Pablo Picasso Massacre in Korea 1951 • The Awakening – Look Carefully at This Picture (CTH) • Putin Reaffirms Readiness For Unconditional Talks
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle April 27 2025]Russia holds all the cards.
The USSA holds nothing.
Trump has to drop Ukraine but hold face.
The longer Uraine resists Russian terms, the more territory Russia takes.
Trump even said this silent part out loud the other day.
All this other song and dance is bullshit, spun by bullshitter.
It is to Russia and the USSA’s advantage to cripple the EU to the point of collapse.
The EU is Frankenstein’s Monster
It deserves to die.

@ V. Arnold
Thanks for the comment,I would consider the last worthy occupant to be Franklin D. Roosevelt whose 4 terms had no visible hand-basket of his economic state, a los wee Willie Clinton and harridan wannabe. Roosevelt’s ‘New Deal’ basically ended with L.B. Johnson’s exit from politics which he was penultimate master of (Tip O’Neil being the last to moderate Ronnie Ray-gun’s political and economic delusions – YMMV). Risking sounding like someone old, the country has gone to hell in a hand-basket since.
All the best…

Changes in Definition and Measurements
A normal distribution
Because the normal distribution approximates many natural phenomena so well, it has developed into a standard of reference for many probability problems.
In a normal distribution, data are symmetrically distributed with no skew.
Most values cluster around a central region, with values tapering off as they go further away from the center.
The measures of central tendency (mean, mode, and median) are exactly the same in a normal distribution.Autism spectrum
is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication.
It also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior.

Once you recognize this pattern of deception, two questions should immediately arise whenever major stories dominate headlines…The pattern of coordinated deception becomes unmistakable.BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE AND JOSHUA STYLMAN
Once again, Julian Assange isn’t a well man and praising Frank Jorge Bergoglio confirms Assange’s condition. Acording to the dbs The Chief of The (((One))) of the Mostest Powerful Religious Organizations on Earth wasn’t the organization to provide Assange’s Sanctuary in One of Its, well, many many many Sanctuaries. Church Sanctuaries are not places for non-Communicants to practice politics, who said so?
On to The Governator Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Why was this Jew permitted to make Political Hay for the Toothless, Spineless, Ineffectual 2 Year Grand Jury Bombshell Investigation into Child Sexual Abuse by Catholic Priests in 6 Pennsylvania Diocese and…….
……not demand “reparations” for the victims out the sale of Saint Peter’s Basilica since The Policy of Official Coverup Continued Right Through The Reign of Frank Jorge Bergoglio. Pope Frank Jorge had His Cardinal’s back that of The Laicized “Uncle Ted” McCarrick, laicized for buggering children and priest novitiates.
Shapiro laid the “responsibility” on the supposedly bankrupt, local parishes and dioceses.-
“we can’t pay” they said. “We have no money” they said. “And anyhow you have no witnesses” they smiled. “Here take this $78,000” they offered. I smiled “But you haven’t been listening. I’m a witness. I saw Clarice in Fr. Pierce’s rectory.”
Another 7 years passed since Josh Shapiro’s Revelation. He’s been promoted from Attorney General to Governorator right through candidate for a presidential ticket.
We all can recognize Assange’s excuse, cPTSD or reactive psychosis or organic brain syndrome. His attendance at Bergoglio’s funeral is proof of nothing.
What’s your excuse?What about Clarice? Is that an obscure enough allusion for you, you monstrously stupid shit?
I still think it might be Trump’s greatest act of Leadership to have signed The Pardon that Obama authored for Assange. Bar none.
Wait?!?!@DrDRich
I try to agree with you about the capture of the Vatican by the bad guys and you respond by calling me a monstrously stupid shit, and then allude to someone named Clarice witnessing an undescribed event in Fr Pierce’s rectory. All other related facts (if any) are apparently still stuck somewhere inside your headbone because you haven’t shared them and consequently there is no way anyone outside of your own private universe can piece together what the fuck you are talking about.
So yeah, Doc, those allusions are more than obscure enough for me. Feel free to get back to that silently screaming argument taking place inside your noggin. I’m just going to leave you be until you want to talk about it.

What is the national debt?
The national debt ($36.22 T) is the total amount of outstanding borrowing by the U.S. Federal Government accumulated over the nation’s history.Replacing personal federal income tax with federal sales tax
Please recall that sales taxes are generally regressive, because lower income folks spend a larger percentage of their incomes on items that are taxed by sales tax. The exception would be luxury taxes. Those in the lower two income quintiles — the folks paying little to no federal income tax, and often getting tax refunds on top of that — are often families with children or other dependents (elderly, disabled, etc.). I get the idea that perhaps the bottom two quintiles would be more upset at what the federal government does if they were paying for it and/or not receiving federal handouts…but simply shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to the bottom two quintiles is not going to improve the situation. I seem to recall the Princeton study about how federal policies that the majority of the US desires are not likely to be implemented, while policies desired by the wealthiest minority do tend to be implemented. I suspect THAT is one of the greatest reasons for apathy regarding the federal government in many of those in the bottom two quintiles. The problem is related to the fact that the wealthiest have the money and connections to influence lawmaker and policymakers. Shifting the tax burden won’t change that because the wealthiest will still be positioned to
bribedonate.phoenixvoice – bravo – you sum up the problem!

you beat me to it as I was reading!
if the 4th estate was properly muckraking AND the electoral process was sufficiently free of fraud (multiple huge presuppositions) then we’d see some real change.
in the past 2.5 decades, I have often reflected, if the multi-trillion budget for wars/espionage in the middle east were directly taxed at the gas pump, how many workers would vote for pro-war candidates.
Maybe it would help IF awful policy decisions directly affected the common man and woman at the gas pump, at the grocery store? Part of me absolutely cheers to have consequences come home to roost on people who never bothered to even understand. Then again, only if they actually had a real say.
If the government actually did real accounting – the kind of accounting that would not land you in jail if you were an LLC or sole proprietorship – then it would be, what, 150 trillion, 200 trillion in debt at this point?
$-150,000,000,000,000.00?
The crisis in the West is that power and accountability must coincide AND DO NOT. Wherever power DOES coincide with responsibility, it “must” be eliminated!
The people with the real power are fucking INVISIBLE. I would not even know who to address any petition for complaint or redress. They are not interested in any discussion.
On the other hand, parties expected to “man up,” make things fair, fix things, etc, are held responsible, accountable WHILE having no power- or even, them having power would constitute a huge ick
I had an accounting teacher who recounted a tale of a job within corporate america, of getting a very bad review affecting any prospect of bonus, pay raise, or advancement. He was told his accounting was no good. Not efficient or effective, wasteful.
So being an accountant, he pulled up the entire expense report. Said “okay, how about this?” doubled his own salary, which was on HIS OWN report! Supervisor said no. But surely he is being judged on things within his control?
Tried crossing out expenses, certain employees, etc – supervisor said no.
He explained that anything on HIS performance report had to be within HIS power of control. Fucking REMOVE all the line items not under my control, motherfucker. Management did not comprehend. Your costs, Sir. Bad performance!
Perhaps this is the primary crisis of our age – that the same parties are expected to be both rendered powerless AND totally, completely responsible. …which is an impossibility.

“Vladimir Putin and Donald J Trump are mutually aligned entities in a fight against western intelligence services. That’s the core understanding that must be at the forefront of any review or intellectually honest analysis of what is taking place.”
I’m glad this is moving up the Overton Window. Even if very slowly.
““it is not only reasonable but necessary to push back on some elements of the US proposal, as it gives Ukraine practically very, very little. And Russia a lot..”
• Kiev’s Backers Pushing Zelensky Toward Land Concessions – WaPoDuran points out they will wait out Trump, so they just need the war to continue a few years. What’s another million dead? So count on anything here to be stalling actions, which is why Russia is only allowing final actions.
“• Trump Demands Kiev Sign Minerals Deal ‘Immediately’ (RT)
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky is “three weeks late” in signing a minerals deal with the US, President Donald Trump has said. In a post on Truth Social on Friday, he demanded the agreement be signed “immediately.”
Trump is talking to Americans.“• Russia Says North Korean Troops Helped Liberate Kursk Region (RT)
How many? 500? And is Kursk considered closed yet? I hadn’t heard.
“I think he wants control of the canal.
• Trump Demands Free Passage Via Suez Canal (RT)I’m sure. Who doesn’t? But we could ask another question: we could have bought every barrel of oil in Iraq for less than the cost of war. Yet no one minded. It’s never mentioned even now. Because it wasn’t about HAVING the oil, it was about DENYING the oil to others, i.e. China. Thus the canal.
““G4S secures US embassies around the world, guards airports, government agencies, and military installations for both Washington and London, and even monitors sections of the US border.”
And then you have CrowdStrike (Ukraine) and Israeli IT security firms. I cannot fathom how idiot CEOs or the Army would let them within 10 miles of the building.

Problem is it’s hard to tell. How much is too much shuffling? When should someone be promoted? Too soon? Too late?
“The fall has been so stinging that Elon is stepping back from politics to focus again on bolstering his company and reputation.”
No he’s not. He literally can’t be in “politics” – that is, as a day job – in like 30 more days. Clearly this had nothing to do with it. Also the narrative “They do it to line millionaire’s pockets” is in direct conflict with “They lost billions almost overnight, in the world’s most obvious outcome.”
““There is no board of directors or management team who will ever again feel comfortable relying on China for a major portion of their supply chain.”
Yes, and we’ve told them that for 40 years, but these things take time.
Rogan, sure looks and sounds AI.
Taxing: sure but I’ve followed every taxing method over the years. In a fit of pure illogic, no matter what is proposed, it is claimed it is Tax cuts for the rich and tax increases for the poor. Flat taxes, consumption taxes, progressive taxes, all taxes. How?
At the same time, they report that almost all taxes are paid in the top 10% and the bottom 50% pay nearly nothing. How is this not “Taxing the Rich”?
What I hear is “This system is terrible” followed by “That’s why we can’t change it.”
What I don’t hear is “Oh my GOD the amount we’re taxing is STUPIFYING! We could build out Mars for the amount we’re collecting each year! It would seem we have a SPENDING problem, and those are super-easy to cut!”
You have. A. Spending Problem. …And none of it is productive or necessary, so it would take 30 days to stop.
