    looks “a whole lot less like any sort of democracy or a free and fair society and a whole lot more like an oligarchy that is ruled by violence and theft and extortion and threats.”

    Ah yes. Exactly this.

      “…army of cheerleaders.”

    What’s wrong with cheerleaders?
    Didn’t they, the cheerleaders, cheerlead (verb) the COVID debacle and cheer on likes of doctors Fauci, Redfield, Walensky spawned Zelensky and Gottlieb the Antichrist??
    Didn’t those cheerleaders (cheer) lead in 3 of the last 4 hospitals where I worked? Yes, indeed.

    What’s wrong with an army of them?
    Shouldn’t an army of cheerleaders be “leadershipped” by one of their own?

    In other news, Trump proves more than the monumental ass he is that he deserves tried along with Obama for the murder of 8yo Nawar al-Awlaki. Notice a Narcissist like Trump will invariably fry his wingmen and flying monkeys. No one is safe around those guys.

    Things are bleak in Europe these days. European leaders are caught in a “fight or flight” response, deciding whether they should run and hide or send troops into Ukraine to fight the Menace from the East. However, the existential terror of Emmanuel Macron and his toxic-narcissist accomplices in the EU will have to wait for a dedicated article because this one will focus on the European economy.

    It has puzzled many how the EU has been managing its economy since the beginning of the Ukraine war. There have been two distinct shocks inflicted upon the Eurozone economy since then. The third shock, which may be the worst, is on the way. All of them are direct results of European policies.

    WHY IS THE EUROPEAN UNION DESTROYING ITS OWN ECONOMY?

    Take ten things, give one back. #Winning!!!

    “Ukraine Paramilitary Groups Launch Another Cross-Border Raid Into Russia
    “Russian Oil Refinery Catches Fire Following Ukrainian Drone Attacks

    Still winning that PR battle. The more they do this, the more they have to cease to exist. The more Russia takes to pay for it.

    “Trump Vows To Free Jan. 6 ‘Hostages’ In First Act As President

    Trump promises to “Enforce the Law”. Radical. …Why? As these men were not charged, held in non-human rights conditions, possibly political, and lacked all “Speedy Trial” it is indeed American tradition and policy for a judge to throw it out. Same as rights violations like lacking a warrant. Now we haven’t done that as much lately, and perhaps a trial is preferable (how would any prospective charges not equal time served?) but the principle of it is the only way to punish Government by embarrassing the crooked Prosecutors and system. In fact, it’s the minimum, since the State’s agents should be charged and go to jail instead, but that’s very, very difficult. (Intent)

    Hur: So an off site locked filing cabinet is now considered appropriate for top secret materials? I’ve got a book-trade mailbox in front of my house, is that good?

    Anyway, will it ever matter? A: Has the sun burned out yet?

    ““more than enough evidence to impeach him and arrest him based on him bragging about stuff on camera.” “We really are being, allegedly, governed by complete and total demented gangsters,” he added later.”

    Yes. And you could probably get 100% of Americans to agree. However, those gangsters are in Congress, specifically the Senate, so he cannot be removed and arrested.

    “• Trump Tightens Control Over GOP – Politico (RT)

    It’s good to get rid of the GOP Democrats; that is to say, most of them. However, just handing it to Trump alone is a dangerous idea. This should be resisted, but I don’t know that it’s really happening (it was printed, so probably a lie) and I don’t know what else you can do in a hurry.

    “I also noted that I had never seen the Capitol so thinly protected in a major protest.”

    Seriously, you’re kidding, right? We WATCHED Ray Epps whisper to a policeman who wants to tongue-kiss him, then the barriers are removed. This happened in several places. The Columbus doors are 3,000 pounds of solid bronze. The police themselves released the locks from the control booth on the inside. Then police escorted the Shaman and his communist-tattoo friends up to the rotunta, giving selfies. “Thinly protected”? If only. This isn’t even “Protected”, this is demonstrably helping.

    I guess this outlines that lies are dangerous. Someone is lying. The lie is having large effects. The liar is not identified, prosecuted, and removed. So nothing is fixed. Accomplishing that is the bare minimum.

    Now a number of people have been sharply identified, in evidence if not in court. But none removed. Again, not reaching the bare minimum for national and cultural survival.

    “The reports, which have somehow found their way into the weekly’s possession,”

    A reporter doing journalism? Arrest this man! Don’t you know “leaking documents” is “espionage” and a 400-year sentence? YOu can be extradited to any country in the world that isn’t yours: Britain, Algeria, for it. Yup!

    ““The West can provide 3D printers to manufacture drones or loitering munitions, but will never be able to print men,” the report said.”

    They could but they hate 1) All men 2) All FRENCH men, especially the “White” ones 3) All children, and 4) All mothers. Especially, specifically, and radically, with the heat of a thousand suns, all mothers must be stopped and destroyed. They are the 3-D printers of men, although they do work rather slowly.

    “It described how Russia created “hell” for the Ukrainian troops by using massive glide bombs to inflict more than 1,000 casualties per day.”

    About every sentence in this article is relevant, but we know most of it. 1,000 men a day. Battle was how long? Yeah, that’s 10,000 men right there. Ze says they’ve only lost 30,000 in two years.

    It’ll be a bell curve, but put 1k as the peak, for maybe 5 days, and taper in and out. 20,000? 30,000? Battle’s been on for many months. France was sending how many? Like a week’s worth? Be still my heart.

    “If all this is indeed true (and the facts seem to leave no room for doubt), then it was Zelensky who made the fatal decision to stop negotiations.”

    If you sign, I’ll put this bullet in your head. But Free Choice! Amirite? You’re a free and independent person. Don’t let me and this 9mm hollowpoint sway you.” Uh-huh. Contracts cannot be signed under duress. It’s extortion and fraud. But because we’ve gotten in the habit of doing it every day, we forget.

    By the way that’s Capitalism. The VOLUNTARY exchange of goods. The UNCOERCED exchange of goods. The joint contracts, FREELY entered into. We haven’t seen it in so long people no longer think it’s normal or possible. That’s what happens if you don’t arrest liars, frauds, and violence: quickly they run the place. And I guess they should, since you just abdicated and refused to do “the minimum” for your job.

    “• Russia’s Response To Asset Seizure Could Trigger Global Financial Collapse (RT)

    Yes but it’s sure taking long enough. Europe is amazing to forestall it this long. Sort of like Props to Ukrainian troops. They’re amazing, the fight is stellar. On the other hand, why bother? You’re a bunch of dummkopfs. Sun Tzu would tell you, don’t get into battles you haven’t already won and CERTAINLY not battles you’re certain to lose.

    Go ahead, drag it out, I guess.

    Anyway, they will “Sieze each other’s assets”, AND…? And then type some accounting entries? SO???? You seem to miss that changing the map doesn’t move the mountains. THEY’LL JUST LIE. Like always. “Greece is not in default” when they can’t pay their bonds and never will, CALVINBALL RULZ!!!

    Then, a minute later, when they’ve dumped it on the rubes, they can. See “The Big Short”.

    BTW, if everyone forgot SACHS can and has invested in Russia. MORGAN can and has invested in Russia. YOU CAN’T. You’re locked out. So they BOUGHT in a frozen market because they are Very Special People™ not subject to sanctions, or heck – any laws at all! Now that they bought these at 80% discount, driven down my Congress at their behest, when it flips and Russia reopens because WE LOST, Morgan will sell those to the newly UN-Sanctioned Russia as “there’s a boom.”

    Thanks for caring so, so much about my safety that you stole 80% of my money, boys. That’s why we vote and what we pay you for.

    “• US Builds Gaza Port To Facilitate Mass ‘Voluntary’ Migration: Anadolu (Cradle)

    You cannot sign contracts under duress. That is a crime. 2) There is not a single moment we are not committing crimes.

    “Curiously, it is progressive and woke students at progressive institutions, not conservatives, who are defending both their First Amendment right and expression of moral conscience.”

    Yes this flip-flop on all sides is amazing. Maybe somebody will wake up because of how bananas that is. But not so far.

    “What is really needed is an alliance against those who are destroying the foundations of truth, freedom, and accountable government.”

    We can’t do that! That wouldn’t be in the Left-Right paradigm. That would be a third party that believes in the innate Rights of Man as given by their “Creator”. By the way, the American “Right” is this, because the “Right” should be Statist, but the American right is anti-Statist. So we have two lefts don’t make a right or however you want to put it.

    “• Boeing Failed 37% of Audits by US Regulators (Sp.)

    And nothing happened. We always make the penalty 10% of the crime. That’s tradition! The banks steal $1T in LIBOR rigging, etc and we charge them $1B and no jail time. Then we take the fine and give it to ourselves! Hahaha! I can do this all day!

    “The Boeing 737 holds the title of being the most mass-produced passenger aircraft in the history”

    And used to have no trouble making them in America, with American workers, to all the standards. Decades. But I thought that Americans don’t want these jobs, can’t do them in Detroit! …While Honda doesn’t have any problems with the exact same workforce.

    See what happens when you have a system without bankruptcy, where we bailout people who are incompetent, crooked self-serving morons instead of selling off their assets as total failures to people who can use them? Thanks Daddy government, now we’ll never have a GM who can make a car. Ever. And thus they are likewise protecting Boeing, AND where are all the Martin Mariettas, the Bombardiers, Hughes Aircraft, etc to compete? Oh, we FORGOT that monopolies are illegal. So government approved them all! And now OUTLAW all competition. Like the Tucker, but for example there are scores of companies like Tata, MD Juan and others who are locked out of America for hundreds of arcane reasons all pointing back to lobbyists. New car for $10,000? Definitely. But that’s not allowed.

    Competition. It’s what we outlaw! That’s Capitalism.

    “is the speech that King gave when he publicly condemned the Vietnam War—and was immediately cancelled”

    Yes, it’s been very useful to propose King was killed for Black Civil Rights, even those who put it on an FBI conspiracy. But he wasn’t. They were using him FOR that. What they were AGAINST was unifying race relations and going after WAR. The Death Cult. As today, you can see it in all battles. Where are the lines? Right there. Left-Right unified on killing everyone, particularly Slavs, but mostly anyone will do. Division is created to defend this killing. Budgets are universally approved fro this killing. We have 10 million homeless to pay for this killing. We have 50,000 drug deaths to pay for this killing. We have world-wide censorship to hide this killing. We jail and execute reporters to enforce this killing.

    “I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill. Kill. KILL! KILL!”

    Yup. And so Nixon said he spread drugs nationwide with the hippies to defend the Kill.

    “you could kiss your Bitcoin goodbye, perhaps forever, because by the time the juice comes back on (if it even does), nobody will ever again want to invest their wealth in digital “money” they can’t access,”

    He nails this people usually miss: the BITCOIN remains. When the power comes back on, it persists, right where it was when it went off. However as he said, people may think it’s a lot less stable in a crisis = lower value. Then misses the full implication of his next sentence: EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME AS BITCOIN. If Bitcoin is down (power + the internet), gasoline is down. Trucking is down. Cabbage is down. Eggs are down. Water is down. Your going to work is down. Heck, in 5 days, FARMING is down. No Diesel + no tractor parts?

    So point well taken, and I’d tell you 10,000 times not to do this, but they did, so does it matter? At this point if Bitcoin isn’t working, your sink, toilet, and putting food in your mouth isn’t working. What’s the difference? Translation: They are a-gonna GET that Internet back up and working. It would take as many years as built it to un-build it and seriously re-create clipboards and shoeboxes of paper cash in every store. That’s ain’t happening. It SHOULD, but we don’t have a solitary person who’s working on it. In fact, as above, it’s ILLEGAL. Explain to the Auditors, Anderson, how this one ledger is all on hand-written paper two days in coast of Mississippi. Yup, they’ll flag it and the IRS will fine. It’s de facto ILLEGAL not to be on the internet, reporting every dollar in real time. When the same Congress talks about EMPs.

    Italian:

    He’s talking about “Being Human”. Worldwide, everywhere. Yeah, It was systemically identified, tracked down, and killed. In 1950, when they wanted the system to support a healthy, strong society, so they could have a unified military marching worldwide, they paid for non-stop marketing support with “Drink Milk” “Leave it to Beaver” goodness and family. Then when were are slated to be liquidated and destroyed, they spent a Trillion dollars since 1970 to do the #Opposite, to kill every family, health, goodness.

    Just because we’re at the front edge of the annihilation and genocide campaign doesn’t make it “Natural”, or even “American.” Actually there’s nothing LESS American than this. What was the “Rugged individualism” as I dunno laid out by our most recent icons, like Norman Rockwell, Robert Frost, Western Cowboys like Gene Autry? Well? Look.

    Do they LOOK individual?

    What are the Western Ranches? Yes we see the kingpin of the main family, but what is “A ranch”? There are dozen, scores of people, cowboys, cooks, fieldhands, accountants, others, in every film. Wildly “Individual” like “Yellowstone” to all be related, live in the same house, support each other all day.

    And the Log Cabin frontier. They didn’t walk out one man, one ax. The ENTIRE TOWN moved from Connecticut, the whole extended family, 5 households and 20 people. The Wagon Trains? Why’d they call them “Trains”? Same thing: Hundreds of people you know and were related to, all banded together for your “Individualism”. That is to say:

    IT NEVER HAPPENED. IT IS A LIE.

    Why is THIS lie promoted at THIS time? Exactly to CAUSE the effects be speaks of above. That it to say, it’s not natural any more than the conditions of the Americans on the Reservation are “Natural”. It’s SPECIFICALLY engineered to destroy every man, every culture, every prosperity, health and all life itself, and to do so ILLEGALLY, violently, permanently.

    So it’s not “Americans” doing this, believing this. When Papa Bush drops a million tons of crack on 10 zip codes in L.A. the people “Chose” to take it, right? Like when Zelensky has a gun to his head: prosecute the war or your immediate assassination, it’s free choice, he “Chose” it, right? When the FBI refuses to prosecute any crime on the Rez, backs corrupt government, kills anyone in their way in a disappearance and death rate higher than Pinochet, it’s the Lakota’s fault, right? They voted in that government just like Canada did, because every other candidate is dead in the desert and can’t run.

    No, America for 300 years was the #Opposite of this, for every minute, until “Lo! Then a Miracle Happened” and it all reversed one day in 1971. Every book, movie, TV, magazine, school suddenly went from “Father Knows Best” to Total Feminism, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Archie Bunker, don’t need me no family, don’t need me no man, overnight. But it was all natural, although everyone got up one day and reversed everything they ever said, thought, or did for 300 years, there was no one behind it!

    Because I am a coincidence theorist, and that is not unusual at all. Happens all the time, now, right?

    This post over at Moon Of Alabama is instructive

    So why were western media, and politicians like Macron, late in recognizing the real situation?

    They don’t understand modern money and actually believed the sanctions would work. I was talking to an ex US state department employer who helped with putting the sanction package together. I explained to him why they didn’t work. It took me 15 mins on Twitter and showed him the balance sheets and government accounts.

    He was so embarrassed he ran off. The guy who posted the sanctions package his buddy a chief economist from the European commission removed the package from Twitter that only an hour before he had posted it with such a fanfare.

    I got banned soon after that.

    A month later the ex US state department guy who I had shown why the sanctions wouldn’t work, actually claimed he worked out himself why the sanctions hadn’t worked as if he knew why the didn’t work all along. When the truth was he didn’t have a clue and thought the package posted by his buddy in the European commission with such a fanfare would work.

    I’ll try and find it and give you the names of the people I am on about. They’ll still be on Twitter one was a European chief economist who worked for the European comission.

    They knew fine well militarily they would never win. They really did believe the sanctions would work.

    This is what I showed him

    https://new-wayland.com/blog/how-russian-gas-is-paid-for/

    It was really simple, the reason they wouldn’t work was friendly countries to Russia, their banks in friendly countries would off set the risk and make an absolute fortune doing so. Free from the sanctions.

    He recognised their mistake within 15 mins and was absolutely mortified the best so called economists in Europe and the US state department has missed it. He had missed it and helped with the package.

    Also acted as if Russia used the Euro and that Russian exports would fund the Russian treasury. Absolute bonkers.

    They are not as clever as they think they are and they get paid a fortune for not only being wrong but for being infected by GROUPTHINK.

    So if someone gives you priceless FREE counsel, delete the thing they helped you with. Do not pay them or hire them or even thank them.

    No, ban them, silence them, delete them to the extent you can this particular minute.

    If we could, we’d disappear them or line them up against a wall in front of a firing squad, and it IS sad we can’t, but to the extent we CAN erase them for helping us, definitely that.

    Or was the whole point that the West do something ineffectual and self-defeating?

    Dr D from yesterday

    #Integrity. That is, to be “Integrated”. If you are Integrated, then one part doesn’t constantly conflict and disagree with the others.

    The train tunnel in Atlas Shrugged – the railroad worker had never before been placed in a situation in which his customers, he, his boss, and his company’s interests had not aligned.

    I know I’ve recommended it before, but here it is again – A Deepness In The Sky by Vernor Vinge has multiple scenarios of no-integrity people locked in the control room. Reads like a quick 300 page space opera despite its 900+ pages, but on re-read, is packed with concepts. Prophetic absolute top tier scifi book. I know of no other quite as relevant to the past few decades.

    complicity

    What happened/history/past depends on the perceived, accepted, definition by recognized experts.

    Definition experts are lawyers/politicians/liars.

    out of touch with the reality
    ————–
    any protected ethnicity can define hate speech as any words they claim to experience as “painful.”
    Ultimately, this will mean that they, as individuals, cannot be charged with a crime.
    South Africa’s experience with the International Court of Justice shows how difficult it is to charge the Israeli government with a crime even when Israel is committing genocide.

    The Israel Lobby long ago defined anti-semitism.
    It is any criticism, true or false, of a Jew or of Israel.
    For example, to protest Israel’s slaughter or genocide of Palestinians is anti-semitic.
    To even report, quoting their own words, Israeli government officials and rabbis calling for the murder of Palestinian women and children and for the extinction of Palestinians is anti-semitism.
    If you can’t complain about mass murder, or even report the words of those calling for it, what can you complain about?
    Recently three presidents of Ivy League universities, all female and one black, were called before the US Congress and scolded for allowing their students to protest Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians.
    The three women were guilty of permitting students to have First Amendment rights and were treated as if they had organized the protests themselves.
    The black female president of Harvard had to resign.
    In the UK, University of London students were suspended for their pro-Palestine protests.
    I find it extraordinary that Jews alone among all ethnicities can control what can be said about them.

    “truth” consists of controlled narratives that serve the interests of the ruling elites?

    The Countries Shutting Down The Internet The Most

    In many countries, the drastic step of shutting down the internet is employed in response to actual or potential unrest. Shutdowns generally occur when someone (usually a government) intentionally disrupts the internet or social media networks. The measure has been widely criticized as too drastic a curbing of freedom of expression and an encroachment of peoples’ everyday lives especially if it is done to shut down dissent.

    As Statista’s Katharinia Buchholz reports, Egypt’s 2011 revolution and the failed Turkish military coup of 2016 are prime examples of internet shutdowns employed in this way.

    A Deepness In The Sky, in addition to many other prophetic things, addressed how the internet would be handled when an op or coup was being run. Incidentally, Timothy Gawne in NEOLIBERAL ECONOMISTS MUST DIE (his caps) came to the same conclusions.

    Keep the internet on, but flood it with propaganda and astroturf WHILE making any opposition out to be crazy weirdos while flooding the internet with fake people “on the side of” the opposition, but posting extremist or crazy things. While things keep getting upvoted, boosted by an algo, deleted or shadowbanned in weird ways.

    Examples – an engineer wants to know why there was so much sulphur in the WTC steel – suddenly swarms of “people” with theories about mini nukes, gravity lasers (grazers?) and UFOs swamp relevant sections of the internet while espousing homophobic misogynist racist fascist sentiments.

    U.S. House passes bill that could ban TikTok

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/u-s-house-passes-bill-that-could-ban-tiktok-1.6805735
    The House on Wednesday passed a bill that would lead to a nationwide ban of the popular video app TikTok if its China-based owner doesn’t sell, as lawmakers acted on concerns that the company’s current ownership structure is a national security threat.
    The bill, passed by a vote of 352-65, now goes to the Senate, where its prospects are unclear.

    Here is Sean Foo’s take, looks worse than it is. It is all for UKR PR and maintaining western support, it won’t put a dent in RAF’s fuel capacities, what it does is prevent RF from exporting finished oil products, and the RF has already put a six month moratorium on exports, but it’s a tiny part of Russia’s export revenue. However what it does is increase global demand for Russian crude so that the RoW can increase their refining capacities for themselves and for profit from export, and, crude is a very big part of Russias export revenue. If Foo has it right, it’s just more ill conceived sanctions blowback on the part of the west.

    A major Russian oil refinery just got hit marking a new dangerous point in this economic war. Vital infrastructure is now being targeted risking supply and demand shocks to the world. Meanwhile, in response to US sanctions, China is moving their supply chains elsewhere starting with their wheat supply.
    US inflation just surged higher, this will just complicate the rate cuts, pushing the world to the brink.

    Free Speech is DEAD in Limey Land.

    Shakespeare would have gotten life in jail in modern Albion

    He command of the language was unparalleled but he was not a Woketard

    Limey Land is a shell of it’s former self.

    A husk, a straw man withering in the cold desolate winds of the North Atlantic.

    A has-been former country

    A decaying relic

    Meanwhile back in Duh’merica, also a shell and relic we have this…Ta-Da!

    In Normandy and other coastal areas, the Germans erected telephone poles and strung barbed wire between the tops, to interdict or kill paratroopers – referred to by the paratroopers as “Rommel’s Broccoli”

    We put up 4 storey-tall nets for golf facilities. You’d think netting like that would be up all over the place in strategically important locations

    Bidenomics has lead to a concealed Depression.

    You don’t see soup lines like the 1930’s because of “food stamps’ credit cards.

    The unemployment numbers are concealed and cooked, same with GNP, same with ALL government stats.

    Depression, not a ‘deep recession’.

    Hardship withdrawals from 401k retirement accounts hit a fresh record. Up 30% on the year and tripling the pre-pandemic rate.

    1 in 7 Americans now has a loan against their 401k. Nearly half borrowed to avoid foreclosure. With medical bills coming in #2.

    With household debt also hitting a fresh record of nearly $150,000 while credit cards charge 24%, people are turning to the last pot of money they have left: Their retirement savings.

    Hezbollah Pounds Israeli Barracks with More than 100 Rockets
    1 day ago March 13, 2024
    Hezbollah on Tuesday pounded Israeli sites with more than hundred rockets in response to the Zionist aggression on Bekaa a day earlier.

    In a statement, Hezbollah Military Media declared that the Islamic Resistance fighters fired, at 07:00 am on Tuesday, the command headquarters of the air and missile defense in Kela Barracks and the missile and artillery base in Yoav, as well as the surrounding emplacements in the area with over a hundred Katyusha rockets.

    The statement stressed that the strike was “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and the brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the Israeli assaults against our people, villages, and cities, most recently in the vicinity of Baalbek city which resulted in the martyrdom of a citizen.”

    Al-Manar correspondent reported that several barrages of rockets were fired from Lebanon at Golan Heights and Galilee Panhandle.

    The rocket barrages were also reported by activists on social media, with photos and videos being posted.

    For its part, Israeli media reported that some 100 rockets were fired from Lebanon.

    Hezbollah fired a barrage of some 70 rockets from Lebanon at the Golan Heights this morning, The Times of Israel reported, citing Israeli occupation army.

    “A second barrage of around 30 rockets is fired from Lebanon, taking the total projectiles launched this morning toward Israel to some 100. Sirens did not sound for the second barrage,” the Israeli media outlet added.

    At least one Lebanese civilian was martyred and several others were injured after the Israeli enemy launched four strikes on the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek.

    One of the strikes hit the southern entrance of Baalbek while the three other strikes hit near the city of Taraya, 20 km west of Baalbek.

    Later at 10:15, the Islamic Resistance fighters fired a Burkan missile towards Al-Raheb site, resulting in a direct hit, Hezbollah’s Military Media announced in the second statement for Tuesday.

    The Military Media also published a map that shows the strike on Al-Raheb site.

    If you watch some of the more recent telegram videos, you can see the russians have put canopies over their vehicles. Seems obvious. The lack of supports the prognosis that some people in a position of influence are really just stupid.

    poppie – interesting – I’ve seen footage of Ukranian drones flying down open vehicle hatches. Yeah, a vehicle canopy makes a LOT of sense. Seems like even mosquito netting or soccer netting, draped from something added, could do the trick. Doesn’t seem it would be all that difficult to do
