“..Trump’s flaw is that excessive tariffs and an economic war on China will severely disrupt supply chains to the extent it will undermine the US economy..”

• Goodbye To The Liberal Elites (Diesen)

“Make America Great Again” is likely a reference to somewhere around 1973, when the US peaked – it’s since been in decline. Under the neoliberal consensus, society became an appendage to the market and politicians became unable to deliver the changes demanded by the public. The political left could not redistribute wealth, and the political right could not defend traditional values and communities. Globalization gave birth to a political class loyal to international capital without national loyalties, and accountability to the public disappeared. Globalization often contradicts democracy, and there is a growing division between illiberal democracy versus undemocratic liberalism.

A key lesson from the American System in the early 19th century was that industrialization and subsequent economic sovereignty is a necessity for national sovereignty. Tariffs and temporary subsidies are important tools for infant industries to develop maturity, and fair trade is thus often preferable to free trade. Trump’s tariffs to re-industrialize and advance technological sovereignty are noble ambitions that even the Biden administration attempted to emulate. However, Trump’s flaw is that excessive tariffs and an economic war on China will severely disrupt supply chains to the extent it will undermine the US economy. The excesses of Trump’s tariffs and economic coercion derive from the effort to break China and restore US global primacy. If the US can accept a more modest role in the international system as one among many great powers, the president elect could embrace a more moderate economic nationalism that would have a greater prospect of succeeding.

Trump’s vice president-elect, JD Vance, correctly noted the self-defeating moralizing of the US: “We have built a foreign policy of hectoring and moralizing and lecturing countries that don’t want anything to do with it. The Chinese have a foreign policy of building roads and bridges and feeding poor people.” It is a good time for pragmatism to triumph over ideology. Critics of Trump are correct to point out the paradox of a billionaire claiming to represent the people against a detached globalized elite. Sitting in flashy buildings with his name on the side in large golden letters, Trump has nonetheless taken the role of representing American workers by calling for re-industrialization. Raised in the excesses and hedonism of America’s cultural elites, Trump calls for preserving America’s traditional values and culture. Is Trump a savior? Probably not.

But policies are more important than personalities, and Trump is kicking open a door that was seemingly closed by liberal ideology. Trump’s appeal to end the forever wars resulted in invaluable support from former Democrats such as Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk. The liberal crusades over the past three decades have fueled unsustainable debt. Of course, they financed the deep state (the blob), but they alienated the US across the world, and incentivized the other great powers to collectively balance Washington. The forever wars were costly mistakes that never end well, yet the US could absorb these costs during the unipolar era in the absence of any real opponents. In a multipolar system, America must scale back its military adventurism and learn how to prioritize foreign policy objectives.

“Trump is a deal-maker… a family man concerned about children and grandchildren. He’s not personally interested in seeing the US expand into war, he’s not a globalist in that way..”

• Trump Must End Wars, Focus On Problems At Home – Dennis Kucinich (RT)

US president-elect Donald Trump will have his hands full fixing the mess in foreign and domestic policy left by incumbent leader Joe Biden’s administration, according to Dennis Kucinich, two-time Democratic presidential candidate and retired eight-term US congressman. In an interview with Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi broadcast on RT on Saturday, Kucinich said that the success of Trump’s presidency will depend on his ability to shift the focus of US politics from the “globalist aspirations of the State Department” to problems at home. The veteran politician welcomed Trump’s victory over Democrat Kamala Harris in this week’s election, saying that it represents a “historic shift” in US politics towards “populism.”

“[The US] has come through a very dark period where the government put this country to the edge of World War III, and people don’t want that,” Kucinich stated, noting that ordinary Americans worry about simple things like paying bills and generally “making ends meet,” which he called “very practical aspirations they have in common with people around the world.” He said Trump’s presidency “will depend on not getting further involved in foreign entanglements.” “This economy is shaking, the dollar is not in the same position it was in four years ago… the previous administration has not been successful in reviving the economy with all this money for Wall Street but not enough for main street,” he stated. Kucinich added that this happened “precisely” because the Biden administration poured billions into wars “that are not necessary.”

There’s a lot of work Trump will need to do, he is going to be faced with some serious decisions about scaling back the US position in Europe and the Middle East and to try to find a way that we can move past the events that the Biden administration embroiled America in. Kucinich noted that he expects Trump to be able to extricate the US from global conflicts through his “deal-making finesse.” “Trump is a deal-maker… a family man concerned about children and grandchildren. He’s not personally interested in seeing the US expand into war, he’s not a globalist in that way,” he stated. Kucinich also suggested that Trump would be wise to lead the US towards cooperation with the “new world” that is “taking shape in response to disastrous sanctions and wars,” citing BRICS as one of the alignments that the US should consider working with.

“Russia’s military victory in Ukraine is as assured as it is righteous and legally correct. Moscow will set its own terms and is not looking for U.S. approval under Trump or anyone else.”

• Trump’s Election Victory Gives Cautious Optimism For Peace In Ukraine (SCF)

As the dust settles after a tumultuous U.S. presidential election, the magnitude of Donald Trump’s victory becomes clearer. His decisive win to become the 47th president of the American Republic is an emphatic popular mandate for change. This could enable Trump to bring the disastrous U.S.-led proxy war in Ukraine against Russia to a peaceful end, as Francis Boyle, a respected American professor of international law, remarked this week. Going into the election, the stakes could not have been higher. A continuation of the nearly three-year-old conflict – as would have happened if the Democrats had remained in power – was potentially leading to World War Three and a nuclear conflagration. Trump had starkly warned of that imminent danger. A central part of his election platform was a pledge to push for a diplomatic resolution.

At 78, Donald J Trump becomes the only second president in U.S. history to win two non-consecutive terms. The last figure to do that was Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, in 1892, as noted by Martin Sieff, a seasoned observer of American elections. What makes Trump’s political comeback so astonishing is the defiance of the establishment and the mainstream media, which for the most part was staunchly supporting his rival, Kamala Harris. “Every dirty trick, lie and scare tactic in the history of American politics – which is filled with them – was used against him. They all failed,” wrote Sieff this week. The pre-election polls, right up to voting day on November 5, weren’t even close, as it turned out. Trump swept the electoral map, taking even the supposedly battleground states, to win by more than 4 million popular votes. He also stormed past the crucial threshold of 270 to win over 300 electoral college votes.

The key factor for his triumph was the economy which Trump tapped into. Bound up in the economic tribulations for ordinary Americans is the militarism and warmongering that the Democrats have become associated with. The callous lack of priority to address pressing social and economic needs of poor, working Americans that the Biden administration and his vice president Kamala Harris had displayed over the past four years was matched by their license to fund the war in Ukraine to the tune of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars.

There was also the factor of the Biden administration’s appalling complicity in the Israeli genocide in Gaza over the past year. Millions of Muslim, Arab and young voters who would normally vote Democrat were outraged and disgusted. They refused to give Harris their votes. Trump is no friend of the Palestinian people, but at least he could not be accused of complicity in genocide the way Biden and Harris indelibly are. Not only does Trump win the White House decisively, his Republican Party also took back control of the Senate and looks like maintaining its majority in the House of Representatives. With that dominance in the executive and legislative branches of government, the second Trump administration will be able to implement his program without impediment. His previous administration (2016-2020) was hampered by Democrats and the corporate-controlled media over spurious claims about “Russia collusion”. That propaganda farce is obsolete.

The authority of Trump’s political position makes it propitious for him to follow through on his election pledge to end the conflict in Ukraine. Trump has boasted that he can end the war in 24 hours. That is typical bluster from the former real estate magnate. The signs are that Russia has its own clear-sighted objectives and will not be swayed from achieving them. Russia is done with Western duplicity. It is determined to defeat the Kiev NeoNazi regime, to retain its newly regained historic territories, and to ensure whatever is left of the rump Ukrainian state that it will never join the NATO military alliance. Russia’s military victory in Ukraine is as assured as it is righteous and legally correct. Moscow will set its own terms and is not looking for U.S. approval under Trump or anyone else.

What Trump can do to expedite the end of the bloodshed and establish peace is to immediately sever the reckless military aid to the Kiev regime. Trump’s “America First” manifesto suggests that is what he will do. By closing down the war racket that was driven by the Biden administration, the conflict will come to a much-needed prompt end. This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump on his election and said that Moscow was open for reasonable dialogue. But it seems patent that the dialogue will be about accepting the eminently reasonable conditions that Russia had always offered – no NATO expansion into Ukraine and recognition of the principle of indivisible security for all.

“..the country is now “moving in the direction – knowing that Trump has won – of accepting that negotiations are a reality.”

• Trump Seeking ‘Major Changes’ To US Foreign Policy – Bloomberg (RT)

US President-elect Donald Trump is wasting no time in his push to revamp Washington’s policies on Ukraine, even though his inauguration is still weeks away, Bloomberg reported on Friday. One unnamed former Trump administration official told the agency that the Republican will “have an immediate head start thanks to the perception that he will be tougher than his predecessor.” He added that some US adversaries could change their behavior without waiting for the president-elect to be sworn in, as they might be “deterred by the threat of US retaliation,” while others could try “to exploit their remaining leverage before President Joe Biden leaves office.” According to Bloomberg, the shift in the wind is “felt most acutely in Ukraine,” given that Trump has promised to settle the conflict within 24 hours if elected, even before his inauguration.

The president-elect and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky have already had a phone call, with X owner Elon Musk – a Trump ally who has advocated for Kiev to cede territory to Russia to end the conflict – also reportedly joining in. Shelby Magid, the deputy director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, told Bloomberg that Trump’s victory has changed Ukraine’s attitude toward talks. She added that the country is now “moving in the direction – knowing that Trump has won – of accepting that negotiations are a reality.” The transition period is often turbulent in the US, the article added, noting that this has been exacerbated by Trump’s apparent intention to change US policy. According to Bloomberg, this has “handcuffed the Biden administration,” as many US allies had been reluctant to take action before they were sure who would be the next US president.

As for a possible settlement of the Ukraine conflict, the Wall Street Journal reported that one of the plans under consideration includes Kiev dropping its ambitions to join NATO in the near future and freezing the conflict along the current front line. While Zelensky has ruled out any concessions to Russia, including “trading” territory, Ukrainian media reports suggested that he might be powerless to resist US pressure if Trump decides that Kiev must make a peace deal with Russia. Moscow has ruled out a freezing of the conflict, insisting that all of the goals of the military operation – including Ukrainian neutrality, demilitarization, and denazification – must be achieved. Nevertheless, Russia has signaled that it is open to talks aimed at resolving the crisis.

• Biden Allows Deployment Of US Military ‘Contractors’ To Ukraine – Media (RT)

The administration of outgoing President Joe Biden has lifted a de facto ban on deploying US defense contractors to Ukraine to repair American-made armaments, Reuters and CNN reported on Friday, citing anonymous Pentagon officials. This reversal of previous US policy comes as Donald Trump, who has been skeptical of providing funding and military assistance to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, secured his second term in the White House. While it is unclear whether Trump would have continued the prior policy, he has promised not to put American lives at risk and to rapidly conclude the conflict once in office again. The potential American presence on the ground will be “small” and located “far” from the front lines, and they are not expected to engage in combat, Reuters wrote on Friday, citing an anonymous US official.

As the US and its NATO partners have provided Kiev with increasingly sophisticated American-made armaments, such as F-16 fighter jets and Patriot air defense systems, restrictions have slowed repairs and proven increasingly challenging. Much of the equipment has been damaged beyond repair by Kiev’s own specialists. The policy change aligns the Pentagon more closely with the US State Department and USAID, which already have contractors in Ukraine, according to another official. “These contractors will help the Ukrainian Armed Forces rapidly repair and maintain US-provided equipment as needed so it can quickly return to the front lines,” CNN wrote on Friday, citing a defense official. Specifically, F-16 jets and Patriot batteries “require specific technical expertise to maintain,” they said.

Allowing US contractors to work in Ukraine will provide a faster alternative to the current method of transporting equipment to NATO countries such as Poland and Romania for repairs, CNN noted. Meanwhile, the risks of being killed by Russian strikes will fall on the companies bidding for the Pentagon contracts. “Each US contractor, organization, or company will be responsible for the safety and security of their employees and will be required to include risk mitigation plans as part of their bids,” CNN cited a defense official as saying.

Russian President Vladimir Putin previously stated that Moscow is aware of the “direct involvement of NATO troops in this conflict.” He pointed out that several high-tech systems the US and its allies have provided to Kiev, such as ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles, require the involvement of Western officers to operate them. The Russian Defense Ministry regularly reports airstrikes on repair facilities in Ukraine. This week alone, the Russian military conducted at least 38 strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial complex facilities, as well as the energy and military infrastructure supporting them, according to the latest report on Friday.

“They will keep fighting, banking on a return to power in two or four years when they can continue their project to transform America. They are masters of the long game.”

• Can Trump Tame Resistance 2.0? (J. Peder Zane)

Last Tuesday, we were all equal – one person, one vote. Against every effort by the liberal elites, a slim majority of Americans returned Donald Trump to the White House, investing him with vast authority through their 73 million votes. On Wednesday, the normal order of inequality was restored. The potent forces in government, business, media, and academia that opposed Trump by hook or crook took back up their undemocratic reins of power and began to plot how, as Kamala Harris put it in her concession speech, they “will continue to keep fighting.” This is not as bad as it sounds. America became a free and prosperous nation in large part because of the constraints our founders put on government – both in the checks and balances at the federal level and the federalism that invests states with great authority. This, along with the visionary Bill of Rights and the refusal to establish a national church, created vast opportunities for individuals and non-governmental organizations to shape our country.

This diffusion of power is a major reason why we have never come close to dictatorship. Even with the vast expansion of government since the New Deal and Great Society, there are still too many moving parts for a wannabe authoritarian to corral. As it empowers the non-governmental actors, the American system depends on an implicit set of checks and balances – both vigilance and restraint – on the behavior of the people. One clear example concerns speech. The First Amendment’s broad protections are limited by the guardrails imposed by ever-evolving community standards regarding acceptable discourse. In theory, everybody can say the n-word, but you really can’t, along with a host of slurs that once filled our newspapers. Another example involves accepting the results of elections. Even in Ronald Reagan’s 1984 landslide, about 42% of Americans did not vote for the Gipper.

Still, the losing side is expected to accept defeat graciously, to respect the authority their adversary has gained in this zero-sum game of elections, and take up the mantle of the loyal opposition. In the wake of Trump’s victory, this is another norm that conspicuous segments of the modern Democratic Party seem intent on breaking – not through a Jan. 6 episode of violence but through the legislative maneuvers, investigations, and lawfare that marked their resistance during his first term. Before the election, the legacy media was filled with largely celebratory articles about efforts to Trump-proof government in case he won. This effort is now being turbocharged with reports that President Biden aims to use the lame-duck session to thwart his successor. Governor Gavin Newsom has called a special session of the California legislature to Trump-proof state laws.

Governor Maura Healey has said Massachusetts state police will not support Trump’s mass immigration plans – a bedrock promise of his campaign, which is backed by a majority of Americans. This opposition is only the tip of a long spear of Resistance 2.0. The liberal and leftist elites in the legacy media, academia, and various other power centers have made clear that they will do everything they can, not just to oppose but to undermine and delegitimize the democratically elected president. This is not business as usual, nor is it merely an echo of Mitch McConnell’s vow in 2010 to make Obama a one-term president. It is a rejection of the compact that has long ruled American politics in which the losing side gives the winner a chance to prove them wrong.

How could they? Their unhinged claims that Trump is an authoritarian fascist are not a political ploy but a deeply held belief, cultivated over decades of Manichean indoctrination. They have used similar language to describe every Republican president since Reagan. Trump is the culmination of this uncompromising worldview. The concise paraphrase of the physicist Max Planck’s insight – that science proceeds one funeral at a time – captures what Trump is up against. Democrats and their allies are too invested in their own ideology to change. They will keep fighting, banking on a return to power in two or four years when they can continue their project to transform America. They are masters of the long game. In response, Trump and his allies must first hope that the GOP retains control of the House of Representatives – votes are still being counted. This is crucial for limiting the Democrats’ ability to kneecap the new administration with spurious congressional investigations.

More importantly, Trump must, as best he can, limit his love for battle, resist his instinct to take the bait. He should treat his opponents with the contempt they deserve, ignoring their provocations for the sake of effective governance. He should be guided by the single best line of his campaign, “My revenge will be success.” He must focus on our problems rather than his enemies. The challenges we face – especially our unsustainable debt, an economy that is not working for ordinary Americans, and a world beset by conflict – have little to do with the opinions of Democrats and the New York Times. Yes, his opponents enjoy great power, which they will brandish in an attempt to weaken and frustrate him. But if he can rise above their malice – and his own pettiness – he just might make America great again.

“I expect that Trump will be found guilty at least in some cases, and will be in jail by election day in November 2024..”

• Trump’s Triumph Sows Sorrow for Soros (Sp.)

Billionaire hedge fund shark-turned liberal ‘philanthropist’ George Soros’ financial interests and political projects may be in trouble when Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office, with tens of millions in campaign funding, smear jobs and even involvement in the Trump prosecutions failing to stop the former president from making a comeback. Bloomberg reported on Friday that Soros Fund Management plans to shut down its Hong Kong office as part of a surprise “administrative reorganization” after 14 years of operations. The move may signal preparations by the Soros family to make major changes in the way their soft power empire operates with Trump back in power. The campaign by the elder Soros and his son and heir apparent Alex to keep a Democrat in the White House has failed to pay dividends, despite the Soros’ Fund for Policy Reform’s transfer of $60 mln to Future Forward, a pro-Democrat dark money super PAC.

That’s on top of a $15 mln donation by an Open Society Foundations subsidiary in 2023. Along with money, the Soros family invested significant personal capital into the campaign against “MAGA-style Republicans” in 2024. In the spring of 2023, Alex Soros announced a dramatic scaling back of OSF’s operations in Western Europe to focus on Ukraine, Moldova, the Western Balkans, and the United States, with the effort to stop Trump becoming a top priority. George Soros first sounded the alarm over Trump’s “America First” foreign policy in 2016, when he pumped millions into Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign but failed to see his preferred candidate elected. After Trump won, Soros funded an anti-Trump “resistance movement,” manifesting itself in street protests, court challenges to his domestic agenda, secret lobbying of members of his administration, support for lawmakers promoting a neoliberal foreign policy, and even $1 mln in cash spent on the infamous debunked ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ dossier.

During Trump’s first term, Soros lobbied tech giants to regulate social media, funded a campaign to support dozens, if not hundreds, of liberal prosecutors and judges, gubernatorial candidates, congressional hopefuls, and other state and local officials in 2018 and 2020. Soros and the OSF’s noticeable shift away from meddling abroad to interfering in US domestic politics earned the ire of Trump backers, who sought to declare him a “domestic terrorist,” strip him of his assets, and expel the Hungarian-born billionaire from the country. When Joe Biden won in 2020, a Soros-linked think tank lobbied his administration to support policies favoring OSF principles in nearly two dozen different policy areas, and laid out $20 mln to create ‘grass roots organizations’ to sell Biden’s $1.2 trln infrastructure bill. In 2022, Soros channeled $125 mln into a ‘Democracy PAC’ to support anti-MAGA candidates in the midterms.

In 2023, as criminal indictments began to come down on Trump, the former president immediately linked the political “witch hunt” against him to Soros and his “hand-picked and funded” Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, to whose 2021 campaign Soros is known to have donated at least $1 mln. “I expect that Trump will be found guilty at least in some cases, and will be in jail by election day in November 2024,” Soros said in an August 2023 interview. “If I am right, he is unlikely to win the election. But if I am wrong, the US will face a constitutional crisis that is likely to bring on an economic crisis as well.” Something seems to have gone terribly wrong in the billionaire’s calculations, with Soros’ ex-money manager, Stan Druckenmiller, warning in mid-October that the markets were “very convinced” that Trump would win.

With the Soros family dealt a major blow in Tuesday’s election and set back to where it started in 2016, only time will tell whether the OSF empire will restart its anti-Trump “resistance” movement, and if the president-elect’s inner circle – steeled by over eight years of efforts to sabotage Trump and undermine his ability to govern – will tolerate Soros-style attacks on the US political system and constitutional order.

• Kamala Harris May Be Appointed Supreme Court Judge (Sp.)

US Vice President and former presidential candidate Kamala Harris may be appointed an associate justice of the US Supreme Court after the failed attempt to become the first female president of the United States, Newsweek reported, citing a Democratic member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, Bakari Sellers. Harris has a Doctor of Law degree and worked in the prosecutor’s office, the mayor’s office and for lawyers. She also served as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general between 2011 and 2017. During that period, she refused to support two initiatives banning the death penalty in the US, which gave her opponents grounds to accuse her of inconsistency. Sellers believes outgoing US President Joe Biden can persuade the current associate justice, the 70-year-old Liberal, Sonia Sotomayor, to resign, for Harris to take her place, Newsweek said.

However, the move should be made quickly, before the Trump administration enters the White House, according to the report. “I think that’s actually a very good plan. I think it’s something that should happen,” Sellers was quoted as saying by Newsweek. Sotomayor’s health is of growing concern, since she is at quite an advanced age and has type 1 diabetes, Newsweek reported, adding that some Democrats have been urging her to resign. A presidential election took place in the United States on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump, who served as the US president from 2017-2021, was declared the winner by all leading race callers and networks, namely the Associated Press, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News, and CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS from the National Election Pool consortium, as he secured enough votes in the Electoral College to win the election.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceded defeat in an address to her supporters, and US President Joe Biden congratulated Trump. The Electoral College, the group of presidential electors from the states, will vote for the candidate whom each state’s voters have chosen on December 17, and the results will be approved by Congress on January 6. The presidential inauguration will take place on January 20. Trump became the first US president since the 19th century to be elected to non-consecutive terms.

“The EU is a peace project, and the war must be stopped.”

• Zelensky ‘Afraid War Will End’ – Slovak PM Fico (RT)

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky is deeply concerned about Donald Trump’s triumph in the US presidential election, fearing it could lead to a suspension of military and financial aid from Washington, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has said. In an interview with Radio Slovensko on Saturday, Fico discussed how Trump’s policies could impact global politics and the Ukraine conflict. The prime minister claimed that when he saw Zelensky during the EU summit in Budapest, Hungary, on November 7, the Ukrainian leader appeared visibly shaken. “Have you ever seen a person who is afraid that the war will end? I saw him, and his name is Vladimir Zelensky,” Fico told the host, adding that Zelensky seemed “shocked that Trump won and that there could be a halt to aid from the United States.”

Throughout the presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to end the fighting in Ukraine within “24 hours,” without specifying how he might achieve this. Fico argued that the fighting will not stop as long as the West continues to send billions of dollars’ worth of weaponry into the conflict zone. “That means there will be some fundamental decisions regarding the war in Ukraine… He is someone who simply doesn’t like wars as such,” Fico remarked, reflecting on how Trump, as a businessman, “prefers” tariffs and sanctions to military confrontations. The Slovak leader suggested that the president-elect will take “decisive steps.” If Washington cuts financing to Kiev, the EU will need to adjust its policies and push for negotiations instead of doubling down on arming Ukraine in the hope that Russia will eventually lose. “We are again acting as a military cabinet in relation to Ukraine… Is the EU ready to assume all the costs of the war in Ukraine?” Fico wondered.

“There is still an opinion that if we keep supporting Ukraine, we will bring Russia to its knees, but that does not work,” he argued, urging the bloc to recognize that this logic is flawed. “The EU is a peace project, and the war must be stopped.” European Union leaders discussed in Budapest whether they can afford to continue financing the Ukrainian military if Trump decides to withdraw Washington’s support, Bloomberg reported on Friday. However, according to sources, rather than money, they are more concerned about “the available military resources that have come primarily from the US.” Meanwhile, Zelensky seemed more concerned about the money – as he demanded from the EU roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets if the US cuts him off, claiming the money “rightfully belongs” to Ukraine. He also told the summit that he did not yet know Trump’s plans, and that only Kiev should “decide what should and should not be on the agenda for ending this war.”

“.. if that is your priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you’re on your own..”

• Zelensky Must Accept ‘Crimea Is Gone’ – Trump Strategist (RT)

The second administration of US President-elect Donald Trump will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine rather than enabling it to take back all the territory it has lost to Russia, Bryan Lanza, a senior campaign advisor to the US president-elect, has said. Lanza, a veteran Republican party strategist who has worked on campaigns with Trump since 2016, made the remarks to the BBC on Saturday. While he expressed respect for the Ukrainian people, Lanza said the US priority would be to achieve “peace and to stop the killing.” The strategist dismissed as unrealistic Kiev’s proclaimed goal of expelling Russian forces from all the territory it claims. Lanza specifically mentioned the Crimean peninsula, which broke away from Ukraine in the aftermath of the 2014 Maidan coup and joined Russia via a referendum. He did not say anything about four other formerly Ukrainian territories incorporated into the country in 2022.

When [Vladimir] Zelensky says we will only stop this fighting, there will only be peace once Crimea is returned, we’ve got news for President Zelensky: Crimea is gone. The US will not fight on Ukraine’s behalf to get the those areas back from Russia, Lanza stressed. “And if that is your priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you’re on your own,” he said. Instead, the Ukrainian leadership should come up with a “realistic vision for peace” ahead of potential negotiations. Zelensky’s insistence that “we can only have peace if we have Crimea” just shows he is “not serious,” Lanza said. “What we’re going to say to Ukraine is, ‘You know what you see? What do you see as a realistic vision for peace? It’s not a vision for winning, but it’s a vision for peace. And let’s start having honest conversation,” he added.

Trump repeatedly promised to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours during his election campaign. However, he has provided little detail on how he intends to do so. Meanwhile, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance has suggested that the conflict could be frozen along the current front line, with Kiev forced to abandon its claims over the territories held by Russia, as well as its aspiration to join NATO. Lanza’s statements on the Ukraine issue do not reflect Trump’s position, Reuters reported on Saturday evening. “Brian was hired to work on the campaign,” the agency quoted a Trump campaign representative as saying. “He does not work for the president [now] and does not speak for him.”

• Musk Says “Time Is Up For The Warmonger Profiteers” (ZH)

The Wall Street Journal this week reported that President-Elect Donald Trump is being presented with an array of competing proposals from advisers related to his campaign promise to immediately end the war in Ukraine upon entering the White House. While he’s reportedly yet to approve a specific plan, and much might also depend on his team identifying who will fill the top national security and foreign policy posts in the administration, what’s clear is the Zelensky government will feel the pressure to immediately sit at the negotiating table with Moscow. The WSJ has revealed that the current options being considered all involve imposing a ‘freeze’ on the war, which to Kiev’s dismay would involve “cementing Russia’s seizure of roughly 20 percent of Ukraine” while imposing a 20-year suspension on Ukraine pursuing NATO membership.

The front lines in the east “would essentially lock in place” according to the proposed plan which is reportedly attracting most attention within Trump’s team, and this freeze would be enforced by European peacekeepers along an 800-mile demilitarized zone. Trump officials have told the WSJ that the president-elect is committed to seeing that no American troops are deployed as part of policing this buffer zone; instead the Europeans should shoulder the burden: “Who would police that territory remains unclear, but one adviser said the peacekeeping force wouldn’t involve American troops, nor come from a U.S.-funded international body, such as the United Nations. “We can do training and other support but the barrel of the gun is going to be European,” a member of Trump’s team said. “We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Get the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it.”

The degree to which this plan is actually being mulled and favored by Trump is unclear. Ukraine is likely to object to being forced to give up such a large chunk of what it sees as its legitimate sovereign territory. “Anyone—no matter how senior in Trump’s circle—who claims to have a different view or more detailed window into his plans on Ukraine simply doesn’t know what he or she is talking about or doesn’t understand that he makes his own calls on national-security issues, many times in the moment, particularly on an issue as central as this,” a former Trump National Security Council aide told WSJ by way of important caveat. However, Elon Musk, who was invited by Trump to join in on a phone call with Ukraine’s President Zelensky this week, has suggested the above peace plan is likely top of the list of what’s being considered.

“The senseless killing will end soon. Time is up for the warmonger profiteers,” Musk posted on X in direct response to X commentator Mario Nawfal, who wrote about “Trump’s plan for Ukraine.” Nawfal in his original post which caught Musk’s attention wrote that Trump “reportedly plans an 800-mile demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine, with British and European troops patrolling the area” – quoting Newsweek. “Under the proposal, Russia would retain its territorial gains, and Ukraine would agree not to join NATO for 20 years,” Nawfal’s post added.

Another controversial aspect to the plan would be Washington would continue to pump Ukraine full of weapons while declaring it ‘neutral’ regarding NATO. J.D. Vance has previously called for Ukraine being “heavily fortified so the Russians don’t invade again” as part of a future peace process. But this would probably be especially objected to by the Kremlin, given a stated aim of Putin’s in executing the war is precisely to ‘demilitarize’ Ukraine, and to halt the advance of NATO infrastructure into the former Soviet satellite. Putin might perceive that the West continuing to arm Ukraine for many years to come would just set things up for another major future clash and war in Eastern Europe.

“Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla,” Musk posted on X in July..”

• Will Trump Clash With Musk Over EV Tariffs? (Sp.)

Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump has railed against Joe Biden’s climate policies, vowing to row back spending on green energy, and boost drilling for oil and gas to “further defeat inflation.” Donald Trump may help Tesla and the domestic EV industry by imposing very high tariffs on Chinese EV exports to the US, Dr. Mamdouh G. Salameh, a global energy expert, told Sputnik. “This will give a domestic boost to Tesla,” he said, “in return for the financial and political support” that Tesla CEO Elon Musk provided to his election campaign. Weighing in on Trump’s campaign pledges to “end the electric vehicle mandate on day one,” geopolitical commentator Thomas W. Pauken II speculated that Biden’s EV subsidies were “not exactly very business-orientated.”

“It was a case of having government spending on unpopular EVs… It didn’t make the cars cheaper. It just made it cheaper for the manufacturers to produce the cars and to even go head over heels over increasing automated manufacturing. So, the subsidies, rather than invest into human labor or to lower the cost, instead went to the manufacturers to automate their factories,” he underscored. The president-elect is “correct for opposing these types of subsidies,” the pundit said. “When Biden was having to decide on what companies would get the subsidy, I’m pretty sure that he looked at the DNC donors list to see who is more worthy of the subsidies and who is not,” Pauken II added.

Biden made EVs the centerpiece of his administration’s bid to fight climate change, allocating billions to manufacturers, the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program to install more EV chargers, incentives for battery factories, and tax credits for buyers. Trump, however, has slammed EVs as too expensive and undermining the American auto industry. In his nomination speech at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump said that he would “end the electric vehicle mandate on day one,” adding that this would result in “saving the US auto industry from complete obliteration, which is happening right now, and saving US customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car.”

Elon Musk, who donated over $119 million to a political action committee in his support, according to Federal Election Commission filings, has dismissed concerns about a potential end to Biden’s EV tax credit. “Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla,” Musk posted on X in July. Shares of Tesla, Inc. soared 15% on the results of the November 5 election, adding roughly $15 billion in value to Musk’s net worth.

“..this is a clash of the very principles on which relations between countries and peoples will be built at the next historical stage.”

• Putin Outlines The ‘Moment of Truth’ (Pepe Escobar)

President Putin’s plenary session performance (address + Q&A) at the annual Valdai Club meeting in Sochi felt like a high-speed train on cruise control. Totally cool, calm, comfortable, in full command of a Himalaya of facts, no political leader anywhere – recent past and present – would even come close to delivering what amounts to an extensive, detailed world view deeply matured over a quarter of a century at the highest geopolitical level. Putin began his address referring to the October 1917 revolution, drawing a direct parallel with our turbulent times: “The moment of truth is coming”. In a clear tribute to Gramsci, he stated how a “completely new world order” is “being formed before our eyes.” The subtle reference to the recent BRICS summit in Kazan could not possibly escape critical minds across the Global Majority.

Kazan was a living, breathing testimony that “the old order is irrevocably disappearing, one might say, has already disappeared, and a serious, irreconcilable struggle is unfolding for the formation of a new one. Irreconcilable, first of all, because this is not even a fight for power or geopolitical influence, this is a clash of the very principles on which relations between countries and peoples will be built at the next historical stage.” As concisely as possible, that should be taken as the current Big Picture framework: we are not mired inside a reductionist clash of civilizations or the “end of History” – which Putin defined as “myopic” – but facing a make-or-break systemic clash of fundamental principles. The result will define this century – arguably the Eurasia Century, as “the dialectics of History continues.” Putin himself quipped that he would drive into “philosophical asides” during his address.

In fact that went much further than a mere refutation of unilateral conceptual fallacies, as “the Western elites thought that their monopoly is the final stop for humanity” and “modern neoliberalism degenerated into a totalitarian ideology.” Referring to AI, he asked rhetorically, “will human remain human?” He praised the building of a new global architecture, moving towards a “polyphonic” and “polycentric” world where “maximum representation” is paramount and the BRICS are “coming up with a coordinated approach” based on “sovereign equality.”

“Peace is possible if Trump can escape from the US military/security complex and the warmonger neoconservatives.”

• Neoliberalism Has “Become a Totalitarian Ideology” – Putin (Paul Craig Roberts)

At the Valdai Forum Putin said that neoliberalism stifles national sovereignty and traditional values and erodes national cultures, thus eliminating diversity. “There is no room for difference in the neoliberal order. It seeks to flatten diversity rather than celebrate it.” Washington’s unipolar system “only serves a small number of powerful elites.” Now that Putin has come to these realizations, perhaps he will replace his neoliberal central bank director. Putin thanks Washington for the economic sanctions that forced Russia off the mistaken path of globalism. “The sanctions have forced us to look inward, to focus on developing domestic industries.” Globalism is a one-way street to economic death. For Americans the consequence was the offshoring of American industry and middle class jobs, pressure on state and local budgets, and the loss of a trained work force.

Putin says that he respects Western civilization–probably more than do graduates and professors of Western universities. The problem is not Western culture. The problem is with the aggressive policies of Western governments. Putin is puzzled that such weak political and military countries are so aggressive toward such a powerful unified country as Russia. Putin said Trump was a capable leader who has shown courage and resilience. Putin declared willingness to work with Trump to normalize relations and put them on a more constructive path. Now that both powers have capable leaders perhaps the world can escape from war. Peace is possible if Trump can escape from the US military/security complex and the warmonger neoconservatives.

    Smile if you voted for Trump

    Yeah, sure, I’m dumb as fuck, I didn’t notice the Democrats deliberately, completely throwing this election in the crapper by nominating Harris and not letting the Democrat party nominate or vote for a candidate. Why is everybody, including Obama, HRC, Pelosi downplaying this complete ridiculousness?

    Sure, I didn’t notice them helping Trump as much as they could. And how much do you think Pelosi will receive for that, how much do you think HRC will receive for that, how much will Obama receive for that; throwing the election, they could all have stopped it but they didn’t because their owner is Trump’s owner, is Musk’s owner etc. One big club and you ain’t in it.

    @Mister Roboto

    See them as the new Amish. They are going to obey God’s laws (wink wink, he’s a man) in order to piss off the men who voted for Trump; the “men” who voted for Harris are obviously not men, either in our eyes or in their eyes, otherwise they would be committed to fucking the feminised arsewipes of the Democrat party, the people who helped Trump win. America is super confused, but it is fun to watch. All you need to know is that time heals everything, mostly because people die, so all the current shit is basically a waste of time, people should be living self fulfilling lives, but instead the Americans want war …. they just can’t decide who to fight, but these tattooed ugly club wannabe men have chosen Trump men to fight. Americans; if there is nobody to fight, life is not worth living.

    Why are they always popular, why are the cunts surviving but the popular ones dying? Maybe there is a reason, I have an idea. The cunts told the government to fuck off, they told Pfizer to fuck off. The popular ones bent over and relaxed their sphincters and welcomed in the Pfizer mob; and you know how Jews fuck things up, man do they make a mess.

    ROGAN: “Apparently Elon created an app and he knew who won the election four hours before the results. Dana White told me Elon said ‘I’m leaving. It’s over. Donald won.” I don’t know how he did it. Dana said Elon showed him the app and said “It’s over,” and then just left.”

    Reminds me of the witch burnings in the UK; people in the USA will believe fucking anything, it is so sad, and yet it is here on TAE. Really? Man, are we in a different space and time continuum, or is this just plain retardedness?

    All it says to me is that Rogan was bought, this is so dumb that Rogan was part of the Trump plan … not the plan made by Trump, the plan that the owners of Trump devised for this election.

    Rogan, you are an idiot, maybe too many punches in the head…. or, you are a sellout, pretending to see the light but actually bullshitting … I tend to think you were bought a few years back, promoted and then this was the reason you were recruited. Yeah, your podcasts are way more boring than those of other people yet you make the headlines …. only money can do that.

    Probably nothing …

    A team of leading emergency pediatric medicine researchers is sounding the alarm over surging cases of heart damage in children who received Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

    During a major study, the eminent Irish researchers analyzed the cases of dozens of children who had been hospitalized with heart-related problems.

    Alarmingly, every single one of the children had been given at least one dose of a Covid mRNA vaccine before they were admitted to hospital.

    The researchers were unable to find any such reports of heart damage among unvaccinated children.

    The study was conducted over an 11-month period at the Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Tallaght Hospital in Dublin, Ireland.

    The findings were published in the Official Journal of the Irish Medical Organization (IMJ)

    Rural conservatives already have a remarkably higher Total Fertility Rate than urban liberals. It’s a little puzzling that the liberal female long-term strategy is to reduce the urban liberal TFR to close-to-zero. “Let’s make our demographic group not exist anymore, that will show them!”

    “Nov 09 The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide  QTR

    Yeah, we know. Why bring it up now?

    Sargon pointing out that 70 days from taking his first hour of power, Trump hasn’t done anything and everything is already getting fixed already. Hamas has already decided they can talk. Germany is already rotating. Ze is already talking peace. Mr. Gates is already looking how he can be most helpful and obsequious. Daddy’s home! He places it as the LEGITIMATE King, say King Richard, not only has returned, but merely is ON HIS WAY to returning.

    Already King John is in a fever to put the silverware back. The Sheriff is already doing tax reform and buybacks. Etc.
    Crazy as that seems, that’s actually true. He places is as the “Legitimate” King or power, with the “Mandate of Heaven” as I’ve mentioned. If you do NOT have the true mandate of heaven and are a pretender – as they have been for 4 years – all sorts of weird, bad things happen. They are constantly feel inadequate, and not obeyed and lash out in inadequacy and do really, really weird psychological things. Clearly. Like we’ve all been Picard head-slapping for years. WHYYYYY would you over-react like that??? Pardon J6 and look magnanimous and King-like. Can’t help it. Why? They’re not actually king-like, internally. They’re pathetic children and hollow empty men. I guess that’s true since IF this thing happened, and for some reason they plopped into the lap of power, BUT BEHAVED KINGLIKE, no one would argue and you’d stay there. We’d say, “Well, things went bad there, but thank you very much, kind and benevolent ruler.” We could have hundreds of men, each ready to uphold the just and honest United States like we do on our side. Kill one, another appears instantly. Odd to think of.

    Next So in concept, Trump was blackmailing and running elements of the Kamala campaign. Is that where all the money disappeared to? $1.2 BILLION dollars??? It was transferred out? And if so, where? To the People? The GOP campaigns? No evidence, of course.

    “Dems Float Plan To Push Ailing Justice Sotomayor Off Supreme Court So Biden Can Replace Her Before Trump Is Sworn In

    Why do they hate strong women and brown people so much??? Everyone is commenting on a very bad view here: thousands of liberal white women screaming at Brown people online, calling them every name, saying they’ll call them in, inform, deport them, erase their rights. WTF acts like that??? Jesus Christ, even IF you are solely power-mad and self-centered, you’re destroying yourself, and forever via reputation, so don’t let me stop you. Same here. Sotomayor has been loyal and a great person to point to on the court. So they are assassinating her. She’s suddenly in the way of “Best Life Now” and has to go THIS MINUTE. F—k your “Narrative”, I want her out NOW!

    I mean, does this end somewhere? These white Liberal women have run god-damn A.M.O.K. nationwide, and are a threat to Men, Women, and Children, the entire society is in fatal danger from them. They’re lemon-sucking mirthless, sexless church ladies who’ve worked themselves up into an nationwide Satanic Panic, accusing every neighbor of riding broomsticks – they saw personally! — and everyone I don’t like needs to be burned at the stake. They’re swooping down to and fro, descending like they’re they’re all riding broomsticks themselves.

    Is there nothing that can contain their madness and blood lust? Holy. Cow.

    So: ALL YOU BROWN PEOPLE; IT’S YOUR TURN TO BE TOSSED IN THE FIRE. Starting not with Sotomayor, but with EVERYONE at once, ALL of them, kill them all and let God sort it out.

    And we thought this madness might end. I guess not. I guess not until we have some final battle of Sauron’s Voice, some epic hilltop where they can all remember being routed and spanked soundly for 100 years. I wouldn’t do it, yet here we are. Is it just too much to CALM THE F—K DOWN for two seconds and assess the field for your next strategy? Apparently yes. And than God for our sake that’s true, but it’s truly incredible to witness.
    Every caste “Beneath them” attacked in unison, instantly, overnight. The entire internet lit up like krystalnicht with beating on minorities, using an industrial size pestle to cram them under the bus en masse.

    Okay man. You do you. Clearly there is nothing to add here.

    I clicked a link I can’t unclick (the bastards) and you can’t thumbs down so I’ve been tossed into a part of the Internet I don’t usually go, but here’s what I mean: https://youtu.be/tMJNro9XpBM?t=107

    All voters, 100% of them, including all minorities are sexist and racist. Jen Psaki and a 8-headed panel of top experts. “Why don’t you vote for me, you racist, sexist, pieces of human filth? We need your vote, you gibbering pustules of garbage.”

    “Kamala ran a “Flawless campaign. Flawless” – The View. It was right she didn’t go on Joe Rogan because really they need to create their OWN Joe Rogan, one who is super-popular worldwide because he does exactly as he’s told. https://youtu.be/SzJ8eoPpqb4?t=203

    This is breathtaking cluelessness, of diabolic narcissists, what is this lady saying “All America needs a big hug from Kamala, our Mom-ala”. WTF are you talking to???? Again, ONLY women, by definition, but a tiny, TINY section of women that doesn’t sound bat s—t insane to. Like clearly no Hispanic women, who are trying to buy tortillas and have their husband (yes, husband) not lose his job to immigration.

    “I’m genuinely curious: was there something the Democrats did to alienate Elon Musk?” Honestly now. “They didn’t invite him to the American Electric Vehicle Summit.”

    Next up (same timestamp) Van Jones, Tryyyyyying to wedge so much as a toothpick of reason into their lizard brains:

    “1) Elon Musk was/is a Democrat. A minute ago. 2) TRUMP was a Democrat, a minute ago (laugh track)
    3) “If the Democrats have any policy success, it’s this: ‘All White people are racist’, ‘All men are toxic’, and ‘all billionaires are evil’, then IT’S KIND OF HARD TO KEEP THEM ON YOUR SIDE!!!!!!!!!!” (Go Van!)

    “So we kinda want to think about, if we’re chasing people out of the party, you can’t be mad when they leave. (!!!!!!!!!!!!) So if we kind of had different policies, like we said “Dignity for everybody”, ‘Everybody’s respected’ and ‘We need you’ then more people might stay.”

    Nope. Who are we Karen Bullying out of the Party next? Apparently all black men and Latino voters, as well as breaking every marriage, relationship, friendship or trust, be it big or small. ‘Cause: That’ll work. GSR: Guilting, Shaming, Ridiculing. Ostracizing. At the 6th Grade Mean Girlz table, who doesn’t like that? Mean to me, ye “Ugliness goes straight to the bone” person? Well you got my vote!

    Well, they’re on their own story-arc now. Like the U.S. and BRIICS, if you kick EVERYONE in all school out of your club, who’s left? You? Gru, our Dr. No, kicked out EVERY minion: ALL of them. And now he’s a dangerous mastermind that…what exactly? Has to cook his own eggs and rivet his own space planes?

    Yes, Narcissism vs Leadership here. An evil supergenius with no Minions is…a mental patient. No power at all. This is EXACTLY what I’m saying about what the difference between Napoleon and a mental patient. NAPOLEON HAS FOLLOWERS. And doesn’t kick them OUT, he builds them IN. And not to keep harping on it, but that’s what makes it a Male event and action, and not a Female one.

    What do I mean by that? What was the first thing King Richard did after he put down a murderous, deadly rebellion from his own brother, King John? A: He pardoned him. Now did he hold it over his head, mentioning it al the time so John would feel gosh very, VERY sorry, guilty, and ashamed of what he had done? A: Not that anybody knows of. WHY? Because this is the MALE orientation of power: we accomplish TASKS, practically. The TASK is to win, and save the kingdom, prevent further rebellions and trouble. If the TASK said murder John, he would have in two seconds, possibly personally. And then? A: AND BECAUSE OF THIS, EVERYONE CAN MOVE ON WITH THEIR LIVES. The End. So IF you are John, or Lords of his rebellion, do you surrender to Richard? Yes!!!!!!!!!! Because side from making a few examples of people with public choppings, you can be pardoned and go on with your lives. As a practical measure, others will watch you closely, but it’s fully tolerable.

    And if he were of another orientation? YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER. Ever. Because you will never be forgiven, ever. You will never live it down, ever. You will ALWAYS be ground. ALWAYS be garbage. Therefore you MUST attempt it again. ALL Lords, all soldiers, ALL Royalty, they MUST keep fighting in an endless frenzy for centuries until everything is ruined and everyone is dead. That’s what happens if, like now, they cannot accept a loss, concede to be mastered by their duly-elected Ruler, and let it go.

    That is, UNTIL HIERARCHICAL DOMINANCE IS FIRMLY SETTLED, WITH EVERYONE, EVERYBODY DIES. So, for the love of God, settle it and let it go, will ya? No. They cannot. Daddy’s home and they cannot stop badgering, poking, shreiking, disrespecting.

    So at this point THE ENTIRE CULTURE wants them, AWFULS to get an awful beating. Everyone on EARTH wants them to get a beating. A spanking at a minimum. And STILL they’re completely oblivious. Completely un-cognisent of power. At All.

    Okay, what do I MEAN by that? Look at the 4B’s: They’re not going to have sex again until they can abort them some irresponsible, immoral bastard babies. There’s so much here I can hardly get through it all.

    1) JB will be shocked, SHOCKED I tell you to know this is a Communist legacy, of Communist origin. That why it goes from Mao’s China, to Korea, to us. Like CRT. The “Four Nos” is a well-known platform of theirs, and for the same purpose.

    2) Look at WHAT it says: It says WOMAN ARE ONLY POWERFUL AND VALUABLE FOR SEX. Which is disgusting. — I – would never say that! Jesus, what’s wrong with you? but they’re not only saying it, it so deeply, foundational, it doesn’t even occur to them THAT they are saying it. It’s just the way the world IS.

    2a) What would the rest of us, non-deranged, normal people do? Oh, they’re both VOTERS and Elected Officers, had the vote and suffrage for 100 years, so I dunno, get up a campaign to take the Mayorship or something? You already have 51% of the voters, you say, so should be a breeze. IT NEVER OCCURS TO THEM. To execute NORMAL power, using NORMAL means of work and sovereign responsibility.

    3) Because THEY, naturally and automatically, almost as if they have blinders on, place themselves SECOND, subservient to men. — I – didn’t do this, no one I know does this, only women themselves. THEY cannot make their own case with their own power – obviously, so obvious they never CONSIDER it – so they have to FORCE MEN to do it FOR them. To do whatever action they want done. They are entirely 100% referential to MEN. I can’t even conceive of this. Men are referential to themselves, and their tasks. It never OCCURS to us to be referential to something else, that would be illogical. In the same way, these 4B women, ONLY refer to their lives and their power as a moon, as a REFLECTION of men. That men have all the power, they need to get it from us, which um, we don’t? Duh?

    4) Okay, HOW, if you have no power and are going to take no actions of your own, grasp no responsibility, do no work, HOW are you going to make men do this for you? Again, with GSR, Guilt, Shame, Ridicule, Ostracizing, denying, hating, etc.

    5) Problem: AS IF MEN CARE. They do not. Please, PLEASE for the love of God and the very salvation of our culture PLEASE I beg you, never have sex again. With me or with anyone. Until you straighten this out. I will be praying on my knees every night, “God, if you’re up there, please let them or men never have sex again.”

    “Donor Class” “Put a bullet in him.”

    No. that’s the point of POWER. That’s the point of LEGITIMACY. That’s our King Richard above. Like Zuck and Gates, YOU CALL HIM IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE A DEAL. THAT, is what the “donor class” can and will do. If they’re NOT doing that, they’re not the “Donor Class”, they’re the CIA, the world government, the adversary, foreign or domestic.

    Adding, Overton Window: Everybody knows “they” kill Presidents all the time. Everybody always knew that, although only last year with RFK we had to float a poll surprising that 60% of America thought JKF was assassinated by the CIA. But now we all always knew that. No one has ever been called a “Conspiracy Theorist” for saying so, from 1963 to 2021.

    “MSNBC’s Chris Hayes labels him “Co-President” — says he set $22B “on fire” in order to “turn the social media platform into a right wing propaganda machine.”

    Who as above, BOTH Musk, and Trump, are DEMOCRATS, Liberal Democrats, and always have been. Their policies haven’t changed. What’s changed is DNC is now the party of Trotsky Revolutionaries. Pool as discussing this in IRL panel, because the INTERNAL LOGIC, (besides being self-contradictory, LBG…and T???) REQUIRES them to go full-madness. That’s also WHY they had no choice but failed DEI hire Kamala. (why would you be offended I say that if DEI is a good thing?) She is higher on the social hierarchy racial caste system. If there is no objective reality, you HAVE to believe men are women. It’s not incidental, a side effect, it’s a logical imperitive. And the only way back is to become a “Republican”, that is, to accept SOME Order. SOME king. SOME #Logos, somewhere. UN THINKABLE. And thus, in this conception, every person in every time and place in the historical universe is a Nazi. By definition. Because the entire universe in all history is to the Right of us. Again, Trump and Elon are Center-Left Democrats. Probably far-left compared to 1950. So don’t let it rest there. OUR internal logic has logical imperatives too. If ALL government is bad, then slightly less tyranny isn’t much better, right? Except our way has been tested throughout history and works.

    “”The biggest mistake I made is to put too much of a weighting on somebody’s talent and not much on their personality, it actually matters whether somebody has a good heart.”

    Self-reflection and the ability to learn. What did Kamala learn, what would she have done differently, with Joe or with the campaign? A: “Kamala ran a flawless campaign.”

    “out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected.”

    Several levels: remember how he had an excellent case to negotiate Twitter in court? Aaaaaand then dumped it one random day and paid full price. TIMING. They needed it by X date. Second, WHAT is in Twitter? A: ALL THE REPORTERS’ and POLITICIANS’ PERSONAL DMs. That is, all the naughty, illegal chatter of all the hundred thousand, million crimes they did. So they shut them all down. Call them up, remind them, and lo! Kamala runs a campaign like this that accidentally loses! HOW do we do that? We don’t call them up and tell them to stop. No. We call them up and order them to GO TOO FAR. They don’t even notice because that makes sense to them.

    But it’s the seen and the unseen. WHAT was in the Twitter servers that was very, very interesting for power and lawsuits? What was in Comey’s safe, and Trump’s read-only files like on Epstein?

    “Caravan of migrants disperses”

    Trump isn’t even President yet. Legitimacy and order returns WITHOUT Him LIFTING A FINGER. Why? Trust. They KNOW he will say this, do this, and he’s not lying. FAFO. What else? They TRUST that he will also be just and orderly. That is, he’s not going to strafe the caravan with Warthogs or space lasers in order to make his point, for instance. That’s illegal, immoral, and dis-orderly. #Logos and #AntiLogos. That’s what Biden and Non-legitimate, Non-Leaders like Blinken do, and why they can’t get anything done. Blinken THINKS he’s being sooper-tricky and schmarts LYING to both the Israelis and the Palestinians, but in fact no one believes him and he can’t get anything done. Sadly, you can use those tactics to weasel your way into power, but the same tactics make you useless failure once there. There’s only the hard road of doing it right.

    “Still, the losing side is expected to accept defeat graciously, to respect the authority their adversary has gained in this zero-sum game of elections, and take up the mantle of the loyal opposition.”

    Part of order, #Logos, and Legitimacy, and now the Democrats no longer have it. Their Legitimacy as he says, now depends on them being loyal opposition and being elected again. If they do not, their whole Party is Illegitimate, not just one election cycle. Do It! DO IT!!! We’re 99% there, why stop now?

    “Governor Maura Healey has said Massachusetts state police will not support Trump’s mass immigration plans – a bedrock promise of his campaign, which is backed by a majority of Americans. This opposition is only the tip of a long spear of Resistance 2.0. The liberal and leftist elites in the legacy media, academia, and various other power centers have made clear that they will do everything they can, not just to oppose but to undermine and delegitimize the democratically elected president.”

    NO THEY WILL NOT. Same as the Political temperature dropped 20 degrees, the social and political Legitimacy has shifted over the people to Order, and because of due election results, to Trump. For better or worse. That means unlike 2016, when MA does this, they will merely be mopped up, ruled against, and removed.

    ““I expect that Trump will be found guilty at least in some cases, and will be in jail by election day in November 2024..”

    Same as above. The winds have changed. DO IT!!! Please, please try and show us.

    “have an immediate head start thanks to the perception that he will be tougher than his predecessor.”

    What does “Tough” mean here? It doesn’t mean “Cruel and capricious.” The part of “Tough” here is it means “Honesty”. He is going to set ideas, this is what we need, and stand up for it. Also not with “My way or the highway” that is also not “tough”, for-the-love-of-Christ-why-do-I-have-to-explain-this-to-people-now? It’s being MALE. It’s just being Obvious. No special trick, no magic, although apparently it seems that way?

    “…Trump’s flaw is that excessive tariffs and an economic war on China will severely disrupt supply chains to the extent it will undermine the US economy..”

    He’s not wrong about that: it’s gonna suck. We’re trying to undo 40 years of cancer at warp speed. However, the alternate is to try to get rich while nobody has a job: an impossibility. There are so many trillions offset in raw theft and oppression, it should be relatively easy if they only remove HALF of it. Probably only a handful of illegal overseas military bases could offset all homelessness and pay student loans too.

    “The pre-election polls, right up to voting day on November 5, weren’t even close, as it turned out.”

    No! What???? The Polls were all LYING? Why would the do that, and oversample Democrats by 8 in some areas?

    “they can continue their project to transform America. They are masters of the long game.”

    Are they really though? Looks like they lost every single wing of the long game. Every where. With every body. Every human worldwide hates their guts, and will harass them on sight.

    “• Kamala Harris May Be Appointed Supreme Court Judge (Sp.)

    Great idea. Do you know what Candice Owens was on about with Kamala? All the P Diddy parties she went to too? Yeah, um, like Obama, SHE WAS GROOMED FROM CHILDHOOD in what is de-factco MK Ultra. That’s why it was Canada and McGill, the epicenter. That’s why her “Grandma” wasn’t her grandma, and her uncle wasn’t her uncle. Probably she was being passed around as a party favor as a child, wouldn’t surprise me. So…why bring that up that I can’t prove?

    Candice was gently floating this as a daily reminder to Ms. Harris, to “know her place”. She’s on a short lead indeed. Soooo….now you think we can look into her crazy past and she’ll be vetted as a USSC judge? Uhhhh, methinks not. That’s all about POWER, and I don’t think they have enough of it. Kamala herself? SHE LOOKED RELIEVED. Elated. Cheerful and relaxed at least, having lost in her concession speech. Happy. Ebullient. The Party of Joy at last. So…that’s her reaction when Mecha-Hilter is elected to take over a dictatorship and crush the world. Um…like buying houses at sea level, your actions belie your words methinks? Like possibly you were lying, overstating your case slightly? Looks like Mecha-Hitler is NOT going to round up all his enemies like you are and have them shot against the wall before dawn?

    So she finally feels relieved so who is going to MAKE her be a justice and have to WORK for a living? That’s nuts. No way. She wants to find some more coke and blow some guys for fun. …And I’m not picking on her for being a woman: it’s pretty well-established that’s what Macron and Rubio do too.

    “• Neoliberalism Has “Become a Totalitarian Ideology” – Putin (Paul Craig Roberts)

    It always was. Foundation: LYING, having to alter the definition of words, “Liberal” in order to wear a once-legitimate paradigm like a bloody and horrifying skin-suit. Whenever you see that, almost certainly injustice and violence is right behind. Also be pretty sure they are Socialists.

    “Russia Yakutia: The mysterious wall “

    Well as always, the people who lived there sure knew about it! The knew a LOT, possibly all there is to know. So what you’re saying is dumb s—ts in OXFORD didn’t know? Yeah, they’re experts, they don’t know d—k by definition. I’ll bring it up because it best illustrates this: A female archeologist from Minnesota was in the Mayan ruins, trying to decipher the hieroglyphs. About 1930? She said, “If only I had a Mayan speaker here, I’m SURE I could decipher this!” Her guide and digger said, “My Grandpa speaks Mayan, I’ll get him for you.” The End. Uhhhhh….yeah. No one ASKED. 300 years. That’s Oxford, Harvard, the Poison Ivy League for you. And she DID decipher it, and got an award and fame…for asking grandpa to read and speak, what everyone reads and speaks, BUT WHITE MORONS DON’T. Even now, no one mentions HOW she did it, where her real white genius came from.

    But not to fear: they gave the far larger Nobel Peace Prize to a guy who didn’t EVEN ask, and did literally nothing at all, at least she did SOMETHING.

    aspnaz,

    Next time you believe anything you read on the internet that you do not have first hand knowledge about, remember this: study claims that 57% of all Internet content is AI-generated. A large portion of the rest of the internet that is actually posted by humans is propaganda designed to cause fear in order to compel us to conform to communism. For example, big pharma hired nefarious operatives and governmet officials to post lies all over the internet during the plandemic in order to sell vaccinations.  The communist one world government is making a lot of money off of lying to us. People believed what they read on the internet about covid even though they had zero proof in reality that any of it was true. 

    Brainless bots, whether human or not, are also programmed to argue in the comments sections of forums and articles. All of this is designed to make us think that something is wrong with us if we don’t agree with whatever narrative the nwo wants us to think. It is designed to make us think that we have to go along with the crowd even though the ‘crowd’ is fake AI generated lies.  We all need to be aware that majority of everything we read on the internet is lies.

    If you use AI daily like I do (I use it to comb through unstructured data quickly), you’ll notice very soon that just about everything is touched by AI now. You kinda have to be creative with your prompts to make it give you something other than that standard “AI style” of wording and formatting. And most people don’t go there.

    I’m afraid of what will happen when AI improves so much it’ll no longer be noticeable.
    I’m already afraid that there might be some AI-generated unchecked incorrect information in research papers, especially those related to medicine, chemistry, architecture. Just imagine the damage that false information can incur down the line.

    Some say that some politicians and celebrities are AI generated. Bruce Willis sold his likeness to be used in the last few movies that he starred in. In fact, contracts in Hollywood require celebrities to sell their likenesses, appearance and voices, to the film companies. These celebrities put their likenesses on a literal altar to sacrifice to satan. Megan Fox has talked about doing that. Both Biden and Trump are rumoured to have died years ago which would mean that what we see on our screens may be AI generated.

    On Trump seeking ‘major changes’ to US foreign policy (top post.)

    Bush Junior attacked, 2001 – 3, Iraq (supposedly cos WMD, etc..) and the Afgh. ‘war’ was churning on.

    The GWOT raging loud.

    How much destruction? Oh Man…spare me…so many dead…

    Obama bombed Afgh (cont’d).. Lybia (destroyed), Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq (cont’d…)

    From CNN, like it is ‘official’:

    https://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/23/politics/countries-obama-bombed/index.html

    Biden withdrew from Afgh. Then launched the ‘serious’ ‘war’ w. Ukr. as a proxy against Russia. Under the radar: territory that could be taken over in UKR by US Big Corps (Agri, minerals, cheap labor, easy control.) Something like that…

    Under Trump there was a ‘pause’ in foreign military attack adventures, hmm.

    Diffent factions in the UNIPARTY switch about being pro / contra this or that murderous enterprise against some country, territory that can’t resist, fight back. Which serves to make their adherents cover themselves with ‘no support for that’ now.. while the other wing of the Uniparty sets out to murder, destroy, sometimes not even for any financial / other advantage, just the JOY of a killing spree to benefit the MIC.

    The risk that Trump may instigate a war against Iran is imho NOT to be ignored.

    About Elon Musk. He figured out Trump would win, no question (imho he can analyse twitter etc. -> it was a no-brainer) like others did. Opportunistically, Tulsi G, the Kennedy Junior, and no doubt many others not visible in the MSM.

    The overwhelming majority of Americans believe that the country has been heading in the wrong direction.
    The Chinese have a foreign policy of building roads and bridges and feeding poor people.” It is a good time for pragmatism to triumph over ideology.

    Trump’s appeal to end the forever wars resulted in invaluable support from former Democrats such as Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk.
    The liberal crusades over the past three decades have fueled unsustainable debt.
    Of course, they financed the deep state (the blob), but they alienated the US across the world,
    and incentivized the other great powers to collectively balance Washington.
    The forever wars were costly mistakes that never end well, yet the US could absorb these costs during the unipolar era in the absence of any real opponents.
    In a multipolar system, America must scale back its military adventurism and learn how to prioritize foreign policy objectives.
