The Last Days of “Joe Biden”

Whose idea was it to send the wind-up doll president called “Joe Biden” to Saudi Arabia…?

It’s like our country is trapped on one of those swirling carnival rides beloved of the county fairs… only, the felonious mutt who runs the ride has nodded off in a fentanyl delirium with the motor running at maximum speed… and the children-of-all-ages locked in the pods of this infernal machine shriek and vomit with each sickening rotation… as the half-century-old swing arms groan and wobble from metal fatigue on their squealing pivots… and suddenly comes a deafening crunch of gnashed gears, the smell of burning oil, and the pathetic whimpering of the nearly dead.

That’s us. Some terrible midsummer accident-of-state has befallen the USA Carnival, and most are too dazed to know it. Whose idea was it to send the wind-up doll president called “Joe Biden” to Saudi Arabia? I can just imagine what went on in the chamber in private with “JB” and MBS (Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman), virtual autocrat of the oil-soaked desert land. The American visitor muttered something about wanting an ice-cream cone before dropping into a catatonic thousand-yard stare.

How does this thing work?” MBS asks his chief vizier, the foreign minister (in Arabic, of course), gesticulating disdainfully at the ghostly figure sunk in the plush camel-hair armchair yards away. “Joe Biden” sits motionless. Someone has forgotten to rewind him, some “aide” who carries the president’s Adderall. Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud tells the boss, “We’ll make up some camel-dung for release to CNN and friends. They’ll fall for anything.”

It’s like a crime scene where the forensic experts have entered. The Saudi leader and his entourage only hang around the room for three minutes until the US State Department shoots enough photos to prove that “JB” was there and not stuffed in the basement of his Delaware beach house for the weekend, as usual. The American news media gets briefed: Saudi Arabia graciously agrees to bump up its oil production somewhere in the 2025-2027 time-frame — a triumph for US diplomacy, the networks are informed. Air Force One wings home through clouds of despair. The White House team members spend the flight updating their resumés.

I think we have witnessed “Joe Biden’s” final appearance at any world-stage event. He can do no more for the Party of Chaos. It has done what it can to wreck the joint with him as the pretend head-of-state. The Ukraine gambit is a bust, a foolish miscalculation that was obvious from the start. All it accomplished was to reveal the pitiful dependence of our European allies on Russian oil and gas, leaving their economies good and truly scuppered without it. The Russians end up with control of the Black Sea and probably the Ukraine bread-basket as well. So, now, Europe will starve and freeze.

Did they really want to commit suicide like that? Do the populations of Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the rest just aim to roll into oblivion? Probably not. Rather, we are entering the season of upended governments. The Schwabenklausian stooges implanted everywhere will be overthrown, NATO and the Euro Union will dissolve in impotent ignominy, and the various countries involved will have to renegotiate their destinies, forgoing US advice and coercion. They might even become adversaries of the USA, not allies. Did you forget we fought two wars against Germany not so long ago? And all those countries have been fighting each other since the Bronze Age, too.

History never stops reminding us what a prankster it is. A strange and terrible inversion has occurred in this Fourth Turning. Somehow, Mr. Putin’s Russia is left to represent what remains of international rule-of-law while the western democracies sink deeper into a morass of deranged despotism. Anyway, they are too busy conducting war against their own people to even pretend to assist their Ukrainian proxies. “Joe Biden” crammed nearly $60-billion into the Ukraine money laundering machine since February, which will just spew hallucinated capital back out into increasingly disordered financial markets. Look: the indexes are up world-wide this morning. Why? Because global business is so good? I don’t think so.

Moving toward autumn, what we have to look forward to is the blatant desperation of the claque behind “Joe Biden.” Their propaganda machine is going all-out on climate change and renewed Covid hysteria. There are always heat-waves in midsummer. CNN acts shocked that it’s over 100-degrees in Texas. Really? Never seen that before? Meanwhile, behind the news about emerging Omicron sub-variants, the vaccine injuries and deaths mount and the CDC pretends not to notice. They are just lying as usual. You’re used to it. You pretend it’s to be expected. You’ve forgotten that it wasn’t always so. Soon, it will matter.

    some things I want to share that I found,

    Canada will not be an easy place to live in the future. We have cold winters and now hotter then ever summers which have been causing terrible forest fires. We have even had towns burn down to the ground. We have short growing seasons and food is scarce and has to be shipped in to most of the country. Housing is outrageously expensive and there is no right to live on government Crown land.

    A N D
    People don’t just land on this shore and magically become Ben Franklin
    Mexico and Central American countries are, in fact, emptying their jails and mental institutions on our shores. This, as much as votes, is why the invasion is being financed by Soros, Steyer, Bloomberg, and the rest of the billionaires; and, promoted by the DNC.

    This explains why these criminals and psychopaths are flown or bused in the dark of night to rural or suburban America where these Hispanics are now committing all these murders and rapes.

    By any other name it’s still warfare against white / black / got here legally America, which also explains why the Republicans’ response on behalf of other, faux conservative billionaires always amounts to assent by handwringing and crocodile tears.

          More immigrant Catholics who don’t get that many abortions or use birth control regularly and may possibly vote Republican around 40% of the time. Many so-called Conservatives secretly love this along with the chamber of commerce and real estate/construction industry. More cheap labor and municipal and state taxes.

            Vote schmote.

            Has anyone seen all the evidence of how the bulk of US voting machines are so easily hackable? Most foolishly plug in to the Internet to send vote totals (ha!) up the chain where the results are easily hacked. All the machines are privately owned with zero accountability to Congress. All their source codes are proprietary.

            The real revolution in the United States will be a return to all paper ballots filled in by the voter and signed. They will ALL have to be counted in each precinct with scores of locals standing around the tables observing the counts.

            By the time we will be lucky enough to see this change I suppose those totals will have to be pony expressed up to the next level.

            Until then I will never trust another election in the U.S.

        Had almost forgotten about that book written by a French author, who predicted the invasion of Europe by hordes arriving by boat on their Mediterranean shore, although they originally came from India. He was criticized by the political classes for being a racist and xenophobic, and basically harassed without mercy. Around the same time, Ayn Rand wrote “Atlas Shrugged”, which likewise tried to warn the West, especially America, of the coming assault from the left of our culture and ideals, and again, the political classes attacked her with fury. Now, both have been proven correct, and the West seems to be in a death spiral that only the left applauds.

      Here in upstate NY we also should prepare for reduced services from local governments, particularly in rural areas where our few votes are of little consequence to state politicians.

      As tax $$ dry up, local roads will become subject to a new set of priorities, determining which roads get serviced as well as how often.

      Here in the Helderburgs farmers built the first roads before local governments were formed. We may need to assume at least some winter maintenance once again. Rural Canada will share that new burden as well.

      • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 11:02 am #

        If I lived up there, I’d think I’d stay up there after a storm until everything melted again.

        Helderburgs- the site of the Anti-rent Wars.

      • Blackbird July 18, 2022 at 9:15 pm #

        Here in the Great Lake State, we’re tearing up our paved roads (can’t afford to maintain them) and replacing them with gravel (“gravel” the size of your fists in some cases).

        Last summer, I came across a Jeep Cherokee full of teens on their way to the local inland lake, sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire. Well, I always carry a can – or two – of Fix-a-Flat, so I pulled over to help. Watched the Fix-a-Flat spewin’ out of a fist-sized hole in the tread. “Been down Stevenson Road, haven’t ya?”, I asked. Sure enough. “You need a new tire.”

        Same thing happened to me the previous year – without the Good Samaritan intervention – led directly to the death of my 3rd iPhone, as well as my boycotting of the local Ford dealer.

        Me: “Got a jack?”

        Ford Dealer: “We’ll sell ya 4 brand new tires for $900.”

        Me: “You fucksticks will never sell me anything again.” (Of course I was too polite to say that – but I thought it real loud.)

      • Uncle Bob July 18, 2022 at 9:26 pm #

        Towns in the Southern Tier are too busy building rotaries to actually fix the pothole-infested roads. Why help the public and business, when you can create impediments to travel? Sort of like state and national government writ small, I suppose.

      In the Deep State,

      Dem = GOP where acquisition of power is concerned.

      For example, which party promotes the big corporations?

      Both! What philosophy does the big MSM, social media and Big Tech follow? Hint: it is not conservative.

      • EdD July 18, 2022 at 12:04 pm #

        True, it’s not conservative, but neither is the GOP. MSM devotion to the DNC is just an attempt to keep up the subterfuge that there is an opposition party.

    • SpeedyBB July 18, 2022 at 2:46 pm #

      Well malthuss, I’m a “Landed Immigrant” (unless they’ve stripped me of it in the meantime) but I guess my dreams of retiring pleasantly in the Kootenays have been permanently canceled as I shall never take the mRNA needle, and that’s that.

      I’ve been called a “plague rat” (although I have in fact submitted to the Sinovac shots) and I retaliate by reminding my accusers that they are “lab rats”.

      Mobility appears to be quickly tightening up, on many fronts. The disappearance of the airlines, or cheap jet travel anyway, will be the canary in the coal mines.

      And it appears that while it’s still up in the air if the US will become a totalitarian Marxist country. Although it’s possible. Canada has gone that route. I suppose that they will still hold elections up there, but they will be even more for show than ours.

      The US is Russia in 1917, Canada is USSR in 1927.

          Well make up your minds, guys – is it Marxist or Nazi? Can’t be both. You guys are a hoot! All political talk yet comprehension of political concepts is non-existent.

          I come to read Jjm’s latest deranged rants occasionally (“Somehow, Mr. Putin’s Russia is left to represent what remains of international rule-of-law while the western democracies sink deeper into a morass of deranged despotism.” Had a good chuckle over that one, Jim!). But it’s the comments that really make me laugh.

      Most of the Mexicans and Central Americans who live in southwestern Ontario, between Windsor and Toronto, come over as migrant farm workers to work on the fields and in the greenhouses to do jobs that Canadians can’t or won’t do in conditions that no Canadian would tolerate. When COVID hit and the farmers out here in Essex, Lambton, and Middlesex counties couldn’t find locals to fill the positions occupied by the migrants, the Canadian government had to make an exemption to its’ closed border policy and let them in anyway even if it meant though the migrants had the highest risk of contracting coronavirus. It was either that or let the crops rot in the damn fields . You think most Canadians or Americans would toil in the fields all day from sunrise to sunset under a blazing sun for minimum wage? Who do you think risks life and limb to put food on the table of Canadians? Back in the 90’s the government of Ontario created a program to let people who were on welfare do the jobs of imported migrant labour. You know how well that turned out? The welfare recipients were all fired for insubordination or quit because the jobs were too difficult and the farmers ended up brining in migrant labour to finish the harvest. I’ve never seen a Mexican or Central American panhandling on the streets of Windsor, London or Hamilton, but I’ve seen plenty of my fellow Canadians doing it, so get your facts in order before you post on this blog.

        Yeah, they do.

        Nancy Pelosi’s nephew.

        First they have to maneuver Harris out of the way.

        Newsom and Harris are sworn enemies within the California political universe.

        Where did I read/hear it?

        Can’t recall. Maybe in the Alexander Mercouris conversation with Robert Barnes.

        • SW July 18, 2022 at 12:26 pm #

          Newsome will be the candidate — I’ll bet on it. Harris will announce “she’s going to spend more time with her family” and fade away. There’s already some ads in Florida of all places about Hair Gel Newsome.

          • TPTB-USA July 18, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

            If Newsome gets in, Boudin and Gascon will be right there with him.

          • cowbell81 July 18, 2022 at 2:18 pm #

            If Newsome is elected, we will have the biggest gay parade down Pennsylvania Ave. that we have ever seem. The White House will be painted in a rainbow of colors, and every perversion known to mankind will become tolerated, accepted, and supported at the highest levels of our government.

            How far can this all go? I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet.

    Great laugh out loud passages today regarding “the Joe Biden” and his gang of merry pranksters (could there be LSD involved here as well?). The House of Saud must be wondering how they ever became associated with such a clown empire. Even the Soviet collapse in the late 80’s – early nineties proceeded with a modicum of decorum. The US now needs a laugh track for any news coming out of DC. Putin-Shoigu 2024!

    • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 10:11 am #

        And announcing he asked the Saudi prince about the murder of Kashogi. I doubt that very much and the pictures I’ve seen, Biden looks tired and confused and the Saudis look ready for him to get back on the plane and leave.

        • Q. Shtik July 18, 2022 at 12:34 pm #

          • cowbell81 July 18, 2022 at 2:15 pm #

            Biden is accustomed to erroneously shaking hands with ghosts. Planting a fist bump allowed him the assurance that someone would actually be there to receive it.

        • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 12:34 pm #

          I find it bizarre that the media thought that the most important issue to press Biden about was the “death” of Khassoggi.
          Corpus delicti applies here, imo, but even if he really died (chopped up alive with a bonesaw while the surgeon wore headphones and listened to music, parts carried home in suitcases, No, killed immediately and dumped in the well, No, killed and then buried in the garden, No, killed and then dissolved in a vat of acid…….Whatever….just “report it” and the plebes will believe one of the stories and defend it indignantly when questioned) there is absolutely no proof that MSB had anything to do with the alleged death. No matter, “report it” and then pretend, even 4 years later, that it is the Top Story of All Time.
          A better question would have been to ask them how the Saudis can increase production when they’ve been pumping sea water into the wells for years and are now buying oil from Russia.

          • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 12:42 pm #

            PaulaD – lying about the reserves: there’s the titanic scandal. It’s not just the Sandi Arabs. Didn’t a brace of multinational oilie execs go to jail a couple of years ago for falsely reporting on reserves?

            At that time there were murmurs about what’s really left in those Saudi wells. Talk about the Empty Quarter.

          • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 4:24 pm #

            Damn straight BB.
            Remember when they were going to take Aramco public?
            I don’t think that worked out so well for them because the general public might be convinced that the Earth has a creamy nugget oil center but oil company investors aren’t that stupid.
            Saudi Arabia, like Texas and California before it, has played out of the easy stuff.

            I agree, the dem supporters are completely delusional and almost always constantly stoned. The idea that ingesting dope has a benefit, it is only to pacify the sheep into getting sheared. The legalization of pot was an ingenious step by the criminal political class. Keep the sheep stoned and stupefied they will follow any current thing.

          • Blackbird July 20, 2022 at 6:52 pm #

            Mike G, I don’t completely agree with your statement on cannabis use. For me, it was an eye-opener – like the sunglasses in They Live. I started seeing connections – particularly in media and politics – that I’d never seen before, and started questioning everything. And I’m not the only one. I’ve known several professionals in business and science who keep their minds supple with cannabis use.

            On the other hand, I’ve known too many stoners who have never opened their minds – not even a crack to let in a little light and fresh air. But that’s their fault, not the weed.

            You want stupid? Fill anybody – anybody – full of alcohol and watch them devolve toward a puddle of protoplasm.

    Yes soon indeed Jim. There may be hope out there somewhere along with its best buddy, Truth but I am not going to hold my breath waiting for either of them to show up anytime soon. Its a good thing that I was indoctrinated in the ability to keep on keeping on and even fighting when those two allies do not show up, even ever.

    Without any leadership of power to fight back against those steering the shit, sorry, I mean ship of state around the iceberg and a boatload of passengers that are busy being tattooed and body pierced which what little cash they have left after losing their homes and Teslas, they are noy going to even notice or care 2h3n they are slammed into the bulkhead upon impact.

    Keep up the great work James and be good. I feel certain that you abide in a place that with get along just fine when the world is made by hand.

    Watching the commentary on JB’s visit to the Kingdom, one of the networks brought out old Bernie Sanders to get his take. I then had an amusing “what if” moment; what if the Dems had nominated Bernie for president and managed to get him elected. Surely that old Jew would know how to handle those pesky Arabs. It would have been entertaining, to the least.

    Racial stereotypes aside, that almost any of the potential candidates could have done a better job than Old Joe speaks volumes about the incompetence of America’s so called elite.

    • JohnAZ July 18, 2022 at 12:07 pm #

      Exactly, Raymond.

      In our system, a bunch of guys/gals start competing with each other for power positions.

      They go after money from big money people then use it to buy votes.

      The winners rise to the top with aplomb and perseverance.

      Think Trump in 2026. He first beat the GOP dynasties then the Dem. Dynasty to get elected.

      The two party dynasties comprise a big chunk of the elected Deep State. Trump beat both sides and the Deep State declared war on him. The rest is history.

      I guess my point is that the winners beat out a bunch of folks because the PEOPLE elect them. The people, with the quality of people rising to the top, vote for the “lesser evil”. We need a brilliant superstar badly right now. I do not see any in the hierarchies of both sides. Trump was the businessman that folks wanted but his political acumen did not keep up with his enemies. Hard to do much with 90% of the Deep State against you. We need both. Examples, Washington, Lincoln, Both Roosevelts, there are not many.

      Our politicos are the result, the reflection of us!

      Scary isn’t it.

      Until the Uniparty succeeds.

        That’s the crux of it all. They are not incompetent. What they are doing is specific, thought out and deliberate. Like they say about intended oddities in software, it’s not a bug it’s a feature. The Squatter in Chief is their incompetent bumbling face. But his handlers (owners) are not incompetent or bumbling.

        I think we may have heard how soon.

        2027. The ultimate supplier of oil just told us that they will raise production until 2027. Then they are at Peak Oil. That means that supply will flatten with the subsequent rise in cost.

        Happy Motoring and the rest of the US structure will accelerate its decline then.

        Soon!

        • Walter B July 18, 2022 at 10:58 pm #

          Sorry but the FBI (Fucking Brainless Idiots) are far better at killing each other than they are at addressing the criminal problems, as they proved here in New Jersey in January 2915 in Readington.

          Jim Comey is the poster child for federal corruption, and even in the days of Al Capone and Elliot Ness, their leadership was more concerned with what heels they were going to wear with their Mumu’s than about how to address the issue of organized crime (which J Edgar insisted did not exist). The agency should be disbanded immediately or reassigned to matters of gender identity.

    • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 10:34 am #

      A young woman MP, left winger and supporter of the eU, was shot by a late middle aged right wing extremist just before the ‘Brexit’ vote a few years back. It was a potential disaster for those who wanted Britain to leave Europe and I was afraid it would swing the vote in favour of the Stay camp. I have not looked into it, and proably never will, but i have heard claims that it was a set-up. I can quite believe it, especially in teh oight of what is happening in America.

    JHK: I hope you are correct about the overthrow of the WEF nazis; they truly are the our worst enemy. Some of their plans from ‘AI simulations’ were apparently recently leaked out (and reported several days ago on
    theBurningplatform.com). and they supposedly plan to take the property of all with net worth under $10million, and designate them as commons; over 10mil are the ‘sovereigns.’ (Sovereigns keep their money and can trade markets and own things privately.) Commons will receive $1000 per month and rent homes and cars. There will be ‘fines’ for bad behavior and credits for ‘good’ behavior (max of $1500 in commons’ back accounts). Back to the fucking middle ages!!! Again, i hope you are correct in your prediction about their and their minions demise.

          Andrew Yang is still out there somewhere.

          Modern monetary policy says just run the presses to print money as needed. Biden’s crowd believes this. The government is the “bank” that taxes the rich ( there won’t be any) and distributes the “capital” to the rest of society.

          And yet when the USSR was destroyed (even though the people had voted overwhelmingly to preserve it) Russians kept working, even though the system the US put in was corrupt and the state didn’t pay them.
          People that went to Russia during the 90s were amazed that there was still a subway system and running water and other things that require labor.
          The workers had a sense of social responsibility unimaginable to an American. I’m guessing that is why they managed to recover from that horrible decade, when so many millions of them died.
          Russia is back, baby, and Americans can’t understand that either.
          “But they’re just a big gas station with an army”.
          Yep, and that gas station with an army is kicking the butt out of NATO in Ukraine, and Europe is now finding out how important gas is, and oh, it turns out that Russia is self sufficient in food and commodities, and is unwilling to turn their country over to US vultures again.

          We were told Communism was a wonderful idea in theory but unworkable. I never believed it and I was right. Later, doing A level history, the idea was that Lenin was good but Stalin was bad. I did believe that one and I was wrong. I used to join in the laughter over Hitler’s rage against ‘Bolsheivk Jews’. I did not have a clue. there is an interesting man on YouTube called Didymus Symydid (a palindrom). He has not osted anything in several months but i have listened to a couple of his videos twice or more, incouding somem excellent ones about Carroll Quigley. Anyway, Didymus said that in a right world he would be a middle-ranking bureaucrat whose job would be to persecute Communists. I hope he gets his wish.

        Good luck getting that 1K per month.

        The part you leave out is the most obvious: When the digital panopticon is up and running, people like us won’t be receiving it, unless we have a change of heart and begin injecting ourselves with poison or allowing access to every last zone of our medical, banking, social media, and other records.

        The one thing that stops all of this is the rejection of the digital pass and digital currency.

        Sadly, even on CFN, it seems to have taken forever to get through. Most people I talk to in real life aren’t even aware of the most basic elements of what is going on right now.

          I know nobody in real life who gets it, or even has the faintest ide although a first cousin of mine married in Donegal does, apparently. We have had two days hot weather and the telly is full of global warming. I told my wife they were f—ing bastards and never to belive a word but she thinks I am being led astray by the internet.

          You cannot discuss history with anyone because nobody knows two facts to rub toether. It is impossible to discuss anyting important because it goes right over their heads. If they nod their heads it means they are waiting for you to shut up.

            Try discussing history with a recent college grad millennial and friends. They have no idea what they don’t know, but think they are experts on history. To them, history = white men abused brown, yellow, and black men; white men owned slaves and abused black women, white men – bad. Non white people built great civilizations that white men attacked and destroyed (no idea where this one came from). This is the next gen in power. No kidding.

      That plan is playing out to a certain extent in the Netherlands as we are seeing at the moment. It looks like ‘Enforcing Climate Mandates’ will be the main tool the WEF will employ to disposses ‘The Commons.’

      • SW July 18, 2022 at 10:45 am #

        @BRH — you are absolutely right. The stage has been being set for years now and the land grab of the farmers in Holland is an opening salvo. Northern Europeans (think : Greta) are true believers in the horrors of climate change and impending doom if we don’t take drastic measures immediately.

        After watching the manipulation of international populations and the willingness of our so-called leaders to punish those who didn’t fall in line (or had the temerity to even asked a question) I think the future will be something like they’re setting up in China with a social- credit system. Our best hope is the basic incompetence, corruption and laziness of those in charge.

            They have to deal with reality everyday and not base their lives on “theories.” And too, have learned about helping each other out and making a community. Even farmers who aren’t threatened are turning out in solidarity with those who are.

          Will they use food shortages to trigger it or will the go for a famine? They won’t need a famine in Ireland because they won’t even need food shortages. People will just take it. But they might do the famine just for ht eun o f it. Thirty years ago Desmond Fennell had a ‘brief visio’ \I mean it only came to a small paragraph in his newspaper column\) of Ireland as an empty island, a playground for the rich Euro elite.

          I think he saw emigration as the route to that but starvation would make it permanent, like drenching the earth with weed killer. My own vision over the past year is as a dowry for a Jewish princess.

        • Walter B July 18, 2022 at 11:07 am #

          And in the end, we do not really NEED to have firearms because it is sometimes best to not shoot them but to let ’em burn. As long as we have fire they can be made to pay for their audacity. People need to remember that for centuries when the regular population was ruled over by royalty and their privileged lackeys, regular people were mere entertainment for the ruling elite. Head out for a fun day of hunting the king’s deer, and then passing by a peasant’s hovel, stop by for a little raping and torture/murder just for sport, then laugh your way back to the keep for a drunken orgy. That may not have been the favored day of entertainment for all of the elite, but it certainly was for enough of them to compel the populations to enact protections such as the Magna Carta and the US Constitution. And don’t discount the French Revolution.

          The scumbags of today believe that their technologies will allow them to rule over us all with impunity, but that will only last a short time if it ever is instituted at all. Keep in mind that if we are ever subjugated to the levels that Herr Klausenstein proposes it will be worse than death to remain alive. Maintaining such a mentality frees a person from the fear and inaction of the weak and the feeble. Always fight, never let them see you run!

          • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 11:22 am #

            I remember reading that the aristocrats back in the day were right to fear a peasant uprising, because peasants were incredibly strong and hardened, compared to the idle and inbred upper classes.

            They had to have robust immune systems to survive to adulthood.

            Gee, it’s too bad there isn’t a way to damage the immune systems of the masses, maybe even keep them from reproducing in unmanageably numbers?

            Agree with everything Walter, except for your position that we “really do not need to have firearms”. Even if best to burn them out, as you post, firearms, and training, are more necessary today than in our historical past. The elites and pols do not respect the working classes, or anyone not like them, or the right to self-defense. Firearms, or guns, is the only answer, but you have to be willing to die rather than submit to their intentions to enslave, which to a free thinker and actor, would be worse than death as you state.

      Neurodoc, My feeling is that a significant number of people are awake and Davos is a almost a household term in the conservative media. Mr. Schwab is like a well known comic book supervillain. The news is nothing but one shocking outrage after another. You can read about the price of eggs doubling and a gazillion chickens culled because of a postive pcr test for bird flu but all the while you can still make yourself an omelet anytime with no problem whatsoever. However, it’s when a critical mass of people really start losing their property and their food security that real civil unrest and actual political upheaval begin in earnest.

        Don’t count on people getting unrest-ish over losing property. Look back just a few years and remember that we bailed out banks and millions lost their homes to foreclosure but we could just as easily got the same results by bailing out the home owners without all the foreclosures.

Anyway, the fact that people are openly mocking this new lab creation is a good sign. You’d think the perfectly made for TV pox pictures would have terrified everyone into getting the new vaccine by now, but apparently that hasn’t happened. They were forced to retreat and have their think tanks come up with a new marketing strategy.

    Something I noticed is ramping up- the number of ways non-Trump supporting Republicans (but not NeverTrumpers), have come up with to say “Trump was right” without saying Trump was right.

    Imagine if instead of seizing on the small details in his plans that they thought were wrong, they had backed him and helped him polish his policies.

    But no, they sat on the sidelines and jeered, because they didn’t like his style.

    I’m not going to name names, but they know who they are.

    • Islander July 18, 2022 at 10:28 am #

      Trump’s signature feature that made him unfit to lead was his inability to assemble a good team.

      He thought he could run the USA like his company.

      That was an inexcusable category error.

      • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 10:47 am #

        He also thought he could bring some of the people around to seeing that his way was better for the country.

        He didn’t understand that the Boltons and Bushes and Cheneys of the world did not care what was good for the country.

      • Socrates-Detroit July 18, 2022 at 11:19 am #

        I liked candidate Trump.

        I supported him, and was thrilled when I realized he could win!

        I didn’t hold my breath though.

        Trump recognized (publicly!) many of America’s problems and had many good ideas. He was not “beholden” to lobbyists–he was THE lobbyist, and many politicians, were beholden to him. I think the execrable Clintons even attended his wedding to Melania. But I digress.

        Trump is smart and “honest” (he tells it like it is often, and he conveys the integrity of a used car salesman too–so you know to beware), but he also has a big ego, and many Americans see him as obnoxious.

        He was not one of the “cool kids” (the deep state/establshment/elite/whatever name you choose).

        He seemed surprised the night he won in 2016.

        So the people who run things have doubled down in their quest for world domination: the hyped up this “pandemic”, now we have the war in Ukraine, and who know what is next (I bet some of you have a good idea actually) to keep us off balance.

        Our host seems to think the government in the future will wield less power because it will fall apart.

        I think that the government has, and will retain, a lot of power to make the lives of ordinary people miserable and to subjugate us. I think that if the govt does disintegrate, then we will go back to a form of feudalism, where the people and entities that pull Puppet Biden (and Obama/Bush/Clinton/etc before, maybe even Trump) strings will, again subjugate and enslave the masses.

        The only thing that will stop the downward spiral will God’s intervention.

            Yes, he shilled for the vaxx and still does.

            Why? Because the Deep State took the vaxx as an ultimate power weapon, convinced the public that it, the Vaxx was the only solution to the virus that was killing people. Businessmen problem solve, find solutions and execute them.

            He fought Fauci’s BS because it was the only game in town.

            That was the take that Flynn, Byrne and Powell got from Trump that night in December 2020 – the guy was really flustered. Listening to and taking the abuse dished out by Mark Meadows for instance. The red-headed Irishman in Byrne just about got up and punch Meadows out for talking to the President the way he did.

            So many errors. Surrounding himself with a bunch of Old School CFR creatures. I think Trump was actually, believe it or not, a poor judge of people. And I got the impression from his persona on TV (“You’re fired!”) that he was a tough guy who would fight. He didn’t fight at all. All bluster and no substance.

            So many shortcomings. I believe that most of the people reading this and commenting, actually know more about what Trump should have done than he ever did.

            Anyway, the Cabal resident here in America, is deathly afraid of Ron DeSantis who can eat them for breakfast. Which is why he’ll never be president. In fact, the American Cabal, and their fellows in the International Cabal are not stupid (or foolish) contrary to popular belief.

            They knew they’d get one shot at grabbing power and they took it. Just like in Dallas in 1963 and NYC in 2001. When they act they go all in. There will be no more “free and fair” elections in the United States. They won’t allow that.

          “Americans see him as obnoxious”

          No, Americans see him as the MSM portrays him. Many editor meeting were held to shape the 24/7 media takedown of Trump. And his family.

          He was an outsider to the political hierarchy of the country. He got the displaced people from the prior administrations, mostly Bush and Obama, to rise up against the Swamp and vote him in in spite of the scumbags.

          People who voted for Biden, to be against Trump, were intellectual dupes of a Media gone haywire.

          • Beryl of Oyl July 18, 2022 at 1:04 pm #

            A lot of Americans see people from Queens as obnoxious. Not just Trump.

            What Jesse Jackson said about him quite some time ago remains true:

            ““He is deceptive in that his social style is of such, one can miss his seriousness and his commitment to success, which is beyond argument.”

            Yes, intellectual dupes of a media gone haywire is a good way of putting it. They were happy to have their own ignorance and bigotry validated.

          There’s a theory going round the ether that it’s actually better for America and we patriots that Trump lost. Sure, his econ figures looked good, but the big mess we have now was always going to happen. Why not let Biden and the evil Dems face it instead of Trump? In a sane world (I know, I know), the performance of the Dems right now would ensure political oblivion. Maybe it’s “too Q”, but that’s the theory, anyway.

      • FGB3 July 18, 2022 at 3:02 pm #

        It’s helpful, when trying to determine Trump’s inabilities, to compare him with Governor DeSantis. The governor can focus. And hold that focus. This gives him a massive coherence in his thoughts and actions which are FAR beyond The Donald.

        From the time I first began to watch Trump talk in interviews back in 2019 I noticed his lack of focus. And his lack of prioritization. He rambles all over the place and never really communicates his main points (such as they are).

        By the way, Trump would still be President today if he had simply listened to General Flynn, Patrick Byrne and Ms. Powell that night in December 202, when they finessed their way past the GateKeepers in the White House.

        While Giuliani was in one of his triple Scotch hazes, they had managed to FOCUS and see just where to apply the power of the presidency to over-throw that rigged election.

        In fact the way that Trump bungled the means to deal with the stolen election is/was his signature feature all told. Soros and his Gang should never have gotten away with that fraud. Makes me wonder if Trump is actually “on the up and up”.

        • Blackbird July 18, 2022 at 10:11 pm #

          Trump has the lack of focus of a drunk.

          Ironic for someone who supposedly doesn’t drink.

        • Socrates-Detroit July 18, 2022 at 10:38 pm #

          Yes, I like DeSantis–from the relatively little I know about him.

          But DeSantis will be “beholden”, unlike Trump. What is DeSantis view on foreign policy? On trade policy?

          I don’t know, but he is a Republican. Therefore, I’m willing to bet he is probably hawkish (and yes, most Democrats are too).

          Our host says “suburbia is the greatest misallocation of resources”. I say the military-industrial complex is the greatest waste of our lifetimes.

          Eisenhower, who was part of it, tried to warn the US in his last speech as President (note that he leveled when he was leaving and left the turd for JFK, but I digress).

          (I was part of it too–I bought into the line when I was young, though at that time, the USSR was arguably the greater evil than the US government, and as an American, I enjoyed much greater freedom and opportunity than a Soviet citizen in 1980.)

          The massive costs and waste of a huge military require a lot of government spending, more than the politically acceptable (in our “democratic republic” where we still have elections) amount the voters are willing to be taxed.

          Deficit spending is easier with an elastic currency and cheap money. That’s what we’ve got. Our money, the lifeblood of capitalism is a lie.

          Cheap money was the enabler for suburbia. Without easy credit, it would not be so big and (superficially) extravagant. The cities would have been cleaned up in after WW2, and there would be less incentive to leave, or escape.

          So if DeSantis has to show he’s “strong and tough and defense and will stand up against the Kremlin”, please, you can all write him off right now.

          The Donald came out and spoke the TWO big unspoken truths about what ailed America. That’s why I really liked him and supported him.

          1. The “Forever Wars”, trillions to line the pockets of defense contractors (privatized gains) at the expense of the public (socialized losses…), and the fact that while our Imperial Military “defended” Germany and Korea, and the US paid for it, the Germans and Koreans invested in better factories to make goods they could export to the dumb Americans…

          2. “Free trade” was a debacle, where our “allies” had “gotcha” laws to help keep US products out, while our market was wide open, and then we had NAFTA, which Ross Perot correctly predicted, hand over even more US manufacturing to Mexico and Canada.

          Where is DeSantis on those issues? Where is any leading Republican?

          All the leading Republicans are warmongers (whoremongers) obsesses with taking down Russia.

          When a GOP Representative born in the Ukraine comments on the need to audit the aid to the Ukraine, they criticize her behind her back for “causing trouble”.

          So DeSantis has much to prove–to me. Mr. Trump did not have to prove he was the best candidate–by virtue of his logical positions, he was way ahead–but he had to execute. Whether it was because he was stymied (yes), had lousy GOP advisors, who sometimes contradicted him (yes), or had some personal challenges (yes), it’s moot–he didn’t live up to his potential.

          And even so, other than the tax cut for the rich, he was the best President in my lifetime because he did NOT make or create any MAJOR NEW problems in his term or leave any for the next President.

          We are in big trouble in the US, and too large a section of society doesn’t get it, or likes it.

          • Jarek July 19, 2022 at 11:32 am #

            My question as well. If DeSantis is a traditional Republican, he’s a war hawk in hock to the weapon’s lobby – and that simply isn’t viable at this point. It never was. It helped get us to where we are now.

    Speaking of crime scenes, I’ve just become aware of the work being produced on the atrocity that was the Coronavirus Task Force, by another fine reporter (if that’s how he bills himself) Michael P. Senger.

    Deborah Birx’s book has brought that horrible time in history back to the forefront.

    Actually I was aware of Mr. Senger’s work, but I wasn’t as aware of its ongoing nature, probably because the us government had Twitter shut down his account.

    Here’s his article on the incompetent lunatic Birx. I’m excited, because he promises more on the man who gave us Dr. Birx in the first place. It looks more and more like the task force was a setup, and Vice President Pence was an active participant:

    Deborah Birx’s “Silent Invasion”: a Guide to Destroying America From Within

      Dr. Scott Atlas wrote a book to about his brief tenure on the Corona task force — A Plague on Our House — and he pointed to Birxs as the driving force behind the bad policies with dumbass Pence and Fauci agreeing to everything. He said that neither Fauci or Birx ever asked a question about research he presented or presented any of their own.

      Of course, the media attacked him mercilessly and all those wonderful, high-minded academics at Stanford stabbed him in the back b/c he tried to help with policy while Trump was the president.

          Mike Pence always seemed to me to have a Manchurian candidate feel to him. Trump ( I read ) had only met him a couple of times but chose him for VP — why? I think with the Trump candidacy in 2016 there was some deal making in the back room too. Nothing like we’ve seen since then with Democrats, but some arm-twisting to take him as VP.

            Trump took on the election run as a challenge as he saw the advance of the Deep State and possibly the WEF as a mortal wound for the US and wanted to do something about it.

            Problem was when he found enough fellow believers to get elected, he looked around the Deep State for support and found

            Nothing. Deep state 10000 or so. Trump 1. EVERYONE of his selections were either Deep State or if proTrump were destroyed by the Deep State. In four years, he looked around and found no support. Good businessman and PR guy, lousy politician.

            I’m not certain, but it may have been Mitch who foisted Pence on him.

            On the surface, it seemed like a reasonable pick, balancing the ticket.

            I do know that the Evangelicals were divided over Trump, and many saw Pence as either a moderating influence, or, in the case of the pro-Trump Evangelicals, someone who was looking out for Trump’s salvation.

            Bullshit. Trump’s election run was a grift, no more than that. He was surprised that he won the GOP Primary, and even shocked when he won the General (minority vote notwithstanding). Once there, he was lost – clueless and floundering around. His incompetence has been most effectively illustrated in the failure of his January 6 coup.

            modern naval warfare.

            example 2- Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper, retired, led OPFOR (red team) in a 2000 exercise pitted against blue team (USN with carrier group), all done up with high tech wizardry. His low tech approach succeeded in defeating red team and send (theoretically) many billions of $ of naval ships and crew to the bottom.

            Blue cried foul, yelled and screamed until they got a redo. Riper then said the fix is in, noting they can’t think their way out of a problem.

    What are ‘high tunnels?’

    • Farmer McGregor July 18, 2022 at 12:14 pm #

      High tunnels are plastic filmed hoop houses (cheapo green houses) used by market gardeners (vegetable farmers) as ‘season extenders’. High tunnels are tall enough to stand up in. Low tunnels can be as short as 3 feet at the peak (usually referred to as ‘caterpillar tunnels’).

    CFN’rs,
    Why all the doom and gloom. If you look really, really hard, there is good news to be found;

    IRAN CLAIMS NUCLEAR WEAPON CAPABILITY: A senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stated on Sunday that Iran has the technical ability to construct nuclear weapons. The advisor, Kamal Kharrazi, added that Iran has yet to make a final decision on when to construct the weapons and that Tehran would “directly respond against Israel should its security be targeted.” This comes on the heels of the Biden administration’s failed attempt to restart the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a treaty that would have allegedly prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapons capability. (AC: Western intelligence agencies have yet to observe a full-scale Iranian nuclear weapons test. While Iran most likely has the technical and material means to produce a nuclear weapon, it has yet to operationalize those means. Once Iran conducts an observable nuclear weapons test, expect increasing tensions and a nuclear arms race in the Arabian Gulf. In the interim, this would be the prime time for Israel to kinetically address the rising threat from Iran. – M.M.)

    Using “Israel” and “Kinetic” in the same sentence is vaguely troubling, however….

    • Socrates-Detroit July 18, 2022 at 11:38 am #

      An assassination in June 1914 was the spark gradually led to the chain reaction of WW1 in September 1914.

      Back then, events moved much more slowly, and while WW1 was EUROPE’s first industrial grade slaughter (the US Civil war was arguably the first industrial grade war, and a good preview), the level of destructive power was much lower then.

      I don’t have problem with Iran having nukes. I don’t take the Iranian’s bellicose rhetoric too seriously.

      But Israel has a problem with Iranian nukes. And an Israeli KINETIC preemptive strike could spark WW3.

      As it stands today, we are already in an economic World War. One which there are NO absolute winners. Every country is an absolute loser.

      The only absolute winner is the the Western ruling class, which can leverage this to enslave the people of the West, most of whom, outside of this space and others, is too ignorant or has been fooled, and doesn’t realize this.

      However, the Western elites need to rule over a fairly healthy West to face the Eastern elites, known as the Chinese elite.

      China is the biggest relative winner. Russia is a relative winner. Europe is the biggest relative loser so far. The US is a relative loser. And soon, a food becomes a problem in nations and regions where it was not, we will have more losers.

      So, to your point about Iran/Israel, as of this writing we have

      1. Front ONE: hot PROXY between West with Ukranian cannon fodder and Russia. Russia winning, West contemplating, and more Ukranian men fleeing to Rumania to avoid being conscripted.

      If accounts that western high-tech weapons stocks are running low are correct, then what options are left for West to “bleed Russia”? Escalation. Not good.

      2. Front TWO: Economic war. Russia doing fine, West in decline with rampant inflation and shortages, just wait till winter, and world about to short on food.

      3. Israel will do whatever it wants. It could start Front THREE with Iran, which could lead to a Sunni/Shiite war, and could distract Russian air and missile assets from Ukraine.

      4. And if Front THREE goes bad for the US-led West, well, maybe Taiwan can declare independence and we can have Front FOUR.

      And there’s WW3! Kind of like 1984. Will the major combatants (US, Russia, China) limit their use of WMD to “lesser countries”? While Iran’s ability to retaliate against Israel may be limited, what about Iran’s ability to injure Saudi Arabia? Can Iranian missiles make to Saudi? Can some dirty nuke irradiate a few oil fields or shipping terminals? It won’t take much? What then?

      Things are bad, my friends. And for those of us who live in urban or suburban areas, our way of life is very, very fragile….

        • Socrates-Detroit July 18, 2022 at 11:31 pm #

          Thanks Blackbird, I just googled the book, it looks very interesting.

          My point above was using the “conventional” view that the assassination of the Austrian Archduke was the spark that lit the fuse, and, according the “typical” history, event raced ahead of those NOMINALLY in charge.

          From the google page, it appears that the book builds the case that the British elite set up the pieces and the dry kindling for the war. The “very rich and powerful of London did this”.

          And that’s consistent with my view, as an amateur, former, student of history.

          The British Empire, and British industry, was being eclipsed by rapidly rising Germany and the rapidly rising US.

          Wall Street (US big capital) had links with London (British capital), and the British financiers could affect Wall St

          This was preferable to war (the US and Britain almost went to was in 1890 over US objections to British meddling in the “New World”–the Monroe Doctrine).

          It was better to coopt the Americans to cut down Germany. While Germany was “late” to the colonial expansions, where Britain had India and much of Africa, and France had quite a bit, German products were innovative and doing well in world markets, taking sales from Britain.

          This could not continue. So the British began to arrange the pieces in Europe against Germany, and appealed to Franco/Belgian fears.

          So chances are, something would have happened in Europe, yes.

          Is that the jist of the book?

          History rhymes..Britain trying to cut down Germany from 1890 to 1914. The US doing the same to Russia from 1995 to now….

          One thing about WW1–if the US had just stayed out, the Anglo/French/Italian alliance would not have prevailed against Germany. Germany probably could not win either–better on the battlefield, but blockaded by Britain. So they would have had some kind of negotiated settlement.

          We can only speculate.

          However, we know what happened. Thanks to the US involvement, Germany was defeated. The vindictive French hijacked the peace process, went even further than the sleazy Brits (who blockaded Germany for a year after the Armistice–even British officials protested at the inhumanity of the blockade), and Germany was blamed.

          Germany came back and we had WW2. And WW2 is not necessarily as taught, since Poland in 1939 (like Ukraine today, and also a dictatorship like Ukraine, per Pat Buchanan’s book Unnecessary War) was “encouraged” to “stand up” to Germany’s reasonable demands for access to Danzig, and then the Germans took matters into their own hands while Britain did (and could do) nothing.

          If we drill deeply my friend, we may not like what we find about the US of A, Europe, and who rules the world….

          • Blackbird July 19, 2022 at 12:22 am #

            You got it – but get the book anyway. The authors support their thesis with plenty of first-person references (i.e., letters between rulers/diplomats, cables between embassies, etc.). I like that kind of documentation that most are too lazy to provide.

            If you haven’t yet, get Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time by Carrol Quigley. Don’t stop reading it, you’ll learn something new every time.

            As a recovering Anglo-Zionist, the extent of our planning and success surprised even me. (Of course I was always on the furthest outside reaches of that merry-go-round, holding on for dear life.)

          • Socrates-Detroit July 19, 2022 at 9:34 am #

            Tragedy and Hope. FOR SURE!

            I believe only 2,000 copies were printed (or the original).

            I consider myself fortunate to have learned of the book when I started college (not from college, lol–from an old friend of my father’s who was visiting and took an interest in my “thoughts” as late teen). My dad’s friend, Steve, opened my eyes, and I am indebted to him. To paraphrase “The Matrix”, he gave me the RED pill (the world as it is). It was impossible to find the book–I finally found one in a university library, either Stony Brook NY or Eastern Carolina, in my 20s.
            I did what I had to be able to check it out, and I photocopied about 70 pages of it.

            As Blackbird says, one can read this book over and over, almost like the Bible. I have not re-read it, I admit.

            It is a secular Bible of sorts.

            Professor Caroll Quigley, of Georgetown, may have written a bit too much. In his “history”, he documents the existence of a network whose aim is

            “nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in PRIVATE hands to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole”

            aka, WORLD DOMINATION THRU FINANCIAL MANIPULATION.

            He himself agreed with their aims, but felt they should not be kept secret, as it was good for humanity.

            I have read he is said to have regretted this, and his role, toward the end of his life.

            The (US) Council on Foreign Relations (patterned after the British one) and the New Republic magazine were created with the goal of bringing the US into WW1 for the benefit of London (finance) and Wall St. The Bilderberg Group. Today’s WEF/Davos. That is the “network”.

            Look around what has been happening in modern history, and it’s just a more sophisticated play of history since the middle ages: acquire a lot of capital/money however (interest/usury); bankroll King A and King B; when King A steps out of line, bankroll King B to wage war and take territory (assets from King A).

            JHK, in “The Long Emergency”, has pointed out for a while that the world has resource constraints.

            (shout out to our host, I’d say “The LE” is one in the top ten most significant books I have read, thank you JHK!!!)

            They elite know the resource constraints–real and contrived–and they are leveraging this continue their quest for total domination.

            The arrival of “outsider” (whether he was/is a real outsider, or a contrived one is irrelevant) Trump has made them redouble their efforts.

            The COVID shots and lockdowns.

            The war in Ukraine and coming lockdowns due to lack of energy and rationing (“essential services” stay open, you close).

            Both of these crises showcase how cruel and evil the elite are.

            It’s all part of this “one world” vision of theirs.

            However, “total domination” is ultimately evil, as it is incompatible with God.

            The elite want to lord it over the rest of us, yes. But do they really want to preside over a barren wasteland?

            With Ukraine, perhaps even more with Iran, things may spiral out of control.

            I do not believe that the Earth will end–God will intervene. But between now and then, it may be a very rough ride….

            Sorry for the long commentary–but anyone interested in “how the world works” should read Tragedy and Hope. It has (or had) been reprinted, I was able to get a copy via the internet in 20xx.

          • Paula D July 19, 2022 at 2:15 pm #

            What makes the most sense to me is that fact that the industrialized world was turning from coal to oil, including Britain, which had switched the Royal Navy to oil in 1915.
            Germany was also planning on switching and was building a railroad to Iraq to ship Iraqi oil to Germany. Britain wanted to stop them.
            The oil wars started then.
            Japan attacked the US because the US cut off oil to Japan.
            And so on.

        As someone who grew into adulthood during the 1960s “balance of terror”, utterly convinced that I was not going to be able to grow into adulthood (USAF family, lived on air bases, read Herman Kahn devoutly) my concern is that the fuzzy-wuzzies of the world only see nuclear weapons as an enlarged version of what they already wield.

        A grave error.

        One commentator has suggested that every world leader be required to stand in the open, well-removed from Ground Zero, in a t-shirt and shorts, and personally witness an atmospheric detonation of a nuclear device.

        That sort of “shock treatment” reportedly snapped the deluded, genocidal Chairman Mao into sober recognition of what the allied forces in North Korea were capable of doing to PLA human assault waves, not to mention Beijing, in the latter stages of the Korean “police action”.

      “Israel does not have the courage to strike IRAN.” – THE POLITICAL

    • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 1:54 pm #

      Are Israel and Iran really enemies?
      Remember that when the psychopath Oliver North was running his guns for drugs criminal activity out of the White House in the 80s, he used Israel to deliver the weapons to Iran.
      I have seen nothing since then (except rhetoric) to conclude that Iran and Israel have reason to be enemies.
      I do remember that the Israeli Defense Minister testified that the evil John Bolton tried to get Israel to attack Iran during Bush the Lesser’s (really Cheney’s) reign, but that Israel rejected that as insane.
      And remember the reason that the US murdered Gen. Soleimani was that he was in Iraq as a negotiator for a peace treaty between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
      No way the US wanted that to happen so they blew him up at the civilian airport, along with a lot of other people who happened to be around him.
      Western “values” and all.
      The US has been claiming that Iran is ”5 years away” from having a nuclear bomb since 1979. That would be 43 years of being 5 years away. I know Americans can’t do math, but this is ridiculous.
      I take Kharrazi’s statement as Iran playing along with the bullshit for their own reasons.

      • Blackbird July 18, 2022 at 10:36 pm #

        • Paula D July 19, 2022 at 2:21 pm #

          Look at a map. Israel is not adjacent to Iran, for one.
          For another, Iran 8 times larger than Israel and has 10 times the population.
          Israel only has something like 8 million citizens and half of them are Arabs. No way they can overrun Iran, nor have I ever seen proof that they have plans to,
          It’s just common sense.

          • Blackbird July 20, 2022 at 6:58 pm #

            Israel needs Iran as an excuse for conflict throughout the middle east, just as the U$ needed the USSR for the Cold War – an excuse to destabilize, invade, rape, and rob.

    The tectonics plates are shifting such that the Davos puppets are on their way out. The question is how much more damage can they do before people figure out that they need to go. Probably a lot. We’ve also got Mother Nature telling us that we’re pretty close to peak energy consumption globally, if we’re not there already. Another wild card is whether nukes start flying in an as of yet unpredictable manner.

            The Vatican merged its finances with the Rothschilds a century ago. Post-Vatican Two Popes have personal Rabbis who act as advisors.

            Do famous Rabbis have Cardinals or Popes as advisors? No. So it is clear who is dominant.

        As has been said repeatedly, Everything is being controlled and run by the banks. All wars are bankers’ wars. Because war IS money.

        But all this reminds me of that infamous document The Report From Iron Mountain. If the participants in that meeting who wrote up this report are fictional (as we are told, of course) then you can move on.

        If however that Report has so many things in it that you can clearly see being enacted right now, then read on. What this meeting was really all about was around the question: “We have always used War as a means of controlling the People. Are there other ways”?

        It’s an interesting question. Wars have many advantages for the rulers pulling the puppets, e.g. wasting money. Deliberately wasting wealth. That way they keep wealth from the People who would have a higher standard of living otherwise, and People with higher stds. of living have time to THINK.

        Nonetheless, they considered other means: environmental crises, pandemics, and yes Virginia, believe it or not, an attack on Earth from Outer Space aliens (with advances in CGI and near real time 5G imagine the special effects! right on your “hand-held device”).

        The main thing to take away from this subject is that those in control of the World right now, and since, well, a long time ago, are not stupid and not fools. They spend a lot of time and money on “think tanks”. They ‘should be’ at least five steps ahead of everyone else.

        Lots of questions related to President Brandon…well just remember what FDR said, “If something happens in politics you can bet it was supposed to happen”. And he knew whereof he spoke, the sly fox!

        Hi Happiface, you need to educate yourself on energy return on investment rather than focusing on quantity that exists under the ground. It’s not that hard of a concept. Jed Clampett was able to pull 99 barrels out of the ground using 1 barrel of oil energy. Now it’s more like 10:1 or even 5:1 with most fracking operations. It’s a diminishing returns kind of thing. For that matter, global energy consumption per capita has been decreasing steadily since 2018. That’s not a matter of debate. That history has already been written. Yes, the people in charge are idiots, I’ll give you that.

    Well there’s one thing, the shooting at the Greenwood mall just south of Indy was thwarted by an armed civilian. So Joey B, how does that bear on your demand to take away all our guns and keep us all unarmed?

    Haven’t seen much of this shooting in the news lately, probably because it does not fit the narrative.

    • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 2:02 pm #

      Every week day my husband listens to NPR “news” in the morning and then I ask him “What’s today’s propaganda?” and he reports it to me.
      Today he said it was all about the Uvalde shooting and why 150 cops stood around doing nothing and their conclusion was that nobody was in command.
      150 cops and no commander? 150 cops and none of them could figure out for themselves to go stop an active shooter from killing little children?
      Then I asked him about the cops grabbing and handcuffing the mother frantic to save her children and the cop whose wife was the teacher shot so he was trying to get to her to save her. If no one was in charge who told the cops to stop the mother and the husband?

      Anyway, he told me about the armed citizen who stopped the massacre in Indiana and I was surprised that NPR reported it. He said it was just a brief mention. I assume they are covering their asses. They can now say they reported it.

    ” The Ukraine gambit is a bust, a foolish miscalculation that was obvious from the start. All it accomplished was to reveal the pitiful dependence of our European allies on Russian oil and gas, leaving their economies good and truly scuppered without it. The Russians end up with control of the Black Sea and probably the Ukraine bread-basket as well. So, now, Europe will starve and freeze.”
    Why a bust?

    1) The Bidens owe the corrupt Ukrainians for allowing Hunter to influence peddle there. Funneling taxpayer money to them shows that the Bidens are fair players, now other corrupt countries will feel more comfortable dealing with Hunter- the smartest man Joe Biden knows.

    2) Not all the 60 billion will go to Ukrainians. The Bidens get funnel a lot of it through U.S. military contractors. All that equipment we gave to the Taliban represented profit for U. S. companies, it was already paid for by taxpayers so why complain? The Taliban will have to buy spare parts just like an Afghan government would. Some parts could be copied in China or India but our companies will get a piece of the action. Even military equipment the Ukrainians divert to sell to the mid-east or wherever will require parts and service. It’s the safety razor model, take a “loss” on the razor and make it up on the blades.

    3) Military contractors get rich without U.S. Flag draped coffins too.

    4) By provoking problems with the gas supply to Europe the Bidens are teaching the Europeans to let us control their energy supply- this is long range wisdom on Joe Biden’s part. It also funnels huge amounts of money to American energy companies, maybe making fracking profitable again. Asking gas station owners to reduce their income to help out the consumer is great PR.

    5) #4 applies to the food supply too. It helps American farmers compete on the world market. By prolonging the Russian operation the Bidens are ensuring the Ukrainian harvest will be disrupted. So demand for U.S. Agricultural products will drive up agri-business profits.

    6) Putin absolves the Democrats of any responsibility for inflation, and they get to paint the high prices as a way for the average person to fight the evil Russians. We like to think we’re doing the world good when we shop don’t we. I remember president Bush telling us to fight terror by maxing out our credit cards. ( Side note- a month or so ago I tuned into English language Korean news and they were jumping on the blame Putin bandwagon saying that the inflation begining in 2021 was due to the Russian operation that began in 2022. )

    7) Hunger will drive more people to rush Biden’s open borders. These people will remember that it was the Biden’s and Democrats who let them come so will vote gratefully- if not legally. The low wage workers will also be a gift to American businesses.

    8) Since the fighting is white males killing white males the people the democratic base claims are responsible for all the worlds problems the human loss plays well with the identity politics side of things.

    I think I’m forgetting a few pieces of the argument against the Ukrainian gambit being a “bust”.

    I’m thinking that Biden is a better business person than Trump. If Hunter really is smarter then maybe we can benefit by having another president Biden. Like the Bush pattern, Bush 1 does 1 term, a break with President Harris for 2 Terms then another Biden for 2 terms.

    Say what you will but I’d rather be in the South than anywhere North these days. Yes it’s hot for longer but we get an awful lot of rain as well and our growing/ harvesting season is long. My wife and I only started gardening this year and on merely 400 sq. ft. we’ve been yielding more than we need. Our next step is to start keeping chickens. I live in an open carry state and I feel quite safe where we live. Being in the Bible Belt also means that, outside of the two modestly liberal centers, sanity and decency largely prevail and although meth addicts and queers exist they are not tolerated as they are in the North. Too bad for NY though, because upstate (and New England) are really lovely. Still, I’d rather live peacefully in a strange land than ride out the apocalypse on more familiar ground. And even if the South ultimately returns to its history of ultra religiosity I’ll take that hands down after having lived in that old Northern Tilt-A-Whirl.

I worked in the ghettoes for many years, often completely surrounded by black folks. But I never had any problems because I never emitted hatred, suspicion and distrust even when someone disliked me. I maintained a lookout just in case but always assumed good intent. I never spurned interactions with them, including children in the streets, merchants, pedestrians, other motorists, etc. You should try it some time, if you dare to venture beyond your end of the colour spectrum.

    • Billy Hill July 18, 2022 at 12:47 pm #

      I think the Russians are now playing hardball. Shoigu ordered the frontline command to speed it up — which is somewhat at odds with Larry Johnson’s take on things today that the longer it is drawn out the worse it becomes for NATOstan.

      The longer it goes on the greater the chance of catastrophic error either from technology or human failure. On the other hand will NATOstan simply endure another humiliation?

      • BackRowHeckler July 18, 2022 at 1:09 pm #

        Well, just yesterday the Russian Minister of Defense, Sergi Shoigu, meted out warnings to Ukraine and NATO in response to the former’s threats to launch attacks on Crimea, and specifically take out the 11 mile long Crimean Bridge. He threatened to “Unleash Hell”, and insinuated Kiev would be flattened.

        • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 2:08 pm #

        • Billy Hill July 18, 2022 at 2:36 pm #

          Crimea is Russian territory unlike the Donbas. The Russians have been quite clear that attacks on Russian territory will be met with attacks on the decision-makers, and not just those in Kiev.

          The only good news is that barring a Ukie advance to the East through Kherson oblast their weapons systems do not have the range — at least at this time. Andrei Martyanov has graphed it in response to Breedlove’s verbal excesses regarding the Kerch bridge. I don’t recall if his argument included the 300km HIMARS munitions.

          Alex Mercouris believes that there are still voices of restraint countering the Neocons in Washington. Not sure I share his optimism. Although I don’t think the Russians will use a nuclear-armed missile to hit Langley or the Pentagon I am happy to be far away.

          • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 4:45 pm #

            I think they will start with the NATO commanders in Kiev and maybe the planes sending intelligence to the Ukies that fly up and down the border with Poland before they would hit US territory. I could be wrong. Putin did say that Russia is not going to allow the US to sit across the ocean unscathed again, while Russia takes the causalities.
            I also watch Alexander and I note that he thought the strike on the arms dealers in Vinnytsia was a retaliation. I can’t remember exactly which provocation they were responding to, but he did make that connection.
            Note that the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda pulled out of the stops for that one.
            The US constantly brags that they are winning the propaganda war and I have to give that to them. Ain’t no one finer at flinging the bullshit than the US/western media.

          • Paula D July 19, 2022 at 2:26 pm #

            Right, Blackbird, but Crimea is literally part of Russia and Donestsk and Lugansk are independent territories.

      • FGB3 July 18, 2022 at 6:32 pm #

        Shoigu decided to move faster because the Russian army has successfully rid the Donbass republics of the Kievan Regime’s army, AND they did so slowly to preserve lives and infrastructure. Remember that Lukansk and Donestk (sp.?) are home to Russians! And the Donbass is where the majority of the Kiev Regimes regular army was stationed.

        With that army now decimated and the Donbass cleared of their strongholds, there is nothing standing in the way of the Russian army all the way to the western Ukrainian border. And the topography opens up too. So expect to see much faster logistical operations.

        • Paula D July 19, 2022 at 2:28 pm #

          Lugansk is liberated but Donestsk is not, yet.
          They are still working on getting the Ukies out of Donetsk. It’s not easy because they have been digging in for the last 8 years and there are thousands of them and they use civilians as human shields.

    Just survived the latest variant of the Covid. No biggie: headache, body aches, four day flu, stay in bed, easy peasy. Except for the Looong Covid part…Feel physically great but brain not working. If I could compare it to something(s) you might know: There is a background of a food coma one hour after a foot-long cheesesteak on a fluffy white roll and the ringing jerkiness of a mild concussion you experience after you’ve crawled from a wrecked car against advice of the first responder and you’re waiting for a paramedic to tell you if you can go to work.I realized this as I read Jim’s description of JB bumping around into MBS’ s furniture like a 6-ft Roomba. Anyway, no more oil for Joe and luckily the Strategic Reserve is closed and locked up tighter than Cheyanne Mountain against any additional humanitarian donations to Biden affiliates.

    Hahahahaha…..can’t feel too sorry for the DC scum that have brought this upon themselves.

    “DC homeless shelters are filling up with migrants from Arizona and Texas Mayor Muriel Bowser claims”

    www (dot) msn.com/en-us/news/us/dc-homeless-shelters-are-filling-up-with-migrants-from-arizona-and-texas-mayor-muriel-bowser-claims/ar-AAZG9jY

    Washington, D.C.’s homeless shelters are filling up because Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending busloads of migrants from his state to the nation’s capital, Mayor Muriel Bowser claimed Sunday morning.

    The D.C. mayor is requesting that Abbott stop preventing migrants from getting to their final destinations.

    ‘I fear that they’re being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America,’ she added.

    • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 2:11 pm #

      That is a very interesting quote.
      I have pointed out for years that the ”migrants” seem to disappear once they cross the border. Miles of humans trudging along Mexican highways never turn into humans trudging along US highways on their way to Chicago hotels or Kansas slaughterhouses or California fields.
      And now Ms Bowser has spilled the beans.
      Keep it up, Abbott!

    • SW July 18, 2022 at 2:25 pm #

      Mayor Bowser can provide food and shelter for them just like she wants Texas to do. I think Abbott sending them directly to DC was a stroke of genius and I can assure you, no one in Texas is complaining.

    “CNN acts shocked that it’s over 100-degrees in Texas. Really? Never seen that before?”

    Proof that a climate catastrophe is upon us. Um OK, 42 years ago, 1980, Dallas ran 42 days with consecutive temps over 100. They’re not even close to breaking that run. Back then I doubt if they had half as much blacktop as now. But hey, push the panic button if you feel the urge. CNN watchers love that shit.

    • BackRowHeckler July 18, 2022 at 1:13 pm #

      Pretty nice summer round these parts, Stelmo. Hasn’t topped 90°F yet, altho a mini heatwave is in the forecast. Finally getting some rain today — watch how green everything gets in a few days.

      • Q. Shtik July 18, 2022 at 1:41 pm #

        Nine out of the next ten days where I live (central NJ) will have a high of 90 or greater. Not particularly unusual, I don’t think.

        • Blackbird July 18, 2022 at 11:30 pm #

          Not one day yet over 100 (southeastern, northeastern, lower Michigan) – but not that unusual…

          Not much rain either, just humidity, wind, and lightning. So I hand-feed my garden, which – once again – won’t feed me.

        I was at my swimming pool yesterday and the wind was blowing. A lot of yellow leaves on the trees blew down – a lot. The landscaping in our area is stressed and dried out. We’re in a drought here. Right now it’s pretty overcast and maybe it will rain later. We could use it.

        BTW, my hip is getting better, but not all better. I’m doing ok and don’t use any walking devices. What with my back and hip, I used to be in pain every day, but now when I wake up pain-free, my body thinks something’s wrong with it and I have to tell myself I’m fine. The only thing left for me is to build up my endurance – I can’t do too much without getting exhausted, and I’m sleeping 9 – 9.5 hours a day. But I can see I’m getting healthy again.

        Well, I’m going off to physical therapy shortly, where they kick the shit out of me; it’s literally a pain in the butt. Actually it’s not too bad, but I feel like complaining. LOL.

        • cowbell81 July 18, 2022 at 2:11 pm #

          Beaner Bill, you are quite the man. So glad to hear that your energy is back up and pain levels are subsiding. At least you got all that medical stuff taken care of while you could, before we quickly fall down the slippery slide that will be the long emergency.

          • beantownbill. July 18, 2022 at 5:17 pm #

            Thank you. I did good today at PT. Last time the therapists had me on a recumbent bicycle. Today I started doing reps on a leg extension machine with weights and it was great. We’re starting to focus on strength training as well as stretching. I’m wondering if I should sign up for the 2023 Boston Marathon now.

            It wasn’t because I was smart that I got the surgery, it was because I was in constant pain, couldn’t sleep long and was very uncomfortable, so I reluctantly opted for the surgery. I’m just lucky about the timing. Now when the intruders come to my complex to rob me, I’ll be able to fight and take evasive action. For awhile I had fantasies about it ending it all for me when the bad and/or desperate guys broke into my home and I go down shooting from my bed.

        • SpeedyBB July 20, 2022 at 1:11 am #

          Exactly three months since I had my own hip replacement. At the time, I winced at the seven thousand clams it cost me but then someone here at CFN said a similar op could be up to two hundred thou in the USA, so I stopped complaining.

          Both legs are hurting, strangely enough, and particularly my knees. The new metal hip and territory around it are not at all painful.

          I attribute the discomfort in my legs to the relatively awkward way I am forced to walk, putting stress on bones, ligaments and muscles in a way they are not accustomed to. I must look like an old sea captain, waddling along.

          Fun note: Doctor Google informed me that bicycling is only 20% as stressful on the hips and legs as walking, so I started biking a couple of weeks ago. The pain in the legs I get from walking is not there at all when I’m on two wheels.

          Careful not to fall over and spring my new implant loose, however…

      • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 2:14 pm #

      Lived in Dallas 1976 to 78.

      Summer weather was lots of 100 to 105 with occasional above that, highest 109.

      Phoenix has gotten warmer in last 18 years, we see 110 and above for days in a row now. Hottest month seems to be shifting from June to July.

      Hottest I have seen here, 122. I used to Facebook my thermometer when it hit 120. Not often.

      • JohnAZ July 18, 2022 at 1:30 pm #

        Heat islands in huge megapolises could definitely be adding heat to the atmosphere and maybe why the northern hemisphere, where all the cities are, is melting its ice cap faster than the southern.

        A huge question today is whether heating effects of urban development might be a larger effect on warming than CO2 and methane.

        Or as usual, it is all three.

        • FGB3 July 18, 2022 at 6:42 pm #

          You sort of left out the giant elephant in the room JohnAZ the on-going climate engineering. All those man-made “clouds” created by the stratospheric aerosol injections are up there just for fun, sport, and amusement.

          As I said above, the Iron Mountain report specifically recommended environmental crises as an alternative to War for keeping the serfs under control. So when their scientists started to holler about “global warming”, they were setting the stage for what we are seeing now.

          It’s hard for the average Joe and Jane to know the difference between one kind of human cause and another. Both are human caused, but one is an active geo-engineering program and the other is a lie.

        I’m reading a book about people who die in the Grand Canyon. Heat is the main killer. What on Earth are people thinking when they do strenuous hikes through a treeless expanse with the temperatures way over a 100?

        Some strong, experience thrill seekers are driven to test themselves. Such people are not to be blindly emulated. Know thyself. Are you hiking for pleasure or to test yourself? And if the latter, how much? To the point of putting yourself in danger? Do you know your limits? Do you know the conditions? Are you strong enough to carry the amount of water you will need?

        So what are people thinking? They aren’t.

        If only Europe could bottle up some of that heat and store it for the long, cold winter they are about to experience due to the lack of Russian natgas. Boy of boy, those people in the UK will be wishing for the 100 degree days of summer come winter!

        Maybe along with everything else, society has bred a complete new generation of pansies that cannot even take the hot or the cold, but need to be at a constant 69 degrees F at all times.

        • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 2:17 pm #

          I have seen Americans sleeping in the snow on the sidewalks of Boston and Chicago.
          So it cracks me up when people claim that they will “freeze to death” next winter because they have to turn the thermostats down in their houses.

          • cowbell81 July 18, 2022 at 2:23 pm #

            Indeed, the majority of people are so soft these days, they cannot take a joke, a veiled insult, or a bit of sweat breaking upon their brow.

            I have one of those “mummy” sleeping bags that is good to like 30 below, so I have nothing to fear. The only things I worry about is the safety and comfort of my dog at home while I am away at work, and keeping my water pipes from freezing and bursting.

            One winter I had the air in my house so cold that a slight sheet of ice formed on the water in my toilet bowls! That I when I knew to turn the heat up a few extra degrees.

          • Paula D July 18, 2022 at 2:41 pm #

            Yes, pipes bursting is a potential problem.
            I have never had pipes burst (knock on wood) but my daughter in Texas had hers burst during the freeze of 2021.
            I think that our building codes are probably stricter here.

          • Jarek July 18, 2022 at 2:42 pm #

            People freeze to death all the time on the streets of America, Paula. Just as elderly English people freeze to death in their homes, or succumb to illness from being cold all the time. Not the immigrants, but rather native White English pensioners.

            This is not a fabrication. Rather, it is a well-documented fact.

            This is from Wikipedia:

            In a 2017 interview, Klaus Schwab said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been recognized as a Young Global Leader, and also mentioned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: “I have to say, when I mention now names, like Mrs. (Angela) Merkel and even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. But what we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister (Justin) Trudeau … We penetrate the cabinet. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of his cabinet, or even more than half of his cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders.”[12] Klaus has mentioned Putin a second time as shown in the documentary Das Forum, which goes into behind the scenes footage of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. In the clip Klaus states “Mrs. Merkel, Tony Blair, even Putin, they were all Young Global Leaders before.”[13]

            en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Young_Global_Leaders

            The Young Global Leaders was started in 1993 when Putin was already 40 years old which would age him out.
            There is no proof that he was ever involved except a statement by Schwab on a stage one time.

          • Night Owl July 19, 2022 at 9:22 pm #

            Everything Putin does is counter to the WEF agenda.

            Soros is on record as hating him, IIRC.

            And Soros just admitted recently that his OSF office in Ukraine is one of their most important.

            Add in what we have discovered about Ukraine’s role in the Great Reset, and Putin’s actions look even more positive.

            It was also Putin who put an end to the Anglo-American war machine’s previous proxy war in Syria, by sending their ISIS headchoppers to the Gardens of Pleasure.

    ” there is good news to be found;

    IRAN CLAIMS NUCLEAR WEAPON CAPABILITY

    That would be good news to Me.

    No caveats on the horizon……

    The United States seemed to get really high on its moral high horse for awhile there regarding North Korea.

    Then , oops , North Korea got Nukes .

    I suspect they aren’t Cadillac nukes , but more like Honda Civic nukes .

    But that’s probably enough to make for a really fucking bad day in the second , fourth , and fifth richest economies in the world ,

    And probably enough to trigger two to three years of no spring or summer worldwide, or at least a large portion of it.

    Gee , North Korea got bumped to page 14 in a God damned hurry.

    Which , no , doesn’t break my heart.

    Among other reasons because I really don’t believe one American in a thousand gives a flying fuck whether North Koreans live in Aushwitz or in Disneyland.

    Iran —-

    Well, even the Shah had figured out by 1970 that the United States was no friend to Iran ,

    But the image of his regime had been irretrievably tarnished, the CIA started backing the Mullahs , and then cancer intervened.

    It would be a stupid or a crazy Iranian to trust U.S. government goodwill ,

    Especially when was the last time the U.S. government said anything regarding Iran that wasn’t flagrantly condescending, and /or blatantly hostile .

    “Whose idea was it to send the wind-up doll president called ‘Joe Biden’ to Saudi Arabia?”

    The Indispensable Nation has become a World-wide laughing stock. A running Monty Python gag without the humor or intelligence behind theirs. A Nation that once was revered by many as the greatest Nation ever seen upon the face of the Earth has now fully devolved into slap-stick buffoonery and National embarrassment.

    The Marx Brothers and Three Stooges were geniuses compared to those who sit in High Places these days in elected and corporate offices all around United States Incorporated.

    It is important to note that Resident Biden is irrelevant in this entire process of ongoing National debasement and erasure. But those who hide in the darkest corners of Deep State who push this empty shell of a man around the World are eminently dangerous to all the people of the World.

    “Air Force One wings home through clouds of despair.”

    Air Force One limps home to Nation in crisis and anger and frustration and with a deepening sense of dread over what the next coming atrocity will be that is foisted upon We the People in this ongoing National Final Liquidation and population removal campaign.

    “So, now, Europe will starve and freeze.”

    And in much of The Indispensable Nation right now we are starving and burning up.

    Temperatures are rising… crops are dying… herds are being culled… rain is nowhere to be seen… and the process of ridding the Earth of these pesky and annoying natural resource-wasters known as human beings goes on as scheduled. And in the darkest corners of those who hide in the shadows… their snickering and laughter is palpable. Mission accomplished, right?

    “Somehow, Mr. Putin’s Russia is left to represent what remains of international rule-of-law while the western democracies sink deeper into a morass of deranged despotism.”

    Read Edgar Cayce on this subject. He saw this coming years ago. Nailed it.

    “Meanwhile, behind the news about emerging Omicron sub-variants…”

    Breaking News! Cold viruses mutate! They always have. They always will. We have never been without them. And we will never be without them.

    What’s different this time is that instead of just going on about our lives and business… billions of people want to just quit, lay down, mask-up, get more punctures… roll over, and die.

    Because of ‘The Virus!’? No. Because they have lost their will to live. They live without purpose in Life. They have given up. All they have left is to embrace the latest mutation of a cold virus to give their empty lives meaning while hoping that that their Dear Daddy Doctor ‘The Science!’ gives them a big hug and ‘guidance’ and feeds their infantile need to have this monster lovingly pat them on the head.

    Still trying to please Daddy after all these years. In whatever form ‘Daddy’ appears in your life.

        I’m re-posting my reply because I notice that it’s been in moderation for a few days now because I supplied a link. (You can find this quote a lot of places if you do a search.)

        Cayce’s words on Russia are, “Through Russia,” Cayce said “comes the hope of the world. Not in respect to what is sometimes termed Communism or Bolshevism — no! But freedom — freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man. The principle has been born there. It will take years for it to be crystallized; yet out of Russia comes again the hope of the world.”

        As far as I know, that’s all he had to say about that.

      • Roundball Shaman July 20, 2022 at 1:56 pm #

        Edgar Cayce was a deeply spiritual person who had an extraordinary ability to read energies and perceive realms beyond the normal range. He would likely be quite intrigued by seeing World events these days with regard to his reading on this subject and what has happened to the spiritual makeup of the United States and Russia since he departed from this Earth.

    Haaland, 61, the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary.

    “An evaluation this morning confirmed a break to her left fibula,” the statement said. “She is grateful to Park staff, the U.S. Park Police, and the team at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for their excellent care.”

    It is unclear the severity of Haaland’s injury, where on the fibula the break occurred, or how long it may take for it to heal. The fibula, also called the calf bone, is a long bone that runs next to the larger tibia bone, or shin bone.

    Incredibly excellent article today, James, Bravo! So many good lines in there, it was hard to pick.

    This one was very poignant & sums up the Russia/Ukraine conflict so succinctly: “The Ukraine gambit is a bust, a foolish miscalculation that was obvious from the start. All it accomplished was to reveal the pitiful dependence of our European allies on Russian oil and gas, leaving their economies good and truly scuppered without it.”

    Seems like the biggest incidence of cutting off one’s nose to spite his face that I can recall.

    ” Your idea and rage were so real to you at that moment. Now you can’t even remember what is was about!  ”

    Thomas Paine’s , The Age of Reason ” was my Bible for the better part of 30 years.

    If you haven’t read it , in brief ;

    Paine did not think Atheism was intrinsically evil — he simply didn’t take it seriously.

    He thought Atheism was bat shit .

    But he was no friend of Christianity.

    Like I said , that was my Bible for past 30 years.

    Saul who became Paul and I it seems had a lot in common back in the day.

    But Russian tanks are shit , and we are the axis of evil — that I did not come to late.

    That has been life – long.

    Vietnam was slightly before my time , never the less I remember it well.

    All those Americans protesting the war , and talking shit about the U.S. Armed Forces , though they actually performed rather well in that war ,

    Anyway , those folks got college degrees for their trouble.

    They did more to aid the Viet Mihn than I ever did , but I got the grief.

    Near as I can make out to this day , because I did love my country.

    My guess would be that what angered me this time was , as it commonly is , some cute secular comment about religiosity , or which I interpreted as such ,

    Which again actually relates more to the Saul ,
    than the Paul ;

    Secularism has a long history of fanatically fiendishly sadistic and genocidal behavior.

    If anything they make the Aztecs and Thugee appear oddly moderate.

    A life time of shit about the Berlin Wall , but Trumps number one or number two campaign plank was a wall.

    Fixed elections !?

    A country that covers four time zones , and you have only had two viable political parties for over a hundred years.

    If that doesn’t suggest fixed , I don’t know what the fuck would.

    And so on.

    Anyway , that’s some bad blood that in my case goes back a lot further than a particular
    theology.

    You know one thing I’m surprised about? That more people didn’t engage in looting and rioting at the Indiana mall while that shooting was occurring yesterday. In any other big “blue” American city, the citizens would have taken it upon themselves to use this chaos to their advantage, and liberate some of the goodies that those stores in the mall had to offer.

    • MaryQueen July 18, 2022 at 6:46 pm #

      What’s most surprising is that no one heard of the mall shooting (at least I didn’t, nor did my friends) because apparently a good guy with a gun stopped the gunman and saved who knows how many lives.

      I don’t think anybody in their right frame of mind would ever want to take on the job of POTUS. Used to be that a job in the government or public sector was akin to serving your country or community and trying to make it better. Now it is all about “me, me, me” and what kind of graft you can get.

      There no longer seems to be a country to lead, why do we even bother having a president any longer? Eliminating that position would at least cut $300k in salary plus fringe benefits from the payroll and the national debt.

    Just read a headline from the Guardian that stated:

    “Anthony Fauci says he will retire by end of Joe Biden’s first term”

    Key take away from this is the use of phrase “first term” – does this imply that there will perhaps be a second term for Biden? Is this a hint from the NWO that they are going to fix the election to give him a second term? I shudder at the thought.

      Make that plantains. “the white man’s footprint”. Common weed in the NE. Good for ya too. I have recently started to harvest the purslane weed that grows like crazy around here. My garden is overrun with the stuff . Everybody thinks it’s a weed. A weed is just an unwelcome plant. It is a superfood and grows everywhere. Vitamins and omegas like crazy. I think it tastes like spinach. Garlic and olive oil, yum. Look it up. It’s every where around here.

        I’ve eaten purslane. Not my favorite, but not half bad. I’m not a big fan of lamb’s quarters, either. (I guess I’m spoiled.) But almost anything is very tasty, with enough butter and garlic.

        What I do like very much is poke salat. One of the very best wild foods is wild parsnip roots. You dig them in winter or early spring. This is partly because that’s when the roots are at their best and partly because contact with the foliage causes a horrifying allergic reaction. But the foliage dies back in winter and you can still identify the plant by the little rosette on the ground. The roots are very sweet and flavorful.

            I’ve always planted a small patch of stinging nettle everywhere I’ve lived for the past 30 years.

            I had a patch when my kids were young. They used to have little-kid play-fights with a couple of neighbor kids, and once when one of the neighbor boys was chasing one of my girls, she lured him into running through a patch of stining nettles.

            Sometimes I would eat a small batch of nettles in the spring, before the plants got ratty looking. It does okay in Alfredo sauce too. I never made as much use of it as I probably should have.

          Dock leaves are my fav wild veg.

          • Anthea July 19, 2022 at 6:55 pm #

            Dock is only good in early spring, before it get tough. Interestingly, people in the soapmaking groups of Facebook use the root to color soap pink. I never tried this, because I got fed up with natural soap colorants very early in my soapmaking career. Too many batches of cold-cut themed soaps. With madder root you get soap that looks like liverwurst. With indigo root you get battleship gray. Turmeric may or may not give you yellow, and if it does it fades in a month or so. Pain in the ass.

      • Anthea July 18, 2022 at 11:59 pm #

        Another wild superfood that is abundant around here is autumn olive berries. The berries are very high in lycopene, and some people have tried to market them as a health food. A sauce made from the berries tastes very similar to tomato sauce, but a little tannic. I’ve made spaghetti sauce with autumn olive berry sauce instead of tomato sauce and had people tell me they couldn’t tell the difference. (One of these people was a teenage boy who would have swallowed a sofa whole if I’d put butter and garlic on it.)

        When I first encountered the trees, I thought they must be some kind of wild cherry. So I used to make a sweet sauce from them and pass it off as “cherry sauce.” (The berries taste nothing like cherries.) It was good with pork chops and winter squash.

            Poke Salad, Poke Greens, Poke Salat, Poke Weed

          • cowbell81 July 19, 2022 at 4:48 pm #

            “Polk Salad Annie” is a 1968 song written and performed by Tony Joe White. Its lyrics describe the lifestyle of a poor rural Southern girl and her family. Traditionally, the term to describe the type of food highlighted in the song is polk or poke sallet, a cooked greens dish made from pokeweed.

          • Night Owl July 19, 2022 at 6:39 pm #

            Salat is also salad in German. Could be a connection.

          • Anthea July 19, 2022 at 7:08 pm #

            All parts of the poke plant are poisonous. Some people use the berries for colds and flu, using a dose of one or two berries, but the berries are poisonous and eating too many can kill a child.

            Poke salat greens that are not prepared properly to remove the toxins will give you diarrhea, but that’s about it. The root is VERY poisonous, but can be used as a medicine in VERY small doses. It has been used against cancer. Ethnobotanist J.L. Hudson says he cured his Lyme Disease with poke (presumably a tincture of the root).

            Poke leaves are gathered in the spring when the plant is only about 12 inches tall or less. Online sources will say to boil the greens in three changes of water. This turns them to mush and is not necessary.

            The way I prepare poke is to fill a large pot (6-8 quart size) with water, bring the water to a boil, throw in about a pound of poke leaves, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for about 20 minutes and drain. Poke is then ready to eat without being cooked to death.

            I always get a craving for poke in the spring. It probably has good nutrients in it, plus it is a lymphatic cleanser.

            I also noticed that whenever I ate poke this spring, my blood sugar dropped a lot. I’m diabetic, so this was good news. Or it could have been coincidence.

          • Anthea July 19, 2022 at 7:30 pm #

            @ cowbell:

            II always thought it was called poke because it was collected in a poke sack, but Wikipedia says the name comes from the Indian name “puccoon or pocan.”

            Some of the traditional medicinal uses are listed by Maude Grieve in “A Modern Herbal,” which you can view online. If you decide to try it as a medicine, use extreme caution. Maude Grieve does give recommended dosages.

        Another wild food that is common here in Missouri is Jerusalem artichoke. It’s very expensive in health food stores, but if you plant it in the garden you will be drowning in Jerusalem artichokes.

        I never learned to recognize the wild plant, but my daughter planted it in the garden a couple of years ago. She says that once you’re familiar with the plant you see it all over the place along the roadsides. It looks a lot like black-eyed Susans, and you have to learn to tell them apart.

            Every time it’s handled in the process to get it to market adds on to the final price.

          I wasn’t actually aware that there’s a “Blue No Matter Who” club. That’s probably because you just made it up, in your beguilingly attractive way-with-words style.

          There’s a couple of not-Blues I’d vote for. Adam Kinzinger for sure – he should be the next Republican nominee for president, but he can’t be because he’s actually sane…

          And possibly Liz Cheney – again, because at least she’s sane compared to the shysters & grifters she’d have to take on (though her weirdo crack about postpartum abortions puts a crack in that qualification to some extent).

          The GOP’s future looks like a mob of totally insane fuck-ups: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Louie Gohmert, Rick Scott, Rand Paul (though he’s looking less crazy, in comparison, by the day), Jim Jordan, Ronny Jackson and a whole ‘swatch’ (to quote ex-President Dickhead) of otherwise sane-looking but secretly gleeful Trumpistas.

    Personally, I view predictions more as guidestones than as verbatim readings of future scenarios and circumstances. Thus I feel as if I have been guided appropriately. To each their own of course.

    Speaking of predictions, I rewatched a movie this weekend called Await Further Instructions which came out in 2018, and was amazed to realize that it is essentially a looking glass prophecy into perhaps what the Schwabians would like for our ultimate future to be. I realized too how oblivious I was to the predictive programming when I first saw it. Basically without giving too many details the film essentially analogizes the pandemic lockdowns, the experimental vaccines, the collapse of civilization, and the triumph of AI? Question mark because its actually more like cyborgism rather than AI. But you can watch for those details. Anyhow, all of that to say that sometimes you don’t even know you’ve come across a prediction until its in the rearview mirror.

    • Woodchuck July 19, 2022 at 10:29 pm #

      Homo sapiens seems to differ from all the other mammals in that periodically we deliberately kill vast numbers of our own species. According to some DNA studies, we also had cannibalism going on among some of our species in the remote past. Compared to how dogs behave, we are disgusting. Stories in the New Testament propose that our sick behavior is the result of dsembodied evil entities influencing us or even acting out through us. Now us “educated” people think that our problems arise not from demonic activity but from the activity of the molecules and electric forces moving about in the cells in our brains. Sometimes when I’ve viewed those horrifying videos and pics of German concentration camps, I tend to think that what I’m viewing is something no other mammal on the planet would engage in – aside from humans. So as far as I’m concerned, what does that tell you when the rest of all the mammals on the planet won’t stoop down to our level?

      Predictions? Hey, who is to stop anyone from posting wacky predictions? I predict the US will push Russia to the edge, we get to the brink of an all out nuclear exchange, and none other than Jehovah Himself shows up? Not the kind, gentle Jesus, but the dude in the Old Testament who repented from ever making us and was so pissed off about our behavior once that he drowned just about everybody. We collectively force this guy to show up, and he arrives in a very foul mood and starts kicking asses world wide – starting from the top and then working on down to us. He decides to cut the Russians some slack because Russia is not only the planet’s largest country but it’s also officially Christian with the Russian state giving support to the Russian Orthodox Church.

      • Socrates-Detroit July 20, 2022 at 8:22 am #

        Russia’s (you can choose) special military operation in/invasion of Ukraine has pulled the veil off the feelings of visceral hatred toward Russia held by so many of the Western elite.

        Is this solely because of geopolitics and money?

        After all, even a “weakened”, post-USSR Russia was and is a major check on US ambitions. While Russia does, or did, participate in the dollar-denominated “global” (aka Western) trade system, it was not subservient to it.

        Or is there something more? The elites are secular. The Western elites are (naturally) descended from the Western Catholic Church. Protestantism is an offshoot of Catholicism.

        Russia is the only major power that is nominally Orthodox Christian. The white Russian elites are mostly Orthodox, or secularized descendents of Orthodoxy.

        There have only been two major Orthodox powers in history: the Byzantine Empire and Russia.

        The Byzantines were harassed and stabbed in the back by the West. Now the West seeks to “destroy” Russia via a proxy war.

        A war that was instigated BY the West, where Russia has very valid reasons to occupy the Ukraine for security.

        The actions, and accepted discourse (aka “some one should kill Putin”) are unprecedented.

        Anti-Orthodoxy is now veiled as “anti-Russia”. And anti-Russian is the new anti-Semitism.

        • Socrates-Detroit July 20, 2022 at 8:30 am #

          And essentially, anti-Orthodoxy is ultimately anti-Christianity.

          The elites are secular and Godless. THEY consider themselves, or want to be, and want to play God.

          That’s what Quigley revealed six decades ago (“world domination from financial manipulation”), when money had become a means of control, in addition to brute force.

          Now we have technology. The COVID vax is the opening for a new form of control–the vax pass, which today is a phone app or piece of paper, but could become a chip.

          Green is another: persuade people they must “change”. They will have nothing and become modern serfs in a feudal world owned and run by “elite” overlords…playing God.

          So, it’s not simply that the “elite/deep state/WEF/etc” hates “Orthodox Russia”–they are virulent haters of Christianity and Christians. It just so happens that, depending on one’s views and belief’s, Orthodox Christianity, as practiced by several (perhaps many?) Orthodox adherents, not just in Russia, but in other nominally Orthodox nations like Ukraine (ironically), Greece,Serbia, and Orthodox living in the US, Canada, Australia, and the West is the closest (the most “Orthodox”) form of Christianity, and thus the one to be most despised.

        • Paula D July 21, 2022 at 7:17 pm #

          I don’t think the elites hate Russia because they are Christian.
          They hated them during Soviet times because they inspired rebellion among the proles.
          They don’t hate them now, they just want their land and resources, and they will kill as many Russians as they need to, to get their stuff.
          They just whip up hate among the proles to further their piracy plans. Gotta have the masses following along with the agenda.

          • Socrates-Detroit July 22, 2022 at 10:41 am #

            Very true. A lot of tangible reasons.

            Still, I don’t remember these public expressions of visceral hatred when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, or when flight KAL 007 was shot down.

            Of course, now we live in more of a clown world now.

    We are all waiting for the other shoe to drop/the worm to turn/the pendulum to swing/the veil to be lifted/the straw to finally break the camel’s back….(did I forget any?)

    That would mean a massive revelation that would bring the public’s hive mind back to believing what their brain tells them instead of what the media tells them.

    We’ve been told the opposite of reality for so long, that would be quite a shock, wouldn’t it?

    My fear is that given the massively-deserved distrust so many now have with the media, if they were to make a bombshell shift and actually speak the truth, and the still-sane feel they are genuinely making progress toward the return of public sanity…would we even believe it? Or would that mean we are in even more of a dangerous situation than we are at the moment?

    • mitchellc July 19, 2022 at 10:02 am #

      Ha ha, excellent point. As utilized by many a famous author, would a shift to truth have a similar effect? That is, if the psychological damage has been so successfully effective, would truth now engender similar levels of distrust?

      That being said, the core points above and beyond these interesting speculations are thus: overshoot, depletion and degradation.

      We are 7x over a sustainable pop level, with resources used to support even that number consumed in a wild 100 year orgy of excess.

      Elite thinkers know the score – have known for decades – and are determined to win. They’ve crafted a plan to retain power in a future neo feudal environment that entails strict controls over property, travel and social rights.

      We get it – the time now is observing the game play out.

  59. mitchellc July 19, 2022 at 9:48 am #

    JohnAZ, I’ve got to say you seem to have made the furthest strides from normal political opinion to one of complete understanding in a very short time.

    It does give some hope that if your journey is representative of even a small minority of people, it still constitutes numbers in the millions.

    Ultimately, and this is what your current posts now accurately reflect, is that a small organized minority will prevail against a larger dis/un organized majority.

    If a sense of duty is inverted, then corruption is justified by those competing in politics/government as just another platform where the ‘best’ succeed in their chosen endeavors.

    Once you understand that critical aspect, then you can shed any sense of betrayal and outrage upon discovering that your faith in institutions, traditions and good governance has been violated. (We see this residual effect daily on this very board.)

    And so, the cycle turns again as the entrenched elite become complacent, essentially becoming disorganized, while the 3% get serious, finally moving past the denial/negotiation/anger stages to arrive at reality.

    • Woodchuck July 19, 2022 at 2:02 pm #

      There’s a completely different perspective on historical and current events, and that’s from the point of view of an old fashioned monarchist. In the West, we’ve all been taught history from the Jacobin point of view. French Revolution was good, Louis 14th was a terrible tyrant. Teaching or believing in monarchies rather than in republics – well – you are asking for difficulty in life if you do that. People will be offended and frightened by that perspective of history.

      Unfortunately, republics are short lived. Historical statisticians have come up with the figure of 250 years as the average lifespan of a republic on a graph of the past 3000 year timeline. If the USA is an average republic, we are bumping right up against our expiration date. The systems of democratic self government among humans has very bad basic design flaws. What’s happening right now might be normal during a republic’s last days.

      Anyone wishing to explore the history and stability of monarchies can find a very good blog on the subject by googling “mad monarchist”. The site owner can’t publish his real name or email address on his site due to the volume of hate mail he gets.

      • Anthea July 19, 2022 at 8:01 pm #

        All governments are basically rule by whichever group of armed thugs is able gain enough power to lick competing groups of armed thugs.

        Rule by monarchies and their attendant hierarchies of aristocracies seems to create more stable societies. I don’t know enough history to know if they are more politically stable.

        With republics and democracies, “equality” rests primarily on the ability of anyone and everyone to have an equal opportunity to access “the political means”–that is, everybody has an equal opportunity to ascend to the parasite/rentier class and thus avoid working for a living (“the economic means”).

        If you think about it, you can see how having everyone jostling everyone else to gain access to the “political means” and benefit from the machinery of state is inherently destabilizing.

        Instead of having one solidly entrenched group of armed thugs running things (an aristocracy), you have myriad groups of thugs in constant competition to gain control.

        Plus artistocratic regimes of “prestige” have almost always presented themselves as espousing traditional values and behaving in a way the the commoners would want to emulate. They were to some degree not allowed to be really trashy, but were expected to be more like Mr. D’Arcy in “Pride and Prejudice”–collecting the Elgin Marbles and having a sister who was a very accomplished pianist. You were supposed to be educated, cultured, refined, and highly accomplished in something or other. You don’t get that among the ruling class in republics. They are most often frankly the worst kind of ignorant, vulgar trash.

        • Woodchuck July 20, 2022 at 12:02 pm #

          Here’s something from the mad monarch’s blog under the menu choice “Myths”.

          “Republics bring progress, monarchies only oppressed.”

          Historical fact says otherwise. Time and time again history has shown that the end of monarchy makes things worse for a country, not better. In France it resulted in the “Reign of Terror” that saw tens of thousands of people get their heads chopped off. In Russia, the loss of the monarchy allowed the Bolsheviks to take power who then created the Soviet Union which spread oppression around the world and murdered millions of people. In China the result was a chaotic period of warlord rule followed by the bloodiest civil war in human history and then a communist dictatorship that took the lives of 60 million people. The end of monarchy in Germany and Austria resulted in divided republics that allowed Adolf Hitler to come to power, devastate the continent and butcher 9 million people…….”

          One great example of a successful, stable, and long lived monarchy is the House of Wittelsbach. This family ruled Bavaria for some 700 years or so, if I remember correctly. This family was much beloved by the Bavarians. The famed and fun Oktoberfest in Munich started as as huge outdoor party/festival in celebration of the marriage of a Wittelsbach prince or duke. They had an apparently secretly gay King Ludwig II on the throne for a while, a total artist, dreamer, music lover, and genius architect. His remains are in the family crypt under the Munich cathedral, and there are usually always fresh flowers and lit candles at his sarcophagus. Bavarians have not forgotten him. When I was there Ludwig’s tomb was the only one I saw among many others decorated like that.

        Ray Dalio posted chapters to his book [The Changing World Order – Dalio – linkedin] throughout the year 2020, and in the September chapter, he writes about transition periods in Chinese history, where there would be different factions vying for power to get to impose their vision of the format for the new game of life.

        I found it to be a detailed, thought provoking, assessment of the cycle of an empire.

        “This Big Cycle produces swings between 1) peaceful and prosperous periods of great creativity and productivity that raise living standards a lot and 2) depression, revolution, and war periods when there is a lot of fighting over wealth and power and a lot of destruction of wealth, life, and other things we cherish.”

        While I believe the world is at one of those transition periods, success for the masses is predicated on unity, and the US is in desperate need of leadership that can articulate the predicament and unite the population.

    Well, I enjoyed your critique of me.

    For the record, I have been an opponent of our government, the Deep State since 2008 when I read TLE the first time.

    Actually, when I was about 35, it was a real eye opener for me that the world was not an orderly, well run place, but a place run by numbskulls that have not a clue. The world does not thrive, it survives the idiot class.

    Everyone on the blog knows that I was hesitant to condemn the vaxx at first because of the lack of data. A group of MDs came out with ideas of what could happen, I wanted proof and it did not exist except in a group of opinions. I have used my knowledge of immune systems and wide open eyes and ears to determine a theory for myself about the s protein that condemns the vaxx and makes it imperative to try to avoid the crud itself. It is the worst case of medical overstep in history. For me and mine, no more.

    BTW, I read a description of the Novavax vaccine, the great savior from the mRNA series. I was shocked to find out the new protein antigen presented by vaccine is

    Ta da! The S protein installed on a nano particle. With my theory of was is going on, this is no game changer, just another fiasco.

    A slight piece of good news is that medical officialdom is starting to findalternatives to mRNA. They still have a very dangerous antigen in the s protein.

    If you have read my posts, you know what I think is going on in the world. I do feel that there is only one thing standing in the way of the Mob’s takeover of the Western World, that is the vote in the USA. If the demographics have shifted too much, it will make little difference. Or if it is now fixed through manipulation, it will make little difference. One way or the other, losing the veracity of the vote this year will place the Uniparty in control over the country. It will be time for the patriots to put up or shut up. Either leave the USA and create a sensible alternative, or just leave.

      Well, I would suggest that full realization means that all govt is suspect as a matter of principle. That is, you don’t have to wait for “facts”; rather the default is distrust.

      A year before the first vax, when the first mandates were being issued, all I kept saying is: doesn’t anybody remember viet nam or “war on terror” driven by dominoes and wmd, respectively?

      Or how the Fed was created on a midnight vote back before xmas, 1913? Or, remember the Maine? Or, the Zimmerman telegram (WW1)?

      Once you understand these and other critical turning points, you can see the handlers outside of the fishbowl. At that point, you don’t need to consider anything “true”, rather your first thought should be “why?”.

      Covid had many reasons, including getting rid of Trump. But of course the real reason was the empires first major action to address overshoot, depletion and degradation.

            You’ve come back to apologise but just can’t write the words “I was wrong”, can you?

    Hahahahahaha!

    The second favorite EV, behind Tesla, the Ford Mustang Mark E is on hold. No cars being built, none shipped and none sold. Every unit is going to be recalled and refit with a new contractor switch. The switch installed is underrated. It does one of two things, welds together, not being able to turn off the car, or freezes open out of the clear blue. The latter is really scary, imagine going down the highway and having your car just turn off.

    Good job, Ford.

    Bigger picture, these car manufacturers do not understand what they are trying to do. The old rule of not buying a new edition until it’s third year may be needed to be extended by three years with EVs.

    I have a hard time with running down I40 at 75 and having my car just quit.

    • mitchellc July 19, 2022 at 11:36 am #

      John, you just said you’ve moved beyond “news”, and yet here you are saying the car companies don’t “understand”.

      ???

      Do you seriously believe that thousands of engineers and management don’t understand physics 101? That somehow they forgot that petrol energy density is something on the order of 100x Li?

      It’s all a rear guard action to save some semblance of order. The DoE was created in 1977 during Carters administration; These guys all know the score.

      My suggestion is stop actively following the news. Rather, focus on overshoot, depletion and degradation. The news will still get through the heaviest filter, but by that time you will have trained your mind to automatically ask how it fits in the big 3.

      • JohnAZ July 19, 2022 at 2:39 pm #

        “Do you seriously believe that thousands of engineers and management don’t understand physics 101?”

        That is exactly what I believe. Management always makes decisions based on costs and will take risks to save a few bucks or meet a schedule.

        The worst case of this in my lifetime was the Challenger where pressure to fly at the management level negated warnings from engineers about low temperature effects on Orings in the solid boosters. The rest is history.

        In my engineering days, I saw blatant examples of specs cheating and lost a position once because I would not compromise on specs.

        So yes, companies cheat, short change take risks and release inferior products.

        Think of all the bugs that have been released by Microsoft over the years.

          Many years ago (I think this was in 81), the Hyatt Regency Hotel hosted a big gala of some of Kansas City’s most prominent citizens. 114 people were killed and 216 injured when two skywalks collapsed.

          According to Wikipedia, “The Hyatt had been built just a few years before, during a nationwide pattern of fast-tracked large construction with reduced oversight and major failures. Its roof had partially collapsed during construction, and the ill-conceived skywalk design progressively degraded due to a miscommunication loop of corporate neglect and irresponsibility. An investigation concluded that it would have failed even under one-third of the weight it held that night. Convicted of gross negligence, misconduct and unprofessional conduct, the engineering company lost its nationaI affiliation and all engineering licenses in four states, but was acquitted of criminal charges.”

          It was a HUGE scandal at the time.

          JohnAZ – surprised you neglected to mention Boeing (“If it’s Boeing I ain’t going”). Observers tried to pin the rap for the Max 800 debacle on the after-effects of the sinister merger with General Dynamics, resulting (the story goes) in critical engineering decisions being made by bean-counters, while max attention was paid to goosing share prices. At any price.

          The ill-advised fiddle with a tarted-up 737 ended up costing them somewhere in the range of fifty billion smackers. That loss can be made up, over time; withdrawal of trust in the aviation business is considerably harder to regain.

      Not to mention this little Congressional Hearing nugget from just this weekend regarding mining of the raw materials it takes to make these mega-batteries on a mass scale…note that this recent hearing was essentially blacklisted from all media…Catholic News Agency appears to be the only outlet to cover it (and I’d never heard of them before now, if that tells you anything):

      Want that new Rivian? Dozens of slave-labor kids will likely die to help create it. Kind of beats down the entire concept of EVs, and anyone who thinks they’re being benevolent and saving the world by participating in their use is blind…or doesn’t care. I’d like to presume it’s the former, but…

      • BackRowHeckler July 19, 2022 at 12:39 pm #

        Rivian is a dead (company) walking. In the first place, they aren’t selling trucks — seen any around? Secondly, it takes about $110,000 worth of labor and material to make a Rivian, but the price per unit (for a sh#tbox, golf cart model) is $83,550 — a $26,000 loss for every sale.

        Yes, there is the required $15,500 proprietary subscription over 5 years, but that might be a money loser too.

        And I doubt if that many Rivians will be sold at $110,000, or at $83,500. Actially, I’m starting to think the whole Rivian enterprise is a Nikola like pump and dump stock scam.

        • benr July 21, 2022 at 2:21 pm #

          I have seen five total rivians driving down the road or parked.

          Only aspect I can attest to is they haul ass.

            I don’t know Mango, in my experience women love diamonds. ‘Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend’ ain’t just the name of a Marilyn Monroe/Jane Russel movie; its the actual truth. They like gold jewelry too.

And before you start in with “just wait”, we’ve been married for almost nine years now and have a five year old boy. Diamonds can suck maboolz.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    The hits just keep on coming;

    ENERGY: The Texas power grid faces more uncertainty as another week of triple-digit temperatures impact much of the state. In order to meet surging demands, ERCOT is relying on Reliability Unit Commitments, where power plants and generators are ordered to continue operations, skipping scheduled preventative maintenance cycles and ignoring shutdowns for economic factors. While this can prevent the service from having to declare grid emergencies, ERCOT has utilized more than 2890 hours of RUCs in the first half of this year, three times as many used during the first half of 2021, and more than ten times as many as were utilized throughout the entirety of 2020. (AC: Delays in preventative maintenance cycles increase the risk of catastrophic failures that damage aging facilities and cause widespread uncontrolled power outages requiring extensive repairs. These repairs come with potentially long timelines as experts have warned of insufficient supplies of equipment and parts needed to repair parts of the electrical grid

    “ERCOT has utilized more than 2890 hours of RUCs in the first half of this year, three times as many used during the first half of 2021, and more than ten times as many as were utilized throughout the entirety of 2020″

    ” more than ten times as many as were utilized throughout the entirety of 2020…”

    What could possibly go wrong?
    “…”

    • mitchellc July 19, 2022 at 11:50 am #

      It was always going to “go wrong”. The hills of Palestine, Turkey and Greece were forested. Where did all the trees go (along with their empires)?

      WW1 was about colonial control of the worlds resources, which is why Basra was fought in Nov, 1914. We got “lucky” with spindletop, then ghawar to keep our “modern” life going.

      But everyone knew with hubbert in the 50s that a specific end point could be identified: the 2020s. EV is just a transitional con until the full reveal is made.

      As the WEF has clearly outlined, small footprint, shared/mass transit, limited consumption are the end goals, but they have to be slowly phased in.

      The surprise is yet to be presented when the people find out there aren’t any “solutions”. That’s when drugs, alcohol and VR are offered, almost like condemned US
      prisoners are given a sedative before execution.

      In Texas, of all places.

      I have this book, written by Fredrick Law Olmsted, about a walking tour he took thru Texas with his brother in the early 1850s. He describes the unrelenting summer heat, heat that he never thought possible. Yes, even in the 1850s summers were hot in Texas.

      (A relative of mine owned a house Fred Law Olmsted lived in as a young man. We searched for anything he may have left behind, but to no avail. He did apply for a historical plaque from the National Register of Historic Places, but ultimately was turned down.Apparently a bunch of them had already been issued in Olmsteds name.)

        That’s why not many people lived in Texas until air conditioning.

          Anything Missouri on south was brutal before AC. Hell, MN gets the worst of both ends too…-10 in the winter for weeks each winter and 100+ for a week or so each summer.

          Having just visited southern MO on the old family farm (which now has central air, thank God), I was reminded of why we only visited my grandparents there in fall and winter when I was a kid. In July you couldn’t even touch the door handle of a car parked outdoors without at least a little singe.

          How they built that house by hand over a couple years back in the 50’s is a sweaty mystery to me. Props to grandpa. Different breed.

          • Paula D July 20, 2022 at 1:26 pm #

            I live in So Illinois which is the same thing. I didn’t have air conditioning until 8 years ago. It was brutal, especially in 2012 when the temperature was over 100 degrees for 10 days straight.
            It killed all the corn fields for miles around. I thought we were all going to starve. Acres and acres of dead corn for miles.
            It got so hot in the house every day by 3pm that I would go outside and sit under a tree, braving ticks, mosquitoes and chiggers rather than swelter in the house. At night I opened windows and turned on fans, to get it down to the 80s inside.
            I really, really appreciate the air conditioning I have now. I’ll be sorry to see it go.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder July 20, 2022 at 8:33 pm #

            Paula – I’m still nursing chigger bites on my ankles from nearly a month ago. Those little bastards know how to put on a show. I was even wearing jeans and long socks when we went down into the woods to the pond to fish…but they got me anyhow. My mom was wearing sandals, and she came out fine. She told me that the chiggers never liked her or grandpa…only grandma. And me.

          • Minnie Van Horne July 21, 2022 at 12:26 am #

            Mister Mango, you may want to try this for your chigger bites.

            Just get some simple white vinegar and mix it with water in a 50/50 or 60/40 concentration and rub some of this on the affected area. Keep the liquid on hand so you can reapply from time to time throughout the day. With any luck, it will soothe the itching right away and clear up the condition in a few days. I have used this for a variety of bug bites and rashes, and it always seems to work.

          • Anthea July 21, 2022 at 11:18 am #

            @ MrMangoOnMyShoulder:

            Some tricks to avoid/treat chigger bites:

            Patchouli essential oil is a good insect and mosquito repellent. It works well to repel chiggers. You can use it full strength, but I prefer to mix it 50/50 with cyclomethicone in a spray bottle. (You can get cyclomethicone from a company called Lotioncrafter and use it to make perfumes from essential oils.)

            Second, when you are done with the gardening or fishing or whatever, run your hands over your legs as if you were pushing off water. Same with your arms. Chiggers are not able to cling to the body and are easily pushed off that way.

            One good treatment for chigger bites and other itches is some kind of jewelweed preparation. It’s considered the go-to for poison ivy. IMHO, the best jewelweed preparation is to simply infuse it in vinegar. You have to use fresh jewelweed to make a jewelweed preparation. You may be able to find someone at your local farmers’ market who sells jewelweed preparations. (There is a lady at our farmers’ market who does.)

            I also like Minnie Van Horne’s suggestion of just using dilluted vinegar.

            It seems like a lot of things are soothing to itchy skin. I think floral waters work pretty well. Witch hazel is said to be good. Best to use alcohol-free witch hazel. (I don’t hold with putting alcohol on skin.)

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder July 21, 2022 at 11:18 am #

            Minnie – Amazing how vinegar does just about everything.

            They’re not bad anymore (I hadn’t felt the urge to scratch for almost two weeks and then did the other night), but I am always amazed at how long chigger bites take to officially go away.

            If the urge hits again, vinegar solution it is.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder July 21, 2022 at 11:52 am #

            Anthea – Thanks for the suggestions. I think I’m out of the weeds (pun intended) as I’ve been back in MN for a few weeks, and there are no chiggers up here to re-offend. But next time I go down to the farm, I’ll come packin’ (in different ways than usual).

          • Paula D July 21, 2022 at 7:21 pm #

            I’m itching from chiggers right now. I will definitely try the vinegar thing.

        • Amman July 21, 2022 at 3:58 pm #

          You see, with many Christians it’s tough to give up this old world. We sing about how we can’t wait to get to heaven and what a wondrous time it will be – but when it comes time to go we backpedal as fast as we can and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in the “healthcare system” in desperate attempts to stay here just a few months/years more. Or we dream up delusional garbage like becoming immortal by living in some virtual electronic paradise in the cloud somewhere. Transexuality? How about transhumanity?

            The Last Rose of Summer
            Thomas Moore – 1779-1852

            ‘Tis the last rose of Summer,
            Left blooming alone;
            All her lovely companions
            Are faded and gone;
            No flower of her kindred,
            No rose-bud is nigh,
            To reflect back her blushes
            Or give sigh for sigh!

            I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one,
            To pine on the stem;
            Since the lovely are sleeping,
            Go sleep thou with them.
            Thus kindly I scatter
            Thy leaves o’er the bed
            Where thy mates of the garden
            Lie scentless and dead.

            So soon may I follow,
            When friendships decay,
            And from Love’s shining circle
            The gems drop away!
            When true hearts lie withered,

            I wish I knew what He’s doing (or maybe knowing would be worse). For those who don’t make the grade, not through particular evil, but through genuine and not malicious lack of the ability to believe, why can’t He just dispense the requisite punishment, then mercifully snuff them out? Endless torture of your own creation just doesn’t fit with any vision of a loving God. And my lovely kid brother doing the same time as Bill Gates doesn’t fit with any idea of justice.

            My children did not stick with religious faith, despite me taking them to church every week. If they are headed for endless torture, then my whole life has been lived, not even for nothing, but only to the ultimate negative end of creating and then delivering to eternal torture the two people I love most. If that is the case, then it would be better that none of us had lived – and if I had my time to live over, I would not have had children at all (that would be my choice in our present earthly circumstances too).

            What about the young atheist or agnostic girl who is raped and murdered? Her ‘justice’ is to join her murderer in Hell?

            I don’t claim to ‘know’ anything, but some things I will never have an answer to.

            @ GreenAlba:

            “For those who don’t make the grade, not through particular evil, but through genuine and not malicious lack of the ability to believe….”

            “Belief” or “faith”–and even “God”–are poorly defined words. IMHO, these words mean that a person has chosen, as well as they can in their particular circumstances, what is good over what is evil. They value goodness and love, life and beauty, honesty, fecundity, generosity, justice, etc., even if they are lacking in discernment in these matters. There are a lot of reasons why they might lack discernment. One of them is a poor upbringing where they received no guidance or were even taught or encouraged into thinking and doing evil. Or they may have lived in a society like our own that bombarded them with teachings and encouragement to do think and do evil, or they may have had relatives or spouses who inflluenced them that way. Maybe their lives were in many ways tragic and they became embittered.

            All the above are tests, in a sense, but I don’t think a person is damned for failing these tests, especially if they are contrite and realize that they have been in error. I think people are sometimes given tests that are too hard for them, in which case I think their failure is intended to furnish them with insight.

            For a person to really go to hell eternally would require a very settled decision to despise all that is good, and a firm resolve to work against it. It would take some real, all-encompassing hatred.

            I think most people–in fact almost everyone–reincarnates. Some (I think Edgar Cayce was one) say that people reincarnate in a particular group of people over many lifetimes, so they spend a lot of time working with these relationships. I think a person often has some rather bad people in his/her life because they have accepted a mission to shed grace on that particular person–perhaps recover a “lost sheep” or turn someone around who has gone badly wrong. People often do this at great personal sacrifice. Sometimes it makes them kind of pissy.

            Also, I don’t think “eternal” means what people think it means. I think it probably just refers to a long cycle of time.

    ‘The Last Days of Joe Biden’ would make a catchy title for a book, like ‘The Last Words of Dutch Schultz’, by William S Burroughs. Dutch was taken out one night by Lucky Luciano’s crew in the Palace Chop House & Tavern, Newark, NJ. Bugsy Siegel was in on the hit, a move to prevent Dutch himself from assassinating NY DA Tom Dewey. They didn’t f#kk around back in those days.

    Alas, Schultz’s last words were nothing but gibberish as he was shot up pretty bad, which was a disappointment because it was rumored he had a large amount of treasure buried at an undisclosed location in NY State, and it was hoped he would reveal where it was. Some people are still searching for that treasure.

      CB 81 in an above post you mention the declining value of precious metals. What’s the cause of it? Usually it’s a strong dollar, but how strong is the dollar right now? There’s a lot I don’t understand about macro economics.

      • cowbell81 July 19, 2022 at 4:14 pm #

        I honestly think the downward trend in metal prices is because the economy is finally catching up with the reality of things and contracting. This is the same reason we are seeing a slight dip in the price of gasoline. Consumer and manufacturing habits have changed enough that the world has finally caught up with the slow down in the economy, thereby causing prices of these commodities to fall.

        This is akin to what we saw at the outset of the pandemic, although on a much softer scale. One may recall that in early 2020 silver prices were down to like $6 or $7, I filled my car up with gasoline that cost 96 CENTS a gallon. There is definitely some contraction going on and changes in the consumer and manufacturing marketplace. This is the root cause of these price dips. Only question is how low will things go before it bottoms out, and who will this all benefit in the end?

        • stelmosfire July 19, 2022 at 4:45 pm #

          96 cents? The lowest it got around here was about $1.35 and that was short lived. Today, about $4.60

          • cowbell81 July 19, 2022 at 4:54 pm #

            Yes, I kid you not, I clearly recall filling up for less than a dollar. I could hardly believe it and knew I would never live to see the day again.

            Islander, when I was living in Japan, where it is traditionally considered impolite to leave even one grain of rice in your bowl, I was accustomed to Asian parsimony. Very steep electricity, gas and fuel prices encourage that as well.

            Returning to visit my sister and her husband in a nice suburb of Dallas, I learned that when he went off to work for Austin Bridge Company and she left for Texas Instruments, they left the central air-conditioning on all day long, in an empty three-bedroom home, so that when they returned in the early evening the house would be fresh and cool.

            I said nothing about this to anyone – it was a norm of the time – but was deeply amazed at such extravagance of a middle-class lifestyle. Back then (1970s) it seemed like it would go on forever.

        Gold and silver have really taken a nosedive in the past couple of months. You would think, what with inflation being so high and there being every indication that it will continue and get worse, that people would be buying gold and silver as a hedge. (I think they probably are.)

        What you have to remember is that gold and silver prices are heavily manipulated by the paper-gold (and silver markets). In other words, there are people out there selling paper gold rather than physical gold, and they can and do print as much paper gold as they want–probably with no physical gold to back it. Want to drive down the price of gold? You can effectively create an infinite supply of paper gold.

        Anyway, that’s one reason. The other is that, when stock prices drop, a lot of people have to sell assets to cover margin calls. There are a lot of people out there who are buying stock on margin (borrowed money). They get hammered when interest rates go up and/or stocks go down. As we all know, the stock market has plummeted lately.

        The stock market recently went back up on the rumor that Russia is planning to turn on the gas again, but everyone over at ZeroHedge thinks this is a “pump and dump,” noting that this appears to be just a rumor put out by the usual suspects. I think they’re right. I’d say, if you dabble in this kind of thing, you should sell while the market is high. The reason it’s being pumped is to allow insiders to exit without loosing their asses.

        It is a little puzzling why those who are manipulating gold are choosing to crash the price so much. Maybe they are doing this so they can pick up physical at bargain prices. I wish I could afford to buy gold and silver right now.

          There’s more on gold/silver price manipulation from ZeroHedge today, though I can’t post a link. The headline is JPMorgan Gold-Spoofer Admits “It was open strategy on the desk.”

          Their whole precious metals desk was manipulating gold prices up or down to benefit specific clients.

          Trunz said he and others at JPMorgan routinely placed large orders in gold and silver that they never intended to execute to push prices up or down. “These trades were the exact trading pattern we’d used for years.”

          I did the English-language copy for an annual report of a mining firm here, and suggested the headline they used for the cover: “Seven Tons of Gold”. That was the annual yield for 2015.

          • TPTB-USA July 22, 2022 at 1:02 am #

            Assuming extremely rich ore, that might amount to 15 thousand tons of gold. I suspect the lender could have (and possibly is having) a field day with that news.

            Is it a head scratcher for the silver/gold arb. boys, or do they just adjust and pick the rube’s pockets?

    Recently reported on spiritdaily. An excorcist got the demon talking, and it seemed terrified so he applied pressure.
    The demon said the big fiery guy is pissed because his time is short. This is not news so the priest pressed further.
    Now demons are notorious liars but in the end he gave up this, that it would be ‘over’ in September. No mention of a year, but it makes sense to me that september could be the warning.
    After all, we are in the midst of the mini persecution, as any of you spouting truth well know. So, should time stop for a few minutes, and you see the state of your soul by the light of God, while lights from the wounds of the crucified Christ shine down on you through absolute darkness, you have 6 weeks to change. Then comes the major persecution, like nothing ever witnessed on earth. But it is short, 3.5 years.

    An apparition of the bv Mary said, those who are afraid of what comes are not united with God, they have not changed.

    I am ttterrified.

    Another locution I believe, found on afterthewarningdotcom, mentioned the people of God will migrate to South America to avoid the war. But she didn’t say south America, I think she said central.

      @ anmariwakaranai:

      I appreciate your posts and links on these matters, even though I’m a little skeptical about random visionaries. I don’t see how anyone who has looked into the Fatima apparitions and prophecies can doubt them. It’s a llittle frustrating that the prophecies proceed no further than the conversion of Russia through the prayers of the faithful and conformity to Our Lady’s requests. Maybe this is because the conversion of Russia was conditional. (Big fork in the road; things could go either way. Plus many people feel that the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart was not properly done, and the outcome of doing this in a weasely way might be imperfect. There was a notable–and shameful–lack of conviction there.)

      One thing that is apparent is that humanity has never lived through times like these before–that is through times of concerted, world-wide Satanic attacks.

      There have always been rulers who were evil or whose oppression and cruelty to their own people was extreme. We’ve had rulers who practiced all kinds of sexual perversions. We’ve even had rulers who genocided their own people, but these things have always before been localized. Even if the upper classes in ancient Rome were perverted and insane, few people outside Rome were affected by it, and most of the world didn’t even know about it. Nor were the ancient Roman rulers on a mission convince–or even force–their own people to be perverted and insane.

      Jesus came to us during this period of localized insanity, though in what was essentially a provincial backwater. So maybe the present state of the world is an indication that it is time for him to return.

        There’s a lot in Fatima that is not widely known. Lucias book published a few years before her death is mainly a guide for how to live your life in God. Her prose was so mind alteringly pedantic that I didn’t get through it.
        Ukraine was mentioned in relation to the Fatima prophesies as discussed here by Jarek et al. And she , Our Lady said , “Poor Canada.”
        She said Portugal would never lose the faith.

        At Medjugorje Our Lady said or maybe one of the Franciscans, that It was a continuation of Fatima.

        I looked up Central America to see if I could get there and live there. It stretches from Mexico stopping at Columbia. Better get on that passeport.

        I don’t think this is the PHYSICAL return of Christ,, I think he’ll live in our hearts after the warning if we let him.

        Mare, they are all pretty similar, but seem to be escalating in severity of warning.

        • Anthea July 21, 2022 at 1:29 pm #

          I’ve always been on the fence about Medjugorje. It’s pretty weak sauce for “a continuation of Fatima.”

    Upstream Night posted a Naomi Wolfe link. Here is a reply ro it by ….

    Dr Mike Yeadon
    Jul 17
    Liked by Dr Naomi Wolf
    This is super detective work by Naomi.

    But this is the “wet work” side of the warfare being waged against – at least – all of the world’s’ democracies.

    The PsyOps are equally important, without which they’d have got nowhere near several billion nostrils & arms.

    There’s no question in my mind that the capabilities of the “Five Eyes” have been fully engaged from the beginning. The covert services of US, UK, AUS, NZ, CAN, who’ve worked together seamlessly for decades, as much to surveil their own populations as that of foreign potential adversaries.

    Big intel, media, finance, pharma, tech: all are fully engaged, necessarily, to entrap, test, inject & record billions of people.

    So, yes, we’re at war alright. It’s just it’s not only China that are the aggressors. It’s our own people in various capacities, they’re busily engaged in attempting to turn off the light of liberty everywhere, probably in most cases for mere money. Few know what the endgame is.

    I regret to say that I think I do know. I’m helped in this work by recognising the dark side of the very industry I spent an entire career in.

    At minimum, the goals are totalitarian control vis mandatory digital ID & cashless digital money.

    I think it’s very likely indeed that this totalitarian control will be used to kill the majority of the human population.

    It’s no use pointing at countries. Sure, China’s role is very important. But the self appointed elites everywhere are behind this war. We’re all in the cross hairs. We don’t have long.

      Did you guys read this detailed stuff on the plans for Sovereign, Common, Restricted and Quarantined classes that someone posted in the Comments?

      oculumlabs.com/interview-with-gideon-csrq-sm/

      oculumlabs.com/interview-with-gideon-part-2-financial-reset/

      oculumlabs.com/the-sovereign-accounts-of-the-rich-and-powerful-exposed/

      The third one cites individuals whose accounts (yes we all have an account) are currently classed as ‘Sovereigns’ under the post-crash system. They include, Trump, de Santis, Carlson and most significant media people and pols, including alternative media. Although they mention that there have been no money flows into the accounts of Trump and de Santis, so it’s possible that some Sovereigns don’t yet know they will be Sovereigns. In one of the first two links they quote the criteria. I’d have to check back but it may have been that anyone with $1 million is classed as Sovereign (perhaps we have a few lucky Sovereigns on CFN!). Sovereigns don’t have any restrictions and don’t need to be vaxxed. Commons are the ones who get the $1000 a month and the jabs. The final test of character for those who will be Sovereigns but don’t know yet will be whether, when they find out, they will tell the public or just think ‘whew!’ and play their role.

      Their algorithms apparently tell them that most resistants will comply by the second month, eat bug food and do what they’re told. They are allowing for 1-2% to choose to starve themselves to death rather than comply, and provisions have been made for disposal of their bodies. DARPA’s bird-sized and bee-sized drones will deal with vaxxing the holdouts (who, with their first refusal to comply, will have had their services, including water and sewerage, disconnected – presumably they will empty your food hoards while they’re at it), and it appears they have a particular intention to get their nano-technology inside the resistants, just for the satisfaction of seeing them brought under control.

      Interesting mention of the pointlessness of using VPNs. They don’t only have our pictures, they have an AI-acquired picture of our writing styles. And the first $25 fine will be for when you discover the $1000 in your bank account (whether you had $5 of $500,000 there before) and log into CFN to speak about it.

      I think I heard Dr Sam White mention the ‘white hats’ (good hackers) in an interview yesterday, but I didn’t realise what he was referring to.

For example, right now I’m thawing out a few rib eye steaks to go along with trout I caught yesterday in the river, a little surf & turf on the grill — with a six of iced Sam Adams. Anybody who showed up and tried to force us to eat insects might end up eating a little lead.

You can’t shoot a bee-sized DARPA drone, brh, when it comes in through your open window and waits patiently on top of the wardrobe. (Did you not see Eye in the Sky? Those were only observational drones.)

          Not to mention there are even nano-drones that can buzz silently up your nose with their payload. And there isn’t a square centimetre of the earth not covered by their satellites.

            The states cant manage their own land and the gov believes nothing that is actually true.

            The best part about all the ‘plans’ being made is that must rural folk will be the least affected.

        I think the $1M threshold in an account scenario is a bit simplistic. First of all, because the threshold will likely be much higher than that (I would think more like 10 or even 100 million in today’s depreciated dollars), and second, due to the way that people of such means stash their money, very few if any just leave $1M sitting idly in a checking account. But I get the concept, just that the means for identifying “Sovereigns” will likely be quite a bit more sophisticated than that.

        • GreenAlba July 20, 2022 at 10:35 am #

          I’m sure it probably will be, Disaffected – it may even include hard assets. And it is a matter of minutes to change the algorithm as and when they need to. Also, there would appear to be a manual override, because the people discussing the accounts are able to change people’s status on the system (a bit like a Schindler’s List operation) from the inside – they are both Sovereigns.

          Anyway, I don’t have any options like somewhere to grow food or dig a well, so I hope I will have the courage to be in the 1-2% who will say thanks but no thanks and be gone within a week or so. Actually I hope it will be in the dead of winter, as hypothermia is a relatively kind demise, since you actually start to feel too warm!

          Sadly, I think my kids will comply and accept the stuff they don’t know is in the jabs – they’ve already taken 2 doses. That is far more of a horror to me than if they just dropped dead.

    I’m not sure the Nanos will work, primarily because they would have already been effectively deployed in Russia.

    If anyone recalls, I brought this up a few months ago. I was suspicious of apparent US (over) confidence, and wondered if advanced weapons were to be used to incapacitate ICBM command & control.

    If we can’t defeat Russia, then the elite will have a two front war on their hands – foreign & domestic. Note also that in civil wars, families become targets as well. Someone has to operate, maintain and stage – and they all have parents, children, etc

    Lastly, $1m equity seems very low. There are 10s of millions real estate owners that would qualify.

    Honestly, i think it’s a clever bit of reverse psyops. Take WEF public statements, well know common sense resource constraints, and general knowledge of DARPA programs, and combine them into a “leaked” TS report.

    Hey, whatever it takes to get the publics attention. Ultimately, I’m still waiting to see if the MAGA wing can control the House (with maybe Trump as Speaker).

    All they would have to do is simply not authorize any budget or so called continued spending resolution. Shut it all down, including CIA, FBI, et al.

    • GreenAlba July 20, 2022 at 11:10 am #

      That it might be a reverse psyops did occur to me, as TPTB must know this stuff is getting out. They may not care, of course – they seem to like laughing at us. I don’t know, basically.

      The people in the exchange roughly estimated that there would be multiple millions of ‘Sovereigns’ – I can’t remember the number of zeros as I read it quite quickly and need to read it properly.

    WHITE HOUSE: President Biden will deliver a speech on climate change this afternoon, although he is widely expected to hold off on declaring a climate emergency. As we reported yesterday, the Biden administration continues to consider declaring a “climate emergency,” which the White House says would give the administration powers to ban crude oil exports, redirect federal funding towards renewable energy, phase out existing oil and gas leases, and cut back on new ones.

    “Climate emergency”…Yeah, Apparently gas prices are not nearly high enough to lessen energy demand…

    “Homo sapiens seems to differ from all the other mammals in that periodically we deliberately kill vast numbers of our own species.”

    You may wish to consider that we are not mammals in any true sense. Perhaps our origin is not totally traceable to this orb we live on? I always wondered what the breath of life was/is. At face value it would appear to be a very simple concept. But in reality is it possible that it is a reference to a speck of DNA that is not of a terrestrial origin?

    • Disaffected July 20, 2022 at 12:14 pm #

        I think ants also commit genocides. Though they are not mammals. I have also heard that it has been proven that whales kill for enjoyment or sport sometimes. I believe this is what results in the term “killer whales”. But yes, humans appear to have some very unique characteristics. Maybe that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. But I just find it an interesting factoid in light of the fact that some religious traditions uphold humans as uniquely different and separate from all other living things. And so what exactly causes that difference or differences?

        • Disaffected July 20, 2022 at 1:24 pm #

            I suppose most species will kill even members of their own species when competing for territory and resources, especially in times of scarcity. Wolves and other predators compete for territory and will kill to defend it.

            Humans are probably just more highly organized and efficient about it.

            As far as I know, no other species keeps livestock–except for ants, who are said to have a kind of symbiotic relationship with aphids.

            Among humans, the most valuable livestock is other humans, so the relationship between the ruling classes and the masses is one of livestock management. Some common features of livestock management are culling and selective breeding.

            I could also see how competing rulers might choose to defeat their enemies by destroying the human livestock that is their chief resource.

    Anglin

    Yesterday, I posted Tucker Carlson’s speech and interview at an evangelical event in Iowa, and noted that the media is now claiming he might run in 2024. I hadn’t watched the videos at the time.

    I now have watched them, and though he was effectively presenting a political platform, I do not think he is planning to run in 2024.

    As far as the speech – it was mostly attacks on the Republican Party. There is a lot of stuff in there that he got from… somewhere… stuff that I agree with a lot. A long rant about how ugly strip malls are, and how this is an abomination before God, is something I really wish Christian groups would do more.

    And, you know, I agree with him on a lot; everyone on the right agrees with him on a lot. The stuff about family being the center of human existence is the underlying item of importance, above all else.

    That said, Tucker has wrapped a lot of this stuff that I love around what appears to be a core ideology that I’m really just not a huge fan of. I realized that more watching these two videos than I think I ever had before. And it’s mostly about the race stuff. I don’t think that any of this politics stuff is going to work if we don’t first acknowledge fundamental racial differences, and then declare, positively, that white people are the core population of America, and that whiteness has to define our country.

    “A colorblind meritocracy” is not something that anyone can rally around. It’s not something that anyone is going to die for. And there is nothing metaphysical, spiritual, or really even meaningful about it. This is not a philosophical doctrine, it’s an economic and legalistic doctrine. So much of what he is saying is philosophical and metaphysical, but then the bottom line is some stupid economic policy?

    This isn’t really even coherent. How can you reject libertarian concepts of utilitarianism and then say the bottom line is “colorblind meritocracy” – a libertarian utilitarian concept?

    He says all this stuff about how he doesn’t care if people call him a racist and he despises cowards who are afraid of being called racists, but why would he draw the underlying point of “colorblind meritocracy” unless he was afraid of being called a racist?

    We have an ancient Western tradition, and part of that is our ethnic heritage. There’s nothing wrong or evil about saying that. It doesn’t mean you want to kill other people. It means that you believe there is spiritual meaning to the blood, to the shared blood, and to the history of the blood. There is no nation that survived for very long without a fundamental basis in shared genetics.

    That doesn’t mean that every single nonwhite person has to be kicked out of America, or that America won’t remain “pluralistic,” but it does mean that as a nation, we are white Europeans, that this is fundamental to our identity, and that for America to continue to exist, that has to be acknowledged, and we have to preserve it.

    Colorblind meritocracy is also just stupid, because you’re basically saying “we’re just going to completely exclude blacks” in a way that I don’t even think is fair to black people. I mean, we have these blacks in our country, we’re going to have to do something with them, and they definitely do not have a place in a colorblind meritocracy, because they have very little merit. It seems like it would be much better for the blacks to just say “this is a white country, but you guys live here too, we’re going to try to figure something out for you.”

    They’re already calling him a white supremacist, so saying “this country needs to have a core ethnic identity” is not going to result in him being called a double white supremacist. It’s definitely not going to offend any of his followers.

    As a smaller criticism, I was also disappointed that Tucker said nice things about Ron DeSantis, who is the enemy. People don’t know he’s the enemy yet. But I know it and he should know it by now. He’s a lot more connected than I am (I hope).

    I like that Tucker said he has become more spiritual, and looks at the left as a force of evil. That’s new and it’s getting closer to the truth.

    During the interview after the speech, he was asked whether he’ll be running in 2024. I think everyone kind of assumed that was why he was there. He didn’t deny it outright, and instead made a joke. But this seems to be a kind of trial run for something that could happen in 2028 rather than 2024.

    As I’ve said, I would support him over Trump, but he’s the only person I would support over Trump. I’m definitely not supporting Ron DeSantis, who is surrounded by the worst people on earth and is being shilled by #NeverTrump media.

    I don’t want to attack Tucker, but what I would ask him is if “colorblind meritocracy” is actually something you can form a society around. Is this a philosophical or spiritual doctrine, or is it a libertarian economic doctrine that is already illegal under the Civil Rights Act anyway?

    I think the two videos are worth a watch, and you should draw your own conclusions. I would say there is definitely a lot more good than bad there, and more good than any other person in politics, but we should acknowledge that his development over the last 3 or 4 years, as he’s tried to formulate a clear political doctrine, has kind of stagnated and has pretty serious flaws.

    Jarek: As usual Anglin hits it right on the nose. Tucker likes White people, but is afraid of being called a racist and cancelled – like his main writer who WAS a White Nationalist. So Tucker knows the unspeakable Truth.

    Anyone know what Anglin means when he says De Santis is the enemy? This is the first time he’s talked about this. Who are the evil ones surrounding him?

    The only ones who speak the whole Truth are Nick Fuentes and the Gropyers: America is White. Period. And “We are going to drag the Republican Party into the Catholic Church and baptize it by force.

    • SoftStarLight July 20, 2022 at 12:37 pm #

      I’m also very curious about Anglin’s disapproval of DeSantis. I thought DeSantis was an awesome candidate but once I saw what Anglin said I have hesitated on that since. He had actually mentioned in a previous article a bit ago that he was going to come out as anti-DeSantis but didn’t go into any detail. So I looked up some things on DeSantis and I do see that he is being backed by at least 40 billionaires. I can’t find much info on most them because of pay walls but I do see that one is a Koch person, and one is Betsy DeVos and others are tied to Wall Street firms like Citadel. So perhaps he will be beholden to these backers who most likely would try to stop anything he would do to really go against the system, since they are embedded in the system?

      I also agree in regards to Tucker. I wish Tucker would just come out as a white nationalist. He is already accused of being one on a daily basis. So why not just embrace it and build upon what he really believes. No one in his audience would be surprised and most will embrace it and tune in even more. Actually I think Tucker’s audience would really start growing. Maybe then people would demand he run for President.

      • Jarek July 20, 2022 at 12:55 pm #

        Thanks, I hadn’t seen that reference and had no idea. Bad news indeed.

        Tucker is their number one star and Fox has gone to bat for him. But coming out? He’d be White History in a heartbeat just like his writer, whom he had to disavow though I’m sure he knew of his viewpoints and shares them, at least to some degree.

        It’s a farce but that’s how the game is played. He knows and they know he knows, but the regular viewers don’t know and don’t know that he knows.

        Boomers–and especially their parents–have been much healthier throughout their lifetimes that the younger generations, though the boomers may not be in very good shape in their old age. The “Greatest Generation”–the boomers’ parents–were incredibly healthy and vigorous. I’m a boomer myself, and I remember that bunch. They built houses without power tools and dug the foundations with a shovel. My dad dug the basement to our house with a shovel. People used to dig ponds and wells with a shovel. They worked in factories without AC and worked in the fields all day in horrendous heat, doing jobs like bucking hay. One of my uncles built a log cabin when he was 80. No one in that generation was overweight, except in very advanced old age.

        Most of the deterioration in the younger generation’s health is the result of nutrient-poor processed food and high sugar intake. Poor agricultural practices have resulted in badly depleted soils, which in turn bear nutrient-depleted crops. Meat comes from malnourished and sickly livestock fattened with hormones and kept from straight-up dying (of poor diet and filthy conditions) with antibiotics and vaccinations.

        • Woodchuck July 21, 2022 at 12:00 pm #

          The car culture in the USA is doomed, and better health will be had by all after its collapse.

          Many years ago in the summer of ’55 I had the pleasure as a small child of being able to bicycle around on my own with no adult supervision in a suburb of one of Germany’s largest cities. There was still a partially filled bomb crater at the end of the street, and people everywhere were traveling about mostly on bicycles, mopeds, and small motorcycles. This is how they went shopping. My brand new bicycle had wire baskets attached to it for hauling stuff. For me it was one of the happiest and best times of my life. I was six and could make my own decisions as to what direction to point my wheels. I could ride 1/2 mile away to a real medieval castle and spectacular church that was open to the public. Also a convent there and I’d see nuns outside in their black robes doing manual field labor.

          The claim can be made that this “nocar” culture I enjoyed was a near direct result of the mad dictator’s decision to attack Russia in ’41. It seems that our leaders here in the USA wish to repeat this. Our current war with the Russians will ultimately put ALL of us back on bicycles and small motorbikes that can get over 100 miles per gallon. Your grandchildren and great grandchildren might thank you. But odds are your sons and daughters will come looking for you to kick your ass and try and steal your assets. How could we have done this to them – screwed things up so badly that they were forced to park their automobiles? The horror!

          • Night Owl July 21, 2022 at 12:12 pm #

            Assuming you are posting a genuine opinion: I would much prefer what I currently have in Germany, which is the ability to ride my bike most places for recreation and for errands (and I do), and the ability to hop in the M340i and blast down an autobahn or Landstraße to get a to a destination that I could never get to with my bicycle.

            The idea that car culture needs to go is one of the silliest I have heard in quite some time. The freedom that the automobile has afforded the average individual is IMO immeasurable.

            Most of my most memorable trips have involved the use of a car to get there. And driving isn’t just convenient and sometimes absolutely necessary, it’s quite enjoyable.

          • Woodchuck July 21, 2022 at 12:27 pm #

            Night Owl……the loss of car culture in Europe will primarily only affect people’s hobby and recreational time. In the USA we are far more dependent on cars, and here we will likely have a lot of deaths associated with loss of the car culture. It’s like JHK writes about it having been a good idea at the time. For most in America, what we did instead was walk into a deadly trap of dependency. When the rest of the world observes what happens when a civilization based on autos – collapses – they might be changing their minds on the direction they are going regarding car usage.

          • Night Owl July 21, 2022 at 4:21 pm #

            Wood, I am American, but I live in Europe.

            The loss of private cars would be a massive problem here as well.

            European city dwellers may not need cars all of the time, but outside of the bigger cities, going carless is pretty tough, and in many places it is impossible.

          Anthea: Men shouldn’t be allowed access to their own children.

          • Anthea July 21, 2022 at 6:15 pm #

            Most of them shouldn’t, particularly in cases of divorce. I think a lot of women divorce less because the husband’s behavior is injurious to themselves than because they see the harm he is doing to the children.

            There are exceptions, of course. As I’ve said before, men are like blacks. There are many good, decent black people. The problem is, too many of them are not. So, if you are wise, you avoid associating with them, don’t live in heavily black neighborhoods–and definitely don’t allow them around your kids.

            This goes for “respectable” men as well. It’s quite an eye-opener to have teenage daughters and notice how many old creeps ogle them in public places.

            Once I was at the grocery store with my youngest daughter, and some old guy was checking her out–and standing pretty close to us in the produce department. A couple of minutes later, the guy’s wife swooped in to introduce us. She was one of the respectable and comfortably upper-middle-class ladies I knew from the garden club, and hubby had a high-level job with a pharmaceutical company. My daughter was probably about 14 at the time. I have often wondered if the wife knew that hubby couldn’t behave himself in public and swooping in to intervene had become part of her shopping routine when hubby was along.

            You also get those tense moments down at the children’s dance studio, where the moms (and grannies) are gathered while the kids are in dance class, and you mention that you know someone’s husband from somewhere. A instantaneous silent alarm goes off in the wife’s eyes. She now knows that you know that hubby is a skirt-chaser, since he almost certainly hit on you. (She suspects that the way you know the guy is that you had an affair with him.)

            Most men, even the ones you would tend to think are respectable, are not fit to be around women, let alone children.

            Many years ago, I had a cat that wanted to be let out every morning about 3:00 am. One night I woke up at 3:00 am, wondering why the cat hadn’t awakened me to be let out. I was living in a split-level at the time, where the driveway was directly below the bedroom windows. There was another cat sitting in the driveway calling my cat to come outside. It said, “I wanna go nowww,” over and over again, plain as could be. This went on for 15-20 minutes. Maybe longer, as I went back to sleep.

    The media sure is making much about nothing by noting how Putin’s arm seemed to hang by his side when walking down the airliner steps. I watched the video, and it looks like a bunch of nothing to me. At the very least, Putin is a leader that knows how to walk up and down steps without shuffling or tripping, he does not look like an old geezer.

    What do they expect, for Putin to be wildly gesticulating with his arm as he is walking down steps and approaching the other world leaders? Putin looked pretty healthy to me, and it appeared he was enjoying himself too!

    Consider this;

    Was the 2020 election stolen?

    If so, then the theives have four years to solidify their crooked voting infrastructure, install stooges and pave the way for future outrages. In fact, their first order of business is to get re-elected in each and every National election henceforth.

    Considering that once in power they would never give up said power.

    Therefore, if the Republicans succeed in the Midterms, or the 2024 Presidential election, then it brings into question the Dems ability to control their own suspected processe.and then the 2020 election, evenwith many irregularities, must be considered valid.

    I have to accept this premise, as I believe that the Dems are neither stupid nor incompetent…crinminals, commies and bastards, yes, of course, but not stupid.*

    Ron DeSantis seems to be fairly strong against illegal immigration. Remember the ad where he teaches his daughter to ‘build the wall’ when running for governor? Trump endorsed him, but would Ron do the same and push for the wall as president? He did ban sanctuary cities in his state.

    Like any aspiring politician, he’s doing the national fund-raising tours, gaining dollars and devotees which he’ll very much need to win in November. The race was really close the last time. I’m not sure if he is the ‘enemy’ as Anglin suggests. If so, he may be the best of the bad.

    I’m pretty much with Anglin on this one. ‘Colorblind meritocracy’ just doesn’t cut it. We do need to develop something like a ‘white spirituality’, even a ‘white, warlike spirituality’, a recognition and support of white Western achievements while we look to shape a future in which our abilities and our efforts are not thwarted by stifling, so called social justice, racial concerns. It will be tough going against the woke, globalist agenda, and being ‘colorblind’ only gives the green light to the white death rattle.

      Strange goings on in Ukraine as reported on the Duran, with Z threatening to use NATO provided missiles to hit Crimea, which Russia will interpret as an attack on Mother Russia; the Russian Defense Minister warned that Kiev will be leveled in response to any missile attack on historic Russian Territory, and they consider Crimea historic Russian territory. The US Embassy in Kiev has issued orders to button up and lay low, which, amongst other protocols, means striking the LBGQT flag and removing the massive George Floyd Mural from the side of the building, a sure sign the Ambassador is taking Russia’s words seriously.

      The pic of Admiral Rachel Levine wearing his lady’s navy uniform with his date in Paris, a dude from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in a tight dress and high heels, America’s Official Delegation to Bastille Day, was highly publicized in Russia (and in many other countries too) What a propaganda coup that photo is!

            If you look at the About Us page on UKC, you will find that while they undertake to tell the truth, they specifically advise listeners not to believe anything they say but to do their own research. That’s why those of us who try to keep abreast of what’s going on use many sources of information.

        You’ve been hanging around with the wrong crowd, GA, as perfectly illustrated when you make a bald-faced statement like “she gets off on dictatorship”?

        I’m well aware of the ‘Anti Jacinda’ faction – I know and drink with several of them. They all seem to have the same common misconceptions:

        > the vaccine is a bioweapon designed by the PTB cabal to kill us all off;

        > the WEF is running everything (or is on the run – it depends whether it’s Saturday or Wednesday)

        > New Zealand has lost all its ‘freedoms’ – utter bullshit.

        > Trump is a good guy.

        See? It’s the same all over the planet with these people, the cumulative effect of a coordinated campaign to have otherwise sensible people believe all kinds of bullshit.

            “…show why all those folks struck down with covid are overwhelmingly the vaxxed

            It’s a simple statistical fact that when a population is weighted heavily in one direction(in this case vaccinated), then of course the infection number represents many more of the vaccinated.

            However, it’s a simple matter of Public Health policy that a vaccinated population is less likely to be hospitalised and strain an already creaking health delivery system.

            But in any case, you’re out of sync with your trolling buddies:

            > Night Howler says it’s all a hoax
            > Marjory Taylor Queen says COVID doesn’t exist

          • GreenAlba July 21, 2022 at 9:22 pm #

            “However, it’s a simple matter of Public Health policy that a vaccinated population is less likely to be hospitalised”

            What does that sentence even mean?

            You mean if someone makes a mission statement it comes true? That sort of thing? And you’re forgetting that the population isn’t ‘vaccinated’ anyway – it’s just had its genes tweaked a bit. And not in a good way.

            The covid jabs now have negative efficacy. You’re something like twice as likely to get covid if you’re triple jabbed than if you’re completely unjabbed. And more likely to be hospitalised, and more likely to die. More likely to die, that is, of both covid and what all those unexplained excess deaths are caused by. Heart attacks, strokes, other thrombotic events and fast-track cancers. And dementia that’s a bit fast-tracky as well.

            As Dr Chetty explained, nobody dies of the virus. The sickness that starts on day 8, in those affected, is a reaction to the spike protein. The virus is gone at that point.

            Whether there is a virus or just sickness produced by spike protein on its own, it’s self-evidently a hoax

            Governments don’t engage in massive co-ordinated censorship campaigns to cover up their good deeds.

          • Redneck Liberal July 21, 2022 at 9:27 pm #

If you want to believe Klaus and Billy love you to bits and they all meet up in Davos to let the milk of human kindness flow, you’re free to do so – even free to tell everyone down the pub too.

            If Dr Chetty treated 7000 patients personally, and none of them ended up in hospital, none of them died and none of them developed long covid, why are hospitals creaking at the seams, why did normal hospital treatments need to be put on hold and why are all health authorities not promoting what Dr Chetty did?

            Or Drs Fareed and Tyson, or Dr McCullough, Dr Kory, or Dr Zelenko? Or all the other proper doctors who kept the vast majority of their covid patients out of hospital, without recourse to a genetic injection. and made their observably successful early treatment plans public in early 2020?

            At the end of the day, that’s the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question, isn’t it, Redneck?

    I heard that there are rumors that the walls are closing in on Zelensky and he may have barely escaped an assassination attempt. It’s not getting much attention but apparently he is purging out all of these people in his regime because he says they are committing treasons. And meanwhile Russia is forging ahead with renewed business deals and alliances with Turkey and Iran. And the Astana group is therefore fulfilling a prophecy of Ezekiel.

    And Saudi Arabia is apparently wanting to become part of the Eurasian confederation. And its hard to imagine why they would remain close to the US since the main focus of the US appears to be creating gigantic prison barges to house its own population which will be forced to eat ground up cricket meal and drink pee or otherwise starve. So the Western agenda generally is just losing gobs of support in the global south. The world turns as does the dance with the devil snake. I’m tired, good nite

    Petey Buttguy is fond of pushing electric cars. I like to play with numbers. I was a weird kid. How can we replace fossil fuel ? The energy density is crazy. Anybody familiar with guns knows that a 30-06 is a very powerful rifle round. One gallon of diesel fuel contains as much energy as 40,000 30-06 rounds. That is a lot of juice. Of course the diesel has to import oxygen, but still.

      How much energy does a 300 ft. tall wind turbine contain?

    “That’s why I — and so damn many other people I grew up with — have cancer.” “The first frost you had to put on your windshield wipers to literally get the oil slick off the window.” “My mother drove us instead of being able to walk.”

    Well it is clear now, Biden wants to shut down the oil industry because it has given him cancer. He came out in his speech stating in the present tense that he has cancer. What kind of cancer? Most certainly brain cancer is likely one of them!

    Here are some of his greatest hits in the world of lies:

    Biden often misspeaks while attempting to demonstrate a personal connection to his audiences.

    In September, for example, he told Jewish leaders that he remembered “spending time at” and “going to” the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the mass murder of 11 people in 2018. The synagogue said he never visited and the White House later said he was thinking about a 2019 phone call to the synagogue’s rabbi.

    That same month, Biden told an Idaho audience that his “first job offer” came from local lumber and wood products business Boise Cascade. The company said it was news to them and Biden had not previously described an interest in moving to the state.

    In January, Biden told students of historically black colleges in Atlanta that he was arrested during civil rights protests — for which there also is no evidence.

    And in May, Biden said at the Naval Academy’s graduation ceremony that he was appointed to the military school in 1965 by the late Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-Del.). A search of Boggs’ archives failed to turn up evidence of the appointment.

    He referred to a male Massachusetts lawmaker as “she” and said Glasgow was in England rather than Scotland.

    The president also made a reference to his past condition being caused by oil spewing from his mother’s car, rather than the sun exposure mentioned in medical reports.

    • cowbell81 July 21, 2022 at 10:53 am #

      And now Biden tests positive for COVID, as of Thursday morning!

      His symptoms are being reported as “very mild” and is taking Paxlovid.

      Biden is fully vaccinated and received two boosters; his second booster shot was on March 3.

      The president will work in isolation until he tests negative, the Haitian press secretary girl said.

      Biden traveled to Somerset, Massachusetts, on Wednesday where he announced executive actions to address climate change. The president greeted Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska at the White House on Tuesday.

      • BackRowHeckler July 21, 2022 at 11:13 am #

        And that’s when Olena submitted her request that the US provide Ukraine with an air defense system, an ‘Iron Dome’ if you will.

      “That’s why I — and so damn many other people I grew up with — have cancer.”

          What with his Covid diagnosis, ongoing cancer, and mental / physical decline, these are very likely “the last days of Joe Biden.”

    AOC and Ilhan were at an abortion demonstration at the Supreme Court and pretended to get arrested by folding their hands behind themselves as if handcuffed. AOC had a cop holding her arm as he lead her out of the street. Poor Ilhan had no cop to hold her arm and just was walking about ten feet behind them with her hands clasped behind her – like a great philosopher deep in thought.

    Then AOC triumphantly gave a fist pump in the air, showing that she wasn’t handcuffed at all.

    Re Peter:

    It’s probably not worth mentioning but my wife and I have concluded that Peter’s problems at this point are more mental than they are physical or medical. Sure, he can’t walk very far or be on his feet very long without needing to sit down due to his heart disease but it is astonishing to watch a person fall into a state of dementia (recognizable as the loss of short term memory) rapidly and right before your very eyes.

    I could list numerous examples but I’ll mention just one. Last night we went out to eat at a restaurant in New Brunswick. The 3 of us perused our menus at some length. When ready we hailed the waitress and my wife ordered a few items for the two of us to split, then Peter ordered for himself a lamb shish kabob and a side of rice. The waitress went off to the kitchen with our order. Not two minutes passed when Peter asked “where’s the waitress, shouldn’t we be ordering?”

    Bo said, “Peter, we just ordered… you’re scaring me!” Peter looked bewildered. I asked him “what did you order? Or what were you planning to order?” He confessed, “I have no idea.”

    • cowbell81 July 21, 2022 at 2:42 pm #

      Boy oh boy, that is sad and even has a certain amount of tragedy to it. Aa long as Peter is still enjoying life as much as he can, I suppose that is all that really matters at this point.

      I often think about people like Peter, imagining what they must have been like in earlier days when younger and a force to be reckoned with. If I was the waitress at that restaurant I would have been pondering these facts over the life and present state of Peter. Does any one person at an earlier stage in their life ever think to the future, wondering what they might be like and what their ailing health might turn them into?

      More than likely you just go about your duties at that earlier stage in your life, never giving second thought to what might await you in the future. I don’t, I often think about how I might fall apart physically and mentally in my later years (if I make it that long).

        Dementia runs in my mother’s side of the family. Her mother got senile about the age of 70. Then my mother got senile starting around 80 and got progressively worse until tkhe time she died at almost 102.

        My father’s side was ok. But physically, I take after my mother. Is my senility about due?

      The never ending saga of Peter’s adventures! I wonder what would happen if he chanced upon this site and started reading about himself. I think in view of our current situation, he would make a great president of the USA! Not only that, but he’s got a clean past history. Never involved in serious criminal activity, pedophilia, or incest. He’d do just fine.

      • cowbell81 July 21, 2022 at 3:31 pm #

        For sure. Hey Q, see if you can get Peter’s paperwork in order so he can run as an independent candidate in 2024! He’d have my vote.

      • BackRowHeckler July 21, 2022 at 3:50 pm #

        Another possibility: suddenly, Qs posts get strange, highly critical of Q himself, at the same time praising Peter as competent, accomplished, intelligent and forward thinking. What’s going on? Something obviously is up. Then, after a little internet sleuthing, we learn Q has ascended to the Great Pool Hall in the sky, breaking racks with Jackie Gleason, Paul Newman and Minnesota Fats; Meanwhile, brother in law Peter has taken over Qs CFN account, his mancave, and is riding around the Rutgers campus on Qs motorcycle picking up coeds and raising hell.

      Dementia is a condition of the brain, a physical organ. Early medical treatment can help apparently. Doesn’t sound like anyone even looked into this in his case, perhaps because of all the other medical issues and because he was never a high flyer to begin with.

        Maybe he doesn’t like the idea of women being really successful in both sports and business. I remember reading somewhere long ago in a magazine about Ivana and the Donald together on the ski slopes, both of ’em skiing down the intermediate runs, the Donald not being skilled enough for the black diamond stuff. But she was observed skiing backwards right in front of him as he was going downhill, and she was chewing him out while looking at him in the eye. This was back when it appeared they were having marital problems and their was gossip about it in the news.

          She was Czech.

          Czechs tend to be excellent athletes, especially skiiers.

          Wiki:

          “He encouraged his daughter’s skiing abilities, a practice she began at age four.[5][6] After developing skills as a skier, she joined the junior national ski team, which offered her opportunities to travel beyond the Soviet-era communist boundaries of what was then the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.[5] She attended Charles University in Prague and earned a master’s degree in physical education in 1972.[7][6] In 1970, Ivana appeared on Czechoslovak Television in the children’s television series Pan Tau.[8]

          Accounts differ as to Ivana’s history of skiing competitively.[9] It was reported that she was selected as an alternate on the Czechoslovak ski team during the 1972 Winter Olympics, specializing in downhill and slalom.[10][6] However, in 1989, Petr Pomezný, Secretary General of the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee, denied the claim and stated that despite searching extensively, no record could be found of her involvement.[7]

            When it comes to spouses, The Donald was able to spot quality in numbers 1 and 3.

      Ivana wasn’t a public person, was she. So why the vitriol?

      In other news, NYPost is reporting cases of polio turning up in NYC. It’s no coincidence that that’s tens of thousands of illegals from Central American Jungles have been shipped directly into NYC. This was a virus we thought we had eradicated. The same thing happened in ’15, when Obama placed young illegals into public schools around the US, and American kids began dying from a strange meningitis/polio like virus, in Lawrence, Mass., southern NJ, and in cities in Colorado. The story quickly disappeared. One death of a 5 year old boy in NJ they weren’t able to cover up.

    Adam Schiff, a Democrat on the January 6 committee, issued a statement on Twitter: “Wishing President Biden a speedy recovery from COVID-19. Glad to hear his case is mild – an important reminder about why being vaccinated and boosted can help keep everyone safe.”

    Yeah right, so totally sure that had Biden not been (fake) inoculated and boosted against Covid his condition would be much worse. His Covid bout is likely due to his vaxx status and the fact that he has been bumming around the world meeting with so many foreigners.

    This one is a classic from Rep Matt Gaetz:
    “Cancer yesterday. COVID today. Been a rough week for Biden,” he said in a tweet.

      Climate change doesn’t have quite the immediacy that ConVid does, but it’s ramifications might go even further. I expect personal ICE powered vehicles to have no more than a five year shelf life now. They’ll price every factor required to keep them running right out of existence.

      The delivery model for everything, right down to groceries and medications is already firmly established, and I expect by then that will be the only way you can acquire either. With extended wait times and shortages on top for good measure. Add in electronic payments and the ever-present surveillance technologies, and they’ll be able to enable prescribed “diet plans” for individuals without them even being aware of it (Patriot Act, remember that?).

      Farmer’s markets and other similar workarounds will likely all go by the wayside even before that due to the ICE restrictions, but where necessary, those can easily be regulated out of existence as well. Not that independent small farmers are going to be able to obtain fertilizers, pesticides and the like to grow bumper crops anyway.

      And last but not least, potable water will be targeted next, especially (but certainly not limited to) out here in the arid west. Once they get a firm stranglehold on that, it’s game, set, match; party’s over.

        The water situation for dependents on the Colorado River is really bad news. A lot of You Tube channels are dedicating time to what is happening at Lake Mead. Simply put, the CAP is a canal that comes off of the Colorado and feeds Phoenix and Tucson. It provides a lot of agricultural water and refreshes the aquifer under Phoenix. The developers running the area keep telling folks there is no problem with water.

        They lie.

        Outlying communities here are drying up, losing any water at all. Total loss. Aggie areas shutting down. We have watched our real estate appreciate for two years, last week it started what I think will be a protracted decline.

        So, when to sell and where to go?

        BTW, the San Joaquin Valley is drying up too because of their drought. The LA basin is fed by the same water as the CAP and faces big cutbacks. 25% of the produce and tree nuts produced in America comes from there.

    Heels Up Harris might be sworn into office as President at the exact moment Ukraine sends US made missiles into Svostapole — and Russia responds by leveling Kiev with artillery and airpower. I’m not sure much time that would take; how long did it take for the Soviets to demolish Berlin in April, 1945? About 10 days I think. I wonder how Heels Up will respond? Probably call Admiral of the Fleet Rachel Levine (Stunning & Brave) in for some stage military advice? Then, to show minority women can be great War Leaders too, initiate WW3 and a nuclear exchange with Moscow.

      a man on a bicycle is more efficient than a bird in flight … and the bicycle is the cure for the addiction that 41 (George Herbert Walker Bush) told us about…

      For five years, President George W. Bush has pushed relentlessly for new domestic oil drilling. He’s resisted tough measures to improve automotive fuel efficiency. For many Americans, these policies and others were symbolized by the picture of the President strolling hand-in-hand through the garden of his Crawford ranch last year with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.

      So when President Bush declared in Tuesday’s State of the Union address that “America is addicted to oil” and insisted the United States “break this addiction,” Washington was thrown into one of its occasional paroxysms of confusion. Did the President mean it? What did these strong words imply? Why was a Texas oil man urging Americans to “move beyond a petroleum-based economy”?”

You will show up at the entrance for your weekly allotment of Soylent Green; at the gate is a giant visage of Klaus Schwab on screen with a caption underneath that reads:

      “You Own Nothing, and You Are Happy.”

      At that moment you will be required to recite the Climate Pledge.

      You will be scanned, and if your Social Credit Score is acceptable, you will be given a ticket for extra rations — a concoction consisting of ground up cockroach’s, beetles, ants, and meal worms. For this, you will be grateful.

      Perhaps they’ll call them Grub Hubs – works in more ways than one.

      And Boris Johnson will get to slip out of the limelight after all he’s done to offer the population (including the farmers) up to Bill Gates and co., just like *Sir* Simon Stevens, erstwhile head of the NHS, got to ‘retire’ to a seat in the House of Lords after delivering the NHS up to Bill Gates and co.

    […] The Last Days of “Joe Biden” – Kunstler “I think we have witnessed “Joe Biden’s” final appearance at any world-stage event. ” It’s like our country is trapped on one of those swirling carnival rides beloved of the county fairs… only, the felonious mutt who runs the ride has nodded off in a fentanyl delirium with the motor running at maximum speed… and the children-of-all-ages locked in the pods of this infernal machine shriek and vomit with each sickening rotation… as the half-century-old swing arms groan and wobble from metal fatigue on their squealing pivots… and suddenly comes a deafening crunch of gnashed gears, the smell of burning oil, and the pathetic whimpering of the nearly dead.
