Playing Dumb

Would our country be disappointed if Russia actually solved the problem of Ukraine? You have every reason to think so.

It must be obvious by now that the biggest complainers about “misinformation” in the USA are the biggest spreaders of it. When you hear “baseless” and “conspiracy theory” do you not automatically now scent the rot of propaganda working through the delicate tissues of reality? Eventually the stench of psyop is so sharp that it even wakes up the walking dead.

Would our country be disappointed if Russia actually solved the problem of Ukraine? You have every reason to think so. For one thing, we would be stuck having to face our own problems, especially the ones caused by lying to ourselves, such as the nearly unthinkable obscenity of having possibly poisoned a majority of the US population with mRNA “vaccines” and killed hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 patients by withholding known effective treatments. What would you suppose we might do about that?

Hold people accountable? The scale of this disaster is so enormous that the country can’t begin to process it. And it’s not just us, it’s all of Western Civ, which is more or less interchangeable with NATO, now the chosen instrument of distraction. Do any of these member nations have the stomach to face their own gross institutional failures? Apparently not yet.

Even in the face of massive emerging data that the “vaccines” are a bust and have additionally injured and killed many people, the CDC still urges Americans to vaxx up and boost up. So, by the way, does allegedly “former president” Barack Obama, who tested positive for the virus over the weekend, despite being vaxxed to the max. Who will tell them to stop digging that hole they’re in before they dig all the way to China?

It’s only a matter of time before the swindled public flips and realizes it has been subject to mass murder by bureaucrats, politicians, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and purveyors of the news. They’re all in this up to their necks, as are their corresponding officials in France, Germany, the UK, et cetera. They are trying to sweep this enormous lump of depravity under the rug, hoping that the masses of citizens will just leave the room.

They used the same playbook for SpyGate and 2020 election fraud, but the odor of those two exploits lingers, too. CBS’s 60-Minutes (“brought to you by Pfizer!”) was still working the latest narrative failure Sunday night, attempting to defame special prosecutor and former state supreme court justice Michael Gableman’s 2020 Wisconsin election report, which accused Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg of feloniously queering the vote by paying millions of dollars through a cut-out charity organization to replace actual local officials with Democratic Party activists to run the machinery of the election. Nothing to see there, declared CBS front-man Bill Whitaker. Judge Gableman’s report is just another conspiracy theory.

Threatened by losing the war against its own citizens, the US government now seeks a wider kinetic war over its would-be client state, Ukraine. The stakes must be pretty high for “Joe Biden” and Company to risk starting World War Three. Why else inflame a dangerous situation by sending more weapons there? I’ll tell you why: to prolong Russia’s operations to neutralize Ukraine so it won’t cause further trouble to them or anybody else in the world. The longer the US can keep that going, the longer we can put off the various reckonings at home.

America has no intention of actually defending Ukraine. It’s really just a global version of the interpersonal game “Let’s You and Him Fight,” as described by pioneering psychologist Eric Berne (1910 -1970), father of transactional analysis. The member nations of NATO have even less desire to join the battle, and are doing a poor job of pretending they oppose Russia’s disagreeable but necessary work there. So far, they have had to sacrifice desperately needed natural gas supplies from Russia. You can be sure they will find a way to sneak around US sanctions and reverse the blunder. They have no choice really, unless they want to go forward without any industries. Google-up the paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder and you’ll catch a glimpse of that possible European future. Of course, they’ll also have to answer to their own citizens for the awful mistakes in the terrible saga of Covid-19.

The best outcome, as others have pointed out, will be the disassembly of Ukraine into an eastern Russian zone — perhaps annexed into Russia — and a rump western Ukraine state that will be as quiet and inoffensive as Moldova and Slovakia next door.  (When was the last time they caused any trouble in the world?) It would be best for everyone, and especially the Third World, if the Russian operation is concluded as quickly as possible with a structured peace settlement, leaving a chance to get a Ukrainian grain crop planted, because otherwise a lot of innocent people will go hungry. Is the USA interested in a peace settlement? Or do we want to drive events further toward tragedy and our own national suicide?

    Another brilliant post from Mr. Kunstler!

    Those who have read and continue to read AND act, based upon his writings, continue to maneuver away from rolling waves of calamity.

    Vulture capitalism fomented globalization in sending capital to China, Mexico, et. al. to exploit the lowest cost resources, at the expense of building a civilization of informed, prosperous, peaceful, self-determined peoples, residing in an egalitarian Democracy, under the protections and processes of the Constitutional Republic.

    6+ decades of a accruals, accelerating with the union of Rockefeller and Mao.

    Victors write the history.

    GODSPEED!

      You can also thank Lyndon Brainless Johnson for Breton Woods 2, so that he could pursue guns AND butter at the expense of turning America from an industrious producer nation to a debt-riddled consumer nation of greedy spoiled brats (“I wants my PUA benefits! How else can I survive?” Try getting a damn job and actually working.) We can also thank Richard Nixon for meeting with Mao and for closing the gold window, turning the dollar into a fiat currency and further making us into debtors, instead of following Herb Stein’s advice to revalue the price of gold so that the dollar remained stable. Nope, nope, sorry Herb but I’ve gotta go with the Rockefellers, and ultimately create petrodollars. And that’s how you sink the greatest country the world has ever seen.

        Uncle Bob, thanks for the historical sequence. I knew about Tricky Dick’s breathtakingly arrogant move but was unaware of the move by “Landslide Lyndon” Johnson which you mentioned.

        My understanding is that it was the Vietnam War, Lyndon’s baby, that jump-started the Japanese economy so massively. They supplied a great deal of material to the war effort, without sacrificing even one Japanese life.

        We only lost 50,000 but I am confident they were categorized as “expendables” or “cost of doing business”.

      • bluedog March 16, 2022 at 5:54 pm #

        “The greatest country the world has ever seen” indeed they said that about Rome too and a few others and where did they end up, in the dust bin of history right where we are headed and belong. But let’s bring it along Reagan who said we don’t need manufacturing for we will be the financial capital of the world now how has that turned out. Then his other b.s. remarks about how government is the problem, but the stupid people didn’t realize he was referring to the regulations which had been put on the business sector to prevent another depression like 29 and we the people have been paying through the nose ever since.

        As the man said, “A people that elect politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims…but accomplices, and he was right, and the people do it over and over again.

    If you’re a western leftie, you HAVE TO put a Ukrainian flag on your Twitter because Russia is Trump and Trump is Russia and Trump is still living in your empty head and will live there forever. Roughly half the electorate doesn’t go any deeper than that, and so you have to really, honestly question whether the rest of us have a future with those people. I think not.

    • Islander March 14, 2022 at 10:09 am #

      Liz,

      You nailed it, pretty much.

      Of course a lot of the “righties” are on board with the Ukraine story.

      I got an email yesterday from an acquaintance who is flying a huge blue-yellow flag outside his very visible location. He was dissing Russia an drubbing his hands about how their economy would tank without US and EU purchases of their FF.

      I replied as follows:

      “for a different view of whose economy is going to crash, I suggest the following interview:
      https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrong-in-the-media/new-interview-insane-globalists-collapsing-world-economy/

      Martin Armstrong is basically apolitical—disregard the interviewer if you don’t like him. However, Armstrong certainly is not the only analyst saying this.

      I went to see the Ukranian film last night at the film center. It was shot in the Donbass in ca. 2019. The total disconnect between what was shown in the film, and its time frame (2014 — ca. 2019) and the comments of “Vlad” in Brookline who spoke via Skype before the film started were remarkable. I don’t know whether the audience noticed, or was able to parse this.

      It would have been more productive for Vlad to make his comments after the film. Then the audience would have had a chance to ask him who was shelling the civilians in the Donbass for 8 years.”
      ++++++++++++++

      The dummification via agit prop is unbelievable. This is a smart fellow. So far, no response from him.

      Don’t stop there. What are the larger implications?Therefore? Therefore Democracy as a form of government is contraindicated.

      Half? I think you’re being far too generous. What about the idiocy on the other side, the Trumpists?

      He’s only good relative to them. They want to go over the cliff at a screaming 90 mph. Trump wants to go over the cliff at a staid 30, while conversationally bragging on himself.

        Islander

        The successful war upon the American people had three stages:
        And the warhawks won.

        1- PREPARATION
        — An “education” system that taught it’s captives to cast aside all rational thought processes
        — A brainwashing technology (television) so addictive that it captured most of everyone’s free time
        — Widespread acceptance of religious fantasies in place of reason or scientific analysis
        — Near universal use of pharmaceuticals in place of health.

        2- TESTING
        —The orchestrated attack upon the Triple Towers accompanied by a plot that required the suspension of the laws of physics, rejection of all non-official information, and imposition of national Homeland Insecurity.
        — Conclusion: If the sheep will buy that, we can sell them anything.

        “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the US public believes is false.”
        William J. Casey CIA director

        3-ZOMBIFICATION

        —Inject six billion people all over the globe with a untested genetic alteration sold to them as a vaccination against a pandemic created by fraudulent data.
        — Among the many “side effects” the genetically modified victims experience is reduced or destroyed abilities to rationally understand what has been done to them. AKA “long COVID”

        —Is it any wonder that half of Americans still believe that their “vaccinations” protect them against the Virus, and “it would have been much worse if I hadn’t been vaccinated.”
        —The currently evolved Omicron variety of COVID has about the same effect as the common cold and provides immunity far longer lasting than the mRNA gene therapies, yet idiot “influencers” like ex-President Obama still urge people to endanger their health by getting “vaccinated” or boosted against COVID variants long since extinct in the wild.
        —Billilons of people worldwide are still being subject to “testing”
        by the PCR procedure and allowing the “results” to determine the level of “freedom” they are permitted. In spite of the Nobel Prize winning inventor, Kory Mullis repeatedly cautioning that his PCR test is completely useless for medical diagnosis. Even the CDC admitted it was worthless in mid-2021, but it is still being used worldwide.

        4-WAR: The ultimate expression of capitalist market cycles— demand destruction and rebuilding.

        Is it any surprise that 95% of Americans believe that escalating an economic war (every bit as much an act of war as one involving soldiers and bombs) against the second most highly nuclear armed country in the world is a good idea. They have been prepared as Believers, but not as Warriors as their Russian counterparts were by WWII.

        I’d say that Director Casey won.

        • ThorsHammer March 16, 2022 at 12:04 pm #

          POLICY MADNESS:

          China is on the verge of closing down their entire economy and locking down their population in an attempt to achieve the Government policy goal of ZERO COVID. There is exactly Zero chance of success, regardless of how good it sounds in some politicians speech.

          We have enough real world examples based upon the known characteristics of respiratory virus transmission and mutation to verify this logical conclusion. Maintenance of a Zero Covid state is only possible in a population entirely isolated from the rest of the world. And even on tiny atoll in the middle of the Pacific ocean that isolation is eventually breached.

          CUBA

          During the first year of the COVID outbreak the city of New York had over 70,000 COVID related deaths. Cuba had only 37 COVID deaths, achieved by totally closing the island to the outside world. As near to total success as one could imagine. However Cuba could not live without their major source of foreign exchange, tourism. They attempted to isolate tourists in a separate ghetto, but the nano sized virus soon found a way through, and Cuba now has an active case load in excess of 8,000, similar to other tourist economies.

          NEW ZEALAND

          With a government that evolved into a totalitarian state that exceeded anything the most extreme critics of Cuba could imagine, NZ officially tried to arrive at Zero COVID and failed. Before a limited re-opening of the country they vaccinated the majority of citizens with the US-approved Phizer/Moderna mRNA experimental gene therapy—- a failed technology with “side effects” more dangerous than COVID itself. So they now have a population with a highly compromised natural immune system and lowered defense against all forms of disease, as well as increased susceptibility to blood clotting, stroke, and miscarriage.

          SWEDEN

          Sweden is the one European country that refused to lock down the entire country in the face of an apparent Pandemic. After two years the results are undeniable. Medical impact of the COVID virus was the same or less than neighboring countries that followed misguided lock down policies and destroyed their economies as a result.

          CHINA

          China is the manufacturing epicenter of the World. If it is locked out of commerce the impact will throw the entire world into a crisis that will render the Ukrainian war a mere blip on the horizon of history.

          China, do you really want to do that in pursuit of a goal that is impossible to achieve?

          The ultimate irony is that China’s lock down policy is an attempt to suppress an outbreak of the Omicron COVID variety, a mutation with symptoms and threat about the same as the common cold. Omicron is not the threat, but rather the solution to the Pandemic. During the first month of it’s spread there were exactly three fatalities in the entire world, and even those were likely due to comorbidity. In exchange for a risk so low it is difficult to measure, being infected with Omicron provides acquired immunity measured in years against a broad spectrum of viral infections. By suppressing Omicron, governments suppress acquired immunity and assist Medical Totalitarianism in its goal of perpetual “vaccine” boosterism.

          • ThorsHammer March 21, 2022 at 2:56 am #

            China just announced that it has recorded two deaths from COVID in the entire past year. Meanwhile it has locked down major regions that are at the center of its manufacturing, all in the face of the new “threat” from the Omicron variant.

            There is only one thing in the world that is without limit: human stupidity.

    Is the USA interested in a peace settlement?

    No.
    For the reasons you’ve outlined. The US doesn’t care about Ukraine. It is simply another proxy war and weapons testing area for the US arms industry. All those javelin missiles and other weapons systems cost big money. One of the few actual manufacturing industries the US has left is in weapons.

    Or do we want to drive events further toward tragedy and our own national suicide?

    Whether it is intentional or not, that seems to be what is happening. A proof for this is what is happening on the southern border. There is a logic in allowing population replacement, when your current demographic is using meth, fentanyl, or just plain ole bullets, to mass suicide itself.

        According to the analysis of the Ukraine matter I have been watching every day by The Duran on Rumble, this military operation is close to being settled.

        This is what Putin has done from the start. He tried to have Ukraine hold up to the Minsk Accords for seven years and after 14,000 Russians living in the Donbas were shelled and murdered by the Ukraine military he decided it was time to go in to “protect them”.

        Just like with Obama’s and Samantha Power’s “Responsibility 2 Protect” in Libya.

        Plus Zelensky kept threatening to join NATO.

        Add to the mix all the CIA trained Nazis in the Ukraine military plus many in the government (Azov Battalion and the Right Sector) then the 30 US Bioweapons labs which Putin has the goods on and that was a big RED LINE to be crossed.

        Now it appears Putin has cauldroned off the Donbas and Crimea and Zelensky is now ready to have a chat about the whole matter.

        The Duran has great guests on their podcasts like Tom Luongo and a lawyer named Robert Barnes and others. They appear to have a grip on the politics, sanctions, other economic matters etc. It is all way more informative than any “news” we will get from MSM.

        I am left with The Duran, Tucker, Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Glenn Greenwald and Aaron Mate for news.

        Here is Jimmy from yesterday:

      Have you noticed that the propaganda spouting from the MSM grows increasingly strident and ffrantic day by day? Ukraine was housing foreign “volunteers” in a hotel, and the Russians dropped a cruise missile on top of it, killing 35 and serves them right. I bet you didn’t hear about that on CNN. Vlad has put us on notice that they will bomb weapons cconvoys that enter the Ukraine. Rusia has the goods on us in regards to the biolabs. Apparently there were 25 of them. China has it’s feathers severely ruffled over that. Though our ambassador to the UN has denied it, that skank,Victoria Nuland, has admitted it, as has the state department. Not only that, but I hear the Russians have the goods on the Biden crime family–enough to hang both Hunter and Joe several times over. Wouldn’t that put the cat among the pigeons?

      I have to switch from sending my modest contribution to Orlov from Patreon to another site. Perhaps our esteemed host might want to consider such a move. Its only a matter of time for him, as well. Orlov will hardly be inconvenienced at all. Russia can sell it’s oil elsewhere. Meanwhile, gas is over $7 a gallon in Holywood–coming soon to a gas station near you. Who is actually being pinched here? The Saud and the UAE have apparently rebuffed Biden’s advances. We might end up buying from Iran and Venezuela. I’m sure they won’t sell without major concessions. One might have thought he would have made prior arrangements before sanctioning Russian oil. Biden isn’t budging on restrictions on producing our own, either.

      The credit card companies have shut off the Russsian’s lines of credit, so the populace was issued new cards out of China. If I were among them, I wouldn’t pay my outstanding balance. Let Visa sue me. Technically, the Ukraine fell on the second day of the invasion. The mop up may not thebe going as smoothly as was planned, Like the Philippines when Marcos took over and the communist took to the mountains, the remainder of Azov battalions might end up as bands of thugs and guerrillas festering in the more inaccessible and out-of-the-way places taking pot shots at passersby. Of course, we’ll supply them candestinely with arms.

        “I have to switch from sending my modest contribution to Orlov from Patreon to another site. ”

        I also got the message from Dmitry, but the links he provided to move to Boosty were not live.

        There is no way for me to figure out how to get to Boosty and transfer my subscription there.

        Plus, I had just been charged by Patreon for my annual fee for the Orlov subscription, and now have nothing to show for it.

        Instead of just “here” he should have taken the trouble to type out the two relevant URLs.

        Also, what about the annual subscription that is now worthless?

    Global Famine is one of the larger agendas of the Ukraine conflict. This will be almost effortless beyond sanctions on Russian fertiliser. Famine is the third part of the trifecta of pestilence and war. A predictable rerun of earlier hostilities.
    India’s familiarity with bureaucratically-induced famine during the East India Company’s reign of terror is unequivocal on this point. Mao’s Great Leap Forward also ushered in massive famine with central planning inspiration.

      The whole world is facing global famine because one country’s wheat crop is at risk? Get a grip! There are lots of other large countries that grow wheat such as Canada and the U.S. Ever been to Alberta or Manitoba? They have a whole lot of land up there to grow food, and they’re getting more all the time if you believe in global warming. Argentina made a fortune growing wheat during World War I. There’s no reason they couldn’t do it again. I heard they need money.

        Topical issue in Todays ‘Briefing”

        CONGRESSMAN WARNS OF FOOD SHORTAGES: In a House hearing last week, Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA) warned of global “hunger and the disruption of democracies in the Western hemisphere because of the lack of food supply.” The effects of fertilizer shortages will be felt within 12 months, he said. Scott made brief mention of an intelligence report that estimated that a “5-10 percent reduction in the global food supply” would pose threats to “people in the Western hemisphere and the potential disruption of democracies” there. “I do think this is coming,” Scott said. (Analyst Comment: Rep. Scott is from Georgia, a heavily agricultural state. He reports that the higher cost of diesel fuel and fertilizer will lead to decreased domestic food production. Meanwhile, the latest estimate is that Ukraine will have about 50% of normal yields this year. Russia and Ukraine account for about 12% of global food. If reports of yield reductions are true and the trend of countries cutting off fertilizer and food exports continue, then we will likely experience that 5% drop in food production, causing global food shortages as soon as this year and into 2023.

      • Islander March 14, 2022 at 1:05 pm #

        “The whole world is facing global famine because one country’s wheat crop is at risk? Get a grip!”

        Not “the whole world” in the same way.

        Many countries are more dependent on grain from “wheat basket” Ukraine and Russia than others. Many of those countries do not have viable alternatives because their own ecologies of water and forests were totally destroyed by the activities of earlier H. sapiens a few thousand years ago: Greece, North Africa, Mesopotamia (Iraq), Persia (Iran), Palestine and Lebanon . . .

        Plato wrote about this problem of erosion and destruction, don’t don’t quarrel with me.

        Other countries will likely be more impacted by costs of transportation to urban centers.

        Here in the USA I look at the moiunds of even fresh produce that is sold in small, one-use plastic containers. The whole supply chain is now dependent on plastic packaging even for a large percentage of the produce sold.

        Then there is the distribution within the country.

        Slight farther down the road is the salinization and pollution of the Central Valley in California owing to decades of irrigation.

        https://www.watereducation.org/post/salinity-central-valley-critical-problem

        And our own grain and corn production is dependent on intense fertilizer application and fossil fuels to run the machinery.

        Just trying to “get a grip” on the many hazards facing food production and distribution . . .

        • TaxDonkey March 17, 2022 at 12:05 am #

          As far as I can tell, the really big deal at the moment is natural gas shortages directly leading to ammonia-based fertilizer shortages. No fertilizer = much less food. At the same time, many countries have turned to natural gas for generating electricity. The middle east for example. Or Europe since solar panels are working so well. NOT. So there’s an inherent competition between food and electricity with respect to natural gas.

          The global population is in too deep now with the status quo to turn on a dime and 7.8 billion people suddenly start small scale farming and using human feces for fertilizer.

They all believed they were superheros and totally rejected the perfectly apparent fact that men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women. Physically, we simply don’t measure up. When I told them I once was bested by an 11-year-old boy in a play wrestling match, they scoffed. I can only suppose they’ve never had a man show them his strength. The wierdest thing about the conversation was that it was instigated by a woman who was in a BDSM relationship and found nothing odd about spouting exteme feminist nonsence from the safety of her dom’s protection. I can only suppose it amused him, as he allowed it. She got herself so worked up that she was forbidden facebook the next day.

    These places are deeply religious, and deeply conservative. The “global south” is much more conservative then anything in Europe. It is no surprise to me that DJT has done, and will do in 2024, so well with the Legio Hispania. People from the “global south” are 19th century thinkers.

          I read early on that it had something to do with Kamala Harris. But I don’t remember the exact story. Something like he was paid to do it. Maybe to give her a platform to further get people upset at racism. That might be why he’s screaming about not being depressed… he expects to be Epsteined.

            Anti-lynching bill. The Ho was one of 3 co-sponsors (the others: Cory Booker and Tim Scott) while in the Senate. Of course the racist Nazi homophobic Republicans in the House of Misrepresentatives failed to bring it up for a vote ’cause it would eliminate one of their favorite recreational activities.

            Hard to believe that until 2019 lynching was perfectly legal in this country. If only we’d known! So many missed opportunities…

            Poor bastard (Juicy that is), he’s still a victim according to the articles I pulled up. Triple helping of reparations for poor Juicy.

    “America has no intention of actually defending Ukraine. It’s really just a global version of the interpersonal game “Let’s You and Him Fight,” as described by pioneering psychologist Eric Berne (1910 -1970), father of transactional analysis.”

    YES! This game also fits precisely with the Chinese order of battle. The Chinese will use states in their sphere of influence to fight their adversaries. North Korea anyone? I need a score card.

    The Bush/Clinton/Obama/Biden Crime Syndicate, a faction of the WEF Global Billionaire Cartel, has been using Ukraine like a bidet to clean themselves for many years, so in this war they seek the destruction of evidence, and the canceling of Russia. They crossed the Rubicon at the meeting in the oval office where they plotted to take down Gen. Flynn – they’ve been ALL IN GLOBALLY since. Even most ‘red-pilled’ Americans are only now seeing that.

    The Syndicate knew it couldn’t hold America with it’s political agenda – they knew this for certain when Trump won the election in 2016 and they have implemented plans to hold power. Those plans included a giant boner for Russia. But the syndicate needed help, and they got help from China, who was already embedded like a tick on our scalp. The Syndicate, and it’s membership are fairly sick individuals with some really bad habits. They’re all easily corrupted, and there is plenty-o-Chinese-cash to make that happen. Cheap-money. The point being, now that the Syndicate has found a patron in China, they must continue doing China’s bidding.

    The Russians are fighting back against being canceled. Neither America nor Russia come out of this stronger and Ukraine gets flushed.

    Cui bono?

    Only China benefits.

    • zekesdad March 14, 2022 at 11:34 am #

      The big problems with your analysis is that China and Russia are now best friends, Russia and the U.S. aren’t fighting each other, and no one made Putin attack Ukraine.

        Keep your friends close and your enemies closer…

        Smiling faces, sometimes… pretend to be your friend.

        Enemies, is probably too harsh a word for the Chinese towards the Russians, perhaps competitor is a better word. I believe, from what I’ve read over the years that China see’s it’s destiny as world leader.

        The Chinese will encourage the Russian – American conflict from both sides of the issue, and they are absolutely giddy with the prospect of these two heavy weights pummeling each other on the ropes. The Chinese version of “Let’s you and him fight,” is a variation of Muhammad Ali’s “Rope a Dope,” only in this case both dopes are on the rope.

    Seems to me, the powers that be have to manufacture distractions. Has anyone noticed nothing works anymore? I’ve been getting bills from the local medical monolith. They billed me $1,240.00 and when I checked my statement from United Healthcare, I owed $42.08. Another bill was for $391.50 on an original $906.00 charge. My insurance company has never seen that particular bill. I am not even sure it is mine How many poor folks are just paying these charges? Will they every see a refund?

    My tax return went to the state authority. A letter arrives claiming they need copies of my W-2 and 1099’s. Alas, my copy 2’s are missing because I sent them in with my return. Somewhere at the tax authority, part of my tax return went MIA. No doubt, this is my just punishment because I won’t e-file. I made copies of the documents and sent them off Hopefully, my small refund will be properly applied to next year’s taxes as I requested.

      • MiddlePeninsula March 14, 2022 at 1:52 pm #

        Copy fed is for the fed return. Copy 2 is for state returns. Copy c is your copy. That is why I knew I sent in my documents because my copy 2’s were missing.
        However, many times a 1099 is only one copy. The only thing I expect is from them is to keep my paperwork together until someone can process it. It is kind of like them saying they don’t have your tax return but they cashed the check you sent with it.

    They don’t really want the problem solved in Ukraine. Instead they want to ramp it up even further starting with non-kinetic warfare. Hillary, the neocons and the neolibs were more or less looking for world war III with Russia before Trump got in the way of the party. I guess they couldn’t forgive them for crimea, Snowden and RT. Now they want to bring the world down in flames just like the USA and along the way we can be jabbed every month so we can consider ourselves safe as they feed us safe news and protect against unsafe misinformation, which will be useful down in the bunkers.

    42 false flags admitted to by the govt.s that committed them.(https://washingtonsblog.com/42-admitted-false-flag-attacks/) We are on the cusp of several more, coming to a neighborhood near you. William Casey, head of the CIA whenever, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”. Mission Accomplished !! Like getting everyone to believe we live in a democracy. What happens when 51% of the people vote to kill the other 49%, which is basically what is happening now. Only I call it mob rule. That is why our constitution states we live in a constitutional republic based on the rule of law. LMFAO!!
    So, without further ado, and for your listening pleasure, we present to you Smash Mouth. Better take heed…..

    It ain’t no joke I’d like to buy the world a toke
    And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
    And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
    Hey I know it’s just a song but it’s spice for the recipe
    This is a love attack, I know it went out but it’s back
    It’s just like any fad, it retracts before impact
    And just like fashion it’s a passion for the with-it and hip
    If you got the goods they’ll come and buy it
    Just to stay in the clique

    So don’t delay, act now, supplies are running out
    Allow, if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive
    And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
    But if the offer’s shunned
    You might as well be walking on the sun

    Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
    Of recession and oppression and together they toked
    And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
    Just singing and clapping, man, what the hell happened?
    Then some were spellbound some were hell-bound
    Some they fell down and some got back up and
    Fought back against the melt down
    And their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites
    Because fashion is smashing the true meaning of it

    So don’t delay, act now, supplies are running out
    Allow, if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive
    And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
    But if the offer’s shunned
    You might as well be walking on the sun

    It ain’t no joke when a mama’s handkerchief is soaked
    With her tears because her baby’s life has been revoked
    The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up
    Mr. Wizard can’t perform no godlike hocus-pocus
    So don’t sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
    News at ten, your neighborhood is under attack
    Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
    You need to be there when your baby’s old enough to relate

    So don’t delay, act now, supplies are running out
    Allow, if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive
    And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
    But if the offer’s shunned
    You might as well be walking on the sun

      The word “bedrock” would probably be more suited to people who didn’t deliberately have children they can’t afford,
      with fathers they can’t identify.

            That Luongo article posted above had a good theory on this It makes sense they would want to do this, keeping in mind that Russia and China have been buying gold hand over fist for quite a few years now and the US probably doesn’t have much. If Russia offers a discount for oil with the stipulation that payment must be made in physical metal, this is a problem for the West because most of the gold that theoretically exists is only paper not backed by the real thing. The usdebtclock.org in the bottom right corner it shows the paper to actual metal ratio is over 100! If people don’t want paper anymore, this whole fraudulent market blows up. One analogy is that when you pull into the gas station, you don’t want a paper certificate of gasoline contract, you want the actual commodity. If the market blows up, then those who have the gold make the rules, or so the saying goes….

  19. Claire Potter March 14, 2022 at 11:09 am #

    Great article. Russia has many reasonable security reasons for its Ukraine, a US vassal state, military operation,. One of the reasons must be the US biological “research facilities” in the Ukraine. Putin knows that COVID-19 is a reckless US/European WEF inspired war on the world.

    Last time we dropped any bombs of significance we had Truman (a Democrat) sitting in the Oval Office. Biden keeps claiming that he wants to be the modern day FDR (another Democrat, if not closet Socialist). I am sure that Biden want to follow in both FDR’s and Truman’s footsteps to boldly lead us through this “Russian war of aggression” and reinstitute some fireside chats.

    “If you can’t convince them, confuse them.” ~Harry S. Truman
    “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” ~Harry S. Truman

    By the way, today is 3/14 so happy Pi day to everyone! Also, tomorrow is the Ides of March, so be very wary towards the events of the day.

    Hope everyone has adjusted well to getting back onto standard time after Daylight Savings.

          Sure, truth is the first casualty in a war, but the Ukranian cities we see every day being shelled and bombed by airplanes are not military targets. It would only make sense if some of the collateral damage was to places such as hospitals and orphanages. Millions of refugees are not fleeing to countries like Poland for nothing.

            The pregnant lady coming out of the bombed hospital is a famous yukie model, who they showed several takes of going back in and out and then after her ambulance drove away they caught a picture of her standing around outside the hospital again.

FX ownership has now been shown to be an illusion! You do NOT own what the system said you did. Laws? We don’t need no stinkin laws (to follow). Holy Shit Batman! On a smaller scale, the traitor in Canada executed this on a personal scale, destroying any confidence in Canadian banking laws. We are now seeing theft, cloaked as anti-Russian valor, throughout Europe. Again – laws are now malleable and dependent on what WE feel is right.
    Society is now “saying” thru actions that laws ,based on established principles, can be ignored. You’re now left with. – If you can’t defend it, you don’t own it. Mortgage paid off? Sorry, doesn’t apply to this situation, you’re Russian.
    How long until this permeates the financial realm, rending asunder the dollar hegemony? CIPS anyone? Got PM’s?
    This is building into the most awesome manifestation of the Chinese (how apropos) curse “May you live in Interesting times”.
    Nuff Said.

    The best way to counter the bureaucracy who poo-poos “conspiracy theories’ is to use facts. Jim, you’ve been writing for months about all massive number of deaths from the vaccine, but I’ve never seen you furnish any statistics to support that claim. How many people have died from the vaccine vs. how many from Covid itself? Do you have even a rough estimate of the actual numbers or a percentage? The last time I checked the “official” death count from the vaccine was over 800,000. Some say that the count is being inflated by a corrupt medical establishment in order to get more federal money. Again, who exactly is doing that, and how has it been hidden so long by so many people? I’ve taken the vaccine and the booster, as have most all the people I know. None of them have had bad reactions to the vaccine, and a few have caught a mild case of covid. The people I know or know about who have died or have serious long-term problems from Covid are the ones who refused to get the vaccine or wear a mask

    You must have a very pessimistic view of the American people if you think they would be disappointed if the problems in Ukraine were suddenly stopped. I see a universal revulsion at the murderous war crimes and destruction at the hands of Vladimir Putin. The way to stop the problem he started is for him to order his forces to retreat. Joe Biden isn’t the one risking World War III, Putin is. He’s the one who marched into a peaceful country that is no threat to Russia or anyone else. He’s the one who put his nuclear forces on high alert. It is he who is creating a humanitarian crisis, and threatening NATO, a defensive organization. You contradicted yourself when you said, “The U.S. government now seeks a wider kinetic war over its would be client state, Ukraine.”; You then said, “America actually has no intention of actually defending Ukraine.” Which is it? I hope the U.S. is pouring weapons into that country turning the tables and having for once the U.S. furnishing the weapons to determined guerrilla fighters.

            I read some of the stories. They are terrible.I’m beginning to think most doctors should be imprisoned – or worse. Many of the people had a bout of covid and then they get the shot? Doesn’t make sense to me. Some of the people had bad reactions after the first shot, then take the 2nd shot? Not smart, imo. Some were forced into shots by their employers – who should be jailed.

            We’ve been tripled jabbed. I took a risk because of my age at the time (76). We were lucky, no effects at all, except each time the injection site on my left arm got more sore. I’m done with any more shots. I don’t know if I’ll ultimately be brought down by the vax, but I’ve already lived most of my life, so I’m fine with any ultimate problem. Same with my wife.

            I think what gets me is how willing a large percentage of the public just unquestioningly gets their shots. I read today the medical authorities are saying people will soon need a 4th shot. I just foresee an announcement down the line that everyone will need their 20th jab.

            The medical industry needs a major reset now! That would be their 1st anti-jab.

        • Jarek March 14, 2022 at 12:27 pm #

          You have to start at the beginning: the PCR test is meaningless, certainly at the cycles they ran it at. In any case, it was never designed for this. Thus the Pandemic was a Case-a-demic. The creator begged them not to use it this way, but it was the perfect false positive machine so they did. And of course the Pandemic was also a Plan-demic. The paper trail is quite clear.

          Next step: No big excess deaths in 2020. Just another flu and cold season with those diseases relabeled as covid. The excess deaths started with the Vax.

          Ok, I think I’ve gotten you up to speed.

            Thanks for reminding us of the facts behind the Pandemic of Fear. I first became aware the fraud behind using the PCR test to define the scope of the Pandemic in February of 2020 after about ten minutes of research.

            If a commoner sitting behind a PC in a remote mountain valley could see the fraud clearly on day one, how is it that the forces of Medical Totalitarianism did not know what they were doing and should not pay in front of firing squads?

          So in my state they are doing a Covid recount. I guess it was not as bad as they told us. Originally if you died within 60 days of a covid test you went in the covid column. Now if you were positive within 30 days you go in the covid column. even if you died in a lawnmower accident.

          “‘Beginning Monday, March 14, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) will update the criteria used for identifying COVID-19 deaths to align with guidance from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. Currently, the COVID death definition includes anyone who has COVID listed as a cause of death on their death certificate, and any individual who has had a COVID-19 diagnosis within 60 days but does not have COVID listed as a cause of death on their death certificate. The updated definition reduces this timeframe from 60 days to 30 days for individuals without a COVID diagnosis on their death certificate.”

            Stelmos:

            So if someone dies because of the jab, and it’s been more than 30 days, they won’t list the cause of death as vaccine related. This whole c.o.d. thing is bullshit. They ought to at least indicate on the death certificate that someone had both the jab and covid within the last 30 or 60 days, if it’s possible to get the info.

            People die all the time, so I think any c.o.d. figures only give an incomplete picture.

        Mothers that have died from Covid can no longer take care of their children either. I don’t doubt that some people have had adverse reactions including death from the vaccine. That’s true of the flu vaccine as well. The question I have is how many. Is the vaccine worse than the disease? James and you seem to think so. I’m just asking to see the data.

      You must have a very pessimistic view of the American people if you think they would be disappointed if the problems in Ukraine were suddenly stopped. I see a universal revulsion at the murderous war crimes and destruction at the hands of Vladimir Putin.

      Perhaps your view of Americans is slightly rose-colored. Are you serious? No one actually wants the war to stop. It’s interesting. We love war, we love acting as if we’re repulsed by it, we are shallow. We know it’s wrong, but we enjoy the concept that it’ll keep going. We are flawed in this way. Remember Shock N’ Awe in 2003? Who didn’t stay up until 4am those first nights watching the bombs drop in Baghdad and shamefully wish to see more?

      It’s something to talk about, posture over and pretend how much it all matters. With covid out of the way, something else has to be all-important, a new punchcard must be publicly filled to maintain status amongst one’s peers.

      Enter (mostly fake) stories of unimaginable war crimes. Babies tossed from incubators. Nazis bayoneting babies. Babies this, kids that. Whatever sounds the worst, that’s the story. The Germans in the 1930s didn’t do much good for the public’s bullshit meter…they got caught up in the joy of death and now people will believe anything because we know some of those things can actually happen.

      Anyway, most all of what we’re hearing right now out of Ukraine is likely bullshit, created for immediate, uncurated ingestion.

      Soldiers shooting each other on the streets during a skirmish? That’s real. Everything else is almost always crap, unworthy of a second thought. Never happened.

    Deagel Study – US population projected to be 100MM in 2025. US population today 330MM. Seventy percent reduction in US population in the next three years.

    What was the vax target rate that we heard over & over & over, ad nauseum? That’s right 70%. The vax is clearly a time-delayed lethal injection – disease(s) needing time to progress & present.

    Too much proof is, and has been, starting to percolate to the surface – becoming harder to hide – they need distraction to hide their complicity in the depopulation goal.

    They’re trying to put as much distance between the “vaccine” and any vax injuries and associated deaths, as possible. It’s our responsibility to keep the pressure on and keep them from burying the truth.

    It never was COVID – it’s the mRNA “vaccine” – every single bit of propaganda, funneling people to the vax. Every one of these complicit evil fuckers needs to hang – the delusional & ill-informed included.

      While I don’t disagree, I sure hope not. Nearly all of my family and friends jumped on all of that. Don’t want to see them start dropping. “See, I told ya so” won’t really help me in that scenario.

      • Ron Anselmo March 14, 2022 at 12:42 pm #

        Right there with you Mango – my immediate family, myself, wife & two sons are not vaxxed. Everyone else in the extended family – both sides – is vaxxed & boosted.

        One vax injured – previously healthy & active, 48, with two teens – who will never admit it was the vax. One passed from an aggressive cancer – first in family history. One had heart valve replacement – first in family history.

        Won’t stop there unfortunately – just a matter of time – and yes, “See, I told you so” won’t help, nor will those words ever cross my lips. Heartbreaking more like it.

        Best to you and your family.

        • beantownbill. March 14, 2022 at 2:49 pm #

          I doubt the vax is 100% fatal. Nothing is, although some death rates are high for some conditions. I’m sure you know that hundreds of millions have been vaxxed, and how many have already had bad symptoms? A few million? Less than 1%. Remember when people here were saying that covid wasn’t that bad, just a flu because the death rate was only a few percent, just like a traditional flu? And now you’re saying 1% is very bad.

          The body is an amazing structure, and although we know a lot about it, we are far from knowing everything. Yes, it’s obvious that the vax and debilitating symptom rates will go up in the future, but there’s no evidence that it’ll be at 100%, even if some medical people say so, because the future hasn’t happened yet. It’s just conjecture. You don’t know all the body’s defense mechanisms.

        Your’re right Paula. The combination of excess death rates, coupled with a drop in birth rates, will net a pretty steep decline in population going forward.

    Zelensky still doesn’t realize he’s only a shill and the calvary is not coming, even after all their promises. The UK, France, Germany do not want to get bombed and I imagine they’ve made that very clear to the Biden handlers.

    What worries me is the recklessness of Blinken, Nuland and Zelensky. They must realize on some level that they’ve overplayed their hand and Russia is not going to stop until they’ve achieved a ceasefire. While the war could be over in months, if not weeks, restoring order will take years and ridding the country of the neo-Nazis installed by Nuland won’t be easy. And the CIA has probably schooled them in the art of false-flag events to keep the war going.

      Zelensky is may not be as dumb as he seems, but he is not bright. And I think he has no choice now.

      How did he become President? Who supports him?

      I imagine his American handlers are telling him something like this:

      “Mr President, we are inspired by your leadership and by the courage and bravery of the Ukranian people! We admire and support you fully! We will continue to send arms, Javelins and Stingers, which the Russians cannot detect and stop.

      Your brave soldiers have inflicted serious blows on the invaders! They are growing weary! Their progress has been stopped. Now you that you are on the cusp of victory, YOU MUST continue to press on! We, errr, YOU, you cannot let victory slip through your hands. You must stay the course and save your country from the Russian barbarians and the devil Putin. In the long run, we will make HIM and all Russians pay for what they have done. But right now, you must continue to fight. Use negotiations to delay, but NEVER submit to the Russian terms. Tell them when every Russian soldier leaves Ukraine, then you will sit down and consider Russian concerns.

      Victory is at hand, President Zelensky! In the unlikely event that things get difficult for you and your family, rest assured, we will guarantee your safety, and that of your loved ones. That is the least we can do.

      However, if you falter, if you walk away from near certain victory, and give Putin what he wants, then our position will become very difficult, and we may not be able to protect you and your family in time. As you know, there are some unsavory elements in our coalition which we cannot control, like the Azov brigade…

      So, if things get difficult, do not compromise or surrender–we will get you out. But if you compromise, that will be more difficult. We can protect you from the Russians, but not from the hard line patriots…

      Again, we salute you and your country, and continue to support your valiant battle against the invader–Godspeed!”

      So what does Volodymyr Zelensky do with that?

      • Paula D March 15, 2022 at 2:09 pm #

        I’m guessing they are more blunt than that.
        In the last 2 weeks, as I recall, he has said 3 times that he is ready to negotiate and then he comes back out and says, No, not really.
        They are telling him something quite openly to change his mind, in my opinion.

        • ThorsHammer March 16, 2022 at 7:05 pm #

          Paula

          The war was essentially over on day two, with the Russians in control of the skies and much of the Ukranian army isolated in enclaves. Any rational leader would have attempted to negotiate as much of the remaining sovereignty of his country into a settlement that would allow it’s survival as a nation-state. There is little evidence that Zelensky is a leader or statesman who could have succeeded. Certainly not in view of the fact that his US sponsors see the conflict as a means to prolong the war as long as possible to bleed Russia to its knees and allow the US economic sanctions war to triumph. Perfect situation to feed in advanced weapons and armed drones to enable guerilla bands to inflict maximum damage. And the US could care less how many bodies stack up along the way or how many Ukrainian wolves feast upon them.

          Least there be any question, Zelensky probably was called into an “advisory conference” in which it was pointed out that his life expectancy could be measured in hours or days if he should actually sue for peace.

    Another great essay today, James. Thank you.

    “The member nations of NATO have even less desire to join the battle, and are doing a poor job of pretending they oppose Russia’s disagreeable but necessary work there.”

    The US apparatus thinks it will be able to bully the rest of the world into submission forever. I think they are caught in Rovian think: They create their own reality. The ‘reality’ seems to be the type of propaganda they believe controls everyone. But it doesn’t control everyone. Twatter and CNN are illusions (maybe even delusions). Even though they are in league with Europe/NATO, there is a limit to what they can do to get the average person to act against our own self-interests. Or so I hope.

    As always, I enjoy your optimism, James. I agree that lots of bad things are gonna have to happen before anything turns around.

    Oh boy! The DC numb nuts are about to jump out of the frying pan and into the lake of fire.

    Jake Sullivan says ‘there will absolutely be consequences’ if China aids Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
    ‘We will not stand by and allow’ China to economically support Russia’s war, Sullivan says

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jake-sullivan-china-russias-invasion-ukraine

    Top US and Chinese officials hold high-stakes meeting in Rome

    Sullivan told Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the US was “watching closely” to see whether China provides any support to Russia.

    “It is a concern of ours. And we have communicated to Beijing that we will not stand by and allow any country to compensate Russia for its losses from the economic sanctions,” Sullivan said.

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/14/china/china-us-meeting-rome-ukraine-intl-hnk/index.html

        So what’s your pet non-wacky theory, Redneck, for the 86,000 excess deaths (84% increase) in the healthiest tranche of the US population, the 25-44-year-olds, since the vaxx rollout? And the peaks (in all-cause mortality) which have exactly followed the mandates and the boosters?

        As Ed Dowd says, way more than the 58,000 killed in Vietnam.

        https://lorphicweb.com/shocking-findings-on-increased-deaths-in-25-to-44-year-olds-edward-dowd/

            Calling Redface, calling Redface …

            Thoughts on millennial democide?

            It’s happening in Scotland too. They’re going to ‘investigate’ the increase in all-cause mortality, as if they didn’t already know what it is down to.

            They’re even claiming to be investigating the spike in newborn baby deaths too.

            https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-59347464

            But I wouldn’t hold your breath. It’s a bit difficult investigating something when you already know what’s causing it and you have to come up with something else that doesn’t let the cat out of the bag. Especially when the cat is out of the bag anyway apart from the very tip of its furry little tail.

          • Redneck Liberal March 15, 2022 at 7:12 pm #

            (“Redface”? That’s beneath you, GA.)

            I’ve read the article from the BBC (surprised you used a mainstream outlet that surely you don’t trust). Very interesting. Obviously, you assume that any such outlier statistic is due entirely to the vaccine “plot” because you’ve fallen down that very weird & convoluted rabbit hole. There were some useful facts in the article, such as:

            ” Deaths of newborn babies have fallen steadily in recent decades with the mortality rate per 1,000 births dropping from double figures in the 1970s to 2.1 in 2020.

            Fallen from double figures 50 years ago? Wow.

            Now a single-month spike in cases has triggered a process to investigate. Have they released the October numbers? November? Is this a new trend upwards or a one-off outlier? Clearly, more information is needed to come to some sort of valid conclusion.

            You used to be all evidence-based…no longer, sadly. You’ve got the CT ‘virus’.

          • Redneck Liberal March 15, 2022 at 7:17 pm #

            As for Mr. Dowd’s analysis/interpretation of CDC data (and the graph on that article), what’re his credentials in mathematics? He is surely, with his Blackrock history and the fact that he STILL working in fund management (i.e. capitalistic exploitation of the masses), one of the “Deep State elites”. So?

            Where I come from ‘redface’ denotes nothing more than embarrassment. And you surely should be embarrassed.

            Mr Dowd had insurance industry friends working on the CDC figures with him. Insurance industry folks aren’t interested in ideologies or politics – they’re interested in the evidence base on which they can develop their policies.

            You come up with the same disingenuous nonsense every time you’re asked a question.

            Why don’t you give us your interpretation of why the spike in deaths in 25 to 44-year-olds exactly followed the timing of the boosters and the vaxx mandates. We’re all ears.

    Thanks for the reminders of the GMO injectables toll and the stolen election.
    It is All Ukraine, All The Time here now in the Land Of The Propagandized.
    The sudden concern for the safety and welfare of Ukrainians (after 8 years of ignoring them) would be touching if it weren’t so grotesquely twisted into Hate against Russians.
    The propagandists play us so easily it is disturbing.
    A Russian woman’s statement has been shared on social media…
    A message from Natascha Janssen in the Netherlands:
    “As many of you may know, my mother was born in the former Soviet Union, in Ukraine, where my extensive family is a mix of Russi@ns and Ukraini@ns. Because of this, I feel called to share my vision on the developments in Ukraine.
    With my Russian/Ukrainian roots, I love both nations very much, centuries-old brotherly nations merging with each other. When you asked my Ukrainian-born mother if she felt more Russian than Ukrainian, she replied, ‘That’s a weird question I have no answer to. There is a difference in our language, our music and dance but our hearts are one.’
    This is how I was raised and spent 40 years — the most beautiful holidays of my life — in love and togetherness, experienced in Russia and Ukraine, in the former Soviet Union.
    It’s good that everyone in the Netherlands is now speaking out against waging a war. No one supports war.
    But why was everyone silent when that war started 8 years ago?
    Why didn’t everyone swear at the slaughter of thousands of citizens in Eastern Ukraine?
    Why didn’t everyone swear at Ukraine for not following the Minsk agreements?
    Where was everyone who looked away when 52 people were burnt alive in Odessa?
    Where was everyone who thought it was fine that a 2014 elected government was overthrown and a major European country was taken over by bunch of neo-nazis?
    Where was everyone when the Ukrainian regime took away from Russian Ukrainians their basic human rights?
    Speaking Russian was banned, the right to pensions disappeared for Russians, and children who spoke Russian and had Russian names were no longer welcome at school.
    Where was everyone when torch rallies were organized by neo nazis spouting slogans like “Russians on the gas”?
    And finally, where was everyone who was silent when large parts of this beautiful country, once Europe’s grain barn, were sold to banks and investors for an apple and an egg, e.g. exploitation for genetic manipulations of Monsanto and Europe’s latest mega bio industry?
    My niece in Ukraine saw such a factory farm built in front of her house. The incessant screaming of those animals packed so close together, and then those big deafening silences…
    Take note: In Ukraine there was only one small-scale breed of beef before the country came into the possession of western block.
    Ukraine has been transformed into a vassal of the West for 8 years. A colony. And all this at the expense of man, animal, nature and environment.
    So why only now is the compassion of the people channeled into rage against the war?
    The Ukrainian population has been living in war for 8 years. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have already fled to Russia, including my relatives, like my niece and her family.
    Of course I know that most people have no idea about this side of the story because our news service gives a very one-sided picture of the situation. I’m now providing that information from the other side. Do what you will, but silence is no longer an option for me.
    I can only hope that peace will come soon for ALL Ukrainians, Russian and Ukrainian speakers.”

    • Jarek March 14, 2022 at 1:01 pm #

      Ukraine will only know peace when it is run by Ukrainians for Ukrainians – not by an International Cabal. America? The same.

      The Cabal hides behind their hired thugs so that they get the blame. The Cabal in America blames everything on Whites and any Whites who complain are labeled Nazis. Very similar since many of the same people are involved. And all Oligarchies tend to use the same time tested methods in any case with only the variables being different, not the equations per se.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    The Forward Observer in today’s briefing:

    GAO: THE CAPITOL NEEDS SECURITY UPGRADES: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) called for better preparation before the next large demonstration at the Capitol. GAO says that better use of force, stronger physical barriers, upgraded crowd control training, and realistic training for large, violent crowds are needed. Retention concerns for Capitol Police are notable with personnel attrition up by 60% in FY21 compared to previous years. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger stated that they are understaffed by over 425 officers. (AC: With the upcoming election season and outlook for 2024, Capitol Police are resetting their security posture. Expect the federal government’s domestic security posture long term to increase due to concern that extremism is threatening democracy. – D.F.)

    Apparently, more training is needed to control “large, violent crowds”

    What do they know that we don’t?

    To quote our Host;

    ” the US government now seeks a wider kinetic war over its would-be client state, Ukraine.”

    Perhaps a kinetic war against all enemies, foreign and domestic?

    Who knows?

      There is no way we could possibly overthrow our government today if we wanted to. Our Founding Fathers would be very disappointed with this. At least this all shows the government is able to look forward and put plans in place to protect their interests, unlike the interests of the American people. How come they are unable to plan ahead and build a fence to protect the American borders from unlawful entry?

            Islander, I’m pretty sure the dollar will be toast but perhaps the last domino to fall. There’s a pretty good theory out there that Russia will demand physical gold as payment for the purchase of oil and other commodities. He would offer a steep discount for payment in gold and cause a rush of physical gold purchases that would crumble the paper precious metals market very quickly along with the dollar. That’s like the nuclear option but does Putin look like he’s playing games anymore? I think the west made a big mistake by using weaponizing the SWIFT and seizing assets. This will push the world away from the dollar reserve that much faster..A lot of people have commented, including Martin Armstrong, that all the fiat currencies are trash, but if someone decided to force a gold pricing mechanism???

          • Islander March 15, 2022 at 2:03 pm #

            My recollection is that Armstrong speculated that long-term the dollar is probably toast, but short- to medium-term it will still be the least “ugly” currency in our side of the global split.

            As for forcing a gold pricing mechanism, I don’t know who could do that if the globe is split into two halves.

            Why are people piling on me?
            I merely cited a different point of view, namely, Armstrong’s, regarding the “toastification” of the dollar, which most here seem to think is imminent. Armstrong disagreed with this and stated why he thought this.

            OK? Relax. .

      Jarek, they seem to think it’s a matter of marketing correctly. People don’t like boosters so often? Well, just market the same product as an annual shot.

      • Paula D March 15, 2022 at 2:15 pm #

        Like the flu shot.
        It doesn’t work, but get it anyway. Hospital workers have to get it since Obamacare passed and that was part of it.
        And now they are using the fact that the flu shot doesn’t work to justify forced inoculation with the GMO shot. “The flu shot doesn’t work either but people have to take it, because vaccines aren’t supposed to give you immunity. Duh!”
        And the fact that hospital workers are forced into to it is used to justify forcing everyone else.
        They got balls, I’ll say that!

    The perps and their camp-followers who were responsible for the Covid19 fiasco will be hoping that the memory hole in the US (and maybe the whole world) will be big enough to swallow the uber-questionable Covid19 official narrative. So the memory hole’s jaws are now being exercised to see if they can be sufficiently stretched to engulf and wolf down Covid19, maybe without even a burp. This is certainly possible assuming there are sufficient people whose mindset is not driven by logic. How many of them can there be? Well, every time you see a person currently wearing a mask while walking outdoors or driving alone in a car you are probably seeing a person with impaired logic circuits between the ears.

      If you see a person alone in their car wearing a mask tell them “Don’t bother with the Biden bumpersticker. We already know.”

    r/Volunteers for Ukraine

    Yes, I was here today and blown off the top bunk of my bunk bed in the barracks by the first missile. I made a long post about it but my posts don’t show on this thread for some reason. This is where all the foreign legion troops are, the 35 killed were all Ukrainian mostly due to a direct hit on their barracks next to mine. The base is destroyed, the weapons depot destroyed, possibly the end of the legion. About 60 people with their heads on straight including myself left after the attack. They’re sending untrained guys to the front with little ammo and shit AKs and they’re getting killed. The guys who stayed got bombed again in the afternoon and casualties aren’t clear. If you still want to to join them I’m not sure what the process will be since literally all the infrastructure supporting the training/assignments of volunteers is all destroyed. The guys who are there now will all be going to Kviv and many will die, the legion is totally outgunned and has a few crazy Ukrainian leaders. After the attack one officer wanted to march everyone to Kviv and fight. Absolute insanity. Stay home.

    Jarek: It suddenly all became very real for “the guys”. They are deserting en masse. They still believe in Globo-Homo, but die for it? Globo-Homo is about feeling good. How are you going to feel good without your legs? Or your head?

    They wanted to be initiated into manhood, perhaps. But realized they were just sheep for the slaughter, lead by shepherds who didn’t care about them or perhaps not even themselves. Should have joined the US Marines instead. Or maybe taken a weekend seminar with face painting and drumming. Find that wild man inside…..

    Vlad smiles. He knows. He fought in WW1 and has been fighting for over a century. A Highlander, an Immortal. He would tell if asked. But no one will ask or knows how to ask.

      A lot of them are veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, used to killing farmers and goat herders, with air support if they get scared.
      They came to apply those skills attacking people in Ukraine, (like the ones who have cycled through Donbass the past 8 years).
      When faced with an actual army capable of fighting back they wet their pants and went home.

    Exactly so JHK, “Instrument of Distraction” is exactly it. I used to watch Dan Bongino and stopped cuz he has taken Ukraine hook, line, and sinker. He’s a good guy I know, his heart is in the right place, but he’s fallen for this whole thing. He doesn’t see, the Covid narrative didn’t work so they have to do something fast, get another narrative, voila, Ukraine. What he and we should be talking about is Covid and whos going to be held responsible, the financial disaster and whos going to be held responsible, the DNC and Hillary undermining a president, the problem of our falling energy production and what we are going to do, the Freedom Truckers, the fall of Afghanistan and whos going to be held responsible. We better start worrying about ourselves and this country.

    In a closed system, creation implies destruction.

    Apparently, TPTB are trying to stage a controlled demolition.
    If so, one possible question is: is a civilization’s controlled demolition feasible?

    Human beings are nothing more than chaotic agents.

    The good news are that tranquility will return once again.
    The bad news (from a human standpoint) are that there will be no humans around to enjoy it.

    It’s not enough to believe. You have to love. Or hate. And if you love, you will hate those who threaten that which you love. It doesn’t necessarily work the other way around. If you hate, well that may suffice in itself.

    Love=Hate those who threaten that which you love.

    Hate=Love those who threaten that which you hate.

    Oh it does kind of. You just have to keep the symmetry consistent. The second equation explains the positions of the Democrat Party.

      I think “love” and “hate” are both irrational and should be extended no further than the immediate objects of those emotions – if even that far. But that would make for a boring – if somewhat more livable – world, so yeah, fuck it.

    Ain’t going to happen, Jim! Sorry, but it just isn’t.

    I am witnessing the same hysterical overreaction to Ukraine as I did with Covid (as a sign of how utterly pathetic we are, we are down to banning Russian dogs from Crufts). Everyone I know is wringing their hands over how nasty and bad ‘ol Putin is, spouting the same old one-sided MSM fake bullshit from the same old MSM talking heads, and loudly decrying these ‘expansionist’ Russians ‘invading’ a ‘friendly sovereign nation’ and ousting a ‘democratically elected government’. The inversion is staggering.

    Anything and everything that goes wrong now, be it war with the West, higher energy prices, food shortages, etc. will be the fault of the Russians (previously ‘the unvaccinated’).

    Don’t get in line and put a Ukraine flag on your social media? Cancelled. Don’t cry those crocodile tears? Cancelled. Don’t demonstrate the requisite level of fake outrage? Cancelled.

    There will be no consequences for anybody who perpetrated the Covid/vaccine scam just as there were no consequences for those who have spent the better part of my life destroying one Middle Eastern/African country after another.

    I think All disputes between nations should be solved in this manner – people elect the best fighter of their choice. Each point of contention would require another fight, so stamina would be a plus. In a fight to the death, I’m sure the ‘leaders’ would pursue every avenue of resolution before it came down to the Big Fight. But better the Big Fight than war!

    Think of the lives and the money this could save! We could do away with the military, and the military budget. A big F you to Raytheon and all the other grifter/warmongers hovering like blowflies over the carcass of Ukraine.

    “… the biggest complainers about ‘misinformation’ in the USA are biggest spreaders of it… now scent the rot of propaganda… the stench of psyop…”

    The greatest weapon of mass destruction is always the mental torture and highjacking of the citizenry. Without that, Empires cannot function. Empire must direct the thoughts and deeds and attitudes of its Slaves. Always and with no let-up or the illusions quickly disintegrate.

    Misinformation: Anything that goes against The Chosen Holy Narrative that serves The Dark Side.

    The Rules: Empires NEVER can convey anything that is ‘Misinformation’. And THAT of course is the most basic Misinformation of all.

    “Would our country be disappointed if Russia actually solves the problem of Ukraine?”

    The Ukrainian people are suffering. The Russian people are suffering. Americans are suffering. Europe is suffering. Who is not suffering? All those few who are foisting these atrocities against the People of the World. They never suffer, ever.

    “NATO… Do any of these member nations have the stomach to face their own gross institutional failures? Apparently not yet.”

    Make that NEVER. Anyone who rises to a high position of national leadership got their because they NEVER admit guilt or fault or weakness or ever self-evaluate to see if they are on a righteous course. They have convinced themselves of their utter brilliance and near-godhood. And they are always surrounded by plenty of lackeys who keep their high perches by feeding the gross insatiable egos of the Predator Class high chairs.

    “It’s only a matter of time before the swindled public flips and realizes it has been subject to mass murder by bureaucrats, politicians, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and purveyors of the news.”

    Some of the public will get to this place of realization. Many others are so shell-shocked and beaten down and poisoned by toxic injections that they can barely function let alone do much evaluating and assessing.

    “… do we want to drive events further toward tragedy and our own national suicide?”

    WE don’t. But others who hide in the shadows certainly are lusting for this.

    Apparently the Human race is the only form of animal with such a hatred of itself. You don’t see other forms of natural creatures plotting to do away with themselves. You have to be a much-evolved ‘human’ to develop such a delusional quality.

    I know it’s only Monday, so maybe too soon to be straying from matters in hand, but here are two bits of peak something (not sure what) from Airstrip One.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-60667533

    “Nicola Sturgeon has offered a formal apology to people accused of witchcraft between the 16th and 18th centuries, many of whom were executed.”

    Yes, really.

    And:

    https://www.dailymNHS-funded clinic is promoting prostitution as a way for trans people to pay for their treatmentail.co.uk/news/article-10606811/NHS-funded-clinic-promoting-prostitution-way-trans-people-pay-treatment.html

    “NHS-funded clinic is promoting prostitution as a way for trans people to pay for their treatment”

    I think the witchy one wins by a reasonable margin in terms of lunacy, while the other one wins in terms of peak irresponsibility, since it seems to be encouraging transwomen to take risks in some very dangerous places in order to pay their trans bills.

    • MaryQueen March 14, 2022 at 4:28 pm #

        I should have actually said it is the transmen (i.e. biological women) who are at risk in these situations (e.g. ‘in a quiet woodland, late at night’ or in a men-only sauna). Incredible. So, basically, women being put at risk BY transwomen (in women-only spaces) and AS transmen in men-only spaces (and ‘quiet woodlands’).

        • Islander March 14, 2022 at 9:31 pm #

          Is this right?

          “transman” = biological woman with some male trappings.

          “transwoman” = biological man with some female trappings.

          Help! I need a mnemonic!

          I guess “trans” basically means “fake.”

          Now I should be able to keep this straight . . . .

            Yes, islander, I think the mistake (in this instance my slip of the tongue) of calling a transwoman a transman has its origins in wrong think. In the trans lexicon one is defined by one’s aspirations, not one’s origins.

            I worked on an American trans medicine and surgery book once years ago, as a freelancer – patients were referred to as FtM or MtF (female to male; male to female). I learned a whole lot about the detail of the bits you can transpose and adapt to make them function as their male or female equivalent. It was quite an eye opener at the time, and my first thought, on seeing the sheer number of operations a person could have to alter their appearance was where the heck does the money come from for all this? They don’t just have the main bits done – there are operations for altering hairlines, shaving down the Adam’s apple or the brow bone, altering the voice box. If they end up looking a million dollars (at least in their own eyes) that’s probably what it literally cost.

            Clinicians don’t always have the foresight to get the patient’s specific permission to use a photo for publication and not just for clinical reasons. I once had to reject a photo of a false willy because it had a tattoo all along it that might have been recognised by either its proud owner or by anyone else who might have had an acquaintance with it. Americans are famously litigious, so you can’t take any risks. 🙂

            Example: Ukraine’s top diplomat said the other day that he thinks there will be a peace agreement between them in Russia – probably in early May. (That’s pretty specific.)

            Also when the Pfizer CEO told us every three months last year the next wave was coming next month or whatever and boosters required. Next month, “new wave” reported and boosters pushed. He also told us in January that we’re going to get back more to normal – probably in February. Surprise, surprise, he must have a crystal ball or a voodoo lady who reads your fortune by squeezing the goat’s testicles.

            They tell the truth about what they know will happen (because they will do it) to create credibility in hindsight, and then they lie about absolutely evreything else to get as much for themselves as possible.

      Mary

      Did you see the CDC report that declared the flu shot this year a miss?

      What did we hear about big surges in flu this winter?

      One thing is claimed by the vaxx folk that I would like to see investigated and validated or thrown out.

      One last claim is being held onto by all the pro folks, that the vaxx blunts the effects of the crud, lowering the incidence of hospitalization and death.

      True or false? I have not even seen words from the anti vaxx zealots, Malone etc. contesting this claim.

      If the vaxx blunts the effect across the board, it risk offsets the adverse effects of the vaxx in the decision process.

      The study would be easy, compare two groups histories, one of vaxxed folks who get the crud, the other unvaxxed who get it. Compare the % of hospitalizations and deaths.

      BTW, I would also like to see the same done with the flu shot, especially seeing they are going to come out with an mRNA variety.

      Are we kidding ourselves here?

        I don’t think the Russians want a lot of destruction. A likely reason they are encircling rather than rushing into the cities with huge forces. Seems more like specially trained operators going in, doing surgical work to excise key areas.

        They want a demilitarized area and denazification. The recognized Republics in the East of the territory will be respected. There is no reason to occupy for any longer than necessary to accomplish these goals.

            French Huegonots were in Florida too in the 1540s, with a large colony near St. Augustine. Spaniards showed up and wiped them out.

          • JohnAZ March 14, 2022 at 8:29 pm #

            Okay, here goes.

            1565 officially settled by Spanish who named it St, Augustine ..Sante Fe NM number two in 1610.

            French Heugonots (sp?) founded a colony there which the Spanish removed upon their discovery.

            The Spanish consolidated population for a hundred years, battling periodically with English groups from Georgia and the Carolinas for control. English never won.

            1763. First Treaty between France and England, French and Indian War, Florida was given to England. After the second Treaty, the Revolution, the area was returned to Spain for helping the USA.

            War ensued with further settlement between the Seminole Indians and Spanish. During this time, Florida became an irritant to the Southern states as escaped slaves could go to St. Augustine, swear allegiance to the Spanish Crown, convert to Catholicism and be freed. It was known as the first Underground Railroad.

            After that settled, the young USA realized how strategic Florida was and bought it from Spain. A good guess is that the Southern states had a lot of influence with that purchase.

            Florida was a contentious issue as the duel between the North and South happened during the early 1800s. It was not admitted as a state until 1845 as a result.

          • JohnAZ March 14, 2022 at 8:33 pm #

          “Virginia was a penal colony.
          Indentured.
          Debtors.”

          Not according to David Hackett Fischer, “Albion’s Seed.”The great majority of Virginia’s upper elite came from families in the upper ranks of English society” (p. 216. Many were younger sons.

          As for the non-elites, “Virginia’s immigrants in the late seventeenth century were mostly indentured servants whose families had been poor tenant farmers and country laborers. . . . Most of Virginia’s servant-immigrants were half-grown boys and young men. Three out of four were between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four. Only 3 percent were under fifteen, and less than 1 percent was over 35. More than a few of these youngsters were “spirited,” or kidnapped, to Virginia. . . .” etc. (p231). Very interesting reading. Completely different profile from those who settled New England and from a different part of England.
          Indentured servants are not debtors.
          “Albion’s Seed” is a fascinating book, and a great read. Lots of interesting maps and other illustrations.

            “Boy, you’re dull.

            “You must think you’re peerage ”

            Boy, rude little shit flinger.

            In fact, you seem to have a significant misanthropic chip on your shoulder regarding New England vs. other North American colonies. My guess: You are a Florida patriot. Whatever.

            “Virginia was a penal colony.
            Indentured.
            Debtors.”

            Transport of convicts to Virginia in the later 18th C. does not make Virginia a penal colony, namely,
            “penal colony, distant or overseas settlement established for punishing criminals by forced labour and isolation from society.”

            Albion’s Seed concentrates on the founding of four colonies in North America. The Virginia colony was a second wave of English colonists, after the first wave, which went to New England. It was founded and established in the 17th C. It was not established as a penal colony and it did not become a penal colony via the transport of convicts there.

            Fischer is renowned for his exhaustive combing and knowledge of primary sources that shed light on the origins of the groups of people he studies in Albion’s Seed. His work is also exhaustively documented with long notes presenting different analyses of the available data. I see nothing in Fischer’s work to suggest that Virginia was a penal colony in the first century after its founding. Fischer provides figures for the origins of the population of Virginia and a very detailed discussion on this subject in the notes.

            The passage of the Transport Act in 1718 and numbers of convicts ending up in Virginia and Maryland in the course of the 18th C didn’t transform Virginia into a “penal colony.” The article you cite provides no documentation of its assertions as to numbers and lists no sources of figures and dates, other than the date of the act.

    Not much on the 81 beheadings in a single day in Saudi Arabia. About half were Shia Muslims, presumably Iranians. This atrocity happened on the same day Iran fired 8 rockets at the US embassy in Baghdad.

    Good news for anti-nazis, bad news for Empire lackeys…
    The Russian MOD says that today DPR forces, supported by the Russian military, destroyed almost all of the Ukrainian positions in the suburbs of Mariupol, with Special Forces “eliminating the main neo-Nazi forces in residential areas along the perimeter of the city”.

    “The successful operation to unblock the city made it possible to open humanitarian corridors for civilians to leave from 3 p.m. today and to begin the mass evacuation of the population, which had been held hostage by the neo-Nazis for a long time.”

    • Paula D March 14, 2022 at 8:09 pm #

      The Empire lackeys are screaming in agony as their proxies are eliminated.
      Expect a chemical weapons attack to be blamed on the Russians.
      I can think of two commenters on this blog stupid enough to believe it.
      They used it in Syria, more than once, and it worked, because Americans be stupid.

      All this property being seized in western countries belonging to private citizens, not members of the Russian government. Not only yachts, but other assets like estates, houses, apartments, bank accounts and so on. Not one of these countries nor NATO is at war with Russia, so how is it legal? And who will end up owning these seized assets?

      • JohnAZ March 14, 2022 at 8:44 pm #

        Do not forget the other side, that Russia is going to take all the properties that American Corporations are walking away from in Russia. I would which side has more at stake?

        IMHO, Putin understands everything that is going on now and will win the battle of the Ukraine revolution. The US press is so-o-o full of BS here and Putin is about to make them and their Deep State sponsors look like fools.

        What really bothers me is the collusion between the Deep State and globalist elements trying to weaken the Russians for takeover by the global groups after the US is subjugated. I do not know who to root for here, and I am really afraid that the US government is not it.

          The US elite is the biggest stakeholder in the new world order.

          The US military is the muscle end of enforcing. The financial system is financial enforcement. Silicon valley/hi tech and the MSM are the “soft power”. Big Pharma plays with drugs.

          They all benefit from this arrangement, and enable it.

          They have achieved take-off velocity, and are too powerful to stop.

          But there is still room and space, diminishing daily of course, for Americans to lead decent, somewhat free, lives.

          What I hope for is what the Russians (say they) want: a neutralized and neutral Ukraine, where the US and NATO sign a document to that effect, and in return, if we comply, we trust the Russians to leave West Ukraine alone, and accept that they own East Ukraine.

          While this will be a victory for the Russians, if NATO and Russia abide by the terms, the world will be a more peaceful place, less risk of world war.

          And as a bonus, perhaps more Americans might reconsider why NATO is so important and why the US must meddle in every corner of the globe.

          I don’t see this happening though. I see the Russians feeling compelled to stay in the Ukraine for the long haul, with a US sponsored armed insurgency in the Western Ukraine that will turn the Western Ukraine into another Syria, becauses the US will support a war, because this is perceived to be in the “best interests” of the US/Western establishment.

          I don’t think it is. The world will become bipolar. Instead of the “good” USA led West vs “bad” USSR, it will be the USA/NATO/Australia/Japan in an economic competition against Chinese-led “non-West”, where China, Russia, India, SE Asia, South America and Africa will cooperate.

          As our host has noted often, resource scarcity will result in global competition, perhaps violent. As long as neither side feels as it is done, it should not go nuclear.

          Each side faces serious internal problems and challenges, but they are different. In the West, we live beyond our means, are debt-ridden, and have just cut off our nose to spite our face to denying our economy of vital resources we needed from Russia and damaging trade more. We are old and sott…

          The rest of the world, it is a struggle to survive, even at the much lower standard of living. But people are tougher and can take it.

          We are in the home stretch of human history as we have known it. Should anyone care to study history a hundred years from now, they may cite the US-led economic sanctions against Russia as the event that sparked the beginning of the end. Time will tell.

        Just watching the US MSM… they’ve been caught with the labs, so the US news pre-emptively blames any incident on the Russians.

        On Fox, you see reporters say they are near the action… how many reporters have you seen in a Ukranian unit that’s engaged Russian forces?

        The Russians are “bogged down”. Are they? Why? Because they didn’t overrun everything in a week or two?

        What if they are basically controlling the choke points and waiting things out.

        Unlike Americans (even during the 1960s when people were patriotic) who were fighting 10,000 miles away for an idea, the Russian public sees Russian soldiers fighting next door for their country. Has any US media ever mentioned that, for Russia, Ukraine is an existential threat? It’s not a war “to make the world safe” for them.

        Basically, the US media today is like Pravda, circa 1970 or 1980. Whatever the say, it’s likely the opposite is true.

        How sad. It is disgraceful.

        • Socrates-Detroit March 14, 2022 at 10:55 pm #

          The “ghost of Kiev”? Is Santa Claus next?

          The information from the Russian government appears more correct.

          Since the Russians have lost the propaganda war in the West, and since the West has sanctioned Russian individuals because they are….Russian, perhaps the Russians have decided that at this moment, saying less, but being factually correct whenever they say something, will help their credibility with China, India, Brazil, Africa, and the rest of the world.

          Do you think the US government has credibility in these areas?

          Is there a contrast between US harsh sanctions for Russian invasion vs US statements and actions about Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam? There is, and the Asians, Africans,and South Americans see it. If they don’t, THEIR media and govt point it out for them.

          That’s not going to help us Americans out in the future.

          I was telling my husband last night about how the US/NATO were stockpiling mercenaries and weapons over the border from Poland and how Russia bombed them and the mercenaries left.
          As I said to Jarek, they expected to have Afghanistan redux, where they could shoot goat herders for fun, with backup air support. Once faced with Mother Russia protecting her children they up and left.
          My husband said, Oh, is that what happened. NPR only said that Russia bombed too near the border with Poland and that was dangerous, but they never mentioned that the US had piled up truckloads of weapons.

          • Paula D March 15, 2022 at 12:22 pm #

    Does that make NATO or America a crazy manipulative girl? What entity is analogous to the third boy she leaves with? Or does she leave with the “winner”? Is the girl too pretty to be held accountable? I think she hasn’t aged out yet judging by the continued influx at our border.

    Putin ordered a strike in far Western Ukraine on one of the main supply routes. Message sent? I will destroy your supply efforts if you increase supply efforts. For once, Biden listened about the jets he nixed, they would have been destroyed before even utilized.

    Number two, Ukraine is going to lose this. Anything giving support to the Ukraine zealots is going to cause the death and destruction of even more people and infrastructure. The only given right now is if anyone tries to arm Ukraine or otherwise support them, they are going to be clobbered.

    Tucker said Zelensky gave a good speech saying the he is considering entering into serious negotiations – meaning a neutral Ukraine. Dead silence throughout the land. This goes against the War Hawk narrative and the Global Reset narrative. The American power structure doesn’t want this.

    • SoftStarLight March 15, 2022 at 3:06 am #

      I agree. It’s very clear the power structure at the very least wants a protracted conflict and possibly some sort of regime change within Russia. I shudder to think what else they could be up to. Some wonder if the biolabs could have had a connection to covid and other things the elites wish to keep hidden. As I mentioned below some think the elites want to collapse the food supply and supply chains generally. In pretty much each calculus they see themselves consolidating their power. To be against escalating the war is thus literally an act of treason to them and they are verbalizing that more and more.

      • Islander March 15, 2022 at 10:27 am #

        “and other things the elites wish to keep hidden.”

        Sorta like the Nazi regime wanted to keep the concentration camps and their inmates hidden.

        Hence, forced marches of prisoners out of hte camps, and attempts at destruction of evidence as the RUSSIAN army advanced westward.

        The Russians were the first to see the atrocities.

        • SoftStarLight March 15, 2022 at 12:36 pm #

          I wonder if we will ever find out the truth of what was/is really going on over there. I imagine they might have been doing horrible experiments and literal Frankenstein type research. They chose Ukraine for a reason and I don’t think it had as much to do with Russia (though I believe they always wanted to goad them) as it did with them being able to operate rather freely in a country that was unstable enough to have such lawlessness occurring.

          • Islander March 15, 2022 at 1:01 pm #

            ” operate rather freely in a country that was unstable enough to have such lawlessness occurring.”

            This seems likely.

            A country run by oligarchs and gangs, where trafficking of girls was rife, possibly organs—who knows? When gangs murder people, why would they waste the organs if there is a market for them, maybe especially organs of Europeans.

          • Jarek March 15, 2022 at 1:03 pm #

            They had some in Georgia too – a much more stable country but on the Russian border. Did they want to ring Russia with these labs, along with missile bases?

            I wouldn’t be surprised to see a false bio-flag coming out of this. Or an accident, either real or engineered.

    There was once a Peace Movement. It was associated with the Democratic Party. Perhaps a mistake? Yet no one seems to be complaining now that it lost all interest.

    Who upholds those ideals now? The Left I suppose? But they are then checked by those even further left since Communism will never renounce war.

    There was a Peace Movement before both WW1 & 2. Totally memory holed. That doesn’t fit any narrative. The closest would be America First and Trump 1.0 – but they had much more clarity than we do now. Probably because they were more honest and less programmed.

      Here’s the Tucker piece, https://www.mintpressnews.com/tucker-carlson-biography-nicaragua-cia/279782/

      Great one Jhk. I can’t even think about covid without feeling sick, somehow outright war seems more honest.

      • SoftStarLight March 15, 2022 at 2:40 am #

        I read some of this this morning and then I stopped because I decided that I’m not questioning Tucker. They have people in Congress who are saying that he is basically right next to treason with different things he is saying. They are doing it to Tulsi and they did this to President Trump and so many others. But it’s ok for them to commit genocide essentially and yet they are also supposed to be moral arbiters. And that’s why I can’t and I won’t. I also personally believe this is their divide and conquer method. They eventually get you to the point where you are like omg they are all a part of it and you tell everyone around you to stay back. And then when you are isolated and separated that is when they come in and devour your soul. But anyhoo, I just wanted to note my hesitations about that but I do agree with you that we have to be really careful because there are definitely efforts underway to distract us and mislead us.

          Youtuber Russell Brand had a great video on this topic about a bio lab in the Ukraine, it showed Senator Rubio getting shocked when the undersecretary said there are bio labs in the Ukraine.

          Interesting questions, and he admits he only asks and wants a discussion on them.

          JHK interesting thoughts again. Hospital life we have seen more murder, violence, and drug abuses continue to rise and over fill our e.d. But, at least Emma Watson of the Harry Potter movies let the author of Harry Potter have it. Lets get going we only have like 950 million to one billion years before the sun is going to cook this planet.

          • GreenAlba March 15, 2022 at 11:00 am #

            Emma Watson and her fellow Harry Potter wokelets and wokelettes have the self-awareness of a dung beetle.

            JK herself said something along the lines of ‘if my entire career had been launched by an author who took me under her wing for years and was the cause of me earning millions, I would never think of turning on her just to be seen virtue signalling. But that’s just me.’ (paraphrasing, but I remember the tweet).

            LOL well you will be waiting quite a while before the Red Giant Sun swallows up the Earth. Maybe real estate around uh let’s say maybe Jupiter’s moons would be a great investment at that time. But who knows. We may do ourselves in before that ever happens? I haven’t watched Russell Brand very much but I see him more and more popping up here and there so I’ll have to pay more attention.

      So what you’re saying is that you’re a communist? What kind of idiot would support the Sandanistas?

      Tucker shows amazing courage in standing up to the insanity of the left. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough people like him.

      • anmariwakaranai March 15, 2022 at 7:56 pm #

        Tuck gets 10 cool mill a year to spout. I like him. But I think we have to keep our eyes wide open. For example, did you see his show in the beginning of the rus invasion? So he was redirecting our rage away from the nazis at that point. Haven’t watched since so I don’t know what he’s saying now.

      • anmariwakaranai March 15, 2022 at 7:58 pm #

        Not with sandinistas but why was tucker standing beside us backed contra lady when she won the election??? 18 years old, on stage after a regime change…..?

    • Paula D March 15, 2022 at 12:32 pm #

      What kind of soulless monster would support the Contras? Maybe Tucker changed his mind because of the atrocities.
      ” We’ve armed them, put uniforms on their backs, boots on their feet, given them camps in Honduras to live in, medical supplies, doctors, training, leadership, direction, as we’ve sent them in to de-stabilize Nicaragua. Under our direction they have systematically been blowing up graineries, saw mills, bridges, government offices, schools, health centers. They ambush trucks so the produce can’t get to market. They raid farms and villages. The farmer has to carry a gun while he tries to plow, if he can plow at all.

      If you want one example of hard proof of the CIA’s involvement in this, and their approach to it, dig up `The Sabotage Manual’, that they were circulating throughout Nicaragua, a comic-book type of a paper, with visual explanations of what you can do to bring a society to a halt, how you can gum up typewriters, what you can pour in a gas tank to burn up engines, what you can stuff in a sewage to stop up the sewage so it won’t work, things you can do to make a society simply cease to function.

      Systematically, the contras have been assassinating religious workers, teachers, health workers, elected officials, government administrators. You remember the assassination manual? that surfaced in 1984. It caused such a stir that President Reagan had to address it himself in the presidential debates with Walter Mondale. They use terror. This is a technique that they’re using to traumatize the society so that it can’t function.

      I don’t mean to abuse you with verbal violence, but you have to understand what your government and its agents are doing. They go into villages, they haul out families. With the children forced to watch they castrate the father, they peel the skin off his face, they put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin. With the children forced to watch they gang-rape the mother, and slash her breasts off. And sometimes for variety, they make the parents watch while they do these things to the children.

      This is nobody’s propaganda. There have been over 100,000 American witnesses for peace who have gone down there and they have filmed and photographed and witnessed these atrocities immediately after they’ve happened, and documented 13,000 people killed this way, mostly women and children. These are the activities done by these contras. The contras are the people president Reagan calls `freedom fighters’. He says they’re the moral equivalent of our founding fathers. And the whole world gasps at this confession of his family traditions.”

            The Aztecs had special butcher priests who would sometimes skin a body after the heart had been cut out – and then don the skin. Good times!

            What you have to understand Paula, is that the Old Religion is always trying to come back. Mexican drug gangs sometimes skin a face and then put it on a basketball.

            Do I like things like this? No, I don’t like things like this. That’s why I don’t want these people in the United States. But what does our insane regime do? Open the border to them.

            Of course there are many nice people among the Mexicans and Central Americans. But there is this element as well. And it is already established here.

      Tucker comes from money and it shows. Naturally he was a dick as a young man. He’s come a long way and preaches America First every night. When he was young, he preached Libertarian Republicanism I believe. He can’t help where he came from or who is father was.

      He’s for us staying home and fighting the good fight HERE. Using our tax dollars HERE. Our army HERE if need be.

      And he knows far more than he can’t say. His best writer was a White Nationalist so he knows Blacks will always be problematic because of the difference in IQ’s.

    A certain E. Berne was actually a psychiatrist and not a psychologist as Mr. K surmises. His identification of the game of ‘lets you and him fight’ is false as youse Yankees and Johnny Rebs figured that one out long ago much to the amusement of England I’m sure.

    Berne was a patsy working for the alphabet agencies on mind control experiments at a Montreal funny farm. You know the kind; frontal lobotomy, electric shocks and electric kool-aid acid tests. Would you trust this man who as Mr. K so pointedly claimed he was the ‘father parsing conversations’? This work by a mind control purveyor has yielded the numbing rhetoric of politicians everywhere and their errand boys of the media with their nauseating prognostications which somehow passes as journalism.

    Berne as a sequel to his diabolical deeds in Montreal was relocated to Mt Carmel as a usual perk for his superlative service. Unfortunately, he died or shall I say; greased, terminated, quite young at sixty. Who dies at that age by a heart attack in Mt Carmel? Berne had done his duty suppling the alphabets with enough chattel to carry on with manufacturing the brave new world. Berne was cancelled so he would not live to tell who was behind the curtain.

    • Islander March 15, 2022 at 10:36 am #

      Regardless of whom Berne was working for, his book Games People Play was a useful work that described a lot of the psycho games that people *do* play.

      Perhaps this was a result of his other work. Who knows.

      Have you actually read Games People Play?

      Have you lived a life embedded in some sort of community or family? Did NO ONE play any of these games described by Berne? Lucky you!

      For many, Berne’s book provided a shorthand way to start to recognize and analyze some of the BS that manipulative people throw at one, or use to manipulate individuals and groups.

      One definition of Satan (can’t recall where I heard this, although it was fairly recent):

    I would prefer not to drive over the cliff. But I’m not sure what to expect from the clown bus other than chaos and an almost total break with reality. I kinda feel like I’m a hostage on the bus. But I suppose it could be worse. It seems like negotiations may be further underway than what we are hearing. Someone from Fox who had been “on the ground” in Ukraine said the place was leveled and they already lost. What is super scary is the disruption of spring planting in the world’s breadbasket. That and the disruption of fertlizer production which is big there too. In the end that may be a way bigger story than the war or the high gas prices. Some people say that they aren’t happy with the performance of the “vaccines” and so they are escalating to totally collapse the food supply. I would prefer that to be just a conspiracy theory though.

    From the link above on Tucker:

    “One thing you learn when you grow up in a castle and look out across the moat every day at the hungry peasants in the village is you don’t want to stoke envy among the proletariat.” Anti-union Tucker

    One has to be wary of all extremely wealthy elites. Tucker and his people know what buttons to push to pop the ratings. Fortunately for them, the Left keeps providing enough mind-blowing, insane behavior that viewers have an almost compulsive need to see and hear something sane.

    Like so many of his ilk, he’s often a poseur, a crafty chameleon who takes his fair share of delight posing with an Ak-47, knowing full well that words are the only weapons he’ll ever wield, words that are often on target yet unable to stop an ever-advancing enemy.

    Interesting article.

      If being a child of privilege sensitized Tucker Carlson to the concerns and challenges of middle America, I think that’s great!!!

      • TaxDonkey March 15, 2022 at 11:50 am #

        Sometimes Tucker says stuff that you wouldn’t think Faux News would allow him to say. Other times, like during the election, he kept his mouth shut. Would be interesting to see the rule book about what he can or cannot discuss.

      It’s his version of noblesse oblige, I guess.
      Back in the day when they lived closer to the plebes, the elite had sense enough to throw them some bones.
      Now they have their own walled communities with helicopters to take them to their yachts on their way to their private islands.

      That weird high pitched laugh. The rich really are different. I’d get along better with Hannity. He seems like he’d be a fun guy to have a beer with. But of course he’s from my group and we both have that same vibe from our past.

      Both men have grown. Hannity’s transcended his lower middle class roots and become part of the Establishment. He uses his ethnic and lower class roots to keep people as moronic as possible.

      Tucker has grown too – beyond the mindset of the current Establishment. So I’d get along better with him at an intellectual level back to an older type of liberalism/conservatism – back to when they made sense.

      I don’t sense any sense of contradiction in Hannity. He is too extraverted for things like that. He doesn’t know he’s a tool so that makes him a very valuable tool.

      and then their host country canes their ass.. or throws them into a prison.

      You know, in many parts of the world, the police just shoot you. If you were in Brazil or other countries and you resisted police, you would be shot.

        Che, handsome Che (no doubt our Communist ladies adored him), got caught fomenting Revolution in Peru. He thought they were going to let him go on TV for an interview so he was combing his hair. They had a brief two minute trial and then took him out and shot him.

        If you nip such things in the bud, there’s no need for Contras and such unpleasantness. Didn’t some of those types go on to become MS-13 in El Salvador?

        Mexico and Central America are very brutal parts of the world. Both sides. All sides! When my sister was about to go on spring break, my State Trooper cousin said, “Stay with the group. Life is very cheap down there”. Very good advice.

        I assume Russia gets it, as does Poland and Hungary. Do conservative Ukrainians have any idea of what Putin will save them from? If they do, I assume they have to keep mum. They might be shot if they spoke out at this point.

        • SoftStarLight March 15, 2022 at 3:18 pm #

          That’s a good question. From various things I’ve read it seems like the Ukrainians are very much factious with different groups going different ways. I think there are many Ukrainians who want to be westernized and more like western Europeans. Which I assume would mean they would be very open to immigration from non European countries. And I see that Ukraine had lots of immigrants and foreign nationals living there. Actually a surprising number. But clearly there is also a sizable portion of the Ukrainians who even if they think Ukraine should be independent are more oriented toward the Russian orbit. So I think it is a recipe for potentially more conflict. But I think Russia is not bogged down the way our media is saying they are. I think they may have had mistakes and glitches in areas but I think this has been planned for a long time and they aren’t going anywhere. Poland and Hungary are very foolish to be anti-Russian imo given the fact that the EU despises them culturally and demographically and will work to change them incessantly.

          • Jarek March 15, 2022 at 4:06 pm #

            You’re right but I’m afraid Poland can’t forgive this:

            A mass slaughter of Poland’s best and brightest. No doubt Paula pretends it never happened.

            And Hungary rebelled and was put down with extreme brutality by the Soviet backed Bella Kuhn regime.

            Putin has never disavowed the Soviet regime so they can’t trust him, at least in their minds. If he had, he might have destabilized the fragile unity that he had attained. Even now it might be a very bad idea for him to do so.

I am not so sure that that would be too much to ask to get such a special deal, as long as you don’t have to chop anything off.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    What I have been dreading is about to occur. The worst possible event that will literally destroy our economy, and quickly.

    https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/saudi-arabia-china-u-s-oil/2022/03/15/id/1061276/

    I honestly consider the lynchpin of our financial existence is based on t he deal that Richard Nixon made with the House of Saud in 1971…in return for our guarantee of Saud hegemony, they would only accept US dollars for their oil. This alone is the reason that the world must accept whored-up US dollars, as they need them for their energy requirements. IF Saudis begin to accept other currencies, the dollar will be shunned like a Lyme tick infested dog.

    The dollar will then float in the FOREX, against other, perhaps stronger currencies, and commodity prices will reflect all the financial outrages the dollar represents.

    This is not tongue in cheek, and I am not joking. If/when this occurs, our lives will change, dramatically.

        Yes, it is happening quickly. Paula is correct in that we had a good run, and for a long time. By forcing the rest of the world to need our currency, we, you me and every American, benefitted mightily..

        Richard Milhouse Nixon was, in my estimation, the greatest president, in terms of statesmanship, that held office in my lifetime.
        By a deft, seemingly innocuous deal he made set the stage for our enhanced quality of life, and the benefits continued to this day. We were able to screw the world out of their wealth for worthless paper, and he made them need to do it.

        Remember being in the back seat of your 57 Chevy with little Susie Creamcheese? You can thank Nixon. Did she give you a social disease? No reason to blame Nixon for that…you coulda dated her sister….

      A senior U.S. official told WSJ that the idea of the Saudis selling oil to China in yuan was “highly volatile and aggressive” and “not very likely.”

      Translation: The idea is already in the advanced stages of approval and scares US officials so much that they are forced to deny it altogether, lest people start dumping soon to be worthless US debt and crashing the dollar. We will own nothing, although it remains to be seen if it will make us “happy” or not. Probably not, but no more miserable (well, not much more anyway) than we already are.

    In the second place this douche was most likely cheering on BLM mobs a few years ago when they were tearing down Confederate monuments, & Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln and Columbus monuments. Irony is sweet, isn’t it?

    The world’s third largest oil consumer, India, is considering buying Russian crude and other commodities at discounted prices using domestic currency. This comes as the US is encouraging countries to avoid trading with Russia amid the conflict in Ukraine.

    “Russia is offering oil and other commodities at a heavy discount. We will be happy to take that. We have some issues like tanker insurance cover and oil blends to be resolved. Once we have that we will take the discount offer,” an Indian government official told Reuters.

    Transactions will be carried out in India’s and Russia’s national currencies to evade the US dollar and related sanction policies. According to officials, work to set up a rupee-ruble trade mechanism is already underway.

    Jarek: Cosmic stupidity on the part of the Biden Administration? Of course, but just that? Or demonic prater-human intelligences hiding behind that stupidity? Nothing could have brought America down quicker than this.

    Maybe Davos did slate China to be the one to unify the Globe after all, with Russia as a strong right hand to be gradually corrupted and brought more fully into the fold by and by.

            It appears Herschel made the very common mistake of assuming humans descended from apes; when evolutionary theory actually says humans AND apes descended from a COMMON ancestor.

            This common ancestor has not been found; so his skepticism of Darwinian evolutionary theory is valid.

          • JohnAZ March 15, 2022 at 10:15 pm #

            The key is the concept of common ancestor.

            The common ancestor (Homo Sapiens) of all modern humanity developed in one locale. Other Homos developed elsewhere, such as Peking man, Neanderthal, and others that have been developed. From a common ancestor that led to the creation of the main branches of the human line, these four or five evolved. Evolution happens because species adapt, they genetically change in accordance to the environment they are part of.

            Recent work, the Kellys for one, show genetic change can happen inside one generation. So if a humanoid sets up shop in equatorial areas, they are going to adapt. Melanin skin for one. Curly hair to protect the scalp for another. If a dark species moves north, the melanin goes away and the adaptation of hair is no longer needed. Add on that mutations occur arbitrarily regardless of the environment. Where did that red hair come from? Add on interbreeding, Cro magnon and Neanderthal for example. We are finding out now that most European stock has some Neanderthal genes.

            IMHO, I think that the continuous mixing and expansion of humanoids are the biggest determinant of what we are and look like. Ethnocentrism was installed in us to keep us expanding away from a center, to avoid resource over usage. however, eventually, we meet someone coming from the other side, interbreed and another branch is created.

            Right now, there are almost no Negroes, or Caucasians, or Asians in America, or even anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. We are a hodge podge of all the immigrants that have come here from elsewhere. This has really accelerated during the last one hundred years. The ascending generation now is a human blend in America. How this is going to end up is yet to be determined.

            In America, calling someone Black or White is a joke. Various shades of brown is more like it.

            One thing I have noticed is that people who continue to isolate themselves to their own ethnicity are becoming less prevalent and influential. Their economic adaptability also suffers. It has been said that genetically, Mutts are stronger and more adaptable. Does that apply to humanoids too?

      Who exactly is the aggressor here?

      Who created the most corrupt regime in Europe, fixing to annex it into NATO, involving corrupt elements of the US government who are still there, thumbed their nose at Russia where they drew a red line that Ukraine, due to its geography, would not be allowed to join NATO.

      Kunstler is not in favor of any invasion, he is pointing out that our rotten US government is the cause of all this.

      I doubt if Russia “will conquer Ukraine.” Most likely they’ll carve off the easternmost, Russian speaking provinces and install a Russia friendly govt in the Ukrainian rump — much like the US did with the Texas Republic in the 1830s and 1840s.

      • Blackbird March 16, 2022 at 2:49 pm #

        That’s what I expect too. Donetsk and Luhansk will receive their de facto independence and petition to be annexed to Russia. Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblasts will also declare independence and request annexation. This will secure land access to the Crimea.

        The rest of the Ukraine will have a Russian-backed government as well as a US-backed government. Conflict will rage between them until we are all too impoverished and immiserated to care.

        • Disaffected March 16, 2022 at 7:01 pm #

          Disagree. Partitioning might have been part of the plan initially, but this is rapidly turning into total war. Russia cannot trust a US-backed anything close to its borders and the US will not stop its subterfuge as long as it’s allowed. This is going to be a major showdown before we’re through, largely because the US won’t have it any other way. And true to Putin’s word, the boys in DC, London, and Brussels are going to regret this whole affair more than they’ve regretted anything for a long, long time.

      This is a proxy fight between the NWO and Russia. The US is just a weapons bearing element of the NWO.

        I wouldn’t say that. All of these forces balance each other out, which is what we are seeing.

        To assume that Putin is good however is stretching it. Russia went along with the Covid theater, too, and it is an autocracy.

        The best we can hope for in the West is that all of the pushing and pulling of all collective forces on this planet keep things from shifting too far to any particular tyrannical direction.

        The most important element is that the average joe is awake to what these forces generally seek, and how that is going to affect him. No government is going to save us; they must rather fear us.

        Same as it ever was.

    Documentary from 2016 about the Ukie attack on Donbass.
    No one in the US cared. Personally, I think it’s because the media didn’t tell them to care, but the media tells us today that people care now because they are ”racist”.
    I guess Americans weren’t racist from 2014 to 2022.
    I think my theory, that Americans are almost completely braindead, with the small amount of brain cells they have still functioning very susceptible to brainwashing, is more plausible.

        Paula,

        While I tend to be biased against instantly believing the veracity of videos like this that are released, this one certainly appears to quite be real, legit carnage that is just horrible. If this were crisis actors they have upped their game from some of the (mostly) faked videos we’ve seen in the past.

        My only question is how does the reporter seem to know who perpetrated the shelling just by looking around at ground zero? He immediately says it was done by Ukraine forces. And it very well may have been, as they’ve been doing that in Donetsk for a long time before Russia invaded. But it could just as easily have been Russia, CIA, and a host of others who are trying to influence and confuse the public opinion by committing random atrocities. Confusion leads to poor public choices, aka continued war.

        One older woman that passes him early in the video hears him speaking English and says, “Film it! Film it, you bastards.” A reasonable reaction either way I suppose (can only imagine as I didn’t experience it), I’m just wondering what happened here and why.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 16, 2022 at 9:54 am #

          *be quite real

        • Paula D March 16, 2022 at 2:25 pm #

          True, there was no label on the bomb they way there sometimes are in some of these videos. Maybe when they find a fragment it will say Raytheon on it. I guess he assumed it was the Ukies because why would the DPR militia bomb their own people?
          That one woman did say that she didn’t know whose bombs they were by looking at the damage.
          I don’t think it was Russia. Why would they bomb Russians?
          Plus, Russia has announced that they are going to blow up the factory that makes these cluster bombs and warned people around the factory to stay away while they do that.

          • Paula D March 16, 2022 at 2:26 pm #

            Oh, I guess it’s not Raytheon if Russia knows where they are produced in Ukraine.

        • MaryQueen March 16, 2022 at 2:56 pm #

          I just watched a video by a guy from UK who earlier in the month (when bombs and attacks were being reported) went to Kiev and video’d around town. There was nothing going on. He did see a lot of staged stuff by media, though. Esp. regarding ‘immigrants’ at stations and whatnot. They were closing off areas in train and bus stations, so that people had to crowd together and making long lines. All for show. And they got after him for trying to video.

          • Paula D March 17, 2022 at 3:15 pm #

            My friend in Russia said they did that to stage a “mass demonstration” show in St. Petersberg some years ago.
            They went to a shopping area that had a train stop and they blocked the exits to the area, so that everyone shopping and everyone getting off the train couldn’t leave.
            Then they set up speakers in front of the large crowd, filmed them railing about whatever it was back then, and then they let the people leave.

    While they have us freaking out about “Ukraine,” our overlords are moving swiftly to rendition all of us into the global cyber-gulag of a social credit system, enabled by a digital currency doled out (or not) by the central banking system.

    This report, from December, 2021, “assess[es] market opportunities for infrastructure support of the social credit market”—i.e., how to make a lot of money helping to set up that cyber-prison. Unless you’re reading it for “market opportunities,” you’re likely to be chilled by its dystopian implications.”

    “SocialCredit Market by Physical and Cyber Infrastructure (Sensors, Cameras,Biometrics, Computer Vision), Software (Machine Learning, Data Analytics,APIs), Use Cases, Applications, Industry Verticals, and Regions 2021 – 2026”

    Correction: upstream I commented on the assault on the Asian women in Manhattan by a distinguished Club Member. I reported he punched her 47X. Actually she was hit with a barrage of 125 punches in a sustained attack. He was a big dude, she was a small woman. Also, she was 67, not 71. The NYPost has the video. It’s hard to believe she’s still alive, but she is.

    The reality of the situation we are in is becoming more and more apparent.

      Yeah, that video was head-shakingly brutal.

      Not sure how many more of these ty[es of videos I can watch before just saying, “I don’t wanna know.”

      One sucker punch for the knockout game can end almost anyone if they hit the concrete. 125 punches (I thought I saw a few kicks in their too) is definitely trying to indiscriminately kill a stranger. Oh, and he spit on her after he was done.

      That man has no soul.

      Knowing there are (many) more like him out there roaming free, looking to ruin or end random peoples’ lives for an unprovoked, violent thrill does not help my general pessimism.

        For me the solution is to be armed and to be aware. The elderly and Asian women are targeted because they are less likely to be able to fight back effectively. Stand straight if possible and have a “don’t mess with me” look when walking. It may not work out ok, but at least one might feel a little less afraid.

        I would have paid good money to be where, the other day the guy pulled out a gun and announced, “this is a robbery”. Unfortunately for him two of the customers happened to be MMA artists. They responded immediately and took him down. The part I would have paid money to see was the look on the robber’s face as he was going down.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 16, 2022 at 1:58 pm #

          Wish they had been outside the door at this lady’s apartment that day. A robbery I can at least understand (hey – he needed the money!), but the random shit this guy pulled is grounds for an immediate MMA curbstomp, on camera.

          I agree with you about being aware and carrying your self as if you may be armed (especially if you aren’t), but it would not have helped her one bit here to have been armed. Down on the first punch then just taking it.

          Now…if someone outside that door was armed and saw what was happening, that would’ve been helpful.

          Carjacking of a 40-something woman in a wealthy Minneapolis suburb a few months ago (right in the town square grocery store parking ramp in broad daylight) was stopped by a stranger walking by who was carrying. Didn’t even have to pull the trigger, the jacker shitbag just ran for his life. Oh, he got caught shortly after, too.

      Anything to make the people feel like they’re getting a break, while actively destroying more supply lines and making things worse for everone down the road.

      They really are going after the truckers hard, aren’t they. Convoys are neat and all, but they really should just ALL up and strike. Give it a week, there will be no organic burritos, avocado toast or chai latte on demand (let alone anything else that matters to them, like…milk, juice, meat, pasta, potatoes, lettuce, ice cream, Spaghettios, soap, beer, pizza, toilet paper), and the people will realize how stupid they are…and they will demand truckers be supported. Much like they are demanding justice for Ukraine right now without having the slightest idea why they feel that way.

    ‘No more switching clocks’: Senate passes act to make daylight saving time permanent
    Sunshine

    Protection Act needs approval from the House, and the signature of Joe Biden, to become law

    (AP) The Senate unanimously approved a measure Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States next year.

    The bipartisan bill, named the Sunshine Protection Act, would ensure Americans would no longer have to change their clocks twice a year. But the bill still needs approval from the House, and the signature of Joe Biden, to become law.

    (FNN) In recent years sunshine has come under fire for its stubborn refusal to rise and set according to ideal American business schedules.
    This led to US Congress labeling it a “belligerent star” in 2020 after years of negotiations led nowhere.
    This after the sun had previously shrugged off US sanctions against its early rising and setting. “This is a clear and unmistakable signal to belligerent stars everywhere.” US President Joe Brandon said. “We will not be bullied by renegade stars, planets, galaxies, or anything else in determining our precious sunshine hours, and we are determined to use every military, economic, and legislative weapon at our disposal to ensure it.” The sun remained shining brightly and unavailable for comment, with observers noting no unusual solar activity in response.

      • Q. Shtik March 16, 2022 at 1:50 pm #

        if they got rid of the daylight savings time – MQ

        ============

        My desire goes even a step further (or is it farther?). I would like to see the entire world put on one 24-hour clock across the globe.* On some given day at the stroke of midnight when Saturday becomes Sunday in Greenwich, England (for olde timey sakes) the whole world would set their new style clocks, numbered 0 to 24, to say it is 0 (zero) O’clock. No more need for a.m. and p.m.**

        Possibly, even, adjust (i.e. increase, ever so slightly) the length of an hour to eliminate the need for leap years. Also, make all months the same number of days which, if my estimate is correct, would be equal to about 30.44 present days. Math wizards would have no problem accomplishing this.

        It would be a boon to watch and clock makers, not to mention the people who make Store Hours signs.

        * The words “across the globe” were probably superfluous since I had already said “the entire world.”

        ** Have you ever considered how unintuitive it is for children learning to tell time, that a new day begins at 12 and an hour later it is 1?

        • Blackbird March 16, 2022 at 4:00 pm #

          Further or farther? In this instance I’d take “further”.

    A Moon of Alabama comment from yesterday (regarding general Covid and Ukraine events):

    “Mr. Gonzalo Lira voiced something that I’ve come to accept as being closer to the truth, i.e. that the puppet masters are incompetent themselves. Far too often in conspiracy-theory circles it is accepted as a given that behind everything there is a small cabal of evil geniuses that are 5 steps ahead of everyone and wield absolute power and control. I myself subscribed once to a version of this, but as time goes on I’ve come to doubt it more and more, especially given how things have played out against the interests of the supposed puppet masters. Perhaps the people who run things are really out in the open for us all to see, and there is no wizard of Oz behind the curtain. It would explain why their empire is collapsing.”

      Mary, I think the flaws we see are just collateral damage and all part of “the plan”, so I disagree with Moon of Alabama’s apologist/random dumb luck theory wholeheartedly.

      No one can actually control what 7+ billion people will do if given a situation to be alrmed about…but anyone pulling the strings also doesn’t actually give a shit what the ants do. They just step on the anthill, chuckle and then grab their shovel and dig the hole they had planned to dig anyway.

      The Wizard exists, and certainly behind the curtain.

      There are stupid people in positions of power, that much is all too obvious. But they’re not actually in power. For example, as if Putin just did this in Ukraine without consulting his masters…they said, “Sure, go fer it! Good luck. If you survive we’ll do some business in Ukraine.”

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 16, 2022 at 2:32 pm #

      “…evil geniuses that are 5 steps ahead of everyone and wield absolute power and control.”

      Zbigniew Brzezinski was writing about the surprisingly-accurate current reorganization of global primacy in the mid-1950’s. Bradbury wrote “Fahrenheit 451” in 1951. Orwell wrote “1984” in 1949. Huxley wrote “Brave New World” in 1932.

      And we’re supposed to believe that there aren’t any people that have been thinking about/planning the organized shit we see today…for a long, long time? Definition of 5 steps ahead, if you ask me.

    Hmmm, I think a lot of our problems here at home would be solved if we could load up all the rabid Ukraine’s the thing supporters and ship em off to the front. It shouldn’t be optional. Anyone who has publicly supported Ukraine should be conscripted. It’s for democracy and our values so whoever would argue with such a thing would clearly be a racist transphobic Putin shill. And the draft should include everyone in society from top to bottom so everybody in Congress who has been demanding we get into a nuclear conflict for Ukraine’s sovereignty and fantasizing about Zelensky has to go battle the wicked Putians. It will be good for morale you see. And it will be absolutely wonderful for our democracy 😉

    In what reads as a very broken English statement, Zelensky stated to Biden “I wish you to be the leader of the world.”

    Wow, if this is not reason to oppose Zelensy I don’t know what is. Can you imagine if Biden was “leader of the world”??? That would really screw things up more than they presently are.

    You got two real winners there, maybe it should be Biden-Zelensky 2024. Both are clearly out of their minds.

    And the fact that Zelensky pleads to the Russian forces: “please surrender.” What a weakling – hello, that is not how battles are waged, and I don’t think anyone would ever surrender to someone crying out for such an act. That is precisely the time to crush the opponent!

    Anglin on the attack against the Asian woman:

    Yikes.

    Blacks really like senselessly attacking helpless people.

    In terms of evolutionary biology, this probably goes back to the fact that they were typically cannibals. Of course, they don’t need to eat these helpless people they attack now, because they have EBT cards. So they just beat them up and leave them.

    Anyone who’s ever had a cat is familiar with this behavior. Domestic cats will always hunt and kill rodents, but they typically won’t eat them, because they are already eating from the bowl of delicious pellets you feed them. But the urge to kill is in-born.

    An in-born urge to attack the weak is the only possible explanation for the utterly nonsensical violence we see from the blacks, and when you consider that they spent tens or hundreds of thousands of years as cannibals, it makes perfect sense.

    The Sun:

    Horrifying footage shows the woman returning home and fiddling with her door keys when Esco terrifyingly approaches her from behind.

    He had allegedly shouted a racial slur at the 67-year-old as she walked past him before he followed her inside the building’s lobby on Friday.

    The thug struck her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, before pummelling her more than 125 times.

    Looks like an oppressed good boy to me. Just your typical raceless “man.”

    Esco even brutally stomped on the woman as she lay on the floor writhing in pain, just inches from the safety of her home.

    He is then seen sickeningly standing over her after reigning down a barrage of devastating blows.

    The 67-year-old was rushed to hospital with bleeding on the brain, facial bone fractures and cuts to her head and face, Yonkers police said.

    She is now in a stable condition after the savage attack, which lasted over 90 seconds.

    The chilling incident in the city in Westchester County, just outside of New York City, has again reared the issue of the rising number of hate crimes plaguing the US.

    There has been a worrying 45 per cent rise in crime in the five boroughs over the last year, with assaults up by 17.2 per cent.

    Totally unexpected

    Esco was arrested at the scene and hauled off to Westchester County Jail.

    The 42-year-old was then charged with second-degree attempted murder as a hate crime and one count of second-degree assault as a hate crime.

    Esco has previously been behind bars for assault and criminal sale of a controlled substance between May 2011 and October 2013.

    His post-release supervision expired in 2018, according to state records.

    Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano slammed the attack, saying “hate crimes are beyond intolerable in our city.”

    Remember when they were acting like Trump supporters were attacking Asians as revenge for the coronavirus?

    That was really the mainstream media doing Jussie Smollett on a massive scale. Out of the hundreds of videos I’ve seen of Asians being randomly attacked on the street, 100% of the attackers were black.

    Also, to the point of cannibalism – blacks often ate pygmies, who are a non-negroid African population. They have black skin, but they have a totally different skull shape (much flatter faces), and they’re physically much smaller than negroid peoples.

    It could well be that Asians stir up some genetic memory of pygmies.

    Just throwing that out there.

    Jarek: During the height of the Scam, when despicable white collar and Hollywood Asians were protesting against Whites, the media did manage to find one or two cases of Whites doing this kind of thing. After all, being blamed breeds resentment and of course no one denies the existence of some brutal Whites. It’s a matter of percentages.

          How common was the cannibalism behavior?

          • Jarek March 17, 2022 at 12:45 am #

            Oceania, Australia, and New Guinea: common. The Abos hunted people of other tribes as game.

            North America: Sporadic. Some tribes would do it on occasion, either ritually or when in need. Maybe more common for the Anasazi during certain periods. Maybe the Mound Builders as well.

            Central America: Massive among the Aztecs. The Maya had human sacrifice, but I don’t know if they ate them afterwards like the Aztecs did. The tribes being eaten hated the Aztecs and fought for the Spanish. But if the Spanish didn’t watch them, they kill Aztec prisoners and start frying them up. Given the widespread nature of this and the similarity of religion, (like different sects of the same religion), I’d imagine the Maya City States engaged in it as well.

            Also the dire imbalance of their lifestyle. Too many people to maintain the hunter gathering. But no domestication of animals. No cattle or sheep. Did the beans and corn give them enough protein? Obviously they wanted more….

            South America: Don’t know. The Incas did human sacrifice on a very small scale compared to the Aztecs and Maya, but never heard of them practicing cannibalism. But there were so many other tribes and civilizations. If I were to bet, I’d bet there was some at least.

          • TaxDonkey March 17, 2022 at 2:09 am #

            Interesting. The Kuru epidemic in Papa New Guinea was caused by cannibalism.

            According to Wikipedia “Corpses of family members were often buried for days, then exhumed once the corpses were colonized by insect larvae, at which point the corpse would be dismembered and served with the larvae as a side dish”

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 17, 2022 at 4:54 am #

      When Squeaky was alive he would bring dead squirrels and rats to my doorstep and while I was horrified I would always have to thank him because he thought he was doing a good thing. He sometimes would decapitate the poor prey. To him is was just another day.

        Is it true chickens can run around without their heads? I’ve heard people stay conscious (in their heads) after being decapitated for about 30 seconds.

          Lol no, it was because his meow was like a little squeak which was so funny because he was a giant burly cat.

          Yes, it is very true that a chicken can run around, well actually flops around to be honest with you, with its head cut off.

          • Jarek March 16, 2022 at 11:06 pm #

            The meow is mostly a kitten thing. But since we are their mothers, sometimes adult cats get into doing it. But a fair number, especially the males, lose the ability to. I used to feed a feral Tom and at one point he got into trying to vocalize with me. But all he could manage was this horrible rasping noise. Nothing wrong with his vocal cords, he could sing the war songs as good as any of them.

            One day he gave a perfect meow. Just once.

        • Blackbird March 16, 2022 at 4:56 pm #

          “Is it true chickens can run around without their heads?”

          Jaros, you poor damned underprivileged city kid. Might wanna do a stint on Rulo’s farm this summer to discover the dirty truth about food.

          Yes, chickens will run – like the Roadrunner! – after having their heads chopped off. Granny’s chickens (150 of ’em) got some kinda disease and my uncle had to kill ’em all. A stump, an axe, a hole in the ground, and a whole lotta blood. And the crazy sight of white birds runnin’ around the back yard spurtin’ jets of blood out of their headless necks. I was only 5, but even at that age I recognized the stoical look of agonized grief on my uncle’s face as he silently mechanically dismantled the entire flock.

            The haram physical anthropology book I learned from stated no relation to the tiny Erectus remnant that hid from Neanderthals in the Congo, aka “Congo Negroid”.

            (NC’s expanded at the end of the Ice Age, nearly wiping out the neanderthal-descended Khoi-San. Extra quadriceps muscle, extra testosterone, temperate tuber diet: faster, more physically and sexually aggressive, the Erectus never had to get smart.)

            Abos are a different blood (B+) and genetic type, descended from the asiatic Denisovians that dominated Siberia, Melanesia, Polynesia- the South Pacific.

            The White ancestral remnant survives as the Lapp at the Arctic Circle. They were dominant thru all of western Eurasia. Although, blondism spread later with lactose tolerance, and red hair was a Cromagnon / Neanderthalic trait.

            I do agree there may’ve been a large negroid expansion across the equatorial south; said theory says they met the recently released glacier dwellers of north Asia and the result was Philipinos, Sri Lankans, and Cambodian Khmer Verde (black Cambodians.)

    Wiki: Pygmy Peoples

    Reported slavery
    In the Republic of the Congo, where Pygmies make up 2% of the population, many Pygmies live as slaves to Bantu masters. The nation is deeply stratified between these two major ethnic groups. The pygmy slaves belong to their Bantu masters from birth in a relationship that the Bantus call a time-honored tradition. Even though the Pygmies are responsible for much of the hunting, fishing and manual labor in jungle villages, Pygmies and Bantus alike say that Pygmies are often paid at the master’s whim: in cigarettes, used clothing, or simply not paid at all. As a result of pressure from UNICEF and human-rights activists, in 2009, a law that would grant special protections to the pygmy people was awaiting a vote by the Congo parliament.[30][31] According to reports made in 2013, this law was never passed.[32]

    In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, during the Ituri Conflict, Ugandan-backed rebel groups were accused by the UN of enslaving Mbutis to prospect for minerals and forage for forest food, with those returning empty handed being killed and eaten.[33]

    Jarek: Looks like Anglin was right. I had heard something about rebels eating Pygmies before.

    The big question is are the people Negroes who adapted to the jungle or an ancient race in and of themselves. Perhaps a bit of both. Apparently they predate the Negro race, and the Khoisans or Bushmen are even more ancient. I’ve heard that the Khoisans were once larger and got smaller as they were pushed into the wastelands by the Negros. So the same might true of the Pygmy, but happening much earlier.

    Not to pick on Blacks since cannibalism was widespread in the Americas and Oceania as well. The advanced races gave it up a long time ago of course.

      Per a Dutch traveler in the 1870s, his baggage carriers were gleefully, joyfully cannibal, pulling the yellow fat from an obese, wounded serving woman and gobbling it like candy.
      (She was killed and eaten later.)

      Travellers to today’s Congo report the cannibals have come back and driven off the villagers. They stir the pot to bring soldiers, who they then trap and eat. The mai-mai, I think they’re called?

      Oh, and the epic diary of Bernardo Diaz, Cortez’s second, reported that every town in the Aztec Empire had large wooden cages of men and women; a donation to the priest, and one would pulled out, butchered and dressed on the spot for dinner.

    The Chinese seem more interested in extracting every last mineral resource from the Dark Continent, as well as ground up Rhino horns they use as an aphrodisiac. I suspect they could care less about boiled Pygmy — out of sight, out of mind.

    I wonder if PRC leadership pay attention to what’s happening to Chinese women in American cities — the beatings they’re taking, and who it is dealing out the beatings. Or does Xi Jinping have bigger fish to fry?

    • Jarek March 16, 2022 at 1:25 pm #

      There’s was one conference where a Chinese woman was shrieking and weeping about the persecution of their people by the Blacks. None of the Asian suits there deigned to answer her. They wanted to be part of the multicultural alliance they deemed was destined to take over America. They were correct of course and they still don’t care now.

      Ordinary people having to suck it up is a time honored tradition if Asian cultures.

      Asian kids being discriminated against in admissions is an issue dearer to their hearts of course. That affects the Asian American elite. They’re taking action on that one.

      This concern started last night before I knew about the LV odds when I viewed some Notre Dame basketball footage on YouTube. They have some terrific 3-pt shooters and a star freshman player named Blake Wesley who puts up great stats in everything from scoring to steals and everything in-between.

      I’m thinking Rutgers coach Pikiell should send in one of his bench warmers (who he can afford to have ejected from the game) to break this Wesley kid’s arm or ankle by “accident.”

    A third of Americans favor U.S. military action in Ukraine even if it risks a nuclear confrontation with Russia, according to a new survey conducted by the Pew Research Center.

    The survey found that 35 percent of Americans supported the U.S. taking military action “even if it risks a nuclear conflict with Russia,” while 62 percent were opposed to the idea.

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine has entered its third week and President Joe Biden has repeatedly said U.S. troops will not be involved in the fighting. NATO has also ruled out imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine because of concerns about a direct confrontation with Russian forces.

    Why are all the world “leaders” hyping up the term WW3? Gee, it is almost as if they are jonesing for this to all play out into the next world war. With they way they are so cavalier about it, one would think they are talking about Super Bowl LVII.

      Phew, weapons systems are pouring into Ukraine. What a bonanza for Russia when they wrap this thing up in a few weeks. Of course, stingers and Javelins will be sold off on the black market to ISIS groups in Iraq and Syria before any Russians get their dirty mitts on them. Those things are like gold and negotiations are going on as I type this. Couple hundred of Gs apiece is what I’m talking about.

      I saw a list of armaments left behind in Afghanistan, it was impressive. Topping the list: 350,000 FN and Colt M-4s.

        The US military has been the biggest blunder in living memory.

        Indochine rice farmers and Afghan goat herders and Mesopotamian black robed radical misogynists.

        Money, weapons, and “deplorable” lives all lost.

        The biggest threat, sincerely, is that they’ll come to your corner, smash & trash everything, bribe every gang leader, overstay for 20 years, and hastily depart leaving all their overpriced death-making junk behind.

    History lesson

    In 1980s advances in nuclear delivery systems, especially submarines and MIRVs, made the two super powers realize that Mutually Assured Destruction was a real, probable result. As no defense was possible, sanity emerged and some disarming happened. The USSR disbanded, the US gave assurances of economic support and NATO stability. The US promptly reneged on its side of the deals. But MAD prevailed, the fear of two generations of nuclear holocaust children remained.

    Move forward thirty years. The MIC of both sides are rattling their arms again. The NWO is the stimulant, using the ignoramuses of theDeep State to elevate the war mood globally. I read the piece saying that 35% of Americans want the US in Ukraine in spite of the possibility of WW3. Stupidification.

    If a goal of the NWO is to reduce the population to 500000000, there is no faster way to do it than WW3. That maybe how dangerous these SOBs are. Think about us, the US public, 35% have been convinced by the MIC and their press agents to encourage pushing Russia US into a nuclear confrontation, again. Both Biden and NATO are resisting the MIC so far but ??!?.

    Hold on, could be a bumpy ride.

    Just watched Representative Maria Salazar of Florida on with Tucker. She had done a street interview in which she said to give the Ukrainians anything they wanted, hinting at a no fly zone as well. He asked her if she had considered the implications of the latter. She had a lot of trouble with this, repeatedly calling it “hypothetical” – as if that invalidated the question. As if Lawmakers aren’t supposed to consider the various possible outcomes of their actions.

    It was much like my attempts at conversation or debate with most of the ladies on this site. She did everything but say, I didn’t say that or Don’t put words in my mouth. Again, he just wanted to know if she had thought about the implications of what she had said. And if so, what she thought they were.

    At last, he got her to admit that Russia had nuclear weapons. How many? A lot. And that conceivably Putin might use “one” (just one?) And that “they” (she actually has a position on a foreign affairs committee apparently!) were indeed thinking about this. But then she seemed to say that that if we came on strong, he would back down. If indeed that is what she believes, she’s wrong. And it is a very, very dangerous belief for all of us.

      I think you’ll find Rulo and Mr Mango have also had to ask you not to put words in their mouth.

      Putting words in someone’s mouth isn’t debate. It’s calumny. And bearing false witness.

      That is not a defence of Ms Salazar of Florida, so don’t make it one.

      • messianicdruid March 17, 2022 at 7:56 am #

        It seemed like Tucker kept her on long enough and kept at it long enough to get her to back stroke a bit on her earlier statement.

        We have “hypothetical” so we can think and talk about things before we do them. Leaders should not run from hypothetical, just a tool like the sticker on the neck of a suit. Just try it on see how it looks on you.

        • Jarek March 17, 2022 at 12:01 pm #

          Of course! That the word becomes a pejorative in minds likes hers is shocking. And of course she then uses it for anything she doesn’t want to answer.

          His question, Do you know about Russia’s nuclear weapons, isn’t a hypothetical, it’s just a question. His question, What do you think Russia will do if we shoot down his planes? is a hypothetical – and a necessary one. As is, Do you think he is willing to use nuclear weapons to defend what he considers to be Russia’s sphere?

          “We have “hypothetical” so we can think and talk about things before we do them. Leaders should not run from hypothetical,”

          I quite agree. What Jarek does to people on this board is way beyond that. It generally starts ‘in other words you think that …’ when you don’t think that at all. If he wants to ask a hypothetical question, he can damn well ask one, instead of telling people what they think.

        Again the explanation flies right over your head. Of course you don’t want to understand so you don’t try.

        Exploring the implications of what the other person says is an intrinsic part of discussion. Do you really not know that? If they don’t like it, then the discussion ends. In terms of formal debate, they lose. In terms of relationships, the relationship turns bad. In terms of nations, utter tragedy ensues if the lawmakers are unable or unwilling to explain what they are doing.

        Disappointing to say the least. You seem smarter than this. But of course, one has to be willing. Being smart is only part of it. For some reason you are unwilling. Perhaps fear of being defeated?

        • GreenAlba March 17, 2022 at 1:22 pm #

          I didn’t defend the Salazar woman in any way, shape or form. She was an absolute horror and I’d have argued with her in exactly the same way as Tucker C if I could have got a word in edgeways.

          I am defending the commenters, male and female, on this board who have had to put up with you putting words in their mouth repeatedly for years.

          Everyone on this board knows how many times you’ve repeated your nonsense that generally goes ‘in other words, you support mass immigration or refugees or whatever you call it’, despite my writing, in black and white, the exact opposite.

          “You seem smarter than this. ”

          And you know where you can stuff that.

          • Jarek March 17, 2022 at 7:06 pm #

            I didn’t say you defended Salazar. That was just an example I was using to make my point.

            Sometimes it’s fine (or necessary) to talk about the kinds of fruits you bought, the details. Their tastes and textures. Other times it is profitable to go abstract and be able to say, yes I bought six pieces of fruit.

            Ideally one can go from the concrete to the abstract, effortlessly. Women love the concrete – and often hate the abstract. Some men may love the abstract too much.

          • GreenAlba March 18, 2022 at 7:11 am #

            ” Other times it is profitable to go abstract and be able to say, yes I bought six pieces of fruit.”

            It would help, in your desperate wish to put women down, if you knew what ‘abstract’ means. ‘Fruit’ is no more abstract than ‘apples’ or ‘oranges’. When I studied Political Philosophy, I dealt with the abstract, whether ‘authority’, ‘freedom’ or Machiavellian ‘virtù’; when I buy apples, pears oranges or *fruit* in general, I deal with the concrete.

            “You seem smarter than this. ” 🙂

            And in any case, the argument was nothing to do with the categories ‘fruit’, ‘apples’ or ‘oranges’. It was to do with you presuming to convert or extrapolate a person’s statement into something that was in no way contained in or implied by that statement, except in your mischievous head.

            You seem smarter than that too. Quit while you’re behind.

          • GreenAlba March 18, 2022 at 7:34 am #

            BTW, when I studied Politics, the course was divided into Political Philosophy, Comparative Politics (real systems) and Political Sociology. I loved Political Philosophy – you could get lost in the abstract forever without having to take responsibility for its implications (or even its irrelevance) in the concrete world. Throw in an example here or there, but basically wittering about concepts while other people were (as Kesa might say) digging ditches, working in Burger King, or risking their life fighting in defence of something concrete (oil or water) that they were told was abstract (freedom).

            Getting lost in the abstract can lead to you not realising that, while you’re droning on about whether or not people are basically good or basically evil (for instance), a bunch of psychos with no interest in the abstract are in the very concrete process of converting your world into hell on earth. I’d say that was one of my many failings, rather than a predilection for the concrete.

      See Barnhardt. If Benedict is there, it might be valid. But if Francis is mocking, it might result in nuclear war.

      Is this really necessary any more? It wasn’t done when Russia was Communist. Does it even apply now? The best thing for Western Europe would be to be conquered by Russia. I assume the Virgin Mary knows that.

      Excuses for days. Can this guy possibly be more of a weenie?

      I understand no one wants to go to prison, but even Martha Stewart did her time (though probably in decent comfort like Juicy was slated to do).

      And his lawyers also state that he committed a “non-violent crime”. Huh. Attempting to falsely foment racial hatred for personal gain has a whole lot of violent potential if it gets enough attention. If only he had not been so obviously lame about it, he’d have been Man Of The Year (pic right there next to Richard Levine in the other column)…

      Anyway, he’ll end up back in jail for this eventually, and he’ll get to live with denying being a POS for the rest of his life (until he plays the OJ card in 30 years and has a ghostwriter pen his own “If I Did It” book).

    Ok, Tucker and Maria changed the subject to America’s border. She has a Plan to give amnesty (it’s not amnesty she shrieks) to the thirty million illegals. DIGNITY she says. Rewarding people who broke our law, he says. No, she says, I’m not giving them citizenship. Sure you are, he says (obviously it’s going in that direction) Then she says, Don’t put words in my mouth. Give me fifteen seconds to explain my Plan.

    He gives her fifteen seconds and then of course she won’t give the ball back to him and keeps running over him. Typical. Women often perhaps usually, have a stronger verbal center than men do. But instead of being matched with superior logic, it’s often matched with irrationality.

    Anyway, she falls into his trap and he manages to make his point: She wants Migs for Ukraine, but doesn’t want to send the Army to secure our border. She uses the word “hypothetical” again. Tucker replies, It’s not hypothetical. It’s a straight forward question. Now he’s kicking her ass.

    Her Dignity Plan is mainstream Republicanism, be it Bush, Rubio, or Trump 1.5. Giving in at at a staid 35 mph or instead of letting illegals vote let the Democrats are starting to do, the screaming 90 mph.

    • SoftStarLight March 17, 2022 at 12:09 pm #

      She also fell into Tucker’s trap when he exposed that she is so enthusiastic about sending military support essentially to Ukraine but she has no interest and would actually probably fight tooth and nail our military going down to the southern border to stop the migration invasion. He proved she is just another duplicitous “Republican” tool.

    https://www.investigaction.net/wp-content/uploads/img/arton3877.jpg

    Can you spot Z? Could it really be? The peace deal is near but the US and Nato must always close the skies. Immense inflows of advanced weaponry, ammunition, tech, and money money money needed needed needed. Why are foreign mercenaries who came to Ukraine’s defense not getting any weapons from the Ukrainian military to fight nor being allowed to leave? And what is a special military operation? Maybe Z is working for Moscow and Minsk. Replenishing weapons stocks and coffers and appropriatng new weapons and tech along the way. All because of emotions and moralizing. They’ll never be part of Nato. He said we were cowards and mocked their values to their faces and they swooned.

      Don’t forget. NATO good, Putin Bad. Putin bombs orphanages and guns down people in bread lines. He is a war criminal. It’s true I saw it on TV.

      Nato bombing campaign in Yugoslavia from the Wiki:

      In 2006, a group of economists from the G17 Plus party estimated the total economic losses resulting from the bombing were about $29.6 billion.[166] This figure included indirect economic damage, loss of human capital, and loss of GDP.[citation needed]

      The bombing caused damage to bridges, roads and railway tracks, as well as to 25,000 homes, 69 schools and 176 cultural monuments.[167] Furthemore, 19 hospitals and 20 health centers were damaged, including the University Hospital Center Dr Dragiša Mišovi?.[168][169] NATO bombing also resulted in the damaging of medieval monuments, such as Gra?anica Monastery, the Patriarchate of Pe? and the Visoki De?ani, which are on the UNESCO’s World Heritage list today.[170] The Avala Tower, one of the most popular symbols of Belgrade, Serbia’s capital, was destroyed during the bombing.[171]

        Yes and apparently a majority of Serbs are supportive of Russia due to the Nato bombings you mention. I heard the other day that actually 70% or more of the Poles support Russia but that info is being suppressed throughout the western media. Apparently its not so much a support of Russian territorial expansion as much as it is in support of Russia’s traditional values and its strong emphasis on nationalism as Poles are very nationalistic.

      I’ve been thinking that for a while about Putin, SSL. Although he’s playing his own game for/on behalf of Russia, his strings may be being pulled by the same people as the opposition. Or at least he may have made a deal with them. As has been mentioned several times already, the vaxx saga is the same in Russia – heaps of pressure on Muscovites, in particular, to get vaxxed up, as uptake rates are very low. People don’t trust the government on this one, even if they back Putin on the world stage. Lots of Russians back the Bill Gates genocide theory and assume their government is part of it, from a few things I’ve read.

      By the end of the Skripal story, I got the feeling that was possibly a set up between Russia and the UK too – all part of the theatre.

      I have no real evidence. And I don’t know what goes on in my husband’s head or my brother’s, let along Putin’s. 🙂

      • Disaffected March 17, 2022 at 11:25 am #

        Good points, all. Keeping an eye on China now to see if this thing escalates and they continue to support Russia and take the heat for it. If they do, the likelihood (to my mind at least) is that this a real bonafide split between the so-called Zone A and Zone B countries. But you never know. No matter how it all plays out in the end, it appears the US and the EU have been marked for elimination. They exploited the world shamelessly throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and now the shoe’s on the other foot. I wouldn’t expect any mercy for their plight as they go down history’s memory hole.

        • GreenAlba March 17, 2022 at 12:28 pm #

          I’d include the UK in there too, along with the EU, Disaffected. I used to argue with Finca that the City of London was properly part of the UK, and it is in the sense that it’s a London borough, but different, with its own by-laws. And the taxes that come from it pay for our schools and hospitals throughout the UK. But it’s also an octopus that spans the globe with its tentacles, and it doesn’t need the UK to survive. It just happens to have birthed here. Alex Thompson (from UKC news) is well educated and a smart guy. He did the first introduction to Reiner Fuellmichs’s Grand Jury Trial (‘Day 2’) about the historical context of what’s happening now, and he traces it unequivocally to the City of London and its 5th column in Manhattan – starting his exposé back in 1870! Funnily enough, OG used to say pretty much the same thing.

          The thing that made me wonder about Putin is the timing. The West seems to have wanted the war right now, for reasons we pretty much know. They all but begged him to invade. Putin can’t have not known that, and he gave them the war right when they wanted it. He could have done it 6 months from now, but he did it now. That raises my suspicions.

            Why now? He says the Ukrainian army was massing for an assault on the Donbass. He’s the only one I’ve heard say this, so I don’t know if it’s true. But if it is, it would explain the timing.

      • SoftStarLight March 17, 2022 at 12:19 pm #

        I think it is very possible that Putin could be involved in the WEF great reset plot. But at this time it actually seems to me more that he is trying to dismantle at least the western WEF elements or the WEF altogether. In his address to the Russian people yesterday he said that the the US and the west are a minority in the world and thus basically will no longer drive the world, a majority of which still want to do business with Russia. And he inferred the western economic structure is going to be done away with.

        • GreenAlba March 17, 2022 at 12:35 pm #

          Well, I’ve thought that too – that he did the WEF thing to get to know his enemies! I doubt I’ll ever know in my lifetime.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 17, 2022 at 11:20 am #

        I’m no economist, but from what I’ve gathered:

        Far fewer countries would hold dollars in reserve, equaling far fewer free dollars for the US government to spend.

        We’d lose the ease of buying and selling internationally without having to deal with conversion rates/higher interest rates.

        It would massively cut down on what our own government could borrow and spend on our own people. Hard to endlessly borrow against a currency that isn’t universally trusted and used around the world. Very easy to do so as the reserve currency.

        From a small business perspective, kind of like losing Disney as a regular client, and having to rely on your smaller clients to get you by going forward.

        Basically our standard of living will quickly derail toward second-world infrastructure status (pun not intended, but noticed). Good luck fixing the roads and trains and stocking up on food/oil stockpiles for future emergencies then.

          The plan is to crash the economy worldwide.

          When they “build back better” afterwards, the BIS digital currency is to replace hard currency, and the requisite ID apps (SSI, etc.) will have to be on everyone’s phones.

          That is how they rebuild after destroying the old system.

          Whether the dollar is a reserve currency isn’t even interesting to discuss at this point, as it won’t exist as you know it anyways.

            Don’t disagree at all. Just answering the question posed above.

            The listed things will happen before that though, among other fun unknowns, suffering will occur, retirements will be wiped out, generational homes foreclosed upon, along with overall expectations of the American Dream by the young and the old alike…then the saviors will apply their century (or more)-old plan to swipe it all and supply us with 400 sq-ft apartments and a freezer full of Cricket Hot Pockets and squeeze tubes of raccoon-fat.

            ““Conspiracy theory!”, say the comfortable and necessarily ignorant.”

            That’s exactly where I see my big bro. He lives in a lovely old house in Yorkshire, that used to be three adjoining cottages. A long while ago I thought both he and I would be relatively safe for a while because our mortgages are paid up (and, in addition, he could squeeze in at least a couple of his kids and their families if absolutely pushed!).

            But in the end I don’t think it will make any difference. Our kids will lose their homes because they have mortgages. Rumour has it debts and loans will be cancelled and they’ll be offered debt forgiveness in exchange for eschewing property rights in perpetuity – they might get to stay in their homes and rent them, if they behave.

            But for those who fully own their own home, if there’s no money and you’re paying your local taxes in social credit, then as soon as you’ve defaulted on the first few payments they can take your house in lieu, I’m guessing.

            So everybody’s stuffed unless they live in the back of beyond, as far as I can see. And, since there won’t be a square inch of land anywhere that’s not visible from space, even the concept of the back of beyond isn’t what it used to be.

            Alba – What you describe is essentially eminent domain repossession without payment for said yoinking of property?

            Yikes.

            You mentioned something about this other day…is there an article you can link explaing what they’re talking about doing re: property in Scotland – and why? (if you already did so, apologies for the busywork)

          • GreenAlba March 17, 2022 at 3:24 pm #

            My musings aren’t from a Scottish document – they’re just what I’ve picked up from general opinions about how the Going Direct Reset will work – plus a ‘Canadian ‘leaked’ Council memo that said pretty much what I’ve just said about debts and loans. Someone posted it here – maybe anmari?

            The extra bit about the means of dispossessing people who’ve paid up their mortgages is just my opinion on how it will be done. The plan is that we are to own nothing. People who own their own homes (outright) can hold out a bit longer against the tyranny, so I’m sure they’ll find a way of arranging for us to not own our homes any more.

            I’m assuming, if money is removed from the system, we’re all starting from the same base line, as savings and pensions will disappear – no idea what happens with the remaining jobs or if salaries are to be paid in the same way (as Mike Yeadon is wont to say, ‘I don’t know – it’s not my crime’). But if one is living on UBI, then how does one pay taxes on or related to property? We don’t have property taxes here, but we have a Council tax that is dependent on the value of your property. If your UBI doesn’t cover it, you’re stuffed, presumably? I have previously speculated on a 100% inheritance tax too.

            If BlackRock is running the show, they are de facto the Law, and they will decide on how taxes work.

            Martin Armstrong thinks there is a struggle going on, or there will be, between the European Great Reset gang and American regional banks.

            Per Armstrong these banks are incredibly powerful, and they will not give up their power to a system managed centrally by a bunch of krauts and frogs.

            Just sayin’—that is Armstrong’s view. So please, don’t fight with me.

            It does make a certain amount of sense, though . . .

            Not all of the struggle is class struggle.

            Clash of the titans?

            Which doesn’t mean that we on the ground are not screwed, of course. But maybe screwed in a slightly less noxious way by our own banksters than by Schwab & Co.?

        Read an article once on this question.

        When a currency is valued, internationally it is put up against a standard. The ultimate standard is gold, or it has been.

        The fact that all currencies, the Yuan or yen for example must be converted to dollars to buy oil, stabilizes the greenback. Gold is ultimate, oil is relatively stable, and the dollar is stable because it is locked onto gold, the ratio is relatively stable.

        Until 2008 and now. The floating oil to dollar ratio is threatening to dollar, like the change from Nixon revaluing gold. It is an admission that the dollar, compared to a barrel of oil is not worth much. If the Yuan ends up taking the dollars place in the oil market, it is evidence that the faith of the world in the stability of the US no longer exists. The dollar will plunge in relation to the resources of the world and we will pay the disgference in the store or the gas pump.

        Today, we are witnessing the beginning of the change.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 17, 2022 at 11:35 am #

          …and the dollar is stable because it is locked onto gold…

          Was until 1971. Thanks for “Opening Up China”, Tricky Dick! It did give us a good 30-40 extra years of pretending to be invincible, I’ll give him that…but now we get to hand over the keys of this broken-down ’79 Chevette to someone else who’s been playing the long game. There’s literally nothing to back it up but historical tendencies (and some pretty kick-ass bombs n shit, I suppose, but good luck winning the hearts and minds of the world financial system by blowing things up some more).

    • Disaffected March 17, 2022 at 11:18 am #

      The short answer is that everything will be MUCH more expensive, if it’s available at all. Many imports simply won’t be. And since we’ve so successfully off-shored most all of our production, we’ll have shortages across the board as well. Jobs might become available again, but they won’t pay shit, and no one will want to do them. At the same time corporate profits will plummet along with the Retirement Accounts of those foolish enough to invest in them. And finally, many defined benefit retirement plans will go belly up and cease payments altogether. I would add that those people would also be in danger of losing their homes and assets, but with so much collapse all around (including banks), what would be the point in repossessing them? Only Corporate REITs would be able to afford them, but who would they rent them to make a profit? Rich Asians?

      • JohnAZ March 17, 2022 at 11:33 am #

        Dis

        I wonder about one point. Corporations are international now. They are gravitating toward China. Businesses that are local to the US will be clobbered by increasing costs if the dollar is devalued. But the whorish international guys will just lock onto the Yuan will little impact.

        The main impact is the dollar will deflate in the world’s eye, making US economy less valuable in the world marketplace, especially oil.

        Hyperinflation here, less exports, more imports as US goods become more expensive.

        This is already happening and is accelerating.

        Biden’s desire to shut down US oil by inflating the price is insanity and will cause the transition to occur faster.

        Add this onto the Crud and the proxy war and our demise is rapidly speeding up.

          Yes JAZ, the multi-nationals will survive alright. They just won’t rely on or do much business in the US anymore. But that was the long term plan anyway. Extract everything they could from one market and then move onto the next.

          As far as open borders, the positive way to look at it is that eventually the misery will all balance out. We’ll be just as poor as the third world countries we’ve looted all this time, so there will be no more opportunity and no more reason for them to keep coming here. In fact, we’ll likely become a war zone of sorts, so the flow might actually reverse! Won’t that be the shits!

        it worked out quite well for Russia, after the 2014 sanctions. Russia has become much more self-reliant, plus they have built up their agricultural sector with all non-GMO crops.

        Michael Hudson agrees with me!

      Sadly, if these effects keep up, in 15-20 years it will be normal, and those who grew up thinking it was a standard health concern for the young will line up to take their govt-recommended “heart and stroke prevention” shots. And then continue dying, while assuming it wasn’t the shot or some other unnatural reason.

      • JohnAZ March 17, 2022 at 12:57 pm #

        Yes, SSL, if you draw a model for the NWO world model, that is what you have seen for ten years in Ukraine. Remember who was right in there helping out set up Ukraine’s social model? Biden’s mob. His son! All kinds of Deep State cronies that eventually testified against Trump’s government.

        The really scary part is it is the identical model for the Democratic national platform. Want to know where we are heading, look at where Ukraine was heading.

        Until Putin stopped them.

        Hmmm. Is Putin going to stop the down slide of the values of America? He definitely wants to stop the NWO because he knows Russia is in their sights. Could his actions stop the NWO takeover of America?

    What is psychopathy? Is it not just the survival-urge, repressed by “civilization,” re-emerging within the repressing civilization in various states and degrees of deformation?

    It is at least one form of the natural rebellion-urge against the constrictive artificialities of over-civilizing.

      Natural, yes. But with abnormal implementation.
      _______________

      Signs of psycopathy:

      – socially irresponsible behavior
      – disregarding or violating the rights of others
      – inability to distinguish between right and wrong
      – difficulty with showing remorse or empathy
      – tendency to lie often
      – manipulating and hurting others
      – recurring problems with the law
      – general disregard towards safety and responsibility
      _______________

      Essentially natural, base human desires and tendencies…but without giving two shits about what acting on them might mean for others.

      • gustafson.robert.22 March 17, 2022 at 12:56 pm #

        I believe over-civilizing renders the natural “care-for-neighbors” urge obsolete because the social-fabric that birthed that neighborly urge has become deformed… and, that much psychopathy is a more rational response to the realities of overpopulated, over-civilized social arrangements than is often acknowledged.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 17, 2022 at 1:05 pm #

          I see your angle now. Interesting point.

          That said, I believe 9 of 10 people (at least in my general circle) still prefer to keep their potential screwing-over of others to a normal “self-preservation” level. It’s taking it to the next stage of sport and not caring what that means for the other nine of the group that delineates the difference.

          Those capable of attaining national/intranational power care for nothing but the sport and what it affords them and theirs. See: Justin Trudeau.

          Big difference between that and not wanting to get to know your neighbors in a NYC walkup because it’s a hassle.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 17, 2022 at 1:10 pm #

          But a majority of humans still feel the urge to check in on their elderly neighbor from time to time and perhaps shovel their walk, regardless of whether or not they know them well.

  135. JohnAZ March 17, 2022 at 12:47 pm #

    So Ukraine is the “brave” proxy that will fight Russia for the “Free world”, right?

    Just saw that Mariupol is 90% ruins, with the other cities not far behind. Great! I guess it is okay as 3 million Ukrainians have left. We have no idea what Russia is going to do with what is left. Are they going to rebuild it or leave it a decimated DMZ? My guess is a DMZ.

    So Z is brave and a great speaker. The results are devastating.

    The NWO, via the US and Europe decide to whack Russia one more time in Ukraine. Russia even warns against the move, drawing a red line. Do the “Allies” back off to try to stabilize the border?

    Oh no. Full speed ahead, Ukraine into NATO, piss on Russia and Putin, they will not do anything,

    Right?

    So Putin calls their bluff and attacks Ukraine to enforce the red line. Omigod, a war criminal is born.

    Russia will not stop until the region is stable, in their eyes. With the arrogant West name calling and refusing to rearm Ukraine and all the “grown up” stuff they are doing, Putin is going to wreck Ukraine’s ability to be an arm of NATO. I hope that the NATO folks have the resources to care for 3 million new folks that they have created.

    So who is at fault here. Examination of this question really troubles loyalty to the USA government and especially the Deep State Democratic led MSM propagandized battle against Russia. Hope the US can recover from Biden’s GND fiasco and can find some oil supply somewhere to supplant Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia’s supply. SA? Remember the holier than thou Prince murder routine? Oil is going up again, gas too. Reason? Supply uncertainty! Surprise!!!

    I cannot believe it this morning, the administration is sending Heels up out for six weeks to tout all of Biden’s accomplishments. .???

    Ahahahahahahahaha.

    Never in the history of this country has a president and his menagerie done more to destroy the country and its people than JOJO Bozo. Sending Heel ups to Europe to represent the US with NATO. It keeps getting worse and worse. How can anyone, and they do, think that this government is doing anything right? How can even a hidebound Democrat defend what is going on right now? I do not get it.

    Breitbart

    An 18-year-old female Ukrainian refugee was reportedly raped in a migrant accommodation centre in the German city of Düsseldorf by men of Nigerian and Iraqi heritage.

    The alleged rape took place at a hotel ship, the Oscar Wilde, which has been used as an accommodation centre for refugees in Düsseldorf who have fled from the conflict in Ukraine.

    The two men suspected of rape, a 37-year-old from Nigeria and a 26-year-old from Iraq, are said to have taken turns sexually abusing the 18-year-old young woman. Both men are Ukrainian passport holders, but the exact circumstances around their citizenship remains unclear, Bild reports.

    There is also no indication yet why the men were allowed to leave Ukraine as refugees, given widespread reports that fighting-age men are being prevented from fleeing so they can contribute to the defence of the nation.

    The public prosecutor’s office in Düsseldorf confirmed that the two men had been arrested and were in police custody as of Monday and police have opened an investigation into the incident.

    Jarek: Indeed, why were these “Ukrainians” males of fighting age allowed to leave? Or do Zelensky and Co know that such soldiers are of more use in Western Europe as rapists and criminals?

    How many non-Whites did this monster let in? Did the Ukrainians not realize that they were losing their country?

    ” Food will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no food. Plan accordingly. ”

    True.

    — The trouble is that you have to think in terms of ;

    No $3,000 tiller .

    No $500’s worth of gasoline for the tiller.

    No $300’s worth of black plastic ground cover.

    No $300’s worth of Miracle Grow

    No $300’s worth of Roundup.

    As someone who actually has done that sort of gardening ,

    I doubt the average American doomsday – prepper has actually spared even five minutes thought to that likely possibility .

    As in so very many things , even the sharpest American lives in a fantasy world.

    And there are no third-worlders at hand to give you a reality check,

    Because the typical third-worlder who immigrates to the United States is a dyed in the wool Disney Corporation happy – ending type.

    Or , they won’t fill you in , because they have a vested interest in telling you what you want to hear.

    Anyway , the good news is that generally , West of the Mississippi, a family can meet almost all its food needs on a quarter – acre.

    The bad news is you will be eating a hell of a lot of the same thing over and over again , beyond the point of monotony.

    And not necessarily what you would choose either , but whatever luck , or the eccentricities of your particular patch of soil , produces most abundantly.

    Also , if you don’t want your veggies absolutely overwhelmed by weeds , your garden will require a minimum 5 hours of hard , tedious work every day. —

    — i.e. somebody is going to have to quit their job.

    And someone else is going to have to acculturate themselves to a new state of affairs where breadwinner does not automatically equate to you call the shots.

    You live in a kind of collective now, even if the collective is only three people , and every decision is a committee affair , and everyone has a veto.

    It’s that or starve to death / commit suicide.

    I doubt even the average Clusterfucker is actually looking at things remotely realistically.

    So Im wondering;

    1. did these NATO ministers secretly sneak into Kiev?

    or

    2. Did the Russians offer them safe passage in and out of Kiev?

    or

    3. Is Zelensky pretending to be in Kiev while secretly hiding out somewhere else?

    High School kids in these little towns have become politicized. I first noticed it a few years ago during the George Floyd upheaval, about 2 dozen students — all white girls in cute outfits — marching around in front of the HS holding up BLM signs and shouting revolutionary slogans. Now here we are a few years later and they were out there waving Ukrainian National Flags, probably different girls tho. Probably from the PolySci club. The school admin promotes political activism; apparently there is an active LBGQT Club extant.

      The other day I volunteered to wash dishes / work in the kitchen at a Knights of Columbus gathering.

      ( the Knights of Columbus is an all – male fraternity. But while women’s groups not uncommonly are exclusive , men’s groups never are. )

      This was in a Church named , ” Christ THE KING ”

      The Knights first marched in singing ,

      ” Holy God, we praise thy name.
      God of all, we bow before thee.
      All on earth your scepter claim;
      all in heav’n above adore thee.
      Infinite thy vast domain,
      everlasting is thy reign. …. ”

      A Monarchist / Fuedalist anthem if ever there was one.

      But you know that these days , Protestant or Catholic ,

      ” In God we trust ”

      Really seems to mean , ” God is a Statist ”

      No old time monarchist or feudalist of the old regime old school would have regarded statism as anything but an obscenity.

    Upthread, Alba, jar and ssl were talking anout the possibility Putin is playing both sides of this thing. I wonder. There’s an old prophesy saying that before the flag of the Immaculate hangs over Russia, the red flag of communism will hang over Rome, or the Vatican, or both.

    It also says Russia will make war on the whole world, and the invaders will arrive by land sea and air , without warning while you are going about your business. That part might be in the former link, left at bottom of this link.

    It’s near the bottom of this post,…

      Story from India: Each day a young monk walked down the street past a brothel. One of the young whores admired his purity, his bearing, and the control he had over his senses. And each day he noticed her and despised her. Thus she gained his good karma and he acquired hers. We become what we meditate on after all. They exchanged identifies in a sense.

      Just so Russia. They are now Nationalist or Fascist. We are now Communist, spreading revolution all over the world. Somehow, we exchanged identities.

      • anmariwakaranai March 17, 2022 at 11:49 pm #

        Yes, that’s why the prophesy is confusing. The commy flag already hangs over the vatican and the white house what with jen psak tong and the new communist china trained comptroller of the currency and all the little maos like aoc etc… even the controlled opp, mzzz hawaii herself is wefer.

        So Russia will take on the whole communist world, or what?

        Now you sound like Rasputin.

        Except in my case I would consider that a compliment.

        Near as I can tell , Rasputin was one of the very few folks on Country Club Row at the time who thought World War I was bat shit crazy or retarded.

    ” This isn’t really a sports forum just as a little reminder ”

    Once upon a time I assumed the basic premise of this forum was that the HAPPY motoring culture / the Era of cheap coal and cheap petroleum was coming to an end.

    So I assumed what might actually come after that might at least occasionally be discussed here.

    Granted , on any given day there are scores of sound bites ripped off a Mad Max movie ( ? ) or some such ( ? ) on CFN.

    But , otherwise , no , you can count on one hand the number of times the subject has ever really been explored or even touched on in the three years ( ? ) I have been here.

    So if Q wants to talk about sports , or grammar ,

    I suppose it’s about as relevant as any of the rest of this fare.

    ” It’s not nice to take the Lord’s name in vain Q ”

    I used to routinely call my brother an asshole , commonly told him , ” fuck you “.

    He didn’t commonly take offense , though , or get particularly mad about it.

    Because he knew what my motives were , and he was familiar with the actual context.

    Note that this was despite the fact that my brother was NOT a mind reader.

    My best guess is that God IS a mind reader.

    So I’m fairly confident of what he thinks of me and my speech , as opposed to what you think he thinks of a person you don’t really know.

    But , OK, taking the lord’s name in vain:

    An hours study , or maybe even just 30 minutes study , of the iconography on 1st Century Roman coins ought to convince anyone that the conventional modern interpretation of Christ’s ,

    ” render unto Caesar .. ” is unambiguously a lieing , evil blasphemy and heresy.

    Maybe you should go tell folks to cut out that shit ?

    But I won’t hold my breath waiting for that

    • SoftStarLight March 18, 2022 at 4:40 am #

      ” render unto Caesar .. ” is unambiguously a lieing , evil blasphemy and heresy.”

      And I would imagine rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s implies that Caesar’s kingdom is not the kingdom of God. An acknowledgement that the state is often at odds with spirituality and thus two different spheres of inluence and power. Though in other areas of scripture the model state appears to blend Caesar and church.

    • Anthea March 18, 2022 at 9:30 am #

      @ KesaAnna:

      The saying, “Render unto Caesar those things which are Caesar’s,” seems to me to be equivocation (at best). Exactly what things are, rightly and justly, Caesar’s? Caesar and his minions are merely thieves and have no just claim to anything at all.

  157. KesaAnna March 17, 2022 at 11:47 pm #

    the iconography on 1st Century Roman coins –

    About 90% of it is pagan religious iconography, at least occasionally by modern standards pornographic religious imagery.

    The pagan religious imagery would include the portrait of the Emperor on the coin, which the scripture specifically refers to.

    The Emperor was not , per se , worshipped as a God , at least not until he died . When he did die , he certainly was worshipped explicitly as a God.

    Anyway , while still breathing , the Devine spark , or genus , in the Emperor was worshipped.

    We may wonder though if the average person understood or appreciated that fine distinction?

    So the image of Ceasar on a Roman coin was not at all like George Washington on an American coin.

    A very different ball game.

    As I said , the iconography on Roman coins was explicitly religious in content and meaning.

    And certainly any 1st Century Jew would have been aware of this.

    I.e . — no fucking way did Christ mean in this case what they habitually and consistently claim he meant.

    • anmariwakaranai March 18, 2022 at 12:00 am #

      Ceasars fiat versus Marys. Let him have his man made token of value, I guess that means doge coin goes to the doge.

    ” Are we watching the same war?

    Body armor is heavy; I would hope someone could/would drag me to safety if I got hit? ”

    Sorry , but that’s more Hollywood movie bullshit.

    If you get hit ?

    Drag you to safety ?

    Never mind the nuclear , biological, and chemical stuff,

    The lowest grade modern conventional weapons make the best they had in World War II look like quaint antiques.

    And even in World War II war was already shear slaughter , mass suicide/ genocide on a staggering scale.

    Whether one survived the battlefield a matter of SHEAR LUCK , and a long shot at that.

    For example , the Hitlerjugend SS Division went into Normandy at full strength , about 10,000 men.

    ONE MONTH later the survivors numbered 500.

    And it wasn’t because they were slackers.

    After 6 years of war the SS Liebestandarte and Das Reich Divisions had seen their entire number wiped out 5 or 6 times over.

    ( granted , there were members of those divisions from 1939 still alive in 1945 , but any division has file clerks , folks rotated to the rear for this reason or that , etc .

    Anyone not so lucky ? NO SURVIVORS. )

    The United States did not do away with conscription after Vietnam out of a kind heart , or for any moral reason ,

    But because Korea and Vietnam demonstrated to the ruling class that they don’t really want the average American citizen to see the realities of military science.

    Mercenary volunteers are a different story.

    Complicity is a thing easily purchased in any scenario ,

    and a minority of these people are death junkies.

    I know ” Death junkie ” sounds far – fetched , unless maybe you consider that Crack or Meth junkies certainly exist ,
    Except they don’t pin medals on Meth Heads or give them a GI Bill.

      Now to get a bit miffed ,

      When I was a little girl , my dream was to join the army when I grew up.

      ( not your army , though. )

      At least even at 8 fucking years old I knew what that would mean .

      It’s not like the conclusions to be reached require fucking genius.

      And I wasn’t fishing for no fucking GI Bill or God damned college plan.

      Sometimes you folks really get on my fucking nerves.

      Please pull your head out of your ass is too much to ask.

      The West is doomed , and not because of that piddling minority of LBTQ – parrot – fuckers or whatever ,

      But because , for example , the average person thinks Rambo is remotely real.

      Lol I never heard the words to The International before; Its a catchy tune alright.

      WTF I’m doing up so early I don’t know.

      That’s an interesting point about those SS Divisions being wiped out several times over. After the 6th Army was destroyed at Stalingrad the German High Command just created another 6th Army, (which was also destroyed in 1944)

    • SoftStarLight March 18, 2022 at 4:21 am #

      “But if you can dish it out ,

      You should take it , no ?”

      This appears to be a perfect opportunity to consider the complexities of and reacquaint ourselves with the realities of hierarchy. And certainly you are familiar with the mechanics of monarchy. And therefore it will come as no surprise that indeed it can be the case that one is able to dish out that which they are not obliged to take.

      That being said this particular privilege is enjoyed by likely a tiny fraction of the population. Which inevitably leads to the revolutionary fervor for communitarian universalism so beautifully displayed. And yet armies fight and die because and for walls and because and for their specific racism, and even for cash and cigarettes.

      And while I would certainly prefer the rule of a super ultra nationalist junta replete with public civil and military celebrations filled with pomp and circumstance I can’t help but think the anarcho-tyranny of our predatory marxified capitalists is a murderous cold blooded fanatic phase in and of itself. Thank you

      Brittany does look kind of manly.

      Now that she will be a permanent resident of Russia I wonder if she’ll be pissing on the Russian flag like she did with the American flag.

      BLM and Antifa are forming up a guerilla rescue squad to bust her out of the gulag at Magadan lol.

      Free Brittany Griner!!

      WE STAND STRONG WITH UKRAINE!!!
