Do you think that more than half of the US public may be getting a little irked with “Joe Biden’s” lawfare elf, AG Merrick Garland, as he rolls one innocent J-6 protester after another into decades of hard-time for strolling through the US Capitol building — while the special counsels assigned to only a few of the Biden family crimes play hide-the-salami with due process?
For all their cheap talk about “our democracy,” it’s a little scary to see what Democratic Party lawyers actually think of the legal system that is supposed to allow a society based on liberty to function fairly. Court filings last week indicate that Special Counsel David Weiss is about to indict Hunter Biden on that gun charge they have used as the joker in a three-card Monte game for going on five years.
Last time, they ran the game before Delaware federal judge Maryellen Noreika, she detected a teeny-weeny, sneaky clause in the plea agreement to a watered-down gun charge that would have granted immunity to Hunter B from any other past wrongdoing, including, of course, the entire alleged Biden family racketeering operation that had the First Son acting as prime broker and bag-man for tens of millions of dollars in bribes from foreign actors in countries less than friendly to US interests, funneled into any number of Biden family shell corporations. Judge Noreika nixed the plea agreement.
Now, Mr. Weiss’s crew seems to be saying that the immunity clause is still tied to any plea deal answering a forthcoming September 29 indictment. The move would appear to be timed to exactly the moment that a House impeachment committee would begin its inquiry into the Biden family’s moneygrubbing activities. In ordinary House committee hearings, DOJ officials like to use the excuse of “an ongoing investigation” to demur from answering questions. Merrick Garland has done this dozens of times. Will they now try to upgrade that to “an ongoing prosecution?” Could that move lead to a constitutional impasse, requiring the Supreme Court to rule? Or does a House impeachment panel enjoy special privileges of inquiry?
It also appears that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FLA) intends to force the issue of opening an impeachment ASAP against “Joe Biden.” In last January’s maneuvering to seat a new Republican House majority, Mr. Gaetz pushed through an agreement that the process to remove and replace the Speaker of the House could be activated by one vote. Mr. Gaetz reiterated last week that he means business. He’s the one vote.
The argument that Republicans should leave hands-off “Joe Biden” so they can run against the feeble old grifter in 2024 is preposterous because there is no way that the “JB” can possibly run for reelection under any circumstances. It’s just another trip being laid on the American public — and one that illustrates how tragic and dangerous is the absence of an honest news media for challenging such insolent gambits. The President can barely totter into a room now without making some embarrassing pratfall or gaffe. He couldn’t possibly survive a debate, especially with all the new records of his crimes unearthed since the last time around in 2020 when he pretended to know nothing about his son’s business dealings.
Anyway, the actual issue is not whether it’s politically advantageous to lay off “Joe Biden,” but the irrefutable fact that he (and the shadowy figures running his regime) are wrecking the country. He (they) can do a lot more damage in the many months leading up to January, 2025, especially around the dangerous idiocy that the US foreign policy gang pursues so blindly in Ukraine. You might argue that the “president” would never be convicted (actually booted out) in a Democrat majority Senate trial following a productive House impeachment. But both procedures would be televised and recorded for play on a thousand Internet channels, despite the connivance of a complicit legacy news media. And the public will finally see the case against “Joe Biden” and his family laid out carefully, precisely, and coherently, with high and grave decorum. Even some percentage of ring-fenced Democratic voters may have to finally conclude that something has gone very wrong in our country and in their own party.

Happy 9/11 everyone, the beginning false flag event to have kicked off the 21st Century. Joey Biden is currently spending time up in Alaska, trying to figure out how to keep more oil in the ground in order to keep those gas prices high!
Who knows what kinds of rambling gaffes Joey B. will come out with next! Or maybe they’ll just shut down the Q&A portion of the presser and play some jazz music like they recently did in Hanoi, as Biden shuffles off stage right while the media yells questions at him about Hunter Biden’s improprieties.
Rumor has it that Ol’ SloJo has ordered a 12 foot black dust fence to be constructed around the White House, Lahaina style, to keep curious citizens and reporters at bay. If it works as well as expected, Congress and the Supremes are expected to follow suit. Armed stormtroopers will be stationed outside as well to “politely” inform people to “move along, there’s nothing to see here.”
Who knows? If the trajectory of war plays itself out where it’s currently heading, maybe there will be nothing to see not just at the White House but in all of the entire DC area and a good part of Virginia after incoming missiles reduce the entire area to a pile of radioactive gravel and ashes.
That might be a fitting end to the evil, Woodchuck.
Now that would be a good use for a dust fence!
I’m reminded of Joe’s 2021 inauguration. Bleachers filled with a few hundred globalist faithful. The streets of Washington filled with troops, tanks, and armoured personnel carriers. Ordinary Americans kept away and locked down (for their own good).
It sort of looked like a banana republic coup. A regime secure in it’s legitimacy would not sentence unarmed Jan 06 demonstrators to 20 year prison terms. The ass clowns running this dystopia are terrified of an awakened people.
It was a follow-up to the Jan. 6th coup, when McConnell and Pelosi set up a small riot in order to shut down the Constitutional procedure needed to “certify” the vote.
Once they had that done, they rolled out the barbed wire and armed goons for the coronation.
I don’t know why more people can’t see that for what it was.
BTW, I see that Bobby Jr. has commented on President Trump’s mug shot, but he didn’t really fgo into why a former president was having a mug shot taken in the first place.
Curious.
@hmuller
They needed to cordon off the inauguration, not for security, but to mask an anticipated historically low attendance.
They were not kept away.
They never existed.
They were terrified of the realization by “ordinary Americans” that the most voted for candidate in history had nobody in attendance at the coronation.
Exhibit B months after the election night of the hockey stick poll #’s
We’ll call it “The Lahaina treatment”…
Once we understand what actually happened regarding Pearl Harbor, the events of 9/11 will make complete sense.

Certainly answers the age old question: “War! What is it good for?”
A: Providing useless pols with an excuse to increase their power and grift.
There is an article on the Pearl Harbor attack today in the Unz Report.
The NFL was in full tear jerker mode with last night’s Cowboys-Midgets blowout. Tonight will be even more maudlin with the Bills and the Jets.
NFL + 16 months = bud lite
Real men brew their own beer, govern themselves and help run business cooperatives in a gift economy and/or stuff like that.
As for JHK, his bi-weekly babbles are kinda LGBTQ+.
Just readin’ for a friend. XD
The new math:
2 planes = 3 buildings!
One of the towers fell into the base of the third building and effectively knocked out that one corner.
There were also fires inside that third building.
Are you trying to say that the corner damage to the building brought it down in perfect symmetrical freefall with accompanying squibs visible during the whole process?
Uh, benr doesn’t understand physics – and that’s not saying much, most people don’t. Most of us were asleep or bored in science classes and physics and chemistry were subjects we avoided. Engineering students who took all the freshman basic engineering classes would know that a physical law called “conservation of momentum” challenges all the state’s explanations for what happened on 9/11.
Exactly Woody – and anyone who took freshmen basic engineering classes and didn’t immediately recognize that as three controlled demolitions, hopefully is not now a credentialled Engineer. Remind me again what “Pull it” means.
Those laws of physics also prove how utterly stupid masks for a virus were.
I see Newsom talking about what he would have done differently “in hindsight”, but we knew all these things, indubitably, way before March 2020.
It had nothing to do with physics and everything to do with phear. The third building saw what happened and simply collapsed out of phear. It soiled its rebar.
Zazzy – some of your stuff seems silly, but no doubt you have a seriously deep intellect. Match that with a wicked sense of humor, and ^this^ is what you get. Awesome. Screen-shotting to send to some of my buddy engineers (for truth). Funny AF.
Total silliness, Ron, and I appreciate your sentiment.
And the psychic BBC reporter saw all that in advance and declared the still standing tower behind her had been destroyed…
Ron: Exactly. I liked the tortuous explanations they went through trying to tell us that “pull it” didn’t mean what it has always meant. In any case, there’s no way that ordinary fires turn concrete to dust.
They said it was a glitch in the feed that delayed the picture of the building going down into its own footprint.
benr – You should watch the video called ‘9/11 Mysteries – Demolitions. All 3 of those buildings were structural demolitions.
As long as government, no matter what, stays in control, it’s all good.
They all fell at or very near free-fall speed.
The only way to get a collapse like that is to simultaneously destroy all supporting structures–otherwise a free-fall collapse is not possible. Particularly three collapses where the debris is pulverized and lands in its own footprint.
This stuff has been done to death over at A&E.
The physics involved are actually rather basic.
Someone postulated that it was DEWs…those old Jewish Space Lasers are going to come in handy again soon enough.
It has long irritated me that Karl Denninger is dead set against 9/11 “Truthers.” There are a couple of reasons for this, one being that the official story is clearly a crock, and you’d have to be a moron to believe it. The other reason is that Karl is always decrying the public’s refusal to take action, whether against the government or against “jabbist” doctors or neighborhood pharmacists, or whoever–whom he often says that he would “do something about,” so that they would no longer cumber the earth. Quite the tough guy.
But he refuses to allow any discussion of 9/11 and buys the official story.
Since he’s no dummy, this suggests to me that, at a minimum, he’s been told how far he can go: So far and no further.
Generally, Karl does a great job, but it appears that he will “kiss the ring” as needed.
There were no fucking DEWs.
It was a classic demolition. Go look at the mountain of evidence at A&E.
Night Owl – you’re such a humorless fuck, as many here seem to be agreeing of late. Was that too subtle an ironic joke for you?
Your posting frequency is well up again – are you ‘between positions’? Fired for being too much of a smartass?
DEW man is upset.
Actually, it’s 4, because no plane hit the pentagon.
That’s correct. My husband and I saw a video of the missile strike that hit the pentagon, before it was scrubbed from YouTube.
I think it was pre-planted explosives, just like the the WTC buildings and the Murrah Building.
No missile, no plane, (although there was a plane which flew over the building as the explosives went off. Many, many people saw the plane fly over them, but didn’t realize that it flew over the building. Except for one employee on the other side of the building, who was out taking a smoke break, and saw it continue on.)
It was a scud missile. Saw it yesterday on bitchute
A scud missile? Omifuckingod, are there no end to the psy ops?
Think about what you just said.
You’re 100% incorrect.
I worked with a lady that was literally across from the pentagon when the plane hits she saw it live.
Utter bullshit.
I worked down the road and saw the initial blast hole.
There was no fucking plane.
Which is why they will never show you the video.
Nope she had no reason to lie about the event.
There is no video, and the claimed plane made a nearly impossible maneuver and created a round hole the size of a small missile. The media likes to hide those photos.
These things are far more interesting to me than someone who claimed they saw a plane. Lots of people are sure they had “Covid,” too.
Indeed. They will never show you what did, just like they will never show you an isolate of “Covid-19”
So where did the non-Flight 92 planes go, if not the WTC and the Pentagon?
Show us the video of what hit the Pentagon, Bob.
there is a video that was less than 10 frames a second shows a tail section it is out there it shows like 1 frame before the explosion.
The idea that this inept government could cover up an act of treason this huge for this long is utterly preposterous.
More believable is they knew about it and let it happen like Pearl Harbor or the USS Maine event.
Hell some of them might have even helped it along but to have planned and executed it…naw to many moving parts.
Where is this mysterious video?
Why won’t they show us a video where we don’t have to guess what a thin white streak might be?
There are more cameras on and around the Pentagon than just about any other building in the US. I used to work in the Army Library, so I do have some idea of what I am talking about.
“So where did the non-Flight 92 planes go, if not the WTC and the Pentagon?”
These types are questions are in themselves not evidence.
just like “Show me the isolate.”
They really don’t further any concrete hypotheses, as far as I can tell.
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Regarding the plane that supposedly went into the Pentagon, it is quite possible that relevant video is being withheld and suppressed to lead people into that gotcha! question dead-end.
And, it is a dead-end.
“And, it is a dead-end.
It is an intentional dead-end— until and unless we get a clearer picture of what actually hit the Pentagon.
And a pentagon…
Too much cowbell.
More Cowbell!
More Cowbell casts disdain on those of us that dislike Kool-Aid and is totally destructive to the message from those of us that actually read. You and Cowbell should be laughed of this chat-line. Cogent conversation is important. Your AI-style trolling of this thread is why the disaffected cannot hear.
Read more before commenting.
you got a name for the narrative you’re promoting?
You so smaaht!
@Justanotherguy
“you got a name for the narrative you’re promoting?”
It’s not a narrative. It’s fact. When I go to the other side (HuffPo, et al) I read the comment section to gauge the audience. Very useful, especially in determining the veracity of the claims in the article.
Unhinged dipshits like CB and DA (and a few more) specifically and directly make this blog a pariah of “far right” lunacy. Their comments overshadow anything and everything James has to say with NSFW vitriol of infantile dialogue… and it would not surprise me to find their source on the Potomac.
Those that read (the choir), know this. But they shrug it off. Those that are looking for answers are immediately faced with the fact that his audience is 100% certifiable.
This comment thread needs a “dumbass” vote. Then, if I get them all, I’ll leave, If not, then I’ll know I’m not reading a dumbass.
Just curious JC. Why would you take the name of a failing and bankrupt business as a handle? Hmmm. If I decide to get a sock puppet account in here I think I’ll call myself “Sears and Roebuck”.
Maybe the culture has forced us into being 100% certifiable. I can say with certainly, I am a totally different person with an alternate outlook on life and society since the whole Covid scamdemic in 2019.
And I am sure that all your friends posting on Huffington also display irrational comments a la TDS. Now that should be a certifiable DSM disease you know.
I take offense JC Penny that you think I do not read and cogitate over what is going through our world and society. Maybe you should watch the recent Biden speech in Hanoi and see how that press event was handled. It speaks poorly on the current administration, but then again is no surprise.
BTW, Penneys is right down there with Sears in terms of nearly being run out of business. Sad but true, it was a glorious store back in the early part of the last century when business actually catered to the customer.
i read plenty, and i understand the difference between far right lunacy and pissed off people with a coherent pov, expressed loudly.
if you measure the veracity of anything by the degree to which you see acceptable conformity, or even civility of discourse, you are revealing your own discomfort with conflict.
specifically, if you accept unquestioningly all the NIST reports about events of 22 years ago, i question whether you were taught how to think critically.
i’ve been screamed at by people fearful of questioning any part of the ‘popular mechanics’ worldview, by simply stating, there are some things that don’t add up. in reality, the problems with what happened on that day are way larger than that, from the bottom with physics, to the top, with geopolitics.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
? Samuel Adams
i sincerely you’re not one of those Adams dismisses…
My handle was assigned in Pilot Training. The lazy that imply it has anything to do with a retail store miss the point. Infact, I have a plaque that states it unequivocally: “in JC we trust.” They suggested that I [akin to JC] was a source of knowledge, not your rampaging tin-wit I decry on this thread. You don’t get it.
That is why I despise you. Stand for function or fall to disfunction. Your display of DUMB makes this site ID’d as DUMB. Whether it’s generated by the NSA or genuine, it doesn’t matter.
CB suggests I watch a video. Of course I have. And I read the transcript. And I read the VM press version. Y’all just don’t understand it because you refuse to understand it. You cower under your lamentable sheepishness, regaling any transgressors to your ‘approved thought’. Sound familiar? Doubt it.
Drop the tin. Lambaste the tin. Fight the fight that is reasonable.
Hmm… JC sounds like another commenter who recently left, claiming to the effect that “he/she was tired of conversing with children.” Could it be?
But the fact that he/she reads HuffPo says a lot. Not surprised he/she’s up in arms. That’s some genuine insanity over there.
@DA: NO.
“…that he/she reads HuffPo says a lot…”
That you don’t says a lot.
Just to restate the premise of my dissent:
You cower under your lamentable sheepishness, regaling any transgressors to your ‘approved thought.’ You align yourself with +2LGBTQRSDJUHTD in flawed logic.
Unless, and until, your arguments are void of Pizzas delivered by Unicorns… your argument is void of any substantive basis, and indeed, cripples reasonable discission.
Relish the relish. These comments from the flawed are: Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus
Penny, you’re the type of person that’s a complete waste of time arguing with. Anybody can make noise, and that’s just about all you’re doing. Who knows, maybe your’re even being paid to do this. Whatever.
@Woodchuck
” … a complete waste of time arguing with.”
QED
Y’all just don’t get my point, which is frustrating, to say the least. My point is that JHK’s posts are awesome, yet they seem to draw the drollest to comment. If the comments section of JHK’s wonderful missives, twice a week, are followed by a bunch of ‘no planes hit the towers’ or ‘no virus has been found,’…or I saw Elvis at Disney!’ then his entire post is relegated to fantasy of inglorious resort.
You cannot win an argument of reason with unreason.
Proud Mary keeps on burning!
Roll on down the river right out of here like you promised, won’t you?
Maybe you can impress the idiots over on HuffPo with your self-righteous shtick. No? Oh, that’s right. That’s why you’re here again! Poor baby!
DA: Palm to forehead.
I read HuffPo to understand. You avoid it to feel righteous.
You are the problem.
@ jc
No, we don’t read the Huffington post because its leftist pablum and gruel with a huge side of group think and propaganda.
I can read the same fair on any leftist “newsy” site they are ALL the same right down to the talking points and when they come out.
Has anyone ever seen JC Penny and MaryQueen in the same room at the same time?
Paula D: Yes, I remember seeing the footage of the plane. It was a white one, wasn’t it?
I don’t remember. But a lot of people saw it.
They just didn’t see it hit the Pentagon, even if they swear they did.
Too much smoke.
And I did see the interview with the dude who was out smoking, minding his own business, when all of a sudden this plane flies low over the building and his head, and then flew on.
I remember seeing 2 or 3 frames from a security camera.
This reflexive paranoia is sort of masturbatory, though, at least in my humble. There are dozens of people, like Barbara Olson, a media figure, on that flight manifest who must have dropped into the bowels of the earth then, if no plane struck the Pentagon.
Thinking up elaborate alternate explanations for events like that are, beyond a certain point, as useful as biting fingernails or playing endless rounds of a video game.
Really? You think that a plane had to hit the Pentagon at ground level, penetrate 3 enhanced walls, and then vaporize, or Barbara Olson is not dead?
“The beginning false flag event to have kicked off the 21st Century.”
Nice.
Remember the Maine.
And the Liberty.
yes, the Liberty.
Yeah, I just heard that on the radio this morning. Secretary Pete was recently in Alaska as well, touting the latest in infrastructure awards.
… and promoting his patented chest feeding apparatus.
I stumbled on a Q&A event for the former VP Pence.
What a lack luster panty waste of a man he kind of reminded me of Mitt Romney empty suit vanilla (fake) a man of zero substance blown around by the wind.
Welcome to the 4th Turning
Romans believed saecula measured roughly 100 years or so? About a century, mas o menos?
What a word! It brings us secular and century.
A century ago was 1923, just after WWI.
Were they the strong generation who brought the abundant times, or was it the WW2 generation meaning we have 2 more decades to go before a passing of the “greatest (worst) generation” saecula?
Conflict/unrest/responsible people-good times/weak people-hard times…
It’s an interesting theory to say the least. The ancients attributed weakness and prosperity to generational eras. Hence the importance in capturing a generation even to this day.
They need our youth for the future hell they envision.
I would love to see Biden & His Band Of Merrymen be exposed and disgraced for all of history. Same for anyone in their position of “gettin’ ‘way w’ shit” no matter the crime or the party.
We don’t get away with anything. They do.
I still give it a snowball’s chance. But, if it can turn the heads of some staunch lefties to at least have to admit he turned out to be a POS, that’s good enough for me.
Floosh. Down the drain he goes.
Maybe.
Mango – no chance, not even a snowball’s. They cannot be disgraced – they have no self-respect – no shame. Same as it ever was. Staunch lefties? Ditto.
That was why our forebears had the town stocks.
That’s far too harsh nowadays. Just the thought of stocks would hurt their feelings.
Tar and feathers.
But even way back then, only the small-time miscreants (some guy who swore, some guy who worked on a Sunday) ever spent time in the stocks.
Then as now, the big-time criminals ran large companies, the banks, and had high-level appointments in government.
Think East India company.
Ron – Drudge is today suddenly calling out Biden’s bumbling speech in Vietnam where he rambled and then declared, “I don’t know about you, but I’m going to bed.”
This would’ve been ignored (as many other gaffes have) over the last 30 months. When the lefties start actually printing that stuff, they’re ready to throw him under the bus.
Bet it’s in the NYT tomorrow.
Still, snowball. But it’s there in the freezer if needed.
They are preparing us for his exit.
When the Big Guy leaves, he will be mourned, not ridiculed.
Nope I’m throwing a fire when that asshole is roasting in hell.
“Whom the Lord loveth, he chastens.”
So, if these people are never chastened, what does that say?
never hasn’t happened yet.
MrMango,
Remember Jim’s post from last week, it ain’t “Biden”, it’s the Kenyan running things behind the curtain. I wish people would, collectively, stop blaming “Biden”. He’s a dementia case in point and doesn’t know where he is most of time. He clearly isn’t the one setting the policies. It’s Obama. We all need to blame Obama. Each. And. Every. Day. Maybe his pea-sized egocentric little brain will explode and do us all a great big favor.
It’s more complicated than just saying “Soetoro” (Obama’s actual last name). Soros, aka the man nobody is allowed to mention unless they want yo be labeled a Jew-hater, runs Soetoro. And Schwab and the WEF largely run Soros, and has their grubby hands all over the environmental movement. Biden was way, way behind in 2020, until future climate czar John F-ing Kerry told Schwab that Biden agreed with Schwab’s goals, and would implement them faster than anyone else — shockingly fast. About the same time, James Clyburn endorsed the crooked prick Biden. This began Biden’s miraculous comeback as money poured in and the news media breathlessly reported on how incredible it was that Biden had come back. Yeah, incredible all right. And enough people believed this was all a spontaneous groundswell of support for “good old Joe” that they voted for him to get rid of Trump. And, because arrogant humanity hates admitting it makes mistakes, they’ll do it again, even if Biden is a known crook and traitor.
Why would Sotero be Obama’s “actual” last name?
Sotero was his step-father, not his father. Who the hell thinks that a step-father’s last name is a child’s “actual” name?
LOL Soetoro adopted Barack Obama Jr. At that time Little Barry’s last name changed to Soetoro, and his nationality became Indonesian so that he could attend school there. Which is why his Columbia student ID shows he’s a foreign national.
Damn autocorrect. Lolo Soetoro.
I guess it comes down to which “known crook” you, personally, prefer.
WAYNE ROOT: Tucker is Outing Obama as Gay. But Everyone is Missing the Big Story. I’m Obama’s College Classmate. I’ve Been Trying to Warn America for 15 Years!
“I’ve had Obama pegged from the first day. Obama is the ultimate “Manchurian Candidate.” Gay is unimportant. What matters is he was groomed to be president by the Deep State and communist, fascist, globalist enemies of the United States. What matters is Obama is a radical Marxist tyrant carrying out the destruction of America.
Obama was tame in his first two terms. He was “boiling the frog slowly.” But Trump ruined his plan. Now Obama is trying to destroy this country as fast as he can, before Trump has a second chance to undo the damage.
And at the same time, Obama is coordinating the attacks on Trump to either imprison him, kill him, or disqualify him.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/wayne-root-tucker-is-outing-obama-as-gay/
“What matters is he was groomed to be president by the Deep State and communist, fascist, globalist enemies of the United States. What matters is Obama is a radical Marxist tyrant carrying out the destruction of America.” BoO
FFS, Beryl. Can someone really be a “communist, fascist, globalist” and “radical Marxist tyrant”? These are not all the same thing. Geez.
Thank you. They don’t understand the real meaning of the word vs the pejorative or schoolyard meaning of the word. And even if you explained it to them, they prefer the schoolyard and will keep using it – as the Elite have trained them to do.
Must have been the College For Dummies.
And they stuck two of them in the same room, to boot.
Just watch the Obama deception it has aged very well.
UN, I agree that Biden doesn’t know his ass from the sole of his shoe, but I just can’t see Obama as actually running anything either. He’s the guy that said stuff well, that’s it.
I don’t see Barry in an underground bunker making national security calls and covertly sending them “up the ladder”. I see him as living rich for free because he’s “that one guy”.
I agree. Both Obama and Biden are puppets.
Barry-O just wants effortless adulation. The Big Guy just wants to play in the bounce house with pre-pubescent girls.
I have no idea who their ultimate puppet-masters are, but I am convinced that they are pulling the strings of every other “world leader”.
Considering fascists and the World Economic Forum and their allies, as I said above. Consolidate all power in their hands while convincing the masses that they’re leveling the playing field.
Obama was a great frontman like David Lee Roth. The Deep State selecting Biden as a replacement for Obama was like replacing DLR with Pee Wee Herman.
I agree also. Obama is the well-paid puppet, but he is unable to run any plot.
He just follows his lines better than the BIg Guy.
And this Root guy sounds like the roommate from hell.
@ Blackbird & Paula D – Oh, please…if you truly believe that you “know” what you have stated here, surely you likewise “know” who the ‘ultimate puppet master’ is, right? Tell us all! Spill the beans!De-bag the cats!
Not roommate. Just a guy who went to the same college at the same time.
Blackbird: ”I have no idea who their ultimate puppet-masters are”
RO: ”surely you likewise “know” who the ‘ultimate puppet master’ is, right? Tell us all!”
Someone can’t read.
“Even some percentage of ring-fenced Democratic voters may have to finally conclude that something has gone very wrong in our country and in their own party”
Regrettably, this cohort will be very small when you have the current Hollywood (Marxist left) partisan band leaders saying that primaries and third party candidacies (a direct assault against RFK Jr.) must be banned.
“Even some percentage of ring-fenced Democratic voters may have to finally conclude that something has gone very wrong in our country and in their own party”
I don’t think this is even possible anymore. Amongst my democrat leaning friends a few have admitted that the accusations against PB are to varying degrees likely, probable and true- they still to a person respond with a resounding “but Trump would be even worse.”
So I suspect we are stuck with the current situation.
That’s why a lot of them are clamoring for Secretary Pete to run.
Regarding that band- the leader, one Rob Reiner, who I used to think was maybe just plain old nuts, is actually working with an organization that has heavy ties to the CIA.
“He runs an organization with 3 CIA chiefs who all serve as his ‘advisors’
As a Hollywood producer
No background in national security or foreign affairs. Just a humble little Hollywood producer who just so happens to have 3 chiefs of the Central Intelligence Agency in his ear”
https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1700544476416987392
I saw that, too. The infiltration runs deep.
RFK, Jr. felt he had to run as a life-long Democrat. Now the DNC has pulled every nasty move in their playbook to stop RFK Jr., and to save Biden and The Deep State shenanigans and all thinking people can see what is going on.
If he is serious about “winning” he will announce he is running as an Independent within a matter of days.
He would have to have thousands of people in every state willing to spend weeks petitioning.
It is almost impossible to get on the ballot of some states.
You can’t just announce that you are running and automatically get on the ballot.
Yes he would. Will he?
No.
Why risk a .308 round through his brain stem by “betraying” the Kennedy legacy and the Party of Evil? He’ll pull in his horns and support the Dem candidate, saying he’s “raised awareness of serious problems” when he drops out.
At some point, you figure out you need to charge the cockpit door.
Haha, perfect 9/11 analogy there. Kudos!
Mac – Excellent, one of the best I’ve ever seen. Are we there yet? (Rhetorical) We’re losing altitude rapidly now – let’s do it before we augur in. Thanks man – you made my day.
Now THAT would make a good bumper sticker.
Well said. Now if only someone possessed of gargantuan brass nads would step up to lead the charge. Other than Trump and a few members of the Freedom Caucus who else is even making a serious effort?
Wiz – Trump & the Freedom Caucus are not even on the plane. It’s up to us – The People. You already know that.
The people?
The people are lost, evolved into a mess of gimme lemmings. Young people with no future, working class people who do not like to work, and older folks that remember a much better America but do not have the wherewithal to do anything about it.
It is time for the true Americans to either politically separate, or get the heck out of Dodge.
SSA records show they are paying 9 million expats right now. The primary answer from those expats for their departure is the condition of DC, the politics AKA the Deep State.
I wonder how many folks under 65 are either out of here or thinking about it.
Personally, if I had the wherewithal, I’d have been out of the land of the free and home of the brave a long time ago.
Where would you go?
@ JAZ – we are the people. black pill if you must, but you’ll do it alone.

JAZ – to cut & run doesn’t solve anything. You either defend your way of life or you lose it. It really is that simple, think about it.
Even if we vote harder, as hard as we can, it won’t change anything. You already know that. I hope.
Think about the first two warring tribes – over resources most likely, as are all wars – one defended their way of life and won. The other one didn’t and lost their way of life. That simple. Darwinian simple.
“To the victor belong the spoils of the enemy.” ~ William L. Marcy
You’re correct in your assessment of the people – they’ll never rise to that challenge or the occasion. They are lost. Individually, plan accordingly.
If voting harder produces no results then eventually people will be saying we need to shoot harder and with better accuracy.
“Individually, plan accordingly.”
For many that may well mean leaving the country, if they have the wherewithal and a place to go or already have a foothold elsewhere.
Otherwise, relocating is extremely difficult—even for dual citizens.
I recall reading somewhere in the past that you require four to six percent of the population onside to effect change…
@ Ron Anselmo:
I don’t think you can say that, “To cut and run doesn’t solve anything. You either defend your way of life or you lose it.”
The Mennonites could have stuck around in Germany and Switzerland, where there was zero chance of reforming the governmental or social structure, rather than moving to the US.
If a person were to take a pessimistic view of our present situation, you could say that our governmental/social structure has already reverted to an autocratic or feudal model. Maybe there is some possibility of dislodging it, maybe through secession, but I’m not sure the will to do so exists among enough people.
Ultimately, you have to decide who “your” people are. Maybe you don’t have a people any more, except for a handful of friends and relatives. Maybe you don’t have a viable “way of life” any more, in your present location.
In such a case, the sensible thing to do would be to gather up “your” people and move to where you could live “your way of life,” as a group.
I don’t foresee being able to do this. Family members are far-flung, and everybody in the family has a recently purchased house and a good or reasonably good job, so they’re busy picking out fruit trees, duvet covers, and onesies for the new baby. No one really expects the Sheriff of Nottingham to come knocking.
I’m a little scared, though–especially for the long-term. But I probably won’t be around for the long term, anyway.
Speaking of serious/not serious, here are a couple of guys just talking over what the heck RFK Jr. is up to.
From about 14:59 to 23:30
https://rumble.com/v3g1bn6-free-form-friday-09-08-2023.html
I recall RFK Jr. saying no way would he go third party should he lose the nomination.
Curiously, he is just now discovering that the Democrats will put policies in place to keep him out.
The men in the video find this as strange as I do.
He didn’t notice what was done to Hillary Clinton, Bernie, and Tulsi Gabbard?
As I said before, IMO, he has to run with Trump. He has no chance alone. Won’t even get out of the primary.
Ron Paul said the same thing, he ran as Republican. Did not really want to, but third party candidates face too many obstacles and are too easily marginalized.
Ron Paul challenged the results in his election. I did not know that.
Under the New Rules, he could go to prison for that, instead of going to Congress
Huh? That reads like total bullshit, Beryl. Please, kindly direct us all to the statute that makes it illegal to SAY the election was rigged. I won’t hold my breath because you cannot do it.
Rooftop, that’s essentially what’s happening. Alan Dershowitz discussed it at length with Megyn Kelly today. He said that he would’ve been imprisoned for his work on behalf of Florida voters if the 2020 election fiasco occurred today.
Rooftop – Please, kindly direct us all to the statute that makes it illegal to SAY the election was rigged. I won’t hold my breath because you cannot do it.
Dare I say, you are a disingenuous moron. Apologies if I’m overstating that.
Read any paper – today – and you’ll see that no statutes are required to make such claims.
See: Jan 6 onlookers, passive participants and DJT.
Also, to play whataboutism, Hillary did the same thing from 2016 on.
RO has a point. There is no statue that says that challenging election results is illegal, and it is obvious that Democrats do it all the time.
Since there is no law saying it is illegal, the Georgia prosecutor had to invent one in order to prosecute Trump, and then used the actual RICO Act to prosecute 18 others, making a cool 19 defendants. (Shades of 9-11, amirite?).
It is clearly a malicious prosecution, as I’m sure RO will admit, since there is no actual law, even in Georgia, as we know from listening to Stacey Abrams all these years.
RD3: There are lot of considerations in choosing a place, but right off the top, I’d choose a Caribbean island. Not a “first world” country, however, because all their governments are essentially the same, they only differ in degree. Or maybe some small podunk country nobody ever speaks of or hears from very much.
As bad as it is here, it is home. I would be worried about being the foreigner in a foreign land when it all falls apart.
If you don’t “go along to get along,” you’re a foreigner anyway.
True, but I’m not a foreigner to my neighbors, co-religionists, friends, etc. In a foreign land, you would be on your own.
Exactly. Americans stand out like sore thumbs wherever we go. We never blend in – we don’t even try. We have long been bowed to, we will soon become targets.
Stay among your people. The music has stopped. Sit down.
“There are lot of considerations in choosing a place, but right off the top, I’d choose a Caribbean island.”
You’d sooner or later get the Lahaina treatment.
Once the middle class and the millionaires are disposed of, the money and resources flow upwards. More billionaires. They then get more options, and the old money billionaires get their ninth residence.
What’s the point in trying to pursue a prosecution against Hunter? Daddy’s just going to pardon him on his way out of office. Unless he actually drops dead first, which would be ironical, as my grandmother used to say.
I think, they’re pushing Joe across the finish line for just that purpose. He’s going to pardon all of them, from Clinton to Vindman.
Impeach him NOW.
To receive a presidential ‘pardon’, crimes must first be proven, and then admitted to by the perpetrator.
So, what are you talking about? Impeach him…? For what crimes? What convictions? What’s to pardon, you moron?
Rooftop Observer?
Your observation could only come from under a rock, which is where I presume you’ve been for the last 10 years. Unless of course, you’re tripping on your COVID boosters.
A child could prepare the articles of impeachment against Biden.
What’s the point of prosecuting him on a measly gun charge?
Probably so the media can say, “See? No one is above the law, just like we said”, and the whole matter will be considered closed.
Grift and all.
Yup. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is busy pursuing 20-year-old paperwork errors on gun license applications and have to date revoked the licenses of 100+ gun dealers across the country.
While banks try to destroy gold coin shops.
I think it’s to drag it out as long as possible and keep the focus on the gun charge rather than the business deals. If it goes to a jury trial in DC, he’ll get a suspended sentence (after weeping on the witness stand about his addictions, hair loss, and other personal tragedies) and maybe even start a grassroots organization like Deviants Against Guns.
I like it! DAG. Or make it, Deviants Rise Against Guns, DRAG, and get the trannie vote locked down.
“the trannie vote”…lol. You really are a riot, Paula D.
According to UCLA Williams Institute, there were in June 2022, an estimated 1.6 million people in the USA, aged over 13 identified as transsexual.
Not exactly a winning cohort for any party, is it? In fact, that number isn’t even the margin of error, which is why it’s so bemusing to find all you right-wing God-botherers raging on and on about what is in fact a total non-issue.
Please go back to posting under your original banned handle, Rooftop.
Why haven’t you announced your pronouns yet, Rooftop?
Isn’t that required for your kind?
Rooftop, please enlighten your crowd about how much trannies are a non-issue. Because it seems like they are the main issue to all of you.
It makes them look like they’re “doing something.”
It would at least infer some (albeit “tiny”) bit of justice remains alive…
Joey Biden and his minions may be shitface grifters, but to say the J6 protesters were merely “strolling through” the capitol is a tad disingenuous. Either way, democracy in Amerika is in deep doo-doo.
Was it an insurrection Tom? An unarmed revolution? Hardy fucking har har. The only person murdered was Ashli Babbitt, by the only ones armed – the Capitol Police.
It’s called a redress of grievances – enshrined in the US Constitution. Something you know nothing about. We are not, but were formed as, a Constitutional Republic Tom.
You said it, Ron!
(:
Do not forget Rosanne Boyland, beaten to death by the Capitol Police.
Never have insurrectionists carefully moved the rope guides in the Hall of Presidents with such passive agression!
Ah… Lookee! A true-blue Tucker Carlson Propaganda Monkey, we have here…
It appears you have avoided watching any video contradicting the MSNBC narrative.
For every clip of that day (which would have barely been a story without the manufactured hype) that shows any violence or potential danger caused by the assembled Trumpers…and yes, there are a handful of those…there are hundreds of clips showing people basically on vacation, being waved in by Capitol police to wander and be set up later.
I find people that think that was an “insurrection” quite amusing.
But you keep playing the Maddow game if you like.
Majella feels emboldened again.
It is literally on tape, you fucking ween.
LOL.
There are people being sentenced to prison for strolling through the people’s house.
Exactly. The gall! This and arresting people for reading from the bible at pride parades and praying in front of an abortion clinic on a public sidewalk tell me that we are no longer living in a constitutional republic.
What I saw, Tom, was a whole bunch of elected people acting terrified. Like they had been caught doing something wrong. Looked more like a protest than a riot. And certainly not an insurrection.
They won’t even allow us to see the worst parts. which leads me to believe either there are no worse parts or that anything approaching actual rioting was done by police.
YEP.
Precisely right.
On Jan 06 AOC was terrified, hiding under her desk in a building the demonstrators never even entered. Apparently, the security guards in the hall frightened her with their loud door knocking.
The ass clown puppets installed to rule us lack courage as well as moral decency, intelligence, vision, integrity, et al. They are laughable.
Preston Brooks wouldn’t have hid under his desk…
hmuller, that brings up a key point of this mess. Who of sound mind would “vote” for someone who is obviously as dumb as a sack of hammers, and not once but repeatedly? If JHK ever gets tired of CFN perhaps he could rename the blog Sad Sack Nation.
At least recite the story she made up about the Maga mob chasing her down as she hid.
“Wheeere is she!!!”
I have a meme which shows elected people acting terrified, with a wider view which shows the ones who declined to act, sitting there calmly looking at their phones, while the others huddle in the aisle.
What a farce!
This “peaceful transfer of power” thing? A transfer implies an agreement between both parties. With mail in ballots, no voter id, and widespread reports of improprieties at the voting precincts why is it not to be assumed that the losing party would take exception? This was not a transfer, it was a taking. The occurrence at the Capitol was a disturbance. Nothing more. We have been put in our place (which is outside the Beltway) by our betters. I wonder what Tim Russert would have had to say about this whole sorry affair? I miss him. He seemed honest.
The trope you’re promoting is also ‘old and tired’…
Interesting nom de plume, WilliamShatnersPants. Maybe a little long. I’d go with “SpocksBrain”. LOL
What does getting under the desk do for you during an insurrection anyway?
in her ‘mind’ it was prolly like the end of the world – defaulted to a loosely remembered ’50s meme for nukular defenze – duck and cover was the first ‘though’ that floated into the sphere of her ‘attention’.
literally.
“Hiding under the desk” was not for her, it was for us.
Conditioned by 4 generations of “duck and cover”, “hiding under the desk” tells us that this was the most extreme – existential! – level of fear. That those on the other side are mindless killers.
What the fuck are you talking about, Tom?
That was a valuable addition to the dialogue. Thank you for your contribution to CFN this morning, RD3.
It was straight and to the point. Well done.
“…to say the J6 protesters were merely “strolling through” the capitol is a tad disingenuous.”
I think that is what RD3 is talking about.
If lo’ t thinks that January 6th was a threat to the rule of law in the US, then I think lo’ t is trying to throw napalm onto a grassfire.
The Democratic Party has a vision of “the Rule of Law” inspired by Pol Pot.
IMHO As does calling it an “insurrection”. 300 million firearms in America and Jan 6th was an “Insurrection”? Yeah right;, Ms. Madcow…
Jim,
Great post as usual. Thanks for covering the grinding on of our legal and political systems as their respective minions continue to defile this country. And thank you for mentioning when somebody actually gets something right. Maryellen Noreika and Matt Gaetz got something right and it should be noted. Hopefully their examples encourage others to do the same.
Sad to say, but the majority will vote against Trump if afforded an easy way to vote. “…if you can keep it.” never rang truer.
JHK writes great prose, but the MSM creates great effluent. Cream isn’t the only thing that rises to the top.
jcp
That was the comment by Nikita Khrushchev, answering someone who asked why a known incompetent & crook had been promoted to a high position in the hierarchy: “Shit floats to the top.”
Present company was evidently excepted.
This post is Wishful Thinking. The Republicans are not going to impeach Biden, but they will use the lie that they’re about to impeach to raise money. They always lie about being true conservatives, and make big promises to fundraise, and never follow through. I like this site, but it is sad when the author goes off course. One such post said, in essences, “The Russian’s are going to win the war in Ukraine, which means that the US dollar will immediately crash”. That’s not comparing apples and oranges, that’s apples and Volkswagens. Another post was devoted to this amazing Kennedy challenging Biden–his challenge is going nowhere, of course. I wish Mr. Kunstler would stick with reality, and post about things that are actually likely to happen, instead of about things he wishes would happen, but are wildly unrealistic.
Because no one at all has done anything at all to fix the problem with mail-ballots (ie just get rid of them) that means the 2024 election will be a photo finish repeat of 2020.
Which means whoever the demons decide to run will win.
Period.
Well, of course. I don’t know why anyone would expect 2024 to be any different than 2020 when the same players are in the game. Come on, man!
The same players are in the game, but the spectators are getting wise to them.
That is why we need the impeachment, and the trial of Grifter Biden, Jr.
Paula D,
As long as Kevin McCarthy is running the Republican House, there will be no serious impeachment of “JB” (Obama). Not. Gonna. Happen. McCarthy is as “establishment” as it gets and no amount of internet coverage will change anything. He will protect those who really run things.
I can’t help wondering whether, even as recently as a decade ago, there would not have been demos about one or another of the intolerable situations we are facing in this country.
But now basically few even think of demonstrating or protesting—except for tranny rights and other insanity.
Nothing big, like the Iraq War protests.
Because we know we’ll be hauled up as insurrectionists of some kind if we act on our right of free assembly.
@Islander
Yes, we have become very well trained puppies!
I expect 2024 to be different from 2020.
No election.
(No difference either, just a continuation of the same trajectory.)
dilbert113, even JHK, a much beloved and admired wordsmith, must feel compelled to throw his rabid followers sufficient red meat semi-weekly to ‘feed the chooks’ (as a well-known Australian politician used to say).
Australian chickens are fed red meat?
I’m a townie, of course, so what would I know? But the metaphor is rather diluted in the mixing.
There is an irony here which Mr Sherman will likely never grasp.
He expects freedom of speech to act the troll wherever he goes. He also no doubt believes the social media moguls in collusion with the Biden regime should censor who disagree with the official propaganda.
People like Mr Sherman take advantage of our tolerance for diverse thought to promote a dystopia of tyranny and brutality. Is he a paid troll or a true believer in building a globalist, nightmare slave society?
NYC right now is experiencing the consequences of deciding to become a sanctuary city.
“Every single one of the eight Democrats running for mayor vowed to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, solidifying the Big Apple’s often infamous status as a “sanctuary city.””
https://nypost.com/2021/06/02/next-mayor-wants-nyc-to-be-even-more-of-a-sanctuary-for-illegals/
Mayor Adams, who is stupid, is finally throwing in the towel on the idea.
Incredibly, RFK Jr. is praising him and making stuff up to excuse him. just as he did with Joe Biden and the wide open border:
“The idea of sanctuary cities was to protect migrants from ICE raids. But no city can manage endless floods of migrants pouring through an open border. Kudos to
@NYCMayor
Adams for his honesty.”
https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1700222838588784791?s=20
If you click the link you will see that I didn’t leave out the part where RFK says “secure the border”. Border security” is code. I will leave it up to you to figure it out, or not.
Bobby’s statement about what a sanctuary city is supposed to be, reminded me of the Goldie Hawn character in Private Benjamin saying she thought she was joining that other army.
No, as sanctuary for those illegally crossing the border is what they asked for, and it is what they got, in spades (OMG was I rayciss?).
Adams, and others, such as the harridans on The View, are acting like 5th graders- “That’s not FAY-UR!”
I love that line in Private Benjamin, as she’s walking around in a circle in the rain! Having been in the army myself, I can appreciate it!
I saw Adams’ hissy fit clip and really enjoyed it. He’s upset 10,000 a month are coming to a city of millions but will be completely unconcered with illegal immigrants if a law can be passed that mandates they stay in TX or any other border state, hopefully forever.
I think Kennedy is trying in some ways to placate the left and not challenge their obvious hypocrisy about open borders but he’s going to have to pick a side. A friend was saying there’d be no problem if they would just issue work permits to them and they could become “productive, contributing members of the community.” Okay. So do they get to keep getting all the free food, lodging, and medical care? It’s a mess and out of control and won’t be fixed.
I remember years ago when my hospital bill for a normal, uncomplicated childbirth came to $10,000…
and illegal immigrants in our area were getting not only all the hospital expenses for childbirth, but all the preceding months of clinical prenatal care added in, too, for a GRAND TOTAL of $200…
And though I was very pro-immigrant at the time and very sympathetic to their plight — in fact, I was a volunteer at the community clinic that served them — I nevertheless couldn’t help having the nagging thought: “WHO is paying for this? All the rest of us, that’s who!!”
“…there’d be no problem if they would just issue work permits to them and they could become “productive, contributing members of the community.”
Ummm, yeah there would be a problem… You already have “productive, contributing members of the community” – or they would be if you would just give them the jobs you reserve for aliens.
White people are too damn welcoming and forgiving. Where did we learn that suicidal nonsense?
The only two relevant questions:
How do we smash and dismantle the surveillance state?
How do we remove the 200 million people from this country that don’t belong here?
You can’t at this point, I think.
Parallel society. States band together and real opposition then exists.The rest involves individual acts of defiance, such as not complying with mandates, not using digital services, etc.
Simply putting up road blocks, as more powerful opposition takes shape.
If we don’t get ready for hundreds of years of slavery.
“If we don’t get ready for hundreds of years of slavery.”
I’m doubtful this can be avoided without divine intervention.
I’m doubtful on its punctuation.
“If we don’t get ready for hundreds of years of slavery” … then what?
A completely useless comment.
Or, perhaps, more meaningful than you realize, RD3.
A missing comma. You are truly impressive, Zonklet.
OK, Zilch Nada. Like there is not more context to it than me being a Q wannabe. You’re so lame, little man.
I read what you wrote at the end of last thread.
You want me banned for engaging with One Solo while, apparently, he’d get off scot-free for (his 50% responsibility of our offence of discussing Lahaina) while Islander mindlessly guesses that JHK does not know what’s going on at his CFN.
I am challenging the board to the truth while holding you accountable for weasel-like and Blanky-clinging childlike behaviour. (We are at war, after all.)
Predictably, the weasels and the Blanky-clingers are riled up.
More caps and unreadable text, Zonk.
It really highlights your sanity.
There will be divine intervention, and it won’t be “nice.” Jesus said, “Think ye I am come to bring peace on the earth?”
I think it was Rick James
We are becoming Ukraine! The whole war over there is because when the US sponsored the overthrow of the democratically elected Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, the 2 Donbass republics (DPR and LPR) stood up and said NO WAY. They refused to recognize the falsely installed puppet regime friendly to the US/EU. These 2 republics were subsequently attacked, relentlessly, for 8 years (!) until Russia stepped in in 2022 to protect the primarily Russian peoples in the DPR and LPR. The point here is that the people, the citizens of the DPR and LPR would not accept the fake “election” and went to war over it. What did the US people/citizens do with the obvious fake election of 2020? Nothing! Lots of armchair name calling and the like but we did nothing of consequence. We cowardly accepted the “JB” (Obama) regime. Until 1 or more states stand up to the lawless Federal govt thugs, nothing will change. We need state leaders like those of the 2014 DPR and LPR regions of Ukraine to tell the US govt thugs NO. The people/citizens of those states then need to either get on board and support their states against the Feds or move out to another state, subservient to the lawless Feds. It’s really that simple. We either fight back or get on our knees because the lawless thugs in power ain’t going to start playing nice.
UN-OUT: This might be an appropriate place to slip in a timely and revealing linky commenting on ways to wriggle out of the great war to protect democrazy in Mittel-Europa. It is doubly interesting because it appeared in an ironclad warmongering newsgroup I subscribe to: “Real Clear Defense”.
Oh sure:

Speaking of Ukraine, the people who chose not to stay and defend their way of life (whatever that is) might get big mad if we don’t care about their country more than they do.
“Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/09/zelensky-threatens-to-terrorize-europe.html#more
I ask you, is that nice? What are we, the chambermaids who need to respond to the guests who hung one of those ‘clean this room up immediately’ signs on the door as they left for a day’s recreation?
We are supposed to care more about Ukraine than Ukrainians do, and we are supposed to take care of illegal border-crossing criminals over ourselves and the needy of our own country.
Short man gonna short man.
I believe it is fair to say that the Ukraine action is the final battle of World War Two. As such, it should not be abandoned but pursued to success.
You rooting for the Nazis this time, Mike?
We can’t. But the tribulation will.
Exactly.
Easy answer to both of those questions RD3. Secession! Once the dollar is gone there will be no reason to have a USA anymore. It won’t make any sense when people come to understand that no competent and honest people exist in the federal government in any way. There’s no reason to have a government that’s proven to be incapable of running a nation. There’s no reason to vote because no qualified candidates will be available in the first place.
I don’t see it. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
No group/county/state, etc. will be allowed to go its own way. Slave technocracy from the top down, enforced by machines, robots, AI and brutal, low-IQ sycophants.
After the dollar is gone what can possibly keep all this nonsense going? If the feds cannot pay people with dollars that have no value – why would anyone continue working for them? Nobody works for free. What would possibly motivate them?
@ Woodchuck:
What will people do when the feds can no longer pay them?
They’ll find somebody who can. That’s the scary part.
“How do we remove the 200 million people who don’t belong here?”-RD3
There is a fanatical offshoot of the Climate Change movement, working at high levels within the UN, WEF, IMF, and dozens of NGOs, consisting mostly of academics, activists, and social scientists, who are advocating for depopulation; that is, reducing the world population from 8 billion to 3 billion, which they see as necessary to ‘Save the Planet’. They basically want to liquidate 5/8s of humanity in order to save humanity. These people are serious, they have power, and they are not trying to hide their goals either. Who needs to be wiped out? Why “the Global North”, those who consume the most, and emit the most carbon — you and me essentially. If these true believers get their way in the US, it won’t be 200 million people who don’t belong here who will be removed, but the 150 million who do belong here.
Apparently after that’s done Climate Utopia will ensue.
3 billion? guidestones had another amount.
like 500 million?
One thing that’s not clear is how are they going to do it, and who will live and who will die? If somehow they could exterminate all Whites you’re talking less than 1 billion people. An obvious target for more population culling would have to be India (1.4 billion) and China (1.3 billion). Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria & Pakistan have huge populations as well. These countries might object to Globalists demands that they commit mass suicide for the purpose of bringing global temps down 1.5°C by 2100. Look how citizens in Ceylon reacted after their government initiated farming practices mandated by the Paris Climate Accord and food invariably ran short; they sacked the Capitol.
I would predict if WEF/UN extermination squads, modelled after SS Einsatzgruppen, show up in Florida, they can expect some resistance. ‘Florida Man’ will not go down easy.
Keep in mind that they can transmit three one-minute bursts of a frequency of 18GHz and all those jabbed in the vicinity of that tower will have their hydrogel nano lipid particles rupture then burst to deliver their payload of Marburg and Ebola and e.coli and HIV and …
They thought of everything, Heckler.
That’s why they were so very adamant that all US Military got jabbed. The US Military were a wild card. Now, they are the first to drop. The open border has provided North America with its occupying forces. UN-led, no doubt.
Blue helmets.
“[…] and all those jabbed in the vicinity of that tower will have their hydrogel nano lipid particles rupture then burst to deliver their payload of Marburg and Ebola and e.coli and HIV and …”
Only those who took Pfizer or Moderna have been injected with LNPs. The other two used an adenovirus vector. Lots of Brits (including myself) had AstraZeneca in early 2020. When the UK government started to shove AZ down the memory hole and move to Pfizer, AZ was passed on to developing countries. I believe it was also used in Canada from the start – maybe Australia and NZ too? Also India, which was manufacturing for AZ.
So, while, all the compounds are toxic in various ways, only people who took Prizer and Moderna have been subjected to LNPs. Any that I have were kindly donated by my husband, via shedding.
In the UK – apart from NHS and care home staff who got Pfizered before AZ was approved – the only people who received LNPs are (a) those who went beyond the first 2 AZ doses and got the Pfizer booster and (b) people, mostly under a certain age, who were advised to take Pfizer, rather than AZ because people were aware of blood clots from AZ (not that Pfizer didn’t do the same thing, but the word wasn’t out). That may include at least one of my daughters.
Hopefully your own son got AZ?
I recall seeing commoners swimming in the presidents pool in Ceylon oops sri lanka.

= how many billion? 4? billion????
even if ony 10% of india and china move to USA we as a nation are ruined.
You are correct, GA. Canada started with AZ early in 2021. Most people that I know had 1 or even 2 AZ shots before Canada then became a Pfizer shop. My son and daughter both avoided the jabbings earlier on but then each took a couple of Pfizer shots to travel and go to university, respectively.

Interesting side-note: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in conjunction with the University of British Columbia, is a patent-holder and, as such, receives royalties for every nano lipid particle sold worldwide.
Whites are only about 7% of the world’s population and falling rapidly.
Caucasian is a broader category of course and the Southern Caucasians are not threatened with extinction as we are.
Fuck me OG, is there NOTHING you won’t believe?

“Keep in mind that they can transmit three one-minute bursts of a frequency of 18GHz and all those jabbed in the vicinity of that tower will have their hydrogel nano lipid particles rupture then burst to deliver their payload of Marburg and Ebola and e.coli and HIV and …“
Jarek says that only 7% of the global population is ‘white’ (which remains undefined) and is, of course, incorrect:
“However, the 5 percent of the world population that inhabits North America in no way reflects the racial mix of the world, in which only 16 percent are white. That’s about 1.19 billion people out of a total world population of 7.4 billion. And it’s predicted that by 2060 only 10 percent of the world will be white.” (Rutland Hearld)

It’s probably accurate to say that transference is taking place, and that’s it’s Kunstler, not Biden, who’s become a doddering old fool instead of the classy and prescient writer I once admired. What the hell happened to you, James?
Actually, you should take some time to reflect on your own mindset.
You seem to be unable to accept the obvious societal and economic collapse going on all around you, or maybe you’re simply an ardent supporter of the ultra-leftist agenda and you really enjoy seeing the outright grift, third world persecution of the opposition party, the genital mutilation of children, unchecked invasion at the border, insane inflation, etc.

The term you’re looking for is projection, not transference.
I don’t know Mr. Kunstler or Biden but I do recognize a coherent sentence when I read it or hear it. To refresh your memory, you might like to watch Biden’s inspiring speech to the people in Maui or yesterday’s performance in Vietnam where his staff had to shut him up.
I want to hear more about that cat endangered by the Biden family kitchen fire. That’s what happens when you let Hunter cook meth unsupervised.

James Howard: Truly superb prose. You are the only author I have ever encountered with such sustained ability to take complex societal events, analyze, assign sequences as needed, identify central players AND their role (s) then presenting a concise summary that even a simpleton as myself can mentally grasp. Thank You.
This will be an impeachment of what now passes as “America”. A country is defined by the connection the inhabitants have, the strength and willingness to sacrifice for the countries vigor. We have no such group needed to sustain the notion that “America” exists. Divided by ethnicity, politics, social status (pay taxes – take said money) and now allowing a small minority’s mental illness to be utilized by the new Herr goebbles propaganda team to open a new schism between tribes. MAGA really stands for “ Maybe a generation ago”. That was the cutoff whereby there were still individuals who would willfully address these treasonous actions with direct action. We now dither about events that would have immediately triggered arrest, impeachment, death. The last in reference to Killer cuomo.

For those who say”god will judge and punish these evil satanists, so I don’t need to” for anyone with a logical brain you realize there is no god, satan, heaven, hell. It’s on you to mete out “justice” for wrongs which DIRECTLY effect you.
For the Bible thumpers, explain to me a just merciful god in the context of these bible passages.

There is justice and there is mercy. He says, “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.” and “My thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways.”
The Israelites were, at the outset, ungovernable as was & is now the case with mankind in general. Cherry picking Scripture without leading of the Holy Spirit is a fool’s exercise. How would “getsome” edit his selected passages mentioned @11:23?
Deuteronomy 28: v14 and v-15 is a remains current; more than we might like.. America will convulse through the rest of this decade; if we include cursing Israel as is our current drift, there is adequate Scriptural warning of the consequences: Curse Israel and you shall be cursed.
Let us see if that is true…American Constitutional redress is available including the tools to remove elected officials by legal means, up to use of force as evidenced with the Second Amendment placed where it is. Impatience urgings to not employ every and all peaceful means to cleanse government goes beyond the Constitutional framework crafted by our Founding officials (at risk of hanging by the British).
Thumping underway, this writer has conviction Abe Lincoln, known as a Biblically literate man, could be called “The Railroad President”, in context of his understanding of existential need for the cross-continent railway project to assure robust binding of the Union of States. To include Scripture, please see Daniel 4 v-15, “Bands of Iron” assuring the “Great Tree” does not perish (a type of America in modern era scheme of human affairs).
Our esteemed pagemeister has more on the railway matter for future discourse. Touched upon in his seminal THE LONG EMERGENCY -now in progress.
I personally believe there is a God, but I can’t say I care if you don’t; believe what you wish. Your argument is a childish one and begins with the absurd assumption that you can look with the eyes of God. If there is a God, he has the whole picture and you have the point of view of a toddler whining about the constraints placed on him by a wise adult. If there is a God, he’s beyond your understanding.
Ex 21 7 11. Selling your daughter. He is restricting their liberty to dispose of her.
20 21. He is limititing the barbarity of their primitive law.
Luke 12:47 48 not seeing any problem here considering the era.
Duet 21 … I think your problem is you don’t understand God takes you where your at. So in a primitive society like say Rome even, where they had slaves etc. God is limiting their barbarity with His law.
Deut 21 has no 28 etc.
Just a guess of course.
People actually think that having two arms, two legs, and one head qualified you as a potential America, that and the willingness to work hard. But for what?
To establish greater Bharat (India)? To establish Aztlan? To extend the House of Peace by making War on the West (Islam)? For the One World State and Green Tyranny?
Countless White women work with tremendous energy and ability to overthrow our Republic. Are they American? In what sense? They think our history is racist and patriarchical, right? So in what sense?
You might enjoy today’s ZeroHedge article about feminist rage at American men opting for foreign brides over the shrill, angry domestic variety.

I knew it!
I saw your type in Thailand, Hogg man.
I’ve only known of two American men who married foreign women. Rather than write a novel here about the mental illness, constant threats of suicide, and stealing large sums of money from the wife, suffice to say that neither of these guys were very desirable.
I watched those videos on Zerohedge, and I noticed the narrator made quite an issue of the injustice of American women (versus foreign women) expecting men to be the breadwinner support the family. Actually, the opposite is true. Most American women expect to have careers and share in being breadwinners. It is the traditional wife who expects the husband to be the breadwinner.
Anthea – a co-worker of mine, an unimaginably wonderful older woman – early 70’s, tells me – “Rather than trying to be like a man, I’d rather spend my time trying to be the best woman I can.” God she’s wonderful.
Ron,
I’ve always liked this quote from Marilyn Monroe:
“I don’t mind living in a man’s world, as long as I can be a woman in it.”
Then again, living in a man’s world cost her dearly.
@ Ron Anselmo:
I am actually an ultra-feminine type and never had any desire to “be like a man,” though I think that most women, at least when they’re young, are envious of the freedom men have. Back in the sixties and seventies, a teenage girl or young woman was constantly being reminded of where she could and couldn’t go, what she could and couldn’t do, and whom she could and couldn’t do it with.
I used to roam the woods as a kid, but there came a time when my mother informed me that I shouldn’t be wandering around independently, because I had to think of my reputation. I was informed that I shouldn’t ride my bicyle around the neighborhood, since doing this (or most any other kind of physical exercise) was “weird,” if you were a girl. My dad used to take side jobs in construction on the weekends, and sometimes he would take my brother with him. I wanted to do this too, but was not allowed to. (I think this was partly because there was vulgar language at construction sites, but also because my dad would have looked silly bringing his daughter along.) If you were a young woman who wanted to travel–usually because you were eager to get away from your home town of BFE (Bum-Fuck Egypt) at the intersection of Tobacco Road and the railroad tracks–this was considered both unsafe and unseemly.
Meanwhile, the guys were joining the military and going off to foreign lands, or traveling around the country in a VW bus, or even hitchhiking around the country. Here the guys were going places, doing things, and having fun, and here I was, taking a class in bobby-pin tatting at Aunt Elsie’s house. I suppose the late teens and early twenties are years in which the world has kind of a grim visage, for both girls and boys. You imagined that once you got out of high school you’d be “free at last,” and instead you were working at the lumber yard or as a file clerk. But women do tend to think the men get much more freedom.
In some ways, that’s as it should be. A young woman is like a person with a suitcase full of diamonds chained to her wrist. Her family will be reluctant to let her wander the woods alone, hitchhike to California, attend a rave, join a motocycle gang, or hop in a van with a band of musicians. They’d rather keep her and her diamonds at home, sewing samplers under watchful eyes.
Possibly the hardest thing to bear about being a woman is that you are under so many restraints, merely by virtue of being a very high-value person.
I suppose another thing that’s hard to bear is learning the hard way that there are a lot of people who will stop at nothing to get hold of those diamonds.
Anthea – I haven’t read you wrong. The lady I mention above – I imagine that you and she are cut from nearly the exact same cloth. I know you only from your comments and the wisdom and insight you have, and so freely offer.
She is very similar. I’ve had many substantial, deeply rewarding conversations with her – you two have many of the same thoughts and values. Truth told, God you’re wonderful too.
Both your families are fortunate to have such strong, wise, capable and insightful women. I imagine you, like she, will pass that wisdom and guidance down to the younger generations – your kids and grands, as she calls them.
They’re our best chance and we in turn, are responsible for giving them the chance they deserve. It’s difficult, but we’re up to the task. We just need to put our heads down, put the blinders on and stay hard at work.
Men who can have any woman they please, but unfortunately they can’t seem to please any woman at all in America.
It’s the woman’s fault. Sure.
Even the Golden Golem of Greatness had to reach out to Slovenia to find a decent wife. I knew that love-hate relationship with Rosie O’Donnell would never work out. (Though I give her credit for speaking more truth about 9-11 than Trump or RFK Jr. ever will.)
I spent 5 years of military service in Korea. I knew about 100 servicemen married to Korean women. I never met one happily married.
I don’t entirely blame the women. They are what their culture made them – seeking a secure financial life thru marriage. The man thinks he’s getting an obedient, loving sex kitten. The woman thinks she’s getting a bottomless pot of money.
Inevitably, both are disappointed.
Western women are largely ruined because of Feminist culture – thus women bringing 80% of the divorce. So big picture – yes, women’s fault.
@ Jarek:
Luckily, you are–and doubtless always will be–safe from the fatal attentions of women.
Where you ever attracted by any man? Or were you too busy feeling how precious you were?
That’s exactly the case with modern women too. Traditional women are taught humility. Thus you were never traditional in the real sense.
Hey James,
You’ve attracted far too many lunatics. Either genuine or NSA contrived, it doesn’t matter.
Keep writing, because I do enjoy your perspective… but OMG. If there is a way to squelch the “look how stupid his readers are” comments… find a way.
Maybe a technical mechanism can be instituted in the CFN comment-posting process whereby you can approve, squelch or deny everyone else’s “free speech” in order to protect our little brains from lunatic thoughts.
[Hint: JHK does not seem to take to posters’ orders well (and doubly so posters ordering the squelching of others’ First Amendment rights).]
The American-constitution solution to speech that you disapprove of is not to call it “crazy” and have it banned. No, it is your mandate to counter it with logic, facts and reason. IMHO, you should get with the program. It is a good program.
Also, keep in mind, many through history were called “crazy” before ultimately being proven ahead of their time and correct. It would be a shame to execute your throw-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater strategy on the off-chance that CFN is hosting such a thinker today, imho.
If you didnt post 100 comments in three days, no one would care.
But you do, and most of them are the ravings of a certified loon.
Yes, I have posted much about Lahaina as we zero-in on the truth of what happened on 8/8. I will not apologize for that. As for your tiresome insult: “Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
***
You claim that my comments make CFN difficult for you (a known weasel) to read yet I see your problem as there is not enough participation on the myriad topics that I do not touch. If those kites caught updrafts, you could scroll by me and Gus and read others. As it was, Gus & I were indeed in the Centre Ring yesterday.
Now I’m sure who JCP is.
I look forward to your bans, as always.
Dream on, little man.
You have no First Amendment rights on this blog.
I respectfully disagree, Islander. I believe that we are exactly afforded our First Amendment rights here on CFN.
I believe that JHK hosts CFN for that very reason. I believe that CFN is a wonderful real-world social-experiment laboratory of our cherished First Amendment rights.
Some can handle the heat while others (i.e. MQ) get out of the kitchen.
Yeah, where is the QAnon Queen?
She rage-quit a few days ago.
JHK respects freedom of speech more than YouTube does. Just don’t get started on the Jews.
Islander says this with ferocious satisfaction, a born commissar.
So where do we have First Amendment rights then? Nowhere it would seem. The banned the soap box speakers in Picadilly. So not there either.
It’s getting boring for me to read about Pie-den pooh, this and that DC Lawyer, or this Senator or that Secretary of squat.

It’s all whining victimhood and jingoistic rallying.

Never forget the day before Americans gave it all away, for “security”.
I read that the Patriot Act was actually written during the Reagan administration.
They just needed the right circumstance to roll it out.

Russia has a real 1000 year old culture and a real history – they’ve got plenty to remember. We on the other hand have a fake plastic culture and a fake history promoted by academia that most of us have bought into. It will take a bit of time to discover that what we bought was really just a pile of junk.
What would Fonzie do?
What’s Henry Winkler got to do with this?
Not Henry Winkler. Fonzie. It was a comment on American culture.
Fonzie would comb and slick back his greasy hair and jump on his new bike that gets 180 mpg and go riding somewhere. Most everyone else will be walking because they’ve lost the resources to continue driving. Fonzie will always be cool no matter what happens.
Jump The Shark. We did .
Russia dates its birth to A.D. 988, the baptism of Prince Vladimir of Rus’ in the Dnieper at Kiev. Vladimir urged his subjects to likewise convert to Christianity, and thousands of them did. THIS EVENT — a mass embrace of Christianity — is what is considered by Russians the founding of their nation. And it’s been there for 1,000 years. (Ignore for the moment the 20th-century fluke that declared the birthplace of Russia to be not-Russia now.)
Ponder what a different culture and history this is.. Try to put good or bad out of your mind, and just ponder how DIFFERENT from 250-year-old, secular America.
The Russian alphabet is called Cyrillic because it was invented by two Christian missionaries, Saints Cyril and Methodius, the Greek-born “Apostles to the Slavs,” who evangelized the Slavic regions in the late 800s. The alphabet has changed over the last 1,100+ years, but the basic bones of the alphabet used by all Russians, Belorussians, Ukrainians, Serbs, and Bulgarians today date to St. Cyril (Kirill) and his brother Methodius.
There were millennial celebrations in Russia in 1988, even when it was still part of the communist Soviet Union. Even the communists had to recognize the Christian origin of Russia in 988.
In the Russian language, Saturday is Sybbota = “Sabbath.” In other Slavic languages, the word is very similar. But the word for Sunday in Russian is unique to Russian alone, not shared by any of the other Slavic languages — it is Voskreseniye = “Resurrection.” In the 1920s and ’30s, the Bolsheviks tried to abolish Saturday and Sunday — Sabbath and Resurrection. After 11 years, they finally had to give it up. Turns out, even Bolsheviks couldn’t stomp Resurrection out of Russians.
Just worth pondering.
You have the most interesting posts. Thank you.
Nice work, Heartander
And, do not gloss over that Donald Rumsfeld used 9/10 to publicly disclose that $2,300,000,000,000 was missing from the Pentagon from the Pentagon.

“ He (they) can do a lot more damage in the many months leading up to January, 2025,”
The damage done. How bad does it have to get? This is always the question for a country seeking to eject Communists. How much worse will a society allow things to degrade before the people at kick them out of power?
Often right after communists take over a country horrific famines occur that kill millions of people. I think we’ll have the very same experience here in the USA, we’re certainly vulnerable enough. The big difference between the US and most all of the other nations is that we have an extraordinary number of firearms here and probably have a lot of people who won’t hesitate to use them when the right time arrives. Unfortunately what we’ll probably use them for mostly is to kill each other fighting desperately over food. I suppose our rulers will be just fine with that until we start turning all our weapons on *them* and start shooting everyone and anyone we might think might have had something to do with causing our pain.
That’s one possibility……..
True enough.
It’s all fun & games until the WEF Green Extermination Squad shows up in your town with a list of names and a mandate to liquidate 5/8s of the population … and your name is on the list.
Bills will be posted:
“The following Comrade-Citizens have been reported as ‘Deniers’ and will report to the HS gymnasium at 8:00 am, Sat. Oct 1 for remedial Climate Change education. Lunch will be provided.”
And that’s the last anybody sees or hears from you again.
“And that’s the last anybody sees or hears from you again.”
That’s one possibility all right. Yet another possibility is that the Green Teams that show up somehow dissapear and are later found to have been tortured to death in such ghastly and horrifying ways that other Green Teams sit back and wait a bit or quit.
I can see our Masters allowing us a little fun and games, but once we start defending ourselves against (“mostly peaceful”) burn, loot, ‘n’ murder, the party’s over. That’s when the Blue Helmets show up to “restore peace” – our Rainbow Warriors being tied-up (in many cases, literally – and getting spanked) in Ukraina and Taiwan.
Yesterday my husband was listening to a Lawyers for 9-11 Truth video, and then we read a Meryl Nash anti-WHO article, naming names and kicking butt.
I appreciate people who carry on against all odds, and who do not give up the fight for justice.
It has been 22 years, but the Truthers continue to fight. The Architects and Engineers group is still filing FOI requests, and trying to get a court to step up.
I consider JHK to be in the group of people who will not give up advocating for justice, no matter how many people are ready to snivel and give up.
Thank you, Mr. Kunstler..

Thanks, Q. I’ve heard both my whole life but will concede to your authority.
dead or ?
Dead or alive. If alive, where? Trafficked? Celine Dion does need her adren0chr0me, after all.
If dead, why, 5 weeks after the 8/8 Lahaina fire, does Google report this today (9/11):
Three weeks after the fire devastated Maui’s historic seaside community of Lahaina, the count of the dead stands at 115.?
The Lahaina fire stinks to high heaven.
….grind slowly, but grind fine
Yes, and like all crimes and lies and graft of the powerful they will be revealed, catalogued, documented, mentioned, and perhaps attributed, and like a fine powder they will disappear with the winds of time
Unless they put up an 8′ fence, of course. We’ve been told that an 8′ fence prevents wind from blowing fine powder around. [Some Weisenheimers even believe it!]
Bastards were too cheap to go with 12′.
Actually, it was such a top-priority that they built it at 8′ for 5+ miles asap but are now doubling back to extend its height to 12′.
12′ is higher than wind, it seems. Go Science!
Well, we know for sure they can construct massive walls if they want to, anyway. Not enough dust coming across from old Mexico, evidently.
100th Avatar – love the saying. You have many comments that are thought-provoking, appreciated. Thanks.
Again, love your insight, but only if “they” refers to “the powerful”, not to the “crimes and lies and graft”?
We can work towards both, I hope.
One of my favorite quotations: Alexander Solzhenitsyn
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
That is chilling wisdom. Take heed.
Ask Paula what she thinks of Solzhenitsyn.
Who is ‘Paula’?

My only problem with this piece is the “Generally Accepted Knowledge” that the J6 trials and incarcerations were / are REAL. By “REAL” I must ask: Where are the “fact checkers” investigating all these convicts and / or their families or questioning the whole legal 3 ring circus surrounding the “convictions” and “incarcerations” From the research I’ve done many (if not all) of the “convicts” are apparently military or intelligence actors / plants. Why would the deep state send their own people “up the river”? Seems to me the J6 “trials ” were / are false flag events serving the multiple propaganda purposes. It has already been reported that Congress Critters trying to visit their constituents “in prison” have been turned away. The whole J6 drama smells as bad as the Epstein “suicide” by toilet paper caper.

From Jeff Childers (the Coffe & Covid blog guy) this morning:
“Novak ‘No-Vaxx’ Djokovic was also the only unvaccinated player at the tournament. Even non-tennis fans have heard of him because of his jab stance. It made international news when the Australians unceremoniously arrested and deported Djokovic in 2022. In March of this year, Governor DeSantis tried to help Djokovic get to the Miami Open using a loophole in Biden’s federal jab requirement for entry: it didn’t apply to boats.
But Djokovic didn’t want to use a loophole. It was the principle. It was his body. He didn’t want to come play unless the mandate was dropped. So he missed TWO successive championships. The record-holding player told a BBC interviewer, ‘The principles of decision making on my body are more important than any title or anything else.'”
NOVAX is the GOAT!
Well, the president did not show deference to the 9/11 memorial. The spirituality of the USA is dying
Why would he? He knows the true story.
It got his Patriot Act pushed through, within weeks.
Well, they had to use the anthrax to get a couple of recalcitrant Congress critters onboard, but then it passed easily.
I’m sure that Biden holds private ceremonies with Cheney, Bolton, and the others, where they drink adrenochrome and celebrate their victory over the American people and Constitution.
No doubt.
Isn’t that the purpose of the SOTU?
You’re right Dis – so instead of deference, he shows disdain – same as he did on the day of 9/11/21.
*9/11/01* – twice I’ve done that – WTF is wrong with me? A glitch.
“Great effluent” in vast, ubiquitous quantities.
H/T on your comment.
Weirdness. I can’t find the comment that was the object of my compliment. It just ended up randomly posting here.
Okey-dokey….
I hate it when that happens.
“Anyway, the actual issue is not whether it’s politically advantageous to lay off “Joe Biden,” but the irrefutable fact that he (and the shadowy figures running his regime) are wrecking the country.”
What you call “wrecking the country” is in reality an ongoing COLOR REVOLUTION right here in AMERIKA, designed to RAM the once mighty USS CONSTITUTION at FULL SPEED into the biggest blowout this world has ever seen.
Whatever survives afterwards, (“You’ll be BROKE and HAPPY” – Klaus Schwab-WEF), WON’T include ANY of your so-called RIGHTS.
Imagine the BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION come home to roost right here …and YOU are the KULAKS.
Gawd Speed.
“…something has gone very wrong in our country…”
Below is a broad interpretation of what has gone wrong that I find quite persuasive. It is based on a brilliant 110 page analysis written by N.S. Lyons entitled China Convergence (2023).
His Historical Background
Back in the late 19th century, a managerial revolution arose in the U.S. occurring parallel to and building on the industrial Revolution. The mass and scale of organizational structures expanded dramatically back then with masses of workers moving to urban centers, laboring in huge factories and offices, with similar organizational changes taking place in government, education, and almost every other sphere of life. The end result was the mass bureaucratic state, the mass standing army, the mass media, mass public education, and so on.
This managerial revolution gave rise to a new managerial elite or social class who came to possess the highly technical and specialized knowledge skills necessary to run these institutions. This managerial elite than created its own managerial ideology with its present manifestation being wokeism.
In contrast to what was initially predicted by Marxists, that the bourgeoise would be threatened from below (by the laboring, landless proletariat) instead, the threat came from above, by this new order of the managerial elite and its legions of papers pushers.
This conflict was played out most dramatically on Jan. 6, 2021 when mostly members of the petite bourgeoise (the independent middle and working class including small, entrepreneurial business owners, multi-generational family shop owners, family farmers, small-land owners, etc) collectively protested the stealing of Trump’s electoral victory and found themselves in direct conflict with the political representatives (in both political parties) of this powerful managerial elite.
Thwarting mechanisms as levers of contemporary managerial, totalitarian control . . . (coming next).
One of the most overlooked of this managerial class phenomenon was how Henry Ford and the Rockefellers quietly re-wrote the U.S. educational system instruction format in order to get their laboring class herded into slots and chutes. The “updates” include Bill Gates’ ‘No Child Left Behind’ from GW Bush, and operators like Barack Obama’s full time private school advocate Arne Duncan.
What was previously a well-rounded classical education that opened many doors into the larger world (and possibilities) has been taken away as a result. And of course, the Owner class took and continue to take care of their own with private schooling.
A postscript to this is a lack of both civics instruction and knowledge of actual history, both of which are intentionally disempowering.
I agree.
Brits who disagree with “climate crisis” to be sent off to PRISON
naturalnews.com/2023-09-11-brits-disagree-climate-crisis-sent-to-prison.html
The British parliament sneaked through a sinister piece of legislation this week that would criminalize Brits for disagreeing with the “climate crisis.”
As one of its first orders of business following the summer recess, the government of the United Kingdom slipped in a “net zero” bill that, in effect, would make it a crime for someone in the UK to question whether or not man-made climate change is even real.
This feels kinda churchy-statey, no? Like Spanish Inquisition-type churchy-state.
Coming to the United States soon, I’m sure. Probably with Joe’s second term, like reparations. I don’t care how many are “disaffected” with him, those 81 million that voted for him the first time will vote for him the second time.
Lassitude spreads when not contained. The Deep State thrives on this. The gimme state is ever growing.
This will end badly…
“This will end badly…”
All republics end badly – that’s what history plainly shows us. The people who rule republics never abdicate or quit like some monarchs have done in the past. Only outside force or the complete breakdown and dissolution of the republic can force a republican ruler out of office.
For a certain large percentage of lost and depraved humans… the whole notion of ‘Justice’ just does not register. They don’t see it. They don’t want it. And if They did ever see it and know that it was there They would do everything in Their power to completely wipe it off the face of the Earth.
For the rest of us normal humans… the notion of Justice is woven into the deepest level of our souls. We understand and crave the concept of fairness… of ‘taking turns’ and ‘not cutting the line’. We believe in personal and societal Consequences and that we should be rewarded or punished based upon our personal actions and beliefs.
But the notions of Justice and Consequences is pretty much absent from the Political and Elitist and Corporate Classes. Most every person who joins that rogue group of primarily grifters has long-ago traded in their soul to the Devil of Privileged Life, personal wealth, and the accumulation of as much power as possible. Laying up Their Treasures on Earth and thinking that They can take all that with them when they get to the Subdivision of The Privileged within Heaven (is it likely there is even such a place? Kind of hard to believe that. I mean, was Saint Peter out to lunch and They all quickly snuck in before he got back?).
We the People want fairness and justice in our Institutions. And we see little to none of it, anywhere. Many of us have already given up on the idea that we will ever see any kind of justice anymore on this Planet. We want it… we need it… Society benefits from it… and it is being (and has been) erased right before our eyes.
No, the right idea is not to give up on Justice. Justice is the measuring stick by which we personally – and our Society collectively – should always be measured.
You don’t throw out the Measuring Stick because you have nothing good to measure. Instead, your bring Justice back in your own circle of Life. You live it… you treat others with it… you demand it from others. And you quit looking to those Institutions from whom Justice should be practiced and dispensed when They have no interest in the idea of Justice at all.
Institutions function on pledging your soul to harmful agendas of Others. The requirement of turning your back on fairness and the whole notion of Right-and-Wrong. Institutions cannot function when Justice is in The House.
In short, to achieve and possess Justice… never sell your precious soul to a process that is totally dedicated to your ruin. Justice is not found in some building or person of privilege somewhere. It is only found in the eyes that look back at you in Your Mirror.

– Matthew 5:3-14
The USA has been called
“A light on the hill”.
It is dimming quickly. God looks away and wants no part of this polluted mess.
After one falls out of favour with God, one wishes that He would simply look away. Sodom & Gomorrah Babylon is about to experience the Wrath of God.
anmari is correct. God is the only one who can help you, so call out His name.
What’s God’s name? Allah? Jesus? Jahweh? The Force? The Great Spirit?
Who we gonna call?
You must seek Him yourself, Woody. Do not worry – He understands each of us individually. He understands the Muslim, the Jew, the Christian, the Hindu and the Rastafarian.
And He understands you.
Seek and ye shall find.
Ghost busters.
Woodchuck
Who we going to call?
Right now, half the USA would say the government.
When that collapses, God is the next level, right?
There are no atheists in foxholes,
Or defunct countries.
One cannot have justice without truth, for justice based on lies is no justice at all.
So, the first requirement for dispensing justice is establishing the truth, yet there exists an endless army actively engaged in averting, inverting, and denying truth.
And that presupposes the hoi polloi are even interested and accepting of the truth, the truth being so often unbelievably horrifying, i.e., you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him acknowledge its existence and admit to its veracity.
KappaJoe: “One cannot have justice without truth… that presupposes the hoi polloi are even interested and accepting of the truth… you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him acknowledge its existence and admit to its veracity.”
A desire for Truth must indeed by necessity precede any fruitful path of discerning Truth… and then pursuing and dispensing Justice based upon those ‘truths’.
Truth in today’s Age for many has become like the ‘N’ word – something to be discarded as patently offensive from a prior unenlightened time. These such persons now believe truth is little but a sliding scale of personal whims, lusts, prejudices, feelings, and desires… ‘It’s MY Truth!’.
Truth tellers and Truth pursuers are today’ s pariahs. Only those who conform to State and Anti-social media norms and memes and narratives are viewed as having worth or status in such a twisted Societal Age as we find ourselves. Yet, there are many that wear that Pariah status as a badge of courage in an Age of Falsehood.
Truth does not exist due to or depend upon anything ‘human’. Truth is not created by human beliefs or intervention. Truth has an independent existence that Universe manifests all on its own. One then chooses to either find and rejoice in found truths or deny and pay those consequences of denial.
You can indeed lead a horse to water. And that horse might just discern truth way better than most humans today. Just another benefit of being a creature that doesn’t listen to State Media or gaze endlessly into a cellphone.
Thanks, RS, another wise post from you and much appreciated here in Dave’s World.
I heard it called “political theatre,” but never before had I realized what that meant as much as now. Thks for the update. I’m riveted to my Cdn seat.
Mike Yeadon destroys Steve Kirsch on “the virus.”
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1920699978
Gets hot starting about an hour in.
I really wonder how many of these so-called freedom fighters are here simply to push the agenda.
Kirsch a gatekeeper? Absolute amateur hour this guy.
I’d like to get McCullough and Yeadon in a room like this.
Open debate. It is a beautiful thing.
“It’s all a lie” –Yeadon
Indeed.
The Big Lie.
Open debate. It is a beautiful thing.
Adding: Unless I can’t win and showoff my big brain. Then I call those people “crazy” and beg that they be banned. You know? Exactly like a weasel. Identical.
Why were you banned three times?
Take your time with your answer.
Have you ever been banned – anywhere? Is that something to be proud of?
I was banned from a bar in Calgary and another one in Regina. Far from proud, these were stepping-stones towards my rock bottom.
I was talking to Zilch Nada.
You should be proud of this. They were stepping stones, firm footing from which to leap upwards. The bottom is better than the top for many. The world is upside down, spiritually speaking. One must be able to tip the hour glass from material to spiritual and back again a thousand times a day.
The spiritual is foolishness from the material pov. Of course one is higher – but the other is more practical and that’s important too.
Here it is on Rumble; starts at ca. 11:00.
httpX://rumble.com/v3dgm5m-vsrf-livestream-92-the-yeadon-files-former-pfizer-scientist-speaks-out.html
An ongoing issue with these discussions is that “covid” is used to refer to both the illness and the virus (and the “pandemic”). .
“Covid” refers ONLY to the illness caused putatively by virus X, which we were told was the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Covid-19 is the name of the ILLNESS, not THE VIRUS. I always suspected that “they” gave this illness a “brand” in order to confuse the public. But two nerds like Yeadon and Kirsch should be more careful.
The continual conflation of the disease/symptoms, which are concrete, with the specific virus, which we do not know concretely exists, just magnifies confusion.
It really muddies the discussion, and I am very surprised that both Yeadon and Kirsch conduct this confusing dialogue where they are using one term for the pandemic, the virus, and the illness with symptoms.
It is annoying.
It is IMO unscientific.
They also end up talking at cross purposes and we can’t get a clear answer to Kirsch’s question regarding his own illness. 54:06, Yeadon does not answer Kirsch’s rather obvious question, one asked my many here: What WERE the tests testing? Yeadon seems to say, NOTHING. Any association of pink lines with symptoms was random.
IMO that is not good enough.
At the same time Kirsch asks Yeadon to provide ballpark figures on, say, how many people might have died out of 1,000 who got the jab.
Without rigorous controlled experiments there is no way to know this.
I don’t know why Yeadon doesn’t say: “Steve, that is why RCTs are conducted: to establish this rate. So your question, our question, should be: Why are we reduced to guessing because no meaningful trieal were ever done with these jabs?”
Well, I don’t think Yeadon “destroys” Steve Kirsch in this interview. It is definitely a mixed bag.
Kirsch lets Yeadon speak for ca. 45 mins uninterrupted. Then Kirsch starts asking a few specific questions, at ca. 54:00. Yeadon comes across as very excitable after ca. 56: and doesn’t wait for Kirsch to finish speaking. Yeadon seems only to want to repeat his own main points but not to engage in a dialogue with Kirsch.
He keeps shaking his head and saying no, no. while Steve is speaking—which looks like an uncontrolled, emotional response, and quite rude, but also communicates a level of anxiety to listeners. Also—giving silly answers like “I lost interest in that quite early,” which does not answer Steve’s questions, such as to how a reasonable test of the PCR tests could be designed. He does not seem able to calmly listen to Steve’s questions and then discuss them calmly and put them in the context of his own preoccupations. But Steve’s questions are perfectly reasonable in light of the fact that his nonprofit is the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation.
Yeadon discounts as “detail by the side of the road” Steve’s suggestions as to how one might get to the bottom of some of the nuts and bolts—say, regarding the PCR test.Instead IMO Yeadon should be saying: Yes, these are the types of tests we need to do to nail down the multitude of scams that make up the whole operation. He should be willing to meet Steve halfway because Steven’s questions are valid and millions share them. Just airily waving them away is annoying to me. Eventually Yeadon did recount —very quickly—the technical aspects of manufacturing the tests, and why the speed with which they were produced was not realistically possible.
Yeadon only wants to talk about the Big Picture, He doesn’t seem to have thought about how the big Picture works. His responses to SK’s questions on that were, again, unfocused and all over the place.
1:05:00 Yeadon doesn’t answer SK’s question about the correspondence of Sanger (??) testing to illness. Yeadon again goes off into another generality but won’t focus on the specifics. Kirsch’s frustration is obvious.
Yeadon’s comment on 5G are pretty confusing. He says that 5G is needed. What could he mean? Yeadon just called smartphones satanic rectangles—a negative. Kirsch is confused. I think Yeadon means to say that “they” need 5G to complete their plan of total control. But Kirsch is confused, and rightly so. Because Yeadon is not focused and is jumping around.
Then he and Kirsch are speaking at the same time about the Internet, so more confusion.
I agree with most of what Yeadon says.
But Most people who are new to this subject matter will not be won over by Yeadon in this particular interview. He needs to breathe deeply, listen, and think before he speaks, and not keep shaking his head and saying no, no while Kirsch frames a question. It is Kirsch’s show and he is giving Yeadon a platform.
Yeadon does not state categorically that there is no virus causing illness. He keeps going back to the mortality statistics, but that does not answer the question.
He doesn’t seem to have given thought to exactly who, if anyone, is in charge of the conspiracy. So that comes across like generalized paranoia and not like a clear-eyed analysis of available evidence. Eventually he does mention the WEF and Gates, and the table games or whatever they are called.
He definitely did not “destroy ” Kirsch at all, IMO. At the end they acknowledge the seriousness of the situation, and that they are allies.
He destroyed Kirsch.
You have way too much invested in Yeadon.
Which is not to disagree with Yeadon or fight with him.
But you seem to be projecting adversarialsim where I do not see it. .
Pls indicate points in the interview where Yeadon “destroyed” Kirsch.
Kirsch gave Yeadon a platform for Yeadon to state his views, and for for dialogue.
IMO Yeadon stated his views but did not really “dialogue” with Kirsch.
I would be interested to hear others’ views on this interview. The Rumble URL is much easier to watch than the first one provided.
Kirsch was refusing to engage him on his points. When Kirsch didn’t have an answer he fired off random nonsense (such as the part about Mac addresses) to make Yeadon seem too out there for the discussion. Tossing every odd conspiracy at him.
He also kept looking around and behind him, looking disinterested, and more or less doing what one would expect of a gatekeeper. Got pretty bad in the last 30 minutes.
Doesn’t matter. He has a vibe, and that vibe is not good. This interview was very enlightening. There are clearly topics Kirsch won’t allow to be taken seriously–basically the idea that a novel deadly virus exists and that there is a global level conspiracy to put us in a digital plantation that we will never leave.
I have very little interest in Kirsch at this point, and McC and Malone are also somewhat suspect.
I’m a huge Yeadon fan, but I don’t think this was Mike’s finest hour.
I don’t blame him for doing the occasional less impressive interview. He’s done about 150 full-length interviews on this stuff. He deserves a medal. But the ’round table’ with John O’Looney, Sasha Latypova and Meryl Nass was much better, in my opinion.
I think people come over differently to different people. I sent a link to my daughter who repeatedly asks me not to mention this stuff because it freaks her out – it was Mike Yeadon speaking a while ago to the guy on Hearts of Oak. I thought it was a good interview – my daughter just saw someone making sensationalist assertions without any evidence. We’ve got a fight on our hands, even though we know we’re right. 🙁
I’ll have to listen to it again as I don’t even remember the MAC addresses! Maybe I nodded off or was otherwise distracted.
Watch the last 35 mins or so.
Yeadon speaks from the heart and has the background to delve into the scientific points.
Kirsch’s attitude toward him was as though he is some kind of wild-eyed tin-foiler.
The energy from him is so bad that one almost does not even need the audio.
Now why would Steve do that to Mike?
Let us ponder this.
“Yeadon speaks from the heart and has the background to delve into the scientific points. ”
Yes, Yeadon speaks from the heart.
In this interview he did not IMO deal clearly with scientific points. He came across as quite distracted and did not answer Kirsch’s questions coherently.
My sense of Kirsch was that he was frustrated by Yeadon’s not dealing with scientific points.
I know I was.
Kirsch did not refuse to engage Yeadon. It was Kirsch’s show, and it is normal for Kirsch to ask questions of his guest.
It is not reasonable for the guest to continually interrupt the host and keep shaking his head and saying no, no.
That was a weak performance.
It seems like any criticism of a particular interview is taken by you as an attack on Yeadon.
IMO it was also a weak response of Yeadon to say he didn’t want to cause dissension and then not answer a reasonable question.
He could easily have said: “This is an area on which I disagree with X.” And then explain his viewpoint.
I, too, don’t remember anything about Mac addresses.
But the segment of the interview about the internet was incoherent because both men were speaking at once.
Yeadon’s drifting off into talking about runners drinking too much water to explain the issue of doses was also an odd detour.
You are free to believe what you like.
There is virtually no science coming from the virus crowd.
They are perpetuating concepts that act as a distraction in the service of those who plan to enslave us.
No isolate. No tests. No unusuall mortality. A 99.9% survival rate even with multiple comorbidities. A “virus” that spread around the world in 3 months after they showed us the Wuhan Godzilla films.
You will piece it together at some point.
Yeadon could have clarified these issues on this podcast.
All he had to do was respond appropriately to Kirsch’s questions.
“You will piece it together at some point.”
No, we are talking about this interview.
Opportunities were lost because Yeadon was too emotional and unfocused to respond clearly to questions that many people are asking, including at this blog. Quite important questions.
Re “You will piece it together at some point,” eff off with your silly little superiority complex (kindly meant).
Ah, yes. “Superiority” because I ask for
–The isolate of “Covid-19”
–Proof that a PCR test (“the gold standard”) can detect “Covid-19” or any illness (Mullis said it cannot)
–Proof that a virus could spread around the world in a few months
–Proof that Wuhan Godzilla films were real
–Proof that “Covid-19” if shown to exist was deadly
Etc.
Where is it?
Oh, come on.
No. “superiority” because of your tone and putdowns.
I am sorry that I have not been able to convey to you why IMO Yeadon’s performance in this interview was weak, he did not “destroy” Kirsch, etc. This is not a loyalty test. His importance is not, or not only, “speaking from the heart” but actually explaining the scientific issues clearly, when asked to do so.
I do not need to piece together the big picture that this is some kind of worldwide plot. Come on.
What I, and I believe others, need is scientific info to get a clearer picture of the workings of the plot.
.
Putdown?
I pointed out that you gloss over obvious fraud.
Where is the isolate?
Why would you believe anything when they show you nothing?
Perhaps you will not figure it out.
Yesterday I reread Solzhenitsyn’s, ‘One Day in the Life of…’. In the front of the book they printed his speech to Congress or the UN or somebody. Essentially it said no matter what you do to me, you cannot hide the truth, I will gladly die for it.
None of us have done 8 years in the Gulag, yet. Some of us have had or seen the effects of the Hillary treatment vis a vis the jabs. Some have been to war. None starved yet though our countries have been complicit in others famine.

Also, don’t forget to add to this list – no toilet paper! Y’all are gonna be using old newspapers, rags, and corncobs! And after you’ve clogged all your toilets with stuff you’ll next be pooping in your back yards.
Mexico is too tightly connected to the USA. So, the effects of inflation, shortages and looming social disruption will simply be mirrored there as well.
As someone who essentially commutes back and forth, I’ve had plenty of time to think through where I’ll be: right here.
I’d rather be a native who speaks the language and can defend myself, rather than a guest no matter how well I get along.
That being said, for anyone thinking of leaving, they might consider Novorossiya. As part of the BRI, and a target of both Russian and Chinese investment once the war is settled, it could very well be the next major hot spot.
I remember my first trip to China 25 years ago – it’s only taken that long to go from clogged 2 lane roads to monster interstates.
I see a repeat taking place.
I disagree with you a little.
Mexico, through its cartels, is draining us. Capital is flowing into Mexico through the illicit trades.
I do agree though that Mexico, that resents the USA through two centuries of conquest, will gladly join BRICS++ when asked.
The really sad thing though is that the Deep State is voluntarily selling us down the river. See below post.
China is also very much involved. From Brookings in 2022:
The physical footprint of Mexican criminal groups in China is minimal, consisting mostly of a few individuals and business trips. In contrast, the presence of Chinese criminal actors, connections, and networks in Mexico is far bigger and growing. Beyond bases in Sinaloa’s Culiacán and Lazaro Cárdená, one of the major transshipment places for precursors, Chinese criminal networks are also believed to have cells in cities like Mexicali, Veracruz, Tampico, and Michoacán’s Aguililla, a transshipment hub for precursors, I was told by current and former U.S. and Mexican government officials and investigative journalists in Mexico. Indicted by the U.S. Treasury Department for fentanyl trafficking, the Zheng Cartel and its storefront Global United Biotechnology Inc. and other cover companies including veterinary care, computer and other retail, and chemical companies, also have operations in Mexico.
Chinese money traders and businesses also increasingly launder money for Mexican cartels. Drazen Jorgic’s Reuters report details Chinese informal money transfer systems that — through mirror transactions in Mexico, China, and the United States — cleanse money of criminals while enabling Chinese businesses and citizens to evade China’s capital controls. These Chinese money transfers are even displacing established Colombian and Mexican money launderers.
Brookings is another globalist mouthpiece.
Post more articles by Max Boot again, Normlet.
Brookings is of course a globalist mouthpiece.
That doesn’t mean that one cannot pick up a lot of info and insights from their publications.
I used to do a lot of work for their publications arm. It was like looking through a hole into their brains. I learned a hell of a lot from those books because so much was revealed, on a number of levels.
That is why I used to encourage people to sign up for the WEF membership area on their site years ago.
One can learn much.
Out of Imprimis, from the pen of Victor Davis Hanson.
Imperialism: Lessons from History
Synopsis in a few words,
Empires expand by investing their capital into outward ventures, such as Ukraine, but “steal” from their own people in the meantime, such as San Francisco or Chicago. He shows how many empires have done the same thing, Rome, USSR, Athens, Britain, Spain and now the USA.
Three characteristics are in common, the first being the leaders believe their imperialist policies have little to do with self-interest, second, their dependence on military might for enforcement and third, the costs of control outweigh the benefits. The leaders are seduced by the glory of absolute power, but become corrupted by it.
From the article, Rudyard Kipling presented a poem to Queen Victoria in 1897,
Recessional
“Far-called, our navies melt away/ On dune and headland sinks the fire/ Lo, all our pomp of yesterday/ Is one with Nineveh and Tyre/ Judge of the Nations, spare us yet/ Lest we forget – lest we forget.”
What a poetic picture of the USA Today.
They take territory already held for granted in their constant lust for more. If they could only be content with what they already had they might be able to pull it off. It’s the greed for fresh conquests (aka, “more, more, more”) that always does them in. Story book stuff.
…and boy oh boy, do they LUST for Russia. It’s an obsession, and it goes back decades. If you wonder why the hell we’re involved in a war in Ukraine, consider what the bastards have come right out and said over the years:
“Against Russia, at the expense of Russia, on the ruins of Russia” (Brzezinski)
– British Prime Minister John Major:
“Russia’s task after losing the Cold War is to provide resources to prosperous countries. But for this they only need 50-60 million people.”
– Advisor to the President of the United States Zbigniew Brzezinski:
“The smaller the population in this territory (USSR and Russia), the more successful its development by the West will be.”
– Bill Clinton:
“NATO’s goal is in the future to introduce peacekeeping (?) forces into areas of ethnic conflicts and border disputes from the Atlantic Ocean to the URALS MOUNTAINS.”
– Henry Kissinger:
“The collapse of the USSR is undoubtedly the most important event of our time, and the Bush administration has shown amazing skill in its approach to this problem… I prefer chaos and civil war in Russia to the trend of reuniting it into a single, strong, centralized state.”
– Michelle Casey:
“To avoid further senseless bloodshed, the Kremlin must lose the empire it still retains.”
– Lech Walesa:
“Trim Russia down to 50 million,” using for this the uprising of 60 nations…
– US Congressman James Raskin:
“Russia must be completely destroyed “at any cost.”
That is a perfect compendium. I’ve copied and saved these quotes. Thank you!
***
Henry Kissinger. What a guy!
Out of the mouths of babes, huh? They just can’t contain themselves.
Russia doesn’t even have half our population, and they have abundant resources. With the ever-decreasing supply of those resources, I would prefer an alliance with Russia, sans Putin and his murderous thugs, to help ease the pain of the coming Die-Centennial. Yes, 2076 or much sooner.
Granted, it may not matter much, since this may only extend the time to the inflection point of relative order to total chaos.
The current Chinese-Russian alliance if continued and strengthened means a much quicker demise for the US and its decaying culture, so maybe that’s a good thing? Can we really turn this decadence around and save the day? If not, who gives a fuck if you can only have it your way at Burger King?
TPTB do not think in terms of nation states. TPTB are true globalists. One-World Government, One-World Currency, One-World Digital ID, etc.
We are months, at best, from their next big move. We face the Orwellian boot stomping on the face of humanity forever. There will be a minuscule elite and however many obedient slaves they so choose. Globally.
Sad but true.
Beggars can’t be choosers. Putin or no Putin, the US is a failed, reactionary beggar state and Russia and China are calling the shots now.
OG,
We are not there yet, but I guess the World Government would rule and not the corporations so we would have a global Fascism or a kind of fierce global Socialism.
Even if that takes place, we’ll be ‘saved’ by the total collapse that’s coming. Just a matter of time.
Sorry, you’re delusional and well-fed your propaganda if all you’ve got is “Putin and his murderous thugs.”
Just because it was fed to you ever since Russia’s leader said “Enough!” to the West does not make it so.
History will remember Mr Putin and his exceptional assistants much more kindly than these amoral, rogue and bloodthirsty sick jokes we presume to pass off to the world as paragons of “exceptionalism’s” products of a superior, if not the ‘supreme’ nation.
Not even close.
Spur is a neocon, Dave.
I’m saving them too, Heartlander. Thanks.
If you find more, add them to the list.
Capitalism/Communism is evil as Solzhenitsyn said.
You reject Capitalism but cling on to the rump of old fashioned Communism, sticking it on the now Fascist, Russia.
@ Heartlander:
If you look at the overall world situation, it’s very puzzling. We have the Western powers (the Davos crowd, etc.) wanting to control and plunder Russia’s resources–as well as those of Ukraine. At the same time, they are detroying Western societies, economies, and currencies.
At the same time, China is quietly gaining control of resource-rich countries all over the world–notably in Africa and South America. But tucsonspur mentioned above that there is quite a large Chinese presence in Mexico. I’d say that if you control the drug trade, and hence the drug cartels (who are just their employees), you control Mexico. There is also a large Chinese presence in Canada. Here in the US, one could easily get the impression that the Chinese are already in near-total control of the US government.
Sometimes I think that, one day ten or twenty years from now, Americans will wake up one morning to an awareness that we’ve become essentially a colony of China–and that we are one of many, including Canada, Mexico, Africa, most of South America, and probably also Australia. The Chinese will have shrewdly and unobtrusively taken over most of the world, without firing a shot. All of China’s new colonies will still be full of pesky humans, but they’ll figure something out to solve that problem.
The part I don’t get is why the Western powers have undertaken a controlled demolition of the West. Maybe Ukraine is not so much about conquering Russia as it is about bankrupting (and disarming) the West. How do the elites benefit from the destruction of the West and Western Civilization? Why destroy Europe? And, for that matter, why destroy the US?
Could it be?
The WEF is a finale to the United Nations/EU movements of the WW2 times. I do not believe that Truman et al wanted global control of the US, more like US dominance of the United Nations because the world could not be trusted to keep the peace.
At the time, China was a backwater, a victim of the Japanese Empire. They were not even included in the conversation.
So combine the UN with NATO and you have tada, WEF.
To obtain the global power for the Davos crowd, the USA must be removed as the grand leader of the western world. Hence the attempted subjugation of America. It also explains the belittlement of Trump who just said no to this crowd,
A surprise is the selling out by folks in the US to the WEF credo. That includes the Biden Mob. Our dying empire will try to maintain itself but will lose in the long run.
The WEF is not trying to destroy Europe or America, they just want them subservient to the global government, WEF style. Load them up with subservient, socialistic peoples, mostly dark in complexion and the power conversion is complete.
Uh oh, nobody told China and Russia about these grandiose plans for the world. BRICS++, a compendium of that group is in opposition to the WEF. IMHO, these two groups are already in competition with each other. Ukraine is the first flash point.
The neocon, MIC target for two generations has been Russia, the Wag the Dog target. The WEF jumped right on to this.
China, their smiles getting broader has been in the wings, getting ready to challenge the West, IOW, the WEF.
The future will be WEF vs. BRICS++ with the primary focus of the BRICS++ group being the powerhouse of the WEF, the USA.
Whether WEF or BRICS++, the world is out to destroy the power of the US. We are no longer powerful enough to fend them off, thanks to our own Deep State.
Hi, Anthea,

@ JohnAZ:
I am not buying the idea that the WEF is not trying to destroy Europe and America, since it seems to me that that is exactly what it is actively doing and, to a great extent, has succeeded in doing. They’ve been hard at work eroding the West’s cultural/religious/moral basis since around 1900. Now we’re seeing the West’s economic and monetary destruction.
From the 1700s until the mid-20th Century, the Western powers were the colonial powers that controlled most of the world’s resources. What you see now is China emerging as a colonial power, in the sense that it’s gaining control of most of the world’s resources. This seems to be going largely unnocticed. Maybe that’s because the conquest and control methods are not military.
So there is this huge shift in control of the world’s resources from West to East.
Curiously, the Western power centers (call them the WEF, I guess) seem to be actively colluding in this process.
You can say that the WEF wants to destroy the West to make it “subservient” to some projected future worldwide totalitarian regime, but I’m not buying that either. I don’t see any sense in them destroying what they want to rule over. Sensible rulers want to rule over prosperous, productive, orderly, law-abiding nations, so that they can extract the maximum amount of wealth. You want to be the ruler of Rhodesia, not the ruler of Zimbabwe.
Generally speaking, a ruler doesn’t set out to purposely destroy his country and its productive capacity–to destroy its industry, its agriculture, and the character of its people.
What we are actually seeing is the WEF (the presumed real tulers of the West) sinking their own ship–and in many cases parting it out.
I wonder if maybe they see–and have seen for a couple of decades–that it’s Game Over. The monetary and financial edifice–which was the real source of their wealth and power– is collapsing. The question becomes, “how to squeeze a few last bucks out of this decaying mess, before it collapses completely.” I wonder if the deliberate destruction of the West is essentially a final looting operation. The old guy is on his death bed and far enough gone that it’s time to go through his pockets and rifle the dresser drawers. And the reason he’s as good as dead is because they’ve bled him dry, and they know it. So the WEF is acting in the role of so many pick-pockets and rag-pickers.
As an aside, they know they can’t win in Ukraine or defeat Russia. The war in Ukraine is just another looting operation.
I don’t really see the WEF (or whoever they are) wanting to rule over a toothless, impoverished West full of internal conflicts–and populated by a mish-mash of unproductive and ungovernable people.
There’s a well-known War Memorial in downtown Vancouver with the inscription “Lest we Forget”.
I can’t remember which “Great War” it refers to.
“Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.”

Just sayin
Exceedingly fine one today Jim.
I couldn’t get all the way through the Jimmy Dore interview with Cornell West.
Every time Jimmy tried to get Cornell to see that most Americans care more about economic devastation and war mongering than white supremacy and trans rights, Cornell doubled down, self-righteously proclaiming that he is a victim of white supremacy (yeah, right, a Harvard grad who has spent years teaching in Ivy League colleges), and how could anything be more important than trans rights?
He also kept insisting that Trump is “fascist” because he tried to stay in the White House.
Garland Nixon takes that bullshit down…..

I couldn’t even watch it from the get-go while live. I did appreciate Garland’s take on it immensely.
Garland holds deep wisdom. I was already thinking of posting what you did (Garland,) until I saw you’d included it.
RFK Jr. names three of the giant monsters of Capitalism:
Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street.
‘These three companies operate under some type of shell corporation, RFK Jr. continued, and the purpose of their massive housing buy-up is to advance the Great Reset, and enact the will of the World Economic Forum. “You will own nothing, and you will be happy,” is the WEF’s Great Reset motto, and it’s coming to fruition right under our noses.
I was contacted by the corporate communications team at BlackRock in September, who claimed that “BlackRock is an active investor in the U.S. real estate market, but we are not among the institutional investors buying single-family houses.”
I asked Alexander Williams, BlackRock’s rep, to clarify whether they engaged in home purchases through shell and shadow corporations, and to prove that all claims made by RFK Jr. were false. He stopped responding — so you tell me who is the more trustworthy and believable person in this debate?’
Love the ones you cherish, while you consume or perish.
I think, iirc, that BlackRock owns the most shares of Vanguard.
Dear JHK Admin,
“And the public will finally see the case against “Joe Biden” and his family laid out carefully, precisely, and coherently, with high and grave decorum.”
Good luck with that. Since Republicans gunning for President Biden have failed to present evidence that actually links President Biden to criminal activity. Somehow, I am guessing that these folks are going to have to do a lot more than the hand-waving they are doing now that you believe makes the case slam dunk. As in prove a case–as has been done in Federal Court with umpteen numbers of folks charged with crimes and CONVICTED for 6 Jan 2020 activities, which you somehow ignore in proclaiming these same folks’ innocence. So, you can say that they are all innocent, but they were found guilty–so many of them–by juries. Why do you actually think they are innocent? So, how exactly is this progressions of guilty verdicts evidence of malfeasance by the courts? That bit I don’t get.
What I do get is that the point has never been to actually mount a case against Biden–it is to smear him and the impeachment process itself to help Donald Trump. I think the Republicans have been quite successful in that–who needs evidence? When the whole thing fizzles, I expect people here to ignore that, grumble about “blind American justice” and go on and pretend that cases were made. Unlike President Biden, former President is facing 90+ charges on four indictments in multiple jurisdictions. Yeah… deep state, EVERYONE is out to get poor misunderstood crusader Trump. No.EVERYONE is deep state. Occam’s razor might suggest that a simpler explanation is that the former President might have been involved in shenanigans. But, no.
Finally, I think it is quite reasonable to ask questions of President Biden’s fitness for another four year term, but the lack of scrutiny on the right for former president Trump fitness on the same basis is a tad strange to me. The former President is old, and has a habit of saying many nonsensical things in a “sun-setting” rambling style that leaves me with the impression that he has also lost a step or three from his use of language earlier in his career. In any case, I think he is one fast food embracing, golf club hitting, cholesterol clogging heart attack away from leaving this planet if dementia doesn’t get him first.
HE
HE…don’t waste your time on this blog…it’s not worth the keystrokes. Meanwhile, it’s 10 hiway miles between Ortonville, MN and Milbank, SD with free passage between the two via the Minnesota River bridge, last I knew. But it’s Kristy Noem for VP and Timmy Walz for dog catcher…go figure. I applaud them both for serving as elected officials in state government. “WE” are the government, I believe Teddy Roosevelt said. Isn’t he one of the four faces on Mt. Rushmore?
Don’t listen to TC, HE. Someone sh!t in Tom’s cornflakes decades ago and he never got over it.
Keystroke away, good sir!
Hi OG,
I am happy to speak with whomever, and thank you for the advice!
Hi tom clark,
Thanks for the reply. If you like Kristy Noem for VP, she agrees with you. She is being absolutely nice to the former President. Maybe that will count for something with DT. Maybe not? As for the “WE” in the “WE are the government” I don’t think that allows folks to take up violence against their government when they don’t like the result of an election that they think was stolen. And I suspect that you believe that they were justified–but no justification could be shown in the courts, and if we are a nation that respects laws, that means the way you show your truth is through the courts. And those who have argued that the previous President’s claims are correct with regard to the election have NOT been able to produce the level of evidence required to prove these claims in any court of law. I don’t think DT’s face will be doing TR’s.
HE…I’m no Kristy Noem fan, but I still think Donny’s courting of Kristy for VP is so he can have a place reserved for himself as a 5th face on MR.
Interesting idea. Why do you think that gets him a place on MR, tom clark?
So, “hustled enough” believes Biden is innocent of any wrongdoing and Trump has dementia as severe as Biden’s.
There’s really no point in arguing with extreme stupidity.
But on the bright side, you can fill in for Rachel Maddow when she vacations. I’m sure her audience won’t learn anything distressingly true from you.
Hello hmuller,
If you read my original post carefully, I am not saying President Biden is innocent–what I am saying is that those who accuse him of wrong doing haven’t produced evidence that would support such a conclusion–in a court of law or in an impeachment proceeding. This is for political gain. There is a lot more on the former President then there is on the current one–at this point in time. You know, 90+ charges in 4 different jurisdictions.
As for DT and possible dementia? Mileage will vary on this, but if you were to turn around and accuse DT of all the types of gaffes and stumbles that the Right says about JB, you would be able to make a similar case about DT (and people on the Left do exactly that). 78 is getting up there… and I guess you are acknowledging that DT has dementia, just not as severe as JB, in your mind. Is that really the rallying cry you want to use to endorse DT to be “Leader of the Free World” again?
I also think you are probably right that “[t]here’s really no point in arguing with extreme stupidity.”
The Trump haters can file 9 million charges in court if they wish. That doesn’t mean the charges have merit. Ever hear of “lawfare”, oh enlightened one?
Compare those Trump impeachments over trivial nonsense to the Biden crime family taking millions in bribes. Oh, you’ll say that’s not proven. Give it time. If your kind had their way such Biden corruption would never be investigated. Do I need to educate you on the favoritism and hands off approach shown by DOJ, FBI, et al.
Many judges appointed by Democrats are ideologically driven attack dogs with no respect for justice, truth, or the Constitution. I don’t give a fuck what the evil bastards say.
No, I don’t believe Trump has noticeable dementia.
Oh and by the way, hustled enough, be sure and get all your Covid shots and boosters. It will make your beloved President so happy.
No, I don’t believe Trump has noticeable dementia. – hmuller
============
You wanna see noticeable dementia? Let me introduce you to my brother-in-law, Peter.
Peter is about four months younger than Trump. He’ll turn 77 on Oct 8th.
Run Peter as the Democratic candidate for Senate from your state. He’s just what they’re looking for.
You know hmuller, thank you for getting back to me. I was wondering where you had gotten off to.
As for the claims you advance–what evidence are you referring to in the “Biden crime family”? You have Republicans “full of sound and fury” but UNABLE to provide evidence for the claim–we have money, which MUST be from criminal activity!!! It must!!! I tell you; it must!!!” OK, so where is the evidence? DT has more money; his son-in-law gets lovely deals with the Saudis worth billions? Why no outrage there? I am all for you to make a case–but even the Republicans acknowledge that this is a political stunt designed–not at establishing truth but aimed at associating the President with a wrong doing that the Republicans have no actual interest in proving.
How do I know this, hmuller–because as of yet–there is no evidence; just innuendo. DT would have been convicted twice already on that level, if you want Biden gone.; than DT begone!
As for “hands off approaches” … Hunter B is getting heavy handed treatment not meted out to many. So, is this evidence of favouritism? Mileage varies on that one. I haven’t seen Jared hauled up on influence peddling. Maybe that will change. As for judges–I want to point out that many of the judges handling 6 Jan cases, and other cases dealing with DT cases, etc are Trump appointees who are sticking to the issues of the law … so, how is that “ideologically driven” meme working for you? DA’s? Yes, you can make a case there, but it works both ways. The KEY is: Can they make their cases? So far, plenty of people have gone to gaol found guilty by juries of their peers. And yet, you have nothing to say about that–they are all stitch up jobs in your mind?
And no, I don’t think Biden has dementia either, but he is old. And so is DT. And they have lost a step.That won’t stop you voting for DT.
Rulo, look away.

MICHAEL JACO DISCUSSES CHILDREN OF MAUI RESCUED BY SPECIAL FORCES WITH NICHOLAS VENIAMIN
bitchuteDOTcom/video/nZjE9Pn2MIYA/
Trump is discussed first. Then Big Mike & trannies. Then Ba’al. Then Lahaina starts at 12:30.
John, do you know ex-Special Forces’ Michael Jaco? I believe that you’d find him inspirational.
RealSpikeCohen
This man’s name is Rick Rescorla.
22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.
Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers’ basements were vulnerable to attack.
His warnings fell on deaf ears.
Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.
After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.
Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.
He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.
Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.
And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.
When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower’s speaker system “Please do not leave the building. This area is secure.”
Rick ignored them.
“The dumb sons of b——s told me not to evacuate,” he said to his best friend Dan. “They said it’s just Building One. I told them I’m getting my people the f–k out of here.”
And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.
His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.
Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.
But first, he called his wife Susan.
“Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I’ve never been happier. You made my life.”
Rick rushed back to the South Tower.
That was the last time anyone saw him alive.
All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.
Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.
Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.
Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.
Jarek: As Whitman said, obey little. Question much. Spike says the same. Those who disobeyed in Lahaina lived. Those who obeyed died. At one of the huge industrial fires in India, the workers were ordered to remain at their posts. Why does Management do this? Because maintaining Control is life itself to them. They can’t admit that things are out of control or not working.
Above, one of posters seems to boast about never getting kicked off the site. How does that fit in with Whitman and Spike are saying? At his best, he’s for non-conformity, but he’ll deny his best to win an argument. Because such victories, though lacking all integrity, are life itself to him.
That was a brilliant and timely weave, Big Kahuna. Thank you.
What is he so mad at you about? After Mary broke up with him, you two should have been friends.
Zilch Nada is a little weasel and I have called him on it. He owes beantownbill. an explanation or an apology. A or B.
ZN does neither because his pride won’t allow him to act like a man. I hate pride and, therefore, always clash with the prideful.
If you asked ZN where he stands on the mentally ill healing, he’d be all supportive to beat the band … but threaten his pride and he’ll repeatedly kick you in the ribs once you’re already down.
ZN is a pathetic little man and he was trying to keep that on the down-low. He’s used to outsmarting most and schmoozing the rest while he can do neither with me.
So he lashes out like the little girl “he” is.
IMHO, of course.
First one to 1000 posts is a rotten egg. Where’s Pucker?

“Even if they offered us the chance to learn the truth, would our free people even want to know it? Y.G. Oksman returned from the camps in 1948, and was not rearrested, but lived in Moscow. His friends and acquaintances did not abandon him, but helped him. But they did not want to hear his recollections of camp. Because if they knew about that — how could they go on living.”
— Solzhenitsyn
Yes. This long and tedious political and legalistic process is a form of torture and is also trauma inducing. My hopes are admittedly dim in regards to the Republican House’s efforts on the impeachment front. What is the regime willing to do to distract the public from such an outcome? But it is fun to consider all the possibilities! Just imagine if somehow the House defunds the regime and actually impeaches Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland.
“Anyway, the actual issue is not whether it’s politically advantageous to lay off “Joe Biden,” but the irrefutable fact that he (and the shadowy figures running his regime) are wrecking the country. He (they) can do a lot more damage in the many months leading up to January, 2025, especially around the dangerous idiocy that the US foreign policy gang pursues so blindly in Ukraine.” ~ JHK
Is our only legal recourse to continually point out how their rhetoric and reality amount to a lie?
The lady presents some troubling issues, and Stoltenberg conveniently avoids addressing them while emphasizing his agenda. What a weasel!
What the hell has happened to accountability? People like Stoltenberg can’t possibly think that there will never be a judgement day (I suppose that it is helpful if you don’t believe in a greater being). When will addressing the nonsense take precedence over TDS?

Yes. Some people do believe there will never be a judgement day. Additionally you can never expect one with TDS to address nonsense. At least in any way which could be conceived of as positive for you. Consider your assertion accordingly. How do you interact with terrorists?
“Do you think that more than half of the US public may be getting a little irked with “Joe Biden’s” lawfare elf, AG Merrick Garland, as he rolls one innocent J-6 protester after another into decades of hard-time for strolling through the US Capitol building …” ~ JHK
You first.
Is our only legal recourse to continually point out how their rhetoric and reality amount to a lie?
What is the most effective way to address and put an end to all the nonsense?
Chris Christie makes some effective arguments on a variety of issues, but he appears clueless about the coup. Guys like him need to be tagged.
Well no. Since there is already a whole lot of evidence of FBI misconduct and infiltration in the Jan 6 space I think one could definitely argue a great case that the FBI, the Capitol Police, Congress, DHS, the Pentagon, etc., were all involved in a massive conspiracy that actually was meant to deprive the voting public of their constitutional rights. Additionally they instigated violence in order to halt an official proceeding and so they are thereby guilty of insurrection. Perhaps RICO charges could be applied too since there was clearly coordination and collaboration to make the events of that day into a yarn that these entities could spin to set in motion their rolling coup.
A government shutdown has the potential to gain everyone’s attention.
This would present an opportunity to tell the population about the big picture.
My limited experience is that no one is interested in researching what the 2030 Agenda is, but I suspect that even an idiot can see the problem with Stoltenberg’s reply/position.
We need to figure out how to plant some seeds.

The government shutdown should coincide with the shutdown of their entire media apparatus. The conventional media’s entire reason for being is to support in totality the regime. It needs to be treated like a government agency.
The UN General Assembly will be hosting high level meetings later this month in NYC. The meeting on the 20th is focused on the pandemic prevention, preparedness and response treaty. I note how they don’t reference the treaty itself which is clever. If you take a look at the zero draft you’ll find that the aim is to create a global governance structure with the World Health Organization as the central authority. The zero draft also discusses national governments building out emergency response infrastructure and creating laws to conform to pandemic prevention protocols and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goals. And! The treaty would require national governments to “address” “mis and disinformation” regarding pandemics and responses, as well as “counter” vaccine hesitancy.

Thank you for ferreting out this information.
This amounts to a highly organized international coup.
One could argue that they are providing solutions to inevitable issues, but the problem I have with it is the immoral manner in which they are enacting their solutions.
Its actually amazing and thoroughly chilling that this isn’t getting more attention. They are so good with cloaking their evil aims in beautifully embellished language that many people will probably see all of this as relatively harmless or even in a positive light. If they bother to read it. Yes, a rewiring of the brain must occur. Those who provide solutions should be met with intense fear and loathing. At least initially until their claims can be examined.
Sounds like a good time for Putin to make some planned defensive directional strikes to a certain area in NYC during that time of the month!
Lol, well unfortunately Russia participates in the UN and is likely signing on to this thing. Now, will they actually enforce it in their own country? Who knows. But it is a guarantee that it will be completely enforced in the US if they can make this happen.
Hello SSL, and thank you for your reply. It is nice to speak with you again.
Honestly though, I don’t know why Russia just doesn’t pull out of the UN. They should want nothing to do with anything on the world stage at this point, since it is all run by globalist commies. Just like BRICS, the new world order should form their own platform of nations, and refuse entry to any countries that are run by the evil globalist West.
Hey! I don’t know why Russia still wants to be part of the UN either. I also don’t know about any world order per se. I think it is probably a bad idea unless they can be sure such organizations are not going to be hijacked by globalists. BRICS could absolutely form a separate block but all of those countries probably won’t leave the UN. One of the primary purposes of the UN is to extract wealth from the US and Europe and redistribute it elsewhere. Probably too much money in it to leave for the recipient nations.
Catastrophic flooding kills 2,000 in Libya with 5,000 missing. The country, in disarray after Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s illegal war and killing of Muammar Gaddafi, is ruled by two separate warlord regimes and is marred by crumbling roads and buildings.

Joe Joe’s gaffes will never be outdone.
Are we supposed to believe that thousands of Keystone Cops in eastern PA can’t find an escaped capuchin in a suburban area with cameras all over the place?
They (the cops and police departments) are too busy making diversity hires and attempting to accomplish their trans-woke agenda.
Disaffected “They take territory already held for granted in their constant lust for more. If they could only be content with what they already had they might be able to pull it off. It’s the greed for fresh conquests that always does them in. Story book stuff.”
Within this observation lies the ultimate truth: the elite operate on a continuum. Action (war, politics, etc) isn’t activity, rather it’s the very essence of life.
Normal people tend to think in discrete terms – study hard, get ahead, retire; or, obey the rules, go to war, return to peace. This is why entertainers, lottery winners and those who become financially successful (ie change class) become bored and inevitably destroy themselves from over indulgence.
As a runner, ask yourself would you quit if you won the lottery? Or Jim, would he stop writing if someone handed him $50m? Presumably, the answer to each would be of course not, what does your passion have to do with money?
Well, try to channel the thinking process of leadership. War isn’t something to be avoided, instead it’s an object of desire for its own end. Their lust for conquest is no different than your interest in watching the Boston marathon.
BTW, using this standard can prove to be a useful metric to measure a person’s true state. Why is Hunter so self destructive – he acts like any other regular person elevated far beyond their station.
Whereas the elite, with families and networks tracing back centuries, quietly go about playing their great games, toying with normies with promises of agency, heaven, or whatever popular fanatasy appeals to people they literally think of as cattle.
If you frame the world in this context, you can easily see how some bored Vikings, after carving out a part of northern France, then set their sights on another target. From that grew a global empire driven not necessarily by financial desire, but rather simple pure power and control.
And we’re still living that reality, though it has been obscured by popular delusions about “human rights” and other nostrums guaranteed to elevate ones blood pressure if treated as something real that is “now” being compromised.
Hence this and other blogs in alt.media
The business of media is always to give people what they want and not what they need.
That seemed true when I was a kid. Now I’m 68 and I think media tells people whatever the ruling elite decrees. It’s all about conditioning minds.
You will own nothing and be happy eating crickets. Sounds like a decree from the Masters to the slaves, not a grass roots movement.
Seems like they are not quietly playing their great games though, at least not anymore.
They are sprinting towards the end zone now. Can they be stopped?

The US’s sabotage of Nord Stream released the largest ever man-made emission of methane in history.
It released over 14 million tons of CO2 equivalent into the atmosphere.
But dairy farms in New Zealand must be stopped.
They want you stupid, they make you stupid (no child left behind, public school curriculum), they treat you like you’re stupid, and they ensure (deep state censorship of news and info) that you remain stupid.
Exactly. But there’s a huge difference between cynicism and acceptance.
The cynic wants to believe it’s not really true, it’s just a spate of negatitivity, or maybe life can really be changed and therefore seeks to shock others into confronting reality in some deep, forlorn hope that the situation can be altered.
I see you in that space.
The realist, on the other hand, sees the great game for what it is, completely rejecting all prior attempts at brain washing, whether it be religious or secular. (Watch some testimony of those who left their respective churchs.)
When you operate in that sphere, you not only fully understand & accept what you wrote above, but adopt a strategic POV thinking in terms of what’s next. You’re not concerned about the superficial realities of war, lock downs, mandates, etc – rather, you check off your internal list to confirm your predictive powers.
In this way, even as an outsider, you can participate in the great game, if only in a virtual sense.
Very clever … until you are informed that there really is a God.
I wouldn’t say that I don’t believe it’s true.
I know and have known that it is true.
I have said for a long time that the advent of the modern Information Age has made it nearly impossible for the masters-of-the-universe to maintain the charade under wraps. The egalitarianism, the power of the people, the democracy, the boundless opportunity afforded to everyone.
The only way to maintain the censure and curation of disclosed information that they had previously enjoyed would be though harsher, bolder, and more obvious tactics that, perhaps ironically, would only further expose the facade.
I suppose my point is that we have now reached the point where they (the ruling elite) believe we are hopelessly stupid and ignorant or, and probably most likely, believe that it doesn’t matter what we think or believe because we (the rules over majority) are totally and utterly devoid of agency.
You are free to believe that you can participate in their game by virtue of understanding its existence.
Heaven knows, the acceptance of rigged platforms has never stopped the hopeful from visiting casinos, scratching lottery tickets, casting ballots.
Some small chance captures so damn many
Someone once said, “Life is a tragedy to the man who feels; a comedy to the man who thinks.”
If you believe this is all a virtual reality matrix from which we can awaken, life seems less horrifically tragic
Or a simulation.
Having toyed with simulations in the past, I have experienced the point where you have pasted equilibrium and are at surplus. Grand plans and grand designs and benchmarks accomplished. Efficiency.
Boredom sets in.
You dial up or dial back certain settings.
More entropy
More chaos.
More entertainment.
Whatever is running this sim, as is my hope, has become very very bored.
Surpassed equilibrium
Surely it sent me a sign in its twisted humor
What sorcery it has
Saviour Machine
President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine
They called it the Prayer, its answer was law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in its boredom
“Please don’t believe in me, please disagree with me
Life is too easy, a plague seems quite feasible now
Or maybe a war, or I may kill you all
Don’t let me stay, don’t let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I’ve seen
You can’t stake your lives on a Saviour Machine
I need you flying, and I’ll show that dying
Is living beyond reason, sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind
Don’t let me stay, don’t let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I’ve seen
You can’t stake your lives on a Saviour Machine”

Yes and no one talks about it anymore basically. Likely the reason all the strange weather phenomena are occurring around the planet right now are in some part related to this plus the Tonga eruption.

“Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.” Old proverb
Does anyone else need another good reason why we are splitting into two nations? The Democrat party changed their political primary opening state from Iowa (a state with a largely White majority) to South Carolina (a state with a largely Black majority). Gee, I wonder what they are trying to ever so subtlety tell us here? It is clear this is meant to further divide the nation.
A nation of haves and have-nots. A nation of good and evil. A nation of majority ruled by the minority. A nation of ill-witted dimwits with a few that actually see the light.
Any other examples to prove this point?
Another example
Some person’s in high places think the public is stupid enough to cooperate with another pandemic. Maybe, a majority are. But the Elite will be surprised by the loud resistance of a growing aware minority.
Sometimes, pushing a lie too far, can bring down the whole house. Let us hope.
When the Plandemic is relaunched, I expect about one-third of the U$ population to submit – eagerly.
When the penalties for non-compliance are announced (unemployment, lock-down, no UBI), I expect another one-third to quickly submit.
A lot of lawsuits have been won by those wrongfully terminated (sometimes with back pay for months spent not working.) This gives people strength and courage to resist the next wave of tyranny
It is official, the House will now launch in impeachment inquiry against Biden!!!
Biden will be impeached and God willing removed from office!
And then what? Kamala makes Fetterman VP, and then resigns? We’ve grown use to a President with no control over policy or his own bodily functions.
Impeachment doesn’t mean removing any more. It’s just a censure. I’d be amazed if they even got that far given who they are.
It doesn’t even mean it is going to happen.
It won’t.
The senate isn’t going for that unless their goal is to deepsix the deeply unpopular “Joe Biden”
Cowbell doesn’t know this.
Many do not.
This is how they rule: an ignorant and low info citizenry
I was actually thinking that same thing: that the Democrat controlled Senate would vote to remove, all in order to get rid of Biden in a tidy and efficient manner and replace him with someone else of their choosing (Kamala?).
Who knows how these cards will be played…the democrats are a tricky lot.
Even so, that would seriously diminish their “brand.” Never good to be the party whose candidate got removed due to scandal. Plus, the old bird might have a sudden recovery of memory. Oh the tales he could tell!
Disaffected, are you implying that Biden is faking the Sicilian Flu? He was always a world class bullshitter but never that great an actor. I think he’s sincerely confused. And not just a little.
“Impeachment doesn’t mean removing any more. ”
It never did.
Per Merriam-Webster’s Unabridged, it means:
” to bring an accusation (as of wrongdoing or impropriety) against : charge with a crime or misdemeanor specifically : to charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misbehavior in office : arraign or cite for official misconduct “
What’s the actual removal from office called then?
When the verdict of the Impeachment Trial is “Guilty”, he’d be a gone-burger…

It’s called being “shit-canned.”
“Shit-canned.” LOL! Classic Q.
Like most women, Merriam changes her mind a lot. She changed her mind on the meaning of “vaccine” too if memory serves.
senate.gov
The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” (Article I, section 2) and “the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments … [but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present” (Article I, section 3). The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment.
The practice of impeachment originated in England and was later used by many of the American colonial and state governments. As adopted by the framers of the Constitution, this congressional power is a fundamental component of the system of “checks and balances.” Through the impeachment process, Congress charges and then tries an official of the federal government for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The definition of “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” was not specified in the Constitution and has long been the subject of debate.
In impeachment proceedings, the House of Representatives charges an official of the federal government by approving, by simple majority vote, articles of impeachment. After the House of Representatives sends its articles of impeachment to the Senate, the Senate sits as a High Court of Impeachment to consider evidence, hear witnesses, and vote to acquit or convict the impeached official. A committee of representatives, called “managers,” act as prosecutors before the Senate. In the case of presidential impeachment trials, the chief justice of the United States presides. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official upon conviction is removal from office. In some cases, the Senate has also disqualified such officials from holding public offices in the future. There is no appeal. Since 1789 about half of Senate impeachment trials have resulted in conviction and removal from office.
Jarek: If you couldn’t hear “remove” in the word impeach, you have a tin ear for words.
Now the most disingenuous midget known to man has released an Op-Ed condemning third party candidates while exhorting voters to coalesce behind “Joe Biden”.
Because Trump
Reich is such a shrill and duplicitous halfling.
He warns:
Election of Trump will be last democratic election.
This man is a professor. When people wonder what has captivated the so-called thinking class and intelligentsia of this country, here’s your answer. People entrusted to educate.
They’re not bringing their best.
Reich is a learned and sensible man.
True, he is of the leftist persuasion, but that isn’t an issue, except with thicko morons who also believe Trump was “a great President”, “loves America”, “cares about me (a working-class schlub)” and “will make ‘Merica great again”. Bwahhaha!

Who mentioned Trump?
“Communism has never concealed the fact that it rejects all absolute concepts of morality. It scoffs at any consideration of “good” and “evil” as indisputable categories. Communism considers morality to be relative, to be a class matter. Depending on circumstances and the political situation, any act, including murder, even the killing of hundreds of thousands, could be good or could be bad. It all depends on class ideology. And who defines this ideology? The whole class cannot get together to pass judgment. A handful of people determine what is good and what is bad. But I must say that in this respect Communism has been most successful. It has infected the whole world with the belief in the relativity of good and evil. Today, many people apart from the Communists are carried away by this idea.”
? Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Warning to the West
Interesting. There are so many viruses. There is a commie virus running rampant. Shall we implement lockdown protocols and prepare an immunization program for rapid deployment?
Yes, it’s a ideological virus – just like Feminism or Capitalism.
Solzhenitsyn loathed our system as well.
“Communism has been most successful. It has infected the whole world with the belief in the relativity of good and evil.”
Solzhenitsyn wrote about common criminals, and how they got much lighter sentences than the ideological, moral ones who were rounded up. He hated them. For one thing, they made for much easier and better informers. Without morals, there were no pangs of conscience when a Party bureaucrat “suggested” keeping an eye and ear out for “subversive thoughts” among family members or anyone on the street. In fact, the opposite — criminals exulted in their new powers. (He estimated that 1 in 3 or 4 people in 1920s and 30s U.S.S.R. had been approached at some point to inform. It was the offer you couldn’t refuse.)
Later, when living in the U.S., he looked on the glorification of criminals in Hollywood entertainment with bewilderment.
We fool ourselves that stealing from the richer or more corrupt is somehow acceptable, even noble. But it’s just different degrees of immorality, and points to the fact that if the roles and circumstances were switched, we (the underlings, in general) would be just as vicious and cruel as TPTB.
But Solzhenitsyn detailed meticulously how, out of fear, almost everyone informed on everyone else, whether their spouses, kids, good neighbours or friends. Once the oppression infiltrates every interaction, perceived or real, every industry, every family and work interaction, then fighting becomes virtually impossible, even for the good ones. He did write about the rare exceptions, though, and how effective they could be.
Concerning the Jets vs Bills game last night:
As you may know, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was acquired from the GB Packers by the NY Jets. With great hype and fanfare he started last night’s game. The hype was over the top. In the pre-game, tennis legend John McEnroe interviews Rodgers and they both praise one another’s legacy in their respective sports. Rodgers announces that he is not planning to merely improve on the Jets win loss record of recent years but to seriously challenge for the Super Bowl.
The teams are lined up in the hallway ready to take the field. Rodgers at the head of the team holds a pole with a large American flag. He trots onto the field with a brilliant spotlight on him. The crowd is going wild. A large number of fans have already purchased and are wearing a green Jets T-shirt bearing the number 8 and Rodgers name. The game begins.
On the 4th snap from center Rodgers is sacked behind his line of scrimmage. He gets up, hobbles a step or two then sits on the field with a pained grimace. He’s carted off the field with an ankle injury. Zach Wilson replaced him. The game went into OT and the Jets won by six points on a 100 yard punt runback.
It is not yet known if Rodgers will recover or is out for the season. He has a torn ACL.
Yes, that is all fine and well, but how did Peter enjoy the game?
but how did Peter enjoy the game? – CB
===========
During the latter part of the pre-game warm-up I contacted Peter via our monitor intercom and told him the game was coming on in a few minutes. “Oh great” he said but I don’t know if he actually tuned in to the game because he can’t keep a thought in his head for even five minutes.

Sorry I screwed up all the details.
No worries, Q. Pobody’s nerfect.
He ran out to the adulation of tens of thousands while hoisting old glory on the anniversary of infamy a pigskin’s throw away from the epicenter.
Only to fall quickly. Hobbled and forced to evacuate the battlefield.
Sounds perfect to me.
Does have sort of a legendary epic tale quality to it. Certainly better to go out that way than to have just been mediocre and letting down the rabidly fickle NY fanbase gradually. What if, what if, what if…
Does have sort of a legendary epic tale quality to it. – Disaff
===========
With all the pre-season and pre-game hype it was a perfect setup for an epic jinx.
On a side-note, I believe Rodgers was one of only a few players who refused the vaxx.
I was drawing analogy.
The US went to Afghanistan and Iraq with pomp and fanfare and celebration of a raucous public.
Only to trip over their own dick and leave broken, embarrassed and without having accomplished anything.
*despite George Dumbya’s aircraft carrier banner proclamation
On a side-note, I believe Rodgers was one of only a few players who refused the vaxx.
Yes, I think you’re right, Q. He sidestepped it by claiming he sought alternative treatments, or some such, and they gave him a pass. Hey, whatever it takes!
The US went to Afghanistan and Iraq with pomp and fanfare and celebration of a raucous public.
Yes, the idiots in DC like to think of themselves in epic terms as well, “creating their own reality,” and all that Rovian nonsense. Unfortunately, they’re just an epic clown show instead.
What’s Tim Tebow doing now? The media really hated him as did 100 I assume. Both hate Christians.
You have 2 assumptions there Jarry.
I don’t hate anyone.
There is no such thing as a Christian.
Only Abrahamics.
I feel sorry for them if anything.
Occidental victims of a middle-eastern mind virus.
I am a true westerner.
EROB
Any soul that truly believes that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the son of God and that He rose from the dead after his horrific execution is a Christian, 100. We all know that.
You will take your pseudo-intellectual, self-glorification bull sh!t with you to Judgement Day, sir.
The revelations have started. All will be revealed.
Ain’t it funny how you feel
When you’re finding out it’s real?
– Neil Young
Tebow could have remained in the NFL at some position other than quarterback. There have been a number of good college QBs who transformed themselves into tight ends & wide receivers to play in the NFL. This was offered to Tebow but he turned it down.
In other words he wasn’t kicked out of the league because he was a Christian.
What is he doing now? Was he not a good QB?
What is he [Tebow] doing now? – Jar
==========
With his reputation as a big Christian, I will guess “praying.”
I also wonder about the once phenom Johnny Manziel aka “Johnny Football” out of Texas A&M.
There’s a U of Florida mini-documentary out on Netflix now that’s mostly about Tebow and Urban Myer. Didn’t watch the whole thing, so not sure what he’s up to now. Last I heard he was coaching HS football somewhere, having wrung his celebrity out for all it’s worth.
Manziel also has a biopic on Netflix now. Looked to me like he’s finally come down to earth again. He never actually liked playing football, he was just into it for the camaraderie with “his boys” and the adrenaline rush of the fame and notoriety. An arrested development teenager who didn’t want to grow up. Didn’t enjoy the money either, other than as a means for more of the above. Reminded me somewhat of Ryan Leaf, who’s now remarkably well-adjusted and candid about his experiences post fame, football, and prison time. So there is hope for those kinds of guys.
Tebow tried out as a TE for the Jags last year under soon disgraced Urban Meyer. Didn’t make it past the pre-season. Several YouTube videos out there of his horrendous attempts to block.
No, he wasn’t a good QB, but apparently he was an even worse TE.
And he was a media nightmare for any team that had him, what with his cult-like following.
What’s Tim Tebow doing now? The media really hated him – Jar
===========
I don’t recall the media hating Tebow. Where do you get this shit?
Actually they worshipped him for the constant story lines.
Jarek,
What does Tebow say to God when he prays? Does he pray for victory…for his enemies to be smitten? If his prayers are answered, does it mean that Jesus loves him more, and his enemies less? Why is Jesus screwing the other team? I’ve heard that God doesn’t make no junk, so why would Tebow implore the deity for his own personal victory over his worthy enemies?
Or maybe he is praying for world peace…? Or, or is Tebow actually evil, praying that his enemies die…or that they momma die? Or both?
If Tebow drops a pass, is he then forsaken? If his enemies win on the field, are they considered more devout? Even chosen?
If I root for Tebow, what are my chances? Maybe keep my tongue from being ripped out by demons?
Rogers played all of 5 minutes. I read it was a torn Achilles tendon, not an ACL. At any rate, season over, career over.
Question is now does Rogers get to keep the $75 million?
I read it was a torn Achilles tendon, not an ACL. – BRH
=========
You’re prolly right. I’m not good on body parts.
“Prolly”? ‘Stick, you’re slipping. I thought we were defending the American language from debasement and uncertitude?
I occasionally throw in a commonly mis-pronounced word using irony with artistic license to, in effect, poke fun at my own OCD foibles.
The use (or as I like to say, “yoose”) of “prolly” for “probably” and “prahlem” for “problem” I noticed being spoken continually by Fred Mishkin, a former Federal Reserve honcho and it drove me right up the wall.
The $75mm will be insured. Rodgers will prob not get 100% but maybe 80% or more.
How did this make you feel, Q?
All the air went out of the stadium in an instant and mine went with it.
If it wasn’t for Joe Namath, the Jets could be the NFL’s most consistent losers. After all, they haven’t won a title since that year. They may be cursed. Sorry, Q.
Well, at least the Jets won that first game of the season. The Giants lost 40 – 0.
The Giants are changing their name to the Midgets. Much more descriptive.
This is a perfect moment to remind you that you need to be actively working on your breathing exercises. When you get anxious deep breaths are even more important.
I wasn’t being sarcastic about your sarcasm, as posted above. I actually laughed.
Your comment about local buying is correct, IMO. I try to do that. See, at least you are stating a solution. I’d like to see more of this.
Here’s a proposal: A national strike. Our present economy is fragile, no matter what Biden says. A strike only needs about 5% participation, more or less. Can you imagine a 5% decrease in the GDP? Or for that matter lack of supply? A targeted strike, say by truckers (I know that was tried in Canada)?
Remember how people say we are only 9 meals away from revolt? Well…
Surely there’s more than 5% disgruntled US citizens. The point is, you wouldn’t need a big mass movement to bring about change.
You don’t even know who you are speaking with at this point Bill. You really need to get it together.
The story’s been non-stop on all the sports talk programs today. Achilles tendon ruptures can be career ending in some cases. Especially for 39 year olds going on 40. The Jets must feel snake bit.

Next thing ya know we’ll find out Rodgers is a ‘poofter’ (hat tip to GA) and he’s taking this injury as an opportunity to come out of the closet.
LOL! Do ya think? “Poofter” is another one of those remarkably descriptive Brit slang terms we should all be thankful for. Love it!
“Poofter” (also, “pooftah”) is actually decidedly Australian in origin.
Corrected. Either way, it’s great. Very evocative.
“Poofter” (also, “pooftah”) is actually decidedly Australian in origin. – Mike Sherman
===========
I request that Green Alba chime in here and give us your opinion whether “poofter” is of Brit (perhaps Scot) origin or Australian origin.
In either case it is really great slang word. The other day I was watching a movie on Netflix concerning the “Enigma Machine.” The actor Cumberbatch played Alan Turing and at some point in the story he was referred to as a “poofter.” I immediately recalled GA introducing me to that term in one of her comments.
Haven’t looked it up, but as far as I know it’s English (which doesn’t mean it’s not also Australian – cockney rhyming slang seems to have migrated there too). Not a word I really used and it was more of a 70s word, before ‘gay’ became a thing and well prior to political correctness.
I recall an English guy that briefly worked with me in France, in the 70s, referring jokingly to Earl Grey tea as ‘poofter tea’ when offering it around our little British contingent at work.
The FDA Approves New Pfizer And Moderna Boosters
The Food and Drug Administration has approved new booster shots by both Pfizer and Moderna. These shots are supposedly designed to target the XBB.1.5 subvariant (which is no longer dominant) and are expected to be made available later this week.
shtfplan.com/headline-news/the-fda-approves-new-pfizer-and-moderna-boosters
Was there ever any doubt?
Biden, mumbling: These ones work.
Per Biden:
“Hey folks, don’t be a dog faced pony soldier. You gotta get out there and get the shot, okay? I mean, you just gotta do this man! If you don’t get the shot then you are part of the problem. We are dealing with a pandemic of the unvaccinated here. These vaccines work. The boosters work. I wouldn’t be standing here telling you this if they didn’t. I was born in Scranton and my daddy worked in a coal mine, so I know a thing or three about this. Thank you, and God save the Queen.”
Ha, ha. You’ve been getting funnier and funnier. Keep up the sarcasm.
Hard to tell….was your comment sarcasm aimed at my sarcasm? 😉 We may start to tumble into the rabbit hole here.
And my son Beau came home from Iraq in a body bag because he didn’t get the vaccination.
I’m tired of the same old comments (except for OG). I would like to see actionable and realistic proposals for solutions to the issues facing us. I know the issues because I read about them every day here. And yes, there are real solutions, I believe. What good does it do CFNers to keep on hearing how the WEF is affecting our future – we already know that, or how bad, ineffectual our government is.
Re OG: I think I understand him. Much is to be admired. Yes, he seems to be obsessive. But it’s good he is. He has a very strong sense of justice and probably can’t abide people getting away with murder.
I can’t say I agree with everything he believes, but I certainly agree with his right to keep repeating what he claims has happened. Many posters don’t like that and call him crazy, but he’s not crazy at all. He’s frustrated that CFNers are saying that about him, and he strikes back, which is something I would do too, except he’s better at it than I am.
OG, please forgive me if I’m out of line. JHK greatly dislikes it when commenters give their opinions on what he’s thinking.
What total bullshit is this? I’m tired of seeing your same old comments too.
So scroll past them. You suddenly developed a temper?
Don’t tell me what to do. You make an insulting remark directed at me and then tell me to scroll by. Bite me.
Hey SoftStarLight, since the offer is on the table….can I **affectionately** bite you??? 😉
lol, what a bad bell you are 🙂
Yes, I can be a very bad bell. You have quite the way of ringing my clapper. lol
People have been cranky of late, Bill. Yes, our Lil’ SSL has become a firecracker. Who knew?
I’d guess (and I know she’ll probably cream me for this) she’s going through some hard times. But I still like her. I’d rather interact with a spunky woman than with a wishy-washy dishrag type. I’ve known both types. I’d rather deal with the former. My wife takes no shit from me, which is one of the reasons why I love her. She’s a Dorchester street kid ( if anyone knows Boston they’ll understand).
LOL! They don’t pronounce that one “Dooster,” do they?
You never answered my question Dis and I am waiting for an answer
Answered above. What? You’re afraid I was talking about you, aren’t you?
You were poised to pounce, weren’t you SSL? LOL! Firecracker!
Lol maybe. I was sorta poised to pounce. But you gave me an answer so i’m good for now.
Did you ever think I might have been laying a glue trap for you if you did? You never know! 😉
lol wow you are tricky! 🙂
He’s trying to stir up shit, as usual.
Bill, who “didn’t know where the trains were going.”
It pleases me to know that you of all people are loaded with spike protein.
“It pleases me to know that you of all people are loaded with spike protein.”
Whew nelly, things are getting hot in here now! Okay everyone, let’s take a step back and cut the blue wire on that detonation device there, okay? 🙂
If you peruse the archive, you will find that this is typically how I engage Bill.
It is what he earned.
All good. 😀
Right. That one sentence says volumes about Zilch Nada.

ZN holds accountable those who “didn’t know where the trains were going” last century while remaining completely silent on Lahaina today.
ZN is a zero-cred weasel. We all know that.
I would like to know what makes Bill think that he can set the conversation and the narrative? Why is Bill suddenly the arbiter of what comments are good and what comments are not. When you say clueless things prepare to be addressed.
I was stating my feelings and opinion – not telling people what to say. I said, “ I would like to see…” you need to better understand feelings.
Oh please, you really are trying to lecture me on understanding feelings? Bill, read what you wrote..”I’m tired of the same old comments (except for OG).” That is maybe your feeling or it may be your opinion. Either way I found it objectionable and so I addressed it. Are there any other feelings you wish to share so that I can dissect and inspect them?
I appreciate that Bill gave the comment coterie a little nudge.
Sometimes an ant farm can use a little tap to stir activity
Re: actionable and realistic proposals for solutions to the issues facing us….
There are many points made to this throughout past comments, but you have to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Problem is, there are so many problems we are facing in society and as a civilization, where do you even begin to start? I think that is where some of the humor and light-hearted comments come into play, to lighten the mood, because all of this can be rather downright depressing when you really think about it. We are a small group of people, up against a globalist agenda with unlimited resources.
So, I think you need to start small, at the community level, get down to grassroots and really effect change in the school boards, on the city council, etc. Look out for yourself, and the neighbor if you can stand him. Grow your own food, attend local meetings and farmer markets, shop and buy locally made goods. I buy from my local hardware store when I can, instead of the big Home Depot or Wal-Mart.
There is so much more than can be extrapolated upon regarding this topic. I will leave it at that and wait for others to chime in.
I wasn’t being sarcastic about your sarcasm, as posted above. I actually laughed.
Your comment about local buying is correct, IMO. I try to do that. See, at least you are stating a solution. I’d like to see more of this.

Surely there’s more than 5% disgruntled US citizens. The point is, you wouldn’t need a big mass movement to bring about change.
I would love to see a national strike, especially as others on here have proposed regarding payment of federal income taxes. The problem is that no one seems to care enough to gather the momentum to do anything about it. As long as there are still cheese doodles in the store, porn to stream online, NFL games to watch on Sundays, then people are not going to stand up and do anything about the plight in the world.
For all the technology and interconnectedness we have today, I think getting people to stand together for a common cause now is harder than ever. I think back to the early founding of this country, people had a common cause to rally around, they could stand on a soap box in the public square, and post bills on the fences, all which had a profound impact on public discourse. Nowadays people are all squirreled away in their private tunnels doing and thinking exactly as “they” please, not as would please over all “society”.
I would love it if people collectively said: “You know what, prices at McDonald’s are way too high for what you get, I am no longer eating their chemically processed meat fat”. No, instead they suck it up and just hand over the credit card for more garbage.
I purposely refuse to buy certain things and do business with particular companies purely on principal. Now I am only one small fish in a very large multi-national pond, so unless more people are with me then the effect is minimal. But at least I am doing what I personally feel is right.
First of all, I can get rid of spike proteins in my body.
Second of all, STFU. You are such a hateful person.
Good for you, cowbell. At least you agree with me about a national strike. My point is not to get everyone to go on strike, but target those who might do so. I think it can be done. I wish I wasn’t so old and had the emotional energy to pull it off. Not so long ago, my wife and I decided to retire from being activists.
Bill’s comments are gettin plopped like any which where.
Yeah, at first I thought he was calling me a hateful person, but I used common logic and deductive reasoning to determine who I believe this phrase was directed towards.
Somewhere in New England:
“William! Why are you all red? You should see yourself right now angrily finger-pecking at your laptop… are you visiting that crazy website again? You know what the doctuh said about your blood pressure? William?”
There is nothing lower than you Bill. Or those like you.
Literally nothing.
I appreciate you standing up for me, Bill. You are a good man. Thank you.

Admittedly I should handle all the “crazy” insults better than I do. I will redouble my efforts. Please know that I do not act out of pride (if “crazy” is thinking different – I’m admittedly the King of Crazy). No, I act out of frustration at the irrelevance and resulting inefficiencies of these constant ad homs.
And what really frustrates me is this kind of “logic”:
He’s a raving lunatic therefore a 8′ 5+ mile fence should have been top-priority – to keep the dust in. It makes perfect sense because some prairie guy is loopy. All very innocent until someone puts a hot, smoking gun on the table in front of my eyes (and, even then, maybe …).
That drives me crazy!
Well it sounds like you should learn impulse control
Yes, ma’am.
This is incredibly perplexing.
For all the wrong reasons.
He is not making this statement before congress, a board of supervisors meaning, a planning commission, a town meeting, a public input committee, a working group, a policy think-tank, the Boston Proud Geezers chapter, etc.
No, he’s making this comment on a blog which serves to make people aware of the problems, the people behind them, the theories, the nex?s that draw them together.
Bill should know that learning never stops. The reading never stops. The work towards understanding never stops. Read and re-read. Think and think again. Know your place.
Bill certainly must not believe that working to understand the godhead entitles one to play god.
BTW, I dropped out of the Boston Proud Geezers because they’re too old and too proud.
Do they actually have a Proud Geezers? I used to call the condoplex I lived in for a while the GeezerPlex.
There’s a place a little south of Boston called Linden Ponds. It’s very upscale. I wouldn’t live there, ever. Many of the residents use walkers, but are independent. Find a resident 100 years old, and someone else would top that at 105. Literally. I’m too young to live there at 78, anyway
I wouldn’t take being called ‘kid’ too well.
They didn’t much care for me at the GeezerPlex either. I was ages 47-56 while I lived there, while the typical resident’s age was 80+. But I had a good time messing with them anyway.
They had two consecutive doors down in the lobby to separate it from the foyer coming off the underground parking lot, used to wait for the elevators. I used to come barreling through them with a full head of steam and scare the shit out of the geezers coming from the other direction. Got constant warnings to slow my roll before I killed someone. Same thing with driving in or out of the garage. I couldn’t possibly drive slow enough to make them happy.
But I earned my keep a few years later when I came home for lunch and caught a fire in progress. One of the old biddies was cooking up a pork chop on her stove, got distracted and wandered off to gab with one of her neighbors, and was just short of starting a major fire. Fortunately the old bird left the door unlocked, so I barged in, turned off the stove, threw the pan in the sink, smothered the fire, and opened the patio door to start clearing the smoke, then called the FD and went door to door just to be sure, since it would take a year and half to evacuate all the old coots if it was worse than I thought. Needless to say, I was man of the hour after that.
Funny part was, when the Complex custodian tried to tell the old woman what she’d done and explain the seriousness of her actions, she did her best Q.’s Peter imitation, and didn’t understand a word she said. Completely out to lunch mentally. But I think her relatives moved her out of there not long after that. Wasn’t long after that I moved out too. A bit too geriatric for my taste.
“JHK greatly dislikes it when commenters give their opinions on what he’s thinking.”

Aren’t you the one who says there’s no god? Why should I then try to understand the godhead, according to your logic?
One of my points was that all the CFNers who post here regularly have heard the same comments many times over. I would hope that it isn’t necessary to assume regulars here need to hear the same thing over and over before they get that point.
There’s so much to talk about in this world.
Not so long ago, my wife and I decided to retire from being activists.
Thank you both for your service!
Don’t let those good sounding words suck you in. Just because you buy certain things and not others doesn’t mean your some kind of activist.
I took it as two separate things, SSL. Bill and his wife were activists while they currently vote with their dollars.
Follow the $
As a few new platforms have been created very recently.
A digital carbon trading platform and a blockchain platform.
They are all voluntary, for now.
Designed to allow corporations to trade easily.
Have you witnessed the carbon footprint pledge/seal on online shopping?
Your consumption already has carbon tagging.
It’s important for all to know this.
Because what is not voluntary will soon be obligatory.
If you can’t be legislated to create the new false commodity, you will be nudged towards it through commerce and the all powerful dollar.
Did you think they would stop at closing the accounts of Canadian truckers?
Protesters?
Canceling credit towards gun purchases?
Behavior will be dictated and a new commodity will be born.
You can try and boycott the marketplaces introducing it. But there are so few marketplaces and so few banks and so little choice, but to capitulate.
It’s cheaper and easier
BTW Bill, I don’t believe to understand what is god. But it’s a big business believing in someone said that someone said that someone said that god said.
I posted slides showing most of this several years ago.
If you want to know what is coming, get an account at WEF, and go through the materials.
They don’t even really hide it, but most people simply don’t know or cannot accept what is being done and fall into cognitive dissonance and double down.
Little Rocket Man is set to meet for a summit with Putin in Vladivostok. Any thoughts on what they might chit-chat about? Maybe N. Korea will petition to join the BRICS movement?
He should. He is a captive of China.
Trump’s approach here was a good one.
Just another problem now.
Phew, Vladivostok!
That’s a long way from Moscow, and a long way from NKorea. Little Rocket Man is arriving by train. Imagine riding in a train thru that bleak landscape, thru China & Mongolia, and your destination is Vladivostok? The train most likely has a well stocked barcar, and sleeping compartments full of hookers.
When is the last time Little Rocket Man left NKorea. I don’t think he gets around much.
LRM is likely justifiably paranoid that he might get the boot while “…the cat’s away…”
Probably the same reason he doesn’t fly: things “…happen to…” aircraft.
Vladivostok closes at 4:30 pm local time. But they sell trinkets until then.

I heard on a podcast last night that Dems now have absolutely no choice whatsoever but to continue warring against the Russians to the very last Ukrainian man breathing (and beyond) because a Russian victory means war crimes tribunals for the American bioweapons labs unearthed throughout Ukraine these past 18 months.

I do not understand what that even means, getsome. Michael Jaco claims to be former Special Forces and former CIA. What did I do wrong?
It means they are the most expensive expendable retards used by the state to invade foreign countries and kickoff neocon imperialistic wars.
They can do a lot of push-ups and run long distances.
In the late 80’s Hollywood in conjunction with the deep state embarked on a jingoistic myth-making quest which indoctrinated children of that era and after to believe these tips of the spear to be heroes and the best of the best.
Despite never winning a war.

Thus Michael Jaco and everything that he has to say are to be ignored? Even though that makes no logical sense?

Anthea, up-thread:
Lots of interesting questions.
Re Mexico, Canada, Australia, think
PACIFIC RIM.
The Chinese diaspora has always been active throughout the Pacific Rim.
Read Sterling and Peggy Seagraves’s Lords of the Rim. I am sure I have mentioned this book. Super-interesting and super-readable.
You get a good picture of how the diaspora relates to the families’ home provinces, especially those that are themselves coastal (e.g., Fujian province, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, etc). .
From this (geographical) POV it is entirely to be expected that China and Chinese tongs, financiers, etc, would have an increasing penetration of Mexico. Mexico is an *additional* route of penetration into the USA (in addition to California). The Chinese have a huge presence also in Vancouver.
. . .
Anthea: The part I don’t get is why the Western powers have undertaken a controlled demolition of the West. Maybe Ukraine is not so much about conquering Russia as it is about bankrupting (and disarming) the West. How do the elites benefit from the destruction of the West and Western Civilization? Why destroy Europe?”
According to Michael Hudson, this is really what the Ukraine folly is about. As of January Hudson stated clearly that the the USA was trying to break Europe, esp. Germany (sorry I can’t find this piece quickly at the Unz Review; this isn’t exactly what I was looking for but worth a read;
httpX://michael-hudson.com/2022/02/america-defeats-germany-for-the-third-time-in-a-century/ ). Destroy it as a competitor to the USA and bring it under even tighter USA control. That seems to have succeeded. But now does this move by the Yanks/NATO relate to the WEF? That I, too, would like to understand better.
Now that they have done so, they are not stopping. Don’t know how to stop. I don’t think anyone in DC quite knows what their “war goals” now are, or where the off-ramp is.. But they have driven down Germany and the EU. (And boosted the AfD!)
Islander – all the Chinee BANG BANG going on these days in Vancouver-by-the-Void is far from what I observed during my decade living there (precisely 1970s). I spent a lot of time in Chinatown and worked with both ethnic Chinese and immigrants.
Dude known for money-laundering is having a pleasant coffee with an associate, [unwisely] sitting at a window. Gets blasted away in broad daylight. Motive? Only speculative. A contract killing for money-laundering? Life’s getting exciting around Mount Pleasant.
The three-story wooden house I moved into in 1972 at 26th & Sophia (border between working-class and petit bourgeois) I could have bought for US$ 70,000. Rather a sizable corner lot it sits on (the Italians would sneak up and steal our ripe pears off a tree next to the house). Today that plot is probably worth US$ 8 million.
No longer can the polite Canadians afford to live in the largest city in the west, unless they are fortunate enough to own or inherit property.
The Chinese are thick-as-flies down in the Delta, 20 minutes south of Vancouver proper. I walked through a mall in Richmond and the only sign in the entire building in English was EXIT.
Very interesting.
“all the Chinee BANG BANG going on these days in Vancouver-by-the-Void”—
Sounds like Vancouver is significantly more dangerous now than earlier.
Is this the result of infighting among Chinese tongs/cartels?
One of the Seagraves’ books on China has a lot of background on the rise of Chiang and his associations with the Green Gang in Shanghai. I think that book was The Soong Dynasty (which covers a lot of Chinese 20th C political history), but it might have been Lords of the Rim. I read them back to back, but quite awhile ago now.
Since reading those books I have wondered a lot as to the actual financial relationships between our economic and military “adversaries” the Chinese and American finance. Because Chinese finance seems to be extremely powerful in North America. But basically behind the scenes.
IOW it seems like the diaspora Chinese community maintains very strong ties with its local members in China.
Do you any thoughts or info on this?
If war breaks out between the West & China, which side will this Chinese diaspora be on?
I suspect we’ll see articles like:
“US Aircraft sunk in South China Sea, Trudeau worried about backlash against Chinese community in Vancouver,”
Xi Jinping, addressing whether or not Chinese living in the West are still Chinese: “Tell them to look in the mirror.”
Much is made of Roosevelt rounding up Japanese-Americans in 1942 and putting them in camps. The fact is, as Ladislaw Ferrago pointed out in his masterful ‘Game of the Foxes’, about Axis espionage in WW2, thousands of Japanese young men had left the US in 1937 to join the Japanese Army to fight in China. Many had then returned to California. That’s why they were rounded up.
“Sounds like Vancouver is significantly more dangerous now than earlier.
Is this the result of infighting among Chinese tongs/cartels?”
Vancouver is NOT significantly more dangerous now. Not even close. I lived there the first half-century of my life. A few more drug deaths, but that’s par for the course everywhere, and no surprise since it’s a port city.
There are no Chinese gangs/cartels. Where do you come up with this stuff? Gangs are Vietnamese, Sikh, and biker (though Hell’s Angels have been routed for the most part). Even then, it’s in the suburbs, not the city proper.
If you want to shit on the Chinese, then it’s their silent and persistent takeover vis-a-vis real estate. But can you fault them for the opening? The blame goes to various levels of gov’t that have given up on White demographics, and just want the short term economic boost for votes.
My Japanese acupuncturist friend opined that Vancouver was too YIN; that made sense to me and explained all the red meat and ice hockey and trips to YANG Mexico & Hawaii – trying to restore a balance.
I always liked its nickname: “Terminal City”. Cloudy, gloomy, heavy-drinking, cold, heroin, dour, suicide, rain forest rot looming, unforgiving seas crowding in.
I called my video / film studio at 26th & Sophia “TERMINAL CITY IMAGE COMPOUND”.
Not far from Queen E. park, where we used to trail the doggies having their morning doo-doo, to inconspicuously scout for “little tit” psilocybin ‘shrooms.
Once in a while the Mounties would drop around and chase us off.
If Vancouver is Yin, Speedy, then mid- and Eastern Canada is off-the-charts Yin, plus Northern U.S., Russia, etc. (Cold is the essence most associated with Yin.) And, as you would know, Vancouver/Victoria have, easily, the mildest and shortest winters in Canada and compared with other Northern climates (warmer trade winds off the Pacific).
I prefer the tridosha Ayurvedic system more than the Chinese — air, earth/water, and fire. It emphasizes the individual, from birth, more than the cosmic.
P.S. I lived less than 2 miles from your studio for about 2 years, on 13th and Ontario. But then I lived just about everywhere in Vancouver at some point.
Why does the destruction of the West have to be intentional? Can no one fathom a true self-cannibalizing collapse, “elites” and all? Is this the last vestige of a desire to see one’s “side” victorious some way, any way?
Why does the destruction of the West have to be intentional?

Michael Hudson, key idea:
“It is more realistic to view U.S. economic and foreign policy in terms of the military-industrial complex, the oil and gas (and mining) complex, and the banking and real estate complex than in terms of the political policy of Republicans and Democrats. . . . ”
httpX://michael-hudson.com/2022/02/america-defeats-germany-for-the-third-time-in-a-century/
I’ve heard the oil and gas complex and the MIC referred to as the Texas A&M wing and the banking and real estate complex referred to as the Yale wing. The political parties are something more like storefronts rather than actual parties.
Excellent analogy.
Thee are no longer idealistic parties, just competitors for power in DC.
I cannot name one issue where there is an actual difference other than who is going to have the majority in Washington.
The uniparty, the Deep State is in control of the federal level of institutions today, meaning they control everything. A hope for the future, a few states like Texas and Florida are being undercut by Californication. The gimmes are winning, hands down.
I keep looking for reasons for hope for the futures of the folks but the reasons are becoming fewer and fewer as the Deep State continues to build power. I see people debate on this blog about the veracity of Trump. They do not seem to realize that he and his base are the ONLY thing that is left to counter the onslaught of the socialists, especially not the GOP.
I hope that all the folks that are voting against Trump because of his past realize they are promoting the Deep State takeover. The people are what is destroying this country.
Much of that is because the population has been kept intentionally dumb by the non-education system and the fact that they have rigged pop culture to idolize and idealize the basest and the most stupid ideas, content, people, etc. Mass stupidity and apathy are the biggest underpinnings of the globalists’ power. But yeah I am not even sure the parties compete for power as much as collaborate.
Alas for Frau Eli.
Alas for Hans.
‘Sorry, you’re delusional and well-fed your propaganda if all you’ve got is “Putin and his murderous thugs.”
Just because it was fed to you ever since Russia’s leader said “Enough!” to the West does not make it so.
History will remember Mr Putin and his exceptional assistants much more kindly than these amoral, rogue and bloodthirsty sick jokes we presume to pass off to the world as paragons of “exceptionalism’s” products of a superior, if not the ‘supreme’ nation.
Not even close.’ DaveO
The fact remains that Putin kills those who speak out against him and oppose him. The list of his victims is a long one. No, just because our nation is in decline one shouldn’t think that Putin’s tyranny is a better alternative. And that’s what it is, tyranny, despotism, rule through fear and election rigging. Propaganda and brainwashing can be used just as effectively in Russia as it is here.
Are you oblivious to twentieth century history and the brute force domination of many countries by the USSR using tactics similar to what Russia uses today? Thousands were killed in the 1956 uprising in Hungary opposing communism. While Russia itself may no longer be considered communist, its governance still employs many of its tactics if not its ideology.
The Soviets banished hundreds of thousands of people from the Baltics to prison camps and agricultural collectives in Siberia and central Asia while encouraging large-scale Russian immigration. Finally, after a failed coup by stone commies, the Soviet Union recognized the independence of the Baltics.
‘Georgia became the first Soviet republic to hold a democratic election in 1991 when Soviet dissident Zviad Gamsakhurdia won the presidency. His tenure was brief, however, and a military coup brought former Soviet foreign minister Eduard Shevardnadze to power in 1992. Widespread corruption and economic instability led to the peaceable Rose Revolution in 2003 that drove Shevardnadze from power.
Secessionist movements in the ethnic Russian enclaves of Abkhazia and South Ossetia have led to tense relations with Russia. After Russian forces crossed the border to join separatist fighters in South Ossetia in a brief war in August 2008, Georgia turned increasingly to the West and signed an association agreement with the EU in 2014.’
Putin’s claim to Ukraine is dubious at best, and Yanukovych lied to and betrayed the Ukrainian people, saying that he would side with the West and then reneging and switching to Russia, which is where he fled after the people wanted his head. The Ukrainian people by and large do not want to live under Russian rule.
The history of Russia cannot be separated from that of the USSR and its influence over Putin has not been for the better. You ascribe a nobility to Putin that is not deserved. Wanting what his nation has, a protected border for example, doesn’t change what he is.
Stop living in dreamland and recognize the fact that Russia may well be our biggest threat after China. Kim Jong Un visits Putin. Are you delighted with the pairing? Yeah, two of humanity’s finest. Fuck ’em both.
I’m for the West or maybe I should say a revived and more honorable West.
Here we go again…
The regions you mention are all in the Caspian oil area. The eastern extension of Ukraine is only 1000 miles from Baku. Russia will defend its oil country, period, like we would fight to keep Texas or Alaska from seceding. (Stand by, you may see that in the next few years in Texas.)
Face it spur, Russia and the USA are two sides of a coin. Russia kills political opposition, ask Seth Rich and many others in Clinton’s wake or the 58000 folks who died in Vietnam whether America, specifically the Deep State is guiltless.
The future of this planet is increasing violence in pursuit of diminishing resources, with the American empire, what is left of it in the middle of the melee. I will not be here, but my money and guidance to my family will be centered on the increasing submission of the USA and the domination of the China-Russia led axis known as BRICS++. The WEF will be a victim of academic arrogance.

Michael Hudson, key idea: “It is more realistic to view U.S. economic and foreign policy in terms of the military-industrial complex, the oil and gas (and mining) complex, and the banking and real estate complex…”
Definition of an academic: take a core idea and add some adjectives and nouns.
MitchellC from, oh I don’t know, many years before:
Energy = MIC = $USD
—
Anywho, the core question of our age, the one to be asked generations/centuries hence, is why was the USA (and UK/D/FR as well) *internally* destroyed?
Why destroy the heritage populations and imperial cultural legacies? After all, the people were fully on board, absolutely committed in fact, to devoted continuation of empire and the personal sacrifices it entailed.
My theory is that leadership had no choice. Once again, that old bugaboo of limits, comprised of population overshoot, resource depletion and environmental degradation (real, such as water and arable land) forced their hand.
IOW, they had no choice other than to go all in ‘hog’ (as in a hi-lo poker game for the entire pot) to take out both domestic and foreign adversaries.
Think it through: the foreign angle is easy simply because the private finance system needs continual growth that is entirely dependent on energy surplus.
But why the domestic populations? Because, as Hubber pointed out 70 years ago, just gaining another temporary surplus does nothing to solve the long term problem of too many Indians.
So, assuming we had vanquished Russia, dividing its natural resources as the resulting spoils of war, there would still be this intractable situation of too many entitled and entirely self satisfied mass of peons all expecting they hade some agency and voice in the governance of affairs.
Yeah, right! LOL
I think the idea was to start transitioning the populations to the ultimate goal of 10k elite, 10m engineers & managers and 490m cattle under the assumption that leading edge bio, chem, social and conventional weapons and deployment could be achieved via small, specialized forces.
Honestly, I’m not sure that is even a bad strategy. I mean, look around you, are your fellow ‘citizens’ worthy of esteem, respect or fear?
However, where the plan failed of course was to take out Russia – it turns out we simply didn’t have the advanced types of weapons that would have delivered a certain victory.
And so, when the history is written, I believe it will conclude that, while indeed a very bold – and necessary – strategy, the final attempt playing the great game towards gaining complete global conquest failed simply because of the proverbial warning “for want of a nail …”
Well, you’d have to throw in greed and incompetence as well. If the US elites had actually invested all the money they stole in advanced weaponry that actually worked like Russia did rather than turning the whole thing into a grifting operation that produced pure junk, things might look a little different now. But once again, they just couldn’t help themselves, which speaks to the basic motivation of capitalism and capitalists itself, which is personal enrichment over everything else. Did they underestimate Russia and China or did they just not give a rat’s ass either way – aka hubris? Probably both, but in any case, here we are.
Of course there’s still the outside chance that the plan was to sell out and collapse the west all along and merge with Russia and China as a 21st century global conglomerate. We’ll have to wait and see how all that plays out. I’d estimate the odds as 60/40 against for that scenario, but nothing would surprise me at this point.
So many resources have been squandered on “competition,” most of which was/is for show.
As someone recently noted—maybe Andrei Martyanov—in Russia they have just one defense contractor: the government of the RF.
There are no “profits” for shareholders. The only metric is how well the damn things work.
Looks like their system can outshoot ours.
@ Disaffected:
If the Western PTB’s plan was to “sell out and collapse the West” and “merge with Russia and China as a 21st Century global conglomerate,” I fea they will get doiuble-crossed on that. Who needs them?
TPTB are not rolling the dice with all their money on the table and uncertainty of their alliances. The people that brought you that Tuesday in September 2001 do not execute like that. They know what they’re doing while they rollout their fancy DEWs.
I think so too. Just hedging my bet.
But I do wonder why Russia and China have played along with the ruse. Surely they know the truth of the matter.
Truly they play their role as adversary while, behind the scenes, all wrestlers drink beer and laugh together.
That is, their elites and our elites are in cahoots against us all.
I don’t think that Russia and China are both on the side of the west.
I think that just China is. But they have learned that there is no honor among thieves, so they are turning to an alliance with Russia now.
“Once again, that old bugaboo of limits, comprised of population overshoot, resource depletion and environmental degradation (real, such as water and arable land) forced their hand.”
You didn’t mention financial “overshoot.”
I think you keep banging around the central problem,
Sheeple and dependence. The Deep State, both Dem and GOP have spent trillions with the aim being the dependence of the Gimme set on the government. Manipulation of education toward indoctrination and the increasing importation of people used to socialistic dependence have been the key, but the destruction of entrepenuership through moving manufacturing overseas has been a big contributor.
The elite class want a thrifty working class to do their bidding. Shades of feudalism. The real shame of it is the peons have thrown away their middle class position themselves.
Government is a reflection of the people in a republic, until it isn’t. We are seeing that transition now.
Russia is an excuse, China is a means to an end. The Mob need China to be the cheap labor pool for manufacturing to keep our people “working at Mickey DS”.
As long as the feudal society is the goal of the elite, the dependence pathway will continue. The shame of it is that the Deep State has been able to pull the wool over the eyes of a very undereducated society.
Like the Middle Ages, the elite control through fear.
Then, it was fear of religion, as the elite was in the Church. The secular elite fought between themselves promoting fear amongst the serfs. The manor system evolved as the protection device.
Today, fear of disease, Russia, China, uncontrolled immigration, shots, climate change, Iran, and anything else the elite can dream up.
Are the Democratic cities today’s manor system?
John,
You are aware that the BIGGEST gimme’s include:
-Musk
-Raytheon
-GM
-TARP recipients from Goldman to BofA
-Boeing
-General Dynamics
-Booz Allen
-KBR
-Amazon Cloud
-Pfizer
and on and on
You are right. Even the Corporations are gimmes, dependent on this despicable government for their dog treats.
As is Wall Street, the banks and the financial sector. All are like puppies begging for their handouts.
The White House, with all its programs like Climate change and Covid policies, the MIC and its military budget, and the never ending welfare programs, also promoted from the WH.
In the Constitution, the people are supposed to control the government.
Uh huh!
But JohnAZ…these corporate ‘socialists’ are surely TPTB that run the ‘government’, purely for their own gain & entertainment. It’s not a bunch of puppies begging for treats – it’s a wolf pack, extracting what it desires without remorse.
Good catch! I hate the gimme angle because it is punching down and not up in most cases.
Nah. I don’t think they made the decision to destroy “heritage populations and imperial cultural legacies” because of “population overshoot, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.”
For starters, neither the US nor Europe had a population problem before immigration. Without immigration, the population of the US would not have increased at all since the sixties or seventies. Europe’s native population was and is actually declining.
The US has vast resources–more than enough for its population, absent immigration, and probably even with it. Europe may be low on resources, but, when your home country is low on resources, you import them, which is what China is doing: gaining control of resource-rich areas of the rest of the world. Sheesh! That’s the way the domestic resource problem is solved–and always has been solved. No need to re-invent the wheel, here.
It’s true that there’s a serious problem with environmental degradation, but most of this can be solved by other means than killing off the population. Environmental degradation is largely caused by economic centralization. E.g., the poisoning of agricultural lands through chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and CAFOs are a result of the centralization of agriculture. So is the shitty quality of the food. The same is true of many other environmental problems.
If the PTB were really intent on addressing population/resource depletion/environmental degradation problems, they’d be looking at India, Africa, and maybe China (if possible). India and Africa have immense resources. If the PTB could just get rid of the people, they’d kill at least two birds with one stone. (Not that I advocate for that.) They’d also access immense wealth.
So…no. I think the controlled demolition of the West is because the PTB (whoever they are) recognize that the jig is up with Western monetary systems and financialization rackets. That’s the ship that’s sinking.
.
I don’t understand monetary and financialization rackets well enough to figure out how the PTB plan to position themselves subsequent to this collapse. As I see it, they’re sitting on a mountain of uncollectable IOUs, which will soon be revealed to be written out on toilet paper. That is their “wealth.” What to do?
The sensible thing to do would be to convert all that fiat to real assets–before it becomes worthless. Thing is, by collapsing the West, it seems to me that they are rendering any real assets they might acquire worthless. I’m not seeing the sense in buying up commerical real estate in decaying cities. Residential real estate is a depreciating asset and banks traditionally don’t want to be bothered with it. Good luck profiting from residential rental properties in a nation in collapse. You could maybe come out on agricultural land, if you hadn’t made it impossible to buy farm machinery, chemical fertilizers and other inputs, and fossil fuels.
So…. Invest all that fiat outside the collapsing West? I don’t know how that would work.
FYI – I clicked on your name’s hotlink and was taken to a website with an intro message of:
Join our mailing list and get a 20% your order. which, of course, does not make sense.
That’s my old website for the soap business, which I sold a few months ago. The website is now under new ownership.
The new owners are good people. The wife has a strong background in cosmetology, and I got the impression that she is no stranger to cosmetic chemistry and formulating her own stuff. They own a couple of stores selling bath-and-body stuff, one in Independence, Missouri, and one in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. They also own several other businesses. Smart, skilled people.
Congratulations on your entrepreneurial pursuit. Well done!
Oh wow! I have a cousin in Missouri and she might be interested so I will pass the info along as she might want to shop at the store the old fashioned way lol!
Looks like their shop in in Lee’s Summit. They said they were going to open a shop in Independence, but I guess they changed their minds. Lee’s Summit is a good choice–probably the most affluent community on the Missouri side of the state line. (Independence is kind of a dump.)
I had a look at the website, which I haven’t looked at for a long time. They’ve changed it a lot. I see she’s doing the soaps in loaf molds instead of cavity molds. (Cavity molds give you a bar of soap shaped like the Green Man, or with the Great Wave of Tanagawa imprinted on the top–or just about anything you want.) There are different reasons for prefering loaf molds. One is that the swirls are fun, and the other is that they are more suited to cranking out a lot of product.
Of course, when you sell a business, you’ve spent years working out every detail. You feel you have the coolest logo, the most fan-fucking-tastic labels, and the best-of-the-best fragrances. So you are surprised that anyone would want to change anything. (Could be that Nancy doesn’t want to stay up all night designing labels and likes different fragrances than I do.)
I see they’re temporarily closed to welcome a new baby, but I should try to get over to their shop, as I’d enjoy chatting with Nancy. I shop in Lee’s Summit pretty regularly.
Running a store and manufacturing the products for it is a BIG job! It would be fun, though. I’d put the soap lab at the back of the store and do the manufacturing work on the spot.
Oh! I took a closer look, and Nancy IS using the cavity molds! They sell better, I think.
That is so incredibly interesting, Anthea. I can see how working with the leaf molds would be much more fun and feel more creative but also that cavity molds would sell better. Bar soap being most familiar just generally speaking. What are your favorite fragrances? I am trying a set of vegan soaps from Crate 61 right now and so far I love them. My favorites in the fragrance department are Coconut and Oatmeal Shea.
I am trying a set of vegan soaps from Crate 61 right now and so far I love them. – SSL
===========
No offense SSL and Anthea but the last thing in the world I would give even a second’s thought to is soap.
Q: As opposed to important pursuits like watching pro-football and agonizing over acl injuries to your favorite player?
@ SoftStarLight:
My favorite fragrances are ones I selected from websites that sell soapmaking supplies. I don’t know how much luck you would have finding these scents in shops or online stores.
My thinking, when it comes to a fragrance line, is that your line should include florals, “ocean” scents, “green” scents, woody scents, and fruity scents. So you’re on a mission to find the very best of these. You also want to carry the old reliable lavender and patchouli.
The best florals I found were Rosebud, from Arizona Mad Oils and Carnal Flower, from Wellington. There are literally HUNDREDS of rose fragrance oils, but I think Rosebud is the best. Carnal Flower is a designer dupe that is very unusual–kind of heady and heavy, and definitely a night-time scent. I re-named it Poet’s Narcissus. I also really like Orange Blossom, the Jo Malone dupe from Wellington.
My favorite “ocean” scent is Sea Salt, from Brambleberry. Another big customer favorite was Beach, a Bobbi Brown dupe.
The best “green” scent–and a real knock-out–is Elderflower, from Arizona Mad Oils.
Woody scents are tough, as all the commercial ones seem to be crap. I made a cedar scent by blending cedar essential oil with a little Rosebud, a little patchouli, a little orange, and a little musk. I also made a Merlin’s Path blend, but I never could seem to get that one right. I’d still like to try blending Rosebud, apple, and predominantly oakmoss, but I guess I’m out of that game.
For fruity scents, the best one, hands-down, is Brambleberry’s Bali Breeze. I also used to make a Cherry blend, but the companies kept discontinuing the cherry fragrances I was using to make the blend.
You can buy very small bottles, or even sample bottles, from some of these companies.
If you want to have some fun without actually making soap, you can use the fragrance oils to make perfumes–or room sprays, if you prefer.
Get about a quart of cyclomethicone and some one-ounce spray bottles and some pipettes. Fill the one-ounce bottles with cyclomethicone up to the shoulder and then use your pipette to squirt 3 milliliters of fragrance oil into the bottle. Cap and shake. You now have perfume.
Some scents work well as perfumes, and some don’t. Some of the ones that work well are Elderflower, Bali Breeze, Beach, and Carnal Flower–and also some of the Jo Malone dupes, like Wood Sage and Sea Salt.
If you have a look at the Wellington website, you’ll see that they carry a LOT of designer dupes. You can make your own designer dupe of your favorite perfume (if it’s one they carry). They do carry a dupe of Armani Code, for the menfolk, and it’s nice. Beware of their Light Blue. It is a very weak scent.
Another fun thing to do is to use these fragrances to make bath bombs. Bath bombs take a little practice, but many people make their own.
@ Q. Shtik:
Most commercial “soaps” are bad for your skin. Most are not soaps at all (and cannot legally be labeled as soaps and are thus called “beauty bars” or some such), but detergents. You are washing your body and hair with the equivalent of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Your scalp is particularly sensitive to this, as this is why you get dandruff. That crap is very harsh and drying. It will also give you acne, due to drying out the skin.
Some people get a lot of pleasure out of colors and fragrances, and some people don’t. But, as a language buff, it would help if you realized that scents are a whole language unto themselves. As far as that goes, any and all things crafted by humans are “speaking” to you at some level.
Just as an aside, one fragrance I always detested was Dragon’s Blood. To me, it smells like vinyl car upholstery and motor oil, with some musky notes thrown in. I couldn’t understand why so many people liked it. Then I realized that the smell of vinyl car upholstery and motor oil was their “happy place.”
Another example is Bobbi Brown’s Beach perfume. Its most predominant note is the smell of sun-tan lotion. People swear that it reminds them of being at the beach–and often they don’t know why.
Colors are also “speaking” to you, as are the combinations. So are the ornamental “plastic” features of an object, even if two-dimensional.
Like your art teacher back in high school used to say, “Look, look, LOOK.” (My music teacher back in high school used to scream, “Listen, listen, LISTEN!”) This is why JHK gripes about modern architecture. He knows that “language” of that craft.
To be honest, I have little understanding of architectural stuff. Once I went to visit a new hotel with an architect friend, and he had to point out to me the offensive ecclecticism. I didn’t know a New Orleans-style balcony when I saw one, and wouldn’t have thought about whether it went with Japanese paintings or Greek columns.
LOL Q that is because you are dirty and stinky 😀
Thank you for all that info Anthea! I love bath bombs! So relaxing. I think my favorite scents are the ocean scents and the fruity scents. I haven’t done perfume in a while as I have preferred after bath or shower body mists instead because perfume can be so overwhelming and sometimes can even give me a headache. Though I purchase more conventional products from Bath & Body Works but would prefer healthier alternatives (maybe you have suggestions?). I love online shopping so. My favorite body mists scents right now are Cotton Blossom and Sexiest Fantasies.
@ SoftStarLight:
Fragrance preferences seem to be highly individual. Every soapmaker seems to wind up with a distinctive “line.”
It’s funny, but when I first started making soap, I was absolutely in love with almost every fragrance I tried. It takes you a couple of years to get over the thrill of it all.
For more natural fragrances, you’d have to go with only essential oils. The reason most soapmakers use fragrance oils (which are synthetic) is because there are so few essential oils that are affordable for soapmaking. Sandalwood costs about $160/ounce, and it only gets worse from there.
But if you’re just indulging in scents for funsies (and you don’t need to buy 16-ounce bottles), you can afford to play with some of the more expensive stuff.
What I would probably choose for a natural body spray would be a floral water or a blend of floral waters. New Directions Aromatics carries a large line of floral waters (aka hydrosols). I made a blend of lavender, rose, neroli, rose geranium, ylang-ylang, and helichrysum, which I think has a fresh, clean scent and freshens the skin after exposure to sun and wind and such. It also works as a deodorant, but I’m not sure which floral water is the one that’s effective for that. I think probably rose geranium. (Later I added panthenol, urea, glycerin, silk amino acids, Honeyquat, and peony extract, to make a truly killer product, and because I like playing around with that stuff.) The herbal extracts are also interesting additions to cosmetic products, and they have a whole bunch of those at New Directions.
They also have a whole bunch of floral waters, so you could have a good time making a custom blend to suit yourself. Just plain old rosewater is a delight–and good for your skin.
New Directions also has a huge line of essential oils. It could be fun to blend them. They are a great company–top of the line.

“Over 783 million voters headed to the polls in yesterday’s election where 570 million of them re-elected Joe Biden in a crowded field that included RFK Jr., Cornell “I love me some Trans” West, Donald Trump, and some Libertarian candidate mumbling about the Austrian School, legal weed, and anarchy. In other news, controversial right-wing MAGA propaganda filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza has announced a sequel film tentatively titled “20,000 Mules and a Whole Bunch of Jackasses”
Brilliant.
lol, love it
I was reading the inflation report.
Up 3.7% annual rate last month with gasoline a pacing item.
This inflation report is a total crock of crap.
When you read that inflation is going up by day 6% a year, that is a permanent increase, the cost of living just went up.
It never, ever goes down, it never recovers from inflationary hits, the value of the dollar just decreases permanently.
The Feds target is to keep inflation at or below 2% a year, a good goal.
Think now, who gets hurt by inflation anyway.
Not the wealthy, they just make more on their investments.
It is folks with fixed incomes, and especially paycheck to paycheck folks that lose their standard of living.
Biden lowers gas prices by depleting the Strategic reserve. What a dunce. As we are seeing right now, it is temporary as the price is now trying to reset itself to economic reality. BTW, Phoenix high end regular gas just hit $5.
What is worse however is deflation, the lowering of prices, a disincentive to the economy, why produce to make less. Deflation was a hallmark of the Great Depression.
The key to control is the manipulation of interest rates to control the insanity of the Deep State mob trying to buy votes by just running the presses. Biden is one of the worst.
We are about to enter the second phase of an inflation snowball. It is the danger phase that could blow up the whole damn thing.
People will only put up with rising cost to a point. Then the unions get up in arms. We are seeing the start of this phase now, with unions asking for 40+% raises in sectors such as the airlines. Increasing labor costs will be passed along, increasing inflationary pressure further. Then more requests for more wages, and on and on.
It is a repeat of the 70s, and it took a big recession in 1980 for Paul Volker to stop the snowball. I remember 12% unemployment rates.
Inflation is a con game by the politicians.
JAZ:
ANY inflation is very bad, even 2%. Just run the 2% figure as a mathematical series over 20 years or so: year 1 is 1.02, year 2 is 1.02 x 1.02 = 1.0404, year 3 is 1.0404 x 1.02 = 1.061, year 4 is 1.061 x 1.02 = 1.082, which represents an 8.2% reduction in value over just 4 years. Do that for 20 years (there’s a simple formula to figure this out), and you will see that 2% annual figure is not ok. The Federal Reserve’s charter in 1913 is to maintain the value of the dollar. Hah! It’s been said the biggest failure of our current civilization is the people’s lack of understanding of the exponential function.
Absolutely agree. The Dems have no concept of money, to them it is a bottomless pit of vote buying. The GOP says otherwise. but Reagan and Trump both showed how little they care too about the value of the buck.
Mankind’s greatest shortcoming is its failure to understand the exponential function. –The late Albert Bartlett, Economist
(i.e., “Mankind is doomed.”) Even the Republicans can’t save us…sorry, JAZ.
the people’s lack of understanding of the exponential function. – bean
=============
Thank you for emphasizing the effect of compounding. Four years at 2% inflation does NOT equal 8%. It equals 8.2%.
But more important and infuriating to me is that we’ve had a series of Fed chiefs (Bernanke, Yellen, Powell) all shooting for 2% inflation as if that was some wonderful goal. What they are saying is “we are aiming to steal 2 cents every year from every dollar you possess.” If you have $100,000 in a 401K they want to steal $2,000 (or more, via compounding) per year.
To me the only honorable goal is precisely 0% inflation.
The other, and perhaps bigger, issue is the actual formula for measuring what is referred to as “headline inflation.” The CPI they use excludes food and energy if I recall correctly. How ridiculous is that?!
Exactly, Q! They keep adjusting the “basket of goods and services” in order to understate true inflation.
They also claim that technological advancements are disinflation!
For example, if you could buy an iPhone 700 for $800 in the base time but can now buy an iPhone 701 for $800 today, then they count that basket item as negative (i.e. that partly offsets an increase in rent!) because “you are getting more bang for your buck.”
I sh!t you not.
Cue a man in a fedora in above-the-waist pleated trousers with a mid-Atlantic accent:
“Myah.. see, what’s the big idea? Are you telling me mister that the average American doesn’t know A=P(1+r/n)^nt?! Myah, myah”
The year I was born, 1957, a gallon of gas was $3.21 in 2022 dollars. Yesterday I filled my truck for $3.37. 66 years later. It’s all relative. At the start of the covid I was paying $1.39. No demand. Vlad invades and the price goes up to $4.00. Supply and demand. FJB is killing the supply now. Price is going up.
” It’s been said the biggest failure of our current civilization is the people’s lack of understanding of the exponential function.”
A close second might be the logarithmic function.
Which is why the CO2/global warming calculations are crap, according to Dr. William Happer, of Princeton.
Never did get log numbers, myself. Calc I chewed me up, but Calc II spit me right out.
Advanced calc was even more difficult.
I’ll take your word on it, Bill. Do you remember any of it?
Calculus is all about having the right teacher, imho. I took Calc 210 in university and struggled to get the credit in 1983. The instructor then was Prof. Ruth Duthie. She was patient and went “the extra mile” with several one-on-one sessions and I finally scored in the 60s.
Then I needed to cover the same material again at a college course in 1987. While admittedly I did have a leg-up from 1983, I then aced Calculus because Joe Blaz was the best Calc teacher ever (imho).
That’s what my PhD friends out here tell me. Color me skeptical. I had a fair amount of trouble with College Algebra, for crying out loud!
Once Calc II started ditching numbers altogether in favor of symbols (which was right away), I ran screaming for the hills.
Fortunately, I’m an Excel wiz, so I get the last laugh. The Calc boys don’t get that at all.
Ha! Me too. I was an Excel whiz on Bay Street (Canada’s Wall Street) [circa 1992-2014].
I was briefly a big Borland guy before Bill Gates built his monopoly. Remember Paradox? Remember Quatro Pro?
It takes a great effort of the imagination in the higher sense, the aspect that is above fantasy, Paracelus’ “cornerstone of fools”.
The world of the senses isn’t very real after all. If you had different senses, you would see and experience it differently.
My Calc I teacher was a very down to earth kind of guy, so I always asked him about the practical applications of what we were doing. One of his examples was carrying a long object, such as a piece of lumber or a piece of furniture, through a twisting hallway with numerous corners. Said he could use Calc to figure out if it would fit or not without scraping the walls.
I thought that was pretty cool, so I asked him if he had in fact done that, as he seemed so practical minded and lived in the same working class neighborhood across from the campus that I did at the time. “Oh no, of course not,” was his rather disappointing reply.
@ Dis:
Re your comment on the pronunciation of Dorchester:
It’s just like it’s spelled. Dor-chester.
But Worcester, MA, a large city about 40 or 50 miles west of Boston is pronounced wister. A city in Ohio, named after Worcester is spelled and pronounced Wooster. Go figure.
Worcester/’Wooster’ is from the original in England. There is also a Bicester, pronounced Bister, Leicester, prounounced Lester, Strathaven (in Scotland) pronounced Straven, Milngavie (also in Scotland, pronounced Mulguy. And on it goes … 🙂
GA, thanks for that!
And don’t forget Ralph, pron. Rafe.
For about a year, as a child, I lived with an aunt in Leicester, Mass., outside Worcester, Mass.
I was a pretty good reader at seven, and I was proud of being able to spell these names. I thought there must be more of them—I wished there were more of them!
So now I know . . .
Indeed, islander. From everyone’s nursery rhymes book:
“Dr Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain
He fell in a puddle right up to his middle
And never went there again.”
I think Ralph can be pronounced either way. Rafe sounds the posh version to me. I think most Ralphs are Ralph but don’t quote me …
Like Ralph Fiennes, the actor.
Ralph Vaughn Williams is “Rafe.”
I thought this might be a generally British thing.
I don’t know about others.
GA, we have a Leicester in Mass. It’s pronounced Lester, too.
LOL! ANOTHER curve to the story. Now the one in MASS is Wister?
I think I was originally thing of the one they pronounce Gloster. Gloucester, is it? So we’ve got the Brits to blame all this on. Might have known. 😉
thing > thinking
“It’s just like it’s spelled. Dor-chester.
”
Not by r-challenged locals!
Bill is that wooster as in hoot or wooster as in wood? In these parts we say it like wood.
Here in Mass. it’s like wood. In Ohio it’s like in hoot.
Further as regards the term “poofter”:
I assume that term applies only to males with homosexual proclivities. If so, is there an equally perfect slang term for lesbians?
Carpet munchers?
That cracked me up, Dis.
I guess it could apply to more than just “lezzies,” of course.

I believe that an open mind is fruitful while those who refuse to listen to reasonable debate will slowly intellectually die as they become out of touch with the next waves of history.

The modern battlefield is not the war that the US has prepared for. Tanks are old school.The survivability of tanks is questionable. Hey I’ve got an idea. Let’s send a bunch of Abrams over to Ukraine to be scrapped and we can get a whole bunch of new toys.

While the MIC pockets all of those fiat US$.
They’ll have to print the money to buy the new toys?
Figuratively, yes. A keystroke here another one there and BOOM! the MIC’s grossly inflated and marked-up invoices are all paid. From that glut of “cash,” all the Masons in all the land have their palms greased. From judges to lobbyists to regulators to Big Pharma to MSM to our elected officials and their staffs.
Sure, some of those digits created out of thin air go to grease palms in Ukraine but most of that fiat US$ does not move very far from the Beltway and everyone is lubed up real good.
Ukrainians mainly get Zelenskyy’s corrupt, Nazi government; machines to kill as many Russian soldiers as is possible and credible estimates of 400,000+ Ukrainian soldiers dead. Oh! And the infrastructure! Yeesh!

KATIE HOPKINS HAS SOME STERN WORDS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP SABOTAGING LONDON’S ULEZ CAMERAS

“Suck on a bug’s ass!”
Brilliant.
Excellent!
Visually it seems to be maybe 50 or 60% of the cameras? The red points desperately need their boosters plus that new vaccine to make it through the blackout pandemic!
Sounds like EV charging stations on the West Coast; as fast as they can be built they are vandalized, smashed up, and stripped for copper and other elements to be sold for scrap at the underground junkyard.
That sounds more of a basic criminality thing, brh, if they are stealing components. The London ‘vandalism’ is putting the cameras out of action as a protest against ULEZ – some of them are being sprayed with foam filler. I don’t think anyone is stealing components.
I expect the authorities will already have a plan for dealing with the protestors.
I have been following this, mainly on the Daily Sceptic.
Here are some of their recent reports:

John,
I’m pretty much in agreement with your last two points (socialists, gimmes) although I’m not ready to completely give up on the ‘patriotic American’. If we can win the next election, I think that he still has a chance. It will be an uphill battle and maybe a fruitless one, since it will be difficult to implement the drastic measures needed to give us back a strong and vital nation, like the immediate expulsion of say ten to fifteen million illegals, e.g.
Now here is where I could support someone similar to Putin, having the power and strength to defend our borders and our nation through bloody purges of illegals if necessary. Say that a ‘Biden’ or a ‘Mayorkas’ could stop such a policy, should they be killed? Many would hope so. So now we are in the realm of situational ethics and morality, and one is tempted to draw a parallel to Putin by saying that he wants to do the same thing, protect his nation, but the situations are quite different.
Putin controls an ‘underpopulated’ country filled with vast resources and has a terrifying nuclear deterrent. His nation is Not being overrun like ours is and is under no immediate or even near-term threat. He has killed many political opponents, journalists and other dissenters to maintain his grip on power. He kills to preserve his own power, not to ‘save’ Russia.
No, NATO is not going to attack Russia, at least not for a few decades or whenever one’s survival requires its resources. Putin’s oil is not imperiled yet, maybe some decades from now.
My guy, the much more noble, sees an evil danger and wants it eradicated, not for himself but for the benefit of all. He thinks that the US is its law-abiding people, unlike Putin who thinks that he himself is Russia.
‘The future of this planet is increasing violence in pursuit of diminishing resources, with the American empire, what is left of it in the middle of the melee.’ JAZ
I couldn’t agree more. At or before the Die-Centennial the violence will probably include nuclear war. Extremes generate other extremes.
By 2076 the world will be in chaos, filled with techno-rubble and the rusting hulks of Dinocars and Triceratrucks, with pollution and radiation and with the skeletons of unburied corpses.
No need to worry any more about the Deep State, WEF, etc. You’re in a new nightmare.
Unfortunately the reality is that there are far more Americans clearly who would rather fight for the borders of Ukraine than the borders of their former country. So that is why America doesn’t exist anymore.
Yes, as someone said of the latest sequel to the movie Top Gun: The problem is that nation doesn’t exist anymore.
Yeah I seem to recall something like that. It is very sad. The only opportunity it appears for us now would be some form of a new America. Perhaps one day we will have a nation state called New America occupying some as yet undetermined space in North America?
That’s a lot of Americas in there lol sorry. But I am still patriotic in the ideals of the original 1776 America.
SSL: “Unfortunately the reality is that there are far more Americans clearly who would rather fight for the borders of Ukraine than the borders of their former country. ‘
I disagree. No Americans want to fight for Ukraine’s borders, except for a few mercenaries and “adventurers”( many of whom come home with their tails between their legs when they understand combat with a competent adversary).
American citizens have not been consulted on this madness.
Many of them have noted the cognitive dissonance between
(1) Sending billions to Ukraine while our own infrastructure rots
(2) Sending billions to Ukraine when our own citizens are lacking basic services, food, and housing
(3) Sending billions to Ukraine when our own citizens are suffering in multiple ways and still hundreds of thousands of illegals are invited in to get basic services and assistance ahead of US citizens.
What about all of the Ukraine flag people though? They don’t care or at least don’t act like they care that 10 million people or more have invaded the US since Biden came in and opened our border.
“He (Putin) has killed many political opponents, journalists and other dissenters to maintain his grip on power. He kills to preserve his own power, not to ‘save’ Russia.”
BULLCRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well put!
Our problem in the USA is the journalists HEFRE who have been offed or suppressed or canceled.
Bitching about other people and countries is so much more fun than looking in the mirror.
Cause for concern:
Earth is exceeding its “safe operating space for humanity” in six of nine key measurements of its health, and two of the remaining three are headed in the wrong direction, a new study said.
Earth’s climate, biodiversity, land, freshwater, nutrient pollution and “novel” chemicals (human-made compounds like microplastics and nuclear waste) are all out of whack, a group of international scientists said in Wednesday’s journal Science Advances. Only the acidity of the oceans, the health of the air and the ozone layer are within the boundaries considered safe, and both ocean and air pollution are heading in the wrong direction, the study said.
“We are in very bad shape,” said study co-author Johan Rockstrom, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “We show in this analysis that the planet is losing resilience and the patient is sick.”
In 2009, Rockstrom and other researchers created nine different broad boundary areas and used scientific measurements to judge Earth’s health as a whole. Wednesday’s paper was an update from 2015 and it added a sixth factor to the unsafe category. Water went from barely safe to the out-of-bounds category because of worsening river run-off and better measurements and understanding of the problem, Rockstrom said.
Perhaps the Earth’s immune response will settle the matter at some point? If the Earth was a person humans would be like microbes on their skin. If people go too far there could be a mass dieoff and complete breakdown of the food chain. The Earth and life itself will recover. It may take millions of years. And of course doubtful that anything like human life would exist on its surface ever again.
That would be a standard ecology 101 overshoot and crash scenario, and how life has always been for most other organisms. What follows is recovery and a population bloom as the resource base recovers. In theory, the cycles get less extreme over time, leading to a climax ecosystem. And then an alien species comes along (fossil fuels in our case) and upsets the balance again.
” And of course doubtful that anything like human life would exist on its surface ever again.”
Humans are very capable of adapting to different living conditions and environments, after all, we’ve managed to go from an obscure primate living in African savanas to a species that has spread itself world wide into every place possible – a few of us even left the planet to go check out the moon for a brief period in history. I remember reading somewhere that scientists using DNA studies have determined that at one point our population was down to some 40,000 people. Yet we were able to eventually expand to some 7 billion people. We’re way into overshoot right now and one way or the other our population will reduce itself to a sustainable level. Reaching that point will probably require and extraordinary amount of pain and suffering, but we’ll get there. We have no other choices.

Hornos Island
“Hornos Island (Spanish: Isla Hornos) is a Chilean island at the southern tip of South America. The island is mostly known for being the location of Cape Horn. It is generally considered South America’s southernmost island, but the Diego Ramírez Islands are farther south. The island is one of the Hermite Islands, part of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago…
The world’s southernmost tree, a Nothofagus betuloides, is found on Hornos Island…
In 2019, the island had a population of five, consisting of the lighthouse keeper, his wife, and their three children…
The island is also the southernmost extension of pre-industrial humanity. The world’s southernmost archaeological site, consisting of harpoon points, butchered bones, and a hearth or cooking camp, was found in 2019.” ~ Wikipedia

If I can recall correctly Magellan, Drake & Cavandish landed on Cape Horn in the 16th century in their respective voyages around the World. The Spanish, then the British, attempted to establish a colony on Cape Horn; both disappeared, two more ‘Lost Colonies’ in the New World.
Drake was a badass.
As well as the rest of the English Navy as they kicked the Spanish Armada’s ass.
Yeah he was a badass.
It’s not widely known that Drake pulled into San Francisco Bay in the 1570s, parlayed with the local Indians, and left behind a few relics (which were found on a beach in 1915)
All those Elibabethan Sea Dogs were hard cases: Hawkins, Cabot, Cavendish, not only circumnavigating the globe, but sailing to Greenland & Labrador looking for a northwest passage, and to N Russia, eventually reaching Moscow & forming the Muscovy Trading Company, which I believe exists to this day.
Drake died fighting pirates in the Caribbean in the 1590s. A few years ago orcs in London were tearing down monuments to British heroes; Drakes might have been one of them.
“London is no longer a city for white men.”-Ali Khan, Mayor of London.
Not one of our British posters, past or present, gives a rat’s ass about the fall of London or the coming replacement of White people in Britain – facilitated by 2nd class status and blending with the invaders to avoid that.
Sean Coleman of Ireland has noticed the same fate is slated for Ireland and does care.
The consensus is that he docked near what is now Pt. Reyes Nat. Seashore just north of San Francisco Bay. They were there for the better part of the Summer which Drake described as cold and very foggy and windy. As Mark Twain said about the local climate, “The coldest Winter I ever spent was a Summer in San Francisco”. If he had found San Francisco Bay he could have sailed to the Oakland side which is a lot warmer.
I wonder where those relics are now? I couldn’t find anything online.
I thought the original mill/grinding saying was German, but apparently not.
Per an online search,
” The earliest known use of this expression is by 3rd century Greek philosopher Sextus Empiricus, who wrote ‘The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind small. ‘ Sextus Empiricus lived in the early 3rd century AD, possibly late 2nd century.”

If the Deep State were eliminated tomorrow, completely, and the actual will of the people ruled the land and world, what would the world look like in 3, 400 years?
If your answers to this question are ignorant and lack realism, I’m not much interested in any of your opinions..
Not good, I’m afraid, but I don’t think it would take 3-4 hundred years to turn out that way.
Not sure exactly but my guess would be that it would be less corporatized and monetized. Perhaps not all life would have been tagged and genetically modified or totally exterminated. I still the think the population would be a lot less but maybe not as much as if the Deep State was left alone since it is a genocide machine.
The Peter nightmare
continues, make that worsens:Last week the caregiver, Evelyn, showed her replacement care giver the ropes before flying off to Ghana for a well deserved 3-4 week vacation in her country of origin. The replacement, Vickie, is also a black woman with a similar accent.
On Monday Vickie encountered a shit splattered 3rd floor bathroom but did not complain. Seemed to take it as her lot in life to have to clean up other people’s shit. She returned today and found an even worse shit-splattered bathroom.
This time Peter had traipsed through his own shit barefoot and across a carpeted floor. Since this actually happened a couple of days ago the shit had dried and hardened. Peter’s response to this was “Sorry.”
Bo and I see a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel since it appears we MAY get Peter into a 4-star nursing home about one month from now. Bo can hardly wait to get her brother out of our house so our lives can resume to something approaching normal.
One word. Depends.
One word. Depends. – hmuller

Yes, of course, we have Peter wearing Depends but picture this scenario. Peter is wearing Depends and a pair of shorts. He’s sitting in his comfy recliner watching TV (or more likely, dozed off. He awakens with a strong urge to dump out. He stumbles his way to the B-room, pulls down his shorts and diaper, and while in mid-half-squat six inches from the toilet seat lets go with a shit explosion.
I have never actually observed this happening, thank God, but its my best guess.
off.)
And now I have that picture running around in my head. It sucks to get old. Believe me, I’m 68.
It hardens – as does the human heart. See Clive Barker’s short story, “The Hell Bound Heart”.
You’re going to shell or dump out over a hundred “bucks” (why not does?) for a shampooer vacuum cleaner.
What a charming little story Q.
Safe to say, Peter has made Q.’s “shit list.”
Gives new meaning to the term “shitfaced”.
Why didn’t you put down a plastic drop cloth in the hallway, the kind painters use?
How come no one noticed this situation for two days?
The quicker Pete leaves your home, the better.
Yes, if Peter is having these accidents then plastic sheets need to cover everything where he is at. And I agree it is unacceptable that he is left in his own excrement for two days Q. Y’all need to get him into a home where he can be cared for because this is getting scary.
Three………
What are you up to, Q.?
Earth is about 4 billion years old, but life only started on it a couple of billion years ago, and multi-cellular life only about 1 1/2 billion years ago.
Plants and animals evolved less than a billion years ago.
We tend to be quite cavalier about the ability of Earth to start all over, but I guess it doesn’t matter, once we completely wreck the place, if anything else manages to survive or not.
At least, it won’t matter to us.
Personally, I think that Earth is a wonderous place now, or actually was 75 years ago, before humans started using chemical weapons on war on plants and animals, and fossil fuels to vacuum the oceans, bulldoze the jungles and blow up the mountains.
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event
Remember the one word, “plastics”? Well, that was just a derivation of the true driver, fossil fuels.
And when we examine the war on nature (and ironically, us) it started when the British discovered around 250 years ago that they were literally living on a floating coal island.
Soon, the Germans and French found their respective reserves, and along with deposits of iron ore, the industrial revolution race was on.
But of course the king capper was petroleum that gushed out of shallow surface wells in PA, which really put the whole affair in hyper drive.
I’ve often said that we who are alive today are essentially a direct result of this mineral resource exploitation.
The globe didn’t/doesnt have the capacity of carrying more than 1b without accessing 100s of millions of years of stored solar energy.
So when observe current events, the destruction of nature and the release of 8b ravenous mouths upon the world, it becomes quite easy to simply conclude that it’s merely competition over scarce resources.
Easy come, easy go.
Might’ve been easy come, but it certainly won’t be easy go. It’s gonna be one for the history books, or more likely, the mythic oral tales.
” 100s of millions of years of stored solar energy”
When exactly was this period during which solar energy was stored?
How did plants become oil?
If we actually had a way to effectively harness the energy of the Sun we would have basically an endless source of energy. Not that humans would use it responsibly, etc. but it is possible. I don’t think oil is linked to plants because Saturn’s moon Titan is like a big ball of hydrocarbons and it seems like there aren’t plant and animals there. Or at least any that we can understand or have any experience with.
Can you imagine swimming in a lake of Titan’s hydrocarbons? There has got to be a way we can get this energy back to Earth for our use before the Like of John Kerry outlaws all personal vehicles, etc.
Titan’s hydrocarbons cycle into the atmosphere, fall as rain and collect in lakes creating massive lakes and dunes.
Titan is a planet-sized hydrocarbon factory. Instead of water, vast quantities of organic chemicals rain down on the moon’s surface, pooling in huge reservoirs of liquid methane and ethane. Solid carbon-based molecules are also present in the dune region around the equator, dwarfing Earth’s total coal supplies. Carl Sagan coined the term “tholins” to describe prebiotic chemicals, and the dunes of Titan are expected to be teeming with them. Tholins are essential for the beginning of carbon-based organisms, so these new observations by Cassini will stir massive amounts of excitement for planetary physicists and biologists alike.
Some 20% of the moons surface has been catalogued and so far several hundred hydrocarbon seas and lakes have been discovered. These lakes, individually, have enough methane/ethane energy to fuel the whole of the US for 300 years.
Well I suppose it would be interesting with the right swimming equipment. Keep in mind that methane becomes a liquid in the temp range of to -258F to -296F. So it would be a little chilly lol. Plus I’m worried we would contaminate Titan with our microbes. But if we could set those things aside it would be terribly fun to see Titan and to frolic on its surface. I wouldn’t want us to exploit the resources though. I would prefer the entire moon be a nature preserve but I’m a tree hugger so.

“I’m more reptilian, cold-blooded”

Yeah, she’s a reptile all right, straight out of the Lizard People class.
she is high on adrenochrome
That’s something I hadn’t thought of. People have long assumed Pelosi’s odd behavior and speech stem from booze.
The Earth is essentially a closed system, so I wonder if bringing in methane from other planets to use for power on Earth would somehow drastically mess up that closed system?
One thing is for sure, there definitely is not a shortage of energy or anything else in the universe. There is more than plenty to go around for everyone, for thousands and thousands of years. We just have to figure out how to transport and harness these vast supplies. That is where the creativity and know-how is currently lacking in our society. People need to think outside the box, instead of building more windfarms and cluttering farm fields with solar panels.
Supposedly you can generate infinite energy from water but the energy behemoths of the world have kept the tech secret because it is simple such that anyone could use it if they knew. This wouldn’t allow the elite to keep the power and wealth of the fossil fuels system so they have not allowed the tech to exist or be known about.
Salt water or just regular tap water? We should figure this out and go into business together, breaking the protective barrier of the world elites. Muah hahahaha……
Lol, oh wow that is a good question. I’m not sure. I think it’s tap water but not sure if it could be salt water too?

Do you like being on public lands for days on end, miles and miles from the nearest person, and going without bathing for a week at a time? (Regular oral hygiene is still a must though.) Do you like gazing into the pitch-black night sky, wondering what else all lies beyond our tiny celestial globe? Do you like staying up into the early morning hours talking philosophy?

REESE REPORT – CCP SATELLITES OVER MAUI AT TIME OF FIRES
bitchuteDOTcom/video/ypKDWQq3gPcM/
stelmo, these scientific findings are tossing around wattages that are magnitudes lower than we were discussing earlier.
What say you?
In the hypothetical scenario that this inconclusive new information might suggest, would you be thinking that China might have done this in connivance with the US DoD, given the suspicious behaviour of the Maui authorities? Or another option?
Not designed to give one easier sleep anyway …
I don’t know, GA. Lahaina is a very bizarre case. Of that, there is no doubt.
Are Oprah and Bezos and Zuck and Gates and Lady Gaga all in bed with the CCP? That seems unlikely.
Was the Maui fire a tit-for-tat for the recent American-HAARP flooding of China? I’ve heard that chatter.
But how does CCP get John Pelletier installed as Maui Police Chief to barricade escape for incineration (mass murder) of the rightful land-owners?
And then how does CCP get President “Biden” to appoint Bob Fenton to head the FEMA response and be in position before 8/8?
And how does CCP build an 8′ 5+ mile blackout/blind fence on American soil to hide the crime scene from the world?
Clearly the US is involved in both preparation and in cover-up. Is the US in cahoots with CCP in mass murdering Americans on American soil? That is a scary thought but it is the result of Occam’s razor.
37 days later, the Lahaina fire has way more questions than it does answers.
Like: Where are the 2,000+ missing children?
The tit-for-tat option doesn’t have a lot going for it, I’d have thought. Not sure China would helpfully destroy an area earmarked for smart-city status if it were engaging in revenge (not that I was aware that HAARP was supposed to have caused a flood in China – ugh – or maybe I heard it and have forgotten).
I’m basically keeping an open mind, while at the same time having reached the stage where absolutely nothing would strike me as impossible any more.
Also, why would China be doing this in collaboration with the US when the US has its own star wars technology?
Re the children, have all of them lost their parents too? Because, otherwise, you’d think there would be a very vocal and quite sizeable group of desperate parents around who would be hard to totally silence.
Actually, on further reflection (and this is speculative with a capital S), the only way a tit-for-tat scenario would make sense would be if both attacks were preplanned and agreed between both governments, for plausible deniability, i.e. so that neither population would conclude that their own government was attacking them.
It’s worth recalling that the fake Wuhan footage of bodies in the street almost 3 years ago suggests some kind of collusion (unless islander’s (?) theory of it all being created in Langley is on the money!).
At the same time, of course, the US seems to be pushing for a war with China … I don’t know what to make of any of it.
You are correct, GA: the more bits that we get to know about Lahaina, the still more questions generated by the open-minded. The fact that the satellites that had the capability and were in position were CCP definitely thickens the plot.
It does seem more and more that international diplomacy is like pro wrestling. “Good guys” battle “bad guys” on TV in front of packed stadia but, when the lights go down, they all drink beer and laugh together after the show. That is, it is one giant, public-pleasing ruse.
If their elites and our elites are in cahoots in global depopulation (like Wuhan, for example), then we are their collateral damage in a war that 99.9% of people wouldn’t believe if they ever even heard of it.

The missing children of Lahaina situation is very bizarre. It’s been 5+ weeks and Google reports now (9/14):
Number of people missing following devastating Maui wildfires has dropped to 66 The new tally of 66 people still missing represents a significant drop from a week earlier, when authorities said 385 remained unaccounted for. The confirmed death toll remains at 115.
Many locals are being vocal but they remain voices in the wilderness while, like always, MSM controls the narrative.
Many Lahaina school buses went missing that day and there is video of those buses being allowed to exit Lahaina while the cars were not. Maui is a known child-trafficking source/hub. It is speculated that the missing children were trafficked while their parents were barricaded and incinerated.
“(unless islander’s (?) theory of it all being created in Langley is on the money!).”
Not my theory.
I don’t know what to make of the China “sudden collapse on the sidewalk” videos, but I think they were made in China.
Brains are dripping out my ears.
lol
Push them back in, Gus! You’ll need them later.

I missed the end of last thread, One Solo. Did you ever explain why you keep putting quote marks around the word missing when describing the (estimated) 1,200-3,000 missing children in Lahaina?
“Brains are dripping out my ears.”
That’s taking keeping an open mind to a whole new level. 🙂
Some here at CFN took offence a couple of days ago when beantownbill. voiced his displeasure at the repetitiveness of our discussions but he might’ve had a point.

naturalnews.com/2023-09-13-nm-gun-owners-protest-govenors-gun-carry-ban.html
has not even been mentioned here at CFN! Are we not here to defend the US Constitution or what? CFN should be lighting up with discussion of this searing hot Second Amendment issue, imho.
OG – we’re not here to defend the US Constitution, we’re here to discuss defending the US Constitution – they are two related, but entirely different things – but I understand your point.
Personally, I’m looking very forward to defending the US Constitution. It is in the offing, and trust me my friend, it’ll be soon. We’ll be forced to defend it, and we will.
On Governor, Michelle “Karen” Grisham, don’t worry about her – simple, organized non-compliance makes any law or edict a non-issue. Simple as that. Yes, Governor, right away, whatever you say – not.
What’s happening up there with Pastor Artur Pawlowski? He’s relentless – a modern day hero. An absolute fearless man among men. I’d like to see a lot more discussion about him, and what he stands for, or better said, what he won’t stand for.

Well OG, since Bill is so displeased with a lack of discourse he finds interesting and engaging I personally am a little surprised that he doesn’t post more. It seems that you can just as easily bring vibrant discussions to the board without reminding us that Bill’s opinions loom large over us and guide that which we do. I was actually going to mention the issue of the New Mexico governors unconstitutional overreach the other day but decided against it because the whole action was essentially shutdown by non-compliance and the courts. But you have a good point. The conversation veers in different directions and doesn’t always focus around the defense and promotion of the US Constitution. I am certain we can walk and chew gum at the same time too. And also for your consideration. We have been living in a post Constitutional situation for a long time now anyways. So perhaps our more interesting conversations can address adapting to that reality and so forth.

Daca ruled illegal by a federal judge.
Oh, you mean something Obama wanted and pushed for is not legal?
No really?
US judge rules against Biden DACA regulation for ‘Dreamer’ immigrants.
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Wednesday ruled against a program offering deportation relief and work permits to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, known as “Dreamers,” despite an attempt by President Joe Biden’s administration to bolster the program’s standing with a new regulation.
The decision by Texas-based U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen deals a fresh setback to the program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and its 579,000 enrollees and other immigrants who might have hoped to be approved.
Hanen, a Republican-appointed judge, found that a regulation issued last year by Biden’s administration did not remedy legal deficiencies that led him to find DACA unlawful in 2021 and block any expansion of the program, which has been in place for more than a decade.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security can continue to renew the status of those enrolled in DACA prior to Hanen’s 2021 ruling, he said. Many DACA recipients speak English and have jobs, homes and families in the United States.
