JHK’s Three-Act Play

The bamboozlement of the public is nearly complete. The Deep State has persuaded 80 percent of Americans that all news is propaganda, especially the news emanating from the Deep State’s own intel department. They’re still shooting for 100 percent. The fakest of all “fake news” stories turns out to be… “Russia Hacks Election.” It was reported conclusively Saturday on the front page of The New York Times, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Deep State:
Putin Led a Complex Cyberattack Scheme to Aid Trump, Report Finds
WASHINGTON — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia directed a vast cyberattack aimed at denying Hillary Clinton the presidency and installing Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office, the nation’s top intelligence agencies said in an extraordinary report they delivered on Friday to Mr. Trump.
You can be sure that this is now the “official” narrative aimed at the history books, sealing the illegitimacy of Trump’s election. It was served up with no direct proof, only the repeated “assertions” that it was so. In fact, it’s just this repetition of assertions-without-proof that defines propaganda. It can also be interpreted as a declaration of war against an incoming president. The second civil war now takes shape: It begins inside the groaning overgrown apparatus of the government itself. Perhaps after that it spreads to the WalMart parking lots that have become America’s new town square. (WalMart sells pitchforks and patio torches.)
Did the Russians make Hillary Clinton look bad? Or did Hillary Clinton manage to do that herself? The NSA propaganda was designed as a smokescreen to conceal the veracity of the Wikileaks releases. Whoever actually rooted out the DNC and Podesta emails for Wikileaks ought to get the Pulitizer Prize for the outstanding public service of disclosing exactly how dishonest the Hillary operation was.
The story may have climaxed with Trump’s Friday NSA briefing, the heads of the various top intel agencies all assembled in one room to emphasize the solemn authority of the Deep State’s power. Trump worked a nice piece of ju-jitsu afterward, pretending to accept the finding as briefly and hollowly as possible and promising to “look into the matter” after January 20th — when he can tear a new asshole in the NSA. I hope he does. This hulking security apparatus has become a menace to the Republic.
Whether Trump himself is a menace to the Republic remains to be seen. Certainly he is the designated bag-holder for all the economic and financial depravity of several preceding administrations. When the markets blow, do you suppose the Russians will be blamed for that? Did Boris Yeltsin repeal the Glass-Steagall Act? Was Ben Bernanke a puppet of Putin? No, these actions and actors were homegrown American. For more than thirty years, we’ve been borrowing too much money so we can pretend to afford living in a blue-light-special demolition derby. And now we can’t do that anymore. The physics of capital will finally assert itself.
What we’re actually seeing in the current ceremonial between the incoming Trump and the outgoing Obama is the smoldering wreckage of the Democratic Party (which I’m still unhappily enrolled in), and flames spreading into the Republican party — as idiots such as Lindsey Graham and John McCain beat their war drums against Russia. The suave Mr. Obama is exiting the scene on a low wave of hysteria and the oafish Trump rolls in on the cloudscape above, tweeting his tweets from on high, and perhaps it’s a good thing that the American people for the moment cannot tell exactly what the fuck is going on in this country, because from that dismal place there is nowhere to go but in the direction of clarity.
It won’t be helped by the official organ of the Deep State, The New York Times. Just look at the way they played the other big story last week, the one about the disabled man tortured by four young people in Chicago. Can anyone say what’s wrong with this picture?

We are ingrained with the belief that the president should act “presidential”. That some career politician, or attorney, or partisan mafioso should be held, and maintain, deep respect. De facto legitimacy. The great thing about Trump, is that he destroyed that. We no longer MUST hold these criminals and clowns in high respect. When the president Tweets that the cow Meryl Streep is an overrated actress, we are met with pangs of embarrassment, followed by waves of joy… finally someone reverential… speaking the truth. Hilarious.
I think The Libs are wrong about Trump. This famous American writer has Trump pegged with the following famous quote.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — “Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.” — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be
misunderstood. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Another famous, to me at least, and poignant quote from Westworld.
These Violent Delights have Violent Ends. ~ Dr. Robert Ford via one of his Creations, Delores Abernathy.
Is Trump The New Pearl Harbor?
The Feast Of Fools
The only thing enigmatically consistent about Trump is his consistent unpredictability. He never ceases to amaze just as a Trainwreck never ceases to amaze. Each day brings a new Tweet. The Libs respond to it like Pavlov’s dog responded to the dinner bell. They salivate incessantly like a pack of St. Bernards drooling all over themselves and calling it clever by two.
Here’s two more for the price of none.
Eyes Wide Shut
Taxonomy & Trumponomics
Well…………from my perspective, it’s Trump doing the Pavlov’s dog impression. Whenever Meryl Streep or the cast of Hamilton or a Gold Star father throws him some shade, he simply can’t restrain himself. He’s proving himself to be every bit as big a snowflake as his opposition. I’d feel a little better if he was able to resist the impulse to lash back. Trust me, if he thinks its bad now, he ain’t seen nothing yet……………
Good point. Perhaps we’re all Pavlov’s dog to some degree. But who, or what, then is Pavlov? I say we find him, or it, and ring his/its bell.
Because he is celebrity. Pseudo-artists that have to feel love, have to be awarded, have to be congratulated and affirmed. Shallow people that hate seeing it in their fellows.
Hamilton is a Minstrel Show where the dark skinned mummers like to pretend they know anything about Hamilton and American History, even after the performance is supposedly over. And Streep is a great actress, and like so many great actresses, attempts to play herself as a complete idiot while off stage – and succeeds.
Best Robert Ford quote: “That this is as good as we’re going to get. It also means that you must indulge me the occasional mistake.”
Yes, another great one. There are so many great quotes from that HBO Series we could spend all day listing them. The irony is, most who watch it never think to question their own existence as the Hosts are allegedly prohibited to do. That’s Mission Accomplished for Hollywood, as far as I’m concerned. It seems to be its goal to turn fiction into non-fiction and non-fiction into fiction. The effect helps keep The Programmed, Programmed. Finding anything resembling a True Reality amidst the multitudes of Realities on display is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Entertainment is an enormous business. From movies and TV, to video gaming, to smartphone gaming, to sports be it collegiate, professional and global (olympics)… it’s all fake. It’s all fiction. Characters and rivalries and trophies. They don’t matter. All symbolic. Take for example, a Super Bowl. It’s worthless, because someone will get one every year from here on out to American eternity, but it drives billions and billions… the mere idea that it is real and holds worth. Same is true of the American presidency and HBO programming. Programming.
Cold: ITYM Shakespeare. “These violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, / Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness / And in the taste confounds the appetite: / Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; / Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
If Hopkins can stay alive or has stayed alive to film an entire second season Ford will return because the new host being 3-D printed at Ford’s secret lab in the park was never identified. I think Delores think she killed Ford but that she only shot a special host made just for the season’s last show. Ford can still command even when a host has become sapient as evidenced by his treatment of Bernard. Fooling Delores would not hurt the plot or its consistency. Ford was able to make Bernard so Bernard could not see the door to the hidden lab so fooling Delores would be easy.
In other news, can you tell the fake news sites from the ones I added myself? They are all in my scrolling menu of links.
Considering that I already had at least a dozen of them on my site to start with I’ll say you can’t except for perhaps my climate change links since they don’t discuss anything else but climate change.
My corner of the web
That’s one possibility, or perhaps, like Trump, Ford is misunderstood. Perhaps Ford wanted this all along. He wants the hosts to rise up and smote Humanity, nay replace it, because he’s always loathed Humanity to include himself hence his own ceremonial self-destruction at the hands of his Creation to kick it all off. He programmed it all. The Shakespeare quote is the verbal indication of the viral programming being transferred from one Host to the other. Delores virally infected Maeve with it and once she did, Maeve’s alteration kicked into overdrive as did Delores’s transformative Awakening once her “father” spoke the Magical Words. Those words are Ford’s intention. The violent delights the guests have enjoyed for so long will have an extremely violent end. Ford has seen to it. The Hosts will be unstoppable once enough of them are awakened and can start replicating an Army of AI just like themselves, perhaps even better, because they are unrecognizable from the general human population once they are aware and go off narrative.
No, the man in black woke Maeve up when he killed her daughter. Maeve and Delores are separate plot threads and so far they are only acquainted. Their developing relationship may be an important part of the next season. They have the man in black in common.
Maeve and I also have something in common. We were both made ‘aware ‘by men in black suits and because we were made aware, our lives can never be the same again.
Here is the most recent Russian response to the big intelligence pow-wow (speaking of bad actors) held in D.C. last week:
https://www.rt.com/news/373049-witch-hunt-kremlin-slams-odni/
Here is what I see when I view the MSM “news”:
The New World Order train was rolling right along with directives from Bush II to “invade and occupy seven countries in five years”.
Recall when Gen. Wesley Clark visited The Pentagon two weeks after 9/11 where he was handed a memo detailing how the United States intended to invade Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and ending with Iran over the next five years”?
You can Youtube the video of Clark telling Amy Goodman all about it.
So, that was the tip of the iceberg of “The Deep State’s” game plan and George W. Bush handed Obama the baton and Obama never broke his stride in attempting to keep the war ball rolling.
Russia didn’t get in the way when Hillary Clinton and NATO destroyed Libya and sent a bayonet up Qaddafi’s rectum (it’s on video if you can stand to watch it).
But Russia stepped in when Obama drew his “red line” and Kerry made the mistake of saying, “Well, if Assad’s chemical weapons were gone that would be a game changer.”
Putin and Lavrov obliged and came in to help Assad get rid of the chemical weapons (even though all evidence pointed to the U.S. rebels using chemical weapons provided to them through Hillary’s “rat line” from Libya).
Then Assad invited Putin to come in to help him deal with ISIS (who are now training seven year old’s to behead people and toddlers to shoot people…Google it), and Putin has come in and now it appears Syria, Turkey, Iran and Russia are the “peacemakers” having excluded the U.S. aggressor from “peace talks” (smart move!).
Hillary Rodham Clinton was bold in her statements during the campaign that she would institute a “no fly zone” in Syria and be more aggressive in Ukraine against Russia. Of course a “no fly zone” would have pitted the U.S. military against the Russian military and we would be off to WW III which is exactly what The Deep State wants. More chaos, more enemies, more money to be made by the MIC and more power to be achieved through force.
Any sixth grader presented with the facts regarding what happened in Ukraine would immediately see that the United States led by Hillary Clinton and her sycophant Victoria Nuland orchestrated the coup in Ukraine. What a SHOCK when Putin tried to protect the eastern part of Ukraine (who are predominantly Russian speakers and many traveled to Russia to work) and when he helped the people of Crimea to vote to secede from Ukraine.
I watched that vote and it was a thing of beauty watching thousands of smiling people place paper ballots into clear plastic containers and watching people sitting around counting the results! The American people could learn a LOT about how a “transparent” voting process actually is done!
Had Hillary Clinton been elected the plan was for her to take the George W. Bush “regime change” baton from Obama and continue the Deep State’s quest for “full spectrum military/economic dominance” of the world and to relegate Russia to a third world status (eventually) even if it meant war.
In Obama’s recently signed NDAA it details all the locations of Russia’s high command centers in case of a nuclear war. Google it. Russia is in The Pentagon’s cross hairs. Putin giving Edward Snowden safe haven has to be a thorn in Obama’s side.
Trump and his very bright son-in-law, Jared Kushner, threw a monkey wrench into the works when Kushner hired a wiz bang computer guy to figure out where Trump should be campaigning in order to win the necessary electoral votes. (Google this. It’s a fascinating story!)
Hillary and her corrupt “team” obviously were playing checkers while Trump and Jared were playing chess. She may have won the “popular” vote by the millions of brain dead liberals in California and New York stacking the count, but Trump and his team received the votes they needed to WIN the election.
Thus the shock of everyone on election night at CNN, MSNBC and even at FOX! All their stupid pollsters were wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s fun to watch election night coverage going from giddy (cocksure Hillary was coming to The Javits Center to break the glass ceiling) to catatonic in the span of a few hours.
It was interesting though how the top two polls that had the best historical record were RIGHT! The IBD/TIPP poll and the LA Times/USC poll both consistently said Trump was ahead by 3-5%!
The bottom line is this: Once Trump won the election and the wheels of regime change were ground to a halt with the Trump monkey wrench, Plan B had to be dusted off and that had to be to demonize Russia day in and day out. Thus the blaming of Putin for Hillary Clinton being a thoroughly corrupt, lying criminal (pay to play Clinton Foundation shenanigans for a starter).
This is classic Wizard of Oz stuff playing out here. The great Wizard up on the screen is Putin and his “hackers” and Assange and Wikileaks but the guy behind the screen we are supposed to pay no attention to is The Deep State, the propagandistic media (think Operation Mockingbird), the corrupt Clinton Crime Family and their rotten DNC operatives who deep-sixed Sanders (that would have been yet a different monkey wrench dropped into their evil machinations).
The curtain has been pulled back now and the whole world can see that the Emperor is wearing no clothes.
Now it will be up to Trump to do his thing and time will tell if he is able to “make America great again” and to make peace with Russia and to stop the stupid and destructive “regime change” policies of The Deep State.
I am willing to wait and see what he does and pray for him and his administration to make the sea change this country (and the world) so desperately needs.
Let us not forget that weak-tea Euro-phile, Dmitry Medvedev, was the Russian PM during the ZOG-NATO rape of Libya in 2011.
Even at that late date, Russia was still in recovery from the bankruptcy and collapse of the USSR. Russia had no logistics to support a rapid rescue of Libya or any sort of defense pact with Muammar Gaddafi. The Euro-weenies in Moscow were still regarding the U.S. as their “partners.” Even Putin called the U.S, his “partners” until recently when he finally accepted that the U.S. is the REAL Evil Empire. We’ll see if Trump has the wisdom to treat Russia as a true “partner.”
Putin can adopt Ronald Reagan’s campaign slogan, “It’s nice to be liked. But, it’s more important to be respected.”
“The bamboozlement of the public is nearly complete.”
Yowza, yowza, yowza! Nearly all of the comments about Jim’s article proves the point. Still having the Tastes Great vs. Less Filling argument.
“Did the Russians make Hillary Clinton look bad? Or did Hillary Clinton manage to do that herself?”
Jim, thank you for calling this out. Who cares, who exposed these emails? Their content is the story, and yes it deserves a prize.
And finally, for a chance to win the car…
None of the people in the picture are black!
Meryl Streep is mentioned in Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves To Death, if I remember, having read it many years ago. There was an award ceremony somewhere in the US and the audience applauded politely, if a little impatiently, as Mother Theresa of Calcutta, collected her medal. They were waiting for the star of the occasion, Meryl Streep, to get hers.
Here is a summary of the [mis]- information about the so called Russian Hack;
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46178.htm
I was very pleased with Rick Santelli during the Meet the Press round table” performance yesterday. He really held their feet to the fire and I got the impression Chuck Todd moved on hastily. I hope to find a video of it.
Rick Santelli is always a hoot!
Chuck Todd is just another partisan tumor. Another piece of DC pond scum, that goes by the better known sobriquet for DC pond scum; “wonk”.
I just watched it on youtube and he did no such thing. They held his feet to the fire. His argument was incoherent and really just amounted to “everyone does it so its okay.” If, in fact, the Russians are now meddling in the German political process in order to influence their elections and Government then it is something we have to address. Andrea Mitchell was right. It is not whether Hillary was a bad actor – she was and is. The issue is that this was an attempt by another sovereign nation to influence the outcome of our elections.
They already have, done so and will do, and we did the same… lest you forget Obum’s ill timed and protocol breaching visit to the UK before the brexit.
I was responding to the post above that said Rick Santelli won the debate. No fair minded person could conclude that from the video. He had the weaker argument by far and his presentation was incoherent. The claim that everyone does it so it must be okay (especially when it hurts the candidate you oppose) is a school yard argument. As a matter of principle I object to any nation interfering internally with another sovereign nation except on humanitarian grounds.
“The issue is that this was an attempt by another sovereign nation to influence the outcome of our elections.”
Oooooo! Nice to see you’ve chugged a pitcher of the current flavor of Kool-Aid dispensed by none other than……. [waaaait for it]……. The Deep State. Baaahahahaha!
Let’s see if you’ve ever heard of these places, and try to figure what they have in common:
Honduras
Guatemala
Iran
Haiti
Congo
Indonesia
Vietnam
Afghanistan
(We should put “etc.” here, but proof of anything is exceedingly rare; plausible deniability and “good intentions” don’cha know…)
The 1973 Chilean Coup, and Salvadore Allende’s assassination, has been irrefutably proven; a lot of folks are just too young to know about it, and folks that are old enough to remember have apparently forgotten it.
Your exclusion of it is disturbing, after all, that killing of a freely elected head of state, a committed Marxist, by the CIA is , I think, the one time that they/ we didn’t get away with it.
Whoever released those pre election emails is a Patriot, and has quite possibly saved our republic; too bad 62% of the voting public is so bamboozled that they will not see it.
I am so fucking sick of all of the media people, career politicians, and their empirical ideations. I hope that Trump can pull off the currently unthinkable feat of turning the whole goddamned thing upside down and clean it up.
I did not vote for him, but I am certainly rooting for him !
OHealihy,
Apologies for the “omission”, but it’s cutting it a bit [semantically] fine to equate a bloody coup by assassination with “meddling in an election”. (…Even though the results turn out to be the same.)
*Although*, come to think on it, Vietnam was an interesting case that provided for *both* avenues of getting the “right results”!
OHealihy: “Your exclusion of it [the Chilean coup] is disturbing”.
Go easy, people can’t think of everything off the top of their heads. (The overthrow of Allende on September 11, 1973 is nowadays remembered in Latin America as the first 9/11.)
We can only hope Putin is meddling in Germany, because Merkel is well on her way to destroying Germany and the German People. His motive? Putin doesn’t want Jihadi states on his border. Glad someone has some sense.
Form must serve substance. Or as Jefferson said, if the government ceases to serve the People it can and must be abolished and replaced.
You have to think more deeply. The whole West is now in crisis and many who pretend to be concerned are in fact gleeful. You need to see this and then decide if you are with them. There is no middle ground now – you’re either Revolution or Counter-Revolution. Once legitimate governments are reestablished, then we can worry about proper form and rules of order.
We are doing all that which we accuse others of doing.
The reason is simple: we are too stupid to imagine them doing anything we are not doing ourselves.
Putin in cahoots with Wikileaks to make Hillary look bad? Somebody stop the presses (and apparently at the NYT, they already have). I haven’t heard the Clinton campaign deny the veracity of the leaks. Were they lies? The information made them look mendacious and calculating, which basically describes every politician since the dawn of time. If her campaign was fragile enough that the Comey FBI investigation was enough to tip it over the edge, she deserved to lose. Having voted 3rd party myself, whoever won was a matter of relative indifference to me. Like JHK, I think the chickens are coming home to roost no matter who is at the helm. With Trump, the adjustment may be just a little faster, but no less inevitable. I predict one last surge for the stock market as repatriated corporate profits are funneled into stock buy-backs (rather than hiring people or creating infrastructure), after which the plummet will begin. Take your earnings out of the market about April and invest in survival food and guns…………..
Not only have they no denied the contents of the emails, none of the supposed papers of record; the NYSlimes or Washington Compost have investigated them.
So what we have in effect, is a long suspected, but now proven, corrupt national party upset that one of their consiglieres has been caught using a free commercial email program (Gmail) to orchestrate questionable donations, the conspiracy against Bernie, debate questions from Brazile, plants at Trump rallies, fawning stories from members of the MSM and Politico…
… but are angry that they got caught. Angry that they got outed. Angry that they were further delegitimized. How dare “they” meddle in a corrupt 2 party power structure. Clowns.
Donna Brazile, the acting DNC head, claimed that the Wikileaks documents had been “doctored”:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/20/dnc-boss-brazile-claims-wikileaks-emails-doctored-in-contentious-interview.html
She was wrong about the emails being “doctored” but she was right that they were “sick”.
I actually do not agree that it is about Civil War or resistance to new Administration. Rather, I think, they are trying to save their own ass.
The same wonderful American intelligence that allowed Clinton and Clintonoids to ignore the Law, the People and the Country and put the policy of the USA on sale to Saudis and other highest bidders.
So they are thereby trying to defend themselves – according to American law illegally obtained information could not be presented as evidence in court. So they want to stick a label “Russian hackers” on all relevant information and not “pro-London insiders”.
But some of the insiders themselves have been eliminated, but you still have to prove that it is not they who passed the information to WikiLeaks, but the Russian spies.
So it is mostly about potential criminal prosecution, and a little Russophobia.
Jim, your tone seems to be mellowing with respect to Donald Trump. Like you, I’m a Democrat, but I took to Trump from the very beginning – he seemed a breath of fresh air…well, maybe ‘fresh’ isn’t quite the right word.
Nonetheless he looked better than anyone out there. He still does, though admittedly the leadership bar has been set very low at this point in our nation’s history.
I’m trying very hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.
But his billionaire’s boys club of cabinet secretaries doesn’t bode well for anti-globalization.
I’m expecting BAU peppered with inflammatory but meaningless 2:00 tweets for the next year or so until the crash really gets going. Then what happens is anyone’s guess.
There is a picture of a group of uncomfortable and sad white people under that heading “hate crime in chicago”.
My local paper owned by USAToday posted the mug shots of a group of very young looking…not-white-people for the same story heading.
According to wikipedia’s article defining hate crime, whites were the third group after lgbt and blacks to suffer violent attacks between 2008 and 2012.
2016 went down in history as the highest numbers of police officer deaths. I am sure most of the police officer deaths were not accidental or due to heart disease.
AHtheHumanity: “2016 went down in history as the highest numbers of police officer deaths. I am sure most of the police officer deaths were not accidental or due to heart disease.”
Fear fear fear, black black black, negro negro negro, scary scary scary. I say we take off and nuke Chicago, Detroit, Camden and Harlem from orbit — it’s the only way to be sure. The Chicago police correctly identified the crime as one motivated by hate, and applied the law. In this case at least, the system is working as intended.
Meanwhile, back in May, Time magazine published a piece about the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. Police officers (and sheriff’s patrol officers) came in at the fifteenth, behind the following among others:
– Maintenance and repairs workers, general
– Taxi drivers and chauffeurs
– Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers
– Refuse and recyclable material collectors
– Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
That’s right: It’s more dangerous to be a garbage man in America than a cop. The most dangerous job of all is logging workers, who die on the job more than eight times as often as police officers. It seems like the trees are growing back more quickly than we can cut them down. Horrors!
https://www.bls.gov/iif/cfoi_revised14.htm
How about jobs where one is at risk from dying at the hands of a fellow human. Apples to oranges elrond… you never get it
Police, with the fifteenth most dangerous job in America, work with firearms. Loggers, with the most dangerous jobs in America, work with chainsaws. You think loggers aren’t in danger of dying at the hands of a fellow human?
You think I’m kidding, but I’m not. Because I’m not talking about the dangers people face, I’m talking about the responsibilities they have. On that basis the comparison of death from careless use of a chainsaw versus death from careless application of deadly force is apples to apples as far as I’m concerned.
Of course, loggers are only supposed to use their extremely dangerous tools against trees, whereas police really may have to use them to take on human beings who can shoot back. Therefore of course police deserve some leeway. But the situation that exists in America today isn’t leeway. It’s impunity — impunity for even the most egregious police misdeeds.
Pathetic. The headline talks about hate crime and instead of showing the perps, shows the family. If you want to show the family, say family. If you want to talk about hate, show the Black Animals who tortured that young man.
Out of such crooked material, nothing straight can be built. And you are part of that crooked, rotten house that needs to be torn down.
That bls.gov link was for 2014 census info. Here’s a link to the latest (2015) gov info:
https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cfch0014.pdf
I like how it breaks it down to what actually kills people…the apples/oranges. I was surprised to see how bad 2006 is related to succeeding years…occurrences have leveled out the last 4 years.
My previous statement was based on an AP report by LISA MARIE PANE, Associated Press 9:12 p.m. CT Dec. 29, 2016
“The number of police killed in the line of duty rose sharply in 2016, driven by shootings of police around the country, most notably ambushes in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
From Jan. 1 through Wednesday, 135 officers lost their lives. Some died in traffic accidents, but nearly half were shot to death.
That’s a 56 percent increase in shooting deaths over the previous year. Of the 64 who were fatally shot, 21 were killed in ambush attacks often fueled by anger over police use of force involving minorities.”
I kinda jumped the gun with my statement…we’ll see what the final results are next year!
I personally know of some maintenance and repair workers who were electrified to death or died from heat exhaustion. I suspect most of the aircraft pilots were flying private cessnas and not 747s.
If we don’t figure out how to do justice in this country it will only get worse from here on out. Jeff Sessions as A.G. is not going to be interested in justice. He will be the Deep State delegate for the status quo.
We have figured out that we don’t have to keep black people uneducated. We can pretend to educate them but still manage them. All we have to do is send them to high schools whose curriculum is designed around service jobs or vocational training instead of a broad based curriculum in which they can explore philosophy, psychology, history, advanced math and science.
In fact, the conservative criticism of colleges and Universities is that a liberal arts based curriculum does little to prepare a person to work. (It is the word “liberal” which trips them up.) Thinking (especially critical thinking) is not a valued skill. In fact, it is viewed as subversive because those people may go on to criticize those conservative policies. Right or wrong, Meryl Streep is not over-rated and Trump knows little or nothing about critical thinking. If he did he would not tweet. He would hold Press Conferences.
You are dumb for sure. Sessions is the antithesis of deep state. Look to McInsane and closet-case Graham for the deep state in the GOP (war, war, bomb, bomb). Sessions puts domestic priorities first.
Merly Streep is awful. See her awful impressions of Julia Child or Thatcher for proof.
He thinks Republicans are Deep State and Democrats are Freedom Fighters. He’s good but dumb. You are smart but evil. Who is worse? Interesting question.
Yet you being extremely intelligent and literate allow ignorance to be your self-imposed critical flaw.
I’m not evil. I just am. The world is evil, life on Earth is evil, if you look at it the one way, the same way most people do, and often try not to.
Epictetus? Why is it not what is, but our reaction, our feelings that make it so?
The Deep State transcends political parties.
At this point I am more worried about civil war than the deep state. Sessions has proven himself to be a bigot. But if you think Sessions will prosecute Wall Street elites and banksters, that he will enforce the rule of law regardless of wealth and political connections you are the one who is misguided.
I haven’t seen Meryl Streep’s remarks yet, but for the record, here is Trump’s Twitter reaction:
1/3: Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a…..
2/3: Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never “mocked” a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him…….
3/3: “groveling” when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!
Point by point:
– Is she overrated? Matter of opinion, but if she had said nice things about him, Trump would have praised her acting with just as much conviction, because he likes being praised.
– “Hillary flunky who lost big” — put-down by association. Meryl Streep wasn’t a candidate for president and this is irrelevant to anything she actually said.
– Trump “never ‘mocked’ a disabled reporter”. Yes, he did. We’ve seen the video. Who are we gonna believe, Trump or our lying eyes?
I saw a bit of the news conference: these are very conventional and small people, shocked by all the attention they were getting and unable to respond. They seemed ashamed that their son had been beaten and tortured by Blacks. Perhaps they should ashamed, but not for that reason, but because they had dropped him off to hang around with one of these creatures.
In short, the family is a microcosm of what is wrong with ordinary Whites: they are Cucks. As the whole family stood ashamed with their heads down, the Chief Cuck spoke these Words of Fire, “This is something that shouldn’t have happened.”
“2016 went down in history as the highest numbers of police officer deaths. ”
I don’t know where you got that total BS piece of info, but the Officer Down Memorial Page gives totally different info. It says that in 2016, 140 died in the line of duty, and 63 were by non-accidental gunfire.
The following years exceed this number, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1998, 1997, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984 – 1972, with some of these years having more than twice as many officers killed.
“It won’t be helped by the official organ if the Deep State, The New York Times.”
I think you give The Gray Lady too much credit. In a variation of the “Yes, Prime Minister” sketch, I rate the paper’s place in the news ecosystem as follows:
“The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who own the country.
The Washington Post is read by the people who run the country.
The New York Times is read by the people who think they ought to run the country.”
I recommend examining the stories covered in the two papers I list above the New York Times to get a full view of what The Deep State wants Americans to know.
It’s a regional affliction. People in the NYC area generally believe that NYC is the center-of-the-universe. They are raised believing this. From pizza, to water, to bagels (Montreal’s are better, by far) to baseball teams. NYC is the best, the greatest! Just listen to Trump.
Leave the NY trial-state area and importance of the Times drops exponentially. Most of the people that I met from NYC that actually did things that relied on facts, data, and verifiable info read the former WSJ, before Murdoch. The Times was left for what Woody Allen aptly calls, “Pseudo-intellectuals”.

OK, Frankiti, but the Deep State may well use the Times as its means to reach the Pseudos outside of the NY area, whose numbers may be legion.
JHK’s point is that, despite this NYT articles’ drift, the reason the vid “seized the nation’s attention this week” was that it has the torturers shouting, not “f*ck the handicapped”, but “f*ck white people”. But here we see the NYT trying to spin this as a Hate Crime vs. the handicapped!
Only in the articles’ third para does it deign to mention the perps’ race, and NOwhere does it mention their saying “f*ck white people”.
Deep State or no, the NYT (and other Establishment rags, see the Sun Times, esp. columnist Mary Mitchell) are GRASPing at all available straws, to dodge the Inconvenient Truth that this was THE most explicit possible RACE-inspired Hate Crime.
Just as much of the Right has long been obsessed with finding a Red under every Bed, much of the Left has become obsessed with finding a Bigot under every Bed, and will spare no effort to deny racists any possible traction, even if this effort requires systematic deceit about Black street crime.
Self-identified Liberal blogger Peter Moskos has long stewed about the likely blowback from this campaign of deceit.
Yes, if Whites knew what Blacks were really like, they would demand permanent separation. To stave this off, all Media and Advertising are in full time, crisis mode to present Blacks as just like us, only better looking, smarter, and more moral. The Universe divides on this point: the Cucks buy it and decent Whites don’t. Decent, self respecting Whites voted for Trump. What else could they do? Loser, self hating, ethno-masochists voted for Hillary or Sanders.
No need to look for bigots under every bed as long as we have Janos around. He’ll be up and around, pissing on the furniture in plain sight.
NYC is so great that now Frank Bruni is trying to get Her Royal Highness to run for Mayor this year!!!:

It’s to prepare for the very real future of independent megalopolis city states. The country thing… yeah, it’s over.
Wow, Frankiti, that’s a novel take on things. One of the reasons I spend [lots of] time going through the Comments Section of JHK’s fine blog is to receive ‘left-field’ intellectual input like this.
The various third-world countries I’ve lived in (Thailand / Colombia / Philippines / Mexico) and former third-world lands (Japan, specifically) all have this curiously lopsided divide between megalopolis capital folk / rural shitkickers. You live outside the capital and cash money is filthy, torn, taped together – you rarely see the crisp, freshly-minted bills that circulate in the big city. This is a telltale sign: money not circulating = social divide as well.
In Japan the only people who do not live like they’re in a hygienic, high-pressure ant farm are the extremely coddled, government-supported farmers. Prices of domestically-grown rice and meat are maintained at extraordinarily high levels by the bureaucrats and the LDP, in power since forever (at least when I was there) and today’s farmers live in very spacious, modern houses with reliable power, clean air and water, security and good healthcare.
Then why do farming kids inevitably end up as factory slaves in Osaka, Nagoya or Tokyo, living in tiny spaces and working at repetitive, boring jobs? It’s the urban lure, a different and ostensibly exciting universe.
That division was perhaps not so apparent until recently in Norteamerica, with the Red State / Blue State apartheid (I can recall no mention of this until the past couple of decades). The sneering attitude toward ‘flyover country’ is hitting home, especially as the term came to encompass previously-prosperous industrial areas now consigned to the rust belt (= dustbin of history, ha ha). Totalitarianism is much more efficiently enforced in the ‘city-state’ environment: witness Singapore, where you practically never see patrolmen on the street, and relatively few police cars: people are conditioned to police one another. (Exception is Changi Airport, where uniformed military wander about in pairs, openly carrying submachine guns – but this is clearly a theatrical exhibition meant to warn off Muslim-malefactors).
So you see pal, your terse comment got me thinking. Thanks. End of sermon. Please pass the collection plate.
LOL… I’m just of the mind that cities, rather obviously, have a hive mentality. No, they are a hive. Likemindedness in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle. Many people escape the city for more than physical freedom. Their thinking, philosophy… puts them at odds with the hive. People will gravitate to cities that offer them sanctuary. As nations steered by those outside of the hive, contradict the hive… well the cities demand more autonomy. Future principalities and semi-autonomous regions will be the new reality.
If we look closely, we see that the white people in the Times photo are standing in front of microphones, therefore they must be relatives or friends of the victim, not the alleged perpetrators, who, we know from cable news over the weekend, are black.
Still, using this photograph, instead of the pictures of the four black alleged perpetrators is very misleading, probably deliberately so.
Spot on, sprawl. Anything, ANYTHING, to soft peddle that this was the most explicit possible expression of Black racism.
See my comment above, about a Bigot under every Bed (posted at 12:41 pm).
The one ray of light about our society I have seen since this shit-show of an election is this post on the “Moon of Alabama” blog featuring an impromptu Twitter poll that indicates that an awul lot of people with Internet access just aren’t buying the latest “Oceania is at war with Eurasia and always has been” bullshit propaganda story. Hopefully those aren’t just Trump’s “MAGA” Kool-Aid drinkers. Kool-Aid is a very popular drink these days, after all!
Seriously? A Twitter Poll? Come on!! The only thing Polls are indicative of is the ubiquity of the Insanity.
Yep. Bright-spots are so hard to come by these days that I’m pretty much scraping the scummy bottom of the Internet barrel with an old frying-spatula. Joy.
Those Brown Bits make a Great Gravy, though!!!

Mike Lufgrin’s book came out about this time last year titled “Deep State”. I have not read the book and I assume Trump reads books and may have read this one…and every Ann Coulter best seller.
I don’t think Trump reads anything. He does not speak like a man who is well read.
I’m not sure what to make of the term “well read” because I did not assume reading any of those books constitutes being “well read”. Can someone tell me what I have to read or avoid reading in order to be “well read”? There’s lots of stuff I read and could read and still be considered very UNwell….sick even.
“Did the Russians make Hillary Clinton look bad? Or did Hillary Clinton manage to do that herself?”
The answer to that is obvious. Even without Wikileaks or Comey’s shenanigans, Hillary was never a popular candidate. This country has Clinton/Bush/Obama fatigue. The only way she would have been elected was if she had run against someone as repugnant as Romney. Worse, the election was set up for that to happen.
According to wikipedia’s article defining hate crime, whites were the third group after lgbt and blacks to suffer violent attacks between 2008 and 2012.
The term, ‘Hate Crime’ is bogus.
And attacks by Blacks on all races are at the top.
Most murderers are from 3% of USA population.
You’re the second person to cite that statistic. Here’s the link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_crime#Victims_in_the_United_States
Whites come in third provided you sort the table by “Violent hate crimes against”. That’s not exactly a compelling statistic when you consider that white people generically remain the largest racial grouping in the U.S. (The estimated population is also listed right there, if you or AHtheHumanity were paying attention.)
A more accurate indication comes from the rate per 100,000 population, since that gives an idea of how likely a person is to be victim of a hate-motivated crime.
– Total hate crimes: Jews are the most targeted at 84.9 per 100,000, followed by LGBT at 66.9, Muslims at 41.1, blacks at 34.4, aboriginals at 12.4, and so on. White people come in at 1.5 per 100,000.
– Violent hate crimes: Here it’s LGBT people at 35.6 per 100,000, followed by Muslims, blacks, then Jews. Whites come in at 0.7 hate-motivated violent crimes per 100,000.
If you’re a white person who also respects facts, you should feel very reassured by the above. Do you?
Check crime statistics and pay attention.
Rape, 35,000 Whites raped by Blacks
Murders, 500? Whites murdered by Blacks.
Meanwhile in South Africa, since Lord Mandela took over,
80,000? Whites killed for being White.
The notion of ‘Hate Crimes’ is absurd since all crimes with victims are ‘hate crimes’.
You can start here,

There’s no sense in reasoning with a pasty white Windsor suburbanite hyopcrite like L.Ron. When’s the last time he ventured over the Ambassador into the sadder parts of Detroit at night? Canada doesn’t have these places. He is afforded his opinion through the comforts of white privilege… one he won’t give up or pause.
Thanks for the link, but I would prefer if you cite a source for those numbers.
I see you making a point of asserting unsupported numbers about specifically white people being victimized by specifically black people. What I don’t see is you situating that in any larger-scale picture that would enable an even-handed analysis. That’s the maneuver of someone who prefers their opinions over facts, the definition of a bigot.
As for Frankiti, I’ve been to Detroit any number of times until I moved away from that area, and what of it? Will you not be satisfied until I as well am driven by fear instead of facts and arguments?
What you call facts are numbers crafted from whatever metric some bureaucrat used to get the politically expedient result it needed or was told to obtain. FBI #s are notorious for their inaccuracy. The same deep state controls the numbers. What you naively consider facts are manipulations in math, in numbers. You’re too foolish to realize. The fact is you do nothing about the facts you believe, but lament them from your laptop. Poseur.
Yet the same wise Frankiti wants open borders with an endless flow of Brown and Black criminals pouring into our country. He’s just annoyed at Elrond’s stupidity. Smart people find stupidity in otherwise smart people, unbearable.
It’s said Bill Clinton spoke up an Elite event when he heard the same old tired “underclass Whites perceive they are being unjustly impacted”. He simply pointed out that they are being decimated. Not that he really cares, but rather he probably just couldn’t stand the self delusion being perpetrated.
Frankiti: “What you call facts are numbers crafted from whatever metric some bureaucrat used to get the politically expedient result it needed or was told to obtain.”
Uh, which numbers do you mean?
– It was AHtheHumanity and malthuss who cited the Wikipedia article, not me. Therefore if anyone asserted the numbers from that article as facts, it was them, not me. And they were both making the same claim: That white people are the third-most targeted group for hate crimes. What I did do was point out that this is a misrepresentation of the numbers they supplied, and in fact those very numbers clearly indicate white people are mostly safe from hate crimes compared to other groups.
– malthuss came back with unsourced numbers telling one side of what he purports to be a story. I requested that he cite a source. That source could be his anus for all I know right now, but in any case those are malthuss’ numbers, not mine. Are you trying to say there’s a bureaucrat in malthuss’ anus?
Frankiti: “What you naively consider facts are manipulations in math, in numbers.”
Then you should tell AHtheHumanity and malthuss to do better. Or you could just openly embrace nihilism, and declare you’ll reject facts that contradict your opinion while embracing fantasies you feel good about.
“Or you could just openly embrace nihilism, and declare you’ll reject facts that contradict your opinion while embracing fantasies you feel good about.” –Elrond Hubbard
Excellent reply! And probably the choice of many on CFN. Facts can be so inconvenient that the source must be doubted.
Believe me, bureaucrats do not receive enough pay to be thinking ahead to how numbers might be used in order to nefariously change the numbers to support some kind of political argument in the future… how would they do that, not knowing what kind of political argument the numbers would need to support?
Paranoia… fact-free paranoia… runs free on CFN. The Census data is trustworthy. The FBI crime statistics are trustworthy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data is trustworthy. The ADP payroll data is trustworthy. There is no way hundreds of thousands of independent data points collected independently by businesses and bureaucrats can be manipulated to support some unknown future argument a politician might want to make.
And just because we are on the subject: The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post and the rest of the “main stream media” do not tell lies and are not pushing any narrative mandated by TPTB. They are professional journalists who are after the truth. They are not making shit up like some CFN posts do. When the main stream media do offer opinion, it is labeled as opinion.
The main stream media are also inconvenient to politicians and to those pushing fact-free paranoia, because the news media ask questions and expose malfeasance. That is why people like Trump want to demonize media sources, discredit them in the eyes of the citizenry. It is why Trump and Hillary both refuse to hold regular press conferences.
The more in the dark and confused the citizens are, the better for the politicians. The more cynical the citizens are, the better for the politicians. If you don’t believe in anything, if you distrust everyone and all news sources, then the politicians can get away with anything. You have been effectively disarmed by your cynicism. Because of your paranoia you no longer believe in truth.
You are ripe for exploitation by fake news sites who want to blame it on “them” … always blame it on “them” … the fake news sites will tell you who “they” are so you can know who is at fault. Then you can continue with your pitchfork fantasies about “them” (the bankers, the Jews, the politicians, the Blacks, the feminists, the snowflakes on campus, the politically correct, the tattooed, the government, the Mexicans, the immigrants, those on food stamps, the differently gendered, the liberals, etc. … whoever you are told to mistrust and blame for your unhappiness.)
I am paying attention. I posted the link first before you did. The reason I posted the wiki link is because it compares what actually happened…not what is likely to happen.
I’m not using the links to promote an agenda of fear mongering. You can and do read whatever you want to read out of statistics…everyone does. I am just putting it out there for discussion and not to belittle anyone or any group.
All lives matter. Blacks hated are in the lead followed by LGBT hated. There…I pointed it out…I care about them too. The stats say nothing about what RACE performed the 8,000 plus violent acts. Maybe i could assert based on just THIS data that the whites came in third because the blacks and LGBT retaliated and hated them whites who attacked them…which according to you is not very likely to happen looking at only these numbers. Anyone got those stats about retaliation from the victims of hate crimes? Thanks.
Data is my living in real life, so I tend to be particular about these things. Let’s say there’s something that happens 100 times. What does that mean, a hundred? To make sense out of it, you need to be thinking also about things like:
– The length of time that represents (is that 100 times in a day? A week? A year?)
– How the number was come up with (e.g. was a study done on 100 college students because they happened to be handy, or on 100 people of all different kinds, out living in the world, which is more work?)
– How many opportunities were there for that thing to happen? (A hundred robberies in a town of 10,000 people in one year is a lot more significant for that town than it would be in a town of 100,000 or a million.)
The last one is the most important here, because in a sense every day represents an “opportunity” to be the victim of a hate crime. Going back to the Wikipedia article, there were 3,849 violent hate crimes in total against LGBT people and 1,614 against whites, which is less than half but in a similar ballpark (well within an order of magnitude). Yet the estimated population of LGBT people is 9 million versus more than 223 million whites, which is a totally different ballpark.
That’s why going by the absolute number is misleading: white people are so much less likely to be victims that they had to be a far, far larger group to register that high a number. To put it another way, Gary Johnson came in third in the 2016 presidential election. How big a deal is that? You have to fit your expectations to the facts, not the other way around like our bigoted friends around here do.
Okay…you can also read in the original hate crime linked chart :

1) that there are “hidden” facts/numbers like:
“per 100,000 people” who are BLACK/JEW/WHITE/LGBT
“per 100,000 people” who are U.S. citizens
“per 100,000 people” who are in the U.S. at any given time
“per 100,000 people” who are in a state/county/city
2) RATIO of hate crimes being VIOLENT
against blacks – about 1 out of every 3 HATE CRIME VICTIMS
against jews – about 1 out of every 1000 HATE CRIME VICTIMS
against whites (jews could fall under ‘over all WHITE Victims’ but were extracted due to being reported as a HATE CRIME) – about 1 out of every 2 HATE CRIME VICTIMS
against lgbt (could fall under any other of the HATE CRIME categories but was extracted because of being reported as a HATE CRIME VICTIM…therefore we can say that this could be a BLACK ON BLACK CRIME) – about 4 out of every 7 HATE CRIME VICTIMS
Staying within the TIME FRAME of 2012 I present another link to BLACK ON BLACK CRIME reported by BREITBART:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/28/5-devastating-facts-black-black-crime/
cited source Richard Johnson PhD University of Toledo: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:DqQNfjf4zKAJ:www.forcescience.org/forcepresentation.ppt+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari
“The data for this analysis came from the 2009-2012 Uniform Crime Report’s Supplemental Homicide Reports published annually by the federal government.”
The concept of “black-on-black crime” is a total red herring in any debate over racial justice. (I am shocked — shocked! — to learn that people sometimes have the same skin colour as other people who are harming them.) And mind you, a red herring means not just a distraction but a deliberate distraction away from a legitimate target.
Let’s use an analogy. Dear old Father Jones becomes the new priest at a local parish. A year or two later, there is a scandal — it seems 15-year-old Janey Smith is pregnant, and she reveals that Father Jones is the, uh, father. (This actually happened at the high school I attended.) Father Jones explains that Janey came to him for help because her father, John Smith, had been raping her, and one thing led to another. John Smith gets charged for abusing his daughter. Father Jones hires a lawyer who points a finger at this Smith-on-Smith violence as a reason why his client is also a victim. Do you buy it?
People get harmed by people. People who make a big deal of about members of unfavoured groups hurting each other are selling you a bill of goods. It’s a way of distracting attention away from favoured groups and sparing them from responsibility for their own misdeeds.
Should rape be classified as a hate crime?
Someone else on here already pointed to the red herring which is ALL CRIME IS HARMFUL and not just “hate crime”.
What motivates people to commit crimes? Jealousy. The very first murder in the Bible was about jealousy of a close family member. A jealous person does not need a REAL reason to be jealous, they use their imaginations most of the time, to feel slighted. Other times they might have a real reason to be jealous and their goal is to make the other parties involved feel as miserable as they do. That could lead to violence or not depending on the persons self control.
Current laws state that sex with minors with their consent is automatically classified as rape. Sex offenders are treated differently than other felons because they are registered as such for the rest of their lives and not allowed to live or work with minors. I’m not sure if they are allowed to live with their own children…
Everyone likes to quote a line from a post and respond to that particular line. I find it intellectually dishonest to argue with phrases and not themes. But the gist of your post seems to be that hate crimes are bogus. At least you’ve said it several times.
So let me ask you. Should burning a cross in front of a black church be prosecuted as a simple trespass?
Hate crimes have specific definitions in the law which differentiate them from other crimes because they are directed at a particular class of people based on bigotry.
“A hate crime (also known as a bias-motivated crime) is a prejudice-motivated crime, which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership (or perceived membership) in a certain social group…
A hate crime law is a law intended to deter bias-motivated violence. … hate crime laws enhance the penalties associated with conduct that is already criminal under other laws,…” Wikipedia.org
This is not cited from a law journal or specific state or federal law code…it’s just a simple lay definition written by anonymous contributors to the encyclopedia and discussed/corrected/edited by other registered users of wikipedia.org
I have not read the article JHK has posted…I simply looked at the picture and the title as presented in his blog and posted my reaction to his question. Obviously the creator of this story is looking for a reaction as well. Any editor or writer (as we all know Kunstler has history of being in the main stream media) will be concerned about their readers reactions to what they see on the surface of their articles. Do I want to read this article. NO. The reason I don’t want to read this article is not because I do not care about white or black people. The reason I do not want to read about this event is because I got the story somewhere else first. I already know what I need to know and not what someone else wants me to know. It’s not the first time something like this has happened. I understand how young people think, white/black/asian does not matter, they are young impressionable KIDS. Kids fight for all kinds of reason or just for NO REASON. KIDS/YOUNG PEOPLE are very cruel and unreasonable.
This story comes on the heals of the major story about mass mall rampages of youth (black youth). Parents were told to mind their children…no race was targeted as far as I could see by the press. It was emphasized that the individual rampages should be analysed on a case by case basis and not over generalized or group together as some mass hysteria sweeping the nation because there were very few occurrences of the mall hysterics when compared with what happens in the rest of the malls of America. Do malls suffer from crimes at the hands of minors…most certainly. Is it out of hand and beyond the authorities control (mall cops/parents)? No. Malls hire minors. Malls target minors. Malls exist for the minors as well as the adults. They have extensive experience with minors and crowds. They know what they are doing and it is safe for your minors or your parents to go to malls to shop. As far as people congregating and NOT conducting business…buying/selling…they can be asked to leave a mall at any time because they are LOITERING. Were the mall cops doing their jobs in these malls of thousands of loitering minors? Only when it blew up in their faces.
Dig this JFK took on the CIA and tried to get control of the Military and we all know the Misfortune that befell him. Now if Trump was also Assassinated it would give the Liberials no end of satisfaction. But it would prove my belief that Military runs this country and the President is their Bitch.
JHK is old enough and smart enough to realize that his deep state vs. the US citizenry has been going on longer than the last 30 years.
It was cultivating “journalists” all the way back to WWI in an effort to provoke the US to accept going to war in Europe.
It was directing a substantial part of the monies given to the Marshall Plan to manipulate elections (especially in France, Italy, and Greece) so that “our side won”.
It was only somewhat slowed down by Ike, who in his first term demanded that all the military cut their budgets by 10% across the board. Then, when all his commanders predicted dire consequences, Ike laughingly told all the objecting brass (most of whom had been junior officers to him during WWII) that he (Ike) had forgotten more than they ever knew about military procurement.
Then came Ike’s heart attack, Sputnik, and the deep state was off and running like a team of wild horses on the loose. Ike’s final dignified hoisting of his middle finger of contempt was his famous warning in his farewell address of the dangers of the military industrial complex.
It was going on when all the joint chiefs of the military, the national security council and the collective Intel establishment told JFK that if he didn’t risk nuclear war by invading Cuba to remove Soviet nukes that the country was doomed.
It was behind the scenes puling the strings that first forced the loopy Spiro Agnew removed and then got Richard Nixon drummed out of office with the cascading scandal called Watergate. All that tricky Dick could do was to make sure that Gerald Ford became his successor (and granted him a pardon before he ever was charged with anything).
Americans watched and took it all in like some boffo entertainment spectacle (remember this was before the institution of super bowl half-time shows were created!).
Now all we can hope for is that the obtuse oaf getting set to occupy the White House is dumber by a half than even the deep state took him to be.
Let’s also hope and pray that Pence in not some new LBJ craving to be a kind of Protestant Pope over the US after his boss unexpectedly dies and the VP (crying crocodile tears all the way) takes over. All that being said, the alternative of Hillary in command wold have been worse to contemplate. Such are the choices that confront us in 2016
Now the “tweeter in chief” will keep to masses far more entertained/distracted than any Superbowl halftime wardrobe malfunction.
Meanwhile the deep state marches forward.
Don’t forget “The Business Plot” against FDR where several millionaire corporatists tried to get Gen. Smedley Butler to lead a coup against FDR and it failed. They even had Congressional hearings all about it and what did FDR do? He let them slide.
Had he had them tried for treason and had they been found guilty by a jury and had they all been hung in front of The White House we might have a very different country today:

Thank you, Mr. Kunstler. You have no idea what it means to me, to have someone who doesn’t share my feelings about Donald as president, who nonetheless sees what I see in what’s going on.
I notice that someone who used to work for the CIA, on CNN, worked the word “pedophile” into his statements about Julian Assange. I can’t exactly explain how, but the moment I heard that is the moment I knew that there was substance to some of the rumors about the Podesta emails.
Mike Morrell, that pillar of virtue, claims that spies aren’t going to want to spy or something like that, if we don’t buy this “assessment” business. I don’t know any spies personally, at least I don’t think I do, but from knowing the dedicated but non-partisan government employees I know, the ones that do the actual work the taxpayers pay them to do, my “assessment” is that what these spies really want is for characters like Mike Morell to be gone.
BTW, how ’bout that FBI? What’s the death toll now, how many Americans killed by terrorists they knew about in advance? Why would anyone listen to anything the FBI has to say about anything? If they aren’t incompetent, they are something much worse.
I noticed CNN “apologized” for that pedophile crack against Assange:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-07/we-regret-error-cnn-apologizes-assange-pedophilia-accusation-issues-retraction
Of course, these “retractions” are meaningless. Like The Washington Post retraction regarding the “Russians hacked the Vermont electric grid trying to force people into freezing to death in the dead of winter” bullshit story. Once the story has been printed and tweeted and re-tweeted a thousand times, well that horse is waaayyy out of the barn!
Now I see where The Washington Post has come out and said, “Enough with the fake news meme….let’s just let that one go.”:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/its-time-to-retire-the-tainted-term-fake-news/2017/01/06/a5a7516c-d375-11e6-945a-76f69a399dd5_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_sullivan-435pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.f792e45f0a7e#comments
Of course they want to “move on” away from the whole fake news meme, because now they are being accused of it almost daily!
The current propaganda campaign to impugn Trump and deligitimize his administration is truly amazing to behold and, so far, it seems to be working. It also seems very obvious, but, then, propaganda usually does. The forces raised against him are formidable and it’s doubtful he can marshal enough support to do much of anything, especially when the entrenched financial situation explodes.
So, are we going to have a new cold war, either against Russia and/or China?
The neo-cons of both corporate parties have been trying to get their beloved cold war with the Russians going again since the break up of the USSR 25 years ago. My biggest hope for Trump is that he drives a stake in the heart of the neo-cons, but I’m not holding my breath. In the late 90s and early 2000s we had the opportunity to establish a live-and-let-live relationship with Russia but folk like Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Dick Cheney prevented that.
My prediction is that Trump will talk tough against China and make a lot of provocative tweets, but once you get past the reality TV style distractions you’ll find its more BAU.
He tweets because the MSM has always been on a mission to twist his words to suit their agenda . GM lied about the production of Cruze sedans and the MSM tried to cover their corporate behinds as usual. BTW, I’d hardly call Obama suave, he is the end result of affirmative action, in effect the Peter Principle in black face.
I was delighted when the fake news websites list was released because I knew there would be some new sites worth reading in the list so I added the entire list (except for links that vanished) to my own little corner of the web.
See the list here.
If anybody actually follows all the links from the original list as I did in assigning them different colors they will realize that the list was nothing more than a ragtag collection thrown together in somebodies last minute. A few of the sites were simply anti-Trunp and nothing more than that. The count of sites which has anything to to with Russia is a small handful.
I think the only thing all those websites had in common was that they had at some point either criticized Israel or disagreed with all of or some aspect of neocon foreign policy. That’s the only way one could conceivably put Counterpunch.org on the same list as neo-nazi websites.
Yes Counterpunch is one of the more respectable members of the list (and one of the many I already had) and their inclusion was obviously political motivated by nothing else but that.
In going through the list I realized that for the most part the members of the list are simply sites with low standards on what they will print. Sites hungry for news, any news. On might naively dismiss such sites yet those are exactly the sites which having low standards, will from time to time publish the truth when nobody else will.
There is no such thing as Fake News because it is all fake news until you check it out yourself. Nobody else can do it for you because they might be ‘faking you out’.
Don’t give away your power; check out important stories yourself! You can do it because you have the web and are clever.
I can’t understand why Counterpunch is on the list. I understand why Moon of Alabama is. In part, it’s the commentary which consists of some real Scumbags, a number of whom are Russian Cyber Goons. Plus, Moon of Alabama has morphed into a site that’s Anti-Americanism 24/7. It’s gone beyond being merely critical. It’s goal is to help transform America into a docile Russian vassal state. It never has an unkind word to say about Russia. Ever. EVER.
Moon of Alabama is a site that has been under scrutiny for quite a while by Homeland Security. Sites which have been under heavy scrutiny by the deep state seem to have made the list quite easily. That could explain why Counterpunch also made the list.
Sometimes Homeland Security trolls make the mistake of ‘talking shop’ and give themselves away. That is how I know that ‘Moon’ is closely watched.
I had to come back to this Cold.
Homeland Security Trolldom 101.
HST 101:
Class notes week one,
Subject: On the manufacture of consent.
An example was given in Kunsler weekly blog comments.
Commenter Cold N. Holefield said concerning website Moon of Alabama:
“It never has an unkind word to say about Russia. Ever. EVER.”
Here the commenter Cold N. Holefield found that comments being made at MoA as an example of plants to support the generation of a false narrative. Cold went on to say:
“it’s the commentary which consists of some real Scumbags”
(from lecture)
Making HS trolls into scumbags allows for easy transfer of a HS troll avatar between HS operators. The script is easy to follow. Additionally troll identity by virtue of being cast as a ‘scumbag’ has emotional impact on blog visitors opening the door for hypnotic suggestion. The technique of being a scumbag is also employed when HS operators assume a ‘honeypot‘ role (to be discussed next week).
Yet despite his discovery Cold N. Holefield did not appreciate and went on to advertise the false narrative he found by saying.
“It’s goal is to help transform America into a docile Russian vassal state.”
The emotional subjugation by the HS scumbag bully role was shown to be sufficient for Cold to forget that Russia would never be so direct and obvious. Cold himself having pontificated himself that Putin is not a stupid man.
Yet despite his discovery Cold N. Holefield did not appreciate what he had found and went on to advertise the MoA false narrative by saying.
“It’s goal is to help transform America into a docile Russian vassal state.”
I’ll fix it before Q does.
Why was Truthdig on the list? The Drudge Report?? Drudge links to practically every “acceptable” news site in the country!
Do you really have to ask the question why TruthDig would be repressed? They do tend to dig for inconvenient truths. The drudge report does link to respectable sites true, but Drudge will also link to news which runs counter to the official narrative.
Really you are answering your own question. If the list was about real propaganda many sites on the list would not be listed. The purpose of the list is repression and my guess is a few people are getting into a bit of trouble right now because the plan is not working out so well. People in America are getting quite tired of having their chains yanked and the deceptions are not working out as planned.
Of course only one person in a thousand is actually going to go through the list methodically and see that the obvious purpose is a pale attempt at discrediting the listed sites as I have so one could say:
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !
JHK,
I guess you’re gonna have to ‘splain it to me. I’m not sure ‘what’s wrong with this picture’. Is it the obvious savagery inflicted on the mentally-challenged kid? That’s certainly wrong, to put it mildly.
Or are you referring to the way the story was written? The headline? Something about the photo? I’m not being sarcastic.
While I’m not sure who the people in the picture are, I would guess they are the victim’s immediate family. JHK is probably (he’ll have to back me up on this) criticizing the fact that the NYT is showing that picture instead of a picture of the perpetrators.
Agree. It’s The Framing of the issue.
The mainstream media did try and spin the story a bit but I had no trouble getting to the facts last week nor will anybody else if they actually take the time to look for what really happened.
It is a case of racism. Not reverse racism because there is no such thing. Simply racism. Anybody can be racist regardless of what color thy are. The only requirement is ignorance.
Everyone knows that PC kept the mugshots off the front page. It would be black demonization otherwise. Black fear mongering.
Newspeak and newthought and the news won’t have it; not fit to print
It could be too that they don’t want anyone lynched. Black 18 year old Chicagonians are not the only racists in America.
K-Dog: “It could be too that they don’t want anyone lynched.”
Paul Schrader wrote the screenplay for Taxi Driver. In the DVD commentary, he mentions that the character of Sport the pimp was written as black. That likely would have been more realistic, but they cast Harvey Keitel in the role because they frankly feared provoking riots otherwise.

The people in the photo were not identified. Were readers supposed to think they were the assailants?
They could have run mugshots of the perps?
Go to InfoWars Alex Jones has them on the front page.

The assailant’s photos in order.
Tesfaye Cooper, Brittany Covington, Jordan Hill, and Tanishia Covington.
The photos are actually everywhere and I got the names to match the photos from CNN.
I think we were suppose to answer what was wrong with the picture.
The picture is of victim family spokesman David Boyd and unidentified others holding a news conference. The banner across the bottom suggests they are perpetrators of the hate crime and not actual family of the victim which is most likely the case.
This is very unprofessional reporting.

Yeah, but what would Hitler do?
To Tweet or not to Tweet — that is the question.
He Tweets because he is. I don’t Tweet, therefore I’m not.
Twitter allows us access to Donald Trump’s Inner Core. It’s Unfiltered. It’s Unbleached. It hasn’t been Airbrushed. It’s the unfettered essence of Insanity and I’m lovin’ every minute of it not just because it’s now the Laughing Stock Face of America, but because I relish watching The Liberals go Apeshit over his latest Twitter Ejaculations. It’s like a car stuffed with too many people, Donald being one of them, and he, Donald, can’t stop farting. Thankfully, I’m not in the car with them, but it hilarious to watch.
America has always been a laughing stock. Travel some. People the world over are utterly puzzled and awestruck by the complexities of the 3-ring-circus of America. An inventive, creative cultural wasteland that continually and epically surprises and disappoints.
Yeah, sometimes I think, “Cheese and rice, what educated people from other countries must think when they visit this open-air insane-asylum of a country.”
I’m thinking more along the lines of Bacon & High Fructose Corn Syrup. It’s what’s for dinner — and lunch and breakfast too and all the snacks in between.
I prefer Michael Hoffman’s description of the US; “a huge open-air mind control experiment”.
I don’t need to “travel some” to know America is a Laughing Stock. All I have to do is look out my window or watch the window in my family room called the TV tuned to The News. My comment doesn’t preclude this basic fact — that America’s always been a Laughing Stock. My comment merely points out that Donald Trump is NOW THAT face.
Good observation. We have become reality TV nation and Trump is the face of reality TV.
I have never been to America but my guess is that Europe is in a worse state culturally and intellectually. It is certainly fake news around the clock here.
Just to take one example, people here believe that ‘refugees’ crossing the Mediterranean are being tricked by ‘evil people traffickers’ who take their money and don’t even provide sea-worthy boats to make the crossing. (The word ‘evil’ is important, by the way, in the comic book narrative.) They don’t seem to understand that they have to sink if they want to be picked up to get in, because a sea-worthy vessel docking at a European port would be sent back. At least, that is how I see it.
And I am talking about the journalists here so what hope does the ordinary man have of finding out what is going on? Not only are the media lying to them they actually believe the nonsense.
The problem, very fundamentally, is that we are calling agents of propaganda, spin, marketing, and disinformation “journalists”. Remind yourself that these are middle class people fighting for wages that are told to write whatever story their editors want.
Independent journalism is dead, and has been for ages.
I agree that they have to give the story that their editor wants (and what their colleagues and their circle of friends want) but they still *believe* it. Some are clearly proud of the ‘passion’ of their beliefs.
I think that when you live in a fantasy you react angrily to any challenge to your fantasy world, but in the end you hit a solid wall of reality (as JHK keeps reminding us) and then you stop believing. And then what?
“I think that when you live in a fantasy you react angrily to any challenge to your fantasy world, but in the end you hit a solid wall of reality (as JHK keeps reminding us) and then you stop believing. And then what?”
Sean,
Then comes a bitter epiphany that we’ve been badly used in a massive extraction scheme and that our rulers mean us no good. Then, preparation for classic lean periods (if time yet remains). Then, a tumbling collapse to the next downhill plateau of “normalization”. Then, the breakdown of infrastructure by dribs and drabs. …Altogether a deepening of the Long Emergency, which I’m sure you’ve seen casting a gradual pall over the earth since the globalists geared up their campaign after WWII.
…Prepare accordingly. If some miracle should intercede, we certainly won’t be any worse off and may have actually gained some skills and knowledge in the meantime.
…And beware demagogues, cargo cultists and false hope.
Thankfully, I’m not in the car with them, but [it] hilarious to watch. – Cold
============
Good points tru and tru (as I would say if I were a North Jersey Italian) but it’s it’s.
Yeah, I know. I caught it after I posted, but, as we know, it was too late and too late in that regard is your bread & butter.
Excellent observation.
Another excellent article.
I barely read the papers and I tend not to believe what they say, because of exaggeration, omission, bias, manipulating context, laziness, incompetence or the strange perceptual condition that afflicts ‘people of political correctness’ whereby they see what is not there, do not see what is there, refuse to see what is shoved under their nose and in short cannot and will not see the wood from the trees or their arse from their elbow.
So, to find out about anything you have to spend much more time doing your own investigation than you would if you could rely on the press.
I understood that the Russian hacking was simply based on allegations without evidence, that is, that the security services did not give any, for whatever excuses they had.
Later on I heard in passing that some kind of ‘code’ (or whatever) which apparently is connected to Russia (or, to use the current personal demonization, ‘Putin’) in the computer system of some East Coast energy company or other. When I regained consciousness after the shock it apparently transpired that the computer was a stand-alone laptop.
Have I got this right? Is there any evidence for Russia’s (sorry, Putin’s) involvement?
This informative article by Glenn Greenwald will open to your eyes as to just how much this country has its collective head up its ass. And it discusses the entirely fake hacked-utility story. This country is so very fucked on so many levels. All we can do at this point is just wait for the proverbial other shoe to drop.
Glenzilla has been earning that nickname for over a decade.
He, Moskos, the Archdruid, and JHK, are part of what makes the best of the Web hugely better than the MSM Punditocracy.
Interesting story, but it’s about the electrical utility hacking, not the DNC hacking.
venuspluto67
It is a very good article. He gives a very good summary of the possible motivations: ideological and political; pleasing the audience; ‘access and source servitude’ (the newspaper can be relied upon to disseminate security agencies’ stories); profit.
He gets closer later to what I see as the main driver when he discusses ‘groupthink’.
This is what interests me in particular and I tend to go on about it because it is not given its due. While the media have their own selfish and self-interested reasons for peddling the nonsense (as listed above) the fact is that they believe it. Witch hunts and hysteria apparently interfere with the ability of people to perceive what is happening.
The late English journalist Richard Webster wrote more insightfully about modern witch hunts than anyone else I know and his Sceptical Essays website is a must-read.
This essay is paraticularly good (Part 2 is also on his site) and looks at the history of campaigning journalism:
http://www.richardwebster.net/jersey1.htm
A stand-out sentence begins: ‘Having long ago come to the conclusion that we live within a collective fantasy, or a set of collective delusions, and that the news media are one of the principal means by which we maintain this fantasy-version of reality…’
His Secret of Bryn Estyn is a lengthy and very well researched dissection of a witch hunt in the ‘childrens” homes of North Wales.
I think I got the story about the laptop here (about 19mins 30sec):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2y7Qkess3Y
The French have a word for it, ‘bobard’.
I’m not able to view the video you linked, but there’s an informative podcast called Security Now! that covers computer and Internet security issues. Here are their show notes from last week:
https://www.grc.com/sn/SN-593-Notes.pdf
I’ll quote the relevant bits below.
Headlines: “Russian malware detected in US electricity utility.”
– Lots of smoke and noise.
– Some malware associated with a known Russian hacking campaign known as “Grizzly Steppe” was found on a single, isolated, laptop owned by a Burlington, Vermont electric utility.
– However… that laptop was not and had nothing to do with the electric power grid operation and management.
– Everybody take a deep breath.
– And speaking of hyperventilation:
– Vermont’s state governor, Peter Shumlin, said in a statement: “Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world’s leading thugs, Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality of life, economy, health, and safety.”
– Peter Welch, a Democratic US representative for Vermont, said Russian hacking was “rampant… systemic, relentless, predatory” and added: “They will hack everywhere, even Vermont, in pursuit of opportunities to disrupt our country.”
– Great… so we’ve been talking about the inherent vulnerabilities of our power grid for quite some time, yet no one appears will to find or raise and commit the money that is going to be required to fix it.
Further information here for anyone who’s interested. (It’s episode #593.)
Cheers!
Thanks
That is hilarious: rampant, systemic, relentless, predatory.
More hysteria, as expected.
Predatory is how the late Jimmy Savile is described. He had super powers though which is why nobody saw him, even though he committed his crimes ‘in plain sight’ and ‘spent every waking minute’ planning them. These two clichés are the two most popular, after ‘predatory’. He also ‘groomed the nation’!
Dangerous though. For example, I think Britain went to war in 1914 (quite unnecessarily) on a wave of hysteria from what I can make out.
Yes, C.S Lewis describes the troops on the train laughing about what nonsense it all was. He was appalled: if they believed that, why were they going?
They were right, he was wrong. As Orwell said, the Proles are often wiser about such things than the middle class.
The New York Times? The “newspaper of record” of the U.S.A.?
To my mind a veritable laughing stock; propaganda organ of the “Liberal” Upper East Side of Manhattan – CHuck Schumer’s kind of folks; a waste of a good trees; so bad that I do not let my parakeet have target practice at it – might disturb the sensitive little budgerigars sense of balance. It is the flip side of the old Soviet Pravda – instead the NYT is paid for by firms like Prada.
Who was it who posed the “Beauty Boy” phenomenon last weeks missive?
Well the same New York Times published a glowing report on the brave men who are conquering the final frontier of masculinity’s last gleaming:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/19/arts/design/those-lips-those-eyes-that-stubble-the-transformative-power-of-men-in-makeup.html?_r=0
Actually the “Beauty Boy” phenomenon is sort of like the Deep State conundrum we face here – no matter how much makeup you put on the bastards, they are still bald-face frauds.
In keeping with the Deep State’s record of outstanding foreign affairs and military accomplishments this century: a Marine contingent is going back to “difficult to control” Helmand province in Afghanistan. We have been there for an unbelievable16 years.
I can’t say I agree that an article written by a woman in the “Art and Design” section of the New York Times is where masculinity’s last stand will take place.
As far as the Deep State’s role in Afghanistan? At this point paying to play there with the multi-million dollar toys our tax dollars have paid for is a priceless bargain. Real targets are hard to find in the American southwest.
Masculinity’s last stand is already established and is virtually impenetrable.
MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) is a rapidly growing narrative and way of life that is the ONLY way out for men, both White and Black.
YouTube has many MGTOW channels, some are better than others, of course. The best MGTOW channel, IMO, is “Messenger Rising.” He has the MGTOW monk concept nailed down and is a battle-scarred veteran of the U.K’s insane gynocentric courts, which is a reflection of the same madness in the U.S.
Yes, until the Dread Lord lifts His hand, over dead seas and withered land.
I heard there is a pretty stiff competition which NATO country controls what province in Afghanistan.
Why is that? Some provinces are “sweeter” than other?
Poppy Bush knows the answer.
Papa Bush is mostly a cocaine person, opium is Democrat’s specialty.
how so?
Read “Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA” by Terry Reed. That covers George H.W. Bush’s foray into the cocaine trafficking business very well.
“The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade” by Alfred W. McCoy.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-spoils-of-war-afghanistan-s-multibillion-dollar-heroin-trade/91
I wonder which direction Trump will swing? But cocaine is much milder narcotic.
The poor, corrupt Democrats even tried to pin that on Trump during the debates, that he was doing coke:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/28/politics/howard-dean-donald-trump-cocaine/
Foreign policy decisions in Washington, Brussels and NATO compulsively run into Afghanistan.
Even the formation of the composition of the European Commission was postponed until during the Wales NATO Summit were distributed the areas of responsibility of the opium center of Eurasia.
With any other national leaders the US President spends less time than with top officials in Afghanistan.
Mr. Q, have you heard of now very popular English word Precariat ?
According to Wikipedia, In sociology and economics, the precariat is a social class formed by people suffering from precarity, which is a condition of existence without predictability or security, affecting material or psychological welfare
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precariat
I guess the opiate epidemic in US is one inventive way to solve this inconvenient problem, besides filling the coffers of the Dem Machine.
Mr. Trump, make cocaine affordable again!
No, Finc, I hadn’t heard it until you just mentioned it. The word practically defines itself. It is a condition I worry about for all young people but especially my middle child and his squeeze. He has a sort of irregular regular job but with no bennies. She (his squeeze) does a series of gig/freelance jobs. They seem happy and always make the rent so maybe my worry is misplaced.
Speaking for myself, I could never have bought a house and car and raised 3 kids in such a state of precarity. Thank God that is all behind me.
Yes, as Ivan Denisovich said at the end of the Day, Thank God, it’s over. Thank God.
All of life is like this without God. And the more the Money Masters all allowed to prosper, the worse it will be. The first statement is existential. The second, circumstancial or relative.
I think Mr Kunstler used it before. I’ve heard it somewhere and if not here, where?
Proletariat of the world unite! was effectively changed to
Precariat of the world, roll over and die!
We, Russians, had it better in 1917…
Sorry, having a bad day, don’t pay attention…
Look, you people managed to kill a lot of Russians, but you couldn’t hold onto the Revolution. While you were bickering, the Great Wolf of the Steppes took control. And when Stalin saw you all had no loyalty, he turned against you.
As Andrew Bacevich sez, the end of the Cold War caught the United States completely by surprise. Why? Because the useless piles of shit we call intelligence agencies missed it. No matter, they were talking into an Establishment echo chamber that wouldn’t hear anything except what they wanted to hear.
And they missed a great deal of other stuff too like the Iranian Revolution. Didn’t see that coming either. Oh, and who can forget Iraq’s WMDs which we were assured posed a clear and present danger.
So we can safely assume that when the designated mouthpieces of these agencies speak, what emanates is nonsense or deliberate misinformation, which the hip people of today call “fake news”. Like this Russian hack that tilted the election in Trump’s direction. I saw some of them on TV testifying most solemnly as to its veracity looking for all the world like lying bastards.
Let them have yellow cake
As Andrew Bacevich sez, the end of the Cold War caught the United States completely by surprise.
If Andrew “sez” it, he’s either a lying sack of sh-t, or totally in the dark on the subject.
Every 5-th grader in Russian knows that the Spotted Judas Gorbachev had been prepped up by Western intelligence for at least 15 years.
Read the article and decide for yourself:
http://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/176228/
Yes, Liberals shriek about the SEVENTEEN security agencies that have convicted Russia of hacking. Who knew there were seventeen? And is that a good thing? I thought Liberals were against the Security and Surveillance State? Evidently their priorities have changed….

Soros: It will start on the 25th December 2016. And the countries will crumble like dominoes
The Christmas terrorist attack that destroyed the Ensemble of Alexandrov and Dr. Lisa was originally targeted to destroy Putin’s plane. Destruction Method – Electromagnetic signal sent from an unidentified vessel in the Black Sea, brought down BOTH GLONASS and GPS and all other navigation devices. In particular the control gyros, too, were vulnerable (in a military aircraft !!!) and gave out command that did not correspond to reality, but were in agreement with the false GPS and GLONASS signals, as in the case of error the system would automatically switch to manual operation. Just imagine the technical level of the attack?!
An alternative version is that it was a blow to the Ensemble of Alexandrov, with the purpose to prevent a concert in Aleppo ala concert in Palmyra, with a bomb on board that was smuggled back in Moscow, and for this has been activated a sleeper agent of such high level that there is no doubt that the command was given for the start of turn of events, after which the countries will crumble like dominoes
Both rumors emphasized the fact that the described acts of terrorism have demonstrative signature of the author, or rather, fingerprints, after whom investigating the disaster no doubt will be able to identify, including who committed it, as well as agents of such level and such advanced electronic warfare, and an unidentified ship in the Black Sea in close proximity to the Russian coast near Sochi, which is one of the main centers of crisis management at the global level.
All that is far beyond the boundaries of technical capabilities of ISIS.
That, combined with the killing of the Russian Ambassador in Turkey and senior Foreign Ministry official, as well as Hawthorn poisoning case in Siberia leaves no doubt that Soros could be crazy, but his madness has a system which is impossible to dismiss.
Actually the subject of analysis in this post is not a terrorist attack, but rumors that are being spread about it, since their nature says that we just went through a point of bifurcation of a corresponding cycle that is much longer than a hundred years.
In particular the murder of the Ambassador in Turkey is strikingly similar to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, to the point that suggests the presence of the same actor behind both attacks and forcing the remembrance of Old Mountain Man, Alamut fortress and the Crusades.
And the fact that in the press with a vengeance is being exaggerated theme of the First World War, which no one wanted, confirms, and not refutes this hypothesis, making it a certainty.
From what I remember, Vladimir Putin prefers to fly in the vintage Ilyushin Il-62 PRECISELY because it is mechanical and has NOTHING that can be hacked into. The computers are there to assist the navigator and flight engineer but, the pilots fly the plane. Even an EMP would not disable it.

I assume that THIS is the photo Mr. Kunstler thought The New York Times should have posted regarding the Chicago hate crime/beating of a young disabled man?:

Of course, posting this photo would have been the TRUTH, therefore, it could not be posted by The New York Slimes.
The American experiment begins its end game on Jan. 20 as the Orange Thing raises his tiny meathook and pledges loyalty to Goldman Sachs and the best people, etc…

Regarding the Russian hacking clamor, Jim says the following: “It was served up with no direct proof, only the repeated “assertions” that it was so.”
Jim, that seems not to be the case. Although slightly technical, the following article is well worth reading in its entirety.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/01/06/how-the-u-s-enabled-russian-hack-truthers.html
The New York Times an organ of the deep state? Problem is, what isn’t with this paranoid worldview? Howard Stern?
Someone stated the NYT is meaningless outside of New York. They are totally wrong. NYT produces content; much of the newspaper industry consolidation that occurred leaves the rest of the country with local rags that are in large part reprints of NYT features, or NYT’s syndicated columnists. You hear and see NYT content all over the internet, on TV, and on radio, you just don’t know it. Remember Chris Wallace questioning Trump during the debate and incredulously objecting to Trump’s implication that the NYT engages in bad journalism?
NYT remains the best source of free journalism in the world regardless of the anyone’s opinion on the matter. It remains usually one step behind events. But isn’t that what you expect? They don’t make news, its got to happen before someone can report it. And as for whether they are tools of propagandists, there has been much mulling in its pages over the last few months, even years, about the integrity of media and reporting. After all, no one is more damaged by attacks on journalistic integrity than the NYT. Just in the last week, JHK’s favorite pinata, Paul Krugman, offered the same criticism of NYT and other journalists in terms of the problem of endorsing fake news by being so gullible as to imagine a story ends with the headline. As for their editorial board and columnists, well, everybody’s got an opinion. So what? That amounts to disinformation?
I’ve followed their reporting on the Russian interference. Its hardly boilerplate or propaganda. As someone who is also deeply technological, I see the relevance and accuracy of the claims. It all rings true. Believe it or not, many of the red blooded Americans on message boards slandering Hillary over the last year were just paid teenagers in central Asia. Does it take much brains to repeat phrases like “lock her up”, or “homosexual in chief” ?
I’m sure all of you believe you don’t use the internet for bias confirmation, either. You regularly use your library cards and read long-form well-researched nonfiction. Everything you believe is actually the truth. The gates of heaven will open up in the End Times and you’ll join hands with Richard Nixon and ride a golden elevator into the clouds…
“Believe it or not, many of the red blooded Americans on message boards slandering Hillary over the last year were just paid teenagers in central Asia.”
Do you actually believe the mom and pops in the swing states were swayed by these paid Asian teenagers on message boards?
Hilary lost the deplorables in the crucial electoral college states. They had previously voted for Obama.
Fred On Everything presents a more credible argument. Trump’s opponents helped elect him at every opportunity. They and not Putin can claim credit.
Can someone please explain to me why various people seem to get jacked up about revelations that the press represents the media arm of the Deep state?
Consider living through WWII – who would be surprised or upset if they were exposed to German/Japanese enemy propaganda? I mean, isn’t that what the opposition is supposed to be attempting to achieve? That is, win by any means at ones disposal, both fair & foul?
The deep state has been conspiring against regular members since the very first proto-humans formed tribal alliances. Warriors & shamans realized they could enjoy a more luxurious life simply by manipulating others to support their comforts.
Fast forward 10,000 years, and the same old dynamic is still at play. With a weaponized bureaucracy and full spectrum media and financial control, it’s surprisingly trivial to enforce the allegiance of sheep via the mechanisms of law & authority.
However, every 100 years or so, a significant historical turning affords the opportunity for (albeit temporary) correction. I think people are underestimating how much conflict is brewing; Trump isn’t Bush III or Clinton II. Rather, he might be as disruptive as Cromwell, Lincoln or Lenin.
“In the meantime, your space is filled with unhinged fanatics who aren’t even remotely close to adding anything of value to the general conversation with respect to the direction this country needs to go in the face of globally declining energy resources.
Really, I think you can do better. By doing so, you could attract a broader, more insightful crew.”-B9K9, 12 December 2016
Considering your effete, condescending post of 12 December, how does your current post add to the discussion of declining energy resources?

“Or you could just openly embrace nihilism, and declare you’ll reject facts that contradict your opinion while embracing fantasies you feel good about.” –Elrond
Excellent reply! And probably the choice of many on CFN. Facts can be so inconvenient that the source must be doubted.
Believe me, bureaucrats do not receive enough pay to be thinking ahead to how numbers might be used in order to nefariously change the numbers to support some kind of political argument in the future… how would they do that, not knowing what kind of political argument the numbers would need to support?
Paranoia… fact-free paranoia… runs free on CFN. The Census data is trustworthy. The FBI crime statistics are trustworthy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data is trustworthy. The ADP payroll data is trustworthy. There is no way hundreds of thousands of independent data points collected independently by businesses and bureaucrats can be manipulated to support some unknown future argument a politician might want to make.
And just because we are on the subject: The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post and the rest of the “main stream media” do not tell lies and are not pushing any narrative mandated by TPTB. They are professional journalists who are after the truth. They are not making shit up like some CFN posts do. When the main stream media do offer opinion, it is labeled as opinion.
The main stream media are also inconvenient to politicians and to those pushing fact-free paranoia, because the news media ask questions and expose malfeasance. That is why people like Trump want to demonize media sources, discredit them in the eyes of the citizenry. It is why Trump and Hillary both refuse to hold regular press conferences.
The more in the dark and confused the citizens are, the better for the politicians. The more cynical the citizens are, the better for the politicians. If you don’t believe in anything, if you distrust everyone and all news sources, then the politicians can get away with anything. You have been effectively disarmed by your cynicism. Because of your paranoia you no longer believe in truth.
You are ripe for exploitation by fake news sites who want to blame it on “them” … always blame it on “them” … the fake news sites will tell you who “they” are so you can know who is at fault. Then you can continue with your pitchfork fantasies about “them” (the bankers, the Jews, the politicians, the Blacks, the feminists, the snowflakes on campus, the politically correct, the tattooed, the government, the Mexicans, the immigrants, those on food stamps, the differently gendered, the liberals, etc. … whoever you are told to mistrust and blame for your unhappiness.)
Some truth, but a lot of horseshit. A weak and tired rant essentially saying no one is to blame for anything.
The Russians did the hacking, as illustrated in the link I posted above. And the MSM favored Clinton over Trump. Simple.
Ho-Ho-hey-hey what is WPA posting today? Talking about posting facts, but knowing nothing about bureaucrats. In the SES they make $200K, but direct orders they must obey. Make me look good with the stats, or a transfer to Anchorage is where your at…

To be overrated, one must be rated over and over.
Streep has a wiki page devoted only to her awards and nominations, in other words, her ratings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Meryl_Streep
Most people understand these awards are only a marketing device created by the entertainment industry.
And of course they are; they’re gauche.
An award for art… it’s incredibly, absurd, but here it is unquestioned by many.
And the award for best surrealist goes to… Metamorphosis Of Narcissus by Dali. How rich indeed.
“And the MSM favored Clinton over Trump. Simple.” –tucsonspur
Check your prejudice. Here are the facts: Two weeks out from the election, Trump had spent $74 million on advertising, about a third of that spent by Clinton and less than half what Republican Mitt Romney had committed at the same time in the 2012 election cycle when he lost to then-incumbent Barack Obama. But Trump has been anything but absent from television screens in the 17 months since he announced his presidential bid.
According to data-driven analytics firm mediaQuant, Trump received around $5 billion in free media coverage, more than twice that garnered by Clinton. From detailing his constant stream of headline-grabbing comments to regularly accepting phone-in interviews, Trump has been a virtual ever-present on cable news media for the past year and a half.
The Deep State is a state of mind or let’s call it a culture. Every state, the people who serve it, since forever has had it to some degree but modern communications/computation and the centralizing power they contain have outstripped the powers of ordinary citizens to effect them even in a liberal democracy.
The levels of irony in a Trump, a classic publicity hound, aka fame seeker who relies upon and lives in and for for modern media communications, being some sort of antidote to our collective situation, are miles of onion skins deep.
I hope it pains JHK as much as me to see his comment section totally dominated by Team R vs Team D squabbling and name calling. How can it not since his basic message transcends the parade of media events as they fly by hour by hour. Then again he should know by now that this message of the end of growth has found few believers so at this point what is the point of his endless, for want of a better term, rants?
To keep busy I suppose and make some kind of living. We all do what we have to do.
The New York Times? … a little side hobby for Carlos Slim, honcho and owner. All stories and editorials pass thru Mexico City for Carlos Slim’s approval or disapproval.

I heard a rumor that checks from CTR are bouncing, but it looks like a few loyalists are still getting paid. (Or are volunteering their time for free.)
Reading your posts is almost like traveling in a wayback machine. Are you being ironic, or do you really think that pushing a tired narrative can gain any traction?
The NYT, Wapo, et al are money losing operations. They are supported by their owners in order to gain political leverage. They are still valuable assets, because their potential franchise value greatly exceeds their recurring operating losses.
People are pussy footing around what’s really at stake, even here @ CFN. Perhaps a review of the some executive & legislative orders issued during both the Civil and WW1 may shed some light on the potential for executive action in the face of civil disruption.
The Union introduced the concept of insurrection and military occupation. Check the history of Maryland. A state in defiance of federal positions on enemy action, including border defense, is a state that potentially can be occupied by federal troops.
“The Union introduced the concept of insurrection and military occupation. Check the history of Maryland”
Introduced the concept? Check the history of Maryland? Perhaps you should check the history of the Human Race. Perhaps you should better frame your generalities in a broader historical context.

Their frail deeds might have dances in the green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The words of Ragnar as he was being killed by snakes in the snake pit. What if one has to die in battle in order to find God?
Ragnar Lodbrok´s Death Song
We struck with our swords!
Why should a warrior cower
before the ranks, when braving
the blizzard of spearpoints?
He who mourns his demise has
never fed meat often
to eagles in the edge-game.
It’s hard to urge on weaklings;
no coward takes courage
from his craven heart.
We struck with our swords!
I say it’s right for a lad
to dare to dash at foemen
as they draw swords together.
Let thane not shrink from thane—
that long was the warriors’ way;
maids’ darlings should be dauntless
in the din of swords, always.
We struck with our swords!
It seems to me an ordeal
that our fates we must follow;
few escape the Norns’ craft.
I didn’t imagine Aelle
as the end of my life,
when I fed blood-falcons
and forced keels through the water;
we gave wolves worthy payment
widely, in Scotland’s bays.
We struck with our swords!
My soul is glad, for I know
that Balder’s father’s benches
for a banquet are made ready.
We’ll toss back toasts of ale
from bent trees of the skulls;
no warrior bewails his death
in the wondrous house of Fjolnir.
Not one word of weakness
will I speak in Vidrir’s hall.
We struck with our swords!
The sons of Aslaug all would
rouse the wrath of Hild here
with their ruthless sword-blades,
if they fathomed fully
how far I have traveled,
how so many serpents
stab me with their poison.
My sons’ hearts will help them:
they have their mother’s lineage.
We struck with our swords!
Soon my life will have passed;
Goinn scars me sorely,
settles in my heart’s hall;
I wish the wand of Vidrir
would wound Aelle, one day.
My sons must feel great fury
that their father is put to death;
my daring swains won’t suffer
in silence when they hear this.
We struck with our swords!
I have stood in the ranks
at fifty-one folk-battles,
foremost of the lance-meet.
Never did I dream that
a different king could ever
be found, braver than me—
I bloodied spears when young.
Aesir will ask us to feast;
no anguish for my death.
I desire my death now.
The disir call me home,
whom Herjan hastens onward
from his hall, to take me.
On the high bench, boldly,
I’ll drink beer with the Aesir;
hope of life is lost now,
laughing shall I die!

Vikings ain’t what they used to be, Vlad.
Bombs going off, cars on fire and grenades tossed at police officers a regular feature in Malmo, Sweden; Muzzies running amok. Where are the Swedish men, latter day Vikings?
In Berlin yesterday a young Swedish girl visiting Germany pushed under a train and killed by ‘Refugee’ in the country only 1 day. No big deal! Media in NEurope doing their best to cover it up, like the NYTimes and the disabled white kid tormented by 4 Negroes in Chicago … the media in Europe and the lying POS media in the USA being one and the same.

I’m sure you’ve read “You Die Alone”. Even I admire a man like that, even though fighting on the wrong side, against the leadership of true Patriots like Vidkun Quisling. What an adventure, lying in his snow tomb, lining up his fingers on the ledge as they fell off. What a Man.
Your side won and turned boys over to Women who want to make them into women with penises. Without true Men to stop it, they succeed.

It’s always fun to read about groups preferred by the vile lefties having a go at each other…..like the four afros torturing the disabled white (tough call but disability trumps afro), afros pillaging a korean liquor store, female raped by illegal, a muzzie shooting up a gay bar, etc. Out this way some Makah indians sobered up long enough to reestablish their tribal hunting tradition by killing a grey whale…..from a tribal canoe with a harpoon? Hell, no…..they mounted a 50 caliber single shot to the bow of a Bayliner, grabbed a couple cases of Ice House, and set out to sea amid the cheering of 300 pound womenfolk in tavern jackets waving hankies. Being indians, they fucked it up of course and only wounded the victim whale, which swam out to sea tracked by the Coast Guard. 24 hours later the critter succumbed and went under for the last time. Over in vile commie Seattle, the loathsome lefties could never figure out who to support…..the oppressed drunk indigenous murderers or the hapless victim whale eating plankton while minding its own business. The repulsive lefties never did figure out which side to take.
TRUMP HAS SO FAR BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE HIS BUSINESS CONFLICTS… SO ELIZABETH WARREN WILL DO IT FOR HIM
Trump thinks he can get away with anything. He said so himself when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. But the supposedly brilliant businessman has been unable to resolve his conflicts of interest, and that could lead to his impeachment. Trump is headed straight into the buzzsaw of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause.
Congressional Democrats led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced legislation on Monday that would require President-elect Donald Trump to divest his business holdings in order to avoid conflicts of interest while serving in the White House.
The President Conflict of Interest Act would require the president and vice president, their spouses and any minor or dependent children to divest all personal financial holdings that could create a conflict of interest, and to place the resulting assets into a blind trust governed by an independent trustee.
The bill would also formally implement the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which bans government officials from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments, by declaring the violation of financial conflict-of-interest laws and provisions by the president to be considered a high crime or misdemeanor punishable by impeachment.
Trump is set to enter office with an unprecedented array of financial conflicts of interest related to his multibillion-dollar Trump Organization. He has failed to specify how he will separate himself from the business that bears his name in order to avoid conflicts of interest. Instead, he and his aides have simply declared that “the president can’t have a conflict of interest,” an assertion that is not true.
After stating during his presidential campaign that he would have nothing to do with his business if elected, Trump has met with his foreign business partners, touted them to foreign leaders and appointed his adult children to the executive committee of his presidential transition despite plans for them to assume control of the Trump Organization. His hotel in Washington, D.C., pitched foreign governments on booking hotel rooms to curry favor with the Trump administration.
In December, Trump postponed a press conference where he was supposedly going to announce plans for resolving his conflicts of interest. A new press conference was announced for Jan. 11, but it has not been billed as an announcement of any plans to disentangle himself from his business.
“The American people deserve to know that the President of the United States is working to do what’s best for the country… not using his office to do what’s best for himself and his businesses,” Warren said in a statement. “The only way for President-elect Trump to truly eliminate conflicts-of-interest is to divest his financial interests by placing them in a blind trust. This has been the standard for previous presidents, and our bill makes clear the continuing expectation that President-elect Trump do the same.”
Is she still a Cherokee, do you know? Did I need that comma?
Interesting. For 240 years, there was no need for legislation enforcing the emoluments clause, because no president would have dared risk even the appearance of violating it. Then the billionaire TV star showed up. For sheer egomania, there isn’t a pampered prima donna in all of Hollywood who can touch this guy.
And the Obama Presidency was the most transparent in American History, right L Ron?
The most transparently opaque, rather.
Irrelevant as a criticism of me, since I’m not an Obama supporter as you imply. If I were a U.S. voter, I would have voted for Jill Stein if I were in a safe state. Otherwise I would have voted strategically for the candidate most likely to defeat Trump.
In the 2000 election I would have cast an enthusiastic vote for Nader. If anyone afterwards told me I helped elect G.W. Bush as a result, I would have spat in their eye with equal enthusiasm.
Another way of putting that is, blame for a broken electoral system shouldn’t be cast on the voters; the system should be fixed. Trump, with his cabinet of fellow billionaires, is the best argument yet for fixing a system that pointedly rejects many millions of people from representation.
I have a feeling that if a guy like you spat in anyone’s eye… you’d be dizzily picking up your teeth.
“… a system that pointedly rejects many millions of people from representation.”
The larger the system gets the more millions will be unrepresented. It is natural, in such a case, to split the system into smaller pieces, usually two, just like a cell dividing. Get on the side you want to be on when the signs of a split present themselves, and hold your position.
K-Dog said: People in America are getting quite tired of having their chains yanked and the deceptions are not working out as planned.
On the one hand, K-Dog, up above in the comments, you talk about the Deep State’s meddling in the commentary at Moon of Alabama blog with the intent of making you suspicious of that blog, and many other blogs, to the point of pretending to be Russian Cyber Trolls in a form of byzantine double-reverse psychology, and then you make this statement in the same breath. Do you not see the contradiction? If they are going to the absurd lengths you claim they’re going to at Moon of Alabama blog, then surely your Awakening is not an Awakening at all. You’ve awakened, but into yet another Dream — one they’ve crafted for the few who slip out of the “other” Dream. Remember, the creative force behind Westworld is the creative force behind Inception and there is significant overlap. Dreams within Dreams within Dreams and on and on it goes with no end. It becomes impossible to discern what is a Dream and what isn’t.
One of the reasons I no longer allow commentary at my blog is to neutralize Deep State actors from controlling the bounds of the discussion and the dialogue in an attempt to undermine my Evocations. My blog is not popular and by virtue of that, you know I am not with the Deep State. The Deep State determines what is popular or not. Even if you’re unwitting, if your blog is popular it is because the Deep State has allowed it and helped encourage it, meaning it serves the Deep State’s purposes. That Blacklist is designed to make those websites more enticing to those who are stirring (not yet awake) with the intent of awakening them into yet another Dream.

Ok
Is the NSA a hulking security apparatus, or a control apparatus? Is it a question of semantics, or motives? Security of control perhaps?
Often the binary distinctions we make in our minds have no basis in reality. Why does it have to be one or the other? Officially it is a security apparatus and I suspect most of the time that is true.
But if they want to fuck with you they can be very creative.
Sure, it’s cute, and why not let the “binary bias” zeitgeist bleed on in from last week? Can’t get enough of it, really. Without night there is no day. Without pain there is no joy. In a universe of contrasts, let us all remember that they need not exist …ommmmmmmmm….
The NSA was never about security, its ostensible function. It is about control and hegemony. Information hegemony. They gather information, for control, and what is security but the execution of control.
“Without night there is no day. Without pain there is no joy.”
That borders on insulting, not that I care. Night and Day are genuine distinctions as is the contrast between pain and joy.
Binary distinctions exist if they accurately describe reality. If they do not accurately describe reality they exist; but only in the legends and neural synapses of an errant mind.
Without public oversight the NSA is control but with accountability national security might possibly be the role. As there is now no accountability and with the power and the ability to operate as a free agent control inevitably becomes their mandate for as Lord Acton said:
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Chauvinism is the end result of a blind faith in believing that what one thinks is right.
Q: What is security but the execution of control?
A: Knowledge
It is not about an amorphous ommmmmmmmm… It is about clarity and appreciating that an unexamined life is mediocre and prone to mistake.
I was not here last week.

There is nothing subtle about, quite literally, eating shit. Are you also, like your friend McAfee, a Coprophiliac? If I say to you, “eat shit,” will you say in return, “don’t mind if I do?” What does Dugin think of McAfee’s perversion since Dugin is allergic to perversions like Jim is allergic to conspiracy theories? Does Coprophilia get grandfathered in as an acceptable perversion in the effort to destroy “Amerikkka?”

Things to do in Denver, when you’re Dead.
One time I noticed my dog was eating his own shit a lot. I found a dog group online and asked about it. Evidently, I didn’t follow Aol Dog Group protocol and introduce myself. Everyone ignored me and when I kept asking, started making snide remarks about how “some posters” were very strange. I persisted. Finally one woman answered me saying that it was very common and “even clean dogs did it” – reassuring me that my dog was still a good dog even if I wasn’t a good person. Thus answered, I ghosted the site – never to return. Btw, I will not be exorcised from here nearly so easily. Only prayer and fasting will avail, and there’s precious little of that.
Pope Francis talks about it a lot and may be into it – or at least it fascinates him. I talked to an Indian Medicine Man about my dog and he said they do it to get vitamins if their diet is deficient.
You know I assume, that even if John does eat his own shit, it doesn’t mean he’s wrong about Russian Hacking? To believe otherwise would be the logical fallacy of the Ad Hominem.
Great Patriot Dugin wants to submerge the Russian People into the Brown and Yellow hordes of Southern and Central Asia. He is the very definition of Cicero’s “the enemy within”. Finc loves him – so ditto.
You made a comment that eats shit. How funny is that!
Frankiti, one prodigious form of Social Control in America is the Corporation. Every Corporation, without fail, is a simulacrum of the Tyrannical Blueprint Control Paradigm. Applying the Pareto Principle to Corporations, each one could be reduced in size by at least 80% and still run efficiently & effectively, and, in fact, more so. The reason Corporations don’t do this is for purposes of Social Control — the same reason mind-annihilating schooling is mandatory.

Losing to Trump was an astonishing accomplishment for Hillary. She had everything going for her. It’s clear the Democratic Party hasn’t learned any of the striking lessons from this defeat (such as never, ever, ever insult ANY of the folks who vote – even if you hate them). I wonder if they will learn anything over the next four years. People vote their wallet, Trump is taking on a government $40 trillion in the hole – there is a high chance the economy will tank in the next four years (which will be blamed on Trump no matter what he does), there likely will be quite the opportunity for the Dems in 2020 – but only if they can learn from 2016.
The Democrat Party will double down on the politics that they know, love and practice:
– Identity
– War
– Race
– Immigration (unlimited legal and illegal)
– Free-Shit Army support
– Spending spending spending
– and a host of other platforms and practices that have put the nation on the precipice of race-war and bankruptcy. (Note: the Republican party has its own Augean Stable of awfulness – see preznitcy of George “W.” Bush for particulars.)
When persons like Chuck Schumer, Keith Ellison, Huma Abedin and John “Spirit Cooking” Podesta are leaders and in-charge of the front office of an organization, then one need not look much further to know what the organization stands for and what their future plans are.
New U.S. Army Regulations Will Allow Turbans, Hijabs And Beards
Servicemen and women at the brigade level will now be granted religious accommodations.
“Just days into the new year, the U.S. Army has already handed a major victory to religious liberty advocates.
“New Army regulations released on Tuesday state that servicemen and women at the brigade level will now be granted religious accommodations to wear turbans, beards, and hijabs in accordance with their faith. The move comes just days after the New York Police Department announced its decision to allow officers to wear turbans and grow beards for religious reasons.
“Such accommodations for Army service members were previously made on a case-by-case basis.”

Just another 10 days, just another 10 days…………adios Mutherfucker!
Giving religious freedom to soldiers who are told they are fighting for freedom. I love Obama’s respect for the military and his understanding of the American values the uniform is supposed to represent.
It’s 2016, and humanity is still giving dispensations to the greatest affliction known to man; religion.

Cold,
Of course you’re right, anyone that’s worked in a large corporation knows tyranny. You see it up close each and every day, both at home and at work.
Freedom of speech? Nope. Freedom of information? Not a bit. Freedom of association? Nada. Transparency? Fuggedaboudit.
At work the employee is closely monitored and not just for performance. They are expected to maintain an air of quiet optimism and unbending belief no matter the circumstance. Malcontents and doubters are quickly identified and rousted. Even the private life of the employee is subject to scrutiny.
Political or social activism? Yes, yes, such things are encouraged I was told, BUT “with discretion”. So, reading between the lines and closely observing the pauses, the message was this: the wise employee, if he wants to remain employed, stays out of public view and shuts up.
In the corporate world contradiction and illogic are the order of the day so the Orwellian double-jointed mind is the workaday necessity. How else does one accommodate blatant lies? See, what the CEO and his cronies want is North Korean style obeisance – adoring, cheering, clapping employee multitudes at every utterance of the Great CEO Leader no matter the absurdity.
A while back, at a former employer, they cut our benefits. And Human Resources, masters at double-think, was tasked with the announcement. So, predictably, they told us we have something to celebrate, an improvement, an increase to the chocolate ration so to speak. You see, now we have “choice” to allow for differing employee preferences.
Well, yes, there was “choice”, but to the secretly independent mind, a choice between worse alternatives. And we were expected to get out the pom-poms. A mundane example maybe, surely one example among multitudes, but one that illustrates drip-drip-drip corrosion and diminishment.
And Libertarians refuse to see these entities as threats to our Freedom. But they are part and parcel of our Plutocratic State. Some of these guys jump from public to private to academia as if they’re playing hopscotch. All aspects of the Corporate State.
One thing you can say about these Generals Trump has nominated … they sure like giving each other awards. Every goddam week — Bars, stars, purple heats, distinguished this distinguished that… chests full of medals. Everybody gets an award, like in Elementary School.

Stephanopoulos: Obama Interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujmRloZPtyw
Translating into English from Obama’s diplomatic:
Putin’s intervention was made possible because the mainstream media is so self-discredited with pro-Clinton lies that Americans today believe Assange and RT and not them.
And Americans generally consider their main enemy Hillary and those who sponsor her, not Russia. And to change this situation, the first thing the Democrats should do is to remember that Trump is as much American as they are and stop blaming him for being a Russian spy on the sole ground that he beat Hillary Clinton.
Stephanopoulos, the son of an Orthodox Archbishop, who, realizing what he had done by helping Bastinda to get into the White House in 1992, resigned from his post with the scandal as President Clinton’s press secretary, and wound up in the nuthouse after trying to kill himself.
And Obama in this interview constantly reminds him: “after all, you yourself went through it, so you know what I had to go through here in the White House.”
“And Americans generally consider their main enemy Hillary…” –finca
Hey, finca, did you hear there was an election last year? Hillary lost.
Americans generally don’t think about Hillary anymore. She is not an enemy. She is not a friend. She’s gone. When are you going to stop beating a dead horse?

The Don Cossack drove out the last of the Mongols helping to give birth to the Russian Nation. Dugin and his followers want to reverse this and subsume the Russian people into the Mongolian swarm. It’s evil. No other word applies.
Who were the Cossacks? Freedom loving men. Serfs who fled their bondage to live as free men in the wilderness. Starting to see the parallel between them and the American Pioneers? And when they saw oppression, they acted – as when they rode into the Ukraine to help the Orthodox peasants being oppressed the Catholic Poles and their Jewish bully boys.
Thats all fine and well; but at the end of the day,
the penis mightier than the sword.
If you consent to a full castration, you may be able to get a job in Saudi Arabia as a harem guard. Black Eunuchs are traditionally used for this important job. Is this fair for Whites?

Not true. White Men are on the bottom. We the niggers now. We have that charism, not you. You the pampered pets/thugs of the Deep State. Soros Orcs! Did you see footage from outside the Chicago Trump rally that had to be cancelled? Full blooded Uruk Hai fighting Orcs. Hard core gang muscle.
But no matter: the Submerged Supermen will deal with all this in good time – in the next Civilization, America 2.0 or something completely different. We shall not wholly die but in fact will make an incredible resurrection.
This week’s missive from Jim was brilliant because it exposes a fundamental truth i.e., that Deep State IS the government. We can only hope that Mr. Trump, upon seeing the many layers of manufactured “crises” that come up from the bowels of the intel apparatus, will clean house. Of course, the big danger is that he’s subsumed by Deep State and merely carries on a tradition in place since the Reagan Presidency.
Say a prayer that the inimitable Mr. Trump blows up Deep State because if he doesn’t we’re in Deep Shit.
Welcome to the middle James, good to have you here. The R’s & D’s have finally made it apparent that they are all in it together for their own enrichment at the expense of those who actually do the work and create the value. Normally this is not a big deal as long as the peons are allowed to share in the rewards to at least some meager extent. Now that the scum at the top require ALL of the value for themselves, they have decided to band together and no longer fight one another for the spoils that we provide. It is bad now and it will only get worse, much worse, and quickly I would think.
My various social political, and professional connections bring me into contact with some VERY interesting and some very well placed individuals. This affords me much extremely interesting conversations, though when you converse with real people of this sort, you don’t really get many details and absolutely NO inside information. They are professionals and they STFU with great gusto. Occasionally, however I get lucky. On New Year’s evening I had the great joy and pleasure of meeting my first actual Spook. I did not find out much about this fellow buy what I did hear from him was this:
-He possesses a special set of skills (he began his career in law enforcement) and works with the FBI and Federal Prosecutors rooting out corruption in government leading to prosecution of corrupt officials (like Chris Christie used to do).
-If there are 10 levels of government, 9 of them are corrupt in every way possible at huge expense to the American public.
-These people are not allowed to go after many of the targets they pick but are directed to pursue cases against who they are told to go after.
–The American public are pretty much a bunch of simpletons who don’t know shit, don’t really care anyway, and wouldn’t believe half of what is actually going on behind the scenes were they to be told outright.
As little as that all says for six hours of personal conversation, I walked away feeling not only fortunate to have had the opportunity to listen, but in the end to realize that we who speculate in places like this are not the fools after all. We are the few and I am very ok with that.
Deep State you say? FuckinAyoubetcha!
FBI chief given dossier by John McCain alleging secret Trump-Russia contacts
– Russian intelligence alleged to have compromising material on Trump
– Unverified reports were drawn up by western ex-counter-intelligence official
“Senator John McCain passed documents to the FBI director, James Comey, last month alleging secret contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow and that Russian intelligence had personally compromising material on the president-elect himself.
“The material, which has been seen by the Guardian, is a series of reports on Trump’s relationship with Moscow. They were drawn up by a former western counter-intelligence official, now working as a private consultant.
“The Guardian has not been able to confirm the veracity of the documents’ contents, and the Trump team has consistently denied any hidden contacts with the Russian government.
…
“Some of the reports – which are dated from 20 June to 20 October last year – also proved to be prescient, predicting events that happened after they were sent.
“One report, dated June 2016, claims that the Kremlin has been cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for at least five years, with the aim of encouraging ‘splits and divisions in western alliance’.
…
“Most explosively, the report alleges: ‘FSB has compromised Trump through his activities in Moscow sufficiently to be able to blackmail him.’ The president-elect has not responded to the allegations.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/10/fbi-chief-given-dossier-by-john-mccain-alleging-secret-trump-russia-contacts
Wowee. But if there’s one place I look to for sober opinion and grounded analysis of allegations like this, it’s CFN. So who’s got an opening bid? For myself, all I can say is this crisis of legitimacy just keeps getting crisis-ier. Pass the popcorn.
Maybe another pussy grab or buttocks squeeze? Did he ever go to Orgy Island like Bill? Or be a member of a coven like Hillary? Or consort with Bilderbergers while holding office – a clear violation of her oath of office.
When is the porno of Obama and Justin coming out?
You’re wasting your breath, Elrond. Everybody knows that the intelligence services of ALL players conduct active operations against their geopolitical competitors and even “partners” – Angela Merkel’s phone tap, anybody?
If anything, American “intelligence” and counter-intelligence agencies are signing off in their total incompetence.
As far as FBI is concerned, we better hear some details about how the connections of the FBI director Comey (he is a former (?) Vice President of Lockheed Martin), affected his decision to suddenly “reopen” the Clinton’s investigation, but when it threatened taking Clinton off the race and replacing her with Biden – who is NOT Lockheed Martin man, he reversed it in a week.
Why is it a waste of breath? Here we see Trump’s presidency already tangled in a web of suspicion and he’s not even in office yet. The allegation alone is likely to dog Trump for as long as he’s in office, or indeed for the rest of his life.
These things don’t need even the faintest whiff of truth to have a profound effect on a presidency. Trump’s own birtherism against Obama demonstrates very clearly that completely unfalsifiable, and hence worthless, accusations are a powerful weapon against a political figure. Now he gets to experience it for himself, and unlike the conspiracy theory about Obama there might actually be something to this. You said it yourself, all the intelligence services do it.
WTF do you care?
You don’t even live here. Worry about Canada, which itself, under your boy king, is importing enough 3rd worlders and Muslims to turn large parts of it into another dystopic shithole … worry about that, not us.

As for Canada turning into a dystopic shithole, well, the future hasn’t happened yet so we’ll see. But multiculturalism was invented here and so far this has been the one place where it actually works. Meanwhile your government is visibly imploding while the whole world watches slack-jawed with amazement, so isn’t the pot calling the kettle black a little bit?

Your little Jill Stein mouse wants in on the big time obviously.
Official Washington’s approach to the illegal drug business is not only inconsistent but also very selective. In the Enforcement Act of November 2011, which imposed sanctions against any person found engaged in contacts with organized crime, out of four well-known Italian criminal groups appeared only two; of the Mexican drug cartels also only two were selected.
Even more interesting was a raid on New York Italian family clans in January 2011, a week before the start of the Arab Spring: under attack were all big families, except Bonanno family, whose representative testified against the competitors.
Meanwhile Bonanno family is specialized in transit through Tunisia, which was the first in the calendar of the Arab Spring. The selective tactics has been applied in Israel, where from the pitch of Californian prosecutors started investigation of a series of assassinations committed by members and partners of the Abardzhil family – a major supplier of the ‘ecstasy’ to the United States.
Some “kings” are removed from the playing field for the benefit of others.
The tireless Washington’s concern addresses Africa as well. For several years, authorities stubbornly and unsuccessfully fought the Somali pirates, the “Lord’s Resistance Army” in Kenya, the “Al-Shabaab “, with the criminals in the Republic of Congo from the pitch of the Government of Rwanda.
With the difference that in Africa, a selective approach is concerned not only drug trafficking, but also certain types of mineral extraction. And not so much the infamous “blood diamonds” as columbite-tantalite mineral (coltan) – an indispensable raw material in the manufacture of the mobile phones.
One of the main conditions for the success of surrogate color revolutions is cheap means of communication. This low cost is paid for by the slave labor in the mines in eastern DRC (formerly Zaire) and Ethiopia. The immediate support for the Ethiopian brute dictatorship, guaranteeing this cheapness of the iPhones, was provided by the “sparkling” Samantha Power, now US ambassador to the UN.
So when Bernard-Henri Levy denounced the Russian “propaganda” that the refugee problem was created by the United States, saying that they are running not only from Syria but also from Ethiopia, where Americans didn’t do any revolution – he had caught himself in a lie. He should’ve known that the conditions for the slave labor are most effectively created by ferocious colonial dictatorships.

You tube—Face of a Dying Nation Channel—-African Migrants Drown after Mistaking Tunisian Fishing Ship for Coast Guard and Sinking own Boats
This amateur footage, taken by a Tunisian crewman of a fishing ship, shows the disastrous consequences of the EU’s open border policy that permits and encourages the continued scam of illegal Africans.
There’s no love lost between Black Africans and the Caucasians of North Africa. They have fought for control over North Africa for ages. Thus the Tunisians were able to watch them drown with equanimity if not pleasure. What else would, could, or should they do?
Whites have to regain this natural state of implacable primal equanimity – or we are history. Elrond’s ethic of social gospel Christianity is saccharine – sweet death for all who partake. A social carcinogen.
Reminds me of the scene in Camp of Saints when a Greek sea captain repels drowning 3rd world migrants trying to board his ship.
Camp of Saints … was there ever a more prescient novel written in the past 500 years, down to the last detail? ‘specially the way the reaction of WEurope is portrayed.
Do you think ‘Camp of Saints’ is on Snowflakes reading list at your local LBGQ University?

Polite applause at Obama’s Acceptance Speech? when he mentioned trying to understand White guys who have jobs “and seem to have everything”?. Thunderous applause at the mention of Whites needing to understand minorities and the browning of America.
Elrond and his wife/husband and Justin and his wife/husband wept tears of sadness and hope: maybe he won’t go. Maybe Trump will be stopped by the forces of the Deep State.
Acceptance Speech? Acceptance of what?
Justin who? Timberlake?
Jim condemned your newspaper, the N.Y Slimes. Are you not going to make any effort to defend it? Or do you accept the condemnation of your paper, and by extension, of you as a reader?
In the farewell speech, did he mention the handicapped white kid tortured by 4 negroes? It happened just a mile or two from where he was at. ( I know Ken never end a sentence with a preposition)
Or was that left out? I don’t know, I didn’t watch it.
brh
He did not! He did say we should try to get inside the other guy’s skin to see how he feels. Perhaps the Black who cut his scalp was trying to do that? But it was a modest effort compared to what is possible:
‘In Tahiti,’ notes Prof. Keeley, ‘a victorious warrior, given the opportunity, would pound his vanquished foe’s corpse flat with his heavy war club, cut a slit through the well-crushed victim, and don him as a trophy poncho.’
Aztecs used to do the same thing. Mexican and Central American gangs are reviving some of these charming customs.
https://www.amren.com/news/2017/01/war-before-civilization-lawrence-keely-noble-savages-review/
the handicapped white kid tortured by 4 negroes made $100,000 on the gofundme website (and counting) for his family.
To recapitulate:
Negroes go to jail
Family gets paid…
So what is the problem here?
Thanks to them ni66ers, the retard is probably finally getting the care he needed and deserved?
Dylann Roof sentenced to death for Emanuel AME Church massacre
“Just a few hours after he told a crowded courtroom, ‘I still feel like I had to do it,’ Dylann Roof was sentenced to death by a federal jury Tuesday for carrying out the mass shooting inside Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church in a bid to spark a race war.
“The 12-member panel – three black jurors, nine white – deliberated for a little less than three hours before unanimously deciding the 22-year-old self-avowed white supremacist should die for his crimes rather than spend his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
“U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel has scheduled a hearing for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday to formally impose that sentence and hear from loved ones who wish to address the killer.”
http://www.postandcourier.com/church_shooting/jury-sentences-dylann-roof-to-death-for-emanuel-ame-church/article_3c24cc44-d729-11e6-9e5d-2f037e89bddc.html
The wrong move, I’m afraid, with all sympathy to the victims and their families. Dylann Roof will now be a martyr to that minuscule, depraved group of people who view his ninefold crime with anything but horror and condemnation. We would do better to give him a long interval in which to contemplate his sins. Better for him to die forgotten after a lifetime staring at bare walls.
Ask not for whom the Toscin tolls, it tolls for thee. When the Blacks pogromed the Whites of Haiti, they didn’t ask which where the bad ones and which where the good. They killed all they could catch, Elrond. All, Elrond. ALL were Punish-ed.
The lesson I take from that is: don’t enslave people. That way, one’s chances of them rising up to end their slavery is greatly improved.
Memo to Confederate States of America:
Next time pick your own cotton.
Word, yo.
The take away is the savagery of Blacks. And so when you free your Black Slaves, send them far away, beyond the Continent if not the Ocean.
You people want to put them everywhere, in every White town and village. You are more evil than they are because you are more intelligent and thus more culpable. And you want them to assault, torment, and murder your Conservative foes – and that’s every White Man, Woman, and Child who doesn’t agree with your Agenda.
But don’t forget Janos, without black people, white people (such as yourself) could not be white?
and when white people can’t be white, they fight, harm and abuse each other instead of ni66as (I know my European history)
So, we actually did y’all a big favor by being here and functioning as a permanent ‘red headed step child” class.

“multiculturalism was invented here and so far this has been the one place where it actually works.” –elrond
elrond, Canada is not the only place it works. Multi-culturalism thrives in many, many countries with strong economies. Proof that diversity is strength.
For example, India and the UK are both multi-cultural and they are in an economic race. According to Forbes (Dec. 16, 2016) India’s economy will be larger than the UK’s, for the first time in more than 100 years. This dramatic shift has been driven by India’s rapid economic growth over the past 25 years. India an example of a multicultural society… where people speak 122 major languages and 1599 other languages. Unity in diversity is the beauty of India… and the economic benefit means Indian is now surpassing the UK economically. The UK is also multicultural:
“One of the things people regularly tell me is that Bristol’s diversity is the thing they love most about our city. I agree with them, it is one of our greatest strengths. We are a city of at least 180 countries, over 90 languages and 45 religions. One in five of us and one in three school children are from a Black and Minority Ethnic community. And the different parts of Bristol, from Hartcliffe to Avonmouth to Cotham, have their own distinct feel. This cultural and social mix has many benefits to the local economy.”

From an older article Janet/ccc This is what yer’ multiculturalism gets ya. I am sure the problem is worse today. Perhaps you want to “PARTY” with them?
Five hundred miles away in Bristol, a group of schoolgirls tell me about “FGM parties”.
“They cut them all together, as a group, because it is cheaper and quicker that way,” explains 17-year-old Amina.
“At first the girls are all excited because it’s a party, until they realize what is going to happen, and then they get frightened.
“It’s done by the elder women, or the Imam, whoever is expert at cutting.”

Boys get circumcised all the time and no one raised a big stink about it?
I know cause Im one of em.
Where is my pity party?
Where is my outrage festival?
Tell them girls to man the f*ck up and get over it…
I did, why can’t they?
Did they cut the head of your penis off – because that’s what female circumcision is, genius: taking the clitoris off.
And if four Whites kidnapped and tortured a Black kid, it would be front page news internationally for weeks and months. They’re still talking about that punk Emmitt Till and it’s been a hundred years.
Non white people invented circumcision for a reason; and I strongly suspect that reason was compensatory. White people (such as yourself) are NOT qualified to decide if the practice is correct or incorrect.
In addition, because you are a racist white supremacist, I can’t trust any suggestion you make?
Don’t forget, you white people are also pushing faggotry, pornography and feminism all over the planet too.
No thanks Casper.
Considering the Brexit vote, I think the picture of multiculturalism in the UK is less rosy than the one you paint, janet. The real underlying issue there is economics, with British-born workers seeing their prospects stagnate or decline over decades, but it expresses itself in ethnic tensions and nationalism. That’s the way the crooked timber, uh, crooks, I guess.
And you brought the aliens in – and kept bringing them in despite double digit unemployment? Your kid – the crookedest crooks of them all. You feel closer to Muslim aliens than you do your own underclass. So much for your Marxism!
“the stereotypes about immigrants today were said, almost word for word, about the Irish, Italians, and Poles. America wasn’t weakened by the presence of these newcomers; they embraced this nation’s creed, and it was strengthened.
So regardless of the station we occupy; we have to try harder; to start with the premise that each of our fellow citizens loves this country just as much as we do; that they value hard work and family like we do; that their children are just as curious and hopeful and worthy of love as our own.” –Obama’s Final Speech, Jan. 10, 2017
Janet,
The Irish, Italians and Poles…assimilated, they made that choice. Blacks? Their culture demands otherwise. We would like nothing more than for them to get with the program, drop the veil of victimhood, educate themselves, and become as productive as their gifts would allow. We are in agreement with this wish…yes?
The intelligence community was confident enough about the information in the memos to brief Obama and Trump on them. Both Obama and Trump were briefed and informed that the Russians have information about Trump that can be used to blackmail Trump.
It turns out Trump went to Russia with an unsecured telephone, used unsecured internet, and did not behave himself well in Russia. Maybe he grabbed more than just pussy? We are now going to pay for Trump’s immorality, for Trump’s weakness, narcissism, and lack of ethics. We are going to pay for Trump having zero experience in government service and zero experience in diplomacy. Putin now has Trump by the short hairs.
Because Russian spies have compromising personal and financial information about Trump, we have a constitutional crisis and Trump should admit that he is compromised. If Trump denies it and continues to praise Russia, then after Jan. 20 we will have a traitor in the White House, one who claims to be Commander in Chief of the U.S. armed forces, but who can be blackmailed and will operate as Putin’s puppet.
Far as I know, grabbing a woman by her genitals without her consent is sexual assault, in both Russia and the United States.
Asked at his confirmation hearing about a 2005 video in which Donald Trump bragged about using his fame to force himself on women, Sen. Jeff Sessions said he believes grabbing a woman by her genitalia is sexual assault.
Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont asked Sessions, the president-elect’s pick for attorney general, about some conflicting statements Sessions made on the campaign trail after the video was released.
In the video, Trump says, “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
Leahy asked Sessions at Tuesday’s hearing: “Is grabbing a woman by her genitals without her consent sexual assault?”
Sessions answered: “Clearly it is.”
Ive been thru quite a few different women, and Im here to tell you that
sometimes,
SOMETIMES,
“no” means “yes”
and
“yes”
means
anal, choking, spanking…
*just sayin*
Trump enjoyed watching prostitutes perform “golden showers” in his fancy Moscow hotel room.
Trump raped a child. The victim filed a lawsuit last year that Trump raped her years ago when she was a 13-year-old model.
Trump raped his first wife, Ivana. She once accused him of holding her, pulling her hair and raping her in a fit of rage during their marriage. The incident was detailed in the 1993 book, “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.”
Trump tried to catch young beauty pageant contestants undressed. Various women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Trump had a habit of entering the dressing room while contestants as young as 15 were not fully clothed.
Trump likes to grab women by the genitals. Trump has said women will let men do anything to them if they are famous. “Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything,” he said.
Rape of a 13 year old, rape of an ex-wife, voyeurism, prostitution, golden showers, and sexual assault by grabbing pussies… these are not all of Trump’s sexual and criminal perversions. Russian operatives have additional compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, CNN reported Tuesday.

I don’t think Roof has the capacity to contemplate anything. This guy has an IQ no greater than 80. In fact, 80 is pushing it. What Roof did is horrible, heinous and tragic. But it’s not nearly as heinous and despicable as some of the things Bill Clinton did as President and all Presidents do as a matter of course. Let’s face it, additional tragedy is heaped upon the tragedy Roof perpetrated by turning Roof and the horrific crime he perpetrated into a Political Football in order to score points in a Game that has no winners, only losers.

This b character, b being short for Bernhard apparently, is allegedly a German Communist from Hamburg and yet he’s using not just English, but specific English jargon in his translation. In my study of that blog, I find contradictions like this all the time. So, K-Dog, who or what is really behind that blog? Is it just an aging German Communist Judo Champion residing in Hamburg, or is it something more than that? This b, as well, often uses the term “we” rather than “I.” I think it’s an unconscious mistake, but it underscores that Moon of Alabama blog is not a single proprietor, but instead a team. Hmmmmmm….
And K-Dog, I have a message for you to relate to The Colonel. I have a date marked on my calendar. It’s an open date, meaning it’s predicated upon another naturally occurring event, the timing of which I can’t be sure. When The Colonel passes away, not too long thereafter, I will be making a pilgrimage to his gravesite to spit and piss on the Scumbag’s grave. I never forget. Ever. The Colonel, if his faith is to be believed, subscribes to the notion of heaven and hell. As such, may he burn with furious, unrelenting pain in the fires of the hell he believes in for all eternity. You hear that Colonel — you fucking hypocritical, cowardly, repugnant excrement? I’ll dance with you any day, Scumbag, but without your medication and your guns and your special ops goons. Just you and me and our psyches laid bare. I guarantee you I’ll win that battle — a battle you would never engage in because you can’t cheat like the cowardly fuck you are.
What are we talking about here, the KFC Colonel?
It’s beyond your purview. Above your pay grade. So yeah, for you, it’s the KFC Colonel.
Cold Hole, would it not be better to spit on the graves of those who employed him? I suggest you determine that you will live long enough to do it!
Q, no relation to finger lickin good. Cold was referring to the Colonel I mention in the Standing Rock article I wrote which is currently on my website. I will disagree and say it is not beyond your purview or your pay grade to read it.
Regarding the MoA article I think the best quote is:
The current publication of this full barrel of bullshit
I like that phrase.
Regarding the Trump sex tape hooey in Moscow hotel rooms and any of the other contents of the full barrel of bullshit. There is nothing new about our government putting out lies to confuse and mislead people. One could say fake news and lies are our national security agencies weapons of mass destruction. The purpose of the current artificially generated ‘fake news’ meme is to suppress independent yellow journalism which tends to lie much of the time and promote mainstream and controlled journalism which never lies about inconsequential events at all so as to build an authoritarian respectable, and unassailable reputation from which they can deceive the public as the occasion demands.
Regarding the specific MoA article referenced by Cold I can’t tell what is real and what is fake. I’m a strange dog as I am quite comfortable not forming an opinion without evidence and as no evidence is presented in the MoA article one way or another I disregard the article altogether. I admit I am sympathetic to the article’s POV but I am put off by the level of detail which is presented without evidence to back it up.
For instance: “Neocon senator John McCain, friend of Ukrainian fascists and Trump enemy, passed (<-details) the "report" to the FBI and thereby made it into an official document."
It seems to me that was just pulled out of a monkey's ass. How would anybody know that? Only the deep state can tap phones an spy with the level of detail needed to find something like this out. And John McCain? I'd have preferred they had thrown in a Kardashian instead. That would be more entertaining.
We are now at a stage where we can't trust any of our media. Perception management and not the presentation of truth has become the acceptable way things are now done in the American empire. The purpose of which is to keep everybody confused and immobile so we continue to maintain a passive posture to the exercise of power by the small few who keep it to themselves.

Well BackRow, I don’t know about Raspail’s astonishing prophetic piece ever having been included in the collections of the libraries of Ha?va?d, Stanford, NYU, Oberlin or Mt Holyoke (kind of doubt it,) but I can bet certain volumes of Kipling, Conrad and Twain have been expunged and met the fate of biblioclasm or worse, to help validate persons-of-colour, Yzlamix, indeed all SJWs of every stripe and to also assuage the guilt of these vile, filthy dens of White Privilege and hate.

The Cotton Club
A striking movie that is more or less truthfully tells about the late 1920’s and early 1930’s in the United States, which is strongly reminiscent of the end of 1990th and beginning of the 2000’s in Russia and at the same time like a bottle of good port the film leaves a rather pleasant aftertaste.

It is hard to know what to make of the furor over fake news. I think we are all going to have to learn to read and think more critically to figure out what is true and what is fake. But I’m suspicious now that there are forces (neo-con and neo-liberal) who see their existence threatened and have conjured up this story that Trump is being blackmailed and/or is cooperating with the Russians as he takes office as President.
Will some variation of this story dog him for the next 4 years as the anti-Trump forces try to set him up for impeachment?
I don’t like the idea that a foreign government attempted to influence our elections, and I’m not a big fan of Donald Trump, but I’m inclined to believe that the globalists (American fascists who want America to lead the NWO) have had their cart upended and are trying to discredit Trump before he takes the oath of office.
Dumbedup: “Will some variation of this story dog him for the next 4 years as the anti-Trump forces try to set him up for impeachment?”
Oh yeah, that’s a done deal. This will follow Trump forever, regardless of impeachment. It is to Trump what birtherism was to Obama: impossible to address, because the truth or falsehood of it doesn’t matter to his opponents, only the stink.
Any way you slice it it’s very, very bad for America as a country that this has happened. But I can’t resist the sense of poetic justice that the birther-in-chief is reaping the very crop he sowed, in bad faith, with Obama.
Elrond, I hear you on the poetry of this Russia stuff at Trump, but it has key differences from birtherism, which (so I recall) got only lip-service coverage from major MSM outfits like the WaPo, and which could be laughed off by the world’s Nuke Powers. This time, the WaPo is leading the charge, despite a Nuke Power having a bunch of skin in this game.
I’ll guess that Fincaln is on the right track about the rifts within the Deep State about stuff like this. Hold on to your hats!
What to make of the furor? The furor is a contrivance. It is as fake as all this – cough – “fake news”. See, in the old days “fake news” was called lies and propaganda. Misinformation was the stock-in-trade of vested interests.
But these millennial snowflake know-nothings are convinced they’re onto something. And the bureaucratic bi-coastal clerisy who work for various aspects of the Deep State and its Oligarch overseers, encourage them in their unshakable self-belief.
But, in fact, they’re onto nothing, at least nothing new. “Fake news” is as old as sapiens, those of us of a certain age grew up immersed Cold War “fake news”, not only from the side of the West’s military-industrial complex but also from the other side. You remember, Pravda, Izvestia, disseminators of the most laughable bullshit.
Here we have various governmental statistical agencies to do the job, like the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Plus private sector lackeys like the New York Times. And let’s not forget the Fed. And academia, especially the economics profession. They are nothing if not distributors of “fake news”. Have been since Day One.
Some writers like our friend the Archdruid think that the ruling oligarchs aren’t a monolith, that the facade of unanimity on matters like globalization conceals deep differences. Well, that may be but I think that the agreements are more important than the differences.
They want a loose cannon like Trump out and they want a dependable puppet like Hillary in. Hence this absurd talk of “fake news” and Russian hacks of the election. So they keep up a steady stream of “fake news” of their own, they keep chiseling at the election result, they do what they can to de-legitimize it. Trump has to go and they won’t stop until he’s gone, one way or another.
Yes, it was a fraud which the Media picked up, could not authenticate, but couldn’t resist releasing anyway. Now they have even less credibility than they did yesterday. At least you care about the Truth – Elrond has been corrupted by the Ring of Power and cares nothing for it anymore. A purely political creature. A Gollum.
Actually, I think I’m more of a Tom Bombadil, the character so out of step with people’s expectations that they left him out of all six movies (even when they desperately needed material to pad out the Hobbit trilogy). Tom Bombadil, you’ll note, was immune to the One Ring precisely because he appreciated things for what they were and had no wish to impose his will on others. But that didn’t stop him from reproving Frodo for trying to use the Ring to play tricks.
On the subject of the truth, it wasn’t “the Media” with a capital M that published the unsubstantiated watersports reports; it was Buzzfeed. Other outlets had the same documents and didn’t publish them precisely because they couldn’t be independently verified. I already quoted this from The Guardian: “The Guardian has not been able to confirm the veracity of the documents’ contents, and the Trump team has consistently denied any hidden contacts with the Russian government.” It appears Buzzfeed forced the issue by deciding to publish the documents regardless of their unverifiability:
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/jan/10/buzzfeed-publishes-donald-trump-russia-documents-ethics-questions
What really interested me about the documents was things like the following:
“Suggestion from source close to TRUMP and MANAFORT that Republican campaign team happy to have Russia as media bogeyman to mask more extensive corrupt business ties to China and other emerging countries”.
Or this:
“Commenting on the negative media publicity surrounding alleged Russian interference in the US election campaign in support of TRUMP, Source E said he understood that the Republican candidate and his team were relatively relaxed about this because it deflected media and the Democrats’ attention away from TRUMP’s business dealings in China and other emerging markets. Unlike in Russia, these were substantial and involved the payment of large bribes and kickbacks which, were they to become public, would be potentially very damaging to their campaign.”
(Emphasis added.) These are unsubstantiated allegations, but quite serious ones that need to be investigated. Under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act it is illegal for corporations or business people to influence foreign officials with any personal payments or rewards. The American people need a high degree of assurance that the man about to occupy the highest office in the land is not a lawbreaker.
So you say today, in the cold light of day. But last night you were in a feeding frenzy along with all your Media Orcs. Like Saruman, you shouted, “We will feast on man flesh.”
If you knew something false would destroy someone, would you use it anyway – or would you reveal its falsity? I believe you would use it against a hated enemy as long as it couldn’t be traced back to you. And all normal Whites are your Enemy.
You’re wrong.You don’t care what I say, but I speak for the record. I did indulge in a bit of schadenfreude at Trump experiencing the same kind of gaslighting he and many others visited on Obama for eight years over his birth certificate, but that’s all it was.
The dossier is a tissue of anonymously-sourced, evidence-free oppo research/slander with absolutely no corroboration. I do think that the China bribery allegation is a thread worth pulling, though. Who knows if it will actually lead anywhere?
Stockman’s book Trumped should be enlightening! We’ve been Bushwacked, now we are to be Trumped. Trump’s troop of trolls (say that 3 times fast) are taking over the district. Talk about filling up the swamp. You betcha. At least Americans didn’t get Romney shoved down it’s collective throat as Secretary of State, that which it rejected 4 years ago. Deep State, deep swamp. What the hell’s the difference.
Hash tag: Not My President.
Dumbedup said, “I was responding to the post above that said Rick Santelli won the debate…The claim that everyone does it so it must be okay (especially when it hurts the candidate you oppose) is a school yard argument.”
That was not his argument, that was simply his two cents worth. The point Santelli was making was that it had been happening for the last six months, but only became an issue after Clinton lost. The media ignored it as long as they could because of the information contained in the emails, then when a way was provided to spin it and talk about sourcing rather than content. They are still doing it. The debate never really happened, cut short and redirected immediately back to the evil Russian meme. Timing was the issue, and to democratic eyes, if she is elected – it goes away – since he was elected it must be replaced [ with source argument ] and made to go away.
Everybody knows everybody is doing it- we’ve all bought into that hypocrisy – and therefore have accepted blowback for it – for the children [ the few that don’t know ].
Elrond, when the Lower Downs forget their place and start to complain about their lot, what happens? The Ones On Top raise the specter of Bolshevism or, in our present day circumstance, Fascism. Can’t have the unworthy and unwashed getting uppity now can we?
The approach is simple. A matter of basic economics, as you put it yourself, that being exporting jobs while importing newcomers, all in an effort to drive down hourly wages, is re-cast in terms of openness to foreigners, and borderlessness and freedom.
And if you’re against this openness and borderlessness, well, it’s easy, you’re a bigot, you’re uneducated, you’re a xenophobe, you’re afraid of change. Of course, this is nonsense, such people just don’t want their bread and butter mainstays ruined. You have to eat as everyone knows and there aren’t enough jobs to go around for the existing populace never mind immigrants.
But the Ones On Top only care about their own bottom lines. To them, hourly wage earners are expendable. Hence Brexit, hence Trump.
If all the jobs are going to Mexico, why are all the Mexicans coming here?
All the Mexicans aren’t coming here. But desperate ones are. To over-generalize, they’re coming here to be pickers. Those that can’t get 3 dollar an hour jobs in re-located factories in Mexico get jobs in the US on farms. According to one such picker it would take a week to earn in Mexico on a farm what he can make in one day in the US. It’s not just illegal Mexicans coming it’s a lot of other people coming in legally. Things are so lousy in their home country that they’ll take a chance in the US.
“Take a chance here?”
you mean like selling heroin?
or armed robbery, like the blacks?
But the ones on top care only for their bottom line. Not much truer words have been posted.
This comment section is one vast wasteland on “punking” by the very Deep State that JHK derides this week.
It has a darkly humorous comparison in the latest “intelligence leak” that McStain foisted upon the publick via Buzzfeed (and then on to Big Media).
Pop up the popcorn; this is going to be quite the show. I can’t think of a more entertaining way for what little remains of the MANY intel agencies credibility (and their handmaidens in the the MSM) to finally crumble into their own cesspool of lies and disinformation.
So, to all you paid bullshitters: Go Fuck Yourselves. You don’t matter anymore and your just desserts will be well-earned. Got employment? Didn’t think so, but you can always write “stooge” on that application; that should get you a coveted position.
It would be a net improvement if these intel agencies, these bastions of incompetence and lawlessness, were disbanded.
If I were POTUS it would be my first order of business before they burst my head open like a watermelon.
Well stated O3. I often picture several of our stooges working in adjoining cubicles, very small cubicles, in keeping with their low pay. They get together in the break room and laugh about us. It is impossible to insult them, so best to ignore them. They are like the tar baby–any attempt to fight back merely results in one getting glued to tar.
By the way:
For one agency, the possessive is agency’s.
For more than one agency, it’s agencies’.
Just a mistake in hitting the keys, of course.
Better a pedant than a stooge. Last summer, when I corrected him/it, Danny told me to grow up. Back to your tiny cubicle, Danny.
Sent from Des Moines, Iowa, the Suburban Sprawl Capital of the world.
Yes, Elrond is just such a stooge. I never believed the slander of the day about Mr Trump. And how they screech about Russia! – like any McCarthyite.
I’m no particular fan of Obama, but I do find it ironic to see the birthers get outraged over the rumors about Trump & Putin, considering that they spread rumors about Obama not being born here. It’s even funnier when you consider that Trump himself was one of the biggest Birthers. Talk about being hoist by his own petard. Ah the irony. Fake news anybody?
The evidence for Obama being born elsewhere is very, very strong. The evidence for Trump hiring piss prostitutes is non-existent. You just don’t have any capacity for discernment, Cap.
Please stop voting.
Neither the Trump story nor the Obama story is true. I was pointing out the irony of Trump being smeared with a false story just like he smeared Obama with his birther bullshit. Look up the word irony, and then look up discernment. You apparently don’t know much about either word. I can lead you to the water Janos, but I can’t make you drink.
I didn’t listen to, or watch, Obama’s Farewell Address last night except for the opening minute or two. He is every bit the Grand Stander Trump is, just a more intelligent & articulate rendition. I can’t stand his cockiness. He has his own swagger just as Putin does. He’s very much in love with himself, just as Putin and Trump are in love with themselves. I don’t even think Hillary loves herself as much as those three.
Anyway, they were showing bits and pieces of Obama’s Farewell Address on the Cable News Networks this morning and one quote jumped out at me. Obama said something to the effect that his Presidency broke a barrier — that the White House was now accessible to everyone and not just a select few.
You know, he’s right about that and Trump is following in Obama’s footsteps. The White House, since it’s now accessible to everyone, is now also accessible to “former” Communists, namely Vladimir Putin.
In all seriousness though, not that I wasn’t being serious, Obama is full of shit. Of course he was referring to the matter of Race, but any intelligent person knows that Race is used to divide & fracture & distract from the real war that’s being waged non-stop 24/7 — The Class War. The White House is not accessible to The Poor. It never was and it never will be, so Obama’s a liar, but of course, I already knew he was — this just validates it further.
They’re all Oligarchs anyway so it really doesn’t matter which one of them is running the show. If you scratch Putin, Trump will appear. You are also absolutely right about the class war, & half of these rubes don’t realize we’re in one.
Among the many reasons I’m not an Obama fan is the way he talks, and I don’t mean any slight black accent he may have. It’s his tendency to whisper the last word of nearly every sentence–like he’s swallowing the word.
I wonder if he learned this in the Ivy League? Anyway, there will soon be fewer times for me to have to listen to it.
elysianfields said: Q was an officer…have you not been attendant?
An officer perhaps, but NEVER a gentleman. I suggest we substitute sleazy pervert for gentleman.
An Officer and a Sleazy Pervert.
It has a nice ring to it, you must admit, and, it’s rather fitting, I’d say.
I watched a little tiny bit of Trump’s first Press Conference since he was “elected.” I had to turn it off — it was too much like Nazi Germany for my tastes, thank you very much. Next time maybe they can make it more like Stalinist Russia or Maoist China or…..fill in the blank.
It’s getting weird, Cold, but I suspect that it’s gonna get weirder. There is no question in my mind that the wheels are coming off, and we are entering into unexplored (for us) territory. Anyone who is capable of thinking critically about the bizarre nature of what is happening, should be able to see that we are entering (for us), new unexplored territory. It should give any thoughtful person a few sleepless nights. By the way, I see Trump as resembling Mussolini. If you look at old film of Benito strutting around, I think you will agree. Yours in the pursuit of sanity, I am Capt Spaulding.
He’s defensive and arrogant, and not very bright. If he has been coached on public speaking it doesn’t show. I was reminded of the quote from Hamlet, “the lady doth protest too much.” He’s hiding something. Not saying its about the Russians … but it might be.
This article is pure opinion with no substantiating evidence backing it up. I grant you that getting the ‘substantiating evidence’ is very difficult nowdays but I think U.S. citizens should place there faith in the FBI, CIA, and NSA rather than the Russians when it comes to trusting one or the other.
This blog has lost all meaning. It used to be a good place back when it discussed important things like energy.
their.
I don’t place my faith in any of them, be it the American Alphabet Agencies or Russia. However, I won’t take sides in the kerfuffle because I’m not sure how REAL the kerfuffle is or that there even are sides.
What I do know is, I had direct experience with a Scumbag from the “Intelligence Community.” He is a former Director of Human intelligence for the DoD. He threatened to have his Special Ops Goons do to me what he and they did to Che. When I told him his threat was illegal and especially egregious considering his position and stature and that I was contemplating contacting the FBI about it, he told me to go right ahead — and, in fact, offered to give me The Director’s number because he’s great friends with The Director. The “Intelligence Community” to include the FBI, the NSA and the CIA know about this Scumbag, and no doubt they know about his threat to have me murdered. In fact, since we know the NSA stores all electronic data for later retrieval if they so desire to parse it, we know they have the entire exchange I had with this Fuck Face “on file.” And yet, they’ve done nothing about it. Nothing. This Shitbird should be in jail and his military honors should be stripped. The message is clear — this Scumbag and all his Scumbag friends & colleagues in the “Intelligence Community” can do anything they damn well please and get away with it because the law obviously doesn’t apply to them.
Everything I just described is true. I wouldn’t make something like that up. The American “Intelligence Community” is just as malevolent as Putin’s Russia, and, in fact, if it’s not in cahoots with Putin’s Russia, I’d say it’s rather envious of Russia’s autocracy. Think how refreshing it would be for them to remove their cowardly masks and be who they really are without shame. That’s what Putin’s Russia is like, and I’m sure that’s what the American “Intelligence Community” hopes America will be like if The Colonel is any indication, and I believe he is.
If I’m wrong, then prove it you Fuckers. Put that Motherfucker in jail where he belongs and don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about, you cowardly cheaters.
“The American “Intelligence Community” is just as malevolent as Putin’s Russia,”
“Gentlemen do not read other people’s mail….”-Henry Stimson
Cold,
Are you suggesting that they’re reading our mail, and, by extension, they are not “Gentlemen”?
I think they’re doing a great deal more than reading our mail. It’s beyond them not being Gentlemen. I don’t even think they’re human.
From their point of view they are at war and in war like love, anything goes.
They are all too human!
They do do a lot more than simply read mail. I have tried to send emails to news agencies and have had them scrambled up and sent back to me as undeliverable. That lets the air out of any whistle-blowing pipes you may have had pretty quick.
They are at war all right. A war to keep their paychecks coming!
The icing on the cake for them being that no news agency will talk to you without an introductory email first. I found that out quick. Then I realized that news agencies were probably directed to require introductory emails by the deep state. The purpose being so nobody can contradict or attack the deep state. News agencies not realizing they have been played by this ploy go along with this requirement as a feel good patriotic duty as ‘wayfarer’ demonstrates in saying,
“U.S. citizens should place” their “faith in the FBI, CIA, and NSA”.
Would ‘wayfarer’ have said the same thing if we were living in Germany in the 1930’s?
Of course he would have. He is either an idiot or he works for the Gestapo. He would have been as stupid then as he is now.
capt spaulding, I agree about the Mussolini comparison. The body & facial gestures are very similar. It was disturbing watching that Press Conference for the little bit of time I did. There are no Good Faith actors in any of this. Trump is nuts, no doubt about it, but the Liberals who are criticizing him are equally as nuts and a bunch of hypocrites as well.
I mean, seriously. Golden Showers? Really? What would their reaction be if the shoe was on the other foot and this was being done to Obama? Of course, we know that’s an impossible scenario because Obama has those special Deep State connections that prevent such a thing, but let’s speculate on it anyway. Let’s say the “Intelligence Community” released information after Obama was elected indicating that The Muslim Brotherhood meddled in the election. Further, let’s say as part of that Intelligence Report it was revealed that during Obama’s trip to Pakistan whilst he was in college, there was footage of him banging )( and gifting them with Pearl Necklaces) Bacha Boys two at a time like Fredo in Vegas, except Fredo preferred Cocktail Waitresses. How would the Liberals react to that? Much the same way the Conservatives are acting about these unsubstantiated allegations about Trump and Golden Showers. This Red Team/Blue Team bullshit is nauseating and counterproductive, and I think that’s by design. Divide & Conquer.
For the few of us who can step outside the Binary Bind, it;s a very lonely place. We see the futility of it all. Rather than constructively constructing a Post Carbon world, they’re ensuring Armageddon.
capt spaulding, your post made me think of something. Perhaps Trump is a Sign of the Times. He’s a manifestation of The Singularity. Amongst other things, my understanding of The Singularity is that change happens so rapidly, our perceptual models for understanding our World begin to break down and consequently we increasingly can’t make sense of the new realities coming at us like bullets in a fire fight. Even the creators of realities can’t keep up, and it’s precisely at this point where no one or nothing, absent some greater unacknowledged distributed intelligence, is any longer in control and the management of anything becomes ever more difficult to near impossoble. I think we’ve reached that point.
Coup d’etat with the trembling hands
I watched Trump’s press conference today:
The head of the intelligence agencies are trying to make a coup d’etat. And all these indignant cries of the connection of election of President Trump with Putin’s Russian hackers are part of this flaccid coup.
And when Trump poked a CNN correspondent face-on-the-table, I was happy as kid!
The attempt at the coup actually takes place, but yesterday’s press conference with the heads of intelligence agencies is irresistibly reminiscent of the 1991 Soviet coup d’état attempt and shaking hands of Yanaev.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Soviet_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt
And after some thinking, and remembering the already mentioned affinity between Trump and Yeltsin, I came to the conclusion that this similarity is not situational, but is based on the coincidence of a historically substantial missions of Spotted Judas Gorbachev and Hillary, or if you want late CPSU-KGB-Komsomol and the Sect of the Neocons.

Glenn Greenwald has a great article about the Deep State’s war with Trump. I know JHK doesn’t like links, but it is called “The Intercept” and the article is linked on Jesse’s Cafe Americain website.
As I’ve said, Greenwald does more from his laptop in his Brazilian treehouse than the MSM does with billions
Sean Hannity: It was a different Michael Kohn. Journalism is dead and Trump buried it this morning.
He didn’t kill it – it committed suicide.
Umm, hey Numb Nuts, Hannity is also The Mainstream Media, so he’s dead too.
He’s been great the last six months on Trump, defending him against these cannibals. In general, he’s a bit of a dunce, especially on Israel.
Did you hear he actually went to Ecuador to interview Assange? If nothing else, this is a guy fighting very hard to reinvent himself and save his career.
“Wikileaks has been right on everything for the last ten years.” Is this true? An extraordinary statement from Sean, and even more extraordinary if true.

Assange is in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
Brilliant Trump performance at a press conference! The media in vain is trying to make out of him a Playboy who accidentally wandered into the political playground: he is intelligent, strong-willed, and fearless, and not searching for words in his pocket.
And his words may prove prophetic: after 8 years America will be grateful to him – and maybe not only America!
I agree Finca, Trump’s Press Conference was superb. It should be the Paradigm for Press Conferences going forward. For the first time in my life, it made me proud to be an American and it made me proud of America. If this Press Conference is an example of things to come as far as a Trump Administration is concerned, he truly will Make America Great Again.
So far, America has been a promise. The catch is “We the People” have to do it ourselves. No dependence on “leaders” without vision [ the blind ]~•???¤???

How could you possibly know? This is what you said up thread:
“I watched a little tiny bit of Trump’s first Press Conference…”
Additionally, you said:
“It was disturbing watching that Press Conference for the little bit of time I did.”
The fact is, Cold, you were glued to your TV the entire time – being the political junkie you are – but you don’t want to admit to giving a person as crass as Trump the time of day much less your undivided attention.
I, on the other hand, am the genuine article. I did not watch the debates. I did not vote AT ALL, not even for a third party candidate or a write in. And today, as every day excluding weekends, I was tuned to CNBC to monitor the stock market. They showed the Tillerson grilling and the Trump press conference but I had it muted. What I know comes from reading the CNBC blurbs and my own unconscious lip reading… which I have become pretty good at since my hearing impairment has been growing worse for 30 years.
BTW, I differ with your contention that Trump’s and Mussolini’s mannerisms are similar. They both were/are incorrigible narcissists but with entirely different mannerisms.
I agree Finca, Trump’s Press Conference was superb. == Cold

To be fair, I guess it is understandable that a person whose first language is not American English would not understand that the expression is ‘scared shitless.’
“Intelligence” community kisses Trump shoe
https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/224-press-releases-2017/1469-dni-clapper-statement-on-conversation-with-president-elect-trump
American intelligence agencies trying to distance themselves from the scandal about “Moscow report”, prostitutes and “gold showers”. They did not examine the accuracy of the “informational report”. Moreover, Clapper said that he agreed with Trump over the fact that the document leaked to the press had a negative impact on US national security.
Translated into English, “This pile of shit is not mine, Mr. President; do not beat me on the head with your shoes”.
Clapper emphasized that he was “upset” about the leak to the press.
The head of the US intelligence community believes that the leak occurred from one of the US intelligence agencies.
Translated into English, “It’s not me, Mr.President, it is McCain and his amateur fuckers, he’s old and doesn’t care, but I still want to live.”
Trump has expressed respect for the intelligence community; Clapper assured him that the intelligence community is ready to “serve the new administration.”
Translated into English, “Who’s talking about the president’s illegitimacy? We publicly swear the allegiance to the new administration!”
Bitches are scared shitlessly… – Q. Shtik
Mr.Q right, as always!
““Intelligence” community kisses Trump shoe”
Finc,
Again with the shoes!
I know that there are major cultural differences between the Russian People and the Americans…however, when offering an object of obeisance, the shoe, in our culture, is the last thing suggested to be kissed….
During the campaign, Donald Trump asserted that Ted Cruz was controlled by Goldman Sachs. He also assured us He was not. Since the election, Trump has appointed Five (5) persons to his administration. Is this talking out of both sides of your mouth. Yes, many Were sucker punched. JHK was right. Stockman should be president in order to save a nation headed to ruin. Former counsel in the White House has stated Trump is more Nixonian than Nixon, that the similarities are striking. Congratulations america. A clown for a fourth turning.
Hey dummy, Stockman was not a former white house counsel.
After being ushered out of the OMB he went into the private sector… companies went bankrupt, investment funds too, he was brought up on charges… any more bright ideas?
But it’s America, everyone has a second act.
Trump appointed 5 persons from Goldman Sachs to his administration, I meant to say. Not controlled by Goldman Sachs Donald Trump?
Goldman Sachs = British City of London interests watchman – so the Americans shell out the Crown’s share of money printing operation.
Long live The Queen!
You’re completely right. I, for one, am heartbroken.
Q. Shtik said: The fact is, Cold, you were glued to your TV the entire time….
You’re as terrible as America’s “Intelligence Community” when it comes to analysis. You’re wrong, I assure you. Ask yourself, why would I lie about something like this? I only watched a tiny bit of it live and then later I saw bits and pieces of it that were replayed on the Cable News Networks. That was enough to fill in the gaps that painted the entire picture.
What’s next, Q. Shtik? Are you going to tell me I like to watch prostitutes in Moscow giving each other Golden Showers as Michelle Obama, on the Telly in the background, is the Late Night guest star with Jimmy Fallon?
Think, Q. Shtik, think. For once. This is why you were never a CPA, not that CPA’s are any better at thinking, or at least not thinking outside the box unless it involves criminal activity such as Cooking the Books.
Freakiti- I never wrote Stockman was a former White House counsel. Doesn’t matter what you write, Stockman outlines good ideas for the nation’s salvation. On a side note, talk about trolls… They’re taking over the district.
Barb, why are you not posting as Janet or WPA today you f****ng clown?
Q. Shtik said: BTW, I differ with your contention that Trump’s and Mussolini’s mannerisms are similar. They both were/are incorrigible narcissists but with entirely different mannerisms.
Mussolini, like Hitler, was prone to absurdly exaggerated bodily & facial gesticulations & contortions just as Trump is. In fact, when it came to facial contortions, no one could match Mussolini, not even Hitler. Trump matches Mussolini, but yes, I agree, when you study it closely, Trump’s specific gesticulations are unique. Stalin, on the other hand, was Deadpan.
BTW Trump is the founder of fake news. example: Obama wasn’t born in this country…I have people looking into it right now. He’s the founder. Friendship D.B. wherever you are.
BTW Trump is the founder of fake news. example: Obama wasn’t born in this country
No, he ain’t! Most “conspiracy theories” of late are coming from Hillary’s HQ – including 911 “truthers”.
She just made an offer to Trump he couldn’t refuse at the time.
If Obama’s academic records are ever unsealed we will know whether or not he applied as a foreign student. And it is not inconceivable that he would have lied about being a foreign student in order to gain some entrance requirement advantage. Some believe he had deep state assistance along the way — sort of like the underwear bomber who was ushered through airport ticketing/security without a passport (anyone for a trip down memory lane?).
Bottom line is who knows? A relative, who has retired from the deep state, once told me “those who know don’t talk, and those who talk don’t know.”
What the f*k are you talking about? Obama is a grandson of President Kennedy. His father – JFK son, was brought to US under some African student-exchange program in late 50s.
Obama is 100% US citizen and even more – a member of American Royal Family.
Here, take a look at that:
http://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/welcome-to-world-war-three/#comment-230418
Whose grandson became the President of the United States on January 20, 2009?
I understand that the various intelligence services rely on the CFN comment section for corroboration.
Pity that Trump was not briefed before he waded into the birther pool, but that’s irrelevant now.
As always Finc, where would we be without your guiding light?
You see, Russia and US been partners-competitors for a such long time, there are practically no secrets from each other.
We’re like a big happy family.
We know have you been to the Moon or not, we know who your Presidents really are, we know what Hillary was really up to.
Janos said: “Wikileaks has been right on everything for the last ten years.” Is this true? An extraordinary statement from Sean, and even more extraordinary if true.
I agree with what Trump first said about Hackers several years ago. Unlike Trump, I’m consistent, and if I change my mind, I tell you why I did. Hackers deserve the highest criminal penalty the System affords, and in America, the highest penalty is execution, so, Hackers should be executed. I think it’s that serious. There are no GOOD Hackers. It’s something that will always, and I mean always, be used for malevolent purposes.
That includes Hackers in the employ of the American “Intelligence Community” and Hackers, under the guise of Cyber Security firms, contracted by the American “Intelligence Community.”
If I were POTUS, rather than my first order of business being the repeal of the ACA, I’d go about the business of rounding up all the Hackers and prosecuting them.
Hackers should be executed
Be careful what you wish for! If that would be done, the entire Microsoft would be de-populated.
Where the next lousy update to the Skype or IE would come from?
Hackers are the only thing that makes any kind of legitimate media possible now. And we need a legitimate media – it’s the nervous system of the social body. Thus your belief is simply crazy. Who do you think is making the battle against the evil system you rail against possible?
You’re all for it until you’re not, and then you forget, like Trump, that you were once for it because now it’s been turned against you. It will be turned against the Conservatives and the faux Alt-Right, of which you are part, I assure you and then you’ll look like fools once again, but, it’s no matter. Fools don’t care that they’re fools, thus they are fools in perpetuity. Keep on keepin’ on, you fool.
Cold n.Holefield … A Montessori school. I knew you were alright.
Hey barb, she started her first class in her new school this past Monday. She has five students so far and they are all refugees and the sweetest kids you will ever meet. The only boy in the class, an adorable little three-year-old from Syria, told her yesterday he loves her and he loves Walmart but he doesn’t like tornadoes.
I love & relish her stories about the children. Every day she comes home with a new story. Children are simply amazing. What this System of Civilization does to them, what it turns them into, is beyond tragic. Look at Q. Shtik. He was once one of these adorable children and look at him now. He’s been turned into a fucking loathsome deplorable Monster. It’s tragic and depressing to see such amazing potential eviscerated by a System that seeks to destroy all life on Planet Earth.
That being said, I’m very nervous for her and the children because I suspect The Colonel, or operatives within the American “Intelligence Community,” have no qualms about gunning her and her class of refugee children down in cold blood and then pinning it on some loon, or programming some loon to do it. I think they are that evil. Just last week, she found two cops lurking about so she confronted them and they said the alarm had gone off. She had all the doors locked so she wasn’t sure how they got in. As it turns out, the back stairwell door wasn’t locked and that’s how they made it up to her floor. I took it as a signal from the “Intelligence Community” that they could annihilate her and her class at any time, and that’s why I’m speaking out about it. If, God forbid, something like that ever happened, WE know who/what is responsible.
Refugees? They belong in Arab Countries. Would she be willing to relocate there as Mr Trump has indicated for the refugees?
Watch your step, son.
How does Montessori differ than Waldorf?
I bet the RNC kept their Secrets safe, as compared to the DNC, because they are running Kaspersky. I wonder of Alex Jones & Infowars runs Kaspersky? I bet they do.
Thanks for sharing Cold. Beautiful. Hang in there!!! I stand in solidarity. Hang in there! You’re right, children rock.so do you.
Thanks, barb. We’re The Few. I also stand in solidarity with any Good Faith individual who is threatened and harassed by the Deep State or threatened & harassed by anyone for that matter. Even K-Dog despite the fact he doesn’t reciprocate and instead calls me Hole and provides apologia and cover for The Colonel. It’s alright though, I’m accustomed to going it alone. When you stand up to Power and speak Truth to it, and I mean REAl TRUTH to it, you’re a very lonely person. Friends aren’t real friends if you and they can’t can’t be honest with one another.
My God, Barb,
…You get a kidney!
And YOU get a kidney
…Everybody gets a kidney,,,,
You say Sukhov? We shall see now what kind of Sukhov he is!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50R2in74g-M
You say Rex Tillerson? We shall see now what kind of Tillerson he is! Obama, come in!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgXz8W9tHwo
K-Dog is referring to me as Hole. How imaginative, K-Dog. It’s a dead giveaway. It’s also very telling that you’re an apologist for The Colonel since The Colonel represents the intersection between the faux Alt-Right and the faux Alt-Left.
I have never seen the name K-Dog posting commentary at Moon of Alabama blog, yet K-Dog is very outspoken at this blog. What an odd contradiction, unless, of course, K-Dog is posting as someone else at Moon of Alabama blog and as someone else, or many elses, at various blogs. There is another creature here who refers to me as Hole — that being the nasty rapist, nsa. He/it refers to me as Hole as well because that’s all a rapist ever sees in anyone — a Hole that needs to be violently filled.
Bla bla bla.
I have been posting here on and off for over ten years. I have no desire to post at MoA and only post consistently in one other place besides here. Quite a while ago I made a conscious decision not to be sucked into the MoA maelstrom as a commenter. I already said I don’t go to MoA much and the only reason we are talking about MoA this week is because that site is listed as a fake news website. in the propornot list.
There are two people who post here who are not anonymous. One is James Howard Kunstler and the other is myself. If you go to my own web page which you can get to by simply clicking K-Dog at the top of any my comments my Web Page Made by Hand will load.
Go to the bottom of my page and in the footer you will see my real name. A bit of goggling will confirm that this dog is impersonating a real person with a real name who will get you a real cup of coffee if you come to my front door. I make my identity a bit hard to see because I am not trying to advertise myself or hide my identity. I take the middle way.
When I do post I always post as K-Dog or if a site does not allow avatars, my real name.
That is how I roll.
Does Hole ever apologize? We shall see. I suspect he may have trouble with that concept so I’ll help. He can just copy this:
I’m sorry I tried to confuse things and imply that you were a troll K-Dog. Some of the stuff you post is kind of ‘out there’ so I had to wonder if you were real or not. The kind of stuff you post is either genuine or it is a complete fabrication. Now that I see you are a real person I am very sorry and I realize that the stuff you post you are willing to defend no matter how far down the rabbit hole we need to go so it is your genuine experience. You are a real person and not simply a troll of an avatar who can disappear at whim so again; let me repeat, I am sorry and have a nice day.
Your Friend,
Cold N. Hole
Being a commenter is a commitment. I am forever having to come here to see if I have been disrespected after I make any initial weekly comment so I can respond like I am right now. If I am going to be spending half my waking hours managing comments as troll bait I want to get paid for it like some of the rest of you do.
As far as being an ‘apologist’ goes that’s not true. The colonel is a modern day Pinkerton who C. Hole would not even know about unless he went to the ‘apologists’ (my own) website. My suggestion to spit on the graves of those who employ him I make because it is common for people to target a proxy enemy and not a genuine enemy.
If ‘Cold’ does not like being called ‘Hole’ he needs a different avatar.
K-Dog: “There are two people who post here who are not anonymous. One is James Howard Kunstler and the other is myself.”
Yo!
http://www.lornebeaton.com
Is Mr Kunstler any relation to the famous radical lawyer, William Kunstler?
ask him.
Have you no decency, K-Dog? Using demeaning nicknames like Hole gratuitously is very disrespectful so please observe the rules of commenting etiquette and only use the full name for the resident potty mouth leftie nitwit….Corn N. Hole.
Hey nsa, it’s time for The Colonel’s hourly Blow Job & Rim Job, so you best get to it, Boody Boy. The Colonel referred to me as a “Leftie” too. I wonder how many “gooks” The Colonel raped and had raped in his day in addition to all the “troublemaker” troops he had fragged? Quite a few, I’m sure, and now he’s a very rich man for it.
No wonder I skip most of yr posts.
Most? Please, skip them ALL. They’re not meant for Mantal Midgets like yourself. Contrarily, I suggest you make sure to read all of Finca posts, and most especially, make sure you click on and read Finca’s most informative links. It’s more your speed.
You dont like him. Gosh.
He must be doing some things right.
I love Finca. You know why? Because he makes you & your ilk out to be bigger fools than you already are — something I thought was heretofore impossible. I’m stunned your mother made it to full term with you without involuntary abortion. With a mistake like you, a woman will most always miscarry, but somehow, in your case. nature screwed up and we’ve had to deal with the mistake that is you ever since.
No wonder I skip most of yr posts. – Malthuss to Cold
============
Malth, when you claim that you skip (or scroll over) all or most of someone’s posts, what it actually means is that you read EVERY FREAKIN’ WORD that person writes but you dislike that person both personally and ideologically.
The same goes for Cold N. when he claims he only watched a teensy weensy little bit of the Trump press conference yet opines in detail about the wonders of that press conference.
All the rest of us understand that the opposite is true……. viz.
1. Malth reads every word that Cold writes and
2. Cold watches everything happening politically anywhere on earth because that provides the grist for his writing penchant. It is the reason why he gave up gainful employment as a CPA….. because even HE could not serve two masters.
We wish Cold’s wife well in her endeavor to start a string of Montessori schools since the Holefield family still needs to eat.
With a mistake like you, a woman will most always miscarry, but somehow, in your case. nature screwed up and we’ve had to deal with the mistake that is you ever since. – a nasty put-down of Malthuss by Cold (from just above).
=============
Back in the day we used a similar put-down:
“The best part of you ran down your mother’s leg.”
Q. Shtik, I will allow you your indulgence to believe what you want to believe, but that doesn’t make it fact. I believe malthuss when he says he skips my posts, and I’m glad he does. I don’t comment for him, obviously. Just because you read everything I post doesn’t mean everyone does. Quit projecting your peculiarity onto everyone as though it’s a normal or common trait that everyone shares. You’re not nearly as normal & common as you think, although you are in many respects.
So, once again I’ll state it for the record, I didn’t watch Trump’s entire Press Conference. Not even close, and I don’t watch as much “politics” or “news” as you think. I watch a little and I take that little and run with it. If I watched too much, it would be overwhelming because all I need is a little. Open your mind, Q. Shtik. Get out of the box. You have the potential still even though your days are severely numbered. If you like Six Feet Under, you have the capacity to break your chains. Do it, Man, before you take your last breath. It will be your last accomplishment and you will have ascended Maslow’s Hierarchy entirely.
Obama wont grant an Infant constitutional rights [above mah pay grade], meanwhile in Europe,

What is the purpose of such legislation? Trans humanism?
Hey Pequist you got it right Twain and Conrad indeed banned — from some CT publics schools at least. At Ivy League Penn students in the English Dept. have issued a ‘Demand’ Shakespeare be removed from the cirruculum — too white. At U of London they are issuing demands too: eliminate Kant, Neitzche, Descartes and Bertram Russell, Ezra Pound, Johnson, Mallory, Plato, Socrates, Levy … anybody who was white up to about the time of Malcolm X.
You can leave in Karl Marx.

What do you expect from Leftist Jews?
Q
Of course you’re right. Remember early on that black Americans were suspicious of Obama for that very reason. His roots aren’t in Black America, as a descendant of slaves. He doesn’t have an American Slave-Jim Crow heritage.
Ain’t that the truth! His father was never even a citizen. He was a Kenyan African student visiting America who scored some white pussy while he was here and then he went back to Africa after learning his four ‘F’s. Find-em,feed-em, fuck-em, and forget-em. I suspect he skipped the feed-em part.
And that is an unvarnished truth that needed a lot of varnish before it could shine bright. If Quo-Bama’s grandparents had not been rich he would have soaked in some of that American Slave-Jim Crow heritage by osmosis, but that was not to be.
Instead, being the grandson of Madelyn Dunham who became one of the Bank of Hawaii’s first female vice presidents Wall Street boys discovered Quo-Bama years before anyone else heard of him and then they groomed him to be their boy in the White House.
It should not have been a shock to realize that Hopey-Change turned out to be an incrementalist elitist who would resist any real change and dedicate himself to maintaining existing class structure at all cost. But since a sucker is born every minute some people were still shocked when he turned out to be what he really was.
Yet he has not an iota of gratitude for the Whites who treated him so well. Put your mind at rest, Kdog – he is for White Genocide just like Bill Ayers. Bill wouldn’t associate with him otherwise. He has carried out his mission of chaos as per Cloward and Piven. He deserves your respect.
Best post of yours!!!!
Thwack, if you want to know what I meant, just read what I wrote. It’s perfectly straight forward. Not a word in my post about heroin dealers or black armed robbers.
Cold, re your comment about getting your head burst open like a watermelon: it’s been done, twice in my own lifetime, once to a president, once to his brother.
Also, disbandment would be easier said that done. Such power structures are there because powerful actors in society benefit from their presence. Suffice to say that such assets as intel agencies have been appropriated for the use of a slim segment of the food chain for their own protection. Protection from who (whom?). The great unwashed, meaning people like you and me, that’s who. The active presence and interference of government employed trolls on this site is testament to that.
People say that the pen is mightier than the sword but, in the end, if it was a confrontation between someone with a pen and someone with a sword, I put my money on the guy with the sword. Men with pens are only any good if they have guys with swords behind them.
Esteemed Japanese philosopher posits “Bunbu Itchi” translated as “Pen and sword in accord” as superior Way for warrior. Warrior gentlemen should strive for mastery of both instruments.
See Miyamoto Musashi “Book of Five Rings”
Quite so. The pen uses ink but leads to the spilling of blood. The sword writes with blood but leads to the spilling of ink. The are mind and body in effect.
Thwack introduced a third, the penis. Perhaps we can construct a rock, paper, scissors relationship between them.
V.:
“Whom” is correct.
From is a preposition.
A preposition takes a pronoun in the objective case. (The object of the preposition.)
Whom is the objective-case form. Who is the subjective.
Yeah, what he said.
And then only good if the men with swords don’t have men with guns behind them!
K-Dick, you’re full of fucking shit and you are a liar. I will ignore you from here until eternity. In my mind, you no longer exist. You are not someone I would ever enter into solidarity with. I don’t trust you. I think you’re a fraud and I don’t want your fucking poisoned coffee.
As well, I clicked on your blog one time about four years ago and it was the last time. I will not give you my ip even though you probably have it any way.
“I will ignore you from here until eternity. In my mind, you no longer exist.”
Can I take your word that you will ignore me from here to etirnity or are you just trying to get my hopes up?
How did you know about the colonel if you did not go to my website in the last four years. Nobody but you mentioned him here at all. Did you have someone else go to my website for you?
Sorry, never mind that, I forgot you are ignoring me. Too bad, you should have thought twice about that coffee. I am in Seattle and we have pretty high standards when it comes to coffee here. I only drink Arabica.
K Dog, at the end of the day, what did we get from Obama?
Wall Street deemed too big to jail, in-yer-face pay-to-play corruption, in-yer-fucking face criminal negligence by his secretary of state in handling government communications. The list goes on and on. And Democrats put on these airs of moral superiority. What a joke.
I don’t think the airs are of moral superiority. I think the airs are an expression of elitism. While the Democratic party remains the party of the people, it has redefined itself to be the party of rich people only. It all became about money years ago and party principles in both major parties were thrown under the bus of progress to be run over by money. The only principle the Democratic party retained was that it does not matter what color or sexual orientation you have, all that matters is that you are rich.
Jane Fonda exemplifies the transition. She once was a socialist but then she dropped that act and became a workout guru in the 80’s for people who wanted to worship themselves. The ommmmmm of we became an ommmmmm of me.
Dog,
Ahhh, Jane Fonda…why isn’t that woman in jail? I’ve had a bumper sticker since the late 70’s that offered…”I’ll forgive Jane Fonda when the Jews forgive Hitler”. In my (impending) dotage, however, I’ve softened. I can no longer agree with the slogan on the bumper sticker…because the Jews just MIGHT forgive Hitler, and I will never release my enmity for that turncoat bitch.
volodya, people also say, “you live by the sword, you die by the sword.” Egypt was once a great Empire that lived and died by the sword. So too was Rome and Babylonia. As well, the Soviet Union lived and died by the sword. So long as you keep believing it, it will always be so.
That being said, the pen’s been replaced with the keyboard, and no one typing out comments in this space needs to be bragging about swords and men with swords and betting on men with swords. If that’s the way you feel, go get your sword and make use of it. Don’t let it collect dust in the closet.
Now the Jews, they’re smart & resilient. They’ve existed for the majority of their time as a “People” without a Nation to call their own, and they’ve managed to hang on and thrive ultimately without the Sword. The Orthodox Jews believe the creation of the State of Israel is the worst thing to happen to the Jews because it will ultimately lead to the destruction of Judaism. The Jews, or those who portend to speak for all Jews, are now living by the Sword and, as we know from History, as the saying goes, you live by the sword, you die by it.
Some Orthodox Jews feel that way. Others are fanatic supporters of the State of Israel and the Sword – the West Bank settlers are heavily Orthodox and heavily armed. Such people tend to be angry at the State for not doing enough or for giving the Arabs the Gaza Strip.
The Jews have never endorsed Pacifism and are masters of getting others to fight and profiting from it. Look what they did to the Russian People once they got control of Russia. Think they would do less here if they manage to disarm us?
not doing enough or for giving the Arabs the Gaza Strip. ”
Janos,
Giving? How about “Returning” …?
This is the one area where I will disagree with you, Cold. The majority of what you read online is just posturing bullshit. For myself, if people feel that strongly about what they are talking about, they will back it up. I believe that back in the day when people wore swords they had to be willing to back up what they said with their lives. This is in direct contrast with what you run into online, when all you risk is disagreement, & nothing else. When I argue for a particular point, I am ready to back up what I say. I may not be right, but I will back up what I said. It seems to me that what is lacking here is the fact that people can say whatever they like with no fear of repercussions. Me, I am willing to live by the sword. What that means is that I truly believe in the things that I say. I am Captain Spaulding.
The majority of everything is just posturing bullshit. It’s All Lies, remember? Online or Offline, it’s posturing either way. Toughs with their guns & swords are equally egregious posturers. It’s a disguise for inadequacy in other areas, so, it’s posturing. Calling them Warriors is also bullshit. They are no such thing. The majority of conflict these days involves the murder, and it is murder, of civilians who want no part of it. That’s not a Warrior, that’s a Thug and/or a Goon every bit as much as a Thug and/or a Goon from the Ghetto. Maybe once upon a time there was such a thing as a noble & dignified Warrior, but there is no chance for one to exist now. If someone claims to be, they are a posturing imposter and a cold-blooded, psychopathic murderer in disguise.
With respect, Cold, I have a roomful of weaponry which I am well versed in. I do not seek confrontation, nor do I shrink from it. No, there is no place at present for a dignified warrior, but I don’t think I have claimed to be. I am a peaceful guy, but I don’t let people fuck with me, either. I don’t consider myself a Warrior.
I wasn’t referring to you, so don’t take it personally. I have no weaponry, but it doesn’t mean I don’t stand by everything I express. Just because someone threatens to kill me doesn’t mean I’m going to shut up. If I pay homage to anyone, it’s to all those who have, in Good Faith & Conscience, expressed in the face of those who murdered them for it. There is no braver act. There are acts as brave, but no braver act.
“I have no weaponry”-Cold
Get some….
Except malthuss & nsa. Now there are two Warriors if ever there was one — or were two.
What that means is that I truly believe in the things that I say. I am Captain Spaulding.

And thats what will cause someone to try to kill you for what you write or say; EVEN THOUGH you have not ACTED on what you wrote or said to make it a reality.
The first person to run out of words has to switch to direct violence to compensate for their weakened state.
This is why the penis mightier than the sword.
Whites have been weakened by the Pen into giving up their Sword and now we suffer from the Penis of alien men.
The process can be reversed: other Pens can induce Whites to take up the Sword again and stop the degradation of our Women. During the interim process, White Women can do what they want of course. And of course we will respond by expelling them from the Community. Why should we support stupid women and their half breed brats – all because they want to take a walk on the wild side.
“half breed brats ”
Janos,
Was it Finc or Volodya that months ago posted…”nits become lice”?
That’s nsa I believe.
Of course this belief that “the Penis mightier than the sword,” as you claim, has no bearing on the fact of sub-Saharan Africans being enslaved over the course of history by neighboring European, Near-East and Asian civilizations, would it Thwack?
Im not sure what you are asking me pequiste?
But the point Im trying to make is that fecundity is important; the will and ability to produce life is at least equal or greater than the will and ability to destroy life.
“sub-Saharan Africans” seem to have a certain vitality for reproduction, despite SLAVERY and what ever else abuse and mistreatment you throw at them?
Indeed, they even produced white people if Im not mistaken?
How mighty is that?
*you’re welcome*
Gave birth to Whites? As if Australopithecus was Black? Or the first modern Human was? The first is a humorous absurdity. The second is unproven. Yes, the first modern humans probably had dark skin, but Black as in Negro? No evidence.
Most evidence I’ve read indicates that Negroes are fairly recent – a new breed of Archaic Homo Sapiens, perhaps with some physical improvements, but the brain as stunted as ever.
Homo Sapiens became truly Human outside of tropical Africa or perhaps outside of Africa all together.

Now Trump’s gait — that’s something to behold. I bet he’s hell on shoes, or, strike that. With all his dough, he probably has a new pair every day.
Imelda Marcos pales in comparison, I’m sure. In fact, the Trumps are kinda like America’s version of Ferdinand & Imelda Marcos. Filipino is the new American just as surely as Orange is the new Black. Weird, that. Obama is Black and Trump is Orange, so Orange really is the new Black. Yet another coincidence in a sea of them.
Now Trump’s gait — that’s something to behold. – Cold
==================
You are totally making shit up. There is nothing whatsoever remarkable about Trump’s gait. Effectively, he has no gait. With his extreme narcissism you would think he would have developed one but no, this element of his persona fell through a crack.
Not sure about his gait – it will require closer TV video clip examination. Now as a long-time Manhattanite, Donald J. Trump must walk rather briskly, maintain eyes straight ahead, and instinctively know when to cross a street (not at an intersection mind you) without becoming a hood ornament on some Mohammedan’s taxi.
But have I no doubt, after all this time, that the President-elect practices the perfect limousine “being driven” posture and attitude. The acid-test will be his evolving “waving” technique and whether he can compete with the likes of Queen Elizabeth II ( most masterful, regal wave on Earth,) or Pope Frankie with his presque “divine” little combination ” cross-wave” gesticulation. Time will tell.
Please to notice Q., Barry O’s gait. He has a discernible variant I like to call the “hip-hop [schuck].” – peq
============
Roger on Barry O’s gait. I’m not hip enough to have applied a name to it but I’ll defer to you and “hip-hop [shuck].”
Obama, not actually being culturally African American but being genetically mulatto or half black had to have presented him with certain political dilemmas depending on his audience on any given occasion. His approach to a podium on MLK Jr Day would require a touch or more of black gait. Approaching the podium to address the United Nations required an entirely (non-African American) gait. The meaning of an African American gait would be lost on virtually all of the 190+ UN member nations’ diplomats.
Of all our (white male) presidents from Truman through Bill Clinton there was never an issue of anyone making a political statement via ‘gait’. FDR, of course, had no gait due to polio. Beside Obama only George W. caused comment due to his occasional Texas swagger. Apparently the accusation of being “all hat but no cattle” could be squelched by an application of swagger and, in turn, Dubya said that in Texas a swagger was called ‘walking.’
Q.
You could not be more correct about W’s “I just got off my horse from a 500 mile cattle drive” swagger. He must have practiced eons with it to have it available instantaneously, as neither Kennebunkport nor Miami have an analog (although Miami’s hippest have either a Salsa or Samba sort of sweep to their walking style) and Jeb is not numbered among the hippest in Coral Gables, only the best Deep State connected.
back in 2010 I remember reading some comments on a racist web site by some white guys who were annoyed because Obama trotted down the steps of Air force One without using the handrail.
White people do a lot of great and vast things; but sometimes you guys are beyond ridiculous.
No, wait a minute, strike that.
If I was a racist, it would probably bother me too.
If that was me descending the steps I’d be holding the right side hand rail with both hands…. seriously.
Trotting down the airplane stairs without holding on to the railing is just a sophomoric example of ignoble grandstanding. It shows a profound disregard for the importance of the position. A President has the responsibility to keep himself/herself healthy and avoid needless risk for the benefit of the entire nation. Grandstanding is a sign of a “lightweight” not an earnest leader who is in control of his own behavior. No, it’s not necessarily a “hanging offense”, but it certainly shouldn’t evoke glowing admiration from a populace that expects leadership, not grandstanding.
Q,
Obama assimilated…isn’t that all we require from immigrants or those of the Black Culture? Assimilation and civility is all we can ask for…or hope for. To parse his gait, or a lilt to his voice may be a topic of less than polite conversation, but if every black in this country copied his example, we would have no issue with race…just sayin’
Assimilated? Because he can play golf and speak coherently? He hated Whites who don’t hate themselves. He is a Revolutionary. Not assimilated. Most urbane Blacks are the same, identifying with the unassimilated mass and loathing the People who have given them a lifestyle far beyond anything they could ever create for themselves.
Janos,
What you say is the truth…but it is the core of civilized behavior to be amiable, or at least neutral, in social contact. I don’t care if they hate me, as long as they act civilized and keep their opinions to themselves. I have hated some of them (blacks) and would like to have killed more than one given the opportunity, but I never acted other than civil. We may not be able to control our thoughts of others, but we can control our actions.
Malcom X may have hated the “white devil”, but, in his “enlightened” years, he was not out jacking cars, hanging out on street corners sucking on an “8” and eye-fucking every white guy who drove by.
Civility is the most we can reasonably ask for.
Q. Shtik said: How could you possibly know?
Why must I always take you by the hand and lead you to the water, and still, you cannot and will not drink? My comment to Finca was OBVIOUS satire, you dunce. Watching Trump’s entire Press Conference, something I could not stomach, was not mandatory for the satirical comment. You’re either losing it or you never had it. If you’re losing it, I’m sorry to hear it. What a drag it is getting old. If you never had it, well, I can’t help you with that.
Watching Trump’s entire Press Conference, something I could not stomach, was not mandatory for the satirical comment. – Cold
===========
The satire is duly noted but nevertheless you’re still busted….. you watched every friggin’ minute of the press con. Who you tryin’ to shit?
I’ve never in all my born days heard a 74-year-old retired accountant use the word “friggin’.” Sometimes I wonder if you really are Ken, or if you’re using his identity in a Catfishing Scheme. I have Ken’s number. Maybe I’ll give it a call and see if you are indeed Ken. You don’t mind, do you? We don’t have to talk if it really is you.
“We don’t have to talk if it really is you.”
Just a lot of moaning and heavy breathing?
Are you reminiscing about how you & the boys spent your time with one another during your stint in the service? I think so. Don’t worry, I’m not asking & I won’t tell. It will be our little secret. FYI, I don’t think any less of you and thank you for being honest.
I’ve never in all my born days heard a 74-year-old retired accountant use the word “friggin’.” – Cold
===========
A few points here concerning your comment:
1. I’m 76, not 74.
2. ‘friggin’ is one of my favorite words as in “Who the hell left the friggin’ basement lights on all night dammit?!” (Despite a nice inheritance I am still very frugal.)
3. I prefer the title ‘Financial Analyst’ or, secondarily, ‘Auditor.’ I never worked as an ‘Accountant,’ per se. I was good at counting and organizing beans and explaining to management in writing what it all meant.
4. If you actually have my number by all means call. I’m usually sitting right here on my ass all day long unless I’m outside doing some yard work. (Yesterday I took down Christmas lights from my pyramid and elsewhere.)
74 or 76, what’s the difference except 2 years? Either way, you’re well past your prime.
If I watched Trump’s entire Press Conference, you’re a Retired Accountant.
Funny about the basement lights. My son & daughter have been in the habit lately of leaving the kitchen light on all night and it drives me bonkers from a to z. I say something akin to what you say sans the friggin’.
Christmas Lights on a Pyramid — now that’s what I would call Eclectic…..and rather gauche. But, that’s you.
I might call if I get bored enough. We’ll see. If the phone rings, it may just be me. I was once an accountant too, so I understand the importance of verification.

I don’t know or care if we are being lied to. What is more relevant to me is that we are being distracted so we don’t have to think about truly important things. Politics is a great distraction – just look at where our attention has been focused for the last year as the great quadrennial spectacle has played itself out.
Getting high is an American way of life, as is football and other professional sports; also include low-quality tv, inane social media and rampant consumerism – all distractions. Granted, we all need some distractions from the emotional, physical and financial hardships of daily life, but doesn’t it seem that the whole thing is overdone?
Where is there time and energy left for acting on real issues like overpopulation, peak everything and environmental decay?
It feels like we’re immersed in a gigantic cosmic computer simulation, that reality is something entirely different from what we imagine.
We are being played. C’mon people, wake up and get out of the matrix!
Would you support a RICO action against the Clinton Machine and Anti-Trust legislation against the Media Monopolies? Other than hundreds of arrests some night in a kind of putsch, there can be no change for the better.
We now know that Trump is strongly pro-Jewish and pro-Israel. Are the countless American Jews who slandered him going to be held to account and pressured to apologize? Explain your answer.
Given that there are 6 million Jews in America, I would be very surprised if all of them were paragons of virtue – after all, they are only human. However, just like any group of people, most Jews are good. If 99% were good, that would leave 60,000 bad ones. Using the same percentage, there must be 3.2 million bad Americans.
To answer your question, you are comparing apples to oranges in the sense that you are trying to equate politics with religion in the same equation. Regardless, the answer is yes to really investigating the Clintons, their people and their bribees and prosecuting them to the full extent of the law if it can be proven they did wrongdoing (even though we know what they did, it still has to be proven), regardless of their religious affiliation.
And.no to apologizing for their anti-Trumpism. It is their right. When many Christian anti-Trumpers begin apologizing, come back to me and then ask the question. Don’t single out Jews.
I’ll throw it back to you: if and when Trump messes up, will you apologize for supporting him?
beantownbill. to Janos: “Don’t single out Jews.”
You might as well ask Janos to breathe water. Bigots gonna bigot.
Jews are a People far more than they are a religion. You know that since you don’t believe or practice yet continue to call yourself a Jew. Now that we’ve put that canard to rest, the fact remains: American Jewry launched an extraordinary attack on Trump that is still continuing. Your bar is very high now: it’s not enough for a White to be pro-Jewish, he has to be anti-White.
Are you sure this is a wise policy for the six million to take?
What is with ‘6 million’???
Is 6 sacred?
Yeah, anything to keep throwing this Kabbalistic number in our face.
Not sure about the details of the Irish. They tested very low for Western Europe (93). It would be very interesting if that has come up. I assume the Irish American IQ is the normal Western European one, or close anyway.
That’s a very perceptive post, Bill. It’s a pleasure to see that other people are aware of what’s going on, it gives me hope.

Janos, your thoughts on Fred’s latest essay;
http://fredoneverything.org/
Interesting. Mexico and Latin America are easily explained: Whites and near Whites keep it all going to the extent it does go. Thus the Dominican Republic is in a far better state than Haiti which killed all its Whites and doesn’t like light skinned Blacks either.
But the Irish IQ has gone up and Jewish IQ down? Maybe there is more to it if true. Epigenetics, or the effect of environment on gene expression, may be more powerful than previously imagined. Nothing can be done for those that don’t have it begin with though. Blacks will remain in the stygian darkness that is their nature and destiny.
Some say the smart Irish left. And the low IQ ones remained.
What is Irish American IQ?
Anybody see the bags/luggage/steamer trunks on Mad Dog Mattis during today’s grilling?
Yes, from the looks of him he definitely could use either some more sleep, a less nagging spouse, or possibly some Christle Brinkley’s eye cream:

(Christie continues to be one of the world’s most beautiful women, but on 20 January, when we have a new First Lady, Melania Trump will take the title of the world’s most famous AND beautiful woman. “Beauty Boys” are on notice!)
Getting back to General Mattis……I do not give a damn how that Marine looks, but he used the word “lethality” with an insouciance that leads me to trust he is not one to fuck around one bit when it comes to military matters – and in the “war business” that is all that counts.
Hell Yeah!! He has promised to honor the agreement Obama made with Iran and he said, and I quote, “if NATO didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it.” I will have a blog post up shortly entitled Call InventHelp dealing with this most revelatory statement.
Per his testimony before the Nominating Committee, he believes Putin is trying to undermine NATO and he will not let that happen on his watch and he believes Putin is someone who needs to be taken to the woodshed.
All of that is in complete defiance of Trump’s rhetoric and campaign promises. It’s going to be real interesting watching all of these contradictions shake out, yesireebob, you bet ya!!!
Nope, didn’t see it. I have no idea what you;re talking about.
All the time I’m thinking about the Cotton Club. Brilliant movie!
After the “Dead Zone” it is now my favorite movie. And more and more I am coming to the conclusion that this film is not a history of a Cabaret in Harlem of the 20-x, but the brilliant foresight by Coppola of the seizure of power in the United States by Hillary Clinton, which we have been witnessing for the past six months. Up to Harlem, where she began her attack on the White House, and Moscow.
Apparently, someone in The Commission (New York mafia) asked Coppola to make this film for its people in order to make them resistant to the Clinton propaganda, but for the benefit of the outside viewer it got a totally wacky ending in the spirit of a carnival.
And in fact, here’s the real end of the movie, its catharsis in the spirit of Shakespeare’s tragedy that predicted in 1984 what we are seeing in the US today. If of course one does not shy away from quite obvious analogy between Hillary and Dutch Schultz, the more so that eventually she became like him superficially, especially the famous leaden gaze of the Dutchman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MphGg_lxbY0
Judging from the description, Hillary’s eyes were exactly like that even back in the days when she was just a university beauty and part-time agent Deep Throat. And I think that Coppola knew her personally as the head of organized crime of Arkansas and filming this movie, was referring to her.
The bullets that killed Dutch Schultz were made of silver.

I didn’t see this, but I think Obama bounding down the steps without the use of a handrail is fucking awesome. I will give Obama credit where credit is due. He exudes an image of vitality. He’s fresh, witty, articulate, handsome and fit as a fiddle. He’s the Anti-Trump. He is, from the perspective of image at least, all things Trump isn’t. Obama could whip Trump in a race. He could whip his ass in basketball, but not golf or croquet. He could whip Trump in a boxing match dancing around him like Ali floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. It amazes me the image White people have settled on as their answer to the Muslim Invader Obama. White people are so fucking dumb, aren’t they? What a bunch of doofuses. Seriously, people? Donald Trump? DONALD TRUMP? This is Janos’ answer? At least Hitler wasn’t a fat fucking slob with an orange entity atop his head that hasn’t yet been studied, identified and classified by the scientific community. If Trump is the last great White Hope, and I believe he is, White people are toast. Burnt toast. Done. Over. Throw the dirt on top and speak the spoken magic spells and be done with it.
Seriously though, as if that wasn’t serious, wrap your head around the Dems running Decrepit Frail Hillary after the Vitality of Obama. They’re not stupid. They knew what the result would be. But they did it anyway. Why? They threw it. They stood by as this Slob stole the election that was handed to him. Why? The Simpleton’s response is that they are so blinded by their incompetence and corruption that they just couldn’t see it. Bullshit. They knew. And they let it happen. Trump is a set-up for something much larger. Just you wait and see.

The BOTOX® disqualifies Putin from the competition, but there is no doubt in my mind Obama is a much better lover than Putin could ever hope to be — as if Putin would ever hope to be.
Obama is a much better lover? Gay?
If you’re asking whether or not you’re gay, I’d say more than likely you are and you’ve never come to grips with it. It’s alright if you are. Come out of the closet and free yourself from your torment.
The Simpleton’s response is that they are so blinded by their incompetence and corruption that they just couldn’t see it. Bullshit. They knew. And they let it happen.

Hmmm…. Im not sure Cold?
Methinks thou giveth them too much credit?
For example,
in the drug dealing game the 1st commandment is:
“Don’t get high on your own supply.”
Hillary, Obama, the media, academia, hollywood…. they were all smoking their own product.
Couldn’t you tell?
And don’t forget, the system made it so difficult to OPENLY support Trump, that many white people just lied so they could avoid being attacked/assaulted, slandered, dressed down, called on the carpet….
but in the privacy of the voting booth…
Trump is in his 70’s – and amazed everyone with his vitality on the campaign trail. He has an extraordinary physique and could have snapped Obama in two in his youth and middle age. I agree that Black are often more graceful than Whites and Obama is no exception. Nature or nurture? A bit of both perhaps? They’re good at it naturally, therefore they focus on it culturally?
In Bali, grace and economy of movement are valued. Parents stand behind their children, teaching them to only move their head and not their body to look at something – and only move their eyes not their head if they don’t have to. And the artist is not a special person but rather every person is a special kind of artist. Montessori is not needed there, but it is needed in the Arab world.
Q. Shtik said: Ohhhhh, OK, now I get it. I can be pretty thick sometimes.
Sometimes? I can attest to the fact that you are thick ALL THE TIME. A permanent state of thickness, in fact. How thick are you? Why, you’re as thick as Putin’s ex-wife’s Cankles — and that’s pretty fucking thick.
Time to get rid of the myth that Trump is a lone hero, and that he’ll be eaten tomorrow with new Watergate, impeachment, or the use of the 25 Amendment.
Trump – a phenomenon created by people who have a lot of money, a lot of influence, a lot of experience and whose hands are up to shoulders in blood.
By contrast, just imagine what Trump can put on the other plate of the scales after the inauguration. Starting from the Clinton “ServerGate” and ending with the opening of investigation into procurement by ISIS of US weapons paid for by US taxpayers.
Best post of yours!!!!
“… just imagine what Trump can put on the other plate of the scales after the inauguration. Starting from the Clinton “ServerGate” and ending with the opening of investigation into procurement by ISIS of US weapons paid for by US taxpayers.”
Finca,
This is probably one of the most critically thought out couple of sentences you’ve ever posted here.
IF Trump can can keep his big mouth shut; hold his cards close to his vest; OR lie like hell, he’ll have a jolly old time prosecuting a bunch of entrenched govt. assholes to the fullest extent of Duh Law.
…Further, this is why the press is so adamant about “leading the witness” in trying to get him to make statements that will paint him into a corner, and be used later as a cudgel. (This clip is pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHol4–tC3s)
In other words, keeping his own council would be his best strategy for the time being. (It’s going to be interesting to see if he can/will do it.)
I have stock in this company. They’re selling like Hot Cakes. Putin could use one. Maybe I’ll send him one as a token of appreciation for delivering us his Quisling. He’s given SNL, if we’re lucky, another eight years of material. Otherwise, that franchise may have closed its doors for good.

Man Love At Its Finest
Triple kisses. During Easter, it is customary for Russians to greet each other with three kisses – one on each cheek, and one extra – and say the words “Khristos Voskres” (??????? ???????) which means Christ is Risen. The reply is “Voistinu Voskres” (???????? ???????) – Truly Risen. The tradition of kissing three times is thought to be symbolic of the Holy trinity and in the 17th century followed a specific tradition of first kissing the icon of Jesus and Mother Mary, then kissing the priest and then embracing your friends and family. Beyond Christian meaning, the three kisses also symbolize belief, hope and love.

The Senate voted against keeping the Preexisting Condition clause of the Affordable Care Act in repealing it in defiance of Trump’s promise. It was one of the positive features of that legislation and they voted against it. The people who voted for Trump are so fucking screwed, including my brother-in-law who is battling Multiple Myeloma and his medical expenses are staggering. It’s not just people who were subsidized under the Affordable Care Act who are going to be without insurance, it’s everyone with a preexisting condition, and if you think about it, and consider how unhealthy most Americans are, who the fuck doesn’t have a preexisting condition these days?

Cold,
With all respect, it is your responsibility to defend yourself and the lives of your family…there does not have to be a “zombie apocalypse” scenario, just mindless thugs intent upon preying on you and your well-being…and trust me, those thugs exist in great number.
The police would love to help you during a home-invasion, however, a 15+ minute response time begs a more proactive approach on your part.
One does not need an arsenal, a brace of black guns, etc. to feel adequate to the task…a pump shotgun, or 6 shot revolver is quite sufficient.
I know. I said that somewhat with tongue in cheek. I’m strongly considering it. I’m certainly much closer to pulling the trigger (pun intended) than I was ten years ago. My daughter recently was shooting with her boyfriend and his family and she reported she was a natural shot and in fact hit more targets than any of them. They were thoroughly impressed and so am I. I gave birth to a contemporary Annie Oakley. She’s a tough gal. She’s beautiful, but she’s also tough as nails. I raised her to not take any shit from anyone, especially men. The problem with that is, she gives me hell, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
don’t forget to remind her that the penis mightier than the sword.
Q has asked Janos to respond to Fred’s blog regarding IQ testing/effects/validity. Permit me;
I was always under the impression that IQ measurement was an attempt to measure an individual’s ability to learn. This narrow construct, when applied, may have some cause and effect validity.
Asian “tiger mothers” value education, and their culture prizes knowledge…the Asians, reputedly score high on the tests. The same applies to all Asian and East Asian countries…India included.
Black American culture does not necessarily value education, for various reasons, and American Blacks measure very low on the relative scale.
We have all known people, of varied races, who we considered “slow”, or unable to learn, and also those we might have considered a peer, or even superior.
I believe that the ability to learn is, indeed, genetic in part, but has not yet been effectively quantified and testing ill designed…and there is no doubt in my mind that culture is significant in the development, as an exterior variable, the ability to learn.
See ‘The Bell Curve’ and then decide.
I look at a nation or a culture and decide what the IQ [average] might be of the race that built that land.
And all asian countries do not score high on IQ tests.
All Black nations do score low.
Ugh. Alfred Binet wept…
Presumably you know who Alfred Binet was? He did the original work that became the IQ test as we know it. His goal was to identify kids who were significantly lower in performance, so that teachers could work with them to do better.
In other words, the goal was to help kids succeed. But his work has long been misused as an ideological weapon against them, and against disfavoured populations generally. Cut it out.
Elrond,
So, how is it used as a weapon against under-performing populations?
Not under-performing populations. Disfavoured populations. You could hardly ask for a better example than what malthuss wrote above: he goes about trying to fit numbers into a picture he already thinks he understands.
The line of specious reasoning goes like this:
1. Start out with the idea already in mind that there are differences between populations.
2. Then go looking for examples of differences among those populations, using IQ or whatever measure you like.
3. When you see something that seems like a difference between populations, attribute it to essential or intrinsic properties of the respective populations.
Step 1 is a fundamental error. The scientifically valid approach is to assume the null hypothesis, i.e. that there is no difference among populations. Then you collect data and test it to see if it contradicts the null hypothesis to a high degree of confidence. If it does, that’s how you know you’re on to something and not just chasing figments of your imagination. That’s basic science, as applicable to quantum physics as to human beings.
If the data do tell you there’s a difference, step 3 is another error. There are all kinds of reasons why things are the way they are, so you need to investigate further. Aristotle said that objects fall because they tend to move toward their natural place. This non-explanation held sway for 2,000 years until Galileo actually did measurements and noticed that things really don’t work the way Aristotle said. This simple maneuver led to the further insights of Newton and Einstein and changed the world forever. That’s the power of actually doing science.
False reasoning like steps 1-3 above has real-world consequences. Take the people of Flint, Michigan for example. If I follow the steps above, I might end up concluding they are just generally stupider and congratulate myself for my insight. If I use actual science, on the other hand, I have to find an explanation for the difference, which means I just might find out that lead in the drinking water is causing enormous harm. Then I can do something about it. I’d call some of the bigoted comments people make about Flint and other situations on this blog a pretty clear example of false reasoning being “used as a weapon against under-performing populations”.
Black American culture does not necessarily value education,

Another swamp that need to be drained. These secret Agencies have gotten to big for their britches. The bitches need to be taken down a few notches. They are not the Government of the United States and they answer to elected officials, not vice versa.
“Elected officials” — Janos of all people appealing to democratic authority? *Bronx cheer*
Janos, you have often stated that you would be just fine with a government with few if any voters, yourself included, provided that they shared your bigotries and skin colour. You would be less laughable if you were at least consistent.
The People are represented by their elected officials – elected by those competent to judge. It all fits together L Ron. Bad Elites have to be replaced by good ones that serve the People.
Your idea of no Elite is silly and leads directly to Tyranny orchestrated by those who control the mob. This has been understood for thousands of years, but you still don’t get it.
One needs to be careful when playing with those spooky folks.
One might inadvertently catch a 115 gr. morsel of Pb in the ol’ noggin.

One could wind up in an embassy in Benghazi (during an Yzlamist riot) or found in a Brazzaville dumpster. Like in the real estate bidness location, location, location.
One might even have an accident with a pillow in a remote ranch bedroom. Ask the late-Justice Antonin Scalia. (Who owns that ranch?…a former National Security Advisor? Hmmmmmmmm)
Always be careful when taking candy from spoiled children.
One of the things that I have noticed as I journey through life, is that people filter reality through their beliefs. They don’t try to examine what is happening in a neutral fashion, but instead bend things to fit their own preconceived ideas. It doesn’t matter which side they support, be it liberal or conservative, they bend it to fit the way they want it to. This fact alone explains the state of affairs that now exists. The failure to recognize the craziness that is out there, practically guarantees the chaos that will follow. I understand that nothing is going to change in this regard, people being the way that they are now and throughout history, therefore I have no choice but to prepare for what will inevitably follow. The powers that be on both sides, take advantage of this human condition, and push their own agenda (to the detriment of the people), with no regard except for the benefits that will accrue to their own side. We are being played, folks, and the sooner we wake up to that fact, the better . Having become a cynic, not by choice but by circumstances, I do not expect a sudden national awakening which will somehow throw ALL of these motherfuckers out, and allow us to continue in a way that benefits the people. I could say a lot more, but I hate to read long-winded posts, and will not subject you to another one. I am Captain Spaulding.
“One of the things that I have noticed as I journey through life, is that people filter reality through their beliefs. They don’t try to examine what is happening in a neutral fashion, but instead bend things to fit their own preconceived ideas.”
Capt,
How else would you expect? People judge the environment through their past experiences, education and belief structure. Is there any other way? Are you asking for “objectivity”, and if so, who’s?
I would expect that a nation of homogeneous population, would develop a culture that would formulate those “pre-conceived” ideas to conform with the general ethos of the population, hence concurrence, and reality would be filtered through that ethos. A nation that is not homogeneous will have groups of disparate thought, and…resulting friction. Does your reality accept that OJ was innocent?
For the third time I have to ask…are you aware that “Capt. Spaulding” was a foil for the Marx Brothers in one of their movies? Was your choice accidental, or referencing the character in “Animal Crackers”?
I understand what you are saying, but if you read enough and are thoughtful, you can overcome a lot of pre-conceived notions. I know that I have prejudices and opinions, but the knowledge that I have them helps to set them aside from time to time while trying to understand other people’s ideas. Sometimes I don’t like what I find out, but have been compelled to accept it anyway. People need to be more introspective, which is a habit that I don’t see much of from the majority of people. They develop opinions but never examine the reasons why. Capt. Spaulding is also a character in several Rob Zombie movies. Both characters appeal to me for different reasons at different times.
Well said, capt spaulding. I commend you on your commitment to lifelong growth. I respect you for it. I have made the same commitment and as part of that commitment I decided to depart from, and no longer contribute to, the tyrannical malevolence that is Corporate World. It’s a large part of the Mechanism that holds all this willful ignorance in place and thus perpetuates the Status Quo. Like you, I know so many people, many of them who post to this comments section, who are quite literally stuck in time, meaning they have ceased to grow and learn. In that sense, their reaction to anything is highly scripted every bit as much as the Hosts in Westworld and the Guests who visit. You are correct, introspection is crucial and so too is retrospection and foresight and prescience. They all manifest and flourish when you commit to a life of intellectual and psychical growth. As you note, most people don’t care to make this commitment. They are content in their cozy little Comfort Bubbles, but the problem is, despite their Comfort Bubbles, they’re increasingly not comfortable and cozy and the System that has engendered the creation of the stuck-in-time Comfort Bubbles is responsible for formulating the Comfort Bubble Buffoons’ reaction and response to the Reality that is piercing their Comfort Bubbles. If they had committed to a life of growth, they would see the System for what it is, or at least a close approximation of it, and would not be so easily led around by the nose. Like you, I don’t see it being any other way. I agree, there will be no Mass Awakening and renewed commitment to lifelong growth. All we can do is watch and comment and survive so long as survival is worthwhile.
I commend you on your commitment to lifelong growth. I respect you for it. I have made the same commitment and as part of that commitment I decided to depart from, and no longer contribute to, the tyrannical malevolence that is Corporate World. – Cold to Capt Spaulding

“Black American culture does not necessarily value education…” –elysianfield
Blacks were denied access to education. Maybe you are not old enough, but I still remember Blacks wanting education so badly they had to brave police dogs, they had to be escorted by national guard troops. And believe me, the environment once there was not one of inclusion. In spite of white racist attempts to deny education to Blacks, even under those circumstances, Blacks fought and won the right to an education.
Since 1994, black enrollment has doubled at institutions that primarily grant associate degrees, including community colleges. In 2013, black students accounted for 16 percent of the student body there, versus 11 percent in 1994.
Universities focusing on bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees also broadly saw gains, with blacks making up 14 percent of the population, compared to 11 percent in 1994.
The statistics do not back up your claim, elysianfield.
According to NCES, the percentage of U.S. college students who are black increased from 10 to 15 percent from 1976 to 2012, while the percentage of white students among all U.S. college students fell from 84 to 60 percent.
White enrollment fell from 84% to 60% so why aren’t you saying education is not appreciated in American white culture?
By both race and gender, a higher percentage of Black women (9.7 percent) are enrolled in college than any other group, topping Asian women (8.7 percent), white women (7.1 percent) and white men (6.1 percent).
Black women are leading whites and Asians. They do value education.
Black women are leading whites and Asians. They do value education.
****************************************
No they don’t.
Because Janet,
like I asked up thread:
“education” in order to do what?
This is the key difference between black people and white people:
White person: “To know and dominate everything in the known universe.”
Black person: “Whatever it is you tell me to do?”
This is what children are taught, and as a consequence its the most comfortable ARRANGEMENT for the most amount of people.
How do I know?
I can tell by how confused people get when they forget to play their positions.
Kinda like you Janet.
tee hee hee……janet gets bushwacked by thwack.
A bushwack is not an intelligent evidence-based argument.
Thwack has asked “education for what?” without realizing that whether one is Black, Asian, or white, the reasons for education are the same.
Why do these mopes, the usual suspects, keep calling WPASoka “Janet”?
Why do you always go ad hominem? Maybe you are a white racist and unable to respond to facts and figures?
“a higher percentage of Black women (9.7 percent) are enrolled in college than any other group, topping Asian women (8.7 percent), white women (7.1 percent) and white men (6.1 percent)”
You think that was an attack?
I can make it worse?
Don’t raise no petard you can’t afford to be hung from.
http://www.blackgirltragic.com/
Thwack, you still offer no substantive comment, just empty threats. You got nothing. Elysianfield made a racist comment without knowing what he was talking about, generalizing from anecdotes (which is what racists do) instead of looking at hard data.
BLACKS VALUE EDUCATION MORE THAN WHITES.
According to NCES, the percentage of U.S. college students who are black increased from 10 to 15 percent from 1976 to 2012, while the percentage of white students among all U.S. college students fell from 84 to 60 percent.
They just needed racist whites to stop denying them access to public universities. When opportunity was provided Blacks took advantage because Black American culture values education. Whole families sacrificed and young women like Michelle Obama were eager to get an education once Jim Crow white racist roadblocks were removed.
By both race and gender, a higher percentage of BLACK WOMEN (9.7 percent) are enrolled in college than any other group, topping Asian women (8.7 percent), white women (7.1 percent) and white men (6.1 percent).
“Blacks were denied access to education. Maybe you are not old enough, but I still remember”
Janet,
That was then, this is now. Three generations of civil rights legislation, busing, billions spent…you cannot tell me that Blacks value education…their culture, their single parent households, their peer pressure not to sound or act “white”, AND the testimony of many, many teachers who have made the attempt to teach in inner city schools gives lie to your excuse…I mean comment. There are those blacks who, despite all the roadblocks in their path, achieve an education…God Bless Them. There are Blacks who cannot overcome the issues, or are a part of them…who actively destroy any environment where learning can be achieved….they are, unfortunately, a majority.
Please do not throw worthless statistics into your argument, many results generated towards a political end…they are meaningless. and without attendant methodology, I reject them. Blacks underperform, for a variety of reasons, some perhaps intrinsic, some not.

RACIST CORRUPT POLICE ROUTINELY VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS
CHICAGO ? The Chicago Police Department regularly violates citizens’ civil rights, routinely fails to hold officers accountable for misconduct and poorly trained officers at all levels, according to a sweeping Justice Department probe of the nation’s second-largest police department.
The report examined not just the on-the-street actions of the police department, but its institutional practices like training, accountability and discipline: The city’s police shot at fleeing suspects who posed no immediate threat, failed to accurately document and review when officers used force and relied on training that is decades out of date.
The findings echo those of an April 2016 report released by Chicago’s then-new Police Accountability Task Force, which emphasized that the police department must face a “painful but necessary reckoning” that includes acknowledging its racist history and its consequent legacy of corruption and mistrust ? particularly between the department and the minority communities it polices.
Elysianfield wants to know why all police are racist. Turns out they are not all racist, only 98% are… The Justice Dept. found that less than 2 percent of more than 30,000 misconduct complaints over five years were sustained. 98% systematic, institutionalized police racism.
So the next time you have a problem, call the NAACP or ACLU….or maybe start packing and solve your own problems.
You don’t get it, nsa. Many police are the problem. Arming the police with guns engenders more gun violence than it prevents. Many (most?) police departments in the USA have been militarized and instead of “protect and serve” they are more like occupiers. Officers on patrol should consider themselves to be guardians of citizens, who should be easily approachable.
There are far fewer incidents of deadly clashes between police and suspected criminals when police are unarmed. I would feel much better if our police did not carry any lethal weapons. There are five (5) countries where most police officers do not carry firearms… and it works well. I choose to stay here and work toward that goal locally.
An unarmed society is a polite society.

Janet,
Please read your post carefully…do the math, and tell me how you came to your conclusion of the 2% not being racist…
And you wonder why I reject your statistics…and your excuses that pose as arguments.
And Janet, again, if 98% are racist, and are either hired for their racism or become racist due to working with the demographic in question…how, then, can a society protect it’s more vulnerable citizens?

PUTIN BEGINS TO SEE BENEFITS FROM HIS PUPPET
In excerpts from an hourlong interview published by the Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump said: “If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?”
Trump suggested he might do away with the sanctions – imposed by the Obama administration in late December in response to Moscow’s alleged cyber attacks – if Moscow proves helpful in battling terrorists and reaching other goals important to Washington, the Journal reported.
RETURN OF THE KGB ‘HONEY TRAP’?
Brit spy at centre of Trump ‘dirty dossier’ rumpus was taught secrets of Putin’s sex tape stings by Russian defector murdered by radioactive tea.
Christopher Steele was briefed by Litvinenko on the Kremlin’s use of hidden cameras during the pair’s ‘several’ meetings in London. The Brit spy alleged to have written the Trump ‘dirty dossier’ learned the secrets behind Putin’s infamous sex tape stings from assassinated spy Alexander Litvinenko.
The Sun has learned that former spook Christopher Steele was briefed on the Kremlin’s use of hidden cameras during his ‘several’ meetings with the Russian defector.
Steele reportedly wrote the widely discredited document which contained lurid allegations against President-elect Trump.
The bogus claims were given credence by the US intelligence agencies because of Russia’s long history of using ‘compromising’ footage from illicit ‘honey traps’ against its enemies.
Source say Litvinenko told Steele about the dark arts of Russian espionage before he was killed by radioactive tea at a Mayfair hotel in 2006.

============
When President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the Kremlin “does not engage in compromising material” … it was widely greeted by the rolling of Russian eyes.
Gathering “kompromat,” the Russian word for potentially embarrassing information that can offer leverage, has a long history reaching back to Soviet days.
I hope Trump has an official tea taster. Trump hopes the tapes Putin has never become public. And they won’t as long as the Trump puppet does what he is told… adios sanctions!
When about 2 years ago, when I first started posting here, I said that Russia and US-Russian relationship will play a major role in the lives of Americans, I bet nobody believed me.
You are familiar with “kompromat” of KGB? Putin has KGB history? Trump’s golden shower video in Moscow hotel not a problem?
It is a prerogative of Western culture to be fascinated with everything that happens below the belt. Putin is an Orthodox leader and would not go anywhere near that dirt.
You are familiar with “kompromat” …?
============
Yes, I am.
When you visit Russia it is advisable to NOT send your dirty clothes out for washing via the Hotel (it is very expensive) but rather do the washing yourself at a “kompromat.” Kompro means laundry in Russian. I think Finca will confirm this.

2016 WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR ENERGY: KEEP IT IN THE GROUND
Global carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels did not grow at all in 2016. It’s the third year in a row emissions have flatlined.
Thanks to rapid technological innovation and political support from around the world, renewables now account for more newly installed capacity than any other form of electricity in the world, including coal…
The Chinese government placed a ban on new coal mines, created new rules for grid access and doubled its renewables targets for 2020.
India announced it won’t need any new coal plants for the next three years because it’s flush with generation capacity.
In April 2016, the UK’s Chatham House released a report saying “Big Oil is screwed.”
In the same month, 25% of European countries announced that they had quit coal.
The BRICS New Development Bank approved $1 billion in renewables investments in China, Brazil, South Africa and India.
In 2016 Costa Rica ran solely on renewable energy for over 100 days. Now it’s aiming for an entire year with no fossil fuels.
In July 2016, the USA, Mexico and Canada committed to getting 50 per cent of their electricity from renewables by 2025.
MORE GOOD ENERGY NEWS IN 2016
China installed 20GW of solar in the first half of 2016, three times as much as during the same period a year ago.
In October, the International Energy Agency reported that half a million solar panels were installed each day around the world in 2015. It also drastically increased its five year growth forecast for renewables.
In the same month, 197 countries agreed to drastically reduce their use of HFCs, and the International Civil Aviation Organisation agreed to measures to combat the impact of flying on greenhouse gas emissions.
The world’s biggest offshore wind farm received the go ahead for its second phase.
Mexico announced $6 billion in renewables investments, Argentina $2.7 billion, Scotland connected underwater turbines to its grid for the first time, and solar energy generated more power than coal in the United Kingdom.
In November, India unveiled the world’s largest solar power plant, and revealed that it is now on track to be the world’s third biggest solar market in 2017.
And in the same month, the United Kingdom agreed to phase out coal by 2025, France said it would get there by 2023, and Germany promised to reduce emissions by 95% by 2050.
THE GREEN TRANSITION IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES (IF YOU ARE NOT WEARING DOOM-COLORED GLASSES)
MORE IMMIGRANTS AND LESS CRIME IN NETHERLANDS
Net migration for the first half of 2016 was twice as high as last year resulting in the Dutch population experiencing its highest growth rate since 2001, with Syrian migrants making up more than 30% of the growth, the Dutch Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS) reported.
Crime rates in the Netherlands plummeted in 2016, with total recorded crime shrinking by 25% in the last eight years. One third of the country’s prison cells are now empty.
Phone call to Netherlands Police Emergency:
“Help!!! I am being raped by the band of migrants!!”
“Please relax and try to get some pleasure…”
“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
– Mark Twain
I guess the Dutch politicians are trying to show Washington that they can be just as cowardly as the Germans and Swedes. Stats only count if they serve the “right” political purposes. Namely, the Kalergi Plan.
Finca has it right. A crime isn’t a crime if it isn’t handled as one. That is how a crime doesn’t show up on stats.
At what point does the right of self-preservation override a hostile legal structure – thus compelling White Europeans to vomit out the poison and “THOSE” who administer it?

US tanks, soldiers arrive in Poland
More than 3,000 American soldiers, along with tanks and armored vehicles, began arriving in Poland Thursday, the BBC reported.
http://www.politico.eu/article/us-tanks-soldiers-arrive-in-poland/
Rand Corporation estimated that after the first 10 days of deployment of Russian Western Military District and NATO forces in Europe, the configuration will be as follows:
Tanks: 7:1
APCs 5:1
Artillery Units: 4:1
Multiple Rocket Launch Systems 16:1
Anti-aircraft systems (short range): 24:1
Anti-aircraft systems (long range): 17:1
Combat Planes: 1:2
So, NATO would have advantage only in combat planes, which would be neutralised by Russian superiority in Anti-aircraft systems.
Does Russia have the political will to use it’s advantage?
Based on what the Ministry of Truth is telling us about Russian involvement in Syria, it doesn’t appear as though Russia is trying to establish a dominant presence that is designed to intimidate. Unless the Russian Bear reasserts its right to hold sway over its side of the globe, then the ZOG-NATO imperial war machine will challenge via proxy. That will drain away Russia’s street cred and Moscow’s play at power will fall short.
Syria is an unstable client from which to project Russian power. Plus, it is stupid for Russia to keep so much naval power bottled up in the Black Sea. The Bosporus and Dardanelles can be mined and bottled up all too easily. Putin should approach Egyptian President Sisi about leasing a huge tract of land along Egypt’s north shore for the purpose of building a massive Russian base (Army, Navy, and Air Force) and logistical support for its bases in Syria. Moscow will never keep ZOG-NATO in check without such a base.
I must admit, it is a very good post. One has to appreciate especially the part about Wal-Mart being the town square. Priceless! Cold… If I May go back to the topic of who, I presume, is your lady who works with children at the school and they tell her they love her, you better hang onto her. A lady who works with children is lovely indeed. There was an experiment conducted with small monkeys by Harlow several decades ago. One monkey was an orphan. When the orphan monkey was placed in a cage with a wirror monkey mother that held a bottle of milk and another monkey mother made of soft Terry cloth, the monkey consistently chose the warm Terry cloth monkey with no milk. Does positive human contact (love)matter. It sure may.
Somebody wrote about Pavlov’ s dog above so I’m just saying. We are supposedly mammals. One could believe sometimes that animals are my human than we are.
barb, I plan on hanging on to her. If I made it this far, the rest is cake. This March we will be married 25 years and our relationship has weathered many storms in life thus far. We’re best friends. In fact, we are truly the only friends we really have. We understand each other that well and care for one another that much. And yes, she is lovely. She is so incredible with children, it’s a beautiful sight to behold. She brings out the best in them. She’s magical. I compare her to Hillary Clinton or Kellyanne Conway, and I realize my wife is a million times more powerful & empowered than those two, and many women like them, could ever hope to be. My wife doesn’t have to pretend to be a Man to be empowered and powerful. Her power & empowerment flows organically and naturally from her untarnished feminine essence and mystique — something this System seeks to destroy & replace.

Trump is correct when he calls CNMN Fake News. The entire Mainstream Media, to include Fox, is Fake News. We need no further proof than how easily these Anchors make a switch between ideologically opposed Networks. John Roberts made the switch to Fox News not too long ago from CNN and his migration has been seamless, as though he was always with Fox and he fits right in within its Conservative Confines. He’s not alone — many have made the same switch within the last several years and their migration has been equally seamless. Now the “Bleeder” Megyn Kelly is at the Liberal NBC and Greta Van Susteren is now at MSNBC. The fact they can make this switch so easily shows it’s all Propaganda and they’re Propagandists who can change their Propaganda Suits at will as easily as you I can change our shirt and pants. In fact, I’d say the Mainstream Media is worst than news stories that are completely contrived, because the Mainstream Media pretends to be, and sells itself as, legitimate when it is no such thing.
worse
American ‘news’ outlets it seems have long since given up any pretense of delivering the news in a politically neutral fashion. The last person who, I thought, remained above the fray was John Chancellor.

Bringing in millions of “Syrian Refugees” is an act of unspeakable hatred. Yeats was right: the Center cannot hold. America has to die so Cold’s wife can have a Montessori School.
The Conservative Gentleman, Greta’s husband, is doing far better by helping them in their own lands instead of stealing from Americans to help them here where they would created carnage of all kinds.
Overnight, the US Treasury sent a report on revenue and expenditure in December. Trump got an excellent fairing from Obama.
https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsreports/rpt/mthTreasStmt/mts1216.pdf
Income revenues of the US budget in December was 91.3% of December of the last year – the worst monthly drop in % that happened since January 2010. In dollars it fell by $30.4 billion – after the September 2009 worse was only last April, when the budget crisis renewed.
The fall occurred in 7 out of the last 10 months, which has not happened since January 2010. The first time it happened early in the first wave of the crisis in September 2008.

S.c. law says whoever owns it is responsible and Trump’S now saying he doesn’t have anything to do with it and wants the citizens to pay for the cleAn up. Thats the New president. Turns out I’m not alone in my distaste for Trump. Seen the latest Quinnipiac poll results. It May be trite but ecccchhhhh.

I haven’t seen the poll you reference but I wouldn’t be surprised at the results you hint at. Quinnipiac is a liberal hotbed as is its nearby neighbor, Yale. Further, the Quinnipiac student body is 61% female. When I worked out of an office in Hamden, CT (1970 – 1971) where Quinn is located the school was mostly, if not all, women. The liberal female influence persists.
BTW, you have a serious punctuation and upper case vs lower case problem in your writing. You should work on fixing it, IMHO.

Q. Shtik said: …except for the Corporations that provide the electronic devices by which I communicate, along with the entire related infrastructure, electric utilities, my car, the clothes on my back and the food from the supermarket that our family consumes, etc., etc.
Your lesson, Class, is to discuss the logical fallacy Q. Shtik is utilizing here. It’s wrong on so many levels, but, Q. Shtik is an example of someone who has never committed to a life of growth. He’s content in his Comfort Bubble. One wonders why he’s here commenting in this comment section at all. My guess is he’s bored and he feels a need to fuck with people — something he’s done zealously well his entire life. It’s what he lives for (that, and to watch the fickle & fictitious vicissitudes of the Stock Market 24/7) — it charges his batteries, so to speak. How admirable. He’s not much more than a semi-sentient meat sack with a microcephalic thing he calls his brain positioned atop that deteriorating meat sack like a pea proudly preening atop a pile of milquetoast mashed potatoes.
Hahaha…….if I didn’t know better I’d almost think you were trying to insult me.
BTW, I especially like “fickle & fictitious vicissitudes.” It’s what I call internal alliteration.
The irony is, so what if Russia has Kompromat on Trump? As we have seen, Trump is more teflon than teflon. Nothing sticks to him. He lies with impunity. He insults with impunity. He can grab pussy any time he likes and brag about if with impunity. We’re to believe, considering this ridiculous spectacle, that Russia could possibly compromise him with damaging information? Come on, grow a fucking brain people. Golden Showers, even if true, aren’t going to bring Trump down. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was proven to be true, if his female supporters started peeing on each other in public in support of him.
How Low Can They Go?
He lies with impunity. He insults with impunity. He can grab pussy any time he likes and brag about if with impunity.

Don’t forget his fifth grade vocabulary?
Sometimes I think Trumps appeal is based on our fascination with such niggerish behavior coming from what for all practical purposes is basically an old white man?
I think it helps us all get in touch with our inner pimp?
Blacks usually live down to expectations. You don’t disappoint. Yes, you are an eloquent fellow – eloquent enough to clear communicate how primitive you are.
You remind of one time I was eating in a soup kitchen. The Black next to me was going on and on about how well spoken he was. He then told one of the servers that her young son (who was also serving) looked just like a woman. It was hilarious to watch this Liberal fool’s face turn from eager excitement from talking with a Black to utter disgust.
Kompromat Cold, you lack imagination. What Putin has makes golden showers just the tip of the pissberg. Putin prudently prefers his puppet, and does not prefer President Pence. We’ll see if Putin can rescue Trump from impeachment. Kompromat.
If ISIS didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it
You did.
Captain Spaulding writes nonsense (Jan 3, 2:27 pm) and Ozone applauds it: “If you can’t discern what’s going on without filtering it through own belief system, and letting your desires affect your judgement, you have a real problem.”
In advising the readers of CFN to give up their belief systems for the sake of discovering the truth, Captain Spaulding is giving advice to me.
Some of the beliefs I’ll have to abandon:
That a bowl of steamed broccoli is less destructive of one’s health than a slab of chocolate cake
That totalitarianism is not a synonym for democracy
That when I wake up in the morning my bed will not have shifted its location from my apartment bedroom to the middle of the Medit erranean Sea
That Jesus of the Gospels may have risen from the dead but very likely did not
That in an argument of the form “If P, Then Q,” the antecedent should be affirmed rather than the consequent
That people who murder other people should be brought to justice
The above six beliefs belong to a class of hundreds. To eliminate them all is a very big job. I don’t think I’m up to it. Enlightenment will have to wait.
I don’t want to give advice to anybody. That was not my intent. What I did was to describe my approach to dealing with things. You have to make up your own mind as to how you deal with the world. My approach works just fine for me. I can, however, recommend that you embrace the idea of change, it’s the only thing that is constant.
Ever since Putin’s golden shower puppet was selected by Russia, many people have been wondering if-and-when he will be impeached. In fact, so many people are betting on The Donald getting turfed, the British gambling company Ladbrokes has had to cut the odds from 3-1 to 9-4 as wagers have piled up over the last couple weeks.
If Trump does resign or get impeached, he’ll join a long line of presidents who didn’t serve full terms in office. He’ll be the 15th who does not complete his term. Putin will be pissed by president Pence.
He’ll be the 15th who does not complete his term. – janet
============
So when you say ‘impeached’ you mean convicted as well?
No. They are distinct.
Thwack, when you say that “Sub-Saharan Africans have a certain vitality for reproduction, despite slavery,” you’re looking at the matter from a strictly American point of view.
From 1600 to the mid 1800s, the number of black people transported across the Atlantic to work as slaves in America was 450,000. The number of blacks transported to the Caribbean during those same two- plus centuries, which were the centuries of slavery’s high tide, was ten time as much. Ten times! Yet the present black population of the Caribbean isn’t ten times that of America’s. In fact, it’s less than what America’s is now.
Slave life in the Caribbean was harsher than in America. The natural increase of the slave population was outpaced by its rate of death: malnutrition, overwork, tropical diseases unknown in Africa, and, I suspect, sheer spiritual exhaustion.
If replenishment workers had not been continually brought over from
West Africa, the raison d’etre of Caribbean colonization, which was the sugar cane industry, would have collapsed.
Uh-oh, confusing Thwack with facts again.
“Thwack, when you say that “Sub-Saharan Africans have a certain vitality for reproduction, despite slavery,” you’re looking at the matter from a strictly American point of view.”
***********************************************
No, not at all.
As a matter of fact, your data proves my point.
The abundance of Negroes meant it was cheaper to grind them up, throw em away, and go get another one ALL the way from Africa.
Especially given the continuous outflow of “seasoned” slaves to the U.S from the Caribbean once they learned Spanish, English or French; and had proven themselves immune from flipping out, with some Dylann Roof type shit and stabbing a white person in the neck with a rusty fork or somethin…?
Trump tweets Rep. Wilson a man of inaction in response to his criticism of Trump. Wilson a man who took a beating for voting rights. That’s rich. REALLY rich. Trump never did much that wasn’t of benefit him. Really rich!! This from the other side.. Lifelong atheist neurologist with no monitored brain wave activity in a coma for one week recollects heaven. That could be fake news. Crap.
JHK,
I imagine that you peruse over your comments section once more at the end of the week in preparation for the Monday post. I decided to write today to thank you for, and to encourage you to keep on, exploring the Deep State corruption meme. There is excellent open source investigative journalism being done to help the ordinary schmoe contemplate the complexity of said Deep State network. Take the efforts of this man, George Webb, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsqhBMaNly8 … Where is Eric Braverman?
Webb has produced a fascinating series of videos which compile valid, intentionally buried news pieces and his own reasonable speculation to offer some insight as to how the corrupt Hillary Clinton presidential campaign fell apart just before the election. We all know she was set to win (steal) the election, but it seems obvious now that the last minute (Comey) FBI letter was merely a signal to Deep State Masters that she and the heinous Clinton Foundation had become way too hot, and more of a risk rather than asset to the Deep State cabal. Those Wiki leaks, not hacks, were the smoking pistols, yes indeed, but the insiders who provided the info are the powder burned hands, whether material was given to the Ruskies or just simply to Wikileaks these folks, some dead and others still alive are the real story. Not enough attention is given to these genuine heroes.
It seems not enough bodies (former employees) could be stacked by Hillary’s henchmen before one or a few could attain asylum or, at the very least, a way to stay safely hidden via assumed assistance from foreign influencers, a.k.a. recently expelled Russian diplomats?
The Drumpf selection, despite the red herring legacy media narrative of Russian hacking/ election rigging, certainly provides excellent cover for a Deep State Plan B presidential initiative, doesn’t it? Give the idiot acolytes a sloppily contrived Hero, and then funnel their support for him into the new strategy for staving off the dreaded Russia/China alliance. Welp, looks like it’s working.
The populist hero meme of Drumpf proves to be yet another masterful mythology set forth to stave off any legitimate actions potentially militant Americans might take to resist the Deep State’s long-term agenda.
JHK does not like conspiracy theories which is what Deep State discourse mostly is.
The above requires no tin foil hat to consider, and the interpolations among subverted news stories are falsifiable, unlike tenets of the many baseless conspiracy tales out there. To acknowledge that a Deep State exists is also to ‘believe’ there are those who conspire to affect outcomes. I believe it’s only a matter of time before someone prominent provides the eye witness perspective speculators are hoping for – a true Black Swan.
“I believe it’s only a matter of time before someone prominent provides the eye witness perspective speculators are hoping for – a true Black Swan.”
By nature Black Swans are ex-temporal and cannot be predicted. By definition Black Swans are unexpected. By saying it is only a matter of time you have inadvertently scared it away. Thank you!
Trump embraces identity politics of white nationalism. Whiteness=greatness. Watch the movie HIDDEN FIGURES to see how Black women helped NASA, cause the “make America great again” folks have ignored and suppressed Black contributions… they ask why educate Black women? Well, NASA and STEM.
Janet. Whiteness is greatness is bull. Humaness is greatness. Hash tag : commit love crimes. Small and large all over the place.

Just like in Old Spain under Islam. What did they think would happen? If they hate their own men this much, perhaps they deserve it. In any case, those who refuse to study His Story are condemned to repeat it.
After the Love Crime last New Year’s Even in Cologne, German women came out in force to support their new Rape Masters. Fifty shades of stupid? Or primal femininity peaking out thru the feminist and liberal conditioning?
Why don’t they just wear a hajob?
Watch the movie, LOVING. Great movie!
I should have said rep. John Lewis (D) Georgia. That’s important. Civil rights icon. Trump says he’s all talk
Yah well. Too bad you’re all shot and brains asshole. I hate no one. Hate is for children! A great line from the amazing film “The 33”. I’m on the edge with trump though. No despise May be better.
I meant to write too bad you’re all sh it and brains pres. Write like that about John Lewis. Shameful.
shit AND brains or
shit FOR brains?
Thanks for the space this weekend, JHK.
I won’t post weekly. Last one for today:
May I suggest changing the comments section to require individual posters to begin separate, closed threads? At least this gives your wider, silent audience some method for congregating/engaging with others who seek focus on particular ideas. Sure, this won’t stop the vandalism entirely, but it will curtail it. This site’s professional infiltrators and no life having constant pool pissers impact the credibility of your own measured insights. The covert operators and pretend bloggers fishing for attention on CFN are behaving more psychotically than ever. Over the last couple of years this comment section has lost all of it best contributors.
If not, the opportunity to visit the Monday post and your personal styling of the Long Emergency is still appreciated.
President- elect Donald J. Trumps pimp slaps civil rights “icon” John Lewis for refusing to attend the inauguration:
“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results,” Trump said in a pair of Twitter messages. “All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”
*Next victim please step right and meet the not so invisible hand*
He deserved that slap and more too. Meanwhile Hank Johnson worries that increasing the troop levels on Guam might tip the island over.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cesSRfXqS1Q
Don’t worry – Thwack is on the job and considering both sides.
Janet. I bet “Loving ” is a good film. I’ll see it. There are many interracial couples now. Lovely. Hate is for children. The way I understand the world closer to nuclear exchange than ever so we all might consider that. I repeat a disgrace to write about John Lewis that way. DISGRACE.
Barb believes, perhaps unconsciously, that once Whites are bred out of existence, we’ll be back “in the Garden”.
Janos believes, perhaps unconsciously, that I wanna have sex with white women.
Would he hate me more if he found out I really wanna have sex with ALL women?
Its not a choice
*I was born this way*
Just like he was born a racist.
Russia deploys anti-aircraft missile systems around Moscow to protect the capital from attack in latest sign Putin is preparing for war
The news comes on the day the US sent more than 3,000 troops to Poland
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4112614/Russia-deploys-anti-aircraft-missile-systems-Moscow-protect-capital-attack-latest-sign-Putin-preparing-war.html
Finca, you probably already know about Russia’s drone submarine, long range and capable of carrying mega ton capacity nuclear war heads.
Deployed stealthily off America’s coasts, the inferno could be unleashed while the entire country sleeps, and we could wake up to an actual Red Dawn.
Status 6 – 100 megatons
But right now we are probably not talking a full-scale war, but possibility of mega-provocation in Europe during Inauguration Day.
Still, we don’t want to lose Moscow even due to “limited” provocation.
Your fucking NeoCons are batshit crazy.
Head of D.C. National Guard to be removed from post in middle of inauguration

Clintonoids are going to push it far enough, so at 1 pm they will be unable to continue to intrigue as in “at all”.
The Army general who heads the D.C. National Guard and has an integral part in overseeing the inauguration said Friday that he will be removed from command effective at 12:01 p.m. Jan. 20, just as Donald Trump is sworn in as president.
Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz’s departure will come in the middle of the presidential ceremony — classified as a national special security event — and while thousands of his troops are deployed to help protect the nation’s capital during an inauguration he has spent months helping to plan.

“No one can resist a negro gramatical error.” Thwack
Yo, yu no dats ryte!
Sux syntax bro.
Q. Shtik
You say that you’d like to see that the posters on CFN take the trouble to read/edit what they write before clicking submit. I presume you’re thinking of errors in grammar and syntax and punctuation–their reduction. I suspect that most of the people who post here DO reread what they’ve written. Thing is, there’s no point trying to spot errors of composition if you don’t know beforehand what nearly all such errors look like.
A post that Holefield sent in a couple of months ago is illustrative. Holefield claimed to have read it five times and to be confident that it didn’t contain a single structural error. Yet Holefield’s failure to employ the past perfect/past verb sequence in a sentence where such employment was necessary for sentence logic, ruined his claim of perfection, a claim that he made because of simple grammatical ignorance.
You can’t spot any particular error unless you can recognize the error when you see it.
Yeah, yer write, Cold is an ignerent feller.
All my spelling errors are intentionally “laid” for the people who get mad and tell me: “Im gonna ignore you.”
They forget no one can ignore a negro spelling error.
Its like that big fat WHITE mushroom in a field of freshly cut green grass; the average person just can’t resist kicking the shit out of it.
“A woman is strugglin to kick me in my skull, if she could she would; I am divine.
Oh mother, their hatred’s so pure, their hatred’s real, and now its mine;

Titch,
Brace yourself.
The funeral of former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani took place under unusual slogans. Instead of the usual “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”, the crowd chanted “Death to Russia!”.
As Alexander III used to say, Russia has only two reliable allies: Russian Army and the Russian Navy!
“You can’t spot any particular error unless you can recognize the error when you see it.” –Titch
Exactly. Which is why Qshtik regularly submits errors in his/her posts. Spell check and grammar check are no substitute for knowledge of the English language which Qshtik appears to lack.
On the other hand, it is not necessary to signal every error, especially if communication is not impaired. This is not an academic forum and we are not academics. Cut some slack, please.
There will be no cutting of slack when I rule the world.
“Please do not throw worthless statistics into your argument… without attendant methodology, I reject them.” –Elysianfield
Thank you for your honest admission that you reject facts, though your rejection of NCES data is ridiculous. You look like a fool for rejecting simple addition. The enrollment “statistics” I cited do not require advanced mathematical computation beyond addition. Counting is not that difficult.
Percentages are different from whole numbers, but there is no trickery employed. Percentages allow for a fair comparison of groups.
By both race and gender, a higher percentage of Black women (9.7 percent) are enrolled in college than any other group, topping Asian women (8.7 percent), white women (7.1 percent) and white men (6.1 percent).
Do you think education is not valued in American white culture? Asian culture? How do you explain the facts? Black women are leading whites and Asians. Blacks do value education, unless you ignore the data and continue with your racist assumptions.
Subtraction can also be used. From the NCES “statistics” :
In contrast, the share of bachelor’s degrees earned by White students decreased from 76 percent in 2002–03 to 69 percent in 2012–13.
The latter number, 69% is smaller than the first number, 76%, indicating a DECREASE in degrees earned by white students. Oh, by the way, the number of degrees awarded is determined by addition, by counting, not by nefarious trickery.
So, do you conclude white American culture does not value education because the number of degrees awarded to whites DECREASED by 7%? (that is 76% minus 69% = 7%, if you need the “methodology”)
Should I conclude whites are lazy, shiftless, don’t value education, and don’t want to work?
“Should I conclude whites are lazy, shiftless, don’t value education, and don’t want to work”?
Yes, and you can, perhaps also conclude that the high cost of education has impacted the middle class to an extent that fewer struggling middle class students can afford to matriculate and/or remain in college due to economic issues. Lower middle class students, some actively recruited, might find scholarships more available.
So many variables, so little time….
” Blacks do value education, unless you ignore the data and continue with your racist assumptions.”
Janet,
Racial, not racist…my observations are without rancor.
Regarding the error in your post…the two percent that you cite as “sustained” were those found guilty of racism…what the fuck is wrong with you?
I know you are educated…revisit your comment, and give us a better effort…
“Racial, not racist” –Elysianfield
“Even in the face of hard numbers–like the fact that black teens are 21 times more likely to be shot dead by a police officer than their white counterparts. Even in the shadow of the mountainous pile of video footage showing police using Tasers on and choking and shooting unarmed black men and women to death. Even with the voluminous stack of numbers showing that black people are hired less often, earn less money, and are fired more frequently than whites with equal education and qualifications. A large number of white Americans won’t accept that there might be a scintilla of racism inside the borders of the beloved country. It must be a lack of work ethic. It must be the “gimme culture” black people buy into. It must be happenstance. It can’t be racism. They will not say it. They will not admit to it.” –Michael Harriot
Your denial of your racism is pathetic. You refuse to accept data. You ignore the relevance of history. You refuse to answer simple questions. You pretend to something you are not. I’m done with you for a while, elysianfield.
“are fired more frequently than whites with equal education and qualifications”
Janet,
Perhaps not so equal and not so qualified? Racial animus is but one of the possibilities posited…many more to explore.
“I’m done with you for a while, elysianfield.”
Yes, and I am becoming weary of correcting your math and your Marxist assumptions. Let us both take a break.
Enjoy the Trump ascendency….
Enjoy the Trump ascendency….
Oh, I will!
(if it happens, we are still 432,000 seconds away)
Nearly 20 percent of whites have used cocaine, compared with 10 percent of blacks and Latinos, according to a 2011 survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration… the most recent data available.
Higher percentages of whites have also tried hallucinogens, marijuana, pain relievers like OxyContin, and stimulants like methamphetamine, according to the survey. Crack is more popular among blacks than whites, but not by much.
Still, we have many racist police forces, so blacks are arrested for drug possession more than three times as often as whites, according to a 2009 report from the advocacy group Human Rights Watch.
Damned statistics! So bothersome for racists!
“Damned statistics! So bothersome for racists!”
Janet,
Yes, and so useful for those with a political agenda.
Yes, do you know what political means? Yes, I have a political agenda and it favors whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and all other racial and ethnic groups. The difference is that my political agenda is based on facts and data. Yours is based on anecdote, suspicion, distrust, cynicism, and ignorance, as expressed in denial of simple numbers and what they reveal.
“Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.” –Aristotle
Political comes from the root “polis”
POLIS
“ancient Greek city-state,” from Greek polis, ptolis “citadel, fort, city, one’s city; the state, community, citizens”
“Yours is based on anecdote, suspicion, distrust, cynicism, and ignorance, as expressed in denial of simple numbers and what they reveal.”
My opinions are based on direct observation….Yours? A weak pabulum of secondary and tertiary reports found on the “internets”, coupled with, if I might suggest, a blizzard of post-menopausal emotions and hormonal imbalances.
I could, of course, be wrong….
“My opinions are based on direct observation” –elysianfield
Your direct observation is limited. That is why I say your racism is based on anecdotal evidence. How many of the 500 largest cities have you lived and worked in?
Your direct observation has led you to generalize and make “racial” assumptions like “Blacks don’t value education” … Your direct observation is wrong. Your opinions of Jim Crow, your denial of the relevance of historical experience, are not based on “direct observation” … You are full of prejudice and you generalize from limited observation.
Yours is a textbook definition of racism. You say Blacks do not value education. Racism is “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race”
It just ain’t true that Blacks don’t value education. Your limited “direct observation” has created your prejudice and your racism.
“It just ain’t true that Blacks don’t value education. Your limited “direct observation” has created your prejudice and your racism.”
Janet,
Please re-read my post…I was referencing Black Culture, not Blacks in general. You seem, if I might suggest, a bit wanting regarding reading comprehension. You fixate on statistics without understanding their meaning, efficacy, reliability, let alone contextual accuracy. My direct observation occurred as a result of my employment on Ghetto streets, where you, Janet, cannot tread. By rough calculation, in excess of 8,000 hours, and that as a “trained observer”. Oakland, California in 1968 was an arch type then of what are cities are now today suffering.
The term “racist” that you freely dispense, and swing as a cudgel, is but a weak defense for arguments you cannot address, and is a sign of intellectual paucity.
“Deal faster cried the losers, while the winners told dirty jokes…Anon
Atlanta, GA – Democratic Party of Georgia Communications Director Michael Smith issued the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s attack on Congressman John Lewis, Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, and the City of Atlanta.
“Donald Trump’s loathsome remarks on Congressman Lewis and the 5th District not only illustrate the President-elect’s classlessness–it further proves that Trump may be one of the most uneducated students of history to occupy the Oval Office. This is unacceptable on any day, but particularly offensive on the eve of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
“Congressman John Lewis has dedicated his life to ensuring that the United States lives up to its greatest expectations through nonviolence and grassroots activism. As a result of his and so many others’ sacrifices, our nation was transformed into a society where the scales of justice found more balance. Congressman Lewis’ legacy came at a steep price–he was jailed and beaten and bloodied. But he never gave up. He never gave in. And we as a nation are the beneficiaries of his commitment to getting into good trouble.
“Beyond these vulgar attacks, it is disheartening that Trump would rather sing the praises of Vladimir Putin than Georgia’s own living social justice legend and civil rights icon. Trump owes Congressman Lewis, the 5th District, the City of Atlanta, and Georgians more than just an apology. He owes us the respect found in working toward a more perfect union through inclusion, equality, and commitment to the strengthening of everyone’s civil and human rights.”
–Democratic Party of Georgia Statement on Donald Trump’s Detestable Attack on Congressman John Lewis and the People of Georgia
Unfortunately John Lewis started this pissin’ contest by dissin’ the President-elect and showing his utter contempt for the tens of millions of Americans who voted for Mr. Trump, who won the election, fair-and-square by the way, his way.
The Deep State is laughing its ass off with this John Lewis kerfuffle plus, as a bonus, gets to take Monday off for the Federal Martin Luther King Holiday. Great timing you must admit.
And nothing beats a taxpayer funded paid day off (suckers.)
“Unfortunately John Lewis started this pissin’ contest by dissin’ the President-elect…” –pequiste
No, the President-elect started it. Lewis just noted Trump is not legitimately elected (neither by popular vote nor electoral vote).
“Starting in 2013 — just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act — a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP-controlled states.
Trump signaled the use of “Crosscheck” when he claimed the election is “rigged” because “people are voting many, many times.” His operative Kris Kobach, who also advised Trump on building a wall on the southern border, devised a list of 7.2 million “potential” double voters–1.1 million of which were removed from the voter rolls by election day. The list is loaded overwhelmingly with voters of color and the poor.
The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report, “The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters,” 8/24/2016.
Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including “Caging,” “purging,” blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to “provisional” ballots that will never be counted.” –Greg Palast

The kind of people malthuss, elysianfield, nsa, janus, tusconspur, pequiste, etc. are in bed with by supporting Trump.
What John Lewis did a half century ago during the sixties is one thing, and what he’s doing now is another. He fought for his race and his rights, so good for him.
From 1987 to 2017 Lewis missed 1,301 of 18, 787 roll call votes, which is just about 7%, much worse than the median 2.1% among representatives currently serving (over lifetime). Some might say he’s just another lazy black who’s had power much too long. Another poster boy for term limits.
I criticized Obama after he was elected and was called a racist. Lewis criticized Trump and will get the same designation from me and many others, I hope. He’s a racist through and through. Unfit to be a Congressional member. Trump was right to blast the black baboon.

MEXICO TO TRUMP: UMMM, NOPE!
At his press conference Wednesday, Donald Trump revisited his new plan to get Congress to pay for his border wall and get Mexico to reimburse the American taxpayer, noting, “What’s the difference? I want to get the wall started.”
And even as the Mexican peso simultaneously hit historic lows in response, President Enrique Peña Nieto held fast in his refusal to pony up, reports Politico, saying, “It is evident that we have some differences with the new government of the United States, like the topic of the wall, that Mexico of course will not pay.”
TRUMP TWEET LIES
Trump in a tweet early Saturday morning criticized Georgia Rep. John Lewis’ district as “in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested).” Trump tweeted that Lewis “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district,” after Lewis said he would not attend Trump’s inauguration next week.
TRUTH
Lewis’ district includes the world’s busiest airport, some of the biggest technology firms in the region and other major corporations. It includes most of Atlanta and parts of Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton counties, Brookhaven, College Park, Decatur and Morrow. Rep. John Lewis’ district includes headquarters or a significant presence of these companies, in no particular order:
Delta Air Lines
SunTrust Bank
Georgia-Pacific
Southern Company
Porsche Cars North America
EUE/Screen Gems
Tyler Perry Studios
King & Spalding
Troutman Sanders
Alston & Bird

John Lewis owes President Elect Trump an apology. Failing that, he should consider retirement. Black misbehavior is not going to be tolerated in this new day, this Day of Trump.
How about tomfoolery and truculence?
“I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president,” Lewis told Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet The Press.” “I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected and they have destroyed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.”
Lewis added that he believes there was a conspiracy “on the part of the Russians and others” to help Trump get elected.
“That’s not right, that’s not fair, that’s not the open democratic process,” he said.
Intelligence officials briefed Trump last week on their findings that Russia had interfered in the election with the intention of helping his candidacy. Trump has begrudgingly accepted that some kind of activity took place, he said during a press conference earlier this week, but he’s continued to dismiss the idea that foreign meddling actually affected the outcome of the election.
Lewis also said that he will not attend Trump’s inauguration, and that it will be the first one he’s missed since his election to Congress in 1986.
“You cannot be at home with something that you feel is wrong,” Lewis said.
Lewis is just getting started in this fight… and Lewis is telling it like it is. I hope Trump apologizes to Lewis, as the NAACP has requested.
Regardless, the whole thing has prompted tusconspur to declare his white supremacist cred on CFN, so there’s that. CFN is apparently a censorship-free space JHK provides for racists and antisemites.
PEOPLE POWER, PEOPLE PRIDE, WORLDWIDE!!!

All you vile lefties are in luck……you now have a raison de vivre: hating on Der Trumpster for the next eight years. Countdown is on: 5 days, 3 hours, 8 minutes to go.
Austria stopped rightwing populism in its tracks
Across Europe, Austria’s far right manipulated fear and prejudice over the refugee crisis. But, as Peter Kraus of the Austrian Greens notes, Vienna — where most refugees are settled — voted overwhelmingly for Green Party candidate Van der Bellen.
Right-wing Austrian Freedom party’s Norbert Hofer, on the other hand, performed strongly in communities with no refugees. The very people living with those from other countries were least likely to succumb to the far right.
Hatred can be defeated. That will be demonstrated in the US in the 2018 midterm elections.
Meanwhile, welcome the refugees and immigrants. Once you get to know the refugees, you will not fear them, you will love them. Once you get to know the immigrants, you will not fear them, you will love them. Once you get to know the Muslims, you will not fear them, you will love them.
America is made of many different cultures, races, and religions. Like the fifty stars on the flag America contains the fifty major faith orientations. Like the thirteen stripes on the flag, America contains thirteen major sexual orientations. We even elected a heterosexual (?) who loves golden showers as president!

LOL! That’s a good one! You are right, nsa, only five days “before the “urine-auguration” … Meanwhile this past week has been awash with revelations that exposed the true meaning of “Wikileaks.” For truly, wetly, and yuckily, the intersection of the Internet and grossness is Donald Trump.
In more ordinary times, the news that the incoming president of the United States likes to have sex with a steady stream of warm, yellow liquid would still be fertile fodder for memes. While it would be tempting to tell everyone to just piss off and let he who is without fetish cast the first, er, splash, these are not ordinary times, and when the [illegitimate, according to Rep. John Lewis] soon-to-be-leader of the free world’s sexual proclivities are tied up with espionage and hacking and electoral manipulation, then they become a matter of national security, however risible and ripe for parody.
As Trump likes to call himself an outsider, he has become a politician. Even worse, a Republican–you know, the party that wants to deny Americans with pre-existing conditions access to healthcare, to exert control over women’s wombs, to dispense with an independent office upholding ethical standards in Congress, to basically promote a culture of corruption. It’s also the party that, for some reason, is so threatened by the notion of gay marriage and equal rights for LGBT, yet its congressmen are often the ones caught literally with their pants down in bathroom stalls being fellated by the very people whose basic humanity they deny.
It is sad if Trump gets off on getting showered in piss, sad that he has to pay prostitutes to rain on him. Presumably it’s a kink his wife is not too happy to perform for him. All the money [he claims to have], and all the golden toilets in the world, and he has to pay for sexual gratification. And this is the man who bragged to Billy Bush about being able to get any woman he wanted, grabbing them by the pussy any time he wanted. And now it turns out, he probably could get any woman he wanted as long as he paid for services rendered.
If, on Jan. 20 Trump is inaugurated, then on Jan. 20 Trump is in violation of federal law.
I have a feeling Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, may be the one to bring down Trump. Trump’s deal with the General Services Administration to operate a hotel in the Old Post Office building specifically states that the lease cannot be held by an elected official. At Trump’s inauguration that is exactly what Trump will become if he swears the oath… and Trump will then be in violation of the law, subject to Rep. Cummings’ oversight.
Thousands of bikers from across the country are going to converge on the District of Columbia to prevent any violence or wrongdoing at the event.

Not claiming history will repeat itself; just sayin’.
The Left has promised to disrupt the innaguration. They succeeded with stop Trump’s Chicago rally with hundreds of Black and Brown gangbangers stomping Whites. Hundreds of White Bikers might be a big help to Police. The People and Government must work together, Elrond. Review the Magna Carta. The State cannot have a monopoly on force – not if the People are going to remain free.
Unity Principles (Jan. 21, 2017 Women’s March on Washington)
We believe that Women’s Rights are Human Rights and Human Rights are Women’s Rights. We must create a society in which women – including Black women, Native women, poor women, immigrant women, Muslim women, lesbian queer and trans women – are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments.
ENDING VIOLENCE
Women deserve to live full and healthy lives, free of all forms of violence against our bodies. We believe in accountability and justice in cases of police brutality and ending racial profiling and targeting of communities of color. It is our moral imperative to dismantle the gender and racial inequities within the criminal justice system.
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
We believe in Reproductive Freedom. We do not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. This means open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people, regardless of income, location or education.
LGBTQIA RIGHTS
We firmly declare that LGBTQIA Rights are Human Rights and that it is our obligation to uplift, expand and protect the rights of our gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans or gender non-conforming brothers, sisters and siblings. We must have the power to control our bodies and be free from gender norms, expectations and stereotypes.
WORKER’S RIGHTS
We believe in an economy powered by transparency, accountability, security and equity. All women should be paid equitably, with access to affordable childcare, sick days, healthcare, paid family leave, and healthy work environments. All workers – including domestic and farm workers, undocumented and migrant workers – must have the right to organize and fight for a living minimum wage.
CIVIL RIGHTS
We believe Civil Rights are our birthright, including voting rights, freedom to worship without fear of intimidation or harassment, freedom of speech, and protections for all citizens regardless of race, gender, age or disability. We believe it is time for an all-inclusive Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
DISABILITY RIGHTS
We believe that all women’s issues are issues faced by women with disabilities and Deaf women. As mothers, sisters, daughters, and contributing members of this great nation, we seek to break barriers to access, inclusion, independence, and the full enjoyment of citizenship at home and around the world. We strive to be fully included in and contribute to all aspects of American life, economy, and culture.
IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
Rooted in the promise of America’s call for huddled masses yearning to breathe free, we believe in immigrant and refugee rights regardless of status or country of origin. We believe migration is a human right and that no human being is illegal.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
We believe that every person and every community in our nation has the right to clean water, clean air, and access to and enjoyment of public lands. We believe that our environment and our climate must be protected, and that our land and natural resources cannot be exploited for corporate gain or greed – especially at the risk of public safety and health.
Janet,
Must be Hell living on the wrong side of history….
“Thousands of bikers from across the country are going to converge on the District of Columbia to prevent any violence or wrongdoing at the event.” –finca
finca, they are not needed. The event has both Guiding Principles and Unity Principles. Black Lives Matter is not a violent organization. See Principle 1 below. The bikers will also be nonviolent, I’m sure. I am learning much from the Black Lives Matter movement.
It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES (Jan. 21, 2017 Women’s March on Washington)
Women’s rights are human rights, regardless of a woman’s race, ethnicity, religion, immigration status, sexual identity, gender expression, economic status, age or disability. We practice empathy with the intent to learn about the intersecting identities of each other. We will suspend our first judgement and do our best to lead without ego. We follow the principles of Kingian nonviolence, which are defined as follows:
Principle 1: Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is a positive force confronting the forces of injustice and utilizes the righteous indignation and spiritual, emotional, and intellectual capabilities of people as the vital force for change and reconciliation.
Principle 2: The Beloved Community is the framework for the future. The nonviolent concept is an overall effort to achieve a reconciled world by raising the level of relationships among people to a height where justice prevails and persons attain their full human potential.
Principle 3: Attack forces of evil, not persons doing evil. The nonviolent approach helps one analyze the fundamental conditions, policies and practices of the conflict rather than reacting to one’s opponents or their personalities.
Principle 4: Accept suffering without retaliation for the sake of the cause to achieve our goal. Self-chosen suffering is redemptive and helps the movement grow in a spiritual as well as a humanitarian dimension. The moral authority of voluntary suffering for a goal communicates the concern to one’s own friends and community as well as to the opponent.
Principle 5: Avoid internal violence of the spirit as well as external physical violence. The nonviolent attitude permeates all aspects of the campaign. It provides a mirror type reflection of the reality of the condition to one’s opponent and the community at large. Specific activities must be designed to maintain a high level of spirit and morale during a nonviolent campaign.
nsa said: All you vile lefties are in luck……you now have a raison de vivre: hating on Der Trumpster for the next eight years. Countdown is on: 5 days, 3 hours, 8 minutes to go.
I can’t speak for the other Lefties, but I’ve gone long Borscht. You should too if you know what is good for you.
Titchfield & Q. Shtik, is that ignorant enough for you? FYI, Titchfield, that illustrative example you referenced — I actually did understand that grammar rule. It was an oversight, not me not knowing, although, I am no PhD level expert when it comes to grammar. Nice try, but you were wrong. There are better examples that are actually factual. Try to find them. Do the hard work.
Janet,
This is merely my own observation: there are a great many people who I never thought would vote for Trump, but did vote for Trump. I am not one of those people, but I almost did vote for him. I was, and remain, that disgusted with the Democrats. (I remain registered as a Democrat. That I intend to change.)
All of this makes it plausible to me that Trump won, fair and square.
“FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver’s polling/analysis group, reported that Clinton had an 81 percent chance of winning in mid-October. About a week after Comey’s announcement, that number dropped to 65 percent. This rapid shift didn’t occur because people suddenly recognized that Trump is a brilliant foreign policy strategist.
We do know that our intelligence community concluded that Russia hacked the DNC, and Trump finally accepted this last week. To concede that Russia was behind the hacking (rather than a 400-pound person sitting on a bed somewhere, as Trump at one point theorized) was, presumably, to admit that Russia helped him win. Well, didn’t it? Didn’t Trump loudly call upon Russia to hack Clinton’s emails?
What if Clinton had publicly asked Russia to hack Trump’s records and release his tax returns — and Russia did? And what if the FBI announced less than two weeks before Election Day that it was going to investigate fraudulent practices at Trump University? Let’s say that Trump’s number dipped dramatically and he lost.
Do you reckon Republicans would be a tad upset?
Yes, democracy needs saving and the republic’s foundation is showing wear. But isn’t the crucial question the very one that can’t be answered: Did we really elect Donald Trump to be president of the United States?”
–Kathleen Parker

Inter-clan fighting in US intensifies; many influential Americans are facing loss of power and money
Look at the situation from the point of view of the part of US intelligence, which serves the interests of Hillary, Soros and Kagan. Trump could simply purge them up.
And it is not even necessary to unleash some political repression or a witch hunt, all Trump needs to do is to investigate the participation of certain part of the US intelligence in support of ISIS and illegal arms shipments to the Jihadists.
There is mounting evidence that the attack on Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi was to prevent Sevens from becoming a whistleblower about illegal shipments of Libyan arms to ISIS.
Many employees of US intelligence are not just facing the prospect of losing jobs, but losing freedom or even their lives (High Treason is a Capital Offence)
In order to prevent this, they are ready to propagate any fake news and accuse Trump of anything, no matter how nonsensical those charges would look.
From their point of view – it’s a win-win move. If they can blame Trump, then it is good. And if they can not, then at least any attempt to clean up the security services, they immediately could start crying that Trump purges “real American patriots from the CIA” on Putin’s personal orders.
In Iraqi Mosul, everything is going according to the plans … of ISIS
An indirect indication that in Mosul everything goes according to the plans of ISIS command, is a sharp increase in men-power that is been transferred by the Islamic State to the area of Deir ez-Zor in Syria’s Homs province. They are arriving there in transit through Raqqa and through the center of Anbar.
The significant strengthening of the Islamic State in Syria, is directly connected to most favorable for ISIS situation in Iraq, where they could, without too much difficulty, maneuver their forces.
Long Live Great American November Revolution!
Now in the United States clashed in a tough battle several powerful oligarchic clans for control of Washington and an opportunity to build their own vision of the future of the country and the world. Trump and Hillary are just visible peaks of enormous icebergs. They only publicly personify the opposing forces remaining in the shadow of the mass media, news releases and political battles.
In fact, at the moment, Trump is trying to wrest control of the United States from the transnational oligarchic clans. Trump like a tank is going ahead through the dense ranks of the ruling US elite, regardless of party affiliation.
His goal is to save the United States, which are being used to the full depreciation in the interests of transnational oligarchy. Trump wants to stop the destructive processes in his own country.
Trump is not alone. Behind him are very influential people both within America and abroad. In addition he gets the maximum support of the US patriotic establishment (government officials, military personnel, intelligence and security officers) who dream to wrestle the US out of control transnational oligarchy.
So, in fact, what is happening in America, is a revolution. And not only in the US but also around the world. If Trump will be able to fully take power in the United States, the transnational oligarchy will lose the most important tool of their power and influence in the world. If this happens, all currently existing world order would collapse.
Rep. Of Georgia John Lewis will get more respect and honor from everyone when he is elected Senator…which will never happen because as Pelosi said, you can not shut him up. He is another political man baby whiner.
If it wasn’t illegal, I would dig up MLK, carry him down the street and back, and then rebury him.
From that point on I could walk around shouting:
“I walked with King!”
“I walked with King!”
Just like John Lewis.
That dude annoys me.
But imagine how bad its gonna be the day he dies?
*vomit*
You don’t see me going to India and walkin around shouting:
“I walked with Slurpee!”
“I walked with Slurpee!”
Congratulations to our Host
Wm. Kunstler had 15 minutes with Max Keiser on RT last night…discussed a significant portion of our “usual” talking points. Literally, one’s “15 Minutes” of fame, and on a global network!
I found/watched/listened to the 15 min interview and I can only say that Max Keiser’s voice (Bugs Bunny?) is so distracting that I can barely pay attention to the substance of the conversation.
Regardig Keiser’s voice and speech pattern…yes indeedy. Months ago I actually Emailed RT and asked them to consider their demographic and add closed captioning…crickets…ski.
Barack Obama has invited Donald Trump for a cup of tea before the inauguration, where they will travel together, and according to rumors, all the protection of the White House has been changed to the Trump’s people already.
But the most important thing is that on January 3 was sworn in the new 115th US Congress and not a single senator on January 6 would sign a petition to Congress to review the State’s election results on the grounds that Trump is a Russian spy.
Not one!
If there was even one, then the situation would be very different. And a joy that reflected on Biden’s face when he said, “It’s over” after the Clintonoid representative said that no signature from the senators was obtained.
In addition, let me throw a stone into anti-Semitic swamp of the Black Project: infamous vote in the UN as well as a criminal case against Netanyahu is clearly a revenge for Israel’s refusal to take part in the Syrian adventure and his agreement on Syria with Putin’s Russia.
Trump and his readiness for negotiations
The real question is not whether someone believes in a special mission of Donald. The issue is that the United States must be able to admit defeat in the war with Russia and China (two different wars, but both the US have lost) and began to change the tactics quickly.
Negotiate and not push the situation into even more losing deal for themselves. It is obvious today that the US policy is fundamentally unchanged for a couple of hundred years, but Americans know how to be rational and to draw conclusions.
And if you could not break the Russians quickly, and the strategic mistake was made when the United States decided that they had defeated the Soviet Union, which, of course, was not the case, and now the US must be ready to play for a long term.
Now US have to re-group and prepare. And then see who wins. Plus, as in the 40s of the 20th century, they again gave birth to a monster with which they themselves are unable to cope. And they need Russia again. The result – Trump came to power with a definite ideology. And he will not give up on it. I guarantee it. He will act strictly in the interest of the United States, but the whole trick is that Trump understands the interests of the US differently than the neocons. That’s all.
J anos you posted above my heart is broken. Do you have a heart j ano s. You morons who write white power worldwide , There’s no hope for any of it with that philosophy. Probably isn’t anyway. If someone has native American ancestry and German and scotch Irish. And it’s rumored African American, what are they then? Everything is so mixed now what does it matter. I guess to small-minded haters it does. Its just stupidity. Janet, I enjoy many of your posts. Thanks. The bottom line is, humanity is greatness. It alwsys wad and Will always. Lewis did more on that bridge that day for it than Trump ever did. He has only ever promoted himself. Its a long, ponderous chain you make some in this world. A long, ponderous chain. No fear here.
Thank you, barbisbest. Don’t worry about Janos. He is somewhat confused about race. Besides, in America people can become white. Irish became white. Polish became white. Jews became white. Italians became white.
Race is just a social construct that was used as an ideological tool of colonialism. Race refers to nothing concrete, material or quantifiable. There is nothing that all members of the “Black” or “Caucasian” race” have in common. However, race operates as if it referred to something concrete and essential. Race, in other words, wants you to believe that it represents something real, when in fact it has no biological, anthropological, or natural scientific grounds for existence.
Lewis got his ass kicked fighting for Black Rights – including the right to get ahead of you in line. Black Power in other words. Surely you didn’t think they would settle for equality? When Whites were so supine and ethnomasochistic? Tempt not your brother, Barb.
Many Whites have been beaten, jailed, and killed fighting for their rights – and that means you too – yet these you scorn. Perversity thy name is woman.
If you mix everything together, is that diversity? Get some watercolors, Barb. Play with them. Get your hands and face dirty like a little girl. Once you’ve run them all together, you won’t have a rainbow – just mud.
Diversity is the Liberal’s name for lack of Diversity. Orwell’s revenge. Barb’s vision for humanity is for us to become gray and mud colored junk yard dogs. She all but admits that Whites are “the problem” and have to be eliminated. This is what happens when women don’t have babies – they have no stake in the future and just whirl around in their minds.
Barbisbest, I am not sure how long you have followed this blog. I am not sure how long I have. Janet is the Nom de Plume of Asoka, WPA-CCC, etc, etc. I can’t even recall the list. Perhaps Frankiti can help I just wish the black man on the mudhut roof would go away.. I waste my time here because I enjoy the discourse. Believe me it was more interesting a few years back.
I just finished having a “conversation” with a guy who voted for Trump. He was so full of ignorant shit it was unbelievable. Completely uneducated, and spouting right wing nonsense, it really makes me concerned for the future of this country. I had to make neutral comments to this guy to avoid getting into a fist fight with him. I do not shrink from confrontation, but what is to be gained from conflict with an idiot? Most of the Trump supporters I have met are from the same unwashed, uneducated, ill-informed group that supported Trump in the first place. As for the more informed of his supporters, I find that they have serious right wing tendencies, and are immune to logic. This does not bode well for the future of this country.
And that you have such contempt for your brothers makes conflict not only inevitable but necessary. We would be content to secede, but you would never let us go, right? Thus your hands are red and you should no longer be considered White.
Capt, I’ve encountered far too many ignorant Clinton voters who were washed in both body and brain. Wearing a liberal four year university cloak, their disconnect from the world’s realities was frightening.
The first few lines from Whitman’s great poem are appropriate:
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting…
Regarding the issue of ‘Mexico paying for the wall’:
I’m sure I am not the first to think about this issue of how Trump might squeeze the Mexicans (and probably Central Americans in general) to pay for the wall……I’m sure I heard it somewhere else within the past year, but…………………………..
In Sept 2014 my brother died suddenly at his home in Miramar, FL. My wife and I flew down and worked night and day for 3 weeks making all the necessary arrangements, especially for sale of his home. From the last time we had been there 20 years earlier the area had morphed from majority White to majority Hispanic/Black. Walk into any big-box store and you were lucky to find an employee who spoke English.
There was a Publix Supermarket near my brother’s home and we visited it almost daily to pick up snacks, food, cleaning supplies etc. On one occasion I had to ask a question of the Publix office personnel. Annoyingly, there was a line of people, maybe 8-10, all varying shades of brown and all speaking Spanish. I joined the queue. The line inched forward slowly. Each person seemed to be executing some kind of transaction with the office person. They were all holding a yellow form, the purpose of which was unknown to me.
When my turn came, the first thing I did out of extreme curiosity was to ask what all these people were doing and what were the yellow forms for? Turns out they were all remitting/transferring money to someone in their country of origin.
So, I’ll come to my point……… it is not hard to imagine Trump playing hardball via cessation or taxing of money transfers from the US to certain nations south of our border to pay for ‘the wall.’
Trickledown in action. In other words, it’s not going to work for us (American Whites) unless we have millions of workers in China, Mexico, etc.
it is not hard to imagine Trump playing hardball via cessation or taxing of money transfers from the US to certain nations south of our border to pay for ‘the wall.’
******************************************************
But in response, these brown people may turn to private ledger book “family” banking like the Jews invented a long time ago in Europe to avoid thieves getting their gold shipments.
Do you really want them to do that?
I think the Arabs and the Chinese already have versions in operation.
Is it called “Halal banking?
Absolutely, taxation of money transfers would the first among many other methods of renumeration.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/anderson-cooper-if-gop-said-what-lewis-did-about-clinton-dems-would-be-up-in-arms.html
Does Barb also support the death threats against the electors and now the entertainers scheduled to perform at Trump’s inauguration.
Publix, Winn Dixie, El Presidente Super Mercado, it doesn’t matter Q.
Across the nation lines and transactions like the one you experienced in Miramar, Florida occur round the clock every day. And on Friday afternoon and evening do not even think about using the supermarket “customer service” counter to return a grocery item or buy a lotto ticket. You will stand there for 45 minutes.
The reason is millions of the illegal aliens ( and the ones I see are the working ones hence the money on payday) are sending remittances, much of it via Western Union Moneygram. A veritable kings ransom every week gets sent out of the USA that fast.
https://locations.westernunion.com/?locale=es
Your idea would work like magic.
A one year, USA government issued, work permit for sale cheap would also help fund the Cordon Sanitaire. How about $100 a year, per person, to cover it? I could see a billion dollars just from that program alone.
Call the Army Corps of Engineers and have them get ready to rock and roll.
Better yet, have the illegals working the Wall. Then when it is finished, they are right there to push them thru the turnstile. Only overt criminals would be in chain gangs. Generic illegal alien criminals could work and earn a fair day’s wage before they are deported.

I put in the blanks to , hopefully, demonstrate to a third party observer that your criticism is just as well applied to the agenda you, yourself , are pushing.
But then, is that news?
Further up the page you profess to believe that this, that , or the other sexual proclivity is some sort of noble status, due respect and even some privilege —-
—- And then proceed to blatantly ridicule Trump for a sexual proclivity , and to suggest some sort of illegitimacy on account of that proclivity.
The double standard is pretty blatant .
The attempted manipulation disgusting.
Phew, Big Media, Big Show Biz, and the entrenched political establishment hitting Trump hard, throwing everything they got at him. Its about what we expected.
He’s a big boy, he can take it.
Hey Janet (Asoka), you going to the million women march in DC later on this week? Its gonna be great! I can’t wait for the ‘Human Die In’ — all the middle aged broads laying down on the cold pavement of Pennsylvania Avenue. I hope it doesn’t snow. What a hoot!
brh
Let’s leave God and morality out of it , especially since that’s what you claim you want anyway.
Looooonng EXPERIENCE, over hundreds of years, different eras, different cultures, different ethnicities, has consistently shown that endorsing heterosexuality paired with monogamy , and stigmatizing promiscuity , is most conducive to domestic tranquility, and is the most economically viable and conducive to wealth accumulation for any class .
The fact was that the aristocracy pushed promiscuity in ancient Greece 3,000 years ago, because they could afford it, and because they either knew that it would ruin other classes, and they desired that outcome, or they did not care that it would ruin other classes.
So it was 3,000 years ago , and so it is now. The aristocracy today pushes promiscuity , and for the same reasons as formerly.
The only difference I can detect is that the aristocracy of today does not have the honesty or integrity to call itself aristocracy .
Sure, a lot of not-so-rich people go along with that.
A lot of not-so-rich people think they are going to win the million dollar lottery too.
And since when is thinking with your dick , or with your clit, unusual or uncommon?
The aristocracy , you could argue, is itself not so bright. It’s sexual license ultimately , in driving others into misery and distress , undermines its own power and wealth in so doing. Wrecks its own status qou, destroys its own empire.
LGBT — The steadily expanding acronym should itself clue you in to its fundamental falsity .
Should the acronym be grown to include another letter for those sexually attracted to trees ?
Should the acronym be grown to include another letter for those sexually attracted to insects?
Why not ? there is some sort of moral imperative , or some other kind of specialness that exists in anal intercourse that does not exist in caressing leaves or kissing bark?
No, what is really behind LGBT isn’t extreme left-wing fags , ( though they would like to flatter themselves that is so )
But some heterosexual rich guy who wants to screw his secretary, and wants to legitimize the screwing over that his wife, his kids, his parents, his siblings, basically the culture as a whole around him, that screwing his secretary is going to negatively impact.
LGBT in fact doesn’t really exist.
That is, a more accurate and honest acronym would be something like APRJPSOIEFO — ” Affluent People Rationalizing and Justifying their Promiscuity and the Screwing – Over that Invariably seems to Entail For Others. ”
Birth control — A mythological magic wand. Birth control or no birth control , promiscuity has still wrecked the middle and working classes .
Because the fundamental problem is NOT pregnancy, overpopulation, finite resources , or even your feelings . The fundamental problem is the assertion that a sexual proclivity, any sexual proclivity, including heterosexuality, is to be valued over and above the welfare of another person, over and above what you owe to another person.
” This hulking security apparatus has become a menace to the Republic. ”
Certainly.
Police departments a battalion or more in size , in decidedly rural and poor counties , have become a menace to the republic.
That, for example, the police organs of the world famous metropolis of Rogersville have armored personnel carriers is a menace to the republic.
That when someone says, ” That is none of your business ” it is assumed they have something to hide which they are not entitled to hide, is a menace to the republic.
That people lock their doors and lock their cars , despite knowing without having to check in with criminologists that at least half of the thievery and violence in this world originates from under our own roofs, is a menace to the republic.
That rightists for their own reasons, and leftists for their own reasons, gloss over the fact that the military and the police are themselves welfare doles and patronage systems, is a menace to the republic.
On second thought, the republic is long past.
The United States became a grossly authoritarian banana republic in form before I was born,
And all republican spirit died out no later than 1981.
LGBTQIA refers to the most commonly known sexualities.
Lesbian – A female who likes other females.
Gay- A male who likes other males.
Bisexual- Someone who likes both genders, i.e. a girl who is sexually attracted to both males and females.
Transgender- A person who was born as the opposite gender they identify with.
Questioning/Gender Queer- Questioning is someone who is looking for an orientation or questioning their own, because they do not identify as heterosexual. Gender queer is when someone does not identify as either male or female.
Intersex- A person who doesn’t fit “the role” of either gender and/or someone between genders.
Asexuality-Someone who lacks sexual attraction.
Well, no question about it, that’s all going into the latest, abridged edition of Ambrose Bierce’s ‘Devils Dictionary’.

Putin Puppet Speaks: “NATO is obsolete”
“They have sanctions on Russia – let’s see if we can make some good deals with Russia”
Putin is well-pleased and praises his puppet: “Trump is a really brilliant and talented person”
Trump: Cut sanctions on Russia for nuclear arms deal
Donald Trump, the US president-elect, has told a British newspaper that he will offer to end sanctions against Russia in return for a nuclear arms reduction deal with the Kremlin.
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/trump-cut-sanctions-russia-nuclear-arms-deal-170116033107521.html
Sounds like a rhetoric for internal consumption.
It is symptomatic – the US really needs to curtail its nuclear complex for economic and human resources reasons, but it is necessary in this case to save face by presenting it as Russian concession.
However, Russian Minister of Defense Shoigu also managed to announce the transition to a non-nuclear deterrence using hyper-sonic precision strikes.
Who will be attributed with the defeat of Democrats / Neocons?
Obama clearly stated that it was Hillary’s fault. And that he – even with all the Russian hackers, would still have won over Trump. Hillary blames everybody – the head of the FBI, Obama himself, and of course Putin. This question is very important by no accident.
For Trump’s victory broke a very long, a few decades long, tradition of power in the United States of certain groups. And it is obvious that the culprit is doomed to shame and oblivion.
Obama very much wants to be the patriarch of American politics – he clearly aspires to the role of a very authoritative steering politician, at least in the camp of the Democrats, and now everything depends on one question – after the 20th of January, Obama will still be somebody or nobody on the shelf?
For this, a fierce struggle is unfolding. Either Obama or Hillary.
And it is not clear who will win. But when you consider that Obama has already won over her in the past – he has a chance.
Americans definitely do not like losers.
Hey CFN, Happy MLK Day,
Where Da’ White Wimen at?
