Prisoners of Themselves

     You realize, don’t you, that the gross misconduct of government officials from RussiaGate on down to the courtroom of Judge Juan Merchan has amounted to one continuous operation against the American people? If it were ever honestly adjudicated, many hundreds of them might go to prison, or worse. Each successive seditious and treasonous action they attempt against their arch-nemesis, Mr. Trump, only compounds their criminal liability — the Steele Dossier, CIA agent Eric Ciaramella’s 2019 impeachment prank, the Covid-19 caper, the George Floyd-BLM hustle, the 2020 election hijinks, the J-6 op and the House J-6 Committee conjured up to spin it, the present battery of farcical court cases — and yet the Golden Golem of Greatness not only remains defiantly at large, but seems to amass ever more electoral mojo.

     The epic failure of these mighty efforts, and the humiliation entailed, has lately driven this vast bureaucratic cabal — collectively styled as “the blob” — to a stage of abject desperation that looks a lot like insanity. They fear for their lives, their fortunes, their chattels, and their families, and they seem ready to wreck the republic to save themselves. They have so far pretty much wrecked American justice with their lawfare tactics — a degenerate campaign to use the vested authority of prosecutors and judges to twist and cheat the law at the cost of the law’s legitimacy. Merrick Garland, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Marc Elias, Christopher Wray, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg have made law the enemy of the people.

      All this becomes more obvious each day, for instance events of the past week in Judge Aileen Cannon’s federal courtroom in Florida where the Mar-a-Lago documents case proceeds. Turns out that Special Counsel Jack Smith has deliberately messed with the evidence, which is patently felonious. Also, turns out that sometime between the “Joe Biden” inauguration and the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August, 2022, boxes of presidential documents stored by the US General Services Administration were “delivered” to Mr. Trump’s mansion without any proper accounting for what might have been in them. A set-up you suppose? Why not? After everything else the FBI and the DOJ have attempted since 2015?

     Christopher Wray in particular might have wanted some surefire probable cause to get his agents into Mar-a-Lago where, rumor has it, Mr. Trump kept his own dossier of evidence against the FBI and DOJ officials who concocted the “Crossfire Hurricane” chapter of RussiaGate. Even if you assume that Mr. Trump had multiple copies of the thing, FBI Director Wray — in position since 2017 throughout most of RussiaGate — surely wanted to see what Mr. Trump was holding if it would become necessary for current and former FBI / DOJ officials to defend themselves in court against very serious charges.

      You see the desperation, don’t you? And how stupendously amateurish these machinations have been? Planting evidence and then fiddling around with it? I’m waiting for the moment when Judge Cannon summons Jack Smith and announces to his face that she is tossing the case for prosecutorial misconduct. Will she add a criminal referral to that? How will that affect the other case (attempting to overturn the 2020 election) brought against Mr. Trump in Judge Tanya Chutkan’s DC federal district court? Who will prosecute it if Jack Smith can no longer function as Special Counsel? And since the case was contrived in his name — even if Eisen, McCord, Weissmann, and others are really the authors — does that case blow up, too?

     Letitia James’s real estate case under Judge Arthur Engoron was so idiotic it can’t possibly survive an ultimate appeal, and the Alvin Bragg confection under Judge Merchan is playing out like something that usually only happens in places like Honduras or Liberia. Yet the American Left, the “progressive” Democratic Party, is staking everything on it. It’s all they have left Lawfare-wise, at least for now. Which brings us to the question: Why do the non-governmental elites of this land, the managerial and thinking classes, the college presidents, the cable news producers, the corporate execs, the movie directors, the whole arts establishment. . . why do they feel compelled, for nearly a decade now, to hitch their identity and their self-respect to this fantastic train of Kafka-esque corruption, tyranny, and abuse? How did they get owned by the blob?

     We may never find out, and they may never know either, even after they snap out of the mass formation they’ve been in thrall to. But they have made themselves ridiculous — figures like Sam Harris, Stephen Colbert, and Rob Reiner — yelling about “saving our democracy” while the blob they worship systematically disassembles the US Constitution, and makes American law a global laughingstock.

     Most of my old ex-friends are riding the same ideological bus. You have to wonder: how did the likes of “Joe Biden,” Merrick Garland, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Christopher Wray, Fani Willis, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, and Bill Gates become their heroes? Did the Covid vaccines destroy their minds? Are they really avid for central bank digital money and surveillance of their every move? Do they want to be told how to live by the WHO? Things are going south fast now in our country. If these people ever cherished the idea of being free to think their own thoughts and live their own lives, it’s getting late in the game. They will end up prisoners of themselves.

    ” A set-up you suppose? Why not? After everything else the FBI and the DOJ have attempted since 2015?”

    Desperate acts will become increasingly normalized. I would guess that both Trump and RFK Jr. get JFK’ed.

    But if Trump does win, even now the booby-traps are being laid to wreck everything: the economy, investments, public safety, etc. And, of course, blame it on Trump and his allies.

    I strongly recommend that like-minded states get their act together and begin planning now for a wel- organized secession. Or what, war? Civil war? How can you win that?

    You don’t win, you pick up the pieces afterwards.

    • JackStraw May 6, 2024 at 9:15 am #

      I see the same outcome, too. We’ve witnessed the complete lack of accountability for all the illegal activities conducted by the PTB, and we know that voting will not solve the problem, so therefore, it’s time for the states to split.

      A nation that no longer shares any core values has to fall.

      Let’s just hope it can be peaceful, but I highly doubt it.

      • Cankerpuss May 6, 2024 at 11:04 am #

        A split will never happen. The states themselves are too divided amongst themselves. I live in Utah. Salt Lake City controls the elections and the legislature. I was born in Idaho. Boise controls the elections and legislature. I lived in Arizona. Phoenix controls it all.

        The more conservative areas in all of these states are at the behest of the populations centers, politically speaking.

        Then add to the fact that all of the states rely, almost entirely, upon Federal Government sending them foney money to fund their derelict infrastructure and non-existent budgets.

        Add to that that the people in those states are so divided along political tribes and fiefdoms that one fiefdom will argue the sky in pink just because the other said it was blue.

        I believe we will just see an utter collapse in government’s ability to maintain any kind of order. It will just stop. Temporary chaos will result, a lot of people will die in the chaos and then the remnant will re-order themselves.

        A split in the states is not going to happen. Look at eastern Oregon. They want to join Idaho but the Oregon Legislature, controlled by Portland, Salem and Eugene, won’t let it happen. The citizens don’t want to go to war to do it. It won’t happen.

        • Jarek May 6, 2024 at 12:47 pm #

          Yes the states themselves are just little blobs, local outposts of the Blob itself. And that includes the red. In Idaho, almost no state politicians deigned to speak at the rallies for Trump following the stolen election. It would look bad to those who watch. And by state politicians I definitely mean Republican for the most part, this being Idaho.

        • Rowdypiglet May 6, 2024 at 1:09 pm #

          @Cankerpuss, That may be nowhere more evident than here in Maine, where state government is as far removed from the intentions and wishes of all of rural Maine as could possibly be imagined. Making Maine (MAINE!) a refuge for “trans” children who are stolen from their parents to be surgically mutilated? Idiots from Portland trying to push a law that would prevent someone from removing a person who has broken into their house, provided the person claims they have no place to go?

          We are deluged with these “bills”, and every trick is tried to get them passed. Meanwhile, people in this state work hard and are poor. They don’t have leisure time or means to turn up at Augusta every day to speak against the latest outrage. But “teachers,” trans activists, environmental lunatics equipped with glue, appear to have no end of leisure time to promote and affirm what no one wants. Portland and Augusta could not be farther removed, ideologically and in every other way, from the ordinary Maine citizen. They do, however, run everything.

          The point is that the divisions are not between red and bue states but between rural and urban within every state.

          • Beryl of Oyl May 6, 2024 at 1:58 pm #

            Maine wants to make itself irrelevant to any presidential election, giving all its power away to places like New York and California.

          • Rowdypiglet May 6, 2024 at 2:30 pm #

            @Beryl, I’m not sure what you’re referencing when you say “Maine wants . . . ” Who is this Maine? Thoroughly woke Portland, now filled with homeless encampments thanks to the traitorous city council, the Maine medical establishment that sees purported trans children as a financial bonanza, the woke Governor who is despised throughout rural Maine, the citizens who own the highest per capita number of guns in the nation, the teachers and school boards who slither into their positions and then defy the people they’re meant to represent? The farmers, the fisherman now faced with having a government spy on board every time they leave harbor? These Maines are irreconcilable but they all exist within the state of Maine.

          • Organist1022 May 6, 2024 at 2:43 pm #

            Let’s not forget that Staten Island is one of the five boroughs. Part of NYC, but votes red.

          • Paula D May 6, 2024 at 4:33 pm #

            This reminds me of an article I just read on the NGOs in Georgia.

            It isn’t just foreign countries being destroyed by NGOs. They are doing the same thing here.
            The more people employed by a Blob, the more chance it has to be entrenched.
            Look at Homeland Security. It’s only 22 years old, but it employs so many people that it has power it should not have. They are now working to give themselves the power to censor even more than they already have, and to label people “domestic terrorists” to use lawfare against more citizens.
            Same in Georgia. It’s a tiny country, with 3.7 million people and 25,000 NGOs.
            Why so many? Look at a map. Like Ukraine, Georgia is positioned on Russia’s border.

            Anyway, check out the article and see if it reminds you of the
            people working to destroy Maine and other states in the US.

            “The point is that the divisions are not between red and bue states but between rural and urban within every state”.

            BINGO! Well thought out. Well understood.

            If the Grand Center (in Davos, et al.) can hold, there’ll be none of this that y’all are prognosticating. I see an Orwellian, totalitarian state.

            I fear it. I don’t want it. But I think false optimism keeps most of us from contemplating that.

          • Rowdypiglet May 7, 2024 at 4:09 pm #

            @Paula, That article definitely spoke to me. NGOs have infested everything in Maine and their presence and influence is to be found everywhere. Also found everywhere is the money they freely spend on “activists” who turn up everywhere, having nothing better to do, in support of any and every kind of assault on the values and wishes of most Maine people. If the NGOs, their money, and their well paid minions were to disappear, the real Maine would reappear in the blink of an eye. It’s not gone, it’s all still here, but you’d never know it unless you live in rural Maine.

        • Yirgach May 6, 2024 at 3:47 pm #

          @CP

          You hit the nail on the head. The basic constitutional problem is that the the states were allowed to continue their own form of government, the founders never realizing that maybe requiring membership in the Republic also requires a fair and balanced electorate, ie an electoral college within the state as in the federal version. As above so below. They missed that part.

          The Senate (members appointed (not elected) by the state) was supposed to represent that, but the 17th amendment destroyed that balance.

          Major mistake which we are still paying dearly for.

          • Cankerpuss May 6, 2024 at 4:15 pm #

            Yep. The Senate became nothing more than a glorified “house of representatives” after the 17th amendment and the States themselves lost all representation at the Federal Government. This essentially destroyed the founder’s intentions. Up to that point:

            The Senate represented the State legislatures.

            The House represented the people.

            The Presidency was the Federalist.

            The balance is now out of whack and the states are nothing more than administrative fiefdoms of the Federalists.

            Just another damage inflicted by that fucker Woodrow Wilson (and his wife Edith who was the President after Woodrow had his stroke).

          • Breck May 7, 2024 at 12:57 pm #

            Only not a “mistake” Yir. As FDR famously said, “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way”. If anyone would know it would have been Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

          • Yirgach May 8, 2024 at 1:30 pm #

            Breck,

            You’re right, it wasn’t an accident, for what ever reason it was done on purpose and in hindsight it is a big fucking mistake.

            You’re lucky you don’t live in Vermont, another horror show controlled by the large population centers. Been living here for the past 50 years and wow has it changed. Reminds me of cancerous tumors infecting a body. Very sick.
            Needs chemo real bad.

        • Heartlander May 7, 2024 at 12:27 am #

          I was in Salt Lake City week before last. I couldn’t believe the profusion of those damned rainbow flags with the damned brown, black, pink, white and baby-blue triangle. The flag of rebellion against God and Nature, the flag of oerversion, pedophilia, child-rape and child-mutilatiin. That satanic flag was hanging from people’s porches, it was on cars and in store windows, it was on people’s T-shirts and earrings, it was f’ing EVERYWHERE. Salt Lake has even renamed one of its main east-west thoroughfares Harvey Milk Blvd.

          And I thought Utah was a red state! But in Salt Lake City — or at least the northeast quadrant of it, which is where I was, I might as well have been in Manhattan or Seattle.

          • Breck May 7, 2024 at 12:58 pm #

            Wow!

    • tuco22 May 6, 2024 at 9:20 am #

      Well, you know they have to get rid of the 2nd amendment, or at least, gun ownership, and everything they’ve tried up until now has failed to do that. So your guess that a political assassination could be in the works is unfortunately on the mark.

      • dilbert113 May 6, 2024 at 4:00 pm #

        1) Getting 2/3 of the states to ratify an amendment repealing the Second Amendment is impossible. In fact, the US has not made a serious, substantive amendment to the Constitution in over 50Y, which is part of problem it is in now 2) Even if, somehow, someway, the government outlawed firearms, gun owners would laugh, and keep their weapons and ammunition, buying more on the black market, like people currently buy illegal drugs, if they felt the need. You could spend a century trying gun confiscation, and the country would still be full of firearms and ammunition, there are just too many of them owned by private citizens to make them all disappear.

        • SpeedyBB May 6, 2024 at 4:36 pm #

          Amazing, Dilbert, how the docile Aussies all obediently turned in their firearms a couple of years back. Covid tyranny, with police beating protestors and the [elected!] gov setting up concentration camps for the purebloods – and the citizenry utters nary a squeak.

          Well, maybe a few peeps.

        • stelmosfire May 6, 2024 at 4:38 pm #

          The majority of states (29 as of last count) are now constitutional carry states. Any legal citizen can carry a firearm without getting the states permission first. Just as intended by the 2nd amendment. At the same time the crazy radical blue states are passing ever more restrictive gun laws. Quite a divide is growing.

    • tuco22 May 6, 2024 at 9:24 am #

      They’re still blaming Trump for the relaxing of safety regulations that they claim has led to all those train derailments, and when I point out that Biden’s had three-plus years to reinstate them and hasn’t, I never get a reply.

      • tuco22 May 6, 2024 at 9:27 am #

        Actually, I’m surprised they’re still not blaming Bush for something.

        • Uncle Bob May 6, 2024 at 10:03 am #

          Or Reagan. Or Herbert Hoover.

        • RD3 May 6, 2024 at 10:41 am #

          Why not blame the Bush family? They have been responsible for much ruin.

          • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 11:00 am #

            The Bush family, as we are still seeing today were RINOS, more concerned with the power of the Deep State than the people. They have a lot of company, like about 20% of the GOP folks in the primaries.

          • RD3 May 6, 2024 at 11:04 am #

            What do you mean by “RINO?” If you mean a warmongering, leftist globalist who pretends to oppose the Marxists, but always capitulates and adopts their position three years later, then that is just a Republican. That is the definition of a Republican. The republican Party has never conserved anything.

          • Cankerpuss May 6, 2024 at 11:07 am #

            George H W Bush was a huge proponent of the “New World Order” or one world government which we are now close to living under. The man was a traitor to America.

            George W Bush invaded sovereign nations that posed no threat to the USA without ever having an official declaration of war from the Congress. He was a traitor to America and the Constitution.

            Nobody cares.

          • RD3 May 6, 2024 at 11:13 am #

            Yes. The Bushes, both Connecticut Yankees, were/are traitors and war criminals and should be treated as such.

            RINO. Republican in name only.

            Democrats in sheep clothing because they cannot get elected without “R” behind their name.

            Bushes, Cheney, Flake, Mc Cain, McConnell, Ryan, just a start.

            For example, The Bushes were blatant Open border folks.

          • Jarek May 6, 2024 at 12:49 pm #

            Yes, it’s a silly moniker. The Republican Party is solidly Blob/Globalist. Money knows no borders or loyalty after all – except to the stockholders or stake holders as Schwab likes to put it.

          • Breck May 7, 2024 at 1:01 pm #

            People come on! Stand back and look at the forest not the trees. Whether it is Bush, or Reagan, or Hoover, or Wilson—those are just “front men”. You have to go at least one level deeper.

    • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 10:00 am #

      Look to history. Yugoslavia.

      It took localized fighting and UN sponsored peace keeping to keep it from blowing sky high.

      The US Deep State kow tows to the UN (and WEF) right now. How can it Balkanize when it funds much of the UN activity?

      A successful separation will take the states congealing and taking a strong hand against the Deep State, dissolving state and local judicial systems and replacing them, configuring their budgets with no federal input, maybe even creating their own money, detaching themselves from global and federal digital money system, not easy. IMHO, there will be more than two “combatants”, possibly as many as five.

      How can the Deep State preserve the Union? Any Lincolns out there, is Biden capable or his blob?

      One consideration, will the WEF and/or BRICS++ using the criminal elements here get involved and use the “civil war” to suppress USA dominance once and for all. Another BIG question is will the military put up with the Leftist drift of another Biden administration?

      Put on top, what happens if Trump wins along with control of the Congress, or if he wins without control?

      Lot and lots of variables.

      • DrTomSchmidt May 6, 2024 at 10:24 am #

        Please, no Lincolns. 650,000 dead Americans out of 31MM in 1860 would be, uh, 16.5 million dead today, give or take a few thousand.

        Omigod, John, you need to look at history.

        And by the way, the “trial” of Milosevic makes the lawfare attacks on Trump look tame.

        I recommend the book “Travesty” by John Loughland. It is an eye opener.
        Like with Trump, you have to wonder, how did this incredible convoluted travesty happen without worldwide press exposure?
        Is it possible that the “media” is simply a propaganda tool, and not an instrument of news and knowledge?

          No argument.

          In my belief system, whenever one person has a belief about anything, there is someone else that has the opposite belief.

          Power sharing keeps the decision making process in control.

          The method of power sharing falls apart and the battle begins.

          Until the crisis is resolved by one side destroying the other and imposing its belief system, the situation is unresolved.

          Hence my hard line belief system. Namby Pamby processing creates chaos and no solutions.

        Your right, JohnAZ, but, what you are saying will NEVER happen. Even today there is a movement to have a Convention of States, authorized under article 5 of the US Constitution and they can’t get enough states to come together to do even that.

        Too man variables, as you said. Too many opinions. Too many tribes. Too much political partisanship.

        There will be no separations. The system, one day, will just cease to function. The corruption and the inefficiencies will purge themselves and ultimately something new will rise and fill the vacuum. Will it be better? Who knows?

      From what I can glean from various news sources, Ukraine is on its last legs. I wonder how the end will play out, and how it will be presented to the American people? Now I’ve seen a few reports that French Foreign Legion formations are in country lending support to the Ukrainian army. That’s always a possibility, direct involvement by NATO member troops in direct combat with Russian infantry.

      • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 11:42 am #

        IMHO, the NATO group is a shell with the USA being number one.

        Europe and the USA cannot give up the share of oil resources that Russia represents.

        It is always oil! And soon to be Water.

        • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 11:43 am #

          I still wonder what the sending of arms to Ukraine and Israel has done to our required weapons inventory.

            They are only sending decades old equipment, as far as I know. They are dumping it there rather than destroying it here.

            But do we have new stuff? Probably. We have the F-35, for one.
            Too bad it can’t fly in the rain.

            It flies in the rain just fine.
            Seen it up close and personal.
            The paint works in the rain just as well.

          • Socrates-Detroit May 6, 2024 at 11:06 pm #

            @Paula I don’t know if the F-35 can fly in the rain. It does appear to be an overpriced POS.

            @benr You seem quite confident about the F-35. Besides seeing it up close, how do you know “it flies just fine?”

            Do you have some pertinent background perhaps?

            I know that when Congressman Matt Gaetz, FL-Rep, asked “what percent of F-35s are mission capable?”, the Secretary of the Air Force, and the Air Force Chief of Staff, replied that about 51% of the US F-35 fleet is “operationally available”.

            Is that “fine”?

            If you read what I wrote, you can see that the AF Secretary did NOT answer Gaetz question.

            When Gaetz responded that “last week, the AF General in charge of the F-35 program said 29% were mission capable, what changed?”, the Air Force Chief of Staff, a 4-star general, explained that 51% were “operationally capable”.

            “Then why did General Schmidt say 29% last week?”

            4-star: “That is the number that is fully mission capable, that can fly all missions”

            Gaetz: “So General, what percent of F-35s are ‘mission capable’ ”

            4-star: “I don’t have the exact number. If General Schmidt say 29%, 30%, I would say it is very close”.

            youtube.com/watch?v=UOzAZZV3rps

            This is pretty basic shit. It’s not complex.

            It’s complicated, because the truth is so awful. After so many years, ONLY 29% of the US F-35 fleet can fly all the missions it is supposed to do.

            And these people, the pinnacle of the Air Force/Pentagon, either don’t know, or are unwilling to publicly state for the record, the FMC rate. What a disgrace!

            If you paid $125,000 for a Lexus or a Mercedes or a Cadillac, and the good news was you could drive it–the engine, brakes and steering function (that’s really all you need), but the A/C and windows and stereo and seat adjustment did not, and the dealer and manufacturer could not give you a firm date when your new car might totally work, would you consider that “fine”?

            So, do you still think the F-35 is “fine”?

            As a taxpayer and veteran, I think it $hit.

            But, if I was a Lockheed Martin shareholder, or better yet, an employee, or if I was a civilian or a colonel working in the pentagon and being paid six figures or more out of funds budgeted for the F-35; or a lobbyist, then, hell yes, the F-35 if fine–it works$$$$$$ $EN$ATIONALLY!

            So, the F-35 performs EXACTLY as intended–it puts a lot of money in some people’s pockets, and everybody else pays for it.

            Most US weapons systems exhibit similar traits. The US military industrial complex is in the business of making money by making weapons.

            The US is drifting toward a hot war with Russia and/or China, perhaps both. When it happens, if the “antisemitism” law restricting speech hasn’t been twisted to shut down the internet, we will see how good the US military really is against a ‘peer competitor’.

          • Socrates-Detroit May 6, 2024 at 11:11 pm #

            @JohnAZ Sending weapons to the Ukraine has reached the point where the US really does not want to send more, as US military stocks are getting depleted.

            The US has been publicly, and behind the scenes, encouraging NATO countries to donate their weapons, and promising to replenish them later.

            The US has also been pushing VERY HARD for NATO countries that use Russian weapons for certain missions/functions (like the SS-300 air defense system, or Russian armored personnel carriers) to send those to Ukraine–and many NATO countries (former Soviet Bloc, as well as Greece) have done so. Since the Ukrainians use Soviet/Russian weapons, this is ideal.

            I have physically seen it fly in the rain.
            They fly around San Diego and Yuma all the time.
            As far as the rest of the systems flaws or expenses cutting edge fighting tech is always EXPENSIVE.
            There is bad press on every MIC system being peddled by various companies and even commercial stuff like Boeing.

            Speaking of which half the bad press and angles in my guess are competitors angling for the next round of funding for the up coming sixth gen fighter jet and utility belt support aircraft.
            Everyone hates the biggest company and right now the LM is the largest producer of military hardware in the world.

            They are only sending decades old equipment, as far as I know. They are dumping it there rather than destroying it here.-PAULA

            Half the gear the military uses is at least several decades old it takes that long to make it through the various pipelines.

            Turns out the F-35 can fly in the rain, and has been able to for a couple of weeks now.

            I still don’t believe the whole “The US has emptied out its military arsenal to send to plucky little Ukraine” trope.
            That’s just another psy op, in my opinion. I think we probably have enough weapons stockpiled to take out several small defenseless countries.

          I, for one, saw YouTube videos back then in which some of the soldiers attacking Donetsk had definite American accents. (Maybe Canadian, but one of the two.)

          No doubt in my mind that the HIMARRS attacks on Russian civilians are by Americans operating the systems.

          The difference is that they are now talking about openly sending troops.

        Hamas does not have the means to commit genocide.

        Israel DOES have the means to commit genocide and is attempting to do just that.

        The objective is to expel the Palestinian Untermensch from Gaza, or better yet, get the Palestinians to leave of their “own free will”, by killing some of them, and making Gaza uninhabitable for the survivors.

        There is no real deterrent to Israeli actions (in this situation, at this time). The only impediment is public opinion–inside Israel itself, most importantly in the US, but also in other countries. It’s not very credible deterrent.

        OG got it right. Unfortunately. We will see if the Israelis succeed.

          Hamas wants to murder all Israelis but can’t and that is an excuse for breaking a ceasefire.

          Well, they can’t actually do it so its ok for them to murder, rape and pillage across a civilian population.
          There should be no response because it’s against international law you see.
          They should be allowed to poach young girls rape them abuse them in every way and then murder them because well Israel has no right to exist.

          Meanwhile idiots say collective punishment is against the law and about the five Americans that have been thrown in a dark hole somewhere is that not the definition of collective punishment?

          So, anything Palestinians do is OK because well they are oppressed which falls right back into the Marxist pablum of oppressed and oppressor.

          This is why I wish they would just settle this damn dispute already so it doesn’t come down to something stupid… I Don’t care who started what first, Israel or Hamas. They need to sort this nonsense out, the rest of the world isn’t responsible for this conflict.

          But the Samson option just means they’ll gladly fuck the entire world over all because they can’t resolve the problem intelligently among themselves and their neighbors.I think a lot of people don’t take much of it seriously, they don’t think anyone will use nukes. But all it takes is for someone to get desperate enough to do so. So far the entire Middle East hasn’t chosen to gang up on Israel, they won’t even bother to do it as long as the U.S. is protecting them.

            None because the US government long ago stopped using any tech from Israel that could have backdoors.
            Right down to even encryption software used on Government laptops.

            @TS1986

            Regarding “back doors” to the US….

            Why is Jonathan Pollard often referred to as the most damaging spy ever?

            He worked for Israel, not the USSR.

            I personally do not really know why Pollard was so dangerous.

            But I’ve read, and I believe it, that George Tenet, CIA director, had threatened to resign if Pollard was released from prison. (Pollard had a life sentence, but eventually he WAS released. All our Zionist friends will be please to know he is free today, living in Israel).

            From military.com

            When Jonathan Pollard was convicted of espionage in 1987, he became the first American to go to jail for life for passing secrets to a U.S. ally. The top-secret information Pollard passed on to Israel is so vast and damaging, the complete list of files is itself top secret. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

            There are few things both liberals and conservatives agree on these days, but keeping Pollard in prison for the rest of his life was one of them. Yet, he was released in 2015 and quickly made his way to Israel — where he received a hero’s welcome.

            So, the “evil Obama”, whom Netenyahu humilitiated while addressing a joint session of Congress, freed this vile rodent, who really should have served 30 years in prison and then been executed.

    I’ll tell you exactly how this all happened. Money.

    See, I watched the American people shut down my business and demand that I be denied medical care and thrown in a concentration camp in exchange for a $600 check and some free Dunkin Donuts.

    Haven’t you noticed that the public officials prosecuting Trump somehow have millions if not tens of millions of dollars in their bank accounts? If the likes of Chomsky would choose to deny me food because some crisis actors dressed up as nurses and posted videos on TikTok, imagine what they’d dual passport holders would do for millions.

        Anyone without a solid footing is ample ground for the flourishing of much fungus. The mob is everywhere and nowhere. The fall of the republic in Star Wars happens to be quite the anecdote to what we see unfolding before our eyes.

        Virtually every element is in parallel:

        -Corruption of the banks.

        -Corruption of the senate.

        -Crescendo of total war.

        -Sinister cabal with bottomless well of influence.

        -Core segment of population that feeds on fear; that defers their own fear by projecting it on others. Once realized, this behavior becomes mass forming. The mob rises.

        In both situations, the enemy has infiltrated and controls the opposition to drive the solution.

        A very Satan-like strategy. It prevails even upon fantasy-fiction. When one’s eyes are open, it can be seen everywhere. The warnings are blaring like the klaxon over a hull breech. Seal the blast doors now. Save the ship. It is not for the vessel itself, but for what it contains.

      Money is their god. And if you are a business owner, it may well be yours as well. It’s all most people really care about. People rave about the rich, but desperately want to be one of them.

      You at least took steps to become one of the rich by offering a service. As opposed to just trying to tear other people down and take their stuff.

      If you eschew the dream of vast wealth and just want to be independent, that is far better still.

        • Anthea May 7, 2024 at 11:14 am #

          You have to remember what money is: It is a future claim against the labor of others. If you have five bucks, that means that, at some future time of your choosing, you have a claim against five bucks’ worth of labor from others. You might redeem this claim by exchanging it for a cup of coffee, or for a sack of potatoes. Or you might save it or invest it.

          So, extrapolating from there, if you have billions of dollars, you have an immense claim on the labor of many other people.

          Money is really a little piece of paper (or some pixels on a screen) conferring the right to others’ labor. Where the arrangement is involuntary, it is a relationship of slavery.

          Where the relationship is voluntary, money is a kind of utility or bookkeeping mechanism. It actually makes your labor more valuable, by making it fungible. (I think I’m using the word “fungible” correctly here.) E.g., if you grow a bushel of tomatoes, you can’t readily exchange it for a pot roast and fixin’s, but if you convert it to money, you can use it to buy just about anything you want: gasoline, new tires, a pedicure, a few bottles of wine, a pair of shoes, a restaurant dinner, etc.

        I first noticed JHK in 2008 when he was on a news program talking about the need for RRs to offset the effects of peak oil.

        IMHO, high speed passenger rail, separate from the freight side, is a definite need to offset very dangerous sky’s that exist now.

        Private sector only though. Connections between high density areas, eg LA to Vegas, LA to San Francisco, Houston to Dallas. Miami to Orlando, or DC to Boston should be the first attempts with fill in routes as the technology proves itself.

        If it does? No government involvement as that will quadruple the cost.

          “Latvian state railways are asking to be exempted from sanctions to able to buy parts from Russia and Belarus for their trains.

          The ironic thing here is most regional and commuter passenger trains in the USSR were made in the Latvian SSR, at the legendary RVR factory.
          These trains were the backbone of Soviet urban networks, exported all over the communist bloc and still heavily used by post soviet countries, Latvia included.
          After independence, Latvia was quick to privatize and dismantle the plant, and now they can’t even repair the trains they used to build.”

          From my experience (I have a degree in Transportation Engineering) there are two problems with building/running High Speed mass transit in the US. One is the low population density outside major urban areas, the other is the structure of local, state and federal government, in particular planning and zoning laws.

          If you look at places where HS transit is actually implemented, like the UK, France or China, those countries don’t have those peksy zoning and planning laws or such low population density as the US. They just layout the most efficient routes possible and go ahead and build them. The other thing they don’t have are governments controlled by representatives funded by lobbyists.

          Back in the late 70’s, I served on a committee which was analyzing high speed rail for Ohio. The cost came to over $4 Billion and would take 15 – 20 years to complete. It was the largest public works project ever proposed in the US. They were promoting a bond issue as a quicker cheaper alternative connections between city access centers. My advice was that a lot of future travel would be replaced by better telecommunications like video conferencing and even shopping. They laughed at my ideas. The bond issue eventually went down in flames and guess who’s still laughing…

    • MiTurn May 6, 2024 at 9:48 am #

      Build a better nation from the scraps of the current one. Be proactive, not reactive, and prepare now. Like-minded states need to develop and employ an alternative currency that is legal tender only in those states (this is legal btw), in order to preserve as much of their industries and farmers as possible.

      Try to control the flow of events through thoughtful anticipation. Think of it as planning for the inevitable divorce. What once was is no longer; can’t bring it back; so move on, with due diligence.

      Protect what you got, monitor your borders, and build a military from your own citizens.

      But to wait and hope for the best means to be a victim of circumstances. Think of it as an insurance policy. You put money into it, all the while hoping you never need to use it. But you’re very glad it’s there when you do need it!

        Because California is so populous, it effectively controls regulations related to a wide variety of goods and services. Cars and appliances have to be built to California environmental standards, etc. This is part of the reason everything is so overly expensive. Texas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, etc. should band together in a “Red State Alliance” and refuse to allow items built to California standards to be sold in their states. Force the manufacturers to build products without the preposterous regulations that California places on them. This could be a first step towards driving a wedge between Red and Blue states.

        • Anthea May 8, 2024 at 7:38 am #

          @ RD3:

          Thank you for this information. I didn’t know that many of these regulation originate in California. I think there are many more that originate with the federal government, which also should be elimated.

          There is no reason why we can’t have affordable cars in the US–as I have read are available in other countries. I think many people would be happy to buy a car about like a 1955 Chevy, with no “bells and whistles” but a radio. (I could do without the radio.) Even the 1955 Chevy had a heater.

        The military, before the MIC, was based on state militias. WW1 was manned with local and state militias. WW2 changed it. Amendment 2 is based on militia control of the military.

        States were very concerned about federal control of the military, hence the emphasis on state militias. The Civil War units were state based.

          Interesting concept. My son bought a clutch of them as a novelty, so I’ve seen them. They could be the model for a new currency, but I doubt if the company manufacturing these specifically could produce enough if needed. But who knows.

          But the very fact that they exist, and that states have made them legal tender, shows that many are thinking the same thoughts. This is the world we live in right now.

    Rather than comment on the article’s theme, may I ask folks to consider HOW we discuss these issues? Specifically, the term “the Left”… which, I’d contend, does not even exist in America. I see references to the MSM Press and the Democratic Party as being “the Left”…yikes! The Press in America is owned by 5 groups of Billionaires (notorious Bolsheviks). Further, the 5 are Comcast and 4 Right wing families (Murdochs, Luces, Disneys and Redstones). Every war since WW2 has started with a US government Lie, which the press amplified, disseminated, but, most importantly, made sure all public discussion (editorial pages, TV political discussions [e.g. “Face the Nation”]) of the lie’s truth or relevance would be tightly controlled:Only a known stable of sychophantic catamites of the Rich are allowed to participate. This “liberal press” also famously buried Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign! But alluding to the DNC as “the Left” is, possibly, worse! A group of insider-trading millionaires, sending Billions of taxpayer dollars to a pair of fascist nations, funding Genocide, killing all attempts at Health Care reform, over-funding the War Department (sorry, “defense”…ha!)…howTF is this, in any way, “Left”? The terms come from the 1780’s French Senate…the only issue was income, high Gini coefficient or more equality… no Gun Control, Abortion access or gender confusion. Oh yeah…”communism” has a real meaning, too!

HowTF does Congress let Billionaires pay lower income tax rates than working people? Fox news endorsed the Iraq War, echoing back all the Bush administration garbage…howTF is that “Left”?

      • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 10:35 am #

        The Left moniker came from France. Their national legislature was divided with the rebellious groups on the Left side.

        The Left today is the liberal group, liberal being those that think that the answer to problems is to change something, anything. To be able to do that they must have control of the society, hence socialism. To control they must propagandize. Hence their drive to control the media. A capitalistic society is an anathema to them, not enough control. To make the changes they desire, tax and spend is the answer to everything.

        So the Left is the side of control, socialism, manipulation and the enemy of individual rights and responsibility.

        The Left is also self fulfilling, as the socialism grows and starts shaping the populace under its control, the people’s mindset becomes more dependent. The snowball grows quickly.

        BTW, the BIG CHANGE in the USA was the Great Depression and WW2, where we changed from a right to center nation to a Leftist leaning nation to answer all those problems then. Eisenhower fought the MIC, left us with warnings about it, JFK tried to control the MIC and failed. The newly minted infant Deep State took care of business, then again with Nixon.

    That is the operative phrase, late in the game…..

    As 20,000 new apartments are being built in my formerly mid-size Alabama town, it is hard to feel that collapse is imminent. Awash in gobs of money for real estate investing, we know something wicked this way comes but like belief in the Second Coming, the hour is unknown. For the last 4 years I have considered that the best preparation for collapse is spending the retirement money that is supposed to carry me into a nursing home in my late 80’s. Probably not prudent but I long ago forswore 40 acres and a mule on a self-sufficient farm.

    So, forming a community of some size is the only option. To achieve that requires in my mind an independent monetary system. Call it neighborhood bucks or something grander. The future of digital currency is coming. Gold may have a greater value but would be in danger of being irrelevant. No system of being able to utilize it would make it only a barter item. Food coops with alternative payment systems are required for freedom. If you don’t want to have to do what you’re told, you will need monetary/food independence.

    My small revolutionary act is to force the acceptance of cash. I am no lawyer but if you offer to pay for a good in legal money (and it is not accepted) then the debt is considered paid. So if a credit card transaction is required which is more and more common these days, then an act of protest is to pay in cash. If it is not accepted then leave the payment and walk out with the goods. Do you think you will be arrested for paying in cash? When everything becomes pay in advance this will become more difficult but to protest the cashless society is important. Remember you are not paying with a credit card, you are asking permission to pay…..

    • RD3 May 6, 2024 at 10:27 am #

      The note at the bottom of the dollar bill reads: “Legal Tender for All Debts, Public and Private”

      In your scenario, the merchant should be arrested for refusing cash. If a large company refuses to allow you to pay in cash, say for a cable or cell phone bill, the CEO should be led away in handcuffs.

Perhaps they don’t want to make change for a $2.79 cup of coffee but if you had a mind to be ornery, you could consider buying 3 lattes for $16, offering the $50, and then walking out with the goods when they refused payment. Could be aggravating paying a lawyer to fight Starbucks though if you were arrested…..

        That si why they are being built.

        Every time I see a new complex being built, it reminds me of all the movies about the Soviet Union during the Cold War, all those dreary, run down apartment complexes they had.

      • BackRowHeckler May 6, 2024 at 11:52 am #

        Around these parts they’re filling up with Chinese and South Asian immigrants. They’re only one bedroom apartments, but you can pack a lot of Chinese and Indians ‘Newcomers’ into a one bedroom apartment.

        • RD3 May 6, 2024 at 12:02 pm #

          Years ago I rented an ice shanty in Northern Michigan for a long weekend. There were six of us in the shanty and it was tight. I would never try to pack more than 4 in there again. The owner told me that the winter before Chinese guys rented the shanty for a weekend and 19 of them slept in it. No lie.

          @Cankerpuss

          I haven’t seen Tongan and Samoan gangs since the 1990s…I remember how they use to be all over the neighborhood I lived in back then. I even knew a few of them and went to school with some. They weren’t all in gangs but a lot of them were.

          • Beryl of Oyl May 6, 2024 at 1:48 pm #

            Big enough to constitute a gang all by themselves.

          • Cankerpuss May 6, 2024 at 4:26 pm #

            They are rampant in northern Utah. Always in the news and 50% of the time one of those in the new store is named “Sione” which, I believe, is Samoan for “Zion.”

            I don’t consider myself to be a racist individual. I try really hard to treat everyone the way I wish to be treated, with respect and dignity. But I admit I have a hard time with polynesians. They are rude. Loud. Boisterous. They won’t move for me in the grocery store aisle. They are usually morbidly obese or huge people. Their children run amok while the parents ignore them. It’s a different culture to say the least. I wish they would stay in the Pacific islands where they and their culture are best suited.

    JHK: The epic failure of these mighty efforts, and the humiliation entailed, has lately driven this vast bureaucratic cabal — collectively styled as “the blob” — to a stage of abject desperation that looks a lot like insanity.

    “ insanity defined legally is a mental state leading to a diminished capacity to understand the consequences of their actions.”

    A Columbian judge places a gag order on a candidate for President. A Cuban allows the Southern boarder to remain wide open for a continuing invasion of the USA.

    The psychopathy of this cabal that created this unprecedented circumstance is now angling for the ultimate legal defense?

    “Most of my old ex-friends are riding the same ideological bus. You have to wonder: how did the likes of “Joe Biden,” Merrick Garland, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Christopher Wray, Fani Willis, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, and Bill Gates become their heroes? ”

    Rhetorical question? It took a while to figure out, but it isn’t Trump they hate. It’s people like me who do not bow before them. They came for me with fangs bared when I refused their magic shot. That’s when it all made sense. Everything they’ve done since, and everything they’d done for a long time before, was of the same vein. They hate us. They want us gone. Perhaps because we have the one thing they will never have, which is to say, a soul.

        Deuteronomy 20:16

        This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. 16However, in the cities of the nations that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not leave alive anything that breathes. 17For you must devote them to complete destruction—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you,…

        • Watcher May 6, 2024 at 2:39 pm #

          Agree or disagree, the bible does offer more clarity on the problem illustrated.

          There is a supernatural element to the equation that is explored and recalled all over the Old Testament. The central questions at hand:

          Who are the benei’ elohim in Genesis 6? What did they do that precipitated the flood? Why were the people groups listed above linked to the nephilim, anakim, and rephaim?

          The other ancient texts tell the same general tale. That gods from the sky came down and mingled with humanity, creating hybrid groups. There are versions of this in dozens of cultures. Sky serpents. Anunaki. Gregori. Watchers. Sons of god. Angels.

          It is too ubiquitous to be random. In most of these stories these supernatural beings are portrayed as the good guys. The bible takes the other path. It takes up the position as the polemic.

          Something else interesting. Most cultures of the world also believe there were real giants. Hostile. They were many accounts of them being consumed along with their livestock by these things.

          This is open source information. Native American tribes witnessed it. Bone discoveries were reported all over the United States in the last two centuries. Bones have been reported all over the world, especially in parts of Europe, Mediterranean islands, Pacific Islands, and the American continents.

          The bottom line is that the story outlines a far larger picture than the simple, “Group A will extinguish Groups B,C,D,E, and F because…it is commanded.” The story is paralleled in the ancient world many times over and persists in oral tradition with native cultures today.

          Take it for what it is. Hard evidence will never be found in the time when it would make a difference. Evil never disappoints with the ability to conceal within the hem of its adversary’s robe.

          If one discounts the supernatural, then the world will make little sense without the narrative provided by the cabal. This is why so many cannot escape its grasp.

          • Cankerpuss May 6, 2024 at 4:55 pm #

            “That gods from the sky came down and mingled with humanity, creating hybrid groups.”

            Now you are getting into ancient aliens and all that kind of stuff.

            The prophet Elijah was taken from the Earth in a “chariot of fire.”

            What the hell was the Ark of the Covenant? A weapon of powerful alien technology?

            How was Christ conceived without the DNA of a father? Perhaps Mary was a higher being, an alien.

            How did Christ work the miracles he did? Alien technology?

            The question does beg to be discussed.

          Pick and choose verses to make your point at your own peril. See Pascal’s Wager.
          Furthermore, the state of Israel is a secular state, not religious.
          What would be your response if cartels from Mexico rolled into El Paso, killing and kidnapping claiming “their land” was stolen from them and that justifies their violence?

            Not so. The Church never accepted the Zionist claims. And most Jews didn’t used to, but they were seduced by the idea of having their own nation. Can’t blame them of course since conscious Whites want the same thing. But it is not the Israel of God according to many rabbis.

    …..Why do the non-governmental elites of this land, the managerial and thinking classes, the college presidents, the cable news producers, the corporate execs, the movie directors, the whole arts establishment. . . why do they feel compelled, for nearly a decade now, to hitch their identity and their self-respect to this fantastic train of Kafka-esque corruption, tyranny, and abuse? How did they get owned by the blob? – JHK

    Comes down to the will to power. Some think that because of wealth, family, or knowledge, their supposed superiority entitles them to make the decisions for all.

    I think much of it can be traced back to Antonio Gramsci and the promulgation of his ideas in higher education.

    Gramsci realized the failures of Marx and Lennin; he suggested that obedience is better won from a willing partner than from a beaten and tortured subject. To achieve this obedience, he suggested that Communists must spend generations remaking society, taking away traditional touchstones of religion, family, and country. Only then would communism be able to step into the breach and proffer the “salvation” of hopeless men and women.

    So, all around, you see the fruits of this effort. Society is ravaged by a rejection of traditional values and the consequences of this rejection: lack of personal discipline and responsibility, addiction, moral decay, poverty, an uneducated and ill-informed citizenry. The bright line between good and bad now difficult to discern for a stunted populace. And, while this insidious process has unfolded over decades (and accelerated exponentially in the last few years), the unwitting pawns of the progressive movement, unknowingly follow the blueprint laid out by a frustrated Marxist written in an Italian prison during WWII – thereby sowing the seeds of their own destruction. The denouement is nigh, time to pick a side.

    I am wondering how the blob will survive after the US Corporation economy collapses, which is happening now. E.G. The federal reserve just reported that it had $948Billion in losses with capital of $51billion; that’s a 19X insolvency. The Ludwig Institute has reported that the real unemployment rate (as measured during the Reagan years, before ‘adjustments’) is 24.2%. Finally, in April, the labor dept is reporting that 43% of small businesses were unable to make their rent payment. This is a slow collapse of the USCorp economy, in YO FACE!!!

    • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 10:48 am #

    “Most of my old ex-friends are riding the same ideological bus…”

    Me too. Like many I always thought we were on the same bus – the one about freedom.

    I have discovered sadly, like many during Covid, that many of these friends and I are not aligned ideologically. In fact, I found they lacked an ideology that wasn’t some concoction delivered to them by MSM.

    The worst were the teacher friends.

    Trying to get them to explain where they stood resulted in explanations of mangled logic. I could see they weren’t just lacking an ideology they were willfully stupid and ignorant.

    I realized that in order to exist in their world they had to be that way. In fact, it was a question of safety. The real world is too scary because it means one might have to take responsibility. It is simply easier and safer to pretend nothing abnormal is going on and let other people do the thinking.

      People went to war twice in this country to try to stop the socialists from destroying the world. The USA tried to stop the socialists during the Cold War. Is it worth fighting for, millions have thought so.

Not that I would care if they ever did, because they did, after all, try to poison everybody by forcing that “vaccine” on everybody, and only SCOTUS justices appointed by Republican presidents stopped them.

    Two Israeli items.

    1. Biden has cut off the arms to Israel as they prepare to clean out Ratha. Bibis reaction is that they will take care of business by themselves if necessary. IMHO, Biden will rescind. The MIC will rebel. BTW, Israel is trying to move the civilians out of the region before the offensive.

    2. Money tracing is showing that high level Biden contributors are supporting the student “protests”. It is reported that Soros supported the agitators to the tune of $7000 to set everything up.

    Evolution:

    To: “The system is working exactly as intended. It must be destroyed.”

    • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 12:18 pm #

      Wow, OG, I sat back and thought on that for a moment.

      I think you are right.

      The first indicates accidental chaotic process that must be fixed, the second the intentional corruption of the system in the pursuit of power.

      That choice always ends up in bloody destruction.

      It also supports the crisis development of the Fourth Turning, that destruction of one side causing the crisis must be accomplished to move into the New first turning.

            That is an interesting line of thought.

            ***
            I, personally, believe that God could wipeout most of mankind but then, later, send His son to save the survivors’ descendants. It could be the same God but that’s just me.

          • Cankerpuss May 6, 2024 at 4:36 pm #

            OG, God did wipe out humanity in the great flood. How many millions or billions were drowned, not including the animal life.

            Did God command the Israelites to wipe out the Caananites? you bet God did. The Caananites were idol worshipers and practiced human sacrifice.

            After the Israelites worshiped the golden calf God commanded Moses and his men to kill those who were unrepentant. Thousands of Gods “chosen” people perished and the rest were doomed to wander in the desert for 40 years.

            Moses smacked a rock instead of speaking to it and was forbidden to enter the “promised land” after 40+ years of working to get the people there.

            I don’t believe God to be a benevolent loving old grandfather like many churches teach him to be (including the church I have limited contact with).

            God says himself in the Bible that he is a jealous God. God breathes out threats of violence against the wicked and those who mock him. Christ himself spoke horrific words regarding mill stones and oceans when referring to those who harm children.

            I do believe that God is a JUST God and that God cannot deny the laws of justice. Just as in Old Testament times, God will eventually be required to answer the demands of justice and bring peace back to a ruined world. Hence the second coming of one Jesus Christ and something about the wicked being turned into stubble.

            God gets pissed and that means he or it ain’t always kind and sweet.

          • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 9:47 pm #

            God creates and destroys, He is God. We hold God to human attributes, a huge mistake. We define good and evil by our standards, not God’s.

            God creates, humans turn evil, God destroys, but gives man a second chance, man corrupts again and two cities are nuked. Man thinks he is God and builds a tower, God diversifies Man with language, He tries to grow a people with Abram, loves Abram for his faith, allows the growth of the Hebrew tribe in Canaan, then they pack their bags and move to Egypt with Joseph. God sends them into slavery then again tries to rescue them with Moses after 400 years. They refuse to follow God’s word to immediately invade Canaan and end up wandering the desert for 40 years as punishment to make sure the original generation is dead, including Moses. The Golden Calf did not help much here either. God’s instruction to Joshua was to kill 100% of the resident Canaanites to remove counter religions to Himself. Joshua did not do it. The Hebrews spent long times fighting the Natives, eventually going through a period of Kings that split the group, ten tribes to the north and two to the south. The northern believed God resided there and the south believed that God resided in the Temple in Jerusalem. The people wandered to idol worship and eventually God said it was enough, and drove the northern then the southern folks into exile.

            Eventually, Jerusalem was raised up again after God allowed it to be

            To be continued.

          • Blackbird May 6, 2024 at 10:02 pm #

            God being jealous, God punishing, is – in my opinion – applying human attributes to God.

          • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 10:02 pm #

            Cont’d

            Generations of Prophets kept telling the Hebrews to stay faithful to God, but oh no, man corrupts inevitably. God says through His prophets that His messenger was coming, 700 years before Jesus was born.

            Jesus, God’s messenger on earth, sacrificed to give grace to BELIEVERS.

            Revelation ends the story in the Bible as a prophesy for the future, that man is inevitably evil and God’s final judgement is going to remove the human contagion from the earth and the faithful will dwell wit God in the New Jerusalem.

            Black bird, do not try to judge what the character of God is, we are His people and will be judged by Him. God is God and is Word is paramount.

          • Uncle Bob May 6, 2024 at 11:05 pm #

            Cankerpuss, the story of Moses being barred from the Promised Land is a bit more complicated than his just striking a rock instead of telling the rock to issue forth water. He also said to Israel, “Have *we* not brought you out of Egypt and through the wilderness?”. In that comment, made in his frustration with Israel, he elevated himself to God’s level, which is a big no-no.

            I think you have a point about the future. Church members can’t wait for Jesus’ return because they imagine everything will be wonderful. I think they overlook that there will be billions of dead people to bury, cities to rebuild, farms to plant, etc. They also fail to realize that their own sinful behavior will be punished right along with everyone else’s, so things they got away with for decades will suddenly result in instant punishment. I’m not defending sin, just pointing out the foolishness of people who think they’re about to realize windfalls of money, power, and ” winning” when the reality is darker and more difficult than they realize.

          • Anthea May 8, 2024 at 8:34 am #

            God’s “punishments” are really just cause-and-effect. Sin is self-harm. When God tells people not to commit sin, he’s basically advising them not to jump off a cliff. If people go and jump off a cliff anyway and get badly injured or killed, calling the death or injury “God’s punishment” is an incorrect way of looking at the thing.

            There’s some scripture somewhere that says, “I lay before you life and death. Choose life.”

            Where we see sin “punished,” what we’re really seeing is that people have “chosen death” or some other evil outcome.

    • JohnAZ May 7, 2024 at 1:35 am #

      Uncle Bob

      Revelation 21 ends up with a “rebirth” of the world called New Jerusalem. the earth will be transformed and God will come down and live with Man like in the Garden of Eden.

      I do not have a clue what that will entail, but man will have to go along with it. It will probably be an existence that we do not comprehend now. Death will be eliminated and Hades, the devil and the beast will be cast into the lake of fire along with most of humanity.

      Well, well, OG. We can agree on something. The Biden administration is the most inept presidency in history. There is not a single thing that they have used intelligence, logic or science to decide anything. Including the money to Ukraine AND Israel, not money weapons. Israel does not need our weapons or money. Besides, what money? We have not a clue what money is any more.

      Israel knows what a paper tiger the US is, Bibi just thumbed his nose at Biden a saying they will take care of business on their own. The US is being scorned by one of its biggest allies.

They’re intentionally doing what they’re doing to cut America down to size while warping our politics, faith, and culture so that we’ll become what we were never intended to be: just another country of crooked, evil men ruling over other men. Because of our importance to the rest of the world, every other nation will follow our lead to the depths of Hell (for example, legalizing baby butchery and screeching about inhumanity if anyone objects to the carnage).

    MIT threw out it’s diversity pledge in hiring.

    “The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will no longer require prospective hires to pledge allegiance to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion as an employment condition, becoming the first elite university in the country to do away with the controversial practice denounced by free speech advocates as a “political litmus test.”

    “Requests for a statement on diversity will no longer be part of applications for any faculty positions at MIT,” a university spokesperson told The Post in an emailed statement, noting that the decision was made by MIT president Sally Kornbluth along with the support of the provost, chancellor and all six academic deans.

    “My goals are to tap into the full scope of human talent, to bring the very best to MIT, and to make sure they thrive once here,” Kornbluth said. “We can build an inclusive environment in many ways, but compelled statements impinge on freedom of expression, and they don’t work.”

    HR 6090

    Are you aware of HR 6090? It’s worrisome for those of us that love freedom.

    Congressman Thomas Massie [R-KY] explains his losing “No” vote:

    Do you agree with all of these examples of antisemitism? Should people in America be prosecuted for saying these things in all contexts? I think not. This is a poorly conceived unconstitutional bill and I will vote no.

    The complete list of examples of antisemitism being used by HR 6090 can be found here:

    holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism

    Right off the hop, the first one’s cool but the second one:

    Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.

    You see how that is a potential problem, right? You see: if they ever did “control the media, economy, government or other societal institutions” or, God forbid, conspire we’d have absolutely no redress. We couldn’t even talk about it!

    I’m not saying that it is the truth but I am saying that it could be the truth. It is possible, right? Some day.

    To pass a bill outlawing speech that could conceivably be true is tyranny by definition.

    It now heads to the Senate.

        Oh look Hamas blinked!
        The cowards knew they were done.
        Might be to little to late the operation is on and why not wipe out Hamas and then Fatah?

        oann.com/newsroom/hamas-accepts-egypt-qatar-ceasefire-proposal-israel-yet-to-respond/

        Hamas announced in a statement on Monday that it had agreed to Egypt and Qatar’s request for a ceasefire proposal in Gaza. In a statement, the terrorist group announced that its leader, Ismail Haniyeh, had notified Egypt’s intelligence head and the prime minister of Qatar that their plan had been accepted.

        Hours after Israel ordered Palestinians to evacuate portions of the region, U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly attempted to exert pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so that he would postpone his planned military action in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

        Biden reaffirmed his “clear position on Rafah,” according to the White House, which is that Israel should not move forward with an invasion plan until it demonstrates how to safeguard hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians there.

        The Israeli evacuation order was issued when Cairo negotiations relating to how to achieve a ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages broke down. Israel had offered a truce that would have lasted several weeks, while Hamas insisted on an immediate stop to the conflict.

        Seven months after Hamas massacred 1,200 people in southern Israel on October 7th and kidnapped at least 252 hostages, the evacuation order raised worries of a full-scale assault against Hamas holdouts in Rafah, which could end up killing other innocent civilians nearby.

        “President Biden updated the prime minister on efforts to secure a hostage deal, including through ongoing talks today in Doha, Qatar. The Prime Minister agreed to ensure the Kerem Shalom crossing is open for humanitarian assistance for those in need,” the White House announced.

        “The Kerem Shalom crossing is located in southern Gaza near Rafah,” according to Israelhayom.com

        The proposal’s details were not immediately released.

        • OG May 6, 2024 at 2:37 pm #

          Hamas are assholes if they do not accept peace but they “blinked” if they do accept peace.

          • JohnAZ May 7, 2024 at 1:43 am #

            Hamas knows its ass is in the wringer. They will not give up those hostages until their survival is guaranteed. If Israel knew the hostages were dead, this war would be over in a week. Rajah is the end for Hamas, no more tunnels, no more missile and rocket launchers no more rapists and murderers.

            Israel will not agree to a ceasefire until the hostages are released.

            Impasse.

          • benr May 7, 2024 at 9:34 am #

            It was reported Hamas still has 130 hostages but says it can only account for a fraction of them.

            Hamas has also admitted it has starved a few of them to death.

            The meaning here is they murdered them.

            Mark Levin says there is video from the peace concert of all the kids Hamas murdered, raped and mutilated.
            Showing very clearly teenagers shot in the back.
            Hands and feet cut off while still alive some pretty gruesome stuff and he is trying to work through the red tape to release it.

            The hands and feet cut off is one of the sharia law punishments hands and feet cut off on opposite sides.

            They can swim into the very Sea they chant about pushing Israel into.

            Hundreds of thousands of people who have been chanting death to Israel for years are suddenly finding out what its like to look that fate straight in the face.

      Love your neighbor as yourself. You have to love yourself first in order to really do that. Do White loves themselves as a group? Or is liberalism just a disease? I say the latter.

      Israel doesn’t have this problem. They love themselves first and foremost – or is it only? In any case, we have much to learn from them about being healthy. If we were to return to health, they couldn’t oppress us any more.

      Morality and moral question are for the living, those that love themselves. You show very little interest in that love, but rather an unhealthy preoccupation with “moral” issues anent other peoples.

        Jarek, I love your comment. It is absolutely essential that we love ourselves and who we are. For self hatred ends poorly for all who engage in such behavior.

        God didn’t say “Love they neighbor and hate thyself.” Christ was admonishing all to love their neighbors AND to love themselves.

        I usually find your comments odd but enlightening but I really enjoyed this comment today.

          I guess I’m supposed to talk about how lovable I am and attempt to make myself lovable to others.

            No. That’s not what Christ said – and it’s not how people develop as per the findings of Maslow, Kohlberg, et al.

            Love starts with the self, extends to the mother, then the father, then siblings (hopefully!) and then outward from there.

            If you worship yourself you are your own g-o-d [ rulemaker ]. You obey your own rules. You do what you want to do. You can do not wrong. You do not judge [ examine ] yourself. You do not condemn your own sins, you justify them [ any way you must ].

            In the world right now, who is Right, who owns the Truth. The Jews because they are the chosen people, the USA, Russia because they are defending their ethics in Ukraine, China to free the Taiwanese people, Iran to get the Big and Little Satan?

            God will judge each soul individually on Judgement Day. My understanding is that He will be less interested in your passport than in your words and in your deeds. In what you have done and in what you have failed to do.

            Hint: Calling 35,000+ innocent civilians slaughtered “a drop in the bucket” won’t go over well.

          “God didn’t say “Love they neighbor and hate thyself.” Christ was admonishing all to love their neighbors AND to love themselves.”

          “As” you love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t love your neighbor. Who do you know that are intent on destroying their neighbors? We’ve been discussing them for years.

            As you love yourself. That’s a very, very high standard. You can’t just “jump” into it. If you pretend to do so, it’s just an ideology. The White Liberals pretended to love the Blacks. But they had no problem putting the “newcomers” ahead of them. So was it real? Of course not.

            Israelis don’t try much. Or they do, but amongst themselves. Neighbors as in other Israelis. The Palis? “Not our neighbors.” But at least they love themselves. Do Whites? White liberals love other White liberals I think – as long as they tout the party line. Deviate and you’re out.

      This economist (Jared Berenstein) was asked a stupid question about MMT (Modern Monetary Theory) and being an economist could only give an incoherent answer to an incoherent ideology.

      Actually Berenstein should have just got angry and told her to shove it up her butt. He was just being polite which came across as confused.

      The entire construct of MMT (deficits don’t matter) is a typically insane Marxist concept. The interviewer who posed the question was one of the authors of the “documentary” Finding The Money which is all about MMT and other Marxist stupidity being taught on a campus near you.

        • benr May 7, 2024 at 10:03 am #

          Saying there where 35,000 people killed by Israel is using numbers supplied BY HAMAS.
          This seems rather low when compared to how closely packed Palestinians are to each other.
          All that shoddy construction and poorly maintained buildings.
          Maybe this is another build back better project in action?

          Better cities, better humans, new and improved with the added benefit of being green.

          Thats like believing the numbers from Israel its self-serving and PROPAGANDA.

          Israel claims it has killed 13,000 Hamas fighters.
          Does this mean every kid that hurls a stone back is now a Hamas fighter? How does a shit ass terror group get 13,000 followers? This with only 236 Israeli soldiers killed.

          It has been well reported they murder each other over grudges and slights every day.
          The dead only matter if it can be blamed on Israel and Jews then suddenly everyone is wringing their hands.

          Interesting tidbit.

          the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine said there have been 30,457 civilian casualties since 24 February 2022.
          No one is mouthing off or protesting these people killed in another war.
          I heard somewhere else the number of soldiers killed in Ukraine was OVER 30k Ukranian dead and 150k Russians killed.

          Wars and rumors of war.

          Now OG says this astronomical number of killed in Ukraine by Russians 600k now that is when you reach a number that can actually be called an attempted Genocide.
          But no one cares and the reporting on both sides is full of holes and propaganda.
          Does OG our crypto Christian care not a bit he only seems to care about Sharia law following murderous hateful Palestinians.

    “You realize, don’t you, that the gross misconduct of government officials from RussiaGate on down to the courtroom of Judge Juan Merchan has amounted to one continuous operation against the American people?”

    We are living in the age of weaponized social, political, and religious institutions that instead of being of service to society on our Planet they instead seek to deface and destroy the one-time-freedom-seeking host society in America that spawned them.

    That’s the word – service. Who and what does one serve? The people who pay these ‘folks’ and who need honest services from them? Or do these institutions exist fully and completely to serve – Self aka Themselves only. We of course know that answer to that one.

    Every major institution that exists on this Planet today only exists to serve itself. They have no other function but the perpetuation and further empowerment of Self at the expense of the vast majority of human beings on this Planet.

    And as history has long proven… institutions NEVER reform themselves or get back on the right path. Once the rot has settled in… Rot becomes its full operating system. Reformers (if there were any) are forced out and no one except for being the same kind of predator-rot-lover is allowed into such institutions.

    The same pattern repeats itself in Corporations and Education and Professional Associations and Religion and of course… our dear Leadership Classes to whom we pay taxes and who now want to fully own us and run our lives from cradle to grave. And our email to our genitals and to twisting the minds and bodies of our youth. That is… for as long as They decide tp keep us around at all anymore.

    All of these forces are working against the American People and the whole World. An American People who are now foreigners living in what was once their own land but now is owned and ruled by those whose interests are more aligned with border-crossers and hidden hands in the shadows as well as a nation across the sea who rules America from a distance.

    “Most of my old ex-friends are riding the same ideological bus… Did the Covid vaccines destroy their minds?… They will end up prisoners of themselves.”

    No, the injections of pain and misery and hastened demise did not cause this sad situation. What causes this is… the Rot that invades a healthy body if you let it and which always takes it over and subsumes it in its darkness and misery if you do not clean that rot out and fast.

    Weeds will always take over a beautiful garden if you don’t tend your field. And it’s the same with people and institutions. If you allow rot to enter in and you don’t do anything about that… you know what your future will be. There is no other outcome possible.

    Weeds thrive. Weeds choke out the good plants. And Weeds becomes the norm… and good plants become scarce and the outcasts straining for air.

    Ideas can be weeds as well. Bad intentions are weeds. Pathological selfishness are weeds. Having no compassion for others are weeds. The hatred of reason and ethics and morals are weeds. Wanting to rule and dominate others are weeds.

    The song was named, ‘America The Beautiful’. It was not named, ‘America The Weedy Waste Dump’.

    But that’s what all this rot has brought among us. And lots of willing hands to spread all the seeds of weeds to every corner of our Nation.

    • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 8:51 pm #

      Ha,, America The Beautiful was inspired for Katherine Lee Bates when she was on top of Pike’s Peak.

        Pikes peak is no longer a free drive.
        It is actually very expensive to drive to the top.
        We tried to take the drive last thanksgiving and were turned around due to it closing at dusk.
        Imagine that having to pay a premium ticket price to see a US national park there was a per vehicle charge as well as a per person charge which for us would have been $35 bucks the top rate being charged.

      Naturally, you could invert that weed analogy into one that involves an elite monoculture, a monocrop that chokes out all the other plants including so-called weeds and has toxic pesticides dumped all over the place, even leaching into the soil and in runoff into rivers, lakes and the ocean, creating dead zones.

      Fatties with tatties and no clothes to cover them. Turns my stomach every time.

        Dunning-Kruger folks, such as some who might be termed, ‘whales’, might not really care and, at the same time, might think they are ‘all that and more’.

        Whatever size, they are the movers and the shakers of the world. The ones that ‘get things done’. The ones that make the world the kind of world you’re likely living in today.

        How they burn down everything they can and then call it mostly peaceful.

          Under The Skin Ownership

          BTW, in psychology, if recalled, personal attacks like that are or used to be called, ‘snarl words’, with their concept being that they allude to the users emotions, rather than as ‘objective reality’.

          So, referring to your previous ‘getting under the skin’ notion, and its subsequent expressions in that regard, that’s pretty much it, IOW.

          Not surprised, in retrospect and WRT another psychological term, ‘projection’, that you’d use the term. I like to think I’ve been around the block.

    I don’t get how anyone can possibly think Trump is going to do anything. For starters why would they elect him when THEY want the corruption in the first place? Unless Trump can out corrupt Biden, I don’t see them electing him. They want someone is going to try to attack them or punish them. After all if Deep State runs America, then Deep State chooses who the hell they want running the country.

Basically Trump know who runs this country, he’s too afraid to say it because they also own his ass too.

            Some ‘old money’ families have lost their wealth thru the generations — Astors, Fishes, Vanderbilts, and Sedgwicks come to mind. Crosby’s in Boston have pretty much disappeared and I don’t think there are any more Morgans left. If you read Edmund Morris’ 3 volume bio of Teddy Roosevelt he references all kind of families that were fabulously wealthy 1880-1920 that you don’t even hear about anymore. Families rise and fall, usually in 3 to 4 generations.

            Speaking of generations, TRs great grandson x5 was spotted at Princeton sporting a Keffiyah and chanting “From the river to the sea.” Lol.

    Tomorrow is Putin’s inauguration day.

    May 9th is Victory Day, the biggest holiday in Russia, celebrating the last time they beat the Nazis.

    According to Dima at Military Summary, the ambassadors of England and France were summoned to the Kremlin today.

    England was told that if there were any attacks on Russian territory with British weapons, that the Russians would respond with attacks on military targets in the UK!
    He didn’t say what they told France, but he did say that Macron came out and denied that France has sent soldiers to Ukraine.

    Meanwhile, Russia is conducting maneuvers with their nuclear capable vehicles.

    Shit’s getting real, while Americans dither about what Israel is doing in Gaza, and totally ignore what their own country is doing in Ukraine.

    I think that’s called “scapegoating”.

        Well the U.S. is involved with two damn conflicting situations, and besides they want this shit to happen..If Russia nukes us it’s because these assholes in our country wanted them to do this. It’s obvious as you can see that they won’t stop playing around. People say young people make stupid decisions but it’s not young people who are running this world, it’s these old fucks that lived too long, are bored and have nothing else better to do than to instigate global wars everywhere.

        The only reason they are all focused on that Israel Vs Palestine BS right now is because it’s just another excuse for retarded white libs to kiss the ass of colored people as always. Therefore they don’t care about Ukraine and Russia because it’s nothing more than just white vs white. And then you have Israel Cheerleaders who aren’t no better than these dipshit Hamas cheerleaders. The Russia war became less popular the minute the Hamas vs Israel war started. If we get hit with a nuclear weapon, we just get hit with a nuclear weapon. Nobody in this sorry irresponsible country cares anymore. If any of them did we would have put an end to all of this a long time ago.

        Plus Putin at this point is just really sick of the United States and Nato both, it’s hard to blame him anymore when a country is desperately and deliberately trying so hard to get it’s own ass kicked and in the worse way possible.
        I now understand why Sarah Conner in T2 shot up Miles house after having that nightmare about nuclear War. I remember that segment of the movie scared the shit out of me. I couldn’t even watch movies anymore about nuclear weapons after Terminator 2 and how Sarah died and it showed the nuclear fire killing off everyone at the playground with the kids catching on fire then Sarah screams loud and explodes with her skin ripping off her body showing only the skeleton before it explodes. Looks ridiculous if you see it now, but damn that scene put the fear of nuclear war in me.

        • JohnAZ May 6, 2024 at 8:26 pm #

          You are right to be scared of the power of nukes. I have had it for 70 years. I was one of those kids that were told to hide under the desks or go into the hallways and “duck and cover”. All worthless. A better idea would have been “Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye”.

          Seriously, the way to stop the escalation into nukes is to never allow power vacuums anywhere. The US needs to be strong, China needs to be strong, Russia needs to be strong to avoid any one of them to think they can win a nuclear contest. In 1991, Mutually Assured Destruction finally forced the US and Russia to give up trying to outdo each other. Strength stops warfare, weakness encourages it as power vacuums fill in with despots. The USA is in a scary situation right now with the rest of the world trying to horn in. Just look at the internal discord happening right now because of the ineptitude of Joe Biden.

          Be strong USA.

            Yeah I know, I told my brother before if such a war ever were to happen I’d have no choice but to over dose on sleep pills before any one of those missiles hit the ground first if they warned one was coming at us. I just don’t understand why any country need these weapons, if they knew that such a war can’t be won.

            Why do they continue to produce nuclear weapons? It’s obvious these countries intend to someday use them. But if you are 70+ years old and lived up to this point, that means you lived a long time fearing something that didn’t happen at all. Except this time things seem dangerously different because we have shitty stupid people in DC. I believe they are aware of the fact they can’t win such a war, but it seems to me that none of them care about winning. They just want to put each other in their place.

            JAZ, what I am referring to is Putin’s request – I think way back at the beginning of his first term – for Russia to join NATO, not the EU, NATO.

            You are correct, Russia in NATO would put an end to NATO’s reason to be. I think that was Putin’s point. But no, we wanted to continue the Cold War.

          • Blackbird May 7, 2024 at 6:20 pm #

            Truth, I was born shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis. All my life I have lived under the shadow of nuclear annihilation. But only for a brief period – when I was a little kid – was I afraid.

            If nuclear war is coming, don’t OD on sleeping pills and miss it. Get to the best vantage point you can and watch the show!

            Don’t die playing possum. Stand up like a man and take it in the face! Do your death dance. Make death work for your soul.

            But… I don’t think nuclear war is coming. I think Putin and Biden and Trump and Xi and Macron and all the rest are owned by the same investors. Those investors will not risk losing this planet – not when they are so close to owning the whole thing.

            What we face (in my opinion) is slavery and mass murder – a bit worse than nuclear annihilation, if you ask me.

            But don’t be afraid. Don’t curl up and die. Fight it – wherever it raises its ugly head.

            And get some chickens.

        It was discussed right along with the failed plan of seven countries in five years garbage.

        “starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”

    I like to take the long view, so I think that Putin must be eradicated. We hear of China’s 5-year plans but I’m sure that their thinking and planning goes far beyond that. We must make Russia an ally with their vast resources and relatively small population in order to counter China and prolong our own longevity. Well before the Die-Centennial the struggle for resources will be intense.

    Instead of the intel agencies focusing on Trump’s takedown, they should be focusing on pulverizing Putin and a paradigm shift in US-Russia relations. It’s time to put an end to this nattering nabob of nocuous nuclear threats.

          [US President George Washington] believed we should set an example to other nations “of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.” To be this shining example, America must remain free from foreign entanglements.

          Today, some consider it America’s duty or role to lead the world, but President Washington understood that our foremost job was to take care of our own needs. He was probably too fiscally practical to think America could afford to run the world and modest enough to recognize that perhaps we had no business doing so.

          While some call this position isolationism and disparage it as out-of-date, Washington’s stance is more of a benevolent neutrality; friendly to all and an enemy to none; ready to defend ourselves, but not seeking a fight.

          To this point, Washington stated, “that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations and passionate attachments for others should be excluded.” He added “The nation which indulges towards another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.”

            “Soros, in turn, had connections with a young economist whom he had been funding—Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Harvard Institute for International Development. The U.S. Agency for International Development assigned Sachs’ Institute to oversee Russia’s transformation to a market economy after more than seven decades of communism. As a consequence of this assignment, Sachs and his team essentially represented the United States as official economic advisors to Russian President Boris Yeltsin. Soros worked closely with Sachs on this project, and the pair held enormous sway over Yeltsin.152 So great was their influence, in fact, that on one occasion Soros quipped that “the former Soviet Empire is now called the Soros Empire.”153 But before long, members of Sachs’s team became involved in massive corruption, exploiting for personal gain their access to Russia’s political and economic leaders. Their actions contributed to the collapse of the Russian economy and to the diversion of some $100 billion out of the country.154 Though Sachs himself was not accused of profiting personally from these activities, he resigned as director of the Harvard Institute in May 1999, under a dark cloud of scandal.155 The U.S. House Banking Committee investigated the matter and called Soros to testify. The billionaire denied culpability but admitted that he had used insider access in an illegal deal to acquire a large portion of Sidanko Oil.156 Soros further acknowledged in Congressional testimony that some of the missing Russian assets had made their way into his personal investment portfolio.157 House Banking Committee chairman Jim Leach characterized the entire sordid affair as “one of the greatest social robberies in human history.”158”

WE need to compete successfully with the other powers to avoid wars on the massive scale. Weakness invites trouble. Same with China, the owner of the largest navy, same with Russia who counterbalances our Nukes.

            The Middle East is in the same situation at the next power level. Everyone must be strong to balance power out, Israel, Iran and the Saudis. Any weakness shown wil invite trouble.

            Without someone playing the big dog game the world spins out of control fast.

            We now have another draw down happening, the US has a weak ineffective leader, and the world is spinning out of control.
            The American century is drawing to a close not because we have spent our power but because we have so many people who have castrated themselves and by proxy begun to castrate the US.

            I am laughing they are supplanting the US all over the world and China is stepping in and China is brutal to their own damn people with zero pretense of caring about human rights.

          Some terrible policy has been at work here that is all but backfiring.

          Might be time to investigate exaclty why Joe Biden and friends are so desperate to keep Ukraine as the 51st state.
          Could it have something to do with enormous kickbacks, human trafficking, oil, gas, encirclement policies, drugs or all of the above?

    Well, ladies and germs;

    It has been announced that the Froggies have sent a 1500 man contingent of the Foreign Legion to (the) Ukraine. These are not exactly NATO troops, but in effect, they are.
    What in the hell France has in mind, or on who’s behalf the legionnaires are being sent is open to question.

    The Foreign Legion is a respected organization, the troops hard, well trained, and very well disciplined. They are equivalent, in my estimation, to our Rangers.

    The…Merde…is in the fire now.

    • Blackbird May 6, 2024 at 9:58 pm #

      “What in the hell France has in mind… is open to question.”

      An excuse to pull NATO in to a larger European war?

      And don’t forget Taiwan. We will smash those semiconductor factories into silicosis-causing dust to keep the chink’s dirty hands off them.

    ***************************Breaking News********************************

    The United Nations Select Committee on Territorial Disputes has proposed a multi-part solution to the 75 year old Arab-Israeli conflict. While acknowledging that the Palestinians are largely, in the words of one official, “a made-up group” formed and bankrolled in the early 1970s by the Soviet Union in a attempt to reframe communist repression as anti colonialism, the unnamed official stated that too much time and too many resources have been dedicated to what at this juncture appears to be an intractable conflict, preventing the allocation of these resources to UN initiatives like the Iran-chaired Panel on Women’s Rights or the North Korea-chaired Panel on Free Speech and Innovation in Agriculture.

    A formal release of the details of the plan is expected next week but officials familiar with the initial draft are saying that the plan calls for a return of all Israeli lands to the “Palestinians”. In return, the Israelis will be given the entire country of Canada.

    UN officials acknowledge that “Palestine”, once the Jews are gone will quickly join the “Fourth World Club” and most experts believe that Palestine will knock South Africa out of the top spot as the country to go most rapidly from modernity into PS (Permanent Shithole) status. The upside from a global economic perspective is that the Israelis, soon to be the stewards of a land with abundant resources, are projected to turn the landmass north of the United States from a middling backwater into a center for cutting edge technologies and rapidly become one of the world’s leading economies.

    In order for the draft plan to have any feasibility, concrete provisions for dealing with the existing population of Canada had to be addressed. After careful consideration of the alternatives, the UN Commission on Human Rights has authorized the genocide of current Canadians, now designated as ES (Effete Shitbird) status. Officials stated that it was a relatively easy transition from “off the record” support for Palestinian calls for Jewish extermination to full-throated endorsement of the elimination of Canadians. The initial draft states that Canada was chosen for its general blandness and prodigiously low testosterone levels among its “male” population. The analysis of Canada’s future prospects returned a negative index primarily due to the revised projected timeline for the point of singularity, where Canadian “males” will overtake and in many cases surpass Canadian women in estrogen production. It is now believed that the singularity actually occurred five to seven years ago. A spokesperson for the Commission was further quoted as saying, “Given the fact that Canada is really known for next to nothing, the rest of the world probably won’t even notice that they’re gone.”

    As this announcement went to press, student demonstrations have sprung up on multiple campuses across the country celebrating the Canadian genocide but protesting that under the UN plan, the Jews will still be able to exist.

      Another great post, KoC.

      South Africa is indeed a fine example of Israel’s fate if it surrendered and allowed itself to be overrun by Hamas, Hezbollah, or any number of terror organizations endemic to that part of the world. One caveat is it took the ANC three decades to drag SA into Permanent 3rd World S#thole Status, SA being a much larger country than Israel. In Israel, Hamas could accomplish the task in a month or two. When Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 it left behind a system of Greenhouses that would have given Gaza the ability to grow enough crops to feed itself and even export some of the produce; the first thing Gazans did, the very first thing, is destroy the greenhouses with explosives and rifle fire.

      This is what Israel is dealing with, right on its border.

      • benr May 7, 2024 at 7:48 am #

        On it’s border they have enemies scream death to Israel in their own country.

        Same as our troubled Republic.

        I have noticed no one is screaming death to Palestine, death to Iran I wonder what would happen if the rhetoric and methods got reversed?

    “I flayed as many nobles as had rebelled against me [and] draped their skins over the pile [of corpses]; some I spread out within the pile, some I erected on stakes upon the pile … I flayed many right through my land [and] draped their skins over the walls.”

    “I felled 50 of their fighting men with the sword, burnt 200 captives from them, [and] defeated in a battle on the plain 332 troops. … With their blood I dyed the mountain red like red wool, [and] the rest of them the ravines [and] torrents of the mountain swallowed. I carried off captives [and] possessions from them. I cut off the heads of their fighters [and] built [therewith] a tower before their city. I burnt their adolescent boys [and] girls.”

    “In strife and conflict I besieged [and] conquered the city. I felled 3,000 of their fighting men with the sword … I captured many troops alive: I cut off of some their arms [and] hands; I cut off of others their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of many troops. I made one pile of the living [and] one of heads. I hung their heads on trees around the city.”

    Albert Kirk Grayson, Assyrian Royal Inscriptions, Part 2: From Tiglath-pileser I to Ashur-nasir-apli II (Wiesbaden, Germ.: Otto Harrassowitz, 1976), pp. 124–127.

    Jarek: This is what he did to rebels. There is nothing to match what “god” said in Deuteronomy, “Kill all who breathe”.

    In one macabre incident, Mohammad defeated a Jewish tribe and then asked what should be done with them. One Jewish convert (I think) said, Apply their own law to them. Accordingly, Mohammad killed all the men and enslaved all others. Of course later Islamic custom and law wasn’t all that different, lol. Things were still in formation. He was influenced much by Judaism.

    Interesting report in Aljazerra

    From a report from Alex Cosh an editor with Canadian “The Maple”

    Pressed by a coalition of Canadian groups, including Cosh, “Trudeau has admitted that Canada has authorized military exports to Israel after October 7. Official Ottawa tried to blunt the stunning volte-face by suggesting that the permits were limited to non-lethal equipment.”

    In Feb., Cosh obtained export data showing the Trudeau government had approved 28.5 million Canadian dollars in new permits during the opening of the Gaza offensive.

    Just imagine someone being named Tiglath-Pileser. Would an adoring fan lovingly refer to ole Tiglath as Tig lol? Several threads ago I had mentioned that the Assyrians built what were essentially rolling towers that they used to attack and capture walled cities. And yes, they would make the tortures of Medieval times look like nursery lullabies. But most people have no clue who the Assyrians are at this point. Perhaps karmic in some ways I suppose. But then again it also just points to a lack of education and historical awareness as well.

      They still exist as a people. Ethnic bonds are very strong in the Middle East and in most parts of the world. Whites seem to be deficient in this. A genetic flaw, perhaps.

      Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuelle is an Assyrian. He was attacked by a Muslim during mass recently. He got stabbed in the face and lost an eye.

      He has the big nose, but not the bulging arm muscles that the glyphs always show.

      • SoftStarLight May 7, 2024 at 1:43 pm #

        Ah ok I didn’t realize he was the Australian bishop that had gotten attacked. Well the Arabs generally are technically classified as Caucasians. However, they would I guess be a different branch of the tree since they are much different than say Europeans. I think Whites in the West have literally been hypnotized and indoctrinated now for multiple successive generations. Plus they are putting mind control stuff in our food and water. That is why social and ethnic bonds have eroded so much imho. It’s practically illegal, maybe literally in some Western countries? for whites to even believe they are a distinct people and culture. And that is not even getting to how they changed our relationship with the land by building and zoning standards.

        Lol, yeah, and if you also notice on a lot of those bas reliefs of the Assyrian rulers they are usually depicted as being much taller than everyone else. Chads or the Chad ideals have been with us forever ;0)

          It wasn’t until the first generation European immigrants started to die off that our ruling overlords rolled out the “You are all white” bullshit.

            Scots were cheap, the English were bad cooks, the French were arrogant cowards, Germans were order-following jerks.

            But according to Jarek, we are all in the same white tribe and should stand in solidarity.

            Also according to Jarek, Yugoslavia was destined to break up because of ethnic and religious incompatibility.

            I have been with my Irish background husband for 45 years.

            When we first got together we always joked about the unlikely combination of an English woman and an Irish man. We never thought of ourselves as two white people, just two warring tribes.

            Now, after years of racist provocation from the Establishment, we joke about being white. We rarely eat mayonnaise, for instance, but when we do we joke about it being mandatory for “white” people.

            That’s the power of propaganda. I know it’s wrong, but I still acknowledge it enough to joke about it.

            That is such an interesting way of thinking! Its actually new to me. I mean, don’t get me wrong. Like I totally get the jokes and distinctions and sorta personalities of the different white ethnics. But I’ve always thought of whites as a single race. Races have subraces if you think of it. So that could also explain the different tribes, etc. Obviously anything could be propaganda but it seems like it could also be a descriptor or an issue of being an idea. So what is a tribe to one person is a race to another or maybe a sub race of some larger meta race.

            But his dad is of Scottish ancestry, and so is his last name.

            So he is Scot/Irish, which has its own stereotype, of being rowdy and violent.

    ‘Can you imagine this Einstein’s hypocritical reaction if Russian documents came to light planning the assassination of a US President to “paradigm shift in US-Russia relations”?’ OG

    ‘While some call this position isolationism and disparage it as out-of-date, Washington’s stance is more of a benevolent neutrality; friendly to all and an enemy to none; ready to defend ourselves, but not seeking a fight.’ OG

    I wouldn’t be hypocritical; I’d be grateful that the documents ‘came to light’ giving us all the more reason to get rid of Putin and make Russia an ally. Use your brain, think.

    ‘Benevolent neutrality’, for us, in this day and age? ‘Washington’s stance?’ How naive, how dreadfully shallow in thinking, how moronic in misapprehension and outdated in concept!

    John is right for the most part, and as he says, ‘it is the way of the world’, which, with your childlike naivete you just can’t understand.

      The US does not need to rid Russia of Putin.
      Putin is what holds Russia together they appear to need a strong man every bit as much as Iraq did and does.

      Putin has shown he won’t take the easy bait when provoked.

      A Russian break up would be a nightmare considering all the aging nuclear stockpiles they have.

      No, the US should be courting Russia as an ally and foil against a growing Chinese threat.

They were outright pissy over Trump making peace with Putin. And you hear how Blinkin is going around making threats. I don’t know what China’s aim is but I don’t think the U.S. cares about the Chinese being a threat. At this point it doesn’t really matter anymore. The U.S. is going to keep trying and trying until Putin does take the bait….

        I mean how many times is he going to tolerate America’s bullshit childish terrorist attack attempts while denying “oh we had nothing to do with this!” The West is govern by fucking morons, not only in the United States, but also in Western Europe and Canada as well…All govern by moronic imbeciles that have no business leading any nation.

    Looks like Jack Smith might have stacked documents or messed up evidence.

    Whoops.
    Source epoch times.

    Attorneys for former President Donald Trump are seeking to push deadlines and file additional motions, including a possible request for sanctions, in the classified documents case prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith after revelations that the order of files in the physical boxes of documents do not match the digital scans.
    U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon allowed the defense to file the extra reply brief on May 6. Both sides have accused the other of mischaracterizing the situation to the judge as a May 9 deadline for the defense to file expert disclosures related to classified information litigation loomed overhead.
    In a separate paperless order, Judge Cannon paused that deadline on May 6. “Order setting second set of pretrial deadlines/hearings to follow,” the docket reads.
    On May 3, the prosecutors had made the admission that the files were not in the same order, and in a footnote admitted that they had made misrepresentations to the court about this issue.
    “President Trump and counsel are deeply troubled to be learning of these facts approximately 11 months after the charges were filed in this case,” Trump attorneys wrote.
    Who Handled Evidence?
    Defense attorneys argued this revealed that prosecutors have since “day one” made “false assertions of compliance with their discovery obligations.”
    The inconsistency had been confirmed by prosecutors after issues were flagged by attorneys for Walt Nauta, valet to President Trump, who was charged for obstruction alongside the former president as a codefendant.

    Attorneys for President Trump argued they had not examined the boxes themselves when they had the scans, as it “never occurred to us, until last Friday, that the prosecution team could not be trusted to perform the basic task of maintaining the integrity of such evidence despite the expansive resources at their disposal.”
    In addition to the documents not being in the same order with prosecutors unaware of the reason, prosecutors had acknowledged that the scans provided to the defense were made by an outside vendor as part of a related civil case. The defense argued that process “lacked the constitutional, statutory, and ethical safeguards that guide discovery obligations in this criminal case.”
    After the May 3 revelation, President Trump’s legal team reached out to the prosecutors with a discovery letter requesting materials related to this issue.

    “These issues implicate, for example, President Trump’s motion to suppress evidence seized from Mar-a-Lago and the motion to dismiss based on prosecutorial misconduct,” defense attorneys argued.
    The defense plans to request sanctions on the special counsel depending on the discovery produced by this request, and may also file a motion to dismiss charges “if the Office cannot prove in a reliable way how it seized and handled the key evidence in the case, which will be a central issue at any trial.”
    Strategy Change
    They also renewed arguments to delay the May 9 deadline.
    “Defense counsel cannot reasonably be expected to specify classified information that they intend to offer at trial when the Office recently disclosed that one of the most basic premises of the criminal justice process—that the prosecution team can be trusted to maintain existing evidence—no longer applies,” they argued.
    They revealed that they will use classified information to cross-examine witnesses about procedures for handling such information, and may now look for experts to focus on chain-of-custody and search-execution deficiencies.
    Defense attorneys also argued that prosecutors have “repeatedly and unjustly” asked for “unworkable deadlines,” accusing them of political motivations.
    Additional Discovery Request
    Defense attorneys argued that prosecutors cannot “seriously contend” that the new admission of evidence being moved could be irrelevant to the ongoing litigation.
    They are requesting all communications, memos, reports, letters, notes, and other documents related to instructions given to the “filter team” that handled evidence.
    Prosecutors had noted that the filter team “took care to ensure that no documents were moved from one box to another, but it was not focused on maintaining the sequence of documents within each box.”
    There was also a separate “investigation team” that handled on-site review, and defense attorneys are requesting their instructions, and communications between the two teams.
    The defense is also requesting documents related to the chain of custody of boxes stored overnight in the FBI field office in Miami, and boxes that were flown to Washington.
    They also requested documents related to the process the FBI used to replace handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets, as well as the deviations from the process that prosecutors had alluded to in their filing.
    Defense attorneys also wanted documents related to personnel involved in this process and the “several reasons” for which prosecutors said they were allowed access.
    The defense also sought clarity of what differences there are between the physical boxes and scans, and the communications that led to this disclosure on the part of the prosecutors.

    Calls to limit wealth accumulation are growing louder and more strident.

    theguardian.com/books/2024/jan/21/how-much-personal-wealth-is-enough-ingrid-robeyns-limitarianism

    What are you a capitalist!

    Here’s a couple of good questions for an election year: while we may talk about minimum wages, why don’t we ever discuss maximum wages? And, while our politicians may argue about how little a family can survive on, why do they never address the other end of the inequality scale: just how much accumulated wealth might be too much?

    This week in January is always a pertinent one for such questions. As the world’s billionaires have private-jetted out to Davos to slap themselves on the back once again for their outrageous fortune, Oxfam has produced its annual report about the growing gap between that happy few and the other 8 billion from whom they profit and with whom they share the planet’s resources. This year’s report, Inequality Inc, again articulates a trend that we have all witnessed for the past four decades and more. While most people, locally, nationally, globally, try to survive on the same or less, the rich and the very rich become phenomenally more wealthy year by year. Since 2020, the report reveals, “60% of humanity has grown poorer, [while] billionaires are now $3.3tn or 34% richer than they were at the beginning of this decade of crisis.” The wealth of the world’s five richest men has more than doubled in that period, adding an unprecedented $464bn to their fortunes.

    Are electorates and politicians across the world prepared just to shrug for ever about that widening wealth gap? It can seem that they are. Our own shameful government, led by a man worth £529m at the last count, seems to be pinning its slim chances of re-election on drastically reducing or abolishing inheritance tax, the single policy that most benefits the vanishingly small number of families as rich as the prime minister’s. At what point does the question arise: enough is enough?

    Now where have we heard all this before?

    Trust me when I say I am not super wealthy but at one point the upper tax limit on earned wealth was 90% for anyone earning over 1 million a year.
    It worries me when the hand of government is deciding on how to spend my savings or anyone else’s including the ubber rich.
    It always starts there and some how screws the middle class.

    Today marks the 25th anniversary of the US Air Force bombing the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, killing three Chinese.

    President Xi of China will be in Belgrade to observe the anniversary of this crime.

    Eventually, the US did apologize and compensate the Chinese.

    You won’t see this in the mainstream media, but I thought CFNers should be aware of this important event.

    (Just like you’ll never see the MSM refer to the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967, where 32 sailors were killed and over 150 wounded).

      @Socrates-Detroit

      Is there any reason why they attacked the USS Liberty?

      • Socrates-Detroit May 7, 2024 at 11:54 am #

        I’m sure there was. Otherwise, why shoot it? The ship was in international waters, and the nearest shore was the Sinai Peninsula (which was part of Egypt at the time)

        It was not an accident, as there were several passes by Israeli aircraft. I just read that a torpedo was fired at the ship.

        I think the obvious answer is that it was an intelligence gathering ship (radio/radar), and the Israelis did not want the US ship gathering intelligence. The Liberty was a “warship”, but as I understand, it was not armed.

        (So presumably, it means the ship was meant to operate in “safe” waters, where it would not, or could not, be attacked. Much like USAF transports and airborne command posts are essentially defenseless and meant to operate in “secure” airspace).

        The ship was attacked on June 8, 1967, which was during the June 1967 “Six Day War”.

        The 6-day war took place on June 05-10, 1967. Israel attacked the neighboring Arab states and took the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula (Egypt), the Golan Heights (Syria) and the West Bank (Jordan).

    I’m old enough to remember when it was a running joke about the UN, no matter what was happening in the world, they’d convene and condemn Israel.

    If anybody had been paying attention to news other than those mass-produced protests at our universities, you would have seen that the evidence is mounting against Doctor Anthony Fauci and many others, and it goes all the way to the White House, that crimes against humanity were committed; crimes that affected much of the world.

    This has been what, four years? What has any international body said or done to bring this to light and punish the guilty parties?

    During an actual war, though, they are quick to jump on Benjamin Netanyahu, for things that literally just happened, let me repeat myself, during a WAR.

    That’s why I say, what good are they? They are an unserious, politicized, corrupt failure of an organization, and many Americans were calling to get the UN out of the US way before Hamas ever existed.

    • messianicdruid May 7, 2024 at 10:37 am #

      “Anyone who wants to avoid the creation of the Palestinian state, has to support Hamas and has to transfer money to Hamas. This is what we are doing. This is part of our strategy: to finance Hamas so that there will ever be a Palestinian state.” Benjamin Netanyahu, March 2019, the Knesset

      • Socrates-Detroit May 7, 2024 at 12:04 pm #

        Why is the Epoch Times reporting on it now?

        Is it to entice people like me to subscribe, by dangling that sexy story in front of us?

        Where were they in November 2021, when Senator Ron Johnson (WI-Rep) convened a hearing on the vaccine-injured?

        It was carried on Rumble, and I watched it. ALL of it–almost four hours. Very credible. People’s lives RUINED after they took the shot. A doctor who could no longer operate and had to fold up his practice, including let his staff go. People financially destroyed by trying to treat their new ailments. Teenage son dead. And more.

        At the introduction, Johnson POINTEDLY mentioned that the media had been invited, but not a SINGLE mainstream media outlet showed up. Did Epoch times show up? FoxNews didn’t.

        JHK, to his credit, questioned the mRNA from the outset. One reason I come here.

        That was 2.5 years ago.

        So why now? To try put another story to deflect from the barbaric destruction Israel has wreaked, and continues to wreak, on Gaza with impunity?

        Doesn’t the Epoch times also preach fiscal responsibility? What do they say about all this aid to Israel? To Ukraine? To Taiwan?

        Do they echo Senator McConnell, who says “it’s not as lot of money for us”. Damn Mitch, give me some of it!

    It looks like in the NE scrappers & vandals are hitting the high voltage, rapid EV chargers first, which makes sense because “dats where the best copper be.” Those high voltage chargers are really the motherlode for modern day miners. If your a gold miner, you go where the gold is. After those superchargers are stripped clean, then, and only then, do you go for the smaller yields, ordinary individual charging stations for the Proles. What EV charging stations are in more rural areas last 4-5 days, in de hood, 2-3 days.

  62. BackRowHeckler May 7, 2024 at 11:21 am #

    Copper prices headed to $4.75 per pound, which is a pretty good incentive. Strip a dozen or so EV Charging Stations of their copper you have yourself a pretty good payday, and not to mention all the aluminum that can be cut out of the main core itself, adding to the bonanza.

      I don’t if Israel is the Deep State, or the Deep State is Israel, but does it matter?

      Powerful lobbies control the US. And the most powerful, by far, is the Israeli Lobby. And these lobbies are interconnected. The military industrial complex and financial are the next two. Then we have big pharma, insurance, real estate, energy. All connected.

      US foreign policy is basically to support Zionism 120%, and to occasionally appear to question certain Zionist tactics, without actually doing anything.

      The tail wags the dog. Several people here see the obvious. Several do not; and several DO see it, but Israel is more important to them than the US, so they support Israel.

      The US “supports a two-state solution”. But when the UN tries to make Palestine a state, the US vetoes it.

      Biden may be the most Zionist Senator ever. And I admit, I totally missed it.

      It wasn’t till after the war ON Gaza that I found out that he got more Israel lobby money from 1994-2016 than any other Senator.

      This war on Gaza has unearthed many bad skeletons that Israel would prefer to remain buried, including the harassment of Christians, as well as the daily abuses suffered by Palestinians, which it appears many of us (including myself) tended to overlook.

      You don’t think that was a major factor in the Democrats “coalescing” behind Biden to “Stop Trump”?

            Money is inflated. Speaking loosely, ten dollars today buys what a dime bought in 1913.

            However, in my opinion, TIME has changed. Since 1913, in any given decade, things have changed MORE, there has been more scientific and technological innovation in any decade since then than there might have been in THREE centuries during the time of Christ, or Rome.

            So, while I can see lots of parallels with the Roman Empire, saying that it took Rome “centuries to unravel” (the WESTERN part), centuries during Rome could be a decade or two today.

            As often happens, I don’t agree with @JohnAZ comparisons of the US to the Ottoman or Austrian Empires or the Balkans. The US, internally, does not have occupied large, occupied, groups. The Native Americans have not been a factor since the 1800s. Those other empires or states did.

            But JonAZ has a point about the USSR. The USA has several parallels with the USSR–and with Russia.

            Both are/were imperial entities with large, expensive militaries that the economy can not/could not sustain.

            Dmitry Orlov (who has been a guest on JHK’s podcast) has made a lot of astute observations about the parallels between the USSR before it imploded, and the USA in the 2000s. And Orlov, in parallel with JHK, does not paint a pretty picture.

            (That said, the USA has outlasted Orlov’s prediction of a 1990s style Soviet/Russia implosion during the 20-teens).

            Russia, the core of the USSR, went through a very difficult time in the 1990s. The Russian people endured more than what the American people endured during the great depression. But Russia and the Russians endured and rebounded.

            Both Orlov and JHK don’t paint such a pretty picture of a post-implosion “good ending” in the USA. America has some structural issues (suburbia, as JHK wrote in “The Geography of Nowhere”) and once the prosperity leaves, how will America’s “diversity” work out.

            Socrates, the US doesn’t have that large a military; an Army of 400,000 troops in a nation of 330 million is rather pitiful. Bulgaria went into WW1 with more than 400,000 troops. All the US armed forces added up, including the Coast Guard, just tops 1 million. 1 million is how many Russian soldiers the Wehrmacht captured on the Eastern Front in 1941. China and NKorea can field 17 million soldiers. And out of the 400,000 US Army can put into action, how many are combat ready trained infantry, artillery or armor? Probably not more than 50,000.

            I agree with your comment about the size of the US Army not being “large”. All your numbers make sense, I’ll grant all that.

            I’ll even raise you and say the size of the entire US military, in terms of active-duty personnel is the smallest it has been since before the Korean War.

            All true. But the fact remains that the US still has hundreds of bases throughout the world. Some are trip wires, others are vital to the Air Force and Navy to project US power.

            The cost of this “smaller, but smarter” force however is anything but small. I’ve stopped keeping track–you may know what it is. I’m going to say it’s close to one TRILLION dollars. Or more. That’s everything–DoD, Nukes (that’s on another budget), CIA/NSA.

            Measured in current (inflated) dollars, it’s a record high. Even in inflation-adjusted dollars, it’s very high.

            Many of these “efficient” new weapons, which often don’t work as advertised are very expensive. And that is before the cost over-runs.

            Since Bush Jr, defense spending has been very high.

            This country is broke, but spending lots of money on “defense”. Ironically, our actual border with Mexico is “under-defended” and the not the defense department’s job.

            The USSR was (essentially) broke, and also spending a lot of resources on “defense”.

      • JohnAZ May 7, 2024 at 12:40 pm #

        I have mentioned before about the book I read about four years ago, (Cannot remember the title or author). the author’s premise was that the border was open because the illicit trades was what is keeping the IMF in business, that the liquidity keeps the interest payments up on the international debt. The US government does no just tolerate the cartels, it is part of them, or maybe the cartels are a part of the globalist group that is taking over the world. So, is the Deep State global?

        A very good question to ask to answer this,

        Who is in charge? It certainly is not Biden and the US Deep State.

        • BackRowHeckler May 7, 2024 at 12:44 pm #

          That makes it even more problematic because these Cartels never go away….Mexico have been fighting these groups forever, and now parts of Latin America is dealing with them that never had to face them at all until now….It’s troublesome because of so much criminality. If Cartels are running this country…… Then we’ve already lost, don’t mean to be black pilled but just the way I feel about the whole thing.

            Think MS13 is in every city in the country, the Blacks are getting pissed off at the Latinos fighting for the drug trafficking,

            Someone is pushing these folks from their homelands and financing their journey to the border. Human smuggling is constant. illegal walkovers are omnipresent.

            Go to your local zoo and count the diversity now. We are not a White culture any more. Every ethnic group you can think of is present.

            No, IMHO, the cartels are not running the USA but they are “lobbyists”for the Deep State in DC, who are running the country, sort of.

            Your fears are founded, as I say over and over, the only voice that is running contrary to this situation is Trump. But only his wishes, trying to get anything done may be too late. If they do not kill him.

    Apropos to my upthread comment: Sunday I was out of town and went to an unfamiliar grocery store called ACME to buy dinner fixings for my MIL. I picked up a six pack of beer for me and my BIL. The clerk said I must buy alcohol in a special line, I couldn’t purchase it with him. OK. I’m 70 and the new cashier asks to see my ID. It’s stuck inconveniently in my wallet so I show her and she says she has to swipe it to buy alcohol. I say no-politely-she can confirm by holding the ID that I am over 21 but she cannot make an electronic record. So we have to call the manager, it being store policy and all, and I say I prefer to have no e-record of alcohol purchases. Sorry. Impossible. They must swipe my DL to sell beer. So let’s call that curious fact 1.
    The next day I’m flying home & at the airport I am 2 hours early to my gate. I sit down at a BrewPub and finally wave down the bartender to order a beer and she points to a Q-code at my place. Use your phone to order and pay for it and I’ll bring it to you. I say, I’ll just pay cash for it. Sorry we don’t accept cash in this entire Terminal. You cannot buy anything without a credit card! So these six guys sitting at the bar overhear the conversation and remark that Big Brother is watching. Five white guys and a burly black guy who says cheerfully, I’ll buy the guy a beer, put it on my tab. I thank him but decline his offer. The beer was $12 anyway and despite flashing a $20, bartender says she cannot serve a beer or make change. The permission society is almost here.//

    Get ready for ABC stores to be credit card and ID only. Anonymous consumption cannot be allowed.

    “I think we should’ve gone into Rafah yesterday already… There are no uninvolved (civilians) there. You have to go in and kill and kill and kill… We have to kill them before they kill us”
    That’s Shimon Boker, vice chairman of the World Likud, the international arm of Netnayahu’s party. This is what he had to say three days ago, on Channel 12’s “Ofira & Levinson” talk show, regarding the topic of hostage deal vs. Rafah invasion.

    Jarek: The bombing has already begun, so as to speed the evacuation I suppose. But given the above, I don’t think it’s all going to be very humane.

    Talk about peace and then begin bombing the same day. Remember, they control the media in the West, even in countries that don’t have big Jewish populations, like Sweden. They’re running cover for them.

    • TruthSeeker1986 May 7, 2024 at 2:26 pm #

      Why do they want to go into Rafah anyway? I keep hearing about this place, but what’s the reason for fighting there?

      • OG May 7, 2024 at 3:07 pm #

        Rafah is one of the last untouched parts of Gaza while Bibi wants all of Gaza. The 2.2mm Gazans must be genocided and refugeed the Hell out of there. The Ben Gurion Canal and a modern Mediterranean Atlantic City are two major developments planned.

          • JohnAZ May 7, 2024 at 4:28 pm #

            There is a reason for Rafah. OG, the canal is going by the north end of Gaza so that is not it.

            I heard a report that the tunnel system Hamas installed has most of its terminals in Rafah. They are going to be dropping “dam busters”, IMHO, in there to collapse the bulk of the tunnels. The interconnects to the “ports” where weapons are brought into Gaza also are in Rafah according to the report.

            I believe this is the Main target of the war.

            The Israelis are pushing the civilians out of Rafah, according to the media. And I reported on a story yesterday that said the USA government is already planning on taking in Palis. I wonder how many Hamas will accompany them?

          • OG May 7, 2024 at 4:38 pm #

            The fact that the planned Ben Gurion Canal will go through north Gaza does not diminish anything that I said in the least, JAZ.

            This is why I hate that Israel have control over this country or at least enough to use it like some sort of dumpster to offload any and everything here. Last year when I saw all those Palestinian flags and Israel flags being waved around in New York I just shook my head… There wasn’t a single American flag among the crowd in NYC… NONE.

            You were either on team Israel or Team Palestinian and they were bickering in each other’s faces…The whole damn scene looked like the Middle East with all those Muslims and Jewish supporters fighting among themselves. Nothing physically violent happened but still it makes this country look horribly bad.

            All I saw were white people waving the Israel flags like a bunch of cucks, and the Muslims waving their stupid flags….And I’m like….Why oh why don’t Americans do something to take back their nation from all these damn people that have no business here?

            We don’t even have a damn nation anymore…..Even when Hispanics are out protesting I see Mexican flags being waved around….These people dont’ give two fucks about this country, NONE! Because they still act as if they are living in the countries they all fled from but come here waving their own damn flags… And it doesn’t help that the citizens that usualy support them do the same because libs feel like they have to be part of every little protest if it means one side is “oppressing” the other in some way.

          • JohnAZ May 7, 2024 at 8:59 pm #

            OG, you may be right about the projects that Israel wants to do.

            To the victor go the spoils, another Truth of humanity.

            You are also right about our dumping ground, TS. It is the mechanism that the Deep State is using to globalize the USA.

            Think, right now, the USA culture? What USA culture? It is a snap to divide a country that has no reason for existence.

            Pretty soon, there will not be a reason for the existence of the USA, China is going to take over the seas watch, Russia providing oil, with the Middle East helping out.

            BRICS++ will be in charge, the West a puny afterthought.

            The immediate question is what the USA will do to try to prevent this scenario.

  66. socialisthater May 7, 2024 at 2:23 pm #

    Communist/Socialists and Fascist/Socialists NEVER truly believe in freedom or any kind of representative democracy. NEVER. Both believe that is is their duty to dictate what is best for their “subjects” because, well, they know what’s best for us, and they will always gravitate to using the brute force of a dictatorial government to make certain that the rabble public follows their dictates.

    This practice of dictating “rules” to public is exactly what the whole Democrat scum elite mob is all about today. And those edicts flow down to the very most ludicrous detail–what kind of stove you can have, what kind of air conditioner you must buy, what kind of fuel your automobile will use, what–if anything–that you can use to defend yourself against a violent criminal or a tyrannical (violent) government, and so on.

    Hitler spoke directly to Socialist aims, “National socialism is the determination to create a new man. There will no longer exist any individual arbitrary will, nor realms in which the individual belongs to himself. The time of happiness as a private matter is over.” Stalin said essentially the same thing.

    One of the great ironies is that many of the same “liberals” who railed against the Viet Nam war and the power of “The Man” are the same morons that now are fully embracing the Fascist/Communist/Socialist Democrat Party determined to bring the very worst features of Communist and Fascist dictatorial rule to the United States.

            How many Palis has Israel killed since 1948? I’m not being facetious, I really don’t know the answer and it seems a very important statistic in this discussion.

            You claimed: “250,000 of them have been killed. That’s what I call a genocide.”

            So, I’m wondering how close Israel on Pali is to your declared genocide threshold.

    ‘No, the US should be courting Russia as an ally and foil against a growing Chinese threat.’

    You just rang the bell with a light swing of the hammer. You are truly a high striker!

    Putin must go in order for this to happen. Tough to do but not impossible if we focus on the goal and our intel agencies get their act together. A strong, enduring alliance between Russia and China is extremely dangerous heading into a future with depleted resources. Prigozhin almost did it with no help from us. Here’s some stuff to think about from substack:

    Prigozhin’s March on Moscow (corrected)
    Ten lessons from a mutiny

    TIMOTHY SNYDER
    JUN 26, 2023

    How to understand Yevgeny Prigozhin’s march on Moscow and its sudden end? Often there are plots without a coup; this seemed like a coup without a plot. Yet weird as the mercenary chief’s mutiny was, we can draw some conclusions from its course and from its conclusion.

    1. Putin is not popular. All the opinion polling we have takes place in an environment where his power is seen as more or less inevitable and where answering the question the wrong way seems risky. But when Putin’s power was lifted, as when the city of Rostov-on-Don was seized by Wagner, no one seemed to mind. Reacting to Prigozhin’s mutiny, some Russians were euphoric, and most seemed apathetic. What was not to be seen was anyone in any Russian city spontaneously expressing their personal support for Putin, let alone anyone taking any sort of personal risk on behalf of his regime.

    The euphoria suggests to me that some Russians are ready to be ruled by a different exploitative regime. The apathy indicates that most Russians at this point just take for granted that they will be ruled by the gangster with the most guns, and will just go on with their daily lives regardless of who that gangster happens to be.

    2. Prigozhin was a threat to Putin, because he does much the same things that Putin does, and leverages Putin’s own assets. Both the Russian state itself and Prigozhin’s mercenary firm Wagner are extractive regimes with large public relations and military arms.

    The Putin regime exists, and the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are relatively wealthy, thanks to the colonial exploitation of hydrocarbon resources in Siberia. The wealth is held by a very few people, and the Russian population is treated to a regular spectacle of otherwise pointless war — Ukraine, Syria, Ukraine again — to distract attention from this basic state of affairs, and to convince them that there is some kind of external enemy that justifies it (hint: there really isn’t).

    Wagner functioned as a kind of intensification of the Russian state, doing the dirtiest work beyond Russia, not only in Syria and Ukraine but also in Africa. It was subsidized by the Russian state, but made its real money by extracting mineral resources on its own, especially in Africa. Unlike most of its other ventures, Wagner’s war in Ukraine was a losing proposition. Prigozhin leveraged the desperation of Russia’s propaganda for a victory by taking credit for victory at Bakhmut. That minor city was completely destroyed and abandoned by the time Wagner took it, at the cost of tens of thousands of Russian lives.

    But because it was the only gain in Russia’s horrifyingly costly but strategically senseless 2023 offensive, Bakhmut had to be portrayed by Putin’s media as some kind of Stalingrad or Berlin. Prigozhin took advantage of this. He was able to direct the false glory to himself even as he then withdrew Wagner from Ukraine. Meanwhile he criticized the military commanders of the Russian Federation in increasingly vulgar terms, thereby preventing the Russian state (and Putin) from gaining much from the bloody spectacle of invaded Ukraine. In sum: Wagner was able to make the Putin regime work for it.

    3. Prigozhin told the truth about the war. This has to be treated as a kind of self-serving accident: Prigozhin is a flamboyant and skilled liar and propagandist. But his pose in the days before his march on Moscow made the truth helpful to him. He wanted to occupy this position in Russian public opinion: the man who fought loyally for Russia and won Russia’s only meaningful victory in 2023, in the teeth of the incompetence of the regime and the senselessness of the war itself.

    I’m not sure enough attention has been paid to what Prigozhin said about Putin’s motives for war: that it had nothing to do with NATO enlargement or Ukrainian aggression, and was simply a matter of wishing to dominate Ukraine, replace its regime with a Moscow-friendly politician (Viktor Medvedchuk), and then seize its resources and to satisfy the Russian elite. Given the way the Russian political system actually works, that has the ring of plausibility. Putin’s various rationales are dramatically inconsistent with the way the Russian political system actually works.

    4. Russia is far less secure than it was before invading Ukraine. This is a rather obvious point that many people aside from myself have been making, going all the way back the first invasion of 2014. There was never any reason to believe, from that point at the latest, that Putin cared about Russian national interests. If he had, he would never have begun a conflict that forced Russia to become subordinate to China, which is the only real threat on its borders. Any realist in Moscow concerned about the Russian state would seek to balance China and the West, rather than pursue a policy which had to alienate the West.

    Putin was concerned that Ukraine might serve as a model. Unlike Russians, Ukrainians could vote and enjoyed freedom of speech and association. That was no threat to Russia, but it was to Putin’s own power. Putin certainly saw Ukraine as an opportunity to generate a spectacle that would distract from his own regime’s intense corruption, and to consolidate his own reputation as a leader who could gather in what he falsely portrayed as “Russian” lands. But none of this has anything to do with the security of Russia as a state or the wellbeing of Russians as a people.

    The Putin of 2022 (much more than the Putin of 2014) seems to have believed his own propaganda, overestimating Russian power while dismissing the reality of the Ukrainian state and Ukrainian civil society — something no realist would do. That meant that the second invasion failed, and that meant (as I wrote back in February 2022) that it would give an opportunity to a rival warlord. Prigozhin was that warlord and he took that opportunity. This might have all seemed abstract until he led his forces on a march to Moscow, downing six Russian helicopters and one plane, and stopping without ever having met meaningful resistance. To be sure, Wagner had many advantages, such as being seen as Russian by locals and knowing how local infrastructure worked. Nevertheless, Prigozhin’s march shows that a small force would have little trouble reaching Moscow. That was not the case before most of the Russian armed forces were committed in Ukraine, where many of the best units essentially ceased to exist.

    5. When backed into a corner, Putin saves himself. In the West, we worry about Putin’s feelings. What might he do if he feels threatened? Might he do something terrible to us? Putin encourages this line of thinking with constant bluster about “escalation” and the like. On Saturday Putin gave another speech full of threats, this time directed against Prigozhin and Wagner. Then he got into a plane and flew away to another city. And then he made a deal with Prigozhin. And then all legal charges against Prigozhin were dropped. And then Putin’s propagandists explained that all of this was perfectly normal.

    So long as Putin is in power, this is what he will do. He will threaten and hope that those threats will change the behaviour of his enemies. When that fails, he will change the story. His regime rests on propaganda, and in the end the spectacle generated by the military is there to serve the propaganda. Even when that spectacle is as humiliating as can be possibly be imagined, as it was on Saturday when Russian rebels marched on Moscow and Putin fled, his response will be to try to change the subject.

    It is worth emphasizing that on Saturday the threat to him personally and to his regime was real. Both the risk and the humiliation were incomparably greater than anything that could happen in Ukraine. Compared to power in Russia, land in Ukraine is unimportant. After what we have just seen, no one should be arguing that Putin might be backed into a corner in Ukraine and take some terrible decision. He cannot be backed into a corner in Ukraine. He can only be backed into a corner in Russia. And now we know what he does when that happens: record a speech and run away.

    (And most likely write a check. A note of speculation. No one yet knows what the deal between Putin and Prigozhin was. There are rumblings in Russia that Sergei Shoigu, Prigozhin’s main target, will be forced to resign after accusations of some kind of corruption or another. There are reports that Prigozhin was given reason to be concerned about the lives of his own family members and those of other Wagner leaders. I imagine, personally, that one element was money. On 1 July, Wagner was going to cease to exist as a separate entity, at least formally speaking. It like all private armies was required to subordinate itself to the ministry of defense, which is to say to Shoigu. This helps to explain, I think, the timing of the mutiny. Were Wagner to cease to function as before, Prigozhin would have lost a lot of money. It is not unreasonable to suppose that he marched on Moscow at a moment when we still had the firepower to generate one last payout. Mafia metaphors can help here, not least because they are barely metaphors. You can think of the Russian state as a protection racket. No one is really safe, but everyone has to accept “protection” in the knowledge that this is less risky than rebellion. A protection racket is always vulnerable to another protection racket. In marching from Rostov-on-Don to Moscow, Prigozhin was breaking one protection racket and proposing another. On this logic, we can imagine Prigozhin’s proposal to Putin as follows: I am deploying the greater force, and I am now demanding protection money from you. If you want to continue your own protection racket, pay me off before I reach Moscow.)

    6. The top participants were fascists, and fascists can feud. We don’t use the term “fascist” much, since the Russians (especially Russian fascists) use it for their enemies, which is confusing; and since it seems somehow politically incorrect to use it. And for another reason: unlike the Italians, the Romanians, and the Germans of the 1930s, the Putin regime has had the use of tremendous profits from hydrocarbons, which it has used to influence western public opinion. All the same, if Russia today is not a fascist regime, it is really difficult to know what regime would be fascist. It is more clearly fascist than Mussolini’s Italy, which invented the term. Russian fascists have been in the forefront of both invasions on Ukraine, both on the battlefield and in propaganda. Putin himself has used fascist language at every turn, and has pursued the fascist goal of genocide in Ukraine.

    Prigozhin has been however the more effective fascist propagandist during this war, strategically using symbols of violence (a sledgehammer) and images of death (cemeteries, actual corpses) to solidify his position. Wagner includes a very large number of openly fascist fighters. Wagner’s conflict with Shoigu has racist overtones, undertones, and throughtones — on pro-Wagner Telegram channels he is referred to as “the Tuva degenerate” and similar.

    That said, the difference between fascists can seem very meaningful when that is all that is on offer, and it is absolutely clear that many Russians were deeply affected by the clash of the two fascist camps. That said, it is important to specify a difference between Putin and Prigozhin’s fascism and that of the 1930s. The two men are both very concerned with money, which the first generation of fascists in general were not. They are oligarchical fascists — a breed worth watching here in the US as well.

    7. The division in Russia was real, and will likely endure. Some Russians celebrated when Wagner shot down Russian helicopters, and others were astonished that they could do so. Some Russians wanted action, others could not imagine change. Most Russians probably do not care much, but those who do are not of the same opinion. Putin’s regime will try to change the subject, as always, but now it lacks offensive power in Ukraine (without Wagner) and so the ability to create much of a spectacle. Russian propaganda has already turned against Wagner, who were of course yesterday’s heroes. The leading Russian propagandist, Vladimir Solovyov, recruited for Wagner. The son of Putin’s spokesman supposedly served in Wagner. Although this was almost certainly a lie, it reveals that Wagner was once the site of prestige.

    It might prove hard for Russian propagandists to find any heroes in the story, since for the most part no one resisted Wagner’s march on Moscow. If Wagner was so horrible, why did everyone just let it go forward? If the Russian ministry of defense is so effective, why did it do so little? If Putin is in charge, why did he run away, and leave even the negotiating to Lukashenko of Belarus? If Lukashenko is the hero of the story, what does that say about Putin?

If the military chose to betray them then that would be the real game changer because they are the ones that fight the wars for them, make the money for them and so fourth. I can’t see myself joining the military or any other branch such as the Navy, Airforce, army,etc. Because none of them seem to realize that they are being used for nefarious reasons and then when it’s all over and done with.

            A majority of these people end up homeless, forgotten, broken, mentally unstable and yet the gov does nothing to help these vets but can sit around talking out of it’s ass about why we need more useless third worlders just so they can manipulate and easily take advantage of their ignorance since these are the very same stupid dumbass people who allowed their own countries to be destroyed by the very same type of actors who are doing it to America.

    Kevin MacDonald, from an article on the Anti-Semitism bill at occidental observer dot net

    And it would appear to make any claim that no Jews could ever be reasonably charged with disloyalty: “Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.” This despite Jonathan Pollard and the well-known statements of Jews like Haim Saban, a major donor to the Democrat Party.

    Saban’s commitment to Israel really knows no bounds. This is from an interview with Haaretz in 2006; Saban’s comments are in quotes.

    You said once that you are a one-note person, and that note is Israel. Why?

    “You can’t explain love.”

    It’s really love?

    “More than love. Passion. A love that is passion.”

    Please explain.

    “When we approach Israel I always ask the pilots of my plane to let me sit in the chair between them. We don’t play ‘Heveinu Shalom Aleichem,’ but when I see the coast coming up my heart starts to go boom, boom, boom.”

    Is Israel also part of your everyday life here, in Los Angeles?

    “At 9 A.M. I start with London and Kirschenbaum [Channel 10’s evening current events program]. After that, throughout the day, if I see something about Israel on one of the four channels that are always on in my office, on mute, I immediately turn on the sound. And I have Israeli music on my computer, classics and contemporary singers, too.

    “Let me tell you a story. A few years ago I got some new albums and I put them on the computer. Suddenly ‘The Photos in the Album’ [sung by Haim Moshe] comes up. I’m standing there, shaving, listening to the lyrics. And the tears stream over the soap, without my even being able to explain why. Grandma, mom cooking, I promised you wouldn’t fight against anyone. A knife in the heart. That is the heart of the nation. And I love this nation. I love the Jewish people, even more the Israeli people. I feel a very deep bond which I can’t explain.”

    Haim Saban is an American citizen, but can there really be any question where his loyalty lies? I suspect it’s the same with the neocons accused of spying, and with AIPAC’s Rosen and Weissman (see previous link). A big part of my article on neocons was simply to document their intense commitment to Israel.

    Finally, Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed it would infringe on some Christian beliefs, such as the view that Jews were responsible for killing Christ.

    It’s pretty obvious that facts and truth are completely irrelevant, as one expects when dealing with ethnocentric activists. But that shouldn’t prevent internet-based criticism of Israel and Jewish influence to continue as long as possible. It’s just getting more and more unlikely that this will be allowed to continue. It’s quite possible that it won’t be long before criticism of Jews and Jewish power is confined to printed material mailed to subscribers in envelops without return addresses, just like the 1980s. The First Amendment be damned.

    Jarek: The utter passion. Nothing is great is created without it – or maintained either. The Irish patriots had it, but the Communists strangled Ireland in its grave. The National Socialists of Germany had it, and the nascent New World Order crushed them before it could spread to other countries.

    And many Jews still have it. Both here and in Israel. Dual loyalty? Not a chance! You don’t have a love like that for more than one man, woman, or nation. The only thing higher is a love for the Truth, be it in science, philosophy or religion.

      A big question for a long time.

      Nation over religion, am I a Christian or an American, Am I a Catholic or a Protestant or British?

      Many many people have died over the debate.

      To. The today Jews, are they Jews or Americans, are they Jews or Germans? I would say that they have been confounded since the diaspora, many Jews went to the gas chambers insisting they were Germans.

      Are American Jews Jewish first or America first? Are Israeli Jews Jewish first or Israeli, or is that the same to them. Are the Palestinian Arabs that are citizens of Israel, Israelis or Muslims? I would say that all types exist. I wonder how many Arabs fight in the IDF?

      The conundrum of religion vs. State has been with us ever since there has been people.

      • Socrates-Detroit May 8, 2024 at 11:18 am #

        @ZrCrypDik

        Certainly not ALL Jews wanted Jesus executed. Perhaps not even most Jews.

        If one is a Christian, and one believes the Gospels are true, it is crystal clear that the Jewish High Priests wanted Christ dead and had him executed.

        The Romans carried out the execution, but the High Priests were responsible.

        Jesus was popular with many Jews. As such, he was a threat to the high priests who represented (and profited, some might say) from “established Judaism”. They wanted Christ gone because they saw him as a threat to their privileged position.

        The first Christians were Jewish. The disciples who spread the word were Jewish.

        I’m not a priest, but Christ’s resurrection was the ransom for (all) our sins and the reason He came into the world. I think all Christian denominations agree on that.

        So, without the High Priests and their mob to do the evil deed, how would He have died and been resurrected?

        This year, Orthodox Christians throughout the world celebrated the Resurrection on Sunday, May 05.

        Christ is Risen!

        All that said, at the end of the day, the Jewish High Priests, and their supporters, were responsible for Christ’s execution.

        Marjorie Taylor Greene and the others have a point on this thought control/speech control bill masquerading as “an Anti-anti-semitism measure”.

        Unlike Judea, today’s High Priests control the government and law enforcement. And Christianity represents a threat to their secular, corrupt, control. Just like the Patriot Act gave the US government new powers, I can see this bill being “weaponized” against Christians, conflating Christianity and anti-Semitism.

        And I think the more principled (on this issue) Christian Republicans see this coming.

        And I think Taylor Greene is a big Israel supporter (I definitely am not–I support the USA and the Constitution). This speech control bill sounds very unconstitutional to me.

        On a secular level, this bill is pure speech control / thought control. One more step down for the USA.

        All of this, to keep the Israeli Lobby happy, and allow the modern day Israeli Government to continue slaughtering and abusing Palestinians.

        BTW, If anyone is interested in the how and who killed Christ, here is how it went down:

        John 18:38

        “…he (Pilate) went outside to the Jews again, and he said to them “I find no guilt in him (Jesus)”

        Matthew 27:22-27

        “Pilate said to them (the people assembled outside, who were Jews which the high priests had gathered) “What am I to do with Jesus who is called Christ?”. They all said to him “Crucify him!”. The procurator (Pilate) said “Why, what evil has He done?”. But they kept crying out the more, saying “Crucify him!”. Now Pilate, seeing he was doing no good, but rather that a riot was breaking out, took water and washed his hands in sight of the crowd, saying “I am innocent of the blood of this just man, see to it yourselves”.

        “Then he (Pilate) released Barabbas; but Jesus he (Pilate) scourged and delivered to them to be crucified. The soldiers of the procurator took Jesus into the praetorium….”

      Jonathan Pollard is not disloyal–to Israel!

      He was born in Texas.

      However, I know many of the “Israel uber alles” people here at CFN probably idolize Pollard.

      So, for you, here is what the “great man” has to say about things, including his comments that “(Israeli) hostages’ families need to be silenced, arrested.”

        Nobody agrees with what Pollard did, and he was punished for it, too. Every country spies on every other country, including its closest allies. Remember it came out we had tapped German Prime Minister Merkel’s personal cell phone? You don’t think we have spies in France, in the UK, in Israel?

          Nope, this is a war like any other.

          If anything, Hamas orchestrated Oct. 7 to stop the Aramaic Accords which SA was getting ready to sign and to fire up the world into another anti- Israel frenzy.

          Look at your bias, it worked. You look for truth? OG that is a joke, you are the most biased poster about Israel on the blog.

          The USA lost under 3000 folks at Pearl Harbor and blew Japan away, killing millions and eventually developing the atomic bomb to eradicate Japan. I watched a You Tube last night saying that the next bomb was ready and on hold waiting for the surrender. It had a date. Target Tokyo. The allied PTB had had it with the Asssholes in Japan.

          He who messes with the bull gets the horn.

          Bibi is going to make sure that the Arabs get this message. It makes no difference any more what anyone thinks, including you.

          That is the real result of the Hamas screwup called Oct.7.

      Jesus said. Paraphrasing, “The oppressed will always be with us”, when addressing Judas about the woman anointing his feet with oil. Judas had just objected to Jesus about the cost of the oil saying it should be given to the poor. Jesus told them to not scold the woman, that she was preparing him for his death.

      Jesus, himself, acknowledges the omnipresence of the poor. He wants people to take care of each other, but there will always be poor.

      We are studying Revelation in church. I have realized that the End of the World is drawing near. God is not some Namby pamby, He is going to destroy most of what you call humanized. Humanity is inherently evil and God is going to destroy most of it. He is the ultimate judge and Jesus presence will be there.

      Humans are NOT compassionate or merciful on the whole, they are greedy, power driven, mean creatures. I would prefer to be dehumanized, your words, as I reject most of the BS justification for Man’s inhumanity to man.

          • Socrates-Detroit May 8, 2024 at 1:57 pm #

            Yes OG. If the “good Israelis” can determine exactly where “bad Hamas” is, they must destroy everything in the vicinity.

            You see @OG, it is “subtle” as @benr says.

            Actually, it is @benr who displays a willful ability to completely ignore the reality of the situation, which is anything but subtle.

            The reality is the deliberate and willful destruction of Gaza, with the “collateral” damage of thousands of dead Palestinians, mostly women and children, most of whom are descended from the Palestinians who lived in what it is considered “Israel”. The vast majority of whom are women and children.

            There is nothing subtle about that. There are all kinds of clever-sounding, but false, arguments to support the industrial slaughter..

            @benr is able to completely set aside pertinent facts, such as the (pre-Oct 07) Israeli policy of “mowing the lawn” (aka bombing occasionally) Gaza “as needed”, of keeping Gaza on a “subsistence diet” (those are Israeli officials’ words, not mine), in other words making life difficult in what was an open air prison before Oct 07. Now the prison is being leveled.

            @benr (presumably an “American”) is able to willfully ignore the massive violations of property rights of the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank; let alone the violations of their human rights. Palestinians can be killed or taken prisoner at will, for no reason. In their own (or what was their own) land!

            Maybe @benr’s ancestors owned slaves in the good ol’ south, so he’s perfectly at ease with the concept of “free men” keeping slaves.

            If on Oct 06 Tel Aviv looked like Gaza post Oct 07, perhaps @benr might have point.

      • messianicdruid May 8, 2024 at 1:25 pm #

        “Humanity is inherently evil and God is going to destroy most of it.”

        Creator God is not a loser. Maybe you should give Him some credit for being able to train [ educate, influence, control ] his creation.

        “The belief that God cannot do some things, or that God is limited in His ability, is fairly common among Christians. Many think that God’s ability to act is limited by man’s “free will.” People often think that God either cannot override man’s will or that He is incapable of making man change his will to conform to the will of God.

        But God would not be God at all, if He were so helpless in the face of billions of people, each restricting God in his own way by his free will. The collective restriction would be rather enormous, for each man has jurisdiction over his own piece of the earth, even if it is just his own body. Is God a mere bystander in human history? Is God merely a good counselor to men? Does God wish that men would follow Him, but can do little or nothing about it?

Anarchists in Portland celebrated May Day by breaking into a police compound and torching 17 squad cars. Then they released another manifesto, threatening further vandalism & extolling support for oppressed Palestinians, trans people, racial minorities, victims of settler colonialism … you get the drill, the same BS we’ve been hearing since about 2016. It’s an election year and these Anitifa chaps with their Anarchy banners & black umbrellas appear more and more to be the militant arm of the Democratic Party.

        The fact that they were allowed to do all of that tells me the Democrat party really do have that much control….I wonder what all these “oppressed” groups are going to do when they don’t have shit to go out and protest against anymore when the U.S. collapse on it’s ass, and that’s if it ever happens in their lifetime. The Democratic party is such a manipulative cesspool. They rely on the most easiest to control people in this country.

        I honestly have reason to believe the guy who had his knee on Floyd’s neck was paid to do that…Maybe they got both men to stage the whole thing just so the democrats could have a reason to ignite those riots…I mean look how it happened right around June. What if they paid both Floyd and those cops to stage the whole thing….

        I mean why hasn’t any similar scenario like that happened ever since? It’s like 9/11 it was the first major event of the early 2000s, and nothing like that happened ever again in this country. There was of course that Muslim sniper back in 2003 but they executed him already. At the time he was brainwashing a 17 year old boy who is currently still on trial for those DC shootings. That is if they haven’t killed him or let him go because both men are Black. But they did execute the other one, that was before the Left had all this control that they currently have now.

            If they were trained to do that it was wrong.

            I googled the Neck hold and found a whole lot of double speak. Lots and lots of bans on the procedure, after the fact. Minneapolis police allowed the restraints but the cop did not know what he was doing, he did it wrong. Quickly, knee of back or neck but weight back so not much pressure on the neck. Floyd was so compromised that didn’t stand much of a chance. I believe the same thing happened not too long ago in New York.

          • Jarek May 8, 2024 at 1:14 pm #

            Someone made a documentary about the Floyd case. I’m blanking on the title. They showed that the knee resting on the neck was part of the Minneapolis police handbook, at that time at least.

            The Judge wouldn’t allow it as evidence. It was clear which way they wanted the trial to go.

            Floyd was of course as much a victim as a perp. Cops are just specialized coercive roles in the same context as how children are raised: Not much by the parents anymore, but by sociocultural surrogates.

        Every ‘Day’ can be swapped for ‘Indoctrination Day’. Go ahead, try it! 😀

        I had a thought: Government services over here seem to be increasingly managed through/over the phone, rather than in person. Presumable to save money, but maybe also for my thought…

        Some years ago on Peak Oil Barrel, I may have exclaimed that police are sitting-ducks. Granted, armed sitting-ducks, but sitting ducks nonetheless. And when revolution truly begins, they may function as such, as ‘target practice’…

        So getting back to my thought, it went essentially along this tangent: ‘Maybe defunding the police serves more purposes than some may think, in ultimately protecting them.’.

            But anyway, let it become truly conscious and, clearcuts aside, it might break from an ostensibly ideologically-coerced State playbook… maybe even recommend citizens get off the net and plant some trees/flora and deal effectively with the increasingly-angrier kids n’ stuff like those.

    “Planting evidence and then fiddling around with it?”

    I’m guessing those Jeffry Epstien files (videos) got the *DIRT* on every last one of those bought-and-paid for whores (politicians/judges). Who has those blackmail files now? They’ve gotta be worth the dime (Jim Croce – his wife didn’t see a dime either).

    “Do they want to be told how to live by the WHO?”

    They want a father figure, a family, and a *purpose* . Sounds like a cult to me. The open air prison tactics used to “quell” the masses have been taught to the US police state for decades… Testing grounds!

    Is RFK Jr. aware of the “he’s an intelligence asset” charges being made against him?

    I mentioned this the other day, and I bring it up now as it’s gaining traction.

    The latest “evidence” is that he had dinner with Mike Pompeo.

    You know, President Trump’s Secretary of State. That Mike Pompeo.

    “RFK Jr. says he had dinner with former CIA director Mike Pompeo in Las Vegas

    He’s likely an intelligence asset attempting to co-opt the dissident right. Extremely shady”

      Could be. If nothing else, it indicates that he might be agreeable to bringing Pompeo on board with his prospective administration, which would of course be just more of the same. In the end, it’s far less important which candidate takes the big seat than who are the players he brings on board to man all the key positions. Are there enough genuine alternatives even out there to fill out an administration predicated on meaningful change? I’m skeptical. Meaningful change will never come from within the current system – it’s far too far gone for that now – but will only come by force of natural events (economic collapse, war losses, etc.) or violent overthrow.

      • TruthSeeker1986 May 8, 2024 at 10:08 am #

        I vote and bet money on Violent Overthrow, that one seems to be the most effective. Why? Because none of these assholes have experienced any level of FEAR yet besides being blackmailed. When January 6 happened I saw some of them cowarding and hiding and shit behind desk and everything, they were scared out of their minds….Now imagine if it was a real attack and not some staged up BS by the Left to make Trump look like he instigated all of it, and no I’m not a Trump supporter.

        Just stating the obvious here. I’m saying that for all the war mongering these people do, all the chest pounding and conflict creating they do..None of these people have ever experienced real terror before. So if a mob of angry Americans stormed wherever they were hiding, you would see a lot of these people crapping on themselves. But they know that’s never going to happen…

        Why? Because the left supports them, liberals supports them. The so called “right” to some degree also supports them too. People were also willing to go along with taking a shot that put them at risk of dying or getting sick/handicapped. Violent revolutions happen when the people aren’t mentally unstable… Not even these third worlders coming here have tried to overthrow anyone in their country, instead they fled here and turned America into a toilet/dumping ground. The left uses words like “Asylum” but this isn’t a damn Asylum, it’s a dumping ground for the third world.

          The Congress was a bunch of coward.

          The actual photos show people broke in and then did basically nothing when they got in.

          Most of the Cheney led “investigation” showed the violence entering but subsequent information shows little violence once inside, just a lot of walking around.

          The real deal?

          The Congress led by Pelosi wanted the riot to happen, that is why she did not call the Guard which Trump offered or alert the Capitol Police.

          Where were out illustrious representatives, cowering. Why weren’t they talking to the milling around folks to try to calm the situation?

          Because they wanted it to happen, they wanted PR pressure on the election investigations going on.

          The MAGA folks wanted a real investigation into the election BEFORE it was certified by Pence. They tried to interrupt and delay the process. Trump was sort of counting on Pence to go along. Result? Pence plunged in the knife. The Deep State won the confrontation, they did a kangaroo court exercise to try to clobber Trump, it worked for a while but subsequent investigation have shown that most of their “findings” are bullshit.

          The courts are dead set against Trump, they are pure Deep State. But the absurdity of the charges, and the parallel actions by the Deep State to Trump are compromising all the cases.

          The kangaroos are dying quickly.

      It was Hillary Clinton that pushed the birther theory about Obama being born in Kenya.
      Obamas publisher also said it until he went public about running for resident in the Whitehouse.

      It was also Hillary who pushed the Russian collusion delusion and pee pee tapes.

      The democrats have been using lawfare to go after Trump for years.

      All they die is lie, connive and contrive propaganda that is then blasted through the left leaning media.
      When called on the lies they quietly might make a retraction.

      Is anyone surprised?

      They also repeatedly call for violence and then claim they are not doing it.

      In 2018, Waters criticized the Trump administration’s zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration that led to separating families at the border, telling a crowd, “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!”

      If this is not a call for violence I don’t know what is.

      What weasel wording this and I use the term very loosely women is disgusting.

      That sounds like the “He said to drink bleach” bullshit.

      Even my liberal daughter listened to the actual excerpt and said that “He didn’t say that”.

      But I talked to a woman who said she was a Republican the other day. She said that she would vote for Biden over Trump! and I asked her why. She brought up the “grab them by the pussy” psy op.

      Again, anyone who actually reads what he actually said would know that he was not bragging about sexual assault. He was bragging about being rich and famous.
      I brought up Biden groping little girls, and she literally waved her hand to dismiss it.

      So, yeah. Disinformation works on the gullible, and those unable to analyze for themselves.

    Jarek, how about the notion that the Capstone reign is coming to an end, as a result of BRICS++ circumventing and nullifying their SWIFT domination, and the death of the US$ key currency?

    If the Capstone no longer have an economic advantage, then is a military advantage their only remaining option?

    Macgregor promotes the idea that as a result of the Ukraine conflict, Russia has a battle hardened military, perhaps the best in the world. And, as far as nuclear, ultimately, no one has the advantage.

    So, as per Dalio’s cycle of an empire, won’t China and Russia, be at the threshold of a new dawn?

      Because TPTB nuclear war is a stupid way to fight a war. I said it before, they should have all destroyed their nuclear weapons a long time ago because if one nation uses one, that’s it…We’ve all lost. America was idiotic for using one the first time on Japan, because of that they basically encouraged everyone else to stock up on Nuclear weapons.

        They were in a race with Germany, who was developing the hydrogen bomb along with all the other advanced weapons systems Hitler was counting on. The Manhattan Project was aimed at Germany, but thanks mostly to the Russians overrunning Berlin, it was not necessary. So, to counter the insanity of the Japanese government, Truman made the decision to clobber Japan once and for all. America had had enough bullshit. BTW, as I said up blog, a series of bombs were in the works, number three practically on the way to Tinian to be used against Tokyo. One week out and the surrender would have been total destruction of the Japanese government.

        Did you know the US dropped leaflets on Hiroshima and Nagasaki telling them to get out of Dodge? The bombs were a PR display to tell the Japanese that their government’s day was over, especially the Emperor.

      Russia and China are different.

      Russia has every resource they need to be self sufficient, and a small population.

      China has far too many people to support on their own resources.

      So China is roaming the world trying to get food and resources for their population. They just make business deals to do it, instead of overthrowing governments and bombing populations.

      Odd that people who think birth control and abortion are wrong are the biggest screamers about Chinese imperialism.

      They just want millions of babies born to starve to death, the way the Chinese just for centuries?

        We see these things in a similar vein Paula.

        Macgregor promotes that the leadership of most nations of the world are not interested in conflict, and they just want to get down to the business of doing business.

        Thinking in terms of the One Belt One Road being fully developed and operational, and Russia being at peace and trading with Europe, I could foresee a rich lifestyle for the population of Russia.

        And as for China with its bulging population, I think the WEFers, with their open border nonsense, have established an avenue for China to alleviate their problem in this regard. Perhaps in 3 or 4 generations, 50% of the world population will be Chinese.

        There are many that imply that China has massive intractable internal problems which will not allow them to be a contender for world leadership. I suspect that they do not have an open mind to the possibilities and solutions.

        According to Armstrong, Putin’s contenders do not have his patience, and the world should be thankful that Putin is in charge at this point in time.

      China is strongest because they are National Socialist. Don’t be fooled by the Communist name and veneer. They extoll the race nation and value their capitalist entrepreneurs. The latter must serve the Chinese people and state is all. Is that so onerous? It’s going to put them on top of the Global Pyramid.

      Somebody above mentioned bears. I have a bear story from a few days ago. Some dude crashed his car on I-91 in Hadley, Mass. He was thrown from the car and apparently killed, or at least severely injured. The car was found, but not the driver. Turns out a black bear dragged the driver off into the woods and was eating him. That’s all I know so far. The fate of the bear hasn’t been released, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was put down.

        BRH, the latest from the local news:

        “When first responders reached the scene, the deceased male occupant of the vehicle was outside the car and a bear was observed in the woods in the vicinity of the scene,” State Police said in a statement. “Evidence suggests the bear at some point had made contact with the victim’s body.”

    Yesterday, May 07, in Vietnam, they celebrated the 70th anniversary of the fall of Dien Bien Phu.

    For those of you who don’t know, Dien Bien Phu was a French outpost in (North) Vietnam, near the border with Laos.

    The French set up this camp, built around an airstrip, in a valley surrounded by hills/mountains.

    The French strategy was to lure the Vietnamese and decimate them with superior French firepower. It had worked in some other spots, where the Vietnamese had tried to “expel” the invaders. But the had Vietnamese learned their lesson, to NOT try to engage French forces unless the Vietnamese enjoyed overall superiority.

    (A lesson the desperate Greek Communists did not learn, which led to their defeat in Greece in 1949. I mention Greece, because I think a lot of US policy planners say Greece as a “success” they could apply to Vietnam)

    The Vietnamese, with Chinese help, were able over the course of months, mostly at night, to move artillery into the surrounding mountains using human labor and mules and oxen to conceal it in the foliage in the surrounding hills.

    Then on 13 March 1954, one day, their artillery opened fire, and began pummeling the base.

    After that, the Vietnamese riflemen began attacking, closing on the base (which had several encampments) slowly, like a hangman’s noose.

    Soon the base could only be resupplied by air drops, as the runway was taken out of commission.

    The Vietnamese suffered a lot of casualties, as did the French. After the French finally surrendered, I think quite a few of the French survivors, wounded and not, did not survive their march to captivity.

    The next day, 08 May 1954, in Geneva, after the surrender of the French, peace talks started.

    So, a few weeks ago, I watched “The Outpost” on Netflix. I’m not an Army person, and an amateur student of history, but during the opening scenes, you see the US Forward Base, and it is largely…ringed by hills! And my first thought was…Dien Bien Phu.

    The Outpost is a pretty good movie. According to some vets who were there, it is the most realistic of the Hollywood depictions of Afghanistan. I won’t give it away. The movie is based on actual events, the characters are portrayed with their actual names. I won’t give it away.

    After DBP fell, the US moved to replace the French. The US engineered a “division” of the country, to keep the popular Ho Chi Minh from leading all of it, and that division led to a long war.

    60,000 Americans died, most of them draftees. For what exactly?

    For a “theory”. The Domino Theory.

    Thanks to the US prolonging the war another 21 years, another 1.5 million Vietnamese died. The US trashed the much of the countryside with Agent Orange, leading to another kind of death or illness sentence from cancer or birth defects.

    Anyway, yesterday, 70 years ago, the French surrendered to the Vietnamese. I think that was the first major defeat suffered by a colonizing great power at the hands of the native people.

    I thought I’d share that here.

    • TruthSeeker1986 May 8, 2024 at 12:19 pm #

      • SpeedyBB May 9, 2024 at 11:47 am #

        You only got part of that right, Soc-Det.

        The manufactured image of the noble Ho Chi Minh struggling to secure the independence of his “country” is not shared by the masses of Vietnamese who voted with their feet, first in 1954, then again in 1963 and finally 1975, with the collapse of the Republic of South Vietnam – a real deal, not some propped-up puppet state.

        Three million in total struggled to escape the murderous, incompetent communists. In the 1954 partition, over one million fled North Vietnam for the south, quite aware of what “land reform” and “getting rid of the oppressors” meant.

        After the glorious victory in 1975 the country went to shit, with widespread famine and starvation. It became such a painfully embarrassing basket case that a faction of younger Party cadres rebelled and forced the leadership to allow a market economy, following which the people’s prosperity suddenly blossomed – including the peasants, who bore the brunt of copycat Maoist “reform”.

        Once I got to know them, many of the Southerners I met expressed their bitterness and intense dislike of the Northern people. These included Viet Cong who, once victory was secured, were cast aside by the northern victors.

        I know all this also because I was hired to edit the English-language version of a personal history by a retired Vietnamese-American academic, living in Georgia. His theory was that the Americans never really intended to win the war (sound familiar?) and one aspect I found very curious was that a bare twenty days after the US-approved killing of President Ngo Diem Dinh, the one guy who could have held South Vietnam together, a similar execution took place in downtown Dallas.

    • JohnAZ May 8, 2024 at 12:43 pm #

      Very accurate, prior to the war, the area was French Indochina, part of the French Empire. Guess why the French and others, Holland for one wanted their share of the area?

      Oil, this is where the Japanese conquered when the allies cut off their oil before the war.

      Catch the similarity with the Middle East?

      • JohnAZ May 8, 2024 at 12:44 pm #

        The original name of Shell Oil was Dutch Royal Shell, centered in Indo-China.

        • Socrates-Detroit May 8, 2024 at 1:02 pm #

          So there was oil in INDO-CHINA? In Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos?

          Is that what you are saying?

          That’s news to me.

          There was oil in INDONESIA. That’s where the Dutch were. That was one of Japan’s strategic objectives (which the Japanese accomplished).

          The only thing I’m aware of that was of importance from Indochina was rubber. The French took IndoChina in 18xx.

          I think even during the Vietnam War, both the Vietnamese/Communists AND the Americans avoided the rubber plantations. The Vietnamese were paid by Michelin and/or other French not to bother them, and the Americans were directed also not to bother them, because the US wanted to keep the French happy.

          I could be wrong about this–I welcome comments from the “older folks”. I was born when LBJ was President, so this is really before my time. Just “book knowledge”, with some anecdotes from my father, who got his stuff from his fellow servicemen who spent time in SE Asia.

          • JohnAZ May 8, 2024 at 1:15 pm #

            Are the Vietmanese drilling for this oil? Or do they have someone doing it for them?

          • SpeedyBB May 10, 2024 at 6:12 am #

            The whole shoving match about territorial waters in the South China Sea, which the PRC wants to hog for itself, is only incidentally about fish. I asked Copilot about hydrocarbon reserves, and here is what it fed back to me: ”

            “Strategic Importance:
            The South China Sea is a critical maritime region connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. It serves as a major shipping route for goods, including oil and gas.

            “Several countries bordering the sea (such as China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei) have competing territorial claims, leading to disputes over sovereignty and control.

            “Resource Potential:
            Oil and natural gas reserves are indeed a significant factor. The South China Sea is believed to hold substantial hydrocarbon resources.
            Estimates vary, but some studies suggest that the region could contain up to 11 billion barrels of oil and 190 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
            These resources are crucial for energy security and economic development, driving countries to assert their claims and secure access.”

            Vietnam could certainly use that wealth. Let’s hope that some of the PLA Navy vessels find a resting place at the bottom of the South China Sea, as the matter of territorial control is resolved.

        There was an interim group with the USA leading the WW2 allies. It was called SEATO, South East Asia Treaty Organization. Hmmm, sorta like NATO. Anyway, SEATO, and the US supported the separation of North and South VietNam with HO Chi Minh, the victor against the French, in the North and the Diem family in the South. Support for this group made Eisenhower then JFK send advisors to bolster the Diem group. Then a Buddhist Monk burned himself alive and Diem was doomed.

        Sidebars. JFK realized the futility of supporting the South and wanted to back out the advisors. The MIC reacted, LBJ co-operated, the Tonkin Gulf incident, 1965, total falsehood started the war.

        A few years later the Pentagon Papers exposed the LBJ lie, Years later, Robert Mc Namara admitted Viet Nam was a total fabrication and a huge mistake. He was Secretary of Defense.

        It ended, much like Afghanistan, with Kissinger, Nixon and the Paris Peace talks. We finally just quit, left and left our allies in the lurch.

        Bottom line, TS, is that America invades then never has a clue what victory is. That si why Vietnam lasted ten years and Afghanistan, 20 years. We had no idea what we were doing?

        Uh, no, the MIC knew exactly what we were doing.

        I see the US is still calling Ukraine a “liberal democracy” that “we” must support, (by sending more money and weapons to kill off the remaining Ukrainians).

        Zelensky banned opposition parties, shut down opposition papers, killed dissenters, and cancelled the election.

        Nothing says “liberal democracy” like censorship and repression of political opponents, amirite?

    The Guardian

    Israel has launched a major military offensive against Hamas forces in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, seizing control of a key border crossing and cutting off most aid into the territory a day before indirect talks on a ceasefire deal are due to restart.

    Images released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) showed tanks flying large Israeli flags driving through the post and crushing a concrete sign reading “I Love Gaza”.

    Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said the offensive would continue until Hamas forces in Rafah “and the entire Gaza Strip” were “eliminated” or the militant Islamist organisation begins to release hostages. A government spokesperson described the first stage of a wider effort targeting Hamas.

    “This is the beginning of our mission to take out the last four Hamas brigades in Rafah. You should be in no doubt about that whatsoever,” the spokesperson said.

    The Israeli operation was launched hours after an announcement by Hamas leaders on Monday night that they would accept a recent proposal for a ceasefire deal put forward by Qatari and Egyptian mediators.

    Any truce would be the first pause in fighting since a week-long ceasefire in November during which Hamas freed about half of the 250 Israeli and other national hostages seized in a surprise attack into Israel in October. During that exchange, Israel released 240 Palestinians from its jails.

    Jarek: Refugee camps are being targeted. This is total war, just as prescribed in Deuteronomy.

      900 years is still a long ass time though to stay in someone’s country. Even 20 years but not as bad as 900…That gives these groups plenty of time to breed and increase a population of their own.

    There is a commenter here who has named a specific date on which Biden will be gone and will not be replaced by Kamala Harris. Sometime in the summer like June or July but definitely before the Dem convention in August. I’d like to find that comment and show it to my wife.

    I don’t know the rationale for the commenter’s contention that Biden would be gone.

    Can someone help me out with this? Date and time of the comment?

          I found the prediction on the internet. Apparently it was not made by a commenter unless a commenter was quoting someone else.

          Here is what I found: A guy named Jim Rickards predicts that Biden will announce on June 13 that he is dropping out of the presidential campaign. He (Biden) will provide a reason such as health reasons.

          He will state that he is not resigning the presidency. This is all part of a scheme to have Gavin Newsome named as the Dem party’s candidate at the convention in August. Younger, handsome, etc., but, according to Rickards, dumber and more dangerous than Biden.

          Then, Trump will narrowly win the presidency. Biden will resign the presidency after the election and Kamala Harris will take over, becoming the first female president but only briefly for a month or two until Trump takes office.

          As president Kamala will pardon Joe Biden and his son and any other Dem’s who might need pardoning. There was no mention of who would be Newsome’s running mate.

          All of this will create great Chaos which will allow some to make big money during a “Chaos Rally.”

            Will they come up with some convoluted pardon where it will cover everyone, or where they will figure out who qualifies after the fact?

            Perhaps they will pardon anyone associated with COVID misconduct, and anyone in government who abused their authority, and blame it on the madness of the moment?

    UN World Food Program director warns there is “full-blown famine” in northern Gaza

    The director of the United Nations World Food Program has warned that northern Gaza is currently in the throes of a “full-blown famine” that is spreading to the southern part of the country as Israel’s blockade and relentless bombing campaign on the enclave continues.

    This is according to Cindy McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, who serves as the head of the World Food Program. Speaking to NBC News, she explained that famine is not unusual in a war scenario and that a ceasefire would provide humanitarian organizations with access to give the people of Gaza the help they so urgently need.

    “What I can explain to you is – is that there is famine – full-blown famine – in the north, and it’s moving its way south. And so, what we’re asking for, and what we’ve continually asked for, is for a ceasefire and the ability to have unfettered access,” she said.

    Why is the U.S. still supporting this?

    Despite these declarations, the U.S. continues to provide support to Israel as Palestinians in Gaza starve to death. Biden continues to ship weapons to Israel and refuses to work on a ceasefire if it does not involve a hostage release despite an American law that prohibits the U.S. from providing military assistance to countries that are blocking humanitarian assistance deliveries.

    So far, nearly 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in the attacks on Gaza that have been carried out by Israel since October 7. Countless more have gone missing under the rubble of demolished buildings, and it is not known how many will perish due to malnutrition as a result of the blockade and siege.

          How about they have no industry, no goods, no products they produce, not enough farmland, farmers, and are a welfare state.
          Not everyone can be a jihadi or brood mare for Jihad.
          Might want to teach them kids something other than hate and the koran.

          These idiots clamor for a state of their own with no way to actually support themselves so instead rely on the world and more specifically Israel to feed them.

          The world is fickle at best just look at how Many African nations had people dropping dead of starvation all over.
          Many charity groups tried to help. Flash forward after all this effort and they are still dropping dead all over Africa of thirst and starvation.
          When they are not starving, they are murdering each other.

          This collective group of idiots support the group that attacks the one country actually engaged in doing something for them and then cheers about all the murdered Israelis while passing out candy and treats.

          None of the dishonest hand wringing HAMAS apologists on this site want to discuss the country they accuse of genocide is also the one of the few doing the heavy lifting to keep these people alive.
          It’s not like the living conditions in this pitiful country were all that great to begin with.
          Well, they attacked Israel and look these people start to starve and who’s fault is this? Start with the people calling them Palestinians and then Hamas.
          How do we as a race stop this kind of shit?

          Hold Hamas responsible for starting a war, stealing most of the food and water and generally being stupid fucktards.

          Then Hamas doubles down on stupid by rocket attacking a pier being put in for the alleged purpose of “feeding” them.

          We also see and hear how even when charity groups come in to help the supplies brought in are stolen often at gunpoint by Hamas and the people get very little of this humanitarian aid.

    • TruthSeeker1986 May 8, 2024 at 5:44 pm #

      @OG

      I honestly think the reason no one is even trying to stop this is because they are all scared of Israel at this point…I’d bet money that Israel have black mail evidence on all these stupid assholes in this country so they are going to just keep supporting them no matter what. Trump would honestly do the same if all of this was going on while he was still running the country. They can easily just impeach Biden but won’t do that either.

      That’s the main reason WHY they will not stop, and WHY they keep supporting Israel. They are scared of them. There’s no other explanation behind why the people running this country is supporting this one other country regardless of what they do. If anyone else was doing this, the U.S. wouldn’t be so quick to let their reputation get wrecked defending and helping them.

      But they don’t care about people starving the death. They’ll just “make up” for it by bringing the ones here that don’t end up dead and let the pissed off Muslims take out their frustration and rage on ordinary citizens since none of them is going to attempt attacking anyone in DC responsible for their own getting killed, starved, and displaced to begin with.

      I also wonder what would happen if Hamas just release all the hostages they have, will this put an end to the war or will Bibi just say “fuck you, I still want all of Gaza anyway,” and keep on killing regardless if they release hostages.

        I don’t see anything changing in the US, unless, and until, we have major issues here, that are linked to the conflict, like if we have oil shortages like 1973 or 1979.

        Don’t hold your breath.

        It is more likely for the US to internally collapse or break down into Civil War (not because of Palestine/Israel) before the US government stops its “ironclad” support of Israel.

      Israel is an ally. In 1948 at the beginning of the Cold War many people thought a newly established Israel would side with the Soviet Union. Stalin, for one was surprised and peeved when Israel casts its lot with the USA.

      We’ve done more to help France than any other country, perhaps to show our gratitude for France’s help in the Revolutionary War. Most of the Bonaparte family headed here after Napolean lost at Waterloo, and Napolean himself was headed this way before being captured by the British. France bankrupted itself with its Panama Canal project; the US stepped in and with financial aid made France whole again, and took over and completed the canal. In 1918 & 1944 with a tremendous outlay of blood & treasure the US saved France from German occupation. Then, in 1954, after the French Army got its ass kicked in Vietnam at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, Ike said to DeGaulle “Step aside, we’ll take it from here.”

      Compared to what we’ve done for France, aid to Israel doesnt amout to much. France is who you should be mad at, not Israel.

            16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

            18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
            19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

            The fact-checkers work for/in the same pyramid as does Bibi.

            Of course, I cannot personally possibly say with any certainty that he said that much-attributed quote … but the shoe sure does fit.

            ***
            The claim:
            Benjamin Netanyahu, employed at the time as a Soviet agent, in a covert conversation taped in 1990 @ Finks Bar in Jerusalem, a well known Mossad hangout. Taken directly from the transcript of the recording, which was witnessed and has been 100% fully authenticated.

            ***
            I was actually looking for another of Bibi’s quotes. The one that goes [paraphrased]:

            “Don’t worry about the US government. They work for us. We control them. We own them. They will do whatever we tell them to do.”

You know, we were *ONLY* giving Israel something like $4 billion a year for the past few decades – but recently, we seem to be tossing them $16 billion/$26 billion here and there, but apparently we’ve held up a bunch of 1-ton/quarter-ton *DUMB* bombs…

    “…metaphorically punch you in the face.” ~ elysianfield, upthread (May 8, 2024 at 11:18 am)

    That’s exactly it: The State punches you in the face. Often, literally, or with its threat. Just ask the Palestinians.
    But of course, down a sufficient timeline, the State victims who survive ultimately have a word with Mom Nature who then steps in to punch the Statists in the faces, etc., thus, usually, collapsing societies, if not the species as the end game. The collapses are the falls from all those punches.

    Suddenly, I am reminded of this passage:

    “There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
    If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.”

Once i Found out that every year my taxes goes to them…..It’s easy to feel responsible for all the stuff that’s happening.

      IMHO, the apartment and even the single family markets have been distorted by the “tourist syndrome”. I first noticed this in the ski areas in Colorado. Tourists especially rich ones, love second homes and AirBNBs. California has been struck by this for decades and are spreading it over the West. Richees and vacationers pay big $ for them driving the price up locally in service sector areas that do not make much.

      The government’s solution? Increase the service sector minimum wage which inflates everything.

    @Q. Shtik:

    Old English… is the earliest recorded form of the English language, spoken in England and southern and eastern Scotland in the early Middle Ages. It developed from the languages brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the mid-5th century, and the first Old English literary works date from the mid-7th century. After the Norman Conquest of 1066, English was replaced for several centuries by Anglo-Norman (a type of French) as the language of the upper classes. This is regarded as marking the end of the Old English era, since during the subsequent period the English language was heavily influenced by Anglo-Norman, developing into what is now known as Middle English in England and Early Scots in Scotland.

    Old English developed from a set of Anglo-Frisian or Ingvaeonic dialects originally spoken by Germanic tribes traditionally known as the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. As the Germanic settlers became dominant in England, their language replaced the languages of Roman Britain: Common Brittonic, a Celtic language; and Latin, brought to Britain by the Roman conquest. Old English had four main dialects, associated with particular Anglo-Saxon kingdoms: Kentish, Mercian, Northumbrian, and West Saxon. It was West Saxon that formed the basis for the literary standard of the later Old English period, although the dominant forms of Middle and Modern English would develop mainly from Mercian, and Scots from Northumbrian. The speech of eastern and northern parts of England was subject to strong Old Norse influence due to Scandinavian rule and settlement beginning in the 9th century. ” ~ Wikipedia

            Is it actually intelligence or terrible public schooling designed to dumb people down?

            I have seen some of the testing material they gave to various grades over a 100 years ago and have zero doubt most college grads in the last forty years could actually pass some of these mid grade school tests.

            Most people are uneducable in the deep sense since they aren’t really interested – even if they have the requisite IQ. They lack the taste for real knowledge (how things connect) and thus have no taste.

            It’s both. You’re right, the grading parameters have been lowered on purpose, as it has to to allow the free-pass affirmative action students to get their degrees, and the lower levels have also been trashed, but the original university syllabi is night and day in difficulty to what it is now.

            It was meant for highly intelligent young men who (as Jarek correctly notes) were also highly motivated and driven.

            I suppose if it gets bad enough and there’s far less surplus to go around, such as to support university education and/or AI/internet/bitcoin mining, then the problem might take care of itself in a sense and those who might have a harder time with practical stuff can stick with abstractions n’ esoterics and vice-versa.

    “The Trudeau regime has introduced an Orwellian new law called the Online Harms Bill C-63, which will give police the power to retroactively search the Internet for ‘hate speech’ violations and arrest offenders, even if the offence occurred before the law existed.

    This new bill is aimed at safeguarding the masses from so-called “hate speech.”

    Revolver.news reports: The real shocker in this bill is the alarming retroactive aspect. Essentially, whatever you’ve said in the past can now be weaponized against you by today’s draconian standards.

    Historian Dr. Muriel Blaive has weighed in on this draconian law, labeling it outright “mad.” She points out how it literally spits in the face of all Western legal traditions, especially the one about only being punished if you infringed on a law that was valid at the time of committing a crime.”

        BRH,

        As a Canadian, of course this is disturbing, though, from Trudeau, not surprising.

        Just to put it in perspective, though, the ruling Liberals have a minority gov’t, with cratering popularity. They need support from other political parties to push this proposed draconian legislation through, and there’s no way the Conservatives or even the NDP will vote in his favour on this, especially with an election looming.

    Someone upthread commented on cannibalism being talked about.

    Why this is popping up all over I don’t know but I noticed it as well.

    It has now popped up in a daily oddity e-mail I get.

    I had heard it was called long pig or ham in a loose translation from some pacific rim tribe.

    • BackRowHeckler May 9, 2024 at 11:07 am #

      That was me I think, Ben. Apparently cannibalism remains a ritualistic practice in parts of Africa. That’s not to say that the WEF, after encouraging us to eat insects, will move on to encouraging us to eat each other in order to “Combat Global Warming”.

      After all “Soylent Green is people.”

      • stelmosfire May 9, 2024 at 12:23 pm #

        The movie “Soylent Green” came out in 1973, just over 50 years ago. It depicts the future world of 2022. A quick plot synopsis reads:

        “By 2022,the cumulative effects of overpopulation, global warming, and pollution have caused ecocide, leading to severe worldwide shortages of food, water, and housing, bringing human civilization to the brink of collapse. New York City has a population of 40 million, and only the elite can afford spacious apartments, clean water, and natural food in walled-off communities patrolled by armed guards,”

        Sounds like they were just a few years shy of calling the future.I was in 10th grade in ’73. Our science teacher took us on a field trip to the local theater (before it was torn down for a parking lot) to see it.
        We walked to the movie from school. I remember that trip fondly.At the time our high school was so crowded that we were running double sessions.9-10th grades rang in at 12:30 and got released at 5:30 in the evening. I liked those hours. When I was in 12th grade I got out of school at 12:15 in the afternoon and was able to do a short night shift at the foundry from 4-10 PM. $3.65 an hour but much more with piece-work. I was rolling in dough.

        It also used to be a ritual in New Guinea and maybe still is in some isolated rare spots. I think it was kinda stopped in the modern age because you can get that disease Kuru from eating other people. If that really is where everything is going then I guess I will start digging in the ground for roots and plants. The idea is just ick.

        • benr May 9, 2024 at 12:49 pm #

    I lost my little fur baby last night. Some might remember me mentioning how he had seizures and I had to medicate him and it was a real struggle. So a little light heartedness is a good thing. I typically see ghosts of my animals after they’ve passed for a few days or weeks after. Sometimes I hear them moving around or meowing for a while too. I mentioned to my mom this and she just looked at me but then this morning she told me that she did experience something. I don’t ever say I told ya so. I find that particular phrase to be abrasive and uninviting for conversation.

    Sorry you weren’t able to see the Irish entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. I looked elsewhere, but all the articles led back to YouTube, so no joy. Not that there was any joy to be had, as it was full-on demonic, not that any of the write-ups even mentioned that. I don’t watch Eurovision, but UKC featured the Irish entry at the start of News Extra (members only, so I can’t link to that either!), with the obvious question, ‘what the heck has happened to Ireland?’ The Eurovision Song Contest used to be people like Abba and Sandie Shaw.

    Anyway, for something more wholesome, I’ve just watched this 1-hour documentary called ‘Once upon a lockdown’, which is awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone who is into Ireland/Irish storytelling.

      How Thousands of Black Behaviors Changed My View of Race

      Anonymous Briton, American Renaissance, May 5, 2024

      My childhood was filled with adventures in treehouses on sunny days and playing hide-and-seek with my brother in the woods and hedgerows of the English countryside. At bedtime, the exploits of Badger, Mole, Ratty, and Toad of The Wind in the Willows brought the day to an end. I had loving parents who always put my welfare and happiness first.

      I didn’t meet a black person until the age of seven. On the rare occasions I did meet one, they were polite and unassuming. My upbringing did not prepare me for encounters with entitled, ill-mannered, and hostile blacks.

      My hometown, on the outskirts of London, was a slice of middle-class English life. It was clean, tidy, quiet, and vaguely bucolic, before the mayhem of multicultural London arrived in later years.

      The first murder in decades shocked my town. A young white man was stabbed by his neighbor, a black recidivist. The victim’s girlfriend had reported the neighbor to authorities repeatedly for harassment and playing loud reggae music. The 11-inch knife pierced the young man’s lung, heart, and spine. He died in his girlfriend’s arms with Bob Marley wailing in the background. The sentence was 22 years, reduced to 20 years on appeal. The punishment I would impose is unprintable.

      Throughout my five decades, I have witnessed much black behavior — thousands of incidents, ranging from trivial inconveniences to attempted murder. Working in London retail management for 25 years earned me a PTSD diagnosis and an abiding dislike of blacks and their propensity for unpredictable, spiteful violence.

      I have been spat at; sneezed into my face; sworn at; accused of racism; called a liar; had my parents insulted, manhandled, and racially abused; had my life threatened; been a victim of armed robbery; and been physically attacked by blacks.

      The repertoire of behaviors I observed is worthy of an article in Anthropology Today. Spontaneous aggression, violent unpredictability, and sexualized behavior are par for the course. But you really haven’t known disgust until you’ve seen one of them emptying the contents of his nostrils and throat onto the pavement. The manner in which they do it is almost as offensive as the errant mucous.

      The slightly more “respectable” blacks are little better: pampered, status-obsessed, and dim-witted. They delight in belittling or humiliating white people, especially where they have the upper hand in the interaction, such as in a customer service context. It’s physically and mentally exhausting dealing with them.

      Despite this onslaught, I originally believed their behaviors were caused by racism, slavery, and poverty. Most of my customers and colleagues were white, and at the end of each day, I escaped the chaos to my super-majority-white hometown.

      The scales fell from my eyes when I was promoted and began working in an “enriched” area of North London. Most of my customers and colleagues were now black. The unrelenting hostility and verbal abuse were stupefying. The main point of contention was my white skin. My blue eyes, good manners, and accent were also regularly denigrated.

      One encounter will stay with me to the end of my days. A black man, just released from prison, attacked me while I was at work. In the struggle, I looked into his jaundiced eyes. I saw no symphonies, poetry, honor, or empathy. The devil was staring back at me.

      The unceasing, overwhelming hatred and dysfunction of blacks shattered my liberal values and middle-class conditioning. Repatriation and separation beckon. Fences make good neighbors, but I want walls, oceans, and mountains between us.

      A Stone Age people, with no civilizational achievements, are incompatible with us. They are fundamentally different, and we should stop expecting them to conform to our standards.

      The Wind in the Willows, the classic children’s novel I grew up with, is a unique expression of English and of wider European culture. Every layer of my society is now occupied by hostile blacks and other non-whites who care little for the adventures of my anthropomorphic countrymen. The weasels of Wild Wood have taken over Toad Hall, and we will need a very large stick if we are to overcome them.

      Jarek: I thought you were insulting me by calling me the Mayor of Toad Hall. Now I know better. But in any case, the little faeries of Shakespeare and later English literature must grow into full size Elven warriors of Tolkien. And the Christian lambs must grow long of leg and grow curved horns.

      It’s Pagan times now. Time for the dominance of the male sphere in all of its power.

      • GreenAlba May 9, 2024 at 2:29 pm #

        I didn’t call you the Mayor of Toad Hall. I called you a lying toad, which is just a bit of English idiom for someone who tells untruths repeatedly and breaks the Commandment about not bearing false witness.

        I’m afraid the times have never been more Christian. ‘Tis written, as OG would say. Many will fall away into paganism, of course, as is also written.

        But I get that you are 100% pagan and that the Catholic veneer is of no consequence. I said so years ago. I’m glad you don’t even pretend anymore.

        Of course, you could have just enjoyed the documentary that I recommended to you, in a perfectly friendly manner. I genuinely thought you might enjoy it, but most of me knew how you would respond. I won’t waste my time again, but hopefully Paula and her husband will enjoy it.

        • GreenAlba May 9, 2024 at 2:42 pm #

          Last night I watched the DVD of Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005). As you know, she, her brother, Hans, and their friend, Chrisoff Probst (who lhad two toddlers and a newborn baby at the time), were leading members of The White Rose, in Munich, during the dystopian horrors of the Third Reich.

          They were Christians. Probst was baptised into the RC church just before he was beheaded by the Nazi scum. As you know, they were all beheaded. The were non-violent, but it was their Christianity that made them stand up for what was right. There is nothing ‘feminine’ about men or women standing up for the truth and facing the guillotine because of it.

          • Jarek May 9, 2024 at 2:49 pm #

            If Christians didn’t fight the invaders, we’d all be speaking Arabic, Turkish, Berber, or Mongolian.

            Paula and her husband, Hans, think that White, Christian nations have no more in common than any other nations. Thus Somali Muslims are no worse immigrants to Sweden than say, Irishmen. Or Poles to Ireland Or Irish to Scotland. Given your response to this gripping first hand account, you are no smarter than Paula.

            And you remain a lying scumbag. You pretend not to remember my warning that leaving the EU would lead to an increase in non-European immigration to the UK, which happened, in spades. Just as you pretend not to remember my saying that it seemed a much better idea to stick with migrant Catholic Poles.

            Agreed re toads, benr. I was thinking that …

            Yes, they did guillotine people. The protagonist in Alone in Berlin (based on an actual person) was also guillotined, for distributing anti-Nazi messages. Not sure why they’d choose the guillotine, as it would require a lot more cleaning up than hanging. Sophie Scholl was guillotined at 5pm on the day of her ‘trial’. Her brother was guillotined at 5h02 and their friend, Christoff, at 5h05. I don’t know if there were 3 guillotines or if the reality was even more grisly.

            Of course, straightforward hanging wasn’t enough in certain cases. Stauffenberg and his helpers were hanged slowly with piano wire, from butcher’s hooks, with the deaths filmed for Hitler’s subsequent delectation. Jarek’s hero.

          • Jarek May 9, 2024 at 4:14 pm #

            Yeah and look at Germany now! As predicted. See William Joyce’s, Darkness Over Britain. He was hung as a traitor and in his last words defied the Jews.

            I admire Sophie Scholl and would like to see that movie. I see goodness in many things, as did one of my heroes, the divine Jewess, Simone Weil. She saw good in the Nazis without being one. She almost converted to Catholicism but demurred in the end: Too Jewish!

            Brother AI tells the tale:

            Simone weil, catholicism is too jewish

            Simone Weil, a French philosopher and mystic, had a complex relationship with Catholicism. According to some accounts, she was on the verge of becoming a Catholic communicant, but ultimately withdrew due to her perception that Catholicism was “too Jewish.” This perception was rooted in her belief that Catholicism had not fully purged itself of the “abomination of Israel,” referring to the Old Testament and its perceived Jewish influences.

            Weil’s critique of Catholicism was not a rejection of its teachings, but rather a desire to see it purified of what she saw as Jewish influences. This critique was rooted in her own spiritual journey, which was marked by a deep sense of compassion and a desire to transcend the boundaries of her own identity.

            In her own words, Weil believed that Catholicism had failed to fully distinguish itself from the Jewish tradition, and that this failure was a barrier to her own spiritual growth. This perception was not unique to Weil, as many Christian mystics and theologians have grappled with the relationship between Christianity and Judaism throughout history.

            It is worth noting that Weil’s critique of Catholicism was not a rejection of her own Jewish heritage, but rather a desire to transcend the boundaries of her own identity and connect with a deeper sense of spirituality. Her spiritual journey was marked by a deep sense of compassion and a desire to understand the mysteries of the universe.

            Well, yeah, look all you like. Aryan pagan shit was never going to lead anywhere good.

            I’ll stick to reading Simone Weil herself, rather than some AI bot, thanks. I’ve just bought La personne et le sacré.

            She has come into my mind a few times in the last few years, most recently in an interview with a female comedian, Tania Edwards, who said she writes like an angel. Some divine French – what more could one ask for? I was supposed to read her as a student but never got round to it.

            There are rumours that she was actually baptised before she died. Although baptism is only an outward sign of an inner change.

            Your obsession with Jewishness is tedious.

            The actual and practical problem with guillotines is that they have to be constantly maintained, especially if you’re using them in an industrial capacity (e.g. the French Revolution).

    The Israeli Authorities continue to deny humanitarian access to the United Nations.

    Just this week, they have denied – for the second time- my entry to Gaza where I planned to be with our
    @UNRWA
    teams including those on the front lines.

    The past while recorded an increase in the denial of humanitarian access & attacks on humanitarian workers and convoys.

    Only in the past 2 weeks, we have recorded 10 incidents involving shooting at convoys, arrests of UN staff including bullying, stripping them naked, threats with arms & long delays at checkpoints forcing convoys to move during the dark or abort.

    These incidents happen repeatedly at the time we are engaged in a race against the clock to avert famine in #Gaza. It also creates fear among courageous & committed humanitarian teams.

    Since the beginning of the war, the U.N. including UNRWA & other humanitarian personnel, premises and operations have been blatantly disregarded.

    Today, Palestinian armed groups launched rockets at the Kerem Shalom crossing causing its closure. It is used for most humanitarian deliveries.

    I demand an independent investigation & accountability for the blatant disregard of humanitarian workers, operations, and facilities, all protected under international law.

    To do otherwise would set a dangerous precedent and compromise humanitarian work around the world.

    I call on the Israeli Authorities to facilitate humanitarian access across the Gaza Strip including to the north.
    I also call on Hamas and other armed groups to stop any attacks on humanitarian crossings, refrain from aid diversion and make sure assistance reaches all those in need.

    The denial of humanitarian access is a violation of humanitarian law.

    Jarek: Both sides are doing it? Or is that the Israelis pretending to be Hamas? Fucked up in any case. It could be Hamas too I suppose, using the famine to increase pressure on Israel.

    • SoftStarLight May 9, 2024 at 1:58 pm #

      Civilian human shields are an unfortunate and cruel aspect of war. The war needs to stop and an immediate ceasefire on all sides needs to happen in order to save the people within Gaza.

    • BackRowHeckler May 9, 2024 at 3:26 pm #

      Famine in Gaza? Let me get this straight; Hamas initiates a war with a surprise attack against a more powerful neighbor, but it did so without making any provisions for its civilian population, no food stockpiled, no fresh water, no medical supplies put aside for what could be a long war? Are they morons? I mean how stupid can you get? What was their operational plan for the war they triggered? Hope overweight coeds protesting at Columbia wearing Kaffiyeras would send them some ‘Culturally Appropriate Meals?” WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE WAR PLAN?

      • OG May 9, 2024 at 5:13 pm #

        You can’t seem to get ANYTHING straight, Heckler. I’ve been telling you for months now that 10/7 was obviously a Bibi false flag. Bibi wanted this war. Bibi wanted Gaza. Bibi funds Hamas. Bibi had the IDF inexplicably stand down for 10+ hours. Bibi shifted the music festival there.

        “How stupid can you get?” Indeed.

        ***
        Setting aside the obvious false flag that was 10/7, you seem to be arguing:

        “Hamas are really dumb. Therefore it is ok for Israel to commit war crimes against innocent Palestinian civilians.”

        Shame on you. May God have mercy on your soul.

        • GreenAlba May 9, 2024 at 5:42 pm #

          Indeed. Bibi funds Hamas, just as the US funds ISIS. Just as the UK funded Mussolini and the UK/US funded the Bolscheviks, then the Nazis. Just as NATO ran Operation Gladio.

    SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: Giant sunspot AR3664 has now hurled at least four CMEs directly toward Earth. Their combined arrival this weekend could spark severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storms with mid- to low-latitude auroras. Although this is a potentially significant space weather event, it is not going to be the next Carrington Event. If the coming storm were a hurricane, it would be ranked category 4, not category 5.

    Pressed by a coalition of Canadian groups, including Cosh, “Trudeau has admitted that Canada has authorized military exports to Israel after October 7. Official Ottawa tried to blunt the stunning volte-face by suggesting that the permits were limited to non-lethal equipment.”
    In Feb., Cosh obtained export data showing the Trudeau government had approved 28.5 million Canadian dollars in new permits during the opening of the Gaza offensive.
    Hmmm, glass houses?

    JAZ

    Not at all, JAZ. I DESPISE Trudeau, believe that he should be hung for treason and am completely opposed to sending Israel a single beaver-backed nickel.

    Perish the thought the Candian government is helping murder them poor Hamas loving people long suffering under the loving yoke of Sharia law.?Say it ain’t so!? Guess Canada is now ruled by them pesky Israeli lobbyist as well. Clutch at them pearls.

    Arguing with you is so exasperating. You’re a hawk that runs on little more than a series of bad assumptions.

    You “think” that because I am Canadian and critical of US foreign policy, I must think that the Canadian government is holier than thou.

    Bad assumption. Again. I don’t think that at all. [Hint: We’d be better served if you argue against what I say rather what you “think” that I think. D’uh.]

    Of course the Bank of Canada is run by the Rothschilds. Of course Prime Minister Trudeau and Finance Minister Freeland are WEFers. We all know that … or at least I thought that we did.

    Yes Canada is run by the same evil people that run all of the West. D’uh.

      CFNers, the headline of the week, from Zero Hedge.

      “Princeton Hunger Strikers Complain the University is not Monitoring their Vital Signs”

      These are Princeton students putting it all on the line for Gaza. Tuition at Princeton is $80,000 per year. These Revolutionaries vow not to eat until their demands are met lol. When Che Guevara — a real revolutionary– was fighting Portugese troops in Angola, was he worried about his Vital Signs? It makes me doubt these college students, most of whom are overweight coeds who could stand to miss a few meals anyway, are committed to the Palestinian cause. Meanwhile at Emory College, Student Protesters will accept donated meals, but they must be ‘Culturally Appropriate’ non GMO, specially prepared meals. And anything other than Avanti mineral water will be be turned away.

    You can rest easy. Iran will not build or deploy a nuclear weapon.

    Khamenei, who has the final say in Tehran’s nuclear program, banned the development of nuclear weapons in a fatwa, or religious edict, in the early 2000s.

    He reiterated that in 2019, saying that building and stockpiling nuclear bombs was “wrong and using it is haram,” or religiously forbidden

    See? It is the same as cursing, fornication, or eating pork.

        • OG May 9, 2024 at 10:25 pm #

          Of course everyone has access to gold and silver today. But, more importantly, and from a macroeconomic perspective, the world needs to trade in gold-backed currencies. Currently the world trades in phoney-bologna fiat ass-wipe and that facilitates the pinnacle of the pyramid unjustly snarfing all the wealth (from those that actually produce it) with their legalized counterfeiting.

            A few items, OG.

            The world has a network of gold bullion banks that nations use to trade in gold, large quantities. It has been infected.

            What I mean is that some of the trades for gold have been done with, ready?,US Treasuries, the debt that will never be paid. So we really do not know what gold is owned by who or whether it exists at all. The valuation oof gold is probably a guessing game.

            The Greenback is probably more accurately valued against the value of oil, instead of gold. Or maybe even water. Roosevelt took everyone’s gold away, Nixon devalued the dollar and removed gold as its standard. Gold is more inflated than oil, is $34 to $2400 dollars. Oil is say $4/barrel to $90/barrel. Wonder what would happen if the Fed made gold be worth $34 again.

            JHK said it well in WMBH. When the SHTF, gold will be a rare metal with a few uses, as there will be no monetary system. Barter will be the main course of commerce. People’s value will be based on their skills. Digitation of anything will be gone.

            The dollar bill represents what?

            A certain amount of labor? Yes

            A certain amount of Gold? Hmmm.

            Or does it represent the labor that it takes to produce a certain amount of gold.

            Gold is a rock, the only thing that gives it value is the faith of people.

            Gold has many uses, but that does not set its value. Same with oil, or silver or rubber, it is the amount of labor to produce that sets the value.

            Uh-huh? Until the Deep State removed that connection. The Dollar today is not even connected to labor, its value is set by a market based on faith. When people lose the faith, the dollar loses it value.

            A good example, a house.

            What does it cost to build a house, materials. Labor and overhead? $100000? Maybe. So why do houses cost many times more than that. The value is set by the faith that people have in its value. Supply and Demand help set the price, but markets can take off because the people are just willing to pay more.

            Think about what will happen when the faith disappears, the value drops to “real” values based on labor content only.

            That was the Great Depression, deflation dropped the value of everything. That was the 2008 debacle in real estate.

            It is what will happen when the value of a dollar drops to near zero, hyperinflation happens then the collapse of the faith in the dollar.

            Barter and labor will again rule the economy.

            “Gold is a rock, the only thing that gives it value is the faith of people.”

            Faith in gold is from the fact it is does not appear in your hand solely through faith. It takes resources, time, labor and faith.

    @JohnAZ

    Well if that’s the case what will all these Elite’s do? We both know they don’t do shit at all related to any kind of labor work. I’ve done some security work but I’ll never do that again because of all the assaults and attacks I dealt with. I worked in trash sorting which is recycling through garbage for recyclable items on an assembly line which was a filthy nasty job I had to quit because of health reasons and I couldn’t tolerate having to shower every damn day and washing my clothes every day either, plus it was just unsanitary as hell.

    I think returning back to the pioneer days is going to make a lot of people pissed off. Add on top of the fact people have already lost everything in countries that failed horribly bad, think Venezuela for instance. And 99% of all the African nations, Haiti, third world asian countries etc.

    Did the people take up farming and doing skillful based stuff to make ends meet in these areas of the world? Maybe a small portion of them but not the vast majority of the population. Look at Japan as an example of this, they have old towns where young people have abandoned them. They have no interest in that farm life shit and just head straight to the cities. Therefore you have a lot of old aging towns in Japan with no young people, just elderly folks because the young can’t stand living in those areas.

    Then you have all the people coming here who did nothing to fix conditions in their own countries. If the U.S. dollar is going to collapse and they are purposely trying to collapse their own country, what is the damn point in even doing that if it’ll affect the stupid idiots causing it? What will they do, join Brics themselves?

    What this means is that with all these third worlders fleeing here trying to escape failed nations. Labor won’t mean shit when the U.S. can’t import or get it’s hands on stuff that you can usually buy in stores or order online. You can’t grow everything in the ground, and no one wants to live like they are still in the pioneer days. I sure as fuck don’t.

    In this day and age it would be very hard to live like that and I doubt the wealthy types will…I think what we are going to end up with is a nation full of violent pissed off people both citizens and third worlders raising hell everywhere. These people came from failed nations that already collapsed, and did nothing to fix it, let alone tried living like they were still in the olden days of their ancestors if they had any….They fled here, to Europe. Now everywhere is turning into the third world.

      Plus OG said “they are very smart” I don’t know how destroying your own country makes you smart….Sounds extremely moronic and idiotic to me…The Roman’s did this and how did that work out for them? Their Empire fell and now they are nothing. Once an empire falls there’s no coming back from that. I think the major reason why Biden and everyone involved in sabotaging America and Europe as well as destroying Canada.

      They are all doing this because the majority of them are already old and decrepit. They don’t give a shit because they won’t have to live here much longer. Biden isn’t worried about America collapsing, the guy is almost pushing 80 or 90 if he isn’t already. Soros doesn’t give a shit if Europe falls or if America falls either, he’s a 90 year old cockroach that hate everything and destroys for the sake of destroying. And then you have the ignorant women who become leaders and wreck nations just to prove how “virtuous” they are. I think they are all so old and sick of living, they want to take us down before they all die.
