“The unmasked are unmasking their masked antagonists.”

The Unmasking (Jim Kunstler)

A “People’s Convoy” is assembling around Barstow, California (the capital of the Mojave Desert, where there’s plenty of room to assemble), with a launch date of February 23, next Wednesday, destination: Washington DC. Won’t that be… interesting? What will the government of “Joe Biden” do? Likewise invoke some sort of emergency powers? Declare yet another “insurrection” as with January 6, 2021? Mess with the truckers’ bank accounts, and those of the people who support them? Do they want to inspire a run on US banks at a juncture where the extreme fragility of the global banking system threatens to blow up financial markets? Standing by on that.

The US government, like Canada’s, has likewise been at war with its citizens. At least half the country has awakened to this unappetizing reality — even while somewhat less than half the country still catatonically follows whatever idiotic diktat the despotic bureaucracy spews out. Why, for instance, do so many still go about in face masks even where local regulations are lifted? (And especially in light of the overwhelming evidence that masks don’t work?) Answer: to signify that they are still against Trump, the evil leviathan said to be responsible for all the woes and injustices in the world and who threatens their ”safety”— meaning, their status as oppressed victims of “white supremacy,” including the guilty-and-penitent self-oppressed white people of the Left themselves. Yeah, it’s just that simple because we are in an epic episode of human social hysteria.

[..] The companies who produced the “vaccines’ are even on the run. Pfizer withdrew its application for an emergency use authorization in India, where the public health agency insisted on seeing the safety records Pfizer was obliged to furnish — and refused to. India is a big market for pharmaceuticals, some 1.39 billion. Pfizer’s stock has crashed nearly 10 percent the past two weeks. By the way, some of the states of India are notable for having battled Covid-19 with the mass distribution of early treatment kits containing cheap anti-virals such as ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin D, etc. The program was famously successful in reducing deaths there. The CEO of Moderna, Stéphane Bancel, has sold off $400-million of his own stock in the company and deleted his Twitter account on rumors that all-causes deaths reported by US life insurance companies show a shocking and mysterious rise in mortality that just may be attributed to the “vaccines” causing strokes, heart attacks, cancer cases, and immune system failures. (Moderna’s stock is also sinking.)

Neither the mainstream news media nor the US public health agencies are making any effort to investigate this now well-documented occurrence. We’re in the midst of a tremendous shift of public opinion. Winter is not over but the truth is budding now in a thousand places. The people are done kneeling docilly to be silenced and killed. They will not let this country, and many other nations in the Western Civ club, be destroyed without a fight. The unmasked are unmasking their masked antagonists. Stand by, now, to find out who has been behind all this deadly mischief. We will rip off their masks and the rule of law will be restored.

“..instead of violence there were bouncy castles, hot tubs, pancake breakfasts, pig roasts, road hockey games, dancing and fireworks displays.”

Police Horses Trample Demonstrators At Freedom Convoy Protest In Ottawa (TSun)

Turns out the lasting image of the Freedom Convoy protest at Parliament Hill will not be bouncy castles but that of a woman with a walker being trampled by a police horse. The violence the Prime Minister has expressed concern about during the three-week protest in Ottawa didn’t unfold until Justin Trudeau’s Emergencies Act police army was sent in to disperse the crowd. The three major incidents Friday, under a form of martial law, were grotesque. Video of Toronto Police Mounted Unit officers charging into the crowd and at least one horse trampling multiple people — including an elderly woman with a walker — was disturbing. But that was not the only troubling incident.

Another saw a protester behind a police line repeatedly being smashed with an officer’s rifle. And convoy organizer Benjamin Dichter also told the Toronto Sun “one of drivers had his truck windows smashed by Ottawa Police (with) guns drawn and (he was) dragged out of his vehicle by force.” It’s ironic when you think back to three weeks ago. “Of course I’m concerned,” Trudeau told The Canadian Press on Jan. 28. “A number of people are there without wanting to incite violence, but there are going to be, as we’ve heard, a small group of people in there who are posing a threat to themselves, to each other, to Canadians.” But instead of violence there were bouncy castles, hot tubs, pancake breakfasts, pig roasts, road hockey games, dancing and fireworks displays.


While Trudeau tried to pin the online postings of a Swastika and Confederate flag on the truckers, they brought in a crane to rise the Canadian flag and sang O Canada every day. They definitely wore out their welcome while clogging up the parliamentary district of Ottawa, not wearing masks and excessively honking their horns. But they didn’t cause violence. So why the heavy hand in their mission to win back the city? That’s the question Ottawa Police, the Prime Minister, Premier Doug Ford and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson need to answer.

Upcoming police action prevents House from discussing the legality of……police action.

Canada Parliament Axes Friday Plans To Meet Over Emergencies Act (GN)

Friday meetings of the House of Commons and the Senate over the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the so-called “freedom convoy” demonstrations were cancelled due to safety concerns. Government House Leader Mark Holland later confirmed that the debate will resume on Saturday, with Speaker Anthony Rota adding the House will sit from 7 a.m. to midnight Eastern. Debate is still expected to continue Sunday and Monday. Holland said the final vote on the measure will be held Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern. “I am looking forward to the historic and fulsome debate that lies ahead,” he said on Twitter. A note from Speaker Anthony Rota noted Friday’s cancellation is spurred on by an impending police operation set to take place by Parliament Hill and around Ottawa’s downtown core.

“The #HoC will not sit today, Friday, February 18. A police operation is expected in the downtown core of Ottawa. Given these exceptional circumstances, and following discussion with all recognized party leadership, the sitting today is cancelled,” wrote Anthony Rota, speaker of the House, in a tweet on Friday. NDP House Leader Peter Julian confirmed the cancellation on Twitter. “Around 4:30 AM this morning all four of us — the House Leaders in the House of Commons — agreed to cancel today’s House of Commons session that was scheduled to start at 7 AM. It is everyone’s hope that the Convoy will peacefully leave #Ottawa & will end their #OttawaOccupation,” Julian tweeted.

Rota cited concerns from the Parliamentary Police Service (PPS) and noted that all House Leaders were in agreement on the cancellation. “Given these exceptional circumstances, and following discussion with all recognized party leadership, the sitting today is cancelled,” Rota wrote in a letter Friday.

“..in response to their singing, praying, dancing, candy floss, bouncy castles, speeches about the Constitution and outpourings of patriotic love for the country, your government has not only refused to meet with these citizens to hear their concerns, you have insulted, denigrated and lied about them..”

Canadian Clergy Rebuke Trudeau For Invoking Emergencies Act (Fox)

A group of Canadian clergy sent an open letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this week rebuking him for invoking the Emergencies Act to quell the Freedom Convoy and for other actions they described as “tyrannical.” “We are writing to you as representative pastors of Christian congregations from across the nation and as law-abiding citizens who respect the God-defined role of civil government and uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the highest law of our land, which recognizes the supremacy of God over all human legislation,” read the letter, which was signed by 29 clergymen and remains open for other Canadians to sign.

Explaining their repeated, earnest attempts to prayerfully redress their grievances with all levels of government regarding “indefinite suspension of civil liberties, coercive mandates and perpetual state interference in the life, freedom and worship of the church,” the pastors denounced Trudeau for cracking down on the Freedom Convoy instead of hearing them out. They emphasized that members of the clergy are a part of the convoy. “The Ottawa protest has presented your government with a wonderful opportunity to meet with and speak to ordinary Canadians lawfully and peaceably requiring the restoration of their constitutional rights,” they wrote.

“However, in response to their singing, praying, dancing, candy floss, bouncy castles, speeches about the Constitution and outpourings of patriotic love for the country, your government has not only refused to meet with these citizens to hear their concerns, you have insulted, denigrated and lied about them, further dividing a hurting and broken nation.” The pastors went on to rebuke Trudeau and his government for seemingly believing that they have the authority to bestow and remove fundamental rights at will. “Your government does not grant people the right to their bodily integrity, the right to work or earn a living, the right to decide for their children or to be with their families or dying loved ones, the right to gather to worship and obey God, the right to travel in their own land or enter and leave. Civil government exists to protect these pre-political and fundamental freedoms, not bestow and remove them as if it can function in the place of God.”

“The Ministry of Peace is established to create war; the Ministry of Truth is established to create lies and propaganda; the Ministry of Love established to justify torture and beatings; and the Ministry of Plenty to control food production leading to starvation.”

The Democracy Disconnect in Canada (CTH)

When the terms “freedom and liberty” are allowed to be defined as extremist sentiment, what you end up with are Canadian federal police beating people in the streets and arresting citizens who petition their government for freedom. Meanwhile, the ever fearful and politically correct conservatives in Parliament grasp their pearls while simultaneously cowering to avoid labels. Somewhere there is a radical called Saul Alinsky, the trainer of modern revolutionary communists and political leftists – who dedicated his training manual to Lucifer, smiling as he watches the results of his teachings. Unfortunately, we have not yet seen the worst of what is to come from this.


Allow me to highlight the point with two easily referenced examples from Canadian media (infiltrated with ideological stenographers) and contemplate the larger message against government saying we must “defend our democracy” while removing political protest. Notice the evolution of the collective narrative in just a few days. The word “freedom” is extremist (Feb 13) … Conservatives are “extremist” (Feb 18)

When “freedom and liberty” are defined as extremism, conservatives become defined as extremists. See how that works? Yes, linguistic judo and ideological training provided by Saul Alinsky, in his rules for radicals. In essence, Alinsky taught the budding communists to define the opposition, isolate them, ridicule them and marginalize them. Now, if you find yourself having a mental reference to a race of persons as defined during World War II, before Alinsky’s book was even written, your reference point is solid. Whenever we allow any entity, group, or collective echo-chamber to change the terminology, we are making a big mistake.


Orwell wrote about the outcome in his book 1984, where The Ministry of Peace is established to create war; the Ministry of Truth is established to create lies and propaganda; the Ministry of Love established to justify torture and beatings; and the Ministry of Plenty to control food production leading to starvation. These are not simply contradictions in words and terms, these are an earlier version of what David Mamet later described as necessary tools for modern leftists. In order to advance severe ideological positions, they must pretend not to know things. Ignoring contradictions is a feature of modern leftism, not a flaw.

“..cryptocurrency donations being collected in relation to illegal acts falling under the scope of the Emergency Measures Act..”

RCMP Orders Blacklist Of 34 Crypto Wallets (CS)

The Counter Signal has exclusively obtained an order sent by Trudeau’s federal police force, which demands that all FINTRAC regulated companies in Canada cease transacting with 34 cryptocurrency wallets. The wallets are alleged to be associated with the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. The Counter Signal has confirmed at least one wallet which had contained over $1 million worth of Bitcoin as being a part of the HonkHonkHodl campaign to support truckers via cryptocurrency. Whether this demand from police will hamper access to the funds is still unclear. The police order comes via Trudeau’s extraordinary and self-prescribed emergency powers, and affects over 25 Bitcoin, worth approximately $1.4 million dollars.


“The Ontario Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police are currently investigating cryptocurrency donations being collected in relation to illegal acts falling under the scope of the Emergency Measures Act,” the RCMP order begins. “Pursuant to the Emergency Economic Measures Order, under subsection 19(1) of the Emergencies Act, there is a duty to cease facilitating any transactions pertaining to the following cryptocurrency address(es).” Trudeau’s officers list 29 Bitcoin addresses, 2 Ethereum, and 1 wallet each of Cardano, Monero, and Litecoin. [..] “Any information about a transaction or proposed transaction in respect of these address(es), is to be disclosed immediately to the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, at [email protected],” the RCMP pleaded.

Mark Carney ready to replace Justin?

Ottawa Freedom Convoy Tears Down Illusion of Democracy in North America (Ehret)

Who would have thought that Canada would ever be a spark plug for a freedom movement against tyranny? As the editor of a Canadian geopolitical magazine for over 10 years and author of four books on Canadian History, I am a bit embarrassed to say that I certainly didn’t think that Canadians had this in them. The “monarchy of the north” certainly isn’t something that exudes revolutionary sentiment- having been founded on such non-revolutionary principles as “Peace, Order and Good Governance” which have stood in stark contrast to the significantly more inspiring “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” enshrined in the founding documents of our southern cousins.

Even our founding 1867 document (drafted over a champagne fueled month of hedonism in 1864) explicitly calls out the purpose of confederation not as a means of “supporting the general welfare” as was the case of the USA’s constitution in 1787, but rather “to promote the interests of the British Empire”. But here it is.

Countless thousands of patriots have driven across the country to bunker down in Ottawa in peace and high festive spirits which I had to see with my own eyes to believe demanding something so simple and un-tainted by ideology: freedom to work, provide for families and a respect for basic rights as laid out in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (a 1982 upgrade to the embarrassingly oligarchical British North America Act of 1867). Mainstream media and political hacks have been working overtime to paint the Freedom convoy that converged on Ottawa on January 29 as an “insurrectionist movement” full of “white supremacists”, “Russian stooges”, and “Nazis” out to “overthrow the government”.

Even the Bank of England’s former governor (and World Economic Forum Trustee) Mark Carney chimed in on February 7 stating that “this is sedition” and that “those who are still helping to extend this occupation must be identified and punished to the full force of the law”. Carney, the perennial financial darling of Goldman Sachs and the City of London (and Prime Ministerial hopeful) called for a targeting of all those who donated money to this domestic terror operation. Faced with an organic civil rights movement of blue-collar truckers, farmers and tens of thousands of supporters who have convened on Canada’s capital to demand a restoration of their basic freedoms, the current Liberal government has failed to show even an ounce of humanity or capacity to negotiate.

This shouldn’t be a surprise for those who have seen the hypocrisy of neo-liberal “rules-based” order ideologues in action over the past few years who are quick to celebrate the “liberty” of citizens of Ukraine, Hong Kong, or Xinjiang when the outcome benefits the geopolitical aims of detached technocrats hungry for global hegemony.

Where Is The Uprising? (Denninger)

Let’s take a moment and give props to the Canadian truckers who got their government’s and fellow Canadians’ attention. Good for them. They did something, along with those who walked fuel and food to them to keep the protest going. Great use of logistics and tactics, my hat is off to you! Truckers are pureblood allies. There is no argument that the truckers’ actions had an effect on the war. They arrived and fought on the battlefield. The government announced a crack down, so we’ll see how it plays out over the next few days. Contrast with the US: no widespread parking lots, everyone is still in trudge along to get along mode. There’s low level disruptions (keep vacationing in place!) in daily life, most notably in the supply chain. Even fat bitch Karens are noticing higher grocery prices and holes in shelves. But so far, pretty quiet.

Boston, New York City, and Minneapolis allowed vaxports. Vaxports are the equivalent of sucking government cock after it ****s you in the ass. Enjoy the taste of your own ****. The pure bloods haven’t burned the cities to the ground in a mostly peaceful protest. Why is that? What will it take to set things off? I don’t know. There’s two ways this ends: either 1% decides they’ve had enough, or we will be slowly boiled until we are grateful daddy government allowed us to exist in our own homes without a mask on Tuesdays. No, that’s not impossible. Over the past two years, as a people, we’ve demonstrated we will trade our humanity for safety. Tard Karen believes a magic filthy rag wards off a deadly plague. Others wear one for work so they have a place to live. Still others won’t rock the boat to remain part of their group.

[..] The plan isn’t perfect. The leader, the goals, or the tactics don’t align perfectly with yours. Oh no, but if it was, boy howdy, would you get off the couch and join them. This line of thought requires ignoring that the un-pure army produces desired results. One day, when the right allies appear, you’ll join them. One day… They aren’t doing it right. Sadly, an army already on the field is unlikely to recognize you as their Five Star General. If their actions work, support their efforts or shut the **** up and stay on the couch. Don’t derail a functioning battle plan. Those who disrupt working tactics have a special name: traitors. Another set of excuses is due to mindset. Mindset determines success or failure as much as tactics and logistics. Mindset is the result of life experience and it will not change overnight, if at all.

However, we deserve some leniency for not developing a killer, win-or-die mindset. Life hasn’t been trying to actively kill us for long enough soybois and girldicks require a safe space when someone uses the wrong pronoun. On the other hand, peace and ease allowed modern Western Civilization to flourish. But there is one item from pop culture that has destroyed mindset development so much, some evil mastermind is kicking himself for not inventing it: the montage. Yes, the montage. What does a montage imply? It only takes 3:30 to go from zero to hero. Any skill can be mastered in the time it takes to listen to the movie’s hit song. No failure, no missteps, no tangents where a single slice of the skill is drilled and drilled until practice is complete hell. None of that. According to the montage, skills are for special, gifted people only. They are learned by those special people quickly and easily. If someone isn’t an expert instantly, they never will be.

Who cares what Bill Gates says?

Bill Gates: Natural Infection Doing “A Better Job” Of Bolstering Immunity (ZH)

Speaking on Friday during the Munich Security Conference, Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder and chairman, discussed how the threat posed by the COVID pandemic had “dramatically lowered”…while making a startling admission: that natural infection and spread was more effective at bolstering human immunity than vaccines. Speaking to CNBC’s Hadley Gamble during the annual conference in Germany, Gates, the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, told the audience that a potential new pandemic would likely stem from a different pathogen than that belonging to the coronavirus family (maybe Ebola, perhaps?). But he added that advances in medical technology should help the world do a better job of fighting it – if investments are made now.

“We’ll have another pandemic. It will be a different pathogen next time,” Gates said. Two years into the coronavirus pandemic, Gates said the worst effects have faded as huge swathes of the global population have gained some level of immunity. Its severity has also waned with the latest omicron variant. Amazingly, after years of denial, Gates seemed to acknowledge – albeit in a roundabout way – that the infectiousness of the omicron variant had played the key role in boosting human immunity to SARS-CoV-2.


According to Gates, it’s already “too late” to reach the WHO’s goal to vaccinate 70% of the global population by mid-2022. Currently 61.9% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine) but that’s okay, however, Gates said, as in many places, the virus itself, which creates a level of immunity, and has “done a better job of getting out to the world population than we have with vaccines.” “The chance of severe disease, which is mainly associated with being elderly and having obesity or diabetes, those risks are now dramatically reduced because of that infection exposure,” he said.

“Or maybe you are like some Ukrainians, including your president, who thinks this invasion is a figment of Biden’s imagination.”

Biden Says He’s Convinced Putin Has Decided to Invade (Lauria)

President Joe Biden said Friday he’s convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine in the coming days and that Russia would fail to create a new system in Europe that takes its security into account. “As of this moment I’m convinced he has made the decision” to invade, Biden told a reporter in response to a question at a White House press briefing. Asked how he knows this, Biden said, “We have a significant intelligence capability.” Biden also flatly asserted that the capital, Kiev, would be attacked: “Russian troops currently have Ukraine surrounded. We have reason to believe Russian forces are planning and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, in the coming days. We believe they will target the capital Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people.”

If such a horrific scenario were true, wouldn’t Washington have sent its military to defend its ally? That the U.S. hasn’t, undercuts the credibility of U.S. intelligence. “We also will not send troops in to fight in Ukraine, but we will continue to support the Ukrainian people,” he said, apparently as they are being slaughtered in their beds by Russian bombs — the only conclusion that can be drawn. For Biden, supporting the Ukrainian people translates into $650 million spent by the U.S. in the past year to “bolster Ukraine’s defenses,” and U.S. arms manufacturers’ profits. Even with all this hardware, the Ukrainian military is no match for Russia’s, as the U.S. would be.

“The United States and its allies and partners will support the Ukrainian people,” Biden said. “We will hold Russia accountable for its actions. … The entire free world is united” against Russia and sanctions will be imposed once this invasion happens. If you were Ukrainian, living in Kiev, how would you feel if the president of the United States just said he’s convinced your city will be bombed by a major military power in days and all he’ll do for you is punish your attackers by hitting their finances? Or maybe you are like some Ukrainians, including your president, who thinks this invasion is a figment of Biden’s imagination.

Planned.

Putin To Personally Oversee Massive Nuclear Drill On Saturday (ZH)

The Russian military confirmed on Friday that it will move up nuclear weapons exercises which had been previously scheduled to take place later the year, as a warning to the West as the Ukraine crisis grows hotter. Typically the drills take place in the fall, but will now be part of the current climate of ‘muscle flexing’ as the region remains on the brink. The massive drills of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces will take place Saturday, and President Putin will directly oversee it, according to the defense ministry. There were signs earlier in February that the drills would be moved up in time, as the FT wrote: “Russia generally holds its annual nuclear exercises — which involve testing intercontinental ballistic missiles from land, sea and air — in the fall. But the US believes Putin has decided to hold them earlier this year as a show of strength.”

Kremlin spokesman Dimitry Peskov notified allies as well as Western countries about the Saturday drills in a Friday statement, saying it should be no cause for concern. Likely the maneuvers will center on the Black Sea Fleet out of the Crimean Peninsula, which will be taken by Ukraine and NATO to be highly provocative. A senior Biden administration official responded to the announcement that it was definitely “escalatory”. “Practice launches of ballistic missiles are part of regular training,” Peskov said. “They are preceded by a series of notices to other nations via different channels.”

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who has issued an open invitation for Russia to host deployable nukes on Belarusian soil amid the Ukraine standoff, has been personally invited to watch the nuclear drills with Putin. According to Congressional testimony from last week by Joint Chiefs chairman General Mark Milley and director of national intelligence Avril Haines, the Pentagon believes the exercises are a “show of force” aimed at both Ukraine and its Western backers in NATO. Analyst Rebeccah Heinrichs with the hawkish D.C. think tank Hudson Institute described that given Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, “It would be an extremely provocative and harbinger of messages if they did it concurrently with an invasion.”

“As for the West, looking back at its self-destructive errors in recent years, one might consider Putin something of a prophet.”

Putin Warned The West, But The West Didn’t Listen (RT)

[..] it’s worth noting what a Russian invasion of Ukraine would actually mean. For the past 15 years, ever since the Munich speech, Russian officials have been arguing against the unilateral use of force and demanding a UN-centered security system founded on international law. Were we to wake up one day and find that Russian tanks were rolling towards Kiev without any kind of excuse, it would amount to a complete abandonment of 15 years of argumentation as well as a negation of the entire legal/moral position built up by the Russian Federation in that period, a position reinforced just this month in the Putin/Xi statement. It would also be very odd. For you can hardly achieve the objective of a multipolar world based on the principles of UN supremacy and international law by means of a massive breach of those very same principles.


It would be extraordinarily self-defeating. A certain skepticism about the allegedly “imminent” Russian invasion of Ukraine is therefore due. It’s not impossible, but one has to wonder why, after so many years of consistency, Putin would suddenly change his position in such a drastic way. As for the West, looking back at its self-destructive errors in recent years, one might consider Putin something of a prophet. But if so, it’s a prophet in the guise of the Trojan princess Cassandra who was fated to be always right but never believed. Rather than taking heed of Putin’s warning, Western leaders have bludgeoned onwards, toppling Colonel Gaddafi in Libya, aiding rebels in Syria, attempting (and failing at) regime change in Venezuela, fighting and losing against the Taliban, sanctioning Iran, supporting revolution in Ukraine, and so on. It has not turned out well. We can’t say we weren’t warned.

    Someone mentioned Orlov being contemptible in person. I’ve met James Kunstler several times in person, including a visit to his home in Upstate NY to interview him for a blog I was doing a few years back. He has always been cordial and very generous with his time in each situation.

    Although I do not pretend to know him or his motivations, Kunstler does not strike me as someone who is overcalculating about what he writes, aside perhaps from an occasional peak at a thesaurus. My guess it that he is not fully convinced that the Pandemic was a finely orchestrated Plandemic. He may also be thinking that ultimately, there will be no way to prove it–or at least to convince the average Western Citizen that it was. He is likely also gunshy after going all in on the idea that the last election was stolen AND that this would soon be revealed.

    My thought is that there are too many entities and persons with too many of their own plans to have this be the result of any great meeting of the twisted power-obsessed minds behind the scenes. Which of course does not mean that outcomes are going to be any better. I find it chilling that software engineer Bill Gates assures us that the next pandemic will not be a SAR Covid strain. Sheesh, it was practically a hundred years between pandemics fi you don’t count the Hong Kong flu, and now we need to expect one the next time Fauci sneezes?

    Well yeah.

    There is the trope about the monkeys with the typewriter; at some point during eternity, they will bang out Shakespeare by chance. When you have scientists with DNA splicing equipment in a lab full of viruses, we won’t have to wait an eternity for them to cook up a tragedy even Shakespeare could not imagine–the hubris alone is unfathomable. But of course we needn’t worry, because they are developing the vaccine for it at the same time….

    I think we need to continue to phase out the covid stuff and put the financial fiasco front and center once again. I don’t pretend to understand high finance, but I do understand printing trillions with no way to remotely match that with real goods and services. I thought I might still have a year or two to figure out what to do with my under six figures life savings, but now I’m thinking I’d better grab a piece of land or build a tiny house on a trailer asap. I’m limited because I have part time custondy of my 12-year old and that is my top priority, so I can’t wander off just yet.

    Oroboros is one cool dude.

    His German acquaintance, on the other hand, speaks like a true member of the “worthless class”    (formerly known as the managerial executive class, and before that   (and before Karl Marx , too) as the bourgeoises .  They make nothing, they own nothing and they command nothing . . .  but they delusionally believe that they do all three.   When push comes to shove they are nowhere to be found.  They do not fight and they do not run.  They cower and pretend to be invisible.  Windbags.  Safely ignored or, alternately, used for photo opportunities or dunnage.    When times are good they pretend to be merchants,  but in truth they are not .  Merchants add value by moving valuables from one home to another in exchange for a reasonable fee. The worthless class merely “inserts” itself into that arrangement as money sucking extortionist “gatekeepers” who gum up and slow down the actual production supply chains while adding NOTHING of value.  When times are good they pretend to be the Middle Class, but they aren’t really that, either.  A true Middle Class deftly interfaces between the Elites and the  Producers, smoothing the relationship so that affairs can more or less function beneficially to most parties.  Middle Classes are dependably sensible because their position depends upon the workability of the sensible systems they build .  The worthless class can’t  do that. They’re too lazy and stupid to actually KNOW how anything actually works.  All they have time or skill for is parroting nonsense that they THINK sounds like actual Middle Class sensibility . . . when it isn’t sensible at all. It’s just repetition of what some other “worthless class” asshole was parroting from an even dumber source. In other words,  just a bunch of “Woke” virtue signalling bullshiters and posers with good looks or Daddy’s money.

    “Sheesh, it was practically a hundred years between pandemics fi you don’t count the Hong Kong flu, and now we need to expect one the next time Fauci sneezes?”

    Well that’s true, aside from Fauci’s sneeze, despite Gates being involved. Billions more people moving everywhere fast, swapping and shipping microbes everywhere every which way at once.

    As I’ve recently mentioned, I’ve become a believe in a Plandemic. That said, I don’t put much stock in belief. It’s where a person rests comfortably the stressful antagonisms of competing data so he can form them into patterns congruent with his current biases. And I don’t see anything useful I can do with this data. If I were Kunstler and had become convinced, as I am now, it is most likely a plandemic, I’d keep my mouth quiet a la Kunstler: he mentions the concept, doesn’t ridicule it as tinfoil nonsense, p[provides data that supports the concept while not claiming that it proves the concept, and let’s people think for themselves.

    That is EXACTLY what I’d do if I had Kunstler’s audience (I already have a style somewhat similar to his, just not as bent on denunciatory snark as his. I’m thinking that denunciatory snark really sells well.

    Whatever the cause and result, tptb won’t fix it, we’re on our own, so apparently nothing critical has changed.

    Enough with the putting words in my mouth, Boz. Just stop it ! I have never said and I have never implied that Kunstler was a “traitor”. Those words and that thought are YOURS, buster, Not mine.

    I did say, and I will say again, that he is being COWARDLY for IMPLYING that there “May not be” a true global conspiracy in the good old fashioned legal sense of the word . . . when he has acknowledged that the evidence of just that is mounting higher higher. He even hinted that he was about to do some “big reveal”. Alright, then, I call him out to just reveal it or shut the fuck up.

    Just because I read and admire James Howard Kunstler does not oblige me to cut the bastard one inch of slack when he tries throwing a knuckle ball.

    On, from top post. https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/18/biden-says-hes-convinced-putin-has-decided-to-invade/

    It appears that the US Embassy has quit Kiev and moved everything to Lviv, the CIA has removed its personnel as well, and France, the Netherlands, and Germany have reduced their staff in Kiev but haven’t closed their embassies. Aussies have all left K. as well.

    Have also read / heard that Russia is evacuating Donbass citizens (many of whom carry Russian passports) to Russia, but have found no confirmation.

    The US has called for US citizens to leave the country.

    Oligarchs have left Kiev in their private planes or private charters (link.) Like preparation for war, imminent invasion. .hysteria!

    Taking for granted that Russia has no intention of entering Ukraine, it will only provide covert support for the DLPR (Donbass) as it has been doing since the Maidan.

    What kind, or level, of provocation would push Russia to invade the Donbass (it would never go further geographically)? Idk.

    After all this hype, the event would have to staggering, and even then, I reckon Russia might not move an inch.

    Pushing Russia to do so would be counter-productive for Ukraine and its ‘W’ sponsors, backers, as Ukr. forces would be decimated, it would achieve nothing except a justification to scream about Russia, as it \then/ would have *occupied and annexed the Donbass* — that is not Realpolitik. (Not that anyone cares about Ukrainians, they are pawns.)

    So what’s up?

    Is this all a sorta hoax, alarmist theatre, that will allow Biden and Bojo (with the Eurotrash bleating along) to claim that their strong stance caused Russia to BACK DOWN, thereby avoiding the Apocalypse?

    (Invent a threat, pretend to have prevented it being carried out, brag about what you accomplished.)

    Is there a plan for some kind of devastating ‘terrorist’ attack in Kiev to be blamed on the Russians? (The Europeans don’t believe this, see their half-measures.) Then what? War with Russia? I don’t think so.

    An updated version of Russia! Russia! Russia! whose only aim is to induce fears, feed the MIC, the MSM, some Corps, create an external enemy, convince ppl they must obey their masters, the current Pols / Oligarchs, as DANGER! is acute; distract the public away from other matters, and generally create a lot of smoke, with no specific geo-political aims?

    After all, when one uses fake scare tactics and great result aren’t forthcoming one has to *up the ante*, from mild (e.g. Litnivenko to Skripal Novichok) to the progressively more deathly…

    What other scenarios, interpretations? …

    Lastly, are we seeing the total breakdown of the USA/allies (others adhering thru fear or reprisals, violence, breakdowns of essentials, such as shipping), just inventing stuff?

    The breaking down, shattering, of the delusion of *Man controls Nature* (see Covid, both its creation and the implemented ‘control’ strategies), and the Rovian *Narratives define Reality* biting the dust?

    Obviously so. I speak English.

    “Turncoat comes from the ancient practice of wearing a badge or pin on one’s coat signifying the party or leader you supported. By “turning your coat” you quite literally hid your allegiance to others.”

    Mr. Kunstler, while espousing allegiance to his readers, suggests to those readers that the overwhelmingly documented global conspiracy to kill them is “maybe” NOT a not a global conspiracy to kill them, and “maybe” doesn’t exist at all. Death at the hands of a conspiratorial , intentional, carefully planned genocide is, you must admit, a serious consequence. So Kunstler’s abdication of allegiance is a serious matter.

    THAT is a turncoat.

    Thanks, Doctor D., for that Guardian article. What a surprise! It actually addresses major concerns and collections of evidence! A reversal indeed.

    As others are asking, where may this trend be heading? I feel that the trend in the Anglosphere and a number of European nations towards de-democratisation will not stop. We’re in for a period of fascistic rule, and can only hope that it will burn itself out when people learn that fascism will not save us from ourselves any more than any other political -ism.

    Meanwhile the gyrations in the financial world seem to be growing larger. How long before the spinning top falls over? I’m not looking forward to that, but then, I don’t want the old, destructive system to continue either.

    I don’t mean to out The One Who Deflates, but I think he writes for The Atlantic when not making artisanal PSAs here on TAE:
    COVID is likely to remain a leading killer for a while, and some academics have suggested that pandemics end only when the public stops caring. But we shouldn’t forget the most important reason that the coronavirus isn’t like the flu: We’ve never had vaccines this effective in the midst of prior influenza outbreaks, which means we didn’t have a simple, clear approach to saving quite so many lives. Compassionate conversations, community outreach, insurance surcharges, even mandates—I’ll take them all. Now is not the time to quit.

    He is still enthralled with the miracle of modern science: The COVID vaccines are, without exaggeration, among the safest and most effective therapies in all of modern medicine.

    He also still gives “Joe Biden” props: President Joe Biden said in January that “this continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” and vaccine holdouts are indeed prolonging our crisis. The data suggest that most of the unvaccinated hold that status voluntarily at this point. Emphasis on voluntarily not mine. Can you imagine, a Voluntary choice of whether to take a drug?!
    The piece equates vaccine holdouts with smokers:America’s unvaccinated and current-smoker populations seem to match up rather well: Right now, the CDC pegs them at 13 percent and 14 percent of all U.S. adults, respectively, and both groups are likely to be poorer and less educated.

    The Russians have more territory then they could ever want, it’s the largest land mass country in the world.

    They will never need to enter Ukrainian territory.

    Just evacuate Russians from the Donbass and Lugansk

    After that territory will be empty and the Minsk accords say the Ukrainians can not occupy it either. hahaha!

    If they do, they not only break Minsk but the Russian, without have to set foot in it will shell the Ukronazis into a pink mist.

    By evacuating the Donbass and Lugansk, they turn it into a buffer zone using the Minsk accords, and just wait until the Ukraine itself, as a nation state, disintegrates into a failed state, which it’s almost there.

    Big Hat, No Cattle
    Randy Newman

    Since I was a child
    I’ve tried to be what I am not
    I’ve lied and I’ve enjoyed it all my life
    I lied to my dear mother
    To my sisters and my brother
    And now I’m lying to my children and my wife

    Big Hat, no cattle
    Big head, no brain
    Big snake, no rattle
    I forever remain
    Big hat, no cattle
    I knew from the start
    Big boat, no paddle
    Big belly, no heart

    Can’t remember why I do it
    Oh, maybe I can
    An honest man these days is hard to find
    I only know we’re living in an unforgiving land
    And a little lie can buy some real big peace of mind
    Oftimes I have wondered what might I have become
    Had I but buckled down and really tried
    But when it came down to the wire
    I called my family to my side
    Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied

    Big hat, no cattle
    Big shoes, well you know
    Big horse, no saddle
    He goes wherever I go
    Big hat, no cattle
    Right from the start
    Big guns, no battle
    Big belly, no heart

    When it came down to the wire
    I called my little family to my side
    Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied
    Lied, lied, lied

    Big hat, no cattle
    Big head, no brain
    Big snake, no rattle
    I forever remain
    Big hat, no cattle

    @boscohorowitz
    (included here just because he’s got it coming)

    Actually, that’s not quite true. The only thing that is the SAME as what I said is, literally, EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT SAID, and what I SAID was the Kunstler is ” a turncoat schmuck.”

    Now if you or Boz, or anyone else wants to say that I’m a poophead for calling Kunstler a turncoat schmuck, then I will plead guilty to the charge of calling him a turncoat schmuck . I stated my reasons for calling him a turncoat schmuck clearly enough, and stand by them.

    There IS a global conspiracy to commit genocide, so Kunstler saying that he isn’t so sure such a thing even exists makes him . . . in my unhumbled opinion , a turncoat schmuck.

    You wanna use a different word ? (which obviously is DIFFERENT, with nuances and connotations all its own) then be my guest. Just don’t ascribe the words to me. Let’s agree that you get to choose your words, and I get to choose mine.

    And by the way, did I mention that someone who implies that maybe there is NOT a global conspiracy to commit genocide followed by slavery, is a turncoat schmuck ?

    @ Dr D – Love most of what you say, and enjoy the hyperbole. However, “reality check”:
    “US Western Megadrought Worst in 1,200 Years, Scientist Warn”
    I live and vacation in the US West — haven’t left for 20 years now — and except for 18 months in my 20s, my residence has always been in Colorado, California, Utah, or Arizona. It doesn’t matter whether or not the low rainfall is labeled a “megadrought” or normal drought, a 1200 year event, or something more common. It doesn’t matter whether we blame it on too much oil burned, too many farting cows, sun spots, or chemtrails or other forms of weather manipulation. It doesn’t matter whether the voices raising alarm are “scientists,” government bureaucrats, environmentalists, or farmers. The reservoirs are low. The ability to generate hydropower is being affected. The rapids for white water rafting companies are not as scary. The water supporting millions of people and agriculture — and Arizona golf courses — is dwindling. This problem is huge, and needs to be addressed. Ignoring the problem because the messengers are suspect or corrupt and because they use apparent hyperbole in their messaging (I.e. “megadrought,” “1200,”) is unhelpful.

    @Orobros re : the Left has a pedophilia problem

    Indeed they do, and I think that category of criminal activity is the best entry point for taking them down. Those of us who’ve been delving into the cabal’s interlocking crime networks for a LONG time have long known that ALL of the criminal networks interconnect and mutually support, (my first real world encounter was when our tiny cohort of virginal investigators ACCIDENTALLY opened the MK Ultra can of maggots in 1973 . . . and were nearly annihilated for it).

    There are as many sub-networks as there are wealth/power generating institutions sending crime down to the people and money up to the perpetrators. But the network with the greatest vulnerability to successful prosecution is pedophilia related. It links them all together and it’s MUCH harder for the press to ignore or hide on page 7.

    So, yeah! This is very good place to focus the assault, and to save a lot of kids in the process.
