No More Russian Dressing For You!

Whoever is behind “Joe Biden” has done all they can to derail American Life, and the feckless leadership of Euroland has also seemed avid to trash its future. There is a welling movement, in America, at least, to resist all that, to sweep these degenerates out of power….

Say what you will about Russia’s Cleanup-in-Aisle-Four operation in Ukraine. It sure changed the subject from the murderous Covid-19 madness — cooked up by political therapists who have all the answers for our salvation — to the hard realities of power politics. And at just the right time, too, as ever more hard data leaks through the bastions of captured corporate media to morally indict the criminal public health establishment and their elected enablers throughout Western Civ.

In other words, the whole Covid story was falling apart. Though the CDC and the FDA were hiding and fudging all their numbers as best they could, the insurance actuaries and the humble morticians had no such inhibitions about reporting an upsurge in strange deaths. Whistles were blowing over the botched Pfizer approval trials. The world was beginning to grok how dishonest, deadly, and sinister the whole Covid caper really was — from the engineered and patented origins of the disease, to the lethal mechanisms of the “vaccines”— when it became necessary to divert the world’s attention. Plus, the oaf Justin Trudeau badly tipped his hand on the West’s tilt into tyranny… and now American truckers were revving up their convoys… someone, please, do something! Get Russia back in the center ring!

And so, the floundering establishment activated the still-potent workings of mass formation to fire up what looked like Act One of World War Three. Forgive me for saying what I will about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The US authorities wanted it. They set it up nakedly by replaying the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse, and they refused to negotiate in good faith as to their using Ukraine as a forward base for NATO on Russia’s border. The Russians couldn’t have been plainer about their intentions. They’ve been telling the US to keep Ukraine neutral for over a decade, to not outfit the place for military shenanigans. What part of that did America not understand? Every part, apparently — and on-purpose.

It raises the question, of course, as to whether we actually have an interest in that faraway land. I think the answer is: not hardly, except as a utensil of control and antagonism against Russia. As to the people of Ukraine, let’s be honest: we put them in harm’s way, and then we cried crocodile tears over them — most mawkishly in the increasingly bizarre ritual we call the State of the Union Message. All those yellow and blue lapel pins and fashion accessories. What bathetic pretense.

Who in the US government, from our founding in 1789 to 1991 — while Ukraine was part of Russia in one way or another — gave a passing thought to Ukraine? Answer: nobody. And then, after the crack-up of the USSR, Ukraine was “in play,” culminating in the 2014 CIA-sponsored “color revolution” that ousted then-president Viktor Yanukovych, who was inclined to join Russia’s Eurasian Customs Union of trade relations rather than the US wished-for NATO or EU. And ever since then it has been one American intrigue after another — including a brisk trade in grift and bribery by the Biden family, the Clinton syndicate, the next-gen of Kerrys, and other entitled elites from over here selling their influence.

And now the economic sanctions on Russia, which are sure to blow back on the countries issuing them. Europe has to pretend that it doesn’t need Russian oil and gas, that it doesn’t need cheap uranium to run their nuke power plants, that they don’t need the Baikonur Cosmodrome to launch their satellites, and so on. More likely, these moves will accelerate the collapse of Western Civ’s banking system, stock and bond markets, and erode the US dollar’s role as the global reserve currency — a longstanding “exorbitant privilege” for getting stuff from all over the world in exchange for promises to pay some Tuesday in the distant future.

The reader may ask: why does this blog appear to take Russia’s side in the current conflict against the US and our supposed allies? Answer: Why would you trust a government (ours) and its captive news media after years of their blatant lying and tyrannical over-reach? These parties appear to be at war against their own people, that is, against us — certainly more than Russia is. Especially in the historic moment when all our mendacious “narratives” are being exposed as false? Russian Collusion? Indictments underway and more to follow. Covid-19? A mega-crime of mass homicide spawned by a matrix of pharmaceutical racketeers, corrupt government officials, and accomplice news organizations. Stolen elections? Don’t, for Gawd’s sake, even try looking at the slime trail of evidence. I won’t bother listing the many transgressions of Wokery against our culture and history. And all of a sudden, it appears a lot of American citizens have had enough of being fucked around. I’m with them.

Now consider this: What if it turns out that Russia can complete its Cleanup-in-Aisle-Four operation relatively quickly, with a minimized loss of life and damage to the everyday infrastructure of Ukraine, and arrange things there afterward so that Ukraine is not a menace to anyone, either Russia or the West? I sincerely believe this is their intention — just as I sincerely believe that their leadership is actually sane, and ours appears not to be. Perhaps Russia will even offer Ukraine (or its re-arranged regions) assistance in recovering from the foolishness it played along with to its own sorrow? What if Russia actually has no intention of starting World War Three? Will we keep trying to start it anyway?

Whoever is behind “Joe Biden” has done all they can to derail American Life, and the feckless leadership of Euroland has also seemed avid to trash its future. There is a welling movement, in America, at least, to resist all that, to sweep these degenerates out of power, and make a concerted course correction in the direction of sanity, rectitude, liberty, and generosity of spirit toward each other. An awful lot of trouble has already been set in motion by the idiots running things. There is a difficult slog ahead. Is your head screwed on? Where will you stand?

    You, we are not taking Russia’s side, we are clearly standing for Truth and the truth is that our government spooks have been murdering and pillaging every nation out there that they can in order to reap profit for the wealthy masters that rule the planet. The fact that Americans allow and accept this practice make us accountable as well and therefore liable to receive the “rewards” for what surely will come our way and soon too it looks like.

    Prepare for blastoff people. Judgment is upon us.

    • shotho March 4, 2022 at 10:05 am #

      I would like to stand with truth and I believe you speak the truth, Mr. K. It’s sad indeed when you disbelieve your nation’s leaders more than those of Russia, but the propaganda from the West is too crude and monolithic to suggest anything else. When you think of Putin and Xi juxtaposed against the sclerotic leadership of the West, it’s clear to see the future. Maybe the next election cycle will provide us some hope. In the meantime, we can watch Putin’s plan unfold.

      • Walter B March 4, 2022 at 10:46 am #

        During the four years of Donald Trump’s presidency, half of the people in our nation hated and tormented him and were convinced that he was incompetent and evil. After a year of Dopey Joe, it is clear that he may or may not be incompetent, but he is clearly incapable of even trying to pretend that he can serve this nation in the position that he was placed in. I cannot believe that anyone at all can honestly say that he is otherwise, except of course for those who are pulling the strings which keep him from collapsing on the floor like the lifeless marionette that he has become.

        It is also difficult for me at least to understand how anyone in America can tolerate the first person in the Oval Office that is and has been being paid for services rendered (along with his demented son) by America’s top two rivals, China and Russia (at least Ukraine).

        Of course, in a nation where so many of its people would say “Good for him, if I could get away with it I would too and so would you”, I guess blatant corruption has simply become an acceptable way of doing business.

        When you replace God with money, anything goes and nothing really matters as long as it puts cash in your pocket as a reward.

          “I guess blatant corruption has simply become an acceptable way of doing business.” ~ Walter

          Yes Walter – one of life’s indisputable truths, “What we allow becomes acceptable”.

          We look the other way, and allow the grift…

          • justanotherguy March 4, 2022 at 12:26 pm #

            this corruption… game theory anyone?

            not only has this wag the dog latest installment pivoted everyone who “matters” away from the c19 debacle, the dollar mess, the parent terrorists,

            it has also turned everybody to right of marx into arguing disagreement.

            squirrel! very useful squirrel.

          • Blackbird March 4, 2022 at 1:29 pm #

            But we aren’t looking the other way. We (well, at least the “we” that hang out here) are looking at the grift, but there is nothing we can do to stop it. Meanwhile, the grifters have all the power to stop an investigation into their rackets.

          • Walter B March 4, 2022 at 1:31 pm #

            Yes Blackbird, Dr. David Martin made a great point of how the corruption has been allowed to go unstopped and unpunished. The purchase of the judicial arm of our government was his point and it clearly is what has happened.

          • Ron Anselmo March 4, 2022 at 2:32 pm #

            Blackbird – your words are uncharacteristically defeatist for you. Hang in there man. We CAN stop it – we just don’t have the will (read balls) to stop it, yet. We still have too much to lose.

            After we’ve watched them take everything, and we have nothing left to lose or take, then we’ll stop it. The solution is simple – take out the grifters – and I don’t mean politically.

            Cheer up man – we have the power – just need the will.

          • Blackbird March 4, 2022 at 5:07 pm #

            Ron, “uncharacteristically defeatist”? You may be mistaking me for an optimist I never was. That said, I don’t consider myself a defeatist or a pessimist either. I consider myself a realist, and I consider our reality very bleak.

            How do we, “the people”, stop the corruption?

            The Biden influence pedaling in the Ukraine. The Durham “investigation”. Blatant corruption and treachery, obvious for anyone to see. Consequences? None.

            We can write to our congresscritters. We can vote. We can get in our cars and convoy to DC. We can yell and scream and hold our breath until we pass out. What’s gonna happen? We get branded as criminals, even terrorists.

            We can’t de-person them. We can’t shut off access to their bank accounts. We can’t block them from social media. We can’t arrest them. We can’t confiscate their assets. They can, and will, do all of the above to us.

          • shotho March 4, 2022 at 5:09 pm #

            I’ve been doing business in Ukraine for the last 22 years and you have no idea of the depth of corruption there. You simply don’t do business there unless you’re willing to ‘pay the man’. It’s simply looked on as another layer of tax and it goes all the way to the top. Mr. Zelenskyy, the raunchy transvestite, is now a very rich man.

          Hell Trump was just as bad as the rest of them, he did what he was supposed to do and that was to take care of the 1%. First it was the huge tax break he gave them, then it was the trillions he dumped in the stock market for them, while that little tax break he gave the working class was gobbled up by the tariffs he put on China. When people get it through their heads that capitalism is just bad as any other ism why then perhaps that may change, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it for the two party system will take care of that.

    • DrTomSchmidt March 4, 2022 at 10:44 am #

      That really is the issue, Walter. The enemy of my enemy is… well, not an ally, but a help. The biggest threat to my life now seems to be not terrorists, nor Russia, nor China, but the people who provoked a war that could go hot down in DC. Russia: nuke DC, not the rest of us, and we will probably forgive you. If Lot bargained for DC, and God promised not to destroy it for there being even 2 good men in the city, a smoking hole would soon ensue.

      “They set it up nakedly by replaying the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse”

      One thing people forget about the CMC: we had placed missiles in Turkey that Russia wanted gone. The Russians put missiles in Cuba, and JFK “forced” them to back down. Of course, as part of their agreement to remove the Cuban missiles, we removed the ones from Turkey. Both sides got what they wanted; JFK got to look like a tough guy who backed down the Soviets; and the Soviets removed the threat of first-strike decapitation, which is what they cared about.

      • draupnir March 4, 2022 at 12:19 pm #

        I gpt this from Orlove just now. A copy of the official Ukrainian document was included in the email. Here is his translation:

        This official Ukrainian document has just surfaced. Here is my translation of it (from Ukrainian):

        From: Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine
        To: Minister of Community and Territorial Development Chernyshev A.M.
        Dear Alexei Mikhailovich!
        I wish to inform you, that based on the situation on March 4, 2022, more than 40% of the territory of Ukraine is occupied and controlled by divisions of the Armed Forces of Russia.
        Civilian population is continuing to hastily flee the country (based on the situation on March 4, 2022, more than 180 thousand persons).
        More than 75% of the military potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been destroyed.
        There is a sharp conflict between “Azov” [Nazi—translator’s note] battalions and the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The nationalist battalion no longer obeys orders.
        We do not expect any real military help for Ukraine from the side of NATO.
        In consideration of the above, I ask you to attend a closed extraordinary meeting…
        /Signed/ Alexei Danilov
        Make of it what you will, but I have a feeling that lots of people are going to start making bets on when the Ukrainian regime is going to capitulate.

        • abbybwood March 4, 2022 at 1:39 pm #

          Plus the United States has anywhere from 15-37 Bioweapons Labs operating in Ukraine and Putin knows where every single one is.

          I hope while he’s at it he destroys all of them.

          • draupnir March 4, 2022 at 2:15 pm #

            Including some that were reportedly working on developing airborne rabies. I have heard taking out those sites were a top priority of Putin’s. No wonder the DS is having such a fit–all their lovely toys destroyed. Then, of course, there’s the money-laundering capability and aledged child trafficking operations gone kaput. I guess they’ll have to move their operations to Africa, unless the Chinese have it all wrapped up. These aree truely evil people.

            I saw a short video on bitchute yesterday where a young Ukranian soldier had surrenderedd to the Russians. It looked like he was in the care of their version of the Red Cross. He was given a hot drink and hot food, and one of the women used her cell phone to call his mother. He cried.

          • Alzaebo March 4, 2022 at 7:58 pm #

            “working on developing airborne rabies.”

            Then Putin is fulfilling Fatima’s prophecy. And I’m not even a Christian.

          • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 10:19 pm #

            Both sides are using the milk, cookies, and mom tactic to make the prisoners look weak.

            Some woman wrote to Vonnegut about his Dresden novel and just shouted “Babies, they were all babies”. He should have just told her to shut up. The only reason women have anything is because of the conquests of their men. At least clever women want to keep their men strong, even if they don’t care about them.

          • draupnir March 5, 2022 at 4:40 pm #

          Dmitri Orlov has one of the sharpest and most incisive pens on the entire internet. If you want to guarantee that your name will be at the top of the list for interment in the Utah concentration camps, just sign up to read him at Club Orlov.

          What is the goal of American policy in Ukraine? (yes, there is a goal, don’t let their choice of a senile old grifter as figurehead fool you)

          Prior to Russia invading and taking charge of events, the American goal was to integrate Ukraine into NATO and station missiles along the border five minutes from Moscow. The second goal was to provide cover for expanding the economic war against Russia and to stop the EU and Germany in particular from building closer links to its natural trading partner.

          What a difference a week makes! War has shifted the goal posts. Now the goal of American policy is to create a quagmire to trap Russia into a long guerilla conflict with the fighters of the Azov battalions who love nothing better than to engage in genocide of any civilians who speak with the slightest hint of a Russian accent. The longer the slaughter goes on the more time for economic warfare to isolate Russia from all the vassal states of the EU. I’d wager that Right Sector leaders and their American advisors made it very clear to acting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that should he attempt to seriously sue for peace his life expectancy would be measured in days or minutes.

          Russia may have dreamed that a Shock & Awe blitzkrieg would produce a rapid surrender and the ability to achieve their goals of de-militarization, de-Naziification, and Ukrainian neutrality, The war was basically over on the first day, complete air and naval superiority attained, air fields bombed, command and communications disabled. Any rational national leader would try to negotiate to retain as much of his national sovereignty as possible while granting the security needs of the victor. But a negotiated settlement is not in line with American policy, and a few hundred thousand souls lost in the quagmire suits them perfectly as it does for the wolves of the Azov who glory in the taste of blood and veins in their teeth.

          The American propaganda system is so complete that they can photoshop images from decades-old conflicts with impunity, and the COVID Fear-conditioned populace will accept them without question. So they report that the massive Russian convoy has stalled 20 miles north of Kiev, apparently out of fuel (or perhaps vodka). This from an army that has in its history a winter time retreat almost to the gates of Moscow and the cost of millions of lives. Russia man have a shortage of many things, but transport fuel is not one of them.

          Reports on the ground from Kiev point to a puzzling scene. Cars driving around, electricity functioning normally, water and sewer systems operating. Sounds of bombing and fighting in the distance, but little direct action in the city itself. Doesn’t sound like a city under siege. Could it be that Putin is deliberately holding back in an attempt to shelter the civilian population from the horrors of block to block bombing and fighting? If you are going to occupy the country and enforce de-militarization it is far better to have a compliant populace than an active resistance.

          The second “mystery” is why Putin makes no move to deploy the King and Queen that he holds in his hand. Russian NG continues to flow through Ukrainian pipelines where it earns transit fees for the very government they are at war with. Once it exits into Poland it goes to Germany to keep industry rolling and heat homes throughout the remainder of the winter. This is to help the same German government that just torpedoed a multi billion dollar Russian/German pipeline designed to provide secure low cost Russian gas to Germany for years in the future. And is sending thousands of anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine to challenge the current Russian air and ground dominance. Almost looks like Putin is willing to accept minor roadblocks along the way to eventual victory in Ukraine for a near future where Germany and Russia are joined at the hip through energy and the dysfunctional EU and US/NATO are in self-induced decline.

          I’m not sure that my simplification of a complex situation with decades or centuries old roots constitutes Ocam’s Razor, but it is useful to go to the roots before trying to sort through all the propaganda that flies around war.

          • draupnir March 4, 2022 at 6:36 pm #

            I’ve been on that list for years. It’s good to read something from a less than hysterical observer. I prefer a less emotional analysis. I believe nothing the MSM says. I read Al Jazeera too, as I like to see a perspective that is not western. If I were China, I’d take this opportunity to grab Tiawan. Now would also be an excellent time for Kim Jong Un to start lobbing missiles around. What about that trucker convoy. I hear it’s 10,000 vehicles strong, extending 70 miles. So many balls in the air!

      • beantownbill. March 4, 2022 at 1:12 pm #

        I forgot about the missiles in Turkey and you are 100% correct.

        • SpeedyBB March 4, 2022 at 2:57 pm #

          Yes, btb, liquid-fueled Jupiters in Turkey. And they had reportedly already become obsolete, even before the Cuban gefuffle. So Kennedy’s “removing them” as a token of accommodation for the Soviets was no big deal. He did ask all concerned to keep it “…our little secret…” however.

          • beantownbill. March 4, 2022 at 3:05 pm #

            Yeah, I would guess it helped allay the Soviets’ fears that we were threatening them with missiles near their borders. Gee, where have I heard that before?

          • Alzaebo March 4, 2022 at 7:34 pm #

            We “removed” them…by putting them on submarines, kept cruising around the Bosphorus entrance to the Black Sea.

            So I was told by a submariner who had served on one of those subs as late as 1979.

            That’s probably why Turkey was invited into NATO, and assisted us in Vietnam, who was a Russian client.

          • pyrrhus March 5, 2022 at 2:25 pm #

            Both sides traded tokens, since the Soviets didn’t really want to deal with a few missiles in Cuba…and we came close to nuclear war before the trade finally happened…

    • zekesdad March 4, 2022 at 11:02 am #

      I think your “truth” is selective. What about Putin’s murders in Grozny, of journalists and dissidents, etc. and the invasions of Georgia and Crimea?

      • Walter B March 4, 2022 at 11:10 am #

        In the history of mankind there is one group that has always been and always will be the perpetrators of murders and on a mass basis and they are the governments of every nation ever created. Our own government is very good at it too. Barry Obama once decried the fact that he was very good at murdering people with drones and Hilliary bragged about murdering Kaddafi. Sorry.

        What about the crimes of HW Bush? Former head of the CIA…maybe the then -warm-and -fuzzy CIA, but will you assume no outrages were committed during his tenure?

            I wonder how Edward Snowden, his wife and child are doing in Moscow?

            I hope he is busy writing another book.

            That whole incident with Russia giving a safe place to live to Snowden after he revealed massive NSA spying on the American people is a major thorn in the U.S. elites sides.

            Assange should be living in Moscow too.

          Grozny Chechen’s were another Contra paramilitaies staging base.

          12,000 Chechens volunteered in Grozny, last week, to help Putin- because he cleared the gangsters out .

          This is what it would look like if America decided to clear the Cartel out of Mexico- pretending, of course, that it wasn’t Pappy Bush and Salinas who put them there in the first place.

        Zekesdad,

        Well, if you want to play whatabout, how about those we are holding in Guantanamo, withoiut bringing charges against them?

        What about the recent SCOTUS decision that exculpatory evidence cannot be aired because “national security”?

        What about our own journalists and politicians, such as Gary Webb, Paul Wellstone, Michael Name Escapes Me, and others?

        What about the Native Americans?
        What about Hiroshima?
        What about what about what about . .

        NB: It is our OWN actions as a nation and those of our politicians that we are responsible for. It is not our job to be global playground monitors “punishing” other countries for actions that, in any event, we make a point of not even trying to comprehend.

        It is the hypocrisy and self-righteousness that stinks to high heaven and that nauseates the rest of the world.

        Putin referred to the Grozny situation in his speech, laying the blame where it clearly lies, on US support for the terrorists in Chechnya.
        It was a difficult fight to get them out, but they did.
        The US also supports jihadist terrorists in other countries, as they did in Afghanistan.
        The terrorists in Syria have killed half a million people, but I’m sure that zekesdad, steeped as he is in msm propaganda, thinks that those deaths are a good thing.
        The US is occupying 30% of Syrian land and is stealing their oil, but I’m sure that zekesdad also approves of that.
        Julian Assange, still atlive but being tortured, instead of being killed like Michael Hasting, Danny Casalaro, Gary Webb, Dorothy Kilgalen, and many more, can sneer at zekesdad for pretending to care about journalists in Russia’s health and safety.

        • Paula D March 4, 2022 at 12:02 pm #

          My friend in Russia answered the bullshit about “dead journalists”.
          “One thing that is really apparent once you get outside of the bubble of western European and North American “news” is that other regions get it all, much more than what is seen in the west. For example, everyone in the UK and US is sure they know the most complete story and all others just get propaganda. That becomes quite obviously not the case once outside of those regions.
          A good example is a universal assumption in UK and US that Putin is a dictator, and thug who murders everyone who criticizes him. Russians don’t believe it because they see not only the western version and the Russian news that has major coverage of business and political crimes.
          Every single death of politicians or the journalists (nowhere near as many as claimed in the west) has involved investigations followed in the press, arrests, and convictions, except one. That one is still unexplained but the reporter, from 15 years ago, was murdered. The west says she was a Putin foe but her reporting was primarily corrupt businesses and she was doing a series on one particular oligarch in a southern region at the time.
          But all the others were put into context and one was a jealous husband, another minor politician was in dirty with Chechen “businessmen”, another in the UK was dealing in arms and controlled substances in the UK and had no contact in years with Russia. but no investigation for any of them was done before the press and western politicians blared headlines “Putin murdered critic”.
          If you saw TV and the range of topics and views expressed on Russian media, and no one getting upset you could see how ridiculous that western claim is.
          People just do not get worked up about someone’s opinion, it is not a scandal for an opposing view. Heck, the presidential debates featured far-right nationalists, the communist party, various liberals and a few centrists.
          Who was the main centrist? Putin. No one edits what is said on TV or in print, no one cares that much. There is none of the PC police like in the US where a single word that is currently banned can ruin a career. There is more freedom of speech because it is the nature of the society, regardless of laws…by the way, the constitution is a remarkably liberal document and it is supported. Read it, it is a pretty good representation of real Russia and very different than claimed in the west.
          Regarding Putin being a dictator, that is nonsense, the same way FDR was not a dictator although Republicans claimed he was. You stabilize a horrible situation and greatly grow the economy and increase personal security and economic mobility, and invest heavily in infrastructure that improves everyone’s life and boosts pensions 1000% over 8 years, and incomes 500% while cutting inflation from 80% to 2% and any president will be very popular.
          I have lived through these changes and it is remarkable how it has transformed the society. It is also misreading of the government structure to claim anyone is a dictator, there are too many divisions that have a say. Putin gets a consensus by being a mediator and drawing on the best plans from some very bright people in government. He is balancing diverse views.
          One of the problems with the democracy here is that it is TOO open. There are too many parties so none can generate enough support to dominate. Putin is not in any party. He was in United Russia but quite saying it was not in the country’s interests to have the president representing a party when that office has the entire country as the constituency, and he needs to represent everyone. The more people know about the facts, the most popular he is, and the most rabid Putin foes in the west are the least knowledgeable about how the country works, its wide up democracy, and how spread out power is.”

          • C.O.Jones March 4, 2022 at 12:18 pm #

            A few years ago, I spent a week in Russia and was amazed at how popular Putin was. I encountered a couple of older people who missed “Uncle Joe” as they referred to Stalin and his communism but everyone under the age of 60 was pro Putin. Most Russians don’t speak English but with my rudimentary Russian, I ascertained the reason for his popularity was that he was in favor of the Russian people.

            I left thinking the United States needs someone as pro US as Putin is pro Russia.

          • Islander March 4, 2022 at 1:01 pm #

            Thanks, Paula!

            I hope your friend in Russia will continue to send dispatches so you can share them with us.

            I too have a friend in Russia, and his comments always offer valuable perspective. Of course, I ASK HIM what he thinks about this and that. He knows that I genuinely want to understand the situation and learn.
            He is highly educated. Recently I asked him what he thought of Sergei Glaznyev, one of Russia’s top economic advisers. I had listened to a speech of Glaznyev’s that he had made back in 2015. It was startlingly prescient. About Glaznyev my friend wrote:

            “Sergei Glazyev was absolutely correct in his characteristics of the Ukrainian regime and gave the prophecies that have been fulfilled. His political position at that time, as an economic advisor of Putin, with respect to Ukraine and the agreement on its association with Europe played a very important role in the events of 2013-2014.

            “I knew Sergei Glazyev since my study at the Economic faculty of Moscow University. He is of the same age as I, but he began to study at the Mechanic-mathematical faculty of the University and then he went to the Economic faculty with the loss of one year. Then he worked about 8 years at the Central Economic-Mathematical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Science where I worked, too. His office located on the same floor in this Institute as mine, and I knew him very well. He was a bright young scientist, who changed his activity and made a remarkable career at the beginning of the market reforms of the 1990s. During a year or a year and half, he was the minister of foreign trade in Yegor Gaidar’s cabinet of “young reformers”. However, Sergei Glazyev changed his mind radically with regard to these reforms in the mid of the 1990s and made a successful political career in opposition to Yeltsin. Nowadays, he is indeed the leading economist opposing the neo-liberal economic-financial block in the Russian government.”

            Of course we have been corresponding since before the Maidan, so he knows that I am not an American fool falling for all the BS.

            We must maintain as many people-to-people connections and communications as possible.

            I couldn’t believe the headlines I saw on the newspapers at the Stop&Shop today.

            Also, a lot of people still wearing their masks . . .

          • Islander March 4, 2022 at 1:06 pm #

            PS
            My friend said that support for Putin is very high. No chance of any regime change there. He also commented on Scott Ritter’s article about Putin psychosis:

            “The article about P-psychosis is excellent. The narrative of a tyranny of one man is deceitful or results from misunderstanding of reality. P is a strong national leader with a strong electoral support, but in many cases he prefers to find compromises and to behave very cautiously. Ritter Scott correctly mentions that “Russian policy is made by professional bureaucrat-specialists resident in the extremely dense permanent Russian bureaucracy”. IMO, big businesses and top politicians also take part in making Russian policy. There are limits to P’s power as well as constraints in the domestic economic and social spheres, which are taken into account in policy-making. Ritter Scott provides correct arguments that Russia’s strategic decisions are not impulsive.

            “Andrey Martyanov is very competent in geopolitics and strategical issues. However, he refers in the last video to Rostislav Ishenko (whom I respect), who appeals to the opinion pools in Ukraine, to which one should not trust much. Such pools are politically motivated and organized to demonstrate the results politically desirable for the Ukrainian regime. Moreover, almost nobody in Ukraine would now dare to reveal her/his true attitude to Russia.”

            This was written on Feb. 7.

            Thanks, Islander.
            My friend is actually from Sacramento. He got into ham radio as a child, which allowed him to communicate throughout the world, then traveled widely as an adult and decided that Russia was the best place to live.
            I guess ham radio was an early form of social media.
            That is why our ruling overlords are banning it, along with every other form of communication that doesn’t come top down from them.
            My husband just turned on Dish and found out that they have banned RT.

            No, Islander, I meant that they have banned people from social media. I am on yet another 30 day banning from facebook. It all started when Congress told social media companies to censor people, back in 2017 and facebook hired the Atlantic Council to censor. I got put into jail 3 times for sharing that photo of the Azoz group with the NATO flag and the swastika flag. The Atlantic Council doesn’t like that evidence being shared.
            I think ham radio is still a thing.

            This is why Putin/Russia waited as long as he did before making his demands for a new security structure, in December.

          • Paula D March 5, 2022 at 5:48 pm #

            Islander, why did Russia invade at this time? I was as surprised as everyone else, but this report (which seems to be translated by Google) is interesting…
            “December 2021 Russia receives Ukraine’s data on NATO plans link on the territory of 4 military brigades (2 land, 1 sea, 1 air). Air brigade capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
            Agreed with the deployment of NATO troops in the summer of 2022 at the unification of the UN Security Council. Further, most likely by the end of the year, they provoked a conflict and would begin to counteract Russia with full-scale actions with the use of weapons.
            Those. it is supposed to unleash the 3rd world war with the use of weapons against Russia.
            The key role in this was assigned to the arrest of the American-controlled elite in Ukraine and the nationalists.
            In order to prevent 3 world wars and attacks on Russia using American weapons, the Russian government decided to stop this situation and restore order in Ukraine.
            The West gave information through social networks and other things that Russia attacked. They are offended that their plans were destroyed, and now Russia does not destroy the nuclear threats that exist in Ukraine and at the expense of Ukraine.
            By the way, what Putin said: the time for the warheads to fly from Kharkov to Moscow is 3 minutes, there is no time for a retaliatory strike. From the USA – 30 minutes, there is time to answer.
            Only now has it become possible to publish intelligence data on the preparation of provocations with the subsequent occurrence of a treacherous strike with the infection of the population on the territory of the LPR and DPR.
            Putin got ahead of Ukraine and accidentally saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the republics.
            A day before the start of the war against the spread of the Russian-speaking population in the Donbass, court decisions were made.
            The Ukrainian Army (APU), under pressure from the National Battalions, was preparing to launch a military rifle in the Donbass on 02/25/22.
            Vladimir Putin was literally a day ahead of the plans of Kyiv and the West, that the connections would seize the strategic initiative.
            About a week before the start of the Russian special operation, Eduard Basu reported on the interception of the map of the arrival in Donbass from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was clearly laid out there when long-range artillery strikes, when MLRS, when by aviation, strikes by the operational tactical group (OTG), respectively, “North”, “South” and “East”.
            OTG “Vostok” was supposed to act on the dissection of Donetsk and Lugansk.
            They were given three days to travel abroad, and the Yug OTG acted together with the Aidarovites, who, according to the plan, were supposed to play the role of a detachment.
            In the north, where Luhansk, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were supposed to operate under the cover of the “Right Sector”, they were supposed to meet in the Komsomolsk region south of Donetsk and cut off the LDNR from the border with Russia.
            Within two days, it is supposed to begin a “complete cleansing”.
            The emergence of Donetsk, Lugansk and several other cities is not planned to be captured for this purpose, but simply to surround and block, that is, a complete blockade is envisaged at selected points, before a “complete cleansing”.
            There is an assumption that this plan was developed jointly with the curators of the regions, because. the Americans had previously transferred about 5,000 of their soldiers to Poland, plus there was also the Polish army – they thought they had to block the Kaliningrad group processing, so that in which case it could not advance into the attacked territory of the South-East of Ukraine.
            The second grouping is a thousand soldiers of the Stryker brigade (armored vehicles) in Germany. This group blocked Transnistria in order to coordinate, penetrated there, through the South it was not possible to advance to Odessa.
            This was all an expected set of actions that were to begin on the night of February 24-25.
            coverage, the action of Ukraine’s Armed Forces was only one day ahead.”

            Paula:

            Putin is known for having stated:
            If there is going to be a conflict, strike first.

            That is what he did.

            all else at this point is gnashing of teeth, heard round the world.

            I am not at all surprised to hear that the Russian security services had this inside info. as to a coming attack. Also, Dumbshit VP Harris said out loud, at the Munich Conference, that she approved of Ukraine’s joining NATO.
            Trigger!!

            The way the hapless Zelensky is being built up to George Washington 2.0 is pathetic and risible, if it weren’t so scary. Do Americans know, in their self-righteous moralizing about oligarchs, that Zelensky was created by Igor Kolomoisky? Not that I approve of oligarchs, but again, the combo of ignorance, hypocrisy, and moralizing stinks to high heaven.

            The Russians made a preemptive strike. The situation was clearly very fast-moving in the run-up to the actual invasion. I, too, was surprised, as I know that Russia doesn’t “want” Ukraine. But, knowing what we now know, I see that Russia had no choice to but to stirke first.

            As for the savageness combined with pettiness (no Russia Dressing, no Russian cats!) of the West’s response is of course not just “reaction” but actual further provocations that will affect the course that the military war takes, and well as decisions Russia takes in the future not only to protect its own economy but to sink the West’s. Which IMO was not part of the original aim, although gamed out in detail.

            We really have no one else to blame except our “leaders” and those who put them on the chessboard when our economies start to grind to a halt and basics become ever more unaffordable for millions. Worse in Europe, of course. But they may see the light and beg Putin to let them, finally, sign a contract for some gas.

            Now Harris has been sent to Europe again to represent the United States.
            This is horrifying.

            I expect that the Russians are genuinely sorry for us Americans, in a way . . .

            I think that Putin stated:

            If a conflict is inevitable, strike first.

            Russia has been preparing for this for the past 8 years. It tried to head off the inevitable conflict, neutralize it, tried to appeal to common sense in the West.

            But that effort was obvioiusly getting nowhere. It came down to “Eat or be eaten.”

          To [partially] answer your question, Alzaebo:

          Those precious Washington elites may well hold shares in United Fruit (now snazzily renamed “Chiquita Brands International”.

          I mention this because that was one of the triggers that started me off on a path of doubt in the early 1960s, before which time as a frisky teenager and Cold War liberal (not to mention Air Force brat whose dad was in SAC) I did not question the innate goodness of the power brokers in Washington. Innocent, wasn’t I.

          Reading of the lethal escapades of United Fruit in Guatemala and the tragedy of President Jacobo Árbenz opened my cute little eyes. Probably Paul Krassner.

          And today, sixty plus years later, scanning the Wikipedia biography of Árbenz and poor abused Guatemala, I get angry again. United Fruit + John Foster Dulles + CIA (bre’r Allen) + the world anticommunist crusade. Sweet and evil.

      My impression is that foreign policy hardly ever arises as a debating point at US election time. Politicians get voted in or out for their domestic policies.
      One consequence of this is that it has given some dangerous lunatics (e.g. Lindsay Graham) a free rein on the international stage.
      Another is that once elected, politicians do not have a clear mandate from the people in respect of foreign policy. So they ‘ask the experts’ – i.e. the unmandated Deep State. And so we are where we are.

      • Uncle Bob March 5, 2022 at 8:52 am #

        Right. American voters may give a quick once cover regarding candidates’ foreign policy if they aren’t complete idiots, but we elect people based on their lies regarding what they’ll do for us RIGHT NOW. Government based on appeals to narcissism and lies — isn’t it great?

        BTW, Lindsay Graham is considered by many to be the best foreign policy expert in all of Congress. If Americans paid attention to foreign affairs, Graham, not Trump, would’ve been nominated in 2016, and we would’ve had the Talking Pantsuit for the last several years. Of course, if we cared about international events, we probably would’ve re-elected globalist GHW Bush, and the last 30 years would’ve been vastly different.

        Also, a few years ago the compassionate, “equal rights for all”-minded Democrats and media (same thing) went after Graham, calling him all sorts of homophobic names after someone planted the story that Graham is gay. He denied that he’s gay, but they persisted, probably because of a belief that all Southerners (especially Republicans) are gay-hating hicks and the Dems could beat him with a “traditional” candidate — you know, the kind the D’s decry for being benighted bigots. Not ironic at all, is it?

    The world was beginning to grok how dishonest, deadly, and sinister the whole Covid caper really was — from the engineered and patented origins of the disease, to the lethal mechanisms of the “vaccines”

    From where I stand, Jim (the UK) I don’t think there’s been any grokking at all. If you tried to argue the ‘vaccines’ were anything other than a miracle cure here you’d get laughed out of the room as a conspiracy theorist.

    The skepticism of their effectiveness might have increased, slightly, but no way on earth would the peeps believe they were deliberately manipulated into taking them or that they are harmful in any way.

    If Covid-22 came along next week it would play out in just the same way. Frightened sheep running everywhere. Sad to say.

        Here in Maryland, Wegmans is the supermarket for the horsey set and the McMansion managerman fools. About a mile from there stands a “Pennsylvania Dutch” market, for the peasants. I visited both today. More than half of the Wegmans clientele, and all the staff were masked. Maybe ten percent were masked in the Amish market.

      I live in the southeastern United States for now and I’m not seeing anyone grokking a darn thing except maybe they should sell their house because the price of real estate has skyrocketed. They don’t think far enough ahead to ask themselves where they would live if they sold out for huge profit. They don’t recognize that it would be exorbitantly expensive to replace the abode they just sold for 3 times what they paid for it – they see the profit and nothing else.

      JHK diagnoses the issues precisely and articulates them in an expressive and entertaining matter. He SEES things that are invisible to the sheeple and has the guts to document those things. I’ve said before, I’m a huge fan – that’s why I’m here.

      That’s also why I’m hoping I’m being shortsighted when I say Durham isn’t indicting anyone but is instead running out the clock.

          Buy gold.

          I recently read that gold is not a method of wealth BUILDING but of wealth PRESERVATION.

          Not sure HOW to buy gold, though.
          No matter how much I try to figure this out.

          There is some guy named David Morgan who seems to be a specialist in purchasing and storing physical gold.

          Some people saly buy jewelry and just keep it in a safe. Bury the safe. But . . . where? I live in an apartment.

            If I am allowed..

            Find the number for Liberty Coin Service or Abbott’s Coins in Michigan. They are reputable and established coin/bullion dealers.

            Call them. Tell them you want to buy and ask if they know of a reputable coin/bullion dealer near you.

            I’ve learned that these dealers often do business with out of state dealers. You want some one you can see and who sells and buys. Good luck

            Short term wealth preservation perhaps. Essentially as an escape vehicle.

            I have read that gold will go up in value when people loose faith in government. Are we currently looking at lift-off?

            I don’t think “short term” was the intended meaning.

            My understanding was that the price/value of gold will keep pace with inflation.

            That is why wealth PRESERVATION as opposed to wealth BUILDING (say, via investments in stock market).

            Pick any generational time period, and compare the gain in the POG with the DJIA, real estate, inventory, etc., and see what you come up with.

            To what extent do you think that the current money flow (escape vehicle factor) is impacting the POG, and how long might it last?

            If there are 100 people in line ahead of you at the coin shop, and the first guy cleans them out, then what?

            And what if the government outlaws the ownership of gold? If you own or trade it, that makes you a criminal.

            Think in terms of investments that can accommodate a lot of money. Bonds, stocks, and to my point, real estate. Bonds tend to be the equivalent of money, so in such a scenario, they will loose half their value. Inventory could be considered a store of value, so that may justify an investment in some stocks. Unless the rules change and real estate is damaged or confiscated, it can be considered a store of wealth (perhaps the current appreciation is such
            an example), and this investment tends to have the blessing of government due to the tax extraction.

            I think the gambit is to avoid the devaluation, and then swoop-in and buy-up the fire-sale bargains. If allowed, won’t the Chinese be in the best position to mop up the blood?

          • Paula D March 6, 2022 at 12:00 pm #

Our government controlled by the banksters don’t give a shit about the people. They have their underground cities to run to when the balloon goes up, so they are releasing it themselves rather then face the public for their numerous crimes. The only thing that can stop them is a fully armed citizenry, and they know it. Hence all the bullshit mass shootings, false flags, opiate crises.

          If people were really smart, they couldn’t have been so easily duped. Part of it is IQ: the White average of 100 just isn’t enough. Part of it is character: conformity is part of the average person’s makeup, often even of smart people.

          And of course our way of life is specialization, and demands that we trust other people not to harm us. This trust is often abused.

          • Slugoon March 4, 2022 at 12:32 pm #

            I don’t think it’s an IQ thing, Jar. I don’t see any relationship between IQ and being duped. It was touched on in the last blog by GA and others that it could indeed be the intellectuals that are disproportionately duped.

            Initially, I equated the willingness to mask up and get vaccinated with being pro-EU and anti-Brexit but now I’m not so sure. There is something else within our psyche at work here. The obedience to authority. The willingness to believe everything the media and government tells us.

            I’m getting the same vibes with the Ukraine situation that I did from two years of Covid. And sadly it’s making me hate my own country.

          • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 1:41 pm #

            Well dumb people are easily duped, but I admit smart people often dupe themselves for various reasons. They’re tied into the System and thus it must be wonderful! Or put negatively, they have so much to lose if they admitted the truth about it and detached from it.

            Thus Orwell’s, Only the proles are sane about the war. Or C.S Lewis’ shock on the train (he was an officer) upon being called up in WW1: None of the working class guys going in believed the anti-German propaganda. So why are they going, he thought? Because they had to, you idiot.

            It’s not the dumb people are actually smart. But smart people are often really dumb, lacking all commonsense and street smarts (knowing how much the Lie plays a part in life). The lower class has that kind of intelligence, yes.

        It’s the divide in the reality of hands on working to the virtual unreality of the internet and zoom or administrative, managerial class.

        Total disconnect.

        Hunger is only cured by eating. Thirst is the same way. The urban dwellers are going to be in a real pinch.

        In all of the historical food shortages in our collective past, when communities had to buy food it was because they were starving.

        And we just Willy nilly go to Whole Foods and purchase organic produce and meat like it will always be there. Total fakery.

        • Mister Roboto March 4, 2022 at 10:37 am #

          Yes. Only a tiny fraction of the Ukrainian population support Nazi ideology, but in the current regime, their influence is disproportionate and they are able to operate out in the open to the extent of having a battalion in the military that uses a Nazi symbol.

          Putin is a billionaire oligarch who rules Russia with the same iron hand that successful Russian leaders historically have, but those who would compare him to Adolf Hitler just need him to be a cartoon Cold-War villain to prop up their sagging Democratic-Party worldview.

          I am also dismayed by neo-con Republicans such as Sean Hannity calling for NATO to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which would certainly precipitate a civilization-ending World War III.

          • zekesdad March 4, 2022 at 11:09 am #

            Defending a weak country against an aggressive bully would start World War III? That would be Putin’s decision. I guess you think no one should ever stand up to aggression, lest we make the bully mad.

            2050- 160 million

            Western Ukraine was the empire of Khazaria in the 10th century, and held for 300 years, as did Alexander’s Greek Bactria in Afghanistan.

            People complain, “Khazar theory?!
            But the king converted, is all!”

            I say, no. His guards would’ve killed him, if it were him alone.

            When Rome ended Israel as a kingdom, and leveled the former City of the Shal- it’s builders, before the Hebrews came along- they rebuilt Jer-u-Shalim as Aeolia Capitolina.

            The Jews of Israel had to go somewhere. Where did they go?

            Khazaria was not a conversion.
            It was a people coming out of hiding.

            One historic homeland is being traded for another, for the Pale.

            Jewish traders were central to the Dark Ages economy. They could go between the Viking, Persian, and Christian worlds.

            (Thus the political balance-of-power compromise at Nicea: Father, Son, Holy Ghost allowed representation of Jewish merchants, Christian cities, and pagan suppliers.)

            Later, their Ebionite or nazween movement- the violent Hebrew-speaking hotheads who wanted war with Rome, the very faction that Greco-Aramaic speaking urbanites like Jesus were contending with- converted their Hagarite brothers during their evangelistic phase.

            Borrowing a bit from Nestorian and Arianite pamphlets (Syrian Nestorians and Gothic Arianites rebelled against the Trinity doctrine), the Hagarites eventually became what we now call Islam.

            Popular stories were accumulated loosely together into what became the Q’uran; the final version, after much war, was edited by Uvalve in 333 After Hajira.

            Arab mercenaries followed Cloestes l in the Great Conquest, the war that bankrupted both Byzantium and Persia. The 4 Righteous Caliphs were generals; they murdered Cloestes and renamed the Persian conquest the Arab Conquest, and political Islam was born.

            What of mighty Khazaria?
            They had lifted their brothers by Ishmael, and were subsumed by the long war between Allah and the Roman Christians.

            Nonetheless, rump populations remained, eventually becoming the Pale, just as the Mizrahi will remain, as they have since Syria Palastina, in Jerusalem.

            They will retake western Ukraine, former Khazaria. The tactics they use are their Way, have been so since Labanayama the Canaanite.

            For the Tribe to survive, they must have a defensible redoubt. Israel is not their first home. It is not their last. Their People are their home, no matter where they might live.

            David Duke said that Iraq (Babylon) was also sacred to them since that’s where the main version of their Lawbook/Scripture was written, namely the Talmud.

            That didn’t work out. They ended up rebuilding the Shiite crescent instead.

            Making a military agreement with a weak neighbor of a Nuclear armed country that has equivalent defenses to the West is not a wise decision. We never had any intention of defending Ukraine. We have been grifting off that country and using it to impede Russia’s energy dominance of Europe.

        Zekesdad.

        The US/NATO toppled an ELECTED government that wanted to be closer to Russia, and replaced it with a pro-Western government.

        They exhumed the Nazi past. They killed and harassed ethnic Russians.

        If they were permitted to get away with it, then next they would have NATO bases.

        Russia really had no choice.

        I saw a 2010 election map. The eastern Ukraine voted strongly for the pro-Russian candidate, the Western part for pro-NATO.

        For peace, the best answer is for Russia to annex the East Ukraine, and for the West Ukraine to be neutral, no military, with Russia and NATO signing a treaty to that effect.

        The far west Ukraine has had many masters. The EU and Ukraine can discuss, if they dare, who should get Lemberg.

        I hope the Russians

        • Paula D March 4, 2022 at 1:56 pm #

          And in 2019 the eastern Ukrainians were not even allowed to vote, but still Zelensky beat Poroshenko by running on a platform of peace with Donbass. The rest of Ukraine apparently is sick of the nazis attacking their fellow citizens.
          Then he got in and apparently had a call from the economic hitmen, because he never even tried to follow through.

          • Paula D March 4, 2022 at 2:19 pm #

            And then the Democrats impeached Trump because they said he held up weapons and advisors to Ukraine.
            The Democrats were mad that the killing in Donbass might be slowed down.
            But now they care.
            Sure.
            And all those people dumping out vodka and wearing blue and gold ribbons who didn’t care about all the people being killed, beheaded, having their eyes gouged out, because “Trump”…..now they care.
            Sure.

        It is not being pointed out enough how the CIA and the State Department (is there much difference? ) overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine (a tortuous, multi-year process to have a legit election destroyed in a color revolution) in 2014.

            However, RFKjr does lump them all together when he talks about the main purpose of the CIA being forced regime change of democratically elected governments, to be replaced with regimes “more favorable” to their viewpoint.

    All the while, we are implementing sanctions on Russia, which has the adverse effect of harming the poor Russian men, women, and children that have no power over what their governmental leaders are up to.

    It angers me no end that the US created mayhem in Ukraine and for the past 8 years, kids have had to sleep in basements because of constant shelling, but now suddenly Russia is the monster. And our ghouls in charge launch a virtue signaling campaign that has separated off most of the the rest of the people who resisted the covid19 hoax back into MSM/mainstream narrative camp.

          There is almost nothing stronger in this world than being “against”. These people would never deign to wear or fly an American Flag. But a flag that signals their hatred of America? Bring it on and they’ll put it on.

          As Alinsky said, Lucifer was the first rebel but hardly the last. Most who rebel end up in bed with him. The protest culture that was created in the 60’s is insatiable for new things to be against. It begs to fed and food for it will never be lacking.

            @ Jarek:

            Most people have a large supply of stored-up anger–usually without acknowledging the real causes of their anger, even to themselves. They are really very eager to have someone/something to direct their anger AT. They are on board with anyone who will give them an object for their anger. it can be rather pleasurable to indulge in anger.

            Many bloggers play on this human foible. Karl Denninger (whom I greatly admire) is an example. It’s very easy to become an anger junkie.

            It has long bemused me why Americans feel a need to put a flag outside their property or wear an American flag lapel pin. I guess it’s safe to do it inside the US borders. Apparently, according to posters above, NOT displaying such flagrant emblems of loyalty is tantamount to “hating” America. Ha.

            On the flip side, whereas a young Australian or a New Zealander will purposefully stitch a flag or other emblematic icon on their backpacks so as to be identified as being from that part of the world, Americans are emphatically discouraged from wearing such things as the attention generated may well attract ‘trouble’ they don’t personally deserve or be able to deal with.

        Ya gotta laff at this “covid narrative collapse” meme you guys are all vamping on now.

        The pandemic has almost run its course, which it was always going to do – that’s simple enough to figure out. But rather than see it for what it is, you still insist on your conformationally biased view that “the narrative has been exposed” and blah, blah, blah. It’s (all but) over, that’s all.

        I read today that US employment is going through the roof (again) as people learn to live with Omicron – which, in a vaccinated population – is comparatively mild and probably the ‘last gasp’ of the “pan” part of the pandemic. This will lead to its becoming endemic, perhaps seasonal, much as the 1918/19 pandemic gave us the endemic flu virus we’ve all become familiar with in the century since.

      I agree that there is plenty of evil entrenched in D.C.–most all of it Fascist/Socialist Democrat scum working day and night to destroy freedom and the American Republic. They have latched on to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, not because they hate Communism–in fact, the Democrat scum admire it (and profit from it)–but because they have to oppose Putin to retain any political credibility in the U.S. That does not change the fact that Putin, like Xi, is an anti-American, anti-freedom, genocidal thug who is more than willing to exploit any weakness in his enemies. And, Lord knows, with Biden, Harris, the Democrat Administration, and the Democrat-controlled Congress, there is plenty of weakness and stupidity to exploit. Thanks in large part to the Democrat scum, the world is left with no good options to deal with the expansionist desires of Russian and Communist China, there are only bad options, worse options, and worst options. Little doubt that Biden and Co. will choose the worse or worst options–in the last year-plus of this disastrous Administration, they’ve chosen the worst options EVERY TIME..

        Had America played its cards right after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russians could by now be our best friends on the planet. Maybe. Now, all bets are off. But the Russians have embraced some aspects of capitalism, as have the Chinese. The Chinese are the iffy ones. I watched a Netflix documentary the other night, about the silk road project and the Chinese business and industry going on around the world. They will have problems in Pakistan and eventually some of their African ventures. They have made a lot of progress and it seems they intend to rule the world economically and they just might pull it off. If the BRICS idea is a success and the US no longer has the worlds reserve currency then it will get ugly for sure.

      The PTB wanted the war. They would like to squeeze Russia, and having Ukraine in NATO makes Russia more militarily vulnerable.

      In a conflict, Ukrainians and Ukraine are expendable.

      The PTB figured they might get lucky and win. Maybe really lucky and topple Putin, a smart leader who vexes them.

      But, fellow CFNers, the action in the Ukraine is really the sideshow.

      The Western bank sanctions are WW3 in the financial-economic realm.

      They will hurt Russia. But Russia is falling from the 2nd floor AND Russian society can take it

      They will devastate our teetering economy. We are gonna fall from the 5th floor, and we are soft and diverse/divided.

      Global reserve currency? The US system may implode, as food and fuel costs skyrocket past the current 1979-80 level of inflation, and trade freezes up. The dollar might become less credible than today’s ruble.

      It may require a new “digital currency” to get out of the mess. A big “reset”.

      And that is the objective of the PTB. Control the masses of the West first, then work with/coopt China (which already controls their masses), for a one world government.

      The pandemic, this war, the “war” to save the planet, equity, are all part of the quest for one world government. And the American public, like Vietnamese, Iraqis, and Ukrainians is expendable toward that end. Our elites are globalists, not Americans.

      Russia’s leaders seem to be Russians. Trump, flawed and immature as he was, seemed American, not globalist.

      In this, I think our brilliant host may underestimate the globalists and how controlling the urban/suburban public will facilitate controlling much of the world made by hand. Look at the USSR, or German-occupied Greece in WW2

      IMO

      R2P.

      USA/NATO used it in Yogoslavia, Lybia, Syria, etc. and that is one of many precedents instituted by the West that RUS is following.

      WMD

      RUS probably has better intelligence regarding CIA biolabs in Ukraine than GHWB had about “yellow cake” in Iraq. That’s another precedent.

      Israel

      If Israel can say that a land they occupied 2000 years ago is still theirs, than why can’t Russians say the same about a land they occupied 30 years ago? Yet another precedent established by the West.

      This could go on and on…

          I haven’t researched this yet, but after the fall, in ’91, and borders were registered, re-registered, to whatever gets done in some process, the Ukraine region didn’t play. This opens the case, if true, they had no recognized borders thus “invasion” becomes an intellectual exercise.

      Russia was protecting the breakaway Russian people living in Donbas who have been constantly shelled and bombed by the Ukraine military for seven years. There is this thing called the MINSK Accords which Ukraine agreed to then reneged on.

      Remember Samantha Power and her “Responsibility 2 Protect” hokum? That’s what the US used to overthrow Qaddafi in Libya. Now Libya is a failed state with slave/human trafficking.

      Putin is just protecting The Donbas which is why it is now completely encircled by Russian troops.

    Morning Jim – excellent take as always, thanks. I’m with you.

    “And all of sudden, it appears a lot of American citizens have had enough of being fucked around. I’m with them.” ~ JHK

    Just my 2 cents, but I think the heart of the Ukrainian affair is Davos (globalists) vs. nationalists.

    They won’t let Zelenskyy surrender because then it’s no longer legally a “war”, but negotiation and reconciliation.

    In other words, they’ll sacrifice innocent Ukrainian lives (no matter how many fucking lapel ribbons they wear), in order to continue to vilify Putin on the world stage.

    Sacrificing innocent people (and our health, economy & sovereignty) in order to continue to vilify a nationalist. Sound familiar? Where have we seen that tactic before?

    After listening closely to Mr. Putin’s speeches it is obvious he is moving ahead with his plan as stated as accurately as he can in a state of war. The scary part for us as a whole is the fact this is only part 1. He is after NATO! So will he be demanding those country members to denuke once his precedent has been set in Ukraine. He has stated this and threatened Finland and Sweden.

    • BackRowHeckler March 4, 2022 at 10:33 am #

      Sen. Lindsey Graham irresponsibly called for Mr. Putin’s assassination. In the first place this distinguished Senator doesn’t comprehend that any replacement for Putin might be a bigger hardass than Putin himself, and one looking to take out his revenge on the world. Secondly, it might not to be such a good idea to de stabilize a country that has 5000 nuclear warheads in its arsenal, a good number of them pointing in our direction.

        Sweden saw the light, and/or adapted to the “new realities” in the 1700s, and became neutral.

        But before that, Sweden was a major power, as was Poland.

        I think Sweden made it as far south as the Ukraine.

        Over time, Russia and Prussia/Germany displaced Sweden and Poland. Sweden was lucky to be far enough away. Poland was divided between Russia, Prussia, and Austria.

        Lemberg has changed hands several times.

        I understand Putin has acknowledged that the Western Ukraine was taken from Poland by the USSR.

    The world was beginning to grok how dishonest, deadly, and sinister the whole Covid caper really was — from the engineered and patented origins of the disease, to the lethal mechanisms of the “vaccines”
    **********************

    My oldest sister (67) died of a heart attack in December of last year; at least thats what my youngest sister told me.

    I want to ask my 2 other sisters who took care of my oldest sister, if ________ was fully vaccinated; but Im pretty sure the question would make them angry since they themselves are probably fully vaccinated?

    See how that works?

    If a person is fully vaccinated they can’t consider the possibility the vaccine kills people; I think thats the source of the anger they have when you engage them in any vaccine related subject?

    Oh well, Im one of 8 children so I guess I’ll monitor this little “experiment” because I can pretty much guess which family member got the vax and which didn’t. (5 sisters 2 brother)

    Written in 1998 in the NYT, Kennan (who joined the State Department in 1926 and was U.S. Ambassador to Moscow in 1952) virtually predicted today’s insane brink of war with Russia:

    “I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” said Mr. Kennan from his Princeton home. ”I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else.”

    He went on to say:

    “It shows so little understanding of Russian history and Soviet history. Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then [the NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are – but this is just wrong.”

          “This expansion would make the Founding Fathers of this country turn over in their graves. We have signed up to protect a whole series of countries, even though we have neither the resources nor the intention to do so in any serious way. [NATO expansion] was simply a light-hearted action by a Senate that has no real interest in foreign affairs.”

          “What bothers me is how superficial and ill informed the whole Senate debate was,” added Mr. Kennan, who was present at the creation of NATO and whose anonymous 1947 article in the journal Foreign Affairs, signed ”X,” defined America’s cold-war containment policy for 40 years. ”I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country dying to attack Western Europe. Don’t people understand? Our differences in the cold war were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime.”

      Kennan was amazingly prescient in so many of his writings and speeches. Where are people like that today? Instead, we’ve got Buttpounder and Chlamydia Harris.

        The people with intelligence, maturity and integrity have all been chased out of politics. Those with none of those traits have been rewarded with campaign funds, TV interviews and control of countries. Justin and Joe are poster boys for the latter. They consider themselves and their families above the law for the simple reason that they are. The worst that will happen to Justine after he/she/they are kicked out of office is a plum position in an NGO.

        People are chosen for important positions based on checking boxes for increasingly weird reasons. Sam Briton is a perfect example. Who knew we needed a sadomasochist in an important federal job?! This group had been sadly misrepresented and the error needed to be corrected.

        To read more about his important contribution to western civilization:

        “t is going to be quite interesting to see how official conservative Washington responds to the Sam Brinton hire. I bet response is muted to positive. Why? Because though what Brinton represents is being championed by liberals, and he is a progressive hero, objecting publicly to people like Brinton and what they represent is something that is no longer done in elite circles, even among conservative elites. By the time the Boomers and the Xers die out, there will be no one left to object.”

      This official Ukrainian document has just surfaced.

      From: Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine
      To: Minister of Community and Territorial Development Chernyshev A.M.
      Dear Alexei Mikhailovich!
      I wish to inform you, that based on the situation on March 4, 2022, more than 40% of the territory of Ukraine is occupied and controlled by divisions of the Armed Forces of Russia.
      Civilian population is continuing to hastily flee the country (based on the situation on March 4, 2022, more than 180 thousand persons).
      More than 75% of the military potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been destroyed.
      There is a sharp conflict between “Azov” [Nazi—translator’s note] battalions and the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The nationalist battalion no longer obeys orders.
      We do not expect any real military help for Ukraine from the side of NATO.
      In consideration of the above, I ask you to attend a closed extraordinary meeting…
      /Signed/ Alexei Danilov

      • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 12:58 pm #

        The Azovs are killing civilians who try and flee Mariupol. They want them there so can they be killed by Russian fire and then blame Russia. Utterly twisted. Not Aryan (noble) in any way.

    Bravo. Right on the money. Such a shame that 60% of Americans guzzle the Lefty purple Kool-Aid. The U.S. has become the mass equivalent of Jonestown, or the Heaven’s Gate cult. Jim Jones and Marshall Applewhite are laughing now.

    It’s no wonder the likes of Biden, Hillary, Sanders, Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez and mainstream media rule the roost. The vast majority of Americans are hook, line and sinker under their spell.

    This is the beginning of the end for a once great nation, and there is no turning back. America is too far gone. How pathetic. The sad part is watching the slow motion collapse play out. The USA is gone with the wind. Best learn to speak Russian and Chinese. It’s their time. They know the U.S. system of switching leadership and focus every 4-8 years doesn’t work. They’ve got 30-year plans and take full advantage of Western folly. All they need to do is watch America slip further and further into chaos while they advance like Hitler. Soon the USA will collapse into civil war. That’s when they’ll step in, comrades.

    • TaxDonkey March 4, 2022 at 11:25 am #

      The US, China and Russia are all on the verge of collapse. All three need to make their play for world domination NOW. There’s no 30 year plan anymore. China’s environment is dangerously toxic, they have energy issues and feeding their 1.4 billion mouths is a serious liability in an energy constrained world. Russia needs higher commodity prices to sustain their economy and avoid collapse. The Davos crowd apparently feels like they need nuclear annihilation so they can build back better. Everybody has to make their play, the pace of events is speeding up.

      • Disaffected March 4, 2022 at 12:14 pm #

        • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 1:04 pm #

          Not China? I think you’re wrong.

          Not Putin? He has said things about the tragedy of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Eastern Europe doesn’t trust him. But I admit it’s far more ambiguous than Oceania or East Asia.

          Soros said something awhile back about regime change in China. Evidently they weren’t amenable to giving up their nationhood and sacrificing their people like “we” are. Maybe that’s what cinched the Russian/Chinese alliance.

          • Disaffected March 4, 2022 at 4:29 pm #

            China remains to be seen over the long term. Of course they could eventually stupidly follow the US’ path and try to rule the world militarily, but at the current time and given the sterling example of all the US’ blunders, they realize that all that military nonsense just robs them of prosperity and does nothing to enhance their security. The US, on the other hand, as a byproduct of all the European lust for empire before it (not to mention a certain ethnic/religious group), has been scheming to rule the world since at least the time of the civil war. Global empire has been a uniquely European/American project for the last several hundred years at least.

          • Disaffected March 4, 2022 at 4:33 pm #

            And in any case, the US is in no position to contest global leadership with either Russia or China now, and very likely never will be again. No need to shed crocodile tears however; thanks in large part to our worship of money and all the things it can buy, we did it all to ourselves.

          • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 10:02 pm #

            Yes, when the Japanese first met Europeans, the concluded they were very “yang” – masculine and expansive. Driven even more by this trait than their lust for wealth.

            The Chinese advance more by need and weight of numbers. Thus what they conquer stays conquered as per Tibet. More Chinese than Tibetans now.

            “They had an administrative meeting!

            That is exactly how the Holdomor story was invented, based on imaginary meetings of evil men.
            They took a real event, a famine, and 50 years after the event they invented a story and spread it all over the world and the universities.
            Again, you are free to believe the word of known liars if it comforts you.

    #2 while technically true (the low incidence of severe COVID in children) is false in essence because a placebo, six bowls of Cap’n Crunch or Tabasco sauce enemas would also result in the low incidence of severe COVID in children… mainly because severe COVID like severe anything primarily happens to the 300 lb, one-foot-in-the-grave set.

    I’m all for Putin going after those labs. Those labs are a threat to all humanity. If they have the same setup in Taiwan, then I can see why China may want to invade. Labs like those are the cause of pandemics and crop failures. The reason they are not in the US is because they would be scrutinized and there would be a chain of responsibility. I beginning to think China was the fall guy for covid, that one of these labs the elite control in China intentionally released this virus.

      I guess it was just a coincidence that a bunch of nursing home residents near the lab had died of an unknown disease in July.
      Oh, and then we started seeing young men die of a severe lung disease that summer and fall. Cause they vaped, doncha know.
      And then four soldiers who went to the Military Games in Wuhan in November 2019 were hospitalized with an unknown respiratory disease.
      No way the US would be working on gain-of-function research trying to weaponize flu and aerosolize Ebola.
      Yes, they are and right here in this country.
      What’s more they are going to move one of the bioweapon labs, which also works on weaponizing plant diseases, as you point out, from Plum Island, New York to Kansas.

    I didn’t know the Surgeon General had police powers.

    “President Biden’s surgeon general on Thursday formally requested that the major tech platforms submit information about the scale of Covid-19 misinformation on social networks, search engines, crowdsourced platforms, e-commerce platforms and instant messaging systems.

    A request for information from the surgeon general’s office demanded that tech platforms send data and analysis on the prevalence of Covid-19 misinformation on their sites, starting with common examples of vaccine misinformation documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The notice asks the companies to submit “exactly how many users saw or may have been exposed to instances of Covid-19 misinformation,” as well as aggregate data on demographics that may have been disproportionately exposed to or affected by the misinformation.

    The surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, also demanded information from the platforms about the major sources of Covid-19 misinformation, including those that engaged in the sale of unproven Covid-19 products, services and treatments.”

    Geopolitics has been called The Great Game, and Russia plays it every bit as much as we do. No doubt we have been meddling in Ukraine and elsewhere, but so does Russia, and Iran, Israel, etc. But what’s happening now isn’t a game but is wholesale slaughter of innocent people by a paranoid war criminal. Russia and Ukraine may have a complicated history, but the fact is, Ukraine been an Independent nation for decades, and the idea that NATO or Ukraine is or was a threat to Russia is a sick joke. If they were, Ukraine would have been fast-tracked to membership a week ago, and A-10 Warthogs would have already wiped out Russian columns and artillery.

    This whole thing reminds me of the misogynist you read about in the newspaper. “My ex-wife was messing around with another man! That’s why I cracked her head open and then stabbed her. She made me do it!”

      @ zekesdad –

      Fact: Ukraine was part of Russia for nearly 300 years, breaking away when the Soviet Union collapsed.
      Fact: The United States promised there would be no eastward expansion of NATO at the time of Soviet collapse.
      Fact: Since the US promise of no eastward expansion of NATO, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Bulgaria have joined NATO putting the lie to the promise.
      Fact: The Military Industrial Complex – pronounced US government – has been spoiling for a war with Russia for decades, Hillary Clinton being one of the biggest proponents.
      Fact: By extending an invitation to Ukraine – informal or otherwise – to join NATO, the US government caused great consternation to Russian leadership. The prospect of NATO missiles on his front porch was too much for a proud Russian to bear.
      Fact: Putin did everything but beg the US to sign an agreement not to put missiles in Ukraine. He did this within the past month. When the US refused twice, Putin rolled the tanks.

      Does that help you connect the dots?

      If Putin is smart, and he is, he will install a Russia-friendly government in Ukraine and skedaddle. The longer his troops stay in Ukraine, the bigger the chance for US involvement.

    Where do I stand….

    The Forward Observer reports’

    OATHKEEPER PLEADS GUILTY TO SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY: The Justice Department (DOJ) announced Joshua James, a “regional leader” for the Oath Keeper organization, pled guilty to charges of seditious conspiracy and obstruction. The DOJ’s release said James “used encrypted and private communications, equipped himself with a variety of weapons, donned combat and tactical gear, and was prepared to answer a call to take up arms.” No weapons charges were included in the announcement, but the DOJ notes James gathered “thousands of dollars in weapons” for distribution to supporters. (AC: This high-profile guilty plea is likely to be used in ongoing domestic extremist hunts. The current administration could expand targeting of activist groups. Political advertising and media coverage will highlight James’ access to weapons. Talking heads will disingenuously tie firearms ownership to domestic extremism. As the midterms approach, expect these cases to reemerge in support of Democrat campaigns. – D.M.)

    …Them DOJ’s are a great bunch of guys and gals…or whatever. I would like to buy them all a beer….

    • elysianfield March 4, 2022 at 11:13 am #

      Fucking “conspiracy to commit sedition”? Thousands of dollars in guns (That could be no more than one or two) Private communications? You Commie tweetin’ sumbitch! Tactical gear can be duty boots, web gear, and a Gerber folding knife.

      As Thwack might opine;

      “He bees guilty”

      Maybe, just maybe, we “all’s be guilty”? in the eyes of the Government.

      Just Sayin’……..

    “I won’t bother listing the many transgressions of Wokery against our culture and history. And all of sudden, it appears a lot of American citizens have had enough of being fucked around.”

    This.

    In Oregon we have a strong experienced candidate who is running for governor as an Independent and raking in donations from all our big moneyed folks (Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Timber interest, Ag).

    This is happening because everyone is tired of being fucked around. We traveled a good portion of the state the summer of 2021 and the devastation of small rural towns and businesses from stupid Covid policies was crushing. The loathing of Portland by most everyone is a real and those living outside of the metro area resent its influence.

    And Portland politics are shifting as well. Our formally pretty city is a wreck and a joke. In the last couple of weeks Mayor Wheeler has enacted emergency powers to deal with the homeless issue and to go around the inept commisioners. The situation is out-of-control and since the Dems and non-profits have been in charge it is a very real weak point especially if they want to win the governor’s race with their feeble candidates. Obviously they’re trying to get it “solved” by summer so they can claim victory for the election. We’ll see.

    I mention this because it shows the flux we’re all in as a result of the last couple of years. My guess is the increasing decrepitude of Biden, the Durham indictments, the Covid fallout and the breakdown of the economy will disrupt the current party system which is basically a uni-party.

    Both “franchises” have failed to appeal for a long time so its why it’s in our faces constantly. Pushing the idea that if you aren’t for a Democrat you must be a Republican and visa-versa is quaint, out-dated and ignorant. Those currently in charge no longer have idealogical room to maneuver that isn’t obvious to anyone paying attention.

    In the last couple of days “Joe Biden” has officially threatened BOTH India and China with “serious consequences” for not going along with sanctions against Russia.

    I guess we don’t know the extent to which the CCP influences “Joe Biden” versus the Davos puppet masters, but it’s looking like the command and control center is short-circuiting from all the mixed commands coming in.

      I wonder whether there is a “reverse Stockholm syndrome,” where as soon as you grasp what people you are dependent on to survive, insted of identifying with them so that they will feed you and you do survive,

      you immediately turn against them, start flinging shit at them, bite them whenever you get the chance, urinate on them, verbally abuse them and their pets, refuse to identify with them as members of the same species of H. sapiens, until you finally collapse in a heap and starve to death.

    Imagine if you would, that China overthrew the government of Mexico and helped install a corrupt puppet leader under the guise of a “free” election. Free including jailing the opposition and any opposed media. Then China invited Mexico to join some relic Cold War military organization who’s main purpose was to force member countries to buy Chinese manufactured weapons and point them at the US. Then Mexico urges China to accept them into the organization and provide them nukes.

    Would the US, in the interest of self preservation, not attack Mexico and overthrow its government?

    • JohnAZ March 4, 2022 at 2:38 pm #

    How To Get OUR President Assassinated

    All you have to do is call for a foreign leader to be assassinated.

    Let me remind you all of just one thing: Whatever you think is appropriate for someone to do to someone else you have given the green light for that tactic generally.

    Whether someone might decide on their own to do such a thing is a question for clear debate. For example, would you have been willing to assassinate Hitler, given the opportunity? Would you do whatever you could to create the opportunity? Is that a reasonable thing to contemplate? There are many who would say “yes”, and perhaps they’re right.

    But a sitting Senator of a nation advocating same against a country we are not at war with is begging for that to change just as Senator McCain did by giving speeches advancing actual revolution in 2014 over in Ukraine at the time.

    A revolution that, I remind you, did occur.

      Assassinating Hitler wouldn’t have accomplished much as SS General Reinhard Heydrich would have stepped up and took Hitler’s place. Heydrich is called the Architect of the Holocaust; what’s more, as a trained officer he might not have made the same military mistakes Hitler did and Germany might have won the war.

      Who knows who Putins successor would be, maybe some embittered old Cold War General who wants to get even for the Soviet collapse in the 90s.

      If anyone – stand-up comic, unemployed sausage-maker, let alone a government official – in Russia had suggested that it might be a good idea if someone offed our glorious leader, we would claim that to be an act of war.

    Sandwiched in between the French invasion of Russia in 1812, and the German invasion in 1941, was the Austrian/German incursion deep into Russia in 1914, in which Russia incurred 10 million casualties, including 2.5 million KIA. Axis forces blew thru Ukraine well beyond Kiev and reached about as far as the contested Donbas region before they were halted; unlike in 1812 &1941 Moscow was never a goal in the first world war. 2.5 million KIA in 1914-1918 and 27-35 million dead 1941-1945 may be one reason the Russian people are a little bit nervous about having an unsecured western border. The world has forgotten about events of 1914-1918, but perhaps Russians have not.

    “… the whole Covid story was falling apart.”

    Lies have a shelf-life. They can only be conjured and fortified for so long. And the Dark Powers who move us all around like Chattel know that and always have The Next Lie at the ready. (And the next… and the next…).

    The problem is, those Dark Ones aren’t even trying much any more. They aren’t even trying to come up with good story lines to keep us transfixed in fear and in awe of Their great wisdom and leadership. They are just recycling old stories… re-runs. Disease and war. Disease and death. Wars and death. Be afraid of this… be afraid of that. And hoping that We all become preoccupied with ‘The Crisis Of The Day’ as the Dark Powers dispense it though our State media while We the People never set our gaze upon Who and what is the real threat and the real cause of our problems. The real place of origin of disease and death.

    “Forgive me for saying what I will about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The US authorities wanted it.”

    Wanted it? They have been BEGGING and salivating for it. It’s a good thing that no one in America knows or cares what The Indispensable Nation was doing to Ukraine in 2014 which was foreplay for today’s orgasmic pursuit of the long-awaited massive population reduction campaign and trying to topple Russia so that ‘Full Spectrum Control’ would be asserted World-wide in some kind of sick Manifest New World Order Destiny. All we need is Biden or The Giggler to come on to our National State media and declare to the World… ‘Resistance Is Futile’. Hope they can still fit into their Star Trek convention duds when They make that speech.

    “And now the economic sanctions on Russia, which are sure to blow back on the countries issuing them.”

    One way to keep people at home is to get gas to $5.00 a gallon or more. Take away our mobility and opportunities to travel. Keep us penned in and scrounging for the last bag of pasta at the Megamart.

    The leveling and wiping out of America’s Middle Class and small businesses marches on. It’s a feature, not a bug.

    “…why does this blog appear to take Russia’s side in the current conflict against the US and our supposed allies?”

    The only side being taken here is on the side of a rational pursuit of what is really going on. There is no ‘siding’ with any one side in this Monstrosity because ALL sides are FILTHY.

    “There is a difficult slog ahead. Is your head screwed on?”

    More importantly, if it IS screwed on… is anything productive going on in there? There are lots of people walking around with heads still attached but there are no lights on inside and the cobwebs in there are getting thicker.

    And when the current ‘difficult slog’ begins to wane as the Covid Con has, They will have teed up ‘The Next Big Crisis’ for everyone to obsess about and virtue-signal over.

    100% with you Jim, and have been in my own conclusions as to what and the why of this Ukrainian fiasco cum Covid coverup.

    As to those behind the Ukrainian portion, I point to the nature and scope of the 100 + year war for continental conquest of the world’s largest land mass initiated by the Rhodes Trust, its “scholars” in their parts played, and how the Russian Revolution (Western-assisted) kicked it all off by taking out the Romanov dynasty from the field of play. “Murder most FOUL!”
    It’s truly never ended, with the stated (and written of extensively) the heirs to the Rhodes fortune (associates—-not family) were tasked with Cecil Rhodes’s dream of reuniting the USA with the UK and to further the domination of the Anglo-Saxon, English-speaking countries over all the world’s lands and seas.
    See who financed the USSR, see who financed Hitler, see who remains dedicated to this singular pursuit of Establishment preoccupation with domination. The WEF is but another arm of this Hydra-Octopus.

      “The WEF is but another arm of this Hydra-Octopus.”

      Exactly.
      Schwab is probably kind of copying the Rhodes/CFR playbook.
      He dreamed up the WEF while at Harvard, and he probably had plenty of help doing so.

      I am appalled at the “Ukraine mobilization” in the local newspaper and in the community.

    If I was Russia’s ruler, once all sanctions are lifted and the world looks to restore normal trade relations, I would look them steely cold in the eyes and say “nyet, we are keeping all of our oil, so go bugger off!” It would be great to laugh and laugh as the grovel away and see how they have been played in the end.

      Quite so! They have China as a partner and customer. They’ll have others too, but with China they wouldn’t even need them. Let Germany beg. Start a reverse movement of Western nations leaving NATO to join the Asian Hegemony. If Putin does well by Ukraine, it may well put many Eastern Europe minds at ease and help pull them eastwards away from the degeneracy of Oceania.

I’ve looked for a while and can’t find any. CNN had some Ukraine’s firing at an “unseen enemy”. OK. I did see some kids filling thousands of Molotov cocktails. What’d they do with ’em, fill their cars? Something just doesn’t add up. A few buildings blown up, same shots on different channels.

    Multipolar World Order with Iain Davis

    “Whitney is joined by Iain Davis to discuss how the Western-led ‘rules-based order’ and its alternative, the Russia/China-led ‘Multipolar law-based order’, are two sides of the same coin and are leading the world into an age of technocracy.” ~ Unlimited Hangout podcast

    • The Man They Call Zazelle March 4, 2022 at 5:50 pm #

      Relocalization

      “We are seeing the collapse of post Cold War triumphalism, ‘end of history’, ‘unilateralism’ and all the rest of it. Reality is biting, and biting hard. All you have to do is watch CNN’s parade of talking heads and ‘experts’ speculating about how crazy Putin is: they don’t understand, therefore he must be nuts. For the West, as it has been, it’s over. The confusion, the bullshit, the boasting, the hysteria, the bans: the West has nothing left in the locker. Pour Russian vodka down the toilet, fire a singer and director, change the name of a drink or a salad, ban cats or trees, sanction a Russian plutocrat and steal his yacht, wear a blue and yellow t-shirt. Pathetic. And don’t, under any circumstances, allow a Russian outlet to tempt the sheeple with ‘disinformation’. Just like the USSR but stupider. And who thought stupider was even possible?

      Judo is about deception and using the opponent’s strength against him. Putin, the judoka, has judoed the West into suicide. Put your money in our banks, we can confiscate it; put your assets in our territory, we can steal them; use our money and we can cancel it; put your yacht in our harbour, we can pirate it; put your gold in our vault, we can grab it. That is a lesson that will resound around the world. A naked illustration that the ‘rules-based international order’ is simply that we make the rules and order you to obey them. In 2 or 3 weeks everybody in the world who is on the potential Western hit list will have moved his assets out of the reach of the West. Xi will permit himself a small smile.

      As to Western sanctions against Russia, I think there’s a very simple answer to that: last week 1000 cubic metres of gas cost $1,000; today it’s over twice that. Next week it certainly won’t be cheaper. Ditto for aluminum, potash, titanium, wheat. Russian airlines lease their planes; now what? Russian rocket motors. What the people in the West do not understand is the ruble is the currency the Russians use inside the country but the price of oil and gas is the Russian currency outside the country. I am astounded at the stupidity: they’re cutting their own throats and destroying their own economies.” ~ Patrick Armstrong

      An implication behind ‘Build Back Better’ seems to be that there must first be some sort of ‘demolishing’, yes?

  62. JohnAZ March 4, 2022 at 1:32 pm #

    Watched a Glen Beck You tube and a couple more by a guy who documents modern conflicts.

    Scared.

    Bottom line

    The globalists, whoever they are, starting with Soros maybe, are using political power against the West to destroy nationalism in the West. Their goal is to unite the western powers under one political and military regime. The regime will be much darker than today, literally and that is where the increases in population are coming from. Their plan is global, chipping away at the local power centers in favor of new world order. The governing entities of the US have been converted into soldiers for the globalist cause. The goal is the west becoming totally enveloped by globalism.

    Next target, circa ten years from now, Russia. Putin knows this. It is what Ukraine is really all about, blunting the globalist incursions into Russia’s domain. It involves the control of not just Russia’s oil and gas but Ukraine’s also as there are large deposits of both in Ukraine and Crimea.

    The NATO target of acquiring Ukraine is a dagger aimed at Russia’s heart to weaken it for the global takeover by the West, aKA the New World Order.

    Russia will not allow this to happen, period.

    What role China has in this is unknown, are they the ultimate winners, are they the third target for the globalists, ????

    The mechanism for the globalist takeovers is becoming more obvious. It follows the same thing the Rothschilds have utilized for centuries. Break the opposition’s economies. In the US, the mechanism is obvious because it is halfway complete already.

    How does the elite beat down an economy? By turning the nation into a poor gimme state, by tearing down the middle class, by moving national businesses into global corporations and moving them offshore. How to substitute poor gimmes for aggressive middle class? Open the Southern border and keep it open no matter what the political repercussions might be. Each gimme introduced to the country is a victory for the globalists. Each racial discord introduced is a victory for the globalists. The gimme, third world state is the end game for the globalists who will not stop until the USA, including Canada, and Europe are made into a gimme New World Order.

    The Deep State of the USA is but an arm of this effort. Every thing they are doing points away from US interests and toward global interests. AGW destroys the oil and gas power structure. Covid over reaction destroys national health structures in favor of WHO style healthcare. It also was an avenue to destroy the middle class of the US, the entire service sector.

    So the NWO wants Ukraine to win. No, they want the Ukraine to sap the Russians, like Afghanistan sapped them and us for stupid, non productive wars. The geopolitics, if you want to watch You tube excerpts, make it impossible for Russia to do anything else but invade and stabilize Ukraine and keep it out of the hands of NATO, aKA the New World Order. The elites of the NWO want Russia weakened, they do not give one damn about Ukraine.

    So much depends on the election this fall in the US. If enough Deplorable anti NWO folks get elected, it will put a serious dent in their plans for domination. I do believe that a humongous capital outlay will be brought in by the Deep State to make sure that it does not happen. The NWO gets their Deep State reinstalled, the end of the nation will be close behind.

    What to do? First, acknowledge the situation. Second, vote for anyone dissociating from the Deep State and supporting Trump this fall. Trump IS the only game in town that can even attempt to set these elites back on their heels. IMHO, If they succeed in destroying Trump and his legions with Jan 6 BS, the NWO is in charge. All the Whites need to move to the country that is trying to protect the Caucasian causes, Russia, if the NWO takes charge.

    The entire power struggle in the world right now hinges on one item, oil. The NWO needs that changed to finalize their takeover of world power.

    Hence, AGW and John Kerry.

    BTW, JHK was absolutely right on in 2005. Want to know what happens now? Check out You Tube’s evaluations and re read TLE and Too Much Magic, it is all there

    • JohnAZ March 4, 2022 at 1:36 pm #

      One more idea.

      JAZ, pretty good overall summary except for the part about Mr. Operation Warpspeed as the savior. LOL. How many non-swamp personnel did he have in his administration? Very few.

      Things are moving fast. The system will likely spit up another controversial ‘grey hero’ before the 2024 selection. Trump has fulfilled his role by red-pilling some folks. Many others need to step into this role now. It can’t be just one dude (supposedly) versus the system.

      • JohnAZ March 4, 2022 at 2:20 pm #

        But right now it is, that is my point.

        Vote against Trump and his cadre, you vote for the NWO.

        Trump has his problems, number one being outnumbered ten thousand to one by the Deep State and their parent, the NWO in Washington DC.

        You say he had Swamp people in his group, you are right.

        That’s because there was no other choices, the Deep State owns DC.

        He used his family and some close advisors for decision making and all he got was investigated, impeached, twice, his family constantly harangued by the Liberal MSM.

        It surprises me he wants anything more to do with this country.

        • JohnAZ March 4, 2022 at 2:24 pm #

          • JohnAZ March 4, 2022 at 5:48 pm #

            Regarding Covid, I did shift from neutral to anti vaxx once the data came out showing the s protein damage and I was able to assess the similarity to the virus itself. The idea that we were injecting the material that caused the over inflammation in the first place finally took hold. Gone is any faith in the Medical community.

            I will never ever believe that there is no such thing as a virus.

            As I will never believe that there is a better solution than Trump as long as I feel that everyone else on the national stage is the enemy of the republic or inelectable against the NWO Deep State. If some GOPers are good enough, they will have to prove it, I see none now.

      At 11:11 AM Moscow time (about an hour ago) the authorities of Zaporozhye Region announced that Zaporozhskaya AES is under control of the Russian forces.

      At 6:20 AM Moscow time the fire at the administrative building at Zaporozhskaya AES was extinguished with no casualties. It was probably set on purpose to create the media picture of “Europe’s largest nuke plant on fire!”

      At 5:36 AM Moscow time the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that the fire in the area of Zaporozhskaya AES did not affect any of the main equipment at the plant.

      At 4:47 AM Moscow time president Zelensky goes live to announce that the Russians are trying to create a new Chernobyl. A likely story, that.

      Between 3:51 AM and 3:59 AM Moscow time fire crews were on site putting out the fire. Apparently, there wasn’t a lot for them to do.

      Between 2:00 AM and 3:30 AM Moscow time there was a shootout at the power plant’s administrative building. Somehow it resulted in a fire at the administrative building.

      So much for a new Chernobyl.

    “In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” — Theodore Dalrymple

      Exactly. Some of us see through the lies and call it incompetence. Others see the lies and yet swallow them willingly. That is how you recruit devoted followers.

      Our “leaders” pretend to be incompetent so that we will laugh off any silly “conspiracy theories”. They are a few steps ahead of us. Nothing incompetent about that.

    They set it up nakedly by replaying the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse

    Hate to correct the man but:

    The Cuban missile crisis (as taught) was the Cuban Missile crisis in reverse. The Soviets were responding to the fact that the Pentagram had already installed missile in Turkey and demanded that they be gone.
    They were, of course, removed quetly in order to continue the tradition of maintaining a stupid and dangerous American people.

    The near game is Ukraine. Control of the European Steppes and the gas market in Europe is at stake here. NWO wins, Russia takes a giant step back. Russia wins, NWO continues weakening America and Europe and looks fo another way to eliminate Russia’s economy, aKA oil and gas.

    Midpoint, Russia subjugated by the NWO, they just keep coming, they dominate everyone but East Asia. Then what?

    Is China in cahoots, are they part of NWO? I do not think so, as they are fiercely nationalistic. It will be a battle for the world if stage three is NWO vs, China.

      “Is China in cahoots, are they part of NWO?”

      I think so. China’s star is rising, pulled upward, in part, by the fall of our star – pulled down by our bankers and corporations. China is taking the place of the U$ as global hegemon.

      Breaking Europe economically will force them to loosen ties to U$ and strengthen ties with China. China goes up while U$ goes down.

      The plutocrats want a world-wide China: cheap labor with all the profits going to the pigs on top.

      • TaxDonkey March 4, 2022 at 10:52 pm #

        If I had to guess, I’d say China is not part of the NWO. Are they in cahoots? Yes, there’s some kind of dirty deal between the CCP and WEF. For example, the videos coming out of China that are now proven fakes, where people with a new virus were falling down in the streets etc….suggests that the Chinese were in on the hoax. The Chinese and American authorities on the wet market pangolin horseshit story was just too smoothly coordinated as well.

        We don’t know all the details because we are insouciant.

    I suggest everyone watch Oliver Stone’s, “The Putin Interviews”.

    Stone is a hippie. A true hippie. He earned it. He self-enlisted in Vietnam. He served.

    He has not changed his allegiances like the other 60’s counterculture folks.

    He is AGAINST “the man” through-and-through. He does not equivocate.

    Now, take it for what it is, an opportunity for Putin to push his propaganda. But there is a lot of truth in it, the kind most Americans refuse to see: the imperialistic and war begetting agenda of the United States.

    Give the jingoism a rest. You’re being played.

    If you’re too dim to look askance at Hannity, Maddow, Soros, Cotton, Clinton Inc., the Bushes, Lindsey Graham, AOC, hedge fund billionaires, Soros, war hawks, neocons, Sean Penn’s & Hollywood lining up in support of a war that they NEED you to wage, that they will not participate in, then you deserve your fate.

    • thirdcoastlegend March 4, 2022 at 3:39 pm #

      Putin was a colonel in the KGB and spent a year in charge of the follow-on FSB.

      I am open to the idea that Vlad noted the WEF early on and joined with the intention of infiltrating THEM.

      Also note that the WEF has an organization called, “Global Shapers,” that is over 10k strong and active in over 450 cities around the world.

      • Night Owl March 4, 2022 at 4:40 pm #

        Yes, I mentioned the Shapers approximately two years ago.

      • Islander March 4, 2022 at 5:22 pm #

        TCL—
        thanks for the reminder that Putin was/is KGB adn the possible relevance of that item on his CV.

        It didn’t occur to me but it makes a lot of sense that Putin might have tried to infiltrate the organization to see what they are up to.

        I wonder whether there are, actually, some sleepers in there. It would seem like a very likely scenario. And, a great movie plot! In fact, writing a screenplay that pits some sleepers against TPTB in the WEF might be a perfect way to out it . . .

        As soon as i read the Global Shapers website and saw the “apply” button I thought that it would be great to get some promising Young Thing to apply as a sleeper (I am, alas, too old!!! and not much good at dissembling).

        I’ll have to see whether I can nudge my great-nephew in that direction.

        And, if he were accepted and even became a cult member, it might still be good for me to have some local “protection” when the totalitarian SHTF.

        • Night Owl March 4, 2022 at 5:54 pm #

          It is a cult. I explained this many times.

          At my company (a Fortune 500/capstone-type place), the annual meetings are near ritualistic, and we are inundated with WEF propaganda.

          • Paula D March 6, 2022 at 12:36 pm #

            That fascinates me, Night Owl. Why are they telling the employees of your corporation what is going on? You say they are trying to recruit them?
            For what? Are you supposed to be enforcers, or thought leaders, or what?

          • Night Owl March 7, 2022 at 8:02 am #

            They are not directly telling them/us. One must know the code. Most of my colleagues think we are saving the world by supporting companies engaged in “green” projects, or they believe Industry 4.0 and the digitization of bodies is going to be used to help humanity evolve in a positive way.

            The propaganda is the same, but the attempt to rally the team to the cause is much stronger here. It is cult-like.

            Since the start of the Ukraine narrative, I’ve been inundated with mails from higher-ups about how “although we don’t normally take political positions, we stand with Ukraine.” And we are regularly asked to donate to the puppet government.

            This messaging breaks a number of laws, but they will not get in trouble for it, because as the Covid Hoax showed us, laws no longer seem to have much of a meaning.

          • Night Owl March 7, 2022 at 8:03 am #

            I should also add that most also have no idea where the WEF/Transhumanist imagry that permeates our Intranet and company documents comes from.

            Many of the images are lifted straight from WEF materials.

        • thirdcoastlegend March 4, 2022 at 5:54 pm #

          Islander-

          One more interesting point about Putin.

          He was Boris Yeltsin’s hand-picked successor.

          I think he saw a strength in Putin that he did not possess, and understood that strength would be needed to save Russia.

          • Islander March 4, 2022 at 7:46 pm #

            Yes, I know that Putin was hand-picked by Yeltsin.

            I pointed this out in I think the previous thread, when someone was going on about how Putin is really WEF blah blah blah. Extremely unlikely, I pointed out, under the circumstances of how he came to power in the RF.

            Which is why the possibilty that he did consider infiltrating the WEF when he was still KGB even more interesting. Because Schwab has mentioned him in a way that sounded like Schwab thought Putin might be his man. That was in 2017, before Putin took the WEF apart in 2021.

        • GreenAlba March 4, 2022 at 8:34 pm #

          Apparently only 20% of Russians have taken the jab. They may support Putin on the world stage, but when it comes to new medications, they don’t trust their government. The Sputnik vaxx is similar to Astra Zeneca, if I recall correctly. I don’t think it causes as many blood clots, but it still uses messenger DNA to produce spike proteins. There was supposed to be a project involving collaboration between AZ and the Gamalaya Institute, and AZ are certainly dodgy, so I’m not sure I’d trust the Gamalaya either.

          It’s hard to know anything, though, as Russia apparently doesn’t have open-source death statistics, or so I read ages ago when trying to find out about adverse effects from their vaxx.

          • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 11:32 pm #

            Sad. I expected more from Putin. Also disappointed in Modi of India – a National Socialist. Such men of knowledge and power had no business giving into this. No excuse.

            The Chinese seem to have protected their people the best of all the big powers. Real National Socialism as opposed to India’s fake version.

          • GreenAlba March 5, 2022 at 7:10 am #

            I should have mentioned that I think I read that ordinary Russians have more widely (than here, for instance) bought into the vaxx genocide theory (I call it a theory, but I have bought into it as well, so that’s not a loaded word).

            Re China, I don’t think we can know yet what is going on. If China is a tool – or partner – of the WEF (after all, they did stage the Wuhan theatrics with people dropping dead in the street, so they must be implicated in what’s happening), their people may just be getting a stay of execution. The idea that the political cabal in Beijing care about individual Chinese people strikes me as fanciful. So, perhaps the Chinese people are useful to the global PTB until the West is subdued and its numbers reduced, then it will be their turn to suicide themselves. They have the social credit system already, in parts of China, so the infrastructure is partly in place.

            Based entirely on speculation … perhaps Night Owl or Mary has a view on the part of China in all this?

            My view on covid ‘vaccines’ and all the new ‘vaccines’ in the pipeline with the brave new world of vaxx-for-everything, is that we don’t really know what’s going to be in any of them, even if they avoid (or claim to avoid) mRNA technology. You can stick covert graphene and nano-tech, for instance, in any old vaccine – it doesn’t have to be a particular type. Or so I imagine.

          • Jarek March 5, 2022 at 12:12 pm #

            No, not as individuals, they have few rights after all. But as a People, maybe. That would make Xi and Co true National Socialist. And if not, maybe as their power base? That would make the Chinese Elite far wiser than ours.

          • GreenAlba March 5, 2022 at 1:27 pm #

            Caring about a People, without caring about their personhood, is not a concept that means anything beyond exploitation of real living human beings in the service of an ideology. You might as well be running a concentration camp full of your own compatriots.

            If The People matters and not individual people, then there’s nothing wrong with Bill Gates and his handlers bumping off most of the world’s population in the service of tidiness and efficiency, and keeping the survivors in digital chains for the same purpose. Except that there is.

            https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/oxford-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine.html

            “The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is based on the virus’s genetic instructions for building the spike protein. But unlike the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, which store the instructions in single-stranded RNA, the Oxford vaccine uses double-stranded DNA.”

            Do let me know if I can help you with anything else.

            The advantage of using DNA instead of mRNA is that DNA is more robust. So, for example, the ‘vaccine’ doesn’t need to be stored at a low temperature, like the Pfizer ‘vaccine’.

        A multi-polar world is always more free, because the hegemons are in competition with one another, and, therefore, must each offer something different.

        If the wokies actually understood what real diversity is, they would be much better off.

        The real danger we face now is the technocracy combined with centralization. Never in history has the technology been available to flip the existing system into something that can be used to ensure total conformity.

            I was in the Peace Corps in a small town in the mountains of the province of Tolima, Colombia. This was 40 years ago. I was paid $160 per month and never could spend it all.

            The capital city of that province (Ibague) has grown to 250,000 people. It has three universities, a public transportation system better than any in the US, and scores of new modern buildings. Rent for a modern 2 bedroom apartment in one of the towers is $250-300 per month. No expats to get together with and complain about their adopted country.. Learn to speak Spanish and you can have a life style that would cost $60,000 per year in Boise on a $15,000 US social security payment income with plenty left over for travel. I’d be the last to say that Colombia is perfect, but living on SS in the US isn’t either, especially as food costs start to eat up most of your monthly income.

            There are plenty of poor people in Colombia, but none are living on the sidewalk and shitting in the street like in San Francisco and Seattle. Which is the second world country and which is the Third?

            I would love to live in Central or South America.

            I need to start learning Spanish I guess. I hope they don’t close their borders against us – lol.

            Yes, much of the US is just as bad as or worse than third world countries. We have it all here, insane wealth and the basest poverty. Really sad what the powers that be over the decades have done to destroy things.

            The most interesting educational experience of my life was during Peace Corps language training prior to going to SA. Most Peace Corps training took place in universities back in the states. Not ours! Immediately after receiving our battery of shots we were shipped to a jungle camp in the mountains of Puerto Rico. On the second day we began four hours per day of one-on-one language training, in groups of 4 with an instructor who spoke Spanish with the local/regional accent of the area we were assigned to. At the end of the first day we were totally fluent in one phrase– perhaps with a vocabulary of only four words, but recognizable by any local of our destination.

            After a month of training they transported us out various locations around the country, gave us four dollars each, and told us to find somebody who would put us up for four days plus a longer stay at the end of training. Imagine trying to do that in Boise, speaking only a scattering of a language like Norwegian or Ukranian! Sink or swim– the goal was to weed out those who would not be able to adjust to a totally different style of living. Brilliant!

            I remember going dancing at the local tienda during the first week with a volunteer who arrived with a college degree in Spanish. At the end of the ten weeks training period almost everyone in the group was as fluent as she regardless of their previous background.

            In my home village I didn’t hear English spoken for months at a time. Fortunately I met a beautiful woman who worked at the Ministry of Agriculture who helped complete my Spanish education!

            Its easy to say— just duplicate a truly unique educational experience and go for it. But for someone nearing retirement age instead of being in their 20’s that is nearly impossible. I’d recommend choosing a place like Boquete Panama, with a large and diverse expat community overlayling a Latin base culture. Or if you don’t mind the heat, Cartegena Colombia Of course it will cost a lot more to live—.

            It’s time to find a way to step aside from the slow motion train wreck in the USA, Canada, and Old Europe if possible.

    • Anthea March 7, 2022 at 12:08 am #

      Pretty much everything the guy predicts has already been done at some level, so the guy has it right.

      What puzzles me is, “Why?” The people who control the world already have piles of money and are surely already have everything they could possibly want, and are able to do anything and go anywhere they desire. The only things they lack are eternal life and eternal youth, and I doubt that either of these is possible.

      It seems to me that there only two motives for wanting control over other people. One is profit, and it seems to me that profit has already been maximized well beyond all possible human desires. The other motive is to have absolute power to debase and degrade others, to rob them of all dignity, to destroy them spiritually.

      I think this is the ultimate purpose, and that it is deeply Satanic–evil for evil’s sake–though it’s interesting to speculate what manner of gain there might be in robbing someone of their very soul.

      Edgar Alan Poe gave his take on that, in the humorous short story, “Bon-Bon,” in which a devil (perhaps The Devil) represents human souls as food. And Unscrupulous Providence has so arranged things that this comestible must be purchased honestly. You have to make a deal with somebody to sell you one (theirs).

      Besides being possible the only good story Poe ever wrote, “Bon-Bon” has the advantage of making sense. If evil is nonentity and non-existence, the only way it can exist at all is by feeding on life and being.

      So I would say that our would-be overlords are not only far worse than we think: they are far worse than we can imagine.

      Historians of the future: The spark that started the fire!

      • Alzaebo March 6, 2022 at 1:47 am #

        A black criminal started the American Revolution when he resisted police:
        Crispus Attucks!

        Samuel Adams and his gang, the “Mohawks”, ruled Boston with an iron fist. They were so onerous some townspeople begged the crown to send extra police.

        The Parliament had already repealed near all acts excepting a small tax for policing, but that wasn’t enough.

        Tea smugglers such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, and a host of small vendors selling hot tea from carts on every Boston streetcorner, were about to be wiped out.

        The Crown corporation of British East India was granted tax-free status. The Amazon of their age, their exemption from taxes would ruin even notorious smugglers like Hamilton, who wore gold lame’ and rode in a gilded (painted gold) carriage.

        The British colonial police were set up. Someone alerted them to a gang meeting at an old widow’s unused rental house, and snipers in the woods (Paul Revere was one) plinked at them on the way.

        There, they met a group of armed men. They demanded the men drop their weapons. The leader, a black man named Crispus Attucks, refused, and raised his rifle.

        The British troops fired, felling Crispus in The Shot Heard Round The World.

      • cowbell81 March 4, 2022 at 5:23 pm #

        Notice that he wears the watches on his right wrist. That presumably means that he is left handed. Does his left handedness say anything about Putin as a person? I would argue that it makes him more of a creative and crafty type.

          Lefties are mentally wired differently than righties, although I’ve never been able to figure out exactly how. My impression is that they are not linear thinkers–and to some extent non-verbal thinkers. Linear thinking is useful but limiting. Thinking in words means that you’re operating in a mere caricature (cartoon) of reality. Lefties see a lot of things that we righties miss.

      • Islander March 4, 2022 at 5:55 pm #

        So what.

        He has a nice watch. So the fuck what.
        What is the problem here. You think it is tacky or something? He should wear a Timex watch?

        Dacha: Practically everyone in Russia has a dacha.
        I expect Putin’s dacha is very nice. He entertains the Russian and international elite at his “palace” on the Black Sea.
        Again: So what.
        Putin should invite heads of state of stay at hotel?
        Putin shouldn’t have a dacha? Or three?
        Compare: Camp David, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_David

        Putin has been working for the Russian people for 50 years.
        The only charges of some kind of corruption that I know of come from Americans.

        When it comes to Putin’s actual possessions, clothes, and imagined life style,their attitude is somehow that Putin, the leader of the largest and militarily strongest country in the world, should have nothing. He should be a monk or something. Because he is Russian. WTF?

        These assumptions are veiled racism. They do not seem to apply elsewhere. For instance, Queen Elizabeth has a ton of castles and flashy jewelry. She wears a different outfit and priceless gems every day.

            “Blancpain is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Blancpain family lived in the village of Blancpain in Normandy. The name of that town was probably derived from a person who worked as a baker.”

    Thank you mr K. Being able to summarize a situation into a digestible story is an art. Doing so with a note of optimism is a gift.

    We are living a new mythology, taking the glittering fragments from the wreckage of what remains and constructing a new narrative. It is our job to tell the story.

    It Feels like we’ve reached critical mass regarding public opinion of the WEF globalist story line. But what’s the next move? Three things –

    1- secure the vote
    2- free the media
    3- secure the borders

    Sounds simple, but because the US is so deeply corrupted, each step needs to be broken down into do-able doses. If we, the unvaxxed, manage to live through this, it will be our job to either fix or create a new system.

            This has been the most-researched vaccine of all time. You make uneducated post-hoc conclusions about complex science. You’re “sure that just happens” because it confirms a bias you already have.

            If you’re referring to myocarditis-related effects of the vaccine, children who get covid are far more likely to have myocarditis (and other (or other inflammatory issues like MIS-C) them than those who are unvaccinated. You can’t cite research because the research doesn’t support your point of view.

          • GreenAlba March 5, 2022 at 8:33 pm #

            “This has been the most-researched vaccine of all time. ”

            Please clarify (and there isn’t ‘one’ vaccine). The normal time for developing and safety testing a vaccine is 10-15 years. that makes the genetic injectables the least researched ‘vaccines’ of all time. It is also why vaccines aren’t normally developed during a pandemic – because by the time the vaccine is demonstrated to be safe, the virus will be long gone. This virus, unfortunately, has seen its activity prolonged and exacerbated by the inappropriate use of ‘vaccines’ which are not even vaccines, and which have driven the ‘variants’.

            I presume you have data on long-term safety on which to base your confidence (let’s say 10 years). Could you please advise where you got this long-term safety data?

            https://peterlegyel.wordpress.com/2021/12/20/unintended-consequences-of-mrna-shots/

            The figures in the above are out of date, of course. The current number of deaths following ‘vaccination’ on the VAERS site is 24,827 (under-reported by a factor of at least 10). Eighty-six percent of entries on VAERS are recorded by doctors, only 14 percent by patients. It is made very hard for doctors to report adverse effects and many are reluctant to report them because acknowledging the adverse reactions of the genetic injectables can constitute a career risk (why do you think that might be?). You will have noticed that no discussion of the adverse reactions is allowed on mainstream media (except to state, without citing evidence, that they are ‘rare’) – why do you think that might be?

            It is up to the regulatory authorities to demonstrate that these deaths (and serious adverse reactions) were not caused by the ‘vaccines’, which they have signally failed to do. Or even attempted to do.

            The number of collapsed athletes is now 748; 480 of these have died. In an average year, pre-‘vaccine’, about 7 or 8 deaths of this kind would be normal.

            Your explanation of this phenomenon would be what?

            Some other points you may wish to note:

            https://newspunch.com/editor-medical-journal-fraudulent/

      The other thing that is essential is Transparency. We need to support multiple groups like Wikileaks so that we have access to Facts from all sides. With the facts, we can triangulate the truth.

      Total global governmental and political transparency … coupled with personal privacy, My choices for these jobs of course would be Edward Snowden in charge of personal privacy, and Julian Assange as head of the department of transparency.

      Think of it – wars are about ‘leaders’ wanting more money, access to more resources, more power, more control. They conscript the proles either by deception or by force to give their lives for this. As of 2018, the US spent 40% of the total global military budget. Russia came in at 5%. Russia has vast lands and vast resources. It’s obvious to me that the criminal element currently in power here in the “USA” is lusting after that which Russia has.

    “Now consider this: What if it turns out that Russia can complete its Cleanup-in-Aisle-Four operation relatively quickly, with a minimized loss of life and damage to the everyday infrastructure of Ukraine, and arrange things there afterward so that Ukraine is not a menace to anyone, either Russia or the West? I sincerely believe this is their intention — just as I sincerely believe that their leadership is actually sane, and ours appears not to be. Perhaps Russia will even offer Ukraine (or its re-arranged regions) assistance in recovering from the foolishness it played along with to its own sorrow? What if Russia actually has no intention of starting World War Three? Will we keep trying to start it anyway?”

    Yes, I think the Russian military will complete its tasks fairly quickly in Ukraine. Remember, Ukraine is the size of Texas. The Russian forces are already starting what will be the encirclement of all of eastern in Ukraine, and it has only been 9 days!
    Don’t listen to the fools in the MSM who are trying to tell you this has been a tough invasion for Russia, or that 500 combat casualties have been heavy. That’s all bullshit. Compare and contrast the last time the then Red Army destroyed Germany’s Army Group South in 1944. It took many months and hundreds of thousands of deaths.

    Kiev and Kharkov are being encircled. It appears the southern bank, including Odessa, is next.

    All in 9 days! amazing.

    Kremlin spokesman Peskov has stated today:
    “Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is not aimed at dividing Ukraine as Russia just seeks to ensure its own security, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sky News Arabia.

    He pointed out that after the 2014 coup, Ukraine had fallen under the influence of Nazi ideas. “We want to see Ukraine demilitarized, we want to see Ukraine free of Nazi ideology,” Peskov noted. “Also we want to see that the neutral status of Ukraine is fixed in its Constitution and we want to have guarantees that weapons being able to change the security balance in Europe cannot be deployed” to Ukraine,” he added.”

    Which means to me is that Ukraine will become similar to Belarus. A client Russian state that both provides a buffer from the West, and support to Moscow, when called upon. This was a traditional role for Ukraine for centuries.

    Foreign Minister Lavrov has stated yesterday that:

    On nuclear war
    “It’s clear to everyone that World War III can only be a nuclear one. However, I would like to point out that thoughts of a nuclear war are circling in the heads of Western politicians but not in the heads of Russians.”

    It is the West and not Moscow that is talking about deploying and using nuclear weapons. Such statements have particularly been made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

    Russia does not seek “an escalation for the sake of an escalation” as conditions for the use of nuclear weapons are clarified in the national military doctrine (according to the document, Moscow reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if it faces an attack involving weapons of mass destruction or in case foreign aggression involving conventional arms jeopardizes “the very existence of the state” – TASS).

      Encircling… I’m of the opinion they do not want to destroy it. Encircling and then taking some time (not a lot of time) to let the populace figure out how to extricate themselves from the situation, is a plan.

      Setting up a defined objective meeting to end it with neutral government in place would be a good start. Dissolving groups such as the Azov Battalion would remove the Nazi faction. Some of those people will cling to their beliefs. It might take a few generations for them to rise again to some level of impact.

    • Blackbird March 4, 2022 at 10:37 pm #

      If I understand Putin, Lavrov, and others correctly, Russia does not want “Ukraine” as a client state, but as a neutral buffer. Of course we will never admit that – or allow it.

        Is EU membership synonymous with NATO membership? Is it a package deal? Let Ukraine join the EU and demand they can’t Join NATO but can have a large military with western weapons outside of nuclear strategic missiles. I can’t and won’t watch the god forsaken MSM, so I don’t have the answers. If Zelensky won’t go for this and/or Putin can’t get him or the West to consider this, then Russia will be dragged into a long-haul conflict I don’t believe his regime can survive.

        • Paula D March 6, 2022 at 12:59 pm #

          No, EU and NATO membership are different.
          No, Ukraine cannot be armed to the teeth by the west.
          Putin has been trying for 8 years to get the West to listen.
          Russia’s last attempt was the peace treaty they proposed last December.
          They told the US and NATO that if they didn’t respond, then Russia was going to do something. I thought it might be liberating Syria, but it turned out to be demilitarizing and denazifying Ukraine.
          Here is coverage of the treaty the West rejected.

            Historically, NATO membership for countries of the former Soviet Bloc has preceded membership in the EU and has been explicitly planned that way. Membership in NATO means that the country’s military and sourcing of military materiel has to be synced up with NATO. That means a lot footsy playing by uS embaassies in those countries with the local PTB and arranging lucrative contracts for American MIC suppliers, such. Plus then holding training and indoctrination exercises for the newly recruited military, also to meet “colleagues” in other NATO countries, especially the other newbies, learn the codes of various types (both technical and social), etc. etc. It takes about seven years. Then the country can be “upgraded” to EU membership, with, again, a lot of behind-the=scenes tangos to get the “invitations” coming.

            Examples:
            Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Baltics.

            It is a major job of the US ambassador to one of these countries to coordinate all of this with frequent flights back to DC to meet with weapons suppliers and invitations for them to come for a visit to the country targeted for NATO membership. I expect that the Kremlin had plenty of intel on how this process was progressing in Kiev..

    Out of fashion to say the least, naive to many, and idealistic/preposterous to others, the “founders” concept of American isolationism from the politics and wars of the papacy, crowns, and their enablers is not as self-serving as the revisionist historians (Zinn, etc.) would have you believe.

    They had good reason. It echoes on and on. And if not their warnings, the dangers, and the dangers, and the external dangers.

    Nobody listens.

      I doubt this general broad statement – no War historian would make it.

      • Blackbird March 4, 2022 at 10:32 pm #

        A historian might not make that statement, but a geneticist might.

        I remember a big controversy about 6 years ago over the interpretation of data showing genetic change in European populations over several thousand years. The change typically manifested as a decline in one Y-chromosome haplotype and its replacement by another, while mitochondrial DNA remains unchanged. How would you interpret that?

        One side of the argument sees female hunter-gatherers twerking in bear skins and waving signs saying (phonetically of course): “Welcome Anatolian Agriculturalists!”

        The other side sees male farmers leanin’ on their hoes, checkin’ out Raquel Welch bein’ hugged by Easter Bunnies and saying, “We gonna get us somma dem wild bitches!”

    • Jarek March 4, 2022 at 9:49 pm #

      Yes, Russian soldiers were ordered to rape German women to “break their racial pride” – an order that they obeyed with abandon.

      The Guardian:

      Estimates of rape victims from the city’s two main hospitals ranged from 95,000 to 130,000. One doctor deduced that out of approximately 100,000 women raped in the city, some 10,000 died as a result, mostly from suicide. The death rate was thought to have been much higher among the 1.4 million estimated victims in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia. Altogether at least two million German women are thought to have been raped, and a substantial minority, if not a majority, appear to have suffered multiple rape.

      If anyone attempted to defend a woman against a Soviet attacker it was either a father trying to defend a daughter or a young son trying to protect his mother. “The 13-year old Dieter Sahl,” neighbours wrote in a letter shortly after the event, “threw himself with flailing fists at a Russian who was raping his mother in front of him. He did not succeed in anything except getting himself shot.”

      After the second stage of women offering themselves to one soldier to save themselves from others, came the post-battle need to survive starvation. Susan Brownmiller noted “the murky line that divides wartime rape from wartime prostitution”. Soon after the surrender in Berlin, Ursula von Kardorff found all sorts of women prostituting themselves for food or the alternative currency of cigarettes. Helke Sander, a German film-maker who researched the subject in great detail, wrote of “the grey area of direct force, blackmail, calculation and real affection”.

      The fourth stage was a strange form of cohabitation in which Red Army officers settled in with German “occupation wives”. The Soviet authorities were appalled and enraged when a number of Red Army officers, intent on staying with their German lovers, deserted when it was time to return to the Motherland.

      Even if the feminist definition of rape purely as an act of violence proves to be simplistic, there is no justification for male complacency. If anything, the events of 1945 reveal how thin the veneer of civilisation can be when there is little fear of retribution. It also suggests a much darker side to male sexuality than we might care to admit.

          From another pov, would you care if it was true? No. Your motive is just to protect the memory of the Soviet Union, a historical relic you were passionately attacked to – and still are it seems.

            This is the epitome of war hysteria. The attack on Russia started somewhere around 2007 and has ramped up to feverish and ludicrous heights at this point.
            Remember that Obama signed a law making propagandizing Americans by the government legal. Then he signed a law funding such propaganda.
            But this “scholar” just happened to write a book rewriting history 70 years later, just in time for a renewed propaganda push against Russia? And yes, the Guardian is one of the standard bearers of the propaganda of Empire.

          Tucker is not in this category. He apologized (quite profusely) for his positions during Shrub’s crime spree, and he has done some very strong work since then. He’s also hooked up with Alex Jones and Joe Rogan a few times, which is not something one does when one is concerned about being cancelled.

          Fox plays both sides of the binary, because they exist entirely to make money. Tucker, like Rogan, is not perfect, but they are using big system bux to spread a message that is important.

          Not everyone in life has an angle, so to speak (though this idea seems rampant among Americans), and I think, given what we are facing, it pays to work with everyone who is putting something on the line to stop this criminal global project.

    Some believe they can put an end to The Everlasting Change (the conservatives); some believe they can rule over The Everlasting Change (the progressives).

    They thrive on delusion; they were made to wallow in delusion.

    Everything is essential while it lasts; nothing remains indispensable once it’s gone.

    Too many will spend a lifetime aloof from themselves.
    Too many won’t get rid of the burden of themselves until their last breath.

      Things change but change back again – like the seasons and other cycles. There may well be longer cycles and also changes that don’t cycle back to what things were before. So be it. But if any would change us by force, this is another thing entirely. Bad men forced their way into the Shire led by the downfallen Saruman. The hobbits killed them.

      The Shire was only for hobbits. In Bree, men and hobbits lived together in peace. That was their way. The Shire had its own.

    Interesting article:

    Foreign Affairs | The Coming Ukrainian Insurgency

    https://tinyurl.com/yp6urm7s

    It appears that the foreign legion currently being recruited in Poland is for the upcoming insurgency against the next-in-line neutral, or Russia-friendly, or for that matter, US-friendly, government of the polity identifying as “Ukraine”. More color revolutions on the horizon for Belarus and Kazakhstan too. And terrorist attacks in Russia “hitting targets with the greatest military value and psychological impact”. Turning the Ukraine – and Belarus too, if we are lucky! – into a blond, blue-eyed Syria.

    I’m sure Putin understood this long before Foreign Affairs shared it with the rest of us. So, how does he avoid this situation, or deal with it if it can’t be avoided? Turn off the gas? A much more sensible move than lobbing nukes or launching a blitzkrieg across Europe – both of which we are promised await us if we continue to appease the new and improved, Commu-Nazi Hybrid Hitler. A death grip without touching the opponent. Seems like that is what we are trying to force. Blame the coming economic collapse – the one necessary to install the digital currency part of your digital ID, and take away all your stuff – on Russia. High oil and gas prices – plus the long-awaited “Russians hacked the grid!”.

    Caught it on Last American Vagabond – I wish he’d provide transcripts – a four and a half hour video? C’mon dude, if I’m gonna spend that much time with you, at least bring a six-pack. Really chews through my “unlimited” data. Luckily this article came up in the first hour. Got a Foreign Affairs feed on my homepage now. They enable my addiction to prediction.

    • Islander March 5, 2022 at 7:59 am #

      If all of these “freedom fighter” insurgents have smart phones, and they probably do, I should think it wouldn’t be too hard for Russia to identify them and pinpoint them and take them out with drones.

      The notion of these basically terrorist guerrilla brigades is sick-making.

      Maybe they think they are the inheriting the legacy of patriots in the American Revolution, or the Lincoln Brigades.
      They are probably young testosterone factories led by a few cynical older mercenaries.

      Where are the recruiters going to recruit these fellows? They really need decent work, but I guess there aren’t any jobs, so they can’t settle down and get married.

      They are probably champing at the bit to get some “action” and “real life” after being cooped up for two years.

    • JohnAZ March 5, 2022 at 11:07 am #

      No, blame it on the Biden administration and possibly the Trump and Obama administrations for allowing Europe to become dependent on Russia for oil and gas. A documentary I watched shows the construction of gas pipelines from Russia to Germany et al in Europe. Russia has tried to bypass Ukraine’s bottleneck for two decades, going under the Black and Baltic Seas. Blame all the latest unrest on Biden as his stupid AGW work has limited the supply of LNG to Europe, the US alternative to Russian supply. The world is going to pay for all this stupidity. Less supply, higher prices, Russia is becoming a sole source for parts of Europe and a necessary supply to us.

      Now add on the fact the China is diverting Middle East oil to themselves and has offered to buy the additional supply caused by the embargoes. The press and Congress is trying real hard to get Biden to embargo Russian oil imports, but for once he is using his head to say no.

      Just one element of the Stratego game going on for Ukraine, who is right at the center of all the oil gas chess game. NATO is going to lose bigtime on their bluff being called by Russia.

      • Blackbird March 5, 2022 at 1:42 pm #

        “No, blame it on the Biden administration and possibly the Trump and Obama administrations for allowing Europe to become dependent on Russia for oil and gas.”

        JAZ, maybe “blame” is inappropriate here? Think about it this way:

        “Why shouldn’t Europe buy gas and oil from their neighbor Russia, rather than far away – and frankly, bat-shit crazy – sources? Why not build economic bonds that might serve to foster peace and cooperation, rather than engage in international brinksmanship with the end goal of weakening everyone involved?” Europe is gonna depend on somebody, ’cause God just didn’t see fit to bless these snow-shovelin’ cheese-eatin’ bastards with enough oily goodness to immolate themselves.

        Yeah, we are playing Stratego, while Russia is playing chess.

      • Paula D March 5, 2022 at 2:03 pm #

        Your American entitlement is showing there, JAZ.
        “Allowing Europe”?
        “China is diverting oil”?
        Think about the underlying attitude that shapes those kind of statements. You apparently believe that the USA should have the right to tell everyone else in the world what they can and cannot have, or buy, or who they can do business with.
        You apparently think that only Americans are entitled to comfortable lives.
        That is some arrogant shit, right there. I know that it is prevalent among the congress critters and the media, but maybe think about it before adopting it for your own moral compass.

    So that means if all the blk people in the U.S move to a single state, we could declare a republic, change the name of the state and open up embassies in China, Russia…

    right?

      Just one state? If that’s your starting bid, watch whitey whittle you down to one or two broke-dick counties. Aim higher! At least 13% of the landmass of the US. Take the whole strip from Mississippi to Georgia, hell, take South Carolina too – but leave us the coasts, ok? We all know black folks don’t boat, swim, dive – except for those unfortunates on their way to this country.

      • JohnAZ March 5, 2022 at 10:51 am #

        Looked at a demographics map. The south from SC to Louisiana and up to Tennessee is dominated by Blacks, From Texas west is dominated by Hispanics. Areas of the West Coast especially Seattle and San Francisco is dominated by Asians. The rest is dominated by Whites except for the cities. The cities are a hodge podge but mostly minority mixes.

        Balkanization of the US could be relatively easy per ethnic group, maybe? Move some folks around from city to city.

      @THWACK

      Please do we saw how well Liberia worked out.
      “Liberia ultimately failed because the United States government refused to pledge adequate monetary support as well as defenses for the settlers, coupled with the freed Slaves unwillingness to go back to Africa once being freed.”

      How about Liberia that is what it was setup for.
      This of course would NEVER happen since a sizeable subset of the people in question would still be waiting for their EBT payments and they would actually have to work or starve and freeze.

      • JohnAZ March 5, 2022 at 10:44 am #

        I wonder if the slave traders closed in on Liberia due to the lack of support and just brought them back?

      • BackRowHeckler March 5, 2022 at 1:31 pm #

        Haha, American black emigrants to Liberia set up plantations and enlisted native Africans as slave labor. It lasted a long time, 100 years. American blacks were appalled by the Africans, specially infanticide and cannibalism.

        The elite in Liberia were largely 50% white. The lighter your skin, the higher up on the social order you were.

        Liberia makes for an interesting study.

    If the U.S can hand out tow missiles and stingers to Ukrainian “fighters”; whats to stop Russia from handing out the same weapons to Mexican “fighters?”

    or even Black Lives Matter?

    Personally I suspect its fake nooz because Ukraine is so corrupt the Ukrainians would just sell these weapons to Mexican drug cartels, various militias around the world… and I think the U.S knows this?

    BTW, 24 African countries refused to vote with the U.S to condemn Russia in the United Nations. Basically it was 23 abstentions and Eritrea voting against.

    Based Africans supporting ethnically based nations; who da thunk?

    I don’t have any money, but if I did I’d bet it all on Russia, because this is a race war; not between Russians and Ukrainians, but between Anglo Saxons and Slavs.

    I suspect the Russians learned a long time ago that in a race war there are no “civilians.”

    Russia is one of the few places the British Anglo Saxon vampires have never really been able to sink their teeth into.

    Putin speaks and acts like 100 years from now Russia and people who speak, look and act like Russians will still exist?

    Meanwhile The West acts like all that matters is gold chains, drumbeats and pussy.

      Thwack, there was the Muscovy Trading Company, established in London in 1555, lasting until 1917. Actually it still exists as a charity based in Moscow.

      Ships would take the northern route to Russia under Elizabethan sea dogs like Martin Frobisher and Francis Hawkinsm, carrying wool mostly. The Muscovy Trading Company was the first publicly traded corporation and served as a model for capitalist money raising structures that came after that allowed England to colonize the world.

    You should really read more about Ukraine, there were no CIA puppet bullshit. To the contrary Ukrainians threw out Putin’s corrupted puppet who could not care less about Ukrainians.

    Ukraine pre-2014 was just a smaller version of Russia with oligarchs ruling over the citizens. That is why he panicked and invaded parts of eastern Ukraine. He did not want the revolution to spread into Russia and threaten his rule.

    Every single ex-Soviet European side country wanted to get into NATO because they knew the Bear is just temporarily catching his breath. Just gathering strength, acting all nicely but will start acting all bullying murderous conquering asshole as usual in some point of future. And that point arrived last week!

    You see, a lot of Russians really believe they are the 3rd Rome and everybody else is against them and they must have “buffer” states around them against the Danger! The Western Danger! Vassal states serving the Russia proper like good little slaves.

    If Ukraine wants to join NATO, WTF it has to do with Russia? They are a sovereign nation. Or otherwise, you accept Russia should have puppet states around…

          It takes an investment in energy and time to get inside other people’s heads, a task which most people are not willing or conditioned to do, even if they had the time (perhaps justification for a minimum age for those who govern us).

          I have in mind,that Brit Hume in an interview last week with Tucker Carlson, suggested that the US could do significant covert operations against Russia in Ukraine, and because it would be done in such a fashion that no one would ever be able to prove it, it would not be a violation of an existing treaty nor an act of war. For this reason, most facts get filed in my [unknown / yet to be determined] bank of file cabinets.

          How many politicians have contemplated, or would even give consideration for the following information?

          Perhaps the correct way to put it would be: Was Armstrong ever a member of the Council on Foreign Relations?

          “I have stated clearly that I use to fly around and meet the people who wanted to run for president. It was a process where I would actually be assessing if they could handle the job. I was then asked to fly to Texas to meet Bush Jr. but was told this was “different” because he was “stupid,” which totally shocked me. When I asked why they would make someone “stupid” president, they said he had the name. I was then asked if I would take the role of Chief Economic Adviser in the White House, and I declined.” – Armstrong

          What I would like to know is, who hired him to do this, and why did they select him (what were his qualifications)?

    So get ready for the onslaught, as if you weren’t pummelled enough during Black History Month. And Pride Month is right around the corner.

    We have a case of high strangeness in one of our smaller cities. The Superintendent of Schools, a black guy, resigned abruptly from his job. (most Superintendent of Schools seem to be black, hispanic or Muslim now, even in all white districts; Whites need not apply) Late last fall the Super reported he was receiving hate mail. Of course the sh#t hit the fan. “This is not who we are.” The new (just formed) ‘Hate Crime Commission’ got involved, police were notified! The actual letters (packets) were produced and entered as evidence. Then nothing was heard for a long time, until this week, when Dr. _____ resigned. Yes, it turns out this Super, who nobody had any problem with, most likely wrote the letters himself. One wonders why, why would he torpedo himself and jeopardize a job that pays almost $250,000 per year. Its uncanny.

    For example, the EU demanded that all Russian leases on Airbus jets—over 500 of them—be cancelled. It also blocked the sale of Airbus parts to Russia and forbade Russian planes from being serviced. It also closed its airspace to Russian planes and Russia closed its airspace to EU planes in response. The EU also blocked the SWIFT payment system. This means the following things:

    • The European leasing companies will have to pay Russia huge fines for canceling the leases but can’t because SWIFT isn’t working.

    • The European leasing companies have to get their planes out of Russian territory but can’t because their flight crews can’t get into Russia and once they take possession of the planes the planes won’t be allowed to take off (airspace is closed).

    • The planes can no longer be serviced according to the maintenance schedule, which means that in a couple of months they won’t be able to fly at all.

    • Given that this is a force majeur circumstance, the Russian government can very easily nationalize these planes, including all of the intellectual property and patent rights contained therein, and start making their own parts and providing their own service.

    • Given all of the above, the obvious choice for the European leasing companies to declare bankruptcy and cease operations. Company representatives have said as much.

      The brilliance of it all is staggering.

      Seems to me that sanctions that actually hurt the “sanctionor” more than the “sanctionee” can only lead to the further fomentation of war, as opposed to being a deterrent.

      They’re trying to make everything worse for all of us normies, per usual. Just with a new levl of blatant counterintuitive stupidity.

      • Disaffected March 5, 2022 at 11:06 am #

        Almost like they’re trying to increase the pain on the western populace in order to garner support for a larger war. Almost. Trouble is, absent the nukes anyway, the US and NATO are really not capable of waging war on a peer state anymore, never mind Russia. Insurgencies and proxy wars have gradually become the only play in their playbooks. Raping their own militaries via wide spread, open corruption was just too damn lucrative to resist.

          If it ever became a pan Europe war, it would be over before it started. Russia has the upper hand with almost everything thanks to our really dumb government and its link with the NWO. Russia controls FF in Europe and has some input here. Russia has the backup of China with FF also, a ready made market. They have enough computer system manipulation capability to close down Europe and maybe us too. They now have control of two of the biggest nuke plants in Europe. They are going to laugh at the sanctions as they control the oil and gas situation. the sanctions are going to cripple us.

          One thought. Us maybe the NWO. The NWO is a worse situation than Russia? I wonder how many folks would agree with this?

          I will tell you one thing. If the US and NATO was my investment company, I would fire them.

        • Jarek March 5, 2022 at 11:49 am #

          Yes, they rule us but really want to destroy us. To ease the tension between those options, they torment and corrupt us. But that may have been irrational on their part since now we may be too weak to serve them.

          Wouldn’t conquering the world and then wiping us have been more rational? They could have had their fun then, as part of the process.

          • Disaffected March 5, 2022 at 12:16 pm #

            I think that once upon a time they foolishly imagined that all this economic strangulation and color revolution nonsense was gonna win the day all by themselves, but they’ve consistently underestimated their adversaries. Could also be that Trump threw just enough sand in the gears during his four years to allow Russia, China, and others to get their shit together in preparation for what’s unfolding now. If nothing else, he threw light on the fact that the US didn’t really have a coherent policy on pretty much anything, and the fact that as Putin has noted so well, the idiots in DC are simply not agreement capable, and so diplomacy is absolutely pointless.

          • Jarek March 5, 2022 at 12:48 pm #

            I bet that color revolution we tried in Hong Kong really, really burned the Chinese – as in burning our bridges with them on a deep level. Trade goes on but they don’t trust us for a second and cemented their ties with Russia.

      • JohnAZ March 5, 2022 at 11:24 am #

        Argument can be made that the source of all of this is the US Deep State and its subservience to the NWO. It really shows how much the government is against the people of America.

            Funny you mention the Straussians. I first encountered the term via a link in the comments section of….hmm. It was either The Saker or Moon of Alabama. I saved the link to the story at Europe Reloaded. Quite a history of who and what they are. Also, an explanation of who might be included in the “drug gangs” Putin referenced.

            “Jake” Sullivan and Antony Blinken put Vice President Biden’s son, Hunter, on the board of a major gas company, Burisma Holdings, despite opposition from Secretary of State John Kerry. Hunter Biden is unfortunately only a junkie, he will serve as a screen for a gigantic scam at the expense of the Ukrainian people. He will appoint, under the supervision of Amos Hochstein, several of his stoned friends to become other straw men at the head of various companies and plunder Ukrainian gas. These are the people that President Vladimir Putin called the “drug gang”.”

        MrMango

        My impression is that many of the elite in the financial/banking industry, as well as the Federal Reserve, warned the US government and the EU that imposing “tougher than Iran” sanctions on a G10 country, one with a lot of trade, would cause big problems.

        So, the government knew. The elite/Davos/WEF/NWO/Trilateralists/whatever you wish to call them are interested in dominating everyone. These psychopaths not only do NOT CARE what happens to the Western public, or Western Civ, but they welcome the chaos because it represents an opportunity to effect changes that will further their power at our expense.

        It’s the same rationale for the COVID plandemic, and the toxic shots.

        People in high places are not that stupid. Even our elected king and crown princess are not that totally stupid… probably. But those who tell them what to do definitely are NOT stupid.

        • Socrates-Detroit March 5, 2022 at 3:51 pm #

          So yes, the “sanctioner” will suffer more than the “sanctionee”–in total terms and relative terms.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 5, 2022 at 4:04 pm #

          People in high places are not that stupid. Even our elected king and crown princess are not that totally stupid… probably.

          Oh, completely agree. Wasn’t referring to those pulling the strings as stupid. But that what they are doing with this new crisis narrative has a new level of blatant counterintuitive stupidity. (Perhaps I should have followed that statement with “…most likely intentionally”).

          Whether it should even be possible after the whole covid roller coaster of people believing up was down (and then vice versa when told so)…this one will perhaps be on a level that more people ought to see through, yet for some reason nearly everyone I’ve been in touch with in the last week has in some way had to to say whatever they heard on TV and then want me to condemn the right people or places along with them.

          They are immediately buying every morsel of counterintuitive stupidity as truth…handed down to them by those with plenty to gain who (mostly) know what they are doing.

        But yes, what a lovely thing to have piano available for people to play in public spaces. But of course the kids won’t allow it. They don’t allow us to have nice things. This one must be well guarded.

          Pretty harsh there, Jar. Yes, I was hoping he’d throw in a change of pace variation or two similar to Hendrix’s Villanova Junction Woodstock solo after bringing down the house with Purple Haze, but it was not to be. I doubt the song he was doing allowed for that, and I doubt the audience would have appreciated it anyway.

    Tucker last night:

    The teammates of Lia Thomas don’t want “her” there but were told if they complained they would be thrown off the team AND NEVER BE ABLE TO WORK. Free country? Free world? What a joke. Go bang your head against the iron curtain.

    We know because they (or at least some of them) sent an anonymous letter via an attorney.

    Lia was rated 450 something – not sure if that is the world or just the American university system. Needless to say now “she” is number one and breaking records every week or so.

Former boyfriend of Daughter, cut his whanger off, grew his hair, and now claims he is a she and, is taking “a walk on the wild side”. Husband of Daughter – she cut his whanger off (metaphorically) and now detests him for being a pussy.

          I feel for tranny widows. They usually suffer a helluva lot of emotional abuse well before their hubs decide they are ladies. I heard the testimony of one once on Graham Linehan’s YouTube channel. Wow, harrowing. And of course if the widow criticizes the crazy hubs, then they are a bigot TERF. Which shuts them up real good.

          So yeah, I’m very glad to see the average person starting to get enraged at the encroachment on womens’ sport, because they wouldn’t when kids were being mutilated or gaslit. It took sports to make them care.

        The most interesting thing about all of the woke rule-changes implemented to help these poor minorities, is that they have disadvantaged women greatly in many areas.

        And women were previously one of the disadvantaged groups they used to claim they were fighting for.

        One of my favorite sports pics from clown world is this one where the tranny wrestler is angrily choking the fuck out of a cute, petite female wrestler. Once can really soak up both the physical pain as well as the fear and humiliation she is feeling.

            I am still not even sure I believe in the mass formation condition that Desmet describes. At some point, one must engage in actual thinking, and this would allow them to pull themselves out. I really think intelligence is more of a factor.

          • Anthea March 6, 2022 at 9:00 am #

            @ Night Owl:

            I agree, in that I think that calling the various forms of nonsense, which the “mass man” falls for en masse, “mass formation” is rather more easily explained: People are stupid; they more or less automatically believe what they’re told to believe; they are particularly inclined to believe what the TV tells them to believe; “thinking” is an unfamiliar activity that they have been discouraged from doing their whole lives.

            There is no need for Baroque explanations for this. People who are a little more astute crave these elaborate (or simply glib) explanations because we have trouble believing that there are THAT many people who are really, really stupid. We think that people would not fall for this type of thing, absent some sort of mass hypnosis or mass psychosis. Nope. Most people have the brains of a goldfish.

            There are, I think, equally simple and straightforward ways of understanding things like “the fourth turnings.” This one falls under the heading of what Nock called “Epstean’s Law,” which is, ““Man tends to satisfy his needs and desires with the least possible exertion. Not, it must be understood, that he always does so satisfy them, for other considerations principle, convention, fear, superstition or what not may supervene; but he always tends to satisfy them with the least possible exertion, and, in the absence of a stronger motive, will always do so.”

            The easiest way to satisfy one’s needs and desires is to steal stuff from someone else. Civilizations are born and progress where this motive is suppressed by the Rule of Law; they begin to die when this motive re-asserts itself–which it is bound to do.

          • Jarek March 6, 2022 at 12:40 pm #

            Quite so. Before one can or should seek to know the extraordinary, they should seek to know the ordinary. What is the nature of the average person? College material in the old and real sense? Of course not. They don’t like to think even if they can. Thinking is something one does for one’s job, or when making an expensive purchase, or perhaps for one’s hobby.

            But to gain an understanding of the world? That’s weirdo stuff. And sadly, people can be Very smart in the raw IQ sense and still be like this.

            Also we live in a very specialized way. Each person knows their little corner of the world and we have to trust each other to function. This encourages passivity, even in otherwise healthy, curious people. And of course Medicine has (had) prestige, another factor inducing passive acceptance.

        Ms StarLight, my acquaintances among the manatees are concerned that you may be speaking unkindly about them – despite the fact that I have tried to assure them that you are not. I’m sure you know how insecure they are…

        “maybe the team should quit”…

        Maybe they should, but I’m sure you know how hard it is for the young to give up something they have worked their whole lives toward – that is, those few among today’s young that have that kind of discipline.

          Lol never! I love the manatees! Sure of course but then what solution do you propose? As near as I can tell given the current status quo the solution is “suck it up buttercup”? Clearly the swimmers have no say, the parents have no say and the school is cool with it, the NCAA is in full support, so the institutional media complex is against any members of the team who disagree by default or anyone else for that matter.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 5, 2022 at 5:18 pm #

            They all quit and then sue either the school or the NCAA (or both) if they bar them from competing elsewhere.

            That would take some teamwork, though. And probably a year or two of precious competing years tied up in court.

            The NCAA knows they have their balls in a vise grip on this one (err, so to speak). Sad.

            That’s what I was thinking, but I don’t know the law well enough to know if they have a winnable case. Certainly if what they say is accurate, it was an incredible threat use against their own students. “You will never be able to work” – this should be grounds for a lawsuit. But I assume it was only verbal. Is that enough?

          • SoftStarLight March 6, 2022 at 4:51 am #

            I’m not sure either but giving such a threat seems to constitute a form of viewpont discrimination or moral blackmail. I also wonder if any of the girls could simply enroll in another school and join a dfferent team altogether. That could be done without really saying anything.

            One of the things I’ve consistently observed throughout my life is that a person who is individualistic, a critical thinker, or who holds “unauthorized” viewpoints or beliefs WILL be discriminated against, even if they never say a word. People will sniff you out. They can smell an “unbeliever” a mile away.

            One of my daughters was like that (as I am). I told her that there’s no use trying to hide this. It’s like trying to hide being gay. People KNOW. Best to be open about who you are, though it may mean you won’t be able to keep a job at an insurance company.

        This is what I call serendipity, and then some.

        Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline by executive order on his first day in office. Serendipity? The day Putin launched his invasion into Ukraine, TC Energy, developer of Keystone, wrapped up the project by laying off the last of its 10,000 employees. Keystone would have transported 840,000 barrels per day to refineries in the US.

        Nice timing, Sleepy Joe.

        “To Keystone workers, I promise you new, better, highly paid, unionized Green Jobs”.-Sleepy Joe.

        Shutting down Line 5, which brings in 540,000 barrels per day thru Michigan, was marked for closure too, but that’s been put on hold. For now.

But yes, it is no coincidence that ole Joe is shuttin off the lights. And all those wind turbines require rare earth minerals mostly from China.

          I have noticed absolutely nothing from the government or private industry showing any appreciable progress by alternative energy sources taking market share from fossil fuels. Quite the alternative, more energy more fossil fuels being burned.

          It is a conundrum too. If we do not find a legitimate alternative for FF, what happens when Peak oil hits later in the century.

    I think our government isn’t insane. I think it is just plain stupid. If I were a kinder, more gentle person I’d call it “unaware”, but since I’m not, I’ll call it dumb, idiotic, moronic, imbecilic, ignorant, dishonest, sociopathic, murderous, elitist, sneaky and power-hungry. Feel free to add any more descriptors.

    The feds could have achieved their own goals wrt Russia by playing their cards right and acting patiently. But, no, they are too arrogant.

    I have a little bit of feeling toward Russia because my father was born there. I’m American through and through, though. Unlike most of my relatives, friends, neighbors and associates, I’m much more cognizant of what’s really happening in the world, and know all governments are shit. I find it highly ironic and frustrating that people apparently need to be governed, but at the same time are wired with traits that make it nearly impossible to have good governance.

    Mr. Kunstler,

    Tommy Smothers once said, “You can talk all you want about freedom of speech, but it’s freedom of hearing that counts.”

    “Let’s Go Brandon!” is, yet again, trying his damnedest to screw our country and a couple of his cohorts, U.S. Senators Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), have introduced a bill to silence free speech in order to silence “misinformation”. So, if your not exactly in an “up” feeling, skies are gray, the cold political wind has a bite, then get a warm cup of joe and just take a look at James Kunstler’s Blog where he shines a light into the inky blackness of todays American politics; brightening up your day with an uplifting, cutting wit and incisive insight. After reading this blog…my coffee cup’s empty and my day is better now.

    WAR. War is everywhere and God is nowhere. Ha! Maybe He’s hiding in the firmament’s fallout shelter! All religion is fakery, quackery to quiet the mind, but the mind only quakes with questions and contradictions. Tell me we aren’t descended from the apes. Spirituality, not religion, is the answer.

    Yes, this war is not primarily about religion, but about man-apes fighting in the jungles of civilization for the power of plutocracy. Nietzsche is dead. So is God, but not the spirit, a spirit that must be nurtured.

    Omnipresent ‘God’ is riding with the nukes of nihilism, ready to be blown to smithereens, ready to die again.

Around then, under its You Tube comment section, I seem to recall mentioning the idea of ‘adaptive reuse/reinterpretation’ of the song for our current times and some years later (2021), that’s what they appear to have done with that song as per their one of only 2 videos (that I can see) of that album (Symmetry).
            Not only that, though, but the style and contents of the video appears like it’s from the same creative outfit as the Killing Joke one. Re-adaptive video outsourcing.

      Russians are good chess players. They plan several moves ahead. I’m sure they anticipated the sanctions.

      They did the right thing for their country. I have not quarrel with them. I have no quarrel with Iraqis or Syrians or Libyans either.

    During WW2 did any people in the West freak out about about working with the Godless, communist, kinda not really white Russians against Christian white Germans?

    I never considered how weird that was, but when Germany AND the Soviet Union invaded Poland; how come the allies only declared war on the Germans?

    Was this some kind of 3 dimensional head fake?

    BTW, I suspect the 40 mile column of tanks and mechanized infants STALLED 10 miles north of Kiev is a head fake.

    • BackRowHeckler March 6, 2022 at 1:56 am #

      That’s a good question. In 1939 the Soviet Union invaded not only Poland, but Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia as well. How come the allies declared war only on the Germans? Well, in 1939 the UK did consider sending troops to assist Finland but nothing came of it. I think the answer is that Britain and France had signed treaties and had obligations after WW1 to assist Poland against German aggression, but not against Russian aggression. That’s it.

      • Socrates-Detroit March 6, 2022 at 10:53 pm #

        Pat Buchanan wrote an excellent book called “The Unnecessary War” years ago, about how WW2 might have been avoided.

        I’m not a Germanophile (though I used to like German cars, when the had the proper German attributes). Buchanan is not.

        That said, the Germans go a very unfair deal at the end of WW1.

        Even so, Germany regained it’s footing.

        The Germans had legitimate grievances. They wanted access to Konigsberg and East Prussia. The Polish government, led by a dictator, refused to negotiate seriously with the Germans. After all, he had a treaty with Britain and France. Take that, Germany!

        So Hitler secretly agreed with Stalin to divide Poland amongst themselves. And then Hitler attacked the Poles, destroyed their military, and Stalin attacked from the rear.

        If you are interested, read Pat’s book. It is NOT politically correct, but it is extensively footnoted and appears to be FACTUALLY correct.

    “My unorthodox thesis can be summarized in one sentence: Excising war from our historical horizon has led to the disappearance of virility from Western European societies.”

    Dominique Venner

    Jarek: I agree. Even Tucker has been forced to repeat the mantra about how wrong and terrible the Russian invasion is. Utter rubbish. What Putin is doing is the surgery that may save Ukraine from the Western cancer. Such just War can be immensely creative and Life positive.

    And as Venner says, the rejection of vicious pacifism will be a great healing for men. Look at the videos of the Chechens waiting in the forest for the word from Putin. They are healthy and joyful, eager to enter the fray. They have no qualms about war and killing. They are whole, albeit primitive. They are the Sardaukar, Emperor Putin’s terror troops, hopefully only to be used as a last resort. I’m not saying Western Man should go back to this, or our version of this, say the Vikings. But we have to go back to some civilized version of it – or remain devitalized and conflicted.

    Violence solves nothing, we’ve been taught, but that’s a lie. It can solve many things, but only if employed wisely. But obviously the price is very real and it shouldn’t be done lightly.

      ‘However, Venner sees what Clark would call the “barbarians” as an invigorating force. Christianity was a product of the late Roman Empire’s decadence.’

      Didn’t Christianity begin in the first century and Rome’s ‘decay’ really begin with the division of the Empire into East and West in the late 3rd century, finally falling in 476?

      It’s an interesting article but it climbs too high up in the ‘ivory tower’ when it comes to raw violence. For example, were the actions of BLM or Antifa concerned with Hyperboreans, Greek temples, Charles Martel and the Muslims, Notre Dame, or the pre-Christian era? All they needed was the symbolic figure of George Floyd, hate and anger.

      “Excising war from our historical horizon has led to the disappearance of virility from Western European societies.”

      Has war really been excised from our ‘historical horizon’? Does he mean that, say, not remembering Vietnam for France or WWII for Britain and Germany, not keeping that militancy in mind, has led to the overwhelming invasion of immigrants and an ever-increasing degree of wokeness?

      I think that the embrace of globalism is more the problem than any ‘excising of war from the horizon’ is.

      Anyway, it’s a perfect time for Robinson Jeffers:

      The Bloody Sire

      It is not bad. Let them play.
      Let the guns bark and the bombing-plane
      Speak his prodigious blasphemies.
      It is not bad, it is high time,
      Stark violence is still the sire of all the world’s values.

      What but the wolf’s tooth whittled so fine
      The fleet limbs of the antelope?
      What but fear winged the birds, and hunger
      Jewelled with such eyes the great goshawk’s head?
      Violence has been the sire of all the world’s values.

      Who would remember Helen’s face
      Lacking the terrible halo of spears?
      Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar,
      The cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?
      Violence, the bloody sire of all the world’s values.

      Never weep, let them play,
      Old violence is not too old to beget new values.

        The Constantinople army seized Rome in the 530s, bringing the Eternal City back into the empire. Then, almost as if God himself intervened, ‘Years without a summer’ arrived 535-536, plunging the world into darkness, cold and famine; the beginning of the Dark Ages. Bubonic plague arrived too, for the first, but not the last time. It was the end of the world.

      To be for is also to be against. BLM and antifa are against the White man and his civilization and seek to teak it down. George Floyd is the Son, an incarnation of Blackness for BLM, or Chaos for the nihilist faction, or the Primitive for another kind of antifa. He watches as they tear down the evil temples of Western Man. Other incarnations and saints: St Ahmaud of Arberry, Baby Tray, St Breyona of Taylor, etc.

    Last week my wife and I went to see a skin doctor to see if there are any signs of cancer. My wife says my back looks like the surface of the moon but it checked out OK. However, the doc (female Korean named Choi) took a biopsy from a little spot a half inch from the outside corner of my left eye.

    Got a call yesterday from Keyla (pronounced Kay la, for unknown reasons) at the doc’s office. The Biop was positive so she referred me to another doc who will do “Mohs” surgery…very minor since the spot is tiny.

    So Keyla gave me the phone number to call at Dermatology and said my call would be answered by one of three girls whose names she rattled off but I had to ask for the spelling: Tiahna, Xiomara and Karen (whew, Karen, finally a name I recognize.) I go under the knife April 5th.

    • Jarek March 6, 2022 at 2:48 am #

      Q, my wife’s cousin was a chief oncologist at a nearby hospital. About 20 years ago I had a basal cell lesion on my arm. It came when we were about to take our February trip to Florida. I asked him if we should postpone the trip to treat the basal cell. He laughed and said they don’t spread, and that some oncologists don’t even consider them cancers. Sometime in May I had it cut out. Totally different story with melanomas.

      I read if basal cell carcinomas are totally left untreated over a long time period (over a year), they MAY spread, but often not. Don’t be concerned.

    Last night I watched a portion of two basketball games, one college, one pro. I got a kick out of watching Utah State beat up on San Jose State. At any given moment Utah had just one Black player on the floor with four Whites, all with trim hair and zero tattoos. If you put suits and ties on these four guys they’d look like attendees at an insurance actuaries’ conference. Justin Bean scored 18 pts.

    The pro game was the Knicks vs the Suns. I had not watched a pro game for at least a year. It gave me a certain insight that I had not noticed previously. Every player on the floor was probably the best player on his high school and/or college team if he even bothered to go to college. I realized how superior these pros were compared to a run-of-the-mill college team like Utah State. But monetizing your talent as a pro takes far more than skill at the game itself. One has to be a showman… the hair, the tatts, the clothes you arrive at the venue in, the post-game interview, schmoozing with celebs. Part of the “show” last night was a big brawl resulting in the ejection of Knick player, Julius Randle.

    Miraculously, Russian natgas is still flowing into the EU. Russians & Ukrainians must be taking care to protect the pipelines, which are great moneymakers for both countries (Ukraine gets its cut for gas pipelines traversing its territory) Of course the price of has has been jacked up, for obvious reasons. CURRENTLY RUSSIA IS MAKING $550 MILLION PER DAY SELLING NATGAS TO THE EU. Quite enough to fund Putins ‘War Machine’ thankyou very much.

    Biden, Fauci and the globalists are the most evil, dangerous beings to roam the earth. (and we are stuck with Biden/Fauci until 2024) The damage and hardship they are causing is going to be historic.

    Food shortages, electric blackouts, spreading disease from sewer plants that are shut down. $10 gas by summer.

    Putin did not attack the nuke plant. (that was made-for-TV-agitprop)

    Putin hit the building next to the nuke plant which housed the globalists bio-weapons lab. Biden/Fauci had set up the lab using American tax money with plans to release small pox into Russia.

    Visa and Mastercard are suspending operations in Russia, and yes, they invoke “our values” in doing so. The soulless, political puppet virtue signaling aspect of the move is old hat. Just a staple in any free (lol) western society at this point. The more troubling aspect is the total move now for private corporations, banks, and government to work in concert to deplatform, debank, and deperson any one or anything that offends or disagrees with “our values”. This + the digital ID/pass is the future the globalists want right now.

    In the long and short run though it’s all a gamble. I read that this move will help boost the Russian Mir payment system as well as payment processors in China. It also appears like many supposed experts think this is just another development that will lead to the fall of the dollar as the global reserve currency. It’s also proof doing business or banking with Western companies and institutions is more and more risky with each passing day and every new moment of made for social media moral outrage.

          The threat posed by NATO using Ukraine as a foothold to further encircle Russia is very real for Vlad.

          As the news coverage continues, we are now hearing rumblings that the State Department is considering taking action.

          Fact is, Putin has little choice at this point. If Ukraine were to develop nuclear weapons (which the Zelensky puppet has called for), this would represent an escalation that would constitute an act of war, as would the no-fly zone that Cankles and Brainless Blinkin would like to impose.

Where is that footage from? Lots of people leaving the country shown over and over. Yesterday CNN reporter live reporting, combat helmet on with body armor. Elderly folks with puzzled looks struggle by to cross the river because the bridge has been destroyed. Seems the Ukranians dropped the bridge to stop the Russian advance. No Russians or shooting that I can hear. Why not wait until Russians are close to drop the bridge? Better yet drop it when they are on it. For all I know those elderly crossed that bridge every day to get cabbages on the other side. This guy seems to have some footage. Independent Brit. Probably biased.

    RT

    On Sunday, several Russian banks announced plans to start issuing cards using the Chinese UnionPay card operator system.

    The step, which came shortly after Mastercard and Visa pledged to cease operations in Russia and disconnect all the country’s banks from their payment systems, will enable the holders of new cards to use them for paying and withdrawing cash abroad.

    On Saturday, international financial service providers Visa and Mastercard said they would suspend operations in Russia within the next several days due to the latest Western sanctions related to Moscow’s ongoing war in Ukraine. The drastic step makes the use of cards issued in Russia outside the country implausible. Likewise, cards that were issued outside of Russia will stop working in Russia.

    Visa and Mastercard are the latest international brands taking harsh moves towards Russia over the Ukrainian conflict. Earlier, companies such as PayPal, Netflix, Intel, Inditex, Airbnb and Rolls Royce announced they were leaving the country’s market.

    Anglin: UnionPay is already on a lot of ATMs internationally. I assume most Russian ATMs already accept it.

    But again, the issue is: why would you take out worthless rubles from an ATM? What are you going to do with them?

    Jarek: I assume they thought about this possibility, or at least I hope they did. In any case, it will be a scramble. They may have to go full Communist and institute martial law until a new financial system is put in place.

    • SoftStarLight March 6, 2022 at 3:17 pm #

      So what do you make of all this. I really don’t understand money at a fundamental level. It sounds like Anglin is thinking Russia is going to go through a tough time adjusting. My thought is as long as they have the material supplies they need to keep things going they will be ok. A large portion of the world is not sanctioning Russia too. But beyond that I understand the value of their money has fallen but it’s like why? Like who says so?

      Well having it is the main thing. That’s why I mentioned Communism and Martial Law. Markets can be sick, like how the Government paid people to destroy their crops during the depression, or warehouses full of food while people went hungry.

      During State Control, a black market will spring up and that will be fine. Some might even get rich. In any case, between the two, Russia will make it until the new money system is in place.

      Nazi Germany set up its own system – one not based on loaning money into existence. They because prosperous and powerful. The experiment had to be destroyed before other nations kicked the Bankers out and set up similar systems.

    • Jarek March 6, 2022 at 5:39 pm #

      At its most basic, money is a medium of exchange. You have crayfish and I have potatoes. I want some of your crayfish and I offer to trade. But you don’t want my potatoes. A medium of exchange gets around this problem, and the problem of lugging around heavy potatoes or crayfish that have to stay cold in order to make an exchange.

      The Indians used sea shells, in prison cigarettes are used sometimes. What stopped people from becoming rich by picking up all the right sea shells? Don’t know. Usually something of value is used. The constitution said to base our dollar on silver and gold. But Germany had all its gold taken after WW1. So their money wasn’t based on anything other than themselves and their own faith in Fuhrer and the future of Germany that he promised. It worked. They had enough social cohesion.

      If banks try to make money of off money it is no longer a mere medium, but a commodity. A window is valuable because it is clear, empty of itself allowing one to see thru it. A medium. A stained glass window isn’t empty of itself, and thus no longer a window per se but rather something in itself, namely, art.

      This little story helps to illustrate some of the points:

    Well, ladies and germs;

    You KNOW I usually stay on topic, but as it is Sunday…;

    A man is standing on a street corner and sees a blind man, lead by a seeing eye dog, approaching. At the corner, the dog stops the blind man, and then immediately lifts his own and pees on the man’s leg. The blind man, without missing a beat, reaches into his pocket and offers the dog a cookie.

    The man observing comments; “I am impressed…I have never seen such an act of humanity…of kindness!

    The blind man replies: “Kindness hell! I’m just trying to find his head so I can kick him in the ass!”

            I’ve got a feeling the answer dates back to patrolling the mean streets of Oakland, and your experience is ‘hands on’.

            Anthony “Tony Meatballs” Gilofi is another classic mob name. Tony Meatballs was an old time Philly mobster who survived the Nicky Scarfa, Phil Nicoletti, Joey Resta, Phil Merillo gang wars of the 80s & 90s, only to indicted under RICO just 2 years ago.

            ‘Tony Meatballs’ doesn’t convey the same message as ‘Leadpipe’ tho.

            All these mob books and YouTube video is making me a little nuts.

    BTW,

    The reason Critical Race Theory is being promoted is because it serves as a distraction/diversion from The Cress Theory of Color Confrontation.

    Why is the Left doing this?

    They are doing it because unlike the Cress Theory of Color Confrontation; Critical Race theory does NOT address the question of WHY white people practice racism.

    In contrast, not only does the Cress Theory of Color Confrontation posit an answer to that question; but it kinda validates racism white supremacy as a rational response to the possibility of white people being literally “fucked off the planet”

    In summation, Critical Race Theory tells you WHAT white people practice racism and to some extent HOW they practice racism; but the Cress Theory of Color Confrontation tells you both of those PLUS the reason WHY white people practice racism.

    *you’re welcome*

      See my comment below. Humans – black and white both – are racist. That’s just the way we’ve been wired. Maybe God made us that way to see if we can overcome this flaw, and made a bet with himself on whether we do or not. If you’re an all-powerful, immortal being, you must get bored from time to time.

    • Jarek March 6, 2022 at 2:01 pm #

      CRT is less a theory than a praxis, a way of deconstructing White people so they would die of guilt and shame on the mental and cultural levels. In other words, it’s a racist attack by POC – Pieces of Crap. And the Whites who endorse it? Traitors to their race and nation, that includes their families and their very selves. They are life unworthy of life, vampires and zombies quite literally.

    • Anthea March 6, 2022 at 5:08 pm #

      @ Thwack:

      People prefer people of their own race–and preferably people who share their cultural values. We are hard-wired to be uneasy about people who look different, dress different, and who have unfamiliar manners and a different cultural viewpoint. This hard-wiring is reality-based. People are different from us are rarely our friends, and have rarely been our friends throughout human history. You’d be an idiot not to be racist.

      Since we must sometimes have mutually beneficial dealings with people of other races, religions, and cultures, it is to our advantage to deal with them ethically. This promotes trade and the exchange of knowledge. Hence the Biblical injunction not to mistreat strangers and foreigners.

      White people are probably the least racist people in the world, and were so before “wokeism” came along. While it is true that whites prefer not to live in black neighborhoods, neighborhoods with a high percentage of blacks, and would rather not send their kids to schools with a high percentage of blacks, and might be reluctant to loan blacks money, there are reasons for that.

    Today it’s around 57 degrees out, cloudy and with some intermittent drizzle. But now the sun is poking out. I’ve been stuck in the house for a few days and it’s starting to get to me.

    I’m totally sick and tired of all the happenings in the news, what with conspiracy theories, war, threats, etc. I was thinking existentially about whether this is all worth it? Why not just get on the air and announce that the end of the world is here? They say Putin never bluffs, but if we said to him to end the war now or we will launch all our nukes, I bet Putin would blanch. If he didn’t, we’d wipe each other out, and throw in some missiles to China. BLAM! And that would be that. Would the universe even miss us?

    Humans evolved intelligence, but not enough good traits. We are so flawed maybe the best course of action is to cleanse the Earth of us and let nature try again by going down another path.

    I know this sounds like I’m depressed, but I’m not. I actually feel pretty good emotionally. I’m just tired of all the bullshit, and am exploring alternative solutions. This particular one is pretty drastic, I guess, but all our problems would be solved.

          BTW, I recommend Manuka honey. It only comes from New Zealand. It’s expensive, but it has special health properties. We use it in tea when we don’t feel as good as we’d like, and it seems to work. Don’t say I never did anything for you.

          • Jarek March 6, 2022 at 2:52 pm #

            All real honey is like this. You may have notice this one because you were paying attention because it was supposed to be good.

            But who knows? Maybe it is special. I might be able to tell because I pay attention to such things. Is it expensive?

            We didn’t have our standard 100% Canadian maple syrup that we like to have with French toast available at our place in Gisborne (rollerblader from Canada waves hello, and to those three young ‘hooting/hollering’ Napier women), so, rather than get bummed out about it, I improvised a kind of caramelized in-the-frying-pan manuka honey with lemon and fresh ginger along with the French toast, and it was heavenly. It was even better than with the maple syrup. A recipe for a serious cook-book even.

            I’m less-than-crazy about the taste of Manuka honey, though, but then, I don’t consume much honey in general. Maybe I should and beekeeping is on my bucket list. I do like the idea of making my own honey mead as a good mead is a favourite drink, albeit too rarely enjoyed.

            Right now, as I write, I’m enjoying a stainless-steel mug of cold-milk-brewed (in the blender at lowest speed for about 10 minutes or so) black orange pekoe loose-leaf tea (about 3 heaping tablespoons of the tea to 3.5 cups of milk) that has, after, been chilled in the freezer enough for some ‘yuzu citrus’ ice cream to be added– slowly crushed/mixed into the tea where it makes a kind of ‘frosty’. It could use a shot of moonshine, but I’ve yet to pot-distill a fermented 4-litre wild/store-yeast hybrid sugar-wash that’s waiting in the cupboard.

            Making my own fruit-juice ciders and moonshines/ethanols had been on my learning/bucket list.

          • The Man They Call Zazelle March 6, 2022 at 3:20 pm #

            Regarding the above cold-milk-brewed blended tea, I sieve it through a stainless steel sieve into a stainless-steel mixing bowl for the freezer to chill it down a little. I keep the tea that’s in the sieve and re-add it to the blender for another round. I do this a third time after, then the fourth time gets the heat treatment and so added with milk again, often with a chai-style spice-mix, and to the stovetop pot just until boiling.

            The pot/tea is then cooled down quickly by floating the pot on top of cold water filling the sink until sufficiently cool enough to then get sieved and placed in the freezer to get cooled down again. The remaining tea leaves in the seive can even be blended yet again with a little milk and added to the heat-brewed mix for a good quantity of tea or spiced-chai.

          • benr March 6, 2022 at 3:21 pm #

            I have made mead but no other alcohol and the longer I let it sit the smoother it got.

          • The Man They Call Zazelle March 6, 2022 at 3:36 pm #

            Yes, that’s what I hear about smoothness.
            Even my ciders seem a little smoother if, after I bottle them (washed plastic bottles once containing soda pop), they are left to stand in the fridge for a couple of days or so.

    If anyone is interested in following Reiner Fuellmich’s online Grand Jury Trial, the Day 5 session about the financial side of things is really excellent. I’ve heard a lot of it expressed by other people, but the first two speakers, which are as far as I’ve got so far (just over 2 hours) are really excellent.

    https://www.bitchute.com/video/5qRwZEISIp8b/

    It shows so clearly how the psychos at the top have, from their own point of view, absolutely no option but to do what they’re doing in order to totally control the population to prevent them from dragging them out of their houses and finishing them off when they discover how they’ve been played financially (let alone ‘medically’).

    At 2.14 or so the presenter gets on to derivatives, which JHK has been talking about for years.

      I mentioned Reiner at Peak Oil Barrel (open-thread-non-petroleum-october-1-2020; Caelan MacIntyre
      10/06/2020 at 1:14 am )

      You can see my back-and-forth in that thread too. Actually, I’ll copy/paste some of it:

      “GerryF
      10/06/2020 at 12:19 pm

      As i understand it, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is a Consumer Affairs Lawyer.

      The German Corona Investigative Committee doesn’t seem to have any official standing anywhere. It seems to be four people who called themselves a committee.

      I’ve never been sure if the teams of epidemiologists and virologists and medical specialists all around the world are considered part of the conspiracy, or just considered to be ignorant and easily taken in by the conspiracy.”

      “alimbiquated
      10/07/2020 at 9:10 am

      Fuelmich is an ambulance chasing lawyer. He is not a medical doctor, German academic titles can be confusing if used without translation. He studied law. He mostly works for banks suing each other or on class action suits against banks. He is trying to do something like a class action suit against the German government, but such a thing doesn’t include punitive under German law, I think, so it isn’t so lucrative for lawyers. I guess he will try to do it in California instead, where he has worked in the past.

      The ‘German Corona Committee’ (Corona-Ausschuss) is him and three or four other lawyers trying to organize the lawsuit. Apparently the only thing they’ve come up with so far is that the usual test doesn’t work as stated, and that “corona is about as dangerous as the flu” (das Corona-Virus entspricht in seiner Gefährlichkeit eine Grippe).”

      “jjhman
      10/07/2020 at 1:15 pm

      I’ve also watched a few minutes of Trump speeches. It doesn’t take much to decide sometimes. You seem to exhibit that kind of toxic self righteousness so common in the uninformed Trump rabble. How much ‘willful ignorance’ does it take to imagine a conspiracy or a ‘sheeple-ness’ that includes virtually the entire world’s population of medical expertise? If we can’t trust them more than a cabal of German lawyers we might as well give up on the concept of civilization.”

      • The Man They Call Zazelle March 6, 2022 at 3:47 pm #

        ^ Those are some of the responses I got to my mention of Reiner’s work. You can see my responses to those responses there.

        • GreenAlba March 6, 2022 at 5:50 pm #

          I went over and had a look, Zazelle (I see it was a while ago). I have to admire your stamina in the face of replies that boil down to (a) ad homs (he’s a lawyer – nuff said – and how dare he call himself ‘Dr’ when he’s not a medical doctor?), and (b) I can’t believe a conspiracy of that order could happen therefore I’m happy to conclude is isn’t happening.

      Why does NASCAR have only one black driver after all this time who pretty much never wins anything. Same for women, but Danica Patrick’s already retired and I don’t think she ever won anything either? Racism/sexism or they just can’t cut it? Or maybe they’ve both got better sense than to drive guided missiles round and round two mile tracks at 200 MPH every weekend? It’s impressive to watch, but it does seem rather pointless. Wouldn’t 100 MPH with much smaller engines work just as well as long as it was still competitive?

      The spectators who actually show up to watch in person (increasingly fewer these days) seem to be almost all old white people in motor homes who go for the entire weekend experience – luxury camping/drinking with a professional auto race event to top it off and provide a reason for going in the first place. One wonders how much longer these events can last when the energy shortages really begin to bite and how will NASCAR deal with the need to downscale everything or perish altogether, and further, how will what remains of America’s car culture deal with that fact when it happens? Will the inevitable end of NASCAR officially signal the long-awaited end of “Happy Motoring” in the US?

      This lack of interest, the crickets, who knows?… maybe because in lieu of your theory, most crackers understand the simpler and more logical explanation summed up by the phrase “competence equals dominance”. In other words if your group creates the technologies that define the world in any given epoch (from the Ice Age to the Dole Age as one crooner put it), your group will dominate that epoch. It’s pretty difficult to dispute that the last half-millenium had Whitey’s fingerprints all over it. Matter of fact, nary a day goes by when the average POC doesn’t appropriate White culture dozens of times in that 24 hour period. You for instance did it minimum three times with your last post.

      And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the problem with CRT (and for that matter its competing “theories” in the realm of grievance studies): its advocates are utterly dependent on the civilization they seek to overthrow. Take away that foundational civilization and the country (world?) is one big Detroit…

      For instance, I saw a PBS special on DNA testing of the 23 and Me variety and a black academic was lamenting the fact that the ancestry tracing was much more defined and precise for Europe than for Asia and Africa. She saw this as evidence of bias (racism?) but isn’t a more likely explanation that the very discovery of DNA as well as the mapping of the human genome, etc, etc, etc was the work of those of European ancestry who naturally focused on their own. The solution of course would be to come up with your own inventions but complaining is so much easier than that of course. Healthy societies are acutely averse to orienting their energies based on the lowest lowest-common denominator. Resentment (which should be treated as what it is and nothing more profound or deserving of attention than that) is understandable because it must suck to be a culture that is eternally paying catch up…

        I get very tired of white pride in the very technological apparatus that is so foolishly precarious it’s about to cave-in and take a large chunk of the world with it.

        That said, I also get tired of racial enmity towards whites based more in jealousy over ownership of that foolish technological apparatus than in principled condemnation of the apparatus (which I would, out of a truer sense of actual race-pride as a white man, support… condemnation of one of the historical weaknesses of my race which deserves condemnation).

        Thwack may be an outlier and take a more principled approach to criticism of whites’ historical record than many.

        • King of Comedy March 6, 2022 at 5:44 pm #

          It is the prerogative of a member of the creator group to criticize the creation but, given the premise that one technological innovation invariably opens the door for others… and others… and others, where does one draw the line? After all, strict logical consistency in that vein of thought says that you can be Ted Kaczynski or a guy commenting on this blog… but not both.

          To my point though, one often hears that the less-pigmented cannot possibly understand the reality of the more-pigmented and therefore the former should refrain from pronouncements on the latter. Fair enough, but is not the converse also true?

          • gustafson.robert.22 March 6, 2022 at 6:12 pm #

            No.
            One (simply, so simply) draws the line at the point at which technologies become counterproductive.

            And, to point two, Ted Kaczinski would have been more effective honing his communication skills and developing more rich communication opportunities… using violence in a smarter way, if at all. That said, he did alright, and was effective. The primary flaw is probably in the manifesto… a lack of depth and creativity leading to solutions.

            His flaw was not use of a typewriter, or the postal service, or eating canned goods. The kind of accusations of hypocrisy you make in this vein are shallow and silly.

            Ted does give off too much the aura of a crippled, angry, impotent victim. But still, successful, in his own way.

        • tucsonspur March 6, 2022 at 6:03 pm #

          It’s much larger than the technological, but would you not have the motor, the telephone, the light bulb? I don’t particularly like cell phones and the wide proliferation of cell towers, but even these have positive aspects.

          I say that science and technology have, because of man’s nature, followed an inevitable course. Yes, a curse on things like gain of function and nuclear weapons.

          What about art, architecture, music, literature, etc.? Sure, you have Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Alex Haley, Ralph Ellison, etc. These writers are more about the plight of blacks vis a vis the ‘domination’ of whites, and yes, they often describe that plight accurately and eloquently.

          And then of course we have hip hop and rap music with all of its rebellious baseness and depravity insinuating itself into the American culture for decades, all catering to the primitive instinct and the desire for revenge and retaliation, folded into their own ‘art form’.

          I like Eldridge Cleaver, and ‘Soul on Ice’.

          ” ‘Look boy, we have a final little adjustment to make. I’m still going to be the brain and you’re still the body. But from now on, you do all the flexing but I’ll do all the fucking. The brain must control the body. To prove my omnipotence I must cuckold you and fetter your bull balls. I will fetter the range of your rod and limit its reach. ‘… I will have access to the white woman and I will have access to the black woman. The black woman will have access to you-but she will also have access to me. I forbid you access to the white woman. By subjecting your manhood to the control of my will, I shall control you. The stem of the body, the penis, must submit to the will of the brain’.

If you have a blanket dislike for technology, it seems likely to me that this is because you have no job to do. If you did, you would rather have a tractor than draft horses, and you would prefer telephony (of some kind) to conducting your business and social life on foot.

        A similar argument is made concerning cultural institutions that have been open to the public for years and years: Museums
        .

        Now they are being accused of being “exclusionary” and exuding exclusionist “vibes” because POC are little represented in their staffs and on their walls—and also in their visitor numbers.

        No matter how much volunteer docents have “reached out” into the community, brought in school classes to the museem to expose school children to what is there, etc., these institutions are still labeled racists. The volunteer docents are being thrown out, new POC docents are being brought who will reinterpret all of the collections according to CRT precepts, etc.

        To me this is a sick joke, because POC could have gone into these public treasure houses any time they wanted to and feasted their eye on the paintings, the artwork, they could have sat there with their sketchbooks and drawn. No one was stoppoing them. Hundreds of artists have educated themselves by visiting public museums and absorbing what they saw there.

        The public library system of the USA (and also the UK) is one of the huge cultural accomplishments of this nation, dwarfing just about everything else in its impact. To walk up the steps of the New York Public Library, or into the vestibule of the (old) Boston Public library induced in me as a teenager a sense of awe and gratitude: open to all.

        Anyone can go to the Print Room of the New York Public Library and look at or ask for specific folders to view.

        So why are the POC bitching? Why don’t they use these resources? No one has stopped them. Instead there is endless bitching that they were established by whites and therefore are racist and the POC now have the right to take them over. Rewrite their missions. Dump on the art that is in the collections. Most educated citizens already understand the power relations inherent in the creation of a lot of art. That doesn’t mean that this is the only way to look at it. I learned this perspective decades ago when i took art history courses in college.

        This takeover and dumbing down of museums and kicking in the teeth people who have served for decades in a volunteer capacity (most of them women) is occurring at every level, from the Art Institute of Chicago to the local historical society.

          What’s going to happen to European museums when Europe goes Muslim – expected to happen during this century in most places. Islam forbids the depiction of the human form.

          Some of the comrades wanted to destroy Russia’s artistic patrimony, but they were told it could be sold for a lot of money to fund the Revolution. I imagine Muslim Europe will go the same way.

      @ Thawk:

      While you are the equal of most on this site, in terms of literacy, blacks–besides being only about 13% of the US population–have stunningly high rates of illiteracy. (So do whites, IMHO, just not as high as blacks.) You can observe the stunningly high rates of subliteracy among all races by (trying to) read the comment section on Zerohedge–a site presumably frequented by a lot of investors and other educated people. My impression is that blacks have little interest in the type of material JHK presents, or in intellectual matters in general, unless they lend themselves to thinking up some reason to feel aggrieved.

      Okay, whites generally aren’t much interested in intellectual matters either. But they are somewhat more likely to be than are blacks–and substantially more likely to be able to read and write.

    Yes Manuka is pretty expensive. Probably because it only comes from one place in the world. A half-size jar (about 8 oz) cost $25 a few months ago. Since then food prices in general have exploded, so who knows how much it costs now. We don’t use it regularly, just regular honey, so the 8 oz. lasts us a year or more.

And much, much more.

    Then its movies and shit like hip-hop love stuff, “Run the World”, “blackish’, “Our Kind of People”, “Black Lightning”, and of course “Godfather of Harlem”.

  166. MaryQueen March 6, 2022 at 7:28 pm #

    Just passing this on. Got it off of Helen of Destroy’s Telegram feed:

    “Report # 13. KIEV AND NATO PLANNED TO ATTACK DONBASS AND CRIMEA ON MARCH 8, 2022. THEY MISCALCULATED

    1. Moscow disrupted NATO-Ukrainian schemes. The documents loaded in the notebook belonging to NATO and the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) that was found at the captured position of the UAF clearly proved that transatlantic alliance HQ and Kiev have planned to launch a large-scale attack vs Donbass and Crimea on March 8th, 2022.

    Before Russian military operation aimed at liberation of Ukraine started February 24th, 2022 up to 50 heavy cargo planes carrying military hardware from the US, UK, Canada, Poland, and Lithuania landed in Ukraine prior to the start of the Russian military operation there, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has revealed. Some 2,000 tonnes of modern weapons, ammunition, and protective gear were supplied to Ukraine in the first month and a half of 2022. According to NATO statement issued February 25th, 2022 (Doc. # (2022/046), 17 NATO countries with their names specified of 30 deliver lethal weapons to ultra-nationalist Ukraine.

    2. On March 6th, 2022 Russian troops continued the military operation according to the plan and real situation.

    The Russian Armed Forces have destroyed 2,203 targets of the Ukrainian military infrastructure since the beginning of the special military operation. Russian fighter jets and air defence systems have shot down ten Ukrainian combat aircraft and helicopters over the past 24 hours.

    Totally, from February 24th 69 Ukrainian aircraft on the ground and 24 aircraft in the air, 778 tanks and APCs, 77 MLRS, 279 field artillery and mortars, 553 special military vehicles, as well as 62 unmanned aerial vehicles, including Turkish-made Bayraktar TB-2, as well as 76 command and control plus communication centers, 111 MDS S-300, Buk M-1 and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as 71 radar stations were also destroyed.

    Nearly all Ukrainian capable combat aircraft ceased to exist.
    3. Kiev’s lust for nuclear & biological weapons. While working on the creation of a nuclear explosive devices, Kiev was also actively engaged in modernizing existing and designing of new medium-range missiles to be used for their delivery in close cooperation with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. In order to accelerate the R &D, the USA transferred plutonium to Kiev. The Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology as well the Kiev-based Institute for Nuclear Research and many other scientific institutions across Ukraine have been involved in nuclear weapon development.

    During the current campaign some documents have been found revealing that the USA was helping Kiev to create biological weapons. For this purpose, blood samples have been taken from 4.000 Ukrainian GIs to test their resistance to various highly virulent bacteria.

    4. Kiev still shelled Donbass, damaging civilian infrastructure, and prevented civilians to leave Mariupol via humanitarian corridor. “Azov” ultra-nazi battalion shelled a vehicle packed with trapped people wishing to flee – all Ukrainians. The UNO Secretary General, the OSCE, the IRC and BDIHR keep dead silence over such tragedy.
    5. Zelensky’s fate is determined. An elite commando force consisting of 150 US Navy SEALS and over 70 British SAS or Special Air Service commandos are stationed at Shaulai AFB in Lithuania with the task to evacuate him urgently from Ukraine. He has been treated several times shortly in the neighboring NATO countries against mental and nerve systems disorders. The recent CNN interview with him is a vivid proof of that.

    wow, you know I know how corrupt our government has become but i’m not about to go full John Reed here and laud Vlad Putin. It’s been obvious to me for a couple decades he was going to make moves to control the flow of energy, can’t fault him for that. But the love shown on some of these comments for this guy I think is a bit much. I’m not sure he’s as loved by his people as a few commentators have implied. I have a Russian brother in law, have been behind the iron curtain twice, my son’s girlfriend is Polish, I’m well traveled, been to previously communist countries 5-6 times, and I think that’s dressing him up a bit to claim that he’s just trying to liberate poor old Donbass, that this is all our fault, that he’s really a nice guy just trying to maintain equilibrium, invaded Ukraine at the behest of the Russian ethnics who are in there (isn’t that kinda eerily similar to what’s his name – that Austrian guy and the Sudetenland) that he’s beloved by his people. I’m not quite willing to go there. whatever its faults, whether or not it too is corrupt, whether it was under USSR’s yoke for 100 years, blah blah blah, at least superficially Ukraine is a separate democratic nation that appears to have been invaded. Now yeah, I get it, it may be a wag the dog thing, and there are really no Russians in Ukraine, it is all done with green screens, and fake news, and Kyiv is really placid etc; that this is all a distraction by the powers that be to distract us from the Covid fraud…and I’m willing to have my face muddied if that’s the case…but i’m not really willing to buy that Putin’s doing this for Ukraine’s own good and with the support of the Ukrainian people. Russia isn’t much of anything. It’s a broken country, with chronically broken people, incapable of really doing anything but some misplaced pride based on a few centuries of culture, but barely able to feed themselves, they make nothing and export nothing (hell, I just bought a set of headphones made in Romania with Ukrainian acoustic technology and a couple guitars made in CZ); seriously, what has this nation accomplished that makes us want to defend them?

      The Russian Federation probably could have done better in the “cool stuff” export trinkets if there weren’t some kinds of sanctions on that country since forever and a day after the end of the commies. U.S. leads the way and Europe follows suit over whatever Russian outrage of the week in the terms of a Washington Consensus communique. They’re not stupid and figure artillery shells are a better investment.

    How is that ‘racism white supremacy’?

    ****************

    are you asking how racism = white supremacy?

    Its because the more powerful white person always decides who is a white person and who is not.

    I once did an experiment with a racist white person on a subway car.

    I first asked them if they were a white person. They said “yes.”

    I then began to point at people in the subway car and ask “is he a white person?”

    “Is she a white person…”

    he wouldn’t answer me.

    Think about that?

    Thats also why the first question I asked him was “are you a white person?”

    By answering “yes” to that question, he confirmed he knows what a white person is; but when I pointed to other people on the train he refused to answer because he knew that I knew he would be practicing racism.

    See how smart white people are?

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder March 6, 2022 at 10:05 pm #

      More likely he was thinking of how to quickly exit that unsolicited situation with a stranger on a train before it escalated through no fault of his own.

      • MaryQueen March 6, 2022 at 10:16 pm #

        Right? And it’s just impolite to assume who/what anyone else is.

        Sounds like the guy was just practicing good ol’ politeness, even while being baited by thwack.

    • MaryQueen March 6, 2022 at 10:15 pm #

      Ummm… OK, sure, thwack.

      Might that be that white people have been so trained to be careful of appearing racist that they are afraid to answer that question?

    • MaryQueen March 6, 2022 at 10:17 pm #

      So, if you asked a black person to do the same, are you saying the results would be different? And if not, would that mean the person is a black supremacist racist?

    • gustafson.robert.22 March 6, 2022 at 10:40 pm #

      Both the exercise and the refusal to answer seem dumb.

      I’ll assign everyone a race based on looks and won’t be embarrassed if I subtly misidentify a few, or even quite a few… no reason why any normal adult human on Earth wouldn’t do the same thing, except to reject the whole exercise as a dopey waste of time. We’ve got some races. They’re more or less identifiable by all.

      Thwack, if you have a worthwhile point here, I don’t know what it is; not because I’m blind to it. Because it hasn’t been made skillfully.

      What is “racism” really, as a fault? It’s merely the overemphasis of concepts of generalized traits of racial groups in the analysis of an individual or individual situation. Allowing preconceived generalities to inhibit open-minded evaluation of the facts of a particular case. That, OR an unwarranted, unproven condescension toward a racial group in its entirety. An erroneous conclusion about the group generally.

      Honestly are you so sure at some point your African only genes did not get polluted with some Uero-genes like Obama?
      There is no such thing as a pure bred African in America your all mutts just as most “white” people are as well.
      Grandma was mostly Cherokee, yet my skin color is white her husband was of Dutch ancestry.
      Other side of my family came over on the Mayflower mom side and grandpa was Russian Jew.

    *********************************************

    Stop playing dumb with me you white people.

    Remember?

    The first question I asked was ARE YOU A WHITE PERSON?

    If you answer “no”; the experiment stops right there.

    Ive also done variations of the experiment where a person refuses to answer the question of “are you a white person?”

    If they try that tactic, I then ask them “do you KNOW if you are a white person?”

    It similar to how I know what a snake is; but I don’t know what a snake is to another snake.

    Look, I know you guys hate me and think Im a bad person… but you all created me. Im your frankenstein monster and you think once I find out how you made me Im gonna come after you?

    Im not like that; but watching Russians and Ukrainians slaughter each other helps me understand why you might think I am.

    • Jarek March 6, 2022 at 11:54 pm #

      Race is a fuzzy set. Think I’m making that term up? Google it.

      Just as each color on the spectrum merges by degrees into the colors next to it, so it is with race. Does that mean the colors don’t exist, because they aren’t discrete? Uh no, genius.

      You might as well say nothing exists because nothing is completely separate from everything else.

      Chances are very good that I’m more White than you are Black, but we can let that go. Just try to be a good Black person and not a monster, ok?

        I’m whiter than white. More like a whiter shade of pale or a paler shade of white, not sure which. Genetic profile said >99% Kraut, <1% English/Other Northern European. If I spend time in the sun then I'm just red or pink.

        • Disaffected March 7, 2022 at 8:46 am #

          And since we’re going off on race again (yawn!), I have to say being a pale-assed red head all my life hasn’t exactly been a piece of cake either. It’s definitely not a popular look these days.

    JHK interesting thoughts, and also Russell Brand on his YouTube channel questions the MSM reporting of current Ukraine situation. Still, the main point the everyday Joe who is blue collar works to support his family is dying, and being abused, they are like us the blue collar folks here in USA, just trying to live a decent life, be decent and take care of family. Why is Russia bombing them, but I guess we the USA are not that innocent either, what a sad world indeed. I spoke to the family in the old country, they are farmers, shortage of parts, and supplies and flour is in short supply. The baking Aunts who are Queens of old homemade pasta, bread and pizza are nervous, and those in their 90’s cry for the Ukraine because they still remember their WW2 bombing experience. Meanwhile on the hospital front who are still at 100% census, scrambling for supplies, and one our attending doctors noticed last week, “Hey what happened to Covid? It just vanished, but in the world of Microbes its still there hiding and waiting like China.

    I can’t speak Russian or understand cyrillic script so I share with caution however this article discusses information from the Russian Ministry of Defense in regards to US CIA bioweapons labs in Ukraine. It could be disinfo but I find it interesting that the alleged labs are in the major cities many of which are being surrounded and cleared out.

      I saw a translation of htis document yesterday.

      Darn, can’t recall exactly where.

      I am doing too much online reading.

      Must have been linked at The Saker.

      There was also this:

      ” The facts of the emergency cleansing by the Kiev regime of the traces of the military biological program being implemented in Ukraine, funded by the US Department of Defense, have been revealed – Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
      The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published an instruction of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the destruction of pathogens and acts of destruction in the Poltava and Kharkiv biological laboratories
      The received documents confirm that in the Ukrainian biological laboratories, in the immediate vicinity of the territory of Russia, the development of biological weapons components was carried out. In order to prevent disclosure of the facts of violation by the United States and Ukraine of Article 1 of the UN Convention on the Prohibition of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health sent an instruction to all biological laboratories to urgently eliminate stored stocks of dangerous pathogens.
      In the near future, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation intends to present the results of the analysis of the received documents.”

      http://thesaker.is/sitrep-ukraine-dailyish-2/

      I’ll try to find the translation. It must be linked at another thread at the Saker blog.

    A few guys in town own Ural motorcycles, I see them around. Actually in this land of crotch rockets and Harleys I’m kind of drawn to them with my Royal Enfield, outliers that we are. These Urals are like two wheel tanks with sidecars and actually have rear and FRONT WHEEL DRIVE! Well, I hope these Ural owners don’t suffer any opprobrium from locals for owning a Russian made motorcycle. I guess it depends how much more anti Russian hysteria is cranked up by the media. Maybe it’ll die down after a time. Meanwhile, maybe these Urals should be left in the garage until all this blows over.

      And irony abounds. Our own Senator Blumenthal was going around the State yesterday trying to gen up support for an embargo on Russian oil and natgas. One shot has him making a speech in front of an enthusiastic crowd in New Haven. Behind the Senator you see could see a sign at a service station posting the gasoline price: $4.29 per gallon.

        It is over $5 here in San Diego.
        Average rent is $2500 and now I was just told a one bedroom one bath apartment is $3,000 a month.
        I broke down and bought a #1 breakfast at McDonalds with a medium coffee and an extra greasy hashbrown and the total was over $10 dollars.
        Median price for a home in San Diego is over $600k.
        Something has to give.
        Just read the local target is talking about paying people $24 an hour and change.
        In N Out a burger chain know for paying decent had a sign-up starting wages $18.85- $20.50 an hour. The line was out the door and wrapped around the parking lot for a tasty burger.
        Drive thru was affecting traffic and a dozen cars deep on the street.

          Obama said energy prices were going to skyrocket under his energy plan and sure enough when Joe Biden was installed that plan started unfolding again.

            Best fast-food burger in America hands down.
            Their fries are better than McDonalds when hot but once they go cold not so great.
            I’m told they have great shakes.
            My wife and I ate there this weekend for under $20.
            Three cheeseburgers, two fries, chocolate shake and a pretty good lemonade.
            The dog loved her cheeseburger.

      They’re just going to wring every last buck out of the ‘Batman’ franchise evidently. What is this, the third iteration of major movies based on that story? I liked the campy TV version better than any of them. Twice a week was a cool format as well.
