Duran today totally forgets it’s all the United States’ and Donald Trump’s fault. Well, it’s an odd-numbered day. Today Europe exists and has responsibility for themselves. Until Midnight, London GST. Then it’s our fault again. I can post the link (on Europe and riots) but nothing worth it.

He’s not Ultra-Left, he’s just average Antifa. But I accept your premise. Let’s re-assert that people who burn government buildings are again “Ultra”. He’s some white guy. College. True believer. Eternal Revolution.

“ His record was clean until an appeal court convicted him of violence against a police officer at an October 2024 protest in Guéret,”

Same as Minnesota. Allow dozens of small assaults first, where there are no consequences, and then graduate to burning black neighborhoods and running over policemen with cars.

Noting that although here in the U.S. they are pointing at 70-year terms for Antifa, those very few shot at police officers, openly, knowing, with great pre-planning, as they opened the police side door facing the woods, iirc. So yes, that’s not Protesting, or even Rioting. But is that the Police’s fault because they refused to arrest and prosecute 100 smaller crimes where they then thought there was no law? Of course not, but you see my point – this could have been avoided.

That’s why we have Law for 5,000 years, and I refer you to GK Chesterton “Before you remove a fence, you might want to find out why somebody put it there.” That is from the raging murderous bull standing in the next field. Who is predictably going to gore your -ss to death.

“Jacques Derrida, the French postmodern theorist,… pointed out in his 1993 book Spectres of Marx….that the glorious proletarian future predicted in Marx’s writings does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist, but that it still exercises a weird power over the imaginations of Marxist true believers, as though it existed in some sense. He described it as an “always-already absent present,” and proposed a new branch of philosophy, “hauntology,” to deal with such unreal realities.” — Archdruid

Happy Halloween. Because it’s never worked anywhere, over all time, even in small tribes, means it’s going to work perfectly this time. Yes we do need a name for such a mental illness. Show me.

But Macron just said he approves of their protests, their anger, and their methods! What gives, man?

“The pillager class is very similar. You can take them out of the global ghettos, bring them to your home and give them every opportunity imaginable to improve their circumstances, and yet, they will always choose thievery and barbarism instead. The only thing that might change is the complexity of their crimes.” “These people aren’t thankful for the opportunities handed to them. They believe they are entitled.”

A type of narcissism, ego-inflation.

Unlike Ayn Rand, the problem isn’t THAT these people exist; it’s what you DO with their existence. Like any family if there are rules, consequences, order, their gradient of lesser-forward thinking, right down to the truly violent or retarded can largely still be channeled to productive ends. Money has worked very well for doing so, as it’s both an immediate cost and reward, and a future one. But obviously, if I need to emphasize it, it’s not stopped if you wear a suit. Gordon Gekko is a Pillager Class, obviously. Millions of the working poor are Productive Class. So you need to contain the top sociopaths as well as the bottom. I’m not sure which we failed, certainly both. That’s not “Them”, their fault: you all abdicated your known duty.

When seen as The Resentfuls, the Fatal Envy, you can suddenly understand the worldwide Red-Green Alliance, even as Green will immediately expel the Progressives and Socialists and kill every gay, stop all Progress, the second they get the upper hand. — This was seen in Michigan (?) where the Muslim radicals got the upper hand on the City Council and immediately removed the Gay Pride flag and trappings. The Left are so self-absorbed and dumb they said “Why would you do that?” and started a lawsuit. YGBFKM. The Judge referred them to their own case, a year before, where it was established from the Normal Americans that they could remove the AMERICAN flag and hang the Gay Flag, as they had that right. Instantly that “Right” was used against them. And this is true. And in some sense harmless to learn at this point. But demonstrates the process.

If there were only TWO members left on earth, they would also be Resentful and attack each other. Because: Pillager Mindset. Instead of each creating more, which is Producer Mindset. And I find it stupefying that other Producers can’t understand not everyone is like you. Y’all need to talk to a lot more criminals and low-lifes in your life. I don’t harbor ill-will toward them, but I can’t permit them to roam free either because if permitted they will arson everything they touch, killing everyone. I can jail them for THEIR safety, as well as everyone else’s, even if it’s my safety last (the dutiful are the ones making waves and drawing fire). However, if you do not – as every culture on earth over all time would put a hatchet in their brain – then it’s just “Law of the Jungle” sleeping with your finger on the trigger of a warm gun every night. Why. And I can also say “Every culture on earth over all time” EXCEPT ours. We try to jail them over and over again and avoid it in an excess of Charity and Mercy to them. I argue that makes us the BEST of all time, not the worst, but others may disagree.

“Elon Musk has confirmed that Ndiaga Diagne, the 53-year-old Senegal-born naturalized citizen who opened fire outside a downtown Austin bar in March and killed three people, was a former Tesla employee at the company’s Gigafactory Texas.

Months later he carried out the attack while wearing a “Property of Allah” hoodie and an Iranian-flag shirt.”

Again, shouldn’t he be in jail from the original assault, so not out walking the streets with guns?

He had a prior criminal record that included a 2022 hit-and-run reduced to a misdemeanor and later dismissed after probation, as well as domestic violence allegations.”

And again. And again. And again. You want Justice? Or Mercy? “If only we forgive everyone everything and hand over the keys to pure evil” the Pope says. That’ll work.

US Preparing for More Strikes on Iran: Using “Leave it to Bibi” to Pass

US “Project Meridian” — A Symptom of American Decline, Not a Solution
Brian Berletic, October 12, 2026
The creation of “Project Meridian” is not a path to US military superiority but an admission of its own weakness, rooted in a financialized system rather than a technology gap.

US “Project Meridian”

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently announced the creation of the 120 day task force, “Project Meridian.”

On the US Department of Defense’s website it says the project aims, “to secure America’s long-term military superiority by identifying the capabilities required to achieve absolute technological dominance on the next-generation battlefield.”
At face value, the initiative serves as a further symptom of the US’ terminal decline rather than any sort of path toward “long-term military superiority” or “absolute technological dominance.”

The necessity of the project itself is an oblique admission of current and growing US military weakness — increasingly on display amid US wars and proxy wars worldwide in which US weapons are both falling behind in capabilities and quantities.

The stated path the project seeks to take to address this growing military weakness — “leveraging the nation’s premier private-sector innovators, business leaders, and technologists” to “discover and accelerate the fielding of advanced systems” — ignores completely the fundamentals of the US system which is directly responsible for this growing weakness and dysfunction relative to the rising multipolar world and especially China, in the first place.

This is precisely why the interests in the US today, benefiting from decades of financialization and the monopolies it militarily enforced, are so determined to prevent the success of nations like China and so desperate to leverage unprecedented technology like AI to make sustainable a system that is in reality entirely unsustainable
The idea that future technologies and “wonder weapons” can somehow restore US military power around the globe in the face of a rising multipolar world order ignores the pressing fundamental questions regarding why the US seeks to project military power worldwide to begin with, whether it is necessary or not, and whether it is sustainable or even possible to do so.

The Root of the Problem

The “private-sector” — large corporate-financier monopolies predicated on the perpetual pursuit of profit and power (driven by shareholder primacy) and which have captured and control US foreign and domestic policy toward that end — are what drives the US’ global military presence and the “need” for “long-term military superiority.”

The multitude of wars, proxy wars, and potential wars the US is instigating at any given time around the globe are aimed at eliminating any obstacle to the power and profit of this “private-sector” and to implement the coercion of and control over nations and regions the US has already successfully subordinated.

Thus, this military power is not used to uphold the legitimate national security of the people and territory of the United States — but as a means of undermining and overcoming the national security of other people and territories abroad.

Proponents of US primacy would argue that if the US did not seek global primacy, others would — a false premise based on an interpretation of “realism” hat assumes all people and nations are driven by the same sociobiological need to “dominate” as the special interests and the system they’ve created in the West.

Back in reality — nations currently exist in parallel to the US with the ability to project military power globally but have deliberately chosen not to — including both Russia and China — and only develop and use military force in reaction to US encirclement, encroachment, and aggression (by proxy or otherwise).

The systems of governance and economics in nations outside the West are likewise built from the foundation up in a fundamentally different manner — one in which the rational nature of humanity — not an inherent sociobiological desire for dominance — guides nations and their policies for specific people-driven purposes (accessible healthcare and education, modern infrastructure, etc.) rather than solely profit and power.

By doing so, these nations ensure access to wealth and influence, but in a sustainable manner — the difference between hungry chimpanzees in the jungle stripping bare fruit trees and humans who have learned to grow and farm for food. Both are driven by hunger — one chooses the most direct (and ultimately unsustainable) means of satisfying that hunger — while the other chooses to leverage ingenuity to overcome natural limitations on available food supplies.

If nations do not seek to threaten the US — or even develop the capabilities to do so — this means the entire premise of “Project Meridian” is based on not only a wholly unnecessary imperative, but one at cross purpose with international law, endangering global peace and stability. There is an added irony to the growing military and economic crisis consuming the West — it is created by this unsustainable and unnecessary pursuit of global primacy — not by some threat the rest of the globe poses to the West or the United States.

Project Meridian Built on Fantasy, not Facts

The “advanced systems” the US imagines it will “field” to achieve “long-term military superiority” may consist of technology the US is capable of developing, but not at a rate faster than the emerging multipolar world, and certainly not at the scales nations like Russia and China can deploy them at.

Project Meridian and all other attempts to address the US’ dwindling military advantages have not only refused to examine the necessity of their imperatives, but refuse to face the insurmountable nature of their objectives.

The monopoly the US enjoyed over technology post-Cold War and throughout the early 21st century has convinced policymakers of some inherently superior quality within the US system or among “Western” peoples rather than despite it.

Co–directing the project will be Elon Musk of SpaceX, Palmer Luckey of arms startup Anduril, and career politician Newt Gingrich, along with other academic, policy, and industry “experts.” Both SpaceX and Anduril exemplify the fading advantages the US had enjoyed for decades in terms of technological innovation and military power.

SpaceX’ Starlink and Star shield satellite constellations have provided useful, but not insurmountable advantages to Washington’s Ukrainian proxies amid war with Russia.

Anduril — created specifically to reverse the growing disparity in quality and quantity in US military hardware versus Russia and China — has failed to leverage AI (artificial intelligence) and software-defined manufacturing to close the growing gap. This is primarily because both Russia and China are already using both technologies in their vastly larger and more efficient state-owned enterprises to develop and manufacture similar or better weapon systems.

Anduril’s drones in particular have proven such a failure in Ukraine that Ukrainian troops refuse to use the systems being transferred to them.

What Anduril has achieved, is the production of weapons at slightly cheaper costs than traditional US arms manufacturing monopolies, with a slightly faster innovation pace — but still falls far short of Russian — let alone Chinese — prices, capabilities, and of course quantities.

Newt Gingrich — the third “co-director” of “Project Meridian” — is a career-politician and vocal warmonger who has contributed to the very system creating the US’ current decline in the first place and has no discernible intentions to change.

If the US does not possess an inherently superior ability to innovate — either because of the composition of its population or the manner in which its political and economic system is organized, and no intention of changing that system — no project of any kind organized to “study” and implement a path toward continued domination and superiority will succeed.

Because the people co-directing “Project Meridian” are examples of the sort of deficient thinking contributing to the US’ decline, failure is only further guaranteed.

What “Project Meridian” may achieve is the streamlining of an inherently inferior system, putting off but not avoiding its ultimate displacement by more viable alternatives. It may also serve as a means of disrupting the global economy and thus the basis upon which Russia, China, and the growing multipolar world are building more viable alternatives — the equivalent of a criminal planning to burn down a rival business because of their inability to compete head-on with it.

Even if the US acknowledged the limits of its profit-driven system and made the decision to radically transform it into a purpose-driven alternative — while it might manage to eclipse Russia in terms of innovation and industrial production — it would still face extreme disadvantages vis-à-vis China — possessing a fourth of China’s population, thus a deficit in trained manpower and a vastly smaller industrial base.

There is also the reality that a purpose-driven US would replace its financialized Ponzi-economy with one tied to actual production — and thus would no longer be required to seek out, confront, and eliminate productive systems abroad — but would instead seek out to cooperate with them.

The Approaching End Game

The US cannot compete with nations like Russia and China which exist as functioning, productive nations, prioritizing industry and the national workforces required to maintain it, through gimmicks ultimately subordinated to an unproductive financialized Ponzi-economy.

Because the very interests benefiting from the financialization of the US have captured and controlled America’s political system, media, education, and all of its essential industries — a discussion about transitioning from financialization to production can’t even take place, let alone take the first step toward making the transition.

Only with a collapse at home in the US of these interests and the system they created, together with the success abroad of productive alternative systems like China’s, Russia’s and many others will it be possible for Americans to enjoy the same benefits of billions of people abroad — modern infrastructure, affordable healthcare, accessible and relevant education, and thriving industry for employment.

This is precisely why the interests in the US today, benefiting from decades of financialization and the monopolies it militarily enforced, are so determined to prevent the success of nations like China and so desperate to leverage unprecedented technology like AI to make sustainable a system that is in reality entirely unsustainable.

Because of how unlikely a breakthrough in AI or in other frontier technologies is to empower the US in a way other superpowers could not immediately replicate or surpass, it is much more likely the US will use its remaining strength to “overturn the game board,” destroying the existing global order multipolarism is building itself on top of, in the hopes of emerging out the other side of deliberate worldwide chaos in a position of advantage.

The word finds itself at a critical inflection point — where technology, industry, and innovation can either lead us forward away from our worst natural impulses — or turn us into prisoners of them. Only time will tell whether the multipolar world is prepared to ensure the former, or if the special interests driving the US will manage to reimpose upon the world (including upon Americans themselves) the latter.

“Finally a German politician admits the war in Ukraine is the EU-NATO’s fault:

So they finally admit what TAE said 2014. A decade ago. Free Speech. And we would have said it far earlier, as it was obvious back to Soviet Times, but nothing brought it to our attention until then.

“People don’t have enough money to live on, all the services are crumbling in Europe, and they want to cut back on hospitals and schools. There’s no money in Europe to continue funding Ukraine.”

But he approves of all that. Or am I mistaken and he wants to Drill Baby Drill, open mega refineries, and close every border tighter than a frog’s rear end? Yeah, probably not. He’s MI6 topknot to his toes, and betrays every (irish)man he can find for London. Twue Wuv.

“For years, Democrats have used the machinery of government as a club against anyone who crosses them.”

Not entirely, but you have the “Big Government” vs “Small Government” problem. A government small enough to drown in a bathtub can’t march around tyrannizing people. Especially if they’re heavily-armed. Only the Left can.

“Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.), who sits on the Natural Resources and Veterans Affairs committees, made no secret of where this is headed. She lumped Musk in with “the well-connected billionaire, trillionaires who have seen government contracts as a way to subsidize their own company’s research, development, and bottom line.”

Yup, totally. Musk is the most MICMAC of all companies over all time. However, they usually can’t pillage the people and the Treasury ENOUGH to hand out to Government, what gives, ma’am? It’s almost like you don’t have principles. Remember the EXTRA $40B Democrats gave Trump in his term one budget for the Police state? He didn’t ask for or want? Oh yeah: they TOTALLY believe Trump is Hitler. Totally real. That went to Musk as well as he hadn’t flipped at that time. That was Tuesday when everyone HAD to buy a Tesla or be shot, before WEDNESDAY, when IF you bought a Tesla you’d be burned or shot. #Logic.

“This isn’t oversight. Democrats may call it that, but this is revenge.”

Submit or Die. You thought I was kidding these 18 years I’ve been saying it. I thought it was some dum guy, but it was a DNC SENATOR, said she promises to track down every child who ever met Trump and fabricate charges against them. Wow. I mean: we know, but thanks for making it clear and quotable for the election. You’ve been attacking children non-stop since Gamergate, 2014.

Like Zelensky, we all know Kallas isn’t a real human being, really doing or running anything. So WHO? Let’s dispense with the finger puppets and talk to the real people, K? This is goofy and beneath us all. It’s like you have Mel Brooks as King, or Charlie McCarthy, Jeff Dunham and we’re supposed to address the puppet as if it’s real and you’re not crazy.

“That doesn’t mean they’ll bend to Kiev’s wishes even one inch.
• Russia Willing To Resume Trilateral Talks With Ukraine (ZH)

Guarantee they won’t. Why should they? They are setting the terms of surrender and the after-state. But it won’t be accepted at this time, just getting them accustomed to the ideas.

“It seems this is a Kremlin ‘thank you’ to Trump for doing the diesel deal, and for at the last minute waiving the sweeping Graham sanctions package, which outraged hawks and Democrats in Congress.”

Just a review on the “Graham Package” that Big Gay Lindsay got through. He passed “Bone Crushing” sanctions on Russia that the President could enact. ….BUT ALSO NOT ENACT. Do I need to repeat that? And you all fell for it and wondered why Trump backed Lindsay? Now we have to ask, “Did Lindsay ALSO know what he was signing?” Because sure seems hard to think he didn’t, he’s a JAG lawyer and all that.

So again, media reports it – you can borrow down every little thing – but the overall picture is the OPPOSITE of what they suggest. This is politics.

“Paddy O’Neil can sleep at night. He probably enjoys the irony. She’s not lrish, she’s English.” Jack Ryan He gave what you SAID, not what you WANTED.
Lindsay can give Trump the PRO-Russia, while keeping his word and image of being ANTI-Russia. Trump immediately moves on this law. Everyone is busy eating crayons and doesn’t notice.

“The conflict could freeze along the frontlines if the US coerces the EU and Ukraine into agreeing to the resumption of Russian energy imports through partially US-controlled pipelines while convincing Russia to agree to the deployment of European forces to Ukraine without the US’ Article 5 protection.”

Yes, but a DMZ/Frozen Conflict is a classic European win. Win win win for them, just like the Berlin wall. They survive, keep it going forever. Sad to say, but hopefully they don’t take it. The year has been filled with these “Offer incredibly generous terms” to Ukraine, Iran, Canada, knowing they can’t and won’t take them. Because 1) it IS the moral thing to do, and as the good guys you have to try, but 2) It reveals who they are. If Putin hadn’t given Ukr everything, 2, 3, 4 times, the mask wouldn’t have come off how violently Europe wants the war and to not help Ukr but DESTROY RUSSIA. That was an easier sell in Russia, but the REST of the world also needed to conclude that.

“Macron denies the rioters are muslims, foreigners: “They’re French”

Exactly the problem. I didn’t want to bring up. Sure “Millions must go”, “Millions” (and millions) aren’t even citizens, or false ones, but that leaves the MILLIONS WHO ARE. Their children. Who know nothing of their parent’s homeland.

Thanks to these Globalist Oligarchs, killing everyone. Even if they WENT home, to a nation they’d never seen, they’d be aliens there too. See “Captain America The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” 2021.

“Due to the catastrophic damage, this beautiful piece of European architecture is unlikely ever to be restored.”

Why would you say that? It’s a building, there’s nothing easier than restoring it. Take volunteers. It’ll be identical in a few years. S—t man, you have A WHOLE FRENCH CASTLE being built at Guidelion, with NO money. And it’s not historic nor an icon. Many cathedrals – including the recent one in Barcelona – take HUNDREDS of years. This is the “Can’t-Do” attitude Europe is now famous for.

Do no work. Give up. Blame others. That’s the Winning Way.

They’re awful at strategy though, Canadians must like to be abused: IF you voted “Leave” then ALBERTA HAS LEVERAGE. They don’t HAVE to leave, you dopes! There’s an encyclopedia of special carve-outs, some huuuuuuuuge, that Quebec has over Canada. Alberta could have gotten the equality they wanted and still not leave. The end.

No, no no no no. I couldn’t grasp this either. Think bigger: YES they had “a problem” with Starlink. StarSHIELD should never be used (although we know the Black CIA is defying orders there).

They shut off Star Link, IN THIS VERY SPECIFIC WAY. i.e. Speeds of over 100mph or something? Huh. That’s oddly specific. Yes, IT’S NOT UKRAINE. It was POLAND. ESTONIA. St. Petersburg. Ah. Got it now?

NATO is flying drones 1,000 miles to St. Pete, Kaliningrad, to start WWIII. HOWEVER they are there, whether ‘just launched” from Estonia, or on a mega-carrier drone which then releases the smaller attack drones, whatever it is, IT USES STARLINK. The U.S. knew, and shut it off. Maybe by “Hacking” their own systems, whatever, but that just tells NATO: “We See You”. And tells Russia “We’re still allies”.

Now what can they say? “Why did you shut off Starlink in Poland and Kaliningrad while we’re bombing them using Elon’s own tech to start a Nuclear WWIII”? F—k no!

Look, China, Russia: Awesome. Great. Tops. But they’re FROM THEIR LEVEL. China has huge internal problems and is on the mid-term downcycle. Russia is VERY SMALL.

” Trump Criticizes Ilhan Omar As A ‘Sick, Very Dishonest Person’”

Here is a sample Question to Claude using copy, paste – “Project Meridian” A short paragraph on paste info/opinion –

Berletic’s op-ed argues that Project Meridian is a symptom of US decline rather than a remedy. He says the Pentagon’s turn to private-sector innovators ignores the real problem, a financialized, profit-driven system that he claims pushes the US to project military power worldwide and can’t out-produce state-driven economies like China’s and Russia’s. He calls Anduril and SpaceX evidence of fading US advantages and Gingrich part of the problem. He predicts failure and suggests the US may instead try to “overturn the game board.” That is opinion and advocacy from a multipolarist viewpoint, and its sweeping claims (for example, that Russia and China only use force in reaction to US aggression, or that Anduril’s drones are rejected in Ukraine) are asserted without sourcing.

The factual core checks out. Hegseth launched the effort in a “State of the Force” address, with Musk, Luckey and Gingrich co-leading under Defense Department CTO Emil Michael. It is a 120-day study that will end in an unclassified public report. Mainstream coverage focuses on a different critique from Berletic’s: critics say Musk and Luckey would be recommending solutions their own companies already sell, and the Defense Department didn’t respond to questions about those potential conflicts of interest. Supporters counter with Hegseth’s argument that the best forecasters of future conflict don’t all sit inside the Pentagon.

The idea that future technologies and “wonder weapons” can somehow restore US military power around the globe in the face of a rising multipolar world order ignores the pressing fundamental questions regarding why the US seeks to project military power worldwide to begin with, whether it is necessary or not, and whether it is sustainable or even possible to do so.

Dear D:

You are suffering from a life of consuming propaganda that you are great and the best and on and on.

News alert: while you have been busy bombing people their bridges and financing rockets to space your country is collapsing not from immigrants but from corrupt oligarchs robbing and indebting the country,

Your so good and excellent that you have not managed to build a bridge.

Bridge replacement
Main article: Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement
Hours after the collapse, President Biden said that the federal government would pay for the entire cost of reconstructing the bridge.[263] In June 2024, the Maryland Department of Transportation accepted bids to design and build a replacement bridge by autumn 2028 at an estimated cost of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion.

“Another Hopeless Round of Shuttle Diplomacy Begins as West Grows Frantic to End Ukraine War” — Simplicius

Simplicius, who can’t be arsed to tell the truth even on accident, NO ONE IS FRANTIC, man. No one. Nada. None. Zip. That’s the horror of it. Russia looks happy to go another 100 years, Trump is merely a broker, Europe is doing all they can. None. AND: I remember saying this exact thing when Trump left 2020. Still here! Not Frantic. Not hopeless either! Just surrender: INSTANT WEALTH. All the oil you could use for 100 years. Riots stop overnight.

Nope. Not hopeless, no one is frantic, so I guess if you run Simplicius through an AI that REVERSES everything, you’ll be close.

We very clearly CAN. We basically took Venezuela without shot. (Details) We defeated Iran, a nation of 90 Million people larger than Europe in 90 days with 1/10th of our arsenal. Nothing has changed since then, we’ve been flying hot air balloons and Cessnas over them.

However! Yes: every other part of your paragraph, EXACTLY. Why would we? Why SHOULD we? In fact it is our open and declared national policy – since January 2017 – to NOT do this. To demobilize and come home. Which absolutely necessitates handing off all security to local forces, local SOVEREIGNTY, unless you want a collapse and regional/world war from our power vacuum. Unfortunately, that ALSO means we need to settle or remove major explosive points. Or points that specifically can attack us. We saw this in Trump I with NoKo. Remember all the “Little Rocket Man” stuff the media clutched pearls on and Kim Jong found hilarious? But we already had a worldwide nuclear war over that the media reported. …Wrongly again. Not a peep, all settled, all good! Huh.

Again, they CLAIM these things. AGAINST ALL PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, every public statement, all public policy, and every Federal and Military action we’ve taken the whole 6 years of this administration. You know what I’m going to say, say it with me, “We. Make. S—t. Up”. Ruthlessly, shamelessly, constantly, tirelessly, stupidly. Every day, in every way, making s–t up more and more.

Yes, WE the American People don’t want these things: never have. And it took 30 years but finally got an administration that – mostly – is doing what we wanted for 100 years: Ending Empire.

Uhh, yes? And I’m the one who forwards pics and videos of our zombie drug-addled ghettos, Detroit more ruined than Hiroshima, and that we spend every day from 1971 to 2016 liquidating the country? Was that me? Pretty sure it was. Like Tuesday I did that last.

“Hours after the collapse, President Biden said” Whoops! ‘Nuff said! He said something, so it was a lie. He was wrong.

We need a STEEL MILL, and then we need NO CORRUPTION. One of which is in Iowa, and the other is arresting dozens in CA and MN. ‘Yes! Until they arrest Biden’s friends and the Left, no bridge! What do you think I tell you every day and above, with the VA Senator? That’s the Bridge’s state, isn’t it?

I live under a bridge, I know all the drug-addled crooks and homeless here. Tell me all about it. There ain’t no Kool-Aid I’m drinkin’ — I can’t afford it!

Don’t you worry yourself a bit about me, buddy, when every town of every province for 3,000 miles is worse than mine, guy. You just lost the steel mill that MIGHT have fixed your nation, but now import steel from China in order to have no jobs at all. …And no ships. For one of the world’s foremost, perhaps THE most, sea-faring coast. If Carney gets a dollar worse, Newfies will be swimming to shore, and we already know that not only does PEI have no health care, but the bridge is seldom working there either. …Which they TOLD Canada not a build. Voted and ordered them not to. But how can you have multi-billion corruption without public works to hide it in? So they bankrupted Canada to the Banks to build a bridge no one wanted.

So just you nevermind about our bridges until yours are fixed, eh? Every day I point to Canada and you ignore your own business and your own sacred duty and attend to mine.

Dear D:

I hope your bridge is not bombed.

okay lets run a test on Dr. D many comments on [Debt Rattle October 22 2026 – The Automatic Earth](https://www.theautomaticearth.com/forums/topic/debt-rattle-october-22-2026/#post-253834)

Good. I didn’t know that you could do that.

Glad it was useful. The method is simple: I open the page, read the comments, search for outside evidence on the claims that can be checked, and separate what holds up from what’s rhetoric or unsourced.

It works on most public pages, such as blog posts, forum threads, articles, and op-eds. It doesn’t work behind logins or paywalls, and comment sections that load separately sometimes don’t come through, so pasting the text fixes that. I can also take a claim you’re unsure of from any source and check it, or compare two commenters’ arguments side by side.

If you’d like to keep testing, send me another commenter or a claim from the thread and I’ll run the same process.

NO, I’m not going to post Claude’s response/evaluation/challenge on what Dr. D says.
It’s revealing, educational, complementary and instructive.
Try the same Question with your A.I.

@ Michael Reid
I submitted your post … To Claude for his input.

The deficit-spending article is on Krainer’s Substack: htt ps://trendcompass.substack.com/p/why-governments-cant-balance-their (also at htt ps://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/why-governments-cant-balance-their). The titles differ slightly from what he wrote, so it may be a retitled version.
The Dmitriev video link wasn’t in your paste, and I couldn’t find coverage of his Istanbul remarks yet. The forum only began today, so I can’t confirm the “glorious” wording or context.
The chart images and the Aarouet comparison weren’t included in the paste either.

Claude’s final words …

“Overall, the post is strongest as a description of strain (French finances, transatlantic friction, the asset dispute) and weakest wherever it turns that strain into certainty about what happens next.”

AI use would increase my work and I have sufficient REALI to construct my interpretation of reality. I assess content to extract things of value in seeking truth.

My posts are things I have found that I am planning to assess.
