The Labor Day weekend looms like a gateway into an autumn hell-scape of political psychodrama, so enjoy those last clam rolls of the season before the zeitgeist darkens and events pound the shore like so many waves of hurricane surf. Further inland, where the Swamp lies burbling and skreeking, unseen hands work overtime to falsify reality in a leaderless nation. Everybody feels the unbearable tension of things as yet unhappened.
“Joe Biden” has LARPed his way to the final act of his performance. The evidence of his high crimes, and the covering-up of those high crimes by our lawless law officialdom, is piled high enough to eject him into the swales of infamy. We know exactly how the Ukraine grift went down — the documentation is stark and florid — as is the rest of the family’s bribery operations in other lands not necessarily friendly to our own land. So, add treason to bribery and there you have the complete kit of perfidious treachery against the nation.
“Joe Biden” will be removed most likely by his own party before an impeachment inquiry can be launched in Congress. Not even The New York Times and CNN would be able to ignore the horrific spectacle and the party’s own minions might be shamed into learning how they were hosed for so many years. The unseen hands that jammed “JB” into the White House can then figure out what to do about the hapless Kamala Harris while Congress turns its attention to impeaching Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, Alejandro Mayorkas, and Xavier Becerra. At least that’s how it might work if the USA was a sane polity.
Otherwise, the people of this land will have to choose between being rolled-over by a globalist coup or find other routes of resistance. One would be for the governors of several so-called Red states to end mail-in voting, get rid of computerized ballot-counting machines, bring back paper ballots, and declare that all voting and hand ballot-counting take place on one election day. Don’t believe those who say it can’t be done. If it’s not done, we’ll never see anything close to an un-rigged election in this country ever again.
In what might be one of his last official acts, “Joe Biden” announced last week that Americans would be “encouraged” to get a new-and-improved mRNA vaccine booster against the new Covid virus strain EG.5 “Eris” (named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord). The “president” said he asked Congress for funding “for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works…. It will likely be recommended that everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not.”
Say, what…? Did the earlier vaccines not work, Joe? Most assuredly they did not. The shots injured, disabled, and killed a great many people, and it staggers the rational mind that the CDC is still pushing these shots. You might conclude that they’re pretending this didn’t happen to evade responsibility. After all, what would be the consequences if these officials admitted that all the previous Covid vaccines were ineffective and harmful? And what would be the reaction of the 81.3 percent of the population who got at least one dose of the previous vaccines and the 65.6 percent who are “fully vaccinated” with two or more shots? (Note, statistics from the CDC.)
I’ll tell you what would happen: the CDC officials and a great many other persons on the public payroll would be in court on criminal charges. And doctors and hospitals would be subject to so many lawsuits they would never again have time to actually practice medicine, while millions of people with damaged immune systems and wrecked organs take flight like so many black swans flapping into the setting sun of their own prematurely attenuated lives. If you care to be astounded, listen to this talk that Dr. Peter McCullough gave to an audience in New Hampshire a few days ago, calling out all the principals who devised the Covid-19 fiasco by name: Ralph Baric, Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, and Francis Collins, and then describing exactly how the dastardly act and the cover-up went down.
Speaking of happenings this autumn, expect the war in Ukraine to come to an end. The news media might omit to inform you about this, but it awaits. Russia will not trumpet its victory, so as to avoid inflaming America’s crazed neo-cons. Rather it will just quietly take charge of its successfully neutralized neighbor, make provision for some sort of administration over what remains of the rump state — in a way that affords Russia a sense of permanent security — at the same time that Russia commences new negotiations separately with several European nations to reestablish realistic relations.
The US will be delicately hung out to dry on this. Short of resorting to nuclear World War Three, there is nothing the US can do about it — except for the Democratic Party to blame the whole sorry thing on “Joe Biden” as he is forced to resign from office pending that aforesaid impeachment threat. No other explanation for the end of our Ukraine project will be required. The party of chaos will flounder a while in the very chaos that it induced, trying laughably to switch out Kamala Harris for Gavin Newsom — or some other ploy to stay in business. But the party will be so badly damaged by then that it will have no other option except to let Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in to drive out the remaining demons and save the venerable old org from suicide.
If you think that these various momentous happenings won’t affect the financial markets and the banking system in the coming season, prepare to be amazed. This is how America truly gets to feel the pain, and this might be how the pitchforks finally come out for the people who wrecked our country.

““Even Americans who have no particular interest in freedom and independence in democracies worldwide, should be satisfied that we’re getting our money’s worth on our Ukraine investment.” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal
Cat out of the bag much? Not only is he describing BlackRock’s Mr Fink’s public pronouncement of there being too much democracy and how it impedes business, he just described the rest of the Wholesale Murder Machine itself. The gall. The smug, dead-eyed sociopathic gall.
Admittedly off topic but wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to a longtime citizen of Clusterfuck Nation. Now having dual citizenship, so to speak, as the newest member of the Sexagenarian Club. Not nearly as exciting as it sounds – but as much fun as you can have with your clothes on – Happy Belated Birthday anyway.
He got himself a bargain basement price on dead Ukrainians.
Blumenthal and Schumer give a bad name to those of us with Jewish heritage.
This wise bit of advice could work for JB but I doubt there’s anyone in the DNC with the foresight, much less courage, to step up and give him the Talk. They’re as spineless as the LPC “Trudeau needs to be told what he clearly doesn’t understand, that his sunny days have sunset, that his dismal poll numbers will not suddenly rebound and that there’s a low probability he will win re-election despite facing a hard-to-like opponent in Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.” Don Martin CTV News
For two bad Jews, I am of Irish heritage, , I give you Biden and Dublin born Samantha Powers.
Hope that makes you feel better?
I’m Irish, as well. Irish Americans are the worst sort of Americans.
why?
what about somalis?
They aren’t Americans.
why?
what about armadillos?
Armadillo-Americans will rise up and rule what’s left of this country after it all comes crashing down.

No, it’s not an Irish thing. It’s just you.
Mitch McConnell.
Yes, the Irish control our media and banking.
The people will not be free. They love their chains too much.
I was being flippant and, being Irish, I’m more sensitive to and embarrassed by the actions of American Irish than perhaps, I should be. On the other hand, it was predominantly Irish Catholic priests who marched hand-in-hand with the Civil Rights agitators in the 50’s and 60’s and Irish politicians have, on average, been much worse than Italian, Polish, etc. politicians. I don’t regard any non-European, non-Christian, as American.
They don’t have the intelligence for that. They suit their station: being told what to do and doing it like an obdeient dog. They like a good pat on the back just the same.

Let’s see: Granny Schumer, Blumenthal, Soros, Steyer, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DiFi, Garland, pick a Pritzker, Blinken…. Wow, that’s a lot of Jews who openly oppose the teachings of YHWH, and the surface hasn’t been scratched. Then again, ancient Israel was destroyed in no small measure by the actions of Jews who hated God and undermined the society’s stability for their own benefit, much like the listed people do.
Most of that ancient history is complete rubbish. They’ve been digging over there for that fabulous kingdom for decades and just can’t seem to find it. The old testament is just a bunch of borrowed tales from other civilizations and grafted onto the “chosenites”.
Walensky, Soros, the new director of the CDC Mandy Cohen. I’ll stop there or I may be here all day.

You don’t have to worry about that, Uncle Bob:
I just wrote in the comment section of the previous article that if the rest of the animal world could laugh, at least in a way humans understood as such, humans would likely be the laughing-stock of the animal world.
It would probably be a bitter, ironic, sarcastic laugh, though.
I’ll take that kind of abuse from mammals. But I’ll be damned it I let fish laugh at me with smug derision in their cold eyes. Chickens, too.
On The Wrong End Of The Butt Of The Joke
They all could have the last laugh you know.
(With ‘you know’ being a ‘literary device’ not to be confused with a suggestion that I think I know what you know.)
JHK ‘rants’ through his sociomaterial technology, bi-weekly, as we read it through the same technology, that becomes, and/or could become, an end in itself, both in that meaning, as well as in terms of a/the law of diminishing returns, where the sociomaterial technologies– which include State government by the way– become too expensive to maintain.
Hence, decline and maybe collapse.
That’s part of the gag the fish would be bitterly laughing at and/or crying or ranting about if they got the ‘joke’ on everyone.
Of course they get it, but it’s on the wrong end of the butt of the joke, if or until the tables turn.
That sounds like it would make for a premise for a Steely Dan song, Zarelle.
At least the Blumenthals have Max! He’s one of the good guys.
“The smug , dead-eyed sociopathic gall.”
Excellent description-but if you think Blumenthal is bad, just think of how evil his anonymous controllers are…
Old German proverb: He who chooses has trouble. Studies show that if people have more than three choices, they end up unhappy, worrying that they chose the wrong one. In terms of politics, they almost surely did.
The Founders hated Democracy, knowing the people weren’t really capable of informed choice for the most part. The franchise must be limited to a select group – the Qualified.
That we are ruled by the Vermin you speak of is evidence of the people’s incapacity.
There is never a reckoning.
It is lie, cheat, steal, and repeat.
And if anyone with working brain cells doubted that these DC denizens were just plain evil, Blumenthal’s statement, and the non response to it, remove all doubt…
And what would be the reaction of the 81.3 percent of the population who got at least one dose of the previous vaccines and the 65.6 percent who are “fully vaccinated” with two or more shots?
Come on, Jim, you and I know that they’d just yawn and stampede to get the “new” shot. You know what American lemmings are like. With a reading level at the 6th or 7th grade and comprehension even lower than that, I really don’t expect much from the voting public.
Tuco22 — Wrong. That’s not what I “know” or what I think. Don’t presume to tell me, either. — JHK-Admin
Sorry.
Didn’t mean to overstep my bounds. Maybe I’ve inferred incorrectly your sentiments on the voting public based on your previous articles.
…If you are gonna shoot…Shoot! Don’t talk….
A good friend of mine has had five covid shots and he just told me that he has…..covid……again…….and is of the firm belief that if he had not had the five covid shots that he would be deathly ill if not dead. Cannot reason with these people anymore.
It is amazing how dumb, servile, and sycophantic doctors really are. My wife has two cousins who are young doctors, in their 30’s. They are constantly on her and the rest of her family to get vaxxxxxxed up. She laughs at them. They know not to try it with me. They simply parrot whatever appears in the NE Journal of Medicine or some other Big Pharma pub.
I have not had a single covid vaccine. I have not had covid. I will never know if I have had covid. I will not get tested. I’m not going to be like the idiots who get the sniffles and then run off and jam a 6 inch cotton swab up their nose to see if they “got it.” Good God. Whatever happened to “I got a cold” and letting it run its course. What a worthless bunch of limp wristed slack brained losers our people have become.
I will not play their games. They can go f— themselves with their vaccine needles and cotton swabs.
Love your response. Right there with ya.
Had Covid, but not any shots, as my research showed they were deadly, which I informed my friends and family about. Sadly, too many drank the coolaid and took them. As for China/cartel Joe and his threat to give the shots to everyone, same answer as I gave in 2020. Pitchforks are fine, but upgrades are in order.
Same here, Canker.
Also helps that there presently is no hard proof whatsoever that “Covid-19” even exists.
Covid is the sacred disease now – like AIDS used to be. People want to get it so they can talk about it and feel part of the club.
None of you know that you had covid.
I am the purest of purebloods. I was required to be tested for Covidiocy before I could have cataract surgery. No Covid was found. All quiet on the Covid front.
I just had cataract surgery on Wednesday (day-before-yesterday). It did not go well. This was because my pupils won’t dilate very much, which is common among people with Scandanavian heritage. The eye surgeon spent about an hour digging at my eyeball trying to remove the cataract through an opening that was too small, without success–and with inadequate anasthesia. So he stopped the surgery and referred me to a specialist for a second surgery the next day. When a cataract can’t be removed through the dilated pupil, the procedure is to remove it from the back of the eye, by making incisions back there. This surgery went well, and I went in for the post-op exam this morning. Everything looks fine.
In about a month–after the eye is healed–I will have to go in for yet another surgery to put in a replacement lens. There’s no lens in that eye at all.
I understand that these complications are relatively rare, but it’s been kind of an ordeal. Cataract surgery normally takes about ten minutes of actual surgery, so you might be in the operating room for 15-20 minutes. It’s a regular assembly line. Patients are lined up in the rooms where they prep you for surgery, and they get wheeled in and wheeled out of the OR very quickly, and then they walk out the door. So I don’t mean to alarm anyone who needs cataract surgery. As one of my friends put it, “I didn’t know that could even happen.”
I know this is off-topic. But since you mentioned cataract surgery….
Just venting.
No vaccine. Probably had Covid a couple of times, but not sure, because I also never had a ‘test’. What would be the point of that?
Anthea – Ouch.
Glad it worked out though…
Anthea: Get well, soon! And egads, you have me worried, now. I have the beginnings of cataracts while simultaneously being of Scandinavian heritage, and no, my eyes do not dilate well, at all. Nor do they see very well in bright conditions, despite the tight pupils.
@ megabeth:
I had cataract surgery in the other eye about ten years ago, and that surgery went okay–except that the surgery took about 45 minutes, when normally it would take about 10 minutes. I had an uneventful recovery, except that I had to wear dark glasses for almost a year. Most people have no issues with bright lights after a week or two. Even my computer screen seemed blindingly bright, so I wore those very dark glasses to look at the computer.
I really enjoyed the anasthetic they gave me with the first surgery. I spent a good part of the surgery running through the rain with friends, in 1975. For the recent surgery, I asked the anasthesiologist about giving me some more of that. She said, “That sounds like ketamine,” but she didn’t give me that.
Thanks for the good wishes!
What is even sadder are the ones that have trampled the Hippocratic Oath, and are cutting into and mutilating healthy bodies to “cure” the mental disorder of gender dysphoria.
The Hippocratic Oath must have changed to “First, do as much harm as possible”.
This evil mind virus seems to be particularly effective on doctors.
@Jack
The Hippocratic Oath has been changed to read
“First, keep your job!”
Please plan to act accordingly.
Hippocratic seems too close to hypocritical which, as such, may have a greater risk for subconsciously bleeding too easily into the former for some pseudo-medical careerists.
I can think of some other adjectives that apply to doctors, RD3.
Egomaniacal is one that springs to mind. My cardiologist refused to see me when I refused to wear a mask. He launched into a diatribe about how effective masks are and how amazing the technology in the death shot was and if I only understood technology, I would change my mind. Not bragging but my GPA for my degree in computer science was 4.0 and this egotistical SOB is telling me about technology. I worked on some of the very software he uses. The man is a dope, brainwashed into thinking he’s smarter than the rest of the world.
In an effort to get me out of the hospital bed and “up and moving” I was being walked around a hospital floor by a very attractive nurse one time when a doctor approached her and basically chewed her out for some minor thing. The nurse stood there and took it and after the doctor stormed off in a huff, she said “What’s the difference between God and a surgeon?” I smiled and shrugged. “God doesn’t think he’s a surgeon.”
I have zero confidence in any member of the medical profession.They are co-opted, corrupt, arrogant and greedy.
Q: What do you call the person who finished at the very bottom of their class in medical school?
A: Doctor.
Yeah, some can be real a-holes. Those type used to be called “Tin Gods” by the staff.
They used to be called Pill Pushers, but they have upped their game.
Although my sister sent me a copy of the shots we got as children, yesterday.
My mother wrote it all down, and my sister is cleaning a room and found it.
We got THREE smallpox shots, apiece! WTF? Smallpox was wiped out in the US by the time we came along.
And we each got 6 polio vaccines, and I got a tetanus every two years.
So they were pushing shots back then, also. They just didn’t have as many.
Dr. McCullough said that he got a lot as a child also, but the kids today get around 70.
I think the confusion stems from the fact that surgeons wear masks at work.
That leads people to think of mask efficacy as a medical issue, and doctors are trained in medicine.
Whether masks work or not isn’t about disease, it is physics.
You only need perhaps a 9th-grade level physics education to understand that.
Very early on in this plandemic I researche
They definitely were giving smallpox vaccinations in the 1940s. In fact, the word “vaccination” as far as I knew referred only to these specific vaccinations.
They were more like variolation—a series of pricks on the skin to introduce the vaccine. Most men had them on their outside upper arms, where these scars were perfectly visible.
Later, children got them and carried the pinprock scars on the outside upper thigh. Mine is still visible, on my left leg. I don’t know how soon after my birth I was given the vaccination. It might have been later.
httpX://www.healthline.com/health/smallpox-vaccine-scar
That was it for “vaccinations” until the polio vaccine came along. I have no recollection of anyone referring to these shots (later the oral vaccine) as “vaccinations.” They were just called “polio shots.”
The obsession with vaccinations” shtick to me seems like a relatively recent phenomenon.
The number of vaccinations given to infants is shocking.
I speculate that many of those born in the early baby boom years will end up living longer than later-born who were heavily vaccinated as infants.
Doctors and for that matter nurses, are the most over-esteemed professional class on the face of the Earth, or at least in this country fka USA.
Them getting their justly served humble pies, would be nice, but I will believe it when I see it.
Nurses are paid to take ORDERS from…..doctors!
I know. I practiced nursing for over 40 years!
Once in a while a surgeon would be concerned about something he couldn’t figure out. One had a post-op plastic surgery patient who had intractable hiccups for two days and nights.
Finally he asked me what I thought. (Gasp!)
I said, “Let’s give him 50 mg. of Thorazine. I have seen that work.” So we did.
When I left my evening shift the patient was out like a light and the next day he woke up sans hiccups.
This surgeon called me that afternoon and thanked me.
Remember the dancing, hero nurses who would go out and try to stare down protestors?
Many of them ended up getting fired when they wised up to the carnage and refused their next shot.
Well, the screen suddenly flashed and the incomplete sentence “Very early on in this plandemic I researche” landed.
So ,Very early on in this plandemic I researched masks.
Apparently they have a 100+ year history in the OR. There is a paucity of studies, thus they remain a question mark.
Here’s a few results:
I’ll round the numbers for this one:
Day on, day off, study to investigate impact on post-op illness, 1500 (round #) enrolled in each group.
Result 3% in one group and 4% in the other group got post-op illness. Statistically insignificant.
Another studied air quality after scrubbing the OR, mask always required. They found no matter how ‘sterile’ the OR, was, as soon as those double doors open to bring in the patient, all the stuff in the hallway air sweeps right in along with the patient. Hardy a sterile OR.
N95: should be used short term, and wearer needs to be FIT tested. Change mask frequently, like every couple of hours.
I had a whole list of links, got tired of doing it because the result was aways reinforced: there is no clear evidence of stopping microscopic material with masks designed for use in healthcare settings.
The cloth designer masks? Not going to bother going there.
So, now I and many others are being confronted with ‘the masks are back’ stories, stories based in fact by first-person reports. The fiction is getting a tune-up and a replay is in progress.
“Nurses: saving people from doctors for 150 years.”
I have a coffee cup, Dave, given to me by a doctor, that says:
“Be nice to nurses. They keep the doctors from killing you.”
“Well, the screen suddenly flashed and the incomplete sentence ‘Very early on in this plandemic I researche’ landed.” ~ Not_GeorgeT

Oh ok…
I thought maybe you were attempting something like this and then just got bored, gave up or had to leave in a hurry:
‘Très tôt dans cette plandémie, j’ai fait des recherches.’
My oldest son, 32, was to get married two Januaries ago admist covid. Myself, my wife and my youngest son never got the jabs but (my daughter in law’s family is super pro vaccine) you couldn’t attend the wedding unless you were vaxxed up-that was the law in Ontario at the time.
Without telling me my wife got vaxxed up (2) then my son came by and asked me:
“You’re not coming to my wedding cause you won’t take a shot ”
I replied, “I’d rather attend your 40th birthday party”
Anyways, the wedding got cancelled because of covid regulations in January and they had it in June, the restrictions came off I attended the wedding.
However, my wife’s heath has declined since she got vaxxed , nothing major but discernable; and , as any long time married man (5 plus years) knows she constantly blames me for letting her get the vax and mad that my health has improved.
34 years.
Many people I know who took the swill have aged considerably in a quite visible manner.
One guy is nearly completely grey now at 42.
I can’t prove it but I strongly suspect the vax is decimating my family.
My daughter was diagnosed with RA & Lupus shortly after shot #2. Her work would have terminated her had she not complied.
My father lost the ability to speak after his round of shots and has very advanced dementia now.
My mother is now in a wheelchair having had a series of strokes that afflicted her immediately after round two.
Two of my cousins died so suddenly that they were found sitting upright in chairs. They didn’t even have time to fall over.
My sister has had both breast and skin cancer.
Yesterday my Uncle was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer.
I know that people get sick but much of this is suspicious.
Nickel-my wife’s co worker has a brother was a healthy 38; after the third vax he had bad lung trouble; now he is on a waiting list for a new lung.
I have to give his Doctors credit they told him it was a vaxx injury.
My brother was in good health until he got the vaxx, and he died within two years. He got covid while he was in the hospital for one of his mysterious ailments.
Women are fatally flawed: They cannot take responsibility and blame men for everything.
So we might as well be in charge for real. We are anyway when things go wrong. Not Master/Slave. Pilot/Copilot, often asking their advice, acknowledging their areas of expertise, etc.
Oh Jarek.
Yes Beryl, there is no greater expert on women than Jarek. Apparently self taught.
Jarek-I like your logic!!!
Sorry for your loss, Beryl of Oyl.
If covid comes back online again, I and many more will not be responding in the same way we did before.
If any industry spooks are reading this, you have been forewarned.
Fool me once, shame on you… An eye for an eye…
Thats a human tale.
MD is a druggie or pusher.
Nursing student told me ‘I have to memorize the names [n use?] of 500 meds.’
500.
All they are nowadays are salesmen or even henchmen for Big Pharma/medical death complex.
They can fuck right off.
Second post.
I know people who are of the same mind. They blame Trump for dragging his feet on making the shot available (!) and not doing enough to get everyone vaccinated (!!). However, Fauci is still a hero, and the unvaxed are murderous traitors second only to January 6 rioters and Trump as purveyors of evil.
Has anyone besides me noticed Trump’s video of this week where he denounces “Covid tyrants” and says we’re not taking their shots and not wearing a mask and not locking down?
This if from the guy who claims to be the father of the death shot and who locked those of us who would participate down!
Irony…anyone?
is…not if…fat fingered it
This is the only reason anybody heard of his major rival Ron DeSantis.
He can’t go on ignoring the mood of his supporters anymore.
He was rolled by his staff. Bobby Kennedy deals with this during his announcement spech in Boston on 4/19.
Paraphrasing, he (DJT) knew deep down there was a problem. He was rolled by his staff. The issue becomes why didn’t he correct the staff problem’.
From further research, apparently what he signed off on as the deal has ‘safe and effective’ specificlly those words, at least 15 times.
So why does he not come and be transparent? I suspect it is his ego. He also has a personal policy of never apologizing.
A true apology would likely be accepted by much of the country.

“All I want is for one interviewer to ask Trump about Op Warp Speed, the mRNA, lockdowns, and honoring Fauci with medals.
Seems too high a bar right now.
Need more independent media.”

Not George- Trump will be rolled by his staff again. They’ve got him figured out pretty well. He may think he’s his own man, but he’ll be manipulated. He’s being rolled right now with this electoral campaign. I think he’s sincere as a narcissist can be, and the injustices he’s suffering are certainly real, but all this is being orchestrated for a reason. Think Color Revolution. It’s something the CIA and other nefarious orgs have perfected all over the world. Ukraine is a prime example. The US is the main target now.
The actors may be sincere, actually they’re the best type for Color rev’s, but all this is being done to destroy US society. Why? Because it has to go down in order to be replaced. People’s grievences on both sides are real and deeply felt, but they are being rolled too. Egged on by NGOs and other well funded actors who are usually sincere too though often nuts.
Comparative Impact Velocities
Jimpa, energy is key and it’s all going down, not just the US.
It seems simply just a question of who will get more of the scraps/dregs.
Last I looked and, if recalled, the US was 5% of the global population consuming 25% of the global energies and/or resources.
America seems to have has a longer way to fall and, as such, a higher impact velocity.
If you want to continue to drive, maybe consider a vehicle that’s better/best for off-road, increasing civil infrastructure degradation and even sleeping/camping in.
More like hypocrisy.
He has always said that the mandates were wrong and should never have been attempted.
The distinction is important.
I do not know why he thinks (or now thought) the shots were safe or even needed.
He was fooled. Not exactly alone. And, they kept telling him he would be responsible for the deaths of millions if he did not act immediately.
For a person with a huge ego like Trump, to say ‘I was scammed by Fauci and made a big mistake’ … is not easy. He probably figures if he waits long enough, he can just switch sides and not have to say ‘I was wrong, I was fooled’.
At least he is saying the right things now, as they gear up for another round of tyranny.
And note, there are millions and millions of people who will not admit the same, even in the face of serious health problems for themselves.
Steve, I listened to a good interview with Mike Flynn today.
I think people have no idea what Trump and co. were dealing with.
Cankerpuss, I suppose if your 5 time vaccinated friend dies everyone will say ,”think how much worse the death would have been if not for those soothing shots.”
And he’s waiting for Biden’s next round of vaccines to come along so he can go get that one too.
Biden said the next shot will be free. What a deal! I’ll have to duct tape myself into my computer chair to resist rushing out to get mine.

“Biden said the next shot will be free”.
That means you and I already paid for it.
Did anyone watch the Dr. Peter McCullough video?
It’s obvious the doctor is a conspiracy theorist spreading dangerous misinformation. He should be cancelled.
Oh Frank, you know you’re just trying to get our attention with that crazy talk.
Frank,
McCullough is only scratching the surface. At present, he is more an unintentional gatekeeper–defining the boundaries of the discussion.
“Covid-19” has never been definitively shown to exist. Just another layer of fraud to keep us digging away as the Great Reset threads of deception intertwine to form the hangman’s noose.
Patrick Henningsen over at TNT Radio just had another great segment on this very topic. Mike Yeadon has stated repeatedly that he has seen no evidence for the so-called virus.
When one pieces together the circumstantial evidence, nearly everything points to one thing: Fraud.

In rational discussion, nobody ever tells someone else what they know, think, understand, believe, etc. It is infuriating to waste one’s time countering such bullish!t.

tuco22, faux pas notwithstanding, I like the cut of your jib. It would be great if you could pop-in during the week and help the Big Kahuna and I wrestle many knuckleheads.
*Great essay
Thanks. It was more of a common saying where I’m from as an attempt to establish some camaraderie between two people, but it got taken the wrong way, so I won’t be doing that again.
Did you feel that hot flush of embarrassment when your 7th grade teacher reprimanded you in front of the class?
Without presuming what anyone thinks, I can only report that in my circle of real-world friends and acquaintances, blind obedience and belief has become a hallmark of virtue for a disturbing majority. Group-think as a pathology. These are the same people who bought into the whole political charade over guilt and innocence. Critical thinking is just gone.
People don’t like to think. Was it ever different? The difference is that people used to be mostly on the same sensible page. This “page” is crazy.
For every person who is above the crowd, there are dozens who are below it. The status quo is a shining beacon for such people – or rather, it should be and it used to be.
It’s a sign of successfully applied training. Practice. Practice. Practice.
Even the most sheeplike and stupid among us, if they once realize that they’ve allowed themselves to be injected with a poison that will prematurely end their lives and those of their loved ones, will experience panic and rage. No one can say with certainty what they’ll do then, but I think we can cross off yawning and stampeding to get the next shot.
FWIW…I have seen some signs in our community that the scam will be harder to put over this time around…
Thanks for the McCullough video Jim.
The last 5 minutes he explains the sudden transgender topic very well. Excellent.
The topic is not really all that sudden.
I remember some 15 or more years ago a burly dump truck driver getting feminizing hormones at our pharmacy. He was always accompanied by one or two beautiful women strongly encouraging him to get his medications. I think they were getting a turn-on manipulating him into surgically castrating himself.
The difference is that back then you were not forced to call him a “her”.
True…but I still don’t call a him a “her” and if someone doesn’t like it, tough….,
Using the “correct” pronouns is just a courtesy affirming the individual’s right to disrespect himself, herself, itself or whatever.
An individual has the right to disrespect themselves, of course.
But why should the general public be forced to cosplay with their debauchery?
@ Frank Buttitch:
No, it’s a lie.
I knew three male-to-female sex changes–by which I mean they had had the dick removal, fake boobs, and artificially constructed vagina–back in the seventies. I guess I didn’t exactly “know” them. They were just people at the periphery of my social group. Once, after making a very late night of it, I decided to take a cab home, and one of the ladies asked me if I wanted to go to breakfast with her. We took a cab to the Brasserie (this was in NYC) and had a pretty long chat. She told me that she had been married, but that her husband never knew she was a trannie.
While we were eating breakfast, she kept rolling her eyes and licking her lips at some guys in a nearby booth. (Surprisingly, the place was packed at four in the morning.) We went our separate ways after breakfast–she for some lucrative early-morning prostitution and me to get home and get to bed.
But it turned out okay, I guess, as the guys picked up both our tabs. In subsequent years, I’ve realized that I was probably “bait” in that instance.
““Joe Biden” has LARPed his way to the final act of his performance. The evidence of his high crimes, and the covering-up of those high crimes by our lawless law officialdom, is piled high enough to eject him into the swales of infamy. We know exactly how the Ukraine grift went down — the documentation is stark and florid — as is the rest of family’s bribery operations in other lands not necessarily friendly to our own land. So, add treason to bribery and there you have the complete kit of perfidious treachery against the nation.”
One can hope but ignoring it and then pretending it happened too long ago to matter has got them this far so why think it cannot continue?
I mean the checks to C. Steele, emails, texts and other documentation for the Russiagate hoax/ conspiracy have been laid out for years now and slightly more than 50% of US’ers still think the “Don” was the villain in that fiasco.
“One can hope but ignoring it and then pretending it happened too long ago to matter has got them this far so why think it cannot continue?”
With no counter-group to punish any of these people, it will continue. Nothing will change. The elite cabal will re-install Biden if they feel like it, or change him out, if they feel like it. They will keep Trump as a foil and to draw out all the people they want to punish, or they’ll take him out, if they feel like it. They’ll keep murdering people with new jabs if they feel like it, or if they think the job is sufficiently accomplished, they’ll retire the jabs, if they feel like it. They’ll continue to import millions of third-world peasants to destroy the Remnant, drive down wages, bring in new diseases they can exploit, if they feel like it, or they can shut the operation down, if they feel like it…..
Keep voting for those elected representatives!
I can honestly say my main concern with voting now is keeping a sane Sheriff in my county and the woke off the local school boards. Beyond that I’d agree there is little point.
I won’t vote in Federal elections anymore. Only the local. You are dead on correct.
Okay, to all you non-voters.
The Dems have figured out how to cinch elections.
They have culled out a group, the Blacks, and kow towed to every whim, every gimme request to the point of ridiculous reparations.
The result? When elections are separated by 1-5%, having a bloc like this is powerful stuff. The 50-50% split makes owning the Blacks almost unbeatable.
Add on the cheating factories that cultivate the illegal vote trade and the Dems can pretty much do what they want.
I laugh, maybe cry at what Trump is accused of doing in Georgia. Just think, an hour before Trump queried whether the GOP could come up with 1100 more votes, the Dems were querying how many more votes did they need to falsify to win. All in Atlanta, a Black megapolis.
You need to vote. I wonder if 11000 Georgia white conservatives stayed home!
Doesn’t matter. They would have come up with 11,005 votes.
The problem, JohnAZ, is even if we do get that Republican into office what do they do when they get there? Nothing. Not a damned thing.
Look at the “freedom caucus” that stood up to McCarthy’s speakership. Rogue Federal Courts in the District of Columbia are under the direct oversight of the US Congress. Constitutionally, it’s all there. The Congress has the authority to remove rogue justices. Since all lawsuits involve the Federal Government are heard by Federal Courts the US Congress has the Constitutional authority to address the situation.
Where are the “freedom caucus” members on this? No where. Nada. Zip.
So what good does it do to vote for these people?
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has been publicly demonstrating dementia lately. I wonder: did he get a potent dose of the vaccine or is it natural? Either way, time for the slippery Rino to join Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Fetterman, and the others at the rest home.
Trump was promising to outdo them if elected last time around. His “platinum plan” would have rivaled Johnson’s Great Society.
In old Haiti it was the mulattoes who held the balance of power, often attaining wealth and even Black slaves. When a new French regime ordered them stripped of their privileged, the Whites knew it was the stroke of doom. The mulattoes threw in with the Blacks and the carnage began. Jefferson met with some of the Whites who escaped the genocide.
@Jarek
At the heart of Haiti’s real problem…VOODOO.
From that stems misery and Haiti has been doomed and hell on earth since.
It is so bad one can actually see the line of demarcation from space Haiti stripped and the DI lush and green.
Since when did black Americans vote republican?
Cankerpuss – get real, man. The Freedom Caucus has a lot of pull, but they are still only about 10% of the GOP total caucus in the House. The RINO’s will NEVER vote to do the things to the DC court that you suggested. Since political capital is a precious thing, the Freedom Caucus chooses their fights carefully and resists the urge to tilt at windmills they cannot topple alone.
RD3 – you’re exactly right – “if they feel like it”. Joe Biggs, of the Proud Boys, sentenced to 17 years in prison. The US prosecutor claims the J6 defendants believed they were starting the second American Revolution. Real revolutions are armed revolutions. He’ll see. This was nothing of the sort.
They’ll go after every white leader that sticks his/her head up and leave the black ones alone.
As long as the blacks and Latinos stay on the plantation. Notice how crazy they got after so many blacks and Latinos started to support Trump. That was really when the knives came out for MAGA. Trump had hit on an unshakable coalition of half the white population and a (growing) third of blacks and Latinos.
Agreed. Better not to stick your head up. Better to deliver a message from 300 yards out – from a place they will not see, a sound they will not hear.
During a debate Trump did say, Proud Boys stand by. A throwaway line but it helped support the Democrat narrative.
Reagan (I think) made a joke about a strike against Russia. Russia immediately scrambled all their jets, etc.
Trump never served in the military. And as we know now, is very cautious about actually taking action. He is about the last person who would ever lead a coup.
Bingo! RD3 got it. There is nobody to counter the PTB. The Republicans? Seriously? The Republicans are so feckless they can’t even get themselves a real minority leader in the Senate. Mitch McConnell is in rapid decline and will soon be dead or incapacitated from dementia yet the idiot spineless Republicans still salute him and uphold him as their leader. What an absolute joke?
And what are the Republicans doing about the shame justice system administered by the Federal courts in Washington D.C.? Nothing. Even though the Constitution grants the Congress direct authority to remove and establish judgeships within the district of Columbia. The Republicans do nothing. Where are those tough Republicans who stood up to McCarthy? Gone. Like a fart in the wind, those “tough” Republicans say nothing while rogue leftist judges put peaceful pro-life protesters who harmed nobody into prison for 17 years.
There is no opposition to the ruling party. Republicans are worse than the Democrats. They give lip service but their actions show they are in full support of what is going on. Or, they are spineless boobs who are content to sit there and collect their big stipend and lobby for their next media talking head gig while the nation burns.
I absolutely despise and hate all things Republican.
Clyde Wilson has said that the purpose of the Republican Party is to capture and defuse populist uprisings.
Wallace
Reagan
“Republican Revolution” of 94
Tea Party
MAGA
I’m sure I’m missing some, but sure seems to me that Wilson is correct.
I would tend to agree with that. I’ve wondered that myself in the past, off and on. There always seemed to be something that “diffused” the ongoing angst.
RD3: Ironically Karl Marx was assigned a similar task, that being keeping labor from violently revolting against the industrialists of those times. CONTRARY to official “history” Marx was a populist “PRETENDER” whose name is STILL hallowed in the ranks of the global elite. Mohammed Ali called it ” Rope A Dope”.
Its all Kabuki theatre the same PTB control all the levers in the West with the possible exception of Hungary and Serbia.
Well said, loose. Capitalism/Communism is one system. In one major biography, the young thug, Stalin, is reported to have been running down the street, whooping about just getting a job with the Rothschilds.
They seem so to me, in retrospect. If it’s not intentional, it nevertheless has the same effect as if it had been a deliberate encouragement of the belief that someone is taking care of things and we need not do anything. Certainly Qanon fits that description, encouraging people to believe that all sorts of action was being taken on a level they couldn’t see.
Dr. Wilson is a smart man. It was always a privilege to hear him speak at various conferences.
No, you hate all things Uniparty.
The job of all the DC electors is to get re-elected. That explains the dog and pony shows we witness from both sides.
Remember that the primary allegiance in DC is to the Deep State, not either party. The difference between DC, the Congress especially, and a whorehouse is not much. Both go down and do anything to get their return.
Viable third party, specifically against the Deep State, is the only answer. Without that leverage against the Uniparty, the war is lost.
That is assuming the Uniparty has not succeeded in banning third parties by then.
Uniparty. There you go. Spot on.
The beast has two wings – left wing and a right wing. The sheep are encouraged to huddle under one wing to avoid the other. The beast feeds and sheep get devoured either way.
Ron Anselmo is absolutely correct. There are few things more powerful than a silent message from 300 yards out. When CW2 goes fully live, this concept will become well known.
A friend of mine has a big piece of land in the mountains and has been practicing silent messages from 1,000 yards.
NDoc/RD,
Not me. I used to be a long range precision shooter, and I live in the woods/mountains. I gave up all my guns several years ago.
To save the children.
Speaking of civil war, this could not be more true, and we have all seen it happen:
“First thing that happens when civil order breaks down is people start using the lawlessness to settle scores.”
This is from Martyr Made.
First thing that happens when civil order breaks down is people start using the lawlessness to settle scores. We have a blinkered view of Civil war because of how ours went down. We didn’t really have a civil war; we split into two countries and had a regular war. Civil war looks like Beirut or Sarajevo, where you couldn’t walk outside for fear of being randomly sniped, and there were no pitched battles, just kidnappings, assassination, and basement torture sessions…

That’s called intericene warfare, Beryl.
Regarding the guy shooting out 1000 yards, I can’t even see 1000 yards. 125 yards is the limit of my Winchester 1894, and that’s stretching it.
@ Beryl of Oyl:
You got that right. There are some towns and counties where there are a lot of stored-up grievances. I think they’re mostly related to abuse of power by various governmental entities, so probably most of the scores that would be settled would be with crooked judges and lawyers, cops, and city and county officials. People might also want to take out their neighborhood drug dealer, whom the cops have allowed to operate unmolested for ten or fifteen years.
People may be annoyed with their neighbors, but they only get “killin’ mad” in relation to people who abuse their power. Well–except for the neighborhood tweakers who siphon gas from your car or break into your shed and steal your tools.
shame justice system – Canker

shame or sham?
Both.
RD3: How cynical BUT how true. The reason law was invented was to create some control and order in society. While the law has been abused throughout history it has stood as the alternative to chaos. With the current lawless regime methinks we are in for “interesting times”. Who will watch the watchers?
My outlook has changed, bigly of course.
After so many decades of shallow thinking and cursorily believing a primarily false premise of what and who this nation is, I’m coming out of the PTSD-attendant daze of this latest insult to my intelligence. I actually knew better during the Vietnam “police action.” My first inkling was a once upon a time November 22 in Dallas.
Sooo… the rest of my time in this beat up meatsack will be dedicated to “How to Successfully Navigate a Farce.”

“The Don” is Emmanuel Goldstein in our Americanized version of 1984.

Figures Pedo Joe would have “Peters” as a pseudonym.
War is always the Answer. The difference is that Nuclear War is the Final Solution.
At least it will prevent President Obiden from facing impeachment.
Tucker Carlson gave an interview in which he predicted a hot war against Russia within the next year to rally support for Biden and permit the use of emergency powers that will allow for the suspension of things like civil rights and the election. Carlson said the big concern is that it could turn into a thermonuclear exchange of the sort we were always told would be started by Ronaldus Magnus (or any other Republican).
August was one hell of a bumpy ride. I can hardly wait to see what September has in store. (not)

We need to fix the Country, not discuss what the ancient Romans did. I know history repeats itself but we need solutions not problems!
Bullitt, do you really think this mess is fixable? Sure, there are solutions. We could easily fix our elections system and I have laid out a simple plan on previous posts to do just that. But we have a problem. The powers that be don’t want to fix anything.
I have come to the unfortunate realization that this Country isn’t worth saving anymore.

Not just GOP.
The group? Look at who is trying to destroy Trump, as he is the ONLY national level guy who is trying to stop the decline.
You are describing social discipline, the morality of a culture.
With diversity, there is no central culture. So every perverted group can pretty much do what they want, especially concentrating political power in areas to take over.
Diversity is NOT a good thing. The idea that diversity gives us great restaurants is absurd. Diversity gives us all the wonderful items CankerPuss just described.
Without a central unifying culture, morality dies, the collective church dies, individuality dies, and the culture dies.
We are all witnesses to this change, and every immigrant we admit makes it worse.
BTW, where is the main center of peoples with social values that have not been destroyed by diversity. They are homogeneous zones, Russia, Middle East, Japan, China.
BRICS++
It is ironic that the diversity treasured in this country, and used by the government to divide us, will probably be what destroys us.
Does anyone think that there is a way out of the downfall of America?
JohnAZ, as a Christian who believes that one day a one Jesus Christ will return and rule the Earth, I don’t believe there is anyway out of this mess. Think about it. When and if Christ returns do you think he’ll be invited to a joint session of Congress to debate the merits of abortion rights? Or, if Christ comes back do you think he’ll be invited onto MSNBC to debate the pros and cons of transgenderism with Joe Scarborough? No. When he returns there won’t be much left.
That’s the way I see it anyway.
Christ is coming in the form of a giant asteroid or a killer solar flare. Take your pick.
Diversity is divisive.
It did give us ethnic restaurants. But that people would actually think this justifies losing our nation for is madness. It just shows they have no idea of what a nation is and no appreciation for their own culture and history.
Note: We could have expanded our cuisine without losing our nation.
“Children being preyed upon by sexual deviants.”

My daughter tells me that MOST of the married couples among her friends are unable to have children. I think this must be at least a slight exaggeration, because some of the groups she belongs to are always having a “food train” for a new mom. But there really does seem to be an alarming increase in infertility among white couples–which seems to be mostly female infertility.
It’ difficult-to-impossible to get any figures on this. How would you measure it? I suppose you’d look at the numbers of couples seeking treatment for infertility, compared to past figures.
Although the lack of statistics makes it hard to say anything with much certainty, I have the impression that infertility is disproportionately a “white people” problem. Since all of my daughter’s friends are well educated professionals, you can’t help but wonder if this group is disproportionately affected.
Since–anecdotally, at least–you don’t see this problem among blacks or Hispanics, it makes you wonder if whites, and particularly whites of the professional class, have somehow been targeted for infertility. How would you even do that?
I wish someone would look into this problem.
I belonged to the community of infertiles, back in the day, but my problem was a developmental fluke–a congenital uterine anomaly. Most couples I knew suffered from anovulation, frequently from polycystic ovarian syndrome which, frankly, is a disease of affluence. Nobody is concertedly trying to make whites infertile except whites themselves, through their own economic success.
@ Megabeth:
One thing you see, when it comes to infertility, is that it seems like infertility is much more likely among educated, health-conscious professionals–people who eat right, exercise, and lead a healthy lifestyle. The white people who seem to be untroubled by infertility are the ones who have lousy diets and disordered lives.
You could do that with a virus genetically altered to attack specific ethnicities & an mRNA “vaccine” against said virus designed to migrate to specific organs, such as gonads.
And yes, it can be done. Different ethnicities have genetic differences beyond skin color. Eg, some (forget if north or south) Asians & Africans have more Ace2 receptors than whites. And the covid “vax” has constituents that cause the mrna to congregate in specific organs, including ovaries & testes, where it produces the lethal spikes.
Anthea, I also noted that the infertility support groups I was connected with were predominantly made up of the well educated, typically in their 30s and 40s, when fecundity naturally drops, and that’s not much of a surprise. When it comes to PCOS, a lot of younger women with it manage to have a baby in their late teens or early 20s before finding themselves secondarily infertile. Whatever the particular cause, infertility largely affects older women.
I think what happens in many cases is that couples begin “trying” to have a baby while still in their twenties but don’t begin to suspect infertility until several years have passed, so they’re apt to be in their thirties before they see a doctor about it.
Another tip-off is when young people in their twenties have been sexually active for years but have never had even one “false alarm.”
I’m not sure, mainly because I haven’t asked my daughter about her friends’ ages, but I’m guessing that they’re in their thirties and were probably diagnosed with infertility many years before.
Also–though, again, I haven’t looked into the statistics–it doesn’t seem to me that the decline in fertility ater thirty is all that significant. In former times, it was quite usual for women in their thirties to have children. I can see how there is probably a greatly reduced likelihood of falling pregnant in your forties, but even that was not uncommon in former times.
You can fix that in your own life, and your family’s life…that’s about it…
“Country,” what Country?

Free Speech is messy. You’ll hear things that you wish you never had. You’ll endure mindless rantings. But you’ll get to say your piece (whether that be for war or peace).
As Bilbo said, a road is a dangerous thing. You don’t know where it will take you. Just so the roads of thought. Stay on topic is often just the bullshit of people unable to travel – or scared to do so.
Of course our “friends” like to suddenly go wandering when they’re losing a debate, don’t they? They tend to be the stay on topic types the rest of the time.
“We need to fix the Country, not discuss what the ancient Romans did. ”

“The US will be delicately hung out to dry on this. Short of resorting to nuclear World War Three, there is nothing the US can do about it — except for the Democratic Party to blame the whole sorry thing on “Joe Biden” as he is forced to resign from office pending that aforesaid impeachment threat.”
There is another option for Democrats- blame everything on Trump. They can’t, you say? Don’t worry, they’ll manage.
RFK Jr. is leading the way, here he is blaming the border situation on Trump, and crediting Biden with just trying to be more humane than his predecessor:
“President Biden justified his open borders policy as a humanitarian response to the appalling media revelations that the Trump-era Border Patrol had 2,600 “children in cages.”
https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1697342250676539564?s=20
There is so much wrong with this I can’t even begin.
Maybe they’ll come up with another indictment for that, too.
Oyl left out half the tweet. See the finish, below. It’s an indictment of Biden policies.
The rest of the tweet:
Today there are 12,000 children in cages + 85,000 children have disappeared.

I didn’t leave out anything. That’s what the link is for.
Yes I know what it is, and that’s the PROBLEM.
He is maintaining that what Biden does is all the result of misguided policies.
He’s running against the policies, not the man, and he is LYING about the policies.
Did he not know those cages were from the previous administration, which Joe Biden was part of?
And the cages actually started with Obama. Bet he’s not bothering to mention that, either.
2013 – kids started going into cages.
Ok, I didn’t understand the nature of your complaint. I still don’t get why it’s a problem.
Campaigns reduce everything to sound bites & here he is running against both Biden & Trump in one sound bite.
Since Trump inherited the “cages” from Biden, but didn’t eliminate them, he, too, owns the policy.
He doesn’t need to run against “the man”
JB, at least not at this point. The GOP investigation & impeachment process will do that for him.
Plus, the policies will remain the same regardless of which deep state candidate “wins.”
Finally, if he runs against JB & the deep state replaces JB with, eg, Newsom, he’ll be back at square 1. Whereas, differentiating himself from policies works against any theoretical deep state candidate.
Also, you wrote he is trying to make Biden look more humane than Trump. But he clearly shows Biden drastically increased the # of kids in “cages.’
Or are you suggesting thay he thinks more kids in cages is an improvement?
RFK Jr. “Bobby” is just pandering to the party faithful like a good politician. No different than the others.
He’s ignoring what the administration is trying to do to Trump, and at the same time the revelations about the Biden crime syndicate are finally starting to creep into the MSM, he gave Biden a sterling character reference, and now he invented the tale that the open border is the result of Joe wanting to help those poor kids in cages.
What a liar.
He is just another mobster with allegiance to the Kennedy tradition, which originated with the head of the Irish mob.
As far as I recall, those were Barack Obama’s border cages. The same ones AOC was a’sheddin’ tears over.
Shedding tears faster than even spike proteins at that mid-plandemic soiree where she was all stenciled up in red lettering with “Tax the Rich.” Now that’s rich. And borderline.
Yes, borderline. As in Borderline Personality Disorder. Look it up.
Well, technically she was shedding tears at an empty parking lot.
But it’s the thought (photo op) that counts.
Yep. You remember correctly.
LOFL
Blame it on Trump.
Not just Dems.
I’m sorry to see this, but I expected that at some point RFK Jr. would begin modifying his message in order to placate the corrupt party he insists on supporting. If he really was serious, I think he’d have run as an Independent – where he could have had a slight chance of picking up refugees from both parties, as well as some anti-Trump Republicans. He’s realizing he has to cosy up to the Dems and repudiate Trump to have even an outside chance (which he really doesn’t have anyway). Note that earlier he’d said he was proud that Trump liked him. He has changed his tune, and clearly read the room since then, or had it read for him.
I think the guy just doesn’t want to be #4 on the assassination list.

His fudging of the truth on the Palestinian/Israel conflict and the subsequent, and very precise, takedown by Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate (on the Grayzone) seems to have given his campaign a pause.
He sticks to light topics and easy things like “peace” (except for those pesky Palestinians) and avoids anything of substance.
Here are a few titles of his recent video releases on Rumble:
– Not My Job to Judge (won’t judge Joe Biden)
– Eric Clapton for Truth, Unity & Peace (more rich & famous friends…)
– Free Passports for Americans (national ID)
His campaign feels like a work of some kind at this point. Buying time…something but it isn’t authentic.
I’m with you. RFK is not going to fix anything. The dude believes carbon dioxide is a toxic gas and that it is destroying the planet. A gas that plants need and absorb to produce food and expel oxygen. A man like this isn’t worth any consideration.
He thinks Uncle Teddy was a great man.
only 6000 will enter USA once we change the law,
200 million later.
The racial and ethnic makeup of the country will be unchanged!
I’d forgive him that, because we’re all a bit blind when it comes to family and Uncle Teddy is dead. But I’m seeing him beginning to carve himself up so as to fix in a box marked “Democrat” – as well as the confusion or obfuscation on the matters already mentioned.
A retired co-worker knew him years ago. She says he’s an arrogant whack job. But of course he’s a Kennedy, so a certain percentage of people will swoon over him on that basis alone.
The media, when it was in love with the Kennedy clan, spun the whole Camelot narrative. While Jack was busy banging away at Marilyn Monroe, random young secretaries, Jayne Mansfield, and generally anything he could find, the media crafted a fictitious tale about the handsome, brave young hero and his gorgeous, glamorous wife and perfect children. Obviously, the truth has been out there for a long time, but do you think, that if RFK, Jr. gets any serious traction, the corporate media will start burning down Camelot? There are still a lot of dumb Boomers out there who worship the whole Jackie O. fable…
In the late 1950’s Jackie had a miscarriage while JFK was on vacation in Europe. JFK told her he was too busy to come back, call RFK to help out if you need to.
At the time a complaint media ignored the story.
I heard Jackie liked wimmen.
Jane Mansfield too?
Jackie O nearly drank herself to death because of her lovely husband.
Yes, what a big fat farce.
Yes, he was banging away, AND he was a handsome, brave young hero. His wife was gorgeous and glamorous. And his kids were great. Believe it or not, all those things can be true.
RFK is not going to fix anything. – Canker

Did JHK hold his RFK fundraiser yet? Was it successful? I never hear Jim mention Bobby anymore. Whut’s up wit dat?
Hey, I thought you proofed JHK’s writing, dude. He trots in Bobby, Jr., right before the end of today’s essay, at which point he lost all verisimilitude.
Carbon dioxide is even more important for humans. Far from being a “waste gas”, CO2 in abundance generates mitochondrial, energetic health.
Those jab victims in the death wards on ventilators are breathing like Saint Bernards at 90 deg F noon, offloading what little CO2 they have left.
500 MM years ago-where I live in Oakville Canada on Lake Ontario-the climate here was tropical and there was 500% more CO2 in the air.
18,000 years ago there was 1.5 miles of ice above where my house now sits.
in 1000 AD Eric the Red colonized Greenland with his Vikings where they fished and grew barley.
By the beginning of the 14th century the Vikings had to abandon Greenland as a mini ice age had occurred and they couldn’t grow barley any more.
All this happened before one joule of fossil fuels was used (with the exception of Byzantine ‘fire’ – naphtha) on Earth.
The earth is coming out of an ice age and temperatures go up.
I want more Brits telling me who I should be voting for, don’t you?
Oh, definitely! Especially ancient flower child-era Brits. I’m so old that I’m almost a Boomer, myself, but Lord! am I ever sick of hearing from them.
RFK Jr-you are being too dismissive. If he wants to win he has to go the center-doesn’t mean he has to govern that way.
Good to know. Those titles are pretty scary!
It’s kind of strange the way the guy drops truth bombs on many subjects but then completely avoids others.
Ct, Sen. Blumenthal’s home state, has gone balls-in for mail-in-voting. I wouldn’t be surprised if voting for Nov. hasn’t already begun ~ Nov. 2024!
Quick aside, Russia reports that Sarmat is now on active duty.
Holy shit! So much for a quiet and unassuming backdown.
The Duran boys do point out frequently that the neocons don’t have a reverse gear.
I guess the Russians know that also.
“Joe Biden” to Solemnly Observe 9/11 Terrorist Attacks Anniversary… in Alaska.
Q1: Wasn’t Warren G. Harding in Alaska when the Teapot Dome scandal bubbled up to the surface?
Q2: Will the Democrats actually give permission to the Republicans for an “Impeachment”
school play?
I watched a very interesting presentation yesterday on You Tube by a German physicist on 9/11 and his hypothesis that there was a 4th generation nuclear bomb in the form of a uranium sphere implanted at the bottom of WTC1. He had a compelling argument.
So he hypothesis is a big explosion brought the towers down other than the other evidence that shows that a big explosion brought the towers down?
No, it was more of a slow “decay” process that initiated other processes, although he admits that thermate and thermite were also used. It was a 3-part video that was part of an article on Lew Rockwell from yesterday. Answered a lot of questions about why cars burned but the paper next to them didn’t, etc.

…Jesus Christ! …Just kill me now….
As Elysian Field said, “Just kill me now!”
That sounds about right.
The Dems want absolute control. Why would they permit the GOP to do anything that’s good for America, unless it serves the Party of Evil’s purposes?
One hundred years ago in July Warren G. Harding became the first U.S.President to visit the Territory of Alaska. He drove the Golden Spike on the Nenana River Bridge marking the completion of the railroad which runs from Seward on the Gulf of Alaska to Fairbanks in the Interior.
Local history has him getting food poisoning shortly thereafter, but by the quickie-Wiki-P it rather sounds like it was early warning signs of his upcoming cardiac arrest. One hundred years ago.
That said, we’ve had a shit-ton of federales show up this summer, Pete B was one of the latest. So now it’s Joe, hmm? I’ll be ready then for the big announcement of a couple of $ hundred billion for beefing up the military, possibly the reactivation of the Adak Naval station, a WW II-Cold War 1.0 1990’s deactivated major base. “$War is Peace$”
Ah, the Good Ol’ Days, when corruption in high places was considered a scandalous crime.
Greetings,
My grandmother was an ardent Italian Fascist. She and her neighbors were able to withstand an amazing amount of pain and suffering right up til the day that flour was no longer available and then “no one was a fascist anymore”.
She said that the German soldiers were just as hungry as they were and the army “melted away” once the supplies ran out.
We can expect nothing less here.
What was Pete B. out there? Giving chestfeeding tutorials? Dedicating a bridge, and naming after George Floyd?
BRICS will more than likely be the final straw that will collapse America. The noose is tightening as more and more countries beg to join the new team and toss the shackles that the US has held for so many decades.
When nobody shows up anymore to buy our debt, the cards will fall, and this country will collapse in to a financial whirlpool where the rich men north of Richmond will meet an angry and vengeful crowd that no longer has anything left to lose.
And the shills in the news media will be dragged out of their studios and strung up on lamp posts as will the “representatives” who represent none but their wallets.
If only…..
I think most people don’t believe our “government” would let that happen.
The phrase “you and what army” comes to mind.
The US has a Woke trannie military. How are they going to stop the inevitable collapse?
They can’t even protect the border. The only “territorial integrity” and “national sovereignty” they pay lip service to, is Ukraine’s.
We heard this same nonsense in the 1990’s when the Euro was established.
Most likely, the Rich Men North of Richmond, will be selling off the nation’s resources to the Chinese, or to various oligarchs, as happened in Russia with the collapse of the USSR.
In a serious financial collapse, the angry and vengeful crowd is likely to have their hands full trying to keep food on the table and gas in the tank and the urban youths repelled.
Of course, it might not go down that way at all. Maybe there will be a nuclear exchange.
JackStraw,
Agreed.
Why wouldn’t any country today have their best financial people fine-tooth-combing the national balance sheet to look for ways to get rid of US dollars and US treasuries?
And when they find opportunities to bypass US dollar involvement in their trade deals, I think we are done seeing the media announcements on how they are doing it. No more, “today Japan and Saudi Arabia have announced a new bi-lateral trade deal allowing Japan to pay for oil using a blend of yen and gold, blah blah blah….”
Countries are going to quit telling us HOW they are bypassing the dollar and US tbills and they are just going to keep finding ways to do it.
At this point, it seems to me that other countries are more transparent than the US.
We get bullshit handed to us by Squawking Heads quoting sources “who cannot be named”.
Other countries put out readouts, and official announcements.
At least, that is how it looks to me.
A good write up by Mr. Kunstler as always. His writings always give me a feeling of hope that something is finally going to break loose and the devious evil acts of our ruling class will finally come to light and the filthy bastards will finally reap the rewards for their crimes.
But…..nothing comes. The weeks turn into months and “JB” stays in power. The Ukraine disaster continues on. Congress does nothing. The justice system sends peaceful pro-life abortion protestors to prison for 17 years. Nothing happens. Nothing changes.
At some point I just want something to break, something to come loose and for the truth of what these bastards have done to finally come to light for the idiot masses to see.
It won’t happen. As much as I look forward to JHK’s writing I see things a little differently. Our collapse is not going to be quick. We are witnessing a very slow and deliberate destruction of the USA. So slow that the average American nitwit doesn’t notice. For he/she is too busy downloading their porn, looing for their next heroin fix, watching celebrities play army games in TV, fighting with fans over their NFL team, stuffing their faces with Big Macs, and so on and so forth.
I just want something big to happen. I feel like I am stuck in the middle of a road and I can see a Mack Truck barreling down upon me. I know it is going to hit. I know it is going to hurt like hell. But the truck never comes. It just sits and idles a few yards away from me. Almost like it is mocking me. Just hit me already so we can move on to the next phase of our lives, whatever that will be like.
Don’t worry. It’ll get much, much worse. Then, if we are indeed Babylon the Great, the country will cease to be in an hour. On the other hand, if we are last days Israel, the archangel Michael will deliver us from destruction by Russia and Iran, only to have a tremendous liar say he is God and he saved Israel. Either way, expect persecutions, murder, and mayhem to continue to be increasingly pervasive.
At some point I just want something to break, something to come loose and for the truth of what these bastards have done to finally come to light for the idiot masses to see.

As Jim from Florida used to say, The United States is a dead tree. And a dead tree can stand for a very long time. Few believed in the Soviet Union either, yet it lingered for generations.
Jarek,
And Jim in Florida also denied the existence of Nuclear Weapons.
Got a link for that, buddy?
Jarek,
The conversation I had with JIF was many years ago. He also wanted to kill all the Billionaires, as I recall.
Sorry, but no reference.
Damn! Peter McCullough tears it UP! How in the hell it is still up on YouTube is beyond me.
This is the schtizzle.
Q is in control, imho. This is all make-believe. They are now slowly awaking the masses. Otherwise, you’re right, this video would never be available to you and I on Youtube.
Who is Q? Not our Q I assume. John Galt?
Who is Q? Not our Q I assume. – Jar
==========
No, Jar, it is indeed me that Zonk is talking about. I am in complete control. 🙂
Grammatically.
One can say “I have complete control” or the one you chose – “I am in complete control.”
Do you control the vertical? Do you control the horizontal?
Qanon, e.g., a psyops of the deep state.
JK, I think you’re flat out blue skying everything. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t already come to their senses will come to their senses. The nation is lost. Too much of the public is suffering from mass psychosis not unlike Germany in 1930s. You know where that went. Half the nation is duped into thinking LGBTQXYZ++++ issues and climate change issues and race issues really are the MOST IMPORTANT crises of our time. They are never coming round again until they are on the streets hungry. So Mad Max World basically. It’s got to get a whole lot worse before there’s any great awakening if you ask me. Buckle up as they are steering this shitshow straight into the ground.
Yep. I thought the Government tyranny that was clearly evident during the covid debacle would awaken freedom loving Americans but, to my dismay and shock, most Americans doubled down on the tyranny and even began enforcing Government mandates on their own.
Here are my theories as to what is wrong. We have had it too good for too long. Our people no longer have to work to feed themselves. No longer have to work and build their own shelter. When people no longer have to worry about the basics for survival they then have ample time to worry about insignificant things such as their gender, their sexuality, their hair color, their piercings, their tattoos, their genitals and most nefarious, their pet causes. We really need a good war to cull the herd, a REAL pandemic to cull the herd, or a real DEPRESSION to cull the herd. The strong and intelligent will survive while the stupid blue haired tattooed grifters will kill themselves off.
The elimination of God has also had horrible impacts on our people. We are hard wired to believe in deity, possibly done on purpose by that deity to help us want to be better and to improve ourselves and make ourselves better than the dogs. As our people have rejected deity and self improvement they are still hardwired to worship deity. So, they turn to false deity. They worship depraved celebrities. They worship Government. They worship trees. They worship the creations of their own hands. They worship false Gods.
And so, here we are. A decadent, lazy, depraved society so far gone that there is no way to fix it.
I’m still waiting for that Mack Truck to finally hit me. Get it over with already.
And I argue that people today are lower than the dogs.
Dogs don’t abort their young.
Mother dogs work feverishly to care for their young, not destroy them like human females do.
Dogs don’t cover their bodies with graffiti.
Dogs don’t sexually exploit their young.
Most dogs love unconditionally and are loyal and faithful to even an abusive owner. Humans have no loyalty to anyone.
Dogs don’t waste. Humans waste everything.
Many people today are lower than the dogs. Way lower than the dogs.
Sad but true. While bargaining, Lot ultimately could not produce a single good man before the Lord finally, justly rained fire and brimstone down upon the orgy that was Sodom & Gomorrah.
We live in such times today. Online butts as far as the eye can see.
“This sh!t’s gettin’ real!”
dogs will eat defective pups.
dogs kill people.
dogs are inbred wolves, bred for a purpose.
They also eat poop and hump random legs and random puppies. They stink like crazy and bite children’s faces. They love to hunt in packs. They also grovel slavishly. I don’t get why some people hold dogs in such high esteem.
Remember that 50’s song, I’ll always love him – leader of the pack?
That is the model of male/female relationships at its most basic.
“They also eat poop and hump random legs and random puppies. They stink like crazy and bite children’s faces. They love to hunt in packs. They also grovel slavishly. I don’t get why some people hold dogs in such high esteem.”
Beth,
Because they rarely disappoint.
Dogs are highly variable. Most dogs are dogs, but some dogs are people. (I suppose you could say the same thing about people.)
The different breeds are very different. Some breeds are highly intelligent, and particular individuals among the intelligent breeds are REALLY intelligent. Some breeds are well mannered, but a lot of the “mutts” are not. Some breeds are courageous and will protect you and your property; others will hide behind you, if a stranger comes over.
Working dogs, like herd dogs, are AMAZINGLY skilled, devoted, and courageous, when it comes to protecting their charges.
Most dog-lovers want a “companion” dog, and it is often the only critter in their lives that gives them unconditional love and devotion. I’ve known animal-lovers who love dogs (and animals in general) and detest other humans. Often this is because their dog loves them, and nobody else does–though it has sometimes occurred to me that if they treated other humans as well as they treat their dogs, someone might like them.
My daughter and her husband had a wonderful herd dog who was part Great Pyr and part Akbash. He protected the goats and chickens from varmints and the garden from rabbits, and fearlessly ran off the neighbor’s cattle when they strayed onto their property. As my daughter put it, “He took such good care of us.” Her husband sat up all night with him, the night he died.
There are just different kinds of dogs.
Dogs have significant mutations that distinguish them from wolves. Specifically & significantly, much smaller adrenals & a mutation similar to “Williams Syndrome” that causes them to be flooded with oxytocin. The bonding hormone.
My mutt (lab/chow/heinz57) was well mannered, loved everybody, learned ridiculous amounts if human language, slept against my aching back, & after brutal,14 hour overnight shifts in the lab, would gently wash my feet one toe at a time. Humped my slippers as a tiny puppy, never again.
My black mouth cur saved me from attack by a dog nearly 3x his size. But let my lab puppy chew his ears, face & tail, & protected her. He had impeccable manners & smelled like warm cinnamon buns until he was very old. Never humped. Velcro dog in the house. Protective of his home & family outside.
My lab also has very good manners. She knows more human language than a lot of people. Her 1st full day home, at 8 weeks, learned her name, sit & come in minutes. Insanely smart.
None of my 3 dogs has ever exhibited the negative traits you claim.
Yes, the most dangerous place on Earth is the womb of a Western Woman.
The married man far above: My wife is mad at me because I’m healthy and she’s not – because I didn’t stop her from getting the Vax.
She wants him to suffer too. That’s “love”.
My husband thanks me at least weekly for warning him away from the Fauci sauce. I thank him quite frequently for buying me a revolver and teaching me how to shoot double-action when I was irrationally afraid of pew-pews.
@ Jarek:
St. Francis has advised us about this sort of thing:
“Grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.”
You’re always going to encounter various little snubs and irrationality and ingratitude. Your job is to respond to it like a man.
Kipling also had it right in his poem, “If.” It sets a very high bar, when it comes to our conduct in the world and in relation to other people, but that’s what you should strive for.
Various little snubs like your wife hating you for not chaining her inside so she couldn’t destroy herself.
And simultaneously wishing you were as sick and stupid as she is.
You drove your man off and then despised him for acceding to your desire to be rid of him.
You can’t win with many (most?) women.
@ Jarek:
Well, I think most of us–at least those who have been married–can tell many tales about how our spouses did stupid shit that we warned them against. Or they did stupid shit that one would think it would be unnecessary to warn them against (since surely nobody’s that stupid), and afterward blamed us for the bad outcome.
Ones expectation in such cases is acknowledgement of the fault, contrition, an an improveent in their after-conduct. If that doesn’t happen, your response will be proportionate to the severity of the problem. The wife’s behavior mentioned in the above case, as best I can evaluate this without knowing her or her husband, is on the order of a sulky teenager. While that will definitely get old, it can be managed–and even fixed, over time and where there is good will. If I were him, for example, I would confront her and point out that she must take responsibility for her own actions. You can have these conversations without displaying any rancor–at least on your own part. If you’re addressing a husband, he might blow his stack, and, if a wife, she might run weeping into the bathroom.
Some people can put up with this crap, and some people can’t. Some people respond to correction, and some people don’t.
There are two main kinds of problems iife; routine aggravation and Big Ass Trouble. It helps if you can tell the difference.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
– Luke 12:32
Do not despair. God wins.
Uh huh.
Right after He destroys the latest Babylon, or Sodom..
He looks away.
No. God never looks away, John. That is not a thing.
But it is most assuredly every man for himself. This world is ran by Satan. He will claim most souls. The vast majority will go to Hell. Sad but true.
It is our mandate in this realm to try and have our names appear in His Book of Life.
You are so conditioned to love your country. Your country is now a lost cause, imho. Repent your sins and save yourself.
@ Dr Zonk:
That’s why you should say the Fatima prayer to “save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.” I have been know to append, “even if I don’t like them very much,” as this can really go against a person’s inclinations.
God wins…Great! But…but who are the losers?
“I thought the Government tyranny that was clearly evident during the covid debacle would awaken freedom loving Americans but, to my dismay and shock, most Americans doubled down on the tyranny and even began enforcing Government mandates on their own.”
Everything has been carefully beta tested over the years. They wouldn’t have done it if they thought that they couldn’t suppress and manage the awakening. In fact, part of the plan was to cause some degree of “awakening” so these people could be identified and marked for destruction.
According to the Spars document, a system of compensation for vaccine injuries will be set up.
But what about justice for the murdered?
@Canker
This is the best post I’ve read in ages. I’ve been telling people forever to get over their “First World” problems. What kind of society creates MORE problems instead of solving the few?
“In a flat spin, auguring into the earth.”
Or “…buying the farm…” if you will.
Aviation English is colorful, particularly when it comes to fatalities.
Is that the Vietnam war hero – who misspoke??? Bidenesque. What a lying self aggrandizing group of worthless fucks and morons continue to vote for them. Ignorance is what’s killing our country.
Blumenthal
There is no hope for a state that re-elects Sen. Blumenthal over and over. If the rest of the northeast is as insane as Connecticut, we are headed for the dustbin of history.
New England is the epicenter of all of this and has been the cancer of the country since the founding.
Yes, political correctness is the New England disease, though it appeared in England as well. Between the two they conquered America and then the world.
Many who are against the Woke, are still politically correct – in other words, they lack the courage of their convictions since pc is the mother of woke.
Anyone following the Niger story? A military coup dislodged a France friendly government a few weeks ago, prompting a short visit by Satan’s girlfriend Victoria Nuland. Just the other day, the new leaders announced they were throwing out the French ambassador from the country, though so far they refuse to leave. Why all this bother about the poorest country in Sahel? It is France’ source of uranium for their nuclear reactors. Hahahaha.
T b ere are many ideas about the instigators of the coup. China? Russia? I think it’s the US. France went off theNATO reservation with China a few months back. So the neocons are showing them a world with no US protection.
Sorry, Satan has much better taste than to have the obese, ugly Nuland as a girlfriend.
And her husband, Kaplan should be given a medal for having intercourse with that abomination.
You’re making assumptions about their sexual proclivities. Intercourse? Snicker.
She was actually pretty attractive when she was young. Evil takes its toll on the mind and body.
Nuland then is a kind of reverse of Oscar Wilde’s “Picture of Dorian Grey”
More or less.
Interesting theory, reg. “Joe Biden” destroyed the infrastructure for Germany’s access to plentiful, (relatively) cheap Russian energy – and Germany is one of our most critical (economic and military) NATO allies! Why not France too?
“Joe Biden” appears to be at war with pretty much everyone except unjabbed migrants with free flights to a hotel near you.
I agree, reggiezz. This is the US pushing France out of Africa.
Niger’s people may be poor, but the country is rich in resources.
And we all know that the US will kill for oil. Truth is, they will kill for other resources also.
The phrase Banana Republic comes from the times the US killed for bananas.
Those African revolutions are no joke. All kinds of atrocities are unleashed, like cannibalism & human sacrifice for example. Characters like General Butt Naked rise to the fore, feral children are armed with automatic weapons, and rape/murder become the order of the day.
BRH,
Yes, and Zaz seems to think those conditions better than an active state.
ANARCHY!
My response here is similar to the defund/remove-some-cops scenario I responded to hereon recently, wherein the premise was that, as cops are State lynchpins/keystones, a society can’t just remove them just like that without taking any precautions and expect things to be hunky-dory.
So it is with removing a State.
But decline it must, and likely will, since its structurals, their quality, and how they were assembled and how they operate are all fundamentally defective.
Unlike anarchy.
Zaz,
I would like to further explore your perception of anarchy. You suggest that, in a declining state, that the quality of life will degrade, and that steps must be taken to mitigate the effects of those qualities that degrade? Further, you suggest that the state should be degraded to a point where active controls are defeated, and the quality of life then becomes…what? Have you any examples of anarchy in real life, or any historical period where anarchy might have been beneficial to human civilization? Or…or is civilization important?
Have you ever experience anarchy?
…BTW, If you want to buy into the State;
caveat emptor.
And like the good little adult naked apes that we’ll presume you are, maybe consider taking some responsibility when what you bought into, despite the warnings, goes south.
Not the US. The coup/Niger leader refused to meet with Nuland. She met a low level lackey & left with nothing accomplished.
Wagner has been active in Niger, as well as Mali, Burkina Fado & other adjacent countries.
More likely that the US downed Prighozin’s plane to disrupt Wagner in Africa by taking out its entire leadership.
Wagner was not in Niger yet. Piroghzin had met with the leaders before he was killed.
I agree that the US killed him, smack in the middle of the BRICS conference, and then conducted a world-wide media blitz blaming “that thug Putin”.
That’s how they do.
Check out MoA yesterday. He agrees with me that the US is pushing France out of Africa.
“Did the earlier vaccines not work, Joe?”
But we’re expected to TRUST them THIS time, because of course, THIS TIME they will work.
That the gen pop falls for this is just sad at this point.
Don’t miss that Dr Peter McCullough speech in the enclosed video.
It is sublime, superb in imparting the whole truth of what we and most of the world have been put through, and by whom over these past 3-1/2 years. He really lays it out authoritatively. It needed saying just so, and it needs sharing before it is disappeared. I’m fairly on top of what they’ve been doing to us, and this one speech is the acme of a pure indictment of all of the major perps. Names are named.
Thanks, will do. I have seen him speak a few times, and lots of interviews.
Agree, Dave. That is 30 minutes of Pure Truth-telling.
It ties all the loose ends together.
The Chinese lab connection,
key individuals and orgs,
the history, build-up and ‘preparation,
Motive, new vaccine bio-technology,
the Spike protein,
Adverse impacts in 4 areas – heart, nerves, blood clots and Immune system
and the “new variant – new vaccine” cycle
planned for the world at the cost and
loss of a world we thought we knew.
It is a condensed version of what he has said many times.
IMO, he is limiting the boundaries of the discussion on “Covid-19,” continuing with the idea of a “deadly” virus was released.
A virus with a 99.8+ survival rate (even with manipulated statistics), a lack of any test capable of testing for said never-isolated virus, and a program of lockstep tyranny that would make the tyrants throughout history salivate.
As usual, the freedom fighters are in disarray, as half of them say one thing and the other half another.
Just as the technocratic psychopaths would like.
This is the greatest fraud in human history, and even guys like McCullough are spreading bat-soup tin foil.
He did not say deadly virus but he did affirm that
1. There is such as thing as a corona virus which made people sick and
2 That he and his team successfully treated patients infected by a corona-virus.
Indeed “guys like McCullough” saved Lives as a Doctor and as a Speaker.
My point was not that it wasn’t deadly (which was another lie from the powers that be), but that it has never been shown to exist at this point.
I recall a bumper sticker from years ago reading….’Public Schools: why you and your children are stupid.’ Rather prophetic.
Spot on then, spot on now!
Private schools are not any better, though, unless not yet grabbed by the Wokies, which leaves what, Hillsdale College?
LOL.
prager U?
I think a lot of today’s “journalists” attended private schools, and they believed the propaganda about how badly educated the rest of us were, so they think it is their job to teach us what to think, as if we are illiterate peasants.
Yes, Hillsdale repudiates Feminism in absolute terms. Rush loved it!
malth, sadly, Prager U is on the ESG plan – probably has a nixe big ol’ DEI department…
I love Hillsdale.
I am taking a few free courses. Great stuff there.
Once again, I mostly agree with you about voting procedures, but I still think there should be early voting available at City Hall two weeks before Election Day, because you don’t have the detrimental chain-of-custody issues with those ballots that you do with mail-in voting.
Anything but voting in person on the day is subject to tampering.
If you can’t be bothered to show up to vote, then IMO you shouldn’t be voting.
Yes, give people the day off. People who need help getting to the polls should be helped – if they arrange for pick up ahead of time. But encourage the able bodied to help each other if possible.
After a four-year absence from the local election officials work, I reapplied to work the 2024 elections, which would include the November presidential election. I was informed that we’d have NINE days to vote per election in 2024, and that the process has been streamlined. One thing is that as ballots come in, the envelopes will be OPENED by election workers, the ballots removed from the envelopes, the numbered tabs torn off the ballots, and the ballots returned to the envelopes. I almost laughed in total disbelief! Secure, anyone?? I didn’t catch exactly when all these pre-opened ballots would be tabulated. When I was working the absentee voter counting board before, the ballots came up to the counters (who were sequestered) in tubs arranged by precinct, still in their unopened envelopes. We’d then go through them by precinct and tabulate them. We wouldn’t be released until all were done, which often went into the wee hours.
Sounds beyond nuts now.
Very interesting information, thank you.
You’re welcome, Paula 🙂
smh again.
Thanks for the Dr. McCullough video, convincing and educational. His comments regarding the (relatively) recent rush into TransGender and autism realm was excellent.
Can you get him on one of your podcast interviews?
Thanks Jim….
“But the party will be so badly damaged by then that it will have no other option except to let Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in to drive out the remaining demons and save the venerable old org from suicide.
If you think that these various momentous happenings won’t affect the financial markets and the banking system in the coming season, prepare to be amazed. This is how America truly gets to feel the pain, and this might be how the pitchforks finally come out for the people who wrecked our country.”
There are some of us, I don’t know how many, that have had enough.
Enough of the bullshit.
Enough of YOUR bullshit.
Enough of OUR bullshit.
Enough of EVERY politician’s bullshit, including your current darling, RFK.
And yes, enough of Trump’s bullshit, Biden’s bullshit, and ALL the other POLITICIAN GRIFTERS PAR EXCELLANT who ply their trade like whores on K street.
And certainly enough of the Zionist Criminal Oligarchy’s bullshit that has RULED this joint since at least 1913, with an exclamation point added on November 22, 1963.
Enough is Enough.
Enough of the bullshit, please.
Just tell it like it is.
Our throats will be slit before we ever get out from under the jackboots of these criminals.
And the only question is, will they get away with it ?
And the answer ?
YES, they will.
You see ?
NO MORE BULLSHIT.
Amen.
Speaking of “hurricane surf” the rapid and efficient way the Red States Florida and Georgia responded to Hurricane Idalia is a stark contrast to the Blue State of Hawaii’s response to the Maui fires.
I know, right?
Georgia a Red state?
Hmmm.
Georgia is a BLACK state.
6 million whites. 3 million blacks.
Mr. James is coming across as a wild-eyed optimist. Awhile back the prediction was that Biden would be gone by the 4th of July. Then, more recently, the goal posts were moved to Halloween. We wait with bated breath.

Jesus, I swear, I hate delivering these error notices especially concerning our host’s blog essays but……..
unless there is something I’m not reading correctly I detect two instances of missing words in sentences. The words in brackets are my suggestion as to what’s missing.
1. in the second paragraph “as is the rest of [the Biden] family’s bribery operations”
2. in the third paragraph “and CNN would [be] able to ignore”
I’m heading out now for a physical therapy session and I’ll be back in a couple of hours to see if I’ve been banned.

Your post is full of basic errors as usual, Q.
Yes, Q is clueless as to the correct usage (and non-usage) of commas, among other issues.
I once attempted to edit someone’s book of short stories. He had a similar unfamiliarity with what constitutes a comma’s inclusion or exclusion, and where to exactly place them. I saw, very early on, that the work involved would outrun the compensation I was getting, so I sent back his creative efforts.
Q’s gripes are just another example of churlish behaviour. JHK pumps out two weekly essays, proofed at least adequately. And that’s good enough. This isn’t part of a trade book or academic essay in a poli-sci journal.
@ Soul Forensics:
I once got roped into editing a self-published book by a man who had no idea about grammar, punctuation, or much of anything else. It turned into a nightmare. He wanted to make constant revisions, plus my perfectionist tendencies drove me to make some embellishments. He loved the embellishments–which, as best I can remember, were some well chosen fonts–and wanted more of them.
Anyway, the same guy asked me to edit his second book, and I declined.
Be happy you don’t have to edit articles and other English-lang. works from non-native speakers–particularly in Germany, where every change requires a long-winded explanation or is potentially subject to review from a German-born English “professor.”
😀
Gawd, I edited a book once for a physician whose prose read like a hastily dictated H&P. I’d rather do piecework on an assembly line.
Copy-editing is a type of work you do because you sort of marginally prefer it over ditch-digging.
N.O.
I just edit occasionally as a freelancer, so it’s no big deal. I wouldn’t have even taken him on in the first place if he wasn’t already an acquaintance. But, yeah, the kinda stuff you’re talking about sounds incredibly tedious.
Anthea,
I hope you’re not working for content mills. Those sites treat the creators/editors like the office equivalents of Chinese production line slaves.
Yeah, Soul. I had that with a friend who was doing a doctoral thesis here in DE.
Unfortunately, by the time I realized what I had gotten myself into, it was too late and I had to finish the job.
Did it for free, too.
Never again.
@ Soul Forensics:
I haven’t done copy-editing work in years. The nightmare job I mentioned actually involved both copy-editing and typesetting (on computer).
Q. Shtik should go to work as a copy-editor for a year or so. That drills that stuff into you–almost permanently. (I think I’ve forgotten a thing or two over the years.) Once you’ve done copy-editing, you will never again be able to read a book without every little goof-up jumping out at you. You are scarred for life.
I’ve also done typesetting using the old photo-typesetting machines (the Compugraphic II, in my case), as well as paste-up. You changed font sizes on the Compugraphic by opening up the machine and changing the lens. The screen was about 2 1/2 inches wide, so you could never see more than about three words of your work at a time. When you got done, you took the film out of the machine, and the darkroom guy took it back to the darkroom to develop. Then you pasted up the galleys on graph paper, using a light table and a hot wax roller.
Back in the 70s, before photo-typesetting, typesetters were big, burly guys who were able to cart around cases of lead type. They often worked late into the night and then went out to carouse around the titty bars.
Better be careful about pointing out problems with the text or the website. I got my head bit off by doing just that a while back.
Just let it go. The reader can usually fill it in.
Excellent summary as usual. Thank you.
I am astounded. That was the most concise delivery on the nexus of unfurling tragedies I’ve ever heard.
Happening, happenings…crazy days indeed.
The Democrats perch at the apex of political power in the US, they have never been in this position before. Big money, media, courts, and technology are arrayed to serve them. How did they get here?
The globalists simply switched horses after they rode roughshod across the Middle East in full neo conservative glory. Bush/Cheney sucked the soul out of the Republican Party leaving a dried husk for the RINOs to play with.
The Republicans were useful for wrecking nations internationally. But to get the job done domestically, the Big Club needed the Democrats. Who better than the hippie, yuppie, self righteous, hateful, morally devoid, gender confused, ever offended and victimized liberal left?
Enter Obama, darling of the left, and harbinger of doom for the last, best hope for humanity. He set the stage alright. A cold, clean, smooth technician who installed apparatchiks at key posts across land and courts. His last act was to hand the axe to Hillary to deliver the coup de grace and usher in a good old fashioned Jacobite reign of terror to mop up the opposition.
Enter Trump, the scourge of the left, an anti-woke orangutan casting wrenches and mean tweets into the machine. Generally grinding the gears to a halt and riling up the herd. The Blob in turn went ape and summoned all available hell energy to expel the man.
One of the great mysteries of this psychodrama is why on earth team Obama installed “Joe Biden” to address Trump’s MAGA movement and lead the long march home. Clearly, he follows orders while Satan’s little helpers get things back on track. But the Biden program is the antithesis of value-add. The price of ceaseless lies, gaffes, stumbling, bumbling, pawing, petting, and grifting adds up.
The incompetence and depravity of the Biden Bunch is exposing some ugly truths about the Democrats the globalists who pay for the party of chaos. Old Joe might take another tumble over Labor Day and need to call a lid on his tenure in the Oval Office.
He takes orders from Obama and his team, that’s why. They established their relationship – why change a good thing (for them)?
Obama is just a messenger boy-the real PTB are anonymous.
He’s a local king who takes orders from the Emperor.
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to eff things up. That’s why.
@ bobfitz03
Great post.
We haven’t seen anything yet. Wait to see white armored vehicles with UN on all four sides all over the place, everywhere you look, to the tune of ~ 400,000 of them spread out across our land, from sea to shining sea. Blue helmet marching around kicking doors in demanding your papers and vaccine passports. You laugh, but it’s coming. The vehicles are already here, and the soldiers keep pouring across our southern border. The end game is upon us. Be prepared.
Lest we forget, the damages done by the “vaccines” are not limited to the physical effects on the body, one must take into account the psychological effects as well.
Millions of new prescriptions for Adderall were issued to combat the “side effect” of “Brain Fog”, (an as yet, clinically undefined term).
That didn’t daunt our health care “Experts” one whit. The prescriptions were pumped out faster than hundred Dollar bills at the Dallas Fed.
Over three years, I watched a very close friend descend into the darkness of Adderall insanity (“Madderall”).
Trust me, the Oxycontin crisis ain’t nothing compared to what’s coming “down the Pike” on this shit. Unfortunately for my friend, the supply of Adderall was suddenly interrupted, ergo, “Cold Turkey”. The “street price” went to $10, $20, $30 a Tab.
If you love anyone who got sucked into that lie, keep a very close watch on ’em.
I’d suggest to that our “elected representatives” that the HIPPA guarantees of privacy, do not apply to anyone who thinks that killing a bunch of little kids (or other certifiable acts of Lunacy) is the right thing to do.
I want to see prescription histories and the names of those prescribing. (and who in Government took the campaign bribe).
Like I said, the Oxy epidemic, will “be as nothing”.
Very true. The pot-induced schizophrenia epidemic is barely being mentioned, but is looming on the horizon, as well. I think that the oxy/heroin/fentanyl has been a huge success for the elites. It has killed millions of white middle-Americans across huge swaths of Kentucky, West Virginia, rural Ohio, rural Pennsylvania, etc. and cleared out entire towns for third-world peasants, the new American people, to be moved into. At the same time, it has made the Sacklers and people like them, fabulously wealthy. If you don’t like the results of an election, elect a new people.
Schizophrenia is also a result of MKUltra programming.
And there are plenty of them out there.
At this juncture, having learned all I have in the past 20 years, I have to wonder if schizophrenia would even exist without extreme mental and physical (including sexual) abuse of the individual, and/or having suffered through the CIA’s (or their minions) programs.
Again: Ted Bundy, Unibomber, etc. etc.
Watch Britney Spears some time, just take a look at her Instagram. She’s another one.
They’re not all programmed to kill. Some are programmed to perform.
MaryQueen, In 1967, I was 12. One day some shiny black shoes in suits, showed up at my homeroom, my teacher called my name and asked me forward. I was told to go with the two guys to the principals office, they had something to ask me.
They explained that they were from the government and were forming a small group of kids to enter an “accelerated learning” class. I participated for one year and dropped out. They wanted Physicists, Mathematicians and others with useful weapon making intuitions.
That, was MKUltra at the civilian level.
Wow! You were almost MKULtraed.
How far did they get with you?
Obviously, you didn’t buy in, so you’re probably OK.
Imagine how wide-spread this must have been (still be).
One day in fourth grade, Scott (3 days older than I), Sue (3 days younger than I), and I were taken from our classrooms, out into the hallway, by some people we’d never seen before, and made to play Twister.
We had briefly been a team – the Cuckoo Birds – in first grade, but had drifted apart.
Makes me wonder what I don’t remember about elementary school…
I experienced something analogous as a sophmore in Descriptive Linguistics at the University of Texas.
A tentative appraisal by someone who had to have been a spook, perhaps looking at my language skills – an approach which the British refer to as “a hand on the knee”. I was polite and noncommittal, mostly because I suspected I would have to be dealing with permanently-embedded fuckups, and also because of my sexual predilection, which wouldn’t matter these days, apparently.
My wariness paid off, when serpents like Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen were eventually busted, after getting lots of cooperative Russians nabbed and killed. Serious drinking problems, blowing money like there was no tomorrow – money the agency could clearly ascertain was not from the family or business gains. Yet these traitors carried on far too long. Hanssen even said, as he was busted at a dead drop “How come it took you so long to get me?”
The only saving grace was that the other side was worse: the KGB proved riotously incompetent, time and again, outed, exposed, bumbling and fumbling their overseas assignments.
In retrospect, the only intelligence organizations worth their salt – or the budget they are allotted – seem to be the French and the Israelis. For what it’s worth.
@ MaryQueen:
That’s an interesting theory. I’ve only known one person who was actually diagnosed with schizophrenia. We were good friends–though I haven’t heard from him in years. He absolutely fits the profile of someone who had been subjected to MKUltra programming. He came from a very wealthy, very troubled family. His mother suffered from recurrent bouts of severe mental illness (though she was okay most of the time). Although he could not remember much of anything that happened before the age of 18, what he did remember suggested some kind of abuse. The reason he couldn’t remember anything was because he had nine months of shock treatments when he was in a mental institution at the age of 18.
He was about 20 when I met him in college. He was delightful, empathetic, and insightful person–in some ways one of the finest people I’ve ever known. (He was also gay.) Everyone loved him.
The reason I never hear from him is that he’s spent the past twenty years or so wandering around India and Eurasia without a laptop. The last I heard, he was afraid that “someone was after him.” He was also warning me, about ten years ago, that very dire things (unspecified) were coming.
I’ve long suspected that he was an MKUtra child–probably a discard, because he just wasn’t going to “work out” some way or other. So the decision was made to erase his memory.
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing that story. I have read a LOT of them that are so similar they might be the same one.
It sort of reminds me of addiction. After watching that series “Intervention,” it appeared that 99.9% of the addicts all had major trauma of some sort in early childhood.
It’s of course a common denominator that no one likes to look at. Much like it’s basically ignored that as the number of teen killers rise, there is the common denominator of SSRIs, marijuana, horror flicks, and video games.
Then the yahoos come out shouting that it’s because of GUNS!! Which have always been around for the past few centuries.
“…pot-induced schizophrenia epidemic…”
Yeah, if you redefine “schizophrenia” and “epidemic”, and well, “pot-induced”…
What I see is overlap between an overabundance of schizophrenia diagnoses, and an overabundance of stoners, but no pharmacological connection.
It’s massively over-diagnosed in the United States as compared to Britain. Low level people get into drugs and criminality, ending up in institutions. Low IQ people are easily confused and get more confused when they do drugs. Then they learn “learned helplessness” and the diagnosis becomes part of their shaky self identity.
Recently a paper was published that proved that SSRIs do nothing to help depression.
They sure are found in a lot (most) of mass shooters’ bloodstreams, though.
Agree completely.
Let’s review what the minds of especially the younger generations are constantly subjected to:
available violent porn
available violent video games (they are designed to be addictive and hard to quit)
available violent/horror/gory movies
available and over-prescribed pharmaceuticals (esp. SSRIs, which in a recent study have shown not to help depression – at all)
constant peer-pressure into the trans agenda
teachers indoctrinating students into queer theory & trans
parents throwing their kids under the bus for social credit
isolation and forced screen learning during covid19
available alcohol, pot (not your grammaw’s pot), hallucinagens, etc.
and the big one:
constant fearmongering from all gov’t controlled media 24/7 for years on end
Forgot the grotesque “music” they listen to…
How about copious amounts of chemical-laden empty calorie junk masquerading as food and drink?
We don’t have whole milk or apples, but try this Sunny D with a bag of Fritos.
Yes! That, too.
Just the copious amounts of refined sugar is enough on its own to make people crazy and sick.
like what?
LIL PEEP? hes dead…lotsa listens at utube.
cardi b? WAP? Anaconda?
check that shit out sista.
I should have said “noise” because I don’t consider it music.
What they have done with manipulated sound frequencies, the repetitive rhythm patterns, combined with the visuals, it’s all too much to ponder, but is far from a stretch of the imagination to conclude it is one of their major go-to psy-ops. Not only are we chumps naturally, we are drawn to the hypnotic. Moth-like.
“It can’t happen here” is reinforced by the always present notional fear of being named as conspiracy wackos, with the drummed into our heads messaging that it is always best to “move along with the herd and you’ll be just fine.”
Boiled down, it’s the primal fear of being too far away from the fire, out in the range of the growling and the glowing eyes in the dark.
And I can’t think off the top of my head any nation’s military-psychological warfare units not incorporating and having capitalized on this all-important aspect of dominating an enemy with fear, even if only a civilian’s the fear of rejection, the dreaded ‘othering.’
On one hand it’s as old as the hills, but with the tech and subtle methods now available… So many Faucis and Daszaks, Barics and Christian Andersons, too many of themas leaders guided by the experiments done by Mengele & Co, and the Japanese Army Unit 731. Capturing their records was of the highest priority—and not for use in war crimes trials. “It’s the Science,” I tell you.
It’s only when you dig—with a strong stomach—that you find it’s a ghoulish trait inherent to all cultures and races, that ‘enemies’ both foreign and domestic, are treated equally when the rationales of victory or knowledge gained compel these fellow humans to commit their unspeakable atrocities.
God help us, for apparently they have concluded there. is insufficient knowledge about what goes on during world wars.
I listen to Alpha waves music with supposed calming frequencies. Do you know anything about that? Seems to make my dogs super relaxed. Might do for me, too. Hard to tell, as I am mostly relaxed anyway.
“Forgot the grotesque “music” they listen to…”
I wish I could! And ear plugs filter out everything but that crap!
White trash up here luv dem dat ghetto garbage. Ain’t much but white trash up this way.
Do you get a visceral reaction when you hear it?
Here’s me in Albertson’s, when that shite gets piped in over the intercom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gytrxCAFB9A
At the sound of autotune or just one cycle of a Millennial Whoop, I start spoiling for a fight.
A visceral reaction? I damn near spontaneously combust.
But so far, my worst reaction was to some “house music” trash. Even without any words it was so annoying it made me angrier by the minute – and that shit goes on forever. I was about to attempt to politely ask that someone change the channel, when one of my co-workers beat me to it. “Could you please shut that shit off?”, he asked, quite politely.
Autotune: the fetishization of fake.
I know I shouldn’t ask, but what’s the “millennial whoop”?
BB, I’m guessing the Millenial Whoop is “TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN!”
A vaccine regimen that would make pinhead blush.
Edit: “to our elected representatives” not “to that”. -Peace, BB
badberries – love the edit call out. I employ two thumb typing between emails and coffee with a splash of dyslexia for good measure. I’m usually good for a typo per post much to my chagrin. Jim mercifully provides spell check.
Hi Bobf, I’m a “hunt and peck” typist, but I try to proofread before post.
“with a splash of dyslexia” love it, my excuse is that I have a little bit of “dain bramage”. Have a good eekwend. BB
Quote of the week:
“The Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country.”
–Nikki Haley
She has tom’s vote!
Maybe she convinced tom to run for the Senate?
tom’s got my vote!
Loved the article until this line: “But the party will be so badly damaged by then that it will have no other option except to let Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in to drive out the remaining demons and save the venerable old org from suicide.”
RFK, Jr. is one of the elites, he just appointed the CEO of American Zionists as an advisor. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Are zionists suddenly OK? Maybe they seem tame compared to, say, transhumanists? Surprise – they are a huge part of the cabal behind it.
Venerable Org? I do not see how the Democrats have ever been “venerable.” We were just bamboozled into thinking they were, with programming and propaganda from birth. They have always been authoritarians who used cultural distractions to get people on board. They started the KKK, FFS.
Yeah and now they’re against Whites. Content matters, Mary.
But a fine post otherwise. Ted Kennedy worked tirelessly on behalf of the Zionists to open our borders. He was their front man while they worked behind the scenes. RFK is simply reviving those old connections.
Maybe they’re a different faction from those currently in power? After all, Obama never pretended to care for Israel. But for us, you know, Whites?, it will all be much the same.
You don’t understand Color Revolution, and buy right into its tactics.
I guess this is what happens when you cloister yourself off from the real world.
You still think that everyone should be able to go anywhere and do anything.
So much for nations and borders. You’re a globalist and don’t even know it.
You’re on their side, just like Night Owl is, fundamentally. But you two just want it to be good. But it can’t be good because it’s opposed to both Nature and human nature.
I am not interested in white supremacy or cat herders.
I kindly ask that you leave me out of your squabbles.
I’m not interested in either of your meltdowns or squabbles.
Yet here you are commenting.
Meow!
Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Rommey, Hillary Clinton….they all are so deranged that they speak matter-of-factly and openly about what a good investment it is for the US to supply weapons to Ukraine, and let them die while “we” profit.
They don’t seem to realize that decent moral people are appalled by these callous and blood-thirsty admissions.
What was the name of the pundit who gushed about how wonderful the war in Ukraine was for everyone? And then as an aside, remarked “except for Ukrainians”.
Caity Johnstone just wrote an excellent article about these people – showing short glimpses into their humanity as they lose their minds to the truthiness and confusion that senility brings:
https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2023/08/31/mitch-mcconnells-brief-flash-of-humanity/
Good article.
They are saying it was merely dehydration. That’s the go-to excuse for everything.

She has a knack for word, like JHK does.
“Capitol Hill is where warmongers and principles go to die. It’s an assisted living facility for psychopaths ?—? a nursing home where people who receive sexual gratification from dropping military explosives on foreigners go to wait for their decomposition. The whole place smells like night terrors and urine.”
Yes, she does. I loved that paragraph, too.
Tell us more about Dylan Roof and how the Black women were just collaterals, Paula.
Tell us more about how women should be raped and murdered, Jarek.
Paula said that Dylan Roof’s victims were just collaterals. Do you no memory whatsoever?
And yet a comment such as that from Paula doesn’t exist, whereas I can produce your quote waxing rhapsodic about the rape and murder of women.
Go figure!
As Night Owl said, you have no morality.
Your first mistake there, Jar, is imagining that I care what you or Night Owl think.
Two idiots arguing.
Get the Edge Lord in here proto.
I need a real laugh.
“Leave me out of your squabbles”
Immediately enters the fray.
Hahahahaha!
“Even Americans who have no particular interest in freedom and independence in democracies worldwide, should be satisfied that we’re getting our money’s worth on our Ukraine investment.” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal
Can someone please make sense of this?
I am sincere when I say I have no idea where to begin with this.
Why would they be satisfied? How is this conclusion made? How is the first clause even made, let alone the conclusion?
Not surprising that this word-jam comes from the lips of the politician who forgot that he never served in Vietnam, and is still in office.
I tried to explain it in my comment at the top of the page. Blumenthal stated the truth about his masters. It just slipped out—like a fart with a lump in it.
That is a very bold take, but alas it is the only one that even makes the slightest bit of sense.
He is acknowleding the preponderence of people behind this war are not in it for anything more than a return on investment. For $.
And (it is a very big “and”)
these same people could not care less about democracy and freedom! I am so accustomed to politicians veiling their tue thought and motives that I tried to view it throuhj that lens. Nope! He siad the truth. This country has totally jumped the shark.
“Our” money’s worth, lol. He said that as if he was addressing a closed meeting of the .01%.
For one thing, it shows that Blumenthal has no idea of what Americans – other than the privileged minority such as himself – think.
He assumes – this is how they do – that we all just automatically think the way that they do, because… why wouldn’t we? It’s a peculiar conceit among the rich and powerful.
He sounds most like a flack for an investment bank. He can’t read the room . . . or maybe we forget that we are not considered as part of the room.
Those psychos don’t even have to read the room any more.
Nor do they have to be clever.
That’s how low the bar’s become.
Earlier this week, the out-to-lunch border authorities have reported at least 7,000 known entries on one day alone.
The lastest estimates place the Mayorkas orchestrated invasion in the vicinity of 10 million people. 10 Million people.
Depending on where one lives, you would have to be blind to have not noticed. Every city and small town in America is experiencing the effects of the open borders. This is only the first ripple.
Many here believe that we are headed to a third-world or failed-status. I don’t remember them predicting that the third-world and failed-state would be simultaneously invading.
Teach your grandchildren to learn Spanish and when and how to bribe. Juego Terminado
Rulo is well pleased. Whites need to compete with desperate coolies. It will be good for them!
Coolies who will be put over them by the powers that be. A real laugh riot….
Each one of those new “immigrants” should be notified that they are now “on the hook” for their share of the National Debt. Currently around $97,000 each man, woman, uncertains and child. Oh yeah, that’s $97,000 + interest accruing every day.
Way up here – just a sidewinder missile shot from Canada – No habla ingles on many construction sites. Illegal tent towns in the national forest.
Way up here, where the median income hovers around $30K, and ~14% of the population are below the poverty line.
Mostly big businesses. Locals still hire locals – when they can.
HECKLER,
OT,but it the just announced the IDs of the three Marines killed in that Osprey crash.
One of them was a woman. A captain.
The Osprey appears to be kind of a piece of shit that crashes a lot. Once is too often.
Was the woman piloting the craft.??? MAYBE?
[kara hultgren 2
At least a dozen Osprey aircraft have crashed since the program’s inception. It seems like a death machine, like those stubby racing aircraft with wasp engines in the 1930s.
The Gee Bees
httpx://planesoffame.org/aircraft/plane-R-1
The Navy and Marines didn’t want it. It was shoved up their hangers by Congress.
If I remember correctly, it was one of the first big ticket military items, the manufacturing of which was parceled out among a wide range of districts.
The Osprey was pure shit right from the start. It’s only selling point is based on the Pentagon’s obsession with VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) capability, which is so full of compromises it might never be practical, at least with current propulsion technologies. Anti-gravity? Maybe. But that’s nowhere on the horizon yet.
Diss,
Over 600,000 hours of flight time…and counting.

Wow. I just listened to the Dr. McCullough speech.
He has got to be the most courageous person in the USA.
Names names responsible for the SARS 2 virus, then moves on to autism and transgenderism.
All of those are third rail topics, and he takes them on, in his brave and well-informed way.
Props to McCullough. Guess he makes up for Samantha Power and Joe Biden, as representatives of the Irish in America.
Yesss. It is the keynote speech for this entire blight on humanity. As with others on here I have heard him speak in conversation many times over the past several years, but he friggin’ nailed it for synopsis. He covered every (known to him) base. And I cannot imagine anyone doing it better.
I also previously mentioned how amazed I am that Google Toob left it up.
Jimmy Dore ought to be on this pronto, as in today. Early. Fridays’ shows are several hours early (as a new rule.) That will largely determine imo if Eeew-T will leave it up or if we’ll have to hunt for it to share it. And this one MUST be shared.
Trump says he’s open to picking [WEF puppet] Vivek Ramaswamy as his VP:
“I can’t get upset with him but he’s a smart guy. He’s a young guy. He’s got a lot of talent. He’s a very intelligent person. He’s got good energy… I think he’d be very good.”
Because of course he is.
LOL.
I found this which kind of explains the Vivek types:
“I went to law school with people whose major plan was to run for office. “Gunners” was the term. Anyone who has been in these circles not surprised. Same as how young Bill Clinton is in picture shaking JFK’s hand. Young men start planning this stuff in their teenage years.”

Somebody said that Trump is okay with population replacement he just wants it to be with Indians.
I am of the opinion that Gunners would be the people that at some stage are highly groomed by the PTB and then waved through the election process ’til they get him/her where they want them.
the Mayorkas orchestrated invasion in the vicinity of 10 million people.
/ and they breed like rats in ‘affordable’ housing and get benes for doing so.
If the public number is 10 million, the real number is north of 100 million.

“Losing income is the No. 1 reason Californians end up homeless — and the vast majority of them say a subsidy of as little as $300 a month could have kept them off the streets.
That’s according to a new study out of UC San Francisco that provides the most comprehensive look yet at California’s homeless crisis.
In the six months prior to becoming homeless, the Californians surveyed were making a median income of just $960 a month. The median rent for a two-bedroom apartment in California is nearly three times that, according to Zillow. And though survey participants listed a myriad of reasons why they lost their homes, more people cited a loss of, or reduction in, income than anything else.”

Well, duh.
It blows my mind that so many people buy into the fancy 1% bullshit explanations for homelessness, while the talking heads on TV gush over rising housing prices as something wonderful. Of course you will have people priced out of housing, when housing prices and rents rise. This started in the 80s, and has been going on for 40 years, and still people act baffled about the cause.
Insanity.
Agree, it’s ridiculous. Basic math.
Salaries don’t keep up with housing prices.
Well, Duh indeed.
What about addiction & alcoholism, Beryl? Looking at street video taken in Philly, LA & SF … those people living under tarps and passed out on sidewalks don’t seem to be in any condition to take care of a house, pay the bills, hold down a job etc.
Also, mental issues. 40 years ago, those with mental decline or disease, at least in Canada, would’ve been housed in mental institutions, or at least halfway houses or other social communities that could tend to them. Now, because of gov’t cutbacks, they’re just released onto the streets.
Which came first, the homelessness, or the addiction and alcoholism?
I’d raise my hand here, but it seems most people don’t want to know the answer.
It’s so much easier to blame the victims.
There were no drug addicts or alcoholics before the 80s, you see. And there is no such thing as people who hold down jobs but tipple off-hours.
And then, in 2001 and 2008, all of a sudden, people again became too drug addicted to stay in their houses.
It has nothing at all to do with mass layoffs. Or Blackrock buying up houses and raising rents. Or cities closing down trailer parks and single-room-only apartment buildings.
Nothing at all. It’s all the fault of the individuals who can’t afford to pay the rent.
Exactly.
I was a victim of the 2008 crash. It caused me years of grief.
If I hadn’t had a support structure and great experience work-wise, or had kids to take care of – wow, I can’t even imagine.
It’s no wonder people turned to drugs. At least selling them probably paid the rent.
And this is also why people resort to trafficking and prostitution, while we’re on the subject.
That is my answer too.
I am so tired of the ills of our failed state, as well as the ills of those who have nothing, blamed completely on those who have already been stomped into the dirt.
The class warfare instituted by our masters is working: the poor beat up on the poorer, in order to identify (probably mostly subconsciously) with the rich.
@ Paula D:
I remember the single-room apartment buildings. They had a stove, fridge and Murphy bed, and the bathroom was down the hall.
That was where you lived if you were a young person who had moved to the big city to find work, or if you were an old person with no income but Social Security. People who lived in such places for any length of time usually formed friendships and provided each other with a support structure. It was a good setup for the old people, too. There were chairs, couches, and a TV in the lobby, so that the old people could gather to watch TV. Presumably they got to be friends, or at least had some social interaction.
Bullshit. More talking points. I live in SD and the reason for homelessness is DRUGS. They are addicts. There are plenty of services and I believe the “affordable housing” narrative is complete and total BS.
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and we are seeing practically an explosion of homelessness. It can’t be all drugs, can it?, and looks to be at least more socioeconomic and social-decline/collapse-related. Maybe drugs are in there to help cope with their situation, At the same time, it is possible that society is deliberately being flooded with drugs.

” ‘I am a former Los Angeles Police narcotics detective. I worked South Central Los Angeles and I can tell you, Director Deutch, emphatically and without equivocation, that the [Central Intelligence] Agency has dealt drugs in this country for a long time.’ (He then referred Deutch to three specific CIA agency operations known as Amadeus, Pegasus and Watchtower… Ruppert… [said] that in his experience as an LAPD narcotics officer, he has seen evidence of CIA complicity in drug dealing for a long time.).” ~ Michael Ruppert, documentary film, ‘Collapse’
@ The Man They Call Zazelle:
“It can’t all be drugs, can it?”
Well, if you think about it, it seems likely that most people who were just down on their luck due to job loss or eviction would be taken in by relatives, or even friends in some cases.
The fact that most of the homeless are unable to even couch surf tells you something. I’ve “sort of” known three people who were homeless, at least for awhile. One was severe alcoholic, one suffered from undiagnosed lifelong cerebral palsy, and one was a druggie with at least one conviction for child-molesting. In the case of the last one, my impression was that he was not allowed in his parents’ home, due to the restraining order. The first two were able to get housing and go on disability. I think the third one went back to jail. The guy with cerebral palsy was taken in by a local woman, who got him to a doctor and helped him get on disability.
The woman who was the severe alcoholic was gifted a vacant lot in a rural township. She lived quite happily there in a camper-trailer for many years and was finally taken in by a daughter when she was dying of cancer.
I also met one formerly homeless young woman, back when I was doing the farmers’ market. She had gotten a job and an apartment and moved out of the homless shelter. She was intelligent, hard-working, and a pretty young thing. I didn’t ask her how she got in such fix, but I guess it could happen to anyone.
My point, though, is that a pretty large percentage of the homeless are people whom no one will take in, even as couch-surfers.
I have taken in homeless friends and relatives. The situation usually lasted only a couple of months, at most.
It’s one thing to tolerate people as visitors, but when they move it, you find out that they do everything differently than you do.
Their kids keep yours awake, or fight with them. They eat more than you thought possible, and your food bill goes up. The bathroom is more in demand, and that leads to uncomfortable situations.
After a while, I asked each of them to leave. No alcohol or drug abuse by any of them.
One lived in her brother’s van for a while, but the rest moved in with other relatives, or out of town.
When they move in. Should have proofread better.
A friend has a saying: “Poor people have poor ways.”
Hi Anthea, I get that, but we can’t discount socioeconomic upheaval either.
It seems it’s rarely a case of ‘It’s just the homeless’ fault.’, especially now.
Also, as I mentioned elsewheren in these threads, there may be some sort(s) of subcultural war(s) going on as well right under our noses, such as between some of the homeless (perhaps they are homeless by choice and it is a kind of protest) and the State.
Don’t forget the defund police thing, Wokeism, which, sometimes, ironically perhaps, can be anti-state, BLM and so on.
Consider also cost-of-living increases, like for all of us, as well as increasing job insecurity, general life stress, increasingly-poor future outlooks, and so forth.
Systemic nuance.
…Oh and of course what we here take for granted in covid dynamics as well as the State spreading of general FUD.
The States must refuse all federal funding. That’s the pick. I haven’t heard it much discussed anywhere.
Despite what 50-60% of the commentariat think here, I believe JHK now has a pretty firm grip on what the Zeitgeist holds in the immediate future – “…the pitchforks finally come out for the people who wrecked the country.”
Everyone now knows (at some level) that we are experiencing the most profound cultural, economic, political crisis of our lifetimes.
All of the elites, of all political persuasions, are in the processes of going all in–taken the stakes
Our general population, of all political persuasions, are also in the process of realizing that they must go all in–taken the stakes.
JHK has painted one scenario for how this might all work out.
As we collectively enter this hell-scape together, let’s keep in mind that we are all broken in some way–each of us, as well as our friends and our enemies.
Get ready.
Sympathy for the devil?
Know thy enemy.
One process few people seem to be discussing (?whistling by the graveyard) is what happened at the recent BRICS+ meeting in S. Africa. The major event was the unanimous agreement of US$ rejection. This has been misunderstood, or obfuscated, by most of the propaganda ‘financial’ corporate press. The meeting did not announce a gold BRICS currency, as many expected, but they did announce that all trade will be done exclusively with native currencies of BRICS+ members (i.e. NO MORE US$s). Also, the African Union was allowed into the BRICS+ membership; think no more strategic metals for non BRICS+ countries, or very very high prices as they will have to be bought with the Yuan at parity with the US$. It sure is a good thing that the US Corporation doesn’t have to import anything from others!!!!! Sarcasm intended 🙂
A few people here were discussing it this week and last. But yeah, in general, few people.
Most people don’t discuss the big important things, for obvious reasons.
MaryQueen, I was primarily referring to the general public and the television infotainment ‘news’ media, as well as doctors I sometimes interact with (as little as possible). Most of the people on this blog seem a tad brighter and more informed than the general public. Hope they are well prepared for what’s coming socio-economically.
That was inferred in my “obvious reasons.” I guess I wasn’t obvious enough – lol.
Yeah, the general public laps up CNN propaganda like video games and Mountain Dew. Gotta feed the dopamine addiction, eh?
My overall sense is BRICS still a ways to go and is not yet the main protagonist.
A pressing and more immediate issue is the fate of western Europe (Germany/EU) and the Euro.
If and when the Euro and EU crumble, BRICS will be off the worlds radar. In a heartbeat.
Right now, the BRICS+ system controls ~45% of world GDP; once all the countries that have applied are enjoined, that will be ~80% of world GDP. Stop listening to CNBC, CNN, Fox, etc; they’re trying to talk up the buying power of the us$ and down playing the power of the BRICS+. Wait until you can’t get antibiotics this winter because the Chinese, part of BRICS+, are putting an embargo on the USCORP. If smart, Get out of the US$!!!
Absolutely.
The US Deep State feeds on the ignorance of the people. That is why they spend so much of their effort making the public even more ignorant by indoctrinating the kids and pulling so many illegals into the country.
Watch the BRICS agenda develop. They will be trying to brain drain the US with positive incentives for ex pats. Russia, look it up, already is installing expat communities around Moscow.
The US is going where the PTB want it to go, right into the dark infested third world.
Like Neurodoc says, spend time exploring alternatives, especially young people, this place is going down
BRICS++ is in process of making the nails that they will drive into the US coffin. Protect yourselves.
At my last visit to my doctor (the GP), she said that if I had any issues requiring surgery, I should get them taken care of now. We talked a little about what might be on the horizon with medical care–or the future lack thereof–but there wasn’t enough time to go into a deep discussion. There are many, many issues.
I had a similar discussion with my daughter (the one who works in health care) a couple of weeks later–once again just scratching the surface as to the possible issues. I didn’t go much beyond mentioning that Medicare and Medicaid are grossly insolvent, and many hospitals are in financial trouble. With most people, when you start talking about medications and devices becoming unavailable–or serious social collapse–you’re getting into deep waters, where they cannot follow you, so it’s often best to keep your mouth shut.
@ John Az:
I’ve thought a lot about getting out of the US–which I consider a good idea. I’m thinking mainly in terms of family members who live in this immediate area. The trouble is–even apart from the ones who live on the east coast or the west coast or the far north–the family is just too darned big. There are too many people who would have to agree to relocate–and come up with the money. And there are some old folks, like myself, who might not be eligible. There are the married kids, whose spouses have siblings and older/aging parents. And of course every family has a couple of potheads or people who are otherwise so looney that no other country would accept them. I can’t see abandoning a whole bunch of family members.
Anthea:
Medical care is already being rationed based on what insurance you have. Once the insurance companies start failing (they are all heavily invested in Treasury Bonds which are literally worthless), the rationing will involve who has CASH (or gold/silver/crypto).
In the worse case scenario, the losses would be 50.to 70% Calm down.
neurodoc, do you, or anyone else, care to guess what year the US$ will trade at par with the yuan?
Armstrong is suggesting that the US$ will allow the US to retain the role of being the dominant economic empire up to about 2029.

@ neurodoc:
The reason my doctor got to talking about potential future problems in accessing medical care is that it is time for a government audit of her private practice. I think she said the last one was five years ago–at which time she experienced no problems. She didn’t say who will be doing the audit, so I’m not clear on the details of this.
What she did say was that if the audit went unfavorably, she could be put out of business. I don’t know the mechanism for this, whether the loss of her license or merely shutting off her practice from insurance payments. The reason for her concern is that she is a little heterodox. She does not vaccinate children (or anyone else)–doesn’t do vaccinations at all. She also prescribes Ivermectin when needed, and did so throughout the covid nonsense. (The pharmacy in town will fill a prescription for Ivermectin.) A young couple I know who took their newborn to her for a well-baby exam, at the age of two weeks. She advised them not to allow the baby to be vaccinated for covid, under any circumstances. She also provided the couple with references for researching vaccinations, to help them decide whether to vaccinate the baby.
She said that if she were to find herself unable to accept insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, she would simply go to all cash transactions.
Since this is in a relatively poor rural area, it might be a tight squeeze to stay in business, and a serious reduction in income for her, but I think she’d manage.
China holds just under a trillion in US debt
They’ll tread carefully.
They always do
Read the IMF reports of world trade; the chinese are selling us$ and buying more GOLD!!!!! Follow the money. Trillions of us$ are heading back to the uscorporation. Read about Weimar. Get ready for $50/lb steak and $15/dozen eggs, and more.
NDoc,
It would be prudent, then, to own the means of production.
Asians luv gold and have been buying for ages..indians chinese etc.
Down to about $835 billion as of June.
So much IOU’s so little buyers.
Good luck selling that
Right, think of the US treasury note, right now the backbone of international debt, as an IOU. The only thing stopping international bankruptcy is the fact that interest payments on the debt are being covered, so far. How? Think illicit trades and the border.
The book I read a couple of years ago stated that shutting down the border will tumble the house of cards that is the IMF. Scary, Trump builds the wall and the WEF and BRICS both collapse. Gee, I wonder if that is why the Liberals will do ANYTHING to stop him.
The PTB get away with this because there is not an appreciable drain on the debt by its creditors, ie us, US Treasury holders. Yet, but it is coming as Boomers start drawing on their savings, ie Rooted in US Treasuries.
One more, what is going on is a product of manipulation by the US Deep State and globalist finances for decades. The enormous Deep State debt is 33 trillion, but that is trivial compared to the personal US debt and the global debt.
Shut down the border, the human trafficking, the drugs, etc., and it may bring on the fiscal end as the IMF will not be able to cover its basic payments.
As the US is the peak of the finance pyramid, we will fall the furthest.
Hmmm.
You lost me, John. BRICS would fail if the US finished Trump’s wall on your southern border? Why?
If the liquidity financing the global debt interest payments, which the author stated was coming from illicit trades, was to disappear by closing the border, it all comes down.
Microeconimically speaking, think if a debt laden, interest only paying household were to lose its job.
The global boys are only as good as the US ability to support them. When we go down, so do they, WEF and BRICS included.
We are in this all together.
I don’t think so, John. BRICS is not another house of cards (fiat). BRICS is tangible-asset based. That is, BRICS is backed by gold (i.e. real money). A border wall between Texas and Mexico would not crash Brazil, China, Russia, India nor South Africa.
In fact, BRICS is being constructed for that very reason – to survive after the collapse of US$, IMF, et al.
***
Some say that Operation Sandman will collapse the US$ one day.
I have to agree with OG on this one.
BRICS+++ is the fallout shelter the rest of the world is headed for to escape the collapse of the kleptocratic economy of the U$.
Our lapdogs in the EU will be fleeing there too, once they have been sufficiently broken, and made to recognize their new master.
Move over little dog ’cause the big dog’s movin’ in
BRICS won’t save South Africa since the Blacks have already crashed it. And a Wall won’t save America. Trump wants them all here anyway – he said so.
BRICS is an alternative organization, meant to organize countries who see what is coming, into what we might call survival community.
The US is going down, we all know that, and people on here constantly tell each other to prepare for the collapse, and to learn to trade goods and such.
But when countries targeted by the US rulers organize themselves to trade and deal with each other, using alternative payment methods, somehow it’s suddenly a threat to us? For doing what we know we need to do?
Why identify with your owners? They are the ones who have gambled away all their chips, and are now trying to steal chips from other players, which include you.
The other players in BRICS have had enough.
Why haven’t you?
Well said, Paula.
Looks like Blackbird said pretty much the same thing, at about the same time.
Thanks for the recognition Paula (“brilliant minds…”, you know).
Although I still find it hard to comprehend how you can dislike Space Oddity, possibly the greatest song ever (possibly tied with Superman by Furious George…).
Oh well…
Food for thought, however.
This is a comment on a post about how Russian cities are now refusing cash on public transportation (watched the video – on Telegram):
“All roads lead to Davos, it being the storefront for global banking.
the BRICS countries want their ‘benefits’ from the banksters’ Agenda, too ~ especially China, providing the critical technology of control (& so cornering the materials markets). The ‘east/west’ divisions are obfuscation.”
IOW, no one is coming to save us, the GND, the Smart Cities, CBDC, etc. are going to roll out everywhere.
I cannot believe McCullough‘s video is still on YouTube. This is incredible.
Nothing unifies evil, greedy bastards like “an orgy of money.” Still, it is shocking that so many intentionally lined up to visit mass murder upon the population. These people are monsters.
Btw, I have members of my family that are FIVE shots into the program. Cancer, nerve damage, inflamed hearts, and blown immune systems are just coincidental of course. Sad.
The House of Medicine deserves to burn to the ground.
One can or rather must hope. They have certainly Ushered this upon themselves, or whichever term adequately describes their corporate conglomeration.

…or you best the Hell out of Dodge..
The House of Medicine, historically, is very very different from the current ‘House of Rockefeller ‘Foundation’ Health Care Systems.’ Very different, sad to say. The criminal Rockefeller group took over medicine years ago and eventually linked ‘medical’ practice inextricably to BIG hospital systems and BIG pharma. Now 80%+ of physicians, and their slave darlings, the nurse practitioners, are corporate employees; the remainder, like myself, are dinosaurs in private small group or solo practice (i.e. independent and not owned by anything and hated by corporate health care, especially after turning down buy out offers from the hospital systems).
Not everywhere. Here in Germany, naturopathic and other forms of “alternative” medicine are quite common.
I mentioned long ago that before we vaccinated our child, we were given a breakdown of the pros and cons and the risks. We did it, but he won’t get another.
The situation in the US is a different story.
I once wrote an article arguing for the inclusion of various evidence based German lidocaine injection strategies for neuropathies. It was initially rejected by a major US med journal stating that most German medicine was heavily confounded by “quackery” ( their term). They didn’t like our ‘failure’ to use big pharma injection kits (which use lidocaine!!!). This is the Rockefeller model in all its corrupt ‘glory.’
Ha!
Neurodoc
When I was going to nursing school, 1994 to 1997, the word was being taught that home care esp. nursing was coming on and tertiary care was going to brink its share of health care. Economically, it made sense.
Wha’ happened? Your assessment makes sense.
When I was in med school, early 80s, I recall hearing about John Deere Co buying up insurance cos, and then hospitals. This was the start of big biz buying healthcare and turning it from non profit to profit. Once big biz bought control of healthcare, then they bought control of doctors
and nurses (who used to run hospitals). Next MBA morons, knowing nothing about healthcare, were brought in to run hospitals and their clinics. Profit motive began to supersede medical ‘care.’The rest is history and horrific. Stay out of hospitals at all costs!!!!
I cannot believe McCullough‘s video is still on YouTube. This is incredible.
When something appears to good to be true, it probably is.
McCullough’s video is still on YT because we are swamped in trivial and irrelevant information. You don’t have to suppress something that almost no one is prepared to believe. Everyone is too busy pursuing and guzzling Soma.
I cannot disagree with that.
Also, as others mentioned, he is still pushing the existence of some sort of pandemic that never occurred.
People got poisoned by something – but the death rate was not the 4% required to call it a pandemic.
It was no higher than a regular flu season.
Is it possible he’s just positing that there was a pandemic for the purposes of even talking about what just got pulled on us?
Sure, it’s all still very helpful, IMHO.
He’s pointing out – in detail – that the health mafia pulled all this shit to make billions. And they set up a system to do it, and that system will expand to keep it going, and growing, in leaps and bounds.
Health is being “built in” to the sustainability stuff, so that they can make laws forcing all sorts of shit on us.
It wasn’t “others” who claimed there was no virus, it was one person doing his robotic maniacal repetitions, as he does on every thread, as autists are wont to do.
Have we ever had a thread which he did not spam with his ill-informed chants?
It takes a lot of damn gall to tell people who testify how sick they were, “You weren’t sick, you just had a cold. There is no such thing as the disease that wiped you out for a week. You just want attention.”.
But it is going to new narcissistic heights to claim that the foremost doctor in the country didn’t treat sick patients, because NIght Soil watched a video that convinced his feeble mind that there are no such things as viruses, or bioweapon research labs, or mad scientists working on gain-of-function pathogens. So he trashes Dr. McCullough, as if he were qualified in some manner to do so.
He is either an idiot or a NAFO troll.
Don’t be like Night Soil.
Yes, no one here actually knows what hit us – I have listened to the testimonies of qualified scientists, doctors and other professionals for 3 years. Even they can’t agree on everything.
But Night Owl knows all.
And look out if you disagree.
I go with Mike Yeadon’s theory, because it aligns with my own based on what I have observed and my experience with liars. Pattern recognition combined with lack of any concrete evidence that the virus exists.
You can’t even speak to me directly, and it is hilarious.
Tumbleweeds.
So easy.
The Russians have put out a powerful message to those poor Ukrainian boys press-ganged off the streets to be thrown on the frontlines.
Not the nazis lined up behind them, holding guns to their backs to force them into the kill zone, so as to gratify the likes of Romney and Graham and Larry Fink.
A lot of the press-ganged Ukies are actually ethnic Russians, which gives a special thrill to the western ghouls watching them suffer and die.

“… where the Swamp lies burbling and skreeking, unseen hands work overtime to falsify reality…”
Those who know the true and real history on this Planet know that this kind of mind-altering garbage on We the People has been going on for a very long time. It probably has been going on in some form ever since humans began to organize themselves into defined groupings. And the leaders of those groups need a narrative to hold the group together and to grab a solid hold on power over The People.
In other words, the Swamps may change… but they always remain Swamps. Always drowning We the People in a deluge of lies, propaganda, contrivances, and overwhelming horse manure. And being so proud of Themselves in the process. Anybody got something else they want to sacrifice to an Owl Statue?
“… the people of this land will have to choose between being rolled-over by a globalist coup or find other routes of resistance.”
This is the eternal struggle over the preservation of the human soul. Ours. The liars and energy vampires always want to steal it from you forever. So, we never can let down from our necessity to tell these bastards to go straight to hell and stay there.
“… ‘Joe Biden’ announced last week that Americans would be ‘encouraged’ to get a new-and-improved mRNA vaccine booster…”
And We the People similarly encourage The Resident to take his mRNA boosters and (deleted) it all the way up his unroyal (deleted).
“If you think that these various momentous happenings won’t affect the financial markets and the banking system in the coming season, prepare to be amazed. This is how America truly gets to feel the pain…”
America has felt little but pain since 1963. It felt plenty of pain during the first two World Wars. Then we were allowed by the Hidden Dark State Hand a few years of relative peace and prosperity. But – so as not to make the mistake of letting We the People get used to that kind of life – we were quickly ushered into the dark mid-60s years of being led by a War Monger and his newly installed associated misfits. And that unholy kind of rule has gone on unabated since then.
Americans and pain have become almost synonymous. We don’t want it. We don’t need it. But we are never asked about what We want.
‘THIS’ (our lives and times today) is what you’re going to get!’ the Hidden Dark State Hand tells us. ‘And you had better-the-hell like it’… ‘or we can make it WORSE.’
Hell exists for a reason. And hell is not meant to be lived on this Earth. It is reserved for those who are earning their place there. And all those who lived that way before to earn their place in the hot realm. And one day, they’ll all be there together (And don’t you just love happy reunions?).
Biden has aviators. I just want the next democrat in charge to have epaulettes.

“In view of the foregoing arguments, we might well restate Olsonís ultimate economic conclusion on anarchy as follows: If a population acts to serve its common interest, it will never choose the state. In reaching this conclusion, we need not deny the countless problems that will plague the people living in a society without the state; any anarchical society, being peopled in normal proportion by vile and corruptible individuals, will have crimes and miseries aplenty. But everything that makes life without a state undesirable makes life with a state even more undesirable. The idea that the anti-social tendencies that afflict people in every society can be cured or even ameliorated by giving a few persons great discretionary power over all the others is, upon serious reflection, seen to be a wildly mistaken notion. Perhaps it is needless to add that the structural checks and balances on which Madison relied to restrain the government’s abuses have proven to be increasingly unavailing and, bearing in mind the expansive claims and actions under the present U.S. regime, are now almost wholly superseded by a form of executive caesarism in which the departments of government that were designed to check and balance each other have instead coalesced in a mutually supportive design to plunder the people and reduce them to absolute domination by the state.
My arguments in support of self-government, as opposed to society under a state, may have little point, of course: if people do not choose the state, but, as I think, simply have it imposed on them, then it makes no practical difference that the state is unnecessary to solve any particular kind of problem and that life without the state would be superior (Holcombe 2004). Life without cancer would be superior, too, but so far we have not found a way to get rid of it, and we have no guarantee that we ever will find a way, so we can only strive to make the best of a bad situation. We need also to consider the likely outcome if our society had no state but another society did, and that state had the capacity to harm us greatly and, for whatever reason, sought to do so. I am not convinced that this particular problem is insoluble, and indeed I believe that the state’s defenders may have blown it out of proportion, but I do not dismiss it entirely. The Irish monks may have had the better argument, but it availed them little when Henry VIII decided to rip the roof off the monastery.
Here, however, I have tried only to show how we may think more clearly about the choice between a society under the state and a society composed of self-governing individuals. Assuming that we really had such a choice, the better option seems to me fairly obvious. If the reader takes anything away from my arguments here, however, I hope that it will be an appreciation of how highly warranted is an application of the precautionary principle in choosing between anarchy and the state. Fire has proven to be a magnificent aid to human beings, but a fire that cannot be contained portends our utter destruction, and the state is precisely such a fire.” ~ Robert Higgs, ‘If Men Were Angels: The Basic Analytics of the State versus Self-government’
Why don’t you go pin that up in the town square? WTF
What about addiction & alcoholism, Beryl? Looking at street video taken in Philly, LA & SF … those people living under tarps and passed out on sidewalks don’t seem to be in any condition to take care of a house, pay the bills, hold down a job etc.
Think that the homeless are there because the Feds, in their drive to make us more dependent, are actually succeeding. These folks, the ones that are not mentally impaired, may not have an Avenue of economic recovery. Having a paycheck to paycheck job for decades that has been obsoleted means no Avenue of recovery. No retraining, no nothing.
The Deep State loves it. Andrew Yang loved it as he ran for president based on UBI. UBI is a brain child of the hi tech culture on what to do with obsoleted workers that the companies want no part of. So slough it off onto the government’s back.
Yeah, the same government that is 33 trillion in debt trying to cover the millions of illegal immigrants it has admitted.
No matter what economic direction I look, the end is coming and accelerating.
UBI, what a joke. It represents the separation of money from wealth, the end of which will be hyperinflation. Idiots in the government just think money is a piece of paper, they do not care if it says $1 or 1 million $ on it.
The faith of the people, unfortunately for those idiots, does care.
In the meantime, we will try to destroy Trump.
What happens when they do?
Ramaswamy and DeSantis are next!!!
John we live in a society that no longer believes in effects from bad decisions.
Butt reality is very different.
Poor grades, poor habits, poor work ethic, no sense of personal responsibility means poor job prospects.
They are engineering losers.
When I grew up mothers told kids they would be garbage men and janitors if they didn’t straighten up and fly right.
This isn’t to say one must be a conformist but you can’t tap out in high school and live a life of debauchery and good times without thinking you’ll be paying for it on the back end.

AI is going to make and save a lot of money for a relatively few people. This is what capitalism is all about. Those put out of work must be taken care of and/or secretly be put on the road to a quick death.
Capitalism leads to Transhumanism. AI bots are now putting Only Fans out of business. Real girls can’t compete. And many of the fans are bots too! Who needs human consumers if you have bot consumers?
You people took the wrong turn and kept on going a long time ago.
A LOT of people who were previous addicts and alcoholics relapsed during the Covid19 forced lockdown/hoax/touchless torture episode that went on for 2+ years.
And a lot of people lost their businesses ofr jobs to the lockdown fascism. Add to that, after the clotshot started, people have gone bankrupt with medical bills paying for their loved ones’ injuries, deaths and funerals.
I don’t think any of this has been tracked, but it’s widespread.
It’s not just people who don’t want to work and don’t know how to pay bills – it’s people who can’t, by no fault of their own.
Thank you, Mary.
I have read that the biggest growth in homelessness is in the elderly, those who worked all their lives, but now live on SS.
Then a hedge fund buys up the apartment they live in, raises the rents, and then evicts the ones who can’t pay.
Just a poor choice on the part of the elderly, you see, to live in a place that was bought by a hedge fund. How irresponsible of them.
It all makes me sick, and there should be more empathy for what has been done to people by no fault of their own. Yep.
Mary & Paula – check out the Chapwood Index on real, true inflation. Ed Butowsky started it back in 2008.
He is a financial planner and his impetus for looking at inflation was that his mother in her 80’s had to go back to work after running thru her money.
Elderly on SS get COLA’s based on US Gov reported CPI of 1-2%, when real inflation rages at 10-15% annually.
Not hard to figure out the math & why the elderly run out of money.
Zaz, the State was supposed to disappear under Lenin, too; instead, the State grew stronger, and murderous.
It was a simple matter of “The killing will continue until attitudes improve.” The question is, what will you do with Conrade Citizens not down with the Anarchist program? How will you deal with them? Or are you simply talking about theory, not practical application? The fact is, whatever outcome you are hoping for, the opposite might happen, in fact, most likely will happen.
BackRowHeckler, in order to have many things, including anarchy or the State, conditions need to be met. In some places and times, the conditions will be met and, in other places and times, they won’t.
Anarchy is not a ‘program’, although it can guide/inform one. It’s just a very simple set of ethical principles.
At present, we appear to be hitting peak State as more and more people begin to question and challenge its ethics and as they look to anarchy in the process
So the conditions appear to be changing, at least for some people in some places.
Zaz, human nature being what it is, conditions will never be met that would foster an Anarchistic State. He term ‘Anarchistic State’ itself is an oxymoron.
The closest thing I can think of is right here where I live, in the year say, 1675: a town with plenty of resources and land, populated with educated, hardworking, self sufficient, middle class people from England, who belonged to the same (Congregational) church, spoke the same language (English) each with a farm — about 300 acres — but also each fulfilling an important vocational role, one being a cooper, another operating a sawmill, yet another an ice house etc. Best I can tell no established law enforcement existed, and the only ‘Government’ was the Church, who kept the records and levied a very small tax. Citizens seem to have been ‘self policing’ at the time. Even then, north & east of here, King Phillip’s War broke out and a defense force had to be organized, and also a company of soldiers was mustered to fight Indians in Rhode Island..
So there you have it, people sharing the same religion, language, culture and background, living in orderly anarchy. It worked pretty good until Baptists showed up, and then in about the 1820s, Irish laborers, who wanted to build a Catholic Church. That’s when the sh#t hit the fan, and a more organized & official state govt established itself.
Can you name any other place and time in history where Anarchists ran the show and things went smoothly? Without assassinations, and no bombs be set off?
Zaz,
What you have accomplished in education has been at the loss of wisdom. Your view of Anarchy is totally Utopian and without a shred of realpolitik.
You want to experience anarchy? Go to prison and become the bitch of the largest negro on the block who bought you for two packs of Kools….
Your comments on anarchy suggest you have never seen it in its raw form.
And he has never read the first Anarchist Cook Book ‘The Leviathan’ c1655, by Thomas Hobbes …
“All against all”
“Every man for himself”
“Let the strongest man win”
In ‘The Leviathan’, written right around the time of the English Civil War, nobody is sitting around in a big circle jerk singing Kumbaya.
If the State cannot keep itself together– and many indications suggest it can’t and won’t– then it will fragment into smaller and more localized social structures.
Some of the more mature, responsible, enlightened ones may survive and thrive, while others perish or have a harder time adapting.
Some sorts of people who thrived best/better in the Mommy and Daddy State ecosystems might find themselves unable to adapt, such as when they need a diaper-change after a little accident.
My take is hardly Kumbaya. Kumbaya might come more from those with little appreciation for where I’m actually coming from.
“My take is hardly Kumbaya. Kumbaya might come more from those with little appreciation for where I’m actually coming from.”
Zaz,
Lil’E is trying to understand where you “come from”…
Elysianfield’s Prison
“You might not be interested in the cartoon cliche, but the cartoon cliche might be interested in you…” ~ elysianfield
—-
But it’s your cliche. You brought it up.
Which seems offered by you in a way as to have you by the balls, ironically, in a kind of intellectual immobilization.
And wanting to share it with me and others as an argument for doing what? Nothing?
Letting the State, perhaps in consult with the WEF et al., do its thing around you/us, while you helplessly waddle around in your diapers and State-prison fantasies?
If we want to do anything we actually have to put those first steps forward, step out of our parents’ house and out of our mental prisons.
Ospreys of course don’t come out of nowhere, nor fly themselves. They need engineers, builders, pilots, courage and imagination, etc..
Sure some might crash.
That fact will dissuade some who then use it to dissuade others.
…If some planes keep crashing, then it’s back to the ol’ drawing board.
Anarchism, its ethical principles, is/are the ol’ drawing board.
Then, if/where we get at least closer with each concerted step/effort, maybe your cliched prison anti-fantasies fade away as they become more prone to take care of themselves in the improved environments/systems.
What may be seen as the fundamental paradox or conundrum is that if humans cannot make anything work, then nothing will.
That’s why I mentioned, upthread naked apes and adult responsibility and whatnot.
So, if or as Mommy and Daddy State declines/collapses, where it cannot be made to work, little elysianfield, Zazelle and all the rest will once again be on their own.
You prison analogy is a cartoon cliche.
Zaz,
Little elysianfield has been, and still is, on his own. “But Lil’ E” (can we abbreviate? Thanks) has experienced anarchy first hand, and understands the ramifications, and I would suggest that you have not, other than through a mental exercise of an idealized concept that would be rife with qualifications.
Yes, the cartoon cliche is well worn, but still stands to define the flaws in your concept. Would you like another?
Haiti.
You might be financially comfortable, and have the benefit of a quality education. Celebrate your good fortune. You might not be interested in the cartoon cliche, but the cartoon cliche might be interested in you….
I’ve been to Haiti a few times; anarchy reigns, it’s a war of all against all. It’s a lot worse now apparently, armed gangs rule the streets. Lack of govt creates a vacuum of power, and the void is filled by the toughest people, with the most guns … and a willingness to use them.
I get the impression Zaz’ Anarchism is mere theoretical, utopian bullsh#t he knows will never be implemented, and can never be implemented, anywhere. Anarchists knew this back in the day, hence the bombs & assassinations. Jared is on here promoting economies based upon Fascists principles … at least we have examples we can look at — Portugal, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Chile, Argentina — to see how it worked out. Results have been mixed.
What where you doing in Haiti? Military?
Have you read Lothrop Stoddard’s classic study of the revolution and White genocide there?
Yeah, showing the flag, and a few days of Liberty.
A break from Russian anti sub Patrols in the Caribbean & Gulf of Mexico
Oh yeah I’ve read Stoddard’s book, along with ‘A Rising Tide of Color’. Back in the day.
Madison Grant too, I assume? The Passing of the Great Race? I expect more from you, soldier.
There’s no ‘flaw’ per se, elysianfield, except insofar as it might apply to you or BackRowHeckler.
You don’t owe me or anyone else subscription to a particular kind of ethical prescription or perversion, except of course where I have a gun pointed to your head along with some demands, never mind your prison analogy.
But that– the State– seems a monoculture that’s blanketed and infected the entire planet as well as, perhaps, your way of thinking and doing.
What does Mother Nature have to say about monocultures? What is her ‘ideology’?
(shrug)
Hunter and Joe Biden, the ‘Deep State’ and all its particular cronies, could be viewed as among anarchism’s anti-heroes in their subversions, often in plain sight, of the American State system (and of the State system in general) and any ethics it might have had.
If you look at this through an evolutionary lens, you will see that there are many ways to skin a cat, many ways to evolve.
Like the proto-feathered dinosaurs that were to become the birds, it didn’t matter that their oversized obese cousins would lose the game of evolution to an apparent asteroid.
Correction to above:
“Like the proto-feathered dinosaurs…”
should read;
“To the proto-feathered dinosaurs…”
Zaz.
I am not necessarily enamored with our current status. It is heavily flawed, as are other systems, as is humanity. The state exists to, at some level, to protect the weak. It might be arguable, in an academic setting, to argue that the weak should not live, nor breed. In a truly just society of right-thinking men, this might have merit. But humanity, in general, is selfish, uncaring, and sometimes predatory. It is the mark of EVERY utopian paradigm that humanity be changed to something other than what it represents.
The state is/or will soon be dysfunctional? Maybe at some level. However, a real life, real time experiment is currently being conducted to study your most basic premise, naked of qualifications.
Haiti.
Spin it if you will….
I just downloaded the Stoddard book on the revolution in Santo Domingo [via the Internet Archive].
Some fascinating, if grim, reading.
Thanks Jarek for the pointer.
I don’t know. Legalizing murder is pretty anarchic, and I think I would support it.
Nobody wants the wild west back?
Gus,
The “Wild West” was a bit idealized. The reality would be your neighbor shooting you in the back because your dog crapped on their lawn once to often.
On the whole, the highly trigger-happy would get retributionized and weeded out.
Legalizing murder also legalizes revenge murder..
A lot of wild-west crime was outlaw vs. forces of (weak) civilization (farmers, city settlers, the overly wealthy).
Rather than outlaw vs. innocent citizens pure as the driven snow.
Yeah, and the whores didn’t wear clean linen or look like Dolly Parton fresh out of the bath.
A dirty Dolly’s okay.
Wyatt Earp in his entire life, was never shot, not even once.
A few of his brothers were shot tho, Warren & Morgan I believe.
Shot & killed I should say.
Did they have lawns in the old Wild West?
It’s pretty dry out there, Islander. Maybe not.
LOL.
Yes. They were called pastures.
Zazz, anarchy (“no ruler”) would be my ideal form of government too. But it is a form of government that I think is impossible. It could work with a rational and conscientious population, but they’re a rare species.
And if rational, conscientious anarchists managed to carve out a home of their own, they would be beset by slobbering mobs of the emotional and selfish, now sadly bereft of the ameliorating influence of the rational who once lived among them.
Blackbird, since they are on-topic, see my comments immediately upthread at these links:

Zazz, I witnessed your gunfight above, and side-stepped to the end of the line to avoid the cross-fire (i.e., being accused of agreeing with you!).
If you haven’t already, you should visit The Corbett Report. James Corbett is an anarchist, aware, and articulate. He also provides references for the claims he makes – I like that.
I think most people conflate anarchy with chaos. Just as they conflate fascism with plutocracy, and sociopathy with psychopathy.
So many terms to define, so little time…
I’ve been aware of Corbett for some time and already mentioned upthread or in the previous article’s threads that he’s an anarchist.
But if we really think about it, shouldn’t we all be anarchists, unless we are sociopsychopathic?
I also wrote this in the previous article’s threads:
—-
“You’re looking on the wrong end, folks…
The other end is the foundation, where things start and are built upon, unless you live in cloud cuckoo land:
• The State is foundationally coercive/non-consensual.
• Anarchy is foundationally non-coercive/consensual
Paula, what is a word for non-consensual sex? I’ll give you a hint: It’s four letters long and starts with the letter r.”
“Paula, what is a word for non-consensual sex? I’ll give you a hint: It’s four letters long and starts with the letter r?”
racy?
“Spin it if you will….” ~ elysianfield
Until FUKIS destroyed Libya, I had no idea how their government was organized.
Apparently, Ghaddafi thought that the best democracy was grass roots democracy, so Libya was organized so that all decisions were made in mass meetings. Everyone was supposed to go and have their voice heard.
Reality check- very few people like to go to meetings. The meetings were not well attended.
Still, the country worked well enough to be considered the country with the highest standard of living in Africa.
Now, of course, it is a terrorist-infested hellhole which holds slave markets, and which people have been drowning in the Mediterranean to escape, since Hillary Clinton first cackled “We came, we saw, he died”.
You could call it anarchy now, but since war lords have organized and are battling it out, it was actually more anarchic before, if you consider anarchy to be self government.
It’s just that people don’t like to go to meetings.
Nation-states don’t work. They’re too big, economically compromised towards the benefit of higher ends of class systems and towards shortsighted ecological practices—and, at the root, common people hate them and merely find themselves unfortunately enmeshed in them.
Nation-states are inherently unstable and shortlived, and social-reform ideas that assume the continuation of nation-state structures are as doomed as those structures.
In theory. But Libya was destroyed for her oil, gold and silver.
Only a nation state can protect itself from predators.
Libya managed to fight off FUKUS for 9 months, which is pretty impressive for such a small country.
But you can see now why they had to fight so hard.
“Only a nation state can protect itself from predators.” ~ Paula D

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.” ~ Smedley D. Butler, ‘War is a Racket’
Zaz, you seem to justify previous acts of Anarchist violence by pointing out wars modern nation states engage in. But the modern Nation-State wasn’t created until 1648 with the Treaty of Westphalia; there were plenty of wars before that, my friend. Even in pre historic times your idolized neolithic hominids were fighting over territory & resources … chucking spears at each other and throwing one another off cliffs.
City States preceded nation States, but in any case, it should be obvious that some States, tribes, bands, relationships and individuals are/were different, like for example, less violent/unethical/dictatorial/unenlightened/etc. and more gentle/ethical/anarchistic/enlightened/etc. than others.
Anarchy is, with some exceptions/qualifications, against government, so aside from you and BackRowHeckler, above-thread with ‘Anarchist State’, no one is mixing those two things up. If I did, it was likely with some qualification.
Anyway, problems that might beset people attempting to acheive or improve things, such as through anarchist principles, is no reason not to try or, at the very least, to hold and express such principles.
Otherwise, what are we saying exactly? That corruption for example is ok?
Then we might as well applaud the actions of all those State players that JHK laments each week.
Zaz,
What WE are saying is that corruption is baked into any system that involves humans.
“Anyway, problems that might beset people attempting to achieve or improve things, such as through anarchist principles, is no reason not to try”
The reason not to try is that nowhere, in recorded human history has anarchy bettered the lives of humans or advanced their civilization.
Ever. Full stop.
As I suggest previously, it’s about evolution and what who wants to achieve.
Human evolutionary forks are going to function differently.
It’s entirely possible that this may prove to be the currently-existing-human’s– homo-sapiens’– paradox/conundrum if they want civilization or at least civilizations of certain kinds.
As a related aside, it may also answer the Fermi Paradox.
Nate Hagens, if you may know of him, has suggested that we are a superorganism.
I argue that we are almost one, but not quite.
This is because true superorganisms are supposed to actually work for reasonable lengths of time and don’t keep collapsing, due to their ‘corruptions’, as you might write in your broad brush strokes.
Unfortunately, civilizations, depending, may require the levels of hyperspecialization that are at fundamental odds with, at least the current, human’s individual complexity– that seems wont to go its own way (get corrupted).
So what do ‘we’ (or at least some of us) do?
Wait for Klaus Schwab to emerge from his volcano island lair and rescue us?
And in the mean time, keep bitching ad nauseum behind anonymous monikers on some corners of the internet (while it lasts) as if it matters?
“everything that makes life without a state undesirable makes life with a state even more undesirable. ”
Zaz,
I would not accept that premise. Consider that the state has, and attempts to maintain, a monopoly on violence.
Explain Haiti.
Elaborate.
As I already wrote, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink…
People who want to improve things, despite the hurdles, apparent paradoxes and naysayers (anyone we know?), still might.
Others, who feel they can’t, that it’s hopeless, well, it’s their prerogative.
Some will simply be content to blow in the wind, and then maybe bitch about it online, cuz it feels good to rant/vent.

Cariño, ¿son esos Jugalos? ¿Hay un grupo de payasos locos (Insane Clown Posse) en la ciudad para un concierto?
Lol.
The Jugalos sued the Feds and won. They made ads of themselves as sad clowns who couldn’t get jobs or loans after being labeled as terrorists. Like the antifa, many of the Jugalos have interesting last names and more money than you’d think they would have.
I will pay top $ for a screenshot of Jarek in his Jugalo guise
No, they’re controlled by your people not the Irish.
And another thing…
Did anyone in our representative government bother to ask us if we want more poor and homeless?
They got us to believe in welcoming the huddle masses, I think that covers their asses.
One ‘benefit’ of increasing immigration numbers (assuming that’s what’s happening), along with UFO, LGBTQWERTY+, Black Lives, Women vs White Patriarchy, CovidRedux, warmongering under the pretense of peace and democracy, and other ‘distractionary issues’, is that if they increase the conditions for social strife, FUD and similar among people, people won’t likely be concerned, or as concerned, about those running the State and pulling those strings. They’ll have enough on their plates without bothering about proverbial pitchforks.
