Did “Joe Biden’s” handlers actually want to start World War Three? They are the same posse who contrived the Russian Collusion hysteria of 2016-19, then launched Covid-19 — and the even more deadly mass “vaccination” response to it — and have now successfully goaded Russia into cleaning up the international hub of grift and mischief known as Ukraine. One thing established for sure as fact: the “Joe Biden” family received plenty of cash off that grift wagon, and those “handlers” have neatly ring-fenced it from official scrutiny. Where does that leave the so-called president of the US in the current crisis?
The scant news coming out of Ukraine is so infected with propaganda that it’s impossible to know exactly what’s going on there these early days of the Russian invasion. Some interested parties say that Russia is getting its ass kicked by a Ukrainian resistance. More temperate reports suggest that Russian forces are proceeding methodically to capture and neutralize Ukraine’s meager military assets. Apparently, Ukraine and Russia are holding a diplomatic parlay today at the Belarus border. You might style that as “peace talks,” but who knows? There are no real functioning international news agencies anymore.
The current CIA-approved narrative wants you to believe that Vlad Putin seeks to reassemble the old Soviet Union and will move next to capture the Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. I doubt this since all those countries have their own cultures rather emphatically hostile to Russia and required onerous operating subsidies from Moscow back in the Soviet day. Ukraine will surely be enough of a burden for Russia going forward.
An alternate narrative to the CIA’s scare story would follow the Occam’s Razor rule that the simplest explanation is probably the truth — namely, that there was no other way to stop Ukraine’s shelling and mortar attacks against the ethnic Russian population in the Donbas which, by the way, was carried out with US-gifted armaments. And there was no other way to disabuse the USA from the idea that Ukraine should join NATO and thereby become a missile launching base on Russia’s border.
Western Civ’s response so far is to cut off its nose to spite its face. A sidebar to the CIA-approved narrative is that the West should shut-down Russia’s export economy in response to their action in Ukraine. Of course, the EU members know that they can’t take a pass on Russian oil and natgas, unless they want to eat cold bratwurst and linguini in the dark. But this reality hasn’t stopped the USA from militating for that. Likewise, shutting Russia out of the SWIFT money transfer system will only achieve chaos in global trade and international banking — but chaos is what you get with “Joe Biden’s” Party of Chaos running things.
These are the folks who worked tirelessly to drive America insane since 2016 and now they’re capping their “hat-trick” of mind-fuckery with the specter of World War Three. Notice how neatly their engineered mass formation psychosis segued from Trump/Russia to Covid-19 and now the threat of going nuclear over Ukraine. My theory of the case would be as follows: America’s Deep State provoked Russia in Ukraine to cover up its own massive crimes against American citizens which now verge on being fully exposed.
The timing on Ukraine couldn’t have been more seemingly fortuitous. America — indeed the whole world — has awakened to the apparent reality that mass vaccination is killing off a lot of people before their time. The news is out, coming not from the public health bureaucracy but from such unexpected sources as actuaries in the insurance industry who collate quarterly death rates and morticians observing unusual morbid oddities in the bodies they prepare for burial. This comes at the very same time as reports that the CDC deliberately falsified Covid-19 death and injury statistics, both for the disease itself and for the mRNA “vaccines.” The FDA is also implicated in approving falsified “vaccine” trial data. One result of all that is the crash of Moderna and Pfizer stocks, as the geniuses on Wall Street suss out the mountain range of litigation that looms in the distance.
But they must know — and hundreds of appointed and elected officials must know — that the blowback from Covid-19 doesn’t stop with mere civil lawsuits but extends to criminal cases of supreme consequence: deliberate mass murder, extending to the highest levels of officialdom in many countries. To this day the CDC and state health departments are pushing “vaccines,” despite massive mounting evidence that the shots cause organ damage and mess up immune systems at a rate, and to a degree, astronomically above any previous vaccines. They must know that the official standard-of-care using remdesivir and intubation was overwhelmingly likely to kill hospital in-patients. They must know that early treatment protocols using cheap off-label drugs were highly effective and that banning early treatment — to maintain Emergency Use Authorization for killer “vaccines” — amounted to mass homicide.
It will get harder and harder to ignore widespread untimely death going forward as the “vaccines” work their vicious hoodoo on the boosted population, and even the most obdurately spellbound “vaccine” cheerleaders will have to endure such surges of cognitive dissonance that heads are sure to explode. So, the Ukraine invasion was the best means at hand to cover-up all that, and the longer the US government can feed that monster, and keep it going, the more they can shift the focus off the monumental frauds and homicides they carried out and will be criminally liable for.
Secondarily to all that, of course, is the emerging picture of pervasive corruption and crime among the three-letter agencies that special counsel John Durham is getting ready to feed to the dumpster fire of institutional failure that US politics has become. Ukraine is a manageable localized problem in a distant part of the world and Russia is going to manage it. The American crisis of confidence in its own operating system is something else.

I wonder what happens when the Big Ol’ Huge Terrible War in The Ukraine ends? Because I do not see this particular conflict is going to last very long. UNLESS, since Spring is almost here, so that energy demand goes down. Oh well – Go Long Popcorn!
Does anything ever end anymore? In fact, how do we even know that anything is actually happening in the first place? Ever see “Wag the Dog”? The entire world’s Mass Myopic Media seems to have developed the ability to create what it wants the masses to see, feel, and believe, truth be damned.
Our world has become quite pathetic when you consider that one of the best and most reliable sources of real news and truth has to be gotten from a small-town author in upstate New York. And that is no dis on our host, he is filling in for those who have sold us out in a most reliable and informative way. Thank you, James, for stepping up and spreading the word!
Here’s your answer from Rust:

Penelope – we get the new pandemic the psychotic Mr. Gates promised us last week. Constant chaos ensured. Roll up that sleeve and trust.
And here is it….
https://www.globalresearch.ca/whats-behind-new-aids-scare/5771628
Something I have started to wonder about, Walt-
There are a lot of parallels between the AIDS reaction and covid.
I remember, back when I attended a meeting on the local school’s planned AIDS curriculum, the school nurse said that some members of the community thought the statement that it was believed that AIDS started in monkeys in Africa was racist.
At the same time, there was a belief that AIDS was deliberate engineered against gays/black people, for whatever reasons.
The part about the monkeys got me thinking about the Wuhan market story that some news outlets are trying to revive at this late date.
Could it be possible that AIDS, like covid, was in fact a created virus?
Remember how much of what they told us about AIDS turned out to be false? Why should we belive any of it that hasn’t been proven?
And Faucistein was knee deep in both….

Try a search for Kary Mullis interviews. RFKjr’s book has a large amount of information on the subject.
I found a good YT channel about what is happening in Ukraine this weekend:
Duran
Also found this excellent article by David Stockman:
https://www.unz.com/article/the-land-where-history-died-part-1/
this excellent article by David Stockman – abby
========
Stockman is a very bright guy but beware of his put-buying recommendations. I have lost thou$ands.
The invasion of the Ukraine has had a curious effect both in the United States and here in Canada. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about Republicans and Democrats. or Liberals and Conservatives, the rhetoric is the same. It’s as if the warring factions in both nations have finally found an crisis they can exploit for political gain together just as the economy tanks in both nations. The Ukrainian government has been recruiting citizens in both countries to defend it, and there is no shortage of bored young people who wouldn’t mind a little adventure after two years of pandemic lockdowns. Call me dumb, but I don’t think this crisis is going to end well with Western governments, especially the United States and Canada, turning up the temperature to dangerous levels by flooding the Ukraine with lethal weapons.. For the moment, both the political careers of Forgetful Joe and Emperor Justin are on the upswing after both looked like they were headed for political oblivion. Don’t know enough about the situation to give a good prediction, but I have the feeling that the war with Ukraine will trigger smaller conflicts in different parts of Europe leading to the largest military intervention by America in Europe since World War Two.
It is indeed an excellent article. But knowledge of history is not one of America’s strengths. Our mainstream media have been complaining for years about Russia’s interference in the 2016 US elections but have ignored American interference in foreign elections including its role in the 2014 Maidan Revolution.
Fear not, Penelope. They’ll think of something to tide us over till the midterms are stolen. Gates has been smirking a lot about a new virus.
If you are going to go long popcorn, do it now. Russian Nat Gas is the feedstock for at least 20% of the worlds fertilizer manufacturers.
The Germans are in for a cold, hungry winter 2022/23.
Americans could use a few pounds anyway.
The gray haired Neville Chamberlains on this website are amazingly stupid. Few of you have seen combat. I fought in Iraq. War is horrible and first Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians, then Hitler, then Stalin again and now Putin. And you ass clowns blame Biden or some ridiculous Covid non sequitur for Putin’s aggression that will lead to the death of thousands of civilians. Go screw yourself.
The fact that u fought in Iraq speaks volumes to your intelligence. Who of any grey matter did not know that was a farce from day one. But it is good that you still are looking for weapons of mass destruction. Well damn you found them NATO boy, Putin has them.
Thermobaric bomb used in Kharviv – two stage munition, first stage creates a vapor cloud of metallic particles, second stage ignites the cloud, causing devastating impact on buildings. About 3 seconds between the two ignitions.
Exact same device that was used at the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Seismographic data clearly documented two explosions 3 seconds apart.
Oh, that was a conspiracy theory – my bad. It was actually a rental truck filled with fertilizer, driven by one Timothy McVeigh.
Tough to tell who’s on first in Ukraine right now.
Edit: *Kharkiv*
@Fools – you first! I haven’t read anyone saying that a “Covid non sequitur” was responsible for Putin’s anything.
The fact of the matter is that Biden and the US communists have dangled a NATO membership in front of Ukraine for years. That would guarantee US missiles on the Russian front porch and that’s a situation Putin would not tolerate. Putin implored the US and NATO to sign an agreement precluding such an action and the US sneered at him and basically said we would put missiles wherever we want.
Putin again asked for an agreement, the US again denied him such an agreement and Putin rolled tanks before the tundra melted.
I am not in favor of war – it is indeed horrible as you say. You are not the only person here who has fought.
Are you proud of yourself in defending Putin? Good for you. Go live in Moscow and really enjoy the Russian democratic way of life.
@ Fools – Help me understand your position. If you had a long term adversary who lived far away and had formed a “treaty organization” dedicated to “containing” you and that adversary announced intention to install missiles on your front porch, you would be ok with that?
Are you proud of yourself for defending a country that, according to this member of the Ukrainian parliament, is “fighting for the new world order?”
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/ukraine-member-of-parliament-we-fight-for-the-new-world-order
You have a right to your cranial/rectal inversion but you shouldn’t be rude about it. Go your way. Peace.
I noticed that u used the neville chamberlain slur against supposed grey haired putti supporters. That was dragged out against anyone that didn’t support the Iraq War and W Bush. You really are stuck in that invasion that you willing participated in, and now you want what? war with russia over the Ukraine. Even though you are against war, because you are Churchill? presume.
Another observation, you use the word civilians to describe the citizens within a country. Yes there are two sides in jackboot land, You and civilians.
I have to wonder if Fools rush is bull shitting us. You wouldn’t think that anyone could be as self-absorbed to not see the hypocrisy of their positions. You take part in the invasion of a sovereign nation Iraq and then you rail against the invasion of Ukraine.
You point out the murderous history of Russia and seemingly ignore the murderous history of your own country. He fought against the civilians of Iraq and encourages the civilians of Ukraine to do die to the last man against russia.
He calls us cowards for not wanting to fight Russia, while they called us cowards for being against the invasion of Iraq.
Either he is BShitting us or his involvement in Iraq has twisted his mind. I see W Bush came out and condemned Putin for going into Ukraine. A moment of conscience for Bush, or just remaining a NATO toad?
So you fought in Iraq, and then chose the moniker “Fools Rushin” without ever seeing height of irony there?
What’s interesting about the argument you present in claiming that one who has NOT fought in a BS war for global corporatism cannot have the experience to analyze foreign policy regarding war is that it can just as easily be flipped on its head…
A person who has fought in one of these wars has an innate desire to want it to be virtuous, because accepting the alternative is possibly nightmarish. You can’t argue that you can be more objective BECAUSE of your experience than someone who has not fought in such a war. Different experiences produce different perspectives, for sure. But none is “more qualified” given the realities of both necessarily.
If you are a non-Russian supporting Ukrainian (because there are two lots of course), than you might have to fight if it is between your life and death anyway.
BUT that does not mean that western elites aren’t throwing Ukrainians under the bus as well to try and achieve self-preserving goals. AND that does not mean that Putin is a similar freak with a different agenda.
These two truths are not mutually exclusive and a person (like myself) can be (and is) against the killing of both western and eastern Ukrainians no matter which party is doing it. There are no righteous players in this war/crisis. Many people I’ve known with the experience you have had agree with that as well. Veterans do not think monolithically…assuming (or believing so) dehumanizes them as much as their political handlers did when they were in service.
My latest journal entry: UKRAINE VS. RUSSIA
Violence, it seems, is always imminent. The causes often obscured and unfathomable. Empire breeds ruthless men who justify their actions with fine words whose abstractions are lost on the victims. Objectivity is impossible even without the curse of propaganda. Truth is never a single story and research and scholarship no guarantee that you will find it. Each of us has his own truth and we seldom know even that. Our beliefs filtered by experience and memory – all is questioned and questioned until we fall back to that final redoubt of solipsism and, finally, it too evaporates leaving us with only…..nothing.
“My theory of the case would be as follows: America’s Deep State provoked Russia in Ukraine to cover up its own massive crimes against American citizens which now verge on being fully exposed.”
BOOM
*mic drop*
it seems like everything is always “on the verge of being fully exposed …”
You’re an idiot.
“mic drop”
While I have enormous respect for JHK.
Occam’s Razor is another matter entirely. I have always believed that the simplest answer is the one ” They” want you to believe.
So they make it simple so it is easier to accept without critical thought.
Example: Over the past 2 years i have heard many people say. ” Just take the vaccine for covid 19, it’s just that simple.”
I rest my case.
Agreed. Occam’s Razor rarely explains a given situation, particularly when the “simplest explanation” is one of several and one is encouraged to accept a certain option as being the answer.
I want to add that I agree with Jim’s statement, however. Vlad is cleaning up the State Dept. Nazis.
Well, one thing we know for sure. We are not getting any straight facts from the MSM, except maybe for this doozie:
Saturday night Dan Bongino had Col. Douglas MacGregor on his show for an “opposing viewpoint”.
MacGregor laid it all on the line. From the constant shelling of the Russian breakaway republics in Donbas by the Ukraine military to how quickly Putin was encircling Kiev to the folly of Ukraine handing guns out to new “recruits” aged 16-60.
He said, “I doubt there will be a million Ukrainians armed in Kiev. More like a thousand. And Putin won’t be going door to door. That would be stupid to lose good soldiers. Most civilians will stay put in their cellars scared to death until the shooting stops.”
Either Zelensky comes to terms quickly and surrenders or Kiev will be annihilated. Putin would rather not bring down old religious architecture and other valuable infrastructure.”
Then Dan had to cut him off.
The stage manager has the corporate-approved script. Going off script is not allowed.
Keep in mind it is called a program and occupies a time slot. Programing provided 24/7.
Deprograming? A reasonable place to start is turn off the tv.
Then go searching for opposing points of view, which mostly will be on sources outside the US.
It could be a bit serious with the reports, which I’d like a little more time to explore, of the Ukraine government arming the populace by dropping off weapons for anyone to pick up.
“Anyone” covers a lot of people and a lot of motives.
this guy deserves a look:
https://youtu.be/1vdiEABLFoo
tl;dw;
this is a psyop by zelinsky, there are no battle videos because russia wants ukraine intact, and the refugee crisis is due to zelinsky trying to conscript every man between 18 and 60 to be a happy trigger puller and cannon fodder for the the wag-the-dog narrative.
he’s a long time resident of kiev, and speaks from personal experience. his whole channel is about to blow up.
You obviously don’t support our 2nd Amendment. Wtf would u do if u were Ukrainian? Probably sh@t your pants coward.
Love this guy (Coach Red Pill). Thanks for linking, anotherguy.
Also, Fools Rushin, please go back to infowars and complain there. You make no sense here.
This Coach Red Pill guy is great.
He clearly has a poli-sci background in addition to a good understanding of the conflict.
Really on-point stuff.
The US burned down an entire slum and killed thousands of people in order to arrest Noriega.
The US destroyed the city of Fallujah when citizens protested them taking over a school for their troops.
The US decimated the city of Mosul, killing tens of thousands, when ISIS moved into civilian neighborhoods.
That is no doubt why the US military officer predicts that Russia will destroy Kiev to get at the civilians playing with newly acquired weapons.
I don’t think they will. They have Kiev surrounded, as I understand it, and they will just wait until the teenagers run out of ammo shooting at each other, and then they will move in.
See Fools Rushin remembers what he and the fools rushing into Iraq did to the people of Iraq. Left them with depleted uranium stuck in their walls also. But they were a bunch of ragheads, we needed to fight them there rather than over here. Insurgents needed to all die. He assumes the same for Ukraine.
But Ukraine is the border of Russia, Russians live there. There might actually be some kinship between the two countries, Russia and Ukraine.
Unlike NATO and who gives a shit about the people of Ukraine on the doorstep of Russia, Russia, Russia. NATO needs a place to put their missiles within minutes of Moscow.
Yes, what the US does are war crimes, I’m pretty sure.
I think that all countries are supposed go by the rule that you can’t kill civilians to save the lives of soldiers.
But the US kills hundreds of thousands of civilians to make sure their soldiers don’t die fighting insurgents.
Fool probably doesn’t know that the rules of war say that’s illegal.
Facts are all about the interpretation. According to the MSM liars, Zelensky handing out AK-47s to babushkas and kids is a sign of Ukraine’s granite determination to defend their “democracy”. For me it’s rather a sign of desperation. The Berlin in May 1945 and 12 year olds manning the ack-ack batteries kind of desperation. If you’re calling up the very old and very young it’s usually a sign that your fighting age men are getting screwed.
It shows how very very stupid and gullible people are to go along with the mainstream narrative.
What would you do coward?
The deep state actually started messing with Ukraine seriously in 2014, when corrupt Joe was the head man on that country. In addition to taking millions out of Ukraine, he orchestrated with Victoria Nuland and the CIA the Maiden insurrection, with alleged snipers brought in to fire on civilians creating more panic and chaos, all to remove a President favorable to Russia. John Brennen even made his appearance in Ukraine in 2014, doubtless in aid of the conspiracy. Pres. Clinton signed an agreement that Ukraine would never be a part of NATO, and that no offensive weapons would be placed there. Comrade Hussein and his leftist administration, who Biden brought back to the WH, in effect abrogated that agreement and there has been a constant drumbeat of Ukraine’s admission to NATO. Putin repeated warned them and attempted to hold meaningful negotiations, as NATO on Russia’s borders would represent a security threat that Russia could not allow, especially when they had been promised it would never occur. Drmoncraps are completely corrupt and evil, as they never ceased to prove. Putin is also corrupt and evil, but who is more evil and corrupt is a toss up.
https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2022/03/01/jewish-subtexts-in-ukraine/
Well fools rushin we can guess what you did, you flew across the globe to teach Saddam a thing or two. You helped kill 1/2 million “civilians” but of course you called them insurgents.
If Kiev is encircled all Putin has to do is wait.
Ukrainians may be better prepped than Americans but I doubt if the city can feed itself for two weeks and water supplies aren’t internally generated.
The Occam’s Razor answer to the COVID-19 outbreak was always “Let your body handle successively weakening strains of coronavirus as it has evolved to handle them.”
There’s simple, and then there’s simple.
Exactly.
The Western propaganda machine is simply amazing to behold. I haven’t seen one so monolithic in my lifetime. Covid propaganda has been very awesome, but this one encompasses all outlets on any side of the divide.
Yes, this will end fairly soon, I hope, and Putin will have made his statement. However, the consequences are long lasting and will be more unfortunate for the West. The mask will be off and the world can see the decline for what it truly is.
Gaslighting 101.
Is there fighting in Ukraine?
Yes is it as bad as they say…NO.
Why would the Russians bomb a kindergarten?
Why would a Ukrainian soldier explode himself on abridge to stop Russian tanks?
Some of this crap just makes no sense.
Because they’ve already done it in Grozny and Syria you moron.
Have they?
Are you so sure?
Why because some media outlet has told you so?
And you believe everything coming out of the idiot box huh?
Now who is the moron?
Shoto, what’s far more amazing is how ONCE AGAIN the sheep fall for it. In the UK we have people who couldn’t find Ukraine on a map dressing up in yellow and light blue and promising never to drink the Russian vodka that they never drank anyway.
They will probably start reporting stateside on the daily weather in the Ukraine for everyone’s enlightenment. As if any of this really matters.
It matters to the Ukrainians
“It’s just a mask”.
I don’t think that example really shows what Occam’s Razor means.
It is not the “most simple.”
Stupid people parroting an ad slogan— “It’s that simple”— has zero to do, actually, with Occam’s Razor.
While I have enormous respect for JHK. – teddy
===========
^This^ is not a complete sentence.
I’m all for the Occam’s Razor line, too, during the fog of war.
I sent last Friday’s column to my older sister, who took the vaccine at the urging of her children last May, then developed runs of PACs and PVCs almost two weeks later, as well as a very labile blood pressure, then ended up on a Holter monitor for a month. She thought it was “no big deal” but her reception of this column was silence. I imagine the cognitive dissonance was too much; she has trouble with admitting error to people. She’s a smart woman, but also much too prideful. Thank goodness she’s cutting her losses and not getting any booster.
Nobody wants to admit they have been played.
Certainly not my sister. Nor did I want her to admit anything. I just wanted her to be damn sure not to compound her medical problems by letting her kids talk her into a booster. She even caught some kind of cov a month ago. I’ve never tested positive, even though I’m an unjabbed nurse who has lost count of my cov+ patients.
One week ago today an old friend died of a sudden heart attack. She had no prior cardiovascular problems and had strictly obeyed all the covid restrictions — double vaxxed, boosted, double masked and quarantined for a full year, getting groceries once every two weeks. Like many of these deaths, I doubt it will be tallied under the adverse effects of the vaccine but I’m suspicious that’s what it was.
A man I know who has been in good health the last two years, with zero bad health habits, just had a seizure.
A lot of the older victims will be chalked up to the problems of old age. My sister was 63 at the age where you might think a heart will start to skitter into atrial fibrillation, and such. Both our parents had that, after all. It is only the time to onset after her second vaccination that raises a brow.
Likewise, I have seen a *lot* of strokes and pulmonary embolism among the elderly, but never as I have last year. I’m really soured on my chosen profession, which has been utterly morally bankrupted. Cleaning toilets looks more appealing, right now.
Very sorry that you lost your old friend.
beth – looking forward, i wonder if you have any perspective on whether people generally will be looking to discriminate between those in the medical profession who went all in on the narrative vs those that accepted the risk of professional ostracism an kept their integrity.
i for one am disgusted with the profession generally, noting gratefully ben marble’s organization that helped us with scripts last feb when we got a ‘livelier’ version of the coof. i will be asking many questions of any medical professions i need to interact with in the future.
Justanotherguy: people are looking to independent practitioners more and more. This whole huggermugger got together hundreds of patriotic people in my county, and the efforts have diverged into two prongs: defeating the covidians wherever we find them, and taking back the statehouse for non-Democrats. The second prong also means getting rid of RINOs.
Let’s see if this new discrimination between good and sloppy clinicians goes farther. My opinion is that this depends on how harsh a blow we all decide to strike against bic clinics, big insurance, big pharma, and their bitches in “public service”. Most of what we hate about health care is the extent to which it has been turned into a rent seeking machine.
If you like your doctor, you are still free to kick his corporate technician ass to the curb.
Thanks megabeth — Kay was a very smart woman but firmly believed every word on MSNBC and whatever Fauci said. Odd isn’t it that the people who are less formally educated are better equipped to see through the B S?
I think it depends on whether or not one is easily indoctrinated. Your friend made the mistake of having MSDNC on, which is like an indoctrination booster shot. I’m starting to think that we’re living _They Live_ in real life.
Rest in peace, Kay.
SW – just like canines – the smartest breeds are the most easily trained.
SW
It has been pointed out by people like Prof. Mattias Desmet and Mark Crispin Miller that the more formally educated – and especially academics like my brainwashed bro – are more vulnerable to the effects of propaganda because they think they are too educated to fall for it.
A variety of Dunning Kruger, I think.
In my brother’s case, I also think his willingness to believe the government is partly due to his having gone from school to university to teaching in university – so pretty much a public-sector (very comfortable) beneficiary for his whole life.
What I don’t get is that (a) he spent decades teaching (computational) linguistics, yet can’t recognise propaganda when he sees it (a point I made directly to him) and (b) before that, as a self-taught computer science lecturer, he wrote a textbook on AI when it was in in its earliest stages, yet seems blissfully unaware of what it has blossomed into.
He tried to shut me up by saying ‘I don’t wish to be told what to think’. It appears to me he is delighted to be told what to think, as long as it’s by the Guardian and the Government’s Behavioural Insights Team (the ‘Nudge Unit’) which has shaped, manipulated and determined every thought he’s had, every action he’s taken and every fear he’s felt for the last 2 years.
The cognitive dissonance is mind-boggling.
SW: you’ve hit a key point. I’ve always been amazed how “ordinary” people who never went beyond middle school realised from the start that this was crap, while all the super intellectuals fell for it hook, line and sinker.
GA,
“It has been pointed out by people like Prof. Mattias Desmet and Mark Crispin Miller that the more formally educated – and especially academics like my brainwashed bro – are more vulnerable to the effects of propaganda because they think they are too educated to fall for it.
A variety of Dunning Kruger, I think.”
that is surely part of it, but IMO not all. There is also a class aspect to it.
Per Thomas Frank, in Listen, Liberal —excellent book– the highly educated form, basically, a social class with a class identity whose members are basically rewarded with not rocking the boat. Their paychecks depend on their effective identification with mainstream narratives and structures.
They will question within narrow boundaries only. they have not only a paycheck to defend but also their status.
Not a contradiction of the Desmet hypothesis but an augmentation of it.
Actually, i have never quite bought Desmet’s whole hypothesis. “mass formation” is a phrase that is too easily thrown about by people who don’t really understand the underpinnings and don’t know much history, either.
It is a hypothesis. That is all.
Before one would know the abnormal (like mass formation pscyhosis) and judge theories about it, one must know the normal. And the normal includes much conformity.
Kohlberg’s Conformist stage – which is the majority of people:
Stage 3. Good Interpersonal Relationships. The child/individual is good in order to be seen as being a good person by others. Therefore, answers relate to the approval of others.
• Stage 4. Maintaining the Social Order. The child/individual becomes aware of the wider rules of society, so judgments concern obeying the rules in order to uphold the law and to avoid guilt.

I kind of agree with you about the limitations of Desmet’s theory (and I think he is right in not adding ‘psychosis’, where others have done so, to his ‘mass formation’ terminology. Calling people psychotic sounds like an insult, in the same way that people use ‘anti-vaxxer’ when it isn’t necessarily accurate.
Although some the Desmet hypothesis is very likely accurate, it doesn’t cover everyone. For example, my brother and his wife were in no way suffering from ‘free-floating anxiety’ of any kind when covid hit – anything but. (And that was true for a lot of people who fell for the initial propaganda – including me, if I’m being honest, although at no point did I think lockdowns were necessary or OK, and I protested to my MP – for all the good that did – at the first mention of vaxx passports, well before I knew about the harms of the vaxxes themselves.)
I find MCM perceptive, though, and enjoy his interviews. He is unflinching in his view of his fellow academics (and students), and their propensity for right-think to preserve their status, as you say.
The “…less formally educated…” may have more practical life experience. I would not be surprised to hear a used car salesman tell me that it’s easier to sell a lemon to college-educated folks than it would be to swindle a farmer with a beater.
What is truly astonishing, and unexpected, is the dramatic loss of trust in medicine, and the appearance of thick cognitive dissonance in those trained to look at cause-and-effect and diagnose correctly. Over and over again, the personal narrative websites echo the plaint: “No medical professional would admit to taking my condition seriously. None would even agree to discuss the possibility that the injections were unsafe. The usual attitude was ‘Here, go see this junior clinician. He needs the business. Tell him your sad story and waste his time’. Or just ‘Go home and take an aspirin and get some rest. You may be stressed out or depressed. Now go away.’
I cannot even recall such an attitude even during the early days of AIDS, before researchers got a handle on the viral mechanism.
Where I live (Indonesia) poor quality control of physicians is an open secret. Even very expensive hospitals in new buildings with the finest German equipment will have dangerously incompetent doctors doing astonishing procedures.
One East Jakarta hospital specializing in coronary treatment reportedly gave their surgeons a five-operations-a-month quota. That should certainly comfort someone taking their kid in for an angiogram or ECG.
Bad doctors are quietly moved from hospital to hospital or shunted off to areas where they can cause less damage. Malpractice suits are unheard-of.
Thus people here will seek medical treatment in nearby Singapore or Malaysia if they can afford it. Such “medical tourism” is a huge business; Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore is even nicknamed “the Indonesian hospital” for all the sick richies looking for more reliable treatment.
Comes down to trust, or a paucity thereof. Those seeking treatment in cheaper Mexican hospitals used to have to calculate this potential peril; now it is infusing ostensibly honorable American and European medical institutions.
Loss of such trust is immensely difficult to restore, but in a purely business environment no one is held responsible, as long as the place continues to roll in the dough. “Cost of doing business.”
As Mark Twain said, It’s easier to fool people than to get them to admit that they’ve been fooled. The great Carny secret: the Mark sells himself.
Very true, Jarek. GK Chesterton was on the money too when he told us that it’s impossible to reason someone out of an opinion that they never reasoned themselves into. The Covidians used emotion, not reason, to paint themselves into a corner. They are too heavily invested emotionally to get out of it.
Hereward:
Good point re reasoning oneself into something vs. just accepting as gospel.
This is the difference between those who talk about “the science” and genuine scientists who honestly practice the scientific method to the best of their ability to constantly challenge their own assumptions, biases, aspects of the puzzle they may have missed, respond to good-faith challenges by other genuine scientists, in order to refine and strengthen their theories, or discard them if it comes to that.
You should get a Covid B and T cell titer. You could have had a mild case and your body developed immunity.
Most doctors refuse to order the test but a good immunologist will.
I don’t doubt that I’ve had something. Last April I was feeling crummy for 6 or 7 days, but tested negative on day 5. Otherwise, I’ve had the same pattern: feel malaise and a sore throat at bedtime and wake up feeling great . . . about 3 times per year. I firmly believe in my body’s defenses. My immune system is so vicious that it has attacked my own thyroid and eyes twice. Once, that happened a week after a flu vaccine, so I quit getting stupid vaccines.
Yes, par4.
Here’s an illustration of that.
You mean this was all for nothing? Isn’t that a hoot? Our bad! I guess we can all forget about the crimes against humanity; this is clearly one of those “was my face red” moments. nothing more:

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled” – Mark Twain
“Nobody wants to admit they have been played.”
Not quite ‘nobody’. I can attest that admitting you’ve been played is liberating. I’m not alone, as I know there are heaps of vaxxed people taking part in ever-growing medical freedom protests in multiple countries.
Not admitting you’ve been played, on the other hand, requires all sorts of cognitive dissonance baggage that I simply don’t have time for. Certainly not now. There’s enough going on in my head without that.
My big (boosted) bro, on the other hand, is fighting the truth tooth and nail. And, while I know ‘the awakening’ isn’t happening fast enough, it’s definitely happening.
Great point! Admitting error is the freeingest of feelings. Nothing to defend. No blame to cast.
“Freeingest”?
Not to put words in his mouth – but Q may suggest, “most freeing”. We’ll see.
Ron: Q is just sloppy enough in his dogged corrections that it’s sort of endearing.
My real thought on “freeingest” is that anyone with a mature prose style must reserve the right to butcher the language for effect, and I ain’t fooling.
liberating
I’m thinking that The Who’s very popular anthem, Won’t Get Fooled Again, is based on the realization that one has been fooled before.
JT: agree with you, but I love good old Anglo-Saxon words and try to keep latinate words for when I’m speaking or writing Spanish, Portuguese, or French. If the idea makes you smile, look up Anglish!
Hahahahaha! I’m with you, Beth. Write however you feel like writing. As long as I catch yer drift, I couldn’t care less how you spell. And neologisms are always welcome!
Freeingest is good enough to be a Dr. Seuss word.
I think the newly intelligent might be more willing to admit that they have been played if they could buy some kind of insurance that would prohibit the people who tried to warn them, whom they actually put down, dissed, played superior and “older sister” to, use abusive, derisory language on, etc. —if these people were prohibited from saying “I told you so.”
I know it might be considered bad manners to say I told you so, but most of us have been the butt of a lot of bad manners verging on abuse. So, I think there might be a moratorium on the “I told you so” prohibition.
Until these covid louts actually show that they possess the integrity to say, “I’m sorry. You were right and I was wrong.”
I know so many people in this mindset, now backed into an intellectual corner.
Some of the “smartest” people I know.
It will never happen.
“It is easier to fool people than to make them believe (accept might be a better word) that they have been fooled.”

The Market Ticker has written about that:
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=245270
I can’t help but think, if they’d stopped with the original basis for the emergency use authorization, that the shots (the aren’t vaccines and never were” could help provide some protection against hospitalization and death, for those at high risk of hospitalization and possibly death from the virus, we’d have been okay.
Nobody would be looking at possible long term damage that could affect fertility and future generations, because a person in his late 60s with poor health is very unlikely to be starting a family down the road.
But no! We allowed it to become “everybody get this shot to stop covid” or worse, to be allowed to get back to normal. They KNEW when they did this, that the injections could NOT stop a virus. They knew the potential for harm existed. They KNEW that masks and social distance were made-up voodoo, mere coercion. They knew that young people were at little to know risk. They also knew that Fauci is a demon from hell.
They forced vaccines on young adults, and gave them heart problems, and maybe even permanent genetic damage.
We need people to hang for what they’ve done.
They KNEW ALL ALONG.

They want to decrease the population and injecting infertility is a way to do it.

“She’s a smart woman, but also much too prideful.” There’s a lot of that going around. Much easier to see in someone else than in oneself.
The surest way to get any kind of cred with my big sis is to tell her “I don’t know” and “I was wrong”, as well as to apply a sense of humor. Our family was an argumentative crew, so this approach disarms the crap out of her.
And Jordan Peterson is right: saying true things only adds to one’s strength.
I really hate how the war pigs in our legacy media are oinking for Ukrainian blood, and lots of it. They are so brave with others’ flesh and bone.

… 2) Hunter Biden was massively financed by Russia, including “art.”
… 3) The US plus the EU are hugely arming the Ukraine.
… 4)Putin is being veeery selective in what he hits.
Bottom line: The Russian-owned Vegetable-in-Chief is giving Putin huge gift samplers of the entire Western armory.
Yes, I largely agree with your analysis here.
I’m not sure how much I agree with this statement:
“My theory of the case would be as follows: America’s Deep State provoked Russia in Ukraine to cover up its own massive crimes against American citizens which now verge on being fully exposed.”
I think several televised addresses to the Russian people about the reasons for Ukraine invasion give a clearer picture about the nature of this conflict. It’s about a number of things, but mainly about pushing back against forcing Russia into a subservient position in relation with Western powers.
If anything, Putin has been publicly talking about US corruption in Ukraine, not covering it up. Lately, for example, he spoke about how millions of USD came out of the US embassy at the time of the 2014 coup.
Prior to the invasion more than a few commentators noted that Biden had motive for Russia to act. This typically meant diversion of attention away from the covid debacle, low polling numbers, inflation, and the rest of the large domestic issues. What our host is referring to is Biden’s stewardship of Ukrainian matters while Obama’s VP. In short, Biden seen his opportunities and took ’em — using US taxpayer money that disappeared into various dark pockets including his own. Ordinary moron that he has always been, he bragged publicly about his influence to the Council on Foreign Relations.
For an investigative journalist’s report on the fraud against the US I recommend Israel Shamir:
The Plundering of Ukraine by Corrupt American Democrats, reposted by ZeroHedge 10-27-2019.
Yes, yes I know there are at least six sides to every story. But here is one of them.
When we ask of the invasion Cui Bono I seriously doubt that for the intermediate term the answer is Russia. On the contrary, Biden and Co. clearly benefit the most. It might even carry them through the mid terms.
Not true! It’s Nazis. Ukraine is run by Nazis.
Putin is a Liar too. But he knows when he is doing it. I’m not sure our leaders can make or care to make the distinction any more.
Lying to gain something is not moral, but it is not pathological either.
I notice the war mongers are trying to paint Putin as not in his right mind. He’s deadly clear on what he is doing.
The 2014 Rotfront Maidan Gangsters use the Ukrainian version of Contras, ambitious paramilitaries, as enforcers.
The ruling elite that have seized power in America use this same pattern again and again.
Depose the local

Steal the gold

justanotherguy I tried to find an article talking about how the US-backed “rebels” in Libya set up a bank during the US/NATO attack, which people at the time said was “Unusual”.
I guess that’s down the Memory Hole, but I did find this article talking about how the US froze Libya’s central bank funds, and stole $30 billion in their funds.
Sounds like what they just did to Russia! Oh, and what they did to Venezuela. And before that, Iran.

I read that only 28 members from Democrats and Republicans will be attending Biden’s SOTU address.
This was the only thing for which he could get all of them to jump out of their seats to applaud.
Like with the Genocide Olympics, I won’t be watching.
Amazing they can question Putin’s competence, but not that of the incompetent and seemingly senile leader of the free world. (what a joke) Seems everyone in MSM is afraid to tell the evil emperor he has no clothes. As for me, I worry about this imbecile and his wicked administration deliberately starting the third world war, which they are most surely pushing.

It’s all playing out as if there were no Trump Presidency at all. These plans would have been executed in 2016 had Clinton won the presidency.
The impeachment of Trump over Ukraine was the cover up you speak of. This is has a different motive, one in the same with the purveyors of COVID. I think the Russians are a thorn in the side of the WEF. Friggin’ bears do whatever they want. The tricky part in this thesis is the apparent rapprochement between China and Russia. Is it real?
China’s fingerprints are all over COVID, so are ‘Merica’s. The Biden’s seem to be just fine fucking Ukraine in one sense of the word, and fucking China in another sense of the word.
Me thinks, China will fuck Russia, in that first sense of the word, and then fuck the Biden’s in the same way, AFTER, they get all they want from him.
I’m buying that Russia’s motivation is NATO and the Donbass, but I’d bet they are being manipulated into a trap and are about to be neutralized in the real war being prosecuted by the WEF and the Globalist Billionaire Cartel.
This is Putin we’re talking about here right? I can’t see him getting manipulated into a trap by the globalist pigs, he’s far too experienced for that gambit. It might be the reverse, Putin may be using the NATO/Donbass thing as a pretext for his actual goal. Think of it this way: Putin, being well aware of the Nazi money laundering crime wave that is Ukraine and who’s behind it (thorn in the WEF side as you said), prosecutes this “invasion” with a remarkable degree of restraint and precision. Almost like he’s interested in not making too much of a mess and is keen on preserving certain people and intel for evidence, you know, should the need arise to use it in the near future.
You could be right about China though, and you’re definitely right about the Trump impeachment being a cover-up for Ukraine/US corruption.
Putin was a KGB Lt. Col. You think his mentality has changed. He sent thousands to Gulags. He will liquidate thousands of innocent Ukrainians while you ass clowns blame Biden. GD you’re stupid.
Just exactly was Putins job in the KGB and how do you know that “he sent thousands to Gulags”?
How is it that you are so well informed?
Dude…

Alfred, I think it is the globalist who will get screwed by Putin. For all his faults, he’s streets ahead of them. The WEF gang live in a globalist bubble and have no idea of reality. Don’t forget, Schwab isn’t a businessman or even a pol; he’s an academic.
You may be right about Schwab not being up to Putin—I sure hope so. But he is not really an academic.
He is more like Gates—leading an international NGO-like enterprise, although it is not an NGO. But it acts like one.
His training is engineering.
His family’s business was an engineering business.
That company was a Nazi model company in the forefront of developing certain items needed for German nuclear arms.
His wife’s family’s business is an engineering company with heavy interests in AI.

Twitter is awash this morning with false virtue in the form of Ukranian colors. In most cases, these colors are wedged right in between the rainbow and pronouns. It’s rather breathtaking how easy it is to mindfuck the gender confused.
Indeed. The (astroturf) trends column is more absurd than usual.
Liz – Maybe not breathtaking – seems anyone who can’t understand there are no more than two genders, is probably an easy mark – wide open to mindfuckery.
This is what awaited the Ukrainian people. Putin has saved them from the Rainbow.
That’s also why the West hates Putin. It’s not just Ukraine and the Crimea and natural gas; it’s because he refuses to kowtow to the alphabet people or the green garbage.
Russia is getting Canceled.
Same tactics used everyday in woke-clown-world.
1.) Antagonize target until target responds
2.) Invoke, “it’s not what you said, but how you said it argument”
3.) Loudly denounce target, reinforce with tons-o-bullshit
4.) Isolate target and apply pressure until target breaks
5.) Neutralize target
Alfred – you could not have hit the nail more squarely on the head. Perfect summary – drove it home in one shot.
Exactly. The cancellation tactic.
But, there is a big world out there beyond the West’s cancellation gambit.
Putin warned others not to interfere in the Ukraine.
The future of life, or human life, on Earth may depend on the West’s taking him seriously on this.
They are trying to cancel him, Alfred, but this ain’t a lonely conservative professor on a leftie campus. This is a tough, nuclear armed nation with a proud history.
These people – the easily programmed – have gotten to where they will believe anything that Hologram Joe and the CIA-controlled media tells them. It’s cringeworthy to watch.

Every war the US has conducted has been a wag the dog effort to bolster “Unity” when the political divisions threatened the Deep State.
Americans are suckers for their very corrupt, over politicized government. Just watch one day of cable or especially network news and analytical programs to find out why. Television , radio, social media are all as responsible for the BS level being so high as much as the education system.
I am so convinced that the entire mess is being run from an”invisible” globalist liberal organization. To me, the Russian reaction in Ukraine, never discussed by the media, is because it, Putin, knows that it is as much of a target for the anti nationalists as the US is. Unlike the cowards in DC and its media, Putin is fighting these bastards.
Just a thought, China through the Cartels is setting up a country to oppose the US on on southern border. Mexico and Latin America are sources for peoples that are invading the US to destroy it economy. Are they less of a threat to us than Ukraine is to Russia? We open the border, Russia goes to war to protect itself.
Story today says that Germany has decided to kick in its 2% to NATO. That really makes me laugh.
BTW, Fox has been horrible in its coverage.
Fox is only a slightly less disagreeable flavor of propaganda.
They’re just playing ‘good cop’ to CNN’s ‘bad cop’.
They are playing to their respective market demographics.
It’s all about advertising revenue. One hour spent being programmed breaks down to about 42 minutes of the main programming of the hour, and 18 minutes of the advertising part of the programming experience.
Want version A, for example, it’s on CNN. Want version B, it’s on Fox. Same story, different spin… demographics of the respective markets.
Yes, I agree with you John.
Russia has valid, legitimate, and historically proven problems with having a vast military alliance like NATO directly sharing its border.
What is the role and mission of NATO?
The Soviet Union has been gone for 30 years.
NATO is a military alliance in search of enemies. It has no mission.
Yup!
The mission of NATO is to be the reason the American MIC sucks so much taxpayer money out of the country. And ten percent for the Big Guy, of course.
Its mission is to be a customer.
Pete, NATO is BIGGER now than during the Cold War. I mean, WTF?! I also read what Stoltenberg said a while back about Russian have zero say in Ukraine joining Nato. You just don’t talk to a superpower like that.
Some morons have even resurrected the word, “krauts”. Shameless War Pigs.

They won’t put a fence on the border, but protecting American politicians from the people is very serious business.
And I wish Old MmmmMMVv
Sorry
And I wish Old Joe would quit making threats to unleash his hordes of screaming drag queens on Putin. After Afghanistan his threats sound as lame as Lindsey Graham warning of his fists of fury.
I thought fences didn’t work?! But maybe it’s to keep Biden from wandering off.
Pretty much the latter. The opposition keeps trying to troll him with vans saying “Free Hair!”
Guess we won’t be seeing any “coverage” of the Freedom Convoy hitting the Beltway.
a really good troll would be to add 100’s of sign’s to the fence’s around the white house.

Hopefully, Biden can stay awake and remain coherent long enough to read the speech his handlers have prepared for this occasion. Yeah, right! I’m going to skip this embarrassing episode and just read a brief summary tomorrow night.

Q: Aren’t the Russians merely Antifa but on a grander scale?
Antifa in the US are actually furthering fascist agendas for the PTB, so no, I’d say the Ukraine nazis are more like Antifa.
Yeah, but if you take “anti-fascist” literally, then it’s the Russians.
Antifa in the US are brownshirt thugs for the DNC.
Neither are Democracies in our sense of complete freedom of the press, civil rights, etc. Putin is probably better since Zelensky and Co overthrew an actual Western Democracy or something close to it.
Putin is a Fascist (and that doesn’t preclude voting or some freedoms) in his love for his Nation and it traditions. Obviously he fits the Strong Man mold.
Zelensky would have moved Ukraine towards special rights for all kinds of different groups, etc. Modern American style Communism – which has a strong Maoist input.
lets call it gramsci-ian communism for short.
“if you take “anti-fascist” literally” “Anti-whatever” is the tell that a line of BS is being pushed. Similar terms of late include “democracy”, “expert”, “CDC”, and “FBI”.
Yes, people are against the antifa and they are against Fascism too. How does that work? Maybe because they don’t know what Fascism is and can’t be bothered to find out.
The antifa actually do know: It’s Nationalism. Thus they seek to destroy anything and everything that supports a nation and its institutions. A motely collection of crazed idealists and vicious freaks.
No. But the Chechens are close?
Russia is once again being used as the boogeyman and whipping boy by the MSM as a means to justify the corporatist/globalist and Deep State agenda.
One one hand, Russia is a fearsome enemy. On the other, it is stumbling and weak. The drivel coming from the MSM over this conflict is straight out of Nazi propaganda.
The “heroes of western civilization” like Zelensky are bravely fighting the Russian aggressor, who wants to bring ‘authoritarianism’ to Europe.
The border to Ukraine is what is paramount. Not the US/Mexico border, or any other border in which the globalist cabal which runs most of the planet holds power.
Yeah, pushing Zelensky as some kind of hero really pushes the limits of credulity. Jumped the shark, they did.
It’s shocking the number of people who buy it on Zelensky. Even I did at the beginning. Why? because somebody said he was comparitively better than the former Presients there. Then you have the MSM saying he and his family will die fighting for Ukraine. People just eat that stuff up.
One simple fact the entire MSM are overlooking is that the current Russian Army is a shadow of the Soviet Red Army.
The current Russian Army has something like 300k on active duty.
In the ’80s, the Soviet Red Army had something in the range of 3-4 million on active duty.
But, the MSM won’t tell you that because they want everyone’s Cold War memories to drive the erroneous fear that the current Russian Army is enormous as the Soviet one.
Of course.
Moreover, the MSM does not and will not provide context to any of this conflict, including the full versions of Putin’s public speeches on Ukraine. I read the NYT’s heavily edited version of Putin’s first speech on the Ukraine war, complete with NYT opinion on every paragraph of Putin’s speech, but not his whole unedited speech. It tells you everything. The MSM does not want people to think for themselves.
I’m not anti-Ukrainian. On behest of Tsarina Catherine the First, my family helped create the Russian border between the Ottoman and Russian Empires. The people who live in Ukraine are good people. It’s sad to see what is happening.
However, pushing NATO up to the border with Russia is a terrible mistake by the West.
Every invasion of Russia has come from the West. The Germans did it twice in the last century, along with the Poles, and other powers. Russia must not allow another imperialistic power to threaten their sovereignty like that again.
That’s a good point, Pete. Napoleon’s invasion in 1812 is perhaps to distant to be relevant (perhaps not) but in 1914 immense German/Austrian armies drove deep into Russian territory. Russia military casualties exceeded 2 million soldiers in WW1.
The US media will not allow Americans to read primary sources and make up their own minds.
They almost always ignore Putin’s speeches, but if they “cover them” it is always as you say, excerpts mixed thoroughly with ridiculous interpretations and outright propaganda.
I read Putin’s speeches by going to RU, but now the US is censoring that website.
We must remain ignorant and in the dark!
I think the Mongols came from the East. They were more successful than either the French or the Germans.

USA has existed.
The West agreed during the Clinton administration not to bring Ukraine into NATO and not to place offensive weapons on Ukraine soil. President Obama and Biden broke that promise, and in addition to bringing about the Maiden insurrection to remove a government friendly to Russia, started pushed for Ukraine membership. Putin warned the West that that was an existential threat and offered to negotiate. Apparently, Biden and the deep state is hell-bent on bringing about a war with Russia, No one ever talks about the Russian history of being invaded by the Ottoman empire, Poland, Sweden, before the Germans in WWII. This invasion would not have taken place if Biden and NATO had agreed there would be no membership for Ukraine, or the original agreement signed by President Clinton had been honored. Does not make war acceptable, but there are guilty parties on both sides.
It is an excellent point. I kept hearing of 100K+ Russian troops on the Ukraine border.
With the size of their army, it is a significant number, but not a real invasion force. It is what they likely determine they need to protect the mere few hundred kilometers separating Moscow from the border. In a grander scheme, it ‘s not a massive army. They have 7 other time zones worth of land mass to protect.
Their strength is in superior weapons systems, huge force multipliers, developed and paid for at a fraction of what the US spends for projects like the F35.
That “border” is so vital “Joe Biden” is sending CBC agents to Europe.
Only to allow more illegals to invade the U.S.
one one hand?
It is noteworthy that the same people demanding mask mandates and vaccines are also the very same people supporting the NAZI’s in Ukraine. It is really sad to see how easily people can be conned but it is what it is.
Ukrainian President Zelensky is Jewish.
yes–and some say VP is also ‘that’.
Are you a racist? Are you saying that a Jew can not be a National Socialist? What else can’t Jews be? Please enlighten us.
Wake up!
Gladly, Nick: Indeed they can be. Likud is just that, being completely for Israel as a exclusively Jewish state.
German National Socialism – which I’m assuming is the model for the Azov faction, would not want a Jewish president, lol. Feel silly yet? Who are they for? Why, the Germans. Or in this case, the Russo-Ukrainians.*
I checked the Wiki: More than half of the Azovs are Russian speakers. I’m assuming they hate Putin because he doesn’t want an exclusively White Russian, Russia.
once again, you don’t know your history.
there were several prominent jews serving with the nazis in germany.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/ellen-feldman-nazi-germany
very easy to find if you admit it and do a simple search.
your assertion is simplistic and juvenile.
“Several”! Just like the tiny number of hermaphrodites was (is?) used by the nascent Trans-Rights movement to invalidate the idea of two sexes. This is a common ploy of Leftists who construct an entire counter narrative based on exceptions anomalies.
Juvenile or basic? If you don’t know the difference, you are doing the same thing, whether you’re a Leftist or not.
Actually there were more than several. Many Jews served in the Nazi armed forces. Maybe they were Jews according to the strict Nuremberg code, in other words mixed people who identified with their German side, German culture, and the German cause. Or perhaps ultra-careerists. I assume if people in both these categories were essential or really good at their jobs, their heritage was overlooked. No Cause will succeed without a very healthy dose of pragmatism, eh?
Nuland, Kagan, and Soros say hello- neocons gotta neocon.
Ukraine, oddly, is majority Orthodox.
The entire illegitimate regime has been notably ethnic since Yulia Timenov.
Historically, 78% of the Prohibition gangs were notably ethnic, too.
It’s a gangster culture, has been since that old slave-raider, Abraham the Lucifer.
(“What?! Who, me? I didn’t get us kicked out of civilization, no siree, that was some other guy! Really!”)
Those same people root for Zelensky to recklessly distribute firearms to untrained Ukrainian civilians while they rage for total gun confiscation and ending the 2A in the US.
Communists aren’t against guns, just their enemies having them.
At the end of the 2nd World War, Germany began arming children too and after the war, we prosecuted those that committed that particular war crime. This will be no different.
Handing out guns to children is punishable by death.
Thanks Jim for your blog. Its one of my top 3.
HECKLER, I saw this,
Saw a friend in New Hampshire who did videos going around to local liquor stores, they are missing all their Russian vodka with notes on shelves saying the governor has demanded all of it be removed.
Idiotic in the extreme.
Aaaahahahahahahahahaha
Oh my God! What next? Playing `Freedom roulette’?
That’ll put a ding in ’em. As I understand it, Russia exports 1.2% of their vodka to the US. I can hear them cryin’ already.
Freedom Fries anyone?
I remember those from 2003. How dare the frogs not join the Iraq invasion. At least the purging of all things French didn’t extend to freedom poodles and freedom kissing.
Meanwhile, horde your Russian salad dressing before it’s banished to the grocery gulag.
Freedom roulette?
I guess the Big Lebowski will have to drink White Freedoms from now on.
Victory Vodka!
And Victory Gin for Winston Smith.
Obeying a government DEMAND as a protest against a head of state using force to get what he wants.
Yes. Now I have seen that most states have directives to liquor stores forcing the removal of Russian vodka.
Notice though it was voluntary back in the Iraq war days with the French wine.
Now it’s dictated. So, part of the psyops.
It never occurs to the store owners to ignore the demands?
Maybe the State will seize their bank accounts and pull their liquor licenses.
Gosh, where have I seen that happen recently?
The covid19 programming has held well.
I read that most “Russian” vodka sold in the US isn’t made in Russia.
But let the suckers make their “statements” by pouring “Russian” vodka into the streets.
Yep. Someone certainly screwed up when they chose Brandon as the latest iteration of US Hustler in Chief, a role much more suited for someone of Bill Clinton’s or Barack Obama’s unique talents. The poor old fool can’t lie convincingly to save his soon to be expired life, a terminal liability for someone whose very reason for being is to peddle bullshit.
But President Potato Head has the media firmly behind him trying their best to make him look like a fearless, commanding figure. From today’s Yahoo news feed:
“Biden’s aides say his actions in recent days were an example of the caution and consensus-building that have always been at the heart of his sales pitch to voters. In his State of the Union address Tuesday, Biden is expected to focus on inflation and the still-recovering economy, a primary concern to the public.
But drafts of the speech have been revised repeatedly throughout the week to take account of Biden’s challenge to President Vladimir Putin of Russia and the sweep of events in Europe, all with an eye firmly fixed on Biden’s place in history.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
LOL!!
“Believe us, not your lying eyes/ears”
Biden’s place in history is as an asterisk and as a Chinese ashtray.
reminds me – i’ve got a chinese supplier lined up for some bidenhead urinal splashies.
gonna improve beer sales at least 120%
Biden could remind us of his greatest accomplishment: Getting the US out of Afghanistan. Perhaps he can repeat this miracle and get Russia out of the Ukraine.
Disaffected,
there’s no bench. Bill & Barack were both very talented and charismatic crooks. Now there’s only common, mediocre crooks available.
Bill- now there’s a skilled liar.
Skilled liar? Bubba Bill used to glaze my eyes over with his faux-earnest logorrhea. Yes, I reluctantly voted for him, but damn, if he didn’t remind me of Eddie Haskell! Or maybe Jon Lovitz’ “That’s the ticket!” character on Saturday Night Live.
Eddie Haskell. LOL. May I say Mrs. Cleaver that’s a lovely blue dress you’re wearing. Can I rub up against it?

Bill as ”folksy” and Obama as a ”skilled orator” were both media creations also, like George the Lesser after 9-11 was turned into a great Fearless Leader.

Supporting Soros, Gates, the Clintons, the Bushes, the Fed, the Big Pharma companies, the insurance companies, the Bidens (who will soon be obsolete when Joe keels over), and anyone else who kept him in power and Michele in new clothes.
He needs to do the SOTU unshaven, in a t shirt, and wearing a helmet. These props will help him. He’s being upstaged by the Ukrainian actor.
Excellent idea, Jarek, except it wouldn’t do for him to have his beard sprouting behind his ears. Tight face-lift, you know.

-“homicides they carried out and will be criminally liable for”.
Unlike days of yore, when the malefactors could enlist the church to threaten the sanctions of god, thereby “hiding”, this medium we’re using is All Seeing. One can be found as to abode, place of work, upcoming appearances etc… As these “powers” are quite aware of this (threat assessments), we’ll know exactly when they’re panicking by the attempt to censor the CFN type sites. In that they must enlist gov’t apparatchiks to effect this, we will have clearly identified positions to “appeal” to. It only takes one/two successfully conducted appeals to render such tomfoolery void. Or else the move up in appeals.
Many fall back on the thinking, if the criminal justice system fails, that upon death, justice will prevail. I would opt to hedge that bet, if needed for myself or mine. Nuff Said.

theres now an Arbery day.
Ahmaud Arbery
The following acts are relevant: . On March 14, 2013, security camera Video from South Georgia Technical College reveals Mr. Arbery provided a friend a pair of wire cutters to use as a weapon as he, the friend, and others waited for another group of men to appear. When the other group arrived, Mr. Arbery and the others engaged in a violent fight; .’
On December 3, 2013, Glynn County Police reports reveal Mr. Arbery unlawfully concealed a handgun into his waistband and tried to gain admission into a high school basketball game
Ahmaund is ready to take his place in the pantheon of martyrs. He also had used the “I’m just out jogging” routine to burglarize before but that wasn’t allowed to be brought up at his trial.
I think he may have been autistic?
Ive watched a lot of video of him, and he seemed pretty goofy for a blk guy; what 25 year old blk male doesn’t have a cell phone?
Autism would also explain his repeated trips to the house under construction, where he just walks around looking but doesn’t take anything?
I know autism is a “white thing”; but some blk people do have it; its just not recognized as such because they are black.
My understanding is his kind are more likely to be schiz.
Interesting how almost no black women are anorexic or bulimics- yet many are obese.
He may have been a drug user.
Now he is a martyr. He grabbed someone’s gun!
He was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder:

Thinness was/is not marketed to blk females in the way it is to white females. White females have the luxury of the choice of appearing small and weak because their value as white women means they will be protected and cared for by white men.
This is in contrast to blk females who are basically “on their own.”
Think about how Billie Eilish was sold to teenage white girls?

Thus you are implying that “autism” (using “quotation marks” because the condition is “controversial”) is not “racist”?
Who knew?
Maybe we will be lucky and the canonization of Ahmaud Arbery will encourage other joggers to emulate St. Ahmaud and attempt to yank shotguns out of white guys’ hands, thus assuring themselves of instant martyrdom.
The main problem I see is running out of Saints’ Days.
C’mon, Malthuss. He was probably stressed about the next day’s neurology exams at medical college
Talk about propaganda and a lame MSM. Take a look at some live streams from Kiev, Ukraine. I don’t see or hear any gunfire.
https://www.webcamtaxi.com/en/ukraine/kiev/maidan-nezalezhnosti.html
traffic seems a little light but it’s suppertime. I do see on American TV reporters reporting on scene with helmets and body armor. They’re so brave to be in the “War” zone. If I lived there why would I be huddled underground as they say. I’ve also seen in differant reports that many of the “refugees” are actually headed back to the “Motherland”. Now why would they be evacuating to Russia? Perhaps because they are Russian?
Very interesting webcam. Thank you sir.
Back in 1990, President Gorbachev of the now defunct Soviet Union was led to believe by Secretary of State James Baker that NATO would not be expanded eastward beyond Germany in exchange for the Soviets not objecting to the unification of Germany. But Baker’s assurances were not put in writing and in fact NATO did expand eastward. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early
Subsequent Russian leaders also objected to NATO’s eastward expansion but they were too weak to do anything about it. Putin drew a line in the sand and said no more expansion of NATO. The Maidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2014, encouraged by the US, led to the Russian takeover of Crimea and its support of Ukraine’s breakaway states in eastern Ukraine.
Crimea had a referendum and voted on it.
Takeover, my butt. Why do the Defenders of Democracy hate democracy?
Crimeans have the same right to self determination as the Kosovans did. America bombed Serbia to ensure the latter.
There is a trucker convoy headed to DC to protest the restrictive covid laws in the US.
The response of the federal government is to erect barricades and call out the national guard.
Does that sound like a healthy nation, to you?
The American convoy is a silly mistake, imo, unless they adopt a justified raison d’être. C19 vax/mask mandates are pretty much yesterday’s news, aren’t they?
Still have to mask on a plane.
90-95% of countries still have a Covid jab requirement for entry.
Many countries still have test requirements for entry, even if jabbed and boosted.
Some countries still have isolation and quarantine requirements.
The vaccine passports are here, and our government is pretending they are merely a “requirement” of individual businesses, like having to wear pants.
They are a globalist infringement on our sovereignty, for one.
Oh, no doubt, Beryl, no doubt. But is the issue gonna take flight again, like it did last year? I just think that, with the Canadian truckers having already done it, our truckers won’t get much, uh, mileage out of their encore as it’s currently constituted.
Why not go for the gusto and force the actual issue at hand — the crooks are in charge and we gotta blast ‘em outta their hides-holes. I wanna see our truckers encircling the swamp so’s we can march in with our pitchforks to annihilate the bastards!

We need a convoy to encircle the Davos meeting in May (theme: Working Together, Restoring Trust). They’ve already rescheduled – I’m surprised they dare show their faces to be honest, since so many people now know what they’re up to. The security must be phenomenal.
Green Alba, some years ago on Amtrak, I met a couple from Switzerland.
I asked them why no one ever protested the Davos meeting and they said that the only way in other than private jets was a lift (?) and that they had guards there making sure that no riffraff was allowed to take it up the mountain.
Well, that explains it! They obviously chose the location carefully. It sounds even more like a Bond-villain setting.
Most third-world countries don’t have a clue, or have the wrong clue. They aren’t even making a profit off the nonsense, so “Follow the Money” doesn’t work.
They simply ape whever the current mood and motion with “the authorities” happens to be.
It’s pathetic.
The other thing that burns me is how the Chinese, who have a perfectly good, if useless, vaccine in Sinovac and Sinopharm, feel they have to leap onto the mRNA

I doubt their motive is population extermination. Just the opposite: now they are getting antsy about deflating birth rates.
Where I live no one wears masks in stores except the faithful clueless, but all employees have to wear masks while working a shift. Probably one reason there are so many help wanted signs up. I think the mask and vaccine mandates on school kids and working people are insane and still worth giving support to a protest movement no matter how ill-timed by international events overtaking them.
Same here.
It enrages me to see that they have lifted mask mandates on adults, but kept them for children.
They are evil.

I am waiting for the wall to be built around the government sector of DC. Most of the European cities during feudal times built self protection walls to ward off feuding lords. The idiots in DC are going to build theirs against the people of the US.
How about the US dividing into four sections with four capitals.
The mid Atlantic to New England area. DC or NY.
The South. Minority driven. Atlanta
The Midwest and mountain states. Kansas City
The West Coast. Technology driven. Sacramento
The borders could be arbitrary, good example Texas, South or West?
How soon after division would the sectors start to fight each other?
Great Lakes states out to Montana, I say, with the biggest Great Lakes cities encysted behind their own walls, where they can slaughter each other like Medicis and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
Throw Idaho in there.

“SWIFT: As the financial industry’s NEUTRAL and trusted infrastructure provider, we help our community of over 11,000 institutions move value around the world reliably and securely.”
How can “Joe Biden” or any politician for that matter “cut off Russia” from SWIFT? Wouldn’t that be like telling Apple “you will stop doing business with Russia immediately”?
SWIFT is a private company with HQ in Belgium. The shareholders are the banks which use its wire transfer services.
A Russian gent is the 3rd person listed on the board of directors.
They (whoever “they” are) were able to stop the legal transfer of donations through GoFundMe so it seems to me the money flow can be manipulated quickly. Remember, our money now is primarily digital — bank accounts, debit or credit cards and the Fed on a higher level.
The beast has two hands, one “public” and one “private”. Private does bad things all the time, just like individuals in everyday life. Private controls our money supply against the wishes of the Founders as written in the Constitution.
How’s The Big Guy getting his 10% cut? The old fashioned way, an envelope stuffed with cash?
Germany to Vlad: Hi, Mr P. Can we have our natural gas now to stop us all freezing this winter?
Vlad: Sure. That will be X billion euros, please.
Germany: You accept SWIFT, of course?
Vlad: Ah, actually I’ve been kicked out of that system. So, I’m sorry but I think I’ll send the natural gas to someone who can actually pay me.
Better yet, gangsters squat on the Gazprom lines and demand their “transit fees”.
Okay, reasonable cost of business, until way too many Americans demand a piece too.
So now Russia, like Iran, like Iraq, has to sell through a third party, who then delivers to the same location.
Guess who the third party is?
Yup, the same gangsters who squatted on the supply route in the first place.
PS- same pipelines, too; only the paper entity changes.
“There are no real functioning international news agencies anymore.”
Nope.
gustafson,
I thought that was the best observation today. A fog of propaganda, which always existed, has gotten so thick now it’s impossible to know what’s going on.
I read a few of the mass media screens, a few of the available counter narratives and try to extrapolate some point in between, but it’s very hard.
Re. the counter narratives: outlets such as RT & saker.is, while worth a look, have turned almost as shrill as NYT, just batting for the other side.
The most rewarding hour trying to understand the situation is probably spent at moon of alabama. There’s a high proportion of commenters there with a good grasp of history and geopolitics, very international and surprisingly, with a high proportion who don’t necessarily support either side, but make an honest attempt at understanding the situation. Also good links to “citizen reporter” sort of short videos and observations in situ, unmediated by an “official” explanation.
“…who don’t necessarily support either side…”? Do we also not know whether Russia attacked Ukraine?
Starlost, I’m lost! I mean I don’t understand your comment. If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then yes and no.
Ukraine, and the West, have been attacking Russia for 30 years. Bringing offensive weapons by expanding NATO, round after round of sanctions, persecution and shelling against ethnic Russian populations, the whole Yugoslavia affair when Belgrade (a close Russian ally) was bombed and Kosovo recognized, it’s a long list.
And yes, we know, strictu sensu, Russia invaded Ukraine – right after Ukraine threatened to first, join NATO, and when that was shot down, asserting it would pursue nuclear weapons.
So, a bit of context is useful. “Russia attacked Ukraine” (with its assumption of good guys and bad guys) is not a very good tool to explain what we’re seeing.
I’d like to learn more about the possible/alleged bioweapons labs in the area.
More fuel for the fire.

Ukrainian military have been attacking the Russian separatist republics in Donbas since 2015 against the MINSK Accords.
Saw a video yesterday with Max Blumenthal interviewing a former American from Texas who moved to Donbas ten years ago. He married a lady there and they live five miles from a military installation that likes to fly huge Nazi flags. The region is regularly shelled with houses blown up. One woman lost her husband, her ten year old daughter and her arm was blown off. She had to dig her three year old and newborn out of the rubble. She is Russian and speaks Russian.
THIS is why Putin went in and declared the two breakaway republics on his western border as “Independent”. He waited seven years too long.
Also, no one seems to want to talk about the 30 US Bioweapons labs scattered throughout Ukraine.

“…no functioning news agencies…”
Artist Robert Crumb, domiciled in France, put it succinctly:
“You don’t have journalists over there anymore, what they have is public relations people. That’s what they have over in America now. Two-hundred and fifty thousand people in public relations. And a dwindling number of actual reporters and journalists.”
No doubt the Russia/Ukraine conflict is Covid related.
Here is my take/speculation:
China/Russia know who is really behind the virus and it is the cabal (Clinton/Obama crew) currently running the U.S.
China tipped Russia off about the US involvement in the virus and leaking it in their country and making them take the blame. Didn’t have to tip them off really as it is obvious.
Likely Russia was aware of the labs in Ukraine and with the Covid-19 waning, Biden crumbling polls and jab deaths piling up the desperate would try another round of virus. They could blame Russia and cover up the jab deaths this way.
Russia bombed the labs in Ukraine under the guise of taking out specific military targets but it was also to take out the labs. Dealing with the other issues Ukraine related would be used as cover.
Our country/s lack of competent leadership will become more and more obvious, Crisises in politics and economics in April will not be something they will be able to fix. It will open many eyes.
Talking to Covidians about the virus scam will be interesting in a few months.

My money’s on the Covidians won’t want to talk.
I’m not sure I’m interested in what they might say.
Yes NGT – they already won’t talk. Prick that I am, I’ve taken to asking them, “Where’s COVID? Has anyone seen COVID?” – no answers.
After 15 seconds of embarrassed silence, I follow up with, “I guess Biden stopped the virus, just like he said he would when he was running for election?”.
Embarrassed silence again. I love it.
When Russia and China issued their joint statement on the first day of the Olympics, they both called for an honest investigation into the origins of SARS 2 and for a stop to US bioweapon labs on Russia’s border.
Maybe that’s why the US pushed Ukraine to step up the attacks on the citizens of Donbass.
The problem with all this taking out and bombing biolabs is that you release what’s inside them…
Yes. Chances are much better that the plan is to seal them off and then study exactly what the US is up to putting bioweapons labs in Ukraine and collecting Russian blood and DNA.
I have my guesses.

Why has it taken two whole years for people to understand that this was not about a virus?
Docile Western populations are so completely indoctrinated and brainwashed they are no longer capable of critical thinking, or even asking basic questions about extraordinary claims?
Makes one wonder:
Why is it that from the beginning of Covid so many of us knew we would never submit to an experimental jab with no long term safety studies?
Since I graduated college in 1973 I have been spending my days reading books, attending lectures etc. and the bottom line for me is that I realize all the US government has ever done is to lie.
Republicans and Democrats.
Yet I have relatives and (former) friends who raced to the lines to get jabbed against a virus with a 99.97 survival rate.
Some very “smart” people have been sucked into the mass formation while there is a solid 30% who just refuse to drink the Kool-Aid.

I’m probably behind the times on this, but I thought Russia had hypersonic missiles that we can’t match. Isn’t that situation putting the West in a dangerous spot? Would somebody knowledgeable please explain?
What does that have to do with anything? Note we aren’t fighting them – it’s just our weapons. The Ukrainians have don’t know how to use the weapons so how threatening is that to Russia?
They don’t have to waste a missile to destroy us. We’re doing it on our own.
Mmmhmm. Yer right. I still wanna know about the hypers.
Putin already gave notice that Russia will not do what they did in the other wars, lose millions of people while other countries go without civilian casualties
The supersonic missiles are for that. If the US continues to manipulate death and destruction from abroad, Russia will take it to the source.
Personally, I would take him at his word.
Jeez, I tried to search for the exact speech and all I got was page after page of war propaganda about Ukraine.
The Russkies have hypersonics; we have hyperinflation. Not fair at all!
JT,
I’m not knowledgeable, but here’s my take. Russia is keeping a lot in reserve.
We’re seeing just a fraction of their resources at play. Troop levels are relatively low, and not necessarily first-tier. Lots of aging armor and weapons. Air supremacy could be a lot stronger, in fact they could have wrapped this up already using air strikes alone if they were to conduct an American style operation. Regarding this, I think they are making an attempt at minimizing civilian damage. Perhaps they know the “optics” would be bad and generate a lot of propaganda opportunities for the other side. I think they are deluded if they think they can win the info war, but my impression is that they are treading carefully when it comes to “collateral damage”.
There’s the hypersonic and other advanced rocketry that’s not being used. Their cyber warfare is absent so far, too.
They haven’t used the energy tool (shutting off gas to Europe, oil exports to the US) despite harsh sanctions, which is very puzzling.
All kinds of trouble could be started from their allies in Latin America (Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua), yet they haven’t. Same with Syria.
There’s other elements that make me conclude that they’re in this for the long haul, and not revealing their hand early on. There’s no way back for them. If they withdrew now, Ukraine would become a much more difficult, aggressive problem than it was a week ago.
They probably see this as a long chess game. Winning it is something like pushing back NATO and inflicting a serious humiliation on the US and Europe. This is only the early stages, probing in a way, seeing what’s the minimum amount of force needed to accomplish their goals. The other team has pretty much shown their hand almost in full by now. Sanctions, propaganda, stupid gesturing like canceling flights, football matches and vodka. This is not much, and what else do they have? Not much. An all out land war in Eurasia is unthinkable at this point. Nuclear? The Russkis are reminding them to not even think about that.
Just my 2¢: we ain’t seen nothing yet.
I think I agree with you, Ron. And, hypers aside, the unthinkable is becoming way too close for comfort. I certainly don’t trust “Joe Biden” to calm any waters anywhere. Nor BoJo. Nor Macron. Nor any of the meat puppets currently “in charge.”
Sorry. Rulo, not Ron. Rulo is not a legitimate name, according to my iPad.
No worries! Glad to be confused with Ron, he’s a good poster here (hi, Ron!).
Your iPad is right, Rulo is not a legitimate name. Just a silly old nickname. It means “curl” – curly hair here, see.
Rulo – you’re too gracious. I hardly think JT confused us based upon similar content & intellect. Most likely, an auto-correct feature, where he typed in Rulo, and it defaulted to Ron.
I’ll take the compliment anyhow though. Thanks. I owe you a long correspondence and promise to get to it soon thru another channel.
I’m with you on this one – trying to sort out all sides, using as many disparate sources as possible, but haven’t come to a real crystallization yet. May require a long discussion over dinner to try and suss it out.
Until then, give my best to the Unruly Farmer. Hope she doesn’t mind, but that moniker may stick with me. I think.
Hope all’s well on the farm. Talk soon, my friend.
JTin: the gentlemen you named would be very happy to kick of a limited nuclear exchange just to keep themselves in power and hide their criminal activities concerning Covid.
Supposedly Zelensky is meeting with Putin today in Belarus to negotiate an end to this.
It is no secret that Russia is trying to minimize causalities, it is announced policy.
And not just civilian casualties, they have announced that any Ukrainian soldier who lays down his arms will be treated well and released to his family after the war. Putin gave a speech directed towards the UKR conscripts.
The lying US media told us that 13 soldiers at Snake Island told the Russians “Fuck Putin” and the Russians killed the all.
Actually, there were 86 soldiers, they surrendered and the Russians fed them and let them call their families to tell them they will be released after the war.
It is the fanatical Azoz Battalion the Russians are after, as well as the nazis that burned 48 people alive in Odessa on May 2, 2014.
The announced goals are to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.
We don’t have to speculate about more fanciful reasons.
Actually, there were 86 soldiers, they surrendered and the Russians fed them
============
…and even gave them ice cream for dessert, chocolate, I think.
They gave them borscht and lard, is what I heard.
It doesn’t sound that appetizing to me, but that might be cultural bigotry on my part.
I agree, Rulo. The lack of full commitment of Russian forces suggests limited objectives. He’d be mad to take over the whole of Ukraine which is a big place, full of people who hate Russians and a massive economic basketcase. All he needs is to secure the pro-Russian regions (Donbas, Lughansk), destroy the Ukrainian military capability (including all the western hardware we’ve been sending them) and then pull back, keeping a friendly Eastern Ukraine as a buffer zone. Effecting a regime change would be a bonus point too to stop the same thing happening again in 5 years time.
JT-
Here is some reading for you:
https://gjia.georgetown.edu/2019/12/12/russias-hypersonic-weapons/
https://www.19fortyfive.com/2021/08/russias-hypersonic-weapons-arsenal-all-four-platforms-explained/
The basic thinking is that hypersonic cruise missile speeds make detection, tracking, engagement, and destruction much harder for the defender.
Note that the US has no hypersonic cruise missiles. Heck, the US doesn’t even have supersonic cruise missiles at present.
Also, ballistic missiles are hypersonic, but their flight path is much different than a cruise missile.
So, yer saying we’re at a deficit. That’s seems ominous to me.
“We” aren’t at a defict, JTin. The US MIC is. They don’t represent us.
Deficit!
Damn straight Hereward!
As Eisenhower said,
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. […] Is there no other way the world may live?”

” I thought Russia had hypersonic missiles that we can’t match”
JMD,
US, for all it’s faults, remains state of the art when it comes to weaponry. We have been developing hypersonic weapons for decades…the Russians, not so much, and those which might be deployed are not far from poorly tested prototypes. Nuclear propulsion? We were testing that concept in the 1950;s.
You were unaware of the F-117’s until their use in the Gulf War.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Range_Hypersonic_Weapon
So, yer saying we’re not at a deficit. Maybe we have an advantage?
JMD,
Don’t know, but I’m not concerned with Russia’s claims.
From your wiki link:
“The missile is planned to enter service with the Army in 2023.”
As of today, the US has no hypersonic capability in service.
The Serbs figured out how to shoot down the F-117 in the ’90s:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown
The Russians and Chinese have been working on anti-stealth radar for years now:
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/chinas-new-anti-stealth-radar-could-mean-big-trouble-americas-f-22-raptor-118221
To me, a lot of this is conjecture. Until there is a real conflict, with real shooting, we common folk cannot know.. These capabilities and attributes are secret.
While I am vehemently against our (the US) defense establishment, we do need a national defense.
Even if we did the right thing and left other countries alone, we cannot assume that other large powers would leave us alone. So we need the military.
That said, the US has bet trillions on stealth technology, the F35 and F22. If the Chinese find a back door to render our “invisible” F22/F35 visible, or negate the F35 ability to locate, target, and destroy an enemy aircraft before the enemy is even aware of the F35, we are done.
The French bet on the Maginot Line. The Germans went around it. I have a sense history may repeat…
I will never forget the time the media showed a US soldier sent to the US border to stop the invasion saying, “I didn’t join the military to stop refugees from coming over the border”.
You didn’t?
What else should a military be for, if not to protect the borders?
Oh, that’s right. To destroy other countries, kill their people and take their oil.
Just so. We have no Department of Defense at all, just a Department of Offense. It is against the Law for the military to defend our borders. When Trump made some special provision to send the National Guard down there, I had a funny feeling. Then I remembered: Obama had done the same thing. Unarmed, just thousands of guys hanging around for a few weeks both times. A ridiculous stunt in both cases.
The Wikipedia entry lists either 2023 “planned” deployment or Hopeful testing (Dark Eagle) sometime in 2022.
Russia has a very narrow window of opportunity to sort out security. A Dark Eagle battery in Ukraine could reach Moscow in 5 minutes — according to Putin.
Perhaps the deployed Russian hypersonics are “not far from poorly tested prototypes” but to quote Dirty Harry, “do you feel lucky?”
I have yet to read a coherent rebuttal to the concept of indivisible security, which was central to the Russian argument.
On a lighter note my wife watched a movie last night depicting Tom Hanks as a survivor of a coronal mass ejection that destroys the ozone layer and fatally irradiates the earth. Turns out there have been some near misses lately, so we should keep the recent unpleasantness in East Europe in cosmic perspective. Seems to me that one of the Hopi worlds ended with such and they went underground and were cared for by the ant people. Time to dust off those early 60’s bomb shelters.
Be sure to wear a mask and social distance!
FEMA issued advice for what to do after nuclear war and it includes washing your hands, but not with sanitizer, 6 foot social distancing and masks for everyone over 2 years old.
https://www.ready.gov/nuclear-explosion
Charlie Mansion was trying to find the opening to the underground world. It’s got to be there, he just wasn’t worthy to find it.
Jarek,
Say what you will about Manson…he probably got laid alot….
They MAY have a couple but not enough to actually fight with.
The Hypersonic weapons meme forgets that the US also has some.
Russia is good at selling their weapons propaganda just like the US and China as well.
I am sure everything will be made clear in Grandpappy Joe’s State of the Union address later this week. They have the entire Capital grounds fenced and barricaded off, so everything should be just peachy keen for POTUS to make his connection to his subjects.
Speaking of subjects, I remember a sneering 2018 speech in which Biden said that Republicans merely want to “rule” over the little people.
That goniff will say anything you ask him to. Somebody ought to Ron Burgundy his TelePrompTer.
I thought they already were!
Here’s my guess on keeping it simple. About 1 percent of the world population are full-blown psychopaths. 5 percent are sociopaths. It takes roughly 80 years or so for all that shit to float to the top, whether it’s running a gas station or running a country. Well, here we are, and all the shit has floated to the top. Got Fourth Turning anyone? It is well past time to flush the toilet. As far as prosecutions of the big, give me a fucking break. Still going to hell, hand basket still made in china, but now everything is falling apart.
Fourth Turning happening right on target. I would call this the Crisis.
Covid and BBB was the attempt to highjack the pattern but the world doesn’t work that way.
And Turning rhymes with Burning. I don’t see how our society with its level of madness and hysteria can continue much longer. Something has to give.
steppingup,
I like it. Brutally accurate, and brief. Talk about Occam’s razor: your theory makes a lot of sense.
I would only add this: environmental degradation and resource depletion. We’ve been running out of everything for at least a hundred years, and now we’re almost out, seriously, no joking out. Mad scramble for what remains.
Pandemic or geopolitics, same result: less consumption at higher prices – and the ghost of a culling. C19+vaxx, war, and, if I’m reading the signs right (fertilizer shortages, expensive energy and overpopulation), famine.
That’s at least 3 of the 4 Horsemen.
You will own nothing and be happy…..It’s always about resources, that’s what makes fiat money so enticing. Thin air money to buy real stuff. This is what happens when there is too many people and not enough stuff. It was never enough for them to have it all, you have to have less then nothing. Hence DEBT. Now, the world is finally saturated in debt, can’t take on anymore, and so it’s time to start the culling. Disease, War and Famine just to name a few…
My fully jabbed kid brother just called and asked “How do ya like yer boy, Vlad, now?” I keep telling him I’m an anarchist, and that ALL politicians are scumbags. Go figure! He said Trump (my “boy” as well) is responsible for Putin’s actions, cuz he was “in Vlad’s pocket.” Sheesh!
He changed subjects and told me he’s having terrible health issues. I didn’t have the heart to connect them with the jabs. Good luck, bro.
I forgot to mention he also thinks people are way too hard on Sleepy Joe for his halting speech and delicious gaffes. After all, “he had to overcome a speech impediment” (a childhood stutter). Some people…
James;
Your take on the situation is completely backward. The aggressor is Russia, not Joe Biden’s handlers. How exactly would that work anyway? In order to cover up Biden’s decrepitude they talked Putin into starting a war? It was Russia who started the shelling of apartment buildings and the killing of civilians. So who exactly got him to invade Crimea? Obama? Corruption in the U.S. and Ukraine not withstanding, Putin does not occupy the high moral ground. Nuclear threats have come solely from him as have threats to Sweden and Finland. This morning’s headline reads, “Putin Puts Nuclear Forces on Alert”. This is not a localized problem. This is an attempt to overthrow the existing peaceful order that Europe has lived through since 1945 thanks in large part to NATO. We need to give Ukraine all the help it needs to stand up to this bully.
boy, somebody has been dutifully digesting all of Morning Joe, CNN, and the O’Donnell show, amongst others.
I present this poster as a poor victim of the MSM.
Seriously! Wow.
Pete,
For the last several days, I have been unable to access RT America on the Internets..
They blocked rt.com here. I can still reach it through the TOR browser. Then rt.com started putting some ddos protection hoops for us to jump through. The reporting from them seems more factual than reuters although they seem to republish reuters articles.
From some of his posts in the past, I actually think he is on the wrong blog. Maybe he came here via our host’s architectural interests.
Hopefully Zeke turned out OK.
Yes…but Putin is a monster. There are no good guys here. My hope is that the Oligarchs start fighting amongst themselves. Maybe this will collapse the EU economically. THAT would be a good thing? Maybe, but maybe it would further the World Economic Forum’s agenda. Remember Putin is a WEF protege too and as are most all the players in this. Cattle tagging the populace is far advanced in Russia.
Go watch some more TV. I think you missed a few propaganda points.
He missed where Putin is *gasp* “Openly defying the Global New world Order!”
Jeez, zekesdad…!
Don’t you know how the world works through the CFN prism?
Take objective reality, turn it upside down, concoct a weird, half-arsed theory to explain this perspective, add a good heapin’ helpin’ of confirmation bias et voilà! – brand-spankin’ new conspiracy theory delivered for the consumption of the hungry masses.
C’mon Redneck… tell us more about conspiracy theory. The Kennedys? “Remember the Maine”? Gulf of Tonkin? Epstein?
I remember a flick about the “conspiracy theories” about the “disappeared” under the Junta in Argentina, where I grew up. It was called “La Historia Oficial”. Do you believe the official history? Do you believe nobody was disappeared, because the papers said so, and that’s that? Don’t you think your view is rather limited and leaves a lot out?
Rulo
I certainly believe that shit happens, but I can’t subscribe to the position taken around here, that everything is a lie and therefore the opposite is true. Fuckin’ nuts.
just wait a few years until the “shit that’s happened” is no longer moving the world.
just don’t dare recognize it *while* its moving the world.
your theory – did i miss anything?
Every week, something you’ve called tinfoil hat and nuts is proven to be true.
Especially this week! See all Night Owl’s posts below.
You’ve been made 100% irrelevant.
Your friendly pep talk from the Atlantic Council and CNN interviewee.
The SOTU will be right out of the Cold War playbook. Forget the man behind the curtain, because the “Russian aggressor” is out to get you, type of bullshit.
You will hear a lot of these keywords (and/or very similar keywords): Unity. Freedom. Security. Threat. Guarantee. Rising.
It’d be a good drinking game for anybody so disposed.
Break out the Russin vodka and caviar for the SOTU entertainment!
I wonder if he will deal with his ‘dark winter for the unvaccinated’ predictions.
Here it is, just weeks to go, and I’d say it’s been darker for the vaccinated, overall.
He will tell Americans they should still not gather with their loved one to celebrate Easter, unless everyone is tested and triple masked. You will not be able to afford that ham and egg brunch because their prices are all through the roof. It will be a very wet and boggy spring for the unvaxxed.
Maybe he’ll come clean and talk about the Dark Spring for the Spike Proteined
it would all be simpler if about 15 hecklers could be voted from our ranks to attend…
Excellent candidate for SOTU bingo. Get those cards ready and we can compare results.
I was thinking about picking the word “Anyway” or “Look”, but I might wake up wrecked, with my mouth tasting like a Balkan cabinet meeting . . . sort of how I felt the morning after the Biden/Palin debate, when I’d picked “also”.
good gut laugh, i do like the way you put things.
Hahahahaha!
Don’t forget ”democracy” and ”God bless America”.
Drink whenever he says ‘New World Order’
Earlier, I saw two posts online: photos of a church lit up in blue and yellow in solidarity with Ukrainians, and a denunciation of Evo Morales’ support for Putin and the Russian invasion. I stand by those posts, but I’m not 100% comfortable with either.
RE: the lit up church, I am just uncomfortable with flag imagery in wartime. Flags are used to promote the nationalism that divides us into “us against them.” I think here, the lighting up of buildings makes sense – the national colors are a useful symbol for the people in a country under attack. It’s a pro-peace gesture, not a nationalistic or anti-Russian gesture. That’s why I stand by it.
And part of my discomfort with flags gets at the other thing: I criticized Evo and anyone who would be ideologically blinded to the wrongness of the Russian invasion. But I also said “which side are you on?”, which would seem to contribute to the kind of divisions I mentioned above. I hope I was clear that the sides I referred to were not left or right, or Ukraine or Russia, but War or No War. Violence or nonviolence. What I do NOT want to do is develop ideological blinders of my own.
Ideology is both present and worthy of analysis in this conflict, and makes it a mixed-up mess. You’ve got leftist anti-Western/NATO/US types like Evo supporting Putin, and also right-wing isolationist/nationalist types like Trump supporting him. And the forces at play on the Ukrainian side are a mixed bag, too. It’s easy to say that Putin’s claims to be “denazifying” Ukraine are absurd, as are his suggestions that the Jewish Zelensky is a Nazi. But let’s not pretend the idea has zero basis: There ARE neo-Nazi nationalist groups active in the Donbas, in the Ukrainian military, and they participated in the Euromaidan revolution. It’s a real problem in Ukraine. At the same time, they aren’t most Ukrainians, and there is a legitimate pro-Europe, pro-democracy sentiment among millions of Ukrainians who are not at all right-wing extremists.
Similarly, Putin has greatly exaggerated his history-based case for Russian control of all or part of Ukraine. But there is a complicated history there – it’s not as simple as many in the US government or the press would have us believe. The point, though, is that that doesn’t actually matter – to debate it is to accept Putin’s framing, as if any of that history could justify his current course of action. Today, Ukraine is a sovereign country. It is diplomatically recognized, even by Russia. If international law means anything, Russia’s invasion must be condemned and resisted.
Basically, the point here is that I believe in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and condemnation of Russia’s invasion, but I’m also aware that, especially from a distance, that can too easily fall into lazy, simplistic black-and-white thinking. I’ve said before “I hope the “progressives” in the US and elsewhere who instinctively support leaders like Morales, Ortega, and Maduro take a good hard look at what’s happening in Ukraine right now, and perhaps begin to question the ideological lens through which they view the globe.” But I also realize how easily solidarity with Ukrainians and opposition to Putin’s invasion can translate into kneejerk support for the Ukrainian government, and then by extension other Ukrainian nationalist groups, NATO, etc., and dismissing the legitimate concerns of Putin, Russia, and some of the Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas.
Most of us don’t know a whole lot about that part of the world. Journalists can leave out key complexities and pepper reporting with misleading editorializing, and that translates into popular sentiment that in turn influences what our leaders feel they can or should do. Biden and Western leaders could take NATO expansion to Ukraine off the table, but they don’t. If this thing drags on, they may be pushed to support/fund/arm resistance groups including right-wing nationalists.
Evo and Trump may be guided by dangerous concoctions of personal interest and twisted ideology. But all of us can fall into the same trap in different ways. I’m for peace and against war. Beyond that, I’m trying to remain cautious and keep getting better informed. I’m very wary of opposition to the Russian invasion translating into support for political forces we don’t understand.
Heaven forbid someone wave the Old Glory of the American Flag though, otherwise they will be considered oppressive and racist. Are people still working on submitting a newly revised version of the US flag composed of multiple colors and patterns? I thought that was all big in the news a few years back.
Well, we already have the ‘Pride’ flag as a replacement for the American flag, Cowbell. All that’s necessary is the final go ahead, which should come right after Heels Up gets sworn in.
They will probably make it a hate crime to burn a pride flag in the streets, as opposed to those burning the American flag under the guise of freedom of speech……
Re: the pride flag, have you seen how the trans/CRT nutters wrecked it? But it is hilarious. They have their colors in the shape of an arrow, overlapping the LGB part of the flag, as if it’s being paved over.
Funny stuff.
Once can never be woke enough.
You say you support peace instead of war. You mean the kind of peace the Ukraine has been inflicting on the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk for the past 8 years? The kind of peace based on ignoring international agreements? (The Minsk Accords.) “If international law means anything…”
You stand in solidarity with the people of the Ukraine against the Russian invasion, but not with the people of the Donbass against the Ukrainian invasion?
I’m not following your logic.
The PMC get to choose who gets their sympathy. Yemen, no. Myanmar, no. Any place in Africa, no. South America – only if we have a puppet ruler installed.
And let’s all recall good ol’ Samantha Power and her “Responsibility 2 Protect” claims.
When the US goes into Libya with NATO to “protect” Libyans from that evil Qaddafi, that’s GOOD! (Even though their actions turned the richest most progressive nation in Africa into a failed slave/human trafficking state).
But when Putin goes literally next door with a “Responsibility 2 Protect” ethnic Russians from constant shellings and bombings by the Ukraine military against the 2015 MINSK Accords: BAD!!!
Samantha Power and Victoria Nuland are high up in the Biden administration. And guess who the State Department spokes person was for “Fuck the EU! Nuland” during the Maidan color revolution in 2014?! Drum roll please…..
Jen “Peppermint Patty” Psaki!
I like that your comment recognizes that every thing is not in black and white.
Q: “…every thing is not in black and white.”
===========
Should be not every thing is in black and white.
🙂
I interpreted Putin’s speech differently.
He didn’t talk about Ukraine being part of Russia as an excuse to occupy it. He talked about that to show that Russians and Ukrainians are the same people and have familial ties. (Not western Ukraine, of course. They used to be Polish).
And he never said that Zelensky was Jewish. That is a US media spin. Putin didn’t say that.
He talked about the nazis being put into power and into the military.
He talked about how the police in Odessa stood by as nazis burned 48 protesters to death. He said that they knew who burned those people alive and they were going to bring them to justice.
I am pro-peace also, but I refuse to ignore 8 years of war on Donbass and scream about Russia invading Ukraine to put a stop to that war.
The coverage of the Ukraine invasion has pushed all that out of the news cycle, if you haven’t noticed.
Do you know what “at hand” means?
Interesting to watch conservative media outlets take sides on this new 24/7 story. Citizen’s Free Press, for example, is now apparently in lockstep with “Joe Biden” on the Ukraine policy. Aren’t they fierce critics of “Joe Biden”? Overheard a ‘doctor’ on Fox News giving her expert opinion that Putin’s face is puffy which means he’s likely on anti-psychotic medicine.
That’s been the latest thing in medicine, diagnosing patients you’ve never laid a hand on.
It could be he just had one of those “procedures”, like Kamala Harris did just before she took office, knowing that he was going to be on camera a lot.
He’s not a young man.
The Ukraine propaganda serves to split US society further.
Follow the $$ and the objective…

TaxDonkey: I noticed that too on CFP. It didn’t register at first because they are so anti-democrat. Oh, well. Another one bites the dust!
It infuriated me to see that Dr. John Campbell interviewed some Russian artist about Putin’s insanity.
Dr. Campbell usually talks about covid.
I left a comment asking him when he is going to discuss the mental health of those who ordered the invasion of Iraq or Syria or Yemen.
Odd that the psycopaths who destroy entire countries and their infrastructures are considered rational, but Putin must be insane.
Exactly. I don’t remember any media criticism about the Iraq, Afghan, Libya, Syria etc…. wars. Where were all the psychiatrists on MSM analyzing President Cheney’s mental status?
Does anybody have a good idea why Europe, particularly Germany, is working feverishly to commit national suicide. They’ve decommissioned a huge percent of their nuclear power and now using every means at their disposal to persuade Russia to shut off their gas supply. Is this the new model of governance by Schwab that citizens around the world can look forward to?
In the future there will be no nation states, just one big borderless world filled with happy people holding hands and singing kumbaya.
We could be tribal factions, kind of like on the Walking Dead.
Freezing or roasting to death in the ever Changing weather conditions.
Jim put it nicely “Cut off your nose to spite your face”.
Germany’s coal fired plants are being closed, too, which doesn’t leave much to keep the lights on, industry running, and houses warm. Actually, I get the impression that this is a desired outcome of the powerful Greens inside Germany. Maybe Night Owl can weigh in on this, as he is our man on the scene.
There is nothing to weigh in on. The Green cult of Greta Thunfisch has no political positions worth discussing.
The Greens really are a largely academic suicide cult, despite their love for, “the science.”
Same energy as Jonestown.
Yes they are tcl, but they command the drivers seat in western nations right now, including the US.
if only that seat were forward of the front bumper…
A good way of putting it, Third.
Particularly the German breed. I was once a Green, but I was not a cultist.
Suicide/annihilation is necessary, the neoliberals believe, in order for rebirth to take place.
Rebirth is the New World Order.

The only saving grace is that their global digital control grid cannot run on their ideal green grid.
Heck, solar and wind are so limited they cannot generate enough power to produce the concrete and metallic components required to repair existing or install new solar and wind farms.
Clown world!
Total clown world. They live in a contrived fantasy. Not gonna be pretty when they realize it.
The Germans just chose the nut job who runs Greenpeace as their…secretary of state. They are truly lost.
Woke
You answered your own question.
TD: Countries will willingly destroy themselves for ideology. Americans don’t realize how deep the Green psychosis is in Germany. They will happily turn of all the lights if it makes them carbon neutral. And the Germans are so pathetic, they will accept it.
This might be a windfall for American natural gas suppliers who will ramp up production for western Europe. Russian gas supplies for Europe are done for says Michael Hudson.
Where does Greta Thunburg stand on the Russian aggression towards the Ukraine? She is probably freaking out and trying to cast shame on Putin for his actions.
Well, John Kerry stated that he hopes the war doesn’t detract from Putins Paris Accord Climate Commitments. He said that on the same day the Russian Energy Minister announced a deal to provide China with 100 million tons of coal, India 50 million tons, and an unspecified amount to Korea.
Well, Thank God at least one of the “elite” still remember what the key issue is here! As Jim once said about Kerry, he’s a haircut in search of a brain.
John Kerry, our climate czar, has stated that he is very concerned about Putin’s effect on the climate right now. He was able to dispatch this message in between flights on his solar-powered jet.
Biden isn’t the only senile nutter who should have been put in a home 10 years ago.
I thought that he surf-sailed between events, in a wet suit and tie.
I’m just not gonna be taking sides. It’s ALL OF THEM, for crying out loud! If I could talk to Russians, I could find plenty of agreement; same with Ukrainians. Why, oh why can’t we reveal the fucking truth and isolate the crooks who’ve brought us to this appalling state of affairs?!?
Because all of those who could and should be revealing the truth have been compromised by CIA etc.
One exception might be Durham.
“One exception might be Durham.” Still waiting. Not hopeful.
People have paid good money to eat linguini by candlelight.

There are people who eat spaghetti straight out of the refrigerator, but they don’t like to admit to it.
Steppenwolf touched on this theme:

Thunder down the hall
On your way to breakfast
You got to have it all
A plate of cold spaghetti
One day on the floor
Clean your chops and take time
To contemplate your stall

Okay, that was kind of funny. But the Franken & Davis show left me a bit dour.
Franken & Davis liked pedophilia humor an awful lot, if memory serves.
Poor Al Franken. He could never manage to reconcile his urges toward humor, politics, or relevance. Not even after he stole a Senate seat from Norm Coleman, and certainly not now.

Yep, apparently it is okay to do those kinds of things, and they are quickly forgotten about and brushed under the rug, if you are on the “right side (or left side) of history”.
I don’t know about brushed under the rug, he resigned from the Senate .
What we have is a kakistocracy fronting an oligarchic kleptocracy blindly supported by an intellectual aristocracy using flunkies for their mouthpieces.
JT, to clarify, what we have is a group of power brokers bent on controlling & killing 9/10th of the people in the west, by any means.

“Ukraine’s shelling and mortar attacks against the ethnic Russian population in the Donbas which, by the way, was carried out with US-gifted armaments. ”
Note 1: the U.S. Constitution forbids the U.S. from gifting armaments to foreign nations.
Art 1, Section 8 clearly states:
The Congress shall have power to …provide for the common defense and general welfare of the UNITED STATES.
Not Ukrainia or Polonia or Germania.
Note 2: the President has no constitutional authority to give away our weapons (which we paid for with our hard earned wages) to other countries such as Ukrania.
The Jo Jo Magoo cabal also gave away billions of dollars worth of weapons to the Afghanis last May.
Don’t worry, it’s all than more made up for with the grift that is paid out under the table to The Big Guy (and Cokehead Hunter).
It’ll come out in the wash.
Unfortunately for some, the Russians are forcing the issue of locating a new and improved ATM someplace other than on their border.
My guess is, Hunter’s paintings are part of the cover-up of the money laundering with regards to one of their shady foreign deals.
Thanks for today’s article, James. Yet again, you hit it out of the park. Great overview of the contrived and corrupt state of things.
Really nailed it re: the mass formation progression: TDS > Russiagate > Covid19 > Ukraine “crisis”
In any case, I’m just sitting back and watching the show, from governors demanding liquor stores dump Russian vodka to the usual celebrities making huge asses of themselves. Not to mention the delicious liberal tears and tantrums caught on TikTok.
What a clown show.
It’s about as accurate a picture of what is going on, as we are going to get.

TaxD,
a likely chain of events, sadly. Is this all manufactured? Are we unwilling players in a performance? Are the results fixed before the game starts?
I have a hard time visualizing the Davos crew as these super omnipotent mythical creatures that have every leader in every country under full mind control. It kind of looks to me like Putin is rejecting subjugation by the New World Order crew, but what do I know. Maybe Putin’s got a red phone that links directly to Klaus Schwab to get his marching orders.
It’s the kind of mind control that nearly always keeps mouths firmly shut for a very long time. They have the recordings and photos. Epstein Island.
Might well be. The assholes in charge ARE that crazy.
Feces to the face: this pretty much sums up everything currently off the rails with our society. I am surprised they have made video of this available, considering that the perp is Black. I am sure he did it to lash out against his oppression though. If he was wearing a mask it would at least have been harder to positively identify him.

Zelensky arguing for immediate EU membership; EU to take up debate:
https://www.oann.com/eus-michel-debate-on-ukraine-eu-membership-will-be-held/
Rumors flying that Ukraine has applied for NATO membership.
Well this aught to really make the Ruskies happy. Talk about poking that bear with a stick…. Putin is getting backed into a corner and I feel like he should do whatever it takes to save face.
NATO and the EU have criteria for membership. I’m sure Ukraine doesn’t even come close to fulfilling these requirements.
Among the criteria for NATO membership are: “…stable democratic systems, pursue the peaceful settlement of territorial and ethnic disputes, have good relations with their neighbors, show commitment to the rule of law and human rights…” Does that sound like Ukraine?
But, like “Covid” the “Russian Invasion of Ukraine” is an emergency, so all rules and standard procedure must be cast aside. Trust the experts.
Bb-
No, Ukraine certainly doesn’t meet those criteria.
At this point, I don’t think the lunatics running the West care.
They’ll put together some word salad rationalizing Ukraine’s immediate admission into NATO in response to, “…Russia’s unprovoked, illegal attach,” for the purpose of, “…upholding Western democratic values and freedoms.”
After Ukraine is signed sealed and delivered, they’ll get to work on coming up with the rationalizations for invoking Article V.
Well, the EU let bankrupt Greece in BB. Exceptions can be made and waivers can be granted.
“bankrupts Greece” isn’t that the one about GSax advising them to take choice A while betting against it on the side, essentially benefiting by using choice B?
Stopping the Ukies joining NATO was why Putin invaded. So doubling down on that will appease him? Jeez, these idiots seem to want a nuclear winter. Can Vlad just bomb DC and get it over with so we can all get back to what used to be called normality?
A nuclear winter will fix that whole climate change thingy.
But I agree that if the Russians bombed Washington, DC the rest of the country would not hold it against them.
Michael Hudson’s post on the reason for the Ukraine fiasco over on the Saker blog this morning is a must read.

*************
America’s three oligarchies in control of U.S. foreign policy
It is more realistic to view U.S. economic and foreign policy in terms of the military-industrial complex, the oil and gas (and mining) complex, and the banking and real estate complex than in terms of the political policy of Republicans and Democrats. The key senators and congressional representatives do not represent their states and districts as much as the economic and financial interests of their major political campaign contributors. A Venn diagram would show that in today’s post-Citizens United world, U.S. politicians represent their campaign contributors, not voters. And these contributors fall basically into three main blocs.
Three main oligarchic groups that have bought control of the Senate and Congress to put their own policy makers in the State Department and Defense Department.
First is the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) – arms manufacturers such as Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed-Martin, have broadly diversified their factories and employment in nearly every state, and especially in the Congressional districts where key Congressional committee heads are elected. Their economic base is monopoly rent, obtained above all from their arms sales to NATO, to Near Eastern oil exporters and to other countries with a balance-of-payments surplus. Stocks for these companies soared immediately upon news of the Russian attack, leading a two-day stock-market surge as investors recognized that war in a world of cost-plus “Pentagon capitalism” (as Seymour Melman described it) will provide a guaranteed national-security umbrella for monopoly profits for war industries. Senators and Congressional representatives from California and Washington traditionally have represented the MIC, along with the solid pro-military South. The past week’s military escalation promises soaring arms sales to NATO and other U.S. allies, enriching the actual constituents of these politicians. Germany quickly agreed to raise is arms spending to over 2% of GDP.

FYI
Thanks, will remember to duck and cover beneath my desk as soon as I see the mushroom cloud in the distance. Should be about as effective as wearing a face diaper over my mouth, which I will be sure to do at time of the blast to protect me from breathing in any of the radiation.
Thanks FEMA!
That is some lame advice, for sure. I’m a post-nuclear baby, myself. Dad was in the 5/5/55 test shot from which footage of houses getting blasted still plays today. He was in an armored personnel carrier so close to the blast that he said he threw open the hatch only to see that he was deep within the mushroom cloud, itself. Then he had to attack a hill even closer to ground zero.
I’m surprised that he lived to 85 and never developed cancer. He stood within yards of the melting detonation tower. He could see dribbles of molten metal.
wow. In the heart of History, your dad.
an amazing story.
It was an amazing story, as he told it. He said the paint was scorched off of his tank and the joshua trees behind him were burning like torches. Also, that it was extremely quiet after the roar died away . . . because all the bugs and birds were dead. That was in Area 1. Then his unit rumbled back to Barstow, California, and got mustard-gassed along the way. He said that having to wear masks and rubber suits through the Mojave Desert was the worst experience of the day.
Mom watched the blast that morning on the Today Show.
It’s astounding that he lived to be 85!
What an incredible story, thanks for sharing.
” will remember to duck and cover beneath my desk as soon as I see the mushroom cloud in the distance. ” The time to “duck and cover” is whenever you see a bright flash outside the window. The point of that is to save you from a blizzard of glass shredding your tender parts, and has nil to do with protecting you from radiation. A Russian schoolteacher remembered that instruction 9 years ago at the instant when the Chelyabinski meteor exploded overhead. She got her students to duck and cover, and none was injured from flying debris.
LOL! Far cry from the 50’s and 60’s, eh? The mantra now is “You’re FOOKED no matter what!”
That is such a worthless, cut-and-paste publication. How much did the government pay that federal drone to generate that babble.
Agonizing Bitch Kathy Cuomo has picked the day after Biden’s speech as the day children can be freed from wearing a silly rag on their faces in New York’s schools.
Today and tomorrow they will still kill their teachers just by breathing.
My bet is that Biden in this SOTU address will declare victory over the COVID crisis. As a result, all mandates will be relaxed soon after this speech and he will be given all the credit for doing everything possible to save us from this scourge. Blue wave to follow in midterm election, using snippets of this speech as political propaganda.
Dr. Fauxi to be canonized, free to terrorize the country again in the next plandemic.
Ukr’s weapons are not “meager” as Mr K states. Place is full of them. Much aging Soviet gear, nuclear facilities that could be reconverted to weapons grade (which may be the real casus belli. Russia invaded right after that statement, having tolerated abuses against their compatriots in the separatists areas for years), and of course much new shiny American and European gear, both already there and being used (antitank weapons apparently causing much damage to Russian armor), and arriving daily through an extended NATO border, on credit, from UK, Germany and the US.
There’s been talk of bioweapons development there as well (Ukr is the new Wuhan?), including material about Russian-specific DNA samples collected to, I’d assume, work on a DNA-specific virus or pathogen. That’s another possible casus belli.
Durham and the “doctor’s resistance” led by Malone will unmask the evil players, prosecutions will follow, jail, lamp post justice – strongly disagree, but I appreciate the optimism.
We have entered a state of global war. Hot or cold, war will be a reality for the foreseeable future. Say what you will about Putin & his circle, but low iq is not what they’re known for. Intellectually, they’re heavyweights. I don’t think they’d take the major decision of stirring the wasp nest without careful consideration and a long-term plan. Ergo, war for a while, shortages, inflation, energy crisis, political upheaval, a changing world order. Ergo again, no attention span to spare on Hillary’s shenanigans from what seem ages ago, voting issues, pharma intricacies. The US population’s concentration and intelligence, doubtful at the best of times, will have enough on the plate to care about any of this, and the politicians will take note. The simple message is the tool of the future: “We’re at war with Eurasia. We’ve always been at war with Eurasia”.
Responding to another poster, I mentioned some of the elements the Russians have in their arsenal and haven’t used yet: better troops and weapons than we’ve seen so far, air supremacy that’s not being used to the hilt, cutting off energy exports, opening new fronts in proxy nations like Venezuela or Syria. I’d add accurate and damaging intelligence about global elites, incl US politicians, corporations and pharma, which they’ll dole out – or not – drop by drop at their convenience.
But here’s the rub: they could publish all they have on, say, Hunter, and we still would not know what to believe. Fake? Deep fake? Part truth? What percentage? Cui bono? How can you tell propaganda from counterpropaganda if there’s no independent journalism or politics?
That’s the problem of the ascent of the computer, the deluge of information and noise, the algorithm, the AI and all the other “improvements” of the last few decades: reality is not reality anymore. The map is not the territory. The screens say one, plus a thousand things, but reality is none of those 1,001 things. Until, as Mr K always says, reality asserts itself beyond doubt, when the virtual cannot longer be sustained. In that I agree with him. It will be painful, but liberating, to go from 1,001 realities to just one.
Seven U.S. bioweapon labs of 15 have been 100% destroyed by thermal warheads. The heat treatment to kill whatever lethal pathogenic squirmies they were concocting therein.
The U.S. has those labs ringing the Russian Federation, Georgia is a hotspot for them for one.
I’ve been following this intrepid woman reporter for at least five years. Others should too.

Thank you Alaskan. Will check it out. Part of this Brave New World is the new warfare of the bioweapon.
Covid was the opening salvo. Brace for more.
What assholes! That blog is blood-curdling.
Agree. The next one is gonna be a real doozy. This was just warm-up.
I don’t see Putin pulling his Latin American “allies” (Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua) into this. Seems to me he is trying to keep Russia’s actions focused on the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk – and the demolition of the prostituted landmass “identifying as” Ukraine. No point in unnecessarily widening the war. Calling on Latin American allies will only cause more problems for them – and for Russia as the Wurlitzer starts spinning: “World War!!”
What I would like to see – but don’t expect to see – is the Ukraine that emerges from this “reset” to investigate corruption of recent Ukrainian governments. In particular, I’d like to see indictments against the Bidens and their flunkies. Not gonna happen. Those sonsofbitches will go to their graves never having been punished for even one of their crimes. A lifetime of crime. A dynasty of crime.
No punishment – ever.
Bird,
I didn’t say they will – I said they could.
And yes, they have a limited goal, a definite chess victory re. Ukr, but if things don’t work out as expected and complications arise, why, they certainly could stir up trouble from Uncle Sam’s backyard. Same with Syria, lots of US targets there.
Right now they are saying they’ll hold those supplying weapons to Ukr “responsible” and talking about bombing groups tracking those shipments.
Huge potential for a fuckup anytime. My impression is the Rus are making a stand here. New rules. You don’t get to push us around anymore.
I think the Russians will be finished in the Ukraine long before Drag Queen Story Hour can be rounded up and loaded onto the Lolita Express for a first-class trip to the Borderlands to stop them.
If the war expands, it will be because we decided to expand it. Pour more fuel on the Syrian dumpster fire? Another coup attempt in Kazakhstan? Maybe a false flag in Lithuania? “Massacre” in “Ukraine”? Or maybe pull the plug on the grid over here? (The last one is the false flag I have been predicting.)
Ah yes, and our teetering economy and its structure such as it is, another fine mess from which to preclude our attentions. This Gang has grown increasingly desperate to pawn off its self-generated fuckery onto the Other, a time-*honored* escape mechanism. Things seem to be stacking up ever-higher on a foundation of bullshit slurry; an ailment guaranteed when the concrete is mixed with sub-par materials.
Livin’ the Dream, here in the courtyard at the base of the Tower of Babel. Who could have seen this one coming? (Snrk, snrk, snrk…)
Alaskan,
that’s the other one. Mr K mentions cutting the nose to spite the face re. SWIFT.
A Western economic dominance is not a given. Creating Euro and Dollars out of thin air forever, not possible. Stocks, crypto and housing bubbles can only absorb so much before they pop – and they were bloated before his new calamitous war.
“Punish” Russia by kicking them out of SWIFT? What a joke. All you’ll be doing is putting the final nail in the coffin of dollar dominance as the world’s default currency.
Important world powers, such as China, Brazil and India, have been careful not to antagonize Russia. They’ll use different means to process commerce if necessary, but in a world of dwindling resources, they figured they cannot afford to join the West in this. The Russians know it and have learned to live with sanctions win the past. They’ll live with this too, and the US would have shot itself in the foot if they push much harder along these lines. Note so far only a few banks have been shut off, not the entire Russian economy. The financial Viziers as K calls them are worried. This could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
China leads a parallel SWIFT called CIPS, and Russia has 23 banks involved. Europe, I think, has over 150 involved. Besides, can’t a bankster in Deutschland simply call a counterpart in Russia on a cellphone and effect whatever transaction they want?
Window dressing. Legerdemain.
50% of Russia’s imports come from China, so China isn’t going to go along with the sanctimonious sanctions lark.
One thing I’ll say, Russians and Ukrainians look a lot alike. And I’ve seen photos of Ukrainian civilians in conversation with Russian soldiers, leading one to believe they speak the same language. This could be more like the situation in 1938 when Germany incorporated Austria into the Reich.
Geez, what is wrong with the next generation???

What are sims? I don’t see a video.
Like fake people in the virtual reality of a video game. The old computer game I used to play Sim City comes to mind. I would build up a fake city and then use bombs to destroy it.
If we all live in a matrix, maybe that is what is happening right now in a game of Sim City on a cosmic scale.
I particularly liked this line from today’s essay:
EU members know that they can’t take a pass on Russian oil and natgas, unless they want to eat cold bratwurst and linguini in the dark.
Yeah, that was a good line. But given current conditions of inflation and shortages, whether the food is cold or not, people should just be happy to have any edible food at all, period.
Being solution oriented, it’s hard to know where to even start. But one thing is certain, we need to secure the vote. We could have 90% of the people thinking like we do, but unless their vote is counted … If it has to hand counted paper ballots with an ink thumbprint, so be it. “Oh but the cost!” No excuse. Third world countries can afford it. Volunteers from all parties could run it and count it. Hell, I’d volunteer!
The other crucial issue is to establish a free press. Mr K would know more about how that could come about. I know a couple of laws that would need to be changed – the one allowing for monopolies to control the press, and the one saying that all sides of a story do not need to be presented.
It goes without saying, none of this can happen if the 2nd amendment is overturned.
Meanwhile for good info on the situation in Ukraine, check out The Duran: https://www.bitchute.com/video/1mbgjjEnbKc/

I agree with your solutions (paper ballots, free press), but think that ship has sailed. Too late now.

Indeed, Nigel. I wasn’t talking surrender. I was being realistic. I’m in the fight knowing the odds are almost impossible and I’m already dead. But I’m in the fight nevertheless.
Yup, that’s where we are today. Talk of turning this around is like an arm-wrestler with the hairs of his wrist touching the table protesting, “I ain’t beat!”
We are beaten – but every time they attempt to throw one of us into the incinerator – BOOM! One of us gone, a few of them gone.
Flying monkeys – they’re what’s for dinner.
BB,
your arm wrestler refusing defeat reminded me of this:

“One thing established for sure as fact: the “Joe Biden” family received plenty of cash off that grift wagon, and those “handlers” have neatly ring-fenced it from official scrutiny.”
Been thinking about that a lot since the start of the invasion. I wonder,after Putin clears the dust,what evidence of Biden’s perfidy in the form of financial records and Ukrainians he may present to us back home. Think on this,the man who’s finger is on the nuclear button may be persuaded to go for broke rather than trade in his Brooks Brother suit for an orange one.

Thinness was/is not marketed to blk females in the way it is to white females. White females have the luxury of the choice of appearing small and weak because their value as white women means they will be protected and cared for by white men.

Use duck duck go for searches so you can SEE the truth.
Long ago, around the ninth century, Ukraine was Russia, then Kievan Rus. Let’s take a big leap into the 21st century.
The West couldn’t abide by Yanukovych’s decision not to turn in their direction back in 2013-2014. That was unacceptable, so plans leading to the Maidan Revolution were set in place to remove this leader elected by the voters.
The US spent 5 billion dollars to destabilize the nation and change the regime. Victoria Nuland, who was then US assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia, stated that the US not only spent billions of dollars but also expended five years’ worth of hard work to ‘build democratic skills and institutions’ in Ukraine.
Washington supported a coup against a legitimate government, trying to diminish Russian influence and to expand its own global reach. Again, the US media shaped the narrative, calling the insurgents brave freedom fighters which was only partly true at best.
Putin is correct in his reference to Nazis. Many of these so called ‘freedom fighters’ were members of the Svoboda Party, one of whose leaders was the founder of the Joseph Goebbels Political Research Center.
Senator McCain unfortunately found himself on stage with Svoboda leader Oleh Tyahnybok while visiting Ukraine in December 2013. Victoria Nuland collaborated with Tyahnybok in planning the revolution. In leaked phone conversations she was wondering what to do with him later on. Keep him ‘on the outside’ she said, ‘but in close consultation with the new US approved president.’
Putin has been pushed too far and is responding to incessant US intervention and subterfuge. Could he now somehow assimilate defeat and humiliation in this situation? Biden said that taking Putin out is an option. Can you blame Putin for giving a nod to nukes? I can’t.
The US likes to meddle too much is world affairs that should not concern them. Just watch, they will take out Putin and someone new will come in. This will turn out to be even worse than what was originally there.
Or maybe this will result in the country of Russia breaking up into even more new nation states. So now instead of one large world power, we have dozens of new little countries to deal with, some led by petty dictators that will further have to be dealt with and removed.
Our leaders should keep in mind that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For those that love “the science”, this is a different kind of science, the science of politics and world affairs. Things almost never turn out as originally planned, oftentimes leading to even worse and more dire results.
Maybe they’re thinking a lot bigger. Get rid of Putin, foment unrest as usual, install a bunch of puppets and gradually take Russia over with all of its resources.
I would be totally impressed if they thought that far ahead for a total Russia takeover of its land, people, and resources.
MitchellC proposed that a few weeks ago.
He said that the US should go into Russia, kill all its people, then make money selling real estate to immigrants.
I assume he makes plans for the State Dept. or the Pentagon, with big ideas like that.
Frankly, I’m kind of surprised that hasn’t happened yet.
tucson, everything you wrote is factually accurate and true.
Yet it is very, very hard to figure out for most. Supressed info, massive propaganda, lots of distractions, and truly, very few are interested in knowing the truth.
Yanukovich was corrupt, yes. They all are. I mean Brandon & son are master grifters, on a whole other league, yet no coup.
The well informed know very well that the US has been engaged in regime change operations and wars for many decades now. And got away with it, except if you were one of the thousands of American grunts killed in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq of Afghanistan, or one of the millions killed after coups in Latin America, Asia, Africa and so on.
Looks like the end of an era. Pushback.
‘An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted’.
Arthur Miller
Well the Ukrainian faction that won out must loathe the Azovs and vice versa. I agree with the Azovs that Putin is blind on race, and doesn’t think White Russians are any more Russian than the Muslims or Central Asians. But at least he doesn’t loathe Whites like the New World Order does – and that most definitely includes Zelensky and Co.
Can you try and connect up the different circuits of your brain? Sometimes you are moderately pro-White. But all that seems to be forgotten when you talk about politics (like this issue) or sex (sex with Blacks is cool). It’s all connected, Tusc. So you must be too if you would See.
I had heard that Russia took in some white South African farmers as immigrants. Haven’t researched the details. Anyway, I’m pretty sure “Joe Biden” would not have done this.
“Ukraine is a manageable localized problem in a distant part of the world and Russia is going to manage it. The American crisis of confidence in its own operating system is something else.”
Do not understand the capacity for egotistical Grifters to take a manageable problem and turn it into a catastrophe. And in this case, all sides are egotistical Grifters.
To all Nations that are acting all self-righteous right now and pretending to be lily-white and without blame for the current state of World affairs…
A wise Master once said, “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
“Did ‘Joe Biden’s’ handlers actually want to start World War Three?”
They have been trying to start World War Three FOR YEARS. They have been laying the groundwork for decades. And the wicked pathology behind this thinking has lasted for eons.
“The scant news coming out of Ukraine is so infected with propaganda that it’s impossible to know exactly what’s going on there these early days of the Russian invasion.”
So the news coming out now is just like the ‘news’ we all get all the time?
“There are no real functioning international news agencies anymore.”
Those who write and hand out the mass State corporate media news stories every day to all the mass State corporate media outlets would want to differ with you on this. They are functioning quite normally.
“These are the folks who worked tirelessly to drive America insane since 2016 and now they’re capping their ‘hat-trick’ of mind-fuckery with the specter of World War Three.”
It’s not a bug but a default function.
“… has awakened to the apparent reality that mass vaccination is killing off a lot of people before their time.”
Why no, it COULDN’T be ‘The Vax!’ It’s STRESS due to all the worry over the Ukraine! Stress and worry is killing those people, not Big Pharma toxic concoctions! Doctor Death is having this narrative prepared for him right now.
We’re all stuck on a huge jumbo jet piloted by maniacs who shouldn’t even get a drivers permit while the cabin movie is showing scenes of utter destruction from some old horror movie. Problem is, today it’s not a movie and the pilot’s seat is being fought over by malformed humans who couldn’t pull a kid’s wagon properly without running it into a ditch.
And we’re getting tossed around the cabin and they won’t even let us have a damn bag of peanuts anymore.
“…malformed humans who couldn’t pull a kid’s wagon properly without running it into a ditch.”
Is this a red Radio Flyer wagon?
“And we’re getting tossed around the cabin and they won’t even let us have a damn bag of peanuts anymore.”

Madness abounds. It’s all sheer madness. Motherfuckers!
I guess we should all try to just get out of here and instead join the metaverse. Do you think there is a war going on in the metaverse? Are you taxed to oblivion on your hard earned waves in the metaverse? Are there any good women to be had in the metaverse?
You know what else is madness? The stock markets. I’m a neutral observer, not invested. Once in a while I look at Bloomberg or similar, and I see a pattern – up – drop – big rebound – drop – bigger rebound. For years!
Crashing real economy, pandemic, resource depletion, inflation, war, not to worry. Stocks always win!
I’ve come to the conclusion that every last human could be dead and the tickers would still be going up for some time, as long as the solar panels are connected to the algorithms that create digital money, and the algorithms that use it to “buy the dip”.

Hang on to ya bloomers folks, we about to get raped. This is all a diversion to put us in an emergency and so they can impose another false flag and put us in the throws of social credit. Thing is, these pigs that are in charge, globally, are about to hit full face with a full grown, in the best of his prime, ball sack hangin’ plum to the ground BISON… And I mean to tell ya it’s gonna hurt like a dog’s ass that has been rubbed raw with a corn cob & lit up with turpentine!! It’s gonna be bloody & a lot of us may not make it, but for the ones of us that are still here after the so called smoke clears, oh what a sight we gonna behold…. I’ll just say it like this,,,,,, They {meanin’ the elites, cabal or whatever their proper title is} once asked to see the future & so it was granted to them and when they saw , they asked for it to be taken back cause the ending didnt quite set with ’em… But ya see, things dont quite work that way in the real world and when ya partake in and ask for bad things, bad things tend to come back and wanna stay for supper, then the next thing ya know them bad things is a goin’ to the barn with Ellie May and havin’ a rollin’ in the hay …..
holler,
with or without Ellie May’s consent?
I agree with your post. I suspect I belong in the camp of those who won’t make it. So be it.
Nicely written.

Another reason why they might hate the Russians. This site says 7 million died. Wiki says 3.5.
Of course Russia is no longer Communist, no longer the same regime. But did they clean house? I’ve heard they didn’t, and that some of the old symbols are still used, the statues are still up, etc.
How does Putin see the Soviet Union and its Communism? I’ve heard he criticizes it but regards its breakup as a great tragedy. Any one know more?
Jarek,
yes, the Great Famine was a tragedy. Stalin was a monster, as was Mao – & Hitler too. Communism and nazism are the same thing. Coercion, brutality, and ultimately, mass murder.
Putin’s view about communism as you present it is what I know about it, too. He’s glad it fell, but likes it that the system kept a vast empire, or coalition, of peoples, united. He’s a devout Orthodox Christian, too, which is strange since he’s an ex KGB apparatchik. May be genuine, or a calculated façade, we can’t know.
The Holdomor was invented in the 80s, when the Evil Reagan was president and ratline citizens reigned supreme.
Before that people knew that there were poor harvests, but no one claimed it was deliberate.
There was a Dust Bowl in the US too. Probably won’t be long before some ambitious ”scholar” blames that on Russia, also.
Although Stalin wasn’t Russian, of course.
On one of your shoulders there is the Fascist Angel of Nationalism, on the other sits Red Devil of Communism. They are fighting over your soul. This one was from the latter.
Paula,
the Holdomor was real. No less an authority than “Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn opined on 2 April 2008 in Izvestia that the 1930s famine in Ukraine was similar to the Russian famine of 1921–22 as both were caused by the ruthless robbery of peasants by Bolshevik grain procurements.” (wiki)
At the very least, Stalin ordered confiscation of crops and denied access to relief, resulting in cannibalism and millions of deaths. That’s the consensus. There’s differences re the number of victims and the level of involvement of the Soviet state, but the fundamentals are historically true.
Like the dust bowl you mention, with US Marshalls confiscating any food reserves house by house at gunpoint. Certainly the Georgian didn’t create the weather, but he created the commissars and goons.
You are correct. I have asked a couple of Russian scholars, and this is also their take on it. Under Stalin, millions of farmers lost their livelihoods to fund the great rebuild of the Soviet Union. Some praise Stalin for that, I do not.
There’s a great movie on that called Mr Jones. It goes pretty deep into what happened and documents the New York Times role in covering up the genocide.
Here’s a clue.
“All the cool kids say it, so it must be true” is not an argument I find persuasive.
Ever.
Can you cite someone who has done the historical sleuthing necessary to debunk it?
Looks like they wrote a book on it. As they point out, the entire myth was created in 1986, but now there has been more research.
https://www.husj.harvard.edu/books/contextualizing-the-holodomor-the-impact-of-thirty-years-of-ukrainian-famine-studies
Sorry, Rulo. Solzhenitsyn is not my go-to “scholar” on anything Soviet.
Just because the NY Times is on the bandwagon, along with the other imperialist mouthpieces, does not mean that the Holdomor was not invented in the 80s.
There is no one I hate more than Reagan and his flying monkeys, so no, I will not adopt that narrative.
Yep. That great English journalist, Malcolm Muggeridge, actually witnessed it in the 1930s. He managed to slip away from his Soviet minders and take a few train trips.
And Paula, that Stalin wasn’t Russian doesn’t mean much. Hitler wasn’t German, either…
A classic feminine tangent. Can’t keep on the track of what’s important.
Part of the usual propaganda is that “the Ukrainians hate Russians because Stalin Holdomor”.
Don’t blame me for answering a piece of propaganda you left out. I was being proactive.
The Ukronazis are easy to understand.
They’re Contras, ambitious paramiltaries backed by a foreign power.
This is what it would look like if the US decided to drive the Cartels out of Mexico.
(Pretending, of course, that US Intelligence and the banksters hadn’t installed them in the first place.
Pappy Bush and his old oilfield buddy, Salinas, wanted to move them out of Columbia, so Pappy flattened 4000 blocks of Panama City to silence his uppity middleman, Noriega.)
Mere mercenaries devoid of ideals? As Machiavelli said, such men flee quickly when things go south. For a state to depend on such is folly.
Contra Rulo, the Saker gives them grudging respect as ferocious fighters, not just cowardly bullies. And says some may well die for their beliefs – thus not just mere thugs or mercenaries. Of course some may be Thugs, or Mercenaries, or Satanists, etc.
Some were tough fighters, many were camp guards and pogrom organizers.
Did you see the footage of them shooting a man & his wife trying to escape Mariopol (their stronghold). That’s what they do best. But yes, some were in the waffen ss – which puts them in the “Satanist” category. Many occult ties. I always recommend the book “the morning of the magicians”, by Pauwels & Bergier, in French originally but there’s translations.
Did you know that the SS organized expeditions to Tibet, for example, in order to make contact with the “ancient ones”?
I wonder if they opened a portal that never closed….
Well you’re talking about the SS. I was talking about the Azov Brigade. Wiki doesn’t find a direct lineage. Tusc says that he found one.
Anyway, you said they were nothing but miserable cowards, both then and now. This is in line with the Biblical worldview that utterly despises all enemies as vermin. This was transmitted to both Communism and Christianity and perhaps Islam as well, more indirectly. As Lenin said, See your opponents are utterly without any redeeming value or virtues.
We could and have debated their worldview. But to deny their martial prowess and valor is simply fatuous. I assume Zelenski and Co concur since they lauded and feted them, though no doubt loathing them.
I agree their individual morality is in question, but that is often the case with soldiers and in war. American troops taking Japanese teeth as trophies. The mass rape of German women by Russian soldiers. The two for one t shirts of the IDF – a bullseye over the belly of a pregnant Palestinian woman.
If we had been nice, we wouldn’t have taken this Continent. Or South America either. If we were really nice, we wouldn’t even have tried. In fact, such really nice people would be speaking Mongolian, Turkish, Arabic, or Berber by now and their skin would be brown.
Jarek,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_(1st_Galician)
Jarek, also. Azov. Check out the Black Sun and the Wolfsangel on their insignia, both well known Occult symbols.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion
And Jarek, I recognize not all of them were miserable cowards. I said most were. As in, murdering women and children in cold blood.
I respect courage. May not agree with the ideology behind it, but I admit the Wehrmacht deserve respect. And for the most part, they didn’t engage in mass murder of unarmed civilians. Even at WW2, many old-school German generals and officers refused to do that, and despised the Gestapo and SS goons that did.
Soldier is one thing. Camp guard, stripping women and children naked and sending them to the gas chamber, quite another.
Is occult the same as Satanic in your book? It’s not in mine. But take St Augustine: All the gods of the pagans are devils. Where do you go from there? Nowhere nice. Northern Germany was converted with terror. Thousands of Saxon warriors and chiefs were executed by Charlemagne at the behest of the Church. The hardcore fled to Scandinavia to warn their cousins of new the Horror that was coming.
You’re an agnostic or non-practicing Catholic. But the Shadow of Abraham still looms large in your psyche.
The Northern Pagans returned as the Vikings. The slaughtered Templars returned as those subtle devils, the Masons. Such a mentality makes many enemies.
Jarek,
see, now that’s an insightful comment. I can say it, but not you! I recognize quality.
True, occult and Satanic are not the same thing. What follows is true, too.
You’re a non practicing Catholic, too. So we share that. And Catholic includes the Old Testament, so yes, Shadow of Abraham.
You know how much I despise Bergoglio despite being from the same place. Yet I think, in his absurd wokeness, he’s closer to true Catholicism than you are. You cannot be a Nazi Catholic if you’re honest with yourself. It’s one or the other.
Father Kolbe was a true Catholic.
https://furtherglory.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/father-kolbe-the-catholic-priest-who-died-in-place-of-another-at-auschwitz/
As the Sufis say, Jesus taught the Way to the other world. But Mohammad taught the Way in both worlds. Terrible but true. I think Christ understands me, but I may be wrong. As I averred above, if we had followed his Path exclusively, we’d be long gone. I’m not wrong about that. Thus the Fathers developed the Doctrine of Just War.
Or maybe Jesus meant for us to follow the Old Testament when it came to practical questions. That would have worked too. Lot of war there, eh?
to warn their cousins of new the Horror that was coming. – Jar

I’m guessing you meant to say the new
the true understanding of just defense awaits a man with responsibility to his family, his children.
I’m beginning to think the puppetmasters are using Orwell’s magnum opus for their game plan. We’re at war with Eurasia. We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.
They tried Huxley’s plan, but it didn’t work out.
The sold out parts of the New World and the UK are now at odds, if not in an outright war, with the Classical World. The Classical world is the World of Greece, Rome, Persia, Egypt, the Arab-Islamic Civilization, and China. It is no accident Italy saw the light and signed up for the Silk Road.
Does anyone think now would be a good time to get a mail order Russian bride?
Or would that raise eyebrows on the homeland security front?
They would probably want us to have a mail order Ukrainian bride.
Ukrainian would probably be the way to go. But I’d wait a bit if I were you. In a few months the immigration and delivery costs will be covered by Uncle Sugar and you be able to pick one up locally at a big discount. Not to mention the advantage of performing an onsite visual inspection before taking delivery as well. You”ll want to avoid the extremely shell-shocked models. What’s not to love? Then, after learning the ins and outs of the business, you can apply to become a licensed broker and cash in too. Maybe even pick up a lucrative government contract or two!
This is an obnoxious exchange.
It already happened in the 90s. Not just to Ukrainian and Russian women (and children), but also to the women of the destroyed Yugoslavia.
Americans think it’s a joke.
That might be part of the reason Russians are pissed off.
“Nadia Marcinkova is one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims. Epstein reportedly “purchased” Nadia Marcinkova from her family when she was just 15 years old and often suggested to her as his “Yugoslavian sex slave.”
Doesn’t all this insanity kinda leave Xi Jinping squarely in the catbird seat among the meat puppets? Or should I say, a cat among the pigeons?
Russia, China and Iran form an alliance. What’s to stop them? Does Xi aspire to dominate the world, or not? I can easily imagine the second tier in China pushing him into it (or else!).
lol, would love to see how that war plays out for the West, and the world in general!!!
Here’s Ramzan Kadyrov, someone on the Chechen front that we don’t hear much about:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramzan_Kadyrov
These guys have more testosterone in their little pinky than Biden has in his entirety. More than all leaders in the EU combined!
Diggin’ that look!
In other news:
Nikole Hannah-Jones, the person who is to history what Stephen Hawking is to ski-jumping, claims that coverage of Ukraine is being “racialized”. Evidently the Russians and Ukrainians in their near total Whiteness offer scant opportunity for intersectional grievances and the ever so fashionable dialectic (in VictimWorld™) of White oppressor/non-White oppressed so a grievance has to be manufactured.
Oh, and all you people who thought you lived on the continent of Europe, sorry… that was an illusion created by racist White math… or geography… or something (that was definitely racist).
Ibrahim Kendi not wanting to be left out in the Grievance Olympics reiterated that any policy which results in unequal outcomes along racial lines is by definition racist and urged the Biden administration to supply Stinger missiles and Javelin anti-tank weapons to Chicago gang-bangers. “We can’t have those Crackers in Albania or wherever they are on that non-continent racking up larger KIA counts than traditionally underserved communities. This is another example of the systemic inequities built in to the racist foundation of Western civilization,” Kendi was quoted as saying.
Whitehouse spokesperson Jen Psaki, when asked about Kendi’s comments during a Whitehouse presser on the crisis in Ukraine, said that while the administration’s attention is primarily focused on the hostilities in eastern “Europe”, President Biden finds Kendi an “articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking” African-American and is taking no options off the table.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/nikole-hannah-jones-mocked-europe-not-continent-ukraine-alarm-racial-dog-whistle
“the person who is to history what Stephen Hawking is to ski-jumping…”
Ha! Good one!
I like “VictimWorld™” too.
This racialized line of thinking contradicts the statements of one Richard Moore, Xze, XM — Chief of MI6 British Intelligence (who uses pronouns after his name) Moore stated that an attack on Ukraine is an attack on Gay Rights, that Putin has it in for the LGQT movement, which was one of his Chief motivations for invading Ukraine to begin with.
…Putin has it in for the LGQT movement, which was one of his Chief motivations for invading Ukraine to begin with.
Well shit! That changes everything!
Nikole Hannah-Jones should stick to writing fantasy, as should Ibrahim Kendi. Black Panther 2.0 needs scriptwriters!
Others should quit mistaking fantasy for reality – and quit wasting their time discussing it. But they won’t – until that fantasy becomes our reality.
I assume that quote by Kendi is a joke, but I’m not sure. That’s how far things have gone.
Anglin jokes like this all the time. I assume you are he. Why not?
Hahahahahaha!
According to the OCSE the shelling of Donbass went from 80 a day to 1200 a day after Feb 16th.
What did they think that Putin was going to do about that?
“But now another red line has been drawn, following more and more European governments – most notably Germany – ditching their policies of neutrality when it comes to shipping their weapons into foreign conflicts:
RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS THOSE SUPPLYING LETHAL WEAPONS TO UKRAINE WILL BEAR RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD THESE WEAPONS BE USED DURING RUSSIA’S MILITARY OPERATION – IFAX
More than likely, US and UK-supplied weapons, particularly anti-tank missile systems as well as possibly Stingers, are already being used by Ukraine forces against Russian tanks and armored vehicles. Unverified footage circulating widely online suggests as much at this early stage.”
Identifying Crime and Punishment belongs to Russia. The Idiot is western Europe.
Amman,
very apropos. Nobody has dissected the Russian soul as thoroughly as Dostoevsky.
Except maybe Tolstoy.
OK, Rulo, one can dissect a frog but the soul? Anyway, fyi, I have never read these authors works. I did see “Dr. Zhivago” the movie based on the book by Boris Pasternak. Unfortunately, I never read that too…
Amman,
better late than never. Dosto is rather dense, but Tolstoy is easier.
Don’t remind me of dissecting frogs and my high school biology teacher, who thought he’d be “cool” in our eyes for saying four letter words in class.
Been saving and helping frogs ever since! and that’s a long time ago.
I liked Zhivago, the movie, but didn’t read the book either. One life is not enough…
I’d throw Mikhail Bulgakov in there, too.
Awesome. Rulo is right. One life is not enough.
Yes, I think the Russians have figured out that the lethal weapons systems being provided to Ukraine by the USA and the UK are there for the purposes of killing young Russian soldiers.
“recommending Americans social distance and mask in the event of a nuclear blast”
This is just comical!!!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10560335/Biden-updates-nuclear-explosion-guidelines-include-SOCIAL-DISTANCING-Putin-readies-missiles.html
If you thought the government’s Covid response was terribly disorganized, just wait to see what kind of response we get from them after the nuclear fallout begins to settle.
There are ways that the Corona-Panic itself was an equivalent self-imposed deadweight loss as loss of a war on your own territory.
Err.. Nuclear weapons are deterrence weapons. You don’t want to let that genie out of the bottle.
‘Can you try and connect up the different circuits of your brain? Sometimes you are moderately pro-White. But all that seems to be forgotten when you talk about politics (like this issue) or sex (sex with Blacks is cool). It’s all connected, Tusc. So you must be too if you would See.’ Jarek
Oh, you naughty boy! Sometimes you’re like that little kid running around the playground with his weenie out, trying to whizz on his frolicking playmates.
I give you an incredibly insightful comment and you get weird with me. This is no doubt a defense mechanism. Your shadow likes being in control. Are you getting to let it dominate you like this?
And you know that I can get even weirder. Your comment wasn’t insightful, it was just plain wrong. Pointing that out is not a defense mechanism, it’s a clarification.
“How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole.”

“To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light.” – Carl Jung
Sometimes you are pro-White, as when you talk about the corruption of the United States. Other times, like today, you aren’t. You prefer to talk about “Nazis” (who were pro-White) as a shibboleth or snarl word. It doesn’t make any sense. You simply aren’t integrated, at least not on this question, obviously a controversial one – in fact THE question of our times: Will the White race survive. It won’t if every time people try and do something they get damned by people who should be supporting them.
Where it (id) is, there you (ego) must be.
Paraphrase of Freud
You must integrate. Right now you are like the weak Captain Kirk, wanting to be a good boy.
Other times you post as the strong Captain Kirk, talking about Black savagery and White rights. You must become whole. Not to destroy your diversity but to rule it well as a commonwealth.
There’s White savagery and Black rights too, Jarek. You must become whole.
You can’t be a satanist and call yourself a catholic.
And never call your own stuff “incredibly insightful”. That’s not for you to say and in poor taste.
I’m not a Satanist, but a Universalist. But to the Abrahamic West, that is Satanic.
Christianity is “bhakti” (Hindi), a religion of devotion. The other paths or yoga are largely suppressed. Thus esoteric knowledge had no place once Christianity came to dominate, and had to underground – thus becoming “occult” or hidden in the social sense as well as in the ontological sense.
Judaism and even Islam are more open to the Occult, or at least were in certain times and places.
Much of the Occult entered the West via Judaism, perhaps from its sojourn in Egypt and Babylonia.
Can you see it happening inside yourself? You’re becoming imbalanced in your attempt to get over on me. Are you actually lauding “Black rights” now? We’re dying from such “rights”. You know that.
If the price of winning is to betray your own truth, is it worth it?
Jarek,
you know much. Certainly more than I do. No contest. Your comments on the esoteric, on Oriental and Catholic mysticism, on the history of religions, are about the best this blog has to offer, and there’s many good posters here, so I recognize that.
I’m not trying to “win” any argument, to prevail over you. No, I’m extending my right hand in friendship. Friendship, in this case, means doing what I can to help you be the best version of yourself.
Nobody can be that if they embrace hatred. That’s all. I am as aware as you are of the issues. I am as worried about the future of our besieged minority. I guess sometimes I engage too much with you because, deep down, we’re very similar. Except for one thing, and that’s the deal breaker.
https://www.amren.com/features/2022/02/the-arbery-case-arbitrary-justice-and-black-vengeance/
The Blacks have been put over us. Is this hatred or simple fact? I hate that it’s been done and those who did it to us more than I hate the Blacks per se.
There is no real peace without being prepared for war. We lost that mindset and we have paid dearly and will pay ever more dearly.

Raging hope or quiet despair?
It doesn’t matter: despair is only negative hope…
and hope is nothing but a freely available, home made psychotropic which keeps far too many people numb and aloof from reality*.
* Reality: everything changes, gradually and then abruptly. Getting attached to anything is like falling in love with a burning match.
I fell in love and the ocean past became a searing sunrise, burning up tomorrow’s black night. I couldn’t see the flames, igniting joys and passions of dark coal.
I couldn’t feel the flames, raging intensely, burning up now’s matchstick moments.

tucson,
that sounds a bit like Bradbury, but I suspect it’s you. Very good.
Yes, yours truly, thank you.
kullervo,
incredibly cogent comment. Bravo. Every word to be pondered, but I like the last line especially. That’s Buddhism, in a shell. So easy, yet so hard to do.
I think the negative Greek understanding of “hope” was discussed here some months ago. A home-made psychotropic… that’s my view, too.
Cheers!
It occurs to me that we are five days in, and there still hasn’t been an Ukrainian citizen martyred yet?
This brutal invasion hasn’t produced a George Floyd to wail about and lionize?
Don’t make them pick out some gorgeous Ukrainian woman and do a Nada Agha-Sultan on her!
Great point and hmmm, where is the martyr?
Welp.
Maybe tomorrow…
We have to go through the “plucky little heroes” bit first, Mary: Zelensky in body armour, top models wielding wooden kalashnikovs, old gramps juggling molotov cocktails, etc.
Don’t worry Victoria Nuland is on her way to Ukraine with a bag of bread: https://americanyellowvest.wpcomstaging.com/2022/02/24/victoria-nuland/
I happen to live here in Europe, quite close to Ukraine. What is currently happening in Ukraine is totally absurd, sad, horrifying and outright terrible. Putin unilaterally invaded Ukraine, a nation of 40 million people, and started a very real war last week. CIA or Biden have very little to do with that.
This isn’t some shithole country in some strange place. It’s in Europe, it’s a big civilised country and the people there are dying because Putin started a war.
There absolutely was no provocation from Ukraine for this. That is why we are now seeing a global response and aid to Ukraine that is happening on all fronts. A response nobody expected.
You talk of Occam’s razor. Well, try to razor why everyone from Canada to all European countries, including countries like Sweden and Switzerland, have taken a stance and stand against him? Why even Taliban has advised Putin to stop? Did CIA arrange all that too? Or maybe the simplest explanation is that Putin has really started a totally unjustified war and must be stopped before he attacks even more countries.
I have had great respect for you mr. Kunstler, but now you are not thinking straight. Every European country, Canada and even your USA is sending military aid to Ukraine. All the decisions for military aid have happened within a week after we didn’t do much when Russia annexed Crimea eight years ago. Why is that? Why suddenly now, after eight years? Apply that Occam’s razor here. We are moving fast because Putin has now gone full apeshit. Or as Estonian ex-president said, “Putin is batshit crazy”.
Putin made a very grave mistake here. Ukrainians are fierce enemies and he just pissed off 40 million people there. In addition he made himself 100 million enemies in other European countries, including myself. Your “CIA” or “Joe Biden” could have never done that even with 10 years of info ops.
And to be clear: We don’t hate russian people. But Putin must be stopped and he will be stopped.
You blew your spiel when you said “absolutely no provocation”.
What kind of psychopath disregards the murder of 15,000 people?
What kind of psychopath ignores 1200 missiles strikes a day?
Oh, that’s right.
A Finn, steeped in anti-Russian hate.
I’m not impressed with your analysis.
Zing!!!
I’m impressed they (whoever) find this blog noteworthy enough to send a blathering propagandist to post such a long screed.
LOL.
And you think that Ukraine is a civilized country, but Iraq wasn’t?
Libya? The country with the highest standard of living in Africa?
Syria? Yugoslavia?
What is your shitty attitude that it is OK to kill goat herders and farmers but not “civilized people”?
Pro tip: It isn’t “civilized” to attack and destroy entire countries even if they don’t have electricity.
Another zing. And no doubt this poster thinks of itself as ‘one of the people’ and hates any attack on ‘diversity’ as long as the diverse are the monied or professional class – lol!
Libya? The country with the highest standard of living in Africa?
Thats not ‘saying’ much.
That is true. Many countries in Africa are impoverished and many people go hungry.
Under Ghaddafi though, all health care and education were free, even if they went abroad to study.
Newlyweds got $50,000.
Ghaddafi built the Great Man-Made River, which the US/NATO not only bombed into disrepair, but bombed the factory which made parts to repair it.
Women were equal.
Housing and food were considered human rights and were provided to each citizen.
Ghaddafi helped pay for a satellite for Africans to get cheap cellphone service, which took away $400,000 a year to the French telecommunications corporation which had been providing it. That is no doubt why France joined in with the destruction of Libya, when it had refused to help destroy Iraq.
Oh, that and Ghaddafi was storing tons of gold and silver to back his planned gold dinar, which would provide an alternate currency for African countries. The US stole both the gold and the silver after the invasion.
I guess you could sneer at free health and education and housing and food for every citizen, but that might be embarrassing for an American.
“Under Ghaddafi though, all health care and education were free, even if they went abroad to study.

I can’t help but wonder what did JohnAZ thought of that “socialist hellhole”?
My husband worked in an Irish hospital in Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. He had huge respect for the Iraqis, who were civilised and educated. Saddam, psycho though he was, provided his people with healthcare and education better than is available to the hoi polloi in the US. And Baghdad Hospital was famous throughout the ancient world, when Britons were still painting their faces with woad.
When hubby moved on to Canada, practising in the arse end of nowhere, he had a real culture shock. He met people who thought Iraq was in the African jungle. Clueless and uneducated doesn’t begin to cover it. The cradle of civilisation meant diddly to them.
That is true. They say that Americans learn geography from the countries they attack and invade.
That is not true. They still don’t know geography. We should be frigging experts.
I guess Canadians don’t either.
No offence, GA, but “My husband worked in an Irish hospital in Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war” sounds like the first line of a joke. 🙂
Haha! Saddam did stuff like that though – paid other people to come and build a hospital and run it. And Ireland has always exported doctors and nurses. It was long before I met my husband – I’ve just heard the stories.
Well, Putin has a forty mile long convoy heading into Kyiv tonight.
Remember shock and awe? Soften them up with air power then wham, throw the works at them on the ground.
This will be over quickly.
Biden is the cause of all the unrest we are seeing.
Period.
His Do Nothing, Make excuses attitude, the Dem motto, is finally having effect. Putin says, no excuses, you are not putting a military presence on my southern border.
Period. Our national leaders are just appalled at the repudiation of the Dem motto. They almost are in disbelief at Putin, same with the MSM.
China and Xi are next. How far will they go to challenge our national disgrace?
As far as they want! When a nation loses international respect, anything can happen. We have arrived. At this point, to get respect back is very painful.
“Putin is a mad man!”
Like a Fox.
He makes our President and government look like blithering idiots.
“Biden is the cause of all the unrest we are seeing.”
I’d say the Big Guy’s former boss, Black Jesus, had a lot to do with the situation in the Ukraine over the past 8 years.
True. But I think VP Biden managed the Ukraine “dossier.”
Much opportunities for family grifting.
And didn’t suggest to McCain that he stay out of Ukraine, as he should have done.
So, Ukraine is home territory for Biden et al.
Good point Islander. When all the tanks are back in their boxes, and the Russians back on their side of the border, I would like to see the new Ukrainian government indict the Biden Gang. Not that they will. Not that anything would come of it if they did. But at the moment, that’s all I want for Christmas.
For Brandon, doing nothing is always the best possible option. 1000x for his sidekick, Jiggles.
We hear about some small protests in Russia. We hear nothing about what the Russian populace thinks about what is happening.
That is all that counts as NATO and it’s millions are a paper tiger, like the USA.
Just imagine if Trump was still in power.
Sweet thoughts, like none of this would be happening and he would be ripping the Bidens a new anus over Ukraine.
” We hear nothing about what the Russian populace thinks about what is happening.”
I believe I posted a communication from an acquaintance [Russian] in Moscow at this blog a few days ago.
Here it is again:
“These [the invasion] are the efforts to stop the war that continued about 8 years and to prevent a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe [in the Donbass]. Hope the military operation will end soon.
The absolute majority of people in Russia support it. Of course, the fifth column – in particular, the actors of shoddy show business and pseudo-culture – became passionate pacifists. They did not notice the slaughter that was occurring in the East of Ukraine during 8 years.”
The statement “Russia annexed Crimea” is very tiresome and misleading.
Russia annexed Crimea in the 18th century, while the states were British colonies. They conquered it from the Turks. There was a bloody war over it in the 19th Century between Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire.
The inhabitants of Crimea in 2014 are 80-90% Russian.
If the Ukraine government was so civilized, they would not be shelling and killing Russians in the Eastern part of the Ukraine with impunity.
Mr. Kunstler has a pretty objective view of things. If anything, he glossed over that about 25% of the residents of Estonia and Latvia are ethnic Russians. Perhaps the descendants of Soviet troops. No matter, they are there, and they are harassed, so they offer Russia a legitimate pretext.
The 40 million Ukranians….about half of them supported the government that was overthrown by the US in 2014. I’m sure many of them will prefer the Russians to the corrupt Ukranian NATO puppet government, with some neo-Fascists thrown in.
You, as “nearby” European, should know better than to go along with this charade. Your school education should be better than mine, including geography. Please check out some maps of Poland, 1600s, 1700s, 1922-39, and 1945 to present, and ask yourself, what happened to these people.
As far as Finland, I don’t think Putin, or Russia, has any plans or motivation to attack Finland. Unless Finland decides to allow the NATO (aka the US) to use Finland against Russia. Then, Finland is fair play for the Russian bear, though based on Russia’s 1940 defeat, I bet they just attack targets and do not try to occupy.
Also, your implication that other countries are “shithole countries” doesn’t really make your non-arguments more credible.
as Estonian ex-president said, “Putin is batshit crazy”. – Finnisher
========
Is this a translation from Estonian or did he say it in English?
Q. What’s the origins of the term ‘batshit’?
Inquiring minds want to know.
While we’re at it, does the punctuation above go inside the tick marks (‘), as in quotations, or outside, as I went with above? Once again, inquiring…
Is it batshit crazy to collect batshit and then try to gain-of-function it into something lethal to humans?
Since the US does that, then it is by definition a perfectly normal thing to do.
Also it is perfectly normal to invade Korea, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lebanon, Grenada, Nicaragua, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc.
You can also send weapons to Ukraine so that they can kill their own people.
It is batshit crazy though, to stop Ukraine from killing its own citizens.
What the hell is WRONG with Putin?!!! That’s just nuts!

“No provocation”. “CIA or Biden have very little to do with that.” “Putin… must be stopped before he attacks even more countries.”

On the subject of the Ukraine-War-Panic displacing the Corona-Panic.
Shortly before the Ukraine war, I posted some scenes from the “Defeat the Mandates” rally (Washington D.C., Jan. 23, 2022) and thoughts on that rally’s place in Corona-Panic history and thus the history of our time:

This is the final argument. Putin, bear riding Immortal, must triumph over this fop. Zelensky: Fake tv servant of the people. Putin: Real KGB man who served Russia in that way and then against the Oligarchs in this march towards power.
A video we won’t be seeing on the PBS Newhour.
Question: why are oligarchs just Russian? Why can’t we call our Zuckerbergs and Musks just that?
I, for one, just did call them oligarchs, above. I threw them all in a basket of oligarchic kleptocrats. Now that’s deplorable.
So many settled facts like that are still somehow debatable? I tell ya, it’s sheer madness. I can’t even have a calm discussion about things political/cultural with my own brother! It feels crazy, and it IS CRAZY.
Uh oh.
PBS & NBC News are detecting racial bias in Europes willingness to accept refugees from Ukraine, compared to ‘fortress Europe’ when it comes to refugees from Africa and the Middle East. A quote from a Polish Govt official “these Ukrainians are civilized Europeans” sent news correspondents into convulsions lol. Another thing, apparently Africans fleeing Ukraine are being stopped at the Polish border, not being permitted entry into Poland.

It’s now March, but when I turned on my computer they wanted me to know that black history is world history.
omg
You have to understand Thwack, that Eastern Europe has a long standing minority problem: Gypsies. For some reason, they have no been able to get these people out over the centuries. They are resourceful and resilient – and profoundly criminal. The prejudice against them is quite rational. Thus they have queered things over there for Blacks and other Browns.
They do very well under welfare, and their numbers are rapidly expanding. They believe in big families……

The MIC is alive and well. Adam Kinzinger wants a no fly zone over Ukraine where US jets will shoot down Russian jets.
We elect these idiots into office.
His buddy is Liz Cheney.
Russia has closed its airspace, 1/6 of earth’s landmass.
EU is talking about rolling convoys from the west, providing logistics for the Ukraine army. Russia might decide to knock them out. This could get out of control,
BRH
Shock and Awe, Putin style will have it over before the West will have organized a convoy.
The next two days are critical as the Russian boots on the ground happens.
I don’t trust the network news. It’s propaganda.
I think the Russians will control choke points, and the flow of food and fuel into some cities, like Kiev.
In the East, the inhabitants will support them and the Russians will pretty much take over.
I don’t think the Russians will go into hostile cities, it’s losing proposition, UNLESS, Ukranian thugs, neo-Nazi or otherwise, begin killing and harassing innocent civilians who supported Janukovyich (or whatever pre-2014 ruling party was).
It’s naive BS for Fox/CNN to report “this is taking longer than expected”. It’s not a 4-day operation.
The MIC is alive and well. Adam Kinzinger wants a no fly zone over Ukraine where US jets will shoot down Russian jets.
LOL! With F-35s no less! I sure hope they try. The USAF will bankrupted and depleted in less than a week.

The death rate in war torn Ukraine?

O my gosh John i’ve never seen you talk like that before. Now I’m really scared
Then you have not read my anti-Amerika posts that I have issued since the 2018 elections. I am Pro-Trump, actually pro-20th century America and very anti-Deep State. I despise what the Left has done to this country. This list that Mary has put out above are the enemies of this country, the antithesis of what WE are supposed to be. Arrogant aholes that want to run the world because THEY know better.
What we are seeing in the world today, including $100 a barrel oil is directly the result of the policies of the Young Leaders.
You should be scared!!!!!
Without Trump and his Deplorables and their ability to turn DC away from the Swamp, this country will continue to degrade into obsolescence.
BTW, have you heard that Canada and a bunch of the Deep State want to stop oil deliveries from Russia. Others want to shoot down Russian jets in a no fly zone?
Russia, Putin laughs. why?
He watches the price of oil, his revenue go higher and China just told him that they wil buy all the oil the West does not want.
Boy, are our sanctions working well.
You better be scared!!!!
Were you around in 1973? Then it was Saudi Arabia that throttled our oil. Americans were killing one another over gasoline.
We better all be scared!!!!

Army Recruitment Ads: Russia vs USA vs China vs Britain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZskbZKtI9k
Wow. The message from the US military to straight white men couldn’t be any clearer could it?
check out the scrawny white guy in the wedding compared to the giant hulking lesbian. LOL.
Amazing! The China advertisement video gave me chills and almost made me feel proud (if I was actually Chinese). So sad to see there is no need for straight white males to defend the USA anymore. Let all the butch trannies take care of business and attempt to hold “listening sessions” with our enemies.
Wow!
That the US and UK ads are literally cartoons, as well as cartoonish, says a lot.
Says a lot? Like what? What does it say to you?
It says to me that the Communists have finally triumphed. Laugh while you can because you will not laugh long.
Communism is owned by Capitalism, and they want to destroy the West and ultimately all nations, while staying in control. Not easily done. Not if Russia and China have anything to say about it. They may have miscalculated. Oceania is their vehicle, but they have degraded it too much too fast.
I’m starting to think you are in complete cognitive dissonance. Once you were so sure, but no longer. You don’t know what you believe.
The Rothschilds did fund Communism. Why? How does that make sense within any conventional paradigm, “left” or “right”. Start there.
I wonder if the Chinese and Russian military is all shot up with mRNA?
Ouch. WTF?

Did you notice that most of them are students? Go figure. That one Indian girl said they were being attacked with “sticks and stuff”. Indeed, sticks and stones may break my bones, but “stuff” will never hurt me. That Black lady in the video is trying to escape the Ukraine so she can get the gap in her front teeth fixed.
Racist
I was just joking you know
They’re used to self effacing Whites. Unfortunately, Eastern Europe never got the memo about that. That’s why the East may be the key to White survival. But not if Putin has his way. This is the key to the Azovian rage.
The wifi was down earlier. I thought Putin had taken the internet offline. But it’s working so I guess it was just a little disruption.
“I thought Putin had taken the internet offline.”
Hilarious.

Not if you become your enemy to make him your friend. He has defeated you.
Power people would rather die than compromise. Hence our 21st century America>Amerika.
Yes.
…and that defines the vast majority of the baby boomer ruling elite, who morphed into that which they railed against.
The whole drama played out in North America centuries ago. Hiawatha’s daughters were murdered and he couldn’t function any more. He lost his position as chief. Then he met a spiritual teacher who converted him to the Path of Forgiveness. He was thrown out of his tribe for his pacifism, but he was an incredible speaker, another St Paul. He converted the Five Nations and created the Ring of Peace.
https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Hiawatha
The Ring of Peace kept growing, with new tribes joining. Then they began to pressure tribes to join, not taking no for an answer. How like Oceania and the New World Order. As Putin said, they are always willing to sit down and talk endlessly. But they never concede anything, and their absolute ambition is not hard to see.
At least Hiawatha, his Teacher, and the first Chiefs who signed on were all sincere. I doubt that about the United Nations and almost all of the Presidents since Truman, to a greater or lesser extent.
Putin likely will go nuclear when he realizes he’s destroyed both Russia and himself. His attitude might be “F.U. If I’m going down you’re all going down with me”. The sanctions are cornering him. That’s my concern. Maybe someone in his inner circle will shoot him in the nick of time if it becomes obvious that he’s losing it
Putin’s generals disobeying launch commands AND apprehending him, remains the greatest hope for the greater immediate survival of humanity.
The War Crimes tribunals ARE coming.
And ALL who aided, abetted, and derived material benefit WITH the Russian Federation and the Communist Chinese Party shall be rounded up and brought to trial.

GODSPEED!!
Got Not is the kind of guy who uses words like “Kraut’, but evidently his hatred of Communism (he doesn’t know that neither Russia or China are Communist anymore) is greater, so he’s on the side of the Kraut’s this time.
He’s never defined any of these terms correctly, so he’s always going to get it wrong.
Hint: Communism is unnatural doesn’t last. In North Korea, it’s morphed into monarchy. In Russia, Nationalism or Fascsim. In China, National Socialism as befits the strong Chinese feeling for their Race.
The Azov Brigade or Krauts are opponents of Putin’s race blind Civic Nationalism, even though it’s strong and healthy in many ways. If Russian was mono-racial it would be one thing. But the Russian Federation contains a large, fast growing Muslim population that spells doom for the actual Russian people.
Putin is kicking ass and chewing bubble gum; and he’s all out of bubble gum.
You guys don’t understand that for the Russians this war is existential and they ain’t gonna wait around for someone to get strong enough to kick their ass and make them 2nd class citizens in their own country.
Just look at the Western white man?
Handing his nations over to rioting blacks, rainbow flags, and anal pride parades… If y’all wanna commit suicide, thats up to you; but don’t expect everybody, and especially Russians to follow your example.
Yeah, all in the name of “democracy”!
Bull!!
The stupidity of the American public in 2020 is now starting to take its toll.
And Thwack, White people elected Biden. More Blacks and Latinos voted for Trump than 2016.
Well said, Thwack. There’s a great video of Russians hanging around outside a club who punch out drunk, unruly African “students”. One of them asks the savage, What are you doing here? They naturally see through Blacks. A serious student would be in his dorm studying, not outside a club insulting the young women of his host nation. If such a student did go out, he would be respectful, especially when it came to women.
Part of the Tiananmen Sq Movement was Chinese outrage over Black Africans hitting on their women in the classic Black way.
Did you see the brawl between the Chinese Basketball Team and a visiting American one? They knew about Blacks and were ready. When an elbow or fist was thrown they immediately attacked as a group and the Blacks were thrashed.
All the world’s troubles which will end humanity are the faults of Blacks and Jews. Blacks and most likely Jews are not going away, so why bother to continually castigate them when nobody will be left? A waste of time to complain. Or do you want a record for the aliens who will visit Earth in the next million years or so? Like they will care.
That’s an interesting point of view, Bill. Jews and Blacks certainly don’t get along very well any more, except at the highest level. Somebody decided that it was going to be all Blacks all the time now in advertising and entertainment. I assume it was the group that owns and/or controls such things.
They naturally see through Blacks. A serious student would be in his dorm studying, not outside a club insulting the young women of his host nation. If such a student did go out, he would be respectful, especially when it came to women.

Jerek, you must not get out much?
90% of getting foreign girls is simply proximity; the language barrier even makes it so you don’t need much game; especially if you are an American blk man. Fighting over women who aren’t even yours just makes you look weak and insecure because ALL women know who they wanna be with, and despite your best efforts, at the end of the day, they will find a way.
I had a white girlfriend when I was 7, we used to meet at the fence between our backyards. She gave me a bracelet made of yarn. Then one day she no longer came to the fence anymore. Im sure you know what happened?
lol
Yes, they know who is stronger. Here it’s you guys. Hopefully the Slavs learn from our mistake. That night in Moscow with the Black “students” rolling around in the red splattered snow? It was the Whites.
The Chinese get it. When a Western company delivered a video game that showed Blacks humiliating Chinese, the Chinese were enraged. The video guys, so utterly corrupted, asked, What did we do wrong? They may have been sincere in their question – that’s how far we have fallen.
Perhaps my all time favorite quote from American Renaissance was by a Black poster: They sure don’t make Whites like they used to.
LOL! Satire, I presume?
Sarcasm.
You could be right, Kevvia.
Kevv, How is Putin destroying Russia? They can feed themselves and provide their own energy. Very few other countries have this ability. The global economy cannot function properly without Russian commodity exports. If this insanity continues, I’m wondering if they’ll be demanding gold for payment of oil contracts. They can offer a very reasonable cost but demand physical. The paper gold market along with the dollar would blow up very quickly and the price would reset.

Truly. America and China were natural allies after all the business that they had done together, much to the detriment of America’s people, but that’s another story. It must have taken serious diplomatic Idiocy to turn them towards Russia.
Together we could have plundered the great North. Instead all those resources will be for China as a business partner. Or maybe China just realized this path was best, and would have thrown us away even if we weren’t assholes.

Well Russia is a huge exporter of nickel. Uh-oh for the GND folks and their darling EV’s. Nickel is very much needed for batteries and good steel. Of course China will make good use of all the Russian nickle, just as they will with all of the Russian oil and nat gas which the EU will not be getting. I hear the Chinese also like Russian vodka but we pour it into the drain.
Some people may pour vodka down the drain, but I sure as hell don’t.
If you don’t want to drink Russian vodka, send it to me instead.
Well Bill, there won’t be any in the NH state liquor store on 95. Sununu stands with Ukraine and says pull it from the shelves. He’s mad at Russia. They’ll just put it in the back and bring it out come summertime when everybody is passing through on their way to Maine. No way is the state gonna dump that shit. It’s already paid for.

If the electrical grid or the internet go down, it’s not the Russians that I will suspect. It will be us, again, false flagging ourselves – but of course blaming Putin. It has already been signaled: remember Cyber Polygon last July? It’s coming, but not from the direction everyone is looking.
Putin is not so stupid – probably nobody in the Russian government is – that he would launch a massive cyber attack against the US or the EU as part of the operations in the Ukraine. He is lancing a boil. You don’t embroil the whole world in war to do that. But fools will believe what they are told to believe.
Russia hasn’t even shut off the internet in Ukraine.
But sure, they’re going to shut off ours.
Americans have been programmed to be paranoid conspiracy nuts by our rulers.
I just looked at some webcams and even the traffic lights in Kiev are still on. They were blinking though. Not much traffic at this hour. Buildings all lit up. Certainly no blitz going on. Not very buttoned down for a city under siege according to the MSM.
There probably isn’t even an actual war being waged. It is all a massive psyops by the elites of the NWO trying to get the masses in a tizzy so they can swoop in and do their thing behind the scenes.
The same people who supported the impeachment of Trump in 2019 for supposedly holding up US weapons to kill the people of eastern Ukraine are today wailing about Russians supposedly killing Ukrainians with Russian weapons. (Although they also support handing out weapons to the civilians of Kiev who are using them to settle old scores. That, you see, is “inspiring”….. because they are told it is inspiring.)
These people will also tell you that the reason for the sudden concern (after 8 years) for the lives of Ukrainians by Americans is that Americans are “racist”. (Although these same Americans supported the attacks on the bodies, property, bank accounts, children and dogs of the Canadian truckers because the truckers were also “racist”.)
When the US was trying to get military bases in Africa, though, Americans were quite concerned about the lives of Tutsis, then the genocide in Darfur, then the past victims of Kony, then the kidnapped girls of Nigeria, then the victims of Ebola. Quite concerned, until the bases were obtained, or Sudan was split into two countries, then the concern dropped.
Americans are also very, very concerned about Uigurs in China.
It’s almost as though they care about what they are told to care about, without a brain cell devoted to thinking for themselves.
Almost… LOL!
Communist propaganda, combined with Communist Christian teachings, have driven people mad. Healthy Fascism or America First is the remedy.
Never forget Dicken’s Mrs Jellyby, based on a real character. Her “circle” would knit sweaters for the poor, naked Africans, which they didn’t need. Meanwhile her Scottish tenants were dying of cold.
Charity is so much more comfortable and virtuous when the object is thousands of miles away.
Time for Jimbo to interview D. Orlov again on Kunstlercast #355.
You always have a lot of good ideas tom
War sickens me. People have the right to be alive and to live their life. That being said, I’m still on the Russian side. Putin, a louse he may be, has been left with no other choice but to insure the West doesn’t continue to surround Russia. He tried to not invade, but because of the West’s intransigence, he ended up having to go into Ukraine. I know he is no alter boy, but really, what else could he have done? If someone disagrees, please tell me what effective alternate action could have been taken?
Also, there may be other players behind the scenes moving chess pieces around, but that’s not obvious – just an assumption as of now -so I’ll continue to see the board as it is outwardly being played.
I’m seeing guests on Cable News talk shows recommending the US knock out Russian Caravans converging on Kiev with airpower, drop in the 82nd Airborne to combat Russian Infantry, deploy Warthogs to destroy Russian tanks. If it was up to me I’d be very careful challenging Russia on Russia’s front porch. Putin isn’t Saddam Hussein, and the Russian Army is not the Iraqi army. It’s been a long time since the US has engaged a peer enemy. The results might not be so good. Also, putting the screws to Russia economically with the “Mother of All Sanctions” might not have such a good outcome either, especially if the Country is destabilized, and Russian leadership begins feeling desperate and paranoid.
Yeah, let’s not forget the Russian sub cruising off our coast with 160 nuclear missiles. Or the special underwater missiles Russia has, remotely guided, that can create a radioactive tidal wave 500 feet high. Maybe one detonated right in front of the Statue of Liberty (so called).
Hubris is deadly right now. And our State Department and Congress are full of it. Biden and Psaki actually are a voice of reason at this point.
Well put, Back Row, well put
The US has made it clear from the beginning that their response to a Russian invasion was going to be tough, it was going to be severe, it was going to be resolute.
They were going to stop the Nordstream 2 pipeline.
Mission Accomplished already.
What are those cable people yapping about?
If we have hit Russia with the “Mother of All Sanctions”, let’s hope Russia is too considerate to roll out the Grandmother of All Sanctions –
shutting the gas off.

Move to Baltimore; nobody would ever waste a nuke on this shit hole.
Thwack, you remind me of the black dudes I worked 3rd shift with in the newspaper printing plant; irreverent, humorous, and in their case eager to make enough money in Hartford (which they called a sh#thole) so they could get back home to the West Indies. These guys were good co workers, forthright, no backstabbing or any of that BS that goes on at work.
We had this breakroom, spent alot of time in there when the presses broke down. Their main topic was big butts, on white and black women. They loved ’em above all else.
White folks moving to Baltimore? That would be gentrification and that’s racist – almost as racist as the white flight that preceded it.
Wouldn’t load.
Took a while, but finally came up. No surprises. We’re cooked.
So the Snake Island Thirteen, “Russian ship, go fuck yourself” story is bullshit. They’re all alive.
Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!
The endgame is the great Reset. The economies of the world must be crashed. They have already bankrupted the systems and put the world in debt. Especially the US. They want Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Covid was the first coverup of the ruin of economies. Covid and other diseases will keep reappearing.
War will perform the same function. War will bring famine. We will also have manufactured famines and supply chain issues to accomplish depopulation.
From ZeroHedge:
Here is an article from ZeroHedge that explains how the sanctions against Russia and the ban of Russia from SWIFT, a global payment system, will lead to missed payments that will affect western economies. You can’t just remove a whole country from the global banking system without repercussions. A Hungarian economist, Zoltan Pozsar, says that the Federal Reserve may try to stabilize markets with its most powerful intervention: a spike in liquidity swaps, which are currently at zero.
He concluded that it appears that the Ukraine war has translated into yet another Fed balance sheet-boosting crisis just like Covid, and “so the Fed’s balance sheet might expand again before it contracts….”
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/pozsar-warns-another-lehman-weekend-russia-sanctions-may-trigger-central-bank-liquidity
The whole mess is summed up in one sentence by some guy in the comments section who said, “So in short, market purposely crashed and then blamed on Russia.
Malth, have you seen the film “The Miracle Mile” 1988?

The system may never crash, but the American consumer most certainly will. A local gas distributor told me that they expect gasoline to be $9.00 by Summer. Our electric delivery charges just jumped 50%, and the local Dollar Stores are now $1.25 for everything. Dopey Joe was recently quoted as saying that many Americans have been totally overcome by Covid fear that they cannot see how much better we are all doing economically. Time to leave him on the trail with a bag of jerky and some water and move the tribe onward.
Consumers will absorb the skyrocketing costs, at first with their credit cards, then by taking out more debt and equity loans, but in the end, they will lose their vehicles and then their homes.
Let us see if they will be truly happy once they own nothing, right Herr Schwab? You bastard!
Wow, $9.00 a gallon! That should just about finish this place off.
NM and most of the mountain west will come to a stand still at $9.00/gal. Shoot, $6.00 for that matter.
If something has happened before, it can happen again.
Summer 2008. China growth very hot. Oil prices were rising rapidly late spring/summer.
Oil crossed $150 a barrel. I think remember paying, in Tennessee, about $4.25 to $4.50 for 87-octane in late summer.
42 gallons in a barrel. So crude cost about $3.50 of that.
Shortly after that, we had the implosion of Wall Street. In my simple mind, the rising and high price of oil was like lifting the carpet and seeing the how rotted out the financial floor was, and watching it collapse.
JHK’s book was prescient. When the price of oil rises beyond a certain point, it chokes off the economy.
In poorer countries, people currently pay $6-$8 per gallon.
The US economy is already surreal, thanks to the COVID lockdowns.
Add a few million illegals. Add a few trillion dollars, that are increasing prices, and the supply chain issues.
This was ALL before Ukraine. ALL of it will get worse.
However, now they can blame Putin for all of that.
That’s a conventional view.
But on top of it, the US has just kicked off a financial war without precedent in the post 1945 era, to punish Russia.
(Let’s set aside that the Russians have a point, and are in the right)
These sanctions are squeezing Russia, of course.
But they will boomerang and come back and push the US off the cliff. The dollar will lose it’s status, and our ersatz prosperity will implode.
Oil producing countries need higher prices or they run the risk of collapse. Oil prices have been too low for too long, similar to what happened before the collapse of the Soviet union. Russia in particular feels like it has been underpaid for it’s commodities all these years. The problem is higher oil prices will crush the economies of importing countries. Gail T talks about this:

Anglin:
The Ukrainians continue to take up positions in residential areas to try to force as many civilian casualties as possible.
As you can see, it’s well-established Ukrainian military tradition to blame war crimes on their victims. Maybe this’ll help you understand the mindset of Donbass soldiers who are happy to be able to fight back against those who did this for 8 years(!) with help from Russia.

There is actually a 50-page document circulating on the Russian internet right now, it’s called “The truth about Ukraine’s crimes in Donbass” & contains many, many photos, articles & other kinds of proof of Ukr war crimes. https://t.co/E7dpwtlxOu

Jarek: He says the little girl shown on Hannity was one such Ukrainian victim. The doctors were cursing Putin, the nurses were crying, and I started hating him too. This kind of thing is supremely effective. This is Hannity’s stock in trade – which is why I don’t watch him. I was watching Tucker, then an oriental video game came on, then Hannity. He had some good war footage, so I watched till the end. Many of the youtube videos of Tucker’s show are weird conglomerations like this.
Also said that the Ukrainian air force is saying that they’re going to start using Polish airstrips since theirs are all destroyed. Big mistake for Poland if so. But EU is supposedly fast tracking Ukraine into membership, so it may be correct.

Given the above, I have had to reassess my relationship to this site. I have decided that I will continue to read Jim’s twice-weekly essays because they are so good. However, I hope to NOT read the comments as I find the flood of errors so disconcerting. I will, therefore, not be commenting on other people’s comments. This will not be easy. If I happen to slip up and read a comment and find that it demands a response then you may hear from me.
During the “March Madness” basketball season I am likely to have something to say about it.
So, for now, have a nice day and remember not to type “the” Ukraine until that country ceases to be a sovereign nation, which is looking quite possible.
I hope you don’t get in trouble Q but you always just push things so far. You need to calm your nerves and try not to let the little things push you over the edge. Thank you for the kind wishes and I hope you have a nice day as well.
We’ll miss ya, Q.! Go Scarlet Knights!
Oh Q.bert, don’t leave us w/o the ongoing saga of your bil!
Sorry to hear that, Q.
I never minded most of your corrections. I just ignored your obsession with the Ukraine. Why would I want to support US/nazi propaganda?
I find many other commenters to be way more offensive, so I am sorry this happened to you, Q.
what happened to ianw?
“However, I hope to NOT read the comments as I find the flood of errors so disconcerting.”
Well, you make quite a few yourself, so you should lay off playing teacher.
But that’s the funny part. That’s why I don’t mind him. The self-owns are hilarious.
This is true. I thought his quirky corrections were cherished performance art. I’m surprised that he admits that it’s a stress-relieving compulsion of sorts. I can’t imagine how this relieves stress. After having tutored college students through bonehead English and editing books in various languages, I think of ignoring others’ mistakes as a huge luxury, but that’s just me.
Concise language is an art effecting one’s affections among his peers. We all have needs.
Thank you, Islander. I didn’t want to have to point it out again.
Sorry for helping to push you in-front of the train. I guess I provoked you like Ukraine provoked the Russia…
Stick around, keep us updated in regard to Peter and other things non-grammatical. Don’t make us get used to a new name.
Best to do as most of us do and let others go ahead and be wrong on the internet. I enjoy your non-corrective comments.
I enjoy Q. Shtick’s corrective comments, in general. I think it is essential to preserve the integrity of language. I try to maintain an understanding of correct grammar, even as I push against its incorrect frontiers.
I fear my incessant provocations, re: “theUkraine, may have helped to push the Stick over the edge into near-banishment. My bad for provoking. Stick’s bad for taking the bait and not letting go.
My advice to the Stick: choose better your hill to die on. Defend the mother tongue to the death – but don’t punch little kids in the enforcement (and don’t be lured into obvious traps).
Thank you, Jimbo. This blog should not be a virtual grammar lesson. Note, though, that it’s Q. (with a period) Shtik. I was chastised by Disaffected for omitting this punctuation mark.
Can’t wait for Sleepy Joe tonite babbling beyond his bedtime. It’ll be a stretch for me, too.

I’m glad you came around and finally took note of that TC. You were humbled and have now came clean publicly. We’ll get you punctuating with aplomb before you know it.
By the way, “Jimbo” might just be a little too familiar. Let’s try to minimize that kind of stuff.
I agree re “Jimbo.”
Show respect.
Wasn’t that nickname coined for some conceited tennis player?
A tattletale too, TC? For shame, for shame… I expected better of you, young man.
Well this out to really teach that rapscallion Putin a lesson! Any money says on this basis alone of being stripped his Black Belt title he completely pulls out of the Ukraine, formally apologizes, and agrees to pay for a complete rebuild of the Ukraine cities he damaged.

I swear, seeing these silly antics by the West is like a kitten batting at a tiger.
Lol yes it is funny if it weren’t so scary given the potentials. He is firing missiles and bombs at everybody and basically the response is ok fine I’m taking your titles away and burning your papers and shutting your online accounts down and putting you on a bunch of lists mister!
It is pretty lame.
But what else do they got, SSL?
Well that is about as much as a kitten can muster
I fear they are not a kitten though but actually I want to be wrong now lol, go figure
Well, presuming they are a kitten, the question remains: do they also have a caboodle to take refuge in?
I don’t really see what they can do. They have no moral authority, particularly the United States, and they have been a 3rd party to the shelling of innocent ethnic Russians in the Donbass.
Putin appears to be putting an end to Ukraine is a client state; I see no indicators that he is doing anything else.
Ukraine is not a democracy and is under rule by a puppet autocrat being fed weapons by NATO.
That’s because he isn’t “firing missiles and bombs at everybody”.
He is firing them solely at military targets.
Tanks running over civilian miatas dont cut it.
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but the tank in question was Ukranian.
The whole thing was also deemed an “accident,” though it looked rather purposeful.
Yeah, that was a Ukrainian tank.
But thanks for showing us how easily you can be manipulated!
Meanwhile, a large ship carrying 4000 new Lamborghinis, Bentleys, BMWs, Porches and Volkswagens … sank in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
That’ll throw a hurt on the luxury car market.
Something seems to be wrong with the companys producing the 2021 ‘Car of the Year’ Lucid Air EV ($175,000) & the ‘Truck of the Year’ Rivian EV ($83,000). After blockbuster IPOs, and many promises made, neither company seems to be producing any vehicles. Key employees are resigning as well. I’m suspicious, and beginning to think these companies are enormous scams like the Nikola EV over-the-road trucks a few years ago. That’s what it’s looking like.
You mean like Solyndra?
Seems all this green energy is vaporware of the worst kind.
Gee what a surprise.

Watching the EV car carrier burn to the waterline has been the highlight of my past few days. Funny thing about a lithium fire— almost no action short of divine intervention can put it out.
Back in the day my company was asked to collaborate with Advanced Lithium ( a Canadian company owned by Paul Allen) to develop a battery containment module for the Fiskar EV which was the predecessor to the Tesla. I’m no electrical engineer, but once I saw how they were trying to monitor and control runaway meltdowns I quietly closed the door on our participation and ran like hell.
The company burned through a million dollars a week for a few more months before it imploded.
There’s no metallic lithium in the battery itself so the batteries are considered a class B flammable liquid. ABC dry chem would be fine. The thing is those expensive cars use a lot of lightweight alloys. aluminum and such. Once that gets going then you have tons of class D combustible metal going and that is when your problems really start. An aluminum engine block is a bitch to put out.
I wonder if our US internet service providers have blocked access to .ru Russian websites??? I was trying to access the site http://www.mid.ru which is the site of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Seems with all this blockage of communication certain people are almost trying to escalate the war. Without communication there cannot be understanding.
Cowbell I can get into it no problem. Everything is in Russian though. and Google translate won’t touch it for me. what’s this mean?

Well that’s not what I pasted.
I’ve been having trouble since last week.
And a facebook friend of mine who lives in Russia says that his wife’s phone had two pop-ups, one telling her to go take all of her money out of the bank, because…Swift, (obviously aiming at causing a bank run)
and another one showing the “Russian soldier” telling his mother that Mean Putin is making them kill civilians.
Russia can’t put a stop to US propaganda in their own country???
Everyone should ditch their (allegedly) smart phones.
These are the new umbilical cord feeding poison into the brain.
Somebody up the line took out my connection to RT last week.
I’ve frequently cross checked our MSM propaganda against RT’s Russian state propaganda to see which seems to be closest to the truth on a particular issue. But that is no longer possible as the fog of war settles in.
As much as I hate living in an information climate where almost every bit of information is manufactured and controlled, I must say that in times of war all countries cast truth aside and mobilize their mind control capabilities to produce a united front. The difference between now and the old days of WWII war bonds and Pravda is that capitalism has spent decades refining its techniques of selling consumers crap they do not need. Switching over to selling the programed consumers on a war they don’t even care to understand is mere child’s play. What is unique about this particular moment is that the Pandemic Panic first turned the brains of the four billion people who lined up for experimental genetic intervention shots into mush. As the pandemic narrative began to collapse under the weight of hundreds of thousands of re-infections, unexplained heart attacks and miscarriages, and radical increases in all-cause mortality even the true believers began to privately realize that they may have been sold a lame horse.
However when it comes to the “Russia Bad” narrative anything they may have learned by being herded into the Pandemic Panic societal collapse for two years falls instantly by the wayside, and war fever captures 95% of them to march in lock step with a President so senile that he can’t even change his own diapers.
Hannity: Putin is insane. Guest: Yes, not the man he used to be.
Hannity: He’s off his meds or needs to be on meds. The circle of people around him must know this. And they need to do what needs to be done.
Ukraine’s Ambassador to Russia speaking to Putin: Why don’t you commit suicide in a bunker like Hitler?
Jarek: With diplomatic brilliance like this, what could go wrong?
Yes indeed, exactly. The house of cards will come crashing down any day now, and it will not end well. Maybe Putin is waiting until after tonight’s SOTU address by Biden to see what further remarks are made? Only then will Putin make the next move.
I wonder where he’s got his nukes pointed? Military installations? Big cities like NY and LA? Small cities … like Hartford? Yikes!!!
Just because Putin is acting more aggressively doesn’t mean he is insane or cracking up. I love the way people assume he is crazy without knowing his mental state. This is just anti-Russian propaganda. If he is crazy, we’ll know for sure in a while.
Was King George III considered crazy when he mustered troops against the fledging American colonies during the Revolutionary War? On the other side of the scale, was George Washington considered crazy for his actions when he served as General of his troops?
War=Aggression Like you said, it does not mean that the actor is crazy, and the West is likely stoking everything with baseless propaganda, throwing all kinds of junk out there to see what sticks.
There is a CO – a central office – were the western media is told what to print and rave and heap invective upon. At times, the target is China or Iran but today it is Russia. Still, no mention of Trump so far…..
The narrative creation seems to be coming from both the WEF and the CCP. Maybe that’s why is sounds so schizophrenic most of the time.
Were all US presidents “crazy” for launching wars of aggression on more than 100 countries?
Or is that just reserved for Designated Enemies of the US ruling overlords?
We’ll see how the “mental state” meme survives tonight’s address by “Joe Biden.”
I am pretty sure that Putin is capable getting off a few zingers at Biden’s expense.
I was listening to Urban radio station 126 yesterday and the female black talk show host was the craziest person I think I have heard in years.
Afflicted with a severe case of TDS and blackitus.
Angry, shouting over anyone attempting to explain why Biden is such a horrible president and that even Trump would be better at this point.
She actually believes Biden has done a good job.
She went on and on how crazy Putin must be as well.
When both sides are in lockstep we know we have huge issues!
One thing I feel most likely will occur is that in a year things will be very different.
For the better, or worse?
Worse. Or just different.
Yes, we certainly live in interesting times.
Ya think. ; )
“Cry havoc and release the Chechen” — V Putin
Anglin
This is not exactly filler, but filler lite or filler adjacent material.
Scott Ritter was a military intelligence analyst and then went to work at the UN, where he blew the whistle on the fact that Iraq didn’t have any WMDs.
He’s since been a commentator. I think he got did up for like, trying to meet a 16-year-old girl on the internet or something, and was in prison for a while.
Anyway, he always has different comments on Russia, which was his main point of study in the military, and he says that Vladimir Putin is very worried about Russia’s long term prospects and feels his country is losing too many people due to not breeding enough, and so he literally wants the population of the Ukraine, and he’s planning to completely seal the country.
He also says all the same stuff I’ve been saying about the causes of the war, and the fact that Russia is willing to take military casualties in order to avoid civilian casualties because he is doing hearts and minds.
Anyway, it’s 12 minutes that I can say increased my understanding, so I give it a recommendation.
It is two or three days old, which is a long time in war time, but he’s not really talking about specifics of events so that doesn’t matter much.
I can’t find an article he’s written with these exact talking points. Most of what he’s written recently is just the same stuff I’ve written with regards to NATO backing Putin into a corner.
Jarek: Very interesting. Is Putin starting to think in terms of biology? Starting to transition to National Socialism even as our Paula begins to slowly climb towards the light of Fascism?
The Russian people emerged from Communism in terrible shape. Many if not most of the men were alcoholics and of course suffering from depression. And of course this helped to lead to early mortality, low fertility, fewer marriages, mental illness, etc. The Western Culture that flooded in after the Fall, especially Feminism did not help things, certainly not the birthrate. The Gay and Tranny stuff isn’t going to help either.
So perhaps he does need the Ukrainian people, who are healthier than his own. And he does realize that the Chechens and people like that, though very fertile, are not really the stuff that any real Russian Union can be made of.
I believe he’s made efforts to get the Russian Elite to marry more, but the effects can only be modest given what he’s up against. Anglin asks, Why did he let Western Internet into Russia? Russia could have had its own, like China. Good question.
So that’s where Jeffrey Epstein went. Taking his New Mexico breeding ranch up a level, or two.
You know little about Eugenics it would seem and care even less. Your name isn’t Eugene but Dysgene.
Jar Jar, as your hero the Gypper would say, “There you go again!”
I have always been a proponent of eugenics – voluntary of course, as I’ve always been a non-proponent of coercion.
Stupid, evil, (and yes, even ugly) people shouldn’t have kids. There are too many people on this planet and most of them are just trashing the place. Unfortunately the people who shouldn’t contribute offspring to the future are, and those who should be aren’t.
Did you practice what you preach? Are your kids a good example of eugenics in action?
why does ugly get lumped in with stupid and evil? that seems unjust.

Trump called Zenmour and told him to stay strong on the ideal of France for the French.
Trump announced he will run in 2024 at CPAC. The poll taken makes it clear he will be the nominee. I would have preferred De Santis, but Trump is way ahead. De Santis should either come in as VP or just wait, not waste money and energy trying to beat Trump. He’s doing such a good job in Flordia, maybe waiting would be best.

In 2004, my wife and I watched the Dem keynote speaker, an unknown from Illinois named Obama. I told her that night that that man could think on his feet and speak so well, that he was going to be the next presidential candidate. No great mystery, Americans flock to good off the cuff speakers. Think Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton. Americans like good humor and someone who”talks to them”.
Trump is the last in a line of off the cuff good speakers who can whip up a rally like no one else. Biden cannot speak worth a damn and has never been able to. DeSantis cannot compete. Until Trump is gone, by his own volition, he is it. Right now, sans Covid, the Dems do not stand a chance against this man, and they will pull every shenanigan they can to try to stop him. I hope the GOP can get their act together this time to stop the faux election and support the only good orator that will be running.
BTW, the GOP in Arizona is trying to stop mail-in voting because of the ease of corrupting the vote.
Go Arizona!
I don’t trust him but I’ll vote for him. No Republican can stand against him. And if the voting is gotten under control, no Democrat can either.
Halfway thru his term he said about the immigrants: I want all these people here because the economy is so good. Utter ignorance on every level. A betrayal of the vision he promise us, albeit in vague terms. The devil is in the details. His vision is the same George Bush: Legalize them all and the illegal immigration problem is solved. Utterly fatuous.
Biden is finishing up. He did very well tonight. Good drugs.
It’s a long time til Nov 2024. Trump could be easily replaced by another colorful character we haven’t even heard of yet. Mr. Operation Warp Speed looked a lot less powerful when Twitter swatted him away like an annoying mosquito.
I saw Obama back then too, and right off I knew that he was ‘slicker than snot on a glass doorknob’.
If I have to, I’ll vote for Trump, but we need someone better. Orator is okay, if not meant in the classical sense. Obama was much more of one. But Trump could sure get down with the crowd.
Hail the Grand Generalissimo of Gotham!
“PHOENIX AND LAS VEGAS HAVE GRIM LONG-TERM PROSPECTS. ON TOP OF OIL-AND-GAS PROBLEMS, THEY WILL HAVE TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH WATER AND THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE FOOD LOCALLY. I SUPPOSE IT SHOWS HOW DELUSIONAL THE PUBLIC IS, AND HOW OUR INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS HAVE DECAYED – FOR INSTANCE, LENDING STANDARDS.” – JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER
Sedona, where even the rocks meditate.
Go Arizona!
You think that watching a prepared speech means a person can think on his feet?
Did you ever see Obama speak without notes?
Way worse than William Shatner.
That dude was foisted on the American people by the same machine that is now working them up into a lathered frenzy of war fever.
They are good at what they do.
Back in 2004 Obama was running against a good looking, intelligent lawyer who was actually good at speaking.
He had been married to Jeri Ryan, 7 of 9 in Star Trek, but they got a divorce. The records of the divorce were sealed, due to the salacious details, which they didn’t want their children to know.
Basically, they went to a sex club and he wanted her to have sex in public and she didn’t want to.
Wow! Big scandal. Married couple fight over sex.
Meanwhile, Dick Cheney is hunting teenagers for sport.
Anyway, somehow the records were unsealed, for some unknown reason, the media told us this was the Biggest Most Outrageous Scandal Ever, and Jack Ryan was removed by the Republicans in Illinois and replaced with a crazy black man from Maryland.
Cause that makes sense.
And then Obama won.
And then he gave a speech that we were told ”captured America’s heart” at the DNC.
I will admit that I voted for Obama in 2004, but I learned my lesson.
Never again.

Time to review the real history of the Rise of Hope and Audacity:
Barack Obama was a half white teen age stoner living on the beach in Hawaii and making his living by selling his services to Japanese tourists Two vacationing gay secret service men were taking an early morning walk on the beach when they stumbled upon Barack passed out and stoned out of his mind. They hustled him back to their hotel room where they pleasured themselves with him for a couple of days. Then they were faced with the problem of what to do with him. The most annoying thing about having him around was that he continually babbled in the most erudite of phrases no matter how much cocaine they fed him.
Finally one of the Agents hit upon the perfect solution. Ship him off to the Chicago Cyborg Laboratory where he could be lobotomized and trained as a politician. Barack turned out to be a true phenomenon. A black man who spoke without a trace of ghetto accent— perfect for tickling the guilt buttons of liberals.
And the rest is history. He turned out to be the best wedding party bombing planner in the entire Deep State.
Ha, ha, nice story, Thors, but Obama is actually 3rd generation CIA.
He was even in Indonesia as a child, when his step-father was part of the genocide of 500,000 Indonesians as part of the US-backed coup against Sukarno.
But that coup and genocide were perfectly sane, doncha know.
Not like that crazy Putin!
On the prophesy front, (unapproved Catholics), they are saying the Ruskies will end up in Italy.
Personally, I have just stored 100 gallons + of water in case of nukes.

Amazing how many Blacks are in Ukraine. Ukraine has obviously been under demographic attack for awhile now. The racism against them at least shows that Ukrainians still have healthy instincts and haven’t been ruined like the people of the West.
How many?
nigga pahleeeeez?
those are students paying TWICE the tuition to study at Ukraine state schools.
Ukrainians making money AND practicing racism…
You need to take notes you ass hats.
David Duke is a professor there. They’re probably studying with him, right?
Are they being paid by Soros to be students? Or are they just dumb, paying more and not even understanding the language, just playing with their phones in class?
They don’t have to speak the language. The fees may be more than Ukrainian students pay but they’re peanuts compared to what they’d pay in the US.
You can study medicine in English in a Ukrainian medical school and they mostly don’t even have an entrance exam, although you presumably need the usual school certificates. I imagine you can study anything else in English as well.
https://www.medlinkstudents.com/universities/study-medicine-in-ukraine-in-english/
I have a retired friend who used to teach Economics in an English university. She used to go to Kazakhstan periodically to monitor/help with the courses that the university basically sold to the Kasakhs. It’s big business and has been for decades.
This isn’t limited to black people, rather obviously. There are extensive opportunities to study in English in Europe.
It’s cheaper than in the UK, let alone the US.
Methinks JK and Steven Segal and the usual assortment of tyrant dictators are the only life forms supporting Putin on the planet. The self-evident misguided logic purveying the notion of Russia managing the nation of Ukraine is a good thing is beyond inappropriate. Beware the Ides of March.
Is this one Carghoul too?
Do we really have to ask? 🙂
Could Russia running Ukraine be any worse than what is going on there now?
Of course, the Democrats would no longer be able to squeeze vigs out of THE Ukraine routing the kickbacks through their terrible spawn but hey that would actually be an improvement of sorts.
Ukraine is said to be a major producer of child porn so that business being shutdown would be good for the children of the world.
This is not support for Russia or Putin just trying to find the silver lining in a very bleak situation.
This entire affair has been bungled by everyone involved.
The ‘Felicity Ace’ sank in some 2000 ft of water, 250 miles off the Portugese coast. Do you think any of those autos are recoverable? Imagine, 500 years from now, a team of marine archeologists discovering the wreck and pulling up a mint 2022 Porsche Pantera?
Hmmm?
The ship caught on fire. The crew was evacuated.
Story said she was carrying EVs.
Something about lithium batteries and fire?
fire caused it to sink? proof?
Just Google ship on fire.
There are lots of reports.
Axios, for one, says the fire started on the cargo deck and the presence of so many lithium batteries halted the ability to fight the fire.
Germany et al lost 155 million dollars.
It sank today, from a list rolling it over. I can see cargo rolling over to one side until it capsized.
Went up like a Tesla.
Good times.
Pressure at depth does strange (but entirely predictable) things to compressible objects.
That Pantera quit being mint the second it hit the water, and didn’t age well after that.
Saltwater is horrible to metal and electronics.

There is only one problem in your thesis.The neutral observing party OSCE, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, has not reported any atrocities in recent years. The number of casualties have significantly dropped since the ceasefire in July 2020 until this war.
They were sporadic shellings from both sides from time to time but that has been continuing for 8 years now. It was a frozen conflict trench warfare with little movements from either sides. There were certainly no mass killings happening.
That OSCE party with observers with military backgrounds from various countries was agreed to handle the supervision in the eastern Ukraine conflict areas by ALL THREE PARTIES! Ukraine, Russia and the separatists. So there is that!
Or are they now also lying?! Come on!
The thwack translator indicates that everything Biden says will happen to Russians is ACTUALLY everything that WILL happen to white people in America.
plus trannies, anal parades and rainbow flags….

I need to get me one of them thwack translators! Are they available on Amazon?
Biden’s Arms of Light are reaching out to strangle the mad, prancing, little clown Vladimir Putin, a Hitler redux. Why are short men so evil? Is it compensatory?

More pfizer docs….
https://phmpt.org/pfizers-documents/
From the post above, the annaeva docs, what I got on a cursory look was out of approx 42k trial subjects, up to january 2021, 18% got some form of shingles or something in that medical category, 8%+ got arthritus or similar, between 1 and 3 percent for the rest from anaphylaxis to heart problems, clots, etcetera.
I could not link to the prenatal appendix.
From the graph, over 50k reactions noted, about 7 or 8k serious.
Quick get the Rednut Liberal in here, or the Tucson Slur to tell us it’s all fake.
LOL.
Slur? Rednut? What are we looking at here?
Yah, I saw tuk dissing you downstream. Wtf?
Maybe he still uses giggle & watches the tube. Poor guy.
He’s come in on occasion swinging for the fences about Trump, vaccine conspiracy, etc. All manner of insults were hurled at people who had previously never even engaged him.
He appears to have vaccine-induced autism.
Did some googling about Victoria Nuland and her gruesome hubs, Kagan, today. Was reminded of PNAC.
Also see they are both ugly fat fucks. You can detect the evil emanating from their every pore. These are the kind of flying monkeys/toadies that are treasured by the maniacs who run the show, until they aren’t.

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/coronavirus/pandemic-treaty/
They had a meeting today for a world wide pandemic response.
A legally binding response no less. I read that the same cohort views the Ukraine situation as a perfect pretext for the “cyber pandemic” they gamed out last summer. I saw the prophecy you mentioned upstream. It made me wonder if the Russians will eventually storm the Vatican and set up an Orthodox Patriarch over all of Christendom. I also believe the Russians could lay siege to and capture Paris. The US will be unable to respond as in tandem with the Russians the Chinese will parachute 200 million Chinese soldiers into North America under cloaks of invisibility. The Gog Magog prophecies come to mind. Persia will be with them too.
Ukraine is Kazharia.
“The Jewish Khazars, now called the Ashkenazim, were conquered by the Russians from the north, and many were pushed into Poland, Germany, and other European countries. The Bauer family settled in Hamburg, where they used a red shield as their logo and later adopted the surname Rothschild.
The Rothschilds were especially instrumental in establishing the Israeli state in 1948, and so Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv is named for this family.
Israel’s Declaration of Independence was signed at Independence Hall on Rothschild Boulevard.”
“The point is that The Ukraine in recent years has become the Deep State’s center for money laundering, banking, child trafficking, and many other forms of corruption. It seems clear that the Khazars have been attempting to re-establish the original Khazar Kingdom in The Ukraine. The recent attempt to take Kazakhstan, which failed, was actually an attempt to enlarge the Deep State’s territory to the Khazar Kingdom’s original borders. Russia intervened and prevented this coup from succeeding.”
Take it all back. ? One wonders.

The surgical implant was a success, but the patient may die.
Go Putin. Put up your dukes, put up your nukes.
It seems like some people have an appetite for nukes. I find it implausible, though I think a very limited use of them is possible. It seems like this is all about resouces, territory, and human resources and the aquiring and accumulation thereof. And now that the Western alliance countries have decided to crater the global economy in repsonse it only appears that the situation will spiral further out of control.
Look at the Tsar Bomba:
https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a23306/nuclear-bombs-powerful-today/
Maybe much smaller ones could find limited use, but the problem of course is escalation.

He decides to nuke the rednecks and he calls it: Operation Fried Okra-homa’.
Nathaniel Rothschild, “Without the Ukraine the global order may not…”
Heir to the Rothschild family, Nathaniel Rothschild, today wrote to members of the British government, giving his view that Vladimir Putin is “the most dangerous man since the defeat of Hitler, with Xi Jinping a close second,” and explained that, “Ukraine is an essential piece that we cannot afford to lose, in the geopolitical chessboard.”
The heir to the Rothschild fortune argued that, “Russia must be excised from the international banking and economic system. We must bring Russia to its knees through any means possible, to send a strong signal to the Chinese and to protect our global system of norms and liberal values.”
“We must be under no illusions: if we allow Vladimir Putin to seize Ukraine, it will send a signal to our enemies, Iran, China and North Korea especially, that we will do nothing when faced with an onslaught of force.
In effect, our current path, of lack of military action, means that our global order is dead on its feet. I urge you to deploy more force against Russia and its proxies, step up “information warfare” to correct opinion, especially online, and send weaponry to our friends in Ukraine. Without Ukraine, the global order may not survive.
Biden calls it an unprovoked attack. Unprovoked. The world knows better, but the agenda is set. The likes of Trump, Putin, and Viktor Orban, etc. must be toppled like statues, even killed because they are alive and much more dangerous.
It’s a horrible thought, but nukes may be the only answer Putin has to stop this global, geopolitical gangrene. The elites may have been reminded that sometimes the Bear gets you. Paradoxically, maybe nukes could save us, sending us back to that ‘world made by hand’.
Changing your tune on the Trumpster now, too.
The Tucson Slur.
LOL.
Assuming the election is actually legitimate next time (LOL!), that should be campaign issue number one. Revoking the right of rule for these unelected, unaccountable, and totally malignant globalist organizations. If it’s not – and it almost certainly won’t be – we’ll know that the fix is in once again.

Joe Biden, a legend in his own mind, but he is having a hard time finding himself there lately. Too many cobwebs and dark areas, meeting people and he can’t remember their names.
Thwacked @ 9:17pm: Too big a responsibility homo eh home BOY. Two days out from Mombasa, my buddy Chi (I know, you’re thinking he’s mex, no from Chicago, an American city west ((left)) of Baltimore). So Chi is ALL excited. Having been to Africa prior,I was aware of the non acceptance of American blacks and tried to convey it – no go. Poor Chi, I came up on him sitting on a curb, head in hands. “You’re not black (African), you’re American”. Sucks to not have a home to go back to. Find a curb, sit down, adjust to it Thwacker. If you ask nice, I’ll let you come to southern virginni and wash my trucks.
Meanwhile, back in EV land, reality is setting in.
The vaunted Rivian, which had a company market value of $100 billion despite not having sold any trucks, announced yesterday that the price on their bare bones model (range 250 miles) has increased slightly — from $70,000 to $84,000. That’s not including the $15,500 subscription which is necessary to charge and operate the vehicle.
Then Ford announced they’ve raised the base price of the new F150 EV, the one President Biden raved about, from a marginally affordable $39,000 (which I never believed) to $69,000.
The problem is thousands of people have put down deposits on these trucks based on the original announced price.
EVs are just another component of the Great Reset.
You and I were never meant to own one.
There are other puzzling aspects to the EV companies, Owl.
For example, without having sold any trucks or even apparently manufactured any for sale, Rivian has announced it is building a 2nd factory in Georgia to meet ‘unexpected and unprecedented demand.’
Similarly, Lucid (which I haven’t seen any on the road, and if they were available the people who live around here would be the kind of people who would buy one) is purportedly building a massive new plant in Saudi Arabia, again, to meet overwhelming demand in Europe.
Maybe there is an immense market for these things that needs to be met I don’t know. But from here it looks like an enormous scam that’s falling apart pretty quick, not even 6 months after their $100 billion IPOs.
Very interesting comments, BRH.
I read VW is idling facilities because of parts shortages from…the Ukraine.
EVs need arm-twisting. They cost more to buy. They are a pain to charge.
The AV is what we are not meant to own. The autonomous vehicle is an Uber without a driver.
It is easier to make an AV from EV. EV is the gateway to AV. AV will be touted as safe (zero accidents/fatalities), clean (zero emissions), and smart (zero congestion).
If (once?) a certain level of EV saturation is reached, they will make life difficult for ICE vehicle owners (eg higher registration fees). Will it be compelling enough for people to abandon ICE? I don’t know. But manufacturing motor vehicles is a huge enterprise. It is easy for government to ban manufacture or sale of new ICE vehicles.
Then the cycle will repeat for AV. Then you will go where and when “the man” decides.
Last year we were told to bump elbows and the handshake was relegated to history. Last night Slo Joe coughed into his right hand probably 12-15 times during his speech. As soon as he wrapped up with his weirdass “Go Get Him” statement he turned around and gave Nance a nice handshake. I hope she gets the cooties. Then he promptly invaded the crowd and proceeded to shake a hundred hands. “The Science” has changed doncha’ know.
The stupidity of people touching each other during flu season has been an issue forever. Imagine sneezing into your hand and then shaking hands with everyone if you have the flu.
One of the good things about Covid is it allowed people to realize the importance of common sense contamination avoidance techniques. A more spreadable virus hits, and flu disappears for a year. Probable relabeling of flu as Covid may be part, but better hygiene including hand washing helps too.
Most people already had common sense about how to conduct themselves is they think they might have caught something. They didn’t need it drummed into them at every turn as though they were in kindergarten.
I do not believe “most” do. I do think folks need reminders.
The SOTU last night was given by a man in real mental decline.
The slurring, the forgetfulness, the mumbling.
The speech itself was predictable. The delivery was abnormal. Of course, the MSM is telling you something completely different. Use your own ears to decide for yourself.
As usual, I couldn’t bring myself to watch more than a few snippets of this annual performance drivel, but The Guardian seems to have summed it up pretty well for me this morning:
Opinion
Joe Biden
Biden’s state of the union address: a perfect summation of his presidency
Moira Donegan
The US president has good intentions, with only halting, sporadic, uncreative, and trepidatious efforts to actually enact them
***************
There’s always something a bit grim about the State of the Union. A setpiece of American political theater, the annual speech by the president to a joint session of Congress is choreographed to eliminate any chance of accidental sincerity. The president speaks in carefully calibrated spin; every word sounds like it has been focus-grouped. Members of the opposition party make a show of their animosity, vamping for the cameras with either staid, dignified displeasure or ravenous hatred, depending on where they are running for re-election. No one’s mind is changed and little new information is delivered. By its nature, the speech is meant to describe the status quo. It is not meant to change it.
…
In this way, the speech was a perfect summation of Biden’s presidency: good intentions, with only halting, sporadic, uncreative, and trepidatious pursuit of actually enacting them. Unlike his predecessor, Biden tends to stay on script, but the State of the Union speech featured several ad libs – a product, some suspected, of the multiple revisions the speech was subjected to at the last minute, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine placed new demands on the broadcast. The last of these was probably the most apropos: “Go get him,” Biden told the nation. Him who? Get him how? It didn’t make sense, but so little of this does.
*************
Yep, ’bout what I expected.
No doubt Jo Jo Magoo felt proud of his big last line. He’s a pro at the Duper’s Delight smile, that’s for sure.
What was with Nanny Pelosi rubbing her knuckles together while making a bizarre face?
These people are nuts.
Weird watching those two in the background while he was pontificating. Jiggles to the left of him, Joker to the right, here we are, stuck in the middle with Joe.
It honestly reminded me of a Nazi rally.
Well at least the “Dodderin’ Codger in Chief” didn’t tell us his “Butt’s been wiped” at the end.
Dis
I lasted about ten minutes. I had a hard time looking at the three of them up there thinking this is what is running my country.
I basically zoned out and watched Pelosi try every trick she knew to suppress her tardive dyskinesia. She could smile and focus while sitting, but that tongue started poking out every time she rose and applauded.
I wonder which drug did that to her. Meclizine? I noticed that she almost fell over, once, but caught herself.
I see or hear about the patiotic Ukraines and their heroic efforts fighting off Vlad’s murderous Russian forces. They hand out automatic weapons to grandmothers and desperately need ammunition. All I find are the same videos replayed over and over of some missile strikes on communication centers. Where are the videos of an actual shooting war with firefights? Everbody has a camera these days. Is anybody actually shooting at each other over there? Ukraine news agency reports over 2000 civilians dead and that number is certainly low? Sounds like BS to me.
Abounding BS.
Same things with UFOs. Once everyone had a camera on them, they stopped being seen.
“All’s Quiet on the Western Front”

Supposedly a long convoy outside of Kiev, It’s been there for days but stalled due to logistics. No fuel or supplies. The Russians staged on the border for weeks/months and they don’t have fuel? That’s pretty lame. It’s not like Russia doesn’t have any fuel.What are they Germany in 1945? Are they that incompetent.? Um, OK. But Covid is over so there’s that.
St. Elmo’s
It sure does sound fishy. Is this the war of words, propaganda?
Forty miles of motorized vehicles stalled because of lack of gas, from Russia?
Every interview on our MSM seems to be with older men and especially women with kids. A million women and children have left Ukraine with their men left behind. Where are the interviews with the fighters?
Could it be that the real story is that only a small percentage of the population are really behind the corrupt government of Ukraine in the Eastern zone? Russian folks there may control the countryside and the cities, two of them are the only bastion for the remaining Ukrainians. I noticed on Fox’s action map this AM that incursions are only happening in the East.
My guess is that once Kiev and the other two cities are under siege, it will be over, the Eastern countryside will join in with the Russians or just capitulate. To them, they are just switching sides, AGAIN, and life goes on.
Where are the refugees coming from? Kiev? If Kiev is neutralized and Zelensky skedaddles will the war be over. Will the Russians then allow the refugees to return home?
There is the real rub. What is the Russian based future of the Ukraine. The media idiots are buying the line of a Ukraine victory, although that is changing today. Once the war is over, soon, what is Putin going to do with his new acquisition?
Place defensive missiles, annex East Ukraine, put defensive border on the Dneiper River, divide Kiev to decrease power influence of Ukraine, rebuild the cities, smile and wait for all the Western idiots realize they are losing way too much by fighting Russia, continue working with China to put the final nails into the US coffin, including finishing off the dollar.
For the future, look to Asia, Siberia, China. This debacle in Ukraine has finally shown the world what a paper tiger the US and its NATO Allies really are.
Can you imagine? In the Soviet Union, it was taught that the US English alliance during WW2 was a minor effort against Hitler compared to the Eastern front. Ukraine certainly has helped their propaganda mill.
Korea, VietNam, Iraq, Afghanistan, all boots on the ground US debacles. All of them half assed efforts to control Communism. Now our primary Communist enemy, Tlaib’s Worker’s Party, counters the Democratic SOTU. I could hardly believe the fact she was fronting for a third Communistic Worker’s party and was allowed a national audience by our media. The Pax Americana era is just about over.
I assume they’re giving people time to flee as per the Saker. They’ll then surround the city, with one exit, to allow non-fighters to keep fleeing.
I assume they’ve been taking heavy fire from downtown Kharkiv and thus returned it, destroying a historic building.
Agree 100%
Putin knows he is going to get beat up world wide.
Minimum effect.
Let all the civilians leave as they wish.
Shut the door and uphold a siege until they give up. There will be few die hards once the siege begins.
“.What are they Germany in 1945”

You would do well to discount much of what news is coming out of (the) Ukraine.
Trust…but verify.
I don’t trust.
I’ve just learned of 2 people – one that I know of and one that I knew – in their 40’s who have dropped dead. Also I know someone’s sister who got jabbed and one week later got shingles in her ear, and now months later still can’t hear too well on that side.
I seem to recall people talking about some others who died, but no one I knew.
As for me, the arthritis in my hips is now making walking and bending much more difficult. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said I should have a hip replacement. Uh, uh. When I was in Florida we walked every day in the warm weather and my hip stopped hurting. Unfortunately the weather in Boston is too cold for me to walk comfortably, but next week it should warm up here.
When I was in Florida, I got gastroenteritis, aka intestinal flu, for 3 days. I once had it when I was 12 years old, and it was probably the sickest I’ve ever been. This time I didn’t vomit, but I felt lousy. Then I got better, and a week later I got vertigo, which I still have, although now less severe. There is an exercise one does to get rid of it, but it makes one very, very dizzy for a few minutes and is quite uncomfortable. I gotta do it either today or tomorrow. Today I go to the dentist to have 3 cavities filled, the first ones I’ve had in years.
In a few months I turn 77. Ain’t old age grand?
Ya think it’s just aging, or is it the result of the jabs? I’m beginning to wonder.
Sounds like age to me, Bill. I’m only 64 and have similar ailments from time to time. Gave up hiking last year because of hip arthritis, which, strangely enough, the surgeon said there was no evidence for on the X-Rays. PC guy told me to get an MRI and pursue it, but I considered all the options and decided to follow the surgeon’s advice and just knock off the hiking. Lo and behold, now I can do actual dumbbell squats again with light weights (high reps) to strengthen my hips and glutes, which was probably the problem all along. Switched to resistance band upper body training from free weights as well, after mysteriously blowing out BOTH rotator cuffs last summer (VERY painful) doing bench presses. Insurance company gave me the third degree, figuring this had to be vehicle accident related. Top that off with a LifeCycle stationary bike I picked up 20 years ago for a song ($2000+ bike, for $100), and I feel pretty good these days, but the day to day mystery aches and pains remain a blessing or a curse of old age, depending on how you look at them.
Bottom line, I’d think long and hard before going under the knife for a total hip. That’s a major surgery and a good outcome is definitely not guaranteed.
Dis
Good advice. Surgeons sell a bogus “no problems” picture of surgeries. I have witnessed many botched surgeries and their after effects. My mother was one, they turned her into a cripple.
Surgery should be absolute last resort. For example, going into a wheelchair should be an alternative.
Watch out for MDs with their experimental procedures. My neighbor, bad knees, was told that a new hyuralic ??? acid injection would allow the cartilage to regenerate and might stop the need for surgery. $10000 to an anesthesiologist and almost $100000 to the MD was not covered by insurance because it was experimental. What a crock! His fault to a degree by not challenging the procedure prior to it use and trusting the MD. He is now recovering from his first knee replacement.
They did that to my mom, too. Didn’t work.
Her knee replacement did.
Yeah, I forgot to mention, his injection did nothing.
But his bank account is probably NOT recovering so well…
Also, Dis
I have noticed that a lot of golfers have hip and knee with spinal problems on their left sides.
I started having left hip and lower left back muscle pain while playing golf this last year.
Solution quit playing regular golf. Problem disappeared overnight.
Think overuse syndrome plus the effects of anti-cholesterol drugs. Muscles do not recover as well when statins are involved.
Part of aging, medical,y, is the acknowledgement of all sorts of overuse syndrome by both the patients and the MDs. Our bodies lose their resiliency with age, so simple, take care of them.
A good example, male performance enhancing testosterone boosters. We males age, PSAs rise. I expect an epidemic of prostate cancer in about twenty years. Testosterone and estrogen are deadly threats in old age, so do not enhance them.
JAZ, there’s some correlation between high PSA and prostate cancer, but having high PSA doesn’t mean you necessarily have prostate cancer.
Yep, those old competitive urges get so many of us weekend warriors in trouble. Overuse injuries are probably the root cause for nearly all chronic sports injuries.
Most hip replacements I have heard of have been successfu.
But I hadn’t heard of that many . . . More knee replacements, actually.
One woman I know, somehow she ended up with one leg shorter than the other.
They had made some kind of mistake.
She went under the knife again to try ti fix it, but hard to fix when too short (as opposed to too long).
Long story short, it is still not fixed and now she walks with a cane. Visibley aged.
Try everything thing you can think of before going under the knife.
Walk in a mall, if it is too cold or icy outdoors.
Walk walk walk. Don’t stop walking.
I hear you.
My mothers legs were 11/2 inches different after knee surgeries. She was crippled from sciatica while walking. Discovered too late.
Think S proteins and your apparent immune sensitivity to the inflammation it may be causing in various areas of your body. Old age may be adding onto the issue.
I notice that a lot of the jab reactions approximate others getting the Covid itself.
Is the s protein the common factor? This maybe the worst decision in medical history, to use the s protein for the antigen.
Try researching dietary means to reduce inflammation. IMHO, reducing your immune thermostat is necessary. Good luck!
“Try researching dietary means to reduce inflammation”
Take gelatin dissolved in juice every day;
Take anti-inflammatories.
There are other “joint compounds” you can take.
Eat plenty of organ meats (lots of minerals).
It’s not either/or. The Jab is designed to make every existing condition worse. The people in their 40’s who died? That’s probably from the Jab.
Didn’t Mr Kunstler get a new hip, which turned out to be bad, causing him a couple of years of pain until replaced?
We do not disagree much. It will never be proved that all the decision making in the development intentionally tried to make a lethal vaxx. Right now, it is still totally opinion that it was intentional.
IMHO, it was intentional by a group of developers of the mRNA approach to push their agenda forward. The political reaction pushed it into the public and was the real cause of the big push, the mandates. Both political groups participated in the panic of 2020. I believe that the flaws in their approach need to be PROVED, not someone’s opinion, and the technology halted permanently.
It is just starting as Pfizer info and the credibility of the CDC are both being explored.
Again, IMHO, the choice of the s protein as the immune stimulator was a huge mistake. We basically shot bodies with the equivalent of Covid as they overreacted to the protein.
One of my fears, as I have said before, is the variability of injections access to the bloodstream. Their models acknowledge that blood exposure is to be avoided. How much was never determined. Now we hear of DNA modification in the liver is occurring. Liver involvement was a have-to-avoid according to the models.
Unintentional?
Look up ”gain of function” biowarfare.
The whole point is to take viruses or bacteria and make them more lethal and/or communicable.
There are 11 US bioweapon labs in Ukraine.
Paula
The vaxx!
The Covid itself needs to be investigated to find its source, paramount importance.
Internationally, if what is suspected is true, these virologists are worse than Mengele.
If so, oil up the guillotine.
“There are 11 US bioweapon labs in Ukraine.”
More delusional bullshit…

“Again, IMHO, the choice of the s protein as the immune stimulator was a huge mistake”
John, do you think it likely that four supposedly competing companies individually came up with the same huge mistake?
And then took turns to test (on the unwitting population) batches that were particularly ‘mistaken’?
Re the virus, I gave you a link to Dr Shankara Chetty on the last thread. It is a really interesting interview, in terms of the working of the virus and the spike protein, plus the treatment that works for each stage of the disease*. He mentions the reasons that led him to conclude the virus was engineered.
*I think he said he’d treated 10,000 covid patients. Only 4 died, and they were patients whose families took them out of Dr Chetty’s care to send them to hospital, where they succumbed, in the absence of his treatment.
Bill,
Medical professionals do not want to widely disseminate the fact that…old age is a death sentence! Very few survive old age..even some billionaires die of it.. You and I both got it…bad.
Indulge yourself in any habit, good or bad, that you might have. Enjoy your remaining days.
Count your blessings.
I do mine.
Excellent advice. And in many cases (like mine!), stop being so damn competitive, relax a whole lot more, and enjoy the ride on the way out.
Yeah, I enjoy my days (and nights, heh,), and never forget how grateful and appreciative I am to have lived this long.
btb, surely after reading this blog, you’ve realized that whatever ailment strikes you now, post-vaccination, is OBVIOUSLY a result of the jab. “Everyone knows that”…
If you take a look at Pfizer’s released trial data, you’ll get an idea of the variety of illnesses that are likely to be a result of the jab.
If you’ve got ingrown toenails, on the other hand, it’s probably safe to say you’d have got them anyway.
It’s patterns that matter. Patterns like mortality in 18 to 65-year-olds increasing by 40%. And hundreds of athletes dropping dead of heart attacks when you normally get 7 or 8 in a year. That sort of thing.
https://goodsciencing.com/covid/athletes-suffer-cardiac-arrest-die-after-covid-shot/
‘Whatever ailment’ is a straw man, as you knew when you wrote it.
My friend, 63 male, got vertigo after the jab. HIs doctor told him specifically that was the reason.
Looks like a bruise on Biden’s forehead. What’s left of a snakebite?
Jiggles slapping him in the head for flubbing his lines in practice.
Maybe an accumulation of him slapping his own forehead after each screw up.
I don’t think he knows when he screws up.
LOL! The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
It’s Ash Wednesday?

The candy mans’ confidence game is ending in financial scorched earth, with runaway inflation, record homeless, oligarch wealth, and urban destruction.
In the U.S. – Russian escalation, it is a matter of which old republic civilization crumbles faster within, while China, supported by Euro-American oligarchs and the WEC, emerges as the sole superpower, in closing out the decade. 6+ decades in planning, now in end game is execution.
Runaway increases in residential property valuations accelerate taxes on fixed incomers and the working poor, driving more feudal property acquisitions by BlackRock, further accelerating property valuations, constricting supply, and creating a permanent renter class, who own nothing.
These community and civilization-destroying actions are by design.
ALL Time and Energy are BEST spent building OUT the hyper-localized New, NOT fighting the old.
GODSPEED!
Another one for Redneck & co:

What’s so surprising, MaryQ?
“With current high levels of vaccination and high levels of population immunity from both vaccination and infections, the risk of medically significant disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 is greatly reduced”
This thing is almost over.
Not really. The birth defects, peoples’ destroyed immune systems, etc. are just beginning. So are the lawsuits.
Sorry but the powers that be have already admitted masks don’t work and neither do the vaccines. We’re about to find out how many peoples’ lives they’ve destroyed. Stay tuned!
*Yawn*. I’ll wait till the news is NOT from CFN Blogroll.
I decided that I’m not going to try to figure anything out anymore. There is an idea floating around which maybe you have heard that the Ukraine war is actually a giant false flag psyop. Putin has ties to Schwab and others within the inner circles of the inner circles. So the idea is that this is all one big coordinated effort to destroy the dollar and replace the currency system among other things and Putin is an active participant so all of this sanctions stuff is theatrical and performative. I’ve also determined that I am way more Jewish than you will ever be lol 😉
That thought’s crossed my mind as at least a remote possibility. If true, and I don’t think it is, we’re ALL royally screwed.
Yup!
iow the kitten better have a caboodle lol
LOL! Goes without saying, doesn’t it? If you’re going to keep kittens, you’ve GOTTA have a caboodle to keep them safe!
Think US and EU, Britain included,
Versus the Russia China axis.
Right now Asia including the Middle East seems to be siding with the Axis.
The US government is doing the absolute worst thing possible by trying to shut down fossil fuels. Right now the most obvious reaction to Ukraine is it’s impact on the distribution and cost of oil. Our government is screwing us right into the wall. We are still 98% dependent on gasoline car wise.
Please someone lock up John Kerry, guilty of total incompetence and consequent destruction of the United States.
Putin, Xi are starting a final push at tearing down the US. How the globalists fit into this will become obvious shortly, IMHO.
Which means some of our biggest enemies are among us and are presumably us
Exactly!
What do you think? Do you think that Biden’s crew are tied into the American public or to the globalist, WEF groups?
The answer is so incredibly obvious.
And it is not us! It has not been us since Obama with a respite with Trump.
The publics fault is the stupid acceptance of these enemies of the country.
Yes I agree. I think they have also literally hypnotized the population into this acceptance. When the hypnosis is disrupted enough then some people will wake up. Unfortunately this is because the WEF affiliates have all of the institutional power at the moment.
That thought has been on my mind since the whole thing began.
If the MSM is pushing it – there is something fake there. For sure.
All we can do is sit back and watch the shit show.
Seeing the Zelensky dancing videos and his dancing with the stars videos and then watching how seemingly impractical his appearances have been with the whole invasion thing just makes me think it is all a big show. It’s just a theory
Think Disney!
Is Putin the only guy around that does not work for Disney?
Same. Who knows these days? I keep learning that more and more of these world leaders are just actors put in place to carry out the WEF agenda.
This is hilarious:
https://youtu.be/O3t8OThP658
Haha, that was a funny video. Loves how he does all the witty over speech pointing out all of the absurdities.
Biden’s eyes sure were squinty throughout the speech.
Given Zelensky’s past in the entertainment industry, it is no wonder why Putin wants to see him exterminated.
Kinda doubt Putin gives a shit about Zelenskyy. Just a hunch. He knows what a useful idiot he is.
Lol and his eyes are super squinty. Maybe he should wear glasses or something. It would actually be much more presentable as opposed to those squinting, struggling eyes.
Putin is negotiating a settlement with Zelensky.
He is not ”exterminating” him.
It is up to Zelensky to cooperate or he can try his luck as an expatriate in Poland.
We are certainly being psyoped. None of this is actually real. The Russians are trying to break through the matrix and the evil powers that currently comprise the West are fighting tooth and nail against it.
It certainly looks that way with all the coordinated marketing etc.
Are the Russians actually in Ukraine?
Is humanity the science project or ant farm of an alien child?
Those were exactly my thoughts. There are parades, protests, food drives, social media virtue signaling. Sad women and children that need help. Fake stories. Headlines– “Ukraine in Crisis.” Have seen all of this before. Same playbook. Nothing different than the run up to the bailouts in 2008, and the run up to the scamdemic. It is the run up to something else. Cyber Polygon ran in July 2021. This might be the aftermath.
Putin has no ties to Schwab and/or the latter’s inner circle
Klaus Schwab disagrees with you. But he could by lying too so
https://youtu.be/RxtiD8Z6gBI
Of course I have seen that.
Per Martin Armstrong, Putin has no ties to Schwab.
He may have spoken to him at some point. So has Armstrong, and a lot of people.
I am sure Schwab would have loved to snag Putin.
I would lay money on Putin’s saying, “Uh, no thanks.”
Putin is fundamentally a nationalist and a patriot.
Furthermore, Putin didn’t need Schwab to get where he is, unlike the likes of Ardern, Trudeau, and others.
Yeltsin tapped Putin to be his successor in 1999 as the result of a complex maneuver in the inner workings of the Russian Federation. I seriously doubt that Schwab was sitting on Yeltsin’s shoulder when this transpired. Yeltsin was under a lot of pressure. It was an internal deal.
If you have any evidence other than Schwab’s statement at Harvard, show it.
Yeah, I can see it’s all making your brain hurt, right?
https://youtu.be/MrCPIrs90eg
I was only joking lol. I know some of my jokes are lame. Oh hush! Some of your jokes are lame too lol

What happened to Pete Buttgieg, Sec. of Transportation? Last I heard he was on maternity leave, learning to chest feed. Could he possibly still be on maternity leave? We’re not hearing much about the port log jam on the west coast; does that mean the problem has been solved? That’s within the purview of the Transportation Dept. and if indeed Buttgieg did travel to Long Beach — and using his masculine and commanding presence — sorted it out, he deserves credit.
He is also a hologram?
Keeping a low profile because of this?

Butieguy probably gave ’em a slip of the ol’ in-out in-out too!
HECK,
I was at library last week. ITS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
Also I learned overdue library fines ‘will no longer be enforced.’
[disparate impact?]
Well there was a local nut / criminal who had to wear an ankle bracelet, caught stealing rare library books.
And we wanted to get an ordinary [out of print] book there
called ‘The mask of sanity’. It is valuable. It had been stolen, I guess.
Buttigieg IS a Schwab man, or mannlein.
Can’t stop laughing!!

At least the weather is always nice down there for the homeless snowbirds.
Do you think this increase in homelessness is a direct result of Biden’s inflation? Like the Hoovervilles of 1930s America, should we start calling these new encampments Bidenvilles?
Bidenvilles – I like that.
cute
Hiya.
Looked it up, estimated 7400 in Phoenix. Police periodically move them around, some are given motel vouchers, tent cities along the highways, parking lots filling up, the suburbs are getting homeless buildups.
The cause? MSM says high real estate costs. IMHO, it is a sign of a declining economy nationwide. Want proof of JHKs economic decline, just look at the streets, it is already here. Think it is bad now? Wait and see what effect the inflation and gas prices are going to have.
Economic fallout, druggies, bums, single parent families, mentally ill, comprise a lot of the homeless.
Ready for this? Phoenix is giving the homeless black trash bins to store their possessions in, they are in patrolled storage areas, caused because so much thievery was going on.
People wonder how homeless handle the cold of the north, I do not know how they handle 110 + degrees here.
TS. How is Tucson doing?
Jo Jo Magoo promised $1 billion in assistance to Ukraine and all the muppets clapped about it.
Where is the money to rebuild what this mofo destroyed over the past year in THIS country?
It is basically a giant money laundering scheme. They are sending US dollars to prop up the Ukraine economy, and as a result JoJo Magoo and his cokehead son Hunter get millions of dollars in kickbacks. How is this not illegal?
It’s only illegal if someone prosecutes it. Gah!
Which is why Biden bragged about having the prosecutor fired.
Of course it is illegal to give IMF money to a country which is killing its own people, too.
So that’s two laws Biden broke in service of his cokehead son’s cushy job with the corporation illegally stealing Ukrainian gas.
Spot on, Paula.
Now that is white supremacy!! Are you actually expecting something from this government you non POC lol? You better pay up for equity and for the love of the climate!
Last night’s designated survivor, was Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, former governor of The Peoples Republic of Rhode Island. Hell, even the demons are smart enough not to mess with Washington during the SOTU speech with her in that role.

@dis:
I used to work out before my hip problem. I already had a degenerated L5 disc, but it didn’t stop me from going to the gym. Now, every time I work out my hip/back really hurts. I now believe I was overdoing it, so I stopped working out. It’s amazing how much muscle mass I’ve lost since then.
Basically, I’m going to exercise like you said above – those were my thoughts, too. I’ll do squats with only 10# weights, and arm exercises with low weights and many reps. Know what got me to consider this?My wife loves water exercises with styrofoam weights and a noodle and has been nagging me to do the same. Well, since we were in Florida, I finally did it, and was amazed. Moving these extremely light weights in the water was not easy. We were standing in the water and talking to another couple for about an hour, and all the while I was exercising with the styrofoam weights. When I got out of the water, I discovered I was very worked out! That’s why I’m going to go light weight and high rep, as well as walk a lot.
Sounds like a plan, Bill. Light weights and normal walking is almost always a good addition for us older folks.
Yep, I started out with 10# weights for the squats too, and while I was still hiking I didn’t dare do any more than that. Left me stiff and sore for days. The hiking had me so stiff and sore from all the repetitive motion that I pretty much couldn’t even squat down or bend over, for fear of the hip and low back pain that would follow, making yard work and routine chores nearly impossible. But being the hard head than I am, it took me years to finally say enough is enough, there simply MUST be a better way.
Same with the resistance bands. I was a die hard dumbbell guy. Been using them for years. But I took a leap of faith with the bands, and after a year of using them more and more and studying up on the internet and my Physical Therapist about the physiology of my sudden shoulder ailments (heavy bench presses are anathema for older folks, a proven method for rotator cuff injuries), I have pretty much completely transitioned now. I use the dumbbells just for squats (I’m up to 40# (x 2) on occasional heavy days, but usually do 20s or 25s, 16 rep sets, sandwiched between 5-9 minute bike intervals at progressive resistance) and bench supported bent rows. Greatly increased my flexibility, overall strength, and most of all, my motivation. Instead of dreading those 3-6 hour mountain hike slogs, I literally can’t wait to get at the weights and the bike.
Also, for low back and torso work, the AbCoaster has been a lifesaver. Google it. It’s a real, genuine, gym quality piece of serious exercise equipment. You can pick them up cheap too, usually 2nd hand from the people who bought them thinking it was just a swingset and then found out otherwise.
Swimming/water resistance is the BEST exercise, so easy on your body.
You all sound really smart about your analyses.
In support, think about NFL guys that only last 20 years at most because they cannot heal fast enough between games.
All our systems slow down with recovery after overuse or injury. High impact workouts are injuries to older folks.
Think maybe increased damage from workouts might age us faster? Some investigators think so.
As I got older I eased into swimming, and I still bicycle, but I walk too, and don’t do so much hiking.
It really does not make sense to do sports that tear down your body after 45-50, IMHO. What’s the point?
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Gets rid of pesky gravity.
Also best for heart, oxygen exchange.
A part of me is kind of enjoying the Ukraine fiasco, though I feel bad for the innocents who are scared out of their minds or worse.
Reminds me of when the Russkies went into Syria and the surrounding area and absolutely destroyed Obama/NATO’s proxy army of headchoppers.
I recall cheering at one point.
Same here, Owl. Seeing all the talking heads, third-rate celebs and Twatterati frothing at the mouth with faux outrage is delightful.
They’re having a hard time dealing with the fact that somebody (Putin) has stood up to them after years of pushing everyone around with the Covid scam. It’s all the same people – the hand-wringing, virtue-signalling bleeding hearts. The hypocrisy and asymmetry is off the scale.
Cheers, Slug.
I like the idea of Putin vs. the Great Reset Ghouls but I doubt it’s that simple.
In any case, the Ghouls do not like losing, as we can see from all the virtue-signaling on steroids, and the desperation.
Up thread I firmly supported Putin. Distort that, night gnat.
Same. If they are gonna throw a circus, I’m gonna laugh.
And yeah, I feel sorry for the duped and the pawns but it is what it is.
Oh yeah, NO, remember Holocaust Aleppo!! They were outraged that Russia was going to kill their terrorists!
I thought that propaganda couldn’t get more over-the-top than that, but they are outdoing themselves this week.
Time to clear up some misrepresentations regarding some of my positions on this blog. First, on Trump. As many here know, I’ve been one of his biggest supporters all along, except for the way he handled the covid. Even here, it was a question of what position on the covid would benefit him more politically, rather than the issues with the virus itself. Voted for him before, and if he’s the candidate I’ll vote for him again.
Second, on the virus itself. I still don’t believe it was a conscientious effort to kill or maim much of humanity. I do believe that the vaccines were bungled in a major way, and that data on adverse events was suppressed, and that money, power, and control were factors attached to pushing the vaccines. I also believe that the virus did come from a lab in China through gain of function research. This kind of research should be stopped now and forever.
I have been, and still am against the mandates, whether on masks or the vaccines, especially on kids.
Misrepresentation and distortion are tools often used by those who don’t really have much to offer on their own.
We can all go back and read your posts, attacking some of us (who have been right about everything) as deranged conspiracy nuts, and proceeding to endorse trolls like Cargill/Ian.
You are a limp penis.
Tucson,
fair enough, although nobody’s parsing chapter and verse of anyone’s take on things. My own views have evolved, in part thanks to more adequate theories presented here.
Owl,
surely you’ve heard of noblesse oblige. An opinion is not set in stone, it evolves over time. You have changed my mind over some things. Maybe tucson is going through something similar. You used to have epic fights w Alba, and now she too has come to accept you were right. This blog will not exist forever. I’d use it to feed our minds with meaningful conversation, not anger, while it’s still around.
I think it’s the hypocrisy that gets to N.O. but I could be wrong.
Check this video, at the 0:31 second mark. Was this a Freudian slip by Biden, or is he really racist because he thinks all these wars should be in the Middle East and not on the doorstep of Europe?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/biden-mistakenly-calls-ukrainian-people-iranian/vi-AAUvNPF?ocid=msedgntp
Since when have we been such good buddies with the Ukrainians anyways? With the way they make it sound, it appears we have been their best buddies in the world for decades now!
Go back and watch old clips of him shouting “nigger” around his constituents, or where he refers to black kids as roaches in his epic “hairy legs” rant.
This guy is a kid-fiddling, racist, sack of shit, who has destroyed lives around the world.
Everything he accuses others of. One of the sickest motherfuckers in politics.
A creep, a creep, he is indeed a creep!
‘Putin may circle Kiev with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,’ Biden said.
Oh yeah, but Biden is totally with it and not suffering from Alzheimer’s or dimensia, sure….
Like you said, Freudian slip. Iran has always been the greatest and most elusive prize for the DC/London Zionist pigs. It’s the key that unlocks the middle east and gives them an ideal launching point for wars against both Russia and China.
Quite possible Biden is privy to some information about when and how his cronies will next orchestrate some action in Iran. Maybe Iran is next on the chopping block? Watch for false flag events to come.
No! Did he say that????
Agree.
I saw that one’s stripes back during the Anita Hill hearings.
Total sack of shit liar.
His kids are all big messes, that should tell us all we need to know.
By his actions for 20+ years, he has shown that he disdains Iranians, Syrians, Iraqis, Ukrainians (except for the nazi ones) and Russians.
So it would be no slip for him to admit it.
well this didn’t age well:
TIME Correspondent, Simon Shuster, travels to Ukraine in the summer of 2019 to investigate white supremacists militias that are recruiting people to join their fight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy910FG46C4
I suspect all these liberal media sources never thought the day would come when they would have to support and defend these WHITE SUPREMACISTS?
So is Putin still a crazy genocidal madman?
lol
thwack,
ages ago, I’d try to inform my enlightened and progressive friends about the paradox you mention. Show them actual photos of guys posing with NATO and nazi flags, historical context and whatnot.
They’d just deny it, not believe it, call it conspiracy. No way Barack & Hill would do that. No way Osama would be a CIA asset. Strange stuff around covid. All that stuff, just blocked out.
I don’t even try anymore. The tsunami of propaganda is so powerful, “telling the truth is a revolutionary act”. And I have no time for revolutions. I have bees to tend to. Time will tell who was right and who was wrong.
Yep. As I like to say, if Obummer does it, it’s double plus good to the liberals.
Mary,
doubleplusgood indeed. As someone said here, it is unreal how much Orwell’s 1984 is coming to shape our world. Uncanny prescience, to the point of having channeled the unseen and unthinkable, as great art does sometimes…
I just watched the movie, too. Double Plus DISTURBING.
And of course, watching it with new eyes, as when I first saw it, it was still something that happened in Pretend World, not the real world…
Actually yes. That is a trademark of the extreme leftists. By any means necessary. And if that mean supporting “neo-nazis” they will fully do so. They will actually never acknowledge it though. Their political opponents will to point out their hypocrisy but their political opponents don’t seem to understand they don’t care because as a whole they don’t operate from any sort of a moral center so to speak.
Wow Euro Nat gas up 43% just today over 1000% YOY. Coal up 33% today. Good thing winters almost over.
https://tradingeconomics.com/commodities
Basically three more winters, or two at best, to get through before JoJo is finally out of office and things will get set on the right course again for improvement of the average American. I doubt we will be in a good place by then. Hopefully we can all make it that long.
The way things are going, that might be too long.
I’m looking at things in terms of months just now. My daughter is due to move to Copenhagen in the early summer/late spring. If we’re going to have a real horror like the grid going down, I’d almost rather it happened before she leaves or I might never find out what happened to her. Although, for all I know, she might be safer over there.
It’s the segueing of one thing into another than worries me generally. From covid into climate change into war. Feels like something else is likely to happen sooner rather than later.
*that* worries me …
Gas here is now $3.70/gal. May not seem real high, but it has been going up consistently. I expect it to hit $4 pretty soon. After that, the sky’s the limit.
$9 by summer, bill. We’ll see.
Let’s see. How big is the average auto gas tank? I don’t really know. Some may be small, like 10-12 gallons, others may be up to18-20 gallons or more. Using a figure of 15 gallons, that’s $135 for a fill up at $9/gal. That’s a lot of $ for gas. My average food bill is now around $220/wk. for 2 of us – and it’s steadily going up. How can people afford this, I don’t know.
I think pretty soon many people are going to stop paying condo fees in my complex – and/or mortgage payments. But inflation vs. income is under control, so the Fed says. The Fed supposedly isn’t raising rates this month. If I were the Fed Governors, I’d start looking nervous as I drive by lamp posts.
st elmo
the one certain thing: dwindling energy. The depletion Mr K has been talking about for ages, on steroids now with this new geopolitical mess.
Yet Wall St consistently “buys the dip”. Energy & all the other resources getting scarce & hard to source, much more expensive, yet the markets believe gizmos & trinkets, distractions and entertainments, ever fatter returns are written in stone.
I don’t get it.
I think one result of this war and the interruption of natgas and oil supplies from Russia will reveal the feebleness of ‘Renewables’, and the foolish policy of shutting down nuclear reactors. The upshot is that Germany and the UK will be using a lot more coal, like it or not. (If they want to keep the lights on)
The UK doesn’t really have a lot of quality coal left, as far as I understand it, brh. The best is long gone, as it is with everything else that was in the ground. The payback for being the first country to industrialise is that you run out of everything first, especially if you’re a tiny country in the first place. No empire now to steal from.
I remember buying Richard Heinberg’s ‘Black Out’ many years ago, which was based on the premise that the coal situation worldwide was not as good as people generally thought. I never finished the book, I have to admit, so I don’t know.
It seems logical that the share prices of Exxon et al. will go up as the price of oil goes up. . . .
For now . . .
Per Gail Tverberg, the price has to go up in order for oil “producers” (that is, actually, extractors) to invest in looking for extracting and refining more FF (fossil fuels).
Scarcity –> higher price.
The market doesn’t seem to respond to long-term realities, just to the price that people will pay as long as they gotta have the stuff and can afford the prices. IOW, a sellers’ market.
Hypocritical Media Coverage of Ukraine vs. the Middle East
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z9UyPurVok
Racism white supremacy; the train thats never late
8 years of completely ignoring the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians versus one week of media frenzy, and all of a sudden the media-driven hysteria is because of ”racism”?
Yeah, no.
Americans froth about what they are told to froth about.
At the Saker:
“Next,
The Russian Embassy in Geneva has released a document entitled “War Crimes and Crime against Humanity Committed by the Ukrainian Military-Poltiical Leadership in the Donbass” and made it available here:
https://geneva.mid.ru/en_US/web/geneva_en/donbasstragedy
Their servers are now also under DDoS attack, as are most Russian government resources and, in yet another illegal act of international aggression, most Russian media outlets in the West.
I managed to find that document here:
https://disk.yandex.com/d/NxzaukFVNmSHSA/Presentation%20Ukrainian%20War%20Crimes.pdf
I have also uploaded it here:

Click on the links in the text to download the full PDF (132MB!)
I ask you to please DOWNLOAD and CIRCULATE this document.
I don’t know how resistant Archive.org is to the letter soup censorship, nor do I know how good Yandex is with dealing with DDoS attack.
So please MAKE COPIES.
If there are enough copies out there, “they” will give up preventing it from circulating and will simply dismiss it all as “Russian war propaganda”.”
Excerpt:
“With the help of the Investigative Committee, Russian lawyers processed more than
39,000 files, prepared and submitted approximately 7,500 complaints to the ECHR on
behalf of those who suffered from the acts of Ukrainian authorities. Under those
complaints, the total amount of damage to be repaired stands at more than 350,000,000
EUR.
All the illicit actions will not go unpunished. Sooner or later the guilty will be held
accountable for their crimes. If Ukrainian authorities and law enforcement think it is
acceptable to criminalize the minds of their people, the Investigative Committee of
Russia will not tolerate this lawlessness. We will continue keeping record of all
evidence to prove the guilt of people involved in crimes against peace and security of
mankind and against Russian citizens. The Investigative Committee is taking every
measure to implement the principle of inevitability of punishment for those who
committed crimes in Donetsk and Luhansk.
As a guarantor of criminal liability for the perpetrators, the Investigative Committee of
Russia will keep reacting to all illegitimate actions – proportionately to the menace that those actions pose to society. . . . “
If I knew how to do that I would totally do it.
Blackbird says a blackout / breakdown of communications, via Rus hackers or home brewed false flag, is likely.
Surely it’s our Achilles’ heel, so I see it as a strong possibility, too.
Anyone has any tips about ways to reach loved ones in case of a massive power down? I have put in place a plan with mine, something like: I’ll expect you at my farm in 2 days. If you’re not here by the 3rd, I’ll go get you. Be serious about this and be where I expect you to be when I get there, because I’ll be burning my precious gas reserves to go get you.
Anyone has better ideas?
I will just make a half joke… My idea is: have everyone you want at your place at your place already…
Rulo,
My justification for understanding the past and the present – other than the fact that you humans and your machinations are just so damned interesting – is to more accurately predict the future. Why predict the future? So it doesn’t surprise you too much when you get there. And so you can be at least somewhat prepared.
I expect the internet to “go down” before November 5, 2024. When it “comes back up”, I expect it to be like Lazarus, a compromised ghost better left in the ground. I expect cell phone coverage to “go down” too – of course surveillance of your whereabouts and activities will continue. And the electrical grid. Most folks here in the U$ can’t imagine this. I should be clear that I don’t expect this to be the work of anybody in Russia. I expect a homegrown false flag.
You put a plan in place to deal with this. That’s smart. Hopefully your loved ones take this as seriously as you do. My family and friends don’t share my dark vision. They expect the world to continue as it has. They will do as they are told. Makes my planning rather simple.
As I’ve said here too many times to count, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. To me, it makes no sense to be gloomy about the future because it hasn’t happened yet. Don’t we all know unexpected things can occur? So if we’re prepared, why not be happy? It’s much more pleasant than being negative.
Here are some things that could happen: Putin, Biden or Trump could just die soon – they are old; Xi could be overthrown and so could Putin; some geniuses could figure out how to make effective nuclear fusion reactors; abiotic oil that can be gotten to deep in the Earth could be discovered; US progressives could suffer a massive defeat in November; a rational leader, now relatively unknown, could emerge to become the next George Washington; etc., etc.
Taken as a whole, I know these are low probability events. But since these are in the future as of today, what’s to lose by adopting a positive attitude – as long as you are prepared for the worst?
Exactly Beans.
Prepare for the future – it’s coming whether you want it or not.
Prepare for the worst – Take a bad song and make it better.
But meanwhile, live the life that you have. Best I can tell, you only get one chance. If you hate life now, what’s the point in planning to survive the future?
Wow. I used to follow JHK pretty regularly back in the day when he had lucid things to say about our built environment. Listened regularly to the KunstlerCast.
Sad to see such a once-incisive mind clinging to he fringiest edges of the right-wing. This whole comments section is profoundly sad, actually…
Another troll, showing up late to the party….Did someone put you up to this from Zelensky’s cabinet, to go around making comments like these after JoJo’s terrible SOTU address?
Blah blah blah same general comment (are you cutting and pasting doofie? Please give us more creativity than that) just a different day. Next!!
Sans,
many of us are serious environmentalists here.
And the categories “right” and “left” wing are passé. They no longer explain the world.
What’s an example of a “fringe edge” Mr K is guilty of, in your view?
Exactly. You’re either for your people or you’re not. You are and I am. The only problem is that they’re different peoples. You are of mixed heritage and you identify with your father’s side. That’s how you ended up in an Israeli work camp, lol. Why you try to obfuscate this is the real mystery.
Last week you attacked the idea that any homogeneity existed at all in Nature. There is quite literally nothing you won’t say to try to confuse your mother’s people. A real wily coyote!
@Comic Sans
Why is everyone ditching the old left but you, poo?
That said, it surprises me that many commenters here (who’s points of view I generally like) support continued ordinary use of fossil fuels as if that were the only alternative to the renewables joke. There are more creative alternatives. We need to jump the gun on the coming fossil crunch, not speed into it.
Bwa ha ha!
Concern trolls are my favorites.
I can’t say exactly why, but it has something to do with the particular quality of their icky-sticky artificiality.
And I think they all imagine that they are being clever.
Too funny. Biden is now committing to doing Putin’s dirty work for him. With enemies like this, who needs allies? These are the kind of people he should be going after right here at home. Far from “financing Putin’s war,” these are the scofflaws that Putin has been unable to rein in so far. Just more thieves stealing from thieves, as if DC needs an excuse to do that.
Biden administration launches new ‘KleptoCapture’ task force to go after Russian oligarchs
“The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs. … We are coming for your ill-begotten gains,” Biden said.
The unit will seek to deprive Russian oligarchs of assets and other tools used to evade sanctions.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/02/biden-administration-launches-new-task-force-to-go-after-crimes-of-russian-oligarchs.html
Dis,
well, Biden of all people is an expert in “ill-begotten gains”, so he may be just the man for the job…
To the winner go the spoils. Is Biden going to keep all of these mega yachts and other toys for himself? Can I book passage to The Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and carry away as much art as I can handle?
Rulo,
LOL! True that. It takes a thief to apprehend a thief, and all that..
It would certainly be hilarious is the Big Guy got swept up in his own dragnet. Won’t happen of course.
One of the best things that could come from the regime change in the Ukraine would be indictments against the Big Guy and his son, the Smartest Man on Earth. That won’t happen either.
Dis
What is next? The Feds going after our assets if we do not vote Democrat?
Wouldn’t doubt it. They’re getting more and more creative with the IRS these days.
This is too funny.
Actually, there is an interesting essay on the role of Jewish oligarchs in particular in the Ukraine story over at the Unz Review.
Zelensky is a creation of one of the ueber Jewish oligarchs in the Ukraine, Igor Kolomoiski. It seems the jury is out on the exact relationship of Putin to Russia-based oligarchs.
As ever, one big fly in the ointment is that many of these creeps have dual Russian-Israeli citizenship and are protected by the Zionist state as well as American Jewish power brokers.
So if “Biden” goes after these fellows, he might find himself in trouble with AIPAC, ADL, Nancy Pelosi, etc. “Biden” may be too dumb to grasp that just because you are Russian doesn’t mean you can’t be Jewish at the same time!!!
These olis can walk and chew gum at the same time, unlike “‘Biden.”
And another thing: If “Biden” is so clever as to figure out where the olis have their billions hidden in offshore tax havens, etc., maybe he can kill two birds with one stone and reveal all of the other users of these tax havens while he is at it. Recover some of the billions for the USA, too.
“Biden” might also find himself in deep shit with Kagan-Nuland if he gets seriously about the Russian Jewish olis.
Lots of great background and history on the Straussian Neocons by Thierry Meyssan here:
https://www.voltairenet.org/article215879.html
Go, Brandon!!
Yes indeed. The oligarch world is much more sophisticated than the naive political hack Brandon seems to believe. Of course he still gets a lot of political mileage out of the announcement by appearing to be “tough on Putin,” when in fact it’s anything but.
Hopefully someone is still taking care of the jellyfish while the war is on!

Don’t worry about the jellyfish. They may be endangered in the museum, but in the future, the oceans belong to them.
” A ruling elite that fails to accept responsibility for its failures doesn’t remain in power indefinitely, because its incompetence quite reliably wrecks the society that it rules. (That was Galbraith’s core point—he compared today’s government and corporate elite, in fact, to the French aristocracy of the prerevolutionary era, and showed that the former is making all the same mistakes as the latter.) This is precisely what the managerial aristocracy of today’s industrial nations cannot imagine. Confident of their supposed status as destiny’s darlings, sure that they and their lackeys are uniquely qualified to lead humanity forever onward and upward toward the best of all possible tomorrows, they are incapable of conceiving of a future that fails to pander to their collective sense of entitlement. It has never occurred to them that the future might just be more imaginative than they are.”

If Ukrainians in Ukraine hate Russians in Ukraine; should I suspect they probably wouldn’t like my black ass jogging through their neighborhoods?
*asking for a friend*
Thwack
What the heck would you be doing with a donkey in Ukraine?
Hee haw!
There’ll be plenty of blasted and abandoned buildings to loot in Kiev, Thwack, if that’s the way you roll. What’s left in Baltimore City? Wasn’t it pretty much cleaned out in the Freddie Grey riots?
The virtue-signaling libs who have diversity signs in their front lawns would screech if your black ass was running down their leafy suburban streets, that’s for sure.
Good point.
thwack, if you, or a “friend”, are planning on any jogging – in the Ukraine or elsewhere – I would recommend you make your shopping stops at houses with BLM signs/flags, “Hate doesn’t live here” signs, and “Coexist” bumperstickers on display. They may even let you order ahead and pick up your stuff on the way through.
Rulo, I’ve mentioned these views before. The only thing that has changed is my view on the vaccines as more and more information on them has become available. I began to doubt Fauci some time ago, and I do so even more now after reading Kennedy’s book.
I appreciate your attempts at ‘peacemaking’, but I’m not yet ready to go there. Look at this tiresome twat who calls herself queen saying that I’m hypocritical, an assertion that I know she can’t prove because I make it a point never to be that.
I’m called a member of the ‘blue cult’ when nothing could be further from the truth. It is their misrepresentation and distortion that has to be pointed out. They can’t handle opposing ideas gracefully and fairly, not that many of mine are opposed to theirs, but they will disparage anyone who has even a slightly different take.
It’s also their own unoriginality, their bottomless blandness, their often mundane mutterings, and ceaseless copying of others that they see reflected in the mirror of my posts. For sure, not always, but often enough.
Redneck liberal often pointed out the queen’s inaccurate statements, and because on some of them he was right, I supported him. Thus a ‘blue cult’ member I became.
No Rulo, like Tucker ‘I’m a sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink’, and I’ll just dig in my rowels until they gouge.
You can find peace in the grave, hopefully.
Night Owl is right: You’re a limp penis.
Look at all this whining. It’s all about youuuuuu, isn’t it?
P.S. Anyone who took 2 years to figure out we are being conned and duped is an idiot.
TS
“like Tucker ‘I’m a sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink’”
I’d call that claim (on Carlson’s part) to be a glaring example of having zero self-awareness.
These are indeed the four most prominent traits he displays on a daily basis. Plus, he’s happy to do the old 180? flip-flop within a few weeks, yet butter wouldn’t melt in his fecking mouth.
Maybe I’m the better sworn enemy. And that annoying girlie laugh of his.
I can not disagree with you, Redneck; Carlson has only taken on the appearance of a bulldog, but he’ll always be that bow-tied hack, deep down.
That is not to say that I do not agree with him about people living behind the rope line, however.
I’m worried about the Space Station. Isn’t that a joint USA/Russia project, dependent on mutual cooperation (and funding)? Well, without the SWIFT banking system, there won’t be any funding available; the Space Station will just keep spinning around the earth interminably, a burned out wreck, until one day it loses momentum and crashes downward.
Just saw something about that today but damned if I can find it now. Yeah I would say that’s worrisome.
I think I read somewhere they are going to scrap the station and burn it up. Anyone else see that?
That wouldn’t surprise me – the threat, anyway – given the temper tantrum response to everything thus far.
I have heard that the NASA moon project is on indefinite hold. The Feds cannot do anything right. Let the private guys take over.
Well, they’ll never be able to go to the moon, and they know that, so perhaps they’re relieved.
JAZ: my husband is a retired NASA propulsion test engineer, and he agrees with you. He says the only group worse than NASA on getting stuff into space these days is the Air Force. He contracted with them a few years ago and says that they are stuck in the 1950s. He admires SpaceX.
I hope they offload the people first.
Hey JAZ, oil at $112.
Yeah, the return trip goes through Russia I think.
Hey, maybe we need a pool to guess the high point for oil?
The prize will be a pitcher of your Orange smoothie Covid Crusher.
BRH,
The Forward Observer opines;
CHINA MOVES TO SECURE COMMODITIES IMPACTED BY WAR IN UKRAINE: Chinese government officials have ordered the country’s top economic planning body, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), to push state-owned buyers to scour markets for commodities which could become scarce as a result of fighting between Russia and Ukraine. The NDRC is ordering increases in reserves of oil, gas, iron ore, barley, and corn. (AC: China’s actions will likely put pressure on world markets and drive up prices for the selected commodities. Analysts believe China has already stockpiled between 60-70% of the world’s grain reserves. Oil prices in London rose 7.7% on Wednesday, wheat 7.6%, aluminum rose 1.3%, and corn futures climbed 2.9% to their highest since 2012. – M.M.)
I saw something about that recently.
That there are people up there working?
Who is going to bring them back to Earth??
Dammit, now that song I hate is playing in my head…
Ground Control to Major Tom
How can you hate Space Oddity? My favorite song! The song that opened the door to my acceptance of Rock and Roll.
Been a fun ride Paula, but I guess this is where we part company…
I’m brokenhearted.
Gonna head to my bedroom with a bottle of Russian Standard and drown my sorrows while I listen to Stevie Nicks and sob.
It’s unfortunate that instead of admitting – and possibly thanking – Night Owl and me for having been correct about everything to do with the covid19 hoax for the past year, Tucsonspur instead lashed out (what people who can’t admit they were wrong do).
But still he claims to not be one of the ‘liberal’ crowd. As he acts exactly as they do.
Keep attacking the messenger, tucson. Such a smart move.
LOL.
Just because TS does not agree with you during the duration of the Covid fiasco does not make him a bad guy or a limp penis. You are all conservative folks, able to hear opposing viewpoints intelligently. Why are you sinking to name calling? You sound like our anti-Trump liberals. You are not 100% correct on Covid either.
I’m not a conservative, and he struck the first blow. I have never called tucsonspur a name. He decided to go there. So, maybe, address your holier-than-thou comment to him not me.
Not holier than thou, name caller.
I have always considered this blog an exchange of opinions of beliefs. There are those that believe that other viewpoints are a total sin and must be condemned.
TS, myself, any of the liberal entrants are entitled to express their opinions here or anywhere. I may gnash my teeth at them, but I do read them.
As I do you.
You’re one of the many men up here who have accused me of name-calling, etc. when someone else did it to me first, and I responded in kind. It’s actually a thing here.
Is that an anti-woman thing, do you imagine this is your “boy’s club” or “he-man women-hater’s club” or just laziness?
It happens a bit too much just to be a coinkydink.
Jarek and O.G. were always starting shit with me. Then somehow I was the baddie for responding. Easy enough to scroll on back up and check for yourself.
Look at your 7:09 post. Never called a name, huh?
Not until he did. Check your timestamps.
I thank you John, but I may offend you at the same time. I don’t mean to. You are primmer and more proper than I, and that can be a good thing.
Many here have grabbed Mary Queen of Twats by the cunt hairs, and she doesn’t like it. Who would?
Now, I must be completely honest and confess that in dealing with Mary my penis is limper than a strand of overboiled linguini.
She could be gyrating nude on a bedsheet and this pathetic noodle would reach its nadir.
Look at the Slur go. Attacking strong, independent-minded individuals.
He’s backtracked on all of his opinions, because the herd has begun to shift its views.
A limp penis.
I see slur gets nastier and baser when he’s been owned.
LOL!
TS
You might offend me at times, lots of posters do.
Remember the adage. I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it.
This country works on compromise, not extremism. That is why whn extremists take over, it does not work. Like right now!!
Richard Engel on with Lester Strong: Putin says he intends to overthrow the Nazi government of Ukraine. Engel points out that Zelensky is Jewish. That’s what I said too. Is it alright to say this now?
Everything points to towards the necessity of White Nationalism.
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/595980-marjorie-taylor-greene-defends-attendance-at-white-nationalist-conference-the
God bless Marjorie Taylor Greene for attending, but more importantly not apologizing for doing so. A few other Representatives attended Nick Fuente’s America First Political Action Conference as well. The Republican Zionists are outraged! Soon they will drive Marjorie and the others out of the party. Where will they go? This is what Trump could have remedied by going elsewhere.
As it stands, Trump may get in again, and then he’ll spend four years fighting the Democrats while the Republicans stand by and let it happen.
Kudos to Greene and Boebert for heckling Biden last night. And to De Santis for telling kids to take off their obedience masks.
Jarek
Please name one person that has the where with all that Trump has to overcome the bastards now in the Deep State. This is not Dem vs, GOP, it is Deep State against the people.
We need a Savior. He’s not it. If he gets in, that vulture Jared will resurface as his handler, with old man Kushner listening on the phone. Trump is part of the Kushner crime family. He’s compromised. He may wish he could do more good, but he can’t. Not without going to jail or being assassinated. This is prior to all the crap he’s done himself that he could be charged with. They may even like that since it’s another way to control him.
Come to think of it, De Santis should stay clear even if offered the VP. They’ll be coming for him as well if he takes it. He’s young and should wait for a clear shot – assuming we still even exist as a Country in 2028. No guarantee of that at this point.
Jarek
You call the Kushners a crime family. I am convinced the whole East Coast is run by the mob. The Deep State is led by the Mob with the cartels in tow. That is why the border is open, that is why nothing happens, that is why the WEF is here in force, the Mob runs it all. The Mob, cartels, run the immigration debacle with DC help, they run human trafficking, prostitution and drugs.
What Mob? All of them, they are running the world. Ever think that the Mob in Russia and China are contesting the Mob here?
Trump beat the mob and became wealthy in spite of it. Then they beat him when he made the mistake of going to Washington.
JAZ, you are on to something. Each winter I pick a topic and study the hell out of it. One year it was America’s wars in the Philippines 1898-1913, another it was everything Hemingway, yet another Pirates and Piracy on the high seas. This year it was the Mafia; I’m astonished at the power and influence they had (since reduced). Rock & Roll music industry, major east and west coast unions, Atlantic City and Las Vegas, major NYC, Philly and Miami construction projects, large concrete companies, the Stonewall Inn where the homosexual political movement began, Teamsters and trucking, major heroin dealers from day 1, Cuba, CIA, both political parties, racketeering that brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, controlling all ports on both coasts … at their height they had their fingers in everything.
One thing I found interesting is organized crime’s link to state lotteries. I always figured state lotteries were impossible to handicap and based upon just sh#t luck. So how is it possible then for Sammy ‘the bull’ Gravano to win $1 million in the NYS lottery, Whitey Bulger to win $3 million in the Mass. state lottery, or a local mobster here in Ct, part of the Patriarcha family, to win $5 million in the Ct state lottery just days after getting out of prison after a 7 year stint?
One interesting story I ran across involved Tommy James and the Shondells. Their manager was mobbed up, and took all the $$$ the band earned. When James went to complain and demand a new contract, a few mob enforces hung him out of a skyscraper window by his ankles. Needless to say the contract was not amended.
BRH
I visited the Mob museum in Vegas the last trip. I was appalled at the level of control the Mob has had through the years. The Deep State is the Mob, one portion of it.. Is the Mob now global? Think about over CFN discussions.
Jewish Mob
Vatican Mob
Italian Mob
Irish Mob
Chinese Mob
Japanese Mob
Russian Mob
Black Mob
Who is in control now? Is it possible that the globalist threat we discuss is just collusion of the Mob families? Is the Deep State just an enforcement arm of the global Mob?
Define what you mean by “the mob”, please.
Does a Mob cease to be a Mob when they put on three piece suits as the leaders of the Mexican Mafia do? The Irish Mafia never got that far.
Let’s stay with Mexico. The various Drug Gangs are basically so many Tribes fighting over the carcass called “Mexico” – a failed central state. If one such Tribe triumphed over the other, it would become the new Elite and Government of Mexico.
With conquest comes legitimacy and respectability. The Elite of the old regime may be seen as dirty savages as in the case of American Indians. Or, they marry in with the incomers if the incomers want to keep the name. This is what the German Tribesmen tried to do with Rome. They admired Rome and they actually did have the intelligence to continue civilization. But there were too many warring tribes and claims, especially coming from Byzantium, so their success was limited.
I’ve been flabbergasted at what is happening with banks and corporations first ganging up on the truckers and anyone who supported them, and then ganging up on Russia. How do you just cancel a superpower like Russia? That’s exactly what they’re trying to do, but I bet it backfires. Let’s not forget, Putin is a chess master! I did some research on war, and propaganda, and found striking similarities between this war and WWI. Anyway, take a look at this and let me know what you think. I cover America’s wars up to WWI, and I’ll cover the rest in my next post. I need feedback before I write again so anything you have to offer would be appreciated. https://www.agapy.com/war-whats-it-all-about
Think who controls the banks? Rothschild comes to mind.
Jewish Mob?
Once ‘they’ took over media, it was ‘all organized crime is Italian’.
Interesting site. I’m still perusing.
Very interesting, Wendi. You’ve done some nice work there.
As my dear old dead mother used to remind us, “Consider the source”. Once you winnow out the usual Conde Nast agitprop, this essay has some interesting insights. Gessen has at least done her homework:
https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/how-putin-wants-russians-to-see-the-war-in-ukraine?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Daily_Control_030222&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&utm_term=tny_daily_recirc&bxid=5f8e46bd459ad717411fc3f3&cndid=62485440&hasha=82599a1c2743b2f4f5299d12ac16f8a8&hashb=145333383e25d6a51c912d10596990c1ab4a7396&hashc=9a7e0cdea53bfdf90b98f5fb4746b240b8096f15e1efc00e0cf18136b9548de9&esrc=lwg-register
Considering what ordinary Russians have endured thoughout history, at least compared to cosseted, spoiled westerners, this current gefuffle, raising the forlorn hope that they will get rid of Putin and install another doddering Brezhnev in his place, is thin gruel.
Hey, here’s an idea: why not send in “President Biden” to take charge? Russia is only, you know, next door to Ukraine, and so it would not be such “unfamiliar territory”.
Hunter? You up to it? Hunter?

I am allergic to Masha Gessen.
She is an apologist for everything “liberal,” LGBT, anti-Orban, Zionist.
Etc. She stems from some Russian family that has a huge chip on its shoulder. Because she is Russian (or maybe Ukrainian), she is taken as an authority on all things Slavic. Meanwhile she is alwalys pushing a narrow viewpoint that coincides more or less with Soros-ism.
The New Yorker has gone crypto-Zionist and now, woke.
The editor, David Remnick, is totally Zionist.
Even the cartoons aren’t funny anymore. More like mean-spirited. The only funny ones are at the back of the book, where readers weigh in with possible punchlines. Those are often quite funny. (I get old mags from my sister.)
I canceled my sub a few years ago and haven’t missed it since (except they still do have great cover art).
More mean spirited than “rat lines”? I doubt it. That’s hardest of hard core Zionism.
Oh, so Jews wanting to live in their homeland is bad? Isn’t any Jew living there automatically a Zionist?
Agree. It’s no worse than Whites wanting to live in their own homelands. But of course you don’t accept that. And instead of calling the German flight an “underground railroad”, the Zionists called it “rat lines”.
To be expected given the Semitic mindset that reviles its enemies, which was passed to to both Christianity and Communism. Islam has it as well since the Arabs as also Semites.
The utter tragedy is that Whites accept their own defamation, especially from their “own” religion.
David Remnick, what a name.
Did anyone remind Jobiden that its a mostly peaceful invasion in Ukraine?
Smoke signals, Rulo…smoke signals.
Massive power outages in Taiwan..
how massive?
will russia do that to UK USA?
I haven’t been too concerned about that, but maybe I should. Our on-line and physical infrastructure is very vulnerable. The question is, let’s say ours go down. What happens, then? Do China and Russia benefit, or would they be hurt badly too?
When the grid goes down in the U$, it will be the U$ pulling the plug.
unless the enemy gets to it first.
Oh, well I do know that the headline I saw said that the power outage effected the city of Taipei and two major chip manufacturers. I want to say it was like the north of the island that was out of power. Not sure what the status is now as I don’t see it mentioned anymore anywhere.
I think Putin is capable of anything and the Russians are unpredictable
I’m shocked at how dangerous and unhinged Sean Hannity’s rhetoric has become over the whole Ukraine situation. Apparently in the midst of his hysterical rant calling for the assassination of President Putin (a departure from international norms and law?) Hannity failed to see the irony and hypocrisy of his condemnation of Putin’s violations of international norms and laws. Such unnecessary escalatory language in the moment is at the very least deeply irresponsible. But is there something more sinister behind the outrage? Who is making all of the weapons that Hannity wants to send to alleged Ukrainian insurgents and how much are they getting paid and who is paying them? And if Putin is removed who does Hannity want installed in Moscow? Is there someone in the wings he has in mind? What it really does seem like is that the sinister bloodthirsty forces that have tied us down in foreign kiiling fields to “change regimes” for so many years want more bloodshed. Sean Hannity apparently believes the US getting nuked may just be necessary collateral for directly countering and potentially removing Putin.
Rush was smart on certain topics, and genuinely witty. Glenn Beck is semi-okay as a middleman between some extreme ideas and Main Street. Tucker Carlson is good enough. Mark Levin is very occasionally incisive with his awful voice. Sean Hannity has always been a doorstop.
Mark Levin doesn’t believe America is any concrete thing. He certainly rejects America as a nation primarily founded by European Christians and therefore whether he verbalizes it or not is in sympatico with his supposed enemies like blm. He only espouses America as a nebulous idea of freedom as enshrined in the founding documents.
I do not get Fox right now. The US government and NATO is responsible for what is going on in Ukraine. Pushing Putin one notch too far, especially when he has told them all along since 2008 that Ukraine was a red line, has now put Ukraine in the hot seat.
A big question for me. Where are all the casualty reports, where are all the total destruction reports?
I am watching all the US politicos. There are folks advocating nuclear war to unseat Putin. These people, MIC ers all, are crazy people and need to be eliminated from DC. I want to hear just one person say, “Wait a minute, we need to back off and create a buffer zone in Europe to keep the tension level low.
Deep State, think for a minute, do you want to blow up for a move in Ukraine that you did. The West pushed, after being warned time and again, and finally the Bear reacted. Back the F off!!
What is the end result desired by both sides?
This is my opinion.
Russia wants a buffer, especially in Ukraine that extends into SW Russia like a dagger. They are fighting for majority Russians in Ukraine East that have been attacked repeatedly by Ukranian nationals. Their goal is the annexation of East Ukraine and the military neutralization of the rest of Ukraine. If need be , they will wreck Ukraine to achieve these goals.
The USA has gotten away with a load of crap for decades since promising Russia that NATO would not extend Eastward. Ukraine in NATO control means a belligerent military presence on Russia’s entire western border. It reminds me of a spoiled child on the playground not getting what he wants, tries to bully his way to getting what he wants and finally having a brave soul that backs him down.
As usual, the American media has sent out a bunch of sentimental crap that so distorts the picture that the people here cannot get a true picture. I want the Ukrainian folks to realize who is behind all this activity and realize it is NOT a one way street.
Think.
What would our reaction be if China, through the cartels, set up a military presence in Mexico? This IS a distinct possibility. Brazil right now is not buying the US crap and is not backing sanctions. Another major pro Russia actor is Eritrea, the terminus for the African terminus of the Silk Road and shipping from China. The port is owned by China. Eritrea is the African gateway to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
The US is playing with fire, attacking from its corner of the sandbox and quite a few kids are not on its side.
Once again the dominant political class in the US, and the West generally, proves that it is a danger to the world and to the continuity of humanity itself. I continue to say that our dominant political class is an existential threat to humanity and the world.
Totally agree, JAZ.
Yes, penny wise, pound foolish. A tool and a fool. “Putin killed that little girl” – by that logic, how many little girls have we killed? He wants our Oligarchs – his paymasters – to have full access to Russia’s natural resources. That’s what it comes down to in the end, whether he admits it to himself or not.
Then when they started to have our social problems, with immigrant violence and kids being turned into trannies, he’d shake his head sadly.
He’s great on occasion on isolated issues. He’s the one who went down to Ecuador to interview Julian Assange. And I’ve always got a kick out of his pugnacity, calling a that English Jihadi a son of a bitch on air, and always challenging his Black guests to fight him (he studies Karate, probably a black belt by now).
Ah that is a good insight. So he wants all of that Russian oil and natgas to be our oil and natgas. That way we don’t have to worry about any middle men. And yes, then our oligarchs get richer and richer and he can keep complaining about their excesses. I didn’t realize he interviewed Assange. That is very interesting!
Speaking of the regime change people and their sundry footsoldiers. Some new info on the Mandalay Bay massacre comes to light..

Your writing ability on current affairs is interesting and your books well made. Like you suggest in the book: living in the Long emergency, having the acumen, skills, ability to produce your own things essential. To me it’s an extension of things already learn since the early 2000s put into practice during crisis(fourth turning) So for or me this means a DIY 4th industrial revolution with nanomaterials and electronic antibiotics(biotechnology/biomedical engineering) – no industrial complexes or corrupt institutions allowed! 😉
It’s interesting that India, China and Brazil aren’t joining the USA and W Europe in balls to the wall sanctions against anything Russian. They’re holding off, or actively supporting Russia. It’s called realpolitik — looking out for the interests of your own country. The above mentioned countries account for half the world’s population, and combined with Russia, a large % of the world’s landmass.
BRIC nations sticking together. This is what the WEF/NATO combine want to break.
I am no fan of China in particular, but a multi-polar world is a safe world.
Spot on Night Owl!
The WEF wants one-world government.
If anything, Russia is in the right. We are shown these truly said pictures (many of them real, I’m sure, many doctored) of the plight of the Ukranians victims…
What about the plight of the Russians in Donbass, etc?
What about the plight of the Ukranians who don’t agree with the current NATO puppet government?
What about the plight of Iraq, turned upside down by the US? Libya?
Lying media. But it’s a good story for them.
This just out: perhaps some one here can challenge or confirm it? THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA SHOULD BE COVERING. They lie about this–don’t take anything you see and hear as true–do you own due diligence!

Lemberg.
LEMBERG.
Please, google it first (I did this on a laptop). See what the all-knowing google comes back with.
Then clear your browser, and duckduckgo it, and see what you get.
It’s quite telling….
Soc- Det, I’ve been reading most of your comments and think you are sharp and astute. I like it when you post
What is the difference in the browsers?
Lemberg = Lvov, right?
Being half German, I have always been fascinated by the Slavic/German name combos in central Europe.
Bratislava = Pressburg
Brno = Bruenn
Mariánské Lázn? = Marienbad
AAMOF, the fact (is it??) that place names in eastern Ukraine don’t (seem to) have German versions might constitute some kind of cultural or historical line of demarcation. This just occurred to me—I haven’t checked this out.
I hypothesize a break/rupture will occur between the New World and the Classical World. Then there are the emerging multi poles that are based on a continent/ identity basis i.e. an Africa pole, an Asia pole, a Europa pole and North and South America pole (Twin poles.) Not to mention a vast Islamic-Arab heritage pole. (The biggest at 1.7Billion people)
That why I scan and look for ruptures between USA, the main new world actor, and the actors in the Classical world to confirm the Hypo. (So far, I have seen two ruptures this year – Afghanistan-US and Russia-US.) I base the hypothesis mostly on lessons gleaned from a unique study on how the internet radically influences people and societies… by one Pierre Berthon, Ph.d.
Wow! They are thinking about the future!!

Let’s talk about masks – A message from Israel

The guy nails it.
So Hebrew script is read from right to left. It must be hard to look at the English above and try to read left to right at the same time too lol. Glad to see this in Israel since it was one of the super covid zero countries at one point
Yes, I had no idea! Talk about feeling ignorant. I had never noticed that before.
So the West has started seizing assets of the Russian “oligarchs”. Already several 100+ million dollar yachts have been seized. I would imagine the western “billionaires” ( don’t call them oligarchs) are salivating in anticipation for when these assets will be auctioned and they can scoop ’em on the cheap. Oil at $250 a barrel? Do ya think Billionaires (don’t call them oligarchs) give a shit. Perhaps they should all be scrapped in the interest of combating climate change. Well we all know that ain’t gonna happen.
If I could buy one of these mega-yachts, I’d pay up to $10,000. That’s more in my price range. Then, when the Chinese take over, I could sail into international waters and stay there.
I’d recommend staying simple. Those mega-yachts are too high maintenance and too high tech. No good when the grid is down and you are on your own. Stick with a nice, old-fashioned low tech sailboat, under 50 feet.
When the Chinese take over there will be no international waters, only Chinese waters. Your first trip into port may be your last. So, rig your boat with explosives and, “kill a commie (or several) for mommie”.
and if u kept it, whats the cost of upkeep?
With a crew of 56 hands, the cost of diesel, and the constant maintenance required on any seagoing vessel, I’d say expenses would be $100,000 per week for one of those mega yachts.
I was just being facetious.
Don’t worry. There’s a poll for that.

If Putin’s tanks rolled into France and took over Paris, would the French take up arms and work to defend their homeland? My guess is probably not. They will simply roll over and give in to their invaders in order to continue sipping on their wine and eating escargot.
The French as a people lack a spine and their country has already been inundated by refugee asylum seeks anyway. France is nothing more than a tourist destination at this point, and no longer seems to have a distinct cultural heritage to lead it into the future.
The Anglo mind is so different from the Continental mind. And that isn’t a bad thing or anything. The islands were different. The continent essentially has always been dominated by German and Russian/Slav brute force.
I’m English, SSL, and if the Russian tanks rolled in now I wouldn’t lift a finger. What am I supposed to be defending? My fellow citizens? A horde of masked zombies? “Englishness”?
Women and trannies first. When they make up >50% of the fighting force I might think about enlisting.
Well put.
Always is a long time.
The French would probably be better off if they let the Russians roll in and take out the trash.
What should the French fight for? To maintain their puppet status? To keep the looting plutocrats in power? To keep fucking with other countries?

I’d say that the west has had pretty much everything worth fighting for taken from them.

Listening as one by one all the do nothings in DC are spouting off about Ukraine to their constituents. What a crock of crap!
No fly zones really cracks me up. What is Russia going to do when the first jet is shot down?
Destroy the convoy, another really stupid idea. Same response.
Russia is so far waging a slow deliberate war, picking targets, wrecking Ukraine’s defense posture. Start messing with them, and they will mow down everyone in front of them. They will increase their military reaction in tune with the level of resistance.
I really love the idiots that want to embargo Russian oil. China is chomping at the bit.
Let these idiots get involved in this war, you can kiss off the US twenty years sooner. I hope everyone likes 6 or 7 dollar gas.
I bet Kerry is loving this.
Did hear Zelensky say this AM that he needs to talk to Putin and end the war. About time someone is talking with a little sense. Next 3 days are critical.
I hope NATO dissolves after this and the EU gets down to business with Russia. The US deserves a black eye with what they have done.
JAZ, you just explained why I think the whole Ukraine Shitshow is just an act.
U$ shuts down Russia. Russia shuts down the west. Western economic collapse. Western authoritarian response. Chinese economic hegemony. Western economic serfs. World population decreased to levels necessary to maintain godlike lifestyle of the autocrats.
It’s what the globalists want, not what they are fighting against.
Let’s get down to brass tacks too.
I have heard all kinds of Congress people today talking about the US defending us from Russian Communism.

Thanks to these marvelous law makers and the wokesterism they profess, we are now just as socialistic as Russia. And they are clamoring for more.

The way to win is not to fight America, or the Russians but to have them fight each other.
They, the Nazi group, nuked a football game in the US, got a Russian general to blow up a US carrier and almost got a bilateral nuclear conflagration. Our hero found them out and stopped the war. The bums got their just due.
Move the scene from Baltimore to the Ukraine. Are the globalists showing their hand right now? Are they getting their two main opponents the US and Russia to fight each other. Is their target not nuclear war but economic war?

Excellent video! These people read like a secret society (that’s not so secret) or a religious cult.
No coincidence, this is also how the CIA and most of the three letter spy agencies operate, where most of their “associates” and the clout they wield are nowhere to be found on the “official” books. “Confessions of Economic Hitman” and others go into the details of how it used to be done, but I’m sure the methods are much more sophisticated these days.
“It’s a big club, and you aint in it!”
To add, I would bet most of these junior level “Global Leader” associates are at the neophyte level within the organization, being mentored and and graded on their dedication to organizational goals and accomplishments, exactly like any secret society operates. Which is to say they not fully “read in” on the organization’s goals until sometime later if/when they are invited to advance. Think the Masons and their degrees. Which means these kids are naive “true believers” in the truest sense, still being molded and indoctrinated until they are finally invited to test for higher degrees, and ultimately, a few are finally “baptized” into the inner circle. Scary shit, but that’s how it works.
Thanks Mary. I like Polly – only started listening to her with the ‘Warning to Truckers’ video.
I listened to the podcast that followed the video you just posted. She thinks Nextdoor will eventually be used for ‘outing’ dissenters and seems to have some creepy neighbours. She and her husband (?) were talking about trying to escape to the US.
Two Conflicting Views Over the Whole Ukrainian Mess:
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/115204.htm
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/01/09/broken-promise-nato-expansion-and-end-cold-war/
Crusher,
Of course there’s 2 sides to this situation, else there wouldn’t be an invasion in the first place. You’re first link is from a NATO website and your second is from a Russian site, so naturally there’d be a differing of opinion. I wouldn’t draw any conclusions from comparing the two sights, then.
All we really do know is that Russia has invaded Ukraine, and that US/NATO was involved at some level in overthrowing a duly elected Ukrainian government in 2014. We could go back and forth arguing whether or not NATO stated they would not expand eastward, but that isn’t the point. The point is that for whatever reason, Russia feels threatened by having a NATO member on their border, and they tried to get the West to allay those fears, but the West didn’t give any solid reassurances, so Russia invaded.
I actually don’t blame them, even though I despise war.
That’s my take on it too, Bill. I know we’re both old enough to remember the American reaction to Soviet missiles in Cuba.
Yeah, hypocritical of the US, isn’t it?
Yes, a bit of perspective does wonders.
War was coming to them. Sooner or later.
I wonder if we will ever in our lifetimes have an actual hot war with foreign players on US soil. I mean, for so long the US has been protected like an island, between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, and then with Canada to the north and Mexico to the south (for better or worse).
Does anyone think that this day of comeuppance might one day come for the land of the free, home of the brave? I feel like we as Americans have it too good, getting to sit back and watch on our televisions all the strife and explosions in these distant foreign lands, from the comfort of our sofas whilst eating Cheetos. It almost makes it all seem like nothing more than an expensive docudrama occurring overseas for our viewing pleasure.
I seriously wonder how such a foreign battle would play out on US soil and how the rest of the world would react…..
CW2?
Foreign infiltration of Western Hemisphere countries?
Highly, highly, unlikely. But there is a ‘cancel’ war going on…
Yeah, Americans treat war like a football game, complete with fireworks over the country hosting our team’s invasion.
Go Team!
No: Foreign powers will quake at the thought of violating the Monroe Doctrine. “Laughs”
Unlike the US , when Russia draws a red line they enforce it.
Give me a good old fashioned manual brake to control under my own volition any day:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/a-tesla-car-came-to-a-complete-stop-on-an-interstate-police-say-causing-a-3-car-crash-that-killed-the-driver/ar-AAUwFGb?ocid=msedgntp
I guess if this doesn’t kill you, then maybe the battery will spontaneously combust and do you in instead.
How ’bout them goddamn anti-stop brakes?
Never had trouble stopping on rain-slicked, ice-slicked, snow-slicked roads until the advent of “anti-lock brakes”.
Now: “I’m sorry, but your decision to stop at this particular location does not make sense to us, the collective forming your car, therefore we have decided to continue to progress through this busy intersection.”
Knight Rider gone wild.
ABS systems actually work but the fact that it takes pushing down hard on the brakes to activate seems so wrong that it is not used.
I have tried the stomp on the brakes routine on snow and ice and it actually works, putting the brakes into a stop go stop go state.
However, computerized everything that is required for EVs, is going to be a safety issue in the future.
I wonder if some of this falls into the notions of living on your knees versus dying on your feet or sacrificing freedoms for safety?
I mean, much of entire lives could be push-buttoned/controlled until we are living in what? Glorified human zoos/padded cells?
Why bother going mountain climbing, flying, sky-diving, wing-suit/base-jumping or jumping off cliffs into the water below?
Why even leave the home? Stay there and ‘work’ (so to speak) from there. Silly-Cone Valleys and your Governpimps will take care of you, for you, so to doublespeak.
ABS is designed for people who can’t drive. Most people will jam on their brakes in a panic and go into a skid losing all control of their car. ABS will give you maximum braking without wheel lock-up. If you don’t like it shut it off . Your brakes will work the old fashioned way like you like it. Pull the ABS relay in your fuse box. You may get a light on your dashboard or maybe not. You can put a piece of tape over it if it annoys you. I’ve got an 85 MB with ABS and it still works fine. A lot of new cars have traction control which also works with the ABS but who needs that. I keep it shut off anyway. If your car has traction control your gas pedal is connected to the brain, no mechanical cables as old. Some cars the steering wheel is not mechanically connected to the wheels, now that’s scary. Fly by wire like an F16.
Cars suck shit.
ABS is pretty great, actually.
In the C63, I was once doing about 235 km/h in the left lane of one of Germany’s few remaining unrestricted zones and a 95-hp Citroen decided to pull out in front of me.
No amount of alpha bro pedal-pumping is going to help you then. ABS did, however.
It is why EVs and self driving cars will never take over.
It is why we need to replace the environmental idiots in DC with realists that will find real solutions to oncoming problems.
For example, we are wasting political capital on GND, which is in reality just a power grab by the globalists. The solution to the FFpollutionAGW problem is already raising its head.
Peak oil will enforce change in the future because there will be no choice. EVs of some sort will happen, probably with motor scooters, e bikes, commuter systems and railroads, all electrical. Nuclear power will happen, because only it approximates the Ein<Eout quandary. Hopefully controlled fusion but probably fission. All the problems the excuse makers use will be solved.
Why? Because there will be no choice!!! It is already underway.
No one talks about the phones. The ones everyone has. They are the epitome of planned obsolescence. So, they have a life of about 5 years. What a waste! I already have gone through 3 smartphones and need a new one already because this one can’t keep up anymore.
It’s only 4.5 years old.
Incalculable waste – all of the washers, refrigerators, dryers, all only lasting 2-6 years now, they’re all computerized.
But this is never addressed by the Green New Deal folks. Nor do they address the problem with masks clogging the oceans.
I had been using my same flip phone since 2001. I was recently been forced to give it up because of all this 5G upgrade nonsense, so I now have one of those “smart” phones, although the simplest most stripped down one you can get. I plan to use it for solely for phone calls and texts as long as they keep the 4G network up. Upon programming it, I immediately disabled as many of the preloaded apps as possible, and it keeps warning me that without the Google software activated I cannot take pictures with it. Oh well!!! It is a PHONE, meant to make calls, not take pictures….
Same problem. The phone is just another app.
But you should think of your camera as a weapon, a phaser…..
I have never owned a cellphone before in my life but am temporarily borrowing one to use merely as a tether for internet access until I can get my own.
Now, since I’m borrowing the phone, I generally don’t try to answer any phone calls, unless they are for me. I write ‘try’ because a problem is that the phone is that stupid (not I) that it doesn’t allow me to easily figure out how to answer the calls the way a classic phone woult before it goes to voicemail, which I’ve no access to because, again, it is not my phone.
Not only that but the screen’s keypad disappears and the screen goes black while I am trying to punch in the numbers when confronted with those automated services (i.e., ‘press 1 for this department; press 2 if you are a current customer’, etc..). Sometimes I have not done this fast enough and the service just hung up with the automated voice just before saying, ‘Goodbye.’.
I constantly have thoughts that I have to suppress of smashing the phone to bits.
It’s no wonder individuals of the newer human generations often seem so off their rockers. (I actually asked a young man [or whatever you call that ‘gender’ these daze] that very question– if he was off his rocker– but that’s another story for another time.) It’s probably because they’ve never known a life where they could actually relax in one, say, on some wraparound porch somewhere while chewing on a blade of grass, with ‘nary a care in the world’.
The so-called Woke seem to merely be channelling and then projecting their idiocy-for-a-culture onto everyone and everything like some sort of geosociopolitical temper tantrum. I can kind of empathize.
My comment here says nothing about my bank’s (temporary we hope, due to some tech glitch) inability to have me ‘conveniently’ pay my upcoming new internet bill over the internet, nor about my upcoming ISP’s ability to mail me a modem/router that actually works, nor my landlord’s inability to simply unlock a room in the basement for the phone technician so that the he/they/them/it/what can access some wires to help me connect.
Remember that film (possibly with an interview with our host, JHK in it) of a bit over 10 years ago that asked at the beginning, ‘Why are things falling apart?’?
I do.
@Man they call Zazelle, I can empathize. I often want to throw my computers/phone out the window.
And yeah I can’t imagine being born in a time where the first thing you get is a screen in your face, and you can’t live without it ever after.
@ Zazelle,
I have PROUDLY smashed two phones in my life, one “Smart” and one just dumb flipper. Made me feel damn good at the time too, as I recall. Sometimes ya just gotta do it.
Sadly, I’m forced to use a smart phone for work now, so I have to suppress my destructive urges. It crashed last week and I had to take it in to get reloaded, during which time I had to fight the urge MIGHTILY, but I managed to barely contain it. I had to laugh, because I did slam it on my desk at one point, and it popped up a message that said “rough handling!” or some such. I suppose someone was taking note of that out at the bomb factory, but I haven’t received a nasty-gram yet.
I hate (allegedly) smart phones.
don’t have one.
I have an ancient flip.
Still works, sort of.
I feel quite aggrieved that I will be forced to buy a new phone and have a new monthly expense.
But to travel anywhere I ‘ll need something.
I plan to get an “updated’ flip phone.
But am kicking and screaming . . .
Misery loves company, so here’s a little ascii text heart for you:

I appears par for the dystem, a race to the bottom. Maximize profits at all costs.
correction for above:
‘It appears par for the dystem…’
Smashing cell phones is such a waste, although I applaud the motivation. Far better to take the 6.5 Creedmore out to the range. Start at 300 yards which is a reasonable challenge for a punter marksman. Or if you have a sniper set up and the skills to go with it, 500 yards is your goal. Extra points for 5G.
Self-crashing cars.
ABS has been around for awhile. I had a ’93 Ford Ranger that came with ABS. (Bought the truck new for $12,000, drove it for 16 years. Gave it to a nephew with 66,000 miles on it. He had it for about 3 weeks before wrecking it)

Mel getting her PR points in place before the divorce. She’s good. Epstein was a monster. But Bill liked him and wouldn’t give up associating with him. What does that say about Bill?
Maybe, but I can’t forget her smiling with Bill in those vaccine videos, or her inverted crucifix.
Epstein is fast taking the place of Hitler in Godwin’s Law. As soon as you need to defame someone or cannot make a coherent argument any longer, find a way to compare that person to Epstein, or find a photo putting that person in the same room with Epstein at some point in the past. That ought to do it!
I don’t see how some sorts of personalities, behaviours and effects and whatnot, along some lines of sociopsychopathy that currently thrive in these larger-scale contexts will last very long in smaller-scale, closer-knit, dare I say, ‘healthier’, contexts, like, say villages or smaller.
As things wind down, some folks who have seen their heydays might have a harder time fitting in as things wind down. It’s entirely possible that Klaus Shwab et al. could be fighting a losing battle on some fronts.
There will always be status-seeking of course, but pounding in those loose nails, seeing as they might live more closeby and have less capacity for ‘firewalls’, may be more possible moving forward.

Funny quote:
“You can see the quality of life in Ukraine. It’s the shittiest country in all of Europe right now. I mean, 25 percent of all the prostitutes in Europe are from Ukraine. That’s a fact,” said Bentley. Newsweek could not find any evidence to support this claim.”
My guess: Newsweek was not looking at the proper “websites” to find evidence in support of his claim…..lol
He was my facebook friend until he blocked me for some unknown reason.
He didn’t fight with Russia, he fought in Donbass. He was in the fight for the airport.
Note that US “news” can’t just report what he said, they have to put the official spin on it.
I am super surprised Newsweak would print that, unless they just want the guy to look like a nut.
Well, just a few weeks ago Ukraine was known as the most corrupt Nation in the northern hemisphere, a fact that seems have been forgotten. Why do you think the Bidens and the Kerrys were mixed up there?
The Syrian Civil War was largely fought with weapons systems illegally sold off by kleptocratic Ukrainian Army Officers after being shipped in from the US and the UK in various aid packages. Now new weapons are pouring in from all over western Europe and NAmerica, invariably most of which will be added to the Russian arsenal. Apparently weapons left behind by the US in Afghanistan are causing problems in Pakistan, destabilizing the (nuclear armed) country.
Humans are out of scale and complexity with the nation-state system. It is of a fundamental cognitive dissonance.
None of us here likely personally knows Biden or Putin. We only know of him and his ‘Flatland’ mediated/broadcast sound-and-imagery… like the images on the walls of Plato’s Cave, like The Matrix’s neural-implanted illusion.
I tried to find a video showing terrorists in Syria opening boxes of weapons from Ukraine and throwing an Arabian language fit because the weapons were defective.
What a shock!
The search engines of our freedom democracy couldn’t find that video.
Too bad. I don’t speak Arabic, but it was hilarious anyway.

Oh, if only we had a real leader.
“Diplomacy is the art of telling a person to go to hell and having them ask directions.”
W. Churchill
“Grown men do not need leaders.” ~ Edward Abbey
Few men finish growing up. They must be led. Not to do so is to surrender them to the wolves.
Even if we accept your premise that ‘few men finish growing up’, in what kind of society do few men finish growing up?
An infantilistic society? One that encourages it?
Some men– and women and others in-between for that matter– might do well to take their thumbs out of their mouths, Jarek, and wriggle out of their diapers and be a men, etc., and argue for an infantilistic society.
Insofar as it might take a village to raise a child, so it might take a different society to raise an adult that acts like one.
correction for the above:
‘…and be men, etc., and avoid arguing for an infantilistic society.’
…and add: ‘… and/or make excuses for some adult infants.’

https://www.simplypsychology.org/kohlberg.html
Kohlberg was one of the foremost theoreticians of human development, focusing on the moral.
I didn’t say people don’t develop at all, simply that most stop. See the “conventional level”. I mean before we embrace theories like De Smet’s “Mass Formation Psychosis” we should realize that conformity has a large place in the life of the average man. Surely we must know the norm before we study the exceptions.
It’s not long and well worth you time if you are interested in “Man”.
If you have a clear, concise and relevant argument and would like to support it through your link/author then feel free to do so and to use quotes from it.
It is not up to me to read it and help form your argument, or a better or more relevant one, for you.
Jarek, WRT ‘conformity’, you’re kind of helping to support my point WRT helping in our adult development to have comparatively better-quality, more mature societies, including ones that help and inspire more adults to be adult so that they need less babying.
Results from that sort of thing should, in turn, help in a greater general resilience and/or resistance against such phenomena as ‘mass formation psychosis’, poor leadership, self-victimization and other related sorts of undesirable phenomena.
Large segments of this clearly-dysfunctional global-industrial society seem to go out of their way to produce dysfunctional adult infants.

Tyrannies depend on force and fraud. If fraud fails, they must depend on force exclusively.
Orwell (approximate). The actual quote heads the article.
Nice piece. Secondary question, if we do have an “election,” will they even pretend that it’s legitimate? 2020 signaled to me that the old rules no longer apply in the least.
That said, I can’t think of anyone on the current scene who represents a legitimate alternative to the status quo, realizing of course that it will take a genuine movement, and not just one charismatic personality. Political solutions seem to be a dead end for the foreseeable future.
I doubt you’ll be able to vote for much longer without the Global ID/digital wallet that’s being prepared. No vaxx, no vote.
The truth on Fox news stopped at the Russian-Ukrainian border, not that they were honest about every single thing before. This is total surrender to the lie, to the distortion, to the global gargoyles.
SSL was right on about Hannity.
Was watching the Five and Geraldo comes out and says that Putin wants to exterminate the entire Ukrainian ‘race’. Yeah, it was Geraldo, but still.
Geraldo also said one A-10 Warthog could take out a 40 mile long armored column. Um-OK
Any airport, any carrier that launches attack aircraft at Russian planes or convoys is going to get cruise missiles down their throats. I get the feeling that to the “experts” this is just a big game of Stratego. To the Russians, they are not fooling around. Putting the S22s on alert should be enough warning to tell NATO to bug out.
Do you remember when the Deep State did not want to give the nuclear football to Trump? I shudder to think who has control of it now.
I Trump was there, none of this would be going on. He would have done his investigation of Biden’s dealings with Ukraine and the corrupt government there would have been dealt with.
One more, Finland better STFU too.
RT is shut down. (Maybe just a rumor)
Putin says he will agree to a ceasefire if Ukraine demilitarizes, West says that’s a non-starter.
Pardon the non-sequitur. I think it is shut down.
Ze must have a gun to his head from both sides. Apparently, and probably rightfully so, he fears what DC will do to him more than Putin. If he was smart, he’d settle, defect to Russia proper, and take his medicine. He might even be allowed to live a semi-normal life. Not rich or anything, but just normal.
They might give him some novichok.
Says he needs ammo, not a ride. Opportunity knocks.

That’s good advice.
Meanwhile, the Hedge is reporting the biggest nuclear reactor in Europe is on fire, struck by Russian artillery and surrounded by infantry, which is preventing firefighters from reaching the scene.
This sh#t is getting serious.
I have never heard such a line of horseshit from supposed “experts” as I have from Fox during this war. Every single “expert” downplays Russia and what they are not capable of doing to Ukraine. It is 100% baloney. Russia is going to kick ass on the Ukranians. Putin today said that all of Ukraine will be taken and converted. He is just now shifting into second gear and is going to annihilate the country if need be, the military part of it that is.
I LOL over the declarations that Fox is making about the sanctions shutting down Russia so they cannot do the job in the war. These are people running this country and its defense. I feel very vulnerable now.
This whole thing started on Jan. 20, 2021 when the most incompetent team of governors were brought into DC. The Deep State is completely incompetent now and all of us are going to pay the price, at the gas pump, in the food store, in our own self esteem.
Look now everyone, while you were sweating the load 100% about Covid, the idiots have created a nightmare, right under our noses.
RT is down on google, big surprise huh. You can get it on rumble last I heard.
More on the Schwab/WEF watch:
Thanks for the link to Polly St. George’s lesson on the New Global Shapers.
I went to the site and found their local hubs, in Boston, Cambridge, and Providence.
Looked at a few of the Linked-in links (not as detailed as the info found by Polly, but plenty to think about. No humble teachers or doctors here.
Then I saw a link to a video of **Professor Schwab” (!!!) addressing the Young Global Shapers. Professor of what, and where? Do these kids think he is a kindly professor of some sort?
Couldnt bring myself to watch much of the vid, but here is the URL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heWpq4dwHsc
The photo on the webpage for the Young Global Shapers hubs brings to mind an outfit like the Moonies. These people are definitely being “entrained” and groomed.
https://www.globalshapers.org/story
Another page showed them all raising their hand in a communal salute of some kind. Can’t find that photo now.
And—and this is my main thought—these are CADRES.
Tom Luongo is one who has not drunk the Putin = WEF stooge Koolaid.
Highly recommended reading regarding Putin/Russia’s further war aims, including taking down the whole Davos Reset project:
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/luongo-opening-salvos-thrown-what-are-putins-next-steps-ukraine
No, Virginia, Klaus Schwab is not a “Bond villain.”
Schwab is a cryptonazi who has made huge strides, more or less under the radar, to install a new type of fifth column worldwide that has *no* national loyalties (as do traditional fifth columns), but is actually more like a global personality cult. His use of the word “penetrate” (penetrating national governments and cabinets”) shows that he knows that these are basically subversives. They will be expected to be zealous in the pursuit of the “club’s” aims. Look at the various pages at the website. The ambitions of this organization are obvious. It is a cross-national order or some kind. Virtually all of the Cambridge, Mass, “shapers” look to me like foreign nationals.
It has doubled in size in four years. IMO, these are basically cells.
The whole thing is a dangerous development for actual government on every level: these people will have more loyalty to one another and the WEF than to their own countries. I agree with Polly, that these people should be outed by every local community and their careers and their activities tracked. I would submit that by seeking and accepting this WEF designation they have basically declared themselves to be public persons to whom privacy laws do not apply.
There is quite a lot of Covid-19 activitiy in the Cambridge, Mass. hub.
There seems to be a big upswing in membership in 2020–21.
They use the “.org” extension, but are they really a nonprofit?
Doesn’t a nonprofit have to incorporated or formed under the laws of a particular country? .
There is a very interesting comment here:
“https://medium.com/world-economic-forum-global-shapers-san-francisco/what-is-the-world-economic-forum-global-shapers-community-really-42c96eb7386f
Namely:
“On the last day of the conference, we realized: many individuals, including members of the Global Shapers Community, don’t know how to consistently answer the question: “What is the Global Shapers Community?” For my fellow Shapers, and for folks curious about our Community, I hope to offer some assistance. Spoiler Alert: No, we’re not Illuminati. ”
Oh . . . really.
So, let’s get our messaging straightened out, and no, we are not what we actdually kind of are, namely, an international organization whose mission is not that straightforward . . .
“Global Shapers is an international network of young people connected in our commitment to improving the world, starting with our own communities.”
Let’s emphasize “our own communities,” rather than what “improving the world” might actually come down to (such as executing actions connected with putting in place a global pandemic response , contrary to what local people in “our own communities” actually want . . . )
Excellent work, Islander!! Thank you. Gonna share your findings with friends.

Interestingly enough, she mentions “illulminate” again further down on the page, with more “slips” as to what this group actually is.

Twenty-two-year-old female footballer found dead. No cause of death.
Surely to goodness these players must be talking among themselves?
Kherson has fallen yet the Ukrainian flag still flied. Apparently he doesn’t intend to swallow it – and he has said as much.
Azovs killing people who try to leave Mariupol. Not very Aryan (noble). Hiding behind civilians is scumbag shit. Or wanting them to get killed by the Russians because that furthers the Cause? Fuck you guys.
What’s your take on the role of the Chechans in this pleasant little story?
My understanding, from I think Orlov, or maybe Martyanov, is that the Chechens are the mop-up crew to eliminate neoNazis en masse or one on one, as required.
BTW I highly recommend Andrei Martyanov’s videos (he has his own channel, and you can also see them at the Saker blog). He is a highly qualified militarly analyst and is also quite entertaining with his fairly heavy Russian combined with street USA-ian (I think he lives in the USA). Hi delivery is dry and low-key (Day 6 in the Ukraine war: “So, guys, here we are again . . . “)
He was the one who coined the phrase “country 404.”
I think he also originated “intelligence above room temperature.”
I also have a suspicion Azovs have posed as Russian defectors for the propaganda value. The Russians have announced that these types will be publicly executed. Of course our media with a few exceptions make out as if they are innocent civilians.
Some rays of sunshine have broken through the fog of war, with Dinesh d’ Souza talking today on Ingraham about US responsibility in Ukraine. He mentioned John Mearsheimer who said this in a good article from the New Yorker:
‘My argument is that the West, especially the United States, is principally responsible for this disaster. But no American policymaker, and hardly anywhere in the American foreign-policy establishment, is going to want to acknowledge that line of argument, and they will say that the Russians are responsible.’
https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-john-mearsheimer-blames-the-us-for-the-crisis-in-ukraine
The fact that the US or its proxies insisted that Ukraine be in the EU sphere was a warlike provocation to begin with. It is simple. And now more people than ever will suffer for a delusion. To truly save lives at this point we should be agreeing to the handover of Ukraine to Putin. But no one will say that.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is awfully wealthy and apparently owns a 34 million dollar mansion in Miami.
https://shtf.tv/zelensky-found-a-billion-dollars-and-a-villa-in-miami/
There it is then, Zs destiny when this unpleasantness is over:
Wintering in Miami, schmoozing with Cartel Bosses and bigtime Dem handlers on South Beach, Summering in Martha’s Vineyard, neighbors with Obama and John Kerry, hosting lavish parties where Z, Hunter Biden and Kerry’s stepson throw back tumblers of champagne and cut up a lid of the best weed while they reminisce over the halcyon days when Burisima was paying the boys $80,000 per week and the swindles went on beautifully and not impeded by any nasty and inconvenient war.
The Russians reportedly have control of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine which provides 25% of the country’s power. It is also the largest nuclear power station in Europe. Earlier there was a big scare that one of the reactors could have been on fire.
https://www.independentsentinel.com/russian-forces-take-over-ukraines-major-nuclear-plant-after-shelling-it/
Yea taken by the Russians after heavy fighting. Sure. It’s gonna blow and be ten times worse than Chernobyl if the Covid doesn’t kill us all first. All I see are the same video’s on all the major news networks. Played on a loop it seems. Video quality like a cheap kids camera. Where are the shooting videos? I’ve looked for a while and can’t find any. CNN had some Ukraine’s firing at an “unseen enemy”. OK. I did see some kids filling thousands of Molotov cocktails. What’d they do with ’em, fill their cars? Something just doesn’t add up. A few buildings blown up, same shots on different channels. We had better camera work from the front in WWI.
You know that video where the young tv reporter is reporting from a flood zone, and she floats into frame in canoe?
And then, right behind her, two locals walk by carrying groceries?
It is like that.
Exactly, I notice selfies of young women holding their AK’s are quite popular. Hair, make-up, and lighting perfect.
My kind of soldiers, leggy blonds striking a pose.
“Legs up to here” as we used to say.
Yes it is very strange in an army where every private soldier and his brother owns a cellphone with a video recorder button on it no actual video of small arms combat getting out to the larger media.
According to Dmitry Orlov’s latest update (this a.m.) things are well under control at Zaporazhde.
“I guess I’ll have to keep publishing some short notes on the situation in the Ukraine, since it’s all over the news and most of that is fake news. Overnight there was a ridiculous amount of noise about Zaporozhskaya AES, which is the largest nuke plant in Europe.
President Zelensky proclaimed that it is the new Chernobyl and that all of Europe will need to be evacuated. He was obviously drunk at the time.
What actually happened was:
At 11:11 AM Moscow time (about an hour ago) the authorities of Zaporozhye Region announced that Zaporozhskaya AES is under control of the Russian forces.
At 6:20 AM Moscow time the fire at the administrative building at Zaporozhskaya AES was extinguished with no casualties. It was probably set on purpose to create the media picture of “Europe’s largest nuke plant on fire!”
At 5:36 AM Moscow time the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that the fire in the area of Zaporozhskaya AES did not affect any of the main equipment at the plant.
At 4:47 AM Moscow time president Zelensky goes live to announce that the Russians are trying to create a new Chernobyl. A likely story, that.
Between 3:51 AM and 3:59 AM Moscow time fire crews were on site putting out the fire. Apparently, there wasn’t a lot for them to do.
Between 2:00 AM and 3:30 AM Moscow time there was a shootout at the power plant’s administrative building. Somehow it resulted in a fire at the administrative building.
So much for a new Chernobyl.”
