““12 or 20 million illegal aliens coming out of the workforce” creates massive wage pressure upward. The manufacturing revolution is here.”
True and needed. However, Dowd notes that this puts housing prices, thus collateral under pressure. It needs a correction and even he doesn’t think it will be a financial panic.
“• Trump Rules Out Scott Bessent As Fed Chair (NYP)
Odd. He was perhaps the only list. Looks like they want to seriously reform the Fed into something else though.
“Trump has long fumed at Powell for his reluctance to slash interest rates, bashing him as “too late” and “highly political.”Has my memory completely dissolved and failed me? Powell is Political after setting rates so Trump would win? But now the opposite? And he’s keeping rates merely mid, with Dow at all time highs and a housing bubble at all time highs, is Political? And then “Trump can remove Powell at any time” which he can’t as far as I’m aware, with Libertarians on the Right have been complaining about since 1999?
Even Luongo said that yesterday. I mean, in PRACTICE he can make life hard for Powell, but according to rules, he’s untouchable. Reality is whatever I thought 5 minutes ago, and still getting worse.
“his DOJ and FBI July 6, that found a “systematic review” of evidence uncovered no Epstein “client list”
Again with weaselfest. So there are rapes but no rapists? Then Maxwell must be released immediately as the FBI fabricated all evidence. Oh you meant Epstein didn’t right down “Four more rapes at 4pm by Gates, $20k each” on a double-accounting ledger book? Yeah, we know, we’re not morons like you are. Somebody knows what happened. That’s the list.
“The LETITIA Act, if passed and enforced, tears down the shield of privilege, daring to answer the question:”
Not sure, You can’t have one law for the people and one for Congress, even if the one for Congress is stiffer. That’s unconstitutional. Have to look into the legal details, and what to do about enforcement and favoritism, it is always this way in all times and cultures. The People themselves have to desire to stop it and not stand for it. Right now they are as Black Pilled as the TAE commetariat, and will put up with anything.
This isn’t magic: there are laws, so we enforce them. The End.
Speaking of, DOGE is going through the Federal Register trying to identify outdated or duplicate laws that can be removed and simplified. Yeah, only AI could do this, and well worth the time. Seems odd bc we’re not actually “changing” laws (tho of course legally, they are) but it will still help people and business, and suppress bureaucrats fishing for laws to selectively enforce.
“The countries you seek to sanction will need oil regardless, but they will have to pay a higher price. That lifts global oil prices, so Russia gets paid more.
• Sanctions On Russia’s Partners ‘Obvious Next Step’ – US NATO Envoy (RT)Among others. But everyone has moved from even a 2nd order thinker, which is weak, down to a 1st order thinker, if even that.
Repeat after me “The Purpose of a System is What It Does”. The purpose of a Trump action is what it does, not what he claims it will do. He has to lie or it won’t get through Congress – they don’t speak any other language. If he didn’t lie, they’d be confused.
Oil prices, inflation-adjusted are quite LOW. Peak Oil!!! We’re all gonna Dieeeeeee!!!!!! Yeah, they’re like 15% inflation-adjusted above 1974. Wow. Oh noes. And this is WITH everything being taken offline by force. All Canada, California where oil washed up on the beach, most of Iran, half of Russia, most of ANWR.
“How can this add up to a recession? There’s simply a shift in money flows.
• US ‘On Precipice’ Of Recession – Moody’s (RT)This is real and important, bc they knew deporting 20M immigrants would be instant Depression. “It’s a Trap!!!” While Tariffs stop the Keynesean money-printing problem by going a different route. However, all these things take time and re-structure. So they are balancing deportations (contraction) vs Inflation, vs inside money supply vs World US Dollar (Eurodollar) supply. Powell has crunched Eurodollar supply with steady pressure, while twisting so that money is trying to flow IN to the U.S. (new factories, buying the DOW) and holding our US$ supply stable.
He pulled the most US$ ever out of the system, and raised rates twice as fast as ever done before, remember? And remember more $ banks failed, in CA than even ‘08 and he patched it in mere minutes?
This is pretty complex plumbing. I’m surprised they can do it when so complicated but don’t underestimate it.
“• Thank God for Robert F. Kennedy (Paul Craig Roberts)
For at least two decades it has been an unassailable hard scientific fact that mercury in vaccines is highly toxic and responsible for serious injuries and child developmentCredit where credit. Take the “W”, boys. I expect crickets. Everything must be bad all the time. If you don’t believe you’re being betrayed by everyone, you can’t sleep nights.
“remove mercury from vaccines used in America. This accomplishment in itself justifies the Trump presidency.”How many deaths and injuries per year? Mass murdering of Children? 100k/year? 6 million deaths, outdoing the Holocaust? Oh no, that’s not a win, I have to be mad about it. Let’s not change things because my Ego would be personally disappointed and I’d have to adjust.
“The ultimatum Trump delivered to Putin is both nonsensical and dangerous. It has probably convinced Russia that war is inevitable.”
I’ve been trying to digest Armstrong’s computer, which is seldom wrong. Europe CAN just nuke Russia without us, essentially, or smuggling in a bomb that looks like us. They have what? A dozen times already, like Zap? We know these guys are capable of it, and they also want to. I don’t see this in local prophesy, however, so it’s hard to digest. There seem to be no prophesies of UK being leveled. There are many about an East-West war, contact line the 5 hills in Czech tho. If so, that would be some distance in the future yet.
The main prophesy of Nukes is that “It will come out of nowhere” possibly by countries we weren’t even looking at. That seems odd since we’re in the middle of Oh-No-Yet-Another-European-Genocidal-World-War and would be the most expected on earth in 2025 Ever. The whitest white swan. W. Europe doesn’t ACT like that’s happening, but objectively they should.
Russia also is expecting all this and will have response plans handy, even if they don’t’ want to use them (they’re expensive).
The U.S. side is, now that Europe is destroyed and becoming a colony of us instead of the other way ‘round, there will only be three nations: China, Russia, and the U.S. 10 years from now. Everyone else is relation-to us three. So the U.S. needs leverage at that time, and Trump is making it.
That’s as far as I’ve gotten on it. Due to the nature of Armstrong’s computer, he can’t tell nukes from other things, so if it’s a Oreshnik vs ATACMs/DEW exchange, but a real war, he couldn’t tell. But that would change the unfolding substantially.
Oh-no-genocidal-Euros-at-it-again, is what? Number in Ukraine is now 1.8 MILLION dead. …And that tracks if 1M dead on Jan 1. And 200k Russians, prob, so 2M Slavs dead. That’s the Anglos for ya! Setting up Nazis, Killin’ some Slavs!
Injured? Uncountable. Not x10 as usual, but times 1x at least.
““Trump issues meaningless ultimatums that show that Trump is not sincere about ending tensions with Russia.”Yes because even conservative commenters Duran now report Ukraine has fallen and only the river is protecting them right now. Trump insured Russia could get to this point. That may be agreed and his rhetoric is reminding that he conceded Russian territory of Russian Ukraine to the Dnpr line, BUT NO FURTHER. That would make sense, where pop accounts of his comments make none.
Then the rest of Ukr needs to go disarmed and neutral, which may take longer. This is also Russia winning everything, which Western Idiots politically find hard to admit, but too bad. So that takes time. Euros I know think Russia is still shooting washing machines at them.
“One constraint is the US foreign policy doctrine of US hegemony over the world, known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine”
Not really. That act is what defines the “America First” vs the “Global Neocons” of Empire. America First appears to have won, so there’s no Wolfowitz doctrine anymore. Many of those guys are the 30M federal employees tho. Tulsi is trying to ID then fire.
“which no one intended, including Hitler, resulted from diplomatic blunders, the consequences of which no one understood.Today the same kind of blunders are being repeated, building tensions instead of reducing them.”
Yes, well, Evil’s job is to make sure this happens, and they’re tireless, so…
“”Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we’ve ever seen.”We know. By the very fact of how hard they were pushing it. That’s how cynical I still am. And yup! Turns out to be totally correct!

Hey let’s do some elementary school math!
It has to do with Trumptard’s incessant lying, about well, everything under the sun.
Obama administration’s record-setting year of 2013 in which more than 400,000 noncitizens were deported.
That’s roughly 33,000 deportations a month (NOT arrests)
Trumptard is arresting 30K+ a month but only actually deporting 18,000 a month
Gee, 18,000 a month times 12 equals = 216,000 a YEAR
So to deport 12 million illegals at the Trumptard rate will only take 55 YEARS to deport.
At the 20 million illegal estimate it will take Trumptard 92 YEARS to fulfill his promise.
I know certain commenters here think Trumptard can walk on water, but really?
He will be dust in that time frame OR his nose will be a mile long.
The whole “Oh don’t deport them so fast it will cause inflation” is horseshit.
He can’t deport them faster cause he was lying, as usual.
Deporting the Biden Globo-homo 12-20 million will NEVER get done and Trumptard knew that when he made the “promise” (cough, gag) to the American public.
Chaulk it up to another Trumptard Big Lie
Quote
https://t.me/intelslava/78026I’ve heard this theory echoed more and more lately, and I’m inclined to agree:
It feels as if Trump and his true inner circle defniitively know that ‘the jig is up’, and that a massive % of his base are officially recognizing that he seems to be working for hidden actors (think Epstein and Lutnick, Kushner and Netanyahu, Adelson, etc.).. and that they’re now pushing the pedal to the floor to get as much done as possible before he completely blows whatever remaining trust and faith his base had in him.
It feels like an open escalation on all fronts.. shameless, brazen, hurried..
the push to prosecute his enemies (though they’re wildly corrupt crooks and fully deserve it) seems a desperate attempt to drag us all back to a purely political framework, to pull people back to the ‘Republican’ reservation and an us vs them mentality, to forget about Epstein/etc… yet most seem to be seeing through it, this time.
End QuoteMy opinion up to now has been give trump until close of business. I imagined that to be midterms. I was wrong. It is still a close of business case, but it is an intercept of close of business case. Does trumps trajectory put him at completion of anything useful upon close of business? The chance is getting thin. So that leaves me with what can trump salvage? He is in office for another 3 1/3 years. It is difficult to imagine the democrats retaking congress. Maybe trump could make it happen. That intercept is not on the left of midterms, yet. That would leave trump 1 1/3 years.
So ok. This is a salvage operation. Israel, on behalf of london, is burning down trumps agenda. The only impact on this I can have without risking jail or debanking is vote. Or maybe not vote. Or maybe take some risk. I know trumps a murderer. The world is full of murderers. What is my best chance to move humanity away from being murderous. Or maybe just move away from israellondon. The most bang for the buck regarding murderous psychopaths? Elections only give me 3 choices. D, R, none. I got it. D, R, none all suck and the jews are running the show. What is the forward plan? It sure as hell isnt you telling me what sucks.

Larry Johnson, Russian Special Ops Forces Capture Three British “Soldiers”
Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, and Colonel Edward Blake, both active-duty officers of the British Army, along with an as-yet-unidentified agent of British MI-6 (Intelligence) were captured during a daring raid by Russian Special Forces, in the city of Ohakiv…
..Trump’s golf buddy, Steve Witkoff, was supposed to go to Moscow for talks on Saturday, but the trip was pushed back, with no explanation. Now there are reports that Witkoff’s mission is to try to get the Russians to release the three British operatives. https://sonar21.com/russian-special-ops-forces-capture-three-british-soldiers/Ukraine War: British Officers Captured in Russian Special Forces Raid
Russian special forces reportedly executed a lightning-fast operation in the Ukrainian coastal city of Ochakov, capturing three senior British military personnel allegedly involved in coordinating drone and missile strikes against Russian positions.
According to Russian military-linked Telegram channels and corroborating social media reports, the elite unit known as “Skat-12” landed in Ochakov under cover of darkness, infiltrating a command center believed to be used by NATO-linked operatives. The operation, lasting approximately 15 minutes, resulted in the capture of:
Colonel Edward Blake, a psychological operations specialist;
Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, a UK Ministry of Defence official with prior deployments in the Middle East;
An unidentified individual, presumed to be an MI6 cybersecurity advisor.
The incident has triggered a diplomatic firestorm. British officials, reportedly blindsided by the raid, contacted Moscow demanding the immediate release of the officers. The UK Foreign Office claimed the men were in Ukraine for “tourism purposes,” citing an interest in naval history and World War II battle sites. However, Russian sources dismissed the explanation as implausible, citing the discovery of encrypted data, strategic maps, and classified communications with the British General Staff in the officers’ possession.
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has allegedly refused any prisoner exchange, stating that the captured personnel will face trial for direct involvement in hostilities against Russia. The Kremlin views the incident as proof of NATO’s covert engagement in the conflict. https://www.thekhybermail.com/ukraine-war-british-officers-captured-in-russian-special-forces-raid/Russia Captures Active-Duty NATO Military Officers and Intel Agent in Ukraine
The official London version is: the arrested officers traveled to Ukraine as tourists and “accidentally” ended up in Ochakiv.
The British had the gall to tell the Russians that the men “were interested in naval history and wanted to visit the coast where battles were fought during the Second World War.”
The Russians say no beach towels or cameras were found with the detainees, but instead “maps with strategic objects on the territory of Russia, Russian air defense plans, secret instructions on cooperation with Ukrainian drone operators and discs with encrypted data and records of conversations with the British General Staff were found.” https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/bulletin-russia-captures-active-duty-nato-military-officers-and-intel-agent-in-ukraineTrump Retreats: Moscow Awaits New US Proposals Through Witkoff – Trump Sends Witkoff to Moscow as Kremlin Outmaneuvers Sanctions
Steve Witkoff is scheduled to visit Moscow on August 6–7, tasked with delivering new proposals as Donald Trump seeks a way to avoid enforcing his own 100% sanctions threat against Russia. With just ten days left of his reduced ultimatum on the Ukraine ceasefire, Trump has acknowledged that Russia is effectively circumventing sanctions, leaving his administration with few viable options. https://english.pravda.ru/world/163558-trump-sends-witkoff-to-moscow/China rejects US demand to stop buying oil from Russia , Iran https://en.mehrnews.com/news/235037/China-rejects-US-demand-to-stop-buying-oil-from-Russia-Iran

Paul Craig Roberts, Reality Rules Whether or Not It Is Acknowledged
Scott Ritter is worth listening to. Ritter was the chief arms inspector sent to Iraq to confirm that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction justifying Washington’s invasion. But Ritter was too honest for the job and reported back that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
The Zionist George W. Bush Regime simply ignored the report, sent US Secretary of State Colin Powell to the UN to lie through his teeth, and invaded and destroyed an Arab country for Israel. George W., the son of a former US president and CIA Director, sent American soldiers to die for Israel and asserted he was fighting a “war on terror.” He was fighting with American lives and money a war for Greater Israel.
Fighting wars for Israel has been US policy for the entirety of the 21st century. American parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, uncles, cousins, and friends have been fighting and dying for Israel and paying for their own deaths by financing the war with their own pocket books for three presidencies during which Washington has sacrificed Americans for Israel.
All of this has to be kept hidden from Americans and is by lies, censorship, charges of anti-semitism, and criminalization of criticism of Israel. If truth be known, Israel rules the West. There are only two members in the US house of Representatives with the courage to stand up to Israel. In the US Senate I think there is only one. The bully Trump is afraid of the Israel Lobby and illegally bombed Iran–an act of war–on orders from Netanyahu. Trump is building Greater Israel, not America. When MAGA-Americans elected Trump, they elected Netanyahu. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/08/03/reality-rules-whether-of-not-it-is-acknowledged/FBI Redacted Trump’s Name in Epstein Files for Privacy Reasons https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-redacted-trump-s-name-in-epstein-files-for-privacy-reasons/ar-AA1JK3WT
Kremlin Urges ‘Careful Use Of Nuclear Rhetoric’ As Medvedev Pivots To Saying Trump Blackmailed By Mossad
The Kremlin has issued a fresh statement urging caution in making public statements involving nuclear weapons, after last week President Trump ordered two US nuclear submarines to deploy “closer to Russia”…
..This doesn’t mean that Medvedev is done going after Trump in this latest tit-for-tat social media public war or words. He put the following out Monday on Telegram:
“Trump should not think that the video archive of his past immoralities is only in the hands of Mossad.”
This is to apparently suggest strongly that Trump’s foreign policy actions are directed by Israel, in connection with Epstein-related blackmail, and is among the more bizarre and aggressive theories thrown out there by Medvedev of late.

After 8 Years of Hiding Documents – Deep State DOJ Asks to Move Seth Rich Case to “The Dirtiest Federal Courthouse in America” – DC
Seth Rich may be the key to the Russia Collusion coup of the Trump Administration. The Deep State DOJ and FBI have gone through extreme efforts to cover-up any information they have on Seth Rich. Rich is who many believe transferred Hillary and Podesta emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election. Rich was a Bernie fan who worked in the DNC at that time. Rich was found shot in the back in the summer of 2016 due to what law enforcement labeled a robbery, and yet his wallet, phone, and watch were left on his person.
It is believed that actions involved in the transfer of Democrat and Podesta files to WikiLeaks will show that Seth Rich forwarded those messages. The lie that the Russians were involved would then be found to be a total fabrication. https://joehoft.com/exclusive-after-8-years-of-hiding-documents-deep-state-doj-asks-to-move-seth-rich-case-to-the-dirtiest-federal-courthouse-in-america-dc/Trump’s Base Fragments Further As He Demands States Support Israel Or Risk Disaster Relief https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trumps-base-fragments-further-he-demands-states-support-israel-or-risk-disaster-relief

The United States is expanding its military footprint on the Korean Peninsula by establishing another elite air unit near the demilitarized zone, which is apparently in response to Pyongyang’s last week announcement that it will only enter negotiations if the US abandons its demand for denuclearization.
The Department of Defense confirmed the US recently transferred 31 F-16 fighter jets from Kunsan Air Base to Osan Air Base, with a purpose to “consolidate air power and enhance combat readiness” in the region.
The Pentagon indicated this marks the second such “super squadron” the US has stationed in South Korea. Osan lies several dozen miles north of Kunsan, closer to the demilitarized zone with North Korea, and so the Kim Jong Un government will no doubt see this as a serious provocation. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-deploys-f-16-super-squadron-closer-north-korea-border-after-kims-ultimatum China’s drone swarms just got smarter, faster and harder to kill

Trump raged against India on Wednesday in a series of posts announcing his 25% tariff on its exports on the pretext of its trade barriers and close ties with Russia. He then announced an oil deal with Pakistan and predicted that “maybe they’ll be selling Oil to India someday!” His final post described India’s economy as “dead” and claimed that “We have done very little business with India” despite it being the fastest-growing major economy in the world and bilateral trade amounting to nearly $130 billion in 2024.
India’s Ministry of Commerce & Industry calmly responded to Trump’s tariff announcement by reaffirming its commitment to talks and declaring that the state “will take all steps necessary to secure our national interest”, which likely infuriated him since he probably expected Modi to anxiously call him...
..The US wants India to open its agricultural and dairy markets, stop its massive import of discounted Russian oil, and rapidly diversify away from Russian military equipment. Complying with the first demand would be disastrous for the 46% of the Indian workforce employed in these industries, however, while the second would risk decelerating its economic growth and the third would make its security dependent on the US. The end result would therefore derail India’s rise as a Great Power and turn it into a US vassal. https://www.globalresearch.ca/trump-hellbent-derailing-india-rise-great-power/5896574Who buys the false dichotomy pedaled pedalled peddled by The Masters of the Dialectic?
Both, all three, whatever can done….that is Trump can be prosecuted, Obama et al can hounded until Kingdom comes AND Epstein’s client list can be thoroughly vetted, prosecuted and or publicly humiliated AND there’d still be time left to plant a garden in from of the FP clinic, make your bed and check your 401k. The cost might be the ruination of a few frauds, loss of Israel, and the placement of Judaism at the fringe of society 17 million worldwide vs 8 billion others.
And my God, Washington D.C. would lose its opulence

Michael Hudson: From Babylon to Wall Street – How Bankers Make You Poor
I began to write a history of debt, after I left the United Nations in 1979 after warning that there was going to be a, third world, Latin American debt crash in a few years, as indeed there was in 1982. I got all the way back to Greece and Rome, and then into the biblical, and came across the jubilee year.
There were a few references to the fact that there were antecedents of this in Babylonian law and I began to look through the literature in Babylonia. And I found out rather quickly that every ruler of the Babylonian dynasty, whenever they took the throne for their first full year on the throne, they would proclaim a clean slate, annulling the personal agrarian debts that had built up.
Freeing the debt bond servants whose had to go to work for their creditors to work off the debt and redistributing the land, the words that Hammurabi and other rulers used in proclaiming these clean slates were exactly those of, the Judaic, Jubilee in Leviticus, that apparently was, written into Mosaic law when the Jewish exiles were, permitted to return to Israel and brought their familiarity with Babylonian law with them. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/08/michael-hudson-from-babylon-to-wall-street-how-bankers-make-you-poor.html DOJ Ends 44-Year-Old Race-Based Hiring Decree
The DOJ said on Aug. 4 that the decree had “limited the hiring practices of the federal government based on flawed and outdated theories of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and that it also “imposed draconian test review and implementation procedures” on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
“For over four decades, this decree has hampered the federal government from hiring the top talent of our nation,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said in a statement. “Today, the Justice Department removed that barrier and reopened federal employment opportunities based on merit—not race.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/doj-ends-44-year-old-race-based-hiring-decreeArtificial Greed: ‘Relatively Simple’ AI Trading Bots Naturally Collude To Rig Markets: Wharton https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/relatively-simple-ai-trading-bots-naturally-collude-rig-markets-wharton

It is the offshored production of US firms that is the main cause of the US trade deficit with China.The president views Powell’s insistence on keeping interest rates elevated as undermining efforts to refinance the roughly $9 trillion in US debt.
Only 73,000 jobs were added in the month of July and revised the figures for May and June down by a whopping 258,000 jobs.
Hours after the report came out, Trump dismissed Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, accusing her of fudging the numbers.

• ‘Biden’s DOJ Secretly Targeted Trump’s Inner Circle (Margolis)There are new, disturbing revelations about the weaponization of the federal government against former Trump officials that demand attention.
Just weeks before returning to the White House, officials who served President Donald Trump during his first term discovered they had been swept up in a politically charged dragnet under orders from the Biden administration.

Russia has not threatened us and clearly has no territorial ambitions.
Putin’s ambition is a mutual security agreement with the West.
For some reason Trump won’t consider it.
Perhaps the situation is one of armament profits taking precedence over life.Trump can stop the war by ending weapons delivery, financing, and diplomatic cover, but Trump has not done so.
Trump can stop the conflict by sitting down with Putin, understanding what Putin means by “the root causes of the war,” and addressing these issues, but Trump has not done so.
Instead, Trump issues meaningless ultimatums that show that Trump is not sincere about ending tensions with Russia. Clearly, ultimatums are not the way to normalize relations.
———–Cheezedick’s brother in law, oops, I meant Alberto Gonzalez has been “asked” “invited” “subpoenaed” to “speak”
Who do you think has spine, balls, gonads, ovaries and boobs TO ask Alberto The Most Pertinent Question about Torture, Extraordinary Rendition, Child Rape, Child Murder at GITMO, Bagram, Abu Ghraib and other black ops sites as determined to be essential to A Higher Calling to Justice in Defense of the Nation sanctioned/authorized by by His former Boss?
That’s how we got here.
Obama indemnified The Bush Crew by stating “we can’t look backwards”. Oh! Okay Constitutional Scholar.My bet is no one has the chops to challenge Little Alberto
Trump Admin prosecuting those who created, fomented, and directed the political, et al., attacks against his original campaign, first presidency, and 2nd and 3rd campaigns is a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. The first Trump Admin declined to pursue such prosecutions — because it creates “drag,” and it can be more effective to look and move forward. The deep state responded by doubling down and increasing the lawfare and deepening its conspiratorial actions — essentially, it saw Trump as “weak,” and pursued him further. The deep state also acted against the interests of the US population, encouraging illegal migration, censoring views it didn’t like, drag queen story hour, men in women’s sports, vaccine mandates, discriminating against the light-skinned, etc. This time around, it looks like the Trump Admin will pursue prosecutions. Of course, such prosecutions will be seen by those who dislike Trump as a vendetta against his enemies. If the Trump Admin declines to prosecute, his supporters will be upset that he is failing to stand up for himself and failing to be their champion. There is no ideal path forward.
(Which Candace Owens, in her world of pure right and wrong cannot today fully understand. I can’t help but wonder if, someday, she will understand that the cost of pursuing every potential litigation placed in front of her may be so steep that it requires sacrificing values that are worth more than the crux of the litigation.)
All people live in the world that they think they live in. But that’s just what they think .
The real world is considerably different from what they think it is.
Note that it is a lot easier to change what people think than it is to change the way things actually are, which is why so many rulers spend so much time and treasure on secrecy, censorship and propaganda. Note that public education and so-called “mainstream” media consists entirely of secrecy, censorship and propaganda.
The current state of the “No One Has Been Arrested Yet” world is entirely due to secrecy, censorship and propaganda with a dash of arrogant human selfishness thrown in as the motivational impulse that keeps it all moving.
A big part of our collective problem is that everybody has a different “mental construct” or “world view” of what they think the world is. The less they think then the less they see, understand or give a damn. Ironically, and I really do mean hard core irony, is that the more they think about it then the more hopelessly complicated it all looks to them, which has all sorts of annoying consequences of it’s own.
For example, @aspnaz (worst offender), @Dr D_Rich (almost as bad), CitizenX (not too bad, but bad nonetheless) and @CelticBiker (badly repetitious) is that each of them has at least begun to look around and notice that they’ve been lied to by a bunch of seriously bad actors that have some sort of significantly important connection with the “Jews” . I think that unexpected revelation fried something in their brains, because (also ironically) they are apparently mentally and emotionally unable to take that investigation any further. They’re just stuck at that point, as though it answers, explains or solves anything at all. [hint: it doesn’t. It’s just a road sign on a much longer road).
To say that the state of the world is complicated in roughly equivalent to saying that the cosmos has lots of stars in. It’s not false. It’s just such an extreme understatement that even using the expression is a form of gas-lighting. In point of fact, The state of the world is infinitely complex.
Chew on that for a sec. What it means is that you cannot wrap your brains around it. The best you can do is to become aware of the facts and patterns that surround you, and so begin the infinitely long journey of understanding them.

…your thoughts engage me daily. This one reminds me of the Gary Larson Far Side cartoon of the lad in school ( with a smallish head ) raising his hand and asking to be excused as his brain is full.
I relate to that as I sleep under the stars and look up – or try to get closer to reality/truth by jumping down rabbit holes.
@ John Day … righteous nod to Talking heads.
Trump:
I believe Trump prefers “economic warefare” over “military warefare”.
He can only let existing “military wars” burn themselves out.
Trump is busy waging “economic wars” to further the Empire’s goals.
