Not long ago, few Americans of the thinking persuasion might have imagined that such a well-engineered republic, with its exquisite checks and balances, sturdy institutions, and time-tested traditions would end up as so much smoldering goop in a national dumpster fire, but such is the sad state-of-the-union moving into the fateful summer of 2019. The castle of the permanent bureaucracy is about to be torched by an uprising of deplorable peasants led by a Golden Golem made furious by relentless litigation. It’s Game of Thrones meets the Thermidorian Reaction with a Weimar-flavored cherry on top — really one for the ages!

There’s perhaps a lot to dislike about Donald J. Trump, US President No. 45. Despite all the grooming and tailoring, there’s little savoir faire there. He tweets not like a mellifluous songbird, but in snorts like a rooting aardvark. His every predilection is an affront to the refined Washington establishment: his dark business history, his beloved ormolu trappings, his Mickey-D cheeseburgers, the mystifying hair-doo.

Even so, the bad faith of his antagonists exceeds even Mr. Trump’s defects and vices. The plot they concocted to get rid of him failed. And, yes, it was a plot, even a coup. And they fucked it up magnificently, leaving a paper trail as wide as Interstate-95. Now all that paper is about to fall over the District of Columbia like radioactive ash, turning many current and former denizens of rogue agencies into the walking dead as they embark on the dismal journey between the grand juries and the federal prisons.

Hence, the desperate rage of the impeachment faction, in direct proportion to their secret shameful knowledge that the entire RussiaGate melodrama was, in fact, a seditious subterfuge between the Hillary Clinton campaign and a great many key figures in government up-to-and-including former president Barack Obama, who could not have failed to be clued-in on all the action. Even before the declassification order, the true narrative of events has been plainly understood: that the US Intel “community” trafficked in fictitious malarkey supplied by Mrs. Clinton to illegally “meddle” in the 2016 election.

Most of the facts are already documented. Only a few details remain to be confirmed: for instance, whether international man-of-mystery and entrapment artist Josef Mifsud was in the employ of the CIA, and/or Britain’s MI6, and/or Mrs. Clinton’s Fusion GPS contractor (or Christopher Steele’s Orbis Business Intelligence company, a subcontractor to both Fusion GPS and the FBI). Questions will now be asked — though not by The New York Times.

The evidence already public indicates that Robert Mueller must have known as early as the date of his appointment (and likely before) that the predicating evidence for his inquiry was false. After all, his soon-to-be lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, was informed of that in no uncertain terms by his DOJ colleague, Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, in 2016. Justice may seek to know why Mr. Mueller did not inform the target of his inquiry that this was so. The answer to that may be that Mr. Mueller’s true mission was to disable Mr. Trump as long as possible while setting an obstruction of justice trap — which also failed tactically.

Notice that Mr. Mueller declined to testify before the House Judiciary Committee last week. Chairman Jerrold  Nadler (D-NY) was a fool to invite him. Did he not know that minority members of his committee get to ask questions too?

In an interesting turn of the screw last week, polling showed that a majority of those asked were in favor of investigations into the origin of the RussiaGate story. The FBI, being an agency under the direct supervision of the Attorney General, will be hosed out for sure. The CIA, on the other hand, has a sordid history of acting as a sovereign state within the state — hence the derivation of the Deep State. They are renowned for protecting their own. Remember, the Senate Minority Leader, Mr. Schumer, snidely told the incoming President Trump at the get-go that the Intel community “has six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” I guess we’ll finally get to see about that because the CIA’s former director, the wicked Mr. Brennan, is grand jury bound. I suspect he will not be protected by his former colleagues. His downfall may presage a more thorough cleanup, and perhaps a major reorganization, of this monstrous agency.

The indictment of Julian Assange adds a big wrinkle to these upcoming proceedings. Apart for what it means to First Amendment protection for a free press (no small matter), Mr. Assange is the one person who actually knows who handed over the “hacked” DNC emails to Wikileaks. Perhaps getting the answer to that question is the real reason that the DOJ is throwing the book at him. The trial of Mr. Assange is sure to be a humdinger.

I’m convinced, personally, that all this melodrama will play out against the background of a cratering global economy, tanking financial markets, and epic disruption of the established international order. Consider laying in some supplies.

    What are the ‘real issues?’

    Bill says that they are NOT race and politics.

    • OccamsBeard May 24, 2019 at 10:37 am #

      The ‘real issues’ stem from the fact that the political and academic elites are clueless about what working class voters’ lives are like. Every time they speak they betray their disconnection from those who determine their fate.

      • gustafus May 25, 2019 at 1:02 pm #

        the left advocates for America’s enemies and the detritus of the 3rd world….I”ve never have figured that out.

        Africans still kill homosexuals. Feminists won’t do well with enough Muslims in the political realm.

        Catholic immigrants have very bad sons, but still are conservative.

        The left is just in a nose dive, thinking they are soaring above the deplorable.s

      How about the environment and the economy? Since I already mentioned the United Nations report that one million species are threatened with extinction, I’m bringing up the 2019 Environmental Media Association Awards, which “honor film and television productions and individuals that increase public awareness of environmental issues and inspire personal action on these issues.” Squeeky below wrote “popular movies are about costumed super heroes” and one of them, “Aquaman,” is nominated for environmental film of the year, competing against the animated “Isle of Dogs.” Who says fantasy has no redeeming value?

      Also, our host expects “a cratering global economy.” That hasn’t become obvious to most yet, but they are sensing something wrong in retail, at least in the U.S. Just this week, the parent company of Dressbarn announced it was closing all 650 stores. Welcome to the Retail Apocalypse!

      • malthuss May 24, 2019 at 11:01 am #

        our host expects “a cratering global economy.”
        He has been warning of that for about 10-18 years.

        The longer we wait, the worse it will be.

        It was ‘almost’ in 2008.
        11 years on, how crazy things are.

        Welcome to the Retail Apocalypse!–who cares about Costcowalmartamazon?

          As the world loses the inability to produce new wealth because of population pressure, resource depletion and climate change distribution of remaining goodies will follow a Pareto Distribution.

          A demo with a pile of paper clips can demonstrate the math involved but I’m not on a You-Tube video so I can’t do that.

          Think about the dog pack hunting and bringing down a big elk for today’s lunch and dinner.

          If the elk is big it can feed everybody no problem; just like it did in the 1950s and 60’s. But a scrawny elk means alpha dogs still eat well but other dogs get no elk at all. Then when the land stops getting green and brown dead grass feeds no elk, the other dogs become dinner. It is all in the math.

          Q,
          Chernobyl fun fact.

          Wheat seeds that were harvested in fields near the power plant were later planted in soil that was free from radiation. Reports were that the wheat evinced thousands mutations in it’s first generation…and continues to do so at this date…thousands of mutations every generation…

          even after 25 years.

          You can look it up…. “Midnight in Chernobyl” by Adam Higgenbotham, P355

        • Neon Vincent May 24, 2019 at 7:51 pm #

          The best figure I have is for amphibians, where the 200 species that have gone extinct during the past 500 years have wiped out between 2,000 and 10,000 years of speciation. That gives a range from one new species of frogs every 10 to 50 years. Somehow, I have my doubts there there have been 50 new species of frogs evolving during the past 50 years. Ten I could accept. As for identifying them, I couldn’t do it. I can do it with coywolves/eastern coyotes, which are different critters from either their coyote or wolf ancestors. They also have dog in them, which allows them to be better adapted to city life than either of their ancestors.

      • Exscotticus May 24, 2019 at 3:14 pm #

        But rather unrelated to financial machinations. People prefer to shop online and get products delivered. It’s not a sign of anything but the times we live in. Maybe in the future, everything gets ordered online and then 3D printed in your home…

    I wonder if America has been so dumbed down that it will be impossible for most of them to even follow the story of what happened? I mean let’s face it – our most popular movies are about costumed super heroes.

    Idiocracy has already arrived, IMHO.

      I think the problem is rather that the MSM has been actively aiding the coup and brazenly lying to the public under the auspices of “Accountability Journalism,” a neat little philosophy they invented to feel ok about lying.

      • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter May 24, 2019 at 10:37 am #

        That too. But maybe it would help if we started portraying Nellie Ohr, and John Brennan, and Hillary, and Comey, and Lynch, etc. in evil super-villain costumes, and Trump and Barr in good super-hero outfits.

        Because let’s face it, half the frigging country can’t follow Hillary to Fusion to Nellie to the FBI to the FISA court. It is way over their heads. Even if the MSM weighed in, which they should, it would probably put more heat to the evil-doers to fess up, than to the American public to get pissed about the whole stinky affair.

          • hmuller May 24, 2019 at 7:44 pm #

            Can they design a costume that won’t make Hillary look fat? Those oven-mitt inspired pants suits are the best they’ve managed so far.

            And to be fair, Trump will also prove a costuming challenge. We don’t want some orange Jabba the Hutt. Where have you gone, Edith Head?

        • Ol' Scratch May 24, 2019 at 12:25 pm #

          That’s OK, lets just lock ’em up and sort it all out later. I’m thinking Gitmo would work nicely, and a 20-30 year gestation period ought to be long enough for the American public to either pull its collective head out of its ass or just throw away the keys altogether and be done with it. Whichever.

            Let us Imagine Clinton getting volume blasted with Lady Gaga and Puddle of Mudd all day in some crud hole cell. LOL!

            American Taliban (John Walker Lindh) was released this week from the old Federal Pen. I’m sure he was better taken care of for the last 17 years, while certainly having a lot of taxpayer resources thrown in his way.

          • BornToKillPeace May 24, 2019 at 5:06 pm #

            *while having a lot more taxpayer money sent his way than most citizens. The pen he was located in, is in my town. All of you would have enjoyed some of the conversation around the old water tank on the issue. Half my co-workers seem to have family employed there. And most of those family members are veterans..

          • ozone May 25, 2019 at 10:36 am #

            …A town devoid of empathy where half the population are trained to be cold-blooded killers. Sounds like a fun place.

          • BornToKillPeace May 25, 2019 at 2:31 pm #

            Ozone,

            I’m a conspiracy theorist, so I have my complaints with the populace’s opinion(s) on the reality of particular events and situations. Usually I’m the contrarian of the social situation and I have learned to keep most of my opinions to myself, as well as learning over time to have patience for other’s opinions and thoughts.

            How can you label half a town/city you’ve probably never been to non-empathetic?

            Since you carry so much empathy yourself, maybe we should send American Taliban, Dylann Woof, other members of Al Qaeda to live on your block?

          • BornToKillPeace May 25, 2019 at 2:36 pm #

            And no, it is not a fun place. But the surrounding country is beautiful and this is where a good deal of my family resides and they mean more to me than most things I can count on this earth.

            If it personally makes you feel any better, I’ll be residing within a far more liberal town a week from this moment. From my experience though, the liberal residence (lived and worked their before and socially know more people there) is FAR MORE bigoted than my redneck town. Frankly, I’m not very excited of that aspect of my move.

          • ozone May 27, 2019 at 12:19 am #

            BornToKill,
            Just so we might try to relate from some of the same pages, I imagine (in my own cognitive space… that’s where we have to relate *from*), I’m tending toward a ‘conspiricy realist’ perspective. Theory be damned; who benefits?

            I don’t imagine I might be more or less empathetic when the not-so-tolerant come for me and mine. (BornToKillPeace… really? What an uneccesarily provocative handle that is. Havin’ fun with that, are you?)

            John Walker what-the-fuck?
            I’m sure we’d be comfortable with him in our actual neighborhood…. because he probably wants to be *Left TF Alone* at this juncture.
            ….If “fundamentalist” bullshit from any quarter of crapola-land should land in this little mind-your-damn-business-so-we-don’t-have-to place, you can be sure that such silliness will have a very short shelf life.

          The Media’s role is understated by 90%. Its everything its the whole narrative 24/7. Without the media they got nothing. The public will absolutely be able to connect the dots if given the chance as many have done so with zero media coverage.

      • abbybwood May 25, 2019 at 2:32 pm #

        Occasionally I watch Tucker Carlson and the other night he did a montage of the most recent MSDNC/CNN “talking points” the various hosts/guests were trumpeting:

        “Pelosi is getting under Trump’s skin”.

        It appears that a memo is literally being circulated to all these individuals to parrot out and obviously they “think” none of us are paying attention to the propaganda game they are playing.

      The American people are capable of much better. But mental fitness comes a lot harder when your information environment plies you with the media equivalent of orange soda and Doritos morning, noon and night.

      Re: the fate of Julian Assange, I think there’s room for hope that he won’t face — well, let’s be charitable and call it a “trial” — in the USA. The fact that America is slipping ever further into authoritarianism hasn’t gone completely unnoticed overseas. That, plus the fact that the (likely bogus) sex-assault charges against him in Sweden have been reactivated opens a possible escape hatch. Sweden’s extradition law doesn’t honour requests for what they consider political crimes, and surely that’s how the USA is treating Assange. Should the UK extradite him to Sweden first, rather than the U.S., Sweden may reject extradition for Assange’s inconvenient acts of journalism and pack him off to Russia instead. (They surely won’t want him on their soil any longer than necessary.) It could happen; let’s watch and see.

      Whereas if Assange actually gets extradited to the USA it’s game over for press freedom, as the outcome of any proceeding has been predetermined. The First Amendment will join the Fourth in the dead-letter pile.

      • Hands4u May 24, 2019 at 11:33 am #

        “The fact that America is slipping ever further into authoritarianism hasn’t gone completely unnoticed overseas.

        That’s true to some extent, but I feel, unhappily, that the poodle across the pond is getting its shampoo and blow dry as we speak, as it waits to be invited to the big dogs’ park.

        You know my feelings about Brexit being a set up for and by the Atlanticists. Last night the Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, erstwhile hated Health Secretary (with links to American healthcare giants) and descendant of William the Bastard, no less – a fact my husband swears was in his Wikipedia entry then judiciously removed – said that Theresa May would still be PM to greet Donald Trump in 11 days time (must be 10 now) and added, entirely unsolicited, that ‘The UK stands completely with the United States’ or words exceedingly close to that.

        He was probably referring to Iran, whom he has warned not to underestimate the US (suck, suck…), but I think you’ll find it will mean other things too.

        Although the UK government did say they wouldn’t extradite Assange to any country with a death penalty, as far as I remember – but I think that could be easily swept under the carpet with ‘full assurances have been received from the American government etc. etc.’)

        I’d put my faith more in the Swedes, to be honest.

        But Jeremy Hunt (I need hardly mention his nickname) is a contender for the premiership, although that is more likely – horrifically – to go to our blond buffoon. While there is a large ‘anyone but Boris’ faction in the parliamentary Tory party, the membership in the shires just love the adorable little rascal and think he’ll keep Corbyn away from Downing Street.

        Now, Boris is a liar and a cheat of the first water. So if you’d like to trust him to put principle above career and US er…contacts, be my guest. I don’t think Boris would recognise a principle if it whacked him in his peripatetic genitalia (he’s attached to them when they wander…) and I wouldn’t want to be Julian Assange relying on Boris after the demolition job he did on Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who’s an actual British citizen.

        https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/nov/06/boris-johnson-mistake-could-harm-case-for-nazanin-zaghari-ratcliffe-say-family

        The UK is going to be up shit creek economically after Brexit and is relying on a trade deal with the US as ‘the biggie’. Trump knows that and that desperation will be leveraged way beyond opening the doors to the NHS.

        Or maybe I’m just paranoid.

        • Majella May 26, 2019 at 6:18 pm #

          I find this short clip by the Brexit resistance group to be most informative. It highlights the real, underlying reasons that the likes of Farage & Rees-Mogg want a no-deal Brexit. It’s apparent that they’re just shameless shills for the international elite, and in Rees-Mogg’s case, at least, a member to boot.

          Then there’s Britain’s answer to DJT – Big Boris Johnson. What a fool, a useful idiot.

        So the Swedes are the good guys? Wrong – they started this campaign to destroy Assange. And much of the social justice experimentation that comes over here is rolled out in Sweden. They fell to the Darkness generations ago.

        But you think they’re a free country, right? Even as their archeologists destroy any and all new Viking relics that are found, committed to destroying their own cultural heritage.

        • GreenAlba May 24, 2019 at 1:28 pm #

          I didn’t say the Swedes were the good guys. I merely hope they won’t send Assange on to the US if he’s extradited to Sweden.

          But I’m emphasising that I don’t trust the British government not to extradite him straight to the US. Maybe I’m wrong.

From that point, it seems she had just enough wherewithal to steer the out-of-control ship of state from one moment to the next — with no larger plan, and no confidence from any quarter in her ability to reach any destination in particular.

        Mr. Johnson, on the other hand, never had any credibility to begin with; only boundless ambition and opportunism, yet I agree he’s in with the best chance. Just look at the current occupant of the Oval Office and ask yourself how effective ‘Anyone But X’ is as a political strategy.

        I console myself with the image of Nigel Farage cowering on a bus, unwilling to go outside because he’s surrounded by protesters with milkshakes and a gleam in their eye.

            Good! I’m all for it.

            This may sound mean-spirited but I find any kind of noticeable impediment so distracting that I could never vote for such a person (i.e. IF I voted, which I don’t). Take, for example, Secretary of the Treasury, Steve Mnuchin. He has various facial ticks. I can barely look at him when he appears on TV. I want to tell him to “please stop doing THAT” even though I know he can’t.

            There have been many female contestants on Jeopardy with severe cases of vocal fry and/or up-talk (some men as well) that drive me so wild I want to throw a brick through the screen. And then there’s the flaming effeminate gay voice of a Truman Capote.

            There’s a former member of the NY Federal reserve (Frederick somebody or other) who says prolly for probably and prahlem for problem. I have gone to the trouble of finding a valid email address to contact him and have written him several times about this prolly/prahlem bullshit. Naturally, he never responds.

            My b-i-l, Peter says Santa comes down the Chimley on Christmas Eve. I have informed him the word is ‘Chimney’ and asked him “where do you get chimley?” He says “that’s how we pronounced it where I grew up.” I said “no, not true.” I knew your parents for 40 years and I’m married to your sister for 45 years……. nobody says “chimley!”

    Don’t you just hate it when these Assholes say things like?: That’s not who we are.” Or, “They don’t know what they’re voting for (Brexit).”

    “This long tradition of a more ‘elitist’ conception of democracy has, for many decades now, created room for populists who promise to speak on behalf of people who have been neglected, even held in contempt, by increasingly distant and technocratic political and economic elites. In recent years this tension has been compounded by a growing disconnect between the rulers and the ruled. Across the West, liberal democracies are increasingly dominated by highly educated and liberal elites whose backgrounds and outlook differ fundamentally from those of the average citizen, a development that has been exacerbated by the rise of a new ‘governance elite’, connected through informal and formal networks that cut across elected national governments. Linked to this has been the growth of ‘politically correct’ agendas, driven by degree-holding liberals and the young, which are especially focused on identity issues. These points lead to our overarching argument that national populism partly reflects a deep-rooted distrust of elites that can be traced back over decades and is now mirrored in a rising tide of public discontent with the current political settlement. It is not true that people are giving up on democracy. Large majorities remain supportive of democracy as a system of governing their societies. But many do have strong concerns about how their democracies are functioning and are receptive to a different, ‘direct’ concept of democracy. Large numbers no longer believe that ‘people like them’ have a voice and they reject the idea that their elected representatives share their concerns about new issues that have risen up the agenda. This distrust has accelerated in recent years and will remain evident for many years to come.”

      All true. Sadly it will be exactly the same in the UK after Brexit. Except there will be less money so the neglected will be even more neglected. And employment rights will be up for grabs, along with environmental protections.

      I’ve voted for the neglected all my life, but Scotland having gone nationalist means Tory government in England for the duration. The idea that they’ll ever care about the neglected is a joke.

      UKIP did massively well in previous European elections but were wiped out as an irrelevance in the UK parliamentary elections. The Brexit party is a one-trick pony and will probably go the same way. Farage’s only expressed policy, other than Brexit, is to replace the NHS with an insurance system (like yours, what a surprise). The neglected aren’t going to take kindly to that.

      Don’t forget Farage has tried multiple times to be elected to Parliament and has failed every time. UKIP were a joke – even Farage dumped them and has been distancing himself from them ever since since.

      Still we have the investigation into Arran Banks’ dodgy funding of both the Leave campaign and Farage’s elite lifestyle (while he said he was skint) to look forward to, so it’s not all bad, even though we have Farage’s pension to pay for the duration for sitting in the EU parliament for years doing sod all of any use – he couldn’t even be bothered attending the fisheries meetings to defend the rights of British fishermen. But then he was an ex-public school commodities broker, so what would he know or care about fisheries?

    Theresa May has resigned, drowned in a tidal wave of National Populism. Now it’s the American Deplorables turn…..

    “‘National populism’ is the better shorthand form of reference. While we must not ignore the possibility that leaders and parties hide their true beliefs from voters, there is no question that their agenda is ultimately a populist one and that even their strong emphasis on immigration and ethnic change has to be understood in this light. As we will see, the intense anxieties that national-populist voters express about how their nations are changing are both real and legitimate. They are not simply by-products of other forces. But these worries also encompass a host of concerns about the cosmopolitan and uncaring elites who allowed immigrants and other minorities into their country in the first place, as well as broader feelings of social and cultural loss which are also partly linked to ethnic change. By putting the emphasis more on populism, we highlight the way in which people want to be heard, rather than ignored or treated with contempt.“

          If by “out” you mean an arrangement that largely left the status quo intact, but with a loss of representation. For example, the UK would still have had to follow EU customs rules for YEARS.

          Your idea of “out” is a balcony view with no real change of venue.

            The exit deal offered a complete end to free movement which was allegedly the absolute primary concern of the most enthusiastic Brexiters. Even lots of Brexit voters during the campaign were happy to stay in the customs union.

            And it’s worth pointing out that “freedom of movement” was part of the EU’s political declaration. So they what? Agreed to disagree?

            Free movement was agreed to end at the end of 2020. That’s next year. Given this process has taken two years to thrash out, that’s not that unreasonable. Businesses need to make plans, even small businesses and not behemoths. And the NHS, which has haemorrhaged doctors that take 10 years to train, and nurses.

            But at this stage I’m fine with going for chaos. People who are established residents in all 28 countries not knowing what’s going to happen to them and their children isn’t a problem. Nor Ireland where neither side voted for this. Let’s just do it.

    Good point about Assange. It would fit with Trump’s tactics to date. He’s not an authoritarian monster, and he knows very well that Assange provided invaluable information and is likely the key link to laying waste to the claims about the server.

    Trumpi is the same guy who declassed part of the Kennedy files and has publically commented on everything from the oddities around 9/11 to bizarre details in Obama’s history. He’s no enemy of Assange.

        This description has little to no connection to the Trump I have been watching, nor to his history.

        He’s a free thinker as far as I can tell, and my instincts and ability to discern nonsense from truth has helped me figure out where this would go long before it got there.

        The tidbit about Comey makes perfect sense in this world of logic. Not so much if you believe Trump is Hitler 2.0.

        • Elrond Hubbard May 24, 2019 at 11:55 am #

          Congratulations on your instincts and ability to discern nonsense from truth. Meanwhile, I didn’t say Trump is Hitler 2.0. Hitler, after all, was organized and had a plan. The Trump I have been watching is a creature of pure instinct.

          Re: that Comey link, the article refers twice to the ‘Trump administration’, but never to Donald Trump himself, and there’s no indication that the negotiations went as high as POTUS.

          The sequence of events, per the article:

          – Adam Waldman, representing Assange, reached out to a Justice official named Ohr.
          – Ohr consulted ‘his chain of command and the intelligence community’ (no indication that this went outside the Justice department/ intelligence agencies, or that it reached Trump).
          – Justice assigned their own David Laufman to lead the negotiations. (No Trump involvement.)
          – At some point, Waldman reached out to Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee (not Trump or the Oval Office).
          – Talks carried on even after Assange released 8,000 pages of CIA documents.
          – Talks went as far as a proffer of limited immunity and safe passage, in exchange for a ‘Queen for a day’ meeting in which, among other things, Assange would discuss technical evidence re: the Democratic Party leaks.
          – (This may refer to something like time stamps or other data establishing whether the leak was internal, via e.g. a thumb drive, versus being a remote hack by e.g. Russians over the Internet.)
          – The article describes confidence growing ‘inside Justice and the intelligence community’ (still no Trump).
          – However, Sen. Warner by this time head reached out to Comey (not Trump).
          – Warner relayed from Comey that Waldman was to stand down and negotiations would not proceed.
          – Also involved, while negotiations were going on, was Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, as well as FBI counterintelligence. The question of why the FBI played a part during negotiations but its director sent a different message via the Senate is unanswered. No Trump.
          – Apparently stung by the end of negotiations, Assange/Wikileaks releases additional information without any of the redactions that were the subject of negotiations. CIA director Mike Pompeo denounces Assange. No involvement from or mention of Trump.

          That’s a long walk to a succinct conclusion: when you suggest Trump is an ally of and/or loyal to Assange, you’re giving credit to Trump that isn’t supported by evidence. Trump will do whatever pleases Trump from one minute to the next. Seriously, this is the guy who now ‘wants to talk with Iran‘, which wouldn’t be necessary if he hadn’t thrown out the deal that was already in place and which Iran was following.

          What do you think of my ability to discern nonsense from truth?

    I was on you tube. An ugly Chinese billionaire [made rich by slave labor and bribes???] opens shop in the Rust Belt [the rust belt is due to Clinton and free trade, NAFTA, Most Favored status Clinton gave China]..

    heres the caption,

    VICE News
    Published on Mar 20, 2017
    This past October, Cao Dewang, a billionaire from China, opened a new factory in Moraine, Ohio. We meet Dewang in Moraine, where he gives us a tour of the factory, and talks to us about his decision to open it, the business climate in the U.S. and the differences between American and Chinese workers (over lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant he likes).

    We also talk to a factory worker who used to work for GM, but is happy about his new gig, and the mayor of the town, which suddenly has thousands more jobs than it did less than a year ago.

    The rust belt is due to capitalist pigs and their compulsion to draw blood from rocks. Clinton was the tool they used to make that happen. He was the gun and remember, guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

    I’m afraid that the general public’s consciousness of issues is more like the murmuration of a flight of starlings, rarely directed by astute insights as offered by JHK but instead re-actively to a primal impulse to not trace outside of whatever prevails as group think (engineered, of course, by the indentured media).

      But you approve of the nuttiness of some of your most loyal followers? Ya know, used to devour your books in planning school so I’m somewhat sympathetic to your worldview. I recommend Benjamin Wittes on the Sam Harris podcast discussing about what’s really in the Mueller Report.

      I listened to that Sam Harris podcast with Wittes just the other day and found it eerily devoid of substance. –JHK

    Mr.Trump does not appear to.be a honest person.He filed for bankruptcy like 5-6 times with the sole purpose of not paying his subcontractors.You are honest or you are not.One can’t be 50% pregnant.

    But-Mr.Trump almost single-handedly,over the violent objections of corrupt Congress,abolished the Obamacare individual mandate.And MD’s (Medical Deities) worked so hard and spent countlell millions of $$$ to shove this law up our a$$es.

    Go figure…

    • JohnAZ May 24, 2019 at 11:58 am #

      Consider the environment he was competing in in NYC. The biggest group of scum and crooks in America. Did he go bankrupt because he took bad advice about investing in Atlantic City and gambling? Did he go bankrupt because he invested going into a recession? Did he go bankrupt because of the actions of unions in bad times? A wise mentor of mine once said that entrepreneurship involved having more successes than failures. I think our orange man definitely has been a success.

      BTW, what do the idiot Dems think they are going to get from his Tax reports. Remember Rachel Maddow and her idiocy with that one years return.

      • Beryl of Oyl May 24, 2019 at 12:56 pm #

        Using the laws the way they are written is simply how business is done.
        We just don’t have the records of everybody else in business to compare Mr. Trump’s to.

        Speaking of bankruptcy and abuse thereof, how come none of the populist Democrats have objected to the carve out for student loans, a feature of the Bush bankruptcy “reform”?
        Yes I know, somebody went all the way through school, and then having no job and large sums of money she could not repay, tried to claim bankruptcy.
        Or at least that’s the legend, but it is also the excuse for what Bush did, not the reason.
        A man who did what other middle class parents did and do, took out loans to send his kids to college, and then lost his high-paying job in a “tech” field (hypothetical, but I know such people and so do you); and due to his age, and the industry’s predilection for hiring foreign workers at lower cost, will never work in his field at a livable salary again in his life, will never, ever be able to discharge that debt until he dies.
        Our government officials like Bernie and Liz want to simply move the outrageous costs of the Higher Ed racket that sustains them, onto the backs of the taxpayers.
        That’s what free school and student loan forgiveness are, shifting the Racket that is Higher Ed completely onto the backs of the taxpayers.

        “entrepreneurship involved having more successes than failures. I think our orange man definitely has been a success.”

        We will know soon. New York State just passed a law this week that permits turning over tax returns to congressional committees requesting them. Trump may not have the assets he claims he has.

        • JohnAZ May 24, 2019 at 1:37 pm #

          My reaction to the amount of his assets is

          So what? What if he is in debt and owns nothing?

          I doubt that, he paid for his campaigns out of pocket, takes no salary in the WH, has farmed out his business to his family to run, and the biggest reason is if he wasn’t in pretty good shape financially, why do the international and domestic financial types fear him and want him destroyed.

          My guess is that his returns show business dealings overseas that he did not and does not want exposed to the dogs in the Deep State.

          For you and me, do you not consider your financial situation your business. A lack of personal space in a hallmark of a socialist, privacy is unimportant, detrimental to state control.

          A huge question is

          If he has been doing something incorrectly or illegally, why has the IRS not called him on the carpet about it. These years were during Dem administration, if there was a problem, why hasn’t that been acknowledged. If he is continuously under audit, how did anything escape? Did he pay off the IRS to keep all his misdeeds a secret. I doubt it.

          Just what do the Dems want with this. Another witch hunt?

          This idea that we will just keep looking and looking until we find something is so un-American, or at least it used to be.

          Watch out America, the Left wants control and what is left in your wallet.

          • pkrugman May 24, 2019 at 4:15 pm #

            My reaction to the amount of his assets is. So what? What if he is in debt and owns nothing?

            Many voted for him because they thought he was a successful businessman and that is how he portrayed himself. If we now find he won votes through misrepresentation of his assets, his election is fraudulent.

            He said a businessman could make deals to get everyone health care and prescriptions at lower costs. He said he knows about construction because of his hotels and he would get a wall built so fast at no cost to Americans because Mexico would pay for it.

            He said so many things that turned out to be lies. If his tax returns confirm he was lying to get votes, then I will consider him an illegitimate president who should be impeached.

            Impeachment will make him a victim. Impeachment will rally his base. Impeachment will guarantee he wins the 2020 election, which is probably why Pelosi refuses to go along with impeachment.

            Wait a minute. Are you saying that a President should be removed because he or she lied or exaggerated during a campaign and the public bought the lies or broken campaign promises. C’mon, you re kidding me aren’t you. If that was the case, no president would make it past a year. Misrepresentation and getting away with it is the name of the game in Washington.

            If that was a test of viability in DC, there would be no DC.

        Mr.JohnAZ

        We already had Jesus in the White House.And he was crucified-I mean not reelected-in 1980.

        I’ve paid more than my fair share of speeding tickets because of his BS 55mph speed limit.And I did not understand his obsession with human rights and many other things like wearing a sweater in the White House to conserve fuel.Yet he was a honest person.That is what people will remember about him.

        Now back to Mr.Trump.Declaring bankruptcy with the sole purpose of stiffing his subcontractors and,ipso facto,stealing workers wages is worse than a crime.It is a moral turpitude.

        For example: robbing banks (and burning mortgages in the process) was not considered such a heinous crime in the 30’s.John Dillinger,Ma Barker,Pretty Boy Floyd,Baby Face Nelson,Bonnie & Clyde were American heroes (sort of).They took the risk and they died.

        On the other hand there is nothing heroic about stealing subcontractors’ money even if one was not charged with a crime and got away with it.

        I wonder how Mr.Trump sailed thru the military high school without displaying his true colors.

    “countless millions”

  19. volodya May 24, 2019 at 11:31 am #

    The obstruction gambit is itself predicated on a set of facts that don’t clear the bar. Maybe if Trump had fired those that refused to follow his orders to fire Mueller, maybe if Trump had followed up and asked what the fuck is Mueller doing still stinking up the joint, if Trump had asked why the fuck didn’t you fire that leaky mother-fucker, if Trump had bellowed what the fuck is the problem, I’m not askin’ you to whack him which is far beyond your limited capacities you greasy, slippery, miserable shit, I’m tellin’ you to say the simplest words in the English language: YOU’RE FIRED.

    If, if, if. The problem here is one of facts. And facts are exceedingly difficult things, difficult to verify, easy to cast doubt on, but stubborn as can be once established. Aside from a face-to-face interview which Trump would not agree to, Mueller apparently got what he asked for from the White House. Trump ranted, he raved but he didn’t follow up on firing Mueller. Mueller completed his investigation and issued his report. That is a very difficult hurdle to get over. But now the issue is one of logic. There was no underlying crime ie the vaunted Russian collusion, so if you’re obstructing something, it’s not to subvert the course of justice in the investigation of malicious deeds that, as it turned out, never happened and, to anyone of sound mind, would sound like something conjured by the grubby looking chap in the library who spends his days talking to the computer screen. Russians colluding with Trump? Why? To what end? And what do the Russians have that Trump couldn’t easily get directly underfoot in the US of A? Common sense evidently has no standing to people who cannot believe they lost the most unlose-able election in US history, or of the world.

    I watched PBS NewsHour observing Judy and company. Having consulted those who read the entrails of the Mueller Report, they shone with an incandescent glow while they told us that diviners had divined an unmistakable “road-map” to impeachment. I suppose that the true believer is undeterred by facts, or the lack of them, like people of a scriptural bent who see nothing highly head-scratchy about virgin births or resurrections especially after having received a javelin in the guts while hanging on a cross. Or, being the equal opportunity blasphemer, a being from on-high, an emissary of the Big Fella Himself, reciting the contents of a holy book. You sit back, you watch the show, and laugh.

    • Beryl of Oyl May 24, 2019 at 1:40 pm #

      Judy makes me sick.
      I remember her pushing that “all 17 intelligence agencies have assessed” nonsense.
      She had to know what was wrong with that statement.
      She’s old enough to retire, what would make her say things like that?

      • volodya May 25, 2019 at 10:34 am #

        Yeah, 17 intelligence agencies my ass.

        I don’t know what to make of those guys. On the one hand a fair number put their lives at risk. But the crap they get up to and the failures. I read a few times that the CIA never saw the Iranian Revolution coming, and neither the fall of the USSR. How is this possible? If you put an elephant in a room with a gang of CIA types, one might see the trunk, another the tail, another a tusk, but none would see an elephant.

        As for Judy and her type, they talk shit, act stupid, but pretend they’re smarter than the rest of us, especially Deplorables. Makes me laugh.

        And yeah, she knew what was wrong with that statement. This is journalistic malpractice, abandoning any pretense of objectivity and impartiality and becoming the propaganda arm of the One Party-Two Faction governing class. Disreputable and worse still, pathetic. Pa-thet-ic.

  20. K-Dog May 24, 2019 at 11:43 am #

    I’m convinced, personally, that all this melodrama will play out against the background of a cratering global economy, tanking financial markets, and epic disruption of the established international order. Consider laying in some supplies.

    The melodrama will play out and it will backlash. Fear is the plan, a population cowed into submission the goal. In golden arrogance they think fear will keep them leading the pack. That fear can keep them receiving an unequal share.

      This population is already cowed into submission. Just think about how we have to ‘honor’ all of our warriors – police, firefighters, EMT’s, border patrol and, of course, all those who ‘serve’, fighting the endless wars.

      • Janos Skorenzy May 24, 2019 at 1:27 pm #

        Yes, the Police are a Tribe. They have no loyalty to the People – who are another Tribe. They have a little loyalty to those who sign their checks, but much as they may despise them they will serve them until a new master appears. The Elite show their favor by allowing the Police to kill with impunity. One recent case, Cop yells thru a fence, Put down the gun (an air pistol), and then fires .6 seconds later.

        • BornToKillPeace May 24, 2019 at 6:11 pm #

          No loyalty to the people? I wouldn’t either the way the public treats and talks about them, often to their face.

          For all the crap a normal, decent cop puts up with. They are the ones who take a hearty degree of abuse everyday. Not the public by the police.

          I don’t live in a wealthy or an entirely desolate area -yet.

      K-Dog,
      As is often the case, hatred is born of fear. And hatred can usually be referred back to a common fear (be it justified or MANUFACTURED for purposes of control by division).

      There are some very suspicious statements in this comment section that point to this. It’s time to *use* them to gauge how close the lock-down following this ongoing collapse might be.

      Yes, laying in some supplies is a *serious* consideration, and I’m quite sure our host has taken his own advice on the matter.

      • K-Dog May 26, 2019 at 4:20 pm #

        There has been a shift in emphasis. Policy is pushed more than before with inquiries being less inquisitive and more self serving statements of position being made.

        A change consistent with the new ormolu pen and pencil set in the bosses’ office.

  21. AKlein May 24, 2019 at 12:10 pm #

    Ah, JHK, your essay reminds me of my childhood; since that time I’ve not seen nor heard the word “ormolu”. My father, a professional restorer of objet d’art, would speak of ormolu at the dinner table upon occasion. I can certainly understand your reference of ormolu in the context of President Trump. Likely our president would also be fond of capodimonte to accouter his grand domiciles. Mr. Trump maybe a 21st century reincarnation of Trimalchio. No wonder he so irritates the would-be elites.

            As such, she can never appear to be ‘middle of the road moderate’, especially in the face of the freshmen committed progressives.

            About fucking time too. The US needs a ‘revolution’ akin, in terms of CHANGE in the system, to that of FDR in 1933 if there’s to be any hope of getting through the next phase of this shit-storm.

      Food prices are dropping due to the president’s dealings with China.
      Nobody talked about how high the cost of food went during the Obama administration, they don’t put variable costs in the CPI.

    Nick O Demus,
    Indeed, it do.

    Recipe;

    One can of creamed corn,

    Heaping tablespoon of brown sugar;

    1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

    Salt, pepper, a bit of butter, and small dollop of milk to adjust consistency, if too thick.

    In polite society, this would be called “Ghetto Corn”

    I have heard it described otherwise.

    Try this once, and you, too, can be accused of cultural appropriation. I was first exposed to this dish when eating at a cavernous ad hoc cafeteria cheek by jowl to the massive Post Office Regional Center in deep west Oakland. A steam table line in an old, cavernous warehouse…the food was…ethnic. Fried chicken seasoned with cayenne, chunks of watermelon, apple cobbler loaded with dough balls, the corn….

    Ate there twice…never saw anyone other than blacks in the place . Just after I left the department, an OPD officer was shot and killed at the front door of the establishment.

    West Oakland was a very bad place at the time…the streets the meanest.

    I found this at SBPDL–

    I remember my grandparents telling me about how back in the day there was some local park here in Maryland that had segregated beaches.
    I think it was Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, but not 100% sure.

    At one point, the blacks started over-running the white beach, and in general just making it miserable.

    So, one day, my grandparents decided to go to the black beach, out of curiosity. And, lo and behold, it was NICER than the white beach!
    So, they really didn’t care at all how good, or bad, they had it…they just wanted to be where Whitey was. Oh, and I’m sure that the black beach was kept up nice, thanks to Whitey…probably had to keep coming in on a regular basis and rebuild everything.

      Yes, their resentment and hatred, stemming from their inferiority complex, knows no bounds. BRH thinks they’d keep to their place? Only if MADE to like in the Old America. John Az thinks Capitalism is good? Only if it is FORCED to be good, as in the New America.

      Black kids think “White” Proms are boring just like Whites. But of course they want to go. Meanwhile they have their own proms with lots of bumping and grinding and twerking. But Whites getting to have their own Proms free from Blacks? Not happening.

      Although you may well be right you destroy your point with these weasel words.

      I had a boss who would casually ask me a question and I might answer “well, my best guess is blah blah etc.” He would turn on me like a snake and say “I don’t want to know your fucking best guess I want to know the exact correct answer.”

      I also learned never to begin a sentence with the words “I think…”

    Here’s a link to a column by Ann Coulter.
    http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2019-05-22.html
    I mention it because she mentions a couple of the anti-white offerings at a couple of our universities.
    I think someone here the other day was scoffing at the existence of such courses, but of course they exist, they are ubiquitous.
    It wouldn’t be hard to look up many more.
    I also mention Ann because I have mentioned the Republicans and their general lack of any reason for existing, and she mentions what they presently stand for. Tax cuts, abortion (they claim to be against it) and moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
    Whenever you hear “bi-partisan” that is code for really sticking it to Americans for the benefit of the political class.

    May’s Resignation, Nutcase Nancy, and Medvedev’s Stagnation

    Honestly, I’m a little tired of covering current American politics, and when John Durham was appointed as a prosecutor in the case about the beginning of the Mueller’s investigation, I took the opportunity to take some time off from this topic.

    I want to write about the Gothic art and its transformation into the art of the Renaissance as the history of the Middle Ages, transformed into the New Time, interest in which returns to the television of the West not accidentally, but because the masters of manipulation of public opinion feel that it is in this place that hearts resonate of millions of people in the West, and perhaps in the East.

    Instead, after the appointment of John Durham as a prosecutor in the case of the beginning of the Mueller’s investigation, I would have to write about the imminent US war with Iran, and Trump’s related conflict with Bolton and Pompeo, and also because of Pence’s conflict in Venezuela.

    I’m not talking about the World Economic Crisis, which is waiting for us around the corner because of the US-China trade war and nuclear war, which is waiting for us around the corner because of Ukraine and NATO’s demands to Russia to get the hell out of Crimea.

    And blood totally freezes in my veins from the thought of describing the delivery of numerous subpoenas from Democrats in the House of Representatives to Trump assistants and employees, which they throw into the wastebasket, and because of this, the Democrats are going to give Trump an impeachment, merciless and meaningless.

    But the fact is that after the appointment of John Durham as a prosecutor in the case about the beginning of the Mueller’s investigation, which I will call simply “the appointment of John Durham”, all these events, unlike those that occurred before the appointment of John Durham, can be called short but clear All Quiet on the Western Front, positional battles are taking place without any substantial advancement of the opposing sides.

    The fact of the matter is that from the point of view of the theory of World Projects, all these information reasons for changing pictures on your TV are operetta or, if you like, a musical comedy, even with a rather black sense of humor.

    But the real struggle takes place under the carpet of the Department of Justice, and let the bulldog corpses from there not yet be thrown out, but the quieter and longer this scuffle continues, the stronger my suspicions that there are already quite a few dead bulldogs under the carpet(sorry, K-Dog), but the winners are afraid to throw them out so as not to scare off more and more killers with trimmed tails who keep climbing under the carpet to the rescue of those already killed.

    The only source of information about the events under the carpet is the Game of Thrones.

    I once abandoned watching it, as it reminded me of “StarTreck” – a series about the space air-carrier of the 90s, which made it possible to find out how and under what pretext Serbs will be destroyed in a month or even two.

    And in vain, since the authors of this series, having filmed the books which the series was based on, set out on free sailing and without knowing it, illustrated both the War of the Roses and the Fourth Crusade and the Great Orthodox Empire of the Viking Knud the Great, which in Russia is absolutely unknown, despite, or rather, because Russia was a part of it.

    And you will not believe it, but immediately after the appointment of John Durham, my news feed was half filled with assumptions about how the authors would finish “the most successful series in the history of television,” and I, fool, did not turn on the TV to watch it.

    Meanwhile, for all of my Democratic friends, it talks about how good Hillary Clinton was until she got a little crazy about the desire to improve this world by establishing democracy with atomic dragon bombs. Her death in the film for them is a hint of the authors for the need for the Democrats to stop Bastinda themselves, until she arranges a nuclear war.

    And for my Republican friends, Daenerys’s death is the same, but the ending is “until she was stopped by Donald Trump and Attorney General Barr appointed by him.”

    And jumping ahead, I’ll say that it’s not the appointment of John Durham – he was actually appointed a year ago – the matter was to give him special powers to investigate the case of the start of the Mueller investigation and Donald Trump yesterday delegating the authority to Attorney General to declassify top-secret materials, including documents from FISA – the law governing the tapping of foreign leaders and Americans who come into contact with them abroad. But the last word is superfluous, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

    And I will write more about this TV series, but now I will say that if I watched this series on time, I would immediately understand that it was done in a hurry to meet the political realities of the United States and the international situation throughout the world, that is, Global War of the Roses.

    And then I could have predicted the Theresa May’s retirement today, which is also a consequence of the appointment of John Durham and possibly the first dead bulldog thrown out from under the carpet.

    Of course, it’s funny that it was the British Prime Minister who turned out to be such a bulldog, but in fact there is logic to this, stemming from the very concept of the Anglo-Saxon world.

    And on Russian television, the Putin renaissance was finally replaced by Medvedev’s stagnation, and if Solovyov Ukro-shitter, continuing for the past 5 years, still had some meaning, while Poroshenko was in power, then with the coming to power of Zelensky, it lost all meaning and I just can’t understand who is watching this …. (the comparisons come to my mind that I can’t say them aloud in the decent company).

    But recently, Solovyov was on the top of the Russian political programs that are watched in Brooklyn!

    Even recently, it was in this connection that I was surprised by Donald Trump, who is clearly get an overview of the statements about him by the Russian journalists. He clearly parodied Solovyov, saying recently that it would have been obviously easier for Vladimir Putin if Hillary Clinton had become president of the United States.

    Well, yes, of course it’s easier! I push the button, and off to Heaven I go along with all the multinational Russian people!

    And why do I have to talk with Trump for an hour and a half, and Heavens are getting further and further away after these conversations!

    And it went on until yesterday, when Trump quite officially declared that the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi was a little nutty and stuck the “Nutcase Nancy” label to her. – “Crooked Hillary” “Sleepy Joe” – and never misses a bit.

    And if he still used this weapon against Nancy Pelosi it means everything is over and I have to sit down to write about American and Russian politics, since now Russian politics is becoming part of American, whether I like it or not!

    My first question is what Mr. Brennan would tell a grand jury? Is the CIA above the law? They seem to think so. The CIA lies to everyone else so why not a grand jury? Ostensibly, a grand jury exists to root out the truth, something the CIA would claim the public has no right to.

    On the question of the trial of Julian Assange, how much of that will remain unclassified for public consumption? It’s not just a question of protecting HRC, but the whole edifice of elite prerogatives. It’s no exaggeration that the people who say they want him dead really want him dead or at least bricked up in some wall cavity. What Noam Chomsky said about the rest of us consigned to be passive observers is true. Assange has stepped outside is societal role and that cannot be tolerated. Assange teeters on the edge of the memory hole and the only thing the press can offer is ‘Thank God it’s not me.’

          Hillary is a self-serving person that wants to control the US under totalitarian means no matter what the banner. The Left following her wants uni-party control of this country at any cost. Trump, as an alternative infuriates their ambitions. Is she a Nazi, or a Communist or a fascist, who cares.

            Word have real meanings, and not just the fake ones sloppy people assign them. If you don’t mean Nazi, don’t say Nazi. She’s a Communist – that’s the simple fact, a disciple and friend of Saul Alinsky.

            The two are very different. You think they are the same because neither is Capitalist (now that’s sloppy thinking), but in fact, Communism and Capitalism allied against Nazism. That’s the simple fact. Those two have Much in common indeed.

      No. Never yes and no questions.
      One must use the socratic method. This is fundamental.
      Circular.

      You get him to answer small questions first that demonstrate that the CIA does not use traditional channels. Most investigative agencies need to have a legal advisor or DOJ attorney onboard. You get him to answer questions about the 4th amendment, administrative warrants and procedures where he will have to admit that they are not limited by them.

      Ultimately you get to him to admit that he is the final arbiter of the legality of an operation, or that they are not bound by law.

        That leads to the foreign nexus. CIA is prohibited from operating in the US? Myth

        Executive Order 12333 was signed by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981. It established broad new surveillance authorities for the intelligence community, outside the scope of public law.

        So, no scope? How far outside? Who sets the parameters?

    Chairman Nadler who is 71 appeared to go ashen gray & responded, “No,” when asked by NY Mayor Bill de Blasio if he was okay. Here’s hoping the Chairman didn’t suffer anything serious & will continue his investigations into the Mueller report’s findings.

      We just spent 35 million dollars and two years of pounding people for anything that could lead to Trump’s impeachment. The investigation was run by 18 Democrats, some of which were heavy Hillary donors.

      So now we are going to investigate the investigation. This needs to be put into a movie, a comedic farce.

    Yes. And one key reason is that the plotters knew they would be unable to gain the support of the American military.

    The military leadership apparently understands something of its Oath of Office … unlike those who have disgraced the FBI, DOJ, and CIA by their participation in this plot.

        They’ve been emasculated, downsized, and outsourced. Contractor scams are the true lifeblood of the American military these days.

Notice how NFL football games in particular are in such dire need of “defense” these days by our modern day live action heroes? A better recruiting alliance could never been found.

      Montsegur, great insight.

      What we’ve had in the West, until now, to a greater extent than other places and cultures, was something of the idea of the rule of law, even if it was imperfect in practice. A lot of places give the idea lip-service, a lot of others don’t even bother with that, making shit up as they go along. People having fallen into the sticky web of the Chinese system would know.

      Piss off Beijing and you’ll hear about it, even if you can’t find a Chinese statute that you disobeyed or a bureaucratic or regulatory directive that you disregarded despite your best intentions and mightiest efforts at compliance, and even business titans like Tim Cook will find themselves searching deeply within their souls, rethinking their convictions, writing highly respectful letters promising to never, ever, ever again transgress. You’re never really sure where you stand in China.

      In western countries it’s different. I think what you’re referring to falls under this rubric, that in assessing conduct, there are certain lines that must not be crossed and you KNOW where the boundaries are. The military follows civilian direction, end of story, the generals don’t call the shots.

      So that’s where the line is. But I think that in reality, what it comes down to everywhere, even in law-following places, civilian authority wields power at the sufferance of the men in uniform. Power, as Mao said, comes from the barrel of a gun, the law enacted by legislatures and interpreted by courts and validated by age-old practice and custom notwithstanding.

      Who has power? The man commanding the armored division has it, that power being to point a gun and intimidate, or pull the trigger and take life, and the man that commands the man that commands the armored division.

      As you point out, the army is still following the orders of the guy that the bureaucrats and intelligence chiefs tried to overthrow. The plotters fucked up magnificently, as you say, because they neglected to get the army behind them. For all their other failures, the army still understands which civilian authority gives what orders. A tip of the hat to the generals as it could have gone otherwise. This was a calamity averted.

      And, if the plotters knew they didn’t have the army behind them, why oh why did they try? It doesn’t speak well of the plotters’ collective sharpness.

      Interesting times ahead for sure.

    ““I should think that the idea of Adam and Eve …….that is …. the idea of a common ancestor for all mankind …..would appeal very much to someone who really liked people.

    Of course it does. That’s why it’s nice story. Some of it anyway. Some of it’s just projection of misogyny.

    Janos would like that bit. He often drops in a sarcastic ‘would a woman lie?”, completely unaware that the evidence shows that men lie more than women and certainly more than women for personal gain, while women are more likely to lie to be kind, by telling you you look lovely in that dress or no, it’s no inconvenience at all if you stay another three days. Both cheat of course, men rather more so, but Janos knows that. ”

    Even though it was the backward and primitive 1920’s and 1930’s they still did things like exit polling in Wiemar Germany.

    Relevance ?

    Women were consistently 51 to 54 % of the voting strength of the N.S.D.A.P.

    Granted , men wore the nice costumes and goose- stepped down the main street , and I guess that is very important …… somehow …..sort of .

    But the fact is the Nazis couldn’t have elected a dog catcher without women.

    It is things like that I think of when men like Janos trot out the women are irrational passives crap.

    Or when women trot out the misogyny crap.

    If the difference between the sexes was as marked as Janos seems to suggest , then we should never have heard of Adolf Hitler .

    Or , if the misogyny narrative were anything but the same crap in a different guise , we should never have heard of the American Revolution because a substantially better deal would have long since arrived for both sexes in the ancient , pagan , world where Goddesses , not uncommonly , took precedence over masculine .
    ones.

    • GreenAlba May 24, 2019 at 3:28 pm #

      I don’t see misogyny everywhere, Taser – but I do see it in a founding myth that has a woman being the cause of evil brought into the garden of Eden because she’s sly.

      I would have expected women to be just as caught up in the Hitler mania – I’ve seen pictures of crowds of them drooling over him.

      Not sure what that’s got to do with lying, or with Eve being seen as the eater of the forbidden fruit and the first guilty deserter of divine law who seduces Adam into sin.

      In the UK the Tories were voted in to a significant extent in decades gone by thanks to the conservative women’s vote – often put down to them being estranged from the world of work (apart from the very bottom classes where women had always worked) and therefore less keen on the Labour Party, which grew out of trade unionism. Then it all changed and women became less conservative and men slightly more so. They’re probably about equal now.

      A couple of questions about your comment:

      1. Is your repeated use of the word crap influenced by my comment the other day about Trump’s use of cuss words in public discourse or is it just coincidence?

      2. Why do you suppose the British called this marching style goose- stepping? I mean, why geese? There is a park across the street from me filled with Canada Geese and they don’t walk like this.

      • BackRowHeckler May 24, 2019 at 4:14 pm #

        Goose stepping apparently is exhausting, it wears you out quick, so troops would goose step in front of the parade stand and resume normal marching for the rest of the parade.

        In the mid 30s Stalin, upon viewing newsreels of SS troops goose stepping on parade in Berlin, was so impressed with it that he ordered his Red Army and NKVD formations goose step on parade in Moscow. During the 30s, there was goose stepping all around, in other words.

            The use of the word “child” when referring to something for which the correct term is embryo leads me to believe you have a rather tenuous grasp on the concept of reality yourself. People such as you tend to refer to such a thing as a baby, but you take an even greater connotative leap. If you and I are going to debate this issue we must first agree on the definitions of the words we are using. My preference is proper medical terminology rather than histrionics, drama and all that useless emotion, which is wasted on me.

            I commend your straight talking on this point. I rarely intervene in abortion discussions as I’m a bit of an anomaly in not liking abortion per se (beyond the very early stages you describe) and yet not being willing to consider it my business how distressed, unwillingly (and sometimes unwittingly) pregnant – and possibly very poor – women deal with the issue.

            But I agree with you that the ignorance (mostly of men, but not limited to them) of basic physiology in the matter is problematic. I had to correct someone already on here for using the word fetus repeatedly when they were referring to an embryo.

            A six-week embryo, which is proposed as the limit on abortion rights in some recent local upheavals on the matter, is on average a quarter of an inch across – the size of a pomegranate seed. And a ‘six-week embryo’ isn’t even six weeks old. It’s roughly four weeks old, but pregnancy is calculated from the start of the last period, while conception mostly takes place two weeks later than that. So the following week (7 weeks pregnant, but actually 5 weeks real gestation) it would be half an inch and already lucky enough to have more rights than the mother, under such legislation.

            Also, you never hear anti-abortionists using the more correct medical term ‘spontaneous abortion’ for a miscarriage, because they don’t like the connotations. For the religious ones, they maybe don’t like the idea that ‘God’ aborted the pregnancy, often because the embryo had a potentially serious abnormality. Doctors tend to use ‘miscarriage’ when talking to distressed parents because some might be further distressed by the word ‘abortion’.

            As Nightowl points out, the reality doesn’t change – it was still a spontaneous abortion.

            And I’ll believe the ‘using different terms doesn’t change anything’ brigade when they start referring to hens’ eggs as chickens!

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 8:27 am #

            Actually what I described in my first paragraph probably doesn’t make me much of an anomaly at all. Most people don’t like abortion even if they reluctantly accept that it should be part and parcel of our healthcare options in certain circumstances.

          • draupnir May 26, 2019 at 11:18 am #

            Green Alba – Hi. I think you are actually in the majority with your views. Abortion is an unpleasant thing, but I stand with the living. An embryo is only potential and logically can have no rights. Not even the Catholic Church actually believes that life begins at conception, no matter what they say. I believe their objection to abortion is purely on the grounds that an embryo must be maintained because it is a potential Catholic, and they are and have always been greedy that way. I know this, because if they actually believed an embryo was endowed with a soul, they would require that the product of conception be fished out of the toilet and baptized and disposed of with more dignity than you would give a dead goldfish.

            I used the term “miscarriage,” because I thought spontaneous abortion might be above Nightowl’s pay grade.

            The pathologists like to get a look at any spontaneous abortion that occurs in a hospital. I understand its a freak show of defects incompatible with life and fatal-in-the-womb genetic errors. But when they have had their look, the remains are treated like any other biologic waste and disposed of right along with the gallbladders and appendices and amputated feet and tumors that come out of surgery. Even the five-month fetus that died in my sister’s womb was treated no differently.

            The arguments of the pro-lifers are sophistry. Look to the way such sad little masses of tissue are actually treated in the world outside of an abortion clinic.

            “not liking abortion per se (beyond the very early stages you describe) and yet not being willing to consider it my business how distressed, unwillingly (and sometimes unwittingly) pregnant – and possibly very poor – women deal with the issue.”

            I think you’re both right. A recent survey showed that

            https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

            > 50% are in the “legal but regulated” camp,
            > 29% in the “legal whatever the circumstances” camp &
            > a mere 18% in the “Illegal under any circumstances”.

            So there must be a huge silent vote who are watching their state legislatures being taken over by the extremists, yet do nothing about it?

          • draupnir May 26, 2019 at 8:18 pm #

            Nightowl, Now that’s simply weak.

            I saw what you did there. In debate that is called an ad hominem attack. It is a technique used when the debater has run out of ammunition, but is not willing to concede the field. It is the only slightly more adult equivalent of calling me a poopyhead. In your case, it takes the form of oh so pitying superiority, but there’s no substance there. In the land of children, it would mean that you are now going to take your toys and go home.

    Trumpty Dumpty owes Mueller a huge debt of gratitude. Mueller’s the fixer. He contained the situation and saved another day for Wall Street because Wall Street LOVES Trump even though they don’t show it nearly enough.

    Trump’s one success was his tax cut. Funny how his handlers let that one through but nothing else. It reveals who really runs the country and it’s not Trumpty Dumpty, that’s for sure.

    Pelosi doesn’t want Trump impeached because he’s too perfect as a political foil & piñata. The Dems need Trump in office as the worst evil to their lesser evil. Trump has power in this respect and this respect alone. He defines them by making them react to him incessantly. They react to him 24/7 and so long as they do, they can’t and can never accomplish anything.

    Also, Pelosi doesn’t want to set a precedent of perpetual impeachment proceedings regardless of which duopolisitic party is in power. The corporations love it. So long as both parties play gridlock, there can be no further regulating legislation. They can grift to their dark heart’s delight.

      All true. Almost makes one wonder if this wasn’t the plan all along, doesn’t it? Oh, but that would imply one of those nasty conspiracy theories, wouldn’t it? And we can’t be supporting such ideas, can we? Could just be luck of the draw of course, too. Not like we don’t have a wealth of openly corrupt idiots in this country these days. But if Trump’s done nothing else, he’s pulled the veil of invincibility off Pelosi once and for all and revealed the hideous gas bag seething underneath. Her reputation’s – and likely the Dem Party’s as well – will never recover from the encounter. And at this point, whether anything ever gets better in DC again or not, the total destruction and ruination of the two party status quo is more than good enough. First the politicians and then the bankers and corporate swine should be the people’s rallying cry. Can’t eat the whole enchilada in one bite without getting sick.

    Nope , I didn’t compare you to ignorant trailer trash.

    I suggested the exact opposite.

    You described the book of Genesis AS IF you were ignorant trailer trash , WHEN I DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT IS THE CASE.

    If it isn’t the case , then why would you so describe it ?

    Characterize something in a way that you already know is a bogus characterization ?

    ” We entirely agree on the creation myth aspect. ”

    Oh ? So you agree that this aspect is that the subject of the Book of Genesis is an entirely different subject , not an attempt at biology textbook ?

    — i.e. Your characterization of the Book of Genesis was bogus and you already knew it to be so ?

      Like I said, I didn’t make you an offer. You’re responsible for what you make or take or believe. And if what you believe isn’t true, you’ll never know. Whereas if what I believe isn’t true, I will. Which should make you happy.

    The sham trial was just a way heal the bashed in brains of democrats that couldn’t comprehend how Donald Trump was elected, when his only supporters were rural, white trash racists. They got to imagine that it could all be corrected by the FBI and the Justice Department. And all seemed so possible, Trump had hired dozens of detestable con-artists, that left trails of debauchery all over the globe. But the trail just played on and on and nothing really ultimately came of it.

    But, now they completely forgot about the question of how the fuck did Trump get elected.

      “The sham trial was just a way heal the bashed in brains of democrats that couldn’t comprehend how Donald Trump was elected, when his only supporters were rural, white trash racists. ”

      According to the book “National Populism”, it is a myth that Trump was elected by rural white rednecks who are “Racist”.

      The data shows that Trump was elected by a broad coalition of rural and urban and relatively affluent voters united in their legitimate anxiety over loss of a common cultural identity.

        I know many in CA no less, that are white and educated and voted for Trump. One could say that it is the demographic I know, people associate with people with same beliefs, but most kept it very on the down low because who needs a bunch of crap from others. In the voting booth, one can vote what one wants and let others believe what they will. I find it offensive that the so called Trump voters are a bunch of losers and “deplorables” because it simply isn’t true.

    Nothing will happen in DC until 2020. If the Dems win it all, the country will undergo significant change as it jerks to the Left. If the 2020 candidates are any measure, uniparty control could be in the offing. If Trump wins and either or both houses go Dem, nothing will happen during the four years following.

    Lest we forget, this is what the Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution. The problem now is all issues are alarming and persistent enough to be addressed and the process cannot respond.

    Yeah, maybe. Thanks Jim. I think many people are grounded too far down at this point on a survival trip desperately attempting to pay down out of control payments on cars, homes & cards, all the while they are dealing with out of control kids or their own personal addictions. The palace intrigues in the grand old mansions of imperial city are too far removed for most people.
    So, again you offer good advice– lay down some supplies. That’s always good advice. I’d add spending a weekend or two if you can at some local estate sales out there to pick up some old farm implements out there for pennies. You just might need ’em.

    Trump gives Barr “sweeping new powers” to investigate the Conspirators? Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu (good, meet, appropriate, wonderful, dharmic, etc). He also goes around Congress to sell massive amounts of weapons to Middle Eastern allies. Not so good, but ballsy. Now will he go around them to enforce our borders?

    Bet he won’t. Of the above, the first is very personal and he has always had a ferocious desire to vindicate himself. The second is to please the Gang, his Neo-Con and Zionist friends. But the last? That would displease them greatly. And it’s only our hopes, dreams, and honor on the line – not theirs and not his. It should be his since he gave us his word.

    Who in the USA excluded the USSR from the list of winners in the Second World War?

    A storm swept across the RuNet:

    In the USA, they excluded the USSR from the list of winners in the Second World War!

    https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/chervonec_001/72877696/1742351/1742351_original.png

    I, too, was indignant to the depths of my soul, although there is nothing new in this, and in general, it is not clear what World War II was: who fought with whom, when and why – it is not clear.

    Hitler’s Germany was defeated by the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, and only the successor of the USSR – the Russian Federation – could decide who was an ally of the USSR in this war!

    And then I went to the website of the company Bradford Exchange, which issued a medal that caused the outrage. And it turned out that this company specializes in producing all kinds of knick-knacks, mainly of such dolls:

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/59/Gene_Marshall_doll.jpg/220px-Gene_Marshall_doll.jpg

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8f/Blythe_doll.jpg/220px-Blythe_doll.jpg

    Why the souvenirs produced by this company can worry anyone, no matter how stupid and disgusting they are?

    And after some reflection, I came to the conclusion that this is part of a campaign to incite hatred towards Trump America in Russia, which in fact treats Russia not just well, but with respect, which can change the very basis of relations between the two allies who defeated Hitler Germany, because despite the alliance, these relations were invariably bad after the murder of Roosevelt and the coming to power of Truman.

    And the campaign is successful – after all, not only people on wages, but also serious bloggers wrote serious articles about it.

      Who murdered Roosevelt? Many think that Stalin was poisoned by his Jewish doctor.

      • FincaInTheMountains May 24, 2019 at 9:44 pm #

        He was poisoned by the Russian female painter Elizabeth Shoumatoff who was commissioned to paint a portrait of President Roosevelt and started her work around noon on April 12, 1945.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfinished_portrait_of_Franklin_D._Roosevelt

        Stalin sent his representative with the request to make a post-mortem examination, but Eleonore denied the request.

        Stalin never forgave Eleonore for that and even denied her a visa to visit USSR.

        ============

        The anti-Semitic Doctors Plot was initiated by Khrushchev with the goal to deny aging Stalin qualified medical care.

          Are you trying to say his wife, the Communist Eleanor Roosevelt, had her husband, FDR, killed? Never heard that before, but who knows? She was an infamous person, apparently having Lesbian affairs, even one with a three hundred pound Negro actress who had appeared in Gone With the Wind.

          Jewish doctors, eh? Big problem everywhere.

    With the interminable, monotonous soap opera being staged daily, without fail, in DC by the politicos, an interesting news tidbit popped up.

    A SaudiAramco prospectus, dated April 2019, revealed that the cartel traded oil during the previous two years in currencies other than the petrodollar, specifically, the yen, yuan and euro. Also, Venezuela and Iran are both evidently trading oil in yuan.

    Unfortunately, cracks are starting to appear in the cornucopian goat’s horn filled with our American abundance. This horn is better known as the petrodollar which makes our high-on-the-hog lifestyle possible (that and the printing press). Now all the saber-rattling and Gulf of Tonkin-like incidents or false flags make sense.

    I wonder if tough-talker, saber-rattler Senator Marco Rubio will be willing to send his children to die in Iran for a fiat currency and the elites’ fraudulently gained fortunes. If the draft is reinstituted, there will be no 2S deferments. This time, the rich and poor, male and female, will all be serving, fighting and dying side by side. Unlike, Nam, the poor kids won’t be the only ones asked to man-up.

    • The energy won’t be there for Iran to mobilize its supposed 34,000,000 man muster.

      Its air force is going to be taken out as a matter of course, the instant they interfere with operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

      Then what?

      I would be a shooting gallery. Crippled instantly, no mobility, no anything. What then? Shoot rockets if you got ’em, while civil unrest erupts everywhere? Get pounded in every sand-dune, every mountainside? Try and hide whats left of the regular army in the population a la the Islamic state or the Taliban?

      And why would a draft necessarily be reinstituted? Theres no reason.

      Instigating defensive attack by the US by attacking its carrier groups carrying out freedom of navigation?

      Russia built a bridge across the Crimean peninsula – can Iran do this in the strait of Hormuz?

      No my friend. No… if Americans die in the Gulf and Iran had anything to do with it, the bombing would begin next day.

      And how many American volunteers would die? With the asymmetric modern warfare… some, many, even, but nothing like the Great Wars…

      So relax, and have a Li’l Debbie snack cake.

        You’re of course entirely forgetting about the economic and real world devastation that shutting off the world’s oil supply would cause, including of course the US military itself, which goes through the shit like an Appalachian coal country junky, which as it turns out, many of them actually are.

        Besides all that, the US military doesn’t really concern itself with trivial shit like personnel losses these days. They’ll send the families a souvenir flag and tell them to politely go fuck off and be done with them. They’re much more worried about (actually thankful for) expensive equipment losses and munitions expenditures, as they help ensure the monumental contractor graft flow continues unabated, which is the sole reason the military exists these days anyway.

        The US has mastered the art of the false flag. If oil tankers or American warships are attacked in the Persian Gulf, the iranians will be blamed but the wounds willlikely be self-inflicted.
        We dropped more bombs on Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia than in all of WWII and still couldn’t defeat the Communist North Vietnamese. After 18 years, the Taliban are still alive and well in another mountainous country.
        Will China and Russia sit idly by as we attack another large oil supplier, who they have deemed an ally?
        Fighting a war in the mountains is no easy task. If it occurs, we will see if we Americans have the stomach for it, when it is not about freedom but currency.
        Attacking iran will unleash an asymetricresponse, specifically, world-wide terrorism of the likes we have never seen before. We had better get our international travel plans accomplished early.

    Q, to pick up an earlier thread, Paid Family Leave bill in Ct …

    Its 12 weeks, with the possibility of a 4 week extension, covering all employees in the state, 100% of pay replaced up to $900 per week. The definition of ‘family’ seems to include domestic partners, sick pets, and good friends.

    With the new $15 per hour mininum wage, why would anybody ever start a business here, or try to keep an existing one going? Our cities, all ‘Sanctuary Cities’ , a long time ago assumed a 3rd world hue (English speakers a minority, bars on the windows of apartments and business, empty storefronts, dead downtowns, appalling crime, everybody on welfare, whites long gone, but still expected to pay for the whole sh#tshow)

      Why have there been so few movies/TV series made by Hollywood about Isabella of Castille/Spain? In fact, has there ever been one?

      She was by any measure one of the greatest women in history. Elizabeth I of England couldn’t hold a candle to her in accomplishments. It’s curious that such a potential feminist icon attracts such little interest in the world of Hollywood production projects.

        There is one Tate, indirectly.

        First let me say Spain has its own film industry, based in Barcelona. I might have mentioned one of the wife’s cousins is an actress who appears in a Spanish soap opera. I seen a few clips of these programs and they are hilarious.

        A few years back there was a movie produced by Penelope Cruz called ‘Queen of Spain’. It was about actress Macareno Granada — who appeared in a few Hollywood films too — who returns to Spain after WW2 to star in a film about Queen Isabella. Its kind of a comedy about both women, Macarano Granada and Isabella.

        In Spain history starts with the civil war 1936-1939. They are proud of Columbus, who was Venetian, not Spanish, but the Spanish Main, Cortez, Pizzaro, gold mines at Potosi, Silver in Mexico, conquering the Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, the whole empire 1500-1830 etc, not so much.

    “That’s not who we are.”

    Uncle Joe Biden

    “One of the core pillars of the EU is the free movement of labour, which allows people from EU member states to work and settle in other member states. The result was major flows of workers across borders as people from low-wage economies in Europe went to work in stronger ones that offered higher wages and better conditions. Many people in Europe supported the move, but significant numbers also saw it as a threat to their national sovereignty, culture and ways of life. Britain, especially, saw hundreds of thousands of low-skilled workers arrive from poorer states like Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. Shortly before Brexit, around one in two British people felt that membership of the EU was now undermining their nation’s cultural identity. Many now felt that the EU was turning into something quite different from the economic trading area that they had initially been promised. These worries would become central to the Brexit vote. Further evidence that the ‘permissive consensus’ was over came in 2005 when a proposed European Constitution that would have extended the EU’s reach into areas like justice and immigration was rejected by 54 per cent of the French and 61 per cent of the Dutch. In the same year, an annual survey found that only around half of people in the EU saw their EU membership as ‘a good thing’. Opposition was notably stronger among those without degrees and workers who not only struggled to relate to distant institutions but also shared a strong distrust of their political representatives and a belief that this integration was now threatening their national group. 15“

    “That’s not who we are.”
    Uncle Joe Biden

    “The rise of political distrust across the West has been compounded by the way in which politicians increasingly look the same and have become less representative of many of the people who elect them. There has certainly been improvement in some key areas. Legislatures in major democracies like America, Britain and France are today far more representative of historically marginalized groups. In all three countries the proportion of female and ethnic-minority lawmakers recently reached record highs. America’s 115th Congress in 2017–19 was the most ethnically diverse in the country’s history. These changes should be applauded. But when it comes to groups that provide the core support to national populism–the working class and less well educated–it is an entirely different story. Today, when these groups look at their representatives they often see people who have had a completely different upbringing, lead fundamentally different lives and hold very different values.“

      Goes without saying. Pols represent “interests” – increasingly of the “special” kind – and the one thing interests who deserve representing all share is economic clout. In a fully financialized monetary economy where literally everything has a settled value and cost the old saw “money talks and bullshit walks” is truer now than it’s ever been. To put it bluntly, the working class poor no longer has any significant value and the cost of simply ignoring them altogether is shrinking more with every passing day.

    Game of Thrones

    The finale of the Game of Thrones is certainly very different from the previous series, and it tells us about the changes that occur in the American intelligentsia.

    These episodes are actually a continuation of the theme of the nature of power as such, and the possibility of changing it, which was raised in The Lord of the Rings. This topic is most directly related to the crisis of the legitimacy of power in the West, which in the 20th century led to two World Wars, as I wrote in the History of Christian Art in connection with the works of Pierre Plantard, Dan Brown and Alexander Blok:


    The Twentieth Century’s more homeless still,
    And still more terrible its gloomy life;
    For even blacker and with vaster reach
    The shadow spreads from wing of Lucifer…

    The ceaseless roar outpouring from machines,
    That forge destruction through the day and night,
    The fearful knowledge of the fraud that marks
    Our petty thoughts and all our past beliefs,
    The first ascent of aeroplane in flight
    Into the void of undiscovered spheres
    And a revulsion from this life of ours
    And yet a frenzied love for life itself,
    And passion and a hate of fatherland…

    The Finale of the Game of Thrones is of course a continuation of the “Lord of the Rings”, and Daneris clearly looks like Bastinda, the Great and Terrible.

    The Dragon at the same time turns out to be an analogue of the absolute power ring and the symbol of humanity, destroying the iron throne, which was analogous to the absolute power ring in previous series, which certainly justified Bastinda.

    John and Tyrion are aware of the price of victory and decide to talk to Queen Daenerys about the need to stop the massacres:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shpJm_eO5Yk

    Daenerys delivers a victory speech in which she sets out the theory of Trotsky’s “permanent revolution”, and Tyrion, who is trying to stop her, is arrested:

    I think the Gnostics may have it right. The creator God of the bible is not God but the Demiurge.

    For now there is imbalance. Too many people are blind and deaf to the impulses of spirit. Further, they feed and defend the egotistical, primal, and irrational impulses that spring forth from negative programs and energies lodged in their subconscious. Lower subverts higher. These are not isolated cases; it’s an epidemic.

    It’s clear from observation that we are born with certain genetic design flaws, such as being handicapped against using our full brain capacity and being confined to mere five-sense perception. It’s also clear that the world we enter is generally antagonistic to spirit. Thus, both “nature” and “nurture” are set in opposition to spirit from the start. Only through much divine support and spiritual strength does an individual defy material determinism and use obstacles as stepping stones toward spiritual awakening. Such cases are rare, and it seems people are generally crushed, deformed, and shaped by such stones instead, as one would expect if spirit offers no counterweight to the determinism of nature and nurture.

    Interestingly, Gnostics viewed the Demiurge as not only the fashioner of this world, but also the maker of the human race. Likewise, some modern fringe schools of thought view negative hyper-dimensional entities as our genetic creators and ongoing spacetime manipulators. Indeed, there is clearly an external malevolent variable intruding into the human equation. This suggests evil is not always the product of human failings, rather human failings are frequently the product of an external evil.

    For too many humans, their lower egos have shut the off from spirit — their personal Demiurge is corrupt and has shut them off from Nous. But this merely mirrors a more universal manifestation of same. Our world appears to be in the grip of an entitized Demiurge with a strong self-preservation instinct oriented toward control. It fashions our reality and biases the probability of events in contravention to the divine design set forth by the universal Logos. It is the matrix gone awry, the thought-form of the universe turned parasite.

    • Never prouder to be a material athiest with clear ethical and moral foundation.

      How tiresome religion is, reaching for specious and derivative theories while the wonders of nature and marvels of science gather dust in the libraries or provide seed for profiteers. The so called ‘instruction’ or rather ‘indoctrination’ of children into this debased fantasy cult is has created generations of intellectual and moral weaklings unable to extricate themselves from their archaic tribal squabblings, dragging all enlightenment down to into a gutter of blood and waste….

      Looking forward to the abortion hysterics coming soon to legislative chambers near you, another distraction by these craven and immature dupes, in their never ending quest to restrain reason and let their wretched ideology rule over all.

    • Ol' Scratch May 25, 2019 at 2:25 pm #

      Not familiar with all of your terms here, but much profundity nonetheless. Organized religion has always been hijacked in service of entrenched power interests. No surprise there. And just like many of our current cultural myths (9-11 was the result of foreign terrorists who hate us and not a cabal of Zionist terrorists who opportunistically planned and used it as a casus belli for perpetual war based on a blatant lie), it gradually takes on a permanent life if its own, as succeeding generations simply follow the lead of their forebears.

      Simple-minded humans have always preferred to take cold comfort in established cultural myths and their associated culturally approved institutions and leaders, rather than exercise genuine agency for their own immortal “souls” and actions. That, in a nutshell, is the true conundrum facing our world today.

      What is “true evil” and what is “true good” in the world today, and who gets to define those terms? Further, what is my responsibility as an individual for the good and evil in the world and how should I live my life in response? Indeed, is good and evil primarily “out there” in my external environment as a result of the actions of “others,” or is it primarily “in here” within my own conscious awareness, and if so, am I projecting it outward on others as well. All the rest is just arguing over trivial details.

        That first paragraph, Yes, pre-revolutionary France. After the king this system was structured with organized religion comprising the First Estate.

    Can you just imagine the Democrat planning conferences:

    What does the media say?

    Read Trump’s tweets.

    What did Hannity, Ingraham say last night?

    Sum it up and line by line, profess the opposite view.

    Season it up with a little name calling.

    Release it to the MSM, all the pundits, the DNC and all the 2020 presidential candidates.

    That is so within 20 minutes after release, all Liberal elements are saying exactly the same thing, impeach, constitutional crisis, cover up, no Wall, no border crisis, collusion, Mueller, obstruction. I have yet to find a single Democrat that disagrees with a single item on the Democrat agenda. There are no individuality or common sense here.

    One of the greatest weaknesses of the other side’s response is the lack of coordination like this. I actually give the Left credit for this ability, but despise its effect on Washington DC.

      There is only one group in DC who is capable of doing it.

      What group would that be? I’m genuinely curious. I agree the political duopoly is part & parcel of what stymies progress, however, it must be pointed out that the unwashed have substantially varying perspectives about what constitutes progress. Denying women abortions is not progress. It’s the exact opposite. It’s Sharia law, American style.

      Progress is an effective and expeditious path forward to a sustainable world where humans learn to live in harmony and in balance with nature. Forcing women to carry epidemic consumers to term is not in keeping with that. Abortion is a symptom of a world out of balance. Balance the world and abortion will take care of itself.

      “There is no room in one’s life for bad news or a wrong decision. You are condemned to an existence that’s humanly impossible. And this is what the rich and the safe expect of those who are at the bottom. It’s how they judge the people on the streets. Those filthy men and women are labeled as lazy, as lacking character, as morally lackadaisical.”

      How does this author know what the rich & the safe universally think? This is a caricature. My experience is that those most likely to think in this moralizing way are those closest to being one of those unfortunates themselves.

      • Ol' Scratch May 26, 2019 at 8:07 am #

        My experience is that those most likely to think in this moralizing way are those closest to being one of those unfortunates themselves.

        Probably true, but who better to judge the effects of policies pushed by the rich than the deplorables? Implying individual character based on individuals’ actions is always problematic, but in the end, judging the effects of the policies themselves strongly implies intent, or at the very least intent to ignore. Either way, the rich can’t have it both ways and blame it on “the system,” while avoiding individual moral culpability altogether.

        “Are we our brother’s keeper,” as their religious dictates command them, or is that all just eyewash for occasional pious Sunday mornings in church? I think we all know the answer to that.

          “It’s easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle than to enter the gates of Heaven,” said Christ. The rich are practiced in deception & less likely to moralize in the simplistic way described. If anything, nowadays, they posture in exactly the opposite way, to condone illegal entry into this country for instance.

          • Majella May 26, 2019 at 11:02 pm #

            I believe it’s actually – ” It is easier for a camel to go through the Eye of the Needle than for a rich man to enter heaven’.

            Yet so much of the current evangelical ‘revivalism’ is driven by the bullshit “Prosperity Gospel”. In this particularly obscene corruption of ‘religion’, the poor saps are induced into thinking that adherence to ‘Christ’ (actually their fraudster ‘Pastor’) and spending money INTO the ‘Church’ will give them the financial wealth they so desperately seek.

They will destroy him once he is no longer useful to them. We will too now. But it could all be different if he would just remember his words and knock down the Edifice of Oppression and build the Wall once and for all. There isn’t anything left to lose so why not?

    Eternal Call and the Game of Thrones

    The title of this post is called “Eternal Call” in honor of the book and film in which the future Voland, temporarily turning into a Russian nationalist by the name of Lakhnovsky, presents a plan first in the form of an officer of the gendarme branch of the Russian Empire, and then in the form of an officer of the Abwehr.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Call

    This plan, known in Russia as the Dulles plan, is in fact part of what I call the “Black World Project of the West”, but naturally the “holy” Bernard of Clairvaux did not consider that “man wants to live and eat”, and live as long as possible, and eat as sweet as possible, but the fact that these words, becoming ideology, allow the “people of the spirit”, which he considered real Christians, to manage millions of “people with a cross on their necks”, as well as the fact that the hatred “towards people with Jewish blood” makes it possible to turn millions of Orthodox Christians into adherents of what he considered Catholicism and I call the Fourth Crusade.

    And it is not surprising that the first person to publish the “Dulles Plan” in 1993 in the newspaper “Soviet Russia” was the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga John (in the world Ivan Matveevich Snychev). And even assuming that this entire article belongs to his pen, the difference between the caution with which he mentions such a source as the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, with the confidence with which he attributes the following words to the CIA creator Allen Dulles:

    Having sowed chaos in Russia, we will imperceptibly substitute their values for false ones and make them believe in these false values. How? We will find our like-minded people, our assistants and allies in Russia itself. Episode by episode, the tragedy of the death of the most rebellious people on Earth, the final, irreversible extinction of their self-consciousness will be played out, grandiose in scale.

    From literature and art, we will gradually eradicate their social essence. We will disaccustom the artists, discourage them from being engaged in depicting of those processes that take place in the depths of the masses.

    Literature, theaters, cinema – everything will depict and glorify the most base human feelings.

    We will in every way support and raise the so-called creators, who will implant and grind into the human consciousness the cult of sex, violence, sadism, betrayal – in a word, all immorality.

    In government, we will create chaos, confusion.

    We will quietly, but actively and constantly contribute to the tyranny of officials, bribe takers, unprincipled. Red tape will be elevated to virtue. Honesty and decency will be ridiculed and no one will need them, they will turn into a relic of the past. Rudeness and arrogance, lies and deceit, drunkenness and drug addiction, animal fear of each other and shamelessness, betrayal, nationalism and enmity of peoples, above all hostility and hatred of the Russian people: we will cultivate all this deftly and imperceptibly.

    And only a few, very few will guess or understand what is happening. But we will put such people in a helpless position, turning into a ridicule. Find a way to slander them and declare the dregs of society.

    And it is not surprising that it was he, because if you look closely, it becomes clear that Lakhnovsky’s words are directed not so much against “communist fanaticism”, but rather against Christ.

    And the words in this article about such a dubious source as the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and their publisher Nilus are most likely inserted by one of his students – I can not imagine that Metropolitan John did not know about the attitude toward Nilus of Metropolitan of Leningrad Saint Seraphim Chichagov, who expelled Nilus from the Optina Hermitage.

    But the most interesting thing is that before the plan was applied in the USSR to the Soviet people, or as we now understand to the Russian and Orthodox peoples, which became part and parcel of the Soviet People during the Great Patriotic War, it was used in the United States on the American people in the course of fierce fights between pop art – abstract expressionism, and, as it has been repeatedly in Russia, the World Projects turned upside down, as pop art in the person of Jasper Johns and Leo Castelli defended “Orthodox” values and abstract expressionism spawned “American intellectuals”, which eventually turned into a social base of Clinton-Nazism.

    And for Russia it is critically important, because Clinton-Nazism, through the Ministry for Combating Education, is now penetrating Russia and no one can predict what consequences this will have.

    But the finale of the Game of Thrones, which I described in a previous post, as well as aggressive attacks on it in the liberal press, showed that I was right and it was really perceived by the Americans as an attack on Hillary Clinton and the Black World Project.

    And although no one has read the previous post, and certainly no one watched the videos from Game of Thrones presented by me, but I assure you, my dear readers, that these videos mean a very important thing: it is precisely that the American intelligentsia, or rather the American intellectuals, are beginning to recover from abstract expressionism, which degenerated into Clinton-Nazism.

    And perhaps this also caused the appointment of John Durham, some of the results of which I described in this post May’s Resignation, the Nutcase Nancy, and Medvedev’s Stagnation.

    What do you think of narcissistic Liberals? Or is this a rhetorical question? What advice do you have for a bloke with irritable bowel syndrome wearing one of those purple funky hazmat suits?

    “Moreover, the legal scholar Cass Sunstein has shown how social media plays a role in polarizing voters by targeting messages at like-minded people. Empirical evidence points to the fact that many people on both sides of the political divide are highly selective in what they read and tend to see opposing views as deceitful even when the information comes from expert sources. 28 These issues are linked closely to political correctness, which is targeted by national populists who argue that the closing down of debate over difficult issues like immigration has been encouraged by distant and more culturally liberal academic, urban and political elites. ‘I think the big problem this country has’, said Trump in 2015, ‘is being politically correct.’ His opponents in the media responded by attacking his braggadocio, xenophobia and sexism giving rise to his recurring complaints about ‘fake news’. But national populists do have a point. Even left-leaning scholars like Mark Lilla link the growing polarization of America to the rise of ‘identity liberalism’, an increasing fixation or near-total obsession among Democrats and the liberal left with race, gender and ‘diversity’ rather than traditional left-wing concerns like how to improve conditions for all workers and tackle inequality. 29 The scale of this polarization is reflected in a growing tendency to view these issues from a partisan perspective. In 2017, for example, the Pew Research Center found that while 95 per cent of African American Democrats and 73 per cent of white Democrats agreed that ‘white people benefit from advantages in society that black people do not have’, only 23 per cent of Republicans agreed. 30 While these views are partly a reaction to ongoing racism and discrimination, Lilla rightly argues there has emerged a new generation of liberals who are ‘narcissistically unaware of conditions outside their self-defined groups, and indifferent to the task of reaching out to Americans in every walk of life’. Hillary Clinton talked much about African Americans, Latinos, LGBT communities and women, but she spoke much less about working-class whites without degrees. When large numbers instead turned to Trump they were presented as ‘angry white men’, a misleading caricature that in Lilla’s eyes absolves liberals of recognizing how their obsession with diversity encouraged these voters to think of themselves as a disadvantaged group who were being ignored and whose identity was under threat. They were reacting against the growing rhetoric of diversity, or what they saw as ‘political correctness’.“

      “President Bill Clinton announced to applause in 1998 that America’s white majority was doomed to demographic displacement:
      Today, largely because of immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii or Houston or New York City. Within five years there will be no majority race in our largest state, California. In a little more than 50 years there will be no majority race in the United States.
      [Applause]

      “This kind of demographic triumphalism has become central to the Democratic Party’s strategy of assembling a coalition of the margins of American life—e.g., blacks, immigrants, Jews, Muslims, billionaires, transgenders, lesbians, and felons—united only by their resentment of core Americans.

      “Recently, though, Establishment figures have started to notice that some core Americans resent their inundation. It has therefore become more common to try to walk back this famous forecast, as a recent New York Times headline declared:
      Why the Announcement of a Looming White Minority Makes Demographers Nervous

      “…Mary Waters, a sociologist at Harvard University, remembered being stunned when she saw the research. ‘It was like, ‘Oh wow, these nerdy projections are scaring the hell out of people,’ she said.”

    After Multiple Deployments, Coming Home to a Changed Country

    The suburbanization of one soldier’s Nebraska hometown becomes a metaphor for the civilian-military divide and our failed war policies.

    By JOHN Q. BOLTON • May 10, 2018

    No, not that John Bolton!

    “I found people expecting me to confirm things they already believed about our military in order to affirm their confidence in America. The trouble is I don’t share that confidence. My 40 months deployed since 2006 have left me with a hard edge. To be sure, I am proud of my country and certainly feel a strong desire to continue service past my thankfully short time left in uniform. But I temper that loyal desire with hard-earned realism about the capacity of the military to deliver on the blind faith the public reposes.

    Perhaps condescendingly, I felt most people back home were naïve or at least perpetually misinformed. Consideration or debate beyond the platitudes didn’t occur. No matter their education or worldliness, most Americans retain their supremely American-esque limited interest in politics and foreign and military policy. Much-needed realism, if not satire, is absent from our sacred military, because the public either regards it as sacrosanct or detestable. Worst of all, the public is apathetic about their military.

    From otherwise considerate and intelligent friends and family I heard comments like “Hope your killing lots of those f–kers” and “Kick some ass over there,” despite the lack of any serious, let alone existential, threat to the American homeland posed by extremists in Afghanistan. Even well-meaning people, it seems, don’t want to understand what our policies hath wrought, at home and abroad.

    Many consider it patriotism, but this feeling is specious, insipid, and self-destructive. Calls to “do something” ignore the two-fold genesis of terrorist threats against us: domestic instability in Islamic countries and American actions. The truth is that America is exhausting itself in internecine wars of choice across the greater Middle East—actions that exacerbate instability. War has bankrupted our nation during a time of effective peace, without any discernible threat comparable to the costs, though the media certainly doesn’t help the public see the threat clearly. The wars have also contributed to our fractured politics, as we ignore guns versus butter by using debt and conduct specious freedom versus security arguments.

    America is “fast becoming a country undone by war.” As Christianity declines, Americans have chosen a less demanding, syncretic national religion: military hero worship. I’m not a hero, but I felt people wanted me to affirm their beliefs. Rather than turn a skeptical eye toward our militarized foreign policy, Americans seem determined to support the military regardless of cost or efficacy.

    I think serious military professionals should find this insulting and disheartening. The military isn’t sacred and its members aren’t all heroes (though military heroes undoubtedly exist in droves). Tragically, military hero worship has created a separate caste of military professionals: effective, well-trained, and distant. It has made the cost of our wars palatable because the human dimension is absent from discussion. Ironically, the military doesn’t have a supply problem—it has a demand problem. It is over-extended, to the detriment of other elements of national power.

    After a career fighting them, I can attest that America’s wars are harmful to our people, politics, and liberty—a “form of prolonged ritual suicide.” With no unifying vision or principles, huge swaths of the people have turned tribal. This Sunni versus Shiite breakdown of the American electorate will release shards that leave permanent cultural wounds.”

      I wish our military would defend the integrity of our own borders. If we are not involved in war that directly threatens the homeland then we shouldn’t have any troops stationed overseas.

    I see mostly newer looking cars on the road.

    It’s yet another, of so many, example of the class war. Increasingly, the “market” is making it impossible for the poor, who’s numbers are growing, to leave their immediate surroundings. Public transportation is dying on the vine with budget cuts as far as the eye can see. The “market” makes buying a used car cost prohibitive via higher interest rates and, get this, higher insurance rates. See, used cars don’t have all the latest, greatest life-saving technology so insurance companies are using this to charge exorbitant premiums to those who can only afford increasingly unaffordable used cars. If the slaves have no means to make it to work where they labor for next to nothing, a pittance, how do the elite expect to continue their lavish lifestyles where the unwashed wipe their gnarly asses 24/7?

        If the likes of Stephen Miller are willing to pick peanuts, or watermelon, for peanuts, then corporations will refuse to hire the “illegals” and they won’t come any longer. What I’d give to see ALL of DC picking watermelons and peanuts and cotton and litter for the rest of their born days as penance for their debauchery. It would be grande, wouldn’t it? Or do you think that’s not very nice and it’s much more fun to pick on defenseless women & children at the border? Is that more your speed? About as brave as you get?

        The illegals aren’t the issue, in this instance.

        It’s the current ‘middle class’ (ha!) American who’s just had her job canned, or switched to a zero-hour contract, or just had a medical event and the deductible is so much she can’t meet it so will probably lose her home…and so it goes in the Land of the Free & the Home of the Brave.

    The following incomplete list comprises what is part & parcel of the root of the problem. These various dimensions protect the root and enable the weeds to flourish.

    1. The media. Trump’s wrong, it’s not fake news. It’s propaganda which is much more insidious & clever than mere fake news. That means all the conservative media too. It’s all duplicitous propaganda meant to sell the destruction of our planet via rampant, mindless consumption of shit no one needs.

    2. The political duopoly. Wall Street owns and controls both parties and, yes, that includes Donald Trump. If Wall Street didn’t like Trump. he’d be Six Feet Under right now. The fact his supporters support him is proof of how braindead they really are. They are some of the dumbest humans to ever live, if you can call what they do living.

    3. The lawyers. Lawyers are scumbags. It’s a dishonorable profession despite the few rare exceptions who have a conscience and some semblance of morals & principles. Dick the Butcher knew what to do with lawyers. Modern man has no idea.

    4. The NGOs. The NGOs are used to soften a target country for the financial predators to swoop in and steal the target country’s resources and keep said target country in a perpetual state of controlled chaos as the predators of finance pick the carcass clean and draw the last drops of blood from every unturned stone.

    5. Least, but not last, the political consultants. They are the true devil’s advocates. Immoral, or amoral, scumbags. The worst of the worst.

    Beware the political consultants, for they are the devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, they connive and kill for sport, or lust or greed. Yes, they will murder their brother to possess their brother’s land. Let them not breed in great numbers, for they will make a desert of their home and yours. Shun them. Drive them back into their jungle lair: For they are the harbingers of death.

    The Gas Chambers were to delouse clothes and prevent disease. They saved lives. They were very small – too small for killing lots of people. The big, bogus, tourist gas chambers were built after the War.

      “Some odd capitalization. Donald likes to do this too. Hmmm…”

      Donald has the excuse of some German parentage which perhaps peeps partially through subconsciously in the occasional capitalisation of nouns! I thought this might be the case with Janos but he recently confided that his ancestry is British. I don’t think he’d choose that at all as a lie, given we Brits are a ‘fallen’ race in Janos’ ‘cosmology’, to borrow someone else’s term. It’s a cross he bears with some reluctance, I think.

      The mega-crass comment about the gas chambers (sorry, Gas Chambers) lends credence to previous suggestions that the Janos entity’s function on here is to draw moths to the neo-Nazi flame to have their flapping monitored by those who like to keep an eye on such things.

      It seems to work with the likes of Revilo, JiminBerchtesgaden and a few others having come out of the woodwork as proud neo-nazi boys. I feel, despite her explicit pining for a white Christian caliphate (sorry White Christian Caliphate), complete with American Ayatollah, that SSL is such an impressionable character that she could probably be debriefed and de-radicalised by the right person. A young, really handsome Christian evangelical but with strong anti-fascist beliefs – based firmly in his Christianity – might do the trick, if he had a way with words. 🙂

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 2:18 pm #

            I don’t think you’ve quite got the system, brh. What is about to be voted for is a new leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party.

            This will be up to the Parliamentary Conservative Party and the Conservative Party Membership.

            As I am not part of either of these august entities, I deserve no say in the matter. Neither does Sadiq, who is a member of the Labour Party.

            EVENTUALLY, there will be an election, in which the leader of the winning party will become PM.

            In the meantime, I’d put my money on the blond buffoon becoming leader of the Tory party and hence PM for the duration, unelected by da peepul exactly like Tearful Treeza.

            I could of course join the Tory party in order to try to influence the vote, then leave. There is a precedent for this sort of thing (when lots of Tories joined the Labour party to try to keep Jeremy out of the leadership) but the parties have got wise to it and I believe they now insist on a minimum length of membership before granting party leadership voting rights.

            So I’m but an observer, exactly like yourself. If I had to choose I’d go for Rory Stuart (a Brexiter) but he has no chance.

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 2:42 pm #

            Boris played a long game and it looks like he will win.

            As I’ve mentioned before, it is known that during the Brexit campaign, he wrote two polar opposite columns for the Telegraph (for which he gets more than his previous ministerial salary). One supported Brexit and the other made an equally strong case for Remain.

            In the cold light of day, Boris had a good think about which choice would more likely propel him to the position of Prime Minister. And he seems to have chosen the right one.

            However, since Boris has a lot of fans (and was a keen pusher, if not creator of yon promise on the side of the bus), had he chosen Remain, it might just have tipped the balance entirely the other way, since there was so little in it.

            So Boris might have ended up PM either way one day.

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 3:57 pm #

            You may not have heard of Rory Stewart, brh (sorry not Stuart), but you may. Some Hollywood bod wants to make a film of his life. Might be Brad Pitt, but don’t quote me.

            He’s a quiet-spoken, thoughtful chap. Fought in Afghanistan and did an excellent historical TV series on the Border country (ours). No oil painting, though, which is a hindrance these days.

            His dad was a top level spook, which I try not to let influence my judgement!

        Wow Alba isn’t that so cute. Interesting theory but those type of accusations are a dime a dozen on this forum. K-Dog was certain that I was SoftJanosLite or something like that until the last thread. Then because I put two words together in one sentence (you helped him notice it and he was eternally grateful) he then announced a eureka moment in which he bestowed me with individuality.

        The point is you can lob around accusations all day and it really doesn’t matter because there is no way to prove it one way or the other. But can you actually convincingly argue your points? I’m partial to the White Ayatollah by the way. You can never beat the logic of an ultra nationalist race realist.

          I know you’re partial to the Ayatollah, you said so. That’s why I quoted you.

          I didn’t accuse you of being JanosLite.

          “You can never beat the logic of an ultra nationalist race realist.”

          You can’t argue with the logic of gas ovens as a way of removing millions of Jews either. It’s not about logic; it’s about the kind of society you prefer.

            You missed my point precisely. I never said you accused me of being JanosLite. But you are making an accusation about him and my point is at the end of it it is just another of many theories thrown around here. Perhaps his statement was intentionally sarcastic because the line of discussion became a bit silly? And again I never suggested a caliphate would be good for you. You have made it crystal clear that race and culture are dubious to you altogether anyway.

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 3:45 pm #

            I’m not making an accusation about him. I’m saying there have been accusations previously. And his statement lends credence to that.

            You think his statement was intentionally sarcastic?

            You seem to lack a sense of basic decency. And the way you keep defending Janos gets a bit pathetic, don’t you think? Don’t you think he can defend himself?

            “And again I never suggested a caliphate would be good for you. “

            What did you have in mind for me? Am I to hang from the walls or just go in the stocks? I take it you will be rescinding the 1st Amendment in your caliphate? Otherwise there wouldn’t be much point in having a caliphate, would there?

            I never said race and culture were dubious. I think people who obsess about them above all else are dubious.

          • SoftStarLight May 26, 2019 at 4:32 pm #

            Of course he can defend himself. And I didn’t think I had made a defense other than saying basically that accusations are just that….accusations. I don’t have anything in mind for you Alba lol. We live in different countries far away from one another so I can’t imagine an occasion where I could impose anything on you. As if I would do such a thing anyway. See I should be offended and taken aback but I refrain because the totalitarian thing is just a grenade that is always going to be thrown in these discussions. If you don’t want to live in our society you would be free to depart to a more appealing location. You can take all of your possessions with you too. No hard feelings. But if you don’t love us it could never work out anyway so peaceful separation is normal and healthy.

            Back a few years ago, I was a FIRE BRAND on CFN and had been banned twice. You would have to go back to mid-2016 and prior to read my really potent stuff. Since our Benevolent Host has also banned truly annoying Leftists, I no longer hold any grudge for being banned in the past.

            I came on board after merely being a content reader of JHK’s commentary on the dysfunction of suburbia. But, then I started perusing the comment section and saw MY HERO. **JANOS SKORENZY** and fighting the good fight all by himself. I enlisted and joined him in the trenches.

            As for my use of, “we.” I’m just practicing INCLUSION and wanted you to be included! I’m not an exclusionary racist like you, Green Alba, who hates Whites.

    Red Dragon of Lancaster and “Game of Thrones”

    I began to read “A Song of Ice and Fire” in 1996, and then I already knew who Abbot Suger was, but I still didn’t know how the gothic light and rose windows differ from the gothic style of the western facade.

    And my ideas about the Plantagenets were mainly based on “Ivanhoe” by Walter Scott.

    Nevertheless, I immediately realized that George Martin was talking about the War of the Roses, because not to understand that the house of Targaryen is Lancaster was simply impossible, at least because of the Coat of Arms of the Targaryen – Red Dragon of Lancaster, about which I wrote a lot, and which, over time, through Marx, turned into a Bolshevik party.

    But when this saga was turned into an anti-Serbian instrument, I lost interest in it, and not only in it, but also in the series, which was originally a screen version of this saga. Of course, I took a pick into it, but no more than for 15 minutes, and the only thing I understood from these picking is that it was made by addition of the occult and quite frank erotica to the “Lord of the Rings”.

    And so it was before the 12th of May on Sunday, when I realized that this series was used as a political tool in the revitalization of the Black World Project, which I wrote about on May 6.

    The number of articles about the Game of Thrones just went off the scale, crowding out messages about the Constitutional crisis in the USA, and I began to delve into this issue through Wikipedia and watching videos on YouTube.

    And I immediately realized that dragons mother Daenerys Targaryen was preparing to turn into a victorious Hillary Clinton from the middle of the 6th season, and the analysis of these publications made me suspect that this time Bastinda wants to make a world-wide coup and eliminate Donald Tram by eliminating Vladimir Putin, and dragon means her use of nuclear weapons.

    But I was wrong. The ending of the 8th season turned out to be a completely separate work of art that has nothing to do with the previous series, and Daenerys turned out to be an allegory not only of Bastinda, but also of her predecessor and teacher – Lev Trotsky.

    And her throne speech after victory is a practically exact statement of Trotsky’s Theory of the Permanent Revolution.

    Conversation of Tyrion and Jon snow turns out to be a call for the American intelligentsia to stop supporting Hillary Clinton.

    And her murder by Jon Snow, given the time needed for filming and editing, turns out to be a prediction about the appointment of John Durham as a prosecutor in the case of the beginning of the Mueller investigation.

    But most of all I was shocked by Drogon, who from a weapon of mass destruction turned into the most humane of characters, really “having love”, and not like a dog, but a man, because to think of destroying the iron throne as a symbol of the ring that Daenerys wanted to destroy, but herself becomes its axis, could only a being with the ability to symbolic thinking – the main difference between man and animal.

    And I still do not know how to interpret this, but I feel with my heart that this is also a prophecy about the very near future.

    IN THE ‘HEROS DIE HARD’ CATEGORY,

    The MLK tapes: Secret FBI recordings accuse Martin Luther King Jr of watching and laughing as a pastor raped a woman, having 40 extramarital affairs – and they are under lock in a U.S. archive, claims author

    • 450.org May 26, 2019 at 12:34 pm #

      Sure, I bet. I also bet the author is Tom Arnold. The MLK tape is sitting right next to the Trump pee tape no doubt.

        Read the letter the FBI sent MLK to try to convince him to kill himself

        How telling the Dems have cozied up to the immoral, evil alphabet agencies since the rebellious protests of the 60s and early 70s. Comey & Mueller were scumbag FBI Directors and therefore cut from the same cloth of Hoover & Sullivan who implored MLK to commit suicide.

        From the article.

        Though the letter was unsigned and the letter writer appeared to want King to think he was black — “you know you are a complete fraud and a great liability to all of us Negroes,” one line states — King and his advisers quickly concluded the letter had been sent by the FBI, Gage writes.

        “There is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days,” the letter says, apparently urging King to commit suicide. Fortunately, King didn’t back down. But the letter is a terrifying reminder of what government surveillance agencies can be capable of.

    Putin now is ready to take on economic challenges facing Russia

    Former presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak announced the resignation of presidential aide Vladislav Surkov.

    The board of directors of the United Aircraft Corporation, which manufactures Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft, will be headed by Anatoly Serdyukov, former defense minister and director of the aviation cluster of Rostec State Corporation.

    Most likely these two news means that Vladimir Putin made a strategic decision – there must be a revolution from above!

    Prior to that, he was engaged in preparing for war with America of Hillary Clinton, and it was impossible to change the economic structure of society in this situation. And now, if I’m right and the immediate threat has receded, it’s time to clean up the house.

    P.S. And I will soon describe my conjectures about why it was during these years that Putin chose to deal with a liberal economy, but in principle it’s clear that liberals are stealing less than Orthodox patriots – it’s enough to recall the Orthodox banker Pugachev.

    • JimInFlorida May 26, 2019 at 3:09 pm #

      Because Trump rescinded our participation in the Iran Nuclear Deal (even though Iran had honored the terms), Iran now has no ability to buy the airliners it wanted from Boeing. They were forced to place orders with Boeing as part of the Nuclear Deal.

      Putin has a golden opportunity here. He should have Russia’s airline manufacturers go to Iran and show them how to build the Tu-134 domestically. I imagine that Iran has a sufficient industrial base to build that particular model and under license. The objective being to strengthen ties with Tehran and deter U.S. mischief.

      A modernized Tu-134 should serve Iran’s need for medium range airline service and they won’t be dependent on a fickle and politically-vulnerable supply from the U.S.

      The Sukhoi Superjet, as I understand it, is more Airbus than Russian. Makes sense because Russia’s commercial aviation industry was bought up for pennies during the Yeltsin liquidation sale. IMO, it would be smart for Putin to bring back Russia’s commercial aviation industry via partnerships that are entirely outside of U.S. control.

    You can watch the cross topple like we’ve watched our Confederates monuments topple.

    Confederate monuments in West Hartford, Connecticut? I had no idea.

    Who erects monuments to losers any way? If Lincoln was Daenerys, there’d be no monuments and there’d be no South. There’d be no Evangelicals and there’d be no anti-abortion legislation. She would have destroyed every last vestige of the South — all of its despicable history & heritage and in its place planted the seeds of a new dawn and a new day, one where ALL men and women are equal. Instead, we got over a hundred more years of civil rights abuses because the North couldn’t stomach total defeat and as this recent debate has proven, total defeat was ABSOLUTELY necessary.

    BRH, move from your Yankee stronghold to the deep South and help protect the monuments to LOSERS if you prize them so much.

        As I understand it, most of the monuments were put up because of hate. They weren’t erected just after the War, but during the Jim Crow years as symbols of intimidation.

        Just what I’ve read…

        • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 2:57 pm #

          Not that I’d advocate knocking them down, but I’d make sure the information on the plaques was information and not propaganda. I haven’t read any of them, though – maybe I will before I die.

          • SoftStarLight May 26, 2019 at 3:12 pm #

            Hate is always associated with all things Confederate. The reality is that the victors side of the story becomes history. I am sure many emotions went behind the making of the monuments. And the distinction between information and propaganda is kinda subjective don’t you think?

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 3:38 pm #

            Of course it is, that’s why you’d need to have plaques that everyone in the relevant city is happy with.

            And there would need to be some actual ‘facts’ in there. In fact, verifiable facts would be the best thing to put up there.

            But I wasn’t associating hate with the Confederates, but with people who erected statues sometimes decades later to intimidate people who were already intimidated by not having civil rights.

            If that was indeed the motivation, which some think it was.

            Surely if you get to keep the statues – some of which were erected many decades after the events – you wouldn’t insist on having the plaques all your own way too? People who don’t like the statues have to look at them every day. Nobody has to go up to them and read the plaques unless they’re interested.

            Not my fight, though, just sayin’…

          “As I understand it, most of the monuments were put up because of hate. They weren’t erected just after the War, but during the Jim Crow years as symbols of intimidation.”

          Or maybe the Southern people were so impoverished after the war that they couldn’t afford monuments until decades later?

          And what an arrogant, scurrilous suggestion, that monuments to honor loved ones who within living memory had fallen on the field of battle, were to honor hatred.

    Here’s an excellent article from Rolling Stone.

    Avenatti, Wohl and the Krassensteins Prove Political Media Is a Hucksters’ Paradise

    An excerpt.

    Trump understood the modern press is not only weighted toward the outrageous, but discouraging of moderation in any form. In the WWE-ized landscape, people like Jeb Bush and John Kasich appeared as tomato cans for Trump to knock over, using shareable insults, extravagant policy promises and ratings-stimulating antics.

    Trump, it seemed clear, got into the presidential race as a publicity stunt, maybe as a way to sell books or steaks or whatever. He knew if you peddle vicious conspiracy tales about things like Obama’s birth certificate, you can get billions in free PR from stations like Fox. What he couldn’t have known is America is so screwed up, its collection of ostensibly real politicians so universally loathed, that his burn-it-all-down Bulworth act would end up being more trusted than “legitimate” alternatives.

    In it for the money, he ended up with a dubious consolation prize called the presidency – which comes with all sorts of unpleasant legal complications, as well as buttloads of real responsibility (not that he would ever be tempted to embrace it).

    The press supposedly learned its lesson after Trump won, adopting a “Democracy Dies in Darkness” mantle of intellectual gravity. Then they turned around and immediately began falling for the same con.

        We’re not talking about petty smugglers but, organized NGO’s (whose demographics are FORBIDDEN TO BE NAMED here) who are feeding them, providing transportation, and guidance on where the best transit paths are.

            You can be sure that there are hidden laws that compel us to let these hordes in! [reverb on] THEY won’t let any politician spell it out…, lest We Teh Serfs put cause and effect together in a chain that goes back to them.

            President Trump may or may not know the underlying laws that hinder him. If he does, I’d like to hear him cite chapter and verse from the toxic and bad laws on the books WHY we can’t build the wall and do the things that we elected him to do. The Law is only as legitimate as the process that created and put it on the books. I’d say that only 20% of the laws on the Fed’s books are legitimate.

            In his past speeches, Trump has already mentioned the DIVERSITY VISA program that’s embedded in George F**king Bush Sr’s 1990 Immigration Act! I guarantee that’s not the only law or shady arrangement that compels us to take in the world’s waste. I’ve already spelled out why that situation exists, one or two CFN comment sections ago.

    “The global shaving brand casually dropped the video on Thursday (23 May) featuring Samson Brown and his dad.

    “‘Whenever, wherever, however it happens – your first shave is special,’ they wrote in the caption.

    “How does this author know what the rich & the safe universally think? This is a caricature. My experience is that those most likely to think in this moralizing way are those closest to being one of those unfortunates themselves.” Tate

    The author was speaking more in general terms rather than “universally”.

    It seems that you are saying the unfortunates themselves think that they are lazy, lacking character, etc. I doubt it. But they do know there’s no room for a wrong decision.

    It’s true that some of the poor will often want to blame others for their plight, but enter NAFTA, outsourcing, low minimum wage, corporate greed and automation, and they just may have a point.

    The rich look upon the poor all too often as an annoyance, as a class of their own making, and often with contempt.

    The rich will pay them lip service and use the ‘eyewash’ as Scratch says. That’s about it.

      You left out that part of the quote that describes who we’re talking about. Those ‘filthy people on the streets,’ no? They pose little inconvenience to the rich. They pose a definite inconvenience to the people on the bubble who I described, who furthermore fear becoming them.

      The rich could care less. The poor evoke no emotion in them because they don’t come into any significant contact with them. All of their preening is indeed ‘eyewash’ however. If the Chamber of Commerce types cared about the homeless poor on the streets of American cities, they wouldn’t be doing everything they could to subvert a strong immigration policy.

      I don’t have a problem with diversity per se, but diversity means all things to all people so I find it a bit imprecise as a term. And that doesn’t make me remotely ‘all about diversity’, in the way that you’re ‘all about white supremacy’. I don’t spend any part of my day thinking about diversity.

      I have a problem with unlimited immigration like most sensible people. And I like well controlled borders. I’m not sure what you’d have a problem with there.

      “What hidden things do you represent that don’t fit into the sufficiently rendered image we already have of you?”

      I wouldn’t say that was any particular business of yours. I engage with other people’s comments and that’s all you need to concern yourself with.

      And I think you should be wary of using ‘we’ in that context. If I thought everyone on here thought was like you, including your concept of ‘human waste’, which is a bit bizarre for someone proclaiming Christianity, I wouldn’t be here.

      As for ‘my country’, there aren’t many like you in Scotland, thank heavens.

          “Diversity” is a political term and political jargon seldom matches or even parallels the correct definition or understanding of the term.

          “Diversity” is more than just a noun. It has become a toxic VERB in political use! Diversity reflects the IMPOSITION of unwanted peoples upon established White populations! However, it more often reflects a defeated condition by Whites who were prevented from retaining their social space.

          “Inclusion” is also a pseudo-verb in political parlance and it tends to be more active than Diversity. Although not defined as such, “Inclusion” is the disease vector that results in Diversity.

          Americanized English is so polluted that it’s hard to distinguish any word. Not even scientific jargon is immune. Numbers don’t reflect reality but are used to CREATE reality.

          True Christianity NEVER accepted the idea of being invaded by the heathen. Doing good among the heathen IN THEIR OWN LANDS… that’s O.K. In any case, we haven’t seen real Christianity in the West in well over a hundred years. What we have now is a toxic modernist chimera that goes by the name of Jewdeo-Xtianity. A foul imposture that freely gives away what belongs to others and then claims charity points.

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 8:00 pm #

            “True Christianity NEVER accepted the idea of being invaded by the heathen. ”

            Well, I read recently that there’s been a significant growth in Pentecostalist black churches in London. So I take it you’re happy for London to have its Christian population bolstered, since the native population aren’t very happy clappy themselves.

            True Christianity thought it was only going to be around for a very short time. I don’t recall anything in the New Testament about ‘Christianity’ being invaded, but it’s been a while…

            And I don’t recall Jesus ever referring to ‘human waste’, but if you have a reference, please do let me know.

            By the way, the Bible I read in church was the King James Bible, which I think predates the last hundred years. It never felt like a toxic modernist chimera to me, but maybe I missed something.

            And Jesus’ clear instruction to you was not to ‘lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth’, so you shouldn’t really be that concerned about sharing a bit, should you?

            I mean, we wouldn’t want you to be struggling like that camel trying to get through the eye of a needle, would we?

          • GreenAlba May 26, 2019 at 8:09 pm #

            Not suggesting anyone should be taking anything from you – you should be eager to divest yourself of what’s going to keep you from your place in heaven.

            GA, Black churches are a joke and most are full of Ahabs and Jezebels. Pentecostal churches are fine for Blacks in the U.S. but, they are alien to everything that is British. I would rather see the Church of England receive the Divine Boot dashed hard against its posterior and the spiritual scourge laid upon it to drive out the modernism that has polluted it.

            Yes, I have actually BEEN in a Black Church! TWICE! A hilarious spectacle, especially how the Jezebels all strut in to show off their newest and fanciest clothing; weave stacked on top of weave. The men are scarce now since there’s nothing for them. IT’S A JOKE.

            I prefer the Christianity of Old America and Old Europe that protected Whites before they knew they were Whites. Any religion that turns a blind eye while The Enemy spreads Tares among the Wheat is not a legitimate religion.

            I understand the importance of Christ admonishing us not to lay up treasures for yourselves upon the Earth but, as usual, MUCH was left out when the Bible was being compiled at the Council of Nicea. Much hidden and omitted Truth had to be discovered. Including what creates a good and functional social order. Reckless immigration and miscegenation are sins against God and Nature and those sins are ALWAYS PUNISHED.

            “Pentecostal churches are fine for Blacks in the U.S. but, they are alien to everything that is British.”

            There have always been white Pentecostals in the UK, despite your ignorance.

            “but, as usual, MUCH was left out when the Bible was being compiled at the Council of Nicea. Much hidden and omitted Truth had to be discovered.”

            I guess that means you can just make it up yourself then.

            One of my best friends is Créole (and Catholic) and had a long and happy marriage to her Northern Irish (consultant and Methodist lay preacher) husband. Their grown-up children are delightful.

            No-one is going to punish them for creating a wonderful life for themselves and their children – even in lower case and without shouty capitals. Thankfully they were not in the habit of coming across across bigots like you.

            JimInFlorida: “True Christianity NEVER accepted” …

            No true Scotsman or appeal to purity is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect a universal generalization from counterexamples by changing the definition in an ad hoc fashion to exclude the counterexample.”

            JIF: “Doing good among the heathen IN THEIR OWN LANDS… that’s O.K.”

            GA you were talking about BLACK Pentecostal churches. So was I. Don’t try to weasel in the old White Pentecostals in with the Black version.

            The Bible is flawed because of how it was compiled. I prefer the vastly superior Srimad Bhagavatam. I find the transcendental power and personality behind Christ in ancient Vedic texts more so than in the Bible itself.

            There is a place for religion and there is a place for the secular affairs of men (and women). Janos explains it better than I do. Affairs regarding incompatible immigration and miscegenation are handled in the secular realm but, with an eye towards Nature. A few odd exceptions do not repeal the evils of incompatible immigration and miscegenation. ESPECIALLY when both are being driven by a malevolent 3rd Party with an Agenda.

          • JimInFlorida May 26, 2019 at 10:08 pm #

            As for YOU Elrond, using lawyer tricks and citing fallacies does not negate the truth of the matter. However clumsily I might present it.

            The “No True Scotsman” appeals to a greater Truth even if the statement is broad and sweeping. A greasy lawyer will pick it apart over technicalities and exceptions while ignoring the greater and more important assertion.

            As your nemesis, Jesus Christ said,

            “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law – judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.”

            He had plenty more to say but, that is sufficient.

            – Elrond Hubbard

            I never even ventured towards that hypocrisy. I am fully aware of the evil done by Washington, the big corporations, and the Fifth Columns that run both.

            Doing good means the missionaries who actually brought useful work with them. Showing the primitives how to do water wells, how to smelt ore and do blacksmithing, and the rules of civil society. Much of that labor was wasted but, some good came out of it somewhere.

            Dr. Albert Schweitzer wrote an amazing book of his adventures in sub-Saharan Africa, “On The Edge Of The Primeval Forest.” He did much good work but, he also saw the futility in bringing Western civilization to the Blacks. He also had strong criticism for the White Europeans who meddled in a social order which had evolved and fine-tuned itself to serve the Black tribes quite well.

            At least Dr Schweitzer and his peers did no harm. That is the least that can be expected from doing good work.

            If you meant that black Pentecostal churches are alien to everything that is British, you should have said so.

            You specifically objected to being ‘invaded by the heathen’ and black Pentecostals aren’t heathen. How they configure their services is none of your business.

          The quid pro quo for controlled borders is, of course, not doing anything that makes life harder for people in their own countries.

          That includes war, deliberately exploitative trade, predatory lending, exploitative corporate activity (Iike Disney in Haiti), collusion with western-friendly dictators, and – of course – CO2 emissions.

            Now THAT I’ll agree with you 100%. I’d rather see reparations done for the nations that TPTB have exploited than allow the hordes to invade as they’ve been assisted to do. **BUT** the reparations must be TORN out of [reverb on] TPTB and their minions in the corporate boardrooms.[reverb off].

            Reparations must be done for the people in their own lands. That means cutting off the special benefits for those who came for the gibs-me-dat and the White women.

    The extremely stable genius, who criticized Obama for being lazy and playing too much golf, has s,pent $102 million in golf outings in the first two years, three times the cost of the Mueller investigation.

    The extremely stable genius said he was not going to accept a presidential salary, but has spent 255 times that salary on golf outings. He said he was just like the little guy and would spend all his time fighting for the little guy.

    It it good that the extremely stable genius has spent $102 million of taxpayer money on golf. The more he plays golf, the less he governs, and the less damage he can do. Playing golf in Florida, New Jersey, and Scotland he has no time to build a big beautiful wall… that Mexico will pay for.

    Insinuating that White Nationalists are status quo is blatantly false. Anyone with even a few neurons firing can see that the entire political and media establishment is dedicated to the dismantling of Whiteness. The public schools and universities are dedicated to instruction in the foundations and fundamentals of White genocide. And given that most nations with majority White populations have had their borders opened despite the will of the people I have a very difficult time with the implication that somehow White Nationalists are in charge or part of the status quo. Rather White Nationalism is a natural reaction to the Globalist Communist status quo. The same status quo that would wish for and condemn people to ignorance and darkness.

      Well said SSL.

      Just remember that there are Faux (((Whites))) who claim to speak for us via their Media-Propaganda Matrix. We see a face on TV that appears superficially “White” but, they are of a Tribe whose lineage goes back to Cain. The murderer of Seth. The same Tribe which also used the Roman State to crucify Jesus Christ.

      Their history is an unbroken chain of murder, deception, and fraud upon their hosts. The Trans-Atlantic African Slave Trade was one of two slave enterprises run by THEM in the days of the Ottoman Empire. The White Slave trade (Slavic people) was the other.

      THEY are the chief architects of the numerous Fifth Columns in the West and are disenfranchising Whites to move The Agenda along. The colleges, themselves, are full-fledged Fifth Columns which sell overpriced credentials of questionable value. All to cover up their true purpose and that being an important arm of the JWO to effect social engineering and destroy the West.

    […] … In an interesting turn of the screw last week, polling showed that a majority of those asked were in favor of investigations into the origin of the RussiaGate story. The FBI, being an agency under the direct supervision of the Attorney General, will be hosed out for sure. The CIA, on the other hand, has a sordid history of acting as a sovereign state within the state — hence the derivation of the Deep State. They are renowned for protecting their own. Remember, the Senate Minority Leader, Mr. Schumer, snidely told the incoming President Trump at the get-go that the Intel community “has six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” I guess we’ll finally get to see about that because the CIA’s former director, the wicked Mr. Brennan, is grand jury bound. I suspect he will not be protected by his former colleagues. His downfall may presage a more thorough cleanup, and perhaps a major reorganization, of this monstrous agency. __ Howard Kunstler […]
