In the pre-gloat hours before the verdict in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, Lawfare caporegime Andrew Weissmann (“Mueller’s Pitbull”) confessed Valley Girl style from his MSNBC clubhouse perch, “. . . I mean, I am, like, now I have a man-crush on him, he is such a great judge!” Bromance on, looks like! If the two happen to frequent the same athletic club in downtown Manhattan, Judge Merchan better be careful in the post-workout shower when he bends over to pick up the soap. The Pitbull cometh!
Of course, the Alvin Bragg victory in the artfully constructed “Stormy Daniels Payoff Case” decided late Thursday calls to question how come the Mueller Special Counsel Probe into 2016 election interference (actually run by Mr. Weissmann, due to Mr. Mueller’s declining cognitive ability) failed to spot the same web of evidence — hard as they toiled, and they had a good two years and millions of taxpayer dollars to git’er done?
My guess: too many white lawyers on the Mueller staff. Everybody knows now from watching the latest crop of television commercials that white people are unusually stupid and helpless and cannot cope with common problems without assistance from helpful people of color (POCs). So, God bless Alvin Bragg for finally fixing what Bob Mueller’s fifteen bloodhounds led by a pitbull somehow botched.
The former president is now convicted on thirty-four counts of book-keeping errors in furtherance of an alleged 2016 federal election violation that the Federal Election Commission declined to charge — that is, paying a porn star to sign a non-disclosure agreement about a sexual liaison — because it is not a crime under federal election law, and about which the head of the FEC, James E. “Trey” Trainor III, was barred by Judge Merchan from testifying on during the course of the trial for reasons yet unknown.
Of course, that is but one of a great many points of law that will merit appeal in what everybody — even some white people (people of non-color, PONCs) — knows was a case so crookedly contrived that it is fated to get tossed in the higher courts, and probably with harsh remonstrance to the degenerate officers of the court who brought it and adjudicated it. But you will have to wait on that because the mills of the law grind slowly.
Now, in the radiance of the full Woke gloat, we await Judge Merchan’s sentence, to be announced a mere few days before the Republican Convention in Milwaukee in early July. Jail time at Rikers? Home confinement (with ankle bracelet)? Severe travel restrictions? Reporting to a parole officer? Drug tests? Hey, No one is above the law! It is hard to imagine that the judge will demur from inflicting maximum humiliation on this wanton repeat violator (thirty-four times!) of book-keeping errors. It would tend to interfere with the presidential candidate’s campaign schedule, but so what? Where does it say in the Constitution that an election must be fair?
Or Judge Merchan could suspend all that pending appeal and just allow Mr. Trump to go about his election business free on bail. But why would he? After all the trouble he went to. And all the glory he’s reaping for it. “Joe Biden’s” party has Mr. Trump exactly where they want him, they think: pinned down like a moth in a shadow-box, inert and pathetic. (But, in reality, more like King Kong, chained in the rank basement below the stage of a Broadway theater before busting loose in midtown and upending subway cars so as to devour the little humans tumbling out like so many tic-tacs.)
Expect Mr. Trump’s lawyers to file writs to the SCOTUS requesting expedited attention to the denial of due process issues and the election interference question. The situation is comparable to the year 2000 presidential race, where the SCOTUS stepped in on probable cause that the lower court (in Florida that time) had violated the Equal Protection clause of the constitution.
In the meantime, through the luminescent fog of gloat, perhaps you did not notice that “Joe Biden” took a giant step yesterday toward commencing World War Three. The move was framed as the US gives Ukraine permission to use American missiles to strike deep within Russia. That was a bit disingenuous, you see, because Ukraine’s military lacks the know-how to actually launch the missiles, so American military “advisors” will have to be on hand to do it, meaning US military personnel will commit an act of aggression upon Russia.
Voila! That world war you’ve all been clamoring for. . .? The perfect climax to “Joe Biden’s” catastrophic, fraudulently-acquired term in office. I scent the acrid, burnt-flesh odor of miscalculation here, as of a bunch of American cities get turned into radioactive bonfires that will blot out that sublime luminosity of gloat.
Apparently, the “Joe Biden” team has never seen a Clint Eastwood movie — too lowbrow, I’m sure — and they don’t grok the role of the underdog in the American psyche. They have succeeded in making Donald Trump the greatest underdog in US history under the direst circumstances the nation may have ever faced — worse than Valley Forge, Bull Run, or the Ardennes Forest. Sinister forces are driving the country straight into a communo-fascist despotism alien to our nation’s very soul, demonic forces bent on depriving Americans of their rights, their property, and their liberty. This is the “all-is-lost” moment in that movie. This is where the hero comes back from the edge of eternal darkness, raging like Kali the Destroyer to smite the cowards arrayed against him, against the country’s honor, against the people. You asked for it. Now you’re going to get it.

There will be a shoot out between Trump’s private security detail and the LE sent to put him in jail. Trump will die in the crossfire
Outstanding opening quote! They are usually appropriate or good or both, but this the best on both counts I have seen in a while.
Maybe because it succinctly captures my view of things.
You can go back to mbing to Hamas propaganda now.
The truth is harsh mistress.
Are the tens of thousands bombed to death, mostly women and children, Hamas propaganda?
One of the reasons the “hour is late” is that the parasite of the Israeli Lobby has been undermining the US for decades
financially (a RICH nation, Israel, is the top foreign aid recipient, money America doesn’t have, as every year has a big budget deficit),
geopolitically (one of Osama BL’s stated reasons for attacking the US was US support of the abuses of Palestinians)
(the war in Iraq was actively supported and encouraged by the Israeli Lobby, because “Saddam had WMD”, and because Saddam was the most powerful Arab leader not beholden to the US).
That’s the tip of the iceberg. Those who understand can see under the water line.
And what has it gotten the US?
The more militant slaves rebelled against their Israeli oppressors, like Nat Turner did. Their tactics are NO different from those of the Stern Gang or Irgun in the 1940s, or Israeli Army and Police since.
It’s only how they are presented–Israelis are heroic, Arabs are criminal.
Even if there was no war in the Ukraine (a war precipitated by the people like–Nuland, Biden, Blinken, and before that Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Paul Bremer, and Douglas Feith–all Israel-first, America-later people), do you think the US position in the world is stronger or weaker than it was on Oct 06?
Well, I have good news for you. I think Israel is going to outlast the US. But when the US ceases to be a dominant power and can’t cover for Israel, then economically Israel will have problems.
And then Israel will have to choose between the Samson Option (which was a lot more viable for tough kibbutzniks 25 years after Auschwitz, than it is now for soft people living like Europeans for the past 50 years who fear bottle rockets), or “getting along” with the world, a world in which the Israeli Lobby may not control China or Russia or Gulf Oil states.
We will see, won’t we? Have a nice day:)
For God sake Soc you and Jarek always bringing it around to Israel. Is there anything on earth Israel is not responsible for?
When you control most everything of importance, you are responsible for most everything of importance.
@brh
I did not bring up the subject of Hamas (and by inference, Israel).
I said I really liked the opening quote.
@JackStraw replied and mentioned Hamas and implied I spread Hamas propaganda. Was that called for?
The latter is utter BS, and I responded.
Why do you exaggerate and imply that I blame Israel for “everything on earth”?
That would absurd. For example, I don’t see a link between Israel and the Vietnam War. I don’t see a link between Israel and the lawfare waged against Trump. Do you know something we don’t?
Typical. For some people, any criticism of Israel is unacceptable. Perhaps that’s you.
Rather than propaganda (be it Israeli or Palestinian), I offer a few generally accepted facts and my predictions of where they will lead.
My predictions could be totally wrong, of course.
Perhaps Hamas will be destroyed. Afterwards, perhaps oil and gas finds off of Gaza can be developed with no adverse environment effects, Gaza will be redeveloped, Palestinians can be resettled happily somewhere else, and Gaza will rival Maui, Monte Carlo, and Las Vegas PUT TOGETHER, and rich Saudis will spend their weekends on the lavish “strip”, and everything will be fine 🙂
Perhaps by 2026 the deficit will go down, and by 2032 the national debt will also go down to $20 billion. Those are predictions.
But for right now, the fact remains that the Israeli government has killed thousands of Palestinians, the vast majority, women and children, using a lot of US bombs, paid for by the US taxpayer. And as the Palestinians are drowning in a sea of blood, the US is drowning in a sea of red ink.
And there is a relationship between the two.
And everyone who can do something about it seems OK with things.
So, if someone wants to tag a moronic Israel/Palestine/Hamas/Zionist comment on my comment, I may not ignore it.
I do regret that brevity is not my strong suit–I’m not an English or journalism major.
There is much of Israel in the United State, BRH. As my old Jewish roommate used to exclaim, Do we punch in way above our weight, or what?
Hey guys, hecklers are not really there to argue. That’s not their point, their raison d’etre, what they’re about. They are there to heckle, to snipe and then shut up and wait for another opportunity. It’s a niche.
The Israel Lobby sez don’t talk about Israel.
Talk about something else– anything. If you have to talk about Israel, however, talk about it in a nice way, not a bad way.
Thank you.
SD
PLEASE go somewhere else and start your own blog. Stop hijacking this one that Mr Kunstler has devoted much energy over a long time to create.
Just try to have SOME ethics in your life!!!!
Did you hear that, SD? Go elsewhere and, by doing so, help make us, The Israel Lobby, great again.
Yes it was a fine quote.
It’ll be a two-fer: Trump and the 2nd amendment.
As a former President, Trump has Secret Service protection for life. That said, the Democrats are trying to pull his protection, no doubt so one of their operatives can assassinate him in prison. As bad as Republicans can be, theyve got nothing on the viciously vindictive, power-mad, fascistic Democrats.
You mean they’ll pull an Epstein on him. There isn’t anything democrats won’t do, so many of them are either compromised in some way or demonically controlled. How else can you explain some of their practices?
I bet Justina Trudeau was happier than a pig in his own filth when the verdict came down. Of course! I’ll just use the power of my own lawfare cabal to lock up Pierre Poilievre on trumped up charges and then call a snap election, which I’ll win because everyone who stands in the way of me getting a fourth term will be too busy defending themselves from my attack dogs . Great post JHK. Hope to see you in Windsor soon where you can give our entire municipal government a much-needed bitch slap of reality.
I don’t think we’re that far gone. Just look at the successes of Bill C-368. It wouldn’t have got to second reading if there weren’t still some honorable people in Parliament.
Murder is just another day at the office for pols of all stripes.
Yep
The Republicans are worse, Bob. They sit there and do nothing while professing to be the opposition party.
I think the Republicans are more compromised than the Democrats. Most of them are closet homos or pedos. Most of the Democrats don’t need to be compromised to do what they do. They worship and embrace evil. So they are just acting naturally.
Yes, RD3. You are absolutely correct.
…Next, it will be “au naturel,” or at least we can hope so.
And who killed JFK and RFK?
Assassinations are above the paygrade of Republican and Democrat.
Whoa!
You think they will get lucky the second time they try that gambit?
Yeah, I think they would. Who’s gonna contest anything?
They pull reruns all the time. It is an insult to our intelligence, but they get away with it every time.
There’s no intelligence left. That’s why the reruns work.
Nearing the end of the life timeline of JHK’s website/CFN blog we’ll know how close things are to a world made by hand when his blog post is titled “GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN”.
LOL! That’s funny. Thanks for the tiny bit of humour.
that’s been fantasized by Hollywood elites Civil War movie, black California woman soldier murders Trump in the end. movies are fantasy controlled by the democrat regime squatting in Washington. reality is always a bit different. let all of the poisons that lie stinking in the mud hatch out…

You just jinxed it. Now it’s less likely to happen.
The time has come to fight lawfare with lawfare!
#May30: The day justice died and Lady Liberty cried
Bring it on Putin, pretty please, turn those American cities into radioactive bonfires as retribution for the stupidity of this Biden administration. Just make sure they are all “blue” cities so those votes for Biden go into the ash heap. If this comes to pass maybe the left will postpone the election to a future undetermined date, much like they did in the Ukraine, keeping Zelenskyy on as unofficial president for as long as it takes.
The fat, ignorant, lazy American public deserves what they are going to get.
Don’t worry, they’ll get it.
Don’t know, Tuco22. I still see lots of brand new expensive trucks pulling fifth wheels and loaded toy haulers everywhere. Seems to me they are doing just fine and dandy.
@Cankerpuss, I see them too but I think it’s not what it appears to be. All of these people, and I know of many, are massively, terrifyingly in debt. They don’t really own anything. They buy (with credit) every glittery toy they see, and they only need one small disaster for the whole thing to come tumbling down.
I know of someone back home in PA who just bought a $900,000 house. The combination of payments on this house, plus property taxes, is staggering. They can pay it – barely. They just bought a new car as well. Every penny they make is accounted for. A few unexpected minor medical bills would get them into immediate trouble. This is the case with more people than you’d think. They have not the slightest realization of how precarious their position is, or of the state of the world.
I was wondering how people are buying these EVs I see around here. Not many but a few Rivian trucks and the new Tesla ‘Pick ups’. We’re talking $80,000-$100,000 dollars out the door + a required subscription which is at least $300 per month for 5 years. I know some people can afford it, but enough to keep those companies in business?
BRH some of the guys who eschew college for a trade end up spending as much or more on the vehicle they need as they would have spent on school.
I’m not saying that’s good or bad, wrong or right. It just is.
Till it all comes crashing down.
Three sides to every coin, right?
Maybe the people buying up all the luxury toys are certain of what is coming and to quote Jim Morrison “…want to get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames!”
BRH
All new products sell a bunch initially until the novelty wears off and they saturate for their price range.
That is why Tesla et al are hitting road blocks in demand.
Newer generation very low cost EVs are showing up which is scaring the shit out of the first generation. Detroit has pulled back to hybrids and gas. Numbers like $20000 to $25000 are setting a new standard, Mostly from China. Both candidates are now talking 100% tariffs on Chinese autos, mostly EVs.
When Obama et al decided to send manufacturing overseas, they never counted on the USA losing the formula.
I can hardly wait for “Johnny Cabs”. Driverless Uber EVs cruising up and down WalMart parking lots.
JohnAZ — sending manufacturing overseas started under Reagan. By the time O came along, it was long gone.
Agreed 100%.
Henry Gruver saw New York get nuked in his vision. Now would be the perfect time. They chose the known tyranny.
DC would be good too…
Both of you are seeing my recurring day dream…
God help the West if any American or EU supplied missiles strike the Kremlin, or even hit inside Moscow. Russia is capable of leveling any European city , without warning, inside 20 minutes, even without the use of tactical nuclear warheads. My prediction: Brussels will be struck first, just to send a message, the message being, “We lost 36 million people in WW2, it’s not going to happen again. SO DONT F##K WITH US.”
That’s would be a shame. Brussels has some nice architecture.
You been in Brussels lately?
I thought not.
Islander
Hahaha, yes I was in Brussels last fall.
When the number one and two attractions are a boy and girl pissing in a fountain, hmmm?
Some can’t get humor, I see.
WW2 casts a big shadow, over Russia AND Israel.
I agree. European targets will be first.
It won’t be cities, though. Russia hasn’t even targeted Ukrainian cities.
It will be military targets.
But in my opinion, Jens Stoltenberg is a military target.
So is the NATO meeting that I think is happening today. But I know Russia won’t start with that, although they should.
That peace summit without Russia starts in a couple of weeks.
I just now as I was checking the date learned that Germany has joined the last-minute rush to get WWIII underway, by agreeing to allow Ukraine to use their weapons in Russia.
I also learned that China isn’t having anything to do with a peace meeting without Russia. That makes sense.
If we are going to discuss countries and people incapable of doing government, start with Germany.
I think the Russians are judicious. They are not going go after cities.
At least they don’t PLAN to. It is the smarter play, for many reasons.
However, wars are unpredictable.
Also, while I think the RUSSIANS are judicious, it saddens me to say the US government is not judicious.
And it’s also led by people who I think are inept ideologues, presiding over a society where, to paraphrase, “we (government, media) make our own reality”.
The “peace summit” would not be a good target.
It is mostly countries the US has by the balls, showing up because they are told to. Everyone knows it’s a farce, but the Deep State knows where their children go to school.
Biden isn’t going.
NATO would be a much better target.
Putin has shown remarkable restraint to this point. I don’t think he will be able to continue on that path when NATO missiles – nuclear or otherwise – rain down on his people inside his country.
Medvedev has been warning and yesterday Putin warned.
Biden and Nuland’s puppet has enough cocaine in him to get a hippopotamus thru a 4 minute mile and I think as soon as he is ensconced in his Miami condo, Americans will fire those missiles from Ukraine.
I have a pretty impressive PA system in my house. I am seriously considering setting up in the front yard and blasting Warren Zevon’s Lawyers Guns and Money.
Did you know that there is a lively debate going on in Germany as to whether the 4&2 agreement that resulted in the unification of Germany is thrown into question if Germany does not maintain neutrality and sends weapons to the Ukraine?
I thought not.
@islander
No, I did not. Good point, thank you for telling us.
Actually I did know that there has been debate in Germany over allowing weapons to be used in Russia.
@BackRow
Why do you think that only Russia has nukes? You make it sound like if Putin fires one, no one else will be able to retaliate. They will. If Russia nukes a city to shit they will get nuked right back. They aren’t the only dogs with these hellish weapons.
That’s why I feel the U.S. doesn’t even give a shit, they are idiots that believe they can straight up win a fucking nuclear fight. Especially the instigator dickheads that need their asses kicked.
Read it again, TS. He specified non-nuke missiles.
Cities would not be the Russians’ first priority. The sensible thing to do would be to destroy all military installations with the capability to retaliate. The trick would be to do it fast. Missiles could be launched from off-shore submarines.
Or, in light of the corruption and incompetence of our military, these installations could be destroyed through an “inside job.”
A number of years ago, a local drug dealer was busted, and the cops found that he had quite a few weapons stolen from Whiteman AFB. This does not speak well of their security.
If I had to pick a city, I’d pick Boston. No group of Americans deserves it more and the aftermath would blow east and away from me.
Frisco. Frisco & Silicon Valley need to go. Unfortunately, I live here, but hey, at least it will be quick.
What of Harvard Square? (Iconic basin that it is)
If NYC were nuked by Putin today it is an open question whether our military men would launch missiles on Joe Biden’s orders to retaliate. Many would be more inclined to celebrate the instantaneous incineration of Alvin Bragg, Judge Merchan, and the other 7 million hopelessly woke Democrats that infest the Big Apple.
I, for one, would pop a bottle of Dom Perignon to celebrate their radioactive demise.
The rapture! John AZ goes straight to Heaven.
@Jarek: Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Not the “official,” the illegitimate president with whom no treaty can legally conjoin.
The pendulum has swung too far this time Jim. We are doomed.
It will be interesting what the national polls show next week.
Trump will be up 3-4 points in all states.
After Trump mouthed off about bombing Moscow and Beijing, you’re probably right, cowbell.
The national polls always show the same damned thing. 50/50. Neck and neck. Small leads within the margin of error.
The country is too divided. We are doomed.
The polls are rigged, to keep it “exciting”.
The latest Zogby poll uses head to head matchups:
Kennedy vs Biden – Kennedy wins in a landslide.
Kennedy vs Trump – Kennedy wins in a nail biter.
Alex Jones – aka Trump campaign headquarters – said he (Jones) was going on a full on verbal attack on RFK Jr. That means Trump is starting to sweat.
To quote Rodney Crowell: “It ain’t over yet!”
RFK should have every American who refused the jab.
Unfortunately, Americans have short attention spans.
Bobby has gone soft on punishing the covid crimes. He hasn’t even mentioned the recent revelations from the covid select subcommittee.
He’s got Fredo on his team with him. Fredo, who spread lies that he knew were lies, and even pretended to be in his basement for two weeks when he was out and about violating his own brother’s curfew which said brother is now claiming he didn’t impose.
Do you think that RFK would go along with Disease X?
Do you think that RFK would sign the WHO treaty?
Those polls that showed a Hillary landslide?
Exactly, “we the people” are pissed. The truth will come out in November after the polls close.
After the polls are closed? How long after? A week, two weeks?
National polls are irrelevant. Only the state polls in the 7 battleground states are worthy of our attention.
This is a fight to win in the electoral college – not to win the “mob democracy” national popularity contest.
The Trump campaign raised just shy of $35 million less than 24 hours after the verdict. Money talks.
” hard as they toiled, and they had a good two years and millions of taxpayer dollars to git’er done”
Best money ever spent on a presidential campaign. Judge Merchan just won a pyrrhic victory for sure!
I was an immediate donor…..and I rarely donate my hard earned cash to anyone for anything.
Yesterday was a mandated exception to that thrifty habit.
I can’t understand how a person who calls himself “Irish” doesn’t know about the uprising in Ireland, home of huge corporate wealth, making the big-wig’s knees knock together.
The Democrat party will rue the day of “victory”, as this gets appealed. The “ParTy” has crossed the Rubicon, and assured their extinction.
“By any and all means”.
I bet you last night De Niro had a real big celebration for the ruling with his lefty lunatic Hollywood pals. Watch for his latest flick “Ezra” to be the biggest box office flop in recent memory.
I don’t think any real democrat even went to work today in celebration.
Yes, they can fiddle while Rome burns.
I fled California not because of the DEW created fires, the looting, the taxes, the insane woke agenda or control by a single political party. I fled California because the people there were brainwashed into believing that all businessmen were Klan attending, slave owning, women hating thieves and monsters.
The idea had spread that it was “okay” to harm a business owner because it was “justifiable reparations” for the harm that they had done and that there was zero difference between a businessman and Hitler and both should receive the same treatment.
Of course, the public was told to believe this because Trump was a businessman ergo it was ok to loot their establishments, destroy their property and physically harm them.
When I moved to Appalachia, of all the things I spoke of having witnessed in California, the assault on business owners was seen as a credulous exaggeration. Such madness certainly couldn’t be possible!
But it was. Millions of Mom & Pop landlords and business owners were driven out of business during the Covid Scam. The few businesses that remain are having a terrible go at the moment with 46% of them unable to make payment on their commercial properties.
This desire to get DJT at any cost has destroyed this nation. Very soon, there wont be any jobs for these Democrats to go to and no viable support system to feed them once they become unemployed.
Things are about to get really bad.
When the USA breaks up into separate states and nations I’d predict that California/PNW will be next to other hostile countries/states that have fiercely guarded and closely controlled borders. Those other countries will be closed in that people in Ca won’t be able to migrate to other countries in North America. They’ll be forced to cook in their own stew. They’ll be just as toxic as it seems the Palestinians are in the ME. Nobody will want them living in *their* country. Let ’em camp in somebody else’s back yard.
I certainly hope so. Don’t come here to Alaska though. There aren’t enough moose to go around already.
Somethings off about the whole DeNiro thing. Trump, at some cocktail party, while towering over the bad boy wanna be, probably blew him off, and the little dweeb never got over it. What a sad head case. Too bad too, he’s a hell of an actor.
He had partnered with Harvey Weinstein to make a documentary on the harms of childhood vaccines.
Look what happened to Weinstein. That example was enough to make anyone toe the Establishment line.
You’re wrong Devnickle. I wish you were right but you are wrong. The Democrats, AKA, the uniparty have it all by the balls now. They are running the locomotive and they are making sure it is going to derail. The question is when…….
OK Cankerpuss, I’m on a roll today. Morrison, Zevon and now Ian Anderson: “Ol Charley stole the handle and the train it won’t stop rolling, no it won’t slow down.”
You’re welcome!
Love it!
Major constitutional crisis or perhaps martial law coming up — right on schedule!
1) The Donald is assigned full Secret Service protection for his entire natural life. Something bad might happen to other people
2) Democrat National Socialist National Convention, Chicago – “the City that works.” Mayor Richard Daley and Abbie Hoffman are gone. Behold their evolved missionaries. Hippies versus silken corruption? Murderous political thugs versus homicidal Soros cadres. Yummie.
November’s Guy Fawkes Day will be a Gunpowder Rebellion with double-base this time – not charcoal, sulphur, and saltpetre.
That judge is so far gone that I wouldn’t be surprised if he handed down the death penalty.
As for those “radioactive bonfires,” JHK, I hope you have a bug-out location in the Adirondacks.
I despise anyone who is referred to as a “judge.” Who gave them the right to judge anything? A law degree?
I spent about a decade and a 1/2 doing forensic medicine work in state, federal and hick town courts in support of injured patients. My conclusion: ALL courts, ALL judges and at least 75% of lawyers are corrupt beyond hope. I can’t count on all toes and fingers how many judges I’ve seen (not just in hick courts) that owned massive stock in defendant companies that ruled in favor of said companies and refused to recuse themselves, claiming some supernatural objectivity. The whole ‘legal’ system is corrupt beyond repair and needs to be burned to the ground.
@neurodoc – Hear! Hear!
It is part of the swamp that Trump promised to drain but didn’t. It turned on him and encouraged his impeachment twice and denied obvious evidence of election interference.
hélas, bravo!
@ neurodoc:
I’ve seen the same thing, both from my own experience and from the many tales I’ve heard from others. A friend of mine, who’d made his fortune in real estate, told me that he became so sick of the routine bribery of lawyers and judges that he set up several of them and was able to get two lawyers and one judge disbarred.
At least one person made the time/energy to go after the corrupt bastards. Problem is, there’s tens of thousands of them and for every one taken down, another pops out of the burgeoning law schools to take its place as court psychopath.
It’s black fly season up there, speaking of bugs.
Those little buggers help some here in Maine in keeping the hoi polloi out. The Democrsts would nuke the state just to get rid of them.
Have you slapped a Democrat today?
No, but that’s only because I haven’t had a chance– yet.
Nice!
I got 2 compliments on my Kennedy 24 t-shirt yesterday!
Expect renewed efforts to remove a convicted felon from the ballot in some states.
But I thought democrats advocated for felons being able to vote.
Haha, you are too right!!! The irony is amazing…..
The party has only just begun. The way things are going, Beryl, there won’t be a Republican on the ballot. The USA will be like a Venezuelan election where Maduro earned 98% of the vote.
Or like North Korea where “fat boy” earned 98% of “the vote.”
He got 100% of the vote.
I looked up the election results and Maduro got 68%, not 98%
Where do you get your information?
I agree Beryl –
The Minnesota SC kept Trump on the ballot because he hadn’t been convicted. The commies here surely will revisit this again.
How can a bookkeeping error be a felony?
Especially if the expense isn’t illegal in the first place?
It was originally a misdemeanor, but since the statute of limitations had run out, Bragg did a two-step and poof, it became a felony, with an expanded timeframe to charge.
and Trump cannot hire a lawyer to beat this nonsense even though a higher court already refused to hear the case?
P. U.
You can’t beat the Deep State. They have six ways to Sunday to get you.
Oh great Paula!
I’m quoting The Doors, Zevon and Jethro Tull and you bring Chuck Schumer into the mix?
/s
Well Done!
(Big Smile)
I think there is an even-money chance the scale of the blood sacrifice of the Satanic Majesties goes from “only” a few hundred thousand in Ukraine to millions in multiple countries.
No, he couldn’t. Big-name law firms were scared off by threats of losing clients and having their lawyers brought before the bar, while other capable lawyers are scared of bad publicity, fights at home, and dealing with Trump. It’s also a reason why so many of his cabinet secretaries and other subalterns were less than stellar: why work for someone who is so hated by the Establishment that doing so is a career gender (unless you’re filthy rich or at the end of your career so the threat doesn’t carry much weight).
Ann Coulter predicts the jury’s recommended sentence will be death.
I’m afraid to say that’s not far from the truth.
Here’s the ironic part of all of this Trump stuff. If he would have just decided to be a moral man, keep his junk in his trousers and stay away from the porn star in the first place…..well…..you get the picture.
He met her at a celebrity golf tournament. He interacted with lots of people that day.
There is nothing except her word that says his contact with her was anything more than social.
How was he supposed to protect himself from someone making up a story about him for money?
Whether he had any kind of sexual liaison with her or not, the junk case plays out the same.
I thought it was substantiated that he had plowed the porn star and then paid her the hush money. I wasn’t aware that that had not been substantiated. The radio guys were wrong this morning then.
He paid her to shut up, on advice of his attorney. That is not a crime.
The only evidence of the two of them having sex is her claiming that it did.
He’s supposed to have recorded the payments wrongly, which is where the fraud comes in.
There was also something about trying to influence the election, I think, but it’s too confusing.
Don’t all people running for office try to influence elections?
Notice that the people announcing the guilty verdicts could not for the most part name the crimes?
Why would you pay someone 6 figures to shut up if they didn’t have something damaging to say?
Trump’s poor judgement is front and center here.
When I was a radio disc jockey, we were warned about putting ourselves in similar situations and having the blowback hit the radio station.
My boss said “Do not bring me trouble!”
Trump brought it on himself with his extremely poor judgement and out of control ego and did it while his gorgeous wife was home with their 1 year old son. Then he can’t even beat the lame charges in court. Definition of loser.
“Why would you pay someone 6 figures to shut up if they didn’t have something damaging to say?
Trump’s poor judgement is front and center here. ”
She did have something damaging to say. Trump says she was lying but she was gonna say it anyhow.
She says, he says—she was obviously out for the dough. Then she reneged on the deal she made with . . . Cohen, or someone.
See ?
The whole thing’s ludicrous! – Trump didn’t properly categorize the hush $ he paid to porn star so that she wouldn’t publicize a ‘he said – she said’ affair… un-freaking-believable!! – btw, did old Stormy report the funds on her tax return under the category of ‘blackmail’? – And why isn’t she being prosecuted for the crime of blackmail?
No, Islander, I don’t see.
Using your argument, every single person at that golf tournament or any other “function” Trump attends could claim they had sex with him and he would pay them off even though they were lying.
Stormy was the only one to get paid off – that we know of. There has to be something to the accusation to get paid.
What is ludicrous is that Trump is not smart enough to guard against such accusations. He puts himself in the position to have to pay hush money.
What’s also ludicrous is the state of the justice system in this country. This is blatant, banana republic law fare and absurd from start to finish. Trump is so inept he couldn’t prove that in court.It didn’t start with Biden – Trump got impeached for a phone call. That wasn’t the Biden DOJ, that was the swamp rats Trump decided to keep in place instead of “draining” when he was playing 12-D chess and keeping his enemies closer or some such nonsense.
The man is a double digit IQ moron with an ego the size of Texas. What happened in that courtroom yesterday is what we can expect nonstop should he ever hold office again. Trump is playing his role.
CO, they (theoretically) could but they didn’t. Every other person there wasn’t a whore who wanted to sell a story. Some of them were men, in fact.
Celebrities pay people to go away all the time. You just don’t hear about it, because they don’t renege on their deals.
He didn’t want the bad publicity at a time when he was hoping to become president.
He attended a celebrity golf tournament with probably hundreds of other people.
How is that stupidly putting himself in harm’s way?
It’s what he did for a living, marketing his brand.
CO, it’s easier to pay a homely woman with big tits $150k to shut up than it is to tie up yourself and your lawyers in court for months litigating a bullshit story. And that’s basically all this bitch is: a lying, conniving golddigger out to make a name for herself. Now, Karen McDougall — when she was a Playboy centerfold 25 years ago, she was one hot piece of ass. Rumors exist of her bedding actors, and I wouldn’t doubt them. But nothing concrete exists other than a relationship with Bruce Willis. What are the odds that she got paid off by the guys she did? And btw, why wasn’t she called as a prosecution witness to prove Trump paid her off, too, when they got into all kinds of filth about Trump and the tattooed whore (whose story, btw, contradicted much of her previous legal statement)? If you’re trying to establish a pattern of behavior, you can’t say one event establishes the pattern. Unless, of course, you’re in the Shithole on the Hudson.
Right. And if Hitler hadn’t arisen, the Globalists wouldn’t be trying to eliminate all nations and the White race.
You don’t get contingency. They are flexible in their strategies and tactics but unmoving in their goals. If Hitler hadn’t arisen, they would have come up with another reason to get rid of us. If Trump hadn’t mounted horse face, they would have gotten him for his bad colleges or not paying his workers.
With so many fucking Federal, state and local laws on the books in this Country they could get every one of us on something. I heard somewhere or read somewhere that the average American commits 3 crimes per day without knowing it. Don’t know how true that is but it makes sense.
“With so many fucking Federal, state and local laws on the books in this Country they could get every one of us on something.”
Yes. I grow tired of the “volunteer-firefighter-with-the-F150-and-tight-tucked-in-jeans / muh constitution” types who blather endlessly about “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” There isn’t a legal scholar in the country who knows 10% of all of the federal, state, local laws, not to mention all of the local, state, and federal directives, rules, and regulations that come from pseudo-governmental agencies, etc.
don’t speak to us of laws, we come with swords
@Beryl, I think she was being sarcastic in that deadpan way she has. The trouble is that irony and satire don’t work anymore because they’re inevitably too much like reality.
I’ve heard that the doe-eyed beauty Gov. Hochul is preparing paperwork for a full pardon. She feels bad for all the “clowns” that support Trump.
Son, you need to see an opthalmologist!
Trump ain’t going to win no matter how much you wish for payback. He is a crazy narcissist with no entourage or backup. Biden may be brain dead but he has the 5000 plus entourage to govern the land. Nobody competent wants to associate themselves with Trump. So it’s 4 more years of status quo. 5% will grab more wealth at the expense of everyone else. A few scraps thrown to the fringe here and there and a march towards bankruptcy. Ukraine is more competent then nato with our toys and will continue to slaughter the hordes of morons thrown into that hell scape. I think NATO will slowly ramp up and provide them with what they need. There won’t be any nuclear strikes in next 3 months but I do expect some accidents to begin occurring in Europe and USA then counter strikes in Russia. This may escalate to an incursion into Baltic states by Fall which could lead to a direct armed conflict. That will of course be timed with the Taiwan invasion and first strikes across our Pacific assets. Then pucker up because things just got interesting. That’s inevitable no matter what old fool occupies the White House.
If Trump is the “old fool” that occupies the White House, you are wrong, none of this would happen. Trump knows how to deal with people and stand up to threats so that he (i.e. the USA) comes out the winner. His business acumen and excellent personality is what makes him the optimal candidate in this election.
The fact of the matter is that Ol Slo Joe knows he cannot win fair and square at the ballot box. Hence all of the lawfare they are waging all across the land. If Biden was half the man he claims to be, he would issue a full pardon for Trump and leave it up to the people on Election Day to decide.
The party is just starting for the Judge and Biden…….look for them to inflict max pain as that was the whole idea from the beginning…
They have alot of runway till appeal and will use every inch of it to destroy DJ…sending Trump to jail even for a day will have Judge Merchant immortalized in the blob Hall Of Fame…..
How do you make a shittthole great again?…..
You don’t make a shithole great again. You bury it and dig a new one. That’s what needs to happen to the great American shithole. It needs to be buried and a new one constructed.
That may be what’s going to happen, Cankerpuss. If the Juan de Fuca subduction plate moves in the wrong direction by a few degrees, it’ll trigger a tsunami that’ll reach to the Mississippi. Nearly the entire western half of the United States will be under water.
@Tuco22: Meh. The west coast is pretty damn mountainous. It might take out most of California, but it’s not getting over the Sierras.
The Central Pacific had a hard enough time plowing through the Sierras back in the 1860s whilst working on the Transcontinental Railroad.
Tucco, I am in Utah sitting at cozy perch of about 7,000 feet above elevation. Like Cactus said, the ocean would have to come over 10,000 – 14,000 Sierra Nevada and then storm through all of Nevada’s basin and range mountains and then climb up the beginnings of the Rocky Mountains in Utah to inundate the west. I don’t think that is going to happen. The low lying costal plains might be done in by a tsunami.
This ‘country’ needs to be disbanded and broken into six or seven NEW countries (red, blue, mainly rural, mainly urban, etc) each of which can do business and ally with whom they want. AMERIKA IS DEAD. The US$ is DEAD or rapidly dying, depending on which measuring system you use. Everyone needs to face these facts. The America you grew up in NO LONGER EXISTS. Thinking it exists or that it can be remedied/restored is DELUSIONALITY. Does anyone here really think that voting makes a damn given what we’ve seen in the past and the evil with which the left will go to gain and RETAIN power? If anyone says YES, you need to get your doctor to prescribe an SDA (serotonin dopamine antagonist) for your psychosis. The you’ll be happier.
You’re right neurodoc. The republic has fallen.
Biden being a man and pardoning Trump?
An I thought I was day dreamer hoping DC and NYC got nuked.
Those were STATE convictions, not Federal. Only the governor of NY can pardon…..and she might do it so as to deny Trump his day of vindication in the appellate process and to prevent the deliberate fixes from being exposed when the convictions are overturned.
Hochol will claim she pardoned Trump “for the good of our Demoocracy” and other such bullshit so that Dems get to (A) Brand Trump as a convicted felon, (B) Humiliate Trump as a man who was pardoned, but never vindicated on appeal, and (C) Try to blunt the backlash against the Democrat Kangaroo Kourt Lawfare show trial by “showing mercy” to Trump.
Just watch and see.
This is exactly their game plan.
Sounds legit, Wiz.
Trump knows how to deal with people? More than 75% of his prior staff said he was crazy and would never work with him again. You need thousands to run the presidency and Trump can’t get 30 including his family members to sign up. He is nothing more than a cult of personality and the sheen is fading fast. His cognitive decline is accelerating and he and Joe may be next to each other in the dementia wing. That would be a fitting end and punishment for both of them IMO. Joe means status quo. That’s what the non fringe want. 70% of America
If the current America we’ve been living in these past 4 years is considered the “status quo” then I want no part of it. Give me anything but!
Trump is ready now to take back our country. See Project2025.org to learn more. Shouldn’t you be on Threads?
Trump was the peace candidate in 2016. He is just another war candidate now. He’s for staying the course and getting it done in both Ukraine and Gaza.
There’s no reason to vote for him. He’s obviously controlled opposition – at least at this point.
And does anyone really believe he’s going to deport 20 million illegals?
Will wonders never cease?
I agree with Jarek.
Trump is owned by the Tribe.
He and RFK Jr. will be vying to sink lower on their knees and touch their foreheads to ground before Zion. A horrible joke on the American people.
Jarek is spot on here. Trump is a symptom of a very sick and corrupted political system. He’s NOT the cure.
Being a fringe wingnut yourself, you wouldn’t recognize what non-fringe actually looks like if it walked up and bitch slapped you across your idiotic puss!
Hey, I resemble that!
You H2 are the only pen here writing about Trump in something like an objective fashion. It’s rather odd that the obvious is hardly ever spoken about w/ re: to Dumb Don.
Just for a moment stop, pause, take a deep breath. Now, just think for a moment about how Trump acts. Especially lately. He fumes and glares and exclaims, he acts outraged about what is already yesterday’s news, he has no plan.
Trump has no idea of what to do. Just like in December 2020 when Flynn and Byrne and Sidney told him what he needed to do to foil the Democrats steal. He thought about it for a minute, agreed and then he aides walked in and fucked the whole thing up.
Instead he calls all his MAGA supporters to come to D.C. on January 6th in a show of support for him. It said, and I quote, “It will be wild”. Look it up.
Well it was ‘wild’ alright. And it played right into the hands of the enemy. Now those people can think. They can plan. They can keep their eyes on the ball.
But Dumb Don? nope. If there was ANY one else available to run for President, people would have ignored Don a long time ago. He’s just lucky as usual in that he has no real challengers.
Listen to RFK, Jr. sometime. Is he wrong? yeah. But he can think and reason and keep his mind on track. He can think circles around Dumb Don and Dementia Joe. If only he was a Constitutional conservative. But he really is an Old Time Democrat back when that wasn’t crazy, it was just wrong.
No my friends. Here’s the deal. We have placed our hopes for saving this Republic on a guy who is not capable of knowing how to be a politician and a patriot. He’s got the patriot part down but he’s hopeless as a politician.
And being a politician is not a dirty word. You need SOME ability to understand politics. That doesn’t mean you have to be a crook. It means knowing how to get things done in a government office.
H2power
I guess there have been people I’ve seen on the internet who have made more outlandish claims without rendering any evidence – I just can’t remember them.
H2power – the unrealistic nature of the name perhaps portrays all we need to know.
So, one needs an entourage to win an election? I don’t think you understand politics very well.
Ukraine is more competent than NATO with our toys? WTF.
That’s inevitable no matter what old fool occupies the White House?
Put the bong down and back away from the keyboard.
I read just the other day that Europe is instituting a draft for troops for Ukraine. Since we already have “advisors” there, it’ll just be a matter of time before we, too, institute a draft to send troops to Ukraine, for democracy, you know.
Shades of Vietnam.
Few want to serve in the military. A draft to fight an illegal unnecessary war in Ukraine would be immensely unpopular. I don’t see that happening any time soon.
It’ll happen, Cankerpuss, especially if old Joe gets up there on national TV and makes a plea for “democracy.” We all know how democrats love democracy. I mean, he’s got to do something with all these college graduates for whom there are no jobs in the greatest economy in the history of the United States. Ditto all those illegal de facto citizens who likewise will get sucked up into the military, after the census, of course, and after they’ve voted. That way, Joe will have gotten their votes and he won’t have to come up with housing or healthcare for them. Neat, sweet and petite.
Plus it eliminates thousands of “useless eaters.” Oh I am sure they will try because in their filthy eyes there are many benefits to war.
The only people who want to enter Joe Biden’s woke military are mentally I’ll trannies seeking free sex change operations courtesy of the Pentagon budget.
The mic can’t get volunteers now. I have informed all family and friends with draft aged family members that they should resist and refuse to comply. Still, you can’t fix stupid and some may comply anyway. To use an analogy from the sport of boxing, America is on the ropes and will wind up on the canvas if the public doesn’t wake up and put a stop to this shit show.
Well, those that will are those that will.
Half the public support this shit show!
Draft women this time. We’re all equal? So it’s time for them to prove it.
Amen! Women want to do what men do? Draft them. Women want to be men? Draft them. Women think they don’t need men? Draft them.
But it won’t happen. You know it as well as I do. They want equal pay and equality every where else but when it comes to taking a bullet between the eyes they will run away screaming that they are women and they are not meant for war.
War is basically a guy thing.
In spite of that, the US military has plenty of women in its ranks.
Women who “want to do what men do” when it comes to serving in the military are already doing so.
Other than a few mentally ill ones, I don’t know any women who want to be men, and neither do you.
What has equality got to do with getting shot in the head?
Sure, Ber. But women have no qualms about enjoying the fruits of the Conquest, eh?
As Alba says of people like this: Hypocrites.
I would certainly have objections to sharing the fruits of conquest. Defence is not conquest. You can have my share of the fruits of conquest – I’ll just eat less and turn the heating off.
And, since I have never asked to be a man, my hypothetical younger self will not be signing up for the front. Although I stand in awe of women like Violette Szabo, who went to France to help the Resistance and was shot in the head at Ravensbruck at the age of 23, leaving her 3-year-old daughter (her husband had already been killed – she accepted the mission for him).
All Americans share the fruits of the Conquest. It’s quite a bit more nuanced in Britain, since there were so many conquests, with conquerors becoming the conquered. All of them were White so they could ultimately mix and match, though obviously not without much pain and passage of time.
As Islam takes over o’er there, things will become far less nuanced and far more like the existential either/or. Fight, or become a dhimmi slave. Or give in and convert.
We’re putting all our chips on the New Model Army, which consists of Tranny Battalions and Divisions of illegal aliens.
The Lady who’s the Sec. of the Army, and Sec. Austin, assure us illegals & Trannies make the best soldiers. Young White men will be sitting this one (war) out.
I do think that the 7 million illegal aliens of military age are somewhere right now, getting training.
It is my firm belief that they looked around at the military aged American men they have trained to be blithering idiots from birth, and decided to just move on and start over with hungry third worlders.
If they serve one day, they are eligible to apply for citizenship immediately.
They could be voting by November.
Some dems in congress want to give these 7 million illegals citizenship if they join the US military. Now that’s a pleasant thought.
I think they are already somewhere getting training.
This war with Russia has been planned for a long time.
Remember in 2016, after Trump had won and foiled their plans for war with Russia, Obama kicked out a bunch of Russian diplomats and stole their property, making them stand out on the tarmac in the snow waiting for their plane. They were not allowed to wait in the terminal.
Putin responded by having American diplomats to a Christmas party. Now, that is class.
Then Obama sent thousands of troops to Norway and Lithuania, in order to provoke Russia, but also Trump, who could not remove them without having the Mighty Wurlitzer scream in fury.
Then they impeached Trump because they said that he held up weapons to Ukraine.
They want this war.
This talk in Congress about making them citizens “if” they join the military?
This is cover for what they are already doing.
It’s like the US now announcing that they will let “Ukraine” target Russians in Russia.
What the hell was the bombing at the Christmas market in Belgorod? They killed 17 Russians civilians.
And the bombing of the apartment building in March? They killed 30, I think it was.
And the murder of 100 people in Moscow. That one they blamed on the ISIS puppets, instead of the Nazi puppets, but we all know who controls ISIS and Kiev.
Plus, they turned out to be working together.
But now we are told that, for the first time, “Joe Biden” has deliberated very studiously, and has made the decision to let Americans use US missiles to attack Russia.
Already been there, done that.
Paula – what makes you think the illegals are somewhere getting training? Intuition? Gut instinct? Any other sources?
Mostly gut feeling, Ron. How do you disappear 7 million men, unless they are on a base somewhere?
And the mayor of Washington, DC. said that there was a plan for them.
Also, Alba saying that they are doing the same thing in Scotland, except that someone blew the whistle there.
They all disappear once they come over the border. That has baffled me for a long time.
The “news” shows us miles of “refugees” trudging through Mexico, but has anyone ever seen them trudging along US roads?
No, they immediately disappear. Sure, some token women and children end up in the cities, highly publicized, but not millions.
Ron … The source I heard, although it was second hand, was that whistleblowers from the Black Watch regiment had contacted the lawyer and military vet, Anna de Buisseret, to claim that they were training troops in Turkey, on behalf of the UN, and the young men concerned were being mingled with migrants coming to the UK (mostly across the Channel these days). Apparently they are initially recognisable by their haircuts! Anyway, loads of hotels in the UK have been requisitioned by the government to house ‘migrants’. Some may be migrants; some may be covert military … There are those who think it will be these who will be used to go door to door to do forced vaxxing at some point.
I don’t know – this is hearsay at this point, but it seems to be a thing over your way too.
John O’Looney, the whistle-blowing funeral director, has been talking about it in interviews. He’s a friend of Anna de B., because they were both in a delegation of scientists and others (including Mike Yeadon and Tess Lawrie) who went to Westminster to speak to Sir Graham Bradie about vaxx harms.
The War is here and they want to send us over there to be slaughtered. It makes sense from their pov, not ours.
If all get their hair cut in true nutshell fashion, then it will be as if they are one, and perhaps will be.
The hopeful part of me, H2power, thinks you are wrong. However, the realist part of me thinks you are spot on.
Trump is finished. He’s done. He needs to get the hell out of America and disappear. He needs to leave America to her own devices. To rot in the decay of bankruptcy as the world awakens to the ponzy scheme that is the US Dollar.
“full faith and credit of the American people.”
$95 trillion. That is the estimated total amount of debt in America today. Public, private, bonds, etc. THAT DOESN’T GET PAID BACK! The only way out is insolvency or the creation of trillion dollar Federal Reserve notes and that leads to the Weimar Republic.
We are busted. Broke. The experiment is done. The founders gave us a good start and our progenitors squandered it in the name of greed, lust and POWER.
Yes, I agree. Trump should leave this cursed country, and it is cursed, and salvage what’s left of his life. He gave it his best shot, but the deck was too stacked against him, and the misbegotten hold all the reins.
Trump should leave the country and setup a government in exile. Then he calls for the red states to secede.
Yes, the two parties are engaged in illicit copulation, and some Phineas Priest should pin them to the earth with his spear.
But alas, Trump is no such priest. He’s controlled Opp. I bet he won’t get jail time at all.
@H2power: Biden lacks any gravitas. He either mumbles or he shouts.
Lady Justice may be blind but she can still smell the ham sandwich
this is why I am reluctant to vote. If the Deep State would do that to Trump. What would they do to me if I voted for him?
If they thought you were important enough to warrant their attention, they’d J6 you. We don’t have a functioning, constitutionally-based justice system in the United States anymore.
Edgar Steele made the mistake of sending his book to Mr Holder – whom he had faced in court previously.
He died in torment in the America Gulag on trumped up charges.
Exactly what they’ll do to you if you cower in your house instead of voting.
I don’t know why you think the outcome would be any different this time than it was last time. All of the players involved in the steal four years ago are still in their jobs and in office. None of them has been voted out of office. Nobody has been fired from their jobs. There was some democrat lemmng on the radio just yesterday who said he was going to vote for Biden again because basically Biden was the known and Trump the unknown, in other words, Biden represented to him “peace and safety” and Trump “chaos.” I don’t know how you’re going to overcome that. Basically the country has voted to decapitate itself. Let it. The system doesn’t work anymore.
Polls are still showing Trump and Biden are “neck and neck.”
You are right, Tuco22. Nothing has changed. Nothing. Not one damned thing.
Like I said in another post, I still know of many Americans taking 14 day trips to Hawaii that cost them more than $10,000. People who cannot afford to take these trips, but they do it anyway. I still see people selling a home that they can easily afford to buy a bigger, more expensive home across the street. I still see those people who just bought the $800,000 mini mansion driving around in $110,000 Chevy trucks pulling a toy hauler with two $50,000 side by sides behind their $120,000 fifth wheel RV.
As long as the credit keeps flowing everything is good for these Americans. They give no thought to what awaits them. All they care about is getting more, getting more and getting more. Who gives a fuck if they will never get out of debt.
There never comes a reckoning for this decadent behavior. The basic laws of economics have been thwarted.
Yes, and the polls are total bullshit. Look at the crowd size at Trump rallies vs Biden rallies. An honest election is impossible.
Well, when those dollars come home to roost, and I just read yesterday that Thailand is joining the BRICS nations in dumping the dollar, those loans are going to either skyrocket or get called in, and that’s when the great divestment of assets will begin. That’s why all the secular economists have been advising people to get out of debt as much as possible.
Tuco – see The Great Taking, by David Rogers Webb – or JHK’s #390 Podcast with Webb. All encumbered assets will be taken – the final asset-stripping – as a prelude to the imposition of CBDC. Then it’s all over.
and now, Teddyboy, thanks to mail in ballots that have our address, name and require our signature they know how each and every one of us idiots have voted. Just think about that one for a few seconds and see where your mind takes you?
Correspondence with my invariably-blue Texas pals does not harp on the achievements or greatness of animatronic mummy “Joe Biden” but rather on the stupidity and ill-natured pigheadedness of the American people.
“How can they possibly vote for Trump?” goes the plaintive, puzzled wail.
I am reminded of a similar response when bland, already-doddering Leonid Brezhnev was appointed by the Politburo as First Secretary of the Communist Party, in 1964.
A great cry went up. “Him??”
Of all the manifold qualities lacking in the wooden Brezhnev, he had one outstanding virtue that made him a shoo-in: he was “…NOT KRUSHCHEV”. By this time all the power players were sick unto death of the blunt, oafish Nikita.
So just as, in desperation, they propped up Leonid Brezhnev on the basis of his “not-Khrushchev” quality, the Blues will hold their noses and avert their eyes as they pull the lever or stuff the box with the ever-more-pathetic, grinning “JB”, simply by virtue of his being “NOT TRUMP”.
That’s exactly it. How pathetic, that they’d rather get screwed financially than vote for Trump, just because he’s Trump. I’d say they deserve everything they get, but the rest of us will get it, too.
There is no reason to change yet, SpeedyBB. People are still going to Hawaii for two week vacations, still buying $800,000 single family homes and still driving around in luxury Chevy pick up trucks that cost $110,000. Things are still great and hunky-dory in America. Why should they not vote for “Joe Biden.”
Nobody will give a shit until they lost their debt laden never to be paid off lifestyle. As long as the credit continues flow they will continue to vote the same way they always have.
You’re right, @Cankerpuss, but there’s no question of the credit continuing to flow.It can’t go on, and anyone with half a brain knows that.
“October 29, 1929, “Black Tuesday” hit Wall Street as investors traded some 16 million shares on the New York Stock Exchange in a single day.”
But things were fine on October 28! At least, if you weren’t paying attention, they seemed to be fine.
In my own family, because they had no debt, owned property, and were firmly ensconced in the newspaper and printing business, they lived like kings during the Depression. This time around, the greatest advantage will go to those who didn’t give in to greed and the desire to own stuff they couldn’t pay for. They don’t actually own anything; they just don’t know it yet.
Rowdy, well said. I have long believed one of the best way to be prepared for what awaits us is to stay out of debt. Long have I lived debt free. No mortgage. No credit cards. No car loans. I live in a smaller but comfortable starter home, drive a 2007 Toyota Tacoma and a 2005 Corolla and have a 1968 Camaro that is my prized possession. I own these things. Well, at least as long as I pay my property taxes that is! Ha. Wait a minute. I don’t own a damned thing. The Governments own it all.
Revolutionary Rebalancing
While I agree with your ‘life is still good for enough people’, I’m unsure your stay-out-of-debt thing is agreed with, even though I realize that it’s been pounded by TPTB into our skulls for a long time.
While I’m fine with people paying off their debts, I’m unsure it has to apply to everyone equally and in every context, such as if there’s a sudden debt jubilee; a change in economics brought on by a new currency/economic system; a tax/debt revolt; a bad lender/creditor; or a flat-out ‘sociopoliteconomic’ revolution against a dystopia that’s racking up its own off-the-book debts against the general population it illegitimately claims to control.
Debts are of course not just about money and/but can be leveraged as a form of ‘revolutionary rebalance’.
Recall your math and how some equations can cancel each other out.
You might owe me, but maybe I owe you if I somehow made your life worse through no fault of your own. Should I expect you to nevertheless pay off your debts to me?
‘taking debt hostage’
‘using debt as a bargaining chip’
And this mechanical either/or process based on superficial likes and lies is called “thinking”. Not for nothing did the Founders warn against factions.
The revenge factor comes into play next week. Hunter hits the courtroom, and on felony gun charges, much worse than bookkeeping errors.
Watch and see how powerful the Deep State is as he gets the charges dismissed or attenuated. We are definitely going to get a picture of exactly how far down the judicial toilet we have descended.
I still feel JHK is too optimistic here in his last paragraph. My argument is predicated on the seemingly unlimited power the Deep State has right now. Think about it, an obviously biased judge has the keys to Trump’s cell after millions have been spent getting him convicted. Think about the target of the whole thing, to get him away from his rallies, to stop the Bronx style gung hoism. The judge can stop him, do you think that Biden’s mob will stop with a slap on the wrist?
Also, way too much faith in the American public today. It is not our grandpa’s public, not even close. it is a gang of pandering gimmes that will do anything to keep the tit of government open. The population will feed the power structure of the Left, and there will be no outcry against Trump’s eventual demise as we slide ever Leftward.
Except on Fox, Newsmax, OAN maybe.
SO how is it at GOP headquarters this morning? Do we trust that Merchan is going to be a nice guy and let the one anti-Deep State candidate to stay in charge?
Hahahahahaha!
Think about the next step in the plan if the trials do not “get” Trump off the campaign trail.
Garland’s revenge now,
Assassination if need be.
It may be time for Trump to “retire” and head to Mar-A-Lago.
This country no longer deserves him anyway.
If I were DJT I’d hold a press conference and I’d take my place at the stand in front of the wide array of microphones. I’d take a moment to stare into the many cameras and then I would slowly raise my right hand, raise my middle finger and boldly say, “fuck you, America. I gave you my all and you spit it right back in my face. You deserve what you are about to get.” I’d then walk away from the microphone, board my private jet, fly to my private island and then spend the remainder of my days left on this planet playing with my grand children.
I never thought Trump could solve what ails America as the problems are too great for one man to fix. But I always admired him. What they are doing to him now is beyond comprehension. I never thought I would behold this kind of political retribution in America. It clearly demonstrates to me that this Country is corrupted beyond all repair. Add to that that there is no longer any leadership, not statesmen like gorgeous George Washington and suddenly, like a hammer to the thumb, the realization of the awful situation we are in comes home fast.
If there is a God, I plead to God to please do something.
I’m probably going to get censured for this one but I’m going to say it anyway. It seems like most of the political retribution Trump is receiving is from black people in positions of power.
Africa is what Africa is because black people don’t have the ability to comprehend higher laws and morality. It’s not within their genetic make up. They are cannot govern themselves.
Lincoln wanted to send them back to Africa and put them in their own country. I wish they would have. These people lack the spiritual understanding of things being greater than themselves. They understand only war and power.
Just saying….
“These people ”
CP,
Some, many most…never all.
Very true. Correction noted. I should have said “Most of them lack the spiritual understanding of things greater than themselves.”
While there are always exceptions to the rule, blacks in general seem to reach for the low-hanging fruit. They do not as a rule go for careers or jobs that require a certain level of education or a long period of time in which to become proficient, like electricians or plumbing or HVAC or carpentry. That’s why they seem to be little represented in those fields, not because those fields intentionally exclude them. As far as governing themselves, I honestly don’t know of a single successful African country, except maybe for Nigeria. Libya was before we let Muamar get killed.
These “black people in positions of power” aren’t in charge. Don’t forget about the unseen people who are organizing the lawfare. Bragg, Fani, and that other woman (can’t remember her name) were chosen to head up their respective prosecutions so that any criticism could be called racist.
The DEI judges are mostly black women from immigrant backgrounds.
Obama was just gloating about how many people like this “Biden” has put into place.
Diversity judge Merchan doesn’t appear to be too swift in the brains department. It’s not the color, it’s the politics.
I thought immigrants had to pass a test on the Constitution.
Many immigrants I have met seem to be more up on those thing than native-born Americans.
And north African nations are not like southern African nations. Many of these were colonized by the Romans, Persians and Muslims. Ancient Egyptian empires were of whitish people, not of black Africans. The ancient Egyptians were known to kill on sight any black person that wandered into Egyptian territory. Truly African nations are always in a state of civil war because of one corrupt tribe and warlord warring against another corrupt tribe and warlord. Now we have many of the descendants of many of those in our own Government wreaking the same havoc that we see in those African hellholes.
I don’t know if that’s true, but it often appears that way. Genetics plays a role, without a doubt, and we don’t arrive with a blank slate. Anyone who has been around infants and toddlers knows that we enter this world with some fixed characteristics and inclinations that cannot be changed, although they can be guided into channels that are more or less in keeping with civilized behavior.
What I do know for a certainty is that there are truths that the present culture would not accept and would be forbidden to speak of, even if they could be proven beyond the least possibility of doubt. We’re seeing an example of that in the attempts (often successful) of trans supporters to prevent the statement of biological facts and to punish those who persist in stating them.
Our culture is obsessed with both equity and equality. If any set of people were proven beyond a doubt to be mentally or in some other way inferior, the punishment for saying so would be dire and the proof would soon disappear. This, of course, doesn’t apply to white people, who are fair game now.
Liberals and black people pointedly refuse to admit that blacks are responsible for a disproportionate amount of criminal behavior, violence in particular. The statistics don’t matter, and anyone who points to them is attacked. As long as we hold the belief that there are potential truths that could never be acknowledged, the culture is built on our wililngness to deceive and be deceived. It’s particularly absurd to suggest that we could, under these circumstances, have that “honest conversation” that’s ludicrously alluded to.
“Blacks are pretty patriotic” – Beryl
Ber is trying to play the immigrant card here. Our Blacks are fine, right Ber? They just get bad press…..
Think about all of the vast empires that previously dotted the Earth.
Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians weren’t black people. They killed the blacks when they entered their territory.
Assyrian. Not black
Babylonian. Not black.
Rome. Not black.
Greece. Not black.
Ottoman. Persian.
Spain. Not black.
Britain. Not black.
Russia. Not black
American. Not black.
I cannot think of one great civilization or empire that was started by the black race that thrived for hundreds of years. It is not in their mental capacity to live in peace or to improve their lots in life.
Granted, some black people buck the trend and try to live by white man’s rules, to get along in the system. They are automatically labeled as Uncle Toms by other blacks.
All men have equal rights, that I believe. But not all men are equal.
Having an average IQ ONE FULL standard deviation lower than the average of the dominant society says everything that needs to be said. Too bad most people (schooled or not) don’t/can’t understand this reality and its full implications. IQ is real and it matters; we’ve just been taught, esp. by the public schools and woke colleges, to ignore it as a ‘racist’ residual historical concept.
We’ve all just seen how abysmally stupid people with supposedly high IQs can be, with the covid hoax.
“They are cannot [ unable to? ] govern themselves.”
“It is not within man that walks to direct his own steps”.
Carnal man [ aw-dawm ] is no better, but fortunately we have been guided by the Creator God to fulfill the promises He made to our ancestors, which include gathering them “one of a family and two of a village” and bringing them to the “Isles” and the “Wilderness” and there writing HisLaws on our hearts. Even unbelievers have prospered under these conditions.
If everyone is out of what is now called Africa, then everyone is likely ‘black under the hood’, and so was, ‘over the hood’.
Much of what IQ is used for is bunk and I’ve supported this contention here before– for those here who missed it. People who are still echoing its nonsense might see fit to take a look, or second look, at their own intelligence– which IQ doesn’t actually mean.
Herr Doc: Pure blooded Black Africans are two standard deviations below us. Researchers were initially shocked and embarrassed on their behalf. It had to be a mistake! But nope, repeated testing how shown the same thing: 70. Retarded by our standard. Some areas are a bit higher, but even more are a bit lower – into the 60’s.
“In the United States, the IQ gap between black and white people was gradually closing over the last decades of the 20th century, as black test-takers increased their average scores relative to white test-takers. For instance, Vincent reported in 1991 that the black–white IQ gap was decreasing among children…
Similarly, a 2006 study by Dickens and Flynn estimated that the difference between mean scores of black people and white people closed by about 5 or 6 IQ points between 1972 and 2002, a reduction of about one-third. In the same period, the educational achievement disparity also diminished. Reviews by Flynn and Dickens, Mackintosh, and Nisbett et al. all concluded that the gradual closing of the gap was a real phenomenon.
Flynn has commented that he never claimed that the Flynn effect has the same causes as observed differences in average IQ test performance between blacks and whites, but that it shows that environmental factors can create IQ differences of a magnitude similar to that gap. Flynn also argued that his findings undermine the so-called Spearman’s hypothesis, which hypothesized that differences in g factor are the major driver of the blacks-whites IQ gap.” ~ Wikipedia
Washington? We don’t even have statesmen like Franklin Pierce!
Don’t worry about God. He’ll make sure we’ll get what we deserve.
Hell, I’d take Calvin Coolidge, one of the most conservative and underrated presidents of our history.
Hey I knew Silent Cal’s son. Lived right down the street, a great old guy..
Franklin Pierce was a great man.
Statesmen like Franklin Pierce?!
I hope not Bob.
He was a hopeless alcoholic and died of cirrhosis of the liver.
He has the smallest, least visited grave of all the presidents.
Franklin Pierce was a great and brave man. When the tyrant Lincoln was invading and pillaging the South, as well as several border states, not in rebellion, Pierce held audiences outside of his home and denounced America’s First Dictator. Lincoln became enraged and ordered Pierce to be arrested. Edwin Stanton, knowing that Lincoln was unhinged and the crisis that arresting an ex-president would cause, prevented it from happening.
Pierce was a true, fine Copperhead and a great statesman. He risked his life to tell the world that the US had been taken over by a despot.
Great. I bring up a mediocrity in order to make a point, and it starts an argument about both him and Lincoln. I guess next time I’ll just go with Andy Jackson, Woodrow “Bigot with a Stick in the Ass” Wilson, LBJ, or either Roosevelt.
Old Bob,
You brought up who Houghton Mifflin, James McPherson, and Doris Kearns Goodwin had told you was a “mediocrity” when, in fact, he was a great American hero. Break the bonds of the hackneyed court history that you learned in 1975. See, even in your advanced dotage, you can learn something. You’re welcome. Buy me a drink next time you see me.
Gore Vidal: The three most depressing words in the English language: Joyce Carol Oates. Or could we transpose and say Doris Kearns Goodwin?
The deep state has one thing the opposition does not have. The media. The media has blood on their hands and they are covered in deep red. Their lies, their twisting of the truth, their pushing aside vital facts and information have resulted in a brainwashed, stupid people who don’t know what is truth anymore.
If we had a media that did nothing more than just tell the people the truth and the facts this country would be a vastly different place.
Trump is going to Rikers. These filthy democrats are as predictable as the sun rising in the morning.
Those in the media who have perpetuated this wickedness will rot in hell for the lies and the damage they have spread.
CP – Fortunately social media has expanded greatly over the last 4 years, led by X, and people are able to get their information from sources other than the main stream media. That is a positive and may save us.
I recently got suspended from X for wishing Biden would have a stroke. That went against their community standards.
Contact Elon, I’m sure he’ll work to get that suspension revoked.
Dear Puss, I’ve said it before, you just said it again.
The key is the news. There are still way too many people getting their news from “the news”. Like my wife (bless her pea-pickin’ heart).
She thinks the greatest danger threatening the United States today is white supremacists! Number one!
I gave up trying to talk to her years ago. Now I just walk in while she’s listening to her news like a good little American, and walk back out. No comment.
I fear you’re right, John AZ. There will be no outcry against any of it. It’ll just be what it always is, no matter how they’re screwed: crickets.
The problem, Jim, is the people are so divided themselves that they have lost all grasp on reality. Most Americans don’t give a flying fuck about the United States of America. Most care more about their political party or their “tribe.” Democrats think party only. Republicans think party only. Few there be in positions of power who think best for the Country.
If only there was a George Washington. He was the only man I know of that turned down becoming the first official American monarch in favor of returning to Mount Vernon to grow crops.
It’s all about political party now.
It’s too bad we can’t wager bets on how the Democrats will behave. They are so fucking predictable on everything. They don’t think for themselves. They all act the same way on the same issues and say the same damned thing. It’s group think on atomic steroids. I was not in the slightest surprised by this conviction.
And the Republicans are the planned vocal opposition, nothing more.
Amen to the United States of America. This shithole of a country is going to get what it deserves. I hope Jim is right and that one day we will wake up to find that Washington DC and New York City have been vaporized by a well placed Russian nuke. It won’t happen but I can at least day dream.
Yeah, I’m pissed. Not because of what the Democrats are doing and the Republicans are no doing but because the majority of the American people just don’t give a damn as their fake freedoms get flushed down the toilet.
CankerPuss
Disagree with two points.
It is not Dem, vs. GOP any more. It is uniparty, Deep State, federal government in control, totalitarian raw power against Trump, period.
They just may have taken him out, even RFK, Jr is saying it.
Second, the people are not bright enough as a group any more to have a representative country. this trial is proof positive, the jury did not have a clue what the case was all about. Biased, with a judge who guided them to their judgement.
Trump never stood a chance, just as much as the country as a representative, election based, division of power entity does not stand a chance.
A real question is why? Why do these socialists want a dictatorship of government? What is in it for them? I believe it is ignorance of the people that drives what we are seeing.
JohnAZ, I don’t disagree with your points. All of what you have said is valid, IMO.
I don’t think it is Democrat vs. Republican anymore as the uniparty is in control of it all. However, in the minds of the American people the tribalism mentality is overpowering their ability to rationalize what is going on in the Country today. People can’t betray their tribes and the tribes have names. Democrat. Republican. Libertarian. Independent. American is no longer a tribe to be considered.
And yet all American “tribes” fight amongst themselves in trying to outdo one another in their blind support of The Tribe.
Strange that.
OG, I do not believe that America has a The Tribe any more. I cannot see, with the diversity hatred that is becoming deeper and deeper, how anybody can resurrect The Tribe again.
Balkanization, let’s just get on with it.
Whoosh!
The best thing that can happen is the 100% failure of the dollar, deadly social chaos as it’s never been seen before in history, and the final crackup and dissolution of the United States. Things will get so bad that the illegal aliens all pack their bags and go back home. The survivors of the calamity live a rather primitive and tough lifestyle similar to how we occupied the land in the late 1800’s. We won’t need to worry about defending ourselves from foreign aggression, the other countries on this planet will simply ignore the shithole place known as “North America”. We’ll be just like Africa or South America, a collection of poor soverign nations that routinely fight with other just as all the native American tribes fought.
One more thing – the very worst thing that could happen is the USA is completely destroyed coast to coast by a hail of thermonuclear bombs. We won’t be just a shithole after that – we’ll just be a radioactive hole enjoying a “nuclear winter”. The great reset into a stone age existence with all goods and weapons once again being made by hand.
A Dollar Collapse would do much more damage to the USA than a limited nuclear war. I read an excellent book, fiction for now, about this back in 2011. In this book the debit/credit cards we all rely on stop working at 7 a.m. By 11 or so grocery stores are being looted, and by around 2 in the afternoon, everything, everywhere has been looted and/or burned and people are shooting each other down in the streets. The US swiftly devolves back to the Stone Age. I think it was a fairly accurate portrayal of what would happen. If a mother with a baby and young children goes to the grocery store and is told 1) your money is no good here and 2) most of the food, diapers, formula etc. is already gone, and we don’t expect anymore shipments to come in, for the foreseeable future, what do you think would happen? I watched panic buying and empty store shelves when the COVID crisis started: that was real life, not a novel, and it was frightening. In a real crisis, in one of the most heavily armed nations on earth. . .what you say, “We’ll be just like Africa or South America, a collection of poor soverign nations that routinely fight with other just as all the native American tribes fought.” is very much a best-case outcome, and fairly unlikely. A mass die off, and survivors trying their best to get to, say, an 1850 standard of living is a much more probably outcome. Maybe in a century or two we might just get to where folks were in 1850, or maybe we would live like the American Indians, huddling in teepees and existing as hunter-gathers, with shamans/medicine men telling stories of how great things were before the Collapse.
Shut Down Kindle Edition
by W. R. Flynn . This book, published back in 2011, shows
“Things will get so bad that the illegal aliens all pack their bags and go back home.”
Well, GHog, they might go to someone’s home, maybe yours and mine. We now have millions of military age males with needs and wants just like everyone else’s. Will they be denied? Will they die of hunger and exposure, or will they take measures to survive?
WWJD? What Would Jarek Decide?
Blast effects and radiation will kill you, but do not fear “Nuclear Winter”. It is so improbable that you will see Unicorns, the Second Coming, or an Anarchist Utopia sooner. Nuclear Winter is only a vague theory. Krakatoa…now THAT can give you a chilly summer.
What blew my mind with covid was that all of the store shelves were not emptied, just the toilet paper and Lysol shelves.
Are you kidding me? Toilet paper and Lysol? Those are “essential” for survival?
We are doomed.
Paula that tp shortage started before the lockdowns and snowballed.
I think it was done on purpose to create a climate of fear.
Around here there were stores that you went in one day and everything was normal, the next day most of the meat was gone.
Not organic at all.
Groundhog
The BRICS++ crowd do not have to do squat, no bombs, nothing. They will just wait and watch the Deep State destroy America from within.
Obama said “Change”. No one understood what that change was. Well, some said he wanted European socialism for America, maybe that is true. Anyway, what we are observing right now is a direct result of the 2008 election.
Besides, who needs a bomb, Yellowstone may be ready to cook America’s goose.
I am waiting for the Chinese to make their Taiwan move before Russia finishes with Ukraine, America will have no idea how to handle a three direction war. I wonder if China invades Taiwan, will history call it day one of WW3.
OG, you and I both believe that 1963 was the start of the Deep State. I also believe that 2008 was the Deep State shifting into 3rd gear. Merchan’s debacle may be 4th.
The US recognizes Taiwan as part of China. China invading Taiwan is the same as the US invading Texas. It could happen, but why would it start WW3?
You are too caught up in Fox News Frenzy to even think about what you say.
Soetoro was doing the bidding of the Davos crowd. They’re devoted fascists, as exemplified by the Jew-hating Jew, currency destroyer, and actual Nazi collaborator, Ugly George Soros. Tying government and business together for the profit of the few at the expense of the many — it sounds like Germany and Italy in the 1930s, and it sounds a lot lime America today.
And yet, as wrong as the evil, corrupt uniparty is on EVERY issue (but one), they still got sending $26 bil of your new debt directly to Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo right, eh JAZ? No matter how awful they are in destroying America in every way, they are right to veto the UN repeatedly to give refuge to an accused war criminal, eh JAZ?
Cognitive dissonance is truly a baffling wonder to behold.
Hiya , BR.
Yes, the monarchs of Europe winked knowingly. A new Monarchy was in the making, all the idealistic rhetoric to the contrary. They gasped when Washington just walked away. He was serious.
And a deadly new Era was upon us. Both Pope and Jefferson Davis agreed in their correspondence: Yankee Capitalism was a dire threat to the world.
Perhaps Washington should have become King and passed it on to his son.
Washington had stepchildren, no kids of his own.
Behind all the mindless cheering, disaster awaits.
The Great Spectacle of American Democracy, played out in a kangaroo court.
A national embarrassment at the very least.
Embarrassing is a great word for it, izzy.
Just like having Biden wander around, lost, at international meetings, although they don’t seem to let him do that anymore.
Just like having trannies stand up and represent the US government.
The whole thing is just embarrassing.
Let me redirect some of my anger here for a moment, since the topic of white people was brought up anyway.
I give you this, from RFK, which is being praised by people who supported him anyway, as a great comeback:
“Robert Kennedy Jr. pushed back against Tim Pool after he was pressing Kennedy on saying he was celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead of Columbus Day in a speech last year.
“Let me tell you something, Tim. I respect you a lot, but I think what I’ve tried to do in this campaign is to not get sucked into culture war issues that I consider distractions. I think the big issues that we should be talking about, which you started with, is the fact that 57% of the people in this country cannot put their hands on a thousand dollars if there’s an emergency in their family, and if you are in that cohort and the engine light comes on in your car, it’s the apocalypse… and you’re gonna be circling a drain.
RFK Jr. continued, saying, “What BlackRock wants is for us to ignore the contribution they’ve made, and the Fed has made, and Wall Street’s made, and keep us fighting about Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I’m not feeding into that. These are economic issues, and that’s why I’m running. I’m not running to feed into culture war issues on either side. You can dispute these activists any way you want, I’m not gonna get involved in that issue.”
x.com/ChristianM_74/status/1795150005033930836
I submit that Kennedy was already involved in that issue, since he thought it important enough to mention it in a speech after he was already running for president, and included it by bringing some old grifter onstage with him at his speech announcing his VP pick.
I don’t consider it a distraction. I think it is important for me to know whether the man who would be my president thinks that my ancestors are thieves, and that Americans are living on stolen land.
I’ll be the judge of which issues matter, thank you.
As I already know that RFK Jr. supports Affirmative Action and reparations, identity politics, and I assume DEI being as he hasn’t talked about the scandals at our major universities, even Harvard, I find it an insult to my intelligence for him to suggest that I’m falling for what some global corporation wants me to focus on.
I can pay attention more than one thing at a time.
Here’s my idea – since RFK Jr. seems to care so very deeply about the indigenous people of America, the best thing he can do is get off of their property and go join his own people back in their homeland.
Maybe he can run for president there.
He can kick all the “settlers” out.
Start with Derry.
Well said. Whites are the native Americans since we created his nation. A nation is not a geographic locale. The Indians were just living here and in our way. They got moved.
They got “moved”?
What happened to the whole “they were in our way, so we killed them all” line you used to use so proudly?
Oh, that’s right. Now you’re on about the poor displaced Palis.
Can’t use that “they were in our way so we killed them and that’s the right thing to do” any more, can you?
So you’re for the Indians and against the White Americans in this, but against the Palis and for the Jewish invaders?
Total fool and hypocrite. Life without Principle. Add traitor since the White American are her people.
You would be the hypocrite, Jarek, as I just pointed out.
I don’t celebrate the deaths of the Palis, but you always celebrate and justify the deaths of the Indians.
What you did there? That is called “projection”.
The curse of the liberal: Not being able to take their own side. It mutates into taking the side of the enemy against their own people. Thus Paula takes the side of the Indians against Whites.
At least both the Palis and the Israelis are sane and take their own sides. Why we should pick a side is another question. Why do I pick a side? Because one side has taken over our country and exerts tyrannical and disastrous control over it.
The Native Americans lived like the Africans do. Constant wars between tribes. Indian nations battling against Indian nations. Unmitigated brutality. Then white man came along, failed to domesticate them, so they were moved.
They were mostly killed, Cankerpuss, and Jarek usually brags about it. You seem to be justifying it.
There were only 250,000 natives left in 1900, after a century of Indian wars.
You can be proud of it, or excuse it, or whatever you want, but denying it is unseemly.
And by Indian wars, I mean the wars against the Indians that took place as the US expanded across the continent in the 19th century, not your imaginary continent-wide wars between the tribes.
Plot twist: Putin responds to the U.S. missile attack by nuking Davos during the WEF meet-up. Well, one could only hope.
That would be an excellent start to getting rid of a lot of the rats all at once.
Try day dreaming. It’s fun! I day dream all the time but it never comes true. The elites continue to rampage all over everything and everyone and nobody there be to do anything about it.
Another suggestion:
The NATO nations are going to have Biden’s empire in Ukraine up to here, and just quit.
They will finally figure out who their real friend is and who will really send them resources. They will also figure out that the USA Greta bullshit is exactly that. The current regimes will be voted out and Russia will be asked into the EU. NATO will be abolished much to the chagrin of the Biden Empire.
Soon.
https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/05/russia-has-moved-11-nuclear-submarines-into-the-atlantic-ocean/
Between them all, they carry 1000 nuclear warhead or so. The Russian wolf pack.
It’s late in the day. The sky is a lurid red, which reflects off the snow. The exhausted, old Elk is surrounded by the wolf pack. Soon the snow will be be stained with a deeper shade of red.
Our “wolf pack” is out there too. The undetectability of the subs is the number one reason for the MAD decisions of 1991.
The missile subs have enough megatons to eradicate the opposing nation many times over. Both are extermination weapons. Nothing will be left.
Look up Poseidon and Trident.
Fun fact. The pier the US built in Gaza, that broke up and drifted away after a couple of weeks, was also named Trident.
They named the “peace pier” after a US nuclear weapon, which itself was named after the Greek god of stormy seas.
You just can’t make this shit up.
They obviously didn’t take the time and trouble to anchor the damn thing properly.
It’s a difficult job, they must not have had enough people with the right skills.
John can’t wait for the nuclear Rapture!
Just for the record and to help direct your prayers, jury nullification has been abandoned because we the people remain ignorant or have forgotten or the idea has been symbolized into something evil [ from the point of a collectivist ] as if the whole idea of a jury trial is to explicity examine the law itself FIRST then the facts.
All this is missing from the theatre presented as reality TV.
There were two lawyers on the jury who led the others to the verdict, just to make sure nobody strayed from the script. They should of course be disbarred, as should the judge and the prosecutors, for turning a misdemeanor into 34 felonies, but they’ll probably all get rewarded for their misdeeds instead.
Trump campaign raises record $34.8 million in donations after guilty verdict
And most all of these came from small time donors – aka the common people, like you and me! This ought to tell you something bigly.
Tells me the people are pissed. Won’t do any good. The deep state uniparty has us all by the testicles now.
Most of the state Republican parties are run by establishment folks, who have thus far successfully beaten back the MAGA crowd. Until more MAGA people run to be delegates, candidates, etc., the establishment will run the show. It’s a process and may take decades to take them down. It may never happen. Money helps, but if it goes to the controlling group, nothing will change. Maybe the RNC will support MAGA candidates, but they too seem to be intertwined with the uniparty.
We don’t have decade, Ez. It’s late in the day and we are surrounded by wolves, their eyes gleaming in the gather gloom and their tongues lolling with ferocious joy.
Well said!
“Everybody knows now from watching the latest crop of television commercials that white people are unusually stupid and helpless and cannot cope with common problems without assistance from helpful people of color (POCs).” It seems obvious that the Blob recruited and used POC prosecutors and DA’s to go after Trump (save the white monster Jack Smith). Was this to provide Woke legitimacy? Was this to give the POC a coveted world stage to shine? The dems once again have used Blacks to do the dirty work and those chosen happily obliged.
I was watching Garland Nixon the other day, and he also noticed that the commercials are devoid of black people now.
There’s an agenda, he pointed out, and it’s called “divide and conquer”.
Justice Alito is under attack.
No shit, Dick Tracy. So is Clarence Thomas as is the mediocre Amy Coney Barrett.
Sorry, Beryl. It’s just that its blatantlu obvious the Left and the government Establishment are conducting a color revolution on America so we’ll end up just like every other country in the globalist camp. The courts were about the last thing to go, and they’re being toppled as we speak. If the Supreme Court is delegitimized, we’ll have no recourse when the election is stolen in November. America as founded is dead; all we can do now is either flee the country or fight the motherfuckers.
Dear Bob, that is, in a nutshell, a very accurate explanation of where we are. A Color Revolution was the one thing that I read about, back when The Kenyan was “president”, that sent chills in me. So far the Blob International is batting 1,000.
Yes, the only conservative, non-Deep State entity is under attack just as much as Trump. Right now, SCOTUS is blocking some of the Left’s agenda to finish the conquest. So be expecting 24/7 attempts to attack the conservatives.
Biden is attempting to explain that the American judicial system is working just fine right now as it has for 250 years.
In a pig’s eye you lying POS.
Meh, nothing new there.
It’s new that they want him to recuse himself from anything to do with J6 because of a flag that was heretofore okay.
Jim, you’re great, I love this post. You are so right, we asked for one, a hero and he comes against all odds. I’ll be voting for him down here in Jacksonville, FL. Can’t wait to help the President take back our country.
You are assuming the elections are honest and the votes counted correctly……
Your optimism is touching, but, I’m afraid, irrational.
Is everyone absolutely sure that Da Jedge is NOT working for the Trump Re-Election Campaign?
He’s donated to Biden, Act Blue, and other leftist organizations. His daughter works as a fundraiser for the crooked Hollywood asshole, Adam Schiff. In no way are they intentionally helping Trump.
It’s just too hard to believe anyone, let alone a judge, could be that stupid. Look at all the other show trials. Do you see a pattern there?
If any participants in this forum have not read The Fourth Turning, it’s now or never.
Those who have will recall that this nation’s survival of each previous Fourth Turning has been contingent upon the appearance of a Grey Champion, who possessed the courage and determination to vanquish the threat to its continuing existence. The authors are not able to guarantee that such an individual will emerge, that he will necessarily be of the highest character, or that he will succeed in saving us. That’s all up to the roll of the dice.
What we’ve clearly got this time around is a would-be Orange Champion. He’s no Thomas Jefferson, but he can perceive the existential threat to the U S of A, and he’s pissed off.
Will Mr. Trump win at the polls? Almost certainly. Will the vote riggers try to overturn the will of the people? Absolutely. If he attains office and isn’t assassinated by the CIA within the first month, will he stand a chance against The Blob? It seems unlikely, but who knows?
Trump, such as he is, is probably the Champion this nation deserves at this historical juncture. The outcome of his efforts may depend upon whether or not Fate has a sense of humor.
He supports War with Russia. He’s controlled by the Kushner crime family. He’s not part of White America, not really.
Jerk:
Meaning what: that you are in denial about treasonous racketeering of the Biden family?
And just how white are you?
Zontar:
Don’t answer a question with a question. Biden’s overt criminality is another question and an important one of course.
Now back to Trump!
I’m a typical American mutt, but I’m probably more white than you are. This racial purity bullshit you trumpet is beyond tiresome. Do you sit around in your mommy’s cellar wearing a Waffen-SS uniform while you type your diatribes against Jews and in favor of Catholicism? Keep in mind that the reason Africans were imported to the New World in the first place is because missionaries complained to the Vatican that they couldn’t teach the Gospel to the Indians of Central and South America because the Spanish had enslaved them. The Vatican made Spain stop enslaving Indians. However, since Spain was bribing, er donating American gold and silver to the Vatican, and since Spain needed to continue to mine said metals to pay for its wars against Protestants, a solution had to be found. Someone realized that the descendants of Ham were condemned to eternal servitude to the descendants of Shemp and Malvern because Ham had lustful thoughts about a drunken, naked Noah. And so it was that the Pope said it was acceptable to take black Africans to the New World, there to mine and clear land and pick tobacco and cotton and serve as a pretext for wars and, above all, to vex Jarek.
Shemp? From the three stooges? What about Moe and Larry? All three were Jews. Are you or just a 2nd class “Christian” Zionist Jew?
Yep. I thought the Gray Champ was Trump way back when. Still, that analogy is flawed, with all due respect to Bill Strauss. He really didn’t have a good candidate for America’s Gray Champion for the last Fourth Turning before this one, did he?
the Fourth Turning doesn’t always result in something better once the turning has occurred. The Fourth Turning could result in something far worse than previous. All the Fourth Turning means is that some catastrophic even causes monumental change in the next generation shift. Either for good or bad, doesn’t matter.
A Gray Champion could be someone like Stalin, FDR or Hitler. Doesn’t have to be a good guy. Hell, Barak Obama may be the Gray Champion. We won’t know until after the 4th Turning has occurred.
Shouldn’t we be brainstorming some creative strategies?
Like, DJT disappears (suspends his campaign, fakes his death, announces he has cancer, whatever). We put in another candidate and right after the election, the VP resigns and DJT is elected to take his/her place. Then POTUS resigns, and DJT moves up.
Or, DJT does what BHO is doing currently. He steps behind the curtain and a puppet enacts his policies.
Trump’s anger and ego won’t permit that. Nor will his supporters.
The only possible hope for Trump’s situation is an emergency intervention by the Supreme Court, and it would have to happen soon. The sentencing is scheduled purposely close to the Republican Convention to send it into chaos. I have no doubt that judge will send him to jail. There will be appeals, etc., but all of that will take weeks and months, and by that time it will be too late. Out of the chaos at the Republican Convention, they’ll probably nominate Nikki Haley or who knows, fucking Mitt Romney.
I hope the Supreme Court will have the balls to intervene, but I suspect they are effectively “captured” by the Intelligence agencies, especially (or at the very least), Justice Roberts; it the only way you can explain his ridiculously reasoned votes, on for example, Obamacare.
The three-letter agencies have something on every single member of Congress and the Judiciary About the only person they’ve targeted that they couldn’t control is Donald Trump. He was too clean. Trump’s conviction confirms the hypothesis that every single component of the Constitutional Republic has been hopelessly corrupted.
There’s a glimmer of hope; it’s always darkest just before the dawn…. (I keep telling myself).
What makes you think the convention will nominate anyone else?
If he is in jail, it might allow the RINO’s to wiggle in. When chaos reigns, anything can happen.
MAGA people have a better chance of fighting the RINOs than they do the Blob.
If the Reps nominate anyone but Trump, and they get away with it, that is when you can say that this country is totally screwed.
It’ll probably take two to three years for the appeal to make it into the federal courts. Roberts, who is a crooked bastard, won’t allow an emergency appeal to be heard until the case goes through New York’s appellate courts.
Love the King Kong analogy. Love the psychology in play of the underdog who rises up to victory. Tried and true scenario.
Prediction: Suspect those who rise up to become the Republican candidate. Most Suspected? Flynn.
As we know from the tranny years, and the Russiagate years, much of America doesn’t live in reality.
They believe whatever their phone tells them to believe.
Therefore, men can give birth, women have penises, Trump is a criminal who nobody likes, Ukraine is beating those drunken Russians who are armed with nothing but shovels, (except somehow simultaneously are an eminent threat to Europe), and the US will show China who is The Boss, very soon.
The weird thing is that Trump was president for four years already, but they make predictions as if they didn’t have four years of history to guide them.
So, Trump will get us into war (like he didn’t before, although I remember that they said the same thing before he was in office.)
He will prosecute his enemies (like he didn’t before, although he is being prosecuted himself now.)
He will refuse to leave office and make himself president for life (although he didn’t before.)
The complete inability to learn from experience must be a vital part of living in the Fantasy World they live in.
And that includes knowing the difference between men and women that they now profess bafflement about. They used to know, and we all know they used to know, but now they pretend otherwise.
Actually, this lack of learning from history also applies to those who think that Trump will drain the swamp, going against four years of “lived” history.
He didn’t drain it last time, he appointed swamp creatures to run the government.
Why would he do it this time?
Because, Paula, he knows A LOT MORE about this whole Deep State than he ever imagined.
And yet, he was thinking of making Nikki Haley his vice?
Breck
Yes, I also think he knows how little power he will have if re-elected this time.
Over and over, the Deep State controls the country now and Trump knows it. he genuinely wants to change things and knows being in the WH is the only way to do anything.
The Democrats are much better politicians than the GOP as they are lifers. They know that in the power game, the winners control all. And winners wipe out the opposition. Political genocide.
Which if Trump goes, is about where we are at right now.
BTW, my advice to SCOTUS? Don’t let your wife put up your flag.
Trump appears to be the exception to the rule of not learning from history.
Paula
Who said he was thinking of Nikki Haley?
CNN? MSNBC?
He didn’t.
Donnie Jr. said he would make sure that didn’t happen. Donnie Jr. did NOT say the rumors weren’t true.
Last time, he was against War and he kept his promise. This time he is for both Wars and what if he keeps his promise?
As always, you are easily defeated.
“The complete inability to learn from experience must be a vital part of living in the Fantasy World they live in.”
Humans have no generational memory. It’s why we are doomed to continue to repeat the same lessons over and over again until we finally go the way of the Tyrannosaurus Rex or we evolve and finally learn some lessons and keep those lessons in our memories.
It’s not even generational. We are literally talking about 3 years ago.
It’s like the people who have been screaming about forced inoculations for the last 3 years, and all of a sudden forget all about it, and trash the only candidate who has been fighting on their side all along.
Goldfish have longer memories than most humans, it seems.
Hear hear, Paula!
@ Paula D:
With many people, the irrationality extends into their personal affairs. At present, I find myself in an enclave of sane and sensible people. But every time I have a brush with the outside world, I seem to run into people whose “thinking” (if you can call it that) runs to mere fantasy.
A few days ago, I had a discussion with my old college friend, in which I pointed out that a man does not become a woman because he puts on a skirt. Nor does a human become a bunny rabbit because he puts on a costume. My friend replied by calling me a bigot. I wasn’t at all offended, since I’ve had 50 years to get used to his snotty mouth. (We’ve always had a “big sister”/”snotty little brother” relationship.)
Awhile back, I was trying to help a guy whom I knew from by farmers’ market days find a rural house to buy for cash–cheap. He insisted he could only spend $20K. Not impossible until quite recently, if you were okay with a place that was trashed and needed a lot of work. But he insisted that he had to have basement and a large lot. When an opportunity appeared, he protested that he “wasn’t liquid.”
Puzzled, I mentioned the guy’s insanity to a friend of mine, and she remarked stolidly, “He’s a dreamer.” In other words, this was a guy who had no intenion of ever doing anything but weaving fantasies.
I see this same denial of reality with people who go into massive debt.
We all saw this same descent into mass psychosis with covid and the subsequent vax.
I’ve about decided that most of the people in this country are batshit crazy. The irrationality is off the charts.
One problem is that none of us were ever taught how to think logically and rationally. I wasn’t, nor do I know anyone who was. On the contrary, we were all raised to have a “wish upon a star” mentality (by Disney) and further adjured to “Think of a wonderful thought, any happy little thought,” by the philosopher who wrote The Secret. We’ve been systematically subjected to about the worst possible intellectual formation.
There’s no hope for the nation as a whole turning around until the people turn around and start thinking like adults.
Good points, Anthea, especially about the way we were conditioned.
I would add “If you can dream it, you can be it.”
And “Your house is your piggybank”.
Total bullshit.
And yet, with all of the incompetent DEI judges and officials and the war on white people in the West, we still have people commenting on this site, heralding the grand achievements of the “civil rights” movement, but bemoaning Marxism. The cognitive dissonance is simply astonishing.
By war of deception do they make war, ever hiding behind the stupidity of the ordinary man.
We are at that moment of silence just before the charge. Soon with a roar the hordes will pour forth, wielding anything that can be used as a weapon. The illegitimate rulers will be vanquished in a great purge.
My what a vivid imagination! It would be something to behold if it actually happens.
In the summer of 376, a massive number of Goths arrived on the Danube River, the border of the Roman Empire, requesting asylum from the Huns. There were two groups: the Thervings led by Fritigern and Alavivus and the Greuthungi led by Alatheus and Saphrax. Eunapius states their number as 200,000 including civilians, but Peter Heather estimates that the Thervings may have had only 10,000 warriors and 50,000 people in total, with the Greuthungi about the same size. The Cambridge Ancient History places modern estimates at around 90,000 people.
This is a quote from Wiki. That mass arrival of “barbarians” is akin to the illegal immigration in today’s America. By the way, many of these “warriors” took jobs that “the average Roman didn’t want to do” They became soldiers in the Roman army. It is left up to the reader to find out how THAT all turned out.
That is a GREAT comment.
But who is our current crop of “goths” running from?
Breck
It was Rome’s game of King of the Mountain which I use to describe the world situation today.
The Goths were teaming up with others to knock Rome off the mountain, which they did.
Like BRIC++, like WEF? Why the hell hasn’t anyone described who is funding these modern day Goths and Germans?
Those well developed “camps” in the Darien Gap have a tight sphincter on who’s doing what. Bret Weinstein did some yeoman work on this thing but didn’t have the time or money to pursue it. But he did put a spotlight on it – with the help of Mr. Carlson.
I could guess and say the “Open Borders” agenda of the Soros Mob has something major to do with it. What I guess is that there are people behind and higher up than Soros. Like Russian dolls.
Oh they’re political refugees,dontcha know. Laughs
The Germans were White and the Romans were White. The Germans admired the Roman Empire and wanted to become part of it – even though the Romans had slaughtered countless number of them.
The newcomers to America are not White like us and they despise us. They are not an intrinsically gifted people like the Germans by any means.
The Germans were barbarians. They did not want to join Rome, they wanted to sack it, conquer it and get all the goodies. One big problem, like the USA Today, Rome had squandered its wealth and was in debt up to their eyeballs. The Germans absorbed the technology of Rome by making treaties and joining the legions because the Romans wanted no part of the military.
It is almost a direct correlation to the USA Today. These immigrants are going to learn how to beat the USA from the inside, they will just absorb us, and conquer us just like the Romans.
“Give me back my Legions!”
“Three legions, comprising some 25,000 men under the Roman General Varus, were wiped out by an army of Germanic tribes under the leadership of Arminius”…
Site your sources Jarek that “The Germans admired the Roman Empire and wanted to become part of it” I supposed you have heard of what happened at Teutoburger Wald, haven’t you?
Rome’s problem was after they ran out of territory to conquer they could not longer sack new territories for their gold and no longer had revenue with which to pay their troops. So, the immigrants filled in nicely for the Romans who would no longer serve in the legions without proper pay. The immigrants, the barbarians, did. Rome became so large it could no longer afford to manage its empire and had to look to immigrants to fill those roles.
The USA is no different. Trillions in dollars of debt. The romans got about 600 years. The USA? We won’t even make it to 250.
The problems that the Romans had were due to the fact that politicians in the hinterlands could do exactly what they wanted to do because the Romans lacked a communication system that allowed instaneous action……and social media (Laughs). The issue of”proper pay” was a non issue. To keep loyalty emperors made sure the troops were damn well paid. See “donative” The issue was that assimilation by multiple cultures ( diversity) watered the down the fighting spirit of a people who could lose more soldiers in one battle (Cannae) then the United states lost in the entire Vietnam war and still have the will to fight on. See the Battle of Adrianople around 378 AD
Who is Edward Dowd?
Breck- A genius. Google him and buy his book.
I did google that name and got no consensus lead. I don’t ask questions here without trying to get the answers myself. I’ll dig deeper and thanks for answering Mac.

Something else: Major League incorparated the Negro League “statistics” into there record books, and now Josh Gibson has the all-time major league lifetime batter average (.372) to the former lifetime batting average of Ty Cobb (.367 0 that was the standard for almost 100 years. Pure bullshit
It’s no surprise. Like most things being done in the West in general and the US specifically, the goal is to degrade, marginalize, disenfranchise, humiliate, demean, and demoralize white people, especially the Remnant and the middle class whites (like me) whose ancestors created this place. It’s cultural genocide.
Remember the home run guys that were on steroids so they put their records with asterisks?
It would never happen today. All the players, especially pitchers in the Negro league, were they as good as the regular MLB? Jackie Robinson,#1, was a fairly good player but not the same caliber as some of the others around at the time. This inclusion will always be looked at with suspicion.
Altho, they should have let those guys play in the Major leagues. In the 1880s the Cleveland club signed a pair of brothers, the Walker brothers, who were good hitting infielders with some speed, Maury Wills types. A prick named Cap Anson who was the Big Star at the time in Pro baseball raised hell over it, threatening a player walkout and all this happy sh#t, and the plan was dropped. It took another 65 years for Jackie Robinson, Lary Doby, Dan Bankhead etc to play in the Bigs.
Why couldn’t blacks just have continued to play in their own baseball league? Why couldn’t blacks just have continued to have their own schools, neighborhoods, restaurants, etc.? It worked better than anything before or since, and it was much better for blacks, overall. Blacks were far better off when they had their own parallel culture. We ended up having to give them all of their own set-asides anyway when it was inevitably proven that they wouldn’t get equal billing in an objective competition.
Why does major league baseball agonize over the decline in black players in baseball and start all sorts of outreach programs, while the NBA doesn’t give a flying fuck about the decline in white players in the NBA?
Black women are tormented by Caitlin Clark. She has both White and “Pretty” privilege. Most of the players are Black lesbians who have neither. She not supposed to be able to play so well, but she can and does. How long before one of them tries to break her neck?
I try my best not to see or hear about men’s basketball, but European whites are now better than American blacks at basketball.
“How long before one of them tries to break her neck?”
Not long. Just tonight, one of the limited impulse control Nubian animals tried to kill her.
Trump was impeached for something that Biden did.
Now he’s been convicted of crime(s) he did not commit, while Hillary paid for a ‘dossier’ and then hid the payment.
Problem is that the lawfare regime is all run and paid for by the deep state liberals and RINOs. Therefore, it will be exceedingly difficult to successfully bring prosecutable charges against any of this worthless scum. They will just look you in the face, laugh, and throw the petition into the wastepaper basket.
The Clinton Klan should have been locked up long ago. They ruined Haiti. Look into their “charitable” org records. I am sure they are rife with bookkeeping errors, much worse than Trump was wrongfully prosecuted for.
Nah. The “lawfare regime” may be run by hirelings like the Clintons, et al., but there’s a much bigger fish behind them.
Your talking about the really OLD money. The Rothschild and Rockefellers. The Chases, Morgans and Lehmans.
The Clintons, Bushes and Obamas aren’t part of this elite core of old generational money.
Trump was impeached for supposedly holding up weapons to Ukraine.
They managed to have a two month show trial without EVER talking about how those weapons were being used against the people of eastern Ukraine.
That is the power of the narrative and the media.
But yeah, part of the narrative was that Trump asking the newly elected president of Ukraine, Zelensky, about the investigation into Burisma corruption.
The line was that asking about the investigation was interfering in the US election by possibly having the “front runner’s” son brought up for criminal charges.
Do you see the power of the Blob to control the narrative?
How is it possible that no Reps bring up that impeachment to point out the hypocrisy of saying that it is forbidden to prosecute the son of the “front runner” (which he wasn’t at that point), but not to prosecute the actual front runner? Especially on bogus charges and invented laws?
Well not anymore. He’s with them now. He’s very afraid I imagine.

@ Paula D:
I live in rural Missouri, where many of my neighbors are professionals in demanding fields–in other words, educated people whom one would expect to be well informed. I am hearing that all of their colleagues in the workplace (in the city) are all “rah! rah!” pro-Ukraine, and that any arguments in favor of Russia elicit shock.
I was blown away by hearing this. I thought there were few people left who trusted the MSM, or even tuned in to it. It makes me feel hopeless.
My daughter has a 10-month-old baby. There is an immensely popular kids’ program on TV, called “Miss Rachel.” My daughter has tuned in to it occasionally, because the little one likes it (mostly the songs)–even though she generally avoids exposing him to TV.
Welp, it turns out that Miss Rachel has been teaching the children about pronouns. My daughter was horrified.
From what little I’ve seen of the media outside my internet echo-chamber, it’s saturated with delusion, and, frankly, filth. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t see this, but apparently they don’t.
This too makes me feel hopeless about the prospects for our country. Even the prospects for protecting ones children and culture seem very poor, unless you’d like to turn Amish (or something of the sort).
If you think about it, the whole idea behind sects like the Amish and the Mennonites is to disengage as completely as possible from the influence and control of the larger society. I think this is the only really viable solution. The thing is, the only people who might be financially able to do this–that is, buy a house on 120 acres, plus a few horses, a buggy, and treadle sewing machine–are making north of $100,000/year (at least), buying leg-of-lamb and filet mignon at Sprouts, and clothes and home furnishings from Amazon, and, well, life is pretty good.
Wow, that Miss Rachel stuff is evil.
Yeah, the Amish disengage, but one time we were on Amtrak, and my husband nudged me and said that the Amish man behind us was talking about 9-11 to his enthralled family. (Maybe they have to look enthralled, I don’t know.)
Yeah, he was talking in German, or whatever they speak, but you could hear him say “9-11”.
I’m guessing he didn’t believe the bullshit we were fed, but that it still trickled into the Amish community.
Also, how is it possible that they had an entire impeachment based on sending “needed” weapons to Ukraine in 2019, but now they tell us that the war only started in 2022?
No, that was not it. Trump was impeached because some asshole heard him talking to Zelensky and requesting an investigation of the Biden Mobs incursions into Ukraine.
He was hit because the Left wanted his campaign to not have the Ukraine issue. Democrats had a 4 vote advantage in the House and Pelosi still had a solid bloc to nail him with. His attention was diverted in DEC2019 to Jan2020 by that impeachment and when a few people came in and tried to get his attention about a weird virus in Wuhan, China, he blew them off. BIG MISTAKE, in hindsight.
Trump will not fix much of anything with maybe a few small wins, because the Congress can never be MAGA enough to push his agenda. He will be impeached for something, it will hang him up for a year per impeachment.
The Left is in control.
Google it, John.
Here’s a start:
bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50886437
Okay, here goes.
From: Constitution Annotated
Constitution.congress.gov
Article II Section4
“ The first impeachment trial stemmed fro a call President Trump had with the President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine in which President Trump asked the Ukrainian President to announce two investigations: one involving his potential opponent in the upcoming 2020 presidential election and a second into unsubstantiated allegations that entities within Ukraine had interfered with the 2016 presidential election.” {Both aimed at the Obama, Biden, Nuland corruption}. “At the time of the calls, the OMB had frozen $400 million in military aid to Ukraine at the direction of the President. The contents of the call initially came to light through an intelligence community whistleblower report, but a summary of the call was later made public by President Trump.”
Just an adder, the whistleblower was never made public at the time, but JHK was one of the first to identify him.
The number one Leftist to pursue it and push it was Adam Schiff.
Yes, John, as I said, there were two components. But I was talking about the narrative pushed by the media, which was mostly focused on the weapons.
Google “impeachment” and just look at the results, to see what I mean.
Uh huh. The phone cal’s date that led to the impeachment was July 25, 2019.
The war started in 2022? Just another lie by Biden or the media?
Trump is getting hos karmic payback for not “pardoning” Julian Assange when he had the chance. And I’ll never understand how you can charge a non-citizen with treason.
HIS
Me neither, Cactus Girl. An Australian in the UK, being charged with “treason” to the USA?
Insane.
Something that was memory-holed a long time ago, which I never see anyone (in the UK) pointing out, apart from me, is that a UK minister (I think it was Alan Duncan) gave an assurance that Assange would never be extradited to a jurisdiction which had the death penalty. I literally heard him quoted on the nooz at the time or watched him say it (can’t remember which). I did search for it one time, ages ago, and it came up in an article from a foreign newspaper that I can’t remember, so I didn’t imagine it.
I think that was part of the last ruling, Alba. The US totally promised not to kill Julian, only put him in prison for 175 years, so that’s OK then. You know you can trust the US when they promise something.
This is from The Blaze

As a business owner, massive tax payer, and job creator, this makes me very nervous. First, any judge without any knowledge of my business can adjudicate its value and then charge me with crimes. They can “adjust” the statute of limitations and find me guilty of “harming” someone 30 years ago and do this without ever presenting any evidence.
The triple-boosted, obese, low-IQ public seal claps while stuffing themselves full of artificial sugar as hundreds of thousands of businesses across the nation shut their door forever because it isn’t possible to do business in a Banana Republic.
I hope they enjoy owning nothing and being happy in their 15-minute cities eating sugar-coated bugs because that is where they are headed. They’ll scream through their Cheeze Doodle stuffed mouths that it isn’t true but it most certainly is.
Let them scream. Some sins do get punished…by their very nature. They may never know why they’re screwed, but it’ll happen anyway. This whole FUBAR reminds me of the later years of the U.S.S.R. There was a “social experiment” contrary to the laws of Nature and God. And they got it good and hard. But now, on the other side of that hell, they’ve developed into a fairly decent country.
The Legal System in ‘The Shining City on a Hill’ also known as The Indispensable Nation:
‘Impartial’ Judge gives the Jury its instructions…
Judge orders Jury to find the Defendant guilty…
Judge tells Jury ‘We don’t need to worry about actually finding any real crime…’
Jury knows the weekend is coming and wants to go home and be rewarded with an avalanche of anti-social media accolades for their Existential Wokeness and ‘Fairness’…
Jury announces the Defendant… Guilty!
Judge works hard to conceal a wide smile and a large bulge under his robe…
Everyone goes home feeling good about what They just did.
And Blue Nation from Manhattan to San Diego and Seattle is thrown into waves of orgasmic ecstasy.
And the dwindling remnant Sane in America are left to shake their collective heads… and weep for what this Nation has devolved in to. And rightfully fear for their children’s future.
This case was mostly NOT about one arrogant man. It was about the future of all Americans.
And a Legal System that has shown itself to be what many feared it would one day become… just another weapon in the hands of the Deep State to be used against any person they choose… any time… any where…
Real guilt not required. Just be the ‘Wrong Kind of Person’… and YOU are going to get YOURS. Good and hard.
Remember this when you wave the flag on July 4th. And every other day for the rest of your lives.
What was already going to be a red-hot Summer will now grow even hotter. The Stew Pot in which we are all being boiled alive just got turned up by a bunch of Angry Gothamites who view the World in nothing but varying shades of Blue.
There is yet one thing left to do to square the twisted circle from this Kangaroo Court which should more appropriately have convened in at the Central Park Zoo:
Name Joe Biden as Trump’s probation officer. Or jailer. The Squinting Bumbler… sneering at the Orange Man wearing an Orange Jumpsuit courtesy of Dark Blue City.
In a Nation now drowning in Shame.
Flying the flag is a celebration of the spirit of America and the government thereof.
Celebration of what?
I fly my flag two times a year to celebrate the two holidays that are worthwhile, IMHO.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Upside-Down Flags Become Symbol for Republicans Protesting Trump Verdict
dnyuz.com/2024/05/31/upside-down-flags-become-symbol-for-republicans-protesting-trump-verdict/
After a New York jury returned a historic guilty verdict against former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday, many Americans chose to rally around the flag. The upside-down flag.
Social media overflowed on Thursday afternoon with images of Old Glory hung with the stars on the bottom, posted by elected Republicans, right-wing activists and regular Americans upset by the news that a former president was now a felon.
The upside-down flag traditionally indicates distress and, on occasion, has been used as a sign of protest. The right to display a U.S. flag in that manner was even upheld by a Supreme Court decision in 1974.
But after The New York Times revealed two weeks ago that an inverted flag flew outside Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr’s home in the weeks after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the symbol has gained traction on the right – and Thursday’s verdict seemingly pushed it into the center of the conservative mainstream.
***
God bless America.
OG, you have it wrong.
It is all the people standing on their heads trying to salute the flags that is the problem.
Is that a Uke joke?
“…And rightfully fear for their children’s future”.
Yep. I think Roseanne Barr got this image just right in her interview with Tucker. She’s a Boomer too. She said, and I paraphrase, ‘I’m gonna die my way out of this, but I feel sorry for my children and grand-children’.
I have 4 children coming of age. I always look at them and tell them that they and their children are going to have to solve the mess my generation, the boomers and the greatest generation created for them. I then apologize and tell them that I wish there was more I could do. I don’t think they fully grasp or understand what I am trying to tell them. It really breaks my heart.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
They didn’t do it, it was done to them by an adversary they cannot see and therefore tend to ignore/ deny.
“My people are destroyed all the day long for lack of knowledge.”
I have been providing the knowledge [ at least some hints of where to look to learn more ] since the middle eighties. I have over a hundred notebooks containing correspondence with office holders, institutional leaders etc. with my concerns and their responses. All to little avail.
I’m not apologizing to anyone. It doesn’t matter how many times you tell them, only how many times they hear.
messianicdruid: “They didn’t do it, it was done to them by an adversary they cannot see and therefore tend to ignore/ deny.”
“Every one has a right – to be Wrong”. So an old saying goes.
This reality is the result of humans having consciousness and self-directed individualized will to use that mind and energy in whatever direction one chooses to. And also the compulsion to see the World through various filters and selected biases.
For every human being of every Age and generation… every single one of us is both right, and wrong. Every day, all the time. We are a conflicted mixture of contradictions well rooted in both truth and delusion… sound reasoning and no reasoning at all. The Angel perched on one shoulder and the Devil on the other – each always whispering into our ears.
This existential tension would have been enough to properly deal with all on it own. But add to that the Hidden Hand that has existed for thousands of years in various guises that seeks to disempower, confuse, rule over, and abuse us for Their own gain and purposes.
We are all victims here. And we are also our own Saviors. Again, it’s our own individual choice as to which we choose to be.
Nice try by JHK is still a better writer than you are
“But, in reality, more like King Kong, chained in the rank basement below the stage of a Broadway theater before busting loose in midtown and upending subway cars so as to devour the little humans tumbling out like so many tic-tacs.)”
Oh my God….that mind picture totally destroyed me with laughter! That is precisely how this will all go down. The backlash has already started…
I had never really thought this whole situation out, practically speaking. But really, this is one humongous primate in an unventilated basement having humongous bowel movements. That takes “stinks” to a whole new level of “rank”.
If you are on X or any of the other internet media you will see we our country is more divided than ever today. Of course, Trump and Biden will both be blamed depending on which side of the divide you are on.
Damn your ‘Lawfare’ on one side and ‘No one is above the law’ on the other.
Why would any billionaire want to give up a comfortable lifestyle try to become President unless it was a massive ego trip or he was really concerned about his country.
It appears to be the later but IMHO he didn’t realize what he was getting into. Politics is the dirtyist form of life style. Did Nikki lie when she called Trump everything she could think of or is she lying now? Either way, she and all the rest are so very bad, it is really hard for the normal person to comprehend.
Trump is smarter now and may make a good president but I doubt if he will be able to overcome the entire Washington ‘Evilness’. That place is evil. People go there with the best intentions but end up spending most of their time trying to get re-elected and compromising their integrity.
There are Jefferson Smiths that go to DC to try to do good for themselves and their constituents.
Most though are elected by committees back home and are responsible to the machines rather than themselves or their constituents.
Add that to the lobbyists and you have a solid bedrock of corruption running the country.
Jarek, that is why your socialism will never ever work. You want to control crony capitalism with government regulation. It will never work.
Some posters may be correct on the only way to stop the corruption.
Total collapse and resurrection enforcing the Constitution as it is written before the Left destroyed it.
Actually not just the Left, Lincoln did a heck of a job destroying it. Call it the government, the Deep State today.
But what is the Deep State? eh?
The United Nations Cabal.
Agenda 21, etc.
Tomato, Tomahto.
Federal, Deep State.
Look around you, you see two ubiquitous things.

The Deep State.
That’s only if we don’t get into a nuclear war first…Which seems to be closer to any collapse happening.

Just saying if Biden or any of them decide to attack Russia directly, it will come down to Putin retaliating.
The Constitutional Republic began its decline when Andrew Jackson told the Supreme Court to go eff themselves and began using the Presidency to pad his own pockets and become fabulously wealthy. Abraham Lincoln officially overthrew the Constitution of 1788 and gave full power to the Federalists. More than 100 years before I was born. N

John, I embolded the part your wrote that appears to contradict the first part you wrote.
I’ve seen this kind of thing before. They get on a site and spend inordinate amounts of time on it and it takes them in and has its way with them and they’re never the same again.
Save yourself, John. Take some time off, maybe periodically, if not permanently before it kills you.
I think JAZ phrased things badly. Lincoln, in his efforts to save the asses of New York and New England bankers and industrialists, called the War of the Rebellion a war to save the Union. In winning, the North essentially ended the Tenth Amendment, and America as it had had existed since 1787, and made the South a backwater for a century. That’s one destruction. The total, catastrophic destruction of America began when Boss Tom Platt foisted Thee Roosevelt upon William McKinley for the 1900 election. When McKinley was assassinated, we got the first Progressive activist. For nearly 125 years, we’ve had mostly Progressive presidents — and the few who weren’t Progs (Harding, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump) were undermined by their own party and had their character assailed by the media, even when they did obviously good things.
You forgot Andy Jackson, the Roosevelts, Taft, Wilson, Hoover, Truman to some extent, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter (the prototype for Obama), the Bushes, Clinton, Obozo, and the current occupant of a Delaware beach house.
I don’t know who this “Jarek” is but that notion about socialism is so old it stinks of mold and putrefaction.
This site is Jarek’s playground and has been for roughly the past 12+ years…
They ‘co-own’ it, so to speak, or at least squat on/parasitize it, with this site’s host, JHK, who kicked and maybe banned Jarek and/or their assorted nicknames.

Jaerek, for chrissakes, you’re embarrassing yourself. Kal-El (originally Kal-L) is Superman. His father was Jor-El, Krypton’s greatest scientist. I haven’t read comic books in decades, but I remember that.
Bob reveals himself as the great devotee that he is. His Christianity is just this comic writ large.
Like Jarek’s ‘blacks’, ‘whites’, women and men, etc., so his ‘whites’ too can fall under the knife of his denominations as a part of his habitual/stylistic ‘momentum’, perhaps until there is only the one who ‘dwells alone’, to quote from a previous thread…
There may be a bit of wisdom there, maybe about a danger, a cautionary tale, where it can be hard to cease one’s ‘momentum’ once they’ve reached their destination, and maybe it takes them off a cliff.

Once Trump is elected he can pardon himself and then the fun begins.

You may be assuming more seriousness behind edpell’s comment than what may be intended. See, edpell isn’t just edpell. edpell is from the previous Oil Drum edpell. That may be significant.
Oil Drum and Our Finite World.
Quite right.
I think they thought of that. He was convicted of state crimes, so the Governor of New York would have to pardon him, as I understand it.
It is a joke. As noted in today’s essay, in 2016 the FEC didn’t find “election meddling”. But here, NY State has somehow found 12 jurors who make the incredible, gravity-defying leap of logic that Trump paying HIS money to model for her to keep their private life private is private IS election meddling (NY law).
If a North Korea or Cuba is possible, then the US Deep-Dish Pizza State, or State for short, may well get it. Careful what you wish for or, if you do get it, if you’re not ’em and can’t beat ’em, join ’em.
If Trump hadn’t switched parties and run as a Republican on the advice of his “good friend,” William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, none of this would have happened, and we’d be living in George Soros’ fascist paradise as intended. The question is, did Bubba do that to fuck over Trump, or his own fat, homely, arrogant bulldyke wife?
Judicial assassination. the regime in power will now move to cage Trump and shut his mouth. this is getting dangerous and exciting. I wonder how many and which parts of the military and police will side with who. at first probably with the regime in power, but after a time and with a few horrible, violent, spectacles I predict they will begin sidling with the people.
All forms of the police and military have been impregnated by the Deep State and the Biden Mob that are becoming more in control with each MAGA loss.
Time to poison the well….clean water is life, without it there is rampant disease and death.
Yet they still got it right in sending Bibi $26 bil of your newly created debt, eh JAZ?
Go figure.
Hiya, BR.
The question will always stand, JAZ. Always. You can think that the problem is the questioner but that is merely (and obviously) obfuscation and deflection and avoidance of the true topic at hand.
I am irrelevant, JAZ. The question is for you.
Say it. Say: “In my opinion, the ‘Biden’ Admin has gotten absolutely EVERYTHING wrong except, of course, putting us yet another $26 bil in (unplayable) debt to send to Bibi.”
Face reality, JAZ. Quick! Before it smacks you upside the head.
Hiya, BR.
You know what I don’t understand about you, Og? You claim to be a Christian therefore I assume you believe the eternal life doctrine, but on the other hand you don’t seem to buy God’s preference to Jews through the entire course of time. Let me guess: your Biblical beliefs are strictly a la carte?
I know your afflictions and your poverty – yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo is hardly God’s chosen, CM. D’uh!
We are the heirs to the Prophets and the Promise. This new Judaism has a new scripture, the Talmud, which reviles Christ at length.
If Jesus was an anarchist, which looks very likely, that would naturally contradict the State of Israel. So, ya, no Israel for you, Jeez…
“Off you go…”
(Ben Netanyahu lightly pats Jesus’ ass to push him in the right direction, away from Israel…)
You two geniuses do know *why* YHWH picked Israel as His people, right? Beyond Him keeping His promise to Abraham, I mean. It was because the Israelites were seen as lying, despicable, unfaithful people of no note — no pyramids, no fortified cities, no empire. They’ve betrayed God at every turn from the Exodus to the present despite being delivered from evil countless times, but they are the apple if His eye. As to whether the Jews — the people Jarek wishes had all died at the hands of George Soros and the Nazis — lost that position because of the Crucifixion, when “those dirty Jews killed Jesus,” remember that a) the Romans killed Jesus, b) Jesus died because He freely gave up His life so that all of us dirty, filthy sinners could have the opportunity for redemption through His death and resurrection, and c) JESUS WAS BORN A JEW. Beyond that, Israel had to become a nation again in order to fulfill prophecy. Wait till Israel exterminates Esau’s descendants, the so-called Palestinians, as foretold. You will lose your minds, as will most of the people of the world. The Russians and their Islamist allies are forecast to descend upon Israel, no doubt with you cheering them on. Your hopes of ending Jewry seem imminent — until the archangel slaughters the attackers. Peace is established by a born liar who is the Antichrist, who later tries and fails to kill all the Jews. If God — YHWH — has rejected Jewry, why do they play such a prominent role in prophecy — the prophecy of the faith you claim to espouse?
You guys are still using “jew” and “israel” interchangeably. This practice opposes comprehension.
“Wait till Israel exterminates Esau’s descendants, the so-called Palestinians, as foretold.”
“When Judah conquered Edom in 126 B.C., the conquered Edomites merely converted to Judaism and, as Josephus puts it, “they were hereafter no other than Jews” (Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, ix, 1). The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (1970 edition) tells us:
“The Edomites were conquered by John Hyrcanus who forcibly converted them to Judaism, and from then on they constituted a part of the Jewish people” (p. 587).
The Jewish Encyclopedia (1903 edition) tells us:
“From this time the Idumeans ceased to be a separate people, though the name ‘Idumea’ still existed (in) the time of Jerome” (5th century).
The conquest and absorption of Edom/Idumea into Judah is beyond dispute. No credible historian has ever denied this history. Hence, the nation once known as Edom (or Idumea in Greek) ceased to exist forever, although the people themselves survive.
For the next century, men still referred to them as the Idumean branch of Jewry, but after the Roman war, the name gradually died out, and people stopped distinguishing Idumeans from Jews.
The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, tells us bluntly:
“Edom is in modern Jewry” (Vol. 5, p. 41).
The significance of this, from a Scriptural standpoint, is that this merger between Judah and Edom means that Jewry now has two sets of prophecies to fulfill. We should add that if the Edomites had been truly converted to God in their hearts by faith, they would have become citizens of the Kingdom. But forcible conversion only incarcerates people in a religion.”
“You will lose your minds, as will most of the people of the world.”
No, it is the christian zionists who have been manipulated since Darby and Scofield that will loose their minds when they realize they have echoed Judas in trying to help God fulfill prophecy based on their errors/ ignorance.

JHK calls it perfectly: “communo-fascist despotism.” That is the 2024 Democrat Party elite–the toxic mix of the very worst of Communist/Socialism and Fascist/Socialism. Indeed, the 2024 Democrat Party elite is following Hitler’s path to dictatorial power so identically that you would think that Democrat scum Hillary/Obama cabal had actually studied some history–and they have. What they didn’t study very well, however, is how it ended for Hitler, his henchmen, and the country that Hitler led. Hitler committed cowardly suicide in a bunker, most of his henchmen either offed themselves, were executed, or spent years in prison. The country that Hitler led was turned into rubble–particularly its major cities; millions of its citizens were killed by their own government, or died in the wars that Hitler started, and millions upon millions more died fighting Hitler’s murderous and insane Socialist regime (and leftist pukes can quit opining that Hitler and Nazis were not Socialists; politically and economically they were and they said so themselves).
Hitler’s and Stalin’s evil, murderous spirits have been reincarnated into three lunatic pieces of Democrat elite filth–a black, a female, and a vegetable–Obama, Hillary, and Biden. Watching these tyrants in action against President Trump is like watching a really shitty horror movie–you know how it is going to end, but you have to endure watching the bullshit show that the Democrat villains put on before you get to the happy ending where they get their asses handed to them on plate.
I’ve seen so many documentaries about Hitler and WWII. Enough to say that the way things are playing out is definitely how it went down for Nazi Germany.
We are Weimar awaiting our “Grey Man”. Trump may be all we deserve – a dud if ever there were. The Grey risks. Trump, even though an old man, thinks he is going to live forever and refuses to do this.
Hitler committed cowardly suicide in a bunker
“Yeah … that’s it! That’s the ticket!”
Bingo. This is full-blown communism…Lennin/Stalin now in the United States. This makes Hitler look like Mr. Rogers neighborhood.
What makes anyone have any more faith in higher courts than they have in lower courts? The entire justice system is corrupt. As far as I am concerned, if it is part of the government, it is in need of a reboot. We have had a good run, but it is done. Chaos to follow.
Seems to me that it would be silly for someone to have faith in any of the “institutions”. Personally, I don’t think they can be rebooted either.
Our legal system is as corrupt and criminal as our “healthcare” system. A reboot won’t work, an entirely new operating system and motherboard will be required. The old machine needs to be booted – to the graveyard. The new machine must be made from uncontaminated parts. Good luck putting it all together and getting all the old stuff to the landfill for burial.
Maybe we don’t even bother to go with the machine metaphor for the new system. Perhaps it could be something like a giant glowing orb that floats around dispensing profound wisdom and peace.
I like to sometimes say, ‘orb-a-baby’ and ‘wow-yum’. So we’re kind of like siblings. But I’m more grounded in a way and you in other ways.
Lol, ok. When you say wow-yum does it sound like wowyum or is there a noticeable pause so that it literally sounds like wow-yum?
Wowyum. No break.
I also like to say, “I like to say wowyum, and it shows.”.
Ideally, I would prefer to say it while holding special meditation crystals as my incense burns and I do gentle, yet stretchy, ballet moves.
That would be fun to watch lol. You could do that in our cookies and crystals store. I bet it would make the store more famous and people would come to watch you perform!
I’m putting you on of course… although, now that I think about it, some stretching exercises might be a good idea, if nothing to do with ballet. Might be pointless to watch. LOL

Yes, its the predictive programming phenomenon. It is also a self-fulfilling prophecy. We will have to shift to a new state of being if we don’t want to live in such a world.

Wikipedia. Synagogue of Satan.
Used in John’s letters to the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia.
Refers to a group persecuting the early churches “who say they are Jews but are not.”
“ The verse has been used to JUSTIFY HATRED AGAINST ALL JEWS OR PARTICULAR SUBSETS OF MODERN JEWS.”
“Similar language was used in the Dead Sea Scrolls when a small persecuted Jewish sect considered the rest of Judaism apostate and called its persecutors “the lot of Belial(Satan)””.
The Encyclical Etsi Multa, written by Pope Pius in 1873, refers to Freemasonry as “the synagogue of Satan”.
Just a damn excuse to hate Jews through the ages.
What Is Evil & Is It Evil?
John, it’s with anything/anyone and seems to boil down to the expression, ‘A bad apple spoils the batch.’.
Most anyone can be a ‘bad’ apple perhaps, even if they’re still ‘good’, like the ones who’ve been indoctrinated…
But by then, it can be too late. They return home from military duty, say, realize what they’ve done, can’t live with themselves anymore and commit suicide.
Some bad apples don’t just happen. They are made.
Some only have bad skin and you can peel it away and the inside is fine, whereas others have good skin, but are kind of rotten inside, if not to the core, like others.
Yep, soldiers brought up as gentle souls, Christian ethics, then off to war where their upbringing morality is crushed on the battlefield. It is PTSD in today’s lingo, largely ignored in the past. One of the worst was Audie Murphy.
Remember Jesus comparing the Jewish leadership with a sepulcher? White and shiny on the outside and corrupted on the inside.

The original Jews broke their Covenant with God. There is now a new Covenant. Christian doctrine says that to be ‘God’s chosen’, Jews need to accept Christ the same as anyone else. That’s about as close to the opposite of antisemitism as you can get too – no favourites or unfavourites.
(Don’t blame me – it’s not my doctrine.)
That simple isn’t true Green Alba. The foundation of Israel in May 1948 is proof that while constantly chastening them, God has not rejected them. I suggest that you read Romans Chapter 11 verses where Paul clearly states that God has NOT rejected Israel
“The original Jews broke their Covenant with God. There is now a new Covenant.”
Jesus taught nothing of the sort, that’s what “apostle” Paul taught. Paul’s spin on Christ became the dominant and orthodox version of the story. There’s no reason to believe that any of Paul’s made up Christology was true. New Covenant? Written in Greek?. Greco-Roman pagan culture was in distinct opposition to the values of Israel in the time of Jesus. If there was any truth in the “New Testament” it would have been written in Jehovah’s language, not Greek. Both the Greek and Roman empires were hostile to the Jews yet God dictated the NT in Greek? The language used by God to speak to Moses wasn’t good enough for writing the NT and so God had to instead inspire it’s writing in Greek? Of course, Christians will come up with no end of fanciful explanations as to why the “new covenant” was written in Greek. They feel quite confident they can speak for God when God so far has been silent as to why.
The Church is the new Israel. The boogie of Christian Zionism, “Replacement Theology” IS Christianity.
To think otherwise is to be a Judaizer, supposed Christians who wanted to drag Christianity back to Judaism against Christ’s expressed wishes.
Sounds like a different kind of pretzeling to me. A reality pretzel for the reality-challenged.
Is ‘pretzel’ a Jewish word, by the way? Sounds like it might be.
“In Germany, there are stories that pretzels were the invention of desperate bakers held hostage by local dignitaries.”
~ Wikipedia, ‘pretzel’ entry
The Pauline Church is the new Israel. The boogie of Pauline Zionism, “Replacement Theology” IS Paulianity. Jesus taught that a person needed to obey Jewish law even better than the average person. In contrast, Paul taught that he was no longer under the law. Jesus taught that the way to the kingdom of heaven was to treat your peers with great kindness and generosity. If you wish to gain treasures in heaven you give your treasure to the poor and needy. Jesus preached nothing about the way to heaven being available only through some special belief you have. Paul gave a gnostic spin to his Christology and suggested it was all some big mystery. Yeah, what else can utter nonsense and made up bullshit be – aside from a mystery? You’ll spend an infinite amount of time trying to understand Paul’s mystery and never get to the bottom of it. It’s a bottomless pit.
I’m not going to get involved in a long thread about this, because I have no expertise whatsoever.
However, this isn’t Paul, it’s John:
“16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
If we are to ignore Paul AND the gospels, I’m not sure what’s left.
Groundhog
In Acts two separate things happened. Peter saw a vision of a sheet descending from heaven with all the animals of earth on it. God said, you are to eat of all these, they are all clean. He undid the kosher laws of Mosaic laws with that. Peter moved on to visit Cornelius, a Roman centurion to preach to him, under orders from the Holy Spirit, voiding the separation from the gentiles rules the Jews had.
This was Peter, a Jew, being instructed by God that all those Judaic laws were man made and not applicable any more.
Then there was Saul, who killed Stephen and just about wiped out the early Jerusalem church by himself. It was Saul that Jesus knocked on his ass, blinded him, sent him to Ananias to be healed and said Why are you persecuting Me? It was Paul that Jesus sent to the gentiles, knowing that Messiah denying Jews would always exist.
Together, Paul and Peter created the dogma of the early church, finally telling the James led Jerusalem church that cutting the tip off of grown men did not need to be done to make them a Christian.
Both men promoted the idea that the following of Jesus’ message and faith in Him gave you grace, the forgiveness of your inherent sin, by God.
Crusher, the founding of modern Israel isn’t proof of anything, as some 97% of modern Israelis aren’t Semites, so have no connection with the ancient Israelites. I guess we’d have to look at the remaining 3%, plus any remnant of the genuine diaspora. But, like I said, I claim no expertise whatsoever.
That’s not an attack on ‘Jews’, before anyone starts, and doesn’t lead to any inferences about the current situation.
Yeah Ground, that’s why Christ said: Soon they will drive you from the Synagogues and consider killing you a good deed. He knew He was creating a new religion. He said that the new wine (teachings) would split the old wineskin so a new one was needed.
Maybe they can find salvation in their own religion. But Christ didn’t seem to think much of what Judaism had become. But what if it returned to its roots? He did revere the Prophets and the words of the Psalms were always on his lips.
“I suggest that you read Romans Chapter 11 verses where Paul clearly states that God has NOT rejected Israel.”
You are assuming people that simply CLAIM to be Israel ARE Israel.
“Maybe they can find salvation in their own religion. But Christ didn’t seem to think much of what Judaism had become.”
In the synoptic gospels Christ gives no advice anywhere on not following Jewish law. Sure, people like “apostle” Paul were around after the death of Jesus preaching the end of the old covenant. The real Jesus never taught anything like that. The Jesus made up by Paul and some other anonymous Greek authors of the NT did, but that fake Jesus is irrelevant and the people who created him were liars and conmen.
““I suggest that you read Romans Chapter 11 verses where Paul clearly states that God has NOT rejected Israel.”
Paul was a liar and a conman who deliberately misquoted the Old Testament when it was convenient. He was preaching and teaching something entirely different from what Jesus taught. Nobody has any good reason to be bound by what “apostle” Paul wrote. The guy never met Jesus or ever talked to him, and Paul’s Damascus road story was most likely made up bs. Whatever Paul wrote in Romans means nothing to me.
He casually did things on the Sabbath much to shock of observant Jews. His response? The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Anyone mention bibles and their respective equivalents– torahs, qurans, etc.– as antiquated propaganda? If I did a cursory search on that, what would I find?
In any case, convoluted arguments without end over antiquated propaganda for some reason makes me think of where the lines of cost versus benefit on a graph cross and the costs start becoming more than the benefits.
In addition to Green Albas quotes, there is this (John 14:6), “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

“Anyone mention bibles and their respective equivalents– torahs, qurans, etc.– as antiquated propaganda? If I did a cursory search on that, what would I find?”
If you were to listen to Professor Mark Crispin Miller, whose specialty is the study of progaganda, you’d first learn that, at its origins, the word doesn’t mean something bad. It just means propagating some information. So, for starters, if you’d accused a Christian missionary, in ye olde days, of spreading propaganda, they wouldn’t have been insulted because that was their job.
Adverts to warn motorists to wear seat belts, or talks in primary school warning children not to speak to strangers are also propaganda, in the old sense.
Modern propaganda (now accepted as a negative thing) started with Perfidious Albion, as you’d expect, with stories about the evil Hun bayonetting babies and so on, but propaganda per se was originally a neutral term. And Jesus spreading propaganda was a good thing, although one doesn’t expect you personally to believe that.
By the way, Zazelle, I was listening yesterday to James Delingpole interviewing Alastair Williams, an English comedian who is also a Christian and a history graduate. AW was pointing out that, since Jesus was a real person (even to non-Christian scholars), the choice to leave Him entirely out of the study of history (as opposed to just theology) is a deliberate one, on the part of those who ultimately decide on school and university curricula (and therefore largely influence how people think and what they believe). That is also propaganda, as its clear intention is to relegate Jesus to the realm of fairy stories.
“You claim to be a Christian therefore I assume you believe the eternal life doctrine”
There’s no mention of heaven or hell in traditional Judaism, and Jews generally don’t bother themselves with such Greek/pagan concepts and beliefs that are projected in the New Testament. The most outrageous claim made in the pagan NT is that it’s possible for a human being to be God. Roman emperors liked that idea but Jews thought it nonsense, which it is.
@ Groundhog:
John10:34-38 says, “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?”
Jesus says here that the Old Testament scriptures call them gods to whom the word of God has been given–and so it is written in the Old Testament. If you get out your Bible, you will find in the footnotes the OT scripture that Jesus is referencing. (I don’t feel like looking for it right now.)
Thus, this statement is made by both Jesus and the OT.
How can you both know that and support them going another $26 bil in unplayable debt to give to Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo?

Hiya, BR.
Broken record. You must be a delightful conversationalist.
You’re worried about giving Israel a pittance to fight a bunch of assholes intent on exterminating them. The assholes could have a nice little principality, but instead they’re compelled to kill the Jews while sending their allies over here to poison America’s politics with their hatred of our traditions because we’re not Islamists.
Ummm … I am not a delightful conversationalist as you sarcastically suspect. What of it?
It appears that you think that simple ad homs trump facts and analysis. If so, you are incorrect and a pretty lames conversationist yourself.

You’re worried about giving Israel a pittance to fight a bunch of assholes intent on exterminating them.
No, I am not worried. I’m pissed off at AIPAC/ADL-cowed American “leaders” giving $26,000,000,000 (i.e. not a “pittance”) that they don’t even have to finance collective punishment war crimes blowing innocent women and children to bits in America’s name!

UB, fyi, arguments work much better if you speak for yourself and allow your opponent to do the same. D’uh!
Why do you distort Netanyahu’s name OG? Yes he was PM on Oct.7 but any Israeli Prime Minister would have reacted the same way. War was declared on Israel, and Israel is taking the war to the enemy. Just like the US did to Japan in 1942. You say you want to have a ‘Man to Man’ debate on the matter, but how can there be a debate when you believe the Israeli govt controls Hamas, Hamas is carrying out Netanyahu’s bidding, and Oct, 7 was an ‘Inside job.’ How can any reasonable person argue with that kind of logic?
OG? OG? OG?
Settle down, JAZ. I was out this evening – at my Mom & Dad’s watching my cousin (their nephew) coach the Edmonton Oilers to now within one more win from the Stanley Cup Finals!
Seems Netanyahu, along with some of Hamas, has an arrest warrant or two on his head.
As for nuking innocent civilians in Japan, I have my own quote for that. Let me get it…
“The moment– and earlier– they dropped the bomb over Japan, they lost any position of moral/ethical superiority. The US corporate oligarchy is the number one arms/military dealer in the world, essentially breaking their own laws of aiding and abetting murder.” ~ Caelan MacIntyre
Well, Zaz, if the choice is between incinerating two cities and exterminating the Japanese people at a cost of a million or more of your own young men, what would YOU do?
As I’ve said in the past, a good many former GIs voted for Truman in 1948 because he ordered the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thereby (in their minds) saving their lives. That electing Truman set the stage for the Korean war via Dean Acheson’s stupid comment that Korea was outside America’s defense perimeter, which in turn led to Vietnam and all the chaos bred by that era. So I guess it really is too bad that we didn’t invade the Home Islands in 1946 and ’47 and kill all the Japs (no, Jarek, not JAPS, Japs — Japanese) because that could’ve given us President Dewey, possibly followed by Ike or Knowland, as Nixon remains in the Senate, JFK isn’t nominated or elected so the racist Johnson stayed in the Senate, and the rest of the post-WW2 era played out very differently.
Blob: Johnson loved the Tribe. He told the armed forces to let Israel sink The Liberty. What was a few American lives versus the honor of Israel?
What is your problem with this great Golem?

Nobody could cross without help. Hamas had help.

How can any reasonable person argue with that kind of logic?
But … that is the debate! WTF kind of debate is, “You must adhere to my stupid dogma to debate my stupid dogma or otherwise I won’t debate you!”?
Give your head a shake.
OK … you insist on debating things beyond Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo’s obvious inside job of 10/7 [“Israel’s 9/11”]? Fine.

But then I realized that by him messing around with a porn star or just screwing other women while being married…Why would she care if he got convicted? That’s what I’m going on by….Oh well One can only wonder what’s going to happen next. People said that a Civil War would happen, but on another website they were saying that’s what Biden and his cabal wants to happen. THey’ve done a lot to see if the other side will respond using violence, J6, etc..So far nothing. They have too much restraint compared to their enemies on the left.
You make some salient points there, TS.
You have good instincts.
I dunno. Did Killary seem to care that Billy might have gotten impeached?
Yes, J6 was a big entrapment operation. They would love to have more of those? At the same time you could also ask why would someone play into their enemies hands on their timeline.

I’m honestly thinking about bailing on the U.S. people say elsewhere in the world is shakey, that’s true it is…But America is like a lot of nations I use to fear traveling to because everytime I looked up warnings about said locations they would be marked as places you wanted to avoid due to how bad those places were due to political issues, etc….But the U.S. is such a liability now that I don’t want to be caught in the middle of a civil war conflict or more false flags…I wasn’t even in NY when 9/11 happened, but when it did I kept saying “What if I was in that building when the planes hit it? Or even worse, being inside the plane itself….” If you were at the bottom of the building vs being way at the top where the planes hit it, you had time to get the hell out of there.
But the U.S. is just way too unstable….Deep State is too big to destroy, and what they just did is an indication “Don’t fuck with Deep State, if you do. We’ll get you just like we got this guy.” I believe people are just too afraid to fight or do anything, even with all the weapons in the country….The nation is scared of Deep State.

Don’t leave the US, TSeeker. This is a big country and there are still a lot of good places to go. In a foreign country you’d be a refugee and an outsider. I’d get out of California tho, the Belly of the Beast.
@SSL
The white flight thing is not something I blame white people at all for doing. I understand why they do it…When your neighborhood is stacked full of people you want nothing to do with or be around. How can you fix or change it? You can’t, the only thing you can do is just leave. It’s the same thing with a country. I don’t know too many countries where people stayed and removed the people who took over it. They always fled from that country. But now there’s nowhere to really flee to anymore really….Still, the US is stacked full of people you can’t get rid of the peaceful way.
@SSL
Everyone is too afraid of getting locked up or killed…That’s the whole reason they are mad about Trump getting indicted. Nobody wants to fucking fight for the country, they expected him to do all the work. And he wouldn’t have done a damn thing about Deep State.

Actually, TS1986, SoftStarLight’s good suggestions jogged my memory about ASMR, a phenomenon I ran into on YT some years ago that I was already aware of for myself as an effect (one that apparently some don’t share).
Out of curiosity, I listened to a few YT channels and while most were ok, they didn’t do it for me as much as this one, ‘Gentle Whispering’:

“Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is the cornerstone of America. Our justice system. The justice system should be respected. And we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that. That’s America. That’s who we are, and that’s who we’ll always be, God willing.” ~ Joe Biden
Uh, no Joe, if our justice system was still “the cornerstone of America”, you would either (i) be serving time behind bars in an orange jump suit, or (ii) serving the remainder of your years in retirement.
St Helena Island is actually a beautiful place. That would be the perfect retirement location for a war criminal and it would poetically rhyme with history.
Your passion for islands is unending. What is a planet but an island? Or a galaxy for that matter.
A place separated off – a Temple. Perhaps you stay up late to find a peaceful island of consciousness in your mind.
Lol, well I haven’t thought about it that way I guess but it is more or less the reality. I find everything a bit quieter at night. And also there is a liminality about the night that isn’t quite there in the daytime and things and so it is easier to find a quiet place. Not sure if you experience this but I can also tell there are less frequencies at night. Maybe because more people are asleep and things are more dormant. But yeah, isn’t that crazy to think, that a galaxy is essentially an island.
My experience as well. It is so spiritually refreshing. But how do you make up for lost sleep? A day time nap? Or do you just not need that much?
Well, I don’t really make up the lost sleep, at least not to date. I am still figuring that part out. I never have really been a day time nap person. It always seems like there is so much to do and I guess my mind can’t rest as well in that state as I think of things I should be doing lol.
Based on dishonesty and deception, my initial thoughts are that it would be a shame to pollute paradise with the likes of “Joe Biden”.
“(Trump) decided to dedicate his final years to doing something for all those forgotten men in towns no one knows where all the factories got shipped to China and replaced by meth labs.

SSL, there was an interesting piece on today’s UKC news, speculating on the possibility of a new psyop involving something bacterial rather than viral. Currently there are increasing fearmongering stories about anti-microbial resistance and the speculation involves wondering if ‘they’ might introduce a bacterial illness (real or imaginary), make normal antibiotics the new ivermectin (i.e. we won’t get them) and oblige people to take doubleplusgood new mRNA antibiotics. The UKC people didn’t invent this out of thin air – there was footage of various developments suggesting this could be a thing.
Hmmm …
Very interesting! They have been periodically rolling out the whole deadly superbug narrative so they could certainly make more of it if they want. The scary part is how effective they are at getting mRNA into things. Will all over the counter meds eventually be mRNA based, for example.
SSL
When the investigations into Fauci are over, I hope no one goes near the term mRNA. The control freaks in the CDC and NIH will keep pushing for that technology. Remember the last variant about a year ago, the Deep State panicked because so few people took the poison. AW-W-W.
Listening to the rhetoric around the MHRA (our medicines regulator) and the usual suspects like Bill Gates and henchmen, the aim does indeed seem to be to make conventional medicines (i.e. what now passes for conventional) unavailable and they are indeed intending to make pretty much everything mRNA-based.
I presume that would eventually include OTC meds, but I don’t know.
I heard another interesting snippet in the same UKC episode. We were all told that the NHS was introduced by Aneurin Bevan (with a contribution from Beveridge’s report, which underpinned the whole welfare state thing). In fact it appears that the creation of the NHS grew out of a meeting between Beveridge and … drum roll … David Rockefeller. Flippin’ Rockefeller – again.
Basically, the NHS was set up to be the biggest data mining operation in history. That’s why our ‘representatives’ are placing the UK at the centre of the new Life Sciences (read: Big Pharma) global project.
The Rockefellers always seem to be involved in this sinister stuff. From what I understand they are mining all of this data so at a moments notice they can create a complete holographic like representation of any area of the Earth they want which includes any and all humans there and includes their real time biometric data, coordinates, thoughts, etc.
Of course the Rockefellers are in cahoots with the Rothschilds and both clans are massive Zionists. We all know that.
It amazes me how many otherwise smart CFNers are completely against EVERYTHING that the Rockefellers and Rothschilds do … except “Go Israel Go!” like barking seals.
Cognitive dissonance is a horrible malady. Unfortunately, I know it all too well (although mine was in my personal life as opposed to my geopolitical analysis).
I forget where I read it, but some speculate that they are going to do an aboutface on Ivermectin, admit that it was effective for covid, and then roll out a new bioweapon, tell us that Ivermectin also works for it, and then hand out some sort of poison pills labeled “Ivermectin”
It is not paranoid to consider the possibility that they would do that, it is reality-based caution, based on the memory of the past four years.
In any case, I’m not taking any Ivermectin recommended by Fauci or any “public health” officials.
Heh, SSL. You forgot the brand spanking new avian flu mRNA vaxx.

‘There will be a shoot out between Trump’s private security detail and the LE sent to put him in jail. Trump will die in the crossfire.’ RR opener.
Sensational but inaccurate. I think that probation and travel restrictions are humiliating enough and that they would get the job done. Of course, as usual, anything is possible. But yeah, a jailed martyr is one thing, and a dead one can’t be president.

Just as 36 hours ago, we do not know. On 4 days before the GOP convention, we will hear what the judge is going to do to Trump. All the pundits are saying that a felon with no criminal background, yadda, yadda should get probation or personal cognizance waiting for appeal.
They are forgetting one major thing, what Bragg and Mercham have been after all along, to stop Trump from campaigning this summer. They are going to max him out. There will be no leniency, they are after blood, they are Democrats.
I heard Jesse Watters on Fox yesterday saying that he thought he would be angry, but that all he felt was a ‘cool resignation’. Talk from others was about restraint.
You could be right. The Dems may have determined that the Right is mostly bark with very little bite.

Suggestion, if you get You tube search it for the country you are interested in with expat. The real estate companies for say Puerto Vallarta has of tons of posts to see. Try AJIJIC, Mexico to start. There are lots of relocation companies AND investigation companies for just about everywhere in Mexico. In Latin America, Costa Rica is popular and Belize is English speaking. Ecuador is popular on You Tube but is shaky in my opinion.
Jeff Berwick relocated to Mexico and he raves about the almost non-existent taxes and the freedom-loving spirit of the people there who would run the government officials out of town if they ever tried any of the crap that the rest of us North Americans tolerate without question.
His walk-and-talks are very entertaining and informative.

Typical hilariously ironical post from OG.
Jeff Berwick, net worth of $100 million, tooling around on a boat in Acapulco as if it’s Lives of the Rich and Famous. Just another bloviating bore who worships money and has no taste or class. Kinda like OG!
BTW, he made his $$, OG, from Bitcoin and … er, “offshore banking” (I’m sure you can imagine what that entails), and not gold.
But OG thinks that someone living a charmed life in a rich enclave of a seaside city means that he’s dialed in enough to comment accurately on the State of the Union in a diverse country of 130 million people.
BTW, here’s the skinny on safety in Acapulco in 2024 from Travellers Worldwide:
“Is Acapulco safe to visit in 2024?
No, Acapulco is not safe to visit at the moment. The city faces a significant issue with a high crime rate, particularly targeting foreigners, leading to various crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping, homicide, and drug trafficking. Multiple foreign governments advise their citizens to avoid Acapulco or exercise extreme caution when visiting due to these security concerns.”
So not only is Berwick full of shit concerning his adopted country, he doesn’t even know what’s happening (or purposely misrepresents it) in his own city.
I’d guess it’s number 1: why would he know what’s happening in his city when he obviously lives in a gated community, with carefully circumscribed parameters?
The hoi polloi? Let them eat stale beans! An anarcho-capitalist. LOL!
Berwick does not live in a gated community, SF. He’s now bought a ranch and lives a rural existence.
***
I never said that Berwick is God Almighty. I merely suggested that TS listen to him as TS expressed his desire to leave the USA but was unsure where the grass is greener.
The rest is just SF’s intellect-envy which he does not even try to contain.
***
We all spend much of our time here on CFN trying to determine the future. Berwick has a successful track record of determining the future. That makes him a credible source as he continues to predict the future.
D’uh!

[Berwick is] just another bloviating bore who worships money and has no taste or class. Kinda like OG!
FYI – I don’t worship money and have very little. Furthermore, I spent more than enough time with highfalutin people of “taste [and] class” in Toronto. It wasn’t for me. I’m a simple north-end Regina boy and proud of it.
Go ahead and feel superior with your (perceived) taste and class, SF, while I enjoy my life without such pretences.
But OG thinks that …
SF argues like a chick. Again. Constantly.
Men, of course, argue what they think and let their opponents speak for themselves while chicks constantly build strawmen and ad hom based on their strawmen.
***
I never said that Berwick made his money from gold. In fact, I never said anything about his money or how he made it. Yet SF builds his own little arguments in his own little mind and then spews it like it is relevant to what is actually being discussed in the real world.
I merely said, “[Berwick’s] walk-and-talks are very entertaining and informative.” The rest is just SF arguing like a chick once again. Strawmen for me and ad homs for Berwick.
“Berwick does not live in a gated community, SF. He’s now bought a ranch and lives a rural existence..” — OG
OG, arguing like a lawyer again. “I did not inhale.” And “I did not have sex with that woman.”, from Bill Clinton.
So his living on a ranch now cancels out his previous decade of living in a gated community, protected from the criminality that is endemic in his adopted country, and even the city he lives in? (I notice you didn’t answer any of that in your two responses.) Seems to me that a good prognosticator would have the simple facts of crime in one’s territory as a given.
And switching to a large spread on a ranch — obviously away from any dealings with us regular Joes on any basis at all — is, in essence, the same as being in an exurb gated community. But OG’s limited intelligence can’t grasp any parallels or contexts to a main argument.
“I never said that Berwick made his money from gold.” — OG
I never said you said that. My obvious point, you complete twit, is that Berwick made his money from Bitcoin whereas you constantly tout, to the exclusion of all other avenues, gold. So if he’s such a wonderful futurist, why aren’t you funneling all your available resources into Bitcoin instead of gold?
“I merely said, “[Berwick’s] walk-and-talks are very entertaining and informative.” ” — OG
Many grifting bloviators are “entertaining” … for about three minutes. An intelligent person, though, soon realizes that carnival barkers like Berwick are popular because of the 10 out of 10 constant outrage. It plays into the mouth-breathing credulity of a large percentage of the downtrodden hoi polloi. You’re simply one more involved in that weird cult (ironic that Berwick spends so much time mocking cults, but we’re all versed in the concept of projection by now).
You claim for all to read that Berwick “obviously lives in a gated community” I correct your error with fact … so do you reply, “I stand corrected” – like a man?
No! I argue like a lawyer and like Bill Clinton!
Fuck you.
So his living on a ranch now cancels out his previous decade of living in a gated community, protected from the criminality that is endemic in his adopted country, and even the city he lives in?
No. What a bizarre strawman.
I am not saying anything about Berwick aside from I find him entertaining and he has his own experienced opinions vis-à-vis TS’s thoughts of leaving the USA.
Wow! I can only point to people that you’ve researched their history and approve of?
Fuck you.
But OG’s limited intelligence can’t grasp any parallels or contexts to a main argument.
That’s not true, SF. I do recognize your main argument: “I don’t like you and will, therefore, attack with full conviction and mediocre intellect.” I get it.
And fuck you.
My obvious point, you complete twit, is that Berwick made his money from Bitcoin whereas you constantly tout, to the exclusion of all other avenues, gold. So if he’s such a wonderful futurist, why aren’t you funneling all your available resources into Bitcoin instead of gold?
That’s not true, SF.
While I do highly recommend gold for wealth storage and silver for currency as the US$ fiat ass-wipe nears total collapse, I never excluded “all other avenues.” That’d be stupid as prepping for US$ collapse includes a multitude of wise investments.
FYI – You’d look less stupid if you stopped making up lame arguments for me on my behalf. Enough with the little-girl strawmen already, little girl.
To answer your (very rude) question, I have not funnelled my extremely limited available resources into Bitcoin instead of gold because I believe that Bitcoin is a trap and, when Russia tracked the Kockus terrorists’ Bitcoin transactions immediately, it exposed, imho, how bullshit the entire instrument truly is.

Go fuck yourself, little chick brain.
You know, OG, I am the one who responded to your correction last post with “I stand corrected”.
Yet this is the second time since then, that you have stated that saying that phrase is somehow “manly”, (although I don’t think I’ve ever seen any man here say it), completely ignoring that it was a woman who said it to you.
This, while throwing “insults” at SF about being a woman.
SF has a lot of faults, but being a woman is not one of them, (not that being a woman should be considered a fault at all.)
I hereby request that you come up with a different insult for SF, one that doesn’t insult half the human race when you mean to insult one man.
Hi Paula. You are correct: any debater, man or woman, is noble to state, “I stand corrected” when appropriate. Pride is a horrible sin.
Men and women are, however, very different from one another. God knows what He’s doing.
In circles of men, we rightly ridicule little “pussies” like SF who act like women. SF argues like a chick. I’m not making it up. I regularly point of specific incidents where she does it over and over again.
Throughout all of mankind’s history, we have used this social ridicule to tamp down such undesirable behaviour lest we become a bunch of girly-men.
I apologize if this reality offends you and please do not take it as a slight of women. Women are truly our better half. Women are nurturers and care-givers and home-builders and peace-makers.
When a woman acts like a woman, it is beautiful. When a “man” acts like a woman, however, it needs to be nipped in the bud lest it become commonplace (to the detriment of all men and women).
Yes, men and women are different in many ways, but putting up a strawman is not solely a female thing to do. It is a logical fallacy, known for centuries, back when it was only men who argued with each other.
Also “chick brain” is not a compliment.

Everything that’s happening with Trump is politically motivated persecution of one’s political rival, and it’s being done before the eyes of the American public and the whole world. It demonstrates all the rottenness of the US political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy.
That is from V. Putin, 12 September 2023, x.com/PutinDirect.
Interesting take here too, from John Leake, SD, (JL is a collaborator of Peter McCullough).
petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/trump-found-guilty-on-all-counts
He’s comparing the event with how Hitler ended all opposition from the Wehrmacht by inventing trumped-up (sorry) charges against two officers who were putting a spanner in the works, as regards war preparations.
‘The emperor has no clothes.’
…from a global perspective no less…
Here is a good question.
How come Biden is not on the ICCV list as a war criminal. Isn’t he and his mob responsible for the war crimes in Ukraine as they started it?
You just don’t get it, do you JAZ?
The ICC and the ICJ do not issue arrest warrants willy-nilly at all aggressors of all wars. For the most part, Russia vs. Ukraine has been combatants vs. combatants (i.e. war, not war crimes).
On the other hand, Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo is clearly committing collective punishment against innocent civilian women and children and that clearly is a war crime.
Please do try and keep up.
Bullshit, OG, Ukraine has been hitting civilians since it started. You have not kept up with all the media shots of the apartments and civilian centers that the Russians supposed hit and the Ukes in reverse.
next time you use one of you patronizing statements, please look in the mirror first.
For the most part, Russia vs. Ukraine has been combatants vs. combatants (i.e. war, not war crimes).
I guess reading comprehension is not your strong suit, eh?
Further, your question was about the ICC & ICJ charging Biden!
If it makes you feel any better, JAZ, the ICC and/or ICJ (I’m unsure which one at this moment) has indeed issued an arrest warrant for Putin.
Regardless,
a) “Why arrest me for bank robbery when there are other bank robbers?” holds no water and
b) Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo’s collective punishment of ALL 2.3mm Gazans is not even in the same league as the Russia/Ukraine war. Clearly.
A repeat of my “moderated” post, as they never come out of moderation. What a PITA.
Canadian MPs want ‘ecocide’ perpetrators prosecuted by International Criminal Court
“Several Canadian MPs want to see ‘ecocide’ acknowledged by the International Criminal Court as a crime for international prosecution.
The panel held a press conference in Ottawa on Thursday to discuss their support for mass environmental destruction, referred to as ecocide, to be added to the list of crimes that the ICC can prosecute.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, Liberal MP Patrick Weiler, and NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice were among the MPs who sat on the panel along with Mia Feldman, Ecocide Toronto’s outreach director and two other organization members.
“As we speak, Canada is burning,” said Feldman in her opening remarks. “We are only in May and climate exacerbated wildfires are already burning in several provinces.”
“It is clear that our current legislation is insufficient. It is clear that we need a law against ecocide.” she added.
“A majority of mass environmental destruction is greenlit by a few powerful individuals. Criminalizing ecocide would change the decision-making calculus for these individuals by holding them criminally liable.”
tnc.news/2024/05/31/canadian-mps-want-ecocide-prosecuted-icc/
It sems to me they already have laws against arson in Canada.
If they were set fires, they wouldn’t be wildfires, but I guess now there is a new kind of lighting fires, “greenlighting”.
Something else to charge Donald Trump with, no doubt.
The ICC is not for regular criminals, it is for leaders of countries that have run afoul of the US Empire, mostly in Africa.
Canada is a leader on “hate crimes” (as well as “hate speech”), but the US has also fallen prey to it.
You are right, arson is already a crime. A person who commits crimes can be prosecuted for that crime.
What “hate crimes” do is add prison time for what a person is thinking while they commit the crime, truly a heinous Orwellian invention.
What’s more, the court gets to decide what the person was thinking at the time, as if it is possible to read other people’s minds. (Although our overlords are working on that, also.)
Not to mention the most obvious part here. It is most likely the Establishment who is hiring arsonists, not some random person who hates the environment, and is capable of being in two or more places at once, to set fires.
*********BREAKING NEWS****************
With the IDF closing in on the final relegation of the Jihadi vermin in Gaza to the dustbin of history, Israel has announced that it expects to begin the full scale invasion of Canada by late summer.
IDF planners expect a short campaign as Canadian “male” “soldiers” are anticipated to exhaust their stockpiles of bloody tampons thrown at the enemy in a few weeks. The Canadian battle doctrine of attempting to shame the invaders for their toxic masculinity is untested in actual combat and is not expected to deter the IDF.
Perhaps sensitive to criticisms that he has not formulated a plan for the “day after” in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a clearly delineated strategy for post conflict Canada. Leaked details of the plan called for Canada to be renamed the Province of Phagistan (“Phag” is a Hebrew technical term for a male with heightened levels of estrogen). The occupying Israeli forces will also mandate that all “males” must now stand up to pee, ending a custom that goes back to the founding of Canada.
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the leaked post-conflict plan is the Israeli intent to settle all Phags (Canadians) in Madagascar within a year of the unconditional surrender of Canadian forces. The UN has approved the removal, stating that the Phags(Canadians) have been too slow in finding all the imaginary mass graves at Catholic Residential Schools. A UN official said that tree roots simply do not forward the cause of intersectional victimhood and for that the Phags are subject to international opprobrium and possible action by the ICC. The official also stated that once the Phags get to Madagascar, they will instantly be classified as white settler colonialists and be subject to sanctions from UN Permanent Shithole ™ members like South Africa.

It was yet another fine display of Canadian testosterone on, of course, both teams as they battled for a birth into the Stanley Cup Final. With the road victory tonight, the Oilers claimed a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series and will try to advance to the Cup Final with another win in Game 6 in Edmonton on Sunday.

Big difference.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces already are capable on HIMARS. Howard’s opinion is contrarian. The UAF have been destroying & will be destroying; terrorist missile ships, landing ships, minesweepers, train & oil tanker ferries, submarines, drydocks, corvettes, ports, oil storage, naval & army hq’s, logistical nodes. troop training & massing nodes, radar stations, aircraft & air defense systems that can’t defend the air before being blasted to smithereens.
Furthermore, the clustering of invaders on terrorist borders is perfect for the application of cluster munitions via HIMARS. The terrorists will be duly and literally shredded. Howard mentioned the smell of burning flesh. He ought to know then the smell of discombobulated body parts of rotting flesh on the invaders territory.
Remember Jesus comparing the Jewish leadership with a sepulcher? White and shiny on the outside and corrupted on the inside.

Here, you are arguing against yourself again, JAZ. This is why I was wondering a couple of days ago if perhaps sometimes you “forget” to take your meds.

Besides, Jesus arranged His own death during Holy Week to follow His Fathers directives and complete Scripture.
There is no damn excuse for Christian Jew Haters through the centuries.

A lot of talk recently about Russia throwing a nuke. Here’s my 2¢:
I still think it’s sabre-rattling.
While highly unlikely, Russia might fire a nuclear shot across the bow, but even that is exceedingly risky.
Quite some time ago, I read a little of some details of the Cuban Missile Crisis where, if recalled and if true, a Russian submarine commander balked at launching a nuke.
NATO/US might be counting on that and on a conventional and asymmetric approach to breaking up Russia as if it was a monopoly corporation.
It also appears that the US is playing the ‘Ukraine/Israel’ proxy game in Guyana, vis-a-vis Venezuela, which has one of the largest oil reserves on the planet.
I’d keep an eye on that part of the world as well.
US announces military exercise in Guyana and Venezuela responds: ‘Threat to regional peace’

Correction above: The second ‘and’ should be ‘are’.
That is actual funny Zaz. Will there be a race between the USA and Russia to see who breaks up first? Has he US/NATO group forgotten the USSR already broke up once?
Special Periods
Ukraine’s a stage at Russia, Guyana’s a stage at Venezuela, and Israel’s a stage at MENA (with Palestinians sharing it and therefore in the way). Probably others out there too.
The playbook appears to find and/or create local sociopolitical fissures/tensions in places of EU/UK/US & other Allies’ energy/oil & other valuable resource interests, and somehow exacerbate and/or leverage them to get at those interests.
Of course if US/Etc. don’t get what they’re after, the general lifestyles of their populations diminishes futher and faster toward that world made by hand or a more permanent version of Cuba’s Special Period.
Cuba past and present: The Special Period

A special period; coming to a town near you.
“The Special Period
… was an extended period of economic crisis in Cuba that began in 1991 primarily due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Comecon. The economic depression of the Special Period was at its most severe in the early to mid-1990s. Things improved towards the end of the decade once Hugo Chávez’s Venezuela emerged as Cuba’s primary trading partner and diplomatic ally, and especially after the year 2000 once Cuba–Russia relations improved under the presidency of Vladimir Putin.
Privations during the Special Period included extreme reductions of rationed foods at state-subsidized prices, severe energy shortages, and the shrinking of an economy overdependent on Soviet imports. The period radically transformed Cuban society and the economy, as it necessitated the introduction of organic agriculture, decreased use of automobiles, and overhauled industry, health, and diet countrywide. People were forced to live without many goods and services that had been available since the beginning of the 20th century.” ~ Wikipedia
Youtuber ‘Joe Blogs’ is saying now Cuba is in a state of total economic collapse with no end in sight. Apparently the place is literally falling apart; one thing he reported that stands out in my mind is there ‘there is not a gallon of paint to be had on the entire Island.” (for people who want to fix up their houses). There are food shortages but no famine yet. My wife has relatives in Cuba who we have been trying to locate in order to help out a little, so far with no success. I’ve been hoping one of our Presidents over the past 25 years would lift whatever sanctions we still have on Cuba and normalize relations with that country. It’s about time, the Cold War has been over for almost 35 years now.

You claim that you want to debate “man to man” with me, Heckler. Well, here’s your chance:

As a proud American, Heckler, what are your thoughts on The Dirty Dozen and their completely off-the-rails diplomacy?
What Zaz has just posted about Cuba is exactly the lifestyle that will be the norm in the US in around 5 years or so. That’s what a post industrial society looks like. A dead dollar will have the same effect on the US as a naval blockade on both our coasts. We’ll be just as poor as Cuba, and we’ll be driving old junky cars.
Good observation , Groundhog. What happens to a society that sends its manufacturing capability to other countries? It becomes a service economy that slowly erodes over time.
Especially when the PTB accelerate the process by bringing in indigent immigration to contest for the declining labor opportunities.

It’s weird, eh John? TPTB have got absolutely EVERYTHING wrong (and completely AGAINST the American people) except for its never-ending support of Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo.
Think about it.
It is true that when the USSR was destroyed, Cuba lost the fuel and fertilizer that the USSR had supplied them with. The same thing happened in the DPRK.
It is also true that Cuba responded by switching to organic agriculture, with the result that the health of the population improved.
OMIGOD!!!!!!! The horror!!!!
And driving old cars? Can there be anything worse than that?
It’d be better to die in a nuclear war. Right, guys?
“It is also true that Cuba responded by switching to organic agriculture, with the result that the health of the population improved.”
When Cuba lost access to chemical fertilizers their soil health started improving and that makes for healthier plants. Believe it or not, the healthier a garden plant is – the less it will be attacked by insects. Most people have trouble believing this but I see it and experience it.
For example, the soil in my tater patch is rich, loose, and dark from my having added countless dump truck loads of leaves. The city delivers the leaves to me for free, they need a place to dump them anyway after they pick them up from peoples’ curbs in fall. The leaves compost and pack down in winter, and I spred them all over my garden in spring as mulch. Leaves keep the soil moist and cooler in hot weather, and when they decay they add minerals and organic matter to the soil. I also spread winter’s wood heater ashes in the garden for keeping the ph from getting too acid from all the leaves. Wood ashes are a good natural source of minerals as well. Steady gardening on the same spot will eventuall lower the mineral content of your soil.
I used to spray for Colorado beetles and flea beetles that would damage my taters, but not anymore. I’ve hardly any insect problems at all in the veggie garden these days. Once you get your soil as good as it gets there’s no need to be blasting your garden space with pesticides or loading your soil up with chemical fertilizers. That’s how organic gardeing works and finding a good source of compost is critical. The stuff can be very expensive if you must buy it and have it delivered.
I hear it’s also bad to till the soil, as it disrupts different things in it. Even when I dig a small hole to plant a small potted plant or seedling, I’ll inevitably upset a worm or more. What I’ve started doing is to dig more slowly to give them a warning, with the idea that maybe they can sense danger and retreat further away in their tunnels.
When I mow the lawn, I rake the grass and use it as mulch/fertilizer.
It’s full of nitrogen, which is what is in chemical fertilizers, but in a non-poisonous form, and also free.
It improves the soil also.
You know something OG? A genuine Christian is supposed to display the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance . There are none of these attibutes in your posts . NONE . You might want to meditate over 2nd Corinthians 13:5. Reading your constant putdowns of JAZ cause me to long for a block button.
You’re right, CM. I am flawed. Like all mortals, I am FAR from perfect.
But I will continue fighting war crimes and supporters of war crimes on this geopolitical blog.
JAZ blindly supports war crimes while innocent women and children are being blown to bits with American debt and your biggest concern is my opposing that travesty?
Since posting this reply to you, CM, I scrolled up a bit and saw that JAZ called me an “idiot” so I guess you’ll be asking him to also reflect on scripture vis-à-vis his shortcomings too, eh?
Or are you so morally bankrupt that you 100% side with war crimes over talk of peace?
Not just me, CM, anyone who supports the existence of Israel, BRH for one.
Avoiding conversations with him about Israel is my ticket. “Hiya, BR” will be my simple response.
How very childlike of you, John. How very closed-minded and infantile.

What does “BR” stand for?
Broken Record.
JAZ believes that he can simply ignore facts and logic that go against his closed-minded little hawk-brain thoughts by ad homming those he will not debate (like a man).
That’s pure bull shit, JAZ. I have NEVER argued against the existence of Israel.
I have argued against Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo, his murderous policies and AIPAC/ADL-occupied DC bankrolling him with your collective debt.

Ok John, how can we move from opinions to facts? I’m not concerned with opinions.
Arguing with words that each have multiple definitions is causing the problem.
Not all opinions are created equal, JAZ. Some people toil for peace while others support the evil war crimes of blowing innocent women and children to bits.
I thank God that our words are noticed and that I will face Him on His glorious Judgement Day as a man who argued for peace and against war crimes.

America as a unit is going to break into smaller units as the diversity from the recent immigration really takes hold. There is no common culture in the USA any more. California has very little in common with New York, Florida with Washington state.
Russia had the same experience with the USSR and we know what happened there.
India and Pakistan separated and millions moved to go to their zone. The USA may follow these two examples.

from On Francisco Franco
Competently illustrating this weak-kneed and incoherent line of thought among the modern Right, Peter Hitchens wrote a recent piece in First Things about Franco. Hitchens was, in fact, also reviewing Moradellios’s book, and his review exquisitely demonstrates this intellectual confusion and theological incoherence. He goes on at great length about the evils of the Republicans and how their victory would have been disastrous for Spain. But then he goes on at greater length telling us that Christians cannot look to Franco, because he committed “crimes,” none of which are specified in the review (or, for that matter, in the book being reviewed), probably because to specify them would make them seem not very crime-like. We must therefore reject Franco, Hitchens tells us, for an unspecified alternative that was most definitely not on offer in 1936, and is probably not going to be on offer if, in the future, we are faced with similar circumstances. This is foolishness. (It is not helped by Hitchens’s self-focus and his repeated attempts to establish his own personal intellectual superiority, sniffing, for example, that Franco watched television and “had no personal library,” though if Hitchens had read Payne, he would know that was because the Republicans destroyed it in 1936.) And Hitchens whines that Franco “hardly ever said or wrote anything interesting in his life,” which is false (and if true would be irrelevant), though in part explained by Franco’s oft-repeated dictum that “One is a slave to what one says but the owner of one’s silence.”
Hitchens squirms a bit, though, when he (at least being intellectually honest) quotes Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s ringing endorsement of Franco. “I saw that Franco had made a heroic and colossal attempt to save his country from disintegration. With this understanding there also came amazement: there had been destruction all around, but with firm tactics Franco had managed to have Spain sidestep the Second World War without involving itself, and for twenty, thirty, thirty-five years, had kept Spain Christian against all history’s laws of decline! But then in the thirty-seventh year of his rule he died, dying to a chorus of nasty jeers from the European socialists, radicals, and liberals.” Hitchens, for no stated reason, seems to think that Moradiellos’s book proves Solzhenitsyn wrong, when the exact opposite is the case. Hitchens even ascribes Solzhenitsyn’s praise to “infatuation on the rebound,” whatever that means, though the quote is from the late 1970s (from the recently released autobiography Between Two Millstones), long after Solzhenitsyn’s experiences in the Gulag. Probably realizing how weak his argument is, Hitchens then switches gears without acknowledging it, dropping the “crimes” line and claiming that since Franco’s work was all undone rapidly after his death, Franco was bad. Which is even more intellectually sieve-like.
The lack of mental rigor in this line of thought can be seen if we switch the focus from Franco to any one of scores of Christian heroes of the past. Once you leave Saint Francis of Assisi behind, any Christian military hero plucked at random from the pages of history did far worse things to his enemies, and often to his friends, than Franco. Try Charlemagne. Or Saint Louis IX. Or Richard II Lionheart. Or El Cid. Or Don Juan of Austria. All wars fought to decide ultimate questions are unpleasant and involve acts that endanger the souls of men. It is merely the proximity of Franco to us in time, combined with the lack of steel that has affected many Christians for decades now, that makes Hitchens shrink from endorsing Franco and his deeds, all his deeds. In two hundred years if, God willing, the Left and its Enlightenment principles are nothing but a faded memory and a cautionary tale, Hitchens’s complaints will seem utterly bizarre, like a belief that the Amazons were real. Would I care to stand in Franco’s shoes before the judgment seat of Christ? Not particularly. But I am far from certain that it would be an uncomfortable position.
Jarek: My admiration for Solzhenitsyn rises even higher. All good men praise Francisco Franco if they really know him and his deeds. Hitchens and Scruton were/are not utterly bad, but they have not escaped the downward spiral of this Iron Age.
All Americans really care about is making money and a government that will leave them alone so they can do that. Utterly fatuous of course. If you’re crushing your economic opponents, putting them out of work, the system feels great, right? This is how they are.
“All Americans really care about is making money and a government that will leave them alone so they can do that.”
Yes. That’s the exact message from OG’s newest guru, Jeff Berwick.
Jeff Berwick is not my “guru,” SF. As I stated, I find his walk-and-talks very entertaining and informative. He cracks me up big-time and I, too, believe in limited government that mainly leaves its population alone to pursue happiness.

Do you have a list of people that you approve of that I may listen to?
“I find his walk-and-talks very entertaining and informative. He cracks me up big-time.” — OG
Of course he cracks you up. He has the charm, wit and grace of a cocaine-infused day trader. But your line of defense is pathetic and irrelevant. The more important reason you like him is that you’ve bought (first) into his apocalyptic vision (everything points to an apocalypse with you), and then into his solution: Bitcoin! LOL!
All conmen have the same modus operandi: state the problem in hysterical terms, then provide the solution (which, in itself, always goes smoothly, of course).
BTW, maybe you need to do more research on your guru: Berwick isn’t for “limited government”, whatever the hell that means. He’s for NO gov’t. He’s a capitalist libertarian, or, as he’s also accurately described, an anarcho-capitalist (OG’s head explodes as he tries to defend that oxymoron).
I’m not DEFENDING anything, you piece of shit. I’ll listen to whomever I like, thank you very much.
Jeff Berwick is not my “guru” and I have never bought “into his solution: Bitcoin! LOL!” Just the opposite, I believe that Bitcoin is a Deep State trap. Try and keep up.
So, once again, fuck you.

Yes, I have been watching the world hurtle towards God’s promised Apocalypse since the 1980s – as is my right.

Just like a chick, you are. Sad but true.
“So Berwick advocates anarchy while I limited government. That merely proves that you are wrong (yet again) calling him my “guru” while I merely find the guy entertaining and informative (as stated SEVERAL times now).” — OG
Saying something over and over doesn’t make it relevant or true just because of repetition. As Goebells said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
The obvious question taken from your line of defense is: why would you continue to support and extol the virtues of someone who you have core differences with in your putative visions and beliefs? Rather odd, no?
I “support” him by watching his videos (for free on BitChute) and laughing at his jokes while he entertains and informs me, you girly dip-shit.
I merely suggested (not extolled) that TS try watching Berwick himself because he has experience in leaving the USA while TS contemplates the very same thing, you girly dip-shit.

You keep calling him my “guru.” I then keep denying that ludicrous notion. So now I’m Goebells? Fuck you, you girly dip-shit.

I don’t give a shit if you find it odd that I enjoy watching Jeff Berwick’s walk-and-talks while he believes in anarchy and I believe in limited government. I’ve been called odd before and I’ll be called odd again – and by better men than you I might add.
Of course, this is coming from the dip-shit who tried to tell a 22-year Bay-Street veteran what Bay Street is like – even though he’s never actually been there and clearly demonstrated that he has no fucking clue what happens there.

You’re 0-for-3, you girly dip-shit.
I appreciate your commitment to our culture and its written legacy. But again I remind you of the ancient adage: Beware the man of few books.
Jarek,
I saw that admonition from you a week or so ago, and would’ve responded then, but I only got to it a week after the fact.
I agree with you — primitive genius, street smarts, intuitive intelligence, call it what you want, it all exists. I’ve experienced enough of it to admire, even revere, certain of those people that I’ve crossed paths with in this life.
But OG isn’t one of them. His “intelligence” is derivative, shallow, and lacks perspective.
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
And he quotes movies.
A classic retard move.
LOL.
“Berlin gave me the blues. We have destroyed what could’ve been a good race, and we are about to replace them with Mongolian savages.” “… The English and the Americans have destroyed in Europe the only sound country – and I do not mean France….Actually, the Germans are the only decent people left in Europe… What we are doing is to destroy the only semi-modern state in Europe, so that Russia can swallow the whole.”

Jarek: The Mongolians went back home, so they had to use Arabs, Turks, etc. Night Owl seems fine with it. Capitalists love cheap labor.
But they won’t love the cheap labor when it starts raping their daughters and wives, and breaking in their homes to steal their stuff. Currently in the early stages.
The PTB in Dc have overdone it, they have overloaded the amount of incoming people. They also are not insisting on assimilation of these people. They might get cheap labor, but they are absorbing the dregs.
Yes, Jarek, you are right. Capitalists love cheap labor. But-
They provide the need for labor, AKA jobs.
Think of Hawaii, where the price pressure is so high that the labor folks cannot afford to live there. They were offering walk on teachers jobs there a couple of years ago, but once there they leave in a year because they cannot afford the cost of living.
You are right in that the Deep State wants cheap labor, but-
Why do they raise the minimum wage to the point that businesses go robotic or lay off or shut down? Eating $25 McDonalds meals is infuriating.
So how to stop the inherent inflation that always seems to happen? Keep the government out of it, and do not allow the formation of super corporations. As super corporations are a product of government taxation and regulation, just leave the government out of it.
One comment on your admiration for Germans,
Eisenhower agreed with you, he saw a technological powerhouse. A road system so advanced that he built one in the US, the Interstate system. The American rocket industry grabbed half of the V2 guys in Germany, the Russians the other half. Germans are a big % of the American White population. Mein Kampf was a book written by a Austrian jail bird that showed admiration for the German people, he just overdid it.
AZ: Think of $25 meals at McDonald’s as a GOOD THING!!!! Hopefully it will prevent poor people from eating carcinogenic and inflammatory garbage. This will lower health care costs substantially. (BUT, it will hurt big pharma and big medicine).
Keep the government out of it, and do not allow the formation of super corporations. As super corporations are a product of government taxation and regulation, just leave the government out of it.
It’s comical watching JAZ argue with himself.
Well, OG, you show again you do not read well. My statement is right on. Jarek and I argue capitalism vs. Socialism. My comment is that both crony capitalism and government are power based and evil..Thus as crony capitalism is a product of bad government, get rid of bad government and both causes are accomplished. No arguing with anything.
Regulate no super corporations by having no regulations?
C’mon.
Yes, that’s why Ike killed hundreds of thousands of them in his POW death camps. No doubt he was just following orders. His dog like obedience to Bernard Baruch is what got him put above vastly more qualified men.

How to cure inflation? Maybe stop the practice of loaning our money into existence a la the Federal Reserve Act for starters.
I’m sure there is more. But that’s pretty obvious. The Jail Bird hired an economic genius named Gustav Feder who pulled off the Economic Renaissance of Nazi Germany. He might be worth a look too.
yep, but what do you do when you have over promised your constituency for so long that your debt profile is garbage. Buying votes is the downfall of any government.
BTW, a microeconomic axiom,
When you borrow money to pay for interest, you are bankrupt.
Ha, the USA government, heck the IMF are so far beyond that—.
Also, money is man-hours. when the US, under Obama, sent all those jobs overseas, the number of man-hours plummeted. So print it up, less man-hours less goods, more fiat money-
Voila, inflation.
To fix it, easy, bring manufacturing back to the USA, real manufacturing, not weapons.
Uh huh, easy?

Only boomers watch commercials. We know the boomers’ legacy. Not good.
Then grow your own food. And barter for the rest with others. A most revolutionary act.
Then don’t vote.
Then pray to your conception of God, Gods, Goddess, as the supreme good, for help. Pray for others and yourself every day.
Only visit corporate poison marts for the least possible poisonous oil, salt, dry rice & beans, etc. Obtain anything fresh from within a bike ride. Have good relations with the growers.
Make yourself useful. Instead of bitching about R & D, help the local school w their comm garden.
You get the drift. The hour is late. No man is an island. Reject Babylon.
Oh, phones. WalMy has burners for $30 bucks or so, and about that a month for your calls. That’s all it does. You pay cash. While it is still good.
Have barter goods. Have friends around you.
Cheers!
Much of what you suggest is pie in the sky for most. Grow your own food. Then barter. Fresh from within a bike ride. Good relations with the growers.
And you seem to suggest burying one’s head in the sand in the face of forced racial transformation. No way, Jose!
Community gardens? A lot of hippie horse hockey. Maybe after the Die-Centennial.

@ tucsonspur:
It’s actually quite easy to throw out your TV–though I suppose you might want to keep it around for watching old movies. I used to have a huge old analog TV that I never got a converter box for, back when everything went digital. It was great for watching movies, and even listening to music, as it had great speakers.
Rulo probably finds it fairly easy to barter for many things, as he is a farmers’ market vendor. I used to sell at farmers’ markets, and it was common for other vendors to offer to trade me some tomatoes for a bar of soap or a bath bomb. But bartering is problematic for most people. It could work out well in a collapsed economy, if communities went back to the old custom of holding “market days” or “fairs,” where everyone got together about once a week to sell or trade their wares.
I agree about community gardens. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where they would work. I do agree that you should make yourself useful. The best opportunities for this are found in churches. Volunteer to clean the church, help with the rummage sale, cook for the special occasions (and help clean up afterwards), etc. You could volunteer to help out at community centers and other community service organizations. You could teach skill at your local library. (Our local library hosts all kinds of things, from teaching crafts to a book club and writers’ club.) I’ve often thought that we need small-business club to help beginning entrepreneurs with business start-ups. There’s a lot to know.
I don’t think that a person should bury his head in the sand. On the other hand, you have to realize that we are living through the collapse of a civilization/empire. You can’t any more fix this than some guy living in Rome in the year one, AD, could have rooted out the corruption and restored Rome to its republican days of glory.
All you can really do in the present case is to try to secure some measure of safety and prosperity for yourself and your loved ones, and work to preserve your culture, values, religion, and the related intellectual and artistic attainments. The best you can hope for is to be among the remnant, and the first step to that is to figure out some way to remain.
I still have an old 36-inch big glass tube set that I can’t throw out simply because it was at the apex of that now dated technology.
We pretty much agree. Nice closing line.
I have not watched TV since 2003 or so.
I actually agree with the Tucson Slur for once: hippy-style community projects aren’t going anywhere except toward another socialist dystopia.
You have your own garden and exchange things as needed with others. Support local growers, etc.

What is the main cause, the underlying foundation, the root of all the slaughter, the killing, the maiming, the butchery, the savagery in the Middle East?
Let me spell it out for all the reality deniers; R E L I G I O N
No, don’t give me any of that ‘old time religion’ horseshit. It’s bad enough for me.
Yes, And OIL and the control of it.
Man-made religion is bad news.
It is bad news because its source is ethnocentrism.
Ha! Every once in a while we land on the same page, JAZ.
Yep, as I have said to many folks here, you and I agree on just about everything except-.
You want compassion, I want a finale.
Oh … we will most assuredly will get a great big honkin’ finale!
Right. Religion is man-made and usually causes more problems than it solves.
On the other hand, personal faith in God is where it’s at, man!
***
BTW, the Middle East’s problems are not as tidy as many think. Most simply think of Judaism vs Islam and completely miss the fact that the top-tier Zionists are Satanists.
Oil and its control.
Iran vs. Saudi Arabia and Emirates.
Since 1943, the USA has been,by treaty, responsible for the defense of Saudi Arabia.
Against who? For the control of the Persian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz.
And yes, OG, Jesus taught what you said.
Hallelujah! Thank you all for your honesty, your clarity of mind!
Love [ worship ] of money [ wealth leading to power ].
Who has been defending religion?
Sometimes the savagery, the killing, the maiming, the slaughter is carried out by people who are hostile to organized religion, for example, the Nazis vs the Bolskeviks 1941-1945. Another example is the Vietnam-Kyhmer Rouge war in the 70s, and the Vietnam-China war in 1980. Those Asian wars were short but brutal. Religion wasn’t involved as any kind of worship was illegal in those countries. Oddly enough, it was the Nazis who were most tolerant toward Catholics & Protestants inside Germany, not supportive, but not looting churches like in Russia and China.
@ tucsonspur:
The nations in the Middle East have been at drawn swords with each other since lolng before they invented swords (i.e., steel). They were probably going at it before they invented the wheel and domesticated the horse.
Wherever you have a long history of conflict, you have multi-generational hatreds that span centuries or even millennia.
“What is the main cause, the underlying foundation, the root of all the slaughter, the killing, the maiming, the butchery, the savagery in the Middle East?
Let me spell it out for all the reality deniers; R E L I G I O N”
The comments above will also make perfect sense if you replace “Middle East” with “European Middle Ages”. If you have taken courses in European history or taken the time to read a long series of history books about the subject – you will encounter a lot of slaughter and butchery. The stories begin with swordpoint conversions to Chrisitianity during the time of Charlemagne, then it continues with the ghastly Crusades starting with the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars. Then we can follow with tales of the Inquisitions followed by some really horrifying times like the 30 Years War. Germany was supposedly a Christian nation at the time and yet this religious war managed to kill up to 1/2 the entire population of Germany by the time it was all over. Much of the death toll in the 30 Years War wasn’t from battlefield injuries but from death due to loss of food supply followed by disease. German “Christians” showed their asses to the world and to historians and readers coming centuries later. These good Christian Germans justified acts of utter self destruction and self immolation with religious hogwash. There were doubtless preachers in pulpits who were taking sides in the fight and encouraging their flocks to turn no cheeks. Instead, aim a lance or a sword at those infidel hearts or faces.
And how did the 30 years war start? If I remember correctly in my old age, some Catholic Church authority or authorities got tossed out a second floor window onto a dung heap just below. I’d imagine there were no injuries as manure is very soft. Remember bad boy Biff in the “Back to the Future” movies? He was always landing in manure at high speed and came out without a scratch. It was a matter of hurting somebody’s feelings. And because some Church dudes got their feelings hurt in a manure pile – that meant it was time for Germans everywhere to hack their “Christian brothers” to pieces on battlefields.
We could continue here with horrifying stories about the Crusades but the 30 years war is the best example of what religious madness can lead people towards. In the 1800’s the military fighting between all the various denominations came to an end and now we fight only using words, like on CFN. In the 1900’s an entire new culture of fighting emerged. This time the fighting culture destroyed vast numbers of civilians, and the excuses given were no longer directly tied to religious disputes.
The calamity of WWI emerged on the scene because the descendants of Queen Victoria weren’t on speaking terms and decided to fight each other instead? Some bunch of Christians they were. The Church never complained much about the habits of “Christian” males gathering for century after century on various battlefields, fighting for various kings and dukes, all of it done under the banner of the cross. Like Constantine’s vision of the cross. Holy warfare done according to the rules of Jesus. Jesus preached “Do worse unto others than the worst they have done unto you. Kill them all and let God sort them out!”
Yes. Had to look up the origin of that last line. Powerful indictment. Thanks for that.
Lots of talk over the last few months, especially, on CFN bemoaning (with the exception of Russia) the lack of sovereign push-back or opposition to the WEF and the bankers. But there are other success stories. Here’re two:
Finland, the home of my forebears. Called the happiest country on Earth the past six years running (not possible, due to time and space, to cover detailed metrics here), it’s closed its doors to immigrants. You have money, a successful career, a law-abiding past, with exhaustive background checks? Stand in line, and we’ll eventually get to you.
High taxes, with unsurpassable services, and innovative ones, for it: education, health care and promotion, infrastructure, plenty of high-paying jobs to finance it all (through taxes, and volunteerism).
Cultural and racial pride. After a thousand years of oppression, dependence, and war, Finland acquired its independence early 20th century, and in a generation or two, thrived. Stoical and self-sufficient, they got on with their lives, and are an exact counterforce to any legitimacy the Woke and Black victim mentality try to claim for themselves.
They currently have a center-right gov’t. Standard military service for the young.
Then there’s another success story for a very different country in some key respects: Belarus.
The only Euro country currently with a dictator, Belarus, under Lukashenko, has also transformed itself in a short time, from having 1/3 of its entire population killed during WWII (3 million from 9 million), to a thriving economic and cultural success.
Cost of living is dirt cheap — 10 times cheaper (for instance) than is the case in Ireland.
Like Finland, beautiful women, and welcoming, friendly people. They don’t make much money, but then they’re not driven by money-making. Again, like Finland, pristine natural geography.
Great health care, extremely safe, and honest people. Like Finland, you can leave your wallet on a busy street, and always find it 5-10 hours later in the local police or bureaucratic depot.
One of the only countries in the world to shun “Covid” restrictions.
Dictators can be dangerous, it goes without saying. But Lukashenko’s shakedowns only happen against the new billionaires. If you’re going to target a specific class, he’s going after the right one.
Strong man, or socialist-capitalist mix — different styles of gov’t can work. But it takes great leadership, and more importantly, a history and genetic foundation of excellence among the people.
The real issue though is that what all that capital is spent on, by removing huge amounts of capital from the public and the economy, the PTB make the decisions on what will be done with it.
In the United States, individuals want to make that decision, although thanks to the Deep State over the last thirty years or so, we are actually approaching European taxation rates and the Fed control of it. Or lack of control (35 Trillion in debt).
SF…you a Yooper? For the Finns, I swear it’s pastys they consume…worth a trip to the UP to pick some up. And don’t forget their entire eastern border is w/ Russia…and they’re still among the happiest folks in the world…go figure.
And Finland’s sending Russia’s unwanted Muzzies right back, then firming up those two border points.

Unhappiness Gentrification/Burial
I seem to recall posting hereon a video about social housing in Finland and how there are very few homeless compared to other places…
But here’s the thing. It’s statistics and they can change over time and in a sufficient random population sample, there will be a bell curve or thereabout of people ranging from unhappy to happy.
I mean, you’re not in Finland anymore, but Vancouver, right?.Or thereabouts? (I seem to recall reading about Finland’s emigration and if recalled correctly, there was a lot more of it relative to other places.)
So, ok, let’s do a statistical Vancouver happiness thing: Start in, say, Shaughnessy, and then walk down to East Hastings and record the environment’s change in ‘happiness’.
And/Or maybe parts of East Hastings has gentrified and you have to walk a little further east/north, maybe past Main St. even.
Or maybe there’s no place left anymore to be unhappy and/or undomesticated and everyone’s on welfare (Universal Basin Income).
There were times Finland wasn’t happy either of course, and there will be times it even ceases to exist, but in some senses, if one can get beyond the short summers and cold dark winters, looks like it’s ‘happy’ for now and for those who happen to still be there.
Finland also may have the dubious distinction of being the first and only State to have buried, and/or is in the process of burying, its own nuclear waste. It’s also not too far from Pripyat and may have even suffered some fallout during that special period.

Jarek asked, “Why does Messi leave us out of Prophecy?”
I am simply saying since the time of Rehoboam there have been two nations – Nation of Judah [ Judah, Benjamin and some of the Levites ] and the Nation of Israel [ the ten tribes put away (divorced) in punishment].
Both groups [ even while impersonating one another ] have separate prophecies being fulfilled. Applying prophecies to people that CANNOT fulfill them leads to confusion and loss of faith [ Thomas Paine ] because their faith was/ is placed in the “commandments and doctrines of men”.
Punished? For what?
“You shall have no other rules makers [ g-o-d-s ] before Me”
Married to God ~ spiritual adultery ~ divorced [ put-away ] as punishment.
“Until death do you part”. At the death of one, the other is free to marry. God came into the world [ system ] to die. Then He could remarry His bride [ the called out – ecclesia ].
UncleBob said, “The Russians and their Islamist allies are forecast to descend upon Israel, no doubt with you cheering them on.”
Since you are using the word “Israel” in place of Judah, you have been waiting for an invasion of Palestine.
The seventy weeks culminated with Christ’s accomplishments on the cross—as described in Dan. 9:24—then this means there is no “gap” between the 69th week and the 70th week. In other words, the entire structure of Dispensationalist thought, which recently arose in the mid-1800’s [ Darby/Scofield ] is based on faulty eschatology.
The seventy weeks of years began around the time of Passover in 458 B.C. and ended at Passover when Jesus was crucified in 33 A.D. This is precisely 490 years to the very month.“

Groundhog claimed, “In the synoptic gospels Christ gives no advice anywhere on not following Jewish law. Sure, people like “apostle” Paul were around after the death of Jesus preaching the end of the old covenant. The real Jesus never taught anything like that.”
Do you think Jesus ever read this:
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah [ important note – two separate groups ie. nations ]: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel >>> after those days <<<, saith the Lord; I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.”
Whoa.
Article in “For the Right News”. Under URL Conservativeglobe.com
“Bill Gates Chief Scientist Predicts Massive Wave of Death for the COVID vaxed”
Quickly,
The article states that the inflammatory responses causing heart disease are just a small concern compared to what is coming.
“A world renowned scientist who used to serve as Bill Gates chief vaccine specialist is predicting that 30-40% of people who took the COVD vaccines will be dead within the next few years. Dr. Gertrude Vanden Bosshe warns that heavily vaccinated countries will sustain mass casualties and a “completely unprecedented” plunge in population.”
Bottom line, the real bummer is that immune system is fine tuned to very few antigens by the Vaxx series with each variant (BTW, caused by the overuse of vaccines just like antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria). The next real virus or even bacterium that invades our space will find immune systems unable to fight back or recognize anything new.
A comment by the author of the article says, “The scariest thing about Bossche’s prediction is that his arguments make logical sense.
“Every [booster] shot becomes increasingly worthless, while constantly causing increased T-cell suppression in the vaxed individual.
IMHO, there really is a BIG conspiracy here possible. Why is it that this guy is predicting a huge die off due to the Vaxx, actually Vaxxes, at the same time and our Leftist government mandating and rooting for the vaxx, at the same time as having millions of international replacements pouring over our border. The real kicker is that not one of them got a vaxx shot.
Is the US government, in the name of totalitarian control, trying to replace the American European population? Is the WEF shaping the USA into a Blue quagmire of foreigners. There has been no data published (of course) about who is funding the border onslaught, although IMO it is obvious.
International virus labs with Fauci involved 100% developing new biological agents and other than Putin taking out the Ukraine spots, nothing has been done to curtail the SOBs.
To TS1986, Nukes are not the only thing to worry about. Over and over, our government and its global mentors are the number one enemy of the USA people.
OBTW, Alex Soros said this morning that the Soros group (WEF) will fund as much judicial action as needed to destroy Trump. Nice! I will guarantee you that the Soros controlled part of the judicial system, of which Bragg is part, is cooking up the next set of things to attack Trump with if the Smith-James things do not work. The election is not the answer either, as they will continue to move towards impeaching and imprisoning him after he is President.
The USA has tipped over to the socialists too far now. Aside from secession, there is no way out for the sane Red zones to get out. That is even. If Trump wins.
One more, a big gap that is really glaring now, There is no replacement for Trump to right the ship. Lots of pretenders for VP, but none with the wherewithal of Trump. That is because the Never Trumpers contingent of the GOP is blocking the advance of any other MAGA champion.
This Deep State has just about disenfranchised 50% of the American public. AKA, majority dictatorship, what the Founders made the Bill of Rights and the electoral college trying to prevent, the dictatorship of democracy.
My adder,
The immune system is tuned into the locale in which we live, IMO. IOW, its recognizes the antigen field it is suspended in and deals with it on an ongoing basis. There are probably thousands of antigens that it recognizes on a daily basis.
So, one, you travel to another area. A whole new arena of bugs there to challenge you. As variance can happen by vaxx so it can by just being in a new geo-area. So basically you are wide open to any bad bugs,
Two, vaccines. A few specialized vaccines may be okay to prevent historical outbreaks. However these SOBs with mRNA have released a mutating situation where the main body of the immune system is either destroyed or autoimmune.
Personally, two trips in the last two years, Puerto Vallarta and UK cruise.
Puerto Vallarta. COVID, UK Pertussis. Family member has developed autoimmunity. Lots of her friends are dropping like flies to cancer. Oh yeah, remember that cancer is ever occurring, and it is the T-cell detection and destruction of cancer cels that stop them. Uh, until something destroys the T-cells.
But these evil “SOBs” got it right to create $26 bil of new debt in your name to just give to Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo with his Samson Option in his back pocket, though, eh?
Weird, isn’t it? I mean: these evil “SOBs” are completely destroying America in absolutely EVERY way possible … except for this?

Hey JAZ,
You often point to the United Nations’ creation of Israel in 1948.
This 5-minute video provides interesting historical background on those actions:
THE ZIONIST NAZI CONNECTION AND THE CREATION OF ISRAEL
bitchuteXcom/video/mOO4F1kOBjl4/
I look forward to your thoughts on this Greg-Reese report.
Let’s say that October 7th was a false flag, allowed to happen.
And let’s say that Israel overreacted.
And let’s say that the unprecedented ongoing media attention to Gaza was planned.
And let’s say that the Kids in Tents were paid for by Soros and other NGOs.
And let’s say that the worldwide condemnation, also unprecedented, is orchestrated.
Why? I assumed that it was that the US is ready to drop Israel, or at least, orchestrate a regime change (overthrow the government.)
But now, as I watch the US goosestep to war with Russia and China, I wonder if it is to get people’s minds off the actual looming prospect of WW3, while they march around screaming about “the river to the sea”.
No one seems to be paying attention to the increasing provocations the US is conducting in Russia and near China.
Paula
Think Israel as the way to take Iran’ mind off of Saudi Arabia, the main obstacle to the Persian dream to control the Gulf. Hiya vs, Sunni is just part of it. It goes back to the Persian Empire. Seems like all the power folks need an empire.
The situation with the USA and its two main competitors has been accentuated with BRICS+++++++, aim multiple attacks at the US, they do not know what to do in DC.
Exactly what BRICS wants.
Big question? What could the US do if Israel actually needed them, AND Ukraine went downhill, and NATO disbanded, and China invaded Taiwan and the protests grow, and Texas secedes and, and, and. The answer is
Nothing.
Once again, John, BRICS is a trading bloc, not a military alliance.
On the other hand, the head of the Chinese military announced Friday that Russia and China are forming a combined military alliance to bring “justice” to the world.
Justice? That sounds like something the US would say. What the hell is fighting for “justice”?
It’s like fighting for ”freedom”.
It’s just a buzzword.
I’m thinking the Chinese have been watching too many Marvel movies.
Anyway, if you want to get your panties in a wad, focus there instead of BRICS.
And as for you question about Israel, I still think that the US is getting ready to dump Israel, and that a lot of the hysteria being whipped up about Gaza is psychological preparation for that.
If you watch Macgregor’s 5/28/2024 discussion with Judge Napolitano, I suggest that it will make sense of all the nonsense that you and John are arguing about.
It makes sense of a combined military alliance with Russia and China in regard to protecting their trade interests, especially in light of the North South Transit Corridor (NSTC) that Doug discusses.
And, it highlights the pickle that the US is in with regard to all the alliances it is trying to control in the ME.
If development of the (NSTC) proceeds, I would suggest that the US and Israel will become irrelevant.
Thanks for the tip, TPTB. It didn’t make much sense to me the way I saw it reported.

Once again, trading partners?
What exactly do you think they are trading?
What do you think Russia is sending to Iran?
What do you think NOKO is sending to Russia? Or China?
These countries do not need weapons to defeat the USA, it is going to beat itself.
It is a military alliance, right now. Do not make the mistake of separating military from economic, it is the same today.
Also, it took the US-UK a lot of hate and discontent to get Israel installed where it is to offset the Arab and Persian nuts that inhabit the Middle East, the source of 40% of our oil.
There is no way that either is going to throw Israel to the wolves. They are going to put the Abraham Accords in place with Saudi Arabia as soon as the proxies from Iran are dealt with.
If anything, the 50% of secular folks in Iran will deal with the Ayatollah.
John, I’d be interested in hearing your assessment on why Macgregor is wrong, after you watch his current discussion.
“Once again, John, BRICS is a trading bloc, not a military alliance.”
Paula,
Once again, John, BRICS is a trading bloc, not a military alliance…so far….

“But now, as I watch the US goosestep to war with Russia and China, I wonder if it is to get people’s minds off the actual looming prospect of WW3, while they march around screaming about “the river to the sea”.” ~ Paula D
FWIW
“We are on the edge of World War III because Western nations are nearing default on national debts. They NEED war as a distraction. The West has already declared war on Russia to try to prevent civil uprisings of a debt crisis of historic proportions. China sold $53 billion of US debt in the first quarter. They would be INSANE to buy any debt from any Western government at this stage.”
World War III by 1st Week of September 2024?
armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/geopolitical/world-war-iii-by-1st-week-of-september-2024/
It is true that the west uses war to get out of paying their debts. That is most likely a major incentive for all these provocations.
The pandemic was also conveniently timed. I forget exactly what, but there were debts coming due that were rescued with the massive bailouts given to the wealthy, in the name of a virus.
Same with 9-11. Apparently Bush the Elder and his wrecking crew had put out 10 year bonds on Russian assets when the USSR was destroyed.
They were coming due, but the paperwork was supposedly in Building 7.
“The pandemic was also conveniently timed.” ~ Paula D
I have in mind that Illinois public pension systems was in dire trouble, and there was also a looming issue with CALPERS; neither of which Trump was going to lend a hand.
HA!
How the heck is the Federal government going to bail out any state or local, they are 35 trillion in debt? It wasn’t that Trump was a bad guy, he just refused to run the presses and make phony baloney money.
Trump felt that they brought it upon themselves, and that it wasn’t right for the general population to support just a segment of the population.
In the end, under Trump’s watch, the covid funds bought them another day. I suppose that each state got to chose what they did with those funds.
Ron, if you’re still around, check out this video at 14:40.
“International” special forces show up on the frontline to kill Russians.
They speak Spanish. What Spanish-speaking country has offered to send troops to Ukraine?
That would be: none.
So where did these dudes come from? I say they came from the US.

FLOAT WHILE YOU STILL PLAN
Mohammed Ali famously said, ‘float like a butterfly, sting like a bee’. It’s still good advice. Bonds can float, loans can float, ivory soap can float, crap games float, the dollar floats, so why not you?
Keep your mental and spiritual buoyancy, float like a carefree cork on today’s tumultuous seas, but at the same time plan for what’s coming. You can ride the rhythm of the waves, sense the currents like the ancient mariners, and plan your course.
If you float you won’t sink. Be like an iceberg, buoyant but cold and calculating, with hidden depths of strength. Pretend that you are on a fabulous float winding its way down the grand Cosmic Parade.
Float your ideas, be flexible with your plan. Don’t float between vice and virtue. Stay the course. Float like the clouds over the sea, bide your time then sting like a bee.
This is really good. I’m going to float. After all, one can float in space, in the air, in the water, and even on the ground! Now we must float through walls and mountains. Nobody said it would be easy, and in fact it is really hard.
Thanks, you have the ability to detect and respond to many wavelengths.
It is, the ‘weight’ can be so heavy. Let’s float on the ethereal.
A certain extremely misinformed person, not to be named and shamed, wrote above some serious misinformation about the whole IQ issue. It, obviously a libtard, claimed that multiple studies had shown that the gap between white and black children has lessened substantially over the past decades (every single one of those studies used non validated atypical “IQ” measures. Here’s the reality: IQ can only be measured with reliability and validity with two systems; the Wechsler Scales (WAIS, WISC, etc Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) and the Stanford-Binet IQ Scale (which is primarily verbal and thus may be culture bound). The Wechsler scales, which are, today, the dominantly used IQ measures, have both Verbal and Performance scales and subscales within, making these measures far less culture bound than some think (the latter, performance, scales involve measuring geometric reasoning, visual motor skills, recalling numbers and abstract symbols, and reasoning about sequences… all intelligence components that are not culturally biased and are, in fact, universal). The black/white gap has been shown again and again via the Wechsler Scales.
Many liberal grad school professors have tried to develop ‘culture free’ IQ tests and all have failed (I’ve seen this firsthand while getting my PhD in neuroscience prior to going to med school). An example is Harvey Kaufman’s “Kaufman Intelligence Test,” which claims to be culture free, but has never been adequately validated but is, nevertheless, often used by libtards in hopes of making one race look smarter. That’s the fallacy of the above noted libtard’s argument. All of the studies it cited (all of which, in blatant violation of all scientific neuropsychometric standards, tried very hard to make black children look smarter) used IQ measures that have NOT been adequately validated. In other words the so called ‘IQ Tests’ used in it’s cited studies have items that are MADE UP to get the results the liberals want without using the standard methods of test validation.
Another method liberal ‘test makers’ and researchers use, is to sample only black children from higher income black families and then claim IQ similarity when this is compared with children from working class or poor neighborhoods. This, too, is a violation of the way truly scientifically performed studies should be done. Also, would anyone be surprised to know that some liberal college professors fake their data or skew their data to get the results their liberal religiosity demands, and especially when govmint grant money demands a specific politically correct result.
FYI, sorry if this was boring, but I felt it was necessary to counter gross liberal misinformation.
Ah, the IQ and race arguments and debates! IQ is of real value only in a high tech society owned and managed by nerds. I’ve witnessed musicians and other artists who might have average IQ’s and not much education do astonishing displays of technical skill and creativity not explainable by IQ. It’s more like they are “channeling” something or taking dictation from some unknown source. They are letting music just run through them and they are playing it as they “hear” it. Their skill relies on their ability to connect with some creative power inside them that’s far more intelligent than they are. Mozart doubtless had that.
I’ve seen some astonishingly powerful and charismatic preaching and musical performances in black churches. Whitney Houston learned to sing in a black church that had a very potent music ministry. I’ve seen black preachers with powers of oratory I’ve never experienced with white preachers. There is this call and response routine they do, with the preacher coming to the climax of a powerful story and an organist chiming in and very cleverly hitting keys and rythmns that match perfectly the mood and emotional direction of the sermon. Call me a racist but that’s just been what I’ve noticed. These abilities aren’t that related to IQ, there are many other things going on that can’t be distilled down into words or mathematics.
Well, we live in this society, so IQ is a valid scale. And yes, musical ability and artistic ability and athletic ability are all part of what makes life more pleasant, and IQ scores don’t measure any of that.
The reason we argue about IQ so much in this advanced capitalist society, is that the entire society has been convinced that only IQ people deserve a living wage or higher for the work they do.
This is the reason that they push children into lifetime debt slavery to go to college. Only college educated people deserve to be compensated enough for the hours they put in working, you see.
I reject this reasoning. If we had full employment at living wages, there wouldn’t be as much racism, because everyone would have a job and they could do what they are good at, and still be able to afford food and housing.
There would be no bitching about DEI because it would be unnecessary to put token minorities into high paid positions, if everyone was able to make a living at whatever work they did.
Four hours of pushing a broom should be able to buy you a four-bit room to sleep in.
Quoting Roger Miller here, CO Jones.
Why can’t people just accept others for their strengths?
Because ethnocentrism says that My group is right and yours is wrong. Ethnocentrism is a sin, IMHO.
Whites are great organizers, good managers, good abstract thinkers
Blacks, fast, tall, athletic, musical, artistic,
Asians hard workers, thrifty, education oriented
Latinos. family oriented, hard workers, thrifty, community oriented.
There , all the stereotypes that on the big picture are pretty accurate.
BUT. There are always exceptions, which is why opportunity must be given to all equally.
And parents, the kids will be good at some things and not so much at others, accept kids for what they are and they will be more level headed.
You. Have a black neighbor, assume he was an athlete? Or he is an absent dad? Big mistake if his name is Benjamin Carson.
The real problem in the USA is that the groups do not assimilate to be a common culture, as has been discussed by JHK over and over. Polluting the country with way too many immigrants that do not assimilate is the opposite of what should be done.
One more comment. The USA has forced assimilation in the past by Wag the Dog techniques. Up until recently, the US has been involved in a war every generation to create a unification of the America public. Finding a common enemy is as old as the hills.
War is obsolete, Ukraine shows it, Israel shows it. It kills millions with no results. At its extreme, nuke wise, it destroys whole portions of the world. And yet, war no longer gets us through the Fourth Turning as one side overcoming and destroying the other is no longer feasible. So wars go on and on and on. Think Israel, think Afghanistan, both Russia and USA, think VietNam, Korea, all “wars” without end.
So how does the USA create cohesiveness, unity? Easy answer, it doesn’t. So now we will probably fall apart into discrete cultures, or political belief zones.
We need a war folks, at a time when war no longer works.
Uh-oh.
There are always exceptions, which is why opportunity must be given to all equally.
Unless, of course, you have had the misfortune of being born in Gaza. In that unlikely situation, you must be blown to bits with JAZ’s tax dollars.
Israel manufactures some of it’s own weaponry. Israelis make excellent small arms; I myself own a slide action .357 caliber carbine called the Timberwolf made in Israel in the 1980s ~ its high quality, top notch.
What is manufactured in Gaza? Crude bombs made from torn up PVC piping & black powder they use to blow up Israeli civilians at bus stops?
Hiya, BR.
BRH
No point arguing, Israel does no right, Hamas and the Pali skirts they hide behind can do no wrong in some eyes.
Yawn.
The conceptual basis of IQ is ‘cognition.’ COGNITION!!!! Not athletic skill, not psychopathic reptilian manipulative skills (i.e. politicians), not musical skill. Although, as an amateur key board player, I can assure you that key board music is highly mathematical at an intuitive level and also involves memory function if one is to be able to play something they have work on and memorized. All that being said, the Guilford Model of Cognitive abilities has 64 blocks, each representing a specific type of intelligence, including musical ability, visual motor integration, and other ‘areas’ of intelligence. The problem is, to measure all of these at once, would take a week of testing, which is not practical.
PaulaD is right; we live in a linear, mathematical deductive, linear thinking society. Thus, IQ is a decent, but far from perfect measure of ability to cope and function in such a society. IQ is NOT a deity, it’s a tool, like any other.
If we didn’t have a mathematical deductive linear society, we would all be riding horses, plowing fields, planting and tending seeds, washing clothes with a scrub board, and milking cows. And getting our water in buckets from a creek 100+ yards away. Think about that. Hopefully the world made by hand that is clearly coming, FAST, will retain some mathmatico-deductive and linear tech to make all that stuff easier.
A variable that may limit that “comeback” will be the immense loss of population the WMBH world will cause. If Bossche is right and a second pandemic hits and wipes out 30-40% of the population due to the Vaxx, things will definitely change for the worse.
“Think about that. Hopefully the world made by hand that is clearly coming, FAST, will retain some mathmatico-deductive and linear tech to make all that stuff easier.”
NDoc,
We will, and have in the past.
Slavery
That which seems to be missing from the discussion is that (i) people are “wired” differently, and (ii) the current format for life is a flawed man made game that is played-out, and it has benefited those that are “wired” in a certain manner, more than others who are “wired” differently.
My assessment is that the 2030 Agenda is an attempt to reconcile these differences and create a more equitable format for life, but they do not believe in human nature and exclude the notion that a group (China) will grab power and destroy their goal of utopia.
The origins of our elites–based on the writings of Bas Van Bavel–is an interpretation I find quite persuasive but is not an interpretation against the idea of markets.
1) The rise to dominance of markets in the allocation of land and labor (called factor markets) and later finance is something extraordinary which has taken place at different times throughout the existence of our species (see, for example, Mesopotamia (Iraq) from 500 to 1100 AD, Central-North Italy from 1000 to 1500, the Low Countries (1100-1800), England, Western Europe and the United States (1500 to the present). Could be called a dynamic of rise and decline or a circular conception of economic history rather than a linear conception as seen in most “progressive” economics.
2) A resulting accumulation of wealth and economic growth can be observed in all of these economies, followed by a period of prosperity, market enlargements but then increasing social polarization, institutional sclerosis, and eventual absolute or relative decline compared to other economic competitors (think China in 2024).
3) The effect of such an accumulation of wealth and power eventually spills over from the economic sphere to the political and legal sphere (think of contemporary U.S. and the legal situation of Trump). A negative feedback loop (of decline) is apparently established from which it seems impossible to exit.
To be continued.
Dalio wrote in great detail about these things.

Yes, Jim.
The reason the Americas were settled was the limitations of European opportunity at the time to support a burgeoning population. The waves of folks across the Atlantic continued until the early 20th century.
Here is a discussion Macgregor had concerning Sweden accepting nuclear from the US.
The question that is continually asked is: why?
I’ll tell you why. The 2030 Agenda is at the point of failure, and the sponsors realize that they are in serious trouble if their coup fails and goes to the point of discovery.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor’s Warning: Sweden Sold itself to Fight Russia
youtube.com/watch?v=UlBOO78j2FE
Is this different from the one you recommended before? I looked for it and picked out one, but it was not this title.
I posted the link above.
I just heard something very interesting. Apparently some bigwig Russian banker recently outlined a key criteria of BRICS … and it is so simple:
1 gram of gold = 1 barrel of oil
[Note: There are 28.3495 grams in an ounce.]
You will note that, of course, the US$ does not appear in the equation.
Interestingly, almost perfectly coincides with the recent 15% rise in gold prices.
That is, using Friday’s closing prices,:
Gold: US$2,327.36/oz / 28.3495 grams/oz. = US$82.10/oz.
While oil (Brent Crude) closed at US$81.62.
***
The deck chairs on the Titanic are arranged.
Interesting, but just as the Gold/Silver Ratio has changed wildly over time, so will be the case with a Gold/Oil Ratio.
armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/GOLD1560to1991.jpg
Commodities Trade Differently
armstrongeconomics.com/markets-by-sector/precious-metals/gold/commodities-trade-differently/
Good point. The gold/oil ratio would be a good indicator of the growing resource supply shortage.
The new paradigm, as set by BRICS, will result in no fluctuations in the gold/oil ratio whatsoever. It will be fixed:
1 gram of gold = 1 barrel of oil
***
To paraphrase Ayn Rand:
Americans will not understand that:
US$ < Shit
but they will not be able to ignore the consequences of the US$ not equaling shit.
You’re missing the paradigm shift. Your old paradigm is fiat US$ for gold and fiat US$ for silver and fiat US$ for oil. That results in wild swings as all 3 commodities float and are tethered to nothing but worthless US Fed IOUs.
BRICS eliminates the US$ completely. BRICS is the new paradigm.
BRICS is gold-based. BRICS is even commodity-based, BRICS is pegging 1 gram of gold to 1 barrel of oil. That ratio will not fluctuate in this new paradigm.
***
The world’s economy will be much more stable without the US$ (notwithstanding how much it will suck for the previously free-loading Americans).
Martin Armstrong is fine for the study of ceteris paribus economics but he’s a deer-in-the-headlights regarding the present unfolding real future economics.
Good observation, OG. It shows how the supply of both are restricted. Peak oil is real. Gaia is NOT going to bail us out of Peak oil. When oil runs low later in the century, oil dependent countries will suffer most and will become more carnivorous in world affairs, what is going on now will be brushfires in history. BRICS++++++ will ascend as its control over resources will grow in percentage. That is the real threat of the future.
I believe that you, too, are missing the paradigm shift, JAZ. The worthless US$ fiat ass-wipe is about to really be worthless. USA will have MASSIVE debt and no way to pay for anything. The USA way of life is at its end. Now.
I find it frustrating that there does not appear to be any means for “We the People” to hold leadership, who we pay to represent US, accountable.
Generally, I view the Fox News legal commentators as professionals, whereas I view the other MSM legal commentators as amateurs, and it baffles me that the likes of Soros is able to game the system to perfection.
Are all the legal minds in the country not professional?
Has the legal profession been gamed to the point of becoming crippled?
Who has the authority that the population can appeal to sort this mess out?
Then, Mark Levin’s Saturday show focused on just such a solution, and the justification for the Supreme Court to take-up the matter with urgency.
That which we are witnessing is a fight for power.
TPTB-USA
Yes
Yes
The Deep State, which is an instant no-go. The interference of the DOJ with Bragg, James and Smith are just the Deep State takeover of state and local judiciaries, in association with George and Alex Soros.
People think that wealth is the ultimate goal of the rich, nope. Power is, money is just a stepping stone.
Right now, the SCOTUS 6 conservatives (%5 if you discount Roberts) are under attack from the attack dogs of the Dems. We have no idea how long their effectiveness will prevail.
At this point I don’t have any respect for the Supreme Court.
I suppose that either their assistance has not been requested in matters which I feel have been important, and/or they appear to be a toothless entity.
Power yes, just what Putin wants. There is ‘danger’ all around Putin without Ukraine. Poland, the Baltic states, etc. Missiles in Ukraine would almost be superfluous. Ukraine is Putin’s excuse to maintain power, to play warrior-hero. Drastic danger looms:
‘Vladimir Putin has received a stark warning that Russia could be “turned into cinders” should he dare to engage in nuclear warfare with NATO. Tensions are at a knife-edge as the conflict between Russia and the West intensifies amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine.
With Putin’s military forces relentlessly attacking Kharkiv and other Ukrainian regions, NATO allies have given Kyiv the green light to launch counterstrikes on Russian soil. Amidst this escalation, Putin and various Russian officials have not shied away from hinting at the possibility of a nuclear showdown if NATO troops set foot in Ukraine.
Diane Francis, a seasoned author and authority on the Russia-Ukraine crisis, has cautioned that Russia would be overwhelmingly outmatched by NATO in such an event, reports the Express US. Speaking to Times Radio, she remarked: “This is more talky talky before the bullies start to hit each other, and I am afraid we may inevitably lead there.”
She continued, highlighting the disparity in power: “Putin knows he is out-financed and out-gunned and out-manned the minute he brings NATO into this war, he will not do that.”
“He has three nuclear powers against him. The GDP of the NATO countries is 100 times bigger than Russia’s.”
Francis didn’t mince words about the consequences of a nuclear incident: “One nuclear incident and Russia will be turned into cinders.” Nevertheless, Moscow continues to wield its nuclear capabilities as a critical element of its intimidation tactics.
In a chilling message over the weekend, Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President and a staunch Putin confidant, cautioned NATO against underestimating Russia’s nuclear arsenal. Penning his thoughts on Telegram, he declared: “Life is much worse than their frivolous reasoning.”
In addition, he mentioned: “Russia regards all long-range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries. This is no military assistance, this is participation in a war against us. And such actions could well become a casus belli (an act that provokes a war). This is, alas, neither intimidation nor bluffing.” ‘
As I said before, get ready to die. Be a ninja, if not a samurai.
Who TF is Diane Francis?
She is a broadcaster, speaker and author of ten books on Canadian socioeconomic subjects. Francis is a distinguished professor at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in Toronto.
Not exactly the gravitas of Col. Douglas MacGregor or Scott Ritter et al, eh? [Note: These serious US military men say the complete opposite of this “seasoned” Canadian socioeconomic author.]
GDP won’t matter for shit when the missiles start flying.
Note: Ryerson University in Toronto was recently renamed on account of Egerton Ryerson (1803-1882) was not woke.
[Ryerson] promoted denominational universities as the pinnacle of the educational process. He believed that both the individual and society could be improved through religion and education. Ryerson was a driving force behind the Methodist Church’s establishment of Upper Canada Academy in Cobourg in 1832.
How dare he?!!!
She is said to be an authority figure on Russia-Ukraine. Who knows?
MacGregor strongly supported the war in Iraq. Bad. He called for martial law at the border and shooting people if necessary. Good. Very good, in my view.
Never made it to general.
He’s blunt and opinionated and has the ‘voice’. If that’s gravitas, so be it. Granted, he has the military background and can talk the talk, but how much does he really know about R-U?
Yeah, exclamations of God Damn Putin will have no relevance!
$10,000 an ounce gold means what price oil? $600-700 per barrel?
How about $352.
How about US$infinity?
How about you paying me US$infinity for a quart of oil?
I think there is a ceiling on the oil price, set when the world reacts to the coming shortage. I have no idea what that reaction will be, it will be much larger than just EVs. There is a ceiling though on most commodities where people just won’t pay any more.
It will be high enough though for people to stop burning it in cars. The infrastructure changes coming will be enormous. People will have to transport very differently, package products very differently, grow food very differently, all in ways that do not exist today in quantities enough to take care of the population.
One more, TS, the warheads available to Russia back in the 70-80 timeframe was more than the US had. Russia had more tanks than NATO then. I have no idea what 1991 has done to Russia’s capabilities, BUT I would never play chicken with them which is what the very juvenile Western powers are doing right now. Seventy years of information about Russia has given me huge respect for them, I do not consider them the easy marks our idiotic Western leaders consider.them to be.
Ukraine is the endless human gristmill that Afghanistan was to be us and the Russians. It needs to be ended, the West needs to just stop Biden’s war in Ukraine. 500,000 Uke casualties and comparable Russian numbers plus 40 -50000 civilian Uke casualties. Is Zelensky another Hitler and will take down Ukraine with him?
How about wrapping your head around the new paradigm?
1 gram of gold = 1 barrel of oil
US$ < shit
Yup! The US provides 60% of its own oil. Japan and Europe only a small amount. So. I would expect to see the first reactions to the onset of Peak oil to be in those countries.
I try to figure out the logic of the NATO/US reaction to Ukraine, OG, I do not believe that Russia is the bad guy here. NATO has added 14 nations into a treaty organization while Russia has just stood by and taken it,
Until Ukraine.
Look at a map of Europe, where Russia has always been attacked by Europe. Ukraine. Russia will not allow Ukraine into NATO with its geolocation without at least having a buffer zone in East Ukraine.
Which is exactly where it is at now. Ukraine is burning weapons and blood on trying to dislodge Russia from East Ukraine and Crimea. It is not going to happen. OG, just as you believe about Gaza, the nuts in Ukraine need to be stopped before there are no more Ukes. Or is it Biden that needs to be stopped?
I still think that you’re missing my point, JAZ. The US$ is about to become worthless. The US will suffer more than most can possibly imagine. And right quick – not some distant Peak Oil event in the 2080s but a total collapse in the 2020s.
***
You are correct about Ukraine. NATO is the aggressor and has been ever since the fall of the Iron Curtain.
NATO is the Deep State’s military. The Deep State are the bad guys (although Putin’s no saint).
***
Yes, Biden needs to be arrested.
‘NATO has added 14 nations into a treaty organization while Russia has just stood by and taken it,
Until Ukraine.’ John
The Soviet Union once ruled dictatorially over many nations. Too bad people wanted freedom and decided to leave the once mighty Soviet. That’s what Russia’s Putin couldn’t take.
Strengthening a defensive alliance can be seen as aggressive if you have a paranoid mindset which Putin out of the KGB has a good chance of having.
Back around 2000, Putin wanted to join NATO. Much has happened since then, actually starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 by NATO, because of the ethnic cleansing of Albanians.
The history since then has been a convoluted one and here we are.
Putin has a powerful nation with a relatively small population and vast resources. NATO is not about to attack and he’s safe with his military power and his nuclear arsenal. Ukraine is just a red herring. Russia could just as easily be attacked from Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Lithuania.
Should Russia grow stronger (with the Chinese) or should we, the West, grow stronger? I’m with the West.
That pustule of a pipsqueak popinjay continues to wave the nuclear nightstick like it was a cheerleader’s baton and does nothing less than threaten the world with annihilation if he can’t have his way. He must be stopped.
“Should Russia grow stronger (with the Chinese) or should we, the West, grow stronger? I’m with the West.”
Why join an obviously losing team? The West is bankrupt and rapidly losing the ability to defend its empire. Once the dollar collapses our troops overseas will all be coming home and all those bases all over the world will be abandoned. What military reasources are left and still affordable will be needed inside the USA’s borders to enforce order and maybe do things like distributing and protecting emergency food and fuel which will be strictly rationed.
Russians will be driving sports cars and towing rv’s and pleasure boats. US citizens will be walking, riding bicycles and small Asian motorbikes, and using public transportation and carpools just to get to work and to go shopping. The gravy trains bringing in imported goods will all be stalled and out of fuel, rusting away in the weeds while America desperately tries learning to make a new world for themselves by hand. The “illegal immigrants” will go back home and many US citizens will get out and go to places like South America where there will be less civil disorder, chaos, and crazy people.
Or, an ounce of silver for a barrel of oil.
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a barrel today!
A long time ago in the early 60’s I was an older child buying gas for the lawnmowers I used to make extra spending money. I’d walk to a gas station around the corner and purchase a gallon of gas for a silver quarter and a silver dime I had in my pocket. Those two silver coins were good for a gallon of gas. Today, those two silver coins are still roughly worth a gallon of gas. Gasoline is still easy to find – silver coins are very difficult to find unless you purchase them from a coin dealer The coins today are fake and not real silver. Just as everything else in the USA is fake and fucked up. The money is fake, the women are fake, the eductational system is fake, our legal system fake, our “healthcare” system is fake etc. We’re a fake country – we’re not “United” in any way except on paper.
“In the meantime, through the luminescent fog of gloat, perhaps you did not notice that “Joe Biden” took a giant step yesterday toward commencing World War Three. The move was framed as the US gives Ukraine permission to use American missiles to strike deep within Russia. That was a bit disingenuous, you see, because Ukraine’s military lacks the know-how to actually launch the missiles, so American military “advisors” will have to be on hand to do it, meaning US military personnel will commit an act of aggression upon Russia.
Voila! That world war you’ve all been clamoring for. . .? The perfect climax to “Joe Biden’s” catastrophic, fraudulently-acquired term in office. I scent the acrid, burnt-flesh odor of miscalculation here, as of a bunch of American cities get turned into radioactive bonfires that will blot out that sublime luminosity of gloat”
I think JHK is correct that Ukrainians lack the know-how (and also the targeting intelligence) to attack Russian targets.
I also share JHK’s perspective on the risks of escalation.
Unfortunately, in the internet and blogosphere, other people see it differently.
This “professor” advocates more aggressive measures, and as I took a cursory glance at the commenters, I am hard pressed to find some one like me to say “wait a minute, this is risky”, let alone “the US started this”.
Also many of the commenters think Russia is on the ropes and weak and needs to be put away.

‘State of panic’ as Putin realises he cannot win in Ukraine | Yuri Felshtinsky
Have any of these people ever heard Putin speak? Even if Putin was a total liar and demagogue, he comes across as far more intelligent, mature, and measured than ANY other leader on the scene.
This professor belittles Putin because “he was not a General in the KGB”. OK, Dr. Dumbshit.
This is all not good. For Russia, Ukraine is existential. They will not lose, because they cannot afford lose. For America, it’s like Vietnam, a far away war of choice.
Stay tuned.
