You Can Always Dream

Last night I had a dream… Everyone that I knew… And everyone that you know was in my dream… I saw a vampire… I saw a ghost… Everybody scared me but you scared me the most… In the dream I had last night… — Randy Newman

Last night I had a dream. In the dream I woke up to the banner headline: BIDEN ARRESTED. It was only a dream, but was most satisfying, as it made vivid and emphatic what must happen to correct the dreadful tendings of the criminally psychopathic enterprise that our government has become.

The gang behind the shabby and absurd pretend-president — a figure as comically macabre as the plastic effigies of the undead who crowd American front yards this time of year — is not content with running the country into a ditch. Lately these rogues and degenerates are making noises about blowing up the world.

The autumn days dwindle down to signal events that will overturn this wicked enterprise. The yellow-and-blue flag of Ukraine can’t compete on the lawn with tableaux vivants of werewolves, skeletons hung with rotting flesh, radioactive burn victims, hooded demons from hell escaping their graves, and tortured souls shrieking from the various zones between this world and perdition. America is expressing itself with stunning verisimilitude to the onrush of reality: maybe we’ve had enough of romancing death.

That’s the developing lesson of our fiasco in Ukraine. The past three weeks, the US and its vacillating NATO cohorts issued a set of challenging insults aimed at Russia, the designated “villain” in the concocted Ukraine melodrama produced-and-directed by the Party of Chaos as a diversion from our own acute problems at home.

First, the sabotage of Nord Streams One and Two. Maybe a US op, maybe UK, maybe Poland in the mix somewhere. Obviously not Russia, despite all the clumsy propaganda on CNN. What was the idea there, exactly? To deprive Russia of a natgas export market? Guess what? The destruction of the Nord Streams leaves plenty of natgas for the other 70-percent of the world that’s not Europe. And plenty of natgas for Russia itself to develop industries in an import-replacement program to offset the idiotic economic sanctions recklessly imposed on it by “Joe Biden” & Company.

Not such a good outcome for Germany and the EU, though. They will, first, freeze through the winter with idle furnaces and, second, starve in 2023-24 from a lack of fertilizer (made from natgas in the Haber-Bosch process). Oh, and no more industry for you, Euroland. It’s back to the jolly rigors of the Twelfth Century, planting barley and peasecods with pointed sticks while wolves roam the streets of your depopulated cities.

Next, days ago, the attempted destruction of the bridge over the Kerch Strait in the Black Sea, connecting the Crimean Peninsula to mainland Russia. Nice try. Didn’t work. Both the railroad lanes and the motor lanes are operational again. Who did it? We’ll know soon enough.

Note also: the ongoing shelling and bombing of Ukraine’s giant nuclear power generation plant at Zaporizhzhia — admitted by US officials to be a Ukraine operation in a September 13 New York Times report. Yes, that was the bright idea of America’s advisors to NATO and Ukraine: lob explosives into the biggest nuke plant in Europe. See what happens….

Note also that the main human object of all this US, NATO, and Ukraine mischief is the leader of Russia. That’d be Vladimir Putin. One must admire Mr. Putin’s prudence and fortitude in the face of such provocative effrontery. So far anyway. Now, it appears that he has had enough of these shenanigans. For seven months, the strategy behind Russia’s Special Military Operation has puzzled the West. Why so tentative? Why not just use Russia’s manifest superiority, air power especially, to go in and bust the whole joint up? Do what the US has done in places like Libya and Syria?

Forgive me for repeating what I’ve written more than once before: Russia will not benefit from having a broken, failed state on its doorstep. Such a situation would clearly just invite more international hugger-mugger. Rather, Russia will benefit hugely from having a neutral, functioning Ukraine next door, a state with ample agricultural resources that could plausibly feed its people and live in peace, perhaps even enjoy special trade privileges with its bigger neighbor to the east… a Ukraine that would be a geographical buffer between Russia and what is apt to be a very disorderly and distressed Western Europe on the other side.

The Ukrainian leader, Mr. Zelenskyy, capped off the weeks of sabotage by appealing to the US and NATO to conduct “preemptive nuclear strikes” against Russia proper. That’ll work in Ukraine’s favor, I’m sure. He promised to call German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and make the pitch for NATO jumping into the action on the ground. (And with whose army would that be?) Such cheek from this desperado! Going mad-dog is probably not a sign of confidence.

As of Monday, October 10, Russia began delivering some disciplinary actions against Mr. Zelenskyy’s insolent regime. Russia sent missiles into at least 10 Ukrainian cities, targeting electric power generation, water, central heating, and other “key services” in Kiev and elsewhere. Message: if you think we’re fucking around, consider this an attitude adjustment opportunity.

The action is an overture to a strategic shift. Russia aims to speed up the game clock, consolidate its ownership of the Donbas provinces, destroy Ukraine’s remaining military capability, bust up enough stuff to perhaps prompt the Ukrainian people to ask whether continuing to follow Mr. Zelenskyy’s gang is a good idea, and leave no alternative to talks that will leave Ukraine neutralized. Mr. Putin is calling “Joe Biden’s” bluff. All of this could have been avoided, of course, if the maniacs of America’s deep state had simply abided by the promise made thirty years ago to not expand NATO. What part of that deal didn’t we understand? Apparently, all of it. On purpose. Because we have acted with conscious and arrogant dishonor.

Of course, our “president” could commence that nuclear war he affects to be so avid for. It would be a fitting career-capper for the Ol’ Dawg. The show-runner behind all this needless mayhem, former President Barack Obama, reminded us a while back: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” Roger that, BHO! Which gets back to that dream I had of the headline: BIDEN ARRESTED. It was good, but not enough. How about : BIDEN, OBAMA, AND 639 FEDERAL OFFICIALS IN NINE AGENCIES ARRESTED. What a strange moment in our long and steadfast history as an orderly Republic that would be. And yet, what a perfect ending to these years of perfidy and travail.

        WHY IS PRESIDENT ZELENSKY SO DETERMINED TO PROVOKE NUCLEAR WORLD WAR III?

        He is a cockroach

        His scientists at the Mengele Institute in Kirov assure him that cockroaches are immune to radiation poisoning.

        He believes that by feasting on the human corpses littering the landscape after the Grand Extermination he will grow in stature to that of a normal human being.

        By cloning himself and starting a new hive he can re-populate the planet with a species free of the curse of sexuality.

      Last night i had a dream too. I dreamed Justin Trudeau and the whole nefarious gang of left-wing Marxists who keep him in power were doing hard time in a North Korean gulag. Could you see all those entitled little pricks with their neatly manicured nails and capped teeth breaking rocks in the hot sun? I don’t have anything but pity for old sleepy Joe. He’s clearly a dupe with advanced dementia who belongs in a nursing home. But i wouldn’t lose any sleep if the gang that’s propping him up ended up in that same North Korean gulag.

    • Walter B October 10, 2022 at 12:12 pm #

      Perhaps the plan is to spark up another major war in Europe between Russia and everybody else with the hope that they will beat the crap out of each other to the point where once again, just as we did in 1941, the US joins in after the dirty work was pretty much done and mops up once again.

      I am by no way demeaning the sacrifice and fortitude that the GI’s put out and suffered through in wiping out the Nazis, but if you look at the military casualty figures:

      Russia – 9,750,000
      Germany – 5,533,000
      Poland – 5,700,000
      USA – 416,800

      it makes a case that Americans were Man-God soldiers, OR that somebody else did the bulk of the work and we sort of just stepped in to clean up.

      In any case one must remember that it is the fate of generals that they are always fighting the last war, War that is, not policing actions.

      • TPTB-USA October 10, 2022 at 12:25 pm #

        Walter,

        Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), wrote that “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate [in the Great Reset], and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”

        As Schwab wrote, “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate …”, otherwise the agenda is futile.

        The hope is that NATO can take on anyone that opposes the WEF agenda.

        Watch for a move to fold the US armed forces into NATO.

        • Night Owl October 10, 2022 at 3:26 pm #

          Nah, bro. This is all just wild conspiracy theory.

          Schwab wrote his book on Covid 19 and the Great Reset to get the conspiracy theorists off track!

          A member of the CFN Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Sundae Club will be happy to explain further.

      • justanotherguy October 10, 2022 at 2:01 pm #

        w.b. if it came to a defense of our side of the island, like battle of cincinatti and the like, that our body count would likely exceed 10mm?

        patton said for the brief period he had near the end of ww2 – we didn’t finish the job… in 1945, that was a luxury we won’t likely have this next time, and it will cost j6p as much as it cost ivan then.

        • Walter B October 10, 2022 at 3:23 pm #

          That is just the militery casualties. The civilian casualties were:

          Russia – 13,204,000
          Germany – 2,035,000
          USA – 1,700

          Yes, American civilians were spared because the fighting was abroad, but American military deaths were relatively small because Roosevelt delayed opening up the European front for two years, despite Stalin’s demands for action. Additionally, the cream of the Nazi armed forces were battered for years by the Russians while the US actions were limited to North Africa and Italy.

          • justanotherguy October 11, 2022 at 11:54 pm #

            amazing that roosevelt did delay – his admin had so many soviets spying that you’d think they came en mass to avoid the german / russian front.

            if the dysfunction of the 60s was attributable to the shell shock of ww2 on our veterans, imagine just how profoundly changed were the nations that lost millions…

            there were plenty of us citizens in the prewar period that wanted nothing to do with europe’s suicide – it could have been avoided except for the events that made it inevitable.

            monsters always have their hands near the levers affecting the mindset of patriotic citizens. what if they decided to hold a war and no one came?

            but that’s a fantasy, and here we go again…

    A tantalizing scenario.
    But exactly who is going to do the arresting and round up?
    If there is such a sane and truly righteous force left in America, they are keeping a very low profile.

      first time post here I think–
      the other day Seb Gorka mused about the US Marshals doing the round up of FBI and related bad guys. probably another dream but all we have left I guess.
      I am somewhat optimistic (today anyway). assuming we can actually overcome the rigged elections systems, an awful lot of people are degusted with fjb and company–esp hispanics and blacks and many mod dem’s. if so, the next two years will blow thru my popcorn supply.

      • Ron Anselmo October 10, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

        Jim, welcome. Voting doesn’t and won’t matter. The solution is no longer political, it is kinetic. A counter-committee, a counter-investigation, reverse & overturn recent legislation, controlled opposition.

        The result is nothing, the beat goes on. We’ll learn when we’re hungry & cold, with nothing left to lose – nothing left to keep us distracted – no more shiny objects – then we’ll fight, but it’ll be too late.

        What we have allowed has become acceptable, and by staying quiet, we always get what we deserve. Wish it wasn’t so.

        • Wizard of the Saddle October 12, 2022 at 11:33 am #

          I have a lot of days when I lean towards embracing this point of view. That inclination is mainly driven by disgust with all of the shenanigans going on.

          But this is simply too easy. If everyone swallows the Black Pill and just gives up, then the imposition of tyranny becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy when we all just throw up our hands and quit participating in public life.

          Your position is that it is time for Americans to go into Revolutionary mode. You may be right about that, but who exactly will lead this revolution? Are you volunteering? If not you, then who?

          And there is the RUB, no? Nobody wants to stick their neck out to be chopped off. If a revolution comes, it will most likely be a spontaneous event precipitated by some egregious overreach by our would-be overlords.

          So keep your powder dry, friend. I think that’s what most of the population is doing. All those AR sales over the past few years are happening for a reason, don’t you think?

      • justanotherguy October 10, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

      • Rowdypiglet October 10, 2022 at 12:50 pm #

        It’s hard to maintain your ennui when you’re cold and hungry. I have hope that the free stuff being handed out to the illegals in Europe and the UK will cease when the actual citizens of those countries have had enough – possibly this winter. Since most of the invaders are used to being broiled rather than frozen, we can hope they’ll head south. After those two things have happened, perhaps Europeans will come to their senses while something of civilization can still be salvaged.

        • SpeedyBB October 11, 2022 at 4:54 am #

          It was amusing to read that a full 80% of those tragic persecuted refugees, fleeing oppression and possible death, have in fact paid visits back to their [purportedly conflict-ridden, dangerous] homelands since settling in [gullible] Europa, likely flaunting the newly-acquired [infidel] wealth the Euro-suckers have bestowed upon them.

          Who would have imagined, when they showed up, with their Calvin Klein fashion, iPods and gold chains? A trail of discarded freebies marked their path to the Promised Land.

    The show-runner behind all this needless mayhem, former President Barack Obama, reminded us a while back: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”

    Add to the above geo-political mix (mess), the fact that the US Corporation missed its Sept 30 bond package payment (to Saudi, Euroland, Japan, et al). They have been given until Oct 15 or be declared in default by the IMF; that’s five (5) days out. As expected, nothing about this is in the US legacy press, but multiple financial writers (e.g. Jim Willie, Polny, Zerohedge, Shiff) and several Asian news agencies are talking about it. This default will be the beginning of the end of the USD$, and will wreck havoc here in the US and Europe. God forbid anyone have a pension in securities denominated in USD. Good possibly for toilet paper and maybe fire tender, but not much else.

        Is the dollar doing relatively bad compared to the Pound or the Yuan?

        Will the dollar just fall in proportion to everyone else?

      If the US missed a bond payment it’s the best-kept secret of all time.

      Now, Evergrande missed their latest bond payment denominated in US dollars. Could be the commenters listed were referring to that.

      How can the US miss a bond payment when, as the holder of the reserve currency, it can simply create whatsoever it chooses? So long as others accept these markers as payment today for real goods and services, or claims on future productivity, the game goes on.

      Of course everyone knows (feels?) it will end badly since debt retirement with today’s dollars is impossible. Receding into the future as it were.

      The theory is they divert attention by making war so that the players can sit down together and start the next game. Unfortunately the weapons of war have evolved beyond the old Clauswitzian definitions of war. We will be very lucky if sanity is somehow restored and the collective West can accept its post-colonial status among the nations of the world.

        You’ve got something wrong here muller. SS checks are always due on a Wednesday, either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Wed of the month. It depends on your birthday.

        e.g. My wife and her brother (the infamous Peter) get their checks on the 2nd Wed of the month. I get mine on the 4th Wed of the month.

          I got to thinking how difficult it is to properly say fifth. You have to twist your mouth into a pretzel.

          I’ll bet that 99 times out of a hundred people say fith.

          I am entirely in favor of officially dropping the second f in the word fifth.

            It will be at least another 24 years before I can expect to reap any kind of SS payments. I hardly doubt that such a system will still exist at that time. Not to mention what the US Dollar might actually be worth 24 years into the future, or if it will still even exist. Woe is me!!!

        • hmuller October 10, 2022 at 3:58 pm #

          Q, I know about the Wednesday rule. My day is the second Wednesday, which in October happens to be the 12th. My latest SS payment was deposited and fully available Friday Oct 07.

          My 95 yr old father falls under a “grandfather clause”. His SS money is due no later than the third of the month, earlier when weekends and holidays interfere.

      • Anthea October 10, 2022 at 11:05 pm #

        @ hmuller:

        My SS check too showed up on September 30th–a direct deposit. As for when it is due, that one is a puzzle. For many years it came on the third Wednesday of the month. At some point during the covid falderoll, it started coming on the first Wednesday of the month–which it has done fairly consistently ever since. To have the October check came on the last day of September was a first.

      Western Europe has a very temperant climate by and large. It gets colder the farther east you go. Poland is coler than Germany. Ukraine colder than Poland. Russia colder than Ukraine. But it is still colder enough to freeze to death in the most western parts of Western Europe, just more slowly.

      The interior parts of Spain get much colder than the rest of Western Europe, except for Scandanavia in the north. Somehow the influence of the gulf stream is blocked to some extent there.

        • Rowdypiglet October 10, 2022 at 12:56 pm #

          I’ve wondered if the Russians just don’t care about the propaganda war and are not even bothering with it. What would they really gain except a waste of resources? Even if they managed to change the perceptions of the average person in the West, the average person is not exactly running anything. If we’re stupid enough to get all worked up into an anticipatory frenzy at the thought of nuclear war, why even bother with us?

            It’s not that western propaganda is superior, it’s that the US/EU control almost all media outlets, so that’s all most of us get.

            The propaganda is actually lousy, so unbelievable that I am convinced they are running an experiment to see how much complete nonsense they can get people to swallow and regurgitate.

            As an exercise in critical thinking, early on, I told my sons, at maybe 4 & 5 years old, to question people who said things that were too nonsensical.

            Coming home from work, I’d say, I was driving today and saw a blue cow. They’d pipe up and tell me there was no such thing. Good.

            We’ve become so dumbed down, today I could say the same, to adults no less, and half of them, well…77MM + 81MM (supposedly) = 158MM, and 81MM/158MM = 51.3%…so actually more than half would believe I saw a blue cow.

    • JohnAZ October 10, 2022 at 10:45 am #

      Your statement that kids do not know their gender is absolutely correct. Same sex modeling does not occur until 7 – 10 years old. Opposite sex modeling not until puberty. Looking at hormones and brains, the two are pretty similar until elementary school.

      Environmental influence affects sex orientation. Having a parent dress and treat a kid as the opposite sex will definitely distort behavior and desires. A good example is boys that have been kept away from guns for their young years will still pick up sticks to “go to war”.

      Do you think that some of this trans BS might be parents trying to choose their kid’s sex? Or trying to become different, the center of attention?

      Now saying all this, yes, genetic mistakes can happen and sex hormonal differences can distort kids feeling like the opposite side. Will that disappear in elementary school or at puberty?

      And dammit, having freaks marketing for LBGTQ in elementary school is horrible. Or in Boy Scouts.

      • Beryl of Oyl October 10, 2022 at 11:08 am #

        Putin knew this and passed laws against pushing “gender” crap at children.

        From what I’m seeing more and more, young people, some still minors, are being persuaded that their existing mental disorders can all be alleviated once they accept that they are “trans”, and untold numbers of these people are waking up to exactly what was done to them, and coming forward.

        These people are permanently maimed, and for a person who already was suffering from a mood disorder, I don’t know if this realization is survivable, long term.

        • Rowdypiglet October 10, 2022 at 11:56 am #

          I suspect most of these children were suffering from the same things that afflict all of us when we go through the process of socialization with other kids, and when we go through adolescence – but without the attention and support of adults, there being few of those now.

          Trans “care” is now a huge, money making industry with many tentacles reaching into everything. It’s like Matt Taibbi’s vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity (as he described Goldman Sachs) but this time it’s wrapped around the faces of children. Telling confused, hormonal adolescents (whose confusion you have helped to create) that all their problems will be solved if they accept they’re in the wrong body, is simply evil – but it’s clever and hard to defeat.

          The part that parents and teachers play seems derived from a desperate need for attention. If you look at the way that so many of these people make themselves hideous, actually disturbing and frightening to look at, you have to conclude that they don’t care if the attention is negative. They will do anything to themselves to get it.

          My guess is that it has something to do with how difficult it has become to distract others from their screens, and how rare it has become to get another person’s undivided attention. We all need that, especially children. It’s now taken for granted that, when you speak to someone, they will usually continue looking at their screen and you are to understand that you are secondary to it.

          I think many of us, especially children who have grown up with this lack of genuine human contact, are suffering from something similar to what happens to infants if they’re never picked up and held. Children aren’t equipped to resist those who make a great fuss over them, reward them and affirm them – things they have done without until they accept the trans fable, after which they receive what has been withheld. They don’t understand what they’re giving up in order to get that outpouring of attention and affirmation. Adults aren’t immune either, and have the same unmet needs.

        Many parents report differences right out of the gate. They might not “know” yet, but they are already being influenced by their hormones.

        • Paula D October 10, 2022 at 12:11 pm #

          Children don’t have sex hormones flowing.
          That comes with puberty.

          There is no such thing as a trans child. There are children with personalities, including likes and dislikes.

          It is the parents who decide that their likes and dislikes are “different”.
          Different than what? Then the stereotypes for their sex?

          Is that any reason to drug and mutilate them?

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 12:16 pm #

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 12:26 pm #

            “Stereotypes for their sex”. In other words, there is no masculine or feminine in reality?

          • JohnAZ October 10, 2022 at 12:42 pm #

            Oh yes they do have estrogen and testosterone flowing in small equal amounts as young kids. When the gonads mature at puberty, they secrete their primary hormone causing the growth of a man or a woman.

            How it happens varies person to person.

            That is why trans decisions should not be encouraged or made before sexual maturity, ie 21 or so.

            BTW, post meno or andropause cause the same equalization of hormones again in old age.

            Mary thinks Men are death and Women are life – yet she still pretends or actually thinks she agrees with Paula against me. I’m the enemy you see. Feminine solidarity is that powerful a negative force that helps to tear society apart.

          • GreenAlba October 11, 2022 at 8:01 am #

            Pink used to be a boy’s colour and blue a girl’s colour (from the Virgin Mary’s supposed clothing habits), so it’s a non-argument.

            The change to pink for girls and blue for boys resulted from nothing more biological than a few intense advertising campaigns.

            As Paula says, pink is just a shade of red, and that’s why parents were (at one time) advised to dress their boys in pink to make them manly, because it was the child version of adult male red.

            You’d think people would be wise to the power of advertising by now. All babies used to wear white, not to mention that young children’s clothes were pretty much identical to avoid wastage. So little boys wore frocks just like little girls.

            It’s not like I didn’t tell you folks all this one time before. I guess nobody listens. 🙂

          • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 12:41 pm #

            Many women love to see the corruption and defeat of the masculine by the feminine so they used to dress little boys up as feminine for as long as they could get away with it.

            This evil has now grown into transforming their little boys into girls.

          • messianicdruid October 11, 2022 at 2:37 pm #

      Most dark is correct @ dplainview.

      People seem to have forgotten why Trump was impeached. He wanted Biden investigated by Ukraine for corruption committed in Ukraine and had the temerity to make a phone call requesting that investigation. The deep state lost it, completely flipped out and managed to get a sitting (dunce) president impeached rather than see an investigation that would have prevented the war we are now plunging headlong into.

      Swept under the rug and under the laptop is evidence of child trafficking and bio-weapons labs run in Ukraine at the behest of the American Pharaoh.

      Better to have a world war than for that evidence to come to light.

      • Paula D October 10, 2022 at 1:53 pm #

        I mostly agree with you, but Trump made the phone call to congratulate Zelensky on winning the election and only asked about the ongoing investigation during that call.

        The impeachment was revealing. It shows the power of the media. They ran a long impeachment screaming about the phone call to the president of Ukraine and the outrage of withholding weapons, without ONCE talking about on whom the weapons were being used.

        And without ever mentioning that it is illegal for the US to provide weapons to a country which is using them to kill their own people.

        Congress is as disgusting as the media.

        • C.O.Jones October 10, 2022 at 3:23 pm #

          @ Paula D, I would add the word “ostensibly” to the reason Trump called but agree with all your points.

          It was Reagan’s CIA director Bill Casey who said “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

          It is the job of the media to pump the septic tanks of congress and spew the contents on the American public.

          To behave in a less than receptive manner is unpatriotic.

        @ Rednek Liberal:

        “Psychosis” implies a belief in things that aren’t true and a denial of things that are true. Week after week, Jim posts the truth Week after week, you show up attempting to counter Jim’s truths with some silly bullshit–and very transparent–lies you saw on TV.

        It’s hard for me to believe that even you believe your bullshit, since it seems like we are well into “nobody’s that stupid” territory.

        But then, over the past few years I have had to re-assess the size and population of “stupid territory.”

        You-all need your own country. Madagascar or some such, where you can be out of the reach of all those sane people who are such a buzz kill–where you can wear tutus and assless chaps, and write each other IOUs on toilet paper for all your needs (till you run out of toilet paper).

        You can all work for the island’s government, exploring the frontiers of hitherto undiscoered pronouns, and conducting research on whether purple-assed baboons really do have purple asses and whether to grant them citizenship. (It would be racist and sexist not to.)

        If other nations will not accept your IOUs…. Well, they will for damn sure feel your wrath, as you call them racists, sexists, and homophobes.

      Biomass is being seriously discussed as a FF alternative. First the waste from limber production, then just wood in general as the waste does not meet the demand.

      Easter Island!

      What percentage of the world’s heating and electricity production can be met by biomass before replacement cannot be met. Not much.

      As pointed out in JHK’s books, ALL resources will decline in the future. One of the first indicators, movement of the supply curve with resulting inflation is occurring right now.

      Anyone wonder why OPEC+ is cutting back? SaudiArabia is showing signs of oil depletion, as well as the other countries. Even our fracking group is having a tough time keeping up due to dry wells and increasing expense to drill. Peak oil is here.

      JHK rightly pointed out very early that there is NO form of energy production, short of nuclear, that can equal petroleum.

      We are witnesses to it.

      • benr October 10, 2022 at 11:23 am #

        Coal is the answer of the moment.

        It is a source of power and a strong gasoline can be made from it.
        It is also possible to make a form of biodiesel from hemp oil and hemp can grow anywhere using minimal water and fertilizer.

          Hemp is a good source of paper, textiles, and rope. As an annual crop, it outstrips commercial forests in production.

          You could be riding down the road – at a safe and prudent speed of course – in a vehicle with a body made of hemp fiber, fueled by cannabis biodiesel, with the seats – and your clothes – made of hemp, while drinking a cannabeer, and smoking a joint, on your way to your job at some cannabusiness.

          Where legal, the cannabis-as-a-psychoactive-drug market is superoversaturated. We may need to make war on the rest of the world to make them change their anti-cannabis laws (the ones that we persuaded them to enact) and allow us to sell our overproduction – and only ours – to them.

          • benr October 14, 2022 at 9:50 am #

            Yes, Hemp is an amazing plant.
            As is switchgrass for ethanol.
            There are forms of algae grown in salt water with a thirty day grow cycle fed basically sewage that when squeezed yields a high amount of oil that can be turned into biodiesel easily.

            Big cement cisterns in the desert using pumped in salt water.
            They also add moisture back into the air.

      The path has been made clear. Burning wood produces carcinogens, particulate that is harmful to humans, and vapors/gases that harm the environment. They will not pry the wood from your hands, they will replace it with a summons and a promise of a stiff fine for being an eco-terrorist. They will know you by your smoke.

      Did I mention that I have been heating with wood for over 50 years?

      “They” will arrive in a government vehicle (electric). They will be young, enthusiastic, and will believe in their mission. They will view you as a terrorist. They will hate you for your befouling the air.

    The best outcome Putin can hope for now is Ukraine’s partition
    into ever smaller provinces controlled by adjacent nations. As we know Poland, Hungary, Romania, even Moldavia, have made small comments wanting their ethnic populations who are now stuck within the unnatural borders of UKR, they want them back inside their own nations with their own ethnic kin. Or, better, these UKR provinces under some kind of multilateral and local administration. A pan-slavic UN-like peacekeeping function, perhaps. But if Russia proper tries to administer the provinces of UKR, they will have no end of trouble. They have to let go, to prove they are not set upon empire.

          “Depp” is a German slang word, I’ve heard it all my life from relatives using it. It’s the equivalent of fool, idiot, moron, butthead etc. in English. Johnny Depp is well aware of what his last name means in German, and is used to Germans reacting to it.

    BRH

    this is from Takis mag,
    FAREWELL TO ARMS
    As New York preps for a gubernatorial contest between a challenger who thinks crime should be illegal and an incumbent who thinks complaining about crime should be illegal, parts of the state have become so dangerous, even ultraviolent spree-shooters are afraid to walk the streets.

    In 2004 Albany, an “emotionally disturbed” teen named Jon Romano stormed his high school blasting away with a 12-gauge shotgun. Fortunately, “emotionally disturbed” doesn’t always mean “crack shot”; he missed his classmates but blew the leg off a teacher for the disabled, who you can bet got real tired real fast of people pointing out the irony.

    Romano was released in 2020, a reformed man. Sixteen years of prison therapy produced a model citizen. He became an advocate for prison reform. To Romano, a criminal is just a friend who might shoot your leg off. Romano also began volunteering at a local homeless shelter…where last week he was troubled to hear one of the noble residents, a black gentleman, using coarse racial language (likely while debating the Grothendieck–Katz curvature).

    Romano gently suggested to the fine transient that perhaps he could moderate his language.

    And the homeless guy screamed, “Fucking white devil” and pulled out two samurai swords, chopping off Romano’s arms and legs.

    Amazingly, Romano lived. Doctors were able to reattach the arms, which had been completely cut off, and the legs, which hung by muscle strands. Time will tell if the limbs become usable again.

    Bloomberg Businessman article

    Scam, self driving cars will never become productionable, safe or profitable.

    A five year precursor headline for EVs.
    A small headline stated that some auto makers are betting on hybrids and plug in hybrids are the key. Mr. Toyota, CEO of Toyota is very verbal on this.

    Dis

    My RAV4 hybrid prime Dis something amazing on the last trip across US 160 in Colorado. When it goes downhill enough pitch to fire up the charging system enough, it starts charging the plug in battery. I watched the systems work coming down Wolf Creek Pass into Pagosa Springs, we “earned” 11 miles of charge. We went from the pass to 3 miles the other side of Pagosa Springs without used a drop of gasoline, about 40 miles. Through the trip, the highest mileage was 46 mpg, the least about 38 at fill ups. No plug in anywhere. Remember the real saving with plug ins is daily commuting.

    Biden’s pressure on US manufacturers is going to destroy GM and Ford. Can you see us in ten years bailing out the SOBs AGAIN!

          Had a conversation with a guy in a Tesla waiting for a charge in a vons parking lot.
          He was pretty red in the face and said his car was so low he was afraid of getting stuck.
          He said he could not charge it at home or work and he had been waiting almost three hours for someone to move their car so he could have a turn.
          He said he is getting rid of the tesla as fast as he could and was sick of how much effort it took to find an open charging station.
          I have looked at that set of charging stations and there is never an open spot.

            A Norwegian born friend just returned from a visit to her homeland. She commented that every other car seemed to be a Tesla. My first thought— how does that work in a cold climate where the battery efficiency drops by 40%?

            Then I realized that there is an upside to owning a Tesla. When you run out of wood to heat your home (in the absence of Russian gas) all you have to do is pour water over your Tesla until the battery catches fire. The resulting bonfire will keep your entire family warm through the night.

            Believe it or not, there were electric car charging stations all over New York City in the first decade of the 1900’s. The Baker electric car was quite popular back then. Jay Leno has one in his car collection, and he and one of his mechanics get in it and drive it around town. Not only does Jay have a set of the original Edison batteries for the car, but he also has one of the original charging station devices. This episode is easy to find on Leno’s you tube channel. If there are any practical electric cars in our future, it will be something like an upgraded version of the 110 year old Baker.

        John,

        The current law in MA is illegals get driver’s licenses. The RMV automatically registers all drivers with the town or city clerk to vote where the address on the license appears.

        This is legislated by the one-party (not to be confused with the ‘uniparty’, the handful of ‘R’ in the legislature can’t do much of anything against the overwhelming onslaught of ‘D’ ).

        There is now an override question on the ballot. Coincidentally, the signatures for the override were certified just after the voter info booklets were printed and mailed (so goes the story). Thus there is a paucity of info being sent to what I’ll term ‘the real voters’, those citizens whose wallets are constantly fleeced by the solons on Beacon Hill.

        Where does this lead?

        Think snow. Some of these illegals probably don’t have a word for it in their language.

        Think cold.

        Think rapid relocation to a warmer state (Florida?, Maybe AZ?)

        Think midnight planeloads delivered to wherever the newly minted ‘voters’ are needed to tip the ballot box in favor of chaos.

        Because when they show up in another state to the county clerk (or whomever does the voter lists) all they need do is transfer their voter registration to their ‘new home state’. If the clerk happens to check with MA, all will be well, they are on the voter rolls.

        I haven’t the time/resources to calculate how many benefits these ‘new voters’ will be receiving as their entitlement reward. I wake up from nightmares featuring their hands in my wallet and an ever-lengthening list of entitlements following them like a bride’s wedding dress train.

        The D candidate and likely new Queen of the Commonwealth is fully on board with this.

        If the override fails, (another big cheat opportunity), you’ll be seeing them at a polling place near you. Millions of them, as fast as they can be brought to MA, driver’s licensed and registered to vote, then moved along to where they are deemed needed most by the KAOS people.

        What were you mentioning about IDs? The factory is up, slated for production beginning in early 2023 (unless the override succeeds).

        MA does not have a voter ID requirement. Only one county (Hampden, not to be confused with ‘The Hamptons”) uses paper ballots. They don’t need these to vote in MA. Operating a motor vehicle without a license is ‘de rigueur’ in the illegal entry ‘community’.

        Begs the question: ‘Why?’ since they really don’t de facto need the driver’s license. I’ve tried here to provide an answer.

    Volcanoes erupting all over, turns out Stromboli is now erupting.

    Read an article once that said they are a major contributer to global cooling and warming depending on the type of eruption.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromboli

    usgs.gov/programs/VHP/volcanoes-can-affect-climate

    Volcanoes can impact climate change. During major explosive eruptions huge amounts of volcanic gas, aerosol droplets, and ash are injected into the stratosphere. Injected ash falls rapidly from the stratosphere — most of it is removed within several days to weeks — and has little impact on climate change. But volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide can cause global cooling, while volcanic carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, has the potential to promote global warming.

    Sulfate aerosols can cool the climate and deplete Earth’s ozone layer
    The most significant climate impacts from volcanic injections into the stratosphere come from the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. The aerosols increase the reflection of radiation from the Sun back into space, cooling the Earth’s lower atmosphere or troposphere.

    Several eruptions during the past century have caused a decline in the average temperature at the Earth’s surface of up to half a degree (Fahrenheit scale) for periods of one to three years. The climactic eruption of Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991, was one of the largest eruptions of the twentieth century and injected a 20-million ton (metric scale) sulfur dioxide cloud into the stratosphere at an altitude of more than 20 miles. The Pinatubo cloud was the largest sulfur dioxide cloud ever observed in the stratosphere since the beginning of such observations by satellites in 1978. It caused what is believed to be the largest aerosol disturbance of the stratosphere in the twentieth century, though probably smaller than the disturbances from eruptions of Krakatau in 1883 and Tambora in 1815. Consequently, it was a standout in its climate impact and cooled the Earth’s surface for three years following the eruption, by as much as 1.3 degrees F at the height of the impact.

      Even a “little” volcano like St. Helens in 1980, cooled off things for a full year.

        @ JohnAZ:

        I would think that growing corn in Colorado Springs would be a little iffy, anyway.

        It’s interesting the way some crops behave strangely for no reason. This year, the tomatoes were almost a full month late to begin ripening, even though they were planted out at the usual time.

        Some years–though not very often–I will get my first ripe tomato in the first week of June.This year, I got my first ripe tomato in mid-July–very late for around here.

        It didn’t seem to me that the weather had anything to do with this. And I always plant a few Early Girl tomatoes so I will get early tomatoes. It makes you wonder if there is some mystery factor involved, like the level of UV radiation or something.

        Even though the tomatoes started ripening very late, we still got LOTS.

        And don’t forget that they got spanked by an F-16. You know, that antique fighter jet that’s been around since the 70’s.

          Actually no an unpainted unfinished first generation f35 was.
          It was missing most of its electronics package, paint job and tactical computers.
          But you keep flogging that misinformation.
          Feel free to go back and read the article I posted on the subject.

        • Disaffected October 10, 2022 at 5:02 pm #

          F-16 was a good aircraft. Just not made to withstand all the abuse it was capable of for very long. Airframe – particularly wing spars – wasn’t up to it. Especially when they hung all the updated shit on it.

    The US nuclear posture seems to be: the US postures and threatens, relying on the cool heads and rational policies of Russia to keep the world out of nuclear war.

    It’s worked so far, but when the US actually blows up a nuke in Ukraine and blames it on Russia…….then what?

    I wonder about Zelensky. Say you are a basically decent person, happily making a living as a comic, and then some oligarch offers to sponsor you as president. OK, sounds fun, plus you’ll come out of it a rich man.

    But then you get into office and find out that the US/NATO controls everything you do, enforced by Nazi thugs who threaten to tear you apart and hang you in Maidan square if you go against them.

    Damn. What to do? Maybe, just maybe, go along with the plan, but even more. Go ahead and talk crazy like the Americans but say the quiet part out loud.

    Threaten to torture Russian prisoners. Extort more money out of the west. Praise terrorist attacks. Threaten nuclear war.

    Go for it! Your handlers can try to get you to be more discreet, but you just point out that you are channeling their plans. Maybe claim that you are building support for their agenda. What are they going to do, shoot you?
    Well, maybe, but for sure if you bucked them they would shoot you.

    I’m just wondering.

    • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 12:15 pm #

      I don’t know if Zelensky has the cojones to talk back. Then again, he might, after years of being told what to do. It all depends on what his real personality is.

      If he’s just a greedy opportunist, then I doubt he’d say anything but what the US/NATO goons tell him to say. If he actually cares on some level, then perhaps he’s ‘gone rogue’ as much as he can without being strung up.

      I’m guessing the first part of your scenario is probably pretty spot on. He was recruited (just like all of the WEF puppets).

      • Paula D October 10, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

        He knows he can’t talk back. That’s why I speculated that he might be going big, instead.
        As you say, that’s only if he cares.

        But you know that most Americans think that every newly elected president is taken into the back office and shown the Zapruder film from another angle.
        Same thing happened to Zelensky.

        • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 8:30 pm #

          No doubt about it.

    • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 12:20 pm #

      Good Paula. You admit the “Nazi thugs” aren’t in charge at all. That’s better than many here are able to do.

      The “Nazi thugs” are taking their orders from the same people the real Nazis fought: the Internationalists. So in what sense are the real Nazis, beyond just the trappings? Think about it.

      • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 12:28 pm #

        Azov Nazis are definitely running a large part of the show. I think Paula has been clear about this, many times.

        What Zelenskyy is or isn’t doesn’t change that.

        • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 12:43 pm #

          Paula and I disagree.

          Or do you think that “US/NATO” (Paula’s words) are Nazis? Define Nazi. You are using the word in a very weird way devoid of historical context.

          • elysianfield October 10, 2022 at 1:08 pm #

            Jarek,
            Oh Pleeze….you know the answer:

          • GreenAlba October 10, 2022 at 1:57 pm #

            When you see an official Ukranian news station with a presenter sitting beside a picture of Eichmann and pointing out that killing adult ethnic Russians in the Donbas isn’t enough, as the children will grow up hating you, so you have to kill the children, I think that makes the definition of ethnic-cleansing Ukrainian Nazis very clear to most people.

            Most people who saw the footage, that is. ‘Most people’ don’t see footage like that. To consumers of mainstream news, the Azovs are just good Ukrainians fighting for their country.

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 1:59 pm #

            That simply isn’t acceptable. It is wrong and people have to do better. It matters after all.

          • GreenAlba October 10, 2022 at 2:01 pm #

            That doesn’t mean they’re not also being ‘handled’ and financed by the usual suspects (just as the Nazis were financed). There is covert footage of the British military training Azovs, during the 8 years since the coup.

            Alba: You were offered bait and you took it – along with most people. That’s why they offered you this particular bait. They conditioned you fishes after all and thus they know what works on most.

            The Nazis drove people like Zelensky out. So the Ukies can use all the trappings they want. It still isn’t the same thing.

            I admit the historical connection and inspiration. But that doesn’t make it the same thing now. Maybe they’re real National Socialists. Maybe someone took Bandara’s utterances and worked them up into a real social philosophy. I don’t know. But if they are, they’ve obviously deviated to a serious degree from German National Socialism, i.e, Nazism.

          • GreenAlba October 10, 2022 at 5:17 pm #

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 8:22 pm #

            Yes Alba, that’s part of the trickery. And the fool may think he is a Nazi too – but that proves nothing.

            At least admit that it’s a proper noun and that you can’t call everything and everyone you don’t like a Nazi.

          • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 8:29 pm #

            What an interesting way to twist my words to say something I didn’t say (again).

          • GreenAlba October 10, 2022 at 8:37 pm #

            I didn’t ‘call someone I don’t like’ a Nazi. I called Ukrainian Nazis Nazis. Seriously, give it a rest with the nonsense.

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 9:07 pm #

            Nazis were German. That’s by definition. They had allies and international brigades by essentially each people must have their own National Socialism.

            Don’t lose patience. It takes time to get to the Truth. It’s easy and fun to call people Nazis, but almost always wrong.

            Ukrainian National Socialism – inspired by Nazism? Maybe. But they have deviated profoundly if they are working for the very people the Nazis fought against. A pretty basic point. Why are people having so much trouble with it?

          • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 9:48 pm #

            Jarek, everyone but you understands the deal with the Ukrainian Nazis.

            You’re yelling into the void.

          • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 12:52 pm #

            Alba: So your argument is from authority (a fallacy btw) as in, Whatever an newscaster says is the Truth?

            If they say, they’re Nazis, they’re Nazis. And if they say the Vax is a vaccine, it’s a vaccine. And if Obama’s passport says he’s American, he’s American. And if a hamster is born in a goldfish bowl, it’s a goldfish.

            And by the by, Nazi newscasters never talked that way. Sorry!

            This world is a lie at one level or another, Alba. You can photograph a mirage of water in the desert. It’s a real optical phenomena, but there is no water there. So it’s a lie on a deeper level. How deep do you want to go? Deep enough to know the truth? Or are you satisfied with the narrative, the he said, she said?

          • messianicdruid October 11, 2022 at 4:08 pm #

            Yeah these ones are allied with the “Allies” , the International Bankers. So yes, not Nazis.

            Or are you going along with Mary, that anyone who takes up arms is a baddie or a Nazi?

          • GreenAlba October 12, 2022 at 5:45 am #

            The original Nazis were funded by Wall Street. You’re not getting it, are you?

            See Professor Anthony Sutton’s Wall Street Trilogy, in this case Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler: The Astonishing True Story of the American Financiers Who Bankrolled the Nazis.

            The same people funded Hitler, the Bolsheviks and FDR. So your ‘point’ is 100% null and void.

            amazon.co.uk/Wall-Street-Rise-Hitler-Astonishing/dp/1905570279/ref=sr_1_1

            So we are left, as I said, with Nazi is as Nazi does.

          • Jarek October 12, 2022 at 12:30 pm #

            I believe I explained this to you before, but I will again, starting with questions (the Socratic method).

            Do you really think the International Bankers didn’t care who won. In other words, that they funded both equally?

            Communism was their baby from first to last. You really believe that they wanted a strong philosophy of Racial Nationalism to triumph over it?

            As it was, they lost control of both Russian and Chinese Communism. In the end, Russia became Fascist and China, National Socialist.

            So why did they ever fund National Socialism or the Confederacy? Because they want a foot in every door, in case the conflict was a loss or draw. Thus they never lose completely. This has been their philosophy and practice thru the ages.

          • GreenAlba October 12, 2022 at 12:39 pm #

            Don’t patronise me. *They* wanted people dead. The nazis were eugenicists, like them. Ergo they funded the Nazi eugenicists. They’re also funding the Ukrainian Nazi eugenicists.

            Your wriggling is embarrassing, all to prove that Ukrainian nazis aren’t nazis.

        • Jarek October 13, 2022 at 5:33 pm #

          Good, Alba. Back to absolute basics, which is what you need.

          War is about making people dead – the other side. Thus it’s often genetic since you may well be fighting an alien people. Your side is he Eu or good. The other side is the dys or bad.

          Since you’re against all this, you basically want the Tribe and its genes to wipe our genes as per the Kalergi Plan. In other words, if you kill them they win, the corollary being, if they kill you, you win. You want to win!

        The powerless will take what they can to get where they want to be.

        The logic is so basic, that it is surprising that you cannot see it. But perhaps I have overestimated you.

        • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 4:05 pm #

          Even betray what they believe in? Cease to be what they are? Thus your statement – taken to an extreme (and you didn’t set parameters) is contradictory.

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 8:26 pm #

            Well we don’t have to go along with nonsense like that. Someone can claim they are something but we don’t have to believe that they are if the evidence doesn’t warrant it.

            Of course “Nazis” are the ultimate evil in this evil Culture, so the word is used as a pejorative. That completely satisfies Mary, such being her appetite for Truth.

        • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 8:28 pm #

          J likes to tie himself in knots justifying the Azov NAZIS. Note that he even tried to claim I called US/NATO Nazis when I did not. US/NATO supported Azov and used them.

          He also ignored Paula’s reporting on how the Azov Battilion absolutely cucked Zelenskyy.

          So Jarek has been shown over and over the truth, but like any other person brainwashed by his own ideology, he can’t see facts if they don’t gel with his preconceived notions.

          • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 9:03 pm #

            Nazis are the considered the ultimate evil by our culture. So why would the State Department support them? Do you think they’re Nazis too?

            Or maybe they never considered them all that evil – unlike the rubes doing the two minutes of daily hate. The little people like you.

            In any case, why would the Nazis who consider people like Nuland and Zelensky to be the ultimate evil, follow them?

            Motorcycle gangs wear Nazi stuff sometimes. Or skinhead gangs. Do you think the actual Nazis would have accepted them? Life is more than the trappings, Mary. And just as a hamster born in an aquarium is not a goldfish, you are not a real America despite being born here.

            I remember the clip of the Azov who hated Zelensky. That speaks well of him since Z is shit. It doesn’t prove that the Azovs are real Nazis. Real Nazis wouldn’t be working for International Finance. That’s by definition.

          • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 9:47 pm #

            Jarek, if you don’t get it after all the lengthy explanations and links we’ve offered over these past months, I can’t help you.

            Keep flailing.

            Azov Nazis were empowered by US/NATO.

            That’s the fact, jack.

          • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 12:24 am #

            And that doesn’t strike you as strange? That’s it? You who deemed yourself intensely curious even to a fault, seem very blase about the whole thing. Why would Jews in the US State Dept in collusion with Jews in the Ukrainian criminal underground raise up an army of their supposedly most ferocious enemies? And again, why would those enemies not be enemies anymore but underlings to those they supposedly hate? It doesn’t make sense. It makes the same sense as 1+1 equaling 11. I admit it has happened, but it has nothing to do with the actuality of the narrative. They couldn’t have done this with real Nazis you see. And knowing that, they wouldn’t have even tried.

            Answer: The used the “Nazis” to hide themselves, the real power brokers in Ukraine. And it worked. You don’t even see them anymore with all the Nazis dancing in your head. You and countless others. As Bezmenov said, the conditioning will always win. Most people simply cannot or will not fight it.

          To Jarek

          I have to say this – you remind me of the one of these uninvited guests to some party. People are standing around, in groups, chatting and here you are, trying to join the conversations with your imput, but all you are getting is sideway looks and being ignored. So, you are moving around from group to group and the response to your attempted contributions is the same! You know why? Because on your forehead, in big bold letters, it clearly says “Life’s Loser”. You must be a very sad, lonely creature to get here, on this blog and then piss off practically everyone here, including me, which was actually a hard thing to do. I truly hate your criminal “establisment” or “administration” or whatever you want to call it, but I do not hate intelligent, smart, switched-on americans who have to live with that never ending criminality. I sympathise with them – in addition to that, living in the country, being surrounded by an absolute moronic ignorance and stupidity must be really difficult for one’s psyche. Totally understandable.
          But you have actually managed to be that “exceptional” moron and show all that, without any awareness. What can one say? Some kind of an achievement. Well, congratulations then. You deserve it. Sadly, you are also beyond hope..
          Don’t bother replying to me. You will be ignored – from now on and in the future. I don’t waste my time on people like you.

            I don’t think the Communists murdered over a 100 million people because I can do math and use logic.

            What’s more, ISIS is literally named Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, but people don’t bat an eye when their rulers tell them that “ISIS” is in the Philippines (when Duarte got uppity) or Afghanistan (when the US wanted help against the Taliban).

            But you say that Nazi has “Germany” in their name so violent and hateful people in Ukraine can’t use it. I disagree.
            And when I see swastika tattooed men torturing and raping a woman to death for being Russian, even branding her with a swastika, or beating a mayor to death for cooperating with the Russians, or throwing people down a hill into a mass grave, then I call them “Nazis”, even if you want to use the No True Scotsman line.

            In other words Paula, you like the lie so you’re choosing the lie. Well Putin can soft soap it and lie about it all he likes, but real Russians know who was behind the murder of the Czar and his family – and it wasn’t the Nazis. And you don’t fucking care.

        Janos/Jarek believes the “real nazis” aren’t the men of the 14th SS Galician division, or now their grandkids enrolled in Azov and other, yes– Ukrainian Nazi paramilitary (or outright UKe military), but fictional superheroes he has created in his own imagination. He alone gets to define what a Nazi is. And for Jarek, actual Ukrainian Nazis who fought in WWII aren’t Nazis.

        It’s all very bizarre. Janos ought to simply own up to Nazism. He isn’t proud enough apparently of what they did in Russia, or Ukraine, for that matter.

        Look for yourself. Youtube has many videos of SS funerals in Ukraine, Nazis marching in Kiev holding the Golden Lion (divisional patch of the Uke SS), speeches extoling the SS, etc. These videos are all within the last 10 years.

        • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 11:40 am #

          I get it. They’re your Nazis so they’re ok. They’re fighting for Globalism but they think they’re fighting for a homeland, the utter fools.

          Meanwhile Ukraine was being filled up with Blacks and Arabs, and the kids weren’t just being taught about interracial sex and homosexuality, but the whole alphabet and the new tranny stuff too.

          Hate them all you want, but the real Nazis were much, much smarter than this. Ukraine was never going to be allowed to be a real nation. Nothing could be more obvious.

            You can be anti-globalist, anti-catamite agenda, and anti-unlimited immigration— and not be a Nazi.

            Shocking, I know. All these things are not mutually exclusive.

            I’ve met and spoken with Nazis, Janos. Not the children of WASP parents who’ve shaved their heads & taken up punk rock and beer drinking. Or some 4th generation descendent of some central European immigrant to the US.

            You don’t need to tell me about the intelligence of members of the Nazi party. I’ve listened to them, personally.

            One of the most striking things I can remember from conversations I’ve had, was how perfectly logical & normal Hitler’s ascendence appeared to them. In fact, in any normal society, these would be people would have been considered very sane, hard-working, and aware people. Nothing was outwardly evil about them. However, they participated in a larger movement, and a State, that was extremely evil & wicked.

            So, it’s interesting.

      For a mansion? Really?

      On the other hand, Obama was never anything but a sniveling resentful little crapweasel, who. left to rely on his own resources would be working the counter at Hertz or something.

      It’s easy to see why he and that wife of his went the route they took.

    And I’ll be in Scotland before ye.

    Russia is taking the low road. The high road will often take you off a cliff in the fog. To be more exact, it is a luxury of people who have already secured power. Then, certainly, it may often be the wisest course of action – like Reagan not responding militarily when Russia shot down one of our passenger jets.

    But that’s not the situation now, either for Russia or for Us, the citizens of the former United States. To put in historical context: Could we have taken this continent with the high road? Of course not. We subdued the indigenes with Cannon and Claymore, and Canon (holy writ) as well: Our Bible and Laws.

    Putin is doing what he must: Unleashing hell on the dirty clique who rule that evil land.

    I hope the US/NATO are happy that now Ukrainians have to suffer the backlash of poking the bear or as the kids are saying now, ‘fuck around, find out.’

    How absolutely STUPID was that campaign to make a stamp commemorating the bridge being ‘blown up’ – and it wasn’t?

    But now areas of Ukraine are being blown up.

    Hope Zelenskyy & Joey Depends are happy about the misery they’ve unleashed on the Ukraine people.

        I don’t think it was a helicopter and I don’t think he was piloting it.

        • benr October 10, 2022 at 3:45 pm #

          But he was a pilot in the national guard so he prolly could have.

          • hmuller October 10, 2022 at 5:47 pm #

            Air National Guard pilots (part of the Air Force) are not trained to land on aircraft carriers, navy pilots are. Also Bush was never qualified on that model of jet.

            No way could he have been the pilot that day. I don’t care if he was in a flight suit or a Bavarian peasant girl dirndle.

        • Jarek October 10, 2022 at 4:07 pm #

          He was in a flight suit, but was it a pregnancy one?

        • Disaffected October 10, 2022 at 4:59 pm #

          He was riding backseat in a Navy training jet. And the only thing he ever marginally qualified on (his ratings were abysmal) were F-4 era ANG jets. F-100s, I think.

          • Disaffected October 10, 2022 at 4:59 pm #

      Mary,
      I mentioned months ago that Russia’s attenuated tactics might possibly be based on the assumption that “You break it, you own it”, where success was unquestioned and the collateral damage easier and much cheaper to repair than base infrastructure.

      • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 8:23 pm #

        I don’t know, they seem to be trapped, set up to be collateral damage for the warring factions.

        My point is, the US/NATO and Ukraine leadership (US puppet) have set up a situation by which the Ukrainians LOSE.

        It didn’t have to be that way, but that’s how US ran it.

          Yes, I saw video of people who watched friends and relatives be slaughtered by Azov Nazis for trying to leave their city.

    I would suggest that all of those presidential creatures have been “shabby”, “absurd”, and “pretend” for at least the last 50 years or so – hood ornaments for the industrial conglomerate known widely as the US of A, one conglomerate among the many controlled by the global, ruling, financial elite.

    I would further suggest that the last vestigial expression of a President was, yup, JFK. How did that work out? And then there was Tricky Dick – got an idea in his head that he was The President of The United States. Well, at least, they didn’t Kennedy him.

    So, now the psycho-drama is splayed across the masses by casting buffoons, idiots, actors, creeps, and closet gays in the role of hood ornament.

    What a waste of your time, talents, and intellect!

    I could be wrong.

      Actually, they did. It was – as Nixon feared it would be – “those Bay of Pigs guys” who Kennedyed him in the end, via “Watergate”.

      I think Tricky Dick was the last scoundrel to weasel his way to the top through his own efforts, as opposed to all who followed him (and many who preceded) who rode the elevator, pushed upward by the power structure. I respect him for that. That, and the fact that he was a victim of the Bush Syndicate.

    “Last night I had a dream. In the dream I woke up to the banner headline: BIDEN ARRESTED. It was only a dream, but was most satisfying…”

    Resident Biden being arrested might temporarily tickle our deep craving for some sense of residual justice left in ‘The Indispensable Nation!’. But this effort would remain largely an empty gesture.

    Why? Because the Deeply Embedded Deep Dark State marches on regardless of what We the People might do, or if some lackey in service of the Dark Ones gets taken down here and there once in a while. The Dark State Disease lives on and is not touched by some peripheral attempts at ‘Justice” window-dressing. It grows and prospers regardless of anything else going on in the Cosmos.

    We the People have to face the fact that we live in a World that’s a massive sea of corruption. There is no institution large or small that is not corrupted… from the Medical Mafia to Organized Religion to State Media to the MIC to the Miseducation Industrial Complex and on and on. There are billions of people who have allowed their thoughts, deeds, and lives to be corrupted. And even the people who believe they haven’t been corrupted… have been corrupted some how, some way.

    But the answer is not to quit or live in despair. But first we have to fully acknowledge the depth and severity of the Disease in which we live. Only then can we carve out personal lives worth living in whirlpool pockets of civility with the Sickly Sea.

    And there is no Superman (or Woman) coming along to save us. We each have to save ourselves… in our own way… in our own lives… in our own circle of Life.

    But that was always on the table as our personal calling anyway. That’s why we came to this bizarre, sick, Twilight Zone, Clown World of a planet. To meet ourselves and to confront the majesty of mysterious Cosmos we live in.

    Resident Biden is a mess. But so are many of us. And – as a Master once said – until we get the log out of our own eye… we have no right to condemn the speck in someone else’s.

    And beyond the Resident there are countless Messes hiding in the shadows that we don’t even know their names.

    When your house gets so dirty that no amount of cleaning can get the job done… then you carve out a little corner of one room and sweep the floors and wash the windows and let in some fresh air. And live in there.

    That’s our job today. Yours, and mine.

    And the rest of the Mess will have to live with itself and what it has created.

            It’s almost impossible to fire them.

            Schedule F was a mechanism to get rid of people who refused to work and not about Trump placing people in office he wanted.

            Your ignorance is off the charts and it really shows on even something as simple as government hiring practices.

    @EF:

    I have some really bad news for you. After all this hullabaloo about the Japanese swords I sold, I decided to check the one I have left. All I can say is that I never looked closely at them. The one I still have is curved and very heavy; it could take a man’s head off, easily. That’s all I knew. So… yesterday I looked it over carefully; there were no markings on it. Then I noticed one marking. It said one word – Pakistan. So the swords were cheaply made in Pakistan. The Pakastanis apparently like swords. This looks it was made there in a factory and somehow ended up here. Sorry if you got excited. Imagine if you flew here and found that out?

    Anyway, this whole episode got my creative juices flowing. I’m starting to write a novel. You’ve heard of a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, right? Well the tentative title of my story is “A Paki Muslim in the Shogun’s Court”. Or, as a biographical alternative, “ A Massachusetts Jew in the Shogun’s Court”.

    Everything you ever wanted to know about the scandal that’s captivated the world of professional chess.

    Chess. Chess. Chess. You, the audience, quite literally asked for it. It’s the scandal that just won’t quit. On September 4 at a live Chess Tournament in St. Louis, chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen lost in a massive upset to young chess wiz Hans Niemann. This was not supposed to happen and almost immediately accusations and revelations about cheating have gotten wilder, involving AI driven cheating engines and buttplugs.

    Looks like ‘becoming’ a ‘woman’ doesn’t keep any men out of the Selective Service. And it doesn’t recognize ‘males’ who are actually female, either.

    NEW – Biden admin requires trans women to register for draft if they were born male.

    “US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register,” reads the guidance on requirements from the Selective Service System.

    The Selective Service does not require those who were born female but identify as transgender to register for the draft, only those who were born male.

    “…produced-and-directed by the Party of Chaos as a diversion from our own acute problems at home.”
    It looks to me as though all the world leaders understand Mr. Kunstler’s reasoning outlined in his books and understand that they can’t continue with what he calls the greatest mis-allocation of resources in human history. So they jump at any chance to magnify any crisis or even manufacture crises to avoid the real problems. “If it weren’t for X happening the country would be in great shape!”

    Soon, if Mr. Kunstler is correct, the human race will experience a mass die-off. If when everyone agrees with our host, the current trend of identity politics and assigning collective guilt to people of the other identity continues, who will be held responsible for the Long Emergency? Will it be the people responsible for the great mis-allocation of hydrocarbon resources, the squandering of the precious stuff? Who are they? Shouldn’t they be in the “let them die” triage category since they are to blame? Wasn’t it white males who caused this mess?

      Network people at DW, CNN, MSNBC, PBS etc were absolutely giddy over the provocative destruction of the Nordstream pipelines and the Crimean Bridge. They appeared to see it as a personal humiliation of Vladimir Putin– ‘High Fiving’ was in order. No one seemed to consider that there might be pay back, that those assaults on Russian infrastructure might be answered measure for measure. Well, nemesis has arrived sooner rather than later in the form of rocket artillery raining down on Kiev and other cities. What a surprise, huh? Suddenly, Putin isn’t a ‘wounded bear’, isn’t on his last legs and isn’t ready to surrender and go into exile.

    Let the Cyber Attacks begin:

    “Cyberattacks force over a dozen US airport websites offline”

    “Websites for more than a dozen US airports were temporarily brought offline by cyberattacks Monday morning, with Russian-speaking hackers claiming responsibility for the disruption.

    About 14 public-facing websites for a number of sizable airports, including LaGuardia airport in New York City, were targeted and inaccessible to the public. Most have since been brought back online.

    A senior official told ABC News that the attacks did not affect air traffic control, internal airport communication or other key operations. But the official said that the interruption caused an “inconvenience” for travelers attempting to access information.

    The hack has been attributed to a group known as Killnet, Russian hacktivists who support the Kremlin but are not thought to directly be government actors, according to CNN. The group favors distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which work by flooding computer servers with traffic to render them non-functional.”

    My take:

    This according to CNN. Take that with a grain of salt. We don’t even know if it’s Russian hackers. The FBI has had the ability to alter IP addresses and create aliases for over 2 decades. For all we know this was yet another administration attempt at escalating the war in Ukraine to WWIII. The Europeans are all saying it was the US who blew up Nordstrom 1 and 2. Even Biden stated they would do it less than a year ago.

When you are physically unable to do the work yourself, you hire it out. You don’t take a handout.

    Dear JKH Admin,
    If anyone is going to start a nuclear war, it will be the Russians. Vlad has said as much–something you are notably silent on.

    “The Ukrainian leader, Mr. Zelenskyy, capped off the weeks of sabotage by appealing to the US and NATO to conduct “preemptive nuclear strikes” against Russia proper.”

    A simple fact check (e.g., Newsweek) will show you that to leap for that claim, is quite the leap–I get it though, context and nuance is not going to further the narrative you want. Better to just claim what you claim…

    “As of Monday, October 10, Russia began delivering some disciplinary actions against Mr. Zelenskyy’s insolent regime.” I am at a loss as to why you believe Ukraine does not have the right of self-defence and the capacity to strike back at the who strike it–pretty Old Testament to me… If you think it is OK for the Russians to blow shit up in retaliation, why wouldn’t you afford the Ukrainians the same right to blow shit up in retaliation? Ukraine, the recalcitrant irrational child, just getting a well-deserved flogging from father, Vlad, who is curtailing Ukraine’s exuberant desire for independence. Sorry, when father Vlad is smashing up the house, torturing and killing a lot of people, dear old dad loses the credibility to claim he is doing anything worthwhile concerning “insolence.” Especially when he is a drunk and hallucinating, talking to God about his god-given destiny to rule a greater Russia (I mean household…). One might as well talk about 6 Jan 2022 folks the same way. One group’s insolent insurrectionists is another group’s courageous freedom fighters. Still they were breaking the law doing it. The question remains if Russia has been breaking international law by doing what it is doing? I think it does. You don’t think so.

    When you add this to the following claim, “Russia aims to speed up the game clock, consolidate its ownership of the Donbas provinces, destroy Ukraine’s remaining military capability, bust up enough stuff” I am left with the image of someone who is as out of touch as Putin and his inner circle of advisors. Why not have already done this? It would have cut-off so much suffering, if the Russians had done this. And the answer is that they didn’t because they couldn’t. They still cannot do this on the battlefield–they are relying on Iranian drones! Will this campaign of terror work? I doubt it. Didn’t work in WWII. Why would it work now? I guess you think that this will change Ukrainian resolve? Why? Why will it when the Ukrainians are sticking it to the Russians on the battlefield? Do you still believe that malarky about 5000 dead Russians? You only get what you predict if the Russians use the tactical nuclear devices. It shows the Russians have no conventional answer to Ukrainian battlefield successes. Why not come out and say that the Russians need to nuke the Ukrainians to win?

    But doing that undermines the entire premise of your mini essay…

          It is very necessary as (we’ve ‘splained to you before) it’s basically self-defense.

          • hustled enough October 11, 2022 at 11:21 am #

            Hi MaryQueen,
            The reason I “don’t get that” this is a war of self-defence is because it doesn’t look like one. This is a pre-emptive war–and in my opinion, a war of choice.
            To accept that this is a defensive war, you have to ignore a lot of Russian history and the mindset of its autocrats. You have to accept a lot of re-framing of events from a purely Putin-nesque perspective as well as imbibe big helpings of Dugin type ideologies without critical thought. As well as ignore the other side and its perspective.

            And I am not prepared to do that.

          • MaryQueen October 11, 2022 at 6:03 pm #

            There is no other side. There is the US/NATO/Ukraine in bed together trying to attack Russia via the takeover of Ukraine.

            Russia’s not allowing that.

          • hustled enough October 12, 2022 at 10:08 pm #

            Hi MaryQueen,
            “There is the US/NATO/Ukraine in bed together trying to attack Russia via the takeover of Ukraine.”
            If what you are saying is true, it would mean that Ukraine actually attacked Russia. Russia INVADED Ukraine in 2014. You can say that USA & Ukraine attacked Russia, but you can also say that the moon is made of green cheese. Saying it does not make it so. Your reframing makes no sense given the actual history of the region.

            Mary,

            Some folks, like Hustled, studiously seek to ignore the issue of PROVOCATION. He chooses instead to slam Russia for RESPONDING to the provocations of the Ukrainians.

            Here in the Confederacy, we’ve seen this picture-show before. It’s the same game Lincoln played when he sent the U.S. Navy to resupply Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. That was a deliberate provocation designed to elicit a response. That way the Yanks could find fault with our side for “firing first.”

            Note to the unsophisticated: He who fires first is not always the TRUE AGGRESSOR.

            Sorry for the caps-locks, but the emphasis needs to be unambiguous.

And here is a thought experiement for you–if you and the others were correct, the Russians should have been embraced with OPEN arms by the Ukrainians toiling under their fascist authoritarian dictators. And that didn’t happen. And you have to ask yourself why. And just use the same standard when thinking of the Russians.

      Well, there ya have it. We need to nuke them first then. I’d like to see it as a televised showdown; Vlad vs. SloJo. First one to push his button wins: his nukes all launch, while the other guy’s button immediately disables. One push for all the marbles, no alibi rounds.

      In the meantime, I’d suggest the US make a move on Canada or Mexico and call things even-steven. Of course we’d get our ass kicked either way there too, but that might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

      Here’s a dare for Hustled and any other Russophobes out there. I’ll take that back, I double dog dare ya! Copy/paste into the you tube search window and watch on the greatest concerts of all time:

      “Metallica – Enter Sandman Live Moscow 1991 HD”

      Starting at 0:30 at the very beginning take a look at the audience. There’s over a million people in the vast crowd and this was when Russia was still Communist. 30 seconds in you’ll see lots of large flags on long poles being waved about. American flags, a Confederate flag, a British flag. Russians couldn’t get enough Western culture and wanted all the rock-n-roll they could get. AC/DC played at this event. This video has over 35 million views.

      Take a look at all the good will, good intentions, and desire for peace and prosperity that got dumped in the toilet by our “leaders”.

      • Redneck Liberal October 10, 2022 at 8:56 pm #

        Bwahhhahahaaaa…! That was 31 years ago, at the time of the fall of the Iron Curtain.

        Are you seriously putting this up as evidence of why Putin is right to be waging war on his neighbour? People who are, in effect, his cousins?

      • hustled enough October 11, 2022 at 11:25 am #

        As long as you don’t ask me to stick my tongue on a frozen pole in the middle of winter …

        So is that the “Enter Sandman” concert?

        • Woodchuck October 12, 2022 at 11:08 am #

          Not exactly.

          “Monsters in Moscow is a 1992 film featuring live performances by rock and heavy metal bands AC/DC, Metallica, The Black Crowes, Pantera, and E.S.T. in the Tushino Airfield in Moscow, during the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

          In September 1991, only a month after the August Putsch failed, 1.6 million rock music fans converged in Moscow to enjoy the first open-air rock concert, as part of the Monsters of Rock series.”

          Up to three times the size of Woodstock. Back during the cold war era, people living behind the so-called iron curtain were intensely curious about the West and wanted access to Western ideas and culture. I’ve a few relatives, now in their senior years, who once had special visas to travel to communist East Germany. They would often smuggle stuff to the Eastern zone like Playboy magazines, hip clothing, and rock and rock records. The music had a particularly powerful effect on young people in communist occupied countries. Those recordings were valued, copied over and over, and treated like gold.

          The reason I brought this up was to point out that there was at first a tremendous amount of good will and a desire to be like the “free” Western world back then in commie areas. And that good will was spat upon and rejected. There could have been an entirely new system of trade, prosperity, and freedom emerging after the fall of the Soviets. But no, we in the West wanted none of that. We didn’t want peaceful cooperation and trade with Russia. Instead, we wanted to loot the place and take it over. And that plan is failing.

          • Woodchuck October 12, 2022 at 11:12 am #

            that was a good typo, “rock and rock records”. Actually, that has a nice sound to it.

          • hustled enough October 12, 2022 at 10:17 pm #

            Hi Woodchuck,
            I watched the show. Wow. A lot of people!
            I get the point, but I also think that Redneck Liberal has a point. Russia in 1991 is a different beast to Russia in 2021, not least of all because there is NO pretence to being a democracy any longer. It is hard to overstate the manner in which Russia has turned away from the West as Putin has become more and more autocratic.

      Is a “person who started a nuclear war” the person who pushed the button, or the person who gave no other opportunity?

      • hustled enough October 11, 2022 at 11:29 am #

        Hi elysianfield,
        “Is a “person who started a nuclear war” the person who pushed the button, or the person who gave no other opportunity?”

        Would the answer be “both”?
        The question here is: Do you really believe that someone actually has no other opportunity for action than to cause WWIII? A man’s ego may be so strong that he world rather die than acknowledge that he got it wrong, and look for an alternative decision… and take the world with him.

        • elysianfield October 11, 2022 at 11:47 am #

          hustled,
          Both. And, in passing, I would suggest that the ability of a limited nuclear war’s ability to end life on the planet is greatly exagerated..as is a “Nuclear Winter” scenario.

          I don’t believe even an all out nuclear exchange would do the trick.

    Here’s to hoping that Putin has a few hundred war heads ready to rain down on DC; Cologny, Switzerland; and Tel Aviv.

            @ Redneck Liberal:

            One would like to offer you a kind of Cliff Notes version of “how the world actually WORKS,” but one finds oneself insufficiently interested in informing you.

            But–since this has apparently escaped your notice–there is a war going on. The objective in war is to destroy your enemies. This is because they are trying to kill you.

            Sometimes one manifestly IS a victim–as when a a gang of thugs break into your home intended to kill you, rape your daughters, and steal your stuff. In such cases, there can be no question as to whether you should use as much force as is necessary against them–including blowing their brains out.

            We can draw an analogy between “blowing their brains out” and nuking DC, London, Tel Aviv, etc.

            But you go ahead and wring your hands about it, in your signature “little bitch” manner.

        • Redneck Liberal October 11, 2022 at 6:56 pm #

          100th Avatar – I don’t recall ever responding to any of his (usually) banal posts before, but calling for Putin to nuke DC, Tel Aviv, Cologny (sic), Switzerland (! the whole place?) and London is an egregious and despicable sentiment to express.

    • hustled enough October 10, 2022 at 8:52 pm #

      Hi Paula D,
      Let us see what squirt does, shall we? JHK Admin and you (I wager) believe that the Russkies are going to rain death and fire on the Ukrainians.

      Hustled Enough — Not necessarily so. What I said was: Russia will methodically and systematically shut down the Ukr war machine, and that will likely include busting up some critical infrastructure. I’m not proposing slaughter of Ukr civilians by any stretch. Also, I doubt there are very many Ukr regular army troops left. Now mostly Eastern Europe mercenaries and other riff-raff — JHK Admin

      Predictably stated for weeks(!), months(!!!!), since the beginning of the war. And it has not been happening–for all kinds of good reasons. So, you might want to look at prior performance before confidently claiming as you have. If they don’t barrage them for weeks on end, where does this leave you and JHK Admin? Especially as the logic of this requires the West to provide Ukraine with better air defences… and there is that pesky aid, coming again …

      • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 9:39 pm #

        Boy are you in for a surprise.

      • hustled enough October 11, 2022 at 1:44 pm #

        Thank you for the reply JHK Admin.
        I agree that it would be stupid to destroy non-essential civilian targets whilst Russia is locked in a life and death struggle with the Ukrainian army willing to take the fight to the Russians. I agree that the Russians will target critical infrastructure, but that was going to ALWAYS be the case as winter approaches. What is surprising is that the Ukrainians were able to shoot down so many missiles (if they are to be believed). I took the reference to raining death and fire from your mini-essay concerning the claim that the Ukrainian army were being lured into a cauldron of fire, not civilians per se. I think the Kremlin sees civilian deaths as “collateral” damage for the most part, or based on paranoia and some justified worries about partisan activity and intelligence sharing in the occupied territories.

        I think we will have to agree to disagree as to the state of the Ukrainian & Russian armies. It sounds like the Ukrainians have been hammered–if new Ukrainian troops are getting a week of training, that suggests high casualties and the need for fresh meat. At the very least, though, you would have to apply the same standard to the Russians. Being a conscript shoved into the battlefield without any training? Can we agree that the claim that the Russians have lost 5000 dead makes no sense given the moves the Kremlin has made to increase the size of its army recently? If you think that the Ukrainians don’t have much of an army left, it would be reasonable to understand why you think that the Russians are not suffering massive casualties as well. After all, Ukrainian successes on the battlefield make no sense if what you say is true. Further, if it is true that Ukraine has been using tons (literally) of ordnance from the West, that should be having a major impact. I would also add–the Russian nationalist millbloggers support the mobilization to replenish lost forces.
        HE

  62. tucsonspur October 10, 2022 at 7:55 pm #

    Some sort of retaliation must have been expected. The Ukrainians want more missile defense systems, and we’ll probably supply them. The Russians then increase the number of missiles fired into Ukraine and we send more–you get the idea, on and on.

    After Pearl Harbor, Doolittle’s bombers flew from the carrier Hornet’s nest and attacked Tokyo, not six months later.

    The problem for Ukrainians and the US is that we won’t attack the attacker, fearing escalation. This gives the Russians a great advantage.

    Attacking Russia would give Putin more reason to unleash the nukes and the Ukrainians would essentially be committing suicide.

    However, staying with only a home defense strategy, with the US helping to prolong the war, only means more and more suffering for the Ukrainian people.

    There’s only a slim chance of Russian regime change.

    As it stands, Russia will most likely win in the end, and our leaders here must know this. After all of the posturing and after all of the money spent, they will say that the effort was valiant, leaving the Ukrainians in dismal defeat and desiring something much stronger than their mild medovukha.

    Be that as it may, Putin may be a strong leader along with his gang of KGB cohorts using force and fear to stay in power, but he is still a tyrannical, murdering scumbag.

    Some might be interested in the long history of depravity and perversion regarding this type of leader, their will to power often finding it necessary to crush innocence, crave catamites and otherwise cavort in the various cesspools of corruption.

    • MaryQueen October 10, 2022 at 7:58 pm #

      All world leaders are corrupt scumbags.

      But no one with a brain in their head can argue that Putin isn’t doing the best by his country.

      No US leader has ever been able to say that.

      • Anthea October 11, 2022 at 1:52 pm #

        Even if you were a world leader who was not a scumbag–perhaps even a patriot and a statesman–I don’t think you could either gain or retain power without killing your opponents from time to time. (You’d probably need to employ a full-time hit squad.)

        For example, if you were a US president and wanted to destroy Big Pharma, you’d probably just have to kill most of the top people. We have no rule of law for that type of thing. We have Durham-type “investigations” and the occasional slap-on-the-wrist fine.

        Being a head of state means you playing with the big dogs for the big stakes. If you don’t have the stomach for killing people, you’re in the wrong line of work.

        • MaryQueen October 11, 2022 at 3:50 pm #

          Well put. That’s pretty much what I explain to people when they go on about presidents being a ‘good man’ – uh…. nope.

          • Woodchuck October 11, 2022 at 7:49 pm #

            It seems one of the presidents most worshiped by US schoolmasters everywhere is Abe Lincoln. He appeared at another big crossroads in US history. And he stayed on during the bloodiest and nastiest war in US history.

            In feudal Europe, when two kings had a disagreement about some important issue, the dispute would be settled on a battlefield. This was a way of life. If you wanted to become a baron badly enough and be awarded entry level blue blood status – the way to do it was to work your way up the ladder by being one of the best leaders on the field for your team. If you did well enough in a battle and won the day, a king might grant you a coat of arms and some land. You’d be expected to have a castle full of knights that were under your leadership and ready to go for the next big fight or crusade. Kings made decisions that got people killed, it was part of the job. And princes served on those battlefields.

            After the American states parted company with King George, we were proud that from then on we’d be deciding our issues by voting instead of by heading off to a battlefield. We’d supposedly abandoned and outgrown the old barbaric feudal practices – no royal families for us! When the southern state legislatures had issues with the central US government, they voted to secede from the Union. This was done to solve some issues that could only be settled by having a divorce and the two parties going on their separate ways.

            What happened instead was the country decided to settle the issue the old fashioned European way. No voting and accepting the results this time, whatever they might be. In 1860 the USA rose up against itself and settled the dispute like the kings of old did instead. We got out on the battlefields and hacked and shot each other to pieces. Not for a royal family but for the idea that the central government should have more power than the individual states.

            In a truly free country, any individual state should be free to secede if they wish. That’s what freedom is – it’s about choices. We’re free to stay and we’re free to go. President Lincoln thought that was *way* too much freedom. You see, a tiny bit of freedom is ok, but not a lot of freedom. Nooooooooo! And we’ve never been the same since. Today we’re all living in a big roach motel. Easy to get in, but try getting out! Very likely, we still don’t know who we are or why we’re here and just don’t care anymore.

        “Ukraine already has attached Russia proper many times, no doubt aided and abetted by the US. Not seeing any advantage there.”

        Really, Disaffected? Ok, when? If you are pointing to the 2014 + period, you will have to include all the “proper” times the Russians, etc attacked Ukrainians. If you want to exclusively use the Russian framing of these events do not be surprised that there are plenty of folks who will disagree with you–on the basis of alternative framing AND on the basis of any cursory interest in Russian History. Check out Snyder’s Road to Unfreedom, which gives a pretty comprehensive retelling of the last 20 years of Ukrainian- Russian relations, with a deeper dive into what used to be called pan-slavic Russian messianic tendencies…

      You might be right tucsonspur,
      “The problem for Ukrainians and the US is that we won’t attack the attacker, fearing escalation. This gives the Russians a great advantage.”

      Alternatively, the Ukrainians have made it clear that the Crimea is open season as are Luhansk and Donetsk. So, that is plenty for Russia to have skin in the game–and blowing shit up there is going to be hitting the Russians upside the head. And the longer this war goes, the more Russia becomes ON limits…

      As for Putin–history is also replete of examples of tyrants going the way of the mouldering grave …

          • messianicdruid October 12, 2022 at 9:22 am #

            Hi hustled enough – does Ukraine joining NATO show that NATO is not to be trusted? If the 4 provinces [ mostly Russian ] vote to secede, either to become independent or join Russia, who has the right to deny them?

          • hustled enough October 12, 2022 at 10:13 pm #

            Well messianic druid, if the rest of the world looks at the way Russia conducted this “referenda” and decides that “You’ve got to be joking” is the only rational response, who has the right to deny them or Ukraine from continuing an armed struggle to get back what is theirs. And if Sweden, et al want to join NATO, why not. And if the West thinks that Russia has overstepped their boundaries, then–yes, offer the Ukrainians NATO membership AFTER this war is concluded, so that Russia UNDERSTANDS that it is attacking the entire alliance if it pulls this crap again …

        Let’s take a look at the last two previous invasions of Russia attempted by Western powers. Napoleon tried it and was defeated with around 1/2 million soldiers lost. Some 50,000 horses dead. Over a century later Hitler tried it with even more disastrous results. Over one million Germans dead or disabled. The Germans left the field in defeat and this was the beginning of the end of the Nazis.

        Apparently, the West has decided to have yet another go at this, having failed utterly in the first two tries. My prediction is winter horrors might yet a third time play a big part in the defeat of the West. This third war just might do the trick and bring about the final end of the Western empire. After this 3rd try at destroying Russia fails, there will be no more attempts made in the centuries to follow.

        • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 11:55 am #

          No men who is a man can fail to be inspired by Putin’s pledge to his people: the West will never be allowed to invade Russia again.

          He may fail in that pledge, but he will not fail to crush them should they try it.

          It seens to be the West’s strange and rather sick affliction – to try and march on Russia every 100 or so years and EVERY time getting their collective arses kicked, painfully. But then they forget the pain and decide to TRY IT ONCE AGAIN! This is exactly what we are seeing now. In case of USA, it has not expierenced this painful arse kicking yet, unlike the old Europe, but very soon it will. You absolutely nailed it in your last two sentences.

Because, if you can’t acknowledge that Russia got its arse kicked in WWI then, what are you going to claim is “staggeringly”, um, whatever, “ignorance.” Because, not understanding what happened in WWI to Russia is, like, well, ignint.

            Hi Katerina,
            Check out Riasanovsky’s History of Russia as a place to start. It is often used as an introductory college level text in the US and overseas. It is a pretty balanced approach to Russian historical forces. We can get into the weeds if you want.

      To hustled enough

      The biggest loser of WWI was actually Germany if you need a loser. What was happening to Russia at that time was a triple whammy! “Bolsheviks”, i.e. Zhidovski Cabal, with it’s followers, at that same moment were trying to usurp power from the Russian Government, Monarchy and it’s elite, brainwashing (they are very good at that) the masses of workers and peasants and bringing about the so-called “Russian Revolution”. That split the country in half, pitching one side against the other – zhids are also very good at that, the very latest example is the USA. They have split you, poor americans, against each other in EVERY possible way. Don’t you agree? The well known tactic of devide and rule. Well, in Russia it unleashed the bloodiest civil war ever. That fast became the war for survival as the “West” did not miss it’s chance to invade at that moment, in a futile attempt to finish off this break up. That’s what I call a triple whammy. And despite your delusion that “Russia had it’s ass kicked in WWI”, that was not the case. There were NO winners in that war but what was happening in Russia at that time was complete disintegration of the society, the way of life and obviously, the country itself. Painful, total collapse. (Something that awaits USA. Well, Karma is a bitch.)
      That was the first one. The second one came 80 years later thanks to the traitors, like Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Both times Russia survived, rose from the ashes and became a global superpower once again. And do not forget the MOST devastating war in history that Russia had to fight in-between, with invading Nazi Germany, losing close to 27 millions of it’s population but rolling that Nazi scum all the way back to Berlin.

      (Perhaps you are also under another delusion that it was USA that won that war? I will leave that for another day. But that never ceases to amaze me. I am refering to the West’s shoddy habit of re-writing and re-inventing the actual history!)

      Well, can USA go through ALL that, what Russia had to go through?
      And still survive? I don’t think so. The biggest mistake it has made was to designate Russia as it’s enemy. But then when you realise WHO controls and runs your “establishment” and EVERYTHING else, that becomes very clear – unfortunately, yes, that very same Cabal. That’s why I have said it earlier – we all have ONE common enemy – evil, vile, satanic but also very cunning. And have been brainwashing you people for decades! Successfully, it seems..
      The good news – more and more are becoming awake and aware.
      This site proves it and JHK posts are loaded with much needed info.
      You can also go on Saker and read my essays there. Published two years ago, still being read and even translated in other languages. You can learn a lot if you want to learn. Just tag Katerina, it will bring it up.
      One thing I will not tolerate is someone regurgitating garbage pigswill picked up from the MSM. If one wants to swallow that — good luck to them but do not polute this site with it. What you are getting there are lies, more lies and propaganda. Ignorance, quite often, is not a bliss.

    94% of the people showed abnormalities in their blood after the jab. 100% of these showed alterations to their blood post injection.

    All the International abnormal blood samples of injected persons, 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations & frequently also crystalline & lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples.”

            Hi Redneck Liberal,
            I noticed that no one actually engaged any of the points you raised, except to say that people are playing soccer, and that is relevant because… well, I don’t know why, but, there you go.

            What I have found when I have looked at the studies that those who are against the vaccine is that they do not usually say what people think they say. As far as I know, the major take home is that the vax has some side effects for SOME people–the one that people focus on here is the inflammation of the heart. That is real, but the question is–how prevalent.

            Each person has to make their own cost-benefit analysis–is the risk of an unusually bad side effect worth not having a shot that has PROVEN efficacy against serious illness or death from this horrid disease. And the answer is–it is your calculation.

            I would just add that the statistics for the US are UNEQUIVOCAL–most of the dead people from this disease after the vaccine became widely available are amongst those who do not take the vax shot. If you are older and you don’t get it, you are affirming the higher risk of death, and that is your call.

            In the UK 94% of those dying of covid are vaxxed; 91% are triple vaxxed. And that’s worse than it sounds because the government has been pretending that 4 million adults aren’t vaxxed (to make them sound weird and fringe), whereas the ONS figures demonstrate that almost 19 million adult Brits haven’t taken the genetic slurry, which is a very large minority of the adult population.

            Also the European stats are unequivocal – excess deaths are highest in those countries that are highly vaxxed (notably Portugal) and lowest in those with a low vaxx rate.

          • Soul Forensics October 10, 2022 at 11:53 pm #

            I’m sure you’re familiar with the term “projection”. You’re consistently predictable. Feminists have been saying exactly the same thing, in exactly the same words, for over 40 years: “Who needs men?”

            Of course, in order to keep your world livable — you know, collecting your garbage, building your bridges, clearing branches and restoring your electricity when power lines are down, fixing your roof when rain leaks into your living room, fixing mechanical equipment on industrial sites that make the million-and-one component parts for appliances and medical goods, putting out fires when your house starts up in flames — you have no problem with, and in fact an unignorable necessity for, leaning on men’s skill and expertise and courage. So much for your independence.

            But I suppose you could counter with your “who needs men” in the domestic realm, the realm of sex and love. Some women, indeed, can do without men — they’re cold and asexual. It strikes me, though, that you’re pretty feisty, a pretty passionate woman. And passionate women almost always have very high libidos, even at 50 to 60.

            Most of the “who needs men” phony independence is from this subset — older feminists whose prospects for a long-term relationship is close to nil (for many reasons). They compensate for the disappointment by trying to convince themselves that they’re happy and “independent”. You convince no one but yourself.

            @ Soul Forensics:

            If women would rather have cats and vibrators, it is almost certainly because they would rather have cats and vibrators. Hence, we can deduce that male company is inferior to the company of cats and vibrators.

            It’s also inferior to the company pet rocks.

            Fortunately, this is not an either/or choice. Dispensing with male company means that the time that would have been consumed in the company of a bore may be spent with interesting people, doing interesting things. The time that would have been spent providing free maid services to a man can be spent in pursuits you enjoy.

        • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 1:23 am #

          Have you ever looked at a middle aged woman?

          I’ve seen one or two over the years who were still desirable. But as for the rest? What can one do but try to be kind and take a hands off approach.

          • benr October 11, 2022 at 10:26 am #

            Every chance I get I roll over every morning and look at one I have been married to for 30 years.
            Stop being such a hater Jarek it’s not a crime to be a women.
            Some of my favorite people are women in fact my best friend is one.

          • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 11:59 am #

            God bless you Ben. Maybe your friend has aged so slowly that you don’t even notice it. Just like people still go to hear the stars they love and don’t realize that the stars can’t hit the notes anymore.

            Not all illusion is bad. The world depends on such things. I’m only the enemy of Illusion that will destroy life, not those that enhance it.

          • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 12:07 pm #

            So single women look at Ben and his wife and say to themselves, she has somebody good. I can get somebody good too.

            It doesn’t work like that. You don’t have the power of illusion, based on lived history and love, going for you. Any man will see you fresh – as you are now. No makeup or dim light can hide the reality.

            And even clear sighted men will usually stay with a women has bourn him children and loved him. Appearance and sex are by no means everything. But they are by no means nothing either. Ladies, spring cometh not again. Plant while the fields are green and fertile and you will reap in season and be comfortable with a friend in the when winter comes.

            What does this mean on the macrocosmic level? Women should be encouraged to marry young and have children young. They can have careers later, when the children are older if they like. Nothing is sadder than women who have already lost their looks desperately trying to find someone and have kids past 30 – or even younger.

          • Paula D October 11, 2022 at 3:03 pm #

            Women over 30 or even younger have ”lost their looks”?

            Interesting. Looks like Jarek is a ephebophilic.

            Should have figured it out before. He made it clear he doesn’t like adult women. They’re too uppity.

          • hustled enough October 11, 2022 at 3:40 pm #

            Hi Jarek,
            Then it sounds like physical beauty is very big for you in deciding whether a woman is worth knowing or not–and by “physical beauty” I mean an image of youth without wrinkles, sagging, and perhaps stretch marks from the labour of carrying and birthing the next generation of the human race.

            Or do you have some other standard? Because by the standard I am hearing from you, not many people–female or MALE would reach your standard of acceptance in their 40s or beyond. Is that right?

            If it is, why would you accept the “reality” of a superficial unknown unmediated beauty norm over the “illusion” of a lived, mediated understanding of someone deeper than a surface dermal layer? With, you know, wisdom that comes from a rich life.

            And as more and more women go to college compared with men, and earn their living without men, and earn more than them, it will be interesting to see how many men live up to the expectations of these women… and whether they will be wanted by these middle aged women…?

          • MaryQueen October 11, 2022 at 3:42 pm #

            If you think women 40+ are ugly, then you think women are ugly as a whole.

            And that only looks matter to you when it comes to women is an even bigger indication that you might be completely shallow.

            But most incels are, they’re as bad as the autogynophile trannies.

          • MaryQueen October 11, 2022 at 6:26 pm #

            What you don’t realize, is most women aren’t looking.

            That’s an overused stereotype used in movies and TV shows, not real life. I don’t know any single women over 40 looking for a male mate. Most are happier to be left alone.

            We don’t really care if you find us attractive or not.

            That seems to be what some dudes on this site don’t understand.

        • Woodchuck October 11, 2022 at 12:11 pm #

          Locker room talk is always a bit juvenile. After countless man hours spent going over everything Trump ever said, the “grab ’em by the pussy” statement is about all the dirt the Dems could find.

          Keith Richards recalls in his autobiography a situation the very reverse of this bit of locker room talk. Richards wrote that nothing was more terrifying than being caught in a crowd of hysterical teenage girls. Once, a mishap placed him right in the middle of mob of them, and the girls piled on him like it was a football game. They grabbed everything on him that they could get their hands on. “Now that you’ve finally got me – what are you going to do with me?”

          He was wearing some heavy chain jewelry around his neck and two girls had hold of it pulling on it as hard as they could and choking him. The cops broke it up and chased the girls away but by that time he’d passed out.

          People like K R would sound funny with the locker room talk, They’d never have any need to impress anyone with such talk about grabbing the ladies. Instead, they’d have stories of needing police protection to keep them away and to avoid being grabbed by an out of control mob of wild young hyenas.

          • Jarek October 11, 2022 at 12:22 pm #

            Keith was outraged when Mick was knighted. These are the people who used to bust us for smoking pot, he thundered. Mick reminded him, We’ve won, Mate.

            What can one say to that? Keith obviously realized it was a booby price. The ultimate defeat for a natural rebel is to triumph. And in this case, he’s right on many levels. Rock was the music of rebellion. Now it must die. And the music of hedonism – which leads to death in any case.

        • Redneck Liberal October 11, 2022 at 8:47 pm #

        True, the Lord & Saviour, Orange Jesus, isn’t the President – and congratulations on actually admitting “out loud” (in print) for all the MAGAts to see that the election wasn’t rigged – but like shit on a blanket, he’s hard to eradicate.

    I rarely comment, although I have read your blogs and commentaries for decades now. I was personal friends with the late Mike Ruppert. He was a genius and studied visionary, but almost always too reactionary. He was on alert mode all the time, and perhaps he lived in the future in the now, because his timelines were always premature. But they are all coming true now. Bless his spirit, free now, because he was right.

    You, Jim, seem to still hold out some hope for us humans. I hope that time will also prove you right! The trajectory humanity is on now is soul-numbing to sentient and thinking beings. It’s a difficult time to be awake and alive.

    The good news is that we all die, of something, eventually. And we definitely do live in interesting times. Thank you so much for sharing a valuable service, doing the research, and spending much of your own time to enlighten many who still seem to not have no clue.

    Kanye West and Dave Chappelle, is there a pattern? The industry wants both of them cancelled. Black rappers and comedians are free to denigrate black people and white men a million different ways. But there’s a line they better not cross. And everybody knows it.

    Jason Whitlock

    Kanye is now one of the most important men alive. Anglin has declared his allegiance, calling him the Leader of the White Race. Certainly Putin is as well of course, but here in America, it’s Kanye.

    How many White politicians would dare to put on a White Live’s Matter t shirt? Maybe Maj, but that’s about it I’m afraid.

    • gustafson.robert.22 October 11, 2022 at 2:06 am #

      Hard sometimes to believe (when Kanye’s one of your most impressive public advocates for instance) that whites don’t pretty much deserve the derision we receive, and that one’s best future as a U.S.A. citizen isn’t to foster secondary racial allegiences.

    Kanye came close when he put on the shirt. He crossed the Rubicon when he said “I’m going def con 3 on the Jews. As Jason Whitlock said, He’s going after a group that he feels has harassed him. If he had said that about Whites, it would have been fine and more than fine.

    But the group that no one can criticize is the group that is in charge. And now they will show their power – even as they have in Ukraine. They offered up the facade of Nazism over there and people eagerly accepted it – anything rather than express the simple truth.

Lesbian nuns practicing Wiccan Witchcraft in nunneries? They can’t even consider such things! Thus such things are possible and do happen. People’s fear make it possible or in the case of Kanye’s ascent, necessary.

        He is definitely afflicted with the “artistic temperament”
        – doesn’t suffer fools
        – inability to run with the herd or resist pushing “that” button
        – inability to reconcile hypocrisy
        – temperamental but loyal

        But many “genius” types tend to skew towards crazy.

        In the same interview he said he will be president and then went on a largely incomprehensible tangent about Tesla (another touched genius) and Musk.

        The last thing you can do to a guy like this is attempt to manipulate him.
        It’s extra-sensory. The ability to detect quick and clever and sustained manipulations

        • SoftStarLight October 11, 2022 at 11:22 am #

          Yes, he does go off on an awful lot of tangents and he changes subjects very frequently and blends them together sometimes. And so of course his enemies accuse him of being mentally ill. Commoners will likely accept this because they are more accustomed to extraordinarily linear thinking that focuses most often on making money or making everything easier and more convenient.

    Many people think the DS will do all they can to avoid an all out war or nuclear war. Many fail to realize that the satanists view all of the deaths that will come of it as a sacrifice to their god, the more the better. They have nothing to live for outside of ruin and death, this is what the 2020 election was about, I don’t see any way that they allow things to change in ’22 … Just look at Ezekiel, Matt 24 and 25, Revelation for a glimpse of what God assures us is to come – and then run to Jesus with everything you have because He paid the price to save your soul!

    Biden being called a political skunk.

    President Biden’s recent approval ratings are “abysmal,” and that’s why Democrats are avoiding him with the midterms less than a month away, Fox News’ Jesse Watters said Monday on “The Five.”

    JESSE WATTERS: Try selling a house that someone died in. You can’t do it. It won’t sell, it spooks the customers. That is what the Democrats are going through right now. These approval ratings are abysmal. Biden is down 18. underwater in Arizona. Minus 20 in Georgia! Minus 17 in Nevada, minus 24 points in Ohio! It is so bad. He is a political skunk. It is like no matter how many showers the Democrats take, they cannot wash the stink off of them. Trump, Obama, Bush, I remember they used to go out and barnstorm in September and October.

    BIDEN APPROVAL REMAINS UNDERWATER AS 69% SAY US HEADING IN WRONG DIRECTION: POLL

    They used to go around and hold up their hands “all right!” Have you seen Joe Biden do that one time? Has Joe Biden held an actual rally for an actual contender since Labor Day? No! No! You haven’t seen any images like that. I dare you to fact-check me. Doctors don’t want him out there, either. He can’t be flying all over the country right now. He can’t do two consecutive days of traveling. The only person that wants him to campaign for them is Stacey Abrams. And Biden is not going to campaign for her because he doesn’t want to be associated with a loser. Even he knows she’s going down.

    “How about : BIDEN, OBAMA, AND 639 FEDERAL OFFICIALS IN NINE AGENCIES ARRESTED. What a strange moment in our long and steadfast history as an orderly Republic that would be. And yet, what a perfect ending to these years of perfidy and travail.”

    I would love that too, Jim, however I don’t believe that will ever happen. Or perhaps, not without a Constitutional Convention and a John Lockean-styled government reversion back to the People, type moment.

    This won’t happen. The Deep State (permanent military/admin bureaucracy) has grown roots much far too down in our government. We do not have a functional Republic anymore. The Executive branch in particular, is a fiction on the People. We are also in an extremely dangerous position of the legacy media acting as a State propaganda organ for the government. Instead of “truth to power” it is now “power over truth” by the likes of MSNBC, NPR, NYT, and WashPo (amongst others).

    I need to choose my words very carefully here. Censorship in the US is very real.

    Yes, we still need to continue voting & participating PEACEFULLY. This is very important.

    Like the aforementioned Constitutional Convention, there are methods for the People, particularly on the local level, to change the future outcome. If enough liberty minded individuals on the local level get into a position of at least localized power, this can have a ripple effect. At the least, when centralized government which is controlled by the permanent bureaucracy, attempts to force unconstitutional policy, a vast network of liberty minded state officers will be able to push back– and if large enough– I’d argue it could be effective.

    Remember, once the federal government deploys tanks on the street to maintain power– they’ve already lost. A government that relies on repression, will not last.

    The US government is definitely deploying federal police as a force of repression. The Jan.6th riot aftermath is a great example of this.

    • Disaffected October 11, 2022 at 11:46 am #

      Pete,

      I see it happening in the aftermath of a failed war efforts against Russia and/or China. After that the dollar will collapse and the “full faith and confidence” in the US government will be revealed for the bullshit lie it always was. At that point the gloves will come off, with or without help from external actors. The states will peel off in droves, the Feds will try one last gasp effort to hold it together, and we’ll see who’s got the nuts to prevail. I expect external help will be needed somewhere along the way to disable and lockdown the nukes and all the other WMDs the FEDs have been busily stockpiling all these years, followed by war crimes tribunals and possibly even summary executions of the current and past jackals in charge, good old third world style. In the meantime we’ll likely see mass exodus of the current population to anywhere that will take them, as US citizens find out the hard way that their current affluence will buy them no special favors once their money is shit. Sad, because this hard landing has been foreseeable for at least the past twenty five years (I wrote a paper on the debt issue way back in 2003 in college, the profs thought I was batshit crazy and alarmist), and yet, here we are.

      528 above ground nuclear tests thus far, including the 50-100 megaton Tsar bomb in ’61. Atmospheric testing fell out of favor in about 1963. Winter’s coming but not due to those bombs. You’d think we would all be glowing green by now.

        Exactly. When you can garner enough nuclear weapons to gouge out untold billions of tons of detritus,hundreds of square miles worth,let me know. To compare nuclear weapons with two enormous meteors is unfortunate, and wrong, by at least a factor of 10,000.

        Fear the radiation and blast effects…fear loss of infrastructure. The dust resulting in several thousand explosions, many airbursts, might make your tomatoes ripen a few weeks later than usual. But,as an added bonus, you might be able to pick them at night, if they glow….

      The latter figure offered up by Col. Jack. D. Ripper was the one Kennedy mused over, when toying with the idea of initiating an exchange: “Can I afford to lose twenty million voters?” was the quote I read.

    Russia has had its’ ass kicked since Day 1 by a corrupt country with no Navy, a small defensive Army, and limited Air Force. It is obvious that after the fall of the Soviet Union, the military of Russia has decayed to an antiquated paper tiger. To believe otherwise is delusional.

    What makes this so dangerous is the nuclear capability Putin has. He is backed into a corner, embarrassed by losing this stupid war, and knows no way out. To believe he is now going to pull out some hidden “real” military now to run thru Ukraine is just crazy.

        Of course we have provided weapons to Ukraine, that is what superpowers do. It’s what Russia did in Vietnam and what we did in Afghanistan in the 80’s. If you can maneuver your opponent into a costly local war with a third party, then you view that as a win. This has been going on since the end of WW2.

        Unfortunately, some of the weapons we are providing are so advanced as to call into question the use of armored vehicles on the battlefield.

        The point I was trying to make is that we have pushed Putin into a corner with a country on his border and he hasn’t shown me the ability to resolve this war conventionally. I don’t agree with most on this site that Russia is winning and any day now and it will be over. I believe that thinking minimizes the danger we face.

        I’m not happy with $80 billion of my tax dollars going there either.

          The people of Donbass and Crimea voted years ago to not be a part of Ukraine.

          The people of Mariupol and Odessa also rose up against the 2014 coup. They were brutally suppressed by the US-backed Kiev regime.

          The people of Ukraine voted 73% for Zelensky in 2019. He ran on a platform of peace with Russia and negotiation with the people of Donetsk and Lugansk.

          And aren’t they all Ukrainians? (Obviously, not anymore for the ones who voted to rejoin Russia. Or don’t they count in your neocon fantasy world?)

      If Russia had attacked Ukraine with the hellfire and fury model run by the US in Iraq, they would have been condemned world wide.

      They have made a major error, that war can be “nice”, “contained”, the same mistake the US has made over and over.

      War is hell. War is fought to win, to eliminate the other side. Grant knew this, when Lee surrendered he had less than 5000 bare footed soldiers left. If war does not eliminate one side or the other it just keeps repeating itself. Think Afghanistan.

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

      Ukraine had the largest army in Europe by far, armed and trained for the last 8 years to be up to NATO standards. They had more military equipment than other NATO countries combined.

      They also had an Air Force and a Navy. Plus, the US was building a naval base on the Black Sea (destroyed by Russia in the first days). They don’t have those now because Russia destroyed them. It makes you look really stupid to claim that they never had them and that Russia is losing, just so you know.

      Russia is now fighting Ukraine, the US/UK and NATO. There are thousands of Polish mercenaries in country, as well as Americans, Brits and other riff raff, supposedly including ISIS (helping the Nazis in a whole different country than their name states).

      There are also NATO command and control using US satellites and spy planes to guide the Ukie troops into the weakest Russian points.

      Oh…wait. Scratch those NATO command and control officers. A lot of them no longer exist.

      But do go on with your omnipotent fantasies of American power and glory.

      The USA lost to sandal-wearing peasants in Vietnam, even though they killed millions, displaced 10s of millions and poisoned every rice paddy, and water buffalo they could.

      The USA lost to sandal-wearing goatherders in Afghanistan, who actually had no army, no navy and no air force, even though the Americans blew up wedding parties, funerals, jirgas and pine-nut pickers by the thousands.

      But nothing stops Americans from beating their (sunken) chests and bleating out tales of their glorious prowess. Facts don’t matter. As the Evil Reagan once said “Facts are stupid things”.

      Actually that should be the new US motto. E pluribus Unum isn’t working out so well.

      Again, when you have been chanting a talking point “The Russians have run out of missiles and must now use nuclear weapons”, which has now been disproven spectacularly, you really shouldn’t embarrass yourself by repeating it now. It is only your ruling overlords conditioning the public to accept the “Russia did it” line when the US blows up a tactical nuke in Ukraine.

      The US threatened Russia with nuclear weapons, Putin reminded them that Russia also has weapons, and the MIghty Wurlitzer of Propaganda turned that into “Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons”.
      Only complete idiots would believe them.

    That is why a non political newcomer such as Trump could beat down the DS in 2016.

    This blog is split regarding Russia. I just remember the it is the Biden Mob, it does exist, that set up the corrupt Ukrainian situation and the Deep State MIC that continued to build up NATO after promising it would not in 1991.

    Put yourself in Russia’s moccasins for a five mile walk. US lies and manipulations have put us where we are.

        ========

        Speaking of such irrationally emotional people:

        Back in the day Peter yoose to own an 18’6″ fiberglass boat with a big outboard engine on the back (Merc, Evinrude, I forget). We were all out for a cruise one summer day on the big bay that abuts Toms River, NJ.

        This would be me, my wife, our three kids, plus Peter and his wife Dar. A huge storm came out of nowhere… black skies, high winds, torrential rains and cresting waves.

        There was much female screaming. Peter stood at the helm becoming unnecessarily beside himself. We were headed back toward the dock where we had earlier launched from.

        Peter ordered everyone but me into the tight space in the bow. Two women and 3 kids crammed under the bow’s deck like sardines. If the boat had turned over they’d have all drowned for sure.

          Mea Culpa: I’ve destroyed several keyboards and cell phones in my time. Cellphones I’ve learned to just avoid altogether, while I now budget for replacement keyboards. I’m hard on them anyway, as I learned to “type” on the old-fashioned mechanical models way back in the day, and I still strike the keys like they’re mechanical. I’m a dinosaur that way. Most of my keyboard destructions were due to MS Excel lockups and meltdowns, which still irritate me beyond belief. I literally see and turn red, but I consider it therapeutic, as I hold nothing in. It passes like a storm fairly quickly and is then gone.

      They’re going balls to the wall here for Hispanic Heritage Month. At the same time yesterday was declared ‘Indigenous Peoples Day’, and nobody in govt or media had many kind words to say about Christopher Columbus, I’ll tell you what. Which is pretty strange since Columbus is the founding father of Spanish America. They had to twist themselves up like pretzels to avoid that fact — this they did by labeling the Great Navigator as a racist, White Supremacist, colonizer and enslaved — you get the picture. What simple minded people lefties are. Of course this is nothing more than an assault on our White, European Heritage. As far as the Indigenous People go, about 20 years after Columbus last set foot in the Caribbean Hernando Cortez introduced the concept of the Wheel to them lol.

      One fact that is not widely known is Columbus’s son established a library in Spain that was the greatest collection of books, maps, manuscripts, ships logs etc. since the library in Alexandria was destroyed in the 8th century. The library lasted centuries and preserved many priceless works of art & literature that can be seen to this day.

      Needless to say, Columbus and other Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century didn’t find any libraries in the Americas — the first Indigenous people they encountered — the Caribbs — were cannibals.

They’re all shocked, SHOCKED, at the way Putin responded to the destruction of the pipeline and the Kersh Bridge. How dare he? He’s a bad boy, that Putin is — and will soon get his comeuppance.

        That about sums it up. Quite a few retired NATO Generals — who have never been in a war — were voicing their expert opinion, which was Ukraine is kicking Russian ass and Russia was on its last legs. (But what about those Russian cruise missiles falling all over Kiev?)

            Wouldn’t surprise me if the Euroheads start pulling all their pews out of the churches and use those for tinder.

I now know that, 90% of all medicine is not for anything else than profit for them. Low profit and effective medicines are bashed and marketed as ineffective because they go against their narrative and profit plans. One of them is wonder drug Ivermectin. I see that everyday people search for it but can’t find a place to obtain. You can get yours by visiting getmeivm.com

    Does anyone else notice these stock photos of destroyed Russian military equipment exhibiting large amounts of rust and oxidation? I see pictures of old Russian tanks abandoned in the gutter, and they are all rusty and brown. I understand that fire will cause some of this discoloration, but most of these pictures make it look this this equipment has been sitting abandoned, exposed to the elements for years.

    I don’t think this is the truth, or what they intend to convey. I don’t trust photos I see of anything being presented by the news media. It is all photoshops and lies.

    • benr October 12, 2022 at 6:12 pm #

      The answer is they are rusted out.
      The Russians just paint over the rust and when they burn all the paint burns off showing the rust.

  90. Q. Shtik October 11, 2022 at 5:57 pm #

    I am starting this comment with a definition of soul. Below are two definitions. I prefer the first one. No doubt there are others:

    1. the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.
    2. the spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or the universe.

    I don’t like the second definition because it limits souls to “human beings, all rational and spiritual beings.”

    How convenient! All the other beings that possess life somehow live but not because they have an animating principle.

    Sorry, I don’t buy that. I believe all living beings possess an animating principle just like humans. I was reading in today’s NYT an estimate that there are at least 2.5 million ants for every ONE human.

    Elsewhere I read that a human body contains within it, mainly within the digestive tract, about 40 trillion bacteria with whom we live in relative harmony (we can’t do without them and they can’t do without us) and that these bacteria die off and are replaced about every 12 minutes. The replacements come into being mainly by a process of division.

    So, all these ants and bacteria (or individual bacteriums if you will) and all else that possesses life have souls or animating principles. How could they not? It would make no sense.

    The big question is ‘from whence do they come and to where do they go (i.e. what becomes of all these animating principles (these souls) once they cease to animate inanimate matter?’ Are they immortal?

    They are if human souls are immortal, otherwise they are not. My position is that souls exist so long as they animate inanimate matter and cease to exist when they cease animating matter. In short, when the being dies.

    Why should HUMAN beings be different (superior?) than all other beings as to their animating principle?

    Hubris.

    And plant life is even more mysterious.

        Careful. Jarek will be along to tell you that it’s the guy’s fault for marrying her. I mean, he should have known 20 years ago what she was going to think when the kid dropped dead in front of her. So it says something deeply damning about him that he picked that particular woman when he could have picked one who would have reacted differently 20 years after he picked her.

          You were having a gay old time talking about your husband’s foibles until I reminded you that it reflects on you for picking him. I admit that maybe he’s changed for the worst since you picked him. But you no longer wanted to talk about it.

          Rather, you were shocked, like a vampire presented with a cross.

          Women do this all the time. They bond with each other by trashing men – even their boyfriends and husbands. Btw, this is something that men do not do. Men are much better people in this regard.

          • Anthea October 12, 2022 at 5:56 am #

            @ Jarek:

            Once again, you are attempting to enforce the idea that anyone at all, including married people, are responsible for the behavior of others. People are responsible for their own behavior. To accept responsibility for others’ actions is to take on the role of an enabler.

            You are attempting to convince or shame GreenAlba into assuming the role of an enabler. You are also trying to shame her into silence about her husband’s behavior.

            The way that works is, you shouldn’t do shameful things if you don’t want people to know about them. No one is under any obligation to protect people who behave badly by keeping silent about their behavior. Actually, one has an obligation to speak openly about it, in order to protect others.

          • Anthea October 12, 2022 at 6:00 am #

            @ Jarek:

            You make no argument that GA’s husband is right.

            You merely argue that his behavior is somehow her fault or responsibility, and that she should keep silent about it.

            Is is perchance a matter of great importance to you that you convince people not to talk about your doings? Or that you convince them that your doings are their fault or responsibility?

            This is a mental illness, you know.

          • GreenAlba October 12, 2022 at 6:01 am #

            And, by the way, I wasn’t having a ‘gay old time’ talking about what you so delicately call my husband’s foibles. It’s embarrassing having to speak out about somethine as shameful as that. But I happen to believe in honesty, unlike yourself, so I made the point (at cost to myself, given your shameless manipulative behaviour), that doctors are not all taking a particular view for money or whatever, but most (certainly in the UK) are simply brainwashed like the rest of the population, and get their information from the government and the British Brainwashing Corporation or The Guardian.

            Obviously you would find me more admirable if I had not been honest and told you about my husband – I could have said nothing, but that’s not my way. My so-called friend of 30 years, who has cancelled me for talking about the whole vaxx issue, told me years ago that I was too honest for my own good. And so it has turned out, it would seem, in a world of snakes like yourself.

            What I said is that you are told what you are told – for further information, including the psychoanalysis that you crave, no-one has an obligations towards you. You may make up lies, if you wish, but you will be judged for those one day, like everyone else.

            Incidentally, I have a brother who is completely brainwashed too. He has refused to listen to or read a single thing out of the dozens of links I’ve sent him over the last 14 months. I’m not responsible for him either.

          • GreenAlba October 12, 2022 at 6:10 am #

            I also tried to warn the people in my school WhatsApp group, who have lost four people to heart attacks since the booster rollout. I’m not responsible for them either, just because I agreed, several years ago, to be in a WhatsApp group with them, without magical powers of insight into what their level of confidence in the government and mainstream media would be following the military-grade psychological warfare waged on them by their own government and its behavioural psychology teams.

            Many years ago, I went into a high school teachers’ lounge to have lunch. I was alone. Soon the principal of the high school, a little tiny black woman, came in and went into the restroom. Immediately after that several other teachers came in and began to talk about the principal, sharing jokes and stories about what an idiot she was and referring to her as “a little banty rooster.”

            Everyone was gleefully yukking it up when she came storming out of the restroom–having overheard it all–and yelled a bunch of imprecations at the gathering.

            It was pretty funny–and well deserved. This is what happens to assholes. If you don’t want this to happen to you, don’t be an asshole.

            Finally, I would point out to our <i<Bufonid that I asked you three times if you had seen the film, The Mission. I asked you, each time, in a particular context, because the themes of the film were relevant and I thought you’d find it interesting if you hadn’t seen it.

            You didn’t just not answer, any of the three times, you got positively nippy because I pointed out that you hadn’t answered the previous time.

            (Nor have you asked Q why he married his covidian wife, or Slugoon why he married his. It’s only ever the women who are required to bear responsibility for the ‘foibles’ of those they marry.)

            Have a think about your mind-boggling hypocrisy, Bufonid, when you think it’s an affront to be expected to divulge whether or not you’ve seen a film, yet you feel absolutely entitled to dissect other people’s personal relationships in the interests of furthering your unpleasant narratives. Get a fucking grip on reality, you devious, manipulative, hypocritical, entitled excuse for a human being.

            The reason Jarek likes to heap abuse on the three of us especially, and Paula as well, is because we have nailed his particular pathology.

            Once people see it, it’s just laughable. He operates like any other narcissist and misogynist: Abuse, gaslighting, strawmen arguments, ad hominem.

            Don’t forget the first rule of misogyny, ladies: Women are responsible for what men do. That’s the one that Jarek runs his life by. Why he thinks women owe him anything is beyond me, but probably has to do with a very lousy upbringing.

          • Anthea October 12, 2022 at 12:25 pm #

            @ MaryQueen:

            Most of the people I’ve know who think that others owe them anything, or must take responsbility for their actions, are people who are hopelesslly disfunctional and very much aware that if they can’t find someone to take care of them or manipulate someone into taking care of them, they’ll wind up living under a bridge–or at least eating bologna sandwiches and snack crackers, and wondering why they don’t have a clean shirt.

            Trying to compel others (usually women) to look after them is an existential issue for them. We can see that neither Jarek nor Soul Forensics has had any success in finding a much-needed keeper.

            It is a bitter thing to live in a world where free association is a normal standard–if you’re a person that no one will associate with, anyway.

            By the way, isn’t Soul Forensics the guy who goes to restaurants and sits there alone, heaping contempt on the nice family with young children sitting at the next table. (He particularly hates children.) Then he follows them out to the parking lot to despise them for their seating arrangements in the family car.

            Confidentially (or not-so-confidentially), pal, there is something really wrong with you.

            Then there was this other tard on here who piped up that if a child was crying, you should backhand them. (Presumably, if his dog cries to get out, or for food and water, he kicks it.)

            We’ve got about three guys on here who belong in mental institutions.

          • Anthea October 12, 2022 at 12:34 pm #

            We can be pretty sure that no one will associate with them. (Maybe some family members, and that probably grudgingly.) So they cling to the belief that women should HAVE to associate with them.

          • Jarek October 12, 2022 at 12:49 pm #

            Alba: If your rage, you’ve lost my argument or train of thought; your loss then being picked up by the other “ladies”. I agree with you that his behavior was despicable. And that he – by your description – is a pretty lost fellow overall.

            I simply asked why did you pick him. Then you hissed like a vampire presented with a crucifix, and fled.

            Ditto Anthea. She married an Ozarkean degenerate by her description. Why? Did she want someone to dominate, to be the man of the house over? Was he fine at first, only turning bad over the years. What does that say about her? Or is she lying about all of it? What does that say about her.

            Women hate responsibility above all things. Nothing is ever their fault according to them. Male enablers and as we call them in the Movement, “White Knights” (saviors) support them in this.

          • Jarek October 12, 2022 at 1:31 pm #

            Alba: I have not yet watched The Mission! Is it on Netflix? If so, I’ll watch it.

            I’ve been reading a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita and was struck by this and thought of your husband.

            “Krishna uses an interesting word, ashraddadhanah, which mean not having faith and not giving faith. The second meaning refers to those who in their hearts know the truth but who refuse to acknowledge and act upon it. This is a way of life for many people. But whichever it is – not having faith or refusing to act upon it (note the implication that faith and action are inseparable) – the result is failure to attain union with God and a return to earthly incarnation, ‘reborn in the realm of death and samsara’.

            Shame on you Alba. I never said you were responsible for what he did. You’re responsible for being with him and marrying him in the first place.

            How did you get it so wrong? Your ego and passionate desire to deflect the penetration of my question.

    ‘Sorry, facts nowhere in evidence. You’re doing nothing but mouthing US MSM talking points here. Lies all. Until Russia and or China are mounting offensives in Mexico and/or Canada (which they might well have to before all this is over), the US is in the wrong. Period, end of argument.’ Dis

    Pure bullshit, and misattribution. I did not say the US was in the right, and I don’t follow the MSM, or if I do it’s Fox news but I don’t follow it thoughtlessly.

    What kind of evidence do you want, a clear photo of Putin shooting Nemtsov right outside the Kremlin? The list of political opponents and journalists murdered by Putin over about twenty years is a long one. Right, Putin is going to hold the smoking gun, the bloody blade, or the container of novichok for all to see.

    Yeah, it was some street thug carrying polonium-10 who got Litvinenko. Journalist Anna Politkovskaya accused Putin of turning Russia into a police state and was shot dead in her elevator.

    And the list goes on.

    Of course there is no evidence, how in hell could you expect that there would be? Do some research and find out what the world has been thinking over the years about all these killings in Russia.

    Is that evidence? No, technically it’s not, but one has to think for himself and ask why all these critics of Putin are dying these gruesome deaths.

    I mean Jesus %^^#@*&^#$, get real!

    • MaryQueen October 11, 2022 at 7:37 pm #

      No evidence Putin killed them.

      LOL, and you’re still railing.

      Journalists world-wide are targeted now and have been for decades.

      But Russia has cornered the market on killing journalists.

      What a dipshit you are.

  93. Paula D October 11, 2022 at 8:25 pm #

    One thing about Tucson, he never forgets a propaganda point, no matter how old or how discredited.

    My friend in Russia got tired of listening to that bullshit, so he wrote this:

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

      I am sorry, Paula D, but if you have a country that has as much censorship as the Russian information space does, well, I am not surprised that Russians think as they do. If Ukrainian relatives tell their Russian counterparts what is happening, Russians are unwilling to believe them, because it runs contrary to the Russian media claims. The fact that Russian milbloggers have been able to criticise Putin recently is an indication–not of freedom of news sources, but a weakening of Putin’s grip–for how long? Who can say–if things improve for Russia in Ukraine, then Putin will reestablish the smooth space of information that he has developed leading up to the Ukrainian Invasion.

        Oh, come on. You could swap out the word Russia and replace with US MSM or Covidian or anti-Trumper and the same statement would apply. RT is blocked in Europe, for example. How are its citizens supposed to form a balanced view?

        You’ve also cited an example of where freedom of speech is allowed there but then twisted it to say it’s because Putin is losing power. You’ve fallen into the same echo chamber as those you are accusing.

      The last time this question or assertion came up I was tired , had other things to do , or something , I can’t remember.

      I hoped it would come up again , and trusted that it would.

      The first very obvious thing that springs to mind regarding this question or assertion is that most people,

      Including old bachelor’s, including old maids , including even orphans ,

      Are not free agents . They have families , and that is a responsibility or an entailment that far exceeds in importance any abstract ideology , any abstract like or dislike.

      So ubiquitous is this that I would think it would immediately jump to mind , or very soon ,

      But in any case before one asked such a bizarre question or made such an impractically grandiose assertion.

      There’s that.

      And then there is the possibility that I can do more harm , or more good , depending on how you see it , where I am , than I could do as a 56 year old newbie soldier far away.

      Because to admit the fact that it is they who are threatening nuclear war every five minutes clearly indicates not strength , but weakness , doubt , not certitude , fear , not confidence.

But like if the planet is going to blow up then it is time to get everything lol. And advertisers are getting aggressive. I’m receiving notices that time is running out and once stuff is out of stock its over. So im kinda thinking that maybe they are ramping up the nuclear war hysterics to get people to buy stuff and spend like they normally wouldn’t. Enjoy until your incinerated!

        Biden’s now backing down from his nuclear war comments. Evidently his handlers told him to zip it. That’s what happens when you put a doddering geriatric old fool in charge. They tend to go off script from time to time.

        • cowbell81 October 12, 2022 at 11:09 am #

      Last summer, a local nurse I met at the pool and I were talking about the jabs and she said she retired because she could not in good conscience inject teens, and kids, and that she was disgusted that the kids came in thinking it was ‘cool’ to get a jab, and otherwise had no real clear idea why it was being done or of course any of the risks. They did it because it’s what the other kids were doing…

    “American Conquest by Subversion: Victoria Nuland’s Admits Washington Has Spent $5 Billion to “Subvert Ukraine”

    “After three visits to Ukraine in five weeks, Victoria Nuland explains that in the past two decades, the United States has spent five Billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) to subvert Ukraine, and assures her listeners that there are prominent businessmen and government officials who support the US project to tear Ukraine away from its historic relationship with Russia and into the US sphere of interest (via “Europe”).

            How the hell do you run an entire impeachment, lasting months, and never once talk about where the weapons were going or the 3014 coup or how Biden was the Big Guy in both the coup and the extortion of Ukraine to keep his son on the board of a corrupt corporation stealing gas from UKR citizens?

            How does that never come up?

            Oh you can do better than that, Paula. Are they Irish? Nigerian immigrants? Fanatical Catholics? Chinese? Or perhaps the same group that instituted the coup that overthrew the Czar in the so called Russian Revolution? They’ve done the same many times since with their color revolutions funded by “Soros” – the public face of the Rothschilds.

      Hi MaryQueen,
      You haven’t actually watched or listened to the video you sent me.

      “Victoria Nuland explains that in the past two decades, the United States has spent five Billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) to subvert Ukraine, and assures her listeners that there are prominent businessmen and government officials who support the US project to tear Ukraine away from its historic relationship with Russia and into the US sphere of interest (via “Europe”).”

      Go to 7.45 for the statement you assert along wth the person who posted this speech that Nuland admits that the US “subverts Ukraine.”

      She has set the context by explaining her aversion to the brutal crackdown by Ukrainian authorities (which we know was to appease the Russians) on the Maiden Square protestors looking for democracy, freedom, etc…. She states that the US has given $5 billion to assist Ukraine in achieving the goal of a “secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine.” This is Nuland admitting to “subversion” in your mind?

      Feel free to post actual evidence of a claim you make, but goodness me, make certain that the evidence you post actually says what you think it says. This is a classic example of propaganda and distortion.
      HE

      • MaryQueen October 13, 2022 at 8:04 pm #

        Wow! You’ve outdone yourself in displays of Media Matters brainwashing. Do you think they will use the vocabulary that admits what they are doing?

        • hustled enough October 14, 2022 at 12:56 am #

          MaryQueen,
          It is usually helpful that if you advise someone to “read between the lines” you might want to practice what you preach. Why believe someone who is actively misrepresenting what Nuland is saying? What makes your propagandist believable to you? You don’t say and you offer ZERO evidence. I find him a propagandist and unbelievable because he cannot make the argument or provide evidence to support his claim. And you cannot support your claim either! So, what does that say about you? HE

    I find this comical:

    President Joe Biden voiced his fury with Saudi Arabia over OPEC+ oil production cuts Tuesday, accusing the kingdom of allying itself with Russia and vowing to engage with US lawmakers clamoring to punish Riyadh.

    “There’s going to be some consequences for what they’ve done, with Russia,” Biden said in an interview with CNN.

    The president would only say he was “in the process” of evaluating consequences for the kingdom, and indicated they were not likely before lawmakers returned from a recess scheduled to last into November.

    “I’m not going to get into what I’d consider and what I have in mind, but there will be consequences,” he said.

    Ohhhh boy, MBS must be shaking in his robe after hearing these threats from Biden! ROFLMFAO…….Is Biden going to enact sanctions against SA? That would be rich, as if the Saudis care. Is Biden going to cut off all Saudi oil imports to the US? Well, that would really be do a number to the US economy, could be that final proverbial nail. Is Biden going to send an expeditionary force to SA to invade and bomb Riyadh? Wouldn’t take this off the table given our military’s propensity to get itself into quagmires. I guess we’ll find out after the midterms!

    Continuation of the grab her by the pussy comments.

    Let me get this straight you malign Trump for a comment and allegations while IGNORING the steady stream of videos showing Biden pawing at little girls and sniffing their hair.
    There is literally one in which the little girl throws an elbow to get him off her with a really annoyed look on her face.
    Ignoring female special agents complaining about lil Joey disrobing and swimming naked in front of them knowing they are stuck watching him.

    • Paula D October 12, 2022 at 11:36 am #

      The Trump comment is another example of the power of the media to shape minds and opinions.

      To me it is obvious that what Trump was bragging about was not grabbing pussies, he was bragging about his wealth and power, pointing out that some women will put up with indignities if a man has power. Duh.

      And then Biden proves Trump’s point, over and over again, on camera, with women and with children.

      But the media simply denies it happens. “He’s just friendly” they tell the shitlibs.

        There is nothing women find as attractive as power, except perhaps, wealth. In any case, the two often go together.

        Of course you, Paula, are an exception to this. You’re attracted by correct ideology and Russian Communist uniforms.

    Another unexplained Covid clot shot death?

    The body of a fully clothed man was pulled from a pond in New York City’s Central Park – just weeks after a decomposing corpse was found in a nearby lake.

    Police recovered the clothed body floating facedown in Turtle Pond on Monday evening. The deceased person was in his 20s. No criminal activity has been suspected in the death.

    The medical examiner’s office is investigating how the man died.

    I learn things reading blog comments. I wasn’t aware how misogynistic many of you people are. Almost all of my experience with males complaining about women is that such complaints are mostly harmless and not ill-intentioned. But it seems that true misogynists are posting here. Frankly I’m tired and surprised by the vicious, insulting and demeaning comments about some of the females.

    Actually this is so ironic because the comments are from those who obviously are inexperienced with women. I know this because these posters state straight out incorrect pseudo-facts. Look, I’m not perfect. I’ve had to expend an incredible amount of effort learning about unhealthy attitudes and behaviors because I came from a dysfunctional family. I just had the drive to be reasonably emotionally
    healthy. I’m lucky.

      Did you read the story I posted about the guy who found out that two of his three kids weren’t his? They all took dna tests. After dinner they sat Mom down for an intervention. A look of terror came over her, she shrieked and ran into the bedroom and locked the door.

      She sent the kids away, and admitted to her husband that she had made “a mistake”. She grabbed his cheeks (now this is chutzpah, eh?) and told him that he was her one and only.

      Four years of unprotected sex with her neighbor and two kids is a mistake? Sounds like she was giving all of her best. Was she using protection with her husband?

        I have a better (true) story. Some poor schlub was sued for child support by his wife for a kid <who didn't exist. His wages were cremated, and he was about to lose his job.

        Thankfully for him, he had the money to hire a hard-working, courageous lawyer who combed through all means of legal recourse (unavailable, as info, to the average Joe), and the matter was swiftly resolved, with profuse official apologies, from human resources admins.

      I’ll admit to being a woman hater when I was a child. The males in the households were at work during the week, And on weekends some were off doing guy things like hunting or fishing. If you were a five year old boy looking to have some fun, it was almost *always* adult females that would at some point interrupt your game and spoil all your fun. If what you’d done was bad enough, you might find your ass or legs burning a bit from a switch from an old witch being applied to it.

      Like this. We’re six or seven kids ages 4 to 6 years old playing in a big sandbox outside in the yard. A fight gets started somehow, one kid knocks over another kid’s sand building. The fight escalates until one kid throws sand in another kid’s eyes. The temporarily blinded child is now howling and heading indoors for help. Mom is home, not working in an office somewhere. Mom is in a hot kitchen preparing lunch, is feeding a spitting and drooling toddler sitting in a high chair, and she’s in a foul mood.

      Incoming!

      Wwwwaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! So and so threw sand in my eyes! And the kid is tracking sand into the house while screaming. Mamma shuts down the stove and washes the kid’s eyes out. On the way to the sand box, now she’s really pissed. Two of her kids are out there in the sand pile playing with the neighbors kids. One of her two male offspring has thrown sand, and she knows already they’ll both deny doing it.

      On the way to the sand pile, mamma cuts a big switch off a conveniently located bush, and has it ready. Her two boyz get a whoopin’ and she don’t care which one ‘ah done it. The neighbor kids go back home right away when they see the switch ‘a twitching. They don’t want to see what’s about to happen. They do know they are safe. Whuppin’s only come from your own parents, not somebody else’s. When you did something truly awful, your dad would get involved in disciplining you – and that was even worse.

      What I was needing then was leather pants. After I got my first pair of lederhosen shorts, I was protected from anything being applied to my backside, including paddles and switches. But my legs were still unprotected.

      In my view, what’s going on right now with the situation in Ukraine is similar to a child’s sandbox issues. We’ll fight each other, throw sand in each other’s eyes, cry and whine etc. Then after we pray for a solution, it arrives. Big Mamma arrives on the scene, and she’s pissed as hell, and she’s got a big switch in her hand. And she’s not in a mood to hear about how you didn’t do anything.

      • Jarek October 12, 2022 at 1:54 pm #

          Ah, so my story turns you on Jarek?

          How was your time spent before they sent you to school? Were you already used to the idea of being confined indoors all the time or locked inside a fenced enclosure?

          A bunch of my time as a preschooler – along with summer vacations from school later – was spent outside running around with what was basically a bunch of feral kids. We made our own rules and had our own fights. Some of the things we did got us hurt, Some of the things we did damaged property. We didn’t fear disapproval, but we did fear a whuppin’.

          You ever get one? I don’t think you have. You might have been raised by leftist liberal feminists or something such. They use other methods of torture. If a whuppin’ still hurts almost a week later, you’ll not be turned on by any of those.

            This is two times–very close together in this thread–that he has flatly asserted a barefaced lie–that was immediately provable as such.

            Usually he takes the precaution of lying about what someone said a couple of months ago. Once he even copied and pasted someone’s comment, thus proving they had NOT said what he said they said.

            I don’t feel qualified to offer a diagnosis here, but I think we can confidently state that he should see a qualified professional to figure out what’s wrong with him.

            Maybe he’s basically just a harmless retard, like Tom Clark, and just needs some meds.

    I was curious whether the Russians were continuing their attack on Kiev/Ukraine for the third day. I did a search and learned that “Zelensky took to social media to refute reports suggesting he had fled the country and declared while strolling down a city street: “I’m still here.” Also, “Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to Zelensky, said the Russians were still trying to move a large number of troops and equipment into the city and that fighting was taking place in outlying areas.” (I would think the Russians would wait till they were done shelling before moving troops into the city.)

    In the past I have ordered garden seeds from a Ukrainian company. It is located in a suburb of Kiev. Their website has remained up until today, but now it’s down. When I go there it displays the message: “We’ll be back soon. We are updating our shop.”

    This past week Nobel prizes were announced. That got me thinking about who I would choose for a Nobel. When I was a schoolkid in the middle ages, we wrote using pens and inkwells. I am a lefty, but not too many were then, and all inkwells were situated on the right side of every desk. In order to write I had to reach across my desk to dip my pen into the inkwell. Invariably I would blotch my writings; all my paper would have ink stains, too. My teachers would yell at me for being a sloppy writer.

    Anyway, the ball point pen came along and we stopped using inkwells. Therefore, I nominate the ball point pen’s inventor for a Nobel prize.

        My father was a lefty, too, and they forced him to write righty. In the old days, being a lefty was considered bad.

        • cowbell81 October 12, 2022 at 3:42 pm #

          Being “lefty” is still considered bad (from a political standpoint).

          Seriously though, have there been studies done on political orientation based on whether one is left-handed or right-handed? This would be interesting to see. I know there is a correlation with creativity and artistic ability.

        • MaryQueen October 12, 2022 at 3:45 pm #

          My older sister was right on that cusp when they stopped trying to force the lefties to be righties. I think she really rebelled so they left her alone. Turned out, she’s an amazing artist, without any lessons she was drawing incredible stuff by age 8 or so.

            My brother Armand threw a ball left handed but did everything else righty (write, hold a fork, kick a ball). Could this have made him a recluse?

            Peter holds his fork with either right or left hands and seems to do so equally well. I want to catch him off guard and ask him to toss me something just to see what hand he uses.

          @ beantownbill:

          Lefties THINK different from the rest of us, though I’ve never been able to put my finger on exactly how.

          One of my daughters is a leftie. That girl can do anything: replace the clutch in the Ford, sew a quilt, re-plumb a house, prepare “the feast of the seven fishes” for Christmas Eve dinner, take over the job of Director of Religious Education, maintain a spreadsheet, and milk goats. (I left out quite a lot.)

          Interestingly, she struggled with reading and language arts when she was a child–but was a math whiz.

          I always told her that this was because this is her first incarnation in Western society, and she has never spoken a Western language before.

        • Anthea October 12, 2022 at 8:48 pm #

          @ beantownbill:

          I too come from a disfunctional family. The briefest way to explain this was that both my parents were (for all practical purposes) orphans from an early age–and, in my mother’s case, from a very early age. So they were dealing with a lot of trauma and abandonment issues, plus neither of them had ever had parenthood modeled for them, so they had very little idea how to go about it. I think it was actually inconceivable to them that children required warmth, attention, and affection, since they had never experienced this. What they HAD experienced was a lot of coldness and verbal abuse. To the best of my recollection, they were incapable even of friendship.

          And, people being people, where you have someone with emotional problems, you will almost always find a relative or two who are playing them like a fiddle and bringing out the worst in them.

          I spent a lot of years understanding all this as getting past it–which was difficult because the problems were so subtle.

          • beantownbill. October 12, 2022 at 11:00 pm #

            I can sympathize. My grandmother basically told my father he was less than. My mother never got over the Great Depression. Every older adult (except for one) I know has had emotional issues with families. I think it’s exceptionally difficult to raise a well-adjusted child. But it can be done.

    Good news, CFN’rs

    Medical science has recenty spliced human brain tissue into the brain of a rat.

    https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2022/10/12/human-nerve-cells-rat-brains/1711665594571/

    This has VERY important ramifications in the quest to conquer AIDS. As you recall, one barrier to a successful study and treatment is that scientists could not find rats that would submit, or commit anal intercourse. Now, however, rats can overcome their nature and save humanity from the scourge of AIDS..

    But wait a minute there, not so fast, I thought that there was no inflation going on? Now I’m perplexed.

    – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

    President Joe Biden is committed to decreasing consumer prices before the release of September’s inflation numbers, according to the White House.

    The “No. 1 focus” of Biden’s economic plan is “lowering costs for the American people, making sure that we are tackling inflation,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.

    “We understand we have more work to do,” she said aboard Air Force One. “We get that the American people are feeling that pinch.”

    At the same time, Jean-Pierre reminded the traveling press corps, “We’ve also seen some progress, including regarding employment and gas prices, at least last summer.” The nationwide average cost per gallon has increased in recent weeks.

    “We’re giving families a little bit more breathing room,” she said. “The Inflation Reduction Act is going to bring down everyday costs … And it’s really a stark difference from what you’re seeing from Republicans, from MAGA Republicans, congressional Republicans in particular.”

  109. Q. Shtik October 12, 2022 at 3:44 pm #

    Cataract Surgery Update:

    Yesterday morning I underwent Cataract surgery on my left eye. As often as people tell you “it’s no big deal” I defy you to contemplate for days in advance of your approaching surgery date not feeling anxious about someone cutting into your eyeball and replacing your lens. It cannot be done. You WILL be anxious.

    There’s all kinds of preliminary shit that goes on before the doctor even sees you. Nurses hook you up to a monitor with wires running to either side of your chest and wires to the lower shin area of each leg. A sleeve is slid up onto a bicep much the same as a blood pressure taking device. They turn it on and it begins to inflate and squeeze… Oh Boy does it ever squeeze… and then it very slowly… tick… tick… tick… begins to deflate… Whew, thank God that’s over. But several minutes later it does it all again, all automatically. And it keeps doing this throughout the entire procedure.

    And then a nurse begins trying to find a vein that will puff up enough to insert a needle which will be a port for the anesthesiologist to run some dope into you which does not put you “out” but supposedly leaves you awake but with a “don’t give a shit” attitude. You have to remain awake or your eyes would roll back in your head and they couldn’t operate on them. My needle nurse effed up and failed to make a good needle insertion so a second nurse came in and chose a different spot on my arm near where my watch band resides. This needle hurt quite a bit but at least she made a good connection.

    BTW, if I never mentioned it before, in the summer of 1949 when I was 8 and a half years old I caught polio and wound up in a very specialized hospital for infectious diseases and was there for a month. Every day I was jabbed 6 times (each thigh, each buttock, each arm) so that when a nurse entered my room for the next jab I began to cry. Somehow I overcame polio (and was somewhat of a local hero in my neighborhood and school for having done so) and from then on until I went into the Air Force I was able to avoid all needles. But then I had to grow up and be a big boy. Even so, whenever I have to endure a needle I never look at the hypodermic, not even dentistry Novocaine needles and I DEFINITELY do not watch the insertion.

    So anyway, where was I? During these prelims someone was forever coming to me and asking me to open my eyes wide (actually, only my left eye) for them to administer more eye drops. The drops must have been huge and they ran annoyingly down my cheek. No one bothered to dab up the excess. My ear with its hearing aid had to be covered to avoid an eyedrop/hearing aid short out.

    At some point the anesthesia guy began to run in the stuff that was supposed to make me not give a shit about anything but I don’t think I ever achieved that blissful state. My bed was rolled to the surgery area and I saw none of this since I was instructed to keep my eyes gently shut.

    The surgery itself took about 15 minutes during which I would occasionally realize that I was tensing my leg muscles or squeezing the bed sheets with my fingers and I’d have to remind myself to “fucking relax already”! When the top sheet was first put over me I realized it had come out of a warmer so the warm sheet felt really great.

    I was raised up slowly from my horizontal reclined position, was given the bag containing my jacket, wallet, watch and all other possessions and walked out the exit door to my wife who had to wait in her car… and thence to home. Forgot to mention, I had to wear a covid mask through the entire procedure.

    This morning I went back to the main office (not where the surgery was done) for a “post-op exam” by another doctor, not my actual surgeon. Various things were checked and I was declared to be perfectly normal and OK for the first day following surgery. Slight swelling and inflammation of the eyeball. All I have to do now is administer 178 more drops over the next 30 days, wear a clear plastic guard over my eye when in bed for the next week and go to another post-op visit in early Nov.

    I just now raised my eyes to look at the TV and noticed a definite improvement in my left eye’s vision. The literature says it can take some days before being fully effective.

    • cowbell81 October 12, 2022 at 3:49 pm #

      Sounds good, glad you made it through that procedure okay! Now you will be able to find those grammar corrections much easier! lol

    • beantownbill. October 12, 2022 at 4:05 pm #

      Q, I’m glad you came out of it with better vision. I knew you had polio, but I didn’t realize all the needle stuff. I guess I can’t blame you for hating needles.

      I had a second cataract surgery for my other eye. After that one, my all-around vision improvement was unbelievable. I wore glasses and/or contacts since I was 8 years old. I think I had 20/200 vision. Now I see perfectly fine without any visual aids. Technology can be great when used for good purposes. With my new hip, I am now a bionic man.

      I had cataract surgery on my right eye several years ago. My surgery took about an hour. This was because I have those pupils that won’t dilate. (I forget the name of this condition.) This makes the surgery more difficult and time-consuming.

      They did give me some great drugs. For most of the surgery, I was reliving pleasant scenes from the past. The drugs did start to wear off towards the end.

      For weeks after the surgery, I had to wear those very dark glasses even to look a computer screen, and it was about a year before I was not blinded by sunlight.

      Now I need the other eye done, and I’m wondering if I couldn’t get along just fine wearing an eye patch instead.

          What is crime ?

          I worked in a roof truss factory ten years for $ 7. 50 an hour , no telling how many roofs I put over people’s heads.

          Went home exhausted every day , slept through the weekends , and that was when I was 20 , when the human body is never stronger.

          Rode around on bald tires , bad brakes , expired tags.

          Had no end of trouble.

          So I opted out.

          The hourly rate in my next job was 200 dollars an hour ,

          But after overhead costs , it worked out to about 12 dollars an hour —

          — which many of the Ivory Tower parasites on CFN would think was a low wage !

          If your God-like Hero, St Alex Jones, was serious about spreading the word on water pollution, he might have chosen to talk about the subject, but no…a grifter who doesn’t get any attention goes broke, so he threw out an irresistible bait to his soft-headed followers, complete with a rant that looked like he was about to have a stroke on TV.

          Of course, when being questioned at his divorce hearing, he claimed it was ‘all an act, a character’. I’d have said caricature, myself.

          • Redneck Liberal October 13, 2022 at 10:11 am #

            Yes, back in my rabbit-hole days, beer, I listened to this grifter. It was early days of Prison Planet and Jones weighted only about 80 kilos and had hair. He was already a successful grifter, but he hadn’t quite landed on the caricature figure he’s developed since…the one that’s sending him stony broke.

          • benr October 14, 2022 at 10:03 am #

            So, you contend to have listened to the man once twenty years ago…Check.

            Still does not excuse your insistence on spewing a massaged partial talking point as fact.
            There was far more to the statement than he was acting, and his show is not who he is.
            If you look around, you could hear the rest of the statement about him doing “poor” imitations of (my words) Cobra commander and Optimus prime.
            He was doing voices to make points on his show but did not believe he was either of those characters and they were just acts.

All sorts of respiratory ailments. She says the cause is the covid lockdowns and children’s immune systems are depressed because they have not been exposed to this stuff for 2 1/2 years. Perhaps they’re immune systems are depressed for another reason?

    This is a pretty damning article but not for Trump.
    The last sentence really stands out for anyone even remotely understanding the law as it relates to search warrants and the execution of them.

    After The Washington Post published a new bombshell on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents, legal experts said it would be more likely that the Department of Justice would indict Donald Trump.

    “A Trump employee has told federal agents about moving boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago at the specific direction of the former president, according to people familiar with the investigation, who say the witness account — combined with security-camera footage — offers key evidence of Donald Trump’s behavior as investigators sought the return of classified material,” the newspaper reported. “The witness description and footage described to The Washington Post offer the most direct account to date of Trump’s actions and instructions leading up to the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of the Florida residence and private club, in which agents were looking for evidence ofpotential crimes including obstruction, destruction of government records or mishandling classified information.”

        “Probable Cause” is still required to get a search warrant issued. It’s simply the legal tool by which evidence IS gathered…or not as the case may be if it’s not there. What’s the gripe here, benr?

          • Redneck Liberal October 12, 2022 at 9:06 pm #

          That is not how the law works.
          They are fishing for a process crime because they have nothing else and that won’t stand up in court.
          They are just trying to keep Trump from running again period end of story and even that is illegal.
          It’s called intimidation and Trump is going to have a huge lawsuit against the DOJ.

      Some people are unable to grasp the Forth Amendment, although it spells it out pretty clearly.

      No fishing expeditions allowed.

      Amendment IV
      The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

        • benr October 13, 2022 at 8:41 am #

          You contend but you still either don’t care OR approve of methods that are illegal.
          IE they took things not specified in the search warrant from places not called out in the search warrant.
          In essence they broke the law and buggered up any chance they had of actually making a case that will stick in court. That is unless they give Trump the same kind of kangaroo court Alex Jones got where he is told he can’t speak out on his own defense.
          One where the judge literally says in their estimation, he is guilty and that the jury must come up with a number or punishment.

            thehill.com/homenews/campaign/564150-pennsylvania-countys-voting-machines-decertified-after-audit/

            A Pennsylvania county’s voting machines were decertified after they were subjected to an audit.

            In a letter to the Fulton County Board of Elections on Tuesday, acting Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Veronica Degraffenreid said the machines used during the November 2020 election were compromised as a result of the audit conducted by software company Wake TSI.

            Fulton County officials previously told Degraffenreid that they allowed Wake TSI to access certain components of their election system, including their “election database, results files, and Windows system logs,” the letter states.

            The county also allowed the company to use a “system imaging tool to take complete hard drive images of these computers” and “complete images of two USB thumb drives” used to transfer election results.

            Degraffenreid said the machines had been compromised as a result of the audit. She said neither the county, state officials, nor Dominion Voting Systems could “verify that the impacted components of Fulton County’s leased voting system are safe to use in future elections.”

            The Secretary further said the audit in question was taken in a manner that was “not transparent or bipartisan.”

            “I have no other choice but to decertify the use of Fulton County’s leased Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5A voting system last used in the November 2020 election,” Degraffenreid wrote.

            Voting Machine Maker ES&S Confirms They Sold Wireless Modems To 11 States…Website Claims “Zero” Voting Tabulators Were Internet Connected

            BREAKING – Voting Machine Maker ES&S confirmed on Tuesday they sold machines with wireless modems to 11 states…their website claims that “zero” of its voting tabulators were internet-connected.
            Just how many ES&S machines has wireless modems? 14,000. According to independent journalist Emerald Robinson, 14,000 ES&S voting machine had wireless modems which were then NOT connected to the internet to count votes correctly.

            oR…

            Pennsylvania’s Acting Secretary of State Robert Torres last month directed that, going forward, all voting machines purchased in the state must employ “a voter-verifiable paper ballot or paper record of votes cast.”

            This was great news. It will help ensure the accuracy of vote-counting in Pennsylvania and give voters more confidence in election results. It was long overdue.

            The two key words in the directive are “verifiable” and “paper,” neither of which apply to how the vast majority of Pennsylvanians have been voting since 2006.

            Currently, 83 percent of Pennsylvania voters use direct-recording electronic systems, or DREs — voting machines that produce no paper ballot for voters to verify before leaving their polling places and that therefore leave no paper trail to follow if election results are contested.

            DREs are computer systems. Have you ever had your computer crash? Have you ever heard of computer systems being hacked?

            The secretary’s directive comes on the heels of warnings from leaders of the U.S. intelligence community that Russia already is trying to influence our elections, as it did in 2016. It also is likely that Russia will again probe our voting systems. NBC has reported that intelligence officials believe Russia penetrated the websites or voter registration systems of seven states prior to the 2016 election.

            We must protect our democracy, which depends on public trust in the way we choose our leaders. All voters must be confident that their votes and only legitimate votes are counted.

            Voter-marked paper records help safeguard the accuracy of voting results in the event of a hack or software failure. They make it possible to conduct post-election audits and recounts to verify machine records. Paperless DRE results cannot be verified, which is why the Pennsylvania Department of State must never recertify DRE machines.

            Getting rid of DREs comports with the department’s stated goal: to guarantee “that the next generation of the commonwealth’s voting systems can conform to enhanced standards concerning resiliency, auditability and security.” But, while its directive set strict guidelines on the types of voting machines Pennsylvania must purchase, the state has provided no money to buy them. The Wolf administration’s budget, released just days before the directive was announced, allocates zero funding for new machines.

            This is a big problem for two reasons.

            First, until the state provides its share of the money needed to replace voting equipment, most Pennsylvania voters will continue to cast ballots on DREs that do not guarantee the “resiliency, auditability and security” of our election system.

            Second, many DREs are reaching the end of their lifespans, which makes them even more likely to produce inaccurate results or break down. Many precincts use machines running on outdated software and unsupported platforms, further exposing our elections results to error.

            New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice recently surveyed election officials across the country, including some from 35 counties in Pennsylvania, asking whether they had sufficient funds to replace their voting equipment. Only one county in Pennsylvania, Cumberland, said it had enough. As one director of elections put it: “State and federal funding are crucial factors for many counties across the commonwealth. Not every county is financially able to spend $2 million on new equipment.”

            Appropriating funds for new machines is unquestionably the most important task ahead to ensure the reliability of our election system. And time is of the essence as the Nov. 6 local, state and national elections approach.

            As one election official said, counties “need to get the ball rolling” on purchasing new equipment because they don’t want to make major changes to their voting systems just before an election. The window for action is closing fast.

            The General Assembly must act with urgency. It must include money in this year’s budget to help Pennsylvania counties replace their aging, unreliable and unverifiable voting equipment. If the state department’s directive is not funded, it means little.

            During the Cold War, President Ronald Reagan would often repeat a proverb that summed up his approach to dealing with Russia (ironically) and its promises: Trust but verify.

            To date, Pennsylvanians have had reason to trust that their votes are being counted accurately. But shouldn’t they also be able to verify it — especially at time when our voting systems are under unprecedented threat?

            BREAKING: Stanford Researcher Hacked Georgia Voting Machine, Confirms ‘Pump And Dump’ Vote Manipulation Possible
            “Someone can actually siphon off that data, modify the data, and then feed it right back into the system, or kind of do a pump and dump in real time”

            Inventor and Stanford researcher Jovan Pulitzer appeared in front of the Georgia Senate on Wednesday afternoon and revealed that he has gained access in real time to a voting machine and polling pad in Fulton County, Georgia through a WiFi connection as Georgia residents cast votes in the state’s U.S. Senate runoff election.
            “At this very moment at a polling location in the county, not only do we have access through the devices to the poll pad – the system, but we are in,” Pulitzer said. “And it’s not supposed to have WiFi, and that’s not supposed to be able to happen. So we’ve documented now it’s communicating two ways in real time, meaning it’s receiving data and sending data – should never happen, shouldn’t be WiFi, we’ve now documented it in real time.”

      Here’s something just written by Judge Napolitano and posted on Lew Rockwell’s site”

      “The whole purpose of confining the war-making power to Congress and the war-waging power to the president was to keep those powers separate. History is littered with examples of tyrants using the powers of the state to kill for no moral purpose. American presidents have given themselves the power to kill.

      Abraham Lincoln was the first head of state in world history to target civilians militarily and the first to kill civilians of his own country. Franklin D. Roosevelt slaughtered thousands of innocent helpless German civilians at the end of World War II by carpet-bombing German cities, rather than targeting the German military. Harry Truman slaughtered many thousands of Japanese civilians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All these murders were met with popular approval, as the targets had been demonized by the machinery of government — just like the “terrorists” Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden have killed.

      But demonization of human targets and popular approval of their murders cannot make an immoral act a moral one. An act is moral when it is consistent with the Natural Law. According to the Declaration of Independence, under the Natural Law, all persons are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, and among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The right to live is the foremost natural right and the great divine gift to all persons — not just Americans.

      No person may morally be targeted for death by government for any reason unless it is presently necessary to stop that person from actively killing another. In the cases cited above, the presidential killings were done to terrify political opponents, as the civilian targets were helpless. And the killers were lauded as heroes.”

      • benr October 13, 2022 at 10:00 am #

        That is untrue the British warred upon their own citizens but called them subjects.
        They also invented concentration camps.
        Mel Gibson starred in an excellent movie about the subject called Braveheart detailing William Wallace and his fight against the British and this was government attacking its own citizens in the late 13th century.

        • benr October 13, 2022 at 10:02 am #

          The rest of the post is true very true

        • Woodchuck October 13, 2022 at 12:32 pm #

          Maybe a better way for Napolitano to have phrased that would be Lincoln was perhaps the first *elected* head of state in history to attack the citizens of his own country. Kings with real and absolute power were known to take the lives of people crossing them. A rebellious baron causing trouble in the kingdom could find his little castle overrun and his life and his position taken away. A serf or a tradesman causing problems for a monarch would be treated in the same way. That kept the social order and the kingdom intact.

          A while back with the discussion about Queen Elizabeth II I got interested in the stories about Henry the 8th, Queen Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots, etc. Another big event involving dynastic disputes and bloodshed in Britain was the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie. In Britain, being a royal also might involve experiencing deadly conflicts with other powerful people in your own nation, including ex-spouses and relatives. In Britain the powerful and the royal got into personal dramas that ended with people tossed in dungeons and heads being chopped off. Not only did they war against their own citizens but they also warred against each other. It was a way of life.

          Elizabeth I was one of the greatest monarchs the British ever had. Sure, she did things and gave orders that resulted in people dying, but she grew up in that type of environment and understood how to play that game successfully. Britain won wars during her reign and her subjects were very pleased with her. But the story of her family background and all the deadly drama and intrigue going on with those people sounds strange today. When you have different royal families with different lineages fighting for control, and powerful people fighting over religious issues, “subjects” get caught in the middle, get killed, and have their property destroyed. The most ironic part of old European squabbles were the battles over religion. Jesus told us to love everyone, but because we couldn’t agree over just what Jesus meant and didn’t mean in other parts of the Bible, there was a time Western Christians would routinely hack each other to pieces on battlefields. “Christian” religious conflict also needlessly killed a lot of Brit subjects.

      If you read this blog on a desktop monitor and are using a mouse, you can scroll on past the endless bickering with ease. All this personal conflict posted here reminds me of a you tube video somebody posted on another blog I used to frequent. It was a response to situation just like the ongoing one here, it was a video of a couple of dogs on opposite sides of a wire gate in a fence. The dogs were furiously barking and snarling at each other, yet when the gate was opened and the dogs could make actual contact, they immediately quit barking and walked away. All the dogs wanted to do was make noise, they had no desire to actually fight with teeth once they were face to face with no fence in the way.

      I’d bet if we all met in a zoom meeting virtually face to face – that the childish name calling would stop. Letting one’s inner child out to misbehave is easy as well as fun to do when you are anonymous. When your opponent can see the whites of your eyes that changes things. Also, the fear of making a fool of oneself in public sets in. If someone’s idiocy is entertaining enough on Zoom, somebody else might record it and post it on you tube for countless others to enjoy. .

    I too become aggravated with atheists so I understand your frustration and even anger. But i also encourage patience and a bit of deference when it makes sense within your specific context and locality. Energy never dissipates and disappears but it does change form. So that sort of quelches their philosophy at its core but most of the time their smarter than you if you know what I mean so if you care enough you can just work your way around planting seeds for the harvest. Some will most certainly sprout. Would it that he were a magic bean from Jack and the Beanstalk lol!

    You’re a walking and talking nexus of complex electro-chemical fissions and reactions and energies. Yes the energies change in form. But the energies are always there nevertheless. Like the universe itself has cycles of inflation and deflation. Because energy has cycles like the rain cycle or what have you. Anyway, I just came to the well to get some water. I wish they weren’t so silly. That’s my take on how to handle. But just saying i feel you and can’t blame you for being sick of being sick and tired.

In my own personal employment situations I found that i most certainly prefer a male supervisor. Coworkers are a separate topic presumably and I may get to that at some later point. It is getting late and I hear sleep whispering to me. Cindy made me go home to change twice. One time because my skirt was too short and one time because supposedly midriff was exposed. It was a big drive for me back and forth and yada yada. And then when I was temping Lisa had the nerve to say, look this job involves spreadsheets and numbers are you sure you’re ready for this. And Katie and Gina were talking about me because I probably did imbibe a little to much at a happy hour and there were two handsome men talking to me and I was laughing really loud and just having fun in the moment and didn’t do anything wrong. But I know they started rumors. Anyway. It’s sorta all silly to me but there you go. Gnite

    It’s just meta data why are you worried?
    Fourth amendment what fourth amendment apparently, we are all felons on a waiver.

    I guess they better find another water source for that data center in Ogden Utah them servers are going to be working overtime holding all that data.

    No wonder they hate Alex Jones so much he exposed their plans twenty years ago.
    How long before he gets suicided?

      I guess in the end of it all i’m not too concerned. For a while every morning when I would wake up I would flip off my phone lol and say bite me spook or eff you. I know that I am monitored pretty much everywhere given what the government has been doing since the Patriot Act. I do worry about Alex but I think they won’t do something like that since everyone would know it was a hit by the spooks. If they would do something like that it would probably be part of a massive crackdown or genocide, which I don’t put past them at all either. It’s good to see oann still putting out content as they have been a victim of the mass censorship/cancellations

        Jeepers…that was possibly the most confused thing I’ve read from you.

        ONANist News is not a ‘victim’ of anything, either.

        • benr October 14, 2022 at 10:13 am #

          De-platformed for reporting the news and you falsely contend they are not victims?
          Is there a term below village idiot in terms of actual stupidity?

          Cable providers are telling them No and won’t carry their content not because they are lying or selling content that is objectionable unless of course the truth is now objectionable.

          That is the essence of victimization on a business platform.

    It pains me to read the stories of the left handed commenters.

    Apparently they are unaware of their membership in a victim’s group.

    You are not a klutz

    You are not goofy-footed or wrong (not right)

    You are victims of the very real

      Absolutely a good question. I need my payout for all the harms that have been inflicted upon me. It would help me to destress and maybe I could even go on vacation lol!

    I want to give a shout out to JHK for sticking with Durham and his prosecution – for the most part. I will admit being frustrated and cynical about Durham’s investigation after seemingly nothing coming of it but trials of small fry (and then an acquittal of one small fry). However, today, I have a very different take, particularly in reading about everything that’s coming out in the Dachenko trial. I am beginning to believe that Durham himself recognizes that the swamp/FBI/FISA courts/Intel community is so irredeemably corrupt at this point that he cannot win a case against a Democrat – no matter how strong the evidence is – in DC. There is NO jury in DC that will convict a Democrat of political corruption at this point. And, there is certainly NO jury that will convict a high-profile Democrat. It doesn’t matter how straightforward the law-breaking or how much evidence there is.

    Given that reality, and that he is not going to be able to move a trial to another jurisdiction, the most/best thing he can do is expose – through trials of “small fry” – exactly what all of the vast, venal cabal did to launch a coup against a democratically elected president. He can show exactly how much lying, and now attempted (and I’m sure actual) bribery of witnesses went on. How far gone the FBI and DOJ actually is. His exposure of all of this is doing the country a great good service. So, while I would like to see him bring charges against the lawless heads of this conspiracy; I get now what he might be doing.

      Hmmm that is a really interesting perspective. So basically you’re saying that John Durham is some sort of prosecutorial wikileaks operation?

      • rundmc October 13, 2022 at 11:09 pm #

        I’m saying it’s the only thing politically possible for him to do. I don’t think that’s how he started out, but it’s how he’s ending.

    You gotta love Alex Jones, humble human that he is. Fined 900 million plus but worth “only” 270 million. Poor Baby! The hell w/ democracy, Amerika! Shoot the fucking bastard and let’s all toddle back to the 13th century…together!

      • Night Owl October 13, 2022 at 5:44 pm #

        His post would first need to make logical sense in order to qualify as good bait.

        What does democracy have to do with a corrupt court sentencing a man to pay lots of dough for expressing an opinion?

        How does one even respond to the question?

      Jones won’t pay a dime; this award will be appealed in a process that will take years, then dismissed as an abrogation of his first amendment rights.

    • Paula D October 13, 2022 at 7:38 pm #

      So a kangaroo court with a biased judge that doesn’t follow the basic rules of law established by the English common law or the Bill of Rights, including rules of procedure and evidence AND the most basic of all rights, the right to defend yourself….
      is A-OK for the spiteful “liberals” in the US, who think that using the “justice system” to attack dissidents is acceptable AND that actually following proper courtroom procedure is unnecessary, as long as they can gloat at the results.

      This explains their ghoulish glee at the political prisoners locked up for almost two years in solitary confinement without a trial, their slobbering howls as the hounds hunt Trump and their shameless celebration of bankrupting a man for the crime of telling the truth to the powerless.

      I find them disgusting.

      • MaryQueen October 13, 2022 at 7:44 pm #

        Right on, Paula. I do as well.

      • Redneck Liberal October 13, 2022 at 8:18 pm #

        FFS.

        It was a civil case, and the fuckwit was summarily judged because he failed to put up any kind of defence. This IS standard English Common Law, ‘doofus’.

        The criminal wannabes in the Fed jails awaiting trial for J6 events are not “political prisoners” (which is the next feeble argument you’ll try to assert, no doubt).

        • Paula D October 13, 2022 at 8:42 pm #

          You think that people in civil court don’t get to defend themselves?

          Doofus.

          • Redneck Liberal October 13, 2022 at 9:12 pm #

            They do, but they need to do so at the TRIAL – in all cases, Jones didn’t engage and he was judged summarily.

            That’s what you get when you have nothing with which to defend yourself, I guess.

          • Night Owl October 14, 2022 at 7:05 am #

            The judge put AJ in a catch-22: if he defended himself she said she was going to hold him in contempt.

            He was essentially not allowed to say he was innocent.

            The trial was unintentionally hilarious and will go down as the greatest show trial in US history.

    • Redneck Liberal October 13, 2022 at 8:22 pm #

      Poor Ally Jones… he only has $270 million…

      Of course, aside from that, he’s a stalwart for the “working ‘Murican” and bountiful source of all the snake-oil you can swallow. I’m guessing wee ben will be utterly RIPPED by now after taking his “Ground Gorilla Bone Supplement” and would probably move to PA just so he can vote for Dr. Oz.

    I see the Washington Commanders hung on to eke out a win over the Bears tonight. I’m still a little annoyed that Washington caved on the team’s name change from the Redskins to, initially, Football Team, and then to Commanders.

    Redskins was deemed to be offensive to American Indians. I wonder about this. Do you (commenters) believe the average American Indian was offended by the team name the Washington “Redskins”?

    • KesaAnna October 14, 2022 at 12:03 am #

      Redskins reminds me of foreskins , and not just me , because that’s what Washington haters typically called them.

      So I could see a name change.

      But why not Washington Native Americans?

      Or Washington Indigenous People’s?

      Who lived in that swamp?

      Maybe Washington Powhatanians ?

      All of those are a lot of letters , though ,

      As if Type is still laid out one metal character after another.

      The same year I came to the United States , was the same year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the NFL .

      Colors of orange , red , and white.

      Great ! And the colors seem to fit Florida, too.

      And the Buccaneer with the knife in his mouth struck me as a really great logo.

      Then for the next 20 years the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the lousiest record in the NFL .

      But I didn’t care , because they were the prettiest.

      Then they start winning finally —–

      And the orange gets replaced with the shittiest crayon in the crayon box.

      And is there black in there ?

      Sure , great color for the Florida sun !

      And that pirate flag looks like Halloween meets Japanese anime.

      Folks like change ?

      Divorce you mean.

      Then divorce you get then !

      Fuck the NFL altogether, too.

      Getting back to offensive terms ;

      Isn’t a buccaneer or pirate a criminal ?

      Why the fuck are you naming a team after criminals ?

      Isn’t that a bad example for the kiddies ?
