Is there a game on?  Consider: What you’re seeing may not be what you think you’re seeing. If an “orderly transition to the next administration” meant what you think it means, Nancy Pelosi would not be shrieking for an insta-super-quickie impeachment. By the way, what would that look like as a procedural matter? Think: Chinese fire drill.

The New York Times’s panties are on fire, declaring a national emergency. Headline this morning: Democrats Demand Trump’s Removal. Funny… they didn’t feel this exercised when Antifa attacked congressmen and senators on the streets of Washington last summer, leaving the president’s acceptance speech at the White House. Twitter and Facebook are busy throwing overboard anybody who dares to challenge the narrative they’ve helped to craft. Something’s up now and it’s making them even more hysterical than usual.

 Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called for Vice President Mike Pence to immediately initiate the removal of President Donald Trump, declaring him a seditious threat to the country who can’t be trusted to finish even the last two weeks of his term.  —Politico

Consider also: you and I are in that fabled fog of war, and that fog is going to hang around in the days ahead. You may see strange shapes moving around in that fog, and that’s about it. Eventually, the fog will lift and the battlefield will not look the same as it did a week ago. So, it’s hard to see right now, but I hear a lot and I’ll just report what I hear for what it’s worth. I can’t prove any of this is true right now. A lot of it may seem crazy, fantastical.  What with the pitch of news media mind-fuckery we’ve been living under, there have probably never been stranger days in our America.

The game is a deadly one because there is so much at stake: careers, reputations, fortunes, lives, the climax of four years of seditious Gotcha. The “Resistance” threw everything it could at the Golden Golem of Greatness. It discommoded him in his duties, and wasted the nation’s precious time in a gathering crisis of civilization, but nothing stuck to him: RussiaGate, impeachment, not even Covid-19. The November 3rd election was the final play. Ever find, in a game of chess, that you’ve unwittingly blundered into checkmate?

Who, exactly, invaded the Capitol building on Wednesday when that mass of Trump supporters swarmed up the hallowed hill? Some Antifas and BLMs were on the scene for sure, probably in the vanguard, probably the ones smashing the windows to break in. But somebody else went in there, too, and rounded up a whole bunch of congressional laptops, including several in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, foolishly left behind when members were evacuated in a panic.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Italian job. A story circulating on the web from one Maria Zack, founder of a fair election monitoring org called Nations in Action, says that the election ballot fraud operation was run out of Italy through a set of that country’s communication satellites by a CIA team working with former Italian government officials, and one of Italy’s defense contractors. The story claims that former president Barack Obama was directly involved and that the operation was financed with dollars skimmed from the billions of dollars transferred to Iran under the terms of Mr. Obama’s No Nukes deal. Affidavits and depositions are filed. The UK’s MI6 may be involved, as they were in the RussiaGate shenanigans. Is this just another mind-fuck? Maybe. I guess we’ll have to stand by and find out. You can do that, can’t you? In the fog of the moment?

Did congress knowingly certify a fraudulent election? That will be a tantalizing question in the days ahead. Another rumor in the fog says that Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe delivered a report on foreign interference in the election to members of congress following the conclusion early Thursday morning of their electoral college business. Was that the match that set Resistance panties on fire? Mr. Ratcliffe has been missing-in-action for more than a week. His report was originally scheduled for delivery to the president November 18. It was postponed and everybody forgot about it, especially the news media.

Let’s also just step back for a moment and ask: why did so many flag-waving MAGAs turn out Wednesday on the Mall in Washington DC? Answer: because they have been served one shit sandwich after another for four years by the Democratic Party and their captive news media, and the latest one featured vote tabulations getting erased in real time at ten-plus thousand vote increments right before their eyes on the flatscreen in the wee hours of November 4. And after that, and other balloting monkeyshines, the response from their government was a mere yawn. Total institutional failure. The ballot fraud that so many witnessed was never aired or adjudicated in a proper legal forum, and they were good and goddam pissed about it.

Mr. Trump is rumored to be at an air force base in Texas, having vamoosed the White House as being unsafe for him. Is he cornered by his antagonists or does he have a planned operation underway? Who knows (not me)? He certainly had enough time to plan it, and the king-post in the whole deal may have been that he had to exhaust all the ritual avenues in disputing the election fraud before he could launch a counter-coup. If his adversaries intend to run the 25th Amendment on him, he will have to act quickly.

The president didn’t appear panicked in the speech released on Thursday, in which he promised that orderly transition to the next administration, certainly not panicked in the inflamed manner of Nancy Pelosi. In the mythology of my people, the Golem was a giant fashioned out of clay by a rabbi seeking desperately to protect his village from a pogrom. I didn’t dub Mr. Trump the Golden Golem of Greatness for nothing. For the moment all is fog and noise.

    I think I speak for many who are on the right, alt-right, white or male when I say this doesn’t feel like our country and we are now hated citizens in our own land. I was born into a heavy democrat family, union and all that, and I believed many of the core OLD democrat values: anti-war, pro-environment, pro-worker – of course we have not seen those values espoused for 20 years. Obama paid some small lip service before proceeding to disregard everything and switch hard into identity politics.

    Despite the constant rhetoric of ‘racism’/sexism whatever, being white and male you are discriminated against covertly or overtly in this country, and it will only get worse. Many, many civil service exams give points to female, minority, and military, so Sandra Martinez the 1 year army private who left after pregnancy is getting +15 pts on a 100 point test. So when someone tries to tell me how racist orsexist I am by virtue of simply being a white male, it simply doesn’t stack up to the facts.

    The scariest thing is the rise of big tech. Watching the alt-right back in the heyday of the movement (early 2010s) was a fascinating and exciting time. But slowly and inevitably youtube, google and others would delist, block and destroy major alt-right players – replacing them with ‘approved’ alternatives who almost always had connections back to big tech or finance. All the real people got wiped out. This culminated in the 2016 Charlottesville witch hunt that generally destroyed the movement (which was prevailing against big tech despite the uphill battle)

    Trump won, and acted as a type of relief valve to the anger of the right. As to whether he was successful, that leaves a lot open for debate. But what is not debatable is the fact this election was out-right stolen and bigtech/dems refuse to do any sort of audit to cast legitimacy over it. Joe biden is not a leader, nor is the identity politics ‘multi-race’ harris, they are clear stooges of the deep state.

    To be clear, the alt-right (and all those with similar views) have been hunted online for many years, Trump represented a type of control or stress relief. With the blatant steal, and total disregard for the right we now feel like there is nothing left to strive or live for in this country. It has abandoned us and views us as enemies. This will not turn out pretty. Expect a quick slide into 3rd world economies, banana boat republics and the worst parts of cyberpunk dystopias of passports/vaccines and spying.

    Also expect a lot of violence, real or otherwise, all of it blamed on the right of course.

      • shotho January 8, 2021 at 10:36 am #

        Right. Maybe nothing has stuck on Trump to this point, but it’s on him like glue now. They’ve got him where they have been wanting him and they have the power to make it stick. I think Uncle Joe would not want to see Trump persecuted and prosecuted any further, if for no other reason he would not want to face the same in the future, but it may be out of his hands.
        Trump would probably be well-advised to get out of Dodge now, hunker down in Florida and keep his mouth shut. I imagine he’s being given that advice, but he seems to take advice poorly.

        • BackRowHeckler January 8, 2021 at 1:18 pm #

          I doubt ‘Uncle Joe’ — Beijing Biden — will be around long, maybe not for more than a few months. This trojan horse has mucho Chinese Schwag to spend, and at 78 years old, not alot of time to spend it. A loyal soldier, he served his purpose, now it’s time for ‘Uncle Joe’ to reap the reward.

      Many decades ago, Frank Sinatra a dyed in the wool Democrat was once asked why he left the Democrat party and became a staunch supporter of Ronald Reagan. His response was: “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me”. And that was when the Democrat Party was still civil, hasn’t been for decades.

      Martin Armstrong has for quite some time, well before the elections said it would be the most corrupt election in American history and he was right. He also said prior to the elections that neither side would accept defeat and that chaos, violence and civil unrest was assured. It looks like he will be right and those calls as well.

        Until the Clintons made the party unrecognizable. Sure, it had some bumps and fits before they ruined it, but they gave it the death blow.

        • abbybwood January 8, 2021 at 1:31 pm #

          I was running for Congress in 1992 and was deep into the thick of Democrat politics here in Southern California.

          There was a big hoop-tee-doo here at a swank hotel ballroom and I had been invited as a candidate.

          But I was also doing research on Bill Clinton and his Mena, Arkansas cocaine trafficking/South American troop training operation along with Poppy Bush.

          Terry Reed, the author of “Compromised” actually showed up to my house one night and did an interview with me and an associate of mine. Sarah McClenden (who I am proud to say endorsed me) actually asked Bill Clinton about Mena at a press conference and he denied all.

          So I knew Bill Clinton was out in the hallway of the shindig waiting to be introduced and I made my way through his detail and started asking him questions about Mena. He shifted back and forth, tried to pull his charm on me but I pressed on. Finally his face turned beet red and I was scooted away.

          That was the day he made a big DLC (Democratic Leadership Council) speech and we all knew this would be a huge shift in the party away from being anti-war, pro-environment, pro-union, Medicare for All etc.

          After he was elected and gutted Glass-Steagall in 1999? the Democrat/Corporate/Big Banking coup was in full steam ahead mode.

          But being a fool I fell for the whole Obama schtick TWICE then when they had the gall to try to crown the criminal Hillary Queen that was when I walked away from the Democrat Party for good and supported Trump. Not because I supported him, but because I really wanted to be a part of sticking it to her.

          Hillary’s denial of the crown and all the tears and moaning at The Javitz Center on election night 2016 started off the series of political tantrums we all witnessed over the past four years including the pussy hat demo where Madonna said she had dreams of “blowing up The White House” and woke degenerates with blue hair pounding on the doors to a Senate chamber as they screamed and wailed against Kavanaugh.

          I feel we have just witnessed a fascist coup with the lockdowns against a Magic Virus with a 99% survival rate and the millions of unsolicited mail in ballots that had the word FRAUD stamped on them.

          I am old now, will refuse the biotech mRNA vaccine and it seems all I can do now is watch the show and try to get my spring bulbs planted.

          • MaryV January 8, 2021 at 6:46 pm #

            Wow that’s a great story. I quit the Dems in 2006 or so, and always hated the Clintons.

          • Rain Waters January 8, 2021 at 10:37 pm #

            Tie died in the wool Dems started looking too rich for my tastes by 2000 too. When the remaining “players in the band” endorsed O for second term that was it for me. Now our voices will be removed from Archive too. . .

            Nothing against wealth expressed or implied, but just like another demographic has been noted to demonstrate.

            Rich F%X tend to devolve to ghetto slime in larger groups.

            Turns the dam farm into an Ep styn wet dream.

          • Islander January 9, 2021 at 12:31 am #

            This parallels very closely my own trajectory. I come from a very liberal background. Father pacifist/socialist, mother. I would never had dreamed of voting for a Repug!! Even though we all hated Johnson—remember how much we hated him?—I would NEVER have voted Repug!!!

            I saw what was going on under Bill Clinton but couldn’t put the three worst things that went down on his “watch”—Glass-Steagall, NAFTA, welfare reform (at that time I couldn’t comprehend the significance of the attack on Yugoslavia)—into a bigger context. It was only when the s— hit the fan with the Maidan, with Syria, then with the Hillary candidacy—that I became really disgusted with the Dem Party and decided to vote for Trump just to put a wrench in the Hillary works!! I am from a blue state, so it was just a gesture to weaken her expected mandate. Ha ha!!

            I was appalled by Trump, but even more appalled to witness the response to him, the attempt to utterly degrade him personally, and his voters, and the office of the presidency that he had won. I couldn’t believe the pink pussy hat BS–who was behind it? Then the Russiagate thing got cranked up in earnest. I checked out of the Dem Party.

            I tried to talk to Dem friends and family—to explain that something was very wrong with *our* party and we had to fix *our* party, not just emote all day long about Trump. But these people only wanted to emote about Trump, not have a conversation about what was going on in the US of A.

            Then came the C’ville incident. One of my relatives t hought it was wrong of the ACLU to (at first) defend the right of the C’ville march to take place. Major rot, IMO. Not to understand that the point of civil liberties is that they don’t depend on your agreeing with your adversaries to guarantee their right to express their own views. Down the toilet. Trump was excoriated for saying that there was violence on both sides. Which was true.

            More and more I saw that the “left” in this country was being driven crazy by Trump! What was doubly disturbing was that I actually couldn’t stand Trump either—for example, his kowtowing to Israel— but I was actually more disgusted by the obviously unhinged obsession on the left with bringing Trump down by any means, including torturing the public with the impeachment farce. They were never going to accept that he had managed to win the presidency.

            Hence for me now the big theater about “concession” is ludicrous, after what the Dems have put the country through. It is really no wonder that Trump voters have been driven ever more mad by the crazy show put on by Washington. Topped off by suppression of genuine news regarding Hunter Biden and the general “canceling” of the president. Extraordinary. “Leaders” in DC are pretending to be “sane” while uttering crazy stuff like Nancy Pelosi’s rantings. Who believes that the Biden is anything but an empty figurehead for backroom manipulators? But all of the “emptiness” and “fakeness” ad “ranting” is hung on Trump.

          • emme January 9, 2021 at 8:21 am #

            Abby wood, your political journey is similar to my own, minus a run for political office. Raised by lifelong pro-union democrats, who became anti-war as a result of serving in WW2 and watching Viet Nam unfold. Pro Medicare for all and pro environment in the sense of conserving resources and cleaning up our messes. Think Jimmy Carter’s learn to live well with less, not the 4IR high tech gizmos and gadgets being touted as the solutions to our energy woes today.

            That party disappeared, bit by bit, mostly during the Clinton years. And it is not coming back. The progressives say they will push the Biden administration to the left, but other than M4A, their agenda is identity politics and techno fabulous energy solutions. The whole Build Back Better schtick The question is, better for whom? Not us, I suspect.

            On a side note, a whole ‘ other lifetime ago, I worked as a local reporter in a small city near Arkansas. The local Democrats were having a cocktail fundraiser event with speakers, etc; media invited. New AR gov Bill Clinton was one of the speakers. And you are not kidding about the man’s ability to lay on the good ole boy charm, especially on any female who crosses his path.

        • Uncle Bob January 9, 2021 at 12:05 am #

          The worst thing the Democrats ever did was taking the Clintons and their donor base over a genuine war hero like Bob Kerrey, who was also governor then senator from traditionally red Nebraska. I guess even then, in 1992, they were engaging in identity politics (the “genius” Hillary vs. Medal of Honor winner Kerrey). Thanks.

        • MisterBimmler January 9, 2021 at 12:03 pm #

          Remember who paved the way for Clinton: Gary Hart. It’s been written about in other places how the backlash from Watergate (itself a very fishy episode) opened the door for the money men to reconfigure the economy around finance, with the rejuvenated Baby Boomer Democratic Party in the vanguard.
          Now with the level of automation that’s been achieved in the economy and the switch from mass conscription armies to battalion or company-sized commando teams backed up by air support, there’s no more need to pander to the lower orders. The economy is being reconfigured yet again for the reset. The question is can they manage to pull up the drawbridge before their castle sinks into the swamp. They don’t need you anymore. They think. We’ll soon find out how far a breakaway civilization can take the world with their heads jammed fully into their backsides.

      • Troy Skaggs January 10, 2021 at 5:03 pm #

        I grew up in a liberal family and identified as such until a deployment to Afghanistan couldn’t square with what I was hearing on N.P.R.’s Democracy Now. Most corporate media now reeks of controlled opposition now that I’ve stepped away from it. I’d always had a sense of cognitive dissonance going on, an intuitive itch that I needed to scratch. That scratching led me to ground in diametric opposition of “Provressive” unreality. The Democratic charade is obvious and disgusting. As a rural working class space case, it took me a few more years to realize that the Republicans aren’t very reliable travelling partners either. I don’t think there’s a genteel way through any of this. Low trust to the lowest of common denominators marketed as a just, fair, vital, benevolent and NECESSARY Democracy/Republic by those in highest of places financed by the highest of bidders. A beacon of blatant piracy for the whole world to see. High ground still exists I believe, but it’s certainly doesn’t exist in the Mainstream anymore.

        • Ron Anselmo January 11, 2021 at 12:23 am #

          Well said Troy. Yes, high ground still exists. We need to take it and hold it. Good always prevails.

    • MaryV January 8, 2021 at 11:14 am #

      Well said, a very astute analysis. I also grew up in a Democrat household and espouse those same traditionally Democrat values. That ended when the globalist Clintons infiltrated and took over the party. I have not been supportive of it since. And even before that, corporatism was making it practically identical to the Republican party. Both are ‘establishment’ and do nothing at all for the actual citizens of this country. But at least during Trump, we got a respite from new wars, for the most part. We got someone who would blurt out truths about the deep state (how refreshing). At least he’d address it! So we know HE knows.

      And then along came the identity politics: the Trans Agenda, which is a big pharma psyop and its sister social engineering divider, ‘anti-racism’ (which is racist). And universities and colleges are instituting both. The goal is to get people to accept fascist practices such as you illustrate, with pushing aside whitey to give a People Of Color ™ their job, no matter the qualification or experience. I have been watching this unfold as well. The way they are able to do this is the CIA’s grip on the mainstream media, which Trump also criticized, and which most of us now realize is destructive garbage.

      I stopped watching TV ‘news’ in 2012 and that’s why I can clearly see who is destroying our country in order to usher in global techno-fascism. Thank you for being a fellow soldier in this fight against these horrible monsters. I hope that JHK is right and something prevails against them. Otherwise, we are in for Dark Ages 2.0.

      • JohnAZ January 8, 2021 at 11:19 am #

        All methods to divide the country to maintain power, Machiavellian power control, that has been used for centuries.

        This is what the FF were afraid of when they drafted the Constitution and invented the division of power. The same division of power that the Dems are so busy undoing right now.

        Dumb kids and immigrants!!! It is working for them.

        I too grew up in a staunch Democrat home but I don’t vote that way anymore. The Democrats are no longer the party of my parents and grandparents. Seems to me though that many haven’t yet realized this and sort of reflexively vote the party ticket no matter what.

        • MaryV January 8, 2021 at 12:21 pm #

          • SW January 8, 2021 at 2:57 pm #

            Bill Clinton was a master at manipulating the lower to middle class voters. He understood them and was able to articulate sympathy with their problems but no real empathy. He also got out of the sticks of Arkansas as quickly as possible (& I don’t blame him) and started up the ladder of success. The Democratic Party was a tool for him to climb that ladder. So many things he did or left undone — like health care — have set the stage for a deep rot to set in.

            He was the Grim Reaper of unions, industrialization in America, protection from predatory bankers, hope for universal health care, and he opened the door wide to private prisons. But he is staunchly defended by most Democrats I know and Obama is untouchable.

          Your mistake was in that you kept voting like your hooked on it for voting don’t mean a thing, if everyone would simply quit voting things would change but as long as they can con you that its somehow UN=American not to vote than they have you hooked.

          I saw today where Fakebook took down “The Walk Away” movement’s page.

          500,000 video testimonials from various Americans who have walked away from the Democrat Party….gone.

          So now we can add one more reason to loathe the Democrats: censorship.

        I’m another “me too” here. Totally let down by the big D Dems. Around 2010 or so I told them they no longer represented my views and to leave me alone. I suppose most of us who stuck with Jim during his disillusionment with the “fake left” as Ramin Mazaheri calls them have been through as much of a let down. Our dear K-Dog had not quite reached that, I think. But I wonder how much it does take for some people to see the maggots in the rotting corpse of a once great party. My mother refuses to look at anything beyond the mainstream news. My father, were he still with us, would deep down have recognized that the party was over, but I also imagine that realization would have been too much for him and he’d have shrugged and pretended it weren’t so.

      Discrimenation against White Males isn’t new buddy! We had 300 years of white privilege. When I applied to U-Washington in 1968 – American born Asian, Black, females who were long disenfranchised had an easier path in. Many of us young white men just stepped up to the plate and worked a hell of a lot harder than other privileged white guys who claimed the game was rigged and gave up. Step up to the plate buddy unless your daddy can get you in the way DJ Drumpf’s daddy got him in. Hope there’s never a draft unless you have bone-spurs.

Now they all have some lame excuse. Piles, Bow-legged, bon spurs..whatever. Even Goerge II who was supposedly in the ‘Air National Guard’ (since he never turned up, I don’t count him).

    • amb January 8, 2021 at 1:43 pm #

      Must look at the big picture. The American government was infiltrated and derailed decades and decades ago. The Populist movement… with Trump being a symbol (like Reagan and Perot) has just pulled the curtain back exposing much much more of the rot we already knew existed. The stolen election was just a battle in a very big and ongoing war. Fourth Turning? Shining the Light of Truth? Renaissance of the Nation-State? call it what you will, but this is just the beginning. We are all in this for the long haul. Sort of a “Hundred Year’s War”. Reagan, Perot and Trump just got the ball rolling. We will become more sophisticated, increase our numbers, and find more and more competent leaders to fight these battles and eventually win the war.

        Yes, well spoken. Also new American heroes will be made in these battles and wars – Ashli Babbitt may not only be the first casualty, but in my opinion, the first hero. Something tells me she’d prefer that over heroine. God bless her.

          Too much fossil fuels put in the hands of humans cheaper than water

          Sustaining a social divide is colossally energy-costly.

          The trillions of mobile-phone, laptops and TV views over US election scenes and news for all the last months worldwide have made those devices wear and tear quicker.

          Now they’ll require earlier repairs and replacements.

          Putting the incredibly energy-dense finite fossil fuels in the hand of humans by Economics, cheaper than water – has made humans abusing those one-off resources to waste.

          They are turned into waste when humans build SUVs, operating fake Energy projects, run noisy, outdated social contracts, political systems and elections – overlooking what irreplaceable energy resources are burned in the process – for good.

          No matter what, the last US election appears a small dispute between angels – when compared to Iraq, for instance, where that country becomes paralysed for months and years after each [typically troubled] election. Oil exports remain working like a Swiss Watch amid all that chaos, though!

          Sustaining a social divide is colossally energy-costly, indeed.

      Perhaps you don’t understand that the world has changed and your white male privileges have been discounted back to the “all men are created equal” aspiration written into the Declaration of Independence that founded your country. The constant whining from well educated middle-aged white men who suddenly find that white privilege is meaningless in a globalized world (that they voted for in the past) is pathetic.

    • Amman January 10, 2021 at 11:14 am #

      It is obvious, overseas at least, that the target is the one you mentioned. It seems incredible to some but that is the fact. The worst, the most transgressive, are now treated better and lauded as examples of being and life. Ultimately, indirectly or directly, the rise of European peoples led to the rise and augmentation of the planets population by an additional 2 Billion humans despite the liberal fairy tales taught in today’s universities. This confirms the judgment that the rise of the European populations, as a civlization force, was ultimately positive and pro-life in a historic scale. So you should thank your maker for that. (This is also the case with Middle Islamic civilization, their sciences and their global reach but that is another story and concerns a far smaller planet population..) To conclude, if there had been a serious downfall to this civilizational force, you can be sure there would have been serious consequences on a negative and proportionate scale. I conlclude with that last statement and believe it in.

    • Unperson37854 January 12, 2021 at 10:57 am #

      No justice is coming. We have and have had more evidence of crimes that gets ignored than the left have ever had, and yet they’re able to run with unnamed sources opinions as irrefutable proof to build a myth into a rock-solid fact.

      The actions of left are not because they are scared or desperate. They are emboldened, no consequences are coming their way and they are just showing more of their true colors.

      Exploiting the capital protests (complete with Antifa agitators on camera calling to burn it down who conveniently AREN’T getting charged for anything) is just what the left does, even if this exploitation wasn’t planned, they would’ve done it anyway, they’ve had more than 4 years of coordinated practice accusing others of what they do, and not letting a good crisis go to waste.

      I don’t care what anyone is saying. The left now has the military, that was the final piece to their puzzle. There will be no resistance that won’t be squashed or painted as violent (even if it isn’t) by the media, any proof of fake news or crimes by the left will be censored and the masses will go right along with it, believing the next version of the “existential threat” that gets recycled every so many tears.

      True fascism and tyranny that they accused Trump of for 4 years is about to be implemented (for real) on anyone who does not evangelize their new religion and profess their faith.

      Interesting times lay ahead.

    • Rodster January 8, 2021 at 10:42 am #

      I’m afraid it’s over my friend. Many in the past including JHK have said Trump would unleash all kinds of damning information on swamp creatures and have them put behind bars. It never happened. Many are now saying Trump will fight to the end. I seriously doubt that.

      If anything Trump may pardon himself because the Swamp wants him charged for what happened at the Capitol and put behind bars.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder January 8, 2021 at 10:50 am #

        “the Swamp wants him charged for what happened at the Capitol and put behind bars.”

        Which is ludicrous, of course.

        If he had said, “C’mon everyone! Let’s storm the Capitol building…freeeeedom!!”, then they would have a point.

        But…no. Sadly for the swamp, he said “come gather peacefully”, and then when they stirred up he said “Hey – time to go home, folks.”

        The only people to be charged are the people who actually committed any crimes in doing said storming. Of course, in the potential Bizarro America of the near future, who the hell knows if logic will be worth much to most. Especially those in power.

        • MaryV January 8, 2021 at 11:32 am #

          The media of course are reporting ad nauseam that he has urged a breach of the capitol. I asked one of the people repeating the garbage for an exact quote from him and of course she couldn’t provide it. Reminds me of when he commented that vaccines are disinfectant (they are), the media reported he had suggested drinking bleach.

          Our mainstream media are destroying this country and they know exactly what they are doing.

            Mary,
            Yesterday, I posted the transcript of the entire speech…it was not an incitement to riot…but we do not control the narrative.

            ” I guess we’ll have to stand by and find out.”

            Our Host is being optimistic…we will only hear a constant drum beat of negative reportage regarding Trump and the current issues and, perhaps, vague, furtive rumors from the unwashed.

            I have said it from the start. The McMedia is the greatest threat, because all channels of mass communication are controlled.

            Trump made a video telling supporters to remain peaceful, and Twatter removed it claiming it would incite violence.

            Everything is inversion.

            If this fraudulent result ends up standing, the US is done. They are going to ensure there is no possibility whatsoever for a populist candidate to rise.

            The voter fraud system alone makes voting pointless. Every spineless jellyfish who enabled this is responsible, and in the end, many of them will suffer as well — because we are all in the peon class.

        • rlread52 January 8, 2021 at 12:32 pm #

          He actually said ““We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and Congressmen and women… to fight… we will never give up, we will never concede… explosions of bullshit.” He said “we – march” at least 5 times then he fled after inflaming the mob who marched and foamed and went crazy where 5 were killed. That’s why it’s termed fomenting. The blood is on his and your hands.

          • Bytes January 8, 2021 at 1:23 pm #

            BS. Trump is not responsible for some who didn’t follow the law. What he said is not illegal. Nor should it be impeachable. But jerkoffs like you, of course, can’t comprehend that since you have hounded Trump the entire time he was in office. Disgusting, with blood on your hands = you.

        Alas, that is what I think too. It looks over to me.

        But, JHK wrote a VERY interesting column, chock-full of internet buzz that has eluded me, and I try to follow this stuff…

        I read the other day that Trump had problems hiring good people there in DC because at his business he mostly hired family and people he trusted. In DC he pretty much could ONLY hire Swamp Creatures because they knew the system. Seems plausible, in that the Swamp Creatures did ZERO for him and our country.

        * * *

        It does seem likely that ANTIFA & Co. infiltrated the MAGA rally and were instrumental in the worst of the (relatively mild) violence seen at the Capitol.

        I hope we get reliable word soon.

    You have to ask yourself: Why is it so desperately essential to kick President Trump out of office now, when his term runs out in twelve days? On the face of it, it makes no sense. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Pelosi and Schumer so frantic.
    Also – weren’t you proud of all the Congresscritters who so bravely stood up to the protesters? Neither was I. They all hid in their respective basements, like children hiding from the Bogeyman.

      Congratulations, Amerika, you have just voted yourself out of power.

      When DC and PR become states, the Uniparty is complete. No GOP president will ever become elected again.

      • Rodster January 8, 2021 at 10:50 am #

        That’s been a LONG held belief of JHK that Trump would declassify information and have the “Swamp Creatures” arrested, put on trial and thrown in jail. It’s not going to happen.

        The only thing I can see is that Trump won’t be at Joe Biden’s inauguration. And it would be fitting to mirror what Pelosi did by tearing up his speech during the SOTU.

        The USSA is officially a joke and heading towards third world status, a Banana Republic. China must literally be laughing all the way to the bank because they will say Fuck You when Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Bill Gates and the others want them to go along with their Great Reset plans.

            Yeah, except that’s not what he said. He never mentioned Biden or even the year. It was a carefully crafted statement that left a lot of wiggle room and was not legally conceding, true for both the tweets and recent videos. Trump is stalling for time for reasons currently unknown (fog of war).

            Also, because something has not happened doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen. This thing could still go a number of directions and the mere fact that Piglosi and the rest of the scum are running around with their hair on fire speaks volumes. They are afraid of something.

    • SW January 8, 2021 at 10:45 am #

      Yes, we saw many Profiles in Courage as our fearless leaders lead the stampede to the “safe places.” Here’s a good quote from Glenn Greenwald:

      “Perhaps many view it as more upsetting to see august members of Congress hiding in fear of a riot than to watch ordinary small-business owners weep as their multi-generational store burns to the ground. Undoubtedly, national reporters who spend much time in the Capitol and who have long-time friendships with Senators and House members are more horrified, far more so, by violent gangs in the Capitol rotunda than on the streets of Portland or Kenosha.”

      He further makes the point that the Defund the Police crowd are furious that the police didn’t give them adequate protection, after denouncing Tom Cotton for suggesting the National Guard quell riots–now demand the National Guard show up to protect their precious hides and of course this was an insurrection, a coup but the CHAZ zone in Seattle was just one big happy street party!

      There are plenty of moves Trump could make in two weeks besides the above.

      The Democrats and Pence and what is left of his cabinet KNOW he isn’t crazy, they simply fear what he can do with his power.

      Of course, when he commuted Jonathan Pollard’s sentence a few weeks ago and Pollard flew to Israel and kissed the ground, I don’t think one of the stooges in the MSM bothered to mention THAT.

      As to the ‘congresscritters’ hiding in the basement – please note this includes the Trumpian defenders – Hawley, Jordan, Gaetz, Gohmert etc etc. After all. these were ‘their people’ – they should have welcomed them, shouldn’t they?

    • aresolympus January 10, 2021 at 5:51 pm #

      WHY? Because Trump has maniac followers who may think their criminal behavior will be forgiven by a pardon.

      Pence can keep the seat warm for Biden just fine. He doesn’t shout about rigged elections. He didn’t follow Trump’s orders to deny state counts in the electoral college.

      Pence is the one who some protestors were making death threats against. But I know, all violent Trump supports are antifa in costume.

      The real insanity is why some capitol police seemed to help the rioters inside the capitol! What a crazy dangerous plan, presumably they are trump supporters hoping to stop the count after Pence failed.
      https://twitter.com/christina_bobb/status/1347596278583197698 Capitol police open doors for the protestors. They stand aside and invite them inside.

        Capitol police presumably Trump supporters? Can you say false flag, dumbass? Probably can’t spell it – but you can say it, right? Wake up.

    Part of the fog is the hilarious grievance contests launched in the corporate press to further divide people: capitol stormers weren’t mowed down because they are protected by white supremacy. Their greatest fear is that the protesters of this summer and the protesters of January 6 have much in common, including enemies.

    • rainmaker January 8, 2021 at 10:33 am #

      Great point. And what a ridiculous claim, given BLM’s free rein all summer to burn down businesses, terrorize neighborhoods in the middle of the night, kill people in its made-up ‘zones’.

      • abbybwood January 9, 2021 at 12:30 am #

        Notice BLM is kind of silent right now (except for making demands to Biden?)

        Why? Because all the various chapters of BLM all over the country are busy fighting “the founder/executive director” over all the multi-millions of $$ that flowed in last summer!

        “We want our cut bitch!” (To paraphrase the fighting).

        Ha.

    • Tate January 8, 2021 at 7:52 pm #

      Bernie Bros. pipe dream. Having enemies in common isn’t enough. We have too much otherwise not in common.

    And, of course, narration management: an “attempted coup” has taken place. If Biden/Harris take office an actual, successful coup will have been pulled off – nearly bloodless, except for a token martyr to make it appear that Trump has the blood on his hands.

    I certainly do not call for violence, and it’s not clear that the violence of January 6th was committed by Trump supporters, but the assertion that everyone should simply have stayed home through this crucial transition begs the question of when, if ever, a call to defend democracy is warranted.

    Our political system has been violated, perhaps beyond repair, and there is no longer any recourse for citizens through the sanctioned political process.

    The atrocious Trump is no Founding Father, but he is an embodiment of today’s America and he’s what we’ve got.
    Perhaps Paul Revere should have stayed home, or advised the citizens of Lexington and Concord to stay in their homes, because that’s where we are today.

    As for evidence of paid performers and agitators employed to turn a demonstration into a mob scene, there is plenty of reason to believe it’s true – as it has been in numerous false flag events in recent years.

      Zoltar,

      The evidence is already in that the violence, mild as it was, was not done by Trump supporters. Antifa were bussed in, lead the crowd to the capitol, and were probably the ones breaking the windows while the crowd can be heard telling them to stop doing that. Also, there is a serious question of reports that the police helped remove the barriers.

      • Beryl of Oyl January 8, 2021 at 10:40 am #

        I heard the “violence” started when the Trump supporters were still over listening to his speech.

        • sophia January 9, 2021 at 3:32 pm #

          Beryl,

          I also heard that the barriers were opened at just the moment that evidence was to be presented – which interrupted those proceedings.

      • Zoltar January 8, 2021 at 10:44 am #

        We agree on this initial information, Sophia. More evidence will be forthcoming, before those in control gradually suck it back into the memory hole, turning it all into a “conspiracy theory.”

    We are at a crossroads in the country.

    The Left has said we need more government control to take care of all the people. Our wonderful leaders know how to do the job better than we do.

    This is a totalitarian coup period. Due to humongous influx of really stupid children and illegal really stupid immigrants, we are at this juncture.

    It is up to Patriots to fight back, (how), leave for a better place or secede. True Americans are going to find Amerika intolerable.

    Leave the country to the scumbags that voted these suckers in.

            Abbywood I fear you are a few years too late. Masses of richies (many retirees) have moved in and sent real estate prices heavenward. All the good property has been snapped up and starting flipping.

            I spent a vacation a few years back with my widowed brother-in-law, in a fine house just below Buchanan Dam. Wooded, quiet, near a main highway to Burnet and Austin.

            I thought it would be great to live like that except that as in most of the Hill Country you are enslaved to your vehicle. Everything is at least 30 minutes away: grocery store, clinic, hardware emporium. Unless you want to live in one of the small cities or large towns, like New Braunfels, which is not such a bad notion either (given property prices).

            It’s the nicest part of Texas, by far, and that includes the polite, relaxed, open friendliness of the locals. I’d pretty much forgotten all that, living years in Asia.

    JHK – Just like all your columns this past year, virtually every sentence starts with, “it is rumored”. Why don’t you stop writing until just one of those rumors becomes true, or one of those ‘bombshells’ of evidence actually shows up, or one of the investigations actually results in a legal charge of something.

    Catharsis — “Why…” Because events are moving fast, and maybe you didn’t notice that I said we were in a fog of war and it’s not so easy to discern what the truth is… so I am reporting it as rumor. — JHK Admin

    All the people you talk to and cite appear to be clueless, with a zero track record, making you look silly too. You are letting your anger (justified or not) rule your intellect. Write about the world as it is, rather than the one your id wishes was real.

    • benr January 8, 2021 at 10:31 am #

      Since you have said this at least two other times why don’t you take that as a sign that this is what has his creative juices flowing and just deal with it?

    • Zoltar January 8, 2021 at 10:32 am #

      No, catharsis. You are the clueless one, if you think those now in control are likely to permit rumors of this sort to be substantiated.

      If we all believed, as you do, that the corporate press is providing us “the world as it is,” then we would be truly lost.

    • Mostly Disagreeable January 8, 2021 at 10:42 am #

      The corporate press spends its energies constructing just-so narratives. It is one’s civic duty to construct counternarratives to tease out an approximation of the truth. Comparing narratives also reveals what narrators value.

    • Beryl of Oyl January 8, 2021 at 10:42 am #

      That’s what reporting is. If there are rumors, you report that there are rumors.

      • Redneck Liberal January 10, 2021 at 6:43 pm #

        Journalism is guided by five values:

        Honesty: journalists must be truthful. It is unacceptable to report information known to be false, or report facts in a misleading way to give a wrong impression;

        Independence and objectivity: journalists should avoid topics in which they have a financial or personal interest that would provide them a particular benefit in the subject matter, as that interest may introduce bias into their reporting, or give the impression of such bias. In cases where a journalist may have a specific financial or personal interest, the interest should be disclosed;

        Fairness: journalists must present facts with impartiality and neutrality, presenting other viewpoints and sides to a story where these exist. It is unacceptable to slant facts;

        Diligence: a journalist should gather and present pertinent facts to provide a good understanding of the subject reported;

        Accountability: a journalist must be accountable for their work, prepared to accept criticism and consequences
        (Wikipedia)

        Nothing about reporting rumors…

    • shotho January 8, 2021 at 10:44 am #

      There is obviously a lot of wishful thinking going on as the power elites actually make things happen.

    • catharsis January 8, 2021 at 10:54 am #

      I emphasize this because constantly reporting rumors creates a false reality. That’s how propaganda works,
      After 50 states of both parties, various intelligence services, including the presidents own appointees, and 60 courts all said that there is no evidence that the election was fraudulent, JHK today restates that it was – with no proof beyond rumors that ‘some people saw votes disappearing.’
      This leads believers of those rumors to storm the capitol, leading to 5 deaths and political crisis.
      The repetition of false rumors is standard authoritarian tactics, and it works – see burning of the Reichstag.
      I mean really – people at the storming said they were to find the pedophiles that run the country.
      JHK needs to own and examine his part in stirring this pot – that’s why I have epeatedly mentioned it.

      • JohnAZ January 8, 2021 at 11:31 am #

        Constantly reporting rumors as truth is what creates a false reality. I respect our host for his honesty regarding the provenance of the information he passes on. Want certainty? Tune in to the MSM. Absolutely not a shred of doubt there to tarnish the narrative! They will supply you with nonsense that hasn’t even been hyped up to the level of rumor all day, but once spewed from the mouths of these talking heads it is pure unadulterated truth. Consume enough of that and I’d be reaching for an emetic too.

      • kendar667 January 8, 2021 at 7:43 pm #

        You can’t actually believe there is no evidence of voter fraud can you? Just in case you are not trolling, here is one of many links summarizing all of the shenanigans. Some of these guys like The Armistad Project literally have hundreds of pages of affidavits and other proof.

        https://got-freedom.org/evidence/

        Also, Peter Navarro’s The Immaculate Deception is a good break-down of the statistical impossibilities. BTW, no court decided any case based on merits, all cases were tossed for things like standing or case was filed too late, etc. That’s another way of saying, “we ain’t gonna touch this hot potato”

      Due to The Magic Virus, the entire affair will be contained. No parade, no walking down Constitution Avenue (because Jumbled Joe isn’t physically capable of a brisk walk like that), no “Ball” with Doctor Jill all prettied up and Carmalita and hubby doing the Freaky dance together.

      Nope. This will be the weirdest Inauguration in US history. Too bad I’ll have to miss it.

      • Wizard of the Saddle January 8, 2021 at 3:00 pm #

        Creepy Joe and his even creepier inaugural festivities. I won’t be watching either, but I’m sure we will all enjoy reading the after-action reports of all the weirdness.

      • Yohannon January 8, 2021 at 7:49 pm #

        Just put up hundreds of thousands of carboard target people. Maybe the ones of old White men and young pregnant White women that Homeland used for target practice.

      • emme January 9, 2021 at 9:11 am #

        Well, it is pretty chilly in January and doubt ole Joe can tolerate much of that. So he stays warm and gets to use a teleprompter for the oath and speech. Wonder if he will be able to deliver a coherent speech by the 20th?

        At least all inaugural balls are cancelled, thank god. Partying in the face of so many people locked down for a year would set a new standard for tone deaf.

    As I recall the Golem became an uncontrollable monster, spreading death, destruction, and havoc all over the place. Is that how our story ends?

    I don’t like saying this, but if Trump couldn’t make a significant dent in draining the swamp in four years, he’s not about to open a big can of whoop-ass now. The man is all talk, insults, and zingers flung on Twitter. When it comes to action – not so good.

    My God, it took him two years to figure out Sessions was worthless. Then it took him another 2 years to figure out Barr was worthless. As a Boss, Trump was a faster learner and judge of employee value on his TV show. What happened? Yes, it’s all a fog. Maybe one day someone can sort it all out.

        Uh, when he looked at his talent pool for selecting his cabinet, all he saw were Deep Staters. The real cabinet, his family, were the only folks he could trust, hence they were integral.

        The lesson that should be learned here is that the tentacles of the Deep State are everywhere. There is no escaping the web that has been cast by Dems and RINOs over the past thirty years.

      Basically that is what Ann Coulter wrote about Trump this week. I don’t buy the propaganda about his being the best economy US had pre-Covid. I did support him immigration and border prrotection, China trade, and efforts to restore manufacturing in the U.S. but overall his policies were well within the “old abnormal”. He missed a great opportunity to stop Russia drifting toward China. He was clueless on the importance of Russia as a world player and supplier of energy. He should have appointed Ike’s granddaughter, Susan Eisenhower, as a Sec of State. She would have been an exquisite diplomat that would have brought instant polish into the administration. Trump’s focus on Obamacare was politically stupid and motivated by idiotic obsession to “undo” the signature achievement of the previous administration. If he bothered to look, he would have found that the ACA failed not because Americans do not want comprehensive state-run health plan, but precisely because Obama chickened out of the much needed market control. Three quarters of Americans want public option, and two-thirds Medicare for all. Trump could have bested Obama had he modified the health care to add public option. He would have crushed the Senate opposition corrupted by the big AMA and Big Pharma lobbies, and taken the wind out of Pelosi’s sails before the 2018 congressional election. (Incidentally, the first state-run health plan saw the light in Germany in 1883, being brought in by the most right-wing government the Kaiser years ever had, that of Bismarck’s Junkers. Yet, Bismarck figured that creating a benevolent health care system (and later Social Security) would weaken the opposition of the Socialists and Catholic Christian Democrats, which it did in a spectacular fashion. The Catholics were crushed; the Socialists went enthusiastically to fight for Kaiser in 1914. Further, one of the early promises by “Trump”, to hike taxes to reduce the Treasury debt, and begin rebuilding the infrastructure, also went AWOL. Instead, Trump reduced the corporate rate, and boosted the military spending at a clip of four times the GDP growth. Stupid, idiotic policy, no doubt Kushner’s & Ivanka’s doing.

      • shotho January 8, 2021 at 1:23 pm #

        This is a sound analysis without any of the histrionics that go on here. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but you would think that Trump would have seen, himself, some of what you’re talking about; too late now, much too late.

        I have to join with shotho in praising this analysis.

        You’re so right, particularly with regard to the healthcare debacle – Trump’s obsession with the efforts to”repeal & replace” the ACA was a loser from the start, and neither the WH nor the GOP could come up with anything like the promised “beautiful plan, at a fraction of the cost” (which would have been impossible anyway). Any reading of the will of the wider populace would have shown that adding the public option to Medicare would have been the smartest possible move. However, Trump is not famous for doing the smart thing – viz. Wednesday.

    The Fog of War is an apt description of what is going on. Ya know, over the last two days my phone has been ringing off of the hook by people asking me “what should I do?” After all, I picked up and moved out of SoCal this year about two weeks before the lockdown to “flatten the curve”. I told anyone that would listen that I thought that these upcoming lockdowns would be forever and would destroy our economy and I also told anyone that would listen that the election would be a Goat Rodeo of epic proportions.

    It breaks my heart to see friends and associates trapped in L.A. The very same people that screeched and howled about Orange Hitler now find themselves in a looted city with the homeless everywhere and no police to be found. All the trendy restaurants and boutiques are now closed forever and even if they wanted to reopen would never be able to afford the insurance which has now increased by 400%.

    They tell me that gunfire is common now and that they are afraid to even set foot outside of their door. Now, imagine how fearful they will be when the caravans flood the border (which will happen) to get the free education, free healthcare and reparations promised by their leadership.

    Was it worth destroying the economy to hurt Trump? Well, these guys I’m talking about didn’t care one bit. They are fairly well off and didn’t think that hurting the “little guy” would in any way ever affect them. Guess again. They turned LA into Tijuana but not as nice.

    Should I move? Where should I go? Are my investments safe? Where can I buy a gun? How should I store water? Should I buy Bitcoin?

    I get these calls all day now from the “resistance” that now realizes that they’ve been thrown under the bus. They were forced to give up everything so that Sleepy Joe (a racist and rapist) can now throw open the border, raise their taxes and lock them down forever. But, hey, $600, right????

        Yes, I’m in Trumplandia now and it is nice ‘n quiet here. Still, l don’t blame the people in California because they are victims of propaganda and terrible leadership.

        I can tell you this: as someone that has worked in media for over two decades, were I to have control over the levers of propaganda, I could make the population believe anything. It is easy to do. Hell, I could make you believe that altering your DNA using an untested and dangerous drug was the best way to fight an illness with a 99.98% survival rate. After all, the public was made to believe that Bruce Jenner was a woman (woman of the year!) because he put a dress on and, voila! he’s now a woman.

          Adding a fake dick or chopping one off does not change what you were born as.

          Proclaiming one day you are not what you were born as is delusional and was once considered a mental illness.
          So is the desire to start hacking otherwise healthy parts off your body.

      Well said. Biden knows the truth about Blacks. He was recently in a conference call with some of them and he told them that America was done, not just because of Black failure, but because Whites were going extinct. And that the needed to get over themselves and learn to work with the Hispanics.

      He probably has more racial clarity than Trump – though of course he doesn’t care about the Truth except when it jibes with his interests.

      I’d laugh in their faces. I lost every LA friend I had when I left, and they called me crazy for criticizing their neoliberal (now fascist) beloved Dem party.

      Then I stupidly moved up to Northern CA in 2015 instead of leaving, thinking it would be better. Nope. So I have exited there, too, in August – and am now in a red state. Better, but we still have our battles.

      But nothing like California! Wow. Yeah. Totally failed state. And since I still work remotely from there, I see coworkers who have turned into zombies still singing Newscum’s praises. They are apparently way behind your panicked pals. They haven’t even seen the writing on the wall yet.

      He managed to get some things done.
      VA is far better to deal with and some prescription drug prices have dropped considerably.

      One in particular is colchicine a medication used to help sufferers of gout.
      Neighbor and I were talking and he told me he used to pay $110 for a bottle of 10 and now pays $22.

      He also made talking about voter fraud front page news that is huge.
      He also did not start yet another armed conflict with some country.

          Nor even at the State level. Where to get good people? Maybe large Church leaders who are used to dealing with lots of money, management and know other countries? Both Protestant and Catholic.

    James Howard: The only important thing, not ever to be obscured by “fog” or media malfeasance, is the orchestrators, enablers ( media platforms), and co conspirators are very well Known to us. Now comes the response. Time will reveal the exact nature it takes and, if done correctly, to by revealed only upon execution. Time to sit tight, observe and plan. The last part of OODA will wait for the appropriate impetus.
    The immediate fiscal future of bailing out renters, mortgages, cities etc..will quickly overwhelm the system. The ability of media to obscure, excuse or explain as to why THIS time is different will fail with even the dullest of the woke gen.

      Hit the taxpayers again with trillions of more debt dollars.

      Eventually the money runs out.

      Raise taxes, forgive student debt (another 2008 bubble), spend trillions on useless GND programs (watch Planets of the Humans again), nationalize healthcare (remember the VA fiasco), spend trillions on useless infrastructure (remember shovel ready).

    4- The Principality of Buttlust
    Originally called San Fransisco. A city of refuge for the sexually confused.
    5- New York

    6- New England

    As I fully expected nothing much of great import happened in Washington this week. Josh Howley’s wife and baby were harassed by thugs, and police said it was no big deal. . The rustics came, cheered the Chief and most of them stayed out of the trouble he dog-whistled to them. A female Trump zealot was shot by trigger-happy Capitol cop. The Ghost was not given up but confirmed as the next POTUS after a short interlude with smashed windows and tear gas. Kamala Harris, the ever-ready utility race baiter said there would have many more cops and a massacre on Capitol Wednesday had the white supremacy terrorists been dark-skinned blm protesters instead. Nancy and Jack are wasting more time drafting impeachment articles. Trump promised an orderly transition from now on. The universe is unfolding as it should.

      @SW

      I noted the same thing myself. The tone and tenor of the remarks by Beijing Biden and Crazy Nancy spoke far more loudly than the actual wording of their remarks. These are people who are utterly driven by their emotions, (like most Libtards), and thus subject to act out and make poor decisions in the heat of the moment. We have a right to fear what they may be capable of doing. These two are not exactly the kind of timber you want to build your national house from.

      I don’t know about others here, but as a young man I learned many good lessons in the School of Hard Knocks. One of the most important ones is that I have *never* made a good decision when I was boiling mad. So, over time, I’ve learned not to try to render important decisions until I have vented all of my angst and calmed the hell down. Then, and only then, in moments of calm and sober deliberation, do I render important decisions. This discipline has served me well. It’s a damn shame most of our politicians do not follow a similar code.

        They could use that piece of advice from you but I doubt they want it. It’s frightening that Pelosi has such an iron grip on the House that she can start the process to ram thru articles of impeachment — again.

        Haven’t the American people been thru enough?! It’s purely self-indulgent, pointless theater but according the evening news, 230 congresspoddles are with her.

      Multiple things happened that day. 10’s (100’s?) of thousands of people marched, peacefully, in the street and only 100 or so broke into the building (mostly peaceful?) There is video of a portion of the crowd booing and chanting “stop antifa” at some people breaking windows. There are pictures and video of known BLM and Antifa agitators in the building. I (we) don’t know how many other anti-Trumpers infiltrated the crowd.

      When something like this happens, you have to ask “Cui Bono?” Who benefits? The violence (I’m certainly not condoning it) started just as the evidence of vote fraud was about to be presented to Congress and the American people. That was halted. The side wishing to present it never got their day in court. So, was this a false flag (like so many others, i.e. Russiagate)? Who benefits?

          Tucker Carlson was right last night when he played this statement by Anderson Cooper then commented that The Establishment hates the Deplorables because this is a class war.

      I didn’t vote for Trump in ’16 or ’20, but I know many who did, not because they believed he could MAGA, but out of desperation, hoping the country could avoid the descent into the yawning abyss.

      I appears they were wrong, the descent is not to be avoided, but that is hardly something to gloat over.

      Trump is most likely a goner, but this is nowhere near the end of the story.

    And your evidence for saying this is…. Bupkas.

    There has been ample time for those thinking they have evidence that the election was fraudulent to post their evidence. So far, the “evidence” I’ve seen seems a bit… thin. Time to put up or shut up, fellas, although I expect you to do neither.

    Having said that, we all have an interest in fair elections, so if there is reason to suspect irregularities, I’m all in favor of pursuing them fully and, if irregularities are found, to prosecute those responsible to the full extent of the law.

    And I also agree that the Democrats have played their part in this charade. The “Russian Collusion” gambit came to nothing, but Rachael Maddow continues to push the story. The Impeachment proceeding that was notably vague on exactly which “high crimes and misdemeanors” were at issue.

            My point was that even if there were some antifa / BLM in the crowd egging them on (dubious to say the least), if “people [are] responsible for their actions” then that should apply to the right wing types arrested, regardless of what these (imaginary) antifa types were doing to encourage them. I was pointing out the internal inconsistency of the arguments here.

      rlread52 – what percent responsibility do you attribute to the courts, including SCOTUS, for failing to hear requests for hearings/evidence? To my knowledge, all cases were dismissed on procedural issues, not merit. The EC challenge was, perhaps, the last chance for the evidence to be heard and matter. The die is cast. Only impeachment of Biden for selling access is still on the table. Will that evidence be allowed to be presented to the American people?

            That took 30 seconds.

            (And before you counter that the merits findings in that case are narrow – that’s because the Trump case put was narrow. In other words, there was so little put that there was little to respond to).

        “To my knowledge, all cases were dismissed on procedural issues, not merit.”

        I keep reading this but it’s just not so. Here’s just one judgment:

        Federal District Judge Brett H. Ludwig, a Trump nominee who took the bench in September, dismissed a lawsuit filed by the president that sought to throw out the election results in Wisconsin, calling the request “extraordinary.”

        “A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote occurred,” he wrote. “This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits.

        Trump asked for the rule of law to be followed, Ludwig noted, adding: “It has been.”

        Aside from this fact, yes, there were many cases that were dismissed on standing (‘procedural issues’), but “STANDING” is the very first thing to be established. How can all these teams of super-lawyers keep getting that basic fact wrong? Hardly awe-inspiring.

    Thanks Jim. This is a very dangerous time in the country. The future of the economy which is heavily oil dependent, will affect how much instability will occur going forward. Our society is based on these complex, interdependent relationships of power groups & institutions. There is little faith in any institution. In fact, economic or political reform appears to be non existent on any serious level. Its largely all become theatrical. We have become a clownish, deranged society, run by a government which decides policy by make believe, and extremist ideologies that denies objective reality. It’s a scary time.

  38. akmofo January 8, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

    The DNC/RINO/Deep State/MSM criminal mafia is run by the CIA, a Vatican front. The Vatican via the Jesuits and their Secret Societies and Secret Agencies has centuries long agenda/program to reverse the Enlightenment movement and to return the world back to Roman feudal oligarchy. That’s what they’ve been doing and that is what is being done and what we are witnessing.

    Progressivism = Satanism = Anti-Bible = Antisemitism = Communism = Socialism = Fascism = Nazism = NWO = Globalism = Imperialist Feudal Oligarchy = Romanism = VATICAN

    It’s a simple equation. I laid it out to you before. But you refuse to see and understand it and seek the truth. You refuse to see recognize and understand your enemy, and that is why you will continue to fall victim to him.

    Many of you are familiar with “Sun Tzu” The Art of War. What you don’t know is that “Sun Tzu” never existed. The text was written by the Jesuits. That’s who you have business with. We all do.

    • Yohannon January 8, 2021 at 12:47 pm #

      In other words, the Chinese have no history whatsoever. They were just prawns waiting for the White Man to make them a pawn in their Anti-Semitic game.

      You value yourself a bit too highly. The Chinese and the Satanists are our main enemies now, not you. So relax or choose a side. You’re not in the middle anymore, except for Anglin whose schtick this is.

      • akmofo January 8, 2021 at 12:57 pm #

        The Chinese people have the same problem we all do. They are living under a foreign occupation of the Communist Party, spawned and sponsored by the Vatican/Jesuits. The ChiComs were given aid and comfort by General George Marshall, the U.S. Secretary of State, at the expense of the Chinese nationalist Chiang Kai-shek. Know your history, Vlad.

        Was/is QAnon of the same opinion?

        Trump hired known Vatican/CFR/Trilaterals/Bilderberg/Skull&Bones agents, including his Chiefs of Staff. They all “betrayed” him and the people, as was perfectly expected. He knew who and what these people were, but he hired them anyway. Why?

        We are witnessing scripted theater, but at least Trump has provided us a glimpse of what’s behind the curtains, and how vast and deep and global the conspiracy truly is.

    Looks like you guys lost. The coup attempt was a larp (Live Action Role Playing) once the capitol building was breached it was just a trophy hunt and selfie session. You don’t have the votes or enough committed warm bodies to hold any real on the ground perception of power.

    You have lost messaging. All the imagery from DC is pretty damning. You guys pissed on the symbolism. Most of the people that entered the capitol will be snagged up by the system and will be made an example of. This is not the same as burning down a Wendys or whatever they do in Portland.

    I guess it time for a new set of conspiracy theories. Stop the steal is done.

    Our Reality TV Star President should have seen this coming. He should have understood that the people descending on Washington were not coming to peacefully chant and hold signs. They were coming to vent their anger on an election process that had all the appearances of being fixed, fraudulent and downright an injustice.

    Were these crowds infiltrated by Antifa and paid actors that were cordially invited into the Capital by the Capital Police to commit destruction and take cherished selfies? He should have seen that coming too.

    Or did Trump read the script of the epic battle in the 9th episode of the series. The script where his adversaries McConnell, Schumer and Pelosi get to wax poetic on the threats to the heart of the republic, to the soul of our very democracy that they were tasked by the American public to protect.

    Talk about Blowback.

    • Yock January 8, 2021 at 10:11 pm #

      Trump just wanted to leave a parting gift to the deep state. The pictures of all of the politicos sprawled out on the capitol floor crapping their pants awaiting the will of the angry mob was priceless. Chris Hedges always said that this is really where we want our government officials; scared sh#tless. They finally had a dose of reality and got to see the end result of crushing the working class for the last 30 years and the inevitable end result.

    Photos taken inside the capitol indicate that the White unarmed female Trump supporter who was shot, was killed by a black police officer. Do you think she’ll get five funerals and a gold coffin? Not likely. If she had been a black BLM rioter, you would be able to measure the height of the NYT headline in inches. On page one of today’s Wall Street Journal, there is an article “CEO’s fire rioters, condem violence” They seem to have been very quick in identifying participants. I don’t recall them expending much effort in ID’ing BLM and Antifa rioters last summer. I think this is part and parcel of JHK’s “Long emergency”. The comming civil war will be an ever deeper swirl around the bowl, before the final flush. More like Syria or Afganistan than Antietam or Gettysburg.

    • scrooge January 8, 2021 at 1:20 pm #

          What got lit on fire?
          What was destroyed down to the ground?
          When asked to leave did they stay for months and build barricades?
          The narrative is very different as is the response.
          Had Trump gatherings destroyed anything before?
          Nope in fact they tended to leave an area cleaner than when it started.

          Is the Trump movement funded by Soros did they drop pallets of bricks everywhere?
          Were they pepper spraying cops and security?
          Some people got swept up in the moment of the Antifa Psyop and will be dealt with.
          Those that do get brought to justice should get some serious community service along with the Felony they will be getting.
          Are these people also going to get bailed out by celebrities…nope.
          Is there a fund set aside by Open society for legal fees…Nope.

          Stop crying about BLM and antifa as both movements are well funded and not out for the best interest of Americans or America.

        • freetrapper January 9, 2021 at 2:27 pm #

          Indeed the sides are treated unequally. How many people would have been shot if this had been an overwhelmingly black crowd? Would any of them have made it into the building?

          I am a sceptic of some of what’s behind BLM, but on the other hand there is no doubt in my mind that if Babbitt were surrounded by black friends, she would have had a lot of company in death, and long before she tried to ape herself into the inner chamber.

    • Wizard of the Saddle January 8, 2021 at 2:46 pm #

      @Jigplate

      I agree with all of these observations. This is the part that gets me. The Left decided in 2016 that they are soooooo butt-hurt over Hillary’s loss that they would throw out the rules book and do whatever it takes, by fair means of foul, to obstruct, resist, and oust the Bad Orange Man and to suppress his supporters.

      As it turns out, this required mostly foul means, including setting up a two-tiered injustice system wherein Leftwing criminals are rarely arrested; always released on a no-cash bail; and never prosecuted. But let a Rightwing person so much as shoot the finger at a cop and he will be clapped in irons; dragged to the nearest prison; denied bail; and prosecuted in a kangaroo court and will be handed a long prison sentence.

      Well, people are not stupid. Do this enough times and they figure out that the game is rigged and that the government that they pay taxes to will no longer protect them unless they hold ideas that the government approved of.

      This is why the incident at the Capitol happened. When you shit on half the people like this, they eventually decide that some payback is in order. I’m not saying I want to see such chaos, but I understand what has driven people to such desperate actions.

      • Yohannon January 8, 2021 at 4:38 pm #

      I’ve watched several videos of the shooting. Coming up the stairs behind the victim were about 5 police with guns raised. The shooter’s angle let him see two people trying to charge up and over a broken window and a bunch of raised weapons but not who was holding them. He must have concluded that heavily armed rioters were coming in. It was an accident.

    Somewhere in the fog above, we saw purported connection “The Society Of Jesuits” with “Sun Tzu” a Chinese General circa AD 540.

    Ignatius de Loyola founded the Jesuits Society circa mid 1500’s AD.

    Can the esteemed Web Master determine there is actually a 1000 year separation between the Chinese Philosopher and the Renaissance era movement? Along with interested seekers of wisdom hereabouts.

      • Yohannon January 8, 2021 at 4:44 pm #

        Go to a bookstore and just peruse the introductions to various editions of Sun Tzu. He lived long ago. And to further douse your silly flame, there is a VAST commentarial tradition on SunTzu’s Art of War. Are all of them Jesuits too? Some of them were famous generals whom we know a lot about and not just obscure scholars or Taoist (Sun Tzu is claimed by the Taoists) hermits.

        While I’ve got you, check out “Unrestricted Warfare” on Amazon (or google it), the Chinese Plan to undermine the United States without firing a shot. Sun Tzu for the 21st century. Israel is down with the program – our bestest ally!

        I think you can download it if you’re interested.

        • akmofo January 8, 2021 at 6:39 pm #

          Communist China is very very bad news, and you know I said so many many times. Israelis are on same wavelength as I. We understand what China is and what it wants. We also know what Communism/Socialism/Nazism/Fascism is very well. We lived and suffered that horror more than most people on Earth. Israel is the America’s best friend and President Trump knows it, even if you don’t. We naturally abhor tyranny. Netanyahu congratulating Biden was a diplomatic necessity, nothing more than that.

            In other words, you now rescind your foolishness about Sun Tzu being a pen name for a Jesuit.

            He didn’t even wait a day or so. He was among the first. And you lead the world in vaccination! My condolences. Of all the posters, you saw it the clearest.

            He has bowed to the Satanists. Not the Vatican, but they now control that as well so it can get confusing to one who never liked Catholics to begin with.

          • akmofo January 8, 2021 at 8:41 pm #

            Yes, Vlad, I understood from day one that the ChiCom/CIA virus was a ploy to destroy small family businesses and take over their market share by globalist mega corporations.

            Sun Tzu is the Black Pope. The Jesuits introduced Sun Tzu to the world. It is it is wholly their creation and their modus operandi.

            And no it’s not about Catholics, but about the Vatican. That rotten Satanic institution needs to pass from this world. Yesterday!

How old are you, to believe in sheer nonsense such as this? To ref the savanna ape’s opus, the Bible, immediately obviates reading beyond that. Re Sun Tzu; the consensus is The Art of War is a composite of several Chinese tacticians works.

          Nice zinger.

          The handle is borrowed from a (now sadly deceased) writer for whom I have a great deal of respect, one Joe Bageant. He was raised in northern Virginia (Winchester) in a large clan of Pentecostal Christian types but escaped in his late teens. So, while he got a long and deep education (rendering him a despised ‘liberal’), he remained a ‘redneck’ in all other respects.

          If you’d like to read some truly eloquent writing on modern politics (that certainly rivals JHK at his best) then try this opening para:

          Drink, Pray, Fight, Fuck
          January 26, 2005- How the Scots Irish Screwed Up America

          By Joe Bageant

          You may not meet them among your circle of friends, but there are millions of Americans who fiercely believe we should nuke North Korea and Iran, seize the Middle East’s oil, and replace the U.S. Constitution with the Christian Bible. They believe the United States will conquer the entire world and convert it to our notions of democracy and fundamentalist Christian religion. And that will happen says my Christian neo-conservative friend Dave Henderson, “when we elect a man with the balls to use our nukes.” You may not believe me, and if you don’t I cannot blame you for never having been exposed to such folks. Only an idiot or a masochistic observer of the American scene would subject himself or herself to these Americans. I like to think I am the latter, but the jury is still out.

    Like everyone else here, I’ve been digesting all that has transpired in this past week and reflecting on the past 4 years, and I am left deeply depressed by my conclusions which are as follows:

    1) Both of our political parties are morally bankrupt and don’t give a damn about this country or the people who inhabit it. Almost without exception, the people who populate the elected offices of our state and federal governments are narcissistic scum who care only about themselves and everyone knows it.

    2) The United States government is financially bankrupt. It is only a matter of time before all of the Ponzi schemes of Wall Street, the Fed, and the BitCoin shysters collapse, leaving all of us to scramble for meager resources in the smoking ruins of the economy that will remain. The Dollar, of course, is doomed. Hyperinflation is just a matter of time and the savings of everyone will be destroyed unless you have had the foresight to stash away a little gold an silver buried in your backyard.

    3) This country is already in a de facto “civil war.” The origins can be traced all the way back to 1865 when the last one ended, but the current conflict really got underway in a serious way after Trump won the election of 2016. That is when the Democrats, academia, Hollywood, Wall Street, the mainstream media, disgruntled RINOS, the Bush crime family, the Clinton crime family, the military-industrial complex, and pretty much everyone else who profits from the “established” corrupt system, decided to flush our Constitution down the commode and stop at nothing – and I mean nothing – to deny Trump and his nationalist/populist movement, the opportunity to drain the swamp and restore the political, social, and economic greatness that this country used to enjoy, once upon a time.

    4) There really are “Two America’s” with utterly irreconcilable worldviews and this new civil war will not end until one side is completely triumphant and the other is utterly crushed. Sorry, but there will be no Great Compromise nor a truce. It’s been “game on” now for 5 years and counting and things are getting worse by the minute.

    Just in the past week alone we have had Congressmen almost coming to blows on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives; an invasion of the Capitol Building by frustrated MAGA patriots fed up with the fraud, corruption, and lack of institutional response to correct any of it; and a planeload of people yelling and screaming at each other about the fraudulent election; etc., etc. Just GOOGLE, and you’ll find examples of this type of unprecedented unrest chronicled all over America.

    Things are rapidly getting worse with each passing day and each fresh new outrage simply escalates things further. It feels like events are beginning to spiral out of control during the “Dark Winter” of 2020-21. (Just as happened during the Secession Winter of 1860-61.

    I will stop here, as this post is already getting too long, but needless to say, 2021 is shaping up to be another sorrowful year.

      Bravo for your Greek Clarity. They were heroes, each and every one of them. That’s OUR Narrative. The Left has been making war on us for years, ever increasing in intensity. There’s no denying it now but that doesn’t stop the normies from trying. Sean Hannity devoted the entire January 6th segment to badge sucking and capital security. Wtf? As if the Steal never happened. As if the Establishment aren’t the criminals. As if we’re supposed to play nice with the criminals.

    “Who, exactly, invaded the Capitol building on Wednesday when that mass of Trump supporters swarmed up the hallowed hill?”

    You can be sure that all their checks are either on the way or already safely deposited in their bank accounts. There was nothing organic or unexpected about this staged performance. Everyone played their role perfectly. The Right People got all the optics They wanted. The Corporate Media all foamed with teleprompter-driven righteous outrage and indignation and finger-wagging at all those nasty “traitorous” people that “trashed” the “hallowed, sacred ground” of a place of routine governmental sacrilege and malfeasance. Sorry, drama queens. There is little that is sacred or holy about a place where everyone who works there is bought-and-paid for and very well compensated by the deep-pocketed money interests that routinely leave their money on our “representatives” beds. Sort of like common street walkers who preach to you about morals and ethics as they do their deed. Rings a bit hollow and comical.

    “For the moment all is fog and noise.”

    This sentence describes much more than the sorry state of American governmental affairs. This fully describes the entire age in which we are living. Everything is shrouded in fog. Misty. Murky. Dark. Most people are walking around in a fog with their face diapers wokely positioned to proclaim their status in good standing in the Covid Cult of Wokedom.

    We have many years of dense fog ahead of us. People and institutions stumbling around in the dark while proclaiming all is well and we’re all in this together. Well, regardless of how many times they sing this garbage from their same hymn book… all is NOT well and we are most certainly NOT all in “This” together.

        My sympathies are with your South African friend. There is a lesson in all of this. Retreat to another country is a bad option. If the Left can dispossess you of one country, they can dispossess you of another. Running from country to country won’t work – especially if you are an American. We are pretty much to the Right of every other country on the planet. So if you hate our domestic Libtards, wait until you get a load of the ones running places like Australia, New Zealand, most Euro countries, etc.

        Like it or not, we are backed into a corner. Like Josey Wales once famously said, it’s time to get “mad dog mean.” The alternative is losing and possibly death.

      My parents are Cuban exiles. I have seen this coming for years. I work with over-educated Democrats and they don’t get it. I’ve never understood how they don’t see that the modern democrat party is Marxist. They all deny it and think I’m crazy. They say I’m blinded by emotion. We (Cubans) know how they operate. Unfortunately, it seems they always win. This is religion to them. I’m emotionally drained and we have no place left to escape to.

  57. Tate January 8, 2021 at 3:19 pm #

    James, I hope you’re right about our President’s intentions, & that the ‘Golden Golem of Greatness’ is up to the task, but I fear he has the golem’s feet of clay. To do what actually needs to be done is almost beyond comprehension. In any event, we’ll all know soon enough whether he takes action to prevent the Pretender’s ascension.

    This country has passed by stages over our lifetimes (we’re about the same age) from what could arguably be called a sober Republic into something else never before seen in history but which can only be described as monstrous. The old American republic cannot be restored because it depends on a virtuous & God-fearing people for its health. We cannot conjure up that old America from the motley, destructive, identity-obsessed mob of hysterical women, children, fools, imported rabble, scapegraces, scoundrels & defectives that now so profusely dot the landscape.

    The only thing for it is the hard, mailed fist of the despot. The tiger doesn’t change his stripes, so Trump will continue to be Trump, & if he momentarily dons the Tiger’s stripes, they will ill-suit him for long. He still has his dim bulb daughter & son-in-law whispering sweet idiocies in his ear. Revolutionary history occurs by stages & by the alchemy of one mental transformation at a time. But the more insulated each mind is, the slower the process. The last to understand the necessity of a sudden clean break with the past will be those most insulated from the fray, the protected classes that swarm the coastal enclaves & the imperial swamp. Among that class, those who do intuit the necessity will be ruthless opportunists for whom Trump will be the inchoate template.

    But this is just idle speculation on the future. For now, if Trump does take decisive action to stay in power, his next moves must condemn thousands, even tens of thousands, to stand in the docket. The first to answer — Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, Harris, Schiff, Abrams, Comey, Brennan, the Clintons, Obama & others among not only the political element but also within the plutocratic ranks, & punditry classes too numerous to name — these first notorious few would have to become faint ghosts of memory before the last of the seditionists were truly purged.

    It just can’t happen, the nodes of resistance being too numerous, too resistant. Having overwhelmed all of its natural defenses over the seventy decades of Boomer hegemony, while mimicking by stages just enough of the signs of health to defuse suspicion, the American “body politic” is suffering the shock of a sudden diagnosis of stage IV metastatic cancer. Frankly, coming up on my expiration date, I’d just as soon sit back & continue to watch the madness gradually unfold far away from me instead of uncomfortably up close & personal. Only time will tell, but at least we’re at an inflection point in this great drama.

    • tucsonspur January 8, 2021 at 3:51 pm #

      Well done.

      You’re right, it just can’t happen. Trump has nothing left and will take no decisive action. If he did, the decisive action would be to have him jailed.

  58. Sean Coleman January 8, 2021 at 3:36 pm #

    Matthew Raphael Johnson mentioned this in his latest podcast:

    Start of quote

    May 2, 1967: Two dozen armed Negroes entered the state Capitol at noon today and 10 made their way to the back of the Assembly Chamber before they were disarmed and marched away by the state police.

    The Assembly was in session at the time and Speaker Pro Tem Carlos Bee ordered the men removed from the chamber.

    Outside the chamber, the police took away the weapons. The men argued they could carry the weapons as long as they were not concealed.

    Apparently the fact the weapons were not concealed was the reason the men were able to get as far as the Assembly Chamber before they were disarmed.

    After the state police questioned the men, they returned the weapons to them because the intruders had broken no law.

    Following their release by the state police, the men left the Capitol and rejoined some companions who remained outside during the incident. They then drove off.

    Four or five carloads of the Black Panther group later drove into a service station at 15th and L Streets. Several police officers took the demonstrators to the city jail.

    An officer said they had not been charged with any offense, but added: “We’re going to take them all down and check them all out and we’re going to check out all these weapons.”

    Outside of the police office … one man who identified himself as Bobby Seale of Oakland read a page-long statement of the Black Panther Party. It declared: “The Black Panther party for self-defense calls upon the American people in general and the black people in particular to take careful note of the racist California Legislature which is considering legislation aimed at keeping the black people disarmed and powerless at the very same time that racist police agencies throughout the country are intensifying the terror, brutality, murder and repression of black people.”

    He apparently was referring to a bill by Assemblyman Don Mulford, R-Piedmont, which forbids carrying a loaded weapon within an incorporated area.

        Watched several videos of the shooting and believe it was an accident. The shooter’s angle had him seeing someone charging the door and a bunch of guns held aloft. He could not see that the guns were held by the 5 or so cops who were right behind Babbitt, one of whom was at that moment pulling her off the door. He must have concluded that heavily armed rioters had arrived.

          The book will be kryptonite to the Simon Schusters of publishing but will be picked up by Trojan Horse or some outfit and it will be a bestseller. Not on Amazon or in The New York Times, but it will be an underground phenomenon just before the 2022 midterms.

    Declan Leary who was out among them wrote on another site the money quote concerning the “riots”.

    “Their fury is aimed at a system they feel failed them—or worse, worked exactly as intended. Impeach Trump, indict rioters—that anger is not going away. What’s happening on the Capitol steps, with tens of thousands gathered, feels dangerously close to a legitimacy crisis.”

    And the MSM and cohorts know it and will do their best to bury it. They already are in the process.

    We have in general three avenues of thought: those who believe the Dems are less bad than the Pubs, those that believe the Pubs are less bad than the Dems and those that believe both parties are corrupted beyond repair.

    That both parties have willingly participated in the creation of systemic corruption and have neither the desire nor intent to change it. Those like JHK and Leary are correct; this isn’t the end of anything, hang on Sloopy.

        The legitimacy crisis concerns less Trump than the fact that the “people” are fed up with wars of choice, the national security state, the MIC, Wall Street corporate cronyism and a bought and paid for government apparatus.

        Trump exposed it, willingly or not. Competent or not. He was the right message, wrong person no doubt. But what he has unleashed will likely prosper more by the fact that he’s gone. Even some who despise Trump see the underlying, bipartisan corruptions in the Imperial City on the Potomac.

    “Did congress knowingly certify a fraudulent election? That will be a tantalizing question in the days ahead.”

    It’s a good question, and I expect the answer is yes – sort of.

    Firstly, Congress doesn’t really certify the election – it counts the electoral envelopes that come in from the states. There were a couple of theatrical objections (Arizona, Pennsylvania), but more Republicans voted against them than for them.

    No objection in history has ever been successful – and that is as it should be – otherwise one party controlling both houses could simply overturn state electoral slates for the opposition it didn’t like.

    I don’t buy into the wilder theories that the presidential election was stolen by a masterful plan in 6-8 swing states, using sophisticated software tricks involving Barcelona, Frankfurt, and Rome.

    And nor were there thousands of fraudulent ballots injected into the system in the dead of night, when the software fix proved insufficient.

    I don’t believe these for main three reasons:

    1. Nobody has proven anything in a court
    2. The Democratic Party *any party) isn’t smart enough
    3. For months polls showed a significant Biden lead in these states

    If there was any compelling evidence, it really had to be paraded well before January 6 – indeed before December 14.

    Having said all that, I think there was – and remains – a very very strong political bias against Donald Trump … many people – even including a lot of Republicans and neutrals – desperately wanted him to lose the election, because they dislike him intensely as a human being, and wanted to see him finally face a loss.

    Something like that. Not political, but personal.

    So while there were no cases anywhere where officials and workers bent over backwards to save one extra vote for Trump, there were plenty of places where probable Biden votes were treated generously – checking of signatures, proper envelopes, and so on.

    Even the courts went along with it I feel. In a number of the 60 cases that barely got to first base, it was at least slightly possible that some of them could have been ruled the other way. But no-one was going to die in a ditch for Donald Trump.

    One should also add that Trump had one of the worst legal teams imaginable. It was like the Addams Family.

      Neither do I. What Republicans have to accept is that the Democratic tactics worked, they made Trump the bad guy for four years. When you add in his egotistical, maybe somewhat paranoid blunder on the virus, that was all they needed.

      Tax cuts most favorable for the rich. Lousy on the environment. Firing non sycophants. Tumult, turmoil, fog, angst. The Democrats built a wall, and shut him out good.

        Trump quite probably was cheated electronically. As to courts laughing Trump out of the courts, what court in the nation is going to even look at evidence that belies the fiction that elections are or ever have been fair. Hayes-Tilden anyone? Nixon-JFK?

        Frank Zappa has a great line about ‘maintaining the fiction.’ That’s SOP in government. The courts mostly function to shield the establishment from the plebs, populist fervor left or right, and a place for the big boys to sue one another. (I say, let’s bring back dueling)

    • Yohannon January 8, 2021 at 5:19 pm #

      Nobody has proven it in court – thus you reveal yourself as a knave. No court would hear it.

      The Democrats aren’t smart enough? But the people behind them are.

      The polls? That’s just more of the same corrupt system. Other more reputable polls found things much more even or for Trump. The same pollsters you cite had Trump losing by a landslide in 2016.

      Your grade is F.

      • Tekapo January 8, 2021 at 6:45 pm #

        “Your grade is F.”

        LOL. That would be F for frank and factual. And I win a dollar – I bet myself I would hear the three refrains that you list – they have been said a thousand times, but very few people are persuaded it seems.

        The courts gave Team Trump every chance to submit evidence, but mostly they got arm-waving coulda-shoulda-woulda assertions and wild claims. The law is tough – and the Addams Family were simply way out of their league.

        The master plots to steal the election would have required hundreds of willing participants – from low-level volunteers up to and including senior state Republican officials. It’s simply not plausible in my view.

        Other than just assert it, can you demonstrate how the pollsters were in the pocket of anti-Trump forces? That’s the trouble with such claims – very easy to say, but harder to back up.

        The average of polls is what matters – and none showed a Trump win for weeks and weeks prior to 3 November. Joe Biden in fact did not do quite as well as the polls predicted.

        Anyway – it’s all moot now – Biden is President. Will be interesting to watch to see whether Trump fades away and plays more golf. I expect the Capitol riots are a disaster for him really.

          “the three refrains that you list – they have been said a thousand times.” –Tekapo

          Yet you haven’t dealt with them, just like State legislators, the Supreme Court, the MSM, or (HAHA!) the DNC (quelle surprise!)

          “but very few people are persuaded it seems.” –Tekapo

          This is the logical fallacy of the appeal to the majority. I guess Galileo was wrong, too. Also, total nonsense. Almost half the total voters believed the fix was in, increasing to where it’s roughly now 50%. And this includes a left-wing poll validated by rabidly-left VOX.

          “mostly they got arm-waving coulda-shoulda-woulda assertions and wild claims.” –Tekapo

          This is just another empty assertion. If you don’t explore the evidence put forward, of course there’s no proof. Nice Catch-22 op the globalist machine has going.

          “The law is tough – and the Addams Family were simply way out of their league.” –Tekapo

          Name calling. More non sequiturs and empty content.

          “The master plots to steal the election would have required hundreds of willing participants – from low-level volunteers up to and including senior state Republican officials.” –Tekapo

          Wrong. It would’ve required THOUSANDS of willing participants, as it did. Also, others were just told to shut their mouths and stuff those suckers into the machine and tick boxes for the Hologram. We’ve already seen doxxing and intimidation and firings of those brave voting workers who came forward to reveal the steal, under affidavits. Scaring the shit out of people with the promise of permanent hounding and ostracization works. Who knew?

          “Other than just assert it, can you demonstrate how the pollsters were in the pocket of anti-Trump forces? That’s the trouble with such claims – very easy to say, but harder to back up..” –Tekapo

          “Where’s the evidence,” 23976.0.

          “The average of polls is what matters.”

          Almost all the polling companies are deeply in the pocket of the DNC. But to know that, you’d have to do some unbiased digging. Richard Baris would be a good place for you to start, although there’re a few other neutral pollsters as well.

          BTW, the average of anything is bullshit. Much more important, more foundational, is the authority of each source. I was gonna say to see my Galileo reference above again, but back then, modern science was in its infancy, and people, justifiably, believed their lyin’ eyes when saw the sun sailing across the sky. Numbers, data, the organizational links, the video, the illegal changing of rules both before (GA, & other States) and after (PA), and on and on.

          We’re not in the Dark Ages any longer, no matter the claims of a Dark Winter by CCP Joe.

          “Joe Biden in fact did not do quite as well as the polls predicted.” –Tekapo

          Finally we’re in agreement! Biden got trounced.

    Yes, Trump lost and he probably lost 5-10 million votes because of his handling of the virus. Eight months of dizzying, uncaring nonchalance regarding a deadly virus, right before the most critical election in our history.

    Some minor fraud, and all other allegations just keep the blogs rolling. The Kung Flu killed Trump.

    Equal treatment: plenty of posters have drawn a comparative line between summer’s left-wing protests & riots and the events of Wednesday. We’re the Trumpians treated differently because they weren’t black/brown & ‘left’? Apparently, yes.

    ’ The disparity in treatment of yesterday’s rioters and Black Lives Matter protesters reflects the reality that authorities treat protesters differently according to their perceived political identification. FiveThirtyEight’s Maggie Koerth interviewed Roudabeh Kishi, whose research team tracked police violence in the U.S. from May 1 to November 28, 2020, and Koerth writes that authorities were “more than twice as likely to attempt to break up and disperse a left-wing protest than a right-wing one.” When they did intervene, they used force 51% of the time for the left and only 34% of the time for the right.

    Arizona State University Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice Ed Maguire told Koerth: “I think protesters on the right, because they view the police as in their corner, they feel a sense of tacit permission.”

      Voter fraud by the Uniparty.

    • Yohannon January 8, 2021 at 5:26 pm #

      The machines can actually change votes from one candidate to another. They may have lost Trump votes, etc. Many forms of cheating exist and many were used. A huge tangle and that can never be untangled. By design.

      And remember, the 2016 vote was close. We don’t claim that it wasn’t, and won’t unless evidence comes to light.

      • Tekapo January 8, 2021 at 10:14 pm #

        Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election by the same margin as Joe Biden won it this time. Why was it possible for Clinton to concede quickly and with honour, while Donald Trump still refuses to do so?

        I don’t have a strong partisan view at all – what concerns me is that in a democracy you have to accept that you lose some and you win some, and it only operates if all stakeholders follow the rules and traditions.

        Personally I think this election was close only because – let’s face it – Joe Biden was a very ordinary candidate. He might well prove to be a very good president, but he certainly didn’t set the electorate on fire during the campaign.

        But he did enough to flip back the Midwest states that Clinton “unexpectedly” lost, and also jagged Georgia and Arizona. And Donald Trump did a lot to alienate the centre 10-20%.

        In my view he spent far too much time and energy just preaching to the choir, and not enough broadening his appeal.

        But I concede that if you firmly believe Trump’s months-long claim that he could only lose the election if it was rigged against him, rather than the election being a referendum on his first term, then there is no reasonable basis for discussion.

        • Night Owl January 9, 2021 at 8:38 am #

          He has not conceded due to massive vote fraud.

This statement proves that there is no reasonable basis for discussion with the likes of you.

    So that’s why no Court would even look at the evidence? Thousands of pages of it? Because there’s nothing there? Al contraire, they know that there is even if you don’t. That’s why they wouldn’t look.

      what did abrams sister rule on again?

      • tucsonspur January 8, 2021 at 7:43 pm #

        ‘A judge in Georgia ruled on Monday that two of the state’s counties cannot invalidate voting registrations based on unverified change of address data.

        “Defendants are enjoined from removing any challenged voters in Ben Hill and Muscogee Counties from the registration lists on the basis of National Change of Address data,” U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner wrote in an order, according to Reuters.

        Abrams Gardner is the sister of former Democratic candidate for governor and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams.

        The two counties had sought to purge thousands of voters from the rolls based on what local election officials called unreliable change of address data. The vast majority of them included 4,000 in Muscogee County, which President-elect Joe Biden won by a large amount in November, and another 150 in Ben Hill County.’

          I have personal knowledge of the situation in Ben Hill county. Of people who move there in the months preceding the election who are now gone. Packed up and left their rentals immediately after the election. I’m sure it happened elsewhere around the state. everyone’s mind is made up about what happened with election fraud.

    The resurgence of the Democrats puts the lid on the troubles in black America for at least another four years. Performing non contractual lip service to black voters when out of power, and then largely ignoring them when they are in power, is something the Democrats do best.
    Which is tragic. But the Democrats serve multinational corporations and the deep State, and those forces have zero relationships with blacks, other then foot soldiers in the army, or working in fast food restaurants.

    George Washington abhorred alcohol, but he eventually recognized its usefulness for soldier recruitment and retention. I think that Prostitution had the same effect?

    From Twitter:

    “In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.

    “However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.”

    That is the most ridiculous shit I’ve heard in a long time. We are supposed to be dumb enough to believe there is any veracity to that statement…

      Well, I’m sure JHK heard a lot of stuff about the riots but what did he write in his blog? Only stuff he heard that he’d like to believe is true. I’m sure he also heard that Ashli Babbit, a Trump supporter, was at the front of the crowd trying to climb through a broken window and got shot. Perhaps JHK could comment on the likelihood that that is true? However, he blogs as if unverified rumours are true when most are highly unlikely to be true, as of the chance of Trump’s actually winning the election.

      Though not eligible to vote in 2016, I was quite glad that Trump got in (the alternative seemed to be pretty bad) and at least I thought that the following 4 years would be interesting. I didn’t realise, at the time, that Trump was a serial liar (though his promise to build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it seemed far fetched) and that he was at least as corrupt as most politicians. I’m glad he will be gone in, at most, 10 days, even though Biden will almost certainly prove fairly ineffective but probably less dangerous.

    My Theory is that Trump is just another politician grifter emotionally pumping up the desperate suckers in order to fleece them, but who knows?

    Trump used to be in the casino business. He had a casino in Atlantic City called the “Taj Mahal”. The casino business model is based on getting gamblers addicted and then getting the gambler to “Double Down” until he/she loses everything. Very sick…. So, Trump may run again in 2024, which will make the Oligarchs ecstatic?

      Remember that next time to deal with a Commie troll. Remember this violence they visited on us, and remember to pay them back in kind. Eliminate them from your life, because that’s their plan for you.

      The numbers are on our side and we need to use those numbers to start a campaign to economically bankrupt these Commie fsckers, starting with Apple Google Facebook Nike and anybody else that does any business with China.

      • Redneck Liberal January 11, 2021 at 1:11 am #

        Clutching your pearls just a bit, aren’t you? There’s absolutely nothing to stop Parler posting its app on its own website. FFS. Cry me a river!

    • Lawrence Mint January 9, 2021 at 12:28 am #

      Reverse the charges is a prescient thought. Now that Trump’s war chest has been fattened up by his legal fund grift, the families of the people who died at the capital will hire some good lawyers and go for the gold. Since Mike Pence (Trump world’s newly designated traitor) will no longer be interested in pardoning him, and apparently he can’t pardon himself, he is a sitting duck for massive liability lawsuits. I actually expect him to try to move the money overseas as quickly as possible and taking a flight out pretty soon. It’s over except for dividing up the spoils.

      I’m 67 and have voted in every election in New Zealand. I despaired every time neoliberal, make- the- rich, richer, politicians won. They kept winning because of gerrymandering and a first past the post election system. They brought untold misery to working people while they cheated. But, I swallowed hard and waited, and eventually we were able to vote for a fairer electoral system called MMP. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system_of_New_Zealand.
      The point I am making is, don’t despair, get involved and vote. And yes I realise New Zealand has a different history to the US, so what? Can’t we learn from history, from each other?
      Anyway, I’m not a gifted writer or debater, I’ve read this blog for a while, but I just want people to live, in peace, and I feel for you.

      • Mike Roberts January 9, 2021 at 4:13 am #

        Yes, one would like to think that other countries could learn from those with better electoral systems. Even the US constitution is not written in stone (it has 27 amendments) so there could be changes to the electoral system. However, the presidential election is not strictly party based so I don’t yet see how proportional representation can play a part unless it is to elect officers of government. Certainly, congress could move to proportional representation but perhaps the first change could be to figure out a system where each person’s vote has exactly the same weight in elections, no matter where they live in the US.

    TS

    You say own up to what happened or the GOP will never win again.

    Pardner, it is too late. The GOP is toast. A legitimate third party better show up based on Trump’s populism or the Deep State will be controlled by one party. Once a traitor, always a traitor, and the GOP is full of them. Now, we care seeing the cowardice of another large group of GOPers.

    You are about to witness the takeover of a country.

    Twitter et al taking over public communication.

    CNN trying to destroy Fox. Actually Fox has done a pretty good job of destroying itself.

    The Dem old guard in DC trying to put the finishing touches on Trump. This one is so obvious to me. They are sending a message to the American people, do not ever vote against us again. The GOP are joining in, the Deep State is one party now. If you send us another interloper like Trump, we will destroy him/her too. We are the power now.

    Half of this country cannot stand the other half. Biden is a phony. He says he wants to have unity, then gives totally divisive speeches. The GOP traitors back him up.

    Uniparty forever.

          On a side note it was one man who did not know all the dirty tricks and a bunch of lying fucks that back stabbed him at every turn.
          I believe Trump really wanted to effect reasonable and common sense changes.
          The one other thing of serious note he did was to make it far easier to get rid of dead weight lackluster Government workers.
          Now if we could but apply that same law onto Congress and the senate.

          I would be willing to roll the dice at this point and Fire them all.
          Start completely fresh with reasonable checks on voter ID and registration ensuring one vote per registered and confirmed citizen voter.
          The other factor in this is not allowing the dismissal of other registered political parties on the ballot like communist California.

      Well, those pesky 73 people will drift off into their own special interests. Evangelicals and Catholics have the supreme court of their dreams, and the Catholic Church is actually very socialist and environmentally conscious. Educated conservatives in the north got their tax cuts and were not exactly thrilled to see a confederate flag paraded through the capital in the MAGA riot. So, that pretty much narrows the core of the Trump Republican party to the Deplorables. Not a strong basis for a viable political party. If you pay attention to Wall Street, you will notice that they have shrugged off Trump’s tantrum this week. Lisa Murkowski probably best represents the future of the Reformed Republican party. I think there will be a place for a fiscally conservative party, and I hope there will be one, but many of the 73 Million are going to be doing a lot of soul-searching over the next couple of years.

      • tucsonspur January 9, 2021 at 1:06 am #

      • SoftStarLight January 9, 2021 at 5:08 am #

        Lisa Murkowski supports sending billions of dollars to foreign countries, shipping American jobs and manufacturing to foreign countries, and among other things she supports increasing immigration, the funding of sanctuary cities, and the destruction of pristine wildlife habitat for short term profits. Not to mention she is a backstabber and endorses electoral fraud and censorship of political dissent. She is the epitome of everything that is reprehensible in the GOP.

    Americans.
    One side wanting evidence of fraud and another trying to provide it.

    One side saying the protesters did horrible things and the other side denying it.

    There is at times no “evidence”. None needed to “know” what happened.

    And why try to deny protest ending up as all protests end up?

    When we protested Mahathir, there were incidents. By excited protesters and of course plainclothes policemen.

    What happens in a protest, we don’t deny; We don’t encourage.

    If there is no reason to protest, why people gather risking their lives and livelihood?

    Why you people deny and grovel I can never understand.

    • Yohannon January 9, 2021 at 12:48 pm #

      Well said, chola. Why does the Right keep apologizing for its very existence? We could learn much from the Left: They NEVER turn on their own like this. And “no enemies to the Left” has been the mantra of the Democratic Party for generations.

      Thus the Republican Party is not “Right”. It is Globalist and International just like the Democrats. Heads and tails of the same coin.

      The Media holds Whites to an inhuman standard and the boobs accept it – or rather their talking heads do, showing them as the traitors they are.

      The People who crossed America to be at that rally are finer people than anybody in media and almost anyone in the House and Senate. They work for the People and the People came to look in on their employees.

They are peaceful for now, but not much longer. They have been vilified, marginalized and insulted for years, they had their votes stolen in broad daylight, no court would listen, they are censored on the internet and their representatives would not stand up. At what point must they use force if they are to do their duty as laid out in the Declaration?

      I am talking about this very comment section. Why apologise?

      Whether you are left or right, a million men protest will have some unruly elements and agent provocateurs.

      The organisers definitely want to minimize it so people won’t be afraid to attend.

      But apologizing just makes you a sucker.

      Anyway estimate was 200k to 2mn. Hard to put that paste back in the tube.

      “It seems that the ‘Donald Trump will be your President’ (from 20 Jan 2021) brigade is almost ready to start thinking about considering the possibility that, just maybe…Trump gave in to the MSM, the RINO!”

      Even though I am non-partisan in this stoush, it seems to me that Biden’s inauguration on 01/20/21 has been inevitable since all states bar Wisconsin met the safe-harbor certification deadline on December 8.

      Nothing of substance has occurred since that date to change such a view – the election was lost, and 50 states said so conclusively.

      Whether Donald Trump goes quietly is another matter. And as I have said previously, I think Impeachment and 25th Amend. ploys are not wise and not necessary.

      The Dems have to think through what works best for Nov 2022 – but I’m not sure they’re very smart … their brains trust is far too old, for a start.

        And I would say voters have figured out there is NO difference between the Democrats and Republicans. We are being served by a “One Party Oligarch System”

        That one party oligarch system is comprised of the Democrats + Republicans + Deep State.

        We have two options:

        1) Vote for a third party which I don’t see the one party oligarch system allowing the threat to their power.

        2) Let the USSA collapse, breakup like the former Soviet Union and rebuild it into something a lot smaller.

        I’m hedging my bets with all the firepower Americans have that it could be option #2.

    Meh.. Many Boomies seem to be very worked up about the who’s who and blaming Antifa for this and that and all this apocalypse narrative. Sorry but ya’ll remind me of the Blue Boomies who were trying to convince everybody that mobs of White Nationalist Trump supporters in blackface were rioting for George Floyd. You are being subliminally programmed to see all dissent from the prescribed central narrative as being a nebulous dehumanized riot mob that can be Communist or Fascist depending on the time of day. In other words, its time to get real. Their goal is simply to destroy the credibility, unity, and viability of any dissent and prevent the actual airing of greviances or examination of any of the innerworkings of the so called government. It is truly disappointing that this dynamic is ignored. Canceling people, denying them due process, mocking them (at best) day and night, year after year and what do you expect? This isn’t going to be a moderate fence sitting type of time going forward IMO.

  92. SoftStarLight January 9, 2021 at 4:56 am #

    Remember last summer when the Leftists were lecturing us that riots and rowdy demonstrations were a vital component of the democratic process. Remember the mayor of Baltimore who said protestors needed space to destroy? So the continual focus on what happened at the Capitol is nothing more than a vehicle the oligarchs are using to implement more crackdowns on free expression and thought. But what really was the Boston Tea Party if not a riot?

    So it should not surprise you that Trump’s approval ratings went up after the mainly peaceful protests in DC this week.

    At any rate, in 1954 a gang of Puerto Rican terrorists got into Congressional Chambers when Congress was in session, and sprayed around machine gun fire. 5 or 6 people were hit, I can’t remember exactly without looking it up. No problemo. President Jimmy Carter pardoned these ‘Freedom Fighters’ in 1978, and they were given a tickertape parade in San Juan, hailed as returning heroes.

    I believe it was Obama who pardoned another group of Freedom Fighters who tried to assassinate Truman in DC in 1952.

    Left wing riots all year promoted by the Dem party and cheered on by CNN. It’s not until Whitey has a riot when it becomes something to worry about, LoL.

      He might even go to jail if he doesn’t pardon himself. How’s that for a turn of events? He repeatedly said about Hillary, “lock her up”. Now she might be the one to laugh in his face when she visits him in jail.

      That’s what happens when you FUCK with the Deep State ! They get mad and eventually they get even.

    The map is not the territory. We, denizens of the 21st century, exist in a thick soup of information – the map. But the territory is terra incognita. Finding bits of accurate, actionable, useful information is like looking for needles in a haystack.

    TV, I don’t have one. Internet, I use very little. But for many years I’ve been fishing out the print edition of the WSJ from a certain recycle bin. Newspapers is the one form of media I can navigate to a degree.

    The WSJ is the one major legacy newspaper, along w the much lower quality NYPost, that hasn’t completely surrendered to the prevailing winds. Of course it has an agenda. It’s always useful to be aware of the agenda of the medium when digesting their version of the map. But it has been relatively free of TDS, in fact celebrating some of his moves. It has featured many columnists of heavy intellectual caliber taking a stand against woke culture, academic madness and race blackmailing.

    One of them, HW Jenkins (1.6.21): “Mr Trump plays checkers. The game is chess. His slim loss in the electoral college should rankle because it shows how different the outcome might have been if he had done a few things differently – including listening to advice”

    Ann Coulter: “Trump could have been a massively popular president and won reelection comfortably, if only he’d kept faith with his voters. Even people who abhorred him would have had to say, I thought he was a coarse vulgarian, but he was right about China ripping us off, he was right about the border, and he was right about standing up to crazy woke culture.”

    Many of the posters here, Trump voters like myself, are as well aware of the man’s faults as the 2 writers quoted. One poster said, months ago, that “TDS cuts both ways”. Right. You cannot describe the guy in semi-divine terms. Enlightened One, Dear Leader, etc, can hardly apply to what in essence is another rich asshole, a serial betrayer and narcissist, a political and intellectual lightweight that in the end only listened to his children and J Kushner, an upper class twit if there ever was one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGxSM5y7Pfs).

    Getting rid of Bannon to listen to this cretin… there’s mistakes you never come back from. He paid for it, and we paid for it. Fraud or no fraud.

    There’s many like me: done with D & R’s, done w DJT, needing new leaders but without much faith one will emerge, so… more focused than ever in carving independence, decoupling from the map and getting to know the territory, and preparing to resist in any way we can.

    Resist what?

    Back to the WSJ. Most interesting needles you’ll find in that haystack? Some of the biggest advertisers are artificial intelligence and robotics companies. Including an up-and-coming outfit that sells robocops. So this is how the Defund the Police / BLM madness unfolds: massive surveillance and robots ruling us.

      You seem to think Trump just waltzed in alone.

      Another american myth of individuality maybe.

      Politics is war for power. Think about it.

      Only problem with Trump is, he likes a good drama. That is why people are still hoping. That maybe he will bring the cavalry just when the defenders are out of ammo.

    More of Coulter. She’s on fire these days. Much clarity:

    “The 2020 election should have been like Ronald Reagan’s 1984 reelection (49-state landslide). Like Trump, Reagan ran on popular issues left on the ground by other candidates—primarily his vow to destroy the Soviet Union and reignite the economy by slashing government.

    But—and here’s the big difference—Reagan kept his promises.

    Not Trump! Instead—in the greatest bait-and-switch in American history — he promptly turned his presidency over to nimrods Jared and Ivanka, while he watched TV and tweeted. Suddenly, the populist hero was replaced with two idiots, who were all about being friends with the Kardashians and sucking up to Goldman Sachs.

    Why don’t we have a wall? Why didn’t Trump impose a tax on remittances to make Mexico pay for it? Why are American workers still training their cheap labor replacements?

    Answer: Stephen Miller, Trump’s crucial immigration aide during the 2016 campaign, survived his first year in the White House only by convincing Ivanka he was working on “Women’s Issues.” He spent his remaining three years with his nose up Jared’s butt.

    We knew about the hucksterism. There was no warning about the kids.

    The Republican Party’s only hope is to become a populist party, but without a shallow, narcissistic ignoramus as its head.

    What is the point of being slavishly loyal to a person who is loyal to no one (except his numbskull kids)? Trump has sold out everyone who was ever faithful to him—Jeff Sessions, Kris Kobach, Chris Christie, Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes, the Proud Boys, Corey Lewandowski, Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, and, of course, his own voters.

    Half of the betrayed are still desperately seeking Trump’s favor by signing onto the futile “Stop the Steal” effort. Not good enough for the administration! But good enough to humiliate themselves in Trump’s final days in office. At the first Stop the Steal rally in Washington, Trump didn’t even show up. He went golfing.”

    • Yohannon January 9, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

      He did some really nice things for the White Base at the very end – but without mentioning us since we are Unmentionables (as well as being Deplorables and Irredemiables). He ended Critical Race Theory training in the Federal Government. He was going to set up a Garden of Heroes to make up for the mass toppling of our statues. And he passed an initiative to change the curriculum, to stop teaching a traitorous version of American History.

      All this after years of raving about Black and Hispanic employment figures and NEVER mentioning Whites. We are just generic mensch material you see. It was an extraordinary slap in the face even in terms of his own civic nationalism. And he was planning to be Republican Lyndon Johnson giving Blacks the sun and the moon with the “platinum plan”. In other words, going along with Narrative but trying to top it as he did with Covid.

      She’s a bit harsh but more or less on target. Instead of doing a few extraordinary things at the end (which the Bushes would never have done), he should have been doing them all along. Kushner told him to focus on minorities, “You already have the trailer parks”. Vicious indeed.

    • sophia January 9, 2021 at 4:32 pm #

      When did he sell out Milo or Giuliani?

      • Rulo Deschamps January 10, 2021 at 5:03 pm #

        Sophia, good catch. Always good to double check.
        A quick search didn’t reveal anything of substance. Milo says he “feels betrayed” by Trump not fighting harder to contest the election after he “lost everything” supporting him. He’s a flamboyant gay man, so of course his “feelings” are very important to him, but no evidence of actual betrayal.
        Giuliani’s case is also very thin – he publicly said he had “insurance” in the form of incriminating evidence if DJT “threw him under the bus”, but that never happened as far as my search showed.
        Always look twice and never believe something just because a well known columnist writes it.

    A sitting president banned from public communication. Parler scrubbed. Gab almost toast. Shades of exiling Napoleon come to mind.

    The benevolent tolerance of the new uniparty and its followers is blindingly sincere, indeed.

    “We’ve got the reins, now let’s purge the other half from public existence. No mercy. They are wrong, and always will be, because they didn’t vote for our guy or cheer on cancelling the right people when we did.”

    This is why no one with a functioning cerebral cortex believes groups like BLM and Antifa just want equality for all. No, they want to take over and flip the tables in misguided, unsubstantiated vengeance for crimes nearly none of their fellow citizens have committed…yet half are now guilty by default. And the democrat party (no caps anymore, fuck em) is running the sideshow with glee.

    Spite and cultural erasure of a large swath of the population is not a suggested bedrock for a society anyone would want to live in, except for those on the right team. Does this sound familiar to anyone? All too familiar, even?

    Really feel the use of the “c” word is justified for those who support this direction as just, but I will defer to our host to break that fourth wall should he choose. Not my place.

    So instead I will just say to those I’ve mentioned above – you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    • Redneck Liberal January 11, 2021 at 1:39 am #

      More pearl clutching. Parler can offer its app elsewhere. Trump can use his enormous Presidential resources to communicate. Twitter started out with a few weirdos reporting what they had for breakfast. He’s so incredibly wealth, he could start his own platform – “Twatter”. Then all the twats can scream into their very own echo chamber and get satisfaction 24/7/365.

      They’d likely even pay for the privilege, or opt to endure constant ‘Fund the Fight Back!’ grifting ads.

    And to clarify yet again, for me this has nothing to do with Trump himself. Like most, I’ve never really liked him. He is, and always has been, a narcissistic blowhard who sways in the wind to suit himself. No different in that respect than any other politician on the national stage.

    But I appreciated his middle finger to the establishment, his attempt to preserve some form of American image and thought from the generations that came before us, and was amused by his stream of consciousness rants containing varying modicums of rationality or clarity.

    But to erase him and all that may have liked the other guy less…is petty.

      Sedition: “conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.”

      He is the authority of the state. Can’t rebel against himself. Therefore, not sedition. And he incited no violence. The opposite, actually. Apparently saying “peaceful protest” means “come fuck shit up and physically attack the new guy in power”. Antifa and BLM were just exercising their first amendment rights. Trump was being seditious. Ah, okay. The disconnect is strong with these ones.

      • Redneck Liberal January 9, 2021 at 1:57 pm #

          We need more than deplatforming

          Mitchell Baker January 8, 2021

          There is no question that social media played a role in the siege and take-over of the US Capitol on January 6.
          Since then there has been significant focus on the deplatforming of President Donald Trump. By all means the question of when to deplatform a head of state is a critical one, among many that must be addressed. When should platforms make these decisions? Is that decision-making power theirs alone?
          But as reprehensible as the actions of Donald Trump are, the rampant use of the internet to foment violence and hate, and reinforce white supremacy is about more than any one personality. Donald Trump is certainly not the first politician to exploit the architecture of the internet in this way, and he won’t be the last. We need solutions that don’t start after untold damage has been done.
          Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.
          Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken:
          Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.
          Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.
          Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.
          Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.
          These are actions the platforms can and should commit to today. The answer is not to do away with the internet, but to build a better one that can withstand and gird against these types of challenges. This is how we can begin to do that.

        Of the 75 million, much less than half are MAGA die hards. Most who voted for Trump simply held their nose and stayed their course by voting Republican. Add to that the large number of ardent Trump supporters who have watched the last few months in horror, and you are left with a base of at best, and this is being ridiculously generous, 20 million. I don’t see a way forward for a party of that size. All it would do is assure the Democrats resounding victories in every election.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder January 9, 2021 at 2:28 pm #

          “All it would do is assure the Democrats resounding victories in every election.”

          That will likely already happen as many on the right may not vote again.

          Not saying that;s a good thing, just saying it’s how a lot of people feel. What’s the point if every election forever now will be contested because it so plausible it can (and will) be fraudulent?

          Who is the next Trump? The next Deep State outsider that will declare war against the swamp and carry it out? Who is a strong enough person to face down the Deep State? IMHO, that person does not exist short of God.

        Covid 19-22 is a good way to bring down living standards to 1/4.

        Hillary believed in looting Russia for another generation of economic orgy. Trump said it is just too dangerous with these pesky Russian icbms.

        He tried Iran, the only other intact reserve. Those damned Aryans just said, “try if you dare, punk”.

        Then the ordered economic retreat of the west, along with those like India, began. China had to help start it. What could they do? They too need to blame somebody for what is coming.

They don’t care what we think, how we vote – let’s not care anymore about their damn smoke and mirrors, and focus on ourselves, our families and communities. All politics is local from now on. Barbarians are at the gates, crops failing and the grain from N Africa stolen by pirates… we can’t pay attention to which decadent Caesar will give more pleasing breads & circuses. Run to the hills, farm, band together with like minded people.

          In 1856, John Fremont lost the election running as a Republican against slavery and state’s rights. Buchanan ended up winning and becoming one of the worst presidents in our history.

Sure there were plenty of obvious shenanigans with the election, but there always have been, and proving it is a real pain in the balls. TPTB know this, and used it to their advantage.

          His son was never called out for all the incriminating evidence against him on his laptop. His son was never called out by the Deep State and accomplice Media for all the shady and illegal stuff that happened in Ukraine with Uncle Joe helping his son make millions.

          Matter of fact Hillary was never implicated for her email servers. Moral of the story is, the Deep State and accomplice Media takes care of their own.

    Kevin Greeson, 55, from Alabama, was at the attack of Congress. In the melee, fearing arrest, he hid his taser in the front of his pants. He stormed the Capitol building and seemingly forgot that he had a taser pointed a couple of inches from his testicles.

    When he stood on a chair to steal a portrait of Tip O’Neill off the wall, his leg pressed against the tasers trigger, and fired the leads into his testicles.

    He then fell, and landed in such a way as to put constant pressure on the trigger, electrocuting himself in the testicles until he expired of a heart attack. He was DOA at the hospital.

      Hey Night, I posted this up thread. it is a video over at GAB, it’s long at 30 minutes but at the 16:40 mark you see the Capital police opening the doors to the building. It is a totally different entrance than the clip you posted. Obviously the order was given to open the doors to the joint for the people. But who gave the order to open up? Somebody needed good photo ops of the “Murderous Mob” ransacking the Capital like the British in 1814. Nobody mentions the shootings BRH brings up in 1954 by the PR separatists. Now PR wants to be a State.WTF?

And yes, the fans look distinctly Appalachian American, from a couple hooligan videos I watched: big, beefy, overweight. Skinheads for the most part, that’s a difference. They like to brawl w their Chelsea & Rangers counterparts. I doubt there’s any more of that these days, with all the CCTV cameras all over the Smoke, plus the lockdowns. Cheers.

    Jim, I have been reading your stuff since the mid-00s and agree with so much of what you write about, but you have gone off the deep end with Trump. Not sure why my comment from yesterday doesn’t appear — are you filtering an echo chamber?

    I despise the duplicity and IDpol of the Biden/Harris clique. It is inherently dehumanizing and destructive. It only serves to degrade honest working people and postpone the reckoning of the LE.

    But Trump is a carnival showman and billionaire (maybe?) hack. He has delivered NOTHING substantive to put off the reckoning of the LE and delivered NOTHING in terms of ending his promises to end the long wars, withdraw from NATO, bring back manufacturing from MX and CN, etc, etc.

    Maybe paper ballots, hand marked by voters, counted in public for all federal office might have solved this problem?

      It’s not about Trump. It’s about his current political position. He’s the guy (still) in office, taking heat and attempting to oppose the unknown woke insanity that is on the immediate horizon…that’s the only reason he is the subject.

      Trump will be fine without being the President. No one needs to come to his aid in that respect. Nor do most care to.

      You are the ones making everything about Trump. It’s the only thing you have in your playbook. “He’s a dick! Therefore, conservatives bad.” For most on the right (or simply on the hell-no-to-the-left) it’s about the principle of the situation. And he is the focus of the principle at the moment. We see through you, and disrespect the one-trick pony straw man arguments that all hinge on the man, the myth, the legend, the Golem, the Antichrist, whatever you want to call him.

      And maybe Trump is just playing the role and pretending to care about his conservative base, but either way, that base cares about their country and its values infinitely more than they care about whomever is the man in the big chair.

          You don’t know half about those scum. I was gloating about Trump sending those packing.

          I always held Nasa went down after they took in such scum to save some bucks.

          The idea of the empire had been to suck such “talents” out of other countries.

          The result is, the native born are unemployed and these “talents” are sub-par.

          India did better with the nationalistic talent that remained. Russia too did well with a minimal budget and whatever talent that was left.

          After you have about 105 IQ, the higher IQ just means faster brain. And you know the story of the tortoise and the hare.

          • GreenAlba January 10, 2021 at 9:18 am #

            I just meant Janos seemed to have forgotten the minor detail of the British Raj, brh. A lot of people ended up with very fat civil service pensions for being invader professionals on the back of professional invaders. It’s primarily why we ended up with a big fat Civil Service in the first place (as Cyril Parkinson – of Parkinson’s Law – used to call it, an economy based on reading each other’s memos), before it was streamlined when it became unaffordable.

            On the medical issue, I don’t understand why the US has to import so many doctors, given how remunerative the profession seems to be compared to working in the NHS, for example. You’d think the loans would get paid off and make it worthwhile for Americans.

            Over here, doctors come out of medical school with massive loans these days, but not as insane as what pertains in the US, as there are caps on tuition fees – low by your standards. But young doctors don’t earn huge sums. However, even with the tuition fees, there’s a big chunk paid by the taxpayer to train a doctor, so it’s cheaper to import one that some other country (or individual in that country) has paid to train. And it avoids the need for forward planning (in terms of training enough doctors), in which politicians are notoriously disinclined to engage. Not that it solves much training more doctors if you can’t get the existing ones to stay in the profession.

            It’s damaging from the point of view of the country from which the doctor has been poached too, although it’s individuals who make the choice to try their professional luck elsewhere, just as British doctors used to escape, until relatively recently, to Australia, where the pay, the working hours and the weather are more favourable.

            GA

            People don’t realize how hard Doctors work, how dedicated they are, and in the USA anyway, the tremendous amount of debt they incur to become doctors to begin with. I wasn’t really aware of it myself until I got to know some of my MD neighbors. I have nothing but respect and admiration for them.

            As far as foreign physicians are concerned, when the state opened its medical school program in this town in 1970, they entered into an agreement with the State Dept. to train a certain number of enrollees from India and Pakistan, with the understanding upon graduation the new Doctors would return home. That didn’t happen, as most of them chose to remain here. There was no law against it, and local hospitals were happy to hire them.

      Whatever happened to being allergic to conspiracy theories JHK?

      You used to be a voice of reason, examining the broader forces at play that are shaping events (energy, urban design, etc). Now you seem to be just another privileged old male that gests off speculating on a wild and outlandish dystopian spin.

      Aren’t these times and people the very corn-pone Nazis you warned us of all these years? Isn’t Donald Trump or the next incarnation of him the very demagogue you foretold would come forth and be elected by the people to push them around? You seem to now be aching for the fascist takeover, why?

      I can’t for the life of me understand how someone with such an insightful intellect as your own, cannot understand that with the rise of demagoguery will come civil and political push back. Its all part of the great arc of the peak of industrial civilization and its inevitable collapse. I’m just not sure why you succumbed to the Dark side. Its a long way from The Oil Drum days indeed.

      Termoil — You’re just describing your own inability to pay attention. Are you okay with the social media purge of the past 48 hours — cancelling free speech.

    Whitepills from the Capitol
    Robert Hampton

    The worst event since 9/11 happened this week. No, it wasn’t another terror attack, nor was it a natural catastrophe.

    Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and . . . just kinda wandered around. Sure, they had to fight their way in and break through doors and windows to obtain their objective. But the violence was far tamer than what we witnessed in nearly every American city at the hands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

    The one person killed was a Trump supporter who was executed for the grave crime of trying to climb through a window.

    Three other Trump supporters and a police officer died due to medical issues. These numbers didn’t hit 9/11 figures.

    Yet, the political and media elites insist this was a horrific terror attack and the perpetrators should be punished to the full extent of the law. In America, you can burn down a police headquarters and walk away scot-free if you do so in the name of George Floyd. But if you barge into Congress to defend the president, you may face 10 years in jail.

    There is a lot to blackpill over this event. President Trump himself condemned the demonstrators in his hostage-esque concession speech. The speech inspired a tsunami of despair from right-wingers, many wondering what was the whole point. Big Tech promises a new round of suppression, lawmakers pledge task forces to persecute Trump protesters, and normies everywhere believe the media’s lies about what transpired. It may be another Charlottesville in terms of its repercussions and cultural backlash.

    But it’s not all doom and gloom.

    The storming of the Capitol is a pivotal moment for the Right that will shape it for years to come. It may be, in Trump’s words, “just the beginning” rather than the end.

    Here are the important “whitepills” to take away from the demonstrations.

    Middle Americans Rose Up

    January Sixth presented an incredible sight: ordinary Middle Americans rioted over a right-wing issue. You would’ve never imagined this during the Tea Party days. Back then, conservatives peacefully protested Barack Obama, yet they were still seen as the second coming of the Ku Klux Klan. Now you see a more assertive Right that doesn’t care about following rules and shows remarkable dedication to a cause. Hundreds of thousands of Trump voters traveled to DC to protest the election; a few thousand were willing to scale the walls of the Capitol to make their voices heard.

    They may not share our views 100%, but these are ultimately our people. And they’re ready to fight. There is something positive in that alone. Our side needs to see ourselves as more than cattle who will accept whatever the system throws our way. For a brief moment, the system got a taste of what it dishes to white America.

    Delegitimized Institutions

    America’s “sacred” institutions — as commentators loved to call them — were tarnished this week. It exposed the system’s hypocrisy. Average Americans do not look fondly on Congress and its inhabitants. The sight of lawmakers cowering in fear at the sight of the people, complete with spacesuit headgear, does not engender respect. But the media instructed us the Capitol was our church, our sacred temple to democracy. Only the most loyal servants would believe this. Every institution vented its fury against the demonstrators — media outlets, politicians, law enforcement, and even corporations. The Right needs to lose its respect for these institutions in order to save the historic American nation. The Capitol demonstrations may have helped advance this goal. There’s no way any right-thinking conservative could see the scorn and sanctimony and believe that these people deserve to rule.

    Most importantly, millions of Americans now doubt the legitimacy of voting. Only three percent of Trump voters see Joe Biden as the legitimate winner of the 2020 election. The hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who rallied to Stop the Steal fully believe the system threw out their votes. They see a system that will crush their most important democratic right if it suits its agenda. The violence unleashed by the state in response to election fraud cements that our democracy is fundamentally corrupt. They will no longer accept elections just because the elites tell them to.

    Delegitimized Republicans and a Radicalized Right

    Trump’s reliance on standard Republicans was a serious weakness of his presidency. He deferred to them far too often in policy, which resulted in a botched healthcare fight and no populist infrastructure plan. The final blows for this arrangement came with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocking $2000 stimulus checks and Trump’s electoral college challenge. The establishment thinks it can regain control with Trump gone.

    Fat chance.

    None of these idiots could draw a fraction of Trump’s crowds and a fraction of the devotion Trump elicits from his supporters. At least a plurality of Republican voters supported the Capitol demonstrations. There are also many Republicans who would tell pollsters they opposed the protests, but they would still sympathize with their cause. This support is not going away, and it won’t transfer to McConnell or Mitt Romney. This is a radicalized Right that is more open to our ideas — even if many of them aren’t allowed to have a Twitter account.

    A True Martyr for the Right

    The American Right has had a few martyrs over the last year, but Ashli Babbit is the one people will remember. She was a mother, a veteran, and a small-business owner — pretty much the ideal Republican. Babbit died for the crime of crawling through a Capitol building window. Her killer: a black cop. She died for what she believed in. Her murder represents the depths to which the system will sink to defend its power. She symbolizes the ordinary white American who demanded her country represent her — and she took a bullet for it. She will stand condemned by the lackeys of our corrupt institutions, but she will be a martyr to those Americans who want their country back.

    Beclowned Empire

    Every world leader chimed in to condemn the Capitol demonstrations. America loves to lecture other countries about their lack of democracy and chaos. Now the whole world got to laugh at the sham that is contemporary American democracy. The storming undermined much of America’s liberal grandstanding to the world. Other countries now see America as no pillar for democracy and a complete hypocrite. It can’t even guard its own capital nor conduct a fair election. The world will remember this week’s events the next time the Empire lectures about “values” and “freedom.”

    Balkanized America

    The sharply different responses to the demonstrations reveal a nation that no longer sees eye to eye on anything. Blue America saw it as a domestic terror attack that warranted massive lethal force. Red America saw it as an act of defiance against a corrupt government. This is just another example of both sides beginning to radicalize. Blue America endorses Antifa and BLM riots and pretends they’re peaceful. Red America is rightfully horrified by those acts of violence. Both sides are starting to sympathize with political violence. This is a nation that cannot return to “normality” under President Biden. The post-war consensus will never return, and these divisions will continue to grow. A Balkanized America presents greater opportunities for us to save our civilization. The vast majority of America submitting to the status quo ensures we are consigned to irrelevance.

    The fallout from the Capitol demonstrations will probably be severe. Some on our side may decry the demonstrations due to these harmful effects. They are mistaken. The system would use any pretext to suppress us. If it wasn’t the demonstrations, it would’ve been something else.

    It’s necessary for our people to resist their dispossession. Wednesday’s demonstrations showed that. Our task is to ensure this defiance is not neutered and we build a movement that will save whites from dalitization.

    Yoho: Yes, we don’t want to become dalits. Ask cholo about that one. The second to last paragraph is key. Let go of the tortured “what ifs”. They were going to do this under one pretext or another. They’ve been saying as much for years. At least we had some fun with it. And the ferocious condemnation from “our” side shows who are the hirelings. Rush Limbaugh compared the Capital Takers to the Minutemen. He’s dying and has nothing to lose, no career to maintain. Not a Hireling, at least not anymore.

      To avoid that fate, you must know who you are and who are those wannabe brahmins, and who they intend to define as ksatriyas.

      Hint: “brahmins” are the managerial class. They like to be a bit in the background but have absolute power. They don’t particularly care about race.

      So, the first step is to stop calling yourself the generic white. Those brahmins are mostly white too (including the likes of Obama). So, how do you define yourself? Maybe continue with the honorable title given by Hillary?

      As long as you define yourself a generic white person, you will fail.

      • elysianfield January 10, 2021 at 11:15 am #

        “Hint: “brahmins” are the managerial class. They like to be a bit in the background but have absolute power…”

        Chola,
        Where the hell did you get that idea? They are to be referred to with respect…you will address them as “citizen administrator”….

      • Yohannon January 10, 2021 at 1:45 pm #

        Krishna says, The Four Castes are not arbitrary social designations, but rather they are made by Me.

        The Brahmin is the head, the priests and intellectuals. The Ksyatrias are the arms, the warriors and adminstrators.

        The Vaisya, the stomach (if memory serves), the businessmen and producers.

        The Sudras, the feet (if memory serves), the laborers and servants.

        No doubt the arbitrary designations exist, and that’s what you’re talking about. But the imitation proves the real. Trump, like most people, is a mix of two, in his case the Vaisya and the Ksyatria. Obviously he is not enough Ksyatria to bring us home. Only a General Flynn or pure Ksyatria could do that. But Flynn couldn’t “get elected” and wouldn’t have been able to match wits with these scoundrels. Trump was able to do that.

        • Rulo Deschamps January 10, 2021 at 6:39 pm #

          Y, “Obviously he is not enough Ksyatria to bring us home”. Obviously not. All hat no cattle.

        • chola3 January 10, 2021 at 9:52 pm #

          Your understanding of what Krishna said, let alone whether to actually bother to believe it, is not the same as mine.

          Firstly, like all books, woe to you to believe they are still of the original version. Second is the translation by vested interests.

          Anyway rather than argue about books, which is a monotheist hobby anyway, I will just tell you the brahmanical hinduism, while widely known to outsiders (since they write a lot of books), is hardly practiced by non-brahmins in India. The caste system is also hardly recognizable if you were to take just books.

          Example is me. I am defined as farmer caste of southern India. There are about a dozen farmer castes here.

          Looks low level to you if you just read books. However, if you translate as landed caste, you get a better idea. We are 50% of the population, hold most lands, and are the only ones allowed to be knights.

          Others who line up to take food from us, labourers, priests, bards, accountants, are obviously not in a position to tell us what to do. It is still more or less that way because of the demographic dominance.

          Brahmins, like your managerial class, can write all they want for whitey’s eyes. Them and the other end (e.g Aruthathi Roy).

          Note: just like your civil war freeing the blacks, the quota system enjoyed by the lower castes are bitterly fought for in the streets within the farmer caste.

          Don’t think this is a detour from your topics. In the future, don’t let the book writers take control. The system must be controlled benevolently by those who hold the plow on one hand and sword on the other.

    In Ct our local economies have been wiped out by Covid shutdowns, small businesses taking the brunt of it. The disaster is manifesting itself in strange ways, in the suburbs and countryside an uptick in traffic fatalities and domestic assaults, in cities an increase in stolen cars, murder, armed robberies and beat downs

    Dems control everything here; our billionaire lefty governor announced his 2021 priorities to get the state “back on track.”

    1. Fight climate change.

    2. Legalize weed and other drugs.

    3. Promote sports betting.

    4. Build Section 8 housing towers in small towns outside Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven.

    What a visionary, huh! The future is glorious!

          Bread and circuses being standardized.

          Free money (kind of, if you don’t have any real standard of living), stay home, ignore mom and dad, watch TV, play Xbox, order in tepid Chipotle, smoke up, keep yourself occupied with fantasy sports and betting.

          Times have changed.

          Legalizing weed used to sound like a fun radical idea. Now I think it’s being used to keep people from caring about what’s going on. I, too, have no problem with legalizing weed, but its main attraction is that it makes you okay with being bored and not participating in the world. Great for a day here and there, but as a lifestyle not something to foist on an entire population if you want them involved. They clearly do not us involved.

    My one big issue with President Trump is that all this Vatican commie tyranny, could and should have been preempted. All the big tech companies should have been massively fined as commie monopolies, broken up and new patriotic alternatives set up.

    Allow me to jank the shifter and switch into some ‘old’ JHK:

    As we’re now engaged with the divisiveness of our domestic politics, global political and natural forces still continue to shape the world and cause concern. One huge concern is adequate water supply to meet increasing demands by ever increasing populations.

    About five years ago, in Tulare County, California, 7,000 people ran out of water. Farmers competed with residents, wells ran dry. Large farming organizations needed cheap water and loose regulations, and they found Arizona.

    Middle Eastern farmers liked Arizona. In a few decades, aquifers in the ME were drained that took 20,000 years to form. Saudi Arabia was one of the countries forced to outsource their agriculture. Back around 2014, the Almarai Corporation, owned by SA, bought 10,000 acres in Arizona and planted alfalfa to ship back and feed Saudi cattle. Then another company, Al Dahra, bought thousands of acres on the Arizona-California border. What they were doing was called ‘groundwater mining’, and they were in essence exporting water.

    Some Arizona cotton goes to China, but so do tree nuts like pecans and pistachios, grown here in Arizona, and they need large amounts of water to grow, and people are having their water wells run dry.

    The point of all this is to give just One example of globalism’s extensive reach and its often harmful consequences. But it won’t be stopped because it can’t be stopped. So there’s an example of our Arizona ‘local’ globalism. In other words, any ‘localization’ will continue to be global for some time. We may not start to really go local until the Die-Centennial, when Dinocars die and pteroplanes cease to fly.

    Dinocars are still guzzling from the Black Lagoons
    Gulping them down ’till the last teaspoon
    Drinking dead life formed eons ago
    Just to keep up with the traffic flow

      “Some wild rumors floating around involving Trump.”

      One of the greatest worries in all this is the almost total blurring of fact and rumour. It is too simple to just blame the rise of the Internet and social media – ranging from giants like Twitter and Facebook through to a thousand small-fry blogs – although both of these are hugely critical.

      It seems there is such a partisan divide between pro-Trump and anti-Trump forces that huge numbers of people want to believe anything and everything that resonates with them.

      From Trumpers, one brave man is fighting the whole Deep State and Chinese conspiracy, for the soul of the nation … for anti-Trumpers, they are resolutely defending America and democracy, and are fighting a demagogue leading the country into uncontrolled fascism and sedition.

      Hard to find a lot of common ground in there – and almost everyone gravitates to the news sources that give them the world-view that they seek. Personally I avoid all the most extreme, on both the left and the right … there is no discussion, it’s just boring repetition or preaching to the choir.

      Steve Bannon advised Trump years ago that it was ALL about control of and influence over the media … “flood the zone with shit”. I think this worked very well for Trump for almost his whole terms, but the wheels fell off during the campaign, and especially after 3 November.

      There was something surreal about Rudi Giuliani holding a press conference at on the Four Seasons Total Landscape driveway … and it really has been downhill ever since, including the off-the-wall crazies such as Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn, and Lin Wood.

      Jeffrey Epstein was supposed to appear and name names on Jan 6 – remember that? All sorts of crap pours in every day and just drains away. Nothing matters and nobody cares … it’s all just noise.

      None of these supposedly professional people assisted Trump to win hearts and minds, and the storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters (it wasn’t an Antifa false flag) has been both a political and personal disaster; he no longer has martyr status – at least not outside his hard-core.

      I still think a pointless impeachment and a failed 25th Amend attempt are not helpful to Biden-Harris, the transition, and the post 20 January era – but you can certainly understand why they’re doing it.

      The role of Mike Pence, and the breadth of pardons, are the wild cards for the last week or so … I can’t see military action or arrests, or any other such wishful thinking action. I don’t think any military would support Trump today.

    This kind of thing seems to hang in the air, like an archetype or a ‘meme’ or Rupert Shel;drake’s morphic resonance. (Now I think of it, there was enmity between Sheldrake and the inventor of the meme, who I seem to remember was Dawkins. There is an entertaining account on Sheldrake’s website called Richard Dawkins Calls; Dawkins had got Sheldrake to agree to take part in a documentary about, let’s call it pseudoscience. He wasn’t just going to debunk him, he promised, but that is just what he did.)

    Matthew Johnson pointed out that the Black Panthers invaded the Capitol in 1967. I checked and it is true (see link further up.0 Two dozen armed Panthers walked in. After release their weapons were returned to them.

    I seem to remember Johnson saying that there have been a couple of state capitols similarly invaded in the last year or so. Was Minnestoa one of them. I will probably just have to listen to the whole podcast again, which is what I often do in order to clarify facts and commit the main outline to memory.

    In the first (I think it was the first) of a short series of monster meetings in Berlin by virus sceptics in the summer there was an, er, incident outside the Bundestag. Footage showed a small crowd, probably well under 100 from memory, being incited by a speaker to invade, or something, the building. I think a few of them went up to the big main door and gave it a few thumps. One or two may have rapped on a window. The German media portrayed it as an attempted right-wing coup or something equally ridiculour. Perhaps Owl remembers it better than me.

    I heard somewhere that it is planned to remove the short cameo appearance of Trump from Home Alone 2. Is that true.

    • akmofo January 10, 2021 at 3:05 pm #

      People have really short memories. Why go to 1967? Wasn’t it just two years ago that Antifa and other DemonRat goons invaded the Capitol and successfully harassed and intimidated lawmakers during the Judge Kavanaugh Senate hearing? That’s THE DEFINITION of domestic terrorism.

      Did President Trump do about it? Nada.

      “Some would say those that are still attacking Trump have a mental illness.”

      Don’t know about that – but it would seem to lack clear political thinking from the Democrats. I guess there a lot of people who don’t want Trump to get away with inciting a riot on the Capitol … a bridge too far, even for him.

      But it’s only ten more days … you think playing the long game (to 2022) would be more fruitful. There are still a lot of Trump supporters out there, irrespective of any moving sand inside the beltway..

    The Saker, January 6

    Mind blowing hypocrisy!

    I just listened to Trey Gowdy and a few others GOP big-shots condemn the “terrible violations of the law” committed by the protestors today and I take my hat off to these folks: they are truly world class hypocrites.

    When cops and mayors refuse to protect the innocent, the rule of law is doing great!

    When the letter soup agencies spend millions on a typical witch hunt, the rule of law is doing great!

    When the First Amendment is being destroyed by Big Tech, the rule of law is doing great!

    When the corporate legacy ziomedia brazenly silences the President, and simply does not report on crucial events, the rule of law is doing great!

    When elections are stolen, the rule of law is doing great!

    When courts refuse to enforce the law, the rule of law is doing great!

    When the Supreme Court refuses to defend the Constitution, the rule of law is doing great!

    But when the people, literally, those whom the elected officials are supposed to represent, demonstrate all day peacefully and then a few, not necessarily even Trump supporters (false flags are very easy to organize with crowds!), storm the halls of Congress, then the GOP bigshots take to the air and lament the “tragedy” of the law being violated.

    No country and no regime can stand on such truly galactic levels of doublethink, hypocrisy and cowardice.

    This is the beginning of the end of this regime.

    My thoughts tonight are with the “deplorables”. In the prophetic words of George Orwell:

    “If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”

    Orwell’s “proles” are our “deplorables”. And for all the self-evident weaknesses and delusions, they are the only ones left, literally, and they will have to be the soil from which the liberation of the USA will have to begin.

    The rest of them make me feel nauseated.

    The Saker

    Yoho: Eloquent as usual for this Devotee of the Truth. But the beginning of the end of this regime? That doesn’t follow at all.

    • akmofo January 10, 2021 at 5:02 pm #

      President Trump exposed the system and EVERYONE in the system, especially the treasonous RINOs. They all proved to be dirty. And if they are dirty now, they were always dirty. You can take that to the bank. There will be a new conservative political party, a real patriotic conservative party. The old guard are politically finished. The commie tyranny we are now seeing take hold will only accelerate the process.

      There will be a war with communist China, it’s inevitable. Their commie agents and handmaidens will be exposed and executed for treason. There shall be no escape for these commie traitors.

      A similar dynamic is playing out in Israel. I would not be surprised if in the not too distant future commie anti-Israeli judges and commie anti-Israeli prosecutors are publicly lynched outside their home. The anger in Israel against their judicial commie dictatorship and treasonous behavior is red hot. My anger and disgust against them is red hot.

      Democracy is a social agreement to solve cultural political economic issues peacefully through the ballot box. When Democracy is deliberately thwarted by treasonous commies, that social agreement is no more. Extreme violence is what will follow, and what should follow.

      • Yohannon January 10, 2021 at 5:39 pm #

        As Mark Levin asked, Do you really think the Founders would have been in favor of certifying fraudulent state elections?

        “It’s just ceremonial. The Vice President never did such a thing before.”

        So why have it at all? Maybe it wasn’t supposed to be just ceremonial but a last line of defense? And it was never done before because it never needed to be done before. This argument is like saying, The streets are safe – why do we need all these cops for?

        Levin thinks there was a possible precedent, but he might be wrong or in any case, and just to keep it general: Sometimes one has to do something new. And the Founders may have forseen this possibility. They certainly said if things get really bad, blow it to smithereens. Surely not certifying the votes and doing an audit is less radical than the door he (and the rest of them) have opened.

        Ditto the Supreme Court and their criminal negligence (except for Alito and Thomas). Scared of a some rioting? Ok, Totalitarianism and Civil War then.

        • akmofo January 10, 2021 at 6:07 pm #

          There should be new elections scheduled in these States. No voting machines. No absentee ballots. All supervised by the military and observers from all parties.

          Until that happens, Marshal Law. Persons, especially politicians, involved in prior elections and constitutional criminally should be arrested questioned and prosecuted.

          The commie MSM propaganda outlets should be shutdown, their management arrested and prosecuted for treason. Same for the management of the giant tech companies. Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, should be fined their full net worth, and the fines used to breakup their monopolies and set up numerous democratic alternatives. Enough of indulging these poisonous fascist/commie traitorous oligarchs.

          “As Mark Levin asked, Do you really think the Founders would have been in favor of certifying fraudulent state elections?”

          I actually think the real historical answer to this is “Yes”.

          The FF had to find a working compromise – to get a national election done, but not infringe on paranoid states rights.

          So the solution – the president would be chosen by electors at an Electoral College, but how those electors got there was ENTIRELY up to each of the states to decide.

          They could use a version of nude Twister, or pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, but they all chose popular elections.

          The Joint Session of Congress was never designed to be a final court of appeal on what the states submitted. Its only discretionary role was if a state really did have two or more competing lists certified, or if there were three viable candidates and no-one had a majority of votes. That’s all.

          But I agree – in the modern age there is no reason to have any electors, or an Electoral College, or a Joint Session of Congress unless strictly required.

          Just run the election count at the MGM Grand Sports Book in Las Vegas – and tally up all the votes over x days. Better TV.

    Sophia, you are correct. And really, the world has always been filled with great evil. But at the same time there has to be clear discernment. You may remember Elrond who used to post here. A “progressive” from Canada who was rabidly anti-American, anti-White, and anti-Conservative. He accused me of embracing the politics of envy and theft. Actually a very clever flip of the script but a hollow acusation at the end of the day IMO. Is it just that profits are accumulated via murder, fraud, and theft? And yet how do you believe those who hold absolute power obtained that power? If believing that the wealth and assets of the oligarchs and corporations who rule the earth should be seized and redistributed to all of those persons and parties they have so injured is the politics of envy and theft then so be it. Do you really have law and order when one party adheres faithfully to the 10th commandment while the other believes it is a laughable myth? The Republic the Founding Fathers passed on to us they said themselves was wholly inadequate for an immoral and uneducated people so it should come as no surprise that we now have tyrants and oligarchs ruling over us. That doesn’t mean they or their power and resources are legitimate in any respect.

      So much for the Green New Deal. From the Wiki:

      BlackRock is the world’s largest investor in coal plant developers, holding shares worth $11 billion among 56 coal plant developers.[79] Another report shows that BlackRock owns more oil, gas, and thermal coal reserves than any other investor with total reserves amounting to 9.5 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions – or 30 percent of total energy-related emissions from 2017.

      Imagine that 30% of total emissions! Wait till Climate Czar Kerry gets a hold of them. He’ll turn that into some serious carbon offset credits at your expense. Turn down your damn heat you Deplorable losers!

      • stelmosfire January 10, 2021 at 4:54 pm #

        Of course if the Carbon credits are not enough of a handout we can expect a good ol’ shootin’ war to bump the Blackrock bottom line. Also from the Wiki:

        BlackRock is the largest investor in weapon manufacturers through its iShares U.S. Aerospace and Defense ETF.[102]

        Then of course there is the China connection:

        In August 2020, BlackRock received approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to set up a mutual fund business in the country. This makes BlackRock the first global asset manager to get consent from China to start operations.[48][49]

        Blackrock is a deep,dark, sinister player in the Global playing field.

        • BackRowHeckler January 10, 2021 at 5:07 pm #

            Very interesting but not surprising at all that Blackrock people will play a major role in the Biden regime. Also keep in mind that the Climate Justice agenda has little to do with the climte or environment and everything to do with controlling the general populations’ behavioral patterns and movements. The main goal again goes back to control and further centralizing power into the hands of our “managers”.

      He goes on about how many of Top Brass are not going to be happy about bowing down to China, etc. He makes an interesting case. More: Trump will get his ten days because Bitch McConnell doesn’t want to further destroy the Republican Party, still dreaming it has a future. So maybe there’s still time?

Yesterday there were blackouts in Pakistan, the Vatican, and Berlin. All places where our votes were allegedly going for tabulation and manipulation. So it seems like something is going on. It makes sense that the Leftist insurrectionists would be removing Trump from everything to prevent him from communicating with the people and thus force him to use the EAS.

            I can’t find the link, but I recall it strongly. It was part of a long charge sheet on the day or night of the Georgia Senate run-offs.

            It included Chief Justice John Roberts being totally compromised (Epstein got his adopted kids fast-tracked out of Ireland IIRC, plus had him over the island), and then the usual range of stuff relating to the Lolita Express, pedophilia, child trafficking, organ-stealing, and of course, cannibalism.

            I don’t think George Soros and Bill gates were left out either 🙂

            Anyway – as the thorough sceptic I am – I would never rely on (or requote) anything from the unstable Lin Wood!

            Teka can’t find the link, but he “recalls it strongly.”

            No evidence for the wildest smear.

            Imagine that.

      “Can anyone in the readership explain to me why they are going after Trump who has gone to ground with only a few days remaining in his tenure?”

      My best guess: A perception by the Democrat brains trust the storming of the Capitol and Trump’s urging of it have generation enough public animosity towards Trump and his enablers that there is political capital to be made by doing so.

      Even if they aren’t legally successful (forcing a resignation, getting a 25th Amend push, or an impeachment trial) they really want Trump to leave office as damaged goods – someone Joe Biden can disparage ruthlessly forever.

      They would also like Trump supporters to be tarred with the same brush. They don’t want Trump decorated as the loser of a rigged election, and certainly not a noble martyr.

      The Obama admin didn’t chase down George W Bush in 2009 on “war crimes”, and I think the Democrats really regretted not doing so.

        You’re spot on with this. Tarring and feathering.

        A sad state of affairs.

    Couldn’t find a reply button to GreenAlba.

    Janos is not wrong in not bringing up the british Raj.

    The current ideas of the british in india are just racial masturbations on one side and evil-white-man theme on the other of your race. And some Indi/Pakis will join in for their benefit.

    Let’s just say the Brits could never rule without our permission. The independence movement was not really about fighting that Churchill guy buy trying to convince enough locals that things could be more better if we planned ourselves rather than those in London who had become fat cats.

    • GreenAlba January 11, 2021 at 6:19 am #

      Janos seems to be particularly perturbed about Indians taking over swaths of tech jobs in the US.

      Like the British Raj taking over swaths of Indian textile jobs and moving them to Lancashire or Glasgow.

      And you seem to have made the perfect argument by acquiescing to foreign professionals taking over another country. Goose, gander, sauce.

      You don’t have to call it evil white man – no-one said evil Indian man either. If you approve of an elite from another country taking over yours, so be it – no racial masturbation necessary.

      • chola3 January 11, 2021 at 7:53 am #

        Janos is right to be upset about it. I would too. Probably more.

        And again, I still think your knowledge of the entirety of British empire in India is sketchy and is based on the white man evil thingy.

        Now know that the British hanged hundreds of Tamil nobility in 1799 after a failed rebellion. So know that I don’t write sentences for fun.

        • GreenAlba January 11, 2021 at 9:00 am #

          I didn’t say anything about the entirety of the British Empire in India, merely that a class of invader professionals went there, so your judgement is a bit premature and based on the making assumptions thingy, and specifically wanting me to think white man evil when I think no such thing, regardless of how much that might suit you. I don’t see any difference between the British and the Romans in the particular matter that neither went to India (and elsewhere) or Britain (and elsewhere) specifically with the wellbeing of their new subjects as their first priority. So white is neither here nor there, your prejudices notwithstanding.

          People always want to make calculations as to the ‘overall’ negatives/positives in these situations, but it doesn’t necessarily work like that – it rather depends who, where and what you were.

          • GreenAlba January 11, 2021 at 9:01 am #

            And I didn’t say Janos was wrong to be upset about it either. I merely pointed out a kind-of parallel. Indian weavers were right to be upset too.

            You need to stop reading stuff into things.

          • chola3 January 11, 2021 at 9:12 am #

            Your wordplay was not targetted at me. It was at Janos. But it is still wordplay to counter-guilt him.

            You hijacked the topic to bring your white-man-evil stuff and I don’t appreciate it.

            I am not a dumb white right-winger to word-play with you. Neither am I those pesky immigrant Pakis who you think will lick your boots for favour.

          • GreenAlba January 11, 2021 at 9:31 am #

            I said nothing about white man evil. I merely pointed out that Janos saying ‘imagine a class of professional invaders inundating India’ – or words to that effect – was slightly ironic.

            And I don’t care what you appreciate or don’t appreciate, but I note that you can’t let things go. And you are obsessed with your notion of white man evil, which only YOU mentioned and now can’t drop.

            I didn’t hijack the topic any more than anyone else hijacks a topic by pointing out an inconsistency or an irony.

            “Neither am I those pesky immigrant Pakis who you think will lick your boots for favour’.

            What the actual fuck? You’ve got problems, mate. Seriously. And a superiority complex which is not my problem either.

          • GreenAlba January 11, 2021 at 9:57 am #

            And if you feel tempted to ‘reply’ again, remember to start with everything you think you know about me and my Pakistani neighbours and we’ll take it from there.

            I don’t care if you’re a dumb rightwinger, a dumb leftwinger or a superbrain piggy in the effing middle, you self-righteous, presumptuous twerp. Don’t make stuff up about me and what I think. That’s been Janos’ speciality heretofore and I don’t take it from him either. Deal with your own issues, sunshine.

    People in high levels of government, members of Congress, the media, and corporate America are openly and wantonly participating in the violation of civil and human rights at this point. Some of these same people are advocating various levels of genocide be perpetrated against their political opposition. Trump has at the very least managed to lure these people into fully unmasking who it is they really are. There is no going back for them now and that is why they have no choice but to double down. DC has always been a deep fake. It hasn’t been about the people that’s for sure. And now there needs to be no more pretense whatsoever. I think they liked that veneer of pretense and “decorum” though actually. Now they just appear to be rabid, unhinged, and conspiratorial. Hmmm isn’t that something!

    • Tekapo January 11, 2021 at 3:25 am #

      “Now they just appear to be rabid, unhinged, and conspiratorial. Hmmm isn’t that something!”

      And the Democrats are almost as bad 🙂

    • Night Owl January 11, 2021 at 5:49 am #

      Trump accomplished a lot.

      There is nothing one can do when the system is rigged. The staged scenario at the capitol was the final piece of evidence that corrupt actors are in control to a degree few would have imagined.

      At this point, the only remedy is to build an oppositional party united with other parties of similar mindset across the West. And one of the most important elements is push-back against the global corporate media.

      The media is the primary lever by which they break down free societies, as the same disinformation is pushed worldwide.

    Great post – JK you’ve taken the genre to whole a new level.

    I especially appreciate the new intel you release here at CF Nation.

    I ddi not know about the Strontium 90 laced into the Covid 19vaccines.

    And you are the first to verify the Black OPs involved in the Cap riot.

    Thanks. Thanks a lot.

    Good News!

    ‘BLACKROCK EXEC CHOSEN TO BE KAMALA HARRIS TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR’

    More Good News!

    ‘BLACKROCK GIVEN GREENLIGHT TO OPEN OFFICES IN CHINA, 1st WESTERN FINANCIAL FIRM TO MARKET SECURITIES IN THAT COUNTRY’

    And there’s this:

    $8 trillion BlackRock Fund announces it will divest from American oil, natgas and coal companies.

    It’s all coming together nicely. Maybe this is what the $3 billion payoff from Xi Jingping to the Biden and Kerry families was all about, who knows? First, to make it happen, they needed to eliminate President Trump.

    There will come a time when a tipping point is reached where those on the Right outweigh or outnumber those on the Left. This will inevitably happen because the Left has been compelled to reveal its true nature through its efforts to destroy the Trump populist movement. Once the momentum is on the Right the whole facade of lies woven by the Left will collapse like a house of cards…
