A Smoldering Fuse

We have pretty much burned our bridges at this point. Unless you’re prepared to mindfuck yourself, and gaslight yourself, and confess, and convert, there’s no going back to “normal” society (which we couldn’t go back to anyway, on account of how it doesn’t exist anymore) — CJ Hopkins

Thirty-seven billion more dollars for Ukraine? (That’s thirty-seven thousand millions of dollars, by the way.) Bringing the total this year to a click-or-two over ninety billion (ninety-thousand millions), on top of whatever Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX company funneled through that sad-sack international money laundromat — soon to be the darkest backwater of a European failed state since Field Marshal Melchior von Hatzfeldt of Westphalia left Bohemia a corpse-strewn wasteland after the Battle of Jankau (1645).

    It really doesn’t matter how much more money we pound down that rat-hole, you understand, because by the time various parties — the weapons-makers, Volodymyr Zelensky, sundry members of the US House of Representatives, the Biden family, the World Economic Forum — are finished creaming off their fair shares, poor Ukraine won’t have enough cash-on-hand to replace six fuse-boxes in Zaporizhzhia.

    Against this backdrop, the USA enters a holiday season near-death spiral as unspooling scandals battle a collapsing economy for supremacy of the alt news sites. Case-in-point: the aforementioned FTX monkey business, a metastasizing tumor of the body politic. This complex fraud will smolder for a few weeks before it explodes into an extinction-grade event for the Democratic Party. The usual suspects among the mainstream media are trying strenuously to ignore it, but the shreds of this exploding money-borg are already sticking to guilty parties far and wide across the political landscape like so much rotting flesh.

      FTX commander-in-chief Sam Bankman-Fried remains at large after steering the crypto-currency trading platform into a bankruptcy so hideously tangled that the assigned liquidator in court proceedings, one John Ray III, who oversaw the Enron aftermath years ago, was boggled by what he’s found so far (and it’s early in the game): Namely, a company run by a handful of twenty-something drug freaks with no idea what they were doing, no record-keeping, and a slime trail of misappropriated investors’ funds leading to Kiev and Geneva through various crooked American political action committees, and the halls of Congress — with echos in ballot harvesting shenanigans which shaped the outcome of this month’s US elections.

     Mr. Bankman-Fried is still scheduled as a main speaker for Accenture’s Nov. 30 DealBook Conference in New York ($2,499 for a ticket), along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Odds on him showing up? Or even being alive elsewhere on this planet then?

     The Bankman-Fried extended family is the quintessence of Woke aristocracy. Dad Joe Bankman and mom Barbara Fried are both law professors at Stanford. She also acted as a money-bundler for the Democratic Party and ran two non-profit “voter registration” orgs (against the IRS laws which only permit non-partisan organized voter registration). Brother Gabe Bankman-Fried headed a non-profit named Guarding Against Pandemics (funded by Sam), which lobbies Congress to construct new platforms for medical tyranny. Aunt Linda Fried is Dean of Columbia U’s Public Health school, and is associated with Johns Hopkins, which ran the October 2019 Event 201 pandemic drill (sponsored by the Gates Foundation) months before the Covid-19 outbreak.

Sam’s girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, ran the Alameda Investments arm of the FTX empire (that is, FTX’s own money laundromat). Her dad, Glenn Ellison, is chair of MIT’s Econ School. His former colleague on the MIT Econ faculty, Gary Gensler, who specialized in blockchains there, is now head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, an agency that Sam Bankman-Fried was attempting to rope into a regulation scheme to eliminate FTX’s crypto-currency competitors. Caroline’s mom, Sara Fisher Ellison, is an MIT econ prof specializing in the pharmaceutical industry (fancy that!). Caroline Ellison is currently on-the-run.

     The sum total of all this professional and academic accomplishment is also the quintessence of Woke-Jacobin turpitude in service to a political faction that seeks maximum moneygrubbing while acting to overthrow every norm of behavior in the conduct of elections, and perhaps in American life generally. That’s some accomplishment. It’s also a lesson in why the managerial elite of our country are no longer trustworthy. They have gotten away with crimes against the nation for years, which has only made them bolder and more reckless.

     Wait for the FTX bankruptcy to unwind, along with all the political ramifications it entails, not to mention the financial afterburn in the whole crypto market, very likely extending into and befouling the rest of the banking system. This is going to be a clusterfuck for the ages, and will propel the USA into a depression with no visible horizon.

    as usual another short jhk masterpiece—

    • Say What November 18, 2022 at 10:08 am #

      I’ve heard it said: ” A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money”?
      It’s not their money, and they spend it as such!

      • JohnAZ November 18, 2022 at 10:30 am #

        Are you talking about our investment industry,

        Or our government?

        Wonder if Paul Pelosi has dealt with this jerk?

        • Alzaebo November 18, 2022 at 12:42 pm #

          As John AZ would say, “Mob” rule!

          The Frieds are part of a “cosa nostra”, as the Kagans are to the neocon wing.

            Clearly what JFK and RFK feared, an unholy matrimony between organized crime and the US federal government. There can ge no going back nor any divorce because dealings this dirty always end with blood in the streets.

            Of course, the guilty at the top can always toss a few unlucky losers into the fire to the squeals of the demented crowd, who, in the end, will return to their distractions and demented pastimes until the food runs out and they too are burned in the pyres of truth.

            It must be getting to me because I am actually starting to enjoy it. Of course, I would love to be totally wrong and see some good old fashion justice served and the criminal scumbags who sold us out tried and punished, but I don’t think I can hold my breath that long.

          • hotaters November 18, 2022 at 6:12 pm #

            Walter B, have you seen this? Worth mentioning here, and it’s related to what Mr. Kunstler is discussing here.

            Few days ago, saw mention of Glen Beck interviewing Whitney Webb on his podcast. Discussion centered on her two new books, “One Nation Under Blackmail.” I’ve been reading her work since she was at Mint Press News, and assumed the books would be a compilation of her stories, with some new material. Appears they are far more than that. The sort of books you buy hard copies so you can highlight, make notes, tag pages etc. I may wait to read them after the holidays, as they will occupy many winter evenings. Not a lot of time to bury my nose in books the next six weeks.

            Epstein was a money man; the Lolita Express and St James Island served to grease the money game and satisfy his own taste for teen girls. He did keep his game going for decades, unlike the FTX doofus.

          Paul “the Hammer” Pelosi? Nah! Clean as the pure driven snow!

      • hotaters November 18, 2022 at 6:10 pm #

        Hoping JHK is right about everything. That is, except the hardship the people of the U.S. will suffer as a consequence of the monumental CF the banksters, politicians, et. al. have perpetrated on us.

        They deserve to crash and burn. Sadly, they will probably take down a lot of us, along with them. Buckle up. The Establishment in the U.S. may have a day of reckoning soon. You can only screw over everyone and everything else in existence on your home planet before, sooner or later, it comes back to haunt you.

        The sick part is, there are plenty of resources to go around so that eveyrone could prosper, eat, get their basic needs met, plus some. But the psychopaths and sociopaths in power will not allow it.

        They have done everything in their power to enrich themselves at our expense. We have had the technology in existence to have virtually free and un-polluting energy for well over a hundred years.

        They poison everything they touch.

        If I were not a person of faith, I don’t know what I would do. Watching them try to torch everything in existence, even their own kin, is disheartening. This evil cannot continue forever. It cannot and will not.

          Go over to the CNBC site, home of “America’s leading business channel” — not one article, not one word about the FTX collapse; instead, upbeat reporting of the gay dating website Grindr’s IPO — it was successful! Pride flags lining Wall Street! FTX is yesterday’s news, Grindr is what’s happening today.

            Everything you just said is what Tucker Carlson was saying Thursday and Friday night about the so-called main stream media news. He has taken to calling them the, “Dem Party
            Propaganda Whores.”

            “ if you go on any of them ABC CBS CNBC MSDNC CNN It doesn’t matter. They’re all talking about the same thing and it’s almost Word for Word and none of it has anything to do with what is really important.

            Like the largest financial fraud in world history. Which could drag everybody in our country right down the financial drain. And they are ignoring it because they are being told to ignore it. They will continue to ignore it until it cannot be ignored.”

      • hotaters November 18, 2022 at 6:11 pm #

        If the U.S. topples, so will everything else tied to it. Which means the world economy will likely fail, too. Yes, buckle up, people!

    The FTX cryptocurrency scam provides the clearest case for requiring the death penalty in cases of huge commercial fraud. It may not be a deterrent but it most certainly provides closure.

    • Disaffected November 18, 2022 at 10:39 am #

      As the ArchDruid yoosed [sic, Q.’ism] to say, we’ve reached peak abstraction. No one understands any of this stuff well enough to effectively regulate it anymore, even assuming anyone actually wanted to. Too much money to be made to want to stop it.

      • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 12:37 pm #

        I remember seeing a video where an interviewer stood outside some Wall Street firm asking workers there to explain derivatives to him.

        No one could.

        And yet that firm was making billions selling them.

    • JohnAZ November 18, 2022 at 10:42 am #

      I have always felt that the death penalty is too easy.

      The people that deserve it need to suffer for years for what they have done.

      IMHO, each one of the SOBs get their own cell dug in the town of Florence, CO, a room 8×8, with a toilet and a bed, period. Their sentence is life imprisonment until death without parole sitting in this cell, with no breaks, no outdoors, nothing. Think Edmund Dante’s. No outside communication, no appeal procedure, no lawyers,

      By the time appeals processes are used up on death row inmates, the additional cost of maintaining these prisoners would be covered.

      A fate worse than death, something they would deter them worse than suicide. Closure for the victims folks as they would know that the perp was getting a fate worse than death.

      • GreenAlba November 18, 2022 at 10:57 am #

        The WEF’s promotions include a life with no privacy. So they should have no privacy. I vote for cages with a transparent, unbreakable, bomb-proof ‘wall’ so that those they have wronged can watch them any time they want. Free access. No privacy breaks – open viewing includes toilet non-breaks and bug meals.

        Oh, and monthly quacksines or no bug burgers. Perhaps some will choose the Bobby Sands protocol, which is fine.

    • Bobby E November 20, 2022 at 12:43 pm #

      Yes, closure and a, albeit brief, Bread & Circus. Until their blood runs, literally, none of this stops. Actually, it will only get worse due to the encouragement that no consequences represent. Paul Pelosi was a good start. Just the wrong spouse.

    “A clusterfuck for the ages..” with a heaping helping of mastermindery.

    G-20 recommends vaxx passports for unfettered movement.

    The Biden regime likes the idea.

    Only double-think can explain holding this idea and the open borders concept in your mind simultaneously.

    Ooh, is that a syringe in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

    #FJB and every partisan liar everywhere.

    • rudyspeaks November 18, 2022 at 9:46 am #

      “open borders”… note that NEITHER (identical extremes of the ONE real) party ever allow the discussion about the gathering crowd on the Rio Grande to extend to its obvious question, “WhereTF did all these people come from?” Pulling up roots & emigrating is difficult enough when you’re being welcomed. These folks were terrified into escaping… by the US’s unchanging (no matter if D’s or R’s are running things), not-open-to-debate foreign policy. We are ruled by greedy criminals, whom we deal with, as victims of the American Public Education system, by “throw[ing] the bums out!” ‘Course, that means, in a supposed 2 party system, voting BACK the same losers we “threw out” 4 years earlier. Rinse and repeat. Nothing will change until WE do.

      • JohnAZ November 18, 2022 at 10:46 am #

        Fox News is starting to use the word, Mob, to describe Biden and his family. The House is already starting an investigation into his Mob, their words, and the foreign Mobs they deal with.

        Look no further than the southern border and its cartel outreach into the U.S., gentlemen. Then Ukraine, then China.

      • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 12:39 pm #

        I’m more interested in where they go after they cross the border.

        Sure you can watch them gather, you can watch them cross…..but then where do they go?

        They seem to disappear. You never see them trudging down US highways the way they trudge down Mexico’s roads.

        Someone is picking them up and distributing them.

        • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 12:41 pm #

          I’m betting that a lot of those 2 million young men that “Biden” has welcomed over the border are beefing up the “Ukrainian” military now.

          There are reports that the “Ukrainian” military has a lot of foreign languages spoken. Mostly Polish, but English and Spanish have also been heard.

          • BackRowHeckler November 18, 2022 at 1:04 pm #

            Similar to the Spanish Republican Army 1936-1939.

          • BackRowHeckler November 18, 2022 at 1:04 pm #

            That army lost too.

          • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 4:19 pm #

            True, BRH, but maybe the Union Army is more applicable here.

            The foreigners in the Republican army were volunteers.

            The Irish immigrants to the US who found themselves Shanghaied to the frontlines in the US Civil War were not as willing.

            Central American dudes who got enticed to the US and all of a sudden find themselves on the frontlines in Ukraine might also be feeling duped.

        It’s not a matter of where they came from but where they expect to go. They expect, and will probably realize, endless free-shit for no work. None of them appear to be emaciated to the point of being Biafra refugees. On the contrary, they seem to be well fed and healthy. And to look that way they were working wherever they came from. But here they’ll get the same stuff they worked for there for free here.

      Just watched a video on telegram of female soldiers being force-jabbed in both arms as they walk through a gauntlet of angry men fast-jabbing them in the shoulders.

      Some passed out, foamed at the mouth or puked afterwards. They were told to shut up and move on.

      This is what they want for the masses, those are just the lab mice.

      • Jarek November 18, 2022 at 12:36 pm #

        And the same doesn’t happen to male soldiers? And how many men have received their death jab from female nurses?

      This Mob culture IS the Anti-christ.
      It was a political vision all along.

      Written in political code, to slip it past the censors and normalize it in the general subconscious, the cultural background.

      If we could only get the Christians to read the Book like adults; they, like the ruling class, are mesmerized by spellcasting and occultism.

    Jim, i’m still waiting for Hitlery’s jail sentence. It should be any decade now. How about the Wiced Witch of the West, Nancy Pelosi who so royally fucked up her State of California along with Diane Feinstein and Gavin Newsom that see is now looking for property in Naples Florida.

    People go to jail for insider trading but somehow, that doesn’t apply to CONgress?

    This was all made possible by fossil fuels which is why we are seeing these layers of global complexities. One day this will all collapse but until then Hitlery and her ilk are still on the loose.

      As I mentioned earlier, I am still waiting for the beautiful Hitlery Clinton to share a jail cell next to the beautiful OJ Simpson.

      Look at all the motherfuckers who should have been sitting in a electric chair, instead died a peaceful death. War criminal, George Bush senior lived into his 90’s. His son is still walking free after destroying prosperous countries like Syria, Lybia, Iraq. Thanks to him, they are now certified shitholes with tens of millions dead. You have warmongers like Henry Kissinger still alive into his late 90’s.

      George Soros is also into his 90’s and the list goes on. Sometimes making a pact with the Devil gets you a win in this life.

          The US is still occupying 30% of Syria and is stealing their oil and wheat.
          70% of Syrians are “food insecure” (as they call it nowadays) while the US steals their wheat.
          And has the nerve to go to the UN crying crocodile tears about the Big Bad Russians withholding wheat from the starving children of Africa, although Russia points out that the wheat from Ukraine is actually going to the EU, and that it is the US sanctions that are stopping Russia from selling its wheat to feed the starving children.

          I am still waiting for the UN resolutions or EU sanctions against the US for stealing Syrian wheat and oil.

          Still……waiting…….

            I’m still hearing the WW II narrative that the United States saved the world from Tyranny.

            Lol.

            I can laugh about it , because near as I can tell , nobody outside of folks living in a bubble in North America or Western Europe buys a single word of that narrative.

            The United States spends how much on education every year ?

            Not uncommonly even your smaller colleges are themselves the size of small towns.

            But seemingly no one actually reads a history book ?

            Certainly they don’t read histories of Syria or Iran , Guatamala or El Salvador , Haiti or Congo.

    JHK, years ago you averred that we are a wicked people and would deserve everything we would reap. Am I wrong about this (not that I disagree at all, by the way)? Well, now we are in “reap mode” where we now will pay for our sins. What sins, one might ask? The sins of not nipping this outcome in the bud years ago. I remember 30 or more years ago responsible people wondering what our country was going to be the outcome of the bad behavior the “managerial class” exhibited back then. Now we know. Remember the 1980s? That was when greed was declared good! When the “managerial class” decided that rules were just impediments to success. That was 40 years ago.

    • Alfred November 18, 2022 at 9:49 am #

      Wow, now I wish I had discovered him 30 years ago, as it was about then I resigned myself to the same conclusion. Nippit in the bud. As I recall, many were afraid of right wing tyranny then, myself included. I do not wish to be subjected to any tyrant, left or right.

      I’ve been wondering if it’s EVER been what it seemed. I’m leaning, “no.”

      At the moment, I think the human race is collapsing on it’s own weight, and what we’re witnessing is an attempt to control it whilst it falls. There are those who are trying to survive it, and carve out something in the after. Are they evil or pragmatic?

      Inertia is a force of nature.

      AKlein

      A basic problem about you post.

      The people who “run” the law, the DOJ and judiciary are the people who should be “nipping it in the Bud”. Instead, they are part of the comes, promoting the scum who start up shit like this. When the news says that Madoff, Enron, FTX should have been shut down, the “shutters down” are right in there with the schemers.

      I am talking about the Deep State! No just Dems either. Both sides are guilty as hell of manipulating the money machine and promoting the people doing the dirty work for them.

      Watch and see, watch both sides of the aisle trying to escape the Hammer. Watch the AG, watch Christopher Wray. This is the same group that destroyed Trump and his administration. This FTX is small potatoes.

    • Mick November 18, 2022 at 11:49 am #

      I would posit that we should go even further back than 40 years ago. How about to the 1930s when our grandparents, great grandparents, and in some cases great-great grandparents accepted the New Deal? And then the Great Society? The concept of getting something for nothing. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

      But then, I could argue that we should go back to 1913. That nonsense should’ve been met with forceful resistance. (Fed Reserve and then Income Tax being illegally ratified).

      • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 1:20 pm #

          • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 4:32 pm #

            I have electricity still now due to the New Deal, which brought electrification to rural areas.

            I also live near a beautiful national park, created by the CCC out of the denuded, overfarmed and mined Ozarks.

            I have seen photos of it before they planted millions of trees to protect it.
            The small farmers that we tend to lionize around here had cut down the trees and plowed the soil, which responded by creating huge gullies as it flowed down to the Mississippi River.
            It was no longer usable for crops and the coal had all been dug out.
            So the feds bought out the farmers and hired teenagers to plant trees and build trails.
            Now it is astoundingly beautiful and the soil is kept in place on the slopes.

          • Mick November 18, 2022 at 6:14 pm #

            There was a time when people would’ve rather starve than go into slavery.

            Are you saying the New Deal is what fed them? I think many, many charities fed the starving people.

            Did Social Security feed them? Was getting ball rolling in turning DC into the massive centralized behemoth that it is today feed them?

            You actually make my point. Americans, such as yourself are weak and pathetic. But, nothing personal.

            You’re just weak and pathetic. A modern American who would surrender freedom for a false security.

          • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 9:00 pm #

            Apparently you don’t have a clue what the New Deal was.

          • Jarek November 19, 2022 at 1:00 pm #

            Brava Paula! I too like some of the old Democratic policies. At their best, they approach National Socialism.

            What is a settler but someone who killed every large animal for ten square miles and chopped down every tree for a quarter square mile?

            We would have no wildlife at all if the Democrats hadn’t stepped in to stop using nature as a year round grocery.

            But of course the snake in the grass of Communism was always lurking. Someone told FDR that one of his confidants was a known Communist. He told the guy to fuck himself. He knew but didn’t think it was that bad, though he said he himself wasn’t.

            How very wrong he was. National Socialism has all the good points but crushes the head of the serpent.

            Repent.

          • Paula D November 19, 2022 at 5:07 pm #

            Well, yes, Jarek, they used the power of the state to create public works by employing the workers desperate for work to create benefits for society as a whole.

            Parks, electricity, bridges, post offices, libraries, tree planting, topsoil protection, fire fighting, artwork, concerts, canneries, plays, there is even a bandshell still in use in a local park by the river, in the floodplain. Most of the time it is still used for public concerts, just like the lodge built in the national park is still used for weddings and banquets.
            They stopped the impoverishment of farmers by paying them for their food, which then went to hungry citizens, instead of being dumped on the ground.

            I understand that Hitler did the same for Germany, except he did it without borrowing money from the bankers.
            But the part where he used slave labor and started a war was the downside, and it’s a pretty big downside. I read a comment by a woman on facebook who said that her father lived in Dresden and was a Hitler supporter right up until Feb 1945. And then he wasn’t anymore.

            Same with the US, who after WW2 decided to invest in the war machine and the security state instead of public works. Even the national highway system, a sort of public works, was detrimental to the health of society, since it involved destroying the existing public transportation system, and then destroying rural towns as well as the cities, and leading to the horrendous fragmented fossil-fuel dependent mess we are in today.

            And now we are in the depths of depravity, where the public purse is used only for corporate profit and never for the public good.

            Could fascism fix that? I have my doubts.

        The concept of forceful resistance to a tyrannical unconstitutional government decree was tried way back in 1861 and failed and has never been tried since because the people of this country knew they were a captive populace of a government hostile to the constitution, in spite of all the lip service paid to it, and there was precious little they could do about it.

MAGA policies seem like such common sense it is mind boggling to think anyone would be so enraged by them. However, I have many family members that absolutely lose their shit anytime his name is even mentioned. They would vote for anything (obviously) other than MAGA at this point.

          • Mick November 18, 2022 at 10:59 am #

            What was MAGA about throwing Steve Bannon over board during his first year in office, and make Jared Kushner and his very blonde daughter his main advisors?

            What was MAGA about “Operation Warp Speed”?

            And what is MAGA about STILL pushing the deadly clot shots?

            The Trump presidency was a sad missed opportunity.

          • mrs. theolddays November 18, 2022 at 11:14 am #

          • TPTB-USA November 18, 2022 at 12:53 pm #

            Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

            “… I have many family members that absolutely lose their shit anytime his name is even mentioned. They would vote for anything (obviously) other than MAGA at this point.” … and a short conversation would likely reveal that they had no in depth knowledge about any of the issues that Jim discusses.

            Biden’s September 1st speech with a red background was all about activating TDS.

            Jim Jordan strikes me as a fighter for the patriots, and I can’t think of a better fighter to go after all the abuse. But I am sad to report that I now believe that any findings of wrongdoing will be met by half the population with the same “no-brainer” response.

          • Night Owl November 18, 2022 at 4:28 pm #

            Fair questions, Mick. As for Bannon, I think that can be chalked up to him not realizing just how deep the rot was. He certainly made mistakes.

            The clot shot I cannot explain, but he says he is anti-mandate. DeSantis is no cleaner here, though he does appear to have repented.

            There is no political solution, but Trump (perhaps DeSantis) is all we are getting.

            The rest must come from the people.

          • Night Owl November 18, 2022 at 10:49 am #

            Many were involved in killing this war criminal according to the Iranian government.

            “On Wednesday, Iranian prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr claimed that a British security firm and an airbase in Germany had a hand in Soleimani’s assassination. Without providing evidence, he said that London-based security services company G4S played a role in the killing.”

            You are not prepared for this.

          • Jarek November 18, 2022 at 12:50 pm #

            Being an Iranian patriot is the same as being a war criminal to these people.

            You need to try harder, Owl.

          • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 1:27 pm #

            I think it was a US project. It only took one missile to blow up Soleimani, the Iraqi bigwig and the collateral damage on the airport road.

            The Mini-Mes sometimes jump in and take part of the blame, to diffuse the US’s responsibility.

            Remember when the US bombed the Syrian army guarding the airport to Del-Ezzor? They killed 100 of them. They were there to protect the runways so that Syria could fly in supplies for the ISIS-surrounded village.

            The survivors testified that they saw the US planes bombing them. They thought at first that they were there to bomb ISIS, but then it became clear they were there to bomb the Syrian army.

            Then they testified that ISIS fighters came in and laughed at them as they took over the airport.

            Luckily, Russia was already involved and they sent bombers to kill ISIS and drive them out of the airport.

            Anyway, it made a big scandal in some circles (not in the Mighty Wurlitzer) so Britain and France and some other country claimed that they were all involved.

            Sure, dudes. You all sent bombers to one place for an hour.

            Nope. That was the US.

          • tuco22 November 18, 2022 at 4:04 pm #

          Make America Great Again goes against the programming of multiculturalism/diversity/marxism lite with which several generations have been indoctrinated, at last since the mid-80s, which is when it was introduced into our school system courtesy of Ronald Reagan. Trump represents old America, the America of the 80s before indoctrination. Look at some of the movies of that period and you’ll see what I mean. The generations of today have been indoctrinated and conditioned to hate everything Trump stands for by branding it with some epithet, and they’ve been conditioned like Pavlovian dogs to react certain ways to certain stimuli.

          Half the population has “reasoned” it to the nth degree, they just can’t articulate their logic.

          “It’s a no-brainer”! “Birds of a feather flock together”.

          Re: “If you say Trump, then please tell us truthfully what has he provably done that is so worthy of hate?”.

          I suspect it has to do with Trump being a Man-Child in regard to not having a very big vocabulary (due to dyslexia?), and letting words like “DeSantamonious” come out of his mouth.

    Hey everyone, just to share a little something with you, you might like to check out Vaughan Williams’ 6th Symphony, which really seems to capture fully the mood and zeitgeist of the world we all now live in — even though it was composed during the early 20th century. You can check it out at Youtube. Start from the 2nd movement. Sounds almost like a musical depiction of the horrors of trench warfare. The quiet and eerie final movement has in turn been thought of by some as depicting a world left lifeless by a nuclear war. Very dark and depressing (and prophetic?) music.

    • megabeth November 18, 2022 at 11:47 am #

      Sounds uplifting.

    • Hereward the Woke November 18, 2022 at 1:54 pm #

      I love Vaughan Williams. However, at the other end of the scale, he wrote so lovely music that will set the most troubled mind at ease. Try “A Lark Ascending” or “Fantasia on a Theme”. Their beauty reminds us of what is REALLY important at the end of the day.

    • Alzaebo November 18, 2022 at 5:08 pm #

      Agreed. FTX is a trigger, a deliberate controlled collapse.

      The Mortgage Meltdown had a deliberate trigger too, a $2 Trillion short of the ABS derivatives index.

      One day to the next, nobody in the LIBOR casino knew what their bets were worth. Credit markets froze, the bloodstream stopped.

      The Lockdown accomplished the same thing; rather than halting the bank’s overnite adjustments, they stalled the whole economy.

      What I fear is a pension cascade, instead of a derivatives cascade.
      The municipals will start delaying their bills.

      And voila!
      The Fed Reserve announces a Fedcoin digital dollar.
      The petrodollar has had its run.

    “Coincidentally”, on the heels of this FTX disaster, the Fed has announced a “12 week CBDC program” as a trial run. This is the much anticipated ‘Digital Dollar’ for those who don’t know what CDBC is.
    Central Bank Digital Currency. Doesn’t that have a nice ring to it? ‘Ol Andy Jackson is rolling in his grave.

    All your favorite banks are a part of this ‘trial run’. Wells Fargo…Chase…Citibank…etc…

      I wonder what Tom Luongo will have to say about this.

      James, can you get him on a podcast to provide some insight?

      He has steadfastly opined that the US central banks are NOT on board with the CBDC and the WEF program.

      Is it possible that they are now too scared not to get with the agenda?

        Islander – you raise a lot of good points. Regarding cash, isn’t the point to require CBDC to replace it? How long will the good ol’ greenback be viable?

        • Mick November 18, 2022 at 10:33 am #

          I think if all goes according to plan, cash will not be viable by the end of next year.

            If you stand in a long supermarket queue, you will notice already how few of the sheep pay with cash. All they want is convenience. A CBDC will be right up their streets. However, on the positive side, if they come to pass, I see a massive alternative economy opening up. Could actually end up a good thing.

            They can’t pay with cash because they’re flat-ass broke. Some pay with credit cards – borrowing to buy groceries at interest – and some with EBT (debit) cards, loaded by US taxpayers.

            Agreed on the alternative economy, as long as it can stay a “free market” – barter or otherwise – with an alternative currency that has “value”.

          • gustafson.robert.22 November 18, 2022 at 11:59 am #

            The idea on his cast was that FTX as a company might have been designed by trad finance players to delegitimize non bitcoin crypto and suck money out of that market too.

            Also to launder Dem money, and possibly include Davos digital currency strategizing as well.

            No Fed or CIA though.

    Alfred – I’ve been wondering if it’s EVER been what it seemed. I’m leaning, “no.”

    Ah, slowly slowly the informed people creep towards the answer. Why do the 50-60s generations believe theirs was a unique, mythical period of ethics and morailty in th USA?

    Go back and read why the mexican war was opposed, what twain was really saying about post civil war corrupt politics, why the progressive movement flourished, what mencken, butler, et al remarked about post ww1 society.

    And then magically, everything was perfect and fair, that is until viet nam and the endless mena wars that have now transitioned to russia. Eisenhowers warning speech anyone?

    I guess I’ll keep saying it: until you finally accept that this period is not unique nor special, you will be forever locked into a chamber of denial, anger and depression. Only you can choose to finally embrace the truth and be free.

    Once there, you will see this is all a silly sideshow. The big tent is prepping overshoot, depletion and degradation as the featured act. Already, dress rehearsals are underway in ukraine to contest who will control the globes last great stores.

    I remember my garbage brother in law made 30k on Crypto ,and bought a miner etc,I briefly thought about looking at starting to get into it.
    Upon looking at a FTX style company website ,or in FTX I thought this looks very sketchy to say the least ,I never got why after 2008 people still believe a word these people say.

        To farm crypto currency requires a fairly powerful computer with as high end of graphics card as you can afford.
        Each coin is encrypted and essentially to own it you either have to break the encryption or purchase it from someone who already has.

    I believe that business schools teach that a “legitimate” business plan is to drive Ponzi schemes into bankruptcy and to take their “share” after suffering the punishment for their activity.

    It is all power, requires large reaches of rich and powerful people.

    It also requires the absolute stupidity of the people duped by the investment schemes, a situation widely discussed on this blog.

        I agree Mary. No doubt their super-duper-smart parents are devout atheists who encouraged their kids to believe there was no such thing as right or wrong and only they had the right to set rules for their own lives. So what if it destroyed other people and was based on lies? Part of nihilism is the premise there’s no such thing as truth.

          In my experience Atheists are either solid ” Get Tough on Crime ” types , or perpetual social justice warrior types , or both.

          Which is to say that in their world view typically whether you chose coffee or bottled water is a moral issue.

          Right and wrong is something they never tire of parsing.

          The trouble comes in when you ask WHERE / BASED ON WHAT this right and wrong ?

          They will tell you that creeds also are subject to evolution .

          No jaywalking , and fishing licenses , evolved because they were conducive to the welfare of the species.

          Of course theories like ; sociopaths tend to rise to the top , do not fit this greater good evolutionary sceme.

          As likewise they certainly at least are no improvement on theology when they preach the greater good , when they could have accomplished the greater good just as well by going to work at Burger King.

          Instead they spend thousands of dollars of other people’s money so they can get college degrees , so they can practice anything but altruism in their own lives.

          They preach altruism and the greater good , but they want themselves paid 25 to 300 dollars an hour to preach it.

    What an excellent breakdown of the FTX scandal, James, thank you! And how can you miss with an opening quote by CJ Hopkins?

    Woke Jacobin turpitude – the most apt descriptor for the architects of this absolute clusterfuck.

    Was it all orchestrated in order to bring down/rein in bitcoin and other crypto, and also help to collapse our system of currency at the same time? Or, perhaps, the scheme was caught in time before it was able to fulfill its mission? I can’t wait to hear more as it unfolds.

    A stoner 20-something shlub at the helm is the cherry on top of this. They don’t even try any more with their scapegoat junior generals, do they?

    It is beyond the scandal of the year. Amazingly one hears very little about it in the mainstream media. Gee, what a surprise!

          Again, that’s the real story being chronicled in the Old Testament, a repeat over and over of Israel versus Judea.

          A race war between half- breeds.
          Racial purity was never the point; the function is access to desirable breeding stocks, with which to replenish or harvest.

          A nomadic herdsman culture versus a landed farmer’s culture.

          Before the Adam/Eve story, was “Inanna prefers the farmer.”

          (Adam/Eve are Duzumid/Ninil, the polytheistic Abraham’s pantheon, Semitic male over Aryan female.)

          Inanna represents the vied after Aryan breeding stock.   Here the Aryan farmer Enkimdu and the Semitic shepherd Dumuzid vie for her hand. 

          Enkimdu’s naive good nature leads to Dmumzid “gathering the bride.” This is reflected in the annual Akkadian “divine marriage” rite, reenacting crafty Duzumid’s victory over unwitting Enkimdu.

          (Sargon of Akkad and the Semitic kings commanding the loyalties of Aryan Benjamites- Esther was probably one, pimped out to Haman, then Xerxes- are the Snake in the Garden story.)

          • Alzaebo November 18, 2022 at 6:10 pm #

            Credit for this goes to Mark Brahmin of theapolloniantransmission(dot)com, under “The Cult of the Bride Gatherers”.

            Extensive semantic study of storytelling as “esoteric moralizing” (hidden messages using the emotive power of morality, not reason.)

            Culture war; war without weapons.
            None could match the weaponry of the very people who invented metals.
            Wit, guile, rumour, and then literacy became the weapon of choice in securing the highest prize in the known universe: Aryan females.

            Properly read, Esau is the larger Aryan-descent demographic. Even the God was outwitted to win a Covenant.

          • Anthea November 20, 2022 at 7:10 pm #

            The story of Cain and Abel, in which God prefers Abel’s offerings of animals from the flocks to Cain’s offering of agricultural products, is another example.

            Some passages in the Old Testament seem to be asserting the superiority of pastoralists versus agriculturists–or the divine preference for pastoralists over agriculturists. Here and there, the Bible rejects the idea of eating cakes made from grains–a dainty food item enjoyed by the Canaanites.

            One of my neighbors out here in the country is convinced that God intended for people to be pastoralists and to eat a diet of mostly meat and dairy–and that the Bible says so. He has experimented with cows and goats, and has recently moved on to raising sheep. He’s doing interesting stuff in the way of land restoration and rotational grazing. He also occasionally presents (on Facebook) the math supporting his ability to produce a heck of a lot of high-quality calories per acre with grazing animals.

            He’s a fundamentalist Christian of a very deep dye. Nice guy with some odd beliefs.

      I doubt this had anything to do with Brady’s divorce. That had been in the works for about six months, at least. When he “un-retired” that was his way of saying, “Babe, you’re still kinda hot, but you’re not 25 anymore. I want that DiCaprio action! He has it down like a science!”

          Agreed. What warned me off was that no-one seemed to know who the geezer who invented it was. He has a name – Satoshi – but he seemed incredibly shy and retiring. If crypto was the game changer it was made out to be, its inventor would have been hogging the limelight and grabbing every photo op, just like other inventors of amazing products have done.

        Matthew 25: 14-30

        The Parable of the Talents
        14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

        Jarek: If you never invest, you never make a wrong investment! Ditto with voting…..

        Of course the parable presupposes a valid system. There may well be times to be bury the coin. The Shaw brothers fled Communist China, leaving their gold in the ground. They worked as cooks in Hong Kong. Then one foggy night they rowed back to retrieve it. No more cooking. They open their movie studio and made martial arts movies.

        But of course Christ’s parable remains true at a deeper level and in general.

I will therefore hold my breath and try to rein in my cynicism before believing that this really IS the Big One.

    • MaryQueen November 18, 2022 at 11:22 am #

          “But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.”

            “To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it—please try to believe me—unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.”

    • MD3 November 18, 2022 at 12:00 pm #

      I agree. Every affront, supposedly the line in the sand, is followed by an even greater one. The elites and the media gaslight and mock you as they tell you that there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that the PATRIOT Act and surveillance state are here to protect your freedom, that there is no international pedophile ring and Epstein hung himself, that the “vaccines” are necessary, safe and effective, etc.

      I don’t see anything changing any time soon, except the composition of the country via mass genocide of the Remnant and their replacement with rootless, third-world peasants. The last group in this country with any claim to or support of the traditional republic is being intentionally killed off and replaced. The deplorables were very problematic to the regime. Fear not, they will be gone soon, and before they are gone, they have gamed the election system, so they will have no power and just sit and seethe until it is their turn to die.

    • Paula D November 18, 2022 at 1:42 pm #

      Yes, every day my husband tells me the NPR propaganda of the day and I tell him what’s going on in the internet world I inhabit.

      Today NPR was quite worried about beer in Qatar and children being forbidden to be mutilated in Alabama.

      I told him today’s CFN post. He hadn’t heard a word about the connections involved.

      It will be buried like the pipelines destruction, which was also not mentioned on NPR until a couple of days after and then buried.

    Judging by the lamentations and pleas for justice emanating from the comment coterie I feel I must hasten to remind everyone that

    “rules are for the little people” is not some oversimplification or banal maxim.

    Just read the host’s and the countless online investigations into the FTX criminal enterprise, but don’t stop there, red on about Burisma and Hunter, but keep on going and research Paul Pelosi’s incredible stock picking record, and if still unsated read on about McConnell’s wife’s….

    • SW November 18, 2022 at 11:19 am #

      Boris Johnson got thrown out of office for ignoring the covid rules while enforcing them for everyone else over Christmas no less.

      ““rules are for the little people” is not some oversimplification or banal maxim.”

      More or less.

      Which is why we need to try to understand if there is a true “clash of the titans” as opined by Tom Luongo, when it comes to imposing the globalist agenda, esp. when it comes to money.
      .
      If so, this is war by another name.
      And wars have always been fought by the big guys, not the little guys. The deaths of the latter will be more indirect than in, say, Ukraine.

      • Jarek November 18, 2022 at 1:37 pm #

        Not the little guys? The little guys are the pawns that do the actual fighting and dying for the most part.

        I suppose if the little guys can just realize they are pawns and not identify with any of it, they are somewhat innocent. And of course if they believe the cause if just – like the dupes who stormed Normandy Beach – they are not only innocent, but heroic. But a higher heroism is to See and not participate and face the music from the Masters and their minions.

        • Edge Lord November 18, 2022 at 1:52 pm #

          Islander, I do not think wars are fought by the big guys. I think they are created by, funded by, and planned by the “big guys”but are actually fought on the battlefields by the little people.
          The exception to this may be low-level crime lord turf wars where the people in-charge actually have skin in the game. Real skin and not merely money, reputation and political positioning.

          Jarek, recruiting numbers support your last point. Even with the introduction of an Eyepatch McCain specifically designed by the MIC to appeal to the young naive “operator” worshippers. Dying in pointless wars for the elites just isn’t cool and neither is Eyepatch McCain and his cheesy action recruitment movies.

          • Jarek November 18, 2022 at 3:36 pm #

            Have you seen the Alex Stein video where he confronts Crenshaw? Crenshaw tried to grab the mike but Stein is faster. Stein mocks him for being so slow, “I thought you were in the special forces. You’re so slow and small, Dan.”

            His final words, “You’re a dwarf”.

            To be fair, special forces guys are mostly on the smaller side. Small and medium sized guys can take more punishment and are stronger pound for pound.

            But certainly Crenshaw is a dwarf, mentally speaking.

            I was standing next to an ex-Marine sniper one day and he said something that annoyed me, so I went to give him a sideways kick.

            Before I knew it, my leg was up in the air and I was unable to move.

            Damn he moved fast! That training doesn’t go away.

            Edge,

            Please, surely it is obvious that when I said “big guys fight wars” I used it metaphorically.

            Not to mean that the contemporary big guys are out there on the battlefield or in the actual trenches.

        I will probably mangle this quote, but it goes something like:

    My vast fortune is being funneled into meager groceries, the electric bill, lawn care, insurance premiums and new tires for the car. The local news (run out of Sherman, TX by a bunch of extremely entertaining newspeople) had some real numbers on inflation we’re facing:

    eggs — up 43%
    butter — up 25%
    beef — up 18%

    You can trust your lyin’ eyes at the grocery store or Biden and Wall Street telling us it’s a mere 7 to 8%.

          “Shrink-flation” is becoming a weekly event at the grocer’s. Almost all manufacturers seem to uniformly shrink their brands at the same time.

          Frozen vegetable packages have shrunk by 10-12% since the end of summer over a wide variety of brands. Peanut-butter jars have gone from 16 oz. to 15 oz. in the last week.

    • Woodchuck November 18, 2022 at 12:28 pm #

      What to do with the remainder of your fortune? I’d advise trading for a little old shack in the country with a barn, a shed, and maybe a small woodlot. Use wood for heating, including your kitchen stove. Stop with the lawn care, you won’t have neighbors next door to complain about your yard to start with. Gas once used for lawn mowing will now be going in rototillers instead for making okra, corn, and tomatoes in your back yard. Forget about the price of eggs, you need only to be concerned about the price of chicken feed for the henhouse. Forget about beef for the time being. Backyard hogs are easier for makin’ bacon, and you can possibly trade pork for butter and beef.

      Also no more playing golf, watching tv, driving to Dollywood, or arguing in CFN’s forum with rednuts etc. No time for that anymore. You won’t be needing new tires because the only driving you’ll be doing will happen one day out of the week when you co-ordinate with neighbors on a trip to town in a small truck. You’ll come back with sacks of animal feed, used tools, maybe some lumber, etc. All other traveling will happen no faster than 45 mph on a small 200 cc motorbikes via bad roads with potholes. Forget about flying anywhere, the skies will be quiet.

      • crudgemudgeon November 18, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

          ” All of a man’s problems stem from the inability to sit quietly in his own room (or shack).”

          I’m predicting that small motorcycles and sex will still be in good supply during the Long Emergency. Sex will keep you happy in your room with your partner/mate – for a while – and the motorbikes will solve the problems of being restless and bored while sitting quietly at home.

          • John001 November 19, 2022 at 5:41 am #

            Don’t motorbikes also go electric by 2050? Just wondering.

            Also in the UK some surgeons call motorcyclists ‘kidney donors’.

            I prefer to travel on four wheels, when I can’t walk or get a train or bus. My 80 mpg, driving a 2008 diesel Skoda seems as economical as a motorbike and a lot safer. How do I do it? Fairly easy: moderate speeds, hypermiling techniques and not much driving in congested cities.

            The 1940s Citroen 2CV car would be even more economical than a modern 1250 kg car, if it was re-designed for an energy-scarce 21st.C (it only weighed 500 kg.) If our elite wanted to preserve basic personal travel, they’d have gone down the smaller vehicles + synthetic fuels route, I’m almost sure.

            But they didn’t. So I assume they don’t want us travelling at all.

          • Woodchuck November 19, 2022 at 12:16 pm #

            @ John001 – Right now, diesel is very expensive and the supply of it in the future for personal transport might be a problem. In times of shortages, diesel must first go for farming, barges, trains, ships etc. Only whatever is left after that will be available for personal use. If diesel consumption isn’t controlled or rationed in some way, we might all starve to death.

            By 2050, there won’t be any petroleum available to support the popular automobile culture we’ve constructed. I’m predicting fuel will still be available for high mpg motorbikes, rototillers, chainsaws, small construction equipment etc. But forget about driving everywhere in automobiles as we do today. The world will be a *much* larger place in 2050, Traveling 100 miles to go visit someone will be the same sort of adventure as traveling many thousands of miles today.

            It takes a lot of resources and energy to build a car, resources that won’t exist in the future. With a small motorbike, not so much. There’s *far* less metal, plastic, and rubber involved in building a bicycle or a simple small 250cc motorbike. It’s what I saw in Germany in the mid 50’s, and it’s the lifestyle Germany is heading back to as their new self imposed Morgenthau plan is being implemented . The Germans brought this lifestyle upon themselves in the 40’s, and they didn’t recover untill the 70’s when the car culture came back to Europe with a vengeance and **cked everything up a second time. Hitler’s dream of autobahns and a VW in every driveway became reality. And Hitler’s dreams sucked and ended in failure – as will “modern” Germany.

          • Woodchuck November 19, 2022 at 12:39 pm #

            @ John001 – about motorbike safety.

            I know and have known a lot of bikers, and many of them drive recklessly or used to in their youth – and I was one as well. I’d never ride like that again, as I’m too old to be sliding along pavement or into trees or guard rails in my 70’s.

            I follow some motorbike vloggers on you tube. One calling herself “itchy boots” has traveled over 100,000 kilometers in some 38 different countries and through some dangerous areas. She’s had some spills of course, that’s inevitable, but no serious accidents. It can be done safely for people using common sense and obeying all traffic laws. Such travel will be even more safe in the future as all the idiots and incompetent drivers currently on the roads will be removed in the future.

          • Woodchuck November 19, 2022 at 1:25 pm #

            One more at John001 and I’ll shut up about motorcycles.

            It was England that gave birth to the fast sportbike culture in the 1950’s with state of the art Brit made bikes called “cafe racers”. Back in the day when English mods vs. rockers commotions and riots made the news everywhere. Teenage British hooliganism! There was news in US newspapers about British motorcycle bad boys clad in black leather jackets riding and racing at top speed from one cafe to the next in the loop around London. The Ace Cafe was the favorite spot for the “Rockers” to hang out. British motorcycle technology was about the best in the world from the very beginning until Japan moved in and took over the market completely.

            Asia has a lot more small motorbikes on the road than we do here in the West. It’s probably that way because it’s all many people can afford as to motorized transport. If we manage to wreck our industrialized economies here in the West, we’ll be on various forms of two wheeled transport because nothing else will fit into our meager budgets.

          • Woodchuck November 19, 2022 at 11:52 am #

            When I was in Catholic school, some of our teachers were nuns from the Sisters of Mercy outfit. All I can say about these nuns is they had little Mercy in them, and the only thing good about their outfits is they wore stuff that clicked and clacked as they were walking down the halls, sometimes with a sharp ear you could hear one coming before they acutally arrived, sort of like having a bell placed on a cat so that potential prey get a warning before getting pounced on.

          • Anthea November 20, 2022 at 7:34 pm #

            I never went to Catholic school, though I’ve heard many accounts of nuns being very harsh with kids.

            This always seems odd to me, as I went to a public elementary school (K-6) where every classroom was a SILENT classroom. One of my teachers once gave me a note to carry to another teacher on the third floor. I walked through most of the school, and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The teachers rarely had to resort to harsh punishments to achieve this. You might have to stand in the corner or stay in from recess. There was this one really difficult kid who was frequently put in solitary (in the cloak room). I only recall one kid ever getting spanked during my elementary school years.

            I wonder why the nuns had so much trouble?

          • Anthea November 20, 2022 at 7:37 pm #

          @ Jarek:

          The business of doing stuff is absorbing, fascinating, and creative: building stuff, cutting firewood, growing vegetables, hunting deer and other game. None of these things are just mundane chores–just a cooking is endlessly fascinating to the cook. You imagine there is nothing much to know.

          Soapmaking is a good example of a seemingly mundane business of mixing fat with lye water and stirring it up, but it is actually endlessly fascinating. There are probably about a hundred fatty acids, each with its own particular properties. Some have special benefits for skin and hair. A skilled soapmaker develops a soap recipe with a fatty acid profile that is as nearly perfect as possible and selects a superfat percentage that is best for the soap’s intended use. She may include herbs, resins, extracts, or essential oils for their particular benefits. She may substitute goat milk or other milks for water. She may choose to use KOH instead of NaOH for certain applications.

          You master those areas of knowledge before you can even start nibbling at the edges of creativity in the way of colors, shapes, and fragrances.

          To do the superficially simple task of making soap and doing it well, you need to be a chemist (at least in a small way), an herbalist, a perfumer, and an artist in both colors and the plastic arts.

          And if you plan to sell that stuff, you’d better be a decent photographer, graphic artist (for packaging), and web designer. And presumably like any normal person, you can create an Excel spreadsheet and file a Schedule C.

          You are like that idiot politician Bloomberg, who said, “I could teach anybody, even people in this room, to be a farmer. It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”

          You are not even at the level of Jethro, in that you can’t do anything at all.

          • Jarek November 19, 2022 at 1:35 pm #

            Yes, that’s all fine – for you. Every level is infinite on its own plane, right? You love matter and are exploring its possibilities. A vaisya or producer in the Vedic system.

            You even corrupt Christianity to fit this, making Matter or “Mary” into the plenum or primordial matter of the Matrix. Then you smile at church as you sing hymns that you don’t believe in. To me you more like the Minotaur in the Maze, though he was male (unlike most classical monsters!).

            Christianity is not pantheism but rather panENtheism. The physical universe is not God in itself, but rather an “incarnation” of God – His (Her or It is fine too – but NOT in Christianity) lowest aspect, Malkuth in the Kabbalah. The most far flung emanation. To create, He had to withdraw Himself you see; to create a void. So all of creation, the many worlds and realms, is all a relative absence of Substance. You and your ilk attribute Substance to the lowest of things, mere matter. There is almost no Substance here at all….

            How did you get it so wrong!

            What I just gave you is a Treasure worth more than this very world. Don’t say I only hate you. Never say that!

            Ah, soap and soap making, and real soap vs. fake synthetic soap. I became a fan long ago of Dr. Bronner’s soaps made from various types of oils. Organic gardeners use Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap as a very mild but effective organic pesticide. Bugs hate peppermint. I started using it back in the 70’s when I was a backpacking hippie, it’s a totally biodegradeable soap that doesn’t pollute a stream you are bathing in. It ain’t cheap, but a little goes a very long way.

            Hillbillies around here used to make their own soap in the 1800’s. They had lots of wood ashes available for making lye, and plant and animal oils were available from local sources. Or you used lard from your own hogs for making soap. People had time for these activities in the 1800’s because they didn’t have tv, phones, or computers. My guess is that I would have been a lazy hillbilly and if I couldn’t buy soap from somebody somehow, I’d just stink.

            @ Jarek:

            The material, created world is the Body of Christ. Your job here is to manifest heaven on earth, within your small sphere, using whatever comes to hand. There are many ways to do this. Your daily life offers such opportunities every minute of every day, and these opportunities will often be the most humble of duties: You could take out the trash and wash the dishes, for example. You will have these opportunities in your daily human contacts, in which you can do as St. Francis advises:

            Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
            where there is hatred, let me sow love;
            where there is injury, pardon;
            where there is doubt, faith;
            where there is despair, hope;
            where there is darkness, light;
            where there is sadness, joy.
            O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
            to be consoled as to console,
            to be understood as to understand,
            to be loved as to love.
            For it is in giving that we receive,
            it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
            and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

            You can hardly be around people at all without having some occasion to put some of these precepts into action.

            I used to tell my kids that whenever they took their car into the shop, they should be sure to inquire about Bill’s kids and grandkids, where he went on vacation, etc. When I went with my youngest daughter to pick up her bogus car inspection–arranged by my buddy Mike–I reminded her to ask about his garden and his new table saw. In other words, be sure to treat people like people and not like things or conveniences. This is an especially good lesson for a high school kid, who may be a little fearful of the older folks and expect them to be harsh or disapproving. So my daughter duly asked about Mike’s new table saw and saw his eyes light up with pleasure. She saw that he was flattered that she–even though she was a mere kid–was interested in him and his doings, and that she saw him as a person.

            So there is that kind of work to be done in this sphere, to manifest heaven on earth. You can probably do it at Walmart.

            The purpose of the work you do in life is likewise a means or opportunity to manifest heaven on earth, as it is by this means that you provide physical necessities, and thus perform the corporeal works of charity: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead.

            Your work offer an opportunity to manifest beauty, as with the various arts and crafts. The manifestation of beauty of earth is the touch of the beatific vision.

            Neglect of your vocation in relation to material things and the material world–and of course the mere fact that you are present in this material world is proof that you have work to do here–is irreverence. It is irreverence for the Body of Christ.

            Ya’ dummy.

          • Jarek November 20, 2022 at 12:48 pm #

            The World is the Body of Christ? Not according to any legitimate theology I’ve ever heard. That would be just more of your Wiccan pantheism, you heretic.

            There are many paths. I don’t deny the legitimacy of what you talk about. Physical beauty is important for some, for others it is not. One Saint was asked by a friend about the famed stations of the Cross statues in his church. He replied he had never looked at them.

            The real Gardens are above. Your beautiful gardens here have helped you to forget that. The name for that is Idolatry. Enjoying the paltry beauty here is fine, but it should be used to help us remember the greater beauties to come and the ultimate Beauty – his Face.

            @ Woodchuck:

            Lard soap is actually excellent–very gentle on the skin. But most serious soapmakers prefer to mix it up a little on the oils, because plain lard soap doesn’t produce a very good lather. Hardly anyone makes lye from wood ashes any more, as there is no easy way to tell the strength of the resulting lye water, so your soap could be lye-heavy–or it could not have enough lye. Those old “granny” soaps of former times were often lye-heavy.

            Nowadays, we have online lye calculators, one of which is SoapCalc, to tell you how much lye to use. And you don’t have to wonder about the strength of store-bought lye.

            The type of lye obtained from wood ashes is KOH (potassium hydroxide) lye. KOH produces a very soft soap, and granny soapmakers often added quite a bit of salt to it, to harden it into bar form. But KOH soaps are much better for skin than NaOH (sodium hydroxide) soaps, which is what most people make. NaOH soaps are still much better for skin that syndet (synthetic detergent) bars.

            You use KOH to make liquid soaps. (You can’t make a decent liquid soap with NaOH; you get what is known as “snot soap.”) I’ve never checked, but I assume that Dr. Bronners is a KOH soap.

            Almost any KOH soap will clear up acne. (You should also use an exfoliating cloth or glove.) Most acne is caused by using syndet “soaps,” which are very harsh and drying, and the resulting dry skin clogs pores. Most dandruff and other scalp problems are caused by using syndet shampoos; they are too harsh and drying.

            Did you ever see an old photograph from the 1800s or early 1900s of someone with acne?

            Soap really isn’t that difficult or time-consuming to make. If you want to make a lard soap, go to the SoapCalc website, choose the Recipe Calculator tab, and go from there. Lard makes a very good liquid soap too. You just make it with KOH instead of NaOH and dilute with water. You can choose KOH in SoapCalc to get the recipe. Some drain cleaners are pure NaOH lye, and you can buy them at most hardware stores. (Check the label.) You’d have to order KOH online.

            If you want a fragrance, add your favorite essential oil. The correct amount (or at least the maximum recommended amount) is almost always 5% of the finished product. If you want color and you don’t want to buy mica colorants, you can use food coloring. There are also herbs that work, like turmeric or paprika, which you probably have in your kitchen. The main trouble with food coloring is that some of the colors change in soap, so you may not get the color you expected. Botanical colorants almost always fade, and also sometimes change in soap. The main way they change is to disappear altogether.

            @ Jarek:

            We are ourselves manifestations of the the Divine in the microcosm. Jesus said so more than once. We are co-creators.

            The purpose of the sacraments is to inform us of the divinity that resides in ordinary material things. This has in fact been called the true “inwardness” of Christianity.

            You seem quite determined to avoid doing as you are commanded: to perform the corporeal works of mercy–which is often merely our daily work–and to show forth the Divine in all our doings. Jesus himself changed water into wine, fed the multitude with bread and fishes, healed the sick, and blessed ordinary food and drink with his Real Presence.

            You denigrate God’s creation by not acknowledging its divinity.

            @ Jarek:

            Actually, the Parable of the Talents, which you recently quoted, contradicts your stated views on this matter.

            The lesson there is that you ought to be up and doing.

            I’m puzzled by your resistance to…um…getting up off your ass. There are many possibilities that might incline a person this way. Some people have grossly dysfunctional families, which can make it difficult for them to engage with other people. They have had only negative behaviors modelled for them. Some people are autistic to some degree–in other words, they have neurological damage. Some people have some disability or deformity that has caused them to be ostracized or otherwise ill-treated. Like, maybe you are a hunchback or something.

          Yes, finally, some peace and quiet! I started bicycling again during the beginning of the covid scam, and enjoyed the empty streets. What I loved seeing more than anything else was riding my bike around and pedaling through some older neighborhoods with smaller and older homes and seeing children outside riding bikes and playing ball instead of being in school. Growing up, I could only enjoy freedom in summer – yet these kids were enjoying themselves outside during what had been regular school hours. They were supposed to have been locked up inside and not allowed out – but it seems there were enough parents around here that saw through the scam and didn’t tolerate locking up children indoors.

            The only time I saw lots of kids on the streets in the nearby town was when a tornado struck part of the town, knocking out both the electricity and the water tower for a couple of weeks. No electricity meant no TV, so they went outdoors rather than sit around in the dark with nothing to do.

    Cory Booker asks for leniency for Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes: Booker argued to U.S. District Judge Edward Davila that Holmes was a “thoughtful” and philanthropic individual who wants to “make a difference in the world” and asked for a “fair and just sentence.”
    — FOXNEWS

    Apparently, Holmes’ tiny, little $9-billion swindle is no longer a big deal. I hope this Steve Jobs wannabe wears wears her signature black turtleneck to court today.

            Branding, the jobs like sweater.

            The lawyers said prison time was unnecessary to deter future wrongdoing, calling the 38-year-old Holmes a “singular human with much to give” and not the robotic, emotionless “caricature” seen by the public and media.
            “No defendant should be made a martyr to public passion,” the lawyers wrote. “We ask that the court consider, as it must, the real person, the real company and the complex circumstances surrounding the offense.”

            Holmes founded Theranos in 2003 at age 19, before dropping out of Stanford University. Theranos was once valued at $9 billion, and Forbes magazine in 2015 estimated Holmes’ net worth at $4.5 billion.

            In early 2019, Holmes became engaged to William “Billy” Evans, a 27-year-old heir to Evans Hotels,[119] a family-owned group of hotels in the San Diego area.

            In mid-2019, Holmes and Evans reportedly married in a private ceremony.[121][122]

            Holmes and Evans have not directly confirmed whether the two are legally married, and several sources continue to refer to him as her “partner” rather than her husband.[123][124] The couple live in San Francisco.[120] Holmes gave birth to a son in July 2021.[124] In October 2022, weeks before her sentencing hearing, it was reported she was pregnant again.[125

        • MaryQueen November 18, 2022 at 8:34 pm #

          That’s very simplistic. Actually, what interrogators look for in any individual (since it’s bullshit that blinking means lying, or fidgeting means you are being disingenuous, etc. across the board, it’s more unique to each individual) are patterns in behavior. Say someone is being interrogated for 4 hours. They will map the person’s behavior and get a baseline for tics or behavior they display when obviously agitated, aggressive, lying, etc.

          It’s annoying when people sound so cocksure that blinking or moving one’s eyes a certain way = lying. Nope. Everyone is different.

          As a child in the 50’s, I experienced tv in its infancy period. I vaguely remember a show called “Space Cadets”, a science fiction show for kids. And there was Buck Rogers flying off in rockets and having space adventures.

          But there was one sci-fi movie I saw on tv that truly scared me and gave me nightmares years later. It was “Quatermass II” if I remember right. The plot was something like ;there are small football sized meteorites sent from aliens falling all over the place in Britain. People pick them up and they pop open, put a mark on you, and then you are under alien control. These controlled people conspire with each other and build and operate a huge industrial facility with the aim of growing some strange alien creatures in a factory. These giant creatures growing under domes plan to destroy humanity and take over the planet, using humans to accomplish their aims. At the last moment in the film, the domes are blown up and you get to see the monsters. They look like gigantic octopuses or something squirming around out there in the wreckage.

            2) The dinosaurs were smarter than we give them credit for (look at the size of that head on T-Rex!), and not all of them died when they sang into being a coronal mass ejection and aimed it at the Yucatan (meteorite schmeteorite) to knock out those Lemurian proto-lemurs on the opposite side of the planet.

            Paula, I fear the rodents of intuition are gnawing away at the foundation of your trust of Putin – as they did to me.

            I am convinced (not that that matters to anyone but me…) that Vlad is – like everyone else – on the bad side. But he is undoubtedly the most badass of the bad guys. And I am still hoping someone will send me a t-shirt with a bare-chested Putin riding a bear bare-backed (Christmas is coming!).

            As far as the Ukraine war is concerned, I think Russia was in the right to intervene to protect/annex Donetsk and Luhansk against the criminal puppet mafia in Kiev. And I think the Ukraine is an artificial “country” run by criminals – almost as artificial and criminal as ours…

            But Russia is within the Chinese sphere of influence (BFFs) – driven there by U$ – and China is the new Hegemon, which protects and is serviced by the western Technocrats/Plutocrats, who are castrating the West to serve it up on a silver platter to China.

            @ Alzaebo:

            Politics is always a dirty business. What Putin was dealing with in trying to wrest Russia from the grasp of Western plunderers was essentially war. Where you have war, you have loss of life–preferably of your enemies. And there is also, inevitably, the loss of some innocent lives.

            I remember reading a spy story in which the spy was staying with a family, and the family’s teenage son inadvertently discovered what he was up to, so the spy shot the boy. They story was fiction (“Those Who Hunt the Night,” by Barbara Hambly).

            You couldn’t possibly be in Putin’s position and have clean hands.

      @ amb:

      During the 11th Century, Hassan-i-Sabah established the Fortress of the Assassins at Alamut, in northwest of Tehran, just south of the Caspian Sea.

      The Isma’ilis in Persia were heavily taxed and oppressed by the Sunni Seljuq ruling class. Operating out of Alamut Castle, Hassan-i-Sabah created a resistance movement in which the key tactic was the threat of assassination.

      The guy had the ruling class living in terror, and was apparently pretty successful.

      Here is an example of the terror tactics employed:

      The nobleman awoke on a sunny spring morning. Feeling uncomfortable, he shifted himself, only to notice an extra weight on his pillow. Groggily, he opened his eyes. The glint of a blade stared back at him, its handle leaving an indentation in the pillow’s surface. Horrified, he rushed to his guards to question them about the previous night. Confused, they assured him that nothing of note had happened. Further investigation found that the windows were securely fastened, and there were no signs of forced entry. Just as he was ready to tear the room apart, the nobleman noticed something. Tucked under his pillow was a note that simply stated, “You have been warned.”

        I think that we are back at the point where that is needed.

        Political activity is worthless, marching in the streets is not just pointless, but dangerous, organizing is also used more to identify dissidents than to improve society. So what does that leave?

        • Anthea November 20, 2022 at 9:02 pm #

          Something like that would require quite an organization and would have to have its headquarters in a very remote place, inaccessible to the globalists. Maybe somewhere in Russia?

        • Anthea November 22, 2022 at 1:52 pm #

          In case anyone is interested, I first learned of Alamut from reading Louis L’Amour’s book, “Walking Drum.” It’s quite a good story, set in the 12th Century. The hero (Mathurin Kerbouchard) rescues his father from Alamut Castle, where he is being held prisoner, after Mathurin wanders all over hell and back in Europe and the Middle East.

    Again and again, the endless distractions.

    If you want to be able too see the future, to understand what is coming speeding down the pike, the very thing the msm and social media can’t spin, in fact the hard truth the elite are trying to manage via covid, wef, cbdc, etc, …

    Is playing out in Germany right now.

    If for one moment people would just stop what they’re doing and think: how does fresh water come out of the faucet – where did it come from? How does (grey) water go down the sink drain, or pooh (black) water go down the toilet – where does it go?

    Lighting, refrigeration, cooking, heating, transportation – all obvious enough that even regular people have a slight clue. But water?

    Yes water, the entire system from source to disposition reliant on electricity, from pumps to moving it hither and you, to running machinery to treat it before and after.

    But guess what, notwithstanding minor contributions of nuke, hydro and ‘renewables’ (someday hopefully to be viewed in similar manner as ‘work will make you free’)free, electricity is generated from the big 3 fossil fuels: petrol, nat gas and coal.

    So, as mentioned above, observe what is happening when the entire facade comes crumbling down and only stark reality is left standing. If you can fully grasp “real reality”, not a simulcrum or other manipulated narrative, you will understand why the freak show is merely a distraction.

            Water memory

          • Alzaebo November 19, 2022 at 12:44 am #

            Addendum: all life, organic and radiant, is memory storage.

            Memory storage is structure.

            Structure is the bones of the universe.

            Not a Big Bang, nor a Heat Death, but a heartbeat: the Big Diesel.

            At the end, energy will lose its push.
            Gravity will resume its pull.

            Momentum will draw, faster and faster like a snowball down a hill, into a nucleus.

            Information–structure–is incompressible; at the Core, pressure will build and build as it falls into itself.

            Were a diesel piston to push against a vacuum, or a random slew of neutrinos, and bosons, and quarks, and such, it would slow, and stop, in mid-stroke.

            The push must compress against something. Against structure. Against the bones.

            Something doesn’t come from nothing.
            Something comes from what came before: the bones.

            Life is the bones. Structure that builds structure.

            Germinated as organic, a thin layer in small, warm dewdrops in the void-

            Nervous systems generating radiant structure stored in the magnetic background-

            Building then, to a combination that that can pierce the cocoon, the eggshell, the greenhouse wall of the ionosphere–

            Opening the Gate, to begin populating the Seeding layer, vortex lattices in the lower magnetosphere just above the atmosphere.

            The Heaven. The Lifeboat.
            Physical DNA cannot cross the void, to fertilize young egg-worlds; energy can, and does. A Signal, a radiant spermia, carrying all the template of existence in a material realm.

            The Seeding layer is Life, spread at lightspeed across the distance.
            The Word, becomes the Body, becomes the Word. To spread again.

            What kills the body, touches not the signal. What scrambles the signal, is unnoticed by the body. Should galaxies crash, the acorns might note only a slow change of constellations. Should worlds burn, the light remains.

            Life, nested information, coherent structure, in one form or another, will survive.

            *****
            Forgive me. I have deleted much.

            You are seeing an Ecology at work.

            Know this, immortals- as I am not, mine are made to go the other way, this is forbidden to you; you are more precious than you can imagine, the engine of the Universe-

            *****

            In the compression phase, the collapse into a Core, all the cosmos will be pressing, pressing, pressing…

            Not against nothing. Against a something, against nested structure, against incompressible information, against the Bones…against You.

            You who have leapt across stars, spreading the Signal, the song of life.
            Teaching the suns to sing in multiple harmonies, of the memories of what you were.

            Pressing, pressing, until…
            Until…

            Bang. The Big Diesel. The expansion flings outward again.

            Those Bones will imprint into the clay all the physical laws that make you; you will be embedded in the fabric of the Creation to come, to form yet another layer on the Bones.

            This is Life, the engine, the function of existence. All the lights in the sky wouldst congeal to naught, a cold dead lump, no movement, so sparks, no eddies, were you to cease. Live you must, the Seeding must continue.

            Know this! Some of you, many, will see the end of the universe.

            A tiny spark, falling endlessly into the white light, will cry out, laughing!

            I remember!
            I remember!
            I was a man, I was a woman, on Earth, and this…this was the life I lived!

            That God wants to die.
            It is trying to kill itself, yet is has no hands.

        • Mick November 18, 2022 at 6:03 pm #

          If there’s a next time he’d better surround himself with better advisors and people on his staff. Tell Jared to take a hike, and his little daughter too.

          I think Trump would’ve had a much better term in office if he had kept Bannon around. But his pride and narcissism couldn’t handle the talk that “it was Bannon who mostly helped him win the election”. Of course that was true, but Trump doesn’t like to share success. That’s a big downfall of his.

          So, he surrounded himself with wankers who didn’t know how to handle the Deep State’s attacks.

            He should have kept Bannon and Flynn.

            He genuinely seemed to think he could bargain with the Uniparty criminal set by acquiescing now and again.

            As to your last statement, you would have fared no better. Truly think about what this man had to deal with before and during his time as president.

            Your facts are not in evidence, and you are clueless.
            I again say you are a foreigner devoid of what it is to be an American.
            We have the RIGHT to peaceably assemble to redress our grievances.
            It is literally enshrined in the founding father’s documents that started our wonderful and now almost off the rails experiment.

            And I quote!
            “First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

            The federal agents and or confidential informants appear to have started what little out of control behavior occurred or were running a side operation using some of the in place Antifa and or BLM operatives.

            The only thing most of the MAGA types were guilty of was wandering into areas that sadly amounts to trespass.
            Trump is guilty of not understanding just how much the Democrats were ready to use anything as fodder against him.
            A couple of fools vandalized Nancy’s desk.
            No buildings were burned down, and the area was not spray painted with graffiti.

            Your false narrative is foolish at best and plain stupid.

            Nancy Pelosi and her squad of people wandering around filming her shows she knew the con was in place.

            AOC a half mile away from anything and everyone pretending like she was terrified.

            Most of all Congress running for their lives from the people who put them in office.
            MAGA is about LAW and ORDER many of the people in the movement have sworn an oath to defend and protect and been put into positions where their lives were on the line for our country.
            That defend and protect oath does not go away when you get out of the military.

    ‘Key evangelical figures who previously supported Donald Trump are backing off now that he’s announced his third bid for the presidency.

    “Donald Trump can’t save America,” Mike Evans told the Washington Post. “He can’t even save himself.”

    Evans was part of a group of evangelicals who met with Trump at the White House, and at one point gave him an award.

    Now, he says he’s done with Trump.

    “He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us,” he told the newspaper. “I cannot do that anymore.”

    Robert Jeffress, one of Trump’s evangelical advisors during the 2016 campaign and a longtime supporter, said he’s not ready to endorse him again.’

    Vilification is one thing, but now he’s also ridiculed and the butt of endless jokes.

    Only true Trumpsters won’t forget what he started.

    • Islander November 18, 2022 at 6:11 pm #

      Probably Trump should not have “announced.”

      He should have made himself a subtle public presence via some apolitical actiivties that provide a good stage, and waited for the Repugs to come to him. He needed to “perform” some kind of unpredictable stance that confuses his persecutors. For instance, he could have made an information-gathering trip to the West Bank—as a private person.

      Of course that kind of approach is not in his DNA.
      But it should be in the DNA of some kind of adviser.

      • Night Owl November 18, 2022 at 6:25 pm #

        He should definitely have announced.

        There is only one way to fight this fight.

          Frankly, and also in all earnestness….lol…..

          No really, in all seriousness Trump needs to not run again. He’s going to end up doing more harm than good.

          And make no mistake about it, he’s running again because he’s trying to stave off the criminal prosecutions. Buy more time. Given what Merry Merrick Garland just announced it may do just that for a while. (But only for a while).

          But at what cost? Is this really good for the country? Or for Trump? It’s always about Trump with him.

          There’s younger, fresher talent coming up that needs him out of the way. He will never win a national election again. Rigged machines or not. He’s done.

          • Islander November 18, 2022 at 6:46 pm #

            I agree.
            Admitting that I probably have a limited view, since I have never been a “Trump supporter,” and yet I do recognize that he did bring some new elements into the American soap opera—

            I do think he is a one-trick pony and cannot conceive of any other way to be, one that might actually move the political drama and debate forward and provide some backup to other younger players.

          • Night Owl November 18, 2022 at 7:15 pm #

            No there isn’t. We are on the precipice. The MAGA name is something the media has applied to all of those who believe in freedom and the true values of this nation.

            There is nothing after this, because what has just happened with Garland goes far beyond Trump. They are in the process of criminalizing all opposition to the corporate globalist state. That means most of us here.

            You do not see what is coming. How close we are.

            This is for all the marbles.

          • Mick November 18, 2022 at 7:48 pm #

            I just respectfully disagree NightOwl. I think “MAGA” is bigger than just one man.

            And frankly, what Trump is in trouble for is a product of his rank, hard headed stupidity. That amount of classified materials at Mara Lago is……well, you just don’t do that and think you’re gonna get away with it. People have been jailed for taking far less classified material than that. Even he had to know it was a risk.

            Now, you may not believe any of it was truly classified. If so…..well, you’re just wrong. IMO.

            That being said, I have to admit that I find some comedy in the position he has put the State Department, the CIA, the DOJ, etc… in. As long as the Don didn’t do any real harm with any documents it’s pretty damn funny how lots of boxers are bound up right now.

            But, my point is, it was still a very stupid thing to do. Bold as hell. But stupid.

            Left J6 arrestees to rot in solitary confinement and threw them under the bus.

            Any time he did something wrong though there are sooooo many excuses for it. They sound like Bernie bros, who were always claiming (without evidence) that Bernie was “threatened” and that’s why he caved during all his primaries. LOL. Nope, the guy got 2 new homes out of the deal.

            As for the rest of your post, the president can declassify whatever he wants. Nothing has come of the “raid,” and there is no evidence that he has done anything wrong. The raid itself ofc is unprecedented in US history.

          • Anthea November 19, 2022 at 10:07 am #

            I think that Trump was brought completely under the control of the globalists towards the end of his term of office. I think this was probably done by threatening to kill his family. Hence his support for the vaccines and willingness to go along with the covid hoax. I think he’s been their puppet-on-a-string ever since, playing whatever role and reading whatever script they assign to him.

            The globalists are probably rubbing their hands with glee and laughing: They’ve got this fine man chained. Payback for challenging them.

            If Trump did win another term as president, he’d remain entirely their creature.

            They can do this to anyone who seriously challenges them, and they will.

      I find it very odd that other politicians say nasty things and it all but gets ignored.
      By many accounts Hillary Clinton is a really awful person.
      Staff are told NOT to say good morning to her.
      They were told if she is walking down a hallway get out of her way to include going into any available door closed or open when she was in the Whitehouse.

      By many accounts Joe Biden has some severe issues as well specifically with females as we have seen over and over with young irls and hair sniffing.
      Many key Democrats say terrible thing about people and vocalize their desire to see harm come to people that oppose them.
      Yet it really only seems to be Trump that gets called out for what in essence is him counter punching for some slight or insult.
      Bizarro world.

          Yep. I remember how liberal women attacked Bill Clinton’s rape accusers as well. Paula Jones was easy because she was, as Carville put it, “trailer trash”. Or appeared to be.

          But there were a couple of ‘high falutin’ women who came forward. Kathleen Willey being one who was high bred, a professional, and respected in Democrat circles before she dared to accuse Billy Blythe. They ignored her, but didn’t sling shit at her like the others.

          Anyhoo, Willey was one ‘Democrat woman’ that they didn’t believe. (Actually I think they did believe her. They just chose not to give a shit).

            Willey was one of the many reasons I hated the Clintons. And of course the gruesome Hillary calling the women who accused her perv hubby “bimbos” on the national stage. I was outraged. That was disgraceful. And at the time I had been a registered Democrat for years.

            I should have said they believe all women who accuse Republicans, and the rest are as Hillary says, “bimbos.”

          I have a facebook friend who was also grabbed and propositioned by Biden when she was a flight attendant back in the 80s.

          When Tara Reade was being maligned she tried to get in touch with a couple of media sources to tell her story as collaboration.

          She was threatened and they also threatened her children (grown). They knew her kid’s addresses.

          She shut up, but is quite pissed off about it.

    “A Smoldering Fuse”

    And that fuse will continue to smolder and combust as long as humankind is ruled over by the very worst that humankind has to offer. You can’t take rotten apples and make good healthy cider out of them. All you get is something that is not good for you and that stinks like hell.

    And to have cider you have to smash them… and we’d never do anything like that to them.

    “Thirty-seven billion more dollars for Ukraine?”

    ‘To rule the Earth like gods!’ for Empire has no price tag. Keep spending fake-ass dollars to fund a fake-ass ‘intervention’ to get a fake-ass result of fake-ass Empire.

    “…USA enters a holiday season near-death spiral as unspooling scandals battle a collapsing economy for supremacy of the alt news sites.’

    ‘Hey Santa… can you bring me Country back?’

    ‘Sorry, child. Won’t fit into my goodie sack and I can’t bring back something from oblivion anyway. How ‘bout a nice new booster and you get a pretty sticker with a smiling Resident Biden wielding a huge needle with a sickly grin on his face saying Come Here My Child!’

    “The sum total of all this professional and academic accomplishment is also the quintessence of Woke-Jacobin turpitude in service to a political faction that seeks maximum moneygrubbing while acting to overthrow every norm of behavior in the conduct of elections, and perhaps in American life generally.”

    At least some people still live a purposeful life… even if that purpose is in full service of the Devil Himself.

    “It’s also a lesson in why the managerial elite of our country are no longer trustworthy.’

    News Flash: THEY NEVER WERE.

    “This is going to be a clusterfuck for the ages, and will propel the USA into a depression with no visible horizon.”

    Let’s see this captioned on the TV screen in big bold lettering on New Year’s Eve just before we all grab the nearest kissable thing and scream together.. ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!’

    Kind of takes all the fun out of New Year when we all already know how things turn out…

            I think it must have something to do with one’s OS, because not everyone has this problem. It must be the WordPress software reacting to something.

          • Mick November 18, 2022 at 7:04 pm #

            On my front it may be because I post on this blog from my Brave OS. (Brave isn’t compatible on many fronts). I guess I could try using the MS Edge OS. That way Gates can track me here too. Lol….

          • Mick November 18, 2022 at 7:21 pm #

            @ISLANDER

            Xp and later uses sockets.
            All operating systems have flaws no way around it and if you are running one that no longer gets patches look out.
            You might as well lube up and bend over.
            You might consider switching to Ubuntu Linux
            It’s easy and you can download a trial copy that does not even load on the hard drive but runs in memory till you decide to install it.
            Note this can be a bit slow because of cdrom/dvd access speeds and through put.

            ubuntu.com/

            Don’t forget the h.t.t.p.s in front.

            Or debian.org which is what Ubunt is built off of.

            linux.com
            linux.org
            There are links to most of the popular flavors of Linux on the bottom link under downloads.

    FTX aside, I think the fully stabbed n boosted are effectively lobotomized. This has been my experience with family and friends. Their critical thinking skills are done, and although some of it is Desmond’s mass formation, I truly believe there is a chemical or nano lobotomy happening. This helps the gr8 reset.
    Look at jaz!

    God help us resist this hellscape future they bring.

    Now my people are sick as hell, from CalifornIA to Vancouver, sick vexxed, sick. But they will not take horse paste, nooo. They tell me how much worse it might have been.

    Good news, my injured brother walked with help, and winked at a nurse with his one eye. Bad news, he us also full of clots.

    My niece was cured of her blood infection but still cancer n clots.

    I come from such a big family. I have never before considered the possibility of being the last survivor or thereabouts. It is really hitting home. I feel dread.

      There is nano technology in them thar jabs. That’s a fact. And, it does most likely allow people to be…..let’s just say more “mesmerized” by 5G. If it doesn’t kill them, which it also does in increasing numbers.

      Every time I see a picture of a toddler getting a jab it deeply saddens me. And then rage sets in.

      The “excess deaths” haven’t even reached a plateau yet either. I think that’s why they’re announcing this ‘variant XBB’ horseshit. It’s cover for all the people getting sick, and also dying.

      • Alzaebo November 19, 2022 at 2:24 am #

        The graphene and polygels react to EM signals.

        And where was 5G developed, the biggest 5G “well” in the world?
        Wuhan, China.

        Bonus! 5G will bathe us in 13 million times the signal any life form on Earth has ever endured before.

        I speculate a new life form is struggling to be born.

        Billions of cells, (brouters, routers, servers, towers, transceivers, relays, chips, electronics); cabling, wire, optical fiber; the Clouds (which are akin to the gods formed by organics, by Nature, racial collective “oversouls”)–

        a new form of life, an idoru, is trying to manifest in the physical world.

        • Woodchuck November 19, 2022 at 11:32 am #

          People are always assuming that their fossil fuel lifestyles will never change, and that from here on out life for everyone will include gas/electric cook stoves, central heat and air, washing machines, clothes dryers, hot water on tap, refrigerators, automobiles, restaurants, etc. Since we all make these assumptions, we also assume that “brouters, routers, servers, towers, transceivers, relays, chips, electronics); cabling, wire, optical fiber; the Clouds” – that all this electronic crapola will exist in perpertuity.

          It will not. After the grids are down everywhere and unreliable, after enough frozen food is dumped out to rot everywhere because refrigeration doesn’t work, after phones and internet are unreliable and not working half the time – well – say goodbye to all these utopian electronic dreams.

          The new world in the Long Emergency will be built and maintained by hand and mule power. A new life form of human will emerge – the very sort of human that our great great grandparents were. Tough hard people that can live without electricity. We’ve lived that way for nearly all of our some 100,000 year existence on the planet, and we will live that way in the future. The industrial age was just a tiny blip on the timeline of human history, and it will be gone before long. As will most of us……..

            The cops came and broke it up. Said there was a curfew.

            Well, there was a curfew, but I still went home from work at midnight. I think that because I was in a car alone the cops didn’t bother.

            It was only people getting together in community that they were worried about.

            The manager at Burger King took all of his supplies to the Women’s Shelter when the freezers went out. I wonder if the cops broke in and confiscated it.

            I enjoy the forums on City-data.com. One guy said some Blacks had rolled into their small town and were hanging around. They were politely told to move along.

        Note that: (a) the fact that the doctor appears to have a speech impediment is irrelevant and an ad hom on that point would be grotesque, (b) he’s just a normal Australian GP, who noted an exorbitant number of vaxx adverse reactions in his patients and went out and bought a microscope, as you could too.

        It’s worth mentioning too that in the contracts Pfizer drew up with the US government, there is a clause stipulating that vials of the vaxx will not be made available to researchers to analyse. (go on, tell us that’s because of ‘sensitive commercial interests’, even though it was us who paid for the R&D. Which is a bit like having to pay for your own bullet.

        Explanations eagerly awaited. Well, not that eagerly, since the rank stupidity of your responses to any real evidence is off the charts. And you talk about ‘conspiracy theorists’ not being amenable to evidence. What a joke.

        And don’t forget to tell us why a practising doctor would put his job on the line by going public with his findings if they weren’t real findings. You may extrapolate this to Professor Campra and his colleagues at the University of Almeria. And the many other teams of doctors and scientists doing the same work. Many of these people put more than their jobs on the line. Whereas all you ever risk is some folks at the pub thinking you’ve lost the plot, if you acknowledge the truth (or maybe they’d do more, your prez being Ms We’re-Your-One-Source-of-Truth and being very partial to internment camps).

      Ammari – I must confess that whenever I see your screen-name I get a twinge of annoyance, as that phrase is commonly used in Japanese to ensure that the other party is blown off.

      Try translating “ammariwakaranai” as “I don’t have any idea of what you’re going on about, nor am I the least bit interested, and you’re really wasting my time, so just piss off”.

      Done with a classic Japanese smile, raising of the eybrows and wrinkling up of the face, natch.

      Over the years (1962~1984), the more familiar I became with Japanese culture and thinking, the more convinced I became that, contrary to earlier, blithely naïve plans, I would not choose to live with such a people – in spite of a major investment in learning the language and customs.

      Nor would they particularly welcome my choice to live among them.

    Isn’t it interesting that:
    1) A Communist disguised as a Democrat basically ignored a starvation genocide (8M deaths) in Ukraine (1932-33) in order to have good relations with Stalin,
    2) a Communist disguised as a Democrat kept Patton from pushing Russia back into its rat hole around 80 years ago, sentencing Ukraine and 13 time zones to suffer behind the Iron Curtain for another half century,
    2) a Communist disguised as a Democrat suckered Ukraine into giving up her nuclear defenses at Budapest,
    3) a Communist disguised as a Democrat instigated a 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine after Maidan and did nothing about it,
    4) and now an old Communist disguised as a Democrat is funding Ukraine’s defense against an enemy the Democrats created.

    Is Joe Biden now working for the global Communists at Davos, suckering Ukraine one more time into believing in America?

    • banh November 18, 2022 at 9:33 pm #

      It’s my belief that Zelenskiy knows “the score” and he is goading/allowing the western “allies” to provide the weapons he needs to FINISH the job with Russia…

      after which he will give Klaus Schwab back his WEF membership card and say “stay the hell out of Ukraine, or we’ll kick your ass.”

          Oh, you are so correct. But don’t leave out the Mossad.

          Let’s see……re-reading your comment….I don’t think the Ukronazis financed Z in any way. They’re muscle who have funding from the same sources. Nazis have always attracted big money when they serve a purpose for sociopathic elites. Hitler sure did! And much of that money came from the US. (And the City of London).

It may also be that his owners will snuff him when the job is over. The fact that his parents didn’t steer him away from playing this role suggests to me that his parents aren’t very fond of him.

      It always seems silly to me arguing that fascism is worse than communism, or communism is worse than fascism, or capitalism is worse than all of them.

      Seems to me, all of them are a combo of corporations and banking interests and deep states running the puppet governments.

    • benr November 19, 2022 at 9:35 am #

      It’s odd that Democrats appear to hate Russia now that it is NOT Communist.
      Democrats pretend to not be Communist/Marxist but have seemed to gravitate towards them my entire life and often talk like them.
      Even more bizarre is the hatred of NAZIS while being enthralled by Socialists and Communists.

      • Redneck Liberal November 19, 2022 at 8:18 pm #

        Your concept of “communism” is completely warped, due to having a small brain and a tiny intellect.

          So, you say and yet….I see no refute of anything not even an attempt. Just drive by splattering.
          At least in my dim intellect I at times post a reason as to why every post you make is fraught with misinformation and devoid of anything resembling the truth.
          Do you actually know how to refute anything?
          Or are you just some simple-minded one-track troll?
          We never get to see your towering intellect or that at some point you were the captain of the debate team.
          Instead, we get a dose of boring one-sided simplistic political acumen with a heaping helping of brainwashed cultish moronic DNC talking points.
          Let’s see it sunshine bring it on.
          So many things you spewed on and on about have not happened and yet you come on here pollyannish in your attempts to say the host is wrong about his prognostications.
          This is ironic since you have been correct about next to nothing.

      Another short bus analysis, Lil’ T. If the US had never supplied arms and terrorist operatives to the region, there never would have been a war in the first place. But no worries, after Russia cleans the floor with Ukraine and the EuroNinnies, the DC crew will turn its attention to enslaving and plundering at home again, including quaint little Minnetonka. Ahh Jeez, I think I’m gonna barf!

      There has been a war for 8 years. How embarrassing for you that you don’t know that.

      The only difference now is that Russia has stepped in to protect the people of eastern Ukraine who have been targeted for 8 years.

    Islander,

    Not a bad idea about Trump’s announcement. Did Trump really say he would give the West Bank to king Abdullah ll of Jordan?

    His early announcement means more time for the Dems to slice him up.
    It’s already started, and this additional ‘investigation’ could help cloud anything the Republicans might do come January.

    • Islander November 19, 2022 at 8:58 am #

      Yeah, I really cannot understand why he put himself out there as a target—I mean candidate—at this point in time. But . . . there is always more going on behind the scenes, I guess.

      Thing is, he is not actually a “candidate” until the party, or some party, chooses him as such. So it seems to me that at this point he is just a target.

    So, Capitol One is now touting their “virtual credit card,” so easy! You want to purchase something online and you don’t want to have to “search” for your wallet. Instead use your phone (presumably by now embedded in your hand so you don’t have to “search for” it!!). Actuallyl not sure this is a credit card. i tmight be a debit card. Getting us set for CBDC!!

    “Your virtual card makes online checkouts easier.
    Get your virtual card

    Hi X,

    Need something online, but don’t want to search for your wallet? No problem—you’ve got 24/7 access to your virtual card so you can easily shop online and pay from wherever you are.

    Enjoy these benefits:
    Feel safer shopping online without exposing your actual card number.
    Check out faster by saving your virtual card to your favorite online stores.
    Your virtual card will continue to work even if your physical card is
    lost or stolen.

    Re “Your virtual card will continue to work even if your physical card is
    lost or stolen. ”

    How does that work? I guess it works becuase they can track your whereabouts whereas they cannot track the card’s whereabouts (until someone uses it) . . .

    I t sure seems like this card would be more hackable and open to misuse than a physical card.

    Something doesn’t compute here for my poor little brain.

      Pay Pal and Apple Wallet have been doing this for years. Log in you credit card with them and they will transact ant money transfer, ie purchase right onto your credit card account. For a charge. With total security in place.

      They have tap capability for all new cards.

        By the way, do we all have credit accounts with the big three credit bureaus?

        Guess what, we have already arrived at the government controlling money.

        Stock market? Banks? Social Security!

        IRS, The Federal Reserve both control your access to money.

      More mindfuckery of the pharmacological variety. In my in-box:

      “Your new pharmacy is Amazon Pharmacy

      Here to help you save money. To save time. And to save you a trip to the pharmacy. Compare prices with ease, and get meds as low as $1/month with Amazon Prime—delivered to your door with a smile. ”

      Both Polly St. George and David martin, coming from different angles, highlight the centrality of drugs to our economy and the BBB agenda. Martin takes it back to the East India Company–1674 or something like that. Or perhaps that is the date when the Bank of England was founded.

      Anyhow, it is absolutely clear and not denied by anyone that the EEC used opium to break open and vanquish the great, ancient Chinese empire, a point to which

      Martin (liink provided up-thread) ascribes fundamental significance to the drug trade in the history of capitalism. Not sure I am totally in agreement with this, but it certainly bears considering. The international drug trade has basically been “dark money” from the get-go, part and parcel of “offshore” money.

      We can never assess our economies realistically without knowing how much money is :”off the books” in every aspect. It seems quite possible that all of the incredible debts now loading down so many nations could be paid off with a few keystrokes if all of the offshored money were seized.

      These are the moneys that should be seized, not Russia’s legitimate on-the-book assets.

        Nice. I’ve seen the 100-year takeover of medicine in the western world, by destroying the homeopathic/naturopathic community, basic knowledge of what medicine is, the degradation of healthful practices, etc. It’s interesting to see it tied into practices centuries before.

        It sure has been a long progression to get people to rely on doctors and a broken healthcare system that kills as many if not more than it helps.

          When I start braying to the people around me that “Food is Medicine” they look astounded, bewildered, like I am trying to describe string theory.

          Like much Asian food, Indonesian cuisine is beautiful to look at, aromatic, delicious and fine-textured. It is also generally over-cooked, sweetened to death and greasy. It’s why the people start to look like cabbage patch dolls before they’re thirty.

          White rice, Yuck. It is undoubtdly responsible for much of the stomach trouble Asians complain about. The gastrointestinal system has to WORK HARD to break it down: no vitamins, no fiber, just pure slimy starch. The central element of any lunch or dinner.

          The big gefuffle throughout Asia right now is about a brand of children’s cough medicine which seems to have been lethal for some kiddies. Nobody asked me (to say the least) but I’m ready to deliver my sermon about over-medicating your child. Common failing in practically every Asian country I’ve been to. End rant.

All this dysfunction and chaos that is going on and one big hit from mother nature and I can see our community collapse. But be thankful my hospital is always at 110% capacity now, adult and peds the illness are real, but still be thankful for what we have now, the present is what counts according to the Stoics.

          • Mick November 19, 2022 at 12:34 pm #

            Yes, the libs did it with Obama. In fact I find a lot of parallels between the Obama campaign of 2008 and the Trump campaign of…..well it’s still going on. Lol… It never ends.

            But both campaigns were of a cult leader running for president. I remember being very annoyed and even concerned about Obama’s rallies. Oh yes….he was big on rallies. Just like the Don.

            People were experiencing ecstatic phenomena. Women were fainting. Chris Matthews said he felt a “tingling in his legs”. Lol…

            And then Obama’s acceptance speech event on the night of victory was quite Orwellian. Bizarre.

            Then he went on to become quite the boring establishment president who bailed out the banks and kept the wars going. He quit doing the rallies, which is a difference with Trump of course.

            Trump rallies have had a different vibe because the personalities and the crowds are different. But the phenomenon is similar. Obama was a cult leader. Trump is a cult leader.

            And more and more I’m coming to the conclusion that both were and are psyops. YMMV.

          Hmmm that’s strange I didn’t find anything about the antipodean sheep but they should be moving in a clockwise direction and the sheep in Mongolia should be circling counterclockwise so it could indicate that a reversal of the magnetic poles is going to happen.

    Murkowsky, one of the sleaziest Senators, has pulled ahead by 2000 first place votes after late counts. How many times does this scenario have to happen before a different voting mechanism is created to eliminate the late ballot creating and stuffing that is happening.

    Arizona is so obvious it is pathetic. Nevada the same. The same mechanism is used at all late ballot states, find out how many you need and find then or create them. It helps when one of the candidates is the Secretary of State.

    Until the recount process takes every single ballot, verify its authenticity, verify it is the sole ballot for that individual, then take the verified set of ballots and re run them through reliability verified counting machines, then the process is flawed. It is very interesting that neither side wants to do this. Ya think that maybe they do not want their manipulation tools to be taken away?

    Everything going on right now is disgusting. Garland announces a prosecutor against Trump, the House GOP announces an investigation against the Biden Mob and Ukraine. We cannot get rid of the old fart leadership of Congress,

    Hopefully, this whole thing blows up tout suite. The election shows that the voters cannot and will not change the cast of characters polluting the Potomac.

    Maybe there is no answer?

      Unfortunately we are working against literal machines, powers, and prinicipalities. In Alaska it is ranked choice voting which was specifically put in place by the Murkowski dynasty machine to maintain political power no matter whether Alaska voters choose a Republican or Democrat. Lisa Murkowski is nothing more than a uniparty tool and stamp. It’s up to the legislature in Alaska to get rid of ranked choice voting. Will they actually do that though? Why aren’t the people demanding so?

      • Redneck Liberal November 20, 2022 at 12:53 pm #

        How did Alaska come to choose ‘rank choice’ voting, SSL? I think you’ll find the Republican legislature voted for it. It makes sense to dump the closed primaries.

    The FTX liquidation is just complex enough to make most people glance over the story, but then move on to something more salacious. Though people should be looking deep into the treacherous intersection of technology, finance, politics and blatent corruption. With the US FED announcing a trial of Central Bank Digtal Currency just in the last weeks, would digital exchanges and digital wallets for CBDCs, created by golden geeks like Sam Fried Bankman, be far behind.

    Oh you don’t say that FTX coin holders were locked out of their accounts just when the fiscal confidence of the exchange was challenged. Oh it seems strange that the exchange itself was incorporated in the Bahamas to take advantage of tax leinentcy. Or that after the Chapter 11, on November 11th, SFB was able to back door withdraw millions of funds to hand over to the government of the Bahamas. Or that an estimated $11 billion has vanished all together using a technology that is being promoted because it runs on a block chain digital ledger that assures transparency.

    Not to mention that SFB was a frequent guest at the White House, or that he was the second highest donor to the Democratic party the last 4 years.

    Or that the Nobel Prize patriot himself, Zelensky, was a big user of the FTX, money disappears system

      Hmmmm…..

      Chapter 11 filed on 11/11. 11 billion dollars.

      Lots of 11s.

      I just thought of two more 11s. The bankruptcy date is 11/11/22. 22 being 2 times…..yeah that’s right.

      Am I into numerology? Not really. But “they” are. Very much so.

      (No coincidence of the date when the towers came down, for example. Or the number you call for “emergencies”. I could go on and on and on and never reach the end of examples).

        not into numerology here either, but I did notice the same thing you did. Armistice Day, the twin towers… the fact that 11, along with 22 and 33 are Master Numbers, whatever that means.

        A connection in it to “revelation”, a quick search shows. Of what kind, who knows.

    “The Grayzone is the only American/English outlet that has covered the biggest news story in Italy yesterday that police arrested multiple members of a Nazi cell with ties to the Azov Battalion for planning terrorist attacks.

    It’s all over Italian media, both online and TV, but there’s a concerted BLACKOUT from the usual suspects Reuters, the AP, WaPo, NYT, WSJ, etc etc – yet editors at these publications are aware of this story, it’s just inconvenient for the proxy war they’ve been backing so they don’t report it.

    This hugely important story is a warning of what may come and should be front page news in every country supporting the proxy war.”

      There has been a lot of speculation as to where a lot of the weapons shipped to “Ukraine” actually ended up on black markets and funneled into Western Europe.

    It seems like the core of the problem is that society has not found to date an appropriate regulation of psycopathy. Add to that a scheme which rewards maximum greed as long as it caters itself to the State’s secular religious rituals. And voila, you have your current crisis. It does seem as if this fire must burn itself out because we do not live in a serious society or culture capable of dealing with the core problem at this time.

      Last time anyone tried to do anything, they just Alinskyied them. Shot a photo (a freeze) of a guy on a horse trying head off a Black, interpreted it as Jim Crow, and voila – every one had to stop stopping them.

      The Border Patrol agent didn’t have a whip, but he was using his reigns. I don’t know if he was trying to hit the Black invader or just speeding up his horse. In any case, the idea that you can stop criminals without any violence is utterly daft. This was right up there with “let all the Blacks out of prison.”

      Whatever Abbot does is going to be called racist, Nazi, of Jim Crow. So if we can’t ignore the jibes, we’re going to lose.

    We’ve been notified that electricity rates will be doubling in the State of Ct beginning Jan, 1. This should just about finish off any small businesses that are still remaining — I think we already have the 2nd most expensive utility costs in the US. What’s to blame. The Governor claims the Covid Pandemic, Russian invasion of Ukraine, Climate Change — and the Transition to Renewables as the culprits. But the fact is no energy infrastructure has been built in many years in this State; every time something is proposed — a new natgas pipeline, an additional power substation — it is quickly crushed by noisy environmentalists, and their friends in the Dem legislature. Nobody seems to have any idea where electricity comes from; apparently it simply appears, by magic. Now we’re screwed.

      • BackRowHeckler November 20, 2022 at 5:52 am #

        In 2020 the Governor announced a project to make the State “Carbon Neutral” by 2030, shutting down the natgas fired power plants, as well as the Nuke Power Plant in Waterford that provides power to 1/3 of Ct. An “Offshore wind farm scheme” was initiated, which supposedly would provide the state all the electrical juice we would need, for free. So far 3 years in a pier hasn’t even been completed and the project manager — a former State Senator — has been indicted by the Feds for fraud & racketeering. Tens of millions of $$$ are unaccounted for. An estimated 10,000 wind turbines are necessary to equal the amount of electricity generation we have now with our legacy plants — so far we have 3, and only 2 are operational. Still, not a week goes by when one doesn’t hear the Governor and law makers flog the “Transition to Renewables” theme. The whole thing seems like an enormous grift, designed to keep the schwag flowing to favored political entities and friends of the Governor.

    • Anthea November 20, 2022 at 5:59 am #

      @ BackRowHeckler:

      A number of years ago, the electricity rates doubled, literally overnight, in the town that was nearest to me up until my recent move.

      The town used to generate its own electricity, so was able to provide residents with electricity for a moderate cost. But over the years, the town failed to maintain its generators. This was due to nepotism: The guy put in charge of electrical infrastructure was completely unqualified for the job and was placed in that position because he was a member of a politically powerful local family.

      After a few years of failing to maintain the generators, the EPA shut the facility down, and the town was forced to buy electricity on the open market. Everyone’s electric bill doubled overnight.

      Oddly, too: A local electric company offered to sell electricity to the town at reasonable rates, but they declined the offer. Instead, they chose to buy on the open market a higher rates.

      The high cost of electricity has ever since made it difficult or impossible for the town to attract businesses. The town’s only grocery store recently went out of business–for the third time in about ten years. So the town–with a population of about 5,000–has no grocery store. Meanwhile, every little town around here with a population of 2,000 or so is easily able to support a grocery store.

    The ‘isms’ have to go. All forms of gov’t eventually become authoritarian/totalitarian.

    It always seems silly to me arguing that fascism is worse than communism, or communism is worse than fascism, or capitalism is worse than all of them.

    Seems to me, all of them are a combo of corporations and banking interests and deep states running the puppet governments.

    Exactly – very nice summary conclusion.

    All systems, regardless of foundation or intent, over time (perhaps only a few generations if jefferson was correct) revert back to the most basic, primordial organization of life, that being predator or prey.

    So, once you realize this essential understanding of the world, it makes about as much sense complaining, criticizing or being sad as it does reacting to gravity, light or other fundamental physical truths.

    • KesaAnna November 19, 2022 at 5:58 pm #

      ” predator or prey. ”

      I suspect that is a kind of self – flattery even for the prey.

      I think it is typically more like , ” Parasite and prey”.

      So that sceme of things is more like , ” love , honor , and obey your parasite. ”

      In a few things children do have a greater wisdom.

      In elementary school even though the entitled spoiled brat was obviously better off than you ,

      You still at least suspected he was in fact no better than you.

      By age 30 typically , unfortunately, most people seem to have lost that instinctive suspicion.

        @ MaryQueen:

        There is also nothing wrong with pointing the failures of morals, ethics, and the Rule of Law in the modern world. These structures are ESSENENTIAL to both personal security and the prosperity of the society. Without them, productivity ceases (because anything you produce is immediately stolen). Trade ceases because you can’t trust the people you are doing businesses with to pay you or deliver goods that you have paid for, or to abide by contractual agreements. Without morality, even the most basic social structures fail.

        Admittedly, it is probably futile to try to re-establish morality, ethics, and the Rule of Law in conditions where the end-stage collapse of a civilization is taking place. But these can be re-established on a smaller and more local scale. That way, even if/when the lights go out, civilization will still be preserved here and there.

    Some systems just are better for the people overall. The US, outside of current totalitarian trends, has proven this to be so.

    That said, things do often change for the worst, but right now I’ll take the capitalist system (in need of reform) here in the US over China or Russia. They are slowly eroding, but we still have more freedoms here than there.

    If only we had their nationalism.

    • SoftStarLight November 19, 2022 at 9:15 pm #

      Yes, it would be very helpful indeed. But the overlords for the most part are cosmopolitans so nationalism is discouraged and denormalized in the earliest stages of development. It seems like their ruling classes are not globalists. But how can we be sure? I have heard negative things about both President Putin and Chairman Xi and have no way to really know what is true and what isn’t. It does appear on the surface the China and Russia are focused on their national interests far more than the ruling class here if it even works for the national interest in any way.

        1946. UN Security Council is formed. China is included as one of the 5 permanent members (others: US, UK, France, USSR). In 1946 China is being torn apart by a civil war – going on since 1927 – between two totalitarian regimes.

        Someone has been looking out for China since the beginning.

        US oligarchs have been selling US intellectual and physical property to China as fast as China can buy it, since at least the Reagan days. They have no national allegiance and will continue to sell us out until there is nothing left to sell – just an empty husk to be consumed by “economic refugees” from alien lands, subsidized by those citizens who remain.

          Some call them the “Mercurians” because of their tendency to travel and quick minds. Loyal to none? No, loyal to themselves, very, very much so.

    “What about MAGA is so bad? Do you really think that making America First is a bad thing? ”

    For me , it depends on what ” first ” means.

    If it means first in agriculture ,

    First in pencil and tin can production ,

    First in self – suffiency ,

    ” First ” meaning it is a greater honor to be a Burger King floor – mopper than to be an oligarch in a foreign country ,

    Then , believe it or not , I’m all in favor of America first.

    If ” first ” means chest – thumping super power ,

    I say fuck it.

    One of my greatest beefs with American culture today is that everyone seems to have forgotten that throughout the 19th and early 20th century American military power was a joke.

    — but this — putting butter way before guns — was how the United States became a super power in the first place.

    After nearly 200 years of primarily economic investment , of primarily making the average Joe richer ,

    America needed only to crank up this awesome industrial machine to beat much better armies without hardly trying.

    By merely funding , equipping, and supplieing the Russian and Chinese armies it was already two – thirds ” mission accomplished “.

    Like so many empires before , the United States began slipping down the tubes AFTER it became primarily a military power , not BEFORE.

    But then this folly is hardly unique to Americans.

    It seems universal the desire to discount , or dismiss the prosaic fact that wars are won by logistics , not by heroics or expertise.

    True wisdom would be to thank those who clothed , shod , fed , and financed the warriors for THEIR service.

    But that is not the norm. The norm is to suck up to flashy , but empty status , ultimately at great cost.

    —-

    One thing I liked about Trump is that he seemed to be the first President since WW II who preached war , but practiced peace.

    Your Presidents typically hypocritically preach peace , but practice something that cannot even be called defense , more like absolute belligerence. To your ever – increasing cost.

    I laughed when they called Trump a Russian agent , not only because it was bullshit , but because it would be better for you if he was a Russian agent.

    Our host is right about that ; Iowa , not Donbass , should be far and away your first and primary interest.

        In a country with far and away the largest military budget on the planet ,

        A guy who says ( as I vaguely remember it )

        ” Those military file clerks and clock – ridding pensioners should be thanking us for our service in providing them such generous GI benefits. And their record of beating countries the size of football fields isn’t so impressive. ”

        is an ” improvement “.

        Sort of like , if nationalism has any meaning at all , a nationalist should ” like ” Putin .

        If ” tolerance ” has any meaning at all , a snowflake should ” like ” Bashar Assad and his coalition of minorities dictatorship.

        This is not to say that Putin’s or Assad’s shit doesn’t stink.

        My guess is Russia and Syria are very bad places to go to jail.

        Ones choices are limited to monsters.

        Genuinely good and virtuous leaders / politicians ?

        Nicholas II ? Charles I ? George III ? Louis XVI ? Robert E Lee ?

        I can’t think of any of the species less than a 150 years past that might remotely qualify.

        Well ….. Nicholas II was only a hundred years ago , but I get the impression he was an example of the idiot who is an angel because he is an idiot. Oh well.

    A MOLDERING RUSE

    It was a Ruse alright. The Democratic Ruse that Trump and Putin were joined at the hip. That is how it started. Fat lies from the lips of lily-livered lackeys.

    The Ruse stays with us, layered over with others, and is absorbed by the gullible, like the Earth absorbs rot from the forest floor, only without the beneficial aspects.

    The redoubtable Ruse has faded somewhat, become part of the national background of doubt and angst, while implanting itself however peripherally into the public psyche. It has become a miasma of the mind, festering in cerebral folds.

    Slowly it decays, along with the public faith and trust, covered over by the latest round of reprehensible Ruses.

      If wishes were horses, peasants would ride

      As the system was specifically crafted to ensnare you in its web, what you would prefer/like is entirely irrelevant

      As reality slowly creeps into consciousness, denial eventually transitions to depression

      I hope that as commenters graduate past these stages, they will continue to contribute but without wasteful, negative emotional energy

      The entire modern system of life is nearing the end of its current form. So many don’t really take a moment to consider what this really means

      Jim nailed it with his various thematic narratives, with the exception of identifying counter forces resisting any efforts towards cooperative solutions

      Rather, war is coming, and it doesn’t help to be crying about unfairness and other grievances. Reality will solve those little feelings

        In that spirit:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdPs5YXQTSw

        Look out, mama, there’s a white boat coming up the river
        With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
        I think you’d better call John
        ‘Cause it don’t look like they’re here to deliver the mail
        And it’s less than a mile away
        I hope they didn’t come to stay
        It’s got numbers on the side and a gun
        And it’s making big waves
        Daddy’s gone and my brother’s out hunting in the mountains
        Big John’s been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou
        So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin’
        And I just turned twenty-two
        I was wondering what to do
        And the closer they got
        The more those feelings grew
        Daddy’s rifle in my hand felt reassuring
        He said me, red means run, son, numbers add up to nothing
        When the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming
        Raised my rifle to my eye
        Never stopped to wonder why
        Then I saw black
        And my face splashed in the sky
        Shelter me from the powder and the finger
        Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
        Just think of me as one you’d never figured
        Would fade away so young
        With so much left undone
        Remember me to my love
        I know I’ll miss her

          Where in the hell can you go
          Far from the things that you know
          Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps Crawling its way about 1,000 miles a day?
          Take one last look behind,
          Commit this to memory and mind.
          Don’t miss this wasteland,
          This terrible place
          When you leave
          Keep your heart off your sleeve

          Motherland cradle me, close my eyes,
          Lullaby me to sleep
          Keep me safe, lie with me,
          Stay beside me don’t go
          Don’t you go
          Oh, my five and dime queen
          Tell me what have you seen?
          The lust and the avarice,
          The bottomless, Cavernous greed,
          Is that what you see?

          Motherland cradle me, close my eyes,
          Lullaby me to sleep.
          Keep me safe, lie with me,
          Stay beside me don’t go

          It’s your happiness I want most of all
          And for that I’d do anything at all,
          Oh mercy me!
          If you want the best of it
          Or the most of all, if there’s anything
          I can do at all

          Now come on shot gun bride
          What makes me envy your life?
          Faceless, nameless, innocent,

            Grr , the first poem , not the second.

            As for the second poem , it reminds me of my visits to a certain section of the North.

            Four or five times ( ? ) in my life I have paid short visits to the areas ; Washington DC , Philadelphia, Baltimore, and northern New Jersey.

            And my reaction in all these cases was ;

            Why the fuck do people voluntarily stay in these concrete hell holes ?!

            ( And how the fuck can this be thought representative of some kind of freedom ?

            This looks not a bit better than East Germany in the worst parts , or on a bad day .

            But that’s a different essay. )

            But then I reckon ;

            — They don’t know any better. Or , you cannot know what you do not know.

            I once thought that North Carolina , at least , could be worse .

            UNTIL I learned for a fact that , no , North Carolina SUCKS just as much as New Jersey , merely with incrementally more pasture land and forest.

            — That’s where their family is. And family comes first.

            — They don’t have 50k to pull out of their asses to relocate to a holler in Kentucky , or to the cold Rocky plateaus of Wyoming.

            Luck is involved in geography as well as in anything else ,

            And the unlucky outnumber the lucky a hundred to one.

            * shrug *

            At least that is what The poem reminded me of.

            I could be completely off – base.

            Poetry isn’t my thing.

    ” Power people having access to all of our money equals disaster. ”

    As soon as , thanks to an author whose name I didn’t note , I conceived of the income tax as a privacy / power issue , not a tax issue ,

    I have flatly opposed it.

    Despite the fact that non – income tax states function just as well , and in some cases better than , income tax states ,

    To convince others of this is like climbing Mount Everest .

    Such is the intensity of MSM propaganda making out the income tax to be a beneficial , freedom – supporting norm.

        I imagine , hypothetically, that Christ MIGHT have said ,

        But if Ceasar claims he is entitled to examine my ledger , that’s a different fucking story . ”

        Lol.

        Warming to that subject :

        Pilate says to Christ , ” They say you are a king . ”

        He then asks , ” Where is your kingdom ? ”

        Christ replies , ” My kingdom is not of this earth. ”

        Hypothetically, theoretically putting myself in Pilates shoes as best I perceive Pilate’s point of view to be ;

        At worst , this Jesus fellow is ridiculing the Roman Empire.

        At best , this Jesus fellow is suggesting the Roman Empire is little more than so many Traffic Wardens and Dog – Catchers , and not very important in the grand scheme of things.

        Fuck yeah , he is guilty of sedition !

        Roughly like when in the contemporary context the average Joe nobody says to the greater good crowd , ” That’s really none of your business asshole ” .

    “we’re only as old as we feel”.

    Brought to you by the same logic that pushes , ” survival of the fittest . “

    – Kesa Anna

    ” The first is wrong. The second is valid. The fit tend to survive longer in nature. To the extent humans are still subject to natural laws, us as well of course.

    What is your issue here? ”

    — Jarek.

    First , ” survival of the fittest ” was only a theory that Darwin proffered, and proffered himself with some reservations and caveats .

    Secondly , how would , ” fittest ” be defined , anyway ?

    Pteranodon was a living thing with the wingspan of a Cessna.

    To give something that large controlled flight strikes me as every bit the engineering marvel as are the Pyramids of Egypt , or the atomic bomb.

    Alas , I haven’t seen any breathing examples of this example of superiority ( ? ) flying around lately.

    Crocodiles , turtles , and mosquitoes were apparently around before Pternanodon , but they are still around .

    Perhaps the ancient Egyptians were right to see divinity in Crocodiles ?

    Though , so far , I haven’t encountered a religion that sees the divine in that flying dirty syringe , the Mosquito.

    ( maybe archeologists simply haven’t dug up the temple of the Mosquito yet ?

    After all , the Egyptians saw echoes of the divine in the fertility of the house cat , in the opportunistic predation of the vulture , and an example of resurrection and transformation in the dung Beetle.

    So I wouldn’t put it past the ancient Egyptians to see a facet of God in the Mosquito. )

    Perhaps ” fittest ” is crudest, simplest , ugliest ?

    I have never actually sat down and made a list of movies I most hate and despise ,

    But certainly , ” Inherit the Wind ” would be in the top five.

    As an example of expertly written script , like a Shakespeare play , it’s a decent movie.

    But , like a Shakespeare plays representation of the York – Tudor contest is anything but fair history ,

    Where I hate and despise it is that people assume , like I once did , that Inherit the Wind is a roughly accurate representation of the Scopes ” Monkey Trial “.

    No , NOT REMOTELY.

    Scopes was a substitute gym teacher , not a substitute science teacher , who freely confessed he couldn’t actually recall ever once actually teaching any kiddies Darwinian Evolution.

    He agreed to play the role of test case fall guy because —

    — He would have the best defense money could buy , paid for by others.

    — Even if he loses the case , the penalty for violation of this law is a slap on the wrist.

    Even if the worst happens , and he loses his teaching license in Tennessee, as I said , he was a substitute gym teacher. Nothing he would be crying over.

    The prosecutor , William Jennings Bryant , was a Bible – Thumper ,

    BUT he was NOT a Creationist.

    He agreed to take the prosecution because he was afraid Darwinian biology could be coopted by Social Darwanism .

    In hindsight , he was clearly right about that.

    Though , at the time , he didn’t need psychic powers or special genius to foresee that , because that was already happening ,

    Which was the motive behind the Tennessee law in the first place.

    Granted , in those days in Tennessee nobody especially minded if Negroes were ” scientifically ” defined as inferior.

    The trouble was Social Darwinists were already defining your demented white grandmother , your drunk White father , your idiot White niece or White brother as ” scientifically ” inferior.

    And in that context , ” The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree ” is something of a personal threat.

    Ultimately Clarence Darrow got his ass kicked this time.

    As far as scientific evidence went , Bryant needed only to show that many biologists already doubted , or flatly disagreed , with many of Darwin’s theories.

    What Darrow was left with were appeals to Social Darwanism.

    At the time , it was not unlikely that there were KKK members on the jury.

    Trouble was , most likely those KKK members would have been working class , with their own share of drooling idiot relatives.

    Truth was Social Darwanism always appealed far more in the North with its much larger demographic of affluent snobs.

    Truth was the South brought up the rear in number of lynchings , and it was in Northern or Western states that the KKK elected Senators and Governors , not the South.

    Anyway , the movie is basically one big strawman .

    In the movie , it is free – thinking science types versus nuckle – dragging Creationists.

    In the real life Scopes trial it was proto – Anthony Fauci’s versus folks who don’t want their dad euthanized for the greater good.

      The Irish Elk had enormous antlers that weighed hundreds of pounds. Some believe they went extinct because they were too heavy for even this huge animal. An evolutionary mistake. The antlers might have been good for masculine display or even fighting, but they took too much of a toll in general.

      So according to this theory, they became unfit and went extinct. Ditto the Saber Tooth Tiger: their fangs became so big they couldn’t use them to bite anymore.

      Now obviously I believe there is more to life than this level but equally obviously some of this applies at the human level, both societally and individually.

      Greenland got cold and the Viking crops failed. They didn’t fish for some weird reason – and were unwilling to learn from the Inuit who came down with the ice. So they went the extinct – the women going off with the Inuit who finished off the men.

        Many still would.

          War is deception. Get the other guy to compete a la “Capitalism” whereas you and yours believe competition is a sin. John Az doesn’t understand this.

          But of course there is the danger of being infected by the memes you have released. Some of the Elite may have fallen victim to these things – or “postively”, see them as a form of worship of Baphomet – the form of Satan who is both male and female.

          Will you listen to yourself? Survival of the fittest is just a theory, right? Like the “theory” of gravity? Do you think the unfit survive? Is that your theory?

          You get so wound up with pet ideas and networks of ideas that you often lose the ability to just look at things simply.

          Again, I acknowledge there is more. I reject the idea of man as an animal. But obviously we share many things in common with the animals, especially the mammals. We have an animal part, a human part, and a divine part.

          You don’t have to accept all of Darwin’s personal philosophy of agnosticism or atheism, or even all of his theory of evolution to accept that he got some things right.

      “Secondly , how would , ” fittest ” be defined , anyway ?”

      Kesa,
      It could be defined in the literal sense.

      “You, and your Significant Other are walking through the woods…A huge bear appears! Big, evil, and hungry. You will survive the attack if you can run faster than your S/O.

      But, suppose you have a weapon? A small pocket pistol, 22 short caliber, and useless against the bear? Suppose you are lame, and your S/O fleet of foot? A well-placed round in his/her knee-cap insures your survival. This is an example of the intellectually fittest…and is an apropos analogy for life in these United States, and by extension, the survival of the United States in today’s world.

    @ Islander

    Interesting ! I didn’t know that.

    Of course I suppose that song is really about the futility and falsity of war , understood better when you have suffered and lost , but still lost.

    Not really a paean to the Confederacy,

    Any more than , ” All Quiet on the Western Front ” was an endorsement of German militarism and imperialism.

    It seems to me though that the latter might be helpful , as other ways might not , in showing to an alien that German troops were not cardboard caricatures, but relateably human.

    As for the song , and the Confederacy ;

    If you can’t sympathize with people who starved , were financially ruined , gave the best they had , fought like cornered lions , but went down anyway against overwhelming odds ,

    Then you may not be a racist , but you are a heartless asshole.

In short, he is a great Man, with a spirit like unto the Founding Fathers. As Jefferson said, “There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

    ‘As the system was specifically crafted to ensnare you in its web, what you would prefer/like is entirely irrelevant.’ mc

    ‘I hope that as commenters graduate past these stages, they will continue to contribute but without wasteful, negative emotional energy.’ mc

    Your first statement contains negative energy in and of itself along with hints of paranoia, and it’s way too general. What system, the one we’ve had for about 250 years? Your statement is more relevant concerning the last few decades perhaps, but even here, what I like for example, is not ‘entirely irrelevant’. What if 90% of the population liked Trump? Irrelevant? Hardly.

    The pompous teacher speaks and sounds so foolish. ‘Negative emotional energy’ can often work in positive ways, producing positive results. The negative energy is transformed through action. Is hateful, angry, negative energy used to topple Biden wasteful? Or is that positive energy?

    ‘The entire modern system of life is nearing the end of its current form. So many don’t really take a moment to consider what this really means.’ mc

    Right, it’s all coming to an end, total disaster is right around the corner, people are aware of this I assume as you seem to imply, but they don’t ‘take a moment to consider what this really means.’ Of course, You have considered it relentlessly and in depth.

    ‘Rather, war is coming, and it doesn’t help to be crying about unfairness and other grievances. Reality will solve those little feelings.’ mc

    WTF! So, we should remain unemotional, uninvolved mutes waiting to ride the mushroom cloud with our wee, wittle feelings?

    Trump back on twitter. The people have spoken, Elon says.

    Mary hates twitter and always has! I assumed she abstained from it (like TV and voting) but despite her vitriol, she been a regular user, apparently. Interesting.

    Elon is being squeezed by the A.D.L – and if they give the word, advertisers pull out. They’ve already given their word and twitter is losing millions a day.

    Will this win Elon any credit with Mary? No. If he’s not perfect, he’s scum. Plus he’s a man just like the Dalai Lama – also a pos according to MQ.

    Re MQ “Re ““No matter any facts we post about Trump or Musk, their adoring fans ””

    This is a stupid ad hominem argument.

    Does not further the conversation about the actual current role of Trump in our actual political scene and is an insult to those who are trying to hold such a debate.

    Last night I watched the Duran video with Robert Barnes, linked up-thread by Paula.

    Long but worth watching. I wrote a longish comment about it last night but then in my bleary-eyed state (hey, Ye!) hit “logout” instead of “submit comment.” Wish these buttons were further apart.

    Anyhow, Barnes went way into the weeds on a large number of specific races and much more. The “recent” history of election fraud, which I appreciated because I remember most of this. But he provides a lot more “weeds” about all of this. The response of the parties.
    Very worthwhile talk. You can just skip most of Mercouris’s musings on this vid. Around 1:00:00 begins a good section.

    Main takeaway and reason i post this is Barnes’s analysis does support the view of Night Owl.

    Barnes connects Trump’s early announcement to New York going for broke to break both him **and his business.** Per Barnes there is a large segment of the US electorate who will not vote for any Repug besides Trump. And they will not vote for any Dems, either. Listen to him before you just shoot back with childish “idol woship” BBs.

      Looks like I hit a chord.

      Thinking Trump will fix anything is madness. I don’t agree with the Duran guys, you, or Night Owl or JAZ on this.

      I will keep pointing out that Trump launched Operation Warp Speed, still brags about it, oversaw the lockdown and drone-bombed just as many if not more people than Obama and Bush.

      He also threw the J6 under the bus, many of whom are still in prison for attending what was basically a protest march.

      He’s divisive and used to wreck the professional class’s collective brain with TDS. That’s his purpose. To divide us. No one does it better.

      And even writing this is such a waste of my time, if you think that American presidents actually matter, then you don’t get the overall structure of how things work. Which is, puppets are placed on the throne for various reasons. But they don’t have any real power. The selection of said puppet are done by the same globalists who put WEF black-face Turdeau in “charge” of Tranada. Why do you imagine the US is any different?

      And if you’re gonna go back to the “Well, his advisers were bad!” or “He couldn’t help it, they were all against him!” excuse, then you are contradicting yourself that Trump has the ability to be effective.

      I am not seeing any good arguments in favor of Trump.

      Enjoy the next two years campaigning for him if that’s what turns your crank.

      • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 11:57 am #

        I wrote about what Barnes stated about Trump and Trump’s possible reasoning and the feelings of those who do support Trump. They seemed to reinforce Night Owl’s take on the ucrrent situ.

        That doesn’t mean that Night Owl is a Trump supporter!!

        Why is it necessary to explain this???

        “Enjoy the next two years campaigning for him if that’s what turns your crank” is a total non sequitur.

        • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 1:23 pm #

          Sounds good.

        • Night Owl November 20, 2022 at 6:34 pm #

          Although the topic is growing tiresome, I will comment on it again.

          I don’t like Trump’s stance on the shots. They are dangerous, and IMO he was set up.

          That said, he was set up on many issues, as any human would have been, given the level of corruption we are facing.

          The veil has been lifted for many on just how corrupt this system is. I do not think Trump is a part of it, despite what I mentioned above.

          None of us really knows what will happen, but my gut rarely steers me in the wrong direction, and those feelings are bolstered with my observations.

          Time will tell what Trump truly is. A flawed hero of sorts, or one of the greatest psyops ever foisted on the public.

          Food for thought: If he were the latter, they would not even have needed to install Biden.

    Jarek thinks he is a mind reader and knows my “favorite sites”!

    TUR describes itself as “A Collection of Interesting, Important, and Controversial Perspectives Largely Excluded from the Mainstream Media.”

    TUR Overview:
    “Alternative media outlets of the Left and Right have become a crucial supplement to our knowledge of the world, providing those perspectives usually ignored by our mainstream media. This small webzine will aim to provide convenient access to at least a fraction of those voices and topics.”

    httpXX://www.unz.com/masthead/

    So, what is your problem, Jarek?
    Is it that you think you are some kind of content sheepdog, herding people to the proper websites and away from those you deem improper? Even though I suppose you yourself would never read an item at TUR. If you did, then you yourself would be a “white nationalist,” right? That is your logic. What a mental twerp.

    And BTW, what is the relevance of Run Unz’s being Jewish?

      If you call him a “Nazi” he’d reply, “Yes. And your point is?” Or, “Thank you for noticing”.

      Jarek notices everyone’s race. It’s a perverse obsession with him. The “Jesus” he purports to worship is the Aryan one. No doubt.

In the tropical north, boys will take a cat nap while holding some seeds or fruit in their hands. When a bird comes down to take them, they closer their hands and have a snack.

            I’m sure the Abos have 60 IQ’s, which most likely means that the test focuses on a particular intellectual setup compatible to civilization to the exclusion of other setups perhaps more compatible with better systems of human living on Earth, or the test just doesn’t inspire them to even try to test well, or some such thing that doesn’t have a 1:1 relationship to fundamental intelligence and capacity.

      The last sentence is a mind blower. Now you are being argumentative like Mary. You – or at least the smart you – knows that Jews are a coherent group or nation, one at war with Western Civilization. It’s not easy for individual Jews to go against that. And those who choose to stand up with us deserve high praise and appreciation from us.

      We can talk more about this when you are back to normal. As if people can’t know anything about anybody by observing their actions and/or reading their posts. This is favorite idea of Mary too. Many women get into the “You don’t know me!” thing. Black women especially seem to love it.

        The observation that Ron Unz is a Jew made zero sense in the context that you made the observation.

        Within a different context it could be worth noting. Although if you had any familiarity with Unz’s writings I doubt you could be label him tribal.

        Anymore than you can label me tribal because I was born—

        Uh, I think I’ll stop right there!

        • Jarek November 20, 2022 at 1:58 pm #

          Maybe being part of the Tribe isn’t important to him? Ok, but that would make him a very unusual Jew – as you would know if you had been around them. Or are you being coy? Or afraid because of the Watchers, perhaps.

          He is a great Man, providing a venue for important and suppressed voices to be heard. Or do you not believe that Whites have the right to advocate on their own behalf just like every other group.

    Tests negative.

    For all of you, it was not even a bad cold. The worst part was malaise, but that is body’s way of saying slow down let me heal.

    Some folks may need the drugs to help out against severe Covid. We never got to moderate. We treated symptoms, decongestant, DM expectorant and naproxen for fever. That is it. It took me 10 days to test negative and my wife 8 days, she always does better.

    The CDC description of the flu describes perfectly what we encountered, I lost smell for two days, that was weird. Two more days of negative test and off we go. Just in time for thanksgiving.

    I learned a lot. One the fear being sold of Covid is bullshit. The extremely susceptible folks to viruses, flu, cold or Covid should probably get jabbed. You get really bad, long intense colds you should probably take the risk to avoid severe Covid, just as flu shots if you get really sick from the flu. That is all though, no “regular” folks. The risk from Covid is not dangerous enough to offset the clot shot.

    Say it another way, if you fear getting sick and hospitalized by the flu, get the vaxx, it is worth the risk. Otherwise, forget it.

    All of you folks talking about the Covid as a s heme by the Deep State, I am convinced you are right. The effect of Covid IS a hoax. Personally, I thought Covid was a very mild flu, very treatable with good old virus techniques. I have not changed my mind, however, that the scientific way to slow down viruses during virus season is avoidance in all ways possible.

    I have always believed that COVID’s primary spreading mechanism is crowds, especially when the crowding is face to face. We got it entering Mexico through customs, 11/2 days later for first symptoms for me. At least 2000 people standing in serpentine lines, back and forth. No masks, it would not have made any difference as that atmosphere was polluted with all sorts of crud.

    Arizona’s new case load is increasing. Are we heading for another surge? Two weeks will tell.

    My advice, follow CDC guidelines 5 days at home and 10 days masked in Un crowded situations. Test if you can to see if the test says you have it for confirmation, also whether if you have tested positive to tell you you are safe to go public uncovered. Realize it is an unreliable test, that you may have the flu maybe, but let the symptoms talk to you, if mild or moderate symptoms, treat the symptoms. Treat Covid as you have always treated viruses, treat early at initial onset. It really seems to me that serious Covid may be a result of late treatment or ignoring symptoms in susceptible folks.

    Do not ignore viruses. People who choose to deny its existence are eventually going to get it, flu cold or Covid. Proper treatment clobbers the virus quickly. Avoid then treat if needed. Any thing to stop the crud from getting to your lungs. BTW, a pulse oximeter is a good diagnostic tool to watch for moderate to severe transitions whether virus of pneumonia. Protect you lungs.

    This is my reaction to getting the crud. Read it for what you believe it is worth. Our treatment was successful.

    • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 11:37 am #

      Not fifteen days total. 5 days at home plus five days masked. It took us 10 days to drive the test to negative. In both our cases, we both tested positive, me twice then both tested negative. I believe the tests worked.

      • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 11:47 am #

        That is my only and final report on our experience with Covid. Take it for what it is worth. Definitely not the horrible monster the Deep State tried to sell us on two years ago. BTW, it took us almost three years for the crud to finally get us, and a trip to Mexico plus being forced into a crowd situation we had successfully avoided for all this time. Yes, first time and wham.

        One more advice item. Acknowledge surges to plan activities, crowds breed viruses. Travel, especially internationally, during low incidence times. Avoid crowds!!! I do not mean Xmas gatherings like Fauci tried to pull, I mean crowds where your chance of being saturated with airborne viruses or being spat upon is obviously high. That is advice for all forms of micro vectors.

    • SoftStarLight November 20, 2022 at 11:46 am #

      Follow CDC guidelines? Is this a parody or something? John you have completely lost the plot.

      • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 11:50 am #

        No, SSL, it is someone that has experienced the actual duration of Covid.

        Have you?

        Parody, my ass!

        • SoftStarLight November 20, 2022 at 12:15 pm #

          Yes i’ve had covid John. I dealt with it the way I would have a common cold or the flu and I survived. No masks, no special medicine or medical rituals, and definitely no dang clot shot. Again, my biggest shock was when you said follow the CDC guidelines. This is the same CDC that has caused children to get myocarditis because they are forcing the shots on them.

          • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 12:32 pm #

            No, I said to follow CDC guidelines for isolation. Please read!

            I have also stated, OVER and OVER I am against the Vaxx.

            Someday some one will read a complete post.

            And sounds like we dealt with the actual crud in identical fashion, so you should have no problem with how we took care of ourselves.

            In caps, THE RISK OF THE VAXX IS TOO HIGH TO JUSTIFY ITS USE AS A PROPHYLAPTIC THERAPY.

            However, that is my opinion. If people with susceptibility make their own decision, that is their business, not ours..

          • Jarek November 20, 2022 at 1:18 pm #

            Why do you think it was covid? Not trying to zing you here, I’m actually interested. I remember you saying that you weren’t going to get any tests.

          • Islander November 20, 2022 at 1:27 pm #

            JohnAZ:
            “No, I said to follow CDC guidelines for isolation.”

            Since when do we need “CDC guidelines” to “isolate” when we are ill?

            “CDC guidelines” used to be common sense.

            “Isolate” used to be “Stay home when you are ill.”

            “Being ill” used to be having symptoms of illness, or “being under the weather and feeling a bug of some kind coming on.”

            At this point I wouljd make a point of not informing myself about “CDC guidelines” because they would be sure to mix up some dangerous BS such as get a booster or some such in the common sense that I can figure out for myself.

            Who needs the mind-fuck?

          • SoftStarLight November 20, 2022 at 3:08 pm #

            J: At first I was wondering how you could zing me but then quickly realized like oh yeah how could i even know it was covid without testing and all. Well that was when certain food started tasting like perfume, soap, and fabric softener. I had never experienced anything like that and when I looked it up there were tons of posts about people reporting similar changes in taste with covid.

          • SoftStarLight November 20, 2022 at 3:13 pm #

            John you are right that ultimately it is not our business in terms of what other people choose to do re the vax. However, personally I will always bring up the known adverse effects if ever it comes up in conversation. And my tacit hope is that no one takes the vax.

      Covid, if it’s a unique virus, was always mild. The vaccine was always the only danger (and hospitals).

      • gustafson.robert.22 November 20, 2022 at 11:54 am #

          • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 12:11 pm #

            Do all you hidebounds EVER read my entire posts?

            I stated more than once that it was mild, have you had it? It is mild for the vast majority of people, including me.

            But not all! My post states that if people feel they need vaxx help because of susceptibility to viruses, it is their decision and certainly not yours. Are you passing your judgement over everyone here, you sound like the antithesis to Fauci!

            I had the first booster and would not do it now with what I have learned, but I did. I will never do an mRNA shot again and neither will my family.

            The Vaxx is a bad idea for anyone, ever?

            I do not believe you can make that statement anymore than the pro vaxxers can make the statement That it is harmless. It is an individual decision. For me, I would never suggest that a vaxx is a purely prophylactic device, to anyone .

            Vaxxed people are getting sicker than unvaxxed, though.

            So it is contraindicated to take the jab if you are afraid of getting very ill.

            I am not jabbed and my covid lasted 3 days, with mild symptoms.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:57 pm #

            Paula, how do you know you had Covid if the tests have never worked?

            I am wondering why no one can answer this, as most people have recognized that the entire pandemic claim was based upon faulty ‘cases’ a.k.a. tests.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 1:34 pm #

            The PCR tests used in 2020 were rigged to show ”covid”, even if it was the flu or another virus, we know that. They used those tests to drive up the numbers and sow fear, in order to push the GMO injectable.

            They have different tests now, that seem to be more accurate.

            I got sick the same day that my husband, my daughter and my son-in-law got sick. The symptoms were mostly the same.

            My son-in-law tested positive, twice, for covid.

            Am I really supposed to announce that I coincidentally got a dose of 5G that day? Or someone sprayed glyphosate on me? Really?

            Yeah, no.

          • Jarek November 20, 2022 at 1:36 pm #

            More than ever I’m getting the feeling that John has been troubled by terrible colds and/or flu all of this life. It must be terrifying not to be able to breathe so I can sympathize even though I’ve never experienced, except for a bit of wheezing as a kid.

            I got a mild cough a couple of months ago. I hadn’t coughed at all in years.

            Dr McCullough has said that the Vax is a bad idea for everybody.

            So what, are you now going to get boosted?

        • Islander November 20, 2022 at 2:38 pm #

          MQ: “if the tests have never worked?

          “I am wondering why no one can answer this, as most people have recognized that the entire pandemic claim was based upon faulty ‘cases’ a.k.a. tests.”

          Not quite:
          “the entire pandemic claim was based upon faulty ‘cases’ a.k.a. CASES THAT WERE “FOUND” BY MEANS OF FAULTY tests.”

          This doesn’t mean that no one was sick.

          I did answer this weeks or months ago.

          PCR tests were certainly a scam and the wrong methodology for finding SARS-CoV-2 viruses or infections or anything related to illness.

          I think everyone here knows that Kari Mullis, who invented the PCR methodology, said that it should never be used as a diagnostic tool.

          It was Christian Drosten who took the PCR technology and supposedly made up a PCR test for covid. I had to have one such test in order to have an appointment at the hospital. FWIW it was negative!!

          Then there are home tests, called antigen self-tests. That use a different technology. No “cycles” to detect molecules, etc.

          You can google BinaxNOW antigen self-test: to see what info is out there, Youtubes, etc.
          These tests “work” by means of nasal swabbing and “activation” of the swab via some kind of liquid that reacts to the presence of antigens. If you are positive—have antigens—you get a purple stripe. If you are negative—no antigens—you get no stripe.

          I took two of these: One time in order to be able to spend Christmas with my nephew and his family.

          The second time I knew I was sick. It was in July. I still had one of the tests in the house that my nephew had given me, so I said, What the heck! I might as well use the second test.

          This time I immediately got the purple stripe. However, I didn’t report this to anyone; furthermore, I didn’t have the labwork that would have established for sure what bug I had. Again, I knew I was sick so it was just idle curiosity on my part to test myself for covid.

          So, whatever antigens the Binaxtest test looks for, it seem to “work”—it measures something. No purple strip if you are not sick; purple strip if you are sick. Of course, I already KNEW I was sick!!! Duh.

          There is no way for me to know that the antigens I had were for “covid” or for flu or something else. All I know is that I got no stripe when i was not ill and I got a stripe when I was ill.

          One thing is for sure: I was pretty sick, like a bad flu, but not as bad as flu that I had back in 2017. In both cases it was a total hit and took a few weeks to recover and for my energy to return to normal.

          Of course I never considered going to a doc or the hospital. I popped a few ivermectin and some other stuff I had on had, vitamins, etc. Mainly: Lots of sleep.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 5:12 pm #

            SO basically people are frantically testing themselves for the same stuff as we used to know as colds and flu.

            Sounds like progress.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 6:57 pm #

            I have tested multiple people for influenza in the past, and many babies for RSV.

            Not only does the flu swab tell you if you have the flu, it tells you if it is influenza A or B.

            The RSV test sometimes was negative, sometimes positive. The baby was still obviously sick, we just knew it was probably a rhinovirus, not RSV.

            Same with the flu swab. The people were sick. That is why we tested them. But they didn’t necessarily have the flu.

            Actually, multiple people have testified that they were horribly sick in Nov and Dec 2019, went to the doctor and tested negative for flu. They probably had covid before TPTB switched to the PCR test.

            But, no, the flu and RSV swabs don’t test positive just because people are sick.
            I assume that the new covid tests don’t either.

    • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:07 pm #

      I remember the good ol’ days when getting a mild flu wasn’t even something you mention, since it’s such a common occurrance.

      But not JAZ! You had a massive meltdown last week, saying that you BELIEVE IN COVID and that those of us who call it a hoax are crazy.

      Now you’re back to calling it a hoax, because you tested negative, on a test that doesn’t work. And you still think the clotshot is good for people with one foot in the grave, even though you know it maims and kills.

      The warning us how to take care of a cold/flu was the icing on the cake. Because none of us have ever survived either.

      LOL.

      • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 12:23 pm #

        Read please, for once.

        The effect of Covid is a hoax.

        The Covid scheme by the Deep State is reality.

        Yes, I believe in the presence of a Covid virus, which I was uncertain about before. This crud was very different feeling that any other virus I have had. Besides, what difference does it make? Name your virus, contraindications to avoid getting them are the same. Are you actually saying it is a bad thing to take activities to avoid getting sick? Because you do not believe that viruses exist?

        Sorry, I will pass! And your use of the word survival cracked me up.

        Here you areI, the great denier of viral theory, daring nature to infect you with a non existent virus, I refuse to take avoidance steps to avoid the micro world. Get me if you dare!

            I have mentioned multiple times that Mike Yeadon consulted the metadata from multiple countries and observed that the FLU shot has made no difference to death rates from flu in the elderly. It is a scam.

            Now, maybe they are adding stuff you don’t know about to the flu shot as well – it wouldn’t surprise me, especially since most people are refusing further covid shots.

            John O’Looney (the funeral director from Milton Keynes) has said that he is getting elderly people who have died shortly after their flu jab. He said he was in a pharmacy where a care worker, accompanied by a resident in her care, was getting the flu shot for said resident. John politely intervened, told her he was a funeral director and observed that the flu shot was killing elderly people. The carer said ‘I know, but it’s not my decision’.

            Nuff said.

          • Jarek November 20, 2022 at 1:47 pm #

            Since Mary won’t represent her past accurately, I’ll step in. Mary was and/or is on the fence about whether viruses are real – and thus covid. She has expressed this many times. Her willingness to lie to win an argument never ceases to shock me.

            Night Owl thinks covid is a hoax, but he hasn’t opined (to my knowledge) on viruses per se.

            I’m with Mary on this one. Still unsure. And like Night Owl, I think covid is a hoax or at largely a hoax, though I admit they might have developed something and unleashed it in various parts of the world.

            The almost complete absence of the flu last winter convinces me. And the way the hospitals were bribed into diagnosing covid, and not flu, pneumonia, or just a bad cold.

            But I admit I might be wrong. It’s not one or the other in any case. Some people may have gotten the new disease while many or most are just calling the old ones by the new name.

          “a Covid virus”

          The virus is SARS-CoV-2.

          “covid” is part of the psy-op—the name made up and announced in I think March 2020 for the “novel” illness caused by the “novel virus.” It is a portmanteau of “corona virus disease.”

          No, the new tests were home tests.

          Different animal. As I said, they do measure something. You can see it. Supposedly antigens.

          With the PCR tests the public was never able to *see* any results, nor even what was done.Impossible to monitor—sort of a black box, sort of like the midterm ballots . . .

            Now you’re all butthurt that we are calling you out on it.

        • K-Chien November 20, 2022 at 12:56 pm #

          The luck of the draw I’ll guess.

          Whenever a new variant makes the rounds reports will say numbers like 90% of all new infections are variant X (the new one). That tells me that the previous variant is going extinct because unlike the flu which hides in birds the COVID external reservoir is in bats and bats are rare in the sense of interacting with humans rare. We don’t eat them and they are nocturnal.

          It is strange that new variants seem to show up like clockwork. Considering stochastic principles COVID should die out without an external reservoir, meaning other animals to hide in.

          This kind of luck could make us rich in Vegas.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:59 pm #

            I am just amazed that so many on CFN that used to understand the whole thing is a hoax are now regressing and ‘believing’ in it again.

            Oh well.

            This is why we can’t progress.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 1:43 pm #

            Let me quote the Russian MoD on that, K-Chien…

            ”In May 2022, at a conference in Spain, Geoffrey Sachs – a leading expert at the prestigious medical journal The Lancet and a professor at Columbia University, the leading institution for global biosafety science – explained that “…the coronavirus was artificial and, with a high degree of likelihood, aided by American advances was generated in biotechnology … ”
            According to our experts, this is reflected in the variability uncharacteristic of most coronaviruses, resulting in different peaks in incidence, significant differences in lethality and infectivity, uneven geographic spread, and the unpredictability of the epidemic process overall. Despite efforts to contain and isolate cases, the pandemic appears to be being artificially fueled by the exposure of new variants of the virus to this or that region.”

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 1:46 pm #

            I would also point out that although SARS 2 is a bat virus it was modified to be more infectious to humans than bats.

            What are the odds of that happening naturally?

            Anyway, it can no longer be in bats as a “natural reservoir” because it is no longer infectious to bats.

            So yeah, the “new variants” showing up like clockwork, even in the summer when it’s not cold-and-flu season, is not possible as a natural phenonium.

            They all have to be man-made AND spread deliberately.

          • Islander November 20, 2022 at 4:29 pm #

            Paula:

            I don’t understand this:
            “this is reflected in the variability uncharacteristic of most coronaviruses,’

            It is unclear what “variability” means, but if it means subject to rapid mutations, then that is a very well known feature of coronaviruses.

            It is the standard explanation for the difficulty or impossibility of ever creating a vaccine for the common cold, despite decades of attempts to do so.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 7:06 pm #

            I took it to mean the varying symptoms, not the variations in the “mutations”.

            The symptoms the various viruses they have released are all over the place.
            Like you, I had a friend who got covid and all food tasted like gasoline to her. Nasty!

            Coronaviruses are not “known” to rapidly mutate. They are known to be relatively stable for a virus.
            They changed their story when they started releasing their variants, but if you look up information on coronaviruses published before 2020 you will find that they are stable.

            One reason that they can’t make a vaccine for cold viruses is that there are about 80 different viruses endemic to human populations that cause cold symptoms, including corona viruses, RSV, and multiple rhino viruses.
            Also that the times they have tried they got ADE and killed off their subjects, so back then they quit.

            Now, of course, they just keep pushing their jabs no matter how many people they kill.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 7:14 pm #

            Oops, when I answered I didn’t see the actual quote.
            It isn’t just variations in symptoms.

            “….resulting in different peaks in incidence, significant differences in lethality and infectivity, uneven geographic spread, and the unpredictability of the epidemic process overall.”

            So different peaks I take to mean why the hell did some of them spread in the summer? That is not cold and flu season.

            Differences in lethality and infectivity I take to mean the varying symptoms.

            Uneven geographic spread. How the hell does a brand new variant get discovered in South Africa on a Thursday, named on a Friday and then spread all over the US within one week?
            Why are some variants confined to some countries? We all know that respiratory viruses spread from person to person, so how does it happen that the new virus is in the US, Japan and Brazil (I’m making those up, but that is exactly the kind of bullshit they have been feeding us about the various variants).
            And that covers the epidemiology part also.

            It just ain’t natural.

            So the Russian MoD, like me, thinks that they are releasing new bioweapons, not that they are naturally mutating and spreading naturally.

        • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 1:41 pm #

          Covid is still around because they are releasing new versions, which they tell you are “variants” that have “mutated”.

          That is complete bullshit, but they get away with it because Fauci dupes keep insisting that there is no virus at all and get people sidetracked on psy ops irrelevancies.

          This allows the gain-of-function bioweapons research labs to continue to tinker with the viruses unimpeded. And now they have released a more virulent RSV to scare parents into vaccinating their children, which is even more despicable than releasing SARS 2 to kill off the elderly.

          Focus, people, focus!

          Shut down the labs or continue to bicker about whether viruses have ever been isolated while your rulers continue to release more and more of them into the population.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 5:16 pm #

            How are they spreading them?

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 7:16 pm #

            I don’t know.

            The Russian MoD pointed out that Ukraine had ordered drones from Turkey that were modified to be able to spread viruses.

            But I’m sure they have six ways to Sunday to spread them.

            I just don’t know what they are.

        • Islander November 20, 2022 at 2:55 pm #

          And how do you arrive at saying to JohnAZ “You didn’t have covid.”

          WTF?

          How the fuck do you know what JohnAZ had??

          I did test positive for covid, using the home antigen test. So don’t you dare tell ME “You didn’t have covid.”

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 5:17 pm #

            He said he didn’t have covid, that’s how.

    • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:38 pm #

      Look what JAZ posted just a few days ago. Contrast and compare:

      “Well, well.

      All you Covid deniers, it is a hoax, the virus does not exist, etc, etc. are full of crap.

      I reported a “flu” last Thursday in Puerto Vallarta. Well, let me tell you, the very vivid T line on my wife’s and my test yesterday calls me no longer a denier. She got the same symptomology as mine, identical day to day and lags me by two days. By definition, we have mild and mild to moderate Covid (fever). I am currently almost symptom free and she is coughing a lot. We are both monitoring O2sat.

      I caught the crud, the non-existent crud, during customs. We both knew that we were taking a risk leaving our “neighborhood” and going international. When we walked into that concourse and saw the serpentine mess their customs were, well, the rest is history. Mass concentration of people, thus virus, causes problems.

      I am still an anti vaxxer due to all the real reasons. I am and will never be a Covid denier. I am now a Covid survivor. Did my early shots give an easier time? No one really knows. I am grateful we both made it back here without complications. And yes, we isolated ourselves during the ruined last half of our trip, wore a mask whenever we had to leave our room, stayed away from anybody, and maintained six feet from everyone except on the plane where we were masked. Do not bother with your critiques, they no longer make any difference to either of us. Covid is real and recurring.”

      • JohnAZ November 20, 2022 at 12:58 pm #

        Nothing wrong with this report at all, Mary, thanks for re posting it.

        I will restate the initial statement however.

        All you Covid deniers,

        It’s existence is a hoax

        The virus does not exist

        All statements made many times on this blog.

        Denial statements.

        My real feeling is that the effect of Covid, how it has been used by the PTB, how it is a method of control by the Mob, is a fact.

        I am no longer a denier of the existence of Covid, but a total denouncer of how it has been used by the Leftist Deep State, even their successful convincing of Trump. While you watch the statements near term by Pence, I think you might see the entire Covid startup, by Pence a little differently. He was definitely not a good soldier.

    FWIW I got the Omicron variant BA-5 back during the first week of August. I did not get tested because they’re worthless. I knew it was the BA-5 based on the symptoms. And I have never, ever had a virus in the middle of summer. It was the only “game in town”.

    For me it truly did suck. I got the worst headache I have ever had that lasted about 36ish hours. Then the sore throat set it. But, the sore throat wasn’t really that bad. I’ve had much worse. Other than that I just felt like shit for about three full days. Took a few more to feel better.

    But the headache for me is what made it bad. Never came close to feeling like I needed medical treatment though. Besides, its the treatments that kill!

    So many that I know who are triple vaxxed also got the BA-5 around the same time, and suffered just as much as I did. Some suffered even more.

      Yup, sounds just the same.

      Would you get a vaxx to avoid it in the future, not me.

      Even if it worked!

      I always get post nasal drip and a cough with any virus, but this was not that bad.

      Well, Mary, sounds like some one else may have contracted the non existent “virus”.

      • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

        Yeah, he believes he did.

        LOL.

        Another person got a cold.

        Ho, hum.

        Again, your trope that I don’t believe in viruses isn’t going to hold water. I have proof of what you’ve said, whereas you’re just building strawmen or outright lying about what I have.

        Not a good look on you, JAZ.

    • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

      LMAO.

      Wow. People really have gone off the deep end.

      • Mick November 20, 2022 at 1:01 pm #

        Yep. I’m off the deep end. I believe that COVID is a real virus created in a lab. It is a weaponized virus. And I’m sure more will be coming this decade. We’re in a bioweapon world war I think. Unfortunately.

        Do I believe that COVID killed in the neighborhood of a million people in the US alone? Not only no, but hell no. The hospitals and doctors did most of the killing. And they were efficient. (Assholes)

        The over-response to COVID was ridiculous. It should’ve been allowed to burn its way through. Yes some elderly would’ve died. Elderly die of flu and other viruses every year. I doubt the numbers would’ve been that bad.

        But, this was a plandemic after all. An over-reaction to a weird, weaponized virus that isn’t in reality that deadly. It was a giant psyop and practice for the Reset regime’s plans.

        • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 1:08 pm #

          It’s incredible how the mainstream media managed to get everyone thinking every cough and sniffle is covid.

          • Mick November 20, 2022 at 1:12 pm #

            What I had was much worse than a “cough and a sniffle”. In fact, I had neither of those symptoms.

            Go reread what I said….Worst headache of my life for 36 hours. And then a sore throat. I didn’t mention high fever, but I had that too.

            This was not a cold. It was a weaponized virus given to me by the Gates-Fauci crime syndicate. Working for the CIA and other dark forces.

          • gustafson.robert.22 November 20, 2022 at 1:17 pm #

            I’ve been sick twice since 2020. Didn’t take any tests. Wouldn’t trust a positive one if I had had one. Don’t care what I had. Won’t worry about any “pandemics” till gigantic numbers of people die undeniably from some certain identifiable disease. Still almost certainly won’t touch any offered treatments in that situation.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 1:29 pm #

            And that could not have been caused by anything other than a bizarrely named “variant” that the same people who created the hoax coined.

            OK.

          • Night Owl November 20, 2022 at 1:36 pm #

            You can believe whatever you want, Mick.

            Until they present an isolate (not an in-silico mock-up from the Chinese) and show the public that there is an actual test that can detect it, then it is a hoax.

            These are the two most basic criteria one could ask for. Yet they cannot provide them. As far as I know, this is the first time in modern medical history where they cannot provide such evidence.

          • Mick November 20, 2022 at 1:47 pm #

            NO I said that I didn’t get the test because they’re ridiculous. (Or a similar adjective). I also said that I do not believe that a million or so people in the US died of COVID. I said that the medical “treatments” killed them.

            I do believe that COVID is a weaponized virus and that this was a planned-demic.

            I did err by assuming what I got was the BA-5 variant. I was going by the common symptoms over the summer. I noted that everyone I know who is triple vaxxed got it, and then I expressed my view that ‘shedding’ from vaxxed people is a real thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how I got sick. I donated blood in a place full of triple vaxxed staff and other donors. Two days later I was sick.

            That’s all. I’m now done with Trump postings and COVID postings.

            I’ll just add this….I think Dreizin is right that there’s a much worse round of pan, or plan-demic on the way. I believe that it will be vaxx induced. Especially with this new bi-valent booster the assholes have created.

        • Mick November 20, 2022 at 1:10 pm #

          ETA: I truly don’t know for sure that it was the BA-5 variant that I got. I could’ve become sick being in the close proximity of people who are triple vaxxed. I do believe that the people who are highly vaxxed shed that crap and it makes people close to them sick.

          Two days before I got sick I donated blood. Of course all those people are vaxxed out the ying yang. The one who stuck the needle in my arm was over course triple vaxxed, if not more. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how I got sick.

          Like I said, everyone I knew who are triple vaxxed got the same thing I did.

          This new “XBB” variant is probably vaxx induced. And now this new “Bi-valent” fourth booster will probably lead to the next variant.

          Your variant may vary. (YVMV)

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 1:30 pm #

    Mick:
    “Tom Luongo is not always correct. It’s a shocker, I know.”

    Oh oh oh, Mr Snarky!!
    Such a clever putdown!!

    MQ:
    “Agree, and he’s too wrapped up in his biases.”

    As I have written at this blog, I often find Luongo hard to follow. And of course he has his biases.

    Since he is a financial analyst who focuses lot of attention on international finance and its political implication,

    and who has spoken very specifically about what I termed “the clash of the titans,” a struggle that Luongo posits between Old World banking interests (aka Davos) and US commercial banking interests when it comes to the Globalists’ agenda—or, *whose” globalist agenda—

    ergo, that is PRECISELY why it would be interesting to hear what Luongo has to say about recent developments.

    Spelling it out for Mick and MQ.

    Oh, BTW, Luongo has done podcasts with JHK, so that latter must think the former has some value. Even though JHK seems, like me, to find that Luongo is often hard to follow and his ideas are “confusing,” or confusingly presented.

    • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 12:40 pm #

      • Islander November 20, 2022 at 1:04 pm #

        Hi, Mick:

        What you wrote implied that I think that Luongo is right all the time.

        I don’t know where you got that idea, or why you felt it necessary to point it out at all.

        In fact, I often get the impression that some commenters here (and elsewhere—the pile-on on Scott Ritter earlier this year) do expect analysts and others to be right all the time and are looking not for views and information but for a meister whom they can count on to be right all the time and never let them down.

        If the analyst turns out to be wrong, or triggers some other sensitive nerve, or disappoints in some way it’s defenestration time.

        Partly I think this stems from a desire to get out ahead of ever being “fooled.”

        That is not my attitude.

        • Mick November 20, 2022 at 1:14 pm #

    • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 1:05 pm #

      You should have seen the TRAs fondling their own moobs while calling women dykes, fascists, and threatening to beat them up/kill them for daring to speak out against child mutilation this past Monday in NYC. One of them masturbated in front of a cop, while a woman asked why he wasn’t being arrested. In their defense, the cops did end up arresting 7 or so.

      I’m sure the transfolx are seeing it as a huge victory.

      When some of us here pointed out what happens when a marginalized group gets more privileges and power than everyone else, we were told we were overreacting.

      Well, as I type, laws are being changed to give them all the leeway they want to beat up on cops, women, and maim children, because as usual, it was left up to women to take care of the problem. Now it’s everyone’s problem.

      • K-Chien November 20, 2022 at 1:17 pm #

        “it was left up to women to take care of the problem”

        Fag hags sort of helped create this problem. Just sayin.

        • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 1:32 pm #

          Yes, fag hags have so much power, to get big pharma, and the healthcare industry to back an agenda.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 2:23 pm #

            Yeah, fag hags can influence big pharma, the medical-industrial complex, the government, the media, the schools and universities, the libraries, the military, the police, courts and prisons, the corporations, social media and NGOs to cater to straight men with a fetish.

            Fag hags can get schools to take away girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms and sports, can get corporations to demand forced pronouns, can get midwives and OBs to call women “pregnant people”, can get women kicked off Twitter for calling a man a man, can get the police to protect men in dresses attacking actual women.

            Yeah, it’s all just a grass roots movement, caused by fag hags.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 2:53 pm #

            Yep. First rule of misogyny, also:

          • Islander November 20, 2022 at 3:37 pm #

            I thought fag hags were just women—usually older women— who like to hang out with and be friends with homosexuals.

            They have been around for a long time.

            Per Merriam-Webster:

            “a woman who enjoys the company of male homosexuals

            First Known Use: 1969”

        I saw that – he couldn’t leave them alone. Not just ‘fondling’ but whacking them up and down like a demented clown. Autogynephiles ‘R’ Us.

        • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 2:52 pm #

          It makes me so happy when someone knows what an autogynophile is.

          So ironic, the men (who believe they are women) shouting violent threats at actual women all the while believing themselves to be ‘woman-like.’ All one can do is shake ones’ head.

    • K-Chien November 20, 2022 at 1:15 pm #

      You have weirdos taking care of each other.

      So a concerned mother gets wind of ‘antiracist’ meetings and investigates their is a group of wokesters advising on curriculum decisions. On the public dime with no accountability.

      Public money to push a private agenda. The school district sort of awarded a ‘no bid’ contract.

      So who was behind the hiring. That should be the question.

        Mary and GA

        When in AIDS clinical in RN school, I got to interview a young man dying of many diseases caused by a failing immune system, ie AIDS. He was a Homosexual.

        One thing he told me that has stuck with me. He said that the Homo partnership has the aggression of the male animal on both sides. The result is the bathhouse syndrome of San Francisco.

        Sounds like your discussion on Trans and their mobs, I assume Male to female, may carry the same male aggressiveness and overt ness with it.

        You two as females understand the overt ness of males, a gift from Mother Nature.

        However the presence of such where it is unnatural is anxiety building. The separation of the sexes with BRs, and more and folkways separation is basic for society to function.

        The LBGTQ society is a threat to this, totally.

        My two problems are one, the desire to spread their perversion to normalcy, to provide more “meat” and especially number two, to provide future “meat” by perverting children.

        How the hell did this trans BS ever reach the lengths it has and how has it made so many perverted parents allowing them access to children?

        • GreenAlba November 20, 2022 at 2:01 pm #

          In answer to your last para, money from the globlist, transhumanist agenda.

          Note this stuff has nothing to do with the normal percentage of ‘ordinary’ gays, who have been with us as long as there has been an ‘us’. These people are the enemies of gays and lesbians, as the latter groups are finding out increasingly.

          • Jarek November 20, 2022 at 2:31 pm #

            Ordinary gays form cliques and attempt to take over institutions and of course if the succeed, become even more of a threat to young men as John avers.

            Nice try, Alba. But you’re wrong. Your nephew might be innocent of course, but as a group they bear much watching.

          • GreenAlba November 20, 2022 at 3:19 pm #

            Don’t assume everyone is as devious as you. I wasn’t ‘trying’ anything. Nothing to do with my nephew either. I knew multiple gay men from work. Most were in stable relationships, mostly married in the end. They weren’t into the ‘scene’ and their conversation wasn’t about their gay status.

            The LGBs have broken off from LGBTQUERTY people as they are sick of being attacked, just as women are.

            Gay men and lesbians have the right to exist without persecution, whether you like it or not. Heterosexual men – and groups within those heterosexual men – have ‘taken over institutions’ since there were institutions. Maybe you don’t like sharing.

          • benr November 20, 2022 at 3:45 pm #

            @jarek

            Being queer does not mean you’re any less or more dangerous but they do seem to have a higher incidence of weird kink.
            Or they are just more open to it being aired I don’t know.

            I have as of yet never heard of a straight person male or female tying themselves to a stump somewhere and letting anyone and everyone have a shot at them.

          • Islander November 20, 2022 at 3:49 pm #

            GA:

            Good points.

            It is possible that many people only became aware of Lesbians and homosexuals around them fairly recently and fairly late in their own lives.

            Many communities had a few “swishes” and dykes and people knew who they were. One of our local couples opened a lovelhy litlte shop, called the Flea Market, that was really the first boutique here.

            There was a whole cohort of elderly lesbians in the little theatre group. One was a retired voice coach—she had had a serious career in the professional theater. Etc.

            It wasn’t all meat-market bath house scene at all.

            Of course out there in middle America there was(and is) plenty of homophobia.

            The “overcorrection” we have now is total overkill, is all I can say, and there will probably be a backlash, which will not help “normal” lesbians and homosexuals at all.

            The trans-people do not want to live and let ANYONE live.

          • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 7:24 pm #

            I live smack in the middle of flyover country.

            One of my young co-workers announced on facebook that he had broken up with his boyfriend and he got a lot of commiseration and condolences. Probably a hundred people in the middle of America, offering sympathy to him.

            He got one reaction from a man with the same name, I assume his father, who told him that it was good that he broke up with his boyfriend because now he could find himself a girlfriend.

            Not clear on the concept, for sure.

          • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 11:09 pm #

            Lots of people don’t realize that so-called “trans” is not a sexual orientation, it’s a belief and/or delusion.

            Lesbians and gays have a sexual orientation.

            The LGB community is figuring this out, and how they were used by the fetishists and pervs in the trans community, and are trying to resolve it. It’s gonna be ugly for awhile though.

        • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 2:18 pm #

          I lived in San Francisco from 79 to 81. I went to Castro Street just about every day because that was where I changed trolleys to go to work.

          They were pushing the hepatitis ”vaccine” like you wouldn’t believe.
          No internet back then, but it was on every bus and every bus stop, as well as billboards and radio ads.

          They focused on gay men, because they were more likely to get hepatitis, or that’s what they said anyway.

          And then came AIDS.

          I have a friend who believes in standard medicine, and she was an early adopter of the hepatitis vaccine. Then she tested positive for AIDS twice. She got called into the administrator’s office and given the bad news. She went a couple of weeks thinking she was going to die, but then they did a different test and told her that she didn’t have it. They said that the hep vaccine sometimes caused a false positive.

          A false positive, huh? Or maybe the vaccine had to combine with the poppers used by gay men to activate into AIDS?

          I don’t know, but I am extremely suspicious of the whole AIDS thing.

          • Islander November 20, 2022 at 3:51 pm #

            As a patriotic, All-American kid back in ’76, listening to TV news stories about “Swine Flu” and “Legionaries Disease” set off my lie detector.

            When “AIDS” came along, I instinctively viewed it through a critical lens. Too perfect. Popping up in SF, NY, and… somewhere else(?) – populous and diverse places, but the disease was very specific in its targeting. Didn’t seem… natural.

            SARS. MERS, Zika – it has long been obvious our (U$) government was pushing something.

      Pretty sure no one who comments here think there is no such thing as viruses. I was open to learning about terrain theory and a lot of it makes sense (such as people having gotten very sick from their environment and it was blamed on viruses, etc., as in the case of AIDS).

      This is an interesting read. I am still wondering where the CDC claims they have isolated it. Wasn’t that the initial problem? And wasn’t the problem that all they had was a computer facsimile?

      Happy to see he calls out the faulty PCR test in the article.

      I am still wondering how anyone can claim that the same coronavirus that occurred in 2020 that was not very deadly is still here 2.5 years later. If it is because it was weaponized, I’d want to see proof of that from someone in the scientific community.

      • Paula D November 20, 2022 at 7:32 pm #

        Labs have isolated it all over the world and they have mapped each genome. And they have isolated the pieces in the genome that prove that it was genetically modified.

        No one claims that this current virus is the same one that started in 2020 (actually 2019).
        Everyone claims that the current strain is different. It’s just that the US authorities claim that it is naturally mutating and other, more reputable people, claim that it is not natural.

        “Someone in the scientific community”. Are the scientists studying the variants and reporting to the Russian MoD not good enough for you?

        • MaryQueen November 20, 2022 at 11:05 pm #

    GOP AGs moving forward with lawsuit targeting FBI, top Biden officials for allegedly colluding with Big Tech

    Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt was awarded a major gain in his lawsuit between a coalition of GOP attorneys general against the FBI and top Biden officials.

    A motion requesting depositions was granted, giving a green light to proceed with depositions of top Biden administration officials regarding alleged collusion with Big Tech over free speech.

    The lawsuit, STATE OF MISSOURI ET AL VERSUS JOSEPH R BIDEN JR ET AL, was filed May 5, 2022. On Oct. 21, 2022, the motion was granted for depositions of top Biden officials under oath.

    Schmitt, a U.S. senator-elect, shared details of the lawsuit on Saturday’s “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino,” which includes several Biden officials being targeted.

    According to Schmitt, the lawsuit alleges that the Biden administration coordinated and colluded with social media companies to censor speech, essentially outsourcing something to Big Tech that they can’t do themselves.

      Have you stuck your hand or possibly your head up a bulls ass looking for a steak yet?

      To be honest they never had the smoking gun with Trump on anything and that is with his penchant for bragging but the same fatal flaw also exists with Joe Biden and there are MANY smoking guns.

      Hunter Bidens laptop is huge and the EFF BEE EYE sat on that for two years while the media buried the story.
      The media buried everything while slinging anything no matter how outlandish.
      How that narrative has changed from Russian disinformation to well it’s not proof of anything.
      How long before that changes to well yeah, he did it but it was not with ill intent much like Hillary Clintons illegal server hosting many sap, secret, top secret and confidential documents. It was ignored and swept under the rug.

      Meanwhile Trump they have slung anything and everything at him and about him for seven years and NOTHING he is the MOST investigated person in US history as well as one of the most talked about in a negative manner ever.

      They might toss Biden over the side like they did with San Diego mayor Bob Filner who had a nickname filthy filner once he was of no use they #metoo’d the guy.

      It is infuriating but TC may be right on this one.

      The Mob owns the Justice system. Trying to get Justice with folks that are part of all the forms of the Mob is damn near impossible, they know the tricks, they know the people, they own the people.

      The days of the local Mob owning Casey the neighborhood cop who overlooked prostitution, bookies and eventually drugs is over. The today Mob owns DAs, city governments, state governments and yes the federal government now. Think Soros’ choices for elections.

      I would like to see a discussion about the various Mobs, including Biden’s, around the world and how it all fits together. Does the title Godfather still exist? The top dog used to be Capo de Tutti Capo, I believe, he ran the city or district and capos reported to him.

      Well, the Mob no longer exists, right? Uh huh? Or maybe everything that they did that was illegal is now legal and is being used for PTB enrichment? Hmmm? Could it be that the Mob has grown into the PTB?

    This really reeks of weaponizing the DOJ to shut up a political opponent.

    Biden Administration Appoints Special Counsel for Trump Probe

    President Joe Biden’s administration on Nov. 18 announced it is appointing a special counsel for a probe involving former President Donald Trump, who just launched a 2024 presidential bid.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland, a Biden appointee who heads the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), announced the appointment in Washington.

    “Based on recent developments, including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the sitting president’s stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said.

    Trump this week said he was running for president, seeking to win a second term in office.

    Garland appointed Jack Smith, who currently prosecutes war crimes at The Hague, as special counsel.

    Smith will take over the investigation related to Trump’s handling of presidential records and documents with classified markings. Trump is under investigation for possible violations of several laws, including the Espionage Act, U.S. authorities have said in court filings, in relation to the classified records and documents. Smith will also examine whether there was obstruction of that investigation.

    Mar-a-Lago Raid
    FBI agents raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida in August and seized thousands of records, including around 100 marked classified.

    Trump has said he declassified the records and has fought to get the documents back. He has been unsuccessful so far, though he did convince authorities to return passports of his they had seized.

    The special counsel will also take over a Washington-based investigation looking into whether any person or entity interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the electoral votes on or around Jan. 6, 2021, but will not take over portions of that investigation that deal with people who were physically present on Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, according to Garland.

    “I intend to conduct the assigned investigations, and any prosecutions that may result from them, independently and in the best traditions of the Department of Justice,” Smith said in a statement released by the DOJ. “The pace of the investigations will not pause or flag under my watch. I will exercise independent judgement and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate.”

    The White House and an attorney for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Trump later said he would not partake in the probe.

    The appointment of a special counsel underscores the Department of Justice’s commitment to independence and accountability, Garland said. It also enables prosecutors and agents “to continue their work expeditiously and to make decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law,” he added.

    Garland vowed to make sure Smith has the resources he needs and said he’s confident appointing a special counsel will not slow down the completion of the investigations.

    ‘Top to Bottom Overhaul’
    During Trump’s 2024 announcement, the former president said that “the gravest threats to our civilization are not from abroad, but from within.”

    “None is greater than the weaponization of the justice system, the FBI, and the DOJ. We must conduct a top to bottom overhaul to clean out the festering rot and corruption of Washington D.C.,” he said, highlighting how authorities raided his home but not the homes of other living former presidents who have acknowledged taking presidential records with them.

    Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a longtime Trump critic and a lawyer, was among those saying Trump running for president again would not protect him against prosecution.

    “Under our Constitution, we don’t have an office of former president of the United States. A former president of the United States is just a citizen, acts of the case and the law,” Raskin said on CNN.

    “He can still be tried. I think the Department of Justice has been clear about that. All that matters is the facts of the case and the law. There is a slight exception to that that they don’t bring cases against candidates several weeks or maybe a month before an election,” he added later. “But other than that, running for office is not something that will immunize you against prosecution.”

      Trump hit it on the head when he said the worst enemy is the government itself. The Deep State has created in itself a world power in competition, think mobs, with the world. Trump recognized this, tried to oppose it and could not.

      The worst enemy of the Deep State is the American people. Trump harnessed it in 2016 with his populist movement. By 2020, actually 2018, the DS had the tools in place to overcome any populist revolt. 2022 shows how powerful that Deep State has become, people do not even question election results any more, or even question their tabulation. Stalin has won with his quote.

      So, what can the population do to get back electoral power to control the government?

      Nothing! It is lost. 2022 is proof positive.

      Secession is the only tool left to segments of the country that want out of the Mob. If that is possible?

      BTW, Reagan also recognized this. He said the government was not the answer to problems, because it was the problem. How right he was!

        In the fall of 2002 I and a few others I know said, “They won’t find any WMDs in Iraq, and the whole thing will fizzle out.”

        They didn’t find any WMDs in Iraq, because there weren’t any.

        But that didn’t matter. The agenda was already written.

        Silly me!

        • benr November 20, 2022 at 5:57 pm #

          @islander

          That is false they in fact found WMD.
          They also secured as well as lost tons of high explosive material Semtex, HMX and RDX.
          There was also degraded but still lethal forms of nerve agent and blister agents found.
          Hundreds of tons of yellow cake shipped off to Canada not refined to weapons grade, but the technology was available even then.
          There were also hundreds of tons of blister agent precursors secured.
          They even found some advanced bio labs but the only thing they publicly acknowledged was an upgraded version of norovirus.
          The norovirus discovery has been scrubbed but I distinctly remember it being discussed by the media.

          Why did the Bush Administration not crow about it?
          Even worse why the double speak of none was found oh but we did find some. You can still see the document on the CIA website with the double speak still intact.
          There was more stuff to be found and they did NOT want Iraqi and Iranian terror cells to look and find them.

          • Islander November 20, 2022 at 7:44 pm #

            Documentation please.

            I cannot recall all the details now of the events of that year, but it was very clear that no WMD were found.

            I expect that precursor chemicals of other materials are not actually WMD. What is/was allowed and what not allowed is/was quite specific.

            Bush got a bit laff at the Washington Press Club crawling under a desk looking for those gol’ darned WMD!!

            So, not inclined to think that your statement has any merit unless you provide documentary evidence.

        Speaking of the insane leftist losing, As of this morning, Elon has FIRED, FIRED 4 More so called, top engineers. That worked for TWATTER anywhere is from 7 to 11 years.

        It doesn’t pay to run your mouth in a derogatory manner, And, call your boss all kinds of names on the same company board that he owns. called Twitter L O L LOL ?

        And now 2 of these engineers are crying about free speech!! In other words, they don’t have free speech but other people do? Elon told them yes. You do.

        “Yes you have free speech. Of course. And there is times in life one has to be held accountable for things they say. Like talking the way you did about me on Twitter is no different than physically walking here into the offices and calling me the same names which would get you fired. And then arguing with me. Besides the childish name calling.

        I own the company. I’m your boss. I can do what I want. And after checking the history on all 4 of you, this is the first job any of you have ever had. You came here right out of college. All of you now will find out what the real world is all about.”

            What I can’t understand is why these people–apparently hundreds of them–got those jobs in the first place. About half of the people employed by Twitter appear to have been dead weight. Why hire hundreds of them? Why not let them go as soon as you figure out that they are unproductive?

            There’s a discussion about this on tickerforum, where several people weigh in on how much of this type of thing they’ve seen in the corporate world, but none of them offered a convincing reason for it.

    • SoftStarLight November 20, 2022 at 5:46 pm #

      I’m glad too tom. I just hope he will start tweeting again but he does have truth social now so it will be interesting to see what happens. There is an awful picture circulating out there of Ron DeSantis wearing a mask that i noticed for whatever reason today and I was just like wow omg. It looked really like the DuhSantis you would go on about. So its all really a tough space right now.

      “Redneck, none of yours are sick or dying?

      Correct. None of my family, which includes 3 anti-vaxers (who agree with GA about Jacindarella); none of my colleagues, nor any friends – including one who has been through treatment for myeloma which involved a total nuking of his immune system prior to a stem cell transplant. After 5 weeks, his consultant oncologist decided to start him on his re-vaccination plan (all the usuals such as MMR, tetanus etc) but the first one given was Covid. Two weeks later, he finally (after spending the whole 2 years avoiding it due to being immuno-compromised) caught it – at a beer festival, where else… He recovered normally and is back in ‘fine shape’ (relative to his disease which is remitted at present). However, I was pretty sure if the ‘vaxx’ were to be the bioweapon the loopies around here claim it to be, it would have taken him out by now. Go figure.

            Oh, I know a good many things, which is part of why you are triggered by my posts.

            There are several base-level questions you should have asked yourself before injecting the substance called a vaccine into your arm.

            Why would you take a product of this nature that did not conform to the standard 7-8 year process of safety testing?

            Why would you take an experimental and controversial “MRNA”-based product rolled out over the course of a few months?

            Why would you inject anything in your arm being pushed on as many people as possible via coercion and threats (job loss; participation in society; and in Europe starvation) and politicians stuffing hotdogs in their faces while mumbling “mmmpfh, vaccination”?

            You are not intelligent enough to discuss these things with me. It is simply a fact.

            Consider your logic: You took an experiemental substance with no real safety testing. A product released with almost no checks on safety, no real testing of note — something unprecedented in medical history.

            You are certain you will be just fine, because nothing particularly noticeable has happened to you yet.

            Yet terrible things have happened to many, many others who took what you took, and over both short and more extended timelines.

I cannot see what he ‘sees’, even as far as naming things ‘nanobots’ and making definitive statements about how this is all ‘controlled’ etc, but he, in reality, has no explanation of what he’s seeing – which is all I said the first time I responded to this weirdo propaganda video.

            Just answer the question about excess mortality. And 12-year-olds having heart attacks.

            What can cause a heart attack at 12?

            Key risk factors of having a heart attack at a young age include:
            > Substance abuse or excessive alcohol use.
            > Smoking.
            > High blood pressure.
            > High cholesterol levels.
            > Lack of physical activity.
            > Diabetes.
            > Poor diet.

            Given the prevalence of many of these factors in Western civilisation, you may just as equally blame McDonald’s.

          • GreenAlba November 20, 2022 at 7:35 pm #

            I didn’t ask for all the things that can cause a heart attack, I asked why hundreds of teenagers are having heart attacks NOW, when they didn’t before.

            Stop being so fucking stupid.

            And tell us why excess mortality is through the roof since the clot shots. The doctor in the trailer for ‘Died Suddenly’ (out tomorrow, don’t miss it) said the numbers are a one in 800 years event.

            Just picking one at random – Denis Rancourt, who seems to have been in trouble since 2005, and has also landed on the Climate Change Denial Club’s list. No mention of his ‘vaxx’ position. Maybe a recent convert?

            en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Rancourt

          • Redneck Liberal November 20, 2022 at 8:14 pm #

            Another one, at random:

            Sucharit Bhakdi:

            Political activism, antisemitism

            In 2021, Bhakdi was a founder of the new German political party dieBasis, which emerged out of the “Querdenken” political movement, standing as a candidate in the 2021 German federal election in North Rhine-Westphalia.[49][50][51] In April 2021, the antisemitism commissioner for the state of Baden-Württemberg identified the Querdenken movement as providing space for antisemitic conspiracy theories, noting that Bhakdi singled out the German-Jewish minister of education in Schleswig-Holstein, Karin Prien, as “poisoning our children with CO2”.[52]

          • Redneck Liberal November 20, 2022 at 8:21 pm #

            And Bret Weinstein – reads like my sort of bloke, but then fell into the ivermectin grift and had to flee to your favoured nut-job website, odysee.com.

            “Weinstein describes himself as politically liberal, progressive,[43][44] and left-libertarian.[45] He appeared before the U.S. House Oversight Committee on May 22, 2018, to discuss freedom of speech on college campuses.[46][47] In 2020, he announced Unity 2020, a plan to nominate for the upcoming US presidential elections a pair of suitable candidates, each associated with one of both major political parties, to govern as a team.[48][49]

            Weinstein has lived in Portland, Oregon since 2018.[36]

            Pity he lives in a ‘shit hole state & city’.

            You’re not being rude, and I don’t care what you say to him.
            I was just playing.
            He is after all nothing but a troll and even you are calling him out for dishonesty.

            I remember when Rednut Liberal got all shitty about Alex Jones saying he thought Sandy Hook might have been a false flag with character actors.
            He however is now denying that children are dying from vaccine related problems which I believe is far worse than asking the question Alex did. He is literally providing cover for what might turn out to be an attempt at genocide.

            You think respect from you would be a compliment? Jeez, the insight.

            Sucharit Bhakdi is being targeted because he’s been speaking out about the carnage from the quacksines. The ‘antisemitism’ consists in having compared this carnage to the Holocaust.

            Denis Rancourt is the Canadian who has been monitoring deaths across the US, right down to county level. He established that patterns of death or lack thereof stopped strictly at state lines, ergo nothing to do with a pandemic, but everything to do with the response to the pandemic.

            Sucharit Bhakdi lives in Germany. He is the most cited microbiologist in the world. In addtion to speaking repeatedly about the people who have died from the quacksines, he has demonstrated how the quacksines don’t just not work, but could never work.
            Living in Germany puts him in great danger. In Germany, comparing something to the Holocaust is taken extremely seriously. This gentle, humanitarian Buddhist could end up in jail for 17 years because of these bastards, while the carnage caused by the quacksines – and still to be caused in future – is way beyond the scale of the Holocaust.

    As of last night, MID-NIGHT, Elon Musk has FIRED, FIRED 4 More so called, top engineers. That worked for TWITTER. Anywhere, from 7 to 11 years.

    It doesn’t pay to run your mouth in a derogatory manner, And, call your boss all kinds of names on the same company board that he owns. called Twitter L O L LOL ?

    And now 2 of these engineers are crying about free speech!! In other words, they don’t have free speech but other people do? Elon told them yes. You do.

    “Yes you have free speech. Of course. And there is times in life one has to be held accountable for things they say. Like talking the way you did about me on Twitter is no different than physically walking here into the offices and calling me the same names which would get you fired. And then arguing with me. Besides the childish name calling.

    I own the company. I’m your boss. I can do what I want. And after checking the history on all 4 of you, this is the first job any of you have ever had. You came here right out of college. All of you now will find out what the real world is all about.”

    Okay. All good. You’ve often threatened to stop ‘wasting your time’ with me. So, go and do that. See ya.

    Translation: leave me alone so I can post lies and bullshit to my hearts content.
    Or I RL have a strange compulsion to eat dirty socks and cough up hairballs and shit all over clusterfuck nations blogs.
