    “Trump always lies but in a good way.”
    That’s the crux of it isn’t it? Little white lies that are really for your own good. Brings me straight back to Santa. A little white lie that doesn’t really hurt anyone, right? Thanks to the electronic world since what seems forever now, many kids are hurt directly by this on xmas morning when being very well behaved all year they get shorted on the santa list while others get it all. The nefariousness of this little white lie is in its longevity. Authority would only lie to you for your own good. Now think about the reaction of most to mandates from perceived authority. Follow without question, it is for the best of all. Does that sound too socialist? It’s now and always was about control. Fall in line you fool, you’re going to get us all killed. Yeah sure, that cattle car looks comfy!

    Again, Hopper is deaf. His paintings have no sound.
    Paintings never have sound. How is that possible?

    AI: https://substack.com/@psychobabblewithspier/note/c-146229712
    AI asked to rate healthcare needs. It then creates the social victimhood hierarchy, because it picks it up as subcontext (or openly) from all the medical papers. Guess who is last and gets to die first?

    “The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace…”

    This is how “Trump” reset the narrative this time. What Compromise? Russia takes all, that’s the compromise.
    Nevertheless, this is the new baseline, huh?

    “Danish PM Calls Netanyahu A ‘Problem’, Threatens Sanctions On Israel
    “Like with Russia, we structure sanctions to target where they will be most effective.”

    It may have come to Denmark’s attention that ALL nations are corrupt, and therefore ALL nations must be boycotted. So they have to grow their own coconuts now, make their own semiconductors. I’m sure that’s no problem for a nation their size.
    Or you could do what Geo. Washington said and stfu, trade neutrally with all and leave them alone to their ways. You ain’t their daddy.

    “Rich Londoners Hire Security, Leave Rolexes At Home Over Knife Crime, Robberies

    Rich people have all the police they want. That’s why avowed Socialists want to remove the police for the poors.

    “FDA Approves Therapy For Rare Disease Without Randomized Trial Data

    RFK is right in their looking up their butts with a microscope and they’re still approving anything Pharma pays them for. Motto: “No Science, No Problem!”

    “”Learn To Code” Propaganda Turned Out To Be Terrible Advice

    Journalists were totally dead wrong and lied yet again? Everybody was killed? Say it isn’t so!

    “Health Care System To Pay More Than $1 Million To Settle COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate Case

    You’re kidding, right? What’s the all-in cost (benefits, career) for health care workers? More than $1M per I would bet. $85k/yr say equal benefits, $170k x 5 years = $850k, and career destruction. Not even close.

    “• Zelensky Refuses Trump’s Push For Peace Deal (RT)

    Great, you guys: keep fighting! I’m an American, I could care less.

    ““President Zelensky of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight..”

    That’s what I say too! None of my business which he wants, it’s his country. …I mean, if he were actually the elected leader of it, which he isn’t, and did what the people mandated, which was peace and Russian unity, which he didn’t. But other than the complete #Opposite, yes, all that.

    “Russia will never accept NATO country troops on the ground in Ukraine, so certainly the provervbial devil will be in the details, and there’s yet a long way to go for the negotiating sides.”

    Yes, no Article 5 and “it will take a long time” since there’s no ceasefire. Therefore Russia just takes all of Ukraine while Europe predictably dithers. It’s weird that Alexander says Europe, the West, just spends years painstakingly negotiating with themselves, but it’s true. Then when they finally decide and face Russia, Russia face-palms and says, “Yeah, none of that was ever on the table, and is now 2 years old.”

    The West, learning nothing, then goes internal and does it again.

    “the idea of deploying a “reassurance force” in Ukraine.”

    Because “Suicidal Tripwire Force” was too on the nose.

    Anyway, all says the same thing: Witkoff then proposes the Euro-position to Russia, who then utterly rejects it and wins more towns. Europe can then digest how rapidly and catastrophically they’re losing,but, being totally insulated from all reality, animal, vegetable, or mineral, they change nothing, refuse to act, and blame the Americans. …Whole Turkey has the largest army in Europe, a few miles not 10,000 miles away, and don’t even CONSIDER asking.

    Note: this is a radical IMPROVEMENT. Before Trump/Witkoff, there was no discussion and no reality AT ALL. It took these Herculean Labors to get them to use a PHONE. And read WORDS. The Americans had to tie them up and beat them senseless to get even that far.

    ““EU leaders have insisted that a ceasefire come first, and have rejected territorial concessions, as has Zelensky..”

    This is the example. EUROPE decided there’s going to be a ceasefire. Great! Did anyone tell Russia? No?

    Then STFU. I saw them protesting in Alaska, Blue Hairs screaming “The only way there’s peace is if Russia leaves!!” Great. So you’re going to grab a gun and go make them? No, you’re going to send the MEN to die, while you stay home flap your lazy, useless pie hole, and complain. Just walk up, hand her a redeemable plane ticket, and walk away. Honey, are you into this or not? If you want it, here you go: make it happen. Your dreams have come true.

    Why this is all feminine coded, somehow got people to believe TALKING, sighing, complaining, pretending, lying, are all ACTION. That talking is DOING something. It’s not: it’s Talking. Talking is not doing. Oh but Blue Hairs, Europe COMPLAINED and TOLD you to fix the dishwasher and take out the garbage or they will harass and abuse you verbally AGAIN, you-man-with-tiny-hands. IDGAF. Do what you need. The more you complain and cry, the funnier it is to me now.

    Pick up a gun in Pokrovsk, you have my full respect and attention. Otherwise, pat on the head, you’re an adorable little pet with your tiny, stomping feetsies. Cute as a button when you hold your breath, you are.

    “Maybe Zelensky can bring all 27 EU members with him. And claim that shows strength.”

    Maybe, but all 27 combined don’t have one army, so…

    • Russia Made Concessions On ‘Land Swaps’ With Ukraine – Witkoff (RT)

    Like the last 4-5 times, the summer ‘24 deal, Russia knows Europe will say no, so they can essentially offer anything they like in complete safety. By the time anyone actually acts, Russia will be in Lviv, and the deal will be off. The “Conditions on the Ground” as they say. Is that deceptive or not in good faith? Not exactly.

    “Chicago’s homicide rate stood at more than 21 per 100,000 in 2024.”

    Why do Democrats hate black people so much and want them all killed?

    “That homicide rate, though high, has trended down from even higher rates during the 1990s.”

    Actually, crime went UP, but cell phones were invented. The people getting shot are rushed to the hospital and don’t die. That’s not the win you think it is.

    “• Australian Lawyer Apologizes For AI-Generated Errors In Murder Case (AP)

    Imagine being disbarred for malfeasance. Which is a light charge here, I could prosecute others. It’s a egregious violation of human rights, for one: long jail sentence. Presenting this to the court is essentially legal perjury.

    Copper cup: Don’t, copper is highly active. Too much copper is easy to get and causes many other issues. If you’re low copper you may need it, but you’d be in the minority and need to know your proper levels. I believe this is true of most metals, even Iron.

    JB: Extremely succinct, since we have to say this about Socialism all the time: Their goal is to make life worse as an excuse to kill people. https://substack.com/@cavemaneconomist/note/c-146431830

    “……his severe dyslexia—which affected his ability to read, write, spell, and perform numerical tasks (dyscalculia) Great for being a politician!

    …..he was enrolled in remedial reading classes to cope with his learning difficulties.

    Throughout his years in school, Newsom relied heavily on audiobooks, summaries, and verbal instruction.

    [as Governor] He still prefers audio interpretations of documents and reports.

    In a 2023 interview, he said his dyslexia “forced me to find workarounds and think differently—skills I still use every day as governor.”

    The Fed ridding itself of tens of trillions of bad money debt by re-hypothecating it into “new & improved” debt instruments under a shiny new name (let’s call them Freedollars) and selling these used toilet papers into the market in exchange for “good” (or at least not as bad) bad money is an interesting gambit.

    It would be like selling (at a very tempting discount, of course) a bad IOU collateralized by earlier bad IOU’s which in turn are backed up and based on even older and worser bad IOU’s, and so on ad infinitum.

    At some point one loses count of how many layers of utter bullshitty unpayable promises of repayment there are in the whole ball of dung.

    Here’s the bottom line: buy some if you want to, and good luck to you sir.

    The only players will be institutions who are already inescapably locked into the dollar, which is looking deader by the day, but Hey! What have they got to lose? And the scam does let them continue playing the “you lose” game for as much longer as there are losers willing to bet someone else’s farm on a sure thing (sure to crap out, that is.) Worry about death when the time comes, that’s their motto, and it’s worked pretty well for them on the short term for a long time now.

    But not much longer. It’s fun to watch how rats abandon the sinking Pirate Ship. Some of them have had enough practice that they’re really really good at it. At least their genetic line has survived up to this point. The trouble with being a rich rat who survives to fight another day is that one has to be a rat to do it.

    No, thank you. I’ll pass on the recycled counterfeit and stick to things that actually have value in and of themselves, rather than merely symbolic things (like dollars, gold and bitcoin). I prefer REAL money.

    I had a dream of PEACE

    a truce

    a settlement

    end of the conflicts

    concessions

    differing semantics
    ————-
    plan requiring Kiev to cede parts of Donbass still under its control, in exchange for a Kremlin halt to hostilities elsewhere. (end the war)
    not to go after any other territory when the peace deal is codified.”

    Trump will propose that Kiev relinquish the areas of the new Russian territories in Donbass still under Ukrainian control.
    The Kremlin, in turn, would agree to cease hostilities along the current front line in Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, which also became part of Russia after referendums in 2022.

    ————–
    No lies

    Belief

    security guarantees

    “Article 5-like protections”

    Putin agreed to “..robust security guarantees”

    kultsommer from yesterday

    This is childish or disingenuous. Any analysis that sees world events outside the context of technocracy and totalitarianism is flawed.

    Labeling it as a (covert) “Marxism” seeping into the Western world does not help either.
    It does shield the actual perpetrators (the “job creators”).

    soooooo…. what you’re saying is.

    Marxism is the anti-human insecticide that The Powers Behind The Curtain rain down on humans.

    And you’re SO contemptuous of the ants complaining about being poisoned – stupid dumbs – especially in comparison with your big-brain super wise being One Who Knows…

    …that you’ll sneer and sidestep it entirely. Omit, distract, etc rather than draw the dots – that would be deigning to speak like an equal with ants, after all. That would not be equity as you envision it. So it is this.

    How dare anyone object to the bombs being dropped, want to put up a shield against an oncoming sword. Fools. Fighting dumb inanimate SWORDS. Fighting against BOMBS. Don’t you know about bad people, fool?

    Free your minds and see that these paltry things are irrelevant to big brain people like me, which you are not. (and let the human insecticide continue to fall – it’s what those humans deserve for focusing on it…)

    1. You allow uncontrollable crime to ravage the streets of major cities.
    2. Public outrage prompts the solution – National Guard on the streets.
    3. Public happy.
    4. “National Guard” stays indefensibly but with the “new selected guys” staffing the uniforms.

    In Balkans it is more brazen. Prez Vucic in Serbia already has a goons that are mercilessly beating the protesters. Puffed-up and recruited straight from the gyms they sport a T-shirts with flashy names like “Cobras”, “Whites”….

    You in essence are saying power being exercised (by non socialists) is icky – that’s like, a RULE, maaaan.

    Ending 10 or so years of stochastic terrorism and anarcho-terrorism must be fascism! (…but then having a work ethic, showing up places on time, being comprehensible, having a family, refraining from crime, stuff like that, is Fascism too, so…)

    Bezos is doing antiSocialism and Capitalmonopolyism 100,000 times better than me. So Jeffery deserves it.

    Nah 1000 wouldn’t have gotten ya 100 mil.
    Who here wouldn’t have sold at 250k or 100k or 1mil let alone 10 mil

    I bought AAPL at 1.35 in 1996, 2 thousand dollars worth because it then was far better and not a monopoly bailed out that year by Bill monopolist Gates. Oh well.

    Xymphora for the win

      Note the irony in the big surge of right-wing articles blaming energy supply and cost problems on green initiatives, when the real massive problem is the usual (((parasitic leeching))) through unsustainable energy consumption supposedly required so billionaires can fire workers.  Everybody in AI needs to be woodchipped.
