VIncent van Gogh Weeping woman seated on a basket 1883 • NATO Could Take Out Russia in 3 Days: Congressman (NW) • Biden Explains Why Zelensky C
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle December 22 2022]“It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency,”
There is so much to unpack here – I am not even going to start. I will say that the invented term ‘conspiracy theorist’ is losing all power and meaning and makes them look embarrassingly puerile.
• NATO Could Take Out Russia in 3 Days: Congressman (NW)
Seeing this; I broke into a belly laughter…
Sorry. I couldn’t wait to read the rest before posting my immediate reaction to total ignorance on such a grand scale…………………Oxy, makes them look embarrassingly puerile or senile? Maybe both.

Absolutely disgusting. Uni- Party War Pigs.
House GOP locates emails, texts showing Pelosi office directly involved in failed Jan. 6 security from Just The News
But its most explosive revelations involved text and email messages showing that two key staffers in Pelosi’s office attended regular meetings to discuss the security plan for Jan. 6 dating back to early December 2020 and that Pelosi’s top aide even edited some of the plans. Most of those discussions and meetings excluded Republican lawmakers in the House, the report noted.
‘Then-House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving—who served on the Capitol Police Board by virtue of his position—succumbed to political pressures from the Office of Speaker Pelosi and House Democrat leadership leading up to January 6, 2021,’ the report said. ‘He coordinated closely with the Speaker and her staff and left Republicans out of important discussions related to security.’
There is so much to unpack here – I am not even going to start. I will say that the invented term ‘conspiracy theorist’ is losing all power and meaning and makes them look embarrassingly puerile.
Yes, much the same way the accusation “communist” pretty much became the equivalent of “I hate you” in response to critics of Ronald Reagan’s neo-conservative foreign policy in the early eighties.
Joe “what was the second question” Biden plays the Jew Card and also claims Putin is going after orphanages…
Comedian dick player calls Putin a terrorist…
Hair sniffer in Chief answers press questions on note cards and drifts off into rambling incomplete sentences. Biden, like Bush Shrub also looks into they souls of eyes as Bush did Putin… and fawns over the beggar midget. Must see it to believe it- warning. It’s grotesque.

Than living as a puppet or a slave“Evidence in Nord Stream Sabotage Doesn’t Point to Russia: Washington Post”
They are kidding, right? I’m sure it was the underwear gnomes. Profit!
“With winter approaching, it appeared the Kremlin intended to strangle the flow of energy to millions across the continent, an act of “blackmail,”
“Blackmail”? In order to raise prices…that Russia then cannot deliver on? Um, also blackmail is a thing you DON’T do. I WON’T send this to your wife if you send me money. To punch somebody isn’t blackmail: it’s punching.
I’ve got a craaaazie idea: ask Sweden, the nation with the pipes and evidence? Maybe they know. WaPo? NOPE.
“The visit will underscore the United States’ steadfast commitment to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes,”
By claiming we are NOT in the war and providing NOTHING useful. Want an old .38 revolver? I’m your huckleberry. Want a weapon that might change things? Hahahaha you jest. We want dead slavs and an empty Ukraine growing wheat with robotic tractors, shipped to Belgium.
“NATO Could Take Out Russia in 3 Days: Kinzinger (NW)”
Well that should really calm things down. What was it about world leaders threatening nuclear war with glee? Miss Truss for one, applauded by British seals. Ar! Ar!
They need a war. NOW. Powell’s work is biting and the WEF/Davos can’t hold on by their nails much longer.
Quite obviously Kinzinger is insane. Use your head for 10 seconds: what is “Taking out” mean, that sterile euphemism? Are we planning on occupying 12 time zones the way we couldn’t occupy 10 square blocks in Baghdad? So our “Taking out” means there’s no way Russia could ever get back at us, ever, never again in all history? If we “Take them out” the rest of the world will be happy, applaud, and not join together to destroy us out of basic self-defense?
All this besides what he’s saying is clearly impossible in 10 different ways. We know every nuclear sub and can destroy it. We have every nuclear Sarmat and can prevent them. We know about torpedo tsunami drones everywhere off the coast, and we have solved the Soviet “dead hand” system. We won’t lose so much as a weather buoy.
No EMPs will disrupt all systems, the internet won’t go down when they knock out all our satellites – or only 4-5 satellites that then Kessler into all the others worldwide. This internet outage won’t take out our phone and communication system that allows us to ship bread and parts to all humans in our borders.
Uh. And Huh. Good thing Congress doesn’t run a thing, I guess!!
“Giving Kiev all the weapons it wants might break NATO, US President Joe Biden said”
Huh? NATO supreme high commander said if Ukraine DOESN’T get all the weapons it wants, it will break NATO. …Sounds like you guys are admitting a loss. You’ve surrendered? Like Kissinger did? Glad to hear it.
Does anyone else get the idea all $100B isn’t going to Ukraine which can’t field a Toyota, but to the WEF to keep the EU from imploding?
“Moscow is confronted by the military capabilities of “almost all major NATO countries,” the Russian president has said:
That’s the opposite of Kinzinger, who says NATO would defeat them in 3 days, implying NATO isn’t there and isn’t fighting.
“He also said that the Russian forces have acquired a great deal of combat experience during the conflict.”
Just what I was thinking, and how they’re re-focusing themselves on the artillery-drone methods that work so well so cheaply. They haven’t had to pull out any of their fancy space weapons yet, which likely radically change the field all over again. Arranging a pre-war is Anglo handbook: the Spanish Civil War served that purpose last time. They want to test their new toys, hone new tactics to minimize casualties at everyone else’s expense.
“NATO has claimed that while it supports Ukraine militarily, it is not a party to the conflict.”
What is a “party to the conflict”? Can we ask a UN court? If you send $100 billion dollars? $1,000 Billion? If you send 500 troops? 5,000? 50,000? Because NATO has already sent 5,000 out of Poland alone.
If you provide 100% of Military Intel 24/7 including an entire network of global satellites for free? If you blow their pipelines and attack their nuclear airbases? When, exactly?
“Kremlin Reacts to Patriot Missiles for Ukraine (ZH)”
My impression was Patriots were the next best thing to having nothing at all. Does anyone have a solid update on their modern capabilities? Also they were accused that Ukraine would immediately use them “offensively,” whatever that means.
“Mr. Zelensky is coming to Washington seeking “weapons, weapons, and more weapons.”
Come to think of it, why would he do this? He has no men. Who will use the weapons? NPCs in the Metaverse?
“Crooke also writes that the neocons do not look back or apologize. No power hungry crazies ever do that. Never. It is as if they drive a vehicle with faulty brakes, no reverse gear and a cracked and dirty windshield.”
If they’re so bad then who installs them? You just said they lack all support from the people. So they have bad judgment and no tactical sense. They can’t get votes. Yet they’re constantly in power for more than 100 years in a row. This is all a coincidence for us? Bad luck?
As they’d say in Latin: Qui imperium pupa? Who puppets the puppet? Safe, far away in darkness, so nothing changes at all when Liz Cheney goes away. Policy is identical under Clinton, Bush, Obama (who kept Bush’s cabinet), Trump, and Biden?
“Lest we forget, as Russian soldiers were camped out miles from the border,”
Which border? You mean back in Jan 2022 when the Russian Army was in Russia? Remember that? “How DARE they?” “What is the Russian Army doing in EUROPE???” “…Um, Minister? Russia is part of Europe.”
“Well that’s no excuse! Tell them to move the Russian Army out of Russia and some place safer.”
Putin: “Your wish is my command. Russian Army no longer in Russia.”
Anyway, since they can’t think and words have no meaning, they constantly construct sentences and ideas like this. “The baddie bads are bad! Me no like like, me like-like what like!” It’s just plain ol’ “Newspeak”, the language of infants.
“Elon Musk on Tuesday night said that Twitter was on course for $3 billion of negative cashflow before he stepped in and nuked more than half the company.”
We covered the lawsuit he’ll shortly make on the fraudulent basis for his purchase. Let’s take the other side: He paid $44B and has lost 2/3rds of it. Of course. But look at where the money came from: unlike us pikers, he doesn’t have $44B in a HSBC savings account. It’s trapped in stock. So he sold $44B (roughly, this is all complex) at the dead top of Tesla’s stock, and moved it sideways into Twitter. Tesla fell 2/3rds anyway. Conclusion? He didn’t lose any money yet, only money he would have lost anyway had he NOT bought it.
See what I mean? To him so far it may be a wash. Now if only Bezos would have sold at the top and bought Exxon and GE. –But again, unlike us pikers, he can’t. His buying isn’t “stock” it’s a “Takeover” which makes it political, and he’d have to defend his stake against others who would destroy his mere stock purchase to keep control of their own feifdoms.
“Elon’s doing it wrong” says the worst Tech CEO on planet earth, ever in all history. Hey Bill: call me back when your product functions – at all – and I’m not also being spied on AS WELL AS having to reboot all the time, mostly for security hole patches that should never have been there in the first place. Brrrrr. Dreadful. His product is as if a car made out of sticks, mud, and spiders. I’m sure Elon’s looking for “pro tips”. Elon may not be an engineer and knows nothing about cars, but he IS a software programmer. Unlike you.

“criminal prosecution of the corpulent “Hairy Plotter”, who commingled and stole the client money in his FTX exchange to fund a series of terrible crypto bets at his personal hedge fund Alameda,”
Whoa whoa whoa: I’m down with this, but Alameda is ELLISON’S company. She had total daily operations over it. No comingling could happen without her. I’ve been waiting for this “Poor innocent woman never done no wrong” “It’s the big bad man” story, and here it is! That’s why her parents released the “ex-gilfriend” defense last month when it seems to be no more than a slutty hookup. Yup. Women have no free agency, they are but wee helpless children before the awe-inspiring power of men. Potent, virile Manly men like SBF. So she didn’t know a thing. Awwwwwww…. The usual. Didn’t Liz Holmes do this as well? As CEO she didn’t know nothin’ it was that OTHER guy (who did also get convicted) what dun it?
Pretty sick of this “Women run the world” “Women are better than men” all decade, but then if anything happens they hide and point at the nearest man-object to blame. Pick one. If women are equal in a slightest, this defense shouldn’t occur to anyone. Every woman – and man – hearing it should be offended in the highest and go nuclear on them. Setting back women’s rights faster than Spain.

It’s official reality you can look up for yourself and has been on TV.

You know, the crime sitting there that you are all trying to ignore. All this talk of “we must fix ourselves” is total crap if you don’t go after the crook at the top. Until then, you are all just criminal politicians frightened of Ursula’s owner.

Kremlin assesses Zelensky-Biden meeting
Spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, insists both leaders are reluctant to address Moscow’s concernsThe Kremlin spokesperson went on to lament the fact that the US president had failed to warn his Ukrainian colleague against shelling residential areas in Donbass. He also said that neither side called for peace.
According to Peskov, the US is continuing to wage war against Russia indirectly, “to the last Ukrainian.”

I have also put my wool rugs outside to sterilize them of wool munchers, and I’ve opened the closet windows to kill them, there, as well.
It’s brutally beautiful.Watching President Zelensky present last night, and the PBS discussion afterward, reminded me of a high school football game pep rally.

No really, Nazilensky is actually losing his mind in public speeches now.
Putin being a life long devotee of Kudo would have a enjoyable time of finishing off a cokehead who plays piano duets naked with his penis on TV ‘talent’ shows.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL SUNG IN THREE-PART HARMONY BY GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, FUTURE AND PAST
Present
Still, Santa is the icon that stole Christmas away from the rowdy boys and horny habits of Saturnalian Xmas, with married people in cross-dress committing adultery in the backroom or alley, or, often enough, in the street – if the hooch be stout enough and the snow sufficiently soft – and gave it to the children and their families and, alas, the heavy players on the board of directors at Disney, Wal-Mart, Mattel et al.Santa and his creator/followers like Clement Moore (who wrote “The Night Before Christmas”), and Mel Torme (who co-authored “The Christmas Song”), made it clear that Christmas ain’t shit without the wee ones. Excuse my Saxonish; ‘shit’ is an old Saxon peasant term for, well, you know, but I feel just as strongly about children all snug in their beds with sugarplum fairies dancing in their heads as do you. Despite all the peace in our time in this North American land, it is still not such an easy time for kids and most of us are fairly inadequate as parents although our children love us anyway, and if that ain’t the miracle of Christmas or Chanukah or Kwanzaa or Saturnalia or…then my name’s Jimmy Stewart and I’m jumping off that bridge after all, dammit.
How come every time an angel gets its wings some clown rings MY doorbell singing “Frosty The Snowman” off key? I mean, it’s Christmas after all and I’ve got presents to wrap and kids going psycho under the influence of sugar, chocolate and 3-D commercials for toys that make “Rock’Em Sock’Em Robots” look like hugathons. (“…and may the best robot reclaim its battered inner child from its vanquished opponent in MORTAL COMBAT!!!!! Die sucker…!”)
It is then, as the children race around the tree on Christmas morn, firing toy phasers which imitate the sights and sounds of real weapons of the future, weapons which will someday paralyze the enemy with migraine mindrays that not only consume the enemy with pain but also fill them with the desire to sacrifice their children, thereby hastening war’s end and returning us to the good old days of Cronus and offerings of severed heads and whatever those little clay dolls stood in for…it is then one realizes that you can take the boy out of the senseless revelry but you can’t take the senseless revelry out of the boy.
Future
Did anyone catch that TV special a few years back, Santa Versus The Abominable Snowmen, (or men in Abominable Snowman suits)? Featuring an high tech battle much like the second Star Wars movie wherein gigantic walking war tanks fought in the snow fields of some forlorn, frozen planet, it almost seemed like a bit of Wotan or Marduk returning to do battle with the forces of Chaos (which still run rampant during the Holidaze). “Only xx shopping days till Xmas” sounds a little like a countdown to Armageddon. Come to think of it, if there’s a guy tough enough to battle the demons of solsticial darkness, it would be a guy who lives in the North Pole. A guy who can fire toys down chimneys like so many smartbombs is just the guy to lob one down the hatch of those perennial death stars, Zrvan cum Cronus cum Saturnus.Cultural icons are ever changing. If Santa doesn’t watch out he’ll become too naughty and not nice enough and George Lucas will do a leveraged buyout of Santa’s franchise. Instead of Santa, we’ll have a digitally animated Obie Wan Kanobi, (the ‘dead’ spectral version who talks in Luke Skywalker’s head at critical junctures), starring as a new Xmas hero who saves the world from a man in a Grinch Vader suit. Christmas could become the intergalactic special effects extravaganza that Disney, Mattel, and Wal-Mart must surely desire: “Jolly Old Saint Obie Wan, lend your ears this way, Don’t you miss a single word the TV made me say; Suzy wants a droid that talks, or a cloned white horse; Jimmy wants a lightsabre ‘cause he trusts in force…”
Currently, Christmas as THE prime solsticial festival seems inflated beyond its effective spiritual carrying capacity. Magic, redemption, divinity, destiny – along with material craving – are big, even bigger than ever, but no longer so centered about Christmas (and Christianity?) as they were in, say, 1946 when It’s A Wonderful Life hit the theatres, or 1947, when Miracle on 34th Street was released. If anything, Santa and Christmas seem to be hearkening back towards earlier times. ‘Old Father Christmas’ is resurgent even as Hollywood and Madison Avenue make Santa over into a high-tech superhero. (Superman, too, had his ‘Fortress of Solitude’ near the North Pole.)
Currently the retrospective focus seems to be on the Victorian era, when ‘modern’ Christmas fully crystallized, with medieval ambiences appearing in the background tapestry, but I suspect Old Man Saturn is primping for a comeback bid. Considering an ancient god to be the kind of guy who has everything and is, therefore, a bear to Xmas shop for, I recommend a visit to the local candles & ceramics shop.
Even so, it is a time of great beauty, joy and wonder. It has to be. The days grow short as the nights grow long and the frost bears down while the slush slings up. We couldn’t survive these days without our magical ministrations.
“To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made, walking in a winter wonderland”…now there’s an incantation to get one through to spring.
Past
“God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing ye dismay.” I can hear an ancestor of Andy Griffith singing that to a crowd of one-drink-too-many Yorkshire Christmas revelers, two or three centuries back, as he pours them all a draft of the barkeep’s finest while never letting on to the water in the mix or the blunderbuss under the bar loaded with peppercorns and rocksalt.“Remember Christ our Sa-ay-vyor was born on Christmas Day.” He sings badly, so horribly awful that the men break out in laughter. The bad boys at the bar lighten up and before long are singing “Good King Wenceslas” and “Greensleeves” and then, from over in the corner, far from the fire, where the mead’s warmth vies with the door’s draft, a strong if sloppy baritone sings out the words to a strange Noel they’ve never heard before: “Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shi-i-ning, this is the night of our dear Savior’s birth…”
As the boys nod and relax to the tune, Andy picks it up, loud and awful, like my Uncle Gayle trying to sing “I Pagliacci” or your Aunt Mimi attempting suicide by Streisand karaoke. Everyone takes courage from his tunelessness and joins in.
Several are soon asleep. The older or simply wiser spread straw for the snorers and droolers, asking neither Sheriff Andy’s nor the taverner’s permission but nodding respectfully to signal the quiescence of the night’s revels. Gathering around the fire, they quietly sing tunes going back a thousand years, venturing a little two-and-three-part-harmony and throwing Andy a diesucker glare when he dares to join in, but allowing him a few sly grins when he just hums along. He’s had himself a few now that trouble seems unlikely.
The taverner, a wise businessman, leaves a gallon of warm mulled cider as one for the road for those venturing home tonight. He places a donations jar prominently on the firemantle, marked “For Goode Will and Good Olde Wylliaume”, Wylliaume being the taverner’s name. He’s had a hard time keeping his Christmas losses down to a survivable hardship; Christmas revelers expect and demand a taverner to pretty much give the house away during Yuletide. In the spirit of requisite giving, he’s served mostly watered-down swill but he’s a good fellow and wishes them well enough on their journeys homeward. The mulled cider he has left out is spiked with an half gallon of true applejack from, he was told, the orchards of Brittany. Goode shyte, that stuff.
He shuffles bedward. He’ll have to wake up early to quicken the fire and clean out the slop pails before someone wakes up to the stink and loses the rest of their Christmas cookies. He’ll put sausage and bread out for the lads along with a pint per man’s share of Old Hairdog Ciderjack, reckoned strong and sweet enough to light their way home where they’ll spend Christmas Day in glorious recovery in an era when coffee was a mysterious wonder drug found only in London’s priciest establishments.
So, as the church bells toll your head apart announcing Christ’s Mass, ask not for whom the bell tolls, oy vey, it tolls for thee. Shyte. Get thine arse up and down to church with thy wife and kids, for aren’t ye a good fellow? Who would give their child a rooty-toot-toot or rummy-tum-tum under those circumstances?
Dark days. Long nights. These are the times to count your blessings, head by tousled head by tinselled headache. Whether one celebrates the Christchild of Bethlehem or Claus of Toyland, solstice time in America has been made into a National Children’s Holiday, unofficially but in sooth, and however maudlin and platitudinous it may sound – especially with a word like ‘platitudinous’ stuck in your gob like a stone in a blanket – magic is obtained thereby. And magic is a very good thing.Robin Morrison, 1997

Misquoting Carlin: “It’s a freak show. And if you live on Airstrip One, Two, Three, Four or Airstrip Five, you’ve got a seat in the front row.”
The Empire of Lies is putting on bigger and better freaks as time goes by. An imposter who pretends he’s English. A walking suit that can mumble. A clown whose is the son of a clown. A nonentity psychopath who cannot come up with anything to match “They’re throwing their own children to the sharks.” (Howard). An actress who does real Scorpion and Frog performances.
The Cheese Lady: “I’m ready to push the nuclear [war] button. And thanks for the allowance for the rest of my life. I quite enjoyed being prime minister for a few weeks, standing up and making idiotic pronouncements. And the more idiotic the things I said were, the more the other actors applauded.”
What comes next? Plywood, cardboard and canvas weapons systems? “Oh, we’ve already done that trick.”
“We could raise interest rates.”
“Or lower them.’
“How about we raise interest rates this month and lower them next month.”
“Yeah. And cut taxes for high our friends, so the money can ‘trickle down’ to the idiots who vote for us.”
In 2023, I’m expecting Poland and Hungry, on behalf of the U.N., as a cease fire, amnesty, to move 10,000 peacekeepers into some key regions to protects and aid those regions of Ukraine so that Russia will not invade those portions. Kiev will be protected by the patriots.
There is only in fine, one vital question.
Will the USA agree to, and find its place in, what is now called a ‘multipolar world’ ?
How, when, in function of what, could, would, the US come to submit to such an arrangement? I. e:
> The USA as no longer a dominating power, merely one country amongst many, with similar, not too different, clout, influence, kudos, commercial control, on par with for ex., Germany, China, Italy, Iran, Brazil, South Africa (etc.)
> With international relations (commerce, rules of war, and more) subject to some kind of international arbitrage (some kind of Intl. Body, Court)
> Implying that the USA gives up military dominance / threats / etc.
Sounds very unlikely, right?
Apparently nobody is optimistic about the USA bowing down, retreating gracefully…
Russia, China, in first place, have figured, judged, that the US will not give up its dominant position, at any cost, will never negotiate, so it is Do or Die. (What tht leads to horrific..)

The globalist technocrats are intent on monopolizing the entire food supply. They already have a monopoly on grains and have made headway in genetically engineered (GE) seafood. The next targets include lab-grown meats and dairy substitutes
Biomilq, made from cultured breast tissue, will be marketed as a breast milk substitute
The company Helaina is working on creating glycoproteins “identical to those found in breast milk.” Those proteins can then be added to a variety of infant formulas, seniors’ nutrition and, eventually, all sorts of foods
The justification for creating synthetic milk substitutes is, of course, preventing and reversing “climate change.” That’s the justification used to sell virtually all fake foods. In reality, however, they will perpetuate and worsen adverse effects on the environment
Lab-created foods are ultraprocessed and therefore qualify as junk food. Fake meat and dairy cannot replace the complex mix of nutrients found in grass fed beef and dairy, and it’s likely that consuming ultraprocessed meat and milk alternatives may lead to many of the same health issues that are caused by a processed food diet
The starting ingredients in fermented synthetic biology products are cheap sugars derived from GE corn and soy. All GE crops are grown in environmentally destructive monocultures, and use loads of herbicides such as glyphosate, pesticides like neonicotinoids and synthetic fertilizers. As a result, they’re loaded with chemical residues that end up in the final producthttps://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/12/22/biomilq-fake-milk.
It’s definitely “It’s New Math.” err Doctor. They could count millions of votes in one commercial break for talent shows! But months for an election? Theatre? They don’t “do” math anymore they just say numbers, no actual counting because no one knows how to count much less add or subtract. Multiply, divide? Huh? Whatzat?
Since we seem to have reached the modern-day equivalent of June/July 1914 or July/August of 1939, it would pay everyone with a brain that still functions properly to make their final preparations for what will be -for most people- the shittiest year in human history.
Nate highlights many aspects of the rapidly escalating shitstorm in his latest video:
There were a few comments in email and on Resilience about the potential for the wealthy to create havens where they can continue to live as they do now while the rest of us fall into chaos. I’m pretty sure the wealthy would like us to think that this is possible so they can use it as a scare tactic to keep us beholden to them. Make just enough of us believe that we’ll be included in the safety net to keep all of us from abandoning them… Some of the more delusional may actually believe it themselves. There are indisputably many who are buying up bunkers and islands with the objective of building a compound in which to ride out the worst of the messes.
But… reality?
…………………………………………..
So, let’s just agree that no compounds are going to be possible without this full flow of stuff all around the globe. All the stuff that goes into maintaining a compound is dependent on energy. Moreover, all that stuff is dependent on human labor — which is not going to be had for money (which won’t be much of a thing) or love (because nobody loves these assholes…). But… if they want to delude themselves into believing that a compound will work, that they can escape the disasters they’ve created, I think maybe we just let them. Let the billionaires go off to their fitting ends. Maybe we can think more clearly without all the noise and stress they generate.George Mc, a commenter over at OffG, directed me to this piece on substack. Here’s a quote:
“There are many parallels between gender identity theory and religion. The idea of an internal sense of self that is divorced from the body is akin to the idea of a soul. Pride month and other ‘holy days’ are quasi-religious celebrations with people demonstrating belief by draping flags over buildings and in windows, changing business logos to rainbow colours, and participating in public festivities. The new priestly caste could be said to be made up of the representatives of LGBTI+ groups who often have a direct ear to the government and deem pronouncements on directions that should be taken at government level.
Gender identity proponents use mantras, slogans and chants that sometimes sound like ritual incantations. People are expected to publicly affirm belief by announcing pronouns and by using pronouns in email signatures and in social media bios. Gender transition has parallels with the religious idea of being born again, or of reincarnation. There is a hierarchical type of caste system with tiers based on levels of privilege and oppression or victimhood.”

However, according to many experts, this right is supplemented by another right – the right of the state not to provide any services to a person without submitting biometrics. This technology has already been tested in the case of formally “voluntary” COVID vaccination, without which people were suspended from work without pay.”If NATO attacks Russia, its capitals would be destroyed. And it wouldn’t take 3 days.
and Russia’s cities , all two of them will remain unscathed?
Remember how the Russian army was going to run through Ukraine in three weeks?
Commenter flora provided this link to Bertram Gross’s fine 1980 book ‘Friendly Fascism’:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R215XVDWQDLO4R/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttlI’d argue though that the fascism is not so friendly these days. It’s a good book, with the plan well-datailed.
“what’s a book?”
8. One Twitter official who spoke to me said he feels deceived by the covert shift. Still, many emails from throughout 2020 show that high-level Twitter executives were well aware of DoD’s vast network of fake accounts & covert propaganda and did not suspend the accounts.
9. For example, Twitter lawyer Jim Baker mused in a July 2020 email, about an upcoming DoD meeting, that the Pentagon used “poor tradecraft” in setting up its network, and were seeking strategies for not exposing the accounts that are “linked to each other or to DoD or the USG.”
10. Stacia Cardille, another Twitter attorney, replied that the Pentagon wanted a SCIF & may want to retroactively classify its social media activities “to obfuscate their activity in this space, and that this may represent an overclassification to avoid embarrassment.”Regarding FTX and SBF crimes.
This is a classic case where government prosecutors are under tremendous political pressure to ensure there is no political fall out by burying this crime out of public view.
The criminals know this too.
That is why they behaved the way they did.
There will be no public trials.
This is the best interests of all parties involved.
