Rembrandt van Rijn The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp 1632 • Trump Halts Ukraine Aid, State Dept “Totally Went Nuclear” On Foreign Aid (ZH
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle January 25 2025]Ooops, Orange Jew fucked up again …. America, fuck yeah!
Good morning :-))
Pfizer Pfraudster – still doing what they do best …

AI is a bit modern for most on this site, but believe me, it was the golden goose until the Orange Jew leaked that he would be putting 1/2 trillion dollars into making America the kings of AI (wow, the Orange Jew sure knows how to save money). On hearing this, the Chinese released their middle performing AI into the open source world and it blew away anything in America, and just before the offician Orange announcement …. no wonder the Orange Jew put 1/2 trillion bucks into the project, when you are losing, you need to spend big …. as the Titanic that is the USA sinks.
Mind you, we could all see that the 500 billion in AI was a tech industry gift, same as the 500 billion for Mars is a Musk gift, so the scam seems to have been sunk before it was launched …. never fear, a thief like the Orange Jew will still ensure that his oligarchs get their stolen share of America. Deliverables are for pussies, it’s the money men that count. Quite a good deal for Musk, support Trump and get 500 billion in grants, deliver a few rockets, simulate the rest, make a profit of over 400 billion …. nice. Musk’s Jews will be happy with that.
And everybody else on earth laughed at the retarded Americans. The Orange mafia will steal everything that the little folks, like the voters, own by leaving the little people in enormous debt and half the country owned by corporations, in turn owned by foreigners.
Power never relinquishes itself, not without violence. So why the sudden, dramatic reversal, with little opposition, just silence? Isreal is murdering West Bank inhabitants, stealing their homes. Silence. People dropping dead, every day from the clotshots, silence. Chemtrails daily, silence. A Chabad Lubavitcher, who would’nt put his hand near a bible, surrounded by jew tech billionaires…is your savior, really? It’s a set up for a kill. A salt lick for the deer.
Mearsheimer’s observations are simple and brilliant
No ceasefire in Ukronaziland because the Russians are winning it,
In fact they are killin’ it.
Period
Trump is either delusional or pretending to be delusion. Take your pick.
There we be no ceasefire, like ever, with the Russians, Duh’merica has shit the bed with Trust Horizon and the Russians. They won’t trust the Empire of Lies for the rest of the 21st century. Get use to it.
There will be no ‘deal’ for Trump regarding Ukronaziland.
Trump either excepts and acknowledges total defeat in Ukronaziland or he gets sucked into his own ‘Vietnam’
The two Alexes at the Duran have been pointing out for months that Trump should MINIMIZE even talking about Ukronaziland and if he does have to speak about it always, always start the sentence with:
“JOE BIDEN’S war in Ukraine…..blah, blah, blah”
The Pedo Pervert Blob is going to pin the war failing on Trump cause after a couple months it will be Trump’s war if he doesn”t go out of his way to keep it branded as ‘Biden’s Blunder’
Not sure if Trump is smart enough to do that, his ego is Gi-normous
Sending the Right Message is key in diplomacy

• The Addicted, Petty, and Hysterical Left (Victor Davis Hanson)Donald Trump won the 2024 election in part because the left’s hysterical style of attacking Trump no longer worked.
After a decade of this unhinged furor, it proved worthless in winning public supportNo sooner had Hegseth finished his successful audit than the left rounded up his former sister-in-law, now divorced from his brother.
A hardcore Democrat, she confessed she wanted his nomination rejected.
She further claimed—with no evidence—that she had “heard” from his ex-wife that Hegseth was a wife-beater.
His former wife immediately denied the charges.
She pointed to their prior divorce settlement that recorded neither had ever lodged such a complaint against the other.
Next, the left went after Elon Musk.
Recently, he had finished an address by touching his heart and then extending his arm out to the crowd.
To the left, that greeting now became proof of a “Nazi salute.”
Yet in no time, the internet cited photos of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Elizabeth Warren all extending their stiff arms out in identical fashion to Musk.

Come to me now, you know we’re so alone
And life is briefIt was all very painless

Which we never could believeAnd now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?

Canada, health coverage…
If Canada joined the US…I don’t think that it is clear at all what would happen to their health care. It might continue to be state-run. Or, it might get sold to the big US health-care companies. The US health care system has huge problems — as a nation, we are very sick, with many infirmities, and the top of the US health care system sees the people as revenue streams. The Canadian health care system has long waits for things like surgeries and is encouraging euthanasia! As far as the health care systems of the two countries, it is a match made in hell.
hmmmm, ¿ten hour wait or $10,000 deductible?
no thanks, america. i don’t make $1,000 an hour. i’ll wait.

In the United States, the average healthcare spending per person is more than what’s spent in Canada. Over twice as much spent by the US government on healthcare, per capita, than the Canadian government in 2023, according to Statista:

Duran: You’ll be amazed to know that Trump is believing everything his advisers say, Russia lost 1M men, and 60Million in WWII (in which they merely helped), and therefore the sanctions are going to work. Awesome, and he’s going to crush them with low oil prices, but also for Saudi Arabia, high ones.
So you’ll be shocked to find out that probably Russia is going to continue winning, won’t collapse, will get stronger, while gaining allies like Saudi, and Europe is squeezed to powder between us. …All because he believes everything his Insider advisors say. Yup. Total accident when they take the whole country, Europe collapses, BRIICS and the multipolar world prevail, and the U.S. comes out ahead totally on accident! Because I mean, whaddya want? He did Every. Single. Thing the Neocons and lobbyists asked, right? According to their internal memos and news reports!
…Now you boys wouldn’t be LYING to me about how we’re NOT actually winning, wud ya? Golly gee, then all that strategy make no sense!
Uh-huh. And the smart boys at the Duran are all a’scratchin their heads.

That sounds like a response we can get behind. So it’s all illegal but not illegal. Trump is putting up a blizzard of activity so they can’t get a news cycle on anything? Huh? Because Trump owns the media and they love him so much? Why would a Congressman etc dgaf about the news cycle? He’s supposed to read the bill and take bribes from lobbyists.

Hey @aspnaz, glad to see ya again. We were running low on compost, but now that you’re back our piles runneth over.
The so-called “Crypto Industry” is just another way of saying “Ponzi Industry”. Create a chain letter type crypto, run the price up for 48 or 72 hours, maybe a week. Cash out and leave the late arrival suckers wondering why the $1,000 “coin” they just bought for a ten-spot is now worth a dime.
It’s a great way to avoid paying real money for the National Debt back-bill, though.
Don’t worry about trying to stop that from happening. For all practical purposes it’s already done. While you were distracted by all the outrage and confusion the $35 Trillion Debt got operationally disappeared by obtaining bitcoins for a penny @, and then selling them off dollars when they hit at $10,000 @. These fantastically “valuable” coins (that had only cost you a penny per each to start with) were then converted back into dollars at $20,000 per coin and flipped back again when they hit $100 Grand.
Once you’re ahead of that curve the sky is the limit, and you can hedge your Ponzi scheme by using either the Dollars OR the “Crypto de Jour” to buy and own tangible income producing assets like land, factories and enslaved populations.. There’s always a good burned out ravaged place like Lahaina, Los Angeles or Gaza where you can scoop up PRIME real estate for pennies on the Dollar.
When Bitcoin first began, its earliest recorded price was $0.00099 per coin. This was around October 2009 when one user exchanged 5,050 BTC for $5.02 through PayPal. At that time, Bitcoin was a very niche experiment primarily known within communities of cryptography enthusiasts.
And still tangibly nonexistent after all these years. Isn’t that amazing? Back in 2009 you could buy a whole piece of nothing for a tenth of a cent, and today that same whole piece of absolutely nothing at all will cost you $100 Grand.
The question of , “How far have we come ?” can now be answered by describing “How low have we sunk .” It all comes down to how stupid can ya get.

Trump fires multiple federal inspectors general in overnight purge
By Lucia Suarez Sang, Scott MacFarlaneUpdated on: January 25, 2025 / 2:08 PM EST / CBS News
The Trump administration purged at least a dozen federal inspectors general overnight Friday, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News. It is an unprecedented move that will likely result in legal challenges.
In a letter to a White House personnel official, obtained by CBS News on Saturday, the inspector general of the U.S. Small Business Administration said the firings are legally dubious and will be challenged.
Mike Ware, who said in the letter that he was among the firings, argued that he “does not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient.”
According to Ware, he and other inspectors general were sent an email from Sergio Gor, the director of presidential personnel, on Friday informing them that “due to changing priorities, your position as Inspector General . . . is terminated, effective immediately.
Ware, in his letter, recommended Gor reach out to White House legal counsel to discuss the “intended course of action” as “we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.”
Federal law requires the White House to give Congress a full month of warning and case-specific details before firing a federal inspector general.
A source told CBS News that the fired inspectors general include many who were appointed during the first Trump administration.
The White House has not commented on the firings.
Among those fired was Christi Grimm, the inspector general for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CBS News confirmed.
Inspectors general are tasked with finding waste, fraud, abuse and misconduct in the federal agencies. They would be tasked with monitoring President Trump’s agencies and appointees.
Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA), who is a ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, called the firings of inspectors general “an attack on transparency and accountability, essential ingredients in our democratic form of government.”
“Replacing independent inspectors general with political hacks will harm every American who relies on social security, veteran benefits and a fair hearing at IRS on refunds and audits.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said in a statement on Saturday that while “there may be a good reason the IGs were fired,” he’d like further explanation from Mr. Trump.
“Regardless, the 30 day detailed notice of removal that the law demands was not provided to Congress,” he added.
In remarks on the Senate floor on Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) described the Trump administration’s actions as a “chilling purge” and called it “a preview of the lawless approach Donald Trump and his administration are taking far too often as he’s becoming president.”
“These firings are Donald Trump’s way of telling us he is terrified of accountability and is hostile to facts and to transparency,” Schumer said. “Inspectors General can be vital for keeping the government honest.”
@MPSK: it that “last 2 digits are 42” a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy joke for “Deep Mind”?

It’s interesting, like so many things…The US spends twice as much per capita on “healthcare”, but it goes to bureaucrats and corporate skim, not to medical care.

Someone on a ZH page mentioned the diamond market is crashing. So I looked it up and sure enough, diamonds have come down. (boohoo, debeers!). Another article told me the lab diamond “boom is over”. Elsewhere, a reddit commenter said lab diamonds are unethical because of the energy (and labor?) they use. And I thought- at least I end up with a really cool, really, really pretty object when the energy is used.
Unlike bitcoin.
Make ’em big enough, and I could take out a Gorn.P.S.: my hypercool christmas gift this year was a 2″ cube of tungsten.
The reviews were adorable: “this cube has changed my life!”
I agree. I pick it up and heft it every day and grin. And it crushes cracker crumbs and dried habaneros beautifully.
Buy a lab diamond. Buy a tungsten cube. Better than bitcoin- way more fun.
Of course, if I were going on the lam to another country with my loose lab diamonds in my pocket, I would transfer my funds with bitcoin.
If only I could figure out how. : )The True Meaning of the Law:
Trump is doing exactly what Joe Biden and Obama thought of the law.
Joe Biden and Obama didn’t think of the law, one bit!Congress taught Trump very well what the law meant, in his first term.
They then reinforced the meaning of the law via lawfare, when he was out of office!Now Trump isn’t telling Congress what he is going to do!
He just does it!
Then says what are you going to do about it!
He learn̈ed that is the true meaning of the law!Canada’s Health Care:
Interestingly Canada’s government run health care system was set up before inflation took off.
This has allowed governments to somewhat control the rate of health care wage inflation.
Thereis a hidden cost as Canada trains the doctors, nurses, medical technicians, of whom a certain percentage leave for the US every year.
