The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. — Marcus Aurelius

Low Down on the Showdown
Threat to “our democracy?” The effrontery! In a fair and just world, the Democratic Party of Chaos would slouch into the donkey’s graveyard — but since when is the USA part of a fair and just world?
Emily Oster’s Plea Bargain
Shuck-and-jive from America’s broken thinking class, the people who pretend to know better than everybody else.
Cockamamie Story
All the narratives spun by the Party of Chaos are falling apart now, but this final fiasco, a mere week before the midterm election, is a humdinger with a cherry-on-top.
An Election, If You Can Hold It
The death of the faithless state is as natural and lovely as a melting snowflake…All the broken things will start to be fixed. And all the crazy things will go away, immediately. —another one from Curtis Yarvin
Chaos Is As Chaos Does
When this future becomes the present, that present will look obvious. It always does. And from that present, this past we are living in will look ridiculous…. — Curtis Yarvin
The Authorities Are Our Enemies
The people who run things in this country don’t deserve your respect or allegiance. They are at war with you. They want you and your children dead.
American Inquisition
The thinking classes in America want to emulate the theocratic lunacy of the Sixteenth Century. They have become everything they used to despise as cruel, unjust, and crazy.
We’re Coming For You
Slip slidin’ away… Slip slidin’ away… You know the nearer your destination… The more you’re slip slidin’ away…. —Paul Simon
You Can Always Dream
Last night I had a dream… Everyone that I knew… And everyone that you know was in my dream… I saw a vampire… I saw a ghost… Everybody scared me but you scared me the most… In the dream I had last night… — Randy Newman
KunstlerCast 364 — Wild Western Civ Shoot-out with Tom Luongo
Who blew up Nord Stream? Which country is on whose side? The midterm election looms. Global lunacy rises… a shoot-out of ideas about the global game-board.
November Surprise?
Can you picture what will be? So limitless and free… Desperately in need of some stranger’s hand… In a desperate land…. — The Doors
Developing Developments
“Joe Biden” screws the pooch on Western Civ. He can’t help himself. His helpers can’t help him. Who will help us?
Slouching Toward Endgame
“There is a dark craving for rot… as if decay were an escape from the limits, the oppressive fears and the pains of an individual existence.” — Eric Hoffer
This Is the Way the World Ends
Feel like we’re on the ragged edge of something new and awful? You are not alone….
“Joe Biden’s” Last Stand
That thing that many of you have worried about, and some of you have prepared for — well, it’s here. We’re in it now.
KunstlerCast 363 — Chatting with Jacob Dreizin of the Dreizin Report
My guest, Jacob Dreizen, a new face on the blogging scene… His commentary can be found at www.thedreizinreport.com and his Rumble and Odysee channels….
A Walk on the Wild Side
The Leftist system is not meant to produce political stability or prosperity, and feels a lot like it is entering a death spiral. Getting the lunatics out of power, before they crash the entire West with no survivors, is the most urgent problem we face. — Eugyppius at Substack
Rope-a-Dope
A mighty struggle grinds on behind-the-scenes that may determine the fate of the “Joe Biden” regime and the Deep State horse it rode in on….
Is War What You Asked For?
Beware: Ukraine’s touted Kharkov offensive is probably not what the US news media cracks it up to be….
Here It Comes
The frolics of summer are done, the day shortens, the sky darkens, the suspense deepens….
Labor Day Assessment
Uncertainty rules at the top of our slide into the dark half of the year….

Living in The Long Emergency
Click for autographed copies from Battenkill Books
Global Crisis, the Failure of the Futurists, and the Early Adapters Who Are Showing Us the Way Forward
Forget the speculation of pundits and media personalities. For anyone asking “Now what?” the answer is out there. You just have to know where to look.
In his 2005 book, The Long Emergency, James Howard Kunstler described the global predicaments that would pitch the USA into political and economic turmoil in the 21st century—the end of affordable oil, climate irregularities, and flagging economic growth, to name a few. Now, he returns with a book that takes an up-close-and-personal approach to how real people are living now—surviving The Long Emergency as it happens.
Published by BenBella Books, Inc.
Too Much Magic
Wishful Thinking, Technology, and the Fate of the Nation
The nationally best-selling author of "The Long Emergency" expands on his alarming argument that our oil-addicted, technology-dependent society is on the brink of collapse—that the long emergency has already begun. Published by the Atlantic Monthly Press.
