All This and World War Too

…perhaps, you can see how the dangerous mischief of RussiaGate, Hillary Clinton’s spoofish punkery that Russia “interfered” in the 2016 election, mutated into a foreign policy psychosis….

For three decades, since the old Soviet Union ended in a whimper, reincarnated Russia asked “the West” for very little, almost nothing, really, certainly not the kind of “aid” that the USA used like a fungo-bat to beat lesser states around the world into hegemonic submission. All Russia asked, after seventy-five years of mass formation communist insanity, was to be treated once again like a normal European nation. Early on, Russia even floated a possible application to NATO, which NATO laughed off — among many other insults to follow.

But slowly after 1991, and then all at once, Europe and the USA fell under their own mass formation spell, apparently at the instigation of a certain Schwabenklaus and his WEF factotums implanted throughout Western Civ, like poison raisins in a fruitcake, rendering the EU members and the USA insane, which is to say no longer able to entertain normal relations with others.

And so, by February of 2022, you get this coalition of lunatic countries — preoccupied at home with the rankest political degeneracy disguised as virtue — provoking a proxy war in Ukraine with the aim of impoverishing, humiliating, and weakening Russia. And despite the massive funding and training of a 200,000-man Ukrainian military poised against the Donbas, the whole thing collapsed in misadventure as a strategic Russian meat-grinder chewed through the West’s proxy army like so much lunchmeat… bringing us up-to-date.

As the psychologist Mattias Desmet points out in his just-published book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, the people tragically locked into a mass formation develop, among many other delusions and psychopathologies, the grandiose idea that they have an ethical duty to destroy other nations. Hence, perhaps, you can see how the dangerous mischief of RussiaGate, Hillary Clinton’s spoofish punkery that Russia “interfered” in the 2016 election, mutated into an American foreign policy psychosis.

By “Hillary Clinton” you must understand I refer not just to the Flying Reptile of Chappaqua herself, but the Party of Chaos she helped create out of the diverse-and-inclusive body parts stitched together from the graveyard of Leftist politics — socialists, communists, feminists, anarchists, Maoists, and Gawd-knows whatever other diverse ists this increasingly crazed coalition of Jacobin maniacs could enlist for beating a path straight into World War Three.

Now, having flopped in the Ukraine theater of conflict, and to the tune of their anthem, Get Russia, the Party of Chaos enters into a suicide pact with NATO as its useful idiot. They are using recent NATO draftee Lithuania to block the movement of railroad shipments between Russia proper and the geographically stranded province known as Kaliningrad Oblast shoehorned on the Baltic Coast between Lithuania and Poland. Kaliningrad had been swapped around by the principalities and kingdoms of the region from time immemorial. Its valuable ice-free port was annexed by Russia in 1758, traded variously to Poland and Prussia since then, and landed back in Russia’s possession after the Second World War. Thus, blocking transport from Russia to Kaliningrad Oblast might be construed as an act of war. Smooth move, NATO….

Britain is banging war drums the loudest at the moment. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, having made a suet pudding of his country’s economy, apparently thinks that World War Three will be a welcome diversion from Old Blighty’s nauseating whirl down the drain of broken empires. Germany, led by the empty suit Olaf Scholz, begins to squirm a little as it contemplates its blunder of going along with “Joe Biden’s” anti-Russia sanctions — which comes down to burning the furniture to stay warm this coming Christmas. France’s Macron just got drubbed in the National Assembly elections and is calling weakly for talks with Russia, as if…. Anyway, Mr. Putin is no longer in the mood for that, having been dissed, demonized, without relent for years, and lately demonetized by the West’s banking system. I love my country and all (though not so much the regime currently running it), but can you blame the Russian president? Hillary can, of course, and still does to this day, and where’s her credibility at now, exactly?

“Joe Biden,” meanwhile, acted out the perfect metaphor illustrating where the USA is at when, on Saturday, in perfect weather, and on-vacation (as usual) at the Delaware beach (because there’s so little to do in Washington these days), he cruised his bicycle into a gentle stop for a photo op with the locals and proceeded to flop over on his side like a 99-cent gyroscope that just can’t keep a’spinnin’ on its poorly-machined axis. That’s kind of like how America will fight a land war in Europe with our army of “vaccinated” myocarditis victims hoisting the rainbow battle flag into the fray.

Speaking of war… the “Joe Biden” regime is already at war with its own citizens, you know, so we’re poised on the edge of the worst sort of a two-front war: at home and abroad. Late last week, and surely with the connivance of the FDA, CDC, and the NIH, the American Board of Internal Medicine threatened to yank Dr. Peter McCullough’s medical license for “providing false and inaccurate information to patients.” Dr. McCullough has been at the forefront of the battle to provide early treatment protocols for Covid-19 that were systematically banned by US government public health agencies for the sole purpose of preserving the emergency use authorization that protects pharma companies from liability for “vaccines” that don’t prevent transmission of disease and have produced millions of injuries including thousands of deaths.

They are messing with the wrong doctor. He has the goods on these malevolent idiots. If he brings a case against them in a court of law, Dr. McCullough, the most published, peer-reviewed cardiologist in the world, is going to prove definitively just how the people of the USA were defrauded and injured by Big Pharma and our own government, and eventually a lot of the people involved will go to jail, or worse, and they know it. That is, if anything is left standing in our country after “Joe Biden” starts World War Three.

For those of you interested in the theory of mass formation, I’ve just posted my podcast with Mattias Desmet from Ghent University, Belgium, the author of The Psychology of Totalitarianism.

    Excellent James, one of your best works ever! You summed it up perfectly and I continue to come to you for all the news that’s fit to print, disinformation be damned!

    I watched a Catherine Austin Fitts interview on USA Watchdog yesterday that was as excellent as they always are what a woman, now there’s another great candidate for leadership to add to Tulsi Gabbard regardless of what anyone is packing in their drawers. She mentioned a vaccination campaign that was launched in Kenya almost ten years ago and the movie that she noted is a must watch. Apparently Big Pharma and the W.H.O. don’t believe that black lives matter and need to be prevented before they start. Check it out folks, the plandemic was not the first attempt to wipe us out…..

    If he brings a case against them in a court of law, Dr. McCullough, the most published, peer-reviewed cardiologist in the world, is going to prove definitively just how the people of the USA were defrauded and injured by Big Pharma and our own government, and eventually a lot of the people involved will go to jail, or worse, and they know it.

    Ahh, Jim! You had me right up until you uttered the phrase “in a court of law.” The courts have been usurped already, or haven’t you heard? They’ll be no relief coming from that quarter. The action will have to be a little more kinetic this time around, I’m afraid.

    Disaffected– You’re a bit too snidely and cavalierly cynical about the courts. Not every judge in the USA is bought off. I don’t like your patronizing tone either. — JHK Admin

      Yes, I believe that it was during one of Jim’s podcasts that Dr. David Martin answered the question of how did Big Pharma get to the point where they could break any laws they chose and own the government. His answer was that once the Judicial System was made to be as corrupt as the other two branches of the government, that anything goes, nothing really matters, and no one really cares.

      Dis,

      As Jim said, not all judges are bought off. Rainer Fuellmich and co. have developed a rather extensive network of legal professionals in multiple countries, and he has on many occasions (including recently) pointed out that they have had quite a bit of success in the US with regard to developing their coming legal challenges.

      The courts are quite bad in some of the European countries, particularly here in Germany, where Merkel had the gall to invite the head of the German Verfassungsgericht to a dinner right before the start of the most drastic measures. And the court has likewise, voted to uphold nearly all of their criminal actions to date.

      Federalism is still alive in the US, and the judiciary likewise appears to still be (at least in part) operating independently of these cockroaches.

      There is a reason OSF (a tentacle of WEF) dumps so much money into local elections. That is how you take over the institutions of an entire country.

      • Hereward the Woke June 20, 2022 at 1:21 pm #

        I side with Dis on this one. Sure, there are still a few good men out there, but there is far too much corruption in our legal system.

        I agree. Jim is wrong on this one.
        The treatment of the Jan 6th prisoners is a perfect illustration of the purpose and practice of the US legal system today.
        In trivial matters, it’s hit and miss and you stand a chance of justice, In matters touching the elites it’s a one-way street.

          The justice system is beyond corrupted.
          Again, we’re talking about career judges/lawyers. Judges are lawyers in a muumuu. The same assholes the clueless and feckless voters call “leaders”

        • Anthea June 22, 2022 at 8:07 am #

          @ Bilejones:

          I have seen many, many examples of judicial corruption, even in “trivial matters” at the local level–and absolute lawlessness among local government officials. Then you have the police, which is a whole ‘nother can of worms.

          Corruption is pervasive to the point where I think everyone in the system takes it for granted that that’s the way things work and the way things are done.

          My information is that bribing lawyers and judges is so pervasive as to virtually be the norm. One of my old friends who owned a lot of rental properties told me that he became so disgusted with this that he set up a couple of lawyers and a judge to accept bribes with marked bills and got them disbarred.

          The city government in the small city where I used to live had a scheme for stealing people’s property. When someone purchased a property, the city printed out a condemnation notice on the printer in their office and tacked it up on the property. No judicial proceeding was involved. Then they’d send the city cop around to arrest the new owner for living in a condemned property. The purpose of this was to allow city government officials or their relatives to buy the property for pennies. This was a fairly common practice during the real estate bubble leading up to 2008. They stopped doing that when real estate prices collapsed, but for several years various city officials were apparently convinced that they were going to get rich from stealing people’s residential properties for pennies and (theoretically) re-selling them for inflated prices. This didn’t work out well for them in the end, but they caused a lot of people a lot of grief.

          The city had another game going with regard to city tax sales. Some years ago, cities were allowed to hold tax sales separately from the county tax sales. A person could buy a property for about $35 or so in delinquent city taxes. I knew of a case where the county court ruled in favor of the holder of the city collector’s deed against a purchaser’s warranty deed–even ignoring proof that the purchaser had redeemed the back city taxes within the legally required timeframe. I assume the judge was bribed. (It’s complicated, I know, but the ruling in this case was INSANE.)

          Shenanigans of this kind were literally rampant during the pre-2008 real estate bubble.

          Then you have the cops. The main job of the town’s city cop was 1) to protect the local drug dealer from being arrested by county or state cops, and 2) to protect him from competition from other local drug dealers. Our local drug dealer was the son of a city council woman, who was, conincidentally, very wealthy. The drug dealer thus remained in business unmolested by law enforcement for ten or fifteen years. To all appearances, the city cop was also acting as a kind of silent partner in the business–collecting his bribe and (it appeared) selling confiscated drugs to the drug dealer. (Local people knew the meet-up location. The cop and the drug dealer always did their meet-up late at night at the bottom of a steep hill where it was pitch dark. This was just down the hill from where I lived.)

          Eventually the state police came around to arrest our local drug dealer–but not without our city cop taking pains to hide the drug dealer’s illegal weapons in his squad car and back him up with a cover story.

          At the county level, too, the county prosecuting attorney allows “connected” people to commit crimes. If you are “connected,” you will never be prosecuted for criminal activity.

          Pre-2008, a property dispute could proceed to the point where one of the disputants (the “connected” one) was threatening children at their school bus stop (a federal crime), and nothing would be done.

          Long story short: This shit has been going on for AT LEAST 20 years. It’s standard operating proceedure.

    • Paula D June 20, 2022 at 12:08 pm #

      It reminds me of the refusal of so many judges to hear any cases of election fraud in 2020. They clearly don’t want to have a “UPS” driver come to their house and shoot their spouse and child.
      Then the shitlib Dems turn around and use their abject cowardice to “prove” that there was no evidence of election fraud.
      The corruption coupled with the idiocy boggles the mind.
      Remember when Cheney took Scalia duckhunting right before the case about his energy task force came to the Supreme Court?
      Entitled clueless Americans may be convinced that there is no end to the crude bubbly on the planet, but Cheney is not that naive. We still don’t know what that task force had to say about getting their hands on the remaining oil, but we do know that the US invaded Iraq and Libya and is currently occupying Syria and stealing its oil.
      Oh, and then there’s the attacks on Russia.

      • Rowdypiglet June 20, 2022 at 12:59 pm #

        What really gets to me is being told by hopeless idiots that the cases failed and there was no proof of fraud, when in fact they were never heard! And if it makes you upset enough to pursue it (as I did with a few relatives) and show them actual proof that the cases never came to trial, and the idiotic reasons given for refusing them, they just repeat what they already said: there was no fraud! You can’t argue with what is essentially a well trained parrot.

        • Paula D June 20, 2022 at 1:22 pm #

          I have also found that out.

          • Ishabaka June 20, 2022 at 4:25 pm #

            This is the essential fact of Wokeism – it is a fundamentalist religion. As such, its believers cannot be persuaded by facts and logic. Imagine trying to persuade a fundamentalist Islamist that Allah is not the One God using facts and logic. It’s the same as trying to persuade your Woke relatives the courts refused to hear the cases of election fraud.

          • Paula D June 20, 2022 at 8:09 pm #

            Great analogy. You are right.

    ‘Nothing Will Be As Before’

    https://thesaker.is/nothing-will-be-as-before/

    Thus, the first or military stage is coming to an end and should be over later this summer. However, this is only the start. The New Ukraine has to be formed. Then there is the demilitarisation and denazification of the rest of Eastern Europe. And there is the economic war, declared by the West, to be finished. On 17June at the International Economic Forum in his native Saint Petersburg, President Putin said:

    ‘After the Cold War the USA declared itself to be the emissaries of God on Earth, without any responsibility, only with interests….Today’s changes in economics and in international politics are tectonic and revolutionary. The Western elites are in a state of delusion, clinging on to the shadow of the past and denying changing reality…Nothing will be as before…The EU has definitively lost its political sovereignty. The current situation in Europe will lead to an outburst of radicalism and in the probable future a change of elites’.

    Here is the future.

    • mitchellc June 20, 2022 at 10:06 am #

      I think we can rightfully conclude that Jim does know what is actually happening, but prefers to continue fishing the political waters. Not necessarily from a rank predilection for trolling his reading audience, but rather his long established default setting.

      For one, are we to honestly conclude that a loose coalition of defectives and degenerates actually wield real political influence? Or in reality, do these misfits simply provide an easily manipulated front for actual deep states policies?

      Speaking of which, following Jim’s thesis, countries have seemingly devolved into silly squabbling nations under the thrall of the self same political theatrics. However, the inconvenient truth is based on very real resource scarcity and limits to growth.

      Taken in that context, the West finds itself strategically boxed in no differently than Japan in 1941. We needed to make a move to secure future sources and we have, in just a slightly less abrupt manner than pearl & singapore.

      That doesn’t negate what this conflict (and all territory disputes going back eons in time) is about; if you understand, than all foreign and domestic policies make perfect sense.

      Elite thinkers intend on both surviving and remaining in control. Losers can go to the devil for all they care.

        I think that our host understand that his messages must contain at least some form of hope for correction even if events tell a story that has no hope at all. Without hope far too many people give up and lie down to await the inevitable.

        Walter B– No, you’re wrong about that. I’m not trying to be Norman Vincent Peale… not blowing smoke up anyone’s ass with “positive thinking” — just calling it as I see it. So, please don’t try to psychoanalyze me or report what you imagine think. — JHK Admin

        There are far too few fools like me to whom hope is unnecessary because all that really matters is to keep fighting. Victory is not nearly as valuable as fighting for what is right and just!

            Walter, I think that Jim is correct that there remain some honest judges in the judiciary; and I believe that, here and there, we have honest people in the other branches. A determined minority of uncorrupted officials remain our best hope against things going kinetic, that, and a heaping dose of Divine Providence, as had happened during The Revolutionary War. At the level of at least some of the individual States, there may be enough resolve to support State nullification of unconstitutional laws, such as may issue from a packed court.

        I agree that growing resource scarcity is the driver. In a better world, the nations could have cooperated with each other to make the most of the resources that remain; Heinberg’s proposed Oil Depletion Protocol is one example. Patents that would have significantly alleviated the scarcity problem would not have been suppressed and/or reserved strictly for military purposes. The late Jay Hanson who ran dieoff.com concluded from his research that: 1) Growing resource scarcity is real, but that 2) human beings are wired for maximizing their use and control of resources, as a way of attracting mates. Call it Hanson’s Tragedy because that humanity is doomed to always overshoot available resources until the Four Horsemen arrive to restore equilibrium. (A science fiction version of Hanson’s Tragedy was “The Mote In God’s Eye”, in which the alien “Moties” had to get pregnant or die.”)

          the elephant in the living room is whether 7 billion souls or more can occupy this planet on an ongoing basis without causing a some kind of catastrophe.

          there have been observations of many kinds, both with critters and with more base physical chemistry systems that demonstrate the nature of systems collapse.

          malthus had the ideas that had been apparently discredited, but his predicted outcomes have been kept a bay by cheap and easy energy – everyone here is at least passing familiar. but i am also equally sure that nuclear energy technology is capable of re-arranging our energy use, and perhaps enabling even more productive use of the entire planet.

          my problem with the wef and elite is how they are positioning all this as a ‘heads i win, tails you lose’ game. we all have a stake, so none of this should be done in secret. can we all open our eyes without going nuts like at the beginning of ww1… i say that’s the only approach that leaves our humanity intact. noah yuval harrari be damned.

            Last thing we need to be doing is following Great Britain’s lead; history proves they’re the world’s biggest liars & most duplicitous actors. For example: in WW1 they started a PR campaign that accused German soldiers of practicing cannibalism on Belgian children, armed merchant ships in direct contravention of the Geneva Convention (which directly led to Germany’s practice of “Unrestricted Submarine Warfare, I.e. “sink on sight”) allowed unescorted passenger ships to continue sailing in war zones, loaded those passenger ships with munitions (see “Lusitania, sinking of”) & lied repeatedly to get us into WW1 – & WW II for that matter.

            If the Germans weren’t so poor @ PR themselves they could’ve turned the tables on them.

          • justanotherguy June 20, 2022 at 8:26 pm #

            i just finished the book “The Guns of August” by Barbara Tuchman.

            i have read several histories of war in the 20th century, and ‘Guns…” is claimed by many to be one of the most comprehensive accounts of the conditions prior to and during the first month of the war.

            nowhere does she mention how churchill at that time rearranged the british navy to move from coal to oil fired, nor was there any mention of how ‘great’ britian played the great game around access to oil in the worldwide sense and maneuvered the world into war to maintain their supra european worldwide empire.

            Yes, the Elite play both sides, as in the Civil War. A foot in every door, money on every number on the wheel. But consider: Do you think they didn’t care who won the Civil War or World War Two?

            Of course they did. They didn’t want an aristocratic neo-classicist agricultural state in the American South. And they didn’t want National Socialism to triumph either. So, who got more aid do you think?

        It would appear, historically, a union of some sort between Russia and Germany would have been detrimental to the British. They likely still think this to be the case.

        Over the past 100+ years their empire has shrunk. The days when ‘the sun never set on the British Empire’ are over. It appears they have not quite caught up to the reality of the situation.

        Mackinder’s Heartland Theory is still in operation, my opinion. It likely contributed to the beginnings of two world wars and regional conflicts. Hopefully it has run enough of a course to be an idea with greatly depleted power backing it this time around.

        I’ll offer the American Empire is probably where the British one was 100+ years ago, it’s just a different flavor of empire. The decline might be accelerated by the entitlement state which has emerged in the US.

        Who will be next? Brazil has come along as a bellwether through the centuries. Who is their current major trading partner? Over the last few decades China has emerged to eclipse the United States in this category for both import and export.

        I don’t think this is a news flash, rather it is a situation (Brazil) which has historic roots back to at least the Portuguese Empire.

        I’ve written this before but Russia as a State is too big anyway, so attempting to whittle it down in size/scope a little might help.

        As an anarchist, it’s like a bunch of enemies fighting each other: Let them go at it.

        As for WW3 breaking out, I doubt it, and some of that might just be yet more fear-mongering/FUD. Keep the masses in a state of FUD and help in some level of control over them.

        If I’m wrong, and WW3 does break out, well, we’re all going to die anyway.

      I just read your link.

      Whether or not the West changes, we are not going back to the situation as it existed on Feb 20.

      Like a large tanker, an apt metaphor, Russia’s energy and natural resource supplies are changing course and headed East, toward the BRICS.

      If tomorrow, the US and EU said “we erred, we will not only accede to all Russian demands, but we agree to Weimar-type demilitarized, de-nazified land-locked state west of the Dnieper, and drop all sanctions immediately”, it is too late, the damage cannot be undone.

      I think many of the elite recognize this and figure, “WTF, it’s a moot point, let’s keep the fight to the last Ukranian and bleed Russia as best we can”

      However, I hope many recognize that, while we cannot go back, at best, the economic consequences for the West AND the world will get even worse, and at worse, the conflict will escalate into a nuclear confrontation.

      I’m not sure what he was doing on a racing bike in the first place. Beach communities seem to have plenty of those quaint-looking touring bikes available, there’s even a picture of Barack Obama riding one at Martha’s Vineyard or someplace.

      That’s something I’ve noticed in general, in the last few years. Adults who want to ride a bicycle just for fun and exercise have stop getting all kitted out like Lance Armstrong.

      Good one, Penelope!

      Seriously, a trike is actually an excellent option for seniors who want to stay on the road.

      Especially in the coming Green-O-cene planned by our God Players to follow the Anthropocene.

      There are some very good trikes out there.

      Biden could have ridden the green trike talk instead of ignominiously keeling over.

      Frankly, IMO there is something inherently ridiculous in the commander in chief wearing a bike helmet, hairy legs an’ all.

      His handlers should have wound him up and set him in motion with a real combat helmet on his noggin!!

      Meanwhile, another great post!
      OMG.
      We are so effed!

      From my Moscow financial-analyst correspondent this a.m.:

      Re: “One friend called me up to fume that Putin is a neoliberal!!!” [[a friend of mine—Islander]]
      In my opinion, he [Putin] is, first of all, a pragmatic politician free from ideological dogmas, who had to adapt from the very beginning of his governance to the existing global financial and trade systems based on the neoliberal principles. The Russian economy was reformed in the 1990s and the 2000s according to these principles and it is still managed to a large extent by neoliberals. I think that he does not trust too much to Glaziev and other anti-liberals, because he does not want to make experiments in the economy. On the other hand, the reality enforces him to refuse the neoliberal model and to learn by doing.
      +++++++++++++++++++

      Dear Putin,
      Help!!

          • Anthea June 22, 2022 at 9:57 am #

            @ hmuller:

            I’ve often noted that irony. Trump was a “dictator,” but the leftists who oppose 2nd Amendment rights and who supported the wholesale abridgement of Constitutional rights during the covid scam were not.

            It was perfectly okay to restrict travel, place whole cities under house arrest without due process, deny freedom of assembly, take private property without due process (closing business and deny landlords the right to collect rent), and force people to undergo medical procedures, as well as use medical devices (masks).

            I noticed that my leftist Facebook friends were all in favor of these things, while railing against Trump as a “tyrant.” When I responded by saying, “I thought you were agaist tyranny,” they unfriended me.

            These people are very much in favor of tyranny–and advocates for every kind of evil, up to and including murdering the unborn, in some cases even after they’re born. This stuff goes far beyond merely wanting their own way or wanting to bully and coerce others; it amounts to a hatred for humanity and for all that is decent, honorable, and humane. In other words, it is Satanic.

            Here’s another newsflash for you, you arrogant fuck:

            Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) on Tuesday said he repeatedly pressed Rudy Giuliani for proof of his claims of election fraud after the 2020 election, but added that Giuliani failed to produce any.

            “My recollection, he said, ‘We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence,’” Bowers told the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack at Tuesday’s hearing.

            Kids don’t like lots of things that adults like.

            The fact that it was an adult who brought it into the office to get rid of it should have given me pause. Actually it did, but I was going to settle the issue in my own mind once and for all.

            I did not finish the sliver. It was like pulverized particle board or something.

            I think the appeal of the old ones was all the booze that soaked into them.

            It gave teetotaller abstinent puritanical types an excuse to consume alcohol, in the form of a brick. A somewhat spongy brick.

            I must come to the defense of fruit cake. It’s one of those things that is either superb or inedible. You might be put off trying a real brick oven pizza if you thought “pizza” consisted of ketchup and melted American cheese on half a commercial hamburger role. First, you must start by making your own candied fruit, as the commercial kind is unspeakable. Most people have never had anything remotely like fruit cake. My grandmother made her own every year, and people begged piteously to receive one. I’d try to duplicate it, but she made her own brandy too. Peach brandy. Divine.

            Back in the ‘60’s I acquired a copy of “The Original Kentucky Bourbon fruit cake.

            We made it at Thanksgiving and then it would sit in a container covered with a cheesecloth soaked in the bourbon.

            Positively delicious!

    60 minutes had a propaganda segment on it last night that was trying to stir up hatred towards the evil Russians.

Our government is crazy to play such dangerous games.

        It seems that the international federation in charge of water sports has decided that allowing a man who has already competed in men’s swimming events to take a few pills and compete against the girls isn’t fair, so they are changing the rules and now boys have to start the switch by age twelve.

    • Anthea June 20, 2022 at 11:13 am #

      @ draupnir:

      The prize in this conflict is Russian resources, and there are only two ways to get them: It’s either land invasion or internal subversion through the banking and monetary system (along with subversion by NGOs and the “long march through the institutions” that the West has undergone).

      The internal subversion method does not look very promising at present and has poor future prospects. Russia has already “been there/done that” and is both psychologically immune and operating from a position of power–not weak enough to fall prey to such shenanigans out of desperation.

      So it looks like it has to go to a “hot war” scenario at some point.

      If you wanted to play the prophet and predict how this will play out, you would have to figure out what kind of military action would actually “work” to defeat Russia and gain control of her resources. Or, at least, what Western elites THINK would work.

      It seems to me that a military invasion by the US/NATO is clearly a losing proposition. The only land invasion that has the slightest possibility of success would be invasion by China. They have both the military might and the surplus population. And they’re motivated. Russia would probably bomb them off the map if they attempted this, and this would obviously be of no advantage to Western elites, anyway. In such a case, though, Russia would have no alternative but to nuke the crap out of China. I don’t think Russia could win a conventional war with an enemy with such overwhelming numbers, plus they’d be looking at fighting a two-front war in such a case.

      So the bottom line is, does Russia have enough nukes to take out China with plenty left over for Europe and the US? I don’t know, but I’ll bet their people in charge are a lot smarter than li’l ole me. Plus China knows better than to try to invade Russia anyway, nor is this China’s usual way of doing things.

      Anyway, it seems to me that Western elites have exactly zero prospects for either a de facto or de jure conquest of Russia, short of nukes. And, while the outcome of the nuke game is highly uncertain, it’s the only card they have, it seems to me.

      The next question is, how does that play out? Anyone have any guesses?

      • Jarek June 20, 2022 at 11:27 am #

        The Chinese are gradually taking back the nice parts of Siberia they lost to Russia a couple of centuries ago via illegal immigration.

            Over time I’ve developed the opinion that the WEF is now targeting Russia and latter China given their resources. That suggest that China is not in cahoots with WEF. Or, maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

            BTW, I am re-reading Andrew Lobezewki’s book, Political Ponerology (which comes from a translation of the study of political evil). He’s a psychologist, deceased a couple years ago, trained in Poland during the rise of communism. He looks at things from the standpoint of how socially adept psychopaths (i.e. those not in prison and able to be charming when needed, e.g. the clintons, bidens, etc, perhaps most politicos) rise to power and keep it.

            Very scary read, as the central euro commies went by what appears to be the same playbook being acted out here in the USCorp, e.g. dividing ethnic groups against one another, promoting certain unqualified groups over others, enforcing rules of language, banning ‘wrong’ attitudes, attacking the family, glorifying deviant sexuality, attacking the middle class, and even bringing up issues of what seems to be akin to environmental justice (even in the 40s and 50s). Check it out.

            “That suggest that China is not in cahoots with WEF. Or, maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.”

            I’m not attempting to answer your point directly, neurodoc, but you might be interested in this Corbett Report session with Iain Davis (author of ‘The New Normal Techocracy’), which discusses Russia and China early on (from about 6 minutes in, so you might as well start at the beginning, to about 16.5 minutes.

            stillnessinthestorm.com/2022/04/iain-davis-on-the-new-world-order-and-how-to-oppose-it-james-corbett-interview/

            Iain D. produces documentation which demonstrates pretty convincingly that Russia and China support the UN 2030 sustainability agenda, the green agenda and the vaxx agenda, but are engaged in a common or garden power struggle and just have a slightly different version in mind. As Corbett suggests, they are fighting over seats at the table, but there’s no argument about the nature of the table.

            greenalba – that seems to suggest that the possible corollary, vlad putin operating on behalf of a larger deeper elite effort is in fact the case.

            that may be one of the biggest questions under all this, and as such, the standard of proof for that assertion is high. is davis up to it?

          • GreenAlba June 21, 2022 at 7:53 am #

            The question is not if Davis is up to it – it is if the evidence is up to it. As well as his own online hangout, ‘In this together’, Iain D. contributes regularly to UK Column, who specifically tell their viewers and readers not to believe anything they say, but to do their own research.

            So the question is how did you view the documented evidence Iain D. offered in the video? Not everyone agrees with him. But then not everyone thinks the vaxxes are harmful either.

          • justanotherguy June 21, 2022 at 12:23 pm #

            i did watch it, of course.

            the problem with so many expositions of technocracy, is that it is presented as this monolithic juggernaut with a long history, and a trajectory of inevitability. that is the general view of those on the outside looking in.

            see: youtu.be/wNkDiBOO4H0

            patrick wood wrote ‘technocracy rising’, and reviews it in the video.

            two things:

            first, it is another ‘we will rule the world’ movement like so many others, which differs by its methods, but is similar in its appeal to the worst most corruptible aspects of human nature. the inevitable corruption will be its failure.

            second, its self promoted appeal is the purported efficiency of the technocratic ideal system. it is axiomatic that there is an inverse relationship between efficiency and durability. we are seeing that now with just-in-time systems of every kind, extreme complexity (for the sake of efficient allocation of money) and fragility in financial systems, narrative control, etc.. pursuit of efficiency of control will fail on a human level, because humans (and most all animals for that matter) have an instinctual resistance to compulsion.

            i’ve been reading about technocracy for 20 years, and it is always presented as the ultimate bogeyman, just waiting to construct a digital panopticon.

            i propose that humans will always resist – and that technocracy is business as usual – God and the devil doing battle.

            the real test will be central bank digital currencies – which will fail.

          • justanotherguy June 21, 2022 at 1:02 pm #

            to finish the thought, china and russia can offer statements consistent with technocratic principles at no cost – in other words, playing along.

            both can also exert control within their national spheres using technocratic methods, without ceding control of any resources to outside or globalist technocratic control.

            in short, both china and russia may be saying globalist things, but both are still acting entirely within their national interest.

            i remain unconvinced that russia and china are playing along with globalism / wef by davis’ presentation.

      • mitchellc June 20, 2022 at 11:34 am #

        Finally we’re starting to get some strategic geo-pol considerations.

        I think the US loses under any scenario. However, like the same decision Japan faced, even a miniscule chance was better than a 100% guarantee. So, here we go.

        As you say, a land war was always a non starter; it has to be a media and financial effort. It only took 2 generations to destroy western civ, so I presume the time remaining before our wells run dry matches up to an excellerated schedule of sabotaging Russian culture.

        But of course the odds of that occurring are practically non existent, so there is always the fail safe option. Let’s call it the werner von Braun play.

        As in, the best minds take a long circuitious journey to reach the eastern front (who says doG doesn’t have a sense of humor?), escaping the imploding west, and are soon feted Disney style as great Russian patriots.

          The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that provoking a nuclear war makes a lot of sense, in terms of the objectives of Western elites. You would assume that Russia would take out both US military installations and major US cities, thus ridding the nation of much of its fractious and stupid population. US resources would (I think) remain largely intact. Probably much of the rural population would survive. A nuclear exchange would mostly just get rid of the dead wood. All in all, this would be a win for the elites–who probably figure that the surviving population would beg to go to work for them

          The main problem with nuking the major population centers is that they are usually located in desirable port locations or at the confluence of navigable rivers. They are where they are for a reason.

          Pretty much the same situation would obtain in the case of Russia–and probably Europe. The cities would be gone and the population much reduced.

          So how do the elites take control of Russia and her resources? You need people for that. But there will be plenty of leftover people in China, India, Africa, and South America. The biggest post-nuclear-war problem faced by the elites would be keeping China from taking over Russia and her resources. So I’m thinking that arrangements must be made so that China also gets well nuked. This is probably easily arranged.

          Of course “everybody who is anybody” will have decamped to relatively safe regions before the fuse is lit. How will they (they hope) come out?

          Well, the threat to the international banking system would have been removed, there would be plenty of people left in the world to exploit using the customary methods, and they’d have a good shot a controlling both US and Russian resources.

          But maybe I’m making assumptions about the survivability of nuclear war.

            EMP bombs stop all electronics, shut down the grid.

            Bombs exist, I do not remember the name, that explode, destroy all human life, and leave infrastructure intact with low radioactivity load.

            Bombs exist, cobalt, that destroy everything and irradiate everything for thousands of years.

            Non nuclear bombs exist that suck the oxygen out of the air over a large radius killing everything. MOAB. Been used.

            Russia set off a 50 megaton hydrogen bomb during the Cold War. It would obliterate everything from the East Coast halfway to Chicago.

            A few idiots think our anti-ballistic systems are going to stop the destruction. Ha! Israel’s Iron Dome let’s through missiles.

            Do not forget the subs. Both sides have enough power hidden in the oceans to obliterate the other side. I know personally what the capability of the subs to be able to deliver their payloads. I believe the subs is what finally got the two sides to acknowledge MAD.

            The books, Nuclear War Survival Skills, by Dr. Cresson Kearny (a scientist from Oak Ridge Nuke Research) and Nuclear War Survival by the Sec. of Defense for Nuclear Matters (interestingly published in March 2022), both rather clearly show that many many people will survive a nuclear war between the super powers. The dominant models indicate attacks on selectively on large cities and military sites, as you indicate. The main problem, which is clearly solvable, is fallout carried by winds. The solution being turn off the heater/AC, seal all windows and doors and stay inside until most of the fallout has fallen to ground (usually 1-2 wks). Get a Geiger Counter and a lot of good quality tape.

          • Anthea June 21, 2022 at 3:58 am #

            Above, I was making the case for why Western elites (bankers) might be okay with inciting a nuclear war–figuring they would come out on top.

            But it could be that Russia, if their hand were forced, recognizes that they could only emerge as the ultimate “winners” by taking out the true Western power elites, along with their minions in the US and Europe–the military and the politicians. As someone observed further down the thread, the Russians undoutedly know where their hidey-holes are.

            Sounds good so far, but Russia cannot afford the population loss that would result from such an exchange. There are only a couple of ways to prevent that, and neither seems to me to be practical. One would be a first strike that would neutralize any possible retaliation. (Probably not do-able.) The other would be to disperse their population so that they didn’t have any densely populated urban centers to hit. (Also probably not do-able.)

          I think when you say “the US loses,” you are assuming that Western elites give two shits about the US–which is just a puppet they use for their own ends. The objective is for the international bankers to win.They would cheerfully sacrifice the US and everyone in it to keep their game going.

        A land invasion is an act of total despiration. I don’t believe a land war in Russia is winable. I think Tamerlane did it partially succcessfully in the south, but he never extended his empire to include the vast majority of it. If they don;t start flinging nukes, and I have no reason to believe they will not, the Russians will use variations of their tactics that were successful in the past, burning the crops in the fields and retreating before the advance. Some army always ends up walking home barefoot from St. Petersburg in winter.

            (If I may…) “Never get involved in a land war in Asia” was as I recall a latter-day pronouncement from His Majesty (as Truman referred to him) General Douglas “Dugout Doug” MacArthur.

            That pithy admonishment was brought up time and again during the futile Vietnam adventure.

        Military maneuvering is a closed book to me. I’ve tried to open the book several times, but my mind just doesn’t work that way. But I was interested in reading recently (I think it was on the Saker’s site) that the West has completely failed to understand Russia’s strategy in Ukraine and has assumed they would just do what we would do. When they don’t do what we would do, we stupidly assume they meant to but couldn’t manage it. In fact, they’re conducting an entirely other kind of military operation – one that has worked quite well – and we’re simply too stupid to see it for what it is. We’re like someone who knows only three chess moves and can’t imagine that there are any others, and that someone else might make use of them.

        • Paula D June 20, 2022 at 1:31 pm #

          Right, Rowdy.
          The US uses Shock and Awe, blowing up all infrastructure, bridges, dams, electric plants, water and sewage treatment, grain siloes, and thousands of people.
          Russia didn’t do that. Civilian infrastructure remains intact. Gonzalo Lira still posts YouTube videos from Kharkov and Kievians move normally around their city.
          The American mind cannot comprehend this. Just attack military targets and soldiers????
          Russia must be incompetent.

          • Hereward the Woke June 20, 2022 at 1:40 pm #

            It looks like the Russians completely wrong-footed the Western “experts”. Putin clearly stated that a key aim was to degrade the Ukie military. That takes time and attrition, or you get what happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, where you do Shock and Awe and find that you missed most of the enemy combatants. Also, he didn’t commit his airpower and risk enormous losses from the US provided anti-aircraft defences. Putin is so far ahead of the pygmies who control the West.

          • Not_GeorgeT June 20, 2022 at 8:45 pm #

            It was termed a special military operation with stated objectives which define its conclusion.

    Another magnificent essay by JHK. I fear that he places to much faith in the Courts. What i admire most about JHK and Mark Steyn is their use of the English language. Their use of thinly veiled sarcasm is most amusing and informative, and the way they breakdown the BullSpit so i can understand what is really going on.

      That’s what was so exciting about the Johnny Depp trial. Yes, it wasn’t a criminal case, but the system did work as it was supposed to.

      The MSM made a lot of noise afterward to try to hide that.

      Speaking of Mark Steyn, after a long, arduous, and expensive battle, he won an important court victory.

      You’d never know it happened from the reporting though.

      It seems to depend a lot on which courts, and in which districts.

        I know I am beating a drum, but the lack of studies, data on the cause of adverse effects, NOT VAERs data, lack of tissue biopsies and yes autopsies allow the Vaxx supporters to go along with their ignoring the bad effects of the Vaxx. Recent data about the accumulative role of the s protein in problems is ignored and the human toll is collateral damage. It seems the entire government thinks of itself as the CIA.

        McCollough is just another conspiracy theorist to the government and his approaching the judiciary with lawsuits will have the same effect as Trump’s charges of election fraud.

        • Islander June 20, 2022 at 12:31 pm #

            To the government, he is a conspiracy theorist, not to me.

            To me, he was a prophet who was accurately identifying what he saw as potential problems with messing with the immune system. What has been discovered since has validated his fears.

            We still do not know Jack about the real causes of vaxx toxicity, thanks to the Fauci led government, but independents like Chetty in South Africa, thanks GA, are started the needed tear down of mRNA and s Proteins.

          • neurodoc June 20, 2022 at 3:18 pm #

            Fauci is also a physician, and I don’t believe even 1/4th of what he says and neither do about 60% of other physicians (the ama lies about the % of doctors that support the vaxx). However, I agree with AZ that it is questionable as to whether justice can be obtained from ‘the courts.’ My experience with courts (mostly county, southern midwestern state and appeals courts focusing on injured patients fighting big BIZ over work injuries) is not very optimistic. Most big corps have well trained LEGIONS of lawyers just waiting to pounce in their master’s defense.

        The ice was to have all melted by now, and the climate too warm to form any new ice.

        I should have started up a new business last winter. Gotten an old shed and some sawdust, and hired some strong men over the winter to harvest ice for when people’s freezers quit working because they shut our power off to make the food we have stockpiled spoil.

          Beryl

          One thing that I believe the climate alarmists have totally missed is what happens when the ice comes off higher latitudes and ocean currents can extend up into the Arctic Ocean. The Gulf Syream is number one on the list but if the Bering strait expands and allows sea movement the currents could link up around Canada and Siberia.

          What would that do?

        • Islander June 20, 2022 at 12:41 pm #

          Yes, in my “youth” we still called the refrigerator the ice box.

          We actually had an old ice box standing up against a wall behind our barn. Wooden lined with metal—probably lead. It had four separate compartments, each with a door and a strong latch.

          We were warned not to even dream of playing in it because it still had the old doors on it, with serious latches. I suppose my father thought it might still see some use!

          Ice House Hill was the best for for coasting down “no hands” on one’s bike. The nearby pond of the same name had been a major source of ice for “export.” Blocks of ice lasted surprisingly long if properly packed in sawdust.

    Wishful thinkers like myself at times, hope that things will turn around if conservatives, not GOP, conservatives take over first the Congress then the WH. The hope is that the Stupidification of America can be reversed and folks will reconsider their freedom.

    Then I turn on the news, read the blog, and my short lived optimism takes a hit.

    I will say, if the election is cancelled or the Dems pull a “miracle”, optimism is dead.

    Polls last week show 57% disapprove of Biden and 42% approve.

    Omigod, 42%, how can anyone relatively intelligent and sane be part of the 42%?

    Disaffected pointed out that our courts are (essentially) gone. However, David Martin has mentioned that even small cases should be pursued vigorously to break the damn. Start with the Peter Daszak operation along with his now infamous quote regarding the use of media hype to get investors on board. The other thing I wonder about is to what extent the impetus to prosecute will come from non-Western sources. The Russians for example, continue to relentlessly release alleged evidence about the Ukranian biolabs. Some of the biolab stories, which could be true, have plots that come straight out of horror movies.

    • Disaffected June 20, 2022 at 12:42 pm #

      The biolabs open a whole can of worms that will eventually lead directly back to 9-11 and all the events in between if pursued vigorously. Needless to say, those will have to be pursued in international courts, which the US will no doubt refuse to recognize, just as they do now. But as we learned in the aftermath of WWII, to the victors go the spoils, so if/when Russia and China finally put the rabid US imperialist dog down for good, I’d expect all of that to come out, and oh what a story THAT will be!

      I have toured enough Civil War Battlefields to know the sacrifices that the White race made back in the day to preserve our country and throw off the yoke of oppression from the Black race.

          Just have to laugh about this, it gives people an extra excuse to congregate and shoot it up in the streets. Even the Blacks don’t care about the symbolic history behind their holiday, they only see it as another reason to shoot and kill their own.

    Joe Biden recently “cruised his bicycle into a gentle stop for a photo op with the locals and proceeded to flop over…” There is speculation that Biden was riding a racing bike. However, this photo op was so poorly documented that I can’t tell if his bike had tow clips on the pedals that might have caught one of his feet. Anyway, falling off a bike when standing still with your feet on the ground does require a special talent.

        President Joe Biden is obviously suffering from severe, age-related cognitive difficulties. Forcing him to parade around in public, making a fool of himself, is elder abuse. But removing Biden from office would install Kamala Harris as president, which would be even worse. Removing Harris from office would install Nancy Pelosi as president. We are so totally screwed!

    A Sisyphean apothegm

    Why do humans long for God?
    Because humans are perfect questions (questions to which there isn’t a definite answer) and God is the perfect answer (an answer that doesn’t require any question.)

    (Question/answer pairs are neither answers nor questions – they form a conclusion, and conclusions are unnatural because with their beginnings and endings they don’t respect the cyclical nature of the Universe.)

      You are precisely correct they are using June to groom us on a societal level.

      They also use June to help normalize that lifestyle by aligning it with the beginning of summer, the sunshine, blue skies, the beach, being outdoors, etc.

      It’s quite insidious if one thinks about it.

    It was not lost on me that we are to celebrate a joke of a holiday put in place by a man tat is confused about what it actually even is.
    I heard a sound clip about Biden claiming it was the massacre of black wall street!

    Why not celebrate the Emancipation proclamation date instead?
    January 1, 1863
    President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”

    First and foremost that would require the American people to acknowledge that Republicans freed the slaves and Democrats fought against that freedom!

    The other in your face at least about the current date was it also falls on Fathers day and fatherhood is something of a joke in Americas ghettos.

      The Emancipation Proclamation was just a piece of paper until the war ended in 1865. When the north sent their military governments into the South, the Proclamation was enforced. Juneteenth, I believe celebrates the news of jubilee, Freedom reaching the last outposts in Texas.

      Your last sentence is spot on. I have often heard that the Black matriarchal society originated in Africa and has followed them through slavery until today.

      It is as though they are content to maintain a matriarchal nanny state. I know that is what all the BLM, NAACP, and other black leaders have pushed for 160 years since the first Juneteenth.

      • cowbell81 June 20, 2022 at 12:32 pm #

        And alas, to think that Liberia could have been the saving grace of the USA, and of the Black race. They would have had their own homeland to plunder and destroy instead of suburbanized south Chicago and Philadelphia.

      • Jarek June 20, 2022 at 1:21 pm #

        Well the original African system was usually Patriarchy, with loose nuclear family ties, but strong clan and tribal ties. If a boy doesn’t see his father much, then he’ll see his maternal uncles a lot. Plus there was the village elders and the adolescent initiation.

        Not a great system for women in its original form perhaps. But now they get more power in the degraded American form. Probably a lesser degree of it over there as well, at least in the cities.

        • Alzaebo June 20, 2022 at 7:50 pm #

        Military Occupation.

        A Constitutional Crisis settled by force of arms rather than the court system.

        Civil War is a misnomer, War of Northern Aggression is more appropriate. It is still referred to as such in some parts of the country.

        The Right to Secede from one state to form another state has a process. West Virginia is an example. The colony of Virginia was much larger than the present day Commonwealth of Virginia. Other movements in areas such as the Northwest and Northern California have similar ideas of redrawn boundaries and possibly formation of a couple of new states.

        However, what if a state wants to leave the Union of States? The last time is was war, death and destruction as one faction forced its will on another.

        The states in the CSA did not attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. They wanted to remove themselves and have their own confederation of states (CSA).

        Regarding the Emancipation Proclamation, its intent was to impact the seceding states.

        If one reads the text, it has a paragraph specifically concerning slaves in the rebellious states (words used in the Proclamation). The following paragraph makes clear it has no impact (no emancipation) in the states not in rebellion, those states also being represented in the Congress of the United States.

        I’ll leave the financial situation in the 1860’s to a future opportunity to make comment, along with reasons why a weakened group of states in North America might have benefited the Europeans, particularly the British Empire and the City of London. Wall Street financial interests were also in play.

        Possibly some of this sounds like situations faced today?

        Civil strife isn’t a good idea. Avoiding it while preserving the Constitutional Republic is playing out to be quite the challenge.

    • Redneck Liberal June 20, 2022 at 9:28 pm #

      It was June 1865 when the slaves “got the memo”.

      • hmuller June 21, 2022 at 7:32 pm #

        The events remembered by Juneteenth happened in June 1862.
        Lincoln’s proclamation could have easily been ruled unconstitutional, in that it deprived slaveowners of their property without compensation.
        The thirteenth amendment settled the issue of emancipation beyond challenge in 1866.

    Strawman for discussion.

    Could it ever that the real reason for the seeming loss of skilled workers in the US is not Covid as the government is busily saying.

    Could it be the three generations of people since the Boomers have lazily gone off to college, where that have not learned squat of real value. For example, learning to pilot an airplane takes first college then years of training to get the needed skills. Same with engineers, computer folks etc.

    So we have a scarcity of skilled labor in the three generations. College degrees in the areas acquired are just a piece of paper.

    Covid hits.

    The boomer generation decides it is time to retire, they have been the ones flying the planes etc.

    There is only a percentage of folks spread across the following generations, so airplanes are not manned.

    These three generations have not produced enough skilled individuals to man the American economic engine.

    The stupification of America is working well? We are now seeing the other side of the coin.

    Not enough labor in every field.

    BTW, all the retirees are not actively looking for work, so they are making the unemployment numbers look much better than they actually are.

    Think about it, how can we be at 3.8% unemployment when we cannot man our airplanes or oil derricks or refineries etc. This country has become a paper tiger, economically speaking, thanks to the onslaught of the socialist drift of three generations.

    Talk about a lousy deal. The federal government paying off the student debt for the biggest group of college educated losers in history.

      JAZ-

      I believe you are correct that the Boomers and some early Xers are the ones holding things together.

      I also believe that the youth are not totally irrational to check out on the broken system in front of them.

      In this, they are mimicking the Chinese youth who have created the, “lay flat,” and, “let it rot,” movements

      • Not_GeorgeT June 21, 2022 at 12:51 am #

        The Xers are sort of stuck in a place where they have to do something. They’ve been outnumbered for years, facing the gigantic challenge of competing with the almost overwhelming number of Boomers. Those Boomers are retiring in some manner, and also at the point of dying off. Vacuum to be filled by Xers, at least for a while.

        There are Millenials who are realizing they need to step up.

        Seems the Zoomers don’t have as much initiative, the basement is a better place.

        And on that note, they’ve been ‘taught’ staying in the basement is the path to the White House.

        Just bide (or ‘Biden’) your time and the dream job will come to you.

        What could possibly go wrong?

    • Not_GeorgeT June 21, 2022 at 12:57 am #

      3.8%… it’s all in the details.

      BLS U-3 tells one story. Look further down to U-6, it is quite a different story.

      Hint: U-3 looks and sounds better than U-6. Just keep feeding bs to the masses. Most won’t do any background research.

      Which moves towards one of the ways this mess came to be.

    • neurodoc June 22, 2022 at 1:39 pm #

      ‘The boomer generation decides it is time to retire, they have been the ones flying the planes etc.’

      I think this idea clearly applies to medical care, that we have all seen deteriorate rapidly over the past decade. Boomer Doctors retire, gen x and older millenials take over.

      I saw the quality of residents attendings at ‘good’ medical centers deteriorate severely over the past decade, as my mentors and colleagues retired. If the average person had contact with today’s medicine residents, in a setting where you could freely evaluate their knowledge and reasoning skills, no one would go near a hospital unless absolutely a last resort life necessity.

      “Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
      Packed up and ready to go
      Heard of some gravesites out by the highway
      A place where nobody knows
      The sound of gunfire off in the distance
      I’m getting used to it now
      Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
      I’ve lived all over this town

Whereas, with the podcast, I’m usually listening as I’m doing something else and not sitting at my computer – so it’s more like having the tv on while you’re ironing, except of course that everything on tv is garbage and you’d have to be masochistically (word?) insane to turn it on.

    Its interesting to note that Russia offered to return Kaliningrad to Germany sometime in the early 2000s; Germany turned down the offer.

    Antagonizing Russia, those Baltic States are playing with fire. It’s one thing to poke the bear from faraway DC, but poking a bear who is cheek by jowl with you can have disastrous consequences. (Incidentally, a big black bear showed up in my front yard yesterday afternoon)

    I’m anxious to see how western media spins the news when Ukraine surrenders, which should be any day. The narrative for the first 3 months is the Z was kicking Putin’s a$$ all over the steppe.

      All great points, Marlin, especially that last paragraph. I guess we sunk a dry hole with those billions of Ukranian aid. I wonder how the guy who can’t ride a bike and showers with his daughter is going to spin that one

      • cowbell81 June 20, 2022 at 1:16 pm #

        I imagine it will be something along the lines:

        “The Zelenskyy regime had fought a hard battle and the Ukrainians are victorious. Russia has agreed to cease hostilities and give up fighting for any more territory. The Ukrainian people have always been and always will be our strongest allies. We will build them back better and help their country along the path to full righteousness.”

    • Jarek June 20, 2022 at 1:16 pm #

      No, the battle will shift to Lithuania, and Zelensky will conduct a guerilla war against the remaining Russian forces in Ukraine. This is what he was put in power to do.

      • stelmosfire June 20, 2022 at 3:09 pm #

        Magilla Gorilla ain’t gonna cut it. Russia has many eyes and ears on the ground in Ukraine. There are no secret hiding places. Vlad sees and hears all. Many people in Ukraine actually want to be free of the Western yoke.

        • Redneck Liberal June 20, 2022 at 9:34 pm #

          “Vlad sees and hears all.”

          I was impressed with a document UKC news showed of a Russian list of all mercenaries from all countries, fighting in Ukraine, with the totals in, totals ‘eliminated’, totals departed home and totals left in the country. People are whining about the two British mercenaries who’ve been condemed to death (under international law, according to Sergei Lavrov), after Priti Patel specifically encouraging Brits to go and fight (later retracted by someone else, but a bit late). At least one of them had already fought in Syria.

          • hmuller June 22, 2022 at 9:52 am #

      The war part isn’t the point. It’s all about the US leaving a lit bag of dog shit on the front door of Russia. Ringing the doorbell and watching them clean up the mess after they try and put out the fire.

    It puzzles me a little bit that so many CFNers wonder why our “leadership” seems to be pushing for nuclear war. Consider this; when psychopaths/sociopaths (your choice) sense they are in a losing position, they usually have no qualms whatsoever about “kicking over the chess board.” Yes, “winning” (or at least not losing) is just that important – to them. To ask “why” is as fruitless pondering why the crazy man killed his family, because the crazies are not ruled by logic – at least not the logic we would recognize.

    Great write up Jim, although I have to say I’m a pessimist when it comes to the US court system.

    2 thoughts

    How is it that the people that are morally outraged about Russia invading Ukraine now cannot see that Ukraine is being used as a pawn of the west, losing thousands of soldiers a week with no hope of winning?

    Was the aim of provoking Russia into this war really about destroying the aspirations of China’s Belt and Road? All of continental Europe was signed up to be big players in the Belt and Road, especially Italy and Poland. Now with Xi’s support of Russia these trade results will be closed.

    • cowbell81 June 20, 2022 at 1:55 pm #

      While China builds their belt and road to favored trading partners only, Western Europe and the USA will have to engage in belt tightening and less traveling on the roads, which will likely be very difficult for the large girths that I frequently see in our American cities, and because of the higher gas prices.

      China and Russia are certainly doing it right, shutting down their connections to the outside world which is corrupt to the core, and pursing their own private agendas towards making their countries great and prosperous. They certainly don’t need the rest of the world, and will likely be better off for it.

      • happiface June 20, 2022 at 2:35 pm #

        it will be a grand journey to able to drive to LA to where ever with only a few cars on the road,mostly only trucks in convoys like years ago–in the 60ties we had a cb radio in our vw van and would run with the trucks jabbering away,stopping along the way,they really liked our girls!! it was the greatest of times… this usa today SUCKS!!!

        Don’t forget India as part of Eurasia.

        • cowbell81 June 20, 2022 at 3:19 pm #

          Yeah, who are those 42% of the population that can’t thank Grandpap Joe enough for making this country into a 3rd World shithole? Do the coastal elites and Hollywood entertainers count for extra percentage points when they are conducting these surveys?

          All any candidate needs to ask in the mid-term and leading up to 2024 is “are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?” That should just about seal the deal, barring more voter fraud and any subversion to shut down the elections.

        Cowbell, why do you think China is “great and prosperous”? Their country is a toxic waste zone, most of their water is reportedly undrinkable. They have severe debt problems like the west, they are now looking at bank runs and uncontrolled civil unrest is a very real possibility. They are suffering energy shortages and have a big liability of needing to feed so many people. Look for them to make desperate moves soon. Russia, on the other hand, looks strong. They got so many resources, a leader who doesn’t seem to be a puppet, a 19% debt/GDP ratio (unlike 134% in the US). They’ve been through this Bolshevik nightmare and are ready to reject it and prosper, unlike the US where weak men with boobs create hard times.

        • cowbell81 June 20, 2022 at 3:45 pm #

          Honestly, I’m not as much a fan of China as I am Russia. China always comes across as kind of a parasite, even many of the native Russians that live in China border zones feel this way.

          However, say what you will but China has a way of getting things done, namely due to central government drive and sheer manpower. Indeed, their bridges and buildings may collapse because of shoddy materials and poor workmanship, but they stick to a job and get it done hell or high water.

          I don’t think the Chinese people will ever have the means to rise up against their government. They are stuck with what they have and seem comfortable with it, for the most part.

    • JohnAZ June 20, 2022 at 3:21 pm #

      I do not think the flip floppers in Europe will do anything to deter China’s Silk Road. Germany is already wavering on its gas embargo.

      If they had admitted Putin to NATO, what a different world it would be today. Guess who would have lost impact if Russia joined Europe. Yup, the ones who put the kabosh on it, Us.

    “For three decades, since the old Soviet Union ended in a whimper, reincarnated Russia asked ‘the West’ for very little… All Russia asked… was to be treated once again like a normal European nation.”

    Perhaps ‘asking’ was the problem. ‘The Indispensable Nation!’ detected weakness. And instead of pursuing a responsible course of mutual cooperation, Empire chose to bully and dominate and disrespect. And no one likes to be bullied and dominated and disrespected.

    Many Powerful Nation States think they fortify themselves by being belligerent towards each other. They think that conveys power and status. But what it really conveys is weakness, selfishness, and slug-level thinking.

    So Empires go around bullying and collecting lackey States to welcome into their Borg… while some States say Eff That and want to go their own way. And that is NOT allowed by Empire.

    “…slowly…and then all at once, Europe and the USA fell under their own mass formation spell… which is to say no longer normal nations able to entertain normal relations with others.”

    Bully States are no different from the bully boy or girl who wants all the good toys at Pre-School and just takes them or terrorizes anyone else who contests them.

    And the mentality of such Nation States who do this has NOT advanced one inch from the bully-boy six-year-old creating havoc in the playroom while causing any adults in the rook to shrink back away to avoid getting involved.

    Mass Formation Psychosis. If you talk with any psychologist worth his or her degree on the wall… you quickly learn that one of the most basic human drives is to FIT IN.

    We want to be part of a group. We want to fit in to that group. We want them to feed our need to fit in and they expect us to feed the same back to them. And that group can be of useful purpose or not. It’s that need that drives us humans. So we grab hold of some group or some meme or some religion or some philosophy. Any one will do.
    And many of them are pure horse-manure.

    “…psychologist Mattias Desmet points out… people tragically locked into a mass formation develop, among many other delusions and psychopathologies, the grandiose idea that they have an ethical duty to destroy other nations.”

    This is just a ginned-up version of the old… ME! ME! ME! behavior of those same pre-school bullies.

    “If he brings a case against them in a court of law, Dr. McCullough, the most published, peer-reviewed cardiologist in the world, is going to prove definitively just how the people of the USA were defrauded and injured by Big Pharma and our own government…”

    But what is it that usually happens to anyone who dares stand up to Empire? Ask Julian.

    History is a record (at least until it has fully re-written and cleansed of Dangerous Ideas) of courageous individuals who stood up against impossible odds to stand for what they believed in. Why do they do this? Because the HAVE TO or they lose their own self-respect and their soul.

    People without souls have no ethical dilemmas. Once again, look at those preschool bullies. Only people with souls pay a price.

    And it’s one massive damn shame that people have to go through hell to stand for what is right. What an effing twisted kind of a World that is.

    Empire. Of Shame.

      • Roundball Shaman June 21, 2022 at 5:23 pm #

        When I refer to ‘fitting in’… this does NOT mean one just follows the crowd or the majority. The human drive is to fit in… SOMEWHERE.

        One can find fulfillment by ‘fitting in’ with other people (can be just a couple, or even one) who are also round pegs in square holes.

        People totally trying to go things alone just doesn’t work long-term. A person needs the support found in some place of ‘Fitting In’ where ever and with whomever that is. This has been shown to be the best way to find physical and emotional health and strength.

    As you can see with evidence such as this coming out (life insurance company quarterly reports)… https://www.globalresearch.ca/breaking-fifth-largest-life-insurance-company-us-paid-out-163-more-deaths-working-people-ages-18-64-2021-total-claims-benefits-up-6-billion/5783759
    … these criminals will be found out and isolated. We’re talking about huge domestic and international government agencies. We’re talking about uber-felonies. There is sooooo much evidence regarding all these areas of destruction (vaccines, election, border, Ukraine, graft, et al) that they know their time is at hand and they will be held accountable.

    These people are insane and will never give up their quest for power, control, and wealth; and will do ANYTHING to avoid being caught and prosecuted. Which is why WWIII is inevitable. They are desperate and see this as the only way out.

    Thanks Jim

    Professor Mearsheimer’s recent talk on the causes and consequences of the Ukraine war is really excellent. He spends alot of time laying out background and possible outcomes to all this as we go along. I highly recommend it. It’s available on youtube.

    Thanks also for pointing out what Biden has been doing lately (or not doing). The US is facing systemic, cascading failures. Biden is on vacation.

    An actual leader would be screaming and tearing his hair out on the rooftops about dozens of crises. Like energy, for example.

    Putin was correct recently when he pointed out that the US is a “fading power”. Very true.

    Biden was asked yesterday about 2 US citizens held by Russian forces, who had been captured in the anti-Russian crusade. The juxtaposition of the questioning of these two men, and then to the lawn of the White House, really stunned me.

    It reminded me of something out of the French Revolution. Or maybe how the French monarchs would have acted or appeared before the revolution. It was sad and interesting at the same time.

      I watched his talk a couple days ago. As always, Mearsheimer’s understanding of the bistory of Russian/Ukrainian relations, and his ability to articulate that understanding, free of any obvious biases or emotional hysteria, were very enlightening.

      What I found as enlightening – maybe more so – were the questions at the end, especially how so many of them were versions of, “Russian imperialism adequately explains Putin’s actions.” and “Putin fears democracy”. Mearsheimer patiently explained, repeatedly, that there is no evidence for imperialistic expansion by Russia. Didn’t matter. Those people brought their pre-packaged story and they were leaving with it – evidence, or lack of evidence, be damned.

    Nobody has said anything today (that I recall reading above) about the rebuke of Macron in France’s recent elections. Apparently extra seats went to the far right and an alliance of far left parties.

    The results were a rebuke of Mr. Macron, who appeared disengaged in the campaign and more preoccupied by France’s diplomatic efforts to support Ukraine in its war against Russia.

    I wonder what role this might have in Canadian elections and any US elections coming up? Maybe the majority of citizens are wizening up to the fact that these previously elected despots have more sympathy for the Ukraine than they do themselves?

    What are the odds that with this recent polarity in France they engage in a future civil war?

    So what kind of withdrawal symptoms do you think one goes through when the hormone adjustment meds are cut off? Like the opioid epidemic, this may be a real crisis coming down the pike.

    Also, do we make these meds here in the USA or are they compliments of the China pharmaceutical industry? If the former is the case, then shame on the medical establishment for keeping the freaks in secure meds while the actual patients suffer and potentially die.

    • BackRowHeckler June 20, 2022 at 4:30 pm #

      Do hormone adjustment meds need a prescription, or can you get them over the counter?

And then you look at someone like that criminally imbecilic paediatrician or whatever she was in the same video (the ‘chickens don’t cry’ dingbat).

            This past weekend, women who met to discuss these issues in Bristol, UK, led by Kellie-Jay Keen (aka Posie Parker), were harassed and abused by trans rights activists and their antifa partners. They tried to drown out the women speakers and then afterwards, these thuggish MEN (and some handmaidens) followed the women all the way to a pub to harass them further there. They were shouting obscenities the entire time and while the police escorted the women they didn’t do anything about the violence. Can you imagine if the women had been, say, a religious group, etc.?

            In any case, Kellie will be coming to Edinburgh in either August or September if you are interested in meeting up with some really great women. Here is the video of the rally and the TRAs making absolute knobs of themselves:

            Interesting, thanks, Mary. I’m getting the impression that women are standing up to these people more and more. Maybe JK Rowling helped with that. I’ll keep an eye out for Kellie et al and for the media coverage, when the time comes. Maybe JK will be lending her presence.

            GA – Kellie-Jay’s been at this for years! JK was late to the party.

            And Kellie-Jay is not afraid of the violent trans-creeps. She is so awesome. I hope you get to watch the video. She told the bad boys that their mothers are all TERFs. I’m sure that messed with their peabrains. I hope so, anyway.

    Per the Washington Examiner: “Man denied from donating blood after refusing to give his pregnancy status”

    A man was denied donating blood Wednesday after he refused to answer a question that asked if he was pregnant.

    Leslie Sinclair, a 66-year-old father from Scotland, said he was denied after nearly five decades of donating more than 125 pints of blood, according to a report.

    Prior to his rejection at Albert Halls clinic, Sinclair was asked to fill out a form, which asked if he has expecting a child or had been pregnant in the previous six months, he said.

    Sinclair said the question did not apply to him, but the staff disagreed, according to the report.

    “I am angry because I have been giving blood since I was 18 and have regularly gone along,” Sinclair said. “I’m very happy to do so without any problem.”

    Sinclair told a worker at the clinic it is “impossible” for him to get pregnant, but staff insisted that he answer a question if he wished to give blood, he said.

    “I told them that was stupid and that if I had to leave, I wouldn’t be back,” he said. “And that was it, I got on my bike and cycled away.”

    He has no intention of returning to the clinic, he said.

    Sinclair was rejected amid a push for new donors, he said, and he is angry because “vulnerable people” need donations.

    “But they’ve been denied my blood because of the obligation to answer a question that can’t possibly be answered,” Sinclair said.

    Sinclair, of Stirling in central Scotland, was told to complete a form asking whether he was with child or had been pregnant in the last six months, prompting him to reply that the question did not apply to a man in his late 60s.

    “I am angry because I have been giving blood since I was 18 and have regularly gone along,” Sinclair told the outlet Friday. “I’m very happy to do so without any problem.”

    Anyone who has given birth in Scotland must wait six months before donating blood. Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service officials said all donors are now asked whether they’re pregnant as part of a “duty to promote inclusiveness,” according to the report.

    “We appreciate the support of each and every one of our donor community and thank Mr. Sinclair for his commitment over a long number of years,” SNBTS director Marc Turner told Daily Mail.

    “Whilst pregnancy is only a relevant question to those whose biological sex or assigned sex at birth is female, sex assigned at birth is not always visually clear to staff,” Turner said.

    Noting “changes in society,” Turner said the agency is now asking all potential donors the same questions during appointments, including whether they’re pregnant.

    Buttigieg is advising airlines to meet their flight schedules and hire more customer-service workers. He said that if they do not meet these requirements by the Fourth of July weekend, the department could enforce fines on the airlines.

    Oh boy, watch out because this administration is coming for you. First it was ultimatums on the oil industry to increase supply and reduce profits, now it is the airlines to decrease cancelled flights and fire more workers.

    What are non-essential luxuries? Its an easy question to answer; simply ask whether it existed prior to 1900: Pleasure craft? Motorhomes? Cruising? International travel? Airline traffic?

    At each step of the distribution channel, from raw materials, manufacturing & delivery to destination service & support, entire life lines will collapse across the country.

    Think about something as innocuous as gasoline stations, fast food, groceries, lodging and associated services in all the various marinas, hiking, camping, offroading destinations, etc where entire communities have been created to help support these various attractions.

    All gone as people start emerging from their clouds of denial, and begin to contemplate real life as they become reacquainted with Maslow. You know, good old food, shelter and clothing. I don’t recall a 10mpg RV on that list.

    I’d say, a good area to stake out a position would be locating by any of the natural (original) waterways and transport hubs (rail, toll ways) that serviced ag and other raw material industries.

    Mechanical skills to keep boats floating, engines running and produce flowing will serve those well who can see what’s coming down the pike.

      Yet, there are people out there not yielding to the reality of the situation. For example, a few days ago I witnessed an armada of massive ‘RVs’– big as Greyhound buses — pulling into a state park for the weekend. We were at an outdoor bar across the street from the entrance watching those big beasts roll in. I commented to my wife “those things cost half a million dollars each and get 6 miles per gallon”. She said “I want one.”

      • messianicdruid June 20, 2022 at 8:26 pm #

    Mazlow’s Hierarchy

    We all try to attain aesthetic values and move up from essential needs. The higher you go, the happier you are. When falling down the more angry and anxious you become.

    Just might explain the problem with anger in the US as the country falls down the pyramid.

    Look at it this way. We have a government that is purposely pushing people down the pyramid to make them more dependent on the nanny state. We are pulling more people into the country way down in the pyramid for the same purpose. This damn Liberal government is driving us into a quagmire of frustration and anger.

    We keep voting the bums in? Here is why. As the society keeps falling down the pyramid, the folks keep clinging to anybody who promises a better life ie moving up the pyramid. Anybody! They believe conjecture, lies, false promises, anything to give hope, false as it may be.

    The story of the Blacks? The coming story of the Latinos?

    This damn government has no clue how to elevate this society and it is actively removing the only thing that people need to push their way up, self reliance and self esteem.

    The WEF needs to destroy independence of people to have global control. Look for more destruction of individuality.

    All these people just behind an unnecessary war.4 years of media driven psyops will do that to morons. The Russia meddling baloney. I bet they never asked how much money Hunter returned, er, donated along with the big guy’s cut back to Ukraine? Did the press ask Hunter? He’s more protected than a teen Chelsea Clinton or an Obama kid. Didn’t think that applied to 50 year old crack head amateur porn grifters like it did for12 year olds.

    Where I’m looking from, and I’m way way further down realityroad than most people, is that too much of this country, meaning the people in it, are simply not worth freeing from the catatonic hypnotic state they are in.

    The grain shipment stoppage will cause millions of people in Africa and Elsewhere to die of starvation. Russia did this before in the early 1930’s forcing famine on millions of Ukrainians including the eastern regions. Stalin murdered the population then and now Mr. K’s friend, Putin the psychopath says we the barbarian hordes really are the owners. Stalin forced 250,000 Tatars out of Crimea in 1945, on a one way ticket to Siberia, by the way. Mr. K ‘s rather convoluted logic relates to the murderous dictator as a nice chap.

            Around here it’s hot as blue blazes, and no rain in several weeks. But the garden is still doing well. I think the weed barrier keeps moisture in the soil. There is an underground drip irrigation line under one long row of tomatoes. I just turned it on. I think we have about 50 tomato plants, and they are setting fruit now. (Got them in a little late. In many previous years I’ve had ripe tomatoes in early June.) There are lots of collards already in the freezer, the onions are ready to harvest, as are some of the beets. (Beet greens are the best of all greens.) I can’t see the carrots for the weeds and can’t weed till we get some rain, as the ground is too hard.

          • Not_GeorgeT June 22, 2022 at 2:12 am #

            Beet greens.

            A few years back I took a journey into beet history.

            Turned out the greens were the reason for growing them, particularly in the Mediterranean cultures many centuries ago.

            Somehow, one day, some person tried eating the tuberous product from under the ground.

            Possibly related to the person who dared open up the hairy-skinned kiwi fruit for the first time?

            So now we have beet greens, and we have beets.

          • Anthea June 22, 2022 at 10:39 am #

            Maybe they had not yet bred beets for the large roots.

            I am growing a few Rapunzels this year. That is the root that Rapunzel’s mother was craving when she was pregnant and sent her husband to steal from the witch’s garden. So that’s why Rapunzel’s parents had to give her to the witch.

            Anyway, it’s a historic vegetable, but the kind with the large roots has been lost to cultivation. J.L. Hudson (who sells the seeds) suggests that selective breeding for large roots might be an interesting project for someone.

        I’m just back from my old school friend’s funeral in England. Three other classmates were there. Pretty much everyone was saying how unbelievable it was (that she had a catastrophic heart attack) as she was so fit and active and never smoked. I said nothing to anyone on the issue as it would have been completely pointless and wasn’t the time or the place. It would only have created bad feeling. But the place was packed with her many friends, and it seems not one person, apart from me, has any idea why she dropped dead. Her mother, who’s in her 90s, was there too, so she certainly had good genes going for her.

        The last time my other classmates had seen my friend was 7 weeks ago at the funeral of the husband of one of them, who also dropped dead of a heart attack. It’s hard to imagine what’s in these people’s heads, but with some you just realise there’s no point in saying any more. It’s like Redneck Liberal, but up close and personal.

          We know a handful of people in their 50s who have suddenly dropped dead. It’s impossible to broach the topic as it would be incredibly bad form.

          Secondly, only my wife knows I didn’t get poisoned. I must politely nod in interest as neighbors tell of their nth booster, or how they/or family member is recovering from cv, with relief of vax mitigated effects.

          I learned a long time ago to just keep your mouth shut (about anything). It not only doesn’t help, it actively agitates and stirs resentment.

          Just bet your hunch and keep a low profile (live modestly). If you’re prudent and follow your own advice, your financial status, health, and overall demeanor will already be broadcasting social position by your mere existence.

          Consider this: if the average person appears to you to be unhealthy, uneducated and unkempt, what do you think you look like to them? So, out of the blue, a stranger has already assessed you as “the other” while you’re peaceably minding your own business.

            @ mitchellc:

            Re your last point of being assessed as “the other”:

            One thing life has taught me is that if you are “the other,” there’s no use in trying to hide it or blend in. People KNOW. And even after all these years I don’t know HOW they know. I’m not even sure what the “difference” is that the “mass man or woman” is so acutely sensitive to. Some of it may be speech patterns. Most people literally never say anything that isn’t a standard rote comment–the sort of thing that you could find in one of those books that translate “common words and phrases” into a foreign language. To venture beyond that–unless its to repeat something you heard on TV–is suspect.
            As for making a meaningful comment–which there is rarely any occasion for anyway–you might as well put a brand on your forehead.

            One of my daughters is like this; clearly “other.” When she was a teenager, I told her that there is no use trying to hide it. You have to brazen it out: be who you are and let everyone else be damned.

            There is one interesting alternative, which is this idea of being “the gray man.” (There really is such a thing as “the cloak of invisibility.”) I have a natural talent for this. One of my former neighbors is VERY good at it. Once I saw him and his wife in a store and passed him several times without being sure it was really him–which was a very strange experience, as both husband and wife are fairly distinctive looking. The wife is in a wheelchair, ffs.

            I’m not sure how this is done, even though I can do it. I think it may be an ability to turn off (or greatly turn down) the psychic signals of your presence.

          • Islander June 21, 2022 at 10:58 pm #

            Anthea,

            Being “gray” came in very handy in New York City in the seventies and eighties.

            Mainly, be super-aware of your surroundings, but do not make any contact such as eye contact. Just ignore other’s presence, while being aware.

            Not the whole story, but part of it.
            Do not make eye contact or even look at anyone.

            People can “feel” when someone is looking at them.

          • Anthea June 22, 2022 at 10:46 am #

            @ Islander:

            Yep. And I think people can feel a lot more than just people looking at them.

            I think part of the trick to “invisibility” is to shut off your awareness of the presence of other people. Since, to you, they are not even there, you are not signalling to them psychically.

            I often go shopping with one of my daughters, who is greatly bothered by crowds. It makes her uncomfortable to shop in a crowded store. She’s sometimes commented that it doesn’t bother me at all. I can block people out completely; they don’t exist. Hence (it seems) they don’t “see” me, either.

            Yes, but it’s deeper than that. Again, a matter of definition. The word religion easily has half a dozen different definitions. I’m using the psychological one here: any structure of belief that provides deep meaning for individuals and connection to other individuals who share their belief.

            From this perspective, atheist Marxist Parties are religions to many.

            The Vatican states that “The Holy Father has repeatedly stressed the importance of vaccination, recalling that health care is ‘a moral obligation,’ and it is important to ‘continue efforts to immunize even the poorest peoples.’”

            WWJD? I think he would chuck that infectious needle at the heads of those lying to him about the efficacy of this “vaccine”.

          • GreenAlba June 21, 2022 at 5:23 pm #

            It was only York, which is about 200 miles – nothing to an American! It’s just less than two and a half hours by train. Even London is not much more than four and a half hours). Just as well the funeral was yesterday as there’s a rail strike today and Thursday. 🙂

            I love trains. Including the bit of the East Coast line from here to Northumberland as you get the sea view for at least a while from around Berwick-on-Tweed (the River Tweed is the border between Scotland and England).

            Like this view (Alnmouth):

        Saw an article that said that the neurological effects of Covid are starting to be studied in great effort. I will believe it when I see it. Just more ammo.

        A question though, does it tie into long term effects of Covid.

        Also, is it immune reaction to the s protein that is the cause. Big Vaxx issue.

        Not a liability issue, why? There is not enough money in the world to pay off the law suits that should be filed.

          “A question though, does it tie into long term effects of Covid.”

          I would say Dr Chetty pretty defnitively demonstrated that if covid is treated timeously and appropriately, there are no long-term effects from covid. Long covid is the result of withholding appropriate treatment.

        Of course it doesn’t.

          It’s far from being about the Mob Invasion on Jan 6.

          It’s all about the concerted, illegal & grossly optimistic manoeuvres that the Trump GOP mobsters played out from Nov 4th to Jan 20 in an attempt to defraud the Citizens of the USA.

          THAT is the threat to Democracy, and unless it’s dealt with effectively – orange jumpsuits all around – it will happen again.

    The prongs of the pick are buried in the Earth as it were. The handle, a Black Fist soars upwards, defying all White Racists – and all Whites are racists.

    Across the way are the stately white columns of Gallier Hall, a fine example of Southern Neo-Classicism. Thus the choice is clear: the beauty of White Civilization or the excitement and violence of Blacks tearing it down. I won’t say Black Civilization because those would be words without a referent.

    Many here choose the latter.

    • cowbell81 June 21, 2022 at 2:30 pm #

      I just threw up a little in the back of my mouth. If the Black race wants to surround themselves with ugliness then that is the type of society they will continue to live in. The whole idea of Greco Roman architecture is to enlighten and lift you up to an entirely highly plane of existence.

            Did Cargill change their nickname and do you think that they are the only one who has done so, and given that this site allows it?

            Go back and watch the WH CD speech. Bush was in the room. A ballsy speech from Colbert, and it remains not just well-delivered, but a series of unvarnished truths.

            Compare to today, where he is shilling for one of the most criminal companies in the world, and shilling for Brennan and co.

            I have no rational explanation. The guy has lost his comedic sharpness, and is now little more than a useful idiot. And I have not even mentioned his friendship with John “Pedo” Podesta.

    Admins, Apparatchiks & Apostasy

    I wondered why government has intruded into and gradually, almost completely taken over health, education and welfare. These have been traditionally the sphere of God as manifested through his earthly worship, religion. That’s when it hit me and I realized the cosmic truth. Government is a religion. This fundamental explains all that we need to know about government. The analogy extends as far as any I’ve ever known…

    …It’s no accident that those of the Left are the least likely to attend church. What most people find in God through their religions, Leftists find in government. They look for perfection in this world through man’s inventions. They seek their solace and hope in government. We’ve been told that our God, the God of Moses, Jacob, Peter and Jesus, is a jealous God and that we must not put other gods before Him. The god of government is likewise a jealous god and will tolerate no others. And this is another reason why where government goes, religion must be eliminated.

    All of this is what makes me state that government is a religion. Worship one or the other but not both and rue the day government invades any of God’s sphere.” ~ Roderick T. Beaman

    ——

    And so it goes that twice a week or so we get to indulge ourselves or Jim, with some of his ‘useful idiocy’ in his ostensible and paradoxical support for the coercive State government and its apparatchiks.

    I write ‘paradoxical support’ in a similar sense as the State’s ‘paradoxical (mandated?) support’ for ‘Wokeist’, and/or the like, causes, which I’ve hypothesized might create the opposite effect and lead to division and discord.

    Question Jim’s Views or maybe Jews (as opposed to maybe ‘black IQ’ or ‘women’, a la Jarek for example, who may be an AI), and, maybe even worse, in a ‘particular tone of writing that arguably approaches Jim’s own’ and risk incurring his… indignation? If not wrath?
    Maybe even as evidenced in writing neatly tucked into your own. Because ‘Admin’. How about that ay?

    And this just before (deliberately) I listen to Jim and guest’s most recent podcast apparently about or related to authoritarianism.

    BTW, (The) Apparatchiks would make a great Russian woman band name, da? Maybe they already exist(ed).

A chilling effect may be caused by legal actions such as the passing of a law, the decision of a court, or the threat of a lawsuit; any legal action that would cause people to hesitate to exercise a legitimate right (freedom of speech or otherwise) for fear of legal repercussions. When that fear is brought about by the threat of a libel lawsuit, it is called libel chill. A lawsuit initiated specifically for the purpose of creating a chilling effect may be called a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP).” ~ Wikipedia

            Which side is trying to take control of every aspect of our lives?

            Which side fights using the marketplace to set prices and goods and services.

            Which side thinks they can dictate economic issues such as FF production levels.

            Which side dictates what the oil industry does or thinks they can, even though no one can afford it.

            Which side dictates to the car industry what they will build. Even if no one can afford it.

            Which side favors socialism unto communism as their modus economus.

            Which side is the motivating factor for the socialistic Deep State, leading to the Uniparty.

            Which side uses division between groups to “buy” votes.

      Si. And the voting fraud will definitely continue. The Right are basically super chumps. They always only talk and only always capitulate at every turn. Until that changes I doubt there will be any break up or really anything other than the extremist Leftists fully rampaging through the entire society unimpeded and with complete impunity.

    James Howard Kunstler– You’re a bit too snidely and cavalierly cynical about me, my colleagues and the system you seem to nevertheless support. I don’t like your patronizing tone either.

    You want a fundamentally-corrupt unworkable system and yet to bitch about the likes of me et al.. IOW, you want to eat your cake and have it too. But we both should know that it doesn’t and never will work that way.

        Shorthand For ‘Government’

        Which means what exactly?

        From the archives:

        “The road to ruin is paved by government.” ~ Caelan MacIntyre

        “By western governments, anyway. Trouble is, western governments are wholly-owned corporate financial subsidiaries now.” ~ Disaffected

        “It’s a symbiosis, writ by ‘law’ (as if by the laws of physics).” ~ Caelan MacIntyre

        “I thought it was paved by good intentions. I don’t assume government is always bad. It truly depends on the government. I can easily see a giant government with armed troops at every corner as a good thing. As long as the context and intent are good. Kinda like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and all.” ~ SoftStarLight

        So-o-o like a ‘significant other’ who, say, beats, threatens and/or steals from you but, aside from that, ‘isn’t always bad’?

        And so maybe you remain in an abusive relationship while telling others that have different ideas about it to get a life?

        That kind of thing?

        I mean, since you write about context and intent.

            Let me answer that for one for Caelan if I may…

            I think it’s in part about something like creative license and performance art I guess, and can also help to illustrate or frame some things more effectively and for other, related effects.

            Like placing a cherry on top of a sundae, maybe, or a frame around a painting, or even using CAPITAL LETTERS and exclamation-points!!!!!

            They are unnecessary of course, but they can still lend a certain quality above and beyond the norm, the boring or the dry, etc..

            Why they can even inspire, in some special circumstances, some people online to lose their shit and distort the effect for their own purposes, such as if the person-in-question happens to be somehow challenging their cherished beliefs or whatever.

            BTW, were you also Klaus Schwab a few threads back?

    Mass formation psychosis can occur among any group of people, take on a variety of forms, and it seems like one has taken hold throughout much of the Republican base of Trump supporters.

    Many Republican judges, legislators, and election officials have stated that the 2020 election was fair for the most part, and after watching GOP state officials from Georgia and Arizona for example testify at the hearings, and after watching a desperate Trump practically beg for the creation of votes in his favor, I believe that he did in fact lose the election ‘fairly’.

    Now fairly is in quotes because for four years the Democrats wore down Republican voters with their Russia-Ukraine gate subterfuge and created that huge population of TWATs (Trump weary and tired for newbies.) There is no doubt that Trump also alienated many voters with his handling of the covid virus.

    Some time ago I mentioned that I knew of two Republicans who switched and voted Biden because of that issue alone. That number is now three and extrapolating that count from within a small circle of people to the overall body of Republican voters could lead to an almost unbelievable number of defectors.

    Trump and his supporters couldn’t stand the loss. The loss to Biden Humpty-Dumptyed Trump’s ego, and his followers, including myself, grasped for explanation. The mass psychosis of fraud became that explanation. It was beyond belief that Biden could garner so many votes. In retrospect, the turmoil created by the Democrats and Trump’s cavalier attitude towards the covid produced those almost inconceivable numbers.

    The damn fool is now at the mercy of the DOJ. Trump may also be indicted in NY and in Georgia. Get real. Trump will not be your savior and he will not be the next president.

    Regain your mental health, realize what happened. Check your chakras. It’s time for Republicans to regroup and think rationally.

            Purges And One-Party Polities

            As an anarchist, I’d still rather be a Republican or Democrat (whatever those two terms really mean these daze) with a low IQ (whatever that means) than a despot. How about you, Night Owl? In another life maybe?

            That’s in part because intelligence and IQ are not one-and-the-same, incidentally. (I thought that was made relatively clear in last threads.)
            But Republican and Democrat might come close as the USA as essentially a one-party polity.

            The Great Purge, also known as the ‘Great Terror’, was a brutal political campaign led by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to eliminate dissenting members of the Communist Party and anyone else he considered a threat.” ~ History site

    Russian oil platform in the Black Sea taken out today by Ukraine using missiles provided by the US. This comes a few days after Lithuania shuts down rail traffic into Kaliningrad (altho Kaliningrad can still be supplied by sea.) Who knows how much longer Putin will ignore these provocations and decides enough is enough? Then it will be on. Is NATO prepared for open combat with the Russian Federation?

    ?—–?——-?——————————————————————————————————-

    How much longer are these Congressional Jan. 6 hearings lasting. Until Nov. 4? I was listening to the radio today while working on a project in the driveway; every half hour CBS radio was issuing a SPECIAL REPORT ON THE JAN. 6 HEARINGS! like it was Watergate II. With everything else going on does anybody give a sh#t about these hearings other than Media/Politico douches in the DC-Manhattan axis? (Who usually have their heads stuck up their asses)

            Trashing State Actors While Sucking Up To The State

            Night Owl, you seem to like to appeal to consensus.

            You know, like sucking up?

            So I’m unsurprised what tucsonspur would write.

            I mean, you write ‘we’ for ‘I’, ‘fitting in’, ‘banning’ and stuff like that. Looks like a pattern.

            What is interesting, too, is that you would claim to play and/or listen to post-punk.
            Mind you, while some punk or post-punk is truly anarchistic, others seem more like merely posing…

            Maybe like this sort of shit:

            “…the Party of Chaos she helped create out of the diverse-and-inclusive body parts stitched together from the graveyard of Leftist politics — socialists, communists, feminists, anarchists, Maoists, and Gawd-knows whatever other diverse ists this increasingly crazed coalition of Jacobin maniacs could enlist for beating a path straight into World War Three.” ~ JHK

            I noticed that my comment near the top of these threads as a bit of a spinoff of JHK’s injection of Disaffected’ comment seems to be suspiciously missing. Maybe it will, equally suspiciously, reappear.

            In any case, what do you want? Do you want to nurture, by your own brand of corruption, a corrupt ecosystem that creates its own crash?

            Because some human ecosystems can get so polluted that they crash themselves.

            I will not attempt to list these standards, though maybe others here can help me out on that. One of them, however, is intellectual integrity. Attempting to conflate the imposition of this and other standards of adult discourse with the seeking of a “safe space” would be an example of a lack of intellectual integrity. Or stupidity–another disqualifier for participation in adult discourse.

    They voted against Trump because he had a hard time fighting against the crooks in the Deep State. Tucson, you are one. Trump had no weapons to fight the Mob with except his own persona.

    The people instead vote in a total nincompoop and his band of ignorant racists who have screwed over this country in every way possible.

    So argue all you want, Trump with his gutty common sense is out and the East Coast Mob is in, creating havoc in everything they touch.

All with an (R) after their names but none so fecking loony-tunes as you Trumpanzees.

          Then there are the Trumpian “insiders” like Bill Stepien, Bill Barr & Eric Herschmann, who have all comprehensively condemned the clown-car shit-show Trump had Guiliani et al put on after he lost on 3 November.

          All these named above are Republicans who voted for Trump (go figure!). In fact, the J6 Committee has called only GOP people to give evidence to date, with the exception of Capitol Police Officers (no party affiliation mentioned) and the two election workers (whom I’m surmising didn’t vote for him) who were publically slandered by both Trump & Guiliani for weeks afterwards.

            “LMAO! The Jan 6 ‘hearings’
            Priceless”

            is absent of an argument in response you the points you raise or any attempt to engage what you say in your cogent post. There isn’t anything anyone can say apart from the ramblings from Tucker Carlson, who is unable to engage with the 6 January Committee except in non-argumentative terms that it is “all so unfair” and “so very mean to the ex-Prez and all those who support him” and “SQUIRREL!!!!” to distract as best he can. Or better still, whistle past the possible graveyard of the US democracy, saying nothing our guy we wanted to do or did was bad for the country, because, well, we believe everything he and his minions say… evidence be damned…

            What you say runs contrary to what the Church of the Believers here hold to in their faithful hearts here–that the election was stolen (no evidence–even Guiliani concedes this under oath), that DT was robbed, that 6 Jan 2021 was actually a bad tourist gathering that went ever so slightly off, or that that only Republicans played fair while Democrats busily denied the sanctity of alternative slates of electors.

      Forbes.com, March 2022:

      “Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years.” Recent data show applications to start new small businesses shot up in 2021, not only rebounding from the pandemic but “up about 30 percent compared to before the pandemic” and well above the trend of the past decade.

      What about jobs and unemployment? The President told us “our economy created over 6.5. million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year than ever before in the history of America.” The unemployment rate hit 3.9% in December (ticking up to 4% in January), down from the pandemic high of 14.7% in April 2020. Smith said “If you told me in April 2020” that unemployment would be this low now, “I’d have laughed in your face.”

          Why would the dollar “tank”? You are seeing interest rates increasing, so that will attract capital to America, strengthening the dollar. Don’t like that analysis? OK.

            Interest rates up means no more free or essentially free money for banks to borrow.
            Most of that borrowed money actually went into the stock market or to buy up land and property.
            Overvalued stock market will reset tanking peoples 401k’s.
            Once the 401k’s begin to tank people feel less secure and stop buying big ticket items.
            Car sales plummet, house purchases plummet and people who would buy a larger house get locked into golden handcuff interest rates and lose the ability to buy up.
            People feeling less secure begin to horde basics out of fear of recession and worse depression because as far as I can tell we are already in a recession.

            Money supplies further tighten up and people panic.
            The entire ball of wax freezes up.
            Simple economics and human nature.

            Lest we forget gas is WAY UP and so are FOOD prices.
            More panic.
            I have two friends who thrown up their hands and are selling everything to live the van life one of whom has already lived this nightmare of failing country and fled South Africa with $1200.00 dollars and started over in his mid-thirties he is now 64 and panicking.

          • hustled enough June 22, 2022 at 8:40 pm #

            Hi benr,
            So, where does the money go, if you believe (along with MaryQueen) that the dollar will tank? A “tanking” dollar suggests that the demand for $ will fall or/and the supply of them will rise relative to other currencies. The Fed is busily cutting supply, so you must be thinking demand will fall (or the Chinese will be desperate to liquidate their dollar holdings?). OK, what currency is increasing in demand?
            As for the rest, rising interest rates will cut consumption and investment, lowering aggregate demand–the point you are making. But notice, nothing you say has zip to do with a necessarily “tanking dollar.” I remember a recession, back in the day, when interest rates rose and the dollar rose in value on its exchange rate; how about that …

          • Anthea June 23, 2022 at 12:01 am #

            @ hustled enough:

            Why is the dollar about to tank?

            Well…. One factor is the dollar’s imminent loss of its status as the reserve currency. This will probably not happen tomorrow, but it will happen over the next few years. The dollar has long derived much of its value from its status as the reserve currency. Any nation using or seeking to use some alternative to the dollar to settle international accounts is a very direct and existential threat to the Western bankers. Thus, every nation that has attempted this has been more or less bombed flat. Alternative modes of settlement are under development. Russia’s decision to accept payment for oil/gas only in rubles is a stake in the vampire’s heart. This is one of several reasons why the West has targeted Russia.

            When (not if) the dollar loses its status as the reserve currency, all the dollars that all the nations of the world have been forced to hold in order to be able to transact international trade will come flooding back to our shores. That’s a lot of bucks. I can’t remember the estimated haircut the dollar will take in such a case, but I think I recall that its loss in value would be around 75%.

            Secondly, there is the problem of deficit spending by the government, which almost entirely paid for by borrowing from the Fed, often referred to as “printing.” This is (duh) inflationary. Much so-called “printing” or monetary expansion comes about, not through the government borrowing from the Fed, but through the emission of unbacked credit by banks. Every time a bank makes a mortage loan, money is created out of thin air. Likewise with other forms of credit emission. This is essentially “money printing.”

            Now, we know from Econ 101 that an increase in the money supply without a corresponding increase in production is inflationary. The US has been wildly increasing the money supply for decades. The effects have been masked in several ways. One is an enormous increase in productivity (which is now in the past). Another is the dollar’s reserve currency status. Yet another is the shift of manufacturing outside the US, allowing for goods to be produced and sold much more cheaply.

            When you ask where the money will go if there is a flight from the dollar, you did not mention whose money or which money. Perhaps you meant to ask where the dollar will go. The tidal wave of unwanted dollars will, for the short- and intermediate-term, be used to purchase assets. E.g., China has purchased land and manufacturing facilities in the US, and Chinese are buying up housing on the west coast. The way you dump dollars that are rapidly losing value is, you buy “stuff” with them–hopefully before those dollars have become completely worthless.

            There is, as of now, no other world currency that could take the place of the dollar as the world reserve currency. (I won’t go into the reasons for that because I frankly can’t remember them, but one of them is that every other currency in the world is even more worthless than the dollar.) However, this does not mean that some other means for settling international accounts could not be developed. One possibility is gold/silver or a gold/silver-backed currency. Another is commodities-backed currency–although I think the objection to that is that the value of most commodities fluctuates too much–is too unstable.

            Re your comment that “the Fed is busily cutting supply”…. Um…this is an attempt to tame inflation by reducing the money supply–the Paul Volker move. And it worked, back in the day, when the national debt was far lower. But it worked by increasing interest rates to around 20%, if I remember right. It would take a lot more of an increase than that to make a dent, these days. And some little pissant .75% will accomplish NOTHING.

            Recall that the purpose of increasing interest rates is to tame inflation. If inflation is not slowed or stopped–I’d say some time this year–we’re looking at Weimar. The inflation you’re seeing now is just the early rumblings.

            I’ll skip the advice on what to do about this.

            Why I believe I gave you your answer I just didn’t say it directly.
            People and institutions STOP spending and hold on to every penny they can.
            Meaning hiring slows to a crawl, raises stop.
            I little inflation is good run away stag inflation is bad.
            Meaning stagnant economy and huge run ups on everyday items people need and use.

        Debating with you is like sword fighting with a blind man.

        The 5.7 million jobs increase were not created by a Biden economy. Biden does not know what an economy’s basis is. The 5.7 comes from two thing, filling in for jobs Trump’s time created and were lost in the perverse reaction to Covid and also to replace jobs that retired Boomers have left behind.

        Biden is a corrupt forty year politician who has not created a single job in that period and does not know what that means. Trump’s entrepreneurship has created

        • JohnAZ June 22, 2022 at 11:06 am #

          thousands of jobs and his businesslike management of DC created the jobs while holding inflation in check, something Biden’s Mob does not have a clue about. The proof abounds, just look around. BTW, the Biden Mob is the worst enemy of the Democratic Party too. Even they are starting to have heartburn about the idiocy of the Biden-Harris ticket.

          The unemployment rate is a con job and has been since Reagan adjusted it in 1980.

          The 3.9% is so bogus. The real number is much higher. Why?

          Because the high number of Boomers retiring never make it into the equation. They are non-seeking workers. Also, watch out, the phony protector of the last ten years of inflation, the Fed, is about to stop its denial about controlling the money supply. To stop the 70s inflation, Volker’s rate hikes caused unemployment to surge to 12%. That was real unemployment that he adjusted the equation to avoid.

          The USS America is listing right now and with Fed rate hike requirements this year, the result may take it down by the bow.

          Your big brag about the small business increase was the result of compressed business starts due to Covid. The inflationary injection of money has now created the inflation that is forcing the rate hikes that will cause the slow down that is going to destroy most of the vaunted new start ups.

          The Democratic Party you and JHK remember that protected the working class is history. The amoral, dividing, socialistic group of incompetents that have replaced it are destroying America in the favor of globalists. I am not blowing smoke, both the Deep State and the WEF have released enough information to confirm the connection.

          The conservatives need a replacement for Trump? The Dems need a replacement for Biden, Harris, AOC, Warren, HRC, Pelosi, Schumer, and especially Sanders.

    Euroweekly News

    Russia’s Baltic Fleet will reportedly launch live-fire exercises in the Kaliningrad Region with an estimated 1,000 servicemen and over 100 units of military hardware taking part.

    Russia’s Baltic Fleet is set to launch the alleged exercises following escalating tensions with Lithuania due to a blockade of Russian transit cargo.

    “About 1,000 servicemen and over 100 units of combat and special equipment of artillery and missile units will take part in the maneuvers in the Kaliningrad region,” stated the report according to RBC.

    The firing exercises will reportedly be carried out by artillerymen using “Grad and Uragan multiple rocket launchers,Hyacinth large-calibre guns, Msta-S, Acacia dn Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems.”

    The news follows Russia threatening to revoke the recognition of Lithuania as an EU state due to the blockade in the Kaliningrad region, as stated by the Chairman of the Provisional Commission of the Federation Council on Protection of State Sovereignty and Prevention of Interference in Russia’s Internal Affairs, Senator Andrei Klimov, on Monday, June, 20.

    Speaking on Russia’s threat to revoke recognition of Lithuania as an EU member state, the Senator stated:

    “The European Union, if it does not immediately correct the insolent prank of Vilnius, will itself disavow for us the legitimacy of all documents on Lithuania’s membership in the EU and untie its hands to solve the Kaliningrad transit problem created by Lithuania by any means we choose.”

    A Black star or cast of ‘Man who fell to earth.’

    • SoftStarLight June 21, 2022 at 11:59 pm #

      I just watched the trailer since you mentioned. I hate to be tedious but I have 3 complaints right away. Why do they always seem to make otherwise humanoid aliens have reptilian like features? Also that alien ship or whatever that was looked like those things from War of the Worlds. And then the whole trope that we’re here because ya’ll are killing the planet and everything. Anyway thanks for sharing!

      • BackRowHeckler June 22, 2022 at 6:35 am #

        “We’re here because you are killing the planet and everything”

        I believe that started with “The Day the Earth Stood Still” in 1951 when spaceman Michael Rennie showed up with his indestructible robot to prevent nuclear holocaust here on earth.

        Well, it’s all fun and games until Albert ‘The Mad Hatter’ Anastasia (aka The High Executioner), Louis ‘Leptke’ Buchalter, and Bugsy Siegel, hitters with ‘Murder Incorporated’, operating out of a backroom in Midnight Rose’s Candy Shop in Lower Manhattan, make a sudden appearance at the party.

        • Disaffected June 22, 2022 at 10:09 am #

          Warren Beatty’s Bugsy was one of the better renditions of recent years. I watch that movie beginning to end every time it comes on. 50’s movies in general seem to be making a comeback, though. They seem very refreshing in these days of wall to wall CGI, but maybe I’m showing my age with that one.

        I’ve been watching it on youtube as they release episodes. Pretty good actually. The original movie was pretty obscure, but this one is very ideologically clear. The aliens ruined their planet just as we are ruining ours. They need help and want to warn us as well.

        Why they need our help, being so much more advanced, doesn’t make much sense. Apparently they need some of our water!

        The Black thing is irritating, but it doesn’t completely ruin it. They are introducing good Whites now so it isn’t all “black and white” with Blacks as the good guys.

        We are ruining our planet. Just because people use that fact for fantastic and malicious purposes, doesn’t negate the truth of it.

        • SoftStarLight June 22, 2022 at 12:27 pm #

          I noticed that there were full episodes on youtube last night when I watched the trailer but I didn’t look at any of them at the time. Sounds like I may take a look if I get the chance. I do agree that we are destructive to the planet but was just noticing that it is often used as almost a cliche in terms of the mainstream concept of aliens. Like, that they would come here just to be benevolent. I remember one time hearing someone say that maybe if we came across aliens that had the technology to get them here from where they came from that they would probably be so far beyond our comprehension we might just seem like fleas or ants to them and we would thus be treated in a similar fashion. And for all we know the aliens may care very little about the health of the planet and they may actually want to use the planet for fuel or something.

    • gustafson.robert.22 June 22, 2022 at 9:59 am #

      Just because the Rockefeller F predicts a food shortage doesn’t mean they’re orchestrating it or that the shortage is in the process of being faked. They could simply be trying to use real circumstances to their advantage. A simpler, more Occam’s-razorish explanation.

      Not trusting the Great-Reset agenda shouldn’t necessarily or automatically mean throwing out every claim they make wholesale. It should mean examining claims carefully and extricating facts from agenda.

          It’s exactly what I expected. My point is that Great Reset is often about artificially accelerating processes already in motion, rather than inventing these ‘crises’ whole-cloth.

          And, you tend to be a population/resource-limit denier, and I see that tendency as the biggest weakness of most Great-Reset opposition.

      Weren’t Pfizer contracts with Albania leaked some time ago, showing utterly absurd conditions from the POV of a sovereign nation?

      Like, Albania gave up all of its rights to protect its own people. Pfizer cracked the whip. Why? Why would any country submit to this?

      It is certainly IMO comparable to the imperial “concessions” that were forced on China. Still reading the Sterling Seagrave book, The Soong Dynasty. . Really excellent, and a page turner

    Biden “predicts” a second pandemic

    RT

    He went on to insist that he needed even more money for an unspecified “second pandemic.” “We need more money to plan for the second pandemic. There’s going to be another pandemic,” the president warned, without going into detail about what this new wave might entail.

    Biden also took the opportunity to take a swipe at his predecessor, implying that Donald Trump’s lack of preparation increased the impact of the Covid pandemic. “We have to think ahead. That’s not something the last outfit did very well and that’s something we’ve been doing fairly well. That’s why we need the money,” surmised Biden.

      I believe Prof. Geert Vandenbossche is predicting a new, much more serious variant, which is more worrying. He’s one of the good guys and warned from the start that the ‘vaccination’ programme would cause the virus to mutate to sidestep the ‘vaccines’, which is why you don’t implement ‘vaccine’ programmes during a pandemic. If it happens, it will give them the excuse for more mask mandates, lockdowns and digital passes, which is part of the end game, as we know.

      Putting on the pressure, then temporarily relieving it is part of textbook totalitarian methodology.

    Guest talking head on Faux pushing “rehabilitation” states “you cannot rehabilitate a cop killer, anyone who kills a cop should go to prison and throw away the key”. WRONG Cops are no more deserving of justice than citizens. And preserving criminals in a criminal factory is NOT rehabilitation.

    Anyone who kills anyone has forfeited their own life. It must be preached, acknowledged by every citizen, in writing, and enforced by the courts.

    Once this is done we can work on restoring the lawful order for lesser issues.

    A self-supporting system will not be a burden on law-abiding citizens. I am not talking about private [ for profit ] prisons.

          @ 100th Avatar:

          It takes an IMMENSELY wealthy society to be able to afford to support criminals in prison for lengthy periods of time. Abolishing capital punishment is a luxury–and probably a luxury we can no longer afford. Actually, I doubt if our society can continue to afford the luxury of jailing violent criminals.I suspect that this is part of the reason so many have been released from jail. And I’m pretty sure it’s most of the reason why cities, in particular, make almost no effort at all to enforce the laws that result in prison sentences. They are pretty diligent about enforcing laws that enhance revenues, though.

          We may be actually experiencing the results of abolishing capital punishment: no law enforcement at all. Can’t afford it.

      I have a real problem with the whole death penalty situation.

      The advent of the mass murderers adds to it. Technology allows sick individuals to murder more and more folks.

      Killing the perp is too easy, it is not a deterrent any more. These perps could care less if they die, a lot of them kill themselves.

      If deterrence obviously does not work, does the removal of the perp from society warrant execution.

      Not good enough, injecting someone with a sedative and a blast of potassium and letting them peacefully go to sleep is just not good enough. Does this allow satisfaction to a family grieving a murder victim?

      How about a total isolation eight by eight jail cell with no contact with anyone for life with no parole.
      Sort of like Edmond Dantes.

      For the more bloodthirsty, how about a dunk into a pool of piranhas? Anything that gives the perp pain enough to be a deterrent. Fear of punishment needs to be sufficient enough to deter adverse activity.

      Costs too much to keep them imprisoned? No.

      It takes years and years to execute someone, making the lawyers richer. Putting someone into solitary for the rest of their lives does not give them their martyr satisfaction and the cost would be minimal, definitely less than the legal morass of execution.

      Punish the hell out of the suckers. Somehow killing someone peacefully just doesn’t seem adequate for mass murderers.

          Bassackwards. A rope is reuseable. Legal is not lawful. The legal system is the problem. Being released “on bond” is fueling this catastrophe.

          • JohnAZ June 22, 2022 at 4:17 pm #

            Read please. The point is that executions take years and years of legal costs before the deed is done. A rope is reusable, yes, but is is ten years old before it is used.

            You are right about the legal system and the Soros led DAs. The Dem attitude about law enforcement is a major reason I think they, the Left, are insane.

    But $90 for a tank of gas is less than nothing for limousine liberals.

    So, instead of a gas tax extended holiday, why not offset, as they love their offsets,

    With 500x energy taxes on your unoccupied third and beyond home?

        Peak oil is coming, where the world will be forced to adjust, no matter what. Allowing thirty years of price increases will generate the alternatives.

    “European settlers in the Great Plains are estimated to have reduced the American bison population from 30 million to just 325 by the 1880s. By the 1860s, bison had roamed the Great Plains for 10,000 years. They numbered in the tens of millions, charging across the flat landscape in such a cacophony that people called it the “Thunder of the Plains.” For generations, they’d provided Native Americans with food, clothing, shelter, and even spiritual imagery.”

    Reducing food supplies is an old strategy to appropriate their land.

          Well, there is not much of an analogy between the North American Indian wars–specifically with the Plains Indians–and the WEF seeking population reduction.

          First of all, you have perhaps noticed that hunter-gatherer cultures are pretty thin on the ground these days. That is because almost ALL of them were expropriated or extirpated by agricultural societies. Whenever/wherver agricultural societies collide with hunter-gatherer societies, the hunter-gatherer societies have been the losers. The only instances in which they did not die out or were not exterminated were when they were able to withdraw to more remote areas–where they generally dwindled away.

          There have been instances in which pastoralists co-existed with agriculturists, and even instances in which pastoralists kicked the agriculturists asses–but not hunter-gatherers.

          Probably the main reason why the hunter-gatherers were successfully exterminated/expropirated by the agriculturists is numbers. Hunter-gatherer societies are not as reproductively successful as agricultural societies, and in fact often have trouble maintaining population. Agricultural societies are able to maintain ever-increasing populations. It is proverbial that victory belongs to the army with the greatest numbers.

          Secondly, hunter-gatherer society is not conducive to technological advancements in weaponry (or much of anything else) that would give them the advantage in warfare. Neither have they generally been good at forming alliances with other hunter-gatherer societies to resist the encroachment of agriculturists, generally being too busy fighting each other over territory.

          Thirdly, the Native American culture that so many people think of as a bunch of feathered Shakespeares is a pure Hollywood invention. E.g., you will often read Native American quotes on Facebook or elsewhere. I assure you that this is just stuff somebody made up. While there were many Native American cultures at many stages of development (ranging from the Aztecs and Incas to some small tribes fo desert rats) few had a remarkable culture, and the Plains Indians were certainly not among these few.

          Sure, it is a tragedy when one society or group is extirpated by another, but it’s a story that has been repeated thousands of times everywhere in the world. Going on about it make about as much sense as crying about the Picts getting their asses kicked by the Celts–or any of the thousands of other processions of conquerors and conquered throughout history. Losing does not make them special.

          Now, the destruction of the bison of the North American plains was almost entirely a military strategy–just like any other military strategy for cutting the enemy’s supply lines. As strategies go, it’s kind of a “duh.” Every military strategist who doesn’t have his head up his ass will sever enemy supply lines every chance he gets. (It’s called “war.”)

    Midnight Rose’s Candy Store was an actual business in Brooklyn (not lower Manhattan like I previously noted) that sold gummy bears and chocolate drops to neighborhood kids but also served as home base for ‘Murder Incorporated’ — the Mob’s official hitmen for all five crime families who travelled all over the US, Canada, and Italy dealing out death — with ice picks being the primary weapon it turns out. Ice picks! The first major contract they filled was whacking Dutch Schultz, which they did at the Palace Chop House, at the same time taking out Otto ‘Abbadabba’ Berman, Dutch’s number 2 man and main factotum. Dutch needed to be taken out before Dutch himself murdered Prosecutor Thomas Dewey, which would have brought buku heat down on the mob. Kid Twist and Bugsy Siegel were in on that job. Interestingly enough, Murder Inc. second hit was on the owner of a Candy Store that was a competitor of Midnight Rose’s. Talk about taking care of the competition lol! It looks like Murder Inc. was about half Jewish and half Sicilian, with Meyer Lansky in charge of the Jewish soldiers and Albert Annastasio (who 20 years later got whacked by Crazy Joe Gallo) in charge of the Sicilians. They were all from the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and were responsible for over 1000 murders into the 1940s.

    “That’s ‘Murica, Son!”

    Midnight Rose, Kid Twist Reles (called Kid Twist because his specialty was garroting people), Dutch Schultz, ‘Bugsy’ Siegel, Otto ‘Abbadabba’ Berman, Palace Chophouse, Albert ‘ The High Executioner’ Anastasia, ‘Crazy’ Joe Gallo — you gotta love those names and places. I couldn’t find out who Midnight Rose was, but the candy shop was open 24/7.

          Two problems with your post: First, and one of which surfaces in many of your posts on this issue, is the use of the straw man. The above sentence is a straw man, so there is no point in moving beyond the false premise.

          Should you choose another formulation, I would be happy to engage.

          Second, your statement about submitting to the GR narrative is a non-sequitur.

            I tried engaging honestly with you on these issues a couple months ago and found it useless. I’m just checking-in today for in case anyone else cares.

            “Straw-man” is such a tired term too, must say.

            I love your Great Reset criticism NO. But, trying to discuss anything regarding it with you further, not so much. And that’s fine.

          • Night Owl June 22, 2022 at 6:18 pm #

            You presented a false version of my argument that you find easy to defeat. That is the definition of a straw man.

            Your feelings don’t matter, and like most virtue signalers, that is about all you seem to have.

            Change my mind.

          • gustafson.robert.22 June 22, 2022 at 7:26 pm #

            If you don’t tend to associate limits-to-growth proponents with WEF-type positions, or with capitulation to the WEF, you could just say so. You don’t have to raise all your hackles and wave a hot straw-man flag. But, that would be actual discussion, where issues were calmly clarified through exchanges, rather than the instigating and entrenched adversarial approach you seem to prefer.

          • Night Owl June 23, 2022 at 3:10 am #

            If your positions were solid and defensible, you would simply state them — as would any person confident in what they had to say.

            Instead, you take the approach of the manipulator. Because, deep down, you don’t really believe what you are saying. Rather, you want something.

    100th Avatar said, “Oh yeah sure, it happens all the time except never…humans abhor unfulfilled emotion”.

    We have our emotions for a reason. Unharnessed emotions wreak havoc. Bridled emotions [ meekness ] can serve God and man.

    “The obligations of the goel include the duty to redeem the relative from slavery, if the latter had been obliged to sell himself into slavery (Leviticus 25:48–49); to repurchase the property of a relative who had had to sell it because of poverty; to avenge the blood of his relative; to marry his brother’s widow in order to have a son for his brother, in the case that the brother had no son to pass on his name (Deuteronomy 25:5–6); and to receive the restitution if the injured relative had died (Numbers 5:8).

    Numbers 35:9–30 regulates the duties of the goel hadam. The congregation must judge the case before it puts a murderer in the hands of a goel. More than one witness is needed for conviction. In case of accidental manslaughter, the slayer can save his life by fleeing to a “city of refuge” and staying there until the death of the high priest. Ransom is not accepted for murder. Revenge cannot be taken on the offender’s children or parents (Deuteronomy 24:16).

    Leviticus 25:48–49 gives the order in which the nearest relative is considered the goel in the case of redeeming a slave: brother, uncle, male cousin and then other relatives. The same order was probably observed in the other cases, except in marrying a sister-in-law.”

    Do not pretend it has never been done.

    Biden wants a federal gas tax holiday. Wow!

    18 cents per gallon. $4.67 per 26 gallon fill up. With the inflation that with induce with increasing demand, the market will grab back that 18 cents in a week. So when you save your tax cut at the pump, you can turn the corner and buy a Big Mac and fries.

    I think this really shows the desperation of the WH. It shows that they are realizing that all the socialistic agenda they espouse IS as bad as folks have said and is a nation destroyer. Bernie Sanders is evil incarnate with his communistic input to the Democratic Party.

    Refinery use is running at 95%. How much is going overseas where prices are higher than here? What percentage of natural gas is going to Europe to pay for the NATO debacle?

    BTW, contrary to the Libs in DC, the oil companies owe the US public absolutely nothing. They are the ones that elected the Democrats into office that are causing all of this. The American people are going to sink into the Swamp they created.

    Insanity!

      Exactly right John. At least Biden was upfront as to his intentions, which was to choke off US energy supply “Starting on Day One”, which he did, ending the Keystone pipeline project. Tens of millions of people voted for him anyway — apparently this is what they wanted.

    • benr June 22, 2022 at 5:18 pm #

      There is audio of Obama dispelling the myth that a federal gas tax holiday will fix anything.
      His words were to the effect it’s just gimmick.
      Might be one of two true statements ever uttered by the man.
      The other was if you wanted something f8cked up give it to Joe. -obama

      Can’t stress this enough Joe Biden is the worst President in US history period end of story.
      Jimmy Carter is dancing with joy he came off the list and in Jimmies defense he seems like a decent human whereas Joe is just an awful person by any metric one wished to apply.

    Well, we got trouble brewing in New Haven; it could get out of hand, we’ll see where it goes. The trouble stems from the Juneteenth Celebration on the Green. One celebrant got a little carried away with the festivities — became pretty drunk and enthusiastically began waving around a handgun. Needless to say the cops were called. The Juneteenth celebrant apparently wasn’t too happy seeing the police, and not wanting to leave the party — this after all is the first official Juneteenth — vociferously resisted arrest, after which he was hogtied and thrown into the back of the paddy wagon for the ride to jail. Video from the paddy wagon shows the prisoner flopping around and kicking the bulkheads. This is when the driver of the van, a police officer, slammed on her brakes to avoid a collision, flinging the prisoner onto the deck, apparently breaking his back and paralyzing him. If you remember this is exactly what happened to Freddie Gray in Baltimore in 2015 that triggered massive looting, mayhem and bloodshed from which Baltimore has not recovered from to this day. The Mayor, the Governor and assorted pols are already out with somber faces offering mean culpas and humble apologies — and promise a full investigation will take place and responsible parties punished. The only problem is the ‘Responsible Parties’, the cops, are POCs too. So, the authorities might be able to tamp this incident down who, knows. It might depend on the weather: if a heat wave strikes it’s a pretty good chance there will be blood (in the streets) by this weekend.

    In other Juneteenth news, in Waterbury, a two year old boy shot by his mother’s boyfriend, a fugitive wanted on a robbery charge with a warrant from Bristol.

      Marlin, if you read my comment below, you will see you wrote about what might happen, not that it will. That’s exactly what I said we ought to do. You wrote it COULD get out of hand, not that it will. That’s why I like to read your comments, besides the witty sarcasm.

  88. beantownbill. June 22, 2022 at 5:35 pm #

    I haven’t been posting a lot lately because, frankly, a lot of the comments are the same old shit. I see a lot of interpersonal sniping between posters, a lot of opinions being written under the guise of facts, and very little discussion about issues that matter.

    First, no one knows what will definitely happen in the future, so how can one talk about specific events that haven‘t occurred yet as if they are facts? I have nothing against opinions, but only if they are stated as opinions, including some idea of the probability of them happening.

    Do we really know if midterm elections will be canceled? Will biden last through the rest of his term, or will he die before then? What party will control Congress? What candidates will run? What’s the probability of WW3 happening? Is the economy crashing? Will inflation get out of hand? Etc. The point is no one really knows. So why talk about this stuff until it happens.

    I’d like to read discussions about what really matters, not whether Joe Blow the poster is an idiot. Issues like what we can do about losing our supply of potable water, rising temperatures, loss of topsoil, getting people adequate nutrition, overpopulation, fouling the oceans, and similar important topics. Let’s hear all sides of an argument, so we can get an idea of what’s actually happening. Is there any cogent argument saying covid vaccines are not poison? All I read is that some person says they are, but I don’t hear about others saying they aren’t. I’m not saying what’s really happening because I’ve heard only one side. What’s wrong about hearing both sides, and deciding for one’s self?

    Anyway, I, personally would like cogent, open discussions, rather than name-calling and trolling. That’s just me.

      You may have heard about it here, not as “should’s” or “could’s” but as ARE’s

      Namely what the unelected WEF in conjunction with powers of the state, big tech, big pharma, and corporate propagandtainment have in store.

      They published books about it
      It’s on their website

      I disagree. I believe that much information is brought to the table by JHK and many good updates are brought to the fore by posters. It is 100% better than reading the BS put out by the MSM or reading Facebook or Twitter.

      Ignoring the issues and hoping that things will just get better is an American trait. Denial solves nothing. I read everyone on the blog even the “Rednecks” with an open mind. The Right bias is due to the betrayal the East and West Coast Leftist Mob have brought to the country.

    My latest medical update: I visited my surgeon yesterday. He told me to stop using a cane, but instead take three Tylenol pills a day. He said my body will know when I don’t need to take them, just have faith and stay active. The pills will eliminate any inflammation and pain and I’ll stop limping reasonably soon, but I wont get to that point if I use an assisted walking device like a cane. I’m not all healed, but I’m good to go. My next appointment with him is scheduled in a year. Within a week or two I won’t be gimpy. I’ll be done, but I just have to be careful and not do something stupid. I plan on celebrating by going to Foxwoods next month.

          Bill, what about the new (relatively) casinos in Mass? I don’t hear much about them; there was much fanfare in Springfield when the casino opened a few years back but since then nothing, not even advertising.

          A few months ago a chum won $2 million in the State Lottery. He’s been pretty good with it, unlike another friend who won $1 million about 15 years ago — and went off the deep end.

          Remember: The House always wins.

          • beantownbill. June 22, 2022 at 7:21 pm #

            On any given day the house doesn’t always win, but over a longer time period, you are correct. The way I look at it is life is short, I can afford it, so why not have fun?

            Probability is interesting. On a pair of dice, there are 36 combinations of numbers that can happen. A 12 can only occur in one way, 6 and 6, so the odds of a 12 coming out on a given roll is 1 in 36. But if a 12 comes out, the house only pays 30 to 1. This is how the house makes money. Now the interesting part is that a 12 doesn’t necessarily come out every 36 throws. If it always did, then people would count the number of throws and if a 12 didn’t come out after 35 throws, then you’d automatically bet on a 12 for the next roll.

            But in reality a 12 can occur after 120 rolls, or 67 rolls, or whatever, so you never know when the next 12 will occur.
            But the fascinating thing about mathematics is that a 12 ultimately has to happen in 1/36th of the throws, but that exact percentage is only reached over a large number of roles. So the more you throw, the closer you get to what the theoretical frequency should be. If you throw a pair of dice 36 million times, then you ought to have very close to 1 million 12s. If you throw 108 times, you should have thrown 3 12s, but 108 throws isn’t a large number, so you may not get any 12s. How does the universe know how to get the right frequency over a lot of trials? Mysterious.

          • stelmosfire June 23, 2022 at 10:55 am #

            It is possible to throw trillions of times and never throw a twelve. Just sayin’.

I’ll just use this new drink concept: water. I know, it’s not any fun, but I also know I’ll be able to handle it. It’s just for several weeks. Then, it’ll be glug, glug, glug. Yippee.

      Young NFLers are starting to die young. A 26 year old Baltimore Raven just died a few days ago. Tony Siragusa, a retired, great Raven football player just died at 55. No cause of death given. Some professional basketball players in their 20’s died recently, no c.o.d. given.

      Professional athletes are supposed to be in very good shape, so what is happening? Now it would be easy to say it was the vaccine, and maybe it was. But you just can’t say it was until autopsies – at the cellular level – have been done. But such detailed autopsies won’t ever be performed or admitted to by the authorities, I’d venture to say. Until and unless a cellular examination is conducted, it’s still speculation.

      • Redneck Liberal June 22, 2022 at 8:44 pm #

        That’s a sensible & logical position to take, BTB.

        “But such detailed autopsies won’t ever be performed or admitted to by the authorities, I’d venture to say.

        Why “by the authorities”? Can’t a person’s family have one undertaken privately? There are surely enough rabbit-holers out there who believe an unexplained death in their family is vaccine-related to surely have had many such autopsies performed to date. Why aren’t these results being publicized?

          If you bother to listen to the symposia held by Doctors for Covid Ethics, you can see a very detailed set of histopathology slides produced by Professor Arne Burckhardt from 15 post-mortem examinations of people who died sooner or later following the covid jabs. The post-mortems demonstrated that 14 of the 15 had clearly died as a result of the jabs, from the tissue damage done by the spike protein.

          As for ‘why is it not publicized?’ – well, you’d need to ask the censors in government, Big Tech and the mainstream media, because it’s well publicised outside of those lying institutions

Think of the cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries causing inflammation points that burst and cause clots. Now add in the s protein whose effects are totally not understood by anybody. Aggravating the inflammation in hearts that are already full of cholesterol, bam, myocarditis, coronary heart disease and eventually a killer MI.

      Every booster shot aggravates the s protein levels, every instance of Covid itself aggravates it too.

      I would like to hear just one study where the s protein of the virus is the cause of the killer immune response with Covid itself. If that was established, the vaxx would be eliminated.

    The possible relationship between CRT and mass ROGD or Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.

    The Assault on Children’s Psyches
    Leor Sapir

    American Renaissance redaction

    Patricia (a pseudonym) is the mother of a teenage girl who in recent years has come to identify as transgender. She lives in California, considers herself progressive, votes Democrat, and leads a group for parents of children with rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD)—that is, youth who suddenly experience distress with their bodies and believe that undergoing medical “transition” will make them whole again. When I spoke to her recently, she recounted how her daughter’s at-first-lesbian and then trans identity emerged in response to feelings of shame about being white.

    I have since spoken to more than a dozen ROGD parents and parent-group leaders who tell a similar story. Their schools compulsively tell their children how awful it is to be white, how white people enjoy unearned “privilege,” how they benefit from “systems” put in place by and for white people for the sole purpose of oppressing “people of color.” Plagued by guilt, the children—almost all of them girls—rush to the sanctuary of “LGBTQ+” identity. Once there, they are catapulted into hero status. According to Patricia, some teachers at her daughter’s school are more forgiving toward “queer” and “trans” kids who hand in their homework late.

    The students, especially the girls, absorb this messaging. They are acutely sensitive to how identity affects their social status and academic fortunes. They want the warmth that comes with queer/trans identity, but above all they don’t want to be thought of as vicious oppressors. Lacking maturity and self-confidence, they fail to put “anti-racist” indoctrination in its proper context. They do not appreciate its ahistorical, anti-intellectual, and anti-humanist foundations, nor are they aware of the incentives leading teachers and administrators to foist it on them. Being white is not something these teenagers can escape, but they can mitigate its social costs by declaring themselves part of an oppressed group.

    {snip}

    To understand what is going on in California and in other states, however, it is necessary to appreciate how the grounds for eligibility in this “community” have shifted in recent years. While both homosexuality and—depending on how you define it—transgenderism are said to be organic and unchosen, being “queer” or “non-binary” (or, again, “trans,” depending on definition) takes nothing more than an act of will; one need only declare oneself so. As a college lecturer, I had students—virtually all of them white females—who had female names, female pronouns, and a female-typical look, but who self-identified as “queer.” For many of these young women, being queer can mean simply not seeing themselves reflected in the most two-dimensional stereotypes of femininity. And who can blame them?

    {snip}

    A recent study by Eric Kaufmann confirms the new meaning of LGBT among young Americans. “Whereas in 2008 attitudes and behavior were similar,” he writes, “by 2021 LGBT identification was running at twice the rate of LGBT sexual behavior.” The recent explosion in LGBT identification among Generation Z seems to be driven mainly by young, white, very liberal women who self-identify as lesbian or bisexual but who do not necessarily have female partners. LGBT identity has become divorced from sexual behavior or erotic feeling, allowing anyone to belong on the basis of little more than a generalized dissatisfaction with contemporary sexual mores.

    If Kaufman is right that LGBT identity is increasingly an expression of a more general left-wing politics, then it would be unsurprising to learn that progressive messaging about the prevalence of “white supremacy” is fueling trans identification within one of society’s most impressionable demographics. Josie and Devon (pseudonyms), two parents who lead the online support group Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans (PITT), told me how their sons’ exposure to gender-identity ideology in school was preceded by a prolonged “Marxist” analysis of American history.

    Another option available to girls who wish to escape or at least mitigate their status as oppressors is to have a diagnosed mental-health problem—especially ADHD, multiple-personality disorder, gender dysphoria, depression, or anxiety. Patricia said that it is not uncommon for teenage girls in her daughter’s community to one-up one another constantly based on who has more (or more severe) diagnoses. Data compiled over the past decade show a huge upsurge in mental-health problems in youth of both sexes but especially among teenage girls and young women.

    Much of the objectionable “anti-racist” curricula we see today in public schools has trickled down from schools of education, which have become centers for leftist indoctrination. Teachers hoping to immerse children as young as six in what Paulo Freire called “the pedagogy of the oppressed” is, of course, nothing new. Yet until 2020 or so, teachers who subscribed to this view of education might have been reluctant to implement its core principles in ways that would draw criticism from parents, school boards, and risk-averse administrators. Then George Floyd happened, and the “critical pedagogy” movement went into overdrive. The political environment made it dangerous for school administrators to seem neutral even toward radical forms of “anti-racist” curricula. The institutionalization of critical pedagogy was now a non-negotiable imperative, sanctified by the martyr of Minneapolis.

    California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC) seeks to integrate the principles of critical race theory into all aspects of school life, especially classroom instruction. ESMC is, to put it bluntly, an effort to codify Paulo Freire and pressure reluctant teachers and administrators into implementing his methods. It instructs teachers to “decolonize” their classrooms by bringing to the fore the perspectives, or “lived experiences,” of the oppressed. (“Lived experience” is a term that comes from existentialism and implies a revolt against scientific objectivity, but DEI trainers in schools tend to use it more as a form of epistemic affirmative action, implying—inconsistently—that there is no truth but also that the victim’s perspective is an objective and inarguable fact.) ESMC’s architects see themselves as disciples not of the liberal universalism of the Martin Luther King, Jr. but of the illiberal identitarianism of Malcolm X. As the preface to ESMC states, “the People of Color Power movements that emerged in the 1960s,” including the Black Power movement, “are the movements that Ethnic Studies rose from.”

    {snip}

    Any effort to bring this mental and physical health crisis to an end will have to account for the soft infrastructure of the gender-identity movement. This means, among other things, acknowledging the deep but often unnoticed connection between “ethnic studies” (and various other iterations of “critical pedagogy”) and “LGBTQ+” identification. Instructed to view their humanity through the distortive lens of “white supremacy,” California’s teen girls are seeking refuge in puberty blockers, testosterone injections, and double mastectomies, while their parents are almost powerless to stop them. These girls are the sacrificial lambs offered up by the high priests of white guilt. The state’s ESMC was obviously not intended to visit disproportionate harm on girls and women, but perhaps the Left should heed the advice of its own prophet, Ibram X. Kendi, that we ought to judge a policy not by its intention but by its effects.

    Jarek: Thoughts about this have been lurking in the corner of my mind, but this is one of the few times I’ve seen anyone else talking about it. And of such attempts, this is the most scholarly.

    Both The American Conservative and Tablet Magazine have pieces about the Pritzker Family’s funding of transgender issues.

    They look beyond the incredibly comically ugly and absurd Pritzker heir(ess)
    The distraction

    And look at the more interestingly reveal of their transhumanist goals.

    Or, post-humanist.

    A goal I have known about for some time.
    A mission I have documented here for years.

    The Immediate goal is to blur humanity.
    To confuse humanity.

    The immediate goal is to force humanity to accept augmentation through advanced pharmacology and extreme altering surgery.

    The ultimate goal is gene editing, designer embryos, advanced augmentation, tech-interlink and implantation, clone harvesting, and on and on.

    But first barriers must be broken.
    In name of science
    In name of equity (ostensibly)

    First pills to change your sex.
    Next mRNA therapies and “vaccines” to change your appetite.
    Food/meat allergies (instant vegan)

    Ultimately therapies to assist in technological introductions.

    You will witness human evolution in a blink in your time.
    It is occurring.

    Now the simpleton common folk and woke followers don’t know this.

    They’re just duped into the new androgyny trend.
    The non-binary (you can’t categorize me)
    They seldom know how things play out
    They rarely figure it out

    That is why they are so reliable

    at destroying humanity

    Hi JHK Admin,
    “And so, by February of 2022, you get this coalition of lunatic countries — preoccupied at home with the rankest political degeneracy disguised as virtue — provoking a proxy war in Ukraine with the aim of impoverishing, humiliating, and weakening Russia. And despite the massive funding and training of a 200,000-man Ukrainian military poised against the Donbas, the whole thing collapsed in misadventure as a strategic Russian meat-grinder chewed through the West’s proxy army like so much lunchmeat… bringing us up-to-date.”

    What would evidence to the contrary look like here? If the Russians and the Ukrainians keep fighting it out for the next six months without a clear winner and with stresses showing in both societies, what does this say about this prediction? Whether you like to acknowledge it or not the Ukrainians do not buy your analysis. For them, this is a war of national survival, rather than a silly great power distraction of wealthy nations. If you can claim that this is an existential threat to Russia as seen through Russian eyes, why not extend that analysis foundation to the Ukrainians? I don’t get your unwillingness at all. Because it is that standpoint that drives Eastern European nations who have had first hand historical experience of Russian expansionism and aggression against them. I believe it is an analytical mistake to see Eastern Europe as “puppetry in action.” The Eastern Europeans clearly speak of these issues in terms of self-determination. You ignore this language. Why? One possible reason: It does not fit the narrative you want to offer and is inconvenient to your viewpoint. On that note, what about “mass formation psychosis”?

    “As the psychologist Mattias Desmet points out in his just-published book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, the people tragically locked into a mass formation develop, among many other delusions and psychopathologies, the grandiose idea that they have an ethical duty to destroy other nations. Hence, perhaps, you can see how the dangerous mischief of RussiaGate, Hillary Clinton’s spoofish punkery that Russia “interfered” in the 2016 election, mutated into an American foreign policy psychosis.”

    What I find really interesting about this paragraph is that it can be used (and has been) by those on the Left to characterise what is going on in American society. I think folks on the left are having difficulty owing the blow up in inflation, for sure. Still, people on the Right believe interesting things and continue to do so even in the face of evidence that shows clearly what they believe is wrong which amazes folks on the Left. Members on the Right call out Trump to the 6 Jan 2021 Committee as a “clear and present danger” to the Republic, and that his narrative of a stolen election wasn’t even one he actually believed but rather pushed to try and stay in power using unsavoury tactics (now being narrated as a helpless DT poisoned and seduced to the dark side by Lawyer Eastman). No one is actually refuting the witness evidence for that now–offered by people UNDER LEGALLY BINDING OATH to support it. Maybe ignoring it, as many are trying to do will work. Tucker believes so. I watched the shell game of trying to support this stolen election narrative (this blog did so on numerous occasions), and as one claim was refuted, another arose, as by magic! 50,000 votes here or there!!!! No actual evidence to support this. Correlations but no causation. And even though this stuff is debunked, you don’t hear people who believed these falsehoods turning around and saying, “Wow, I guess I should change my mind about that….” They will continue to believe that the election was stolen. So, to folks on the Left or even the Centre, that unwillingness to look at reality in the eye and acknowledge it sounds like ample grounds for pushing that label of mass formation psychosis on quite a number of True Believers on the Right.

    Don’t worry. I recognise that won’t change anyone’s mind here, but I would like to understand why the 6 Jan hearings have done zip to change anyone’s minds here–especially when the people the committee are talking to are REPUBLICANS. One of the heuristics we use in determining truthfulness is corroboration–people on both sides of an issue agree that something happened. Well, we have that, and it makes zip difference to folks here. We also use sourcing as a heuristic. And some of these people interviewed were high up in the Trump political organization, including Giuliani who refused to repeat the BS he stated in public when under oath. Or they are respected Republican conservative figures. As did the rest of the folks who showed amazing levels of cowardice in not publicly speaking the truth earlier when it might have helped (e.g., AG Barr, etc…). Again, no movement.

    Anyhow, we live in interesting times. Just be aware that people on the other side think that many of the claims advanced here are also examples of mass formation psychosis (MFP). We could even talk about foreign policy MFP on the Right concerning Russia!
    Cheers

        Hi 100th Avatar,
        I get it. You don’t have a rational argument to make and what I say makes you anxious because no one wants to hear that they may have been sucked into a giant con. But the lack of an argument or evidence and the resort to ad hominem style attacks from you is telling. You appear to be a True Believer. You take what you are told about wide-spread election fraud on faith. Someone reports something that at first blush seems creditable, and as you delve into it, the initial claims fall apart. But your side cannot be wrong! The election was stolen; good people have said so, and you believe these good people whether or not what they say is backed by evidence or not. Unfortunately, some of these people are not good people. They deliberately misinform because they have other agendas–even agendas as tacky as just holding onto power for its own sake. An agenda that the former President clearly has.

        OK. That is your right.
        Be well
        HE
        PS. Yes–corroboration on both sides doesn’t work as a heuristic for you anymore because the folks who believe different things to you MUST be deranged. Is there ANY evidence that anyone could offer you that would allow you to change your mind? If so, what would tat evidence be?

        • JohnAZ June 23, 2022 at 11:14 am #

          The evidence was never even looked at, even in Arizona, the Secretary of State refused electoral information to the legislature. Was there fraud? We will never know, most of the evidence is now probably at the bottom of the ocean.

          Fellow conservatives, forget the fraud. The WEF supported Left has won the battle. We need to concentrate on the two elections coming up. The Left retains control? The WEF wins the war here.

      I didn’t care hugely who won the last U.S. election, because Trump had capitulated completely on covid. I’m not convinced the election was stolen, but I am convinced there was significant election-fraud, but that’s often the case in U.S. elections. Why not bipartisan calls to secure the election process? Instead, arguments about who “really” won the last election, while election-practices get worse and worse.

      What are you more interested in, hustled enough? Fair elections, or partisanship?

      It’s hard enough to get fair elections when a majority of the public ARE clamoring for them. When they’re more interested in other things though… elections quickly become something barely worthy of the name.

          I’m not personally convinced fraud swayed the election, and this may be because I was less interested in the election outcome than in 2016, and haven’t followed every detail of the 2020 fraud stories.

          Trump had lost some momentum. The massive, massive challenges had proven too big for him to face, in my opinion.

          In 2024, the Republican candidate should have fully reinvigorated momentum.

    • SoftStarLight June 23, 2022 at 10:35 am #

      So you are saying that you definitely don’t believe that the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary Clinton? And you are also saying that the Democrat effort to persuade Trump electors at that time to cast their votes for Hillary was equally as dangerous and damaging as Trump’s efforts to investigate the 2020 election?

            Ugh!

            I really wonder if the change has been the result of immigration, meaning that socialist elements from other countries come here not to assimilate, but to convert. Are they supported by groups dedicated to the peaceful conversion of America? Think George Gascon and George Soros. These groups just push liberal elements upward in political society until they control everything. Hence, today.

            The main point, America is no longer controlled by native Americans. These people have no skin in the game.

            Proof? How about a microcosm of the same thing. California has been exporting immigrants to the entire West for the last forty years. Ask MQ about Boise and Idaho. I will tell you that Arizona, a conservative bastion, is now potentially blue this year. California is responsible for converting half the country.

            My conclusion to California is that “Once a Liberal socialist, always a Liberal socialist”. Texas’ Abbott has raised an alarm on the effect of California immigrants on Texas redness. They leave California because socialism has ruined them but for some reason, they do not believe that and carry their damned liberalism with them to their new digs. The Southern border is the same thing on a grand scale. The illegals are a socialist liberal Trojan Horse.

            Wonder who might be bankrolling all of them to make the journey, gather them into caravans, organize transportation, feed them, threaten Mexico from stopping them, encourage the illicit trades via the cartels, and elect a government here that looks the other way at the border.

            Smells like Georgie Porgie and his side kicks in the WEF. This organization has succeeded in converting all levels of US government to socialistic ideals. They have even converted many RINOs to their Leftist ideals.

            Proof? Donald Trump. He understands what is happening. He knows who the swamp is, and where they came from. He wanted to stop the flow of immigrants to stop the conversion by building the wall. The WEF pulled out all the stops to get him out of DC so the conversion could continue. We are witnessing the conversion in action more and more every day. Biden, a total imbecile, was elected by the minority immigrants and idiot hide bound Democrats that do not even understand that their party is destroying patriotic America.

            We have two more chances, maybe, to reverse the trend by the vote. If unsuccessful, patriotic America is done. Immigration will have converted the country. The degradation of everything caused by Dem policies will continue until the US is so weakened, it becomes a WEF vassal state.

            All my relatives in central Nebraska have abandoned their childhood small town homes for the countryside. Besides being a good move in general, they all say the same thing: their small towns are virtually unrecognizable now after being colonized as or from overflow from nearby “sanctuary cities.” This is particularly distressing for hard working small town Nebraska people who are not used to or welcoming of such radical change in a single generation. And needless to say, these immigrants are hardly of the hard working agricultural variety, but usually shell-shocked victims from foreign shit holes that fell victim to US military imperialist policies. As the worm turns. US foreign policy yet again coming home to roost.

    @stelmos:

    You are correct about it being possible to throw dice trillions of times without a 12 coming out, but the probability of that happening is so low, that it would take longer than the life of the universe for it to happen (assuming a fair set of dice and a finite lifetime of the universe). Back in the Middle Ages, when I was taking a thermodynamics course in college, I learned that it is possible for a lake to freeze over in summer when the temperature is say, 100 degrees. The zillions of water molecules that constitute the lake always move randomly (called Brownian motion), and theoretically could line up in such a way as to form ice crystals. The probability of that occurring is infinitesimally low, but it can happen. The moral of the story is to never put away your ice skates – you could be ice skating this July.

    The only time I can think of in history that a division inside a country was resolved with little bloodshed was England when the War of the Roses, (or was it the Hundred Years’ War) was finally resolved by Parliament telling both sides to F off and brought in William and Mary from Hanover, Germany to be the king and queen.

    Even so, Scottish Catholics in the Highlands fought for one side, the Stuarts and got wiped out by George the second. England sent most of the survivors to the US to get them out of the area. Ironically, they were a big part of the Revolution against George the third.

      JAZ, your time line is off. The War of the Roses was from 1455-1485. What you’re thinking of is ‘The Glorious Revolution, which occurred in 1688. One of the reasons it was called that is because here was a new regime being established without resorting to violence — and the execution of Charles 1 (1649) and the English Civil War (250,000 dead) was within living memory.

    We got a conflict of interest brewing in Ct. On Sat. we have the signature Pride Event in West Hartford — it’s big, the grand tranny of all Pride Events. Every Big Dem pol in the state attends, including the Governor and both US Senators. TV stations gives it wall to wall coverage, and it leads the evening news. When the Guest of Honor arrives — an enormous, 300 lbs. Tranvestite — you’d think Jesus Christ himself had come back.

    The problem is the same day, just a few miles to the east, Hartford holds its Puerto Rican Pride Parade, which is big too. Within the Hispanic Community, which is most of Hartford, it is huge. So we have two Pride events going head to head. Whereas a few years ago major Dems would be at Puerto Rico Day events, they’re now at Gay Celebration events. Some amigos say there is racism at work here, The Gay Pride event being mostly white and wealthy.

      A good outcome would be for Hartford’s Hispanic Street Gangs to jump into their low riders, radios blasting Puerto Rican music, haul ass to WHartford, crash the Pride Parade, and shake up that Whitebread soiree exactly at the moment when Senator Blumenthal is giving his speech on tolerance lol.

        I’m not gettin’ it. We fly the PR flag at city hall here. PR is not even a state. Where is the Guam flag? My best buddy in high school was a PR. Played the harp like nobodies business. Probably one of about 10-15 in a class of 500. There are still not a lot of Hispanics in this town. We had two black girls in my class ’75. Beautiful and smart. Voted best dressed.

            Do they still do that in school? Best looking, best dressed, class clown, etc? Or do all these people get canceled now? I was in the running for class skipper. Absent 27 days in my senior year. I really had no use for the BS they were slingin’

            LOL! Me and a buddy went all the way senior year and got expelled. When I found out what a great deal night school was to make up the credits I needed to graduate, I wonder why I hadn’t done it junior year as well. I needed gym and an English class. The gym guy didn’t care if we did anything, just had to show up twice a quarter until he took attendance and then be on our way. The English class you could test out of, which I did. Still had to show up once a quarter for attendance after that. Wham, bam, thank you ma’am; I matriculated my young smart ass right on out of there. It was like I never went to school at all!

    Thank goodness the month if June is almost over and behind us. That will conclude yet another year of “Pride” related events and Juneteenth celebrations. What will July bring? Who knows, maybe we can actually focus on more important things facing the nation.

    Apparently July is known for Disability Pride Month and National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness and Prevention Month. Boy, those parades should be interesting to watch!

    How exactly is a Federal gas tax holiday going to help us win against inflation anyway? Based on reasonable calculations, it will probably save the average person about $10/month. As a result, there will be less funding for infrastructure, pushing up the Federal borrowing to spend on such initiatives, such as the Green New Deal and Build Back Better agendas.

    I have heard rumors that some sort of portal is supposed to be open at CERN on July 5. Some are saying that the amount of energy that will be used to “collide particles” will knock out power essentially across the world. Sorta like a mass EMP or something. Others are saying the portal will allow “aliens” to cross into our realm. All very rumory for sure but interesting nonetheless. I was gonna link it but I still can’t link anything without it going into moderation so.

    • cowbell81 June 23, 2022 at 3:22 pm #

      That would be one hell of a way to cancel America the day after its birthday and start the new world order. July 5th would forever after be celebrated as One World Dominance Day (OWDD). Those of the BSDM persuasion would totally be on board.

      • SoftStarLight June 23, 2022 at 3:26 pm #

        I thought the timing of it is very interesting as well. Apparently the CERN people are doing some sort of mult-day celebration between July 3-5. I thought I saw where they supposedly are celebrating CERN’s 10 year anniversary.

        Saw a bumper sticker when I was out driving around the other day that gave me a good laugh:

        “I could shit a better president than Biden”

        There are some mighty good ones out there if you take the time to look. Another favorite of mine is:

        “If you’re gonna ride my ass at least pull my hair”

        And the ones with the little guy pissing on the Ford logo, Chevy logo, or what-have-you.

    Was reading that there is at least one thing in our economy that bucks the inflationary trends, and that is a photo-op with VP Kamala Harris. Previously the cost was $15,000, but now with her ratings in the toilet the sale price is a mere $5,000.

    What a bargain! Pretty soon they will realize that no one will even want to fork over that amount, and they will have no choice but to PAY people to appear in public with her! That is one way all the homeless vagabonds on the streets of her home state of California could earn some extra green this summer.

      Well, the Dems are contemplating putting Gov Newsom up for President in 2024, bypassing Heels Up Harris. I say great. The Repubs could script a campaign ad in an endless loop of video showing tens of thousands of vagrants in LA and SF, shooting dope, crapping in the streets, smashing car windows … and one more ad depicting the smash and grab looting in pharmacies and high end stores in malls across Cal. That’s all DeSamtis would need, just two ads.

        do not disrespect JUNETEENTH

        Allstate and Progressive severed their partnerships with an insurance company in Millinocket, Maine, after the company posted a racist sign in its window on Juneteenth, causing outrage in the local community.

        Juneteenth, which is celebrated on June 19 of every year, is a commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S. It was made a federal holiday only last year by President Joe Biden.

        The Harry E. Reed Insurance Agency didn’t seem happy to take the day off in honor of the holiday, however. A sign posted on the window of the agency in Maine was quickly condemned for being racist, as it read: “Juneteenth. It’s whatever…We’re closed. Enjoy your fried chicken and collard greens.”

        Pictures of the sign were shared on social media, including by a user who goes by the name Geo1976rge, who also called out both Allstate and Progressive for their partnerships with Harry E Reed Insurance.

        “And, is that an @Allstate logo on the bottom right? Bet they also do @Progressive. Is this the type of hatred you want posted right next to your company

    “North Dakota AG Investigates Bill Gates Farmland Purchase

    Over the years, Gates has quietly amassed 270,000 acres of farmland across the country through personal investment vehicles”

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/north-dakota-ag-investigates-bill-gates-farmland-purchase

    A college dropout, criminal wanted in several countries for vaccine-related deaths and damages, investor in genetically modified frankenfoods, insect-diet pusher, and traitor to his country in league with the WEF to push the Great Reset is the largest private farmland owner in the US — and continues to add to his holdings

            Bill Gates is the largest private owner of farmland in the United States.

            And he promotes and is connected to organizations who also promote the end of natural food.

            The point, as so often, goes write over your head.

            In a list of the 50 largest land-owners in the US, Bill Gates doesn’t feature (Bezos does, though, but he’s not carrying your list of unfounded charges…).
