In August, the head-shrinkers notoriously abandon their posh clientele among the managerial elites, who are left to flounder in the flotsam of their disordered lives while their shrinks go off to body-surf and drink mojitos. And so, a month that ought to be a pleasant break from routine business leaves the managers of all that routine business awash in a rising tide of their own personal misery — the job-haters, the sexually tortured, the self-subverters, the hopeless obsessive-compulsives, the cringing masochists, the unloved and unlovable, the projectionists of animus, rancor, and loathing….
Among these are The People of the Blob, the folks infesting the high ranks of our government’s permanent bureaucracy, which has turned so viciously against the governed. Do you doubt any longer that this demographic in the USA is mentally ill? This malady of self-destructive bad faith and enmity afflicting especially the Democratic Party shoves us inch-by-inch and day-by-day toward something that looks like national suicide. Must we all follow?
Could this sick polity be better personified than by the tragi-comic figure at the head of it: “Joe Biden” along with the Biden family? The scope of this clan’s derangements is almost Shakespearean, lacking only that decorum of personal presentation on view in all the Bard’s plays. King Lear, tormented as he was, would never face-plant after a speech. His daughters had a lot to worry about, but as far as we know, they were not subjected to showering with the big guy. And, there were no known recordings of the Earl of Gloucester smoking crack with naked, under-age girls.
Yet, in the real-life of our nation, “JB’s” troubles mount as each day peels off the calendar. Only the most pathologically credulous might fail to notice the slime trail of bribery lately uncovered by congressional sleuths. “JB” obviously put himself in the service of interests outside the United States, and how is that working out now, notably in Ukraine, where he has levered us into the most perilously half-assed war imaginable — the losing of which will dash what’s left of America’s standing in the world?
One thing that has become clear in this cabbage soup of perfidy, is just how blobbed-up Volodymyr Zelensky was when President Donald Trump made that fateful phone call to him in August of 2019 inquiring about “JB’s” curious doings in Kiev over the years. Did Z follow-up that call immediately with one to Alexander Vindman in the National Security Counsel… who then called Eric Ciaramella of the NSC and CIA? Because, voilà, there was something supernatural about how fast we were off to Impeachment Number One!
And now the not-insane cohort of Americans is prompted to ask whether this war in Ukraine was provoked in any part to cover-up all the nefarious blobbery that preceded it — and not just Hunter and “Joe Biden’s” capers, but the machinations, too, of State Department blobette Victoria Nuland and her retinue in the Kiev embassy, Marie Yovanovitch, George Kent, and many others of the Blob persuasion. A review of all this suggests that “Joe Biden” is what has driven the Democratic Party insane. And now, of course, they can’t seem to get rid of him, like a demon riding them through an endless nightmare.
Instead, they have bent every last effort to get rid of “JB’s” supposed rival, Donald Trump, who has been inducted into a Lawfare-engineered chamber of horrors designed to slice-and-dice him into a million pieces and strew the shreds into the Potomac for the blue crabs to feed on. One can’t imagine a lamer case than the charges Special Counsel Jack Smith has cooked up against Mr. Trump for verbally expressing doubt about the probity of election 2020. Will Mr. Smith be able to prove any of this, assuming that it is now against the law in America to believe something and say so?
Logically, Mr. Trump’s defense might present reasons why he believed the election was rife with fraud, by introducing evidence of said fraud, of which there is actually an impressive amount now, despite whatever mendacious bullshit you see in The New York Times and on MSNBC. Do you suppose Judge Tanya Chutkan would do anything but allow that evidence to be introduced? And if she disallows it, is that not instantly grounds for a mistrial, since it would prove beyond a reasonable doubt there were good reasons, after all, for Mr. Trump to express what he believed?
Things are getting durned interesting. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FLA) offered a charming plan this week to counter this deceitful DOJ crusade. Here’s how it would work. First, the House Judiciary Committee calls Special Counsel Jack Smith to give transcribed testimony in the next fifteen days regarding the weaponization of the First Amendment. If he refuses, subpoena him. If he ignores the subpoena, the Committee holds him in criminal contempt of Congress, and issues a formal referral to Attorney General Merrick Garland. If Mr. Garland ignores the referral, impeach the SOB forthwith. At the same time, invite Mr. Trump to give testimony to the Committee as a whistleblower, conferring congressional immunity to him among the usual whistleblower protections as stated in law (under 18 U.S. Code 6002 and 6005).
Impeaching Mr. Garland would surely have a salutary influence on America’s current troubled mental state. And it would be a grand prelude to the more consequential impeachment of “Joe Biden” for selling out his country, a kind of political electroshock therapy for the Democratic Party, leaving them finally clear-headed enough to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in the coming election of 2024.

In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.”
Kathie has also been accused of “professional misconduct” by the New York State Licensing Board for prescribing Ivermectin via telehealth visits in July 2021. Many other medical practitioners across the United States have been similarly persecuted and some have lost their licenses to practice. Kathie has been under investigation by New York’s Office of Professional Discipline since March 2022. No decision has been reached as of May 2023.

A friend of mine told me that an American president from Joe Biden’s party once said that those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. I wonder what Joe Biden’s party thinks of this cretin. Personally, I have no opinion. All glory to the state.
Greetings all. First time commenter here. Been following JHK since Geo of Nowhere came out and read it and always entirely espoused his neo-urbanism views. In fact, one of my old bosses was essential in dev. of Seaside, FL (which was made a joke of by many, but anyway…). Followed this blog since it started and particularly enjoy EOTM since I’m an artist and a very critical one. Submitted one once myself of the very same art museum that I’m about to comment on, and he did respond, but I guess it didn’t make the cut.
I was lucky to live in one of those “perfectly-planned cites,” Savannah GA, for many years. Took for granted the conveniences and beauty and pure social flow and “small town living” but had to leave for family reasons.
Politically/socially I am a live-and-let-live anarcho-libertarian type who actually does have moral standards. And they were finally just totally shot to pieces when I visited my local art museum for the first time in 7 or 8 years. It has changed completely and now shuttles you through each exhibit starting with the “featured” one, before you can view the other collections. Well, the main feature of the first collection, and I have no great link and youtube doesn’t even show anything related at all as far as I can tell, but just websearch “Mrs. Peanuts Visits New York directed by ‘Charles Atlas’”. That is a video you cannot unsee. And the point that is obviously being made, is that this was shot in the ‘90s, therefore, this tranny/sicko agenda should be WELL BY NOW a “normal” thing. I actually sat through it all and noticed all the folks who stopped and stared and even heckled as this creature sauntered on. But it’s being GLORIFIED in this little backwoods part of the USSA.
At this point, I’m even beyond backing Trump or RFK and just praying every day for the Russian hypersonic ICBMs to turn DC into trinitite. I’ll be upwind of it anyway. That’s about the only way I see for a new freedom for those of us who happen to live here. NB: I’m not talking about those of who live “in this country/nation.” We’re way the f past that.
PS: lizharmon always luv your posts. Always on point.
Our Lady Of The Well ~ Jackson Browne
It is a dance we do in silence, far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine, we have begun
Here we stand and without speaking draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains to where the mountains lie so still
But it’s a long way that I have come
Across the sand, to find this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh, it’s so far, the other way my country’s gone
Across my home has grown the shadow of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts the love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance and a woman’s smile to learn
That my heart remains among them and to them I must return
But it’s a long way that I have come
Across the sand, to find you here, among these people in the sun
Where your children will be born
You’ll watch them as they run
Oh, it’s so far, the other way my life has gone
If you look for me, Maria
You will find me in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It’s hard to tell
If you come to me, Maria
I will show you what I’ve made
It’s a picture for our lady of the well
Appreciate reply and please elaborate on your reason for such? Do enjoy the song, btw…
Woke is the antithesis of art.
“…. Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh, it’s so far, the other way my country’s gone

Though in some strong hearts the love and truth remain…”
Why do they hate RFK Jr. so much? If it came down to him vs. Trump, I’d vote RFK in a second.
For the same reason they hated Bernie – both guys speak the truth as they see it, instead of slavishly following the narrative. And think what you will of both guys’ positions, neither seems to be constantly lying to us, unlike most politicians.
LMAO! Do you sincerely believe that “they” hate Bernie?
Bernie is a role-player, a character actor. He expands the DNC’s tent and lure-in young naieve voters. He then bows out, supports the nominee, and pushes his voters to the real Dem candidate. He has done this for ages. They love him, and thank him for his service.
I agree completely, EL.
…Yes, M’lord, what you said….
Yep. Bernie’s faux populism is empty theatre. When push comes to shove, he dutifully clicks heels, salutes, and serves his billionaire oligarch masters in the military industrial complex just as fast and feverishly as any neocon.
Exactly
And how, EL! I asked Bernie for my money (campaign contribution) back once I realized what a fraud he was.
“Joe’s a good guy”, insisted Bernie, in his phony debate against Joe. yuck.
Sadie,
Bernie was probably referring to “Joe” Hill….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hill_(activist)
He is a loyal soldier… and donation magnet lol
When he cast his vote for Hillary, he looked like he was in hell. He still has a conscience, apparently, and it didn’t like what he was doing one bit.
One is reminded of John McCain: When one of his supporters said how frightened she was of Obama, McCain got very serious said, No, he’s a great American.
The Uniparty. The Blob. The Beast.
I started calling him Burnus for cause in 2016.
Much sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Thank you Edge Lord! You perfectly described Bernie’s very lucrative role-playing scam.
“He then bows out” LMAO! Bernie didn’t bow out after having a heart attack…
RFK Jr speaks the truth as he sees it to enormous personal, political and professional cost. Bernie – the 3 home owning, wife university defrauding, millionaire book writing “socialist” – not so much. Frankly, Bernie does nothing but lie and, while he’s not demented like JB, is not much smarter than JB was when JB wasn’t suffering dementia. Also, at least RFK Jr has had a career outside of politics and done something useful and productive in his life – tirelessly researching, writing and suing massive corporations for fraud, negligence and poisoning the US public. Sanders has done nothing more than create an amusing character for Larry David to play on SNL. He’s never sponsored and passed any legislation that’s helped one person have a better life; he’s never created a job that wouldn’t already exist; he’s basically been useless. He’s popular because he gives vent to inchoate rage on the part of people (many young people) who feel robbed of their future by the current ruling class all the while cynically lying to them about what he could or intends to actually do about it.
Bravo.
That was:
“Prittttttyyyyyyyyy, prityyyyyyyyyyyyyy good”
Agree, but would like to also add that the one heroic thing BS did was to lock arms with the great Ron Paul in attempting to Audit the Fed. Which went…….
““Prittttttyyyyyyyyy, prityyyyyyyyyyyyyy good”
…A CYE reference….
The best part about Bernie is that he has no idea that he’s a pawn in this game. They don’t even have to manage him. He just screams his communist talking points over and over and is most likely honestly surprised when he’s patted on the head and told to take a seat after pulling in the deluded youth.
@Lawfish, RFK is hated because he tells the truth AND reserves the right to modify his opinion if and when more data becomes available.
I would pay money to watch a debate between RFK Jr and Trump.It would be like watching a pickup truck hit a rooster at 70 mph – just one feather moving side to side as it settles to the ground.
Moderator: Mr. Kennedy, if you were president, during the forthcoming pandemic as promised by Bill Gates, would you accept a check from Pfizer to induce you to to permit a “lockdown” as you have asserted your opponent in this debate did?
“the forthcoming pandemic as promised by Bill Gates…”
I notice you use the word PROMISED, not the usual mainstream “predicted.”
I am always happy to see kindred spirits who recognize that the Gates psychopath engineers this shit, not just “foresees” it. He’s forecasting his own PLANS. He is positively salivating at the prospect of the next pandemic.
Remember the interview where he expressed his frustration with how Americans’ fetish for freedom and individual rights was thwarting the Covid pandemic response? He said, “The NEXT one [pandemic] will get their attention!” He said it with a smug, smiling SMIRK on his face. (And wife Melinda smiled too.)
There’s a reason RFK Jr. has Bill Gates by name right there in the subtitle of his damning book about Fauci.
Gates is a monster. A genuine, as bad as any wartime 20th century dictator, monster.
Because he plays Mr Rogers rather than Lex Luthor, he has the mass millions of minions snowed under. The “kindly,” nerdy billionaire.
Always a depressing thought that, regarding “muh fellow Americans…”
^this
I have no particular reason for thinking this other than gut instinct – although possibly an educated gut instinct – but I think a debate b/n RFK and Trump would surprise people. I think there is a great deal more respect between the 2 than people would believe b/c too many have bought into the narrative told by the media ad nauseum that Trump is a buffoon and RFK is a nut. Neither is either.
I believe Trump and RFK have great differences but they are substantive ones and ones on the nature of capitalism and the economy. On big things – like our core civil liberties, immigration policy, constitutional order, pulling America out of military adventures overseas and how our trade policy for decades has decimated the middle and working class – they largely agree.
I think they both have respect for each other too. After all – and too many people either don’t know or forget or ignore this – Trump and RFK and family have run in similar social circles for many many years. RFK is exactly the kind of person that Trump would respect – a largely self-made man who’s not beholden to the DC administrative state and lobbyists – and likely vice versa. I doubt that a debate between the two would see Trump’s signature contempt for virtually all politicians and I think RFK would debate substance intelligently and with poise. I also doubt that either would be drawn in by the kind of unsubstantiated “gotcha” question you posed, Jones. I think they’d want to debate each other on core philosophy and policy. Of course, I may be wrong but I think I’m more right than wrong. It’s also not going to happen, but I would LOVE to see a debate between the two. I think it would be one of the most substanstive, fascinating and eye-opening we’ve seen in presidential politics in a LONG time but would hardly be the train wreck you think.
Completely and emphatically agree with you, RDC. Right now these are the two main populists we have going from party, and I too would enjoy a head-to-head for all of the reasons you stated. It’s time.
And then what? It’s worse than a circus. It’s like some horror movie where the carnival barker convinces you to get on the Ferris wheel and then you realize you can never get off.
Never mind a head-to-head. That’s the ticket.
If Trump makes it back into the WH, look for RFK to head up Trump’s promised investigations into early childhood diseases and deaths. He almost joined Trump’s first administration to oversee vaccination programs until Fauci elbowed his way in.
Trump and RFK are ticket – in either order. And throw in a few Mark Robinsons. It’s the last hope before the option no one wants.
Your points are well-put, rundmc, and I will confess that I was not being entirely realistic when I fantasized about a moderator phrasing a question as I did. That’s just one reason I will never be asked to serve as moderator for a presidential debate – sounds like something I would say….
You’re 100% correct that RFK Jr treats opponents respectfully but I cannot say the same about Trump. I also agree with you on the point that a debate between the two is not likely to happen but I think there is a chance. Biden is clearly on his last legs and it would be a monumental effort on the part of his handlers to shoot him full of enough stimulants to stand him up thru the conclusion of another campaign. They are scrambling to come up with a viable alternative to Kamala and the early money is on Newsom. It is possible Americans would reject the guy who did more to wreck California than anyone in recent memory and might just open the door for RFK Jr.
I do not think it would be “gotcha” in nature for RFK Jr. to mention the fact that Trump hired him to run the Covid “vaccine” effort, accepted a $1,000,000 check from Pfizer (illegally) and then fired RFK Jr before he could take a single action. He replaced RFK Jr. with Anthony Fauci. Those are facts as stated by RFK Jr himself and if publicly confronted with those facts, I don’t think Trump could hold his composure.
RFK Jr is also on record as stating the “lockdown” is the exact opposite of recommended procedure in a health crisis. You don’t quarantine the healthy, you quarantine the diseased. RFK Jr also said the “lockdown” created more billionaires than any event in history, moving money from the middle class to the 1%.
I think RFK Jr has the intellect, the sense of adventure and the testicular fortitude to bring up these points to Trump in public, on stage and face to face. I could be wrong. Trump’s reaction would be noteworthy and potentially priceless, if he didn’t start railing about terrible terrible crooked this that and the other. Forcing Trump to own his actions would be a masterstroke. That’s why I used the pickup truck/rooster analogy (my sincere apologies to roosters the world over.)
RFK Jr is articulate, intelligent and competent. Trump is none of those things. A debate between them would be decimation, at least. Just my opinion, as always your mileage may vary.
RFK Jr is articulate, – C. O. Jones
=========
I think his speech impediment is a big negative.
“In an interview last year with CNN, Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated: “I think (Donald) Trump can be any kind of president he wants. I think he could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to.”
https://www.timesonline.com/story/opinion/letters/2017/12/15/trump-could-be-greatest-president/16829744007/
The above quote is hard to find now. If you do a Google search, you keep getting the Snopes article explaining how RFK Jr. didn’t really say what everybody heard him say.
rundmc,
“Neither is either”. I love it and agree. Between Jr and any of the other republicans (other than Trump) running in 2016 I would have voted for him. Being a dem doesn’t automatically make you an enemy. Ah, to find a way that they could work together as equals.
But we have, what was once referred to as, a “mob run town”. Where the mob runs it all, the mayor and the sheriff are bought and the genpop are essentially powerless to really do anything beyond self-sacrificial acts of resistance. But we now have a mob run country.
That is why they hate him. They’ve suckered half the country into hating Trump & can throw roadblock after roadblock at him.
RFK cannot be so easily abused or mislead. He knows the inner workings. He knows where many bodies lies & has the connections to find out where tbe rest are.
And, agree or disagree, we know where he stands. Makes it easier for we the people to correct his course where he’s misguided.
Yes. I just saw another article by a conservative, that talked about Trump’s divisiveness.
Trump was NOT divisive. The Republicans worked just as hard as the media to make it appear that way.
If you look at a map of his win on election night 2016, it is clear just how much of the country he was bringing together.
I know for fact that in a lot of the areas that went heavily for Trump, the people HATE New Yorkers, particularly New Yorkers from NYNY.
They put aside their prejudices to elect him.
Yet people call him divisive.
Thank you, Beryl. Every single policy position Trump espoused (including those he’d been vocally espousing for decades while not a politician) is supported by a majority of US adults, many of his positions by a vast majority of US adults – of all races, genders and ethnic groups. His positions on immigration, trade policy, US manufacturing, energy control, educational choice, abortion policy (restrictions after first trimester), crime and law and order, military readiness, restraining ourselves from overseas military adventurism, tax and spend, debt control, and on are hugely popular. Obama’s policies, outside of Obama as a person, were hugely unpopular. And, Obama – after campaigning as someone who eschewed identity politics warfare – lept into it full throatedly once President even to taking sides (as President – almost unheard of) on local city police matters and making them federal issues. It’s ALWAYS what they are doing that they accuse others of. Obama and his party – the most divisive in US history since the civil war – accusing Trump and his voters of being divisive….
The misguided part will be his Zionist position related to Israel.
Bobby agreed to a sit down interview with Max Blumenthal (they are friends) then he said no then he said yes again.
Saw yesterday where 400 Israeli academics plus many Palestinians have come together to fight Netanyahu. I would link it but it seems this site doesn’t like linkies.
And speaking of Democrats suddenly changing, Kucinich is his campaign manager! At one time he had a reasonable position on Israel related to Palestinians.
Change the https to httpx and links work. The odd https slips through every now and then, but most often one has to simply trick the code.
Interesting.
above intended for abby
He’s more than misguided on the climate nonsense.
Both RFK and DJT can visit doom upon the bastards. This is why they are hated. It’s not about party affiliation. It’s about slipping the noose and keeping the party rolling.
I respectfully disagree bobfitz03.
Trump had his chance and he responded by appointing nothing but deep-state swamp rats to important office while yelling into a microphone about what these terrible terrible people are doing to his beautiful beautiful country.
He played us.
He claims to be the father of the clot-shot. He authorized the “lockdown” that destroyed the middle class business owners.
He wants to play us again.
No dice.
RFK Jr will make a real difference if he can get elected.
So many snakes in the swamp. So little time.
Watched Dr. Drew yesterday with Dr. David E. Martin.
He said Rand Paul had the documents to bury Fauci in his hands and refused to indict Fauci.
Please watch the interview.
We are dealing with major criminals at the highest levels. And you are correct about the role Trump played in Covid. Notice no “I was wrong” from him?
When he had Covid at Walter Reed in October 2020 he received Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (plus steroids, Vitamin C IV and monoclonal antibodies) and when he was discharged he said he wanted the American people to be allowed the same treatments he got EARLY. Yet he never defended our right to get the protocol he received.
Don’t understand – a Senator cannot “indict” anyone.
The lack of teaching civics to at least two generations in public schools is very telling:
Senators can indict people….Judges can make laws…
Oh wait, Judges DO make laws now. Ha! They don’t know civics either.
Wait, what? Rand Paul is refusing to indict Facui?
No single person is going to save us, and it sure won’t be RFK, but I do like his stance on Pharma and the letter agencies.
I wish him the best of luck, but I have been watching this crap for way too long to think that it’s all going to turn around due to a righteous individual.
And it isn’t just the US that’s collapsing, but rather all of western civilization, and it’s at the point that it cannot be saved peacefully.
Jones – that’s an enormous oversimplification of Trump’s time in office. But, I think you know that. Frankly, Trump’s major failing – despite everything he got done, like raising the economic circumstances of the majority of middle and working class people in this country, redrawing the noxious NAFTA, not starting any wars at all (something no President has done since Carter) – was that he had too much trust in our system still. And, he trusted or didn’t believe that people within our system (including his VP) – while they wouldn’t be happy with his election – would defy every oath they had taken and launch a silent coup or actively try to destroy our entire economy and the world and kill millions just to get him out of office. I can’t actually blame him for not seeing that when first elected.
While Trump succeeded in many policy areas while in office (Covid notwithstanding, and I know that’s a big one), his likely hugest gift to our nation was and continues to be – by being an open political sacrifice – serving to rip the mask off for so many Americans of how hopelessly immoral, lawless and corrupt our “elite” and the DC Administrative state have become. He won’t make the same mistake next time.
But, if we were able to have someone like RFK elected, I worry that he wouldn’t fully recognize the vastness of the evil that infects DC and the elite on our coasts and would make the same mistakes in his first term – not truly believing in and preparing against that evil – that Trump made in his first term.
After all, even when Clinton came into town with his Arkansas posse who had been serving far outside the DC swamp, there was a great deal of hope that he would be able to change the system for the good of us little people. He was relentlessly hounded from Day 1 by the NYT, the WA Post, Republicans and many Dems who thought he and his “hillbilly” crew were interlopers. (Believe me, there were high-level Dem politicians who wept over GHWB losing because – despite being Republican – he was one of their own). And, this was with a guy who was an astute politician and wasn’t even trying to root out the snakes in the system, just trying not to have people overtly enriching themselves on the backs of the middle class.
So, acting as if Trump was supposed to “CHANGE DC” in 3 years (despite clear evidence that when he saw people were doing the “swamp thing” and leaking or using their positions to boost their own profile, he quickly fired them – which is almost never done in DC) is either naive or just based in your simply despising Trump.
Thank you. And thank you again.
I believe that Trump – although very successful in dealing with the standard “concrete pourers union” brand of corruption, for decades – had NO idea, and was completely unprepared to deal with the outright evil and depravity that drives DC, and the global levels.
We’re talking people on the possession spectrum. And he outed the whole hideous mess.
Wasn’t there some “plan” that talked about people having to be “shown” how bad things actually are?
Trump RAN on draining the swamp.
How can that be accomplished by appointing deep state operatives to every position imaginable?
I never said he didn’t do some good things but all the good he did with the economy was overshadowed by him continuing the same “print more money” policies and by his sign-off on locking down.
Trump has been largely successful in pouring gasoline on existing fires and screaming fire.
We will never agree on these points.
Peace
bobfitz – THIS. There are no parties anymore. There’s just people who are outside the system and want to completely rebuild from the ground up or people inside the system who will stop at nothing to keep their own power and authority.
RFK is honest and ready to bust up the Big Pharma vaccine scam…which would cut heavily into the loot for Congress…
Greetings,
I’m trying to pretend that there are adults in the room and I’m looking at the consequences of their actions as opposed to what is being said.
With each inditement, Trump rises in the polls and raises more money for his reelection campaign. Ergo, the Deep State wants him as the Republican frontrunner for 2024.
If they didn’t want him then they’d send out a different order like they have with RFK Jr. which is to just entirely ignore him. The democrats just pretend that he doesn’t exist while prosecuting Trump for “crimes” that are not real and will not survive through the court system.
Beyond that, I can not speculate as to what is going on only that the plan is for Trump vs Biden in 2024 as that is the only thing that will draw people out to vote and that vote gives legitimacy to their Banana Republic.
Agree, all these silly indictments are whipping up the DJT fanatics into a frenzy, as if they really want people to pop off (as did that JB hater did this week and got killed for it)
As many have speculated, DJT is part of the deep state plan to really push us to a NWO. DJt gets elected, and with all the DJT fanatics will be cheering him on as he introduces more draconian NHW WHO WEF decrees. All will be accepted because he is the returned messiah to MAGA.
If RFK jr gets traction, I can bet he will get the deep state kennedy treatment.
Whispers of Michelle Obama (aka big Mike) are happening, and I expect if you don’t vote for him, you are anti-trans.
God help us all.
Well said. We never know what to expect when dealing with this crew. I always expect the unexpected.
It is much simpler than that; the Dems are desperate, and desperate measures are being taken. Don’t neglect the incredible incompetence of this regime.
I don’t think any president gets in without the seal of approval from whatever forces are running things behind the scenes. And it’s pretty easy to do a bit of research to see that most of the tyrannical crap we’ve endured for decades seems to be set in motion by the so-called “Republicans” and brought home/enforced by the so-called “Democrats”. I’m still of the belief that most of the populace is actually a bit right of center just wanting common sense policies at home and abroad. This makes it super easy to lull the country to sleep under a “Republican” administration as people go on with their lives thinking things are okay, only to be surprised as hell when a “Democrat” administration starts their rule and actually enforces all of the garbage that the “Republican” administration set-up. I’ve been observing this teeter totter for decades now. Sad thing is, it’s nearly impossible to convince people to admit this is going on as long as whatever tyranny that’s being implemented was done by “their guy”. It would be amazing if people would stop focusing on a savior to swoop in and save everyone and everything and start focusing on things they can control in their own lives, their families, and their communities. Loved your comment. Sorry for the rant. 🙂
That thought occurred to me, too. That the blob wants trump as the gop candidate.
True that. I always had the remote feeling the Trump is not the White Hat people think. What a twisted, sick Web they weave.
You are 100% correct liber8tor.
Q: Why would a man dedicated to eradicating something (swamp) do nothing but promote it?
A: Because he thinks he’s so much smarter than everyone else that they will appreciate him undermining their very existence.
I want to hear a moderator ask RFK Jr if he would approve a “lockdown” for the next pandemic. Then ask Trump.
Next question has to be if they would approve a “lockdown” for climate change. If any question makes RFK Jr nervous, I’m thinking that would be the one. I am eager to hear his response.
I would have hoped that this thread would deal with facts. Trump never advocated for a national “lockdown.” He always said that our system of federalism allowed state government to determine what was best for their states. (I don’t like his trashing of De Santis over how FL acted, but I think that’s just pettiness on his part as he feels De Santis betrayed him for running. And, if nothing else, Trump is eminently human). I traveled across the country in March – July of 2020 and there actually was NO national lockdown. Many states and counties were completely open with no masking. (And, far lower rates of c-19 too). But, let’s be clear that Trump never advocated for or tried to mandate a national lockdown.
Do you think it will be by 81 million votes again?
Do not presume that the Administrative State is acting in total coordination or is actually smart. (I use the term “Administrative State” rather than “Deep State.” First, it’s more accurate as these are all bureaucrats acting out of inertia, laziness, incompetence or perpetual self-survival mode. I was one of them for 4 years before I fled; I should know. Also, “Deep State” terminology gives them too much power, like they’re Darth Vadar or something while at the same time making anyone who talks about this cabal of losers seem paranoid). And, NO – the AS doesn’t want Trump to be the Republican nominee. You give them far too much credit in thinking that their risking their own unmasking of exactly how much they despise our Constitutional system and rule of law is some grand plan to get people to actually root for Trump and make him the nominee. When they show you who they are, believe them. They hate Trump and have been trying to get him charged and jailed since he first ran for office in 2015. They are just too dumb and incompetent and have too little of a grasp of the American citizenry outside of NY, DC and LA to know how much their idiocy would backfire.
You make a good point about questioning the term “Derp State.” There really are two things that are conflated in that one term. The first is what you have called the “administrative state,” which is indeed incompetent, stupid, inefficient, a big, lumbering, inertial, bureaucratic blob.
But then, there is the much more malevolent intelligence/national security/black-ops state, operating largely beyond our view, a kind of shadowy, Mafia-like network. These are the people who pulled off a coup against the U.S. government (and us, the citizens) in November 1963, and have been ruling us (and much of the world) ever since.
I agree with you that “Deep State” originally signified the administrative state, but over the last few years, “Deep State” has come to signify the secret-services state. You are right to point out the confusion, but I think that the change in connotation is pretty entrenched by now. Nowadays, Deep State is the bad guys, and we’ll just have to call the administrative state… well, the administrative state.
Heartlander – I completely agree with you about the NS/black-ops behind the scenes cabal. However, I also do not believe that – while they are super scary, murderous and would kill their own grandmother to stay in their seat in Langley – they are all that smart or competent. That’s the one thing that continues to give me hope. Despite the successful assassination of JFK, it was so mishandled and clumsy that they never were able to get most of the US public to truly believe the cover story of Oswald and Ruby. Bay of Pigs was a disaster, more and more people in the US are recognzing exactly what they are – which is certainly not in their game plan – and the attempts to overthrow governments around the world, while initially successful, never stick. They are very dangerous boys with toys, but mostly immature, emotionally stunted, not very bright, mentally small people. It’s why I still have hope for the long term.
Good take on it, the Blob hates Trump, plain and simple. Nobody wants to get played or be the naïve fool, but sometimes a duck is just a duck, don’t overthink it.
“Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FLA) offered a charming plan”
You mean more ‘gamesmanship,’ when what is called for is to drag them all out of their offices and put them in chains and put them on trial for treason.
More games for us to watch and debate.
I don’t want right-wing tyranny any more than I want left-wing tyranny, and now that the right-wing is catching on to the gamesmanship, I fear that is what we’ll face on the next crank of the wheel.
That’s kind of like what Jesse Kelly keeps warning us about.
People aren’t going to like who we get next.
IDK, as long as Goetz is following actual laws, I say more power to him.
The problem with Gaetz’s plan is that he does need power, which he has admitted is not there. There is no support for his idea which is not surprising. That is the main reason the country is in such a tattered state. If a “strong man” is elected then look out. The housecleaning could work both ways.
The problem is no one in Congress is with him.
We have not yet seen how far the Left is willing to go to hold on to power. You’ve got the Obama’s and Susan Rice shadowing Joe and telling him what to say and do, while they are weaponizing our own government against us! I even hesitate to leave comments here and on other conservative forums now, because I wonder when the knock comes to my door. That poor guy murdered in Utah is only the tip of the iceberg. Once the Dems win in November 2024 (and don’t kid yourself, nothing will stop them) this country will be well and truly done. They are prepared to kill Trump and RFK too if it comes down to it. Survival of the fittest has left the physical realm and it’s no longer about how big and strong you are, it’s about who can manipulate the data. No longer can we trust our government, our medical establishments, our media or our education system. It is all being weaponized against us. The nightly news has been turned into one long infomercial for drugs and medications being prescribed for diseases that no one has ever heard of. Yes, we are well and truly screwed and no amount of optimism is going to fix it.
“We have not yet seen how far the Left is willing to go to hold on to power.”
Or a long-term plan to take and hold power forever with their CCP allies perhaps?
-Between April and June 2023, officials in Fresno, California, discovered at least 20 potentially infectious agents, such as HIV and Malaria, as well as mice genetically-engineered to carry COVID-19, at an “unlicensed” laboratory in Reedley, California, operated by Prestige Biotech Inc. (PBI), the successor of defunct Universal Meditech Inc. (UMI), according to court records.
-PBI and UMI’s executives appear to share the same names and addresses with one of the lab’s Chinese pharmaceutical suppliers, business filings show.
– “There could be dozens — maybe even hundreds — of these labs that we don’t even know about,” Brandon Weichert, author of “Biohacked: China’s Race to Control Life,” told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

(I keep thinking of the Deagle Report’s forecast of a 60% or so reduction in population in the US by the end of 2025. Fewer people are definitely easier to control, plus there are all these guns in the US. Can’t shoot them if dead. I’m sure the Chinese language has a comparable word for “Lebensraum”).
Well, there was that leaked video from a couple decades ago of a high-up officer in the Chinese defense ministry talking about the ultimate goal being possession of the North American landmass — with the North American peoples eliminated from it.
@ Heartlander:
I suspect that’s the long-term plan. There are reportedly a lot of military-age Chinese men coming across the southern border. California and the west coast in general would be quite the prize–if the population were mostly eliminated. What China needs–perhaps above all–is agricultural land and, secondarily, mineral resources. Initially, I think they might be more interested in Mexico than most of the rest of the US.
The question is, how to get rid of the people? I’d say that direct military confrontation would be a dumb way to do it. So one possibility, re California, is to wait for the dollar to become worthless, at which point much of the urban population would kill each ofther off, and many of the rest would flee. The drug cartels, which, for all practical purposes, are Chinese employees, would be no hindrance. They could even be useful.
Another possibility is an EMP strike–or an engineered grid failure, or both. (No water.) Or a combination of grid failure with a collapsing dollar. So China buys up the whole place and makes loans to whoever is nominally governing the place (IMF style), rendering them puppets. (They probably already are.) Nobody actually admits that California has become a Chinese-controled country.
But this is just novel-writing and not something to be taken too seriously.
Twenty years ago I warned people the Chinese military could infiltrate America via Mexico, and could use the Panama Canal Zone they own as a base for short-range nuclear missiles. I was called an idiot, a conspiracy theorist, and worse. Chinese men are swarming across the Mexican border. Have the ChiComms also based missiles in Panama? And, if so, would the media and the Washington weasels tell Americans about the peril?

The guy in Utah served as an example to the rest of us.
Remember the FBI ignoring it when the kids in Florida tried to get someone to do something about a dangerous classmate?
In the case in Utah, it wasn’t even their job, it was the Secret Service’s job to investigate the seriousness of the threats.
Right now in the courts there are important battles over free speech being fought, and the Biden administration is showing us how they deal with speech they don’t like- shoot first and ask questions later.
I missed the story about the guy in Utah.
Does anyone have a link?
A 75 year old man who was basically an invalid was visited by authorities for mouthing off online about Biden, saying things about killing him, geezer-a-geezer. Stupid, stupid shit. A few days later, an FBI wetworks team showed up, went inside to “investigate,” shots were fired, and the guy died. They took his body outside to rot in the sun before somebody finally called to say there was a corpse outside. There’s talk that the Feebs tossed the place after they killed him.
There’s talk that the Feebs tossed the place – Unc Bob
=========
1. What is a Feeb?
2. What does “tossed the place” mean? Perhaps, left the place in great disorder?
Q –
Feebs is FBI.
And yes, Tossed the place means ransacked/searched.
OMG.
I don’t know about you, but between arresting someone at a Pride parade for reading from the bible and this, if there is any doubt in anyone’s mind that we no longer live in a free country, this should dispell it.
tuc… Sadly, violence is the only thing that will make them see sense. I know that is often unpopular and unpleasant to contemplate, but “they” have played the long game for decades. Some say we need to catch up… but that is a fool’s errand. Best to harden your hearts and steel your souls. The fact is, we’ve got a fight coming… let’s win
..
All this brave talk in here about “a fight coming” will end after TPTB screw things up to the point that the big trucks stop running, the electric grid becomes unreliable, and food becomes unavailable. This can happen very quickly because the system we have in place all depends on a very vulnerable and high tech energy consuming system of interlocking machines and businesses that produce and deliver food. It all depends on those food factories and industrial farms having working business models. Once those models fail – we all die – simple as that. And the survivors will most assuredly be fighting and murdering each other over food. One story a now deceased relative enjoyed telling about WWII in Germany – about ow her next neighbor was killed duriing a robbery involving a sack of potatoes and some eggs. There won’t be a Marshall plan set up to bail us all out and feed us post catastrophe.
What “free country” have you been living until now?
All the threats against Trump when he was president were not acted upon by the SS or FBI.
I’m not usually one to ask for documentation, but I doubt that could be true.
All captured on video
Kathy Griffin olds up a picture of Trump’s severed head.

Robert Deniro,” I’m going to punch Trump in the face.”

And then Kathy Griffin goes on to complain and whine that she has lasting PTSD from the backlash from doing that.
This is what it’s come to.

“I even hesitate to leave comments here and on other conservative forums now, because I wonder when the knock comes to my door.” ~ Irish
Congratulations Irish, you’re on the road to self-censorship – just what they want, doing their work for them.
Continuing to exercise my First Amendment right, I say fuck them!
Go ahead, go quietly into the night.
I repeat. Fuck them! Over.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

“We didn’t love freedom enough.” ~ Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
In our collective subconscious, we probably already realize we are not free – hard to pinpoint when – but freedom has long since been lost in “the land of the free”. Maybe that has to do with the lack of fire in people’s hearts.
We still have – or think we have – too much to lose. They can take everything I have, but when they come for my family, they had better look the fuck out. Hell hath no fury…Security operatives will rue the day.
No, we have not seen how far they will go, although the extremes visited upon us during the lockdown phase gave us more than an inkling of their tactics.
““There is only one way to explain this shambles: Every one of these crises traces back to the Democratic Party’s obsession with taking and holding power more or less indefinitely to suit its hubristic, end-of-history “narrative” of righteous liberal triumph.” — Patrick Lawrence
I think what obviously happened to Seth Rich serves too as a guidepost to Dem party “limits,” if such that political assassination could and should be called.
Totally get what you’re saying, but if we get scared to speak our mind and share our opinion, they’ve won. We need to muster as much courage as possible at this time in history. I wonder what would have happened if those who signed our founding documents would have been too scared. They signed those documents even though many of the signers were threatened with death if they dared to. It’s scary to live at this point in history, but hopefully our courage will provide a chance (be it ever so slim) that our next few generations won’t have to live in a hard tyranny. I don’t have a death wish, but I’d rather be dead than to live in the hellscape that’s being pushed upon us. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to let this happen to my young family members without a fight in the infoscape. Again, I definitely get what you’re saying. Take heart and stay strong and courageous. There really are worse things than death.
“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech…”
I’m no lawyer but I can read. Yes, you can say whatever you like, but you can also be held responsible for the consequences of what you have said. Slander, fraud, conspiracy, extortion, even armed robbery; all these vile acts and more begin with the spoken word….”Stick ’em up or I’ll blow you away!” – speech.
As always, context is everything.
Do you have a point?
Yes, Trump can and, apparently, will be held legally responsible for the mayhem his lies have spawned…simple!
But nobody else will, or more realistically, nobody democrat will.
A political candidate’s or officeholder’s right to speak freely was the reason for the First Amendment.
The government may not censor political speech. Period.
Neither I nor the 1st Amendment is suggesting censorship. The justice department and the courts are not asking for censorship, merely legal accountability for real damages.
Nothing that Trump has said has ever been censored – he continues to spew fictious nonsense, even now when he is under numerous criminal indictments. Twitter and a few other outlets have banned him or at least tried to reign him in. But the 1st Amendment does not regulate what a private or corporate player must or must not publish. It restrains Congress – and NO other entity!
This is not complicated.
Well said, Gregg. The Communists (fake of course) use their Capitalist running dog lackeys to do their dirty work for them. It’s one System, heads and tails.
The courts are attempting to punish him for exercising his right to free speech.
This is not complicated.
Well said, Gregg. – Jar

What the hell is wrong with you? The commenter you are praising is named Greg Knepp. Greg ends with one g, not two.
Q likes John Bolton! Q likes Cookies Nuland! They both water their lawn and feed their pets.
Do you mean after he told the crowd to protest peacefully and patriotically? Don’t those words matter?
Of course not. Trump said it, so therefore it’s a threat or a lie — at least to fascist and communist revolutionaries.
Do not forget, Twitter censored the President shortly after that.
Oh, fuck. Another Democrat stooge.
Look, Junior, you bastatds have fomented insurrection against the federal government since at least the Nullification Crisis ca. 1830. You seceded in 1860-61, and you lost. Since then, you’ve done everything short of sending people to mass gas chambers (which actually has been suggested by Emory Thomas, and probably others) in order to steal control of our government and return us all to involuntary servitude a la the Old South and its predecessor, feudalism. You people lie, piss, moan, throw tantrums, murder cops and others, bribe and extort officials — in short, you’ll do anything to gain absolute power. And if it takes destroying Trump and all of his supporters in order to gain and retain power, you will do it — in fact, you’ve done it for as long as your racist piece of shit party has existed.
Hillary, John Kerry, and others say they lost fixed elections, and are lionized; Trump says it, and it’s the biggest lie ever told. Hypocrites, thugs, cheats, subversives, and liars– that’s all you fuckers are.
You think the Democrats believe the same things that they believed back during the Civil War. Hilarious.
As if rule by a landed White Aristocracy is the as rule by Bankers and Black lesbian mayors.
Don’t hold anything back, Uncle Bob. Tell us how you REALLY feel.
Oh what, Uncle? Now I have to post this again to square how history has been tapered to meet narrative.
My first philosophy professor was a PhD from the Sorbonne in Paris (also member of the French Underground fighting the occupying Germans). He never stopped inveighing against American’s self-exalting editing (re-writing essentially) of the issues that led to our Civil War, pointing out that Tolstoy in Russia — like all European noble folks who’d been “titled” land— was essentially no different from the US’s plantation owners in the period before our so called “War to End Slavery”.
For all of us students who’d read Upton Sinclair’s 1905 published novel “The Jungle”, he had to lead us to connect how Harriot Beecher Stow’s 1852 published “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was really a virtue signal (not his label) of its time that gave cover to the fact that in the industrializing north the land-dispossessed poor and uneducated flood of immigrants out of Europe suffered conditions often worse than what Negros suffered in the south because in the South (as characterized by Margarette Mitchell’s “Gone With the Wind” and Samuel Clemens’s writings) the 3-4 generations relationship between owner/slave families was commonly more similar to kindred, explaining why “chattel” were often better clothed, housed and fed than poor White’s off the plantation.
Tolstoy (who liked to dress up theatrically as proletariat to work in the fields with them), as with all of titled families in Europe, could expel commoners who’d occupied the acreage for centuries.
A century without plague resulted in swelled European population crowding into cities like described by Dickens in his 1847 book “A Christmas Carol” (the last paragraph of the book describes the transformed Scrooge “….as good a master as one could want”). In the 1938 British movie of JB Shaw’s 1913 play “Pygmalion” (Hollywood’s 1956 “My Fair Lady”) Liza Dolittle’s father addresses Dr. Higgins and Colonel Pickering as “Governor’s both”, acknowledging that his commoner lot in 20th Century England remained less than “equal”, though legally a “freed man”.
Sinclair’s book had more to do with actually ending conditions of slavery; eventuating legislation that ended child labor, legalization of labor unions, agencies to enforce workplace safety and, finally (not until the 1940s) enacting laws which criminalized companies hiring goons to brutalize striking workers. In other words, effecting legal balance against hegemonic economic, political and class power.
The book’s public impact compelled President Teddy Roosevelt’s administration to nudge forward the four decades legal slog toward true worker class emancipation.
Emphatically, a clarion rebuke to Lincoln’s meretricious excuse for invading and destroying the South’s agricultural culture, an atrocity carried out with an army of which a great proportion comprised newly arrived European poor who’d been lured {recruited} by issue of desperately needed clothes (uniform) and avoidance of starvation. If Lincoln hadn’t opted for war to prevent the South’s secession there’d likely be no Lincoln Memorial.
Stowe’s book was written and first published in her hometown of Cincinnati, terminus of the “underground railroad”. A little understanding of how the owner/manager class of the industrializing North was using the flood of Negros from the South to break unionizing efforts lends understanding of why two of the largest pre-Civil War riots against the “Road to Freedom” occurred in Cincinnati.
The expression “Wage Slave” is credited to the American writer and associate of Sinclair, Jack London, but in actuality it was coined by Southern Plantation owners pre-Civil War, horrified in witness to the horrible working conditions that Sinclair was decrying in the next century.
As history repeatedly shows, selective strands pulled from the dense fabric of history allow demagogues to build a “narrative” justifying concentration of power. The French and Russian revolutions most particularly illustrate how the wobble can stabilize to extreme of “left” or “right” — even alternatively if history’s lessons aren’t headed or get “Cancelled”.
Speaking of beliefs and the civil war, I think this tweet illustrates some of what we are up against:
Asked a young person (16 yr old American born and raised), why we celebrate July 4th and they didn’t know. They asked, ‘Does it have to do with like the Civil War or something?’

And besides all that Bob, Trump is a big poopy head.

Also, Harriot s/b Harriet
Thank you. Democrats live in an alternate reality where their views are the only acceptable one along with their incredibly distorted version of history.
The latest version of them may be the worst, as they support the genital mutilation of children, sexual exploitation of children, open borders, and the complete destruction of western civilization.
Thanks, Shtik, but damn, my grade point just dropped.
Noteworthy from Cavepainter
” …. an atrocity carried out with an army of which a great proportion comprised newly arrived European poor who’d been lured {recruited} by issue of desperately needed clothes (uniform) and avoidance of starvation.”
Just throw in again earned citizenship for military service and today’s southern border crossers for ‘European poor’ and voila— history repeats—and soon enough, I’ll forecast.

Great rant, Bob!
Cavepainter, please don’t try to patronize me with patently obvious things such as historical revisionism. Wooo, the cause if the Civil War was oversimplified for political reasons. No shit.
You had a prof who went to the Sorbonne. Congratulations. That and eight devalued dollars will get you a Starbucks coffee.
To state the obvious to you and the occasionally sentient Jarek, my post was about the hypocritical, lying adherents of the Party of Evil and their never-ending efforts to fundamentally transform America from a land of opportunity into the land of the freaks and the home of slaves, whether via actual pre-1865 slavery, welfare, or what have you. Don’t like my opinion? Too damn bad. BTW, the GOP is barely better than the Dems; if you’re lucky, maybe someday I’ll go off on the Party of Stupidity, but not today.
What lies? And, who decides what’s a lie?
It’s against which federal statute to “cause mayhem with lies,” exactly?
I would appreciate chapter and verse.
gee, thanks for chiming in, Greg. But remember- it’s he who fucks last, in the game of “fuckfuck”
You shouldn’t have to be a lawyer to understand what free speech is.
Your problem is that you listen to msm and think that giving a speech about the stolen election is illegal because some people were rioting a mile away WHILE the speech was going on.
That makes no sense at all. Maybe your lack of reading comprehension goes along with a lack of temporal or causal effects.
I leave this two minutes of hate speech for you to watch and ponder.

Culture is upstream of politics. The Left gleefully recites how you can say anything you like – and how you will be cancelled for doing so.
They won the Culture War after all. The Capitalists will fire people at their behest.
And Cult is upstream of Culture…..
You probably wouldn’t recognize the First Amendment is you saw it. You certainly don’t understand it or the concept of “federalism,” having state governments and a federal government. The First Amendment states, “Congress (where all law making power resides) shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech . . . .” The federal government cannot make a law in certain areas, among them speech. The Espionage Act is such a law and is, therefore, unconstitutional
But the First Amendment says nothing about States. Defamation laws, for example, are state laws. They don’t violate the First Amendment. States are perfectly capable of handling speech issues. We don’t need or desire the federal government to make any laws regarding speech.
And the Deep State always supplies the “context”
The easiest way to solve a problem is to deny that it exists. I. Asimov
I knew it was going to be good today, the instant I saw the title.
Neither Matt Gaetz or RFK, Jr. are coming to save us. We don’t have rule of law any longer, and I’m wondering why that seems to be so hard for people to understand. I always appreciate Jim’s optimism, but at this point, what we are going to deal with in the near future is another sudden lockdown using the threat of climate change as justification, with new health care dictats thrown in to scare people into them.
Those very real threats are not being opposed by RFK, Jr. or Trump, or this new up-and-coming Indian Republican who was groomed in the WEF.
It’s going to have to come from us, when we finally decide no more of this bullshit. But people don’t want to do that, we want to instead enjoy the last days of our disappearing luxuries and focus on holding on to what we have – at least those in the know.
Those not in the know are busy being infantilized to the nth degree, distracting themselves with porn, Barbie movies, drugs & alcohol, identifying as a queer while posting endless selfies of themselves using filters to make them look like the movie stars, their minds completely taken over by the wokie indoctrination of the past 50 years.
There is no subpoena that will be followed. Do we forget what happened when Turd Blossom was subpoenaed? He just threw it in the trash. That’s how it works. Who’s going to remove Garland when he does the same?
Well stated, MQ.
The real person at fault is Joe Average American who has turned into a socialistic gimme nebbish that has lost its mind.
How can anyone keep electing people whose main doctrine is the destruction of Constitutional America? Insanity unto treason.
No one is going to get removed by anybody. The vote is cancelled by corruption, and the Deep State Uniparty corrupts any sort of opposition to the Liberal policies. Impeachment is a political joke.
Optimism is dead. To have any form of optimism, you must have hope and faith in the future. One of the main objectives of the DNC is the destruction of hope in American republicanism, known as MAGA. Faith is the future based on God is hard as God is not “on the side” of a nation of perverts.
Why does everyone refer to the “Z” impeachment as Impeachment number one, as I recall, Impeachment number one was the Mueller Russia, Russia, Russia fiasco and “Z” was a 2019 late prelude to Covid, impeachment two.
So,JAZ, how would you get the masses to face reality before everything breaks down? Just asking.
IMHO, you cannot except by allowing the uniparty state fail.
Very painful, and undetermined what comes next.
No John, Mueller was not an impeachment.
Impeachment Number One was the UKraine one, in which Congress spent weeks pontificating without once mentioning just why it was so evil to hold up millions of dollars of weapons to Ukarine.
Why did Ukraine need so many weapons? Who were they Killing?
How do you hold an impeachment without ever mentioning that the Kiev regime was killing its own people in Donbass?
Damn! We live in a controlled society.
Impeachment Number Two was after Trump had already left office, which was equally stupid, because impeachment is a way to remove people from office, period.
We live in an idiot society, which is why they can get away with such idiocy.
There are reports that weapons we’ve sent to Z are turning up in the Middle East and Africa. Wait. I thought they need money and weapons because they’re fighting for their lives? And Biden wants to give them another $24+Bn gift basket?
Way back in 2015 or 2016, before the censorship of social media started, I saw a hilarious video on YouTube.
It was ISIS opening a shipment of arms from Ukraine, but the weapons were defective.
I don’t speak Arabic, but you didn’t need to speak Arabic to see how furious they were. I think they might have been cursing.
I don’t know about weapons either, but my ex-Marine friend said that the guns were missing a part.
He thought the video was pretty funny also.
You can’t find it now, of course. The Democrats hauled the social media executives in front of Congress and openly threatened them, back in 2017.
Now the censorship is overwhelming.
But anyway, Ukraine was already selling the weapons Obama sent them, way back then.
Hell, one of the Mexican border drug cartels was spotted with a Javelin anti-tank missile just a few months back.
What does impeach even mean? To censor? It certainly doesn’t mean anything serious any more if it ever did.
It sounds like it means to throw out of office, but evidently not.
It must be another word that the definition of has been changed, without us knowing.
I saw someone saying that we are going to have to change the definition of sanctuary as well, Mayor Adams has been complaining so much about all the problems cause by the sanctuary he gave so many illegal aliens.
“Censor: To officially examine and suppress any parts of a written or artistic work that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.”
This is the dictionary definition. It has NOT changed, and, under this definition, nothing that Trump has ever said or written has been censored by any government entity.
senate.gov
Impeachment
If a federal official commits a crime or otherwise acts improperly, the House of Representatives may impeach—formally charge—that official. If the official subsequently is convicted in a Senate impeachment trial, he is removed from office.
Jarek: Seems like the last part has been deleted and it just means censor at this point. Removing someone from office is scary for them because they could be next.
“to prevent part or the whole of a book, film, work of art, document, or other kind of communication from being seen or made available to the public, because it is considered to be offensive or harmful, or because it contains information that someone wishes to keep secret, often for political reasons:
The book was heavily censored when first published.
Is it possible to censor the internet?”
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/censor
We were talking about the word “impeach”, but Greg jumped tracks and Beryl prefers this track, apparently.
you were talking about the meaning of words, and you said “censorship”, Jarek.
Which is what I talked about too.
No I was talking about the word, “impeach” and questioned whether it only meant to censor. According to the link I found, my fears were right on target.
I wasn’t talking about “censorship” per se, though of course that is a worthy subject in itself.
“Jarek: Seems like the last part has been deleted and it just means censor at this point. ”
We were talking about impeachment, AND censorship, AND the changing definition of words.
At least I thought we were.
I was talking about impeachment and how it now only seemed to mean to censure – and this is the word I should have used all along (sorry), as in to reprimand. So the fault is partly mine.
In any case, I was right. Indeed “impeach” used to mean the House putting the person on trial and if found guilty, REMOVING them.
Jarek, an impeachment is essentially the same thing as an indictment, but it’s done in the political arena rather than the criminal courts. Someone who’s convicted after being impeached is removed from office, and no longer enjoys the power and advantages derived from housing an officeholder. A censure is a lesser punishment, sort of like having a negative report put in your permanent employment record.
Yes, impeach has been collapsed into censure since no one is put on trial anymore and then removed.
MSM is still stonewalling as much as possible the overwhelming evidence of Biden’s involvement in grift. If he’s actually impeached, the news will be spun as a payback for Trump’s impeachment and not as real evidence of selling out. And just like Trump, the trial would be in the Senate and Biden wouldn’t be removed. Biden is here to stay until the drugs no longer work.
Remember how it was widely expected the Republicans were going to have sweeping majorities in the House in the 2022 elections? They barely have a majority.
Another lockdown is in the works but will be much harder to enforce after the exposure of all the lies told during the pandemic. People will be harder to convince that it’s an international emergency. What does worry me (sorry to sound like a drama queen) is another lab virus released that targets the young and healthy, like the Spanish flu of 1918.
We really need to stop referring to them as “media” at all.
It is state propoganda.
Greenwald’s recent “System Update” podcast included an interview with a Hollywood type. He provided examples of how even mainstream films are often vetted and approved by the “deep state”, even influencing a recent Gozilla film where they objected over a Japanese Hiroshima survivor lamenting the dead.
The intelligence agencies, the FBI, the MIC, the pentagon have their tentacles in every medium you consume from TV to film to newspapers to social media.
We can’t believe that people in China are shielded from “news” of the world when we are oblivious to the state “curated” information bombarding us day-in and day-out.
Yes, media (culture!) is upstream of politics. What they say is the narrative, what passes as truth.
When the Koreans were outraged by a Hollywood comedy about assassinating Kim, they had every right to be.
Good point. I hate referring to them as media, as they really ARE the deep state’s propaganda mouthpieces. We should refer to them as such.
We’re under a “State of Emergency” here in MA. Marshall Law, National Guard in the street, curfews, etc. All because we invited a bunch of illegals in and they actually showed up for the party. We’re being asked to welcome them into our homes because our asshole Governor has nowhere to put them. Being an empty-nester I have lots of space. I’m looking to get a cute 21 YO housekeeper/cook and a couple strong backed grunts for painting, roofing, and concrete work. They’ll work for a bed and a sandwich I guess.
Makes a lot of sense, ste. Could you see if the housekeeper has a slightly older sister?
I’d ask, too, but my wife might object.
I’m picturing Costanza with the office cleaning lady
“Next thing I knew she was mopping the floor with me!”
Be careful, they might send you a 30 year old guy who identifies as a girl.
It will be fine and dandy until one of them shivs you in your sleep and steals your stuff.
“Biden is here to stay until the drugs no longer work.”
——-
LOL! Sad but true!
If any kind of resistance is futile, all that’s left is self-implosion and a long, slow burnout of the wickedry. We come full circle back to JHK
Spot on, Mary. There are no solutions coming from DC. Only more trouble and strife.
RFK Jr. agrees with, even promulgates the lie that “the earth is on fire, and we’re all going to die soon.”
He thinks we can solve it through the free markets now.
I have heard it said that professional salesmen are often the ones who get the lousiest deals on buying a new car.
I don’t know why a conspiracy theorist like RFK doesn’t see right through that climate scam.
He knows.
Yup.
“what we are going to deal with in the near future is another sudden lockdown using the threat of climate change as justification, with new health care dictates thrown in to scare people into them.”
Yep. Covid set the precedent. You must injure your own body — diminish your oxygen with masks, deprive yourself of fresh air and sunshine and needed social interaction, and take an experimental genetic injection — all “for the good of others.”
Well, “climate change” comes from “too many people on the earth.” Therefore — “FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS” — you will be required to comply with contraception, abortion, and sterilization MANDATES. And just as with the Covid “vaccines,” you will be required to show a certification of this compliance in order to have a job, bank account, and access to medical care, educational institutions, public venues, etc.
The people behind the Covid op — Gates, Soros, Schwab, et al. — are all “climate change” fanatics. And they are all OBSESSED with “overpopulation,” as seen in their writings and speeches over a span of DECADES.
So it’s obvious what the next phase of their plan is. But am I the only person to whom this is obvious?
No, lots of us can see it quite clearly.
They have already started conflating “covid” (pandemics in general) with climate change.
I actually remember when they started that! Way before the Covid Hoax. There were many stories about how as the world “thawed” where it shouldn’t, all these scary viruses were going to escape and kill us. Anyone else remember that?
I do believe that was the first test, to see what we’d buy. It didn’t get that far, apparently.
I remember that. I have friends who fell for it.
I tried to tell them that viruses need living hosts, and if a Neanderthals thaws, there is no more chance of the virus that killed it coming back to life than there is the Neanderthal coming back to life.
True Believers don’t believe that. Plus, it isn’t just human viruses they think will get them, it’s any generic virus that happened to be around back then. Dumb as rocks, they are.
On the other hand, the US did dig up a victim of the 1918 flu, and replicate that virus.
For defense reasons, of course. Why would anyone think otherwise?
Yeah, they had a good number with which to work, permafrost is an excellent medium. Interesting coincidence that their chosen corpses were in the general area of where Oppenheimer and the other “Firecracker Boys” wanted to dredge out a new major harbor on Alaska’s NW coast. Using nukes.
LOL, that is hilarious. Not the 1918 replication (which I’m not sure I buy either) but the Neanderthal viruses.
Hilarious.
Actually it was Edward Teller who wanted to do “Project Chariot.”
“Alaskan political leaders, newspaper editors, the state university’s president, even church groups all rallied in support of the massive detonation. Congress had passed the Alaska Statehood Act just a few weeks before. An editorial in the July 24, 1960 Fairbanks News-Miner said, “We think the holding of a huge nuclear blast in Alaska would be a fitting overture to the new era which is opening for our state.”
httpx://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Chariot
Oh, I think lots of people see that “climate change” lockdowns are coming soon. Where I generally lose people is when I point out that just as we were mandated to get masked and injected “for the common good,” we will be MANDATED to be contracepted, aborted, and sterilized “for the common good.”
People tune me out on this last point because “it can’t happen here.” But the last three years have shown us just how quickly people will roll over and mutilate their own bodies and those of their children when government authorities touting “the science” tell them to. “For the good of others,” of course.
My point is that a line was crossed, a precedent was set, with Covid: the idea that you do NOT have a right to personal bodily autonomy, that you are no longer sovereign over your own person, that the government has the right to FORCE you to harm yourself, all for the sake of dealing with some “emergency” as defined by that government.
I think that the GMO injectables are a form of birth control.
Supposedly, births are down.
All things considered, we’re not too far off from Pol Pot/Khmer Rouge’s “Year Zero.” Pretty much expecting it.
Yes, we no longer have a right to protect our own bodies from forceable injections, etc. Think about it though, we haven’t for what, 70 years? When did mandatory vaccines begin?
We now know that the ones they give children actually harm them and that kids are supposed to get stuff like chicken pox and mumps to help build their immune systems. We used to know that in the 1960s, but now most believe that a shot keeps you from ever being sick from anything.
Utter madness.
Nobody is coming to save anybody.
” Impeaching Mr. Garland would surely have a salutary influence on America’s current troubled mental state. And it would be a grand prelude to the more consequential impeachment of “Joe Biden” for selling out his country, a kind of political electroshock therapy for the Democratic Party, leaving them finally clear-headed enough to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in the coming election of 2024.”
The ENTIRE system of government (democratic republic) in this joint has reached a TERMINAL condition. 247 years ago, the “republic” was birthed by the BLOOD and GUTS of MEN who determined it was preferable to “Live Free or Die”.
250 years is about the “average” time any type of government can survive, due to the incessant corruption which builds to a crescendo and then explodes. The corruption runs deep and wide, like a malignancy that has spread to EVERY level of this “society”.
This time, as ALWAYS, the RICHEST and MOST POWERFUL are, like VULTURES, circling overhead, and waiting for their WEAK prey to fall to its knees…..whereupon…..
YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY
(or else).
That RFK, Jr. has already (without being pressed) announced his allegiance to Israel/zionists is being completely ignored by his supporters. I didn’t realize how many of them are AIPAC supporters.
Oh. I guess that takes care of Jr. as any kind of an answer.
His climate alarmism and outspoken desire to terminate anyone who disagrees with his environmental extremism took care of that for me.
Did you see all the news about the Memphis Hebrew School shooting?
Of course you didn’t.
It can’t help their cause. He wasn’t white, anti-semitic, a MAGA, nationalist supremacist.
Nope. He is Jewish, a former student. Pissed off and violent.
He can’t help the cause, and the media can’t go anywhere with the story.
Now imagine if he were not. Holy hell! We’d be hearing about all sorts of -cisms, -isms, Trump, guns, reublicans… etc, etc.
What does this have to do with RFK: media exposure and $. If you don’t come out with them you are against them and you get no press and you get no dough.
Make no mistake. This isn’t a charge on an entire swath of people, but it is a charge on a subset who wield unprecedented control.
What’s happening in Israel? Have they lost the freedom of the Judges? The story was abruptly dropped.
I think Bibi won, so that ended the rancor for now.
I am aware of that & why RFK, Jr. is just as beholden to them as any other politician at a high level, as was Trump.

The whole “war” in Ukraine was frantically cobbed together to cover up all the illegal bio-labs, opium smuggling and sex-trafficking, followed by the obvious kickbacks hoovered up by the multiple congress people that swept through for photo ops with that dwarf comedian/gay disco dancer after arranging BILLIONS in aid.
Can we please see the flight records where those congressional planes stopped off in Switzerland on the way back to US?
There must have been a blurb in the Variety magazine classified section: Biz op for faded A-listers! Appear in Ukraine and shake hands with puppet for $1M!
This is just the same Viet Nam racket on steroids.
This need to hide the many types of shenanigans that were ongoing in the Ukraine.is surely a factor in the USA’s refusal to negotiate with Putin/RF in Dec. 2021 regarding a security structure and instead leaving him basically no choice but to start the SMO.
Russians discovering the biolabs is kind of like the Red Army being the first to see Auschwitz.
Shenanigans list:
##Biolabs
##Nazi ideology –>> genocide of Russian speakers
##Biden family grift
##Other US politicos’ grfit
##Zelensky grift
##Zelensky status as MI6 agent
##Sale of Ukr agricultural lands to international agribusiness
Oh, yeah, plus
##Threat to deploy nukes in Ukr
##Plan to take over Russian Black Sea navy base
##Ukraine’s gas grift against Russia
##Gleichschaltung of the real Orthodox church—its monks and monasteries and assets—via creation of new state church.
Let’s not forget the high-stakes organ trafficking that now piggybacks onto the sex trade. The new millennium brothels have sterile rooms with medical teams on call for “accidental” death of sex worker during extreme sex play. When opportunity knocks, owners can make $1M in one event instead of thousands over years. The john pays extra for extreme option and freshly “donated” organs bring big money.
As long as we can’t believe this possibly goes on, the longer it will go on. Welcome to reality.
I hadn’t heard about the brothels organ harvesting. That is disgusting.
Is that why porn is now so violent? To condition the men to want to strangle the women?
I do have a link that talks about the organ harvesting in Ukraine.
I saw a msm article about the frontline medics. One of them said that their job was to stabilize the wounded long enough to get them to Kiev.
That made me very suspicious, especially after they found those dead bodies with the torsos ripped open in the abandoned mine in Poland.
But the medics probably didn’t hear about that, or the woman known to traffic organs from the Serbs in Kosovo showing up in Kiev after Russia entered the war.

Miss Demeanor and Paula D.
Thanks for the information.
Miss D:
I suspected I was forgetting something.
Ugh. .
I actually did you a favor and didn’t tell you the optimum age bracket of the “donors”.
Miss D:
I suspect children and preteens.
I would guess teenaged or slightly older.
There isn’t as much demand for child organs as there is adult.
Not much point in putting a child’s heart into an adult man, for instance.
(Looking at Dick Cheney here. I think he uses adult-sized hearts and just kills the children for sport.)
I really do think that the demonic spell that has been cast over the whole world is at its most intense, as if in some kind of ultra-concentrated form, in the hellhole known as Ukraine.
God help any remaining non-possessed Ukrainian people, and God bless the Russian armed forces.
It’s because they know their time is growing short to accomplish their mission of a one-world order or whatever name you want to give it. JHK calls it the blob. What tells them their time is growing short? “When you see these things begin to happen, look up, for your redemption draweth nigh,” passage in the bible, I believe it’s Matthew, where Jesus describes the geopolitical and physical changes taking place now. They know scripture, too. Difference between them and most of the lemmings is they believe it.
“Can we please see the flight records where those congressional planes stopped off in Switzerland on the way back to US?”
Thank you!
Trump – Pres
Kennedy Jr. – Health & Human Services
DeSantis – Attorney General
Ramaswamy – Sec. State
Gabbard – Sec Def
??? – VP
VP Nikki Haley
Trump plus Nikki produced the best foreign policy in decades, since Nixon.
America First, then try to help others.
Haley?
She’s a “team” player. The team being the MIC.
Trump should pick Lake or Gaetz.
Mike Flynn for V.P.
Nimarata Randhawa? She’s as deep state as Cocaine Mitch…
In the unlikely even that Trump gets to fill more government positions, he needs to leave most posts unfilled, then have a convention that consists of all the members of the John Birch Society, Council of Conservative Citizens, Firearm Owners Against Crime, Rockford Institute, League of the South, etc. Find every fringe, right-wing group you can and fill these positions with the most vindictive, unhinged people you can find. Give them carte blanche to destroy every edifice of clusterfuckery they find.
One shudders to think of who Trump will pick next time if there is one. More “big guys” or swamp monsters. That’s all he knows.
Will he get Jared to help him again? It’s expecting too much for him to humble himself and ask Steven Bannon for help.
Pat Buchanan is probably too old, but he is the common link between all of the groups I mentioned and insider Washington. He might be the only link since Sam Francis died.
One shudders to think of who Trump will pick next time – Jar
===========
Bolton for VP 🙂
Ron Paul to head and then end the fed.
Yes. Trump, humbled by all that has happened to him, meets in the oval office after re-election. Seated next to him are: Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul, Thomas Fleming, Peter Brimelow, Lew Rockwell, and E. Michael Jones
Lake and Gaetz would sink him faster than a paper boat in the North Atlantic. His best options are Haley or RFK Jr., even though I dislike and mistrust both of them.
Gregor Gregorious
Haley?
Spinnst Du?
Trump made her a star. She turned around and stabbed him in the back.
If Trump gets elected (he won’t, the DS will see to that), here’s my picks going on his previous record:
VP: Lindsey Graham
Sec of State: John Bolton
Health: Rachel Walensky
AG: Bill Barr
Bolton and Barr already served their time in the barrel, and wont be recycled.
No probs, Uncle, there are plenty of other Deep Staters for him to choose.
Meanwhile, President Biden requests another $24 billion from Congress in “Aid for Ukraine.” Apparently this would be for more weaponry & ordinance, as well as repairing civilian infrastructure. This at a critical time when the true situation on the eastern front is being revealed, which is the Spring Counteroffensive has failed miserably and Ukraine is on its last legs. An ecological & human disaster is unfolding in southern & eastern Ukraine, and it is being bankrolled by the United States.
As I mentioned above, materiel the Ukrainians “desperately” needed is turning up in Africa and the Middle East. If so, who is it who really needed the weapons and ammunition; who sold it on the black market; and will there be any fallout beyond what could eventually from somebody lighting off a nuke?
Speaking of mental illness, this is a quote I came across, on the trans movement-
“No idea how people still don’t see how this is a perverted men’s rights movement.”
https://twitter.com/TheRealPocus/status/1686091112732086273?s=20
Many of us did, and warned what was going on. I think I began talking about it on social media around 2016 or so.
How anyone can miss that it’s a men’s rights movement is beyond me. Same goals, basically, just different methods than the MRAs.
J.K. Rowling pointed out very early on that the trans movement was to some extent motivated by a drive to roll back the genuine achievements of the second wave of feminism.
And that was the effect that it was having: To put women back in their place and to speak for them and tell them what’s what. By pretending to be women.
Some might call this a men’s rights movement. Not sure that is really the best term.
Transwomen do seem to have a lot of hostility toward real women. I don’t get the sense that transmen feel the same hostility toward real men. Or, it doesn’t seem to come to light in the same way as transwomen’s hostility and power drive.
Which makes sense, because of course transwomen are actually men, with a lot of testosterone sloshing around their brains. The fake testosterone in transmen’s bodies might not affect their brains much.
Yes, there has been a lot of Transplaining gifted to women recently.
There has been a story in the news about a young man who wanted to get into a prestigious school (NTSU) in Norway, and since they were, like many technical schools, prioritizing female applicants, he filled out the paperwork necessary to identify as a trans woman so he could get a (third) leg up on the competition.
I have seen a lot of this type of thing here in the US, various tech types have been giving very generous donations to universities’ science departments, especially to try to get more women into those field.
It occurs to me, how very strange it is, the people who push for women over men in science, are the very same people who are pushing the right of men to claim they are women and invade women’s spaces.
They give women something with one hand, and take it away with the other.
Norway has very liberal laws about “gender”.
” the people who push for women over men in science, ”
And this in the field of science.
Why don’t they offer these scholarships in the arts, to encourage men to major in the arts?
As for “science,” this is the social science of propaganda and social engineering.
The genuinely talented and motivated women students don’t need extra pushing to go into the sciences.
BTW, my Moscow friend reports that his son passed the exams for the advanced maths departments at both Moscow University and the new Sirius University of Science and Technology in Sochi, founded by Putin.
Why do I have a gnawing suspicion that this young man is well ahead of his American contemporaries who are math majors?
httpX://siriusuniversity.ru/
Congratulations to the young man. It’s good to know that there are places on Earth where scholarship is still taken seriously.
One question for the Trinamic trio of Women’s rights.
Any individual who Ids as a M to F trans is no man in the first place. I would label “him” as a coward who cannot face his male competition in sports or any other way.
Think about the kids, they have very little idea of what M or F means, what it feels like before the parasites in the education field are trying to force them into sexual molds.
LBGTQ folks that are identified should not have access to kids at all, society should not allow indoctrinated perversion.
As someone else has said:
“The problem isn’t between your legs, it’s between your ears”.
When one sex wins, both sexes lose. Enabled by the Deep State, women triumphed over men to a fantastic degree. So beaten down young men, raised by embittered single mothers and “teachers”, embraced the ethos of “If you can’t beat them, join them.”
If masculinity is toxic as Feminism teaches, then cease to be masculine, cease to be a man.
How anyone can not see this is beyond me. One must question the motives of people who don’t. How do they benefit from not seeing? Perhaps intending to maintain the Feminist status quo which caused the damage in the first place?
And to trump their Triumph, the Deep State has managed to make girls feel inferior to men at the same time, thus creating a counter wave of f to m transexualism – as if to fill in the gap.
There is a thread here by Eugyippius, it started out as a critique of the Tate brothers, and also of Tucker for putting them on his show for ratings.
It goes on to talk about young men and role models.
Everything about this muscle goblin is repulsive, from the way he earns a living to the scam he makes out of it. Are men these days really that desperate for a somewhat classic role model?
https://twitter.com/Bartzissey/status/1688603492536012800?s=20
I have posted about Tate before. The main reason he is even a thing is, IMO, not that he is a good example, but that he’s the only one saying these things.
y and they look in the wrong place
https://twitter.com/dusk_ember/status/1688616845832761350?s=20
Why does Tate live in Romania and has been caught trying to traffic women? Hmmm.
Yeah that anyone is holding him up as anything good is troublesome. He’s just your run of the mill money-grubbing POS.
You’re either for free speech or not.
It doesn’t matter if he’s obnoxious
Of course he’s a cocky muscle head he was a kickboxer
They have nothing on him. If they did he would be locked up.
Let’s just call it whet it is, the NATO World Order wants him locked up because they believe he is inspiration to the “incels” a labeled terrorist group and has an enormous following beyond them .He questions the gender acronym mafia, flat-climate society, the plandemic….
They want him silenced because the world over, he is followed by teen boys to sexually frustrated young adult men.
You know the “military aged”
The problem is single mothers and crazy female teachers.
Tate is the obnoxious, opposite extreme, watching him is a desperate attempt to save themselves on the part of the oppressed boys and young me.
Oh Jarek. You were so close.
Tate’s probably another one of his heroes. It would make sense, Tate hating women probably even more than Jarek does, and all.
Does he hate women?
He definitely has a macho-man’s idea of what his ideal woman’s role should be. He is definitely offputting with his peacockery and ready-born hero to the damsel in distress persona, but his obsession with women, ironically, drives his entire shtick.
I can tell you, anecdotally, having lived many years among bourgeoise, nouveau-riche, and their trophy-wives, there are plenty of women very happy with this arrangement. Now, it’s not expressed in such blunt and strict terms, but the arrangement is understood. Completely.
I make $
You use my $ to stay home and look good
You looking good makes me look powerful.
Deal?
Yeeeeahhh Edge, you probably should look up some of Tate’s “work,” before opining.
What color is your Bugatti?
I feel people are looking far too deep into the Tate phenomenon.
At its most basic, Tate represents these things:
-pugilism
-fitness
-sports cars
-a smoke
-a drink
-hot women
-hustlin’ for a buck
-owning your actions
-superficial machismo
That’s it.
Now let’s appreciate how truly benign his message is.
He is in essence, nothing more than a throwback to maculinity of the 50’s-80’s era.
There is nothing game-changing about what he’s doing.
This is what makes the entire situation absurd.
His effrontery to the new paradigm is his advocation of the past. Specifically, past benchmarks of masculinity and male behavior.
His glorification of the “Alpha”
Men today are made to feel ashamed if they hold, express, or explore similar sentiments.
Today’s man, at least the version proposed by the left, must be a simp or a nuch. He shall hold no traitional male desires, roles, or aspirations.
Due to his mixed-race background, his belief structure also echoes long-standing gender roles of the pre 60’s black community (before LBJ destroyed the black family).
-support my woman
-that’s a man’s job
These are sentiments that the left wishes to banish. Particularly in the black community. They really don’t want Tate influencing young brothers that’s for sure.
The reason why Tate is a thing is because he’s a dinosaur. Soon to be extinct.
The reason why Tate is a thing – Edge Lord
=========
Tate is not a household name for me. What is his first name so I can google him?
Yes Q…. that gave me James Bond vibes….
Andrew Tate
His father was an American chess grandmaster and his mother is English
He trolled Greta Thunberg from the flat-climate society and was immediately thrown into a Slavic gulag
No that’s not it. There is active hatred of women and also trafficking of same.
Plus he’s a moron.
And he’s not a dinosaur, he’s one of the millions of YouTube/TIkTOk stars who got there because they are audacious narcissists who spew shocking “truths” which is all the rage nowadays. One does wonder why he made it to such high status. I’m guessing he has a lot of shadow backers.
Lots of people trolled Greta Thunberg, he was not thrown into a gulag for it.
I said he was obnoxious, didn’t I? But he is the strong medicine these poor young men need.
And yes, he boasted about how he get away with a lot of shit in Romania. That doesn’t sound very good.
He is obnoxious through today’s lens.
These people were everywhere only a few decades ago.
What did he get away with Romania, specifically?
I am not supporting him, or doubting you, I am curious as I cannot find specific examples that are not related to the trumped-up charges against him.
Young men need to hate women and traffick them?
OK then, Jar.
I’m not surprised you’d think that.
Here’s the dude you guys are all in a bromance with – lol.
Color me unsurprised.
Andrew Tate, influencer facing rape and trafficking charges in Romania, released from house arrest
“Bucharest, Romania — Andrew Tate, the divisive internet influencer who is charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, won an appeal on Friday to be released from house arrest and will instead be put under judicial control measures, his spokesperson said.
The Reuters news agency quoted a written ruling by the Bucharest Court of Appeals as saying that it “replaces the house arrest measure with that of judicial control for a period of 60 days from August 4 until October 2.”
The exact restrictions that Tate will face were not immediately made public, and the investigation into his alleged crimes continued.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andrew-tate-house-arrest-dropped-romania-rape-human-trafficking-case/
I also saw some videos of his former “work” where he brags about raping women, giving step by step instructions.
It’s a shame you both think that’s how the modern man should behave, but not all that surprising, esp. for Jarek.
@jar: The problem is also lack of responsible fathers.
The problem is, even those who consider themselves brainiacs and comment here, don’t research anyone before they hold them up as idols to be worshipped and emulated.
The Atlantic was right about one thing, when they called RFK Jr.’s campaign a protest movement.
I fear Bobby is getting a little too caught up in the kumbaya stuff lately though, he’s getting worse with the ‘coming together and healing the divide’ stuff.
I have no desire for rapprochement with any of these people; people who picked a fight with me because someone bigger told them they could.
I want a president who will do his job and uphold the Constitution.
I’m sure I can find a tent revival somewhere, on a hot August night, if I want preaching.
I just want to find a government (anywhere) that does their job – public service. All gov’t positions should be viewed as civil servants. Not an open opportunity to grift.
Yeah, I am not interested in “healing divides.”
Frankly, I just want a return to civics in the USA. Honest elections. That would be the big healer, in both senses of the word: healing divisions and bringing (some) people to their senses.
They are beyond saving, life is too short, and I don’t give a shit!
“Healing” ensues when a body eats a healthy diet, exercises regularly, etc. The USA needs a healthy diet of truth and consequence.
“I have no desire for rapprochement with any of these people; people who picked a fight with me because someone bigger told them they could.”
Yes. In the unlikely event that the actual citizens regain some sort of civic power, we certainly don’t need to bury the hatchet or “heal old wounds.” We would need a leader who would stand down and allow said citizens to systematically document and run through the bad actors of the past two decades. From the top tech, media, corporate, government oligarchs who declared war on the people down to the lowliest hipster foot soldiers who were and are paid to mock average middle-class Americans on social media. Let the lamppost be our beacon!
Violence, though emotionally satisfying is not the solution.
Hahaha. Who said anything about violence?
Good one, Bill. You’re a trip. If we could just explain to these people, the error of their ways, I’m sure they could be persuaded to act in good faith.
“Let the lamppost be our beacon”. That doesn’t imply violence? Really?
I never said people can be persuaded to act in good faith
Aren’t lampposts beacons of light? Why else do they exist?
You strike me as a naïve old Boomer who is probably a bit guilty about all of the harm your foolish generation wrought on this country and the world.
If they can’t be persuaded to act in good faith, what are the other options?
RD3, there are no ‘generations’ responsible for the state of the world.
There are ruling families and the global cabal they have put in place over the last century, or arguably, centuries.
Don’t buy their propaganda.
“Healing” started to get a bad rep (and became basically useless as an idea) when Obama used it as an excuse to ignore the crimes of Bush administration.
How convenient that he set the bar so low, or so high—depending on how you look at it—for actually championing truth and justice.
Obama normalized the idea of “moving on” and not dwelling on the “negative” . . .
Now that I think about it, I reckon that was always part of the Obama package, part of the deal his packagers put together.
Of course it was probably the same deal for candidate Hillary. But maybe not . . .???
Wasn’t it a black man who coined the mantra “No peace without justice”?
What the hell happened to that?
I think it is supposed to be:
No justice,
No peace!
And if he’s not going to address the cause of the rifts and divisions in society, no amount of “come together” preachiness is going to do anything but virtue signal.
“Bring us together” “Heal the divide” “Reach across the aisle” — the only candidate I can tell who understands these are empty slogans is DeSantis. He understands you can not bargain with zealots and they do not want cooperation or compromise, they want capitulation.
That’s why the hysterical shrieking in Florida about his principled stand against childhood sex education keeps getting more ridiculous. I read a statement from someone who should know better that Don’t Say Gay Law (propaganda Goebbels would admire since it doesn’t say gay in the entire bill) means Shakespeare can’t be taught in Florida schools.
“He understands you can not bargain with zealots and they do not want cooperation or compromise, they want capitulation.”
With all due respect, not “capitulation”…surrender. There is a difference.
Yes, some divides can’t be healed because they are natural. Such as the natural divide between the races or between men and women.
Such healing is simply wounding.
RFK is saying that the criminals won’t be brought to justice. He’s afraid…..
If your uncle and your dad had been assassinated for not going along with the entire program, you’d be afraid, too.
Yes, why does RFK, Jr. believe he’s some sort of psychologist, come to talk the average American through our psychosis? I’d prefer someone who understands the level of mental torture that we’re still under since 2020, and aims to stop it. I haven’t heard any of these puppets talking about stopping the propaganda machine that Obama put in motion, or removing ESG from corporations. Is RFK, Jr. against globalism? That’s probably the biggest issue.
I’m actually beginning to think there won’t be a next election. The Dems will come up with some excuse why in the current climate of hate, it is just too dangerous to hold elections. Elections will be temporarily delayed until they get things sorted out (to their liking). Blob will become permanent, until it isn’t (collapse).
Well, hey, Zelensky has canceled elections in Ukraine, and we all know that that country is a beacon of freedom and democracy, so it must be okay!!
Most of the voting lemmings won’t care, anyway.
We touched on physiognomy in the comments on Monday’s post. Jack Smith’s face and soulless eyes are textbook psychopath. He has similar features to Drew Peterson.
Good description. My first impression was that he looks like a guy who gets his kicks on the weekend sawing off the limbs of kittens or puppies, whatever happens to be available. With the same face.
Because the masters of the universe haven’t simply offed Trump, I’m starting to think that this whole thing is just some sort of psychodrama soap opera. Whether Trump is in on it, or is just an unwitting foil, I’m not sure. The fact that he was permitted to win in 2016 and has been allowed to hang around, however, is bizarre. The secret hope, best case scenario, is that he has the support of some sort of alternative elite which is doing battle behind the scenes. I find that idea quite fanciful, though.
Same. I assume some of the Elite were amazed at the Federal Reserve Act and the selling of America down the river to the Internationalists. But if so, they’ve kept awfully quiet about it. The nail that stands up gets beaten down. And the good life is too good to give up.
And since they didn’t protest it, they went with it passively. And counseled their children to do the same, if only by their silence.
He’s alive because he’s useful, IMHO.
He provides MSM with a constant news stream to block out any mention of Biden. And with the new charge of being behind the terrifying 1/6 our-democracy-was-on-the-verge-of-anarchy, they can keep that alive and pumping. So you’re right — he plays a useful role.
“… leaving them finally clear-headed enough to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in the coming election of 2024.”
Who is on the ticket with RFK, Jr.?
Biden/Harris vs. Obama/Newsom vs. RFK/?
Tim Dillon says someone named “Big Mike”
Maybe Dennis Kucinich.
Tulsi Gabbard
Good to see someone finally mention her. I can’t believe she didn’t leave the Democratic party a lot longer ago. But if she runs with RFK it should be on an independent ticket. No other way.
that none of the Big Three (Biden, Garland, Myaorkas) have been impeached yet tells you all you need to know. at best, the Republicans are absolute lazy cowards, at worst (and most likely) they are simply part of the Blob. that JK keeps smoking the hopium that anything positive will develop is proof he was once a hippie lol.
My, my. The CFN commentariat is very pessimistic. It’s very hard to criticize them, given the evidence. BUT. I’m in the middle between Jim and the CFNers. I refuse to be pessimistic, but so far things have been going the way the Dems want it. However, trouble is coming their way.
What to think, what to think about all this?
This is why no one can read the future – it hasn’t happened yet. I hear a large flock of black swans flapping their wings. We indeed live in interesting times.
On the bright side, race relations have improved dramatically.
“This is fine theater right here.
Give everybody an independent spirit award or something.”
https://twitter.com/naima/status/1688624327309082626?s=20
The amazing part is that there was actually a black kid who could swim.
I’m not pessimistic because the “Dems” are winning, though. I don’t support Republicans, either.
The mere sight of those MoFo-WEFers Gavin Newsom and ‘Lil Justin Trudeau with their signature smirks is enough to make me hurl (large chunks).
I apologize for the visual reference.
I can add two more to the list but they don’t make me want to hurl, they invoke the urge to punch their surly frowns of contempt: Adam Shiff and Anderson Cooper.
Punching bags with their pusses on them is an excellent idea.
Also, La Nudelman and Le Blinken.
Schiff might be the most punchable face in existence, agree.
And yeah, Cooper too.
Good picks.
More than Granny Schumer, Little Dick Durbin, or Hakeem Jeffries?
Anderson Cooper is Max Headroom’s doppelgänger, except Max Headroom used to appear to be vivified, while Cooper might as well be Whistler’s Mother as painted by Andy Warhol. How expressionless?
Even a dead man shows more animation than “I’m really, really serious” Anderson Cooper. I only catch him from excerpts on the internet, perhaps he even breathes if one watches him long enough?
Stilll life? I’m not so sure.
Cooper looks like what I’d imagine a Transhuman to look like.
He’s way beyond creepy. I should try to find the mash-up on him someone did, showing just how creepy he is when he’s interviewed, etc. He is a true whacko.
Zelensky looks really thrilled with Trudeau.

That’s the secret hair sniffers handshake right there.
Are there actually cogent, mature people who believe that there is a powerful “right wing” in this country that is going to emerge, snatch power away from the progressive, statist Left, and turn this power against them. You’re at least 100 years and probably 150 years late to the game.
“There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.”
– Garet Garrett
Yes, Marxism is a trick in the West. Misdirection. They were looking at the under-class while the Revolution was filtered down from above.
I gave up on Trump when he didn’t publicly push for support of the 1/6 occupiers. I didn’t read it anywhere, although it’s possible the corrupt MSM hid his statement of support. If so, I apologize. If media suppression didn’t occur, fuck Trump.
Speaking of 1/6, a media outlet recently released Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mr. Sund, former Capitol Police Chief.
Pelosi was implicated. Of course she was as she went off the rails when the Speaker turned footage over to Faux News.
Also, Michael Malice recently hosted the “J6 Shaman” on his podcast. The man is far from crazy, or violent. I believe thatit is beyond a doubt that this entire event was totally orchestrated to remove Trump, his most ardent fans, and to pave-the-way for the legitimization (citizenry’s acceptance of) prosecution of political opponents
Sigh. Very possible. The machinations are too devious for my straightforward mind. Going down the rabbit hole takes too much energy for an old man. I consider it a victory if I wake up in the morning and can get up and walk to the bathroom to pee.
Of course it was orchestrated. The media already had the script.
I turned on the TV that day to see what was going on, since social media was already talking about it.
The squawking heads were talking about a ”riot”, but I could see the Capitol steps and there was no riot.
(It was like that BBC reporter ”reporting” the collapse of Building Seven while it was still visible behind her.)
So I called my husband in and asked him what he saw. He said that he saw people milling around the Capitol steps.
I asked him what he heard. He heard the mouthpiece talking about a violent riot.
So I said “Do you see a riot?”
He said “Maybe it’s someplace else”. (It was. It was on the other side.)
But then I pressed him. “But what are they telling you? They are telling you that you are seeing a riot, and you are not”.
We still argue about that, because he still insists that what they really meant was that there was a riot somewhere, and I insist that they were telling us we saw it.
Anyway, when we finally saw the footage of the actual riot, it was clearly the same antifa who had been destroying cities the previous year, since St. George was killed in May.
The Trump people were a different sort, prone to beefiness and flag wearing. (Even though wearing the flag used to be considered disrespect. But, you know, free speech and all.)
Pelosi and McConnel used the “riot” to shut down the proceedings, stopping the C-Span coverage of the election fraud that was being broadcast nation-wide for the first time since the “election”.
I have friends who were watching C-Span at that time, until the evidence was abruptly cut off.
Then they came back that night and Congress meekly rubber stamped the election, the way the msm and Democrats now insist is the whole point of the Constitutional certification.
It’s just rubber stamping, you see. Anything else is sedition.
Wow, I either didn’t know or (more likely) had forgotten about the C-Span thing. Holy fucking shit!
I don’t have TV at all, so I don’t have C-Span, but I do vaguely remember how weird it was that all of a sudden, the election was certified, when I’d been expecting the controversy to drag out for weeks.
Kind of like Election Night itself, with folks going to bed thinking Trump had won… and then suddenly, overnight, something happened and we all woke up to a President-elect Biden.
Precisely, and why the state propaganda’s go-to question this election cycle is:
“Will you accept the election results?”
Democrats refusing to rubberstamp previous stolen elections.
//rumble.com/vcfb31-resurfaced-video-of-dems-objecting-to-electoral-college-votes-is-brutal.html?mref=23gga&mc=8uxj1
I saw that, they could have a 24 hour video of leftists questioning election results and that would still only be a small percentage.
It’s a good review for those who have forgotten what they did.
I feel it’s necessary to throw hypocrisy back in their faces as much as possible.
One correction to “St. George was killed in May” – he actually killed himself by downing a lethal amount of fentanyl. 😀
I was watching it live, too, on a Youtube channel called “Sputnik”. I didn’t see any big riot, even though the coverage was on the area where the action was. I did see some guys staked out on the steps of the capital, and a black woman in a MAGA hat (which I subsequently figured out was a plant/agitator) was yelling at the actual Trump supporters who were calmly standing there with their banners and signs that they should storm the capital. She kept yelling at them “THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE!!” “GO GET THEM!” But no one was having it. A couple of the guys rolled their eyes and just ignored her, some shook their heads, some tried to explain to her they were there for protest, not attacking anyone.
But she kept trying. I’m guessing that’s what she was paid for. It didn’t have significance for me, of course, ’til later after the PTB had ended the historic vote, and scared everyone out of the building over the fake riot.
He could have pardoned Assange and Snowden but didn’t.
As commander in chief, he could have ordered the military to collect all ballots and voting machines after the obvious cheat with them doing an audit. But he didn’t.
He could say that the covid shot is a bio weapon but doesn’t.
He could say that WTC7 was a controlled demolition but doesn’t.
If Trump wants something to get out, Trump can get it out. He’s going around making speeches right now. So, no, he did not push for support of the 1/6 victims. He threw them under the bus.
Essentially, Trump is a bully, and this accounts for a significant percent of the population with TDS.
As long as Trump is in the picture, half the population will vote for “Joe Biden”.
Yes, TDS is a helluva disorder.
But I’d argue that all of the presidential puppets are bullies. Some are just more obvious than others.
Around 2016 a friend told me that he did not want to hear the name Trump, and that I was to refer to him as Number 45.
Seems that it is other than just “more obvious”, perhaps more NY obvious?
“This is why no one can read the future – it hasn’t happened yet. I hear a large flock of black swans flapping their wings. We indeed live in interesting times.”
Bill,
The black schwanz may be appearing from down below…you know, south of the border, as in South America;
The Situational Awareness, this AM, reports;
U.S. Southern Command’s (SOUTHCOM) General Laura Richardson said that China’s creeping influence in Latin America puts the country “on the 20-yard line to our homeland,” or to put it differently, “they’re on the first or second island chain to our homeland.”
Or, as she suggested further “they’re in the back seat of their 57 Chevy with Suzie Creamcheese, have rounded second base and are heading for third…and like Suzie, we can only remain unviolated by use of a strong oral argument…*
*Maybe…who knows?
They’re on the first or second island?
You mean, like the USN and USAF sailing and flying between China and the island province of Taiwan?
You mean like sending weapons to Taiwan?
Am I the only one bothered by such blatant hypocrisy?
Paula’s literalism in the face of humor – part of the death knell of the West. Is it her animus or her Marxism or have the two become one?
Paula,
The General’s reference was based in the WWII Island hopping campaign…you know, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Saipan,, Okinawa?
Regarding sending weapons to Taiwan? I endorse sending nuclear weapons to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Seriously.
The US already has nuclear weapons in Japan and South Korea. It’s just that those countries have no more say over their use than Germany does about the ones in their country.
I’m not surprised that you support it, though. There has been a big push in the last few years to normalize the use of nuclear weapons.
Everyone falls for at least one media narrative.
Paula,
Consider North Korea. A diminutive country, entirely hostile to it’s local democracies, one that the US would like to squash like a toothsome bug, and yet the Norks still exist.
Consider what might arguably be the two most bat-shit crazy countries on earth…Pakistan and India.
Consider that the US and the Evil Empire have not actively taken up arms against one another…yet.
Finally, consider that The world has not risen up against France, with their worship of Jerry Lewis, and other outrages too numerous to mention.
I am not suggesting that the US offer a nuclear umbrella, I’m suggesting that the weapons, and delivery systems, be given to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, and that we then remove our forces from the theater. My plan for peace on the Asian continent is both rational, doable, and even moral.
History is on the side of my argument.
.
OK, I see your viewpoint. MAD doctrine, expanded to all.
Yep, so far history is on your side. I will give you that.
I am not so sanguine about future decision making by various overlords, though.
I guess we’ll find out, although we’ll only have a few seconds to register it, and no time to get online and say I told you so.
The Kuomintang Party will appreciate the nukes. They’re slated to win overwhelmingly in the coming elections. Their biggest priority is a smooth, peaceful reunification with the Mainland.
Pelosi’s visit only sped up the process.
Especially the part where she talked about blowing up their chip factory unless they moved it to Arizona, Land Of Plentiful Water.
No, Paula.
US sailing in the Straits of Taiwan = Freedom of Navigation
China sailing near Alaska = blatant aggression
Mitch McConnell recently took hiatus from his stroke and came out and said the GOP should resist impeaching Biden.
No why is that?
They are both being paid-off by foreign entitiies. This is the game the elite politicians are playing in DC. They are getting paid for influence from K Street lobbying firms, to domestic PAC’s (Soros, Koche’s) and foreign governments, from Uktaine to China.
They need the system of corruption to remain unchanged and unchallenged. They do not accept threats to this status quo.
They all have dirt on each other and they all know the rules of the game. The mostimportant rule:
Play ball, ad infenitum
Are people really THAT motivated by money? I mean, these people are old, they’ve already got more than they can spend, and you can’t take it with you beyond the grave. So what’s the point?
I’m more inclined to think that they’re all being extorted and/or blackmailed. Or even just effectively self-blackmailed. I.e., when you’ve done something wrong and gotten away with it, you have a raw animal TERROR of being exposed, of your evil deeds coming into public light. So you fiercely try to preserve the system/networks that preserve the status quo.
They’re all psychotic, so it’s hard to know their motivation. Some are def programmed/blackmailed/etc. as well.
Certainly.
But ou answered your own question.
Once you’re compromised for $
You’re compromised for life.
It’s not just about getting more $, it’s about staying out of jail and probably staying alive.
Bingo.
These people are pretty much owned for life. You don’t leave the mafia alive, either.
If you’re Cocaine Mitch, you’re trying to make sure your in-laws aren’t rounded up and shot, so you do whatever Chairman Xi tells you through the grapevine. This allows you to maintain your real income (via Elaine Chao’s dad’s shipping company), political power, and status as the Republican Establishment’s leader in the Senate.
JHK: “This malady of self-destructive bad faith and enmity afflicting especially the Democratic Party…”
Dmitri Medvedev: “the gerontocratic elite from the U.S. Democratic Party and its servants in the E.U….”
And it’s not just Medvedev. Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry chief spokesperson, has also frequently singled out the Democratic Party (as opposed to America itself), and so has Putin. (Putin has also explicitly differentiated the ruling elites and Deep State from the American people themselves. Ya think a former KGB officer, who now has Russian intelligence services reporting to him, might know just a few things about what’s REALLY going on in the USA?)
It cheers me to know that the Russians know who are the real villains. You can bet they also know that, ever since the criminally rigged 2020 election, the Democratic Party is an illegally occupying force, therefore it’s not as if the whole American people are behind the Ukraine war, the ganging-up on Niger, or any of the other Democrat/Deep State perfidy going on in the world.
They always refer to their opponent in Ukraine as the US and NATO, also.
You don’t see Putin throwing personal insults about Zelensky.
He knows who the puppet masters pulling Zelensky’s strings are.
absolutely nothing is going to happen to anyone in power. Trump is compromised in some way or just too proud/arrogant to appreciate the obvious: COVID was a scam and he was a sucker, The Wall could have been built by military dictate, his daughter and son-in-law are the enemy and had not business whispering in his ear, etc. etc. he just doesn’t seem to learn. is he the best option still? probably. but that’s how bad it has gotten. there is no integrity no honor no decency no sound judgment left in any of our institutions. it’s being gutted from within as we sit here and type and it’s all planned. enjoy the last days of a decaying empire…
Psychodrama indeed.
A record number of Americans comitted suicide in 2022.
Roughly 50K
55% carried out by firearm
No percentage yet on those carried out by Clinton Inc.
That’s what years of psychological torture will do to a society.
I watch a cop cam channel sometimes and there are no shortage of people committing suicide by cop, also.
What a horrible time to be a cop.
M’Lord,
Oregon is a right to die state. My Smith and my Wesson they comfort me….
I really love it.
It just comes down to all of us.
So appropriate for a real democracy.
In my opinion, Leonard Cohen actually lived the right unifying strategy. It is the best kind of psychodrama.
“You look around and see a world that is impenetrable That cannot be made sense of.
You either raise your fist
Or you sing Hallelujah
I try to do both.”
That sentiment knocks my socks off!
I love Matt Gaetz’s attempts to reclaim the rule of law. He may not have back-up in the Congress, but there are millions of Americans who are disgusted at the crimes of the Biden/Nuland bunch.
But the war on Russia was planned long before “Joe Biden” became president.
I was staying with my dad in 2014, when he was fading fast, and I remember thinking “Hang on, Dad, and we’ll all go together”.
That is how sure I was that Obama/Biden were going to get us into a nuclear war.
The Obama regime provoked the hell out of Russia, but Putin refused to take the bait.
The Maidan coup, while Russia was hosting the Olympics, MH17 being rerouted over Donbass by Kiev air control, (far off its planned route, which avoided the war zone), the shooting down of MH17 by Kiev fighter jets, and the ensuing media storm lies leading to sanctions on Russia, the shooting down of the Russian fighter jet near Turkey, after Russia entered Syria to save it from the US proxies ISIS (with the surviving pilot saved by a team led by General Soleimani), the shooting down of the civilian airliner over Egypt (said to be ISIS, in its one and only Egyptian appearance), the deaths of the entire Russian Army choir, as they headed to Palmyra to give a Christmas concert in the newly liberated historical site, the petty harassment of Russia’s athletes, even in the Olympics, the harassment of Russia’s musicians, the constant hatred spewed at them, the kicking out of Russian ambassadors and the stealing of their properties, the sudden and unexpected deaths of 7 Russian ambassadors (before the vaccine), the Jan. 2017 movement of thousands of US troops to Russia’s borders, the horrendous treatment of that talented 14 y.o. at the Olympics, where they accused her of drug use and kept her up until 3am (illegal to do to a child) and then the media celebration when she buckled under the pressure and stumbled.
What kind of people celebrate the targeting a child and pretend that her collapse is some sort of great victory?
Disgusting people.
Anyway, I think that Trump and Putin gave us four extra years of life, but now the planned war is back on track.
We’ll see how far they take it. We might have that planned nuclear war yet.
Paula D.
I had not heard of some of those things! I guess I was living in a bubble. I Braved the ones I hadn’t heard about (Brave is the search engine I use, I do NOT “google” things), and found the information. Wow. So horrible!
Some of these outrages, I’d simply forgotten about with the passage of time. When you list them all together, it is a shocking memory-jogger and reality-jolt. You have provided a valuable service with your capsule summary. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome.
Paula is most excellent at that. Yes, thanks, Paula!
I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for finding the words so I don’t have to. (Except I use Duck-Duck-Go rather than Brave as a search engine – probably not much difference.)
That is one of the things I value most about this blog: the detailed information provided by our host, and many of his informed commenters, that make understanding our current situation so much more accessible than would otherwise be the case.
I look forward to meeting (some of…) you at the K-Man’s July 4, 2026 Backyard Mindfry and Weenie Roast. I know he hasn’t invited us (all of us…) yet – but I think we can all see the way the current is flowing…
Obama’s blatant snub of the 75th anniversary of WW II’s ending in Russia was the final image branded in my brain. What a fucking class act. I’m still ashamed.
I liked him showing off his boner to the press whores on his airplane, before he was even selected President. (No, I don’t have a link – but I’m sure you can find it – he kept it in his pants – as far as the video shows…)
Tells you all you need to know about the “media” and its ummm… service… to Barry-O, that classy sonofabitch. (Takes some big balls “marry” a black man – Big Mike – in woman’s clothes.)
The only positive thing I can think of to say about him is that he did not attack Syria after the obvious false flag “chemical weapons attack” by Assad, on areas under Syrian control… I was sure he would. Fuckin’ Russians!
I saw the pics you’re referring to.
The only reason he didn’t attack Syria after that false flag attack in 2013, (set up by Obama announcing that chemical weapon use would be a red line for the US), as the OPCW team landed in Damascus by Syrian request to investigate use by the US-backed terrorists, was that the UK, the mini-me of the US, refused to participate, for the first time ever.
Curses, foiled again!
Then Putin stepped in and negotiated for Syrian chemical weapons to be destroyed, in return for the US leaving Syria alone.
The weapons were destroyed, by the US!, and were certified destroyed by the US. (But chalk up another grievance against Putin for facilitating.)
Then, in early 2014, the US rolled out ISIS, with matching factory-made uniforms and flags, driving Toyota pick-up trucks and fully equipped and armed. Their weapons were re-supplied as they terrorized their way across Syria, by USAF air drops
Britain fell into line, and so do other terrorist supporting nations. At one point there were terrorists from 110 countries operating in Syria.
I remember seeing a heart-breaking account of a police station that ISIS attacked. The police ran out of ammo and sent out messages to their loved ones saying good-bye.
How did the police run out of ammo, but ISIS didn’t?
I guess it was easier to supply ISIS than it is to keep up with the demands of the Kiev regime nazis.
The US not only lied about the bargain to leave Syria alone, they dropped their own certification down the Memory Hole, when Trump came in, and they started using chemical weapons and blaming it on Assad again.
That takes some damn chutzpah.
Simplicius has a post that is of interest. It is mostly about the Russian roll-out of CBCD, but also has a part about Vivek’s lawsuit against the WEF, including a letter of apology from WEF’s lawyers.
He mentions that Putin and Gabbard were also subject to Schwab’s lying boasts.
Anyway, there are always discussions about such things on this site, so it is good to have some facts which contradict the usual assertions.
//simplicius76.substack.com/p/russias-cbdc-exploring-the-truth
Vivek should release his scholarship application.
He should release, oh wait, someone beat him to it, his stance on vaccinations and his pharmaceutic enterprises in China.
The so-called alternative right media are slowly bringing him front-and-center. Isn’t that convenient. Out of nowhere, but right into the laps of disatisfied MAGA.
The safety-valve once they have Trump behind bars, or at least banned from the election.
They now know that Desantis generates the combined excitement levels of Mike Pence, a Toyota Corolla, and a bowl of Cheerios and is not a suitable heir to the Trump constituency.
No biggie. We have their guy, our guy.
The MAGAs that I know are far from stupid. Vivek is getting traction because most of what he says is sensible. It is not obvious yet that he is a WEF creature.
But he is a Soros, Ivy (elite), big-pharma, venture capitalist, China investor creature.
Despite his protests.
The fool-me-again half-wits are too enticed by his siren’s songs to clealrly see the rocks he stands on
I’m in agreement with you on this.
There is no way in hell that Vivek came out of nowhere and is some good guy.
That doesn’t happen, it is only ever engineered.
Glenn Beck, for one, thinks Vivek “is a future President of the United States.” While that probably should worry us, it’s important to remember that he thought Rafael Cruz Jr. would mop the floor with both Trump and the Hildebeest. Uh huh. Nowadays, even though he calls Cruz “a friend, Beck talks trash about Cruz’s stiffness and perceived arrogance. Nice.
Even aside from the WEF stuff, Vivek’s past is quite shady and grift-laden.
He reeks of fraud, IMO.
Yes.
“Vivek is getting traction because most of what he says is sensible.”
Now, replace “Vivek” with “Trump”.
Sound familiar?
I’m still amazed, although I shouldn’t be, that people spouting sensible lies still works on most folks.
I am bothered by the current controversy over Gonzalo Lira. People who should be staunch upholders of free speech are arguing over his character, as if only the pure have a right to free speech.
This is appalling. It is exactly what the Democrats do when it comes to Julian Assange, and it is unconscionable.
Scott Ritter? Really? Shouldn’t he be one of the strongest advocates?
Anyway, in the uproar, someone posted a link to Lira talking about the role of Victoria “Cookies” Nuland in the destruction of Ukraine (starting from the 90s, when she worked for Strobe Talbot, and then Dick Cheney).
He should have the right to free speech no matter what, but the info he gives (in his usual rambling way) is important to remember.
.youtube.com/watch?v=TzR—YDDIQ
Does he legally have the right to free speech in Ukraine?
I do not know the answer to that question but I do know that many Americans make the big mistake of assuming that their rights in the greatest country on earth travel with them while, of course, they do not.
There are rights that are internationally accepted, and the right to free speech is one of them.
Of course, the US is not the only country that ignores human rights when it is convenient. Ukraine is obviously one of them.
But, yeah, the calls to release Gonzalo are done using the internationally accepted right of free speech.
Utter bullshit.
Here in Germany, I began ranting about Hitler with a swastika on my shirt I would be arrested and potentially deported.
My free speech on the matter does not apply here.
“You have the right to free speech
As long as you’re not dumb enough to actually try it”
– Joe Strummer
Although…
I have read that Joe Strummer said that from London Calling on, the Clash were given lyrics by their producers, and told to just write music to them.
Too bad. I liked the Clash. Their globalist/pseudo-communist producers were some good songwriters – sometimes.
Should I stay or should I go now?
Zonk, the US does have about the closest thing to free speech that there is.
The idea that an American’s “right to free speech” extends to their behavior abroad is absurd however.
No answer from Paula, ofc. Only hate.
😀
I found something fishy about Lira from the get-go. He had very little original material but passed off others’ material and analyses as if they were his own.
He is not a journlaist. What kind of “journalist” lives for 10 years in a country and never learns the language.
George Eliason is not the first to surmise that GL works for the SBU, but he adds more relevant background.
I speculate that GL is a paid agitator; his “job” is to be a huge distraction, to eat up oxygen and attention that the alternative news sphere cannot afford to waste, plus, most important, to create dissension.
Besides weakening the alternative news universe via dissension and distraction, this dissension itself is a valuable data source for the SBU and ultimately for other actors aligned with it.
The “free speech” argument has no relevance in the current situ.
I’m of like mind, Islander. Well put.
He smokes and looks like someone who does. Some posters can’t forgive him for not having a pure body.
Well, Lira is a sleazebag and probably a liar, even if he has accurately (like so many others) reported the goings on in Ukraine.
Realizing that has nothing to do with free speech.
It’s not censorship to call out someone on their ridiculous claims, as Ritter has done.
Eva Bartlett and George Eliason agree with Ritter as well.
Eliason lists the reasons he doesn’t believe Lira: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmi79T-YQdY
I find it odd, the way he seems to want to blame everything on Zelensky.
I don’t see Zelensky as a good guy, but he’s a cog who overestimated his importance in the scheme of things.
I don’t see him as the devious and sadistic mastermind.
He refers to him as a degenerate. No, that’s Hunter, and probably the rest of the Bidens too.
Lira protests too much.
Lira refers to Z as a degenerate, because he is. Have you seen the videos of him, or know about his massive coke habit?
Degenerate seems like a great descriptor, actually.
Plus then taking so much money to be a NATO puppet – well, there aren’t many things much lower.
Zelensky is a puppet, chosen for his degeneracy.
Coke, chestless leather catsuits, and penis piano are certainly not the marks of a fine, upstanding citizen.
It is true that Ritter’s arguments are circumstantial.
But I found them quite persuasive.
The fact that Lira was arrested by the SBU on April 15, 2022 and then released 4 days later is strange in itself.
Even more strange is the fact that Lira acknowledged that his phone and computers were seized by Ukrainian authorities but was then released under conditions of house arrest, and was able to gain access to a different computer and set up a new e-mail account and immediately began posting information critical of the Ukrainian Government.
Lira than began a lengthy series of round-table discussions which included, over a number of months, many of the major dissident voices critical of the Ukrainian war effort.
Ritter stated that it was the round table discussions that he found most problematic.
He hypothesizes that these round table discussions were a potential means by which the SBU could collect key behavioral data intelligence about all of these prominent critics.
Please see the lengthy Ritter post on these issues entitled Gonzalo Lira, the SBU, and Information Operations (Aug 8, 2023), but behind a paywall.
“He hypothesizes that these round table discussions were a potential means by which the SBU could collect key behavioral data intelligence about all of these prominent critics.”
Absolutely.
Lira is a plant, an agitator.
My point is that we should be united in standing for his right to free speech, not bickering over his character.
Like I said, they do the same thing to Julian Assange. I am not comparing Julian’s character to Gonzalo’s, before someone starts on that.
Obviously, Julian is a giant among men, and Gonzalo comes across as a sleezball.
Not The Point. Everyone has the right to free speech and no one should be in prison for exercising it.
Oppressive governments should be opposed, not bowed down to.
I would not compare Lira to Assange, for starters.
And the argument I’ve seen is not for shutting up Lira, it’s about whether or not he works for SBU and is an asset or not, or whether he is lying or not. I have not seen any of his detractors call for his censorship, so I’m not sure where you are getting that. Maybe you can provide a link or something? Who is saying that Lira should be shut up?
Lets keep in mind if what Ritter and Eliason are claiming is true, then all the people responding to Lira on social media may be in some trouble should things escalate.
Ritter is right. If GL was the fearless “truth to power” guy he claims he is, he would be dead already. There’s no way the Ukie secret service would only hold him for a week and then let him go.
Agreed.
To gain a proper perspective of the current global situation, it helps to understand how sports teams are organized under the principle of speed or strength.
Whether emphasizing pitching & fielding vs long ball, or complex passing routes vs pounding the ball up the middle, managers build teams around available talent.
In world affairs, the elite can choose between (racial/cultural) unity or opt for broad(er) diversity. Cohesion by definition limits volume, whereas a (fake) egalitarian approach can draw from a much larger population base.
The second point to consider is whether to play offensive or defense; each having their own advantages and disadvantadefeat. Way of example, WW2 provides a great illustration of how those who chosen unity went on the offensive and suffered disastrous defeats.
Now, where it gets interesting is that just as sports dynasties eventually end, so too do nation states. It is at that point owners need to decide how to go about the rebuilding process, and whether they can even change emphasis at the risk of destroying their identity.
This is where old players need to be cleaned out, and fans brought along for the process. In this way, the old boomer whites of the USA/West are massively butt hurt because they’re being replaced to accomodate an entirely new approach towards maintaining empire.
However, the ironic element is the total switchero by 2 of the 3 national teams. That is, the USA/West opted for a diverse offensive vs Russia playing the (culturally) unified defenders.
The only constant is all life forms is competition over scarce resources, manifested as war in the human species sapien sapien. To play the game correctly, you must employ the attitude of sports betting.
It’s merely a function of resources (human and energy), playground and management. In this way we can see Russia has the advantage and will win.
The USA made its decisions decades ago, honestly thinking it could win. The effects of those choices are now being visited upon those who both supported and opposed the changes.
Crying over the demographic shift and resulting loss of global empire doesn’t get you anywhere. Once lost, the bottom will fall out until an entire rebuilding program is undertaken over the next 20-30 years.
The question is, who wants to stick around? Why not kite off to Crimea or Ukraine when the dust settles?
Couldn’t “we” launch a first strike? They would retaliate, thus solving a lot of demographic problems. The Elite, safe in their underground palaces would be having parties a la Masque of the Red Death.
The population deficit, if any, could be solved by more Latino immigration.
We must think about the unthinkable, as Herman Kahn taught us to do.

Yeah! How dare Sadie ask for help from people who know things that she doesn’t! She’s acting like someone eager to lear, for goodness sakes!
CFN seems to be chalk-full of know-it-alls in their ivory towers of knowledge.
Talk about elitist, smug, unhelpful and rude.
You showed up a few days ago, and started pestering everyone.
Not a lot of room to talk here, bud.
I showed up a few days ago after being told that CFN had intellectual discussion. Instead, it is more than 50% (excluding JHK days) petty sniping and rudeness and you appear to be the queen.
You can insult me until the cows come home. I don’t care. Go for it.
But if you cannot simply scroll by Sadie’s admirable student-like request for help in her quest to learn with your inquisitive-crushing rudeness then I’ll elbow myself room, missy.
And I have not pestered anywhere near everyone hear at CFN. It only appears to you that way because of your narcissism.
Actually, I have pestered you, HE & Edgy. Two on account of rudeness and one on account of being at war and underestimating our enemy.
Everyone else here seems intelligent and interesting.
Cheers!
Ugh. New sock born yesterday, annoying already.
It’s amazing how quickly Zonk fit in here. He was accepted by Islander and he is part of her team.
If you draw a line in the sand, the whole world can be understood as being on one or the other side of it. I find myself on the same team as Zonk. Our opponent is Mary and her team.
Some people say they aren’t part of either team, but that is open to question. You are on one side of the line or the other.
Vlad, you have been here far too long to know there are no sides.
They don’t exist in a circle

Let me come down from my ivory tower of knowledge and be helpful, by letting you know that there is no such expression as ‘chalk-full’. The expressiion is ‘chock full”.
A chock is a block or wedge placed under something else, such as a wheel, to keep it from moving, as in the aviation expression ‘chocks away’.
Just being helpful and increasing the sum of CFN knowledge. 🙂

Sadie,
I have no idea what you are referring to.
But if I want to retrieve something I vaguely recall from earlier JHK posts, I think of relevant search items and trawl through the posts until I find what I am looking for.
“… The People of the Blob, the folks infesting the high ranks of our government’s permanent bureaucracy, which has turned so viciously against the governed.”
Has there ever been a truly successful business venture that actually hated their own customers? Has there ever been a single successful marriage where the partners truly hated each other? Has there ever been a successful parent-child relationship ever when one side (or both) simply hated each other?
And yet, here ‘We the People’ are… surrounded by so-called Leaders all around who really and truly hate us. Not just dislike, but HATE US. They loathe us. Their only wish for us is that we would all just go away forever.
And has there ever been a successful Social Contract anywhere down through Time when the Leadership Class and The People had nothing left but hate for each other?
There is much talk these days about this (legally-conjured and weaponized) notion of a ‘Hate Crime’. Well, playing-along with this silly notion just for the sake of argument… let’s say that a Hate Crime is an actual thing. When the Leadership Class at all levels has nothing but hate for We the People — does that rise to the level of a ‘Hate Crime’? And if so… wouldn’t that call for a reasonable response of corrective action?
But we don’t live in reasonable times. In fact, ‘reason’ is no longer tolerated as a thinking philosophy. These days it’s all about having emotion and bias first, and then acting that out with no regard for sensibility and fairness and rationality. The Weaponization of Hate against We the People. Not to mention it’s increasingly being codified into ‘Law’ and Modern Civil practice.
If We the People ‘hate’ something, then that’s Bad… Bad… Bad!…
But if the Leadership Class hates We the People… that’s, well, simply the way things are going to be. And We had better like it, or we’ll get more hate our way.
So it’s only a ‘Hate Crime’ depending on WHO is doing the hating, and why. The same feeling… the same actions… but with some folks having a ‘Hate All You Want!’ card while others are being punished for daring to harbor a legacy human emotion that has now been fully criminalized for the Wrong Class of People.
Hate of any kind is not a productive emotion. But sometimes… it’s something learned in how one has been treated by those they counted on and entrusted.
Successful Businesses do not hate their customers. Successful Leaders don’t hate their governed, either. Too bad They can’t understand that. Their Hate won’t let them.
“Has there ever been a truly successful business venture that actually hated their own customers?”
How about Purdue Pharma?
I have been thinking a lot recently, over just how it came to be that ‘diversity’ now requires that you hire a lot of foreign nationals, specifically from India.
It was while reading this article from the Market Ticker that it hit me- the definition of diversity was changed to mean people from India, to suit the corporations that hire them because they work cheap.
We have nearly all been brainwashed that ‘diversity’ is a good thing, and if you don’t think so you are a xenophobic racist.
Anybody who wants these employers prosecuted for replacing Americans with foreign workers then becomes a racist.
Sleep Well, Elites? You Shouldn’t
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=249479
The core problem with your approach is believing you had any influence or part in the decision making process. (Or that anyone did going back to adoption of the constitution and before with the granting of the Plymouth and Virginia charters.)
Now, where did you get that idea? When was it implanted as an article of faith, and to what purpose was it intended?
Examine those points and an honest assessment will immediately recognize the parallels with religious indoctrination. Again, why the brainwashing?
For the elite, power, control, wealth, money, in fact complete hedonistic freedom to do anything one wants, violating every cultural and moral norm that governs the lesser undermenchen subject to your whim.
We know Jim gets out there fighting the good fight, but why listen to or follow anyone who endlessly repeats the same tired canards with respect to ‘freedom and democracy’??
MQ, like John AZ, has really come around, rejecting all prior forms of faith, freeing herself to view reality in a truthful and honest fashion. That’s true liberation of the mind and allows for a calming peace when everything makes perfect logical sense.
Tell me, MQ and JAZ, do you actually give a shit anymore? Notice your blood pressure dropping and your overall health improving?
The Mitchster sure seems to give a shit if they give a shit.
Odd, really.
What do you mean “has come around”? I’ve been here for 20 years, you dolt.
And mitchc tried so hard to be nice to you!
“…freeing herself to view reality in a truthful and honest fashion.”
But yeah, There’s Something About Mitch…
Hey, I scored a couple tickets to the Dictator Zoo! Busy?
It’s a date, dahling.
Long, long before, “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different…”, the great masses of humanity accepted that there are those better than us.
An upper strata free from the constraints placed on the hoi-polloi.
Of course many social and mental structures were put in place to maintain a physical separation.
Religion
Laws
Social classes
Peerage
This was a fact of life.
As Mitch states, when did this fact become inconvenient?
When did a shroud get thrown over it?
Roughly 1776?
Well, guess what?
It fell off.
“[…] but why listen to or follow anyone who endlessly repeats the same tired canards with respect to ‘freedom and democracy’??”
Who is that person behind our Mitch who’s twisting his arm so painfully to force him to listen to stuff he doesn’t want to listen to?
Get them to stop – he’s had enough.
Hahahahaa!
The problem with the world is that most people are always a drink behind.

James, This is gobbledygook. Call me when you actually have something to say. Once, you could a been a contender. Now, what? I’ll pray for you.
Just like Terry, you’re a punch-drunk commie
You’re the best, Edgy. Thank you for sharing your insults with us.

You probably know nothing of it.
Patterning yourself after an insulting asshole is no way to go through life, Edgy.

Got any more bad movie lines for us? Hilarious that you bothered to drop by, though.
“Call me.”

Hahahahahaha!!
I needed a laugh like that today. Thanks!
Turn your handle green so we can all flock to your oh-so-informative site!
Ain’t nuthin new here Mr K. All Germans were mentally ill from 1933-45. Then, miraculously, they were all cured of their psychosis when they lost the war. Some of the best and brightest were so cured that we forgave them completely of their heinous misdeeds and put them in total control of many branches of our government. Read your history Mr K!
Why Elon Musk’s “X” is a Hellscape With the New CEO, Linda Yaccarino’s CENSORSHIP Plans
“CEO Linda Yaccarino: “we’ve introduced a new policy called… ‘freedom of speech, not reach’… if you’re going to post something that is lawful but it’s awful you get labelled… you get deamplified.” X is now officially and explicitly a censorship platform” – P Mitchell
“the recent announcement of the WEF ghoul Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO has created more controversy. Yaccarino has promised to censor “lawful but awful” content, which has sparked outrage among free speech advocates. This article is not only about Linda Yaccarino’s appointment but also an analysis of how elites like the World Economic Forum (WEF) and billionaire businessmen like Musk are trying to control people’s speech. Additionally, it highlights why billionaires shouldn’t own social media or legacy media as it could be harmful to the principles of democracy around the world.”

In other words they are shadowbanning again, but this time they are telling you that they are shadowbanning rather than denying it.
Lindy Yaccs!
People will accept anything if they like who’s running the show.
They will accept it regardless of that. Fear is all that is needed.
“Lawful but awful” – c’mon! that’s so cool ya gotta be down widdat!
As I’ve said almost as many times as “The Hildebeast will be your last President!”: “Please second-richest-man-in-the-world, save us from the plutocrats!”
But I’ll admit to having been (briefly!) seduced by the Tesla Model S – except for those door-opening-thingys. They stay flush with the exterior of the car – no unsightly bumps and bulges (ala Big Mike). They pop out when the key in your pocket comes close enough – uh huh… When some 18-year-old kid owns a 20-year-old Tesla as his first car, all that fancy shit ain’t gonna work, and will cost more than the price of the car to fix. But I digress… (That future isn’t coming anyway…)
The motto should be shortened:
“Lawful.”
End of story.
“L’awful” (sorry France)
or maybe “Law Fool”
Wow I sure have missed you. Where have you been?!?
“No unsightly bumps ala Big Mike” will have me chuckling all day.
I’ve seen enough exploding or suddenly-accelerating Teslas to keep me alternatively leery and in fear of them.
I also believe they will all be garbage in 20 years (if not sooner). The electric car thing was laughed out of the room in the 1980s, remember? Then that “filmmaker” came out of nowhere to create the documentary, “Who Killed The Electric Car?” and got us all riled up about why we can’t have E cars and ditch the dirty fossil-fuel burning ones? It was all a conspiracy between car companies, you see. Because they have all the power. Big eye roll.
But we can see how far back the plans for today go.
This fall, when flu season starts up and about 75% of the country has IgG-4 produced by the clot shot’s S1 glycoprotein, their immune system will fail them via the IgG4 blinding of immunity to viruses and cancer cells. We will see a massive die off of people with the flu, or whatever bullshit viral entity the PTB will claims is responsible to cover their asses. At that point, I predict that what RFK has been saying for several years about the clot shot’s ill effects, will draw very positive attention to him as a likely person to go against the blob.
I have little faith in the voting process, but someone of RFK’s stature and family credentials may make a difference, for once in many decades.
RFK, Peter McCullough, and all the others have performed valiantly, against the Blob, these last 3 years. Even those who caught on late, like Dr. Campbell and Jimmy Dore, are doing heroic work now, adding their voices to the swell.
We may not win, but I salute those who stood up and fought.
I sure hope my family got the saline shots, is all I can say about the immunosuppression.
In an Australian senate hearing with weight of a court case against Pfizer, yesterday afternoon, Pfizer’s Exec VP and Research Chief (CEO Boula is on the run and refusing subpoenas) ADMITTED under oath that there were two sets of injections: one for the Pfizer and Moderna and other corporate executive teams and their families, along with what they called ‘important’ people, and another injection set for the ‘masses,’ i.e. for the rest of us. NO kidding, they really said it, after a very tenacious senator talked them into a corner.
I hope all these devils are reincarnated as chickens in a KFC chicken factory where they pull off the beaks at birth.
I think the people will eventually win this, but it may be a Pyrrhic victory with many many otherwise good people dead from trusting an untrustworthy Nazi government.
Yes, that is more or less how I think it will shake out as well.
That’s what I find so disturbing about RFK Jr. going all kunbaya on us.
Also pretending not to see what they are doing to Trump.
People have to pay for these crimes.
Kumbaya.
“People have to pay for these crimes.”
It goes so far beyond that though.
This is mass murder–at the global level.
What we have lived and continue to live through is one of the most incredible displays of evil in world history.
Anyone that refuses to call it out is not worthy of leading, and anyone who supported it and has not genuinely repented can burn in hell.
Not only mass murder, but the psychological (mostly touchless) torture is still at Geneva Convention violation levels.
STILL.
Every day, fear propaganda spewed from the highest rooftops and that’s only one part of the design to drive us insane.
The ones hit the hardest are the youth, who seem increasingly unbalanced. Gen Z is quite a mess as are millenials.
I have read that no one wants to hire them.

NDoc,
With all respect, you should also mention their history of being neutralized when not towing the line.
Good point.
toeing the line
Q,
I suppose that tow might also be correct if you say “Tow that barge, lift that bale”…sort of an Erie Canal sort of thing….
https://haitianartsociety.org/tow-that-barge-lift-that-bale
That line, from the song “Old Man River,” in the play “Show Boat,” speaks of the life of black slaves working as stevedores, not Irishmen digging the Erie Canal.
Hey Doc, thanks for the first sentence of your response. That kind of detailed info gives me something to dig into.
As for the last sentence… Well, I suspect you may have family and such, and need to polish at least a little forlorn nugget of hope.
I would consider it a fortuitous turn of events if you turn out to be correct. (Notice my tortured avoidance of the word “hope”?)
I suspect that if JFK and RFK had not been martyred, they might both have lived up to the standard set by little bro Teddy.
The sonsabitches killed Marilyn Monroe!
This is an interesting perspective from commenters on MoA. It makes sense, in a way, but I’m not sure about it. I guess we’ll watch it play out.
“It’s another destabilization campaign for Big Business, Banks in the heart of EU, no different than the Niger campaign is now on the continent of Africa, to bring the whole continent into destabilization (absolutely US has the President currently captive) or Iraq & Syria to destabilize the Middle East.”
Trubind1 (#11)
“Interesting comment about the US holding Niger’s president hostage. It fits in with the idea that the US is behind the coup—having trained Niger’s military and benefitting via the coup by its weakening of France in Africa and in Europe by loss of uranium imports that they control, similar to Germany’s loss of natural gas imports due to the destruction of NSII. And the timing of the coup immediately after the Africa Summit in St. Petersburg allows for MSM linkage of the coup with the RF.
The US play is not only to weaken (and possibly destroy) the RF, it is to weaken and prevent Europe from independent actions”.
I understand that Burkina Faso and Mali support the coup in Niger. Ostensibly we have troops there to help keep terrorists at bay.
I thought that Bazoum was being held by the coup leaders, but I’m not really up on all of this.
Africa has always been there for the taking. Reminds me of the fact that Germany had colonies there during WW1.
“Africa has always been there for the taking. Reminds me of the fact that Germany had colonies there ”
Don’t forget the Belgian Congo (see comment below).
Brutal exploitation and genocide in the Congo as elsewhere, but not so much in Bruges and Brussels.
In 2020, people in Belgium vandalized the statues of King Leopold ll and other officers and I don’t mind it much.
I can do without that type of white supremacy, but what would history be without the corpses of conquest, the cemeteries of colonization?
Puala, very possibly this is a variety of color revolution.
France has longstanding ties to Africa, also postcolonial. I just read a book** that devotes some chapters to the cultivation of the “francophonie” in Africa, as a counterweight to the huge pressure of the Anglosphere hegemony (and also the English language hegemony, which puts French speakers at a disadvantage in many contexts).
Just as there are speculations thta the devastating riots in France were “messages” to Macron not to test the “Gaullist” waters too much, this Niger business could well be designed to destroy the France=Africa integration.
After all, the UK maintains strong ties to Canada, Au, and NZ. Why shouldn’t France maintain strong ties to its former colonies in Africa?
Anglosphere postcolonial ties Good!
Francosphere postcolonial ties Bad!!

In the book ‘Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World’, there’s a chapter on how France maintains its colonial relationship with its former colonies (i.e. by funnelling money from them into its own coffers), after the chapter on the UK perpetuating its own empire underground in the same way. Then there’s a chapter on the US …

I just watched a video of the Italian prime minister go nuts on France and its exploitation of Africa.
She included the uranium, which powers 1/3 of France, while 80% of Nigeriens don’t have electricity.
She included France’s control of their currency and their bank accounts.
Apparently France’s former colonies still use French issued money, even though France itself uses the Euro.
I have no idea why Meloni cares so much about Africa, except that she did complain about the immigrants flooding Italy.
She said that the solution to the problem is not sending Africans to Europe, it is getting Europeans out of Africa.
I think Italy has no influence on former colonies in Africa, so there’s that.
Anyway, I found that odd, because Meloni ran as an outsider, but supports the NATO attack on Ukraine.
As for the Congo, we are trained to hurl abuse at King Leopold and ignore the millions killed in the Congo at the beginning of this century.
We need the cobalt, doncha know.
80% of Nigerians do not have electricity? That is the most shocking fact that I have learned all day. 80% in 2023 – zoinkers!
Per Statista:
“The share of the population with access to electricity in Nigeria increased by 4.1 percentage points (+7.4 percent) since the previous year. Therefore, the share in Nigeria reached a peak in 2021 with 59.5 percent. Over the observed period, the share has been subject to fluctuation.”
There is a big difference between urban and rural access to electric power. Maybe it it an infrastructure issue.
No, not Nigerians, but Nigeriens (with an “e”).
Nigerians are people who live in Nigeria.
Nigerians (with an “e”) are people who live in Niger.
It is these latter that Paula was referring to as mostly not having electricity while supplying loads of uranium to France.
Damn autospell. I was trying to sat that NigerIENS — WITH AN “E” — the people in Niger — have uranium but not electricity.
Zonk, I found that figure a little excessive. Wiki tells me 94% of Nigerians are connected to the national power grid. Power can be intermittent for some but they got juice. I found it crazy that there are 500 different languages spoken there and over 250 ethnic groups. Sounds like a recipe for never ending problems. This is what the Blob wants for the USA.
Thanks for the Nigerien/Nigerian info.
Kind of like Russians and Belarusians.
I expect Niger is one of the countries that would have benefitted bigly if Qaddafi had been able to follow through on his plans to use Libyan wealth to assist African development. Instead of being taken out in the most brutish fashion.
Thank you, Heartlander. I was referring to the people of Niger, not the people of Nigeria.
“As for the Congo, we are trained to hurl abuse at King Leopold and ignore the millions killed in the Congo at the beginning of this century.
We need the cobalt, doncha know.”
Speak for yourself.
I am not so “trained.”
I suspect you don’t think you are, either.
I said that because Tusconspur brought up King Leopold, ignoring the civil war of this century.
I have seen that a lot, so I am not speaking for myself, I am speaking about the general public.
She’s another fraud, now saying that Italy need refugees.
Her Ukraine position was an early red flag.
The Blacks wouldn’t have any technology at all but for us. That bears remembering. And their population would be low and stable. Thank Christian charity for upsetting the balance so that they’re now flooding much of the world.
Former colonies are not in the Eurozone. Former colonies that after WW2 chose to become departments of France use the euro.
“Since January 2002 the Euro (€) has been the official currency for the French Overseas Departments, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion. Notes are in denominations of €5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins are in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, and 1 and 2 euros.”
The US play (in Ukraina) is not only to weaken Russia and the EU, but more importantly, to undermine and weaken the US.

MIC turns Pb to Au.
I see that the usual pompous creator of fatuous, fanciful notions, the self- enthroned proclaimer of the ineffectiveness of others, is still clothed in the tawdry tatters of his thoughts.
The temerity of this ‘intellectualizing’ toad has one thinking that his mind has been gripped by some variation of tenesmus.

Speaking of organ harvesting (up-thread), last night I watched an extraordinary documentary film about the years-long operation to conceal the very likely sequence of events that led to the SIV virus jumpingn to humans and becoming HIV-AIDs.
It goes back to the Belgian Congo in the 1950s and the use (coercion) of citizens to receive what turned out to be dodgy polio jabs. AIDs first appeared in the early1960s in the same locations where the intensive jabbing campaign was conducted.
The Origins of AIDS (2004) | Full Documentary | Cecil Fox | Simon Wain-Hobson | Joseph Vandepitte
httpX://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRTpThZrDAY
The reason I mention this film in the organ harvesting context is that organs were harvested from live chimpanzees to be used as a substrate for growing the vaccine locally. It turned out that some of these chimps had the SIV virus. Thus, the jabs were contaminated.
The activities—even the existence— of a state=of-the-art lab in Stanleyville, the activities in a camp where at least 400 chimps that had been hunted down were held captive and drained of their live organs while fully conscious (footage in the film)—all was suppressed and lied about by the whole scientific community, up to falsifying statements and documents shown at a Royal Society conference/inquiry.
Obvious (to me) question: Do the organs harvested in the Ukraine end up in these biolabs? Are they being used as a substrate of some kind? Are they being turned into a biological product that can then be used in other labs?
The film is absolutely fascinating, with a lot of vintage footage and photos of the Belgian Congo in the 1950s, etc.
Of course, the scientific “community” closed ranks and tried to destroy and discredit the two journalists who stuck to the trail and wouldn’t give up.
” the years-long operation ‘
Make that “decades-long suppression”
Some of that sounds pretty hard to watch.
Not really. the only “hard-to-watch” part was the section with getting the organs from the chimps.
Actually the film is more like a mystery, or cold case. With a lot of historical context regarding the polio epidemic (if it was that) in the US, the backgrounds of the two main protagonists/competitors (Salk, Sabin, and a Polish virologist whose name escapes me) and the vaccines they championed.
The views of the pharma industry at the end of the film also make it relevant to our current situ. I don’t think anyone could watch this film without seeing the very clear parallels to the current situ. We have forgotten too much of this history, or it has been suppressed.
“Not really. the only “hard-to-watch” part was the section with getting the organs from the chimps.”
That’s the bit I meant!
The “scientific community” is populated by non-scientists/fake scientists.
In this documentary that is not the case.
I haven’t seen the documentary, but I plan to, it sounds interesting.
I am only commenting from experience.
But, based on my experience, many of those who most vehemently flout their “scientific credentials”, have lost any thread of what it means to be a “scientist” (like questioning your own assumptions).
No one sells out science like a “scientist”.
I hope you do watch the video.
I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
There are good scientists and bad scientists. the more money is thrown at them via govt grants, etc., the more politicized their work gets.
One very interesting figure in the film is the evolutionary biologist Bill Hamilton (I had never heard of him). There are aa couple of interesting comments about Hamilton in the thread. Reminds me a bit of Kary Mullis. There are geniuses out there who are not cookie-cuttered.
Back in the 80s suspicion about the origins of AIDS grew. I remember seeing a Montel show with a UN official facing a roomful of hostile and skeptical people accusing AIDS of being a bioweapon.
Oh, no, no! she said. It was spread by the smallpox vaccination program in Africa, in the 80s.
Oh really? But smallpox was declared eradicated in the world in 1980, and vaccine programs were halted.
Anyway, at that point, officials announced that a vial of blood from a child from the 50s had been found in a freezer in a clinic in Africa.
The child had died from an unknown disease, but they tested his blood and found that he had died from AIDS!
Mystery solved! Put all suspicions to rest.
Mystery solved by a vial of 30 year old blood that had rested in a freezer in a clinic in Africa for 30 years, and the electricity never went off (see upthread for discussion of electricity in Africa today), and it never was defrosted, and it never was cleaned out of old blood, and someone was still working in that clinic 30 years later who remembered the mysterious death of that particular child, and was able to connect the dots in a way that was used to shut down speculation about the bioweapons program in the US that was working on a virus that could shut down the human immune system, as testified before Congress in 1969.
How convenient.
Do I believe it? No, no, I don’t.
Before that, the story was that some flight attendant had sex with a monkey, and that’s how it all began.
Yes, and then he spread it to San Francisco, New York and Haiti.
I remember a joke from the 80s.
What’s the hardest part about having AIDS?
Trying to convince your parents that you are Haitian.
Oh, and they said that the disease had been in Africa for all those years, but no one ever noticed it, because Africans are so backwards.
But they can keep a vial of blood in good condition for 30 years!
“like a demon riding them through an endless nightmare.”
That’s the actual problem. And I never believed in demons until the last few years. But looking at Brandon and his band of thieves, it’s SO obvious. And OMG Lindsay Graham? They’re all like Batman villains. Caricatures of real people. Demonic. Anyone who doesn’t see it is suspect.
“I never believed in demons until the last few years”
Yes, they are becoming more and more undeniable, aren’t they? In this regard, you and I are part of a tsunami of realization.
Spend some time at VigilantCitizen.com and you can enjoy just how much the PTB and their cohorts and subjects are enslaved by satanism.
VC? Hittin’ the hard stuff Mary…
One of my regular stops when I really need to top-up my rage. But, unlike this intellectual mecca, I drink alone at VC.
Hahahaha! VC is definitely not somewhere to hang out for long. I like it as a reference.
I really appreciate his creating a vault of The Satanic, but at this point I’m actually bored with it, if that makes sense. I mean the PTB have gotten boring, same ol’ same ol’. Shock value only works for so long.
Dictator Zoo would be 100x more entertaining, IMHO.

Does anybody really vote for these pools of demonic excrement? (Sadly yes, and even more sadly, I know some of those deluded voters…)
Between my bouts of laughter, I wonder what “a ring bologna” is.

Let me try to put your mind ….. at ease ?
You are looking at it the wrong way.
When Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA was keeping records on how much a 14 year old girl spends on bubble gum every month the reaction of many people ,
because they are looking at it the wrong way ,
was , ” Who cares about bubble gum expenditures ? Let them amass such mundane data all they like. I haven’t murdered anyone , I’m not running any million dollar drug rings , so I have nothing to hide. ”
As an ex – Stasi man pointed out , the amassing of an encyclopedic amount of mundane data about you is a very useful tool ,
really the only tool needed , to manufacture a tempest in a tea pot that ruins your life.
A 14 year old girls monthly bubble gum expenditures ?
= can be made to make her look spendthrift .
= spendthrift can be spun into corruption.
= And already we are off to the races.
—- A race our 14 year old girl cannot afford.
You might think murder and million dollar drug rings are important ,
and jay – walking isn’t.
But FOR YOU there really is no difference.
You can’t afford to go to jail for jay-walking , any more than you can afford to go to jail for murder.
The effect on your piggy bank is the same.
Likewise , you can’t afford a 500 – dollar – an – hour lawyer for jay – walking , anymore than you can afford a 500 – dollar – an – hour lawyer for murder.
So , like at least 95% of all cases , including the ones that are total bullshit , you will cop a plea regardless.
The plea means a black mark on your resume ever after.
And 90% of prospective employers won’t look past the black mark to see that it is for jay – walking , not murder.
With all this maybe you are still missing the point ?
The point is they ALREADY HAD YOU at social security numbers , drivers licenses , tax returns , finger prints , DNA samples , and all the rest .
They could come after you regardless of whether you said anything , said nothing , or are in a coma.
What you do , or don’t do , is as a practical matter irrelevant.
For those interested another link to Hunter Biden laptop photos:
Ofc, many of the worst ones are censored or absent, such as this one of Ashley Biden posing next to Hunter’s wang post fellatio:

Ashley Biden and her Frankenstein jaw for reference:

This is the First Family. Tip of the iceberg of course (or the wang?).
😀
“Frankenstein jaw”. Reminds me of the Hapsburg chin. Could the Bidets (damn spellchecker) be spawn of that wondrous dynasty? Or is a big chin what you get from fucking your own kids, generation after generation?
Well , as one of only three Emperors in Europe , and the other two were Orthodox ,
even marrying someone of Kingly rank is marrying down.
But then as far as Kings go , how many Kings did Europe have anyway ?
And you have the same problem ; marrying below King rank is marrying down.
In a mere hundred years , even without screwing your literal sister , you are never the less selecting from a rather small pool.
One of the reasons expressions like ” Darwin Awards ” irks me.
” Fittest ” is not a scientific term , it is a value judgement .
Whatever ” fittest ” is , it either certainly is not someone who skipped over that part of Science 101 ,
or ,
that is precisely what ” fittest ” means.
I’ve played Crusader Kings II (but not the gay Crusader Kings III – damn you Sweden!).
I probably know more about the hazards of maintaining a dynasty than anyone living in the 21st Century should know.
Pro-Tip: Genius Hunting
Fittest has a scientific definition. Of course one can devalue science as you seem to be doing. Indeed, maybe science shouldn’t be above philosophy and religion.
Someone may have great value and not be a fit organism in the sense of being able to survive in the jungle, either natural or the jungle of degenerate human society.
You scoundrel , I had to check that out.
Interesting intensive studies of noses and jaws though.
I don’t want to look at her in action again as I saw that horrible picture already, but that jaw is immeasurably worse than poor ‘Duckface’ in Four Weddings and a Funeral (who wasn’t even weird looking in the first place)!
I have a blonde English friend who insisted, when we were student friends, that she had an ‘Anglo-Saxon jaw’ (and ‘a nose like a ski-slope’) – it was pretty convincing (and not like that one).
Is this real or one of those (AI?) deep-fakes?
Deep fake bro, go back to sleep. It is all fantasy.
If the original contents of the laptop are among what I’ve seen on the site I mentioned, they are bad enough without invoking some dubious image.
Ya it is all fantasy sometimes, ay, bro’?
Nah, bro.
Where would it be in this collection? Is this the main one or is there another one?
bidenlaptopmedia.com/index.php?/category/laptop/start-500
NightOwl, the letter/surrounds frame-style of the image doesn’t seem to match with any of Hunter’s ‘iphone’ screen-grabs that I’ve seen so far, nor with anything of the laptop’s.
Furthermore, the girl in the photo doesn’t seem to match Hunter’s apparent preference in women– at all. In fact, I’d say what you have appears almost the opposite of what I’m seeing.
Nearly the entire trove (including this and many other censored materials) were posted on GTV some two years ago. I posted links back then.
There is 0 doubt that the woman in the photo is Ashley. There are also photos with the younger one with the thick eyebrows.
Rationalize it all you want, but this family is absolutely disgusting.
GTV Media Group? Steve Bannon’s? If so, what’s the original GTV trove and/or link for that image? In the one you provided, there’s just a torso of ‘some guy’ and ‘Ashley’ is blanked out a little and so there’s no real indication of who they are. I’ve also not heard anything about this.
I’m in Canada, though, and as you know an anarchist, and so don’t normally follow USA politics, at least not as intently as this, but if what you post is true, that may (also) be illegal under US law.
It is clearly Hunter Biden, and the photo (in its pure form) was part of the original release that you never saw.
I have no need to convince anyone. The image speaks for itself, particularly in the context it was released.
BTW, in the photo, he’s even wearing that stupid bracelet combo he always wears on his right hand.

^ What’s that?
In any case there’s absolutely no evidence I’ve seen so far of even any mention online of Ashley performing the act depicted in the photo.
If you’re in publishing, you should know how easy it is to doctor a photo.
GTV Media Group is apparently defunct incidentally, so your ostensible trove has gone with it.
It’s you.
No idea what that is.
You asked what that was.
“What Mac Isaac said next, though, is what was most noteworthy. When he did his ‘deep dive’, he said, he ‘saw a lot of photos’ — but ‘did not see a lot of photos that are being reported to [have been] seen.’
‘I do know that there have been multiple attempts over the past year-and-a-half to insert questionable material into the laptop as in, not physically, but passing off this misinformation or disinformation as coming from the laptop’, he said. ‘And that is a major concern of mine because I have fought tooth and nail to protect the integrity of this drive and to jeopardize that is going to mean that everything that I sacrificed will be for nothing.’
In other words, Mac Isaac says that he has seen claims about what the laptop contains that don’t actually reflect what he saw on the laptop at the outset. Or, presumably, sees now, as one of the few people that might still have an unlittered copy of its contents.
To what is he referring? It’s hard to say. It may include one of the more popular claims that has circulated on the right, alleging that the machine included evidence of criminal sexual activity by Hunter Biden. (This was alleged on-air by Tucker Carlson last year, without proof.) Or it may involve other claims entirely.
Here’s where The Washington Post’s discovery that folders were added becomes more important. We have evidence that the portable hard drive had something added to it both before and after the New York Post’s original story — and here’s Mac Isaac agreeing that some of what he’s seen presented as coming from the laptop was never on there. This is why provenance matters in journalistic investigations. Just because Rudy Giuliani says that material came from a hard drive is not reason to assume it did — particularly when he’s on-record as disparaging the idea that the material should be vetted before being reported on.” ~ Philip Bump, National columnist, April 12, 2022 at 3:24 p.m.EDT
There is really no way to vet those pics so I would not share them, even though it looks like what N.O. claims.
I will agree that the family is beyond disgusting, just from the other vetted pics, video, and ofc Ashley’s diary, which has also been thoroughly vetted and which I read, cover to cover, 2 years ago.
She did write about inappropriate showers with Joe, she is a nymphomaniac (by her own description) and that plus what we know about the degenerate x 1000 son and their Ukraine bribery/laundering schemes and Biden’s baby-sniffing and biting and fondling in plain sight is enough to say with 100% assurity that the Bidens are absolutely disgusting degenerates.
Understood.
You can’t fake that pic.
Zazelle has moved on to deep fakes because his original claim about random torsos is so easily debunked.
One sees it or they do not. We are not all the same.
😀
Night Owl, I despise those fucking parasite freaks and their whole goddamn systemic dystopia more than you know. It will collapse because it is at odds with too much– as you well seem to know. Take comfort and solace in that. Go make an iced-milk latte with a shot of whiskey and/or strum a few chords on the guitar. You’ll feel better in no time.
Isn’t that first one the self-same shot MTG treated us all to in a Committee Hearing?
” And OMG Lindsay Graham? ”
As a youngster I thought that the idea that the blackness of someones soul could be literally written on their face was bullshit.
Not anymore.
I think of Lindsay Graham as Hillary Clinton with a dick.
You can literally see the shear palpable malice of both in their eyes and faces.
Certainly their eyes and faces do not say , ” Nice Person. “
Agree, KA! Wow, their eyes, right? Utter malice, contempt, craziness. I loved hearing her compared to Graham, yes, I can see it.
Let’s throw Adam Shiff(ty) in there, too. Take a gander at those orbs!
There used to be a show called , ” Clarissa Explains it all. ”
I never watched it even once.
Anyway , time for ,
” Kesa Anna explains everything you need to know about politics. ”
It’s simple , just two rules of thumb.
First rule of thumb ;
Whenever you say to yourself , ” There ought to be a law …. ”
The first , and maybe sole , question you should ask YOURSELF is ,
” Would you be just as happy if your enemies had this same power ? ”
Because history has repeatedly shown that is exactly what will happen ,
and no endorsement is ever so secure as your endorsement.
Second rule of thumb ;
It’s all about power.
Examples ;
” Save the planet . ”
translation ; I want power.
Animals are being abused. ”
translation ; I want power.
” We should keep guns out of the hands of crazy people. ”
translation ; I want power.
” White people suck ”
translation ; I want power.
” Black people suck ”
translation ; I want power.
” Men suck ”
translation ; I want power.
” Women suck ”
translation ; I want power.
And so on , and so on , and so on.
And with these two rules of thumb I think you will find that everything is made very simple , and crystal clear.
The depressing downside however is the inescapable conclusion that this civilization is doomed.
Power is a worse drug that tobacco or Heroin or Crack.
The addict never says , ” I should maybe cut back ” much less says , ” I should quit ! ”
The progression is always a doubling down , a tripling down , a quadrupling down,
and the airplane nose dives right into the ground.
You should expect if you had a time machine to find your descendants living in grass huts and chopping down trees with stone axes , and telling stories around the campfire about Atlantis.
Cooking The Books
Your comment, KesaAnna, reminds me of something I thought about recently:
The idea of the so-called PTB– the Master Chefs let’s say– taking maybe anything on The Menu that needs to be Served and throwing it through a preparation and/or cooking process or various preparation/cooking processes.
You could call it social engineering, political weaponization, agitprop, etc..
—
Climate Change? Prep/Cook it.
A virus? Prep/Cook it.
Your sex/gender/sexuality? Prep/Cook ’em.
Your ethnicity/skin-color? Prep/Cook ’em.
Wars overseas? Prep/Cook ’em.
Your geolocation? Prep/Cook it.
— Whatever aspects of your reality that are on The/Their Menu.
— The catch-of-the-day/month/year/decade.
—-
Once Prepped/Cooked, sometimes people aren’t sure about the original uncooked Menu items anymore– what they were or where they came from and so on.
So some people might respond by ‘tin-foil-hatting it’ and, for example, walking around all day everywhere with an N95 mask on…
While others, perhaps at the other end of the spectrum to tin-foil-hats, might respond by denying everything that’s on The Menu, like, say, climate change, particular energy limits or a particular pathogen.
This is not to necessarily suggest that anyone’s necessarily wrong about their responses, mind you.
Just that the prepped/cooked results can make some things more difficult to objectively perceive, respond to and/or make informed or adequately-informed decisions about.
Yes, Nietzsche’s Will to Power. Or more mundanely, the psychology of Adler who put power (not pleasure) as the fundamental human drive.
You’ve rediscovered the light bulb. Some addicts do quit. See the 12 Step Programs. You remain an addict for all of your life. This is Communion of Sinners, an earthly reflection of the Communion of Saints.
I’m thinking that Nietzsche, Einstein, Adler and/or Darwin, etc. all have contemporaries that students of the former might be inclined to look past and/or become some/a bit of the former for themselves.
Clarification/Correction:
…and/or somehow avoid becoming more of the former’s contemporaries.
Insofar as we might have education as garbage in, garbage out, so education may also manifest as inputs and outputs, minus synthesis.

I would have to say that this is my favourite of a particular Biden category:

Three of the best ideas I ever read on CFN —
— People should be paid to leave the United States .
— Crack and Heroin should be sold in vending machines
— If M.A.D. has any validity , then the formula should be , ” The more , the merrier. ”
— All Elysianfield ideas.
Also , the Bessie Smith video , and the video of the Black Quartet singing Ave Maria really warmed my heart.
But at the time I just never got around to saying so.
Like a fundamentally-infeasible sociopolitical system, a cube-headed dolphin’s head will likely produce enough water-resistance to ultimately doom its existence, or at least seriously threaten it. This is unless it changes its diet and swimming and eating-habits perhaps and maybe groups together with other cube-headed dolphins that do the same. But even then, I have my doubts.
Some things are simply not feasible in nature and I think that the politics that Jim discusses each week is one of them. Not so much a blob, but a cube-headed dolphin.

What depresses the shit out of me about Joe Biden is
I don’t give a shit about the Democrats , or the Republicans , or the United States ,
so it’s not like I’m even paying attention ,
but I knew Joe Biden — and Bill Clinton , Bush the younger , and Ronald Reagan for that matter ,
were total scumbags 30 years ago.
Where is the news in any of it ?
🙁
You know what pisses me off?
I don’t remember if I was scrolling up or down – and it wasn’t that long ago!
Damn you and your hours-long posts! (and strange punctuation, while we’re at it…).
But I gotta say, I do kinda give a shit about the USA.
Same, I talked blue in the face about the Anita Hill hearings, and Biden’s racism, and his sexual attack on Tara Reade… but no one listens.
” She said that the solution to the problem is not sending Africans to Europe, it is getting Europeans out of Africa. ”
— Paula D
Well , my East German experience not withstanding , my initial reaction to George Orwell’s ” 1984 ” was that he grossly over – stated things.
But I was younger then.
Today I would say —- something slightly similar — he was TOO LITERAL.
Truly , the truth is usually the exact opposite of what they say.
My suspicion , likewise , is , the solution to the problem is not sending Africans to Europe, it is getting Europeans out of Africa.
And ,
the solution is not getting Mexicans , Salvadorians , Haitians , and Guatamalans out of the United States. It is getting the United States out of Central America and the Caribbean.
They don’t run those states any better than they run the 50 states.
But then as for , ” They “.
The hero of 1984 spends some time wondering if Big Brother was even a real person , or is it Photoshopped Make Believe ?
More often than not now I doubt the United States government is even American.
Many of them are not; they are Jewish, and are working for Israel or at least not for the USA.
A ‘limited hangout’ is a deliberately-unprepped/uncooked Menu item.
What?
A “Limited Hangout” is pasteurized, processed, blue-check-marked, and hyper-approved for immediate overconsumption.
C’mon Zazz, you know better.
FUD Bistro
I thought a limited hangout was just a small item, a kind of raw piece of meat or other main ingredient or ingredients that they let hang out as a kind of placate for we angry and/or confused, etc., restaurateurs. (FUD is pronounced like ‘food’ by the way.)
Like, ‘You were not supposed to know what was in Our Menu and/or how it was prepped/cooked for your consumption, but we’ll let this raw piece of meat or raw vegetable ‘hang out’ on a plate here for you like dogs that you all are to make you feel like you ‘now know what’s cooking or was cooked and how.’
But what a great name for an anarchist-themed bistro (and thanks for the inspiration).
If the hero of 1984 was thinking about Photoshop…
Well then, that tells us a lot doesn’t it?
You had everything going for you Winston…
I guess you were joking ?
Orwell died in the 1940’s ?
But all that sort of thing was going on well before Photoshop or Gimp.
There is a famous photo of Lenin giving a speech , and just below him on the dias is Trotsky .
After Trotsky became public enemy number one , the same photo looks identical , except Trotsky is no longer there.
Another case ; Stalin and Yezhov were paying an official visit to the Volga Canal project . In the photo Stalin and Yezhov are walking side by side.
After Yezhov was purged , he is no longer in the picture.
Finally Stalin had really bad Smallpox scars , but you can count on one hand the number of photos where his really bad skin is apparent.
Speaking of bad skin and Atheists ,
I read an interview once of the actress Kiera Knightly were the interviewer asks her to name a common knowledge kind of fact that most people did not know about her .
She answered ; Really bad skin.
But with the right lighting , expensive cosmetology , and the occasional airbrushing ,
all folks see is perfect skin.
I used the term , ” photoshop ” to save me a few sentences worth of elaboration.
Other amusing examples of “vanishing cream” being applied to historical photos include shots where Lin Biao, historically praised as Mao’s “close comrade in arms”, reportedly tries to whack the old genocidal fucker, blows it, skedaddles to the skies and is shot down over Mongolia. Magically disappears from photos swith Mao.
30 years later BANG! the squirt is rehabilitated, back in action in the PRC panoply.
Prob is da ni99a dead.

“Impeaching Mr. Garland would surely have a salutary influence on America’s current troubled mental state.”
It certainly would, but on 8/16/22 it was declared by Jonathan Turley that:
“Merrick Garland is a person with unimpeachable ethics and integrity.”
Turley has yet to alter this position.
Turley is starting to piss me off.
Anyone foolish, ignorant, reckless or brave enough to be a tourist in South Afriwakanda shouldn’t be surprised at the colorful cultural festivities.

How does it compare to Chicago?
I wonder, Za, whether the complementary tourist brochures for “Visit the Windy City!” have demarcated the No-Go Zones of Chicongo.
Like the ones from ‘Frisco, which warn about stepping in poo and getting too close to the wandering maniac tribes.
Those are not very good ideas to put in tourist brochures are they?
Lots of Blacks? Is that racist? Yet true?
A questions are a burden to others.
Answers a prison for oneself.
You started it. The question mark in itself is a veritable meat hook, holding and gouging the soul out of the body. Animals never ask why. Neither do the Sages. Are they the same? No. The Sages found the big Answer, the animals have yet to ask. In between is poor humanity, unsure whether to go back to Eden forward to Brahman-Nirvana.
I’ll just repeat my prediction when I was posting under my previous “venuspluto67” handle that I see the endgame here being a military coup for the USA. And not because I think the military are a bunch of bad-guys or anything like that, it’s because I think the incompetence of the political class and the Deep State is such that a military takeover will become the only option that will save the USA from utterly imploding.
Mister Roboto, you on da money, honey.
Who else, apart from the military, has the logistics, bases of ops, firepower and access to quick money?
Just like here in Indonesia in 1965, when the Army saved the Republic.
How soon do you think?
From all I have read it will be expedited as soon as military families begin to suffer: carjacking, gang attacks, nothing to eat in the commissary. It won’t be the generals because they are too close to the politicians and the so-called elite. Angry, ambitious colonels are the usual suspects, setting up a cabal and moving fast and deadly. Oh of course under the guise of “national salvation front” or “emergency military campaign to aid Americans” or “temporary national security health protocol decree”. They won’t even have to call out the tanks. Americans have become so buffaloed, soft and obedient that they’ll just rationalize whatever direction they are pointed. Not all, of course, but that’s what armored vehicles are for.
Within 10 years?
Mr. Roboto,
That sounds like one of the available options to break the obvious political impasse in the USA and the corruption in DC.
After all, we know that the USA is hardly any better than a banana republic.
It might clarify things if we actually dropped the mask, and revealed the reality.
It would also be interesting to see which way Americans with guns would turn.

============
Why did you change your handle? Just curious.
Well, having to go into Hartford for jury duty I’m getting my Big City experience. The night before my first day 3 people were shot — right near the Court House. I was thinking Holy Sh#t I better pay attention to my surroundings and not walk around with my head up my ass or I’ll regret it. After the first day I decided, instead of taking the highway back to my town — which is a madman’s picnic with fiery wrecks every day — I take city streets west and head home that way. I didn’t go 5 blocks before I could see trouble up ahead with numerous police cars all over the place with lights flashing & sirens screaming. Luckily, having worked down here back in the day, I knew side streets that would get me out of the mess. Ct is strange in that it’s so small & compact; you could find yourself in the worst ghetto but a few blocks away you enter a neighborhood with fine, well kept homes. But those type of neighborhoods are getting rarer. Turns out cops were pursuing 2 stolen cars and had one of the cars trapped in a cauldron and ended up shooting one of the car thieves. It was a clusterf#k as you can well imagine. I was hoping things would calm down but yesterday I was hearing murmuring in & around the Court House. Trouble was brewing I could tell. Later I found out there was a rolling gunfight going on thru out the city, two gangs of Honor Students in stolen cars going at it, who eventually ended up in a stand off on the interstate backing up traffic for miles, and resulted with one dead, one wounded. It looks like the great multicultural future is coming to fruition, but the results aren’t good. Just the opposite … civilization itself seems to be unraveling.
Could you get out of jury duty if you wanted to? Or is it some kind of legal mandate? ‘Ct’? Connecticut?
Zaz, I’ve heard of people lying or saying outrageous things to get out of it. That’s not my style, personally. One thing to remember is at the very beginning of the process you raise your hand and take an oath to be honest. Yes, Ct is Connecticut.
That sucks, brh. Hope the case is at least interesting.
What’s that per diem up to these days? Enough to at least cover lunch and gas, hopefully?
I don’t mind jury duty. What disturbs me is seeing up close how far my Capitol City has fallen. I see it on the news every day, but it’s a different matter being in the Belly of the Beast.
BRH,
Outrageous things? Jury nullification has historical roots in this country, and (so I have been told) is the ability to curb governmental power.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification_in_the_United_States
Now, I have a bad attitude, as you might suspect. However, the oath given when empaneled boils down to “Do the right thing…and WE will tell you what the right thing is”. I have long believed that being selected for a jury does not necessarily confer on one a mark of intellectual excellence.
I apologize for my remarks.
In the same vein:
Baker, let me tell you a little secret. A patrolling officer on his beat is the one true dictatorship in America. We can lock a guy up on a humble, lock him up for real, or we can say, fuck it, pull under the expressway and drink ourselves to death, and our side partners will cover it. So no one, and I mean no one, tells us how to waste our shift.
-Jimmy McNulty, The Wire
But was it ever so (any of it???)? Was J Null ever commonly allowed and practiced in THESE United States? Or only in the Gaming Universe, Founding Fathers?
“Was J Null ever commonly allowed and practiced in THESE United States?”
Jarek,
Practiced? Of course. Allowed? Arguable. Is your faith allowed? Do you practice it?
Of course you do.
Oh, like the Blacks just letting Black criminals off because of racism and slavery.
Did we once have the same chutzpah, hopefully at a higher level?
East Asians are more law abiding than we are, with White Collar criminals breaking down in tears in courtrooms. They love money just like we do and when tempted, often fall. They feel more shame and perhaps even guilt than our criminals do. The result of an intact culture perhaps.
They have very little sympathy for the strong arm stuff though. One Japanese killer said he wished he had a knife so he could kill himself. His father said, I wish I could give him one.
Blacks are the exact opposite, with all their killers being good boys who should go free.
When I went in for jury duty, they showed us a film I found very interesting.
They never mentioned the phrase “jury nullification”, but they most emphatically emphasized our ”duty” to obey the judge and to follow the rules that the judge told us to follow.
Then, when I got into the courtroom, the judge repeated a variation of those rules.
So, three times, we were warned against even thinking of the English Common Law right to go against our orders.
The judge dismissed me anyway, for other reasons.
Yes, you do.
And one can be honest by telling the assembled inquisitors (lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats) that one does not believe in the authority, impartiality, sanctity, and legitimacy of the judicial system.
“I will not call you your honor, and I will show no respect for this court room, nor its procedure, as I do not respect the institution”
Got me removed at least twice and didn’t even have to lie.
That is impressive.
Sweet. <3
Twice I’ve been in the jury selection process. Both times I told them I knew and was friends with cops. Bounced both times.
Saint,
I was selected for a Jury after telling the questioner that my brother was the current Chief of Police in the city where the trial was taking place. Go figure.
Fair enough. Just watch the bullets.

=========
What a shame! The “one dead” was probably on the brink of a cure for cancer.
I really just don’t see most people of any stripe going along with something as dumb as a climate lockdown.
We’ve been through the previous stupid one, then there was a mass shrug and off to Arby’s everyone went (if theirs was still in business).
The “educated” people that were so vigilant during “covid” have closed that door behind them quieter than a kid sneaking down the stairs to watch cartoons on Saturday morning.
They knew it was dumb. They did it anyway. Now they hide their participation, knowing everyone remembers what they said and did. Will they really do that all again when they are fed the next campfire ghost story (which most will also know is bullshit)?
Climate? Why in the holy hell would anyone buy into locking down over the weather (beyong staying indoors in A/C when it’s hot, or staying indoors in heat when it’s cold, as is customary)? Would they be willing to pretend they believe a new bogus fairy tale enough to castigate their friends and families again? Over something no one can control?
Some, for sure (we all have that cousin). Maybe.
My buck o’ five is that unless the big boys conjure a Yellowstone Caldera-type climate emergency, these lockdowns will, this time (or the next), be laughed off the table by even the most obedient educated stooges.
The “classically uneducated” already don’t give a shit by the nature of their daily world view, which oddly likely served them well in 2020-2021. No one gives a shit about ozone (hell, you can buy an ozone generator for your living room at Sharper Image). CO2 is part of life, and everyone knows it. NatGas is convenient and generally plentiful, and good ol’ crude makes the world go ’round (though it is obviously being heavily overused by the 99% of the population that, in truth, no matter the bumper stickers on their Subaru, doesn’t actually give a shit).
The academics are mostly pretending at this point, job security and professional inclusion being paramount to individuals, no matter how “smahhht” they may be. Play for the current winning team and enjoy your little slice of history while you’re here. Human nature. Self-preservation first. Give a shit second.
Therefore, I doubt much of anyone will be listening to John freakin’ Kerry when he starts bloviating about how people should be staying home due to “the new climate emergency” that he’s in firm control of preventing for the good of all humanity.
Agree wholeheartedly. Up here in Bomb City, after the usual numerous lab-sponsored official globe trotting activities for “academic research,” the next favorite thing for the local lib tards is jet setting around the country and world for personal travel on the weekends and the generous vacations the lab provides. I’m pretty much a professional house sitter for my newly divorced twenty something neighbor, as she has contractors coming and going all the time to provide long overdue maintenance and updates to her crappy unit, which I don’t mind, as I’m busy on mine as well. But the whirlwind life she leads does amaze me all the same.
There’s only so much “good” that can be done by all this green virtue signaling in the first place, all of which is undone when you plow the efficiency benefits back into even more travel and consumption to take advantage of it, a fact that was proven over the past 30-40 years with ICE vehicles, as all the so-called “efficiencies” gained by computerized technology advances were simple plowed into bigger, more powerful vehicles, which were then driven even more miles.
As Dick Cheney elucidated so well, the American lifestyle is non-negotiable, and it will take one hell of a lot more than some phony climate dictates from the likes of Kerry or any of his fellow current Libtards to put a stop to it.
Since we are speaking of efficiencies, climate, and phony dictates from the government, this would be a good place to post some of what I found when I decided to learn even more about LED lights.
“In 1968, Congress passed the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act which directed the FDA to regulate electronic products and the electromagnetic radiation emitted by those products, including visible light. The FDA created Part 1040 – Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products. The current subparts are 1040.10 – Laser products, 1040.20 – Sunlamp products, and 1040.30 – Mercury Vapor lamps. What is missing is 1040.40 – Light Emitting Diode products.
In 2018, the FDA wrote on its website, “LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are different from laser diodes and are not subject to the Federal laser product performance standard.” The FDA has confirmed that they have the authority and imperative to regulate LED visible radiation by issuing CSMS# 17-000330 – LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED) REPORTING TO FDA on June 6, 2017, which states, “FDA has regulatory authority over radiation-emitting electronic products, which are defined in 21 CFR 1000.3 as any electrically-powered product that can emit any form of radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum. As such, reporting to FDA upon importation of radiation-emitting electronic products is required. LED products emit visible optical radiation, which qualifies them to be radiation-emitting electronic products and gives FDA regulatory authority.”
Any product that uses LEDs is an unapproved, unregulated product which may cause injury, sickness, or death.”

Uh, then like why is his own clone, er, daughter leading renegotiations?
Good question. I imagine there must have been an icy holiday dinner or two in that household while Dick adjusted to fathering a carpet muncher.
The .01% AKA Elite, need flat-climate theory and the attendant restrictions, lockdowns, rationing to prserve THEIR way of life.
It’s their playground after all. We’re just here to service them.
Why as we Speak climate-change spokesman Leonardo DeBorderlinepederast is motoring on a yacht in the Mediterranean with another freshly baked model.
It goes way beyond that, Mango. I’ve been reading about this UN organization — consisting mostly of WEF intellectuals, Billionaire tech investors, climate activists & college professors — whose goal it is to reduce earth’s population from 8 billion to 3 billion BY THE YEAR 2030! These people are deadly serious and they claim that’s what it will take to meet the Paris Climate Accord Mandates and bring the world temp down 1.5°C in the next 25 years. These people ain’t f#kkng around and they have access to power. They also want a reduced standard of living for the US & Western Europe ~ IOW, Whitey. Its seems almost like the German T-4 Program & Blood & Soil philosophy, combined with Pol Pot’s Return to Year 0. There is no irony in their messages either: 5 billion people gotta go to save stabilize the Climate, period.
Perhaps why they are importing a citizenry already habituated to low living standards.
Alex Jones has been talking about this for years. It’s a bit of a natural situation still, what else should we have expected when we as a culture allowed the nerds to take over and make the rules? The top nerds think they can replace a biological carbon based system with a new and better silicon version. Silicon has a lot of structural similarities with carbon and forms similar chemical bonds. Only a nerd living a nerd lifestyle could come up with the absurdities involved in trans-humanism. Shit like this happens when you raise children in artificial environments that look like teletubbie world.
The long emergency will cure all these ills and put an end to all of the nerd dreams, activities, and lifestyles. Gals by that time will have long since taken the rings out their noses will be instead looking for guys that can fix tractors, work in sawmills, make wooden roofing shingles by hand, and guys capable of killing a deer and turning it into canned meat for next year. Nerds will be a forgotten phenomenon of a previous and failed civilization.
Oh yeah, this is for Jarek. Jesus will return and be around by then, and instead of riding mules He’ll be riding motorcycles.
Lower the standards of living for Whites and give the Blacks and Browns generous benefits so that they end up having more. Who will the White girls choose to be with?
That’s at the lower end of the spectrum. In terms of the professions, keep favoring minorities. Who will the professional White women choose to marry?
Once the population is just a jumble of different races with no shared culture or memory, all social capital is gone and with it, all resistance.
That’s not all Jarek.
The baton is being passed in the bureaucracy and the Federal alphabet soup law enforcement agencies.

Well, you are thinking like a rational human being, not like one of the covid death-culters, which there are still obviously plenty around.
If it’s hard for you to imagine, then you may not have heard about sustainability grades which is the next step up from ESGs in corporations, etc. Of course it will be institutionalized. They tie sustainability into healthcare. It’s all recorded in your social credit rating.
Once healthcare is tied up in sustainability (which the average person approves of – if you ever spend time on NextDoor, people try to outdo each other with their “knowlege” of sustainability and kow-towing to it), it’s game over. Add to that CBDCs.
Also: Not saying they will pull it off – but they are trying as I type this right now. And they will do unimaginable damage while trying.
Of course it will be institutionalized.
Will it?
Already the trans thing is starting to lose its impenetrable hard candy shell. It is now more annoying than pretend-annoying to most people. It will go away as an old thing, much like bra burnings, drum circles, and the VW Bus. I hope. That pretty much ties into all of the DEI bullshit that makes no sense to most.
The draconian education bill here in MN got heavily watered down (CRT/QWERTY mandates) right before passing…my guess – the main reason is they probably knew barely any schools would actually implement what the govt (read “progressive morons who’ve never had a private-sector job currently running amok w dreamy Care Bear power”) had hoped for, outside of the urban centers where teachers and admin might actually believe the material, but certainly can’t afford to lose their job in a housing market as ballooned as this one in the cities.
The pendulum may yet come swinging back the other way like a 12-inch rubber floppy dong at a library drag story hour.
Sorry if I’m showing a little optimism, I realize it’s out of character.
People are, as a group, stupid to a point…but then eventually they say “eff this crap”. At least historically. But perhaps we’re in a post-historical society now.
I don’t think we’re quite to WALL-E yet, is basically where I’m going here.
I thought VW buses were pretty cool. Sure, hippies drove them, bit for a few thousand dollars you could have a knock around vehicle you could load the dogs and kids in and drive to the lake. Really, at the time there was nothing like those VW buses.
And if you blew the motor, which was usually only good for 40-60K miles or so, you and a friend could change out the motor and transaxle on a Saturday morning with little more than a floor jack and some jack stands, and be right back on the road partying by Saturday night. I knew a guy that kept two spares in his barn just for such occasions.
Hey, I’ve got no beef with the VW Bus. Just that it’s firmly yesterday, and considered an ironic reference to those under the age of, say 55-60, or a true collector.
The ’79 Chevette that I drove back in high school is in that category now too. Minus the collector part. Cuz damn.
Bra burning must’ve been rather entertaining to watch as well. Drum circles…well, there was a brief time in college, I suppose. But into the contemporary dustbin ya go.
’79 Chevette in high school? Silver-spooner, eh?
Yeah I was fully behind the bra burning movement, was disappointed it didn’t last longer.
’79 Chevette in high school? Silver-spooner, eh?
Oh, totally. You’ve got me pegged.
Except for me this was 1995.
The trans thing was a means to an end.
ESG is firmly entrenched in every institution.
New DEI coordinators are hired every 10 minutes.
And, I will add, it doesn’t matter whether the average Joe is fooled by it or goes along with it. Even corporations who stand to loose billions (hello, Target, Bud Light, etc) by pushing the shit have no say.
These are global directives.
But yeah, we’re not there yet, but well on our way, as no one seems to be able to figure out just how to say no to it all.
I read last week that hundreds or potentially thousands of DEI executives across the nation are being quietly purged as we speak, from companies like Amazon, Netflix, even Disney. I would imagine academia will hold out longer though.
Here’s one:
foxnews.com/media/top-dei-execs-disney-netflix-exit-sparks-criticism-effectiveness-hollywood
brh and Mary – I’m aware of the global directives, and have been amazed to see them come into play over the last 22 or so years. I’m just expressing a little joy that many people at the moment seem to think it’s stupid and not worth their consideration going forward. That doesn’t mean it won’t be, but the tide can shift on these things. I truly think that no one of substance cares about this crap, and many are tired of pretending to do so.
If we can hold that momentum, the globalist garbage will fail, unless they go kinetic (which they do not want to do…they want it to appear to be “our” choice in the history books).
That is awesome news, Mr. Mango. That’s the stuff I like to read. The vigilance should continue as they will attempt to do it through other means.
Maybe they are done with DEI too because the sustainability/climate scores are enough? All I know is, they have infiltrated every single institution, corporation, school, etc. And this is proof they can do that, and pretty quickly. People don’t stop to ponder just how amazing that is, that they could implement, for example, a Covid19 global marketing campaign in a matter of a couple of months. Well, they have the network in place. that’s how.
The victor writes the history books, Mr M. Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates will be the heroes who saved mankind in their history books.

It’s so easy to get the boot there, I am wondering if you lost your account in record time.
In my mom’s neighborhood in the southeast it’s turned into a beggar’s site. Neighbors asking if others nearby can help pay their bills. Explicitly forbidden by the app, but people are doing it anyway.
Mostly it’s supposed to be for “keeping an eye on the neighborhood” and “brining communities together”, but it generally turns into garage sale notices, bitching about the HOA, complaining about someone’s dumpster being out an extra day or uncut lawns, and now, apparently, outright begging.
Yes, it’s turning into that here, too. LOTS of grift. Also lots of shady businesses taking people for a ride.
And it does follow gov’t “rules”, so the only reason I use it is for asking about local stuff like a good restaurant or salon. It’s great for giving away stuff you don’t want, or picking up something for free someone else is getting rid of.
Also people report every time they see a bobcat or go on a rant about people not picking up their dog’s poop, etc.
Oops. *bringing
Though brining might make sense for some of these folks…a lot of boxed wine going through the register in some of the country’s regions.
Actually, the Pentagon and its charges are largest consumer of petroleum products in the U.S.—perhaps the world ranking has them at the top as well?
Maybe this is their way of saying it’s more important that We (they) are assured of always being first in line at the local gaseria? Or anywhere else. That seems to be the overriding game after all.
“Boom! Boom! Pew! Pew! Pew! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
Can we all agree that the phrase Democratic Party is a misnomer? Easily remedied by eschewing the adjective form (Democratic) and instead replacing it with the simple and accurate “Democrat” (Party). They deserve no better.
I always call them the Democrat party. In part, because as you say, it is more appropriate. Secondly, because it pisses them off, and that’s always a win.

I am not convinced, and I know about DEW.
The writer of this story predicts that we won’t have an election in 2024, and gives his reasons. I must say they are persuasive.
he compares Trump to Imran Khan. We can compare Khan to Julian Assange. Thus, we can compare Trump to ASsange. And the Niger president who is now in captivity, under dramaticsally deteriorating physical conditions. The junta wants him to sign a resignation document. He refuses to do so.
Not unlike Trump refusing to promise not to run.
What is the diff here? Why can’t “it happen here”? After all, the USA is said to be behind the Khan coup; was definitely behind the Ukraine doup; and may well be behind the Niger coup.
Maybe “color revolutions” are just too much trouble now.
Actually, it seems like we have already had the coup. Now it is being cemented with lawfare.

Hawaiian officials were warned about wildfires on Maui, critics say, years ago.
Oh boy, here goes the blame games.
In today’s world, government exists not to help the folks, but to get re elected. Warning the government about anything goes in one ear and out the other. Government today is the largest con job and Ponzi scheme in history.
There you go, Ponzi scheme. Absolutely!! An ever expanding Ponzi scheme that keeps expanding seemingly without limit, Instead of capital pool running out of funds, which gets the funds in trouble, the government just writes it into the national debt.
Can you imagine running a house hold where 40 percent of expenditures were put on credit cards?
I think what we are seeing over and over again is a JHK prophesy many years ago. That is that government will lose its effectivity and that lapse will be a major component of The Long Emergency.
It has always been like this; govt has always been a racket. That’s why the chief complainers invariable out themselves as previous devout believers.
And like MQ says, leadership will continue to pursue their objectives even in the face of mounting resistance because *that’s what they do*.
The only cure is an opposing state level force that can marshall equal manpower & resources to deliver sufficient lethality to cause a hard stop.
Which once again gets back to advising viewers of the ongoing domestic drama to shift focus to the broader front in the emerging multi polar world.
The US/West has lost the conflict. WEF, Gates et al can continue to entertain themselves with sweet dreams of global conquest, but the game is over.
That means the masses “won”, but I don’t think anyone is really going to enjoy these particular spoils of victory.
Maybe that Oracle dude who stole Lanai from the Hawaiians can rebuild it

Just Googled that. I wasn’t aware that Ellison had bought the whole damn island lock, stock, and barrel. There should be a law against that kind of thing. Maybe they should force him to live on it at least 335 days of the year?

It is disgusting and scary that 100% of the GOP candidates are pro Deep State with DT being the only one that openly threatens the Deep State.
That is why a third party is a necessity and meaningful change will not occur without one.
RFK, Jr. is more of an Anti Deep Stater than the GOP candidates. That is sick.
JAZ I thought you were coming around, but these butthurt relapses aren’t a good look.
The civil rights, voting and immigration acts were implemented over 60 years ago and have worked exactly as planned.
Here’s a piece of friendly advice: mentally walk away. It’s a complete waste of mental energy dwelling on what is.
Rather, elevate your POV and start thinking through how/what you’re going to do as the era of dollar hegemony comes to an end.
We already have indications as the dollar continues to decline vs the peso and inflation is beginning to ramp up.
How does this effect the social situation with respect to not only regular economic crime, but pyschotic outbursts in the general population, and of course rampant drug use and homelessness.
The point is the future is already here; complaining about the past is fruitless.
Ole JAz-hands still believes in politics.

Pirsig had a history of mental illness and was somewhere on that infamous spectrum of genius and lunacy
That doesn’t mean he is wrong.
The system is broken and it makes broken outputs
Yes Edge Lord, Pirsig was a genius. So much so that he fell into what lesser intellects tend to call mental illness – his genius so high that he suffered for it & from it.
Well, JAZ goes back and forth. He gets it and the backslides into not getting it. Since it’s constant, I’ve learned to expect it.
This is so true.
And I mean that in the nicest way possible.
JAZ is a good man.
John,
What are your thoughts on Vivek? Some here think that he’s running on myriad limited hangouts (even questioning the official 9/11 fable!) in that-could-get-you-killed opposition to the WEF/Deep State.
They claim that Vivek is going completely against standard WEF m.o. … with no imagined motive and while he legally sues to have his name removed from WEF’s YGL list … but he’s some sort of limited hangout salesman waking some sheeple for no imaginable reason.
Does that make sense to you? Vivek is WEF?
Personally, I claim that these accusations and allegations appear to be half-baked at best.
How much is his campaign paying you?
I wish. I could use some cash flow.
No, for the integrity of the board, I’m just working against half-baked accusations and allegations that ridiculous claim Vivek is a gone-rogue WEF double-agent limited-hangout salesman. Hahaha.
Edgy, you don’t buy that lameass theory, do you?
John, I look forward to your thoughts on Vivek.
Being new to the comments section but already referring to our very apt conjecture as ridiculous and lame-ass claims is hardly a good way to start.
How about you prove Vivek is salt of the earth?
I calls ’em as I sees ’em. That’s what we’re all here for, right?
I never claimed that Vivek is the salt of the earth. I know very little about the guy. You and your strawmen, Mary. Do they ever cease?
You are the one with the posted lameass accusations and allegations, not me. And, yes, Vivek being a gone-rogue WEF sheeple-waking, double-agent limited-hangout salesman is, most assuredly, lameass. Clearly.
It’s ok to admit that you are wrong and learn from your errors, Mary. That is growth. Embrace it.
Okay, everyone.
I have very little hope that the USA I grew up in will ever show up again.
I believe that the Uniparty has shaped the populace so that the lousy Wokesters and gimmes (my term) are in control, total control.
Looking at the electorate, 30% Dem, 30% GOP (actually 10% Tea party and 20% RINO) and the rest independent. Thus the independents elect the lousy electors we have. The independents are mostly in the pocket of the Deep State.
The Deep State controls the DC scene, the federal judiciary, most of the state and local judiciaries, the media, all of the large city governments.
As I have repeated many times, it is rhyming with 1856, where Dems and Whigs were just as useless and Uniparty as today with the issue being states rights and slavery.
A new party was created as a third party. It changed the direction of history, when Lincoln won four years later.
Lots of CFNers ask, what can be done?
Well, maybe a genuine third party can rip this piece of crap government apart as it did in 1860.
You all chide me over my suggestions? I hear nothing from you. Just the continuous drone of bitching with no solutions.
And BTW, if anything can save what is left, it will be a political solution or war.
OK that was a test to see why you’re really here.
Pretty clear now, just to start shit and distract people on little stupid topics like some lame-ass politician no one GAF about.
Sounds like a Tekapo reboot.
Oh yeah, Vivek.
Typical politician, he is emulating Trump, which is fine with me.
However,
I saw him this AM doing Rap music, which I think is abhorrent. Is he kowtowing to all the influence groups, flip flopping according to who is in the crowd? If so, just more of the same.
Trump, at least, ripped into the same folks regardless of where he was. It cost him many votes, but he had the guts to tell it like it is.
This stuff is getting pretty funny. I think regardless of whether he is “rejecting WEF,” his past is full of grift.
Guys like that don’t change their stripes.
He’s got the sociopath eyes, too.
Ok, that was a test to see if you have the ability to admit that you are wrong when you are obviously wrong.
I thought so.
You call people simply asking for information “lazy” yet deem me as the stirrer of shit? Narcism is so unattractive, Mary.
MQ, re Zonk:
“Sounds like a Tekapo reboot.”
Spinnst Du?
John,
There is a meme extant on the ‘nets that suggest that you can vote your way into communism, but you have to shoot your way out.
I, of course, don’t believe a word of it….
Third party? Yeah….
MQ: “Being new to the comments section but already referring to our very apt conjecture as ridiculous and lame-ass claims is hardly a good way to start. ”
Who the hell is the “our” that has made the “very apt” (i.e., approved by MQ) conjecture?
Not me, that’s for sure.
“Our” = MQ.
What a joke.
A typical verbal habit of hers, as when she makes “we here all knew that [hence you are a dolt and also not part of “us here”]” types of statements.
Divisive, and untrue.
As far as I can see, MQ stands alone in her constant putdowns and crude insults directed toward other commenters new and old.
And, BTW, the idea of MQ putting herself forward as a judge of any commenters “credentials” or the validity of anyone’s “start” and as a spokesperson for an imagined “CFN us” is risible.
Thank you for that, Islander. While admittedly being new to CFN, I am not new to boards. I was posting on bulletin boards via a 2400 baud modem in the early 1990s.
This queen here? She is just plain rude.
Stop clutching your pearls L Rond 2.0
One of the great strategic blunders for future historians to ponder is why did the cosmopolitans who engineered the decline of the West believe the resulting embarassment could prevail against Russia?
Ask yourself this question: would the outcome have been any different if a USA/NATO (UK, FR, D) combined force – comprised of heritage populations as they existed in 1965 – taken the field and fared better?
The answer of course is no, as the USSR already demonstrated against Nazi Germany in the largest combined arms battles numbering in the millions for all the world to see.
Wait, strike that, because in the USA, the sheep were taught that our glorious offensive through the hedgerows against a 95% degraded force was the crowning achievement of WW2.
So, what were the nationless people thinking? We know they’re not stupid, so what’s the greater game? Can they maintain dual citizenship with Russia or China as their base of operations?
Barring a massive upset, future historians will be AI and it will write whatever TPTB want it to “ponder.”
Much of the history coming from the academic world is fake and loaded with political agendas and political propaganda. I don’t worry much about AI. That particular electronic beast dies the very instant something or someone interrupts its power source or its electric tit. An unreliable electric grid plagued by supply line breakdowns and issues related to national poverty and bankruptcy will mercilessly kick AI’s ass. The very idea of it will fade away into the ghost of yet another expired fad that made fools of many people and wasted a lot of time.
Ya think? AI isn’t BitCoin.
Personally, I believe that AI is the very heart of the beast system prophesied in Revelation.
AI will be given all the juice it ever needs. Your deep freezer may go without power (mine too) but their AI will be running on the generators of TPTB 24×7, I think.
@ mitchellc:
“…why did the cosmopolitans who engineered the decline of the West believe the resulting embarassment could prevail against Russia?”
I may be way off, but my take is that an ignominious defeat–or series of them–was, and still is, the plan. The West–both the US and Europe–are to be reduced to rubble, or something like it, mainly through internal disorders fomented by their seething urban “minority” polutions. In the US, the outcome will likely be Balkanisation. In the former USSR, the resulting fragmentation facilitated asset-stripping by international oligarchs, and that is thus what the “cosmopolitans” foresee in the US. They’ll grab the resources for pennies on the dollar.
Russia does seem to be the wild card here. To me, it seems like taking down Russia is essential to the Globalists’ plans for world domination. Thus far, this is not working. Maybe they think they can destroy Russia from within? Putin won’t be around forever, so you have to wonder if Russia’s future leadership will be equally effective in resisting the Globalists.
I don’t know where China fits in. Seems to me, the best thing the Globalists could do re China is make a deal to cut them in somehow.
Anyone caught this? Been stuck in my head and was picking it out today at home on the gitfiddle.
This guy is incredible (Oliver Anthony, Rich Men North of Richmond):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqSA-SY5Hro
That is awesome. I am going to share that with family & friends right now. Thank you.
This peformance gives me chills.
He’s an incredible performer, yes. Massive talent.
If he said hi to you on the street, you would ignore him. Of now that he’s famous changes everything.
Jarek – as people would anyone else. That’s called being normal. People say hi, you nod and keep walking. Unless you’re in line or sitting somewhere for a while (or in North Minneapolis, in which case you run). Even then, most choose not to engage any stranger unless they’re bored.
And 8M views on YouTube does not equal famous. Though I’d imagine there are a few music producers seeking him out right quick to cash in if he blows up for real.
I like his message and he’s got the right attitude. Not exactly Chris Stapleton in the genre, but great to see a talented guy saying what needs to be said and getting views.
Since we’re moving tangential anyway…speaking of Stapleton, you wanna hear a true American voice:
youtube.com/watch?v=F0hdQ7latVY
Depressing song, but live and real. No studio enhancement. Some people (very, very few) have just got it all at their disposal.
Awesome. Seems to be blowing up. That is so cool, his guitar is like a banjo and guitar hybrid.
I wonder if the ghouls will blast all over that it’s “racist” and “white supremacist” and try to shut it down like they did that guy’s song “Try that in a small town.” (Sorry forget name of artist).
If he like being White, is that supremacist?
Jason Aldean
I had to look him up. Turns out he was playing when the attack on the country music people in Las Vegas started.
That is interesting.
Yeah, it’s a Gretsch resonator.
Thanks, never heard of that. I have to tell my sister about it, she is learning banjo after being a guitar player for a long time, why not combine ’em?
I started teaching myself clawhammer (a banjo technique) for acoustic guitar about a year ago, but I am mostly a rocker.
I do love acoustic picking though, especially country blues or Applachian styles.
I like it raw.
I like Anthony’s playing.
“I like it raw.”
Owl,
How long have you been out of country. The new expression for elemental, country folk and blues, is “raw dog”
Tell all your buddies that you are changing your style, and want to be know as being “raw dogged”….
Trust me on this….
Excellent!
I just heard of Oliver Anthony for the first time today, over at The Daily Skeptic.
There is an embedded video, and the article is worth reading:

Nice! Good writing.
Ah, there is hope yet. Fire on the mountain in this young feller.
My advice: Oliver, keep yer powder dry and head held high until those
hornets start to whistle by on the wind. Because your voice is h.e.a.r.d.
Thanks for this, Night Owl. I’ve been picking and stringing my own songs together for over 60 years and this young man just whupped my ass for the kind of anthem I always aspired toward, but never got to, try as I might (have.)
Amen.
Sadly, the sharks are already circling him. Both critics, and those who hope to exploit him for political gain.
I’d advise him not to give up what makes him special: His regionalism, ruralism – and the natural loves and yes, the hatreds that accompany them.

They incinerated Paradise, and a bunch of other small CA towns, then they moved onto Canada. Who knows where they will strike next.
What they mean, of course, by Americans “waking up” (as if there is anything we could do if things have gotten so bad that towns spontaneously burst into flames) is that we decide to give up everything to Save The Planet. Details coming soon!*

Referring to your comment above, words have power, magic, and mystery. I’ve built my vocabulary over the decades, and I enjoy using it, having fun with it. Jape me all you want as your posts remain jejune, link filled, and almost totally unimaginative.
You’re flat, flimsy, flavorless, and certainly no force majeure with words or probably anything else for that matter.
If I hadn’t hit a chord, you wouldn’t bother following me around and insulting me, would you?
You’ve such a strange m.o. I’ve been on many boards but never seen anything quite like you. You insult, belittle and try to get under posters’ skin and then you gloat once you have. Very strange indeed.

I like your alliteration, tucsonspur. I frankly find it fantastic for forty-four fortnights.
The New Sock must be doing assessments now.
“You’ve such a strange m.o. I’ve been on many boards but never seen anything quite like you. You insult, belittle and try to get under posters’ skin and then you gloat once you have. Very strange indeed.”
Which is why I have on occasion called our Queenie trollish. In fact, given the level of hostility and free-ranging aggression she expresses, it has crossed my mind that she may be a drag queen.
It’s just O.G. venting his rage again.
People who can’t adequately operate in normal society, such as Islander, O.G., Jarek, and slur, really seem to dislike me.
Obviously, that’s fine with me. Considering the source and all that.
Imagine someone reading post this out loud.
I once recall the actors from Star Wars: A New Hope describing how challenging (and absurd) it was to read Lucas’s bizarre lines in a way that seemed authentic and didn’t have everyone on set bowling over with laughter.
A ham-fisted cry for acceptance.
Unfortunately for him, slur doesn’t have millions of dollars and isn’t famous, so no one has to pretend he’s a good writer for fear of losing their jobs.
IDK, those Hallmark contracts might pay big.
Notice how slur & O.G. managed to shut down any discussion about Bobby Kennedy and his love for zionists.
LOL.
Now that is some stellar trolling.
Marc Fabre, ensconced comfortably in Chiangmai, Thailand, once said that he would step up and lead, but for the fact that Woke Culture in the West is not worth saving.
Why would any sane person risk everything to save a mendacious, corrupt society of people who lie all of the time to others and to themselves under the deranged delusion that they’re trying to create a “Utopia”?
“ The world keeps changing its definition of what a man is, and most of us are confused about this shifting target. It’s easy to want to give up, to throw in the towel and simply choose to be less. But that doesn’t work, either. Refusing to step up and lead in an increasingly chaotic and confusing world isn’t the answer.”
“The Warrior Poet Way”, John Lovell
In the movie “Saturday Night Fever”, Tony Manero (played by John Travolta) believed that he could find Salvation and Redemption as a Man by winning the big disco dancing competition at the Brooklyn disco and by making it with the ethnic Italian Brooklyn chick, Stephanie. But, in the end, like his brother Frank, the former Catholic priest, he realised that it was all an illusion….
“ Men were meant for more. And yet, everywhere we look, we are being asked to be less. As society tempts us with pleasure, comfort, and security, we can be quietly lulled into passivity, giving up the fight for what we know to be right.
We do this because it is easy—for now. Like the biblical Esau, we exchange our birthright for a temporary meal, surrendering the fight of our lives for something safe and predictable. And although we play nice, many men rage inside, knowing what fools we’ve been, settling for less than our true inheritance. It is an ideal we are after. Men want purpose, respect, and significance—something noble and worthy of their strength.
But the world doesn’t present us with a tidy package of what that ideal looks like, does it? How should I be, as a man in the world today? More sensitive and kind? Stronger and more stoic? Should I be a lover or a fighter? Is my aim to become a great war captain, like King Leonidas, or should I exchange the sword for a pen and model myself after Shakespeare?
What makes a man great? His creative, romantic side; or his bold, sometimes reckless sense of daring? These are both noble ideals, but they are wildly different.
Or are they?”

Upcoming Verizon commercial:
Scene: Mom and dad in the foreground, with dad patiently explaining why they need the hapless Glenn from work to move in with them to get the discount on their new wireless plan, while Junior and Glenn inflate an air mattress in the background.
Mom: You fucking dolt! I just signed us up with Verizon for $21 a month per line guaranteed for three fucking years! Tell me again why I keep your stupid ass around?
Dad: Ok Glenn, that’ll be enough. Honey, get the gun out of the closet and I’ll call 9-11. The cops will be here in 5 minutes, Glenn, to confirm that we shot you lawfully, at which time you’d best be long gone.
Son: But dad! You said Glenn could be my bitch!
Dad: Calm down son. I’ll be your bitch again until we can find you another one.
Son: Well ok, I guess. But you’re going to have to do more than just lay there and sweat this time.
Mom: That’s right, son, take a lesson. You’ll be a full grown bitch yourself one day soon, and you don’t want to turn out like your father.
Everyone has the potential to great in their own unique way. I think it’s actually the uniqueness that makes for the greatness. Best not to be expecting your greatness to be acknowledged during your lifetime. In fact you will probably endure quite a bit of humiliation. But, as I used to say about one of my old buddies after he died: “There has passed a glory from the earth.” I have another former neighbor who is a contender in the greatness department. One of my aunts also fit the bill, as does a local woman.
These are/were all very ordinary people. They’ve done extraordinary things in their sphere, as a carpenter, a farm wife, a market gardener, or a licensed grower of marijuana. But the main thing they did was to be entirely and unequivocally themselves.
Too many people today are afraid to be who they are.
If you consider the saints, you’ll notice that there are all kinds: everything from intellectuals and executive types to people who were very simple and ignorant. You even have a warrior type here and there, like Joan of Arc. Many of them were not extraordinary at all, from a secular standpoint. But they were all unique.
I suspect that the mere ability to be who you are (which is most often not saintly in itself) is a thing that can’t be achieved without a certain level of spirituality–some kind of connection with God that most people don’t seem to have.
Amen, Anthea! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve finally begun to realize those things as well. You have to set yourself free from all the societal programming, turn inward, and just let yourself be. Or as Joseph Campbell was famous for saying, “Follow your bliss!”

Captain Cook, smiling affectionately, mildly inebriated and amorous as bedtime approached: “Com’ere, ewe!”
Interestingly, although the series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea spanned 4 seasons and 110 60 minute episodes, only one dealt with mermaids. I figured there would have been more.
Instead, the series focused on such themes as the cold war, alien invasions, and time travel. Sci-fi and political intrigue.

Strawmen as far as the eye can see.
That isn’t a straw man, Zonk.
Have you stopped beating your wife?
Why do so few actually know what a strawman argument is, yet toss the word around with such frivolity?
From wikipedia:
A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.
Ironically, you even use the knowing of the meaning of strawman as a strawman.
That is not a straw man, Zonk.
A straw man is when you summarize an interlocutor’s argument into a form that is easy to knock down–like a metaphorical man made of straw.
The definition you dredged up is from Wikipedia, the first stop for people allergic to learning.
Night Owl is correct.
No. A strawman is putting forth a lame case on behalf of your opponent and then easily debunking and even ridiculing it (like it was his/hers). This strawman may be either regarding the discussion or a a diversion. Mary deploys both types regularly.
I actually don’t, O.G., oops I mean “Dr. Zonk,” but keep on lying as you always have.

httpX://7esl.com/straw-man-fallacy/
“The straw man fallacy is a type of fallacy which is used as a way of attacking the argument of the opposition. This is a tactic which is often used in areas that involve heavy debate such as in politics or other types of controversial debates. The speaker or writer will deliberately misinterpret the view or opinion of the opposition as a way of making their claim much more easy to refute. The speaker or writer may often make their opponent’s argument much more simple than it is in reality, making it easier to tear apart. Quite often the straw man fallacy will omit any important points and only argue against those which are more easy to refute.
The straw man fallacy is made up of person 1 putting forward a claim or argument and person 2 then creating a view of that argument or claim which is distorted, this is the ‘straw man.’ Person 2 will then attack the distorted argument which they have created as a way of refuting the original claim made by person 1.
Straw Man Examples
As we mentioned earlier on, the straw man fallacy is widely used within the English language especially in areas of high or controversial debate such as politics.
In order to fully understand the concept, it is important to see the straw man fallacy being used in a conversation. For this reason, we are now going to take a look at some examples of how the straw man fallacy might work in day to day conversation.
In the War On Christmas, which is a popular controversial debate, we see an example of the straw man fallacy when person 1 says “I think that the Christmas concert should include not only traditional Christmas songs but also songs that are not related to the holidays.” In response to this person, 2 says “You just won’t be happy until you have banned traditional Christmas songs altogether.” We can clearly see that the original claim was not intended to ban traditional Christmas songs altogether but person 2 has used this small detail to completely refute person 1’s claim.
A recent and famous example of the straw man fallacy comes when we take a look at a claim made by Elon Musk when talking about self-driving cars. He stated, “self driving cars are a natural extension of safety and clearly something that we should do.” His opponent in this discussion retorted with “those types of cars are not safe! Did you not hear about the self driving Uber car which killed a person in the state of Arizona?” Whilst this does mention the use of self driving cars it in no way relates to the original claim made and has used a tiny detail (the self driving car) to discuss a tragic incident related to this, therefore allowing the opposition to refute the original claim entirely.
Let’s now imagine a fictional scenario in which a married couple have spent the day apart due to work commitments, they return home and the husband says “hurry up and make my dinner” to which the wife replies “you only want me when I’m doing something for you.” This has nothing to do with the original statement made by the husband, who has said nothing that would suggest he only wants his wife when she is doing something for him. The wife has used this counter argument as a way of attacking her husbands original statement.
A very famous example of how people might use the straw man fallacy is when talking about the theory of evolution. This is something that has separated the opinions of people for a very long time and by using the straw man fallacy, those taking part is debates are easily able to refute the claims of their opponents. For example is a scientist were to say “evolution allows us to explain how various different animals have adapted, developed and diversified over a period of millions of years.” When his opponent hears this, he might reply with something along the lines of “If we are, as you say, evolved from a monkey, why do monkeys still exist today? Why do we not have three arms? Would that not give me an advantage competitively speaking?” The opponent has selected certain, irrelevant points from the original statement as a way of bringing down the claim and attacking the opposing view. The original claim did not mention that humans came from monkeys, it simply mentioned evolution yet the opposition made this claim to refute it.

So, I think the Queen does use some straw-man arguments—but many of her ripostes are just pointless hostile jabs that don’t respond to discussion points at all and just end up quashing discussion.

Welcome to Team Islander, Q.
Is this the new combative, Q.?
He’s always been an asshole, actually.
I poke MQ and she loves it. Another squabble she can enjoy.
The biggest squabbler by far is you over peoples’ supposed grammar mistakes and typos. Of course, most here know you suck at that about as bad as you suck at taking care of your brother in law (if he even exists).
Nice attempt at projection, though.
You’re so classy.
Q, I would enjoy seeing an editing contest between you and MQ.
We could keep it simple for your sake: spelling and grammar only. Or even just spelling.
What do you say?

I am not exaggerating when I say I could barely turn the damn thing on. I feel like I’m being driven mad by technology.

There’s no question that cell phones are extremely useful for various purposes but they have become a sickness. When you are out in public (on the street or in a restaurant) 9 out of 10 people are holding or staring into a cell phone. People eating at the same table do not interact with one another. Both stare into their phones. It’s a friggin’ sickness.
People in a line of cars stopped at a traffic light are engrossed in their phones. The light turns green and there is always one asshole who sits there as others pull away. I blow my horn angrily and make wild angry gestures hoping the asshole will see me in his/her mirror.
We’ve got a bunch of young ladies living in the A Unit down the way, and I’ve noticed that they ALL, every single time, when they pull up in their car stay in with the motor running for up to a half hour or more while they complete their texting or other online conversations on their smart phones. In contrast, when they get out of the car they keep their heads down and make a beeline for the door, presumably to take them up again, no matter what might be going on around them.
Looking for the dopamine hit of likes. Think of rats pressing levers for pellets.
Yes. It would seem so.
You ain’t the only one, Q! The fact that you managed to swap out sim cards shows you have a better than average handle on things. I don’t even know how to beak into mine without destroying it, which would be my primary goal anyway should I go that far. I’ve got a work i-phone, and the most remarkable “feature” I’ve noticed by far is its pathetically short charge life. A real energy hog.
beak = break

Not really, Dis. It was a tech savvy lady friend of my wife who knew about and performed the switching of SIM cards. I, actually, wouldn’t know a SIM card from 3rd base.
LOL! Ain’t that always the case? See the new Verizon commercial above.
What about Land lines? Why not embrace this old technology as a form of communication?
Retro, Trad Wives, Snail Mail, Kitsch – all pop and ridiculous covers for our unbreakable will to survive and our deadly intent to triumph over our enemies.
For faster communication, Ham Radio on pre-selected frequencies. Do they still have telegrams?
I thought about that already, but I’d have to pay through the nose to retrofit my old place. All of the land line stuff is pretty much gone now.
I have a land line. However, technically it isn’t really a land line, because it gets its signal from a modem. The phone is plugged into the modem. But the modem is connected to a Comcast (ugh) line. Somewhere. But there is no copper line that goes from this building and from my apartment and connects to the telephone exchange. (At the current time I am not even getting a Wifi signal from the bastard which I am paying for. I have use an ethernet cable. Don’t even ask—the tech as here for hours and was unable to figure out why my laptop suddenly cannot pick up the Wifi signal.)
So if the power goes out, I have no phone service. This is/was one of the great features of land lines: They worked when the power went out.
Unfortunately, many, many of the copper wires have been dug up and removed, and there is no land line to connect a telephone to. Some older neighborhoods and cities still have them. It would be too disruptive to dig them up. For instance, Salem, Mass., still has copper land lines.
Damar Hamlin played an NFL exhibition game for the Buffalo Bills today.
He was a marginal player to begin with. My guess is the Bills brought him back for political/PR reasons, and will find a way to dump him before the regular season begins.
Likewise. I think they’ll offer him some kind of PR job to cushion the blow and try to make some hay out of the situation. He was bloviating yesterday that his coming back proves that “you can do anything.” Yeah, right. More feel good woke shit.
They never found out what stopped his heart, what defect exists. When it happens again and he dies, boy oh boy is the blame game going to start.
At least he will not suffer the trauma of CTE.
For decades Christ Scientists have been mocked for declining inoculations commonly accepted as prudent health management. Though criticized as being unscientific, such “opting out” wasn’t politically weaponized for character assassination (“cancellation” is the revised jargon).
Now though, we’ve got an updated version of the Senator Joseph (Joe) McCarthy led HUAC political circus of the early 1950s, worked to cancel open dialogue by fear of being branded a Commie.
Today’s equivalent is a smear tactic montage of dialogue disrupting epitaphs, among which are the now decades long standing “bombs” of racism, sexism, homophobia,…ad infinitum ad hominin.
Ah, the genius of psycho ops today; quasi-religious/metaphysical overtones no less life vs death, good vs evil, salvation vs damnation.
Opt in or opt out, expanded implicitly to issue of one’s mortal soul.
McCarthy was a hero. His biggest error was underestimating the level of Communist infiltration. And of course thinking it all came from Russia when it fact it came from Manhattan, Wall St to be exact.
— “Among these are The People of the Blob, the folks infesting the high ranks of our government’s permanent bureaucracy, which has turned so viciously against the governed.”
Apparently. And yet in some ways it is difficult to sympathize with the governed. The governed live within a system created by violence and brutality. They are not unaware of that. So is it now a surprise that such a system would in turn brutalize and use violence against its subjects? Perhaps theirs’ is wishful thinking. The purpose of technology is control. Unless you’re willing to go in the opposite direction then it is likely the panopticon noose simply tightens.
Wow you get a gold star as another fine example of a patient hopeful throwing off the mental chains to recognize the patent truth.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. A former colony built, developed and expanded by terror and violence, born of a pirate county itself the result of conquest.
Did anyone actually care? Hell no, not as long as they were the cowboy. But no one wants to be the Indian, which is why now there is so much angry screeching about “muy ‘constitutional’ rights”.
But this is how it goes in the ring; eventually a new challenger, cut from the same cloth, comes forth to kick the former king to the curb.
Yes. The SSL is in fine form with this one.
Speaking of cowboys, I cannot possibly pass this one up.

Yes, nature is horrible. You don’t want to be the herbivore or the Indian. Winning matters. Let’s win.
The above trumps all of Mitch’s endless verbiage. As Jefferson said, survival is the first morality. Mitch is the deer that identifies with the wolf; the White who identifies with the minorities who hate him.
Is it a real gold star?
Human pathologies will always be with us and as history has demonstrated some of those pathologies most frequently are acted out under the guise of virtue and duty. Recognition of this reality is why the documents and process of our republic were so established. the frame is “process” rather than a serving of Utopia on the half shell. No magic — in other words — just intellectual integrity, courage and determination.
It seems like the pathologies are having a greater influence than the process. But it could also be a cyclical thing. As the process wanes the pathologies wax? Sounds bizarre lol but I think you get what I’m saying.
Justice is the issue. Justice for (all) the people.
It is never about (offering) sympathy for anyone.
That’s just the thing about it. There can’t be justice for all. Even though that is an ideal. It appears that when when some people or groups are getting “justice” others are receiving injustices. And then things may shift around but it is always in a state of flux.
America is white people, black people and the third thing called a government
The Gov is either an oppressor (bane) or a boon (A Liberator) meaning one who is interested, dedicated and aligned to maximising Justice for all.
No one is asking for perfection here from the US Gov i.e Justice for all.
Just something good enough for the majority of white folks and the majority of blacks folk to settle down and for the nation, together, to get on with a constructive life.
The remaining local problems can be sorted out by the common sense of the people.
Alternatively, all the shrinks have left town and now so has the pressure to be a bright Sunday bitch.
One of the laughable hypocrisies of Americana culture is “pro-life” A perfect example being the mentally ill. People whom in many ways are treated like disposable human garbage. But sure, all lives matter, including the unborn. More like perhaps some people love to inflate their moralistic egos to compensate for their astounding empathy deficits.
You’re really cutting close to the bone this morning, SSL! You doin’ alright over there in swamp land?

Long ago, mentally Ill folks were put into institutions to get them off the streets. The asylums were nightmares as few people knew what to with miswired or drug addled brains.
Like prisons today, the affordable infrastructure for the mentally ill crumbled and new structures were not built in lieu of the upsurging liberal causes spending money on welfare and buying votes. Eventually the government shut down the asylums and put the patients on the street. The public outcry was very muted so it never became an issue.
Medicine figured out ways to sedate the strange ills of the mentally impaired with drugs but never to get rid of the problem. So today, it is still one of the main groups of the homeless population.
With 33 trillion in debt, the Feds have no incentive to do much about the street population including the mentally ill, so nothing happens. No surprise, as usual government does not do much of anything except work to be re elected.
In the meantime, the number of dislocated folks grows on the streets with no solutions in site. The Dem solution of throwing money into the welfare garbage disposal does absolutely nothing.
Is it going to take having 51%.of the electorate on the streets to get the gimmes to stop electing Democrats?
My ultimate goal used to be a rusted out van of my very own down by the river, but large corrugated refrigerator boxes seem to have taken the homeless population by storm of late, and who am I to argue?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv2VIEY9-A8
Jeezus Krist DA that’s some pretty high aspirations. I hope at least the “Van of your own down by the river” was at least a 1968 VW micro bus with a big peace sign painted on the sliding door & alongside the slogan “War is not good for children & other living things.”
Hell yeah, brh, that would have been the ultimate dream! As the USAF is wont to say, “Aim High!” (in more ways than one!)
1965 VW Micro Bus, MSRP: $1800.
With thick gray bong smoke roiling out of the flip out windows as it rolls s-l-o-w-l-y down the street. Those were the days!
… and the Dead’s ‘Sugar Magnolia’ blasting out from your JBL Quadraphonic Sound speakers.
Lucky sumbitch, for a while I lived in the river down by a rusty van. Can you say “Muskrat Love?”
“Saw my Baby down by the river,”
“Knew she had to come up soon for air.”
I see your timeline and understand. But as well or maybe also to consider is that both generalized sides are off. One saying that the state shouldn’t spend money on helping the homeless/mentally ill and the other that uses the homeless and mentally ill for political/social reasons. It is hard to see a real solution at this particular moment and not sure it depends on elections. I’m not even sure what elections are anymore.
Those institutions were also places of great suffering, John.
TBH, I don’t know whether the street is that much worse.
Life can be very cruel.
Yeah the previous system of institutions were definitely a perfect manifestation of cruelty. But surely at least some who were responsible for the establishment of the institutions thought it was a greater good for all. No good deed goes unpunished, as they say.
Yes, perhaps the premise is wrong: Maybe not all life matters equally. Is someone born without a functioning mind, unable to walk, talk, or feed themselves a viable life? Would ending such a life in the womb be the same as killing a healthy unborn baby?
Witness the madness of the Terry Schiavo debate. One side said she had no consciousness at all, a vegetable. The other said she was fully human because she smiled and cooed occasionally.
Probably both sides were wrong. She was at the animal level of consciousness.
Yes. It is really such an important discussion. What is that saying. Something like don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Life has very difficult moments.

Brilliant speech! Thanks, Isles.
It is tragic how few people that I know would welcome my sharing this URL with them. They are jabbed and simply will not hear of such truth.
Many will even get boosted this fall.
“People are strange”
– James Douglas Morrison
It takes a person of character to admit that they were tricked into hurting themselves.
Here on CFN, I think we have just one individual out of about 6-7 who took the poison and began to question things and move forward positively.
Egoism and fear are powerful.
Our family lost our elite baseball player (catcher). He was my cousin’s son. He was on scholarship but then developed clotting from shoulder to hand of his throwing arm. He came home and, a few months later, died suddenly in his sleep.
Cognitive dissonance, I believe it is called.
Dr. Zonk:
I am very sorry to hear of this loss.
So far I don’t actually know of deaths among my circle (which is not very large), although I keep reading about sudden unexpected deaths in the local obits.
In my family I am the only pureblood. My nephew and his wife were very proactive on all fronts: jabs, boosters, PCR tests, etc. for themselves and their two teenage sons. I had to take a PCR before being allowed to join the family for Xmas breakfast (by that time the home kits were available; my nephew brought me one; he is really very sweet, my favorite; trying to be super-responsible).
Not long after getting the second jab, the elder boy, my second favorite, collapsed suddenly. By the time I heard about it he was back on his feet. I asked whether there could be any jab effect—the answer was NO!. He hadn’t been drinking enough water. I hope that was the case . . .
I think my nephew kind of realizes now that the whole thing was crazy. But no one talks about it.
Thank you, Isles. We lost him on Dec. 30, 2022 and it still doesn’t seem real. He was 18 years old.
I know exactly what you mean. The “responsible” treated us purebloods like lepers but don’t have too much to say about it anymore.
*****
Teenage boys never used to collapse from dehydration. Thirsty boys will usually grab themselves a drink. It sounds to me like there is some cognitive dissonance surrounding you as well.
His name is Malcolm Roberts. He is a senator from Queensland.
I wrote that name down because I want to remember it.
Slap in the face after slap in the face. Andy Ngo loses his lawsuit against his antifa attackers. What would you expect from a Portland jury, although the attacks were unprovoked and clearly shown on video. David Weiss is appointed special prosecutor by Merrick Garland in the Hunter Biden investigation. It’s really hard to wrap your head around so much hubris, so much flagrant abuse of power, but there it is. Then we had the killing of the 75 y/o man in Utah, a real menace to Biden with his threats.
Make no mistake. Behind all of this is Barack Hussein Obama, and yet you don’t hear all that much about him, what he did as president for eight years in setting up favorable conditions for the continuation of his policies, thinking that Hillary would carry most of them through. Then the upset, the unthinkable, and the endless, desperate attempts to destroy the White Warrior Trump.
This upcoming election is not only a battle between ideologies but a battle between the races, which many don’t seem to realize. Obama’s race war is well underway, with his troops well placed, especially from Chicago eastward. Black district attorneys, black sheriffs, black mayors, black police chiefs, etc. The open border and Obama’s recruitment of blacks and browns is one of the most reprehensible and destructive situations in US history, but there it is again.
I once said that Obama was half white and all nigger. In light of what he’s done and is doing to the nation, he deserves that opprobrium in spades. Remember though, all niggers are black but not all blacks are niggers.
It’s one thing for a nation’s demographics to change naturally because of birth rates, death rates, etc. It’s another thing for a shadow government with Obama and his clan to forcefully, illegally, and willfully change them to favor his own race to the detriment of others, particularly whites.
The latest on the racial front from hereabouts: Buses filled with immigrants must have been off loaded recently as I see more blacks and browns than ever before. More and more blacks are moving into tv land, and black and white pairings are more prevalent.
Back on coonteenth, otherwise known as Juneteenth, we had a washer/dryer delivered by two blacks, from Lowes. One spoke no English at all, the other pointed and grunted a few words. They couldn’t get the washer to work and had the wrong vent connection for the dryer. The valves? Water all over the place. Disaster with a capital D.
Took a trip to Lost Wages, stayed at the Palazzo/Venetian. The rich and the beautiful people were flaunting it as usual (no, not me) and it seemed that the great world Ponzi scheme could go on forever. Well, maybe it could, you can arrest a Madoff or a Sam Bankman-Fried but who will arrest the government?
Anyway, I was checking out the casino scene watching this group of blacks in the high roller room playing baccarat. Thousands a hand. Looked like basketball players with boatloads of bling. A few whites were around, and some nasty words were exchanged, and the whites were told to fuck off and sadly enough they meekly did so.
Another group of blacks were just outside the room, one a massive, I mean massive guy cavorting with a couple of young white girls filled with the giggles. Oh yeah, what it is!
Maybe it was just this occasion in particular, but the overall impression was that blacks and Latinos ruled the roost. At the tables, at the wheel, in the restaurants. At dinner one night, a group of a dozen or so blacks charged in, and if the noise had gotten any louder it probably would have cracked the Italian marble tabletops and shattered the wine glasses.
Also on the trip, on two separate occasions, I encountered ‘brown pride’ tee shirts worn with a proud, manly machismo. Anybody here wear a white pride tee shirt lately? No doubt about it, the race war is on. Obama has Kamala Harris standing by, armed with all the weapons of woke, ready to be mentored by Michelle, or maybe Michelle herself will assume what has become the ‘black man’s burden.’
On a more pleasant note, I met an interesting woman at the poker table who was flying back to Istanbul the next day. A real seductress type, like out of a James Bond movie. The Europeans and Asians and Australians were in stark contrast to the boisterous, brash blacks and browns.
To make light of things and help forget Obama’s race war, I sported a Buddha tee shirt, not one of those really fat Buddhas but a slimmer, meditating one. It was fun to watch people acknowledge the Buddha’s words of wisdom. Underneath his famous visage were the words, ‘Lose that shit’.
Obama is bad news.
So far no updates (that I know of) on the Paddle Board Mystery.

Yeah, stay close to home and mind your own. Something to consider.
There are still plenty of mal-educated Americans, especially liberals and leftists, who believe that Fascists aren’t Socialists, and even if they are, they think that leftist Communist/Socialists are somehow less evil than the Fascists. This ignorance and stupidity manifests itself every time some liberal or leftist brands a free-market Republican or MAGA-type conservative as a “Fascist.”
In fact, the Democrat Party is the Fascist Party, melding the very worst of Fascist/Socialist and Communist/Socialist ideology into a malodorous concoction of a state-controlled economy, the destruction of individual freedom, a state-controlled propaganda-spewing media, full civilian disarmament, weaponization of the government to destroy opponents of the regime, lathered with a full dose of racism–with the racism simply pointed at a different race than the Aryan Socialist Fascists of Nazi Germany singled out for persecution and destruction.
Unfortunately, just as was the case with Hitler, a Socialist regime crumbling under evil and inept leadership and a repeatedly failed Socialist ideology, as is the Democrat-run U.S. in 2023, becomes infinitely dangerous to the survival of a country. The Democrat Party regime in 2023 has no scruples, no morals, no patriotism, no decency and no successful ideology necessary to run a country. All they have is a vicious sense of maintaining power, no matter who or how many get persecuted, harmed, maimed, or killed in the process. Biden the puppet and his Obama/Hillary cabal controlling him are every bit as evil and every bit as dangerous as Hitler or Stalin in their most deadly and ruthless days. These people need to exorcised from every level of power in the American government, and the sooner, the better.
Well said. If not Hitler or Stalin yet, they’re closing the gap.
The National Socialists were brilliant economists and performed an economic miracle once they threw out the parasite bankers.
Obviously they had to be crushed before other nations realized that they didn’t need the bankers and could be prosperous too.
The Chinese have repented of their Communist fanaticism – putting older men at the top of their professions out in the fields to work, taking iron ploughs that had been in families for generations for their iron drives, etc. Now they are healthy National Socialists.
We were lied to about the effectiveness of the vaccines. Some people suffered and died because of them. Jim has stated that millions were killed or injured by them. Can he or anybody here back that up with legitimate data? I’m not interested in concocted bullshit put together by anti-vaxxers.
What about the six billion plus who were vaccinated and are showing no ill effects? Oh yes, fear porn says that their deaths are imminent. Right.
In my circle, also relatively small, say twenty people, everyone who has been vaccinated is doing well.
Families that were harmed have my sympathy. Those lies were dangerous and, in some cases, deadly.
But millions dead and injured? Prove it.
Look at the death stats. Funeral industry is doing great. In contrast, the Life Insurance Industry has been shafted.
Agree…the world’s population is aging…Boomers are dying regardless of vax status. And if and when younger generations vote, they are not following the example of Mr. Maturity and the Republican party.
Look at the death stats of young people. Boomers gonna boom … but young people are dying and becoming disabled.
“Boomers are dying regardless of vax status. ”
This is not the cause of the excess deaths being reported in many countries.
It is younger cohorts who are dying prematurely, in actuararial (is that a word?) terms. .
Exactly. And in that vein (pun intended), listen to UK funeral director John O’Looney discuss the weird rubbery clots that have gone from never-seen-before to all-too common. These clots (they are not blood clots) have made embalming a much more difficult procedure.
The specious argument is that many people are dying who have received the vaccines. Well, when practically everybody in the world, 6-7 billion people, has been vaccinated, what would you expect? People who are vaccinated die from all sorts of different causes.
Btw, thanks for that knife in the back up above. I admit, you have wounded me, however so slightly.
J, for jughead.
Perhaps I was wrong. You’re being humorous so the mass alliteration attack is fine in that context.
No. The argument is that young people who have been jabbed are dying and becoming disabled 20- and 30- and 60-sigma more than before the jabs.
A 3-sigma would be, statistically, a once in 200 years event. These deviations are infinitely less likely than that. Something changed in 2021 & 2022. Globally. Hmmm … what could it be … ?
Uh oh, TS going to have to defend the the Covid “vaccine” death cult now.
Next, ask him about Ukraine.
😀
Where are those stats, Dr. Zonk?
Ed Dowd’s book “Cause Unknown”: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022 would be the best place to start.
I very recently saw Dr Roger Hodgekinson quoting a recent “prestigious study” that I wish I’d’ve made a note of. I will see if I can find it …
The data is out there. Country after country, graph after graph, there is no statistical doubt: The vaccines have and are caused/causing off-the-charts death and disabilities. Sad but true.
Thanks, Zonk. I’ll find that work.
Zonk – he’s actually called Hodkinson, an unusual variation, perhaps.
They control everything. Therefore, the proof is murky. There is no video of the murder snd the murder’s face. No. You must discern for yourself based on evidence. Like a juror, listen to the evidence.
Edward Dowd is a good source to start with. Here’s his latest on the ‘Chute:
httpX://wwwDOTbitchuteDOTcom/video/hqZt63qIuQfa/
Beyond Dowd, listen to Todd Callander, Dr Lee Van Vliet, Dr Roger Hodgekinson, Tom Renz, Del Bigtree (The Highwire), SGT Report, Greg Hunter (USA Watchdog), Dr Ryan Cole. The truth is out there but it won’t come to your door like an Amazon delivery.
*****
It is not surprising that you are, thankfully, 0 for 20. Dr Hodgekinson recently pointed to a published statistical study that estimates the death rate at (now) 1 per 1,000 jabbed. That study pegged the dead worldwide at 200 million and 2 billion with an adverse effect.
Mike Adams, Steve Kirsch, Mikki Willis … and God bless Karen Kingston.
I found it.
httpX://wwwDOTbitchuteDOTcom/video/CLQVBbcyjlKZ/
Dr Roger Hodgekinson refers to the recent analysis of Peter Halligan.
And … I see that I made a humungous mistake above. I typed 200 million dead globally while Halligan’s study actually indicates 20 million dead. Sorry for the confusion.
BTW, Edward Dowd’s statistical research has recently and very conservatively put the USA jab death toll at 600,000.
You are a fine addition to Team Islander. Both teams are against the Vax. But we fight about everything else.
Alternatively, you don’t have to be on any team. Or you can be on whichever team you want to be on when you want. You’re welcome.
Thank you both very much. I like it here.
I’m on Team Truth. I’m all for the truth and wherever that leads us while Global Socio-Economic Geopolitical shenanigans reach a fevered pitch.
And, I like the routine. Fresh JHK to read and discuss tomorrow!
Oh now I get it: You want to be a Third Party.
Yes, as Malcolm Roberts stated,
There are the dead;
There are the permanently crippled/disabled;
There are the injured;
And, there are the uncounted millions who are grieving in light of all this.
Yeah, you want an accounting of everything. You want to see the ledgers so to speak. Could it be that the books are cooked? Need your numbers and science if you must. I’ll keep an open mind. The capacity for people to lie and be evil knows no bounds.
I don’t know about any of that crap, but I DO know I’m not taking any of their so-called “boosters” or whatever they come out with next.
JHK uses some interesting turns of phrase. One in particular struck this time – “pathologically credulous”. I think that’s an apt description of many here.
He also seems to be getting into projection with THIS one: “A review of all this suggests that “Joe Biden” is what has driven the Democratic Party insane. And now, of course, they can’t seem to get rid of him, like a demon riding them through an endless nightmare.”. Change out “Joe Biden” and “Democratic Party” with “Trump” & “GOP” for greater accuracy. Seriously – the Trump people are all screaming on one hand “Biden Crime Family!!! Corruption!!!” without evidence (so far) and on the other “Trump is being railroaded!!!” to the point of considering some convoluted resolution that will supposedly leave him immune to prosecution, ffs…
When people want to see things a certain way evidence doesn’t really factor in. Of course you don’t think your susceptible to that. But maybe your stuck in a glue trap.
Ouch! Not the dreaded glue trap! I promise I didn’t put it out, SSL!
No Dis, you didn’t. You simply inspired me 😉
Yep – that’s precisely your problem, I’m thinking…
Wow. You really put me in my place now didn’t you lol
🙂 Sorry…just kidding.
Skeptical Mouse says that he will need a lot more than just eyewitnesses, financial records, audio and video recordings, and admissions of guilt from parties involved for him to believe any of it.
(As predicted by the Babylon Bee.)
Where did I say that, Paula D?
If there IS evidence about Biden (the president, not his son), then bring it on, Mr. Comer (who so far has all but admitted that they are LOOKING for the ‘evidence’ and when asked will he have such evidence, said: “I hope so”.
I just watched a few clips of Chris Christie on Youtube. He’s telling you the truth about Trump. That truth is deep in your own heart if you’d care to examine yourself with a little critical thinking.
You mean like Joe Biden admitting to bribing a Ukraine official on video? Or the contents of Hunter’s laptop and his texts, talking about paying The Big Guy millions?
MaryQueen – that’s pretty dumb of you, isn’t it?
Biden’s ‘admission’ of having that prosecutor fired was at a public meeting. Not being as stupid as DJT, if he’d corruptly had him fired, he wouldn’t be bragging about it.
“But, Hunter Biden’s laptop!!!” isn’t that getting a little shop-worn? Besides. if there’s evidence, then Mr/ Comer & his committee will surely find it and publically expose it…yet Comer (along with Grassley & even Ron Johnson) are saying they haven’t got the evidence…YET (which is exactly what I said. Produce the evidence and I’ll cheer for truth.
“Not being as stupid as DJT, if he’d corruptly had him fired, he wouldn’t be bragging about it.”
LAME!!
He did corruptly have the guy, Shokin, I think, fired; that we know.
And he did brag about it; that we know.
For more background on the firing and the pressure put on Shokin, see Scott Ritter, Agent Zelensky, I think it is in part 1 but might be part 2.
Biden is stupid in a different way from DJT.
Biden admitted to committing a crime because it made a good show and gave him a good line at the end, and because he likes to put on the swagger.
So, he didn’t think. As he so often fails to do. Or, he just gives in to the temptation to strut about and pretend he’s got a big swingin’ dick—just like when he gives in, publicly, to the temptation to sniff and paw young girls and even toddlers without, apparently, understanding the grossness and unacceptability of what he is doing and saying (whispering).
It is almost like some weird kind of Tourette’s Syndrome.
“LAME!!
He did corruptly have the guy, Shokin, I think, fired; that we know.”
Oh, really – how do ‘we’ (who, precisely?) ‘know’ this to be so? Well, if Biden did it ‘corruptly’ he must hold a lot of sway to have so many European nations agreeing with Obama’s administration that Shokin needed to go. Biden was the guy who delivered the message. Quick! Shoot the Messenger!
Scott Ritter? Do you mean the pedophile? How can a pedo have any credibility with you QAnon types?

A quote from a Russian Moscow-based reporter:
““People like him turn to Russia and to the cold yet very confining embrace of the Russian government because they’re opportunists,” says Natalia Antonova, a longtime Moscow-based reporter and editor, as well as an OSINT researcher with a keen familiarity with Russian disinformation techniques.
“They see a financial and career opportunity by working for and with the Russians. By that I mean bad Russians, the very same bureaucrats who are enabling Russian fascists today and are enabling this attempt at a genocide in Ukraine.”“
Does a pedo saying, “The sun is hot” make it cold?
Just like old times.
Take-a-poo & O.G. taking over the threads, spreading nonsense.
Indeed, Mary.
And as usual, they wait until just before the new weekly post from our host to slide in and fling poo.
So brave.

I figure the only way Trump is going to prison is if he volunteers for it.
Presumably Edward Snowden wasn’t / isn’t half as rich as Trump ,
but it was easy enough for him to get on an airplane and vote with his feet.
I suppose there are still plenty of places in the world that would be happy to host a fugitive ex – U.S. President.
Imagine what a propaganda coup that would be for North Korea , for example.
And maybe an intelligence coup too. Even Trump must know a lot of interesting inside dope ?
So , yeah , the only way Trump is going to prison is voluntarily.
But , OK , let’s say he does go to prison.
I’m afraid that will not de – legitimize him.
It will make him a martyr.
Then I’m afraid you have a much bigger can of worms.
The trouble with inclusivity and liberality is you actually have to practice it , not just talk it , while you act like stormtroopers.
It may indeed take awhile , but eventually you will wind up worse off than where you started.
— doesn’t resonate with me ,
as my own conclusion is they went barking mad a long time ago.
Case in point ;
The carpet bombing of German and Japanese cities could be swept under the rug as acts of war.
Especially helpful in that regard is that the Germans started the business of targeting civilians with their Zeppelin raids in WW I.
The Japanese didn’t exactly deal with the civilian population of Nanking with kid gloves ,
and so on.
But , ” the winners write the history books ” not withstanding , it is eventually going to become obvious to all that Hiroshima was an act of genocide plain and simple.
Grrr –
from ” — doesn’t resonate with me ” was an eassay I wasn’t going to post.
Somehow it didn’t get edited out.
It was in response to the claim that Joe Biden has made the Democrat party insane.
In my view they were already acting extremely erratically 70 years ago.
I like the idea of liberal and inclusive stormtroopers. Organizational skills are so underrated its painful. Doesn’t resonate with me fit in well in the current context, however. Or even so. I took it to mean that you felt liberal and inclusive stormtroopers don’t resonate because ultimately they are an unworkable idea or outcome.
liberal and inclusive stormtroopers
Man! There’s a comedy sketch or two there!
I see a lot of liberals complaining that the US is grossly behind Europe when it comes to “progressive” culture and laws.
Thank goodness for that, actually.
“A Sexual Preference That Deviates From The Norm” : Pedophiles Profiled Sympathetically On National Public Radio In Germany
“A German national public radio program recently celebrated three men who describe themselves as “non-offending pedophiles” and portrayed them as benevolent.
***
In his personal profile found on the Destiny and Challenge site, Max writes that he is attracted to young girls aged from 5 to 12 years of age.
“I’m primarily attracted to girls before and during the onset of puberty, but I’m also attracted to teenage and adult women,” he says.
In 2019, three of the men involved in Destiny and Challenge were invited to speak at the University of Heidelberg for a “pedophilia theme day” by two student associations.
***
Another pedophile who was featured on the radio program, using the name Franz, states that he views violent child sexual abuse pornography and had fantasies involving cannibalism.
“I want to dominate. It’s like omnipotence: to destroy the child, to have power over the child, to humiliate and torment them all, and sadistic stuff like that,” Franz said.”

That’s pretty disturbing.
In the US laws protecting children against sexual exploitation are pretty strong, and once in prison, ‘Chomos’ don’t last long.
We might have good laws – but again, the enforcement remains a problem.
For instance, Laura Silsby being promoted to the Amber Alert board after being arrested for trying to kidnap kids for trafficking in Haiti (La Clinton bailed her out & got her on Amber Alert). These people have no shame.
There have also been moves here in the US to get pedophilia decriminalized.
Then there is NAMBLA…
Where’s Mike Sherman and Skeptical Mouse to tell us that this is OK and not at all happening because reasons?
Trump voluntarily goes to prison…becomes a martyr.
A fitting outcome for a stable genius.
I wonder if he’ll still get SS protection while he’s in there? Maybe even his own wing? A presidential prison? Maybe just seal off Mar-a-Lago and leave it at that?
Honestly its hard to imagine Ron DeSantis not being as gross as Mike Pence. But Vivek is an interesting candidate. Relatable and focusing on the most important issues occurring right now. Perhaps that is why the WEF tried to subvert his reputation and almost in a way defame him. I can easily see them make up deep fakes about populist and nationalist candidates to infer an association between them and the WEF. To ruin their support. Totally possible since everything is an information war.
That makes way more sense than some of the lameass accusations and allegations against him that I have read recently.
Col. Douglas MacGregor (via “a very reliable source”):
400,000 Ukrainian soldiers dead plus 60,000 amputations.
May God have mercy on Zelenskyy’s black soul.
A little hard to feel too sorry for them when at some point they could have just refused to fight and/or defected.
“A little hard to feel too sorry for them when at some point they could have just refused to fight and/or defected.”
The word “just” often raises a red flag.
With all due respect, this comment seems to me to be ill-informed.
Defectors get shot.
There have been plenty of stories of the conscripted-to-certain-death being shot if they tried to surrender to Russian troops. But many have succeeded.
As for “just refuse to fight,” once at the front, you will be shot if you refuse to follow orders.
“Refusing” before reaching the front: the same.
“Refusing” to “volunteer”? We have seen vides of young men being shanhaied off the street.
Those who have escaped to, say, Poland are now in danger of being conscripted there. Or sent back to Ukraine.
Probably the best shot would have been to try to get to an EU country—which of course millions of Ukrainians of both sexes have been doing since 1991.
Next-best shot might have been to flee to Russia as a refugee or ethnic Russian prior to Feb. 2022.
But then they might also be conscripted into the Russian army . . .
So, IMO there is no “just” do X or Y in order to be worthy of a bystander’s compassion fr the loss of life of 400,000 men.
Get shot for refusing or get fed into a meatgrinder and face certain death for a lousy cause anyway. Agreed, that’s one helluva conundrum. Even so, 400K? At what point do a significant minority say enough is enough and maybe redirect their energies toward killing their real enemy?
The Ukraine looks to me like a totalitarian state similar to Nazi Germany.
The options in a totalitarian state are —nil. That is why it is totalitarian.
How are people supposed to communicate and organize when the state has total control of communications? As well described in the video by what’s-his-name is it George Gideon, in his discussion of the Gonzalo Lira situation. Ukraine has total surveillance capacity.
There have also been vids of groups of Ukr soldiers basically refusing to fight and running away from their tanks to try to get to the Russian lines. It is all horrible, and IMO we cannot judge individuals and their supposed options from here.
Actually, no.
And many of us have posted about this myriad times here, Dis.
Young men were (and are) kidnapped off the street and forced to fight.
Trump’s goose is cooked. It’s going to be extremely difficult to run a campaign in 2023/24. Time and money will be in short supply. Who will take the wheel for the Republican Party? RFK Jr.
My last month’s paycheck was 11000 dollars. All I did was simple 0nline work from comfort at home for 6-8 hours/day that I got from this agency I discovered over the internet and they paid me 45 dollars every hour. Visit for more detail..
