". . . the fake news isn’t reporting on Operation Arctic Frost. It’s not that they’re trying to cover it up. . . but that they actually think it was totally normal and legitimate." — Hans Mahncke
If the pace of indictments doesn’t pick up significantly, people are going to view this administration as collaborators. Why did they not begin with dismissal of virtually ALL personnel in decision-making positions within DOJ, FBI, and HHS - and then decide on re—staffing after vetting?
Trump and the DOJ are methodically tightening the noose around the necks of those behind the nearly decade-long insurrection. The key distinction in GOP operations versus Democrats is their commitment to building airtight cases strictly within the law—a process that inherently demands time. Patience will be required to see it through, until their skulls are displayed on a rack akin to the tzompantli of Tenochtitlan.
Are they? I think you are mistaken. The appearance of noose tightening is to keep the uninformed MAGA base happy in belief that Trump is saving them from evil democrats. He surely is not. He needs happy talk on the domestic issues while doing very little about it to hide his egregious foreign policy gaffes and pure stupidity in service to his cabinet of Zionist elites.
Ah, a pre-Shabat jew hater. What's new? And what's this about Trump's "egregious foreign policy gaffes"? Are you paying any attention, or is it that you just don't comprehend reality?
One need not "hate" Jews to oppose Miriam Adelson, Ezzy. Give your head a shake.

Uh ... RussoUkraine War, Supporting genocide in Gaza, going rogue slaughtering innocents in cigarette boats in the Carib, threatening war with Venezuela, giving money he hasn't got to oligarchs in Argentina (to decimate US ranchers!), existentially threatening Canada & Greenland, starting a trade war with ... earth! Need I go on?
Please do pay better attention if you plan on posting on a geopolitical blog. Thank you.
What a bizarre strawman, Lugh. Of course the US has an enormous drug problem. TPTB have seen to that.
The US slaughtering small groups of men boating between Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago (in cigarette boats that Miami is out of range by 5-10x!) on absolutely no legal grounds whatsoever (and sketchy, at best, allegations) in order to gin up a war of conquest for oil and rare-earth metals is unacceptable behaviour to me and I believe that, given my research, facts, observations, logic, analysis, conclusions and commentary, some other people may agree and start their path towards rejecting the mark.
I'm here, risking the wrath of Big Brother, to try my best to save souls.
That, to me and God, is real discourse.

Of course "real discourse is possible." If you're dealing with a group of people who cannot counter what I post with their research, facts, observations, logic, analysis, conclusions and commentary then, it seems to me, that I'm mainly right.
Yes, Lil Trumpsters, he is in on it. There is no Santa Claus. Fink, Gates, Bourla, Thiel, Ellison, Altman, Zuck, Musk, Bezos, et al. ... these men now openly laugh in our faces.

"Galaxy Brain"? Really? You've devolved into name-calling ad homs?
You used to be SO above that. Orders of magnitude. What happened to ya, man?
"Appearance" of noose tightening seems to be part of the Script. After all, Deep State and Blob are just vague references to the Puppet Masters behind the scenes, directing ALL the public figures in Washington DC and throughout the Land.
From the Big Picture POV, it seems to me that the script calls for the downfall of the US as a symbol of freedom, and that goal appears to be coming along to fruition. The rigged elections installing Insane Leaders in the Blue Cities only makes sense if the goal is to destroy the urban areas while ignoring 4th grade arithmetic.
What lies ahead is a different flavor of The Long Emergency - not crises resulting from just resource depletion and a collapsing economy, but crises also pushed along by nefarious meddling. The most serious problems and predicaments in the pipeline will be when things begin to veer well off the track of the Script, and unforeseen chaos is the result. The arrival of these Black Swans will not be pleasant.
Yes, body language experts all agree that Kash and Bongo were terrified as they said Epstein wasn't murdered. Not just lying, but terrified. It was a hostage video.
"Trump and the DOJ are methodically tightening the noose around the necks of those behind the nearly decade-long insurrection."
Indeed! And Santa's elves are busy, busy, busy making toys for all of the good boys & girls up at the North Pole because it is now less than eight weeks 'til Christmas. Now: pee, a glass of water and right back to bed, Little Mister!
If the pace doesn't pick up, the bullets-flying-in-100-cities - goes kinetic right after Election Day. Trump has to make them endlessly on the defensive - and he's NOT. He's either the worst advised President - or, complicit ( and his completely-in-denial refusal to look at Charlie Kirk's true assassins - suggest the latter).
i heard there was no autopsy. nothings been released and the judge put a gag order on anybody and everybody who may or may not have seen something or anything. so we better shut up. and the boy/girl friend's missing.
CP - releasing my personal report: Professional hit. Shot from behind, low caliber weapon. Shot from above right shoulder, trajectory down. Entry just below right ear, exiting front lower left neck. Video is an exit wound, not an entry wound. Cui bono?
And the next round of indictments and prosecutions have to take place in sympathetic jurisdictions. Don't expect anything to come of the Comey and Fat Leticia indictments in the Eastern District of Virginia or the Bolton indictment in Maryland. No jury in those districts will convict any of them, despite overwhelming evidence of guilt.
The Dems may still be able to sabotage MAGA, & thus derail the accountability that must happen. If it's derailed then the injustice of it will damage America irredeemably, and it's by no means improbable. The Dems are doing all they can, literally all they legally (& illegally) can to bring that about. Plus there's all of Trump's erratic behavior in the past month, it's looking not especially encouraging.
Bureaucracy is not a business. Nothing would be lost if most of their activities were put on hold during a reevaluation. You could shit-can most people working for HHS tomorrow and nothing would be lost. And as for the FBI …. the majority of them seem to be sympathetic to the civilizational vandals.
Says someone who has clearly never run and business...you cannot fire everyone at once. You end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It has to be done systematically.
Amen. I believe the last time any of these monsters went to prison was in the 1970s and 1980s. Politicians and all of these other demons have been getting away with murder for decades...
Perhaps we should refresh our collective memories that Halloween is a holiday (akin to Christmas Eve) as All Hallows’ Eve to prepare to celebrate All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Remembering the virtuous souls who have passed is not and should not be a ghoulish free-for-all. It is a yearly reminder for everyone to contemplate their certain entrance into eternity which, of course, lends encouragement to live one’s life purpose to the fullest.
Actually "Halloween"'s roots are much older than that. It started among Celtic tribes before Jesus was born and was called Samhain. It was a time of rememberance of those who had died. Candles were put out in turnips so the dead could see and find their way when they visited their loved ones who were still alive.
Good catch! You are correct. I edited my original post to correct my momentary memory lapse. Instead of “began,” I used “is.” As you know, the Catholic Church repurposed pagan holidays to assist the conversion of souls. Sometime in the 9th century, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day were moved to November 1 and 2. Then Samhain (October 31) was renamed as All Hallows’ Eve.
Ha, for all the Outlander folks, Samhain is when Claire went through the stones the first time. Remember the women from the village doing their Celtic Druid dance on the day.
MB: So, everybody began to believe it. And why wouldn't they believe it considering that Israel runs the the a global assassination machine that kills anyone perceived as a threat? Uh former uh Mossad director Yosi Cohen said in a recent interview in English that Israel has infiltrated uh cell phone devices and other communication devices in every country in the world. They've not only infiltrated them, they've tampered with them as they did with the pagers that were turned into exploding terror devices in Lebanon. I mean, they're openly boasting about it. So, why wouldn't people have these suspicions?
AN: Let me get this uh straight. The FBI is afraid to have a team of professional investigators conduct a companion investigation to theirs to see if [accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler] Robinson was a patsy for or otherwise influenced by a foreign government. They're not interested in the American public. The FBI is not interested in the American public knowing an answer to that.[?]
MB: Yes. And this is this is the deep state that Donald Trump's claim to campaign against. The deep state's in control. The civilian authorities who are US intelligence veterans, FBI veterans who are in a civilian acting in a civilian capacity are not allowed in the room. They're being frozen out as as they were, by the way, during the run-up to the US bombing of Iran on Israel's behalf. like the same thing. Only the Mossad stenographers were allowed in the room. Only the the sort of deep state figures.
AN: You know, you alluded to this earlier and and it's now uh resonating with me.

Trump does not oppose the Deep State, silly. His administration is ran by them.

The "veil" is (also) the thick curtain in the Jewish Temple, which was "rent in twain" (torn in two) from top to bottom. At the same time, there was an earthquake, and many graves were opened, from which the bodies of "saints" (holy people) arose and came out after Jesus' resurrection to appear to people in the holy city.
The birth of Christ was a landing in a war zone. Think Normandy Beach. But the Divine Invasion has been beaten back and has lost most of the ground it gained.
Samhain marks the last of the year's four cross-quarter festivals in the Wheel of the Year, celebrated by many in Neopagan and Wiccan traditions. Positioned between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, it serves as a time to honor and remember the deceased.
Excellent Post. Unfortunately humanity excels at destroying everything in the name of the all mighty dollar. Everything. I hate money. Heaven would be, to me, living in a society where there is no money. Like Star Trek. If only.....
Re the over-the-top Halloween grotesquerie, it is remarkable how gruesome the displays are becoming; also a bit odd to see such ghoulishness in the land of "Stay Safe!" and micro-aggressions and hyper-triggerable neurotics--because some of these displays (replacing Ukraine flags for the month) do indeed spray the young'uns with weird vibes and gore (as with drag queen story hours in the public library).
And yet at the same time they cannot bear to see a creche or the Holy Family under a Christmas tree, or a menorah in a window, or any and all mention of God. If some little girl dressed up as an angel, she would probably be pelted to the pavement by "fun size" Snickers bars.
When I was a kid (a long time ago), Halloween and trick or treating was a lot of fun (and it still is for most kids), yet the next day, for my family at least, we went to church for All Soul's Day. What seems to be happening now, and what JHK and others are pointing out, is that the after Halloween, there is not the counterbalancing return of the forces of light. After carnival, the restoration of order. In all things, balance is needed (so says both Western and Eastern traditions)--go too far one way, it's lights out.
I want to see the indictments and prosecutions. I was a fan of the NGO defunding but it’s time to get serious. This kind of abuse of the system only stops when the people with money and influence start seeing the insides of cells.
The only positive step that can happen now is if they are all rolled up and subject to military tribunals. If its just some low level court procedure, don't even bother.
You are forgetting something, nearly half of the country's people today are dependent and think that these people are righteous. That is why, IMHO, separation is necessary.
I'm still waiting for clarification on this, John.
You claim, in Trump 47, that the USA will swallow Canada and Greenland (forming the NAU) ... but also claim that the USA will split first. How can all this happen in just three years? It seemingly makes no fucking sense.
They can’t be allowed to drag all this out to escape accountability, that’s for sure. And let’s not forget the court martial proceedings for the military officers. Generals and admirals in cuffs would send a strong message about civilian control of the military!
"Generals and admirals in cuffs" - Hey! That's what needs to happen vis-a-vis the US military slaughtering over 60 people in cigarette boats off the coast of Venezuela.
-----
The USA has become a murderous rogue nation ... but few care.
The Dems are walking into it. Once the cities begin to burn, Trump has a green light for a military coup. If he doesn't take it, he's not the Man on the White Horse.
Our neighbor for many years and now starts in early September building his ghoulish monument to the evil day. His display depicts every gross figures of death destruction and, evil one can imagine. Plus he has built little sheds to walk through with gross figures hanging the most evil figures is a large bloody human holding a headless bloody child upside down. This is pure evil! I pray for God to burn it down. I pray the parents run away and do not let their children anywhere near this evil. The culture of death is no so overt now people don’t even see it anymore.
We have lesbian neighbors 3 doors down who build an elaborate display every year using old baby dolls - their property is a huge garden that covers 3 lots. The display is extremely gruesome and neighbors complained so they put warning signs on the sidewalks so you can avoid it. This year they went full-on with their man-hating and have a full sized male "doll" that is being tortured by babies. Extra limbs on his and so-forth. There's also giant spider webs with babies caught in them.
These women are always cold to me because I'm a "breeder" and they're the same to any other mother in the neighborhood.
Deana, this is solely representative of when unlimited freedoms and liberty becomes an idol. You kick out God out of your nations moral foundations and from the town square and you will get the above. The end result of this will lead to the 4th reich (which was pre-figured in the entire Covid operation).
During the Haitian rebellion, the Blacks used a dead White baby as their standard. Jefferson met some of the White refugees of the genocide. An utterly vile nation that deserves the evil that has come back to it ten fold.
From Psalm 11: [2] for lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; [3] if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do"?
God answers this rhetorical question in verse 5:
[5] The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,and his soul hates him that loves violence. [6] On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
Since we are a nation that for the most part has lost its cohanes as men who take action, we are in a very precarious place in history.
Yes, agree. As you say, it seems to start earlier and earlier each year. Many people I've heard about and in real life start right in after school starts. Even heard of some that keep their place that way year round. It's like they can't wait to immerse their mind in the concept. Supporting the whole death-cult vibe he was discussing.
Glubb Pasha, i.e. Gen. John Glubb, saw a pattern indicating that empires tended to collapse after 250 years. 2026 is 250 years after the founding of the USA in 1776.
This is a good observation. 250 years of the Constitution. almost. The Ult-Left's goal is the dissolution of the country to be under the control of globalists. They are traitors to the Constitution, period. The trinamic trio ( Bernie, AOC and Mamdani) should be swinging under a gallows tree, not campaigning to socialize the country.
Remember, ultimately it is the people.
Sidebar - Are 45% of the public guilty of treason for voting for these traitors.
Officers of the Federal government take an oath "to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic". Do these traitors to the Constitution qualify as domestic enemies?
Absolutely These people are Not only Traitors, but Enemy Combatants! And Most Definitely Need to be swinging from the Gallows! After All, that Is Certainly Their Intent for Us!!
I've Sworn an Oath to This Nation Twice, and Very well versed in the Constitution, and frankly, I Don't Understand why We the People Can't Round up these America Hating Leftist Marxist Nazi POS and simply be Done with It!
These people are Openly Traitors and Call Openly for Our Destruction, and the Constitution is Very Clear on Our Right to Preserve Our Republic!
Is it empires or democracies that tend to follow the 250 year time line? I think it's democracies how else do you explain the long run of empires prior to the so-called post modern period.
Thank God, the United States of America is Not a "Democracy' but a Constitutional Republic!
Out Founding Fathers were No Fools! Democracy as the National Socialist Party means it,is Mob Rule!
Phuk That! I Don't care to live in a Country where I loose My Rights because 51% of the Idiots say so. I, We are Sovereign Citizens, Each one of us have Our God Given Rights by God, Not by Government or Men.
It's going to be one Hell of a Blood Bath when the Leftist Marxist POS Try and Force America to Except Their Bravo Sierra!💯
If only, Kevin. I wish we were still adhering to the constitution faithfully, but we haven't for years. Both sides at fault and the politicos along with their operatives and donors killed it. If we were still abiding by the constitution we wouldn't be aiding and abetting war in Central Europe or Gaza.
Regimes in general. Most Chinese and Egyptian dynasties didn't last beyond 250 years. There are exceptions. But yes, the Dynasty went down, but the Culture survived and after a period of chaos, a new Dynasty would rise. This went on for thousands of years. Western Culture never united so much, but we have continued for thousands of years, though our future is now threatened because of globalism and mass 3rd world immigration. In a word, the treason of our elites.
Thanks for your comment on the subject. Those were dynasties within an empire. The US wasn't supposed to have dynasties not withstanding all attempts to create one like the Kennedy's, or Rockefeller's. How can anyone forget 2008 and the triumphalism of the Democrats thinking they would rule forever. I think by culture when speaking of the West you really mean civilization. In Europe you find dynasties within a culture and civilization and they were the cause of all conflicts of the modern world. The USA is now the one who is driving conflict everywhere. Our culture is not surviving it is collapsing under the weight of multiculturalism and this is all over the West. I concur there is treason among the elite and they by virtue of their money and the power that gives them can do what they want as long as they keep the political class fat, dumb, and happy with bribes and corruption. The proles are always the ones who suffer.

Congratulations on your new book! Amazon tells me I'm getting it today. Unless the Democrat ghouls take it as their Halloween candy. Personally, I've always liked The Day of the Dead more because it's about communing with the spirits of those who've passed before us. And I think we we've seen evidence of some pretty powerful spirits on Trump's side this week, so I'd rather say thank you to the ghosts of America when it was great for not giving up on us trying to make it great again.
The Left clearly wants to provoke Trump to do something, like invoke the Insurrection Act, so they can wail, “See! He IS a Dictator!” That’s their plan.
They are pushing, pushing, pushing the envelope toward that end, ginning up their anarchists and mentally deranged believers into a frenzy toward that end.
There will soon be a catalyst that will occur, however. They’ve unleashed their hounds but they don’t have complete control.
Push is coming to shove.
What that will look like, and what it will result in is anybody’s guess right now.
One things for sure, things are going to get a hell of lot worse, before they even begin to get better.
If the MAGA crowd was protesting and the dems were in control, the dems would design a clever plan to incite the protesters by tearing down barriers and shooting incendiary devices into the crowd. They are evil and cunning.
During reconstruction, the Yankees outlawed gun clubs, militias, hunting clubs, etc. in the South. Many of the men mockingly re-named their club as a gardening club or sewing club.
That's exactly what the original Antifa did in Germany in the 1930s, with snipers to shoot the police and into the crowd - hundreds died in their Rotfront riots.
If Trump was a dictator, he had the perfect opportunity to do so on the venue of his Presidential acceptance speech. All of his enemies were right there sitting in front of him. He called them out but thats all. However that said, time for action otherwise this nation is heading for a one way trip to Jacobinism.
Totally. Wouldn’t it have been beyond surreal if on that day, right then and there, he’d had them all arrested!?
Alas, only in the movies I guess.
I’m wondering if our DoJ and FBI are getting sidetracked from within by subversives still lingering in there. They’re doing “a lot”, but it doesn’t seem focused in the right direction.
Indeed, indeed! I am a firm believer that if we are going to get out of this situation unscathed as a nation, its going to be only through national Christian repentance and massive prayer to the God of Heaven through his Son's name. Prayer for mercy since we dont deserve it.
Call their bluff. Do it. Crush them. Who cares what they say? The media won't be in their hands any more, you see. Nationalize the media and then after emergency is over, sell it back to decent groups. Keep one network for the government.
A writer, with whom I've communicated in the past, once related to me that he took a trip through Mexico and Central America visiting museums that held vast troves of Aztec and Mayan artifacts. In several of the museums were various tools used for butchering humans. The tools were of different sizes. The tour guide showed him the ones used for butchering adults. the ones used for butchering children and the tiny tools used for butchering babies, including the smallest tools used for scraping the brain matter out of the skulls of the babies.
Praise God for Cortez and the Christian men who put an end to this savage brutality.
I've also seen some of these crude displays in the museums in Mexico City, as well as similar barbaric tools and methods at a site along the Yangtze River in China. It seems there's a never-ending battle between good and evil.
When the Crusaders took back Spain, they knew they were fighting both the Muslims and the Jews. After all, the Jews and the Muslims had worked together in the conquest of Spain.
This is why I see a resounding difference between those who have only one allele for hair/eye color, black and brown, and those who have 124 alleles, the White peoples.
We are Creation's intent and Gaia's goal per the Design - our unique difference makes us simply more resistant to the driving background force animating the cruelty of such peoples as the Joshuas, the Aztecs, or the Chinese. It is this difference that they envy and lust for, as the Fair Flowers are their only escape from the Wheel. The best word for the one-alleles is: vulnerable.
It is why the Joshuas' dark ancestors took Eves to mate, in order to harvest the power of Eve's people. Their retained their tribal acuity and ferocity, while leavened by an autistic amount of White intelligence - smart enough to be truly dangerous. (And grown increasingly pale of skin.)
No coincidence that the Religious Belt wherein our modern major religions arose from the Nile to the Indus were also the same sojourns made by the Aryan peoples - in Sumer and the Levant arose a one such mixed branch, in Kashmir arose another, the Brahmins, both are competitors to each other and to us. Theirs was simply too great a genetic bridge to cross.
I believe this practice came over from the middle east, along with the pyramids (what the bible calls the high places), when the remnants of those Joshua chased out of the promised land came to the Americas. The depictions of them show them to have semitic features.
Strongly agree, except I say it was the practice of the Joshuas who followed or came along with the Minoan and Phoenician fleets, just as they falsely accused the poor Molochites and later, Carthaginian Punics (Phoenicians) with what they themselves were doing in secret. A carbon copy of Mesopotamian civilization arising independently in South America amidst its jungle savages is not credible.
The Mexica (Aztecs) were said to have come from the swamps to the east bringing nothing but themselves. Not the builders, only the invaders - same as they were to the Canaanite lands of milk and honey (or earlier, to Dilma and Ur, or to Egypt) - there is no example of Hebraic architecture anywhere in the Middle East. They capture, but they do not build as we do.
He never swore, nor cursed, nor used hard words. He was famous for it. He was robbed of his fortune by two officials of the Church.
What drove colonization in the first place was the incredible war debt already held by Spain (and Portugal, and every Western country) - the fleets were an attempt to address that debt to the lenders. Spain actually got the smaller share of the loot, which was expended over the next centuries in further turf battles with the British and Muslims.
Although the 400 years of Spice Wars reignited our ancient Greco-Roman urge to technological innovation in a science war, the Industrial Revolution was bankrupted in Spain before it had a chance to flower. The only winners in the end were the banks.
That debt is also what drove the excesses of colonization - hard, rough men, as managers in dangerous lands, were increasingly put upon by distant executives who measured only the values they could count in a ledger, promising only further exile or punishment should the explorers not meet the heartless, greedy quotas.
The Aztec priests were terrified that Cortez was Quetzocoatl, returned to punish them for perverting his religion of love. You see Otohimho, offering your heart up to God (symbolized by the sun) is not the same as cutting someone else's heart out and holding it up to the sun.
Wonderfully, what drove their conversion was the music - the natives had never heard such harmonies and chorals, and flocked to the churches, to the point of waiting in the rain for three days for the music to begin.
Adept with stone and wood, they began building copies of the church for themselves next to it, and to fashion fine instruments the equal of the Europeans' own; so many people wanted to be in the band that King Phillip had to ban all new musicians' groups, else nobody would have gone to work.
To add another bloody, tortured god to their pantheon was the simplest of things - it was with music that the Church conquered the savage breast.
Every see those rosary candles with the rent breast and exposed heart of Jesus surrounded by thorns? Well, now you know why that image resonates with the Azteca.
And a God who offered up His flesh rather than their own? In every town were large wooden cages with men and women - a high-born customer could point to their selection, and the priest would butcher and dress the night's meal on the spot.
The DSA can be counted on to attract those with low-IQs but a hefty dose of narcissism.
The DSA members on the Portland City Clowncil had to be schooled a couple of weeks ago by the county assessor so they could understand "tax compression."
See last July, the U.S. Bancorp Tower in downtown PDX, ("Big Pink") sold for just $45 million. Down from the $373 million paid in 2015. The sale reduced the amount of tax the city can collect by 68% from $2.7 million in 2024 to $860,297 this year.
The DSA members couldn't understand why this happened. So stupid they had to be taught a lesson in how taxation works.
So these geniuses just can't comprehend that it's their policies that repel businesses and this has consequences. Without "other people's money" their stupid ideas come in stark relief.
The gradual, but escalating of late, replacement of Christmas, with its glorious Christian promise of eventual salvation and eternal happiness with the cult of death worshiping, nihilistic Hallowe'en is emblematic of our decline from a God elevating and worshiping culture to one that ends inevitably in destruction and misery. I hate hallowe'en. I pity the deluded dupes who think it is "only in fun," or an excuse to throw a party, or worst of all, something "the kids" can enjoy. The comparison of contemporary American culture with that of the Aztecs is apt, except we far out-do the Aztecs in our killing, both in magnitude of victims as well as in the callousness with which we dispatch them. Burning, tearing and suctioning out human beings from the intended sanctuary of a mother's womb is the height of barbarism. And we don't even do it to honor or placate some supposed "deity." No, we do it in the name of things like "reproductive freedom," or worse, the mere convenience of the mother. AS Billy Graham said, if God does not judge America He will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
My prediction: Most of the guilty are unlikely to even see the inside of a courtroom. We'll spend four years investigating, bloviating, and blathering, and in the end, only a token number of small fry will receive slaps on the wrist. Nothing of significance will be suffered by any the big names we all know.
Mr. Bill---Sadly, I agree. I am not sure whether the small fry even have anything to be afraid of. If anyone with an R behind their name had done anything remotely coming close to the equivalent, the MSM would be going 24/7 with hand wringing and demands for indictments but.......since these people were effectively trying to instigate a coup against Trump and his few allies, it is all ok because these criminal D people were saving us from a fascist (which most of the left could not give a credible answer if they were asked to define fascism)
Hell, we cannot even get the media to report the truth on all of the scumbags in the D party that tried to illegally claim 2nd or 3rd or 4th homes as their primary residence. Pretty easy to prove if that is what they claimed----all you have to do is look at the docs to see if that box is checked but all most of our media says is that Trump is going after those that were trying to nail his hide to the side of the barn. None of these people will even have to pay a fine or face jail time even tho if you or I did it, there would be no mercy.
I wish I had the answer but......we may just need to accept we are screwed and any chance of justice is impossible so.....get over it.
Not screwed - we may not get the satisfaction of retribution, revenge, or reparation, but we've already gotten our benefits. What needs be is that we break the Money Power system before it afflicts our children - they have not the tools, I wouldst not see my lineage as eternal slaves. We are already past, our satisfaction matters not.
Not sure, 🤔 but they broke the leg on the stool with the Assassination of JFK the next leg they kicked out was the Removal/ set up of President Nixon. Can’t decide if the Creation of Barry Obama or whatever his real name is was the third leg on the stool they broke or was it the pre Planned Pandemic for their 2020 Election Steal, with the J6 rap around!
We don’t have a stool leg left to brake any more, and little time to end this attack against our Constitutional Republic and our Rights and Liberties!
I live in southern California near the San Jacinto mountains and I have noticed less emphasis on Halloween this year. I am also an online teacher, and I have also observed less fixation with Halloween. Almost as if everyone was 'Halloweened-out." I don't know if this is universal, but it's my impression.
Very true. Seems like they skipped Labor Day, Halloween and T-Giving. WalMart is full-on Christmas and I saw the first fa-la-la jingle bells Christmas commercial 2 weeks ago during an NFL game.
But I doubt if they will skip "Black Friday" or the festive new "Amazon Prime" day invented by Jeff Bezos. Even if people have no money they will continue to try and squeeze blood from a rock.
My wife and I always limited the amount of garbage our kids ingested, but now I'm noticing that even normie parents are starting to catch on that their kids shouldn't be eating 500 grams of sugar per day. Maybe that is some of the decline in Halloween.
It could be. The absence of enthusiasm for Halloween is palpable. No one seems to talk about it. There are a lot of Christian churches in this area. Something is working!
I think that fact that the quality of life in the US has declined so precipitously that it now resembles one of these ghoulish displays has people a tad shaken. Why display a fake bloodbath in your front yard, when you can drive through town and see a real one?
The steep decline is certainly mirrored in this valley. When we moved here six years ago, there were beautiful landscapes of hills fading into the mountaintops. Now there are ugly miles upon miles of 600,000 to 700000 bargain homes lining the highways. Homeless are everywhere in the older parts of town. You could once escape to the mountains, but wokeness has even crept into the mountain areas.
Hallowe'en, that child-centered, candy filled "holiday " has morphed into a true horror day.
The reason for that is not clear, but I expect the 60's, with Charles Manson, political assassinations, and various other depravities, is in there somewhere. America changed, and not for the better. And it's kept changing for the worse.
What will change it back? There's never any going back, just going forward. I hope future generations find the path. Or there will never be another generation of Innocence.
As Aragorn told Barliman, Half a days march from here are enemies who would freeze your mind. Now those enemies are half a block away. Think of the evil lesbians described above.
Scroll through Kunstler’s comment threads and you see them: the anxious, the aggrieved, the outraged. They are not readers; they are witnesses to a civilization they believe is collapsing under the weight of diversity, democracy, and “globalist” plots. Their language is apocalyptic, their metaphors ghoulish, their certainties brittle yet rigid. They describe conspiracies with the care of theologians, imagining tzompantlis of the 21st century, and they cheer at every imagined triumph of retribution.
They are a people whose imagination has been colonized by fear. Everything is evidence: an election, a mayoral appointment, a Halloween display becomes proof of moral decay. Every public figure they dislike is not a politician or policymaker; they are an agent of apocalypse. They map morality onto identity, and power onto skin tone, nationality, and ideology. Their compass points only to outrage, and their horizon is eternally aflame.
Yet there is a cruel irony. For all the violence they fantasize about — bullets in the streets, tribunals for generals, conspiracies crushed beneath righteous hands — their action rarely leaves the keyboard. The theater of threat is sufficient; performance is the currency of power. They inhabit a world in which the loudest, most extreme statements are treated as acts of courage. Writing “Bravo!” to a virtual pronouncement of impending catastrophe becomes a substitute for participation, a ritual that simulates control in a life where real agency feels distant or denied.
Their minds are trained to see victimhood and heroism as co-terminous. The past is a shrine, the present a battlefield, the future a void. Every injustice real or imagined is a call to arms — but the arms are words, clicks, and likes. Rage is the highest form of engagement, fear the most vivid proof of relevance. And Kunstler, like a conductor in a hall of mirrors, ensures the echo of panic is endless. He provides the narrative scaffolding for a population that consumes moral terror as sustenance.
These are not revolutionaries. They are not builders, organizers, citizens. They are spectators in a digital coliseum, applauding the collapse they imagine, taking pride in their prescience, yet rarely touching the civic world beyond the glow of the screen. Their devotion is performative, their courage virtual, their stakes largely symbolic.
And still, the danger is not in what they do but in what they believe. Belief shapes behavior, even when it does not pass the threshold of action. The energy they pour into fear, into paranoia, into “truths” that justify inaction or hatred, warps perception. It hardens social bonds around grievance and fantasy. It teaches them to see empathy as weakness and reality as a trick. This is the quiet power of Kunstler’s audience: they are an army of eyes, always watching, always fearful, ever rehearsing a catastrophe that may never arrive — yet which governs the shape of their world.
The question is not whether they will act violently tomorrow, but whether the lens of dread through which they see the world will corrode their own capacity to live in it fully.
While you are crazy woman, your words provide a reality check in that those who oppose the communist leftists, are in general, not yet willing to do what is required to win this battle—unlike the hard core communist globalist brown shirt fodder who are engaged and out in the street fighting for their ideology.
rd3, read yourself carefully. You responded to me with certainties, not arguments: “It is doom. It’s an abomination.” You did not pause to engage her reasoning, nor consider evidence. You did not ask how communities survive, adapt, or grow. You did what Kunstler has trained you to do: you consumed fear, amplified it, and returned it as ritual affirmation.
Your claim that the conquistadors were “saviors” of “savages” is not a historical argument. It is a moral rehearsal, a justification of violence through the fantasy of righteousness. It is a performance, and like all performances, it demands an audience. That audience exists: Kunstler’s disciples, his loyal readers, who gather in comment threads as if in a digital cathedral, seeking affirmation for grievances, permission to interpret difference as danger, and comfort in paranoia.
Do you see it? You are not debating, you are congregating. You are not reasoning, you are repeating. The applause you receive—likes, echoes, agreement—is the lifeblood of the cult. Every “doom” you proclaim, every ancestral accusation you make, reinforces a worldview where empathy is weakness, diversity is catastrophe, and human complexity is erased in favor of moral absolutes.
And yet, what power do you wield? None beyond the screen. The apocalypse you warn of exists entirely in your imagination and the shared delusions of this online fellowship. You fantasize about threats and righteous violence, but you remain safely behind keyboards. Your action, for all its moral certainty, rarely leaves the digital sphere. This is the nature of the cult Kunstler has assembled: fear and grievance as performance, rage as ritual, reality reduced to commentary.
rd3, take a moment. Look at the congregation you serve. You are part of a pattern: a following trained to see threat everywhere, to sanctify resentment, to mistake nostalgia for insight. And for what? The world outside your screen continues, multilingual and multiracial, imperfect and alive. Your doom is not inevitable; it is chosen. And Kunstler gives you the permission to choose it, again and again.
Pam, I don’t know how long you’ve been following Kunstler’s postings. But even way back in the day, 25 years ago, long before JHK fell down the MAGA conspiracies rabbit hole, when his schtick was all about the coming Peak Oil Apocalypse that would leave automobile-centric societies like ours high and dry, his semi-hysterical rants were that we were always about 6 to 18 months away from the Great Meltdown.
Doom has always been just over the horizon for Kunstler. Circa 2000-2008, that Doom was the peak oil apocalypse. I think he felt vindicated by the 2009 global economic crisis, but subsequently disappointed by the fact the global economy nevertheless weathered the storm and it didn’t bring and End To Modern Society As We Know It. (Damn!)
Maybe that’s what pushed him over the edge around 10 years ago. Not only did global oil production NOT peak circa 2004, as he insisted it would, but the global economy largely recovered and (gasp) the USA in 2024 produced more oil and gas than ever before, from fracked wells that JHK had insisted through the 2010s would get played out in, at best, a few years. (He even claimed the oil companies never made any real money off of fracking! Apparently they were drilling and pumping thousands of new wells in the Bakken Formation and in Texas just for shits and giggles … or to borrow the money … or something).
JHK lives in a world where we are ALWAYS, at best, 18 months away from total collapse, and things are ALWAYS worse than they appear (or than ‘The Blob’ will admit).
Well, maybe. But after 25 years of consistently being wrong, instead of showing a little humility, he has grabbed onto “Deep State” MAGA paranoias to fuel his visions of the coming Apocalypse.
I’m trying to imagine what it must be like to perpetually live under such a dark and fearful cloud. I have my own dark concerns about our future, of course. But I find that international travel, volunteer work, fly-fishing Rocky Mountain rivers, playing music, skiing, and pursuing face-to-face social engagements reminds me of the good fortune I have to live in the diverse world I live in.
Yes, I’ve lived a privileged life. But my sin (in the eyes of other posters on this site) is that I keep insisting that all of us would be happier living in a world where others around us, regardless of their background, could enjoy opportunities similar to those that I benefited from.
That perspective seems to upset a lot of people. A lot of people.
In Pam's universe, there is no crisis only attempts to create the illusion of crisis by male malfactors who against the just Democrat Order. One is reminded of Janet Reno who didn't go to work during the Branch Davidian blood bath so as not to give the appearance of there being a crisis. Appearance trumps reality to feminine minds like this.
You're probably a bot. In your original, now deleted response, you referred to yourself in the third person. Did you labor under the tutelage of Rickey Henderson? And still in your subsequent sentences you're referring to yourself as "her." What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, I switched pronouns mid-thought—that’s just a drafting quirk, not a bot. But let’s not get distracted by that; it doesn’t change the substance of the argument. The point remains: you’re treating diversity and difference as doom, and your certainty doesn’t substitute for reasoning.
No. You started your original response with: "You responded to Pam Dickie with certainties, not arguments:" Then you or the Chinese AI bot erased it. I have it in my e-mail.
Also, let’s be real: the idea that a bot would delete a post, notice its own pronouns, make a mid-thought correction, and then repost it is… well, ridiculous. That’s not AI behavior, that’s human drafting—and clearly, this is a distraction from actually engaging with the substance of what I wrote.
rd3, just curious—are you a Trump supporter? Because referring to yourself in the third person is kind of his signature move, and your focus on my drafting quirk seems oddly Trump-esque. But let’s not get distracted: the question remains whether diversity and difference are really doom, or if that’s just the lens you’re choosing to see the world through.
If the pace of indictments doesn’t pick up significantly, people are going to view this administration as collaborators. Why did they not begin with dismissal of virtually ALL personnel in decision-making positions within DOJ, FBI, and HHS - and then decide on re—staffing after vetting?
Trump and the DOJ are methodically tightening the noose around the necks of those behind the nearly decade-long insurrection. The key distinction in GOP operations versus Democrats is their commitment to building airtight cases strictly within the law—a process that inherently demands time. Patience will be required to see it through, until their skulls are displayed on a rack akin to the tzompantli of Tenochtitlan.
Are they? I think you are mistaken. The appearance of noose tightening is to keep the uninformed MAGA base happy in belief that Trump is saving them from evil democrats. He surely is not. He needs happy talk on the domestic issues while doing very little about it to hide his egregious foreign policy gaffes and pure stupidity in service to his cabinet of Zionist elites.
Ah, a pre-Shabat jew hater. What's new? And what's this about Trump's "egregious foreign policy gaffes"? Are you paying any attention, or is it that you just don't comprehend reality?
One need not "hate" Jews to oppose Miriam Adelson, Ezzy. Give your head a shake.

What a bizarre strawman, Lugh. Of course the US has an enormous drug problem. TPTB have seen to that.
The US slaughtering small groups of men boating between Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago (in cigarette boats that Miami is out of range by 5-10x!) on absolutely no legal grounds whatsoever (and sketchy, at best, allegations) in order to gin up a war of conquest for oil and rare-earth metals is unacceptable behaviour to me and I believe that, given my research, facts, observations, logic, analysis, conclusions and commentary, some other people may agree and start their path towards rejecting the mark.
I'm here, risking the wrath of Big Brother, to try my best to save souls.
That, to me and God, is real discourse.

Of course "real discourse is possible." If you're dealing with a group of people who cannot counter what I post with their research, facts, observations, logic, analysis, conclusions and commentary then, it seems to me, that I'm mainly right.

"Galaxy Brain"? Really? You've devolved into name-calling ad homs?
You used to be SO above that. Orders of magnitude. What happened to ya, man?
😮
Wow
"Appearance" of noose tightening seems to be part of the Script. After all, Deep State and Blob are just vague references to the Puppet Masters behind the scenes, directing ALL the public figures in Washington DC and throughout the Land.
From the Big Picture POV, it seems to me that the script calls for the downfall of the US as a symbol of freedom, and that goal appears to be coming along to fruition. The rigged elections installing Insane Leaders in the Blue Cities only makes sense if the goal is to destroy the urban areas while ignoring 4th grade arithmetic.
What lies ahead is a different flavor of The Long Emergency - not crises resulting from just resource depletion and a collapsing economy, but crises also pushed along by nefarious meddling. The most serious problems and predicaments in the pipeline will be when things begin to veer well off the track of the Script, and unforeseen chaos is the result. The arrival of these Black Swans will not be pleasant.
That's the old script. The new script is to use America to conquer the world. The golem needs to be treated better, given a bath, good meals, etc.
Brilliant! we are in accord on this and you captured my sentiments exactly. Well said!
BINGO!!!
Wow 😮
Have a Snickers.
I've had a few just reading many of these comments.
I'd really like to believe your assertion here. It does make sense and indeed has been my key argument as well.
However with the Kash Patel move on the Charlie Kirk assassination, it really does not bode well for the justice system.
It all screams of controlling factors within the halls of the deep state.
Yes, body language experts all agree that Kash and Bongo were terrified as they said Epstein wasn't murdered. Not just lying, but terrified. It was a hostage video.
You probably still believe in Santa Claus, too.
You look and write like a democrat, Chucky.
You look and write like a retard, ezinmn.
Maybe try to make an argument Chucky and you'll be more successful in life. Probably too late.
I did make an argument, dipshit. I argued that because of your pollyanna “trust the plan” disposition, you probably still believe in Santa Claus.
That's not the face of retard. It's the face of hopeless Boomer.
Hey, take it easy on us retards!
No, but I believe in Chucky...the doll that is.
I believe in the old Raider's coach. Where is he anyway? John Gruden, AKA "Chucky." Dude looks just like Chucky.
Thanks for letting us know.
"Trump and the DOJ are methodically tightening the noose around the necks of those behind the nearly decade-long insurrection."
Indeed! And Santa's elves are busy, busy, busy making toys for all of the good boys & girls up at the North Pole because it is now less than eight weeks 'til Christmas. Now: pee, a glass of water and right back to bed, Little Mister!
If the pace doesn't pick up, the bullets-flying-in-100-cities - goes kinetic right after Election Day. Trump has to make them endlessly on the defensive - and he's NOT. He's either the worst advised President - or, complicit ( and his completely-in-denial refusal to look at Charlie Kirk's true assassins - suggest the latter).
The autopsy for Charlie Kirk has not been released.
i heard there was no autopsy. nothings been released and the judge put a gag order on anybody and everybody who may or may not have seen something or anything. so we better shut up. and the boy/girl friend's missing.
CP - releasing my personal report: Professional hit. Shot from behind, low caliber weapon. Shot from above right shoulder, trajectory down. Entry just below right ear, exiting front lower left neck. Video is an exit wound, not an entry wound. Cui bono?
And the next round of indictments and prosecutions have to take place in sympathetic jurisdictions. Don't expect anything to come of the Comey and Fat Leticia indictments in the Eastern District of Virginia or the Bolton indictment in Maryland. No jury in those districts will convict any of them, despite overwhelming evidence of guilt.
Not gonna happen my evil little doll friend. Not gonna happen.
I think you are right on target.
"Collaborators," you say? Interesting ...
The Dems may still be able to sabotage MAGA, & thus derail the accountability that must happen. If it's derailed then the injustice of it will damage America irredeemably, and it's by no means improbable. The Dems are doing all they can, literally all they legally (& illegally) can to bring that about. Plus there's all of Trump's erratic behavior in the past month, it's looking not especially encouraging.
Bureaucracy is not a business. Nothing would be lost if most of their activities were put on hold during a reevaluation. You could shit-can most people working for HHS tomorrow and nothing would be lost. And as for the FBI …. the majority of them seem to be sympathetic to the civilizational vandals.
Says someone who has clearly never run and business...you cannot fire everyone at once. You end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It has to be done systematically.
Amen. I believe the last time any of these monsters went to prison was in the 1970s and 1980s. Politicians and all of these other demons have been getting away with murder for decades...
Perhaps we should refresh our collective memories that Halloween is a holiday (akin to Christmas Eve) as All Hallows’ Eve to prepare to celebrate All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Remembering the virtuous souls who have passed is not and should not be a ghoulish free-for-all. It is a yearly reminder for everyone to contemplate their certain entrance into eternity which, of course, lends encouragement to live one’s life purpose to the fullest.
Actually "Halloween"'s roots are much older than that. It started among Celtic tribes before Jesus was born and was called Samhain. It was a time of rememberance of those who had died. Candles were put out in turnips so the dead could see and find their way when they visited their loved ones who were still alive.
Good catch! You are correct. I edited my original post to correct my momentary memory lapse. Instead of “began,” I used “is.” As you know, the Catholic Church repurposed pagan holidays to assist the conversion of souls. Sometime in the 9th century, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day were moved to November 1 and 2. Then Samhain (October 31) was renamed as All Hallows’ Eve.
Ha, for all the Outlander folks, Samhain is when Claire went through the stones the first time. Remember the women from the village doing their Celtic Druid dance on the day.
I’ve never seen Outlander so I have to take your word for it. But Samhain seems a good name choice for a Celtic Druid woman dance.
If you like Scottish history, it is a winner.
I bet the Druid women were dressed in a way to make a bikini clad, nubile nymph blush.
Undoubtedly!
I watched it a few times. Claire is a whore and would have been seen as such by the old Scots.

MB: So, everybody began to believe it. And why wouldn't they believe it considering that Israel runs the the a global assassination machine that kills anyone perceived as a threat? Uh former uh Mossad director Yosi Cohen said in a recent interview in English that Israel has infiltrated uh cell phone devices and other communication devices in every country in the world. They've not only infiltrated them, they've tampered with them as they did with the pagers that were turned into exploding terror devices in Lebanon. I mean, they're openly boasting about it. So, why wouldn't people have these suspicions?
AN: Let me get this uh straight. The FBI is afraid to have a team of professional investigators conduct a companion investigation to theirs to see if [accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler] Robinson was a patsy for or otherwise influenced by a foreign government. They're not interested in the American public. The FBI is not interested in the American public knowing an answer to that.[?]
MB: Yes. And this is this is the deep state that Donald Trump's claim to campaign against. The deep state's in control. The civilian authorities who are US intelligence veterans, FBI veterans who are in a civilian acting in a civilian capacity are not allowed in the room. They're being frozen out as as they were, by the way, during the run-up to the US bombing of Iran on Israel's behalf. like the same thing. Only the Mossad stenographers were allowed in the room. Only the the sort of deep state figures.
AN: You know, you alluded to this earlier and and it's now uh resonating with me.

Hey, Phil:
Your lack of understanding the rules for conjugating verbs tells me everything you say is fabricated.
Wow! You're like a Sherlock Holmes or something, eh?

Right. All people who do not conjugate verbs the way that you were taught are lying fabricators. 🤣
Good thinking, Sophie.

Are all of the URLs that I provide fabricated (by me) or genuine? Of course they are genuine - you can click on them yourself to easily verify that fact. And, therefore, "everything you say is fabricated" is incorrect.
Good try, though.
It was also a harvest time and harvest festival.
A cross-quarter day when the "veil" is thinnest.
The "veil" is (also) the thick curtain in the Jewish Temple, which was "rent in twain" (torn in two) from top to bottom. At the same time, there was an earthquake, and many graves were opened, from which the bodies of "saints" (holy people) arose and came out after Jesus' resurrection to appear to people in the holy city.
The veil was the separation between Man and God. Jesus tore that separation apart.
The birth of Christ was a landing in a war zone. Think Normandy Beach. But the Divine Invasion has been beaten back and has lost most of the ground it gained.
When did they burn criminals alive? Any special time of year? Our Man burns November 1st.
Oh, is that where King Harvest got the idea for their one-hit wonder, "Dancin in the Moonlight?"

You can't dance and stay uptight
It's supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Samhain marks the last of the year's four cross-quarter festivals in the Wheel of the Year, celebrated by many in Neopagan and Wiccan traditions. Positioned between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, it serves as a time to honor and remember the deceased.

Excellent Post. Unfortunately humanity excels at destroying everything in the name of the all mighty dollar. Everything. I hate money. Heaven would be, to me, living in a society where there is no money. Like Star Trek. If only.....
Until utopia finds us, we do the best we can to live simply and seek virtue.
So true. So true.
Re the over-the-top Halloween grotesquerie, it is remarkable how gruesome the displays are becoming; also a bit odd to see such ghoulishness in the land of "Stay Safe!" and micro-aggressions and hyper-triggerable neurotics--because some of these displays (replacing Ukraine flags for the month) do indeed spray the young'uns with weird vibes and gore (as with drag queen story hours in the public library).
And yet at the same time they cannot bear to see a creche or the Holy Family under a Christmas tree, or a menorah in a window, or any and all mention of God. If some little girl dressed up as an angel, she would probably be pelted to the pavement by "fun size" Snickers bars.
When I was a kid (a long time ago), Halloween and trick or treating was a lot of fun (and it still is for most kids), yet the next day, for my family at least, we went to church for All Soul's Day. What seems to be happening now, and what JHK and others are pointing out, is that the after Halloween, there is not the counterbalancing return of the forces of light. After carnival, the restoration of order. In all things, balance is needed (so says both Western and Eastern traditions)--go too far one way, it's lights out.
THe anti-Christian movement of the country has Halloween as one of its roots.
I want to see the indictments and prosecutions. I was a fan of the NGO defunding but it’s time to get serious. This kind of abuse of the system only stops when the people with money and influence start seeing the insides of cells.
The only positive step that can happen now is if they are all rolled up and subject to military tribunals. If its just some low level court procedure, don't even bother.
You are forgetting something, nearly half of the country's people today are dependent and think that these people are righteous. That is why, IMHO, separation is necessary.
I'm still waiting for clarification on this, John.
You claim, in Trump 47, that the USA will swallow Canada and Greenland (forming the NAU) ... but also claim that the USA will split first. How can all this happen in just three years? It seemingly makes no fucking sense.
They can’t be allowed to drag all this out to escape accountability, that’s for sure. And let’s not forget the court martial proceedings for the military officers. Generals and admirals in cuffs would send a strong message about civilian control of the military!
Right. Dragging things out until they hope they are back in power is what one of the goals is, I think.
Yup!!!
These people think that they deserve to be "The Boss."
Miriam Adelson is "The Boss," John. We all know that.
"Generals and admirals in cuffs" - Hey! That's what needs to happen vis-a-vis the US military slaughtering over 60 people in cigarette boats off the coast of Venezuela.
-----
The USA has become a murderous rogue nation ... but few care.
"What goes around, comes around." Truly.
The Dems are walking into it. Once the cities begin to burn, Trump has a green light for a military coup. If he doesn't take it, he's not the Man on the White Horse.
Our neighbor for many years and now starts in early September building his ghoulish monument to the evil day. His display depicts every gross figures of death destruction and, evil one can imagine. Plus he has built little sheds to walk through with gross figures hanging the most evil figures is a large bloody human holding a headless bloody child upside down. This is pure evil! I pray for God to burn it down. I pray the parents run away and do not let their children anywhere near this evil. The culture of death is no so overt now people don’t even see it anymore.
We have lesbian neighbors 3 doors down who build an elaborate display every year using old baby dolls - their property is a huge garden that covers 3 lots. The display is extremely gruesome and neighbors complained so they put warning signs on the sidewalks so you can avoid it. This year they went full-on with their man-hating and have a full sized male "doll" that is being tortured by babies. Extra limbs on his and so-forth. There's also giant spider webs with babies caught in them.
These women are always cold to me because I'm a "breeder" and they're the same to any other mother in the neighborhood.
You should put a burned-out Subaru on your front lawn. The lesbos will get the message.
With a couple blue haired skeletons hanging out the windows.
😂
Love that idea! I'm going to laugh all day at that image!!
you still have time! do it today!
😂
What does a burned-out Subaru mean?
It's a visual symbol.
It's only the GREEN ones.
Just like the LBGTQ+ movement, Halloween's target is the kids.
Are you sure those are dolls in the display and not cast-offs from the dumpster at the abortion clinic down the street?
Deana, this is solely representative of when unlimited freedoms and liberty becomes an idol. You kick out God out of your nations moral foundations and from the town square and you will get the above. The end result of this will lead to the 4th reich (which was pre-figured in the entire Covid operation).
A few of my "neighbors" have done the exact same thing. And it all started in 2021, the first Halloween after Covid.
During the Haitian rebellion, the Blacks used a dead White baby as their standard. Jefferson met some of the White refugees of the genocide. An utterly vile nation that deserves the evil that has come back to it ten fold.
' An utterly vile nation that deserves the evil that has come back to it ten fold.'

Evil and stupid. They clear cut the entire country and all the good soil blew away.
like this analogy rd3!
From Psalm 11: [2] for lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; [3] if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do"?
God answers this rhetorical question in verse 5:
[5] The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,and his soul hates him that loves violence. [6] On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
Since we are a nation that for the most part has lost its cohanes as men who take action, we are in a very precarious place in history.
Yes, agree. As you say, it seems to start earlier and earlier each year. Many people I've heard about and in real life start right in after school starts. Even heard of some that keep their place that way year round. It's like they can't wait to immerse their mind in the concept. Supporting the whole death-cult vibe he was discussing.
Glubb Pasha, i.e. Gen. John Glubb, saw a pattern indicating that empires tended to collapse after 250 years. 2026 is 250 years after the founding of the USA in 1776.
Pray for America
This is a good observation. 250 years of the Constitution. almost. The Ult-Left's goal is the dissolution of the country to be under the control of globalists. They are traitors to the Constitution, period. The trinamic trio ( Bernie, AOC and Mamdani) should be swinging under a gallows tree, not campaigning to socialize the country.
Remember, ultimately it is the people.
Sidebar - Are 45% of the public guilty of treason for voting for these traitors.
Officers of the Federal government take an oath "to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic". Do these traitors to the Constitution qualify as domestic enemies?
Agreed, and Well Stated!

I've Sworn an Oath to This Nation Twice, and Very well versed in the Constitution, and frankly, I Don't Understand why We the People Can't Round up these America Hating Leftist Marxist Nazi POS and simply be Done with It!
These people are Openly Traitors and Call Openly for Our Destruction, and the Constitution is Very Clear on Our Right to Preserve Our Republic!
John, Give them time, they will find the right tree for these monsters.
See the recent essay by Erik Prince - Time to Win.
Explains the distinction between office space and field space and how it has affected the country. Long read but worth it.

Is it empires or democracies that tend to follow the 250 year time line? I think it's democracies how else do you explain the long run of empires prior to the so-called post modern period.
Thank God, the United States of America is Not a "Democracy' but a Constitutional Republic!
Out Founding Fathers were No Fools! Democracy as the National Socialist Party means it,is Mob Rule!
Phuk That! I Don't care to live in a Country where I loose My Rights because 51% of the Idiots say so. I, We are Sovereign Citizens, Each one of us have Our God Given Rights by God, Not by Government or Men.
It's going to be one Hell of a Blood Bath when the Leftist Marxist POS Try and Force America to Except Their Bravo Sierra!💯
Bravo!!!!
If only, Kevin. I wish we were still adhering to the constitution faithfully, but we haven't for years. Both sides at fault and the politicos along with their operatives and donors killed it. If we were still abiding by the constitution we wouldn't be aiding and abetting war in Central Europe or Gaza.
Granting Universal Suffrage was the biggest mistake ever.
Regimes in general. Most Chinese and Egyptian dynasties didn't last beyond 250 years. There are exceptions. But yes, the Dynasty went down, but the Culture survived and after a period of chaos, a new Dynasty would rise. This went on for thousands of years. Western Culture never united so much, but we have continued for thousands of years, though our future is now threatened because of globalism and mass 3rd world immigration. In a word, the treason of our elites.
Thanks for your comment on the subject. Those were dynasties within an empire. The US wasn't supposed to have dynasties not withstanding all attempts to create one like the Kennedy's, or Rockefeller's. How can anyone forget 2008 and the triumphalism of the Democrats thinking they would rule forever. I think by culture when speaking of the West you really mean civilization. In Europe you find dynasties within a culture and civilization and they were the cause of all conflicts of the modern world. The USA is now the one who is driving conflict everywhere. Our culture is not surviving it is collapsing under the weight of multiculturalism and this is all over the West. I concur there is treason among the elite and they by virtue of their money and the power that gives them can do what they want as long as they keep the political class fat, dumb, and happy with bribes and corruption. The proles are always the ones who suffer.
Kevin is right. As for Glubb Pasha's work on the 250 year pattern, search for:

Tytler Cycle (or whoever it is attributed to)
Congratulations on your new book! Amazon tells me I'm getting it today. Unless the Democrat ghouls take it as their Halloween candy. Personally, I've always liked The Day of the Dead more because it's about communing with the spirits of those who've passed before us. And I think we we've seen evidence of some pretty powerful spirits on Trump's side this week, so I'd rather say thank you to the ghosts of America when it was great for not giving up on us trying to make it great again.
The Left clearly wants to provoke Trump to do something, like invoke the Insurrection Act, so they can wail, “See! He IS a Dictator!” That’s their plan.
They are pushing, pushing, pushing the envelope toward that end, ginning up their anarchists and mentally deranged believers into a frenzy toward that end.
There will soon be a catalyst that will occur, however. They’ve unleashed their hounds but they don’t have complete control.
Push is coming to shove.
What that will look like, and what it will result in is anybody’s guess right now.
One things for sure, things are going to get a hell of lot worse, before they even begin to get better.
If the MAGA crowd was protesting and the dems were in control, the dems would design a clever plan to incite the protesters by tearing down barriers and shooting incendiary devices into the crowd. They are evil and cunning.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. That's exactly what Trump's people should do to the Nov 5 "protesters."
Deputize the Proud Boys.
During reconstruction, the Yankees outlawed gun clubs, militias, hunting clubs, etc. in the South. Many of the men mockingly re-named their club as a gardening club or sewing club.
Like They Did On J6?!!
That's exactly what the original Antifa did in Germany in the 1930s, with snipers to shoot the police and into the crowd - hundreds died in their Rotfront riots.
If Trump was a dictator, he had the perfect opportunity to do so on the venue of his Presidential acceptance speech. All of his enemies were right there sitting in front of him. He called them out but thats all. However that said, time for action otherwise this nation is heading for a one way trip to Jacobinism.
Totally. Wouldn’t it have been beyond surreal if on that day, right then and there, he’d had them all arrested!?
Alas, only in the movies I guess.
I’m wondering if our DoJ and FBI are getting sidetracked from within by subversives still lingering in there. They’re doing “a lot”, but it doesn’t seem focused in the right direction.
Very frustrating.
Indeed, indeed! I am a firm believer that if we are going to get out of this situation unscathed as a nation, its going to be only through national Christian repentance and massive prayer to the God of Heaven through his Son's name. Prayer for mercy since we dont deserve it.
Amen.
Call their bluff. Do it. Crush them. Who cares what they say? The media won't be in their hands any more, you see. Nationalize the media and then after emergency is over, sell it back to decent groups. Keep one network for the government.
A writer, with whom I've communicated in the past, once related to me that he took a trip through Mexico and Central America visiting museums that held vast troves of Aztec and Mayan artifacts. In several of the museums were various tools used for butchering humans. The tools were of different sizes. The tour guide showed him the ones used for butchering adults. the ones used for butchering children and the tiny tools used for butchering babies, including the smallest tools used for scraping the brain matter out of the skulls of the babies.
Praise God for Cortez and the Christian men who put an end to this savage brutality.
I've also seen some of these crude displays in the museums in Mexico City, as well as similar barbaric tools and methods at a site along the Yangtze River in China. It seems there's a never-ending battle between good and evil.
Christian explorers and missionaries put an end to much of it. Of course, now they are seen as the devil, not the baby eating savages.
When the Crusaders took back Spain, they knew they were fighting both the Muslims and the Jews. After all, the Jews and the Muslims had worked together in the conquest of Spain.
This is why I see a resounding difference between those who have only one allele for hair/eye color, black and brown, and those who have 124 alleles, the White peoples.
We are Creation's intent and Gaia's goal per the Design - our unique difference makes us simply more resistant to the driving background force animating the cruelty of such peoples as the Joshuas, the Aztecs, or the Chinese. It is this difference that they envy and lust for, as the Fair Flowers are their only escape from the Wheel. The best word for the one-alleles is: vulnerable.
It is why the Joshuas' dark ancestors took Eves to mate, in order to harvest the power of Eve's people. Their retained their tribal acuity and ferocity, while leavened by an autistic amount of White intelligence - smart enough to be truly dangerous. (And grown increasingly pale of skin.)
No coincidence that the Religious Belt wherein our modern major religions arose from the Nile to the Indus were also the same sojourns made by the Aryan peoples - in Sumer and the Levant arose a one such mixed branch, in Kashmir arose another, the Brahmins, both are competitors to each other and to us. Theirs was simply too great a genetic bridge to cross.
I believe this practice came over from the middle east, along with the pyramids (what the bible calls the high places), when the remnants of those Joshua chased out of the promised land came to the Americas. The depictions of them show them to have semitic features.
Strongly agree, except I say it was the practice of the Joshuas who followed or came along with the Minoan and Phoenician fleets, just as they falsely accused the poor Molochites and later, Carthaginian Punics (Phoenicians) with what they themselves were doing in secret. A carbon copy of Mesopotamian civilization arising independently in South America amidst its jungle savages is not credible.
The Mexica (Aztecs) were said to have come from the swamps to the east bringing nothing but themselves. Not the builders, only the invaders - same as they were to the Canaanite lands of milk and honey (or earlier, to Dilma and Ur, or to Egypt) - there is no example of Hebraic architecture anywhere in the Middle East. They capture, but they do not build as we do.
If you think the spirit of Christ was within Cortez you have another think coming. A gold-hungry Conquistador.
He never swore, nor cursed, nor used hard words. He was famous for it. He was robbed of his fortune by two officials of the Church.
What drove colonization in the first place was the incredible war debt already held by Spain (and Portugal, and every Western country) - the fleets were an attempt to address that debt to the lenders. Spain actually got the smaller share of the loot, which was expended over the next centuries in further turf battles with the British and Muslims.
Although the 400 years of Spice Wars reignited our ancient Greco-Roman urge to technological innovation in a science war, the Industrial Revolution was bankrupted in Spain before it had a chance to flower. The only winners in the end were the banks.
That debt is also what drove the excesses of colonization - hard, rough men, as managers in dangerous lands, were increasingly put upon by distant executives who measured only the values they could count in a ledger, promising only further exile or punishment should the explorers not meet the heartless, greedy quotas.
I feel much better learning Cortez never swore or used harsh words(as he held the doomed Montezuma hostage for a king's ransom of gold.)
The Aztec priests were terrified that Cortez was Quetzocoatl, returned to punish them for perverting his religion of love. You see Otohimho, offering your heart up to God (symbolized by the sun) is not the same as cutting someone else's heart out and holding it up to the sun.
He was primarily responsible for the conversion of millions of savages. To a decent person, this would be a positive.
Wonderfully, what drove their conversion was the music - the natives had never heard such harmonies and chorals, and flocked to the churches, to the point of waiting in the rain for three days for the music to begin.
Adept with stone and wood, they began building copies of the church for themselves next to it, and to fashion fine instruments the equal of the Europeans' own; so many people wanted to be in the band that King Phillip had to ban all new musicians' groups, else nobody would have gone to work.
To add another bloody, tortured god to their pantheon was the simplest of things - it was with music that the Church conquered the savage breast.
Every see those rosary candles with the rent breast and exposed heart of Jesus surrounded by thorns? Well, now you know why that image resonates with the Azteca.
And a God who offered up His flesh rather than their own? In every town were large wooden cages with men and women - a high-born customer could point to their selection, and the priest would butcher and dress the night's meal on the spot.
The savages will not hear the gospel until they have heard the roar of the cannon. Cannon then Canon.
Would Christ have approved? I doubt it.
The DSA can be counted on to attract those with low-IQs but a hefty dose of narcissism.
The DSA members on the Portland City Clowncil had to be schooled a couple of weeks ago by the county assessor so they could understand "tax compression."
See last July, the U.S. Bancorp Tower in downtown PDX, ("Big Pink") sold for just $45 million. Down from the $373 million paid in 2015. The sale reduced the amount of tax the city can collect by 68% from $2.7 million in 2024 to $860,297 this year.
The DSA members couldn't understand why this happened. So stupid they had to be taught a lesson in how taxation works.
So these geniuses just can't comprehend that it's their policies that repel businesses and this has consequences. Without "other people's money" their stupid ideas come in stark relief.
Rank Choice Voting = Fabians
The gradual, but escalating of late, replacement of Christmas, with its glorious Christian promise of eventual salvation and eternal happiness with the cult of death worshiping, nihilistic Hallowe'en is emblematic of our decline from a God elevating and worshiping culture to one that ends inevitably in destruction and misery. I hate hallowe'en. I pity the deluded dupes who think it is "only in fun," or an excuse to throw a party, or worst of all, something "the kids" can enjoy. The comparison of contemporary American culture with that of the Aztecs is apt, except we far out-do the Aztecs in our killing, both in magnitude of victims as well as in the callousness with which we dispatch them. Burning, tearing and suctioning out human beings from the intended sanctuary of a mother's womb is the height of barbarism. And we don't even do it to honor or placate some supposed "deity." No, we do it in the name of things like "reproductive freedom," or worse, the mere convenience of the mother. AS Billy Graham said, if God does not judge America He will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Feminine morality is largely a myth. Convenience is their god.
Communism is feminized religion.
Excellent post Steve.
My prediction: Most of the guilty are unlikely to even see the inside of a courtroom. We'll spend four years investigating, bloviating, and blathering, and in the end, only a token number of small fry will receive slaps on the wrist. Nothing of significance will be suffered by any the big names we all know.
Mr. Bill---Sadly, I agree. I am not sure whether the small fry even have anything to be afraid of. If anyone with an R behind their name had done anything remotely coming close to the equivalent, the MSM would be going 24/7 with hand wringing and demands for indictments but.......since these people were effectively trying to instigate a coup against Trump and his few allies, it is all ok because these criminal D people were saving us from a fascist (which most of the left could not give a credible answer if they were asked to define fascism)
Hell, we cannot even get the media to report the truth on all of the scumbags in the D party that tried to illegally claim 2nd or 3rd or 4th homes as their primary residence. Pretty easy to prove if that is what they claimed----all you have to do is look at the docs to see if that box is checked but all most of our media says is that Trump is going after those that were trying to nail his hide to the side of the barn. None of these people will even have to pay a fine or face jail time even tho if you or I did it, there would be no mercy.
I wish I had the answer but......we may just need to accept we are screwed and any chance of justice is impossible so.....get over it.
Not screwed - we may not get the satisfaction of retribution, revenge, or reparation, but we've already gotten our benefits. What needs be is that we break the Money Power system before it afflicts our children - they have not the tools, I wouldst not see my lineage as eternal slaves. We are already past, our satisfaction matters not.
"Something — more precisely, some cabal of somebodies — is attempting to systematically demolish the social scaffold of our country now."
Wasn't it already demolished during the "civil rights" movement?
Not sure, 🤔 but they broke the leg on the stool with the Assassination of JFK the next leg they kicked out was the Removal/ set up of President Nixon. Can’t decide if the Creation of Barry Obama or whatever his real name is was the third leg on the stool they broke or was it the pre Planned Pandemic for their 2020 Election Steal, with the J6 rap around!
We don’t have a stool leg left to brake any more, and little time to end this attack against our Constitutional Republic and our Rights and Liberties!
I guess it depends how far you go back.
Agree, it means they never stopped, but went on from victory to further victory.
Civil Rights was the tool that broke the WASP power, indeed. Even the power to defend itself.
Among other things. You'd have to include abortion and birth control. The WASPs aborted and birth-controlled themselves out of existence.
I live in southern California near the San Jacinto mountains and I have noticed less emphasis on Halloween this year. I am also an online teacher, and I have also observed less fixation with Halloween. Almost as if everyone was 'Halloweened-out." I don't know if this is universal, but it's my impression.
I sense a "Halloweened Out' vibe as well for what it's worth. Like the whole thing has been exhausted and no one wants to play anymore.
Very true. Seems like they skipped Labor Day, Halloween and T-Giving. WalMart is full-on Christmas and I saw the first fa-la-la jingle bells Christmas commercial 2 weeks ago during an NFL game.
But I doubt if they will skip "Black Friday" or the festive new "Amazon Prime" day invented by Jeff Bezos. Even if people have no money they will continue to try and squeeze blood from a rock.
try TO
My wife and I always limited the amount of garbage our kids ingested, but now I'm noticing that even normie parents are starting to catch on that their kids shouldn't be eating 500 grams of sugar per day. Maybe that is some of the decline in Halloween.
It could be. The absence of enthusiasm for Halloween is palpable. No one seems to talk about it. There are a lot of Christian churches in this area. Something is working!
I think that fact that the quality of life in the US has declined so precipitously that it now resembles one of these ghoulish displays has people a tad shaken. Why display a fake bloodbath in your front yard, when you can drive through town and see a real one?
Seriously. I think you're right. Real life ghouls everywhere.
One of them happens to be my Senator (from OR) - Ron Wyden.
The ghouls are Padilla and Schiff.
The steep decline is certainly mirrored in this valley. When we moved here six years ago, there were beautiful landscapes of hills fading into the mountaintops. Now there are ugly miles upon miles of 600,000 to 700000 bargain homes lining the highways. Homeless are everywhere in the older parts of town. You could once escape to the mountains, but wokeness has even crept into the mountain areas.
Yes, so many misshapen people. Not just the whales, but worse, the boys trying to be girls and the girls trying to be boys.
RD,
500 grams. Grams? Speak English. We ain't commies yet! The Mighty 8th Air force measured its payload in ounces, pounds, Tonnage!
Haha. I should have used the king's measurements.
That’s about a pound, for those of you that don’t go outside the US 😜
Edit: also using grams gives the comment an air of medical satire.
Hallowe'en, that child-centered, candy filled "holiday " has morphed into a true horror day.
The reason for that is not clear, but I expect the 60's, with Charles Manson, political assassinations, and various other depravities, is in there somewhere. America changed, and not for the better. And it's kept changing for the worse.
What will change it back? There's never any going back, just going forward. I hope future generations find the path. Or there will never be another generation of Innocence.
As Aragorn told Barliman, Half a days march from here are enemies who would freeze your mind. Now those enemies are half a block away. Think of the evil lesbians described above.
Scroll through Kunstler’s comment threads and you see them: the anxious, the aggrieved, the outraged. They are not readers; they are witnesses to a civilization they believe is collapsing under the weight of diversity, democracy, and “globalist” plots. Their language is apocalyptic, their metaphors ghoulish, their certainties brittle yet rigid. They describe conspiracies with the care of theologians, imagining tzompantlis of the 21st century, and they cheer at every imagined triumph of retribution.
They are a people whose imagination has been colonized by fear. Everything is evidence: an election, a mayoral appointment, a Halloween display becomes proof of moral decay. Every public figure they dislike is not a politician or policymaker; they are an agent of apocalypse. They map morality onto identity, and power onto skin tone, nationality, and ideology. Their compass points only to outrage, and their horizon is eternally aflame.
Yet there is a cruel irony. For all the violence they fantasize about — bullets in the streets, tribunals for generals, conspiracies crushed beneath righteous hands — their action rarely leaves the keyboard. The theater of threat is sufficient; performance is the currency of power. They inhabit a world in which the loudest, most extreme statements are treated as acts of courage. Writing “Bravo!” to a virtual pronouncement of impending catastrophe becomes a substitute for participation, a ritual that simulates control in a life where real agency feels distant or denied.
Their minds are trained to see victimhood and heroism as co-terminous. The past is a shrine, the present a battlefield, the future a void. Every injustice real or imagined is a call to arms — but the arms are words, clicks, and likes. Rage is the highest form of engagement, fear the most vivid proof of relevance. And Kunstler, like a conductor in a hall of mirrors, ensures the echo of panic is endless. He provides the narrative scaffolding for a population that consumes moral terror as sustenance.
These are not revolutionaries. They are not builders, organizers, citizens. They are spectators in a digital coliseum, applauding the collapse they imagine, taking pride in their prescience, yet rarely touching the civic world beyond the glow of the screen. Their devotion is performative, their courage virtual, their stakes largely symbolic.
And still, the danger is not in what they do but in what they believe. Belief shapes behavior, even when it does not pass the threshold of action. The energy they pour into fear, into paranoia, into “truths” that justify inaction or hatred, warps perception. It hardens social bonds around grievance and fantasy. It teaches them to see empathy as weakness and reality as a trick. This is the quiet power of Kunstler’s audience: they are an army of eyes, always watching, always fearful, ever rehearsing a catastrophe that may never arrive — yet which governs the shape of their world.
The question is not whether they will act violently tomorrow, but whether the lens of dread through which they see the world will corrode their own capacity to live in it fully.
Usually I like a little Italian Dressing with my word salad. You sure typed a lot to say absolutely noting.
You are high on your own style. Cross out every other sentence and you might have something to say.
While you are crazy woman, your words provide a reality check in that those who oppose the communist leftists, are in general, not yet willing to do what is required to win this battle—unlike the hard core communist globalist brown shirt fodder who are engaged and out in the street fighting for their ideology.
I can tell that you are smart. Your prose is Amazing.
Was it Adam’s fault, the FALL?
Are you "liking" your own posts again, Pam?
rd3, read yourself carefully. You responded to me with certainties, not arguments: “It is doom. It’s an abomination.” You did not pause to engage her reasoning, nor consider evidence. You did not ask how communities survive, adapt, or grow. You did what Kunstler has trained you to do: you consumed fear, amplified it, and returned it as ritual affirmation.
Your claim that the conquistadors were “saviors” of “savages” is not a historical argument. It is a moral rehearsal, a justification of violence through the fantasy of righteousness. It is a performance, and like all performances, it demands an audience. That audience exists: Kunstler’s disciples, his loyal readers, who gather in comment threads as if in a digital cathedral, seeking affirmation for grievances, permission to interpret difference as danger, and comfort in paranoia.
Do you see it? You are not debating, you are congregating. You are not reasoning, you are repeating. The applause you receive—likes, echoes, agreement—is the lifeblood of the cult. Every “doom” you proclaim, every ancestral accusation you make, reinforces a worldview where empathy is weakness, diversity is catastrophe, and human complexity is erased in favor of moral absolutes.
And yet, what power do you wield? None beyond the screen. The apocalypse you warn of exists entirely in your imagination and the shared delusions of this online fellowship. You fantasize about threats and righteous violence, but you remain safely behind keyboards. Your action, for all its moral certainty, rarely leaves the digital sphere. This is the nature of the cult Kunstler has assembled: fear and grievance as performance, rage as ritual, reality reduced to commentary.
rd3, take a moment. Look at the congregation you serve. You are part of a pattern: a following trained to see threat everywhere, to sanctify resentment, to mistake nostalgia for insight. And for what? The world outside your screen continues, multilingual and multiracial, imperfect and alive. Your doom is not inevitable; it is chosen. And Kunstler gives you the permission to choose it, again and again.
Pam, I don’t know how long you’ve been following Kunstler’s postings. But even way back in the day, 25 years ago, long before JHK fell down the MAGA conspiracies rabbit hole, when his schtick was all about the coming Peak Oil Apocalypse that would leave automobile-centric societies like ours high and dry, his semi-hysterical rants were that we were always about 6 to 18 months away from the Great Meltdown.
Doom has always been just over the horizon for Kunstler. Circa 2000-2008, that Doom was the peak oil apocalypse. I think he felt vindicated by the 2009 global economic crisis, but subsequently disappointed by the fact the global economy nevertheless weathered the storm and it didn’t bring and End To Modern Society As We Know It. (Damn!)
Maybe that’s what pushed him over the edge around 10 years ago. Not only did global oil production NOT peak circa 2004, as he insisted it would, but the global economy largely recovered and (gasp) the USA in 2024 produced more oil and gas than ever before, from fracked wells that JHK had insisted through the 2010s would get played out in, at best, a few years. (He even claimed the oil companies never made any real money off of fracking! Apparently they were drilling and pumping thousands of new wells in the Bakken Formation and in Texas just for shits and giggles … or to borrow the money … or something).
JHK lives in a world where we are ALWAYS, at best, 18 months away from total collapse, and things are ALWAYS worse than they appear (or than ‘The Blob’ will admit).
Well, maybe. But after 25 years of consistently being wrong, instead of showing a little humility, he has grabbed onto “Deep State” MAGA paranoias to fuel his visions of the coming Apocalypse.
I’m trying to imagine what it must be like to perpetually live under such a dark and fearful cloud. I have my own dark concerns about our future, of course. But I find that international travel, volunteer work, fly-fishing Rocky Mountain rivers, playing music, skiing, and pursuing face-to-face social engagements reminds me of the good fortune I have to live in the diverse world I live in.
Yes, I’ve lived a privileged life. But my sin (in the eyes of other posters on this site) is that I keep insisting that all of us would be happier living in a world where others around us, regardless of their background, could enjoy opportunities similar to those that I benefited from.
That perspective seems to upset a lot of people. A lot of people.
In Pam's universe, there is no crisis only attempts to create the illusion of crisis by male malfactors who against the just Democrat Order. One is reminded of Janet Reno who didn't go to work during the Branch Davidian blood bath so as not to give the appearance of there being a crisis. Appearance trumps reality to feminine minds like this.
See you next Tuesday.
You're probably a bot. In your original, now deleted response, you referred to yourself in the third person. Did you labor under the tutelage of Rickey Henderson? And still in your subsequent sentences you're referring to yourself as "her." What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, I switched pronouns mid-thought—that’s just a drafting quirk, not a bot. But let’s not get distracted by that; it doesn’t change the substance of the argument. The point remains: you’re treating diversity and difference as doom, and your certainty doesn’t substitute for reasoning.
No. You started your original response with: "You responded to Pam Dickie with certainties, not arguments:" Then you or the Chinese AI bot erased it. I have it in my e-mail.
See you next Tuesday.
Also, let’s be real: the idea that a bot would delete a post, notice its own pronouns, make a mid-thought correction, and then repost it is… well, ridiculous. That’s not AI behavior, that’s human drafting—and clearly, this is a distraction from actually engaging with the substance of what I wrote.
rd3, just curious—are you a Trump supporter? Because referring to yourself in the third person is kind of his signature move, and your focus on my drafting quirk seems oddly Trump-esque. But let’s not get distracted: the question remains whether diversity and difference are really doom, or if that’s just the lens you’re choosing to see the world through.
Fall is here and the trees are colorful, Pam. Take a walk outside and breathe deeply. Your belles-lettres impulses will leave you alone for a while.
