Woo-wee, that was a close call, huh? But remind me: what was the war supposedly about? Protecting Ukraine’s hallowed border? Bwahahahaha…! Borders? We don’t care about no steenkin’ borders (especially our own border). Upholding the sacred honor of NATO? Really? Who exactly would be punished if the US tries to shut down the Nord Stream-2 pipeline that will send much-needed Russian natgas to gasless Germany? (Did you guess our NATO ally, Germany?) Would Germany suddenly discover that the pipeline is none of America’s business? I think so.
Anyway, what’s the beef in Ukraine? Its easternmost Donbas region has rebelled against administration by Kiev. At America’s direction, Kiev harasses the majority ethnic Russian population there with US-made weaponry. Yet Ukraine’s president Zelensky claims he doesn’t want to antagonize Russia, and certainly wants his much-stomped-upon country — the doormat of Europe — to not get stomped-on all over again in any hypothetical war. Ukraine is already an economic basket-case, supported only by CIA-sponsored grifting operations.
Enter Monsieur Macron of France. After two years of antagonizing his countrymen with lockdowns and put-downs, he needs a boost for the national election forthcoming in April. So, he has heroically sued Mr. Putin of Russia for a Ukraine “ceasefire.” Note: the Russians haven’t fired. Anyway, that opened the way for a proposed “summit” meeting between “Joe Biden” and Mr. Putin — when the Russians feel like it. They’re playing it a little coy for the moment, letting the West twist slowly, slowly in the wind. If a summit does happen, what will the two summiteers talk about? Mr. Putin will reiterate that the US and NATO made a solemn promise (in writing) to not expand NATO along Russia’s borderland in 1990 when the Soviet Union fell apart, and y’all reneged on that… and now it stops with Ukraine… really… got it?
“Joe Biden” will not have a coherent response. Maybe he’ll want to talk ice cream flavors or dogs. He is, as the Russians say, not negotiation-worthy, though he can be trotted out for photo ops. But “Joe Biden” needs a big win so he can brag on something in his State of the Union address. His Democratic Party is looking every day more and more like some hell-born spawn of Satan bent on wrecking what’s left of the old USA. Everything they’ve done since 2016 has degraded the life of the nation — weaponizing the “Intel Community,” queering a national election, besetting the people with race-and-gender mindfuckery, and inflicting the deadly “vaccines” on the population to “fix” the Fauci-created Covid-19 crisis. Never has the country seen a president so obviously incompetent and unpopular. The people backstage running him like an animatronic automaton are in a panic.
By default, then, the summit meeting will be game-set-and-match, Mr. Putin, only both parties will pretend that it’s some kind of moral victory for “JB,” while Russia gets exactly the terms it seeks: Nord Stream-2 will be completed and Germany will get natgas; there will be no additional stupid sanctions and get rid of the old ones; and the US will close up its CIA shop in Kiev and quit all the pointless antagonism. There will be peace in that corner of the world. And then, on cue, the West’s financial system will implode.
Yes, that’s what is actually going on in the background. That roar you hear is bad credit whooshing out of the banks. It looks like we’re going to get both a ripping inflation and a collapse of equities and assets all at once — with a side-dish of disappearing livelihoods, vaporizing pensions, and sinking standards-of-living. One surmises that all the meshugas over Ukraine was designed as a distraction from the financial disorders now at hand. The news media has faithfully played the Ukraine story to the max while ignoring the growing disarray in North America.
The Toronto Star barely even reported today on the weekend dispersion of truckers in Ottawa — like it never happened… a kind of national hallucination. The big rigs are gone from the streets around Parliament Hill, but one suspects the action isn’t over. Mr. Trudeau’s stupid vaxx mandates are still in place and every passing day more is known about their inefficacy and ghastly after-effects. Nor has the national legislature of Canada voted, as required, in support of the Emergencies Act — meaning that the financial punishment inflicted on the truckers and their supporters was arguably illegal.
Down here in the Land of the Free our truckers are marshaling for the Great US Trucker Convoy of 2022 outside of Barstow, California, to proceed eastward-ho Wednesday morning for our nation’s capital. The notorious fences are back up around the Capitol building. No doubt, the feds will try to shut down the bridges across the Potomac, but there are plenty of back doors into the District. Will “Joe Biden” resort to the same financial intimidation tactics that Mr. Trudeau pulled on his truckers — go after their bank accounts and confiscate assets? Let’s hope the US truckers learned that lesson from the Great White North and have made other arrangements. What if the DC police attempt an Ottawa-style beat-down against our badass truckers? To paraphrase the old American folk song: I wouldn’t want to be them on that dreadful day….

“CIA-sponsored grifting operations.” – How does that work? Do they go “Mr. Spy, I’d like some grift please?”
Probably depends on who they are asking. They’d need to use the word for grift in the language of the person they were requesting it from.
I think the Ukrainian word for grift is “hunterisky”. . . 🙂
Look up “color revolution” online. Our alleged good guy spooks have done a lot of bad shit over the years, some of which lined the pockets of VIPs, featuring our buddy Georgie Porgie Soros.
I have, for quite a while now, thought that all this woke nonsense and installation of DAs that sick criminals on us innocent folks is a part of Soros’ plan to destroy America because he is short the dollar.
He has a history of destroying people’s lives for personal gain.
This is how they do it my friend….

Utter psychopaths, and I’ve only watched the first couple of minutes (I’ll watch the rest tomorrow).
Although we knew decades ago that all the ‘aid’ that went to Africa was dwarfed by the interest payments going in the other direction on predatory loans.
After WWII, America was the strongest man standing and took total advantage of the position to utilize Economic Warfare to subjugate as much of the world as possible. Get ’em hooked on a diet of US Dollars and then own ’em. The tactic works around the globe and on all of the wage slaves right here in the good old US of A. I personally know a number of US military personnel that distributed pallet loads of greenbacks throughout areas of operations over the course of the last two decades to further that agenda.
The American public will always grovel for greenbacks, but when the countries of the world decide that it is actually as worthless as it has become, why then it will be America’s turn in the barrel. Soon I think, soon.
Justin Trudeau, with the full support of the Liberal/NDP majority announced the implementation of the Emergency Measures Act, inflaming the Western provinces who are adamantly opposed to this federal over-reach. There’s no way around it. Canadians are headed to divorce court and the ruling Liberals/NDP don’t care at all. The cops have already begun roughing up anyone they think might be sympathizers in Ottawa, the government already admitted they have been monitoring 33 million cell phone users, allegedly to keep track of coronavirus transmission, and citizens bank accounts have been arbitrarily seized for the crime of making donations of as little as twenty dollars to truckers’ convoy. There’s no way out of this mess now because refuses to either step down or tone down his rhetoric. A Conservative MP whose parents were Holocaust survivors was accused of being a Nazi sympathizer by the PM for defending the truckers’ convoy. Meanwhile, our national media continues to rachet up the temperature with their vicious attacks on anyone opposed to the Trudeau dictatorship.
The US dollar is valued on the exchanges, not in absolute terms, but as compared to a given basket of currencies. US military and intelligence have these countries under their control, so the relative value of the dollar is really just a political machination. (This is why the US must spend 40% of the world’s total military budget. )
Gold Could reflect absolute value, which is why the price is tightly and artificially controlled.
? to all you clusterfuckers out there. And thanks mr. k for all the excellent wordsmithing.
Will the dollar, or any other major fiat currency ever collapse or lose all of their value? Maybe not. As long as human beings allow themselves to be controlled and dominated by currencies, fiat will remain valuable to those that print them up for free.
What has already lost almost all of its value are human lives as people have become worthless pawns of the masters that rule them. They will continue to become even more worthless as AI and robots take over the workplaces that allowed humans to “earn” a living. With the decimation of national borders, low level workers will continue to be available to the masters to do the menial tasks that still remain for slave wages and living conditions, because the migrants will still be better off then where they came from.
The Canadian twerp is paving the way for the total de-humanization of what used to be the working class. Once the vocal opposition is neutralized by cutting off their access to income it is just a matter of time before they are rounded up, one by one in the middle of the night and carted off for disposal.
I am beginning to think that those conspiracy theories of government stockpiling of guillotines and coffins might not be theories after all. They hate us and want us dead if we do not beg for their boots on our necks. Good luck, the world grows more interesting with every passing day.
Meanwhile in the Great Woke North……
migrants will still be better off then (sic) where they came from. – Walt B
This is where Putin is lightyears ahead of the US Deep State. He’s already telegraphed his next two moves:
1) Present conclusive evidence to the UNSC of CIA involvement in genocide in the breakaway republics. This provides the justification for defending Eastern Ukraine from the neo-Nazis in Kiev as well as putting the US is geo-political defense mode.
2) Use his amassed forces in Belarus to move on Kiev in response to ‘aggression’ when Zolenskyy sends his army in to put down the rebellion.
Then he’ll just sit back and watch the NATO strap-hangers backstab other member states as the weak coalition supporting sanctions implodes.
Should be fun to watch.
“Note: the Russians haven’t fired.” Heh.
Too funny.
Wagging the dog! Actually, I hope Putin does invade. That would be best for the Russians in that little area, and provide a lot of popcorn time for me. What would be fun is if China came down on Russia’s side and invoked sanctions against the U.S., and put a stop to all exports here!
Not quite there yet, but soon. Very soon.
It’s business and China won’t cut off its nose to spite its face. What Russia should have done was to take back Ukraine along with Crimea back when warmonger Victoria Nuland stirred the pot with her color revolution.
What she and the rest of the warmongers back in DC did was light a bag of dog shit on Russia front door. They rang their doorbell and watched as Russia tried to stomp out the lit bag with their foot. That’s when Russia realized it was all a prank.
I know China won’t do that. They are like a bank that is owed big bucks by a dodgy debtor. They are too far in to quit.
China financially and economically is in far worse shape than the US and that is hard to imagine. The entire Global Economy is being held together by financial super glue and duct tape. It’s that bad.
China appears like a unified monolith to the West because most of us don’t speak Mandarin and our MSM refuses to report on China due to lack of access and the fact wide swaths of the MSM are financially tied to China.
A bit of research and one can find that China has serious issues with demographics, clean water, arable land, and the immense amount of wealth people have plunged into worthless ghost city properties.
There are also reports that Xi’s reign is not as unified as it appears, and that he faces internal competition from the Jiang Zemin/Shanghai factions.
China’s only hope to avoid starvation and collapse is to expand outside their borders. Maybe they can get all of us to inject ourselves with poison and just die already so there will be more room for them in North America.
In Canada, the government has used the crisis as a pretext to monitor financial transactions and freeze assets. (Perhaps they have been doing this all along, but now they boldly announce it).
That genie will not go back into the bottle in Canada, even if everything magically resolved itself and COVID was declared dead and all sides agreed.
And the US government probably has that power and more. Even if they mess up half the time, that still means mischief for people in the US government’s sights. Account hiccups, IRS issues, no fly list.
So to the extent possible, while inconvenient, people need to use cash or barter or gold/silver as much as possible, and shift out of financial assets as much as possible as early as possible.
Today’s financial assets will be digitized with purposes and expiration dates—at least that’s what the WEF wants.
The parallels between Hitler and Turdeau are uncanny. Both about 30-32% of the vote in the last election; both demonized others as disease bearing.
One different parallel : the Spanish Civil War was a dress rehearsal for German weapons; Canada is a dress rehearsal for how to establish a de facto dictatorship in Western country with the veneer of democratically elected government.
Post some links to just how bad China’s off and no you won’t have to post any on just how bad the U.S. is off seeing I live here I know first hand just how bad it is. China’s a roaring dragon while we are a castrated kitten, it’s just that we really can’t bring ourselves to say ‘WE AIN’T NUMBER ONE NO MORE’ which hurts the most, Americans are slow learners, but that’s due to change when the house falls in.
Bluedog, China is a massive net importer of BOTH food and energy. A harsh double whammy. Their drinking water for 1.4 billion people is trashed. Yes, the US is in bad shape, nobody is arguing that we’re not. But from an ecological overshoot standpoint, it seems like China is even worse. They’ll have to expand their borders in order to reign supreme.
So-crates: Except that Hitler was fighting the International Bankers and the nascent New World Order, and Trudeau is one of their pawns. But it doesn’t matter, right? Communism and National Socialism: same. Fighting: Bad! Your female teachers told you as much.
China: World’s Number 2 Economy.

Model it to the extreme.
Each entity is comprised of a family of 4 and a cart, where the object is to be the first to pull your cart across the finish line.
In the US, all 4 family members are pulling the cart in a different direction, or sitting in the cart playing with their cell phones waiting for someone else to pull it to the finish line; whereas in China, all 4 members are pulling the cart to the finish line 24/7 (they can taste victory).

One thing that is rarely mentioned when labeling Ukraine as that little, dysfunctional country grafted onto the Big Bear is that in terms of land area Ukraine is large compared to countries like France or Italy. In spite of rampant corruption, a CIA coup overthrowing a corrupt but elected government, and continual CIA/NATO interference it is still the fourth largest grain producer on the planet. Factor that into a China unable to supply enough food to support its population or enough water to expand its agriculture and another picture begins to emerge.
The Ukrainian army has a life expectancy in weeks if the full strength of the Russian military were brought to bear against it. Objectively Russia has little need for more land: what they need are more Russian babies to populate the huge country they already have. Putin has worked diplomatically for years to defuse and neutralize the threat US/NATO missiles pose if sited five minutes from Moscow. Perhaps the internal political support for diplomacy has worn thin— or perhaps Putin has just grown tired of being lied to and attacked by economic warfare and decided that now is the time to put an end to the festering sore on its southern flank.
From the Russian/Chinese perspective another benefit of getting on with it, putting and end to the ten year war and expelling the CIA mercenaries is apparent. When push comes to shove the US has already signaled what there response will be—- run with their tails between their legs as they did in Afghanistan. Perhaps the Kiev Nazis can find a suitable new home in Fascist Canada.
With the Russian military to provide order and stability and Chinese capital to supply new combines and irrigation systems Ukraine could once again become the breadbasket of Europe (or China) Relying upon Argentina as the third leg of the grain highway is risky at best. The country has a long history of political instability and serving as the IMF’s money laundering bitch. It will take some time before it can become a reliable stop on the Silk Road.
Looking further down the road at global food supplies, there is no guarantee that the American Great Plains can continue to supply the world. It sits on top of an eons-old underground lake (the Ogallala Aquifer) that is rapidly being pumped dry. The regional climate is in the first stages of a cyclical drought, the duration of which cannot be predicted. All the more reason to have reliable supplies of basic food grains spread over geographical regions.
It’s business until it’s not anymore. What do you do when your business “partner” (aka, shakedown artist) becomes insolvent and destitute and in his misery begins threatening you physically? You might start by curb stomping him but good and leaving him bleeding in the gutter to consider his options as his one and only warning. Russia, China, and the rest of Asia are rapidly becoming self-sufficient and reasonably prosperous, especially given the giant albatross that is the US deadbeat still hanging around their necks. The last part of that equation isn’t going to hold forever.
In a global collapse situation, the US could hypothetically do a better job feeding itself than could China. This, of course assumes that the US doesn’t commit suicide before that time.
The US has more food potential and a smaller population, for sure. But the end effect may not be much different. Americans eat more and are “softer” than the Chinese. The are also better armed. And the notion the “we are Americans” has been undermined in many areas by diversity.
So internally, things could unravel in the US—and that’s absent an external shock.
Things would unravel in China too—but the still have tens of millions of subsistence farmers. They don’t have a common Chinese identity, which is a problem for them.
Basically, the world is a fragile place. The more mankind progresses, the more fragile that progress is. Entropy works against us..
Soc-Det: Well said. A viable nation is a miracle. We casually threw our miracle away with endless wars, consumerism, and third world immigration. And now worship of our former slaves.
Jarek, try to get a sense of humor.
Amiam: Maybe you’re not up for a serious discussion. Most people aren’t. American in particular have a mad passion for light entertainment.
Hypothetically now that’s the question that begs to be answered who’s going to manufacture all the goods that China manufacture’s seeing we don’t anymore, as Reagan brayed we don’t need manufacturing for we will be the financial capital of the world, well it seems like we are neither but the well known fact is that any country needs a robust manufacturing or else they cease to exist as any kind of power.

The factors at play in determining a nation’s ability to feed itself extend far beyond a calculation of current productivity and amount of land in cultivation.
Advanced Technology agricultural production system.
Agriculture in the USA is highly dependent upon fertilizers, irrigation, pesticides, genetically engineered seeds and million dollar tractors and harvesters. As a result productivity per worker is extremely high compared to traditional forms of agriculture. (Although productivity per acre may actually be lower.) Take away any one of these factors and the entire system is subject to collapse. Raise interest rates to 12% as they were during the Regan era, and farmers (or the corporations that have replaced them) can no longer afford to buy the fertilizers and chemicals upon which their productivity depends. The days of buying a new combine every year and a single man farming larger and larger plots of land are over.
No amount of praying can bring rain if the wandering jet stream diverts it elsewhere. The US Great Plains have turned
into a Dust Bowl in the past, and the developing cycle points in that direction again. The largest supercomputer can’t predict if the cyclical nature of drought is a temporary event or a century long pattern. Drilling deeper and deeper into aquifers that were filled over millions of years is an obvious dead end as the energy cost of pumping water comes to exceed the benefit of using the last drop of water.
Feudal/ Peasant Agricultural Systems
Agricultural systems that rely upon human or animal labor are inherently more resilient. Instead of relying upon one genetically engineered seed stock owned by a mega-corporation there may be as many as a hundred varieties of potato nurtured by generations of farmers. When a fungus attacks one variety, there always exists the possibility of trading a goat or daughter to a farmer in the neighboring valley for seeds that are resistant and allow farming to continue. Whereas in a crisis of a technology based agricultural system and entire nation or even a continent may suddenly find itself without potatoes.
Life under peasant agriculture is never easy. When the last potato is gone, the last goat eaten, and the bark eaten off the barren fruit trees, the farmer and his family starve. That is as it always been ever since we abandoned the hunter-gather nomadic life style with it’s self-limiting population control. But peasant agriculture survives even something as universal as the Black Death.
I’m not sure the same can be said by technology that has abandoned any link to the natural world and learned how to create Nuclear Winter.
Here is what I would do, if I was Putin and could get away with it:
It’s a big lift, but I would
Invade Ukraine move Russian troops within 200 km of the Polish border—precisely to where the internationally recognized Polish/USSR border was between 1919/22 and 1939.
Annex the ethnic Russian parts of Ukraine ( that is easy)
Proclaim that Russia supports the return of illegally seized Polish territory to Polish control, but Poland must not put any bases in the former Ukraine territory,
Leave a rump Ukrainian state around Kiev, on the condition that it will be a demilitarized; like Finland was; otherwise it will be a De Facto Russian state.
No.
That is not a smart game.
Putin’s game is to insist on international law.
That is Minsk.
Unilateral adventures do not match Russia’s long-term strategy and game.
Russia will never be accepted by the west, for many reasons. One is that Russians are nominally Eastern Orthodox.
But the west (Europe/Germany) needs Russian energy, so they cannot treat Russia like North Korea.
I think realpolitik trumps international law.
This crisis was created by a West that, on the surface, does not respect Russia. The West wants Putin out, replaced by a sycophant. Something like Greece, where the west pulls the strings, and the Greek ruling class in particular and Greeks in general are helpless.
To remove Putin, , the West uses false arguments like democracy.
Russia’s other heresy, to the WEF, besides not being Godless, is that Russia is not yoked by the dollar denominated (today) system, so the WEF can’t control a nuclear power.
That is ironic, since the globalists helped nurture and create the USSR, and helped it acquire nukes, to help bleed America slowly with a huge waste of “defense”.
Turkey invaded Cyprus illegally. The Russians have legitimate claims. They should take whatever they feel they can get away with.
The West will never help.
Russia’s long term goal is to preserve its security. Long term, China is their biggest threat, but pivoting to Europe will just weaken Russia. China needs Russia and vice versa, and China respects the Russians nukes.
Just imo.
The US and other NATO countries already abandoned Kiev like rats from a sinking ship.
They stripped their embassies, burned papers and smashed computers, then hightailed it to the more proper Nazi capital of Lviv, where they feel quite at home.

I was wrong. I recently stated what seemed obvious— that the Ukraine armed forces would last only weeks if confronted by the full Russian army. Turns out that it only took a couple of days before photos of Russian soldiers and “retired” Ukrainian soldiers literally dancing together began to emerge.
US “Intelligence” analysts are no doubt pouring over images of the Afghanistan withdrawal for lessons in how to manage a retreat of American “advisors” and mercenaries. Never mind, you are no longer in charge. It’s time to find a home in the Great White North of Canada for your loyal Ukrainian Nazi allies while Boy Brown Shirt is still in Ottawa.
If you want to think a week or two ahead, consider how to respond when the Polish NATO forces fail to run as is the American MO? Or somebody with access to the Red Button on some of the weapons that the US MIC has sold to that country launches one against Russia?
I doubt if the Chinese assault on Taiwan will be as painless as the Russian blitzkrieg against Ukraine. But it may not last long either, as so many of the key electronic components in the US arsenal are Chinese supplied—.
Meanwhile the USA is guided by the managers of the Biden Hologram. If it no longer responds to chemical stimulation, waiting in the wings is the Cackling Ho. Obama, what were you thinking when you pulled her out of the dumpster of failed presidential hopefuls, injected money, and thrust her back into the race? The only candidate in the entire arsenal of midgets and perverts that stood a chance of being as hated as Hillary. After all as you said, “Never underestimate the ability of Joe Biden to fuck things up.”
Socrates,
Russia has been very consistent in its stance that its long-term security is best ensured by an international legal framework of agreements and treaties that nations STICK TO.
Not the USA’s unilaterally dictated “rule of law.”
Russia’s push to upgrade the level of discourse, so to speak, would be completely undermined by any stupid territorial grabbing unless there were a very clear danger to Russian people and a total failure of diplomacy. Even in the fact of diplomatic turds such as Blinken, Russia will keep giving him and the USA a chance, because Russia knows what war is. unlike Stinkin Blinken, Nuland, & Co.
It doesn’t matter whether Russia is “accepted” by the West or not. That is IMO silly psychobabble. These kinds of ideas are not how a great nation is run. Certainly not by someone as smart as VVP.
The whole idea of being “accepted” by the West is ludicrous. China doesn’t give a flyin fuck whether the West “accepts” it or not. That projection by western “leaders” is one reason why they didn’t see “China” coming. The fools. They though China wanted to be like them. Ha ha ha. China is a, what, 3,000-year-old culture. The “West” is a bunch of barbarians who tried for a couple of centuries to get control of Chinese society via opium, tried to rape it of its culture by destroying its greatest physical achievements (Yuan Garden; Forbidden City) and finally were cast out by Mao.
The West has no way to grasp the level of pain both Russia and China, and their people, have endured because of “the West” either trying to “civilize” their people and their nations or just trying to bring them to heal so that they could steal at will.
The current game is about Russia’s resources. The West will not win. Too bad for the West. If push comes to shove, Putin will push the nuclear button before the USA will ever get its claws on Russia.
Or China, I suspect.
Islander (NY?)
OK, Russia’s security “….ensured by an international legal framework of agreements and treaties that nations STICK TO”
But they don’t stick to agreements, signed or not, unless it suits them. And this is typical.
The US implicitly agreed not to expand NATO. It did.
The US abrogated the ABM treaty, did it not?
The Communists and USSR were generally bad news, usually worse than the Americans.
Once the USSR imploded, there is not “worse”, or dangerous country than the US government–which serves as the primary military tool of the New World Order.
There is also the practical question of money–and a lot of it, going to the military-industrial complex. They need an enemy to keep the contracts going–and they need to mix it up.
You are correct, Russians know war first-hand. Americans do not, (though those living in Chicago’s south side, Baltimore, and other similar cities are more likely to be killed than people in some hot war zones.)
The US is more likely to enter into treaties and abide by them when conditions on the ground make it prudent.
I think war should be a last resort.
But it’s wrong for the Russians in Ukraine to suffer. It is also politically damaging to Putin, who on track to be Russia’s best leader since Catherine the Great, perhaps Peter the Great.
I don’t trust our news media, because the infotainment is biased and erroneous. I don’t have the time or inclination to do my due diligence.
Thus, I tacitly agree with the Russians and Putin on this matter, based on my general knowledge of history and real life.
If the Ukranians are so western leaning, let them be part of Poland in the West, and let Russia have the eastern 2/3.
Agree with what you say, Islander, except that the US proclaims it adheres to the ”rule of law”.
They actually say that their unilaterally dictated proclamations are the ”rules based order”.
They don’t need no stinkin’ international law!
He who has the bombs makes the rules!
Russia announcing that they will protect the people of Donbass from the UkriNazis is a game-changer, for sure.
We’ll see what happens to the Rules Makers now.. Guess they’ll strut around the board, kick over the pieces and announce they won?
I don’t think Russia wanted all of Ukraine. It took back Crimea, with its only warm water port (Sevastopol) on the Black Sea. The two breakaway sections of Ukraine will now be firmly in the Russian orbit. Now that the startup of Nordstream 2 has been indefinitely delayed, I wonder how much economic pain Germany is willing to tolerate before it tells the US to butt out.
Little? If you mean Ukraine, it is a big country.
Yes, small in terms of population perhaps compared to most large European nations.
That would be a dream come true Chinese sanctions on exports to the US!
The US response should be to seize all assets owned by Chinese and resell them.
Half the housing markets cash for homes business is going to Chinese investors who are literally out pricing Americans from buying homes in their own country.
The US would begin to come back from foreign made junk and capital flow out to instead make things locally inside our sphere of influence say in Mexico and that other third world place Canada.
The US would collapse with a month.

2021, following an increase of 6.7 percent in the second quarter. The increase was revised up 0.2
percentage point from the “second” estimate released in November. The deceleration in real GDP in the
third quarter was led by a slowdown in consumer spending. A resurgence of COVID-19 cases resulted in
new restrictions and delays in the reopening of establishments in some parts of the country. In the third
quarter, government assistance payments in the form of forgivable loans to businesses, grants to state
and local governments, and social benefits to households all decreased. For more details, including
source data, refer to the Technical Note and Federal Recovery Programs and BEA Statistics.
GDP highlights
The third quarter increase in real GDP reflected increases in inventory investment, consumer spending,
state and local government spending, and business investment that were partly offset by decreases in
exports, housing investment, and federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the
calculation of GDP, increased.
• The increase in inventory investment
primarily reflected increases in wholesale
trade (led by nondurable goods industries)
and retail trade (led by motor vehicle and
parts dealers).
• The increase in consumer spending
reflected an increase in services, led by
“other” services (mostly international
travel), transportation services, and food
services and accommodations. Consumer
spending for goods decreased (led by
motor vehicles and parts).
• The increase in state and local government
spending primarily reflected an increase in
compensation of state and local
government employees (notably, education).
• The decrease in exports reflected decreases in both goods (led by foods, feeds, and beverages) and
services (led by charges for the use of intellectual property). The increase in imports reflected an
increase in services, primarily foreign travel by U.S. residents.
• The decrease in housing investment primarily reflected declines in improvements and new single-
family structures

Nope the shelves would be bare for a bit until the means of production got sorted out but collapse naw.
The US will collapse if we continue to go down the road under the inept leadership of Biden and the Democrat party and to lessor degree the almost as inept feckless Republican for lack of a better word leadership.
Kind of feels like some Rubicon has been crossed with the WEF du Nord this past weekend. Trudeau, Freeland, Schwab et al have overplayed their hand and revolutionized millions of North Americans who would rather just put food on the table and live our lives. That’s over now. We really don’t have a choice. Us delporables and bitter clingers will rise to the occasion. We will do what history demands. I’m sure of it. We’re nothing like them.

Excellent @Beryl – just excellent!
If our badass truckers can keep that in mind, we have a chance.
My fear is that a high enough percentage of ‘merkins cannot be bothered to look up from their phones long enough to take action to support the effort. I hope I’m wrong.
There is no way out of this until lampposts are decorated.
Side note: I would pay good money to hear Vladimir Putin use the contraction “y’all.” He will not deign to speak english but if he would, just this once, I would probably die a happy man in a fit of apoplectic laughter.
“There is no way out of this until lampposts are decorated.”
Please, help me understand what this means. I’m a simply country boy.
@Paul – I was referencing a line from a previous column by our host.
Rather than trying to paraphrase from memory, I will say that the tyranny the citizens of the United States and our neighbors to the north are experiencing will not end until lampposts are decorated with tyrants.
He means hanging .gov communists , teachers, union officials, university professors, and professional sports admin from lampposts until dead.
You can hear Putin sing Blueberry Hill :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV4IjHz2yIo
What a guy!
Now, Biden, let’s hear you (or Tony Blinken) sing Kalinka Maya.
Blackbird? Your comments?
Is there anything that bare-chested, bare-back, bear-riding badass can’t do?!
You gave me a great idea: Diplomacy Jam ’22!. World leaders solve world problems by showcasing their musical talents in one-on-one showdowns.
“In this corner, interpreting Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto Number 1 in B-flat minor: Vlad ‘the Impaler’ Putin. In that corner, twerking and lip-synching to Cardi B’s WAP: Joe ‘the Big Guy’ Biden.” Of course the Big Guy will get a Grammy for his performance, but he will have to yank his missiles and go home. The Big Guy: “Hey man, I can tinkle on the ivories too!” Putin, “Yes, I know. I have photos.”
It’s a shame that we in the west have to stumble through a series of clowns, each more abominable than the last. It would be nice to have a sophisticated, knowledgeable leader who doesn’t embarrass us, and reveal his ignorance, every time he gets in front of a camera. We get the leaders we are assigned.
Ha, ha, nailed it, Blackbird!
I would settle for Biden doing a drunken rendition of Korobushka while Kamala accompanies on a large ballalaiks.
Majestic prose.
….or is it verse?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
? Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
C.O: this is a beautiful passage, one of the most memorable from Gulag. I think of it often
Regarding the Solzhenitsyn passage: Die a quick and worthwhile death at your front door defending hearth and home – or die slowly and painfully wondering what happened to your family.
But as Solzhenitsyn said, you have to clearly see the future to understand the decision before you.
At this point I think that any sentient person can see the ending.
And yeah, the camps or taking a stand? Lousy choice, but I have already decided.
balalaika.
Yep…
Trudeau and his “finance minister” are Klaus Schwab’s bitches:

Barstow is about two hours from me. I was thinking of driving out there Wednesday to hear Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Robert Malone speak.
But I know I will be immediately ID’d via my license plate and then by iris scanning. Can’t afford to bring heat to my family I live with AND have my meager SS benefits frozen for being a “domestic terrorist”.
The irony here is that the taxpayers have financed all this surveillance of ourselves, now it is coming to bite us in the ass. Just for supporting The Constitution.
The Founding Fathers must be weeping.
Do it anyways. If they win, you will be in for a lot worse.
We went to a large protest here on the weekend. Cops in riot gear everywhere. Small pockets of Antifa monkeys on the occasional street corner to point and laugh at.
To protest one supposedly needed to have been tested and wear a mask.
I did neither, and it was fantastic. I wore my extra fat parka in case they came in with the clubs as they have in some places, particularly berlin. Non-compliance on a massive scale is the answer.
The good news is that Trudeau has released his pronouns.
They are he/hid.
The good news is that Trudeau may one day swing from a lamp post if we do not pack it in.

You mean the New National Flag that flies on all US embassies?

This is all distraction. A show to give mass media more fodder to keep you all interested in something other than our fate, powered by years of control by leaders we were told were capable of acting in our best interest.
Turn off the TV. It is the tool of the fools that fed you propaganda and sleeping sickness pills. Prepare for a worst case outcome because it is just around the corner.
Trans and gays are about to find out that their time in the sun is over, once our economy collapses. People won’t have time to worry about whether their feelings are hurt or not any more. They will discover that they’ve been pawns in a sociological mind-game all along. Used by big pharma and other interests.
What gets me is when the trannies complain about getting killed in large numbers. But, they never mention what they are doing when they get killed, which I surmise is pretty much sex work. And I think that guys who want to hook up with trannies are probably pretty freaky to begin with, so that is a dangerous road that they are traveling down to start with. But they imply that it is society which is offing them, when it is more likely their own customers doing it.
More to the point they are trying to sell themselves as females and when the clothes come off the truth gets revealed and customers tend to get really angry especially if they started some sex act and figured it out after starting.
Some Sea stories are around with the above scenario, and it always ends with the Tranny getting the crap beat out of them or worse.
They don’t get killed in large numbers, that is a lie.
Unfortunately, lies repeated often become excepted as truth.
I remember a couple of years ago, two trannies were fighting over a wig and one stabbed the other one to death.
Oh, shit, I thought, in a couple of months on Trans Remembrance Day, we’ll all be lighting candles and mourning the tragic death of this poor oppressed soul, gone too soon.
And sure enough….
Suicide rates are pleasingly high.
Pleasing to me at least.
Yeah, how can they get killed in large numbers, when they don’t even exist in large numbers?
It’s sad, for some of them. Not for their loudmouth, angry leaders, though.
Just in time too, before pronouns like ‘Zhe’ and ‘xqZ’ become mandatory, and failure to comply punishable by law.
The MSM seems to be all in on pushing, “Russia wants to put Ukrainian LGBTs in camps,” as a causus belli, similar to Iraqi WMDs.
You really can’t make this stuff up anymore.
Omigod! The horror, the horror!
The US military isn’t for fighting other countries, it’s for fighting Americans. That’s why they purged it of patriots and hoisted the freak flag high.

Just so long as war on the Eastern Front doesn’t interfere with US Military’s All Service PRIDE PARADE in June, let Ukraine and Russia have at it. If they start now the whole thing should be over and forgotten by PRIDE MONTH. There’s also the JUNETEENTH celebration to consider, which will be big.
Don’t forget the pregnant men and women!
Well, for pregnant women we have Air Combat Maternity Flight Suits. The pregnant men appear to be on their own. However, Sec. of Transportation Pete Buttgieg has been on maternity leave for the past year working on a chest feeding device for him and his husband, Chasten. It should be ready any day.
Speaking of those heroic truckers, if you haven’t seen this piece already you just have to read it:
“When the truckers rolled their big rigs, which weigh about 35,000 pounds, up to the political elite’s doorstep, engaged their parking brakes (or removed their wheels entirely), and refused to leave until their concerns were addressed, this was like dropping a very solid boulder of reality in the Virtuals’ front lawn and daring them to remove it without assistance. And because the Virtuals do not yet actually have the Jedi powers to move things with their minds, the truckers effectively called their bluff on who ultimately has control over the world.”

I’ve gotta admit, it’s kinda fun – in a voyeuristic kinda way – watching the current bunch of what passes for US decision makers twist in the wind. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of criminals. The meaning behind Putin’s characteristic wry smile is more apparent everyday. With adversaries like these, who needs allies? I’ll give the US in its current form until 2025.
But the current form is only one of myriad forms in recent years. The puppets dance to new tunes repeatedly, to the point of chaos and confusion. They’re mostly clueless as to what comes next. They’re not in on the adult discussions, but only dance when the fiddlers call the tunes.
I give the current form about a week.
That’s true, but I’m talking about the entire structure. The financial house of cards is the only thing holding it together at all. Once that collapses, the states will be jumping ship left and right. Open repudiation of unpayable and possibly illegal debts in a now worthless currency promises to be a lot of fun for all involved. We’ll have to coin a new term for our new emerging “Banana Republic.” Balkanization here we come.
so in 2025 no more social security checks, medicare, EBT cards?
They’ll blame it on people not getting their 51st death jab.
Not unless you reside in whats left of USA. East of the Dakotas and north of the Ohio to the east coast. Right there north of Dixie where it belongs. Think that worthless gubmint farce can handle that much ?
Beryl, something like 4 million (French ? ) people just found out this morning that their passports don’t work anymore because they’re late on the boosters.
That’s when the rubber hits the road and we either get Communism or Fascism. No more letting the Capitalists destroy everything they touch and hike the price of grain during famines.
Believe me, Fascism is by far the better and gentler option. Also Communists tend to be controlled by Capitalists, at least until they morph back into something more natural. But they can kill a lot of people before that happens.
Can you imagine Putin having a meeting with Kamala “Giggles” Harris??? Oh, but he would have to suppress his contempt and his amusement.
I don’t believe Putin would degrade his stature by meeting with Kamala. No f—ing way. She is beneath him (pun intended).
100% agree @ UN.
I’ve read recently – in more than one place – that Putin has called Orange Man 3 times in the past 2 weeks
What is this crap “I read somewhere’ for God’s sake post some links otherwise It’s nothing but propaganda which it very well could be and probably is.
I read so much on the internet that I see things I don’t save, then they come up in conversation and I have no idea where I saw them.
I have also noticed that sometimes when I know I saw an article, I go searching for it and can’t find it again.
Where did you read that, CO? I see no reason that Putin would call the orange man.
Trump is more or less irrelevant at this point. He can influence some elections I guess, to get one RINO replaced by another, as if that’s going to save us. Who cares if he called Putin?
As bulldog so astutely and politely pointed out, it may be propaganda but really, is it so hard to use duckduckgo?
https://americascivilwarrising.org/if-biden-is-really-president-why-is-putin-calling-trump/
Maybe he will help him in his election bid, this time in a big way, not just a few ads like last time.
Sorry, it’s bluedog, not bulldog. Autocorrect sucks.
After this, I’m done being your search engine operator.
https://conspatriots.com/why-putin-calls-trump-if-biden-is-the-president/
Wow, so very convincing.
The misspelling of Putin’s name and the grammatical errors just add to the authenticity.
No, not contempt. At worst, a little pity. He’d probably schedule her for near the end of day – just to start to unwind early from work.
Maybe Heels Up could jump ship and get a job underneath Vlad in various and sundry positions.
It would be like a cobra in a terrarium with a gerbil.
Did you all see where “Joe Biden” just extended our Covid emergency for another year?:
https://en-volve.com/2022/02/20/did-you-hear-biden-just-secretly-extended-his-authoritarian-national-emergency-powers/
This means all the “swing states” can be ordered to send out mail-in ballots this November cause of “The Rona Emergency”.
“By default, then, the summit meeting will be game-set-and-match, Mr. Putin, only both parties will pretend that it’s some kind of moral victory for “JB,” while Russia gets exactly the terms it seeks: Nord Stream-2 will be completed and Germany will get natgas; there will be no additional stupid sanctions and get rid of the old ones; and the US will close up its CIA shop in Kiev and quit all the pointless antagonism. There will be peace in that corner of the world. And then, on cue, the West’s financial system will implode.” – OMG Dept.

It’s amazing how people who have access to the BEST medical care money can buy, get to live the longest. Rarely do you hear of a US President kicking the bucket in his 80’s. Piece of shit George Soros is well into his 90’s, so is Buffett. Klaus Schwab is well into his 80’s as well.
The traitor Chomsky, I think, is 93.
kissenger soon to be 98
They’re all old and seem to have no plans to transfer power. They represent the collapse party. On the bright side, I think they don’t want to really release a super deadly bug that would risk killing themselves off as well.
But on the not-so-bright side, I can easily see them releasing a super deadly “vaccine” that is a risk to those who accept it.
Kissinger is nearly 100 and still influencing policy.
I guess the good really do die young.
Or maybe you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain.
I was asked years ago to write a base 6 math word decoder wherein A=6, B=12, C=18.
It means nothing and will probably be denounced as propaganda but some results:

The Base 6 numerical equivalent of the word kissinger is 666
Would you like to analyze another word?

People would see Kissinger around town out in Kent up until a few years ago. He was pretty old and had somebody with him like elderly people do. They’d go to a pub on main street and I understand he was quite approachable, altho I think the locals mostly left him alone.
For Kissinger to have died a hero, he’d have to have been aborted.
Yes, the idea of the “Break Away” Civilization. Medical care that’s basically life extension. Bernie Madoff walked into prison looking decades younger than his 80 plus years. Someone started a fight with him and Bernie kicked his ass.
I suspect there have been advances in medicine regarding longevity we know nothing about. They still look pretty decrepit though.
buffett looks buff, for 90 ish.
the others look half dead, especially munger.

============
Buffett is 91. If he croaks he passes everything to his right hand man, Charlie Munger who is 98.
munger looks half dead. feeble. im not sure he can walk.
He (Munger) is periodically interviewed on CNBC and handles himself surprisingly well for someone that old.
Talking of Schwab, someone has helpfully put the clip of the Speaker in the Canadian Parliament ignoring a question about him together with the actual clip of Schwab bragging about infiltrating goverments.

im not sure if the reason is medical care.
And don’t forget Prince “wanna come back as a virus” Phillip who at 98 was later than most.
Rockefeller lived to be 97.
Well, my grandma and my great-aunt are 98 and 101 respectively and have avoided medical care all their life, always refused to go to the annual checkups, only doctor they see is the dentist maybe once every 5 years. Good genes and a healthy active lifestyle are much more important than medical care.
the last time I saw the the Federal Government trash the economy the way they have the past 2 years was from 1975 to 1982 and that was to silence social unrest. The kind we have been seeing here for the past 2 years.
It is all about distracting the people from the Great Reset.
interestingly, part of this plan is to get us all on digital currency. Central banks openly discuss it. It certainly seems like they are behind schedule on that one.
Cryptos are the training wheels for CBDCs.
Other areas where the controllers are behind schedule are automation and AI.
The wet dream of replacing deplorable truckers with self-driving trucks must be getting really steamy. Not going to happen.
Why not? Not enough time left before the collapse? Limitations to the technology? Or the politics of it are too extreme?
Jarek-
Yes, the available technology is limited versus the immensely complex problem of transporting cargo between dock A and dock B.
Also note that the human capital available to solve the problem is becoming much more limited due to the current intellectual climate and the quota programs installed in the university system.
Jarek, I’m going to go with ‘limitations to the technology’ for 100.
Another twist though, happening in Canada, is native truckers being replaced with foreign-born non-protesting truckers

The primarily White supporters of the Freedom Convoy argue that pandemic mandates infringe upon their constitutional rights to freedom. The notion of “freedom” was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness, as historian Tyler Stovall has argued. The belief that one’s entitlement to freedom is a key component of White supremacy. This explains why the Freedom Convoy members see themselves as entitled to freedom, no matter the public health consequences to those around them.
Washington Post
It finished by saying that Canadian freedom was based on the unfreedom of the Indians who were displaced. Like it or not, that part is true.

Yes, all foreign aid is illegal and immoral.
No, it’s THE Ukraine, Ukraine being a large agricultural region bridging Central Europe and Russia. Historically, Ukraine was never a distinct, independent country, but the place where the Russian nation was founded.

I had a new driveway poured last week and the cement truck driver told me they had all 13 trucks busy last year but only 10 are running full-time now. That’s a 30% drop in cement sales. This is Florida so it’s not due to bad weather.
There is a very big lumber yard that was always low on inventory last year. Now when I drive by each week the yard is pretty full. I see the same thing across the border at an Alabama sawmill.

USA on the verge of the greater depression.
When will our nation awaken to the fact that Mexico has been conducting asymmetrical warfare against us for decades, facilitated by a Leftist/globalist cabal within our government? If that recognition was made, we’d be sending our special warfare forces into Mexico to take-out the cartels that have operated for decades unhindered by Mexico’s government – nay, even abetted in doing so my Mexico’s government.
You seem to be a Buchanan acolyte.
If USA merges with Mexico, is it Pan American States? Thoughts,
El Paso is safe because it’s a major entry point for the cartels to bring drugs across.
They know better than to turn it into a violent shithole, which would draw the attention of the American government against them, leading to even more of a crackdown on their drug tunnels and transport routes.
That’s why they keep their street gun battles, bodies hung from bridges, murdering of enemies, reporters, cops, and politicians in Juarez, which is right over the border.
These are the murder rates for Juarez, but they probably don’t account for the bodies chopped up, disolved in acid, buried in the desert, and disappeared by the cartel.

prior to the head the body [headless] was left by a tree.

the popo ignored this and bingo, 10 days later the head was placed there.

I think you mean “abetted by the US government” backing their favored drug lords.
It all started after Mexico allowed the US back in, especially after NAFTA.
The more the US fights drugs, the more drugs flow. And do not forget the Fast and Furious campaign to get more guns flowing.
Ask the Columbians how allowing the US in to “fight drugs” works out for that purpose.
Presidents Day is part of BRA, black run america.
MLK got a day so 2 presidents holidays were combined, make way for Mark King day.
GEORGE FLOYD DAY next? That would pass easily right now. I’m surprised no one has proposed it yet.

Didn’t they make Juneteenth a national holiday? Yup. Woke spellchecker says so. 😉
no
Juneteenth is a National Holiday.
Columbus Day, Labor Day and President’s day are on the chopping block.
Next up: George Floyd Day.
During the Daytona 500 broadcast I was surprised to see a few token whites appear in the commercials, not many, but if you looked hard enough you could see one or two.

I remember when Election Day was a holiday for many. Schoolchildren had a half day off.
Notice that has been minimized.
That makes some sense. I’d much rather they make a big deal about it, even helping people to get to the polls, than have all these mail in votes, many of them fraudulent.
Put polls in the ghettoes, each with a fully armed lone soldier and police back up. And observers so the Democratic ladies can’t start up with the tricks. Pizza? Fine. No pizza boxes on windows, though. Extra cheese just as they like.
Election day is a national holiday here in ROK. They held in-person voting during the lockdown . Their contact tracing found no transmissions occuring at in-person polling places. The excuse of using COVID for ballot harvesting is fraud.
“I wouldn’t want to be them on that dreadful day….” Does “them” here refer to the Truckers or the Police? I’d say the truckers who have already been labeled violent Nazi Terrorists so the police will not feel guilty about killing their fellow citizens. The U.S. Government has already learned from the Canadians so this copycat convoy will be dealt with more efficiently. A convoy seems like a bad idea. If people who drive through the major metropolitan areas just take a break on the interstates or beltways during rush hours. Block a lane for 5 minutes and move on to protest the COVID madness, the government won’t be able to concentrate forces on protesters. With multiple simultaneous backups convalescing the authorities won’t be able to distinguish the sources from the victims. The sources have the mechanical/electrical problem plausible deniability if they accidentally stop their vehicles in view of the surveillance cameras.
My wife’s company quietly removed Good Friday as a day off and added Juneteenth. The point being not whether people thought it was a good idea and should be discussed but that it was just “decided” quietly by corporate management.
I am starting to fear Boxing Day. How long before the Hoodites mistake that for a holiday where you can break in and haul boxes out of stores???
Even David Icke falls on his knees before the loathsome communist, MLK. He actually believes King was for equality and not making a big deal about race.
Speaking of this, would someone please explain to me how the Black guy tried to assassinate four people about a week ago (one of them a candidate for mayor or Congress) and he was arrested then Black Lives Matter posted his $100,000 bail and got him released? Turns out he was close to Obama.
I thought their $60,000,000 was being investigated by the FBI?
More likely their $60 mil is being laundered by the FBI.
Truckers?
I wonder how many semi’s it would take to completely barricade every exit and intersection to the 495?
Looks like it might take only a couple dozen to shut down access to each airport … wonder what would happen then?
Is Biden flying back to Europe for the meeting with Putin? Those transatlantic flights have to be tough for a guy coming up on 80. Its curious, is it not, like a sickly Roosevelt at Yalta and Tehran, it’s always the Russian Czar who summons the US President, not the other way around.
He has a bed, there’s likely a timing consideration so as to avoid disrupting the body clock as much as possible.
Sickly Roosevelt…. I have read Stalin didn’t trust the demise of FDR as being natural and offered his personal physician. As it goes, takes one to know one, looked suspicious.
And… there’s Churchill whispering in Franklin’s ear not to trust the Soviet from Georgia. Trustworthy Winston?
So who stirs the pot? The Brits can’t let the Russians unite with the Germans. Play “the Colonies ” for all they can to keep “the Continent” unbalanced which works to their benefit.
The reality that Germany foolishly shut down many of its nuclear and coal power plants combined with the physical reality that Russia has by far the largest natural gas reserves on Earth means that a Russo-German alliance is inevitable.
Germany still has a lot of high-tech industry, knowledge, and human capital that would be very valuable to the Russians going forward.
The UK and US refuse to permit that, thus WW3 may also be inevitable.
Germany has always been tech smart.
Shut down all alternative to Baltic Sea wind energy, found out that was a failure, looked for the best way out to save face, and Russian natural gas was chosen politically.
France will win this philosophical battle with nukes.
Yes, this is not about Ukraine, it’s about Germany, always has been.
And yet it was the UK, under Churchill, that poured supplies into the USSR once the Third Reich invaded. Where was the USSR during the Battle of Britain? Playing footsie with Hitler while preparing to invade western Europe.
The same Churchill that bemoaned the Iron Curtain falling across Europe. An expansion of the communist sphere of influence guaranteed by USUK aid and Yalta.
Something smells bad at 10 Downing.
Russia didn’t propose the summit, France did.
Russia has not agreed to it yet.
Ii’m not sure they need to agree, which brings it to optics.
They also need not be hasty. They gain a lot by saying little and moving troops around within their country to give the propaganda script readers in the US something to feed to the masses of tv addicts.
Not necessarily. My mom who is 84 handles transatlantic flights much better than I do.

People have been talking about this crap forever but the world keeps turnin’. I’m not gonna get my panties in a bunch worrying about it. I don’t get how people can be so negative all the time. It will wear ya down.
I agree wholeheartedly, J.
I worry about none of it. Didn’t have much growing up so I see everything that has come my way now as gravy.
steppingup, this is so utterly charming, staccato futurist poetry dredged from all the buzz-lingo of the moment. Good on ya guy. A bottle of bubbly and an internet thrown in as a door prize.

He look like a poster child for the LBTGQ movement.
They set up the coming plan way back in 2009, when the US government bailed out the banks and then rewrote the rules so that next time the government doesn’t bail them out, depositors do.
The wheels of injustice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.
Ellen Brown has been sounding the alarm for a while.

I don’t think the war is over, though.
The US is very determined to shut down that Nordstream 2 pipeline, which is already finished and just waiting for final approval from Germany. Apparently there are palms well greased enough in Germany that the final approval to open it has been delayed.
The entire provocation in Ukraine has been aimed at forcing Germany to renounce their need for heat and power- a tough sell requiring quite a provocation indeed.
So I think we ain’t seen nothing yet.
“what was the war supposedly about?”
Absolutely nothing.
So, let’s keep yammering about it, eh?
~toktomi~
George Washington wrote this in his 1796 Farewell Address which applies to USA-Ukraine:
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
Washington further:
Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?
The Monroe Doctrine put it down in writing. All you world powers stay away from Trying to mess with America and our Western Hemisphere neighbors.
Look at WW1, created as a war between alliances.
Remember Washington also warned against political parties inside the US. Favoritism between ethnocentric groups divides instead of unites.
How about this? The presence of political parties here have made it necessary to create a unifying event every twenty years or so to keep the states together with a common cause.
War! To justify war, you have to create an enemy. To create an enemy, you have to play favorites.
Washington warned against war creation, and against the division of political parties.
What a different world this would be if the US had heeded his warnings.
Yes, good stuff. World War One, Two, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq were all against the principle Washington lays down. Our super patriots are ignoramuses, almost to a man.
The essential wars were the ones Washington fought in: Against the Indians, the French, and the British. Those were essential in founding the United States. At the level of our race and culture, the war against the Indians was the most important. This would still have been a great land if we had stayed united with Canada and part of the British sphere for a longer time.
“Our super patriots are ignoramuses”
Jarek,
A bit harsh. How about “deluded:? Or “misguided”?
Do not discount “youthful exuberance”….
Young men want to kill. I get it. That’s were the Hunger Games will come in. Is it not better that a few should die so that the People will live? In other words, better than starting a war just to satisfy their blood lust.
Also, Spanish American, Civil War, Mexican War. War of 1812 was fought for American Rights versus England thinking they could still control the US.
Think about the US government over the years if political parties had not formed.
A government that worked on problems without internal division. The only division would be the separation of the three parts of the government. They really did work for the people and not for a party. Their real function was protection of the whole from foreign interference. To do that, all foreign states must be treated the same.
??????
Is that even possible? Parties started developing within Washington’s administration, Jefferson vs. Hamilton.
Popular control with individuals versus Federalism, ie socialism with the elite controlling things, respectively.
We are still arguing the same points.
We tried to acquire Canada and were defeated by British/Canadian forces. The British then came down and burned Washington. Did we learn our lesson? Nope!
Janos, to be fair, we burned down York (Toronto) first. Not that it didn’t need burning down, seeing that snipers were firing on our troops from rooftops and windows.
what about USA s civil war?
A big part of the War of 1812 was crushing Tecumseh’s pan-Indian confederation. Negotiations over impressment of US sailors had been ongoing and the UK had even relented on that point, but the message didn’t get here in time. In short, we (except New England) wanted war with the UK to add Canada and the west to the family.
New studies of effectiveness of Ivermectin emerging every day. Peer-reviewed, large PSM study from Brazil finds, regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates. The study was published in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science. This medicine is proven over and over again to be effective for covid and flu like symptoms. You can get your ivermectin by visiting https://truthpharmacy.com
https://brownstone.org/articles/early-outpatient-treatment-for-covid-19-the-evidence/
Early treatment with IVM combined with other re-purposed drugs seems to be the best treatment for Covid.
Like the same treatment Trump got at Walter Reed in October 2020.
The CDC wouldn’t approve the same medications Trump got for the rest of us.
That was his saving grace, in the big mess he made of the covid “response”. He continually pushed for early treatment.
I know I’ve said this before, but there’s an effort afoot to rewrite history, so it’s best not to let falsehoods take root.
Trump probably did not let the Fauci troops within ten miles of his hospital room.
A really big thing to study is,
Is Ivermectin curative or palliative?
Does it kill viruses like antibiotics do bacteria, or does it control the effects of the host’s reaction to the virus to allow the immune system to catch up and stay ahead of the crud.
Information has been so blocked by the polity.
It has three mechanisms, John AZ. Dr McCullough covers it on Joe Rogan’s show, I’m pretty sure.
It interferes with the virus’s ability to enter the cell, for one, as I recall.
The ONLY things worthy of study is whether Covid is real in any way at all and whether the vaccines are as poisonous as they now appear to be. My standing take on these questions until proven otherwise is no and yes, respectively. But I’m not waiting for answers to either of these questions anytime soon. Fortunately for me, I don’t really give a shit either way. Just say no to the vaccines and go back to living normally. If you’re over 60 now, you’ve already lived all the years you’re “entitled to,” so no complaints
At Dale Carnegie sales training years ago, I learned to dig a hole for the customers/prospects, and then throw them a rope. Get good at it, and you’ll be rich, kid.
Wikipedia — Racketeering is a type of organized crime in which the perpetrators set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation to repeatedly or consistently collect money or other profit.
Rackets are basically all we got, everywhere. Right now, Putin’s protection racket is apparently tight and focused, bristling with lots and lots of pointy things that nobody wants to confront. Looks like he kinda knows what he’s doing.
Here in the West, the racketeers are working overtime digging holes and throwing ropes. But it feels like every day now another racket/racketeer is exposed, and soon nobody will ever again believe in those holes they’re pushing, so it all just evaporates — the Metaverse dissolves.
“Joe Biden” desperately needs a bonafide threat to keep the rackets going. Canada is a test run for tyranny. When nobody believes yer bullshit, yer finished, or you turn tyrant. I’m sick and tired of the rackets. I won’t stand for tyranny. What else we got?
The Metaverse has inferior graphics, like those of decades ago. Yet Zuck and Co want us to move into this cartoon? Fuck him and his servers, servants, shareholders, and the stakeholders.
Push people into a pit and call out, Are you alright? Sorry that you fell in. I’ll help you up – for a price.
Or that same, but using the more subtle technique of a trap covered over with branches and dirt, perhaps with stakes or needles at the bottom of it….
In the Metaverse the Zuckerborg will know your thoughts before you do, and he will sell them.
The pitchfork metaphor keeps coming up regarding what we have.
JTinMD: “I’m sick and tired of the rackets. I won’t stand for tyranny. What else we got?”
Nothing.
The biggest racket is U.S Politics.
Trump was elected by SOME precisely because he was a threat to BOTH parties, and to the scheme. He threatened to pull the curtain down on the entire kabuki theater. Many welcomed this bull in the Uniparty china shop. Implode it all, please.
This is also why both parties and the “deep state” institutionalized bureaucra-ats/cies worked so diligently to remove him. He was indeed a threat to the country. To the status quo. To the institutionalized deceit. To the national intelligence and police service hegemony, both nothing more than proxies for the utmost echelon of the elite ranks.
To the compromised and infiltrated fourth estate. “Fake news!” You don’t say?
He did expose much of it in his own bungling way. Often clueless to the service he was providing the American people. Letting them know how dirty, desperate and how scorched-earth they are willing to go to maintain control. Clumsily railroaded by social media and network interviewers. McConnell, a career politician since 1984, made it a point to act against him. His career of working across the aisle… to maintain THEIR careers was in jeopardy. Only the dimmest of wits in a dimwit Bourbon drenched state kept him in power.
This is why they will do anything to keep a populist from returning to the office.
This is why, now, lesser “democracies” and commonwealth countries are laying the groundwork for normative tyranny.
They see the threat at hand, and the contagion is not confined to the U.S.
It is now or never for them.
It is autocracy out-loud.
The charade is over.
You have been desensitized to it.
You have accepted it.
In fragments and in bits and pieces.
Injected
Ingested.
And with nowhere to turn and run for.
It is global game-over.
Look how four Republicans went and hid when Senator Ron Johnson tried to halt *Biden’s vaxx mandates.
How come the defection of one or two party members from their caucus makes something bipartisan.
The others are just playing a part to placate their “constituents”.
Lindsey Graham is one such senator. Performing enough theater, speaking enough lines, to appeal to the Trump leaning faction of his constituency.
To make it appear that he supports their causes.
That he supported Trump.
He supports only himself.
Being in power.
He has no shame in admitting this.
And voters have no shame in ignoring this, although knowing better.
We get the government masters, AKA politicians, we deserve.
Remember his number one buddy, John McCain prior to his death. Mr. Maverick.
C’mon you guys, how could you not “connect the dots” to realization that the Covid “thing” was just one tier of a multitiered psych-op now deployed by decades by China. Can’t you weigh the population equation? China ends up better off with reduction of its population to one fifth as opposed to how devastated such reduction would be to China’s competitors.
It has been claimed that Her COVID-infected Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, was previously fully vaccinated and boosted with safe and effective, untested, experimental, gene modifying mRNA COVID drugs. And it is also claimed that COVID-infected Prince Charles and Camilla were also max vaxed.
This situation should be for problem Big Pharma and governments. But it really isn’t because the official rebuttal is: “Their COVID infections would be much worse if they had not been fully vaccinated.”
On the other hand, do those in power actually receive genuine COVID drug injections? Whatever. It appears that COVID hysteria is now being replaced with war hysteria.
I remain convinced that thinkers have always been ambivalent regarding their ensuing failure to institute social controls.
They more than any others know full well we are in the collapse phase. So, why not try a hail Mary for the hell of it without really expecting a miracle?
We can all see where this is going, with Canada’s government engaging in open rebellion, the Russian gambit dying on the vine, and the launch of trumps new media platform.
Since this is an information war, imagine the power of revealing details about various state actors without the influnce of suppression and heavy censorship?
Yeah, it’s all over, but now the real fun is going to begin. Ah. What to do with the confluence of overshoot, depletion and degradation in a wide open free for all?
Crusher Muldoon was talking about the j-e-w-s and quoted “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house” which indicates an identity issue since the verse says nothing of j-e-w-s.
Whereupon Jarek attempting to clear things up saying, “No since Paul was sent to the Gentiles.”
Jews were Israelites but not all Israelies are Jews. Both nations were sent into dispersion among the Nations [ ethnos-gentiles ]. They lost their names and came to be known by many other monikers.
An example:
“Most Holy Father, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. It journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage peoples, but nowhere could it be subdued by any people, however barbarous. Thence it came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to its home in the west where it still lives today. The Britons it first drove out, the Picts it utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, it took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the histories of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all servitude ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken by a single foreigner.”
https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/Declaration
The Picts weren’t utterly destroyed. The Scots, a couple of Northern Irish clans, invaded and fought them for centuries, in league with the Britons I imagine, finally merging with them with a strategic marriage.
I thought you had finally put this mythology aside. You were making progress, at last admitting that Whites had to fight the natives to establish America. In other words, not just sail away when told us to get lost. With the help of the mythology, this should have never been an issue for you it would seem.
Your mythology [ interpretation ] of my beliefs seem to contradict the historical documentation I posted, but perhaps you are simply disagreeing with details as a way of denying the prophecies it fulfills.
As usual “straining out gnats and swallowing camels”.
Crusher Muldoon followed up with a mea culpa acknowledging his incorrect interpretation

This train is bound for glory, this train! It’s fitting and meet that the Convoy will be traveling east and not west. The rising sun is a sign of good life and good fortune.
I almost forgot. The CDC doesn’t want anyone seeing their data showing the vaccines don’t work, because people will use it to show vaccines don’t work:
The CDC is hiding data showing vaccines don’t work
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/the-cdc-is-hiding-data-showing-vaccines/comments?utm_source=url
Green Alba linked to a similar story last week where the Scottish government is doing exactly the same, withholding data because it could be used by ‘anti-vaxxers’. If the vaccines worked it would not be possible to twist the data in any way, it would speak for itself, which of course it does: the vaccines don’t work.
Three injections inside a year and people still buy the lie that they’re effective. The zombie apocalypse is not over.
A good 10 minutes here from Neil Oliver, Slugoon. I haven’t heard him for a few weeks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-836RNdDZKg
I hadn’t heard that in Canada they were/are seizing dogs belonging to truckers! What next?
He mentions the figures you’re talking about, that the Scottish government doesn’t want us to hear.
During the 4 weeks to 4 Feb. 22, 478 Scots died with covid on their death certificate – 417 of them (87%) were fully vaxxed.
So, no more published data. And Sam White’s case has just been dismissed by the police. Nothing to see here. I’m not going to bed happy. I’m going to bed imagining things I’m going to say in future that no-one is going to believe. Despite the brief (I believe) reprieve on face masks and what have you, tonight I’m going to bed thinking they’re winning.
During the 4 weeks to 4 Feb. 22, 478 Scots died with covid on their death certificate – 417 of them (87%) were fully vaxxed.
I think that says it all. What on earth happened to us? How did so many people become so utterly stupid and ignorant, from politicians continuing to push these obviously worthless ‘vaccines’, the media censoring any rational debate about them and the average man on the street believing every lie and going along with every last bit of BS from the start: lockdowns, masks, asymptomatic testing and continued jabbing.
This is the difficult part for me. At the end of the day we deserve everything we’re getting.
And now this while phenomenon will be transferred to the Russia Russia Russia narrative. It’s started already, in the media and the minds of the mindless masses.
Do people forget Afghanistan, or the bombing of Iraq into the last century, twice, once on a total and deliberate lie, regime changes or attempted changes in Syria, in Libya… and now all I’m going to hear from my countrymen and the MSM is ‘Russia!’ like they know or care anything for Ukraine. Fuck them all.

I’m on Truth Social!
As the only Member of Congress to have had my personal
@Twitter
account banned, I understand what millions of conservatives have gone through having their personal freedom of speech stolen from them by Big Tech for not parroting the approved messaging.
Jarek: Trump’s version of twitter launches today. Anglin says ho hum. No criticism of the usual suspects will be allowed, otherwise it wouldn’t be allowed to sold by Apple, etc.
A number of conservative folks on the blog hammer on Trump constantly. Is he really so repugnant to you that you join the RINOs and join the enemy, the Democrats?
Trump controls the Tea Party, Deplorables side because everyone else, with few exceptions, are a bunch of Deep State supporters that hate him with a passion because he wants to undo a hundred years of Federal grift.
So far, there is no one else that will put “Drain the Swamp” at the center of their dogma.
And then not do it, filling his cabinet with Swamp creatures.
Only two sides to every issue: yes/no, black/white, good/bad, pleasure/pain. And then, just by coincidence, there are only two parties! One is good and the other is bad.
You buy into this (today). I don’t. Maybe tomorrow you will see the light again. And then forget again….
He was railroaded. There is plenty of info. out there on this.
He also had a pretty impressive list of accomplishments despite having practically every denizen of Capitol Hill, his own admin., the media, and every half-wit on the street mocking him to feel better.
There is a reason they stopped at nothing to get him out.
I listened to an interview with Mark Crispin Miller today, where he suggested that the Trump election was rigged by the same people who rigged the Biden election, and that the entire point of the Trump election was to create TDS, as a precursor to what we’ve seen over the last two years.
He pointed out that the Trump people themselves didn’t expect to win and hadn’t prepared a victory speech (I don’t remember – it’s a lifetime ago).
Anything is possible, but too many things that came afterward make no logical sense in that context.
To me Trump’s presidency remains a good thing, despite what has happened since. He exposed much to the masses, but at the same time, as MCM suggests, a psychological experiment in propaganda the likes of which has never been seen traumatised the bovine masses to the point that they now yearn for the transhumanist podlife of the Anal Schwab.
Without Trump, there would have been no Great Awakening — at least not now. I still cannot fathom what the future will hold if we fail to stop or at least greatly set back this horror show.
Wow. That’s deeply cynical, GA.
Its Machiavellian
“I still cannot fathom what the future will hold if we fail to stop or at least greatly set back this horror show.”
I agree. And here in the UK, while Boris is purportedly cancelling restrictions, they’re still hanging on to the surveillance infrastructure (naturally) for the next time (they’ve said so – it isn’t me saying that) and the government ghoul scientists behind the podia are muttering about further and more dangerous variants. It’s endless. Anyone who thinks this hiatus is a return to normal needs their head read. These people don’t mind two steps forward and one step back – in some places anyway – in others the boot remains firmly on the neck.
France is making much of relaxing restrictions, but it’s only for those with vaxx passes. Those without can’t go anywhere, except to buy food or medicines, although they seem to be able to walk the streets – for now.
Green Alba I think that Mark Crispin Miller makes a convincing case that the 2016 election was stolen, but I have a different idea as to why.
Just a month or so before the election, the NY Police confiscated the computer of that pervert Weiner, married to Hillary’s BFF Huma.
Apparently in a file called “Insurance File” there was a video of a crime against a child (committed by Hillary and Huma) so horrific that it made the officers who saw it vomit.
They rebelled and threatened to make it public, so TPTB put Trump in as a quick fix.
Then the cops were suicided.
And Trump got the full monty attack from the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda, what we fondly call the ”free press”.
And now here we are, ready to go to war with Russia, exactly where we would have been in 2017 if the Hildebeast had been elected.
And do not forget he was going to be a lame duck 2nd term. He would have done serious damage to the Deep State.
Just like W should have done.
He’s part of the Kushner crime family. Probably couldn’t get out even if he wanted to – and thus part of Global finance thru them even more directly than thru his own endeavors. Some decisions are irrevocable.
Yes, he kept the swamp creatures and I heard Trump himself say that we needed more legal immigrants. I may vote again, but really don’t know why I should. If i vote I am sure it will be as all the times before, forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.
I fail to see the problem with legal immigration. We have been through the process twice, both in Europe and the States.
A person entering the country legally has already taken a rather large step toward demonstrating their desire to be a productive and supportive member of society.
It is rather the illegal immigration that should be curbed.
You might not think that, NIght Owl, if you were one of the people forced to train their h1b replacements.
Or a young person who went to college to get a STEM degree, as advised, who is unable to get a job because h1b visa holders are cheaper.
Paula,
What is the connection. A corporation deciding to hire someone cheaper than you is simply capitalism.
I do not condone it across the board, as I fully understand what it means for the individual getting the boot, but I don’t see how one could attack legal immigration as the problem.
The immigration process is not easy, nor is building a life in a foreign land. I can say from experience that it is a lot harder than finding a new job in your home country.

“The Toronto Star barely even reported today on the weekend dispersion of truckers in Ottawa — like it never happened… a kind of national hallucination.”
As far as I know, No one on the planet reported on it.
Here’s what the Truckers in Canada or here in America need to do and if they will do it, The threat alone will shake the very foundations of our federal government. And the foundations of the Canadian Government.
And, there’s not one damn thing the US or the Canadian government can do to them. Follow along with me.
A. Right off the bat they need to designate a spokesman. After they do that, they need to decide what they are going to do pertaining to driving. Making deliveries.
Decide if they are going to stop, stop ? making deliveries to all federal / state / county buildings / offices / all military bases.
Or, stop making them nationwide and not Just to governmental offices / military bases. But, making deliveries to all places. ALL, ALL PLACES.
(my wife and I keep ourselves prepared here where we live in NW Montana at home for 3 months of food / fuel. Meat alone, Lord only knows how many pounds of Elk / Mule Deer / Moose / Antelope /Wild Turkeys. And, in the bottles, ? ?.
Ducks & Geese. We have 3, full size freezers. Out in one of our garages. And a 8×10 room that holds all the jars of food she Cans. And she absolutely loves to bake.
So she hasn’t bought a loaf of bread / biscuits/ pies / cakes, In God knows when. she has different flours for baking and she buys them in bulk. One of the places I know of well, is this place. http://www.bobsredmill.com/shop.html )
This they would have to make a decision on. If it was left up to me??
I would call the shot on stop all deliveries nationwide. And, not just to governmental buildings / offices / military bases. .
B. Then they need to pick a DAY / DATE / TIME. WHEN THEY WILL STOP ? STOP ? STOP DRIVING. NATION-WIDE. PARK-IT!
I would say give the country a 2-week notice so folks can get stocked up. It wouldn’t take long, not very long at all before the government was given a dead-ass-serious-wake-up-call.
when they will stop driving nationwide. Stop ? stop ? making deliveries of any and all things to either A, ALL FEDERAL / STATE / COUNTY BUILDINGS / OFFICES.
Or, stop making all deliveries of any and all things. Food, number 1. Fuel, number 2. And then, right on down the line
AND, ONCE AGAIN, , THERE IS NOT A DAMN THING IN THE WORLD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN DO TO THEM. TO FORCE THEM TO DRIVE.
What are you say next the best majority of Americans don’t even know. But the drivers called “Owner Operators”, number in the hundreds of thousands.
And the number one state that has the most “registered”, Owner Operators is North Dakota. you don’t have to believe me, by all means look it up.
And the vast majority of “owner—operators”,are long-haul drivers. Not regional. Ergo, they drive Coast—to—Coast. East to West. Vice Versa. And, North to South. And, Vice Versa.

People on dialisis 3 days a week will die in about a month without treatment. There are a lot of supplies that are refilled every daily [ they dont have storage ] . Other supplies to clinics and hospitals are also life and death decisions.
So we kinda g o with [#1] ?
That doesn’t mean truckers have to do it. Let someone else, like the useless police, get of their butts and go ferry supplies.
Nurses who have time for Tok Tok videos have time to drive.
How about some of these NGOs?
Your community hospital used to stock about three months’ worth of supplies. Then, administration learned they could save a few pennies with Just in Time ordering. Now it’s a weeks worth of supplies or less.
Yes the just in time delivery mode is one of the stupidest ideas ever imagined. Critical supplies should be ordered in bulk and warehoused to avoid catastrophic consequences.
Being a blue collar front line hospital worker, I once worked in hospital stores and we had our warehouse on site in the sub basement. Our supervisor boasted that we could supply the hospital fully for four months. Now, everyday I scramble to find supplies for my unit in the emergency department. I asked the hospital stores stock keeper and they tell me everything arrives by truck, one small disruption and wow chaos descends.
Our census is always like at 100 to 105%, and yesterday our waiting room breaks more records. I have been on the job almost 41 years now, and never have I seen this.

Is the implication being made that the events at the Maidan Square in 2014 had no bearing on the people of Donbas. Where is the mention of outlawing the language of an indigineous people? Where is the shelling of the peoples of Donetsk and Luhansk in violation of a United Nations ratified treaty and ceasefire mentioned.
“Its easternmost Donbas region has rebelled against administration by Kiev.”
“mindfuckery” indeed.
The administration installed via coup d’etat organized funded and carried out by a foreign nation?
People whose very life is in danger from artillery shelling, who have been targeted by inciting scum to go on the rampage are rebelling against an administration? Human beings are just pawns in the game?
I guess you are correct, “Anything goes and nothing matters”. Have a cookie

The bitch isn’t back – she was never really gone.
I think the Hildebeast has to be at the helm for war with Russia. Not that she has any agency, she is a puppet like the rest.
I’ve come to the conclusion that our demagogues are not put in-place to set or even carry out policy. They are put in-place to manipulate our emotions and steer the irrational, emotional tide of the country. Policy has already been determined by the real masters.
For example:
Trump’s job was to sow division, to prepare the ground for “Covid”, as well as pitting us against each other and leading to further demonization of “the Deplorables”. Consider how the agenda of terrorist groups like Antifa and Burn, Loot ‘n’ Murder was propelled forward as a reaction to “Trump”.
The Big Guy’s job is to sow confusion. In the midst of the swirling tumult we cling in desperation to whomever we “trust”. Forget facts and reason, we navigate by feelz now.
The Hildebeast’s job will be to sow hysteria. Hysteria that screams for death and destruction to be rained down upon the evil-doers outside, but especially inside, our borders.
Everything seems to be suspect B, but I can’t agree on Trump’s job being to sow division, even though more division has occurred as a result of his election. His election was almost totally unexpected, with the EC nullifying Hillary’s almost 3 million vote plurality.
I would say that Antifa and Burn, Loot ‘n’ Murder were a reaction to Chauvin and Floyd, with the Left seizing a great opportunity to bring about the division and upheaval that they desired.
Trust, of course, is a big factor. Hopefully we use more facts and reason to gather it up.
“with the EC nullifying Hillary’s almost 3 million vote plurality.”
Only a complete idiot with no understanding of why the Electoral College exists would post such a thing.

Kind of awkward getting in the middle of some serious Trucking General Strike planning with the same old train story. But the truckers still have the last word with the branch rail lines rebuilt: “Pick Up & Delivery” is still the trucker’s ace in the hole..
Considering AI trucking locked in the mind of Gates/Soros & Co., already solid state controls on most all trucks owner operated or fleets, it still fits Daniel Chapter 4 V15 NIV to proceed with all due haste the branch line railways rebuild. Food distribution enhancement can be more robust with the old rail links into farm districts rebuilt. Railways are more easily designed as a tow-tech but effective transport mode relying 100% on Made In America components & equipment.
The world system is ineffective going forward in context of exclusive American rubber tire ability to stave off famine in multiple crises War/Weather/WMD coming through the decade. Massive food handout lines early in the Covid sage were a word to the wise to encourage broadening national transport mode choices & capacities. See spv dot co dot uk and obtain all time US rail map atlas for your respective region. OES planners?
I will venture to say the fraternity of truck drivers, heart of USA transport, might be best situated to move the branch line RR initiative? Choose yout line on the map and work with “American Short Line Regional Railroad Association” to facilitate and prioritize scope & timing of features in your locale. Main rr trunk connections are the difficult aspects of engineering, and will require stretches of parallel track to consolidate number of actual connecting junctions.

Looks like Putin has formally recognized the breakaway Donetsk and Lugansk republics as independent from Ukraine, so now no “invasion” is necessary. Just military assistance as requested. Pot, kettle, black, NATO. The tables have been turned. Brandon will no doubt be throwing a hissy fit somewhere as we speak. Poor old guy. His shit legacy just got a whole lot shittier. Ain’t “democracy” a bitch!
It will be interesting to see how they spin this.
You are right that their heads are probably spinning.
It’s not that I want war, but the satisfaction of knowing that our evil overlords are not getting their way makes me happy.
I love it. Hologram Joe left with egg on his old overly-tightened face.
Hahahahha!
Putin has been a judoka since 11 and has practiced sambo since the age of 14.
Apparently he holds a black belt in judo and has written a couple books on the subject.
His moves in the breakaway republics are the geopolitical equivalent of a well-executed judo throw.
He proves his superiority in intellect and strategy over and over, embarrassing the west. This is probably a large part of why they hate him so much.
Good points, Legend.
No need for a messy, destructive invasion using armor and infantry that would wreck whatever infrastructure remains in Donbas; a few adroit political moves (political judo) is all that’s necessary, apparently!
Still, 150,000 troops, copious artillery and an Armored Division poised on the border doesn’t hurt, but lends a sense of urgency to the situation.

I have heard so many theories on what Putin wants in the last two weeks.
How about one more:
Annex or conquer E. Ukraine to the Dneiper River.
Hit Kiev hard and withdraw to strong defensive positions east of the river.
Let NATO have the shell that is left.
Biden is not even a pawn in the current chess game.
Whatever else his goals are, JAZ, I think embarrassing the US and ending the US dictated “rules-based order” tops the list. Ukraine, is just a relatively small, albeit still crucial, part of that. He’s also driving a stake in the heart of NATO, which is nothing more than a tool for rabid US Zionist led aggression. He’s essentially putting a joint Russian-Chinese stamp on the 21st century and closing the book on all the US-led Post WWII 20th century bullshit. We should all be glad for that, as that’s at the root of ALL our current ills.
Why can’t you take him at his word, John? Too used to your own lying rulers?
The US backed a Nazi coup in Ukraine in 2014 and the Nazis have been harassing and killing Russians since then.
But that’s OK? Must be some other reason for Putin to move to protect them?
You are definitely too used to American disregard for human life. You can’t even imagine that other people might want to protect children living in basements from US bombs sold to the Ukrainian nazis.
As Trump would say….sad.
Paula is rightt!!
The US created a crisis.
If God is going to judge the nations of the world, the USA has much to atone for.
Roasting German and Japanese civilians, nuking the Japanese, all the Vietnamese deaths, both sides, precipitated by the US involvement, the tens of thousands in the Middle East and the millions of displaced. The “regrettable collateral damage”…..
I’m not a pacifist. The USSR was a problem. But it imploded. Peacefully.
We can’t right the past, but we don’t need to cause more problems. The military industrial complex is the biggest waste and has caused incalculable damage… to Americans and the US economy!
The US created the crisis. EvenTrump, even as he was framed in the phony Russiagate, expelled many Russian diplomats.
The US created the Ukraine crisis. The US plans to foment and prolong it, probably.
NATO should have disbanded in 1992.
If they can do so without taking big losses, the Russians should take it all. They can trade their energy with China and India. The Russian people are much less candy a$$es than Americans.
I live in a country that had a lot going for it, and started to unravel after JFK was shot. A republic—populated by too many ignorant, complacent people who blithely vote for the interventionist politicians who fomented the problem in Ukraine.
If the West cuts off Russia, it will hasten the demise of the dollar as reserve currency, which has enabled Americans to live beyond their means.

I am guessing 10% because there is a lot of deadwood….Talk is cheap but I like it a lot better than action.

What realistic political action is possible to quell the histrionic verbiage emanating from the dispossessed class? Could Congress DO anything believably helpful? I am incensed that they have not already called hearings to “get to the bottom” of this public health totalitarianism. Confusion just goes on and on.
My yahoo feed today looks like the opening of a new gambit. There is an admission of much increased cardiac disease and death. It is attributed to “this terrible virus”. We have long covid affecting the previously infected gnawing at their cardiac health. Is this true? Is it virus or is it vaccine? It is terribly important to maintain a significant control group of the unvaccinated.
And I see the cheery news about Australia finally reopening after 2 years to international travelers and banned Nationals. Everyone that is fully vaccinated is welcome to come or return home. I looked up “fully vaccinated” on the government website and it means an approved series from an approved vaccine. Definitions to be modified later as necessary…
Rocketdoc
“We have long covid affecting the previously infected gnawing at their cardiac health. Is this true? Is it virus or is it vaccine?”
I think they have deliberately muddied the waters by insisting (against all the genuine science) that the covid recovered still get vaxxed. Not to mention that if there’s a depop agenda (which I think there is) they won’t want the covid recovered to miss out on an early exit.
So they’re doing studies purporting to show that the covid recovered risk heart attacks, but without differentiating between vaxxed and unvaxxed.
We know from the data (presented by McCullough and Bridle, among others, that the covid recovered are at 4 times the risk of a serious adverse reaction to the vaxx compared to those who haven’t had covid. As I’ve mentioned before, a friend of mine had covid, later got vaxxed, then had a heart attack out of the blue a month or so later (not reported anywhere as it hasn’t occurred to either her or the medics that there was a connection – and why would it, since it’s all censored?).
The other thing we don’t know, because they haven’t allowed generalised early treatment of covid, is whether long covid would even be a thing if early treatment had been routine. If treated early, the disease shouldn’t even get to the stage where heart and lungs are affected.
I know some people don’t even think long covid exists, but I know people who’ve had it, so I don’t doubt it exists. But it may have been entirely unnecessary, like most of the deaths.
The real bummer is that we do not know the answer to any of your questions.

If the s protein is the culprit with the inflammation problems,
Adding s proteins per vaxx after s proteins from a Covid attack is logically. STUPID.
Logically, if s proteins are the culprit to all the immunity problems, that should have been found out way back in 2020. If the immune system overreaction was do to s proteins as I believe it was,
The damned s proteins should never been the antigen selected for the vaxx.
If true, this is one of the dumbest medical decisions ever made.
If it was on purpose as some suggest, oil up the guillotine.
system overreaction was do (sic) to s proteins – JAZ

Hello JohnAZ
My wife’s erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) went from 26 (has been normal for years) on 07/16/2021 to 83 on 02/02/2022, and having released her just prior, her rheumatologist reactivated treatment after seeing this result.
On 02/11/2022 my wife was having acute pain above her hip (been having migrating pain in this regard for a couple of years) and asked to go to the clinic. The NP was concerned about a kidney stone so ordered imaging. After numerous tests and imaging, the assessment is that her breast cancer has been reactivated as cancer in her liver (posterior segment lesion) and back bones (up to this point, I thought her breast cancer had been cured).
I am aware of discussions by Dr. Malone and Dr. Bridle concerning the overreaction of the immune system to attack the spike proteins in various organs, and find it interesting that none of the medical professional feel that there is any relation between the cancer and her current ESR result.
In January, she had a bad cold? (she has not been vaccinated), and was coughing hard for the better part of the month.
Is anyone aware of unconventional treatment for stage 4 breast cancer of the liver as a consequence of covid, or do we just go with the flow and pick one of the conventional treatment
options?

anmariwakaranai, thank you for expressing concern and your suggestions.
“Is it virus or is it vaccine?” I know! I know!
So-called covid19 infections and deaths went up when quacksining started.
Question answered.
Mary
Consider this.
Vaxx hits people sensitive to the s protein just as much as the Virus itself.
Only a percentage of the population gets Covid. Only a percentage of those are super sensitive and have problems.
The vaxx is like introducing all jabbed to a dose of s proteins, ie like giving them the crud itself. A percentage of those will be supersensitive to these s proteins. Adverse effects.
Add part B to Part A.
You just inspired a neologism: “Quacksination”!
As in: “Oh shit – I got quacksed!”
Getting the vaxx is like being in quacksand?
“let me stick it in you or you lose your job” — Harvey Swienstien
The big difference (pun intended) is that unlike Sweinstein, Fauci doesn’t care whether you’re male or female, young or old, he wants to stick it in everybody. In fact, I’ve read he even wants to stick it in fruits and vegetables.

RocketDoc, Sen. Ron Johnson did hold hearings, with some really great testimony and truth telling.
They have been suppressed.
They were five hours long, but all I could find is this part.

There are two separate sessions. The 3-hour session you linked to is the first one in November that Sen. Johnson called a ‘Round Table on Federal Mandates’ (can be found by searching that term). It’s mostly vaxx victims, including doctors/surgeons who can’t practise any more).
The 5-hour session was broader and took place in Jan. or Feb. It can be found by looking up ‘Senator Johnson hearing – a Second Opinion’.
The full 5-hour session is here:
https://rumble.com/vt62y6-covid-19-a-second-opinion.html
I think it starts properly about 40 minutes in. Pierre Kory is about an hour after that, talking about ivermectin. I’m going to have to start again from the beginning as it was a while ago that I started listening to it and I didn’t get that far in. I’ve watched the full 3-hour session with the victims in the Federal Mandates Round Table hearing.

“They have been suppressed.”
Clearly, they have not been suppressed.
Serious scientists and doctors (including doctors and surgeons so incapacitated by the jabs that they can’t work) have been described as ‘conspiracy theorists’ in the MSM, after participating in the hearings. The brainwashed therefore listen to the MSM and don’t listen to the testimony.
That is ‘being suppressed’.
As witnessed in the hearings, ordinary victims of the jabs can’t get help because doctors won’t see them or take them seriously. They are afraid for their jobs if the acknowledge vaxx harm.
When they form support groups online, those support groups are deleted by Big Tech.
That is ‘being suppressed’.
I do sometimes wonder what your motivation can be for fighting the truth so hard, RL. There are worse things in life and death than accepting that you were duped and will pay a physical price for your misplaced trust, as I will. One of the worse things is to go down defending the psychos who did it to you.
You are the only one left on here suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Yet you still claim to be the only one who knows what is (not) going on. It is strange, from a psychological perspective.
It really is strange.
He’s one of those sitting there with his eyes and ears plugged, like an ostrich with his head in the sand.
His only refutations are “nah-ahhh” because he has nothing else.
Pro tip: Dictionaries are very useful.
If a white person says the word “nigger”; will the crops fail and the sun refuse to shine?
How did a word with no legal definition become so dangerous and frightening?
What century are we in?
Until Whites are allowed to say this holy word without repercussions, we will remain second class citizens.
Do you distinguish between the ga and the ger?
@thwack
100% AGREED.
A word is just a word nothing more.
Yeah he really believes that, just MLK believed in equality with no talk of race, right?
tell that to the armand? aubery? 3, convicted of hate crime or is it hate speech?
In order to even the playing field, for years I have been trying to find a pejorative term that makes white people flip out. Honkie? Yeah, yell that out the window of your Hoop de Ville while jammin’ to the Theme from Shaft. Cracker? Down south they eat that up. Up north they slap ya on the shoulder, “nice try”. Ofay? Not very insulting when you have to explain the insult – even worse when you can’t explain it.
But if I say “nigger”, my crops will fail, and the Sun will turn its back on me.
I think “white trash” may trigger some white folks. But that’s just a guess.
“Racist” worked for a long time, but it got overused.
So now they’re trying “white supremacist”, but honky is on to that trick now.
This honkey don’t play dat, nope.
Racist is an accusation akin to “witch” that can lead to the destruction of a White person’s life. You don’t get that? Or you think it’s funny or no longer the case?
If you want some notion of infinity, calculate how many times these two have used this slur against other Whites. One of them used it against me the other day, but now she’s talking like she’s too cool for school.
You see Black, whether they use it or not, they believe it. So why wouldn’t they use it? Maybe you believe it too. So, to wit: Is it wrong for a White person to prefer his or her own race? And given the conflict inherent in multi-racial societies, desire a mono-racial one?
Prefer it all you want, but hate is hate.
And human nature is human nature. If you don’t prefer your own group, something is deeply wrong with you. And Blacks slaughtered the Whites in Haiti and Jefferson predicted the same thing would happen here if they weren’t sent away. We’ll never have peace as long as we have to live with them.
“Racist”, “White Supremacist”, and “White Nationalist” have been thrown at us Honkies (I’m old fashioned and I like funk – well, some of it) for long enough, and by folks way up the ladder above us, that a lotta cracker-honkie-ofays that I know have decided to proudly – if at first reluctantly – adopt those titles, no offense taken.
“White Trash”? Even folks that aren’t white trash now aspire to the title.
Jaros, I think you are approaching the point I was trying to make by coming around from the other side. We white people may not get offended by what we are called, but we sure as hell will be damned for what others label us.
Well, as usual, Jared answered his own question with his usual answer.
I answered your question, which I took literally.
White people did used to really care if they were called ”racist”.
Those days are over.
who iz ‘Jared’?
You said the opposite above. Just as Islander was 100% sure Putin wouldn’t use military force. This is Woman – always trying to curate their own lives in front of others. Always getting it wrong, always adjusting their facebook accounts, wiping away relationships that are “history”, etc.
Always pretending to have always been on the Winning Side! Most of you would be singing the Horst Wessel Lied in six months.
And of course eternally unable/unwilling to ever admit that you were wrong…..
Whites are officially second class citizens as per US Law and you three saw fit to joke about it and even thought that things are improving or something since we didn’t mind being called racists anymore. Grotesque foolishness all around. The most out of touch conversation I’ve ever seen here – and that’s saying a lot.

“If a white person says the word “nigger”; will… the sun refuse to shine?”
Thwack,
If uttered in the wrong venue, the answer is obvious.
Yo mama so white, old, and racist that she keeps asking you to track down her runaway slaves.
You can blame the people of Canada for their abject subservience. Remember, these are descendants of British subjects who didn’t have the stones to stand up for their rights as Englishmen, as their fellow colonists were busy doing, so turned tail and fled north. Apparently this repression by the pig Trudeau is perfectly fine with most Canadians. I hope they prove me wrong in the coming weeks, but I’m not counting on it.
Might just be a rumor but over on mewe someone said no confidence vote, trudy resigns Wednesday and Mrs Nutsi steps up.
If so, out of the frying pan …
How did those rigs just vanish over the weekend, O Canada?
“All according to plan…”
Cue video of Montgomery Burns tapping his frail, bloodless fingertips together.
Since you mentioned it I actually have a greivance to file against Canada as well. As a descendant of the Acadians I’m sure there is a beautiful plot of land with an awesome spectacular house with an open floor plan just waiting for me to claim in Nova Scotia. Or do I need to wear blackface to properly apply?
SSL, you’re a Cajun? Do you speak any Cajun French? A few summers ago — before Covid travel restrictions — we had a few Frenchy summer guests (from the Cannes, Nice area); they wanted to see Montreal, about 8 hours north of here. So they drove up with my wife. Everybody got a big charge out of the conversation back and forth and the different dialects. They were able to communicate OK tho.
These Frenchys themselves are an anomaly; during the Spanish Civil War the govt moved thousands of girls and young women to safe havens outside of Spain. Some stayed in their host countries after the war ended in 1939, so these relatives are 3 generations removed from that and now are full Frenchys.
My dad’s side of the family is Cajun. I am not really able to speak it but can understand some words and phrases. I learned standard Parisian French in high school but wouldn’t say I could speak it either lol. But my ancestors can be traced back to different locales in Nova Scotia according to some documents that my dad showed me one time.
SSL you need to go up to Nova Scotia and claim what’s yours.
I really should but then I am not sure if I want to live in the Great White Cuba of the North??
I hear you, SSL.
But goddamit, let’s start calling that Maritime Province by it’s rightful name — Acadia!
Who’s with me?
“Who’s with me?”
We goin’ back to Port Royal ‘Heck? Ok, I’m in. Been kind of a family tradition for the last 400 years or so…
If the first name of your polity is “New” (even if fancied up with some Latin – e.g., “Nova”), you don’t have enough imagination to be creatin’ new states.
Look out Acadia – we’re comin’ to set you free!
Well, a lot of the Loyalist Canadians didn’t cross the border after the war, once they finally admitted that, “yeah, our side lost”. Good thing they did too, they raised almighty hell with their Native American buddies in the backcountry.
If ya wanna blame some Canucks for the Rebel failure to take Canada, blame the Catholic Canadiens. Their fear of hot-headed Protestant rebels from south of the St. Lawrence, as well as Governor Carleton’s timely passage of the Canada Act in 1774, kept the Quebecois loyal to their oppressor beyond the big water – for a couple hundred years anyway.
If ya wanna blame someone for the Rebel failure to take Canada in 1775-76, you can’t do better than to blame the New York army. Ran away when their general (Montgomery) was killed, leaving one star-crossed Colonel to save the invasion. Yup, that’d be Benedict Arnold – the guy who saved the War of Independence twice in the next 2 years.
By 1812 those Anglo-Canucks had learned to love Big Brother and rejected the second attempt of the war-mongering yahoos from south of the Lakes to liberate them.

The Saker is jubilant. Islander, no doubt, is confused. She thought the Russians were good! And that Putin was a pacifist or something…..
A measured response by a responsible man. He doesn’t want all of the Ukraine (this spelling is more important than ever since it is not a viable nation), just the Russian part of it.
If Macron backs Putin up, the United States will be utterly humiliated as it deserves to be. Paula will like this since she is anti-American. Her philosophy is: Not my country, it’s always wrong. BRH’s is: My country right or wrong. Mine is the corrected version of BRH’s: My country right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; if wrong, to be put right.
HInt: The smart set gets its Russia news and analysis from The Saker blog. Not Yahoo.
https://thesaker.is/russian-recognizes-the-ldnr-republics-and-sings-treaty-with-them-open-thread/
Oops, looks like I was right. Two new nations are born, backed by Russian might.
Islander is even more confused that I thought….
Or Mr. smooth.
Islander, also Moon of Alabama.
And if ya got a taste for the hard stuff, there’s Geopolitica.ru with straight up, unfiltered Dugin.
No, my country is ruled by evil crooks and criminals. I am not anti-American, I just don’t identify with my oppressors.
That is the mindset of a slave, and I am not a slave.
Don’t forget: America was racist from the very outset – just like every other nation. You are a malignant and malicious idealist without the wit to see the “just like every other nation” part.
Whoops, posted in wrong place.
Here it is again, From the horse’s mouth, a historic declaration—and history lesson:
http://thesaker.is/putin-makes-a-statement-following-the-security-council-meeting-on-donbass-recognition/
I have conducted a detailed analysis of the overrarching situations and have concluded that indeed mind over matter is a thing. If we allow them to the Putins and the “Joe Bidens” and the Justin Trudeaus of the world will occupy our minds and our energies. Klaus Schwab said that Putin is basically a WEF asset. So these are friends playing chess or mortal enemies? It all seems convenient and coordinated. All three for example are uber wealthy dictators so they all have more in common with each other than they do with their respective peoples or you or me. If every body woke up tomorrow and told them “you are nothing to me I’m on strike!” they would crumble. I know. It’s not going to happen. But it could, it is possible and it should be a goal.
Did you or Jarek actually listen to/watch Putin’s address to the Russian people?
I think not.
Here it is, with English voice-over:
http://thesaker.is/putin-makes-a-statement-following-the-security-council-meeting-on-donbass-recognition/
He lays it out all there, doesn’t he? Much of it’s (NATO expansion) not even controversial, but simply observations of facts. Global Capitalism’s literally running out of gas, and the Zionist pricks in DC and London think it all belongs to them. Like to see Brandon even try to speak like this. He’d die trying right on camera and still make a horse’s ass out of himself.
Ugghh it is 58 minutes but I will give it a go today till I can’t take it anymore. So what are you saying? Putin is not a dictator? You know, a dictator can be good or a dictator can be bad. So an initial charge of dictator doesn’t necessarily mean a condemnation per se.
Can’t listen to a very important 58-minute address so as to actually inform yourself?
Then your comments ARE bloviation, which is just what they sounded like.
You didn’t think Putin was going to do anything. You thought he was just going to maintain the non-viable status quo. You got it wrong.
No, I said Putin was not planning to invade the Ukraine.
And he has not done so.
Indeed, Islander.
He always said that he would not invade Ukraine, but that he would protect Russians in Donbass.
And that is what they are doing.
@Islander, wait for it – Jarek will be demanding an apology soon, even though he got it all wrong. LOL.
Klaus Schwab said that Putin is basically a WEF asset.
That’s possible, but of course Schwab would say that wouldn’t he? Any port in a storm, as they say. Look for all manner of rats to be abandoning ship in the coming days, and doing and saying anything they can to save their flea-ridden carcasses. The propaganda war against Russia is just getting warmed up. Look for Russian sympathizer witch hunts to begin here in the good old “land of the free.” Maybe even the long-awaited false-flag cyber attack that they’ve been warning us about for so long to shut down any inconvenient discussion among “free thinking” people.
Wow I know! So I thought of that too. Like what if Klaus is head faking us all. That would be nothing but routine for someone like him right? I don’t doubt that the marxists and communists here will take there persecutions to the next level. They really have already turned our entire system into a weapon against the people it is supposed to serve so nothing else surprises.
What if – in addition to listening to what powerful people say – we also pay attention to what they do? Might that not give us some insight into their true intentions?
I was just kidding! We will be told what to believe – no work involved!
Dis, check this out for the dotted i’s and crossed t’s on WEF puppets already in place:

What about the War on the Streets of Chicago, 275 people shot, 83 killed in 2022 alone (and we’re only 7 weeks into the year)? What’s more, casualties are 97% cherished POC. Why isn’t Heels Up on a mission to the Southside, spreading manna and her message peace and love on that bloody battleground?
color us surprised.
yet I hear blacks shouting, claiming whites are warring on them.
Whites in blackface!
And after that Baltimore, 53 days into the year, 53 dead.

He has converted to Christianity.
Perhaps he flew too close to the Truth and singed his wings.
Smart guy, and from my perspective, well-intentioned. I don’t expect ideological perfection. I think Jordan Peterson contributes to the resurrection of the soul in the materialist west. I think I can forgive his “coming short of the mark” when applicable.
I like him too. I agree that he is a thoughtful and well-intentioned man.
Yes, that’s what I think of Peterson, as well.
He’s proven to be able to change his mind, as new experiences present themselves. I always respect that.
Someone who knows – and admits! – that he doesn’t know everything. How rare is that?
ShakingMyFuckingHead
I thought I was maybe becoming way too cynical. I actually thought there was no fucking way they would approve the damned state of emergency. But they’re cowards. What a fool I am!
I now totally get the Hebrew tearing of shirts over blasphemy.
And it’s the same feeling, or maybe its flip side, with the way the Haka dances affect me.
How much more of this can we take before flipping out?
They are counting on us flipping out. I think we’ve all been amazingly tolerant (too tolerant) so far.
But lashing out is not the answer, unless it is meticulously covert, planned and constant, like what the PTB has been doing to us.
Well I’m rapidly losing faith in that advice, Mary. When I force myself to think soberly, my conclusion is that they’re 100% tuned in to our collective mood along with all our communications too. So they probably know the movement has only just begun, and they’re taking steps to clamp down hard. Pre-crime is now a totally real offense, punishable by death in the end.
For crying out loud, the Freedom Convoy was entirely peaceful! Where did that get us?
Peaceful’s got nothing to do with it. When power is mortally threatened in any way it always responds with more power. No two ways about it. Everything before that is just PR to conceal the inevitable bottom line. Peace, love, and understanding through the barrel of a gun. Canada’s always been perceived as weak, so they’re just trying to catch up with the rest of the world.
Peaceful protests don’t do anything. They teach us differently in school, to keep us docile.
JT, the Masters of the Universe have been perfecting their game for decades if not centuries. We are playing catch-up. A tough starting position, but don’t feel bad. Expect to get kicked in the teeth. It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it.
You were gonna die anyway. Time to start thinking about how that happens.
Did Davy Crockett try to escape the Alamo using the excuse, “I gotta pick my kids up from school”? No – well, I don’t think so… I’m sure he left a bloody mess for some forgotten tool to clean up.
BB, the thought of our death is our best friend. Puts everything in perspective. “This is my last day on Earth” as the sun rises.
I don’t mean to be peaceful. I mean to be coordinated, calculated, planned…
The High Priests tore their garments in a rage against Christ. They got it wrong.
JT,
one cannot be too cynical.
Oh, screw the Hebrews and their hair on fire over blasphemy.
The Haka? You mean the little number the All Blacks perform before every match to intimidate the other team? Gotta say, my own Pumas were not intimidated a little while ago, and finally beat them. Other teams have, too. Do you follow rugby? I’m more or less incommunicado, barely have any internet and no tv, but of the precious minutes with connection, I confess I spend too many checking out the rugby.
A good part, I spend reading your comments, even when I have nothing to say myself. Keep ’em coming, and cheers!
I don’t pay attention to professional sports, but rugby – and Aussie rules football – those are real sports compared to US football. (And forget baseball – 10 fat guys standing around waiting for something to happen. Basketball? 100 points per game? Slide that basket up another 3 feet…) No helmet, no padding, no million dollars.
I’m sure you’ve read of “stool ball”. No wonder the Brits conquered the world.
Yeah, it’s a real sport. I have the broken bones and missing teeth to prove it! Once, in the scrum, that testudo like formation where your pack pushes the other one, someone head butted my crotch and sent one of the family jewels deep into my abdomen… it wouldn’t come back down!
The doctors had much to laugh about that day at the ER
Oh my gosh! I just felt a sympathetic twinge in an ovary when I read that!
Apropos de rien, my niece’s ovaries descended through the inguinal canals when she was a baby. It’s rare, but it happens. They managed to save one and tack it back up in there.
Thanks for the encouragement and kind words, RD. No, I can’t claim to follow rugby, but now and then I’ll watch a couple game replays online. It’s a great game. It really feels like the people’s game, more so than soccer, er, um, uh, football. 😉
I also enjoy your insights, and hope to hear from you more often too. And it’s a nice blog ya got going there! At one time I figured Argentina would be a good landing place for my wife and me, as she’s a trainer, and the sport of kings is big there. She disagreed, citing an inhospitable environment for female trainers. Was she correct?
Thanks, JT. The sport of kings? Are you talking about soccer (football to the rest of the world)? Because if so, that’s not it, it’s called the “beautiful game”, and on good days it is. I think kings play polo, which is also big in Argie. We send horses and players all over the world. The Arab degenerate sheiks in particular pay very well…
So, if your wife is in fact a trainer for female soccer teams, she could in fact do well down there. Women’s soccer is only big in the US, until recently unheard of in the rest of the world, but it’s now catching on and there’s many all female teams. It’s a growth area. Doesn’t work for me, as it doesn’t approach what male athletes can accomplish, but many are definitely starting to pay attention.
The thing is, the local $ is so devalued, a thousand of theirs is only worth about u$ 4, so it wouldn’t be a good idea financially to go there to work, as the wages would be adequate locally, but laughable here.
On the other hand, if you bring dollars… talk about the sport of kings. A prime grass-fed steak dinner with all the trimmings and a bottle of good red, coffee and dessert, for the u$ equivalent of a McMeal here.
She trains race horses. 😉
I shoulda specified. Still got useful info from ya, though. Thanks!
Ah, JT, understood. Yes, plenty of horse breeders down there, but she wouldn’t make anywhere near what she’s worth if she’s paid in pesos. On the other hand, one of the rich ones may take a fancy to an American lady training his horses, but I suspect that would be problematic, so let’s leave it at that and keep you and Ms JT happy and content, stateside.

Rending of garments — I felt compelled to investigate a little.
“One thing certain about the practice, which is sometimes accompanied by other gestures such us wearing sackcloth and putting ashes on one’s head or praying, is that it occurred invariably at an unpleasant moment in a person’s life. Our close reading of the texts shows that it denotes the rending of the inner being of a person.”

A legitimate comparison to Hitler.
“In the upside-down world of the Holocaust, dignified professionals were Hitler’s advance troops. Police officials disregarded their duty in favour of protecting villains and persecuting victims. Lawyers perverted concepts of justice . . . doctors defiled medicine to perpetrate ghastly experiments . . . statisticians used their little-known but powerful discipline to identify their victims, project and rationalise the benefits of their destruction, organise their persecution . . . Enter IBM and its overseas subsidiaries’.”

It’s not by accident that they have spent so much effort attacking anyone who compares what they are doing to Hitler or Nazism.
The same Bankers funded both sides of the Civil War. It’s what they do. But do you think they wanted the agricultural, backward looking South to win? Uh, no.
But whose side are they on? They’re on their own side. And the way of life of the North is the one which would further aims.
If the Nazis had somehow fended off Capitalism/Communism, the Bankers would have their foot in their door to keep making money and perhaps betrayed or pervert them down the line. They certainly didn’t want them to conquer the world or any such foolishness.
Oh, no doubt, none at all. Have there ever been any “good” bankers?

“Racism, Disability and Gender Balance.” – WOKERMINOLOGY
You know, Putin is talking about Blood & Soil, about mystical bonds of brotherhood forged at Stalingrad and Kursk, something Americans might have once understood, but no longer; I have a feeling he couldn’t give a sh#t less about Joe Biden and his weaselly economic sanctions.
Better, he already knows that the US “tried and true” economic sanctions hurt the US/NATO as much or more than they do Russia, who’s already been under sanctions of one sort or another for so long now that no one can remember when they weren’t. And chipping away at the US economy – and thus the US Dollar itself – is the longer term play here. Once the petrodollar and the dollar denominated payment systems are no more, neither will the US (aka, DC, NYC, & London) as a coherent entity be either. And THEN the real fun begins as all the little Zionist rats run for cover!
Exactly. The sanctions hurt our “allies” in western Europe, and also our “citizens” in the U$ who will pay more for oil and nat gas when the oil companies tend to market demand in Europe. (‘coz Capitalism – gotta chase the almighty dollar!) Enrich the oil companies, enslave the people. Moving ahead right on schedule.
The Ukraine shitshow is not about punishing Russia. It is about breaking the back of Europe and the deplorables here in U$. (If you speak English and play by the rules, here in the U$ you are a deplorable.)
Yep, good points. We’ll be paying through the nose over here too.
And that’s the point.
Get with the Green New Deal.
Yes, good points.
There’s also blood in the water. The other big boys can’t get bluffed anymore. How long have we been numero uno? 150 years? It’s over now. We haven’t won any wars since WW2, and the latest debacle, Afghanistan, really showed the world that the king is wearing no clothes. All hat, no cattle.

Question is, last week when Russian Energy Minister signed deals to provide China with 100 million tons of coal, and India with 50 million tons, did he run it by Greta first? No?
So you admit the last just war was the American Revolution? Or perhaps the Mexican American war since we needed Texas? Of course we needed Canada too……
Unfortunately the invasion of Canada didn’t go to well. Our hearts really weren’t in it, what with New England threatening to secede from the Union over war with England …
Fun fact: pretty much the entire War of 1812 was fought from the little town of Sackett’s Harbor, NY, the Center of the Western World then, forgotten about now.
Funner fact: The War of 1812 radiated out from Detroit, Michigan Territory (go Red Wings!) – center of the western world for a few decades in the distant future – international vomitorium now.
We should have guaranteed the Catholic Canadiens freedom of religion (if we could have done so convincingly) back in ’75. They were our leverage to take Canada from Geo. III. But no, we had to be Calvinist dicks about it.

Putin’s stated intention to round up, jail or even execute dissidents, LGBTQ and religious and ethnic minorities in Ukraine portends crimes against humanity. That nation’s 200,000 Jews are directly targeted. Sadly, economic sanctions are all we and our NATO allies have available.

Putin’s stated intention to round up, jail or even execute dissidents, LGBTQ and religious and ethnic minorities in Ukraine portends crimes against humanity.

He made it pretty clear in the Oliver Stone interviews that what people do in their own homes is their business but what he won’t do is prop up, promote and glorify it.
Laurence Tribes’ twitter.
https://www.rt.com/news/550178-tucker-carlson-russia-treason/
Larry (where’s Moe and Curly) implied Tucker should be put to death since we’re at war with Russia. He later corrected that and then deleted both.
His twitter hander is tribelaw…..
Tucker has been so lit lately. I am very glad he does what he does.
It’s all the Molly.
Someone w/o a uterus should not be making a decision about what someone with one should do w/ it. Unfortunately, the same applies to penises.
I support your autonomy and sovereignty tom lol 🙂
Someone should not be making decisions for someone else to abide by. Hoist the black flag tom, the lines are drawn.
bullshit. last nite wuz at a meet up.
a ‘free spirit’ [she said she was born in 1972, so almost 50 years OLD.
I barely know her and she says ‘2 times to planned parenthood for abortions’
she does cat rescue now.
You should probably stay home more Malt.
no thx
A Cat Lady. I’d put my running shoes on if I were you Malt. And don’t look back.
thanks
I bet you would feel differently if you had been the fetus on the chopping block.
Shame anyone who thinks abortion on demand for any reason is a good thing were not aborted themselves.
Some say every abortion is a sacrifice to Satan.
“Joe Biden” Wins World War Three . Potatohead steps on stage at precisely 2:22 2/22/22. Putin yawns and goes back to sleep.
To keep prices from spiking “Joe Biden” is going to be working closely with “Oil producing consumers” His words exactly. WTF does that even mean?
Hunter is blastin’ butane hash oil in the White House bathroom. $1,500/gram (~75x the market price, but Hunter’s stuff is good enough to make you appreciate his “paintings”).
And after several hits he understand the gibberish, his father is speaking.
I am listening now and President Biden is no Ronald Reagan. I did not like President Regan much but at least HE COULD RIDE A HORSE and he could read and remember….
I don’t know towards the end of his presidency Ronnie was having some issues but nothing like ol’ demented uncle Joe.
@GA
Do you think BoJo has ever in his life run a brush or comb through his hair? Just wondered.
Probably not, Q. He goes to meet foreign dignitaries looking as if he spent the night in a tent with his clothes on.
Good question. Is it just me, or does Johnson look like Trump with an extra chromosome?
“Rrrrooot gairrrzz”
This was Peter’s imitation of an Albanian saying Rutgers.
I’ve never said a kind word about Peter on this site but I have to credit him with an uncanny ability to imitate accents. He does a hilarious line of gibberish you would swear was genuine German. Also does Polish gibberish and, of course, American Black vernacular.
You’re gonna miss Peter when he’s gone, Q. Every family has a black sheep that they love to kvetch about.
My Uncle Dave, was ours. Really kindhearted old soul who everyone loved at first blush, but quite the eccentric, he would get on your nerves pretty quickly with his endless stories after he got acquainted with you. Real tin ear when it came to reading the room. He also had the temerity to embrace alternative spiritual philosophies of all types, coming from a family of strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing. My mom, no piece of cake to get along with either, had a real love/hate thing going on with him his whole life, but she was more broke up than anyone when he finally kicked the bucket.
Relatives – what’re ya gonna do with them? Can’t live with them, can’t just shoot ’em in the head.
Yes, many are great at the surface level. Suck when you get down a bit deeper. And then are great again really deep down.
And even psychopaths have Buddha nature, along with dogs and rocks and things. But that’s not what I meant about really deep down. But it bears bearing in mind nonetheless.
“can’t just shoot ’em in the head.”
Sez you! Eazy peazy, when they’re running just remember to lead ’em.

Anglin’s Putin bullet points:
It’s not a real country now, it is completely run by foreign powers. It is not controlled by the Ukrainian people, but by foreign powers, and also by oligarchs chosen by foreign powers.
Both groups have robbed the people of the country for their own purposes, primarily using the “country” as a battering ram against Russia.
Stalin and Khrushchev gave Russian territory to the Ukraine for political administration reasons that were practical at the time but irrelevant to geopolitics because it was all the USSR. (He didn’t really make any bones about the fact that he thinks the USSR was an economic and administrative disaster.)
The Ukraine is a “colony with a puppet government.”
The Ukraine government is now saying that they are going to start building nuclear weapons, an ability that they have because they were a part of the Soviet Union.
NATO made promises in 1992 that they would not expand NATO eastward, and yet they started doing so immediately.
He asked Bill Clinton if Russia could join NATO in 2000, and Clinton blew him off and chuckled at him, proving that the plan was always to break apart Russia even further via war methods. (He said this is the first time he’s revealed he had this conversation with Clinton.)
He says making an enemy out of Russia just proves that the people running Washington are megalomaniacal, and have no desire for peace, and that they’ve been trying to overthrow Russia since the end of the Cold War.
He laid out the details of the “Maidan” coup, which was not a “revolution,” but a violent overthrow of an elected government by foreign powers.
He explained that the Ukraine is not a “democracy” and that Russian-speakers are being physically attacked, economically disenfranchised, and banned from speaking their own language not just at schools but also in shops and other public places. He says that the Ukrainians didn’t harbor this kind of hatred before, it was a “brotherly” nation, and that the West has trumped up hatred via their control of the Ukrainian government, and their connection to the oligarchs.
He said that like every country, Russia has a right to protect its interests, and this is exactly what they plan to do.
The West is not offering a peaceful solution. They pretend like they are, but then refuse any form of concession, and just start making more threats.
Finally: Russia will officially recognize the independence of the two declared breakaway republics in the Donbass.
Jarek: He asked Clinton if Russia could join NATO and Clinton laughed in his face. That says it all. The malice of the Allies is without bounds.
Many Russian speakers are now behind enemy lines. One can expect the persecution to intensify. Will Putin be forced to take half of the Ukraine to protect his people?
What a surprise.
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/no-further-action-after-covid-19-vaccine-allegations-metropolitan-police/ar-AAUaEUb
“Scotland Yard said there will be no further action following an assessment of allegations made about the UK’s Covid-19 vaccine programme.
“The Metropolitan Police said a number of documents were submitted at a West London police station on December 20 in support of claims that alleged people in the UK Parliament and other organisations had suppressed information about the severity of health implications for those taking the vaccine.
“Police said it was suggested by the complainants that offences including gross negligent manslaughter and misconduct in a public office may have taken place.
“We have found no evidence to support any claims that information about adverse health implications is being suppressed or withheld from the public in the manner that was alleged.
“Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jane Connors
Following an assessment of all the available evidence, the Met said “it is clear that no criminal offences are apparent”.
“The force said it will not be launching a criminal investigation and no further action will be taken in relation to the allegations.”
So that’s that then. No information about adverse effects is being suppressed ;in the manner that was alleged’.
That was Dr Sam White’s case, if anyone was following.
The WEF leaders are in full attack mode now. It’s not gonna be pretty. They will just deny everything and jail us for asking.
The answer we seek will NEVER come from those currently in power. They all serve the same masters, whether they know it or not.
GA
Same thing is starting to happen here with the CDC.
The graft is enormous, and world wide. Who is at the helm? Not our local yokels!
Do you really think that the WEF is dictating terms and policies to the world?
Absolutely.
I consider the Gates Foundation to be intertwined with the WEF – Gates donates funds to The Guardian, the BBC, the factcheckers, the CDC (he’s their biggest funder, I think?), the WHO (which he practically owns), the MHRA (UK health products and medicines regulator, to whom he gave £980,000 while pushing ‘his’ ‘vaccines’) and has bought up a host of media outlets, like The Atlantic.
Why does a tech entrepreneur want news outlets, fact checkers and medicines regulators in his pocket? Why is he interested in vaccines at all? He hasn’t a medical qualification to his name.
Gates had a meeting with Boris the evening before the parliamentary vote (which amounted to a few MPs baying across the house – the votes weren’t even properaly counted) on renewing covid restrictions. Why is Gates ‘advising’ the UK Government on its covid policy at all? In my view Gates is an emissary of the WEF/Blackrock – a very rich errand boy, who also happens to have a eugenicist and transhumanist agenda himself.
Schwab has boasted about the premiers and cabinets he has in his pocket – see my post mentioning Schwab upthread where there is a link to him saying it (and the Canadian Speaker of the House getting all flustered because an MP asked about it). When governments all round the world decide to do the same thing at the same time about the same problem (and especially when the things they do are dysfunctional to solving the problem), they’re not doing it by accident.
Re the BBC, UK Column News is doing good coverage of Ukraine just now.
The BBC is the most sophisticated and pervasive propaganda operation the world has ever seen.
UKC demonstrated on Monday’s programme how the news organisations within Ukraine that the UK and the West generally are claiming to be some kind of genuine voice of Ukraine are actually themselves facets of the BBC. They’re like an octopus.
https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-21st-february-2022
Schwab, himself, is but a marionette. Those who control the coin of the realm pull his strings and those of others like him. We can only guess who they might be, but I maintain there are a few people/families with resources Gates, Soros, Bezos, et al can only dream about having.
I totally agree, JTin. Schwab is the PR man, telling us what they’re doing is all good. Rich as Gates and Schwab are, they’re just emissaries.
FOOD PRICES TO GO MUCH HIGHER.
Yet USA exports food and imports oil [and fertilizer?]
Russia produces 2/3 of the world ammonium nitrate, most of it is used in the production of fertilizers for agriculture.
Russia exported a lot of it to the West until recently.
And has banned all export of fertilizers from Feb 1 to April 1 of this year.
And it will limit export of fertilizers in the future.
The European idiots and traitors will soon have no gaz and more limited food choices at higher prices.
CHEERS
Loss of cheap fossil fuel-based fertilizer from the Soviet Union compelled Cuba to become a world leader in organic agriculture.
But who wants to be like Cuba? Not us! USAUSAUSA!!!
Sounds like a great candidate for industrial “re-shoring” if ever there was one!
Less of everything. Pandemic, geopolitics, same result. Food and energy, but also freedom.
It’s environmental collapse. It’s Gaia’s teat sucked dry. The rest is chaff, noise.
Hope you’ve taken appropriate measures. Land, seeds, livestock, water. Hope you have given up TV years ago, strengthened body and mind, built community, acquired skills. It’s showtime now, and all the blah blah about politics, race, entertainment et al goes straight into the dustbin.
Food, energy and freedom: squirrel and collard greens, oak for the wood stove, water from the crank pump, being able to speak your mind when meeting with your closest 50 neighbors. We’ll be lucky to have that.
Then comes the property tax bill and all you got is buckets of virus-laden silver.
Looking like we’re quite screwed, CFNers.
People don’t know how to fight back. We’ve been programmed to think by the people now moving in for the kill.
Not looking good.
C’mon man. Enough with the negative waves. Fight back? Why fight at all. Just ignore the bastards. I feel for the sheep but hey being a victim is their thing. My family all drank the kool-aid. I drank the Lowenbrau. Be like Sutherland.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncbEucjsNFU
LOL! Is that something like the strawberry ‘drank’ mentioned the other day? Yo man, gimme summa dat kool-aid drank righ’chere!
I don’t see myself as negative, I see myself as a realist.
If you can’t admit when you’ve been beaten, you can’t learn how to fight back.
We better fucking learn to fight back – and more – STRATEGIZE – or things won’t go well for us.
I do think despite all that, I’ll fare way better than the poor suckas stuck in big cities. I sure would not want to be in their shoes.
The sky is falling…
RL
Falling just enough to trounce the Dems come November lol.
Imagine being too stupid to see a collapse while standing in the middle of it. LOL.
Mary, it’s all good… if you accept this is your last day on Earth. Grateful for the time you were granted, and not feeling entitled to another day. The potatoes you planted today, someone else may harvest.
No worries.
“Use death as an advisor.” Read that in a book once. Sounded like good advice. Still does.
Why so down and out MQ? It’s all just a game we play. The end is ultimately the same for everyone.
Just pissed off we didn’t fight harder is all.
So disappointing.
I’m entirely sympathetic, Mary. We’re in a new society of untersheeple, if you will. Clueless masses of trained idiots. Here’s a nice kick in the teeth. “Sir, thank you, sir! May I please have another, sir?”
If only there was a way to escape, or separate.
It is if you mean the Canadian truckers.
What could we have done? The wall has been built brick-by-brick over a long period of time.
Adams 1798, made it illegal to spread “misinformation”. Jefferson 1803, made us an empire. Lincoln 1861, smashed state rights. Wilson 1913, put the bankers in charge of the U$ gov’t. Nixon 1971, abolished the gold standard creating the hot air speculative economy we live in now – and which is about to crash. And that’s just the US.
The kids you went to school with who only learned to cheat. The kids they “raised” by feeding them junk food and electronic devices but not reading to them. How could you – or me or any of us – have fixed that?
Human nature being what it is, I think our present predicament was inevitable. Even if you went Amish, your self-sufficient community is still surrounded by a sea of ignorant humanity, and the waves they make will eventually wash you away.
Well, here’s a simple solution we might have tried: term limits.
“Medicine doesn’t have to taste bad to be good.”
(I can’t remember, nor could I find whose slogan that was.)
@ Blackbird:
People in general could have done a lot of things. While the proverbial “moral and religious people” can be enslaved like anyone else, it is more difficult to enslave them.
There’s no reason why they couldn’t have read to their kids, provided them with good nutritious food, and refused to turn them over to babysitters and the public school system to raise. People could have educated themselves. They could have kicked the TV to the curb. They could have cultivated religion and spirituality in themselves and their children. They could have maintained cultural standards, and refused to listen to bad music, to watch disgusting movies or TV shows, or to read crap literature–and instead surrounded themselves with good music and good books.
I don’t know if moral degradation is a necessary precondition for enslaving people, but if it’s not, the moral degradation may be the worse of the two conditions.
Blacks are kind of an object lesson in how freedom is lost. You allow yourself to become so disgusting and degraded that there is a general, if unspoken, concensus that you should not be allowed in the neighborhood, the park, the restaurant, or the workplace.
E.g., many years ago there was a tempest in a teapot over black teenagers frequenting one of the parks in an affluent neighborhood. The park had become a favorite place for black kids to play basketball. Do people mind teenagers playing basketball in the park? Um…no. But people do mind profanity, boom boxes playing filthy music, and public urination. The (white) young mothers who lived in the affluent neighborhood did not want to take their kids to the park. This type of behavior leads to a concensus that your freedoms should be limited. This particular affluent area has a long history of police discouragement of “driving while black.” This policy has strong public support.
When people behave like pigs, the public will adopt the view that they should not be allowed freedom–thus lending tyrants a constituency.
Well said. Black standards are well below that of Whites – and that is a worldwide thing. But things are far worse in the United States because of the legacy of slavery and Black hatred of Whites. They don’t have to try and be good because we’re the Devil. They are automatically better than us and all their faults are on us. It’s quite natural for them to fall into this psychology. And Black immigrants from Africa will adopt it – just wait and see. As have the Blacks who came willingly to Great Britain, you see.
They did behave themselves much better when they were afraid of us. And before Welfare destroyed the Black family. Neither of these important points negate the more general considerations above, though. Many may wish that they do, but they don’t.
@ Jarek:
One of Jesus’s parables applies here: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”
Where goodness and beauty are cultivated, even by a few, they will multiply. What people, as individuals, can do is not allow these to be extinguished.
This is a fine-grained work. It requires a life lived reverently and innocently on a moment-to-moment basis. No raised voices, no tread of violence, kids taught to love each other.
Once when my kids were little and were telling each other to shut up, I told them, “That’s not the way you talk to your sister. The way you talk to your sister is to say, ‘O speak again, bright angel!'” Perhaps this was an exaggerated view.
Whatever I say, you will be against. You are Woman. But when you speak of your own accord, you speak the Truth about Blacks, though perhaps you dare not express the full truth even to yourself.
Is Christ Rex Mundi? No, Satan is. The philosophy you just gave, in contrast to your previous post, is just typical fem crap. We’d all be speaking Arabic, Berber, Mongolian, and Turkish if this view had prevailed.
@ Jarek:
Our purpose in this life is be the medium through which the Kingdom of Heaven is m made manifest on earth.
As grace has been shed upon us (often undeservedly), we are to shed grace on others.
In our family life, we are to manifest the Kingdom of Heaven. We are to do the same thing in our work. I am fortunate, at least at present, that my work involves creating things of beauty. If you had ever seen the Kingdom of Heaven, you would have seen that it is a place of staggering, mind-blowing beauty. We are to manifest this on earth–not only in music, arts, and letters, but also in our homes and our most mundane doings.
I’m not sure of your line of reasoning in your last statement, since I don’t really see where Berbers or Turks come into the picture.
Mary, there has been a fair amount of negative news this past week or so, but keep in mind that Canada is one of the most infiltrated governments in the West. Friedland is on the board at the WEF, and Trudeau and his cabinet were specifically mentioned as having been “penetrated” to the point that at least half of the cabinet were operatives.
There is still good resistance elsewhere, and even in places like Canada, it is far from over.
I expect 2022 to be difficult in general, as the window is closing to get the chains on.
Yes, it’s going to be VERY difficult.
It’s good that these WEF installations are being exposed, but not many are reacting to it. People should be outraged.
I guess, where is the outrage?
We know where it is. Contained among 25 percent of the population that can think.
American Freedom Truckers watch your 6 and 12. It’s almost 100% that FBI Agent Provocateurs will stage a false flag along the way and CNN will be there to film it.
Liberator,
As provided today in the Forward Observer’s daily briefing.
SECDEF APPROVES NATIONAL GUARD IN DC: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved the use of 700 National Guard members and 50 “large tactical vehicles” in response to the trucker convoy headed to D.C. The soldiers are tasked with controlling traffic flows without weapons or law-enforcement authority. The first of three known truck groups should arrive from Pennsylvania today with planned stops in metro areas along the way. One organizer said, “We’re going to travel the Beltway at a safe speed. We’re not looking for a battle. Don’t create one.” (AC: The deployment of the Guard troops without weapons indicates this is largely performative. The truckers are aware of the increased scrutiny from law enforcement and are unlikely to provoke encounters. Agitators are likely to be present, but the convoy participants’ use of internal communications and prior coordination could insulate the group from any federal law enforcement intrusion. – D.M
You know that the daily briefing is free if you sign up. You can view it every weekday, while making 17 bazillion dollars on the Internets by simply filling envelopes, taking surveys, and maybe showing your tits on a podcast….
P.S. “tactical vehicles” include “tanks”….
The truckers getting any news time is in doubt now because of events in eastern Europe being the almost perfect 24 hour emergency story. The neo-con/neo-liberal set couldn’t have had a better event to save the globalist movement from various populist threats. The democrats and three quarters of republicans will go hog wild for overthrowing and possibly further provoking Putin in a war his nation can’t win. I fear this saved Biden in the midterms and maybe further. Very depressing is the thought of these fools surviving open borders, BLM and CRT mania plus the crime spree.
That’s because there is no American interest that justifies our intervention in Ukraine, unless of course you consider all the shady deals Hunter Biden has going on over there to be an American interest. https://t.co/fy7GCJVOLQ
Don Jr
This is Trump 1.0, the pov that got him elected. But in contrast, Trump himself got boastful today saying that Putin wouldn’t try this on his watch. This is Trump 2.0, controlled by the Deep State and trying to stay out of prison.
So finally it “starts” (Donbass), though many had sort of figured it out once they figured out that the covid19 is a hoax.
I mean:
The covid stuff was not killing any significant numbers than a normal flu –> thus a hoax
Such a world wide hoax needs the support of every big player with pharmaceutical capacity (china india iran brazil etc)
obviously Iran, china and Russia agreed because they gained something.
China is not a strong player here because they are net beggars for energy. That Taiwan there is not important an issue because it will be Han chinese whatever happens.
I guessed:
1.china’s job is to keep supplying trinkets while the west and others (including china and india) gently bring down their consumption.
2. Russia/Iran has no intention of depleting their fossil fuel reserves any more than necessary. “Necessary” being the need to supply the basics for the west/china to gently go down.
3. Some “events” will make Russia/Iran “unable” to make their money selling their energy products. Thus they have a sob story to tell their people as to why they cannot have an orgy of consumption and leave their descendants as paupers.
4. Russia will get back all their Russian lands with the help of the USA. Events will keep on happening that increases the determination of the Russian public while making the Europeans scared of war that will destroy what little they have.
I thought Russia can wrap it up last year but the USA was just too slow to infuriate them enough.
Hopefully they absorb all those scattered republics they created around their orders by 2025.
Only one wish i have for Putin. Pray stop this vaxx madness.
republics around their orders -> republics around their borders
Been vacationing in Florida for the past month, but now I’m in Foxwoods in Ct. and will be home tomorrow. Just reporting on what I’ve seen and experienced on my trip, which confirms a lot of what CFNers have been talking about here, even if it sounds trivial.
There’s shortages everywhere. Many Restaurants we ate at seemed to be out of some menu items. My Disney stay was somewhat disappointing. Our room had several breakdowns of equipment and the pool was closed down for 3 days because of a broken pump. The cleaning staff didn’t seem to have it together. I’ve always rated my stay at least a 9 out of 10. This time it was a 7. Also, everything was shockingly expensive. How can the average household even afford to stay there?
We had a bad experience tonight in Foxwoods. First, almost all the restaurants are still closed during the week, and open only on weekends. Our room is excellent, though. Because of the closed restaurants, we ate at California Pizza Kitchen. When we went in, they said the wait would be an hour, but we could avoid the wait by eating at the bar. – no problem. We always liked their split pea and barley soup; of course, they were out of it. We went for soup and salad. Oh, well. We were relegated to just having a caesar’s salad. Unfortunately, our waitress, who was awful, got in a fight with one of the cooks. A lot of yelling and fuck yous right in front of us. Very unpleasant. The waitress was so upset she ran out the rear exit. They were very short-staffed, so we were left waiting for a measly salad with no waitstaff around. Finally, I complained to the manager, who made up a salad for us. The dressing on the salad was so bad, I left without paying.
There’s a lot more, but I’m not going to go on and on.i Suffice it to say, everybody seemed to get things wrong all the way up and dow the coast. It was very apparent to us that things are breaking down.
Sheesh. “First World Problems” by the truckload, alright!
Also, everything was shockingly expensive. How can the average household even afford to stay there? we cannot.
Los Angeles, $19 for 2 eggs at a not fancy restaurant.
doubt me? go check online for the menus.
This vlogger documents the $16 for 2 eggs in san diego,
somewhere in the last 10 days of this vlog,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDGfyNi6bSY
San Diego now has the dubious distinction of Americas most expensive city to live in.
Denny’s egg plate will run you $20 with a coffee.
A quart of coffee creamer just cost us $5.50 at our local grocery store (Stop & Shop). Cost us $15 for scrambled eggs at a restaurant in Orlando.
Bill, Foxwoods is expanding and “Changing Directions”, announced it will be more ‘Family Friendly’. Like Vegas did in the 90s.
our waitress, who was awful, got in a fight with one of the cooks. – bean
========
I don’t know why but I am picturing this waitress as grossly over-weight and covered with large ugly tattoos.
I don’t know why …
Just natural attraction at work there, Q.
Were you there, Q? Because you described her perfectly.
@ Beantownbill:
It’s getting to where these East- and West-coast tales about how everything is going to shit seem very remote of life here in fly-over country. (Specifically, the more distant exurbs of Kansas City, Missouri.)
All things covid seem to have been memory-holed. No one even talks about it any more, other than to maybe note that they had Omicron (per a home test). Masks have almost completely disappeared, and no one has much to say about their vax status. The Karens have gone silent. We have had occasional shortages of some grocery items. The only thing I’ve really noticed is that heavy cream disappeared from all local stores for a week or two. While there has never been a problem getting chicken, no one ever seems to have chicken livers–which I crave from time to time. Restaurants remain pretty much the same as ever, in terms of price and service, but we rarely eat out. When we do, it’s most often our favorite Indian restuarant (the Korma Sutra), which was expensive to start wth, or at Annie’s 58 in Holden, where you can get a dinner-plate size tenderloin sandwich. Prices there are unchanged.
Gas is over $3.00/gallon, and my daughter complains that car parts are very expensive now. She is the family car mechanic. I can’t see that food prices have increased much, if any. My daughter says that beef is very high. I have personally felt that it was impossible to get good beef or chicken without paying premium prices, for several years. E.g., you can buy cheap chickens at Walmart, but when you make them into chicken broth, the broth tastes like water. You have to pay $15 for a chicken that has any flavor. But it’s been this way for years already. Same with beef. I won’t skimp on high-quality, nutritious food, and I refuse to prepare meals that are not fit to eat because the ingredients came from Walmart. I’m used to high food prices. Luckily (perhaps) I don’t eat much, due to being an old person.
My daughter and her husband have a freezer that is overflowing with meat, as they raise diary goats, chickens, and usually a couple of hogs. And the in-laws recently butchered a cow, so they got a lot of beef. Predators have been bad this winter (because their guard dog died last fall), so the chicken flock needs replenishing. Their mama goat just kidded three days ago, so there will soon be goat milk. My daughter and I are planning a big garden for this summer.
People here remain mostly pleasant.
I do worry about inflation, but, around here, we’re mostlly living in 2019.
I just sold my house, which was cheap due to years of deferred maintenance, to a young family that moved from the city–and I’m guessing a pretty rough part of the city. I am happy for them. It’s a different world out here.
You are lucky, Anthea. Up here in the Boston area things are starting to get painfully expensive. Food is expensive for us because we are vegetarians (fish only) and food snobs. We watch very carefully the quality of what we put into our mouths, like you, so we pay a premium for meals. We try to exercise a lot (difficult in winter) and that gives us big appetites.
Gas is around $3.50/gal, but that was before the Ukraine invasion. We have a hybrid SUV and get about 40 mpg. We don’t drive much; gas prices aren’t a big factor for us. People in our complex are just beginning to be concerned about inflation.
@ Beantownbill:
Re the rudeness and vulgarity: for Midwesterners and Southerners, courtesty and graciousness are cultural norms. We often find the manners of Easterners, West Coast people, and Northerners quite jarring and offensive. E.g., I’ve been going to our rural Walmart for twenty years, and I’ve only once encountered rudeness. The typical conversation between Walmart customers is, “Oh my goodness! I must be in your way. Excuse me!” This is often followed by, “Can I help you get that item down from the top shelf?”
When I took a job in one of the northern states, I noticed that the gas station cashiers became surly and rude as soon as I hit the Iowa line. The school where I was teaching was well aware that they had a courtesy problem. (They had formed a committee.) E.g., when I came to work in the morning, I routinely said, “Good morning,” to everyone; they never replied. No one EVER said please or thank you, “Good morning,” or, “How are you?” Let alone, “How is your dog?” or “How are the kids liking school?”
One of my daughters took a job in the Portland area after finishing graduate school in Tennessee. She was shocked by the constant gratuitous aggression and argumentativeness of the people in the Portland area. She found it unbelievable that, if someone dropped some stuff at the store, no one helped them pick it up. Once a co-worker told my daughter she was having a bad day and was shocked that my daughter brought her a cup of coffee as a gesture of kindness. She once told me that it was so bad that she really missed the gushy, chatty Southern women who would come up and give you a hug for no reason.
My daughter was used to living in a community where, if you ran your car into a ditch in the winter, someone would come along and pull you out with a logging chain–usually within ten or fifteen minutes.
Even the guys who run a couple of the local gas stations (who are Muslims of some stripe) often make an effort to conform to local standards of courtesy–though they were never rude or surly. For awhile there, they were saying, “Thank you, dear,” after you paid for your cigarettes–though perfunctorily. But at least they were trying to appear genial.
I won’t say that assholery is completely absent in the Midwest, but it’s almost entirely confined to the workplace and is much resented, even there.
Just info for northeasterners: Don’t take a car train down to Florida. We did, and it was a horrible experience. I’ll explain some other day.
What is a car train?
A train that carries your car. You drive onto the flatbed and off you go.
We took one in Switzerland in order to pass through a section of the Alps. Was faster, as the train went through a tunnel system.
Yup, only way to get into Zermatt – other than walking. I was driving a rental car with GPS. The GPS told me to go onto the train tracks – but there was a train there. I figured, “Oh well…” That was cool.
Wow, I can’t believe that I didn’t know such a thing existed here in the states.
Live & learn!
Hahahahaha! Mary, if you haven’t lived on the east coast / I-95 corridor, you wouldn’t have reason to know about car trains. They drain the North of well-off seniors every Nov/Dec. Hop off the train in South Florida, drive yer Lexus to Boca. Turn around and head back in April.
Back in my starving artist days, there were also plenty of classified ads in the papers for drivers to shuttle cars back and forth between NYC and FL. I was always suspicious, so I never applied. Don’t wanna be nobody’s mule.

The “Auto Train” here is somewhat different than you describe. An Amtrak employee drives your vehicle onto the train car which is not just a simple flatbed but, rather, enclosed.
They have a width restriction of 84 inches. If you are 84.125 inches wide you’re screwed. No soup for you. My vehicle was a RAM 1500 pickup. With the mirrors folded in to the body we were exactly 84 inches. You open your front windows and they extend this 84 inch wooden pole through to check you.
Peter had a car down in FL which we had to sell before returning home to Jersey because a U-Haul trailer to tow it was about 15 or 18 inches to wide.
My vehicle was a C63 AMG, and my flatbed was open.
No one cares, idiot.
it was about 15 or 18 inches to wide.

It’s too and NO failed to catch it. Lousy proofreader.
I’d be interested in hearing about your experience, Bill. (As someone who takes AMTRAK to Florida)
I only take the D Train
Where’s that go?
Manhattan’s Sixth Avenue Express
I only know where the A train goes.
Don’t take a car train down to Florida. We did, and it was a horrible experience. – bean

I look forward to your explanation.
Last year, Jan 22/23 of 2021 my wife and I took the Auto Train from the terminal in Lorton, VA to the terminal in Sanford, FL and have no complaints. The food was essentially a box lunch but not that bad.
We also came back about a week later on the Auto Train. We now had Peter with us after we sprung him from a medical facility near Estero, FL (west coast). We arranged for a train car all to ourselves on the ground level with a restroom just a few steps away. If Peter had had to climb the narrow steps to the upper level he would be dead now. Literally. They did many other things for us simply in response to our asking.
The train is not very fast. I’d estimate for the miles traveled it averaged 50 or 60 mph.
I forget the exact cost but it was something like $300 – $350 per person.

78-Year-Old Robbed in Church After Thieves Duped Her Into Praying With Them (msn.com)
and
a human hand and three packets of human placenta have allegedly been shipped from a Brazilian university to a fashion designer in Singapore, according to the Brazilian Federal Police.
Police raided a lab at the Amazonas State University on February 22 and revealed that the organs were preserved by an anatomy professor, according to Vice World News.
A police statement in Portuguese claimed that the anatomy lab “performed the extraction of body fluids,” part of the process of plastination, in which fluids are replaced by plastics such as silicon and epoxy in order to preserve body parts.
The professor is now under investigation. It is not clear yet whether the shipment has been intercepted on its way to Singapore.
The package was allegedly bound for Indonesian fashion designer and influencer Arnold Putra, who has attracted controversy for his fascination with human body parts in the past.
In 2020, he made news for selling a handbag made of bones from a human spine. Putra claimed the bones were “ethically sourced” from a medical surplus in Canada.
On Instagram, Putra responded to online criticism of the bag by writing: “It’s part of a creative learning process that should involve opposition—otherwise it would just be a form of repeated validation.” He added in an Instagram story that the bag was part of a collection “derived from plastinated human remains and albino skin.” It is unclear whether he was joking.
Russia on Biden’s reaction to Putin’s Declaration: We didn’t listen to it.
Also hilarious are Kamal’s blatherings over there about the situation.
Russia is a Land Power and will always fight on its own borders. Putin turned the plane around when the Allies began bombing Russia’s little brother, Serbia. He was coming here to sit down with Clinton I believe. He may have burned with rage, but he didn’t feel he could do anything. Serbia isn’t on his border. But to imagine he would do nothing on his own borders is foolish. He has before and will do so again.
The Allies or the New World Order if you prefer, bombed Serbia for 78 days in order to set up a Muslim/Narco state in Kosovo.
They are unspeakably evil. That right there should have been enough proof for you.
All these carpet bombings of these smaller countries I can never understand. The asymmetry of it all is appalling. Like every now and then they just randomly go bomb Syria and its like what is even there to bomb but smoldering piles of bombed out debris. It is wicked.
Are any of Kamala’s recent blatherings as good as the one from that NBC interview re covid strategy? “It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”
Russia has always considered Serbia to be its “Little Brother”. Protecting Serbia from Austrian aggression after the Grand Duke was assassinated is what kicked off WW1.
Biden’s 10 minute response is up over on Saker blog. It’s really quite amusing. He was squinting to read off the teleprompter the whole way and appeared to be speaking rapidly and just trying to get through it without flubbing his lines too badly, which he often did anyway. More fuel for the speculation that he’s heavily medicated just to function. And analysis of the US sanctions across the web this morning all agree that they’re a joke, mostly just targeting Russian plutocrat wealth stashed overseas, mostly in London, and a few very small Russian banks. In other words, thieves robbing thieves. Might have even done Putin a favor.

Note Chrystia Freeland’s (left) nervous fidgeting throughout. Perhaps it is the cameras as they say but JT looks leaner and younger compared to homebound exiled JT? Are there UN troops stationing in Canada for a wider North American operation? There are videos on utube and tik tok showing UN marked planes. People in Ottawa saying that UN and/or NATO troops were mixed in with the regular police.
For fuck’s sake…you cannot be serious.
I heard today that there are Italian-sourced UN troops in Christchurch. Apparently, a covey of these guys were seen in a local supermarket. Right, and JFK Jr has a bolt hole bunker near Queenstown. (No doubt Elvis will materialize shortly).
Oh yes RL I am indeed very serious. The fact that the “fact-checkers” are all over this one should tell you everything you need to know. This is just one example and you can look up others. The fact that the media is spending so much time spinning again tells the story.

Are you terribly ashamed of the human rights abuses your NZ gov and Jacinda Pony have inflicted on peaceful anti-mandate protestors?
Haha! Do you mean the illegal campers who harass old ladies for wearing a mask, who throw their own faeces at police, who empty their RV toilets down city storm drains, who rave-techno-party all night, who have blocked the city streets with their “park wherever the-fuck-you want” attitude, who are so deluded that they believe they’ve “lost their freedoms”? Those muppets? What I find hard to believe is how this so-called “commie tyranny” government has put up with it for so long.
Uh-huh.
You are well named. Liberal
No wait. Liberals are supposed to be for the workers, for the have nots, the down trodden, and against all those capitalist swine who steal everything from the proletariat. You know, all the racists stealing from the workers.
No wait. Our modern day liberals also believe in the government making societal decisions for us. The government is the only institution that has enough smarts to make those decisions. Individuality is a bad thing, collectivism is good.
Did it ever occur to the liberal mind that that government you adore so much is the mechanism that is ripping off the working classes. That the corporate capitalism that IS stealing everything is funding and being funded by the government.
That the government is the enemy of the people, not the friend.
Lincoln’s close to the Gettysburg address is a joke today.
What happened to “Defund the Police”?
LOL. What an useful idiot you are.
JohnAZ
You’re a good guy and a thinker, esp round the crud & the vaccine, but on this particular point (what a ‘liberal’ is and what i, specifically, believe) you have no idea. Nor do you, or that mild-mannered SSL have any idea of what’s going on in Wellington, NZ.
I and some friends personally know several people who are there – nine, in fact, all from our little burg.
Of those nine, eight are on what is locally referred to as “The Benefit” – that is, free money from the taxpayers. The types you call ‘gimmes’.
So don’t give me BS about this rabble being “workers, the downtrodden, the have-nots”. These are precisely the loathsome people you rail against whenever the opportunity arises.
Aside from that, the posts I’ve been getting from these guys – incidentally, the one who isn’t on the state’s tit – rage against all sorts of imagined crimes against him & his ilk, and imagined they are indeed.
His most recent post claimed – amongst many other just STUPID things – that, being unvaccinated, he isn’t free to travel. What bullshit.
Another of our group, a highly ranked nurse in our local Health Service, was at a pharmacy yesterday and saw a sign saying “RATs available”. She asked if she could get one.
“No. They’re for the unvaccinated who need a clear test before travel (flying/ferries). There aren’t enough for just ANYONE!”
Nancy asked what they cost, thinking maybe $40 to $50 a hit…the reply was stunning (in the context of the rant from our Poster) – “Oh, they’re free. The Ministry of Health pays for them.”
That’s the tyrannical commie government these deluded idiots want to dismantle.
I suspect the quickest way to clear up this shitshow of the “NZ Clownvoy 2022” is to announce that anyone still there by Friday lunchtime will have their benefit stopped. It’d melt away in minutes.
The Rednut Liberal responds!
But as usual, he posts nothing of substance.
As usual, your posts are either full of fever-dream fantasy (“Trump will be your president” being the funniest one) or a nasty ad hom. Yawn.
He is jubilant about using the power of the State to smash those he dislikes.
He is too stupid to understand that although his interests now mesh with those of TPTB (because he swallows the propaganda whole and with relish) there might come a time that he is found to be a less than desirable citizen and the power of the state can be turned upon him.
Of course traditional liberals had ethical principles that applied to all humans and were not contingent on personal interest, but those days are long gone.
Only appealing to self-interest might work on those so selfish, but then we have the problem of his obvious lack of critical thinking ability.
@ JohnAZ:
Indeed. Liberalism can be summed up as, “All power to the State, no power to the people.”
There are videos of UN planes that landed right before the illegal clearing action.
Also, a large contingent of those doing the clearing were wearing military style uniforms, spoke poor English, had no identification tags, and were built like mil. (most about 6 ft., heavier-set), versus the police ranks, which are full of women and manlets..
Check out some of the eye-witness accounts on Twatter. I do belive UK Column was discussing it as well.
UKC did some good stuff a couple of months ago about the general reformation of military forces to be integrated ‘horizontally’ – getting rid of ‘vertical’ structures, like regiments, to which soldiers historically hold great loyalty, and replacing them with lateral arrangements with other forces (e.g. there was an arrangement between German and UK forces which was reported in the German press (only just, I imagine) but not reported at all in the UK.
Brian Gerrish is ex-Navy, so is good on all this stuff.
It’s all about forces beng sent to where they’re needed (by the globalists) and having no loyalty to even your regimental brothers, let alone your country or your people. Add, eventually, some DARPA tech, and Bob’s your uncle. A soul-less, robotised military whose main function is to put down popular insurrection.
Interesting. I will have to comb through some of the older episodes. I don’t always get a chance to listen, and have certainly missed a few.
If you like UCK, Patrick Henningsen has Sunday Wire, which is also quite good (perhaps you already know):
https://21stcenturywire.com/sundaywire/
Thanks, NO. I knew PH had 21st C Wire, although I haven’t listened to it, except for an interview he did with one of the covid guys – might have been Mike Yeadon or Rbt Malone, but I don’t remember. I’ll give Sunday Wire a go. I still need to tune in to the Grand Jury trial (which I believe started with Brian Gerrish and Alex Thompson? There aren’t enough hours in the day!
I don’t know how you manage, while earning a living. 🙂
PS the comment about DARPA etc. was mine, not theirs! They stuck to the reconfigurations of military organisation.
Easy. Most of us in the “laptop class” here in Germany have been working from home for some two years now.
I have these shows on in the background via a second computer.
I recall hearing something similar of the “dilution” of traditional military units.
Perhaps I heard it on UKC.
So, what does this mean when those homogenized units are on the defensive? Under pressing attack? No heroes of Thermopylae to be expected!!
Actually, it seems to me that units so constructed of people from Anywhere could reasonably be labeled mercenaries. Why not?
Interesting factlet is that US military has always refused the possibility of any US forces being under “foreign” command. Does that mean that NATO forces are always under US command, or, no US forces would ever be part of an international or NATO or UN command that has a non-US commander?
LOL yes I did notice that the ranks of the actual Ottawa police were mostly women and manlets. And the troops who were mixed in dressed in the stormtrooper style with the olive green are supposedly the potentially non-Canadian element. And yes they all looked like big alphas.
The olive green ones were the Quebec Provincial Police, Le Surete du Quebec.
I saw a video of a Canadian talking about how the goons who had their faces covered and no ID on their shoulders were mercenaries, used to sow chaos and destruction all over the world and shipped into Canada because the native Canadian police and military could not be trusted to attack citizens.
That is how they do, from Nicaragua to Syria to Kazakastan- ship in violent men with no sense of human decency.
I highly doubt that the UN was involved with the project.
The guy I saw thought that it was Mark Carney, but it could just be the global ruling class stomping down another populist movement.
Why does the UN have to be involved? That makes no sense.
“Why does the UN have to be involved? That makes no sense.” No, it doesn’t make sense to you or me or people in the afflicted country. It does make sense to our masters however.
Your local cops, national guard, or even army may balk at killing their own people. UN “peacekeepers”? No problem. They will kill whomever they are told to kill.
I expect UN “peacekeepers” to be deployed in the U$ once “domestic insurrectionists” become the malady du jour. Most likely from African and Muslim countries – they won’t have any problem recognizing the enemy.
I think that UN troops come from the national troops of various governments and are trained as military soldiers.
Mercenaries are picked for their brutality and lack of human empathy.
I think that our rulers prefer mercenaries.
Paula seems to think that they are the good globalists, not understanding that the NGO’s are the real power in the UN. And behind that amorphous acronym are the same organizations controlled by the same individuals: Soros, Gates, etc.
There are no good Globalists….
I wouldn’t doubt it, but it doesn’t let the RCMP off the hook. They are Canadian and some of them laughed at committing atrocities.
Particularly brutal cops in the US are also singled out and sent for special training at Quantico.
They get to be in the SWAT teams and who knows what other special assignments.
You just get more and more ridiculous, which is quite a feat round here.
One wonders why you post here?
RL, since you’re here, maybe you could shed some much needed light on this Daily Mail article. Light as in – do you think it’s genuine jourmalism or are they reading fron a script and, in doing so, creating a piece of disingenuous nonsense?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10544527/UVA-set-hold-15k-person-study-ivermectin-effective-against-COVID-19.html
So, they’re telling us that ‘UVA plans to conduct a 15,000 person study to find whether the anti-parasite drug ivermectin can combat COVID-19’
But while they’re telling us about the study to find out if ivermectin is effective they’re telling us at the exact same time, before the results of the study are available, that
(a) Ivermectin has risen to prominence in recent months due to false claims that it can treat the virus;
(b) The drug is FDA approved to treat parasite-related conditions but has no antiviral properties;
(c) Previous studies have found that ivermectin has no ability to combat the virus.
So, what do you think of this as a piece of journalism, RL?
Just saying it’s a tabloid isn’t an answer, btw.
GA
I’d have thought you’d welcome that bit of news. I can’t see why the summary pisses you off so much.
I don’t welcome it because there have been many positive studies already, RL, so this one will just as likely be ‘fixed’ as not. Studies have been fixed already. Studies for drugs that need to be used early have been fixed by only testing them on cases where people were already hospitalised.
You don’t seem to be concerned about the deliberate bit of disinformation in the DM. Maybe that’s just because you expect it.
“I can’t see why the summary pisses you off so much.”
It pisses me off because it makes a claim for which it provides no evidence. It refers to ‘false claims’ without giving any evidence proving such claims are false.
Just like every bleating of ‘misinformation’ by Big Tech, governments and the MSM on anything covid related comes without evidence. Just as the Canadian MP who bleated ‘disinformation’ about Schwab and the WEF having penetrated cabinets worldwide is so easily disproved by the words you can see and hear coming out of Schwab’s own mouth, yet the bleating of ‘disinformation’ continues anyway, despite the evidence of your own eyes and ears.
What do you get out of defending actual misinformation? What’s in it for you? I don’t get it. Are you just one of the c.30% who are so hypnotised you are unreachable with facts and evidence or is there something more sinister? I used to give you the benefit of the doubt. Now I’m not so sure if I should. It is not possible for a rational AND honest person to be faced with so much evidence and to continue to believe fairy tales. I don’t believe it can be just fear of facing the consequences of your foolishness in getting jabbed. Millions of people who’ve been jabbed have seen the truth of what’s happening and are not living in denial.

“Justin appears to be morphing into a woman”
Doesn’t that make sense? After all, as Narc Troll has so reliably informed us, Jacinda Ardern is actually a man (along with Michelle Obama, of course…) – “irrefutable video evidence on the interwebz” in both cases, naturally.
I said they had lumps showing, and provided photographs for our users to peruse.
The classic straw man, from the classic straw man.
LOL.
So, if a Big Lie is called out by “fact-checkers” that’s now a sign that it’s true? How fucked up can one’s thinking get?
“This is a totally nuts conspiracy theory that has no basis in reality,” Alexander Cohen, spokesperson for Canadian Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, said on Monday.
Facts First: No UN forces were involved in the Ottawa police operation — and no UN forces landed in North Bay. The passenger plane seen at the North Bay airport is owned by a North Bay company, Voyageur Aviation, that flies and performs maintenance on aircraft used by the UN; planes with UN markings have been spotted for years at Voyageur’s North Bay facility. Flight records pulled up by Canadian aviation photojournalist Tom Podolec show that the regional jet that has been subject of this week’s conspiracy theories arrived in North Bay on January 29 after departing the day prior from Amman, Jordan.
“I can confirm that the aircraft has been in North Bay for several weeks for a routine aircraft maintenance heavy check event at our Voyageur North Bay facility,” Manon Stuart, spokesperson for Voyageur parent company Chorus Aviation, said in a Monday email. “Voyageur employs approximately 220 people in North Bay, providing aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services for a global customer base.”
Facts first.
LOL.
It’s the truth, kids. He read it from the fact checker.
You’ve made lavish claims above, but – unusally, for you – no links to Steve Bannon’s War Room or Counterspin offered as ‘proof’:
“There are videos of UN planes that landed right before the illegal clearing action.
Also, a large contingent of those doing the clearing were wearing military style uniforms, spoke poor English, had no identification tags, and were built like mil. (most about 6 ft., heavier-set), versus the police ranks, which are full of women and manlets…
Have you got ANYTHING to substantiate your ludicrous claims? That was rhetorical…of course you don’t.
I always do. You project in a flaccid show of inner conflict.

Any more facts for us?
LOL.
Yeah, as expected. Nothing. Your standard of what’s “evidence” is as shabby as it ever was.
Video containing evidence for my statement that there was evidence that UN planes landed at a nearby airport shortly before the clear-out.
The Redut Liber: “Nothing”
LOL.
‘Video containing evidence for my statement that there was evidence that UN planes landed at a nearby airport shortly before the clear-out.‘
Nuh-nuh. It was video of a plane (or two planes) at an airport. No evidence about when they arrived or why. The rest of your ‘evidence’ is your confirmation bias (sticking out like Michelle O’s supposed cock).
The date is in the video, the planes are marked “UN.”
Your brain is not equipped for this.

Note to Readers, on the Invasion of Ukraine
A faceplant of my own.
Matt Taibbi
Feb 24
Part of news and even commentary is admitting mistakes, and though I always made sure when discussing the subject to note Vladimir Putin could still invade Ukraine, I have to admit, I didn’t see this happening. Some old colleagues I trust, including some Putin-critical Russians, didn’t see it, either, but in many cases they just didn’t want to believe it, for reasons that are more understandable from their perspective. My mistake was more like reverse chauvinism, being so fixated on Western misbehavior that I didn’t bother to take this possibility seriously enough. To readers who trust me not to make those misjudgments, I’m sorry. Obviously, Putin’s invasion will have horrific consequences for years to come and massively destabilize the world.
I fear there will be more to say soon, but I’ll leave it at that for today. When you’re wrong, you’re wrong, and I was wrong about this.

Man refused to hand over his wallet and was shot in the chest by Black. His daughter felt sorry for him from the beginning, thinking how stupid it was for him to throw his life away for a wallet. Now she likes to think that her father, a large and loud man, frightened him and that he fired in self defense.
In other words, he is innocent and her father was guilty.
Something similar happened out in Utah, too. Maybe Nevada. A black dude killed a woman in a robbery, was sentenced to a long stretch in prison. The women’s niece then worked to get the sentenced suspended and offered the convict help when he got out. About a month later the parolee killed the niece. Story didn’t get much publicity.

Mary
Microwave energy was condemned in the seventies when the first ovens were built. Microwave energy was blamed for brain cancers when cell phones came out. Much research and studying was done. What happened? Both sides put out information that supported their side. Surprise!!
The people just kept buying microwave ovens and cell phones. You do not hear anything much any more about adverse effects.
Does this sound familiar? It should.
Sidebar. You have been looking for a possible substitute for a virus with Covid. Maybe the saturation of the atmosphere with microwave radiation is messing with immune systems of susceptible people. Maybe the microwave energy enhances any action a virus might have.
Maybe? We know nothing about much of anything. Pollution, microwave saturation, viruses, MRSA and other antibiotic resistant bacteria, globalism, AGW changes.
What is the combination of all the above doing to humanity, AND the rest of Gaia?
Are you not aware that cancer has ballooned since the 1970s?
John, good post. We don’t know much, true. Perhaps the combination of all the factors you mention, and others, has made us into imbeciles. Retards. There also seems to be more cancer, as Mary points out, incl in children, which was pretty rare in the past.
Another factor – and can of worms – is chemtrails. I dunno anything, either. I used to know an old timer, USAF retired, that stated to me he had been on many of the flights, and knows they were spraying aluminum particulates, whatever that is. He had no clue as to the why.
I do know that sometimes I start my day all bright, happy and alert, then I start seeing the grid pattern up high, and the mood and the day go to hell.
Rulo, I always took you for a level headed person. Talk of chemtrails is nonsense. Aluminum particulates? i doubt it. I am much more afraid of aluminum cookware and aluminum beer cans. At the fire house they were making chili and pasta sauce in large aluminum restaurant pots. The acid in the tomatoes would corrode the shit out of the pans and horribly ruin the food. I scrapped all the cookware and we replaced it with Stainless steel. Not cheap. I have read that aluminum causes Alzheimers. Nobody used Aluminum cookware 75 years ago. Put some aluminum foil on a plate of lasagna and look at the holes burned through it the next day. Guess where that aluminum ended up.
Elmo’s, that’s the thing. I don’t know much. Isn’t it philosophy’s job #1 to determine what it is possible to know, and then try to know it?
The USAF geezer didn’t know either, but he knew they were doing the particulates thing. Didn’t know why or anything else. So I take that info and file it, and realize there’s sometimes a definite reaction in my mood when I see the very strange grid pattern up high, which is not the usual contrail travel routes, with which I’m familiar.
Without wasting time on a single conspiracy book or website. Just the 2¢ that right now amount to the sum total of what I know about it.
Glad to hear if you have a definite reason why this cannot be, or the explanation for the particulates (weather manipulation?), or anything else.
Maybe it’s concentrated/directed 5G microwaves. Here’s a real good gloss, from Sabine Hossenfelder. It’s not the power per photon with 5G. That’s harmless. Below infrared. It’s the volume of photons per time period, if I grok it properly. Not caused by radiation, but can still be harmful in quantity.

The Fall of Canada, The Danger in the US
Understanding Martial Law
– Naomi Wolf
“The world has watched, in pain, as images of police violence from Ottawa, and of a bid for Canadian tyranny (that I would ever write those words!) are flashed around the world.
As usual, I hate to be Cassandra; but the chessboard ahead is all too clear. On Feb 12, 2022, I warned, during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom, that we all must all now brace for a period during which the powers that now clearly seek to enslave our planet, and subdue our human species, will be broadcasting scenes of civil society mayhem, and of shocking violence against protesters.
I also predicted that there would be food shortages and other economic harms that would be blamed on the protesting truckers, and I warned too that people should print out their bank and any liquid asset records, as there would be cyberattacks on financial institutions and the freezing of accounts. All of that, of course, took place in the week that followed.
I recently received a kind note on social media thanking me for my bulletins about the near future as it helped people, the writer explained, to stave off shock and disorientation. I have often spoken about how tyrants rely on just these effects of shock and disorientation to “tenderize” a targeted population, so I will keep alerting you all to the near future, as unpleasant as that task can be.
So in this essay I wish to explain, especially to Canadians, what martial law really is, and how very dangerous it is, since many leaders there, especially Parliamentarians, appear to be in the treacherous “hangover” state of thinking that they still inhabit the old world that died when Justin Trudeau declared emergency law. I also wish to warn what happens historically at this moment in the decline of a formerly democratic nation, and what the murder of Canadian democracy — at least for now — means to the rest of the world.”
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/the-fall-of-canada-the-danger-in
“…to stave off shock and disorientation.”
And that is why it is so important to analyze what is going on now, and to attempt to extrapolate from that possible future directions. Once you have considered possibilities, some of which may be horrific, you are less likely to be surprised if you see them approaching on the horizon, and less likely to flee into fantasy-fueled denial.
On the other hand, it is so much easier to trust those who tell you what you want to hear. Any wonder most of us here find ourselves in an ostracized minority?
Proud owner of an ostrakón here…
I found the handle broken off from an amphora off the coast of Caesarea. Carefully wrapped it in a sweatshirt for the trip home. Forgot about it by the time I unpacked. Got three ostraka now. Just need to write something nasty on them and find three deserving windows.

and then act like they don’t know the difference between male and female?
Are they trolling me?
or is this some poorly designed, super long game, 9 dimension chess move?
Im serious.
Where is this going?
Oh my friend. You know where it’s going. Russia is the Motherland. Germany is the Fatherland. Father kicks the shit out of Mother.
Of course Stalingrad was an anomaly.
And Nordstream 2?
EU announced today they don’t need Russian natgas, they’re doubling down on renewables to “keep the factories running and the lights on”. We will see how that works out. Too bad Germany shut down 3 of their 6 nuke plants just a few months ago. The timing couldn’t be worse. And of course coal fired plants are a pariah. “We’d rather freeze to death in the dark than return to dirty coal.” Ok, you might have to.
Stelmosfire, you can’t be serious. Father has always done better when he gets along with Mother–and gets clobbered when he doesn’t.
A war between father and mother would be a disaster for the whole world, yes.
But mother can do to father what US B-17s and B-25s did to Father’s ancestors Hamburg, Dresden, etc, much more quickly and render the Fatherland uninhabitable for the next 5,000 years.
Mother will survive. Father won’t. IMO.
Not a good topic to joke about. Just saying.
As they say, “Happy wife means happy life”
“Yes dear” has worked for me for 37 years now. So there’s always that. Now go get me a beer and make me a sammitch.

It will also bring down the military, the government and education.

That’s also why there has to be a ground war here in N.A..

So here we are, the news will be confirmed soon that the good Queen Mum is quite possibly already dead, much like our “President” Biden:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/jason-lee-doubles-down-on-queen-elizabeth-ii-dead-story-we-don-t-post-lies/ar-AAUcxzd?ocid=msedgntp
The Queen is dead! God save the Queen!
God: “No thanks, I’m good.”
Dead or alive, it don’t matter. They’ve got a meth/steroid elixer now, daily injections ensure a lifelike hue for years after actual death. Nancy Pelosi gets the shot, administered by the same Dr Feelgood who takes care of Biden. What, you think Joe Biden is still amongst the living? Think again! The only problem is the body still deteriorates as in a dead person so don’t be surprised if some night soon Biden is giving a speech and his jaw falls off in the middle of it, and when he bends down to pick up his jaw his arms fall off. (Then it will be time to cut to a commercial, featuring a young black family living in a high end suburb with a golden retriever and two well dressed children, selling a $125,000 EV, which they are taking on a camping trip at Mt. Katahdin in Maine).
That’s preposterous! All television commercial families are of mixed race.

Very good tom. I believe you posted this a day or two ago as well.
Two commas missing, you dumb hack.
I Googled this question: Is the placement of commas an art or a science?
Google responded: “Correct comma usage is an art, not a science. Writers will sometimes disagree on when to use a comma or omit one.”
@ Q.:
There are very specific rules for the use of commas. They can be found in the Chicago Manual of Style.
Some comma usage is somewhat flexible, as this is to some extent a matter of style (rather than actual rules). Usage will vary depending on which style sheet is selected. From an editorial standpoint, wherever the usage of commas is stylistic, there is still a requirement for consistency within a given work.
Anthea has tried to help you familiarize yourself with a good source on not just style, but the use of basic punctuation.
You can also consult Strunk and White if CMS is too complicated.
I would leave you alone, if you didn’t make so many mistakes yourself and were not such a useless cunt.
Some comma usage is somewhat flexible, as this is to some extent a matter of style (rather than actual rules). – Anthea
===========
Bingo! I rest my case.
I have read Strunk and White, and almost everything William Safire and David Foster Wallace have written about punctuation. Also read Eats, Shoots & Leaves. I’ve concluded that punctuation, especially as regards commas, is roughly 35% art and 65% science.
As such, I punctuate in a way that I feel will accurately convey my meaning.
You punctuate like an ESL student.
Q. Shtik:
The hard-and-fast rules of comma usage exist for the precise purpose of accurately conveying meaning. The Oxford comma is a good example–i.e., “a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before ‘and’ or ‘or’ (e.g. an Italian painter, sculptor, and architect). Also called serial comma.” Omitting it often causes confusion. Oddly, most style sheets no longer espouse the serial comma–though the CMS did, back in the day.
Another comma rule that is helpful in avoiding confusion is the rule that you must “place a comma between independent clauses when they are joined by a coordinating conjunction.”
The rule for dependent clauses is, “Dependent Clauses. If the dependent clause comes before the independent clause, use a comma. Even though it was raining,…”
There are, of course, still more hard-and-fast rules, and they exist as an aid to clarity.
Rutgers* B-ball team plays Michigan at Michigan tonight at 7 pm if anyone cares. It is the first of their last 4 games of the regular season.
The pronunciation if you are Albanian is Rooot gairz.
Is that the same Michigan team whose coach punched out an opposing coach last week? Or was that Michigan State?

I think the Ukrainian situation was meant to exacerbate – as well as distract from – the financial disorders now at hand.
Higher fuel prices in Zooropa mean higher prices here in U$. More wealth floats to the top. More people join those on the bottom.
Germany closed off Nord Stream 2, but left Nord Stream 1 open. Playing at playing along.
I agree completely on Russia/Ukraine as a distraction from domestic politics in U.S. and Canada. Whatever justification Putin had for his decision, he probably just propped up the Biden and Castreau regimes for the rest of the year. The “NEWS” will be non stop foreign policy for the time being with little on the Durham investigation of Hillary, the urban crime wave and southern border invasion.
That seems a bit self-centered.
“Whatever Putin had to justify his decision” is actually to stop the murder of people in Donbass.
So he’s going to stop little children from sleeping in fear in their basements so that they don’t end up dead like the other children, and it’s all about US domestic problems?
Putin doesn’t control the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda, but he can put a stop to the Nazi sociopaths killing the people of Donbass.
Probably Putin doesn’t give a flying fuck about US political intrigue. Just a guess…..
Right on Paula!
My concern is that, mailed absentee ballots may not be enough, and they may cancel our elections this November.
There is NO Constitutional provision for cancelling elections, of course.
Yet
“Putin continues to meddle in US elections. The evil dictator invaded democratic Ukraine, forcing our principled President to respond with sanctions, which raised the price of oil to $xxx and caused inflation, which people are wrongly blaming on the President. Putin deliberately invaded Ukraine to undermine our economy and effect our democracy. To stop him, we must cancel the election in November because too many Americans have been misled. We do this to preserve our Republic for the future.”
(never mind that we’ve had inflation since last year, and it won’t leave for a while–even without sanctions or Ukraine)
And don’t forget, Putin is obviously supporting that gang of violent trans-phobic Nazi truckers that are plunging fear into the heart of our nation.
Someone needs to lock up these Russia-supported and Russia-supporting terrorists – but who? Who has the balls of steel needed to say, “Back off Mr. Putin! It’s MY turn!” Yes, I wonder…
I was gonna celebrate with a little potato salad up here when I realized trudy hasn’t yet rescinded martial law, just said he would on friday…

Important Bank Information
My buddy in Florida just had a conversation with his brother in-law who is a VP for portfolio management of mid sized accounts in Calgary,
this past weekend him and his wife just took a 30 day stress leave from the bank effective Friday last week and went to Arizona for relief.
According to him last week was living hell at the TD Bank with customers calling in complete panic to get their funds out of the banking system, he said the emails, text messages and calls was too much for him to handle, plus TD bank wasn’t paying him enough for the abuse he was getting.
He was absolutely powerless and couldn’t help anyone get their funds out, he also had some larger clients that had all their accounts frozen.
The bank run is real folks, they are keeping it quite…
Also locally here the local feed store told me about a customer that went to the bank last Friday to get $2,700 cash to buy some products from the feed store that he had custom made by the Mennonites which the local feed store is an agent for, it took him over 90 mins to get the cash and had to have a sit down meeting with the local manager at the TD Bank here
this is crazy what is happening, I’ve withdrawal much larger sums from the same TD bank and never had this type of problem in and out in 10-15 mins
Seems like they weren’t really prepared, huh? I mean really, that’s all they have? Delaying peoples’ withdrawals?
Yah Mare, looks like the feds told the banks to stop all large withdrawals, regardless of “enemy of the state-trucker” status.
And the banks, what could they do? Pretty scary cuz you just know, next time everybodys money will be frozen.

Well, contact them and tell them how fucked up they are.
Might be why Turdeau called off the martial law he had planned.
Ha. Jussie Trudeau backed off from his Fifth Reich grab. Those Emergency Powers didn’t last long. Ohhh, but I bet it felt good for those sweet ten days.
Of course, progressives will say he’s just being reasonable as the capital isn’t “in danger” anymore.
Two questions:
– Will he apologize (to be truly Canadian)?
– Are the truckers getting their money back? Like…<em?now?
He says all accounts will be unfrozen by friday. Now, what could happen in the interim? Hmmm, and what about gofundme and givesendgo? Or are they already in the gov. coffers.
There are 1000 trucks parked in a field just outside Ottawa.
Will WWIII be the next excuse to track and seize?
Already tracking, obviously.
They’re just recalibrating, and will try another tack. They won’t be just giving up, you can bank on that.
“…you can bank on that.”
Sure about that?
World Economic Forum Proposes Digital ID System That Collects People’s Data to Determine Their Level of Access to Services
@G3News: The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently published its latest proposal—a far-reaching digital ID system that collects as much data as possible on people and then uses it to determine their level of access to various services.
“This digital ID proposal is outlined in a report titled “Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries (https://www.weforum.org/reports/advancing-digital-agency-the-power-of-data-intermediaries)” and builds upon a digital ID framework that the WEF has published previously (https://reclaimthenet.org/world-economic-forum-id/). Under this framework, the WEF proposes collecting data from people’s “everyday lives” through their devices, telecommunications networks, and third-party service providers.
The WEF suggests that this dragnet would allow a digital ID to scoop up data on people’s online behavior, purchase history, network usage, credit history, biometrics, names, national identity numbers, medical history, travel history, social accounts, e-government accounts, bank accounts, energy usage, health stats, education, and more.
Once the digital ID has access to this huge, highly personal data set, the WEF proposes using it to decide whether users are allowed to “own and use devices,” “open bank accounts,” “carry out online financial transactions,” “conduct business transactions,” “access insurance, treatment,” “book trips,” “go through border control between countries or regions,” “access third-party services that rely on social media logins,” “file taxes, vote, collect benefits,” and more.”
https://reclaimthenet.org/world-economic-forum-pushes-digital-id/
An objective assessment would conclude that there are many aspects of the Build Back Better / Great Reset agendas that would improve the everyday lives for the masses in the future.
The problem I have is that it is just a hop, skip, and a jump for an individual’s digital ID and personal data set to get to a guy like Xi’s hand.
One also needs to realize that much of this is already being implemented, it just needs a stamp of approval by all of the world legal systems.
Cash cash cash.
I going to the bank right now!
BTW, this:
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/canada/trudeau-backs-down-after-banks-scream-about-massive-withdrawals/
The harm is probably
already done.
Seems like a good deal for US banks!
I view Trudeau’s action on the order of that which Uncle Abraham posted in reference to a ram several weeks ago: “And remember, when they’re backing up, they’re not backing away.”.
Armstrong posts that “They (the WEF globalists) are basically desperate at this stage.”.
I assume that he would know better than myself, but that is not my read. I view demolition of the existing format for life as the mission of this phase of the agenda, and actions by the likes of Trudeau is to poke the hornets nest, and when it gets too dangerous, run like hell and save himself for the next task, and when he is no longer of any use, to set as many things up for failure as he can on his way out (same for Biden, Fauci, etc.).
How ’bout the Amerikan truckers? How’s their slog from LA to DC goin’? Curious minds want to know.
Will a Russian invasion be strictly land based, using artillery, armor and infantry, or will the Russian Airforce be delivering “Shock and Awe” with pinpoint and tactical bombing, and the Russian Navy launching cruise missiles from destroyers on station in the Black Sea? Last year in the Azerbaijan-Armenia War tank busting drones mfg in Israel made their debut and we will see some of those deployed too.
Yes, inquiring minds want to know!
Will this imaginary Russian invasion do everything they have promised us so many times before, or will it be another bust pedaled by lying liars?
Gosh, the suspense is killing me!
You and Islander (both ardent Anti-Americans) always love the “enemy”, either real or imagined. You two didn’t think he’d go into the Donbas but he did. Who knows what he will do in the face of such utter provocation? As it stands, a lot of Russians will be left out in the cold to suffer persecution. West of the Dnieper, there are few Russians. He may be thinking along these lines too.
I agree that none of this would have happened if NATO and/or Biden and/or Ukraine had just announced that Ukraine would not be joining NATO and meant it.
Jarek, I understand the US and NATO have said the Ukraine will not join.
But they refuse to put it in writing.
The US, Britain, France and Germany SAID NATO would not expand.
So Putin wanted it in writing this time. That makes sense to me.
Russia wanted the Ukraine to abide by the Minsk Accords and stop harassing the Russians in Eastern Ukraine. I understand the US and NATO agreed with this–but they were unwilling or unable to get the comic from Ukraine to sign it.
So, the Russians’ patience ran out.
The news (and the includes FOX, excluding Tucker Carlson) is so biased, lying and misleading–just as bad as with the mRNA shots.
We (the US) already had inflation. It was inevitable. It picked up in summer 2021, and will not subside for a while. It was inevitable.
Now, the “sanctions” will require us to “do our small part” and price increases will be the fault of the evil Putin, because HE made our noble government implement the sanctions because of “principle” to “fight aggression” and “stand up for democracy”
So in the White House, they have solved inflation by making it Putin’s fault. You see? It’s all good, my CFN friends!
It was decided back in 2008. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors. Putin obviously knew about their decision and has been trying to make them reverse it. To no avail and under increasing provocation. Why he let them do the coup a few years ago is the question. Maybe he wasn’t ready? But Tonight he is!
He is no friend of the White race of course. But he doesn’t hate us the way the West does. Civic Nationalism verging on Empire a la the theories of Dugin apparently. Won’t work because of Islam, not that it would really work anyway. But he won’t listen.
Jarek loves the USA, regardless of how dumb and evil it is.
“but they were unwilling or unable to get the comic from Ukraine to sign it.”
Ukraine already signed on to the Minsk Accords (hammered out under auspices of the UN and carrying the same legal force, I believe, as a UN resolutioin).
Neither Russia nor the USA are signatories.
Russia urged the Ukraine to abide by the accords and get the situ with the Donbass settled (this was the aim of the Accords).
The USA urged and encouraged and rewarded the Ukraine NOT to stick to the Accords that it had signed.
That is the big difference. Instead of bringing a peaceful settlement to the whole country via the steps outlined in the Accords, Ukraine chose to bombard and ethnic-cleanse the Donbass.
After a last-ditch diplomatic effort to salvage the situation via diplomacy, and now feeling strong enough to back up their bark with bite, and after the German PM ridiculed the ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians in the Donbass, the Russians had had enough.
They said, basically, this is the end of the shit slinging monkeys in the Ukraine, the end of sand kicking in the Ukraine, the end of baiting the bear in Ukraine; the end of using the Ukraine to play schoolyard politics with NS2—you get the picture.
Let’s roll!
??????? ????????!
Islander: What a dumb thing to say. Don’t project your fanaticism on to me. My view: My country right or wrong. If right to be kept right. If wrong, to be put right.
I’d expect pin-point strikes on every Ukie missile site, artillery site, and hand-held rocket launcher that fires into the new republics. Encirclement and capture of all Ukie forces illegally in Donetsk and Lugansk. Arrest and trial of Ukie officers responsible for war crimes by illegally attacking the break-away republics – even if Spetznaz forces have to sneak, dressed as grandmothers on holiday, into Lvov to get them. Independence will be short-lived as the republics petition Russia for annexation.
From “our side”, more yelling, more sanctions, higher energy prices, higher inflation, more bank bail-outs. Immiserate the working class, enrich the ruling class. Business as usual.
And the Ukraine? Another coup. Another U$-installed puppet worse than the last.
Increased unrest in the south and east. Continued poking at the bear. “Ukraine” gradually erodes to Galicia and Volhynia.
more sanctions, higher energy prices, higher inflation, – Blackbird

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday that my local Costco’s price for regular gas was only $3.339/gal. It cost $70 and change to fill my pickup.
The next lowest gas price was $3.459/gal at a Raceway station just 2 miles away.
I just heard Biden say that Oil companies should NOT take this opportunity to jack up gas prices. Right! As if.
It’s early ‘Stick. Gotta refill the propane tank in about a week. $3.09/gal three weeks ago. Next week? Over $4? I hope my prediction was wrong…

This was one of those infuriating nights where Rutgers just couldn’t make a basket. They lost 71 – 62.
I was surprised to see that the Michigan head coach was being punished with a 5 game suspension for striking an opposing teams assistant coach. Filling in as head coach was Phil Martelli, former head coach of St Joe’s (in Philly). I discovered he had been fired from St Joe’s in March 2019 after 24 years coaching there. St Joe’s is my first Alma Mater.
Did you play back in the day, Q?
No, little talent and too slow.
an opposing team’s assistant coach.
71-62. That’s not too bad Q. Face facts, you’re NIT bound.
You know what pisses me off about basketball? The refs let the players get away with traveling (which used to be called walking) with the ball. As I observe a game I can spot at least 50 incidences of traveling.
Also, fouling is constant but only sometimes is a foul called.
100%. Can’t watch it anymore; just want to blow traveling whistles the whole time.
Q,
The rules of Basketball were written by an old white man…the rules be racist.
“Let `em play” is the abiding principal. Nobody is attending an NCAA basketball game to see the refs blowing a whistle every 10 seconds.
You know the main thing I don’t like about basketball? 100+ points per game. Move that basket up another 3 feet.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/i-saw-israeli-bulldozer-kill-rachel-corrie-1919464.html
We remember the heroism of the man who defied the tank in Tiananmen Square, but never give credit to the driver who refused to kill him. In Palestine, Rachael Corrie showed the same courage, but was not met with the same decency. The driver was cleared as was the military in general. Akmo admitted that the bulldozer is kept as a sacred object for pilgrims to view.
You can’t shame the shameless – or those with a different moral pov. There is such a thing as Universal Morality in the abstract, but few adhere to it in thick of events. Thus people differ radically in their interpretation of events. Tank man was made into a hero in the West, but no doubt many Chinese see him differently. Likewise Corrie is a hero to many Leftists, but a villain in Israel and a fool to the American conservatives who support Israel and Israel in America.
Ukrainian airfields under assault. Kiev hit by a Russian cruise missile. The Mountain has moved. A Man has spoken, so it shall be written. So it shall be done.
Paula and Islander totally wrong again. Comical. Women simply cannot understand the male mind and should not be allowed to interfere in our affairs.
No.
Totally right.
Poor Yorik with his “male mind.”
I’ll admit that I didn’t see this coming.
I thought that Russia would stay in Donbass and play defense while protecting the people there.
But I can see that this is a better solution to the problem.
Why put your soldiers in to play whack-a-mole?
The US and NATO have poured billions of dollars worth of military weapons into Ukraine. Removing it is like draining the swamp instead of slapping at mosquitoes.
Thank you Paula. I didn’t either. I thought he’d stop with the Donbas, which was bold but like what he did with Crimea. But they wouldn’t accept it and kept screaming. Then “predicting” terrorism and the starting it in the Donbas and blaming Russia.
One understands the mania that started WW1 and 2 better now. The same group started them all, the one that owns the media.
The Great Russian Bear attacks in an attempt to claim territory that is much closer to it than it is to the United States. Yet the usual diatribe damns the Russians, as if the US has never tried to extend its influence and control over Ukraine.
Putin the Bear vs. Biden the Bewildered. Biden, who won’t protect his own country’s borders, who ostensibly leads a nation filled with faggots, lesbians, pusillanimous professors, transgendered perverts, child molesters, critical race theorists, racist black promoters, culture changers, Hollywood narcissists and effetes, Media sycophants and liars, medical and tech tyranny, and capacious corporate greed.
It seems that the goal is to have a country unworthy of defense.
And here is Putin:
‘Sometimes I think, maybe it would be better for our bear to sit quiet, rather than chasing around the forest after piglets. To sit eating berries and honey instead. Maybe they will leave it in peace. They will not. Because they will always try to put him on a chain, and as soon as they succeed in doing so they tear out his fangs and his claws.
[Putin says that by fangs and claws he meant Russia’s nuclear weapons. And the West wants to weaken Russia, he says, to win control over its rich natural resources.]
Once they’ve taken out his claws and his fangs, then the bear is no longer necessary. He’ll become a stuffed animal. The issue is not Crimea, the issue is that we are protecting our sovereignty and our right to exist.’
More Putin:
‘I have always loved and avidly read the novels of Jack London, Jules Verne and Ernest Hemingway. The characters depicted in their books, who are brave and resourceful people embarking on exciting adventures, definitely shaped my inner self and nourished my love for the outdoors.’
Putin over the geriatric grifter Biden any day of the week. The fangs of Putin over the ‘false teeth’ of Biden.
That’s quite a comprehensive list in paragraph #2, TS; the only groups left out is the 2 million fentanyl addicts and another million or so meth tweakers. I know, what a population.
Well said, well put. Putin is a strong leader and cares more about the country he rules over than the allegedly elected Biden the Bewildered. With Russia you have a vast panoply of resources and hard working people. With the USA you have a bunch of self entitled sluffs who think the government will just continue to give them handout after handout. I would put my money on Mother Russia any day of the week.
Excellent comment, spur.
Agree with Heckler, that’s a T-34 of a second para.
Compare reading lists:
Putin: Hemingway, London, Verne.
Biden: Drag Queen Story Hour.
He took the Russian zones after they began false flags there. Then they “predicted” general terrorist attacks against Russia. They weren’t content with rattling the cage, they were jabbing the bear with a hockey stick. Why wait until they were ready with their anti-tanks drones in place? Only one side wanted peace. So the Bear opened the cage and went after his tormentors.

NO,
a pandemic is a good cover for the ‘digital panopticon’… war an even better one. It’s a two front attack now. Two sets of fig leaves to justify the ‘inevitable’…
For our safety and security, of course.
Indeed, to safeguard our privacy the solution is (obviously!) to be forced to give all of our private information, second-to-second, each day for eternity, to a faceless AI control grid.
Run benevolently by the handful of trillionaires who care so very much for us and our wellbeing, of course.
You guys are right. A headline today said, “Cyber attacks coincide with military in Ukraine.” It will probably be about the “Russian” cyber threat now.
Can we even hold an election this year in the face of vicious, in-your-face Russian interference? I’d suggest we postpone all gratuitous voting until we get Putin out of the voting booth. Might wanna flip the switch on the internet too until we can get the misinformation cleared out.
Blackbird, I never thought they would give up elections, with their guaranteed ability to divide-and-conquer and distract.
But, maybe.
They are a farce anyway.
“U.S. President Joe Biden said he was praying for Ukrainian victims of an “unprovoked and unjustified attack.”
CFN’rs,
WAR.
I want you all to stop and consider all the bad things you have been saying about Biden…He is ON THE CASE!
Praying
Developing catchy phrases like “unprovoked and unjustified”…right up there with “Day of Infamy”.
I know he is doing other stuff, too….
What other stuff? Toddling around the White House in bathrobe and slippers? Getting his meth/steroid shot that sees him thru another day? Launching campaigns against ‘fossil fuels’, promoting Trans Rights, and rooting ‘White Supremacists’ out of the US Army?
Don’t forget backgammon and shuffleboard. And Thursday is pudding day.
Backgammon is too difficult for Joe, now.
Is Biden racist if he eats vanilla pudding?
Nope, he’s safe. According to a very important story from Jan 2021, his favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate chip. Phew.
“What other stuff?”
Fondling and sniffing – the Big Guy’s gold medal events.
One has to wonder, is the intrepid executive Biden-Harris team up to dealing with these epic disasters befalling us and the world?
“The adults are back in charge”- Joe Biden, on Inauguration Day.
Really? After the way Trump was treated for 4 years by the lying MSM and lefty elites in the DC/Manhattan axis, Silicon Valley and Hollywood, I’m happy to see the fraudelent Biden-Harris team ground up into fine dust — f##k em, that’s what I say.
Harris handled everything so well on our southern border, I’m sure they will send her into the midst of Kiev with a flack jacket and everything will immediately be made better. Without a doubt, she is a foreign policy guru.
Jim, have a look at the situation from the aspect that Biden and his cohorts are simply setting things up for implementation of the Build Back Better / Great Reset agendas.
Sure, the international conflict is a distraction, that’s a secondary benefit, but I would suggest that their primary objective is to transition control of the US military to NATO.
All the steps taken so far seem to be a fit, and watch for the actions to be structured in such a way that that in a worst case scenario, it will be impossible for a future administration to unscramble the egg.
Thank goodness we are all going to have to make that sacrifice to pay more money at the pump, for our food, and other necessities, just so that The Ukraine can fight for its freedom. I am sure they will always remember these sacrifices we are making and be ever grateful and nothing but friendly to the good old USA. Yes indeed, I will sleep better at night knowing I am paying my dues for the people we all love so much in The Ukraine. I am sure this will all be more than worth it in the end……NOT!!!!!
I believe west Europe has the sacrifice role for now.
Vlad drops the hammer on Ukraine and their anglo saxon handlers.
Biden threatens to send pronouns and rainbow flags.
*be afraid, be very afraid*

Good new for the Weekend!
It is but one step and one in the right direction.
I must say I didn’t think Putin would oblige the west and “invade?!?” just now but there you are.
I hope it doesnt distract “Wee the Sheeple” to much.
After all the covid restrictions are about themselves and not some country Far-Far-Away they do not giv-a-dam about?
Pretty soon Putin will be saying to The Ukraine “All your base are belong to us.” Someone needs to make a meme to this effect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
Well, we have Christine Wormuth, Secretary of the Army, a PolySci graduate of Williams College and a staffer on Biden’s campaign team. Sec. Wormuth’s stated mission is to ‘Combat climate change’, and “bring the US Army’s carbon footprint down to 0.”
Putin doesn’t have much to worry about from that quarter IMHO.
Williams College. Another Massachusetts liberal arts shithole. Graduates include Mika Brzezinski, Erin Burnett(featured on CFN a couple weeks ago) and “Dick” Helms of CIA fame.
Stelmose, Williams might be elitist and lefty, but it’s a pretty nice place. The campus is beautiful.
Buildings are one thing. Brains are another. You can’t fix stupid.
I just ordered a tank of no. 2. That’s not a poop joke Islander. $3.72 a gallon. $1071.00. I use a tank a season. Last week the price was $3.32. 12 % increase in just one week. Of course Food and energy do not figure into the CPI. I also bought split chicken breasts for .99 a lb on sale loaded with free hormones. So there is that. Jimmy Carter says wear a sweater and find a snuggle buddy.
Finished fencing off my property. Doing taxes the other day, I realized the rolls of fencing wire & the posts are now a cool 100% more expensive than a year ago.
“That’s not a poop joke Islander. ”
What the hell does that mean?
Have you come down with Jarek’s Syndrome?
Nah. Islander. I just figure ya for a typical Masshole
Here is the USA “Our broken infrastructure, rising cost of living and disintegrating public services represent our best line of defense because there’s not much left that’s actually worth attacking.”
I guess we will all have to give up our Russian caviar and vodka in a vow of solidarity with our Ukrainian brethren!
How about our Russian oil? Not trivial.
Heard a report this AM saying we are getting more of our foreign oil from Russia than Saudi Arabia.
If so, we are in deep shit.
Sanctions are for Zooropa. I read yesterday that our trade deficit with Russia in 2021 was $23 billion. Yeah, we’re tightening the screws alright!
There’s gonna be some eurotrash comedy when sanctions are discussed. The Italians want to leave luxury goods and wine out, the Belgians, diamonds, the Germans need their gas.
In the end, they’ll slap punitive tariffs on vodka and nesting dolls, and ban Russian football teams from int’l competition. “That’ll learn ya!”
Meanwhile, I (illegally?) reconnect the wood stove to the chimney.
The sanctions are not to hurt Russia – they are to hurt us.
Bird, bravo for the wood stove. It’s what’s kept me warm this winter of 21F (-5C!) in North FL. Good move!
Rules,
Hasn’t gotten below 55F in Key West this winter (according to weather.com). Hasn’t gotten above 52F in my house since November.
A pirate’s life is lookin’ better all the time.
Well in my state, we are considering opening up the State House after nearly 2 years. You know virus and shit. It’s unsafe. My sister at the DEP has been home for 2 years. Full pay, 100G’s a year. pretty much watching Seinfeld reruns. Many people working from home tell me they were not really working at all. My pals at the firehouse worked through the whole thing. They are also getting huge bonus payments from the Feds, because you know, heroes and shit. Just doing the job which they are paid for.
When we were at Foxwoods, the restaurants were badly short-staffed because they couldn’t get help. WTF? How can people afford to not work, particularly when you’re talking about unskilled workers?
The next time I go downtown, maybe I’ll go to the State House and ask Charlie what the hell’s going on.
It’s closed to the public 700+ days and counting. No roll call votes, all secret, good luck locating Charlie.
A good friend of mine owns a pretty big construction company. Loaders, graders, tri-axles and the like. SLO JOES,build back better bill is going to be a huge windfall for his outfit. The roads may need it but the grift in Massachusetts is gonna be epochal.. Just like the big Dig. Enjoy CFN.
As an example. From the Wiki.
The Big Dig was the most expensive highway project in the US, and was plagued by cost overruns, delays, leaks, design flaws, charges of poor execution and use of substandard materials, criminal arrests, The project was originally scheduled to be completed in 1998[5] at an estimated cost of $2.8 billion (in 1982 dollars, US$7.4 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2020).[6] However, the project was completed in December 2007 at a cost of over $8.08 billion (in 1982 dollars, $21.5 billion adjusted for inflation, meaning a cost overrun of about 190%)[6]

Yes I agree we should be focusing on our infrastructure and our costs of living and public services, etc. I do feel like if we had more or less mind our own business and focused on these things we wouldn’t be in this situation at this time.
Well, stage One of the Biden “tear down America” program is in full swing right now. Sino-Russia is stretching itself to see what Biden’s East Coast mob is going to do.
Answer nothing. Sanctions, what a fricking joke that one is, let me tell you a secret, what is going to happen the all of NATO including us, energy and inflation wise, is going to be worse than any sanctions we might put on.
When the blame game is run in about a week, my nomination is the Deep State/Democratic motto,
Do nothing – Make excuses – Cover your Ass
One good thing that is coming hopefully, recognition of how weak the US is right now , thanks to Biden and his gang of cowards, perverts, do nothings, know nothings. Recognition of what a diplomatic barrier Trump put in front of Putin, Xi and Un. Remember how he made a point of meeting with all three to establish a personal basis for relations. All three knew personally who and what they were dealing with. We did not have the geopolitical push pull we have now.
Listening to Fox this AM. What a mess. The MIC is in full force. Russia, Russia, Russia. Putin is going to take over the world.
The source of the power imbalance now is three fold.
Biden, Biden and Biden. Destroy the US. Let the New World Order gain power. Blame Putin for the reneging of all the 1990s deals to shut down the USSR. We reneged.
We did not help Russia recover economically, we started plunging knives.
We did not halt advancement of NATO eastward, it now sits on the Russian border.
We have manipulated the situation via Ukraine ever since, fooling with free elections, installing puppet states on Russia’s southern border. Even our corrupt First Family, the Biden mob has participated personally, directly with the mob in Ukraine. If you remember, Trump tried to get the Ukrainians to investigate the corruption going on and got impeached for it.
I heard a joke on Fox. One of the talking heads said that the US needs to unify against the Russian threat. What a joke!
The Russians know that this re-establishment of control of their border will destabilize the US and our CW just gets closer. We are getting ready to pay for the political damage the gimmes did when they elected Biden in 2020.
And the economic realignment that is coming.
I noticed that Covid is not even being talked about today. About time.
Covid? WTF is that?
“The adults are back in charge”-Joe Biden 1/16/21!
LOL that didn’t age so well!
This is good, maybe its is about time for a nation like Russia to finally exert some power and reign in establishing a “new” new world order. Shake up the current world powers in the West and show them what they are in for. Who is really to say what the current world power structure should look like? The USA has meddled in so many insignificant affairs and mucked things up so bad around the world, it is about time we shuffle the deck and have some new hands on stage to bring about this change. The Obama supporters should all be willing to get behind this, since they support “change” and all.
Ok once again, Biden was not elected. He was installed
Border control…. the US is preparing to send CBC agents to Europe to help with the evolving “border crisis” and “influx of refugees”.
I suppose it will give them something to do as they have been rendered powerless here.
Apparently the Europeans can’t manage their own borders.
The Chinks are watching very carefully. Bidding their time to make a move on Taiwan. Sanctions? Russia and China don’t care about sanctions. Commerce between those 2 alone will keep them well afloat and stocked with what they need.
It’s the end of US hegemony. Multipolar world from now on. We’re now not the only ones with the God-given right to go anywhere in the world and kick ass at will.
Decline and fall…
Bidding their time – Rulo
=========
Biding
But, no problem, I knew what you meant.
Yes. Thank you. I still think “the” Ukraine is not at all wrong. There’s politics in language. So, the “the” implies it was never a nation or a country, but an agricultural zone, a breadbasket. “The vasty fields of France”, Shakespeare, Henry V. Removing the “the” makes a statement that it is not just a geographical, nationally amorphous zone, but a country, which it is not.
Rulo,
If we allow China to move against Taiwan, we would lose every friendly nation in Asia and the South Pacific.
Reality would not allow those nations to remain unaligned with China. A rational choice would have to be made.
As I have said before, the only way that we can Contain China is to nuclear arm Japan and South Korea…and then slowly back away.
elysian,
I hear you. But let me posit, how are Japan and Korea a US responsibility? As the fat years wind down, resources dwindle, can we afford to be the global sheriff? Taiwan, Japan, are very far from my North FL neck of the woods. Why should I care? Honest question.
Rulo,
In geopolitics, any hegemon, anywhere, can be considered a threat. It would cost us almost nothing to arm Japan and Korea…
Why did Nixon go to China? To put a thumb into the eye of the Russians, and it worked.
Consider India and Pakistan, both arguably shit-house-rat crazy, and yet…peace.
Ditto Japan and Korea. We can assure ourselves that a nervous peace would exist in that quadrant with adversaries that MUST respect one another.
We shouldn’t be effing nuclear-arming anyone.
Jesus.
Islander,
Does Jesus want China to attack Taiwan?
The solution is viable, cheap, and quick.
What is your solution to the Taiwan issue? WWJD?
Shooting missiles at people is extraordinarily rude so I hope various individuals are considering that closely in the erratic flux of the moment.
It is the only way to get a job done, certainly can’t do it with pixie dust and cotton candy.
Yeah, but what about the carbon emissions?
I think about that too. Here we are with with shortages of all kinds, high prices, etc. Yet we are willing to wage all these battles burning precious fossil fuels that cannot be replaced, destroy buildings and infrastructure that is costly to repair and replace, and turn metal into machines that will only be destroyed and sent to the scrap yard in a very short time. It is all a comical farce, but I am sure that the powers that be in the top 1% will be making a literal killing on all of this.
I bet they are too
It won’t be pixie dust, but radioactive dust when the Russians get to Chernobyl.
“If pixie dust and cotton candy aren’t the answer – change the question!” – Rainbow Jo
Well, who shot first?
As John Kerry — The Climate Czar — drolly observed in 2016 when Putin took Crimea, “How 19th century all of this is.”
RT
Ukrainian soldiers are abandoning their positions in the face of a Russian offensive, Moscow has asserted, while also claiming that its armed forces are not striking cities and pose “no threat” to civilians.
In a statement issued on Thursday morning, defense officials said that “intelligence shows that units of the Ukrainian army and servicemen are leaving their posts en masse, laying down their weapons.” No direct evidence has been presented to substantiate the statement.
According to the release, “Ukrainian Armed Forces positions that have laid down their weapons are not being attacked. The Russian armed forces are not striking Ukrainian cities. There is no threat to the civilian population.” Moscow says a number of military targets, including airfields, defense installations and airplanes have been hit by “high-precision weapons” as part of a “special operation” ordered by President Vladimir Putin.
However, Alexey Reznikov, Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, has called on his country’s citizens telling them to take up arms in the face of the Russian offensive. “The enemy attacks, but our army is unbreakable,” he wrote on Facebook. “Anyone who is ready and able to hold weapons may now join the Territorial Defense Forces in your local region.”
Jarek: The smart Ukies are throwing down their weapons and going home. Who wants to die for a fake country run by Israel and protected by really, really dumb Nazis? There will be no Gay Pride parade this year.
Total Russian dominance. It’s almost like he planned this. Again, why should he wait until the West was ready with its really deadly drone technology? Or tens of thousands of American troops?
China is sticking with Russia. Chinese planes reported in Taiwan air space. Uh oh!
Islander and Paula: Missing in action. Why? Everything they have ever had is a result of successful aggression by men of their own race. This split in consciousness is nothing new, alas. It has been part of America since the beginning. The Old West was very violent. Sometimes a fast draw sheriff and a hanging judge would work in concert to clean up a particularly bad town. And the reaction of the citizenry? Gratitude, right? Not a bit of it: They would vote the sheriff out asap. They can’t stand being reminded of the Reality that violence is necessary for civil life. They only want to see fruits and flowers – never the roots which must be dark and dirty but which make the former possible.
What? Your ukronazi Azov division were sissies after all their macho bluster and parades?
Good at murdering women and children in cold blood, chicken when pissed off Russian men kick down the door. For the 2nd time now…
You are implacably hostile to the White Man and his Civilization. You people control America now – and look at what you are doing to it and to the Whites who created it.
Your bag of tricks is limited, Vlad. You could have an honest conversation about Ukranian SS divisions and death camp guards, maybe about the death camps themselves.
But you prefer to misrepresent me and my thoughts, put words and opinions in me I never uttered. Many here know your modus operandi. Not a serious debater, more like a fabulist and equivocator.
I’m not hostile to white man and civilization. I drink and breathe Don Quixote, Shakespeare, Brahms and yes, Wagner. I’m happy and comfortable with my white heritage and culture. There’s many like me. Yet, all those many, and myself, refuse the swastika and the ghastly ideology you love. Let’s face it, when your kind show up with their Nazi memorabilia at any conservative, right wing, call it what you will, meeting, they get booed and bum-rushed out of the stage. Nobody wants to be associated with mass murderers, which ultimately is your ideology: mass murder.
I called them stupid, didn’t I? I mean they fought for the New World Order coup. How stupid is that?
The brutality of the Communism your uncle fought for dwarfs anything the Nazis ever did.
Your methods are more subtle and effective: calling endlessly for diversity and denying that homogeneity has any place in nature – as if Lions don’t war against other Lions. Or as if Male Lions try to hook up with female Leopards. FYI: They kill all that they catch.
Putin is no friends of the White race either – and hates White Nationalists, even the Russian ones. His civic nationalism is doomed to failure with millions of Muslims in the Moscow area alone and Chinese moving back into the rich lands of Southeastern Siberia.
Your faux conservatism hasn’t stopped the Communists who know who they are and what they believe. It hasn’t stopped the invasion of America by your beloved swarthies. And most of these “conservatives” are now screaming about the sacredness of Ukraine’s borders forgetting all about their own.
You can have them. But I know you’re just playing a game. You’re a far more serious, intelligent, and vicious person than they are. You don’t believe in them for a second.
The soil, Rulo, the soil. The fruits all come from the dirt. You love what others call filth. You know that a Tree cannot grow tall unless it has deep roots. And a civilization cannot attain unto Heaven unless it has its roots in Hell.
My aunt would garden with a disgusted look on her face. She hated the soil. You love it. So why do you hate me? Because you are of a different Tree, a different Pride, a different Mountain, and a different God.
Not uncle, my grandpa, and his brothers. They didn’t fight for communism. Hated it. They fought against nazism. Marshal Tito wasn’t a communist. And the Royalist guerrillas, which they’d have preferred to join, were wiped out early on. So, accept nazi rule, or join whoever’s fighting. Tito took favors from both Stalin and the Brits, but after the war, he refused to toe the line and become a Communist vassal state. In fact his system has been described as cooperativist, euro-socialist, not communist. Fun fact: he, along with countries like Brazil and India, founded the “3rd way” movement, not communist, not capitalist. But of course you don’t care about any of this, because it has nothing to do with your only, your Gollum-like obsession with race, which explains everything in the universe.
Homogeneity doesn’t exist. Except among robots, automatons. You think 2 black, yellow or white people are the same, think the same, just bc they look similar, and you’re wrong.
Soil, gardens? Look at the tomatoes you grow without pesticides, no gmo, just the natural way. No two are alike, even the same cultivar. Make the field into a goose stepping parade of chemicals and un-natural “improvements” and you get lots of equally bland tomatoes. Flavor, man, flavor is what you leave out of the equation, subtlety, joie de vivre… how can you drink the cup of life if your every waking hour is spent raging against blackies, kikes, women?
“My beloved swarthies”, give me a break, Skorzeny… just think with me for a second. I don’t hate you. I hate the toxic madness that possesses you so thoroughly, and would rather talk with a version of you that’s rid of it, like the cobwebs created by Wormtongue faded from the king of Rohan when Gandalf burst into the hall and opened the windows.
Yes, this is what confuses regular folks. Homogeneity doesn’t exist, he says. Oh yes it does. That’s what a species is. It has norms. We are attracted to those with two legs not a hundred, people not centipedes. Robins date Robins, not crows….
Of course absolute homogeneity doesn’t exist. We’re all a little bit different. That’s the basis for Darwin’s theory. Some little differences are selected for in a given place. They survive and produce more than the ones without those traits. And thus a people, an ethne, a sub-race, race, or species comes into being.
I may or may not be smarter than you. But I have looked deeper into the Abyss. I know how ruthless you are even if you don’t.

You are totally off your wick.
You sound like a psychopath—a genuine nutter, and dangerous.
I hope your mom keeps you properly chained up and in your pen.
Paula is doing better than you at adapting to the new situation. Your case is more serious. Her Communism has made her comfortable with violence whereas you freak out when men try to arrest a criminal like Arberry. You love the IDEA of community policing, but expect it to be easy and peaceful, as if Black criminals are just going to give themselves up without a fight. As if they aren’t extremely dangerous, even without weapons.
You’re very brittle I’m afraid. Try gardening. Get really, really dirty. It may help…..
LMAO!!! Good one, Islander.
I have spent the day watching in awe as Russia moves in to clean out the infestation in Ukraine, and cheering them on.
I disagree about why we have lives of luxury though,
I attribute it to the discovery of fossil fuels. Pretty much everything built in the last 200 years was due to that, combined with human ingenuity in finding new ways to use it to make our lives easier.
Of course, the wars are all over that also. That would be the downside.
Most humans don’t like war. It’s only the psychopaths who have clawed their way into power that like war.
Putin doesn’t like war. He prefers law and order.
But our owners are not amenable to law and order. They prefer death and chaos. So now Putin has to be the sheriff.
@ Marlin and Q:
First, Q: you may have saved us $$. You said you paid $6-700 for the auto train 13 months ago. We just took the same train, but we rented a single room upstairs. We had some trouble getting our 2 tickets online, so my wife went to the local AMTRAK station and paid for our tickets. Checking our credit card bill, we were charged $2,550. I think we were double billed. My wife handled the whole thing, so I figured at the time that was the cost. You may have saved us $1000. If so, thanks. We’re going to the AMTRAK station on Sunday to check this out. I’ll let you know after we find out.
Marlin, my experience on the train was unpleasant. The room was tiny by any standard, not much bigger than our bathroom at home. We had a bed smaller than a twin size. The bathroom was an airline type ?. The bathroom was really tiny, too; I could barely fit in. The train rocked side-to-side, normal for a train. Try peeing and rocking sideways at the same time: splish splash. On the way back I peed sitting down, but I almost couldn’t fit on the toilet seat. Ok, that’s my pee adventure.
Then there’s the bed adventure. We actually had double bunk beds, but we couldn’t/wouldn’t use the upper one at our age. If I needed the bathroom in the middle of the night, with the train rocking, and at our age, it would be suicide. So we both had to sleep in the bottom bunk. It was way too small and uncomfortable for both of us. On the way home, I was asleep when I fell out of the bed in the middle of the night. It wasn’t a large drop and I wasn’t hurt. We both laughed and laughed. I wasn’t about to go back on the bed, so I stayed in the one chair provided to us, which was uncomfortable – the seat kept sliding down. I didn’t sleep the rest of the night.
To end my tale of woe on a positive note, I’ll say the train crew was very nice and accommodating. And I had a very productive time at Foxwoods. I won enough to pay for the entire trip, including the train tickets, food, hotel rooms, etc. and money left over.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Enjoyed your recounting, bill!
In my forties, travel is generally a pain in the ass…can’t imagine it gets much more relaxing from here on in.
Glad you and your wife were able to find the humor in it and have a good time. And congrats on the big score.
Thanks, Mr. M.
Congrats on winning at Foxwoods, Bill. I don’t hear that too often. It’s more than luck; you must have a knack for it, as well as skill.
One good thing Biden has done is direct more funds to AMTRAK and hopefully the uncomfortable Sleeper Cars you describe will be replaced soon with more up to date ones. There’s finally less talk about investing in “high speed rail” and all that, more talk about new passenger cars, improved schedules, meeting schedules, fixing up stations etc. We will need a good passenger and freight rail system to meet the needs of the future.
The only knack I have is awareness. You know what Shakespeare said about there being a tide in the affairs of men? Gambling is like that. Good and bad luck flow during the day. When you see the cards or dice turning bad, you stop playing. When the good luck tide begins to flow, you strike and gamble big to take advantage of the tide. Other than knowing the rules of a particular game, that’s all there is to it. Experience has taught me to be observant and realize what the flow is.
One thing has puzzled me for a long time,
How come the Big Kahuna, US, has such piss poor infrastructure. Trump described LaGuardia as horrible, much worse than most third world countries. The RR system is terrible, good description by Bill. The roads in many states are deteriorating to the point of being dangerous.
The infrastructure bill is over a Trillion dollars. Anyone seen any work yet?
Europe has a very usable RR system. So why can they do it and we can’t. Eisenhower was so impressed by Germany’s autobahn system he fought and got the Interstate network put into America. It was not easy.
Why does the US have lousy infrastructure?
How about,
The PTB, economy wise, of the US do not give one damn about the US people. A very significant part of the upper echelon are involved with one form or the other of the Mob. They want no part of public spending, to them that is overhead. The control of the capital base of the US is in the hands of people who do not give a damn about RRs, Airlines, Roads etc.
BTW, went to visit the Mob museum in Vegas when we were there. Whoa, it is amazing just how much of the US has been controlled by the Mob through the years, in one form or another.
Recommend a visit if you are in Vegas.
A very obvious big picture look at RRs shows that capital expenditure should be aimed at improvement and vast expansion of the rail base. RR right of ways should have access for freight, high speed transit with no cross traffic. That is for intercity transit. In urban areas, address on local trains such as Metra in Chicago.
Bill, you ran down the east Coast on an uncomfortable experience. I have watched enough You Tube by Amtrak to know what you got is considered normal. The alternative is coach, which is sitting in a reclinable chair.
However, what if it only took eight hours to complete the trip at 250 MPH. Who needs sleeper cars? Same across the US.
Why do China, Europe and Japan have high speed systems that makes ours look like crap?
Quick answer: They don’t a have a five-sided black hole in their capital vaporizing $Trillions every year for no discernible benefit, other than making a handful of wealthy contractors and their shareholders rich. Amazing what you can do when you stop literally burning fresh money every day. Welfare and entitlements? Peanuts. Infrastructure? Nope. All privatized now. Build it yourself.
JAZ, I’ve flown to LA many times. It takes about 6 hours from Boston. By the time we land at LAX, I’ve reached my limit. 8 hours on a train is still too long for me. But going 250 mph to Orlando should take around 6 hours and that is ok by me because I wouldn’t be a sardine like sitting in coach on a plane. You are quite right about why we don’t have good infrastructure.
Disney World has monorail. That would be cool. Around 2 years ago they introduced a Cloud something or other. It’s essentially a 6-8 person pod suspended up to 30 feet high from a cable. They go slowly from resort hotel to resort hotel. On each route they have near continual pods traveling along, with no stops except at the end points of the route. After drop off, the pods switch over to the reverse direction cable. There’s literally almost no waiting time to get on a pod. After you drop off you simply walk down a ramp to reach the street.
I couldn’t help thinking these would be excellent for traveling in a city instead of by rapid transit trains. Looking at the pods from the street is very science-fictionally.
while you’re at it, there was (maybe still is) a RR bridge S. of NYC into NJ, going over a navigable waterway. Therefore the bridge must open ( I think it rotated on it’s center span) regularly for passage of some reasonable-size vessels bearing cargo.
If the tracks don’t realign (the bridge gets stuck) the RR transport system North/South stops. Nothing moves. backs up maybe Boston to Portland on one end, and somewhere into the Carolinas and beyond on the other end. The rail bed rather parallels I-95.
$$ was somehow allocated to fix the problem. Enter some sort of political bs, problem remained for quite some time.
Maybe it was remedied, maybe it still is a periodic bottleneck. Any info handy from your look at the RR system?
Fox News is still good for something:
“John Kerry fears Russia-Ukraine war will distract from climate change – Biden’s climate czar said ‘massive emissions’ will negatively impact the globe”
John Kerry can eat a bag. What a knob.
We were supposed to be underwater by now. Instead, Kerry & Co. are buying up beachfront property for their mansions. Hmmm.
The US military emits as much annually as 257M cars on the road, pretty much the entire driving US public.
Kerry is a self-serving douche-rocket. If anyone deserves to walk into a pane of glass in front of his kids, it’s him.
I agree completely.
If they aren’t going to address the damage the military does, they can STFU about everything else.
The US military is the biggest polluter and user of fossil fuels on the planet.
Yeah, and jetting around on their private planes from one snooty summit to another.
But he’s fighting the greatest battle the earth has ever faced! And doing it for us! And…on our dime.
Cut his some slack, sometimes he uses his massive yacht instead of the private jet.
Top 10% are responsible for 47% of global CO2 emissions. It’s not about CO2. It’s about the Long Emergency. The top 10% don’t want us useless eaters using up all their precious jet fuel (basically kerosene) to heat our shanties.

John Kerry, a.k.a. “Mister Goodhair”.
In his meeting with Putin and Lavrov, where he DEMANDED they turn over the wicked Snowden to face the music back home, Lavrov growled “Nyet” at him so many times that Putin joked “I’m going to have to start calling you Gromyko”.
How can you ever dislike a national leader with that kind of sense of humor?
Further slimeball Kerry story, courtesy of the immortal Dave Barry:
“In conclusion, I want to extend my sincere best wishes to all of my opponents, Republican and Democrat, and to state that, in the unlikely event I am not elected, I will support whoever is, even if it is Sen. John Kerry, who once came, with his entourage, into a ski-rental shop in Ketchum, Idaho, where I was waiting patiently with my family to rent snowboards, and Sen. Kerry used one of his lackeys to flagrantly barge in line ahead of us and everybody else, as if he had some urgent senatorial need for a snowboard, like there was about to be an emergency meeting, out on the slopes, of the Joint Halfpipe Committee. I say it’s time for us, as a nation, to put this unpleasant incident behind us. I know that I, for one, have forgotten all about it. That is how fair and balanced I am.”
Maybe a civil war at Fox over U.S. political class going pro war over Ukraine. I noticed on You Tube that Tucker was anti war as opposed to other hosts who know their paychecks might not continue if outrage isn’t displayed towards Vlad P.
John Kerry can eat a bag. – Mango

I am unfamiliar with this line of derision. Explanation please.
“Explanation please.
Q,
Dicks. A bag of dicks…a BIG bag of dicks
Oh, I was thinking maybe shit…a bag of shit.
Are you sure dicks is what Mango had in mind?
Indeed, the GenX phraseology is “eat a bag of dicks”. The slightly more polite version being “eat a bag”. I do realize that may sound a tad juvenile to the ears of someone with a few more years under their belt.
Yours also works perfectly though, Q. The sentiment is the same.
Does anyone else notice how Biden has those beady eyes glaring/scowling at the camera when he is talking about his sanction plans? Is this supposed to emit his strength and make the adversaries feel scared, shaking in their mukluks?
Or is he just squinting to read a cue card in really small type that is placed far beyond his podium?
I think it’s the latter. He appears to be squinting to read the teleprompter because he is reading verbatim. He seemed to get impatient and speed up during some parts, but then he’d stumble over a word or phrase and have to regroup. Very flat delivery. Seemed to me that he had very little cognitive function going on throughout. Just delivering a canned speech, probably as strictly directed by his handlers. I almost feel sorry for him, since I think he’s in WAY OVER his depth.
WTF???

Why in heaven’s name do they think Putin is trying to claim the cesspool of Chernobyl? They should use it as a repository to keep all POWs.
There’s probably some secret research facility or a portal or something very weird hidden there. I mean. Who would even be in a radioactive abandoned exclusion zone right?
There very well might be a portal there to the pizza restaurant used by the Clinton Foundation. Hopefully Putin’s men will get to the bottom of this and expose everything!
Because if Ukraine shells it heavily it will send a radioactive cloud of dust over Europe. It’s a good defensive position.
Man that Putin is a bad mother….
SHUT YO MOUF!
Im only talkin bout Vlad?
“Why in heaven’s name do they think Putin is trying to claim the cesspool of Chernobyl?”

For the same reason we claim Baltimore, Detroit, and Oakland….
This is a well put article, explaining many things about the Russian stance that I think the West would be wise to consider:
https://unherd.com/2022/02/putins-spiritual-destiny/
If you read this
https://www.nealumphred.com/dashes-as-punctuation/
you will begin to appreciate the futility of trying to standardize punctuation.
There is no futility. There are a variety of quality sources that provide you with long-standing rules on punctuation, grammar, and style.
You just don’t know what the fuck you are doing, and you are trying to cover it up.
But some of us know.
Hey Q., maybe you can answer this. When I was taking JUCO English about 25 years ago or so, we were using a spiral bound little (in format, still quite thick) practical grammar text that was the most useful thing I’ve ever seen before or since. Really strange format. The top half of the pages was right side up, the bottom vice versa. It was meant to be worked through going forward, then flipped upside down and worked backwards. Each page was a mini-tutorial on specific aspect of grammar, followed immediately by questions to practice the lesson. Flip the page for the answers, then more tutorials and questions, and so on. Each reinforcing the previous, and then at the end of the chapter, a summation exercise to bring it altogether. Almost like it was specifically designed for someone with ADD. REALLY handy little bugger, so of course I lost it somewhere along the way. Does that ring a bell at all? Can’t find anything like it online now.
Never heard of it but if you find it let me know.
Think I might have found an updated version of it yesterday, but I can’t see any of the actual pages. It was written to the average 6-8th grade level, which is about the level most people write at – if they’re lucky. I had many troops in the USAF who I had to write complete performance evaluation report submissions for, as they were hard pressed to even construct complete sentences. Not dumb people either. Just never were taught how to write and never practiced it after that.
It might be this one:

Might take a flyer on it.
It seems to me that every accusation they leveled against Trump was actually a prognostication for Bidens term as resident in the Whitehouse?
I did repeatedly point out it looked to be an actual projection on their part.
Even now the media appears to be covering for this fool now trying to blame energy prices on Russia.
Biden probably thinks that if he becomes a war president then historically and statistically he should be “re-elected” (read: “appointed”) to the position of commode sitter in chief.
Also, how will this all play into the midterms is anyone’s guess.
“Also, how will this all play into the midterms is anyone’s guess.”
“Blue Wave!!” Pro-war Democrats elected to virtually all contested seats as “Blue Tsumani” sweeps US. “Thank goodness for the sanctity of online voting!”
Biden humbly accepts mandate from the people. “We will defeat Russia just as we defeated Corona – by staying home, shutting-the-fuck-up, and obeying approved sources of information.” – the Big Guy.
“Pro-Russian domestic terrorists rounded up by the millions. Assets seized. Bail denied. Sane voices plead for reinstatement of the death penalty for treason.”
That would be my guess.
Bird,
not an impossible scenario. But think of what Owl has been saying, the panopticon, total control. “Eurasia has always been at war with Eastasia” or Oceania, or whatever. Perhaps c19 was just the opening salvo, and now we enter the stage where Eastasia, Oceania, et al, need each other in order to maintain domestic control. They all benefit. Heck, in fact war may not even exist, what with deep fakes and whatnot. All they need is the perception of war to “round up the Eurasia supporters”
Complete resource exhaustion and infrastructure collapse is actually our best hope to avoid that. Not enough juice to feed the server farms.
Can’t wait to read Jim’s take on this latest clusterfuck.
I know, right? Tomorrow is going to be one for the record books.
At the very least, inflation on steroids, especially re energy. Much blustering in the upcoming S of the U, empty words. Protests behind chain link fence, but still strong enough to be felt. Massive housing bubble popping.
And stocks invincible, going up and up forever. I have come to the conclusion that every last human could be dead in the USA, and the tickers would still go up for a number of years, as long as solar panels keep the screens going, engaged in a feedback loop of algorithms creating digital money and algorithms buying the dips.
Ha, ha, Rulo, I bet you’re right!
It’s obvious that Putin has taken the measure of not only Biden, but Congress too, and is emboldened by what he has seen. I’m by no means a Trump fan, but I believe Vlad figured that the cost was too high for invasion during Trump’s term.
The true cost for this war is the coming loss of Taiwan. If Biden continues to act Bidenish, then Xi will launch an attack on Taiwan. Sanctions are for pussies. Russia and China believe they can get along without us, so what’s the cost for them to invade? No, the US has to show strength. These dictators only respond to force. What kind of force? I dunno, I’m not a geopolitical strategist. Remember the naval embargo of Cuba in 1962? Maybe one of Taiwan would work. Sure, that would provoke Xi, but at the end of the day he’d probably just rant, threaten and foam at the mouth. The Chinese play the long game.
“What kind of force? I dunno:
Bill, you damned well do know;
Carefully worded communications to Ambassador, expressing
“disappointment”, and perhaps threats of future sanctions.
E, yeah I do know, but I didn’t want to state it in public because what if the Russians find out about it? Such a gigantic threat could have Putin quaking in his boots and then anything could happen.
The true cost of this war will be OUR freedom. Wait for it.
The French Defense Minister — the Chief of the Armed Forces — is an older lady named Flo. The German Defense Minister is a neo Marxist lady named Chrissy. Much like the US Secretary of the Army, neither one has any military experience or background. And both are Grandmothers. What can one say except living in fantasyland was fun while lasted, but now the fun (and games) are over. If Putin has a notion to send his army thru Europe right up to the English Channel, who or what would stop him, ‘specially now that he has threatened the west with nuclear weapons?
Why would Putin want to “annex” an area that is so totally screwed up? And a Muslim area as well, he has experienced Islamic BS in Chechnya and wants no part of more of nutty Muslim zealots.
There are a couple of reasons.
The first being the Bidens are not the only players making money off the corruption in play with Ukraine government.
OR he wants to poke the Bidens and Hillary in the eye for all the Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense.
Biden did lie and say he is the only one that has stood toe to toe with Putin so he may just want to show the world the reality that Biden is a dithering feckless moron.
The last and biggest reason he wanted a treaty signed saying NATO would not add Ukraine and the US refused to put it in ink.
Not sure why since our government has signed stuff and gone back on it.
I understand why Putin is doing this, but I wish he would not have.
All I can say is buy stock in military industrial suppliers like LM or NG.
Trudeau cares so much about the plight of the Ukrainians he is giving them priority access to move to Canada:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/canada/trudeau-says-canada-will-prioritize-ukrainian-immigration-launches-phone-line-for-urgent-questions/ar-AAUgnM6?ocid=msedgntp
Note the phone number that can be called for urgent questions. Do you think they will allow Ukrainian truckers to move to Canada?
This Schwab-trained orc needs to swing from a lamppost.
I work with a large Ukraine group in the hospital. The older ones all construction folks, and the kids pushed heavily into education, many are RN and NP, Pas. The funny part many of them have mixed marriages, either Russian or Ukrainians, and the the most funny part all of them in my area are HUGE Trump supporters.
There is already a powerful Ukrainian fifth column in Canada.
They also swing a lot of weight in DC.
What do you think Freeland is about?
This was all set forth very clearly years ago — during the 2014 Maidan— at The Saker blog. At the time I thought, WTF? Ukrainians in Canada swinging way over their visible weight, also in DC? It sounded totally outlandish. Freeland was mentioned.
But at t his point I think there is a lot of evidence for the malign international tentacles and influence of Banderist connections in Canada, also reaching into the USA via the Biden clan.
Just did a quick search at The Saker blog and came up with this, from 2020 (although the Ukraine-Freeland problem in Canada was on The Saker’s radar long before that):
http://thesaker.is/canadas-nazi-problem/
there was definitely a Canadian “rat line” of Ukrainian Nazis to Canada after WW2. These were not nice people (even though some Nazis were sort of nice people, actually; but the German ones actually tended to be nicer than the “colonials” from Croatia, Romania, Ukraine, Latvia, etc.). they are still very much stirring up trouble for Russia in the Ukraine. They have never stopped.
The US has spent the last 70 years taking in the remnants of their wars.
Nazis, death squad leaders, drug runners, collaborators, every damn nasty violent criminal other countries produced make their way here to be rewarded for killing their own people.
And now we’re going to surviving Azoz battalion members and Right Sector bigwigs, no doubt.
“Rat Line” – Zionist slander. One might have expected more from you based on sites you frequent, but your basic conditioning is proving its worth and you are reverting true to form.
And was it saker who outed her (krusty to trudy) as a spy? Russia blocked her re entry when she was a journalista.
Oh Great, Make way for a bunch of Stepan Bandera acolytes moving in up North. What could possibly go wrong?
This just in: Tonight the White House will be dining on Chicken Kiev with a side of Borscht.
Of course Brandon’s Kiev will be carefully ground first, as the old choppers ain’t what they used to be.
Funny thing, a nearby city has a large population of both Ukranians and Russians; they all attend the same Orthodox Church, the only one in town. The split is amongst the Ukrainian community itself, with western Ukrainians maintaining their own Catholic Church. The two factions, Orthodox and Catholic, don’t seem to mix all that much. There’s quite a few Poles too and they all seem to be speaking the same language.
BRH,
look at maps of Poland and Lithuania, first 1922 to 1939, then 1945, then today. Lviv/Lvov have changed hands.
Kaliningrad is Russia, albeit severed from Russia proper. It was the Prussian/German city of Konigsberg.
Say what?
I used to think Ukrainian was a subset of Russian; I thought the same of Byellorussia (now Belarus).
Maybe not. But, from my modest knowledge, these groups did not fight each other, that I know of. They fought together against Poland/Lithuania and Sweden, as the Russians expanded westward.
For some reason, I think Kiev is to RUSSIA what Kosovo is to Serbia; not the center of the nation, but a cultural important symbol.
I thought Ukrainian Catholics, like Croats, use Latin letters, vs Cyrillic for the Orthodox. But I saw a Ukrainian government tweet In Cyrillic. Also, some (most?) Ukrainian Catholics are “Eastern Rite”. They are essentially Orthodox who acknowledge the Bishop of Rome as their leader.
My point (and if I have erred, pardon me) is there is a lot of nuance and confusion that is all the more reason for America not to dabble.
The West ends in Poland, Lithuania, maybe the Baltic states. Accept it and stop pushing East
“I thought Ukrainian Catholics, like Croats, use Latin letters, vs Cyrillic for the Orthodox. ”
I think the religious split is that in western Ukraine they are mainly members of the Ukrainian Uniate Church. This is kind of a hybrid. I think it is an Eastern orthodox church, yet it “answers” to the Pope in Rome, not to a hierarch or whatever they are called in the Eastern church.
“https://www.encyclopedia.com/environment/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/uniate-churches”
The split between this church and the Russian Orthodox church is pretty serious, actually. That is, kind of as serious–with siginificant political consequences— as the split between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland.
Yeah I agree SD it is a provocation to push NATO up close to Russia’s borders, and wholly unnecessary. The Cold War ended 30 years ago which should have been the end of NATO as well.. Trump tried to pare it back, remove US troops from Germany; he caught holy hell for it.
Globalism in reverse. The power boys hate it, it was one of the big items they wanted to destroy Trump about.
One of Huntington’s lines goes right thru the middle of Ukraine. It’s not a viable country. It should split like the Czechs and the Slovaks did.
It Putin take all of it, well that is unfair to the Catholics who look to the West. They were ill served by their Zionist Junta and the Biden family who couldn’t resist poking the bear.
Kiev was where St Vladimir converted to Orthodox Christianity 989 or so years ago.
A big deal for Vlad the P, or so it is said.
And Russia converted along with him.
Any Poles that lived during Russian occupation speak a da lingo.
A jolt just hit me today. A Biden bolt.
This AM, in reaction to Ukraine, the markets, including oil, did what they should have, retreated from insecurity.
The day moved along, the Russians gaining, the markets reacting.
The Bumbling Biden, the Mob boss, spoke and all the markets reset back to what they were, oil went from $100 back to $93.
What the heck, has Biden got that much credibility? If so, we are in deep Kaka.
Maybe Mr. Market realized that adults are back in charge in Ukraine? They also realized that Brandon would not, could not, and did not directly threaten Russian energy supplies to the US, because that wouldn’t just threaten Brandon, it would be the end of him. Game, set, match, Mr. Putin. As Saker is proudly crowing today, this might be history’s first 2 hour “war.” Congrats NATO and Brandon Bunch!
Here’s a proposed “easy fix” to the skyrocketing oil price:
Venezuela Can Bring Putin to his Knees
by Greg Palast
I’m sure Putin is laughing when he hears Biden list his new so-called “sanctions” which are as serious as canceling Putin‘s Walmart discount card.
It’s about the oil, Mr. Biden. The price of oil. The more Ukrainians Putin kills, the higher the price of oil.
Right now, Russian tanks have pushed the price of oil past $100 a barrel. That’s a windfall worth an additional half a billion dollars a day to Russia’s treasury. With 43% of Russia’s entire federal budget coming from oil and gas royalties, Putin doesn’t care if his oligarchs are barred from getting tickets to see Hamilton.
The doubling of energy prices over the next year would bring Putin a quarter trillion dollar windfall.
Want to stop Putin‘s tanks? Turn off his war windfall.
How? Unleash the largest reserve of oil on the planet: Lift the cruel, crazy, unjustified embargo of Venezuela.
Venezuela is capable of pumping 2 million barrels of oil a day for export. If Biden announces an end to the embargo, the price of oil will nosedive in 20 minutes. However, the US and Europe have laid siege to Venezuela, stopping everything from food to supplies of parts to get its oil industry back up and running.
Stop choking Venezuela’s economy and starving the Venezuelan people, who are no enemies of America, who invaded no one, and the price of oil will collapse.
The Biden administration continues to prosecute Donald Trump‘s mad embargo of Venezuela. The embargo was triggered by Venezuela‘s insistence on taking back control of its oil industry—and, Heaven forbid, taxing Exxon.
The excuse I hear from Republicans and Democrats alike is that Venezuela is not a democratic state. As opposed to Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Qatar and Russia? It’s fascinating to me that European Union blockades oil from Venezuela but continues to take oil from Russia.
We are paying the price of Trump‘s policy, now Biden’s, at the pump and Ukrainians are paying in Odessa.
https://mailchi.mp/gregpalast/venezuela-can-bring-putin-to-his-knees?e=424166c4eb
One problem, oil that Venezuela pumps is too heavy for US refineries which have been outfitted for the light grades of fracked oil and oil sands. That is why Venezuela is not used by the US much.
Palast was more interesting during his Armed Madhouse days (which I have on the shelf), where he at least saw the big picture. He seems to be going the way of Chomsky, turning into a disconnected and somewhat dangerous loon.
Putin does not want war; he wants NATO to stop encroaching, which it has done for the past several decades (along with changing the rules on its own non-proliferation treaties, etc.). Donbass and co. also held a referendum, IIRC, and was ignored by the US/NATO-backed neo-Nazi putschists in Ukraine.
I also just saw that Ukrainian soldiers are busy burning files from the embassy in Kiev. I wonder what kind of stuff they are getting rid of? Perhaps Joe-Joe Magoo can fill us in.

Sanctions = blackmail. “You got some real cute kids there in your country, it’d be a shame if they starved to death. Heh heh heh.”

Politicians are people that have failed at everything else but can BS their way past enough people to get elected to office.
Trump was an exception to this. He was a true entrepreneur, succeeded some, failed some but succeeded more, and against the Mob in New York.
That mob crucified him because he was better than all of them.
Except, Russia has more than enough food for its population, plus a few million refugees from the Donbass.
Putin would not have made his move if the sanctions bogeyman had had any teeth.
Islander, yeah, there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to seriously hurt Russia, they know it, we know it. Unless they want to hurt it so bad, they’re willing to hurt themselves too (nuclear exchange).
I think the moment is here that the last bet has been called, and it’s cards up time, and we’ve got nothing.
What do you mean “we”, Kemo Sabe?
I have nothing in common with the criminals running this country.
Paula, indeed. Words are cages sometimes, and I doubted. We? They? Ultimately, I’m an American, same as the criminals in charge, ergo, we.
And sometimes we build word cages for others, eh Rulo? Like “there is no homogeneity”. Each person is completely and utterly unique and unto themselves. In other words, easy pickings for strong groups of who identify with each other.
Or take Saber Tooth Cats. If our ancestors couldn’t generalize, create percepts (that is a cat) and concepts anent the percepts (and they are very dangerous), then we would have never learned to fear and flee from them. Each time we would try and pet them or something. We’d be extinct.
Some Anthropologists were studying the Kalahari Bushmen. Politically correct, they said to each other: Watch: They won’t even recognize these Chinese Anthropologists as being different than us. When the Bushmen met the Chinese, they asked their friends, Who are these people?
It’s sort of like a slow and excruciating torture versus a quick seamless death. It’s actually inhumane and grotesque. And too what would even be the point of sanctions at this particular point since the invasion is already here?
To show “toughness and resolve,” even though it actually shows “weakness and resignation.”
And think about it, how will they ever end? By Russia giving back Ukraine? NEVER going to happen. So this is essentially a declaration of perpetual war on the part of DC. Don’t think Brandon or his boys thought this one through very well, because Russia’s ascent to power is just beginning.
THAT’S the real problem in DC in a nutshell. They’ve yet to come to terms with the fact that “the war” is already over, the west has lost without firing a shot, American hegemony is no more, and the world is an entirely different place than it was just a few days ago.
There is no point. Just ego and psychos battling each other in the most irresponsible way possible.
SSL, the Jack London story, the white colonists being tortured by the Indians, the last one claiming to be a medicine man and claiming they can’t hurt him if he’s allowed to prepare his secret potion that he’ll then share with them, the tribe gathering the ingredients, the boiling cauldron and the colonists mumbo jumbo, his insisting they get the strongest brave and sharpen the ax well and everybody stand back because that blade’s gonna shatter when it hits his neck, the blow, the rolling head…
The few seconds it takes the Indians to realize the white has tricked them, and died a quick death without torture…
So a cyber attack? How exactly does that work on an SKS 7.62?
The problem is which one would be doing the cyber attack? Russia or WEF? With the cover of chaos a lot of bad stuff can happen and there is the plausible deniability aspect.
15,000,000 produced and ya know Ukraine is crawling with the things. A great rifle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKS
kicks ass,recoil is light,and ammo is cheap.
I usually avoid going down this path… But… yes, it is a good choice. Generally runs under the parameters of AWBs due to the physical design which includes the fixed 10-round mag; .30 calibre is accurate in reasonable hands out to and slightly beyond 200 metres, making it capable of dropping a deer-size source of food. Has manageable recoil (as you mentioned). Nothin’ fancy, a well-designed item rather simple to operate and maintain.
Saint,
I…know a guy that has many, many of them. He considers the Russian made models superior to most Soviet Bloc manufactures…and Chinese models the least desirable.
At one tme, you could buy a well used Chinese SKS for $69.00…and even in their worn condition, one would prefer them to the Ruger mini-14 in it’s various iterations.
Good ones are bumping 800-1000 now. Crazy
A pretty clear explanation of the changes on the diplomatic ground that forced Putin’s hand, so that he responded exactly as he had warned he would.

How many Americans even know that the US is illegally occupying 30% of Syria and stealing their oil?
If they did would they be running around screaming about territorial integrity and respecting national boundaries?
(Maybe, they are shameless.)
I hope Pepe is right and Syria is next.
Oh, but you know… our democracy… not stealing their oil… promoting democracy…
I would venture….none, or close. Came as a shock to me…..a.month.ago. !
Why else would we be paying mercenaries 300k a year to occupy this shithole?
Stealing?
We are paying for that in blood and treasure.
Islander has done a volte face and is now a militant. If she could, if Clusterfuck was her Facebook page, she would eliminate all her posts about how Putin wasn’t going to invade. That he was a nice boy, much like gay nephew or something.
This is Woman. If we took over, she’d be singing the Horst Wessel Lied in an amazingly short time, outraged at the idea that she had ever believed anything different.
They are flexible!
Natural politicians like Joe Biden who was against Blacks when that was the thing to be, and is now against Whites, since that is the thing to be. What does he actually believe? Nothing at all.
LMAO, you’re hilarious today.

Jar, how many volte faces have YOU done regarding Trump? You’ve got some balls putting down Islander.
I have admitted as much. He is a very oily character. He not only sells us snake oil, he slathers in on himself. I was wrong about Trump. Islander was wrong about Putin. I had hoped (and yes, at times thought) that he was for America in a deep way. Islander thought Putin was some kind of good little boy. Look how she reacted to me talking about the roots of Nations! She reacted violently to my talk about violence being the root of peace. Surely as a man, you know – though you don’t discuss it with your wife…..
I find Islander’s illusion to be more bizarre than mine. But I would, wouldn’t I, being me? I guess it’s up for debate.
“Many surviving OUN-B members fled to Western Europe and the United States – occasionally with CIA help – where they quietly forged political alliances with right-wing elements. “You have to understand, we are an underground organization. We have spent years quietly penetrating positions of influence,” one member told journalist Russ Bellant, who documented the group’s resurgence in the United States in his 1988 book, “Old Nazis, New Right, and the Republican Party.”
In Washington, the OUN-B reconstituted under the banner of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), an umbrella organization comprised of “complete OUN-B fronts,” according to Bellant. By the mid-1980’s, the Reagan administration was honeycombed with UCCA members, with the group’s chairman Lev Dobriansky, serving as ambassador to the Bahamas, and his daughter, Paula, sitting on the National Security Council. Reagan personally welcomed Stetsko, the Banderist leader who oversaw the massacre of 7000 Jews in Lviv, into the White House in 1983.
“Your struggle is our struggle,” Reagan told the former Nazi collaborator. “Your dream is our dream.”
When the Justice Department launched a crusade to capture and prosecute Nazi war criminals in 1985, UCCA snapped into action, lobbying Congress to halt the initiative. “The UCCA has also played a leading role in opposing federal investigations of suspected Nazi war criminals since those queries got underway in the late 1970’s,” Bellant wrote. “Some UCCA members have many reasons to worry – reasons which began in the 1930’s.””

The American public shows its ignorance again. 25% of Americans think the US is in the right.
The world almost ended in 1962 when America had a hissy fit because the USSR backed Castro’s Cuba and placed missiles there. Our military wanted to nuke the Russians because of it, and we almost did. Yet, here we are in the reverse place: NATO has basically ringed Russia with nuclear warheads and introduced a coup in Ukraine 8 years ago, very close to Russian borders, after promising the Russians NATO wouldn’t expand east. Now the Russians have a hissy fit and invaded Ukraine.
My loyalty is to America, but Russia is correct in this case, and although war sickens me, I can’t blame them. We’ve lied and broken our promises and have generally sleazed our way eastward. The Russians and Putin have balls; we don’t.
To me, the greatest affront is that it’s always the innocent citizens that have to suffer the most and pay the price of war-by-assholes when all they want is to just live their lives.
What Americans don’t realize is the concept of regression to the mean. Throughout history humans have lived a miserable existence, yet America has largely escaped that. We could have spent our energy trying to avoid it, but instead we’ve misspent it on baubles, just like the Indians did when they gave away Manhattan. The piper is due payment and is coming here soon.
Here or on the saker somebody said that the US had to get their missiles out of Turkey for the de escalation to occur, though it wasn’t advertised.
I think it was Turkey.
I think everybody’s in on it,…that this too is for the tracking implants. Ordo chaos et al.
Anmari I would not give any credit to these anonymous actors and make vague general and demoralizing statements that “everyone is in on it.” All bad leaders – tyrants or governments – of this world will fall. Every tyranny will fall especially in this day and age.
Yes Am. Good point. Hope we make it too. I have been pretty spooked lately, more than my usual winter blues, but that helps. Thanx. 🙂

I am counting on the one idiot recruited by the WEF who botches things up and brings the whole effin’ program crashing down on their heads. Call it the Inspector Clouseau factor. ?
We now know the identity of this WEF man I wrote about, Anmari! One guess!
“Imagine” by John Lennon. Go back and listen and you’ll know why he was assassinated. Ukraine is peanuts.
Uncle Sam is a bloodthirsty lad.

Agrees with our data, that VAERS is underreporting by a factor of seven to ten.

Ann is always interesting. This may be just coincidence if the labs are in the big cities or near military installations. But she knows that we’re in the wrong – that puts her above many conservatives.
No J, I saw that somewhere else today as well. Maybe @ecosophia.
Great if true. A powerful ally indeed.
I think it’s more. I think a true record of all adverse reactions would be at least a tenth of anyone with a booster, maybe higher.
I say this based on accounts of people I know who got a booster, and on general anecdotal evidence.
Crap. Meant for Jarek’s post preceding this one.

Good/Evil. White/Black. True/False. Nazis? Totally evil. If so why did the United State take so many in? Why are former Nazis high up in the EU?
Ok, forget the fucking United States and Europe. Israel, sacred Israel. Totally good, right? Uh, no…..

I’m as confused as you are, folks. Why would they fight for the Israeli takeover of their nation? And couldn’t the New World Order find normal thugs to do this kind of thing? Politics makes strange bedfellows, but this is ridiculous.
Anglin says they’re more Satanists than White Nationalists. The latter has many currents and schools, so there might be some truth there.
The Nazis themselves would have scorned many White Nationalists. Their portrayals of the “untermensch” look exactly like skinheads. And from the pov of modern White Nationalism, they were too nationalistic and not universal enough.
Just to be clear, that’s from 2018. It’s nothing new, but a long standing policy. The article indicated that they were being integrated into the Ukrainian army. Have no idea if that went forward.
There was an Israeli guy on with Tucker reporting about conditions in the Ukraine. He seems to be trying to get people out (Israelis?), and asked for donations. He asked Tucker to put the name of the website on the screen but they never do that. He said the name of his group, but I didn’t catch it.
“The CDC just quietly lowered the standards for speech in early childhood development.
Now children should know ~50 words at 30mo rather than 24mo.
Instead of highlighting the harmful effects ?s & lockdowns have had on children, the CDC just lowered the bar for milestones.”
