"It ought to be clear now that the initial Hillary Clinton campaign prank metastasized into the worst perversion of abusive government power in our country’s history, and is yet on-going."
Until there are very real, substantive consequences, this type of malevolent behavior will continue on the part of the Left. Just what "consequences" is something for an impartial court of law to determine, but something had better occur as a result of all of this. I for one am tired beyond words of a de facto two-tiered system of justice. I'm tired of hearing of things that likely rise to the level of treason that go unpunished. I am tired of the lies, the insults to my intelligence. Most of all, I am tired of being witness to the outright insanity played out daily on the part of the Left without the consequences I would face should I attempt to walk in their shoes. This must end. If it takes the unprecedented (think the age-old sanction for acts of treason), then so be it. If it angers and triggers those who are already angry and triggered, more the better. I sense a groundswell picking up steam throughout the country - one that like a tide that washes away the detritus from a beach - will wash away the evil that we've tolerated for far too long.
Excellent comment, if I could I would give it 10 "likes"!
I totally agree with you that I am sick and tired of having my intelligence insulted by these Satanic scumbags.
Another thing- Living in Nueva York as I do, I am surrounded by misguided (to put it kindly) blood relatives and acquaintances who suffer from severe TDS.
These are the people who proudly wore the face diapers and got numerous booster shots of the phony CVD vax. Not only do these people not read very much- certainly not anything on Substack or alt media) but they are completely brainwashed by whatever media they do consume on their screens.
Furthermore- their brains have been affected by the mRNA jabs to the point where I think some of them are half retarded.
I love my adult children and they are great in every respect except POLITICS.
I am seeing this, too. And I lived through their scorn since 2016 election season. I am hearing about their tinnitus, vertigo, strokes over the winter, long covid, cancer, etc. I send them my concern, but who knows what they think about me now? No apologies from anyone.
Can totally relate to that, NY Nanny - my 3 best pals suffer from severe chronic cases of TDS and nothing I say can convince them that woke ideology they've been brainwashed with is just wrong.
Unfortunately, your 3 best pals would be equally right to say, "Louis suffers from a severe chronic case of Trump Adoration Syndrome and nothing that we say can convince him that the MAGA bullshit that he's been brainwashed with is just wrong."
So ... you're half right. Until you comprehend that TPTB run both Demonrats and Republicons in their divide-and-conquer m.o./racket, you're just waving your red pom-poms at a high school football game.
I know I speak for multitudes when I say that I am extremely disappointed in Trump this term. Although he's done some good things, we are nowhere near correcting course, and his behavior in other areas, such as this new medical ID push via big tech, for example, has me feeling rather betrayed and, yes, gaslit by him. That said, there is no Trump worship here—far from it, and with multitudes of others in chorus, we are simply longing for truth, justice, and the American way—just fucking once, once and for all..
"Just vote for me this one last time! After this [election], you'll never need to vote again." - DJT
Trump is one of them. Trump is an actor who trained his whole life for his role. Trump's MIT uncle received all of Nikola Tesla's notes. Trump has been one of them since birth.
I hate to say it, but as things stand right now, Trump seems more like one of "them" now more than he ever has before. Can he turn it around, sure, but he's moving in the wrong direction so far as I can tell. He's making all the same mistakes he made in his first term, but worse. Unlike then, he is now beholden to far more interest groups who reside firmly in Swampy neighborhoods.
The franchise is a precious thing; a treasure not to be given out like candy to noisy children, but only the men of proven worth. Anything else is "democracy" or mob rule - which means rule by the secret operators who control the mob.
I'm female. If we can get America back to some sort of semblance of normalcy, I'd gladly give up my vote. Most women make decisions based on empathy, and empathy is great, most especially if you're an elementary school teacher. It's not always the best policy when running a nation.
Shibumi - your comment is kind and well-reasoned. Men need empathy too in a healthy society or culture. I think the difference is men can, and must have, that cold, hard edge, when necessary - an edge real women lack. Feminists have it though, but used more in spite, than for the good of a nation.
Truth told, my +100 was more in jest, regarding the last sentence, but you've touched on the more important point of Alzaebo's comment. Your willingness to give up your vote is commendable though - you're a real woman.
My brother went to his grave unforgiving - me, for NOT getting jabbed and for being pro-Trump. Sad, sad, sad, but I have to admit, my first words once I heard he had passed were, "Guess you now know what an idiot you were!" LOL
Since the beginning of time, every culture has had the same two choices; protect your way of life or lose it. As long as we refuse to protect our way of life, we'll continue losing it. When we decide to protect our way of life, we will save what remains.
The sad truth is, as time goes by, less and less of our current way of life will be worth saving. It really is that simple. Am I on the "Burn-it-Down" bandwagon? Nope. I'm driving it.
Someone needs to convince Canada of this fact. The Western four realize that fact, that Ottawa is leading them into the European cesspool and they are better off affiliated with the USA. It will be an interesting year for Phil et al.
Canadians have no choice in the matter, JAZ. TPTB are destroying Western civilization according to their road map. Canada isn't a pawn but it's a rook.
-----
Someone needs to convince those with Trump Adoration Syndrome that it was Trump that interfered in our election to destroy the clear-headed Conservative Party election front-runner (Pierre Poilievre) for the benefit, quizzically, of the Central-Banker/WEFer scumbag (Mark Carney).
Also keep in mind that Trump completely changed the outcome of OUR federal election just three months ago [and then bragged about his interference in our election to your we-could-hardly-give-a-shit media!*]
Canada is following the European globaists' agenda now as per Donald J. Trump.
Trump succeeded in his election interference because of TDS. TPTB gave multitudes TDS as a big part of their simple divide-and-conquer m.o./racket. Sad but true.
*Have you ever noticed that America is paranoid about any other countries interfering in their navel-gazing, billionaire-ran MSM vacuum of an election but perfectly nonchalant about they themselves interfering in every other election on earth?
Trust? Alberta, the vanguard, has more connections into the western USA than to either Ottawa or DC. The western USA has about the same “trust” of DC that West Canada has with Ottawa. I have predicted a split in North America West to East, Red to Blue, rural to city, for some time. An interesting sidelight is the West Coast of both countries, BC, Washington, Oregon and California, are Leftist but very different than the East. Is there something about salt water that addles the brain, why does insanity prevail on the coasts.
Is it just me, or do the EU leaders in Germany, France, and British leaders appear to be mimicking the Nazi leaders in Hitler's Germany, or the Stalinist clique? No goose stepping and black uniforms, yet, but the native populations definitely have the boot on their necks as they are subject to sudden arrests in the night with prompt imprisonment. Statements and memes against the favored invaders, who do not appear to be under any legal constraints, will get the natives incarcerated.
I think you nailed it, Ron. "The sad truth is, as time goes by, less and less of our current way of life will be worth saving. "
Man I like your comments.
What will be worth saving in America? I'm 51 years old and the other day I had a sharp pain in my chest. I thought it might be a heart attack but it turns out I pulled a bit of rib cartilege in my chest during my weight training. Hurt like a sum bitch but my heart is strong and healthy. Here's the kicker. As I was in the doctors office waiting to get checked out I actually found myself not minding if I were to keel over dead at that moment. There really isn't much in this world that would convince me to want to stick around. Nearly everything in this world sucks.
Architecture. Sucks. Compare modern buildings to those they built in the early 1900s. Architects have lost any creativity.
Sports. Sucks. With the advent of modern betting sports are rigged and corrupt to the teeth.
Women. Our women have corrupted themselves. Covering themselves with tattoos, piercings and fake colored hair. They are ugly inside and out. Femininity is dead.
Children. My children are decent enough but they are entitled, taking from me without gratitude or willingness to help out.
Music. What music. Music today is nothing more than black people twerking around to a false computer beat shouting unrecognizeable babble into the microphone.
Nature. Ever been to a national park lately? It is so clogged with people that one can't go anywhere without someone else waiting to push you out of the way for a selfie.
Family. What family? Our children don't have babies anymore so few of us are going to have any posterity. Posterity we do have probably lives 1000 miles away, they having chosen to go make more money than stay close to family.
Religion. Religions have failed us. There are no churches anymore that uphold strict moral virtues. All they teach now is "be nice." Useless.
Nope. Perversion, death, violence, decadence, sloth, ugliness, gluttony, obesity, filth and decay permeate our society to the very core. Is it really worth saving????
Cynicism is sooo easy that you don't see you're playing the victim.
Perhaps pop out the cultural Systems that are in place to take away your "sense" of agency. It's just a sense after all - you've always got it.
For example why would one go to a National Park in the summer if seeking solitude? There are so many other places in our country where there are few people. It's a choice.
Why do you see a MD? Go alternative because the "health system" is a racket and not designed for health. You got scared because of a pulled muscle because part of the system is to instill Fear.
Did you always think professional sports were fair (hint: they never have been)? Why watch the pros? See college sports or small league baseball for example which just as skilled but fair. Better yet play a sport and make new friends. Pickle ball leagues are out-of-control around here.
Religion is for some but Belief is for all. The growth in the Orthodox church is off the charts because of the strictness. People love it for that reason.
The music "industry" sucks but genres like jazz, folk, bluegrass remain and thrive. There is live music played everywhere and it's genuine and great. I spent last weekend at a free jazz festival and it was filled with families and groups of all ages.
The "architecture" of big box stores and the suburbs does cause despair but so many creative folks are out there creating alternatives in how residential architecture is done. You just have to look for it but it is very inspiring.
Women (and Men), family and children – relationships in general will never cease to be the source of emotional turmoil, disappointment but also joy. Literature, art and music draw from these things because it's part of the human experience and always has been. We are here to learn.
You don't have to literally die to get out of the culture and systems you describe. You just have to make a choice to get out like many of us have. Life is far better when you watch everything fail from afar.
You are more than welcome Cankerpuss. You provided me the opportunity to spread some optimism and I appreciate it.
I am no Pollyanna but I find it's easier to enjoy the human experience if I am off the main track.
No doubt you are a "thinking person" (real) so I believe you can find a way to successfully live in the culture on your own terms but outside of its systems. You've got a lot more living to do!
The "and Men" says it all. This is what has to change if there is to be any change worth having. Take care of men - get out of their way - and they will take care of women. Take care of women and men will die under bridges.
I think this is spot on, Cankerpuss. I just handed my children the keys to their first condos, paid for by my inheritance from my mother. I'm honoring the matrilineal line and circling the wagons to support my family. But neither of my children have any children and I don't see any progeny in their future. Their generation will be the last of the matrilineal bloodline, and the patrilineal also. Still, I feel obligated in good faith to help them get a foothold in the RE market which they could never accomplish on their own. Neither could I at their age. I am 66. But I had children to shelter, so held up my duty to further the family, and the matrilineal line supported me. My children, in turn, have not done so, and appear disinclined to reproduce. I am sad, but resigned, to the decline of our country and culture. I wish so much this were not so.
Get rid of no fault divorce and men might start marrying again. As it is, women bring more than 70% of the divorces. Why sign a contract that will reward the other party for breaking? Also, mandate dna testing for newborns to forestall feminine paternity fraud.
Like you I have family, actually a rather large one. When I look at the pictures of those beautiful little faces, and actually get to see them on video and talk with them, I realize there is nothing better than being a grandfather. I do what I can to maintain positivity even while fighting against the decline. Until I die, my responsibility is to my family, which includes protecting them from whatever threatens them. As Trump said, fight, fight, fight. He meant it from the bottom of his heart, and we who care about our country, families, and friends, can do no less.
Amor Fati. I have two teenagers so I feel it is my obligation to help them see light & humor in our dark world. Stoicism, non-duality, poking fun and laughing at all of the absurdities of our modern world helps. Although I agree with all your grievances listed, every time my kids and I go out together, we have a blast watching Rome burn.
I said exhaustive, not exhausting. What are your bright spots of hope? You improve your body, right? Hope your rib heals up as quickly as one can hope for at 51.
I guess I'll have to learn what "exhaustive" means. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, to be sure :)
Over the years I have found that the big things and important people ultimately will let me down. So, I try to focus on the little things that bring me peace and joy. Taking a cool morning walk with my dear wife. Sitting on my patio and watching my Corgi sniff around the back yard or chase a butterfly. Pulling weeds and tilling the soil in my garden. Changing the oil or tuning the carburetor on my 1968 Camaro. Watching my adult children interact with their siblings and enjoying it. A good afternoon nap. A big bowl of banana pudding! A good weight training session at the gym (getting harder as I age).
The world, by and large, is a ruined place. It is in the little things of life that I try to find joy and peace. It helps.
I've been a body builder for two decades and now when I train it often feels like something is going to snap. Getting old sucks, Beth. It certainly aint for sissies.
Yes the Church Hierarchy have Sold ,the Education? System have Dumbed the Kids Down and I believe their will be more People wanting to depart this life because they see NO WAY OUT.
CP - You're not wrong, but I can see it's time for one of our pep talks. Give me a little time - weekend likely. Thanks for the props - goes both ways, my friend.
Ah, so you're a Gym Rat. I knew we had some unknown common bond. Life's just like the gym - you get in there and grind, every day you train, you grind, come sunshine or rain, hot or cold.
You stare down the iron pile and force it into submission. Like a ratchet - every day you maintain your strength or get stronger - there's no going back.
You know the mindset - take no prisoners. Look at life the same way - same mentality. The iron silently challenges you, so does life. Handle them both, with unyielding will.
The young lion's ain't got us yet - neither has life. Sixty-three and still grinding, in the gym and in life. Hang in there.
Yes sir, I spend an hour there 3 days a week and Monday, Wednesday, Friday am up at 4:00 a.m. and there from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. I was a real specimen in my youth. I can still hang with the younger meatheads that come in but the stamina is not what it used to be. I don't care what the body throws at me, even if I end up a paraplegic, I will still find my way to the iron. Not only does it keep me physically able but it helps bolster my moods.
359 on the bench? Damn! I never topped 300. Got to 290 in my prime. Today I'm hanging around 250. At least I can bench my body weight. ;)
Tore my left biceps muscle a decade ago and had to have surgery to re-attach the muscle to the bone. When that sucker went it sounded like someone clapped their hands in my ear and I could feel the damned tendon spring back into my shoulder. PTSD to this day.
I agree--but what troubles me is how each new generation has less of an idea of how things used to be or should be. Things which make me livid, they shrug at. They just shrug it off. This is the real attrition. Cultures used to stave this off with tradition and generational insights which is why the cultural wars in the last 125 years in particular have aimed their arrows at it.
Yes! The Marxists attempt to erase history - traditions, monuments, names, heroes (especially those of the recalcitrant, rebellious sort) - for that very reason. So, there is no baseline for the current generation. The Marxists then normalize today's corrupted cultural mores, and then say to the current generation, "See? This is how it's always been." A flat out lie.
How very true AM. One day whilst being in some kinda mood and chatting with a young gal at the drive in window of my pharmacy, I told her I felt sorry for her as she's never known what it's like to live in a 'normal' world. How can we ever expect to get back even a semblance of what once was? Tradition is now seen as an anachronism. How sad and utterly depressing unless there were any chance of something better.
Even if HRC, Obama, and the rest stood up in front of a bank of microphones and said "Yes, we did it to trash Trump, to loot Ukraine, and to crack open Russia" I fear that most people who've developed the Russia Derangement Syndrome simply wouldn't believe them. The Orange Man and Russia Bad psych ops on the American public (and the world at large, really) has been multi pronged, relentless, and ongoing on for over a decade. And as absurd as it was, it was remarkably successful thanks to confirmation bias and narrative control. Reversing it now ain't gonna be easy. It's Too Big.
To hell with them, Ned. Literally and figuratively. Let them go to hell. As I said to my left-leaning late brother, I know I can't convert you and I'm not about to waste my time. I harbor no animus to those suffering from TDS or who otherwise hold different opinions from mine. I do harbor animus toward those who seek my destruction for not adhering to their views - it is an existential dynamic. If one seeks to inflict harm, then all bets are off, so to speak. And if one seeks to inflict harm upon my country, then they should be treated in a manner that befits their status.
Love your comment, Thomas. Your words reflect exactly how I feel. I keep hoping that one of these days Mr. Kunstler's astute predictions of arrests and justice will finally come to pass and justice will be brought down up on the heads of these rotten psychopathic fuckers.
I hold my breath, though.
Why? In your last sentence you said, "I sense a groundswell picking up steam throughout the country- one that like a tide that washes away the detritus from a beach, will wash away the evil that we've tolerated for far too long." Here's the problem, Thomas. The Federal Government is a bright reflection of the American people. Let's look at the similarities:
1. The Federal Government can't live within its means - the American people can't live with in their means. They are buried by debt buying shit they don't need with money they don't have.
2. The Federal Government is immoral and wicked - The American people are immoral and wicked. Divorce rates are high. Religion is dying in America. People sleep with whomever they want, create children and then refuse to raise them. Pornography is rampant. Drugs are out of control.
3. The Federal Government kills without remorse - Abortion kills millions of innocent babies per year. Americans worship death. Every TV show is about sex and murder. Violence is rampant in the entertainment Americans "enjoy."
For the sake of brevity I won't go on but I could. Nothing will be repaired in this Country until the people have corrected themselves and righted their moral compasses. Thus far, I am not seeing this happen. We need a righteous and moral people to have a righteous and moral government that stays within its bounded limitations. That does not exist in America right now.
I am saddened by what you wrote. I cannot offer any argument, but I will say that there are those (a minority) who seek to to foist their ruinious, perhaps even satanic, vision upon the masses. Let's not condemn an entire society for the actions of these few. I for one live a life that is marked by thrift (buy only what is needed, with the money I possess), fidelity to the Golden Rule with a nod to the 10 commandments, and concord (even though it is frequently mistaken for weakness, which has unfortunate consequences for those who make this error). We do what we can do. Do what you can do to be an instrument of the Lord, who is ultimately in charge of everything.
Thomas, it's people like you who give me hope that there are people out there who do still reject the decadence and the lascivious that is so prevalent in our society. I only report on what I observe around me. We live in a world that by and large is a ruined place, dominated by evil and filth. That's the truth of the matter. Anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves. However, that being said, there are still many good and decent people out there who love their spouses, their children, live within their means, treat their neighbors with respect and work hard to support themselves. Unfortunately, they are the silent ones.
What's the saying about being in the world but not of the world?
The saying "in the world but not of the world" comes from Christian theology, based on John 17:14-16 in the Bible, where Jesus prays for his disciples, saying they are in the world but not of it, as they belong to God. It means living in society, engaging with its realities, but not adopting its values or behaviors when they conflict with spiritual or moral principles. Christians interpret it as a call to maintain distinct beliefs while still participating in worldly life, like working or socializing, without being consumed by materialism or sin.
"Fools"? Ad hominem much? As for "the rest of us"...do what you wish -- not one of us "fools" will place so much as a straw on the ground to impede you from living as you wish. Suffice it to say, when you speak of demons, bear in mind that your angels may very well be our demons.
I was angered by Cank and fully in agreement with you in sweeping one's own doorstep, Thomas. Thank you for the quick reply; since I am only causing trouble and not helping in any way, please allow me to delete, with apologies to all. Cankerpuss is lamenting all that has been lost.
Addendum: surprisingly, rereading your final sentence is exactly what i was thinking. The pious, without knowing, opened the door to demons wearing a mask. Since none will fight for evil, evil must disguise itself as good - and all will fight for what they see as good.
What did I say that angered you, Alzaebo? I firmly believe that if the people were righteous they would have no tolerance for an unrighteous government.
If my comment was offensive to you, I apologize. Didn't mean to offend anyone.
Not yet John, but the Demoncraps are still working on bringing us down to the 3rd world level. Hope and pray that ICE can get the job done despite the Demoncrap and their satanic captured judges, who truly are working to destroy the U.S. to bring about their socialist, then marxist paradise.
Like i mentioned last week….i am hoping Trump gets Medieval. If the consequences are not glaringly harsh, you are right, then the left will never ever change. I think Trump has it in him to do what is necessary to accomplish the demise of the left political party of treason, communism, and hatred. It’s time to dismantle it.
And destroy it. America was designed as a one party system in its Constitution. Parties are never mentioned, the three branches are supposed to do positive things for the people with no partisan bickering. The legislature, for example, is a body conceived to gather info, provide a large body brain trust to make laws and act for the people. Hahahahahahaha! Folks like AOC and Crockett show how distorted the original charter has corrupted. The Presidency is the executor of what the Congress comes up with. Again, what a distortion has occurred as presidents have struggled to get any direction from the Congress and thus have tried to execute an American plan as they alone see fit. The judicial? What a joke. SCOTUS is in the Constitution and a reference to a federal judiciary at the discretion of Congress. Instead we have a bunch of Leftist asshats trying to take over being the supreme rulers of the land.
It is amazing to witness, I have been watching since the 60s, to see how much has been distorted by the Deep State. This land of ours have been ripped apart by the advances of the Deep State with its neocon war behavior and gimme encouragement all in the name of more and more power.
BTW, the best way to curtail power people is to remove their power, the best punishment is to remove them from the power of the Deep State. We are waiting for Trump to tear down the Deep State. His main weapon is Bondi and the DOJ. The voters are the ONLY weapon that America has against the pollution known as the House of Representatives. If what passes for a legislature right now is indicative of what America really is, we are in deep (state) shit.
Gorgeous George Washington in his farewell address admonished those at the time to avoid partisan politics and to avoid foreign entanglements. Nobody listened.
I anticipate a slew of charges against many of the bad actors who participated in the Hillary Clinton "prank" that led to the Mueller Investigation witch hunt, Impeachment 1, the stolen 2020 election, the J6 setup, Impeachment 2, 34 felony convictions against Trump and 2 attempts on his life.
The Justice Department is just starting to tee this up with great assists from the Department of National Intelligence who has released batches of incriminating evidence that only the lame brain democrats will ignore.
Like many patriots, I'd be surprised and sorely disappointed if what we've seen so far is not followed up by more evidence (and charges) showing criminal involvement by the same rascals surrounding the 2020 election, J6, and possibly the assassination attempts and the Covid-19 outbreak.
The 2026 elections are approaching fast and we need to build a strong foundation to support a major revamping of our election laws. Exposing and arresting the Clinton/Obama/Brennan/Pelosi, et al criminal cartel members must happen. I believe it will happen this time. It will be both fascinating to watch the indictments handed out, and worrisome as the lunatics lash out in response. There may not be another chance to fix our country and take these guys out. Now is the time. Let's roll.
Patience is not part of the normal human experience. In any legal case, it takes a lot of time to marshal the evidence and then to try it out among neutral observers to see if it will stick. Americans want instant gratification and the law does not, and cannot, provide that. Patience is required and sometimes even that is not enough.
I find it most disconcerting to be one of the very few who are aware that HRC is more than likely deceased and the clamoring for her to be called to accountability on this earth is therefore not bloody likely. It is especially disconcerting when it comes from those who probably know alot better.
That "tide" will not become the King Tide that is necessary until the Public gets some real pain in their lives. They ain't seen nothin' yet. They are still complacent, because ignorant, and firmly lodged in their normalcy bias - and then blame the wrong people again. I bet there is not one person in a thousand who knows who created the Great Depression, and why.
Kudos! I paid full price to send my superlatives to JHK, who always calls it like it is in his rare these days, traditional, literate journalism. Your reply has done the same. I have lived in lefty Philadelphia and their suburbs my entire life. I mingle at the Jersey Shore with the affluent NYers and Philly/Main line lefties with their head up their ass, and the other half buried in the sand. Scared to be too close without the asbestos lined panties on their face OUTSIDE. When I tell these suicidal pro abortionists about body autonomy, their answer is not when I could kill everyone. Dumbass TDS addled, overpaid morons.
Holy Crap Thomas ... i am literally playing suede head 2011 remastered when i saw you avatar... my skin is crawling... on Spotify its the same exact pix on your avatar
Thomas I have to go a different tangent of subject matter...J.Powell!I am tired of being a slave and a mule for the likes of Bankers,Corporations,Politicians and the Two tier justice system.The fact that Powell refuses to lower interest rates is him just tightening the shackles we all wear beholden to the bankers.The banks/ers are making hand over fist in interest right now whether one has good credit even making payoff longer and dragged out.The FED has to be broken and this fiat money system thrown out with the baby it's going to hurt but a hard reset is in order not just for us but the world.The Rothchilds have ruled long enough caused enough wars and bloodshed a nicely decorated lamp post is not far from my desires.
I am tired of the brainwashed masses that still think there is a left & a right, a republican & a democrat, a liberal & a conservative, a christian & a jew.
Oh, you mean the talented, tireless Elmo Musk who paid off every zoning board and political entity of concern to disregard any and all zoning and environmental laws regarding the Memphis, Tennessee metro area so he could destroy water systems and subvert the environment all for an AI DATA CENTER??? YEAH, THAT DISGUSTING POS ELMO MUSK. Same one who dressed in an all black leather Baphomet costume on recent Halloween. The one who cannot impregnate enough women? The one who was bonking Amber Heard while she was still married to JD? No, we need less of his kind.
"I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its illegitimate government, and let it revert to being the frontier backwater it was for eight decades previous, when it was not a problem for the other nations of the region."
Very good. It WAS all about seizing Russia's natural resources. The real war is here--and so are our enemies, and Trump's. He's gotta know that they're still trying to kill him, and accelerating the Ukraine War is just a big trap for him that he should just avoid. Let's hope so.
Mr Kunstler nailed it! Call it “Operation Barbarossa: Part Deux”. Never understood why - post Soviet collapse - the Russians are constantly framed as “the bad guys”. Look, when the Soviets had 20 armored divisions poised to plunge thru the Fulda Gap in a blitzkrieg-style offensive across the Western European plain, I get it but that hasn’t been reality since 1991. Reading between the lines of all this the takeaway- IMHO - is that western govts saw an opportunity to exploit Russian natural resources via big corporations like Blackhawk & Halliburton. Remember John McStain’s comment about Russia being “a big gas station”?
Moreover if there’s evidence that Russia seeks to dominate Eastern Europe by all means bring it on. Don’t see Putin as “Hitler!” (If everybody is “Hitler!” then no one is; the “Hitler!” comparisons are so overused they are redundant @ this point) but rather a Russian patriot.
The U.S.’s biggest mistake was winning World War II then not dismantling the Military Industrial Complex it created after the war was over. The MIC went on the hunt for new dragons to slay & while communism was certainly a threat, the hot wars in Korea & Vietnam were totally unnecessary. Maybe we couldn’t see that @ the time but hindsight is always 20/20.
Remember the Roosevelt administration was riddled with communist sympathizers and their goal is and has always been the destruction of the United States. They did not go away they went underground and we call them the CIA.
“…the Roosevelt administration with riddled with communist sympathizers…’
Precisely why he handed Eastern Europe over to Joe Stalin on a silver platter. Think Churchill practically had a heart attack trying to head this off & stop it but FDR was totally enthralled with “Uncle Joe”, who was anything but.
I agree with you however; I wouldn't agree that FDR was alone. churchill was also part of the collusion to hand over Eastern Europe to the Bolsheviks. Churchill was influenced/pressured? by the City of London crowd.
Churchill fought it tooth and claw, Sir. Publicly and in lecture down the road from me in his famous ‘Iron Curtain’ warning. The City of London crowd demoted him as soon as he won the war.
That is correct. FDR was a shadow of himself at Yalta, giving Eastern Europe away to the USSR. Power always tries to dominate power, Stalin was no saint but was as should be expected. Remember too that Russia liberated East Europe from the Germans and their aim was to make sure no adversary would repeat the Hitler debacle. Guns and Butter! Russia went broke trying to run the the gimme police state of Eastern Europe and trying to keep up with the USA in an arms race. They do not want any part of Eastern Europe now.
Churchill warned against Jewish Communism as a young man and was apparently severely warned not to say such a thing ever again. His debts were mysteriously paid and the path towards power was made clear for him.
When Prince Peter of Poland somehow gained an audience with the Three Amigos to protest the betrayal of Poland to Stalin, only Churchill had the dignity to feel ashamed and look down. FDR simply said icily, It has been decided. Stalin said nothing but was enjoying the scene immensely.
Nay more: To his credit, Churchill raged against the mass importation of 3rd Worlders in Britain after the war. It was as if Britain had lost or something (they had). But he had served his purpose and was elbowed aside. Hitler had warned Britain: If you fight Germany again, you will lose your Empire. Now they are losing their very nation.
Did he? There are documents that relate to Churchill's secret meeting with Stalin without FDR/Americans in October 1944 where he and Eden negotiated who would dominate which countries. Are these sources correct, IDK, I wasn't there. I can accept your characterization of the events surrounding the allies capitulation to the Bolsheviks of the Soviet Union. the result is the same, control by the City of London in deference to the Bolsheviks they supported.
Agreed, Hayek said to never let the war planners get in charge of the economy, or they'd never let it go.
Half of our Federal budget is devoted to war. Half!! And we don't even realize how lopsided that is. It's like saying mold has only taken half the loaf, so we've still got something to eat.
The Koran speaks of a powerful Arabian civilization devoted to commerce and war. It was exterminated by a great sandstorm that lasted a day, a night, and another day. Neither the buildings nor the people were every seen again.
Actually, the lack of cohesion in the USA since its inception has made it necessary to use their tools to unify and give it a common culture, a common purpose. Unfortunately for us, this is “Wag the Dog”. America has been in a war about every twenty years since it was created as the PTB in the DC scene try to keep all the diverse groups focused on a common purpose:
Kill the enemy, the enemy that the government creates.
BTW, nothing new here. Corrupting “Leaders” have been creating enemies since humanity was created. Cain has been killing Abel since Genesis.
And how many wars have been fought on American soil? Lincoln's war on the southern states? The Mexican American war? Not many. Which means America has largely been the aggressor in these wars, not the defender. America lost the moral high ground a long time ago.
Side note, we actually bought the territory won in the Mexican War.
Mexico had only owned it for 27 years, it was previously owned by Spain for 147 years. We offered $30 million, as it was sparsely inhabited and under constant attack by the Apaches and the vast Comanche slave empire. Mexico turned it down, having abolished slavery in 1829 to discourage slave-owning settlers, still an open question in the United States.
We reimbursed Mexico $15 million dollars, as the War had left them deeply in debt, and the Republic of Texas didn't want any more trouble. Mexico already had its plate full, with political turmoil, Comancheros, dictatorships, and 3 more civil wars ending in 1920 (or '29, the war with the Church.)
Yup, but every 20 years or so internal conflict gets the government to create a new enemy to go to war with. Nothing better for unity than a common foe.
Decades ago I saw it coming: Russia was being conflated with Nazi Germany in pop culture. This is operant conditioning. Associate something new with a previously condition object. Why start from scratch? Why waste the previous effort?
There is a revenge element that is part of this on the part of the neocons. Yes, the City of London bankers want the money they stole from Russia in the 90's and Putin maneuvered to take back, back. There you have it the oldest economic agenda is the scramble for scarce resources both in the Heartland of Eurasia to the oil fields of the Middle East.
Exactly, our worst enemy is domestic, and our foreign enemies know it and use the fact. Sowing discord is what BRICS+ et al are doing. Invasion is just one of the current processes that are proving to be successful. The group that ran the White House and Congress under Biden are the worst enemies that America has ever had in its history.
A really good question here, was it they were under Biden or Biden was a stuttering puppet under them.
I think it started in 2014 with the US overthrow of the legitimate government of the territory of Ukraine.
The US overthrows a lot of legitimate governments. This particular overthrow created an existential problem for Russia and its Federation.
Mr. Putin was quite clear with his objectives regarding the Special Military Operation:
Neutral Ukraine (translation = No NATO expansion into the territory))
DeNazification (translation = Get rid of the ideologic descendants of the WW2 fascists in the territory
He has shown a lot of patience as NATO (the US proxy in Europe and elsewhere) continues to wage war against Russia using Ukrainians as cannon fodder.
For those wishing for his overthrow, Dmitry Medvedev appears next in line, with a history of holding positions of substance in the Russian Federation. Compared to Dmitry Medvedev, Vladimir Putin will look like a pacifist.
Regarding the actions vs Japan in the 1930's, the names have changed along with the geography, the script remains essentially unaltered.
Fortunately Russia is likely the most self sufficient nation unlike Japan. They do not need to import energy or natural resources. They can hunker down and laugh at sanctions longer than anyone else. They can pay in Gold or oil for just about anything they could conceivably need.
You, like so many, are just waiting for the bomb to drop on Trump, for the tariffs to tear trade apart.
Ain’t going to happen!!! All that is happening is that America is going to have access to foreign markets that have had tariffs so high to keep American goods out of their countries. The balance of trade between the USA and the world is moving to be more equal. How can anyone want the continuance of trillions of dollars flowing out of this country into the pockets of foreigners. The tariffs are reciprocal. The tariffs punish countries that have taken advantage of American beneficence for a long time, Japan immediately comes to mind. Canada and Mexico too. NAFTA and USMCA were a joke, allowing the American economy to move next door. This shit will stop under Trump as he continues to push punitive tariffs against both countries. Surprise, they are going to find out that they need our consumer base more than we need them.
That's a tough call. I mean, can you imagine as corrupt a bunch as the Third World countries holding anything together for very long?
On the other hand, the CIPS alternative to SWIFT is resource-based rather than debt-based and far superior as a settlememt platform.
When it comes to corruption, the Anglosphere used to make it look pretty, but now the sheer scale of corruption in the Blackmail Nations almost rivals anything you used to find in the Warsaw Pact.
We aren't to East German levels (headlights on bright at noon due to the coal smog) or Chinese toxicity of air, land, water, just yet, but with solar and wind toxifying our soils as fast as they can buy up farmland, and AI centers or urban overpopulation sucking up the available freshwater, we may get to the garbage mountains and trash-choked rivers of the Emerging Nations soon.
"How can anyone want the continuance of trillions of dollars flowing out of this country into the pockets of foreigners."
The tariffs have to be balanced against a cruel necessity; The limitations of attention spans and the election cycle. Tariffs are not simply revenue, they're also intended to be a magnet for investment.
The complexity of modern supply chains makes production capital-intensive, and drawing investment requires promising a return. Returns on foreign investments accrue to foreign places.
President Trump inherited an extraordinary level of currency debasement. That inflated currency spurred even more money creation as it worked its way through the distribution curve.
Time presses, and the only way to avoid an impending implosion and deflation is by inflating asset bubbles. Foreign equity is the only quick way to do that.
With only four years to shepherd those capital flows, the monetary velocity acceleration at the "main street" points of distribution, may not sequester a sufficiency of domestic growth engines to achieve and sustain the desired and required repatriation of ownership.
There are those who insist that it cannot, and they have a point that mustn't be ignored. It is a huge gamble, and all that we can do is to wait and see. There is more to this than simply creating investment vehicles and hoping that a terminally-distorted market will do the rest of the work.
Given the lack of national will to endure the sort of targeted austerity required to restore balanced monetary velocity within the domestic distribution curve, I don't see where the president had much choice but to inflate asset bubbles with migratory capital. Something had to be done, and each of the few options is fraught with risk.
As far as I can see at this point, foreign extraction of aggregate American wealth will continue at an unsustainably (for Americans) high rate. I very much hope that my assessment is flawed in a way that favors domestic ownership of essential industry. Viewing it all from the perspective of accruals presents a picture that is fascinating and rather horrifying, in equal measure.
Even assuming a positive trajectory for President Trump's maneuvers, his successor will inherit an extreme measure of risk. Should that person blink, it will all come to naught.
Time will tell if this desperate gamble pays off. There are always errors, and we must pray that they are remediable.
Well, no. 1. Yes I drive a Toyota because it is the only brand that offers a plug in hybrid. I buy cars for gas efficiency and the RAV4 Prime is a perfect vehicle for suburban use. If Ford built a similar vehicle I would favor America made. Until then?
You are aware that MAGA folks in DC are talking about rebating part of the tariff money back to the people. I do not agree with that, thinking that debt payoff should be a priority. Remember the “surplus” Clinton ran in the late 1990s? Bush gave everyone a tax cut which led right into the 2008 debacle. The government needs to be run like a business, pay off your debt or face bankruptcy.
You think the USA is on its way out and tariffs will accentuate that. You have to compare to the rest of the world, where we are far superior. The rest of the world is kowtowing to Trump because they have no choice.
What would happen if the whole world had reciprocal tariffs of 10%? Pretty soon, everyone would realize the stupidity of EVERYONE paying a needless 10% surcharge. Would the result possibly free trade?
American reliance on unearned income is the primary chokepoint, regardless of relative advantage in the balance of trade.
Your proposed refinements are sensible. The issue they face is the way realpolitik dictates other refinements that negate them. President Trump cannot do other than engage in a bewildering game of whack-a-mole. His deal with Japan is a competitive disadvantage for essential American industry.
To my mind, there are two examples that highlight the problem; Delco and Capicom. The former is a poster child for what occurs at the component level, the latter an example of how defect rates affect accelerated obsolescence.
As far as cost of ownership goes, look at the amortization of thirsty UIO. It's no accident that the fleet offerings have accompanying frictions for retail purchasers.
If you're of a certain vintage, I suspect that you remember the tipping point; environmental regulation unaccompanied by protective trade barriers. That particular regulatory burden precipitated a cost transfer that triggered a production facility reamortization uncompetitive with imports for a number of reasons.
People are too narrowly focused on labor cost, unaware of the relationship between amortization, accruals and exporting turnkey smokestack industries.
Now you're scaring me. Since Ukraine is a testing ground, I think we're going to see the normalization of low yield tactical nukes. No matter, it seems Oreshniks, Kinzhals, and Satans are approaching similar yields.
The Russians believe they don't even need their nukes to defeat us, but rather just their Oreshnik missiles armed with powerful, conventional explosives. But if push comes to shove, they can arm the with nukes as well.
The rape of the American mind continues apace, with nary a peep. Fact is, most Americans, have no mind, and so don’t mind all the weird Uncle Ernies fiddling and diddling about. They are on a life-long free-float in an inner-tube on the river of life, troubling themselves with nothing so much as trivial ephemera, wandering dust particles that happen across their irises. They spout juvenile “opinions” grounded in little but fantasies and delusions they mistake for immutable facts. They quite literally wear their beliefs — on tattooed body parts, and walk around in public in what amounts to pajamas and slippers. They are grown children, and they are the problem with America. And this problem, the rampant, inbred, pugnacious stupidity of the million, cannot be fixed. Such a “civilization” must, and should, fail. America turned into nothing so much as a collective of ungovernable, avaricious barbarians. My answer, for my sanity, has been to withdraw from pretty much all of it, into the school of myself (where I am just a human being who is part, not lord, of nature), where I observe and study the astonishing spectacle of human madness with bottomless sadness.
To your brilliant, succinct, and truthful analysis I would only add the following.
The WEF or World Enslavement Forum, its graduates ensconced in every government, its $10 trillion of inclusive capitalism, its hundreds of invisible public-private partnerships and NGO’s, is deliberately manufacturing poly-crises all over the globe for the oft stated purpose of manufacturing our consent to a NWO and global totalitarian technocracy.
Their most poisonous ideology, like their covid-19 virus engineered to attach to the bodies ACE2 receptors knowing full well that this harms organ metabolism and causes all the disability and death; attaches to the human psyche filled with a sense of victimhood.
So, the elites engineered their poisonous ideology deliberately to attache to the psyche’s of individuals who feel sexually, racially, environmentally, and economically, oppressed.
Which in turn, causes major harms to the body politic such as de-humanization, de-industrialization, and de-population.
We just need to rely upon our natural intellectual immunity by understanding how this synthetic mind virus is debilitating our nation, and unleash the power of our Judeo-Christian faith, family, freedom, and love of country T-Cells.
Great point. After all, if British Protestants could end slavery in the British empire they could certainly help end the slavery of this totalitarian engineered mind virus afflicting us all.
Having degenerated into a criminal conspiracy as the Bolsheviks became after the Congress of 1905, I expect the Democrats to attempt to unleash their Antifa terrorists and other crackpot militias on the American people rather than spend a few years in the political wilderness and cleanse their "soul" in order to return to Constitutional competition.
A fine primer on Ukraine and related fuckery for those who haven’t paid attention for the past decade, and summary for those who hadn’t quite put the puzzle pieces together yet.
I would add that the hero of the story is Mr. Putin, whose preternatural restraint and self discipline has saved us all from WWIII – at least so far. Such extreme provocations as lobbing missiles into Moscow would certainly have incinerated us all if Russia had reciprocated and our nitwit “leaders” had the opportunity to respond.
Also on the podium for medals should be Iran and China who, like Russia, seem to understand that putting up with our bullshit long enough for the US to finish collapsing is the best way to play the Long Game.
We have driven these three formidable nations into a military alliance that should ultimately checkmate the mischief that our decadent, profiteering military establishment has planned, especially if Mr. Trump is able to dismantle more of their enabling infrastructure, such as USAID.
Neither he nor anyone else can be hoped to arrest the collapse for which we have already slipped past the event horizon, but we can at least hope that our future won’t have to be rebuilt upon smoldering ashes.
Most isolated acts of heroism are accomplished by individuals who can't be described as heroes. Our selected "enemies:" are heroically refraining from destroying the world in response to our foolishness.
Putin, the Iranian mullahs, and the ruling Communist Party of China are all self-interested, self-serving, and corrupt. Heroism has nothing to do with their calculated geopolitical moves. Your binary thinking is simplistically stupid.
Wretchard, at Belmont Club: "Great Men, are rarely also good men."
The Khomeinist Arabs that took over Iran have devolved into typical Mideast potentates, content with merely enriching themselves a la the Castros in Cuba by stealing the country's potential and sending their trash to go attack Israel (so the trash can't attack them.)
Putin began as a criminal, and is rather American at enriching himself, while Xi lived in a cave for two years hiding from the zealots of his own Party. Both will wage war overt and covert in the interests of their country, which is very un-American. Netanyahoo can be seen in that light as well, all four are a return to kings.
Meanwhile in Congress our so called representatives continue to do as little as possible to help bring the guilty to trial. So much talk and still no action. I’m tired of this nonsense and don’t expect anything from it except the same lame excuses that we always get. No wonder Congress has such a low approval rating. 😡😡😡
There are two novel sticking points in today's foreign policy.
The first is Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) a politically fatal disease fostered by the DNC and the MSM. Hating the President (and for no good reason) is a new religion for too many people at home and abroad. There's no way to counteract this derangement: neither fact, theory, or the reality around us can get these clouded minds to break loose of this psychosis and deal with it. Even the growing revelations of conspiracy between the intelligence and police agencies cannot turn off the Crazy. And the foreign TDS is even worse.
While President Trump is trying to function in spite of this madness, he does not help his cause by tolerating and appeasing the neocons like Lindsey Graham and the EU. He is simultaneously trying to clean up the mess at home and the mess abroad with one hand tied behind his back.
When Trump faces his reality at last, the rest will follow, and progress will be made. I hope this happens soon, like September, so that measureable progress can be made before 2028 arrives.
They hate America! They hate capitalism because they are losers, gimme losers who want someone, the government to feel sorry for them and provide for them.
Socialists believe that the government is superior to themselves and should thus have control. The real problem is that government is design by committee, the sure fire method of mucking everything up.
The media complex is corrupted and broken. It needs a total overhaul. “News” organizations have completely morphed into entities designed to shape and control public’s opinion and thought. They no longer deliver “news”, if they ever did. They provide only enough snippets of “news” and entertainment to draw in viewers in order to deliver the viewpoints and propaganda of those who allow those entities to exist by providing all their funding. Messages designed by pharma and food and government not to provide information but to mould and control public opinion. The evidence is everywhere: look at how the media was deployed to shape the Trump Russia hoax perpetrated by Hillary, or the pharma hoax of vaccines and so much more, or the COVID hoax, or the climate hoax, and on and on - not delivering accurate reliable information with which people can make their own informed decisions, but manipulated and false narratives designed to herd people in the desired direction. It is not designed to inform but to induce people to believe what the messengers pay for them to hear. That is a warped and perverted purpose that serves no good end. The advertising supported media complex should be reformed or eliminated by removing the source of their funding which is used to purchase and capture their unwitting audience by delivering paid propaganda. The only way to reform media is to remove its corrupt funding - eliminate pharma, food and other advertising. The advertising model for funding media is broken and must be eliminated.
Another absolutely BRILLIANT dissertation by my fellow New Yawker, JHK who never disappoints.
As long as we're unraveling the Russia-Russia-Russia fiasco, I think it's long past time that alt Media and Team Trump start a full scale, no holds barred investigation of the SETH RICH MURDER.
Why the f*** are we getting Epstein-Epstein-Epstein constantly on a daily basis yet I am not seeing anything about the SETH RICH caper and his subsequent MURDER.
Please let this comment serve as a formal request to JHK to share with us any research or analysis he may have done regarding this most important topic.
The SETH RICH affair involves every one of these Satanic Scumbags who were part of the Russia Coup as well as the usual suspects from the Intel Community.
Here is a brief synopsis:
Seth Rich was a 27-year-old DNC staffer working as a voter expansion data director when he was shot and killed on July 10, 2016, in Washington, D.C. Police believe it was a botched robbery, as his possessions were not taken, but no perpetrators have been identified. At the time there were those in the alt and conventional media, including, of all people, Sean Hannity, who suggested that SETH had leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks and was killed for it.
Here's where it got really interesting as a former IC member, William Binney got involved in the case.
William (Bill) Binney was a former NSA technical director and whistleblower who left the agency in 2001 after raising concerns about its surveillance programs. He later became a prominent critic of government overreach and he started his own investigation of the SETH RICHARD affair.
Binney has claimed, based on forensic analysis, that the 2016 Democratic National Committee (DNC) email leak was not a hack by Russian intelligence but an inside job, likely involving a data transfer to a physical device like a thumb drive. His analysis argues that the data transfer speeds and metadata suggest local access rather than a remote hack. In other words, it was NOT Russian interference.
Data Transfer Speed indicates local copy, not remote hack. The transfer speed of the data (approximately 22.7 megabytes per second) was too fast for a typical internet connection at the time, especially for a transatlantic hack. Binney argued this speed suggested the data was copied locally to a physical device, like a USB drive, rather than exfiltrated over the internet
The analysis pointed to a file transfer rate consistent with a direct copy within a local network or onto an external storage device, implying someone with physical access to the DNC’s systems performed the extraction.
A 2017 meeting with then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo, reportedly at Trump’s urging, brought Binney’s theory to wider attention, though the CIA has always maintained its stance that it was "the Russians" who were responsible. You have to ask yourself- how is this still possible given the treasure trove of inside info that's just been uncovered, including the Burn Bags?
Of course there was a lot of controversy about Binney's work at the time and the Intelligence goons did everything possible to discredit him because if he was correct, SETH RICH'S MURDER could possibly be traced to the DNC and the highest level of our Satanic Overlords and IC Rulers.
If anyone reading this has more up to date info about the SETH RICH case, perhaps you can share it with us. Meanwhile, I hope that JHK's interest has been piqued such that he will look into it. I know that there are people in High Places who read his blog/substack and who appreciate his work.
Thanks for going through the refresher course on Seth Rich for me. I’ve forgotten a lot of the details. Julian Assange claims he knows who the leaker is and they’re not who has been proffered up by the fake media and other government goons. I suspect his pursuit for asylum and subsequent incarceration were ginned up by those in charge who are most at risk by Assange’s reveal of what he knows. I won’t be surprised if we hear even now that he has “disappeared”.
Hugh- I had almost forgotten about Seth Rich myself when I came across some old emails I had archived from the time period when he was murdered. I went to Grok and Chat to get what factual info I could scrub from their AI and was amazed to see that both robots are hopelessly biased as though they had been programmed by their Deep State operatives.
I knew enough from my own past research to pull a few bits and pieces that were factual, but clearly, we need to have Kash, Dan, Tulsi, whoever do a deep dive investigation into the SETH RICH MURDER.
Wasn’t he found on a park bench after committing “suicide”? Also, weren't the leaks aimed at showing the dirty tricks HRC was using against Bernie Sanders? Also that Donna Brazil gave HRC all the questions for a debate with Trump?
Remember too that things have just gotten worse with that nest of vipers.
Anyone who knows Russians realizes that all they want is to be left alone. Can you imagine them invading western europe and trying to make sense of it afterwards? They'd for sure just turn around and leave, lol.
"we are in the middle of a maelstrom. Arrests and prosecutions are coming," Didn't I read that on this blog on Monday? And last week? And last month? And last year? And 5 years before that? Hmm, how many prominent Democrats have been arrested and charged with crimes rising from Russia Gate, or the January 6th protest, or anything similar, at all? I mean, other than Hunter Biden, who was swiftly pardoned of course, just how many arrests are we talking about here?
Nothing moves quickly in law, but to the contrary, is very slow moving and requires much patience. The documents that are evidence of mostly Demoncrap crimes have just come to the attention of a newly transformed Justice Department, which still has many leftist installs from the Demoncraps. Same at CIA and other agencies, as it takes time to clean out the vipers. But now having actual proof in the perps own words and emails means a new and highstakes game has begun. Like the old saw that an attorney should never ask a question that he does not already know the answer to, no case will or should be brought until the evidence is rock solid and has undergone review and testing before production in a court of law. And lastly, never bring a case in a jurisdiction that is so corrupt to be a waste of time and money, like New York or Washington, DC., both brimming with corrupt judges and like jurors.
See ya next year, galt. August of 2026, no arrests, no indictments, nothing, and you will still be saying "it takes time" and telling me to be patient. I am a former prosecutor, BTW. Real criminal investigations don't involve the prosecutor going on a talk show. . .like Kash Patel's recent appearance on The Joe Rogan show to bloviate about his investigations and the arrests that were just about to happen, real soon. Real criminal investigations don't involve the President posting stupid memes of a former president in an orange jumpsuit in a jail cell. The Trump administration is acting like they are part of a particularly bad episode of the TV show "Law & Order". . .as opposed to doing anything serious to any corrupt Democrats.
CTH, another site that only JHK approaches in his formidable grasp of detail. drills down into just how complicated the Deep State "information silo" has become, not only from the Long Takeover by the Intelligence community, but very deliberately by design since Obama and Holder, members of a radical cell, effected a takeover of the Takeover.
This one will take time - our would-be masters have given Trump only enough time to avenge himself, pray that it is enough of a dent. Until they are reconditioned, that is, these types always try to weasel their way back.
"The long game for the neocon crazies has been to use NATO as the instrument to break up Russia and gain control of its resources".
No, sorry Jim. Your aim is too low on the totem pole. It was not the "neocon crazies". It was, and is, and has always been the international banking cartel and cabal, centered in the City of London and its annex in Wall Street and D.C.
How many Americans could identify Victoria Nuland and the role she played in US foreign policy in Eastern Europe when she was at the State Department? The neo-con crazies have a lot of blood on their hands including many thousands of dead Ukrainians and Russians from the war that has been raging between the two countries since 2022.
Corruption to the nth degree, Obama/Biden/Nuland. How many people realize that the USA fomented a coup in Ukraine to depose a legally elected president from Ukraine East that favored Russians? What really pisses me off is the real reason Biden backed them is he invested heavily, along with his son, in Ukraine and that a million people have been killed and what civility between Russia and Europe has been destroyed so that Hunter et al could have his little empire. Truly evil people.
"It ought to be clear now that the initial Hillary Clinton campaign prank metastasized into the worst perversion of abusive government power in our country’s history, and is yet on-going."
Until there are very real, substantive consequences, this type of malevolent behavior will continue on the part of the Left. Just what "consequences" is something for an impartial court of law to determine, but something had better occur as a result of all of this. I for one am tired beyond words of a de facto two-tiered system of justice. I'm tired of hearing of things that likely rise to the level of treason that go unpunished. I am tired of the lies, the insults to my intelligence. Most of all, I am tired of being witness to the outright insanity played out daily on the part of the Left without the consequences I would face should I attempt to walk in their shoes. This must end. If it takes the unprecedented (think the age-old sanction for acts of treason), then so be it. If it angers and triggers those who are already angry and triggered, more the better. I sense a groundswell picking up steam throughout the country - one that like a tide that washes away the detritus from a beach - will wash away the evil that we've tolerated for far too long.
Excellent comment, if I could I would give it 10 "likes"!
I totally agree with you that I am sick and tired of having my intelligence insulted by these Satanic scumbags.
Another thing- Living in Nueva York as I do, I am surrounded by misguided (to put it kindly) blood relatives and acquaintances who suffer from severe TDS.
These are the people who proudly wore the face diapers and got numerous booster shots of the phony CVD vax. Not only do these people not read very much- certainly not anything on Substack or alt media) but they are completely brainwashed by whatever media they do consume on their screens.
Furthermore- their brains have been affected by the mRNA jabs to the point where I think some of them are half retarded.
I love my adult children and they are great in every respect except POLITICS.
Nanny - you're sweet to give benefit of the doubt, i.e., *half* retarded.
Not alone dear friend.
Hubbs and I reside in Northern Virginia! We even decided to "retire" here!!
We do laugh a lot. Every day is a little bit of comedy.
Also, your blood relatives.... SAME.
I’m in the same boat.
Exact same situation here....it's exasperating in the extreme!!
I am seeing this, too. And I lived through their scorn since 2016 election season. I am hearing about their tinnitus, vertigo, strokes over the winter, long covid, cancer, etc. I send them my concern, but who knows what they think about me now? No apologies from anyone.
Can totally relate to that, NY Nanny - my 3 best pals suffer from severe chronic cases of TDS and nothing I say can convince them that woke ideology they've been brainwashed with is just wrong.
You're right.
Unfortunately, your 3 best pals would be equally right to say, "Louis suffers from a severe chronic case of Trump Adoration Syndrome and nothing that we say can convince him that the MAGA bullshit that he's been brainwashed with is just wrong."
So ... you're half right. Until you comprehend that TPTB run both Demonrats and Republicons in their divide-and-conquer m.o./racket, you're just waving your red pom-poms at a high school football game.
I know I speak for multitudes when I say that I am extremely disappointed in Trump this term. Although he's done some good things, we are nowhere near correcting course, and his behavior in other areas, such as this new medical ID push via big tech, for example, has me feeling rather betrayed and, yes, gaslit by him. That said, there is no Trump worship here—far from it, and with multitudes of others in chorus, we are simply longing for truth, justice, and the American way—just fucking once, once and for all..
"Just vote for me this one last time! After this [election], you'll never need to vote again." - DJT
Trump is one of them. Trump is an actor who trained his whole life for his role. Trump's MIT uncle received all of Nikola Tesla's notes. Trump has been one of them since birth.
I hate to say it, but as things stand right now, Trump seems more like one of "them" now more than he ever has before. Can he turn it around, sure, but he's moving in the wrong direction so far as I can tell. He's making all the same mistakes he made in his first term, but worse. Unlike then, he is now beholden to far more interest groups who reside firmly in Swampy neighborhoods.
Someone noted on another forum that Trump has alienated all of his base, with the exception of the Zionist Christians.
He's certainly done a good job of alienating me.
Well said, Nanny! I totally agree and in the same boat with friends and blood relatives with severe TDS and, perhaps, “one booster too many”
The franchise is a precious thing; a treasure not to be given out like candy to noisy children, but only the men of proven worth. Anything else is "democracy" or mob rule - which means rule by the secret operators who control the mob.
The comment I've seen that says it best:
If you want to prevent policies based on performative empathy (and their social/cultural effects), restrict voting to married men.
While their men were away at war and women got the vote, they banned drinking, gambling, and brothels - everything that comes natural to a man.

I'm female. If we can get America back to some sort of semblance of normalcy, I'd gladly give up my vote. Most women make decisions based on empathy, and empathy is great, most especially if you're an elementary school teacher. It's not always the best policy when running a nation.
Shibumi - your comment is kind and well-reasoned. Men need empathy too in a healthy society or culture. I think the difference is men can, and must have, that cold, hard edge, when necessary - an edge real women lack. Feminists have it though, but used more in spite, than for the good of a nation.
Truth told, my +100 was more in jest, regarding the last sentence, but you've touched on the more important point of Alzaebo's comment. Your willingness to give up your vote is commendable though - you're a real woman.
My brother went to his grave unforgiving - me, for NOT getting jabbed and for being pro-Trump. Sad, sad, sad, but I have to admit, my first words once I heard he had passed were, "Guess you now know what an idiot you were!" LOL
I left in 1973, never to return. Texas is home now.
Since the beginning of time, every culture has had the same two choices; protect your way of life or lose it. As long as we refuse to protect our way of life, we'll continue losing it. When we decide to protect our way of life, we will save what remains.
The sad truth is, as time goes by, less and less of our current way of life will be worth saving. It really is that simple. Am I on the "Burn-it-Down" bandwagon? Nope. I'm driving it.
Europe has gone from slow walking their own demise to sprinting into their ignored abyss.
Someone needs to convince Canada of this fact. The Western four realize that fact, that Ottawa is leading them into the European cesspool and they are better off affiliated with the USA. It will be an interesting year for Phil et al.
Canadians have no choice in the matter, JAZ. TPTB are destroying Western civilization according to their road map. Canada isn't a pawn but it's a rook.
-----
Someone needs to convince those with Trump Adoration Syndrome that it was Trump that interfered in our election to destroy the clear-headed Conservative Party election front-runner (Pierre Poilievre) for the benefit, quizzically, of the Central-Banker/WEFer scumbag (Mark Carney).
Also keep in mind that Trump completely changed the outcome of OUR federal election just three months ago [and then bragged about his interference in our election to your we-could-hardly-give-a-shit media!*]
Canada is following the European globaists' agenda now as per Donald J. Trump.
Trump succeeded in his election interference because of TDS. TPTB gave multitudes TDS as a big part of their simple divide-and-conquer m.o./racket. Sad but true.
*Have you ever noticed that America is paranoid about any other countries interfering in their navel-gazing, billionaire-ran MSM vacuum of an election but perfectly nonchalant about they themselves interfering in every other election on earth?
Good to know at least a few others can see reality.
Good comment!
Absolutely not "better off" with America.
Absolutely "better off" as an independent sovereign nation.
America is just as depraved & collapsing as are Canada & Europe.
Western Canada could cut times with eastern Canada, ride out the coming shitstorm and have a great future.
Why trade 1 eastern capital- Ottawa, for and even more distant eastern capital in Washington? For what benefit?
Trust? Alberta, the vanguard, has more connections into the western USA than to either Ottawa or DC. The western USA has about the same “trust” of DC that West Canada has with Ottawa. I have predicted a split in North America West to East, Red to Blue, rural to city, for some time. An interesting sidelight is the West Coast of both countries, BC, Washington, Oregon and California, are Leftist but very different than the East. Is there something about salt water that addles the brain, why does insanity prevail on the coasts.
Money and power.
Is it just me, or do the EU leaders in Germany, France, and British leaders appear to be mimicking the Nazi leaders in Hitler's Germany, or the Stalinist clique? No goose stepping and black uniforms, yet, but the native populations definitely have the boot on their necks as they are subject to sudden arrests in the night with prompt imprisonment. Statements and memes against the favored invaders, who do not appear to be under any legal constraints, will get the natives incarcerated.
I think you nailed it, Ron. "The sad truth is, as time goes by, less and less of our current way of life will be worth saving. "
Man I like your comments.
What will be worth saving in America? I'm 51 years old and the other day I had a sharp pain in my chest. I thought it might be a heart attack but it turns out I pulled a bit of rib cartilege in my chest during my weight training. Hurt like a sum bitch but my heart is strong and healthy. Here's the kicker. As I was in the doctors office waiting to get checked out I actually found myself not minding if I were to keel over dead at that moment. There really isn't much in this world that would convince me to want to stick around. Nearly everything in this world sucks.
Architecture. Sucks. Compare modern buildings to those they built in the early 1900s. Architects have lost any creativity.
Sports. Sucks. With the advent of modern betting sports are rigged and corrupt to the teeth.
Women. Our women have corrupted themselves. Covering themselves with tattoos, piercings and fake colored hair. They are ugly inside and out. Femininity is dead.
Children. My children are decent enough but they are entitled, taking from me without gratitude or willingness to help out.
Music. What music. Music today is nothing more than black people twerking around to a false computer beat shouting unrecognizeable babble into the microphone.
Nature. Ever been to a national park lately? It is so clogged with people that one can't go anywhere without someone else waiting to push you out of the way for a selfie.
Family. What family? Our children don't have babies anymore so few of us are going to have any posterity. Posterity we do have probably lives 1000 miles away, they having chosen to go make more money than stay close to family.
Religion. Religions have failed us. There are no churches anymore that uphold strict moral virtues. All they teach now is "be nice." Useless.
Nope. Perversion, death, violence, decadence, sloth, ugliness, gluttony, obesity, filth and decay permeate our society to the very core. Is it really worth saving????
Cynicism is sooo easy that you don't see you're playing the victim.
Perhaps pop out the cultural Systems that are in place to take away your "sense" of agency. It's just a sense after all - you've always got it.
For example why would one go to a National Park in the summer if seeking solitude? There are so many other places in our country where there are few people. It's a choice.
Why do you see a MD? Go alternative because the "health system" is a racket and not designed for health. You got scared because of a pulled muscle because part of the system is to instill Fear.
Did you always think professional sports were fair (hint: they never have been)? Why watch the pros? See college sports or small league baseball for example which just as skilled but fair. Better yet play a sport and make new friends. Pickle ball leagues are out-of-control around here.
Religion is for some but Belief is for all. The growth in the Orthodox church is off the charts because of the strictness. People love it for that reason.
The music "industry" sucks but genres like jazz, folk, bluegrass remain and thrive. There is live music played everywhere and it's genuine and great. I spent last weekend at a free jazz festival and it was filled with families and groups of all ages.
The "architecture" of big box stores and the suburbs does cause despair but so many creative folks are out there creating alternatives in how residential architecture is done. You just have to look for it but it is very inspiring.
Women (and Men), family and children – relationships in general will never cease to be the source of emotional turmoil, disappointment but also joy. Literature, art and music draw from these things because it's part of the human experience and always has been. We are here to learn.
You don't have to literally die to get out of the culture and systems you describe. You just have to make a choice to get out like many of us have. Life is far better when you watch everything fail from afar.
I wish I had your optimism Deana. Thanks for your optimistic response and pep talk. All of your points have merit.
You are more than welcome Cankerpuss. You provided me the opportunity to spread some optimism and I appreciate it.
I am no Pollyanna but I find it's easier to enjoy the human experience if I am off the main track.
No doubt you are a "thinking person" (real) so I believe you can find a way to successfully live in the culture on your own terms but outside of its systems. You've got a lot more living to do!
The "and Men" says it all. This is what has to change if there is to be any change worth having. Take care of men - get out of their way - and they will take care of women. Take care of women and men will die under bridges.
Yes sir. The roles in our society have been reversed and the result isn't working so well.
Deana, that is a really good response. Well done.
I think this is spot on, Cankerpuss. I just handed my children the keys to their first condos, paid for by my inheritance from my mother. I'm honoring the matrilineal line and circling the wagons to support my family. But neither of my children have any children and I don't see any progeny in their future. Their generation will be the last of the matrilineal bloodline, and the patrilineal also. Still, I feel obligated in good faith to help them get a foothold in the RE market which they could never accomplish on their own. Neither could I at their age. I am 66. But I had children to shelter, so held up my duty to further the family, and the matrilineal line supported me. My children, in turn, have not done so, and appear disinclined to reproduce. I am sad, but resigned, to the decline of our country and culture. I wish so much this were not so.
Get rid of no fault divorce and men might start marrying again. As it is, women bring more than 70% of the divorces. Why sign a contract that will reward the other party for breaking? Also, mandate dna testing for newborns to forestall feminine paternity fraud.
I thought women initiated more than 80% of divorces.
If they initiate more than 80 they initiate more than 70. In other words, I'm not sure. Far more than men in any case, for the worst of reasons.
Like you I have family, actually a rather large one. When I look at the pictures of those beautiful little faces, and actually get to see them on video and talk with them, I realize there is nothing better than being a grandfather. I do what I can to maintain positivity even while fighting against the decline. Until I die, my responsibility is to my family, which includes protecting them from whatever threatens them. As Trump said, fight, fight, fight. He meant it from the bottom of his heart, and we who care about our country, families, and friends, can do no less.
Butler, PA was clearly a sham.
Amor Fati. I have two teenagers so I feel it is my obligation to help them see light & humor in our dark world. Stoicism, non-duality, poking fun and laughing at all of the absurdities of our modern world helps. Although I agree with all your grievances listed, every time my kids and I go out together, we have a blast watching Rome burn.
Your cynicism and despair is exhaustive. Do you have bright spots that keep you going?
I'm sorry. Don't mean to be exhaustive.
I said exhaustive, not exhausting. What are your bright spots of hope? You improve your body, right? Hope your rib heals up as quickly as one can hope for at 51.
I guess I'll have to learn what "exhaustive" means. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, to be sure :)
Over the years I have found that the big things and important people ultimately will let me down. So, I try to focus on the little things that bring me peace and joy. Taking a cool morning walk with my dear wife. Sitting on my patio and watching my Corgi sniff around the back yard or chase a butterfly. Pulling weeds and tilling the soil in my garden. Changing the oil or tuning the carburetor on my 1968 Camaro. Watching my adult children interact with their siblings and enjoying it. A good afternoon nap. A big bowl of banana pudding! A good weight training session at the gym (getting harder as I age).
The world, by and large, is a ruined place. It is in the little things of life that I try to find joy and peace. It helps.
I've been a body builder for two decades and now when I train it often feels like something is going to snap. Getting old sucks, Beth. It certainly aint for sissies.
Cankersore, you inspire me.
Nice!
NOTE: Needs hug.
Yes the Church Hierarchy have Sold ,the Education? System have Dumbed the Kids Down and I believe their will be more People wanting to depart this life because they see NO WAY OUT.
CP - You're not wrong, but I can see it's time for one of our pep talks. Give me a little time - weekend likely. Thanks for the props - goes both ways, my friend.
Yeah, I'm on one today. It's been a long week. I'll try to think a little more positive ;)
Ah, so you're a Gym Rat. I knew we had some unknown common bond. Life's just like the gym - you get in there and grind, every day you train, you grind, come sunshine or rain, hot or cold.
You stare down the iron pile and force it into submission. Like a ratchet - every day you maintain your strength or get stronger - there's no going back.
You know the mindset - take no prisoners. Look at life the same way - same mentality. The iron silently challenges you, so does life. Handle them both, with unyielding will.
The young lion's ain't got us yet - neither has life. Sixty-three and still grinding, in the gym and in life. Hang in there.

Yes sir, I spend an hour there 3 days a week and Monday, Wednesday, Friday am up at 4:00 a.m. and there from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. I was a real specimen in my youth. I can still hang with the younger meatheads that come in but the stamina is not what it used to be. I don't care what the body throws at me, even if I end up a paraplegic, I will still find my way to the iron. Not only does it keep me physically able but it helps bolster my moods.
359 on the bench? Damn! I never topped 300. Got to 290 in my prime. Today I'm hanging around 250. At least I can bench my body weight. ;)
Tore my left biceps muscle a decade ago and had to have surgery to re-attach the muscle to the bone. When that sucker went it sounded like someone clapped their hands in my ear and I could feel the damned tendon spring back into my shoulder. PTSD to this day.
Stay brittle. Positivity is for we blondes and it gets in the way of noticing shit on my boots.
Please try to include the Federal Reserve on your itinerary.
I agree--but what troubles me is how each new generation has less of an idea of how things used to be or should be. Things which make me livid, they shrug at. They just shrug it off. This is the real attrition. Cultures used to stave this off with tradition and generational insights which is why the cultural wars in the last 125 years in particular have aimed their arrows at it.
Yes! The Marxists attempt to erase history - traditions, monuments, names, heroes (especially those of the recalcitrant, rebellious sort) - for that very reason. So, there is no baseline for the current generation. The Marxists then normalize today's corrupted cultural mores, and then say to the current generation, "See? This is how it's always been." A flat out lie.
How very true AM. One day whilst being in some kinda mood and chatting with a young gal at the drive in window of my pharmacy, I told her I felt sorry for her as she's never known what it's like to live in a 'normal' world. How can we ever expect to get back even a semblance of what once was? Tradition is now seen as an anachronism. How sad and utterly depressing unless there were any chance of something better.
Even if HRC, Obama, and the rest stood up in front of a bank of microphones and said "Yes, we did it to trash Trump, to loot Ukraine, and to crack open Russia" I fear that most people who've developed the Russia Derangement Syndrome simply wouldn't believe them. The Orange Man and Russia Bad psych ops on the American public (and the world at large, really) has been multi pronged, relentless, and ongoing on for over a decade. And as absurd as it was, it was remarkably successful thanks to confirmation bias and narrative control. Reversing it now ain't gonna be easy. It's Too Big.
To hell with them, Ned. Literally and figuratively. Let them go to hell. As I said to my left-leaning late brother, I know I can't convert you and I'm not about to waste my time. I harbor no animus to those suffering from TDS or who otherwise hold different opinions from mine. I do harbor animus toward those who seek my destruction for not adhering to their views - it is an existential dynamic. If one seeks to inflict harm, then all bets are off, so to speak. And if one seeks to inflict harm upon my country, then they should be treated in a manner that befits their status.
Perfectly said, Thomas. I agree 100% that we need to move on with our agenda about truth and decency, and let them whine all they want.
Perfectly said, Ez. America first. Israel is just another country. They get nothing.
NAILED IT LIKE A HAMMER!
You are not alone. I am tired, too. Everyone I know is tired of the evil clown left, their lies and their stupidity.
Love your comment, Thomas. Your words reflect exactly how I feel. I keep hoping that one of these days Mr. Kunstler's astute predictions of arrests and justice will finally come to pass and justice will be brought down up on the heads of these rotten psychopathic fuckers.
I hold my breath, though.
Why? In your last sentence you said, "I sense a groundswell picking up steam throughout the country- one that like a tide that washes away the detritus from a beach, will wash away the evil that we've tolerated for far too long." Here's the problem, Thomas. The Federal Government is a bright reflection of the American people. Let's look at the similarities:
1. The Federal Government can't live within its means - the American people can't live with in their means. They are buried by debt buying shit they don't need with money they don't have.
2. The Federal Government is immoral and wicked - The American people are immoral and wicked. Divorce rates are high. Religion is dying in America. People sleep with whomever they want, create children and then refuse to raise them. Pornography is rampant. Drugs are out of control.
3. The Federal Government kills without remorse - Abortion kills millions of innocent babies per year. Americans worship death. Every TV show is about sex and murder. Violence is rampant in the entertainment Americans "enjoy."
For the sake of brevity I won't go on but I could. Nothing will be repaired in this Country until the people have corrected themselves and righted their moral compasses. Thus far, I am not seeing this happen. We need a righteous and moral people to have a righteous and moral government that stays within its bounded limitations. That does not exist in America right now.
I am saddened by what you wrote. I cannot offer any argument, but I will say that there are those (a minority) who seek to to foist their ruinious, perhaps even satanic, vision upon the masses. Let's not condemn an entire society for the actions of these few. I for one live a life that is marked by thrift (buy only what is needed, with the money I possess), fidelity to the Golden Rule with a nod to the 10 commandments, and concord (even though it is frequently mistaken for weakness, which has unfortunate consequences for those who make this error). We do what we can do. Do what you can do to be an instrument of the Lord, who is ultimately in charge of everything.
Thomas, it's people like you who give me hope that there are people out there who do still reject the decadence and the lascivious that is so prevalent in our society. I only report on what I observe around me. We live in a world that by and large is a ruined place, dominated by evil and filth. That's the truth of the matter. Anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves. However, that being said, there are still many good and decent people out there who love their spouses, their children, live within their means, treat their neighbors with respect and work hard to support themselves. Unfortunately, they are the silent ones.
I asked Grok this:
What's the saying about being in the world but not of the world?
The saying "in the world but not of the world" comes from Christian theology, based on John 17:14-16 in the Bible, where Jesus prays for his disciples, saying they are in the world but not of it, as they belong to God. It means living in society, engaging with its realities, but not adopting its values or behaviors when they conflict with spiritual or moral principles. Christians interpret it as a call to maintain distinct beliefs while still participating in worldly life, like working or socializing, without being consumed by materialism or sin.
"Fools"? Ad hominem much? As for "the rest of us"...do what you wish -- not one of us "fools" will place so much as a straw on the ground to impede you from living as you wish. Suffice it to say, when you speak of demons, bear in mind that your angels may very well be our demons.
I was angered by Cank and fully in agreement with you in sweeping one's own doorstep, Thomas. Thank you for the quick reply; since I am only causing trouble and not helping in any way, please allow me to delete, with apologies to all. Cankerpuss is lamenting all that has been lost.
Addendum: surprisingly, rereading your final sentence is exactly what i was thinking. The pious, without knowing, opened the door to demons wearing a mask. Since none will fight for evil, evil must disguise itself as good - and all will fight for what they see as good.
I apologize...something was lost in translation on my end.
What did I say that angered you, Alzaebo? I firmly believe that if the people were righteous they would have no tolerance for an unrighteous government.
If my comment was offensive to you, I apologize. Didn't mean to offend anyone.
We just had four years of allowing the “wretched refuse” to invade the USA, we should not be surprised that we are a third world country now.
Not yet John, but the Demoncraps are still working on bringing us down to the 3rd world level. Hope and pray that ICE can get the job done despite the Demoncrap and their satanic captured judges, who truly are working to destroy the U.S. to bring about their socialist, then marxist paradise.
First we have to find an impartial court
A military court comes to mind. At least as it involves a former commander in chief.
"First we have to find an impartial court"
I heard there's a bunch of haystacks with people searching for needles. Word has it the impartial courts share the same space.
Like i mentioned last week….i am hoping Trump gets Medieval. If the consequences are not glaringly harsh, you are right, then the left will never ever change. I think Trump has it in him to do what is necessary to accomplish the demise of the left political party of treason, communism, and hatred. It’s time to dismantle it.
And destroy it. America was designed as a one party system in its Constitution. Parties are never mentioned, the three branches are supposed to do positive things for the people with no partisan bickering. The legislature, for example, is a body conceived to gather info, provide a large body brain trust to make laws and act for the people. Hahahahahahaha! Folks like AOC and Crockett show how distorted the original charter has corrupted. The Presidency is the executor of what the Congress comes up with. Again, what a distortion has occurred as presidents have struggled to get any direction from the Congress and thus have tried to execute an American plan as they alone see fit. The judicial? What a joke. SCOTUS is in the Constitution and a reference to a federal judiciary at the discretion of Congress. Instead we have a bunch of Leftist asshats trying to take over being the supreme rulers of the land.
It is amazing to witness, I have been watching since the 60s, to see how much has been distorted by the Deep State. This land of ours have been ripped apart by the advances of the Deep State with its neocon war behavior and gimme encouragement all in the name of more and more power.
BTW, the best way to curtail power people is to remove their power, the best punishment is to remove them from the power of the Deep State. We are waiting for Trump to tear down the Deep State. His main weapon is Bondi and the DOJ. The voters are the ONLY weapon that America has against the pollution known as the House of Representatives. If what passes for a legislature right now is indicative of what America really is, we are in deep (state) shit.
Gorgeous George Washington in his farewell address admonished those at the time to avoid partisan politics and to avoid foreign entanglements. Nobody listened.
I anticipate a slew of charges against many of the bad actors who participated in the Hillary Clinton "prank" that led to the Mueller Investigation witch hunt, Impeachment 1, the stolen 2020 election, the J6 setup, Impeachment 2, 34 felony convictions against Trump and 2 attempts on his life.
The Justice Department is just starting to tee this up with great assists from the Department of National Intelligence who has released batches of incriminating evidence that only the lame brain democrats will ignore.
Like many patriots, I'd be surprised and sorely disappointed if what we've seen so far is not followed up by more evidence (and charges) showing criminal involvement by the same rascals surrounding the 2020 election, J6, and possibly the assassination attempts and the Covid-19 outbreak.
The 2026 elections are approaching fast and we need to build a strong foundation to support a major revamping of our election laws. Exposing and arresting the Clinton/Obama/Brennan/Pelosi, et al criminal cartel members must happen. I believe it will happen this time. It will be both fascinating to watch the indictments handed out, and worrisome as the lunatics lash out in response. There may not be another chance to fix our country and take these guys out. Now is the time. Let's roll.
Patience is not part of the normal human experience. In any legal case, it takes a lot of time to marshal the evidence and then to try it out among neutral observers to see if it will stick. Americans want instant gratification and the law does not, and cannot, provide that. Patience is required and sometimes even that is not enough.
I find it most disconcerting to be one of the very few who are aware that HRC is more than likely deceased and the clamoring for her to be called to accountability on this earth is therefore not bloody likely. It is especially disconcerting when it comes from those who probably know alot better.
That "tide" will not become the King Tide that is necessary until the Public gets some real pain in their lives. They ain't seen nothin' yet. They are still complacent, because ignorant, and firmly lodged in their normalcy bias - and then blame the wrong people again. I bet there is not one person in a thousand who knows who created the Great Depression, and why.
Potter isn't selling. He's buying - George Bailey
Kudos! I paid full price to send my superlatives to JHK, who always calls it like it is in his rare these days, traditional, literate journalism. Your reply has done the same. I have lived in lefty Philadelphia and their suburbs my entire life. I mingle at the Jersey Shore with the affluent NYers and Philly/Main line lefties with their head up their ass, and the other half buried in the sand. Scared to be too close without the asbestos lined panties on their face OUTSIDE. When I tell these suicidal pro abortionists about body autonomy, their answer is not when I could kill everyone. Dumbass TDS addled, overpaid morons.
Holy Crap Thomas ... i am literally playing suede head 2011 remastered when i saw you avatar... my skin is crawling... on Spotify its the same exact pix on your avatar
Thanks. You should check out my Substack on Moz.
Thomas I have to go a different tangent of subject matter...J.Powell!I am tired of being a slave and a mule for the likes of Bankers,Corporations,Politicians and the Two tier justice system.The fact that Powell refuses to lower interest rates is him just tightening the shackles we all wear beholden to the bankers.The banks/ers are making hand over fist in interest right now whether one has good credit even making payoff longer and dragged out.The FED has to be broken and this fiat money system thrown out with the baby it's going to hurt but a hard reset is in order not just for us but the world.The Rothchilds have ruled long enough caused enough wars and bloodshed a nicely decorated lamp post is not far from my desires.
Bravo! Could not agree more 💯
The "left".
How quaint.
I am tired of the brainwashed masses that still think there is a left & a right, a republican & a democrat, a liberal & a conservative, a christian & a jew.
The evil, like the poor, will unfortunately be always with us.
I couldn't agree more, Thomas. We need some talented, tireless person like Elon Musk to take this on!
Oh, you mean the talented, tireless Elmo Musk who paid off every zoning board and political entity of concern to disregard any and all zoning and environmental laws regarding the Memphis, Tennessee metro area so he could destroy water systems and subvert the environment all for an AI DATA CENTER??? YEAH, THAT DISGUSTING POS ELMO MUSK. Same one who dressed in an all black leather Baphomet costume on recent Halloween. The one who cannot impregnate enough women? The one who was bonking Amber Heard while she was still married to JD? No, we need less of his kind.
Yeah, right. Elon could eliminate poverty by writing big checks couldn't he. Wouldn't do much for evil though.
HE IS EVIL.
"I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its illegitimate government, and let it revert to being the frontier backwater it was for eight decades previous, when it was not a problem for the other nations of the region."
Very good. It WAS all about seizing Russia's natural resources. The real war is here--and so are our enemies, and Trump's. He's gotta know that they're still trying to kill him, and accelerating the Ukraine War is just a big trap for him that he should just avoid. Let's hope so.
Mr Kunstler nailed it! Call it “Operation Barbarossa: Part Deux”. Never understood why - post Soviet collapse - the Russians are constantly framed as “the bad guys”. Look, when the Soviets had 20 armored divisions poised to plunge thru the Fulda Gap in a blitzkrieg-style offensive across the Western European plain, I get it but that hasn’t been reality since 1991. Reading between the lines of all this the takeaway- IMHO - is that western govts saw an opportunity to exploit Russian natural resources via big corporations like Blackhawk & Halliburton. Remember John McStain’s comment about Russia being “a big gas station”?
Moreover if there’s evidence that Russia seeks to dominate Eastern Europe by all means bring it on. Don’t see Putin as “Hitler!” (If everybody is “Hitler!” then no one is; the “Hitler!” comparisons are so overused they are redundant @ this point) but rather a Russian patriot.
The U.S.’s biggest mistake was winning World War II then not dismantling the Military Industrial Complex it created after the war was over. The MIC went on the hunt for new dragons to slay & while communism was certainly a threat, the hot wars in Korea & Vietnam were totally unnecessary. Maybe we couldn’t see that @ the time but hindsight is always 20/20.
Remember the Roosevelt administration was riddled with communist sympathizers and their goal is and has always been the destruction of the United States. They did not go away they went underground and we call them the CIA.
“…the Roosevelt administration with riddled with communist sympathizers…’
Precisely why he handed Eastern Europe over to Joe Stalin on a silver platter. Think Churchill practically had a heart attack trying to head this off & stop it but FDR was totally enthralled with “Uncle Joe”, who was anything but.
I agree with you however; I wouldn't agree that FDR was alone. churchill was also part of the collusion to hand over Eastern Europe to the Bolsheviks. Churchill was influenced/pressured? by the City of London crowd.
Churchill fought it tooth and claw, Sir. Publicly and in lecture down the road from me in his famous ‘Iron Curtain’ warning. The City of London crowd demoted him as soon as he won the war.
That is correct. FDR was a shadow of himself at Yalta, giving Eastern Europe away to the USSR. Power always tries to dominate power, Stalin was no saint but was as should be expected. Remember too that Russia liberated East Europe from the Germans and their aim was to make sure no adversary would repeat the Hitler debacle. Guns and Butter! Russia went broke trying to run the the gimme police state of Eastern Europe and trying to keep up with the USA in an arms race. They do not want any part of Eastern Europe now.
Churchill warned against Jewish Communism as a young man and was apparently severely warned not to say such a thing ever again. His debts were mysteriously paid and the path towards power was made clear for him.
When Prince Peter of Poland somehow gained an audience with the Three Amigos to protest the betrayal of Poland to Stalin, only Churchill had the dignity to feel ashamed and look down. FDR simply said icily, It has been decided. Stalin said nothing but was enjoying the scene immensely.
Nay more: To his credit, Churchill raged against the mass importation of 3rd Worlders in Britain after the war. It was as if Britain had lost or something (they had). But he had served his purpose and was elbowed aside. Hitler had warned Britain: If you fight Germany again, you will lose your Empire. Now they are losing their very nation.
Did he? There are documents that relate to Churchill's secret meeting with Stalin without FDR/Americans in October 1944 where he and Eden negotiated who would dominate which countries. Are these sources correct, IDK, I wasn't there. I can accept your characterization of the events surrounding the allies capitulation to the Bolsheviks of the Soviet Union. the result is the same, control by the City of London in deference to the Bolsheviks they supported.
Agreed, Hayek said to never let the war planners get in charge of the economy, or they'd never let it go.
Half of our Federal budget is devoted to war. Half!! And we don't even realize how lopsided that is. It's like saying mold has only taken half the loaf, so we've still got something to eat.
The Koran speaks of a powerful Arabian civilization devoted to commerce and war. It was exterminated by a great sandstorm that lasted a day, a night, and another day. Neither the buildings nor the people were every seen again.
Actually, the lack of cohesion in the USA since its inception has made it necessary to use their tools to unify and give it a common culture, a common purpose. Unfortunately for us, this is “Wag the Dog”. America has been in a war about every twenty years since it was created as the PTB in the DC scene try to keep all the diverse groups focused on a common purpose:
Kill the enemy, the enemy that the government creates.
BTW, nothing new here. Corrupting “Leaders” have been creating enemies since humanity was created. Cain has been killing Abel since Genesis.
"America has been in a war about every twenty years since it was created..."
More like "America has been at war virtually non-stop since it was created."
It was created by the conquest and dispossession of the American Indians. It could not have been created in any other way, right?
And how many wars have been fought on American soil? Lincoln's war on the southern states? The Mexican American war? Not many. Which means America has largely been the aggressor in these wars, not the defender. America lost the moral high ground a long time ago.
Side note, we actually bought the territory won in the Mexican War.
Mexico had only owned it for 27 years, it was previously owned by Spain for 147 years. We offered $30 million, as it was sparsely inhabited and under constant attack by the Apaches and the vast Comanche slave empire. Mexico turned it down, having abolished slavery in 1829 to discourage slave-owning settlers, still an open question in the United States.
We reimbursed Mexico $15 million dollars, as the War had left them deeply in debt, and the Republic of Texas didn't want any more trouble. Mexico already had its plate full, with political turmoil, Comancheros, dictatorships, and 3 more civil wars ending in 1920 (or '29, the war with the Church.)
Yup, but every 20 years or so internal conflict gets the government to create a new enemy to go to war with. Nothing better for unity than a common foe.
Decades ago I saw it coming: Russia was being conflated with Nazi Germany in pop culture. This is operant conditioning. Associate something new with a previously condition object. Why start from scratch? Why waste the previous effort?
There is a revenge element that is part of this on the part of the neocons. Yes, the City of London bankers want the money they stole from Russia in the 90's and Putin maneuvered to take back, back. There you have it the oldest economic agenda is the scramble for scarce resources both in the Heartland of Eurasia to the oil fields of the Middle East.

Exactly, our worst enemy is domestic, and our foreign enemies know it and use the fact. Sowing discord is what BRICS+ et al are doing. Invasion is just one of the current processes that are proving to be successful. The group that ran the White House and Congress under Biden are the worst enemies that America has ever had in its history.
A really good question here, was it they were under Biden or Biden was a stuttering puppet under them.
Both. And never forget blackmail remains the powerful currency of the political class.
Totally right Robert.
I think it started in 2014 with the US overthrow of the legitimate government of the territory of Ukraine.
The US overthrows a lot of legitimate governments. This particular overthrow created an existential problem for Russia and its Federation.
Mr. Putin was quite clear with his objectives regarding the Special Military Operation:
Neutral Ukraine (translation = No NATO expansion into the territory))
DeNazification (translation = Get rid of the ideologic descendants of the WW2 fascists in the territory
He has shown a lot of patience as NATO (the US proxy in Europe and elsewhere) continues to wage war against Russia using Ukrainians as cannon fodder.
For those wishing for his overthrow, Dmitry Medvedev appears next in line, with a history of holding positions of substance in the Russian Federation. Compared to Dmitry Medvedev, Vladimir Putin will look like a pacifist.
Regarding the actions vs Japan in the 1930's, the names have changed along with the geography, the script remains essentially unaltered.
What could possibly go wrong?
Fortunately Russia is likely the most self sufficient nation unlike Japan. They do not need to import energy or natural resources. They can hunker down and laugh at sanctions longer than anyone else. They can pay in Gold or oil for just about anything they could conceivably need.

You, like so many, are just waiting for the bomb to drop on Trump, for the tariffs to tear trade apart.
Ain’t going to happen!!! All that is happening is that America is going to have access to foreign markets that have had tariffs so high to keep American goods out of their countries. The balance of trade between the USA and the world is moving to be more equal. How can anyone want the continuance of trillions of dollars flowing out of this country into the pockets of foreigners. The tariffs are reciprocal. The tariffs punish countries that have taken advantage of American beneficence for a long time, Japan immediately comes to mind. Canada and Mexico too. NAFTA and USMCA were a joke, allowing the American economy to move next door. This shit will stop under Trump as he continues to push punitive tariffs against both countries. Surprise, they are going to find out that they need our consumer base more than we need them.
BRICS+ is going to die a slow death.
That's a tough call. I mean, can you imagine as corrupt a bunch as the Third World countries holding anything together for very long?
On the other hand, the CIPS alternative to SWIFT is resource-based rather than debt-based and far superior as a settlememt platform.
When it comes to corruption, the Anglosphere used to make it look pretty, but now the sheer scale of corruption in the Blackmail Nations almost rivals anything you used to find in the Warsaw Pact.
We aren't to East German levels (headlights on bright at noon due to the coal smog) or Chinese toxicity of air, land, water, just yet, but with solar and wind toxifying our soils as fast as they can buy up farmland, and AI centers or urban overpopulation sucking up the available freshwater, we may get to the garbage mountains and trash-choked rivers of the Emerging Nations soon.
"How can anyone want the continuance of trillions of dollars flowing out of this country into the pockets of foreigners."
The tariffs have to be balanced against a cruel necessity; The limitations of attention spans and the election cycle. Tariffs are not simply revenue, they're also intended to be a magnet for investment.
The complexity of modern supply chains makes production capital-intensive, and drawing investment requires promising a return. Returns on foreign investments accrue to foreign places.
President Trump inherited an extraordinary level of currency debasement. That inflated currency spurred even more money creation as it worked its way through the distribution curve.
Time presses, and the only way to avoid an impending implosion and deflation is by inflating asset bubbles. Foreign equity is the only quick way to do that.
With only four years to shepherd those capital flows, the monetary velocity acceleration at the "main street" points of distribution, may not sequester a sufficiency of domestic growth engines to achieve and sustain the desired and required repatriation of ownership.
There are those who insist that it cannot, and they have a point that mustn't be ignored. It is a huge gamble, and all that we can do is to wait and see. There is more to this than simply creating investment vehicles and hoping that a terminally-distorted market will do the rest of the work.
Given the lack of national will to endure the sort of targeted austerity required to restore balanced monetary velocity within the domestic distribution curve, I don't see where the president had much choice but to inflate asset bubbles with migratory capital. Something had to be done, and each of the few options is fraught with risk.
As far as I can see at this point, foreign extraction of aggregate American wealth will continue at an unsustainably (for Americans) high rate. I very much hope that my assessment is flawed in a way that favors domestic ownership of essential industry. Viewing it all from the perspective of accruals presents a picture that is fascinating and rather horrifying, in equal measure.
Even assuming a positive trajectory for President Trump's maneuvers, his successor will inherit an extreme measure of risk. Should that person blink, it will all come to naught.
Time will tell if this desperate gamble pays off. There are always errors, and we must pray that they are remediable.
They have China, India, Iran, etc. They don't need us. They have each other. We can just fuck off.
Well, no. 1. Yes I drive a Toyota because it is the only brand that offers a plug in hybrid. I buy cars for gas efficiency and the RAV4 Prime is a perfect vehicle for suburban use. If Ford built a similar vehicle I would favor America made. Until then?
You are aware that MAGA folks in DC are talking about rebating part of the tariff money back to the people. I do not agree with that, thinking that debt payoff should be a priority. Remember the “surplus” Clinton ran in the late 1990s? Bush gave everyone a tax cut which led right into the 2008 debacle. The government needs to be run like a business, pay off your debt or face bankruptcy.
You think the USA is on its way out and tariffs will accentuate that. You have to compare to the rest of the world, where we are far superior. The rest of the world is kowtowing to Trump because they have no choice.
What would happen if the whole world had reciprocal tariffs of 10%? Pretty soon, everyone would realize the stupidity of EVERYONE paying a needless 10% surcharge. Would the result possibly free trade?
There is much in what you say.
American reliance on unearned income is the primary chokepoint, regardless of relative advantage in the balance of trade.
Your proposed refinements are sensible. The issue they face is the way realpolitik dictates other refinements that negate them. President Trump cannot do other than engage in a bewildering game of whack-a-mole. His deal with Japan is a competitive disadvantage for essential American industry.
To my mind, there are two examples that highlight the problem; Delco and Capicom. The former is a poster child for what occurs at the component level, the latter an example of how defect rates affect accelerated obsolescence.
As far as cost of ownership goes, look at the amortization of thirsty UIO. It's no accident that the fleet offerings have accompanying frictions for retail purchasers.
If you're of a certain vintage, I suspect that you remember the tipping point; environmental regulation unaccompanied by protective trade barriers. That particular regulatory burden precipitated a cost transfer that triggered a production facility reamortization uncompetitive with imports for a number of reasons.
People are too narrowly focused on labor cost, unaware of the relationship between amortization, accruals and exporting turnkey smokestack industries.
Take a breath Socrates!
Now you're scaring me. Since Ukraine is a testing ground, I think we're going to see the normalization of low yield tactical nukes. No matter, it seems Oreshniks, Kinzhals, and Satans are approaching similar yields.
No Turks, you say? Well, there may be a silver lining after all.
The Russians believe they don't even need their nukes to defeat us, but rather just their Oreshnik missiles armed with powerful, conventional explosives. But if push comes to shove, they can arm the with nukes as well.
The rape of the American mind continues apace, with nary a peep. Fact is, most Americans, have no mind, and so don’t mind all the weird Uncle Ernies fiddling and diddling about. They are on a life-long free-float in an inner-tube on the river of life, troubling themselves with nothing so much as trivial ephemera, wandering dust particles that happen across their irises. They spout juvenile “opinions” grounded in little but fantasies and delusions they mistake for immutable facts. They quite literally wear their beliefs — on tattooed body parts, and walk around in public in what amounts to pajamas and slippers. They are grown children, and they are the problem with America. And this problem, the rampant, inbred, pugnacious stupidity of the million, cannot be fixed. Such a “civilization” must, and should, fail. America turned into nothing so much as a collective of ungovernable, avaricious barbarians. My answer, for my sanity, has been to withdraw from pretty much all of it, into the school of myself (where I am just a human being who is part, not lord, of nature), where I observe and study the astonishing spectacle of human madness with bottomless sadness.
Hmmm, maybe because there is very few people left in our borders that are really American, understanding what that word means.
To your brilliant, succinct, and truthful analysis I would only add the following.
The WEF or World Enslavement Forum, its graduates ensconced in every government, its $10 trillion of inclusive capitalism, its hundreds of invisible public-private partnerships and NGO’s, is deliberately manufacturing poly-crises all over the globe for the oft stated purpose of manufacturing our consent to a NWO and global totalitarian technocracy.
Their most poisonous ideology, like their covid-19 virus engineered to attach to the bodies ACE2 receptors knowing full well that this harms organ metabolism and causes all the disability and death; attaches to the human psyche filled with a sense of victimhood.
So, the elites engineered their poisonous ideology deliberately to attache to the psyche’s of individuals who feel sexually, racially, environmentally, and economically, oppressed.
Which in turn, causes major harms to the body politic such as de-humanization, de-industrialization, and de-population.
We just need to rely upon our natural intellectual immunity by understanding how this synthetic mind virus is debilitating our nation, and unleash the power of our Judeo-Christian faith, family, freedom, and love of country T-Cells.
We can turn everyone into British Protestants in no time, I'm sure of it!
Great point. After all, if British Protestants could end slavery in the British empire they could certainly help end the slavery of this totalitarian engineered mind virus afflicting us all.
Having degenerated into a criminal conspiracy as the Bolsheviks became after the Congress of 1905, I expect the Democrats to attempt to unleash their Antifa terrorists and other crackpot militias on the American people rather than spend a few years in the political wilderness and cleanse their "soul" in order to return to Constitutional competition.
Well said!!!
A fine primer on Ukraine and related fuckery for those who haven’t paid attention for the past decade, and summary for those who hadn’t quite put the puzzle pieces together yet.
I would add that the hero of the story is Mr. Putin, whose preternatural restraint and self discipline has saved us all from WWIII – at least so far. Such extreme provocations as lobbing missiles into Moscow would certainly have incinerated us all if Russia had reciprocated and our nitwit “leaders” had the opportunity to respond.
Also on the podium for medals should be Iran and China who, like Russia, seem to understand that putting up with our bullshit long enough for the US to finish collapsing is the best way to play the Long Game.
We have driven these three formidable nations into a military alliance that should ultimately checkmate the mischief that our decadent, profiteering military establishment has planned, especially if Mr. Trump is able to dismantle more of their enabling infrastructure, such as USAID.
Neither he nor anyone else can be hoped to arrest the collapse for which we have already slipped past the event horizon, but we can at least hope that our future won’t have to be rebuilt upon smoldering ashes.
And yet there are Millions here and abroad that deny all the evidence presented. "There is none so blind as he that refuses to see."
Putin, the Iranian mullahs, and China are all far from heroes.
Most isolated acts of heroism are accomplished by individuals who can't be described as heroes. Our selected "enemies:" are heroically refraining from destroying the world in response to our foolishness.
Putin, the Iranian mullahs, and the ruling Communist Party of China are all self-interested, self-serving, and corrupt. Heroism has nothing to do with their calculated geopolitical moves. Your binary thinking is simplistically stupid.
As if the good ole USA is the Benevolent one serving a charitable rather than a profit-making purpose...
The word stupeō (from which "stupid" derives) is also related to other words like "stupor" (a state of near unconsciousness or insensitivity)
I didn’t say anything about the USA, James.
Almost as much as the Deep State, especially the MIC.
We disagree, Paul. Go back to sleep.
If you were a decent and reasonable man, Howard, you would have left it at “we disagree.” But you’re not, Howard.
The subject at hand is Geopolitics and you are preoccupied with Good Guys and Bad Guys. It's the difference between playing Poker and Old Maid.
Wretchard, at Belmont Club: "Great Men, are rarely also good men."
The Khomeinist Arabs that took over Iran have devolved into typical Mideast potentates, content with merely enriching themselves a la the Castros in Cuba by stealing the country's potential and sending their trash to go attack Israel (so the trash can't attack them.)
Putin began as a criminal, and is rather American at enriching himself, while Xi lived in a cave for two years hiding from the zealots of his own Party. Both will wage war overt and covert in the interests of their country, which is very un-American. Netanyahoo can be seen in that light as well, all four are a return to kings.
Meanwhile in Congress our so called representatives continue to do as little as possible to help bring the guilty to trial. So much talk and still no action. I’m tired of this nonsense and don’t expect anything from it except the same lame excuses that we always get. No wonder Congress has such a low approval rating. 😡😡😡
Congress is only interested in one thing, getting re-elected. They do not give one damn about America.
DC, the Deep State is a good old boys (girls too) club and like so many other GOBCs spends much of its time trying to self-perpetuate.
Jim, your ultra clear eyed assessment pokes a stick into the hornet’s nest and will trigger bad dreams and voices inside the heads of TDS sufferers.
Naw. The remaining TDS sufferers are impenetrable.
Their delusions are Tardigrade Tough™️
Tardi,
You’re probably right about unreachable entrenched TDS sufferers, but
a quick scroll through the 269 comments to date reveals many cages with spinning wheels, but dead hamsters 😵
Ditto with TAD or Trump Adoration Syndrome.
I pray he runs in 2028 - why live by rules written by your enemies?
Good point. We need an Emperor, but the Trumps are not for the real America and American people.
Greg Murphy, MD, Republican, NC, on Maria Bartiromo this morning: "I hope Karma's coming to bite Hillary in the Ass."
It better hurry up :)
Kharma already did it lost to Trump.
Yes, again, the way to punish power giants is to remove their access to power.
Good point... I don't claim to understand Kharma (who does?) but I'm willing to bet she's still adding mightily to hers :)
My Kharma ran over your Dogma....
Hahahahaha
Did y'all not see the demon drop dead and be thrown into her van like a sack of potatoes?
There are two novel sticking points in today's foreign policy.
The first is Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) a politically fatal disease fostered by the DNC and the MSM. Hating the President (and for no good reason) is a new religion for too many people at home and abroad. There's no way to counteract this derangement: neither fact, theory, or the reality around us can get these clouded minds to break loose of this psychosis and deal with it. Even the growing revelations of conspiracy between the intelligence and police agencies cannot turn off the Crazy. And the foreign TDS is even worse.
While President Trump is trying to function in spite of this madness, he does not help his cause by tolerating and appeasing the neocons like Lindsey Graham and the EU. He is simultaneously trying to clean up the mess at home and the mess abroad with one hand tied behind his back.
When Trump faces his reality at last, the rest will follow, and progress will be made. I hope this happens soon, like September, so that measureable progress can be made before 2028 arrives.
They hate America! They hate capitalism because they are losers, gimme losers who want someone, the government to feel sorry for them and provide for them.
Socialists believe that the government is superior to themselves and should thus have control. The real problem is that government is design by committee, the sure fire method of mucking everything up.
I wouldn't call them losers, they profit mightily and reward their loyalists handsomely;
I'd call them, instead, a parallel economy, playing by different rules.
Yeah, imagine a baseball game having referees or people above the game to keep the game fair. It's bullshit!
The media complex is corrupted and broken. It needs a total overhaul. “News” organizations have completely morphed into entities designed to shape and control public’s opinion and thought. They no longer deliver “news”, if they ever did. They provide only enough snippets of “news” and entertainment to draw in viewers in order to deliver the viewpoints and propaganda of those who allow those entities to exist by providing all their funding. Messages designed by pharma and food and government not to provide information but to mould and control public opinion. The evidence is everywhere: look at how the media was deployed to shape the Trump Russia hoax perpetrated by Hillary, or the pharma hoax of vaccines and so much more, or the COVID hoax, or the climate hoax, and on and on - not delivering accurate reliable information with which people can make their own informed decisions, but manipulated and false narratives designed to herd people in the desired direction. It is not designed to inform but to induce people to believe what the messengers pay for them to hear. That is a warped and perverted purpose that serves no good end. The advertising supported media complex should be reformed or eliminated by removing the source of their funding which is used to purchase and capture their unwitting audience by delivering paid propaganda. The only way to reform media is to remove its corrupt funding - eliminate pharma, food and other advertising. The advertising model for funding media is broken and must be eliminated.
The media is OWNED by the same cabal.
The same NAMELESS CABAL who hides behind the scapegoats.
Another absolutely BRILLIANT dissertation by my fellow New Yawker, JHK who never disappoints.
As long as we're unraveling the Russia-Russia-Russia fiasco, I think it's long past time that alt Media and Team Trump start a full scale, no holds barred investigation of the SETH RICH MURDER.
Why the f*** are we getting Epstein-Epstein-Epstein constantly on a daily basis yet I am not seeing anything about the SETH RICH caper and his subsequent MURDER.
Please let this comment serve as a formal request to JHK to share with us any research or analysis he may have done regarding this most important topic.
The SETH RICH affair involves every one of these Satanic Scumbags who were part of the Russia Coup as well as the usual suspects from the Intel Community.
Here is a brief synopsis:
Seth Rich was a 27-year-old DNC staffer working as a voter expansion data director when he was shot and killed on July 10, 2016, in Washington, D.C. Police believe it was a botched robbery, as his possessions were not taken, but no perpetrators have been identified. At the time there were those in the alt and conventional media, including, of all people, Sean Hannity, who suggested that SETH had leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks and was killed for it.
Here's where it got really interesting as a former IC member, William Binney got involved in the case.
William (Bill) Binney was a former NSA technical director and whistleblower who left the agency in 2001 after raising concerns about its surveillance programs. He later became a prominent critic of government overreach and he started his own investigation of the SETH RICHARD affair.
Binney has claimed, based on forensic analysis, that the 2016 Democratic National Committee (DNC) email leak was not a hack by Russian intelligence but an inside job, likely involving a data transfer to a physical device like a thumb drive. His analysis argues that the data transfer speeds and metadata suggest local access rather than a remote hack. In other words, it was NOT Russian interference.
Data Transfer Speed indicates local copy, not remote hack. The transfer speed of the data (approximately 22.7 megabytes per second) was too fast for a typical internet connection at the time, especially for a transatlantic hack. Binney argued this speed suggested the data was copied locally to a physical device, like a USB drive, rather than exfiltrated over the internet
The analysis pointed to a file transfer rate consistent with a direct copy within a local network or onto an external storage device, implying someone with physical access to the DNC’s systems performed the extraction.
A 2017 meeting with then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo, reportedly at Trump’s urging, brought Binney’s theory to wider attention, though the CIA has always maintained its stance that it was "the Russians" who were responsible. You have to ask yourself- how is this still possible given the treasure trove of inside info that's just been uncovered, including the Burn Bags?
Of course there was a lot of controversy about Binney's work at the time and the Intelligence goons did everything possible to discredit him because if he was correct, SETH RICH'S MURDER could possibly be traced to the DNC and the highest level of our Satanic Overlords and IC Rulers.
If anyone reading this has more up to date info about the SETH RICH case, perhaps you can share it with us. Meanwhile, I hope that JHK's interest has been piqued such that he will look into it. I know that there are people in High Places who read his blog/substack and who appreciate his work.
Thanks for going through the refresher course on Seth Rich for me. I’ve forgotten a lot of the details. Julian Assange claims he knows who the leaker is and they’re not who has been proffered up by the fake media and other government goons. I suspect his pursuit for asylum and subsequent incarceration were ginned up by those in charge who are most at risk by Assange’s reveal of what he knows. I won’t be surprised if we hear even now that he has “disappeared”.
Hugh- I had almost forgotten about Seth Rich myself when I came across some old emails I had archived from the time period when he was murdered. I went to Grok and Chat to get what factual info I could scrub from their AI and was amazed to see that both robots are hopelessly biased as though they had been programmed by their Deep State operatives.
I knew enough from my own past research to pull a few bits and pieces that were factual, but clearly, we need to have Kash, Dan, Tulsi, whoever do a deep dive investigation into the SETH RICH MURDER.
Garbage in. Garbage out. The AI training data is the internet that Google and others have foisted on us.
Only one of the many problems AI presents.
ROD ROSENSTEIN, the Rosetta Stone of the whole operation. By the way, where is ‘ole Rod? Been awfully quiet on the front.
Wasn’t he found on a park bench after committing “suicide”? Also, weren't the leaks aimed at showing the dirty tricks HRC was using against Bernie Sanders? Also that Donna Brazil gave HRC all the questions for a debate with Trump?
Remember too that things have just gotten worse with that nest of vipers.
Shades of Vince Foster, who had been making secret overnight trips to Europe on the Concorde.
Anyone who knows Russians realizes that all they want is to be left alone. Can you imagine them invading western europe and trying to make sense of it afterwards? They'd for sure just turn around and leave, lol.
Yeah, East Europe destroyed the USSR, bankrupting it. I doubt they want to repeat that mistake.
"we are in the middle of a maelstrom. Arrests and prosecutions are coming," Didn't I read that on this blog on Monday? And last week? And last month? And last year? And 5 years before that? Hmm, how many prominent Democrats have been arrested and charged with crimes rising from Russia Gate, or the January 6th protest, or anything similar, at all? I mean, other than Hunter Biden, who was swiftly pardoned of course, just how many arrests are we talking about here?
Nothing moves quickly in law, but to the contrary, is very slow moving and requires much patience. The documents that are evidence of mostly Demoncrap crimes have just come to the attention of a newly transformed Justice Department, which still has many leftist installs from the Demoncraps. Same at CIA and other agencies, as it takes time to clean out the vipers. But now having actual proof in the perps own words and emails means a new and highstakes game has begun. Like the old saw that an attorney should never ask a question that he does not already know the answer to, no case will or should be brought until the evidence is rock solid and has undergone review and testing before production in a court of law. And lastly, never bring a case in a jurisdiction that is so corrupt to be a waste of time and money, like New York or Washington, DC., both brimming with corrupt judges and like jurors.
See ya next year, galt. August of 2026, no arrests, no indictments, nothing, and you will still be saying "it takes time" and telling me to be patient. I am a former prosecutor, BTW. Real criminal investigations don't involve the prosecutor going on a talk show. . .like Kash Patel's recent appearance on The Joe Rogan show to bloviate about his investigations and the arrests that were just about to happen, real soon. Real criminal investigations don't involve the President posting stupid memes of a former president in an orange jumpsuit in a jail cell. The Trump administration is acting like they are part of a particularly bad episode of the TV show "Law & Order". . .as opposed to doing anything serious to any corrupt Democrats.
CTH, another site that only JHK approaches in his formidable grasp of detail. drills down into just how complicated the Deep State "information silo" has become, not only from the Long Takeover by the Intelligence community, but very deliberately by design since Obama and Holder, members of a radical cell, effected a takeover of the Takeover.
This one will take time - our would-be masters have given Trump only enough time to avenge himself, pray that it is enough of a dent. Until they are reconditioned, that is, these types always try to weasel their way back.
"The long game for the neocon crazies has been to use NATO as the instrument to break up Russia and gain control of its resources".
No, sorry Jim. Your aim is too low on the totem pole. It was not the "neocon crazies". It was, and is, and has always been the international banking cartel and cabal, centered in the City of London and its annex in Wall Street and D.C.
Yes, and who runs/owns that cartel? I’ll say it, the Jewish Cabal. That’s it in a nutshell
How is it that we always know the names of "the Jewish Cabal" Mike, but not those who actually put them out front to take all the heat?
Because the khazar "Jewish" cabal is an easy trope to attack and has been for several thousand years.
Because they're ultimately NOT REAL JEWS!
What is a real Jew?
Do they read the torah?
DO they wear the goofy little hat and celebrate Hanukkah?
Do they get their wiener snipped.
Inquiring minds want to know what a real Jew is.
How many Americans could identify Victoria Nuland and the role she played in US foreign policy in Eastern Europe when she was at the State Department? The neo-con crazies have a lot of blood on their hands including many thousands of dead Ukrainians and Russians from the war that has been raging between the two countries since 2022.
YouTube:
Glenn Beck. Chalkboard Ukraine.
Corruption to the nth degree, Obama/Biden/Nuland. How many people realize that the USA fomented a coup in Ukraine to depose a legally elected president from Ukraine East that favored Russians? What really pisses me off is the real reason Biden backed them is he invested heavily, along with his son, in Ukraine and that a million people have been killed and what civility between Russia and Europe has been destroyed so that Hunter et al could have his little empire. Truly evil people.
Two Jewish families control our foreign policy.
