“THE FLESH-EATING PARASITE THREATENING OUR FOOD SUPPLY – WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STAY HEALTHY
We need a new government department and a “War on Screwworms”. Then we’ll have a 100 fold increase in them in 10 years and pay a Trillion dollars to make cows extinct.
“IRGC in turn says it struck 18 US military targets in two waves overnight…”
This is how we know there’s no war going on and Congress doesn’t need to get involved. A war isn’t when you’re shooting missiles daily, that would just be silly.
“…but for the Zombie Filibuster, the House-passed SAVE America Act would now be on its way to the White House…”
Every time Congress refuses this, it’s the world’s best advertising for the cause. And that every incumbent and RINO is removed. Or TRINO as Susan Kukinda says: “Trump Republican In Name Only.” Also it’s just a rule. Senate can overturn Filibuster rules, Thune has several options to do this in a few hours. Likewise like 28 GOP Senators can toss Thune. They don’t. “You had ONE job.” Again, this is excellent advertising to the American People about what’s really going on.
“New Arizona Law Targets Demand Behind Prostitution, Sex Trafficking
Bold choice from a state that does everything it can to increase sex trafficking.
“The history of elections suggests a Potemkin ballot: a public ritual of choice that frequently conceals prearranged outcomes driven by entrenched interests…”
Yes but only since Adams and Jefferson in 1796. Completely settled with John Q and A. Jackson in which they posted a third candidate to split the vote and keep their Eastern Oligarchy in. Jackson took it gracefully of course, like the gentleman he was. Good time to remember when Jackson approved UFC arena is on the White House lawn, hopefully Trump will bring a Semi of Beer like in “Smokey and the Bandit”.
Since all my textbooks hated him, I can only assume Jackson was on the Good side. Or rather in this way: Generals kill people, and there are times in history where a lot of the right people need killing. I mean, why would you dislike and disband banks when all they’ve done is print fake money, sweep up land that was already sold, now with two titles and mortgages, then sell it again after, while also changing the value, all protected by government? I mean, that’s just like ‘08 and nothing bad has happened since then, right?
I wonder if they’ve ever cleaned the MBS records and titles yet. Probably not.
He did put down the Eastern Oligarchy and returned the Nation to ordinary people voting. All this is mixed because John Q was unusually and surprisingly capable, moral in that sense, which is hard to fathom looking at oligarch kids for the next 200 years after. So it’s a mixed bag: get a good, well-spoken President that executes office but doesn’t rock the boat, or someone who is loud, brash, annoying, probably illegal and psychopathic but hits hard enough to stop the deadly drift. Your choice. Choose short-term nice very long-term fix.
“DHS Directs ICE To Deport Illegal Aliens Who Vote In American Elections
As every day: “DHS Directs ICE To Deport Illegal Aliens…” That’s it. That’s what “Illegal” means. So we need to pass a law to tell us to enforce the old laws?
I’ve got an idea: We jail anyone found voting for 1 year THEN deport them.
However Cullom had a good point: among all the broken Trump promises, about deportations. But you can’t send 5 ICE agents to deport every one. It’s just math. THERE ARE 20 MILLION of them. I bet it’s far more: they were always counting “Illegal” people they never saw. …How do you accurately count people you never saw enter again?
It’s possible for it to be 100Million. But 60 million might be better. X5 = the ENTIRE NATION could do nothing but donate weekends and after hours and not be enough manpower to deport them all.
So is this a Trump failure Dave, or just math? Suppose we did: no money, manpower attention for anything else. No, this is the right path. You can attack Trump for not bringing back horse and buggies which is about as equally possible.
Making them serve time, or fining away all assets would be at least a warning shot. Don’t break the law! Is that so %^@#ing hard?
Dutch Communism, 2028: Yay!!!!! Europe is completely dead with capital flight…to the U.S. Mostly. Because: China? Nope. Africa? Nope. Japan? Nope. It’s the only logical place for other Europeans to fly to.
…And thus the whole United States is saved. Thanks Europe! Thanks Communism. Let it never be said you never did anyone good.
“• Trump Warns: “We’ll Bomb the Shit Out of Them” if No Deal (ZH)
Stop. Who is the audience for this talk? Not the IRGC probably. Not the American people, probably. Think. Israeli people (voters), the Iranian population? He’s fully capable of saying specific things, this is very pointedly not specific, legal language. So who’s the target?
You can say “Because he likes bombing children” but. Really? Man, so sad that he likes bombing children then has refused to bomb much of anything for a whole month. So…who’s restraining him? Israel is? His own outsized self control?
TALKING IS NOT BOMBING, people. He’s been blustering about bombing he hasn’t done, so far, ever. Same as Iran is blustering about attacking us Sooper-dooper hard, somehow, someday.
If the war is SIGNALING, well we’re signaling the F—k out of this cat. Real weapons, not so much.
Oh wait, I forgot we nuked Tehran last month, which is why you can’t trust Trump with The Button, and we landed with a million men 95% of all pundits assured us on a stack of Bibles. We have zero. Now “Experts” predict more things and are wrong again and we repost them.
“49 Tomahawk missiles had been fired”
There’s a message in their numbers which I usually ignore as totally dumb. But wasn’t it 49 in Syria too, 2017? Just saying these are MESSAGES. Oddly. We don’t think of bombs being telegrams, but these knuckleheads do.
“The IRGC is now claiming to have struck 18 US military targets in two waves.”
Maybe, but we’re finding like in Ukraine that they’re all drones which have the firepower of a pop gun. An M80 firecracker, if you hit it with a stick away from you, it’s harmless. So now we have to ask WHAT EXACTLY? An Oreshnik? Or a Bic lighter? WHAT hit these places. Now did they take out a dozen F35s? Show me, it’s not on the news, I see no reactions that indicate we’re that kind of mad. It’s easy to say things when no one can be discredited.
“US Central Command said that its forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today”
Weird self defense. And here I thought Savannah was 5,000 miles from there. Iran’s constant aggression…in Iran. Like when the EU said Russia wasn’t allowed to train and move their army within Russia.
““Wherever necessary, our armed forces will respond to the enemy with authority.”
Trump’s comments came after the two sides once again exchanged strikes,
Except there are three sides. Or four. The Civilian leader resigned, the Ayatollah is dead, and so there is the IRGC and “Iran” who are different. The “IRGC” is divided into 31 parts so as not to be beheaded—their long term plan. But that strategy has this drawback: there is no longer an “Iran” at all, Just factions who don’t talk. If you call our side two sides, but also The U.S. vs Israel. Etc.
“It’s all he can do?! Is to shorten the timeframe.
• Trump ‘May Keep Going’ With Strikes As Iran Took ‘Too Long’ With Deal (ZH)
Why? Again if I were Trump I’d LENGTHEN the timeframe. Why deal? Who cares? What they’re doing – treaty or not – is getting Iran to light up their radar and missiles, then removing them. That’s it. With no resupply, that’s the end. Now commenters “Just Say” that Iran is ordering new missiles on Amazon and flotillas of cargo ships are happily unloading all over the coast. Dropping them on front porches in Amazon trucks. Uhhh…no? So far as we can see from satellite, f—k -all is arriving? They’re in a total blockade (an act of war). The also have no money? Without China and Russia seriously shipping into them by land, they’re screwed. If they were we’d bomb the bridges and locomotives.
“If there’s one thing Donald Trump doesn’t do, it’s let himself be humiliated,”
Watch the endless fascination with being Humiliated. I do not understand the concept. You either win or lose, like, actual things. “Humiliation” is Signaling, which is illusion, perception, the essence of unreal.
All 8 Billion people are Panicking all at once. All 8 Billion are humiliated. Huh?
Much as I despise the tone, I think he’s essentially correct about Israel, the options, good cop/bad cop. Question is: How much? How much of each? How much does any side control? We don’t know, they pay intel agencies a billion dollars to report and find out. I don’t have a billion dollars. I think it’s 1/3rd of how much he suggests, but not untrue.
“Donald Trump could be eager to sign an awful deal,”
“Trump is supposed to be throwing in the towel, yet the towel never gets tossed.”
“the clock is ticking, but for whom?”
For us as all oil and banking flows re-route to Texas. Very sad.
No. Don’t. Stop.

“You might not agree with Trump’s strategy, but he has one.”
Thank God they’re such idiots they keep saying Trump has no plans. Nothing could be easier for Trump to win then. Like 5,000 times in a row. If he has like only two plays in the playbook, then also he has one Motto or approach, and this is it. And if he’s dumb with only one tactical approach they’re way dumber that they can’t grasp it.
“• Former MI6 Spy Alastair Crooke: Iran Takes Its Chances With War (RPI)
Ah. That makes sense when we talk about London and Fox News pundits. We know everyone on MSNBC are all retired CIA, but we don’t watch England as carefully for same thing: Retired generals now selling weapons for Raytheon. Retired MI6 Crookes, pushing points on TV.
“suggesting that the “deal chaos” is not a singular glitch by Trump confined to the Iran issue, but rather is a consistent pattern of dysfunctionality repeating itself across virtually all of Trump’s “peace” initiatives.”
Like so. And how we are daily at war and bombing Russia and Venezuela because he hates peace so much. Oh wait: the #Opposite. We have no Peace initiatives, which is why Abraham Accord was signed in his first term, an epic plan or success.
“the true objective of the 28 February US-Israeli sneak attack was never regime change per se — aiming to swap out Iranian “hardliners” for a “Delcy Rodrigues”-style more moderate leader; but was intended rather, to bring about Iran’s complete destruction and fracturing — an insight that was bound to shift Iran’s calculus.”
Ding Ding Ding! Yes. Iran’s STRATEGY was to be 31 parts that can’t be beheaded. Okay then. Then what? We LET you be 31 regions, and…?
Yes, now you’re not a country, are you? You’re a county. Not that we wouldn’t have loved to get a coup, regime change, collapse, whatever, we are working from Plan B to Plan ZZ. This is just Strategy 101. Like ask any Army person what is the very next thing they would write in a policy document, it’s this. There’s no “Outside the Box”, this is as checklist, inside the box as is possible to be. Experts still can’t understand it, like moving pawn E4.
Got it? Okay, add this: The Coast by Kuwait with all the oil isn’t “Persian”. It isn’t Tehran. It’s Arab, a different people, and you can shave off that 31st region into a new nation. …If you want, or are lucky, etc, although I see no evidence of this yet. Just saying, “Oh, there ARE actually options.” Tehran is safe in the granite mountains VERY FAR AWAY from there. They can’t be got, but they can’t project power to Kharg and Kuwait either for the same reasons.
Details, not crayons.
“• The IPO Boom: Where Will the Money Come From? (Michael Lebowitz)
Short answer: Margin. Where all money comes from. He’s not wrong about rebalancing though, and it will have an impact. Also “they” get “the memo” that “They” won’t let it fall…meaning they WILL let it fall after they’ve made cake. This happened before in the last crashes, they have some options to levitate and delay, although it’s not free.
“Elizabeth Warren is calling for the SEC to delay the mega SpaceX IPO.”
Warren attacks everything all the time as part of her professional extortion racket. That’s why they had the Consumer Protection Agency, to be Vinny and Tony and break kneecaps for her. No? Note that ALL drug money in hundred billions runs through there. Fargo was creating millions of fake accounts and bouncing checks against them, and: No protection. You have to PAY for protection, citizen. You are the meal, not the diner.
SpaceX being worth more than All companies combined – just as Tesla was back when – shows how out of like the market is and we have no price discovery. In decades.
“TRUMP RESTARTS IRAN WAR, ECONOMIC COLLAPSE INEVITABLE”
My living Lord. Either it never stopped, or it hasn’t started. Pick one. You’re just making things up. Here give me a chart of TNT equivalent week-by-week. Nothing. We’re way, way, way down from early on. Nothing has started at all.
Economic Collapse IS inevitable. … Someday. Do you mean in the next 10 years? Five? Five days? When? “We just say things.”
And that collapse will be in EUROPE it seems, not here. Now all pan-Europe collapsing WILL harm us and shut markets, but if the drop a nuke on THEMSELVES daily, that’s inevitable. It’s not “From Iran”. It’s not “From Trump”. If a guy wants to commit suicide it’s vary hard to stop them even though it will have fallout on us.
“URGENT: Iran’s RETALIATION Begins – Missiles Hit Jordan After US Attack on Iran”
Did anyone notice?
Resource/Famines: If there’s no resource wars or famine will you pay me $1,000? What does that mean? Is there famine now somewhere? I was promised this 1,000x in the last 20 years. In fact we lost some toilet paper for a few months.
“Ultimately, if money is a “claim on goods and services” it is, in reality, a claim on the energy required to make these things available.”
I mean yes, and I say that all the time. However, all the real things still exist too. As I note from the Depression, all the rails, mines, farms, cars, power lines all existed unchanged from 1925 and 1935. Yet we were “Poor”. Huh? We had the same houses and jobs. Poor how?
Here it’s the opposite, you’re calling it a “Claim on reality” and well-taken. However, we do the opposite of the usual and lop one zero OFF the banknote. Usually we add a zero, 100 zeros, until it’s 1Billion Zimbabwe per egg. Here we lop a zero OFF the banknote.
We have the same country, with the same roads, rails, factories, etc. Exact same wealth everyone is using just fine today. What changes if, say, there is a Paper-dissolving disease and some fungus eats all the paper, all the titles and claims to it. Anything? No, Farmer Brown drives the same tractor to grow the same food. Claims are irrelevant.
This is what I say when “China refuses to buy US Soybeans!” There are X soybeans on Planet Dirt, and Y people to eat them. Every soybean will be eaten by someone. Trading around WHICH soybean is irrelevant.
The claim question IS relevant and it DOES cause collapses, Depressions. I’m just setting the baseline: Why? Why should it? It’s optional. Voluntary.
The easiest thing is to PROSECUTE CRIME. Then we re-allocate the goods of the criminals back to the people, and no one is poor anymore. If not, they can serve time if they won’t pay fines, I prefer it actually. So all this money “Rich people hold” is indeed fake. And it’s also illegally acquired, mostly, as they got it in a crooked casino. That’s not hard to prove.
Although executed incredibly badly, this is what FDR did, holding Capitalists in a bucket to make the people not go full Communist Revolution. The Capitalists fought him tooth and nail.
“there are clear financial incentives to push the world into chaos, and to reap the immense profits to be made on war”
FDR then did this. We don’t know what the deals were, but it seems they got the British Empire to force us to war, we did, then we attempted to end and unseat them (quid pro quo when the war ended), which we sort of did with British post-colonialism and Suez Crisis. However, London/Europe went a layer deeper underground in control and back-conquered us from within (as with OSS, Paper Clip). I’m just saying FDR may have been a bastard, but was also aware, and made a 50% play at screwing them and righting the ship. They killed him and took over anyway, but slowly. So good guy or bad guy? He was pushing in the right direction but could only do so much…like everyone else does. How do you score card that?
“War is a Racket”. Yes. But is it OUR racket? Who specifically?
Ran out of time.
