    “BREAKING: Trump is on death’s door” Really American
    “Donald Trump is dying, and everyone around him knows it. The charade of strength is crumbling, and the evidence is plain to see.”

    Yup, and I heard he sent subs to nuke Moscow last week too.

    ““I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole.”–Trump

    That is not the language of a confident man; it’s the language of someone staring into the abyss, terrified of what’s coming. He spoke of making peace in Ukraine not as diplomacy, but as a bargaining chip with God—saying that if he could broker peace, maybe, just maybe, it would get him into heaven.”
    This is a man who is acutely aware of his own mortality, a man obsessed with salvation because he knows his body and mind are failing him.”

    The Internal, emotional state of Donald Trump. Using a super, high-pro Telepathy mind-merge machine, this author not only knows SOME thoughts of the Donald, he knows EVERY thought. And thinks of nothing But the Donald from first wake, to final exhaustion, collapsing at 3am having thought of nothing but Donald all day.

    Marry someone who cares about you as much as this man cares about The Donald.

    Like “No facts” I now judge articles and commentary on how many words it takes before they transition to interpreting facts based on a person’s internal emotional – unknowable – state.

    Was it always this bad, this utterly retarded? No, actually.

    BTW, Donald seems to be exhibiting a new phenomena of “Erratic speech patterns”. Hereto unforeseen before just now. Red alert.

    “Somebody came along and beat them at their own game. And that was Trump, a master of the media… and a master of popular culture. That creates a lot of frustration on their part.”

    As you can see, they were/are so retarded that a retarded President looks like a stable genius in comparison to them.

    This is what’s been bugging me for years. Like Celtic, Aspnaz, rates are 29%APR, “they” run and control everything, there is no escape! Ummmmm…don’t sign “Yes” to that? You retards. They can’t MAKE you take a 29% credit card and use it. Change plastic to “Bumf—k Central Credit Union.” Loan your own children the money for their house, screw the bank, and take the 100% upcharge in interest profit for yourself the way the Amish do all day. That nets you $150k for the family estate, $350k if you have two kids. NOPE!

    Jesus Christ then, who’s the retard, who’s the villain here? THEM? Or Us?

    JUST DON’T BUY IT.

    They’re so dumb that we have to work, work, work to be dumberer! This is how Trump, for the love of god, all people, ends up being smarter than them and us.

    Aren’t you ashamed of yourself every day that happens again? Just. Stop.

    BTW, it seems impossible, but really, honest: if you just said “Nope, the ROI on a 4-year degree says be a welder,” and did that, then the Uni’s would have all folded on price in 1994. Same with housing, and all the others. They are adding not money, but CREDIT to the auction. If the farmers at the auction refuse the credit, digit no rise.

    That was the reality for the 500 years before now, when suddenly everyone burned math, grabbed the credit, then complained about their own pin-headed sabotage of themselves and their neighbors. Ya think?

    I’m only one guy though. And when I say “Live below your means” I fear I’ll be stabbed.

    Vance: I am baffled by the name changes. They make no sense as a citizen and are annoying. Your mail gets lost and spend all day on the phone with SS dept. They make no sense as a facade or political construct and add nothing, in fact are a suspicious flag. Are they some kind of Occult Magic these jokers believe in? I don’t understand or care, same as what shirt they wear and if they have a beard. You do know there are ACTUAL facts, right?

    “• Zelensky Vows To Retake Crimea Despite Trump’s Peace Push (RT)

    Okay, great. Then Russia can only fight until you cease to exist. Your choice. And by “You” I mean EUROPE ceases to exist, as they are the actual war.

    Krainer points out in CryptoRich that UK went bananas over F-Stan. The first high-profile end of Empire, which is British, not American. Blair had a quote he was trying to remember that “The U.S. has the idiotic opinion of ending the Forever War.” Uhhhh… Whut? So the Schmartz opinion is to HAVE a forever war? One you’re not fighting because Britain has no soldiers at all and only 8 guns?

    THAT. Is Europe right now. They can’t stop believing in Trosky’s Glorious Revolution, where there is murder daily in the streets, and all proles are killed. …Explains their immigration policy better, doesn’t it?

    So Ze saying “They” will take Crimea, same thing. Who is “They” though? Kiev can’t take a nowheresville like Sumy.

    “Kristen Welker is a disgrace, and embarrassing. She tries to interrupt him a thousand times -and fails-, but doesn’t listen
    .”

    When you’re an old diplomat you’ve met a lot of stupid people.

    “..but … but… everybody keeps saying they want ALL of Ukraine…!
    • Territory Is Not What Russia Is Interested In – Lavrov (RT)

    “We Make S—t Up!” If they don’t want it, we just SAY they do. No one checks, and when they’re dead wrong, like about American subs nuking Moscow, we just ignore it the day after. We were right anyway, doncha know? Wrong every day = Right every day, BothNeitherAii.

    I would think they WOULD want it. Personally I would take it to control it, but apparently they’re smarter and have other plans. As a neutral rump state, a constant millstone around Europe, W. Ukraine still does all the tasks without the costs.

    ““They say we cannot allow the defeat of Ukraine. We cannot allow Russia to win…”

    Plan A. AMERICA fights the whole war. For FREEEEEEEE. This was added to Blair’s quote above, in the same breath we was like “America Sucked in WWI and we had to MAKE them do it. America is an -sshole in WWII and it took them way too long to save us.” Yeah, um, about that….?

    Is that the part you were supposed to say out loud? That Churchill non-stop bombed German civilians bc Hitler was entirely disinterested in UK and the Western front? And without that, he couldn’t FORCE America to be his b—ch?

    Fast Forward to today, they now have NO nation, country, tragedy, strategy at all. Nothing Europe says is plausible, they’re not even trying to be sane. You need this appearance of not being a psycho b—h to have men step in for you. Psycho b—hes can’t understand that though, they’ve just been trained on what worked once when they were pretty. It’s really embarrassing I have to say this.

    “• Revolution or a Caesar? (Paul Craig Roberts)

    He’s right on this and I used to say it all the time. Liberals think government is the only NOT corrupt place, which is why all power should go there. WHY in GOD’S name anyone would think that, or WHAT in all their combined life experience over 150 years could cause it, I never understood. It’s just “Daddy”. Daddy’s a mystery, Daddy gives me stuff, Daddy do it. I want a Pony, I don’t care how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRTkCHE1sS4

    When you tell them they just shut their ears. It’s amazing.

    “More Sundance. He says there are two ‘gates’: Russiagate and ‘spygate’, where Obama et al spied on Americans for many years. According to him, ‘spygate’ is much more important -and bigger-, and Russiagate is used to divert attention away from it.”

    Jesus Christ. So the largest crime in American history – and I’m struggling to find one as large in world history – is considered the DISTRACTION, we should probably ignore? Uh, no. And also Yes, Spygate and eg Palantir is bigger.

    You solve it as above, by erasing government. Bringing it down to size. But to do that you’ll need to bring CORPORATIONS down to size too, which are subservient to government. How many tank divisions does GM have? Or the Federal Reserve? GFY.

    But we here actually know all these things and have been reporting on them publicly since they day it came out. Even before 2001.You tell them, link the source documents, and everyone says “Nah, bro.”

    “theme that’s gaining popularity: Putin trolling Trump.”

    This is retarded. Even in lying, PR-public terms. Nobody DGAF. How unfathomably out of touch the 1% is, consisting only of Federal workers and Cantillionaires.

    “”… the CIA seemingly operates in places like Ukraine without President Trump or Director John Ratcliffe having any power over the activity.”

    Yes, and they are the Drug Cartels, now with several dozen black armies. Self-funding. Human trafficking in Mx ALONE was like $6B and owns the State of Mexico, and clearly their leader. So right now the US Army is bombing the CIA in Central America. We’re just not CALLING it that.

    Now it’s happening again. Machetes that are used on farms, in gardening, in households across the world are now being stripped from Australians.

    This is how liberty erodes—one restriction ,”for your safety” at a time.
    You have a three-month “Machete Amnesty” from September 1 to November 30 to surrender your machete—no questions asked. Drop it in one of over 40 safe disposal bins located at police stations across the state. Miss the deadline and you’re in serious trouble: fines exceeding $47,000 AUD or up to 2 years in jail.”

    What are they going to use for work? Their teeth? A: “I don’t care, I live in Sydney”.

    The Magic of Anti-Market, anti-choice economies:
    In the book The Liberators by Viktor Suvorov (a pseudonym), the author recounts an incident that occurred while he was working on a collective farm, shortly before beginning his military career. The Soviet Communist Party had launched a campaign (called “Strength Through Chemicals”) to increase agricultural output. The initiative required chemical plants to produce large quantities of fertilizer. To commemorate a politically significant holiday, central planners ordered that each plant complete its production quota by that date, and that collective farms collect their assigned share that same day.
    Suvorov was assigned to drive his farm’s only tank truck to collect the fertilizer. He pointed out to the farm director that the truck was too old and slow to make the many necessary trips in time, and more importantly, that the holiday that the Party had chosen was an entirely inappropriate time to apply fertilizer. Worse still, the farm had no storage facilities to keep the fertilizer until it could be used.
    The director agreed, but replied that every other farm was in the same situation, and that by the time Suvorov arrived at the plant, “they’ll have figured something out.” In any case, the chemical plant’s tanks had to be emptied, because until they were, the plants couldn’t produce anything else. Besides, orders were orders.
    When Suvorov arrived at the plant, he joined a long line of trucks from other collective farms. After receiving his load, he followed them a few kilometers away to the banks of the Dnieper River, where the trucks were dumping the fertilizer into the water. The river was already covered with a thick yellow scum and dead fish.
    As he waited to unload, a black government limousine arrived at high speed. Party officials jumped out, ordered a halt to the dumping, and held a brief, animated discussion. After debating the situation, they concluded that the drivers had come up with the only possible solution and instructed them to resume dumping.
    The trucks kept hauling fertilizer to the river until the chem plant’s storage tanks were empty, officially fulfilling the plan. “

    You see, in a Capitalist society, we only set the river on fire after the fertilizer gets on the fields.

    We have an opportunity to start putting countermeasures and guardrails into place that will seemingly impede the efforts of the bad operators within each IC silo.
    Simultaneously, we need to identify who each bad actor is.
    We can see DNI Tulsi Gabbard working earnestly on this effort.

    This larger mission is the reversal of weaponization, and a restoration of representation that believes in freedom.
    I am both optimistic and clear-eyed about the nature of the challenges we face.

    As Devin Nunes is noting, the Office of the President is taking active measures to work around the intelligence agencies.

    This rogue nature of the intelligence apparatus is an example of how the CIA seemingly operates in places like Ukraine without President Trump or Director John Ratcliffe having any power over the activity.

    CANADA WAR EFFORTS

    Canada to join U.S. effort to train Ukrainian troops


    Canada to join U.S. effort to train Ukrainian troops
    By Murray Brewster The Canadian Press
    Posted April 14, 2015
    (more war efforts new, today by Carney)

    OTTAWA – Canada will send 200 military trainers to Ukraine, joining the U.S. and Britain in an international effort to shore up the eastern European country’s battered and bloodied combat forces.

    Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Defence Minister Jason Kenney announced the long-anticipated move Tuesday at National Defence headquarters.

    The troops will join American and British soldiers early this summer, and the mission will last until March 31, 2017.

    Harper says Canada’s latest military contribution addresses a number of requests from the government of Ukraine, and is being provided to help the country in its efforts to maintain sovereignty, security and stability in the face of Russian aggression.

    Most of the Canadian trainers are expected to be housed at an existing NATO training centre located in Yavoriv, in the western portion of the embattled European country, near the Polish border.

    However, some instruction will also take place at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence Demining Centre in Kamyanets-Podilsky, also in western Ukraine.

    “Ukrainian forces personnel will benefit from the highest calibre of training from the brave men and women of our own Canadian Armed Forces. Canada will continue working with its allies to ensure a sovereign, unified and secure Ukraine,” Harper said.

    The troops will join American and British soldiers early this summer.

    I do understand name changes.

    My mother was adopted at age 2 by her aunt and uncle who dropped her middle name, changed her last name, and changed her first name to her nickname. At age 20 she married my father, and added his surname. Around age 29 she changed every name before my father’s surname back to her birth names, and asked everyone to start calling her by her original given name. It was odd…but fortunately for my siblings and I, we simply continued to call her “mom.”

    After the divorce, I wanted to start performing in public again. I couldn’t do it under my ex’s surname (still my legal name.). It felt *wrong,* and this feeling distracted me from the focus of performing. At the time, I felt so disconnected from who I had been prior to marriage that my maiden surname felt foreign. I came up with a “stage name” so that I could feel authentic when I performed. I still feel uncomfortable when others use my legal last name, (ex’s surname,) and I plan to change it back to my maiden surname some time in the next year—it has taken years, but I have healed much of the divide from my pre-marriage self, and feel whole enough to make the change.

    My daughter is planning to drop her father’s surname and replace it with my family’s surname once she is 18.

    There are cultures where it is common to change one’s name at certain life milestones. In our culture, the only typical name change is that of women upon marriage.

    Obama’s mother called him by the surname of her new husband. Vance’s father abandoned him. These sorts of things can cause identity crises. One of the ways that this may be navigated is by changing names.

    Col Jaques Baud is interesting in that he has this distinction between force and violence, putting lipstick on the pig of force, pretending that force is not just organised violence. Was Vietnam force or violence? Were all the middle east wars force or violence. Governments, and their employees, like to justify their use of violence as somehow superior to other peoples’ use of violence, so they label other people as terrorists and label themselves as the good guys. It is an interesting faux distinction that enables these people to pretend that the violence they used in the past – murders, kidnappings etc – were “force”, hence they were okay, as force is good when used by governments. Violence is the mob, the unruly, the uncoordinated, so if you murder someone in a coordinated fashion you are not being violent, you are using force. Kind of does not make sense when you look at pre-meditated murders in jail; did they use force or violence?

    In the cambridge dictionary (yes, they are all corrupted) we have the definition of force as:

    physical, especially violent, strength or power:
    – The force of the wind had brought down a great many trees in the area.
    – She slapped his face with unexpected force.
    – Teachers aren’t allowed to use force in the classroom.
    – force of numbers The police were able to control the crowd by sheer force of numbers (= because there were more police than there were people in the crowd).

    We all know that force can only be enforced by acts of violence. The colonel is trying to excuse his own sordid past.

    “Given that in the past years, the EU and its Member States have provided hundreds of billions of Euros’ worth of support to Ukraine, we find Ukraine’s actions, which severely threaten the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia, completely irresponsible,” read the letter, signed by Hungary’s Péter Szijjártó, and Slovakia’s Juraj Blanár. Ukraine did not officially acknowledge striking the oil facilities. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/08/22/hungary-and-slovakia-demand-eu-action-after-ukraine-hits-key-oil-pipeline-again

    We really need Russia to attack us! Simplicius, Desperate Euro-Elites Suggest Boots-on-Ground Even “Before Ceasefire”
    The entire ‘ceasefire’ charade has in fact turned into nothing more than political posturing given that all the involved sides are much too far apart to tangibly come together in any significant way. So in absence of that, only the political side remains as potential harvest for some kind of advantageous position.
    Europe has been again retreading the ‘security guarantees’ and ‘boots-on-ground’ red herrings, but this is old, beaten laundry with too much mileage on it to come to any real use anymore…
    ..Lukashenko recounted how he warned Trump on the phone to not pressure Putin, precisely because Putin is not susceptible to making decisions under duress…
    ..Getting back to the ‘maneuvering’ phase of the ‘negotiations’ games, Trump has now stated that after his new two-week deadline is up, he may impose sanctions, tariffs, or “do nothing at all”…
    ..The more the Eurocrats screech and squawk in their aimless charade, the more powerless they look, and the more credibility they lose in the eyes of their own populace. Yet it is with their ‘iron assurance’ that Zelensky now continues to maintain his fanatically maximalist approach, bluffing his way toward catastrophe for Ukraine: in a new ‘Ukrainian Independence Day’ statement, Zelensky even promised to return both Crimea and Donbass to a “reunited” Ukraine. Europe is writing a check for Zelensky that it will not be able to cash…
    ..Lavrov finally demystifies the issue of Putin meeting with Zelensky. He states that a meeting can theoretically happen with Zelensky treated as ‘de facto’ leader of Ukraine. However, the issue of his illegitimacy would ultimately have to be resolved for any real agreement to be signed. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/desperate-euro-elites-suggest-boots
