ParticipantOh, P.S. yes I’m seeing a firehose of money-accounts pushing Derp State garbage. It’s also very lumpy, like one day all Woke, then whoever drained their account is out, so Slava Ukraine! Appears. Then suddenly no accounts care about that and it’s Pro-Euro. Neither the type, the language, nor the clustering indicates organic communication.
I fact, as of 24h two constantly-posting accounts — Ukraine and DC Employees – are suddenly every third post in my feed. Instantly. Gee, it’s almost like they got an algo to post them to the top all of a sudden. …Like only a computer expert or paid group can do.
I fact, let me double down: in the last few hours they’ve managed to erase and shove out everyone else altogether. Trying to keep a 50-50 which can only be done with savage pruning (Liberals don’t have jobs and can be on 24h) I think I may be down to zero even Center-right.
“ Stephen Miller Uses Sock Puppets To Explain Constitution To White House Press Corps” – Bbee
Oh and the “Stole the election” (That Kamala didn’t protest) is trying another run. Seeing if they can get traction. Their evidence seems to be “I’m sure of it”. Uh huh. And Trump is also a Soviet asset since 1987. To a country that doesn’t exist. Yeah, I totally saw that through all the 90s. Nothing but suspicious moves helping Russia.
Example: “The engineered results are statistically impossible. Data is evidence and it suggests manipulation in at least 6 swing states. She wasn’t an unpopular candidate. He was.”
Yeah, I noticed how popular she was, not getting 3% in Primary and zero votes in her own party. But I made that up in my head just now. These accounts have 20k followers and the same 100 follows. Normal people have like 90.
“Trump just told a group of governors – Democrats included – they need to switch to paper ballots
That’s fun and all, but he has no jurisdiction over this. Like a lot of things that are said lately.
“FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL “I want to know the bank records,”
He can’t do this without allegation, appearance of a crime. …Oh wait. Nevermind.
Kash: Why do they hate brown people so much?
Kennedy? Don’t believe it. WTF. There’s no way there aren’t records that are relevant, even if to cut through the chaff they’ve put up to hide the keys.
Post office: Disagree. It’s also a Constitutional Office. But like everywhere, it’s clear there needs to be a shakeup, they’re ossified and not moving. Also a trove of Left, DEI, and election rigging. Oh well, not a hill I’ll die on.
Boxing: The man did not “transition”, he should be more careful. He was born like XXY.
50% minerals, Starlink, etc. Musk says this is also a lie. The media is putting up as many lies as the Admin does press releases – of course. “If We Said It, It’s False!” I’m sorry I won’t have time to double-check which may be important. It wouldn’t shock me for Musk to do that, but…
They’re also like “Trump-Ukraine” Trump isn’t doing Jack to Ukraine except leaving it alone. What we’re doing is NOT ADDING. People with BPD can’t tell the difference between active and passive, between me and you. DOING NOTHING is not equivalent to give $300B in arms.
“Panic has predictably ensued over Elon Musk’s requirement that all federal employees provide a five bullet point summary of what they accomplished last week,”
What the actual? If you can’t name even 5 things you did, you really should be fired. But this is for those TokToks of Twitter/Buzzfeed employees, not working, going to yoga, getting a latte in the lobby, calling in to a single 1hr meeting a day…

Seems very unlikely. How about they need to launder another $3B to sink AfD?

ParticipantFollowing Sargon “The Era of Consensus Politics is over. We are entering into an era of Power Politics.” That is, we WERE, as he said, saying we should build consensus, make sure the other side is all on board, and then move forward as one. One nation, one People. One Uniparty I guess. But that only can happen when both sides are playing. If one side is NOT consensus politics, and wants to secretly play only Power Politics, (as Europe pretends to do), me and nobody else, then eventually the other side does too.
This is in AltHist’s run that the ratchet is entirely to the Left. They claim it’s to the Right but we have a pro gay marriage Hitler, with a Hindu cabinet, for example. The social mores of the deepest conservative states 2025 are too far left for bearded gay orgy anarchists in 1959. The size of the government has probably transcended the USSR. Those are LEFT issues. That’s where you “Compromise” each term but on a ratchet. Half and half. Then next year half of the half. Then half of half of the half. We’re at 50>75>82>91% already. Which is demonstrably true.
But nothing moves one direction forever, so what happens when the cycle ends? Right power acts different than Left power. Male power is different from Female power. Female, Left, power is to build a consensus that is false using passive-aggressive manipulation and lies, gossip about others you can’t check and internal blackmail. Right power is to roll in, grab everyone, heads rolls and in an hour everything is under order again.
POWER Politics. As Sargon said, “WE NO LONGER CARE WHAT YOU THINK.”
“Frankly, I don’t care, Margaret.”
And whyyyyyy don’t they, We, care? Because as he said, NO MATTER WHAT YOU OFFER ISN’T ENOUGH. There is NO state, anywhere, at any time, under any conditions, they would ever accept. You could be the most abject slave, miserable in subservience and poverty, cringing obedience, it would not be enough. Ask any mean girl’s table OR THE LEFT PROCESS FROM 1969 TO NOW. “Oh we just want to be married, though” America: Okay, here ya go! Oh we just want to cut up and sterilize your kids though. Like A YEAR later. Equal power, equal jobs, all that. Okay, well you’re on top of every stat of any group we can find, in the history of the universe. “It’s not enough though. Some white guys still own a house.”
Continuing, as he says, for the love of God, “CAN YOU NOT BE REASONED WITH???” Is there NO level at which you can concede ANYTHING, any peace, any level of equality and satisfaction. No.
Okay then: Power Politics. That’s what all that means.February 23, 2025 at 2:42 pm #182903Noirette
ParticipantSo, from several articles up top (ZH, RT, etc.) Zelensky is toast.
He was installed by ‘soft’ US power, in conjunction with some URK oligarchs.
Recall Yushchenko Prez. of UKR (2005-2010), a former top bankster, married at the time to a well-connected Ukrainian – American woman, Katerina, a former US State Departement Official, ex. “Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs.” (this title from wiki.) He was voted in legitimately it seems…The election was contested, opponent was Yanukovitch, it was re-run, and he won again. (European Dreams.)
The Orange Revolution (typical color revol. thingie) was launched, see here for some pix. (Link is prop..)
—> it failed. Yushchenko was poisoned with Dioxin but survived (other story.) In 2010, Yanukovitch, pro balance between Russia and Europe (opponent, Yulia Tymoshenko, the Lady of the Braids) was elected. This election was also contested, but the original result was upheld by ‘Courts.’
————
Zelensky (elected 2019) defeated Poroshenko, mostly imho because of his TV-actor role, etc. He is of course Puppet Supreme. So.. we see a long history of infiltration and Kontrol of UKR, and here I have only pointed to POL matters reported on in the MSM, leaving aside all Economics, deals between Corps, and other, which needs deep digs.February 23, 2025 at 2:56 pm #182904zerosum

Wired video, surveillance, normalizingPerhaps. I teach technology classes at a local retirement community. On multiple occasions, I have touched on the topic of surveillance. The seniors are somewhat aware — even the left-leaning ones — and they are concerned. They ask me questions, they start talking about it in the class. Many want to know more. But they are hampered by the fact that most barely understand the technology in their pocket, and making changes to protect privacy requires a somewhat more thorough understanding of their devices than they currently have. Not to mention, even those without dementia have their minds somewhat clouded by years of statin use, plus all of the other prescription drugs they are on. Our culture largely ignores privacy issues, and daily life lulls into complacency about it.
I am typing this out on an iPad…and I remind myself that I should shut off the friggin’ WiFi when I’m leaving home with it so that it doesn’t record every WiFi SSID that it encounters when I take it from the house. I’m probably better off slipping it into a faraday cage bag — I won’t remember to shut off the WiFi.
To change the surveillance, it has to become a subject of regular conversation, so that people are reminded about it, day in and day out.

ParticipantThe really interesting thing for me about Sargon/Carl Benjamin is how he started out in Gamergate. In pretty much any comments section for any video he appears in, there is a post: “I just wanted to play video games”
They attacked sub-groups first, sub-communities off the beaten path – for practice and leverage against larger targets. Relentlessly. How do the veterans of Gamergate put it – which is practically everyone who has played video games in the last 2 decades?
(Leftist: “Why are you against us now? Why relentlessly so? Who radicalized you? Etc”)
“Because video games made it clear that there was nothing small enough to escape their destructive praxis, that there was no one thing to be left alone. “All is political” is a declaration of intent. “We will MAKE everything political” was the actual statement behind it. You’re right, you’ve made everything political, literally.”
Since then, all sorts of disparate personalities have found each other — Jordan Peterson, Jonathan Pagaeu, Benjamin Boyce, The Distributist, Sargon — people coming from wildly different viewpoints and relatively narrow frames of interest discovering much the same things and then coalescing JUST enough for easy transport between silos.
There’s now a gradual, easy ramp to total understanding of what the marxsts-wokeists believe, are doing, how they do it, what they want, etc. And to the better alternatives to it. Who caused this connectivity-of-silos and conscious awareness? Relentless leftists battering away arrogantly, rudely, without scruples. The fun police. Miserable, hateful killjoys showing up EVERYWHERE.
There’s one last hurdle for normies to get onboard with the ongoing dismantlement of all the leftist structures – dismantlement? – Sure! It is a system, you see, and it’s the system that causes all the problems. So we have to tear it all down. We need to criticize it. Criticize it everywhere, all the time.
Did not Marcuse say that revolution and criticism must NEVER stop? What do you criticize, once you’ve criticized everything else? What do you obediently deconstruct once you’ve done everything else. Aye-aye cap’n. Gotta criticize, deconstruct, and tear down that structure of yours. The commie in Red October captaining the Akula who disabled his torpedo safeties. Perfect.
What last hurdle for normies? Realized in a conversation with my wife – everyone in her circle is blue square.
She explained that there are radicals on both sides and she is caught in the middle wanting compromise and to stop politicizing everything – says both radical sides keep politicizing. And she says these radicals both keep saying if you are not with me you are against me.
I explained I am a slightly left leaning, previously Obama voting liberal. I want to end the 800 military bases, stop overthrowing countries and starting wars. Free speech. Government elected by the people running things for the people. The bill of rights ie human rights exactly. And leave people ALONE, stop politicizing everything. Those who are not for free speech and not for Leave People Alone are against me.
That seemed to end the argument — I want to ask her, ask all normies, CAN’T YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE between “everyone gets to speak freely, leave everyone alone, stop politicizing everything” as an absolute and its opposite? Cannot you see the qualitative differences of the principles?
The Left succeeded at doing what a Cluster B with Narcissistic Personality Disorder does.
“I am a hypocrite. I choose arbitrary “values” and then fight tooth and nail in any underhanded way in a pure power-maneuvering death match with no actual, only pretended quarter. I know I am a liar. I believe that everyone else is no better than me. I am a lying hypocrite, therefore everyone else is a lying hypocrite. I just need to catch them at it. If I act as an insincere unhinged relentless radical, then YOU must also be that thing. If I am tired, you must be tired. If I am not sick, you must not be sick. If I am not hungry, you must not be hungry, etc” NPD 101.
So they’ve won so far as projecting themselves onto their opponents – you are me – they’ve convinced normies that ANYTHING political or politicized has no basis in reality. That it is purely opinion. Pure power-maneuver unrestrained by any common sense factual concern. They’ve convinced everyone that everything is political AND totally abstracted, non-consequential.
Like, my normie wife surrounded by blue square, despite any and all explanations given, STILL probably, gut feeling, believes I did not take the notavax because of feelings, or conspiracy theories, or I caught a weird idea from somewhere, or because of “conservatism” or “right wing” something. No matter how much I reference published peer reviewed scientific studies or statistics.
Notavax > Political > total abstraction — you cannot possibly be telling me facts or explaining a reasoned, logical decision. That doesn’t exist, sir. If you start explaining, all I hear is that you’re radical in your particular way.
So the normies play it as 2 unreasonable people arguing who just need to compromise. Thus the racheting.
When the normies finally start admitting to themselves that there are significantly different principles behind the different sides and that there are real world consequences for different beliefs, the Left will be done for a generation or two. This is their only major spell left.
I pointed out to her that all Trump’s heavy hitters are DEMOCRATS and she responded almost as if the content was non-discernible. like I had only said “Far Right Wing Radical Thing #43” instead of a fact that ought to get a double-take. Like wait, I was a Democrat all my life and it is DEMOCRATS doing all these supposedly “Far Right Wing” radical things?
YES you are tired of purity tests When your left wing college professor friend who is married to a FEMA employee did a purity test on you, asking “what do you think of Kamela” and you KNEW only an obsequious, overdone orgasm of uncritical praise was the correct answer, it pissed you off. But is that REALLY the SAME as a purity test asking if you are for free speech??? IS it?
The couple is worried about the FEMA employee wife losing her job. I inquired if they’d had any complaints about how FEMA was handling North Carolina. Were they outraged when tens of millions went to illegal migrant luxury hotels while NC folks were being kicked out of their budget hotel rooms in the dead of winter? Since they are highly compassionate, super politically aware people who care about the job FEMA does? And overbearingly bring up stuff they are concerned about. But not a peep? (no, not a peep)

The Suppression of a Shameful History
Robin Philpot reviews new book Family Ties: How a Ukrainian Nazi and a living witness link Canada to Ukraine today, by Peter McFarlane
———
A few days before Remembrance Day, November 11, 2024, the Government of Canada announced that it will not release the portion of a report produced by the Commission of Inquiry into War Criminals in Canada (Deschênes Commission) that names 900 Canadians accused of war crimes committed on behalf of the Nazis.Canada admitted these people and others after the Second World War, including many former members of the Waffen SS Galizien (Ukrainian).
We then learned that it was Global Affairs Canada who prevented Library and Archives Canada (LAC) from granting an access to information request to make these names public. According to the LAC spokesperson, the decision to keep the list sealed “was based on concerns regarding risk of harm to international relations.”
Family Ties is a remarkable book on a period of history—the Second World War, before and after—that continues to haunt us. It is also a powerful antidote to Canadian amnesia and especially to the attempts to rewrite the history of that war to justify the warmongering provocations of Washington, Ottawa, London, Paris and other NATO countries.
The Globe and Mail, which along with others filed the access to information request, explained the decision this way: “Global Affairs has repeatedly warned about Russian President Vladimir Putin using disinformation to justify his invasion of Ukraine.”
Remembrance Day? Or Suppression of Remembrance Day?
Should we remind Global Affairs Canada that during the Second World War, these 900 people were fighting for the Nazis, and therefore against our parents and grandparents! Do we have to inform them that 1.2 million Canadians fought against the Nazis, 45,000 of whom never returned?
Fortunately, there are authors and journalists who are keeping a close eye on things, one of whom is Peter McFarlane, author of the excellent just-published book Family Ties, How a Ukrainian Nazi and a Living Witness Link Canada to Ukraine Today (Toronto: James Lorimer, 2024).
McFarlane’s starting point is the double ovation the Canadian parliament granted former member Waffen SS Galizien Yaroslav Hunka in September 2023—a shining case of Canadian governmental amnesia.
But above all, it was the hearty applauding by Chrystia Freeland, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and current candidate to lead the Liberal Party, whose grandfather, Mykhailo Chomiak, was a Nazi collaborator. Though Freeland can’t be held responsible for her grandfather’s crimes, she could at least recognize them and distance herself from them, which she has never done.
The author follows the journey of two families from the same region of Ukraine, then known as Galicia, who arrived in Canada in the wake of the Second World War.

ParticipantYou may be right, I hadn’t thought of that. I’m thinking “we” need to win the argument, but politically, all the “arguments” are refereed by the population. If THEY don’t believe it, whatever you believe or say is immaterial. And as I’ve said for decades, “Just go read ‘the thing’”. Normies are incapable of reading “the thing” – from Contras in Nicaragua, bombings in Korea, Bush telling Iraq to invade Kuwait, it’s all out there – but they won’t look because it’s annoying, and they also know what will happen if “They know.” It will be “responsibility.” so they don’t look, can’t be faulted, and get off. This runs the level down here, where they look at us arguing and say “Why don’t we compromise and have HALF a war” you know one large enough to kill everyone, too small to ever win. Both sides jump at it, because: Realpolitik. Ratchet in. Because to ratchet out requires getting out the belt and “going up there.”
…More because ‘going up there’ requires you having to click off the TV, get a book, and trace what happened here so you know who to belt. …While both kids are lying.
In all cases, the PUBLIC is the decider.
““Far Right Wing Radical Thing #43” I don’t know how it’s done, but that’s what I have all the time now. I call it “being inoculated against” the idea. Like sure, Fox provides talking points too, but does anyone take them seriously? They seem to on the Left.
The part this is so irksome is, you know me as your Cousin/Brother/Friend/Scout Leader/CoWorker and seriously 10 words with me you know I’m no fool nor suffer fools and probably I’ll recite a 2004 NY Times article if we start talking. Nevertheless, EVERY. TIME. I say something, they’re like “No.” I could believe you, a trusted and known ally with years of deep, heartfelt understanding and support, or some fool I barely remember on the Internets,
I MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RANDOM ANON ON THE INTERNET.
Never the person in front of me I have a personal human relationship with. …I’m quite sure you understand this far too well with your wife. Like: “I’m sorry, I thought I was your husband here, we’ve been together years and you know I’m not an idiot? I don’t JUST say “Far Right Wing Radical Thing #43 for my health.” I feel like I’m saying “Meow meow, meow, meow, Fluffy,” for all I’m heard at all.
It’s supernatural.
My guess is they deliver TRAUMA better. They know if they cross me, they’ll be forgiven. If they cross the Left, they will track them down in their house and kill them. Therefore, the calculation is easy: on a practical level, whoever tortures me more is boss. They are the real husband. The guy you live with is just some placeholder.
…There is a certain raw practicality in that.

ParticipantCommunication-
As “Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind” pointed out – they are incapable and unwilling to hear.
A cult member from within the cult, can only hear their leader and the voices of other cult members.
They cannot, and will not hear any voice “outside” the cult- anything an “outsider” says, they will and must turn it around- can’t YOU see ?Listening to a Russian delegation member talking about the recent discussions with the US,
“We (the Russians) were heard, and not just listened to…by the US”Basic reflections on communication-
1) Denial– total rejection of any language, ideas or thoughts presented. This is the default position of modern leftist Dems. You’re the crazy one, you’re wrong, you’re the conspiracy theorist. They eyeroll, smirk and gaslight you, no matter how reasonable, truthful or factual. You are wrong, they are correct, no matter what. Brainwashed and propagandized to the max.
2) Listening– They might listen to your words, but their mind is not silent. They are actively listening, but only so they may conjure a rebuttal, a “yeah butt”, a dismissal of retort, for it is you that cannot listen, you that cannot understand, as they pretend to hear you. Interestingly- listen are the exact same letters as silent, in different order. One must be able to be silent with their mind, to listen and hear another’s views.
3)Hearing– active two way communication. But you have to want to understand and hear the others views. To be open and actively interested in learning, thinking differently, actually hearing processing, reflecting. Leading to critical thinking and discernment.

“easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled”
“no sense talking to fools”
The cliche list goes on, but I think we have all experienced the surreal disconnect and delusion of todays Leftist cult. Covid really highlighted that phenom- the woke/ dei/ trans/ hostile feminist/ hypocrite is just an extension of that cult…
It’s just not worth the time or effort trying to communicate with a modern Leftist… they’re f’n gone and nothings going to bring them back but themselves. Basically like an alcoholic or addict in denial…

ParticipantWhat’s to be found, racing around
You carry your pain wherever you go
Full of the blues and trying to lose
You ain’t gonna learn what you don’t want to knowSo I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
Please help them to learn as well as to see
Capture a glance and make it a dance
Of looking at you looking at meThe black-throated wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a lie that could almost be true
Ah, Mother American Night, here comes the light
I’m turning around, that’s what I’m gonna doBlack Throated Wind

More USAID Fraud? Billions Of US Tax Dollars Are Missing From Haiti Relief Projects.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/more-usaid-fraud-billions-us-tax-dollars-are-missing-haiti-relief-projectsThe question is, if only 2% of the $4.4 billion allotted for Haitian relief was actually used in Haiti, where did the rest of the money go?
As the New York Post points out, 56% went to firms located in or near the US capitol, and apparently the money stayed there.
A comprehensive forensic accounting of these funds (along with all other missing funds) needs to be undertaken and tracked to the recipients.
Not just because it is politically advantageous for the Trump Administration, but because justice needs to be served for once in the case of government fraud.
Americans are tired of seeing bureaucratic conmen get away with it.The public is welcome to debate whether or not any American taxes should be spent in Haiti (proximity to the US does not mean they are entitled), but if the money was already sent and it never arrived, then whoever took it stole from both sides of the equation – Americans and Haitians.
