A legal immigrant tells the truth about liberal crocodile tear compassion:
Not long after I came to America I was exposed to the narrative that the Democrat Party was the party of the little guy and the only party with genuine care and compassion for the average American. Fortunately because I grew up under a dictatorship I could not be easily fooled by socioeconomic shackles masquerading as compassionate public policy. The truth is there is no compassion like Democrat compassion, it is the kind of compassion that lets people shoot illicit drugs into their body with the government's assistance. It is a kind of compassion that sees assisted suicide as a moral virtue. Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that lets you rob the innocent in hardworking businesses in your neighborhood and walk out with impunity with no fear of prosecution.
Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that tells vulnerable women it is their right to abort and sacrifice their unborn children on the perverted altar of female empowerment and convenience. Democrat compassion is the kind of compassion that tells children they were born in the wrong body and encourages and subsidizes their mutilation. Democrat compassion is the kind of compassion that lets boys unfairly compete against girls taking their records, their opportunities, and their scholarships and invade their private spaces turning back Decades of hard-fought gains... and progress Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that allows homeless people to defecate on sidewalks and sleep in tense in public parks while watching them as they abuse drugs and suffer through mental illness...
From the party angle, yes, it’s predatory and inverted.
From the constituent angle, most cannot see the bigger picture because the Democrat party preys on their emotions. This is yet another reason why politics is mind control: it blinds many.
TV, "journalism", media, it's ALL programming and it works *exceedingly* well. The problem is that the democrats have been deeply brainwashed and as a result are trapped in a circus mirror hall of cognitive dissonance—unable to see things as they are because doing so would shatter their sense of self-worth. Being wrong is incredibly painful - it literally hurts the brain. So they cannot face being wrong. Mark Twain said it best:
"It's easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled."
The insightful legal alien in my initial post does a surgeons job of making it crystal clear just how BADLY they've been fooled.
Imagine trying to cope with that much egg on your face—It's practically impossible to deal with. And so they will continue doubling down until everything is destroyed. This is human nature at its worst. And if we don't overcome this fatal exploit, we're, well, in bad shape.
“A mental conflict occurs when beliefs are contradicted by new information. This conflict activates areas of the brain involved in personal identity and emotional response to threats. The brain's alarms go off when a person feels threatened on a deeply personal and emotional level, causing htem to shut down and disregard any rational evidence that contradicts what they previously regarded as "truth".”
Another related mental state which feeds cognitive dissonance is mass formation psychosis a form of public hypnosis studied by Solomon Ash and publicized by Mattias Desmet, a Belgian clinical psychologist during the Covid hysteria - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc0eIkdLAbA.
Nope. Normal human behavior. Ash found that subjects supposedly filling out a job application would leave a room filling up with smoke if by themselves. If in a group, they would stay. What does that tell you about "democracy"? People are better alone, yet too much aloneness leads to mental illness for most.
Milligram found out that some 65% of subjects would deliver what they thought was a lethal shock if ordered to by an authority figure, a doctor. What does tell you about human nature?
Such experiments aren't allowed any more. People can't deal with knowing who they are. But the experiments were done and repeated so we know. Democracy is contraindicated. People are too flawed to be allowed to vote for the most part.
On 9-11, many workers hiked all the way down the towers to the exits, only to be told by their bosses and security that it was safe and they should return to their desks. Most hiked back up to die in the fire. My wife worked in a high-rise (not in NYC) at the time and they did training in the aftermath. Her gay male boss assigned her a job in the event of a catastrophic event, that she should stand at the door and guide everyone to the exits before she got out herself. I told her to tell him to go fuck himself. Get out as fast as you can if something bad happens. Let the fag burn.
In an emergency, often the first person that you talk to will determine whether you will survive.
What happened on 911 was and is anomalous. No one there that day would have ever been in any kind of similar situation. What people do when they are in anomalous situations is "reality check" with anyone standing nearby--"are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
The response they get will determine what they do next, stay put or race for the exit.
Yup. It's normal. A constant for the average unthinking person, controlled as they are by the mob. The untermensch or mass man. The hero of Communism, the lumpen proletariat with educated cadres as the yeast which makes the lump of dough rise.
I couldn’t completely see it until one epiphany in September 2021 revealed who they really are. I then looked back in. You have to get out first really. But I was headed out for quite awhile.
Bottom line is this: I haven't given credence to anything ANY DEM/NWO/WEF/WHO/UN/EU/DS viewpoint, demand, statement, action, WHATEVER, in so many years . . . I don't read what they say, give credence to their BS, give a rat's a$$ about their avowals -- anything. They don't functionally exist in my world beyond their annoyance quotient. I don't care about them except when they get in the way of work, interfere, and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Then they need to be smacked down and hard. They are irrelevant. They did it to themselves.
Love this ethos, and I’d agree, except those very same people are the ones pushing transgender, pedophilia, DEI, CEI, CRT, HRC into schools and our culture, so there’s no way to escape, all we can do is fight it and not let them win.
This article is a deep dive on their control grid and how it works:
Why All These Brands (AB Inbev, Target, North Face Et Al.) Are Committing Suicide
Democrat compassion is pure sophistry cloaking evil actions in the Neuro linguistic programing language of good. Weaponizing immutable truths against the same truths and feeding it as relentless propaganda to a hapless hoi polloi along with the lubrication of ill gotten lucre is a Democratic "gift". I wonder who taught them these high level sophist skills.
typical bunch of right-wing horseshit, to me. It is one-sided and such thinking solves exactly NOTHING. There is no understanding of history. Both sides have committed equal numbers of crimes so get a little more knowledge in your soul
Neither am I. The red side happens to be the side that is doing something NOW about my issues. I could care less about GOP other than what they will do. I know they cannot be trusted either.
How so? Democrats always preferred war over peace, that was their fundamental lie. War protests were about anarchy and disruption to cause chaos, not peace.
The democrat party may have. The democrats did not. How do I know this?
I started out as a liberal. Every forum I visited were filled with people abhorring war. That only changed within the past 11 years when everything about being liberal was hijacked by globalists.
It's been a lot longer than 11 years, bub. Dems are overwhelmingly ideological more so than "the other side." Most Americans are born with a liberal mindset towards fairness, meritocracy, compassion freedom and liberty. ever read the American Creed? Dems have used their wealthy elites to reinforce a myth that "the other side" are bigots, misogynists, racists, antisemites, nazi's, fascists, white supremacists , etc. etc. with very little proof. When life long dems began turning away from the democratic party, and even some that did not, but began to infiltrate Republican circles they found conservatives and republicans to be the kind of people you projected the Democrats to be. What's destroyed the Democratic party is the embrace of cultural Marxism, Saul Alinsky tactics and Bolshevism, this has been largely true since the days of Wilson. Wilson was the first progressive globalist and they've been dragging this country down ever since.
The Left gave us the Russian Revolution, Nazism, Fascism, all the communist shit in Asia (China, Korea, Viet Nam, etc.), along with wars in Central and South America as well as Africa. Well over 150,000,000 dead from them "grand social experiment" --not counting all the people killed in the Middle East and elsewhere in color revolutions fomented by the Left since Lolo Soetoro's stepson sat with his feet on the desk in the Oval Office, or all the kids murdered in utero by women exploited by leftists preaching "equality" and "liberation." And you say it's horseshit? Man, you've got a lot of fucking nerve -- not to mention, a fuckton of bad information -- to deny the truth about your fellow leftists. Must be a college TA or a recently displaced NGO employee, er, "worker," in the Dumbasscrat lexicon.
The both sides do it argument has flaws. Both sides don't do what Democrats have done and continue to do. The fanatical adherence to a fantasy ideology that considers crime as simply a career choice and perfectly reasonable and no one should be accountable for theft, rape, or murder, that corruption is OK when they do it, that resistance and demonstrations are peaceful while they burn the city down, but walking around in the capital is treason, that there are more than two genders and genetic men can birth babies. The other side includes people who don't share your ideology but willing to accept your graft to be silent and look away.
I always said we dance with a 2 faced devil. They just take turns leading. Each has their own special harms for the people. But I reserve special contempt for the democrats at this time. They are mentally and emotionally leading their cult off a cliff.
Nice way to put it. The problem in my view tends to be the politicians and media. I agree Democrats have tilted toward mental and emotional; instability.
Attila the Hun. So where does he fit in? Where would Count Dracula fit in here? Europe is this hopeless, dark place. Until you favorite ideology comes along to fluff and shine and tweak things up with a little of their special ideologies like "Leftism," "Right-wing extremist violent Nazi thuggery and rape-ism," etc. How is it "only the democrats"? Wait. So. Was Hitler a Democrat? Is it that no one ever suffered (or caused others to) before some Democrat punched a Republican? Something just does not make sense here.
You want me to write a book? Some have probably been written but you are obviously not reading THOSE books. Ha ha ha. If you cannot see that the referent 'Comment' (now far above me in the scroll) is one-sided, then what can I say to you. You never read the Left point of view. Or heard it discussed at the dinner table, or argued over by your friends. The "Right" tends to act like no part of anything has ever been done wrong (by them I mean.) Human beings have been acting like rotten savages for a long time. The Left did not invent this, that's all.
James, I always look forward to reading your posts, but I'm still waiting for even one person whose name most people might recognize to "soon collide with the wheels of justice", as you promise us week in and week out. I'm retired now and hence getting on in years, so I doubt if I'll live to see it. Look at scumbags like John Podesta, who everyone knows the truth about (viz the DNC Wikileaks emails, which no one denies are real), yet still gets handed billions in full public view. You are the first one I've seen even mention his name recently--he continues to operate unhindered.
The worst that is likely to happen is that these swamp creatures will be allowed to quietly slither over to their mansions and spend their remaining years clubbing, going to award ceremonies, and appearing on various dying corporate media talk shows.
Building a Federal case takes some time, months, if not more, as it must be air tight. The first to charge must be strong and stellar because those in the vanguard who rush in to the breach always get attacked the worst.
I've never expected instant results, nor do I expect that now. My point is that even when the truth is widely known to the public, with proof beyond dispute, nothing ever happens to these people. So is "building a case" even worth the trouble, when so many are still on the loose even though "the case" has already been made beyond any doubt?
A really good example was FDR and the Great Depression. It has been said that the depression made more Democrats than any other time in history. Once in place, the Dems controlled the Congress until 1954, 22 years straight and the presidency until 1952, 20 years.
To believe that INTER-national trade should be just as easy and natural as INTRA-national trade is just another way of saying that you're a globalist.
You abused our good nature. Now comes the reckoning. The United States could be independent, not needing anything from any other nation. We should strive for that, with international trade being the icing on the cake. Canada could be too, I believe. That's what we should both strive for.
We have a special relationship, Lugh. Regionalism is not globalism. It is the complete opposite.
How did we "abuse" your good nature? By believing in the contracts that you signed and thus building our entire economy to service you, our biggest customer? How awful of us, eh?
You may have two good points there. I'm just repeating what Trump said, which may be true about many countries in terms of trade balances but not necessarily Canada.
Regionalism? A fair response which deservers consideration.
Fucking guy. You ruined my slam dunk. In hockey terms, I slap shotted an open net and you threw your stick and blocked it.
I feel bad ... but sorry to now wreck your analogy: if you shot the puck at my empty net and I stopped it from going in by throwing my stick, the rules of the game is that you get an 'awarded goal.'
-----
This is why I so enjoy discussing topics with you, Lugh. You are one of the few people here who doesn't just constantly dig-in his heels. You approach critical topics/discussion with an open-mind.
Kevin Michael Grace argues that the first Trudeau turned Canada away from its British and European orientation toward complete dependence on the US. Of course, your mother countries also lost their ways, but Canada became just a consumer and parasite of degenerate American culture and not a European outpost., like it had been in the past.
Wrong again! The main cause of the Depression was the technology changes that rapidly changed the balance between the agrarian and urban balance of employment. Hordes of rural folks went to the cities to an employment situation that had no room for them. Steinbeck documented the effect well in”The Grapes of Wrath”. The country supplied its needs quite well with 80% of the people working, that was the Depression. If Tariffs had been enforced the depression would have ended when more manufacturing would have been started with time. FDR found a quicker way to increase domestic production, WW2. Manufacturing “bullets” puts lots of people to work, the ones that moved to the cities.
The tariffs under the act, excluding duty-free imports, were the second highest in United States history, exceeded by only the Tariff of 1828.[3] The act prompted retaliatory tariffs by many other countries.[4] The act and tariffs imposed by America's trading partners in retaliation were major factors of the reduction of American exports and imports by 67% during the Great Depression.[5] Economists and economic historians have agreed that the passage of the Smoot–Hawley Tariff worsened the effects of the Great Depression.
In the study of economics, John, it is standard fare and common knowledge that tariffs are a very inefficient and counterproductive tax that inevitably end in yet another lose-lose.
You can take 100 economists and line them up on a straight line. They will all be pointing in different directions.
There are probably as many economists that will acknowledge that tariffs are effective at increasing domestic production economies, and that is their primary purpose, to protect. The USA has been "used" by the world for far too long with balance of trade deficits adding a substantial part of the debt. With Trump in office, that shit is going to change. America first!!! If Canada wants to join another trading bloc, more power to them. They WILL rue the day.
No. Economists are almost unanimous that tariffs are bad, John.
Name one example where tariffs worked. Anywhere. Anytime. Name one.
-----
We "use" you by providing you things that you want to buy from us? What, are you stupid?
Is Walmart "using" you, John?
Un-fucking-real! You buy real stuff from us with your phoney-bologna conjured-in-thin-air fiat ass-wipe US$ and then you get mad at us for producing what our customer demands (i.e. capitalism)? Yes, you are indeed stupid.
-----
Smoot-Hawley plunged the world into depression but you refuse to learn from your own mistakes as you repeat them chanting, "U-S-A! U-S-A!" like an obedient party member in George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.'
Well, I guess we will see who is right. I am glad I am on this side of the border. If you are typical of Canadians, the worst thing we could do is try to combine with you. So where are you going to go? China? Have a ball.
Trump, you need to start allocating for a wall on the North.
England industrialized first and flooded the ports of other nations with its goods. Europe was only able to catch up when Napoleon blockaded the ports against English goods. As in force. As in warships. Do you understand tariffs now? They are nation builders!
Poor Argentina was just starting to industrialize. It couldn't defend itself against England, though it wanted to. The English navy came down and said, Open up or we'll blast Buenos Aires to smithereens. They opened up and their industrialization was put back a hundred years.
Try to integrate your Christianity with your economics. Nations are necessary, thus tariffs are necessary. You are arguing for a Tower of Babel world.
Canada is America's hat, as well as our biggest national park. You're run by a socialist who thinks he's Almighty God (and is a candidate to become the Antichrist if things break in his favor). If you plugins ago going Canuck would just stop the flow of illegal aliens and illegal drugs (mainly fentanyl) across the border, that would take care of most of the problem. Unfortunately, Trudeau, as a good little piece of shit, wants to hurt America in order to hurt Trump -- and video versa -- so he won't do what he should do. Which gets the other moosefuckers in Ottawa all up in arms because those damn Americans suddenly have a spine again. So yes, the tariffs hurt us -- but they hurt you, too. And I think Trump will leave them in place until Prime Minister Blackface surrenders, the news media (especially WSJ) be damned.
That's misguided. The best way to lose an argument is through ad hominem attacks. Nothing says you have nothing quicker than calling people names. Ad hominem attacks avoid genuine debate by creating a diversion. You lose.
FYI: My great-great grandfather was named Gerald Michael McWilliams. He was Irish/Scottish (we don’t know which) and in 1849 he sailed on a tall ship from Ireland/Scotland, around the horn to San Francisco and became a 49er. Later he migrated to Southern California where his posterity became navel orange growers.
I was born in LA on Cinco-de-Mayo in 1948 and adopted by Redlands, California navel orange growers who were the victims of FDR’s 1933 executive order to confiscate the people’s gold. I grew up hearing the stories of what happened to the Southern California economy after FDR devalued the gold from $20.00/ounce to $35.00/ounce. My family and most of the Southern California farmers despised FDR.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt devalued the dollar by changing the price of gold from $20.67 per ounce to $35 per ounce on January 30, 1934, following the passage of the Gold Reserve Act. This 41% revaluation effectively devalued the U.S. dollar by increasing its inflation rate and expanding the money supply.
Still trying to convince everybody tariffs are taxes, you are a persistent dip shite. Tariffs and taxes both generate government revenue but serve different purposes. Tariffs are fees on imported or exported goods, often used to influence trade by making foreign products less competitive. Some (you) might call them a tax, but that is just a simile dip shite. Taxes are financial charges on individuals or businesses to fund government activities. tariffs can create conflicts between nations, but they are used all over the world even Canada on the USA. You are a fucking dope making a partisan argument because you are a canook and unhappy..
Agree. Like those endless congressional hearings, where the perps admit to all sorts of wrongdoing, lawbreaking, etc. (I'm thinking even Comey, years ago). And nothing happens. Are they waiting for US to storm the Bastille? It would seem so.
It is worth it to get people accustomed to thinking that these things happen, and that it is not alarmist or paranoid or conspiracy-theory to think so. At some point, hopefully, there will be action on the knowledge.
The ones who matter are beyond wealthy enough to simply flee the country, and they probably will. And they'll all escape capital punishment, regardless. Nobody in America has the stones to dish that out anymore. We've become too 'pussified'.
"pussified." Interesting term to describe the feminization of America. This is what happens when women have power, run and control education and vote. Sorry, but it's true.
That's just some Afghani. I doubt he's even worth the money it took to hunt him down, and why bother to take him alive? For a show trial? He's not one of those megalodons hunting in our waters, only a distraction.
We can only hope the Soros gang "accidentally" flies to Indonesia and is greeted by a few platoons of armed, uh, guards. We'll call them guards, yeah....
Bill, Damn your eyes! I know what you are thinking. You think elysianfield is a crook! Well, the readership should understand that I'm not a crook. I attended public schools, eat 40 count shrimp (when I can get 'em),...what can be more blue collar then having been on Judge Judy? I have been judged! My former wife wore respectable cloth coats, , my little asthmatic dog,? Well, I'm keeping him.
Yeah, OK, owning an electrical bicycle might sound like an indictment, but I am determined not to rub your noses in that fact. Soon, perhaps very soon, you will not have elysianfield to kick around, anymore.
Allow me to apologize. Although I was channeling Nixon in his various speeches, there is always a bit of truth to explore otherwise. Recently have been diagnosed with a hot case of congestive heart failure. Do not yet have an expiration date, and the doctor SAID that I can keep buying green bananas, so it is business as usual. One advantage of the condition is that I can wake every morning and say, with some truth,
"It is a good day to die"(I got more Indian in me than Buffy St. Marie, and that is near zero.).
Shit. I'm very sorry to hear that. Enjoy some fresh air and walks, and I guess eat right as best you can to keep the engine running smoothly. But clearly you are already aware to enjoy life, as it is (eventually) fleeting for all of us.
I'd also recommend a good John Candy movie or two to calm the soul.
Well, it does take longer than 6 weeks. I can't even get a probate going much more quickly than that. And even said probate is going to take months and months to unwind, even though, comparatively speaking, it's a much simpler affair.
Justice will not be done because the leader cleaning up the dysfunctional system has an inadequate moral compass and cannot recognize the value of Justice. Trump's focus is on getting the system to produce wealth again, not on deeply exposing the moral wrongs what wrecked it. The perps will walk, and do so in fine style as an example to future perps. Some of these players are more than simply criminal, they are Satanic and steeped deeply in iniquity, performing acts unimaginable to ordinary people. To let them walk is beyond a travesty, but walk they will. But getting the system to produce real wealth has to happen if the higher ups are to get some of it and the lower downs are to be comfortable. So that's where the focus is, morality comes in a distant second.
"The catch is: an org that gets government money is hardly non-governmental. Wouldn’t you think there’s some law against that?"
Well, golly gee whiz, I just pointed that out a week or so ago. It's been obvious for awhile. You can't accept gov $ without being a surrogate of the gov. It's called, "conflict of interest."
The whole "NGO" scam just needs to be scrapped, and let's just call them "charitable orgs" which receive strictly private contributions. But "charity" just doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Instead, the .gov puts its hand into your pocket or wallet, so to speak, and rips out whatever the fuck they want.
I'm shocked at how many folks were surprised about the NGO and USAID corruption. How could you not suspect these scams going on for fucking DECADES?
As someone remarked not too long ago, if an NGO has to close up shop when you cut off its government funding, it's not really "non-governmental", is it?
Public/private partnerships (PPP) have been the rule for at least 25 years now, so when people slam "the gubmit," they usually only get it half right. Corruption is now endemic throughout the entire public AND private edifices. Why? When "growth" fails, corruption (thievery) becomes the final option of the avaricious, who never lose their hunger for moar, moar, moar.
And the toxic genetic flaw that humanity cannot evolve past.....GREED. Insatiable greed. An endless desire to acquire more, more and even more beyond any semblance of actual need. Why does a billionaire need 10 billion? Greed is humanities downfall. Greed and the lust for alcohol, but I digress. Greed is the root of all corruption. Until we humans evolve past this we will never progress beyond what we are.
You're thinking of San Anselmo - of Spanish origin. Have not been there. To SF, yes. May go again soon, heard through the grapevine - no pun intended - that Pelosi received $14MM through USAid, for "experimental growing" at a vineyard she owns. Seems like she could scrape off a million or so for me. She's a hubris-filled bitch with zero shame. I'll dance a jig when a house finally falls on her.
My closest ancestors came through Ellis Island in 1908, direct from Palermo, Sicily. My grandfather and 5 of his siblings. I've seen the ship's manifest - had their ages, heights, and amount of money each had when they immigrated. Most worked in the steel mills, and coal mines, my grandfather arriving with $0.08.
Usually, my desire for banana pudding and consumption of banana pudding do not result in impaired driving that causes me to kill innocent people on the road, nor does my consumption of banana pudding cause me to beat my wife or commit crimes in a drunken stupor.
Alcohol, however, has shown to have a detrimental impact on those things.
Sex? Well if you are spreading your seed around without accountability then I would say that you probably ought to re-think your ways.
The PPP IIRC was a creation of one Michael Stanley Dukakis of the longtime single party Commonwealth of Massachusetts. With all the brainpower over at Peenemunde on the Charles AKA Kennedy School, democrats were able to hone their NGO Wunderwaffen into the things they are today
Without such things, we wouldn't have much culture or much of anything, really. No United States at all. Do you really think "get off my lawn patriots" could have defeated the large Indian tribes? Or even posses of such staunch Yeomen? It is to laugh.
The partnership went bad - as all things can. Even Sauron wasn't bad in the beginning. As Aquinas said, the misuse of something says nothing of thing itself. The dopes are implying that it does.
The South had a real, unique, definable culture. the North had nothing much that they didn't borrow directly from Europe. Hence, Southern music, food, literature, folkways, etc. that are the real America.
Imagine if a "charity" knocked on your door, then held a gun to your head and demanded that you give them a specified amount of money every year or they would blow your brains out. That's called "extortion," but that is exactly what NGOs do--they just get politicians to give them money, then the politicians direct the government to use the police powers of the government to confiscate the money from citizens, either through direct taxation or through the de facto tax caused by inflation. The simple solution is to outlaw government grants to charitable organizations or non-profits altogether. That would signal two things to charities and NGOs--that their operations had better be as efficient and non-partisan as possible, and that their survival depends on convincing American citizens of the value and worthiness of what they are doing.
Yes. The gods said, Give. Don't want to pay taxes, then tithe ten percent of your income to your Church to take up the slack, too feed the hungry, to take in orphans, to take care of the aged and crazy.
There were two other tithes, I believe one for widows and orphans; I don't remember the third. If you tax the hell out of people such that they're taxed multiple times for the same thing (e.g., property taxes and inheritance taxes), they generally have trouble paying one tithe. Which government sees as fine, since human government wants to replace God atop the food chain.
Slow and steady progress back towards the light. I'm encouraged to see the Rules Based Order disintegrating after so many decades. Perhaps the US will be able to return to a period of productivity and flourishing. Australia's long-dormant Liberal Party (traditionally the conservative choice in Aus) will run for election on a Trump-style platform later this year. There is optimism in the air for the first time in a long time. Jim, you've chronicled it all so well. Thank you!
“You funnel vast amounts of US taxpayer dollars into Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, spin off more NGOs below them, and add extra layers of subsidiary NGOs, and all of them pay their staffs of Dem Party foot-soldiers for do-nothing jobs — leaving plenty of time for riots and real-estate investing — a splendid racket that worked for years to support the insane antics of the Woke-Jacobin revolution.”
Otherwise known as racketeering which is a felony.
Alas, the RICO Act has outlived its usefulness. No one at the time could imagine a day when the grift became so big it was incorporated right into governmental (actually public/private symbiosis) operations. But here we are.
It was the Mob, period, grifted in with all the other global mobs.
That is why they had to keep the border open, to allow the global Mob to operate in the USA. The DOJ hopefully will go after the Mob in Mexico (the cartels) but I hope they pay some attention to the northern border as the Mob will move to a path of least resistance if a southern crackdown happens successfully. Canada is a relatively free society like the USA and will be a likely target for the Mob.
@ JohnAZ Isthat Arizona? The sister state of cartel corruption with British Columbia? You’re going to probably like heading over to the Absurdistan substack or listen to the 2 episode chat with it’s author Elizabeth Nickson on Kunstler Podcast
The cartels in Canada are interoperative with those from Mexico and have at least more sophisticated control of Canadian government. That’s why our brilliant troller says 51st state… and why the tariffs are on. Canada is a threat to US security
Elizabeth is at least as fun to read as Kunstler. For traditional investigative journalism and technical details the bureau with Sam Cooper.
It is Arizona. The state with Blue governorship that has hundreds of miles of ineffective border patrol due to its Blue hue. The state with a city that is Blue also with a huge contingent of illegals. That drugs run up into Phoenix for distribution, like Denver.
My main beef with Canada, because Trudeau has joined the Liberal globalists against Trump and does not seem to realize that as the USA goes, Canada goes. Especially the West. I saw a proposed map of re-organized North America where the mid-wests and mountain states of both countries join up with the USA South to form a new country, that is Reddish hued, whereas the Northeast USA and Eastern Canada form country number two and the west coasts of both form country number three. The last two are of course Blue. I see possibilities such as the West Coasts allying with China and the East Coast with Europe, against the Heartland.
I think you are right, that areas of Canada are infused with the same evils as the USA. They should be insisting on the USA enforcing its border as much as the USA insists that Mexico enforce their southern border.
It is 150 miles from the border and loaded with illegals, drugs and trafficking. And 6 million residents. It is rapidly turning Blue, taking the state with it. It does not meet Trump’s footprint at all. Mary, you are seeing the same thing in Boise, it is coming in from the West Coast, Mexico and Canada. If Trump’s plan to get rid of these illegals fails, the West is at risk.
Actually, there had to have been someone at the time that envisioned such a structure of government grift operation, and for some reason the name Soros comes to mind.
RICO,RICO,RICO. See what the Dems have done and remember Fani Willis tried to prosecute Trump for RICO for asking the GOP head in Georgia if he could find more votes in 2020. What a total crock the last four years have been.
Usually presents along with DARVO - deny attack, reverse victim and offender, braggadocio, claiming virtues they lack, bragging about their crimes and avoiding, ignoring, deprecating, torturing their actual victims.
Cluster B and dark tetrad psychopathologies, academics, lawyers and media propagandists are always key vectors of totalitarian madness
These grifters are not going to go quietly into the night. They will turn the country upside down to preserve their place in power and treasure.
Unfortunately the environment is going to get much worse than better for a period of time.
David Webb the author of The Great Taking did state that once the funds are cut off to these actors, things could return to a more normal state rather quickly. We shall see.
I would venture we will not have to deal with as many Rent A Mobs since the rent money is going poof. A warning to those who cannot accept how willing the hard left is to hang on to the 20 of 80/20 issues like secret transitioning of children in schools and refusing to hand over illegal felons to ICE. As Sun Tzu said, "an evil man will allow his country to burn to the ground if it means he can rule over the ashes." Power is all that matters to these freaks, whether over a functioning society or over a dung heap. Just as long as they can rule. They are the very definition of evil.
It appears from DOGE that a good bit of the USAID fraud wound up with many Soros related NGO's. These enemies of the Constitution will likely be a whole lot less willing to throw their own money around. I will take a wild leap and say they liked the adulation from funding all these riots and lawfare and liked the popular notion that they were funding all of this from their own pocket, but we now see it was money pried from the working class taxpayer in large measure.
Why overseas? The Rothschilds are in every major Western nation. Money isn't localized at all anymore. But when it was, Communism was funded from Manhattan along with the European capitals. Google Jacob Schiff. His bank is now Chase Manhattan.
That is why the USA government should be trying to disentangle itself from overseas involvement. Bring mfg. home, bring USAID home, reject the machinations of Rothschild/Soros type infiltration, make the USA an economic island again. Eff the world, all they want is our destruction and that includes our neighbors too. America First!!!!!
Are you kidding? That's what they do, though: Throw some low-level, powerless, probably programmed zealot under the bus, while allowing the higher ups to continue business as usual.
You're right, Mary. Same as the Praetorian Guard in the US - those that have wet their beaks to a paltry sum of $5MM over their lifetimes. They are the ones who unwittingly defend the status quo, allowing the upper-level raping, robbing and pillaging to go on, to the tune of hundreds of millions and billions of dollars. Same as it ever was.
First the freak wanted to bring in hundreds of thousands of Indians and with chain migration, millions. Now he wants to sell American citizenship. America is just a corporation to him.
It all hinges on the propaganda that is most of legacy media. If any of the major outlet's owners care about the survival of these networks and publications without making drastic cuts that send thousands into unemployment then perhaps some of them will pull back on the blatant lying and hysterical fear porn. I won't exactly be holding my breath, especially when it comes to the medical industrial complex, but as some companies keep firing key people and announce deep cuts I can only think those are good signs.
And the sickening thing is the drug company spent $5 billion on advertising last year and I picked up my prescription yesterday for 300 bucks another Pharmacy wanted 5000 ridiculous
Yes. We haven't defeated them at all. Nothing short of martial law would do that. And that begs the question if Trump and Musk can be completely trusted. No reason to thing so.
Mark Warner, not John. I point this out to not correct James, but ensure you all know that he is singularly behind all 'intelligence' wars on you; he enabled every.damn.thing. against Trump the last 10 years.
Senator Mark Warner, Demonrat, Virginia. Do not forget who this vermin is. He was top dawg on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence during the Xiden administration and before.
I pray your correct in assuming all these criminals will find appropriate prosecution. The magnitude of grift needs daily exposure for the citizens to see it on display and permanently bury the party of graft. And some tribunals and mass show trial like the J6 sham might help. I’m too cynical to believe any of these fucktards will be pursued by DOJ. Just wish they could all be hanged.
Remember that the Judicial system, judges, DAs, are still the same group of Leftists and RINOs they were in 2020. The DOJ needs to offset this representation of Soros et al to have any success.
Daily exposure won't happen as the mainstream media still protects the Democrat thugs and grifters. Too many Americans still tune into the nightly news and believe everything they are seeing and hearing. Too many Americans are too damned lazy to do research on anything. They are too busy watching the Bachelor or Desperate Housewives.
He must nationalize the media and then sell it back to patriotic individuals and parties. No more shooting ourselves in the foot with "freedom of the press" type sedition and slander.
Breaking News: President Trump prepares order to Dismantle the Department of Education."
Last year while Biden was still in White House, my two nieces came home from high school crying. Sobbing uncontrollably, they could hardly tell their father what happened. It seems their "Guidance Counselor" at school told them they must attend "Lesbian /Gender Affirming" classes after school, or they would receive detentions. (Both girls are straight-A students) The girls cried, "Daddy, we are not Lesbian, and we don't want to be"! Needless to say, their father pulled them out of school the next day, and they continued distance learning, which they had been doing on-and-off since Covid.
This is true story from my family. I swear, not an ounce of embellishment or BS added.
Most likely a law suit against the father for supporting the transphobic patriarchy and undermining the stunning and brave efforts to help young girls trapped in the wrong body to free themselves from society's cruel and unreasonable expectations.
"Transphobic patriarchy"? No, more like anti-child mutilation and abuse dude. "Trapped in the wrong body", seriously??? Sounds more like you were trapped without a brain. Good luck w that.
I believe you. This Department is utterly evil and needs to go - unlike some other departments. The John Az types would get rid of the EPA and turn all public lands over to the rapacious corporations.
The identity of every person involved in laundering money to themselves or their friends should be pursued and brought to justice. Nothing less is acceptable!
Also, crazy cane waving Al and all the “singers” in the well during his censure should be removed from their congressional duties. No more grand standing during hearings.
You cannot, they were elected by constituencies. Best thing is ID their true natures to the folks back home to make the minorities understand the corruption of the Dems and what effect it has on them. Read Tritorch’s comment earlier for a good example.
The speaker of the House has the authority to remove any congressman from their duties. He allows them to assume those responsibilities and can remove them for cause. In this case disrupting official duties during the censure.
Best way to handle idiots like this is turn off the lights, cameras, recorders and evacuate the chambers. Eventually they will realize they are singing to themselves, nobody is listening and will disperse. True, it shuts down the House business but who cares? Do we really need the House conducting "business" 24/7? Hell no. I actually breathe a sigh of relief when these fuckers go into recess. At least when they are on recess they can't do any more damage to us.
Tens of millions will die, in their homes or on the streets if the Liberal compact between the American government and the American people is dissolved.
Unfortunately true. That is why Trump, in his words, needs to use a scalpel instead of a hatchet on social programs, withdrawing very slowly, but constantly withdrawing.
Get it, it is a test of the American experiment. Can a nation exist based on individual responsibility and minimum government interference? We have gotten ourselves into this terrible position by following the Leftist carrot on the stick the power hungry Deep Staters have put in front of us. The test is not of the government, it is of us the people. If MAGA has success, it means the USA is viable as the FF wanted. If not? It is a lost cause.
No shock and awe, however as your forecast will be correct. Slow and cautious.
BTW, Musk needs some time off to go work on his Starship that keeps blowing up.
"We await a flood-tide of greatly disturbing revelation and concrete actionable allegation."
One can only hope, I fear that even should these revelations come to light, that nothing will happen. Look at how the Epstein files release has gone (nowhere). The so-called 'blob', while bleeding and reeling, is still very much alive and very much capable of defending itself like some virus that cannot be eradicated. We work within the confines of legitimate governance and bona fide justice. The blob does not, and consequently it can only be defeated through "extraordinary" means. Otherwise, it will only be held at bay for the next 4 years and re-emerge stronger the moment a democrat is in power. As famously stated in the Godfather; let's hit 'em now, while we got the muscle.
Because the Republicans are part of the blob. They profit from government largesse just like the Democrats. The proof? Nothing ever happens to these leaches. Nothing.
Only part of them, the RINOs. Right now, there are two parties in reality, The Deep State and MAGA. The Deep State is the Dems, 100% and the RINOs. They are for central government, period. Four years, maybe two, the parties will be different.
Seriously Lugh, I agree with you. BUT, IMHO, I believe Trump has a world view extremely different from the world’s today. I think he believes the world is going to split into three spheres of influence, very different to where it is today. He thinks beyond BRICS+ when Russia and China will split up for ascendancy, THree spheres of influence with the rest of the world jumping on one of them. Late 1900s had two with a Cold WAr the result. That is why I think he is making his unify the North American continent under one “flag”, moves right now. Look at what China is doing right now, exporting people, infrastructure, influence around the world. They tried to buy influence at the Panama Canal and were incensed when an American interest bought both of the ports they were trying to get into their camp. It was interesting that when Trump announced that in the speech, China declared “war” on the USA. The three phase war that Trump is envisioning, IMO, has already started and it has infuriated the traitorous elements in the USA and America’s adversaries overseas that he is doing something about it.
Canada, Greenland and Mexico are going to have to make a decision, support his worldview and form a legitimate economic union under one “flag”, or align with another of the tri-partite economic structure. If the USA loses all of them, we will still be strong but isolated. The rest however become minor players on the word stage as the USA pulls all the manufacturing back into the USA. We are the biggest consumer base of the world. Not Canada, not Mexico, not Greenland. Not China, Russia, Israel or anywhere else. That is what the goal of the tariffs is.
The first was about Charles 3 response to the tariffs as he is talking to Trudeau, a really good example of Europe, including Britain separating from the US and the second about China worrying about the USA isolating them from world trade. Tri-partite world is coming.
What about Phil's point: That Canada, even though a Socialist crap hole, hasn't done anything that bad to us. It certainly doesn't deserve to be destroyed by Trump's economic offensive. One is reminded of the old headline: Judea declares war on Germany - economic war that is.
Don’t care. Trump stands for America first. He also stands for what he sees in the future, Canada does not mean anything for America in he future. Phil doesn’t like that one iota and if sides were reversed I wouldn’t either. Trump sees what China is doing throughout the world and is throwing the gauntlet at them. China and Mexico have been way to buddy buddy with China with China’s desire to destroy the USA with drugs and invasion. Canada, under Trudeau, has assisted Biden’s gang to allow the destruction of America’s morality and just good sense. Trump is going to destroy every vestige of the China takeover of North America, period. China is invading Canada from the west, the US from the West Coast and Mexico in conjunction with the cartels. Panama had a near miss, on the way to Chinese control on both oceans, until US interests bought both ports. China was so incensed by that they declared war on the USA, economic for now, during Trump’s speech when he announced the change in Panama. Did you know that China has been manipulating with Denmark about access to Greenland? Look around the globe and look what China is doing to diminish the USA. People like Phil probably want the USA to go under, I wonder if it even wonder what living under Chinese rule would be like?
Trump sees it all coming and is trying very hard to shut it down. Success in Panama is good. Now, shutting down the southern border is crucial, especially in SoCal to keep further Chinese invaders out. Canada, AT, (after Trudeau) will be facing the same thing in British Columbia. They will be asking the USA for help at that time and we will give it. Always a sucker for sad sacks.
Poor Mexico will be dying in its own cartel shit when they no longer have access through the border. A real possibility of war exists here when the Mexican government can do nothing to stem the tide of encroaching immigrants bought and paid for by guess who? China in the lead, IMHO.
I believe Trump and his advisors see this all coming and much of his foreign policy is aimed at offsetting it. He wants the Ukaine thing over and done with as the “guns” need to be aimed at China. Africa is becoming “owned” by the Chinese, and they are moving onto the Middle East.
If I was you I would not be worrying too much about Israel and a lot more about our Asian friends. They really can take over the world without firing a shot.
If America conquered the world, would it still be America? We REFRAINED from taking Mexico even when it was prostrate at our feet. We didn't want to breed with them, to become them.
"We work within the confines of legitimate governance and bona fide justice. The blob does not, and consequently it can only be defeated through "extraordinary" means." Well said and therein lies the rub. From what I know of our President, he plays the long game. Fingers crossed. 🤞
This is only one facet of "The Great Taking". So when will those culpable and complicit be placed in cuffs and lead away to prison eh? There is a litany of crimes here. Sheldon Whitehouse and his wife come to mind, with the fraudulent "ocean conservancy" foundation. Sheldon votes for the legislation that passes and then funds his wife's foundation? How the FK does that continue going on for years with no one saying boo??? This crook and his wife amassed millions with this racket while the state of RI became a stinking shit-hole sewer state.
And Hunter Biden is crying poormouth! Says he's broke because of his legal expenses, the loss of his home in Malibu (which is actually still standing), and the decline in his book and "art" sales.
I recall an instance where Hunter took a $55,000 charter flight to go to a child support hearing to claim he didn't have enough money to pay child support. That is a special kind of hubris!
Sooner or later, as people see there is no justice meted out to those who've ruined their lives, the lives of their loved ones, who are allowed to kill and steal with impunity, some are going to take matters in their own hands. I think this is what's desired by the PTB. It's a tribute to their restraint that it hasn't happened yet.
Wow. I'm going to use this masterpiece of vivid literary explication to attempt to explain what's happened, to a few people still ensconced in PBS/Atlantic Media, but nevertheless with still-plastic minds.
A legal immigrant tells the truth about liberal crocodile tear compassion:
Not long after I came to America I was exposed to the narrative that the Democrat Party was the party of the little guy and the only party with genuine care and compassion for the average American. Fortunately because I grew up under a dictatorship I could not be easily fooled by socioeconomic shackles masquerading as compassionate public policy. The truth is there is no compassion like Democrat compassion, it is the kind of compassion that lets people shoot illicit drugs into their body with the government's assistance. It is a kind of compassion that sees assisted suicide as a moral virtue. Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that lets you rob the innocent in hardworking businesses in your neighborhood and walk out with impunity with no fear of prosecution.
Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that tells vulnerable women it is their right to abort and sacrifice their unborn children on the perverted altar of female empowerment and convenience. Democrat compassion is the kind of compassion that tells children they were born in the wrong body and encourages and subsidizes their mutilation. Democrat compassion is the kind of compassion that lets boys unfairly compete against girls taking their records, their opportunities, and their scholarships and invade their private spaces turning back Decades of hard-fought gains... and progress Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that allows homeless people to defecate on sidewalks and sleep in tense in public parks while watching them as they abuse drugs and suffer through mental illness...
He goes on here: https://old.bitchute.com/video/km6W0evMlQQ5 [4:37mins]
Democrat Compassion = evil. Simple enough.
From the party angle, yes, it’s predatory and inverted.
From the constituent angle, most cannot see the bigger picture because the Democrat party preys on their emotions. This is yet another reason why politics is mind control: it blinds many.
TV, "journalism", media, it's ALL programming and it works *exceedingly* well. The problem is that the democrats have been deeply brainwashed and as a result are trapped in a circus mirror hall of cognitive dissonance—unable to see things as they are because doing so would shatter their sense of self-worth. Being wrong is incredibly painful - it literally hurts the brain. So they cannot face being wrong. Mark Twain said it best:
"It's easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled."
The insightful legal alien in my initial post does a surgeons job of making it crystal clear just how BADLY they've been fooled.
Imagine trying to cope with that much egg on your face—It's practically impossible to deal with. And so they will continue doubling down until everything is destroyed. This is human nature at its worst. And if we don't overcome this fatal exploit, we're, well, in bad shape.
“A mental conflict occurs when beliefs are contradicted by new information. This conflict activates areas of the brain involved in personal identity and emotional response to threats. The brain's alarms go off when a person feels threatened on a deeply personal and emotional level, causing htem to shut down and disregard any rational evidence that contradicts what they previously regarded as "truth".”
What is "inversion?"
It's a denial of God's reality.
Aka... Satanic. Luciferian if you prefer.
What is above is also below is what they say, and they use that hand signal. They invert the one that Jesus did.
Thanks, TriTorch, for both your original post and your comments here. I'd love to get a source for the last quote.
Mark Twain.
Thank you. This is the close I have to a source for it:
https://www.echopress.com/opinion/letter-to-the-editor-the-problem-of-cognitive-dissonance
Another related mental state which feeds cognitive dissonance is mass formation psychosis a form of public hypnosis studied by Solomon Ash and publicized by Mattias Desmet, a Belgian clinical psychologist during the Covid hysteria - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc0eIkdLAbA.
Nope. Normal human behavior. Ash found that subjects supposedly filling out a job application would leave a room filling up with smoke if by themselves. If in a group, they would stay. What does that tell you about "democracy"? People are better alone, yet too much aloneness leads to mental illness for most.
Milligram found out that some 65% of subjects would deliver what they thought was a lethal shock if ordered to by an authority figure, a doctor. What does tell you about human nature?
Such experiments aren't allowed any more. People can't deal with knowing who they are. But the experiments were done and repeated so we know. Democracy is contraindicated. People are too flawed to be allowed to vote for the most part.
On 9-11, many workers hiked all the way down the towers to the exits, only to be told by their bosses and security that it was safe and they should return to their desks. Most hiked back up to die in the fire. My wife worked in a high-rise (not in NYC) at the time and they did training in the aftermath. Her gay male boss assigned her a job in the event of a catastrophic event, that she should stand at the door and guide everyone to the exits before she got out herself. I told her to tell him to go fuck himself. Get out as fast as you can if something bad happens. Let the fag burn.
In an emergency, often the first person that you talk to will determine whether you will survive.
What happened on 911 was and is anomalous. No one there that day would have ever been in any kind of similar situation. What people do when they are in anomalous situations is "reality check" with anyone standing nearby--"are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
The response they get will determine what they do next, stay put or race for the exit.
Nope. Mass formation tells you a lot about herd instinct, cognitive dissonance tells you how it works.
Yup. It's normal. A constant for the average unthinking person, controlled as they are by the mob. The untermensch or mass man. The hero of Communism, the lumpen proletariat with educated cadres as the yeast which makes the lump of dough rise.
So 65% would kill someone under the direct orders.
Wow, I would say unbelievable except unfortunately it’s quite believable
The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter. - Winston Chudhill

Winston Churchill was an alcoholic monster so he is most likely making fun of him
I couldn’t completely see it until one epiphany in September 2021 revealed who they really are. I then looked back in. You have to get out first really. But I was headed out for quite awhile.
Democrat compassion. Oxymoron.
Yeah, just look at North Carolina.
Take a good look at Selma, Alabama!

Virtue signaling. Nothing more. there is no virtue in it, but they wear it like perfume.
Extraordinary! Nailed them to a T!
Sounds like demonic greed for human pain to me.
Looking forward to reading Gad Saad’s new book on this topic titled “Suicidal Empathy”.
Bottom line is this: I haven't given credence to anything ANY DEM/NWO/WEF/WHO/UN/EU/DS viewpoint, demand, statement, action, WHATEVER, in so many years . . . I don't read what they say, give credence to their BS, give a rat's a$$ about their avowals -- anything. They don't functionally exist in my world beyond their annoyance quotient. I don't care about them except when they get in the way of work, interfere, and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Then they need to be smacked down and hard. They are irrelevant. They did it to themselves.
Love this ethos, and I’d agree, except those very same people are the ones pushing transgender, pedophilia, DEI, CEI, CRT, HRC into schools and our culture, so there’s no way to escape, all we can do is fight it and not let them win.
This article is a deep dive on their control grid and how it works:
Why All These Brands (AB Inbev, Target, North Face Et Al.) Are Committing Suicide
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/why-all-these-brands-ab-inbev-target
Very well stated!
This is extraordinary writing. Trenchant, concise, and reality-based. So well done. So relevant to JHK's post here.
Democrat compassion is pure sophistry cloaking evil actions in the Neuro linguistic programing language of good. Weaponizing immutable truths against the same truths and feeding it as relentless propaganda to a hapless hoi polloi along with the lubrication of ill gotten lucre is a Democratic "gift". I wonder who taught them these high level sophist skills.
Well said. Who else?
typical bunch of right-wing horseshit, to me. It is one-sided and such thinking solves exactly NOTHING. There is no understanding of history. Both sides have committed equal numbers of crimes so get a little more knowledge in your soul
I’m not on either side. The dems are being dragged to hell by their party just via perversion where the right was dragged into hell through war
Neither am I. The red side happens to be the side that is doing something NOW about my issues. I could care less about GOP other than what they will do. I know they cannot be trusted either.
How so? Democrats always preferred war over peace, that was their fundamental lie. War protests were about anarchy and disruption to cause chaos, not peace.
The democrat party may have. The democrats did not. How do I know this?
I started out as a liberal. Every forum I visited were filled with people abhorring war. That only changed within the past 11 years when everything about being liberal was hijacked by globalists.
It's been a lot longer than 11 years, bub. Dems are overwhelmingly ideological more so than "the other side." Most Americans are born with a liberal mindset towards fairness, meritocracy, compassion freedom and liberty. ever read the American Creed? Dems have used their wealthy elites to reinforce a myth that "the other side" are bigots, misogynists, racists, antisemites, nazi's, fascists, white supremacists , etc. etc. with very little proof. When life long dems began turning away from the democratic party, and even some that did not, but began to infiltrate Republican circles they found conservatives and republicans to be the kind of people you projected the Democrats to be. What's destroyed the Democratic party is the embrace of cultural Marxism, Saul Alinsky tactics and Bolshevism, this has been largely true since the days of Wilson. Wilson was the first progressive globalist and they've been dragging this country down ever since.
That’s what I saw marching against the Iraq war. Liberals like me. That’s who were around me.
that's what I be sayin'
The Left gave us the Russian Revolution, Nazism, Fascism, all the communist shit in Asia (China, Korea, Viet Nam, etc.), along with wars in Central and South America as well as Africa. Well over 150,000,000 dead from them "grand social experiment" --not counting all the people killed in the Middle East and elsewhere in color revolutions fomented by the Left since Lolo Soetoro's stepson sat with his feet on the desk in the Oval Office, or all the kids murdered in utero by women exploited by leftists preaching "equality" and "liberation." And you say it's horseshit? Man, you've got a lot of fucking nerve -- not to mention, a fuckton of bad information -- to deny the truth about your fellow leftists. Must be a college TA or a recently displaced NGO employee, er, "worker," in the Dumbasscrat lexicon.
“must be”
The both sides do it argument has flaws. Both sides don't do what Democrats have done and continue to do. The fanatical adherence to a fantasy ideology that considers crime as simply a career choice and perfectly reasonable and no one should be accountable for theft, rape, or murder, that corruption is OK when they do it, that resistance and demonstrations are peaceful while they burn the city down, but walking around in the capital is treason, that there are more than two genders and genetic men can birth babies. The other side includes people who don't share your ideology but willing to accept your graft to be silent and look away.
I always said we dance with a 2 faced devil. They just take turns leading. Each has their own special harms for the people. But I reserve special contempt for the democrats at this time. They are mentally and emotionally leading their cult off a cliff.
Nice way to put it. The problem in my view tends to be the politicians and media. I agree Democrats have tilted toward mental and emotional; instability.
Attila the Hun. So where does he fit in? Where would Count Dracula fit in here? Europe is this hopeless, dark place. Until you favorite ideology comes along to fluff and shine and tweak things up with a little of their special ideologies like "Leftism," "Right-wing extremist violent Nazi thuggery and rape-ism," etc. How is it "only the democrats"? Wait. So. Was Hitler a Democrat? Is it that no one ever suffered (or caused others to) before some Democrat punched a Republican? Something just does not make sense here.
Where should either fit in? The left wing-right wing construct came along much later post Scottish enlightenment.
"Right-wing extremist violent Nazi thuggery and rape-ism," etc.
Why do you use that slur? Nazi's were National Socialists. Why is rapism right wing and what evidence do you have to make such an accusation?
Perhaps you are projecting. Maybe that's why it doesn't make sense to you.
Only Israel can save us. Only the Chosen never do wrong.
Which part is right-wing horseshit? Be specific.
You want me to write a book? Some have probably been written but you are obviously not reading THOSE books. Ha ha ha. If you cannot see that the referent 'Comment' (now far above me in the scroll) is one-sided, then what can I say to you. You never read the Left point of view. Or heard it discussed at the dinner table, or argued over by your friends. The "Right" tends to act like no part of anything has ever been done wrong (by them I mean.) Human beings have been acting like rotten savages for a long time. The Left did not invent this, that's all.
You only had to give one example.
you bet!
Jimbo's education at Albany Community College is on full display.
The sad thing is the # of sycophants.
It's like when Jay Leno used to interview people on the street.
James, I always look forward to reading your posts, but I'm still waiting for even one person whose name most people might recognize to "soon collide with the wheels of justice", as you promise us week in and week out. I'm retired now and hence getting on in years, so I doubt if I'll live to see it. Look at scumbags like John Podesta, who everyone knows the truth about (viz the DNC Wikileaks emails, which no one denies are real), yet still gets handed billions in full public view. You are the first one I've seen even mention his name recently--he continues to operate unhindered.
The worst that is likely to happen is that these swamp creatures will be allowed to quietly slither over to their mansions and spend their remaining years clubbing, going to award ceremonies, and appearing on various dying corporate media talk shows.
Building a Federal case takes some time, months, if not more, as it must be air tight. The first to charge must be strong and stellar because those in the vanguard who rush in to the breach always get attacked the worst.
I've never expected instant results, nor do I expect that now. My point is that even when the truth is widely known to the public, with proof beyond dispute, nothing ever happens to these people. So is "building a case" even worth the trouble, when so many are still on the loose even though "the case" has already been made beyond any doubt?
A really good example was FDR and the Great Depression. It has been said that the depression made more Democrats than any other time in history. Once in place, the Dems controlled the Congress until 1954, 22 years straight and the presidency until 1952, 20 years.
And what poured the gasoline onto the fire of the Great Depression?
Smoot-Hawley, you dopes.
You cheer on Trump's new taxes (tariffs) while simultaneously being against new taxes. You are gaslit. Wake-up already!
Those who do not learn from history are damned to repeat it.
To believe that INTER-national trade should be just as easy and natural as INTRA-national trade is just another way of saying that you're a globalist.
You abused our good nature. Now comes the reckoning. The United States could be independent, not needing anything from any other nation. We should strive for that, with international trade being the icing on the cake. Canada could be too, I believe. That's what we should both strive for.
We have a special relationship, Lugh. Regionalism is not globalism. It is the complete opposite.
How did we "abuse" your good nature? By believing in the contracts that you signed and thus building our entire economy to service you, our biggest customer? How awful of us, eh?
You may have two good points there. I'm just repeating what Trump said, which may be true about many countries in terms of trade balances but not necessarily Canada.
Regionalism? A fair response which deservers consideration.
Fucking guy. You ruined my slam dunk. In hockey terms, I slap shotted an open net and you threw your stick and blocked it.
Ha!
I feel bad ... but sorry to now wreck your analogy: if you shot the puck at my empty net and I stopped it from going in by throwing my stick, the rules of the game is that you get an 'awarded goal.'
-----
This is why I so enjoy discussing topics with you, Lugh. You are one of the few people here who doesn't just constantly dig-in his heels. You approach critical topics/discussion with an open-mind.
Cheers!
Kevin Michael Grace argues that the first Trudeau turned Canada away from its British and European orientation toward complete dependence on the US. Of course, your mother countries also lost their ways, but Canada became just a consumer and parasite of degenerate American culture and not a European outpost., like it had been in the past.
Wrong again! The main cause of the Depression was the technology changes that rapidly changed the balance between the agrarian and urban balance of employment. Hordes of rural folks went to the cities to an employment situation that had no room for them. Steinbeck documented the effect well in”The Grapes of Wrath”. The country supplied its needs quite well with 80% of the people working, that was the Depression. If Tariffs had been enforced the depression would have ended when more manufacturing would have been started with time. FDR found a quicker way to increase domestic production, WW2. Manufacturing “bullets” puts lots of people to work, the ones that moved to the cities.
WW2...all wars are bankers' wars and that one was to determine who dominated the markets and whose currency would be the reserve...

Wrong again!
The tariffs under the act, excluding duty-free imports, were the second highest in United States history, exceeded by only the Tariff of 1828.[3] The act prompted retaliatory tariffs by many other countries.[4] The act and tariffs imposed by America's trading partners in retaliation were major factors of the reduction of American exports and imports by 67% during the Great Depression.[5] Economists and economic historians have agreed that the passage of the Smoot–Hawley Tariff worsened the effects of the Great Depression.

In the study of economics, John, it is standard fare and common knowledge that tariffs are a very inefficient and counterproductive tax that inevitably end in yet another lose-lose.
Ho ho. Reminds me of a joke.
You can take 100 economists and line them up on a straight line. They will all be pointing in different directions.
There are probably as many economists that will acknowledge that tariffs are effective at increasing domestic production economies, and that is their primary purpose, to protect. The USA has been "used" by the world for far too long with balance of trade deficits adding a substantial part of the debt. With Trump in office, that shit is going to change. America first!!! If Canada wants to join another trading bloc, more power to them. They WILL rue the day.
No. Economists are almost unanimous that tariffs are bad, John.
Name one example where tariffs worked. Anywhere. Anytime. Name one.

We "use" you by providing you things that you want to buy from us? What, are you stupid?
Is Walmart "using" you, John?
Un-fucking-real! You buy real stuff from us with your phoney-bologna conjured-in-thin-air fiat ass-wipe US$ and then you get mad at us for producing what our customer demands (i.e. capitalism)? Yes, you are indeed stupid.

Smoot-Hawley plunged the world into depression but you refuse to learn from your own mistakes as you repeat them chanting, "U-S-A! U-S-A!" like an obedient party member in George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.'
Well, I guess we will see who is right. I am glad I am on this side of the border. If you are typical of Canadians, the worst thing we could do is try to combine with you. So where are you going to go? China? Have a ball.
Trump, you need to start allocating for a wall on the North.
Ha! Take a look at a map, John. Good luck!
Besides, we like living longer with less stress.

But, 18% of Alberta wants to merge with you. 13% of Saskatchewan. The other eight provinces and three territories are all each less than 10%.
Trump doesn't care. He's building Region 1 of the New World Order's Ten Kingdoms.
Sad but true.
England industrialized first and flooded the ports of other nations with its goods. Europe was only able to catch up when Napoleon blockaded the ports against English goods. As in force. As in warships. Do you understand tariffs now? They are nation builders!
Poor Argentina was just starting to industrialize. It couldn't defend itself against England, though it wanted to. The English navy came down and said, Open up or we'll blast Buenos Aires to smithereens. They opened up and their industrialization was put back a hundred years.
Try to integrate your Christianity with your economics. Nations are necessary, thus tariffs are necessary. You are arguing for a Tower of Babel world.
No. We have been peaceful neighbours, allies, friends and trading partners for these past 158 years.
The USA (with its almost $30T GDP) will not become stronger by destroying your little brother.
Canada is America's hat, as well as our biggest national park. You're run by a socialist who thinks he's Almighty God (and is a candidate to become the Antichrist if things break in his favor). If you plugins ago going Canuck would just stop the flow of illegal aliens and illegal drugs (mainly fentanyl) across the border, that would take care of most of the problem. Unfortunately, Trudeau, as a good little piece of shit, wants to hurt America in order to hurt Trump -- and video versa -- so he won't do what he should do. Which gets the other moosefuckers in Ottawa all up in arms because those damn Americans suddenly have a spine again. So yes, the tariffs hurt us -- but they hurt you, too. And I think Trump will leave them in place until Prime Minister Blackface surrenders, the news media (especially WSJ) be damned.
Right. Trudeau thinks that he is Almighty God and you know his thoughts because you ... what?
You do realize how stupid you sound, right? Telling me his thoughts.

Right. Satan is apt to spring his antichrist from the USA's hat. Good thinking.

I've always said the best way to win an argument is to call people names.
Go fuck yourself.
That's misguided. The best way to lose an argument is through ad hominem attacks. Nothing says you have nothing quicker than calling people names. Ad hominem attacks avoid genuine debate by creating a diversion. You lose.
Right. Good thinking. That way, just in case you are a dope, you don't have to consider the message from the man that you don't like.
FYI: My great-great grandfather was named Gerald Michael McWilliams. He was Irish/Scottish (we don’t know which) and in 1849 he sailed on a tall ship from Ireland/Scotland, around the horn to San Francisco and became a 49er. Later he migrated to Southern California where his posterity became navel orange growers.
I was born in LA on Cinco-de-Mayo in 1948 and adopted by Redlands, California navel orange growers who were the victims of FDR’s 1933 executive order to confiscate the people’s gold. I grew up hearing the stories of what happened to the Southern California economy after FDR devalued the gold from $20.00/ounce to $35.00/ounce. My family and most of the Southern California farmers despised FDR.
"after FDR devalued the gold from $20.00/ounce to $35.00/ounce."
???
President Franklin D. Roosevelt devalued the dollar by changing the price of gold from $20.67 per ounce to $35 per ounce on January 30, 1934, following the passage of the Gold Reserve Act. This 41% revaluation effectively devalued the U.S. dollar by increasing its inflation rate and expanding the money supply.
Still trying to convince everybody tariffs are taxes, you are a persistent dip shite. Tariffs and taxes both generate government revenue but serve different purposes. Tariffs are fees on imported or exported goods, often used to influence trade by making foreign products less competitive. Some (you) might call them a tax, but that is just a simile dip shite. Taxes are financial charges on individuals or businesses to fund government activities. tariffs can create conflicts between nations, but they are used all over the world even Canada on the USA. You are a fucking dope making a partisan argument because you are a canook and unhappy..
Agree. Like those endless congressional hearings, where the perps admit to all sorts of wrongdoing, lawbreaking, etc. (I'm thinking even Comey, years ago). And nothing happens. Are they waiting for US to storm the Bastille? It would seem so.
yes, it's worth building a case. As we saw with the lawfare against Trump and his former associates, the process is the punishment.
It is worth it to get people accustomed to thinking that these things happen, and that it is not alarmist or paranoid or conspiracy-theory to think so. At some point, hopefully, there will be action on the knowledge.
It will happen when those with TDS come to their senses.
That won't ever happen.
It really is a mental disorder.
The ones who matter are beyond wealthy enough to simply flee the country, and they probably will. And they'll all escape capital punishment, regardless. Nobody in America has the stones to dish that out anymore. We've become too 'pussified'.
"pussified." Interesting term to describe the feminization of America. This is what happens when women have power, run and control education and vote. Sorry, but it's true.
Well, ... there's a new sheriff in town, so don't discard optimism.

That's just some Afghani. I doubt he's even worth the money it took to hunt him down, and why bother to take him alive? For a show trial? He's not one of those megalodons hunting in our waters, only a distraction.
I’ve volunteered for gallows duty, firing squad duty, and catapult duty. No calls yet.
Alan, let me know if they call, I'll go with you 😉
We can only hope the Soros gang "accidentally" flies to Indonesia and is greeted by a few platoons of armed, uh, guards. We'll call them guards, yeah....
I'm still waiting for some consequences to happen to somebody for the 2008 financial debacle.
You'll have to keep waiting. They all have three more lake cabins than they did then.

You forgot one. Getting paid millions to publish their memoirs even though nobody will buy their books.
Yes--the list of ways to grease palms have grown so numerous that it is hard to remember them all! "Artwork" seems to be growing in popularity...
BTW... James's artwork is beautiful.
I'd actually buy it. :)
True. Realizing now that major book publishers are primarily in the money laundering business. Art sellers/auction houses, same.
Bill, Damn your eyes! I know what you are thinking. You think elysianfield is a crook! Well, the readership should understand that I'm not a crook. I attended public schools, eat 40 count shrimp (when I can get 'em),...what can be more blue collar then having been on Judge Judy? I have been judged! My former wife wore respectable cloth coats, , my little asthmatic dog,? Well, I'm keeping him.
Yeah, OK, owning an electrical bicycle might sound like an indictment, but I am determined not to rub your noses in that fact. Soon, perhaps very soon, you will not have elysianfield to kick around, anymore.
Cryptic and little disturbing, elysian. Hope you're healthy and just blowing off some steam...
Mango,
Allow me to apologize. Although I was channeling Nixon in his various speeches, there is always a bit of truth to explore otherwise. Recently have been diagnosed with a hot case of congestive heart failure. Do not yet have an expiration date, and the doctor SAID that I can keep buying green bananas, so it is business as usual. One advantage of the condition is that I can wake every morning and say, with some truth,
"It is a good day to die"(I got more Indian in me than Buffy St. Marie, and that is near zero.).
Shit. I'm very sorry to hear that. Enjoy some fresh air and walks, and I guess eat right as best you can to keep the engine running smoothly. But clearly you are already aware to enjoy life, as it is (eventually) fleeting for all of us.
I'd also recommend a good John Candy movie or two to calm the soul.
Hoka Hey, sir, all the best...
Well, it does take longer than 6 weeks. I can't even get a probate going much more quickly than that. And even said probate is going to take months and months to unwind, even though, comparatively speaking, it's a much simpler affair.
Justice will not be done because the leader cleaning up the dysfunctional system has an inadequate moral compass and cannot recognize the value of Justice. Trump's focus is on getting the system to produce wealth again, not on deeply exposing the moral wrongs what wrecked it. The perps will walk, and do so in fine style as an example to future perps. Some of these players are more than simply criminal, they are Satanic and steeped deeply in iniquity, performing acts unimaginable to ordinary people. To let them walk is beyond a travesty, but walk they will. But getting the system to produce real wealth has to happen if the higher ups are to get some of it and the lower downs are to be comfortable. So that's where the focus is, morality comes in a distant second.
Podesta was on board of one of my Schwab stocks I almost blew a gasket when I saw his name there
Ha, sounds like Hollywood.
JHK sez:
"The catch is: an org that gets government money is hardly non-governmental. Wouldn’t you think there’s some law against that?"
Well, golly gee whiz, I just pointed that out a week or so ago. It's been obvious for awhile. You can't accept gov $ without being a surrogate of the gov. It's called, "conflict of interest."
The whole "NGO" scam just needs to be scrapped, and let's just call them "charitable orgs" which receive strictly private contributions. But "charity" just doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Instead, the .gov puts its hand into your pocket or wallet, so to speak, and rips out whatever the fuck they want.
I'm shocked at how many folks were surprised about the NGO and USAID corruption. How could you not suspect these scams going on for fucking DECADES?
I can't even.
As someone remarked not too long ago, if an NGO has to close up shop when you cut off its government funding, it's not really "non-governmental", is it?
Public/private partnerships (PPP) have been the rule for at least 25 years now, so when people slam "the gubmit," they usually only get it half right. Corruption is now endemic throughout the entire public AND private edifices. Why? When "growth" fails, corruption (thievery) becomes the final option of the avaricious, who never lose their hunger for moar, moar, moar.
Yep. Add "corporate personhood" to the mix, and you've got yourself, well, a Clusterfuck Nation.
And the toxic genetic flaw that humanity cannot evolve past.....GREED. Insatiable greed. An endless desire to acquire more, more and even more beyond any semblance of actual need. Why does a billionaire need 10 billion? Greed is humanities downfall. Greed and the lust for alcohol, but I digress. Greed is the root of all corruption. Until we humans evolve past this we will never progress beyond what we are.
I lust for sex. Does that make me evil?
"I lust for sex. Does that make me evil?"

Only if you are doing it right....
Well then, my money says she's evil.
Clusterfuck's Rudolf Valentino weighs in. All the girls are fighting over him. How can normal, boring guys compete with these Dance Hall Sheiks?
LOL!
Ya gotta love the clip they included in the film "Cinema Paradiso" from "The Sheik". I cry every time I watch that film.
I can't decide whether Valentino or Yul Brynner was the sexiest actor. I'm heavily leaning towards Yul.
Most people celebrate Easter by going to church. I celebrate it by watching a bunch of hot, nearly-naked guys in "The Ten Commandments." LOL
Stop it Janos, you're making me blush.
I just heard about a beautiful town just north of San Francisco - Anselmo. Pelosi country. Ever been there?
You're thinking of San Anselmo - of Spanish origin. Have not been there. To SF, yes. May go again soon, heard through the grapevine - no pun intended - that Pelosi received $14MM through USAid, for "experimental growing" at a vineyard she owns. Seems like she could scrape off a million or so for me. She's a hubris-filled bitch with zero shame. I'll dance a jig when a house finally falls on her.
My closest ancestors came through Ellis Island in 1908, direct from Palermo, Sicily. My grandfather and 5 of his siblings. I've seen the ship's manifest - had their ages, heights, and amount of money each had when they immigrated. Most worked in the steel mills, and coal mines, my grandfather arriving with $0.08.
Ha! Nope, just popular.
I lust for banana pudding, does that make me evil?
Usually, my desire for banana pudding and consumption of banana pudding do not result in impaired driving that causes me to kill innocent people on the road, nor does my consumption of banana pudding cause me to beat my wife or commit crimes in a drunken stupor.
Alcohol, however, has shown to have a detrimental impact on those things.
Sex? Well if you are spreading your seed around without accountability then I would say that you probably ought to re-think your ways.
Yes, actually. Or at least maybe. It's one of the great sins. Another example: Lust for for food is gluttony and it ruins lives.
You forget pride, which helps drive every other evil impulse. "I want it and deserve it because it fulfills meeeeeeeeee!!! "
That’s a biggie, corporate personhood. WTF?
The PPP IIRC was a creation of one Michael Stanley Dukakis of the longtime single party Commonwealth of Massachusetts. With all the brainpower over at Peenemunde on the Charles AKA Kennedy School, democrats were able to hone their NGO Wunderwaffen into the things they are today
Was that an idol reference?
Without such things, we wouldn't have much culture or much of anything, really. No United States at all. Do you really think "get off my lawn patriots" could have defeated the large Indian tribes? Or even posses of such staunch Yeomen? It is to laugh.
The partnership went bad - as all things can. Even Sauron wasn't bad in the beginning. As Aquinas said, the misuse of something says nothing of thing itself. The dopes are implying that it does.
The South had a real, unique, definable culture. the North had nothing much that they didn't borrow directly from Europe. Hence, Southern music, food, literature, folkways, etc. that are the real America.
Imagine if a "charity" knocked on your door, then held a gun to your head and demanded that you give them a specified amount of money every year or they would blow your brains out. That's called "extortion," but that is exactly what NGOs do--they just get politicians to give them money, then the politicians direct the government to use the police powers of the government to confiscate the money from citizens, either through direct taxation or through the de facto tax caused by inflation. The simple solution is to outlaw government grants to charitable organizations or non-profits altogether. That would signal two things to charities and NGOs--that their operations had better be as efficient and non-partisan as possible, and that their survival depends on convincing American citizens of the value and worthiness of what they are doing.
Let's face it, ANY form of taxation is the government ultimately holding a gun to your head to extort you.
Taxation WITH representation blows. Our representatives have betrayed us and should be held to account for their betrayal.
Oh no, taxes are what we pay for all the good things government does for us.
Right?
Yes. The gods said, Give. Don't want to pay taxes, then tithe ten percent of your income to your Church to take up the slack, too feed the hungry, to take in orphans, to take care of the aged and crazy.
Oh you forget about all that, right? Right?
Even the Church saw the wisdom of a flat tax. Yes, everyone simply tithe 10%.
Although we now have the technology to "crowd fund" every single tax-supported line item.
Not only tithe 10%, but let the people decide what to fund.
Problem solved, but it's too simple.
There were two other tithes, I believe one for widows and orphans; I don't remember the third. If you tax the hell out of people such that they're taxed multiple times for the same thing (e.g., property taxes and inheritance taxes), they generally have trouble paying one tithe. Which government sees as fine, since human government wants to replace God atop the food chain.
Agreed, and well said.
I can't allow myself to think about it too hard, or the rage makes me wanna break stuff.
I feel the same
Excellent, Tee. <3
Yes let them beg for donations
Slow and steady progress back towards the light. I'm encouraged to see the Rules Based Order disintegrating after so many decades. Perhaps the US will be able to return to a period of productivity and flourishing. Australia's long-dormant Liberal Party (traditionally the conservative choice in Aus) will run for election on a Trump-style platform later this year. There is optimism in the air for the first time in a long time. Jim, you've chronicled it all so well. Thank you!
“You funnel vast amounts of US taxpayer dollars into Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, spin off more NGOs below them, and add extra layers of subsidiary NGOs, and all of them pay their staffs of Dem Party foot-soldiers for do-nothing jobs — leaving plenty of time for riots and real-estate investing — a splendid racket that worked for years to support the insane antics of the Woke-Jacobin revolution.”
Otherwise known as racketeering which is a felony.
Alas, the RICO Act has outlived its usefulness. No one at the time could imagine a day when the grift became so big it was incorporated right into governmental (actually public/private symbiosis) operations. But here we are.
One part of that usefulness (if my memory serves) is that no statute of limitations applies if a conspiracy is ongoing. Let's hope!
It was the Mob, period, grifted in with all the other global mobs.
That is why they had to keep the border open, to allow the global Mob to operate in the USA. The DOJ hopefully will go after the Mob in Mexico (the cartels) but I hope they pay some attention to the northern border as the Mob will move to a path of least resistance if a southern crackdown happens successfully. Canada is a relatively free society like the USA and will be a likely target for the Mob.
@ JohnAZ Isthat Arizona? The sister state of cartel corruption with British Columbia? You’re going to probably like heading over to the Absurdistan substack or listen to the 2 episode chat with it’s author Elizabeth Nickson on Kunstler Podcast
The cartels in Canada are interoperative with those from Mexico and have at least more sophisticated control of Canadian government. That’s why our brilliant troller says 51st state… and why the tariffs are on. Canada is a threat to US security
Elizabeth is at least as fun to read as Kunstler. For traditional investigative journalism and technical details the bureau with Sam Cooper.
It is Arizona. The state with Blue governorship that has hundreds of miles of ineffective border patrol due to its Blue hue. The state with a city that is Blue also with a huge contingent of illegals. That drugs run up into Phoenix for distribution, like Denver.
My main beef with Canada, because Trudeau has joined the Liberal globalists against Trump and does not seem to realize that as the USA goes, Canada goes. Especially the West. I saw a proposed map of re-organized North America where the mid-wests and mountain states of both countries join up with the USA South to form a new country, that is Reddish hued, whereas the Northeast USA and Eastern Canada form country number two and the west coasts of both form country number three. The last two are of course Blue. I see possibilities such as the West Coasts allying with China and the East Coast with Europe, against the Heartland.
I think you are right, that areas of Canada are infused with the same evils as the USA. They should be insisting on the USA enforcing its border as much as the USA insists that Mexico enforce their southern border.
Phoenix still has the highest kidnapping rate in the world, right? Especially for attractive young women.
It is 150 miles from the border and loaded with illegals, drugs and trafficking. And 6 million residents. It is rapidly turning Blue, taking the state with it. It does not meet Trump’s footprint at all. Mary, you are seeing the same thing in Boise, it is coming in from the West Coast, Mexico and Canada. If Trump’s plan to get rid of these illegals fails, the West is at risk.
Actually, there had to have been someone at the time that envisioned such a structure of government grift operation, and for some reason the name Soros comes to mind.
He's a Rothschild guy. The tip of one of their spears. He didn't do all that with his own money. Schwab is another tip of a spear.
Is it your opinion that Trump and Mark Carney are essentially in bed together?
Globalist Seized Control of Canada – Mark Carney

He came later, but yes, he no doubt figured it out well.
RICO,RICO,RICO. See what the Dems have done and remember Fani Willis tried to prosecute Trump for RICO for asking the GOP head in Georgia if he could find more votes in 2020. What a total crock the last four years have been.
Dems always accuse you of what they are already doing/have done; otherwise known as “projection”.
Iron law of Confession through Projection
Also a propaganda principle of Josef Geobells
Usually presents along with DARVO - deny attack, reverse victim and offender, braggadocio, claiming virtues they lack, bragging about their crimes and avoiding, ignoring, deprecating, torturing their actual victims.
Cluster B and dark tetrad psychopathologies, academics, lawyers and media propagandists are always key vectors of totalitarian madness
So much more lately! Half their crying rooms are nothing but projectors.
Oh, they are master projectionists.
We need a “national razor” and use it and apply it to all those miscreants
These grifters are not going to go quietly into the night. They will turn the country upside down to preserve their place in power and treasure.
Unfortunately the environment is going to get much worse than better for a period of time.
David Webb the author of The Great Taking did state that once the funds are cut off to these actors, things could return to a more normal state rather quickly. We shall see.
Turn up the violence meter, the Mob will not go quietly into the night. I hope the Secret Service is alert.
I would venture we will not have to deal with as many Rent A Mobs since the rent money is going poof. A warning to those who cannot accept how willing the hard left is to hang on to the 20 of 80/20 issues like secret transitioning of children in schools and refusing to hand over illegal felons to ICE. As Sun Tzu said, "an evil man will allow his country to burn to the ground if it means he can rule over the ashes." Power is all that matters to these freaks, whether over a functioning society or over a dung heap. Just as long as they can rule. They are the very definition of evil.
The rent a mobs are funded, since Charlottesville, by consortiums overseas such as Soros. That money must be blocked from entering the country.
It appears from DOGE that a good bit of the USAID fraud wound up with many Soros related NGO's. These enemies of the Constitution will likely be a whole lot less willing to throw their own money around. I will take a wild leap and say they liked the adulation from funding all these riots and lawfare and liked the popular notion that they were funding all of this from their own pocket, but we now see it was money pried from the working class taxpayer in large measure.
Why overseas? The Rothschilds are in every major Western nation. Money isn't localized at all anymore. But when it was, Communism was funded from Manhattan along with the European capitals. Google Jacob Schiff. His bank is now Chase Manhattan.
That is why the USA government should be trying to disentangle itself from overseas involvement. Bring mfg. home, bring USAID home, reject the machinations of Rothschild/Soros type infiltration, make the USA an economic island again. Eff the world, all they want is our destruction and that includes our neighbors too. America First!!!!!
And last.
Consider "Soros" is a convenient name on the laundromat marquee.
Always keep in mind,they are merely human, and nothing they can do will stop a bullet.
Especially one they'll never hear, from a place they'll never see.
At this juncture there is a glimmer of hope that there is someone in the White House that is representing US.

You're right, Mary. Same as the Praetorian Guard in the US - those that have wet their beaks to a paltry sum of $5MM over their lifetimes. They are the ones who unwittingly defend the status quo, allowing the upper-level raping, robbing and pillaging to go on, to the tune of hundreds of millions and billions of dollars. Same as it ever was.
First the freak wanted to bring in hundreds of thousands of Indians and with chain migration, millions. Now he wants to sell American citizenship. America is just a corporation to him.
And to us, Janos. To Wit: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a corporation.
It all hinges on the propaganda that is most of legacy media. If any of the major outlet's owners care about the survival of these networks and publications without making drastic cuts that send thousands into unemployment then perhaps some of them will pull back on the blatant lying and hysterical fear porn. I won't exactly be holding my breath, especially when it comes to the medical industrial complex, but as some companies keep firing key people and announce deep cuts I can only think those are good signs.
I can’t wait until the prescription drug ad ban! Imagine the useless eaters looking for work then. And anyone in advertising, is a useless eater.
And the sickening thing is the drug company spent $5 billion on advertising last year and I picked up my prescription yesterday for 300 bucks another Pharmacy wanted 5000 ridiculous
Yes. We haven't defeated them at all. Nothing short of martial law would do that. And that begs the question if Trump and Musk can be completely trusted. No reason to thing so.
Mark Warner, not John. I point this out to not correct James, but ensure you all know that he is singularly behind all 'intelligence' wars on you; he enabled every.damn.thing. against Trump the last 10 years.
Senator Mark Warner, Demonrat, Virginia. Do not forget who this vermin is. He was top dawg on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence during the Xiden administration and before.
Correct. There was a John Warner too…senator who was one of Elizabeth Taylor’s husbands.
I pray your correct in assuming all these criminals will find appropriate prosecution. The magnitude of grift needs daily exposure for the citizens to see it on display and permanently bury the party of graft. And some tribunals and mass show trial like the J6 sham might help. I’m too cynical to believe any of these fucktards will be pursued by DOJ. Just wish they could all be hanged.
Remember that the Judicial system, judges, DAs, are still the same group of Leftists and RINOs they were in 2020. The DOJ needs to offset this representation of Soros et al to have any success.
Daily exposure won't happen as the mainstream media still protects the Democrat thugs and grifters. Too many Americans still tune into the nightly news and believe everything they are seeing and hearing. Too many Americans are too damned lazy to do research on anything. They are too busy watching the Bachelor or Desperate Housewives.
Our Christian friend, Cankerpuss.......
His fellow Americans are gullible bums ~ but not him.
All folks with left wing views are traitors.
Lawyers can't be trusted.
All Judges are crooked.
Politicians with views that differ from his are thugs and grifters.
All College Professors are commies.
All Doctors are quacks.
All atheists are assholes....
Have I left any group out? I can't keep up anymore with who he hates. LOL
"You're not allowed to judge but I am" - every religious person ever.
New drinking game: Take a shot every time a Christian brings up "Judge not lest ye be judged" while judging someone.
And that list is pretty accurate
He must nationalize the media and then sell it back to patriotic individuals and parties. No more shooting ourselves in the foot with "freedom of the press" type sedition and slander.
Breaking News: President Trump prepares order to Dismantle the Department of Education."
Last year while Biden was still in White House, my two nieces came home from high school crying. Sobbing uncontrollably, they could hardly tell their father what happened. It seems their "Guidance Counselor" at school told them they must attend "Lesbian /Gender Affirming" classes after school, or they would receive detentions. (Both girls are straight-A students) The girls cried, "Daddy, we are not Lesbian, and we don't want to be"! Needless to say, their father pulled them out of school the next day, and they continued distance learning, which they had been doing on-and-off since Covid.
This is true story from my family. I swear, not an ounce of embellishment or BS added.
Isn't there any cause for a lawsuit there???
Most likely a law suit against the father for supporting the transphobic patriarchy and undermining the stunning and brave efforts to help young girls trapped in the wrong body to free themselves from society's cruel and unreasonable expectations.
"Transphobic patriarchy"? No, more like anti-child mutilation and abuse dude. "Trapped in the wrong body", seriously??? Sounds more like you were trapped without a brain. Good luck w that.
I believe you. This Department is utterly evil and needs to go - unlike some other departments. The John Az types would get rid of the EPA and turn all public lands over to the rapacious corporations.
The identity of every person involved in laundering money to themselves or their friends should be pursued and brought to justice. Nothing less is acceptable!
Also, crazy cane waving Al and all the “singers” in the well during his censure should be removed from their congressional duties. No more grand standing during hearings.
You cannot, they were elected by constituencies. Best thing is ID their true natures to the folks back home to make the minorities understand the corruption of the Dems and what effect it has on them. Read Tritorch’s comment earlier for a good example.
The speaker of the House has the authority to remove any congressman from their duties. He allows them to assume those responsibilities and can remove them for cause. In this case disrupting official duties during the censure.
Best way to handle idiots like this is turn off the lights, cameras, recorders and evacuate the chambers. Eventually they will realize they are singing to themselves, nobody is listening and will disperse. True, it shuts down the House business but who cares? Do we really need the House conducting "business" 24/7? Hell no. I actually breathe a sigh of relief when these fuckers go into recess. At least when they are on recess they can't do any more damage to us.
Far as I am concerned, I hope he throws all of them out permanently.
Al Green was screaming that “Trump does not have a mandate to cut Medicaid”. It hasn’t even been addressed yet.
Tens of millions will die, in their homes or on the streets if the Liberal compact between the American government and the American people is dissolved.
Unfortunately true. That is why Trump, in his words, needs to use a scalpel instead of a hatchet on social programs, withdrawing very slowly, but constantly withdrawing.
Get it, it is a test of the American experiment. Can a nation exist based on individual responsibility and minimum government interference? We have gotten ourselves into this terrible position by following the Leftist carrot on the stick the power hungry Deep Staters have put in front of us. The test is not of the government, it is of us the people. If MAGA has success, it means the USA is viable as the FF wanted. If not? It is a lost cause.
No shock and awe, however as your forecast will be correct. Slow and cautious.
BTW, Musk needs some time off to go work on his Starship that keeps blowing up.
"We await a flood-tide of greatly disturbing revelation and concrete actionable allegation."
One can only hope, I fear that even should these revelations come to light, that nothing will happen. Look at how the Epstein files release has gone (nowhere). The so-called 'blob', while bleeding and reeling, is still very much alive and very much capable of defending itself like some virus that cannot be eradicated. We work within the confines of legitimate governance and bona fide justice. The blob does not, and consequently it can only be defeated through "extraordinary" means. Otherwise, it will only be held at bay for the next 4 years and re-emerge stronger the moment a democrat is in power. As famously stated in the Godfather; let's hit 'em now, while we got the muscle.
Because the Republicans are part of the blob. They profit from government largesse just like the Democrats. The proof? Nothing ever happens to these leaches. Nothing.
Only part of them, the RINOs. Right now, there are two parties in reality, The Deep State and MAGA. The Deep State is the Dems, 100% and the RINOs. They are for central government, period. Four years, maybe two, the parties will be different.
MAGA is Globalist, just like some of the Democrats and Republicans.
Seriously Lugh, I agree with you. BUT, IMHO, I believe Trump has a world view extremely different from the world’s today. I think he believes the world is going to split into three spheres of influence, very different to where it is today. He thinks beyond BRICS+ when Russia and China will split up for ascendancy, THree spheres of influence with the rest of the world jumping on one of them. Late 1900s had two with a Cold WAr the result. That is why I think he is making his unify the North American continent under one “flag”, moves right now. Look at what China is doing right now, exporting people, infrastructure, influence around the world. They tried to buy influence at the Panama Canal and were incensed when an American interest bought both of the ports they were trying to get into their camp. It was interesting that when Trump announced that in the speech, China declared “war” on the USA. The three phase war that Trump is envisioning, IMO, has already started and it has infuriated the traitorous elements in the USA and America’s adversaries overseas that he is doing something about it.
Canada, Greenland and Mexico are going to have to make a decision, support his worldview and form a legitimate economic union under one “flag”, or align with another of the tri-partite economic structure. If the USA loses all of them, we will still be strong but isolated. The rest however become minor players on the word stage as the USA pulls all the manufacturing back into the USA. We are the biggest consumer base of the world. Not Canada, not Mexico, not Greenland. Not China, Russia, Israel or anywhere else. That is what the goal of the tariffs is.
Just read two articles in APPLE+
The first was about Charles 3 response to the tariffs as he is talking to Trudeau, a really good example of Europe, including Britain separating from the US and the second about China worrying about the USA isolating them from world trade. Tri-partite world is coming.
What about Phil's point: That Canada, even though a Socialist crap hole, hasn't done anything that bad to us. It certainly doesn't deserve to be destroyed by Trump's economic offensive. One is reminded of the old headline: Judea declares war on Germany - economic war that is.
Don’t care. Trump stands for America first. He also stands for what he sees in the future, Canada does not mean anything for America in he future. Phil doesn’t like that one iota and if sides were reversed I wouldn’t either. Trump sees what China is doing throughout the world and is throwing the gauntlet at them. China and Mexico have been way to buddy buddy with China with China’s desire to destroy the USA with drugs and invasion. Canada, under Trudeau, has assisted Biden’s gang to allow the destruction of America’s morality and just good sense. Trump is going to destroy every vestige of the China takeover of North America, period. China is invading Canada from the west, the US from the West Coast and Mexico in conjunction with the cartels. Panama had a near miss, on the way to Chinese control on both oceans, until US interests bought both ports. China was so incensed by that they declared war on the USA, economic for now, during Trump’s speech when he announced the change in Panama. Did you know that China has been manipulating with Denmark about access to Greenland? Look around the globe and look what China is doing to diminish the USA. People like Phil probably want the USA to go under, I wonder if it even wonder what living under Chinese rule would be like?
Trump sees it all coming and is trying very hard to shut it down. Success in Panama is good. Now, shutting down the southern border is crucial, especially in SoCal to keep further Chinese invaders out. Canada, AT, (after Trudeau) will be facing the same thing in British Columbia. They will be asking the USA for help at that time and we will give it. Always a sucker for sad sacks.
Poor Mexico will be dying in its own cartel shit when they no longer have access through the border. A real possibility of war exists here when the Mexican government can do nothing to stem the tide of encroaching immigrants bought and paid for by guess who? China in the lead, IMHO.
I believe Trump and his advisors see this all coming and much of his foreign policy is aimed at offsetting it. He wants the Ukaine thing over and done with as the “guns” need to be aimed at China. Africa is becoming “owned” by the Chinese, and they are moving onto the Middle East.
If I was you I would not be worrying too much about Israel and a lot more about our Asian friends. They really can take over the world without firing a shot.
If America conquered the world, would it still be America? We REFRAINED from taking Mexico even when it was prostrate at our feet. We didn't want to breed with them, to become them.
Mexico AND Canada have been too buddy buddy with China.
"We work within the confines of legitimate governance and bona fide justice. The blob does not, and consequently it can only be defeated through "extraordinary" means." Well said and therein lies the rub. From what I know of our President, he plays the long game. Fingers crossed. 🤞
My guess is that they all have dirt on each other. “I’ll keep quiet if you keep quiet.” The ‘Epstein files’ will come to nought.
Yes, it's now or never. Fire all of them and start over. Some can be rehired I assume.
Ghouls for sure
This is only one facet of "The Great Taking". So when will those culpable and complicit be placed in cuffs and lead away to prison eh? There is a litany of crimes here. Sheldon Whitehouse and his wife come to mind, with the fraudulent "ocean conservancy" foundation. Sheldon votes for the legislation that passes and then funds his wife's foundation? How the FK does that continue going on for years with no one saying boo??? This crook and his wife amassed millions with this racket while the state of RI became a stinking shit-hole sewer state.
And Hunter Biden is crying poormouth! Says he's broke because of his legal expenses, the loss of his home in Malibu (which is actually still standing), and the decline in his book and "art" sales.
Burn in hell, motherfucker.
I recall an instance where Hunter took a $55,000 charter flight to go to a child support hearing to claim he didn't have enough money to pay child support. That is a special kind of hubris!
Yeah, absolutely, and I remember that. It's about time he got Arkancided.
Ha, Fox just said that his sale of his art has collapsed since Biden was thrown out.
Hahahahahahahahaha! Surprise, I wonder how all those buyers feel today, worse than the stock market.
BTW, whatever happened to the Burisma money and the cash from China? Even Obama made millions from the taxpayers, wha’ happened?
I suspect a heavy coke problem.
Look closer. That's an actor and has been for quite sometime. OG Hunter is long gone. HRC too.

I love it. Keep whispering those sweet nothings in my ear.
Life is tough.
...mutual aid society....Suggest a 0400 unannounced wake up, a ride to the Potomac and a fitting for concrete shoes.
Sooner or later, as people see there is no justice meted out to those who've ruined their lives, the lives of their loved ones, who are allowed to kill and steal with impunity, some are going to take matters in their own hands. I think this is what's desired by the PTB. It's a tribute to their restraint that it hasn't happened yet.
Works for me.
Wow. I'm going to use this masterpiece of vivid literary explication to attempt to explain what's happened, to a few people still ensconced in PBS/Atlantic Media, but nevertheless with still-plastic minds.
Good luck, and expect to be called a "conspiracy theorist," "racist-bigot," and "transphobe."
We've already been there.
