ParticipantRegarding ‘Joe Biden’ and his supposed Freudian slips, I well remember him ‘Accidentally’ commenting in an interview before the 2020 election that ‘We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.‘
And so he did.
Of course, according to the ‘Fact Checkers’ he never said that, and even if he did he meant the exact opposite.

“Watch: Trump & Musk ‘Break The Internet’ As EU Censorship Czar Issues Explicit Threat
Similarly, seeing the same thing: set up expectations and structures that allow Europe to have sovereignty over the whole planet. That gambit is being made now. Can’t speak in Bolivia, Louisiana, or you will be extradited to Essex. Sri Lanka has to obey the exact environmental edicts of Sweden. Or here, the EU will close markets – and clearly confiscate all corporate property within grasp, Russian or no – to follow European laws that are illegal even in Europe. Even if you’re an African-American multi-billionaire.
IF they were the leverage: the U.S. was a collapsed clown world basket case following the same psychopathic rules – which we half are right now – then India, UAE, might have to obey to accommodate them and keep their market. You can see the world is humoring them, and the United States is slavishly obedient to almost all they say. However, if they do NOT have market leverage, and there ARE alternatives, then the world will NOT obey and accommodate them and they will be ring-fenced behind their own Berlin Wall instead.
And note, people don’t think of it that way, but the Berlin Wall was an ECONOMIC structure. Russia was fighting the monetary sapping of their economy, hollowing and collapsing them since 1944. Social culture went with that, tied together. “Which is to to be Master – that is all” as Humpty Dumpty said.
London, Europe, are COLLAPSING. They are therefore trying to, needing to, establish dominance and extract resources from everyone else to survive. Not hard. Nor is this unique to them: because of history but especially our tying to the Wars (II), we are right behind them on the cycle. As Lindsay Graham said, Ukraine has that $2 Trillion (or whatever, they’re making it all up) in Lithium. But really it’s oil and Gas off Crimea or off Gaza or wherever. “How did OUR gas get under THEIR country again?” We have a inverted Exeter’s Pyramid of quadrillions in essentially pure fraud, as I said yesterday, all resting on a tiny actual collateral. Most of which isn’t even ours at this point, it’s in Niger, Africa, Donbas. The PRINTING, the runaway printing of an exponential interest has to keep going or collapse, called “Liquidity”. However, even at 100:1, now like 300 or 1,000:1, they still need COLLATERAL, both by their own internal rules, or also for any plausibility even in a society that permits any level of lies, fraud, and corruption. To run a jewel heist, there still has to be a jewel, somewhere, ultimately.
As I ran through that for years now, that Jewel was destroying all Libya, setting up a slave market, stealing all the gold and oil. It was wrecking all the other Arab Spring countries. It was extracting Argentina. That was too small, so then they needed to take Syria and Saudi Arabia as Tommy Franks said. They need to take Iran, they need to take Ukraine in 2014. …And then they need to take Russia the only nation big enough to provide the now towering and tottering collateral. Or China. Ever, ever larger countries to fill the Wendigo MOAR. And that’s it: change systems to utter totalitarianism, not Capitalism, everything directed from the top, collateral no longer needed, because it’s not “voluntary”, it’s all backed with raw violence.
But they did NOT get Syria and her gold. They did NOT get Saudi and her oil or position on the same gas pipeline. They did NOT get Ukraine, only thought they did. They did NOT get Russia and are certainly not going to get China. They can’t even get the Gazan Gas field and (fake) collateral for a canal they never intend to build.
So they did NOT get the collateral, they, and Lindsay Graham require.
Sure. But my question remains: when is any of it ever going to matter?
“Tech mogul Elon Musk should be threatened with arrest and detention if he refuses to censor right-wing content on X, the platform’s former vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa has suggested.”
Europe. Making the point on Europe. Hey guy: what’s “Right Wing?” No really, any definition will do. Who decides and what court or arbiter do we turn to? Remember how I said, when you have a story with no details, no facts, no evidence, no information, you were lying? Well you have no definition, no details, about this either.
“Again how is this not the biggest story in America right now?”
What story? Did something happen? Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. And the blood in the bathroom? “Officially” – or unofficially, as no one has bothered to issue an official report of anything yet – the blood was from an “Operator” (overheard on radio) that is, a friendly. I think I even heard what name earlier; this was all covered a week ago and is being covered again. Now why can’t we just know his name and what happened? Did he cut himself getting on the roof or was he in a movie knife-fight with a 2nd shooter?
Again, what comes up with this, like Cheatle and the roof slope, is that they knew they need to LIE before anything had been investigated. Like they know there was only one shooter, no accessories before his body was cold. Since you haven’t looked at ANYTHING yet – you don’t even know where the shells are, nor searched the property – HOW did you know that already? A: Because you’re LYING. And funny, WHY are you lying, when you don’t know what happened, what lies to tell? Lying is an ACTIVE state, you are lying TO do something, accomplish something, get somewhere, hide something. You can’t know it’s incompetence because you don’t know who, if anyone, was incompetent yet. No, you can only lie because you DO know.
How can you know? This wasn’t planned, how would you know anything, you didn’t even know there was a shooting today? Oh, so you knew there was a shooting today, AND you knew something about it, enough to know there was something to cover up, and you knew IMMEDIATELY, which means you knew beforehand.
Got it.
Not noted in the above article: so was Crooks ever able to hit anything on the range? Or did he suck just as bad as in High School? Was he wearing a dress and earrings to the range, or dressed as a 14-year-old boy like the only picture anyone can seem to find of him? He was like 21, can someone find SOME current picture of him? His parents maybe?
Olympics? Silver and Gold? With silver being preeminent?
Surveillance Ad: Yes, but look at the bodycams all over. Didn’t matter a bit, just like we said. Every time something happens, the cameras always “happened to malfunction.” Just like the bomb sitting 18 hours at the DNC. Like Jan 6 footage, and like Butler PA right now. A lot of footage is out, sure. Why does the camera clips stop and start at these times? So the camera only means they withhold evidence, illegally, to cover up an illegal arrest, and you thought that adding a camera to a crooked policeman would mean they would stop breaking the law? NO! They are going to use it against you, then anything FOR you will be erased. Fool.…Just like we told you. Fool. You wanted to rely on technology to compensate for your missing courage and morality. Sold! Now we installed a technocratic state with no courage or morality.
““With Republican fundraisers agreeing with the presstitutes that the election is a toss up, the election is perfectly set to be stolen. And it will be.”
As I say regularly. Why are you helping? Why? Because if they accuse the system of lying and it’s 90:10 Pro-Trump they’ll say he’s crazy. We no longer associate with what is true, only with what people BELIEVE. That is, their confirmation bias.
“Does America have warriors, or only submissive wimps?”
And what would you like the warriors to do? Shoot people? The system likes violence. It WANTS it. It’s encouraging, demanding it. Doing anything it can to make it, even do it itself. Is it doing this so it will lose? No, it’s trying to fight on its own turf, with home field advantage. How about we DON’T shoot others? We can always have a nationwide Civil War and shoot everyone until it looks like Ukraine, 1.5 Million dead, tomorrow.
“• A Harris-Walz Administration Would Be A Nightmare for Free Speech (Turley)
Compared to….? “If we don’t look out, something might happen!”
“Harris shushed the demonstrators, telling them “I am speaking now.”
Someone pointed out, that’s Liberal (White) suburban woman behavior. Like “Weird”, that’s something they respond to but no one else does. In fact, they find it stupid and off-putting. So Democrats are fighting for the white woman vote, their core constituency? In fact, their only constituency? I’m thinking, what’s the Meta on that? That they don’t even think they can win their own core base? Or they’re un-strategically wasting time on votes they already have, like Hillary campaigning in CA not MI? And they’re doing it in a way to win Karens only (not other women) but therefore alienate everyone else at the same time? What?
A little of all, I think, but because they’re in the world’s largest fart-bubble. Sniiiiiiiiiiiiff.
What does this mean overall? Basically, as has been suggested but hasn’t developed to a fine sharp point until now, the Democratic Party is Female. It’s the Matriarchy, approaching things from a female part, and this is highly arranged and promoted. They drum out all non-female candidates and destroy them wherever found, for instance. And you see that in the statistics now over time: like 80% of young women are Democrat (99% in my experience, maybe of all ages). And 80% of young men are Republican.
I can’t say the GOP is male or Patriarchal – in fact, CLEARLY that is not true. CLEARLY they highly promote Candice Owens, MTG, heck Maggie Thatcher or whoever. However, they are historic so they are more of it. In fact, they are incredibly Progressive. So the Patriarchy is pro gay marriage, I guess? Has no internal promotion of things that might not only seem patriarchal but are really baseline practical, like child credits or stay at home moms? Nope. A vague background noise might encourage that, but it’s nowhere in the official party. They are not “The Patriarchy” in any meaningful way.
So maybe they didn’t expect it, were setting up a race war, but really they’ve set up a gender war instead, dividing every household and breaking up every marriage or relationship. Good on ‘em I guess. Where’s it all headed? As we see, for reasons I can’t fathom, breaking up your marriage, losing your job, being unsafe in the street or bathroom, and watching your kids go hungry is not enough to discredit “the Matriarchy”. …Not for women anyway. It requires death itself? Because I can’t imagine where you go up from here. What limits it and makes it swing back to the center? Only collapse and a distasteful re-domination by men? Well I don’t see that anywhere, nor any men with interest in it.
“a “government efficiency commission” … Musk would be ideal for such a role.”Yes, his core competency is spending the government’s money.
“Just between the two armies you’ve lost half a million people…”A lie, and why? It was 700k before Russia kicked it up to 1,000 a DAY several months ago. It’s over 1M now, and +100k Russians, maybe even 200k. What does he get out of lying? If he quoted the true numbers his point would be even stronger, and if the press latched on them, there’s little fallout.
“killed three children and injured ten others in a stabbing spree in the town of Southport late last month”
Again, three were killed and they arrested the 700 people who were AGAINST the stabbing? Against stabby-stabbings in general? You’re arrested for marching for anti-stabbing? ‘Cause that’s what I’m hearing. To be real about this, nothing to do with the stabbing. Duh. Obviously. Starmer needs this level of control installed and level of terror arranged for when they roll out the London Corporation 2.0 replacement of (not having any) collateral. Just like we swapped US$ gold backing for oil backing, then for war-and-murder backing the US$ in 2001? Starmer is swapping to Violence-backing his nation here. If his violence fails, his nation falls. The Government, not the PEOPLE, as the People are eternal.
This is of course the same here: all the leaders and institutions are “Atlanticists”. That is, they are pro-European and anti-American in their outlook. So they are trying to install the same “Violence-backed currency” here. That is,, aka, the CBDC, “Social Credit Score”. The definition of Nazi fascism, where the SOCIAL pressure is used to Unite the country under great leader for glory. SOCIAL pressure is how Church, State, Corporation even CAN be untied into one: that they have the Uni-Future, with the Uni-Outlook, for the Uni-Party, all into one perfect Ego: ME. Only when everybody is the same, exactly like me, can there be peace.
“President Joe Biden uttered an interesting Freudian slip when he said that “if Trump wins” the election he’s not confident there’ll be a peaceful transfer of power.”
Glad this is doing a second round as it happened last week. So many of these key revelations just vanish. I don’t see how that’s a slip, There’s no base-statement that makes any sense he could slip from. That if HE, Biden gets in, there will be no “Transition of power”? It only makes sense as a direct, factual statement, which it is. That can only mean Democrats are violent, which they are. (well, some are, and the others enthusiastically approve)

“• American Stasi: Tulsi Gabbard Confirms “Quiet Skies” Nightmare (Matt Taibbi)
This was a long-form interview to miss, with Martensen and Boghossian this week. Chris was like, “So we know they will go after, dox, slander, arrest, smear, pull licenses, of even ultra-low level doctors on minor subjects. And their wives and children. So how much more to stop a PRESIDENT who promises to go in, fire them all, and drain the swamp?” And Boghossian, even as HE brought up this example, as he researches and reports this all day long, goes, “But the Secret Service TOOK AN OATH of protection…” Head. Slap.
They Took an Oath? Really? THAT is the level too far for you? Chris said, “Can we agree, we send wet works, worldwide, shoot, bomb, terrorize, extradite people ‘over there’?” Yes. But it’s a level too far for those same people, trained the same way, moved between the same institutions MIGHT do this ‘over here’?
Yes, but that’s too far: that would be against American citizens, so that would be illegal. I. Kid. You. Not. So criminals don’t do crime because it’s illegal? Well praise be to Jesus, we’ve found the solution! We’ll pass a law nobody will break! A gun law or something!
Yes, THIS is the state of reporters, intellectuals, “abstractors”, people who field in abstractions all day instead of say, engineering bridges and digging with arm loaders. And as Martensen said, “Once you withdraw to abstractions, EVERYTHING is justifiable. Everything.” As we well see each day for 40 years, so he and I agree and have a similar outlook on it.
Anyway, that’s the state of your reporters: nobody could have shot Trump because that is against the law. Nobody in USSS could have arranged it, because that would be against MORE laws. Therefore, no sense in investigating that line, because it’s de facto impossible. Both impossible to do and impossible to think of. Sorry, I’m speechless.
I guess you’re all going to die then.
“suffers from severe psychosis with symptoms of paranoia and obsessive-compulsive megalomania.”
I guess in the same denial as Boghossian, so does every other leader. To a greater or lesser extent. Do you not understand that government is a Mafia, we’re just trying to get the BEST mafia for our money? That’s what Federalist Papers said. Oh you want a Gandhi or Jesus Christ who if they bombed our country wouldn’t bomb them back? So you DO want that? Okay then, we’re only choosing what LEVEL we bomb back. And Nutsy is an outlier, no one has ever seen this level, at least never in modern history, Hitler and Stalin included. (And Churchill in India). But he’s just the far-far-extreme of the same type. Reagan, for example, shelling Panama for no earthly reason. (but overall was very quiet and in fact ended the Cold War).
“Who’s in charge, anyway?”Like other reporters, you finally asked? Not curious before now? Here’s a corollary that may be more important than you think: How come we don’t already know who’s in charge? What makes you think Nutsy is at all in charge? If he’s in charge he’s certainly not making much by it: his country is failed, he’s reviled worldwide, and is under siege and under arrest. That does not sound like a man in charge. Clearly Congress and the President are not in charge, as they are not telling Israel what to do. I’d say vice-versa except that we’re going to double-cross Nutsy and not support him, just as we did Ukraine.
Here’s an idea: we grew up in an orderly, hierarchical world: what if NO ONE is in charge? Everyone is just agitating for their interests in a multipolar world? Wouldn’t that be a good thing?
I actually think there’s a group trying to be in charge, and they have known, semi-uniform goals and methods. You can tell this because their behavior is rational and orderly. Insane, but orderly.
“• Incursion Into Russia Could Spell Doom For Kiev – ex-Austrian Official (RT)
It is hard to tell, Alexander was circling this issue yesterday. As he was informed this would happen 2 months ago, which means Russia (his source) knew 2 months ago. But, yes, it has to be because “NATO Planned it” right? Best bet, they were moving things at the front. Pinned down the front line, that made this area slack. Then the U.S. said they’d bomb inside Russia, so Russia moved their hard-troops back. When that happened, they heard noise inside Ukraine about taking advantage of this soft spot in their line. Russia then helped a little bit. Again: this HAS to happen to set the next legal level to take all Ukraine. A bit sus, no?
Okay, on the ground, what is it? There’s the nuclear power plant, that is good leverage and hard to shell, but kinda large, don’t you think? And far away? Guess what? It is rumored there is something far closer, a nuclear bomb and missile holding facility somewhere on the route. You know, like a Minuteman silo base thing. Now can you imagine having to break only this ONE door, take out this ONE force, and then have a shootable Nuclear warhead, tactical, and the Kinzhal missile to fire it on? Or even sell that tech to the ‘States?
Now you’re talkin’. What else? This is exactly what they said Prighozhin was taking with his “Coup”. Not Moscow, NOT moving 100k troops within 30 miles of Kiev, but to take over just ONE Russian nuclear weapon holding facility. THAT is what the CIA paid him $6B to do. The same one even? So I detect a theme.
So if you were staging these 5k crack troops, your core Nazis, you still have OpSec problems. “What’s the mission, boss?” “We are taking over a nuclear site.” Oh, that makes sense. Except it’s not THAT site, the power plant, except as plan B or C. It’s this closer, smaller holding bunker. …You’ll tell them on the way, suddenly detach 2/3rd of your troops after feinting it’s the main plant. Right?
But who cares? They suck, they’re incapable of anything, they have no power, and they failed. Now Russia can counter attack, and it’s possible and likely these Kursk guys were the troops defending Kiev as why not? If it fails it all goes down anyway.
“The worst-case scenario for Kiev would be a defeat both in Kursk Region and Donbass, the expert warned.”
They are priming the Press for this collapse, and have been for about a month, via this kind of story and the Rothchild mouthpiece “the Economist.” And NATO. Failing failures who fail. But they are NOT following the obvious implications of that. Heard a story on Worldcom, because lately CEOs like Intel have been quoting the Bible (que?) In Public. (Que?????!!!) Last time anyone remembers that happening was the collapse of Worldcom, just before everyone in C-Suite was arrested, in mass. As the CEO said this, the VPs were all like “What are we going to do?” “Meh. I guess we’ll just pray like he is. I’m sure it’ll all work out.” Hahahahahaha! What are you kidding? You only “Pray” when you’ve already determined there is only a 10% chance anything will ‘work out’. Otherwise it will be business as usual. If you’re Praying, now is the time to grab a parachute and suitcase of money and go on the lam. …As proven there when they were shortly arrested.
Point? So in Ukraine, the Economist is “signaling” the same thing. As their moral duty and to retain credibility. Not my fault if you all were too stupid to read the full implications of a total Russian victory and Ukrainian collapse, right? So the Roths, etc get the best of both worlds: “I told you”, while also knowing nobody will sell at the top and do anything and selling on them, selling them out. First bank robber out the door gets away, right?

Stop any, their little corner of it, their mere $30M grift in the dept of paper clips to F-Stan? Which they already committed 1,000 felonies to arrange? Yes. An ARMY of men, ALL of them, thousands and thousands, each operating independently, unable to guess, and cumulatively leading to not just war, but MORE war. ADDING war. Shooting anyone who even SLOWS war.
Like Assange. What’s he up to lately? He indicating his new troublemaking project yet?
“To fill the gaping hole of military expenses, the official claimed, Ukraine will have to fall back on unpopular measures such as cutting spending, selling state assets, and hiking up taxes..”
You’re kidding, right? So their plan to get richer is to sell everything and get poorer? These Socialists, I can’t take it. You get richer by focusing on PRODUCTION. You PRODUCE things. Shells, cars, with ORDER. Things running smoothly, people happy and paid and showing up to work on time. They cannot even ONCE conceive that they would have to MAKE anything, DO anything, with hard work. It’s: Steal stuff: sell it. Steal MORE stuff: sell it. Steal the LAST stuff: sell it. And then??
Same here. If you took ALL the money of ALL the billionaires in billionaire-saturated U.S. you couldn’t cover the deficit for ONE year. Even if you dropped down to the double-millionares you couldn’t do it. “Tax the Rich”: what are you kidding? Or really, really, really bad at math? You’re SPENDING TOO MUCH because Ego-desires are always infinite. People wanting free money are always infinite. But production is not. “Work” is not.

Meryl Nass MD makes the point that each of us can help others every day. The unacceptable is happening and the authorities blow it off, to numb us. De-numb!
Drones hit Europe’s largest nuke plant, while Israel bombs public schools, starves and expels 2 million Gazans from their homes. Britain attacks the poor and Canada assists its citizens to die.
Please no more numbness. These are crimes against humanity. While in the UK, the government has made war on the population for tweets and posts, refused to police crimes, surveilled the citizens incessantly, closed city centers to cars and generally made life miserable.
It is the Supranational state against everyone else. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/the-unacceptable-is-happening-andDesperate for Escalation, Zelensky Bombs Zaporozhye Nuke Plant in Frustration
First: it can be said that this act of desperation was a strong signal to Zelensky’s own “partners” in the U.S. and the West. I predicted long ago—last year—that once things finally grind down to the gristle for Ukraine, Zelensky would have no choice but to begin threatening his partners through escalation to save his own hide. He would threaten not only pushing Russia’s red lines in unnerving ways which would pose the threat of nuclear annihilation to the U.S., but as a last ditch effort he would also float the threat of unveiling many secrets and ‘skeletons in the closet’ of his Western partners as blackmail.
But what’s happening now is in effect a double nuclear blackmail. Not only was Zelensky trying to reach the Kursk nuclear plant for this very purpose, but has now acted out his furious frustration at the ZNPP, as well. It’s difficult to know for certain, but captured AFU POWs have in fact now attested to the Kursk plant as being the objective, or Kurchatov, the town where the plant sits. This was supposed to have been reached in the first day or two, which now appears to have been a miserable failure being covered up by more antics.
But getting back to the second point. I believe the ZNPP strike was also a double threat toward Russia. ZNPP may be currently inactive, but Kursk is in operation, and Zelensky likely meant to send a symbolic message that the Kursk nuclear plant may be “next”. In essence, it is saying: “Be wary, the Kursk plant is in my sights. This is just the first demonstration of my seriousness.”
But why would Zelensky threaten his partners as well? The obvious answer is to shock them into providing more aid and committing totally to Ukraine’s victory. “Give us everything or we’ll take the entire world down with us in a ball of nuclear flame.” Funny how much similarity there is between Zelensky and Israel, what with their Samson Option and all…
.. A tertiary reason for Zelensky’s desperate dash into Kursk could be to deliberately nix negotiations, which much of the West is increasingly pushing on him. Just like his coeval of Netanyahu, Zelensky is trapped in an escalation spiral for survival, forced to continue the war at all costs to stave off his own loss of power, which would be followed by him being thrown to the wolves. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-81124-desperate-for-escalationJohn Leake, The Pitiful Death of John Bull
For most of my life I believed that England was the cradle of free speech and individual liberty. With its Magna Carta, Common Law, Parliament, and long tradition of free speech—and explicitly defending free speech—going back at least as early as John Milton’s pamphlet “Areopagitica,” published in 1644, England was long personified as a jolly, good-humored, plain speaking man named John Bull. While people who lived on the European Continent were subjected to royal absolutism, John Bull stood for “English liberty.”…
..Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about John Bull—or more precisely, his pitiful death—as multiple friends have sent me videos of Englishmen being arrested in their homes for the crime of “posting inaccurate information on Facebook.” [video at link] https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/the-pitiful-death-of-john-bullAlex Krainer, The slow dying of American democracy
DNC’s selection of Harris as the party candidate is proof positive that they plan on cheating and stealing another election. Will the American voters shrug again?
The “special relationship” between United States and Britain seems to be turning American democracy into something that increasingly resembles its former colonizer. The metamorphosis has been so slow and gradual that it’s been difficult to recognize it for what it is…
..This year, the party boldly skipped the primaries altogether, anointing the staggeringly inept and even more unpopular Kamala Harris as the party’s candidate. So far, all this has elicited waves of shrugs and feeble protests from much of the voting public.
The obvious question is, why. Why would they choose such a dismal candidate as Harris, unless they were planning to cheat again and steal the 2024 elections? Evidence that they are already doing so is already piling up. Fake polls show Kamala is as popular as Trump, and a few bizarre videos and photos of her political rallies emerged over the recent days. They seem a tad inauthentic:
[see below]
Whatever the case may be, they got away with epic election fraud in 2020 and so, what’s to keep them from doing it again in November, even more brazenly this time? If the people acquiesce again, will the practice of getting deeply unpopular politicians with almost zero public support into office become the U.S. democracy’s new normal? If so, this would be just the fake democracy that’s been perfected by Great Britain.
The fact that the American political system seems to be evolving toward the model of its former colonizer, Great Britain is very significant. It suggests that like Britain, the U.S. is being ruled by a hidden oligarchy. Behind the establishment’s self-serving facade, Britain is not a democracy at all, and that fact is obvious once you scratch below the surface.In his 1966 book, “Tragedy and Hope,” professor Carrol Quigley had much to say about the British political system.
Quigley wasn’t just any old college professor: he was a trusted insider in the Western political establishment and a mentor to the future U.S. President Bill Clinton. As a privileged member of the Council on Foreign Relations, he was allowed to peruse their archives (which are strictly closed to the public and to most CFR members) for two years which enabled him to write one of the most eye-opening accounts of our modern history (1890-1965). In fact, when the establishment finally understood the revealing nature of “Tragedy and Hope,” the book was abruptly withdrawn from sales and all remaining copies were destroyed, together with the printing-plates.
Here’s what Dr. Quigley had to say about the British political system:“…the greatest difference between Britain and the US rests in the fact that the former has no constitution. This is not generally recognized (p. 461)”
“… many of the relationships which are covered by conventions are based on precedents that are secret (such as relationships between monarchy and Cabinet, between Cabinet and political parties, between Cabinet and civil service, and all the relationships within the Cabinet) and in many cases, the secrecy of these precedents is protected by law under the Official Secrets Act… (462)”
“It is seriously stated in many books that the Cabinet is responsible to the House of Commons, and controlled by it. In truth, the Cabinet is not controlled by the Commons but the reverse.” (463)
[This should sound familiar:] “The fact that there are no primary elections in Britain and that party candidates are named by the inner clique of the party is of tremendous importance and is the key to the control which the inner clique exercises over the House of Commons, yet it is rarely mentioned in books on the English political system.” (463)
“There is also no separation of powers. The Cabinet is the government and ‘is expected to govern not only within the law, but, if necessary, without law or even against the law’ There is no limit on retroactive legislation, and no Cabinet or Parliament can bind its successors. The Cabinet can enter into war without Parliament’s permission or approval. It can expend money without Parliament’s approval or knowledge… It can authorize violations of the law, as was done in regard to payments of the Bank of England in 1847, in 1857, or in 1931. It can make treaties or other binding international agreements without the consent or knowledge of Parliament…” (469)
“The idea, widely held in the US, that the Commons is a legislative body and the Cabinet is an executive body is not true. Legislation originates in the meetings of the inner clique of the party, acting as a first chamber. If accepted by the Cabinet it passes the Commons almost automatically. The Commons, rather than a legislative body, is the public forum in which the party announces the decisions it has made in secret party and Cabinet meetings and allows the opposition to criticize in order to test public reactions. Thus all bills come from the Cabinet, and rejection in Commons is almost unthinkable…” (469)
“It is not generally recognized that there have been many restrictions on democracy in Britain… effectively curtailing the exercises of democracy in the political sphere. (470)” [things got a lot worse since 1966]
“Since the two chief parties in England do not represent the ordinary Englishman, but instead represent the entrenched economic interests directly, there is relatively little ‘lobbying,’ or attempting to influence legislators by political or economic pressure. (477)”
This is only a small sampling of verifiable facts…..If such a large proportion of people are willing to believe absurdities, why should the DNC stop cheating? Why not steal elections again and then brazenly state that they were won fairly and browbeat anyone who questions that as Vladimir Putin’s useful idiot? …
..Fortunately, today the facade around the British political system is crumbling, revealing Britain for what it is: a neofeudal oligarchy, still deeply attached to its colonial past, still keen on “ruling the waves,” and still contemptuous of its subjects. https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/the-slow-dying-of-american-democracyAugust 13, 2024 at 2:10 pm #166262John Day

Does anyone remember the 2020 presidential campaign? Trump campaigned widely and had massive audiences. Enthusiasm was everywhere. Biden ventured out of the basement a few times and no one attended his campaign rallies. Trump got more votes in the 2020 election than he got in the 2016 election, but Biden got more votes than any president in history. Somehow the people elected an invisible candidate.
In the swing states vote counting was stopped in the middle of the night while truck loads of boxes arrived, some from out of state, in Democrat controlled vote counting centers. The votes were almost entirely for Biden, and when counting resumed, Trump’s lead disappeared.

ParticipantSurplus Energy Economics, Dr. Tim Morgan Whatever happened to progress? ECONOMICS AND THE INFLEXION OF CIVIL SOCIETY
Economic growth is an integral part of this narrative. The modernization theory of history proposes a link between economic expansion and the progression of social and political liberalism, the proposition being that economic growth and liberal democracy advance hand-in-hand.
As society gets richer, it also gets more civilized, more liberal, more democratic, more humane, and more equal.
Perhaps the highest statement of this thesis is that history came to an end at the start of the 1990s, when liberal democracy and the free market economy achieved their final triumphs over the collectivist economics and political repression of the Soviet Union.
On the downslope – life after history?
Subsequent experience has not been comfortable for the modernist school of history. Since the ‘victory’ of the early 1990s, even avowedly “democratic” governments have become ever more coercive, and ever less tolerant of dissent.
The basic precepts of the market capitalist system – freely-functioning markets, and positive real returns on invested capital – have very largely been abandoned in the interests of perceived expediency.
Increasing concentration of corporate power has been accompanied by worsening inequalities of wealth, income and opportunity. Security of employment has been undermined by the rise of the “gig economy” with its “zero-hours contracts”…
..We can cite many other instances of social regression that have occurred since history supposedly reached its triumphant conclusion at the start of the 1990s.
The point, though, is that none of this was supposed to happen in the enlightened, post-history societies created by the final triumph of liberal market democracy.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that the modernist historians are wrong.
A plausible alternative proposition is that, seen from the perspective of today, 1990 wasn’t a moment of irreversible victory, and a final arrival at the sunlit uplands of prosperous civilization, but, rather, a temporary peak, from which the subsequent direction of economic, social and political travel has been downwards.
If this is so, it would accord with the Surplus Energy Economics analysis, which reveals that economic growth has long been decelerating towards contraction. For civilizational decay to follow economic deterioration, it isn’t necessary for the economy to contract – mere deceleration might have been enough to turn back the clock on liberal progress…
..Simply put, it can be contended that, if civilization advanced during the long years of growth, the approach of economic contraction has seen prior social and political progress go into reverse.
This might give us some useful pointers to a future in which, as society gets poorer, it may also become less liberal, less tolerant, less egalitarian and, quite possibly, less democratic…
..In short, what we’ve been witnessing has been a gradual deceleration of the fossil fuel impetus which powered the rise of the industrial economy. For reasons which needn’t be revisited here, we have no complete replacement for the energy value hitherto sourced from oil, gas and coal…
..The post-War Keynesian consensus started to unravel in the first half of the 1970s. In material terms, there was no “energy problem” at that time, because energy supply was abundant, and ECoEs (Energy Costs of Energy) remained extremely low. But politics intervened when, in 1973, OAPEC imposed an embargo on oil exports to the West. The resulting oil crisis led to soaring energy prices, runaway inflation and severe industrial disruption. This enabled opportunist politicians to win power, whereupon they strove to blame all of the problems of the 1970s on organized labour and the state, and to start dismantling the mixed economy…
..As we know – though the economics orthodoxy still does not – monetary expansion can’t drive growth in the material economy, because the latter is powered by a non-financial equation which involves energy supplies, ECoEs and the condition of the non-energy natural resource base. As a result, the inevitable consequence of the “credit adventurism” introduced in the 1990s was the global financial crisis of 2008-09.
This crisis was countered by a recourse to “monetary adventurism” in the form of QE, ZIRP and NIRP. This means that, whilst the GFC was a banking (credit) crisis, the next crisis (“GFC II”) will be systemic (monetary) failure…
..The equations that determine material economic prosperity have long been moving against us – the costs of energy are rising, its aggregate supply might be close to its own point of inflexion from increase into shrinkage, and non-energy natural resources have been subject to their own processes of depletion.
At the same time as material prosperity decreases, the real costs of energy-intensive necessities will continue to rise, imposing leveraged compression on the living standards of the average person.
Like all dominant minorities before them, today’s elites will aim to carry on amassing ever-more wealth and political influence. This is what all elites do. At the same time, the political and administrative establishment will aim to maintain the continuity of the status quo, which, again, is what incumbencies always do…
..In a contracting economy, though, wealthy and influential minorities can no longer hand out “bread and circuses” sops to the majority. The rich can only get richer if everyone else – the majority – gets poorer. This majority is destined to experience a relentless (and leveraged) decline in its prosperity…
..During the recent wave of social disorder in Britain, it was suggested that “civil war” is “inevitable”, but such an outcome is, in reality, wildly implausible. The victims of leveraged economic impoverishment are most unlikely to be able to combine together in a concerted attempt to overthrow the established order. They are, in fact, likelier to ignore the establishment rather than fight it.
The great weakness in the position of the establishment is its dependency on finance. The vast majority of the wealth of the rich minority is vested in stockholdings, and the values of these assets cannot indefinitely be maintained in the face of declining material prosperity.
As the resources available to them decrease, governments will re-learn the lesson that policing by force is no substitute for policing by consent. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2024/08/12/286-whatever-happened-to-progress/Charles Hugh Smith is also aware of energy, but writes for an audience. These Six Drivers Are Gone, and That’s Why the Global Economy Is Toast
The six one-offs that drove growth and pulled the global economy out of bubble-bust recessions for the past 30 years have all reversed or dissipated. Absent these one-off drivers, the global economy is stumbling off the cliff into a deep recession without any replacement drivers. Colloquially speaking, the global economy is toast.
Here are the six one-offs that won’t be coming back:
1) China’s industrialization.
2) Growth-positive demographics.
3) Low interest rates.
4) Low debt levels.
5) Low inflation.
6) Tech productivity boom.
Cutting to the chase, China bailed the world out of the last three recessions triggered by credit-asset bubbles popping: the Asian Contagion of 1997-98, the dot-com bubble and pop of 2000-02, and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-09. In each case, China’s high growth and massive issuance of stimulus and credit (a.k.a. China’s Credit Impulse) acted as catalysts to restart global expansion.
The boost phase of picking low-hanging fruit via rapid industrialization boosting mercantilist exports and building tens of millions of housing units is over. https://charleshughsmith.substack.com/p/these-six-drivers-are-gone-and-thatsThe equation for a peace deal is different. Netanyahu’s coalition still needs to escalate and continue the Palestinian Genocide to remain in power, but no major or regional power wants escalation to regional war, assuming the US takes Israel’s side against Iran. Russia has urged time for diplomacy, with Russian intercession, and has been flying military transports of advanced missile systems, S-400 air defense systems, and 5000 kilometer electronic warfare systems to Iran and to Syria, presumably for local distribution.
Vladimir Putin offered to facilitate negotiations. We should assume that he is doing so, and that this is part of it. It is Iran’s move. Iran has agreed to calm the waters by pausing. Iran and the Axis of Resistance are greatly increasing the cost to Israel and the US of further attacks, removing any relative advantage which might have existed. Nobody can really afford a regional war, not even Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich, when it may be reasonably assured that even they will die in it. That’s “parity”.
It appears that an embargo of Israeli ports, even if porous, would ruin the Israeli economy, and prompt more and more Israelis to move to other countries, making the apartheid state unsustainable. The natural gas rigs off the coast are also susceptible to threat of attack, even without physical damage.Hamas urges return to existing Gaza ceasefire proposal The group has said it wants a truce plan based on US President Joe Biden’s May 31 ceasefire proposal.
Hamas has asked mediators to present a plan based upon previous truce talks instead of attempting to find a new Gaza ceasefire deal, days ahead of talks proposed by the United States, Egypt and Qatar.
In a statement on its official Telegram channel, the group said that it wants a plan “based on [US President Joe] Biden’s May 31 ceasefire proposal, the framework laid out by mediators Qatar and Egypt on May 6, and UN Security Council Resolution 2735“.
The May 6 proposal, which Hamas previously agreed to and Israel rejected, also ensures the release of Israeli captives in Gaza as well as an unspecified number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails.
Sunday’s Hamas statement added that “the mediators should enforce this [May 6 proposal] on the occupation [Israel] instead of pursuing further rounds of negotiations or new proposals that would provide cover for the occupation’s aggression and grant it more time to continue its genocide against our people”.

Netanyahu blasts defense minister for ‘anti-Israel’ comments
The Israeli Prime Minister responded to comments by Defense Minister Gallant critical of Netanyahu’s calls for ‘absolute victory’
Netanyahu has stated that Israel must achieve “absolute victory” by eliminating Hamas’s military and governance capabilities and winning the release of the remaining 111 Israeli captives held by the Palestinian resistance movement since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October.
“This is the clear directive of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the cabinet, and it is binding on everyone – including Gallant,” the statement concludes.
In contrast, top Israeli officials, negotiators, and families of the captive Israelis have stated that Netanyahu seeks to sabotage a ceasefire deal with Hamas.
The ministers in Netanyahu’s government, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, have stated they want to continue the war. They say they wish to destroy Gaza, ethnically cleanse the strip of its 2.3 million indigenous Palestinian inhabitants, and settle Israeli Jews in their place. https://thecradle.co/articles/netanyahu-blasts-defense-minister-for-anti-israel-commentsAugust 13, 2024 at 2:13 pm #166265Oroboros

ParticipantThe World Court has ended the Oslo ruse
The ICJ’s ruling that international law protects the rights of Palestinians, and they need not negotiate with their oppressors for those rights, dealt a definitive blow to decades of Western efforts to situate Israel outside the reach of the law.
The Court found definitively that Israel was committing apartheid and racial segregation, that all of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza are occupied territory, that the occupation is unlawful, that Israel must remove all settlements, settlers, soldiers and occupation infrastructure, dismantle the apartheid wall in the West Bank, provide reparations to the Palestinians, and allow all those forced out to return home.
Equally important, the Court said that all states have a legal obligation not to recognize or assist the occupation and are obliged to help to bring an end to Israel’s occupation and other violations. And it found that all states must end all treaty relations with Israel that relate to the Palestinian territories, cease all economic, trade, and investment relations connected to the occupied territories. Thus, the ICJ has given clear international legal authority to the anti apartheid movement, and to the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/08/the-world-court-has-ended-the-oslo-ruse/Yes, preparing, but not doing it.

Strategic attack, tactical defense.
Pick a weak area, an area that is itself intolerable for you to hold – or that threatens something that it is intolerable for you to threaten.
Very quickly attack that area, move in quickly.
HALT your attack and dig in.
Wait.
You won’t have to launch further attacks because the enemy will come to you – importantly, he will come to you where you expect him to and on your terms, where you have prepared for it.
I have seen SOME assertions that Ukraine jammed the Kursk salient full of high quality Electronic Warfare and Area Denial. Have placed Patriots etc behind the salient so as to cover it.
I have no specific confirmation that this is what they’re doing, but if they’re doing something sane, this would appear to be it.

ParticipantBritain has gone nuts. Besides a completely outdated, ridiculous system of Gvmt (or rather one that favors some elites and seems immovable etc.) economic, social, etc. problems due to various factors (*energy* is one) are swept under the rug.
Ppl are manipulated to make them concentrate on ‘immigration’ aka throwing ‘ethnic’ / ‘religious’ / ‘nationalist’ / other, considerations out there for ppl to act on.
— Brexit was accomplished via an anti-immigration spiel.
Since, re. GB, Europeans have left, not come, to some large degree, immigrants are increasingly from other places, many of them muslims from ex-GB colonies. They have been earning far less than the previous ones, which was one of the Tory aims, cheapER labor.
In a way, the massive recent immigration (larger than before Brexit) into GB is a reversed colonialism.
When no longer able to squat ‘away’ territories, an option is to bring the needy, begging, labor, home.
Then, for ‘humanitarian reasons’ or ‘demographic arguments’ (low birth rate, cheaper to import ppl who survived till 20 and have some, or a lot of education) a rationale is made for the Gvmt. to support, pay for, immigrants to settle in / have housing, health care, etc. / be tolerated, or even favored.
By whom? Big Biz, Corps, and the Gvmt. itself who all want, or appreciate being able to find, exploit, super cheap labor. (E.g. Gvmt. faltering health services.)
At this crunch, the GB Gvmt. finds itself in a contradiction. It traditionally supports multi-culti, and thus in first place, Muslims, Islam as a religion, to the point, some say, of ignoring some of their not sins (?) or blatant criminality. At the same time, Starmer, a paid-for Zionist, supports Isr. in its genocide of Palestinians to the hilt.
So who are the manipulated citizens to attack, demand the removal of, etc.?
Right-wing terrorists, disgusting fascists, who hate non-white ppl, Jews, ppl of other cultures. Or Islamic radicals, know for perpetrating terrorist attacks, grooming little girls…, denying women their rights, etc.

The Corruption of the US Navy
11 August 2024 by Larry Johnson 128 Comments
Shawn Ryan, a retired Navy SEAL and a popular podcaster, recently posted a lengthy conversation with Navy SEAL Captain Brad Geary. It is almost six hours long and should probably be posted on Court TV.
Here is the bottomline — The Navy and the Pentagon are fabricating evidence to accuse Captain Geary of a dereliction of duty that led to the death of a young sailor who was trying to become a Navy SEAL. If you take the time to watch the video you will realize why the US Navy and most of the military leadership in other commands are a disgrace.
There is no honor and no integrity in the chain of command. And I remind you that these are the same people who will send the sons and daughters of Americans into meaningless, even illegal, wars.The gist of Geary’s case is this.
A Navy SEAL candidate died after Hell Week (the final stage of Navy SEAL BUDS training). When the candidate’s car was searched, a large quantity of illegal performance enhancement drugs (aka PEDS) was discovered.
Geary, who was the commander of that unit at the time, tried to secure permission to conduct a search of the cars of other candidates on base who were still alive. The lawyers denied the request. (Geary wanted to do this because he learned that there were rumors circulating that several of the BUDS candidates were using PEDS.)
What happened next — over the course of two years — illustrates the corruption that infects the Navy and the Pentagon. Rather than cop to the fact that one of the SEAL candidates died because his persistent use of PEDS enlarged his heart and compromised other vital organs, the NAVY — the Special Ops folks in particular — tried to cover it up and blame the death on Geary. The story is very involved, but the video lays out the facts in meticulous detail.

For example Hitler was a nasty fascist Right-Wing race hating killing bastard because he hated Jews, but Netanyahu is somehow NOT a nasty Right-Wing race hating fascist killing bastard because HIS hatred is directed elsewhere (Arabs and Goyim, in his case) ??
You know them by their fruits, folks. Not by their labels. Commies, Nazi’s, Zionists and Wokesters are not different. They are the same thing. They are evil. They consist of people who have determined themselves to deliberately to do WRONG rather than right. Know them by what they ARE not by the tricky names they sling around like radar chaff.

ParticipantI think that the hypothetical Ukrainian strategy you suggested would be plausible except for the fact that the Ukrainians placed themselves in a “cauldron” situation. In other words, it is a geographically pre-fabricated condition of being literally SURROUNDED by your numerically superior adversary before the fight even gets started. Russia has the total upper hand from the git go, and can simply eliminate as many Ukrainians and NATO equipment as it wants to, at a pace of its own choosing. Ukraine is committing suicide at Kursk, and Russia is just helping them do it (which has been its strategy from the moment it realized that the West is “not negotiation capable”.)

ParticipantCourt-martial judge speaking.
Commander officer and Installation have the authority to conduct those searches and the authority cannot be delegated even to the Executive Officer. The XO conducted the illegal search in my case as the “acting commanding officer” although the CO was present.
So yeah, corruption and stupidity go hand in hand, but the problem isn’t unique to the Navy. In fact in my case, the Mormon drug and alcohol abuser was factually and figuratively in bed, a hospital bed, obtaining a “disability evaluation” at the drug-n-alcohol offender’s place of private practice as the Chief of the Medical Staff scheduled the drug-n-alcohol offender to be “off-duty” for the period the female CO was to be privately examined by the Mormon ‘drug-n-alcohol offender’.
How did The Navy ((I use the term broadly and contemptuously)) come to know or suspect Dr D Rich to be a “druggie”?
They asked Tulsi Gabbard and Scott Ritter.
Hahahahahahaha!Here it gets complicated.
Mormon drug-n-alcohol offender helped hire a known meth-head and drug “pilferer”. This bitch once hired, took to “retrieving for disposal” the unused drugs from Dr D Rich’s postop patients.
Unbeknownst to Dr d Rich, known bitch meth-head stashed her ill-gotten stash of medicines, narcotics and sedatives, in my office.Unbeknownst to bitch meth-head and Mormonwomanizer, two techs suspicious of meth-head made it “knownst” to Dr d Rich that the bitch stashed control substances in my office.
So, how would the Pharmacy Department Head know to send one his enlisted pharmacy techs to my office to conduct a search?
On what authority would a CDR department head search a Navy Captain?
On what authority would an enlisted pharmacy tech enter and conduct a search of a Navy Captain’s office?Mormon drug-n-alcohol offender’s daddy is an Idaho Judge of some repute. Rumor has it.

That way Dr D will find the story credible and creditable -
