Of course, the “Joe Biden” classified document scandal is less about the documents per se than it is about the Biden family business, which was accepting llarge sums of money from shady foreign interests for unspecified services rendered. “Joe Biden,” the brand, is owned, perhaps to the degree that he can be called “a sell-out.” Selling out your country is kind of serious.
For instance, our country is right now deeply involved in a war between a Biden family client, Ukraine, and its angry relative, Russia. The USA has pumped more than $100-billion into Ukraine just this past year. That’s quite a return-on-investment for the million or so Hunter Biden grifted out of the Burisma gas company. It is alleged that Ukraine has operated as a gigantic international money laundry, especially since our State Department and Intel Community overthrew Ukraine’s government in 2014 and put in a series of errand boys.
Ukraine did not have to become a geopolitical hot-spot. We made it a problem on-purpose. The strategy, if you can call it that, was stated explicitly by SecDef Lloyd Austin: “to weaken Russia.” That was based on the NeoCon game theory that the USA had to maintain at least the appearance of dominance over as much of the world as possible — a.k.a. hegemony — at the very moment in history that America’s economy, culture, and institutions had entered a state of collapse, visible to everyone in the world. By the way, our efforts in Ukraine against Russia have only strengthened Russia — its currency, its balance of trade, its own internal political security, and its military defenses.
The Ukraine fiasco has surely benefited America’s military contractors and the parasitical ecosystem that feeds off it. Ukraine has benefited not so much. To be blunt and concise, Ukraine will come out of this a much-diminished entity, with no ability to cause any more problems in that region of the world. The money laundry will be closing down. As that happens, recriminations will pour out of Ukraine, implicating many American officials in the laundry operations, including former Ambassador Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch and her circle. Wait for that.
So, the tussle over the docs is a smokescreen for those artful machinations. The appointment by praetorian Attorney General Merrick Garland of a special counsel, Robert K. Hur, to investigate the doc affair is the insurance policy. Mr. Hur’s job is to prevent any witness from testifying on these matters before a congressional committee on the grounds of protecting “an ongoing investigation.” You can bet that whichever committee takes on this hairball, it will find workarounds to overcome that gambit and start unraveling the grift behind the docs. It will get ugly.
The evidence for all that is neatly packaged in the notorious laptop computer that Biden family bag-man Hunter Biden dropped off in a Wilmington, DE repair shop and then “forgot about,” so the story goes. I wonder about that. My armchair psychiatrist’s take is that Hunter harbors a not-so-well suppressed wish to destroy the Big Guy, his father, who has sinned grievously against his son and made a monster of him. (A monster of depravity.) The classified docs that the Big Guy stashed in his various properties are quite secondary to the gigantic trove of deal memos with purchasers of influence (and photos of them with the Biden gang) stashed on that radioactive hard-drive.
I’ll never understand — and neither will you — how “Joe Biden” got propelled out of ignominious defeat in the earliest presidential primaries, to sweep the field on Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Around the same time, all his rivals magically dropped out of the race for the nomination. Some kind of message must have gone out from Deep State Central. Who wanted this licentious old grifter in White House? Well, probably his old boss, Barack Obama, and just about everyone in officialdom connected to the shenanigans in Ukraine dating back to 2014, and then the RussiaGate illegalities that ensued from it, especially former CIA boss John Brennan and his cronies. Under Mr. Obama, the whole US government had become something like a rotten log infested with sowbugs of grift, deceit, and malfeasance. Installing the dotty old bird in the White House would give Mr. Obama a stealth third term. Mostly, it would prevent the dreaded Golden Golem of populism, Donald Trump, from bringing any harm to that cabal and its, ahem, interests.
We do understand how “Joe Biden” won the 2020 election: via massive fraud engineered by fraud-master Marc Elias, king of the Lawfare trolls, who fine-tuned the mail-in ballot operation during the likewise engineered Covid-19 public health ruse. That wicked election business, of course, is just another grave matter requiring the utmost protection to prevent any inquiry from ever gaining traction. And yet all of it, the monumental government crime spree of recent years is all unraveling before our eyes — even before Jim Jordan or anyone else has even said boo from a House committee chair.
It’s all falling apart — along with America’s economy, our institutions, and our culture. The Biden family’s cover stories are collapsing, the government’s censorship and propaganda machine has thrown a rod, the Covid-19 story looks day-by-day like organized mass murder, election fraud issues still stalk the land despite every effort to squash them — and the grim reality coalesces that Russia is going to clean up the mess we made in Ukraine, and, in the aftermath, probably produce a shit-ton of evidence of American corruption and villainy there.
“Joe Biden,” the phantom president, has entered the air-lock, waiting to be jettisoned into the deep space of ignominy, chocolate mint chip ice cream cone in hand. Kamala Harris watches the action offstage in a fugue of anxiety and depression. She does not want to become president — and, guess what, nobody really wants her to be, either. She won’t even have to be induced to step aside. Her hysteria will be so great that not even the hypnotists of the Intel Community will be able to calm her down. She’ll run shrieking from it back to California. The levers of control finally fail. By a caprice of history, and the genius of the founding fathers, Kevin McCarthy lands in the White House. A page turns. The coup is finally over. That’s my fantasy du jour.

Who will play the role of Gerald Ford in this isometric echo of the 70s? Another grifter from californicate or military man wearing rainbows?
Why yes, precisely: Kevin McCarthy.
Grifter, check.
California, check.
Respectable Republican fall guy, check.
Hard times visible on the horizon, check.
Mccarthy might as well go ahead and legally change his name to Gerald Ford at this point.
Trump’s support for him is interesting. He probably thinks that he can use McCarthy as a cat’s paw to get himself back in the WH. You know, 64D chess! Of course, being Trump, if Mac does get into the Oval Office, he will completely outplay Trump and keep all the power for himself and his DS cronies.
…and prove once again what a lousy politician he is by getting pwned by the speaker of the house.
Yeah, I can’t fathom why orange man would be twisting arms to get WEF McCarthy into the speakership. It’s sad that he’s in a position to twist anybody’s anything. He needs to go away but his ego won’t permit it.
And Trump is sharing a rally with those well-known defenders of small government and individual freedom, Lindsey Graham and Psycho McMasters.
It’s hard to see how McCarthy will ever be president. Yes, the ones who control Biden are probably ready to jettison him. But Kamala would probably serve the masters just fine. She might even win reelection, depending on what the economy looks like next year. The Republicans seem intent on tearing themselves apart and I don’t think Trump can put them back together again this time. But does any of it really matter at this point?
Normally, I would reply (to your comment about Kumala, yes kum) that you are one tick removed from permanent residence in Pennsylvania, but then I realize you could actually be right about Vat69 Harris being elected. After all, John Fettermountain was elected Senator to represent PA. In this topsy screwy America we are living in any prepostrous event can take place.
Sonny, the junior Senator from PA occupies a bell tower and fantasizes about his assistant, a gypsy girl named Esmeralda.
Economy…
What economy?
The Dems will win in 2024 whoever is the choice because of voter fraud. The GOP is making no effort whatsoever to correct this and doesn’t seem to care.
I don’t see why Kamala couldn’t be trained to read from a teleprompter and groomed into some semblance of gravitas. Heck, it’s just an acting job, after all. I would think that almost anyone could be trained to do it.
Yet, clearly, no one has been working on her to fill the presidential role–or we would be seeing some results by now.
Yes, the perfect Company Man, an Un-Man, waiting to be acted upon, the perfect tool.
Bingo.
If we are playing fantasy games today, I will share my own. No, McCarthy, no, that won’t work. Let Kamala assume the role when Joe craps out, is thrown out or drowns in his Sitz bath and then the DNC appoints her replacement at VP. I think that Michelle gets the nod, but we cannot count out Hilliary. This sets the stage for Kamala to be committed or drown in a hot tub, and then the remaining witch gets the nod, or perhaps even Barry himself.
No one can claim that this is not possible, because in a land where anything goes, nothing really matters, and no one really cares, ANYTHING is possible.
And I don’t think that the Biden Crime Family will ever be prosecuted or made to pay for their crimes against humanity, because in a land where fraud and theft are considered viable business models, Joe and the demented spawn of Jill’s tainted loins are national heroes. Ask Sam Bankman Freid, he knows.
Hunter is not the spawn of Jill’s tainted loins, he was the son of Neila Biden, whose better part ran down her leg.
Thank you for the correction, but the fact that he was put there by Dopey Joe, he was spawned from tainted loins, nonetheless.
You are correct Walter – demented spawn – like father, like son.
Actually, Walter, I think Barry could become President without violating the 22nd Amendment since he wouldn’t be taking office by election. His term would also be less than two years, in case anyone wanted to argue the spirit and intention of the 22nd made it work both backwards and forwards in time.
or Kevin Biden…eeeek
Ford was an appointed political hack who was a nobody who covered up JFK’s assassination on the Warren Commission. (one of them anyway).
Biden, as JK so aptly points out, is worse. Far worse, because of his corruption.
If Karmalita gets booted out of D.C. and decides to run for Diane’s Senate seat she would lose.
And if Diane is still drooling and doesn’t even know her own staff but refuses to not run, if her name is on that ballot, California voters are so out of touch that Feinstein would win.
I gotta get out of this place!
Jim
Thanks for having the fortitude to call out Obama the Wedding Party Bomber for his pivotal role in the management of the OBiden hologram.
Kamala would not exist as a political figure had not Obama rescued her from obscurity when she couldn’t mobilize a single supporter in her bid for the Presidential nomination. She owes him her life. At his command she will be on Air Force Two bound for California within hours.
The only roadblock in McCarthy’s path to the Oval Office is if President Harris should appoint Barack Obama as Vice President as a final act of her first and last day as President.
Is Obama’s ego bigger than even Trump’s?
In case nobody has noticed, The Winter Offensive that our Ministry of Information has been telling us about for months doesn’t seem to be happening. Is that because the Russian Dept. of War is waiting for the USA to send a few token samples of the latest weapons so they can capture them and upgrade their software defenses against the coming last gasp NATO attacks against the Russian heartland?
Russia doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to bring the Ukrainian war to an end. Why should they when they are winning against successive proxy armies by sitting back behind chosen defensive lines and pulverizing whatever the Ukrainian’s and NATO send out onto the fields of slaughter? Within the first few months of the Special Military Operation the Ukrainian Army that NATO/USA had been training and arming ever since the CIA Maiden Coup in 2004 was essentially decimated. Complete loss of its air force resulting reliance upon US satellite surveillance for communication and targeting. Loss of the majority of its trained and loyal military personnel.
Any rational national leadership would have recognized the inevitable defeat and negotiated whatever national salvation could be obtained from the circumstances. But the USA made it clear to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy that that wasn’t an option. They sent disposed British Prime Minister Johnson to Z with a simple message He would be assassinated by the Wolves within his armed forces or if he tried to flee to his Miami mansion the CIA would do the job.
So the War entered its Second Phase. The USA poured 100 billion +++ dollars into the Ukrainian Black Hole to keep the laundromat for the US Deep State and its paid politicians (AKA Congress Whores) in operation. Whatever was left over went to hire mercenaries from Poland and all over the world to fight in place of the decimated national Ukrainian Army. Nato scoured the world to strip its members and any other willing country of all its old Soviet era armaments and send them to Ukraine via Poland.
So why should Russia be in a hurry to end the Proxy War? It recognized by the actions of the USA and EU over the past decades that the real threat to it’s existence is/was NATO/USA.
Treaties with the USA have little more value than toilet paper. The only course to Russian national survival comes through building a defensive system so superior and so effective that no enemy dare attack it. Once that defensive system was in place and a last ditch MAD offensive system developed they could turn their attention to de-fanging NATO and rebuilding the circle of de-militarized borderland countries that had traditionally served as a barrier to ever being invaded again at the cost of 20 million Russian lives as had happened in WWII.
So Russia sees itself in the third phase of the Special Military Operation.The goal is to eliminate NATO as a military threat to its existence. (It’s former enemy, Germany, now has an National army of only a few battalions and most of their arms have been shipped to Ukraine so Russia could blow them up.)
Mission Accomplished!
Germany. Leave NATO, close all the US air bases, rebuild the pipelines that Britain and the USA blew up, and you too can return to prosperity built upon a reliable energy supply, There are thousands of newly rich Russian millionaires in Moscow who would love to be able to buy a new Mercedes or Porsche.
Bernard at MoA says that the Russians are moving. But it’s not the ”march on Kiev” that westerners have been predicting.
It’s a move to liberate the rest of Zaporizhzhia. I think that’s a good idea. Stop those assholes from shelling the nuclear power plant. I wonder if the assholes from the UN IAEA will be forced to admit that it was the Ukies all along once the Ukies are removed and the shelling stops.
Nah. They are under the thumb of the neocons.
Germany is refusing to send tanks to Ukraine still.
The US is rolling out the beginning of a Color Revolution in response.
Who would have guessed that Sholtz would hold firm?
@ ThorsHammer;
I think yours is a good analysis–though I’m not sure you’re saying what I think you’re saying.
If Russia is able to gain control of the Donbas and the entire northern coast of the Black Sea, and the remainder of Ukraine is defanged–unable to mount a military attack or resistance against either Russia or its newly subsumed territories, and also unable to attract enough men and materiel from elsewhere to be a threat–then Russia will have achieved its primary goals.
Russia will be in a position to both protect and develop the Donbas and the entire northern coast of the Black Sea, and enjoy the economic fruits of this enterprise, and the remainder of Ukraine will serve as the needed buffer zone between Russia and NATO.
Honestly, I don’t think this would be too hard to achieve. It won’t be long before there are no Ukrainians left to fight, and no Poles or mercenaries who will sign up, for any amount of money. I also figure that most of the money flowing into Ukraine is being laundered back into the pockets of Congress, and most of the military equipment is being sold off to the highest bidder, and THAT money is being laundered back into the pockets of Congress, the MIC, and a few select Ukrainian political figures.
So I think this war will devolve into even more of a pretense than it already is.
The biggest problem, it seems to me, is that Ukraine has been largely depopulated. This is some pretty high-value agricultural real estate. Someone here posted that a lot of Ukrainian land has been purchased by a couple of multi-national corporations, presumably for agriculture. Maybe they figure on doing only highly mechanized farming of wheat or some such, and they would just as soon not have the bother of operating in a country with a population.

Yes, you did miss the key point of my mini history. Russia’s tactics and goals have not remained static as it has fought a proxy war with NATO/US on it’s southern border. When he first began what he called the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, Putin the diplomat believed that facing certain defeat, Ukraine would choose to negotiate some form of arrangement that would allow Ukraine to continue to exist but pose no immediate threat to Russia. It could continue as the poorest country in Europe with the most corrupt leadership class still able to siphon off whatever wealth remained and keep opportunities for carpetbaggers like Hunter Biden intact.
Whatever his hopes for achieving a diplomatic conclusion from the Special Military Operation that would meet Russia’s minimal security needs, Putin was mistaken. The events of the past year have demonstrated to the Russian command that the only way to achieve security for the future is to defeat and disband NATO while somehow avoiding or surviving NATO’s last gasp resort to using nuclear weapons.
The Russian Army is not the same token force sent into the Ukraine as the Special Military Operation a year ago. It has been placed on a wartime footing and radically expanded by calling up reserves with prior military training. The command structure has been re-organized and instructed to build a national army of a million and a half men to win any land war that NATO could throw at it.
But the best way to disband NATO is from within, not on the battlefield. Germany is the linchpin of the entire European alliance. The USA may pay the bills and send wonder weapons that maximize the MIC profits and are useless in real war, but if it should have to fight an actual war on European soil the Europeans would have do do the suffering and dying. Germany has a choice: continue on a path to national suicide, or accept the fact that the USA sabotaged their national lifeline by bombing the Nordstream pipelines—an actual act of war. Leave NATO and close the American air bases in retribution, rebuild their energy supply network and return to prosperity.
Russia has won the first two stages of the Ukrainian conflict, the first by demolishing the Ukrainian national army, and the second by checkmating and slaughtering the mercenary armies paid for and supplied by the United States. They have decisively won the Sanctions war and emerged with no national debt and a booming economy, while the USA has acquired 30 +++ trillion dollars in un-payable debt and has it’s underclass living in tents under freeway overpasses and mainlining death drugs.
Russia has moved on from 2014 when their goal was to have the Minsk Accords accepted by the Ukrainians and enforced as agreed by the Germans and French. They have no intention of looking back or relying on any more pieces of paper signed by Americans.
ps: Most of the most premium farmland in the Ukraine is located in the three northern obelisks which are now by popular vote part of Russia. How much do you think that the titles to tens of thousands of acres “bought” by Monsanto and Carigill are worth once the last Ukonazi wolf is eradicated by the new owners?
Before a “Gerald Ford” can become a factor, there must first be an ‘Operation Agnew’ performed upon Ms. Harris.
Not if “Joe” is removed first. Then the insane Kameltoe moves up a rung, and you can park Mike Obama or the Chappaqua Cackler, Cankles, in the VP office. (As an aside, wtf is it with all these Democrats who cackle uncontrollably all the time? Are they insane? In drugs? Members of a secret coven?) Anyway, they could well have Gov. Grusom ride to the rescue and save leftist America with — more leftism!
Somebody has been hanging out at MoA. Jim, do you post there? Damn there are some fine writers.
As I’ve been saying, no need to concern oneself with the emotional rollercoaster. Russia is going to solve the world’s problems all by itself by destroying the reserve status.
MoA?

This is the bar where the political financial intel congregate
Early 1920’s song lyrics by Bertolt Brecht tune by Kurt Weil. Moon of Alabama is indeed where the cool kids congregate – and here of course at clusterfuck nation.
The song itself is pure genius – a discordant minor key with a march rhythm. Strange and yet alluring.
Use “moon” in the song title, you got a darn good chance of getting a hit, in general.
Kurt Weill.
He was a classically trained working musician.
Collaborated with Bertolt Brecht.
He was married to Lotte Lenya.
He wrote the songs for The Threepenny Opera, the most famous of which is Mack the Knife.

@ brushjockey:
Moon of Alabama. I asked what the hell that meant a few weeks ago.
@ mitchellc:
I can’t help but look forward to the dollar’s loss of reserve status and, as a result, becoming worthless–or pretty much so.
For one very big thing, this will destroy the federal government’s hold on the states. One of the biggest reasons that states won’t secede is they don’t want Uncle Sugar’s gravy train to be cut off–for medical care, education, transportation, etc.–the cutting off of which would put half of almost any state out of work. Even Social Security recipients like myself will not care if the feds cut off our SS when the monthly check is worth about 75 cents. (As it is, Medicare seems to want to give me money. And I actually have a little money, for the first time in my life. Too bad it is soon to be worthless. But I guess it was nice while it lasted. i guess it’s lucky I don’t eat much.)
Anyway…. When the dollar is worthless, the states will start thumbing their noses at federal mandates. Corporations (I would hope) will say, “We are going to start building cars that people can afford, so screw your federal requirements.” And they’ll also start mining coal and maybe even drilling for oil, once things settle down at a much later date. (I’ve read that oil wells and refineries simply can’t happen without stability. They are very expensive, and no one is likely to gamble that kind of money by investing it where the political situation is unstable. Thank you, Karl Denninger!)
The feds will find it a bit difficult to enforce federal laws and regulations if they can’t pay their thugs and stooges.
” A page turns. The coup is finally over.”
If only it were so.
The coup is about to happen. Look at The Speaker, there is a reason why so much energy was expended on ensuring McCarthy’s election.
He is a tool of the WEF.
Davos will have its very own Hegemon.
I for one am getting good and damn tired of this particular Fourth Turning. For me and lots of other it started on August 29th 2005, and for these past 17+ years I’ve just been getting increasingly ground down. Strauss & Howe forecast 20-ish years, so it’s got to be getting close to a wrap soon, right?
So if a page turns, odds are it’ll be some sort of relief for it to happen. Even if it’s the Sword of Damocles finally getting around to dropping. That leaves only one more time I’ve gotta jump out of the way.
But the revolution comes next and it will not be televised.
So true! The irony is that without electric or internet or transport, we will be in the dark, left guessing what might be happening beyond the scope of our personal vision. Maybe ham radio? Or lanterns like Paul Revere?
Indeed. What a difference between what we have with the internet and what we will have in the future.
And from my own experience, even seeing an event in person doesn’t give you any insight into what caused it, who the players are, or even what the hell they are doing.
It just looks like a mess.
>>Maybe ham radio?
Yep, ham radio has a mode called Slow Scan TV. These days you can put together something with nationwide reach for $1000, maybe $1500.
Spoken words and text are great and all, but the impact of an image is off the charts.
What happened on Aug. 29, 2005?
Katrina.
Oh yeah. Thanks.
The response to Katrina (or lack thereof) made for an incredible opportunity for some observations on human behavior under purposely controlled conditions. The “calvary” was held back on purpose.
1) Let’s see, 24 hours with no food, water or power – fairly adequate supplies shared with neighbors – neighbors helping neighbors.
After 48 hours – supplies dwindle, keep what you’ve got – people getting edgy.
After 72 hours – looting, taking from others, chaos – societal breakdown.
Noted: 72-hour threshold – the oft spoken “9 meals” – and society breaks down & becomes uncivilized.
2) Blackwater – the government’s private security contractor at the time, illegally going door-to-door, confiscating legally owned weapons.
Noted: Those within had no choice but to give up their legally owned weapons. From those without? Not a peep – no one the NRA included, coming to help their own.
3) People, realizing the calvary wasn’t coming, spontaneously started to self-organize on highway medians. Setting up community encampments, defensible because of long lines of sight, women organized to cook & manage children, teens watching younger kids & camp security, men went afield and resourced & salvaged.
Noted: These people with the nerve & audacity to become independent of the authorities & self-reliant are a threat to the system. Consequently, these encampments were immediately busted up & dismantled by the authorities.
4) The area – a large swath of the Gulf Coast became a militarized zone. Even contractor’s coming in to assist & rebuild, required to pass thru armed checkpoints, far off from NOLA proper.
Noted: People will accept a militarized zone, if it’s sold as being for their own safety (and be happy?).
Yes, Ron, and it showed me the power of propaganda again.
On Monday I read that the Red Cross were not feeding the people in the Superdome because if they fed them they would not consent to evacuation.
I went to work and told my co-workers that. No one believed me. They thought I was talking crazy conspiracy talk again.
But by Friday everyone had accepted that it was necessary and right to withhold food and water so that people would voluntarily get on the buses.
Unfuckingbelievable. And yet…..
Paula – if you want some Indepth stories on the Katrina response, read archives of a blog – From the Wilderness, by Michael Ruppert, which had almost hourly updates of the response to Katrina. At the time, I probably read it hourly.
I followed Ruppert religiously and whenever he was over a target, I wanted to see what he was looking for, so I’d pay close attention – rapt attention.
Michael Ruppert was a genius, next-level thinker when it came to gathering and processing disparate – many times on purpose – sources of factual information, and seamlessly connecting the dots (not unlike JHK and I’ve told him so).
His book Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, published in 2004, lays open 9/11 – the truth & indisputable evidence of those involved. The most fascinating, footnoted & documented book I’ve ever read.
Ruppert was ahead of his time – a seer – and I believe in it for no other reason than to expose the truth (not unlike JHK and I’ve told him so). Catherine Austin Fitts was a regular contributor to his blog in it’s heyday – first I’d heard of her, and her talented intellect.
Ruppert took his own life in 2014, and conspiracy theories whirled – he’d made lots of enemies, so plausible that it wasn’t suicide, but I personally think he’d had enough. To be able to see things clearly is both a blessing & a curse, and sometimes the aggregate of what you’ve seen becomes too much.
RIP Mike. He’ll remain legendary in my book. Check him out.
OK, one last Katrina chuckle, then I’ll let it rest.
Somewhere there is video of a live onsite press conference with Dick Cheney in the militarized zone. There’s a podium and he’s flanked by National Guards with M-16’s – a kind of deserted area.
A guy comes out of nowhere, riding a bike and gets within about 30 yards and yells, “Fuck you Cheney!” – you could hear it plain as day. Now that’s an American Hero!
Yes, Ron, I read the book Crossing The Rubicon. All the people on this blog who insist that oil is a never-ending resource should read that book.
But I didn’t know about his blog until after he died, so I didn’t read about Katrina except bits and pieces.
I do believe that Navy Seals blew up the levees though.
Paula – I agree on the Seals and the levees – a little domestic “shock & awe”, which was in fashion at the time, under the Cheney/Bush regime. Added another variable to their little tabletop exercise.
We have turned the page on something. I just don’t know what.
I think the something is the undermining of the proletariat with a land grab of private ownership of homes and farm land. Bezos is one of the biggest land owners in Texas, Gates owns the most farm land and land, and its’ ability to generate rents, is the ultimate source of wealth.
And control too — if you own a property and someone is living on it without paying rent or your permission, the local sheriff is issued a warrant to throw you off. If you get a a chance watch 99 Homes, based on what happened in 2008 to people who could no longer pay the mortgage.
And a way of starving the population if that becomes one of the goals. Farms are being destroyed in the Netherlands by government confiscation and Ukraine by bombs. Both are fertile lands with competent farmers.
In Australia they are trying a different tack- they are trying to give land “back” to Aborigines, knowing damn well that the impoverished people will put it up for lease or sale to the highest bidder, such as Black Rock or China.
NZ’s Ardern will be compensated for her excellent job of destroying her country’s economy under cover of a cold virus. She will go to work (openly) for Black Rock, which will benefit greatly from the opening she has given them.
She has already been over in this country meeting with them and talking about economic development, remember?
I didn’t know that and it doesn’t surprise me. The Aborigines are the perfect front man b/c anyone who opposes this land transfer will be a racist and easily destroyed in the media with shrill accusations that “whites want to keep people of color impoverished and subservient!”.
As the pandemic unfolded I was pretty amazed at how good the governments in Australia, NZ, Canada, Europe, the US were at quickly implementing totalitarian procedures. What I’m hoping is that with this show of force and ill will, people won’t be as easily cowed when the next stunt is sprung on us.
Yes, thus the importance of not only accepting but rejoicing in the White Conquest and Defeat of the Indians over here.
You know that, right?
Once again, Jarek, I do not know what you are talking about.
The same thing is being done here as in Australia, Beryl. How do we stop it? By not being ashamed of the conquest. Clear?
Huh….my kiwi friends say otherwise about your fantasy of ‘destroying her country’s economy.’
“In Australia they are trying a different tack- they are trying to give land “back” to Aborigines, knowing damn well that the impoverished people will put it up for lease or sale to the highest bidder, such as Black Rock or China.”
Same as what happened in the former Soviet Union. What was given to ordinary people ended up with the oligarchs. Or ‘made’ the oligarchs.
Part of the reason the US overthrew the government of Ukraine in 2014 was to get Cargill’s hands on the best farmland in Europe.
And the reason the US will not let Ukraine sue for peace is that the more dead Ukrainians, the better for Cargill, Monsanto, ADM, etc.
“The last Ukrainian” dead is their dream, as Lindsey Graham stated.
I read (and don’t know if this is true or not and don’t have the article saved) that one of the first new laws in 2014 was to allow Monsanto’s GMO seeds which, prior to the coup, had been illegal.
Monsanto is a family farm! I was told that by a garrulous, old woman once.
Paula D . . .
If that were indeed the case [farmland], then the U.S. State Department’s orchestrated 2014 Maiden ‘coup’ was FUBAR.
The best agricultural soil in Ukraine is called ‘Chernozem’. There are several different grades, with the ‘lion’s share’ located in south & southwest Ukraine. [check it out — Chernozem, on Ukraine soil maps]
As luck would have it, those areas now are under the military control of the Russian Federation. ** Ooppss! **
Additionally, the best Chernozem of all is located in the Donbas — two former Ukrainian Oblast’s [states]. ** Ooppss ! ** They are now part of the Russian Federation; voted themselves in! All the best of the former Ukraines’ farmland is east of the Dnieper River. ** Ooppss ! ** you guessed it!
Good soil however! Even before the ‘now-failed’ ‘coup’, corrupt Ukrainian “businessmen” were stealing the Chernozem soil, loading it into rail cars, and selling it off to the highest bidders, all well before Zelensky became famous for playing the piano with his penis.
Perhaps ADM et.al would be better suited to contact the many U. S. DOD staffed bioweapons labs in Ukraine for extra work, since the farming thingie won’t be working out; some of the 31 in total will remain located in western Ukraine; Lvov, for example.
But . . I digress
Well, that certainly explains the 250,000 Ukrainian troops entrenched in the Donbass.
They were ready to enact the final solution. 10 million citizens needed to be killed so that the coup government could hand over their land to US agribusiness.
And then Russia screwed up their plans by stepping in to protect the people of Donbass.
Doh! No wonder they are screaming in fury.
. . . Paula D
“And then Russia screwed up their plans by . . .”.
Right.
14,000 citizens of the Donbas had been killed after the takeover of Kiev by the Nazi regime in 2014, before the Russian Federation’s Special Military Operation began on February 22, 2022.
After months of foot dragging by Antony Blinkin and the U. S. State Department pertaining to security guarantees against further Ukrainian military attacks on the citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts [the Dombas], The Russian Federation’s ‘General Staff’ [military] ascertained in mid February that a large attack by the Ukrainian miltary against their own citizens in Dombas was imminent.
As it turned out, the Russian Federation decided to take the offensive only 2 days before the planned Ukrainian military offensive
Unfortunately, *that* specific situation has now been amplified to the point of being a proxy war between the combined west [USA, NATO & the EU] and the Russian Federation; all by decades- long design.
To Wit: “Down to the Last Ukrainian”; meaning, it has nothing to do at all with the welfare of the people of Ukraine (despite ALL appearances to the contrary on MSM).
by far the largest owner of farmland in ukraine is china—me think you doth protest too much
Happiface . . .
“by far the largest owner of farmland in ukraine is china . . .”
OK. Let’s try this…
The largest current land ‘ownership’ of *any* type, pertaining to the territory which formerly comprised the country of Ukraine — as the result of their ‘Special Military Operation’ which commenced on February 22, 2022 — is the Russian Federation.
SW,
I just watched the trailer for 99 Homes. Wow. Just wow. I’d never heard of it though I’ve been in real estate since 1999 as an agent and 2003 as a landlord.
I don’t use mortgages anymore (thank you Dave Ramsey), I don’t trust them. By making it about a monthly payment, buyers are seduced into buying more than they should and financing it for longer than they should. Most buyers trust the lender when s/he tells them how much they can “afford”. What a buyer can afford is just a mathematical model. It doesn’t allow for junior’s expensive sports hobby, or contributing 15% of both incomes to 401ks, or saving up for a larger emergency fund, etc. Buying at the top of what you can “afford” is a recipe for disaster, eventually.
So why get rid of Biden, then? He’s doing a great job of destroying the WEF’s arch enemy, the US.
He will take all the blame. They still fear Americans rising up against them.
It was always the plan for Biden to leave as soon as his unelected replacement becomes eligible for two more full terms.
The new dictator will not have the destroy part of BBB as baggage.
The MSM will portray them as heroic for patching up some of the damage.
Beryl -seriously???
Firstly, you’re betting on Biden not lasting his term. Why?
Secondly, you’re saying that his putative successor will win the next two elections. I assume you mean fraudulently? Is that now embedded doctrine? Oh, right. Even JHK has metatsticised that particular infection too. Funny, I thought he’d stated he “allergic” to conspiracy theories…but that was then. Clearly not how things are now.
That is because the bug conspiracy theories have all been shown to be true.
” metatsticised”
Ouch. And from an ‘infection’ too.
Double ouch, indeed.
Justice is blind? Gotta treat ’em the same. Two birds, one stone. Good for the goose good for the gander. No one’s above the law. Take your pick.
Yeah…we’re just completely destroyed! It’s just amazing. eyeroll…
@ riverrunner:
Well, as for being “completely destroyed,” I suppose you’re used to that. Spiritual destruction is a prerequisite for being a liberal.
A person has to achieve an extraordinary state of personal degradation to advocate for the cornerstones of liberalism: lies, theft, fraud, slavery, and murder.
Anyone else notice that the angriest the Rinos have ever been wasn’t over two stolen elections, the open borders or the Ukraine mess? No, it was over Matt Gaetz and 19 others challening McCarthy’s God-given right to be speaker. That’s a teachable moment.
Maybe instead of “weakening Russia” costly arm sales and military aid combined with the exposing the flaws in NATO armament will “weaken the United States”
While we’re busy sending $100 billion in arms and other stuff that can be converted to cash to the crooks in Ukraine, our kids are hungry:
“Congress ended the free-lunch-for-all program in June, reverting to a system in which low-income families had to fill out paperwork to qualify for aid based on their income. But some families have been left behind because they do not understand the application process, and others are rejected because they do not qualify. A family of four must earn about $36,000 a year or less to qualify for free lunch.
Schools often feed these students, requiring them to pay later and creating a debt many families cannot pay down. For some children, the debt can get so big that schools stop giving them a full meal.”
There’s a $19 million debt for unpaid lunches and the kids who owe money get a cheese sandwich. Our priorities are so screwed up and kept, for the most part, from public view. JHK is right — more and more people see thru this tissue of lies as they look around at reality.
SW,
Well, the Situational Awareness reported something similar, suggesting that the WEF was partly undone by Musk buying Twitter….
“While the outcome of the battle over globalization vs. deglobalization will not be resolved during this week’s meetings in Davos, the WEF has lost control of the narrative they once controlled through their alliance with Big Tech, mainstream, and social media. That all changed with Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. The result? WEF members and leaders are, for the first time, facing major public pushback against their Great Reset and global governance agendas:
The clips I’ve seen of the WEF meeting have a strange undertone of desperation. Al Gore and John Kerry look like old degenerates and Schwab does a better impression of Dr. Strangelove than Peter Sellers. They probably all have damp Depends thinking about Musk in control of Twitter.
Tyrants always live in fear. Does that mean they can’t or won’t win?
Uh, no.
“Depends” on where you draw the finish line.
Look like? You’re too kind…
Weakening Russia by making them laugh themselves to death. Now they are going to send the entire inventory of the West’s heavy armoured fighting vehicles so that the Russkies can destroy them. If Covid was the moment when ordinary people went insane; Ukraine is the globalist’s moment to shuffle off towards the loony bin. Unbelievable delusion.
This is the war to end all wars. All the militaries of the world will destroy themselves there, and good people (like you!) will then live in absolute multi-racial peace – much like the pictures in the Jehovah’s Witness books.
Lol…. Like the pictures in the JW’s books. Good one.
Your strength, Jarek, is your predictability. My regards to the Beerkeller!
Perfect, Hereward. I love every word of this.
That is a win win for companies like Northrup gruman and Lockheed.
Get rid of old inventory and develop new and build back much better.
All those weapons being sold in Ukraine will end up provoking yet another military adventure for the U.S. “Somewhere”?
I’m not so sure. More military adventures… the supply of weapons, which are physical items, can’t be hypothecated similar to some financial instruments and schemes.
It could be tried, but it does take time to manufacture the weapons, which includes amassing the raw material and having a skilled work force to both make and use them.
A declining empire will come up a bit short in this regard.
It doesn’t preclude some manner of ‘last hurrah’, which might involve flipping over the game board.
Flipping over the game board is the big danger here.
They are crazy enough to use nuclear weapons, they have made that clear.
I’m glad that Putin has a level head and a cool character.
Putin, love him or hate him, is the only statesman on the Planet at present. However, even the Russians have Red Lines which they will not allow to be crossed by the West. The neocons are crazy enough to do something like take on Crimea and Putin will almost certainly go nuclear if they do. The only hope here is that Putin finishes off Ukraine quickly and presents the West with a fait accompli, the Euros tell the neocons where to go, or the neocons are kicked out of DC and all power.
Paula D . . .
The ‘Game Board’ was flipped over while everyone’s attention was fixated upon Davos and the WEF:
“On Friday, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley gave a briefing at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where they pledged the United States to the military defeat of Russia.
Milley announced the commitment of the United States and NATO to “go on the offensive to liberate Russian-occupied Ukraine.” He repeated that Ukraine would use NATO armored vehicles and tanks to go on the “tactical and operational offensive to liberate the occupied areas.”
With this declaration, the entire prestige of the NATO alliance has been staked on the reconquest of all Ukrainian territory, which, according to the United States, includes both the entire Donbas and the Crimean Peninsula.
. . . “Game On.”
Holy shit.
I can’t believe they are doing this.
But no one believed that WW1 would commence either. Surely our ruling overlords are not that crazy, right?
Wait. What?
Ukraine will use Humvees to invade Crimea?
Yeah….right.
I get why the Russians are putting anti-aircraft missiles on top of government buildings in Moscow though.
There is the bullshit they spew for the public, and then there are the actual plans of the batshit crazy neocons.
Always remember and never forget . . .
A civilzation in collapse cannibalizes it’s infrastructure. (including dead military armament)
. . . has *already* destroyed it!
[Film at 11]
America is ripe for a military strongman to step in to save the republic.
The deep state is not a monolithic block, there are numerous factions some of which are in play right now. I expect the final showdown to be between the military/security faction and the wall street faction. The M/S faction will win and put one of its own forward as the saviour on a white horse.
For entertainment, watch Caesar’s speech to the 13th Legion from the HBO series Rome. Look for it on YouTube. It’s a masterpiece of rhetoric justifying extralegal action to “save the republic” while destroying it. I imagine hearing something similar when America’s military strongman takes power.
Pray for America, its people deserve better than they are getting from their leaders.
Actually it the people ‘deserved better’ they would find someone with brains and vote for them. They don’t, Americans think civics is a consumer product and they want it on sale. I say America is getting exactly what it deserves, and I don’t like it any better than you do.
M/S is in charge though most people don’t know it. M/S however does the bidding of the equestrian order, and is sure to make a mess of things.
And all we can do is enjoy the show.
I recall the strongman was also forecast in the Fourth Turning.
But all we have are soy boys.
Voting went away. The game is ballots. Voting was a little rigged. Ballots are the new game with many more rigging possibilities.
It’s early for the ‘military strongman’ argument to show up here in the comments…..tell us readers.. …who might that be? Flynn? LMAO!
Lt. Col.Douglas McGregor (Ret.) throwing his hat into the ring as an Independent would please Tucker.
He has made more sense regarding the Ukraine fiasco than anyone MSDNC or CNN has on.
I think most Americans and most Europeans deserve exactly what they are getting. If you fell for the jab scam, you deserve nothing better.
Do the children deserve it as well?
Will they not grow up distrusting and despising those who betrayed and poisoned them?
Recipe for accelerated breakdown.
The children deserve smarter parents and absolutely do not deserve the jab. The members of the military deserve smarter (and braver) commanding officers.
Far too few parents stood up and said, “My child is not taking this experimental gene therapy.”
Far too few commanding officers stood up and said, “My men and women aren’t taking this experimental gene therapy as long as I’m in command.”
Agree wholeheartedly; unfortunately, they will not grow up.
Yes, it’s absolutely justified. The Republic died a long time ago. No one ever mentions it. We’re a “Democracy” – even though the Founders loathed Democracy, rightly seeing it as mob rule.
Would it be good or bad? It all depends on the quality of the Emperor and his men. Some of the Emperors of Rome did a fine job.
When asked what kind of government they had given us, he replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it.” We didn’t. So we have to move on.
The idea of only a relative few – the qualified – getting to vote was antithetical to the egalitarian American ethos. It felt wrong! Feelz not realz.
And who woulkd that be? Milley with a Praetorian Guard of trans cross dressers in skirts?
I can picture them sashsaying across the tarmac and then squealing when they see mud.
“I am triggered!”
Big boobs bouncing as they wobble along in five-inch platform heels. I think a bunch of them would be in “transition.” There’d be a lot of bulges under those skirts.
The Bouncy Balls and Boobs Brigade.
Live in fear, Russians!
Isn’t “military strongman” an oxymoron?
Are you insulting Admiral Rachel Levine?
How dare you!
Did you ever wonder why civilian employees of Health & Human Services- related agencies have military-grade titles??
Hell, the CDC is a private, for-profit entity holding patents; Admiral’s too!
@PaulaD – have no idea how this comment ended up here. I commented upthread to a remark that America was due for a military strongman.
As to the Admiral – if the shoe fits….
I was just joking, channeling Greta.
General Berger,USMC has hinted it might be him but not convinced–if it is him nobody will take on the Marine Corp,nobody
USA needs a strongman? Pete Buttpounder: “Hold my beer!”
Biden has no clue, but who does. American politicians are bought and sold. We have nobody for the history books.
Thank you cowbell81 for the encouragement last week. I hope you like this week’s installment.
You voted for Biden, took the fake vaccine, promote the WEF puppets like Thunberg, and believe CBDCs are more consequential than credit cards.
Woof.
*no more*
Woof, woof.
Fuck you Night Owl. I DID NOT VOTE FOR BIDEN.
And you think everyone is a WEF puppet, as if anyone is really in charge of this puppy.
Most everyone here can figure out I went third party, what is your problem. Don’t answer that.
No Biden?
Just (as documented here) CBDCs, Soros, the WEF agenda, and the fake vaccine?
I see I have truly erred in attacking a man of such high principle.
….don’t forget tracing. Or tracking. You know, to “stop the spread”.
Hahahaha! His Greta campaign from this past week was a scream. Sounded like a teenage girl crushing on Shawn Cassidy’s pic on the cover of Tiger Beat in the 70’s.
Thunberg is persona non greta…
Greta got me looking into the open pit lignite mines in Germany. I found them on Google Earth and read some articles.
And now the reason protesters and police both fudge the protest numbers makes sense.
The Iron law of electricity means because Russian gas can’t be burned to boil water to turn turbines to light LCD screens so Night Owl can wank, brown coal will have to get him off.
Germany has survived on brown coal for decades.
This is not new K-Dog.
But you are not very smart.
“Most everyone here can figure out I went third party”
Bwa ha ha.
I reckon most everyone here skips your comments!
Your concern for the indigenous is pure communism 101. We defeated them. We’re living on conquered land. You too, hoss!
Except you, clearly. Fool.
Bob Avakian or his proxy then?
Bob is a psy-op.
But if you do want to walk around in grey pajamas for no good reason he is your man.
Me, too. 3rd party. I’d never vote for that demented crook Biden (or Trump). Every 4 years I get one shot to say what I think about 2 lousy choices. I reject both and never play “lesser of 2 evils”. It doesn’t matter. They’re all beholden anyway to Big $$.
I enjoyed the 3rd Chapter very much, thank you!
“A dozen fresh jungle slaves shackled on benches in her hold. Ignoring this, a high water mark for the human race, it is. The first word. Pleasant, understood by both north and south.”
Interesting and so true, even in the next world after civilization crumbles there will still be human slavery or bondage, and there will still be weapons to use against fellow man. Some things will never change, and eventually the arc of history will return to the point where everything when FUBAR.
Love the Fauci connection here, very creative:
“Flora and fauna originally created in Anthony Fauci Foundation Labs before the great collapse severed human connections across seas, green the land in both places.”
“Danyl is our captain. Chosen as captain because Danyl has a background in theater.” –> Probably the only instance where a liberal arts degree will pay off in a future world.
Nice: “The current emperor orders medical care and good treatment of slaves. He orders slaves eligible to be free at 10 years if their social credit score is high enough.”
“She does not want to become president — and, guess what, nobody really wants her to be, either. She won’t even have to be induced to step aside. Her hysteria will be so great that not even the hypnotists of the Intel Community will be able to calm her down. She’ll run shrieking from it back to California.”
Yes.
Enter stage left, Gavin Newsom as the next Deep State candidate for President of the US.
He does fit the WEF Global Young Leaders profile: totally vacuous, never held a job in the real world, dodgy educational record, hates ordinary people…
. . . and uses hair gel too.
Gavin is certainly the logical choice but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone from Congress was drafted to bridge the gap while the candidate for 2024 was being groomed. Or if Biden is forced out, give Kamala all the xanax she wants and have her read from the teleprompter just like her boss. Who knows? And Biden (against all odds) may hang on.
He’s very much like WEF puppet Turdeau, that is for sure. They’re practically clones of each other. Hell, maybe they are…
McCarthy may be a tool of the WEF (Do we know that for sure?) but that does not guarantee anything.
Is there a clash of the Titans going on in the world, and in DC (which in a way means the same thing)?
No one laughed when MLK said “I have a dream,” so I see no reason why JHK can’t also have a dream! I sure hope it comes true.
Meanwhile I detoured to the gallery page of recent paintings.
Some sober winter scenes and some lovely spring scenes at Shushan (sounds Japanese . . .). Take a look!
Russia declares war on the Straussians.
httpx://www.greanvillepost.com/2023/01/13/russia-declares-war-on-the-straussians/
Is there a clash of the Titans going on?
Always, money makes it so.
A war against the Straussians will certainly be no waltz. Sorry, long day at work.
Tools often don’t know that they are tools either.
That speech was plagiarized. I hope you’re laughing at King now at least. The first statue of him made him look Chinese. The second lauded his record as a sex addict.
MLK, RFK and JFK were all in a contest to see which one was the most addicted. (Of course Jack had to leave the competition early).
LBJ just gushed, “Aw shucks! If I were 20 years younger, I’d beat all yew kids together with one nut tied behind mah back!”
Hoover tried on new lipstick colors while listening to the bugged tapes of all of them gettin’ after it.
Addicted to what? Sex? John got a headache if he didn’t have a new girl every few days.
LBJ, when he had a few under his belt, was known to drop trow and slap his “Johnson” on the table, inviting others to compare. Apparently, he was unbeatable among his coterie. He was vastly proud of it. Poor Ladybird. I understand he used to come home late with a bunch of his drunken frields and make her get up and cook for them.
Milton Berle was reputed to perform the same act, for visitors.
“Ain’t she a beauty?”
They were the first Alphabet People.
You’re saying that Johnson was a Crypto?
The Phonecians were the first to get the alphabet.
Ya finally got Russia right. I don’t think Kevin McCarthy will be much better. DC is infested with Wetiko, a.k. mad emperor disease.
Yep. McCarthy is acting tough because Gaetz et al scared the sh1t out of him. He’ll soon revert to type.
You win CFN for today.
DC is infected with Shabbez Goys. McCarthy certainly is one of them.
He who hath ears, let him understand.
I once heard the Colin Powell could speak Yiddish since he came from a family of such servants. Can’t confirm it though.
It’s “unravelling,” it’s “falling apart,” it’s “collapsing.” That may be evident to those who are awake, but what about the masses who aren’t? Is the “collapse” being broadcast by MSNBC? CNN? The New York Times? As long as the gates of truth are guarded by the media mafia, average Joes will never be the wiser. In a rare moment of lucidity, Richard Nixon was correct when he said, “Americans don’t believe anything until they’ve seen it on television.”
Hear, Hear !! Nothing will change until the unwashed masses run out of cheese doodles. At least here in the great usa. The most washed body part since the covid show is the brain. Plus, if your paycheck depends on you being brainwashed, guess what. Lets not forget normalcy bias, either. The next 20 years will be the same as the last 20 years. If only. Here’s to me, wishing I was still blissfully ignorant…….
Yes, the NHL has sprung the trap (long since prepared) and going woke. Hardcore fans (utter losers in other words) will realize the betrayal and just switch to watching college hockey.
Nah….the loser fans will just drink more bad beer and start wearing rainbow paraphernalia themselves.
And I bet college hockey went woke already.
John K and steppingup are tied for the truth…I can’t stand being sober…
Yes and no. History shows that the majority is nearly always asleep. It is a creative and dedicated minority who make the changes.
And what does that tell you anent the legitimacy of Democracy as a system?
Show your work. Your premise is not only valid, but true, now put forward a thesis.
It tells me that it is preferrable to a rule by a tiny cabal of elites.
The beauty of democracy is that most of the low-IQ unproductive types not only don’t work, they also don’t vote.
No, enough of them both work and vote. Those of little learning who think they have much. Or just know what’s in their own interest – or think that they do.
It all comes down to a small group of people. They have to be good. Small groups in every town, county, city, state, hamlet, and nation. That’s true decentralization. Many small groups of good people cooperating, like the organs of a body to create a larger order, a Nation.
That will fail, but maybe only for a time. Maybe it can reconstitute, though probably in smaller and more homogenous forms. New nations on the North American continent. Any reason Whites can’t have a couple of their own?
The problem is their votes are for sale. All you have to do to get a low-IQ unproductive type to vote is give him a red hat.
Jerek, You just need to move to Svalbard.
When the torrid zone splits the world in half and life on the equator is fatal, not only will Svalbard be a tropical paradise but EVERYBODY WILL BE WHITE.
Since humanity will be confined to live only in the north and south polar zones everybody will get six months of darkness.
Vitamin D deficiency (rickets) will breed anybody with dark skin out of the population. Charlie Darwin style.
The process will take about 2000 years but rest assured. Plants and animals for new jungles will come from Anthony Fauci Foundation Labs. Where the jungles can grow it will be far enough north that natives with spears will have white skin.
You and the ghost of H.P. Lovecraft can relax.
You do realize that there is no pure form of democracy in the West?
The closest would be what they have in Switzerland, where they can hold direct votes on legislation to keep their leaders in check.
I tend to be of the mind that those most active politically tend to be those who are most engaged in their communities.
This is partially why so many elections were stolen over the past few years. The WEF crowd could never have gotten much of their agenda through if people were informed and asked to vote on said agenda.
Good choice. Svalbard, the Cold Edge, is where the greed seed vault is located.
I don’t have a thesis, Jar, but I can guess yours: Uncle Dolfie to the rescue!
Yes, you have no idea or ideas. At last you admit the the truth.
At this point, I don’t think it matters whether the masses notice or not. As far as I can tell (based on the sheep I know personally) they have no idea anything is wrong except that the junk they buy costs more than they’d like – but that’s Trump’s fault!
A few are beginning to blink confusedly as the light shines in their eyes. The route by which the truth begins to appear is, for the moment, the disappearance due to “Sudden” of relatives, friends and co-workers. They’re resisting this truth, but it’s becoming increasingly hard.
In any event, that which is going to happen has too much momentum now to require their attention or awareness. They’ll notice when their lives are directly and drastically affected.
I’ve been listening to a radio station aimed at a younger demographic lately.
The other day I heard a commercial, a young woman was speaking in a sing-song tone with a valley girl accent. I thought I heard her say she was an MD.
I also thought I heard her recommend a covid shot to pregnant women.
I checked with a younger woman I know listens to the radio in her car a lot. She had heard the commercial as well. Her first thought was “who would listen to her?”
Yes, she was telling pregnant women a covid shot was the best way to “protect” their baby. I heard the commercial again last night.
She also offered the fact that she delivered a healthy baby as evidence that women should get the shot.
This is the propaganda people are hearing day in and day out.
The facts about the shot are way past the point of being alarming, it is terrifying.
Oh, and commercials are being run for life insurance based on that new disease, “sudden death”.
I kind you not. The lead-in to the commercial I heard was something like, “My brother-in-law died suddenly”.
Beryl, it’s fascinating in an awful way to see these two messages – “get your perfectly safe vaccine NOW” and “22 year old X died suddenly . . .” – co-existing in the same world. You would think one of these (and it’s obvious which one) would quickly and thoroughly destroy the other. The fact that it doesn’t happen is an indication of how thoroughly it’s possible to protect oneself from a message that is unwelcome. All you need do is consume an hour of nightly news from the mainstream media as your sole source of information.
Still – I think that won’t be possible for much longer.
Over here in Euroland, no-one is questioning things. But no one is taking the boosters either, and the governments are planning to incinerate millions of unused face mask. Some weird kind of cognitive dissonance is going on.
Joe and Jill’s Christmas message was Get Vaccinated!
And now there’s this:
“Several new government- and industry-funded studies are underway to develop mRNA vaccines for livestock, part of the massive expansion of the animal vaccine industry projected to be worth $26.12 billion by 2030.
A peer-reviewed study in the journal Viruses last year reported, “The successful application of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 has further validated the platform and opened the floodgates to mRNA vaccine’s potential in infectious disease prevention, especially in the veterinary field.”
Citing the need for biosecurity, in September 2022, the New South Wales (NSW) government fast-tracked the world’s first mRNA vaccines for foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy-skin disease, in a five-year multimillion dollar deal with U.S. biotech company Tiba Biotech.”
So now the livestock will get mRNA shots and humans, being at the top of the food chain, will be eating meat that’s been treated with this gene-therapy. Maybe crickets aren’t such a bad idea.
Those cricket patties will have some unlabeled ingredients, I’m sure.
You think they won’t do the same with cricket meal?
We’re already consuming GMOs.
Chitin the exoskeleton of insects will destroy people as it is very high in gluten.
Insect ingestion in large amounts will equal a very sick population.

I am on a Columbia Jouranlism Review “media” email feed, which I generally ignore. But today’s article, on Davos, is actually fairly interesting.
The CJR seems to stick to the Overton Window of the parameters of debate, but this article shows a few cracks in the glass . . . (No mention of the Ardern melt-down, however)
You can read it here:

LOL.
You consider yourself to be so superior – in mind, language, money & gas-guzzling vehicle appreciation.
You pontificate, incorrectly, on things of importance but then totally pull your own rug out from under you with the holding of such deranged ideas as displayed here.
Can you not see why so many people simply cannot take you seriously (viz Rulo, a truly sharp mind and accomplished writer) and find you excruciatingly painful?
@rl
Who takes you seriously?

@rl
Talk about someone not even understanding how little they bring to the table themselves.
The “feed”? That makes you a consumer.
Mr K, I don’t understand your confusion about Uncle Joe in The White House. Everyone loves a puppet show. The next deep state actor to steal an election will be Gavin Newson. If used car salesmen had a pet used car salesman it would be Gavin” I’m going to throw in the floor mats and poly seal because I like you guys” Newsom.
If Newscum succeeds to the presidency at any future date in history, forget about the 16,000 IRS hires. He will bring in 50,000 EPA agents to comb the land and ensure no one is using an ICE to mow their lawns, boat on the lakes, blow the leaves, etc. At that time, hell will certainly cover all of what remains of America.
Calm down CB….you people are just ridiculous. You’re already foaming at the mouth with your faux-outrage and it’s only 7:25 am.
I was wondering how long it would take before we heard from you this morning…..
Stop feeding the troll you ****ing imbecile
Why is it even here? It just hectors the other posters.
Wasn’t it 87,000 IRS agents?
And IIRC, the Repubs under McCarthy claim they are rejecting the entire thing.
It should be at least that many.
Yes, the fools already told Americans they can’t drive diesel trucks with engines older than 2010 but they do not enforce such rules on trucks coming from Mexico literally at times held together with rusty bailing wire belching poorly tuned diesel smoke and particulate into the air.
The closer to the border you get the more you see of these rust buckets rumbling down the road being poorly driven and cutting everyone off with minimal brakes.
It is a sight to behold unless you happen to be unlucky enough to be stopped in front of one.
And jabs will be mandated and doctors and nurses will lose their licenses if they spread any misinformation or disinformation regarding the jabs.
He is a slick tyrant.
Falling apart by design, according to the plan.
All of the crises occuring are the making of politicians paid by a cabal of banksters and psychopaths meeting right now at Davos.
None of these crises cannot be reversed. They are as artificial as Bill’s Beyond Meat.
And it’s being done by Communists or Capitalists? The latter. What does that tell you about Capitalism in its mature or ultimate form?
It’s a bus. You get off at your stop – the Top! Competition is a sin, always was. That’s the little guys, the rubes. The Carnies never believed it.
So after they fail (if they do), in a World System 2.0, how would you keep the gremlins from reaching this ultimate stage? Show your work.
I went to school for political science, Jarek. I am well aware of what is going on.
What you refer to is unfettered or pure capitalism, which really doesn’t exist, since most countries have mixed economies and protections against overreach from our corporate masters.
That said, over the past 20 years or so, we have seen many of these protections disappear, and the corporate lobbyists have done their best to destroy any semblance of balance.
So it wasn’t real, but it’s becoming real! A horror show in slowmo.
Thank you for agreeing with me without being obsequious. I’ll need men of your mettle beside me in Fimbul Winter.
Those behind much of what we are experiencing want a Technocracy rather than capitalism in its pure form — or any form.
Capitalism has served its purpose. They’ve gotten off the bus now. And they commandeered it long ago to take them to this very stop.
Are we going to ever let this happen again? Or are we going to get schmart, and go National Socialist from the get go.
Moving the chairs on the titanic as Kunstler regurgitates the same column as last week and the week before that and the week before that. Particularly hilarious is his first paragraph and the one about Obama…..kinda interesting that JHK didn’t seem particularly interested in the grift going on during the Dumpy years when it was blatant and out in the open.
Well, golly, Riverrunner, I’m not taking attendance here. There are a gazillion other blogs out there. Find one that edifies you. —-JHK Admin
JHK…over the years has become a three headed monster…part Alex Jones, part carnival barker, part Dinesh D’Souza…..maybe I missed it but it’s only a matter of time before he mentions he’s become an evangelical Christian.
Oh, this one is pretty edifying. Appreciate the suggestion.
You didn’t get that you have been politely invited to go home now and not come back?
Islander…why so afraid of pushback?
You don’t provide push back just nonsense and troll fodder.
Not even a witty response.
There’s a difference between saying someone is full of shit and explaining in detail exactly how they are full of shit.
Riverrunner is unable or unwilling to back up his charges with even the most superficial evidence. That is what distinguishes someone with an opposing viewpoint from a troll. In this case a very lazy troll.
Unless abusive or deliberately & persistently aimed to disrupt, dissent is healthy – lest this blog becomes a small, closed Club (it’s close).
A few commentators have been ‘disappeared’. Others, like D Schicko (??) have modified their on-line behavior to conform to directives to ‘behave’ and that’s sad; I appreciated & was amused by his accurate grammatical corrections.
As a frequent reader of this blog for years – since our Host was politically slightly left of center (and it did take a while for reality to intrude) I do note a more …no, a slightly more, censorial attitude creeping in.
I don’t think that’s a good thing.
Left of center a little further left than that at one point, he now appears right of center.

Check out Al Gore’s unhinged rant as well.
Al is acting like he believes that climate change stuff, still.
Did you watch the clip?
It’s hilarious.
Guy is an absolute nut.
None of the stuff he mentioned in An Inconvenient Truth back in 2008 has come to pass. According to him, the polar ice caps have been gone for 9 years now.
😀
I took that movie somewhat seriously when it came out. But I grew up at some point and decided to investigate many of the various climate and resource-related claims made over the past few decades.
Turns out not a single major claim ever came true. Almost as if they are used as a mechanism of control.
Night Owl, I didn’t see the movie but when it came out I thought it was possible, just not all that likely. When I saw the “hockey stick” was when I started think gee maybe there is something to this global warming, but as I learned more, I learned that the hockey stick was dummied up for purposes of alarm.
If you have to lie, you don’t have a case.
We’re still colder than than the late Roman era, where grapes were grown in parts of Britain that can’t be grown now.
The emails caught them trying to explain away such inconvenient truths, to present a simplified and false model.
Having said that, there is a successful wine-growing sector in the south of England, including local ‘Champagne’.
It’s obviously not big, but there are around 770 vineyards in the UK (even a teensie contribution in Wales) and 165 wineries. I don’t think they were around when I was a young’un, but I wasn’t a wine drinker back then, so I don’t know.
NO, if you have time check out the article by Wallace Manheimer.
Neatly sums up all of the failed projections.
So, nice to have on hand.
I just sent it to the new “communications and research” fellow at the local planning commission. Also the local planning board.

Thanks, Islander.
“It has somehow managed to convince many that CO2 in the atmosphere, a gas necessary for life on earth, one which we exhale with every breath, is an environmental poison”
It is amazing how simple the core lies are.
Much like Covid-19.
Jarek – The emails caught them trying to explain away such inconvenient truths, to present a simplified and false model.
Mentioned this years ago to a family member with a doctorate who works in academia. Pointed out how that kind of undermined the scientific community on the topic, no? He got noticeably frustrated and replied, “Oh come on, that was just one guy. The data still holds.”
Sigh.
Islander, I checked out your link to the Manheimer paper.
Of course, I noticed two typos in the first two sentences of the abstract.
Much like YouTube videos on sensitive topics with terrible text errors in the first few cards, I suspect that these were inserted intentionally by an editor before publication to instantly discredit the material. That’s how it’s done, folks. Bummer…
Like a street lunatic, only better dressed and fat.
Bringing up the climate at the peak of the Roman Empire or the Medieval Warming Period, or the Little Ice Age is always fun when debating with climate change types. The official narrative never mentions these warmer and colder periods as it destroys the narrative. Did an increase or decrease in co2 cause them? They always look baffled.
He is making money hand over fist on this scam.
Just listen to Al Gore speak he is a brick.
The planet has a feeeeVEEER.
what was gores rant?
Same as it ever was.
Al Gore goes on ‘unhinged’ rant about ‘rain bombs,’ boiled oceans, other climate threats at Davos
https://www.foxnews.com/media/al-gore-goes-unhinged-rant-about-rain-bombs-boiled-oceans-other-climate-threats-davos
He goes unhinged did you hear his bombastic response when GWBush won his election against him in Florida?
He was screaming about election fraud.
Whatever happened to all those polar bears Al Gore worried would die of heat stroke?
Al Gore led the US team at the Kyoto Climate Accords, where he pushed through an exemption for the US military.
Also he turned the environment over to the Wall Street gamblers with the cap and trade scam.
He has a lot of nerve to show his face in public.
Blair went to the same prestigious medical school as Bill Gates, so you ignore his medical advice at your peril. 🙂
OMG Brian “Lyin’ Brian” Wiliams’ hard-hitting interview with Tont Blair over Britain’s support of the US in Iraq- at the end of the interview, Brian asked Anthony a REAL QUESTION!
Williams: what the heck does Iraq have to do with Afghanistan?
Blair: After 9/11, I took the view that everything had to change.
Yes that really happened. A question was asked, a politician said some unrelated words, and the interviewer just dropped it.
I would say ‘unbelievable’, Beryl, but, strictly speak, that wouldn’t be true!
speaking, even.
And he’s now a Knight of the Garter, an honour that is one of the few bestowed personally by the monarch, not via Parliament. For services rendered. Again, unbelievable.
“The U.K.’s Department for International Development partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to fund livestock vaccines around the world.
That partnership included a $40 million grant in 2017 to develop new livestock vaccines. Gates Foundation funding to CGIAR, “global research partnership for a food-secure future dedicated to transforming food, land, and water systems in a climate crisis,” continues to focus on shifting livestock producers from using antibiotics to vaccines.”
Gates and Blair and Gore all met at vet school I believe where they decided to save the planet and destroy people they didn’t like. And make lots of money.
Bourla, of Pfizer, is a vet.
Pfizer used to specialize in veterinary medications.
Maybe that is why Bourla so easily sees humans as a herd of helpless animals, to be culled.
Twat. A 17 second clip. Where’s the context? And I see you still Twitter as your main source of information? Like I said…twat.
Twitter is not the source. Twitter is the 3rd party through which the clip, sourced elsewhere, was distributed in this case.
As so often, the level of stupidity in your post is truly impressive.
Night, I once worked in a hospital in London during the early 1990s. As I was pushing a trolley along, who stepped towards me but Tony Blair. I didn’t know much about him at that point. But what I remember is having this incredible urge to stick out a foot and send him head over heels down the nearby stairs. It was so weird, as I knew already how evil this guy was going to be.
That does not surprise me, Hereward. You seem like an intuitive guy based on your comments.
I’m waiting to see how those Bradley Fighting Vehicles stand up to the Javelins that got sold/stolen to/by 3rd parties.
I think the term “Crispy Fried” applies.
They won’t even get to the battlefield on time. It takes a long time to train soldiers to use them. The Lebanese army is still trying to make them work 8 years after they brought them. Oh, and they’re garbage.
I think it’s a story akin to the Ford Edsel, designed by committee.
The Ford Edsel was better armoured.
Yesterday, and rather unbelievably, Tucker Carlson narrated the modern history of the deep state and its actions to depose Nixon, the most popularly elected president.
Step by step, he detailed how Nixon was aware of the CIA’s role in Kennedy’s assassination, how Nixon prematurely revealed his cards to Helm, how Nixon was set-up by former CIA assets and members in the Watergate fiasco, how the deep state used a lowly WaPo “reporter” and an FBI man “deep throat” to reveal the story to the public in an effort to deceive the public, remove the Nixon threat, and install an unelected former member of the Warren Commission in his place.
Tucker goes on to lament unelected bureaucrat “lifers” usurping our democracy.
Yet he withholds. Who are these lifers? These agency heads, these deep state scions?
They are the redactions. The prominent families. The blue-blood elites whose descendants are still entrenched and still in the running.
They need the right people at the top.
It is very easy for one, even barely paying attention, to arrive at the conclusion that damaged goods Biden is about to be jettisoned.
“We do understand how “Joe Biden” won the 2020 election…”
Some even understand who engineered it, allowed it , orchestrated it, and provided cover for it.
All to keep an outsider who was not trusted to play be their rules. Not enough at least.
It shows you the power of pride.
People refuse to believe they have been duped and living in a charade for so long. Our country tis of thee and all that
“Our country tis of thee…”
Our chastisement is too.
Did he also forget to expand on the cook county election fraud that stole a previous election from Nixon and caused the watergate scandal in the first place?
The election that put Kennedy in the Whitehouse in time for him to get lead poisoning and then put the second most corrupt resident after Biden in the Whitehouse?
LBJ was the most corrupt, racist, foulest, crudest, nastiest, most degenerate man to occupy the resolute desk ever.
“LBJ was the most corrupt, racist, foulest, crudest, nastiest, most degenerate man to occupy the resolute desk ever…”
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-voting-democratic/
benr,
No, no you got it all wrong. He did not say he’d have the niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.
…Cause it was “fact checked by Snopes”…a site you can trust. And there is no visual or audible proof.
What he really said was. “I really respect those people of color…decent, honest hard working core of our civilization…I’d like one of them to marry my daughter.*
* Maybe…who knows?
In response to a question about who LBJ wanted as a running mate, he replied “I want a man whose dick is in my pocket, I want somebody who will kiss my ass in a Macys dept. store window and come up saying it smelled like a Rose”. That was LBJ.
That used to shock us.
Now I for one wish a few of our politicians had the balls to trash-talk like LBJ.
We do by golly, I remember sock puppet Biden leaning over O’bamas shoulder as brother Barry was signing the ACA.
Biden said into a ‘hot’ mic. “this is a big fucking deal”…national live TV, FCC should have fined him for being that stupid.
Pity Mike Pence was still in short trousers back then…
You want to relitigate the 1960 Election now? Is their no end to your utter tripe?
Just pointing out facts you ignore.
Democrats have always cheated in elections always and at one time Republicans were thug enough to do so as well.
Then something happened and Republicans quit fighting back and tried to become mild mannered old men who lost and lost even when attempting to gerrymander there way to wins.
Tucker…the guy who freaks out over the color of m and m’s. Good source of honest information.
Poisoning the Well is your very favorite fallacy.
You overuse it though. It gets tiresome.
Yeah he seems stuck on the M & M’s thing.
At least with the fat ones you get more candy!
Because Tucker is a fucking tool that makes his audience dumber and dumber….he’s just a grifting gaslighter.
Fool not even close he is talking about things other media types won’t touch and knocks it out of the park more often than not.
The only real fools in the bunch are the ones eating up leftist group think and regurgitating them like hair balls all over the place.
You know progressive scum.
Pul-lease don’t feed the trolls!
Feed or starve they still post their tripe.
The tape of Nixon and Billy Graham whispering(!) in the oval office about the Jewish takeover…..
Bernstein and Woodward, Deep State operatives who became “journalists” to take Nixon down.
I think you’ve covered all your usual themes for today, Jarek. What do you think about animal husbandry?
All you have is your adolescent prejudices that you picked up from “schoo” or watching football games.
That’s why you’re Wokey the Chimp.
@Edgelord – I found that Tucker Carlson episode very enlightening. Of course over the years a lot of truths have come out about the Watergate break in and resulting resignation, but I did not know the part about Bob Woodward not being a journalist. I can’t remember his exact rank but seems as if he had been in the Navy and was assigned to Nixon.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
No Q yet? Sleeping off the hangover? Or working on your ‘certifications?’
OMG, seriously. Are you a paid government troll of the deep state. Apparently, you don’t have much better to do than pick on us posters here that are trying to convey critical information on the downfall of humanity and how to survive it.
My guess is that you are living in a Blue city penthouse apartment, leeching off the trust fund proceeds left to you by your next of kin who recently departed due to the clot shots.
If he is a government operative, then they need to start training their kind better.
Years here under various handles and he would appaer to have no friends whatsoever.
*Golf clap*
And the two denizen retards are feeding it again. Even more pathetic. Giving it the attention it craves.
Well done RR, I’ll give you that.
It has been going on for years. As if it matters.
Why thank you. Eager to please.
I remember Asoka – aka “the Soaker-Hose”.
He’s a very low-level government operative. Probably works from a cubicle.
Is there a block feature on this site?
Keep trying CB…keep trying! Wrong on all fronts. A trust fund would be nice though.
Nahh, he’s just a communist from Pittsburgh, incapable of making a viable contribution. Ignore him. He won’t go away but he lives for angry responses. His purpose in life is to interrupt those who are capable of making a point.
’… trying to convey critical information on the downfall of humanity and how to survive it.’
Fuck…! I’ve just realised you’re actually SERIOUS when you say that..! Awh, lawfy-lawdy!
Maybe she got caught posting at work. That kind of thing happens.
Brietbart comments about Hall of Famer DC
James Miller PenobScot15 hours ago
I also loved their music but Crosby was a jackass. And living for 20-30 years off of a borrowed liver… he had nothing to complain about.
Crosby burned through 3 livers, his own and 2 more.
Redtang James Miller15 hours ago
And hated conservatives with a passion.
Roughly 15-17 yrs ago, I was listening to KLOS-FM. David Crosby was doing a 1 hr interview with host Jim Ladd. The interview started out light and interesting but at some point he took a dark turn and began extolling the virtues of communism and his absolute hatred for Conservatives.
I got sickened and changed the station. Until then I was oblivious to any musicians political beliefs. Funny, David Crosby and I are distant cousins as we share a common grandfather a few gens back and are both related to George Washington but we are light yrs apart in our thinking
I met him years ago when I was in high school. Not his best moment. I was visiting a relative in rehab. Crosby was doing a court mandated stretch. He was walking around the common area in pj’s and a robe. Hadn’t even combed his hair. He was downright scary looking. Scared me straight for sur
The clot shot is ridding the world of Communists.
So perhaps there is an upside.
If only we could get it into the arms of the Davos set.
Shots in arms! Shots in arms! The Shot heard round the world. To arms!
You’re almost there. Since Capitalism funds Communism as an offensive wing, I suppose you could say that the Capitalists are Communists, but it’s better to say the Communism is Capitalism since Capitalism is the dominant partner, and both the material and efficient cause of it.
The Final or Ultimate Capitalist Order will have elements of both – namely Capitalism and wealth for them, Communism and poverty for us.
It (the capitalist banksters in this case) does that right now, but not always.
It does whatever is convenient, often putting eggs in a variety of baskets.
@NO – and speaking of eggs I read this morning that they are now being smuggled over the southern border. Can’t make this stuff up.
“with two cats in the yard…” of course he was meandering outdoors in his PJ’s
It’s a rule. People with multiple cats are inveterate unkempt slobs.
Graham Nash wrote that song. Stills and Nash were the great songwriters in that group. Crosby’s efforts were mediocre at best.
Has he ever combed that hair?
With a balloon probably.
Woke,
Excellent!
Bing?
Some interesting background on ol’ Crosby in David McGowan’s “Laurel Canyon” series, that is for sure. And what a psycho he was.
Not to mention a cokehead scum bag smelly old shit bag. And not a real musician.
Bing’s son? Bing was a real son of a bitch too.
As I recall, per McGowan’s Laurel Canyon Crosby was big on drawing Satanic symbols on the walls of places he dwelt.
Crosby gets a mention in John Kay’s autobiography for threatening to kill John Kay. I would have paid money to watch John Kay rip Crosby a new one…
He also liked to get out guns and threaten people with them. And he may have shot some folks.
Clearly a Trump 2020 Supporter!
He “shot some folks” sounds more like Obama.
LOL, Paula!
The whole group fared pretty badly. Michael Clarke on drums drank himself to death, as did the guy who actually banged the tambourine. Crosby went mad. The dubious price of fame.
Heavy drug use especially the marijuana.
Sadly, this could be our next First Lady – they must be stopped by any means possible:
“Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, founded The Representation Project nonprofit to fight “sexism through films education, research and activism.” Siebel Newsom writes and directs “gender identity” films produced through her for-profit operation, Girls Club Entertainment, that are then licensed by the nonprofit to public schools.
“Newsom’s films and curricula are saturated with images lifted directly from pornographic websites, their URLs visible onscreen,” Andrzejewski added. “Minors are exposed to social commentaries about privilege and oppression, and one commentator says Americans need to ‘express shame and sorrow about who we are and what we’ve done’ as a society.”
httpsXX://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gavin-newsom-s-wife-s-films-shown-in-schools-contain-explicit-images-push-gender-ideology-boost-his-politics/ar-AA16y6S3
They just can’t leave the children alone, can they.
BTW Newsom ordered covid shots for every other twelve year old in his state, if they wanted the education they are entitled to. When asked if his own daughter got the shot, he made up some story about a nonexistent series of different shots she had to get first.
As far as I know, no one has followed up on that and asked him whether she got the shot yet.
Didn’t he get the shot and have half his face go blank?
Some here said as much.
He disappeared from public view for a few weeks after his booster. He even cancelled his participation at some international confab in Scotland relating to climate change. His office did an absolutely ham fisted job of answering questions about where he was. He resurfaced at some “fireside chat” on Nov 11-ish, 2021.
Alex Jones said he had mixed a different booster from his original vaccines. Steve Kirsch said he had Bell’s Palsy. And I think Rogan said he had Guillain–Barré Syndrome.
I also seem to remember that it was rumored he was vacationing in Mexico near a hospital that is renowned for treating one of the above mentioned disorders.
Newsweek fact checkers say this is all absolutely false!
Beryl,
“BTW Newsom ordered covid shots for every other twelve-year-old”
I submit that most of the cognoscenti, the elite, our betters, etc. have never had any shot other than a show shot with nothing more than saline in the needle.
All I can say is I’m thankful it won’t be his ex, Kimberly Guillfoyle.
And then there is this-
Russia has opened a criminal case against a United States citizen on suspicion of espionage, its Federal Security Service said on Thursday.
The FSB did not name the person or provide any other details, nor did it say whether an arrest was made.
I hope it’s something really embarassing….
Russians as a people still know how to endure.
That’s the biggest advantage that Putin has over the West…..A tough population of badasses who know how to survive just about anything.
I just wish they’d reproduce more. Come on Russkies!! Get busy!
I would be very happy living out a life in Vladivostok with a beautiful Russian bride. If only it was that easy, we could raise a nice family and help populate the Motherland with a new generation of strong Russian-American hybrids.
Vladivostok. I hear they have surfing there. But it’s damn cold.
You can combine it with ice skating.
Hey CB…let’s see you offer up some more of that fine winning ‘poetry’ as an offering to your favorite dictator.
Did the thought of Putin bare chested give your little mushroom a little rise?
Sounds like Little House on the Steppe.
That’s why Russian White Nationalists hate Putin: he doesn’t favor his own people. He doesn’t hate them the way our Elite do. But he just sees them as Russians – but no more so than Tartars, Kalmucks, Chechens and a dozen other savage Caucasian and Mongolian groups.
And Putin hates them. Thus many of the Azovs were/are ethnic Russian White Nationalists.
There are MILLIONS of Muslims in the Moscow area alone. Brought in to “work”. And of course they outbreed the feminist Russians. It’s madness. Can such a thing endure?
Poor emasculated men need a savior….amazing it’s a small pudgy white guy.
Is that you describe yourself in a reflection?
Tell me are you also wearing crotchless panties and garters?
No never mind I am pretty sure you are into such kinks and other assorted weird stuff.
They just acquired 8m more people – from Ukraine.
Another excellent posting, Jim.
But I disagree with your final thought. The Presidential ascent of Kevin McCarthy would not be the end of any coup. He’s deep state to the bone. Of course, most of the anti-Bidenites don’t see this and will rejoice as if we were all just freed from the globalist cabal.
I agree that Hunter may have a wish (subconscious or not) to sabotage Dad. I read somewhere that was the second laptop he “lost”.
And how about Joe’s shower partner, daughter Ashley Biden? She moved out of an apartment and left her hand written diary behind. Simple carelessness or a cry for help?
As with Hunter Biden’s laptop, the esteemed MSM claimed the diary was a fake until they couldn’t maintain that narrative anymore. And they have the gall to lament the public’s lack of trust when they are caught deliberately lying time and time again!
I just pictured a chorus of nuns singing “How do you solve a problem like Kamala?” Who remembers the movie? How do we dispose of her highness, the border Czarina who couldn’t find the border if you shoved a ship’s compass up her ass……. And that’s probably not the oddest thing that’s ever been there.
I like that ” problem on-purpose” term.
That’s what our government, at least at the federal level, seems to do nowadays, and all they have been doing for a long time now.
How much better off would we be, if we just pruned back say 99 percent of the federal government, and then cut the remainder down to size?
Like any office holder stepping outside the Constitutional limits placed on their branch gets kicked out of any office, or public employment, forever?
I can hardly believe we are reaching this point, the PTB are certainly trying to divide and conquer us. We all need to stand up against the real enemy, which is the current political institution in this country and the deep state.
Article Excerpt follows:
FBI: Neo-Nazis targeting nation’s power grid
White supremacists and neo-Nazis are increasingly targeting the nation’s power grid, warns an FBI memo obtained by Oregon Public Broadcasting and outlined in this story Thursday. The story comes after a string of attacks on power substations in Oregon, Washington State and elsewhere last year that resulted in widespread power outages.
“The individuals of concern believe that an attack on electrical infrastructure will contribute to their ideological goal of causing societal collapse and a subsequent race war in the United States,” the memo states.
Extremism experts call this philosophy “accelerationism.” It’s based on the concept that attacks like these will “accelerate” the approach of dystopia and speed up the coming race war.
The OPB investigation confirmed 15 attacks on power substations in the Northwest alone.
Are there any violent, right wing extremist groups in America not led by an FBi plant? I doubt it. Where have you gone Ray Epps, the great unindicted instigator of Jan 6? Think we don’t know who pays you?
At one Klan meeting, all the attendees were Federal agents. They laughed and just went home.
The YMCA literally stepped on its collective dick recently because an adult male pretending to be a woman was showering naked running around while a minor female was showering.
The director of public relations and communications made it worse by smirking and not acknowledging this was a serious error on their part.
Nothing happened but the 17-year-old was given a tutorial on what a man unrobbed looks like but she complained, and it is now turning into a very serious PR problem for YMCA.
Young men Christian Association has fallen very far from its roots as of late and people are now protesting in front of the Santee branch this happened at.
My family has personally cancelled our 70 dollar a month subscription in protest.
This LGBTQ nonsense has moved far beyond basic rights to pushing a crusade of indecency down the average Americans throats and specifically trans nonsense.
Enough is enough.
The YMCA also ran some camp in Julian where they took children into cabins and made them choose what gender they believed they were girls to left, boys to right and confused unsure in middle.
Why is this part of their camps and when did it become OK. to push a sick agenda?
Whatever happened to the YWCA? We didn’t have these problems then.
We should bring the YWCA, but this time it stands for “Young White Christian Association”. In the future all humans will be young, and through mindfulness and bodily enhancements no one will really grow old.
Yes. Rescue it from being the Young Woke Communist Association that it is now.
Now you’re talking. America was by Whites, for Whites. So much so that it was hardly ever written down. Didn’t have to be. Thus it wasn’t tied down. Thus it was stolen.
CB, Jarek, and Mick a kkk match made in heaven.
“In the future all humans will be young…” Yeah, but they won’t be Christian, so just YWA.
Actually, they won’t be white either, so just YA.
Good question. Did it suffer the fate of the girl scouts – who begged the larger boy scouts not to let in girls? Of course the girls wanted to show how much better they were than the boys and their mothers were on board. One girl became an eagle scout in record time – impossibly so – proving that the whole thing was a hoax, like women in special forces.
The poor girl scouts were just feminists and Marxists, having fallen to the darkness long ago. How could they compete with the new Woke? One is reminded of poor Stalin trying to keep the Jews from absconding to the Capitalist American sphere which had given them Israel. Stalin gave them an Israel sized chunk of land in Siberia! Needless to say they weren’t interested.
An 80 y.o. woman in Washington state was thrown out of the YMCA when she complained that a male employee (who identified as a woman, therefore a protected class) was in the women’s locker room helping little girls undress.
Women held a rally to protest and antifa showed up to harass and attack them.
Police stood across the street and watched.
Don’t tell me this agenda is not coming from the top.
YMCA is now: Yiddish Marxist Cultural Association.
You are full of it, Mick.
Why thank you Bean!
har har
Why are women at YMCA’s when they have their own YWCA’s? Riddle me that, Batgirl.
Tell us where all the YWCAs are, Jarek.
Ha! Sorry didn’t see you post before I posted similar.
I’m not a Christian, but they are bang to rights on this one: this is satanic
I agree.
About what?
Is Bob Woodward Jewish btw?
You know the answer.
No, I don’t. That’s why I’m asking. There are signs that he was, but it’s not clear, at least not to me. Obviously Bernstein was. And probably Deep Throat (Felt) too.
And if he was?
Just more evidence of who was behind the coup. But you haven’t been noticing, have you? You don’t not miss much.
There was a bigger incident months ago where an 80 year old woman was showering at her YMCA, heard a man’s voice and peeked out only to see a trans-identified man undressing 2 little girls. She complained and was kicked out of the YMCA for life, after having swum there her entire life.
But yeah, the LGBTQWERTYUIOPS don’t have more rights than anyone else…
The woman who was kicked out just happened to be an activist. I think her name’s Julie. And she was at a couple of rallies calling out the YMCA. Sadly, it was in a town with a self-described (and proud) pervert for a mayor, who hates women almost as much as Jarek. So during the event, women were attacked by incels/Antifa/TRAs.
YMCA’s track record at this juncture is abysmal.
I could not agree more with you, my friend. And it is long past time that we burn this evil Queer / Homosexual / Dyke etc etc etc they can use the entire alphabet as far as I’m concerned because they’re all mentally I’ll besides being evil.
And they are that, they are flat out evil. It’s long past time that we stand up to all of them, no matter where we live. I have to admit, here in the very NW Part of Montana, 5 miles from the Canadian border, up the YAAK RIVER ROAD.
Where the pavement ends, and the county dirt road begins all the way to the border crossing which there’s nothing there. Our little school That I went to and my wife, and all 4 of our grown boys, none of this evil horseshit has ever infected our little school.
I can assure you of this. If it ever tried to rear it’s evil head, boys like ours, like I was and my cousins was, when they went to school, even today boys would BEAT THERE ASS!!!
Because there’s not much up here except mountains. Up here, we have more grizzly bears and wolves, than we have people. This part of Montana is considered not only the most remote in the state, but also some of the most remote outside of Alaska. Up the Yaak River Valley.
Jesus, get an editor meathead. Or a thesaurus so you can find a synonym for “EVIL.”
But evil is the correct word for pushing off a destructive lifestyle is normal and cool the deceiver is indeed evil.
When I think about all the things that the most dangerous political party in American history, and that is the democrat party, pulled on Donald Trump and everybody that has worked for him and anybody that has been associated with him, to quote an old line from an old movie, from someone that died December 12th, 2013. Tom Laughlin that starred in Billy Jack.
that me and my little brother set in the theater back in those days and you could do that and not leave the theater after paying only $2.50,
A-piece.
The first day we watched this same movie over and over 4 times. The next day, 3 times. When I think about all the lies, they spun against Donald Trump, and about all the wars that his administration would start, and how they did everything they could to stop his administration from securing our southern border.
And everything that they put Lt General Flynn through. Everything they cost him. And I don’t mean just financially. But I mean emotionally and spiritually. And also when I look at what they did financially cost everybody associated with him, and to this day,
What this administration has done to the FBI and turned it into. And the, almost nazi style investigations. Back to back. And showing up at certain non-violent elderly men’s houses with over 50 highly armed twitchy fingered pieces of scum FBI So called agents,
(thank God, several men that have left the agency that took part in several of these raids have turned whistleblower and can’t wait to testify in the investigations that will be coming forward.) And all the things that they have done since usurping the White House.
“And this little girl, who is so special to us we call her God’s little gift of sunshine, and I think of the number of years that she’s going to have to carry in her memory… the savagery of this idiotic moment of yours… I just go BERSERK!”
I mentally, almost do that. I have loved this country with all my heart, and I am one of those that voluntarily joined the military. I served and I was almost as proud of my time as much as my father who came out of the greatest generation, and went and fought under General Patton and slugged it out from Italy all The way through up to Germany.
He live long enough to see how much this country had changed, and he absolutely hated it. He hated what happened to this country. From our schools on down. And to the boys of our Nation.
Before he died, a couple years before that, he said, “ there’s no way I would let you go and die for this piece of crap country if we had another war break out like we did back during WW-2.”
So many things this godless political machine has done to our government into our nation is absolutely evil. EVIL.
MontanaMan, it’s heartbreaking to know that your father felt that way – and with good reason. Disillusion is one of the most painful things anyone can endure.
I’ve come to think of this country as similar to other entities that are wholly corrupt at the top, but still full of honest and honorable people who do genuinely good things even within that context. One of my relatives was a nun, the mother superior of a convent. She spent her entire adult life caring for the sick, owned nothing, and wanted nothing for herself. Yet – the Catholic Church, of which she was part, is (I believe) absolutely corrupted at the top.
Whether we realize it or not, we’re all somewhat in the same position. If we act with honesty and integrity, but within a debased system, are we serving the system unintentionally or are we unknowingly rebelling against it?
Whatever the answer, I think any entity – church, government, corporation – eventually becomes corrupted in exactly this same way as sociopaths bit by bit chip away at protections against tyranny as they seek and obtain power. Periodically, they have to be purged. It’s never pretty.
I agree, Rowdy. This country has some really great people in it, but the rulers are immoral scum who are destroying everything our ancestors built.
Until most Americans quit identifying with their owners, though, nothing will improve.
Stubborn resistance to their edicts and crimes is the only tool we have right now.
I get satisfaction watching them scream in rage about the fact that I simply refuse to submit to their injections, refuse to support their wars and refuse to go along with their Woke bullshit.
Keep spreading the message of resistance to tyranny. Maybe most of the stupified zombies will never achieve consciousness. But some seeds you spread will eventually sprout.
Agreed.
The Marxists must be crushed and this mind virus wiped out. Everyone agrees on that, right Paula?
Crushed how?
Another failed night of the long knives?
Marxists and Fascists. Both different sides of the same coin.
Right, Wokey. That’s why they fought each other. Oh, and which side were the Capitalists on?
What an utter fool. But yes, in the company of hundreds of millions of other fools so you “feel” fine.
MM, you Montana born? Whaddya think about that Hollywood piece of crap Yellowstone? I remember a bumper-sticker from the 70’s .
“Don’t Californicate Montana”,
too late, it’s a done deal….
California is mexifornia. whites to be a minority.
That’s quite a legacy that your father fought under Patton. My favorite Patton quote: “May God have mercy on my enemies. Because I won’t.” I wish we had someone like Patton to show no mercy to those in power who have corrupted this country.
Yet he felt very bad for the outrageous persecution of the German people after the war. “It’s not Aryan”, he said. He never made it back to spill the beans.
Many elderly British veterans lived long enough to regret their service in WW2. If they had known that their government was going to turn Britain over to the 3rd World, they would have never gone, they said.
Even Churchill had enough decency to try and stop it, but the fool had outlived his usefulness and was just shouldered aside.
try to not try and.
he never mentioned the holocaust in his writings, did he?
Nope. But he did give the cause of WW2: Germany’s refusal to renounce sovereignty in favor of Internationalism. They threw the Banker Princes OUT. That was not going to be allowed.
Our host’s delightful fantasy will doubtless not come to pass, but that’s not to say that some of it won’t. I share his hope that at least a few things can get better and we can see some of the miscreants meet the fate they deserve.
Who knows what will emerge from the inevitable collapse? Why assume that it will be something unspeakably awful? In my own little, poor, rural part of the world, there are extraordinarily good people with all kinds of skills. You won’t see them on social media but there are more of such people than most of us can imagine. Even among those I consider sheep, there are good people who are just naive and trusting. Once awakened, no one knows what they’re capable of?
I humbly apologize for the question mark. Should have been a period.
Humility is a great virtue, if only there was more of it in American society these days….
But only when balanced with pride. And in the warrior caste, with ferocious pride and aggression. The sheep have to follow the right shepherd, not the slaughterer but the shearer. Since they can’t tell the difference, they must be made do so. Thus the war is between the good and bad shepherds.
Lies are more attractive then Truth, thus in a democracy, the bad win. I can’t write advertising copy like Rulo can – I admit that. His piece on the glories of women was a fastball right down the middle. That it was most lies matters not at all. People like it, women and feminized men. The majority…..
Jarek, Pride has become, as the woke like to say, problematic. The language is now so debased that it’s become impossible to know what we’re conveying to the listener when we speak or write.
Most people now believe that pride is something that is not earned and not indicative of self-respect and honorable actions, but rather a kind of strutting around and congratulating oneself for actions that would have recently been (deservedly) illegal.
I don’t think that we can ever dig ourselves out of this mess without addressing the co-opting of language to serve ideology. A world in which “woman” or “man” mean anything you choose to think they mean is a world that cannot function on any level. They have decidedly won the war on language, and we’ve unthinkingly adopted and used most of their ideologically loaded redefinitions.
Yes. As Confucius said, the first step in reform is the “rectification of names” or the return of words to their true meanings.
When I delve into this, I get attacked by the ladies who call me crazy. They like this world of lies!
In any case, pride is a complicated thing. There is a very good kind of pride and a very bad one. And too much of the good kind is bad too.
“Problematic” – one of my unfavorite words. Sounds like it needs batteries. It should be snuffed out like the first of a new invasive species of rat skittering down the dock lines, before it gets a chance to spread.
And “concerning”. Get on the bus with “problematic”, you’re outa here.
Not when there are so many other, more deserving, neologisms out there. (I’m thinkin’ of you, “Alot”.)
I like your description of the current, stretched-beyond-recognition definition of “pride” – “a label I put on myself because I’m awesome!” I think pride is something that’s earned. (But then again, define “earned”.) Like fear, I don’t think pride is something that should be held onto for very long. Experience it, learn from it, move on.
I think we are heading for bad times, but something good WILL come out of it. What is clear by now is that no political saviour will turn things around. The system has to collapse or recede in some way so rebuilding can begin from the roots up. A sort of Build Back Better without the brain implants.
I’m enjoying the pushback against the WEF. Yes, I know there are other forces behind those ‘elites’, but that should not deter us from giving the globalist troublemakers some of what they’ve got coming.
They are actually whing and making threats against all who dare oppose them.
I don’t think there is any possibility that Gavin Newsome can win a national election in 2024. His record as governor for one of the country’s now most hated states is pretty bad. What would he run on? What accomplishment does he have that would Wow the electorate?
I don’t see it.
But, if he were to somehow “win”, I think it would have a similar effect that Abe Lincoln’s win did in 1860.
Maybe South Carolina would do the honor of going first again.
Gavin is creepy. He just is.
Smarmy is the word.
Even better.
The elections are rigged.
Yes. That is why I said: ….if he were to somehow “win”.
As Stalin said, it matters not who votes, but who counts the votes.
Quite a guy, eh? I think you said you admired him at some point?
do the votes even get counted?
It’s about ballots, not votes.
If they can install Dementia Joe they can install Gavin. Even if he is a one-man never-ending horror show.
Exactly, I wouldn’t put anything past the deep state at this point. Gavin is certainly a contender, and he will lie, cheat, steal, and sleep with whomever necessary to achieve his means.
Lincoln was an adversary of the 1860 Deep State, the bipartisan slavery compromise that had stopped secession to that point. His election fired off the southern secession. He was against the stalemate that was DC at the time.
More like Trump.
Newsome is more of the same, the Progressives will adopt him as bandleader. He will push the Left further Left and the RINOs will just kow tow.
Electing Trump will give us another 1861 and Idaho may be the next Sumter.
Lincoln was the waterboy for the new deep state, Big Business. In Lincoln’s case it was the railroads that bought him, long before he got to DC.
Lincoln has my vote – for Worst* President Ever. (*That is, the President whose actions had the most damaging, long-term consequences for this country.)
REALLY did you ever think Joe Biden would get 81 million votes?
It matters not who votes it only matters on who counts the votes!
Mick, with voter fraud ANYTHING is possible. If you can elect Fetterman, you can elect a psychedelic whelk.
Mick,
The media can certainly continue to try to distort things to fool the electorate. I agree with you his record is abysmal.
But one thing cannot be argued with, his results are so bad that California is hemorrhaging residents. They go to Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, etc. I would imagine some of them even end up in Florida. This makes Newsome’s potshots at DeSantis all the funnier
Here’s what I’m talking about.
I may be one who down in Whoville but sometimes if you yell long enough other start yelling with you others will hear you and sometimes those others have the wherewithal and knowhow to do something about what people like me have been yelling about.
I’ve been ranting about government officials getting away with acting against America’s sovereignty for some time now.
Blockbuster Lawsuit: America First Legal and Texas Partner With Oklahoma to Sue Biden’s HHS for Relinquishing Our Sovereignty to WHO Tyranny
https://aflegal.org/blockbuster-lawsuit-america-first-legal-and-texas-partner-with-oklahoma-to-sue-bidens-hhs-for-relinquishing-our-sovereignty-to-who-tyranny/
By the way, The Whos in Whoville are not to be confused with the WHO.
Or the Who either.
Or the Guess Who.
I keep thinking all the scamming of people going on (esp. the vax vs. the unvaxxed) is straight outa Seuss, too. “Sneetches on Beaches,” to be exact.
On the covid-19 topic, this was from Alex Berenson recently:
We fucked around.
With:
Preclinical development.
Clinical trial design.
Regulatory independence.
A phased rollout/rational cost-benefit analysis for people at low risk.
Collecting clean long-term safety data.
We fucked around and around and around.
Now we’re finding out.

It certainly looks like Biden is being removed. You can tell by the propaganda song being played by the Mighty Wurlitzer.
The idea that WEF stooge McCarthy is the chosen replacement is interesting. I consider that a viable theory.
As for Russia uncovering corruption, they already found a boatload of evidence of crimes against humanity in the Ukraine biolabs AND they made it public.
This isn’t the first time that Russia has revealed US/NATO war crimes in public and it was ignored by the media.
If the Mighty Wurlitzer doesn’t cover it, it never happened, according to the rest of the world.
For instance, the Ukies have been bombing civilian markets and apartment buildings for years, including most recently using US-supplied HIMARS to attack and kill civilians. They shelled an apartment building the day after a Russian missile hit an apartment building in Dneipro.
But if you asked a regular person about this, they would ONLY know about the one in Dneipro AND they would not know that the missile was thrown off course by an anti-aircraft missile from Ukraine.
That is the power of the Mighty Wurlitzer, which is controlled by our ruling overlords.
It does seem likely that Hunter Biden harbors a grudge against his father. It is my opinion (speculation) that the reason his mother loaded up her kids in the car and drove in front of a truck is because she found out that Joe was screwing around on her.
Hunter was in that car.
Of course, Ashley wasn’t and she is also totally screwed up. Maybe Joe Biden is just such a piece of shit that anyone exposed to him comes out messed up. That is also likely.
It seems as though she did stop at the stop sign, but then pulled out anyway.
They say she may have just been distracted by her small children and wasn’t looking the right way, but I wondered too if it was a suicide.
Jill’s no prize either, and that’s Ashley’s mom (shudder).
Notice how out of the spotlight Ashley is.
And yeah, his kids are all a mess. I wonder what Beau’s deal was. Maybe he was one of those offspring who don’t continue the family dysfunction? In any case, then his widow went of with his brother.
The whole clan are skeezeballs.
It is amazing that for years I only knew about the dead daughter and the two boys who survived.
Another daughter? How was that kept out of the propaganda for so long?
And I dare say that most Americans still don’t realize that he has a living daughter.
He also has a granddaughter living in poverty with her stripper mother, because Hunter refuses to pay child support.
I wonder how old she has to be before Ol’ Sniffer Grandpa shows interest.
I’m guessing about 4.
Hang in there, stripper mom!
Yep, a stripper named “Dallas” if memory serves. Hunter tried to cut her off but she did the paternity test – hahahahaha!
Any other administration wouldn’t survive all this.
Shows you how fake it all is.
Have you seen Joe’s creepy brother, Jim. He looks like a cross between a second hand car salesman and a vampire.
Ooh, I love it when CFN’ers play clinical psychologist. It gets so juicy (and stupid).
Everyone seems to focus on the ballots, as if that was the primary act in stealing the 2020 election.
It was just a tiny piece. As a programmer, I know how insanely easy it is to alter any type of input, and when you look at the rapid switch of votes that almost instantly turned the counts to Biden, there is only one conclusion that presents itself. The votes were altered in the system remotely. And when you have a high ranking person in the Dominion system telling people that they’ve made sure that Trump would not win, well, I believe him.
This may be another argument against having such elderly people in power. They do not understand the world of IT. They are simply dumb users.
There were six major dimensions of cheating. One do one when you can create a complete tangle?
But Yes! Voting machines shouldn’t be on-line during the voting…..
correction: Why do one
Agreed, the Deep State will do anything, murder anybody to maintain its power base.
IMHO, it shifted into high gear with the election of HRC as First Lady.
Many wars, many lives have been lost through history for the same political moves we are seeing now.
To give us a sense of control in our lives, we expend a lot of energy trying to figure out the future. I guess we all do. But in reality, no one knows. So – I take predictions with a jaundiced eye. McCarthy or Newcomb the next prexy? I doubt it. My own thinking is that some physical event or events will occur that change everything. The Earth is not alone in the universe. Stars explode, the sun burps out matter and radiation.
Climate always changes. Now we have atmospheric rivers. I never heard of that before. What else does Gaia have in store for us? We’ve depleted our soil, poisoned the land. The Earth naturally has its own equilibrium system, and we’re trying to override it with our own. Food availability will become probabilistic. People won’t put up with that – world-wide unrest will ensue and nobody knows who or what will be in power once the dust settles.
Economically, we’ve acted very stupidly. You can’t spend more than you take in without an ultimate breakdown. Militarily we’ve been insane. We all know here what the USA is doing. Did you read about the toddler shooting a gun? Crazy isn’t it? Now picture the gun as a missile carrying nukes – that’s where we may be heading. Then who or what will be in power? Biden, Newcomb, McCarthy? Really?
I could go on because there’s more factors that will shape the future, but you all should get the point: we really can’t tell what the future will bring. I’ll close out by stating a few positive possibilities: Nuclear fusion is successfully achieved, oil is abiotic, we balance the budget, Ukraine collapses before we push Russia too far. I wonder what would happen if there’s a small sub-group of sane individuals ensconced in a mental institution? Would they be subsumed by all the crazy inmates, or would they be able to rise to power inside?
“I wonder what would happen if there’s a small sub-group of sane individuals ensconced in a mental institution? Would they be subsumed by all the crazy inmates, or would they be able to rise to power inside?”
This is exactly how I feel being a member of this chat blog conversation. Many of us comprise the few sane individuals remaining in society, yet there is the general populace at large and the few trolls here that try to bring us down and keep us from rising to the top like delicious cream.
The WEF tells us our glutenous consumption of livestock in preference to delicious and nutritious insects is destroying the planet (among our many other bad habits). Just look at the recent bizarre weather! Not a word about their own geo-engineering activities. Until we have an honest revelation about that, nothing weather related will make sense.
“You can’t spend more than you take in without an ultimate breakdown”.
That works for the environment as well as the economy.
Stripping the oceans, stripping the topsoil, pumping out the aquifers, using up the oil……and then demanding that you want more, More!
Yeah, right. Not going to happen.
BTB: “I wonder what would happen if there’s a small sub-group of sane individuals ensconced in a mental institution? Would they be subsumed by all the crazy inmates, or would they be able to rise to power inside?”
Well it didn’t work out so good for “Mac” McMurphy. He rocked the boat and they removed half his brain.
Atmospheric rivers used to be called the Pineapple express. They are nothing new, happening periodically, tearing up California every time. Just another BS item for the AGW folks to run up the flag post.
Liberalism, being amplified by globalist groups like the WEF, are responsible for all of it.
All of it.
To stop the insanity, you must stop the insane ones.
Greed is behind all of it.
Well said, btb.
I don’t really worry about 2024 either. In political terms, it’s a lifetime away. As you say, either some gamechanging event will happen before then, or the country will fall apart. All we can do is keep ourselves and our families physically and mentally strong.
Another $2.5 billion of military hardware committed to Ukraine today, mostly Bradlee fighting vehicles & Hummers, plus other junk left over from the 1st Gulf War. You hear a media mantra now “Give Ukraine tanks”, as if any obsolete tanks provided by the Dutch, British or Germans won’t be easily knocked out by Kamov Ka-50 attack helicopters. Zelensky demands at least 500 tanks, specifically German Leopards. Won’t that be something to see, Wehrmacht Panzers headed east, passing thru Kiev, rolling toward Moscow. Does it sound familiar, CFNers?
Hey, Marlin, Bradlee’s was the department store chain, Bradleys the tanks. And the same result would occur with the German tanks as happened in WW2. People just never learn.
Oh yeah named after General Omar Bradley.
We had Bradlees her too, Bill. In fact a family trip to Bradlees in Torringrton was a big deal, a place to get ‘school clothes’ — I remember getting a Daisy pump BB gun at Bradlees, and a transistor radio.
I like looking through the old department store catalogues issued pre-war. Some of the household items you could buy in there were absolutely amazing. The female models they used were top notch too, back when American actually still produced a viable female role model.
In the Sears catalogue you could just order up a Winchester rifle or Colt revolver if you wanted, and it would be delivered right to your door.
You could even order a house.
I liked it that you could order dogs. I really wanted a dog.
Why couldn’t you order the female models too? Perhaps hidden in large cabinets?
A kit to build a flintlock rifle!
Yeah, if you had $129.99…
Before I moved to Germany, I was on the outskirts of DC and those old Sears houses were everywhere.
Worth quite a bit of money now. Quality seemed quite good for a wooden house.
After my father retired he got a part-time job at a Bradlees store for a few years. And no, he wasn’t a greeter.
Nothing wrong with being a greeter.
For a time my WalMart had a greeter who was a young quadraplegic woman in a big, elaborate chair.
So sad and kind of a downer. It certainly didn’t put me in a mood to spend frivolously.
We need more geezer greeters. They remind people that they’re going to bet old and die. And that frivolous spending won’t change that.
At last someone besides me admits to going to Walmart. He even says “my” Walmart!
My father-in-law did the same at Walmart.
He found out in short order he was not up to the task.
During Covid they transitioned from greeting to enforcing face mask gestapo protocols. Some couldn’t handle all that power.
People who believe that men who couldn’t fly a Cessna could get into the cockpits of 757s and fly them precisely into targets 100s of miles away are ripe to believe that the west can send Ukraine a motley assortment of tanks made in different countries, and the Ukies will be able to hop right in, turn the key and change the outcome of the war.
UKC news today included an item that included the top 25 countries in the world in terms of the number of tanks they have. Russia was at the top with something like 15,600. The UK doesn’t figure at all in the top 25, needless to say. Ukraine is in there with about 1500 or so. The UK is sending them 14 tanks to change the course of the war. 🙂 Were the situation not so tragic, one could die laughing.
14 Tanks,huh.Wow, Rah,Rah! UK. The Battle of Kursk in ’43 involved 5000 Russian tanks and 1.6 millions soldiers. And that was just the Russian side. Didn’t work out so well for the Germans.
The UK also has two aircraft carriers (I think – one loses count when the numbers are so dizzying). One of them has been in dry dock for some time.
Is it true that the UK has no aircraft for the aircraft carriers anyway?
Quite possibly, Paula. I don’t keep a close eye on it, but there was something years ago about building aircraft with France for the carriers. I’ve completely forgotten the details.
They don’t really need aircraft now – just the necessary equipment to contain us when we eventually riot, as a result of freezing, starving and ‘dying suddenly’. No appetite for it yet, though … John O’Looney said the government were surprised, over a year ago, that it hadn’t happened yet. Sorry, I digress!
” Didn’t work out so well for the Germans”
Saint,
Reportedly, at the battle of Kursk, Gentlemen were reading other Gentlemen’s mail….
The US/NATO spent 8 years building and equipping the Ukrainian military and digging them into eastern Ukraine. They were the best equipped and largest military in Europe last January.
They had thousands of tanks, tanks which they knew how to operate and maintain. The Russians destroyed them when they entered the war.
But 14 more will certainly do the trick!
There is terrible irony here.
Remember the initial thrust by the Russian armor towards Kyiv? The Ukes made mincemeat out of them, confirmed by photography.
Why, what happened? The same thing that stated happening to the Russians in Afghanistan.
Technology, in the form of one man missile systems, like the Javelin, has obsoleted brute force military weaponry. One or two men have the capability to destroy multiple tanks or armored vehicles, on both sides. Thousands of tanks, who cares. They might as well be made of tissue paper.
Remember the one man anti aircraft missiles we supplied the Afghans with in the 70s, I forget the name. They neutralized those big Russian helicopters that the Rambo movies made known. The Russians limped home.
In Ukraine, neither side is going to win this fiasco. Modern weaponry has become heaps of slag on the landscape, on both sides. The war has become one of attrition, like a seize, with both sides hoping to outlast the other. In this type of war, the side with the most toys does not win, the side with the most patience wins.
Examples.
Korea
VietNam
Afghanistan twice.
IMHO, Ukraine “wins” the war when Russia finally pulls out. What is left of the Ukraine though will make Ukes curse Zelensky as they relocate to Russia and Poland. They will really curse the USA as history shows them how they were used.
Germany realizes all this and is starting to make rebellious noises. Pretty soon, after much gnashing of teeth, Europe as a whole will realize how they have been used by the US. Trump , in his nationalistic zeal, tried to get NATO countries to take care of themselves, defensively. Now, we see how poorly that happened.
So the US is on the hook, again, trying to limit Russia. Wait a minute, who has the aggressor been in Eastern Europe, who has enlarged their “might” since 1991, after promising they would not. The Ukes are being killed, Russians too, so the MIC can produce and utilize more weaponry. In the end, no one really wins.
As usual.
This affects all of us here. The debt ceiling is being looked at very seriously this time, like 2011. Why are we spending so much on Ukraine, to protect the Biden family fortunes? The US budget is a free falling snowball now, leading to bankruptcy very soon.
A much bigger and scarier question is how far will Russia go as both sides just flail away with no results? Tactical, then strategic nukes? Hmmmm.
You’re cracking me up, Paula!
@johnaz
The stinger missile system with special battery pack.
Part of what made the Benghazi Hillary Clinton era so bad was 10k of them went missing and that is what the CIA team was there looking for.
The built in a safety system that it took special batteries to operate them, or they would be showing up everywhere right now.
Engineer Ghaffar, of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s Hezb-i-Islami, brought down the first Hind gunship with a Stinger on 25 September 1986 near Jalalabad.
Greenie, you probably just sent the Ukies all of your tanks.
Let the Ruskies smash them – so you don’t have to.
Let’s be clear Paula….you think 9/11 was an inside job, no?
But yeah, my husband said that today’s NPR propaganda was them whining about the damn Germans, and their refusal to use tanks against Russia.
What’s wrong with them? Their grandfathers had no problem doing it.
Perhaps because the end result was all the women in Berlin got raped and they don’t want that happening again?
Jarek! Quit posting under K-Chien’s name!
Adolescent humor. Trying to con yourself into believing it didn’t happen when of course even Kchien knows it did.
Marlin, remember that each of these weapons that the war is turning to ash is one less in the home countries armories. How long before arming the Ukes affects the balance of power of defense systems.
The Liberal mind, everywhere, has a major flaw. It does not acknowledge the limits of economics. Money. Oil, weapons all have unlimited reserves, so planning assumes such. War, tax and spend, and trying to use the strategic oil reserves to drop the price of gasoline are all examples.
TSHTF when their limitless plans runs into their finite limits. By June, we may see the latest failure of the Liberal socialist model start its final decline.
You meant January, right?
Nope, Yellen is slowing spending right now to keep things running. The real drop dead date in in June, when the default happens.
Question though, would it be better to default now or wait for things to get even worse?
That depends on if you are holding the bag, the rest are betting on some other form of wampum.
I used to live way back opposite the fantastic Imperial War Museum in London. They have a great historic tank collection. I expect when I visit in February, the WW1 British tank and the T-34 will be gone. They’ll be the only tanks left in the UK that we can send to the Ukies.
Supposedly the Ukies got a steam engine out of a museum to replace the electric ones that no longer work.
CFNers are supposed to be intelligent (at least theoretically). Many here complain about the trolls operating so much. Yet, you can’t seem to help yourselves to directly respond to their comments or discuss their disruptive ways among yourselves, instead of ignoring them as you should. This is all music to the trolls’ ears. Therefore, I say I won’t mind them posting here at all. Be smart!
Yes, the trolls are terrible. They take such a toll with their truth bombs. They destroy the narrative if it is faulty or at least where it is faulty.
Very few truly support the First Amendment.
is this addressed to Green Alba?
Beantown with the greatest line ever posted on CFN, other than cowbell’s butt sniffing poetry.
“CFNers are supposed to be intelligent (at least theoretically).”
And you probably posted this w a pat on the back and a smug bit of self-assurance.
Thanks ‘bill. I agree. Don’t feed the trolls.
I’d like to see if it works. Just think if it did…
Imagine no more trolls
It’s easy if you try
No monkey shit thrown at us
No snide drive-by
Imagine all the comments
Adding to the discussion…
Woo-hoo…
Agreed. Don’t feed the trolls!
Talk about a case of mixed priorities. Apparently US Customs is more than happy to seize and destroy illegal eggs coming across the Mexican border in order to relieve our plight on $9 per dozen eggs. However, if it is an illegal alien coming across to steal our jobs and destroy our cities, by all means, that is perfectly fine, please proceed.
Maybe if each illegal was given a carton of eggs to carry in then they would look the other way.
Right now a 30-count carton of eggs in Mexico is retailing for a scant $3.40.
httpsXX://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/customs-officials-are-seizing-eggs-at-the-u-s-mexico-border/ar-AA16zq17
Why waste your mental energy on the government’s insane policies? It is what it is. At our local Whole Paycheck, eggs are around $5 a dozen. And the quality has gotten worse. At least they still have them, although the egg section is more bare than before.
But, please, shhh. If the chickens find out how much we pay for their eggs, they’ll go out on strike and demand a cut of the action. Then the prices will rise even more
the miserable life of a factory hen.
the roosters usually are ground up alive or gassed. check youtube.
Out here, drive randomly for 10 minutes and you’ll probably pass 2 or 3 signs advertising eggs for sale. Drive in the right direction, and they’ll be duck.
My great-grand parents and then grandparents owned a hatchery. My grandmother said they gassed the roosters.
People who keep a few chickens kill the surplus roosters for dinner (if they’re young) and chicken broth if they’re tough old birds. It can sometimes be good to keep at least one rooster around, if you happen to have one that will protect the flock. Some roosters will face down a very big dog to protect the hens. I once had a very large, mean, aggressive rooster who lost his life that way. But there are very few roosters like that.
I suppose the breeds of chickens that are kept in CAFOs for eggs must not be suitable as meat birds. If they were, they could sell the the young roosters for meat (you would think).
Businesses are wasteful.
Most people want to buy hens for their backyard flocks, not roosters. The factory farms that sell eggs also only want hens. Therefore hatcheries kill the boy chicks.
Maybe if a little boy chick identified as a hen, he could sue the farm to protect him.
It’s the same thing as frackers flaring off natural gas. Natural gas is also valuable, but a lot of the frackers are actually going after the oil, so they waste the gas.
Another scenario: Kamala gets bumped off first! Perhaps an airplane or helicopter crash?
We could have a lovely funeral, everyone saying how she was the best of the best. How will the nation go on without her.
You’re allowed to lie out your ass at funerals.
Remember Gerald Ford? Two and a half years in office and three full state funerals. So much tribute paid to a dimwitted water boy for the Cabal.
How many funerals did George Floyd get?
I think he may have beaten Gerald Ford.
Kchien questioned the idea of official compassion objects when I brought it up. He thought it would be a terrible thing. I mentioned George Floyd. He didn’t say anything in response. Thus is the Ballad of Kchien.
And when I told you to send me an email because I need your advice on something you did not do it. So don’t be playing the kicked puppy.
Last I counted, it was 4. And one had horse-drawn carriages.
All for a career criminal who killed himself by ODing on fentanyl trying to hide it from the cops.
Wokelibs will literally fall for anything.
And so will dumbass…what are you again? some sort of mutant?
It all depends on what the media tells them.
My Wokest daughter gave me hope the other day. She said that she recently found out that if a cat has toxoplasmosis it is only contagious for a couple of weeks.
She asked me why they always proclaim that cats are a constant source of danger?
And I told her that the ruling class prefers a fearful and paranoid population.
I think she took the point.
The ‘Ho gets bumped off by “white supremacists”.
I had expected (ok, predicted) this would happen after last November’s selection – the Blue Tsunami!…
But there’s still time. (Not much – gotta happen in the next year.)
It has to happen pretty quickly after they take out Brandon, or another vice will be chosen and become second in line.
If they want McCarthy, they have to work fast.
It has to happen before the Big Guy stumbles offstage.
Yep, like Agnew.
Pennsylvania is axing its college degree requirement for 65,000 state jobs.
But I thought everyone was going to get a free college degree paid for by the Biden Administration? Now what is the point of all that student loan forgiveness if any cretin can apply and get a government job without a higher education degree?
All these mixed messages are getting me very confused.
And in Ct, new law being passed lowering physical requirements to become a firefighter. “We need more women firefighters.” is the reason being given.
also because non white males often failed the physical drills that were part of the exam.
Gloria Steinem: So what if women can’t lift people up. Drag them along the floor. It’s cooler down there.
I would much rather hear a firefighter’s take on Critical Race Theory than be carried out of a burning building. What is one life (or several) sacrificed for the beauty of woke thinking.
The college pyramid scheme is probably crashing.
Critics accused Trump of running a “diploma mill” via his Trump University. The sad truth is – all universities have become nothing but overpriced diploma mills. This became obvious when Covid turned most higher learning institutions into primarily on-line education, but they continued charging the same. A fraud, a joke?! Let the system crash. It deserves to die.
I agree completely. Let it crash.
I would love to have a future in helping set up home-schooling centers of support.
Hopefully, but what the heck do all the Wokesters and landwhales do if they can’t go to college? They might have to find jobs.
The Big Guy’s plan proposes to wipe out $20,000 of student loan debt for “most borrowers”. As with virtually anything the government does, it throws out lots of money without addressing the real problem.
The real problem is the large number of people with debt the size of a mortgage. People for whom the interest on the loans is greater than the amount of the loans themselves. For these people, the “Biden plan” won’t make any tangible difference.
And why should it be any different? In 2005 then-Senator Biden was key to getting the “Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act” passed, making student loan debt virtually impossible to discharge.
The student loan forgiveness is a give-away to the banks, just like Obamacare was a giveaway to the insurance corporations.
Ignore the spin and see who benefits.
But yeah, I know many young people who have long since paid off their original loan but still owe more than they borrowed, thanks to the “magic” of compound interest.
Lifetime debt slavery is the agenda, and it’s out there in plain sight
Home mortgaged, car loans, student loans, consumer loans, credit card debt, store credit, even PayPal and Amazon are pushing credit
I’ve lived my whole life without resorting to loans or credit and I don’t feel I’ve missed anything wonderful.
I took out a mortgage, but that is all the debt I ever took out. And I paid it off a long time ago.
My husband has a credit card, but I don’t. But the way they are setting things up, there are some things you can’t do anymore, like pay for a hotel room with cash.
One time I couldn’t even buy a bus ticket with cash. Luckily my husband was there.
Our overlords suck.
I think you’ve had to have a credit card to rent a car for many years now.
A debit card works just as well.
Joy Behar Earns Eye Rolls For Alec Baldwin Conspiracy Theory: His Prosecutor is a ‘Big Republican’.
Behar referred to the district attorney charging Baldwin a “big Republican,” a point that was met with immediate pushback from her View co-hosts.
Behar defended Baldwin after Santa Fe district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced Baldwin would be charged. The district attorney also rejected Baldwin’s previous claim that he never pulled the trigger of the weapon.
“She’s a big Republican,” Behar said of the the DA. “I’m only saying this because Alec Baldwin is a target for Republicans. They cannot stand him.”
Cowbell comments: Yep, exactly, go with that. If the DA was a democrat they would probably let Baldwin go on a self-defense argument. This coming from the same people that allowed “mostly peaceful” protesting as cities and stores were burned and looted.
Those women always had a thing for Baldwin.
I remember he was on there, blaning his ex-wife because he called his little girl a thoughtless pig, and the women nodding along that it was all his wife’s fault.
Now a gun in his hand which he pointed at two people went off, and he dindu nuffin?
Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face and then went to bed before he reported it.
His friend apologized for being shot.
Nothing happened to the Dick.
…..and his friend was right for apologizing. He shouldn’t have been in the way of that buck shot. Ruined Dick’s day!
Pretty sure it was birdshot.
They were hunting Quayle…
Ted Kennedy swam home to have a drink before he called to report about poor Mary Joe. If he was such a good swimmer, why didn’t he dive down to try and help her?
I can see it now. Trump (the real one) appears on Saturday Night Live playing Alec Baldwin, who for some reason cannot stop shooting all the people around him.
Omigod! That is brilliant.
They are too Woke to do it, though, sadly.
Hey, you know what I just realized? Today is January 20th. In a mere two years we will finally be rid of the Biden curse. Hopefully we will still have a country to call home at that point. We have dropped a far way in these past two years and are still a way off from hitting bottom. Ask Hunter, he would know a thing or two about that.
Let’s Go Brandon!!!
That is why they are taking out Brandon now. His successor will thereby be eligible for a 10 year term.
You know, if the voters approve. (Snark).
The Hildebeast won’t need to be “re-elected”.
She/It/They/Whatever will rule by popular acclaim – forever.
Gavin’s banquet at the outset of the Pandemic lockdowns was illustrative. His thought processes and motives became more transparent when His Honor The Mayor of SF turned down US Navy gift of Battleship IOWA. Calling the lady of the house “First Partner” is more than quirky… His best single television exposure was denial of his Catholic roots on the Larry King show where he espoused infanticide and same sex “marriage”. Newsom and his Ms. will prove another dangerous Ahab & Jezebel template, like Bill & Hil. Another US power player instrumental in bringing to pass Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verse 15 in our time. Even Putin comments on America’s spiritual rot.
There is Divine Justice; California of all the states has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting. Earthquakes are not the only adventure waiting- LA & SF are on Communist Dictator Nuclear hit lists Natural events -call it the icing on the cake- record snow pack waits for similar rounds of storms, some time the warm rains come! Reservoir dams will overtop and wash out, leading to fully inundated Central Valley from Shasta to Bakersfield. The California Valley megaflood coming sooner or later has long been the sum of worst fears of CA Dept. of Water Resources Engineers.
More on crucial North American rail food distribution enhancements as the fertilizer emergency stemming from loss of Russian/Ukraine production sources. Maybe famine the Kamala’s first big nightmare?
My take on the docs Op is that the intel community loves Joe Biden, and wants to continue to run him as a controlled robot. The docs were planted, just as they were in Mar-a-Lago. The “investigation” will discover that nasty Secret Service agents unlawfully moved the docs to the private home of Joe Biden. These “terrorists” will turn out to be Trump’s coterie of agents, who are loyal to him. They will have to either resign or be indicted. The MSM will portray Biden as a martyr who was compromised by Trump, and calls for Trump’s indictment will expand feverishly, and he will be without loyal secret service agents to protect him.
These guys have only ONE plan in the playbook: Get DJT. More proof (if we needed any more) that DJT is the only possible Republican candidate in 2024.
Um, James, I admire your books. But this is hogwash. Who forced you to drink the Kool Aid?
This is pure H2O
You might not be mixing the kook-aid, but you’re making sure it is served unhindered
Hunter does have a problem keeping track of his laptops. Funny you don’t hear much about a video found on the laptop he left at the Delaware computer shop. On it, a naked Hunter is telling a naked prostitute about the time he went on a one week binge in Vegas, passed out, and when he woke up his laptop was missing. He assumed it was stolen by the Russian drug dealers he was partying with. You’d think that might be a national security concern, but it’s been memory-holed by the media. Maybe it’s not an issue though, maybe in a drunken fugue he left that one at a computer shop too, and just forgot about it.
“Selling out your country is kind of serious.”
In theory, yes. Revolting in fact. Sickening. But in real-life practice… this is just another day at the office. And this kind of behavior is nothing new. Generational wealth has long been built on using a public office for personal gain… from the City and County level all the way up to the Dark State Puppeteer Class.
Corruption and Government have been joined at the hip ever since there were such things as being corrupt and having government. We have been brought up to accept that you can’t have one without the other. And that feature of corruption thrives in all other forms of social collective such as Education, The Science!, Finance, Corporations, The Medical Mafia, State Media, etc. Look at any one of these collectives and you find the same full-on joinder between corruption and institution. A sickly form of intercourse worse than most anything that appears on a porn channel.
“Ukraine did not have to become a geopolitical hot-spot.”
No, it didn’t. But it was a foregone conclusion by Our Ruling gods that there WAS going to be some place on the Earth that The Indispensable Nation was going to confront any other Nation that dared to resist its incorporation into The Indispensable Nation’s Borg. Ukraine fits the bill nicely because it is right on Russia’s front porch and that was guaranteed to provoke a response — just as Our Ruling gods baited them into doing.
“I’ll never understand — and neither will you — how ‘Joe Biden’ got propelled out of ignominious defeat in the earliest presidential primaries, to sweep the field on Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020.”
It’s not that big a mystery. He’s the perfect empty suit with little activity going on above the neck line to use as your ‘front’. You push out to the public your Ed Sullivan-style comedy dummy and the ventriloquist Obama or whoever does the talking and real ruling. Thing is, this tired bit on Sullivan would last two minutes and we’d be done with it. But today, this pathetic act goes on for years. And leaves a trail of damage and little to laugh at.
“Kamala Harris watches the action offstage in a fugue of anxiety and depression.”
That’s not all she’s doing! She’s also smirking and chortling… and still wondering to herself ‘How the HELL did I ever pull this sheet off and get this gig?!’
And through it all… we get to live another day in this weird mashup of The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits together with Monty Python with a heavy dose of The Three Stooges and Benny Hill. Without a laugh track save for the one we provide in our beleaguered and weary thoughts.
Remember how Sullivan couldn’t move his neck? He didn’t want to see too much! Instead he moved his whole body, if you see, you have to respond. So don’t see what you’re not willing to deal with.
This is rationale of the Supreme Court turning down the Steal case. They didn’t want to see, to know, to be responsible.
We’d all be better served if we had Señor Wences on the Supreme Court. Or that creepy obnoxious rat character thing. Or the guy who spun all those plates.
Better yet, have the real Supremes on the Big Court. Diana and friends.
While we all get to sing ‘Nothing But Heartaches’…
How ’bout Tom Terrific?…or Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother?
Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother are the names of my two dogs….
“Allen Dulles was sent by the State Department in 1943 to negotiate a US-only withdrawal from the war and he enthusiastically supported the preservation of Hitler’s “Greater Germany” as part of an anti-Soviet plan for “order and rehabilitation” in Europe”
https://t.me/MBlumenthal/448
I am starting to think we may need to go back and relearn almost everything one can find in the history books.
Did he also support the Morgenthau Plan to turn Germany into an agricultural state – dooming tens of millions to death? Or the Kaufman plan to sterilize all German men? They wouldn’t even have to miss a full day of work! (Kaufman).
One can learn all about those plans, and more, here:
rumble.com/v1mk6ux-europa-the-last-battle-2017-full-documentary-hd-the-history-of-the-cabal.html
Yes, this doc film is massively long. But there are chapter breaks on the ‘Show More’ .
The US security state (bankster owned, ofc) has stated its aim to keep Germany down in many white papers.
There is a reason why, architecturally speaking, they never built up the cities properly after the second world war, and why even today an air of defeatism and rage permeates the society.
Takes a while to really pick up on it, but its definitely there.
Dulles also negotiated a separate surrender with Axis forces in northern Italy and Austria – in violation of terms of the Yalta Agreement – in which Axis forces were allowed to keep their arms, in preparation for a war against the Soviet Union. This is cited, by David Talbot, in The Devil’s Chessboard as a reason for the Iron Curtain coming down and the Cold War beginning.
Did Dulles really expect us to go to war against the USSR immediately after defeating the Axis? Or was he provoking an end to cooperation between the US and the USSR?
Did anyone do more damage to the United States of America than the two Dulles brothers?
I think not. They were pure evil.
John Foster, who should have been awarded some sort of championship prize for the foulest breath in Washington, meets with Ho Chi Minh, in the late 1950s.
Ho: “I admire your country, and especially your revolutionary leader, George Washington.”
Dulles: “Yes, thank you.”
Ho: “We wish to have a revolution in Vietnam as well, to gain our independence.”
Dulles: “I see.”
Ho: “It will be a socialist revolution.”
Dulles (shaking head, making face): “No, that will not do. Cannot allow it.”
…the rest is history.
A surreal experience indeed today as I heard an obese woman in the admin building say, laughing and without a hint of irony, ‘Of course, I never turn down a doughnut.”
Could be a defense mechanism. Well aware of her corpulence and the absurdity and inconsequentiality of denying one more doughnut
All the sleezy machinations of the DC and the DS are about to become irrelevant to the overall world situation. The Saudi’s formally announced last week that they will no longer sell oil for $USDs exclusively; they will take a variety of currencies, e.g. the Ruble and the Yuan. This is the death of the Bretton Wood’s based ‘petro-dollar.’ The END of dollar hegemony !!!! Other energy rich countries are are following suit; the $USD is no longer king. It is just another fiat currency in a 3rd world country with color tv, backed by NOTHING.
Hear that whooshing noise in the air? It’s billions and billions of worthless dollars returning to America. Weimar America is here.
neurodoc: “All the sleezy machinations of the DC and the DS are about to become irrelevant to the overall world situation… billions and billions of worthless dollars returning to America. Weimar America is here.”
We need to give some credit here to these Dark Masters. It isn’t easy running a complex World Economy all based upon one country’s ‘dollar’ that is backed by nothing but hot Air since 1944.
That’s some serious sorcery going on. But like all magic tricks… they do have a finishing act.
But Their next new act — ‘The Digital Dollar!’ — will be an even worse trick. For us, not Them. Magic… in fact.
“I never believed in things that I couldn’t see
I said if I can’t feel it then how can it be
What’s it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt
You can do magic
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
Who would believe it
You can do magic
And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it’s so clear to me
You can do magic…”
(Thanks, ‘America’)
Roundball:
The USDC and other sovereign cryptos will be the perfect instruments for enacting massive hyperinflation to deal with the debts, and the plebes will be just confused. If they had to take wheel barrows of $USDs to the grocery store for food, they might react w/ revolt; but they will be dealing in plastic cards with digits that they don’t really understand, and thus those digits can be manipulated on a daily basis and the plebes won’t really know what’s going on. The perfect solution for a failed and worthless fiat currency. MAGICK!!!
neurodoc: “… massive hyperinflation to deal with the debts, and the plebes will be just confused… they will be dealing in plastic cards with digits that they don’t really understand…”
Somewhere along the line, people began to hate Money. No, not their ability to acquire goods and services. But real, honest, tangible, touchable bills and coins.
Sure, we were sold the nonsense that money is ‘dirty’ and ‘it’s for your own good’ not to touch the stuff. But of course that wasn’t the real reason for creating a bad reputation for nice piles of neat (or crumply) paper and shiny (or dull) coins. The real reason was to get fixed into people’s minds that there is NO correlation to anything REAL with ‘Money’ and whatever we are forced into using for ‘Money’ by the False gods Among Us. Hence… the over-riding meme of ‘value’ and ‘worth’ coning from ‘nothing’.
It has been established that if someone has to lay out five $20 bills for something they think twice about it… but will so with ease if all you do is slide a little piece of plastic through a slot. More, ‘Magic!’.
Or now, magic dancing pixels bestowed by Daddy Gov to those of us who behave and don’t give Them any trouble… for as long you don’t give Them any trouble. Who needs the Mark of the Beast in your forehead when all you need are empty dancing pixels appearing like magic in your Social Credit Account of Good Behavior as a reward for your good conduct and Right Thought.
The larger mind-eff in play here is that Nothing Has Value save for what They command so and tell us. Not even YOU have any value unless They tell you so… and don’t dare to think you do all on your own. This is all – as you say…
“MAGICK!!!”
And you can’t have ‘Magick’ without using a little… or a lot, of… ‘ICK!’
“Hear that whooshing noise in the air…”
Doc,
The sound seemingly like a death rattle, a penultimate respiration, or in medical terms;
“Our economy be hangin’ with Elvis….”
Neurodoc: Spot on. I don’t think many people, especially the “experts” realise what a massive game changer this is. I hope MBS has good security.
Saddam Hussein and Ghaddafi both tried to sell oil in other currency.
The US doesn’t take that lightly. When the petrodollar goes, the US Empire goes.
It’s the perfect storm. Unpayable debt, depleted resources, the end of the petrodollar, and the resistance of Russia to being destroyed.
This sucker’s going down, as George the Lesser said.
It’s actually amazing they have kept it propped up this long.
Doubtful.
But you keep your fantasy going.
What will happen is the engine of American ingenuity will fire up and force people to become better at local resource creation and gathering.
I was musing, Hereward, on what it must be like to be members of the flight crew of MBS’ private jet. No matter how hardened a veteran military pilot or how professional your airmanship, you cannot help but be aware that there is a big bright target painted on your fuselage.
Pay careful attention to the airport ground crew. Are they filling you up with plenty of real go-juice? What’s in people’s hand carry-on?
Things happen to aircraft.

The only thing stopping me from buying a framed print of this is the fact that I would then have to hang it on the wall, and that I would be the only one in the house with the stomach to look at it long enough to laugh.
Hahahaha! What a great conversation piece, though.
Yeah, you’d find it funny, because you’re a truly sick fuck.
It is funny and it is almost a character of what I suspect you look like and even how you dress.
You spend way more time thinking about me than I do about you, you sad little non-grammarian twit.
Right does anyone believe this?
Brainwashed socialist little troll nothing more nothing less kind of like stepping on a dog turd forever trying to wipe it off your shoe.
Shame on all you piggyback bloggers using the comment section.
Why? I don’t think you can give me a good answer. I am paper trained.
Maybe repeating a post that obviously advertises the story on my blog is a bit much but you don’t have a good answer doc.
I’ll blame it on you.

Jerek, You just need to move to Svalbard.
When the torrid zone splits the world in half and life on the equator is fatal, not only will Svalbard be a tropical paradise but EVERYBODY WILL BE WHITE.
Since humanity will be confined to live only in the north and south polar zones everybody will get six months of darkness.
Vitamin D deficiency (rickets) will breed anybody with dark skin out of the population. Charlie Darwin style.
The process will take about 2000 years but rest assured. Plants and animals for new jungles will come from Anthony Fauci Foundation Labs. Where the jungles can grow it will be far enough north that natives with spears will have white skin.
You and the ghost of H.P. Lovecraft can relax.

You still believe all that junk Al Gore has been spewing for decades? How will you carry on once it becomes apparent to everyone that no global warming is happening at all? Then what?

“That’s my fantasy du jour”
– JHK
It sure is a fantasy. It must be quite taxing to come up a ‘new’ one. Twice a week. Still, you’re mining a rich vein of bullshit fantasy and have accrued a small but vocal crowd of adherents.
why do you consider it bullshit fantasy
Because anything that does not fall into his belief system is bullshit even when his belief system is so obviously flawed.
That fool won’t ever answer don’t even bother as he is one of the most dishonest people on this forum.
Keep in mind you are talking to an NPC tinfoiler who believes Donald Trump was a Manchurian Candidate groomed by the Russians to bring about the Russo-Nazi takeover of America, using the figleaf of making America great again.
Because the television told him this, he considers it solid information.
😀
I have to chuckle. Redneck thinks his comments are such gems of wisdom. They are nothing more than drive-by cow pie flingings.
That is insulting the humble but useful cow pie.
It can be used as fertilizer or even a crude fuel source for fires.
Redneck’s leavings do not even rise to this level of usefulness.
Redneck isn’t really a part of CFN. If he was as skilled a keyboard warrior as most of us are, he should be able to play Frisbee with cow pies instead of just crudely flinging them.

This chick is 20 and is unable to answer even one question competently.
Greta is no obligation to talk to abusive pricks.
Bro
She’s an activist. Most of them desire to be heard. Why is she running away? Speak out about your cause, GRETA! Loud ‘n’ Proud!
Because she is being verbally abused. And she is not running.
Tell me MaryQueen should women be abused? That is clearly what the two men are doing in the video.
Do you enjoy male harassment? If you don’t have a problem with the video you must. Are you as devoid of empathy as Night Owl?
Be careful with showing you have the same black heart. You may reveal that you are actually the same person as he who runs the Night Owl avatar. I am sure you would not like that to happen, now would you MaryQueen.
Ever since I read Cory Morningstar’s exhaustive investigative report “The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg” several years ago, I have made a point to not ever make fun of Greta. I feel sorry for her because she is being used by forces, with her parent’s help and consent, to gain power over a newly created market, and make tons of Euros. Her parents should be ashamed of themselves, but I doubt that these two mega wealthy elitist Europeans are capable of feeling shame.
Here’s Cory’s paper, which I’m sure you probably won’t read. (Cory is a real Green, BTW. The Real Deal):

She was not being abused. She was being questioned.
It was not harassment, and it had nothing to do with being female (see: the Rebel News vs. Bourla questioning from yesterday).
She was treated like every Green New Deal grifter should be treated.
A black heart. LMAO, you’re is probably damaged from the clotshot, not to mention your fucked up pervy brain.
You blame me for supporting harassment of Greta while you drool and fap over the idea of her naked body.
What a sick fuck.
LMAO, K-dog falls for the hoax (again, like he does covid19, etc. just as N.O. says):

Mick, she’s an adult. She is able to make her own choices, and she chooses to be in on the grift.
So, as far as I’m concerned, having journalists in her face is what she signed up for, and she should be professional about it and not a snotty little asshole.
Was she ever seen in this trash can of a car? Can it be confirmed? Why don’t you try to catch her driving it. The world needs intrepid journalists, Mary.
I saw Greta in a panel discussion on YouTube – don’t have the event, so tag it as anecdotal – in which she 1) was asked more questions than the other panelists – obviously, because no one in TV land had ever heard of them, 2) had difficulty answering any technical questions, 3) eventually, and rather uncomfortably, asked the host/interviewers to share their questions more generously with the rest of the panel of “experts”.
From what I’ve pieced together of her, her public persona is a creation of her mother. She allegedly has “Asperger’s Syndrome” – which is cool now since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – and also since most kids these days have autism, or at least mimic it effectively. Her social awkwardness is part of her appeal, it makes her so genuine.
She’s a celebrity. She’s being used. The two go together.
Sure Greta’s Tesla looks messy, but…
What would you have her do?
Toss her junk in a dumpster for a trip to Mt. Trashmore? Yeah right! She’s recycling that crap – and it’s not even hers! She caught some school kids cutting class, smoking weed, and eating junk food. Those kids are back where they should be now, in school, eating junk food, and learning about the wonders of interracial anal sex.
(Greta, US$100,000 and the above is yours. And I’ve got more where that came from.)
Type out an example of the “abuse” for us all to discuss, Dog.
I know you won’t because you abuse language yourself, like all Maoists.
Come on, show us.
Mary: When Greta was trotted out on the world stage by the people identified in Morningstar’s investigative report, she was just barely 15.
That’s not an adult where I live.
Now she is 20. She has Asberger’s. I doubt that she has the mentality or capability that passed for a normal 20 year old a few decades ago.
But if you enjoy ragging on her, go ahead. Ignore the evil that put her on the stage and get your jollies by trashing a little girl.
As predicted, tumbleweeds from Mao-Dog.
Hot air.
Mick & K-Chien, such virtue signaling bleeding hearts for the person who is the face of the Green New Deal and the forthcoming climate change lockdowns.
Your allegiance to the WEF is duly noted, as well as your ability to be easily duped.
Why does my opinion on Greta matter, do you both imagine she’s reading CFN?
I noticed Mick is fine with K-Chien’s misogynistic and objectifying comment about Greta, choosing instead to feel oh so right that the poor aspergers girl should be catered to.
So far, I’ve seen what Blackbird has relayed: They put her out there to be a spokesperson and she can’t even do it.
Like I said earlier, I’m supposing you fell for Banya, the Syrian girl’s bullshit/psyops too. And probably the 15 year old who helped start the Iraq war with her little act about soldiers throwing babies out of incubators.
There’s no helping the willfully bamboozled.
Mary: Is it ever right for a man to get excited over the idea of a woman’s body?
You said she was an adult, right? Now she isn’t? Or is it just plain wrong for men to desire women? Would it be better to just use sex robots and artificial wombs?
Jarek, go play in your Manosphere and let the adults talk. K?
Actually, I have to say that I think Rebel News proves nothing whatsoever with the style of questioning they are practicing here.
Sorry, they are grandstanding.
It is kind of fun to see Bourla harassed in public. But at the same time it is quite easy to dismiss because this is merely a performance by Rebel News.
They are not acting like journalists. What a wasted opportunity.
“Acting like journalists”
Precisely. You (and many other codgers) are accustomed to the act and not the rigor.
Hey, virtue signaler,
Replace “acting like” with “practicing journalism.”
Come on, guys.
Those are not questions.
Those are rhetorical statements dressed up as questions.
Just as questions posed in the negative “Don’t you think . . .” ) are not actually questions, but statements presented as questions.
I happen to agree with the positions advocated by Rebel News in their heckling.
But that doesn’t change the fact that heckling is what hey are doing.
As I said, fun with Bourla—he deserves to be heckled, publicly humiliated, and much worse. It is man to man.
Heckling the autistic Greta—dumb, and it does not help the cause, IMHO, which is to use Davos stage for our side. Heckling/piling on Greta in this fashion is not only kind of ugly, but, more important, counterproductive. Viewers will sylmpathize with Greta.
Next stop:
“Islander is a Greta worshipper!”
“Islander is a Greta stooge!”
I’ll save time and aggro by saying, “Eff off” in advance.
So Greta should not be questioned. More allegiance to the authority you’re always pretending you oppose up here.
The mind reels at all this subjugation.
What suckers.
If Thunberg’s ideas come to fruition, millions around the world will starve to death. She deserves to be harrased as much as possible.
Agree, Hereward.
I don’t wish her harm, I just wish she’d stop being poster girl for the hoax.
No, she’s already responsible for millions. She deserves jail time.
Chick in the broadest sense of the term. – GEEK CENTRAL CASTING
“There is a small group of elite British scientists who have been busy manipulating the Covid-19 crisis to benefit a hidden agenda. These core players at the centre of creating authoritarian control structures under the guise of Covid response have major connections to the Wellcome Trust, an ostensibly “philanthropic” endeavour known for funding medical research. These individual’s efforts began long before the Covid era and even include first engineering the creation of the modern day Wellcome Trust as a by-product of the birth of the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. This team of men are responsible for key components of global Covid-19 response, the infamous proximal origin paper, the implementation of the entire UK vaccine roll-out and so much more. Yet, barely anyone knows a single name of “the Wellcome Five.” ”
johnnyvedmore.com/2022/02/08/the-wellcome-5/
Whitney Webb just interviewed Johnny Vedmore on her podcast regarding the above article, especially about Jeremy Farrar of the Wellcome Trust, and his recent appointment as chief scientist at the WHO. Scary fellow….
rokfin.com/post/118217?ref=unlimited-hangout
To give a quick summary, the WHO is working to gain more power over national governments when the next “emergency” takes place.
The PTBs have been learning from their mistakes over the past three years, and you can be rest assured that another plandemic is coming.
I believe it was GA who said earlier that Tony the Blair, formerly Dubya’s Poodle, was raving about the need for global vaxx passes at Davos.
Well, there you go.
We’re not out of the woods by any means.
People who think covid is over are going to be in for a rude awakening. It’s being instituted and adopted into laws everywhere.
You will be jabbed or you will not participate in society. And that’s the easy part. Wait for CBDC.
Won’t work, Mary. Too many are waking up. I think they will try and ditch the Covid caper and move on to their next big wheeze to subjugate us all.
You can learn more about the coming “pandemic accord” from the WHO itself, on their website, in an article from December 7.
It distills down to this:
“Member States of the World Health Organization today agreed to develop the first draft of a legally binding agreement designed to protect the world from future pandemics. This “zero draft” of the pandemic accord, rooted in the WHO Constitution, will be discussed by Member States in February 2023.”
So, we are supposedly moving into a technocratic society (by the ruling class’s dictates) so why are they laying off so many people in Silicon Valley and Amazon?
Looks like they just gave 12,000 people the boot at Google.
I would imagine that the ones being laid off now are expendable at both evil companies. It sounds like a lot of people, but have you seen what percentage of the overall workforce of Amazon and Google are being laid off now?
I think with Amazon it is only 6%. Don’t know about Google, but it is most likely less than 10%.
Both companies are increasingly able to do the same amount of work with less humans.
(Pssssst……Implementation of AI is picking up and will skyrocket in the coming remaining years of this decade).
Yeah that was a friend’s guess, that they are being replaced with AI.
Mick and Mary,
You have to put these layoffs in historical context. And the fact is these major US tech companies nearly doubled the size of their workforces over the last three years in a drunken state of excess. They overshot (obviously) and now have to cutback. Plus advertising spend is not what it was a few years ago.
Another interesting angle, thanks.
Mick and Mary,
I don’t doubt the AI issue you raised. That is almost certainly happening at the same time as their hiring overshoot.
Might also be a good sign that the public aren’t buying what they are selling (such as “Meta”).
Skyrocketing AI means skyrocketing energy inputs. The project contains the seeds of its own destruction. Just sad that so many people will suffer and die before it self-destructs.
I so agree, GA.
Working in tech is so enlightening. The young don’t even realize their entire job consists of spinning their wheels and really getting nowhere.
Every day, a new “genius” is awarded a pool of money to develop his new app, which is created to help us manage our other apps, which were promised to help us manage our other apps.
Now you must master about 40 apps to do your daily work. This necessitates a litany of logins and passwords, and then verification via phone, in order to do anything with any app, just about.
It’s laughable. We are less productive, not more.
