For all his apparent clownishness and crudity, Mr. Trump’s counter-resistance may be all that stands, for the moment, between the DNC-sponsored Jacobin jihad, and what remains of a coherent consensus of genuine American values. History is a prankster, of course, and the joke is that Mr. Trump expresses that defense of coherence so incoherently, as in Tulsa the other night. Alas, the joke is on us, but among the many lost lessons of public education in our time is the comprehension that life is tragic. Things work mysteriously, and they don’t always work out.

Mischief is everywhere and America is overwhelmed by that mischief, and the next two weeks are liable to be an awful test to see if we have anything definable as some national purpose left. Is it not obvious that in this time of danger nobody besides the beleaguered president even wants to lead? The cowardly and dishonest Left is too busy kneeling to a mob. Nobody mistakes Chuck Schumer, Mrs. Pelosi, Jerrold Nadler, and Adam Schiff for leaders, and Joe Biden in his basement has less influence over events than the ghost of Norman Bates’s mother.

The only other figure exercising any legitimate authority is the Attorney General, Mr. Barr — functionally an extension of the president — who has to do it with the utmost finesse, since the essence of the DNC Jacobin jihad is a cavalier disregard for law at the same time they weaponize it under the banner of Lawfare. Mr. Barr’s implacable stolidity drives them nuts, such as when he quietly said to Maria Bartiromo yesterday:

     …I do believe there were two standards of justice during a period of time toward the end of the Obama administration…. And all I can do about it is apply one standard of justice, the right standard of justice, and make sure we apply it to everybody equally. And that’s what I’m trying to do…. [I]t’s been stunning that all we have gotten from the mainstream media is sort of bovine silence in the face of the complete collapse of the so-called Russiagate scandal, which they did all they could to sensationalize and drive. And it’s, like, not even a whoops. They’re just onto the next false scandal…. I think it is the closest we have come to an organized effort to push a president out of office.”

Clearly Mr. Barr is onto the game being played. It’s probably hard to overstate the degree of anxiety this stirs up among the leftovers of Robert Mueller’s core Jacobin cadre, and the puppet-masters who unleashed them, including former President Obama and his inner circle. The sensitivity of the matter also can’t be overstated, since the obvious implication in Mr. Barr’s carefully chosen phrases is that this is a case of sedition, which could send some of them to prison for a long time, and blow up some cherished narratives of the Resistance. And he is pursuing it in the face of a coming election ­— which presents additional new opportunities for Jacobin mischief in messing with the voting process.

All this goes on against the background of the imploding economy. The looting and arson of recent days hugely aggravated a central feature of it: the destruction of small business. In Minneapolis alone, the damage stands at $100-million. Things were difficult enough under the strictures of Covid-19, but this guarantees that many cities will not see the return of commerce — and there are only a few other reasons for cities to even exist. Not only did the Democratic Party fail to object to the mayhem, but the city governments they controlled abetted, incited, and applauded the anarchy.

Saturday in Tulsa, Mr. Trump made the signal error of bragging on the latest highs in the stock markets. Hasn’t he learned by now what a flimsy representation of reality that is? Evidently not. The air may be coming out of that lifebuoy in the next couple of weeks, and his election prospects will sink with it. This will happen as the nation approaches the dark moment when the postponement of debt repayments ends. Imagine how many mortgage, car payments, and small business loan defaults will crackle across the land, and how that will thunder through the banking system. Anyone with half a brain knows that only the strenuous manipulations of the Federal Reserve have kept stocks levitating, doing the only trick they know how to do: printing money by digital keystrokes.

There are so many dimensions to that blunder, it could hasten a more complete economic, civil and social collapse before November 3. If markets somehow magically stayed elevated, would all those Americans dispossessed of houses, cars, and businesses not feel more resentful than ever about the skullduggery of the elites? And might they form a third faction in a burgeoning civil war against both the Woke Left and the Trump-led government? And what if the Federal Reserve’s stupid trick of money-printing destroys the value of the dollar per se? That’s hardly a far-out scenario.

Meanwhile, there’s the sinister joker-in-the-deck these next couple of weeks. It’s called the Fourth of July. It’s hard to imagine a fatter target for those who are truly intent on making things as bad as possible than that particular holiday. Hey, they’ve already torn down statues of George Washington. What else is left to trash?

    It looks like Trump will get “creamed” in the next election in November, and the people will vote for a bloke with dementia?

    • Nightowl June 22, 2020 at 10:35 am #

      Not a chance, other than via fraud, but there is always some degree of fraud factored in.

      What many forget is that the McMedia and FaceTweet have and continue to do all they can to give the illusion that Trump has no support. Time and time again, outside of the bubble, we see the opposite.

      The violence being perpetuated with the blessing of the Uniparty is also going to push many thousands more to Trump. He won the independent vote in 2016, and that was before the Uniparty used the wokesters and anarchists to torch cities.

      The election is already over. The more important question is what comes after Trump, because the opposition just ran a soft coup and, having failed, are now in the progress of destroying the country to impose their will. What would happen if that group actually got power again?

      Ponder that.

      • bluedog June 22, 2020 at 11:24 am #

        Lol and at some point reality must set in,his latest rally billed as the second coming turned into a farce, as only a fraction bothered to show up and that’s a refection of his support….

      • K-Dog June 22, 2020 at 11:59 am #

        Less than half the number of people than there were at the last Bernie Rally? Bernie is gone and Trump is a dead man walking just like Bernie. The only reason Trump has any chance of winning is because he is running unopposed. Joe thinks he is running for the Senate again. The uni-party has it in the bag.

        What would happen if that group actually got power again?

        It would mean no Trump. Things would not be worse. Not better not worse, our course would remain on the fatal track. Trump is not governing. Biden can’t govern.

        The difference is what? Both men are zeros.

        K-Dog for president is the only thing that makes sense.

        America is in the doghouse and I’ll’ get us out or croak trying. That is why I make sense.

        Pondered.

        Uhhh…I can’t believe I’m doing it, and I’m going to do it with a shot or two of scotch in waiting, but I’m voting for Trump.

        This coming from a social worker who voted for Obama…twice.

        Can’t escape it though. Biden is liquid soap down to the spinal cord. The rest of the left have straight up lost it in every sense of the phrase.

        • King of Comedy June 23, 2020 at 2:35 pm #

          I am reminded of PJ O’Rourke’s comment endorsing Hillary Clinton in the last election: “It’s the second-worst thing that can happen to this country, but she’s way behind in second place. She’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.”

          Just substitute in Trump for Clinton this time around. I don’t think Trump is really competent (in anything actually) and he is hardly the figure one would hope for in this perilous time in the history of this country (Western civilization?). History is perverse that way though. Biden is not the issue per se but a vote for him is a vote for the self-hating, kneeling brigade.

          It’s actually pretty remarkable that the Visigoths inside the gates are so repellent that they make a circus clown look like a better option but alas, that’s where we are.

      JHK, JHK, JHK… So many intelligent people that have such limited understanding of how our monetary/fiscal system works in this country (post gold standard, 1971). And, it amazes me how these false idée fixe remain fixed, and how they refuse to open their minds and inspect.

      Jim: The Federal Reserve does not print money. The Fed can only lend. The Fed implements monetary policy. It is the Congress/Federal Government/US Treasury that prints money. They implement fiscal policy. The Fed Reserve is the bank of the US Government and follows the governments directions. They were created by Congress and have certain mandates and Congress can pull or change their charter any time they want (or abolish The Fed if it so wanted… buy why, it is only a central bank). You are looking at the wrong target: it isn’t The Fed, it is Congress.

      (Note: The book, “The Creature From Jeckyll Island” and all others of that ilk are categorically incorrect. They spew false information and conspiracy theories and confuse the citizens of the USA. WE NEED THE TRUTH!)

      The Fed Reserve does not levitate the stock market. The Federal Reserve can not destroy the value of the USD.

      Come off your idée fixes, open your mind, and read Stephanie Kelton’s, “The Deficit Myth” and once you’ve absorbed and analyzed the information I guarantee that you will have significantly reoriented opinons about what is going on here in the USA, and what our TRUE concerns should be.

    the only way trump wins is if the riots are much more wide-spread and widely reported. and his campaign is successful in convincing people who don’t live near the riots that his opponents are supporting the rioters.

    • DrTomSchmidt June 22, 2020 at 11:09 am #

      Or, if people can be conned again into thinking he’s going to DO SOMETHING about rioting.

      Now, we saw a bit of this when the Federal attorney for Philadelphia indicted an AntiFa woman for burning a police vehicle. Since Soros has sponsored so many local DA’s who are focused on social justice, if Trump were to go through and have Barr indict people for rioting, it might make a difference, since the turnkey justice of liberal DA’s will see no one held accountable for the riots that sacked and destroyed our cities.

    • K-Dog June 22, 2020 at 12:07 pm #

      Take Trump out of the equation and America stops being divided by zero. What happens when people realize there is no more Trump and all the riots stop?

      The healing can begin. But with trump there were four years of ‘The Long Riot’. The new book on collapse soon to be written by K-Dog.

      A long emergency turns out to be inaccurate. The long riot is a far better descriptor. People come together in emergencies but on this Titanic the fat men with diamond studs in their ties have taken to the lifeboats leaving the women and children to drown.

      KDFP Because every American deserves a lifeboat.

      • Rupert June 22, 2020 at 12:45 pm #

        Substitute in someone a bit less absurd than The Donald and do you still have riots and unrest?

        If someone actually attempted to do what he only did in rhetoric- reduce migrant flows, reindustrialize, or the like, is there a way to avoid unrest or will that button ever be pushed by oligarchs and their client demographics and the Woke?

        If we’re locked into global capitalism and Wokeness, I want off of this train and do not think I can recognize that version of the polity as legitimate.

        • K-Dog June 22, 2020 at 3:48 pm #

          I don’t see a meaningful discussion regarding someone less absurd. Biden is perhaps less absurd and that would be a debate in its own right, but less absurd does not change the rush to destruction.

          Wokeness is the last defense of the status quo and is wedded to capitalism power and privilege I agree. Different actors, same game. If someone actually attempted to change and slow the run off the cliff down, and they were honest, that would avoid unrest.

          It really would, but we would need a man to put the National interest before his own and the number of conventional American politicians who reflect this value and have integrity to keep personal interest out of the job can be counted on one paw.

      • shotho June 22, 2020 at 1:05 pm #

        “healing”, now there’s a meaningless platitude. What ‘healing’ do you foresee under Biden and the Democrats; more pandering to the nihilists, open borders, homosexualism, greater dependency on the federal government, anarchy in the streets, gender confusion, etc?

      • Sredni Vashtar June 22, 2020 at 1:07 pm #

        Why would they stop if they attained so much through violence? And why would they mob vote for a white man when they could have a black woman? In case you don’t know, Trump isn’t hated just or even primarily for himself, but as a symbol of the old America and the race that built it.

        The end of the frolics by dumping Trump? Oh we’ve barely but begun.

          Wrong.

          He is loathed for his ignorance, his incoherence, his perfidy, his self-serving narcissism and his towering foolishness.

          He doesn’t symbolise anything about the ‘old’ America or the dominant white race. He’s trailer trash with money.

          • Sredni Vashtar June 23, 2020 at 5:17 am #

            I will ferret out the Truth even if it thrills me. He is the unlikely symbol. I am right despite your being right about the unlikely part.

            He’s White. That’s all they care about. He’s male: that’s all you care about. Just as So and So owning slaves is all the iconoclasts care about.

    Perhaps looking for a “political integrity” that never existed? Although I don’t necessarily agree with Jim’s take on the resistance Left, or the reasons to remove a sitting president, I can sympathize with the intent to find decency and honesty in public governance.

    A deepening wound of age is cynicism.

    Perhaps lacking depth or understanding of the larger game, but removing Trump isn’t much more than removing a drunk uncle at a party. The irony is Trump doesn’t even drink and he carries on like that.

    One thing we can agree is we are living real-time in a state of flux. We keep on redrawing the maps every day to calculate and contemplate our options and direction. What can we really rely on? Nut trees – yup, finished your book.

  5. NickelthroweR June 22, 2020 at 10:32 am #

    Greetings,

    I am of the opinion that things are just beginning to heat up. Fear is the greatest motivator and all it would take would be a few days of hunger and a few weeks without our medications to get the genocide going. After all, 1 in 4 adult women have to take an anti-psychotic in order to function and if you think BLM and the rioters are crazy then just wait until the Karens have to go cold turkey.

    I, along with 8 million other people, watched Trump’s speech and he clearly pointed the finger at the Democrats as being the cause of the civil unrest. He will continue to pound this theme and once the truckers refuse to deliver food to the democratic strongholds because of the violence, all bets are off. Americans will watch live as the Democrats burn down what is left of their cities and that will be the final straw and the genocide will begin in earnest.

    • Nightowl June 22, 2020 at 10:52 am #

      Indeed. I saw clips from the speech, and it was quite effective. Granted, he has so much material to work with that he should be effective.

      With regard to the riots, his strategy of hanging back is pretty genius, as it forces the non-compliant politicians in the cities being burnt to act. And it appears he is going to let the rioters continueon until those politicians do act.

      They have sown the seeds of their own destruction.

      • benr June 22, 2020 at 11:04 am #

        Trump was funny as hell.
        The part about leather bottomed shoes and the General walking down the steel ramps was a riot.

        When I was a young man I was invited to work at the Hollywood Christmas parade 1987 parking cars for celebrities and met many a celeb.
        At the time I had a pair of leather bound souls and they were in fact slick on certain surfaces so much so I actually fell running to get Ernest Borgnines car. His comment to me was no scratches no dents on his Mercedes as he handed me a $20.
        I still have the red wind breaker from the event.
        The biggest tipper of the night was Pia Zidora with a crisp 100 dollar bill for her cushy very swank rolls royce with 2 inch carpet.
        Worst tipper of the night was Karate Kids Cobra Kai dojo master Marten Kove who I had to actually look up his name he gave us valets zip. What a douche.

        Most stoned of the night was Malcom Jamal Warner with a still burning joint in the ash tray!

      Things will be horrendous in this country following the election—no matter who wins the election—-but I don’t think we’ll have to wait until November for the shooting to start. Many rent eviction moratoriums are ending this summer, and July 31 is the cutoff point for the additional $600 unemployment insurance payouts, so a lot of people are going to be in worse financial circumstances soon. The economy will worsen due to increased defaulting. The summer heat will drive people crazy, also. I have a sick feeling it’s going to get very scary. Something…somewhere…is going to happen— a mass shooting incident of some kind—and it will completely coarsen and Balkanize this country. Anyway…have a nice week!!

    • Sredni Vashtar June 22, 2020 at 1:16 pm #

      Yes, the presence of massive numbers of young white women is an amazing factor in the unrest. And yes, they are quite mad even when not rioting.

      Starving out the cities is the plan. Refugees will be turned back by armed barricades when things really get going – and blown bridges and roads. Water? Power? Who are the guys who know about those things? And are those assets vulnerable to the deplorables or what?

      If you are trapped behind enemy lines, get out while you still can.

    The mob tore down the statue of Francis Scott Key b/c he had once owned slaves, tore down the statue of Pres. Grant who led the Union forces to victory b/c he owned one slave who he gave his freedom to in 1859 and spray painted a statue of Cervantes who was once a slave himself. Here’s the article: https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article243696912.html

    This frenzy of implacable anger, fueled by an ignorant interpretation of history, will turn on them eventually — the question is when? Police are undermined and the Army has taken an “heroic” stand not to send troops to quell violence (they prefer foreign travel) so it could get uglier.

    Of all the people out marching for “social justice” I have to wonder how many are recipients of federal assistance in the form of Medicaid, social services and food stamps?

    • akmofo June 22, 2020 at 10:46 am #

      The reason the police and the army are not involved is because the left of the gov mafia knows exactly what the right hand of the gov is doing.

            You are in Israel and I’m in Seattle. Earth to akmofo!

            And it does piss me off. I had to do my time with the American Map on one side of the room showing all 48 states next to the big red USSR map. It was a scam by the way. It turns out most of the USSR was FROZEN. Most of the cities in Russia are north of even Canadian Cities. Alaska is comparable in latitude.

            The dual flags at the same height, total scam.

            But back on topic. I was born here you skipped out if you are even American to begin with akmofo. Or perhaps you are one of the paid actors and you do live here after all. Regardless go fuck yourself. You are part of the problem.

            I was never an American, and never claimed to be. I only visited the US. But I deeply admire its Founding Principles and Founding Fathers, and you don’t.

            As for being a “warmonger”, you commies are biggest fscking mass murderers on the planet. There is not a place on the planet where your bloody mass murder and mass destruction has not set a record.

            You don’t build a future, you destroy the future. And you delete the present and the past. You are the same diseased nihilism as the fascist jihadis and the nazis because you all were spawned by the same satanic Medusa — THE VATICAN.

            Capt,

            Actually, I think it would be a very good idea for our commie poooch to visit a Kibbutz. He might get a dose of reality of how things actually work by people that actually did work and built a country. Kibbutzniks were people that believed in Nationalism and defending the land from alien and hostile parties.

            Everything that you commies are about opposes that and is at war with reality, from your alternative gay sexual relations to your abortion lifestyle to your economic political and cultural theories that bring nothing but death. You are so divorced from reality, so unself aware, that you can’t even understand that if your parents thought and did the same as you, you would not exist!

        ‘But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
        That will disclose
        What everybody knows

        And,

        To be afraid of being on a list is ridiculous. I’ll guess I’m on dozens by now. So what? Let them make their stupid lists. At the end of the day their lists won’t mean a damn thing. I admit that when I first found out what was going on here I did not feel this way and I was totally freaked out, but that is OK. I’m giving you the benefit of my experience. It was a long adjustment and I can make it easier for you.

        Don’t get me wrong, I think it surveillance is wrong but what is a dog to do? Sleep all day? That is no good. And one way or another ‘they’ are going to make their lists. It is what they do and thousands of paychecks are involved.

        Hundreds of people read internet comments here and never grow an opinion of their own or polish it in a brutally critical realm such as this is? Passive sponges soaking it in but making no contributions. The same small minority posts over and over again. We need more. Did you all not know that you only live once.

          I can see a world where all collective activity ceases. All it would take is a virus that the immune system cannot build immunity against. That is the most dangerous assumption, that it builds immunity. Maybe?

      Turnout was about 12k, based on what I read. Pretty good given the fact that they imposed a curfew the night before (in order to drive the attendees who camped out away), allowed BLM thugs to swarm the entrance, and hyped the Coroneau threat.

      The online numbers were through the roof though, which is in line with the times.

      At the Biden event, you could count the attendees on your hand. And the best part is that you know they put those giant circles there because they knew no one was coming anyways.

      In2016, it looked like Trump would do something for the little people against the elite. He has: he has tweeted. They’re not excited anymore, not the way working class whites were in 2016.

      No one will be excited for Biden. But he doesn’t motivate people to vote against him like SHE did. Trump,meanwhile, is going to drive up the vote of those who oppose him.

      He had 2 years to do something. He delivered a tax cut that benefitted large capital the most (and most taxpayers, even in blue states. But it wasn’t needed, or anywhere near the first priority. Healthcare, sure.) He never used the Federal Government to defend the civil rights of his supporters.

    “cowardly and dishonest”

    Nothing describes the left’s antics better than this. I completely agree with Jim’s assessment of our current political climate.

    Trump’s election was the shot heard round the world in this modern age. The left’s ‘resistance’ has been nothing more than a temper tantrum. We put Trump in office, not because we love Trump, or believe he is some kind of savior. We put him in office because of what HE IS NOT.

    He is not a politician. He’s not a globalist. He’s an American, warts and all, he doesn’t speak with a polished vocabulary, or in the hypno-tones of our nanny state handlers, he speaks for US.

    The left’s response to his election demonstrates EXACTLY what so many in America were objecting to in 2016.It proves that we were right to elect him.

    American’s WILL NEVER BEND THE KNEE.

    Trump is my President, he has my vote and support in the next election, and for the next four years until we get another.

    • bluedog June 22, 2020 at 11:50 am #

      Of course not he was put in office because he was a reality star,I wondered how dumb the American people are and they continue to surprise me on their ignorance, for Trump was the ONE who was picked by the 1% to sit in the oval office, after all look at Clinton’s failure to campaign in the to close states, how easy it would have been to flip the vote to Clinton in the to close to call states, and yet the uneducated cling like some comfort blanket to the idea that Trump was all red white and blue and gave a rats ass about the people,I got news for you Trump cares little for the country and nothing all about the people,If you can prove different I would be glad to hear it…

          Their actions really don’t have to be reconciled since they have not been in charge.

          Calling the orange man bad does not change the fact that the orange man is bad, very bad. His lack of empathy for the plight of the common man. His disregard for science. His disregard for women. All of it appalling. You can take you straw man and put it where the sun does not shine.

          Russiagate was a farce because America is owned by Homeland Security and everyone is their bitch. It was a farce because the Deep State supports the incumbent. That is what they get paid to do, It is their raison d’être. The FBI does not get paid to write white papers on political theory and are not going to support who you think because you think it makes more sense. The FBI gets paid to follow your ass and find out who you know and what you are up to. If you are worth following or if they think so. More of the if they think so for sure. But leaving the technical reasons why Russiagate is a farce aside.

          Your argument is an example of the Straw Man logical fallacy.

          Orange Man Bad is pure straw man. Look it up.

        No one voted for Trump because he was a reality star, Lots of folks like me, who turned their cable off years ago due to the “reality” bullshit TV, never personally liked Trump. It’s just that he was the only voice out there espousing what rank and file middle class white voters wanted for the country. Control the border, complete moratorium, bring manufacturing back, stop the endless stupid wars, bring back law and order etc. but alas, it hasn’t happened due in no small part that essentially everyone in DC was working against him, Dems. and the GOP alike. He wasn’t part of their club. One thing you are right about Bluedog (as in bluedog democrat obviously) is the stupidity of the American voter, bluedog Dems like you the most idiotic of the lot.

            Trump embodies the tragicomedy of the age, really. His gut knows the path we’re on is toward calamity but he’s too lacking in virtue and intellect to press another path.

            Though even if he had that virtue and intellect, I think the entrenched bureaucracy and permanent government would act against him. Their new religion seems quite absolute and they’ve all, at least publicly, the zeal of the convert.

He did not long ago say that we needed more immigrants, which was an amazingly stupid thing for him to say. He should have used his executive privilege for better or worse. Anything he could do with an executive order concerning immigration, war, bringing manufacturing back, etc. should have been tried.

      Finally, an intelligent commentator on this blog. People don’t get it. The Left is making a lot of noise, and giving the apparency that they comprise a large part of our population. They don’t. They’ve moved to far Left and they have destroyed themselves. They, and those looking at them from the outside, don’t realize that they are in a crash and burn phase. It is over for the Dem Party. They are going extinct. They have and continue to suicide themselves out of the political spectrum. They were declining earlier, then they lost in 2016 and freaked out and went into a radical Leftist position (which will be their undoing) and now they are desperate and out of control due to losing and will do anything to regain power. Just sit back and watch them continue to destroy themselves. Their leaders are low IQ and the Globalist/Commie movement behind them can only blow up too because of their evil and unworkable ideology. Nationalism is coming back. The political elites and all of their connections are going down (and this includes media, academia, entertainment). Good riddance!

    Saturday in Tulsa, Mr. Trump made the signal error of bragging on the latest highs in the stock markets. Hasn’t he learned by now what a flimsy representation of reality that is?

    He is talking his book, as they say inWall Street. I recall Hillary in 2016 complaining that Trump would cause a market crash, and didn’t people worry about their retirement money. She didn’t know and Trump hasn’t learned that the MEDIAN retirement savings in the USA is $5000. So for half the people, a stock market crash causes no pain, and maybe some pleasure as the elite loses money.

    That half of the people WAS screwed over by the lockdowns. He needs to address those people, white and black (like George Floyd, who was unemployed by the lockdown and probably cash-strapped enough to need to try to pass a counterfeit $20).

        Makes a pretty convincing case that Floyd was a goner, no matter what. But he would have died out of the limelight without his having been arrested for passing a $20, which he would have had less need to do if still working and earning money. Has the governor ever taken responsibility for causing his unemployment?

          Thats what they do.Keep probing,and probing,and probing…Then the Truth reveals itself…

          Then the Jury starts doing jumping jacks screaming “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” All for nothing…

          I always shirked the jury duty by never answering notices.Just once in my life I was a panel member (enlisted) at the General Court Martial.

          Accused Brother not only was duly convicted.He broke down,started sobbing then his sorry a$$ was dragged to Hell (Army Stockade Ft.Leavenworth,Ks).

          No Soledad Brothers BS.No Angela Davis-type lawyer to smuggle weapons into the prison cell to facilitate Brother’s escape and kill ray-ciss Judge and 2-3 ray-ciss panel members like me.That was the end.

    So I went down to the BLM protest in my town Saturday to get my fair share of abuse. This is the 3rd BLM protest in the suburbs around where I live. None of the 3 were covered by the local news. Smart move on the part of the local officials.

    It was mixed crowd of black and white with all age groups. There was perhaps 70 – 80 people in the protest . They walked 3/4 of a mile chanting black lives matter and 8:46 . Then a black female agitator gave a canned speech about racism in the most angry and hateful tones. This failed to arouse any response from the crowd. She was even called as a liar by one of the members of the town school board members. When she said the school board would not let the BLM protest on school grounds. This too failed to excite the mob.

    There were plenty of police there local and state. The email sent out by the town supervisor could be paraphrased like this. ” BLM is not going to tear up my town and burn it down. Which as a resident made me feel alot safer.

    So this is the most flaccid uninspired revolution in recent history.

      In 2019, exactly 9 unarmed black men were killed by police, and every one of them violently resisted arrest. The only reason they were unarmed is because they couldn’t seize the cops gun in the struggle.

      George Floyd was a career criminal and a drug addict, a home invasion artist whose m.o. was holding single women at gunpoint while his posse ransacked her house. At the time of death Floyd was frothing at the mouth, resisting arrest, dosed on meth and fentanyl. The whole f#kkn thing is a con job.

      Civil War statues are the most boring historical items associated with the war. (let’s not touch on the statues of Jefferson, Washington here) Anything else is more interesting. Whether those are historical items, book accounts, or visiting the battlefields and plantations.

      Just don’t tell any of the marxists that a few of us here and there keep a collection of century old Victor 78 records labeled in the genres of “minstrel” and “darky”.

    “The dollar will die. And then we get out the guns and roll into D.C.”

    Killing a runner has never ended the numbers racket. Killing a whore will not end prostitution. 49% of the American populace are below average intelligence – and the distribution above the average leaves that mean between average and the highest practically empty.

    “These selfish fucks have fucked us all.” Do you have a full length mirror in your home?

    Reading zerohedge FWIW they are running a piece about 30% of home payments were missed in June. What are the banks going to do? Not a damn thing in this climate.

    One thing I do find funny about this is that for decades I have been mocked by the nice white progressives for being on the dumb end of the political spectrum. Now I get to laugh as the D-party is swarmed by people who can barely feed themselves.

    FTR I am not a conservative, conservatism is that useless appendage to liberalism that makes constant pleas to some supposed common ground, sure.

    • JohnAZ June 22, 2020 at 12:01 pm #

      You are so fast to say I am not a conservative.

      Why?

      A conservative is someone who believes in individual responsibility. Some one who does not believe it is the government’s job to support people. No hand outs, but hands up. It is the individual’s job to take care of themselves, to provide for themselves and their families. Do you believe in taking care of yourself? Then wear the label proudly, you are part of the solution and not the problem.

      Liberals have figured out that to maintain power, promise people money, tell them you, as the government, will take care Of them and give them free stuff. Bring in people from outside that have lived by the credo and educate your indulged children that they will get everything free. Their problem? They have no money to make their gimme miracles happen.

      Make your choice Nov. 3. That is what this election is all about.

      • newworld June 22, 2020 at 12:17 pm #

        No a conservative is that dope who endlessly chases the “Liberal” making stupid appeals to the commonality amongst them, and here we are John. Keep the Dittoes Magik to yourself.

        I was going to post a link for the Center-Left here about an essay by all men Sam Harris, but I got sidetracked by JohnAZ and his need to Hannitize me. Sometimes Rome burns and goes from a million people at the Empire’s center to a goat corral with a few thousand malnourished people for a few centuries.

        Any way Sam Harris is not long for respectability he sounded reasonable about policing that 13% of the population which produces a large share of reportable crimes.

        “Liberal” ROFLOL

        • JohnAZ June 22, 2020 at 12:33 pm #

          Too bad you think that Hannity is such a bad guy. He stands for individual responsibility and folks taking care of themselves.

          Your reference to Rome is solid. Historians agree that the international mob that the Empire became was the primary cause of Rome’s downfall. IOW, the loss of individual integrity caused the downfall.

          Sound familiar?

          • Sredni Vashtar June 22, 2020 at 2:09 pm #

            There were few Romans left in Rome at the end. The Legionaires stayed in the Provinces were they served and married local women – or sent for their wives from home. There was nothing to go back to. The old contract of serving twenty odd years and then getting land to farm was dead. The Elite had sucked up all the land for themselves.

            Under the old order, you could come home and be somebody, not just a drunk in a bar with a lot of good stories. So they stopped coming home.

            A liberal wants to live his life as he pleases, and he wants you to do the same. A conservative thinks he or she knows the right way to live, and he wants to tell you how to live yours too.

Everyone knows the T-Rex was a meat-eating, environment destroyer. Few realize he really helped fight climate change. He ate a lot of Triceratops, and it was well-known they released a ton of methane into the air, as they were ruminants. Their farts were legendary. And now they’re getting of old T. Madness.

        • beantownbill. June 22, 2020 at 6:00 pm #

          With all due respect, I disagree with you. Everything you describe about the city is true (although I’ve never inspected a rat’s asshole to see how dirty it is). However, IMO those qualities make the city more alive and exciting than any other in the US, despite its flaws – or maybe because of its flaws.

            That said – I don’t see the cultural point of the city in 2020.
            It’s expensive, stressful, no place to be alone and think (central park lol), and hedonistic.

            Living in the cultural boonies in 2020 – I still have more access to information than I would of had with the Library of Alexandria.

            German cities aren’t that orderly, TBH. But they were largely low-crime for quite a long time.

            When I first got here, people would still leave bikes unlocked in the middle of a bustling city street.

            Things have certainly changed a bit. Germany, like many Euro coutries is a high-trust society. We will have to see if that continues to hold.

    I am not an American. But I have worked with Americans for decades. I like them. They really have a lot of that “can-do” spirit.

    So it’s a mystery why their polical system is so dysfunctional. Last time around, it was Hillary-Trump. And this time it is Biden-Trump! How can a country with so many capable people end up with having to choose between them?

    I am not an American and yet I have a dog in that fight. American socio-politics is now driving the debates in all western countries. Academia and the media everywhere take their marching orders from american campuses and accordingly our media is all BLM and slavery, all the time (shocker: everyone is against slavery and racism!)

    Trump really is an incoherent clown, an egomaniac, unfit for the presidency. And yet Biden is a senile doddering fool, and the Democrats are riding a dangerous Cultural Revolution mob. There is no good choice, but Democrats truly scare me. I’ll root for Trump to win, for lack of a better option, but where are all the grown ups? How come there are no sane candidates?

      Pure Dunning-Kruger if you want it spelled out.

      Patriotism was drummed into the national psche to a level not appreciated following WWII. In the 50s and 60s The national Anthem was sung in America at the start of every school day. You don’t want to sing you got the cane.

      My country ‘tis of thee‘ does one of two things to you. It turns you into a brain dead mindless zombie or if you are cursed with an inability to ignore logical connections it begins to let you know that people are not very smart and that half of what people do is founded on bullshit.

      Vietnam came along and new ways were found by the existing order to package the cannon fodder patriotism message. Before Vietnam the unquestioned attitude was that dying for your country, right or wrong, was the best thing you could ever do. In terms of political awareness this turned dim people into zeros and hobbled the rest of us.

        Disagree on all of your points.

        First of all, overconfidence of the incompetent is nothing new. Why is it an issue all of a sudden? Sure a fool may want to step in. But why are there now nothing but fools to step in, and why is everyone failing to recognize fools as fools all of a sudden?

        Second, I also disagree that an unheard-of level of patriotism appeared after WWII. Since the dawn of history, that species of territorial primates called homo sapiens had an acute sense of tribe loyalty. People were defined by it. It was expected any all able-bodies males would go to war for their tribe. When a society becomes ashamed of itself and unwilling to defend itself, that is generally the sign that it is about to crumble and be booted off by another tribe that is not so self-doubting and squeamish about applying violence

    Honest Conversation About Race….

        ‘Thanks for covering for me man’

        Would have gone a long way. If you guys ran into each other now things would probably be fine.

        Or not, some people are so fucked up age makes it worse not better. But for most people it is better so Bill will be glad to see you. Unless he is walking around:

    JHK, JHK, JHK… So many intelligent people that have such limited understanding of how our monetary/fiscal system works in this country (post gold standard, 1971). And, it amazes me how these false idée fixe remain fixed, and how they refuse to open their minds and inspect.

    Jim: The Federal Reserve does not print money. The Fed can only lend. The Fed implements monetary policy. It is the Congress/Federal Government/US Treasury that prints money. They implement fiscal policy. The Fed Reserve is the bank of the US Government and follows the governments directions. They were created by Congress and have certain mandates and Congress can pull or change their charter any time they want (or abolish The Fed if it so wanted… buy why, it is only a central bank). You are looking at the wrong target: it isn’t The Fed, it is Congress.

    (Note: The book, “The Creature From Jeckyll Island” and all others of that ilk are categorically incorrect. They spew false information and conspiracy theories and confuse the citizens of the USA. WE NEED THE TRUTH!)

    The Fed Reserve does not levitate the stock market. The Federal Reserve can not destroy the value of the USD.

    Come off your idée fixes, open your mind, and read Stephanie Kelton’s, “The Deficit Myth” and once you’ve absorbed and analyzed the information I guarantee that you will have significantly reoriented opinons about what is going on here in the USA, and what our TRUE concerns should be.

    Wow…the Wallstreet Journal has no shame. Latest article reports how they have nothing new to report about Officer Chauvin…his life is a mystery of white privilege. In other words, they didn’t find any dirt on him other than the few complaints about use of force. *shake my head*
    Did any of the “investigative” reporters look into how many minority officers graduated with Chauvin? Did anyone look into what they teach in Minneapolis police academy? You know what….I think Chauvin’s only crimes are behaving in school, upholding the laws, protecting the public from dangerous men and surviving 19 years in the force and ALMOST collecting ALL his pension.

    • amb June 22, 2020 at 4:06 pm #

      Many would say that Chauvin did the world a favor by exterminating another sociopathic, evil criminal. Worthless to society. An actual drag on society. An embarrassment to the African-American population. Yet, a police officer doesn’t have the authority to exterminate or execute, and we can’t allow the rule of law and law enforcement regulations to be violated. Chauvin was a minor atrocity when you look at the big picture of law enforcement in our country. The majority of law enforcement are decent people. We do need a fully revised vetting and filtering system in the areas of law enforcement, security, military, etc. to do our best to keep unqualified people from entering those ranks (and causing destruction to these institutions). Yet, anyone who doesn’t realize that there will always be some “bad apples” in the areas of our society is simply naive. Wake up and smell the coffee. We as a society do much more good than we do harm.

      • Karah June 22, 2020 at 4:15 pm #

        I believe if there are truly bad cops out there…they will be exposed in WAY LESS than 19 years…probably within the first 2 years and someone is going to take them out if they do not resign. Too bad the bad apples are buried with full honors.

  32. Q. Shtik June 22, 2020 at 3:59 pm #

    scoubidou123,

    Late last night in the previous thread I left a comment/advice for you which you may have missed so I am re-posting it here with some needed modifications.

    Scoubidou123,

    I don’t think you have been around these parts long enough to realize when you are wasting your breath. But I’ll credit you with giving it the good ol’ college try. At least you have been able to demonstrate your expertise in all things Catholic which I notice makes religious types of whatever stripe feel good about themselves. Ultimately, though, it’s a colossal waste of your time unless you are practicing for the debate team.

    You managed to crank out 6 posts in as many minutes from 10:52 thru 10:57 am on June 20 and another 6 posts from 11:11 am thru 12:46 pm. Surely you wrote and saved these in some Word type program and then pulled them into the CFN comment section one by one. As though you had any chance of convincing obtaining a respectful reading and reply by the person to whom your posts were directed.

    Please believe me it is a lost cause. When you finally realize this you will do the sensible thing that I have done and which has taken me the better part of 12 years to see the light as to how situations like these should be handled. Namely, to cease totally and forever all communication with rude, abrasive, and impossible people. Let them know your low opinion of them by never typing their name or making reference to them.

    • scoubidou123 June 22, 2020 at 6:55 pm #

      Thanks Shtik.

      As I wrote in one of my posts, I was not exactly thinking I’d convince shmoko.

      I am not a religious type. But every now and then, it’s a good idea to take out the trash and confront antisemites, islamophobes or catholicophobes before they stink up the place.

      Besides, if in the process I expose a few facts that were not widely known about a common myth, and teach a select few CFN readers a thing or two, what’s the harm?

      • Soul Forensics June 22, 2020 at 7:45 pm #

        scoubidou123,

        I like your spirit, but …

        The harm is twofold:

        1) You waste your time and energy.

        2) Pests and trolls thrive on attention. When you withdraw it, they become increasingly desperate. Then comes an increase in ad hominem, sophistry, hysterical accusations, nutty assumptions, dissembling rhetoric, false equivalencies, bizarre damnation-by-association, off-topic emotional anecdotes, attacking personalities and not complex structures and psychological, historical truisms, and, when (not if) all approaches fail, to label you “racist” or “Nazi”.

        Q. Shtik is right. You can make the points you want to without replying directly, tagging, or mentioning the pestiferous posters in question. They’ll still ‘thrive’, because there’ll always be people fooled into engagement (or those who just like to duel for sport), but you don’t have to be one of them.

        Regarding 1) above, when I read and scroll comments, I automatically flash by half of them just by spotting the name.

          They didn’t say much, just that they are moving out there starting in a few months (once their lease is expired) and it’s extremely out of character for them. It was mostly them talking up the new location and not mentioning the current troubles in any way at all.

    And what if the Federal Reserve’s stupid trick of money-printing destroys the value of the dollar per se? That’s hardly a far-out scenario.

    Contrary to AMB’s above post, the Fed causes money to be printed.

    What if the Reserve’s actions destroys the value of the dollar? WHAT IF? The dollar is long a dead currency walking, save for Saudi Arabia’s continuing demand to be paid in dollars for their oil, and being backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Marine Corps. The currency has been brought low, but does not reflect it’s relative value against other currencies for the two above reasons. Soon, however, this will change, and the dollar will plunge in value overnight. 75%, maybe more.

          The Ruger Security-Six was a workhorse, and a few Ruger salesmen were said to delight in running their samples over with their cars, after which they would fire some impressive scores with these same guns. Even today, after multiple thousands of rounds, a Security-Six will rarely wear out, which is why you don’t see many of them for sale. When you do, they may be battered externally, but internally they remain functional. Although the Security-Six was built like a tank, perhaps it is more fitting to say a tank was built like the Security-Six.

            Another testimonial dipshit!
            My Security Six is 1979 vintage – stainless – which I inherited from my Dad. It has tens of thousands of rounds through it over the decades. However, the revolver still looks and feels like brand new right out of the box. By looking at it and handling it, one could never guess the amount of rounds placed down the tube during its lifetime. So far, that is. Many more to come! My Grandkids will surely enjoy it.

            During Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s, soldiers knew very well the more they use their automatic machine guns the more their range decreases.

            This far, in street-to-street fighting in Almuhamara battle, soldiers were taking two of those machine guns a head – range-degradation!

            Yes, firing few 10000s rounds over a decade is OK, but try to do it in 3-hours time.

            Watch videos on youtube showing how tanks are badly performing in Syria.

            They are worse than any SUV!

            They are useless except for killing civilians, children, women, the elderly, unarmed men and destroy civilian infrastructures.

            “Energy, like time, only flows from past to future”.

    If the general body of the US would accept the kill stats for what they are, maybe somebody might do something.

    It is NEVER going to happen. Accepting the evil that is Black Chicago is admitting that the Black Culture in the US is its own worst enemy. They are racist, their social structure is a failure, the lack of responsible males, Fathers, in society makes things dysfunctional.

    BLM is a fact. It is really too bad that the people who need to believe that, the Blacks, don’t. Three Blacks killed by cops over the last two weeks, okay, shut down the cities, loot and destroy. 104 Blacks shot in Chicago, not a peep.

    ” Those monuments are just metaphors for those who they would really like to behead.

    Brh ”

    I must admit I’m a bit —PERVERSELY — gratified.

    Gratified ?

    You would have to wade back through a years , or two years , worth of blog posts to find it ,

    but I predicted ( no psychic powers here ) that flag – waving Americans were very foolish to be complacent about the trashing of Confederate monuments.

    As they used to say in Gulag , ” Me today , you tomorrow ! ”

    It sets a precedent , and they will be coming for your ass tomorrow.

    Certainly one of the lessons of my country is that you are not always going to win the war , win the vote , be rich and popular.

    God help you then if , when you were in the catbirds seat , you rubber – stamped all this shit.

    Maybe it wouldn’t make any difference anyway ?

    But , certainly, you gave your enemies the best , truest , most accurate , factual argument possible ;

    When the shoe was on the other foot , you said it was fine and dandy.

    And what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

    Didn’t Christopher Columbus die about 300 years before anyone ever heard of the United States ??

    They already tore down all the Confederate monuments in New Orleans , so when I heard they had torn down another statue , I was afraid it was the Joan of Arc statue ;

    A French teenage girl who died in 1432.

    Nope , turned out it was some 18th century guy I never even heard of.

    Perhaps that’s actually worse ? At least Joan of Arc has the thin excuse of having been broadly famous.

    But here’s a guy for whom even history geeks draw a blank.

      About thirty years ago The Los Angeles Times voted Voltaire as the greatest radical free-thinker of all time.

    The sensitivity of the matter also can’t be overstated, since the obvious implication in Mr. Barr’s carefully chosen phrases is that this is a case of sedition, which could send some of them to prison for a long time, and blow up some cherished narratives of the Resistance. And he is pursuing it in the face of a coming election — which presents additional new opportunities for Jacobin mischief in messing with the voting process.

    I can but strongly disagree. As the highest non-judicial law officer in the land, Barr is egregious and execrable – he is behaving totally as the personal attorney of Trump, and totally abusing his role.

    He doesn’t drive the Left nuts because he is right – but because he is so dreadfully awful, and is taking the role of Attorney General down a very dark hole that will take a long time to recover from. He is Deep Swamp and Deep State par excellence.

    Why did he claim that the Head of the SDNY Attorney’s Office (Gerald Berman) had resigned, in a late Friday night press release that was both false and incompetent? How was he so stupid (or arrogant) to get it so wrong? And why did Trump want Berman out? There are only two possible reasons: (1) retribution for something Berman had done, and (2) to prevent him from doing something in the future, especially if Trump loses – blatant obstruction of justice.

    Fearing a loss in November, Trump wants a very friendly ally heading that office – the cases that potentially come from the SDNY can be devastating for Trump, Giuliani, and the whole Rat Pack.

    And this mendacious piece of work then attacked mail-in ballots, claiming that “foreign power” could print thousands (Trump “millions!”) of fraudulent ballots and rig an election. Even if we set aside the fact that the only two nations who would have the capacity and motive to do so would be China and Russia, both of whom do not want Trump to lose, every mail-in ballot has a unique barcode, and security is good.

    He might as well have just invited Putin and Xi to start such a program, such was the blatant falsehood of his claim.

    There is no “evil genius” at work here – Barr is mendacious, lick-spittle, and above all very stupid. He shares these qualities with the whole Republican cabal, and their puppet-masters.

    He wants to drive the US back to some iron-fisted theocracy – a 16th Century religious state run by the modern equivalent of the Medici Popes, where only the ruling class and a few trusted middle-class, god-fearing, functionaries are allowed to vote.

    Trump and Barr fear true democracy, and full enfranchisement, and they are using every Deep State tactic that they can engage in, in order to achieve their evil ends. They don’t even bother to try and cover what they are doing.

    The nation will breath a huge sigh of relief when this crowd is run out of town … I just wish someone other than Joe Biden was leading the charge.

        Classic ‘whataboutery’. Whatever take anyone has of the Democratic caucuses’ behaviour – either correctly or not – does not excuse these blatant Obstructions of Justice by President Chlorox and SideKick Barr.

        From the sacking of various IGs, who were simply doing their jobs, to this egregious ousting of Berman for myriad reasons – all to do with the personal (and thereby political) needs of POTUS.

        It’s just Comey all over again when Himself even admitted on TV that he had sacked the FBI Director to (he miscalculated) shut down the Russia investigation.

        It sticks out like dog’s balls.

          I’m pissed the left has botched and ditched hard environmentalist stances. It’s driving me to the right. It’s hard for me to comprehend actually caring about political back and forths so obviously full of garbage, or who’s president, which party ascends, given the choices. Imo the left is now trying just as hard as the right to ignore core issues that it used to make some attempt to address, mainly through the environmentalism of two or three decades ago.

          • Kakadu Man June 22, 2020 at 10:48 pm #

            I’m pissed the left has botched and ditched hard environmentalist stances.

            I couldn’t agree more … I came to this site and blog many years ago via the Peak Oil / Resource Misuse / Geography of Nowhere stances taken on it. I still love Eyesore of the Month … even though they nearly all make me shake my head in wonder.

            And it’s also why I think the Democrats are a very conservative party, despite attempt on here to brand them “commies” and hand-maidens of the “Deep State”, and all the rest. They are very straight – but they are losing most of the time in a pretty hard-right environment.

            I also think it’s rather unfair & unbalanced to suggest my post about Barr is “partisan”, when so many other partisan posts – some of them extreme indeed – are let through to the catcher without a similar comment.

    I am sincerely wondering what the fuck you are talking about. His “clownishness?” Dude. What the fuck are you referring to? Trump is a comedian and a performer.

    As a performer, he hits the target almost every time with almost everything he says. That’s not clownishness. That’s effective leadership.

      Freud always did say that civilization was at an advance when man could hurl epithets instead of spears to vent anger. His words of wisdom are best remembered when he responded to the Nazi Brown Shirts burning his books at the behest of leadership that would never be content to merely hurl epithets when they could malignantly kill human beings via genocide instead.

    ” But why are there now nothing but fools to step in, and why is everyone failing to recognize fools as fools all of a sudden? ”

    Well , Akfomo may be a bigoted crackpot , but at least he is a blatant and obvious one.

    Since the dawn of history, that species of territorial primates called homo sapiens had an acute sense of tribe loyalty. People were defined by it. It was expected any all able-bodies males would go to war for their tribe. When a society becomes ashamed of itself and unwilling to defend itself, that is generally the sign that it is about to crumble and be booted off by another tribe that is not so self-doubting and squeamish about applying violence

    That’s a pretty good description of warfare among cave – dwelling , cannibal aborigines.

    After that , though , things get a bit more complicated.

    Most military science types — yes , that would include American , British , and Russian military science types — generally agree that the Germans and the Japanese had excellent group loyalty and cohesion , and generally , rather than being ashamed of their societies , were , if anything , over – the – top arrogant about it.

    And the consensus opinion is that the Germans and the Japanese had the best officers and troops in the world.

    They still lost.

    The trouble is , outside of cave – dwelling cannibal aborigines , nine out of ten wars are won by the best shod , most well – fed , all – around most affluent , peasants.

    So , hard work , intelligence , education , and superior virtue wins the day.

    Grr , I just suggested the opposite.

    Germany began the war with the exact same problem it had in the first world war ; Germany is not agriculturally self – sustaining.
    it cannot feed itself.

    The British and the Americans had , together , ten times the navy of Germany , and it would take the Germans 50 years to build an equal navy , and then probably still wouldn’t succeed .

    The first thing the British and the Americans will do is choke off Germany’s food supply , and that is exactly what happened.

    Germany hoped hard work , intelligence , education , and superior virtue would overcome an empty belly.

    It didn’t .

    Germany began the war with oil reserves that only covered one – fourth of their need.

    While petroleum was selling at about 30 cents a gallon , Germany embarked on a crash program to produce synthetic petroleum at about $ 2. 50 a gallon.

    — and Germany’s oil reserves STILL only amounted to one – fourth of their need.

    Germany hoped hard work , intelligence , education , and superior virtue would overcome an empty gas tank.

    It didn’t.

    Bigoted crackpots and fools ?

    Some welfare mom tearing down a statue that symbolizes …. she doesn’t actually know ?

    None of it strikes me as nearly as bizarre , or awful , as a blog devoted to the premise that we are headed for an ox cart world ,

    but chock full of people who absolutely ignore what that is going to mean.

    The first breech – loading rifle , ( that I know of ) was invented by the British in 1760 .

    The British didn’t start equipping their military forces with breech – loading rifles until the 1860’s , a hundred years later.

    Were the British superstitious idiots ? They produced Daniel Defoe and George Washington , so I kinda doubt it.

    No , it takes an elaborate , and very expensive , logistical infrastructure to produce breech – loading rifles in any quantity.

    The exigencies of war , and the incentive of world power , not withstanding.

    What’s dumber than Black Lives Matter ?

    If ox carts are in our future , then it isn’t going to be strapping young men with nothing better to do , in $ 70 k Chevrolet cruisers , with multi – billion dollar computer data bases , and M – 16’s in the trunk.

    Your typical police officer is going to be a retiree on horseback with a flintlock musket.

    ” Name another country that built monuments to traitors? ”

    Where do I start ?

    Let’s start with the United States.

    The naming of its wars is a bit screwy.

    The American Civil War should have been labelled ” II ” , like World War II.

    As best demographers can determine , At least one – third , but probably as high as two – thirds , of British Loyalists in the American Revolution were born and raised in America.

    As for those who did get off the boat three days ago , there were certainly as many of those on the rebel side.

    Lafayette wasn’t from Alabama , Steuben could barely speak English , and at the time nobody would have mistaken Thomas Paine for a North Carolinian.

    The British Empire was not a foreign power . Except for a few , like slaves , and people who sneaked in ,

    It was a pretty safe bet that if the guy was speaking English and standing on American soil , then how he got here was WITH THE PERMISSION of the British Government.

    * Sigh * I don’t know how many times I have pointed out on this blog that George Washington wasn’t some coincidental bystander , he was a British Colonel.

    Lenin , who was a Russian nobleman , was living in Switzerland when World War I began.

    It was the Germany Army that paid his train fare back to Russia , and it wasn’t so that he could volunteer for the Russian Army.

    Well , granted , I don’t suppose there are many monuments to Adolf Hitler ?

    At any rate , he was an Austrian citizen , but avoided the Austrian draft for about four years ( ? ) on grounds of physical insufficiency.

    When war came , it took him only a few days to beg for a spot in the German Army , and he went on to win the Iron Cross , at a time when they weren’t handing out Iron Crosses to enlisted men like candy.

    I guess his health improved.

    In the 1930’s the Comintern in it’s wisdom speculated that Fascism and National Socialism wouldn’t last , and so , because they wouldn’t last , the best thing to do short term was actually to back them.

    So , believe it or not , Comintern orders went out to German Communists to collaborate with the Gestapo in the extermination of their own party !

    I’m sure Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker had their virtues ?

    But I’m sure it is not too – far – fetched to venture that they both made it to the top of the heap in East Germany because they were among the few survivors — of the Communists they , themselves , ratted out to the Gestapo !

    just a short list there.

      As best demographers can determine , At least one – third , but probably as high as two – thirds , of British Loyalists in the American Revolution were born and raised in America.

      I sometimes wonder – when considering alternative history – whether the US would have been far better off waiting another 50 years (when Abolition was growing) and negotiated a peaceful independence, in the way that Australia, Canada, and New Zealand did.

      Those three countries have done pretty well as a result, and enjoy the benefits of the Westminster system of governance.

      Mind you – Australia wouldn’t be the same – being chosen as a penal colony around 1785, when England could no longer send its criminal class to the American colonies. Australia would much more likely have been founded by the French or Dutch.

They also knew it would backfire (Bismarck warned the German Kaizer of this), but the Germans were losing and desperately searching for a reprieve from the war. As predicted, Germans were infected by their version of Communism in the form of Nazism. And we know how Communism always ends. Very badly.

      Now this mental disease has infected the US. My advice to US patriots is to take this disease very seriously and start to actively do something about it. Don’t count on the gov mafia. Don’t wait for others. Organize and get involved yourselves. Take the offence. Go on the hunt!

          No, Lenin was only a quarter I believe. Stalin was not but rather a Georgian. Trotsky was. And most of the Russian Communist Elite were as well. As Solzhenitsyn said, The Russian Revolution wasn’t Russian at all, but rather a Jewish lead coup.

            Yes, tell that to them Jewish KGB who put millions of Jews in Siberian gulags for practicing Judaism and destroyed their families the community and their synagogues. Even the Ethiopian Jews after 2500 of exile were more literate of Judaism then the Soviet Jews after one generation of Vatican Stalinism.

          • Sredni Vashtar June 23, 2020 at 5:11 am #

            Such are the fortunes of war. Stalin realized the Jews had no intrinsic interest in Communism once they turned towards Israel and the United States. It had only ever been their vehicle. Thus naturally he turned against them.

            Millions? Oh come now!

          • akmofo June 23, 2020 at 5:57 am #

            The Jews never had any interest in Communism. They were reading the TaNaKh in the Yeshiva in their poor shtetls and couldn’t care less for your latest flavour of Vatican Satanism. But the second you can count a couple of talented people of Jewish exceptions, well then that thousandth of a percent now becomes DA JOOOOOOS. By your kind of dishonestly, the English the Irish the Scotts were Nazis and Commies and Zionists and every other flavour of -ism that exists under the sun, and the same for all others like the French Germans Americans etc. Only that unlike the others, DA JOOOOOOS actual participation in politics at that time was next to ZERO. So your disgusting dishonesty is even more glaring when it comes to DA JOOOOOOS.

    ” This from the hypocrite …”

    I have consistently argued , and even before I came here , that all humans are assholes , including me.

    Emm , not sure exactly where hypocrisy enters into that.

    ” This from the hypocrite that talks about other people coming into her house uninvited. ”

    I guess you have to throw , ” hypocrite ” in there because otherwise you simply have no argument there.

    I’m simply stating a fact.

    The internet , in general , may be ” neutral ground. ”

    Specifically , it is nothing of the sort.

    A person who dislikes , or is indifferent too , or doesn’t have a stake in , Barbie Dolls , wouldn’t be loitering around a Barbie Doll chat .

    I’m sure that would strike most people as very weird. Something very wrong there.

    One of the bizarre characteristics of the modern secular state is that it has somehow convinced people not to see really questionable shit in politics / ideology ,

    where , if they saw the same thing in any other context , they would see the cockroach on the wedding cake.

    You want to make friends and chat ?

    No doubt there are 500 , if there are 5 , Scottish or UK internet sites for exactly that purpose.

    No doubt at least 50 where you make friends with folks who want to chat about politics , news , and the meaning of life.

    A person with a wonderful life , and living in a wonderful country , doesn’t go to a Yemeni , or Guatemalan , or Zambian internet site to hang out.

    That just doesn’t make any fucking sense.

    To talk about what ?

    ” Hello . ”

    ” Good Bye. ”

    ” Have a nice day. ”

    And you’re fucking done .

    Criticize the Zambians ? The criticism would be totally fucking pointless. Like an Eagle criticizing a turtle for crawling around in the mud , not going to live in the sky instead.

    Offer advice to the Zambians which , nine times out of ten , they can in no way act upon ?

    No , going to a Yemeni , or Guatemalan , or Zambian internet site to hang out only makes sense if you plan to go there and live in a tent and dig wells in hundred degree heat for a stipend ,

    Or maybe they are at war , and you want them to throw you in the front line !

    ( At least there , whatever his Austrian faults , Hitler’s logic and motives make a lot more sense than yours. )

    Certainly then you would have a lot to talk about , since you are practically one of them anyway.

    A person with a wonderful life , and living in a wonderful country ….

    For the most part I have only mentioned East Germany by way of identification ,

    And yesterday was the FIRST TIME I even mentioned my part of Appalachia .

    The politics and ideologies of you people today is like your movies ;

    Your movies HAVE TO have success – oriented narratives , they HAVE TO have happy endings , because otherwise the story is complete garbage , and / or utterly incoherent.

    The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu , 5,000 years ago was right ;

    If you actually have a wonderful life and live in a wonderful country , there is little or nothing in that to talk about.

    People crow incessantly about such things because it’s not quite true , or not true at all.

    I once lived in a nice place , and I live in a nice place now.

    And …….. that’s pretty much the end of that essay.

    I tacked on a wall of text , not because of that , but because the guy asked , ” Where should I go ? ”

    And there wasn’t much political meat and potatoes in that , either.

    My advice , basically , was to identify a demographic he likes , never mind money or status , find a place where that demographic is 90% of the population. Go there. Stay there. Don’t complain.

    Otherwise , wonderful lives and wonderful countries are Marie Antoinette’s , ” Let them eat cake. ”

    Offensive not because it is insulting , ( actually I don’t think that was Marie Antoinette’s intent ) but because it is utterly irrelevant.

    No , there isn’t any practical , sensible , or good reason for a person with a wonderful life , living in a wonderful country ,

    to loiter about a Yemeni , or Guatemalan , or Zambian internet site .

    Majella trotted out a self – defense excuse , which doesn’t hold water .

    You don’t thumb your nose at , make jokes about , or condescend to , people you are afraid of.

    “When and why the FUCK has Clusterfuck become so irrationally partisan? ”

    — Ricksinger.

    Well , I suppose JHK is sick of being told what he should do ,

    but he might start with throwing out all the foreigners who have no discernible good , or reasonable / practical , reason for being here.

    — And I don’t mean Mexican immigrants sneaking across the border. They HAVE thrown in their lot with America , one way or another.

    — And we don’t seem to have any of those on CFN.

        I have no problem with you .

        You frankly admit you are no friend of the United States. *

        You get points for sincerity .

        * At least that is how I interpret your saying the U.S. should balkanize.

        If North America balkanized , well , maybe New York and New Hampshire would keep the star – spangled banner ?

        Otherwise , in balkanization , the end of the U.S. government is implicit.

        I have no problem with an opponent who paints their opposition in letters ten feet tall.

          I simply tell the truth. And I expose duplicity. As much as I hate what’s happening to the US, it is not undeserved. But unlike Europe, the US still has a chance to redeem itself. There are many people that see what I see. There are many US patriots that love my Hebrew God and want to be guided by his path of life freedom and joy. They need to separate from the diseased satanic Vatican ghettos, declare independence, and return to the founding principles that inspired this country.

          • elysianfield June 23, 2020 at 10:45 am #

            “… what’s happening to the US, it is not undeserved….”

            Mofo,
            There once was a group of Palestinians,
            Residing in peace, in their millions,
            But a book, oddly written,
            Left them all smitten,
            Landless, stateless…snake bitten.

            For a conquering tribe wrote the book,
            Eastern Culture came to the Sook,
            But the Palestinians, not buying,
            In their numbers, began dying
            The IRGUN’s callused hands never shook.

            Now the Palestinians, unassed,
            Dream of peace long since passed,
            Land stolen, Now called Zion,
            With no friends to rely on,
            The invader continually harassed.

            We all have our sins, Mofo….

            That was an interesting video. However, lacking the context of the argument, it’s a little cryptic.

            One perspective that arises is that Palestinians living in the PA areas are suffering under
            a) an apparently corrupt PA system (no surprises there) and
            b) a lack of opportunity & the risk of harassment because they are not Israeli-recognized.

          What you say makes no sense. People go to websites that interest them, so? It has no relationship to whether the Internet is “neutral ground” or not.

          I think Facebook and Twitter have the right to delete inflammatory hate content, but that does not have to mean that they are legally liable for everything that is posted.

    ” And I have to laugh at someone whose income ‘isn’t that large’ but can afford to smoke 60 a day. ”

    I doubt you genuinely laugh about much at all , except where it is at anothers expense.

    Anyway , my GUESS would be that UK cigarette taxes are about like average American cigarette taxes.

    That is , to grow tobacco , transport tobacco , roll them into cigarettes in a factory , market them , and sell them , with a big fat profit tacked on ,

    a pack of cigarettes should cost about 50 cents.

    The rest is tax.

    THAT is just how addicted , just how greedy , you are , to practically robbing your neighbor .

    Unless that was what you were laughing about ?

    Anyway , in my states law there is a loop hole. If you buy pipe tobacco — who the hell , even among smokers , smokes a pipe any more ? — and what the hell is the difference between pipe tobacco and cigarette tobacco ? — and roll your own ,

    then cigarettes are about 30 cents a pack.

    Sorry to disappoint you , but if time is money , then my cigarette habit probably costs less than Elysianfield’s CFN habit.

    * Sticks out my tongue. *

    What I think is a bit funny , is that for someone who doesn’t have a religion , and doesn’t care ,

    you sure sound often enough just like a Holy – rolling , Bible – thumping , piously arrogant Puritan prude.

    Spare me the bullshit about second – hand smoke and your health. If you gave a shit about that , you would be bitching about cars .

            Zero Hedge or ZeroHedge[b] is a libertarian or right-wing financial blog, presenting staff-written articles and aggregating news and opinions from external sources. Zero Hedge, per its motto,[a] is bearish in its investment outlook and analysis, often deriving from its adherence to the Austrian School of economics and credit cycles. While often labeled as a financial permabear, Zero Hedge has also been described as a source of “cutting-edge news, rumors and gossip in the financial industry”.

            Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial analysis, such as conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric that has been associated with the US radical right and a pro-Russian bias.

            This article is attributed to said ‘Tyler Durden’, so not “aggregated”. If in-house, then it falls under the “ non-financial analysis, such as conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric that has been associated with the US radical right” component.

    Fritz Stangl’s wife and daughters swore he was the most gentle and loving father imaginable , and I believe them.

    Heinrich Himmler’s daughter carried a torch for him for 70 years . I damn sure believe her.

    — And it’s not an argument of any kind.

    The nice place I live in ?

    If you want to beat global warming , but are obliged to live in Southern climes , and don’t want to spend a shit load on air conditioning ,

    then find a very narrow mountain valley , but build your house on stilts , because narrow mountain valleys are very prone to flooding.

    My nice life ?

      And here is a pro tip: stop putting a space before a comma, or a question mark, or a period, or anything else, and stop putting a space after quotation marks, or before or after a dash.

      Punctuation is designed to assist the reader comprehend writing more easily – you offend this grossly. If you ever want to be taken the slightest bit seriously (as if that would ever happen) learn the rules of the language FFS.

    Needless to say NickelthroweR if no one else mentioned it to you its too bad because your post is complete bullshit. You casually throw out a complete falsehood that one out of four adult women have to “take an anti-psychotic in order to function”. Where exactly did you find that factoid? Please post a link, or several, doctor. Or are you purposefully conflating old stats on anti-depressant use with anti-psychotics just because its fun to do?

    ” I knew you wouldn’t be able to keep my name out of your posts for long, ”

    Certainly you did , even though you lack psychic powers.

    Because —

    ” I see right through you . ”

    ( I said it first. You despise me , but you see fit to plagiarise me. )

    Of course you do. We are much alike.

    Because we are much alike , I likewise see through your false bonhomie. I was a call girl three years. It’s an ” occupational hazard “.

    Though I would say in my defense , at least you get a blow job , and more , for the act.

    With you atheist and academic types , though , all the peasants ever get for your insincerity is the shaft .

    ( Actually I can’t blame it on prostitution.

    In school the loving snowflake teachers looked the other way , in both East Germany and America , while the cool kids tortured the not – cool kids ,

    and the snowflake teachers pretended it wasn’t even happening at all.

    That’s where I learned that truth. )

    ” I knew you wouldn’t be able to keep my name out of your posts for long, ”

    Technically speaking , your name was merely included in that of a list of foreigners whose reasons for being here are dubious.

    Unlike you , though , I’ll admit it was no coincidence.

    Just like it was no coincidence that I LEFT OUT Nightowl.

    I occasionally like his posts .

    I did NOT , however , overlook the fact that he did NOT claim his residence in Germany was happenstance , but deliberate , preferred.

    That son of a fucking bitch ! He holds a U.S. passport , and lives on soil my heart bleeds for !!

    So I don’t give a flying fuck what sovereignty issued his birth certificate , like it hardly matters that my birth certificate was issued by a defunct sovereignty I miss.

    I left out his name , because I occasionally like his posts .

    There are damn few coincidences in the demanding art of writing.

    ” …. even when I totally ignored yours, as well as any you might have hoped I’d respond to just so you could stick your oar in. ”

    ” …. even when I totally ignored yours, ”

    LOL , now keeping your poisonous atheist rot out of CFN is some kind of favor to me !

    ” …as well as any you might have hoped ”

    I hope you might choke on a bit of beef and drop dead.

    THAT is my hope.

    No doubt you’ll say I’m cruel , soo cruel ! Sooo mean !

    Another one of your bottom – dragging lies.

    In my cosmology , you might go to Heaven , whether I like it or not .

    In your cosmology ?

    I’ve already been over that. You folks make the Nazis look like softies.

    So , yeah , drop dead. Quit flattering yourself , why don’t you ?

    ” I’ll admit losing my kid brother has been pretty awful.

    But he said the people who loved him were only allowed a week of misery, then they were to get on with their lives, so we’ll do what we can, but it remains awful.

    He was never into power, like you. ”

    like I said , whenever someone really challenges your bullshit ,

    out comes the Brady Bunch Family Resume.

    Really just a variation of Janos’s Social – Darwinism , but without the candor , or the guts.

    It’s touchy – feely , noddle salad , Taster’s Choice sunsets , because if it was a BAD ENDING , or a FAILURE , the argument would be ……..

    well …… there wouldn’t be one.

    The day petroleum and coal cease to be cheap , your reign , and line of bullshit , is at an end.

    — Well , not really. If you survive it , no doubt you’ll then pretend to be religious ,

    Like Frederick the – so -called Great didn’t pretend to be religious ( The son of a bitch could afford to thumb his nose in Sans Souci )

    but never – the – less imposed an iron – fisted Lutheranism.

    ” I’ll admit losing my kid brother has been pretty awful. ”

    I lost my kid brother four years ago.

    And what the fuck has that to do with the fate of North America ?

    Not a God damned thing.

    Well you drag out your kid brother , since I didn’t know him and never will.

    Except I didn’t know him , and it’s your ass I’m after.

    I don’t give a fuck if you write a book about him , it isn’t relevant , as you well know.

    ” But he said the people who loved him were only allowed a week of misery,… ”

    ” Allowed ” ? Lol.

    It appears that , like you , he thought his shit smelled sweeter than the ordinary kind.

    Quite likely , the only reason the anonymous Jack the Ripper is remembered at all , is because some creative crank writer came up with a catchy name.

    And almost certainly , the only reason his victims are remembered , ( Those prostitutes you disdain ( ? ) or resent ( ? ) so much ) is because it was their ….. good luck ( ?? ) …. to make his acquaintance.

    So the people who loved your brother were only allowed ……

    NO !

    Less than that !

    As you well know , you evil deceptive fuck.

    ” … then they were to get on with their lives, ”

    Happens anyway.

    You didn’t know that ?

    Suuuuuuuure you didn’t.

    ” He was never into power, like you. Just love. ”

    Oh , just love ?

    So he was independently wealthy then ?

    Guy only needed love . No bills to pay , nor Beenie Baby collecting habit ?

    Or , you are absolutely , positively , sure that the niggardly dribbles of charity you condescendingly deigned to dispense to him really were appreciated , and that wasn’t just what he was obliged to smile and pretend was so ?

    ” And gave no morality lessons to anyone, again, unlike you – ”

    A MOTHER says no morality lessons to anyone …….. ???

    Are you actually a mother , or is that a God damned lie too ?

    ” … just lived for other people, without even knowing he did. ”

    I don’t , no one has to , come here to read such pap.

    just rent a fucking Disney Movie.

    ( Disney — a multi – billion dollar corporation. So much for , ” Love is all you need .” )

    ” … just lived for other people, without even knowing he did. ”

    Did he die at five years old of starvation ?

    Your math invariably seems to turn to shit when your empty , fuzzy , bullshit dogma is on the line.

    ” He was never into power, like you. ”

    Like I said , I never knew , ” He ” . So it’s un- falsifiable and not arguable.

    ” you still aspire to power. ”

    I aspired to a country you could walk across in three days , tops.

    And even though I’m a girl , if it came to war , I wanted to be in the front lines . I know , unlike most of you fucking fantasists , that modern war is a fucking impersonal meat grinder , and I fear death as much as the next person . but I loved ( at least my ) Germany , loved Prussia ( at least a fantasy of Prussia ) .

    It was Holy ground to me.

    And never mind that , realistically , all that means is bleakness and misery. Someone else will reap the benefits of it , if they do , and I won’t even know them.

    The dead of Agincourt WILL NOT be remembered.

    ” He was never into power, like you. ”

    Sure ! That’s why I would arm waitresses with AK – 47’s , when I don’t , and won’t , even own any arms myself !

    That’s why I point out to people that public schooling is a propaganda organ and a police apparatus !

    That’s why I tell people to educate THEIR OWN children !

    NOT to hand over their children to me and my gang !

    And if , by chance , they do send their children to Catholic schools ?

    Well , you and I both know that is because our schools are CONSISTENTLY BETTER than your shitty public schools.

    That’s why , you deceptive fuck.

    ” He was never into power, like you. ”

    Sure . That’s why I would hand you over to a third party ( God ) , whose motives I can’t guess , under circumstances where any status , popularity , reputation , etc , I might have would count for nothing.

    And despite my utter loathing and hatred for you , you might wind up at Holiday Inn , with the gravy.

    Your cosmology ?

    Well … if a person happens to be an orphan slave concubine in Yemen , and dead at 21 from over – work and being fucked to death ?

    Eh ….. tsk , tsk , tough shit.

    As much as you deliberately try to dodge the reality of the implications of your hateful , nihilistic , creed.

    Oh ! We’ll fix all of that ! —– AFTER YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD !

    ( And I’m sure you DO laugh about THAT you sick evil fuck ! )

    ” To shut people up by vilifying them … ”

    And your fake mockery , fake shaming , and fake condescension has no purpose in mind.

    ” if you can’t monetise fucking their husbands any more. ”

    Lol.

    I think by now that you have mentioned my three years a call girl more than I have.

    Happy family is it , physicians wife ?

    Maybe so.

    But I wonder why someone who isn’t a Missionary Baptist prude , seems to resent working girls so much .

    ” And don’t pretend I attacked you, hypocrite. ”

    I won’t .

    But I would guess you will go right on pretending the poor little atheist was just minding her own business.

    ” You just can’t keep out of my house. ”

    Obviously it isn’t a Scottish absorbed / focused blog.

    And you are the one who kept dragging your Brady Bunch Family resume into things.

    i.e. While , strictly speaking , it’s JHK’s house ,

    otherwise , it’s MY house , bitch.

    Lie about that all you want. I’ll be right here to contradict you tomorrow.

    ” I wouldn’t have your life for anything. ”

    I know pretty much nothing about you.

    But clearly there are some problems with your narrative.

    Dinesh D’ Souza spoke frankly tonight, and said that force is needed now to stop the ongoing desecration of America and its history. Music to my ears. Trump is finally doing something, if only jabbering about an executive order to protect the monuments. Too little and too late in my mind, as he dithers at the rally and says, ‘Maybe we should just watch.’ Again, he shows no strength. Where are the militia groups and the right wing militants, coming to the rescue?

    And NY gov Cuomo lowers himself into a lubricious lake of Leftist love, speaking about the removal of Teddy Roosevelt in front of the American Museum of Natural History:

      The citizenry must see that some of their leaders are not only not acting, they are supporting the actions of the rioters.

      from Greg Hood’s article, “Lessons from the Seattle Autonomous Zone”

      CHAZ/CHOP is neither an independent nation, nor is it (yet) a Mad Max style dystopia. Shootings happen in cities with police, too. However, it is a fine example of anarcho-tyranny. The government is being far more lenient about violent crime and weapons violations than it was at Waco or Ruby Ridge. During the standoff over the Bundy Ranch and the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon state police shot and killed Robert LaVoy Finicum and a judge dismissed a suit claiming this was wrongful death. It’s hard to imagine that white advocates would be allowed by city, state, and federal authorities to seize part of a major city and negotiate terms with the authorities. We would be arrested, shot, or burned alive like the people in Waco if a video emerged of us merrily distributing firearms.

      Sredni Vashtar: Or could you imagine a White Nationalist serving decades in prison and then coming out and getting a major University position and hobnobbing with the great and near great as Bill Ayers has done?

      Anarcho-Tyranny: a policy whereby laws are capriciously enforced as per the individual’s or group’s race or politics. In other words, justice is no longer blind but calculating.

        This phenomenon is ever more common and ever more noticeable.

        When the Woke tent camp revival started they were still using the force of law to compel compliance from the rest of us regarding lockdown, yet let thousands of cultists disregard entirely. When non-cultists protest in favor of some ideology the cult despises, the law will come down like a bag of hammers, but DAs will dismiss charges for serious felonies when it’s a cult member, and so on.

        Hard to respect the rule of law when applied in this fashion. Hard to respect the judiciary when it comes up with all manner of penumbras and emanations to advance cult ideological causes while grasping at straws to force ideological compliance on those not converted to their strange new faith.

    It seems that they now want to declare “Racism” a “Public Health Emergency”, like Covid 19.

    They seem to allude to the George Floyd incident as a justification for this “Public Health Emergency”. Someone failed to inform them that Floyd and Offer Dick Wad both knew other and had bad blood and the incident seems to relate to an undercover sting operation at that bar that they were working at. It seems that Floyd had a long rap sheet including a prior conviction for an incident in which he pointed a loaded gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach.

    Do you remember when Obama was elected and everyone declared Obama’s election as proof that America had overcome racism? Since then race relations progressively cratered.

    How does declaring “Racism” to be a public heath crisis work exactly? Do they want to quarantine White people? Have people tested for racist thoughts and then have a contact tracing App? Have a vaccine?

    They’re obviously insane….

      Actually we have received hints for a long time that yes, indeed, they are developing tests (scans?) for racist thoughts, and other kinds of thoughts too. All thoughts actually as they plan to make a movie machine out of your brain. They are working on consolidating the tracing app and the vaccine to be a two in one deal. What’s really funny is that their big announcement regarding the public health disaster of racism makes clear that they are only worried about certain races and communities so they are letting you know they are still racists anyway.

      OMG that is such a complete hoax. It is so obvious it is theater. And it’s way too dramatic to even be believable. The whole point is that white people can have nothing. No sport, if you want to call driving race cars in circles sport, no nothing. Blacks can have their own everything and anything just like latinos (latinx?) and whoever else. If something exist and mostly whites are involved in whatever it is then it must be diversified and busted up until blacks essentially dominate whatever it is and that’s basically a rap. Also the whole big show of them pushing Bubba’s car or whatever. Another staged “humiliation” ritual to further demoralize and fragment any opposition to the cancel culture or support of tradition.

      Puck, you know that you passed up a seat in Trump University, but this is the ‘Trump 100 Club’, and that is something you can’t pass up given your future as a member of the USA intelligentsia.

      And you truly know that he can’t do it without your financial contribution this electoral round, eh.

      As a Trump 100 Club member you will certainly have the attention of his campaign team executive decision makers and perhaps even President Trump himself.

      You cannot pass up this special offer from the world’s best known confidence man sitting atop of world hegemony on the precipice of financial ruin as Deutsche Bank holds his non-performing Commercial Loans portfolio, Puck.

      Ask not what your country can do for you, Puck. Ask yourself what you can do to keep your president in office for another four years before he matriculates to adulthood and honest reality of insolvency & defeat at the hands of his countrymen & women that yearn for an adult in charge of the White House administration as opposed to a confidence man posing as an honest arbiter of the world’s largest democracy.

    Zephaniah 1:14-18
    14
    The great day of the Lord is near;
    It is near and hastens quickly.
    The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
    There the mighty men shall cry out.
    15
    That day is a day of wrath,
    A day of trouble and distress,
    A day of devastation and desolation,
    A day of darkness and gloominess,
    A day of clouds and thick darkness,
    16
    A day of trumpet and alarm
    Against the fortified cities
    And against the high towers.
    17
    “I will bring distress upon men,
    And they shall walk like blind men,
    Because they have sinned against the Lord;
    Their blood shall be poured out like dust,
    And their flesh like refuse.”
    18
    Neither their silver nor their gold
    Shall be able to deliver them
    In the day of the Lord’s wrath;
    But the whole land shall be devoured
    By the fire of His jealousy,
    For He will make speedy riddance
    Of all those who dwell in the land.

    Numerous people arrested in D.C. for the disgraceful vandalism, in Lafayette Park, of the magnificent Statue of Andrew Jackson, in addition to the exterior defacing of St. John’s Church across the street. 10 years in prison under the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act. Beware!

    Sredni: Vandalizing property is already illegal but the Cities are letting it happen. If he’s serious, he will have to dispatch Federal troops all over America since every large and medium size city is a Leftist shithole.

        For my part, I am a Salik (Arabic) or Pilgrim.

        Interesting video. Did or do the locals use this sulphur for any purpose? I remember the “Greek Fire” the Byzantines used with such great effect against the Turks.

        Glad to see you not rejecting Christian Wisdom. One time I attended a fundamentalist Church that took the Bible literally and preferred the Jews to their own People. I was deep “undercover” (wanted to see what it was all about firsthand), but I did not despise all that was taught or the people. They had such passion, something few Americans have anything high. I remember seeing a Jewish looking guy who used to attend. No Synagogue in that area (not many around in any case, deep red America) could have loved the Jews more or studied the Old Testament more deeply.

        • akmofo June 23, 2020 at 2:05 pm #

          “Greek Fire” is much more ancient than the Greeks. It was by the Assyrians long before the Greek came to be. That “Greek Fire” later traveled to China.and was used by the Mongols. It is not sulfur.

          Give praise to the Lord and marvel at his creation. Be thankful you were given the opportunity to see this world and its beauty.

          But the question now becomes, did you actually see it? Did Caesar Christ show it to you? Did any of your philosophers? Did any of your dead stone monuments show you that beauty?

          Or did they leave you empty? Be honest with yourself, Sredni. Know what you know, and know what you do not know and have not experienced.

            Christ said, My Kingdom is not of this world. Why equate Him with Caesar just because Caesar when on to do so – but only after intense persecution?

            One wise Rabbi said to his fellow Rabbis anent two apostles whom they had imprisoned: If these men are not of God, then nothing will come of their efforts. But if they are of God, you cannot stop them no matter what you do.

            In other words, let them go. And needless to say, the Rabbis were not able to crush Christianity, at least when it was still fresh.

          • akmofo June 23, 2020 at 2:57 pm #

            So did Christ show you the beauty and the marvels of this world? Or did Christ and Mohamed persuade you Goy slaves of Caesar that the beauty of life is only to be experienced in death? Something to think about, Sredni.

    from “How Long Will the Looting Last” by Pat Buchanan

    In a word, it is hate. A goodly slice of America’s young hates this country’s history and the men who made it. It hates the discoverers and explorers like Columbus, the conquistadores and colonists. It hates the Founding Fathers and the first 15 presidents, all of whom either had slaves or coexisted with the injustice of slavery. But hating history and denying history and tearing down the statues of the men who made that history does not change history.

    So, where are we going?

    Today, as was true in the 1960s, the American establishment is on the run. It recoils from mob action but cannot bring itself to condemn those tearing down the statues, for it basically agrees with them and seeks to marshal their energy to help it get back into power in November.

    But this cannot go on. The political and propaganda war on the cops, the vandalism of the statues and memorials, the disgracing and dishonoring of American heroes cannot go on indefinitely.

    At some point, in the near future, the establishment, and its questionable political instrument, Joe Biden, will have to have his Sister Souljah moment, and stand up and stay, “This should stop.”

    For, whatever happens in this election, the American people will not stay united around a party and a movement built on the proposition that America has been, from before its birth, a racist criminal enterprise.

    You cannot lead a people whose history and heroes you hate.

    A house divided against itself cannot stand. And a society whose history is hated by millions of its members will not survive.

    Shredni: Pat ends strong with the obvious fact that America as such is not long for this world. But lets look deeper: Why did we allow this boil to fester in Academia for generations? This day has long been coming. Why did we nurture these vipers in our bosom, even to the extent of giving them access to our children. The Deep Ones obviously hate our Traditions and want them gone. So why do the Repbulicans allow it? They’re obviously in hock to the Deep Ones just as much as the Democrats.

    Alas, even Pat lacks clarity or more likely he is being circumspect. Keep the statues up because, “It happened”? Or perhaps like one of our posters once said (was it Kdog or Cargill?), just smother them with little explanatory plaques, turning them into monuments of shame in other words.

    Look Volks, the Left is right: the Founders were Racists with a capital R. They loved their Race and thought they were great. They were just like the Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are now. Are we going to keep hating ourselves for wanting to expand as a People a la the Life Force, that operates both individually and collectively? If so, we will be swept away by the Broom of Time into the slime pits at the edge of existence. And other, more enlivened Peoples will come to center stage and play their part.

    In any case, it’s not easy to undo generations of neo-Christian guilt tripping and Marxist mind destroying. And Bemenov’s “demoralization” among the common people who were lucky enough not to go to college. Best not get into it with them. Just keep it simply stupid as the 12 Steppers say. Keep it at the level of implicit pride without getting into the whole question of what is racism. Let sleeping dogs lie. Of course with the indoctrinated, that will not be possible. Expert deprogrammers will be needed. My lives in the Inquisition will serve me well here.

      Published when Wallace was just twenty-four years old, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent.

    With BlackRock at the heart of the Federal Reserve reissuance of their 08 Quantitative Easing programme, and the fiscal Federal Reserve Balance Sheet conundrum manifesting increases in federal level financial largesse it would seem prudent to ascertain just what kind of reality President Trump is immersed in at this juncture of imprudence at the macroprudential level of American Finance whereby an off-exchange hedge fund like BlackRock can takeover Fed Reserve lending to no-banks in the Primary Dealer Credit Facility REPO backstop of late.

        That one flip sentence sums up just about everything that’s wrong with today’s USA. It’s gone so far to the right since WWII – but especially since the puppet Ronald Reagan – that democratic politics has been extinguished.

        The lunar right (so well represented on here) believe that anything to the centre or centre-left is illegitimate, commie, even treasonous. The reality is that the Democratic Party is deeply conservative, and no less ‘American’ or ‘patriotic’ than the Repub Thugs, or anyone else.

        • Rupert June 24, 2020 at 11:36 am #

          The problem is that ‘left’ and ‘right’ are largely meaningless. What is ‘right’ about unfettered market liberalism? What is ‘left’ about a fervent religious inquisition?

          The empire is so childish, so unmoored from history and intelligent debate, so ensorcelled by low rent mental magic and consumerism we cannot have discussions about issues. Even were the spell to be broken, I’m not sure we could have those discussions as there is no longer a coherent ‘we’.

    Apparently in Minneapolis there has been so much gunplay, mayhem, murder and bloodshed in the past week that the Minneapolis PD has had to seek assistance from surrounding Sheriff’s Depts and Suburban PDs to deal with the spike in violence. The City Council is still working out the details of its Rapid Response Social Worker team, which will replace the PD.

    Meanwhile, in Bridgeport, some guy named Manuel, most likely an illegal, beat to death inside a ‘Bodega’. About 8 Hispanic men seen leaving the premises. No arrests made, why bother?

    David Graham in The Atlantic:

    “[…]even if this week hasn’t done so much material damage to Trump’s prospects, it has badly hurt his image. The pictures of the rows of empty seats in Tulsa will linger. The image of Trump strolling off Marine One disheveled and doleful is much worse than the clip of him teetering down a ramp at West Point—the one he spent nearly 15 minutes in Tulsa trying to explain away. Once a candidate makes an unflattering impression on voters, the label—from John Kerry’s floppiness to George H. W. Bush’s wimp factor—becomes difficult to shake. How could a man so attentive to the power of appearance get so sloppy? Trump understands this dynamic as well as anyone: Once you look like a loser, there’s a danger voters will treat you like one.”

    • BackRowHeckler June 23, 2020 at 7:39 pm #

      Give me a fricking break.

      You think images leave a lasting response.

      Let us pull out the current Democratic candidate and his image.

      A three time loser. A doddering old man who cannot voice a sentence without forgetting what he says, or stuttering. A man whose own party leaders have told to stay in the basement. A candidate who will be quaking in his boots during the three announced debates. A candidate without a legitimate backup, VP, to appoint. A shill for the anti-American Progressive Left.

      Yeah, let us look at who looks more presidential. In the meantime, watch the return to a solid economy despite all the activities that the Dems are trying to use to delay the rebound. Maybe those protestors will have to go back to work.

      • Kakadu Man June 23, 2020 at 8:58 pm #

        I hear what you’re saying, and I also believe the Democrats have dug themselves a huge hole by winding up with Joe Biden.

        But “Her Turn” Hillary was also a very poor candidate, and Trump – after losing the popular vote – squeezed out a very narrow victory in three amazingly close states (where in my suspicious view there might well have been voting-process shenanigans).

        Trump is the focus here – the election is a referendum on him, rather than a beauty pageant with Joe Biden, and in that regard he’s way down the ladder compared to 24 June 2016.

        He really did look pretty vulnerable as he stumbled off Marine One. Perhaps he’s sick of it and doesn’t really want to go through all this stuff to get re-elected – who knows?

    This post may be a bit Off Topic….

    Some women, like Eleanor Roosevelt, are frigid and recoil at the sight of an erect big banana. Other women are turned on by the male penis, like Ms. Miller who wrote the book about John Holmes entitled “A Life Measured in Inches”.

    “ Eleanor didn’t object to Franklin’s devotion to his duties, but she couldn’t help wondering: Was it his work he found so compelling, or Lucy? She felt that she was losing him, and she didn’t know how to respond. Every close relationship she had ever experienced had ended disastrously—in abandonment or premature death. She didn’t know that love could weather crisis, didn’t know how to fight for what she valued. As he drifted away, she gradually closed herself off, seeking to recapture the emotional self-sufficiency she had found to be her only refuge as a child. THE MORE SHE WITHDREW, the easier it was for him to rationalize his behavior. Eleanor seems never to have enjoyed the physical aspects of marital love; her daughter, Anna, later recalled her saying, just before Anna married, that sex was “an ordeal to be borne.”

      Not the case…I saw one incredible feat of strength just the other day on Tee Vee.

      During the riots then televised, a black, using some bit of refuse on the street, smashed a window in a retail business…whereupon a white female jumped in front of the broken window in a show of revolutionary spirit, arms askew, and blocked entrance to the store.

      …whereupon one of the blacks in the crowd grabbed the bitch by the neck and literally threw her into the street…musta been 12 feet….

      It was impressive.

          I do not understand the agenda the mayor is abiding by. The mayor, any mayor, should be educated, certainly not stupid…yet the results of an action of this sort are 100% preordained. History replete with examples. Chaos guaranteed, and on this I would stake my life.

          The human animal will withstand many hardships, but anarchy is not one of them…order is demanded, and will be obtained at any price. Warlords of all stripe await. This is an absolute truth, and is not subject to argument.

          Again, Mayors, for the most part, are not stupid…what then is their agenda in the destruction of the predominate culture? Do they think they can contain or somehow manipulate the ferals after order is required? I just cannot understand the end game.

    https://www.theweek.com/speedreads/921773/obamas-1st-fundraiser-biden-raises-4-million-before-even-begins

    The black shadow of Obama falls over Trump like a chafing cloak. If bonehead Biden gets Michelle on the ticket, he’ll beat Trump like a rented mule. And if Biden bows out, for whatever reason, the darkie duo will ensure our enslavement to a resurging, politically correct formula and fracture our white fragility.

    That may still happen with the likes of Kamala Harris or Val Demings or Stacey Abrams. But Michelle is such Democratic dynamite, that she’d explode on the scene and turn Trump’s chances into tatters.

    NYC mayor de Blasio’s wife, a black woman, will oversee the monument situation in that city. Even Hans Christian Anderson, in Central Park, spinner of fairy tales, isn’t safe in this nightmarish environment.

    Will Trump’s passivity so far prove to be the best strategy? There is some merit to that approach, but the lack of action by him and Republicans in general, combined with the calamitous Covid, make him appear feckless and incapable.

    The Dems could lock it all up by putting Michelle on the ticket.

      Furthermore, she is married to a man who created and supported ISIS in an effort to destroy Syria while in office, before participating in a soft coup in cahoots with foreign governments to oust a sitting US president.

      And as if that were not enough, half the country believes she is a man based on countless Youtube videos where she appears to have a swinging nutsack. In the land of the TV Presidency, no amount of lipstick is going to fix her problems.

      Because it’s all bulldust, and not worthy of mainstream coverage. Coal was created around 300 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period … that’s why it’s named that.

      The events leading to the Noah myth (which is replicated in a lot of other religions too) occurred maybe 12,000 years ago, when sea levels rose significantly following the ice melt. Science is fun.

        Darwinism is a satanic Vatican fraud. The “science” priesthood that is silent about this fraud and does not publicly expose Darwinism as a fraud is also a fraud. You are an idiot imbecile with no ability for critical thinking. The MSM is an subsidiary of the satanic Vatican gov mafia.

            No, Mrs Green, they are no good at all. They are quite poor actually. There’s not even a hint of mention to the Vatican Jesuit connection in all of this. I’ll say this again, nothing happens by accident. There’s a reason this appeared where and when and how it did. What was the reason for it? Who would have the intellectual capabilities the motive the real reason to produce this material? I can guarantee that the Tzarist Secret Services did not read Maurice Joly and his obscure fictional dialogue between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. And yet, this work first appeared in Russian. They try to pin this on Hermann Goedsche, because of a supposed similar theme, but that’s obvious nonsense. The passages are obviously transcribed from Maurice Joly.

            So the question of authorship remains deliberately unanswered by Wikipedia because they deliberately obscure the real authors, which were the Vatican Jesuits. And it’s not like this information is unavailable. Why wasn’t it included by Wikipedia? It tells you who the real authors of Wikipedia are. Again, them being the Vatican/CIA mafia.

She will simply will not say a bad word about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I offered her plenty of opportunities to do so, and she never took them up. I very quickly notice such things, because I listen to what people say and what they do not say. That’s how I can so easily pick out our Vatican disciples Commies and Judophobe propagandists.

            While they’re intent on the idea that the Book of Genesis is the source of all (scientific?) knowledge, they at the same time accede that the Atlantic Ocean has split this massive coal deposit.

            How long did that take? They haven’t said (in this particular video), but if it’s anything less than hundreds of millions of years, the US & Europe would be growing apart at a measurable rate and the Himalayas would be rising rapidly.

            Like I said, there’s no science in this pap you’re promoting.

            Ok, so you’re asking how long it took for the earth to expand?

            I can answer that for you. It took a few days to a few weeks at most. We have eyewitness documented accounts of mountains forming and mountains dissolving within minutes and hours. There also a good case to be made that this happened several times. See Velikovsky.

            Again, that’s not an argument against the information presented. Present an argument that the information presented is factually incorrect.

            I guess the best argument against it is, in reality, everything you say about it. Assertions of the Atlantic forming in days or weeks is simply absurd, as are you.

            “Like I said, there’s no science in this pap you’re promoting.”

            Velikovsky was apparently all the rage around the time I was a student (so were a lot of other things that didn’t last), but the heated controversy surrounding him passed me and my close cohort by, unless I’ve just totally forgotten. Most people under the age of 40 have never heard of him. I’m currently reading The Pseudoscience Wars: Immanuel Velikovsky and the Birth of the Modern Fringe*.

            I haven’t got very far yet but it’s interesting – aims to figure out the difference between science (good, bad and revised in normal fashion) that necessary includes ‘paradigm shifts’ and pseudoscience (such as Velikovsky) that claims to be a paradigm shift in real science. I bought the book, but I think there are PDF versions online. But, yes, if people are disposed to believe this stuff, there’s no shortage of other people out there happy to confirm their bias. The idea of being a ‘maverick’ is always a good pull.

            *Naturally the book was probably written by the Vatican Commie Nazi Jihadi Satanist Romanist mafia, but since they published 99.9% of everything that exists, what can you do? I expect William Caxton was an early member. 🙂
