      Hark! We are informed this Presidents’ Day by The New York Times that a poll out of the University of Houston, led by one prof of poly-sci named (get this name) Brandon Rottinghaus, ranks “Joe Biden” at No. 14, way above average among the forty-six demi-gods elected to run the US government since 1789. It’s a helluva good bit of news for a nation in need of reassurance in these dark days, don’t you agree? They’ve got him sandwiched between John Quincy Adams and Woodrow Wilson, beating out the likes of Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, James Monroe, and Ronald Reagan. Mr. Trump is ranked dead last, of course.

     “Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall,” the report states.

      Gearing up? I’m sure. If gearing up means calling a lid on your life an hour after breakfast. And what do you suppose they mean by “a more traditional form of leadership.” Arranging serial overseas military humiliations? Selling favors to all comers from foreign lands? Inviting transsexuals to cavort on the White House lawn? Abolishing control of US borders? Running a $2-trillion annual deficit? Mandating unsafe and ineffective so-called “vaccine” shots on millions? Cancelling the First Amendment? Stealing elections? Conspiring to jail his political adversaries?

     We’re also informed in recent days by the Department of Justice that “Joe Biden” is not mentally competent to answer for anything in a court of law, should someone inquire into the signal irregularities emerging from the fugitive annals of his long career. Of course, “Joe Biden” running for reelection is one of the greatest gags ever put over on the American public. But more astounding yet is that half the country persists in pretending to believe it. They are egged on in every possible way by persons in high places of government fearful of going to prison if the Democratic Party loses its grip on the levers of power.

      Since “Joe Biden” is not actually calling the shots, one naturally wonders who is responsible for all the dubious achievements of the past three years. I guess we’ll find out when Mr. Trump wins that election in November, an outcome increasingly guaranteed unless “Joe Biden” (or, let’s face it, our Intel Community) takes the final decisive step of bumping off the Golden Golem of Greatness. What have they got left? AI-contrived photos of Mr. Trump having sex with a manatee in the intercoastal waterway off Mar-a-Lago?

      In New York City, the Woke lunatics did a victory dance after Judge Arthur Engoron, beaming his Joker smile, laid a $350-million fine on Mr. Trump for conducting a set of normal real estate transactions with a bank that profited from doing business with him. Many are still trying to figure out how that amounts to a crime of any sort. Don’t suppose that the check is in the mail, though. There is an appeals process that leads, you may be sure, to a dismissal of that inane judgment and the puerile hypotheticals that the case derived from. And, by and by, you also might expect a countersuit for malicious prosecution when all that smoke clears. New York Attorney General Letitia James, lacking impulse control, is for the moment enjoying the fulfillment of her campaign promise to “get Trump.” Waiting to see how much she enjoys losing her law license in the days to come.

     Every reaction provokes an equal and opposite reaction, Newton’s Third Law states. It manifested shortly after Judge Engoron’s end zone dance when a call went out over the Internet for America’s truckers to refuse loads inbound to New York City. We’ll have to stand by to see how that develops. No more bok choy, Texas beef, or Meyer Lemons for you, “progressive” denizens of the Five Boroughs! Embrace the suck! The genius part is that, unlike the 2022 Canadian truckers’ action in Ottawa, the American truckers will not be cluttering up New York’s streets with their rigs, license plates on view, leaving them vulnerable to such pranks as the shutdown of their bank accounts. All they’ll do is sit innocently at home back in Kentucky and Missouri, enjoying a break from the rigors of the highway. Is that a crime? Arguably no more than doing a normal real estate deal in good faith with a willing lender was a crime.

     The truckers have promised to include Washington DC next in their delivery boycott. The K-Street lobbying gang won’t be buying any influence for a while over platters of grilled branzino and Mariscos Molcajete. Maybe there will be a few Cliff Bars left in the Farragut Square 7-Eleven and they can do business in their cars. As for “Joe Biden,” his minders have probably laid in enough Ensure for a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory to get by for a few weeks — until the magic moment when, alas, he must needs be thrown under the bus of expediency to keep their game going.

        And steaks of the German cockroaches (yes, that is, or was, the common name of these giants) are perfect for stir-fry.

          German cockroaches are the little ones. We used to call the big ones waterbugs. You could hear them when they ran across the floor. Big as a mouse.

      • Not_GeorgeT February 19, 2024 at 11:07 am #

        So many they have ‘ratting contests’ where they bring terriers for an evening of competition in a back alley.

          I had two Yorkies, yea I know fag dogs. I downsized from GSD’s. The yorkies were on the big side and were death for chipmunks and mice around here. Vicious little sumbitches.

            It’s in the makeup of the variations within the breed.

      The Houthis and US truckers have identified the achilles heel of the Empiire: supply chains. When you import practically everything ( from Asia or internally from farms), supply chains are your most vulnerable asset.

      • Uncle Abraham February 19, 2024 at 10:54 am #

        Just like Hamas killing everyone, including their own people, the Houthis target everyone.

        • oldandtired February 19, 2024 at 11:19 am #

        • Not_GeorgeT February 20, 2024 at 10:25 am #

          Without recalling the source (it was an interview), it was offered the ‘Hamas’ players were mostly imported and really didn’t care who they were killing and maiming.

          Since my opinion regarding the events of 07 Oct = a false flag event, a followup question is who actually funded the event.

          Iran can be blamed for practically anything, and might have involvement. If so, it still remains a question who was behind it.

      • Paula D February 19, 2024 at 12:21 pm #

        The “Houthis” only target ships going to Israel and those of UK and US origin.
        At first it was only ships going to Israel, but then the US and UK bombed Yemen, so the Ansarallah government widened the boycott.

        • Not_GeorgeT February 20, 2024 at 10:29 am #

          “but then the US and UK bombed Yemen”

          So much for Jefferson’s idea of ‘peace commerce and friendship with all nations…’

    • oldandtired February 19, 2024 at 10:39 am #

      @JustinMoab. Twenty-fives years ago, truck drivers thought that going to Hunts Point was a curse. I am sure it’s no better now. They talked about having people jump on the ICC bumper of their trailer, cut the locks to their rear doors and steal the load locks and as much product as they could. The drivers were too smart to get out of their rigs and challenge the thieves.

  2. RaymondR February 19, 2024 at 9:47 am #

    Some good points Jim. I don’t expect either Trump or Biden to run in the November election. There is a good chance that there won’t be one.

    The Canadian truckers protest was two years ago.

      What’s on your 2024 bingo card?

      I’m thinking we see tactical nuclear strikes in Ukraine and the Middle East that will lead to declarations of WW3, martial law, mass conscription, the whole kit n’ kaboodle between now and November.

      • BackRowHeckler February 19, 2024 at 10:36 am #

        A real possibility. Also, think the Democratic National Convention held in a rudderless, moribund, squalid, bankrupt Chicago this summer — overrun with tens of thousands of ‘Migrants’ & experiencing 500 stolen cars per week — will spark urban riots that will make the disorder at the1968 convention seem like a boy scout jamboree.

        When KFC pulls out of the city, as it did last week, you know there’s trouble brewing.

      • TruthSeeker1986 February 19, 2024 at 10:39 am #

        Why do people keep saying Nuclear Strikes? Any nation that attempts to go nuclear is a fucking idiot and obviously have no plans or intent of surviving themselves. If nuclear attacks do happen on that side of the world. Then who ever launched the first one needs to be heavily sanctioned, stripped of everything and eliminated.

        • gustafson.robert.22 February 19, 2024 at 11:09 am #

          All that’s kept nukes in the silos so far is no one feeling desperate enough to fire them.

          • TruthSeeker1986 February 19, 2024 at 12:43 pm #

            @Gustafson.Robert.22

            I know which is why I don’t understand why these weapons were never abolished. It’s honestly the United States fault for this. Using nukes is such a pussified way to win a war…From what I can tell the Japanese were already going to surrender, but no The U.S. just had to hit them with that nuke and now everyone wants to have rights to own the damn things. And from what I’ve heard they are much more powerful than the first one used on Japan.

          • Alfred February 19, 2024 at 5:46 pm #

            “Abolished”

            Is it not a conundrum to any statesman, the notion that your adversaries will abide by the agreements you make? You would have to look at their performance over time to figure out whether or not you trust them. I guess.

            I believe viral, gain of function research was abolished, maybe more than once. I dunno.

            What should be abolished is the need for them. I think fair play would be a good start. We don’t play fair, does anyone?

            Anyway, I thought murder on such a scale was simply unthinkable, or somehow aberrant human behavior, and so abolished would be unnecessary, yet I also used to think that gender was radio button, not a checkbox.

            I think abolished was canceled. There’s no such thing.

          • Paula D February 20, 2024 at 8:43 pm #

            //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention

            The US signed this treaty in 1972 and Nixon announced that Ft. Dietrick would be shut down.

            Any treaty signed by the US becomes the law of the land, according to the Constitution.

            All activity since then has been illegal as well as immoral.

            MAD, that’s who. Once the radioactive dust settles, there won’t be a lot of international commerce going on.

            I think it was you who pointed out the efficiency of that doctrine, wasn’t it?

          • TruthSeeker1986 February 19, 2024 at 12:47 pm #

            @Elysianfield

            Don’t they have organizations that have these nations sign agreements to never use these weapons, and that if they do they can be prosecuted for it?

          • elysianfield February 19, 2024 at 1:15 pm #

            TS,/Paula

            Well, MAD works insofar as no one uses a weapon. Afterwords, the concept is moot. Organizations such as the UN have no teeth, The US only recognizes UN sanctions when it is convenient.

            Prosecuted? Empty words. Remember “How many divisions does the Pope have”?

            The UN, the World Court? At least twice as many as the Pope….

          Tactical nukes are smaller and more direct than the Hiroshima style nuke can be very effective.

          • mary.m February 19, 2024 at 3:13 pm #

            From what I’ve read, every wargame using tactical nukes has inevitably lead to all out nuke war & complete annihilation.

          Most likely will be what as kids we used to call “accidentally-on-purpose”, where conditions are optimal and emotions are running high. Something happens, errors are compounded, and it gets out of control.

          The case study is the near-launch during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, which the USAF continues to deny to this day.

          hXXps://apjjf.org/-Steve-Rabson/4825/article.html

          Seems to have been a very close call.

          My late elder brother, a career tanker pilot, commented at the time to my dad – also USAF – that “The only danger to our bombers would have been them running into each other on the way to Russia”.

          As a fellow commenter observed a week or so ago, the “go-for-it” belligerance of actors like Curtis LeMay scared JFK and made him wary of his military and “intelligence” advisors. Luckily, he had the wise counsel of USSR Ambassador Dobrynin to help work out a resolution and avoid an exchange.

          I was a student at UT Austin, and had an old Chevy pickup loaded with food, water and guns, figuring to head for the Mexican border, as the fallout patterns over northern Mexico looked reasonably survivable. Assuming, natch, that the Mexicans didn’t just slam the gate shut and hunker down in their own territory.

          People were raiding the supermarkets in San Antone, loading up six or seven carts of merch for hoarding. Which was, if you paused to consider it, a rather poignant gesture considering how much of Texas would have been a prime target for a Russian atomic attack.

          If you want to get a feeling for the alarm and terror of that era, check of Joe Dante’s MATINEE, a neat action comedy set in south Florida during the crisis.

          There’s also the chance that NATO (U.S. and U.K.) will invade Ukraine or Belarus to finally topple Putin. Nothing like a war to bump up incumbent popularity during an election year.

        Nukes are already ‘used’ for sabre-rattling and FUD.

        My chips say that’s as far as they will be used.

      • Socrates-Detroit February 19, 2024 at 9:46 pm #

        If there are tactical nuke strikes in the Ukraine, the US is far more likely to initiate them than the Russians.

        Russia is downwind of the Ukraine.

        The US is trying very hard to provoke Russia, with the Ukrainian puppet government lobbing the occasional drone or artillery round on some Russian city or Donetsk.

        Russia’s objective is to keep as much of the liberated sections (liberated from the Western Blob) as intact as possible

        Similarly, if there are any nukes used in the Middle East, Israel (or the US) will use them first.

        The thing is, how does one keep this from possibly spinning out of control?

        While the “blob” as always pulled the strings, it seems to me the puppets of the past, from the evil Kissinger and Nixon and LBJ, to the more benign Reagan and JFK, were more intelligent, had a better grasp of human nature, and knew some history (some more than others).

        Setting aside Biden’s dementia, let’s assume that Biden’s brain was where it was in 2008? What does Biden bring to the party? He’s a good grifter, good at getting lots of money (more money than any Senator/VP between 1990-2014 from Israeli interests). When his brain worked, he was clearly inferior to everyone else I listed.

        And what can say about SecState Blinken? or SecDef Austin? These people so and do one stupid thing after another.

        The other side (China/Russia) is run by professionals. They have not been dealt perfect hands—each country has some big challenges, but they play their cards much better.

        And every day, their hand gets stronger, while Uncle Sam’s gets weaker.

        It is those of decline who lash out. That’s why the US government is more likely to use nuclear weapons first. If it does, it will open Pandora’s box, and America is likely is finished.

        The high (but declining) US standard of living is not robust enough to withstand a conflict, and Americans without jobs, food, or electricity are a recipe for socio-economic implosion that will any surviving elderly, white OR black, wish for the race riots of the 1960s.

        • Uncle Bob February 19, 2024 at 11:29 pm #

          Biden, I’m convinced, is a conduit through which du Pont is able to sell munitions around the world, as well as replenishing America’s stockpile. Same with the rest of America’s arms manufacturers. Biden would’ve been dumped for Pete du Pont back around 1990 if he hadn’t been doing their bidding. He has their support because he’s bought, and he stays bought.

    How the hell is Woodrow Wilson anywhere near the top half? He literally sold the country out under cover of night. Then again, I guess that puts him in close company with JB…

    I will be happy when the myriad likes of the current crop of Letitia Jameses are ousted unceremoniously into the dustbin of our nation’s history. Obviously biased and unjustified revenge law is not exactly something to be proud of as a society. But such is the state of half of the country’s mindset.

      Between the creation of the Fed, the income tax, and lying the US into WWI, Wilson should be considered one of the worst, if not the worst President of all time.

        Lyndon Johnson, Hall of Fame racist, is down there too, given his mismanagement of Vietnam and the hellscapes that came into being thanks to the Great Society, not to mention Breton Woods II where he gave up American industrial dominance in order to fund the Great Society.

      Why are Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan always near the bottom?

      In his retirement, Pierce stood outside his house and addressed crowds of supporters calling Lincoln a tyrant and a criminal. Of course, he was correct. That alone puts him in the top 10.

      • BackRowHeckler February 19, 2024 at 11:56 am #

        Pierce was best friends with author Nathaniel Hawthorne, in fact he died while touring the White Mountains with Hawthorne. Pierce is underestimated in my opinion.

        Buchanan did diddly shit to stop the March toward the Civil War, and allowed munitions to be sent to military bases in the South, where secessionists were able to seize it. He was lousy. Of course, in the last several years it’s been averred that he was a closeted homosexual, so he naturall gets some pity from the gay rights community.

        Pierce spent his presidency drunk off his ass after his son was run over by a train.

        • RD3 February 19, 2024 at 12:28 pm #

          Thanks for the history lesson, Bob. Sounds like something Doris Kearns Goodwin or David McCullough would approve of.

          You mean Buchanan correctly recognized that he had no constitutional authority to prevent a state from seceding and didn’t want to inaugurate a bloody war? I love how the court history is always in favor of the bloody tyrants.

          Pierce was a Copperhead hero.

          • Jarek February 19, 2024 at 12:49 pm #

            I never knew. Damn it, I never knew. Nothing is better than a Copperhead, in this world or any other.

          • BackRowHeckler February 19, 2024 at 4:19 pm #

            Jackson was also superb in the art of dueling. He even caught a few rounds himself, and lived to tell about it.

          Buchanan gets low marks for “not preventing the Civil War” – well, neither did any of the Presidents who preceded him.

          Lincoln gets top marks for causing the Civil War.

            @Blackbird great comment!!!

            When I was a kid, I had a book with all the Presidents (Nixon was the last one, 1968-X)

            Each of the 37 Presidents had a page, it was geared towards 5th-6th grade, which was several years away from me.

            The only “quotation” I remember was from President Buchanan who said that

            “…the South did not have the right to secede, but the North did not have the right to stop them”.

          • Jarek February 22, 2024 at 12:41 pm #

            One election eve, a friend showed me a book of presidents: The worthies all had grave looks on their faces – that is until Carter. The shit eating grins began. Not to blame them per se, but American culture changed for the worse.

            I think Carter had integrity, but was sincerely wrong about many things. Very few since have had any.

      FUN FACT: Anyone who knows anything about Japanese history is aware of their hermetic kingdom being sealed off for a thousand years to protect its immunity from wicked foreign elements

      This is after they ripped off Chinese culture in toto, including their entire written language.

      The few seafarers who showed up were, apart from being pointedly unwelcome (a phenomenon that persists to this day among many Japanese) were remarkably smelly, having been at sea some weeks or months without the luxury of bathing.

      To drive home the point: they stank. To the immaculate Japanese, for whom daily bathing is a ritual, they were horrendous.

      Thus the pejorative nickname for reeking Ausländer – Euro, Gringo, Aussie, whatever – was batakusai , ????? , literally “stinking of rancid butter”.

    And for more proof they are changing the rules to specifically target Donald J. Trump…
    If Donald was smart, he would sell all his holdings in New York fire all his employees and in that firing, letter cite this constant and ridiculous attempts to shutter his presidential bid with onerous court cases.

    New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.

    \\\\https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/18/trump-verdict-new-york-business-governor-kathy-hochul

    The New York governor has told business owners in her state that there is “nothing to worry about” after Donald Trump was fined $355m and temporarily banned from engaging in commerce in the state when he lost his civil fraud trial Friday.

    In an interview on the New York radio show the Cats Roundtable with the supermarket billionaire John Catsimatidis, Kathy Hochul sought to quell fears in some quarters that the penalties handed to Trump for engaging in fraudulent business practices could chill the state’s commercial climate.

    Asked if businesspeople should be worried that if prosecutors could “do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody”, Hochul said: “Law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior.”

    She added that the fraud case against Trump resulted from “really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance”.

    Trump stares at camera.
    Trump’s legal woes have now set him back by more than $500m – how will he pay?

    ###Answer he won’t###
    Nor should he.

    Hochul’s comments were directed at some New York business leaders who said they were concerned that the attorney general Letitia James’s case against Trump could deter businesses and investment from coming to the state. Hochul noted James’s case demonstrated how Trump and some allies obtained favorable bank loans and insurance rates with inflated real estate values.

    Inflated values?
    What is Trump tower worth?
    For Mr Trump, the stakes are potentially high. Earlier this year, Forbes estimated that his New York properties alone are worth $720m (£589m), a sizable chunk of his estimated $2.5bn fortune.
    A penthouse is going for 20 million but an entire building is only worth 310 million to 700 million?
    Looks like some real fuzzy maff to me.

    The governor said most New York business owners were “honest people, and they’re not trying to hide their assets and they’re following the rules”.

    Hochul said most business owners would not merit state intervention.

    “This judge determined that Donald Trump did not follow the rules,” Hochul added. “He was prosecuted and truly, the governor of the state of New York does not have a say in the size of a fine, and we want to make sure that we don’t have that level of interference.”

    Trump, who denied wrongdoing in the case and maintained there were no victims, now has 30 days to come up with a non-recoverable $35m to secure a bond – a third-party guarantee – against his real estate holdings to show that he can pay the full fine if his appeals fail.

    Alternatively, he could put the $355m into an escrow account but would get the money back if he wins on appeal.

    Either way, the ruling is a blow to the developer-politician whose sense of self is tied to financial success. And James has said Trump is actually in line to pay more than $463m when interest is taken into account.

    In September, Trump’s former lawyer Christopher Kise argued in court that the decision against the ex-president would cause “irreparable impact on numerous companies”. It would also threaten 1,000 employees within the Trump empire, Kise maintained.

    That is unless you decide to run against any Democrat in New York City or as a Republican from New York deciding to run for President.

    Prove me wrong you Socialist lick spittle types.

    • Beryl of Oyl February 19, 2024 at 10:38 am #

      It turns out that the claim that Trump didn’t get a jury trial because his lawyer didn’t ask for one, which was repeated throughout the MSM, is a bald-faced lie.

      What the Governor is saying is that RULES are real and enforceable.

      Civil Society relies on people being able to believe things that are regulated. Regulations apply to everybody, equally, don’t they?

      Can you get away with falsifying your tax return? Are you allowed to lie in a court of law? If you’re caught driving drunk, does the law not apply to you?

      Unless one’s name is Donald J Trump, in which case the rules do not apply – is that what you’re saying?

      • Paula D February 19, 2024 at 7:54 pm #

        Cite the regulation that says you can’t estimate your property according to what you think it’s worth.

        Also cite the penalties for breaking the rule that you think is on the books.

        Because it sure looks like you are slurping the bullshit and regurgitating it here, without thinking.

    Mitchell– It’s not altogether clear what you mean, but I whiff insult in your post, so go fuck yourself. There is no “falloff from [my] productivity” Later today, I’ll be banning you from the comments, but not until other commentors view this as a warning not to insult your host. — JHK Admin

    It all really gets back to gaining a broader macro view of current events in the context of the many examples of the rise and fall of preceding empires.

    To wit, why is the USA expansionary phase celebrated as some kind of noble enterprise, when the victims were no more willing to be conquered as the self same imperial champions are being whipped today?

    You see, there has always been a bifurcated dynamic between warriors and priests. Warriors take new territory, establish new channels of spoils and tribute, and create an imperial state that attracts many to the lavish, comfortable lifestyle it affords.

    But, at the same time, slowly ticking away, are the seeds of destruction sown early in the campaigns that begin to slowly emerge. This is the process of the *internal* imperial conquest, exactly what we are experiencing now.

    So why cry so loudly? Isn’t what’s good for the gander good for the goose? Ah, you thought you’d be champions forever, never detecting the intrigue and treason slowly working through the cultural bloodstream.

    Here’s the bottom line: it’s looks like we migh have actually lost in Ukraine. Next up is our unsinkable carrier in the middle East. And then, perhaps Europe as a whole.

    This is a one way trip; I have no knowledge of any empire reversing its fall until perhaps the entire shamles reemerges like the phoenix some decades/centuries later in an entirely different form.

    Enjoy the ride – you’re living through history in the making.

      Maybe cut back your essays to just Mondays, and use your discussion forum to run open threads by posting interesting news blurbs (similar to MofA).

      Ultimately though, it’s very tough actually leaving a cult after spending sufficient time questioning just what the hell you were subject to all those long years.

    Except for the fact that this is all serious business, it would be comic relief.
    If there should ever be an equal and opposite reaction to all the overseas mischief of the previous many decades, the US will cease to exist as any sort of organized society. There’s a foreboding sense things are just too far gone.
    Meanwhile, we can almost surely expect further nasty surprises.

      See my above; it’s all over except for the crying. We cannot possibly win (on the ground) under any possible s,cenario.

      The Russia-China alliance, with Russia’s incredible rise in experience and knowledge, coupled with China’s technology and manufacturing capabilities, makes us Germany this time around.

      A nuclear first strike could have been an option, but that window of opportunity probably closed 5 years ago. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. (Not to say there isn’t a maniacal death wish among some with the launch codes.)

      Unless we have something incredibily clever up our sleeve, namely shome kind of advanced bio-chem weapon that would render the Alliance incable of retaliation on a broad scale, our destiny with history is proceding apace under a very predictable pattern.

        The Return of Urban Retail Deserts
        Stores fleeing from rising theft will leave residents in cities like New York with fewer places to shop, less merchandise to buy, and higher prices to pay.

        The rising social disorder and crime of the 1970s and 1980s drove out not only hundreds of thousands of residents from New York City, but also many businesses. Within a few years, entire communities lacked basic amenities like supermarkets and drugstores; empty storefronts littered shopping districts. That started to change only when crime began falling in the 1990s and neighborhoods rebounded—first in New York and then in other big cities—prompting national retailers to begin setting up shop in places that they had once avoided. Thousands of stores and tens of thousands of jobs blossomed in New York alone thanks to this retail revival. But those gains are vanishing before our eyes as rising retail theft is driving a new era of closings.

        It took decades for New York’s retailers to recover from the disorder and crime waves of the 1970s and 1980s. Entire districts lacked basic shopping choices, including Harlem, a community of more than 100,000 residents that didn’t have a single large-chain supermarket for more than 20 years. Once-flourishing shopping districts in the South Bronx and in neighborhoods like Bushwick in Brooklyn played host to boarded-up storefronts—vestiges of rioting and arson. National retail chains with the everyday stuff people wanted—Home Depot, Lowes, Target—shunned the city, leading to an exodus of dollars. One study in the early 1980s estimated that Queens residents alone spent half of their purchasing power, more than $1 billion a year back then, shopping in Nassau County. By the early 1990s, a consumer survey found that 56 percent of city residents left New York at least once a month to shop. Nearly 30 percent said they went specifically to buy at stores that didn’t exist in the city—an irony, considering that Gotham had once been considered one of the world’s great retail cities. One reason residents didn’t buy locally was that shopping in a so-called retail desert meant that you had to pay more for just about everything.

        All this began to change beginning in the mid-1990s. Plagued by high crime rates, Downtown Brooklyn had struggled to attract retailers, despite the city’s offering businesses big incentives. But declining crime in the second half of the 1990s sparked new investment, including in the development of hundreds of thousands of square feet of new retail space. Bushwick similarly revived, becoming a mecca for foodies. Big chains rushed into Queens, Brooklyn, and even Manhattan as the city welcomed them with zoning changes that allowed easier redevelopment of empty spaces. The result: a transformational era of retail investment and employment. From a low of 243,000 jobs in 1992, the city’s retail sector exploded, adding 135,000 jobs by 2016—an increase of 56 percent.

        These days, the news is filled with reports of announcements from big retailers like Target, Whole Foods, and national drugstore chains closing stores that have become unprofitable in the increasingly chaotic neighborhoods of cities like Chicago, Portland, and Seattle. New York City has lost approximately 675 outlets operated by national chains since the pandemic began, according to a retail census. Much of that decline can be attributed to the triple whammy of Covid shutdowns, residents leaving the city, and rising social disorder in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests in June 2020. More worrying is that a post-pandemic city that should be seeing a return to normal is now plagued by retail theft, spurred by bail reform and reduced charges for shoplifting. As a result, post-pandemic New York City still has 60,000 fewer retailer jobs than it did during the height of the pre-pandemic boom. By contrast, many cities—including Dallas, Houston, Nashville, Orlando, Tampa, Charlotte, and Raleigh—have regained and surpassed their pre-pandemic retail job numbers.

        Most troubling, perhaps, has been the decline of city drug stores. Duane Reade (a chain owned by Walgreens) and Rite Aid have collectively closed more than 100 city stores since 2019. Already beset by everything from online competition to supply-chain woes, the stores now face the task of coping with out-of-control theft. One of Rite Aid’s top executives recently discussed the difficulty of stopping theft in New York. “I think the headline here is the environment that we operate in, particularly in New York City, is not conducive to reducing shrink [i.e., theft] just based upon everything you read and see on social media and the news in the city,” he said.

        Other essential stores are also disappearing. Key Food, a chain of small supermarkets, has closed ten outlets, leaving residents in communities like Glen Oaks, Queens, without a supermarket. Dollar Tree, a chain of low-cost general-merchandise stores that saw its recent financial performance eroded by rising thievery, has shuttered 12 New York City stores. In stores that remain open, the chain has stopped selling some name-brand items most heavily targeted by shoplifters.

        Nearly 30 years ago, policymakers began describing communities that lack essential retailers, especially supermarkets, as “deserts.” Some went further, branding the problem as “retail apartheid,” a phrase that implied that stores were purposely discriminating against neighborhoods because of their residents. Local government tried a host of policies to lure stores, from incentives to public browbeating; what ultimately worked was neighborhood revivals spurred by declining crime.

        We seem on the verge of a new era of retail deserts. It will be harder, however, for policymakers to blame this sad reversal on racial discrimination or reluctance by firms to do business in certain neighborhoods. America’s major stores have shown themselves more than willing to invest in urban communities. A problem caused by bad public policy is driving them away. Shoppers and residents are the losers.

      • Ron Anselmo February 19, 2024 at 12:28 pm #

        BRH – you haven’t seen the answer? Benjamin Crump, black legal genius, claims that if we make everything legal – there will be no more crime. How come it took so long to figure that out?

        • benr February 19, 2024 at 12:41 pm #

          Well, if we go by Mexico’s example of legalizing small amounts of drugs it isn’t working.

          On 21 August 2009, Mexico decriminalized the possession of small amounts of cannabis and other drugs in order to reduce the illicit drug activity. Maximum amounts which could be considered “personal use” were established.

          Murder rates are still climbing and Mexico is as big of a cesspool as it has ever been.

    “How the hell is Woodrow Wilson anywhere near the top half? He literally sold the country out under cover of night. Then again, I guess that puts him in close company with JB…”

    That’s because history, as a discipline, is dead. It’s mainly nothing more than advocacy now. Instead of studying what happened and why, for decades now “historians” have obsessed over black history, women’s history (“history is sexist because the name ‘history’ means ‘his story’ — we need to promote ‘herstory’ so we’ll finally understand ‘her story’ and elevate women to equality,” as the feminists have ranted for at least 35 years), Hispanic history, homosexial history — in short, Balkanizing the story of humanity because “traditional history is bigoted.” Since America is evil, presidents who did truly great deeds (or simply acted within the constitutional confines of their office) rank lower than those who are heroes to the socialist leftists who do the rankings — thus, FDR, Wilson, Biden, and The One rank higher than Reagan, Coolidge, and Cleveland.

    How did our story, history, become corrupted? I’ve described an example before: Emory Morton Thomas, Regents Professor of History at the University of Georgia, told a class of graduate students in February, 1990 that the only way to save America was to round up every Republican, stuff them into boxcars, and ship them off to concentration camps to be exterminated. As disturbing as that was, the worse thing was that the class roared with laughter. That was a rude awakening to me, as before then I thought everybody may have differing opinions, but at the end of the day we’ll all bury the hatchet and get along for the good of the country. Those other students, I’m sure, went on to pollute their students’ minds, and those students caused their students to hate America, and here we are. Multiply this story by the number of professors and college students over the course of decades, and you’ll see what we’re up against. But who has time to ponder that, when we’re either hustling to make a living or streaming Stranger Things and Game of Thrones?

      That’s because history, as a discipline, is dead. It’s mainly nothing more than advocacy now.

      A sad truth, now also spanning into the sciences, medicine, and (somehow) engineering. I have family and friends in academia, and they complain of this, but they then go with the flow and create their meaningless mission statements, falsify their data based on preconceived outcomes, and complete their diversity training anyway.

      The job is paramount – the sincerity of the discipline, not so much.

      History is the worst one to fall though. It’s also one of the hardest to make happen, as the volume of work that precedes our incapacitated young academics is hard to sidestep. But they’re finding a way to do it, as long as enough people feel it’s the right thing to do.

      • Uncle Bob February 19, 2024 at 12:22 pm #

        History was captured by the Left decades ago. You can’t get a PhD unless you kiss their asses, and you can’t get a teaching job without kissing the ass of a Sandinista-loving department head or get tenure if you aren’t full-on woke. Ignore the stories of the past because they’re all lies; instead, fabricate bullshit like the 1619 Project because it will make you rich and famous, while undermining the United States.

          The sickening part of it is that 50% of the American public buy off on their bullshit. As a country is the composite of its people, academia has condemned the country.

          Who does America represent?

However, we’re all led to believe America now is better than America circa 1945, despite the evidence to the contrary.

        @MrMango, Of all the nightmarish things I’ve seen in the last several years, the one that horrifies and enrages me most was the sight of books being removed from the library of a school in Pennsylvania and tossed into a dumpster. These weren’t trashy ephemera; they were the core books of Western civilisation – Shakespeare, the Bible, Milton, Dickens, Twain, Tolstoy, Chaucer . . . pretty much every great book that comes to mind. And, of course, every historian you can think of, de Tocqueville being atop the pile. It’s only a matter of time before they begin “decolonising” the Library of Congress. These books are inconvenient, and their disappearance will be a determined and coordinated effort that will be more successful than you can readily imagine.

            On our side of the fence, there is no real corollary to the purple haired, tattooed teacher who is obsessed with transing her kindergarten students or the HR hellcat prowling the halls of her company in search of white men who need re-educating. There are incalculable numbers of these creatures, and they have some things in common – the most notable of which is that they have no normal lives and lots of free time. Everything they do, everything they are, is ideologically obsessive. The system supports them in every way.

            Ordinary people, of the kind who surround me in my daily life, have jobs (often several), families, grass to be mown, meals to be made, gardens to weed, vegetables to can, houses to keep clean and repair . . . a plethora of demands on their time, to which they respond by giving that time.

            Most of the armies of lunatics wrecking the world for us have no such demands except perhaps to feed their cats. Further, their activities – no matter how outrageous – are unlikely to come with any consequences so they needn’t worry about the effect on their loved ones. They have no loved ones. They can devote all their spare time to making sure drag queens get to “perform” for your kids in school.

            We are at a real disadvantage in dealing with this. But I don’t think we’ve been failing to do our part. We simply don’t have the resources the other side wields.

            I don’t feel hopeless in spite of this. We have one resource we haven’t really used yet, and that is the ability to make things stop working. Everything we rely on to provide the comfortable lives that these dimwits take for granted is provided by US. When truckers and farmers, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, roofers, stop working – that’s the end. That’s where the real power is. Teachers, at every level, could go on strike indefinitely to the benefit of everyone. I have a little list; they never would be missed.

            “There are two fundamentally different ways of thinking.

            In one way, we believe that Meaning is outside of us, and we must look for it out there. We call it God, or The Universe, and what we find we call Truth.

            In the other way, we think that Meaning is inside of us, and we must project it outward. In this way of thinking we believe there is no God, and the Universe is meaningless chaos that we must write upon. And what we do to it, we call Good.

            Write to our congresscreatures? Even if any of them know how to read, do we really think they will listen to what we say?

            A lot of the people doing the real damage are unelected bureaucrats, from the blue-haired harpies at the local community college throwing western literature into the dumpster, to the WHO control freaks about to impose their Pandemic Agreement onto an ignorant and apathetic world.

            Take one example, the Pandemic Agreement scheduled to take force in May. It’s no longer called a “Pandemic Treaty” because a treaty would have to be voted on and approved to be enacted. How do we prevent this absolute loss of national sovereignty? Vote? Write? Carry signs and yell real loud? Drive trucks around in circles? Quit working?

          Rowdy, that was at Penn, an Ivy League school.

          Busts of Shakespeare, Melville, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Levy, Aristophanes, Dickens & a dozen other giants were also removed from the premises, and presumably destroyed.

          The new canon — the ones replacing the western classics — includes the work of Mao & Angela Davis, and a group of tranny, gay, and 3rd world revolutionary authors I never heard of.

          All of this happened at the same time the Chief Librarian at MIT, a Chinese woman, announced she was going thru the stacks and removing all books written by White Men who were not gay.

            Well, here’s something we can try to do to resist the erasing of our culture:

            If you hear that a local school, library, or other public venue is going to throw out real works of literature, go there and ask if you can dispose of them yourself – save them the hard work – that or pick them out of the dumpster.

            I’d be willing to bet that you would not be allowed to take the books, either from the library or from the dumpster.

          We did until Thee Roosevelt ushered Progressivism into American government. Taft wasn’t radical enough for him, so TR ran and lost, so we got the “level-headed” Wilson, who started tinkering in earnest so as to get Philip Dru, Administrator, who runs the country as an extra constitutional dictator. We’re close to that now: actual rights are taken away without a fight, while privileges (aka boons) are bestowed on whoever is seen as deserving of them: the murder of children by “oppressed” women; admission to college of people who can’t read, again due to oppression; criminal activity isn’t prosecuted while people who don’t accept the program are harassed despite not breaking laws; and more.

It seems YouTubers are doing the job major networks used to do. (which is probably why major networks are tanking) Equally eye opening was a clip of Mayor Breed blaming conditions in SF on ‘White Men.’ I have to say black leadership in our major cities is not working out too good.

It should be mentioned that the US Army (DOD) has a fleet of BIG Oshkosh all-wheel Drive cargo carriers able to supply several metropolitan areas if normal highway commerce is stifled. Things can still be ugly…

      Normal writing for yours truly is the train subject:
      “Second Dimension Surface Transport Logistics Platform”

      America’s cities had comprehensive food distribution railway links, with downtown food processing and warehousing for delivery trucks bringing loads to markets and suburbs. Notable rail food links in some big cities with “El”, commuter rail lines elevated, and sometimes connected with subway systems; standard perishable freight (groceries) boxcars were brought into town at night, unloading to refrigerated warehouses actually on the “El tracks. Sorted & moved into the surface delivery truck system at sunrise.

      Concerns with AI truck vulnerabilities prompts urgency to rebuild branch rail links into farm districts, including dispersed container handling enroute trunk rail mains, and recommissioned Army RR Battalions (Ft. Eustis VA template). More details by request through our webmeister.

            At least 20,000 Chinese migrants have been apprehended since October, as they have become the fastest growing demographic of border crossers
            Upwards of 250 Chinese nationals continue to be apprehended by CBP officials each day
            It comes after DailyMail.com revealed a CBP chief warned a Homeland Security committee that migrants with links to the CCP are slipping in undetected

Of course, I was called names by (to be polite) fucking asshole communist sympathizers like MS here. Why, nothing like that could happen! And anyway, America needs to be taken down a few pegs, so who cares?

            Again, America’s future is in Rev. 17 & 18. But we’re too ignorant to know this, and our preachers are too busy protecting their jobs and tax exempt status and (especially) donations by saying it’s no big deal if you sinned, we’re all going to Heaven anyway (despite what the Bible says) to do their job and tell their parishioners the raw, unadulterated truth.

    A completely verifiable fact is that Socialist regimes–and that is what the Democrat scum are that are currently controlling the U.S. Government and a significant chunk of states–are totally unproductive entities. Socialists are, by design, economically parasitic–their entire ethos is using the government to steal from productive citizens and transfer that largesse to unproductive citizens, with unproductive Socialist elites, of course, feeding first and deepest at the trough of stolen goodies.

    In some cases, this theft can go on for decades, especially if the Socialist regime has disarmed its own population (hmmm?), has rigged the election process to ensure their victory (hmmm?) and has persecuted, jailed, or killed its political opposition (hmmm?). But, what also frequently happens is that the productive part of the population simply moves out beyond the regime’s reach–leaving the country if necessary, carves its own country out of the mass of the Socialist “utopia,” or goes to revolution and/or war to throw the Socialist bums out of power. One or more of those three options is highly likely to transpire in the U.S. if the Socialist Democrat scum “win” one more national election. I won’t speculate about which one or more of the three it will be, but I would say that all three will be on the table if the current Socialist nonsense continues much longer. Productive people have had way more than enough of this Socialist bullshit.

    The city of Gulf Breeze, Florida has a state license to issue conduit bonds to real estate tycoons — who inflate the value of their real estate assets as Mr. Trump was convicted of doing:

    The “Affordable Housing Preservation Corporation” just 2 years ago bought an apartment house in Pensacola for $20 Million. They are now applying to borrow $60 Million on that property via tax free bonds issued by Gulf Breeze and bought by Templeton Funds. The bonds pay 7% tax free. The city of Gulf Breeze knows that the value doesn’t match the debt by a long shot but they don’t care because the city is just a middleman issuer and doesn’t carry any legal liability for repayment.

    Templeton is a huge fund manager and it’s their job to perform due diligence but ultimately the mom and pop muni fund investors are the ones bearing the risk.

    If the borrower can’t make bond payments and the small investors lose their investment, Templeton could be held liable for buying bonds in a scheme where the collateral was only 1/3 the value of the loan.

    “Affordable Housing” financing is full of schemes apparently. Even an apartment complex where 80% of the residents are millionaires is considered “affordable housing” so long as 20% of the residents earn a certain percentage less than the medium income.

      That’s the racket here in CA.

      “Affordable and inclusive” housing just went in down the street. Twelve units, $1M apiece for 10 of the units, $750k each for the “low income” folks. Both units were seniors, one had to be a person of color.

      If our town did not add “inclusive, high density housing,” a Obama era decree directed the Fed to withhold tax dollars for infrastructure repairs (money we paid them mind you).

      As a kicker, the developer received tax breaks and easements for the new residents. Laughed all the way to the bank.

        Here’s another kicker bob:

        The borrower (investor) owns another LLC which “advises” the borrow (investor). That advising LLC will get an instant $5.5 Million fee for the advising.

        In other words, it’s like you going to the bank for a $500,000 mortgage to buy a $450,000 house and the extra $50,000 goes into your pocket for advising yourself on whether or not to take out a loan. Even if you don’t pay back the loan, you still walk away with $50,000.

      @Bill of Rights,

      “The city of Gulf Breeze, Florida has a state license to issue conduit bonds to real estate tycoons — who inflate the value of their real estate assets as Mr. Trump was convicted of doing”

      There’s more going on here than meets even the critical eye, but I’m not a lawyer so cannot unravel all of it. However – as was pointed out in Trump’s “trial” by the actual bank who provided the loans, banks never abide by the estimate of the borrower and always do their own due diligence. I processed real estate papers for a year or so and I can attest that banks have their own appraisers and they rarely agree with borrowers as to value, and characteristically consider the borrower’s “estimate” as an optimistic guess. No decision is ever made on the basis of such estimates, particularly since borrowers are not themselves appraisers and aren’t considered to have any particular expertise.

      • Bill of Rights February 19, 2024 at 2:05 pm #

        Yes. It turns out that an independent appraisal has to be submitted by one (not 3) appraiser. That appraisal came in at $48 Million….2.5x the recent purchase price. That’s an inflated appraisal according to local realtors.

        You said the same thing about illegal aliens voting and yet!
        They are now voting in “local” elections in New York and California.

        Almost everything you post or say is wrong yet here you are spewing out crap all over.

        As of June 2023, the District of Columbia and municipalities in three states allowed noncitizens to vote in some or all local elections: California, Maryland, and Vermont.

        Joshua A. Douglas, associate professor of law at the University of Kentucky College of Law, published an article in 2017 stating, “Municipalities can expand voting rights in local elections if there are no explicit state constitutional or legislative impediments and so long as local jurisdictions have the power of home rule.” Some states, for example, require that changes to local charters get approval from state legislatures, thereby limiting municipal authority over voter eligibility laws, whereas other states do not.[7]

        Douglas identified 14 states—including California and Maryland—as posing no clear impediments to municipalities passing their own voter qualification laws:

        Arkansas
        California
        Colorado
        Illinois
        Maryland
        Nevada
        New Jersey
        New Mexico
        Ohio
        Oklahoma
        Rhode Island
        South Dakota
        Washington
        Wisconsin

            Yeah I like history. I like magic too. Florida was a magical place for me. Everything I touched turned to gold, or at least some kind of shiny semi-precious substance. In Michigan, everything I touch turns into a goddamned angry snappin’ turtle.

            By the way, I don’t eat breakfast. I find repeatedly hitting the snooze button far more valuable.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 19, 2024 at 11:42 am #

      I wonder how generational that loss of trust will be. The young ones coming up right now may see it all as normal, where us middle-aged and older folk will never trust the established authorities again, because we remember a different set of rules that worked.

      In the past two weeks I’ve had two acquaintances in their late 50’s and early 60’s, both in marathon running shape, collapse while exercising. They both have now had emergency heart surgeries, one quadruple bypass, one for afib. This is in addition to multiple cancers among friends and family over the past year or two. Also, my father dying of sudden stroke in December at age 76.

      Sorry for your loss. Though it does seem to be going around faster than normal these days…hard for me to believe that “we’re just at that age”.

      • Beryl of Oyl February 19, 2024 at 12:42 pm #

        BB, anger can be purifying in a way, can’t it?

      • JohnAZ February 19, 2024 at 2:15 pm #

        As the young ones never learned what normal is for those institutions, no wonder only the older more experienced folks understand what has been lost.

      • Ron Anselmo February 19, 2024 at 2:56 pm #

        Mango – sorry for your losses, especially your father. Promise me you’ll never forget.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 19, 2024 at 8:06 pm #

          Thanks, Ron. Impossible to forget.

          Shitstorm of a couple months. However, we’ve been very busy the last few months, and a month from now we will have my mom officially packed up and moved here to MN to live going forward, the FL house will go on the market the next day, and we can move on in a new way.

          • Ron Anselmo February 19, 2024 at 11:45 pm #

            That’s a good positive outlook. It’s better to have your mother close in times to come. Families need to close ranks and circle the wagons, I think, and that’s a good thing. So, that’ll be a plus.

            Remember your father fondly. The never forgetting is for those who are responsible. Like you, I’ve lost my mother, an uncle and more friends and acquaintances than I can count on two hands and now losing my father. All to the “vaccines”.

            I said “promise you’ll never forget” meaning those responsible. Over history, we’ve suffered traumas, collectively and personally – and say we’ll never forget. As time passes, part of the natural psychological healing process – the raw edges smooth out, which is healthy.

            But, also as a result, over time we forget those responsible as memories fade. I’ve promised myself that I will never forget, and in due time, those responsible will pay. Mark my words.

            I don’t really have arthritis. It just sounded good.

            That line came to me – as did many others, some now absolutely inscrutable – during a Psilocybin-induced brainstorm.

            “Alas, I can belong to no one Ron, that’s part of what makes me so dangerously irresistible.” ~ Blackbird

            Bird – all kidding aside, there’s much truth in ^this^. Men that treasure and refuse to give up their freedom, become almost irresistible to many women.

            Women tend to want to capture a man, making him run further and faster afield. As he runs, it stimulates her “prey drive” – like that of a dangerous dog – making him run faster still. Very few freedom-giving women.

            Just a thought – not psilocybin-induced – but like sticking my head up out of a foxhole. Ducking back down now to avoid any incoming.

            I just recently found out, that according to pop-sociology, there is this being known as the “Omega Male”, as opposed to the standard Alphas and Betas.

            Kind of ironic, ever since seeing the movie as a kid, I looked forward to being the “Omega Man”. Further proof – as if any more were needed – that we are all living in a dream I’m having. Or maybe I’m a character I’m playing in Second-SecondLife.

    Since I don’t watch the corporate news media (that’s my wife’s domain), please tell me if there is no mention of Biden’s incompetence. Even as dumb as many of my fellow Americans are, surely half of their number cannot be believing that Biden is seriously running for president again!

    • tuco22 February 19, 2024 at 11:55 am #

      Biden’s got too much to do to “finish the job.” He has to institute digital currency and eliminate cash, institute reparations to black people (regardless if their ancestors were enslaved), eliminate the 2nd amendment, maybe even gun confiscation, tying that to getting your benefits, for example. I would even look for him to eliminate Christmas as a national holiday because it’s too…something. The possibilities of being screwed by this administration are endless.

      • Night Owl February 19, 2024 at 6:35 pm #

        The deadline for the major changes in society (or rather the closing of the trap) are meant to be in place by 2030.

        Biden isn’t the marionette they are going to go with.

        I mentioned years ago that in conjunction with a lot of the stuff I had learned about the WEF, its tentacles, and their plans for the next decade or so, that buried on a German government website, there is a document that discusses a move toward post democratic societies.

        Schwab has said publicly that elections will no loner be needed.

        IMO, there will be a stronger attempt to delegitimize government , voting, etc., and then some kind of crisis that ends government as we know it. This will most certainly involve a financial crisis and the forced adoption of digital currency, etc.

        EU tards were just talking about this last week.

        • Night Owl February 19, 2024 at 6:36 pm #

          The WEF has warned that there will be a major “cyber attack” against banking before 2025.

          I expect that it will be blamed on Iran (with assistance from those pesky RussiaRussiaRussians! to be sure).

          If only mitch were still here to tell us all how to profit from this…

          • Night Owl February 20, 2024 at 8:49 am #

            Dunno. I could see them trying something to stop the US election from ending in a Trump presidency, but honestly, they are too far behind schedule to roll out the digital plantation just now.

            Germany is a great example. Nothing digital works properly here. The Germans are also very wary of cash disappearing. There are many restaurants and shops here that do not accept cards/digital.

          • Blackbird February 20, 2024 at 6:44 pm #

            We’ll see. I certainly hope not. I have just started resurrecting my economy, it would be a shame to have it destroyed in another controlled demolition.

            On the other hand, those WEFuckers have a pretty good track record of predicting the catastrophes they launch.

    • Paula D February 19, 2024 at 12:40 pm #

      Like your attitude but Europe still hasn’t stopped the invasions…So they are still losing. Until they can get all these Muslims and Negros out of there, they’ve lost that side of the battle.

      As for us here in America….It really depends on what we do and how we do it. The people in prison for J6 are still there….They probably feel betrayed by Trump also, or just taking one for him like that even though he’s being screwed with too….

          • Mike Sherman February 19, 2024 at 6:48 pm #

            The problem is not with the question, but with who is providing the answer – it’s entirely subjective.

            For example, I would definitively state that Drumpf ‘hates’ America because his attitudes towards and public statements about America are extremely negative. As well, his only motivation in everything he’s ever done is self-aggrandizement.

            However, I recognize that there may be only 3 or 4 commenters here who would agree with me, but being in the minority in an echo chamber/bubble of crazy doesn’t make me wrong.

    I am not looking forward to, or even expecting any realistic damage assessment upon those who are treating the free publicans as serfs in their stranger and stranger concoctions of reality and truth.

    I think we have significantly surpassed the deadline for the genteel sentencing that may have maintained a minimum level of credibility and trust in those who kept the benches warm in the esteemed judicial, academic, legislative, and other hallowed halls. Their only job was to make sure the rules of the nation are followed. Those rules are now constantly at the point of being rewritten to satisfy whoever occupies the seat at any particular point in time.

    Unfortunately, there is no single austere body on this physical planet that is capable of restoring faith and trust in what has become a slapstick theater sideshow that is only there to hide the cracks in the crumbling foundation of “western civ”, etc..

    If there is to be an earthly justice meted out to the self serving jokers who are incapable of admitting reality, it is going to come in an instant when the serfs eyes are finally fully opened, and they realize the depth of the crimes that have been perpetrated against them. I long for all those eyes to be opened. What will happen on that day? The consequences will be equal and opposite.

Yet, the old legendary Mother Road just isn’t there in spirit any more. That America was poisoned, buried in a shallow grave, and replaced by a Golem State that torments the Goyim..

    I had speculated that Putin’s history lesson was directed at Ukrainians, to remind them of their shared history. I’m sure that most Ukies watched the interview, since I saw that over 70% watched his last press conference, which lasted about four hours.

    And then I saw this…
    ://t.me/the_Right_People/29730/

    I had to look up Maxsim Krivonos because I never heard of him.
    Turns out he was a Cossack fighter who helped lead to the 1654 agreement Putin referenced.

    Coincidence? Maybe.

    • GreenAlba February 19, 2024 at 3:13 pm #

      Paula – this isn’t a reply to your post, but I’ve just been listening to Sasha Latypova speaking on the Shannon Joy show. A lot of it is on the covid democide, but from about 25 mins in, she gives her views on the Putin interview, which she listened to in Russian. She throws in a bit of history too, including the bits that Putin missed out. She also has views on how and why the interview was arranged and who arranged it. I don’t remember how long the Putin-interview bit is – maybe 20/30 minutes, then they move on to the DoD covid op. and its follow-up.

    I was listening to the radio yesterday and I heard a commercial for one of the supermarkets I hop at, and it was all about building communities.

    The words communism and community have a lot of the same roots.

    Nobody catches on.

    • cowbell81 February 19, 2024 at 3:22 pm #

      I don’t know about that. Throughout rural western Ohio there is a grocery chain known as Community Market. They are small, locally owned. They cater to the community, not a communist agenda.

      I would say that building community is a positive thing. Seems all too often today that we don’t even know our neighbors. If food can bring different people together then that is a good thing.

      • Beryl of Oyl February 19, 2024 at 4:30 pm #

        “Building communities” is part of the DIE agenda.

        I don’t need a supermarket bringing me together with anybody.

            No shop, in a store that doesn’t spend money “building communities” and maybe uses the money they are wasting on commie social programs on paying the help better or keeping the groceries affordable.

            I have been shopping in stores with other members of my community for decades without corporate involvement.

            That’s what going to the market is.

    I am operating under the assumption that Putin is a Western intelligence asset that was put into power to rule Russia as colonial satrapy of the global Zionist occupation government. Specifically, Putin was put into power by his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, who was a drunken, broken man who willingly acted as America’s puppet in dismantling Russia. When it looked like Yeltsin needed to be replaced, the globalists selected Putin to be his successor. Apart from Yeltsin, who was too out of it at that point, and who had no real power anyway, it was the ex-USSR’s top spook Primakov (real name Finklestein) and his Deep State counter-part Kissinger from the West who picked out and eventually settled on Putin.

      This is possible. But think of the parallels between Navalny and Trump. Both were/are being charged with fraud (largely politically motivated). Both were/are being accused of founding and funding an extremist movement (i.e. MAGA). Only one has been murdered/poisoned (thus far…).

      Although I am a much larger fan of Putin and his method of operating a country, compared to the sclerotic USA politics, you never truly know what is going on behind the scenes.

      Hopefully Trump will rise successfully from all of the legal hurdles that are being thrown his way, and then he will truly be able to unleash his full wrath upon the darkest forces in the deep state cabal.

      • FGB3 February 19, 2024 at 9:24 pm #

        Hopefully. Unless he’s just the “loyal opposition” to this predominant gang. Perhaps he’s a player just like the other players in this Kabuki Theatre.

        You know, there are several big things that Trump could have done to get us further down the road to Liberty. Or not done.

        Let me just point out one major thing: Has Donald Trump ever, to this day, admitted that he was conned by the whole Operation Warp Speed operation to introduce the vaccines?

        • C.O.Jones February 20, 2024 at 10:13 am #

          No FGB3, Donald Trump is far too narcissistic to ever admit a mistake, instead claiming to be the father of the vaccine – pronounced “death shot” – that “saved hundreds of millions of lives” but really killed millions.

          He is completely oblivious. To wit: have you heard the invitation he issued to the general public to come to Washington on Jan 6 and peacefully protest? The last thing he said in the recorded invitation was “it’ll be wild!” He made it sound like an invitation to a party.

          – Sycophants accept the invitation of their leader.
          – Sycophants arrested for showing up to protest a stolen election.
          – Years later, Sycophants still in jail, deprived of basic rights.
          – Dear Leader does Jack Flaming Squat to help them.
          – Sycophants still love the dear leader who hung them out to dry, vow to vote for him if only as convicted felons.

    • thirdcoastlegend February 19, 2024 at 6:22 pm #

      Eh.

      I prefer the version where Yeltsin, a broken, dying drunk realized what he had done to his people and his homeland.

      This shame motivated him to seek out the most capable young officer/operative/politician he was aware of, and issue him one final order, that order being, “Save Russia.”

      Putin really seems to have taken that to heart.

    I have no doubt that the gods have decided to grant mercy upon Jimmy Carter and let him pass away in peace; without the millstone around his neck of being the worst POTUS in U.S. history. Far worse came after him but, Biden has defeated them all.

    On paper, Jimmy Carter should’ve been a winner due to his education and honorable performance in the U.S. Navy. In practice, he was crippled by his devotion to Christianity and that made him unfit to rule Pandemonium aka the Wicked City of Washington.

    Jimmy Carter did do a couple of things right, if by accident. He DID establish a good Dept of Labor and made good choices in leadership there. I also remember the economy doing well for the first two years of his Presidency. Everything else was a failure.

    But, as mentioned before, his failures have been eclipsed by Biden and a few other POTUS’s since then.

    Mr Kunstler,

    New York Attorney General Letitia James is really something, as is Fani Willis, district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia. Two unbelievable peas in a Soviet pod. Among many others.

    I like your disgust of jb and the dark antics of The Administration. The Democrat party is way far afield of John Kennedy’s and FDR’s Democrat Party. It’s as though they’re collectively on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and imagining themselves a sort of political-social USA destroying WMD. It actually doesn’t seem to be restricted to the Democrat party, Western Europe is under the same spell. WTF!

    Fortunately, and judging from recent polls, it appears the average Joe (Haha!) can’t ignore it any longer and is concluding The Don is their best bet to get civilization back on track. When President Trump reoccupies the Oval Office, as a President who will enforce the laws that’re on the books, he will have no choice but to enforce those laws – I’m sure to the chagrin of powerful lawbreakers. Too bad for those who broke reams of laws in their selfish interest of trampling on the 1st Amendment (among other Amendments); spying on Americans while that spying was and is against the law, breaking laws in their zeal of political persecution, politically enforced dangerous medical treatment, ad-hoc destruction of Constitutional protections during the covid ’emergency’, et cetera.

    You’ve said a lot when you said, “Since “Joe Biden” is not actually calling the shots, one naturally wonders who is responsible for all the dubious achievements of the past three years.” I wonder if those “…responsible for all the dubious achievements of the past three years” might have broken laws while achieving those dubious achievements? Might “they” find themselves under the microscope? I wouldn’t want it to go the way of Maximilien Robespierre. But I would like to see laws enforced in the same manner as if it was you or I who broke those laws. Equal treatment under the law, wouldn’t That be something?

    Cheers

    The Obama clan is behind it all. Look at it this way. What president before Obama would have allowed the open border invasion by millions of illegals? While Obama deported a large number of illegals under his presidency, things are different now during his third term.

    Two important things happened since Obama left office. First, Trump was elected. Second, George Floyd and the nefarious knee. Trump was intolerable and so it was time to bring the uni-party idea to fruition, and Derek Chauvin made it clear that all whites were terribly toxic. So began the onslaught, and the noose around the neck of whites was drawn taught by black hate and disgust.

    Obama knew what needed to be done. Gain a third term by way of the doddering, stumbling and mumbling white ‘man’, Biden.

    As I said before, you’re now just a piece of bland white bread being slathered over by bitter, black butter, being chewed up and spat out onto the rank sidewalks of revenge.

        Who knows? Don’t rule Biden out. He only has to hold on ’till November then pass it on to Kamala. Sadly enough and hard to believe, but with legal outcomes for Trump still up in the air, Biden could still win, God forbid.

        As far as Michelle and the vox populi go, she could win it in a landslide. Look at what Balack Hussein did. And many whites might be feeling so guilty by now that they couldn’t vote otherwise. Fools.

        • SoftStarLight February 19, 2024 at 9:51 pm #

          As difficult as it is to imagine anything certainly is possible.

      Thanks for reminding me, Miss Starlight: what our host refers to as the “intracoastal waterway”, that body of water on the west side of Palm Beach, is more properly referred to as the Lake Worth Lagoon. The intracoastal waterway is basically an aquatic highway that threads through that lagoon, and others.

      To refer to the Lake Worth Lagoon as the intracoastal waterway is akin to referring to eastern Florida as I-95 – although the error is understandable, particularly in the latter case.

      Whatever Mr. Trump was doing with that manatee, there is a good chance it was consensual. Manatees are ridiculously friendly critters.

      • SoftStarLight February 19, 2024 at 10:10 pm #

        Well thank you for the littoral lessons, Mr. Blackbird. I certainly didn’t intend to refer to Florida as I-95. I think manatees are very similar to sea cows. They are herbivores. So that makes a big difference for sure lol. Some sharks are friendly too you know.

    Yeah, you knew it would happen. Putin commits another murder, has Navalny meet up with maybe some more Novichok, make him suffer.

    No cat and mouse toying around with Nemtsov. Bullet blasted in the back near the Kremlin back around 2015.

    Of course, Prigozhin was a dead man from the start.

    ‘What is known is that Navalny has joined the apparently ever-growing list of high-profile Russians who have died in mysterious circumstances. From plane crashes, accidental falls from windows to hangings, poisonings and health issues, the fates of some of those who dared to challenge the Kremlin are myriad.’

    Hundreds arrested for simply attending Navalny memorials. Yes, this is Russia, this is Putin. Freedom of speech will not be tolerated; you will be killed if you protest too much.

    Putin wants refugees to pour into Finland. Take that, NATO joiner!

        Good you put Biden in quotes. But there is a difference. Jan. 6th wasn’t a memorial for someone who was murdered, and Putin has been murdering people, and good people at that, for more than twenty years now.

            You would be dead wrong.
            i MEAN IT IS JUST yEMEN WHO CARES…RIGHT?

            Obama Killed a 16-Year-Old American in Yemen.

            IN 2010, PRESIDENT Obama directed the CIA to assassinate an American citizen in Yemen, Anwar al-Awlaki, despite the fact that he had never been charged with (let alone convicted of) any crime, and the agency successfully carried out that order a year later with a September 2011 drone strike. While that assassination created widespread debate — the once-again-beloved ACLU sued Obama to restrain him from the assassination on the ground of due process and then, when that suit was dismissed, sued Obama again after the killing was carried out.

            Two weeks after the killing of Awlaki, a separate CIA drone strike in Yemen killed his 16-year-old American-born son, Abdulrahman, along with the boy’s 17-year-old cousin and several other innocent Yemenis. The U.S. eventually claimed that the boy was not their target but merely “collateral damage.” Abdulrahman’s grief-stricken grandfather, Nasser al-Awlaki, urged the Washington Post “to visit a Facebook memorial page for Abdulrahman,” which explained: “Look at his pictures, his friends, and his hobbies. His Facebook page shows a typical kid.”

            Few events pulled the mask off Obama officials like this one. It highlighted how the Obama administration was ravaging Yemen, one of the world’s poorest countries: just weeks after he won the Nobel Prize, Obama used cluster bombs that killed 35 Yemeni women and children. Even Obama-supporting liberal comedians mocked the arguments of the Obama DOJ for why it had the right to execute Americans with no charges: “Due Process Just Means There’s A Process That You Do,” snarked Stephen Colbert. And a firestorm erupted when former Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs offered a sociopathic justification for killing the Colorado-born teenager, apparently blaming him for his own killing by saying he should have “had a more responsible father.”
            The U.S. assault on Yemeni civilians not only continued but radically escalated over the next five years through the end of the Obama presidency, as the U.S. and the U.K. armed, supported, and provide crucial assistance to their close ally Saudi Arabia as it devastated Yemen through a criminally reckless bombing campaign. Yemen now faces mass starvation, seemingly exacerbated, deliberately, by the U.S.-U.K.-supported air attacks. Because of the West’s direct responsibility for these atrocities, they have received vanishingly little attention in the responsible countries.

Most liberals’ heads would explode if they found out Navalny was a white-supremacist xenophobe. And why are they pretending he was some kind of threat to Putin when most Russians had no idea who he was and he was polling at about 4%?

          GA, then there’s this:

          Opinions
          Why Navalny was hated in the Kremlin and in some Western circles
          The late Russian opposition politician had a unifying spirit that threatened the beneficiaries of conflict.

          It doesn’t matter what caused the death of Russian politician Alexey Navalny; he was killed by Vladimir Putin’s regime.

          It was a slow execution that started with his poisoning with the Novichok chemical agent in 2020 and proceeded with sadistic torture in prison after his insanely daring move to return to Russia in January 2021.

          The official version about a blood clot suddenly killing the 47-year-old politician on Friday may or may not be true, but the blame for his death still remains squarely with the Russian president.

          Navalny was outstanding in every sense. Head and shoulders above all Russian and likely all contemporary European politicians in terms of charisma and bravery, he was a figure of hope that exuded immense optimism and displayed an irresistible sense of humour until his very last days in prison in the Arctic.

          He was a character akin to the Hummingbird in Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, a charismatic politician trying to prevent the spilt of the newly independent India. Navalny was a highly inspiring and unifying personality that was capable of bringing together what was breaking apart in this current epoch of conflict and polarisation.

          With his anticorruption crusade that exposed the illicit riches of top regime figures in a series of brilliantly produced YouTube videos, he built a vast support base and Russia’s biggest regional opposition network. He brought together liberals, nationalists and left-wingers – everyone who was tired of the corrupt securitocracy that has ruled Russia for a quarter-century.

          Navalny took opposition politics out of Moscow and St Petersburg into distant regions and small towns. Internet-savvy and very well versed in contemporary culture, he brought about a generational shift in the ranks of Russian opposition. His following to a large extent comprised 20-somethings or even teens who have never experienced any other political regime than Putin’s.

          He embodied the hope that changes could be brought about by non-violent resistance in the style of the velvet revolutions that brought down the communists in 1989-91. Born to a Ukrainian father and having spent some of his happiest childhood days in Ukraine, Navalny could have also potentially helped mend the rift between the two neighbours currently locked in a bloody war.

          Although his death is squarely on Russia’s political leadership, the hope he represented was shattered by the renewed geopolitical confrontation between Russia and the US-led West. He was a thorn in the eye of the beneficiaries of this conflict – first and foremost among them being Putin himself.

          But Navalny and his movement were also an object of incessant bashing by anti-Russian troll farms and hawkish pro-Ukrainian figures linked to the military-industrial complex and securitocratic blobs in the capitals of NATO countries.

          Accusations thrown at Navalny boiled down to him being a Russian nationalist who would have done the same thing as Putin – but perhaps even more efficiently because he would have clamped down on corruption.

          In the beginning of his political career, Navalny indeed flirted with far-right politics, but he drifted away from it to straightforward pro-Western liberalism a long time ago.

          There is no straightforward answer to the question of how Navalny would have acted had he indeed become the Russian president instead of Putin. It is indeed difficult to say to what extent all that happened between Russia, Ukraine and the West was about personalities. It is important to remember Putin himself underwent an evolution from a West-backed nominee of the Russian liberal elite to a murderous authoritarian – a process in which the West’s frivolous and arrogant attitude to Russia’s core security interests played no small role.

          A few weeks into Russia’s full-out invasion of Ukraine two years ago, one of the main spokespeople for the Ukrainian government at the time, Oleksiy Arestovych, said that a Russian liberal-democrat president would have also invaded Ukraine in the same manner – such was the logic of geopolitical confrontation.

          That kind of thinking presumes that the US-led West was intent on humiliating Russia in the way no Russian leader would have ever accepted – delivering a strategic defeat upon it. That’s indeed something that many hawkish commentators in the West are calling for today.

          Navalny was first and foremost a Russian politician, which is why he made what felt like a suicidal choice to return to Russia after surviving the poisoning.

          That was the only way to remain politically relevant in Russia. He didn’t want to be anyone’s stooge. In the West, he would have been at best like General Charles de Gaulle in London during World War II – mistrusted and isolated. How would have he managed the insane xenophobic attacks on social platforms his exiled allies are being subjected to on a daily basis now? How would have he reacted to visa and travel restrictions that harm anti-Putin Russian exiles to a much greater extent than the supporters of the regime?

          Unlike de Gaulle, he would have had few chances of returning and playing a role as the geopolitical conflict was strengthening Putin’s regime and threatening to usher another half a century of cold war and iron curtains in Europe.

          In Russia, he thought he could at least gamble on the growing war fatigue and become an East European version of Nelson Mandela, waiting for the hour of freedom.

          Had he miraculously succeeded in coming to power, he would have still faced a very hostile West inclined towards defeating and humiliating Russia rather than finding a common language and an uneasy compromise.

          Yet, he was a very different man than Putin in that he was simply not the kind of politician who thrived on conflict. He was not a man from the current epoch of confrontation and polarisation. He perhaps belonged to the better future that Eastern Europe may still attain after years of misery.

          Would he have succeeded in finding compromise-leaning interlocutors in the West and sidelining trigger-happy hawks? He would have had a fair chance. This is why he was such an unloved figure in those circles.

          Navalny is a tragic figure and in that sense perhaps only comparable to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy – initially a highly unifying pro-peace figure who is now forced to wage an increasingly hopeless battle against the grand master of conflict, Vladimir Putin.

          But Navalny has nurtured a generation that may have dozens or hundreds like him in its ranks who can work to achieve the “beautiful Russia of the future” as he famously called it in his main political manifesto.

          I read a comment this morning (total hearsay, obviously) that Navalny took 5 covid shots. If that is true, the fashion of his demise isn’t even that unusual. And I say that as one, who, unlike many of the Putin worshippers on here, fully accepts that Putin is pro-jab, pro-CBDC, pro-digital ID and pro-global digital gulag, despite ostensibly defending his country’s borders against the NATO machine. He just wants his citizens’ digital chains to be Made In Russia.

          As far as I’m concerned, Navalny was most likely a covid jab death or done in at a time convenient to his CIA/MI6 handlers. That doesn’t even necessarily rule out Putin’s involvement. Since the Skripals, especially, I have no doubts about Russian/MI6 collusion – they all ultimately have the same Boss, as far as I’m concerned.

    “‘Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall’ the report states.”

    So, a ‘more traditional style’ of presidential leadership is to fully sell out to the Dark State and Woke Mob and MIC and Big Harm-a Pharma. To leave America’s borders wide-open and to punish courageous governors from trying to keep border integrity and illegal aliens out of the United States. To keep insisting how functional you are when everyone else in the World can see that you are not. To gets lots of plastic surgery so that your face has been pulled so tight it looks ready to explode at any moment. And to show more interest in the flavor of pudding the White House Chef is stirring up for you than anything else.

    To brazenly represent and advocate for only half of America while ignoring and vilifying the other half. To promote dysfunctional individuals and those with loyalties to another country and place them in high positions of great influence. And to show more interest in young girls than in trying to help the fate of a currently-persecuted and besieged class of White Americans who are just not Woke enough or ‘Of Color!’ enough while championing body-plumbing-haters and those who think that normal sexual activity is perverse.

    And who sides with and shows more allegiance to one pampered and propped-up Middle Eastern Nation than to the one he spends most of his time living in and laughingly purports to lead.

    So that is more ‘presidential’!?

    How nice to see one of you guys finally admit all that! Nice of you to catch up to that assessment like the rest of us.

Because they have to destroy nations in order to make way for the global state. Its the whole Babylon thing renewed for a different age.

    Yes, Nelson Mandela. He fought for his people, unlike our president, and he used violence against violence. Many would love to see burning tires around the necks of Biden and the Obama clan. Maybe you wouldn’t. Too cruel? Maybe.

    Your brush is too narrow to paint the full picture. It’s always “The Bloody Sire”.

    Would you slash or stab in a knife fight? Circumstances, situation, necessitation.

    • TruthSeeker1986 February 19, 2024 at 9:18 pm #

      Chief Sitting Bull fought for his people as well. Quite stupid to dick ride African leaders because that’s the hip shit to do nowadays with these confused ass Caucasians.

      Don’t understand why the first person that comes to their mind is a Negro when they think of someone who “fights for their people.” Just wear a black panther shirt already and say you love Malcom X, MLK, and all the other fucking frauds that “fought” for their people.

      • tucsonspur February 20, 2024 at 2:49 am #

        The Black Panthers, Malcolm X and MLK did fight for their people. Many died doing so. Recognizing that fact doesn’t mean that you love them or even like them.

        “Fucking frauds”? Tell that to Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, if you only could. It was Hampton who said, “You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution”. Where is our Revolution? Right, in the cracker barrel.

        Here’s the quote:

        ‘In Russia, he thought he could at least gamble on the growing war fatigue and become an East European version of Nelson Mandela, waiting for the hour of freedom.’

        This is not said by me, remember, and the point is not that Navalny supported Mandela but that he was simply ‘waiting for the (same) hour of freedom’.

        And what the fuck are you doing about the current black onslaught besides crudely popping off about ‘dick rides and fucking frauds’?

        You pussies out there can’t even bring yourselves around to use the word nigger even when it’s deserved.

      And another thing Vlad The Impaler used violence against violence as well. But he also did it to people who weren’t violent. Mandela was guilty of this same shit. I remember reading an article how they had a woman dragged out into the street, beat her badly, set her on fire and raped her with broken glass shards. Fuck that POS.

    Bidens history is catching up to him since he palled around with a known KKK member in Byrd.
    Never mind these are probably FEDS all dressed up hoping to get a couple of idiots to join up.

    ‘Blood Tribe’ Neo-Nazi Group Marches Through Nashville, Leader Expresses Support For Biden And Ukraine

    As they marched through Nashville, Tennessee, a group of White supremacists, whose group goes by the name “Blood Tribe,” wore black balaclavas, masks that hide one’s face like ski masks, and red shirts with Swastika flags on them.

    On Sunday, the group were approached by one man in an incident that has since gone viral online, according to media sources.

    “Show yourself—what are you ashamed of?” the man reportedly yelled to the neo-Nazis.

    Blood Tribe members reportedly venerate Adolf Hitler as a divinity and adhere to White supremacist beliefs, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Additionally, female participation is prohibited in the movement, which opposes “white supremacists who call for softer ‘optics.’”

    According to the ADL, the Blood Tribe views itself as “the only path to a White ethnostate.”

    The protesters may have been from out of town since there were no reported arrests and the group left in a U-Haul truck that eventually drove out of the Nashville area, according to police and witnesses who allegedly followed them.

    The neo-Nazis can be heard chanting “deportation” in several videos that have been made public.

    During the march, the man approached the neo-Nazis and asked, “Best you got? Present your f***ing faces to me. What happened to your face?”

    “Get out. Your people poop in the street,” a Blood Tribe member said to the man in response.

    The man then said, “You don’t know my people,” in response to the remarks made by the neo-Nazis. While shouting “f***ing cowards,” the man continued to follow the march.

    Meanwhile, Democrat Tennessee Representative Aftyn Behn said that her “office is closely monitoring the Nazi rally downtown.”

    “These groups, once relegated to the dark corners, now feel empowered to spew their noxious ideology out in the open due to our state’s leadership REFUSING to condemn their speech and actions,” Behn said on X (Twitter).

    “On Friday last week the Court of Appeal made a significant ruling that upheld a previous High Court judgement that the New Zealand Defence Force’s workplace Covid-19 vaccination mandate is unlawful.

    Since then, just one online media outlet has reported this ruling. This solitary report was also behind a paywall – so not accessible to the vast majority of the public.

    No other mainstream media outlet has made any mention of this ruling which clearly identifies that people’s rights and freedoms were significantly eroded by an unlawful direction from the previous government.

    It is unbelievable that nothing was mentioned on the television main news channels, radio, or other online platforms.

    The significant finding of the Court of Appeal included upholding a previous ruling in High Court of the affect these forced mandates had on the New Zealand Bill of Rights.

    New Zealand First has always believed that in any robust and enduring democracy an accountable and balanced fourth estate is essential.

    However, instead of the public being informed of the facts and truth of a significant ruling from one of our highest courts, they have been exposed to a prime example of the unrelenting bias of much of our mainstream media.

    There is no other logical reason or excuse as to why New Zealanders have not been properly informed.

    This ruling has significant ramifications for the current Covid Inquiry, not only highlighting the inadequate terms of reference that were previously created under the last government, but also the significant ramifications for the justification of all previous and remaining mandates in all workplaces.

    It is deeply concerning that New Zealand’s mainstream media has neglected to inform New Zealanders of this important and significant finding that directly affects New Zealander’s rights and freedoms in our democracy.”

        @SSL

        The New Zealand First party, led by Winston Peters (whose name is on the above propaganda piece, dutifully swallowed by the weirdo living in Germany) is the third party in the current governing coalition, so it’s in no need of ‘immunity’, whatever you mean by that.

        Winston Peters himself has been in Parliament (on and off) since 1978 and started NZF in 1993 when he was kicked out of National (the equivalent of the Republican party in NZ politics even though it’s way left of the Democrats).

          Ah ok. Yeah I was meaning like Jacinda Ardern is likely immune from prosecution for acts she took while in office. I noted a long time ago that she was one of the only ones, maybe the only one, of that crop that actually voluntary stepped down. I would’ve thought someone who was evil to the core wouldn’t step down or have second thoughts about their activities.

          She’s not only an insufferable fascist, Mike, she’s a fucking liar. Truth to her is foreign as a real man’s penis – I’m certain neither has ever entered her – one can easily see why. Stop being such a pussy.

            Then you show yourself as a blithering foamin-at-the-mouth cunt with an attack on her gender. You know nothing, and it shows. Jacinda is married to a male, Clarke, and has a young daughter with him, (called Neve Te Aroha Ardern-Gayford, now 5 years old).

    “During the 35 years that I’ve known Joe Biden, he’s always demonstrated his core decency. He has shown his affection and esteem for my family by displaying a bust of my father in the Oval Office.

    I suspect that the White House decision to deny me Secret Service protection — and many other more important decisions — are being made, not by the President himself, but by the anonymous men in lanyards who now seem to be running our government.”

    – RFK Jr.

    I told you all Junior is naive. It was Mayorkas, Biden’s Secretary for Homeland Security. If Biden doesn’t know who picked his own Secretary, or doesn’t like what his own Secretary is doing, can Bobby give me a reason why this decent guy doesn’t know what is going on, other than he is incompetent?

    Explain to me why Biden does not just order the border closed. He has that power? Someone else is making his decisions for him?

    Why would that be?

    Come on, Bobby, you can do better than that. You think if you ask nice he will reconsider leaving you vulnerable to being killed?

        “Racism” is the favorite word of Jews who find themselves (or their minions) cornered.

        Racism is actually one of the finest virtues among men. It fosters a healthy preference for one’s own breed and a healthy intolerance for interlopers. Every one except Whites are allowed to exercise that Natural Right.

        Whites (especially the defamed Older Employed Straight White Man) need to throw Rabbi Shlomo off our collective backs and claw back the unused balance of our racial inheritance plus interest and penalties upon those who’ve frozen our racial-cultural account.

        I think every synagogue and Jewish NGO should have Reparations Taxes levied upon them. Not just to Whites but, to the Blacks who were brought over here on Jewish slave ships.

          Jim it’s their favorite word because it works. It works due to how soft white people have become. Blacks don’t give a damn if they are called racist or phobic. Hell in Africa alone they openly admit to hating gay people and would outright kill them. What white nation do you know of where White people have admitted to wanting to murder gays?

          They aren’t allowed to, instead they have to embrace the gayness, allow the days to corrupt their kids, allow the gays to spread their idealogy in everything. But in Africa? Forget about it. It’s the same shit with ethnicity and nationality. Jews feel threaten by Whites and Asians, but not blacks and brown people. THey consider them inferior and easier to manipulate to they use them against white people.

          Oh,BTW, thanks for informing me that Jews were the ones responsible for bringing slaves to America. Nobody else did slave trading. Only Jews bought Black slaves, too

          Why should Christians get away with not paying reparations, though? I mean did every Southerner not buy saves?

            Hope you enjoyed your vacation in Florida. Especially in the safer White areas.

            Muh Six Million NEVER HAPPENED. I have very old news articles of the Six Million being claimed BEFORE Hitler was in power!!! Muh Six Million is a magnificent LIE that was agreed upon in the Zionist Occupied Institutions and enforced as the truth since then.

            In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston’s interrogator, O’Brien, let loose a bit of how Jewish power operates.

            “All the confessions that are uttered here are true. WE MAKE THEM TRUE. And above all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us.”

            When unsophisticated Whites who don’t know how the Jews operate are caught in the Shaming Trap, they are forced to confess their sins before the rabbis and their secular counterparts in the Media. VIP’s are forced to go to the Wailing Wall (remains of an old Roman fort actually), put on kippas for the cameras, and undergo the Ritual of Humiliation because they never stopped to learn about the Jews and their power to shame, gaslight, and blackmail their victims. Having no proof or basis whatsoever save to fulfill the evil Torah’s commands to desecrate the idols (national monuments and things we revere) and kill the best of Gentile men (both actual and slander).

            Indeed, let me quote from Rabbi Friedman, a foremost Chabad spokesman for Jewry:

            “I don’t believe in western morality, i.e. don’t kill civilians or children, don’t destroy holy sites, don’t fight during holiday seasons, don’t bomb cemeteries, don’t shoot until they shoot first because it is immoral. The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle).”

            BLM and any black on White death is Jewish War via proxy.

            Civil Rights is Jewish hate of Whites by legal and political proxy.

            Feminism is Jewish War via proxy against both men and women.

            Aggressive promotion of race mixing is Jewish War against the White race (paraphrasing Abe Foxman of the ADL).

            Ramming LGBTQ down our children’s throats is Jewish War against our children.

            I can keep going if you’d like. All you and your peers can do is lambast me with hatred because you CANNOT deny the dirty bedsheets that I have hoisted high up on the flagpole where all can see them. All you can do is rage against me for making you take the same medicine that your peers have been shoving down White throats for at least 70 years in the U.S. and for centuries in Europe.

        A proper hunt has three kinds of dogs: Blood hounds for following the trail, sight hounds for running the prey down, kill dogs for killing the prey once brought to bay.

        The Afghan Hound is the fastest breed of dog over broken ground. Central Asia has many breeds of huge killing dogs.

        Ben asks, what of the noble dog dog? But I answereth not.

        Wolves, the archetypal generalists, have a bit of all three. Tremendous endurance. Unable to escape a wolf pack, cougars have been seen “treed”.

    Well, I’m leaving for home in a few hours. I just want to explain why I’ve chronicled my experiences on this trip.

    JHK has been saying for years how life will be in the near future. Joseph Tainter states that hyper complexity eventually brings about collapse. I’ve always believed this and my current trip, at least to me, has shown how it is true. I just wanted to validate them, even if I’m preaching to the choir.

    I’m not happy having to travel back by plane. I’m dreading the ordeal. Nothing works. We accidentally left a travel bag in our room when we checked out in the morning.We called the hotel from First Watch to tell the hotel staff to get the bag and store it. Our plan was to drive back there anyway because our plane wasn’t due to leave until 6:15 or so. We could lounge around until leaving the hotel later in the day. The front desk assured us that they would store the bag and call us when they did. Check-in for the next group was for 4 pm. What could go wrong? Well, we never got a call. Until I got the bag in my hands, I was anxious (the bag had both our iPads and a few other things.

    When we got back to the hotel, we went to the front desk. Lo and behold, they had our bag. But they never called us. So we had to suffer some anxiety – as if they gave a shit.

    In another 2 hours we drive to the airport. Probably – but hopefully not – we’ll have more stories to tell.

    I want to end

      Hang in there Bill. Once you make your way out of the hyper complexity you should never go back. You know, hyper complexity naturally wants to eat you alive.

        I want to end this post on a good note. Last night we had supper at a fine Italian restaurant. It was very busy, so they put us in a banquet room in the back. We sat near a group at a banquet table. Soon after we sat, we saw a man get down on his knees, take out a ring and propose to a woman. She jumped up, crying and hugged him fiercely.
        Everyone else at the table applauded. One of the table people came over to give us a rundown. Turns out all the table people knew that the man was going to propose, except the wife-to-be. They kept it a secret from her. The person who explained it to us said that many times someone almost let it slip. That was so sweet!

        • SoftStarLight February 20, 2024 at 3:05 pm #

            Bird – good point on the high-class strip clubs. You and I – I gather – are about the same age. In the very early ’90’s, after the breakup of the USSR, almost all the dancers were Russian – they all came to the USA.

            Having grown up during the cold war – the Russia! Russia Russia! of old – I remember the euphoric feeling having a conversation with one of the girls one night, that we, she and I, were sharing a conversation that wasn’t possible in years past, simply due to world politics.

            She was raised that we were bad, and we were raised that she was bad. It was a real eye-opener. Truth told, so was she.

        Anyway JHK is right, and at my trauma hospital in Western NYS we are at 100 to 115% full. We broke a record last week that we were beyond capacity, all our area hospitals. When our couple of news reporters that are left asked our medical director a practicing physician if help was on the way, he said no the system is crashing. WOW I thought the truth. But not to worry I hear the Bills will go the playoff again next year.

    1) Tucker flies private or at the very least, never handles his own luggage – how else can you explain the fascination with the great technological breakthrough of those coin-operated shopping carts?

    2) Tucker has never been inside a supermarket himself. Everything was so fascinating to him.

      The streets of Moscow looked measurably better than the streets of San Francisco. No hordes of fentanyl zombies, vagrants living under filthy tarps, piles of human feces on the sidewalks, looted shops, parked cars with smashed in windows, IV needles laying about … or a general apocalyptic hue about the place. The irony is the former capital city of Marxism appears prosperous & orderly … and San Francisco a total lefty 3rd world sh#thole.

        Apparently there are smart phone apps that can scan anyone’s forehead (and, presumedly, hand) and quickly determine the number of COVID-19 shots that the subject willingly submitted to via the amount of Lucerifase in each shot. In the report I saw, the person’s forehead on the smart phone app had sort of a fluorescent look with green specks and squiggles of Lucerifase.

    Anger, resentment, pique and those sorts of emotions and feelings will keep you at a lower vibration. In this state you are not as clearly projecting your energies into the world around you. You also leave yourself open to entities that are nourished from that low vibration because it does contain, in fact it is mostly primal frequencies. So its best to transit through this level at the quickest pace you can muster.

    It’s also true that some people receive energy from the actions of others around them that can be construed as punitive or perhaps simply passive aggressive. And these people can incorporate that energy and extract positive outcomes or realities from that energy which in balance was originally mostly negatively phased. So it’s almost like you really do always have to be careful what you wish for and try to be so present and so intentional within your actions. I mean, I don’t tell people what to do but just sharing some observations which may be interesting or even better helpful to someone else.

      “…and try to be so present and so intentional within your actions.” ~ SoftStarLight

      Yes Dreamy, declaring your intentions and projecting them outward helps make them manifest.

      Instead of saying I’m going to do such and such, say I intend to do such and such.

      Thought, word and deed in concert, create our reality. Be present and think about your intentions – the thought. Stating your intentions – the word – reinforces the thought. Act on your intentions – the deed.

    Yes, I do like convenience and I appreciate my supply chains. I also see that the whole point of modernization was dehumanization, unbeknownst to most of the people who championed it and made it a reality. Almost like there is always a hidden hand. And I don’t think it’s a human hand. Just like there is no discernable human purpose for terraforming the Earth by specifically reducing biodiversity through things like nanoparticle particulates etc. It’s kinda analogous to the Biden regime situation. There is no way it is just incompetence. At a certain point it is intentional. Well similarly, if the agenda seems dehumanized or non-human, well perhaps just perhaps it really is a non-human agenda.

    “… There is an appeals process that leads, you may be sure, to a dismissal of that inane judgment and the puerile hypotheticals that the case derived from. And, by and by, you also might expect a countersuit for malicious prosecution when all that smoke clears.” ~ JHK

    That which is so easily lost, is that the various issues that pertain to this coup, are a no lose proposition, no matter how they play-out.

    My bet is that there will be an exodus out of New York, and that the government should expect declining tax revenue, at a time when they will have increasing costs.

    By the time Trump wins an appeals process, his property holdings could be worth substantially less, if he could even find a buyer. Sure, someone ought to have an interest in buying his real estate holdings at fire sale prices, because they could be used to house the illegal immigrants, and the government would pick up the tab.

    Looking at this from any perspective, they succeed in destroying the existing format for life, it is just a matter of degree.

    Then there is this one:

    The Ruse of Bitcoin & Crypto

    “Larry Fink has changed his tune on crypto, saying suddenly it could “revolutionize finance,” endorsing an industry he once viewed with skepticism. Of course, as a board member of Scwab’s WEF, the crypto zealots cheered. Still, they think that Bitcoin can replace the dollar and end inflation, which they think is the result of paper money.

    Worse still, they are telling people Bitcoin is going to be $60,000+ and fail to comprehend that even assuming that the dollar was replaced with Bitcoin, a rally then in the currency would subject the country to a Depression as took place during the 1930s.

    What made the depression so great was that private assets collapsed, and there was a flight to quality being cash. If Bitcoin replaced the dollar, the country would collapse, the debt would be unpayable or serviced, and private assets would decline, including gold.”

    **

    Even Armstrong seems oblivious to the goal that the object is to destroy the existing format for life. The more ridiculous the proposal, the more damaging it is to the existing format for life, no matter how it plays-out.

    If “Joe Biden” doesn’t win the 2024 election, the next president will be saddled with a bag of sh**.

    The destruction isn’t happening because of incompetence, it is happening by design!

    Stephen A. Smith can’t face the truth:

    ESPN host Stephen A. Smith says a Black author “should be ashamed of herself” after writing a Newsweek opinion piece criticizing Georgia district attorney Fani Willis’ demeanor while responding during her testimony last week, referring to the Fulton County prosecutor as “defiant” and “childish” in the op-ed.

    Author and conservative podcast host Kira Davis penned the opinion piece for Newsweek titled, “Fani Willis Is an Embarrassment to Black People. She’s the Proof That DEI Only Hurts Us.”

    Willis last week took to the stand to answer questions and defend herself against misconduct allegations regarding her personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade during an evidentiary hearing as lawyers attempted to get Willis disqualified from the racketeering case accusing Donald Trump and some of his allies of interfering in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.

    In the opinion piece, Davis writes that Willis’ prominent position and the historic nature of the Trump case “put her in an elite class most Black people will never even dream of reaching.”

    She writes, “One would expect such a person to be polished and classy, and able to remain so even while responding to an uncomfortable barrage of questions on the witness stand.

    “Instead, what we got was a defiant, childish, sour woman who spoke with the sophistication of [a] teenage girl at her first college party,” Davis said.

    “It wasn’t simply that she sounded angry—she also sounded stupid,” she continued.

    Davis, a frequent contributor to Fox News, Newsmax, and other far-right media outlets, starts off the piece identifying herself as “a Black woman and working professional,” also suggests that Willis, a career trial lawyer who took office after being elected as Fulton County’s first Black woman district attorney in January 2021, was a diversity hire.

    The author wrote that while she and her husband viewed Willis’ testimony, they felt they “were watching [the] result of a diversity-first system that ends up elevating the weak while simultaneously besmirching the strong.”

    Smith, who hosts “The Stephen A. Smith Show” in between his regular morning slots on the sports talk show “First Take,” took to X to share his thoughts on Davis’ piece, saying that whatever Willis may have done wrong, diversity, equity, and inclusion was an unrelated issue.

    “The office that she has – no one is disputing that she’s qualified for it,” Smith said in response to the op-ed. “You may not like her and her personal choices, having a relationship with a contemporary, I get that part, but to sit up there and to say … it’s a DEI issue just because she’s in her position is utterly ridiculous.”

    Smith also blasted Davis for commenting on Willis’ “attitude” while responding to questions on the stand.

    “That attitude came out in her, and because of that, that compromises the qualifications?” Smith says heatedly. “It makes no sense, Ms. Davis.”

    Davis’ op-ed goes on to comment on what the writer perceived as Willis’ “foul demeanor and childish expressions,” which Davis said “only serve to magnify the grotesque consequences diversity hiring has for Black America in general.”

    Soon it will be black history year, black history decade, century. Will there soon be a white history month, week, day?

    Problem, reaction and solution.

    wide open boarder
    do nothing till it gets critical
    Say its not your fault and the put a band aid on it.

    According to a source close to the president, specifically a senior White House staffer, next month’s State of the Union address that U.S. President Joe Biden is considering making will highlight the “bold move” of him signing an “executive order that would dramatically stanch the record flow of migrants into the Southwest,” Axios reported.

    Therefore, it shows that Biden did have the authority to make this decision throughout the border chaos, even though he previously claimed that the issue was out of his hands.

    Last month, Biden stated, “I’ve done all I can do” to resolve the border problem. He declared, “If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border right now,” in pushing for the Schumer-Lankford bill.

    Although Biden has been called “an elderly man with a poor memory,” it is truly eye-opening to see how he could have forgotten that he has this authority. The president declared shortly after prompting the border crisis that the sudden increase in illegal immigration was normal, claiming that this “happens every single solitary year.”

    Alejandro Mayorkas, the recently impeached Secretary of Homeland Security, has consistently reassured Congress and the public that the border is secure, despite the fact that his agency has released nearly 3.5 million illegal immigrants into the United States.

    In addition, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has claimed that Biden has “done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has!”

    Due to how blatant and repetitive the administration’s false claims regarding immigration have been, and how negative the results have been, this stunt right before the 2024 election may not be as successful as Biden assumes.

    The “bipartisan” Senate bill was designed to be rejected by Republicans, allowing Democrat candidates to place the blame for the border situation on their shoulders. However, the entire justification for a rushed border measure disappears if the president stops the widespread infiltration of the border on his own, as Republicans have argued throughout the years.

    The possible executive order’s language was not disclosed in the leak about the president’s plans, but Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows the president to have the power to “suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens” at any time, for as long as he would like, if he believes that allowing them in “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

    Biden could also reverse some of the more than 500 immigration-related acts that he has enacted over the previous three years to make it simpler for illegal immigrants to enter and remain living here. For example, he could choose to hold border jumpers, rather than release them, as required by law.

    In January, there were almost 6,000 illegal immigrants a day at the southern border, which was a drop from the almost 10,000 day in December 2023. Thousands of illegal immigrants are released into American cities every day where they are taken to shelters, hotels, or other establishments who are willing to house and feed them.

      • JohnAZ February 21, 2024 at 10:25 am #

        I remember the folks saying the real cause of the open border is the fact that the liquidity provided by the illicit trades is the only thing keeping the IMF and US Treasury afloat. I believe it. BTW, an announcement was made that next year the interest on the debt will surpass military spending. What a legacy, Biden et al.

      The failed Bill wanted to reduce the flow to 5000 a day. Why? If they could do that, they could reduce the legal influx to 0.

      Why do we have to bargain to get what is ours by right?

      The illegal flow could be reduced to about 0 but ruining any employer who hired them. But our money grubbing society wouldn’t dream of hurting the heroes, the Capitalists!

      Good morning! I have an idea. I think that the Statue of Liberty should be removed. Why, you may ask. Well, there are objects and things that are cursed. And a gift is not always given in good faith. I may wish to invite many guests into my home. But guests will stay for a time, and then they will depart to their various paths and destinations. I am unable to house the world. The Earth itself is the world’s house. The Earth is greater than me. These simple meditations can help. We get ahead of ourselves when we imagine ourselves to be greater than we are. We need to recenter and refocus.

            If our nature was completely ruined, how would we even know it? Or even care? It was gravely damaged, but not ruined.

          How about the wolf in The Three Little Pigs? He sniffed out and snuffed out them little oinkers like there was no tomorrow. So what if he doesn’t have a name – he’s a wolf! Clint Eastwood’s characters in those spaghetti westerns didn’t have a name. He was like the Big Bad Wolf (not a real name by the way…) on horseback with two six-shooters. That’s who I want on my side.

      “When we entered our house, I realized how much I missed it.”

      Glad your last leg was uneventful, Bill.

      We’re away for a week on the Isle of Bute (west coast – Argyll, Clyde Estuary – the ferry crossing is only 35 mins). Very run down compared to the 60s, when I was last here as a child).

      It was just for a change of scene, to use up leave that my husband needed to take before the end of March. These days, we mostly go to places that (a) are near a railway station and (b) don’t involve any legs of the journey that are too long for the dog.

      My husband has complained every day about the lack of ‘normal’ things in the kitchen. There isn’t a pair of kitchen scissors, or tongs, or a vegetable steamer or a collander. The oven and grill are pristine – he reckons no-one has ever cooked anything here.

      The bedroom walls are covered in pictures and framed lyrics of (mostly) David Bowie, which gives off a weird vibe, being quite obsessive in its coverage.

      Anyway, hubby will be just as happy to be home, with our own bed (they’re never quite the same) and the stuff he expects to find in a kitchen!

      • SoftStarLight February 21, 2024 at 4:28 pm #

    Boris John called Tucker Carlson a traitor to journalism, because he interviewed Vladimir Putin.

    Tucker offered to interview Boris. Tucker could have asked Boris about why Boris queered the Ukraine/Russia peace deal.

    Tucker has said that Boris offered to do an interview, but only for a million dollars.

    Now Boris is claiming that he didn’t make the offer, Tucker did, and the money was going to go to Ukrainian children’s charities, but that Boris decided not to talk after that Navalny guy was killed.

    You’d think that Boris would be even more eager to counter Putin’s statements after Mr. Navalny’s death, wouldn’t you?

    Tucker has said that Putin didn’t ask for money, and, ““If you’re making money off a war, you know, you can deal with God on that, because that’s really immoral.”

    Since we already know that Mr. Johnson lies like a rug, I’m going to have to side with Tucker on this one.

    Maybe Boris thinks he can get away with denying things because it was an aide who relayed the request, but if it is not so, why isn’t Boris sitting for a complete telling of his side of things, right this very minute?

            OG it’s not easy to be constantly vigilant years on end; sometimes there are slip ups. (Specially when a ceasefire exists and you trust your enemy to honor the ceasefire).

            Speaking of guarded borders, check out the massive 20 ft.high concrete barricades Egypt has erected at its border to keep Gazans out ~ topped off with coiled barbed wire & heavily fortified. They don’t want Hamas either.

          • OG February 21, 2024 at 5:01 pm #

            Right. And, unlike Bibi’s Israel, they won’t stand-down for over seven hours while their guarded border is breached in fifteen (15) different places each big enough for Hamas on dirt bikes while gaggles of paraglider tandems flock back and forth. That’s my point.

            The official story is ridiculous, Heckler.

        It’s either that or genocide. The Palestinians are are a martyr people. They will be honored for destroying the narrative of the Enemy of all Nations.

        To be fair, should they triumph, they’re not going to want the Jews to stick around afterwards. That part is silly, something only an Islander type could believe. Given their track record, who is going to want them? Maybe that’s why they bought up all that land in Patagonia – as a fall back plan.

      • Socrates-Detroit February 21, 2024 at 5:04 pm #

        Yes, a ceasefire.

        Gaza has been blockaded since Hamas won the elections there in 2006 or 2008.

        Israel has bombed Gaza several times. The Israelis call it “mowing the grass”. The basically keep “these people” on a subsistence level.

        As Jarek, writes, the Palestinians are a martyr people. They have no friends and no real power. They are expendable. Sub-human. Just like Jews and Eastern Europeans were.

        Palestinians can be killed with impunity. The bombs in Gaza are of course more destructive and spectacular, but they can be killed in the West Bank, just because.

        Did Hamas counter-attack on Oct 07? Yes, it did. Based on Israeli press reports, over 600 of the Israeli victims were soldiers or police. Armed occupiers. Fair targets.

        Let Israel kill Hamas fighters. Of course, ALL Palestinians are Hamas, right? So Israel is fine.

        About 200 of the Oct 07 “victims” were killed by Israeli armed forces, whose orders were to “kill Hamas”, and if Israelis were killed by massive firepower, oh well. Eventually, the truth came out, and the Israeli authorities had to acknowledge the “terrible, unfortunate tragedy”

        The Israeli lobby controls the narrative; supposed “Christians” are even more ardent Zionists (and racists) than the Israelis. And they are a major bloc in the GOP.

        In any case, many more traditional Americans, are inclined to support Israel because..it’s Israel, Christ was Jewish, the Holocaust, and so forth.

        We would ALL have a lot more clarity if a couple of dozen blocks in Tel-Aviv looked like Gaza today. It won’t happen, of course.

        But make no mistake–whether Hamas “started it”, or whether “Israel” started it, I predict this latest phase of Israeli abuse will boomerang.

        The more Israel “succeeds” in removing or eliminating Palestinians (the Israeli objective), the greater the adverse effects on the US.

        Economically, the US is buying weapons for the slaughter with money it doesn’t have. Credibility-wise, the US government is expending what little it has. And if the war does not remain “contained”, it’s hard to see any benefits to the US public, given that the US is the world’s biggest importer of STUFF.

        It’s quite possible that these events will even lead to closing the internet, and affect CFNers, even those of you who support Israeli barbarities. Too many of JHK column’s undermine government, as do most of the CFN comments.

        Or maybe, events might distract us from grotesque distortions of the financial markets, like the massive stock valuations of the “Magnificent Seven” (apple, google(alphabet), meta, nvidia, tesla, google, microsoft), and maybe help them go up even more!

        This fellow named Mike Benz has some interesting comments about “internet undermining support for public institutions”.

        When the internet, in general, served the US government (a pawn of Israel and the Globalists and Big Capital) interest, the internet was good. “We’re all about free speech” But now, it’s the opposite.

        COVID. mRNA injections. Inflation. Russia/Ukraine. Now Palestine/Israel. Too much internet content going the wrong way and undermining the US government and its partners in mainstream media.

        You can look for this article on u-toob, where Tucker C interviews Mr. Benz.

It was so shocking that de Gaulle decided the ruins of the village should be kept as they were as a memorial and they rebuilt a new village beside it. It was a Waffen SS Panzer division on its way north (after the Normandy landings) that massacred an entire village because of an SS officer who’d been ambushed by the local(-ish) Resistance (none of whom had any connection with Oradour). The officer wasn’t even dead at that point.

          I only heard of it a few years ago, but I recently got hold of a second-hand copy, from French Amazon, of a book written by the last survivor, Robert Hebras, who died last year in his nineties.

          I never heard about it while I lived in France back in the 70s.

          en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre

          Only a handful of people survived. Robert (who was 19 at the time) and his friends only escaped because many of the villages’ barns were linked, so they were able to keep ahead of the fires while hiding from the SS division. It was the stuff of nightmares – they burned all the women and children alive in the church, after shooting the men in the legs, dousing them in petrol and setting fire to them.

          They even rounded up and killed people who happened to be cycling trhough the village on the day, who had nothing to do with anything.

            Yeah this program I watched went into that incident a little. I’d known about from my own father who in a Combat Military Police Battalion in France. Apparently the SS company who committed those murders had transferred in from the Eastern Front where such atrocities were commonplace. Its stands out because for the war in France & western Europe it sort of was an anomaly..

            “It was the stuff of nightmares – they burned all the women and children alive in the church, after shooting the men in the legs, dousing them in petrol and setting fire to them.” — GA

            This is exactly what happened in Byelorussian SSR, as well. One-third the entire population of 9 million — entire families with young children — murdered by power- and liquor-mad Germans. They’d lock them inside the village churches, set gasoline over the thatches, toss a fire brand on it, and auto-rifle anyone who managed to climb out a crevice.

          • BackRowHeckler February 21, 2024 at 7:55 pm #

            Soul, a Russian film was made about those events in Belarus ~ “Come and See.” It was the work of Oscar Derlewanger’s — a convicted felon — SS Division of psychopathic murderers.

          • GreenAlba February 21, 2024 at 7:59 pm #

            SF: Yes, they machine-gunned anyone who tried to get out of the windows of the church in Oradour. One woman did get out of a back window and was followed by another woman and a child. The second woman and the child were both killed, but the first one was wounded and played dead in a vegetable patch all night until they troops had gone, She was one of 5 or 6 survivors.

            brh: One of the shocking things about the SS troops in Oradour was that quite a number of them were from Alsace, which was annexed by the Germans near the start of the war. About 150,000 Alsatian men were conscripted (the ‘Malgré-Nous’ – ‘against our will’) and sent to the Eastern front. Young women from Alsace and Moselle were taken to do forced service in Germany, in munitions factories and so on. They were treated as collaborators on their return. Anyway, a significant number of the SS troops in Oradour were from Alsace, so really French (since WW1 anyway) – all conscripted, apart from one, who had volunteered.
            A lot of them eventually died on the Eastern front, but some were prosecuted for the Oradour massacre – however, they were let out early because of reconciliation efforts in the 1950s.

            Don’t get put off by the initial subtitles blending into the white sand during the movie’s intro. It’s not a problem the rest of the movie. (That’s if the movie print is the same as the one I saw.)

    I give him credit, he is willing to learn and challenge many of his previously held assumptions.

    As Jack Cashill has said, he has a lot to unlearn.

    I do wish he’d do a podcast with Jesse Kelly, I would love to see that.

      • Beryl of Oyl February 21, 2024 at 2:32 pm #

        He left the Democrats, as he can no longer be affiliated with what they have become.

        I’vehad enough of the Republican Party as well.

        I didn’t say I would vote for him, I said I give him credit where credit is due.

      “I give him credit, he is willing to learn…”

      Beryl,
      I think you give him too much credit. You could also suggest that he is willing to change his voiced opinion, as it suits him, and his immediate purpose.

      • Beryl of Oyl February 21, 2024 at 2:37 pm #

        You forget, Elysian, he didn’t have a voiced opinion on the border issues, as he was a private citizen not running for anything.

        Since he has declared his candidacy, he has openly stated that what he used to think about the border and the people who were against leaving it open was mistaken.

        He went there and talked to the people who were most affected. I can’t find fault with that.

        • BackRowHeckler February 21, 2024 at 3:43 pm #

          I’m not really hearing a lot from RFK jr, Beryl. I mean if you look hard enough you can find out what he is up to. In my unprofessional & unsolicited opinion, he needs to get out there more, create some excitement like Trump did with his rallies in 2016.

          I don’t know, Maybe Trump will pick him up as a running mate.

        But I don’t think it matters. I don’t think our votes will matter – if we even get to vote this year. Eight months is a long time in today’s world, a lot can happen.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    A small matter, one to be expected, but rankles all the same.

    A few weeks ago, I purchased five dozen box of eggs from Wally World. I have been purchasing these eggs similarly for years, with prices ranging from $5.00 to $8.00, Well, Oregon passed a law requiring that chicken eggs sold will be from cage free, free roaming chickens, grown in the shade by living wage farmers, or some such. I expected the price to be higher, and it was…$11.80 for the five dozen. OK, I got it, and felt all warm and fuzzy about the chickens.

    What pisses me off is that the eggs, still listed as large, are a full 30% smaller than those sold earlier. I had a few of the earlier purchased eggs, and compared them.

    30% You would think that the chickens would show their appreciation for our largess.

    On a positive note, the eggs did taste the same.

    • BULLITT February 21, 2024 at 1:59 pm #

      A tale of the yokes.
      Compare the yokes a good egg will have a yoke that is almost orange.
      Most farm raised never see the sun chickens have pale yellow yolks.
      Chickens need to run around and scratch in the dirt, chase bugs, eat greens and be chickens.

      As others have said get a couple of hens and a rooster to keep them happy and safe.
      There is nothing more relaxing than listening to happy chickens go about their day unless you have a rooster that starts crowing at 3 am.

  75. FGB3 February 21, 2024 at 3:48 pm #

    There was a huge, lengthy, and generally very sincere ‘thread’ in these comments asking the question, “How do we fix this?”. Folks pointed out some plain truths, e.g. regular folks have to work for a living, while our adversaries are getting a free ride on our backs (I’m looking at all those bureaucrats making all those rules, and those elected officials who are making all those laws). We don’t have time to deal with all these assholes even if we had some means.

    Welp, I read of one remedy – sort of the current ‘NYC Truckers Boycott’ writ large. A General Strike. It’s non-violent. It’s impossible to make some rule or law against it. And even if you could take away the money in everyone’s bank account that’s just part of a General Strike too.

    Here’s an allegorical example which pits violence vs. a passive approach. We have a monumental problem here out in America’s countryside (but now invading suburbia), Feral Hogs. They destroy billions of dollars of agricultural production each year.

    There are two methods being in general use to combat these pests. Active and passive. The active approach involves hunting them down with rifles one pig at a time. Very inefficient given the numbers of pest animals and the number of hunters. The passive approach is traps. Very efficient, removing many animals at once.

    I thought of this when considering whether we serfs should go with the active approach, such as “a well-regulated militia”, or the passive approach, a general strike. You can kill these assholes lording over us one at a time, or get them all at once with a general strike ‘trap’.
    Nota bene: Gandhi chose the strike.

      To me it honestly just sounds like an execuse “us everyday folks are too busy with our real lives but the lefties don’t have lives!” Yes the lefties do have lives, and some of them even have jobs just like you people making excuses. It’s not like all of these lefties are living off Gov funding either because they aren’t. Some of them have jobs working in liberal establishments. Fact is they still have jobs and can find time to fight for their stupid causes.

      Case in point, they are the ones winning because they care enough about what they want..As for us regular folks? No let just sit here and bitch and hope Trump fix everything. Let’s pretend that all those lefties who had time to burn up stuff don’t have jobs like anyone else, despite the fact those people who was burning up shit work in places like Star Bucks, Walmart, etc. Regardless they still have jobs like anyone else. But when they get pissed enough unlike us regular folks. Those lefties will go out and do whatever they want. Meanwhile us regular folks are the ones who have all the guns. Yet we still act like cowards.

    New Zealand Green Party MP Efeso Collins’ heart stopped during a charity run. The 49-year-old’s sudden death caused Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to state that “Efeso was a good man, always friendly and kind, and a true champion and advocate for his Samoan and South Auckland communities”, before continuing to count his money, and thanking God once again that he didn’t play Russian Roulette with the vaxx offer. (OK, I might’ve added that last bit.)

    Message from Our Lord Jesus Christ
    Beloved children, receive My Blessing.

    Beloved little children:

    CONTINUE IN YOUR INNER CHANGE, ON THE WAY TO CONVERSION. ENTRUST YOURSELVES TO ME AND TO MY MOST HOLY MOTHER, WHO PROTECTS YOU AT ALL TIMES.

    Be creatures of good, of blessing for all your brothers and sisters, radiating My Love at this time when lovelessness lives in hearts like a parasite.

    My children, you must prepare yourselves so that in the pressing moments that you will have to live because of the disobedience of mankind, you may keep away from yourselves the insidiousness, the fears and face all that comes with faith. Be the help for your fellow men so that they do not fall into despair and do not act rashly.

    The heavens will seem to burn, advancing from country to country and then darkening, do not move, stay where you are and offer yourselves to Me, recognize your faults and pray, pray (Cf. Mt. 26:41; Cf. Lk. 21:36).

    Beloved ones, My Mystical Body will suffer for loving Me in “spirit and truth” (Jn. 4:23), you will suffer not only persecution, but the pain of living the contempt to which My children and those of My children of other beliefs who enter My Temples to profane Me, take Me.

    I MOURN MY CHILDREN, I MOURN BEFORE SO MANY OFFENSES, BEFORE SO MUCH PROFANATION OF WHAT IS SACRED!

    Beloved children:

    MY BELOVED ANGEL OF PEACE (1), MY BELOVED ENVOY, IS COMING TO HELP YOU. This creature of My House will come to you to show you true Love; My Love from which He has drunk and nourished His spirit to give it to mankind, who, not recognizing Him, will hate Him, and recognizing Him, will not accept Him.

    They will make him undergo great trials, they will wound him and persecute him by order of the Antichrist. My beloved St. Michael the Archangel will protect and defend him with His Shield. My Angel of Peace, My Envoy arrives to give Himself to each one who wishes to listen to Him and rediscover the way to My House.

    My Messenger I brought him forward in a well known Marian Advocacy and they have not yet found him for lack of opening themselves to the revelations. He will be followed by women of faith and a group of My children of faith who will behold portents; they will respect and love him. His Word is from My House, his hallmark, My Love.

    Little children:

    MATURE SPIRITUALLY!

    Apostasy in My Church is imminent. The Devil knows that he does not have much time left and he is eager to present idolatry, lies and falsehood to My children in order to confuse them and thus increase his plunder of souls.

    IT IS A TIME OF PREPARATION, IN THE MIDST OF THE PAIN OF THIS LENT. IT IS A TIME OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH THROUGH FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY.

    Without forgetting that you have to fill your hands with good works, do not forget to fulfill those good works illuminated by My Holy Spirit and by the faith of those who love Me. I call you to be spiritually wise and to be knowledgeable of My Word (cf. Jn. 5:39), for I do not desire a pagan wisdom, but one centered on My Word which is and will be forever and ever (cf. Mt. 24:35).

    Pray My children, pray for the countries that will suffer earthquakes, among them: Argentina, Baja California, Costa Rica, Brazil, England, Mexico, Nicaragua.

    Pray My children, pray for your brothers, for those who being innocent are led to war.

    Pray My children, pray for those who fall in the Balkans and dismay humanity.

    Pray My children, pray for one another.

    Being in Lent, be on spiritual alert:
    Let one be the brother’s shoulder…
    Let another be the brother’s hand…
    Let charity be another…
    Let there be another the love of neighbor….
    Be another the word that gives strength….
    Let another be the hand that lifts up the fallen….

    Pray in time and out of time.

    Evil does not stop and My children stop in foolishness. Accept the trials with love and continue on the way before the Devil stops you.

    My beloved, you are not alone, do not fear, but fear to do evil.

    You are My beloved children and I look upon you with Love, with Eternal Love.

    I bless you.

    Your Jesus

          From the Theosophical pov, Jesus was a high level initiate whom the Christ over-shadowed. When Christ left the dying Jesus, Jesus cried out, My God, My God, why have you abandoned me?

          Jesus attained enlightenment around this time or shortly after his death. He had to lose all, including both his body and his Master, Christ, in order to gain all. And he resurrected his body to show his disciples that all is well, all is well, and all manner of things shall be well.

            Hmmm, this is a very interesting interpretation I have not come across before. So would it be correct to imagine Christ as the soul of Jesus?

            Depends what you mean by soul. People think they have a soul and are their physical body. As if the astral or etheric body is their soul.

            If God is our ultimate identity, and Christ has realized God and was Jesus’ teacher, than yes, in a sense he was Jesus’ soul since he was leading him to God or his ultimate identity or essence.

    I was just thinking about one of my all-time favorite movies, Runaway Train, first released in January, 1986. IMO, it had the best movie ending I’ve ever seen. The movie was based on a story or movie by Akira Kurosawa, and starred Jon Voigt, Eric Roberts, and Rebecca De Mornay.

    It’s an existential action movie. I think it’s extremely relevant for our present times, as it’s about the desire for freedom under a brutal government prison authority and mostly takes place on an out-of-control train.

    The action scenes are intense, but not like the superhero films of today.

    I won’t describe the ending, but it’s memorable and unforgettable. The music and visuals in that final scene, to me, are almost hallucinogenic, and still stay with me. I give the film 5 stars out of a possible 4.

    If you’ve never seen it, I think CFNers would love it.

    BTW, I also highly recommend what I think is Kirk Douglas’ best movie, the 1958 film, Lonely Are the Brave, a modern-day Western. I read somewhere that it’s Douglas’ favorite movie, too.

    It’s about freedom and independence and fate. It’s not your typical Western. I also think CFNers would like it.

    • tucsonspur February 22, 2024 at 3:39 am #

      Yeah, ‘Lonely Are the Brave’ was good, based on a novel by Edward Abbey. An ‘old’ rebel cowboy caught up in modern times. New Mexico, the West, what’s not to like? Well, not so much the ‘new’ West, I guess.

      Have to check out Runaway Train.

    Letitia James threatens to seize Trump properties. There’s a desperate need to house the illegals. Let the gangbanger from Venezuela sit on Trump’s golden toilet, soil his linens.

    Patrick Buchanan foresaw all of this more than twenty years ago in his book, “Death of the West”.

    “….we are going through a civil war of the soul, a clash over who we are, what we believe, what we stand for as a people. It is an irrepressible conflict, for it is about first things.”

    He must now be overwhelmed by sadness and grief.

    Many could see it all coming but couldn’t stop it. Will November 2024 be the last chance to eradicate the evil? It will be difficult to do so.

    Strength seems sapped, no might in the fight.

    • TruthSeeker1986 February 22, 2024 at 5:49 am #

      I still don’t understand the purpose or point in having all these damn illegals here…Or what they even intend to do with all of them. I wish everyone at this point would just get mad and riot. I just saw another article not too long ago that said “Trump prepares for battle with the U.S. Army.”

        They are going to possibly use them as shock troops against the American right.
        Most of them are already Socialist in nature and will vote with the disgusting leftist scum Democrats.
        The funny part is they are the very ignorant uneducated people the left likes to deride and pretend the Republican base are.

        These people will be good for at most two election cycles before they see how feckless and worthless Democrats are.

          I don’t know Benr, because Blacks still vote Democrat A LOT. And they’ve been with that party forever regardless of the Democrat party’s history. So if they can get those socialist idiots on their side like they’ve had with the blacks who they continue to pander to, roll out the carpet for, name buildings after, or build statues in their “honor” for…..Then they are just increasing their base. The only way I see it blowing up in the Demo’s face is when they can’t afford to give out free shit anymore.

            The American people (the real ones) don’t want to go along with their plans, so they voted in a new people. The new people are less irascible and pose no threat to the elites. They have absolutely no ties to the blood, soil, or history of this land, and therefore have no claims on its institutions, land, laws, legacy, history, etc. They are the perfect blank, illiterate, servile upon which the masters of the universe can press their plans. They’ve already written us out of the past and they are very close to writing us out of the future.

            What is going to happen when the B & B, Blacks and Browns finally figure out that the Democratic Party continues today as the party of SLAVERY.

            The border is the source of the human trafficking that is going on, SLAVERY, so who is it that is pushing for the open border again?

            The other side of today”s SLAVERY is drugs, the substance enslavers. Again, who is rooting for open border?

            I will tell you why. The Mob in DC and around all the cities are involved, the cartels are paying off the government for full access to the US marketplace. Or even worst, I believe the government agencies have been integrated into a massive crime syndicate all across the US.

            Without the drugs and SLAVERY, the fiscal systems around the world go belly up.

            Why do LIbs want it so bad, like Hollywood? They want their drugs and servants cheap.

          • JohnAZ February 22, 2024 at 1:11 pm #

            And BTW, Trump wants the border closed to all except the folks needed for menial labor, that is why 50% of this country will vote against him, they want their drugs and SLAVES cheap.

            Or kill him.

            A yuge question, why does it seem that only he and a very small contingent see this and want to end it?

    • RD3 February 22, 2024 at 1:01 pm #

      Of course, Buchanan is correct, but he was really just popularizing his old friend Sam Francis. Francis, and other staffers for Jesse Helms and John East, argued in the 70’s and 80’s that immigration was the only issue that mattered and that the US needed to pursue zero immigration policies immediately. Obviously, they were correct.

    Recently, there’s been some hoopla about Google’s AI, Gemini.

    I’ve been reading about some of its ‘hard-core’ DEI/Woke-style output prompted by users, whether deliberately or inadvertently, and have been struck by the irony of how AI, as unconscious as it (probably) is, nevertheless appears to bluntly and clearly reveal the abject idiocy, to say nothing of the ‘racism’, of much of DEI/Woke ideology and programming.

        This has been occurring for a long time. Hate is actually more than simply lack of love, it is an intentional emotion and state of mind within itself. It is within that spectrum of course but in its most fully realized manifestation it is a thing in and of itself.

      • Jarek February 22, 2024 at 2:17 pm #

        It’s normal to love your own people more. I wouldn’t hold that against them – though they hold it against us if we do it. And they do that because they hate us.

    The world situation today reminds me of an old 20th century cartoon called FROOMB! I can’t remember whether it first appeared during the Great Depression or around WW2. The cartoon is of a person whose head is the globe of the Earth. It’s riding either a bicycle or driving a car and going over a cliff. FROOMB stands for ‘fluid running out of my brakes’. In other words the world is out of control. Very appropriate for the times now. I’ve tried to find the cartoon on-line, but all I could find is many references to a book by author John Symington with the same title. If anyone can find the cartoon, please let me know. It perfectly captures the current mood.

    RT

    Russia will have to continue fighting Ukraine until it takes Kiev and the coastal city of Odessa, former President Dmitry Medvedev has claimed. Both cities have “Russian roots” but are being run by US-led enemies of Moscow, meaning they present an existential threat, according to the senior official, who currently serves as deputy head of Russia’s National Security Council.

    The remarks were extracts from an interview that Medvedev gave to Russian media, which he shared on social media on Thursday.

    “Where should we stop? I don’t know,” he said, adding that a lot of “serious work” lies ahead.

    “Will that be Kiev? Probably. This should be Kiev too. If not now, then sometime later. There are two reasons. Kiev is a Russian city, and a threat to the existence of the Russian Federation emanates from it,” he said.

    Jarek: Only total victory will avail. The roots of the evil must be extracted, root and branch. The Jewish gangsters and their weird Nazi henchmen must be driven into the dank forests of Western Ukraine.

    If Israel can go for total victory, why not Russia? Russia did so before, mass raping German women. Everyone thought that was great! The NY Times said so…..

      Putin yesterday took a flight on a Tu-160M, a Russian strategic bomber capable of delivering a nuclear payload. I seriously doubt he just felt like going for a jet ride; no, he’s sending a message, which is “Don’t f#kk with us.”

      • TruthSeeker1986 February 22, 2024 at 3:16 pm #

        Well, Putin isn’t the only one with nuclear weapons though, so him threatening everyone like other nations aren’t strapped with those weapons is just idiotic on his part. Anyone with Nukes can fuck with him, he can fuck right back but it will just lead to idiots killing themselves and destroying the world.

      • TruthSeeker1986 February 22, 2024 at 3:19 pm #

        Besides, I believe the U.S. also have powerful nuclear weapons. So if Russia and the U.S. fight each other with nukes, both sides would get wrecked. Not just America but Russia too.

        • BackRowHeckler February 22, 2024 at 4:03 pm #

          Russia possesses about 6000 warheads, the US somewhere around 5500. Some western analysts claim the Russian nuclear arsenal has been poorly maintained & is no longer effective. I think that’s a dangerous assumption. Even if only 10% still work a lot of damage can be done.

          My opinion has been to provoke Russia is akin to playing with fire. All the reckless talk we heard last year from US Senators about “Replacing Putin”, driving the Russian army back to Moscow, and invading Crimea is crazy. Putin seems pretty stable but you never know what will set him off. If that happens, its curtains.

They can nuke him just as easily as he could nuke us. Fighting with nuclear weapons is a losing situation. I Sure hope to GOD I am dead before any of these stupid assholes decide to use them. And I pray for those who will be caught up in that shit.

            There is the problem there are people in power that believe a nuclear war is winnable.

            Some believe setting off a bunch of nukes portends the coming of the last Mahdi.
            Not just here in America but especially in Iran.

            When Ahmadinejad came into power, he immediately stated his nation’s goal of destroying Israel.
            Ahmadinejad and the clerics know that he cannot defeat Israel by conventional means, so he must gain nuclear weapons to do it.

            Ahmadinejad and Iran’s desire for the destruction of Israel follows their interpretation of the teachings of Shi’a Islam. Ahmadinejad has set forth to create an induced fulfillment of an Islamic prophecy; the return of the 12th Imam.
            If you don’t know what I am talking about there are pretty good write ups on this messianic Shia doomsday cult running Iran right now.
            Granted some of it might be western spin but even in that a nugget of truth can be found.

    This is frustrating as I still haven’t found the cartoon:

    So far this is what I found:

    FROOMB! stands for “[The] fluid is running out of my brakes!”—the caption beneath a cartoon first published in the Detroit Messenger, which depicts the Earth-as-a-motor-car about to hurtle over a cliff. This doom-laden doodle has somehow come to represent inhuman waste and wasted humanity (or words to that apocalyptic effect). With so many other crack-brained things going on here, I can almost bring myself to believe it.

    Next up J&J, PFIZER and Moderna.

    The UK-based pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is being sued for over 70 claims in relation to fatalities or severe injuries that were caused by a reaction to their COVID-19 vaccine.

    The approximately eighty plaintiffs are members of a legal collective that maintains it is not “anti-vaccine” while suing the corporation for additional damages above the £120,000 ($152,000) allotted by the government’s damage payment program.

    The cases being filed are connected to incidents of vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia (VITT), which can result in potentially fatal blood clots that obstruct blood supply to essential organs.

    An AstraZeneca representative said that while the company does not comment on pending legal processes, patient safety is its “highest priority” and that their “sympathy goes out to anyone who has lost loved ones or reported health problems.”

    They emphasized that regulatory agencies had authorized AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccination due to its “safety and effectiveness” and that evidence from clinical studies and real-world use had allegedly demonstrated that it has “an acceptable safety profile.” They further claimed that it had saved “more than six million lives worldwide” in its first year of operation.

    According to the litigation, the first round of claims was filed in the U.K. High Court in December, and a second round was submitted in January. The organization says that AstraZeneca is responsible for the harm and losses that occurred in these instances, and that they had “no choice” but to file a lawsuit because there was no “fair and adequate” compensation plan in place.

    A woman named Kam Miller is one of the claimants. Her husband, Neil, passed away on May 1st, 2021, at the age of 50, as a result of VITT. Her husband “was keen to have his jab as soon as he could,” she told the BBC on Thursday, adding that she was not against vaccinations but that she thought “if he had not had the vaccine and later got COVID, he would have survived it.”

    “I have lost the comfort of having Neil, and I feel empty and very lonely. It is a struggle,” Miller said. “He was the main breadwinner in our family. I don’t want to be going to court, but the money is needed for the future of my family.”

    The litigation group also claimed that Lisa Shaw, a radio journalist, developed blood clots in her brain following her administration of the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine in April 2021. She passed away soon after.

    Zach, her eight-year-old son, and her husband Gareth “live with the loss of Lisa every single day,” according to Gareth. “Our house is a quiet place now. Days don’t have the same glow. Grief casts a long shadow over everything.”

    Additionally, some applicants have been left disabled despite having survived VITT. According to the organization, a third person, Jane Wrigley, had emergency surgery in March 2021 and now has “extremely limited” mobility as a result of the ailment.

    VITT affects about one in 50,000 people under 50 and one in 100,000 people over 50, according to the British National Health Service. The “risk of death and serious outcomes of COVID-19, including thrombosis, far outweigh the risk of VITT possibly associated with highly efficacious vaccines,” the American Society of Hematology claimed.

    They become soldiers when their leadership decides to use them as human shields.
    Who put Hamas in charge?

    You are describing collective punishment. Collective punishment is a war crime, fyi.

      Your response is absurd.

        Not in the least. You are describing collective punishment. Collective punishment is a war crime.

        Advocating war crimes is reprehensible, benr, and you know it.

        • benr February 23, 2024 at 8:13 am #

          The war crime is intentionally using civilians as shields while attacking the other side.
          Then using the dead as propaganda pieces when the retaliation happens.
          Your position is ridiculous and utterly contemptable and since you don’t know this pretty much everything else you prattle on and on about is suspect as hell.

    When I saw that the Democrats had stolen the 2020 election, I actually had a premonition that this would happen. Once leftists gain control they never let it go. Unless they are eliminated by force. And this is why I was so disappointed in Trump. He had time from the election in November until New Year’s to come up with some plan to cancel this steal.

    He did nothing. I wondered where his head was at? I could see this catastrophe, why couldn’t he? There are only two conclusions available to me to explain his behavior: (1) he has a strong case of normalcy bias, or (2) he’s part of this Cabal that is destroying the West.

    I’d like to believe he was simply not capable of understanding just how serious the situation was. People say that 2024 will be the most important election ever. They are wrong I’m afraid. The most important election was 2020. With Trump still president and able to wield the enormous power of the American president, he could have stopped this craziness. There was a brief window open there. Now it’s closed and he’s toast. ? And we along with him.

    Ah the glories of fighting for the Nazi regime in Ukraine.
    Get on over there Mike Sherman I am sure they will waive the part about being physically or mentally fit.

    \\\https://www.oann.com/newsroom/zelenskyy-americans-can-now-join-ukraines-national-guard/

    According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals can now enlist in the country’s national guard. Kyiv reportedly wants to “keep its military intact” as it approaches the end of its two-year conflict with Russia.

    “Foreigners and stateless persons” can join the Ukrainian national guard as of Wednesday, the Ukrainian leader said in a statement.

    Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, foreign fighters have been a part of the country’s armed forces, but they have typically volunteered as members of the International Legion.

    “Anyone who wants to join the defense of Ukraine, Europe, and the world can come and fight side by side with the Ukrainians,” Zelenskyy said.

    The Interior Ministry of Ukraine is in charge of the National Guard, which actively participates in the nation’s defense against Russian forces. According to Zelenskyy, foreign applicants for military duty must meet specific requirements, be lawfully admitted in Ukraine, and have no prior convictions.

    The military of both Russia and Ukraine has suffered greatly over the past two years of fighting. Although the precise number of losses has been disputed, Kyiv urgently needs additional forces to continue its combat effort against a wider pool of potential Russian recruits.

    With numbers on enemy losses released by Moscow and Kyiv on a daily basis, Western analysts advise caution as neither side typically releases casualty counts for its own armed forces. However, if they do, those numbers are almost always labeled as falsehoods by the opposing side.

    Zelenskyy stated in the middle of December that the Kyiv military wished to mobilize an extra 500,000 individuals, but he characterized the idea of a new mobilization as a “very delicate” matter. Soon after, a draft law was released by the Ukrainian parliament suggesting that the age of eligibility for mobilization be lowered from 27 to 25 in Ukraine.

    The number of foreign fighters who have come to Ukraine to join the International Legion is unknown, but it is most likely not going to be sufficient to maintain Kyiv’s personnel levels over time.

    The requirements for International Legion volunteers are similar to those now qualified to join the National Guard: they must be physically fit and medically fit, have no criminal history, and be able to enter Ukraine legally. You can also be as young as eighteen years old to serve as a volunteer as long as you are a U.S. citizen.

    Fascisms face bloated, three chins and nasty as hell.

    Letitia James Says She’s Ready To Seize Trump’s Buildings, Assets If He Can’t Pay $354M Fine.

    Attorney General Letitia James of New York told ABC News that if former President Donald Trump cannot find the money to pay the $354 million fine in his civil fraud case, she is ready to confiscate his assets. The judge’s order to pay the money was issued four days ago.

    “If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” James said in an interview.

    According to James and Judge Arthur Engoron, who penalized him $354.8 million plus about $100 million in pre-judgment interest on Friday, Trump allegedly exaggerated his net worth to obtain better credit terms.

    The former president has declared he will file an appeal and denied any misconduct.

    Reiterating that her office would not hesitate to seize Trump’s assets—mentioning specifically the “40 Wall Street skyscraper”—if the former president is unable to find the money to cover the court-ordered disgorgement, James said she was “very confident” in the strength of her case on appeal.

    “We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day,” James said regarding the court process for collecting judgments in civil cases.

    James vehemently refuted Trump’s claim that there were no victims in the case.

    “Financial frauds are not victimless crimes. He engaged in this massive amount of fraud. It wasn’t just a simple mistake, a slight oversight, the variations are wildly exaggerated, and the extent of the fraud was staggering,” James said. “If average New Yorkers went into a bank and submitted false documents, the government would throw the book at them, and the same should be true for former presidents.”

    James also shot down Trump’s claim that a large-scale economic migration from New York will result from the case.

    “Last I checked, tourism is up. Wall Street is doing just fine,” James said. “Someone once told me if you want something done, give it to a woman,” she added.

      So, everyone that got loans for houses they couldn’t afford during the Obama regime is now going to be prosecuted right?
      All those banks that loaned money out that then foreclosed on those houses should be filing lawsuits for losses that we the taxpayers were forced by a reckless Obama administration to cover because too big to fail.

      Yeah, this rabbit hole of bullshit gets so wide it will swallow the earth.

      Man, fuck this piece of garbage. She’s got a lot of nerve. Every time I hear about this woman I want to punch a hole through the wall of my own home.
