10/01/24: At the risk of causing offense, I've have to say that I never discuss my "sources/references." The only thing that counts is results. As for infighting, I'll rate that as an unlikely ingredient.
Meh, I get so tired of these JHK analyses and proclamations that most of us here on CFN already know. Sure, they're exquisitely worded and expounded upon per usual, but there are just blogs like this one, where there's just SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.
That said, I appreciate out host for letting us vent our spleens anyway. Cheers.
First it must be said that Mr. Kunstler is an exceptional writer, with a marvelous turn of phrase. However, as per your critique, his columns represent the mindset of conservatism. Conservatism itself is no better than some vague platitudes that hang on the wall ('lower taxes', 'smaller government', 'free market').
For the past 70 years conservatives have done nothing but whine and complain. The best they can offer is a laundry list of the latest leftist outrages, then sit back and say "It's obvious this is wrong", without ever analyzing how and why it's wrong, nor any clue about how to effectively confront it. No wonder conservatives have conserved nothing, not even women's bathrooms.
Meanwhile the masses of traditional people keep listening to and voting for conservatives, then wonder why nothing ever changes as the wokusts keep implementing their agenda. If the masses really want change, they should vote for the so-called 'far right', but they've been groomed by wokusts to think the far right are all racist nazis who engage in 'hate speech'. Such false caricatures keep them voting for weak patsies whom the left can easily control. What a perfect setup for the wokusts... both traditional voters and conservative leaders are thus proven to be oblivious morons.
Well, the Left is right you know. America was founded by Whites for Whites, racists in other words. But they think this is a bad thing - as if people build nations for other peoples. Did the Chinese build up China for the Blacks? Or the Whites?
“It’s really hard to govern today. . . . The First Amendment stands as a major block.” Once in awhile the veil is lifted, and they bare their objectives for all the world to see. It doesn't happen very often - in fact it occurs very rarely. But when it does, it underscores all that their actions tell us about them. Absolute, unchallengeable power. Apart from the constructive abolition of the 1st Amendment, they must dilute the 2nd Amendment to the point where it's little more than words scratched on centuries old parchment. Then comes the liquidation of the undesirables a la the Khmer Rouge, Stalin, etc. etc. etc. This story is old, but each time it happens it is as though it had never happened before.
They've been whittling away at the 2nd amendment for years, a bump stock here, a large capacity magazine there, until now the government outguns the citizenry (and Joe sneeringly reminded us that they have F-16s).
True. Of what use are fighter and bomber aircraft in a Civil War fought in your country on territory you must preserve in order to prosper? Will a military of volunteers from your own citizens violently suppress the rebels who may be family & friends?
If the Progressive Elites want a violent confrontation with the Citizens, let them be first to arms and out front in battle.
Then they probably still won't understand or appreciate guerrilla warfare, with internal being the worst.
The planes have to land and pilots eat eventually and to know and interact with others, like on the ground.
That's in large part why civs collapse probably. Because they have the worst of a relatively small set of people slippy-sloping progressively upward on high horses-- apparently like that 'haircut-in-search-of-a-conscience/brain'-- who seem to think that it's their rules (AKA, 'The Law', as if it's immutable like the laws of physics) or the highway.
No it's not the law. It never was and never will be, not for long, anyway.
The last time I checked, Joe Biden doesn’t know how to fly and F-16, doubtful he knows how to fly a kite for that matter, besides living on a beach where kite flying is fun. I digress, he doesn’t know that Dr. Jill doesn’t know that the septic truck that pumps human waste from Air Force One is NOT the Jet A fuel truck, and imagine Hunter pulling the flags and pins out of the 500 pound ordinance under the wings…exactly not going to happen. (Can you see ole Hunter on the CVN Gerald Ford heaving deck trying to pull the pins? Hmmm, that might be worth some money spent to witness.) No they don’t get that Charlie is out here in the bush, we starve but squat and get stronger, insurgents work that way, they get hungry and more determined, ever meet an angry insurgent, likely you won’t, but try torturing one. You won’t get far. That is what all these midwits miss, all around them are insurgents, they don’t see it, the same way the brass in Saigon, Baghdad and Kabul didn’t see it, but they are there, living and biding their time. John Forbes “Live shot” Kerry likely has an IQ of around 100, just smart enough to be identified as not hopelessly dumb, but really dumb. Prep school, Yale, a path parted for him by wealth, never challenged and allowed to run untethered from reality his whole life and especially as Secretary of State, he got away with it. He reminds one of the kid in your class at (name the prep school) who is still angry he was not voted student head of the school, lost by a whisker if you ask him, but actually because he was a brown nosing snitch the student body hated his ass and didn’t vote for him…go figure 80 years old and still angry, not a good way to be, thieving everyone’s oxygen with his prattle. All revolutions end the same, not with a bang but whimper. One can ask what happens with the USA and its revolution, it was a divorce so doesn’t count…unless it continues and those pressing the dialectic prevail. My money is on the insurgents. May take a while, but it worked in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as example….
Dennis: if you remove the "inner city" (oops….a dog whistle according to Libs) statistics of violent assaults and homicides the USA is one of the LEAST violent countries in the world. Thank Diversity & Cultural Enrichment for the high firearm misuse.
In a different way, Macron lifted the veil in 2022 when he cited '... the end of abundance'.
That's the very same issue that JHK referred to in his book 'The Long Emergency' (2005).
Clearly at least one person in France who's advising Macron understands that 1) fossil fuels are the lifeblood of industrial society 2) they're not infinite and 3) 'Limits to Growth' was broadly correct. Some in the US deep state realise too, read 'The Last Oil Shock' (2007).
If we look at the WEF, UN, etc, policies, we see a common thread - a response to over-population and financial collapse in the context of depleting and degraded resources, principally oil,coal and gas, but also all ores and minerals.
It's all about the rationing of energy and resources. And of life itself.
Exactly. They are right about many things. But their response is to try and power down the World while staying at the top - at the expense of all humanity. Thus they must be destroyed. Alas those that fight them deny the truths they believe in because they believe in them.
Figures in an Oxfam report suggested that if billionaires and multi-millionaires could live more modestly - maybe more like 'mere' millionaires - global GHG emissions could fall 30-40%.
I'm not holding my breath because most billonaires seem to think differently from 'normal' people. Warren Buffett was considered unusual in the past because he lived in a typical suburban house, not in a mansion.
Therefore Corporate Capitalists cannot be allowed to rule. Resources must be carefully marshalled, not squandered for profit or in frivolous pursuits. How did this jibe with Americanism? It doesn't.
There is an American way to handle a transition to a less energy intensive society though, and that's a return to the society of the founders with yeoman family farms, and more local craft oriented enterprises making high quality items that can be maintained and even passed down the generations. My hope would be we can at least maintain some benefits of modernity like CNC machines, but the future is local.
I am all for the yeoman farms and small business/craft-oriented society you describe, but I fear this is a pipe dream. We are no longer Hobbits, isolated from those around us in The Shire. Even when Tolkien was writing about that idyllic world, it was already over, something he tacitly acknowledged. Supporting ourselves on our own parcel of farmland sounds very appealing, but it takes but one bad crop year, one summer of drought or torrential spring rain to annihilate any hopes of succeeding in that endeavor. To be honest, we need abundant available energy to survive. Without energy to power our society, we are doomed to live in a Hobbesian world. With sufficient energy, everyone benefits. We don't have to burn our forests to stay warm as before, nor do we need to mine coal, as alternative sources like natural gas are so abundant. Advances in safe nuclear power generation are already available and, unless the luddites among us prevail, will be coming on line soon enough. Our problem is not too much energy; it is not enough. Oh, and also too many politicians whose goal is to gather as much power as we allow them to have unto themselves at our expense.
No one should be allowed to rule, except the people by and for themselves, under Mother Nature.
Representatives? Maybe sometimes, if legitimate and with the freedom to opt-out. Once you have absolute rulers, you're back to square one and the kinds of problems you may have been trying to get out of in the first place.
Why are we the people allowing the politicians and MSM to tell us what we can and cannot see and hear? This is the covid mode of operation. Hiding under a rock, or down in the basement, is not a qualification for leadership; but more likely a setup for a bunch of unelected globalists to run the affairs of state, while hiding behind the curtain.
2) Leadership that does not stand for scrutiny, or offers word salads as an explanation and does not cooperate, should be immediately dismissed.
3) Our representatives in government need to treat everyone with dignity and respect. No lining of pockets with donor or NGO funds, and no gaming the system to gain an advantage. Just focus on doing the job they are being paid to do. Represent us, the whole population.
I would suggest that this would disqualify many members in DC at this point in time. It would wipe the slate clean, and provide for a new mode of operation, since they have demonstrated that they are unfit to rule US.
A voice like Sidney Powell needs to be heard, not silenced.
What is the status of the first Trump assassination attempt? Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us if the claim that audio of the event, that suggests that there was more than one initial shooter, is legit?
Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us about the backroom deals that the likes of John Kerry have made with foreign governments on our behalf?
Yo Jarek, you still haven't figured out that capitalism and "corporate personhood" AKA crony capitalists, or "Corporate Capitalists" as you like to call them, are completely different?
Greed drives the small to become medium sized, and the medium big, and the big into corporate giants. What could be simpler to understand? Men won't control themselves so someone else must do it.
What is your problem, woman? You want a simple answer. And the answer is simple but too close to home, i.e, human nature itself.
09/30/24: It's the same old pattern A) Feigning shock --- "How DARE you accuse of this!" Then, after their aberrant behavior through repetition has been normalized, B) "Yeah, that's who we are / what we did. UP YOURS!"
"Once in awhile the veil is lifted, and they bare their objectives for all the world to see." ~ Thomas

What 'veil'? Just look around and/or talk to any anarchist.
Cripes, they even spell it out in our art:

“Morpheus: 'The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: 'What truth?'
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison, for your mind.”

"Someone has written a book about the children and their need for their, just simply, emotional and mental development to have contact with the mountains, with the air, the sea, with the dawn, the sunset, the trees, the birds, the song of the birds. Children that don't have these experiences have no real idea of the world they live in. They live in a house, in a school, in a city that's all manufactured. And they begin to be progressively isolated from the basic dynamics of what human life is all about." ~ Thomas Berry
There is a shift in power happening and the blob doesn't like it. For one, few pay attention to the mockingbird press anymore. Because of this, the blob works feverishly playing whack-a-mole trying to limit online free speech but are not having a lot of luck. 12-year old girls on TikTok have viewership that Rachel Maddow would kill for and could never ever hope to have.
Force multipliers are now in the hands of the public as well. First off are the drones that Congress desperately wants to ban. Something like Waco is a lot harder to have when your opponent can see what you are up to. The public also has advanced optics, communications, night vision goggles, access to these a.i. like programs, etc. Coming after the public is going to be a lot harder when the agents are met with flamethrowing robot dogs. Naturally, they want to ban all of these things too but it is far too late.
Many have decided to go Galt and John Galt is a lot harder to deal with now.
The blob will settle for controlling the monetary system, and right now they are all slaving 24/7 to eliminate cash and impose an all-digital klepto (as you were) cryptocurrency regime on the world, complete with Wack-a-Mole hammers for everyone they do not like. "And they can try to buy ham and eggs with their Mercury dimes," is what they tell each other over brandy.
Fox News and CNN are both killing the goose that lays the golden eggs by running so many commercials. If you want to a good source of international news, try DW (as in Deutsche Welle) which you can stream for free on either Amazon Firestick or Roku. The channel broadcasts in English.
Fox suppresses key stories. Most importantly, the widespread covid-vax one. They are traitors to liberal democracy's commitment to openness. Search in my stack for my writings on suppression, and esp. https://substack.com/home/post/p-145834457
One can only hope Trump uses the DOJ to go after his political opponents…but he won’t.
When I was a Bostonian, I knew J Kerry. He was the second dumbest guy I had met there. The dumbest was the late Ted Kennedy. When Kerry ran against Bush in 04, it was truly Dumb and Dumber.
I was introduced to him at a wedding once. He was pretending to be Irish American. Kerry isn't a real Irish name. It's like calling someone John New York.
Yes he is. Many European Jews converted to Christianity in the 19th and early 20th century. He picked the name Kerry (as in County Kerry, Ireland) when he spun a globe around and his finger landed on Ireland.
09/30/24: A lot of those guys and ladies are fine people. Kerry is the inevitable stinker who ruins it for everyone else, continuing a fine American tradition since Benedict Arnold (sarcasm).
Don't you think their greater "fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason" will be a result of AG Garland and his cohorts being stripped of power, and no longer able to defend them from litigation by the general population?
We'll come out of this one way or other. Just a question of where rock bottom actually is, whether we've hit it yet, and how much worse for the wear we intend to be before we sober up.
Yep, the one thing I can say for absolute certain is get the hell out of cities. If someone offered me a free 2 million dollar "co-op" apartment in New York City but with the stipulation that I couldn't sell it and had to live there, I would pass and stay in my hermit cottage in the woods.
It is now or never to save the county. Certainly just electing DT is merely buying us more time. It’s what WE do with that time that counts. If KH somehow gets in there we will come out of it I agree, but it will simply be too late. The left is going to do everything that people like Clinton and Kerry are suggesting. Honestly I thought we were toast when JB was sworn in. It looked like they were going to seal our nation’s fate during 2021 and part of 2022.
Musk grabbing the reins of Twitter played a very large role in that. Some people accuse Musk of having a hidden agenda I am aware. However I have a theory on why TPTB let him acquire Twitter. At the time his politics were still pretty well a secret. I honestly think they let the sell go thru to torpedo Trump’s Truth Social.
“Now or never” was like, 40 years ago. Or 110, depending on how you see it and what version of “the country” you wanted to keep. Either way we’re way past that.
We’re in full “what comes after” mode now. But their answer is “totalitarian kakistocratic dystopia, forever”. Thing is that’s a retarded idea and always ends poorly and swiftly. So it’s not really an option, just a delusion. Thus my confidence that we’ll be fine in the longrun.
I guess I mean more along the lines of potentially preserving sanity. It may only be for a decade. 40 years ago there wasn’t enough deadwood to start the fire. There’s plenty of it now. This place is ripe for a forest fire of epic proportions. We really are at the breaking point though. And if the system isn’t reined in I don’t see how it ever will be. If KH wins we will all be on the train headed for the virtual gulag. Those that don’t want to get on board will be dealt with I have little doubt. The others probably won’t even notice it. I on an optimistic front there are a lot of people coming around. At least more than there was. Kennedy supporting a R is a microcosm of it. I just don’t know if it’s enough. The anger is palpable tho. Imagine being a black voter your whole life. The constant pandering during election times. Then watching the party that supposedly loved you importing illegals and filling up their EBT cards with more money than they give you. That’s gotta piss them off I would think. Plenty of other examples out there that must enrage the average citizen.
Well, just think it through. What happens *after* the hard-working, rational, honest people they hate so much are all fired, evicted, shipped off to gulag, killed, or whatever. Then they run things just fine without us? Yeah, right. That's how you get a Holodomor.
And then go a step further and ask how the assclowns are actually going to pull that off in the first place, without the help of anyone who can so much as follow step-by-step instructions without fucking it up, or put down the booze/pot long enough to finish a simple task. In a war of them against us, even their own idiots say they'll lose.
They're asking for a fight we don't want and they can't win. In the absolute worst case scenario they kill a bunch of us, then they die to their own incompetence, chaos ensues, and only people like us make it - our children and grandchildren who survive.
No matter how you play out the scenarios in your mind, the end result is: better people than they are end up inheriting whatever is left. Sucks, but history isn't dead and these things happen.
Or a lower middle class White voter. Once they got Trump in, he never mentioned them again, though he would routinely rave about Black and Hispanic job numbers.
Yes seriously, the republic fell when when we abandoned defending the borders only with the Monroe doctrine, and with the rise of the centralized executive POTUS in Andrew Jackson (who ironically called himself a populist) and the rise of Wall St. and the cities crowding out the craftspeople and farmers in the economy. All of this took place between roughly 1820 to 1840, a fateful generation for America.
The question is how much of that independent spirit can we bring back after the empire falls?
I am sure a lot of people in Russia thought the Soviet Union would last forever. Guess what in some ways conditions are worse here than the USSR, the USSR really never had the anrcho tyranny of letting "protected groups" loot and riot, and shoplift without consequence. USSR may not have had good housing, but it didn't have the massive homeless problem the U.S. has. I say all this not as a defense of Soviet tyranny, but to show how bad the U.S. gotten heavily propagandized guy.
Substack fosters, for the time being, the comforting illusion that a freedom-loving 'community' actually exists, and that it can change thing and even win.
Very convenient to the puppet masters.
It is as fake as Russell Brand's 'community', or 'tribe', as he likes to put it.
It will all go nowhere, and evaporate in the next stage of the imposition of the Tyranny.
That’s kind of what my gut tells me about him too. Have seen enough evidence that supports it. Like Trump, Elon doesn’t seem hellbent on destroying the nation or the people in it. The same cannot be said about the ruling elites and Neoliberal govt.
While I have great admiration for Elon Musk (who but the richest man in the world could get his 74-year-old mother placed on the cover of the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue), I think part of the price for throwing his support behind Trump is the hope and expectation he will get continued favored treatment for Tesla, even as more and more people decide they do not want an EV after all, and this in the name of environmental protection even as the environmental issues of producing battery metals are becoming more and more apparent- and while Spacex is a refreshing alternative to cost-overrun, bureaucratic NASA, the behemoths he is hurling into space are punching the biggest holes imaginable in the ozone layer, generating huge volumes of CO2, and contributing to the pollution of the waters around Boca Chica.
Nothing wrong with Neuralink imo as long as we are told the truth about it. That’s the problem with those running things now. They have lied to us so much it’s impossible to believe anything. They could have our best interests at heart (they don’t lol) but no one would ever know. That being said, I guess they kind of had to lie to us. The shit that they’re wanting to pull on humanity most people would not be in favor of accepting.
While I heartily agree JHKs assessment of the political Left, I am not convinced that Donald Trump and his cohort will return lost Liberty to this benighted land. Trump is a fanatical supporter of Zionist-Israel and the MIC war machine. Donald Trump is the one who approved the COVID19 lockdown lunacy and payouts, last time Trump filled his Cabinet with the very Swamp creatures he railed against, HRC did not get charged with any of her many crimes, etc. etc. Of course, it's easy to vote against Harris / Walz and I like JD Vance but I do not think anything significant is going to change under another Trump presidency.
Trump is unique among US politicians in that he can change. He is reachable by fact and by popular opinion. He is not anyone's captive, and I include Zionism among the supposed captors, which will find out they have been deluded by their arrogance into thinking they own him.
Popular opinion? I think you're right and that's really bad. The people are usually wrong about everything, simply believing the media. The Zionists own the media and they own Trump too. You can't take hundreds of millions and then not deliver. Not unless you control the military like Putin did. He pretended to be with the Oligarchs and then betrayed them. Alas Trump is no Putin.
Well the Adelsons made a 100 million dollar down payment on owning him. Don't get me wrong I will probably vote for him to save the 1st and 2nd Amendment and to stop WWIII against Russia, but my expectations are pretty low and I think we could easily see a Jew instigated war against Iran that we will fight under Trump.
Good question, I always found Chuck Baldwin to be a reasonable man. OTH, our rigged two party system means they are unlikely to win above the county level.
Meh Israel has been trying to get us to fight a war against Iran on their behalf since the Bush I era, if not since 1967. This kind of thing is why I am now an "anti-Semite," not that all Jews are bad people, many like JHK are intelligent and well intentioned, but their tribalism of placing being Jewish above being American and using AIPAC to buy our pols, has had very bad consequences.
Why, if he is not a complete puppet did he meet last week with Zelensky who basically told him to FO when as President he was urging prosecution of those who had helped stuff Biden's son with cash in Ukraine? If Zelensky's getting to stand up in front of Congress any time he wants (and get wild applause such as never seen since Stalin's days) It seems as likely Zelensky said,, "BTW, Donald, I'll be needing longer range missiles and improved drones," and Trump probably said, "I'll see what can do for you." This, after all is the man who hung Andrew Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office(a man who balanced i8 straight budgets and left the U.S. $0.00 in debt when he left office), promised to balance the budget himself... and then signed off on- did. not once veto- four consecutive TRILLION dollar deficit budgets.
If there is change, it may well be for the worse: and yes, that is possible as dreadful as the utterly corrupt, murderous (Ukraine, the Vaxx) Biden years have been.
Any movement which comprises Trump, Tulsi, Malone, Russell Brand, and Senator Ron, et al, is most certainly not in earnest about restoring freedom and saving the Republic: it is an entirely fake medical and political freedom movement contrived by the Deep State (which is, of course, global - a kind of Global Directorate, able to co-ordinate the Covid fraud so consummately).
Everywhere, not only in the US, electorates face a choice of puppets only, and, grasping at straws, they will be betrayed.
I wholeheartedly agree. The Trumpsters believe otherwise. But Trump is famous for talking to the wrong people. Why would this time be any different. That's if they let him in.
Obviously you’ve lost the narrative somewhere. Being a supporter of Israel is a good thing. Israel has been a great contributor to the world, while its enemies, jihadist expansionist Islam, is the enemy of all, especially other Muslims.
Why are the Israelis permitted to run their own ethnostate, but white Christians are not? Why have Jews gone around the world destroying white Christian ethnostates while at the same time begging for their money?
Yes genocide and inflaming WWIII that you want our young people to fight that has nothing to do with the interests of ordinary Americans is soooo wonderful.
Fuck off Jew, we backed the wrong horse when we backed the commies in WWII.
Distorting history and making up your own facts as usual. Live in your genocidal Islamic boot licking fantasy as long as you're permitted. It won't be very long.
BTW am a third position Caucasian Christian green local traditionalist, so wrong again Jew. Old America was gone by 1840 and that was largely due to (((Wall St.))) what we call the Jews, and the left calls the 1%, that displaced the yeoman farmer, and craft and guild production of the founding fathers. The Old Resistance knows…
Yearly need for immigrants? Wow, as if we don't have enough cheap labor for generations already. You didn't mention the mass deportation. I don't believe it either.
While I will probably vote for him as a "lesser evil," your fan boism is nothing but a mirror of shitlib fan boism, stop worshipping corrupt venal pols. How hard is that?
Actually he failed us a lot in the 1st term he kept on Faucci and rushed the vax through, didn’t build the wall and cozied up to the genocidal maniacs in Israel, and didn’t drain the swamp. He also didn’t pardon the J6 protestors, leaving them out to dry.
In fact he basically kept none of his campaign promises. Is he better than the overtly evil empty vessel Kamala? Yes, but that is a low bar and nothing to get excited about. Being a fan boi of a pol is a low info fool move, do better.
There are too many minions and indoctrinated people that literally infest government at all levels, even down to the county clerks, to ever fully throw off the marxist yolk. The best we could hope for is a muzzling like that of a rabid dog.
When asked if he was going to be a dictator in his 2nd term, Trump jokingly said “Just on day one.” Of course the media took that as statement that he intends to be a dictator. Since then every opposition politician has repeated that line as fact. Trump is an imperfect candidate but he is probably the only candidate who wouldn’t collapse under the pressure that his opponents have leveled at him. He has also attracted partners(RFKjr, Tulsi, Vivek, Vance) who will have major responsibilities & influence within his administration.
Good luck, America! You don’t have many more chances to save yourself.
It seems to me that people have been effectively erasing their memories of the “covid” years (‘cause they don’t want to remember how they behaved like sheep and tyrants and they were wrong on everything), However, in doing so, folks have erased the fact that Trump was in office already and he didn’t act any more dictatorial than his predecessors or his successors. Not excusing him for the lockdown bullshit but it was B/H that mandated covid shots and colluded to censor people, not Trump.
This has nothing to do with liking Trump or even voting for him. These rabid ”Trump is Hitler” folk have either zero self-awareness and zero recollection of their own authoritarian behavior. That’s the worst part.
I still say the vax was a necessary evil for Trump, the least bad option. Please remember (and most seemingly do not): absent the vax we were on a path to ruin, endless shutdown, economy crash and permanent subjugation. Instead, Big Pharma took the bait, and the vax of necessity become the reason to reopen. And if you were paying attention, you did your best not to take the vax, although some were forced by their peers not Trump to take the vax. It was your neighbors, employers and co-workers who betrayed you, not Trump. Remember. All fell for the Democrat narrative. It was a terrible time.
I’d agree on the governor’s part and I don’t personally fault Trump for going along with his advisors per se (they’re all to blame) but all the travel measures etc were all horseshit and had no basis in scientific reality. In fact the whole idea of a singular RNA virus spreading across the globe with fidelity is a biological fantasy (and that’s not a no-virus position). To this day he has yet to earnestly admit that it was all nonsensical - transfections (mRNA shots), lockdown, ventilators, etc. Now, if he brought that up now, that would likely affect his votes but someone of political note has to keep calling the whole thing out. If you have the time and the inclination I’d suggest reading the substacks/sites of Denis Rancourt, Jessica Hockett, JJ Couey and Mike Yeadon to see how deep the covid bamboozle was. For me the Trump administration will be tainted with the handling of “covid” just as the BH administration’s war on free speech and mandates makes is a threat to citizens etc. The former is clearly better on those things better but the government rot goes far deeper than any president and incumbent politicians can fix, IMHO.
No, they will by no means “go quietly into that good night.” Not by a long shot.
It really is terrifying. My only hope is in God, and that He will hear and act upon enough of us praying for forgiveness for any of our own parts in letting the evil get this far, and our heartfelt commitment to never letting it happen again, by His continued grace.
We need a miracle (or many) of Divine Intervention to get us to finally rid and reverse the corruption that has nearly swallowed this country whole.
"The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizens of this plight." ~ John F. Kennedy
The photographer? Has she read A Canticle for Leibowitz? In the future, Jewish Catholic monks use technology to perform miracles to awe the simple peasants.
Mentioning Russell Brand makes me realize how many people of different stripes are coming out against this current madness that has gripped half the country. BTW, I like the look of your new site, much easier to read. Thanx.
"Mr. Kerry’s hapless utterance tells you all you need to know about how the party of John F. Kennedy turned years later into a demon-driven cult seeking to smash everything that was once noble and upright about our country."
The "demon driven cult" is the Kennedy Family. The same family that JFK's son, John F. Kennedy, Jr., referred to as "Post boys for bad behavior" add his own sister.
JFK's daughter, Caroline ("Sweet Caroline"), Ambassador Caroline Kennedy (she's divorced), while christening the USS Canberra (LCS-30), on July 22, 2023 in Sydney, Australia, made the follow statements. The USS Canberra, a combat vessel built in the United States for delivery to the Royal Australian Navy, Kennedy said how the ship would "support and protect the stability of the Rules Based Order throughout the world."
Whose Rules and whose Order we all know about by now. What used to be called the Rule of Law is now the Rules Based Order.
Caroline Kennedy has betrayed everything her father stood for. And everything her father was murdered for by the Rules Based Order in Dallas, Texas.
And speaking of Kennedys, let's not forget Caroline Kennedy's Uncle Teddy and Chappaquiddick.
And speaking of Uncle "Jack" JFK, let's add the misadventures of another Kennedy offspring -- JFK's nephew Bobby Kennedy, Jr.
Bobby Kennedy, Jr's wife was found hanging in the Kennedy barn. Everyone should be concerned about how If another Kennedy were to become president, it will be the American People found hanging in the Kennedy barn that the United States would become.
This is how sick things have become. We have to end the reign of terror that the nepotism of these elected-for-life professional politicians engage in -- the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, the Pelosi's, the Schumer's, the Cuomo's, the McCains -- just to name a few. Even the Founding Fathers engaged in this crap. John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Both became presidents, and both bungled being parents. And yes, the Kennedys.
“If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.” – Jackie Kennedy
The Laws of Nature are very strict. Thus human law, both written and in terms of common law or custom, must be as well. The Libertarian obsession with "Freedom" (never defined) is a mania; a red faced two year old screaming when they don't get what they want.
Any definition of Freedom must include adherence to the strict laws of life, or "the rules".
A "libertarian" world would just be an endless series of lawsuits. 95% of the country would need to be lawyers or judges, just to handle the case load.
"On May 4, 2014, Jack Schlossberg, President Kennedy's grandson, presented the 2014 Profile in Courage Award to former President George H.W. Bush and former Mayor Paul Bridges."
Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg had been separated for decades. Last I had heard Kennedy was going to get a divorce to protect her wealth. That kind of sealed it for me.
However, the death of Robert F. Kennedy ‘s granddaughter Saoirse Kennedy Hill from “acute methadone and ethanol toxicity in combination with other prescription medications," along with pressure from the kids for the parents to reunite, brought about a reconciliation of sorts between Kennedy and Schlossberg.
One source noted: "It's complicated." Ya think?
Kennedy and Schlosberg's marital status is still listed as "separated." But not divorced. So, I stand corrected.
We are indeed at the “precipice of disaster” my term but feel free to use it because that’s where we are at. Not headed, we are at that point right now. Trump came through in his quest to bring us back to this point again. I never thought he could after the swearing in of JB. You gotta give him some credit for steering us back here against impossible odds.
I would say this brief window will last until at least Feb 2025. It could indeed be extended should the right fuse get lit. Basically we are at a point in time where all hell could break loose. Plenty of different cliffhangers out there to cause it.
Unfortunately this is probably a good thing which explains my gratitude for DT getting us here. My concern is that nothing happens and KH steals her way to the presidency in similar fashion to 2020. That will be the nail in our coffin.
I was considering never voting again when dementia pedo corrupt joey from Scranton was installed. I might still since all the years I've voted, we are worse off every year. Thinking back on the puppets the deep state selected bush, romney, mccain turns my stomach more than usual.
Just an ordinary American, Joey from Scranton, PA. Joey drove trucks, was a lifeguard and graduated in the top ten at law school. Great guy, joey. The hairs on his legs would turn blonde in the sun. You're a dog faced pony soldier if you don't believe him.
Yeah, that's what I said to a friend, once. I said with every administration, we sink deeper into the mire, in spite of all that praying for our nation. Think God is trying to tell us something?
things only get worse every election cycle. That saying if voting would make a difference, it would be illegal is fact check mostly true. Then there is always the what else can we do? Just because the entire country is purposefully dumbed down is no reason not to vote. Deep state puppet A is better than deep state puppet B. Of course Trump is better than the cackling moron hyena. That is small comfort.
A very good question. and one of a thousand we would like to see aired and discussed at length through, say, debates, you know, like the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. And Trump knew that Carambola did not want to debate him- so what does he do?- reject all future debates. So we are left in the dark.
Back when Bill Clinton, then the supposed leader of the free world, shipped Elian Gonzales back to Cuba, and better than sixty percent of the population supported that decision, I thought that Americans didn't even think like Americans anymore, and John Kerry's statement underscores that.
Nothing is more American than Amy Coney Barrett adopting two Black teenagers from Africa while she was late in pregnancy. She couldn't turn it up. She had been "looking for something like this".
One of your very best, James. Monday is definitely better because of you.
09/30/24: The "October Surprise" will hit between October 7-11th, and it has H. Clinton and M. Garland dead-center in its sights.
Sources/references? And might it have to do with in-fighting?
I read some time ago that one knows when the end is nigh when the so-called 'elites' start in-fighting-- I mean, beyond the norm.
10/01/24: At the risk of causing offense, I've have to say that I never discuss my "sources/references." The only thing that counts is results. As for infighting, I'll rate that as an unlikely ingredient.
Agree. Still stunned that with Evil Google I actually have to type the word "substack" to get here.
Anyhow, your readers would enjoy my recent series on the concept of Suppression, the coordinated media and political-class refusal to admit that a story is a story. The most recent is "What Suppression Is Not," https://pomocon.substack.com/p/what-suppression-is-not but the most popular and important is "The Rationales of the Knowing Suppressors, Pt. I" https://pomocon.substack.com/p/what-suppression-is-not
agreed!
Meh, I get so tired of these JHK analyses and proclamations that most of us here on CFN already know. Sure, they're exquisitely worded and expounded upon per usual, but there are just blogs like this one, where there's just SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.
That said, I appreciate out host for letting us vent our spleens anyway. Cheers.
First it must be said that Mr. Kunstler is an exceptional writer, with a marvelous turn of phrase. However, as per your critique, his columns represent the mindset of conservatism. Conservatism itself is no better than some vague platitudes that hang on the wall ('lower taxes', 'smaller government', 'free market').
For the past 70 years conservatives have done nothing but whine and complain. The best they can offer is a laundry list of the latest leftist outrages, then sit back and say "It's obvious this is wrong", without ever analyzing how and why it's wrong, nor any clue about how to effectively confront it. No wonder conservatives have conserved nothing, not even women's bathrooms.
Meanwhile the masses of traditional people keep listening to and voting for conservatives, then wonder why nothing ever changes as the wokusts keep implementing their agenda. If the masses really want change, they should vote for the so-called 'far right', but they've been groomed by wokusts to think the far right are all racist nazis who engage in 'hate speech'. Such false caricatures keep them voting for weak patsies whom the left can easily control. What a perfect setup for the wokusts... both traditional voters and conservative leaders are thus proven to be oblivious morons.
Well, the Left is right you know. America was founded by Whites for Whites, racists in other words. But they think this is a bad thing - as if people build nations for other peoples. Did the Chinese build up China for the Blacks? Or the Whites?
What did you write as Disaffected at Jim's homesite that ostensibly pissed him off, BTW? I missed it, it had been deleted apparently.
Asking for Zaz.
Today's Monday not Friday. Worse living through acronyms.
“It’s really hard to govern today. . . . The First Amendment stands as a major block.” Once in awhile the veil is lifted, and they bare their objectives for all the world to see. It doesn't happen very often - in fact it occurs very rarely. But when it does, it underscores all that their actions tell us about them. Absolute, unchallengeable power. Apart from the constructive abolition of the 1st Amendment, they must dilute the 2nd Amendment to the point where it's little more than words scratched on centuries old parchment. Then comes the liquidation of the undesirables a la the Khmer Rouge, Stalin, etc. etc. etc. This story is old, but each time it happens it is as though it had never happened before.
They mean rule, they dont want to govern, they want to be iron fisted rulers, to that i say they need an iron fisted smack to the head, literally
I would have said "upside" the head.
Would you be content useing copper & lead instead of iron?
That's going to hurt us more than them. I'd suggest our very own Ron Anselmo's throat-punch instead. Ron?
They've been whittling away at the 2nd amendment for years, a bump stock here, a large capacity magazine there, until now the government outguns the citizenry (and Joe sneeringly reminded us that they have F-16s).
True. Of what use are fighter and bomber aircraft in a Civil War fought in your country on territory you must preserve in order to prosper? Will a military of volunteers from your own citizens violently suppress the rebels who may be family & friends?
If the Progressive Elites want a violent confrontation with the Citizens, let them be first to arms and out front in battle.
There are other ways to pizz in their cheerios that will be more effective
Then they probably still won't understand or appreciate guerrilla warfare, with internal being the worst.
The planes have to land and pilots eat eventually and to know and interact with others, like on the ground.
That's in large part why civs collapse probably. Because they have the worst of a relatively small set of people slippy-sloping progressively upward on high horses-- apparently like that 'haircut-in-search-of-a-conscience/brain'-- who seem to think that it's their rules (AKA, 'The Law', as if it's immutable like the laws of physics) or the highway.
No it's not the law. It never was and never will be, not for long, anyway.
The only law that matters is Mother Nature's.
Brother Nature?
How about just nature's?
The last time I checked, Joe Biden doesn’t know how to fly and F-16, doubtful he knows how to fly a kite for that matter, besides living on a beach where kite flying is fun. I digress, he doesn’t know that Dr. Jill doesn’t know that the septic truck that pumps human waste from Air Force One is NOT the Jet A fuel truck, and imagine Hunter pulling the flags and pins out of the 500 pound ordinance under the wings…exactly not going to happen. (Can you see ole Hunter on the CVN Gerald Ford heaving deck trying to pull the pins? Hmmm, that might be worth some money spent to witness.) No they don’t get that Charlie is out here in the bush, we starve but squat and get stronger, insurgents work that way, they get hungry and more determined, ever meet an angry insurgent, likely you won’t, but try torturing one. You won’t get far. That is what all these midwits miss, all around them are insurgents, they don’t see it, the same way the brass in Saigon, Baghdad and Kabul didn’t see it, but they are there, living and biding their time. John Forbes “Live shot” Kerry likely has an IQ of around 100, just smart enough to be identified as not hopelessly dumb, but really dumb. Prep school, Yale, a path parted for him by wealth, never challenged and allowed to run untethered from reality his whole life and especially as Secretary of State, he got away with it. He reminds one of the kid in your class at (name the prep school) who is still angry he was not voted student head of the school, lost by a whisker if you ask him, but actually because he was a brown nosing snitch the student body hated his ass and didn’t vote for him…go figure 80 years old and still angry, not a good way to be, thieving everyone’s oxygen with his prattle. All revolutions end the same, not with a bang but whimper. One can ask what happens with the USA and its revolution, it was a divorce so doesn’t count…unless it continues and those pressing the dialectic prevail. My money is on the insurgents. May take a while, but it worked in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as example….

dear Lord that's horrible information, Dennis! You don't own one, do you?
Dennis: if you remove the "inner city" (oops….a dog whistle according to Libs) statistics of violent assaults and homicides the USA is one of the LEAST violent countries in the world. Thank Diversity & Cultural Enrichment for the high firearm misuse.
Thomas, I’d say they’ve been very open about what’s in store for us since 2020, almost mocking us to be able to do anything about it
There's a school of thought that the dark cult telegraphs its intentions. If nothing is done about it, they earn a karmic 'get-out-of-jail-free' card.
Exactly. That is a Satanist thing.
In a different way, Macron lifted the veil in 2022 when he cited '... the end of abundance'.
That's the very same issue that JHK referred to in his book 'The Long Emergency' (2005).
Clearly at least one person in France who's advising Macron understands that 1) fossil fuels are the lifeblood of industrial society 2) they're not infinite and 3) 'Limits to Growth' was broadly correct. Some in the US deep state realise too, read 'The Last Oil Shock' (2007).
A very perceptive observation!
If we look at the WEF, UN, etc, policies, we see a common thread - a response to over-population and financial collapse in the context of depleting and degraded resources, principally oil,coal and gas, but also all ores and minerals.
It's all about the rationing of energy and resources. And of life itself.
Exactly. They are right about many things. But their response is to try and power down the World while staying at the top - at the expense of all humanity. Thus they must be destroyed. Alas those that fight them deny the truths they believe in because they believe in them.
Figures in an Oxfam report suggested that if billionaires and multi-millionaires could live more modestly - maybe more like 'mere' millionaires - global GHG emissions could fall 30-40%.
See: https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/carbon-emissions-richest-1-percent-more-double-emissions-poorest-half-humanity
I'm not holding my breath because most billonaires seem to think differently from 'normal' people. Warren Buffett was considered unusual in the past because he lived in a typical suburban house, not in a mansion.
A very perceptive thread, thanks.
Why isn't there a (inter)national discussion about this?
If you go on the site RT you will find people from every country
Therefore Corporate Capitalists cannot be allowed to rule. Resources must be carefully marshalled, not squandered for profit or in frivolous pursuits. How did this jibe with Americanism? It doesn't.
There is an American way to handle a transition to a less energy intensive society though, and that's a return to the society of the founders with yeoman family farms, and more local craft oriented enterprises making high quality items that can be maintained and even passed down the generations. My hope would be we can at least maintain some benefits of modernity like CNC machines, but the future is local.
I am all for the yeoman farms and small business/craft-oriented society you describe, but I fear this is a pipe dream. We are no longer Hobbits, isolated from those around us in The Shire. Even when Tolkien was writing about that idyllic world, it was already over, something he tacitly acknowledged. Supporting ourselves on our own parcel of farmland sounds very appealing, but it takes but one bad crop year, one summer of drought or torrential spring rain to annihilate any hopes of succeeding in that endeavor. To be honest, we need abundant available energy to survive. Without energy to power our society, we are doomed to live in a Hobbesian world. With sufficient energy, everyone benefits. We don't have to burn our forests to stay warm as before, nor do we need to mine coal, as alternative sources like natural gas are so abundant. Advances in safe nuclear power generation are already available and, unless the luddites among us prevail, will be coming on line soon enough. Our problem is not too much energy; it is not enough. Oh, and also too many politicians whose goal is to gather as much power as we allow them to have unto themselves at our expense.
You might call it A World Made by Hand.....
My thoughts are that "the future is local" doesn't take into consideration an international perspective.
Do you anticipate the international horde will be respectful this time?
No one should be allowed to rule, except the people by and for themselves, under Mother Nature.
Representatives? Maybe sometimes, if legitimate and with the freedom to opt-out. Once you have absolute rulers, you're back to square one and the kinds of problems you may have been trying to get out of in the first place.
In the present case of America, how do you see this functioning with a polarized population?
What should be the qualifications to rule? Does any part of the 2030 Agenda qualify? Would Putin or Xi qualify? How would bad leadership be removed?
Who would be in charge of dealing with a nation that squandered resources for profit or in frivolous pursuits?
The following are a few proposals:
1) Leadership should stand for scrutiny.
Why are we the people allowing the politicians and MSM to tell us what we can and cannot see and hear? This is the covid mode of operation. Hiding under a rock, or down in the basement, is not a qualification for leadership; but more likely a setup for a bunch of unelected globalists to run the affairs of state, while hiding behind the curtain.
2) Leadership that does not stand for scrutiny, or offers word salads as an explanation and does not cooperate, should be immediately dismissed.
3) Our representatives in government need to treat everyone with dignity and respect. No lining of pockets with donor or NGO funds, and no gaming the system to gain an advantage. Just focus on doing the job they are being paid to do. Represent us, the whole population.
I would suggest that this would disqualify many members in DC at this point in time. It would wipe the slate clean, and provide for a new mode of operation, since they have demonstrated that they are unfit to rule US.
A voice like Sidney Powell needs to be heard, not silenced.
What is the status of the first Trump assassination attempt? Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us if the claim that audio of the event, that suggests that there was more than one initial shooter, is legit?
Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us about the backroom deals that the likes of John Kerry have made with foreign governments on our behalf?
Yo Jarek, you still haven't figured out that capitalism and "corporate personhood" AKA crony capitalists, or "Corporate Capitalists" as you like to call them, are completely different?
When will you learn?
Greed drives the small to become medium sized, and the medium big, and the big into corporate giants. What could be simpler to understand? Men won't control themselves so someone else must do it.
What is your problem, woman? You want a simple answer. And the answer is simple but too close to home, i.e, human nature itself.
09/30/24: It's the same old pattern A) Feigning shock --- "How DARE you accuse of this!" Then, after their aberrant behavior through repetition has been normalized, B) "Yeah, that's who we are / what we did. UP YOURS!"

“Morpheus: 'The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: 'What truth?'
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison, for your mind.”

"Someone has written a book about the children and their need for their, just simply, emotional and mental development to have contact with the mountains, with the air, the sea, with the dawn, the sunset, the trees, the birds, the song of the birds. Children that don't have these experiences have no real idea of the world they live in. They live in a house, in a school, in a city that's all manufactured. And they begin to be progressively isolated from the basic dynamics of what human life is all about." ~ Thomas Berry

Monkman's The Scream

There is a shift in power happening and the blob doesn't like it. For one, few pay attention to the mockingbird press anymore. Because of this, the blob works feverishly playing whack-a-mole trying to limit online free speech but are not having a lot of luck. 12-year old girls on TikTok have viewership that Rachel Maddow would kill for and could never ever hope to have.
Force multipliers are now in the hands of the public as well. First off are the drones that Congress desperately wants to ban. Something like Waco is a lot harder to have when your opponent can see what you are up to. The public also has advanced optics, communications, night vision goggles, access to these a.i. like programs, etc. Coming after the public is going to be a lot harder when the agents are met with flamethrowing robot dogs. Naturally, they want to ban all of these things too but it is far too late.
Many have decided to go Galt and John Galt is a lot harder to deal with now.
The blob will settle for controlling the monetary system, and right now they are all slaving 24/7 to eliminate cash and impose an all-digital klepto (as you were) cryptocurrency regime on the world, complete with Wack-a-Mole hammers for everyone they do not like. "And they can try to buy ham and eggs with their Mercury dimes," is what they tell each other over brandy.
Right. As long as highly reliable telecommunications systems, much more reliable than what we have in place now are implemented.
Ask people in Western North Carolina/Eastern Tennessee what works; cash or card? No comms, no purchasing of necessities.
Yes this is the hope not our corrupt venal political system.
Fox News and CNN are both killing the goose that lays the golden eggs by running so many commercials. If you want to a good source of international news, try DW (as in Deutsche Welle) which you can stream for free on either Amazon Firestick or Roku. The channel broadcasts in English.
Fox suppresses key stories. Most importantly, the widespread covid-vax one. They are traitors to liberal democracy's commitment to openness. Search in my stack for my writings on suppression, and esp. https://substack.com/home/post/p-145834457
One can only hope Trump uses the DOJ to go after his political opponents…but he won’t.
When I was a Bostonian, I knew J Kerry. He was the second dumbest guy I had met there. The dumbest was the late Ted Kennedy. When Kerry ran against Bush in 04, it was truly Dumb and Dumber.
Both of them Skull and Bones at Yale, with very subpar SAT scores....Coincidence?!
I was introduced to him at a wedding once. He was pretending to be Irish American. Kerry isn't a real Irish name. It's like calling someone John New York.
He's Czech/Ashkenazi, I believe.
Yes he is. Many European Jews converted to Christianity in the 19th and early 20th century. He picked the name Kerry (as in County Kerry, Ireland) when he spun a globe around and his finger landed on Ireland.
09/30/24: A lot of those guys and ladies are fine people. Kerry is the inevitable stinker who ruins it for everyone else, continuing a fine American tradition since Benedict Arnold (sarcasm).
John Kerry's favorite sport is soccer. That's about all you need to know.
You're full of shite, Jarek.
Now what?
Don't you think their greater "fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason" will be a result of AG Garland and his cohorts being stripped of power, and no longer able to defend them from litigation by the general population?
Wrong Mark. He will get them all and some will hurt so bad they will drop off a cliff - literally - and I will celebrate!
We'll come out of this one way or other. Just a question of where rock bottom actually is, whether we've hit it yet, and how much worse for the wear we intend to be before we sober up.
Yep, the one thing I can say for absolute certain is get the hell out of cities. If someone offered me a free 2 million dollar "co-op" apartment in New York City but with the stipulation that I couldn't sell it and had to live there, I would pass and stay in my hermit cottage in the woods.
Yes, everyone says get out of the cities now. Sharpen your blades for Halloween.
It is now or never to save the county. Certainly just electing DT is merely buying us more time. It’s what WE do with that time that counts. If KH somehow gets in there we will come out of it I agree, but it will simply be too late. The left is going to do everything that people like Clinton and Kerry are suggesting. Honestly I thought we were toast when JB was sworn in. It looked like they were going to seal our nation’s fate during 2021 and part of 2022.
Musk grabbing the reins of Twitter played a very large role in that. Some people accuse Musk of having a hidden agenda I am aware. However I have a theory on why TPTB let him acquire Twitter. At the time his politics were still pretty well a secret. I honestly think they let the sell go thru to torpedo Trump’s Truth Social.
“Now or never” was like, 40 years ago. Or 110, depending on how you see it and what version of “the country” you wanted to keep. Either way we’re way past that.
We’re in full “what comes after” mode now. But their answer is “totalitarian kakistocratic dystopia, forever”. Thing is that’s a retarded idea and always ends poorly and swiftly. So it’s not really an option, just a delusion. Thus my confidence that we’ll be fine in the longrun.
I guess I mean more along the lines of potentially preserving sanity. It may only be for a decade. 40 years ago there wasn’t enough deadwood to start the fire. There’s plenty of it now. This place is ripe for a forest fire of epic proportions. We really are at the breaking point though. And if the system isn’t reined in I don’t see how it ever will be. If KH wins we will all be on the train headed for the virtual gulag. Those that don’t want to get on board will be dealt with I have little doubt. The others probably won’t even notice it. I on an optimistic front there are a lot of people coming around. At least more than there was. Kennedy supporting a R is a microcosm of it. I just don’t know if it’s enough. The anger is palpable tho. Imagine being a black voter your whole life. The constant pandering during election times. Then watching the party that supposedly loved you importing illegals and filling up their EBT cards with more money than they give you. That’s gotta piss them off I would think. Plenty of other examples out there that must enrage the average citizen.
Well, just think it through. What happens *after* the hard-working, rational, honest people they hate so much are all fired, evicted, shipped off to gulag, killed, or whatever. Then they run things just fine without us? Yeah, right. That's how you get a Holodomor.
And then go a step further and ask how the assclowns are actually going to pull that off in the first place, without the help of anyone who can so much as follow step-by-step instructions without fucking it up, or put down the booze/pot long enough to finish a simple task. In a war of them against us, even their own idiots say they'll lose.
They're asking for a fight we don't want and they can't win. In the absolute worst case scenario they kill a bunch of us, then they die to their own incompetence, chaos ensues, and only people like us make it - our children and grandchildren who survive.
No matter how you play out the scenarios in your mind, the end result is: better people than they are end up inheriting whatever is left. Sucks, but history isn't dead and these things happen.
Or a lower middle class White voter. Once they got Trump in, he never mentioned them again, though he would routinely rave about Black and Hispanic job numbers.
We are headed into Karma is a Bi t Ch portion of the story
This. Exactly.
More like 225 years ago. The “moment” has been lost.
Yes seriously, the republic fell when when we abandoned defending the borders only with the Monroe doctrine, and with the rise of the centralized executive POTUS in Andrew Jackson (who ironically called himself a populist) and the rise of Wall St. and the cities crowding out the craftspeople and farmers in the economy. All of this took place between roughly 1820 to 1840, a fateful generation for America.
The question is how much of that independent spirit can we bring back after the empire falls?
You folks are all mentally ill. The US will go on. Things will not change that much.
Yes normality continues on until it doesn't.
I am sure a lot of people in Russia thought the Soviet Union would last forever. Guess what in some ways conditions are worse here than the USSR, the USSR really never had the anrcho tyranny of letting "protected groups" loot and riot, and shoplift without consequence. USSR may not have had good housing, but it didn't have the massive homeless problem the U.S. has. I say all this not as a defense of Soviet tyranny, but to show how bad the U.S. gotten heavily propagandized guy.
Twitter had been so heavily censored that it had become almost useless to the Deep State, as people were moving away from it in droves.
Now, under 'freedom and free-speech -loving' Musk, the 'nice' technocrat, they've all come back.
Rather clever.
And X is still censoring very important things, by the way.
Substack similarly has its uses for them: a safety valve, a way to influence thought - quite subtle. I hand it to them.
Substack fosters, for the time being, the comforting illusion that a freedom-loving 'community' actually exists, and that it can change thing and even win.
Very convenient to the puppet masters.
It is as fake as Russell Brand's 'community', or 'tribe', as he likes to put it.
It will all go nowhere, and evaporate in the next stage of the imposition of the Tyranny.
That’s kind of what my gut tells me about him too. Have seen enough evidence that supports it. Like Trump, Elon doesn’t seem hellbent on destroying the nation or the people in it. The same cannot be said about the ruling elites and Neoliberal govt.
I've got some "evil" for ya. He's South African. 'nuff said.
While I have great admiration for Elon Musk (who but the richest man in the world could get his 74-year-old mother placed on the cover of the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue), I think part of the price for throwing his support behind Trump is the hope and expectation he will get continued favored treatment for Tesla, even as more and more people decide they do not want an EV after all, and this in the name of environmental protection even as the environmental issues of producing battery metals are becoming more and more apparent- and while Spacex is a refreshing alternative to cost-overrun, bureaucratic NASA, the behemoths he is hurling into space are punching the biggest holes imaginable in the ozone layer, generating huge volumes of CO2, and contributing to the pollution of the waters around Boca Chica.
Nothing wrong with Neuralink imo as long as we are told the truth about it. That’s the problem with those running things now. They have lied to us so much it’s impossible to believe anything. They could have our best interests at heart (they don’t lol) but no one would ever know. That being said, I guess they kind of had to lie to us. The shit that they’re wanting to pull on humanity most people would not be in favor of accepting.
You just might have something there- a pharmaceutical-type name for the Red Pill. I like it!
Fukitol is good peeps. Stay tuned to what he says, it's always interesting.
What about the black pill, dis? Burnitalldownetal?
While I heartily agree JHKs assessment of the political Left, I am not convinced that Donald Trump and his cohort will return lost Liberty to this benighted land. Trump is a fanatical supporter of Zionist-Israel and the MIC war machine. Donald Trump is the one who approved the COVID19 lockdown lunacy and payouts, last time Trump filled his Cabinet with the very Swamp creatures he railed against, HRC did not get charged with any of her many crimes, etc. etc. Of course, it's easy to vote against Harris / Walz and I like JD Vance but I do not think anything significant is going to change under another Trump presidency.
Trump is unique among US politicians in that he can change. He is reachable by fact and by popular opinion. He is not anyone's captive, and I include Zionism among the supposed captors, which will find out they have been deluded by their arrogance into thinking they own him.
Popular opinion? I think you're right and that's really bad. The people are usually wrong about everything, simply believing the media. The Zionists own the media and they own Trump too. You can't take hundreds of millions and then not deliver. Not unless you control the military like Putin did. He pretended to be with the Oligarchs and then betrayed them. Alas Trump is no Putin.
That's for sure. Putin is brilliant. Did you see his interview with Tucker?
Jews. Hey you asked.
Well the Adelsons made a 100 million dollar down payment on owning him. Don't get me wrong I will probably vote for him to save the 1st and 2nd Amendment and to stop WWIII against Russia, but my expectations are pretty low and I think we could easily see a Jew instigated war against Iran that we will fight under Trump.
What do you think of the Constitution Party?
Current "Constitutional" Party Randall Terry is a piece of shit that should be boiled in oil.
Good question, I always found Chuck Baldwin to be a reasonable man. OTH, our rigged two party system means they are unlikely to win above the county level.
Meh Israel has been trying to get us to fight a war against Iran on their behalf since the Bush I era, if not since 1967. This kind of thing is why I am now an "anti-Semite," not that all Jews are bad people, many like JHK are intelligent and well intentioned, but their tribalism of placing being Jewish above being American and using AIPAC to buy our pols, has had very bad consequences.
Why, if he is not a complete puppet did he meet last week with Zelensky who basically told him to FO when as President he was urging prosecution of those who had helped stuff Biden's son with cash in Ukraine? If Zelensky's getting to stand up in front of Congress any time he wants (and get wild applause such as never seen since Stalin's days) It seems as likely Zelensky said,, "BTW, Donald, I'll be needing longer range missiles and improved drones," and Trump probably said, "I'll see what can do for you." This, after all is the man who hung Andrew Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office(a man who balanced i8 straight budgets and left the U.S. $0.00 in debt when he left office), promised to balance the budget himself... and then signed off on- did. not once veto- four consecutive TRILLION dollar deficit budgets.
If there is change, it may well be for the worse: and yes, that is possible as dreadful as the utterly corrupt, murderous (Ukraine, the Vaxx) Biden years have been.
Any movement which comprises Trump, Tulsi, Malone, Russell Brand, and Senator Ron, et al, is most certainly not in earnest about restoring freedom and saving the Republic: it is an entirely fake medical and political freedom movement contrived by the Deep State (which is, of course, global - a kind of Global Directorate, able to co-ordinate the Covid fraud so consummately).
Everywhere, not only in the US, electorates face a choice of puppets only, and, grasping at straws, they will be betrayed.
I wholeheartedly agree. The Trumpsters believe otherwise. But Trump is famous for talking to the wrong people. Why would this time be any different. That's if they let him in.
Henry the Idiot. Dumb as rocks with what is REALLY going on. So be it. You can’t teach stupidly
Perhaps you should take your meds then take a nap .....
I haven't taken a nap in forever.
Obviously you’ve lost the narrative somewhere. Being a supporter of Israel is a good thing. Israel has been a great contributor to the world, while its enemies, jihadist expansionist Islam, is the enemy of all, especially other Muslims.
Why are the Israelis permitted to run their own ethnostate, but white Christians are not? Why have Jews gone around the world destroying white Christian ethnostates while at the same time begging for their money?
Why are you allowed to lie and slander? Power to do evil has a limited shelf life. Judgment comes quickly.
No lies or slander in anything I wrote. Just the cold, naked truth. The truth hurts, Mr. Cohen.
Yes.
Yes genocide and inflaming WWIII that you want our young people to fight that has nothing to do with the interests of ordinary Americans is soooo wonderful.
Fuck off Jew, we backed the wrong horse when we backed the commies in WWII.
Distorting history and making up your own facts as usual. Live in your genocidal Islamic boot licking fantasy as long as you're permitted. It won't be very long.
BTW am a third position Caucasian Christian green local traditionalist, so wrong again Jew. Old America was gone by 1840 and that was largely due to (((Wall St.))) what we call the Jews, and the left calls the 1%, that displaced the yeoman farmer, and craft and guild production of the founding fathers. The Old Resistance knows…
Which facts did I distort? Be specific. Or is your mighty master rac…errr I mean “chosen people,” Jew mind incapable of using evidence and reason?
Yearly need for immigrants? Wow, as if we don't have enough cheap labor for generations already. You didn't mention the mass deportation. I don't believe it either.
While I will probably vote for him as a "lesser evil," your fan boism is nothing but a mirror of shitlib fan boism, stop worshipping corrupt venal pols. How hard is that?
Actually he failed us a lot in the 1st term he kept on Faucci and rushed the vax through, didn’t build the wall and cozied up to the genocidal maniacs in Israel, and didn’t drain the swamp. He also didn’t pardon the J6 protestors, leaving them out to dry.
In fact he basically kept none of his campaign promises. Is he better than the overtly evil empty vessel Kamala? Yes, but that is a low bar and nothing to get excited about. Being a fan boi of a pol is a low info fool move, do better.
There are too many minions and indoctrinated people that literally infest government at all levels, even down to the county clerks, to ever fully throw off the marxist yolk. The best we could hope for is a muzzling like that of a rabid dog.
When asked if he was going to be a dictator in his 2nd term, Trump jokingly said “Just on day one.” Of course the media took that as statement that he intends to be a dictator. Since then every opposition politician has repeated that line as fact. Trump is an imperfect candidate but he is probably the only candidate who wouldn’t collapse under the pressure that his opponents have leveled at him. He has also attracted partners(RFKjr, Tulsi, Vivek, Vance) who will have major responsibilities & influence within his administration.
Good luck, America! You don’t have many more chances to save yourself.
It seems to me that people have been effectively erasing their memories of the “covid” years (‘cause they don’t want to remember how they behaved like sheep and tyrants and they were wrong on everything), However, in doing so, folks have erased the fact that Trump was in office already and he didn’t act any more dictatorial than his predecessors or his successors. Not excusing him for the lockdown bullshit but it was B/H that mandated covid shots and colluded to censor people, not Trump.
This has nothing to do with liking Trump or even voting for him. These rabid ”Trump is Hitler” folk have either zero self-awareness and zero recollection of their own authoritarian behavior. That’s the worst part.
I still say the vax was a necessary evil for Trump, the least bad option. Please remember (and most seemingly do not): absent the vax we were on a path to ruin, endless shutdown, economy crash and permanent subjugation. Instead, Big Pharma took the bait, and the vax of necessity become the reason to reopen. And if you were paying attention, you did your best not to take the vax, although some were forced by their peers not Trump to take the vax. It was your neighbors, employers and co-workers who betrayed you, not Trump. Remember. All fell for the Democrat narrative. It was a terrible time.
I’d agree on the governor’s part and I don’t personally fault Trump for going along with his advisors per se (they’re all to blame) but all the travel measures etc were all horseshit and had no basis in scientific reality. In fact the whole idea of a singular RNA virus spreading across the globe with fidelity is a biological fantasy (and that’s not a no-virus position). To this day he has yet to earnestly admit that it was all nonsensical - transfections (mRNA shots), lockdown, ventilators, etc. Now, if he brought that up now, that would likely affect his votes but someone of political note has to keep calling the whole thing out. If you have the time and the inclination I’d suggest reading the substacks/sites of Denis Rancourt, Jessica Hockett, JJ Couey and Mike Yeadon to see how deep the covid bamboozle was. For me the Trump administration will be tainted with the handling of “covid” just as the BH administration’s war on free speech and mandates makes is a threat to citizens etc. The former is clearly better on those things better but the government rot goes far deeper than any president and incumbent politicians can fix, IMHO.
The Left (or whatever those disgusts are), specialize in verbal legerdemain and studied obtuseness.
Well stated, Gail. The USA has destroyed itself. Thank the political class.
From the beach....

Gene, See ya there!
Wow. That was a barn burner of an article.
No, they will by no means “go quietly into that good night.” Not by a long shot.
It really is terrifying. My only hope is in God, and that He will hear and act upon enough of us praying for forgiveness for any of our own parts in letting the evil get this far, and our heartfelt commitment to never letting it happen again, by His continued grace.
We need a miracle (or many) of Divine Intervention to get us to finally rid and reverse the corruption that has nearly swallowed this country whole.
May God have mercy on us all.
Yes, we do.
"The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizens of this plight." ~ John F. Kennedy
Add to this Fran Lebowitz's call for the abolition of SCOTUS and then you have the perfect formula for "saving our democracy."
The photographer? Has she read A Canticle for Leibowitz? In the future, Jewish Catholic monks use technology to perform miracles to awe the simple peasants.
I read that book. A great book. I adopted the term "misbegotten" from it to apply to the democrat party.
Tell them about how Abraham was a righteous man so God gave him and his descendants all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Yes, it was because of Abraham's obedience in sacrificing Isaac, what we call a type and shadow of Christ, that Israel became Israel.
Mentioning Russell Brand makes me realize how many people of different stripes are coming out against this current madness that has gripped half the country. BTW, I like the look of your new site, much easier to read. Thanx.
"Mr. Kerry’s hapless utterance tells you all you need to know about how the party of John F. Kennedy turned years later into a demon-driven cult seeking to smash everything that was once noble and upright about our country."
The "demon driven cult" is the Kennedy Family. The same family that JFK's son, John F. Kennedy, Jr., referred to as "Post boys for bad behavior" add his own sister.
JFK's daughter, Caroline ("Sweet Caroline"), Ambassador Caroline Kennedy (she's divorced), while christening the USS Canberra (LCS-30), on July 22, 2023 in Sydney, Australia, made the follow statements. The USS Canberra, a combat vessel built in the United States for delivery to the Royal Australian Navy, Kennedy said how the ship would "support and protect the stability of the Rules Based Order throughout the world."
Whose Rules and whose Order we all know about by now. What used to be called the Rule of Law is now the Rules Based Order.
Caroline Kennedy has betrayed everything her father stood for. And everything her father was murdered for by the Rules Based Order in Dallas, Texas.
And speaking of Kennedys, let's not forget Caroline Kennedy's Uncle Teddy and Chappaquiddick.
And speaking of Uncle "Jack" JFK, let's add the misadventures of another Kennedy offspring -- JFK's nephew Bobby Kennedy, Jr.
Bobby Kennedy, Jr's wife was found hanging in the Kennedy barn. Everyone should be concerned about how If another Kennedy were to become president, it will be the American People found hanging in the Kennedy barn that the United States would become.
This is how sick things have become. We have to end the reign of terror that the nepotism of these elected-for-life professional politicians engage in -- the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, the Pelosi's, the Schumer's, the Cuomo's, the McCains -- just to name a few. Even the Founding Fathers engaged in this crap. John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Both became presidents, and both bungled being parents. And yes, the Kennedys.
“If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.” – Jackie Kennedy
Including destroying a country.
The Laws of Nature are very strict. Thus human law, both written and in terms of common law or custom, must be as well. The Libertarian obsession with "Freedom" (never defined) is a mania; a red faced two year old screaming when they don't get what they want.
Any definition of Freedom must include adherence to the strict laws of life, or "the rules".
A "libertarian" world would just be an endless series of lawsuits. 95% of the country would need to be lawyers or judges, just to handle the case load.
Please explain how this happened?
"On May 4, 2014, Jack Schlossberg, President Kennedy's grandson, presented the 2014 Profile in Courage Award to former President George H.W. Bush and former Mayor Paul Bridges."

Inbreeding. Jack Schlossberg is going to become President of the United States one day. Just ask him mom, Caroline Kennedy.
Caroline Kennedy is still married to Edwin Schlossberg, but is separated from him.
Interesting comment. I had to look her status up.
Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg had been separated for decades. Last I had heard Kennedy was going to get a divorce to protect her wealth. That kind of sealed it for me.
However, the death of Robert F. Kennedy ‘s granddaughter Saoirse Kennedy Hill from “acute methadone and ethanol toxicity in combination with other prescription medications," along with pressure from the kids for the parents to reunite, brought about a reconciliation of sorts between Kennedy and Schlossberg.
One source noted: "It's complicated." Ya think?
Kennedy and Schlosberg's marital status is still listed as "separated." But not divorced. So, I stand corrected.
"I was for the First Amendment before I was against it." —Lurch
I sure hope there is still a spark remaining of the good things in the USA. But, ya know where hope usually gets ya these days.
They'll do more than that.
We are indeed at the “precipice of disaster” my term but feel free to use it because that’s where we are at. Not headed, we are at that point right now. Trump came through in his quest to bring us back to this point again. I never thought he could after the swearing in of JB. You gotta give him some credit for steering us back here against impossible odds.
I would say this brief window will last until at least Feb 2025. It could indeed be extended should the right fuse get lit. Basically we are at a point in time where all hell could break loose. Plenty of different cliffhangers out there to cause it.
Unfortunately this is probably a good thing which explains my gratitude for DT getting us here. My concern is that nothing happens and KH steals her way to the presidency in similar fashion to 2020. That will be the nail in our coffin.
If Harris is installed as president, I will never vote again, since it'll be a waste of time.
I suspect you are probably right about that. 2024 is pretty straightforward; we either live to fight another day or we are dead.
I was considering never voting again when dementia pedo corrupt joey from Scranton was installed. I might still since all the years I've voted, we are worse off every year. Thinking back on the puppets the deep state selected bush, romney, mccain turns my stomach more than usual.
Scranton Joe, I love that.
Just an ordinary American, Joey from Scranton, PA. Joey drove trucks, was a lifeguard and graduated in the top ten at law school. Great guy, joey. The hairs on his legs would turn blonde in the sun. You're a dog faced pony soldier if you don't believe him.
Yeah, that's what I said to a friend, once. I said with every administration, we sink deeper into the mire, in spite of all that praying for our nation. Think God is trying to tell us something?
things only get worse every election cycle. That saying if voting would make a difference, it would be illegal is fact check mostly true. Then there is always the what else can we do? Just because the entire country is purposefully dumbed down is no reason not to vote. Deep state puppet A is better than deep state puppet B. Of course Trump is better than the cackling moron hyena. That is small comfort.
Also in Spring 2025, many of the new Vaxx super-factories under construction are due to come into operation.
Now, isn't that something to look forward to?
A very good question. and one of a thousand we would like to see aired and discussed at length through, say, debates, you know, like the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. And Trump knew that Carambola did not want to debate him- so what does he do?- reject all future debates. So we are left in the dark.
Interesting that the Deagle Report has the US population down to 100 million in 2025.
Back when Bill Clinton, then the supposed leader of the free world, shipped Elian Gonzales back to Cuba, and better than sixty percent of the population supported that decision, I thought that Americans didn't even think like Americans anymore, and John Kerry's statement underscores that.
The majority of Americans don’t think at all.
Nothing is more American than Amy Coney Barrett adopting two Black teenagers from Africa while she was late in pregnancy. She couldn't turn it up. She had been "looking for something like this".
