    The drums of War certainly are beating loudly across the entire UK mainstream press at the moment. Lots of reports and editorials being published, the tenor of which appears to be an attempt to shift the Overton window towards contemplation of an inevitable all-out war with Russia. Conscription, Army expansion, Navy expansion, US Nukes back in town – you name it it’s being trial ballooned right now.

    The obvious (to TAE regulars and other sentient beings at least) imminent collapse of ‘Project Ukraine’ and the more recent but equally obvious exposing of US/UK military capabilities in the middle east as a paper tiger will require some industrial strength misdirection when those truths finally hit home in suburban sitting rooms.

    Looks like what’s in motion here is a broad based psyop strategy to position RussiaRussiaRussia as the pan-spectrum bad guy upon whom can be hung not only the military failure of the west, but also the implosion of the financial system (Russia broke our banks), the ruinous increase in consumer prices (Russia stole our oil and gas) and for good measure either the election of The Donald or the justification for not having an election at all – can’t risk Russia ‘Hacking’ another election, you see.

    When the public are in a state of panic and, as is our wont as humans, looking for someone to blame – well, why not sign up to fight against the Russians who caused all of this in spite of the best efforts of our enlightened, benevolent (and entirely blameless btw) ruling class in the West?

    No actual war could realistically take place, of course. Even should NATO manage to provoke some sort of conflict, we’d be reduced to throwing stones at them within a week unless that elusive cache of weapons and ammo that is rumoured to lie at the end of the rainbow is finally located. No, once the public can be made to accept that Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia that’ll be enough to focus public anger outwards and prevent heads rolling in the west.

    Taking the country to war is said to be the last resort of a failed leadership whose crimes and failures are about to explode in their faces, potentially along with some molotov cocktails. The current all-out media push to position war not as something that our brave lads in camo deal with in countries far, far away but as something that concerns the average citizen who may be asked to make sacrifices up to and including being conscripted into the military is a rather ominous development when viewed in that light.

    Something very bad may be on the horizon.

    Apparently this is their wider reputation now?
    And the surveillance hats?

    “The United States Navy Essentially Lost A Battle At Sea This Week”
    “An AEGIS destroyer’s defensive umbrella should have turned this transit into a milk run – except it didn’t. CENTCOM admits that one of the Houthis’ tactical ballistic missiles – undemanding targets as far as such things go – got through the Gravely’s interceptors.
    What they neglected to mention was that it struck about a hundred meters from the Maersk Detroit, and that after the attack the convoy aborted the transit and retreated back into the Arabian Sea rather than press on into enemy fire.

    “Neocons Freak As Biden Reportedly Considers Syria, Iraq Withdrawal” — Ron Paul

    Again, with Biden insulting Virginia yesterday, losing in Ukraine, Red Sea, etc. And you think he’s NOT being run by someone? Not allowed to exist to it can collapse on him? What if Trump had tried to withdraw? (A: We already know: they refused direct orders. About everything. Just as they openly say they will if he is elected again. Not just new news, but expansive Taibbi TIP article yesterday.)

    Not only that, the Houthis and Iran aren’t even trying. Only three missiles? That’s a warning shot. Slow ballistics. And they do it AT the US Navy ship, not trying to dodge it at all, but poke it. And okay retreat without victory, but they’re making a point with the lowest possible escalation.

    And the Flag video, more theatre. See the bridge in about 20%? Where’s the railing? Has it be removed by AI or generated by it?

    “With the ethnic basis of America in decline,” –PCR

    You said in the sentence before they had no ethnic basis. You JUST SAID. You do know the way writing works, I read that sentence to get this sentence, right?

    They are attacking to topple the United States, or “Fundamentally Transform” us out of being a democracy based on rules and principles of the Enlightenment, as Barack promised he (they) woud. They are using all the methods they’ve discussed for decades, that “We have no culture”, we are a nation based on laws, such as the Constitution, and rules of laws, such as courts. Done. We buy the courts and your nation dissolves. How are you going to invade? We’re huge and protected by two oceans. You’d have to dock 1,000 landing ships per day to get enough invaders to make a dent. Done. And while that is happening, Congress and politicians wold have to stand by and watch, doing nothing for YEARS. Done. As Lincoln said, it would have to topple from within, and as Sinclair said, Fascism would come to America in the guise of helping and progress. Done. AND the American PEOPLE would have to not defend themselves, think the country isn’t worth defending or promoting the police and law in. Done. And MEDIA would have go along with all this, not just listlessly, but enthusiastically. Done. And, if anyone tried to stop this, they’d have to be arrested, as it would surely be a reaction and movement somewhere. Done. And the people who told you all this for 20-30 years would have to be sidelined as kooks after everything they say comes true year after year. Done. AND as that would go to the USSC, they to would have to be all blackmailed, extorted, and do what they’re told. About invasion and say, state-mandated mass murder. Done. AND they’d have to get all the guns.

    ….Ooops.

    Anyway, to me, I still see this as a puppet show. Again, for no reason at all – without evidence – I think this is all a PR made for TV put up job. The People have to see and know in their bones what these guys had planned, that it was all real, and then they have to be turned and mobilized to a different direction. That takes a cultural story, a “Narrative”. As the zany PR flag-waving there, America wants to be the underdog, race up to the cliff and magically diffuse the bomb in time. Done. Whatever you want, whatever you react to, whatever it takes, we’ll stage it.

    I think the Good guys have enough power, and the blackmail files on enough people like Fani, that they can stop this any time. They’re WANTING it to look like this not for them, but for YOU. …But personally, I’m bored and disgusted. It may be a theatre puppet show but I’m locked in here and I have to put up with it instead of, you know, having peace and lower taxes, a working economy and neighbors not yelling at each other. Why are you keeping that going when none of it is real? (Yes, because if they didn’t the parasites would immediately colonize again). My life is running out on this, you dopes. And kids are growing up in it.

    “Joe Biden has for weeks been asking Congress to approve a supplemental budget request which includes another $60 billion for Kiev. The Republicans have been blocking completely open to the package,” …But wanted to get SOMETHING in return, instead of “You’ll get NOTHING and LIKE IT.” How dare they play politics in …politics??? That would be “politics” or as they would say, “The Norms”. How dare they get something done which could be done in five minutes? I don’t just want an Oompa Loompa, I want ALL the Oompa Loompas! ALL OF THEM!!!! You’ll get NO Oompa Loompas and like it!!!

    I can only agree if it is ALWAYS ALL for me and NONE for you: all other ways are unacceptable, intolerable, murder, in fact. You’re killing me smalls: now you see the violence inherent in the system.

    Newsflash: In ten seconds you can have Powell print money for BOTH of your Oompa Loompas, get BOTH what you want. Then you can both double cross each other a minute later like usual. There is no conflict whatsoever except one you’re staging for the media. I can’t take it.

    “• Hunter and The Hunted (RT)

    “The Hunter becomes the Hunted” – Q Files, 6 years ago. This is the info they have, which has levered into blackmail and intel at the lower levels by tracing Soros BLM money and operatives and so on.

    “It is no secret that Germany has embarked on a path of decisive confrontation with Russia.”
    “Germany is developing a new comprehensive defense plan implying the “containment” of Russia.”

    Germany is building a new Berlin Wall, and they are putting themselves on the Soviet side of it, with great, grey poverty.

    ““We must overcome this polarization with dialogue,” she said,

    Translation: We’ll book a conference room and talk it to death. Taking no action. Because if they took any action – which is entirely in their power – they could have already done so, even BEFORE the tractors arrived. They didn’t, they won’t. They’re just f—ing with you. No respect and no fear. Zero intent. Make me. So looks like the farmers will make them. The government will topple, but these things take time we don’t have.

    Kind of a waste of time, but what? A: COLLATERAL. This is appearing all over, in this case in the banking system.

    I would bet Ukr takes out COLLATERAL for Europe. London Brexited — and allowed it, reluctantly — as a firewall as the last 1,000 years, to screw Europe. But they are not nearly far enough away from the crater. The U.S. now has balance sheet room to bail, as their banks are least-bad. Astonishing considering how bad they are. The Core Fails Last. If EU and UK go down, how much can we really stay intact?

    Again, this is why they — DAVOS — needs a War HERE, in the ‘States, to offset the war they just lost THERE, in Ukr. Yeah, great, but we in the ‘States also know what you’re doing and who’s doing it. That’s trying to kill our bond market and financial system as..

    …wait for it…

    We HAVE collateral. Lots of it. Europe and UK don’t. We are like the 3rd largest producer of oil and all our mines are shut. All 25 states have more grain production than Argentina and Brazil. Our manufacturing sucks, but we have it. UK is shutting down their last steel furnace and we haven’t. We don’t NEED to do this. We CAAAAAAAAN do fine without them, Europe, and the parasitic financial class. Our war is the same: against THEM, rentiers and the financial do-nothings who have only three colonies in the US: NYC, DC, and SF.

    Collateral. We are first to recover in a crash.

    “Germany is developing a new comprehensive defence plan implying the “containment” of Russia.”

    As noted by many here, do they even read what they write?
    Germany covers an area of approximately 137,847 square miles.
    Russia is the world’s largest country with a total area of 6,592,735 square miles.
    Containment, sure, go for it, I’ll wait. No industry, no fuel, the general population hates the government for the most part. Fuck wits.

    More like LONDON has volunteered Germany to be a breakwall to slow Russia, a sacrificial breakwall that is washed away as we saw in Ukraine.

    So when it’s LONDON’S “containment” that kills Germany to keep London financiers in the pink for just one year longer, makes perfect logic and perfect sense. Throw all the Germanys you want at it: I don’t live there. If I could find 5 more Ukraines I’d kill every human in them too.

    Germans may disagree however.

    My favorites moments “in the moment” are when personality-disordered narcissist or psychopath let’s down the mask.

    Today’s ‘mask let-downing’ belongs to SoS Tone Blinken. Where Blinken plays criminal thug not-so-covertly threatening violence on The Ukraine HoS (head of state) while the usual purveyor of violent threats and activities, CIAs Wm. Burns plays the not-so-closeted effeminate purveyor of U.S. diplomacy.

    Burns’s Mask of Sanity is playing at Secretary Of State on behalf of the United States as cover for ruthless, emotionless CIA spy chief.

    Tone Blinken’s Mask of Sanity doesn’t look so SANE as Wm. Burns’s superficial piety on closer inspection. Where as Bill’s cover is worn to blind or anesthetize the audience to his ice-cold vicious inner object state, Antony’s mask is just as disturbing as his equally vicious Crime Boss Act before The Ukraine HoS.
    Here it is:

      If you don’t resolve this issue with Derkach, then we will resolve the Derkach issue with our partners.’ 

    Notice The Antony’s Mask of Sanity, the effeminate, cigarette-smoking, liver-lipped-like-Obama, pretty-boy–hairdo, jazzy-assed-guitar-playing-boi public character IS cover for the cold blooded psychopath beneath the surface.

    What I want know is did The Ukrainians laugh out loud at Antony and his threat or is this story meant to convey a little gravitas for our Secretary of State?

    You judge:

       It is noteworthy that in 2021, the Ukrainian police discovered plans to assassinate Derkach and the head of the group of prosecutors in the Burisma energy company case, Konstantin Kulik, but did not initiate a criminal case

    The United States Navy Essentially Lost A Battle At Sea This Week

    “rather than press on into enemy fire.”

    Such inherent conflict in this reference.

    Are you recalling a Marine recruiting advertisement from TV?

    Are you aware the Navy is led by a female journalist CNO 4-star and SWO, surface warfare officer, Lisa Franchetti?

    Is ‘press on into enemy fire’ what the Marines, Department of Navy, did at Haditha back in the day?

    Duh’merican merchant crews don’t get ANY hazard pay for this defacto war zone.

    Interesting, I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me. Where are their Maritime Unions?

    Here’s a photo of a previous Houthi missile hitting an thankfully empty tanker

    .

    The warhead didn’t detonate thank god but entered the top left upper deck and exited the right lower hull.

    If this had been the fully loaded Naptha tanker and gone off it would have sunk the whole ship in a spectacular explosion.

    It’s only because the Houthis are using crappy hand-me-down missiles.

    Wait until they get their hands on the Good Stuff.

    And wait for the Good Stuff to finally connect on a warship.

    Regarding the ICJ posturing, er ah, I meant ruling.

    I was reminded of the following.
    I’m pretty sure it’s a thought from an essay in Harper’s by Stanley Fish. Fish wrote the essay in response to the response to 911.

    Paraphrased weakly

      What’s left are the surface pieties. Superficial niceties to which we all can assent because they are empty, insipid and safe.

    The ICJ ruling was actually a de facto ceasefire demand to Israel. They didn’t call it such but the only way Israel can comply is to effectively pull out of Gaza other than possibly some very focussed Spec-Ops type actions against Hamas.

    Now whether this will be enforced is another matter. The US could, veto any action when it gets to the security council stage, but Biden is under increasing pressure from the Democrat left and younger voters are largely pro-Palestine so it’s not necessarily a given.

    We are Agape

    Though I speak with the tongues of presidents and kings, and have not war, I am become as a sound bite, or as fake news.

    And though I have the gift of persuasion, and understand all marketing, and all propaganda; and though I have all influence, so that I have a billion subscribers, and have not war, I am nothing.

    And though I make billions off the poor, and though I then start my own international foundation, and have not war, It profiteth me nothing.

    War lasts long, and is pervasive; war grants supreme power; war overrides everything, always gets more funding,

    Need not behave itself legally, demandeth anything it wants, is easily marketed, is immensely lucrative;
    Rejoiceth not in humanity, but rejoiceth in profits;

    Corrupteth all things, destroyeth all things, monetizeth all things, justifieth all things.

    War profits never fail: but whether there be peace initiatives, they shall lack funding; whether there be agreements, they shall be ignored; whether there be accords, they shall be signed disingenuously.

    For we provoke in part, and we invade in part. But when total war is come then that which is in part shall be done away.

    When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a big man, I put away childish things.

    For now we battle through proxies, deceitfully; but then fist to fist: now we attack in part; but then shall we attack even as also we are attacked.

    And now there are immense profits in disease, famine and war, these three; but the greatest of these is war.

    Chris Hedges. Not a fan, still I read the article at top post, OK.

    What Isr. is guilty of as determined by Int’l bodies is sadly only marginally relevant, if at all.

    I wrote some time ago that Isr. will just ignore whatever judgments / condemnations / demands / strictures are made, by any Int’l organism.

    While Isr. has presented arguments in the prescribed setting, to appear to be participating., etc., to keep the locals on board (in the main Israeli Jews), signalling > We are defending our legitimate actions, we have valid arguments, we can stand up to Int’l BS, etc.

    …. As it has been doing for 70 years, nothing new.

    Netanyahu has said “Nothing will stop us” (14 jan, 2.25 min.)

    In that, he hits the nail on the head. Who, what country, what entity, force, coalition, will take DIRECT (such as military actions) measures to stop the Genocide in Gaza? None, as Isr. is defended by the USuk.

    Actually the ICJs decision makes the ICJ a defacto party to The Current Genocide when the Zionists subsequently kill Palestinians because the ICJ FAILED TO MAKE A DECLARATIVE CEASEFIRE DEMAND ON Israel when the moment required assertiveness rather than Fish’s superficial pieties.

    Go read the pass the ICJ gave Israel on Intent, as in the intent to commit genocide they found absent. At least they’re honest about not being mindset readers as opposed to most Jewish American judges’ and lawyers’ mesmerizing talent in that regard.

    You decide
    Fact or ficton.

    DNA technology now proving the current occupiers of the holy land are not bloodline descendants of the ancient israelites, coupled with Israeli Professor Shlomo Sand’ and israel sharhak books among others, it’s irrefutable.
    ———-
    DNA science proves that the “ ” in Israel and around the world are predominantly of Khazar stock. They are mainly a Turkish-Mongol blood mixture, says Dr. Schlomo Sand, a distinguished history professor from Tel Aviv University in Israel.

    Sand’s heavily documented book is turning the Jewish world upside down.
    One amazing fact is that the “Jews” who went to Israel from Europe in 1948 and set up the new nation have no history as a people of Israel. Instead, their ancestors were converts to Judaism. So those today who say they are “Jews” are not of Abraham. However, the Palestinians—mostly Moslem—are of Abraham!

    in 2001, Dr. Ariella Oppenheim, of Hebrew University, a biologist, published the first extensive study of DNA and the origin of the Jews. Her research found that virtually all the Jews came from Khazar blood. Not only that but Oppenheim discovered that the Palestinians—the very people whom the Jews had been persecuting and ejecting from Israel’s land since 1948—had more Israelite blood than did the Jews. In sum, the vast majority of the Jews were not Jews; some of the Palestinians were. Some of the Palestinians even had a DNA chromosome which established that they were “Cohens”—workers at the ancient Temple and synagogues of the Jews.

    The Definitive DNA Study

    Now comes the ultimate, definitive DNA study, by Dr. Eran Elhaik and associates at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Entitled, The Missing Link of Jewish European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses, and published by the Oxford Journal on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, the study confirms Oppenheim’s research and the many scholarly books.

    Dr. Elhaik and the prestigious Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine conclude in their report: “The Khazarian Hypothesis suggests that Eastern European Jews descended from the Khazars, an amalgam of Turkic clans that settled the Caucasus in the early centuries CE and Converted to Judaism in the eighth century…Following the collapse of their empire, the Judeo-Khazars fled to Eastern Europe. The rise of European Jewry is therefore explained by the contribution of the Judeo-Khazars.”

    There have been several (many) recent events of an almost unprecedented nature, that strongly suggest that the “War” has been won (by the good guys, thankfully, in this case, ) and that the main belligerents are now swiftly negotiating the terms of the Peace Treaty.

    Demonstrably the Federated states of Russia proved better at playing the “Uniting” game than the so-called “United” States of America. Like it or not that’s just the way it is.

    Using WW2 as a model, the Nazi’s are in full retreat across all fronts (some worse than others) and the military outcome of the of the conflict has been fully accepted as an inescapable factual reality by both sides. Nevertheless, the fighting continues (intensifies, actually) because both sides also know that the exact TERMS of the inevitable Treaty have not yet been fully hammered out and accepted by those concerned. And by the term “those concerned” I mean all parties touched by the war in any way. Obviously some parties have more at stake on the table, more dogs in the fight, and more capacity to resist than others do.

    Events have proceeded at a faster pace than I had earlier expected, so it caught me more than a little bit by surprise, but be that as it may, I now conclude that “back channel” negotiations (at the COMMAND level) have been taking place from somewhere around the middle of last December, just before Christmas, between the Anglo-Saxon “Western” Empire and the Russian Federation.

    The exact event that triggered the decision to act is as yet unknown, but I reckon it was of a primarily financial nature. Something broke, and that prompted them to act. Bracket the date Dec 30, 2023 by a week or so in either direction and see if you can spot what it was. Beats me.

    As it stands today, at this specific moment in history, there is no country, empire or combination of janky ad hoc alliances that could take on the Russia Federation and win. Not now and also not in the dependably foreseeable future. Russia is the current Big Dog, and THAT (as the old saying goes) is that.

    This is not to say or imply in any way that the fighting for position (or even a seat!) at the “Treaty Negotiations Table” is over. The dance ain’t over, far from it, but the TEMPO is going to increase.

    No, the fight and dance for a seat and position at the table of winners and losers can be expected to intensify at an ALARMING rate. Especially for those who are already “all in” or have nothing to lose by going all-in now.

    NOTE WELL: A private U.S. citizen was just allowed to accept an invitation from The US’s primary adversary in an actual blood and guts war, to spend three weeks in the Russian Federation looking at whatever he and his hosts chose to see and discus. Ritter is a highly trained, experienced and internationally respected weapons inspector. Both sides KNOW that, and both sides also know that is not too afraid to speaks truth to power (which he has done, and somehow survived, many times.) Those proven traits and real-world accomplishments are are precisely why Ritter was chosen.

    The trip took three weeks, during which reported his observations and conclusions on a near daily basis both during and after his tour. Man of these voluminous reports were in the form of completely unedited interview-style conversations with other broadly respected knowledgeable people.

    So what did Ritter have to say? Well, in a nutshell, he say’s that the United States CAN NOT prevail in a conflict with Russia. Not only CAN not, but SHOULD not, because the United States and its many proxies such as Ukraine and Israel, are increasingly morally bankrupt criminal enterprises in their current form, who must be curtailed for the security and welfare of mankind.

    What makes this extraordinary event even more notable is not merely its shocking nature, but more importantly the mere fact that it was allowed to occur in the first place. His going, reporting, and coming back home to America was neither impeded, criticized or punished by any of the powers that be on either side.

    To me that can ONLY mean that his not so little jaunt was explicitly desired and permitted by both sides because it continues to be disseminated world wide as a matter of complete and uncontested public record, available to everyone who cares to even glance in that direction.

    It was, in other words, compelling evidence in support of the fact claimed in the opening paragraph. Namely, that the “War” has been won (by the comparative “good guys”, thankfully, in this case, ) and that the main belligerents are now negotiating the terms of the Peace Treaty.

    I find the “Bad Russia, Bad Russia, Bad Russia” chant of admonition against the Ruskies in Western media to be downright hilarious.

    The complete waste of breath (which it is) could be compared to George Custer’s 7th Cavalry pony soldiers calling the Sioux filthy savages and throwing lace hankies at the redskins as the massacre ensued.

    I have an answer to
    • The Death of Nationality (Paul Craig Roberts)
    Vivek R. Is the embodiment of that answer. So is Tulsi G. Both are American through and through, saying things that resound with Americans because they are based upon the positive mythos of the US. And yet, neither derive fully from European stock. They have, in recent generations, progenitors from India. But…they talk like Americans, they grew up in the US, they embrace traditional American ideals. This country is accepting of non-white — even non-Christian — standard bearers, as long as they embody the American mythos. There are stories that can bind a nation together that can cross the ties of skin color or race or ethnicity or religion — but we do need a common language, to share these stories together.

    The greatest problem with the influx of immigrants over the past 3 years is primarily that it is so large that it breaches the capacity of the nation to integrate the newcomers. Language is a big part of that. (Let anyone speak as they will…but in order to integrate, newcomers need to learn — at least a little — the predominant language.). Then there is the possibility that a sizable portion of those who have entered may be coming deliberately as “sleeper cells.” As far as most of these immigrants being “young men of military age” — there is nothing new in that. Haven’t the bulk of all immigrants — and adventure seekers — in all human epochs been “young men of military age?”

    I suspect that the “sleeper cell” idea is being spread primarily as a fear to galvanize support from the population and as a constitutional pretext for states to act. I am not aware of any evidence, thus far, that supports the idea that this is a widespread problem. (Also, for that matter, any “sleeper cell” folks would be trying to get in no matter the current border policy. It’s the same idea that if you take guns from law-abiding citizens then only the criminals have guns. Although…if someone did have the intent of getting sleeper cells into the US to create future mischief, this Biden Admin policy of open borders would be an ideal time to get one’s men in place.)

    What ever are we going to do about Joe Biden? What even CAN we do?

    We could hang him, I suppose, but that would be doing him a favor. He deserves far harsher justice than that of a quick and easy exit stage left.

    Or, we would throw him into prison, but he wouldn’t even know that he was there.

    Going to the other extreme we could even reelect the criminally insane old fossil for a second term, but that would still leave us with the problem of what ever can we do about Joe Biden. Does anyone REALLY want to deal with wheeling around a half conscious living mummy on a hand-truck from one pointless ceremonial appearance to another? What would be the point of such a theatrical production, other than providing employment opportunity for soon-to-be-out-of-work stage hands?

    Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just let him wander around on his own, like a brainless wraith, pretending to be President, just like he’s doing now?

    Gee whiz…Trump claims that “the death penalty” for drug dealers will halt them from working. Well..he tends to talk in hyperbole and conflate things that ought not be conflated…he is, still, a much better president than Biden ever has been. And he is definitely more peaceful than Biden. I may vote for Trump in the fall…we shall see. But I suppose that I will always see it as a compromise out of necessity — the best option, given the circumstances. A palatable option, I agree with some of his policies. He doesn’t appear to be corrupt…I just tend to disagree with him on some major points and on many, many fine points.

    Thanks, TAE Summary! I always enjoy your posts.

    In other news, C.J. Hopkins has been acquitted by a Berlin court of posting “Nazi-promoting Tweets”.

    Mask-Wearing German Judge Acquits CJ Hopkins In ‘Nazi-Promoting Tweets’ Case

    Worth reading is CJ’s closing statement, which the judge dismissed as “ideological drivel”, yet it delivered an anti-fascist uppercut to the courtroom like Mike Tyson. With CJ’s final knockout blow the prosecution lay prostrate on the canvas, the referee counted to ten, and the gallery rose to its feet in applause.

    The Female judge in CJ’s case is typical of leftover crypto-nazi ‘elitist drivel’.

    German judges and the German court system was never ‘de-nazified’ after WWII.

    The Allies kept it almost entirely intact because the whole purpose of the entire WWII mission was to have Germany attack Russia to steal it’s 12 time zones of resources and divvy them up among the Euro-Tard countries.

    Germany got greedy and out of control and the German government had to be put down like a rabid dog but the Allies still wanted the Nazi court system to continue as a jack boot on the face of the German sheeple, to this day I might add.

    Had I been calling the shots in 1945 I would have executed all German judges and prosecutors PLUS their staffs for aiding, abetting and supervising crimes against humanity.

    Like the Romans executed thousands in the slave revolt of Spartacus fame, they nailed them to crosses along all the roads that lead into Rome and left them there for the carrion crows for a year, so too I would have made a spectacle like that of the German judiciary at the end of WWII. I believe the Romans executed about 7,000 this way in that spectacle.

    The Spartacus executions were so notable that they were still remembered almost 2000 years latter and made into a movie by Hollywood. That is some example for history remembered.

    The current German judiciary is a blazing example of arrogant Nazi continuity from 80 years ago.

    There was never another Spartacus like incidence in Roman history

    Like Never

    The Romans knew how to make a lasting point the first time out of the gate

    The German Wonder Weapon Pansy Leopard II tanks are all burning on the Russian steppes again 80 years later decorated with the Iron Crosses, Sieg Heil!

    The Allies didn’t even force the Germans to redesign another emblem for the German Army after WWII

    The Iron Cross symbol is a thinly veiled nod n’ wink substitution for the Nazi swastika.

    It keeps the flame alive

    Here is a current German helicopter

    The jewbankers want dead Whites. Just like the World Wars. Dead White Christians in particular. If that entails Russia turning Europe into 1 big Ukraine, they’ll do it. Sucking the US into war with Iran, hell yeah, they’ll do it. We got the money, honey…stole it all from you dumb cattle., now we’re gonna wipe you out and build back better up from the dust. This is what they are taught. This is what they believe. Tikum Olam, or some shit. Their messiah arriving after killing us and destroying everything. Dont take my word for it, read what they write. Every dog I ever owned hated fuckin jews, they knew, they sense that evil. People used to have that, now their mindfucked, indoctrinated, programmed to enter the meat grinder.

    The Germans are being de-industrialized with no hope of turning it around because they have no source of cheap energy, the Master Resource.

    No natural gas, no nuclear power, not enough firewood, and barely enough coal to heat their homes to 50 degrees F and cook cheap Wienerschnitzel, but the Green Nazis will crush that idea too.

    Their culture is doomed, their birth rate is half replacement, they will be gone from face of the Earth in less than 80 years. German women would have to start having 6 kids each now to hope to correct the trajectory. Not-gonna-happen.

    The Uniparty’s 2024 Texas Border Theatre Production:

    Please stop me if you have seen this theatre show before.

    Setting: It is an election year and the Uniparty’s RINOs need to show their voters that they support border security without reminding voters that they have always supported a fully open border.

    Scene 1: Uniparty “Texas Governor Abbott RINO WEF” we need you to convince Republican voters that we are strong on border security!”

    Scene 2: A small park on the Texas border. A small detachment of 50 Texas National Guards deploying their 20 coils of razor wire in the park while being filmed by the msm.

    Scene 3: US border agents busy removing razor wire to help illegals cross the border to get their free stuff.

    Scene 4: SCOTUS rules it is perfectly fine to remove all border barriers.

    Scene 5: Texas RINO Governor Abbott hiding in India says he won’t back down! Other RINO Governors pledge their support for open borders!

    Scene 6: Stupid American theatre patron “Oh, yeah, Republicans are tough on the border!

    Scene 7: 99.999999999999999% of border remains wide open. Only the little Texas park is closed.

    Scene 8: MSM showing only the little park, ignoring the rest of the open border.

    Scene 9: Americans “Oh, wow the entire Texas National Guard was deployed closing the entire border!”

    Scene 10: Re-elected RINO Uniparty sipping champagne “See it works everytime! Americans are so stupid!”

    Since WEF NAZI Justin Trudeau whole heartedly supports genocide, he is ignoring the international court.

    Palestinians should have all died yesterday to fulfill the WEF’s depolulation agenda. Now they need to suffer the consequences for not doing so, and to serve as an example, for not obeying the WEF’s dictac.

    So far the Houthis have only fired missiles without an explosive warhead.
    Those punky little homemade missiles that hit a ship, only went in one side and then out the other side.
    Are you “woke” yet?
