Really, you must agree: just about anything can happen now, and probably will, and possibly all at the same time — war, sickness, a disordered economy, chaos in money and finance, savages pouring across the open borders, assassination, mayhem in the streets, systems failure, mental illness everywhere you look. You have a sinister, blob-infested government acting like a desperate, cornered animal, fronted by a venal phantasm trailing a personal history of crime. What could go wrong? All of it.
The doings in Judge Merchan’s Manhattan court present the rectified essence of America’s authority problem. You will stipulate that judges are authorities in a pretty pure sense of the word. Their role is to determine what is right and what is wrong, or, at least guide the proceedings that would result in such a fair determination. And, of course, the officers of this court, the District Attorney and his prosecutors, are also entrusted with bringing comprehensible cases that follow the facts fairly, and the laws pertaining to those facts.
This maliciously misguided prosecution has only accomplished one thing so far: to demonstrate to the American public that the authority of our law has been contorted to become a sick joke. That is a ruinous lesson for the country. The free-for-all of our national life has required reliable adjudication of all the quarrels and inequities that arose out of it. For a long time, the rule of law was America’s great draw. If that goes out the window, all you’re left with is the free-for-all which pretty soon devolves into Thomas Hobbes’s nightmare existence in the state of nature where life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”
The current Trump trial in Manhattan will likely resolve this week, one way or another, though there is no way that the candidate will land in jail, even if he is convicted and sentenced to go there. That will only be another quandary for the foundering rule of law, and a dreadful challenge. Altogether this trial has alerted even the deranged news channels that the nation is still capable of feeling grossly insulted by its own rulers, and insults will be answered.
Tribulation may be the only answer that will avail to correct America’s tragic capture by blobs foreign and domestic. And you must understand that our nation’s bad choices have brought these tribulations upon ourselves. Fugazy finance is finally hitting the wall it has been seeking. Wealth based on pretense eventually runs out of hallucinatory mojo. Zooming gold and silver prices signal that the US dollar is in distress. The eagle is flying upside down.
A system based on credit is one thing, when credit can plausibly be paid back. But that system is gone. Finally, you must learn what truth or consequences really means, and the truth is that our debts are unpayable and everybody knows it. The consequences await. Any way you slice that — bond market blow-up, raging inflation, bank failures, stocks cratering, a “great taking” of collateral (your property) — the effect is the same: a crashing standard of living. That will get everybody’s attention in a way that Pride Month marches won’t. If “Joe Biden” thinks he will put over a central bank digital currency to cover for all this failure, he and the blob he rode in on will be in for a rude surprise.
Fugazy war isn’t working either. When did Ukraine become a problem for Western Civ? When Victoria Nuland & Company in the US State Department decided to make it a problem in 2014. Before that, going back into the mists of history, Ukraine was not a problem. It was a rather poor frontier province of Russia, and for a while was badly mistreated by Stalin, but it was not a problem outside of Ukraine and, frankly, it was none of our business. And in a matter of months, as Russia rolls up on the Zelensky regime, it will cease to be a problem for anyone.
The notion that the USA and NATO can reverse this now is insane. The nations of Western Civ won’t draft troops to battle on the ground there. There’s no will to fight in Ukraine among the young people of Europe and America. And we have no more guns or ammo to give. The war will end in humiliation for all concerned in the West, especially the “Joe Biden” regime, which has been recklessly flirting with nuclear aggression — as if this would accomplish anything but turning Western Civ into an ashtray.
Fugazy pandemic sponsored by a Globalist pharmaceutical cabal has shot its wad. It has already accomplished a great deal in the way of bringing death and injury to millions. Dim as the people have become in their fog of TikTok mind-fuckery, they have started to notice the dead and dying around them. And the people who stupidly or maliciously caused it to happen — Deborah Birx, Robert Redfield, all the treasonous news-readers like Chris Cuomo and Andy Cooper — have commenced their modified-limited-hangouts to try to escape culpability. They won’t, of course. There’s a fair chance that they will hang, and many others with them. But don’t expect the public to line up in the parking lots for more shots. And in the event of another bioweapon outbreak, the doctors may even remember their Hippocratic oaths and actually treat people with existing anti-virals. But do expect the public to get extremely pissed-off, if it happens again.
What has the blob (or blobs foreign and domestic) got left after those biggies? They can gin-up their Antifa mobs again. This time, though, they might be met by a million Kyle Rittenhouses. They can stuff every ballot box in the land, and surely will try with all their might and all their wiles. But I wouldn’t want to be a blobist the week after a fugazy election. They can signal their beloved “newcomers” to blow up bridges and power stations and shoot up a stadium or a mall here and there, but it won’t save their blobish necks. A lot of bad things are likely to happen over the year ahead, but it looks like America will finally refuse to become Fugazy Land.

I agree with the first paragraph. Not so sure about the last one though. Time will tell.
I loved that last paragraph. Picture Rachel Maddow swinging from a lamp post, righteous children with baseball bats using her as a pinata. Makes me smile.
Is she wearing a pantsuit and those really cool glasses? What is her “wife” doing?
The “wife” is off to the next.
I have a hearty chuckle every time I hear his “husband” or her “wife.” Its very comical.
Are you sure the weight of her arrogance and he fat ass won’t bend the lamppost so far that she’ll end up on the ground? Then maybe a place kicker could give her a couple well-deserved shotsfor corrupting American parents and their children.
“They can stuff every ballot box in the land, and surely will try with all their might and all their wiles. But I wouldn’t want to be a blobist the week after a fugazy election.”
The Battle of Athens, TN is a reminder of what is possible. One that could metastasize.
Things are happening. The polls show people fleeing from “Joe Biden”. What the Blob does next to block the people from taking back the country is the great mystery that will unveil itself soon.
The MN GOP just nominated Royce White to spread his anti-Blob message, guns are being purchased by more Americans, social media is or has already overtaken the main stream media.
Sure, many won’t get the message until the economic, military and cultural fugazy kicks them squarely in the nuts and they’re forced to choose sides. Call them the unprepared.
Yeah, the polls had Hillary winning the election right up until she didn’t.
Judges are Government employees (just like police). “Government is BY DEFINITION an inherently coercive, wasteful, & inefficient monopolist of ultimate decisionmaking & violence.” There is NO objective 3rd party to go to for help when Government has a problem with you…
To JHK:
:
“Before that, going back into the mists of history, Ukraine was not a problem. It was a rather poor frontier province of Russia, and for a while was badly mistreated by Stalin, but it was not a problem outside of Ukraine”
I KNOW you are a smart guy and I’ll just give you the benefit of the doubt that you may have never done a deep dive on Ukraine. From what I have studied Ukraine spawned our world today back when it’s leaders were named KAGANS and it was named Kazaria. There’s a growing body of research on this geographic area and it’s ties to Babylonia and the Talmud. Furthermore, discussion of this topic will get you kicked off Twitter / X – it’s a VERY touchy subject.
If the DNC expects no reaction to their hijinks, they are sorely mistaken.
I wish I were as optimistic as our host. But so far, it’s been crickets for EVERYTHING they’ve done, and judging from the people with whom I interact on a daily basis, that’s not likely to change.
My feelings exactly, Tuco. Most people I talk too aren’t even aware that the inflation they are experiencing is a result of the Fed printing money. Too much money competing for few goods. The entire concept is foreign to them.
We are dealing with a truly ignorant population…..by design….of course.
No, they think inflation is caused by high prices. They have no concept of economics. I don’t think they teach it in high school anymore. They don’t understand, for example, that wages and benefits are paid out of profits. Or they used to be, anyway.
A lot of people think water comes from the tap having no idea the complexities of the system required to provide potable water in their homes. A lot of people think meat comes from the supermarket having no idea the complexities involved in raising cattle, shipping it to slaughter and then processing it from slaughter to their grocery store.
Ignorance and stupidity are endemic amongst humanity. We haven’t evolved beyond these and probably won’t.
Liz Warren is out there blaming those darn monopoly grocery stores for price gouging.
Wages and benefits are expenses. Profits are what is left over after all expenses are paid.
Agreed…I’m seeing the same thing…..the crickets we’re hearing however ,could be the new food supply…..
Another clueless representative. Grocery stores have about a 3% margin.
She’s not clueless. She’s evil, and she knows she’s lying.
@Tuco22, I think the people with whom you interact daily (and with whom we’re all familiar) will go the way of the clueless in that they will have to be physically harmed before they understand. It will be too late then, and many may not survive what’s coming. They’ll be the victims of circumstances of which they were purposefully unaware. Every action that signifies, from that point on, will be made by the relatively small number of sane, normal people who have understood what’s happening and have prepared for it. They will remake our world in ways that we can’t envision. I think there’s reason to hope it will be a better world after the chaos that will rule for a while. We all know that the lackeys and servants of the WEF, the effeminate woke men and deranged, man-hating women will be cut down in the midst of their temper tantrums by the strong and sane, who have had enough of them. It will be ugly, but sanity will return once they are gone – either physically removed or relegated to their proper places. The Claudine Gays of this world (whatever their color) will no longer rule over institutions of higher learning, but (if they survive) will be found pushing a broom or peeling potatoes.
Tell them, Rowdy. Tell them about the stages of human development – and about how most people don’t go all that far and will never understand too much of anything. Tell them about Maslow and Kohlberg – especially the latter: Stages of moral development. Piaget too: Stages of cognitive development.
Modern psychology teaches hierarchy – but psychologists are too politically correct, philosophically inept, or just to scared to state the conclusion.
Jarek, I console myself with the realization that Nature, or Reality, is hierarchical and will assert itself eventually. You can force the capable and intelligent to move aside in favor of the dimwitted and inept, but not indefinitely.
There is a powerful undercurrent at work in our culture – the repressed rage of smart, able people who have been forced to lie and to accept the “supervision” of people who are orders of magnitude less intelligent and able than they are. That rage manifests so far in an almost womanly way, in that it is covert. That won’t last.
I’m reminded of a long screed I read recently, written by an engineer at Boeing who had resigned after a stellar 30 year career. His new “manager,” Ms. Shanika (as she wished to be addressed) was an unqualified DEI hire who created a situation in which no one could produce work of any kind – along with all the usual DEI nonsense and an ongoing atmosphere of accusation in which she wheeled her neuroticism, bizarre ideas, incompetence and mental derangements round the office, from one victim to another. I had the impression of a Fani Willis clone, of which there appears to be a limitless supply.
I can only imagine the justifiable anger of her victims, bubbling beneath the surface, seeking an opportunity to express itself. Realizing how often this scenario has played out at every level, everywhere in our culture, I have some idea of the level of outrage that surely exists. It will manifest eventually, and it won’t be pretty – but it will be necessary.
Rowdy, I love your comment. One of my theories about why we are living in this madness is because humans, temporarily, have learned now to avoid natural selection. In nature the weak and stupid are devoured, their genes eliminated from the gene pool and only the strong and intelligent continue to pass on their genes. In humanity, not so. Our species has found a way to avoid natural selection and protect the sick and the stupid. These people are quick to reproduce and pass their genes onto their progenitors. As such humanity gets even more and more stupider as each generation comes along. Hence the reason we have a many people inking themselves in unrecognizeable tattoos, piercing their faces with metal rings, coloring their hair purple and pink, eating themselves into massive obesity and, until recently, people who don’t even know what gender they are anymore.
Nature or reality will once again reassert itself and eliminate the weak and the stupid from amongst us. When will that happen? Soon, I fear, but who knows.
Cankerpuss, I just wrote a long comment and then started to read the old comments.
You actually illustrated perfectly the line I talked about, that so many people use, which is actually inaccurate.
Check it out.
Tuco: I think that will change when people realize that their social security, pension and SSD checks won’t buy a weeks worth or groceries—even the most ignorant will FEEL that hard! Starving people tend to react with anger, historically. OTH, they may just take the WEF’s guaranteed income and be happy (owning nothing and eating bugs made to look like meat).
The other issue is guns; if the communists start moves to register and further restrict all pre-existing guns or to confiscate, that will be a CW2 issue for the red states, from which people, with guns, won’t back down. Personally, I pray for CW2. IMO, the only solution to the current clusterfuck.
And some gun-owners in blue states. America has always had a somewhat frontier mentality. Just because someone lives in say, Connecticut, as an example, doesn’t mean all their residents will willingly accept the blob – at least that’s my hope.
Bill your in Eastern MA. Out here in the Berkshire hills it is a different state. The towns around me are majority Red. Once you get up out of the valley and into the hills the politics change.
@beantownbill, That’s true here in Maine and, I think, in most blue states. The actual division is city/rural. The same is certainly true in Pennsylvania. Rural PA and Philadelphia might as well be in different universes.
Good to hear. I was in residency and fellowship training with lots of people from blue states, but, then, they were completely brainwashed by med school, so it was hard to determine what/who they really were. I often suspected that lots of blue states are like Virginia, blue, with lots of gimmies, in the eastern and northern big cities, red everywhere else.
They’ll make getting benefits dependent on their compliance. That’s just the type of government we have. So, if their records show you bought several handguns over the last ten years, where are they? And if you sold them, where are the receipts? If you didn’t follow the “law” when selling them, you’re in trouble. Even though those laws have changed several times. If you can’t produce the guns or the receipts that you sold them, it will be “assumed” that you still have them but are hiding them. The rest will be history.
Tuco, the act or intent of telling this unhappy and hurting group – benefits recipients – that they have to give up some of what little they have to continue being beneficiaries; is asking them to fight. What they’ve been able to keep during this bullshit, and the means of defending what’s theirs; will be the line. I’m not talking gibsmedats, I’m referring to recent retirees, etc. such as myself; who would respond in unkind ways to such bullshit. I’m not saying “they” won’t try it. I am saying it will be much more than “not going well” in a likely kinetic way.
Corruption is worse than prostitution. At most, this jeopardises the ethics of the individual, which in all cases the ethics of the whole.
(Said Karl Kraus)
The hope in the last sentence is a typical Jim saying: don’t crack up, get yourself in order if you want to change anything. For me the American „ I can do“ approach was what most outstanding from all other countries of western civ.
People lose guns all the time in boating accidents, and they also give them away to the needy. 🙂
Guns can be laser printed with discretion even in New York. Just this fact is sufficient to divert a violent outcome among human beings.
OTOH Si amables con los animales.
i don’t believe you can print metal parts. necessary for functioning firearms.plastic barrels don’t last long.
You can easily print strong carbon fiber parts that are as strong as most metals for trigger groups and firing pins. I’ve seen it done with a Glock 17.
ST. Fire – Only needs to shoot one time…
I like the use of the word “fugazy” to head this post and describe our current nation state. I was not previously familiar with this term, but after looking it up, it certainly describes our current situation aptly.
The President of Iran is dead. How is this new event going to play out on the world stage? Is this the Archduke Ferdinand issue of the 21st Century? Time will tell….
I didn’t understand the entire quote.
The quote is getting at that fact that the end will come when everyone is so depressed that they feel all is lost and there is no coming back from the brink, then we have passed the event horizon. Historical truths are disregarded, and knowledge of past ages is no longer being passed down to beneficial use.
I see.
I wouldn’t exactly call myself depressed, but something changed when I read what Jordan Peterson said about the takeover of teacher colleges.
It started a cascade of realization of things that I already knew on some level.
What did Jo-dan say about these “teacher colleges”?
I posted it here a while ago. He pointed out that the teachers of today are products of captured institutions.
We’ve all been noticing what happened to our universities, but it’s all the separate colleges within the system that have been corrupted as well.
“You want the truth? Resentful radical leftists took over the Faculties of Education in the 1960s.
Now they control the entire K-12 system and half (half!) of all state budgets.”

Mostly women – who are far more malleable and care less about Truth in general.
They’ve always been mostly women.
The President of Iran is dead.
Looks like those ornery western intel boys have been up to no good again. Hopefully this will blowback on them in awful ways they haven’t anticipated.
It was probably just a weather, pilot error thing but the media would like to pin it on Isreal.
Poor Israel, they’ve never assassinated an enemy leader before. Who could believe they were involved?!
Israel doesn’t have a history of assassinating political leaders. Not that you would notice. You only notice what suits your deranged hatred, whether it’s there or not.
Didn’t they try to kill the King of Jordan once?
In any case, Gavrillo Princip, who killed Arch Duke Ferdinand was a member of a Masonic secret society called the Black Hand. He is considered by many to be a Jew.
Assassination goes back to Roman times, probably even further. It’s the human way. All the way back to Cain and Abel. Don’t give me what I want? Say something I don’t like? Have something I want?
@uncle abraham
The cleverer Zionists manage to lie without stating such brazen lies as
“Israel doesn’t have a history of assassinating political leader”.
Apparently, you are not among them. Instead, you like to bark loudly, resorting to such terms as “deranged hatred”, topped off by your blatant lie that “Israel has no history of assassinating political leaders.”
What did Israel do in March when it bombed the Iranian EMBASSY?
One can look on-line and find DOZENS of political leaders reputed to have been assassinated by the Israeli Government.
Not much of a surprise. After all, men like Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon built the state of Israel on murdering and terrorizing the native inhabitants. It’s a matter of historical record, distasteful as it may be.
Are you Jonathan Pollard? Maybe you can tell us how many American intelligence agents were compromised and killed thanks to Pollard’s treason.
YOUR comments are the epitome of deranged and delusional.
But I enjoy reading them!
No one makes a more eloquent case for how evil and lying the Israelis can be than you, Uncle Abraham (or Jonathan Pollard, if that is you).
Those are military people, not political leaders, involved in the actual murder of Israeli citizens, Soc. You lose every time you open your mouth.
Soc reminds me of the knight in the Monty Python movie getting dismembered by the other knight, yet goes on mouthing off and saying he had only received mere flesh wounds. Your bravado doesn’t hide the fact that I’ve destroyed you, Soc.
“Those are military people, not political leaders, involved in the actual murder of Israeli citizens,..”
A distinction without a difference.
Does the IDF follow orders? Whose orders? Does the IDF follow orders to murder [ other ] citizens?
“Israel doesn’t have a history of assassinating political leaders.”
Does the IDF have a history of assassinating military leaders?
Bluster.
MD, the facts have been misstated here for polemical purposes by supporters of Islamic jihad. That much is clear. As for Israel’s targeting of military leaders, it is substantively different than assassinations of those who haven’t dirtied their hands with the actual warfare.
As far as I’m concerned, however I have no problem with assassinating the Supreme Leader of Iran, who has been directing wars, along with his predecessor, against the US and Israel since 1979.
Do you? Whose side are you on? As if you haven’t made it clear enough already, but now’s your chance to declare it openly.
Land- Doubt it was CIA or Mossad. He got Kobied by fog.
I wonder if he saw a full guage railway from R to I across the top of that new dam?
Game changer if he did.
“The President of Iran is dead. How is this new event going to play out on the world stage? Is this the Archduke Ferdinand issue of the 21st Century?” ~ cowbell81
Copilot answer:
The untimely demise of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash has significant implications for Iran’s political landscape and international relations. Let’s explore how this event might play out on the world stage:
Immediate Transition:
President Raisi was Iran’s top elected official, but his death isn’t likely to result in significant changes in Iranian policies or conduct.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate authority, remains in charge. He appoints Raisi’s temporary replacement, Mohammad Mokhber, Iran’s first vice president1.
The U.S., Israel, and other countries in the region will likely continue dealing with Iran as before.
Regional Tensions:
Iran has longstanding conflicts and alliances in the Middle East.
The assassination comes amidst escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, raising concerns about regional stability and Iran’s nuclear ambitions2.
Potential Succession Crisis:
Raisi was considered a strong possibility to succeed Khamenei as supreme leader.
His death could clear the way for another potential successor, possibly Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei.
A hereditary succession could pose challenges to the Islamic Republic’s legitimacy1.
Economic Impact:
Raisi’s death may also impact Iran’s economy.
The nation faces economic challenges, and any instability could affect markets and trade relations1.
Now, let’s draw a parallel to history: Is this the Archduke Ferdinand issue of the 21st Century? The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered a series of events that led to World War I. While the circumstances are different, both events involve the sudden death of a prominent leader and have far-reaching consequences. However, whether it will escalate to a global conflict remains uncertain. The world will closely watch how Iran navigates this critical juncture
****
My conclusion: Copilot for President. Think of the money that could be saved if the job of politicians were eliminated.
If the message board comments were replaced with AI answers, I’ll bet that Q would think that he had died and gone to heaven.
The Donald as One Savior of America is uncomfortable – likely so for Donald Trump. Ben Franklin bedded French aristocracy to save America. Black Jack” Pershing in the Philippine insurrection war crime trained Patton. Stormin’ Norman Schwarzkopf ruined a beautiful chronic war within days (aided and abetted by a few Jews in Lockheed’s Skunk Works, radar stealth) an was politically disappeared.
Education has no content, morality is ended then predatory, debt is meaningless versus purchased votes, the streets are lethal without penalty.
(20K/day illegals[not only 20K])(365.24 days/year)(3years)…a million illegals for every major city costing aggregate $2 trillion/year uncompensated – room, board, medical, dental,, phone, $1000 month pocket lint…and fiercely reproducing within boredom.
Suburbia must make the ultimate sacrifice to hostel NuevAmerika. Perhaps 1933 Germany does not have free reign over Guy Fawkes Day 2024 as Amerikan history and its lone advocate snarls back.
Suburbia is a target.
It is the home of the Haves in America, the people that have worked hard and “made it”. The better schools are in-
Suburbia. The better stores are in-
Suburbia.
Suburbia used to be exclusively White, as in White flight. Still predominately so, but changing.
When the SHTF, all the have-nots, the left behinds in the cities are going to erupt and TAKE their share. It is already starting to happen in the cities, but when the resources move away, the HNs will come with them.
The suburbs were homeowners at first, now rapidly becoming apartment dwellers, and will become welfare housing dwellers down the road. Here, we are already seeing the latter as the cities try to avoid the violence that Have-Not movement entails.
As in everything else, the governments will fail especially when the Feds are just pumping in more immigrants, socialist people who do not have a clue.
All you Haves out there, stand by, the Have-Nots are coming for your stuff, gratis.
Our outer suburb (used to be an exurb) is making the change now as well. I recognize the signs from the now-wrecked suburb I grew up in, far on the other end of the metro in the 80’s.
Endless growth is the key now. Which of course must include “affordable housing”.
We have a newly-appointed city council member who happened to not mention her extensive DEI credentials when declaring candidacy for the seat. Now that she is in, those credentials are proudly displayed on the city website. From what I’ve seen of her so far, she is a complete moron. An ideological plant/place-holder. And online, she was a ghost until about 2022. I’d take another old, fat guy over her any day.
Yes, the burbs are going down eventually. In “regular times” I’d give ours about 10-15 years before it turns to more standard urban chaos being “normal”. But who knows, it feels the timeline has been consistently accelerating far beyond what the people here actually want. What do they want? Shit to stay the same. That’s why we’re here.
Working on an exit plan, just not sure it can be done in time. Well, it can…but perhaps not in style.
“Affordable housing” is just a euphemism for low-income housing or what we used to call “the projects.” It’s part of Obama’s “your neighborhood is too white” program continued under Biden. Rezone neighborhoods that were formerly single-housing into multiuse neighborhoods which allow them to usher in the “affordable housing.”
Obama, of course, will NEVER have to live with his constituencies.
Talent Oregon.
RE: Obama never live with consequences
He most definitely WILL live the consequences…for eternity.
LOL misread that…constituents not consequences
Edgar Steele in his book Defensive Racism suggests moving to a small podunk type town of preferably under 500 people with no social services or public housing. That way, the pocs won’t follow.
AZ – I agree with this dystopian picture. Living on a 2- acre lake home 15 miles south of a major US city, I can see the marauders coming thru the adjacent wooded park looking for their fair share. While it probably won’t fend off too many, I’ll be buying my first handgun and plenty of ammo soon. The AZ farmers near the border are getting an up front preview of what’s to come.
Yup! The now Blue AZ government are following Biden’s lead and ignoring the border.
Phoenix is becoming a Mexican cuidad.
They should tell the “newcomers” that the AZ governor’s mansion is up for rental.
Personally, I would direct them to erect tents on the lawn.
I would recommend a tactical shotgun loaded with 00 Buck. It is more of a pointing vs. aiming weapon and has some accuracy to 70 yards.
@JohnAZ
Suburbia.
Didn’t some one here write that “suburbia is the biggest misallocation of resource”, hmm?
Did you miss that?
Well, I’d say 2nd biggest. The US military-industrial complex is a much bigger misallocation of resources.
But the first quote is the ORIGINAL observation. An astute observation by JHK.
Not to take away from what you wrote.
Yes, many people who worked hard for the “American dream” (as defined by advertising, Hollywood, big business, and so forth), for a nice house in nice suburb.
I know many who did just that.
But ultimately, like every form of excess, suburbia has undermined the USA.
As Mr. Kunstler observed and WROTE, a lot of good farmlands not far from urban areas were turned into subdivisions.
Beside the end of “constructive use”, those farms were closer to the consumers.
At one time, Long Island, which is about 1/7 the size of New Jersey, produced 1/3 of the potatoes in the US. By 1960, the majority of the farms were gone.
As recently as 1960, there were farms near Mound Round and 13 Mile in suburban Detroit.
I saw it happen in Bethlehem/Hanover PA in the 90s, north of Route 78. And 10-20 years later, the exurbs of Detroit. People drive 30-60 miles one-way to work…
A sprawl that depends on motor vehicles.
A sprawl that was SUBSIDIZED by the taxpayers who did NOT have mortgages or itemize their tax returns.
That’s right–the mortgage interest deduction, the property tax deduction. An early example of selective cartel capitalism–which benefited FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate industries) directly, under the guise of “helping middle America”.
Los Angeles used to produce a whole lot of citrus, and other vegetables and fruits.
It even has a county named Orange County.
Those orchards have long since been paved over, and sprawling houses built.
Millions of new people combined with loss of farmland. What could possibly go wrong?
Larry Littlefield over at Room 8 used to write a lot about how the cities subsidized the suburbs.
That’s why it’s important to have an exit plan. You know what’s going to happen to your property once the have-nots get it, don’t you? Extract what wealth you can from it and then sky.
Suburbia’s not going to survive without a massive influx of peoples. Whites aren’t breeding! You know who is going to be blamed for this – but they are innocent!
I agree with the last paragraph. When things start getting dangerous, the good people will react. There’s a lot of anger and disgust in this Country. If the good people get started, they will not quit until things are cleaned up!
Illegals and politicians are on shaky ground. They better do some soul searching, now!
It’s illegal to do anything to illegals, and we are a nation of laws, after all.
Yet it happens anyway.
If you invade a nation and dont try to hide, then you become an obvious target.
Anarcho-tyranny. Laws in this country are only enforced against middle class whites.
Yes, I was being facetious. Anytime I talk about the “law” in this country, I’m being facetious.
I know. I was just adding my three cents. Inflation being what it is.
@Bullitt
Let’s see if they are willing to kill a bunch of black and brown people first without worrying about the “racist” label being slapped on them.
Gee, I don’t know about that, TruthSeeker1986. About the worst thing you can be called in America 2.0 is “racist.” It seizes up the inner organs and paralyzes you. They’ll have to resort to going after those “white supremacists” instead because it isn’t a crime to kill them, and didn’t Joe come on national TV a couple of years ago and call them the greatest threat to our democracy? So there you go!
Speaking of white supremacists, RFK Jr. used the Southern Policy Law Center as his source when talking about the yuge increase in right-wing violence.
There is no big increase in right wing violence, and the SPLC is a commie front and either Jr. doesn’t know that or he does know and I don’t know which is worse.
You’re “right wing” if you’re not a Marxist or in the lukewarm center, which is the second-preferred position of the PTB for the hoi polloi.
@Beryl, The more he speaks, the more he disappoints me. If I give him the benefit of the doubt, which is my default position, I might assume that he has been so deeply involved in the vaccination issue that he’s simply unaware of how infused with woke every entity is. He does seem educable and willing to modify his positions. But I don’t really think it matters at this point, because I don’t think there’s the least possibility of his being elected to any office.
Beryl, I don’t even bother following RFK Jr’s political comments anymore since his infamously poor choice of VP…
We can only hope that Trump learned from his mistakes last time around. As far as the trial is concerned, how is it that people can’t see that it is the blackmailer who committed the crime : Stormy is the perp. Talk about a lawless society…
I think whatever common sense and sound reasoning RFK Jr has is being eroded in good measure by the influence of his liberal wife. And that’s on him, by the way, not her.
Racist is the biggest piece of BS ever.
Most of the non-Black folks do not give a rat’s ass about White Supremacy, they are just getting along themselves without caring who their neighbors are or who is hanging out around them.
A very small group of idiots may be raising hell, but it is very small. Most whites, Asians, Latinos do not care.
White supremacy is a total cop-out. It is used for power acquisition, mostly by white politicians.
And you think Asians and Latinos don’t care about power?
In fact they do. And many of the young Latinos and Asians see “White racism” as their path thereto as part of the Democrat party.
Let’s hope it never comes to anything like that TS.
If White, Brown, Black, or Yellow people are threatening my existence, then they will be placing themselves in jeopardy. This is a nation of laws. When the legal system or our politicians create a scenario where our lives and families are in danger then rest assured the good people will react accordingly. If you sit back and do nothing, then maybe you have nothing to complain about. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.
We’re a nation of whoever has the biggest gun gets to set the rules. The law doesn’t apply to you if you try to exercise traditional rights. They’ll make as many examples as they have to until the hoi polloi get it.
Invaders?
What went around is comin by for a visit.
Millions of people were purposely slaughtered on this land by RACIST eurotrash centuries ago.
Sorry kids
I don’t think they worry about labels. It is way beyond any subtle references spoken in secret.
Call them hypocrites… it’s not a news flash, they’ve known they are and chose a long time ago to ignore the label.
They create their fantasy reality and live in it. They sell membership to the gullible.
These people who destroyed the former Republic knew and know exactly what has happened. They want to avoid the consequences of a beyond pissed-off populace.
Hemp is renewable and many times reuseable. Lamp posts and tree limbs abound in the former Republic. Carion-consuming species abound.
Dark days are here, only getting worse. I’m one who meets problems head-on. There’s still too many can-kickers clogging the road and getting in the way of those more akin to my approach.
Malignancy is not resolved favorably by merely looking at it.
I read an article about the coming collapse and subsequent food shortages. A lot of people say that they don’t do food storage because they’ll just come and take the food of those who stored it. The author had a point that I hadn’t considered. He stated that there might be gangs of food bandits in the early beginnings but they won’t last long. In the absence of government and in a country that is as armed as the USA, those roving bands of food bandits won’t last long as those who have the food will fiercely protect it. In a matter of days the thugs will be dead.
America is full of ignorant, stupid, decadent people. No doubt. But there are also many good, intelligent, decent people out there who are pissed off and who are armed to the teeth. I am one of them. I would like to think that in the absence of law and order these people would band together to protect what they have.
Bingo!
Previous natural disasters show that people tend to come together to help each other through.
Crimes do occur but they are mostly property related.
That’s why it is necessary to know your neighbors and form a bond of nutual trust and defence.
You know, if you had the means and didn’t have to worry about them being diseased in some way, you could use those roving bands of food bandits for food yourself.
Now that’s sustainability!
I would prefer to use them as fertilizer before I resort to cannibalism.
“I would prefer to use them as fertilizer before I resort to cannibalism.”
Humans would make for poor fertilizer, processing those bodies into fertilizer is impractical. We have millions of dogs in the USA that will need food during the hard times as well. Why not first feed your ememies to the dogs, then compost the dog poop and make *that* into fertilizer.
Back during the covid propaganda, they tried to get people to kill their pets, because “they could give you covid”.
I was not the only one who said, out loud, that anyone who came to kill my dogs would end up dog food. I think that even people who usually go along with anything their overlords propose balked at that one.
So they backed off on that one. Now they say that your pets cause “climate change”.
Same solution, imo. Who causes more climate change, my dogs, who don’t drive or fly planes, or some government thug hired to go around killing pets?
Do the planet a favor, if one of them shows up at your door.
Greta will be proud.
I’d bet if they’re “roving,” a cauldron of boiling water otta make ’em good enough.
I read the other day not to use pet poop for fertilizer.
Yes, and I read the other day that glyphosate does not cause cancer…
@ tuco:
No, you shoud not use the manures of meat-eating animals for fertilizer, as they are likely to contain parasites. Some people use human manure, but only in specific circumstances. For example, if you have an outhouse, you will probably need to move it from time to time. The human manure in the pit can be allowed to compost, and, after awhile, a tree can be planted over it. It’s okay if it’s a fruit tree. The idea is that the soil, which may be contaminated, does not come in contact with the edible parts of the plant.
You would not spread composted human manure on garden soil.
*Properly* composted human waste is actually just fine for garden soil. Parasites can’t live in the ground, they need a host to live in. Trouble comes with parasites like hookworm. If you don’t properly dispose of human waste and are walking around barefooted you can get those worms yourself. Hookworm eggs deposited in outhouses can’t remain viable in there for that long.
Yeah, think of small towns with full food larders as a magnet for the “armies” of thugs coming out of the cities.
Have you ever read, “Lucifer’s Hammer”. A damn good apocalyptic book about the destruction from a post Comet hit. Its description of the emptying out of LA is scary.
@JAZ:
Great story, but I forget much of it. Wasn’t that the one with hot fudge Tuesday?
@ JohnAZ:
I don’t think that many people who live in small towns have full food larders.
Cank… “I would like to think that in the absence of law and order these people would band together to protect what they have.” Many of “these people” have advocated and encouraged for years, that as many of “these people” as can, band together prior to the absence of law and order, in forming communities to protect what they have, and their way of life. But too many won’t do such a thing until it is too late. Their current locale, untenable in the near future for reasons we all see on the horizon; is “home” – and will be so until it is taken.
“Get out of the cities – a year too soon.is better than one day too late”
Canker- You need to read Selco’s account of the Yugoslavian civil war to see what happens with the SHTF, and how to survive it.
I agree 100%.
I have long contended that the good people of this country recognize that something has gone terribly wrong. They are trying their hardest to use the system to fix it. Nobody wants to throw their life away, as will happen as soon as the next civil war breaks out.
I was listening to NPR this morning and they were very worried about “election deniers” using the system to fix elections.
They said that while they were looking at Big Picture election fixing (I paraphrase) people had been running for lower offices that would allow them to stop election stealing (my interpretation of what they actually said, which was such mumbo jumbo that I forget now).
So yeah, good people are working to stop the total destruction of this country.
That includes Meryl Nass, a one woman force of nature who has organized national resistance to the WHO treaty which now includes 29 state attorney generals, and all Republican senators (except they are doing a wishy washy plea that is pretty worthless, imo.)
Paula – These good people you describe are rising up everywhere.
Bullitt – I agree with you 100%. Good people are getting hardened to the reality of what we’re facing. These are the people who normally go about their lives, taking care of their family, and minding their own business. Whoever is behind the Blob running our country has underestimated the will and the fighting spirit of the patriotic American. I for one am ready to have liberty or death. There will be no place to hide.
Instead of the tired and worn out liberty or death meme, why not try secession instead? Then go fight and die for that……..
Liberty or death is timeless, just as is the American Constitution and Bill of Rights – If you’re tired of it then step aside. We don’t need to recreate anything new.
The US Constitution means nothing if people ignore it and don’t follow it, and that’s happening now. Republics and democracies have much shorter life spans than monarchies. The Bill of Rights is worthless if nobody cares enough to defend any of it. In a republic where the levers of government are acessible to worst of the psychopaths and criminals as the scum floats up to the top and empowers itself. Because elected governments have no way of keeping out the unqualified sociopaths and gangsters – the average lifespan of a republic is 250 years. The USA has hit its expiration date and its *very* obvious.
I agree. The cynics here aren’t aware or able to see these things – there are many who will rise to the occasion. Wait for it and watch while you’re waiting.
Andrew Bridgen reckons (having spoken to the Russian Ambassador) that the citizens of the UK will be informed in July./August, or a little later, that we are at war with Russia, which, in terms of the information in the clip, we already are (US, UK, France …).
x.com/SaiKate108/status/1789578658128310330
Rishi Sunak allegedly wants out, because he doesn’t want to be a wartime prime minister (you don’t say …).
Is Sunak the PM of Pakistan? Surely, he can’t be the leader of a Western nation.
His family are Indian. He is self-evidently PM of a nation in which he was born. Not that I have any time for him. His loyalties aren’t to India or to the UK.
He looks Pakistani to me.
Hate to break it to you, but Pakistan used to be part of India.
Also not sure what your criteria are. There’s a lot of difference between Indians and other Indians, and presumably between Pakistanis and other Pakistanis. Life is like that.
Thanks for all of this great information. You are a fount of knowledge.
He still doesn’t look like a George or a Henry to me.
Still no interest in the key point of my post, and I’m guessing no-one had a few minutes to spare to listen to Andrew Bridgen talking about imminent not-phony war between Russia and the UK. I don’t think my chances of surviving an attack by the Russians will be improved by Keir Starmer being in power, but that’s just me.
Ah well …
“He still doesn’t look like a George or a Henry to me.”
Me neither. Your parents must have made huge sacrifices. 🙂
“You are a fount of knowledge.”
Not at all. Not knowing about Indian partition would be a bit like not knowing there was an American civil war.
There has never been an American civil war.
If you say so. Who am I to argue?
No sense arguing against an easily verifiable fact.
I had forgotten that you were the one who posts those annoying smiley faces.
I haven’t posted a smiley face in months. Not surprising you had forgotten. I wanted to be sure you knew I was kidding. Sorry.
She doesn’t really believe in nations, much less races, but rather only “morality”. Another Lady Jellyby
RD3 writes: “There has never been an American civil war.”
Exactly! In a real civil war we have two sides fighting for control of the government of a country. In a fake civil war, like ours was, we have a country (CSA) fighting simply to be left alone – the CSA wasn’t fighting to take control of Washington DC. They were fighting instead to be and independent soverign nation.
“She doesn’t really believe in nations, much less races.”
I’d love to ask you to find written evidence of that calumny but why would I bother?
Croak, croak.
If it keeps people happy, ‘ not knowing about Indian partition would be like not knowing there was an East and West Germany after WWII’.
Hope that helps.
There are ethnic differences within India.
A speaker at my church who was from India said that people usually assumed he was Chinese, and he did look Chinese.
Indeed, Beryl. And some of them are Christians, especially in Kerala.
@GreenAlba
That or either he’s scared, which I don’t blame him. But his ass have no business running the UK in the first place. Go back to India and govern there. That’s what he should do.
Oh wait you said Pakistan. Well return there then. Wherever the hell the guy came from.
He was born in England. His parents come from India.
It’s just ignorance to say Pakistan.
It is important to be dismissive of interlopers.
A joke I copied about who is in charge of the world. Jarek will hate it, because it’s not the Jews.
The CEO of Google is Indian.
The CEO of Microsoft is Indian.
The CEO of Adobe is Indian.
The CEO of Net App is Indian.
The CEO of Mastercard is Indian.
The CEO of DBS is Indian.
The CEO of Novartis is Indian.
The CEO of Diageo is Indian.
The CEO of SanDisk is Indian.
The CEO of Harman is Indian.
The CEO of Micron is Indian.
The CEO of Palo Alto Networks is Indian.
The CEO of Reckitt Benckiser is Indian.
The CEO of IBM is Indian.
The PM of Britain is Indian.
The British Interior Minister is Indian.
The PM of Ireland is Indian.
The US VP is Indian.
It’s more important to note that, in being a representative of the global cabal, it makes not one whit of difference whether he’s ostensibly in power or Sir Keir Starmer, who has declared his preference for Davos over Westminster on national TV and who is a member of the Trilateral Commission.
Starmer will, in fact, be more dangerous.
Not least because he’s being wound up from the back by Tony Blair.
Paula D, India is now the most populous country on the planet. It should not surprise us that they are infiltrating every organization on the planet.
The Ladies think he is as English as anyone else. He was born there! Just as a hamster born in a goldfish bowl is a goldfish.
Kind of like Barry Soetoro is an “American.”
Give it an effing rest, clown. He’s British. You can try to change the rules if you want to or you can carry on making pointless points. He is not ethnicallly English, he is legally British. There is no law that says someone who is legally British but not ethnically English cannot be a PM of the British state. You may not like that, but repeating facile points is pointless.
The Royal Family are not ‘English’ either.
If you want a law that says ‘no-one born in the UK who has a black or brown face can be an elected representative’, then move to the UK and start campaigning. Otherwise, like I said, give it a rest.
“Oh wait you said Pakistan.”
No, I didn’t.
“Go back to India and govern there.”
He didn’t come from India. He was born here.
Just as you were born in the US and not wherever your antecedents came from.
Send him to New Guinea then. Not Pakistan or India.
@GreenAlba
Who the fuck cares about that? I can be born in Japan but that doesn’t make me fucking Japanese.
It might make you legally Japanese. It’s not going to make you ethnically Japanese.
Perhaps, unlike the UK, Japan has a law that says people born in Japan and with Japanese nationality, but with white faces, cannot be elected representatives. Who knows?
Nobody cares what you give a fuck about. It’s either legal for a non-white legally British person in Britain, or for a white legally Japanese person in Japan to stand for election or it isn’t.
Jumping up and down indignantly is just jumping up and down indignantly.
In other words, legal is the same as moral? And you don’t care about peoples and the nations they build if you allow anyone to just waltz in and legally live there.
“In other words, legal is the same as moral?”
In other words? Oh, you mean in entirely different words that nobody said except you?
(A) Nobody said legal was the same as moral, unless I missed something. (B) They’re two separate words, with two separate meanings. When they coincide, that’s good. Sometimes they do.
I don’t care? I ‘let them in’? Who do you think I am, the bleepin’ Home Secretary? They don’t even ask me what day I want the bins emptied, let alone who gets into the country. But in the event, he was born here (repeat at nauseam …). Some time ago, even.
Do remember that they let ‘us’ in too and ‘we’ did spectacularly well out of them. Jewel in the crown, and all that. Recall that I had no say in that either.
Stop whining. It’s not your country. If you want a say in it, move, just as I would if I wanted a say in yours. You could email any of our elected representatives, of course,, and get it off your chest – their emails are all available. It’s just that they don’t reply to people outside their own constituency, unless they want to, let alone in another country.
So, nobody cares that Andrew Bridgen has just opined that the citizens of the UK are going to be told in July/August that they are at war with Russian, and everyone wants to concentrate on the fact that Rishi Sunak’s parents are from India (once they’ve figured out the difference between India and its neighbour).
Way to go, fellas. That’s what they’d like you to focus on.
Yeah, I’d be trying my best at this time to stock up on food and other items that might come in short supply, the war with Russia as the excuse.
I have cans of soup for about a fortnight!! But my flat is small so a month is probably our limit … And, when push comes to shove, I’ll have to pass some on to my daughter and her family (not even going there with her, in terms of terrible stuff about to happen), so it could be just days. I guess it will be Providence or nothing.
@ GreenAlba:
Your best bet is probably dry beans and rice–with maybe some other items to make these more palatable, like canned tomatoes and dried onions and garlic. In the US (Midwest), I think people should have some dried seaweed. You can store a lot of food under the bed.
Thanks Anthea. Sadly my bed has integral drawers underneath it as we have a storage problem generally, before you start on prepping!
@ GreenAlba:
My present house is quite small (I think the living area is only about 600 sq. feet, with a porch that is maybe another 200 sq. feet), so storage space is a problem here, too. When I moved in, I bought a couple of tall, skinny pantries that are about 5 feet tall, for home-canned goods.
I also bought some of those plastic storage containers intended for sliding under the bed. (They are on wheels.)
My previous house literally had no closets. Over the years, I built a couple, but, even so, every coffee table (or anything else that served as a low table) was a storage chest.
Many years ago, I was talking with another single mom about our strategies for stockpiling food, in case of job loss, illness, or whatever. She said that she had a big stash of canned goods under the dining table, hidden by a long table cloth.
My biggest food-prepping problem is that I’m diabetic, so most staples are poison to me. Most of my stash consists of canned chicken fish, and seafood. (Canned beef is pure dog food.) Other meats are in the freezer on the porch, which is pretty full.
I have a very low income, but there is very little that I either want or need, and, like most old people, I eat like a bird. This means that I really have quite a bit more income than I need. I’ve actually made it a policy to buy a whole beef tenderloin about once a month, to stash in the freezer. My daughter cuts them up into steaks and then renders the fat for tallow, because it’s wonderful (she tells me) to cook with. Seems to be an economical way to get high quality beef.
Yeah, I care Green Alba.
I think citizens of the UK and France are not going to need to be told they are at war if we are to believe what the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council – one Dmitry Medvedev – said last week.
For context, Storm Shadow missiles are British. SCALP-EG missiles are French. These weapons are being used against Russian soldiers as we type.
Allow me to quote Mr. Medvedev:
“Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles are not controlled by military personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine but by the British and French who arrived in Ukraine. That is why the response to such actions will not be long in coming and the target will not only be Kiev but also London and Paris.”
The people posing as leaders of those countries are running the risk of being dragged out of office and hung from the lampposts. With testicular fortitude being in short supply in those countries and ours, it seems the leaders are willing to take that risk.
Exactly, C.O. That’s pretty much what the Russian Ambassador said to Andrew Bridgen. I wish I could see the whole interveiw but it’s behind a paywall. Doc Malik having had to abandon a successful career as an orthopaedic surgeon to speak some covid truths.
“The people posing as leaders of those countries are running the risk of being dragged out of office and hung from the lampposts.”
Sadly, I hardly know anyone in my admittedly small entourage who doesn’t embrace the mainstream media version of events (Putin is literal Hitler). In fact, make that ‘I know no-one’.
I want to think the level of outrage is rising but I’m having a hard time agreeing with our esteemed host.
$61 bill, bill, BILLION MORE for a war that is already lost? Are you kidding me?
I don’t know anyone who even blinked.
Did you hear about the NOTAM last week on the west coast of the US? That’s Notice To Air Missions. The reason? Russia was conducting missile launches off the California coast.
Do you suppose London and/or Paris in smoking ruins would get the attention of the citizens?
Russians do not bluff and Mr. Medvedev would never make such an utterance without the approval of his boss.
Please pass the popcorn.
“$61 bill, bill, BILLION MORE for a war that is already lost? ”
As we know, the point is not to ‘win’ the war.
Also, I have my doubts that they will create a situation where Russia ACTUALLY nukes (or otherwise bombs) London. Unless our elected (and unelected) representatives, nobility, aristocracy, movers, shakers and general rich bods are currently in bunkers, operating in London as holograms, they’re not going to risk it. Fingers crossed, obviously.
I’ll bet JHK feels your pain. His last post on the WHO Treaty’s proposal of global governance and the destruction of national sovereignty and human bodily integrity, was immediately hijacked by the Genocide in Gaza people.
I don’t know what to say about your rulers announcing in July/August that you are at war with Russia.
Except that if they use Storm Shadows on Russian territory before then, you won’t have to be told. You’ll see for yourself.
I think the acronym FAFO applies.
Yep.
The US VP is Indian.
uh, no, she is a mud. like Obama.
Also, I deliberately didn’t include you in the ‘fellas’, Paula, as you were merely correcting what someone said!
@Paula
“…hijacked by the Genocide in Gaza people.”
Really?
Your hero, our hero, Dr. Meryl Nass points that the WHO would “be legalizing censorship, requiring nations to monitor their citizens social media, and if they said anything that went against the WHO, suppressing it”.
You don’t see any connection with how the precedent set by
HR 6090 – The Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 having the potential to censor and penalize free speech by deeming unpleasant truths “antisemitic” and thus criminal
might make enable the US government to implement the WHO restrictions on free speech?
It’s the same principle–shut people up so they don’t interfere with the blob’s plan.
More than once, you have, correctly, pointed out the US invasion and occupation of Syria.
Yet I don’t recall you ever mentioning the frequent Israeli bombings in Syria that pre-date the Israeli attack on the Syrian embassy.
We can debate whether Israel is destroying “Palestinian sovereignty” (a lot of folks think there is no such thing), but from what I and most people can see, the Israelis are destroying a lot of human bodily integrity these days–far more than their usual.
As you should know, SD, I do not support the bombing of Gaza. I think that Israel should have only targeted Hamas.
But I have this thing about hyperbole that leads to inaccuracies.
Indiscriminate bombing is not “genocide”.
Israel has not been occupying Gaza since 1947.
Killing civilians is not “self defense” when Hamas does it.
Plus, I have an aversion to jumping on the bandwagon, any bandwagon.
I find it extremely suspicious that the media is focusing so much on this particular atrocity, (while ignoring all other atrocities, as usual), and I refuse to join the purple-haired mob out screaming for Jewish blood.
And I think that the WHO treaty will kill a lot more people than are being killed in Gaza, as well as destroy what is left of our civil rights. Therefore, I am more focused on that, and the gain-of-function biowarfare research labs (which the Fauci stooges deny even exist.)
I posted Mike Benz more than once, on the topic of censorship and repression.

“Plus, I have an aversion to jumping on the bandwagon, any bandwagon.”

Ha, ha, perfect. Thanks, GA.
The racist losers here are not speaking for me, or I presume, many others reading this blog and comments. Thank you for speaking up sensibly and civilly.
Abe doesn’t think Whites have the right to their own nations. But he thinks that we should fight for his nation.
He also seems to think that there is some sort of shared “Judeo-Christian” tradition.
Your elderly have been freezing to death for decades so immigrants form India and Pakistan could live in the UK. And your girls have been groomed and raped. But you preferred to focus on the plights of other peoples.
Too busy worrying about a famine in Africa to help his neighbor move the refrigerator.
‘His’ neighbour? I think even my husband would struggle to move a refrigerator at this stage.
But I’m not sure who you’re talking about as I didn’t mention famine in Africa, but rather the imminent possibility of a serious attack ON THE UK.
I would think that Putin would be a more reliable source than Medvedev.
The way I interpreted his words is that the UK military would be attacked, and not necessarily in Ukraine, which is new. But it leaves open a lot of places that are not the UK.
I think that they would escalate in other places before they hit London.
That said, our overlords are reckless enough to keep pushing until Paris, London, Brussels and Washington, DC are hit.
In the US we are such a big country that most Americans would survive a hit on Wash, DC.
Personally, I think most people would shrug and say “No big loss.”
It’s obviously different on the isles where you live.
@ Paula D:
If the Russians decided to launch an attack against the US, the primary targets would be military installations capable of launching a counter-attack, and of command centers like the Pentagon. In my area, the main military installation would be Whiteman AFB. They might also want to take out Lake City Arsenal.
I’m not even sure I see the strategic importance of targeting major cities, except possibly DC–and I’m not sure the denizens of DC are of any real importance. They’re just errand boys.
Now, if they targeted the central banks, I suppose that could create a lot of problems.
Targeting the major US cities would be doing us a favor.
You are right, Anthea. So far the Russians have avoided hitting major cities even in Ukraine.
I have no idea if there are military targets around here. One time on Amtrak, a Swiss couple showed us a map of the US they had, warning them to avoid US military bases.
I was gobsmacked to see how much of US land is taken up with military bases.
There doesn’t seem to be any place that doesn’t have something military connected to it.
Not far from my house, they make depleted uranium missiles.
That would probably be a target.
Bollocks.
Note that the NHS wouldn’t even have survived this long without all those doctors and nurses from the Commonwealth.f
If you lived here and you were dying, you would be welcome to turn down their professional help.
Green- The NHS is alive? I hear the opposite, which is why they threw a nurse in jail when babies die.
Mac
I said ‘survived as long as this‘ deliberately. To all intents and purposes (those relating to keeping people well and not bumping them off) it’s dead, although its ghost continues to function because the people who work in it still go to work. Most of them are good people. Some aren’t.
I presume you are referring to Lucy Letby, but I have no idea what point you are trying to make about her. Her guilty verdict may have been unsafe, but that still wouldn’t tell me one way or the other if she is guilty. I didn’t look into it that closely, specifically for that reason (that I wouldn’t get anywhere).
There have, however, been staff in the past who have killed babies deliberately. It’s very, very rare. Harold Shipman was also very, very rare, but he used the trust his patients had in him to kill a lot of elderly ladies and steal their money, because he was a psychopath. It happens.
I really like that cardiologist who braved the slings and arrows of Big Pharma and its vassals to speak out against the GMO injectable, after it killed his father.
I can’t remember his name, but I think it’s a Pakistani name.
He’s a hero.
Aseem Malhotra. He is jabbed himself and pushed the jabs to start with. His dad was my age but super-fit. He had been a doctor too. Aseem M. was, as it happened, familiar with his dad’s medical history and test results. He was still playing squash and had no cardiac problems or artery problems.
@GreenAlba
I care! I went to the website.
With all due respect, Bridgen is simply stating the obvious.
He has more credence because he is an MP, vs a commenter on CFN.
I hope people here take the time to read the blurb and watch the 4 minute clip with “Doc Malik” and MP Bridgen.
(an aside: “To make money, all we need is next week’s newspapers today”. Very clever quote about how the globalists work. I liked that.)
Britain has been, after the US, the most vocal proponent of war against Russia.
At the behest of the US, the Britain and the EU embargoed Russia (they CUT THEIR NOSE to spite their face). They FROZE Russian financial assets (that’s theft, part one). Now they are engaged in literally taking the assets (complete the theft). These actions are an economic WW3. If the war ends tomorrow, Europe will pay for years. The disrupted relationships that were MUTUALLY beneficial between Russia and Europe will not return.
Remember your girl, Liz Truss? Her famous text? “It’s done.” Like Tony Soprano. Nordstream gone. That’s your (and my government). Some has to be held accountable? To pay, don’t you think?
You make many astute comments. I’m sure you knew all of this. So why are you surprised and alarmed today?
Maybe Richi is saying he doesn’t want to be a “war leader” because he feels he will be trounced and doesn’t want to be tagged as a loser.
He is very bellicose. Like his two Tory predecessors.
They are prolonging this war. It’s a game. Just like our POS Secretary of State playing “Rocking in the Free World” in Kiev. It’s a game.
But real Russians (and Ukrainians) are dying. along with assorted (sordid) Westerners.
I think Russia will “prevail”, but at what cost?
I hope the Russians manage to kill all the Westerners on the ground there or lock them away in Siberia permanently.
You are in a similar boat as we are here in the US. In both nations, there is not enough public outrage that translates into ACTUAL political action to stop feeding this wrong, US-instigated war. And too many people are too ignorant, thanks to their deficient education and the propaganda of the government and MSM.
I like you. Unfortunately, both our countries, especially OUR countries, have much to atone for. So, enjoy your day, judgement is coming.
Till then, all you can do is try to talk to people and get them to open their eyes. Good luck!
You’re right S-D, I do know all that. I merely put the clip up because a UK MP put it, very succinctly, in words AND he gave a rough date for when the UK public would be ‘informed’, presumably by its politicians and media (same beast), that it is officially at war. No other British MP has gone within miles of stating what he stated (unless I’ve missed it). But he can say it because he’s already a pariah in Parliament. He was kicked out of the Tory Party for ‘covid vaccine misinformation’. He’s now an independent.
“I like you. Unfortunately, both our countries, especially OUR countries, have much to atone for. So, enjoy your day, judgement is coming.”
Echoed.
I think, in many of these contexts, it is simpler to think of our two countries as one entity (axis of evil?). For years, around Iraq war time, I thought of the UK as the US] puppy. Now I think it’s the other way round. It’s just that the money men get the US to do their dirty military work, which makes it look as if the boot is on the other foot.
It’s difficult to tell. I think that they are intertwined at the top, not only with board chairmanships and interlocking stock ownership, but with intermarriage, just like back in royal days.
Winston Churchill’s mother was American and Boris Johnson was born in the US and had dual citizenship.
Their interests intertwine as well. They attack other countries together all the time. The only time I can remember the UK refusing to go along with the US was in 2013, when the US proxy “moderate rebels” killed a bunch of Syrian kids with sarin, right as the UN chemical inspection team arrived in Damascus, at the request of the government, to investigate the jihadists use of chemical weapons.
Obama accused Assad of the crime, which was patently absurd, but the Mighty Wurlitzer played it anyway.
Obama had announced his “red line”, which was chemical weapon use, and then they found a bunch of dead children who had been poisoned. What were the odds? (Pretty good, since it was commissioned by the US).
Anyway, Parliament refused to go along with an attack on Syria based on such stupid claims.
And then Russia stepped in to broker a deal where the US was allowed to destroy Syria’s stock of chemical weapons (which it hadn’t even used on the terrorist, let alone a bunch of kidnapped Alawite children.)
“Curses, foiled again” screamed Obama.
So, the US backed off for a while, until they rolled out ISIS in the spring of 2014, complete with Toyota pickups, matching uniforms, endless ammo, and factory made ISIS flags.
Then the UK went along with it.
@Paula
Regarding Syria, I presume you know that Israel frequently bombs Syria.
Killing a few people here, a few there.
This is before the embassy bombing.
Yes, SD, and they are illegally occupying the Golan Heights.
That is why Iran bombed a site in Golan Heights last time.
This time I hope they add the US troops occupying Syria and stealing their oil and wheat.
That would be a fitting response, imo.
@Paula
I just saw this. Good comment–I wished I saw it earlier.
Greetings,
For me, this week’s introduction of Open a.i.’s HER was the Pearl Harbor that we’ve all been dreading. The capabilities of HER dwarf all previous attempts at such things and render 70% of the workforce obsolete. I watched a demonstration where they used HER to teach a robot dog to balance itself on a yoga ball as the ball was being kicked down the street. If HER can do that then it can certainly staff all of our retail outlets.
That isn’t even the craziest part of this story. Oh no. The craziest part is that I was speaking about HER to my daughter as I was curious as to what the 90 or so people at the grocery store that she manages thought about it. She told me that I was the only person she’d ever heard speak of such things. I would later find out this to be true of family and friends.
We all live in a world of custom-tailored news now. My news and social media feeds were nothing but HER and its amazing capabilities. I can only imagine that for other people, their news feeds are nothing but stories about how DJT can not be allowed on the ballot to protect Democracy.
It will be hard to have the revolution that the author speaks of until everyone becomes aware of what is going on. I’m afraid that won’t happen until hunger sets in.
One shudders to think what the penalty for shoplifting will be in such an environment, eh? Several sci-fi scenarios come to mind.
There are commercial districts in our largest cities where everything that can be stolen has been stolen. Legit business has left or simply shut down and it’s never coming back. Places like Portland, Seattle & San Francisco, and even NYC will continue to exist … as squalid utopian Welfare Colonies …’People’s Republics’ … without the Rule of Law and without a real economy or revenue except what can be solicited from the Federal & State govt.
The Thirty Blocks of Squalor in Pennsylvania comes to mind.
I love that its called “HER.” Does it bitch endlessly, too?
Yep, just like those Congress critters last week that got into a tussle and shouting match over hair and make-up issues.
That’s all they do, now, is squabble over trivial superficial issues. They don’t even do what they’re supposed to do anymore, like declare war (the president does, now) or ratify treaties (the president does that, too, now). Control of the money went to the federal reserve a long time ago. There is no earthly purpose to these people anymore.
They really don’t even have to pass laws anymore. The myriad agencies just make them up as they go.
There is no earthly purpose to these people anymore.
Entertainment.
RD3: That’s why they call them “law makers” now.
Right on, Tuco. You’re right. All they do in Congress anymore is “investigate” everything from immigration to cheating in baseball but you’ll note that nothing ever comes from all of these countless “investigations.”
The US congress is completely and utterly useless to the American people. It is a failed institution that represents only those with enough money to buy their interest.
It is well past time that the system be scrapped. That the Federal Register and its 800,000 pages be thrown into a bon fire.
Investigate, pontificate, argue and then investigate some more. That’s all these useless loudmouth idiots do.
RD3, you are right. They don’t pass laws anymore. When they do pass a law it is so vague and subject to interpretations that the agencies charged with executing the law are free to make all kind of “standards” and “mandates” to enforce the congress’s new “law.”
These morons don’t even realize that they are sovereign under the now defunct US Constitution. They have pissed away all of their authority until they are nothing more than a squabbling club for people with Ds and Rs behind their names, told how to vote by the PTB, not representing a damned thing.
I pity those poor souls who are running for congress with claims that they are going to “change washington” or “vote on conservative principles.” They will vote how they are told.
Sure, they pass laws. But that doesn’t take much time.
The lobbyists write the laws, the Congress rubber stamps them, and then they go on to the important stuff, wining, dining, and whoring, paid for by the lobbyists.
Yep and those Congress critters last week who were tussling over eye lashes and body shapes were……..WIMIN! Perfect evidence that the founders had it right when they wanted only land owning white men to have the ability to vote.
I’ve heard men say and do stupid things in the hallowed floors of the US Congress and in committee meetings but never anything as embarrassing and stupid as what I heard between MTG and AOC and that chick from Texas. Assinine!
Even the idiot male congress critters were trying to understand what the stupid broads were arguing about.
These are what we call our leaders.
These kind of people in positions of power, that’s on the people! The people no longer vote for or support good and decent true leaders for positions of power. So we get the MTGs and the AOCs. Worthless humans arguing over eyelashes and body shapes.
Many do call legislators and officers at the federal level “leaders,” using the word to mean that they are the leaders of the citizens of the united States.
They were never intended to be, and they most certainly aren’t. Congress is at best the leader of their staff…that’s it. Officers in the executive branch are leaders of their departments, and of course the President is the leader of the executive and commander in chief.
Leaders of anything more is an abuse of the word, and it isn’t on accident. If people believe they are your leader, then sure, they can tell you whether to wear a mask.
As a citizen of this republic, they aren’t your leader no matter how many times they and the media refer to them as leaders.
So true, MS.
Congress critters are supposed to be public SERVANTS. They were originally supposed to leave their jobs for a short time to come legislate necessary laws, pass a budget and then return to their jobs. Never were they intended to be leaders or to have full time congress jobs for 40 year careers.
Public servant no longer has any meaning.
No, they’ll vote for someone based on how they look or how they talk, whether they’re gay or not, whether they’re black or not, all superficial reasons, having not a clue what “their” candidate stands for most of the time, but now, politicians do a 180 on their constituencies, now, so much, that it doesn’t really matter what they say they stand for anymore.
Another term they use is “lawmakers.” They’re lawmakers, now, not representatives.
Think about the original concept.
The Congress represented their folks, yes, but they were also knowledgeable folks compared to the rest of society. they were the brain trust that had the knowledge to create laws that made sense.
How far we have fallen?
It makes you wonder if our form of government will even work when the legislature is all the losers of society.
Cank- You didn’t get the memo. Democracy doesn’t work.
Nickel, don’t know if you watched the DUNE movies that came out or read the DUNE books. It takes place 10,000 years into the future and you’ll note that humans do not have any computers. Their ships and equipment are all human controlled. Not like Star Trek. I know this is all fantasy but if you dive into the history of DUNE you will learn that humanity went through a near extinction level war against artificial intelligence and swore off any silicon based intelligence.
My point? I believe that is where we are heading. An all out war and rejection by humanity of anything and everything AI.
Thanks Canker for making this point clear about the need to eradicate AI and silicon-based computing. The fact these systems so control our lives these days is nothing more than a mere blip on the radar of history. Mankind has lived and thrived for thousands of years just fine without all this techno garbage. The world will be a much better and freer place without it.
I have the Dune series of books in my library and look forward to diving into it one day soon. After that, I will take in the film adaptations.
When you read it focus on the “butlerian jihad.” That was the war against the AI.
I despise this AI and I wish people would just stop with this nonsense. What do they think they are going to accomplish with it. We don’t need it. What does society do with 70% of the people who are no longer needed because AI can do it?
Cowbell
Right on.
What is the purpose of life if technology does everything? Humans crave creativity, the building of things, winning.
God made us in His image, not literally, but in His “psychological” image, right and wrong, reasoning, creativity is part of that.
If humans give up the role of creators to “robots”. What is the point of existence?
In all ways, Man is currently trying to out do God, manipulate DNA, create life, create artificial humans. I wonder how long it will take for the oncoming disaster to happen.
IMHO, God does not cause disasters, Man does. God is hands off. He is a mentor to Mankind, a part of us that tries to point us in the right direction.
When God “walks away”. Man collapses kingdom by kingdom.
Until Revelation, God’s finale.
Hey, maybe the Beast, the Anti-Christ are all aspects of the dominance of AI in the future.
If you take away the purpose for living, man no longer needs to live.
I work in land development and 3/4 of my staff could soon be faced with losing their jobs to AI. I don’t need administrative assistants anymore. I don’t need home designers or civil engineers anymore. I don’t need plans reviewers anymore.
All of this could be done by a soul less AI machine.
It is evil and the people pushing this on us are evil. Anti human. Anti Christ.
Hear! Hear!
Use your favorite search engine to see the portrait of King Charles mirrored and inverted.
Any questions who they are working for?

I can’t remember whose Twitter feed it was on but there’s also a view of the mirrored version upside down. It’s equally demonic whatever the orientation.

Sorry, CO – missed the ‘inverted’ bit in your post.
I read the entire series one summer around the time I was 12 or 13. That said, how can humanity reject a.i. when the majority are not even aware that it is here? The only way to stop it now would be to take out the grid and block out the Sun.
I didn’t know that about the DUNE series, about the war against AI. Now that you mention it, though, I do remember that there were no computers (I saw the original movie).
Butlerian Jihad will be based on the Orange Bible and the 11th commandment: You shall not make a machine in the image of the human mind.
Why not a 12th too? You shall not make a machine in the image of the human body.
Jarek- Come on, man, don’t take the sex bots.

I’m waiting for someone to show me a computer that cannot be disabled by a well placed magnet.
That is why magnets will probably be banned in the future.
Or, the Earth’s magnetic field will reverse wiping out everything,
Or, the solar maximums will increase over powering earthly magnets.
We had all kinds of glitches in WiFi last week.
They’re made out of meat.”
“Meat?”
“Meat. They’re made out of meat.”
“Meat?”
“There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”
“That’s impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?”
“They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don’t come from them. The signals come from machines.”
“So who made the machines? That’s who we want to contact.”
“They made the machines. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Meat made the machines.”
“That’s ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You’re asking me to believe in sentient meat.”
“I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they’re made out of meat.”
“Maybe they’re like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage.”
“Nope. They’re born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn’t take long. Do you have any idea what’s the life span of meat?”
“Spare me. Okay, maybe they’re only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside.”
“Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They’re meat all the way through.”
“No brain?”
“Oh, there’s a brain all right. It’s just that the brain is made out of meat! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”
“So … what does the thinking?”
“You’re not understanding, are you? You’re refusing to deal with what I’m telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat.”
“Thinking meat! You’re asking me to believe in thinking meat!”
“Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?”
“Omigod. You’re serious then. They’re made out of meat.”
“Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they’ve been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years.”
“Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?”
“First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual.”
“We’re supposed to talk to meat.”
“That’s the idea. That’s the message they’re sending out by radio. ‘Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.’ That sort of thing.”
“They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?”
“Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat.”
“I thought you just told me they used radio.”
“They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat.”
“Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?”
“Officially or unofficially?”
“Both.”
“Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing.”
“I was hoping you would say that.”
“It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?”
“I agree one hundred percent. What’s there to say? ‘Hello, meat. How’s it going?’ But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?”
“Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can’t live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact.”
“So we just pretend there’s no one home in the Universe.”
“That’s it.”
“Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You’re sure they won’t remember?”
“They’ll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we’re just a dream to them.”
“A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat’s dream.”
“And we marked the entire sector unoccupied.”
“Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?”
“Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again.”
“They always come around.”
“And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone …”

That’s hilarious, Messi. Can’t believe I’ve never come across it before, since it seems to have done the rounds on the interwebz (according the website).
It is hard to find a good place to post it, but I love it too.
“If HER can do that then it can certainly staff all of our retail outlets.”
Are all these robots going to be powered by wind turbines?
Remember we’ll also need wind turbines to power the robots that are going to make the wind turbines. And wind turbines to power the robots that are going to make the robots.

Does anyone really think that illegal immigration has stopped simply because all news coverage of it, including non-mainstream, has disappeared over the last 4 weeks? This is the state of our existence:
If you can’t see it on a screen, it doesn’t exist…
If it is not being drummed up by pundits, no one gives a damn.
It doesn’t help that Americans have an attention span of exactly 13.3 seconds.
Heh!
Can’t you folks just absorb a great essay without adding your goddam two cents in? Stop piggybacking on Mr K and write your own stuff. Claudine Gay got nuthin on you honkies.
No, we can’t, so stop complaining.
Thumbs up.
This is a most peculiar posting. Our host provides a comment section so that we may comment and debate his writings.
There are many websites that do not provide comment sections. You are more than free to frequent those websites.
Even more fascinating is that this individual felt it pertinent to jump onto the comment section and issue a comment.
Fascinating behavior. Probably a troll and I bought.
They apparently read the comments.
Most fascinating is the continued presence of humans here.
You missed the note above that it is now referred to as “three cents” due to inflation. And just so we are clear, it is good to have people here piggyback off of Mr. K’s essay because that is what advances the dialogue surrounding our current situation.
Hmm, it seems to me you are “piggybacking” on the commenters.
I see much originality and diverse subjects from the commenters. I thank JHK and the large group of commenters for their input twice a week.
I learn much from the commentariat. Even from the commenters that I frequently disagree with.
“Can’t you folks just absorb a great essay without adding your goddam two cents in?”
I think you might be happier at The Guardian, which used to have a (moderated) ‘Comment is Free’ facility, but now doesn’t seem to (unless I’ve just missed the three and a half articles that still allow comment).
Another assault against the Conversation that is Western Civilization.
Why don’t you move to New Guinea, honky?
On Ukraine:
When you hear something as brazenly ridiculous as “gee, the money we gave them to build fortifications got divvied up, and the Russians came on down”, how do you not know you are looking at a brazen lie told by lying liars”
Obviously, screamingly obviously, the people involved in handing the money over meant for it to be used for whatever the hell it was used for; they were in on it.
Did anybody ask questions? Exactly who was “supposed to build fortifications”? How? What’s a “fortification” and how is the cost figured?
The whole thing was a sham. Notice we didn’t hear anybody warn that these things were not being built until the Russians showed up?
These people lack communications?
Anyone who knows the least little thing about Ukraine would have known that money handed over without oversight was meant to disappear.
Many folks go after the money sent to Israel by the USA causing the slaughter of “innocents” in Gaza. 11000 so far.
How about the much more money and arms being sent to Ukraine where hundreds of thousands of “innocents” have been slain?
Well you see, John, those of that persuasion set themselves up as moral paragons and the rubes bought it. Turns out they aren’t and the rubes are starting to see it. Not you of course. You’re still a true blue believer.
I sympathize fully with virtually everything in this blog. It’s not just Fugazy Land, though; it’s Fugazy WORLD. We’re ALL in now for a jolly good round of madness and hardship, whether Western Civ or other civs.
On my part, I draw solace from my own personal belief in some Higher Power in which our existence is grounded and which beckons humanity to listen to its dictates if they will listen. And the belief that perhaps it all goes in cycles: perhaps we’re now reaching the bottom of some historical or civilizational course of development, and in due course we’ll slowly climb back up again.
If anyone judges all these ideas to be hogwash and likewise judges me as some irrational dolt for believing all this, so be it. After all, irrationality is one of the hallmarks of our species, is it not?
And if America finally and truly refuses to be Fugazy Land, I’ll be very happy for America. Now if only the Fugazis in Asia — above all that fat, ugly asshole — will likewise have their faces smashed in by their people…
I don’t judge your faith. I too have faith that there is some grand plan and design to all of this. I have seen far too many “miracles” to deny the existence of an intelligent creator. However, I struggle with the following:
1. Why does this creator give so much deference to the filthy, corrupt and evil?
2. What the hell is this creator waiting for?
Perhaps, this creator, has tried many times and now the majority of his creations have turned their backs on it and it or they are leaving us to our own designs.
Kind of like a parent with a rebellious child. Eventually the parent lets the child experience the consequences of their own bad choices so that they will learn from those bad choices.
My point? I don’t think that higher power is coming to help us this time. We are on our own.
He waits to give as many as possible the chance at going aboard the ark before He shuts the door. Once it’s shut, it doesn’t open again for anything or anyone. Because the filthy, corrupt and evil deserve a chance at salvation just as the clean, uncorrupt and good.
It took Noah 120 years to build the ark. That’s a long time to let people know something bad is coming.
They don’t portray this in the movie with John Huston, but God actually was the one who shut the door to the ark, and I believe He did that because you can’t shut the door to salvation on your friends and family, so He did it for them.
Why? By doing so God is denying the demands of justice in favor of the demands of mercy. Can mercy rob justice? In God’s case it appears to rob justice all the time.
I certainly don’t have all the answers. You’ll have to take your very real concerns up with Him.
But I do know that things lost will be restored and the crooked paths made straight.
Isaiah 45:9 Cankerpuss
Not quarrelling with the maker. I just don’t understand.
Man is a teenager, rebellious and always trying to best God.
Your last sentence? Revelation. God has been working with us for thousands of years and all we do, over and over is deny Him and run in the opposite direction. God gave John some really weird trips or bad dreams called Revelation where He announced that there will be a finale, a final reckoning. The Final Judgement.
Having read Revelation numerous times I have come to the conclusion that John was smoking some kind of a hallucinogenic week that grew on the Isle of Patmos when he wrote it.
The book of Revelation just barely made it into the NT. There were a lot of church fathers during the time the NT was put together – that claimed Revelation was too wierd and off the wall to be included in the canon. The book describes dreams and visions, and dreams can be notoriously difficult to interpret.
If you’re not familiar with the Old Testament, Revelation will be difficult to understand.
“If you’re not familiar with the Old Testament, Revelation will be difficult to understand.”
Go tell that to a rabbi that is active online like Tovia Singer. You know, someone who knows and understands the Torah or “Old Testament” completely. You won’t get far before being accurately defeated by facts. At that point what happens is apologists get all “spiritual” and begin making things up as they go along.
You are on your own if you aren’t with Him. Otherwise, He said He would never leave or forsake you.
Who sowed the cockle in the field?
An Enemy.
Why not pull it up now?
Because the wheat would come up with it. Wait until the Harvest….
You mean the tares.
Tares are a plant that looks a lot like wheat.
Some people call those little paper boats that hold food tares.
cockle
noun
Darnel, Lolium temulentum; rye-grass, L. perenne; tare; a weed generally.
The corn-rose or corn-cockle, Lychnis (Agrostemma) Githago.
A young cock; a cockerel.
To cry like a cock.
To pucker or contract into wrinkles, as cloth or glass.
To rise into frequent ridges, as the waves of a chopping sea.
To make a slight score on the cogs or teeth of a mill, as a guide for cutting off their ends, so that the whole may be given a truly circular form.
To cause to pucker in wrinkles: as, rain will cockle silk.
Century Dictionary
Some bibles use one word, some another.
So tell us Jarek, how many cockles do we have in here in the blog comments section? I like this obscure word “cockles”. Is our vice president a cockle or a cackle? Or both?
Ashes ashes all fall down.
Another yet enjoyable read by our host. Thank you Jim for taking the time to write up your thoughts on what is happening in our society.
I agree with much of what you said in this write up. Namely that the American people, by and large, definitely not all of them, are fed up and pissed off. They can only push so far before those being pushed have had enough of the pushing.
Many of the people are hopelessly lost but more and more are coming to the realization that things are amiss in this Country. That we are in big trouble. They know it in their gut even though they cannot identify it.
Public debt is $35 trillion. Few seem to care. Private debt is hovering anywhere between $17 trillion and $76 trillion (I hear reports of widely varying numbers). None of this debt gets paid off. Period. That monster is waiting for us with a wide open gaping maw, ready to devour our wealth.
Confidence in the government is gone and as such so is the authority of the government. Few there be that will listen and obey the insane diktats of the government anymore. It is now an illegitimate government and needs to be cast down, trampled and replaced with a government based entirely upon “natural laws” and not the corrupt laws of man.
I hope Jim is right in his predictions today. I look forward to a time when the people do finally destroy the blob and burn all of its filth and place it in the ashbin of history.
Unfortunately, humanity will never learn and it will be repeated as greed and lust, unquenchable human traits, will once again show their ugly faces.
As long as we aren’t govern by a bunch of religious zealots then I don’t care,
“bunch of religious zealots”
AKA “Utopians”.
Religious zealots?
Are those people that take the image of God to “lord” it over all the rest of us?
God loves humility not show-offs. Religion has ruined Jesus’ message many centuries ago.
Zealots are that way for their own satisfaction, not yours. Religious zealots have caused mor human suffering than any other source.
Was Jesus a religious zealot?
Was Jesus a religious zealot?
John,
The end game of Christianity, and most major religions, is a Utopian afterlife.
HISTORICAL
a member of an ancient Jewish sect that aimed at a world Jewish theocracy and resisted the Romans until AD 70.
Was Jesus a card carrying member? A fellow traveler? Sympathetic?
Sounds a bit “Old Testament”.
My zealot is not capitalized.
Jesus had a zealot in the 12. Simon the Zealot, (capital Z).
Most things I have read say that Jesus and John the Baptist were Essenes, another sect of the time and authors of the Dead Sea SCrolls.
Jesus “job” on earth was to fulfill Scripture, teach about a sublime God, and die for our sins. He was the Best.
The church I used to frequent claims to be led by Jesus Christ himself and the church modelled in the same manner as his original church he established. 12 Apostles and so forth. Christ ordained ordinary fishermen as his Apostles. This church today has 12 Apostles who are wealthy, elite businessmen and attorneys. One of them is a billionaire.
A far cry from the humble fishermen Christ sought after 2000 years ago.
Humility? Not today. Today’s religions are all about elitism. You make a ton of money you are guaranteed a leadership position that lets you “lord” over your fellow church goers.
I despise it all.
You cannot serve God and mammon. Hirelings and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’re the ones at the Great White Throne judgment.
And they turned race mixers in direct contradiction to Joseph, Brigham, and the Prophets. They are of the world and they are liars and deceivers.
Yes! Religion is for the power hungry, using God as their justification. It is man-made.
Church and religion is not the same thing.
and hypocrites, Jarek. They teach one thing but do the other. We are supposed to be humble, to avoid prideful and vain things such as the love of money. Yet the leaders they appoint are very much prideful and lovers of money.
Christ had particular disdain for the hypocrites because of the damage they inflict upon society.
Yes, JohnAZ, church and religion are not the same thing. Something I have become very much aware of as I have aged. Elitism rules the churches of our age. No doubt about it.
I agree very much.
Do you understand that “natural law” means no government at all?
After all who governs the fish and the birds?
I believe adherents to natural law would state that the main tenet of such a law would be “DO NO HARM.” As long as you are not creating harm for your neighbor or for anyone else.
Robert J. Ringer, popular back in the 70s or so, used to say the only natural law (versus man-made)was don’t forcibly interfere with the rights of another, which I remember thinking at the time was just plain silly.
Natural law is you have something I want if I can take it from you it’s mine.
No, humanity, what remains of it, will learn. It is written that God’s Kingdom will fill the earth. And to the scoffers that say they see only evil all the time, let it be known that all other things He said have already come to pass. We fail, but God, never. Jesus Christ reigns.
“Jesus Christ reigns”? Where does he reign? Judging by history and current events he isn’t ruling anywhere, least of all in the pedophile/satanic Catholic Church. The “kingdom of heaven” that Jesus preached about in the synoptic gospels was supposed to have arrived before the end of the first century. It never happened. We’ve been waiting some 20 centuries now and still nothing. God has failed big time.
God has not failed, Groundhog.
It is human nature to try to apply human limitations to God – I am guilty of it myself. Study and pray as some of us may, we cannot have the mind of God.
The truth is that humans are limited by time and we incorrectly try to impose the same limitations on God. 2 Peter 3:8 says that with God, a day is like a thousand years.
Your comment is explained in 2 Corinthians 4:4:
The god of the olam hazeh (this world, the present age) has blinded the minds of those who are perishing in order to prevent them from seeing the light shining from the good news (gospel) about the glory of the Messiah who is the image of God.
Don’t be blinded!
The one who perseveres to the end will be delivered. Matthew 24:13
I fully expect to be flamed for this comment. Don’t care. I’m praying.
Luk 18:7-8
(7) And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry day and night to Him, though He has been long-suffering over them?
(8) I say to you that He will avenge them speedily. Yet when the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?
Heaven is on Earth, in the here and now, or it is nowhere.
Jesus/God/the Holy Spirit’s return is only from the perspective of each individual. God (or Enlightenment) merges with the individual, and the anguished duality of me and God disappears.
The biggest lie of the [ world ] system is that you cannot be holy. This is how you tell them apart. Once you realize you can [ ability ] you will.
“There’s a fair chance that they will hang, and many others with them.”
I’m having difficulty remembering when ANY high-level official has faced real justice for ANYTHING they did. Not Kissinger, not W or Cheney, and certainly not any corrupt officials currently running governments everywhere—from which the choices are legion. King Louis the XVI may not have escaped his fate in 1789, but if the modern era tells us anything, it’s that you get away scot-free, every time.
Especially Democrats.
The one thing about JHK’s statement is that there isn’t anyone in authority who will challenge these fuckers. If they hang it will be because the people, having lost all faith in the rule of American law, take justice into their own hands.
No, there isn’t anyone in authority who will challenge them because they hold all the guns, so to speak. They have the power of the military and police, and as long as they do (remember, Joe said they have F-16’s), we with our AR-15’s and .306 and handguns are no match. We don’t have ground-penetrating radar and very few have night vision goggles. They have a whole host of weapons at their disposal they can use against us. Passive resistance is the way, the withholding of services, the refusal to “participate” where possible.
And also, most just want to have their house on the lake and live la dolce vita.
Those goat-herders in far away lands bombed by the empire which used to be a Republic seem to survive through history, with the current incidents just more of the same ilk they have lived with for century after century.
“There isn’t anyone in authority who will challenge the fuckers”
That is because the Fuckers are the ones in authority.
BTW, Trump’s trial may be over by the weekend.
It is a real test of how much the Fuckers are in control. The “experts” are all saying it is a sham. Also, how deluded the people, “the peer group” are by those fuckers.
If they won’t face it with human justice, they must face supernatural justice, and that’s almost always worse.
Are you getting away Scot-free all the time for your misdeeds, no matter how minor? Be honest, with yourself firstly!
Whom the Lord loveth, he chastenth! So, if you’re not getting chastened, there’s something wrong.
About Chris Cuomo-
I have talked before about how RFK Jr. appears to have backed way, way off his position on bringing the perpetrators of the covid crimes against humanity to justice.
He was getting all kumbaya about it.
It got worse, most recently he started talking about some wacky confessional where the covid conspirators could come forward, admit their sins, and be absolved.
That sounds suspiciously like the amnesty the MSM has been pushing, only worse.
“RFK Jr. on the other hand calls for a COVID truth and reconciliation committee.
“I could bring him in front of a jury and put him in jail.”
“We tell everybody we’re going to now have a forum where you can come and confess…And then you can prosecute them if they don’t tell the truth.”
x.com/AV24org/status/1791871904237707757
It has been pointed out to him, the flaws in this idea:
“i just don’t know how you prevent this happening in the future without sending a signal that pharma and government will be held accountable. otherwise why wouldn’t they try and make 100B again? it’s their business model.”
x.com/cmporro/status/1791890106963615884
Then, along comes Chris Cuomo with his limited hangout, showing others the way forward, and lying his face off.
I thought these two things were not related. I was wrong. It was all part of a plan, but not the plan I thought.
Junior really should be ashamed of himself. The Cuomos are thugs, and Chris’s brother put elderly people i care homes in harm’s way on purpose.
You don’t get into bed with trash like that for political reasons, and still get to pretend you are something new and different and clean.
Behold Junior’s new ad:
“This is what smashing the two-party system looks like”

The Cabal has been trying to destroy the US government on the cheap and dirty with lies, and Truth has been deployed to fought back. God bless the internet and its posters!
The Cabal didn’t want to get its hands dirty or show its face to Justice. Hence the face masks continuing, and the ever-increasing propaganda efforts.
But the Forces of Evil are finding out, at home as in Ukraine, that only murder, be it boots on the ground in a war of aggression, blatant assassination, or nukes, will destroy the governing principles of a free nation. If then.
And that leaves them weaponless. Do they go for it directly, themselves, and risk all? They are running out of dupes to hire as most have been killed off. There aren’t enough stupid people to do a stupid thing like overthrow the US. Constitution.
But there are enough stupid people to keep up the riot, and they still occupy positions of power. Remove these clowns and the clown show ends.
The land in the Ukraine was primarily agricultural -producing barley, rye, and wheat. It’s some of the most pristine farm land. What’s Blackrock doing making claim to this land? These people need to have their cultural wisdom restored. It reminds me of when Hemingway wrote “The Old Man and the Sea” and he caught a big fish, but by the time he brought it to shore, the sharks had ravaged it. IN the end, he preferred to be sitting on the coastal beaches of Africa drinking scotch. It was all for naught. That’s how so much of what we have done is ending —ravaged by the sharks.
The foxes that spoil the vine. Another great movie with Bette Davis, THE greatest actress to have ever lived, if I may plug her here, thank you, The Little Foxes.
Plug away.
I happened to see her on an old Perry Mason episode. Wow! As a child, I did not appreciate her.
Talk about screen presence.
Joan Crawford was good, but Bette Davis could make you cry.
It’s not just Blackrock, it’s Monsanto/Bayer, introducing GMO crops to land where it had been banned.
And then Alex Soros making a deal with Zelensky to use prime farmland as a toxic waste dump for US and European chemical and other corporations.
The best farmland in Europe is being ravaged, while the most ignorant cheer it on.
Fugazy, for sure.
Corrupt leaders get loans from corrupt global agencies and governments.
The people vote the corrupt leaders out, and the new, slightly less corrupt leaders end up having to kowtow to the lenders they owe the money to, and they don’t have the money to do the things they were supposed to do with the old loans.
Somebody talked President Trump into approving loans with strings for Ukraine, although of course he didn’t have anything to do with the actual spending bill except to stick by the Speaker who allowed it.
There are a couple of Congressmen who insist there is an impeachment trap for Trump in that bill, should he become president again, but nobody talks about that.
So, Ukraine is pretty much doomed.
Except for the parts that Russia liberates. They will be fine.
Hopefully, Russia takes most of Ukraine, and tells Blackrock, et.al., to fuck right off with their bogus loan claims.
Maybe they can get it from the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians pushed to their deaths by western fiends. Just write off the cost of all those human lives and call it even.
The thing is, all of these issues are all out in the open. That TV show that Netflix ran, you can learn all about the loan problems from that.
It’s no secret.
I just watched an episode where prosecutors and oligarch types discuss what charges they can make stick against the former president to get him 20 years in prison.
Aha, think about this.
Russia scoffs at the NATO sanctions, enlarges its trade with BRICS++ members and slowly drains American Capital and increases BRICS++ capital. China and Russia firm up together and eventually the very stupid Deep State in the USA becomes totally dependent on BRICS++ for its debt load, think China primarily. Russia using China to break the USA and West.
Too bad, as Putin at one time wanted to join the West.
Yes, I think people were blindsided by everything that happened in 2020, it was just such a departure from what people were conditioned to normally expect. It will likely be a rather different show should the Blob attempt to turn 2024 into a repeat performance.
They already have a plan. It will blindside everyone just as badly as the last time. There could be fallout.
I also noticed the escape hatch that former CDC slug Redfield is preparing……
Right after RFK Jr. talked about his confessional idea.
If you tell the truth, go my son and sin no more.
Or, in Chris Cuomo’s case, if you tell a true thing or two mixed in with a whole bunch of lies you’re good, because your on RFK Jr.’s team.
Well said….I remember as a young boy going into that scary confessional with that dilemma…..how to tell the priest I was bad but not have to say to many Hail Mary’s…..
The worst punishment was the rosary.
So true…..I was an Alter Boy so needed to be extra good…or at least they thought so…I had it all figured out at 7 yrs old
Yes, pretty easy. Far too easy to be real in fact.
“You’re”.
Wha?
I made a mistake and said your instead of you’re.
Maybe I will just start using yer for everything.
Spoiler Alert….
Nobody’s going to jail…..or going to the gallows….or be held to any accountability..if your a card carrying blob member…BUT…
many critical of them will…..just think twice before you wish Tucker Carlson a happy birthday……..
meh. Everybody’s high noon is coming around at some point. Not wishing Tucker Carlson a happy bday is giving them more power that they don’t deserve. You need to tell them to simply fuck off.
Now that’s the Sassy Acadian I know. <3
No one here has yet mentioned that today is the last official day for Zelenskyy to be president of the Ukraine. Elections were supposed to be held, but they are claiming this is not possible until every rightful Ukrainian has the right to vote, which will never happen as long as Russia controls Crimea.
So, tomorrow Zelenskyy officially becomes the puppet president of the Ukraine, not that he wasn’t already. Does this de facto rule make him a dictator? One has to wonder what the West and Eurozone might have up their sleeves with regard to this sham.
My bet is that Zelensky becomes Number Three in the tragic and totally unforeseen deaths of world leaders.
Fico, Raisi, Zelensky.
It is true that my predictions seldom come true, but if they do off Zelensky, I can bet with confidence that they will blame it on Putin.
Ngo Dinh Diem, based on what I’ve read and seen, for his many faults, was 20x the man Zelensky was.
I have predicted Zelensky will suffer a similar fate. I stand my my prediction. Diem was overthrown and murdered in the back of a van in early November 1963.
Zelensky may “know too much” to be permitted to live in luxury in Miami, Beverly Hills, or France. His existence will be more of a problem than a benefit to the blob.
His days are numbered.
If he was smart, he’ll have taken that money and built himself a hideaway somewhere.
No one has forgotten what happened to Saddam. Or Muammar.
Fico did not die.
I stand corrected.
Attempted assassination.
But still totally unforeseen and unexpected.
Kind of like vaccine deaths. We are shocked, shocked! that this tragic sudden and unexpected event happened.
PM Fico has not totally recovered either. He’s still in serious condition, too serious to be moved.
Very bad.
That’s the corrosive impact of the US Establishment (and it’s puppet EU establishment).
Today I saw a video on the Duran where Victoria Nuland wants the US to give Ukraine more help, so Ukraine can strike bases inside Russia, so Ukraine can “win the war”.
Evil, crazy bitch. You can bet, no “lone actor” is going to shoot her.
No, she will just go on all the news shows and push for escalation, over something that is NOT a vital interest of the US.
Yes, isn’t it interesting that no “lone nut” ever goes after the truly Evil?
Fauci is still around, as well.
And if so, would that be a bad thing? Would you prefer to millions to die instead of one very corrupt man?
Putin never does things like that? Oh yes he does. Assassination is part of war. War is part of politics.
Can women ever get anything right?
@jarek
All powerful people have broken moral laws to get to where they are.
That’s why we are here and they are there:)
The better ones benefit their countrymen and/or country in the process of being in charge.
True leaders for the people seek not for power but seek to pull it down. That does not happen anymore. The greatest example of this was George Washington who turned down being a King in favor of farming Mount Vernon. Few there be that could have done what he did. Now he has become a hiss and a byword in America and the most disgusting corrupted city on this planet now bears his name.
You actually think that Zelensky is calling the shots in Ukraine?
Oh, Jarek.
Bell,
It has been suggested that the day he extra legally maintains power, that he will become a legitimate target of assassination for Russia.
Apparently there is a gentlemen’s agreement regarding targeting one’s opponent who appears legitimately in office.
Russia has no incentive to kill Zelensky.
But your scenario, “suggested” no doubt by the planters of mind memes and narratives, will definitely be put forward as the Cause of Death.
Paula,
On the contrary, they have every reason to kill him. He will have a successor, who may be more pliant, and the process of succession might be rift with turmoil and political intrigue.
There is, no doubt, loyal opposition in the rand and file.
k
There will be uproar and intrigue no matter if Zelensky lives or dies.
He is no longer the legal president.
Russia doesn’t have to do anything to cause upheaval over that predicament. And the US will make sure that the next president is equally as pliant as Zelensky, or more. (Remember that Zelensky was elected on a peace with Donbass platform, and the US had to expend a lot of time and energy to bring him around to kneel to the Empire).
You’ll have to come up with better reasons than that to convince me.
Appearance is more important than reality in other words. Thus it IS reality, for most intents and purposes. Thus the Lie is born, the Babylon or Beast world system.
“Apparently there is a gentlemen’s agreement regarding targeting one’s opponent who appears legitimately in office.”
Except for the CIA, for whom being legitimately in office makes you a prime target.
Although, in fairness, they’re not gentlemen.
Even American presidents.
Iran took a long time to announce Raisi’s death, long enough to position troops in the streets of Tehran.
Iran kept us out of WW3 last month when Israel attacked, by choosing to ignore the red line they had issued.
The west gloated about that, in their usual belligerently macho way.
Whatever brought down that helicopter, the Iranians are sure to think it was Israel or the US, and everyone knows it, including the authorities in Tehran.
Something will have to be done.
I see the NAFO trolls are already out on social media, saying that it would be impossible to bring down that helicopter in that kind of weather and mountainous conditions. What sniper could aim in that weather?
So we are supposed to forget that a bomb can be implanted in a helicopter? We are supposed to look at completely burned wreckage and say “Yep, that’s caused by the fog and rain, for sure”?
Yeah, I don’t think so.
Biden hasn’t even come out to express any kind of sympathy or respect to the Iranian people. I know they are our sworn enemies and we want everyone over there to die, but really, what kind of cruel heartless bastard can you be to not even make some kind of public statement yet?
They don’t have the slightest understanding of international diplomacy. They operate the USGov like the mafia.
Like the Mafia?
They are the Mafia, and Irish mob, and cartels, and BLM. The Mob is global.
Fuck you.
The utter lack of class originated in the Obama administration.
If the US or Israel or both were behind the death of the Iranian President, it was an immature, and even worse, a BAD move, even if it “succeeded”.
If the US hoped that a more “dovish” President will replace Raisi, the result will be the opposite.
Raisi seemed to me to be a reasonable moderate who possessed a lot of self-discipline, and with other Iranians in charge, showed a lot of self-restraint in the face of US/Israeli provocation
If the US and Israel hope for a more “hawkish” President, to more likely give them the war they want, THAT they may get.
However, US/Israeli confidence of a successful engagement with Iran is misplaced.
I doubt Israeli defenses against a UNILATERAL Iranian strike are 100%. In a country the size of new Jersey, 96% is not good enough.
As for the US, well, if half the stuff that people ranging from JHK to Larry Johnson to Col Doug McGregor write or say is true, there are lots of potentially dangerous men in the US biding their time until ordered to carry out REAL terrorist acts.
CFNers (I include myself) rail against the “blob” here. Just wait until a few professionals disable the electric or water supply or take out a few overpasses on I-75 or I-95.
Time appears to me to be on Iran’s side, and on Russia’s side. Perhaps China’s side as well.
So, if the US and/or Israel were involved, this will backfire.
However, even if they were NOT involved, the result is largely the same, in the public eye.
The US/Israel appear guilty of offing the President of Iran.
So this is bad news all around, not just for Mr. Raisi’s family and friends and supporters.
While I recognize the evil nature of the US and Israeli ruling classes, I have an objective observation that needs to be said (and as I always, I welcome comments)
I have a lot of difficulty with IRANIAN President Raisi getting on (any kind of) an aircraft, to go visit AZERBAIJANI President Aliyev.
Aliyev’s two closest allies, and enablers in his (successful) recent wars against Armenia were (and I think still ARE) Turkey and ISRAEL. Israel provided Aliyev with much important hardware. In return, it is said that, besides money and/or oil, Israel has listening sites and drone bases in Azerbaijan, which borders Iran. Azerbaijan is an invaluable asset to Israel in ongoing Israeli attacks against Iran (which the MSM and CFN never mention).
So, unless something dramatic has changed (and I see NO evidence of that, but I’m far from all-knowing–so please, some one comment or tell me what’s happening with Iran and Azerbaijan), it appears very foolish, to me for Raisi to have flown to Azerbaijan for a handshake photo op. If there was foul play involved, he set himself up.
If ties were improving, he should have sent his foreign minister. OR, they could have shaken hands in Moscow, or at a “summit” where multiple heads of state were present. If Israel is “the Great Satan”, you don’t pay a visit to Satan’s top ally in the region, which provides intel to your enemy. My two cents.
Time is not on the US or Israel’s side. A more hawkish Iranian is still going to wait. The Iranians are pretty smart, they will not change their strategy, they will (try to) sit tight and wait.
But if some Israeli/US provocation, or unforeseen action (a renegade Hezbollah or Israeli company commander who decides to “teach them a lesson” and goes a little too far than the usual tit-for-tat) should force the issue, Israel will pay a heavy price. The window to “attack Iran” closed a long time ago.
The US homeland may or may not pay a heavy price in a war with Iran.
However, the US is hurtling toward disaster even without Iran.
The America described at the conclusion of today’s essay, whether you agree or disagree, does not sound like an entity that will be able to project power on the world stage.
And when that happens, without Uncle Sugar, Israel will then have to choose between suicide or much more painful adjustments than would have been the case had the Israelis simply stopped abusing the Palestinians and left them alone in the West Bank and Gaza in the mid-1980s or 90s.
So, I’d say it was a bad weekend for everyone on the world stage. Great weather though!
Not surprising at all that the Butcher of Baghdad was just your kind of guy.
Keep writing Uncle Abraham, thank you!
Although, I hope you’re a real person and not a malfunctioning AI troll.
Jonathan Pollard would never write what you just did–unless he’s REALLY trying to cover his identity….
Butcher of Baghdad?
Butcher of Tehran – you know exactly what I was talking about, but this kind of faultfinding nitpicking is your way of avoiding answering for your approval of Islamic tyrants.
And God, in whose image we’re made, is no AI program – another distraction you throw out there because you have nothing of substance to say.
Isa 29:19-21
(19) The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
(20) For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
(21) That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
I didn’t know what he was talking about either, SD.
Butcher of Tehran? When was that appellation applied?
I’m guessing since yesterday.
Paula, Soc knew exactly what was being said.
As for you, it’s surprising you simply didn’t google it and inform yourself about a subject you apparently knew little and now have egg on your face making an uniformed and what appear to be a prejudicial guess. You tell us.
Hussein-Ali Montazeri named Raisi as one of the four persons involved in the 1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners.[26] Other persons were Morteza Eshraghi (Prosecutor of Tehran), Hossein-Ali Nayeri (Judge) and Mostafa Pourmohammadi (MOI representative in Evin). Names of first two persons are mentioned in Khomeini’s order. Pourmohammadi has denied his role but Raisi did not comment publicly on the matter.[27][28] Due to the involvement of this prosecution committee in thousands of executions, it has been informally called the ‘death committee’.[29][30][31][32] His role earned Raisi the reputation of being a “hanging judge”[33][34] and the nickname ‘butcher of Tehran.'[35][36][37]
Thank you for the explanation, Uncle Abraham.
I’d never heard of the butcher of Tehran.
If it was most anyone else here who gave us this information, I might accept it.
From you, it needs to be fact-checked, and I won’t bother.
The “political prisoners” may have been Iranian Jonathan Pollards–traitors, who warranted execution.
The appellation “Butcher of Tehran” for four people, even if they were innocent, seems overdone.
Isn’t that a typical day, or two at the most, at the West Bank for your Israeli friends? Four Palestinians killed. Many butchers–and this is before the Oct 07 industrial carnage.
Which, from what I understand, is not “eliminating Hamas”. Perhaps it’s time for your friends to kill ALL the Palestinians, yes? What do you think? Tell us.
Who was the Butcher of Beirut? Have you heard of that appellation? Guess if you dare.
I did look into it, SD.
Back in 1988, Raisi and others embarked on a killing spree of Iranian communists (rather like the Shah, ironically.)
So Uncle Abraham is shedding crocodile tears over the executions a bunch of commies, which is funny (in a not funny way).
But that explains why neither of us had heard it before.
As if the Mighty Wurlitzer would ever tell the plebes that killing commies was unacceptable.
That would never happen, therefore we never heard of the massacres.
If, if, if, if ad infinitum – all the evil surmising of a soul sold out to Islamic world domination. You expose yourself at every turn, Soc, behind the eloquent bloviating.
You make very good points, SD. It is a mystery why Raisi and the foreign minister were going for a photo op.
It could be Iran doing diplomacy, which, as already pointed out, Americans don’t do, so we can’t understand why anyone else does.
Or, it could have been a meeting designed to hammer out some sort of better ties between Iran and Azerbaijan, in which case the plot thickens and the motive becomes more clear.
That is why the US blew up Soleimani after all. He was in Iraq to facilitate an agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Of course, with that murder, they danced a victory dance of joy.
Maybe they’ve learned that the rest of the world doesn’t celebrate cold blooded murder of diplomats, since then.
Soleimani wasn’t a diplomat, he was a major general running military operations against the US military in Iraq. In other words, he was a war target and it wasn’t murder.
It’s surprising you simply didn’t google it and inform yourself about a subject you apparently knew little and now have egg on your face making an uniformed and what appear to be a prejudicial guess.
Soleimani was in Iraq on a diplomatic mission. Google it.
Paula, don’t be such an idiot trying to be smart. It’s really not a good look. Because a thief goes to a wedding as a bartender, doesn’t mean the police can’t nab him there.
You also didn’t acknowledge the valid point made to you. You just tried to come back with tit for tat. If being petty, unreasonable, unteachable and proud is what you choose, “pride goes before a fall.”
Furthermore, the reports you’ve read aren’t proof of anything. Of course the general’s people and Iran want to make it look like he was doing something innocent, even good. You’re a fool to take their word for it. Other reports from Iraqis say he was there planning more attacks. We don’t really know and does it matter when it’s already established the man was attacking and killing American troops? Don’t you know Iran began their attacks in 1979? Whose side are you on?
The US is illegally occupying Iraq.
The Iraqis want the US gone, but it won’t leave.
If, as you contend, Soleimani was planning acts against US forces as you say, he was, in his own way, kind of like the Marquis de Lafayette.
Have you heard of him? He was French nobleman who came to American to help liberate the American colonists from the evil British imperialists, by helping the Americans kill the better-armed Britons and their mercenaries.
Now, unfortunately, having jettisoned Washington’s counsel to “avoid foreign entanglements”, America is the Evil Empire.
If Soleimani was planning attacks on Americans, I think he would have been more cautious in his movements. The US bragged how easy it was to “get him”, which seems to imply that he was on a peaceful mission, as @Paula writes.
Peace and coexistence threaten the elite, who profit from war and division, so Soleimani was more of a threat as a diplomat than as a soldier, and he had to be taken out. And of course, he was Iranian.
Iran refuses to kowtow to the US, dollar-denominated world order (as do Russia, Syria, Cuba, and North Korea).
That’s my theory. I could be wrong. I’m not privy to the Iranians’ (or Americans’, at this time) plans.
Soc “Which, from what I understand, is not ‘eliminating Hamas’. Perhaps it’s time for your friends to kill ALL the Palestinians, yes? What do you think? Tell us”
So you admit the Israelis aren’t trying to kill all the Palestinians. No genocide there. Of course you’ve been caught in your own web of lies and hypocrisy. You lose every time you open your mouth, Soc. You’d be better off putting the proverbial sock in it.
“Something will have to be done.”
Paula,
Israel NEEDS to be attacked by Iran, which would bring the US into the war, boots on the ground. Iran well knows this, and is the base reason for it’s sufferance.
Yeah, you could be right.
Either way, their hand was just forced.
@elysianfield
I agree with your logic. Iran is a rational actor. Rational actors don’t start wars unless they are confident they can achieve their objectives.
However, one important note:
America has very few boots to send.
There has been a steady erosion in the size of the US Army since the end of the Cold War.
Desert Storm (1991) and Bush Jr’s invasion of Iraq, the US had considerably more troops.
Iran is considerably larger than Iraq.
The US can only “bomb”. The US can, and does, inflict damage, for sure. US military aviation, including drones, has “global reach, global power”.
If you look, most of the targets are small, weak countries. Libya. Syria. Iraq. Afghanistan. Yugoslavia.
Drones offer “plausible deniability”. The US has drone bases all over, and counts on US “allies” or “puppets” to keep the bases secure. China and Russia and Iran don’t have bases globally. At least not yet.
The US can stop global trade (the Navy’s fleet of nuclear-powered subs). Quite possibly, so can Russia (their nuclear-powered attack subs). However, the US today is DEPENDENT on global trade conducted over sea lanes–just like China is. (but Russia is not)
The US needs other states or dictators to provide the manpower for any major invasions or regime changes at this point.
The US can break a lot of stuff, but it really cannot get things done.
And it’s unclear how “the world” would react to a US attack on Iran.
America has very few boots to send.
And the “Biden” Administration illegally mandated: ‘You take the jab or dishonourable discharge.’ The fuckers!
The boots that the US military does have are dropping like flies with all sorts of horrific medical conditions. No saline vials for those fine American men and women.
The Satanists think of everything. They are a very challenging foe.
The US has drone bases all over, and counts on US “allies” or “puppets” to keep the bases secure. China and Russia and Iran don’t have bases globally. At least not yet.
Russia is now in a fully-functional, winning war economy. China produces millions of everything. I can’t imagine it taking them very long to set up drone bases as hot spots flare up.
the US today is DEPENDENT on global trade conducted over sea lanes–just like China is. (but Russia is not)
Very good point, Sox. Thx.
The US has very few acknowledged enlisted troops.
They have, however, moved in approx. 7 million military aged men in the last 3 years, and we have no idea where they all went.
There is much hoopla about the ”newcomers” housed in hotels, but where are the other 6 1/2 million? I know they aren’t all in hotels.
There was a plan, according to Mayor Bowser of Washington, DC.
What was that plan?
There is an old saying, “In turmoil, there is opportunity.” Communist/Socialists and Fascist/Socialists have translated that into thinking that, by creating or aggravating turmoil, they can seize the opportunity to create Socialist dictatorship. And, they were spectacularly correct in 1917 Russia, 1933 Germany, and 1949 China. Not surprisingly, the Socialists now running the Democrat Party think that they can work the same magic in 2024 America by fomenting turmoil, and they certainly have done a bang-up job getting the turmoil to a feverish pitch.
Along the way, though, the Democrat Party omitted the observation that Russia, Germany, and China were no hotbeds of representative democracy populated with folks who, relatively speaking, were unoppressed by an existing regime. So, the turmoil that they have fomented in the U.S. just might not result in a “beautiful Socialist utopia” coming to power in America, but an enraged population of patriots used to freedom and personal responsibility beating the Socialist ideologues and their followers into a proverbial pulp. As a friend of mine, who is not even a conservative said, “We’ve just about had enough of this Socialist bullshit that the Democrat Party is dishing out. Fuck ’em.”
I’ve seen much online discussion about not only how Germany is not able to run a functional government at this time, but about how Germany was never capable of self-government.
50% maybe, 50% socialist loving, dependent gimmes and growing every day through the Border.
” So, the turmoil that they have fomented in the U.S. just might not result in a “beautiful Socialist utopia” coming to power in America, but an enraged population of patriots used to freedom and personal responsibility beating the Socialist ideologues and their followers into a proverbial pulp”.
Maybe. Sure sounds like a Kelly Turnbull plot line. And Schlichter spent a lot of pages and books on it.
Joe Biden gaffe of the day:
The “Erectionists”
httpsXX://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1792577532065157570
Sounds like a bad movie title that would feature Stormy Daniels.
“The “Erectionists””
Dunno, you could call the Amish at a barn raising ‘erectionists’!
Did he really say that? What was he trying to say?
“The Erectionists.”
Maybe he was channeling his hearing of Xiaoping’s pronunciation of election groups?
Oh wow, I hadn’t realized that Chris Cuomo’s jab injury story was actually the creation of a modified limited hangout. I didn’t stay for the party too long then but I did find it interesting.
Truth and Consequences is smack dab in the middle of a big ole desert. At least it has some nice hot springs and natural beauty. Otherwise yawn, wake me up when we get to lala land lol
I’m metaphorically sitting on my front porch sipping my drink and watching what’s happening. As I’ve said so many times, we cannot know the future because it hasn’t occurred yet. Maybe we will call this the era of the black swan. Black swans theoretically are unknown, just like a space rock coming around from behind the sun and unexpectedly swatting us in the ass.
Commenters here have been very creative about trying to predict what’s going to happen. At least one of you guys will be correct.
Did anyone here watch the movie ‘Melancholia’ ? Our situation reminds me of that movie. I feel like I’m watching something inevitably coming down on us. Whoosh!
From what I’ve discerned from your past posts Beaner, you have lived a good life. Ups and downs excepted, be thankful that you and your family were quite blessed during the time period in this history that you were born into.
My Dad was born in 1946. My Mom in 1947. Quintessential Baby Boomers.
As such, they lived through the absolute peak of prosperity and leisure for the Average Joe & Jill.
Normalcy bias had many believing that this blip in history was the “new paradigm shift,” the inevitable future but they were, of course, wrong.
My parents were born the same years only reversed.
I am thankful to have been able to live many years on the tail end of those years of prosperity. I’ve prepared as good as I can by staying out of debt, learning to grow food, living a simple but charming life.
My children will not enjoy the same prosperity.
@cowbell:
I am thankful and I have been blessed. That’s all that really matters.
So many natural things could lead to our demise. No intervention by mankind required. Yellowstone event, asteroid strike, magnetic pole flip, cosmic dust cloud leading to ice age, Super nova within a few hundred thousand light-years. , etc. etc. All of these are not if but when events. As for me. My peas are doing great, there was no late frost to kill the fruit blooms. Rainfall is right on schedule an the sky is perfect today. I’m diggin’ it.
Yeah, and it was a disturbing movie.
What are you drinking, Bill lol? I saw parts of it. I just got done telling sadly that eventually everybody has their high noon moment. Imagine that being a planet smashing into ya. In a lot of cases there’s not much you can do. Especially when so many people are dumb. So it’s good you are enjoying a sip on the porch. I hope the breeze is nice lol.
In a lot of cases there’s not much you can do. Especially when so many people are dumb.
Truer words were never spoken.
Awww thanks OG. Occasionally i’ll throw a little pearl out there. I hope your week is starting off good!
It will be nice for a moment, SSL. It will be interesting to see how I react to such a situation, watching a world crash into us. Brr – gives me the shivers.
As to what I’ll be drinking, I don’t know, but whatever it is, it will be strong and saturated in my body. Either that or I’ll be tripping on some 1960’s drug.
lol you so crazy, Bill. You could pop some ecstasy with that drink and you’ll be right as rain in time for the collision of the worlds. ;0P
“Shrooms will be legal soon in MA.Bill. I have PTSD according to Jarek so I’m guaranteed a scrip. Put your orders in now. I’ll be dealin’ grams for 20 bucks.Cash only. No CBDC’s

Bill, imho, in order to finance a life of trippin’ & sippin’ on your porch in the midst of total anarchy, you may want to consider, right quick, converting some of your US Fed fiat counterfeit ass-wipe for physical assets.
It is very conceivable that, one day, all the digits on bank statements will become worthless. One day.
After the mayhem and destruction, we will then be given their new currency. Of course, you must take their mark to “own” and spend their new currency. On the other hand, if you refuse their mark, you will be unable to buy or sell anything in their new currency economy.
God, please help the latter. Like refusing the jab in 2021-22, they will choose the difficult straight-and-narrow while family, friends, masses march through the wide Gates of Hell. For those few that choose You over Satan, please make their time short on their path to Your kingdom.
Is this when we will need to flee into the wilderness to eat locusts and honey? Eating locusts will be a big punishment in my estimation. Some people say the chocolate covered crickets are actually pretty yummy.
My daughter has eaten crickets in Asia and said they were nice.
I can’t go there (crickets, not Asia), but I accept it’s psychological. I love prawns, but I have a friend who very nearly put me off them by referring to them repeatedly as sea maggots/bottom feeders. Which is kinda true. I also saw river prawns being raised, somewhere in Asia, in a river that basically served as a toilet. That put me off prawns even more.
Hey GA what is the nutritional data in crickets?
Surely we can find something that they cause when eaten.
Calories? Sugar? Salt?
Aren’t prawns shrimp? Catfish are basically the same. Bottom feeders. But fried catfish is very naughtily good lol. So are crawfish but I hate peeling them so its better to get them already peeled and cleaned. If you don’t like lookin at that type of stuff for sure too.
Well crickets do have parasites and stuff, John. So they say the prep is super important to kill them. Kinda icky if you ask me.
“Surely we can find something that they cause when eaten.”
I don’t think we need to look very far, JAZ. I’ve already read about something dangerous to humans that is in insects, but I can’t remember what is is.
“Aren’t prawns shrimp?”
When I wrote that I wondered if it would travel well!
What we call prawns are generally Norwegian prawns (small). What we call shrimps are an even smaller version of prawns.
However, when I went to a wholesale outlet in a small Scottish town on the west coast (up north) to get ‘prawns’ (thinking they were Norwegian prawns) it turned out what they called prawns were langoustines, which we got anyway for the BBQ.
Wow! Who knew that there would be so many different names for shrimpies!?
I wouldn’t worry about prawns so much. As an omnivore (98% of us) who doesn’t eat grass-fed meat (well over 90% of us in the West), the chemicals and hormone injections that accompany beef, pig, and chicken, as well as the added shit from the slaughterhouse floor, would put anyone off their prime rib.
Sometimes, ignorance really is bliss.
Happy May 2-4, eh?
You’re so Canadian, OG. Is that a reference to Victoria Day?
It refers to both Victoria Day and a large case of beer for Victory Day Weekend.
***
I drank Molson Canadian back in the day.
What does that taste like. Beer typically tastes yucky to me buy i’ve never sipped Molson Canadian. Aren’t you all cleaned up and spic and span now, OG?
Molson Canadian is a strong mass-produced lager. Molson and Labbatt’s Blue used to dominate Canada like Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The big breweries, however, have steadily lost marketshare to small-batch micro breweries and their craft beers.
***
Yes, SSL. I am complete off the alcohol for over four years now. Praise the Lord!
Awww congrats, OG, that is amazing! So happy for you. You are an example for a lot of people!
“… war, sickness, a disordered economy, chaos in money and finance, savages pouring across the open borders, assassination, mayhem in the streets, systems failure, mental illness everywhere you look.”
At least we can say our time on Planet Earth wasn’t boring. Although boring is starting to look damn good right now.
“This maliciously misguided prosecution has only accomplished one thing so far: to demonstrate to the American public that the authority of our law has been contorted to become a sick joke.”
We’ve gone from Perry Mason cleverly saving his innocent client from the gallows… to lawyers and robe-wearers throwing their law books into the trash heap and taking orders from voices unseen from the shadows. Maybe Paul Drake should look into this.
“Tribulation may be the only answer that will avail to correct America’s tragic capture by blobs foreign and domestic.”
Tribulation is needed but only for the many perps. Rest, restoration and a comforting hand and hug is desperately needed for We the People.
“The war will end in humiliation for all concerned in the West…”
That is a Boiler-Plate epitaph that also applies to… Vietnam… Iraq… Afghanistan… The War On Drugs… The War Against ‘COVID’… The War On Poverty… etc.
So many Wars. So much humilitation (that never results in real and much-needed humility).

That depends. Sane America will continue to do its best to survive and add value to Universe. While WokeAmerica will stay on course into madness, societal destruction, delusion, and the pursuit of all things dark and demented. Two Nations living within one land mass that will harvest starkly real consequences for all.
Chaos itself gets boring after a while. Let’s shoot for regular-old boring for a change.
AP
JERUSALEM (AP) — The chief prosecutor of the world’s top war crimes court sought arrest warrants Monday for leaders of Israel and Hamas, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over actions taken during their seven-month war.
While Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, do not face imminent arrest, the announcement by the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor was a symbolic blow that deepened Israel’s isolation over the war in Gaza.
The court’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, accused Netanyahu, Gallant, and three Hamas leaders — Yehia Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh — of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel.
Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders condemned the move as disgraceful and antisemitic. U.S. President Joe Biden also lambasted the prosecutor and supported Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas.
A panel of three judges will decide whether to issue the arrest warrants and allow a case to proceed. The judges typically take two months to make such decisions.
Israel is not a member of the court, so even if the arrest warrants are issued, Netanyahu and Gallant do not face any immediate risk of prosecution. But the threat of arrest could make it difficult for the Israeli leaders to travel abroad.
Netanyahu called the prosecutor’s accusations against him a “disgrace,” and an attack on the Israeli military and all of Israel. He vowed to press ahead with Israel’s war against Hamas.
President Biden said the effort to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant over the war in Gaza was “outrageous,” adding “whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas.”
Hamas also denounced the ICC prosecutor’s actions, saying the request to arrest its leaders “equates the victim with the executioner.”
Netanyahu has come under heavy pressure at home to end the war sooner than later. Thousands of Israelis have joined weekly demonstrations calling on the government to reach a deal to bring home Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity, fearing that time is running out.
In recent days, the two other members of his war Cabinet, Gallant and Benny Gantz, have threatened to resign if Netanyahu does not spell out a clear postwar vision for Gaza.
But on Monday, Netanyahu received wall-to-wall support as politicians across the spectrum condemned the ICC prosecutor’s move. They included Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, and his two main political rivals, Gantz and opposition leader Yair Lapid.
It is unclear what effect Khan’s move will have on Netanyahu’s public standing. The possibility of an arrest warrant against Netanyahu, whose popularity has dropped during the war, could give him a boost as Israelis rally behind the flag. But his opponents could also blame him for bringing a diplomatic catastrophe on the country.
Yuval Shany, an expert on international law at Hebrew University and the Israel Democracy Institute, a Jerusalem think tank, said it was far more certain that Netanyahu’s already troubled international standing could be further weakened.
“This is going to make Netanyahu an outcast, and his ability to move around the world will be seriously compromised,” said Shany. Even if the ICC does not issue the arrest warrant, other countries may now be more reluctant to provide support and assistance, he said.
Hamas is already considered an international terrorist group by the West. Both Sinwar and Deif are believed to be hiding in Gaza. But Haniyeh, the supreme leader of the Islamic militant group, is based in Qatar and frequently travels across the region. Qatar, like Israel, is not a member of the ICC.
The latest war between Israel and Hamas began on Oct. 7, when militants from Gaza crossed into Israel and killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 250 others hostage.
Since then, Israel has waged a brutal campaign to dismantle Hamas in Gaza. More than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting, at least half of them women and children, according to the latest estimates by Gaza health officials.
The war has triggered a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, displacing roughly 80% of the population and leaving hundreds of thousands of people on the brink of starvation, according to U.N. officials.
Speaking of the Israeli actions, Khan said “the effects of the use of starvation as a method of warfare, together with other attacks and collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza are acute, visible and widely known. … They include malnutrition, dehydration, profound suffering and an increasing number of deaths among the Palestinian population, including babies, other children, and women.”
The United Nations and other aid agencies have repeatedly accused Israel of hindering aid deliveries throughout the war. Israel denies this, saying there are no restrictions on aid entering Gaza and accusing the U.N. of failing to distribute aid.
Of the Hamas actions on Oct. 7, Khan, who visited the region in December, said that he saw for himself “the devastating scenes of these attacks and the profound impact of the unconscionable crimes charged in the applications filed today.”
In their rampage, Hamas militants gunned down scores of revelers at a dance party and killed entire families as they huddled in their homes. “These acts demand accountability,” Khan said.
Israel is also facing a South African case in the International Court of Justice, the U.N.’s top court, accusing Israel of genocide. Israel denies those charges.
The ICC was established in 2002 as the permanent court of last resort to prosecute individuals responsible for the world’s most heinous atrocities — war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression.
The U.N. General Assembly endorsed the ICC, but the court is independent.
Dozens of countries don’t accept the court’s jurisdiction over war crimes, genocide and other crimes. They include Israel, the United States, Russia and China.
The ICC becomes involved when nations are unable or unwilling to prosecute crimes on their territory. Israel argues it has a functioning court system.
The ICC accepted “The State of Palestine” as a member in 2015, a year after the Palestinians accepted the court’s jurisdiction.
The court’s chief prosecutor at the time announced in 2021 she was opening an investigation into possible crimes on Palestinian territory. Israel often levies accusations of bias at U.N. and international bodies, and Netanyahu condemned the decision as hypocritical and antisemitic.
In 2020, then U.S. President Donald Trump authorized economic and travel sanctions on the ICC prosecutor and another senior prosecutor. The ICC staff were looking into U.S. and allies’ troops for possible war crimes in Afghanistan.
President Biden lifted the sanctions in 2021.
Last year, the court issued a warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on charges of responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine. Russia responded by issuing its own arrest warrants for Khan and ICC judges.

Jarek: Netanyahu has been declared a possible war criminal who needs to be tried. It’s going to be hard to bring him to justice though. Israel will have to brought down first. Will he flee to Argentinian or Chilean Patagonia? Will special teams go there and extradite him?
The ICC are globalists and their morality is suspect in the larger sense – even if they are sometimes right. The World System is cracking and that’s what needs to happen.
Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders condemned the move as disgraceful and antisemitic.
Who saw that comin’?
“The ICC are globalists and their morality is suspect in the larger sense”
At least two petitions were submitted do the ICC regarding covid crimes against humanity and they just sat on their hands.
Historically, they seem to have been mostly used to attack African leaders that the UK didn’t like, but that may be an exaggeration.
Yes! There’s is a job that could definitely be done by AI.
Every so often, condemn some African leader and vary it with Israel.
Better yet, a talking parrot. At least a parrot would be cute.

Oh Beryl!
I have a great meme that shows the faces of the ICC targets up until recently, Alba (pre-Putin, that is. )
The whitest target on there is Ghaddafi. African leaders galore.
Damn straight that is a US invention that doesn’t apply to the US, in the rules-based order.
The head of the ICC told Christine Amanpour that he was told by a European leader to back off Netanyahu, because the ICC was supposed to be “for Africans and thugs like Putin”, not for those favored by the Empire.
So there you go, straight from the horse’s mouth.
The ICC has an arrest warrant out on Putin too.
The ICC can wipe their @$$ with their warrants for all they’re worth.
In a related matter, twelve GOP Senators, The Dirty Dozen, sent an extortion/racketeering letter to senior International Criminal Court lawyers that literally ended: “You have been warned.” for goodness sakes!

As a proud American, Heckler, what are your thoughts on The Dirty Dozen and their completely off-the-rails diplomacy?
Well what do we have here? OG, the “original gangster”? I’ll say. He’s on the side of scofflaws, scallywags, scumbags, and sociopaths, kowtowing to the spiritual children of the original OG of Arabia, Muhammad.
a) No.
b) Ad homs don’t make unanswered questions disappear.
If the shoe fits it’s yours, OG. What unanswered questions do you have? I’ll answer if you can ask.
OG does not stand for “original gangster” in my particular case.
The repeatedly unanswered question is bold and is actually directed at Heckler but feel free to throw in your two cent – that’s what we’re here for.
As a proud American, Heckler, what are your thoughts on The Dirty Dozen and their completely off-the-rails diplomacy?
OG, I did answer, though indirectly. You’re siding with the lying, conniving, homicidal, blaspheming, thieving, and adulterous spirit of Muhammad, that comes up with these attacks on Israel and the West in his jihad for world domination, If you’re on the side of the biggest OG around these days, that makes you a little OG, at least.
The ICC, while not entirely Islamic, is run by the scofflaws, scallywags, scumbags and sociopaths who kowtow to the Beast. If you are looking to the Lord Jesus Christ, start to know who you’re following here. It is pure evil. I’m not saying Israel is pure, but in the contest of who is on the side of right in the war initiated by Islam, Israel is the right side.
I’m not siding with Hamas or Israel, Unc Abe.
I seek the truth.
OG – you gave a disgusting description of what those 12 senators were doing by standing up to the corrupt and wicked ICC ruling. You show no respect for God or the Truth in your assessment, ascribing evil to what is good.
Isa 5:20-24
(20) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
(21) Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!
(22) Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
(23) who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!
(24) Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
BRH worships power first and foremost. Who is stronger than “the Strong Man”, also known as Satan?
Christ is, but this is Satan’s Kingdom and he reigns here. When Christ attacks, what will BRH do? Switch his allegiance at the last minute? Or be a loyal fool?
Jarek, you know nothing about Jesus or Satan. The First you can’t see, and the second you serve assiduously – the fish that doesn’t know it’s in water.
Atheists “Logic”
God only reveals Himself to those who seek Him.
I do not seek Him.
God does not reveal Himself to me.
Therefore, God does not exist.
Not exactly Einstein.
OG – Tit 1:15-16
(15) To the pure all things are pure. But to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
(16) They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient and reprobate to every good work.
I don’t care what is going on in Israel, Gaza, or any other place on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. And neither would the Founders who followed President Washington’s recommendation.
I care about what is happening right here in this country. As Pogo famously observed, ‘We’ve met the enemy and it is ourselves’. Let’s sort out our own destiny first. Maybe some other nations will follow that example.
@Breck
Well Breck, you might as well say that Israel is part of America at this point…After all look who owns this goddamn country, they do….Not us. As far as I’m concerned we should just get rid of the red, white, and blue flag, and put up the fucking Israeli flag in it’s place. The only difference between Israel and the U.S. is that all the shit they promote here they don’t promote it over there.
What I don’t get is why do they keep saying “hamas” they make it sound like attacking defenseless women, kids, and even men who aren’t even part of Hamas “defending yourself.” What a fucking joke. I wonder if years from now will they feel any guilt the same way they’ve been pushing it on white people to feel guilt over slavery. But if ICC are globalist well that’s shit. They might as well should leave Netanyahu alone.
The IDF isn’t attacking defenseless women and kids. That’s what Hamas does. Oh, but you don’t want to hear that word. Close your ears to truth and open them to lies. New Name: TruthDenier 86’d
Good grief, Abe. You know 2000 lb bombs kill indiscriminately.

The International Criminal Court Violating International Law Itself
armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/rule-of-law/the-international-criminal-court-violating-international-law-itself/
While the death of President Raisi is not, IMO, going to significantly change the situation (whether he was deliberately killed by the US and/or Israel, by another party who wanted it to look that way, or by a third party HIRED by the US and/or Israel, or if it was really an accident),
Raisi’s passing will occupy the news cycle few days, and give the Israelis a break from the bad publicity that is inherent when killing lots of civilians.
That in and of itself would be a motive for Israel to take him out.
Azerbaijan is an ally of Israel–Israel played an instrumental role in arming the Azerbaijanis and giving them a decisive edge over Armenia in the past two wars.
The IRANIAN President really had not business flying to Israel’s ally, let alone in a helicopter, let alone in bad weather.
Strange bedfellows, Israel & mostly Muslim Azerbaijan.
And Armenia’s main backer is Turkey.
Both sides deployed Russian Artillery, Kalashnikovs, and tanks.
This is a time where people need to be asking themselves “who’s bed am i actually in?” lol
@backrhowheckler
No, Armenia’s main backer is NOT Turkey!!!!
Do you not know that Turkey killed about a million Armenians before and during WW1?
Today, Turkey control’s access to Armenia (from the West). Without Turkey’s permission the only alternative is thru Russia and then Georgia, or Iran (from the south).
Turkey and Israel are Azerbaijan’s most important allies.
If this has changed, and Israel and Azerbaijan have had a falling out since Oct 07, some one let us know, and point us in a direction where we can see/hear/read for ourselves.
(it’s possible, but unlikely–the relationship is very important to both countries, though now that Azerbaijan has retaken Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh), unless Azerbaijan is looking for MORE wars against Armenia, the benefit to Azerbaijan is less. However, the ability to spy and snoop on northern Iran is very important to Israel).
My mistake then, Socrates. I thought during the last war a few years ago Armenia was deploying drones they got from Turkey, and they were up against drones that Israel supplied to Azerbaijan.
It turns out that the helicopter was not in Azerbaijan, the country.
It was in a province of Iran called East Azerbaijan. Apparently Azerbaijan, the country, was once part of Iran, but now it’s separate and Iran has two provinces named Azerbaijan.
So they named everything the same, to confuse westerners. (JK).
Americans need to wake the F up, including Mr. Knulster. The final paragraph and most of his writings include statements that somehow “those responsible” aka the “blob” aka “Joe Biden” will be held responsible.
Got some news for you: They won’t. Not now. Probably not ever. The ONLY way that they will be “held accountable” is if there is a total system collapse, a total economic collapse and a total supply chain collapse sometime in the next 5 years.
When the masses are hungry, wiped out with nothing left to lose…only then…will they fight back and “hold those responsible accountable”.
It reminds me of the final scene in “Three Days of the Condor” where Joe Turner and CIA man Higgins are standing on the sidewalk in NYC outside the NY Times building:
Three Days of the Condor, 1975:
Higgins: It’s simple economics. Today it’s oil, right? In ten or fifteen years, food. Plutonium. Maybe even sooner. Now, what do you think the people are gonna want us to do then?
Joe Turner: Ask them?
Higgins: Not now – then! Ask ’em when they’re running out. Ask ’em when there’s no heat in their homes and they’re cold. Ask ’em when their engines stop. Ask ’em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won’t want us to ask ’em. They’ll just want us to get it for ’em!
Then Turner points to the NY Times building and tells Higgins that “they have it (the story) to which Higgins replies “How do you know they’ll print it”.
Well they won’t print it. The wouldnt in 1975 and won’t in 2024. When the system blows up, we will be left to fight on our own. Perhaps the 24 Constitutional Red States will Secede at that point, to form the “Constitutional States of America” sometime in say…2029.
However do you see any strong leadership from the Red States which would give them the incentive to do this? Who would lead the new Constitutional States of America and be the new Jefferson Davis? Ron DeSantis? Don’t count on it.
Here is how the next year will go down:
1) Trump will be convicted in NYC and setenced to prison. No, he committed no crime…but the Far Left is intent on convicting him. They have their jurisdiction, jury and judge in place. It does not matter how terrible Cohen is on the stand, blah blah blah…the fix is in and he will be convicted.
The Left will go crazy “First President convicted of a felony!!!!” they will scream and all of their media pundits and celebrities will applaud and say “see we told you he was a criminal!”.
This will simply be laying the foundation for 2024 Election Fraud.
2) Biden / Harris will be replaced with Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer just prior to the DNC Convention, so they can parade them all out there in front of their base.
Biden will graciously step down and will be given a decca million severance in the form of book deals, movie deals (a bio pic starring Jeff Daniels), a vast Presidential Library and glowing tributes to him in the NYP and WaPo.
Newsom / Whitmer will be painted as a young, progressive team ready to lead the US in to the 2030s. After the next mail in ballot fraud, media and tech collusion filled “selection”….Gavin Newsom will be crowned “President”.
Kamala Harris will be appointed their Attorney General, easily confirmed by the Democrat Senate in 2025. Watch and see.
After that all bets will be off…. with the US careening towards a disastrous crash sometime in 2027 or 2028. What will happen then? If there is a Secession, will “President” Newsom send in the military to try to stop it and kick off CW 2.0? Either way, a lot of people are going to get killed. Prep up.
Sorry for the typo, I misspelled Mr. Kunstler’s name.
big mistake
No need to be sorry about typos. Most of here with common sense can read something with typos and know instantly what the author actually meant to write.
See? What did I tell you? I left out “us” and still everybody knows right away what I meant to write. That’s the best we can do with no ability to edit posts.
Mr. Knulster? Your post should be deleted.
Momentary dyslexia is forgiveable!
Oh ok, my default settings didn’t allow that consideration within the moment.
I suspect that, actually, it was just thick fingers, but the letters were all there, just jumbled, so I thought I’d go for dyslexia. All tongue in cheek anyway!
Oh absolutely tongue in cheek, of course.
Any bold predictions for the next 5 years that does not even mention the US Fed fiat counterfeit ass-wipe is not even worth that, imho.
@ET777
Interesting. Unfortunately, also plausible.
I can tell you that Whitmer is good at projecting superficial attributes such as “likeability” and “reach across the aisle”, when in reality, she is hell-bent on absolute power.
She is a gifted liar–she successfully lied her way win her first election by promising to “fix the damn roads” without raising taxes. Her GOP opponent called her out for increasing gasoline taxes, and she accused him of misleading the public. Then, once elected, her original plan called for increasing fuel taxes MORE than her opponent had said she would (her plan was rejected).
She milked the plandemic for all it was worth.
She could even head the ticket (in your scenario, where Trump is convicted, imprisoned, and senile Biden is told “Joe, Trump is in jail, now it’s time for you retire”. “OK Jill”. “You’re good man Joe, good boy. Here is a treat for you”. LOL.).
Whitmer is just one more problem bedeviling America–and she and the Democrats are a BIG problem bedeviling Michigan. This state could be the canary in the coal mine for America’s future when things get bad—small town and Northern Michigan on side, Detroit, and some suburbs and cities on the other.
Good post ET777.

Tell me where you get your prophetic musings from? A crystal ball?
I think your musings are impressive to read and consider but the truth is NOBODY knows what is going to happen as the world today is in uncharted waters. We don’t know what is going to happen because we have never been in these conditions before.
Knuckle up. Get ready. It’s going to be interesting one way or the other.
Predictions are always fun. Here’s mine:
TPTB won’t want hyperinflation with the inevitable collapse of the dollar since they won’t want to be on the receiving end of lamppost ornament construction.
They’ll transition the media-manipulated citizens into the glories of CBDCs, and any who fail to comply with the set-up, or who speak out against it, will quietly disappear into jail or sequestered camps, never to be heard from again.
The remaining surveilled plebes will put up with a heavily censored internet (the other media outlets long ago having undergone the same transformation), aside from the millions of sites that’ll be outright abolished.

“…only then…will they fight back and “hold those responsible accountable”.” ~ ET777
What if someone like Fauci takes a head shot? Wouldn’t that show that there are those out there who believe in holding people responsible and accountable? The ones that aren’t just keyboard warriors?
Further, wouldn’t that interrupt your storyline? How many public appearances do you think Newsom and Whitmer will make while the rest of the cockroaches are scattering and running for cover?
Ed Dowd says his latest data indicates there are 33 million, dead and disabled, from the “vaccines”. Shall we let that pass? Look the other way?
In a just world, there are plenty who don’t deserve to see 2025. Follow me?
This happened in Ukraine….
“The unit of 110 OMBR received an order to attack, but the commanders decided that the order was criminal and against the background of the end of Zelensky’s legitimacy it was not necessary to fulfill it, but to go to Kiev, to restore order.
Thus, a unit with about 200 soldiers of the NATO PMC “VSU” refused to carry out the order and began to negotiate with other units on the need to “deal with the traitors in Kiev”.
However, as it turned out, for such cases in that area there was a unit “Wolves Da Vinci” from 67 OMBR, which served as a barricade and “fire department in case of riots”, consisting of selected ultra-nationalists and foreigners.
A battle ensued, the 110 OMBR unit lost about 80 men, many wounded, and about 20 men managed to escape and deserted their positions. The Nazi unit “Wolves Da Vinci” lost about 15 mercenaries.
Thus, ultra-nationalists from 67 OMBR killed 80 Ukrainians from 110 OMBR who did not want to just go to die as silent slaves, relatives of the killed believe that people should know the truth.
All participants of the incident from the 110th OMBR are now kept in the basement, they take non-disclosure bonds from them, they are persuaded by violence and reprisals against their families. They say “state secret”, although, in fact, it is just a mass murder.”
Thanks, Paula. Goes to show there are still some men who will do what’s right and necessary, regardless of the personal consequences.
I firmly believe there is a contingent in the US Military, who will not follow unlawful orders – who take their sworn oath to defend the Constitution seriously.
The Oath Keepers are one such group – although retired and ex-military. When the time comes though, there needs to be a contingent of active military in the mix.
No revolution has ever succeeded without an active – call it dissident or outside – professional military component. The French assisted us in 1776.
Personally, I think Trump dog-whistled a military component on J6. Had they shown – righting the obvious wrong – we’d be in a very different place right now. Very different.
Y’all better be worried about a military coup d’etat. A recent show on Tucker Carlson (for members) had a guest on who is an expert on what is called the “Transition Integrity Project”.
“It’s a Washington insider government simulation predicting potential political violence in 2024, and it says the only way there won’t be violence is if Joe Biden wins in a landslide. Of course.
Does that sound like a threat? Will the Democratic Party launch a coup if its candidate doesn’t win?
Security strategist J Michael Waller has thought deeply about all of these pressing questions…”.
Of all the scenarios that have been posited, this one scares me the most. That’s because the Democrat Political Machine appears to have the power to do whatever it wants.
They’ve got the Federal Government held tight in their closed fist, with the FBI ready to do their bidding; most of the State houses, the Judiciary, and of course the Mainstream Media.
Hell’s Bells! there’s a sizable component of the American citizenry who believe the biggest threat to the country is “White Supremacy” for God’s sake! That’s so far from relevant as to be somewhere in the vicinity of the orbit of Neptune.
One thing should be crystal clear, my friends, the Democratic Party of George Soros and his Friends are NOT going to give up the power they seized in 2020. Never. Period. And it is this certainty that will lead to whatever apocalypse awaits this nation.
I like how you used “my friends” within your post. It kinda made it feel like we were gathering around a fireplace or campfire listening to a really good story and it just felt inclusive. George Soros is so gross and ugly that he is actually the perfect face for the apocalypse.
No one really looks good when they hit 90 years old. Even Stalone is ugly and he’s not even that old. But compared to how handsome he was when he was in Rambo 1, 2, 3, etc you get the idea.
Oh well yeah, I mean, I get what you’re saying. I was kinda referring to a little more than just the physicality. Like, there is just an icky aura that he gives off that is very creepy. Like the creep factor is super escalated with him.
I wonder. Watched a You Tubbe today about how the USA will split up when it does. It showed a lot of the attempted secessions through the years and how they might continue today.
Cascadia. Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia
Aztlan Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah. Actively being worked by La Raza and folks from academia in New Mexico. They consider the Hidalgo treaty invalid.
Texas. Continuously, they feel the accord turning them from a republic to a state is reversible on there terms.
Deseret Big area of the West controlled by the Mormons.
Lakota. Big area of the Great Plains that the Natives believe is still theirs. Center on the Black Hills. Christie Noem is running up against this crowd now.
California has continued to split itself apart over and over and it goes on. Right now it is coast against desert.
The first secession movement was New England led by Aaron Burr against the Republicans from Virginia. Alexander Hamilton bad mouthed him, calling him dangerous, We know how that worked out. The War of 1812 ended that split. Today Vermont is the center of a lot of sesech activity.
The South is still active waiting to secede. A group of Right wingers want out of the union every time a Dem is elected.
Ironically, one of the NW groups who want out are White Supremicists only.
Gee, maybe the Dems will use the ICC to go after Trump next.
They have already called Putin a war criminal and if he journeys to the wrong place, they will turn him in.
The UN has just turned into another power center, with all the judicial corruption that goes with it.
Just turned into? The UN has always been an evil and Satanic institution. Lol, you’re too funny, John.
The ICC is sending the EU Tranny Brigade to arrest Putin & Netanyahu lol. They’ll be showing up in Moscow & Tel Aviv with a warrant and in full battle dress … and you can imagine what their full battle dress looks like.
@BackRowHeckler
Arrest Putin for what?
TS1986
The ICC is just another power grab by the globalists.
How come Biden, Bush, Bush1, Clinton, Obama, HRC have not been indicted by the ICC for starting the wars they did.
Biden. Ukraine along with Nuland, Syria
Bush Iraq, Afghanistan
Bush 1 Kuwait
Clinton. Balkans
Obama with HRC. Libya, Syria
Each had civilian genocide.
It really shows how stupid the PTB are. They think they can control the PTB from having wars?
Hahahahaha!
@JohnAZ
I look at warfare as a total waste of human life, honestly. War should only be necessary if a nation is being invaded by an aggressor. But all these bullshit wars we’ve had even before I was born, they were all intended to make a bunch of pathetic cock suckers wealthy while everyone else died.
That’s why it always amazed me how they would call someone a “draft dodger” back when they had the draft, yet the very people slandering anyone who didn’t want to fight a draft dodger was in fact a draft dodger themselves. But yes all those names you listed they are guilty of war crimes. And the ICC did nothing about it.
I don’t think they have the power to do anything but we shouldn’t have out of control idiots starting wars to begin with. Like I said war should only be fought if someone is trying to invade another nation, only THEN should warfare be necessary.
TS1986
One country invading another is not the only reason for war, actual it is not the reason for most wars.
Differences of opinion.
IMHO, for every opinion there is an equal and opposite opinion. That is humanity.
So how to resolve the differences of opinion.
Aha, diplomacy is one, “Let us reason together”.
That does’t work, we will take it to court. One side wins, maybe.
The other side disagrees and is willing to fight for his cause. Diplomacy again.
That does not work, what next? If the powers are big enough,
War. Most wars are one person or one group against another.
Unfortunately, mankind has not figured out a way to settle feuds when the stakes are big enough.
Wars used to be small groups. Today due to higher and higher tech, it is now big and elimination of one side.
It seems trivial that what the opinions are except to he people that have the opinions.
Example: You live in Sacramento and between Newsom and the locals they add on taxes to the point you cannot afford to live there. You are going to lose your domicile, your living, etc. Homelessness is your future. ‘
Unless you leave, or fight back.
In the civil war, for example, the southern gentleman farmers held their wealth in slaves. The southern capital pool was human beings. When the plantation boys faced losing everything they owned they went to war. It made no difference whether it was right or wrong.
@TS1986
For war crimes apparently. The warrant was issued in 2022.
So far an arrest has not been made lol.
The ICC accused Putin of “kidnapping children”.
This is because Russia set up a system for getting children out of the war zone of Mariupol.
They also issued an arrest warrant for the woman in charge of the rescue mission.
Recently, Germany reported that some of the children the ICC listed as being “kidnapped” were actually living in Germany, with their parents.
Do the facts make any effect on the warrants?
Ha, ha, of course not. We live in Fantasy World, where our overlords create reality, persecute their enemies, and we just bicker over it.
From the AP article that BK posted upthread:
The ICC was established in 2002 as the permanent court of last resort to prosecute individuals responsible for the world’s most heinous atrocities — war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression.
The U.N. General Assembly endorsed the ICC, but the court is independent.
Who the hell made them God anyway. Who is the supreme leader that will prevent its usage for political gain?
The WEF, sounds like one of their cockamamie ideas.
Who will be the supreme judge? Or who will the committee be? Both belong in Fugazy land.
JAZ, the ICC have brought charges against Bibi, Gallant and three Hamas leaders.
If their goal is purely political, why would they bring charges against BOTH sides?
***
See, I think that you don’t think. “ICC brings charges of war crimes against Bibi, therefore they are corrupt.” when, really, the most likely scenario, by far, is that they have substantial evidence of Bibi war crimes. D’uh.
Bringing charges against Hamas legitimizes, in the view of non-thinkers like you, charges against Netanyahu and Israel by extension, as its elected leader who has the backing of the country in its war against Hamas.
Who the hell made them God anyway. Who is the supreme leader that will prevent its usage for political gain?
124 countries are States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Out of them 33 are African States, 19 are Asia-Pacific States, 19 are from Eastern Europe, 28 are from Latin American and Caribbean States, and 25 are from Western European and other States.

The ICC is a joke. They do nothing but play politics, they do nothing against the people that count. All those countries you are so proud of would do the same shit as any other country the ICC would accuse if they needed to.
Afghanistan. A joke as the Taliban kill anybody they want.
Argentina, still want to kick UKs ass over the Falklands. France, ready to go to war with Russia, Is Macron the next on the list?, and on and on.
I will ask you the same question again, Who is the supreme leader here? Are you a globalist now thinking that all the countries make one single damn about anything?
Biden Reversed Trump Policy Against ICC, Leaving the U.S. and Israel Vulnerable
“In June 2020, Trump issued Executive Order 13928, slapping sanctions on ICC officials who attempted to investigate U.S. soldiers — and soldiers of allied countries — for military actions against terrorists.
The order, noting that the U.S. is not a party to the Rome Statute establishing the ICC, declared:
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the situation with respect to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its illegitimate assertions of jurisdiction over personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including the ICC Prosecutor’s investigation into actions allegedly committed by United States military, intelligence, and other personnel in or relating to Afghanistan, threatens to subject current and former United States Government and allied officials to harassment, abuse, and possible arrest. These actions on the part of the ICC, in turn, threaten to infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States and impede the critical national security and foreign policy work of United States Government and allied officials, and thereby threaten the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
I therefore determine that any attempt by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any United States personnel without the consent of the United States, or of personnel of countries that are United States allies and who are not parties to the Rome Statute or have not otherwise consented to ICC jurisdiction, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.
The order froze the assets of any ICC official “directly engaged in any effort by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any United States personnel without the consent of the United States … or prosecute any personnel of a country that is an ally of the United States without the consent of that country’s government.” It also denied entry visas to ICC officials engaged in such investigations.
Israel, like the U.S., is not a party to the Rome Statute; Trump’s order therefore protected Israel as well.
President Biden revoked Trump’s order shortly after taking office. Biden and the Democrats, proclaiming that “America is back,” sought to cultivate international goodwill by giving the ICC credibility and power.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared at the time:
We continue to disagree strongly with the ICC’s actions relating to the Afghanistan and Palestinian situations. We maintain our longstanding objection to the Court’s efforts to assert jurisdiction over personnel of non-States Parties such as the United States and Israel. We believe, however, that our concerns about these cases would be better addressed through engagement with all stakeholders in the ICC process rather than through the imposition of sanctions.
He added that the U.S. was “encouraged” about efforts to reform the ICC, though evidently they were not successful.”

“The Occult Theosophy of the United Nations” James Lindsay.
Lindsay’s always worth reading/listening to. Just tuned it in. Thank you.
You’re welcome. I haven’t heard it all yet.
Apparently UN documents are published by the Lucis Trust, which was previously called the Lucifer Trust. Heard that elsewhere, not in Lindsay’s podcast.
I’m not exactly sure about the Lucifer Trust part. I tend to think that either a much darker force used the theosophy part as a distraction or the original operation was hijacked. The teachings of Alice Bailey don’t appear on the face of it to align with people who want to destroy humanity in every conceivable way.
I agree, SSL.
I finished watching Lindsay’s video, and was surprised in that it was the first time I had a problem with his material.
Theosophy didn’t begin as a world domination cult. It was an honest, though naive, attempt to bring together sectarian religions by showing commonalities which exist(ed) in all of them.
They headhunted (in the benign businesslike meaning of that word) Krishnamurti, circa 1909, to be the World Teacher of Theosophy, but when K became a young adult, he came to the conclusion that Theosophy was much too sentimental, and he hated the organizational concerns and all that entails (money-making, pride, competition). The diabolism Lindsay references, through Robert Muller, comes much later.
And regarding Muller, sure he proselytized to the U.N., but that doesn’t mean the U.N., en masse, was immediately converted to its “spiritual” underpinnings, or that it doesn’t or wouldn’t adapt what they wanted from it, and throw the rest away.
I’m puzzled as to why Lindsay thinks the U.N. leaders are sincerely convinced, and have converted to this putative one-world religion. They’re atheists. And they only play the Satanist angle at times to rub it in the faces of Christians. (And when did Lindsay become a Christian, as he clearly argues for during this episode — did he recently convert?)
That’s another thing. Muller’s angle is just as destructive to religions other than Christianity. Hinduism, especially, but also (by definition) Islam would also be abolished by this new religious order. It seems to be a repurposed paganism combined with biased science.
In any event, I agree at least with Lindsay’s contention that it’s a cult.

What do you think of the painting? Get anything? Or of the six ton iron block? I don’t know what to think. Not overtly Satanic, at least not in the popular sense.
Alice Bailey wrote a few books, but most of her works were dictated by an entity known as “the Tibetan” or Dwaja Kuhl (not a real Tibetan name). He talked at great length about the higher Theosophy and politics. Definitely Globalism. He hated the Nazi Patriots, but also considered the Jews to be enormous trouble makers of ancient lineage.
Didn’t get into a lot of details, but I assume he would be down with the mass 3rd world invasion of the West. Pope Francis certainly is. Never said much about nations, but always talking about the glory of the coming Global Culture with its one religion: Theosophy.
Her husband was a Mason and wrote a few books as well. He was a disciple of Koot Hoomi – a made up Indian name.
On the UN and theosophy, today is apparently the UN’s ‘World Invocation Day’. Who knew? What a coincidence, though.
Make of it what you will. Christians are advised not to dabble in anything New Age/Theosophist/Occult.

Link from the second article:

The Lucis/Lucifer Trust is mentioned.
The Blob.That term is way too benign and amorphous to represent the bastards who want to destroy our system. It’s too comical and lighthearted.
How about the Mob, which is what they are.
What term do you think works, doc? I tend to think of them as toxoplasmotic parasites, but because of social media the term parasite has lost a lot of its umph.
Did you see the movie, The Blob? It is a fitting picture of an entity that just engulfs everything it touches and digests it.
Benign? Accurate!
Capitalism in its mature form in other words – when not constrained by the higher castes of warriors and brahmins.
As predictable as the sun rising in the morning, the usual suspects on here are analyzing the death of Iran’s Minister of Islamic Turd-Handling as if it’s the fucking Rosetta Stone. My guess is that Ahmed the pilot while day dreaming of his 72 virgins flew into a mountain in heavy fog. Sounds very similar to how Kobe Bryant went to the big pick-up game in the sky sans the Islamic bullshit (although it is well known that the Illuminati and the Yids are both masters at manipulating the weather for their insidious ends).
The weather manipulation has already been soft revealed so that might not of had the saszing that you were looking for. I heard that the Ayatollah’s son wanted him out of the way as he is a natural successor to power. I don’t know if any of that lines up with reality and i didn’t seek additional information on that at this particular juncture.
go away
I don’t have any idea what happened but I don’t know why you’d manipulate the weather for nefarious ends when you could just manipulate the helicopter.
Common sense is not that common, GA.
It used to be but it’s a misnomer now.
The ICC, while not entirely Islamic, is run by the scofflaws, scallywags, scumbags and sociopaths who kowtow to the Beast. If you are looking to the Lord Jesus Christ, start to know who you’re following here. It is pure evil. I’m not saying Israel is pure, but in the contest of who is on the side of right in the war initiated by Islam, Israel is the right side.
– Unc Abe
It must be weird to be so certain and also be so wrong.
The Beast System is coming from the Western PTB. You really should pay attention (and stop swallowing all the MSM lies).
And the Muslims run Hollywood too – or is it the Chinese?
And the Mob runs the world, Irish and Italians according to the Manson chick.
Now, JAZ! We all know who runs Hollywood and its decades-long crusade to degrade humanity away from Godliness.
The truth being unpleasant makes it neither false nor insignificant.
Isa 5:20-24
(20) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
(21) Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!
(22) Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
(23) who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!
(24) Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
JAZ, you keep saying that WEF is against Israel and Bibi … against all admissible evidence.
See, you keep pretending that all the Deep State billions given to Bibi doesn’t matter while of course it does!
Your little hawk brain suffers cognizant dissonance because you hate WEF but love Israel when, actually, they’re obviously one and the same.
OG, I think you better go back and actually read some of my posts.
WEF vs, BRICS++, my post.
BRICS++ 1, WEF 1. My post.
The WEF is going to against BRICS++ after they both finish off the USA. My post
The USA will be a vassal to the WEF under the NWO. My post.
The WEF will face BRICS++ in Europe as Islam takes over.
WEF 1? Israel when they kick ass over the BRICS++ led Iran led proxies.
Israel is European, it is West, it is an enemy of BRICS++.
Don’t you think it is a little ironic that the West under the auspices of the WEF is rapidly, not slowly turning into a dark Muslim continent and the only thing resembling Christian Europe may be Israel? And maybe Russia? In the future.
As I am the same age as your dad, I probably will not see this pass, but you might. And my daughter, my grandson and great grandson.
Well, Mr. Expert on everything,
Who killed the Iranian president and his group?
Accident? Lousy maintenance on an old helicopter? The USA? Israel?
I read a report that said that 50% of Iran is in mourning and 50% are ecstatic.
I’m not an expert on everything, JAZ. Far from it, in fact, as I merely logically seek the truth.
I don’t know who (if anyone) killed Raisi and his group.
***
Accident? Perhaps.
Lousy maintenance on an old helicopter? I doubt that.
The USA? Israel? You repeat yourself.
Adding: Other Iranians?
Yeah, your last>
Iran is 50% wanting to be secular.

Not as grim as that, JAZ. At least not yet.
Finland, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Belarus, aren’t having anything to do with the Dark Wave.
And Nationalism is making inroads in the infested countries, as well, meaning possible curtailment, then immigration freeze, then expulsion. One can hope.
@Soul Forensics
If only Western Europe would kick them out. Italy would be a good start, Germany as well. But I feel those places are lost since they are part of Nato/UN/EU
The first two are hard pressed by the Wave. Poland is floundering now. Hungary? Orban was recently in India looking to bring in thousands of Indian IT workers. All legal, so no problem. Legality and morality being the same thing according to our Scottish soothsayer.
@Jarek
This is why I don’t want to hear about Europe anymore, eventually they all fucking give in and cave. None of them are 100% loyal to their own people. So far the only countries I don’t see doing this shit are Asian countries. How many Asian countries desperately need people from elsewhere? How many of them are looking for outsiders to move into their nation? I can see Japan caving in the future but everywhere else no. I just never understood why they have to bring people in vs encouraging their own fucking people to do these jobs. But whatever…That’s why I have no desire to visit Europe, EVER. Too cucked for my taste, and all their leaders are frauds.
@Jarek
Orban reminds me of Georgina, pound his chest, pretend to be tough, then turn into a little bitch and throw open their borders after they get tired playing the tough guy/girl role. It’s so much easier to roll over, surrender, give up your nations sovereignty vs defending it. How hard is it to encourage your own people to build up your nation, instead they need foreign people to move in and do this. It just shows the lack of backbone many of these fake fraudulent leaders have.
Yes, Orban has been lauded by the conservative world. As long as you control your borders from gate crashers, somehow Capitalist betrayal is alright?
I don’t know all the details or where it stands. But the proposal was for a lot of people. Temporary visas? They invariably turn into something permanent.
I’m still confused, JAZ.
In your opinion, is WEF for or against Israel?
You claim that WEF is probably behind ICC bringing charges against Bibi while the US Deep State (aka WEF) sends Bibi billions.
Why, in your opinion, is WEF acting both for and against Bibi?
Maybe because it favors the West and is trying to stabilize the ME (oil) and at the same time has so many Muslims around it sways their opinion about Israel. Sorta like the USA. Split personality?
You’re grasping at straws, John.
The WEF has no split-personality. The WEF supports Israel and Pfizer unequivocally.
Maybe you are dead wrong in accusing WEF of running ICC and their war crimes charges against Bibi and Gallant.
Maybe like 100%.
To make sense of the nonsense, like Dalio described about transition periods in China, one needs to realize that there are many factions vying for power.
In addition to the WEF and BRICS++, there is Xi, the 2030 Agenda, the NWO, no doubt some others, and then various factions within each of those.

Is Joe Biden implementing the 2030 Agenda?
Copilot
Certainly! President Joe Biden is committed to implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development both domestically and globally. Let’s explore how his administration is addressing this critical agenda:
Domestic Commitments:
Reducing Emissions: In April 2021, President Biden set a new national goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to 52% from 2005 levels by 2030. This commitment is part of the updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement12.
Infrastructure Investments: President Biden is rebuilding the American economy from the bottom up and middle out. His administration is making historic investments in infrastructure, climate initiatives, and the well-being of American families3.
Global Engagement:
The United States remains committed to the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide.
As the world’s largest bilateral donor of official development assistance, the U.S. supports developing countries in areas such as inclusive growth, infrastructure, education, health, and food security.
President Biden champions an ambitious agenda to mobilize significant additional financing for development from all sources—public and private, domestic and international34.
In summary, President Biden’s administration is actively working toward achieving the 2030 Agenda by addressing climate change, investing in infrastructure, and promoting global development.

Is Macron implementing the 2030 Agenda, or the WEF Great Reset?
Copilot
Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, has not explicitly stated that he is implementing either the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development or the World Economic Forum (WEF) Great Reset. However, let’s explore these concepts and Macron’s actions:
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:
The 2030 Agenda, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at addressing global challenges by 2030.
These goals cover various areas, including poverty eradication, gender equality, climate action, education, and economic growth.
While France, as a member of the UN, is committed to the SDGs, it’s essential to assess specific policies and actions taken by the French government to determine their alignment with the agenda1.
WEF Great Reset:
The Great Reset initiative, proposed by Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, seeks to transform the global economy and society.
It emphasizes fairer market outcomes, stakeholder capitalism, and environmental sustainability.
Macron has not explicitly endorsed the Great Reset, but his policies related to economic reforms, innovation, and social cohesion may align with some of its principles2.
Macron’s Reforms:
Macron has advocated for liberal reforms to boost the French economy, emphasizing the need for innovation and productivity.
His administration has focused on labor market reforms, education, and technology-driven growth2.
In summary, while Macron’s policies may not directly mirror either the 2030 Agenda or the WEF Great Reset, his actions can contribute to broader goals related to sustainable development and economic transformation.

Does Xi intend for China to rule the world?
Copilot
Xi Jinping, the paramount leader of China, has a vision for China’s role in the world, but it is essential to understand that his intentions are multifaceted and nuanced. Let’s explore some key aspects of Xi’s vision:
National Rejuvenation:
At the core of Xi’s vision is the concept of “China Dream of national rejuvenation” by 2050.
He aims to restore China’s historical greatness and elevate it to a position of global prominence1.
Two Key Visions:
“One Country, One People, One Ideology, One Party, and One Leader”:
Xi envisions a unified China where every citizen submits to the greater good of the country as interpreted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
He emphasizes resolute defense of China’s honor and territorial integrity, including a forceful approach to peripheral regions and potential use of force to reclaim territories like Taiwan1.
Xi’s ideology also promotes a politicized national identity, where Chinese heritage and culture are inseparable from loyalty to the CCP and its leadership.
China as an Equal Player in the World:
Xi insists that China be seen as at least an equal participant in defining global rules.
He seeks to reshape the world order, asserting China’s influence and challenging the dominance of the United States2.
Not Necessarily Global Hegemony:
While Xi does not intend for China to directly replace the U.S. as the global hegemon, he does aim for China to displace Washington as the preeminent power and assert its leadership1.
His vision is more about China’s rightful place on the world stage rather than outright domination3.
In summary, Xi Jinping’s vision for China involves both national rejuvenation and a desire for China to play a significant role in shaping global affairs. Whether this translates into ruling the world depends on various factors, including geopolitical dynamics and international cooperation.
********
To make sense of “Joe Biden’s” actions, one needs to realize that his mode of operation is appeasement and purchasing peace, which is why he appears to be talking out of both sides of his mouth on some issues.
Viewing factions vying for power from Xi’s perspective, if I were Xi, I would much prefer a world of nations with a complacent 2030 Agenda population, than the polarization that currently exists.
I am guessing that it could be argued that the US deep state, BiBi, and a faction of the WEF interests more or less align.
Co-pilot doesn’t know that it is CPC, not CCP?
That’s pretty basic. Therefore, I would safely suggest that it’s pronouncements are equally suspect.
Wikipedia Abbreviation CCP (common), CPC (official)

Uncle Abraham said, “As far as I’m concerned, however I have no problem with assassinating the Supreme Leader of Iran, who has been directing wars, along with his predecessor, against the US and Israel since 1979.
Do you? Whose side are you on? As if you haven’t made it clear enough already, but now’s your chance to declare it openly.”
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world [ system ] is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world [ system ] is the enemy of God.”
I declare: I am against war. Their leaders lie to them [ misdirection ] just like our leaders lie to us. None are innocent. I will not support the bloodthirsty in their calling. I’m not picking a “side”.
No man is an island,

In not picking a side, you have picked a side. You stand with Islam because you’re one in heart.
I am on God’s side. He is for Israel, not against. They are not bloodthirsty, though they are in need of correction. God will correct Israel, and then those agents of evil used in their correction will also be corrected.
Your self-righteous posturing is a stench in God’s nose. You neither understand the Scriptures nor divide the Word rightly. You pollute, not salute. You are a god unto yourself.
I didn’t say God is against Israel. I say the zionists are not Israel. I am trying to make you aware of God’s definition of Israel [ from the NT ] which leads to other considerations.
What if it isn’t the fulfillment of Bible prophecies regarding the regathering of the house of Israel?
No one can understand the Zionist state without first knowing the history of Esau, whose descendants were known as Edomites. There are many prophecies about Edom (or Idumea) about his desire to return to the land that he lost to Jacob.
These prophecies are almost entirely ignored or forgotten, because there is no longer any nation known as Edom. It disappeared after the Edomites were conquered by Judah in 126 B.C. at which time the Edomites were converted to Judaism. Since that merger, the Jews have had >>>> two streams of prophecy <<<< to fulfill.
Do you think the Persians are ignorant of Idumea? Most whites are unaware of the Caucuses.
“After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the officials of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me: behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of the Lord! One basket had very good figs, like first-ripe figs; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten due to rottenness.“
“But like the bad figs which cannot be eaten due to rottenness—indeed, thus says the Lord—so I will abandon Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and the ones who dwell in the land of Egypt. And I will make them a terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse in all places where I shall scatter them. And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence upon them until they are destroyed from the land which I gave to them and to their forefathers.”
The story is not told in judeo-christian circles.

So now you are ignoring the 10 lost tribes? If not, I count three streams of prophecy. Or 13 if each of the 10 get their own stream.
“Wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans; while the ten tribes are beyond Euphrates till now; and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers” (Antiquities of the Jews, XI, v, 2).
The issue I am trying to present to Uncle Abraham is, simply to call things by their right names. Not ignoring anyone [ ? ].

Don’t you think it is a little ironic that the West under the auspices of the WEF is rapidly, not slowly turning into a dark Muslim continent and the only thing resembling Christian Europe may be Israel?
– JAZ
WEF is destroying the West to cause complete mayhem. After complete mayhem, they will then roll-out their long-planned totalitarianism.
Where’s the irony?
Agreed.
I think about it, how?
First, get the liberal socialistic Deep State to capitulate to the WEF. How? Convert the national government to socialism, flood the country with immigrants that are from socialist countries, drop the petrodollar, limit US Navy access to ports, create limited wars to drain US coffers, influence US elections to finalize the uniparty, fuse the WEF into the EU, convert Europe to Islam. All, IMHO, on WEF agenda.
The result? A European dictatorship.
Problem is it has been tried in the past. One of the primary causes of WW1 was the alliances all across Europe. Eventually, nationalism arises and the fun begins.
Remember Babel, God’s response to Man thinking he is supreme.
Where’s the irony?
Expand on irony, pls.
Don’t you think it is a little ironic that the West under the auspices of the WEF is rapidly, not slowly turning into a dark Muslim continent and the only thing resembling Christian Europe may be Israel?
They are your words, JAZ.
I do not see the WEF manufacturing global mayhem to then roll-out complete totalitarianism as “a little ironic.”
Please explain the irony that I’m missing.

BTW – Bibi’s murderous Israel is nothing like Christian Europe.
The irony is that the outfit (EU plus WEF) that is supposed to be maintaining the identity of the European ethnicity and culture is allowing the takeover of Europe by the North Africans and Middle East, India too.

OMG OG I logged on today to express my frustration at once again trying to do some research on a pet topic of mine, only to discover it extremely difficult to verify any facts due to so much online having been contaminated by wokist revisionism.
I swear it grows worse by the day.
Anyway, I saw your post here, and that got me thinking about the fall of the Roman Empire, and when I went to refresh my memory about the barbarian hordes, I found that the Barbarian Invasions are now being referred to as “the Migration Period”. I kid you not.
It is getting so I can’t look anything at all up, even a simple dictionary definition, without seeing that the globalists have been at it.
Aiee!
It’s scary, for sure.
Get yourself an old Encyclopaedia Britannica full set to pass down while they still exist. Digitization will be the downfall of all knowledge eventually.
Think about the digitation of the library system. The PTB will control what is taught totally.’’They already do, actually but digitation will make the job easier.
You got that right, JAZ!
(Britannica apparently stopped printing hard copies in 2009)
Get pre-1902 if you can.
Okay, I’ll bite. Why 1902? (besides the novelty of how much has changed worldwide since then?)
I was looking at a 1992 set just now (for my boy someday). Don’t have a university endowment-sized budget to buy up each edition to spot the differences though…
Its probably more realistic to say pre-Nuremberg because of availability, these old books are being snatched up because of what they contain.

@MrMango
Back in the 1990s, when I wanted to learn more about events in Yugoslavia, I consulted the Encyclopedia Britannica (at one of our better suburban libraries).
Hardly an alternative, or “non-Western” publication.
And yet, THAT is where I read that, during WW2, the (Catholic) Croats, and the Croat Nazis (the Ustashe–who eagerly supported and assisted in the Final Solution) had the following plan for the (Orthodox) Serbs: Expel 1/3, Convert 1/3 (to Catholicism) and Kill the remaining 1/3.
In the Encyclopedia Britannica. I had the foresight to copy the whole thing.
Post-script: the US eagerly helped the Croats expel the Serbs from Krajina in 1995. The biggest flow of refugees in Europe since WW2.
As you say, people need to obtain, keep, and preserve PRINTED media (books, magazines, papers) and electronic media (DVDs, CDs).
I saw a couple of beautiful sets of encyclopedias, World Book plus Brittanica, at an estate sale.
I was so tempted, but believe me, my residence did not need one more thing in it at the time, and if you think you might need to move in the near future, you don’t want an excess of books.
That’s one thing I admired about the so-called hipsters. The book porn esthetic.
Beryl, I went ahead today and grabbed the 1992 Britannica full set. Got a great deal on eBay.
The problem you mentioned will come into play though (where the hell do I put 32 rather bulky leather-bound books?). But we’ll make it work. And hopefully my boy’s children someday will be able to know something about what happened in the real world before Skynet took over.
Funk and Wagnall’s, read them all the time as a kid.
I’ve got the full set of Britanica’s, yearbooks and Dictionary’s, also, plus the World book of Knowledge, and a set of childrens science volumes.
It was my Funk and Wagnall’s that won me a ticket to the rich people’s party in San Francisco, the Black and White Ball.
Damn, that was a good time.
But censorship started before the internet. The Funk and Wagnall’s that my parents bought in the 60s had an entry on the causes of WW1 that discussed imperialism and intercontinental rivalry.
The Funk and Wagnall’s that we bought in the 80s had an entry about the causes of WW1 that blamed it on Germany’s “inferiority complex”.
Seriously, dudes?
So, yeah. I believe Orwell wrote a book about the changing of history, way back in 1947.
It’s not really new.
It’s just that now we have the internet to give us unlimited information, and some of us notice when things we saw before have disappeared down the Memory Hole.
Just one of many important reasons to read books instead of relying on teh interwebz for your info.
Books used to be precious as gems, passed around during oppressive times from one to another, with entire passages memorized from them in case TPTW (the powers that were) apprehended the books’ owners and destroyed the books.
Books can be lost and seized, but unlike digital sources, can’t be edited, deleted (as by Amazon from your account), monitored, or erased.
But we have most people, even some people on this very discussion board, who pride themselves on not reading any books. “Too slow,” they say. What they really mean is that they have ADHD or they’re just lazy. Mostly, though, it’s just a function of our society, which is geared towards seducing everyone by quick and repeated dopamine hits via sensational headlines, bite-sized paragraphs, and unnuanced, out-of-context data. Never before have so many been so knowledgeable about so many things while simultaneously being so dumb and reflexive.
That’s all part of TPTB’s plans, as well. Why be afraid of getting exposed by incriminating, long, complex non-fiction or literature? They know that very few read it anyway.
Ummm … Digital delivery has pros & cons. So do books. D’uh.
Just because books have certain pros hardly makes them the better choice 100% of the time. D’uh.
[For example, wtf are you even doing here at CFN when you should be reading a book?]
Books are not nearly as timely as digital dissemination. D’uh.
People choose digital en masse for reasons far beyond ADHD and laziness. D’uh.
***
It’s funny, SF. If you could set aside your jealousy and petty animosity, you actually do have a good point buried under all your maliciousness.
“Digital delivery has pros & cons. So do books. D’uh.” — OG
As usual, and since I hurt your feelings, you’ve resorted to spazzing out in a reflexive, poorly thought out response.
Who’s arguing for the complete elimination of digital info? My point is quite simple: people now exclusively get their info, as well as their general knowledge — creative or factual — from the internet, which means, by obvious definition, that they don’t read books.
“Just because books have certain pros hardly makes them the better choice 100% of the time. D’uh.” — OG
Of course. But I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase, “garbage in, garbage out”. One needs to discriminate. You have to wade through an ocean of sludge before you get to much in the way of clear water in the digital deep.
There’s also the prevalent problem of fact-checking. Even with surface info, so-called simple ‘facts’, how often do you corroborate your interweb info with other sources, and, more importantly, from a backdrop of historical, political, or cultural knowledge? I remember having a discussion with you in which you revealed that you didn’t even know the rudimentary structures of the Canadian parliamentary system, yet you’ve lived here your entire life. In other words, it’s easy for any dubious, sensationalistic site owner to hoodwink you for clicks/ad revenue. The Dunning-Kruger effect often applies to you.
“wtf are you even doing here at CFN when you should be reading a book?]” — OG
Only a total either/or ignoramus would make such a taunt. If you haven’t noticed, I’m rarely on CFN comment streams. Before last night, I hadn’t been on in a week, and there are often times when I’ll take a month or three off completely, as well. You, OTOH, are here constantly, and your level of discussion is almost entirely facile and obnoxious. You’re an intellectual lightweight. I wonder what books you actually read until 60. It had to be equally lightweight or inconsequential.
“Books are not nearly as timely as digital dissemination. D’uh.” — OG
Correct. And therein lies the problem. Shit happens in the news. Sixteen conflicting reports are immediately made (usually sensationalistic ones, for clicks), and you go with the one or two that fits your pre-existing bias.
I’m not nearly as interested in feverishly attempting to keep up with the 24/7 news cycle. It’s much better to wait a few days, weeks, or months (depending on the severity and depth of the unique event), and then weigh in, with better proportion and perspective.
Most people generally don’t remember more than 2-3 phone numbers anymore without their smart phone. I knew dozens by heart as a kid. Not so much these days.
Nor do most feel confident in finding a location even slightly out of their daily routines without Maps guiding the way.
And the kicker is (I think) most people, especially those younger than 35 or 40, think we are actually smarter than our forebears because we can look up any fact in two seconds. We are definitely much dumber overall for the digital conveniences.
At Easter dinner, I spoke once again with a brilliant university math professor.
“So, are the kids today smarter or dumber?”
“Oh! Dumber! Not even close!”
He then told of kids lost on their devices during class and the constant dumbing-down of the class material and testing lest everyone fail the math that we did a few decades ago to attain that credit.
OG
The instructors at all levels are getting dumber. It is a snowball rolling downhill.
Could it be the google crowd is storing the “knowledge of Man” before it is lost?
I have friends and family members in teaching (high school and college level) that completely agree.
“He then told of kids lost on their devices during class and the constant dumbing-down of the class material.” — OG
Yet I remember you boasting on here about half a year ago saying you don’t read books, and get all your info from the web.
Hypocrite.
I can remember when phone numbers had 5 digits plus two letters.
The cell phone thing has been a problem for awhile.
Back when I worked in ER, we would get college kids who had crashed their cars, and were brought in on stretchers by EMS.
When I would ask them what their parents phone number was, they never knew, since their parents had usually ditched their landlines, and the kid’s cell phone that had their new numbers saved, would invariably be in the car.
I was noticing yesterday, that kids walking home from school walk at a much slower pace than we did when I was in high school.
The reason is that so many of them are looking down at their phones, so they plod slowly, so as not to trip, because they aren’t looking where they are going.
@Beryl
Interesting observation.
Today on Drudge, they have a link to an article saying “the internet is disappearing”. “40% of pages in 2013 are no longer available.”
Have you read 1984? The hero, Winston Smith, works in the Ministry of Truth.
His job is keep history up to date. For example, Oceania (Winston’s country) is at war with East Asia. Then that war ends, and Oceania is now ALLIED with East Asia, and they are at war with Eurasia.
Winston goes “back” and modifies any remaining newspapers or books, to make them show that “Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia”.
My point being that, the lack of historical knowledge in general, combined with the demise of books (“I just get the on-line edition) and media in general (DVDs, videotapes) means that is increasingly easier for the PTB to alter the narrative and “change history”.
Your comment just feeds into that.
Printed material, and media are important.
That reminds me of another thought I had the other day, when I was bemoaning the fact that teacher college and medical and law schools have all been captured – God only knows what they teach for library science these days!
I’ve been complaining about libraries becoming hotbeds of woke, especially during covid, but it only just occurred to me that the curriculum for that degree is probably infested as well.
Ministries of Truth. We are so screwed.
Our brains are being rewired neuronally by the media we choose to consume. The problem, at heart, is with us, not the digital devices.
People are afraid of the tsunami wave of AI, but our brains are already transitioning into AI-like functions, with a consequent coarsening of feelings and lack of depth.
People are afraid of the tsunami wave of AI,
butin fact, our brains are already transitioning into AI-like functions, with a consequent coarsening of feelings and lack of depth.The fiends in charge seem to have settled on “bird flu” as the next “pandemic”.
Remember that bird flu was one of the three viruses “scientists” were working on making more lethal, back in 2014, when Obama put a temporary moratorium on researching them in the US, and Fauci moved the research to Wuhan. (The other two being SARS and MERS.)
It didn’t take much propaganda to make Americans confidently proclaim that coronaviruses were “known for being” easily mutable, although that was not the truth. But if people hear a lie repeated enough, they believe it.
So I am posting this here for people to bookmark for later, when they spread the bird flu they have been working on, and they tell everyone that bird flu has “always” been easily transmissible to animals.
Because they will do that. We already saw it with covid.
“The risk of humans contracting avian flu is very low, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Scientists say bird flu is not easily transmitted from birds to humans.”
“4. If a person gets “bird flu,” can he or she give it easily to other human beings?
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sustained transmission of avian influenza from human to human has NOT occurred. ”
“Avian flu is not a foodborne illness, which means you cannot contract it from eating poultry that has been cooked properly.”
I got this from this link: .nationalchickencouncil.org/bird-flu-its-not-in-your-food/questions-and-answers-on-avian-influenza/
which I got from following this link:
://brownstone.org/articles/is-avian-flu-anything-to-fear/
which I got from this link:
//childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/united-states-bankrolling-creation-deadlier-contagious-bird-flu-strains/
which explains how the Fauci fiends have been working for years on making viruses more lethal.
They are using ferrets again. Good times.
This time they are leaving out bats and pangolins.
This is all blatantly illegal, as well as pathologically immoral.
You would think that people would be outraged that this is going on, and extremely angry that they are paying psychopaths to create diseases to overcome the human immune system.
You would be wrong. People are already onto the Next Thing, and seem unfazed by gain-of-function biowarfare experimentation, and the WHO treaty that will force them to be a part of it.
And the Russian revelations of what they found in the biological warfare labs that the US was running in Ukraine have been completely ignored by the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda.
“Someone would talk” is complete bullshit, as we see from the refusal of msm to report on what Russia talks about.
There is a conceit among some people that “Only the smartest humans survived” in previous days, (usually voiced when decrying medical care for all.)
Actually, smart humans were just as liable as stupid humans to succumb to disease at an early age, back in those days.
Who actually survived were those with robust immune systems,
so that is what our overlords are working on overcoming.
They already know that most humans are Too Stupid To Live, as long as the propaganda machine is working properly.
The WHO is once again recommending the use of masks, even though their own studies showed they didn’t work.
I saw a commenter on that bring up the review of 1100 articles that showed face masks did nothing, and a commenter on that comment actually said that only fools would “look to those studies as a reason to discard common sense”.
x.com/orbitroute/status/1792739956613321003
That’s what we are up against. The mightily brainwashed who heard “commonsense” propaganda and that’s all they needed to hear, and no amount of evidence will disabuse them of their conceit.
Speaking of Fauci, this was exceedingly clever of someone on RFK Jr.’s team:
x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1792248193503097027
Both medicine and the government are stuck. They have convinced Joe average that they can solve all their problems. Now they have to produce anytime a problem, like the “pandemic”. it makes no difference to Joe Average if studies say “it ain’t so”, if the doctor and the government says it is so, by golly, it is so.
People will do what they say because there is nothing else. Fauci could have said that standing on one foot for 4 hours a day would prevent covid transmission. The USA would have looked awfully stupid for four hours a day.
The only use of masks is to stop droplet transmission, not airborne. Walk into a room where covid is at saturation and voila, you have got it. Mask or no mask. People who have got it, wear a mask to block your coughs and sneezes, Don’t have it? Forget the masks, worthless.
I think about the state of viral research. Fauci said, wear masks, keep six feet apart, do not take anti-virals, wash your hands often. That is it, billions of dollars spent and all we get is centuries old advice.
And I recall in early March 2020, Fauci stated publicly, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.”
I had been reading about the Wuhan virus and stocking up on supplies for two months by that time, so I already wasn’t expecting much truth.
What made it completely clear to me though was when the CDC put out its list of things to do to stay safe. Not one of them was traditional centuries (or at least decades)-old common sense human knowledge on general health. No mention of Vitamins C and D3, sunlight, fresh air, exercise, healthy diet, or socialization. Only masks, stay away from other people, stay inside, take your shots (when they became available), order in your meals, and stay home if you have a cold (the only reasonable one in the list).
“Fact-checkers” now call his quote “an outdated video” from early on, before they had all the “facts”.
You don’t seem to be grasping the magnitude of their crime.
I made this post before I read yours, Beryl, but it occurs to me that we were talking about the same thing.
When they rolled out SARS-2 (and called it a “novel virus”, even though it was literally named TWO), is when they changed the internet to say that “corona viruses are known to be especially mutable”, although up until 2020, they had said they were “stable”, at least as far as viruses go.
I remember spending an hour one time trying to find pre-2020 information to educate Islander, who bought that particular narrative hook, line and sinker, and kept insisting that “everybody knows” that corona viruses are extremely mutable.
When I finally found a non-scrubbed 2018 paper on corona viruses, I thought that she would realize that they were now lying through their teeth, but unfortunately, she clung to the post-2020 “truth”.
Anyway, I agree with you that the scrubbing of the internet is obvious, and concerning.
Even when I can remember something I read before, and I put every code word into the search engine, it always spews out irrelevant propaganda.
Very Annoying.
If the ICC wants to gain any credibility, they should put out an arrest warrant for one Anthony Fauchi, and do humanity a favor.

Junior says the money is for this:
On April 14, 1999, Judge Paul L. Friedman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia approved a settlement agreement and consent decree in Pigford v. Glickman, a class action discrimination suit between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and black farmers. The suit claimed that the agency had discriminated against black farmers on the basis of race and failed to investigate or properly respond to complaints from 1983 to 1997. The deadline for submitting a claim as a class member was September 12, 2000. Cumulative data show that as of December 31, 2011, 15,645 (69%) of the 22,721 eligible class members had final adjudications approved under the Track A process, and 104 (62%) prevailed in the Track B process for a total cost of approximately $1.06 billion in cash relief, tax payments, and debt relief.
Many voiced concern over the structure of the settlement agreement, the large number of applicants who filed late, and reported deficiencies in representation by class counsel. A provision in the 2008 farm bill (P.L. 110-246) permitted any claimant who had submitted a late-filing request under Pigford and who had not previously obtained a determination on the merits of his or her claim to petition in federal court to obtain such a determination. A maximum of $100 million in mandatory spending was made available for payment of these claims, and the multiple claims that were subsequently filed were consolidated into a single case, In re Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation (commonly referred to as Pigford II).
On February 18, 2010, Attorney General Holder and Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack announced a $1.25 billion settlement of these Pigford II claims. However, because only $100 million was made available in the 2008 farm bill, the Pigford II settlement was contingent upon congressional approval of an additional $1.15 billion in funding. After a series of failed attempts to appropriate funds for the settlement agreement, the Senate passed the Claims Resolution Act of 2010 (H.R. 4783) to provide the $1.15 billion appropriation by unanimous consent on November 19, 2010. The Senate bill was then passed by the House on November 30 and signed by the President on December 8 (P.L. 111-291).

Without commenting on the merits of that Pigford case, and judging from those involved it doesn’t have any (oops I just commented on the merits), RFK has a point -“This is a return of stolen property, not an entitlement. Black [sic] farmers won a class action discrimination lawsuit and were awarded damages”
Nowhere does he say anything about reparations. That doesn’t mean he isn’t in favor of reparations. Which he is.
Not that it will change anything, as the machine oils itself, but Klaus Schwab has finally announced he’s stepping down from being executive chairman of the WEF.
They seem to be changing a lot of old faces before the next assault.

Does he have a rising son, like George Soros?
There’s a name (no relation) mentioned in the article. Can’t remember it but it sounds as if he’s likely to be the successor. Norwegian, I think? I guess Tony Blair would be a poisoned chalice. He’s already hated as much as Schwab. All Schwab’s kids have positions in the organisation, though, apparently.
GA
Have you ever seen the movie “Sum of All Fears” or read the book by Tom Clancy.
I am not suggesting the read, but in them, Clancy was a semi-prophet, wrote a plot that had a CIA agent tracking down a plot by a German Neo-Nazi who tried to get Russia and the USA to fight each other and his organization to take over after the war. Ol’ Schwabie has always reminded me of this guy. Only he gets his way with buying out everyone, not war. He undermines societies with lots of help from Soros, Rothschild, Rockefeller, etc.
Yet I remember you boasting on here about half a year ago saying you don’t read books, and get all your info from the web.
Hypocrite.
– Soul Forensics
Huh? Honestly revealing that not reading books on an intellectual blog is “boasting”? Sounds mote like an admission to me. [Regardless, I’m retired and will spend my retirement as I like, thank you very much.]
I am simply reporting what the university professor said. I then compared the math that my generation did in the 1980s vis-à-vis what the kids do today for the same credit.
AND I stopped reading books (more or less) and get all my info online today, in 2024, months away from my 60th birthday.
All is true. No preaching. Where’s my hypocrisy? Or do you not even understand what hypocrisy means?
***
It’s funny. I was just thinking this morning how cool it was that we simply leave each other alone now, SF.
Why don’t you try again telling a 22-year Bay-Street vet what Bay Street’s like (even though you’ve never been there and have no clue what happens there!)?
***
Nothing’s funnier than a 80th percentile wanting to joust with a 95er.
If you did read books you would discover that publishing is another field that has been captured by wokeist commies.
You could be reading fiction and there would still be a slam at President Trump.
I think some of that stuff has been added just prior to publication, as a condition for getting published.
It’s very hard for me to resume my old reading habit. You can get very rusty.
Also I have a nagging fear that while I’m indulging my habit, I could be missing something that “they” are up to, which spoils my concentration.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Trump disses in modern fiction. It had never occurred but of course.

SF thinks in absolutes while the rest of us understand that an old guy researching current events on his laptop is not the same as a 20 year-old taking second-year university calculus.
SF is an intellectual wannabe with a jealousy streak a mile long. Sad but true.
I feel your pain, Beryl.
From the time I was a kid, I was an inveterate reader. I even walked home from school very slowly, with my nose in a book, just like the kids nowadays with their phones.
But now I can’t keep my attention on a book. I’m off to check what is happening now instead, on the internet.
It’s a bit scary how addicting it is.
There you go, SF: Beryl, Paula, my Mom, my Dad and I. Now you have heard of five people experiencing the very phenomenon that you reported earlier. Apparently, all you had to do was ask.
***
You reported the phenomenon but then denied its existence because your jealousy of me overrides your logical faculties.
Jealousy is a horrible existence. If you must compare yourself to others in order to affirm self-worth, look down and feel superior rather than punching up and getting the shit kicked out of you.
80th percentile? And yet you also know secret things about your opponent. More hypocrisy.
I don’t believe you re stopping reading nearing your 60th birthday. Especially at retirement when you have more free time. Reading books, as anyone who does a lot of it will tell you, is a lifelong joy that only increases and deepens as one grows older. I’ve yet to hear of anyone “stopping reading books” after spending long hours involved in that endeavor. Or I suppose I could imagine it if you were just a cultural dilletante.
Ummm … being wrong is not hypocrisy. SF. You really should know what hypocrisy means if you’re going to try and use it as an insult. D’uh.
And, judging by your performance here of CFN, I’ll stick with my 80th percentile estimate of your standing.
Note: I’ve since Googled IQ percentiles and was surprised to discover that my measured 154 IQ actually puts me in the 99th percentile. My perception was skewed, I guess, on account of so many high-IQers gravitating to Bay Street. [You have heard of Bay Street, right little brain?]
***
I read tons of books decades ago and now I have a Robertson Davies’ that I read a page or two each defecation.
I don’t care what you’ve heard, SF. In fact, I don’t even know what you’re beaking on about. Are you saying that I’m lying that I read a lot of books years ago but don’t anymore?
If so, why? What possible motivation would I have for such a bizarre lie?
***
Our brains are being rewired neuronally by the media we choose to consume.
I’ve yet to hear of anyone “stopping reading books” after spending long hours involved in that endeavor.
I shit you not. Dumber than dirt but chomping at the bit.
***
It’s like you telling me what Bay Street is like even though I had a 22-year career there and you’ve never been!
You are so confident that you absolutely know when you’re head’s up your butt. Again.
Nothing but schoolyard spazz-out.
A page or two of Robertson Davies while taking a shit. LOL!
Right. [The Maticore.] Because I’ve stopped reading books. Just like I said. Because I’m being affected by the phenomenon that you reported. Just like I said.
Where’s the hypocrisy? You levelled the accusation, explain yourself.
***
Now. Tells us how you could possibly know Bay Street better than I, little brain.
*The Manticore
Fifth Business, The Manticore and Worlds of Wonder are Davies’ brilliant Deptford Trilogy.
I was introduced to Davies in my first year of university (1983). Deptford is my favourite by him. I’ve read each novel several times.
His concept of “psychological editing” in Fifth Business kind of blew my head back in my late teens.

SF, just because you have never heard of anyone anything hardly means more than any other anecdote. There are over eight billion of us, after all.
OG says:
“my measured 154 IQ actually puts me in the 99th percentile.”
I believe it makes you open to all sorts of crazy conspiracy shit.
Measured IQ doesn’t mean shit. The smartest person in the world may live in a mud hut somewhere and not even know how to read. I’ve taken IQ tests. Mostly the were some sort of spatial relationship tests or what if this, then that follows this then what is next, long lists of numbers and recall. . Not really useful in the real world but I will admit I always kicked butt on that spatial shit and am quite a wiz in fixing mechanical things because of it. I was always placed in the advance classes in school but I was a pain in the ass and was constantly arguing with the teachers. Once I learned how to read and got a good set of encyclopedias it was off to the races for me. Reading comprehension and retention also plays a huge roll but what if one can’t read? Does that mean they are not intelligent. Obviously not.
Agreed.
… what if this, then that follows this then what is next, long lists of numbers and recall. . Not really useful in the real world …
This bit is incorrect, Elmo. For example, I used those very skills, at an elite level, to engineer Canada’s best Equity Research Data Acquisition and Publishing System thrice (1992, 2000 & 2014).
I grossed over $6,000,000 during that time using those skills – in the real world.
I think the spatial relationship tests were different than the IQ tests, which seem to measure reading comprehension and math skills.
I know that I suck, big time, at spatial relation tests, and also that I suck, big time, at fitting parts together in real life.
I am the opposite of a mechanical genius, but my IQ is in the top 2%. So I don’t think the spatial stuff counts, or I would have a much lower measured IQ.
I think they use different tests for non-readers. For instance, they told us that babies lost 20 IQ points during covid.
How did they measure that?
IQ is measured by three components: math, spatial relations, and reading comprehension and logic.
Stel mocks the idea but admits it predicts his mechanical ability. The Inuit have superb spatial relations that helped them find their way in the whited out world of the Artic. And sure enough, they proved to be good at mechanical things. Otherwise, not so bright.
I don’t doubt that Paula is very bright in one area, but she doesn’t know how to use it, so her verbal ability just ends up serving her passions and preconceptions. As the Ancients said, character must come first.
The Army used to use an IQ test called the ASVAB. Most Blacks couldn’t make the grade. Obviously this and every other criteria of qualification has been rolled back.
For instance, they told us that babies lost 20 IQ points during covid.
Well they all wore masks. so there is that! Lack of O2 will do that to ya. I know for a fact that If I did not chew on the lead window-sills when Momma left me home alone at three years old I’d be a Nucluerastrorocketmathaphysischemobrain surgeon wonderboy world class chef by now. And all that before breakfast on a Wednesday. Who wants eggs?
The reason babies lost IQ points is because other people wore masks, presumably including their parents. Babies are very dependent on facial signals and need to see people’s faces in order to develop cognitively.
I agree that is why babies lost IQ points. Human interaction is very important for intellectual and emotional development.
I was just pointing out that non-readers’ IQ can be measured, apparently, since they somehow determined that babies had been subjected to experimental dumbing down during 2020.
Saint had said that some illiterate person living in a mud hut could be very intelligent, but there was no way to test it, so I brought up the babies who were subjected to the cruelty of being raised without human interaction.
Read up a few entries. Beryl said she stopped and is trying to start up again.
SF is jealous and, when raging with his jealousy, facts do no matter to him. Whereas honourable men would simply state, “I stand corrected.” SF doubles- and triples-down becoming more and more unhinged fuming in his rage at his landing in the 80th percentile.
Most 80th percentiles are fine folks. Not SF, though.
Both of my parents, too, btw. They both read books a lot decades ago but now spend their retirement on their devices.
As I say, it was SF that reported the phenomenon earlier today but then he acts like he has never even heard of the phenomenon! Not exactly Einstein in concealing his corruption, eh?

Soul: There’s an old adage you might benefit from: Beware the man of few books. The Spartans read little but were know for their quick wit and lively intelligence. Many learned men were defeated by them in debate. Two of the seven sages of Greece were Spartans.
OG may fit this bill. Not cerebral in general. Far more interested in applied intelligence or practical application. Does that mean he isn’t really smart? No.
I never stopped reading books. But I don’t read as much as I used to – because of the internet. There is only so much time…..
Everything that is spoken about the decline of the U.S. reminds me of the Roman Empire collapsing. I sometimes wonder why those who run the U.S. today pretend like none of this can’t happen to them? Although at least the soldiers during the Roman Empire was willing to off the fuckers. They had about 22 Emperors all of them who were taken out by the very soldiers that propped them up. And that’s if any of this is accurate. I got it from the History.com website.
Decline and Disintegration
The decadence and incompetence of Commodus (180-192) brought the golden age of the Roman emperors to a disappointing end. His death at the hands of his own ministers sparked another period of civil war, from which Lucius Septimius Severus (193-211) emerged victorious. During the third century Rome suffered from a cycle of near-constant conflict. A total of 22 emperors took the throne, many of them meeting violent ends at the hands of the same soldiers who had propelled them to power. Meanwhile, threats from outside plagued the empire and depleted its riches, including continuing aggression from Germans and Parthians and raids by the Goths over the Aegean Sea.
The reign of Diocletian (284-305) temporarily restored peace and prosperity in Rome, but at a high cost to the unity of the empire. Diocletian divided power into the so-called tetrarchy (rule of four), sharing his title of Augustus (emperor) with Maximian. A pair of generals, Galerius and Constantius, were appointed as the assistants and chosen successors of Diocletian and Maximian; Diocletian and Galerius ruled the eastern Roman Empire, while Maximian and Constantius took power in the west.
The stability of this system suffered greatly after Diocletian and Maximian retired from office. Constantine (the son of Constantius) emerged from the ensuing power struggles as sole emperor of a reunified Rome in 324. He moved the Roman capital to the Greek city of Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople. At the Council of Nicaea in 325, Constantine made Christianity (once an obscure Jewish sect) Rome’s official religion.
Roman unity under Constantine proved illusory, and 30 years after his death the eastern and western empires were again divided. Despite its continuing battle against Persian forces, the eastern Roman Empire–later known as the Byzantine Empire–would remain largely intact for centuries to come. An entirely different story played out in the west, where the empire was wracked by internal conflict as well as threats from abroad–particularly from the Germanic tribes now established within the empire’s frontiers like the Vandals (their sack of Rome originated the phrase “vandalism”)–and was steadily losing money due to constant warfare.
Rome eventually collapsed under the weight of its own bloated empire, losing its provinces one by one: Britain around 410; Spain and northern Africa by 430. Attila and his brutal Huns invaded Gaul and Italy around 450, further shaking the foundations of the empire. In September 476, a Germanic prince named Odovacar won control of the Roman army in Italy. After deposing the last western emperor, Romulus Augustus, Odovacar’s troops proclaimed him king of Italy, bringing an ignoble end to the long, tumultuous history of ancient Rome. The fall of the Roman Empire was complete.
A country that dies from the outside can be rebuilt; a country that rots from within is dead forever.
Yes, that is why the BRICS++ folks are not having to be real belligerent, they sense the death of America soon.
A you tube post today claimed that a poll of Gen Z shows that to 50% of them, the American Dream is to get out of the USA, to expat. Nice.
I wonder.
What will fill the power vacuum left behind when the US “empire” collapses? The USA has been number one in the world since WW2. They say a light bulb burns brightest just before it burns out.
@JohnAZ
Generation-Z is fucking dumb if they think the rest of the world is any better than the U.S. it honestly isn’t. Where the hell are they going to run off to, Europe? Europe is being transformed into Africa/Middle East. Are they going to go to Asia? They have no interest in their woke liberal bullshit and are extremely strict about certain things. Canada? Even worse than America. UK? Don’t make me laugh. There is nowhere to run because the decline is happening all over the world, especially in the Western part of it.
They are going to find out that the same stuff happening here is happening everywhere else. Generation-Z is also too damn soft, they won’t even make it abroad.
@JohnAZ
Also it’s not good that people from here want to leave…We are stuck with a bunch of third world people who came from socialist hellholes they failed to rebuild. Now they are here doing the same to our country. Therefore, a nation losing it’s populace and being replaced by outsiders is not a sign of “good.” It’s actually the opposite. Not that Generation-Z ever did anything besides bitch about how offended they are about everything.
They are the recipients of a downturn in the world, a potential World Ending due to overpopulation and resource limitations. They are losing hope, looking for a “world” ordained solution that may not exist.
Right now, Biden and the Mob told them, we are the government and we will take care of you. They are discovering that the imbeciles and clowns in DC cannot take care of themselves let alone the people. We shall see what character building happens as they accommodate to a rapidly changing world and not for the better.
They are looking for a solution NOW. All these clownish protests accomplish nothing for them. Their first reaction is protest more and things will change.
But, one by one, they will learn the same lesson all of us have faced, that no one does anything for you except yourself.
And then the Democrat party will breathe its last.
Same with the immigrants when the government tit dries up, they will go home or have to do it on their own.
This GD government is about to run out of welfare capability. That will end the USA dominance as we have taken the poor of the world onto our back and will be incapable of taking care of everyone. Our government as well as the people must realize that individuality is what counted and dependence is evil.
The Capitalists think we should have to compete with desperate coolies from the 3rd world. Sure we can – by becoming desperate coolies as well.
This is the Capitalist ideal – a race to the bottom as they perfect machines to replace all humans.
Check out this video. Great energy and rage – with much vulgarity. I could hardly understand parts of it. Lad culture. This is what it’s going to take. The credible threat of violence. The Irish might make it. And hopefully inspire others to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiEz7jsZCbY
Not “dumb” but misinformed. Misinformed so as to make malleable. In Large matters uninformed.
They must be taught the difference between USA & America. America is the promise, US is the down payment, but here comes inflation [ theft through thorough tithing ] and the jig is up.
tom is speaking philosophically, the moon is waxing. Know your season. When did you careen into devastation? What are the poison fruits of your choices? Why are you lost in the desert? Thirsty and riddled with famine. The cost of your consequence is hunger by day while the hyenas hunt you by night. On your path to be crucified by truth.
Color is the crucifixion of Light. All things arise through choice and subsequent sacrifice. The Irish knew that their revolt had been betrayed by the British troop movements, but in terms of numbers and locations. They face long years of reorganizing. But Pearse said, No, we go forward. We need a blood sacrifice.
And just think. The visible spectrum is a very tiny portion of Light energy or particles. Light is both energy and particles. I bet there is a lot about it that we still don’t really know or understand.
I always pay attention at the mention of The Scourge of God. Everything is fancy dressed theory and cute thought bubbles until the Philistines bring down the walls with their battering rams. And the moment you regret inviting them in is one minute too late to stop fate. And thus you will be the winter wife of a reprobate. Many people simply don’t understand all that is in motion because they aren’t in touch with the ancestors and the memories. You’ll never know who you are if you don’t even know where you’ve been. And so the nation dies.

Norway, Ireland, and Spain recognize the Palestinian state. Oh alack a day! The Jews rejoiced at the destruction of Europe (whom they deem as Esau or “Rome”) via mass immigration and reveled in their role in it. But perhaps the Globalists were using them for their own purposes. This move helps cement Eurabia, the fusing of the two cultures, with Islam dominant, at least ostensibly. They thought they were destroying an enemy, but perhaps they were building up a mighty foe.
@Jarek
What does any of this even mean? Besides I thought Spain wanted no part of Islam. I know a Spanish guy who told me they’ve been fighting against Islam for a very long time and have kicked the religion out of their country. In other words, Islam stands no chance in conquering Spain. So elaborate some more on this post you made if you will or can.
Plus I think that Islam dominating Europe isn’t something you should be celebrating…Like what the fuck dude? This is actually sad. VERY sad. The fact that white people have no fight in themselves they are going to let some shit like Islam dominate their country….Even the Vietnamese had sense enough to defend Vietnam during an invasion. I’ve seen the footage, even their women were willing to protect the country. What are European women and men doing? Walking around in Hijabs and shit?
Sorry I’m having a rough morning, I couldn’t sleep. And I don’t feel like going out today either but I have to. It’s 5:30AM so I’m going to eat, then get dressed. Still Jarek I’m disappointing in that post you made. It sounded like you were rejoicing over the fact Europe is turning into the Middle East. I hate hearing about people losing their nations, especially like this. I also don’t see how they helped the Globalist. The Globalist are simply using these people so they can lord over a race of ignorant third worlders and people who are easier for them to control and manipulate.
Nothing could be further from the Truth. I rejoiced at the Irish possibly rising up and being an inspiration to the rest of Europe to do the same.
I did also rejoice – in a moment of schadenfreude – at the Tribe possibly outsmarting itself. So two different streams of thought.
Obviously I would choose the former but that doesn’t make me blind to the latter.
Good morning, all.
An example of the kind of thing that keeps me from getting a good night’s sleep, and keeps me from enjoying good literature:
“Oh my God
Armed FBI agents were preparing to confront Trump and even engage Secret Service if necessary.
They were going to go door to door to terrorize MAL guests and even pick the locks.
Gestapo”
x.com/julie_kelly2/status/1792970849861116080
There’s an argument about whether the authorization for use of deadly force is just a formality or not. This is the home of a former president and the raid was over pieces of paper; but whether it was pro forma or not, they were authorized to use deadly force against President Trump.
Biden says over and over,
“I am proud of my son.”
Like Vito said of Sonny.
Garland ordered the FBI raid, with its orders. Merrick has never gotten over his rejection for SCOTUS. In hindsight, thank goodness McConnell refused to allow him access. He is the source of the power grab by the Left in the capital. I wonder what his reaction will be when Trump is acquitted across the board.
The mentality of DC is not much different than Assad in Syria, or Hussein in Iraq, today.
I believe the Brownshirts were Nazi thugs who ran around beating up the opposition as Hitler took over control. The disorder that caused was one of the reasons Hitler used to take over.
Like the Soros insurgencies today. The WEF is aware of history and the Fourth Turning and are using it. The USA is modern day Germany.
Only sending $26 bil to Israel.
Perhaps the Nazis did exactly as was planned by the Illuminati before Operation Paperclip brought their brain power to the USA.
Perhaps the Illuminati see all people, including Jerry Seinfeld, as sacrificial to Baal.
Perhaps people closed-mindedly make an illogical brain rule: “Notwithstanding all evidence to the contrary, I will never believe that an evil cabal runs our world.”
You might as well add, “I believe in the Bible but wouldn’t recognize End Times if they were slapping me in the face.”
Of course John would add, pulling nuggets out of his butt, “God ordained Genocide?”
***
The Illuminati do not represent the Jews. The Illuminati are soldiering for Satan and they are continuing with their divide-and-conquer m.o.
We are all in this together.
Israel could be a wonderful place again. A host to all in Jerusalem.
But we have to apply JAZ’s words this morning about the evil US government that is posting mafioso-like threats to the ICC and sending $26 bil (that you don’t even have!) to Bibi.
WEF/Deep State/Bibi in cahoots.
Sad but true.
Yet the Jews let the Illuminati hide behind them – because it benefits them, or at least so they think. They did benefit in the past, but that may well be over now.
Their religion is deeply infused with this crap and has been for a very, very long time. So their utter confusion is not to be wondered at.
I remember seeing an agent with a machine gun tbe day of the raid……why would you ever need to do that?….with Hillary the FBI took her out for lunch for a much worse crime…..of course it’s communist thugs using the same playbook on anyone who steps out of line……they don’t care about optics just retribution
TS1986
Jarek is a socialist, a fascist socialist, TS. He actually believes that the government is there to take care of us. That the government is benevolent and is out for the good of the people.
Hahahahaha!
Government is the enemy of the people. Just listen to Biden talk about the opposing MAGA forces. He hates them. The government continuously fights the people, divides them to maintain control.
America became great, not because of the government, but by the industry of its people.
The movement of the world towards socialism is a mystery to me. Why would anyone push towards a system that has failed over and over and over again?
Your concern about the Islamic takeover of Europe is legit. Look at history.
Europe must have started by the schism of Cro-Magnon families and the continuing migration of other groups into the area. Like the Indians here, Neanderthals were the natives, The continent divided up in accordance with these groups. Rome tried to unify the area, but we know how that turned out. Medieval times tried to unify the area under the auspices of the church. That did not work.
What separates these countries? Language is number one. Customs are number two.
The Europeans have been duking it out for millenia. The twentieth century changed things, instead of little battles on little battlefields, war became the destruction of whole countries. The bombs in Japan sorta put a stamp on that.
So here comes Truman and the largely untouched USA. Trying to stop the carnage, and tada, the United Nations. First NATO, Then the Common Market, then the EU and the WEF. All globalist entities trying to stop war. Sounds wonderful.
The WEF and EU have tried to globalize Europe to break up the ethnocentritic centers. Just like the USA, you change things by overwhelming migration of new culture to overwhelm the current peoples. I wonder if the WEF and EU are not considering Islam as a “unifying” religion.
Except government is evil and bigger government is more evil. Jarek always talks about how government is needed to curb capitalism, that socialism is necessary to stop corporate greed and ascendency. He will never understand that government and its regulations are what causes crony capitalism and the greed that goes along with it.
A good example? EVs. They will be shoved down our throats by an idiotic government trying to exert control over something they do not understand. You talk about the Vaxx and the ignorance shown about it (myself included), how about the dictates and coercion over EVs.
Government is a collection of power people to exert more power. It is evil by its own existence and the corruption required to maintain it.
The Parties (uniparty today) are evil by definition as they jockey around vying for power.
The FF hated government but acknowledged the need for it. Even then, they were split over individuality versus government. Federalists believed in federal control and the republicans in people control. The Constitution was the compromise.
Government is the enemy of the people.
government is evil
Government is a collection of power people to exert more power. It is evil by its own existence and the corruption required to maintain it.
… except for Bibi, right?
Why would anyone push towards a system that has failed over and over and over again?
To be fair, every system has failed over and over throughout history. But some explode in more spectacular fashion, and quicker, especially in modern history.
John, after your saying of all that, I gotta ask:
Do you still believe, notwithstanding the USA’s evil government admittedly fucking earth up, that earth owes the USA gratitude?
Is the Chinese govt f#kkng earth up? Does China have an EPA?
I’m asking JAZ vis-à-vis his words of the USA, Heckler.
China is a red-herring in this discussion.
***
But, since you bring it up, worse, I fear. I believe that China (without a corrupt EPA) is now fore-closing on the bankrupt USA.
Hubris at its inevitable fall is always … entertaining.
Th prosperity of mid-20th century America was the result of government intervention and unionism. Capitalists must be made to be good. And they must be terrified of what might happen to them if they aren’t.
Your ignorance is simply off the charts. Your preferred policies will just make us into pale skinned coolies.
The prosperity of mid 20th century America was the result of our landmass being blessed with an abundance of natural resources and energy. We were prosperous in spite of our government and unionism. But those resources are depleting and the average US citizen is delusional and ignorant – as you are sometimes.
The Indians weren’t prosperous even though they live here.
You’re ignoring the human element. In contrast, I assumed the natural resources in my response.
America had natural resources and energy in the 19th century, also.
But the robber barons made sure that only they became prosperous from them, no matter how hard the average worker worked.
And the average worker worked 12 hours/day, 6 days/week, starting from when they were 5 or 6 years old, and ending when they died, which was usually pretty early, due to industrial dangers.
It wasn’t until they rose up that that the government put in the reforms that made the mid-20th century prosperous for the average person.
But the Empire has been striking back since the 80s. Hence, the increasing poverty and homelessness among the US public.
“Government is a collection of power people to exert more power. It is evil by its own existence and the corruption required to maintain it.”
Sounds like a corporation.
Bingo. John and Co are looking for some system that will obviate the need for morality. There is none. As Christ said, You are the salt of the earth. If you lose your savor, wherewith will anything be salted?
The good side of Capitalism is what Anthea said: Letting people be their own men. But the winners win and take over from the losers. Competition is not an unlimited good. The winner grows until we have what have today. How can such a be called good? It’s goodness passes away so easily – a feature not a bug.

It’s not reparations, for one thing, it is the proceeds of a lawsuit regarding loans to farmers.
Loans to farmers would be how all those farmers lost their farms in the 80s, Farm Aid notwithstanding.
It’s the modern banking form of sharecropping.
So it needs to be equitable, doncha know.
The US has had a law called FARA since the 30s, which says that foreign agents have to register.
Georgia (the country) recently passed a similar law, which the Mighty Wurlitzer calls “Russia Inspired”.
There are fewer than 4 million citizens of Georgia, but there are 25,000 NGOs, and most of them are 100% funded by the west.
The law doesn’t stop this, or ban them, it only says that the NGOs must declare who funds them.
This is too much for our ruling overlords.
US Congress critters are threatening to sanction any Georgian legislator who voted for the bill, including stopping them from traveling to Europe, (even to visit children in college there.)
Is this not blatant interference in another country’s internal business?
First the US funds these NGOs, which completely change the culture of the country (they are big on trannies, for instance), and then they threaten any lawmaker who tries to make the funding transparent.
And then they have the NERVE to accuse other countries of interfering in our elections!
They have been screaming about Russia giving Americans information our owners didn’t want us to have since 2016.
Never mind that that is a big, fat lie, why would having an informed electorate be a bad thing?
Just like calling Edward Snowden a “traitor” for giving information to the enemy (the American people), they accuse Russia of interfering by giving information that supposedly caused the newly informed Americans not to vote for the candidate our ruling overlords had chosen.
They are exposing themselves as openly and viciously hostile to we, the people, who they view as enemies.
Anyone should be able to see that, if they are capable of clear assessment of statements and motives.
From an article about how the NGOs worm their way into education. It sounds familiar to me.
“In practice, this plays out something like this: a major development aid agency or international lender, for example, USAID, the European Commission, or World Bank, has come up with a new model for education reform, which it now plans to roll out not just in Georgia, but typically in a whole host of countries. To give it a veneer of community participation, the aid agency contracts Georgian NGOs to do the everyday footwork: introduce this or that new way of doing things to officials, schools, and teachers and train them in the new skills they supposedly need. No one at this or any other point asks teachers, parents, students, or, for that matter, the electorate at large, what they need and want and how they would improve things. People are left feeling unheard, ignored, patronized – and also inadequate when they fail to reach the benchmarks all this training was supposed to achieve.
The Georgian NGOs that are given grants to implement this work may be local, but they hold considerable power over the Georgian population. This power comes from their access to Western embassies and resources and the legitimacy this conveys rather than from grassroots support. In a functional democracy, the people elect lawmakers and the executive to serve them and represent their interests. In Georgia, unelected NGOs get their mandate from international bodies, which draw up and pay for to-do lists of policy reforms for Georgia. Local NGOs lack an incentive to consider the impact of the projects they implement because they are not accountable to the citizens in whose lives they play such an intrusive role. “
Oh, and I forgot to point out that the NGOs have been organizing riots in Georgia since the bill was passed.
Imagine people dumb enough to riot to make sure they are kept ignorant!
Oh, I guess the Floyd riot excuse was almost as dumb.
And of course, any Americans dumb enough to believe the msm spin on the riots don’t get to point fingers at Georgians.
This is what Jeff Carlson (whose work at HardFacts with Hans Mahncke I have linked to previously) has to say about NGOs –
“NGOs are off-the-books government. Designed to accomplish what federal agencies legally cannot.
Make federal funding of any NGO illegal and you’ve instantly solved an enormous level of corruption & malfeasance.”
I can’t argue with that.
They should rename them OGCs – Organisations for Covert Government.

Jarek posted an obvious fake document. I pointed out that it was clear it was fabricated.
He ignored that, just like he ignores the meaning of impeachment, no matter how many people point out the truth to him.
I consider it a sign of intelligence to ignore Jarek when he says stupid things.
Fake? It was from a genuine Communist archive. It’s “fake” because you don’t like it.
Who likes Stalin? Only old school Russian communists. Paula is still such in her heart, evidently.

I was trying to set up a venmo because its like paypal…First thing that pops up on their website, two smiling black females, and one gay as hell looking blond haired Asian man laying in between them smiling….I told my brother “So this is what they mean by diversity….Boy this shit looks so totally forced it’s not even funny anymore.”
It was never intended to be funny but they appreciated and encouraged the laughs nevertheless. It’s actually a warfare grade psyop intel product. Your tax dollars fund it. Paypal should be sued for cultural appropriation for advertising an Asian man with blond hair. It sounds like the advert troubled you and created harm.
@SoftStarLight
No it didn’t harm me, I just thought it was stupid. Since I’m starting to notice a lot of stuff in this country that was never advertised before in the past. I’ve read post here that mentioned a lot of stuff started in the 1990s, but they are wrong…I remember the 1990s better than anyone on here and I don’t recall a single damn ad or commercial back then promoting a lot of the forced garbage they promote now.
Plus there was a lot more realism to what they use to advertise on television in terms of commercials. Yes TV shows still made fun of husbands and made the wives appear smarter than they were. But there were also quite a lot of shows that made fun of women too. Think of Three’s Company in the 80s, Christie was the dumb blonde. Though I can’t really think of any other television show where they made fun of women like that.
At any rate, the changes started happening with Media after 2008, once Obama got elected it was game over for America. And ever since it’s been propaganda all day every day.
Omg I used to love watching reruns of Three’s Company. I haven’t thought about that in so long! Yeah you are right. Obama was the one who ushered in the the CIA’s war on the homeland. At least that is what they say. Honestly I think it was going on a lot longer than that and maybe Obama is even to some degree their little golden child scapegoat.
Just go to youtube and type in “Commercials of the 80s, 90s” even anything much further back. You will not find any propaganda at all, if you do it will be VERY rare. Today they want you to believe that 90 percent of the population is Black, and that everyone is in a interracial relationship or same sex relation. And they can’t even do that right, so instead they mix Asian men with black women. Or the done to death played out one, Black men with white women.
Who staged the coup in the Republic of Congo? News is sparse. At first the reports said the US Embassy, which appears to incorrect. Apparently it’s a group of ex college football players, back to Mother Africa types, who wanted their own country. Altho, this could be wrong too.

I tend to think I have a pretty good understanding of the U.S. based networks of power which runs our empire.
A further theoretical assumption I have is that such networks have as their foundation of operation the nation-state.
But there is, of course, something else also going on at the global level–the apparent creation of a global elite that operates at a level seemingly apart from the nation-state.
Is this global elite actually separate from nation-state elites and if so, how do these global elites reach a consensus concerning future policy moves and what are their levers of implementation?

Don’t worry about it, Elmo. Keep His Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, pray, repent. The rest is just details.
There is a flaw in your reasoning and within your logic. The best kept secrets are open secrets. Plausible deniability and the marginalization of the true knowers helps fill in the pesky gaps. Normalcy bias does the rest as most people don’t believe their truthful eyes because their lying eyes feel so normal.
St E. Operation Gladio went on for decades after WWII and the truth only came out in the 1990s. There were NATO leaders within individual countries who didn’t know about this Europe-wide NATO terrorist operation, because everything was compartmentalised. Everything was on a need-to-know basis. Nobody blabbed till it came out in Italy in the 90s. Now it has a Wiki page, but the man in the street still couldn’t tell you what Operation Gladio was, even the ones who were around when Aldo Moro was murdered and 86 people blown up in Bologna railway station. Masterminded by NATO. Nobody blabbed.

The problem is not me repeatedly mentioning the $26 bil of your debt that DC (aka the Deep State) sent to Bibi to kill tens of thousands of innocent women and children, John.
The problem is you wanting the truth to stop while undoubtedly yet still more will be killed in your name and with your debt.

35,000 dead is peanuts compared to what they now face. 1,600,000 now face famine, John, while Bibi chokes all entry points of food with your debt!

You have learned much, young grasshopper. Do not despair that your love of Israel blinds you from Bibi’s scumbaggedness. These things take time.

Sometimes people abandon themselves, like an old, depleted mine. It is my hope that your precious mettle is still abundant and intact and that it is not lost to claim jumpers and swindlers of thought.
Tonight, there is a full moon and soon it will wane and become new, seem to disappear, but it will never abandon me, it will always return kissed by starlight, howled at by jackals and wolves.

Its actually very possible to be business friendly while at the same time hating monolithic corporate conglomerates with every fiber of your being. It’s time for you to ascend the steps to the platform or you will miss the train. You may already be too late. Hurry. We ain’t got time for remedial courses here.
Your hatred of the corporate world reflects your ex favorite, Jarek.
You complain about things, but you do not ever have a solution to substitute in its place. What exactly would you plug into the place corporations have in the world, not just in the US?
I do not like crony capitalism that forms illicit, GOVERNMENT REGULATED, corporations that grow too powerful. The best friend that illicit corporations have is our government.
A great example is Elon Musk’s SpaceX competition with NASA’s Artemis program. NASA will be sitting on the ground with Boeing biting their nails when Musk will be on the moon and beyond.
The answer is to limit corporate lobbying, ex-corporate leaders from becoming lobbyists, lobbyist lawyers, open the bidding process at Fed level to smaller companies, stop the MIC control of Defense bids, break up the three corporations that build most of our aerospace and weapons stuff, Break up the Newspaper empire owned by very few Liberal magnates, break up social media empires.
Crony capitalism will only be dealt with by busting up the Crony sources and opening up lobbying and bidding to the smaller companies.
Oh yeah, also, knock off the tax the shit out of the corporations as the whipping boys for the politicos to be the blame objects for the asswipes in charge.
This is hard to do, my suggestions. But the election of Biden in the fall will first tax the corporation, cause maximum layoffs as the corporations go off shore, and then put more of the USA in the service sector with humongous minimum wages.
If not UBI.
Those are my suggestions to slow down crony capitalism and bring back real capitalism to America. To get rid of Bidenesque socialism from the American psyche. America First, Madame.
So, put up your ideas.
To get rid of Bidenesque socialism from the American psyche.
But still keep the “Bidenesque” billions flowing to Bibi though, right?

It makes me think of that Seinfeld episode where those two women were dating George at the same time and he wanted to break it off with both of them and both of them were like “no George, it isn’t over, we’re not done yet” and he shrugged and sighed in resignation. Lol such a funny little aside, you’re too silly.
Anyhoo, I think your suggestions here are a great start. This is the America First spirit I remember from you, John. You should be communicating with the Trump campaign about your ideas. Peter Navarro who is in prison right now was like Trump’s economic czar and if Trump wins he’ll probably be back. I could see you and Peter getting along great.
Nothing hurts more than the truth.
Your hyper inflated ego has not a clue about the truth, BR. As a few of the posters here are starting to notice, and as many have left the blog under your assault. Your self-anointed assault that is just one of many on this blog.
I, for one, am not going to let you get away with your self-glorified BS.

I can’t blame them. If I was in support of an accused war criminal with his war crimes still in progress, I, too, would run from the truth.
Lord, BR, you are starting to sound like a Democrat.
Accused war criminal. Another lie, say it thirteen times and it becomes your truth.
Saw a report just now that Egypt is flooding the Hamas tunnels to drive them out and keep them from accessing Egypt. The IDF is doing the same from their side.
The war is about over. The tunnels will be destroyed, the access to weaponry by Hamas stopped, and Gaza will resume its existence. How much control will be exerted by Israel is another question? If that corridor is militarized they are building, Gaza will never militarize again. I think that is what Israel wanted, right? Winners write history.
Still have only heard of 1 billion $ going to Bibi from the 26 billion.
WTF are you talking about, John. Bibi has been accused of war crimes by the ICC. It is a fact. Try to keep up.

Still have only heard of 1 billion $ going to Bibi from the 26 billion.
WTF are you saying, John? Are you complaining that USA isn’t giving your unpayable monstrous, debilitating debt to accused war-criminal Bibi quickly enough?
Give your fucking head a shake, bud.
Hamas’ entire GDP went into tunneling under Gaza. That’s all they did. They were like Easter Islanders building those Maoi statues. No industry, no agriculture, no mining, no tourism … just digging those miserable tunnels where they could hide like rats after they sneaked into Israel and murdered Jewish women & children. Well, Egypt & Israel are flooding those tunnels and washing the detritus inside them out into the Mediterranean Sea.
@BackRowHeckler, the fun thing is that some of us, if we decry Israel’s genocide, are in bed with many of the Woke university students. 😀
What I don’t get is why is it okay for Israel to murder women and kids but Hamas doing it, all the Pro-Israel imbeciles defend their “right” to do so. This whole entire war has turned people into hardcore dumbfucks.
I meant to say, people defending Israel’s “right” to kill whom ever they want, but condemn the other side for doing the same. Plus Israel is very good at using propaganda bait, so I highly doubt Hamas even got that far into Israel and actually killed any women or children unless they just LET them do it. Israel is one of the most fortified nations, even more so than ours is. Yet I’m suppose to believe Hamas went in there and killed a bunch of women and kids that easily? What a load of horseshit. And you Pro-Israel tools believe it too.

@BackRowHeckler, who needs tunnels if you can blow/fill them up with revenue stream?
If you plopped your ass, along with giant turds-of-entitlement, into a neighborhood, rationalizing it in part by some sort of war you had in another neighborhood that didn’t quite go your way, perhaps some neighbours would see fit to dig tunnels around your house too– at the very least. Within what they could afford of course.
Eventually, perhaps, you’d finally see fit to finally remove your ass, getting it into you thick skull that you weren’t really wanted there, and join your former neighborhood’s annex (or vice-versa), the USA, and settle on only one neighborhood to ‘control’ and/or ‘influence’ with your salient media voices.
Does the ostensibly-Jewish, Blinken, consider himself, Zionist, incidentally? I see one of his speeches was recently disrupted. Did you catch that? That his legacy would be genocide?
@TruthSeeker1986:
This shit has been going on– at least by the current State clusterfuck– since at least 1948, but of course further back if you include questionable historical/religious accounts/artifacts.
Of course the Jews are portrayed, and/or self-portrayed, as victims, like a whole lot of Woke/feminazi crap these daze… where, paradoxically, the seizing of power is attempted through perpetual victimhood and privilege undercuts.
Sound familiar? It should. It’s a playbook.
Lay it on the women, LGBTQ+, immigrants and the so-called blacks and assorted ‘minorities’, etc….
Cue the violins, the poor me’s and the crocodile tears.
Okay, which is it?
Jews are a bunch of victims like our minorities or a bunch of really bad guys trying to blow away the ME.
Which one?
Or are they an ethnic religious group that have said, “Okay, world, we refuse to take your shit any more”?
They have definitely taken their share of shit.
And BR, Bibi accused by the ICC?
Hahahahaha!
JohnAZ, it’s about those who claim to speak for and/or attempt to ‘help’ others.
Many people don’t appreciate some forms of ‘help’, especially those what are politicized, forced and/or disingenuous.
It can often be a simple case of, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’
Special Exemptions Via Victimhood
“Okay, which is it?
Jews are a bunch of victims like our minorities or a bunch of really bad guys trying to blow away the ME.” ~ JohnAZ
—
John, re-read the paradoxical part where I write, “…the seizing of power is attempted through perpetual victimhood…”.
To add; the great thing about that, too, is that since (many) Jews are nevertheless ‘white’ (so to speak), they are exempt from the ‘white privilege’ part because they are and/or were victims.
Yayyy!
A hee haw for today.
From The Federalist Papers, a scientific fact.

Then he goes and pals around some more with Xi.
The best thing to come from all of this BS will be the end of the UN and its globalist agenda. Hopefully the WHO and ICC will go with it.
Right. The USA needs to run the world – setting its agenda with its phoney bologna fiat counterfeit ass-wipe. We all know that.

It’s funny, JAZ: “Biden” gets everything wrong except for allocating $26 bil for Bibi just like the UN gets everything wrong except for rubber-stamping the Rothschilds’ creation of Israel.
Why be consistent when you can corruptly pick-and-choose as if world policy is a smorgasbord?
You know, again you read into my posts only what you want to see.
My position has always been, Israel does not need us, they can kick the whole Middle East into the Sea if they wanted to.
I really do not give a damn about the 26 billion, they have only received 1 so far and that fact has not changed anything one iota.
And as usual, your glib tongue misses why Israel was created by the UN. Not the Rothschilds, but the only idea of what to do with the remains of an ethnic group dislocated by WW2, not just in Germany but all over Eastern Europe, that still numbered in the millions and had no home. The UN tried to divide Palestine into two parts. Israel declared independence of the Jewish part. The Arabs declared war and it has been going on ever since. You always say that the Arabs were the Natives, the people dislocated. That is bull, there were many Jews in Palestine also, a product of the 50 year old Zionist movement. The Arabs were the first warmongers and it continues today.
That is so strange, John. A fiscal conservative who “really do[es] not give a damn about the 26 billion”? I have never heard of such a thing.
And, keep in mind, the latest $26 bil allocated to Israel by your Congress and your POTUS is merely a drop in the bucket vis-à-vis the American tax-payers’ monies sent to Israel.
You don’t give a damn, JAZ? But you should. Foreign entities (AIPAC and the ADL) have hijacked your federal government. You really should “give a damn.”
***
No, JAZ. While your Israel-birth story portrays a noble motive, actually, the Illuminati Rothschilds pulled the UN strings and created Israel in order to foment their war on God.
True story.
***
You despise UN except when you don’t and look the other way.
You despise “Joe Biden” except when you don’t and look the other way.
It’s your hypocrisy upon which I shine light.
***
If you “really do not give a damn about the 26 billion” that your government has allocated for Bibi (and you really are a fiscal conservative), will you now publicly condemn this allocation for the record?
I wonder if we should ask those who are still wearing masks if they have herpes.
LOL. Definitely!!
You ask very politely and innocently of course.
Maybe they tell you they do have herpes, in which case, you say something like…
“Oh ok… just wondering if it was Covid24. Anyway, have a nice day…”
Oh absolutely! Always polite and demurring. Perhaps the herpes was simply generated by the jab?
I don’t wear it but I still have a mask hanging on my vanity. Right now I am keeping it there to remind me of what happened.
I have an empty facial tissue box in a cupboard with a few of them I got for free that i almost never wore, save for two brief times. I might use them for the dust from my home carpentry and painting, etc..
To be frank, I can’t stand the look of them now and if I were a dog and someone took one out, it would make me growl at them.
We used to, as still do occasionally, see them casually discarded in the streets and sidewalks, etc., here and there too. That also annoys me but, in general, I’m still pretty happy-go-lucky.
Are you happy-go-lucky?
Oh yeah they are useful too if you are gardening or picking weeds and you have some issues with allergies.
Lol, i would love to dangle the face mask in front of you so that you would growl. Then I could toss it and you could crawl to it and bite at it and rip it up lol!
I am generally happy go lucky too but I can’t lie, my moods swing lol.
Pretty sure ai is the ac….., og.
“Prepare, the Maitreya is about to announce himself
“My children, I bring you my Peace.
Be alert and vigilant because the Illuminati Elites ruling this world, already have everything planned to usher in the reign of my adversary. The demons you call Aliens are allied with the Elites and the rulers of the world powers. It is they, the so-called extraterrestrial aliens, the ones who guide and advise through the Elites, all the rulers of the great nations.
They have everything already planned in order to destabilize the economy and the world peace, so that the world will be in chaos; so that in the midst of this crisis, the Antichrist may appear as peacemaker and savior of humanity. Those of you that are of my flock, will easily discern the Show of deception, when the false messiah appears; but the vast majority of this ungrateful and sinful humanity, that walks far from Me, will run to welcome him, they will worship him, and will announce to the whole world, that the Messiah has returned. The Antichrist is already among you, he only needs to make his declaration to the world in order to make himself known to humanity.
Beware, you let yourselves be deceived Flock of mine; you well know that the Son of Man will no longer set foot on this world! My Second Coming will be in Glory and Splendor; I come to reign over my people in my New and Heavenly Jerusalem. Therefore keep all this in mind, so that when the son of perdition appears, saying that he is the Cosmic Christ, the Architect of the Universe, the Maitreya, the Instructor of the World, you are already prepared and do not pay attention to the deception.”

I find these two statements incongruent … and scary!
False messiah?
Hmmm, a good question, will the Anti-Christ or the Beast or the Beast’s apprentice show themselves as Jesus returned?
How will Mankind tell the difference?
Who are the candidates today?
Putin? Biden? Un? Xi? Soros? Schwab? Gates? Garland? Bibi? Macron? Zelensky?
One hint might be that the real McCoy is global in his aims.
The Beast and his Beast System will appear years before the Second Coming.

As stated upthread, I believe that the Beast is Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Dude nobody is going to fall for all that “Anti-Christ” bullshit other than idiot Christians on the right side of politics. And Evangelicals. Everyone else is tired of all this crap. I wish someone would get in my face talking about they are the anti-christ. They’d get their anti-christ ass kicked.
I’m in no mood for people to be testing me at all. You create problems then try to pretend only you can fix them. If they think the entire world is going to buy into all that anti-christ junk they are a huge joke. Not everyone’s religion or beliefs revolve around this shit.
If they think the entire world is going to buy into all that anti-christ junk they are a huge joke.
If you’re going to criticize the Bible, what its prophesies and its followers, TS, you should, at least, first understand the prophesies that you pooh-pooh.
You see, the biblical prophesy actually is that most of the entire world will be deceived by the anti-christ.
First: global death, destruction and mayhem. Then the rise of the anti-christ and his deceptions from that anarchy and its desperate survivors.
Capiche?
Hamas’ entire GDP went into tunneling under Gaza. That’s all they did. They were like Easter Islanders building those Maoi statues. No industry, no agriculture, no mining, no tourism … just digging those miserable tunnels where they could hide like rats after they sneaked into Israel and murdered Jewish women & children.
– Heckler
“Gee! And after we treated them so nice for the past 76 years! Talk about ingrates! I mean: what could have possibly motivated them to do all that tunnel-digging?”
“I know, eh? So then, after our military inexplicably stood down for 10+ hours on the (usually) most secure border on all of earth, what choice did we have? War-crime collective-punishment slaughter of innocent women and children was our only option. It’s not our fault.”
***
Heckler, your argument is akin to a Nazi saying, “A few of them took over our banking so we had to put them all in concentration camps.”
You do not seem to understand. There is NO terrorist activity that can possibly justify the war crime of collective punishment regardless of your little hawk-brain thoughts.
***
“Tourism”?!!! Hahahaha.
BR, who is the hawk here, BRH or you?
You support a bunch of terrorist thugs building tunnels not to support the “poor” people of Gaza but to drive another nation into the sea.
That is the brunt of it, if Hamas had spent the time supporting the Palis of Gaza instead of doing Iran’s job of trying to destroy Israel maybe the 76 years would have produced something positive instead of the BS present today. Yes, I blame Hamas for the fiasco that Gaza is, just as much as what Hezbollah has done to Lebanon. Beirut used to be a paradise until the terrorists blew up the Marine barracks.
It dawned on me after your exchange with BRH that you and folks like you are the real war promoters here, encouraging the actions of the real war promoters there. The Iran proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. I hope that Israel just absorbs Gaza and allows it to prosper like the rest of Israel has. The terrorists will just continue to destroy the people of Gaza.
I just imagine how much better all the people would be right now if Israel has taken all of the Levant in 1948 and Gaza and the West Bank would be like the rest of Israel. 26% of Israel right now are Arabs and want no part of the Iran bullshit. Good for them.
Oh yeah, BTW, when Israel decided to use Hamas to administer Gaza, they really screwed up,
like a fox in the henhouse.
Typical American:
“Our previous meddling has caused all sorts of problems … so now we gotta bomb them back to the Stone Age.”
***
If you had half of a brain, JAZ, you could see that “Israel decided to use Hamas to administer Gaza” to spark this obvious war of conquest and genocide. D’uh.
Well, your half a brain misses the fact that Oct. 7 started this whole think and it was the Hamas fighters that started it. You love to bring up that Israel did not react quickly and make it out to be that Israel is somehow the instigator. That is utter crap and I digress and say if you had a quarter of a brain, you would realize who the real culprits are, Hamas.
As I said before , the Palis would be much better off if Israel had just kept Gaza and never allowed Hamas in. That was a major Israeli FU.
Typical American? Typical dumbass! a typical Canadian would not believe your BS.
That’s not true Israel would have preserred Fatah.
But strangely Fatah candidates began to disappear; they’re just being found now, with their hands tied behind their backs and bullets in their necks, buried in trenches.
You love to bring up that Israel did not react quickly and make it out to be that Israel is somehow the instigator.
No. It was not a simple case of “Israel did not react quickly,” JAZ. That would have been 30 minutes. 30 minutes would have been horrifically slow. It was 10+ hours!
Use your brain.
Israel may or may not have been the “instigator.” However, they most assuredly Israel were the “facilitators.” Of that there is no doubt.
Cui bono?

Thou shalt do war by way of deception.

Perhaps Bibi preferred Fatah, Heckler. We’ll probably never know.
But, if that is so, why was he funding Hamas? Just covering all his bases?
***
I’m still waiting on your thoughts of the 12 GOP US Senators sending ICC senior officials mafioso-style (except in writing!) threats.
You what I think? I think that you refuse to answer my question because your answer would expose the truth: you put America second behind Israel and you are just fine with America looking like buffoons on the international stage if it is perceived as good for Israel. That’s what I think. Pretty sure.
@OG
First and foremost Israel pretty much have power over a bunch of nations. Not just the United States. How else were they able to get a bunch of Muslims ported over into Europe? UN played a role in this too including Nato.
TS most of the Muslims arriving in Europe in the last decade were escaping the Syrian Civil War.
How is that Israel’s fault?
According to OG & Jarek, everything is Israel’s fault lol.
brh, if America didn’t have a ‘civil war’ (see upthread), neither did Syria. Syria’s war was created by the west, principally the UK and US, who are the usual suspects.
Alba I thought the Syrian Civil War grew out of the ‘Arab Spring’ and popular discontent with the Hassad govt? The US & Britain never had much of a presence in Syria 2011-present time; altho, like in the Spanish Civil War, there are about a dozen different sides battling it out. (albeit a frozen conflict at the moment) Also it’s hard to believe a moribund, socially fractured, de industrialized, increasingly poverty stricken UK, with a capitol city (London) devoid of any English people and hardly an army or navy to speak of, could influence events anywhere. The UK can’t even control Muslims on the streets of Manchester or Cardiff, never mind in Syria.
You support a bunch of terrorist thugs building tunnels …
No, I do not, JAZ. I am against collective punishment war crimes. The rest is just you lacking logical thought.
I understand terrorists building tunnels given the way that their population has been treated for the past 76 years.
Understanding someone’s motives is not supporting them. It is analytical methodology to the truth.

FYI – Hawks promote violence, death and destruction while doves work to cease violence, death and destruction. D’uh.

“Our concentration camp war-crimes victims don’t like us!” Boo fucking hoo.
When I was a child, I looked forward to being an adult because I thought that logic like, “You understand his motives therefore you support him” would be left on the playground.
Alas, I was wrong.

JudasAZ said, “Oh yeah, BTW, when Israel decided to use Hamas to administer Gaza, they really screwed up, like a fox in the henhouse.”
So, if a fox [ zionists ] hired a weasel [ Hamas ] to sneak into the henhouse [ you get the eggs ] and scare out all the chickens, this indicates the cunningly administered removal of all avians as well as any foxes in weasel suits.
No, BR, the fox is Hamas and the hens are the people of Gaza, who have been damn near destroyed by the proxies of Iran.
Cowards hiding behind the skirts of the Palis.
But you left out the zionists? Who are the weasels? As long as we are using made-up labels, let’s throw out a few more that have fourteen subjective definitions so we can delude ourselves further.

Ely, the USS Harvey Milk is not a rumor. Pride Monrh is little more than a week away and the ‘Fighting Harvey’ will be making a port call in San Francisco, showing the colors — which happen to be pink & mauve — & allowing the sailors generous overnight liberty.

The LBTGQ+ movement is trying to convert society to their beliefs.
Starting with the kids. IMHO, no LBTGQ individual should be able to influence our kids.
Boy Scouts, teachers unions are a start.
It is a perversion that God Himself condemns in the Bible. Public acceptance of sexual immorality has been a key to the fall of many societies.
According to OG & Jarek, everything is Israel’s fault lol.
That’s not true, Heckler. I only fault Israel for what they do wrong – just like every other country.

Like this dickhead Lindsey Graham crying about how the ICC will come after them next if they get Bibi. Why would the ICC target you Lindsey? What did you do that was so wrong you are afraid of getting arrested? Oh your stupid concave ass is running around the world trying to get World War 3 started like the little war mongering bitch that you are knowing full well your old ass isn’t going to fight a war but will gladly get the rest of us killed to hide whatever it is you’ve done, that or either to make more than you already have which is PLENTIFUL.
I hope Lindsey and all the other spineless POS scum in DC get what they deserve. He has every right to be scared, he needs to be scared. Even though I don’t trust ICC if it’s true they are globalist or part of them. Globalist in all their forms need a lesson taught to them as well as the people they target with arrest warrants.
And the Inquisition and the Tsarist Pomgroms and the Stalin purges and. And. Jews make wonderful scapegoats and targets.
And the Holocaust.
The Holocaust was 80 years ago, John. It is bs to use the Holocaust to justify anything that’s happening today but you don’t bother with logic or reason as you pucker up for yet another Bibi-bum kiss.
Heckler is accusing me of blaming everything on Israel. I was born 20 years after WWII! The Holocaust has nothing to do with Bibi bombing innocent women and children in Gaza today and my knowing that he is wrong to do so. D’uh.
Collective punishment is a punishment or sanction imposed on a group for acts allegedly perpetrated by a member of that group, which could be an ethnic or political group, or just the family, friends and neighbors of the perpetrator. Because individuals who are not responsible for the acts are targeted, collective punishment is not compatible with the basic principle of individual responsibility. The punished group may often have no direct association with the perpetrator other than living in the same area and can not be assumed to exercise control over the perpetrator’s actions. Collective punishment is prohibited by treaty in both international and non-international armed conflicts, more specifically Common Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Article 4 of the Additional Protocol II.

Bibi-gun is a war criminal by definition.
The problem with Israel and the United States both, is that they believe they should be immune to prosecution and consequences. Anyone else guilty of wrong doing must be invaded and then punished. Like the U.S. invading Iraq after making false bullshit claims about them having weapons of mass destruction, yet Israel have weapons of mass destruction and look what they intend to do with them if they ever feel cowardly enough to launch nukes at everyone via Samson option. Seems like to me they are doing everything in their power to piss off enough nations just so they can have this fucking sorry ass excuse to do exactly that.
Then they get to claim that “GOD” told them to piss off the world so they can fire nukes at anyone that tries to put their foot up their ass.
And exactly what would you do if someone was going to put the foot up your ass there in Sacramento? Or if the enemy put Nukes in Cuba? What if China invaded California using its own migrants as a mechanism? Exactly where would you draw the Red Line to shoot back?
Israel has sent the message, the world is not going to eff with the Jews anymore. I guess we will live with that,
Unless some conglomerate that tries gets a nuke up their ass.
BTW, IMO, the answer is for ceasefires and DISARMAMENT by both sides in the Middle East, not the candy ass “ceasefires” the anti-Israelis want to allow the proxies to re-arm to attack Israel the next time.
When the US and Russia finally figured out MAD in the 90’s, they partially disarmed. When the ME finally figures out that MAD exists there, maybe they will smarten up.
Can the Arabs and Jews live together, they do now. In Israel.
Uh oh.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported today that they have developed a vaccine against the new pandemic to be, Avian flu.
OMIGOD, we have had a second case in humans in Michigan.
The new vaccine at Penn University, no vaxx, is based on you guessed it, mRNA.
Are we seeing the start of the next attempt by the Dems to subvert the election? Watch the CDC and NIH.
BTW, it is in birds and crossed to cattle in significant amounts. Why not vaxx the cattle.
Why not [mRNA] vaxx the cattle?
Good thinking.
John, they’re already injecting livestock with mRNA ‘vaccines’. That means we’re going to get it anyway (us, the other cattle).
The avian flu ‘pandemic’ will be televised, just like the revolution was supposed to be. The Amish will not get ‘avian flu’ because they don’t have televisions. Just like they didn’t get covid.
If they managed to get avian flu to cross species, it’s because they did it in a lab.
For goodness’ sake. How many times are you going to let them do this to you?
It has occurred that JAZ maybe isn’t consistent with his meds. Some days he makes sense. Other days? Not so much.
Not like you, Broken Record, always the same day after day, week after week.
There is more to life than commiserating about Israel.
No meds, asshole. I just happen to have varying POV about subjects, unlike you.
That’s fair. You’re a good man, John.

Bibi-gun Nutty Yahoo has war crimes charges being brought against him for his blatant collective punishment against Geneva by the International Criminal Court.
Yet Bibi-gun vows more.
Of course we will speak of Israel daily on a geopolitical public forum. Don’t be silly.
Well, OG, we agree on more things than we disagree on.
Let us leave it at that.
Like all things, Israeli problems will pass and something else will come forth.
IMO, nothing is more important than what the US populace does in November.
Yes, we do agree on much, JAZ.
IMO, there will be many, many fascinating developments between now and November 5th.
