    Good morning :-))

    From the horse’s mouth ….
    Long Covid is actually Vaxx Injury.

    Explains this:

    “Last year, the government spent £65bn on sickness benefits, external – a 25% increase from the year before the Covid pandemic. That figure is forecast to increase to around £100bn before the next general election.”

    @MPSK: Here is what the morning feed shows about “somebody” declaring war on Russia and Russia persists, even if the world ends early (Hal Turner’s story about Putin’s presser 3/4/25).
    It’s just Macron, the Rothschild Paris banker, speaking ahead of the “European summit” this morning (but how could Putin know 2 days ago?).

    Yes, you heard it from me here.
    Long COVID is the only billing code that pays for “long vaxx syndrome”.
    I hope you are having good weather and planting veggies, Germ.

    Citizenx – here in Australia we have waaay better manners and respect for civil discourse than you possess. You are what we would refer to as a ‘rude prick’.
    But you know what buddy. You do you. In the universe of infinite possibilities it does warm my heart and open my mind to think god even allows for creatures who love nothing more than breathing in the warm cheese of their own anal cavity – being the rare air they breathe as their heads remain encased by their own arse.

    “Zero-Based Budgeting” rejects using last year’s budget as a baseline.
    The status quo defines the baseline.
    Musk’s message went wisely in the opposite direction.
    It reset the federal workforce to zero and shifted the burden of proving value.

    Bonus: “Democrats File Articles Of Impeachment Against Little Black Boy With Cancer “ –BBee

    Ah, there WAS one thing they DID stand and applaud for: 1.1M Dead people in Ukraine. Good show!

    Okay, WHAT is all that? Now I’m going to forget who, and I’m betting not Luongo or Krainer so that leaves it open, (WhatIfAltHist?) BUT, how is the American government built after 80 years of our (latest) Empire? Throughout there are sort of silos, clans, where the Army – who gets shot – is NOT that into Empire, whereas say, State Dept, not only is INTO Empire, but they are all PAID by EXTRACTING Empire. …Now we can see this, openly. WHERE were they all paid? USAID. But why was that in USAID? Because there’s a clan where IF we cause a war in Congo, that clan steals a chromium mine. IF we cause a war in Sudan, Stark Industries can sell that new weapon.

    So we have a crew where mostly getting money from Overseas, Empire. They are aligned with Atlanticists, Globalists in view. They will continue “what works” and take over the world, needing that last resource base in Russia. Then we have the AMERICA crew, who feel America is sufficient and a land unto ourselves, and if we need copper, oil, or rare earths, we’ll just mine them here and pay ourselves. America First, versus, Globalists.

    We know that, but need to re-set, look at it again. So WHO is USAID? Empire. WHO is CIA? Empire. WHO are a lot of the moles, FBI, etc? That includes the IRS enforcing enemies (like every Catholic) but not friends running billions (like Hunter)? They may not have to be Empire, but clearly are in service of protecting Epstein in service of Steele, Starmer, Johnson, King Charles, and Empire. What is Trump et co eradicating? Empire.

    So who is CONGRESS? Trump says America is getting stronger, we got all this done. 47 items on the list yesterday they refused to applaud. Crickets. We hate little black boys so, SO MUCH!!! We hates them for evah! And what DO they stand and applaud for? Bankrupting and crushing, grinding the United States Citizens in service of King Charles and EMPIRE. So however this happened, and in some ways inexplicable, the Democrats are the party of Anti-America, the Party of slavery and of EMPIRE.

    This is SO internalized and necessary for them, not only do they DO this, not only admit it on national TV, but they no longer even REALIZE how it looks to everyone. But please: don’t let me stop you. Keep going. Go ahead and boo and impeach black children on National TV. Literally after this, the post-review, Democrats stood up and proudly said, “Sure hope he doesn’t die!” “Don’t you know Trump is trying to murder him?” What the — ??? By giving him awards? Now you’re attacking children daily? WTF is wrong with you people? Could you not shut your mouth and not attack women and children for just ONE DAY?

    But thankfully, this lightened the mood.

    But Empire isn’t a failure everywhere. Meanwhile, in Britain: “U.K. Imam Opens Service With Land Acknowledgment Of Indigenous Britons That Once Inhabited London “ –Bbee

    Putin speech yesterday: From Sargon, number of times England has invaded Russia? Like +12?? Number of times Russia has attacked England? ZERO.

    Yes, the gold is all flooding back to the U.S. Armstrong model is built on capital flows, and Capital is now flowing to the U.S. They wouldn’t take the cost, etc for that unless it was on and they knew it. What is Trump’s million dollar visa? If you want to get out of Europe or wherever NOW, we can do it FAST.

    And on that: I’m sure no one knows nothin’ about our system, but like most countries have a way in which – If you import Capital, a business, and create JOBS, you get a special visa. That’s all this is. This just highlights a snappy name, and fast-tracks it, but it’s the exact same-old visa as before. They say “It’s a million dollars” like you feed it into the WalMart self check out, but it isn’t. Nothing is, at that level. You don’t hand the U.S. a million $1 bills and this happens.

    Arguments: “America is BROKE, where are they going to get Investment Capital after all these years? The only thing to do is despair, give up, go bankrupt, and collapse.” Uh, no actually. There’s not the slightest reason to do that. FIRST, we could take the “American Plan” and hire our OWN people to work our OWN mines, and just poof, invest a self-liquidating currency like the Greenback or like Hamilton’s Dollar was in 1798. BUT: we don’t have to if Japan – just as a random example – invests in US Steel a few billion, and one thousand people invest $1M to get the h—l out of Europe while it’s nuked. And all those car parts plants return to Ohio because Canada wanted to FAFO. And we ring-fence our economy to be OURS and not globalize. They say “But muh that reduces trade!” Uhhh, maybe? BUT WE HAVE NO TRADE NOW. Every action is UP from here. Beautiful theory bro, get me a sammich. IF your theory worked – ONCE, in 40 years – then since 1994 and that Sucking Sound, we’d have jobs INCREASING, not decreasing. We’d have a LOWER trade deficit, not higher. …Exactly as all of us Conservatives said then, and the Unions too: Don’t do this you traitorous sellouts.

    What good to have more trade *In theory if you have no jobs, no factories, no skills, no mines, no screws, no chemicals, no precursors, *In Fact? Ask Krugman.

    Yeah, TRADE may not go up, but so long as economic activity inside our borders doubles, IDGAF.

    “Maryland Dems Lose All Sense of Reality: Focus on Condoms For Kids, Reparations as Crises Pile Up

    Like yesterday, focus on the EMOTIONAL tasks, not the logical ones. We take this for granted until it’s done the other way ‘round. How can I say this? Well if you do it in this order, you lose both. Nor is that like a super-secret. But they do it anyway, for why, knowing it will and must fail. Because their driver is emotion, not reason. Or not first.

    “Trump Warns He’ll Block Funding To Any Colleges That Have ‘Illegal Protests’

    Dore and Taibbi covered this last night, so watch it. What is this for? Israel. Or even “The Jooos”. And what are its signature? He’s going to summarily arrest everyone. Okay. Got it.

    Meanwhile, back in the real world, what is this? 1) Trump has no jurisdiction to do this. (arresting part, but possibly also the defunding part) 2) There is no law to do this, he will immediately lose in all courts. E.g. WTF is an “Illegal” protest? All protests are legal, and all crimes (assault, obstruction) are already illegal. 3) He’s talking about “deporting” people. So the protestors aren’t American to begin with??? What does THAT say? He’s talking about paid agitators? Huh? 4) OBVIOUSLY pandering to a tiny minority group, one he’s taken money from. 5) Taking the hardest possible line, while in effect both SAYING nothing, and also DOING nothing. 6) The media, being made of pure drooling retards, doesn’t notice.

    Now let’s move to Gaza. See a similarity? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. All match up. Trump is going to “unleash hell” on them? Bwahahahhaha! Compared to what? Wot a Maroooon! He’s going to “Run Hamas out?” Hahahahaaha! The Israeli army couldn’t do that WHILE genociding them daily with 2,000 pound bombs. Newsflash: you ain’t gonna do s—t. So he might as well not have spoken, nothing’s going to happen, it’s pure empty signaling.

    Okay, bro’s, you “In Adelson’s Pocket” people: “he might as well not have spoken, nothing’s going to happen, it’s pure empty signaling.” Get it? That’s WHYYYYYYY he says stuff that can’t be done and isn’t legal. Because he neither has to, nor CAN take action on it, while getting these guys off his back and re-setting the dialogue.

    …I can’t believe people can’t see this. Like Taibbi and Dore. Well you know he’s not an idiot by now, so tell me what is IS doing, since it’s not being a fool.

    Now Taibbi said something in that (long) interview. He said, “Looking at USAID, all these things we’ve found out, I’ve been re-thinking all my assumptions about what’s real.” No! What???? What is he REALLY saying here? …You can REALLY say it Matt! You can do it!

    What he’s saying is, HE’S CATCHING UP WITH ALL THE REST OF US, ALL US ‘CONSPIRACY THEORISTS’ who’ve been telling him that for YEARS. Years and years, right again, No WMD and Ties to Al-qeada, subprime was not contained, Trump WAS being wiretapped by the FBI, there WAS that Giant Sucking Sound, they DID want at-birth, post-birth abortions. The media WAS being run, 99%, by the CIA. All of it. 20, 30, 60 years, since Ike.

    WE WERE RIGHT.

    HE WAS WRONG.

    But here we are, 20 years later, and he’s only NOW catching up? To what was obvious to us normal people? I’m not a f—king genius you know. I just read s–t and don’t lie to myself. And he’s not going to apologize, we’re all going to STAY ‘unhinged, evidence-free conspiracy theorists’ WHILE being correct, WHILE he’s on national radio SAYING we were all right all along?

    …Okay, man, whatever. But saying it might help, in that very likely, almost certain case that a ton of other stuff we’re saying right now is correct too. …And might stop worldwide thermonuclear war n’ stuff. Nice to be right and on board now that it’s safe and popular. As Twain says.

Uh-huh. Worse, NOTHING works either: no drones, they run on that. No UK Stormshadows, they run on very precise, exact data, locked into the missiles only from the U.S. No attacks in the Black Sea. No Globalhawk drones to target troop changes with.

    Taibbi noted that the minute Ze left the White house, all Europe and Team Empire had their statements ready. Oh, I missed that. Soooo….Ze was coached and told to blow up this signing, by Charles and Stormer, Susan Rice. What else? IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. Ze’s really busy, cuz, like, his country is collapsing? But HE demanded to sign it in the White House. Um, okay then, I guess. Then it would all be done behind the scenes, just the usual signing 5 minutes at the end on camera. NOPE. Ze DEMANDED it all be on camera. Ummmm, okay, I guess.

    …And you think Cheeto n stuff had no idea what they were up to with this sudden change? If I can know that, if Krainer and Luongo can know that, that everything was already signed to England and they were double-crossing the U.S., you think Trump, with the whole CIA NSA at his disposal was totally surprised? Uh, no.

    Anyway, add that to 1) Everyone having a statement ready 2) Iternary to return to UK and meetings in Europe, etc. Somehow they all knew to do this when it was an ambush! A total surprise! Somehow he didn’t SIGN the deal that he couldn’t sign since he already knew he’d signed it already.

    Boy, you sure got Trump this time! You won totally since 1) The American people now hate Ze and Ukraine, so that flipped 2) Trump turned around all the planes and shut off the maps on the battlefield. 3) England promised Ze SIX whole Billion dollars. SIX! I say! Well, with cash like that flying around, our $500B you don’t need.

    So, they’re on Plan A of 1) Sanctions 2) War 3) Having the U.S. fight Russia on their behalf and bankrupting ourselves. Totally tricky! Nobody saw this coming.

    “Also, I wouldn’t rule out a “nuclear near miss” or a “limited nuclear engagement” to try and scare people into global cooperation or something. When the media gets this hysterical, everything is on the table.”

    And they’re all saying “Why hasn’t Trump done X already?” He’s BUSY. He’s BUSY stopping WWIII in TWO places, sirs. Shut up, be patient, and don’t distract him. It’s been like 8 weeks, Jesus.

    “• Something Is Smelling Really Bad Among The Peace Brokers Of Ukraine (Jay)
    You don’t have to be a genius to work out that if you exclude Russia and just look at the three groups who are vying for war, or whining for peace, that no one is being very honest about their intentions.

    Yeah, um, has anyone asked RUSSIA? Because they said they’ll veto it all and nuke your -ss. So all of your adorable little chatter at the kids table? So. Cute! I love how you just keep working out, among yourselves about armies and wars, year after year, for 25 years and NEVER DO NOTHIN’. England has 12 tanks. They’re still in committee meetings with DerLyin’, 5-star catering going in, wagu beef flown in from Japan on private jets, CO2 savings! In all those 25 years, you’ve talked to Russia how many times? Like four?

    BOHICA. Here it comes again… “Europe hereby doth declare, forsooth…” W. the actual F. are you talking about? Even if you HAD an army that wouldn’t matter right now with your “Peacekeeping” and you DON’T have an army. Or an Economy. Or a Nation. Because you imported migrants to undermine and dissolve all that.

    Here’s a sideline: LONDON is now a no-go zone. “There are so many migrants London hardly feels like Bangladesh anymore”. They’re talking Civil War in Britain seriously now. And of course that’s not crazy, that’s history and why Our Daily Stormer invented riots that didn’t happen to lock down all the (white) people and arrest more than Russia does in a decade, for crimes so small as praying silently IN YOUR HOUSE.

    (If you don’t get my reference, “The Daily Stormer” is the long-running American Neo-Nazi outlet – funded by the FBI and USAID I’m sure — that espouses Nazi ideology, violence, totalitarianism, and racism, just like Starmer does every day. My one regret in life is that I cannot be as offensive to people like Starmer as I wish to be. I simply lack the skill to rise that that level. Since Stormer is eclipsing Stalin for raw evil, he sets the bar higher than I or others can reach.)

    “Europe has official lost their mind” As elsewhere, suddenly, Lo! We have money! All kinds of money! Infinity money! All kinds of money, control, resources, oil, steel, everything! You know how we shut off all the heating aid and killed 5,000 grandmas in Blackpool this year? We have that oil! It’s magic. …But only if it kills ANOTHER 1.1Million people.

    “Only 0.028% – about 13,000 to 14,000 votes – more and the party would have passed the 5% barrier.”

    Wot a coincidence. That is not suspicious at all.

    Oh, but speaking of, re-listening to the All-star team Krainer, Luongo, Armstrong (as if I have time, don’t ask) I missed the important thing we all know: GERMANY isn’t in the EU. They never voted, there was no law, no referendum, how did they get in?

    I knew this was offensive, illegal, annoying, capricious, summary. I’ve said it many times. But ah, Herr Docktor, you fool, what does that MEAN? Think, you slow-moving idiot, get the molasses out. Germany is in the EU because of an “Executive Order”. That’s it. What? You can’t treaty your whole country away on an Executive order! That’s Offensive, Illegal….Shhhh. Shut your d—n mouth for a second and THINK.

    If AfD gets in – if ANYONE gets into Germany, EVER – they can UNDO the entire EU with an executive order.

    They just open their mouth and say, “Harken Ye: The EU is ended.” Bye. If there is no LAW, no referendum…then there is also there is no LAW, no referendum, there’s no Security to stay in. 5 minutes after AfD is inaugurated, the EU doesn’t exist. Or COULD not exist: imagine what concessions AfD could extract from the EU, EU countries, and EU planners over this. Stopping migration, refilling the budget, restoring Germany to pre-EU condition…then leaving anyway.

    Supreme Court: “Awww, ya gotta pay for cOmPleTeD wOrK, doncha?”

    We re-imagined “work”

    Like if USAID adds a $40,000 “project” to hire a guy to blow off one side of the Supreme Court building and each of the Justice’s super expensive cars…

    Like… Supreme Court is deliberating – judiciously as they will – when there is a thunderclap followed by a series of lesser explosions. They race out onto the sidewalk to see what happened.

    Immediately, an unelected bureaucrat and accompanying NGO representative pounce on them with a receipt.

    “We’re going to need your signature for completed work. It’s all right here on the invoice, just need you to sign at the bottom – I’ve labeled where with a postit sticky. Go on now”

    They see an invoice labeled:

    1. Blow off side of Supreme Court Building

    2. Blow up each Supreme Court Justice’s Personal Auto (12 Jaguars)

    $40,000.00

    see? The work was completed. You gotta sign, man.

    What if they RE-IMAGINED THE WORD WORK?????????????

    Can usaid just blow up your jaguar every day sir? every time you get a new one, they can blow it up, because it was on an invoice?

    Just so long as they leave YOUR gay british super expensive vehicle alone, presumably YOUR house YOUR neighborhood, your 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 figure friends, then sabotage anything! Other governments! Your own government! Peoples lives! Entire cultures! IT WAS ON THE INVOICE.

    Like, re-activate USAID, but have it fund wokeists following around the Supreme Court Justice’s lives – somehow, wherever they live, wherever they move to, there’s hordes of astroturf wokeist activists making sure there are hordes of homeless and illegal immigrants at everywhere they would want to go and wandering around outside their house. More activists getting the police defunded where they live.

    Their local school only puts on horribly-written and produced woke plays. All the teachers are continually trying to trans their kids and/or sleep with them. Their Jaguar is constantly in the shop because of all the potholes — the money was diverted to luxury hotels for Columbian gang members 100 yards away from their daughter’s school. All the bridges nearby have had bolts randomly removed from the supports to simulate everyone else’s experienced level of civilizational competency. Somehow, no matter what airline they choose, the pilots are always DEI hires.

    Just concentrate ALL the USAID funding on creating a USAID soup THEY live in. Keep sending them the invoices showing “paid” year after year. Hey man, it’s completed work. This is what you love most.

    They really could not see the flaw in their own “reasoning” without such help? Supposedly the finest minds in the country? Then let them be HELPED forevermore.

    Dr. D. yesterday – “OPEN THE DOOR. For today is a good day to die. Or at least as good as any other. Today could be, and is, the day you were waiting for.”

    (Background music) It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me…

    I think people often get stuck in the grieving process for their own mortality, and the elusive acceptance brings freedom – freedom to appreciate life and even feel good about it.

    I posted previous that Greenland is not part of the EU, just like Iceland, Norway, the UK, Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man. Ireland is the outlier because of its catastrophic relations with Britain, so is rigorously enthusiastically pro-EU (> they have cashed in on various ‘exemptions,’ ‘favors’, etc.) Greenland however is a full member of NATO.

    Trump is totally serious about this. It is about shipping lanes, links to the Artic, and more. His last statement to the Full House or whatever it is called is quite clear. Short clip:

    He, his team, know Greenland has been making moves towards full independence (from Denmark) -> that it can’t survive independently, -> the US can become the ‘new patron,’ replacing Denmark.

    Tourists rob you of your home
    In sunken boats
    And you can hide quiet as a mouse
    But they’ll find you out

    When she asked me
    “Why have you felt so down and out?”
    You can stay with me at my house.”

    When I woke my back was broke from lying on the floor
    Sunlight poured through all the cracks in my front door
    Wake up, you’ve got a lot of things to do
    Wake up, the sun is rising without you

    Tourists robbed me of my child
    They smoked him out
    He was draft-dodging some war
    ‘Til they found him out

    And he came home late in the night
    To his mom and me
    And he said, “Times they gotta change
    But so do we.”

    When I woke I was alive in somebody’s room
    I felt life and love and hope infesting my bones
    Wake up, you’ve got a lot of things to do
    Wake up, the sun is rising without you

    When I woke my body was dying all over the floor
    I felt apathy and hate infesting my bones
    Wake up, you’ve got a lot of things to do
    Wake up, the sun is rising without you

    A Day Without World War Three https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/a-day-without-world-war-three

    There is so much going on in the news, and much of it seems contradictory, or changes completely from morning to afternoon, that it is difficult to keep up with, but there are unifying principles at play.
    Global, “western” $US-based finance, predicated on real returns upon lending at interest, is meeting the long decline in real industrial economy, and everything possible has been squeezed out of workers and industrial plants. Maintenance has been delayed to breakdown.
    Global finance, “old money”, seems to be incorporated in “The City of London”, as much as anything, though it is distributed in Paris, New York, Frankfurt, and transnationally, also. It is UK/”London” bets against Russia and for Ukraine which had to be renegotiated last summer. They are bad, but cannot be admitted, so they are being serviced with more borrowing.
    Europe is suddenly talking about huge military spending to be borrowed, but the German bond market just puked. There is a European “summit” ongoing now, with Rothschild-Paris banker Macron sounding very belligerent against Russia in an official address last night. He is threatening Russia with French nuclear weapons stationed in Germany, it seems… Russia is alarmed. March is the best month to start a big war, according to the Pentagon and ancient Rome. Rome always started a war when citizens grew restless and rebellious.
    The Roman system was based on support of the lenders of debt at interest, the usurers, which system persists, and is naturally prone to crises, such as we are entering, where debt is unsustainable, and somebody must accept losses for the economy to restructure in a constructive way and proceed to provide for the needs of society. More ancient financial systems, where most debt was to kings and temples, would periodically forgive or reduce debts, to stabilize the economy and nation.
    If we compare financial globalist interests, which keep power and ownership in the hands of the usurers, and nationalist interests, which seek to rebuild functional national economies and strong societies, we can see this recurring clash of civilizations.
    In this contexts Russia under Putin, the USA under Trump, Hungary under Orban, India under Modi, Iran and China all have a certain shared interest in maintaining national integrity, though it is common to hold internally-conflicted positions.
    This comes to a head in the Ukraine proxy war. It is time to cut losses, but “London” cannot admit losses, because “London” is bankrupt, and nbeeds WW-3 to maintain power and “ownership”. That system of control by global usurers needs to be gently deflated without WW-3, and we, all of us, need to build national life-support systems with what we have, as oil supplies decline from the post-2018-peak plateau they are in.
    Every day without World War 3 is a good day.

    Ukraine has a lot of February and March 2025 IMF loan payments due, after restructuring last August, which total to around $2 million, and according to a staff level review at the end of February, Ukraine is still drawing down funds, which is fine if it increases and collects the cigarette tax. The UK backs Ukraine’s IMF loans. The UK just lent Ukraine another $3 billion.

    ​ Trump Piles Pressure On Zelensky, Now Demands ‘Quick Ceasefire’ To Go With Minerals Deal
    European officials have been told that President Donald Trump wants to link the proposed US-Ukraine minerals deal to demands for Kyiv to commit to a quick ceasefire with Russia, according to people familiar with the matter.
    ​ Washington has indicated that Trump is ready to finalize the agreement on natural resources, which has been on hold since his Oval Office fallout with Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, on condition the Ukrainian leader agrees to tangible path for a truce and talks with Moscow, the people said.
    ​ This is a huge development, which could see peace talks come together quickly – as Ukraine possesses little or no leverage with either Moscow or Washington at this point (only now heavily relying on Europe, which can’t fill the heavy lifting previously done by the US) – or else this will see the US and Ukraine relationship suffer total collapse.

    ​ The UK and France are the only two nuclear powers in Europe. “We need reforms, we need to make choices, and we need to be brave,” Macron says.

    ​ France, Germany, & Poland Are Competing For Leadership Of Post-Conflict Europe
    ​ Regardless of what ends up transpiring, the “military Schengen” that was pioneered between Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands last year and to which France expressed an intent to join will likely continue incorporating more EU members in order facilitate these three aspiring leaders’ interests. Germany needs this for its “Fortress Europe” plans, Poland needs its allies to swiftly come to its aid in a hypothetical war with Russia, while France needs this to entrench its influence in Southeastern Europe.
    ​ What’s ultimately being determined through the interplay of France, Germany, and Poland’s competing leadership plans for post-conflict Europe is the continent’s future security architecture, which will also be influenced to varying degrees by Russia and the US, be it jointly through their “New Détente” and/or independently. There are too many uncertainties at present to confidently predict what this emerging order will look like, but the dynamics described in this analysis account for the most likely scenarios.​ https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/03/france-germany-poland-are-competing-for-leadership-of-post-conflict-europe.html

    ​ Reality Confronts the Euro Ruling-Strata – ‘Through the Tear in the Fantasy Bubble, They See Their Own Demise’​, By Alastair Crooke
    ​ They (the Euro-élites) don’t have a chance: “If Trump imposes this tariff [25%], the U.S. will be in a serious trade conflict with the EU”, the Norwegian Prime Minister threatens. And what if Brussels does retaliate?
    ​ “They can try, but they can’t”, Trump responded. Von der Leyen has, however, already promised that she will retaliate. Nonetheless, the combined suite of the Anglo administrative forces is still unlikely to compel Trump to put U.S. military troops on the ground in Ukraine to protect European interests (and investments!).
    ​ The reality is that every European NATO member – to varying degrees of self-embarrassment – admits publicly now that none of them want to participate in securing Ukraine without having U.S. military troops provide ‘backstop’ to those European forces. This is a palpably obvious scheme to inveigle Trump into continuing the Ukraine war – as is Macron and Starmer’s dangling of the mineral deal to try to trick Trump to recommit to the Ukraine war. Trump plainly sees through these ploys.
    ​ The fly in the ointment, however, is that Zelensky seemingly fears a ceasefire, more than he fears losing further ground on the battlefield. He too, seems to need the war to continue…
    ​..As Adam Collingwood writes:
    ​ “Trump has torn a huge rip in the interface layer of the fantasy bubble … the governing élite [in the wake of Trump’s pivot] can see not just an electoral setback, but rather a literal catastrophe. A defeat in war, with [Europe] left largely defenceless; a de-industrialising economy; crumbling public services and infrastructure; large fiscal deficits; stagnating living standards; social and ethnic disharmony – and a powerful populist insurgency led by enemies just as grave as Trump and Putin in the Manichean struggle against vestiges of liberal times – and strategically sandwiched between two leaders that both despise and disdain them …”.
    ​ “In other words, through the tear in the fantasy bubble, Europe’s elites see their own demise …”.​ https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/no_author/reality-confronts-the-euro-ruling-strata-through-the-tear-in-the-fantasy-bubble-they-see-their-own-demise/

    ​ Revolutions happen when the people band together against a corrupt government and demand change. Greece came to an utter standstill over the weekend after hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to demand answers on the second anniversary of the nation’s deadliest rail disaster. It is hard to imagine the sheer magnitude of these protests, which are believed to be the largest in modern Greek history.
    ​ All flights were suspended. Transportation services were unavailable. Public services came to an abrupt halt as everyone took to the streets. Political affiliation, race, gender, sex, religion, and every other category that governments use to divide the people were forgotten for a brief moment in Greek history as everyone banded together against the government. This is precisely what governments fear—the people acknowledging that the government rather than their neighbor is the problem.​ http://armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/greece/the-largest-protest-in-modern-greek-history/

    The Egyptian plan calls for the Palestinian Authority to manage Gaza while rejecting President Trump’s call to ethnically cleanse the strip.
    ​ An Arab summit convened in Cairo on 4 March adopted an Egyptian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza in a bid to counter US President Donald Trump’s proposal to forcibly expel Palestinians from the strip while turning it into a “Middle East Riviera” for Israel’s Jewish settlers.
    ​ The final statement from the summit called for finding a realistic alternative to the displacement of the Palestinian people and, before that, the categorical rejection of their displacement from their land or within it.
    ​ It also condemned the “starvation and scorched earth policies” pursued by Israel to forcibly displace Palestinians and stressed the importance of implementing the second and third stages of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which call for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the strip.​ https://popularresistance.org/arab-leaders-endorse-egypts-53bn-plan-for-gaza-reconstruction/

    And the American people have been too enstupified to recognize the truth even if they were allowed to hear it.

    Too hard on the American ppl. Dumbest I guy I know is my boss The Asian Indian. He comports himself as if he thinks size and bombast are tantamount to LeadershipS. Ya see he knows all the things that matter that he’s not and I am, taller than him, White, American, western Pennsylvanian, athlete, Veteran, Navy, CAPT and unlike D an all around nice guy to my patients and staff DO matter to him and always will for time immemorial
    Hahaha…..that was for D and semi-obliquely for tdk

    … and to that end:

      Askance and Scotoma

    Blindness without the willfulness and possibly all of the consciousness.

    CRS vs truth tae vs heuristics vs couple of guy’s epistemology.

    Go to archived blogs Chris Floyd’s Empire Burlesque, Richard Seymour’s Lenin’s Tomb, Jesus’s General patriotboyblog, A Distant Ocean Caruso’s in search of truth and they’ll let you know you won’t find it.

    “Askance”

    “Scotomitisation” ?sp is it even a word. Lol, but we can know what he meant by that.


      Language seduces us into an imaginary domain, an order of images. But it is an image – as with the Apple logo betokening forbidden knowledge – that precipitates our fall. Once we can see, we can look. And once we can look, we can labour.

      The garden of virtual delights we call the internet, according to Jonathan Beller, is a factory, extended in space and time. Looking is labouring, and the value of whatever is looked at is just the fetishised form of all the glances, or lingering inspections, that the image draws. Capital posits looking as labouring, and turns looking time into socially-necessary-cybertime. It binds perception to production, orchestrating the extraction of sensuous labour

      Capital sets about re-making the image in its own image. The rules of verisimilarity and legibility are modelled on the social structure, so that an image which does not in some way code the norms and protocols of that structure strikes one askance. The cultural pathways of race, sex, nationality and so on are converted into images which can captivate the look, and capture the labour of looking.

      The first act of communication, then, brings the human being to a place beyond conscious choice. 10 The French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche describes in similar terms the first relationship of child and parent. The mother unconsciously transmits to her child seductive messages, which intimate aspects of her life that he is incapable of grasping. The child receives the impact of the other in all her beauty; he is dazzled by a light beyond his comprehension. The alienness of the other is registered; its unassimilable, stimulating message is locked within. From now, the child will be haunted, decentered by his unconscious life. In Freud’s words, “The ego is not master in his own house.”  

       — Aviva Gottlieb Zornberg, The Murmuring Deep 

      Lacking a symbolic structure to give structure to the imaginary world, the psychotic depends on a knot of delusion to hold it all together. Should it unravel, the subject would be exposed to a terrifying chaos of experience. And a delusion is not in the order of belief, about which one can entertain doubts: it is experienced as certainty, as an objective, intrusive reality. For that reason, psychotic delusion is often discernible not by its incoherence, but by its spurious and often elaborate coherence.

    Shades of The Matrix, Morpheus speech about how the Matrix is everything, everywhere, in all things in all actions etc.

    It should be noted only with the most insistent propaganda and financial warfare, backed by trillions of dollars, has the string of culture been pushed at all. We still use 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and hours from Sumeria 6,000+ years ago. Expressions, idioms, ways of organizing society, ways of producing, ways of communicating, modes of child rearing… I would have to go on endlessly to list everything. And “recent” traditions turn out to just be re-branded traditions with continuity from earlier times.

    People get jobs, adopt professions, and continue the traditions of 6,000 years — but of course, those descend from pre-history. Perhaps the traditions of 40,000 years then. Yeah, there’s ads on TV. There are billboards. And driving SOME people into anti-traditional fits has just annoyed everyone else to a fever pitch.

    “Capital” doesn’t envelop people in pseudo reality. People get jobs and live their lives. Maybe it’s all the human stuff plus jobs and professions. Everything is downstream from culture. Observably, some societies can develop modern industrial civilization and some cannot. “capital” therefore lives trapped inside the Matrix of Culture. It is an emergent property of it.

    Why does the leftist intellectual stuff seems to always go along with degeneracy – why is that?

    I’m 3/5 of the way through Crime & Punishment now. 1866 and there’s socialists in there talking about how they’re going to find their wife “a lover” to show how much they “respect” her. Other weird stuff – that we would THINK were modern developments.

    So it is a strange and very persistent co-morbidity – leftism/degeneracy.

    Tradition is just… solutions to problems we forgot we had. I was an atheist, postmodernist, deconstructionist, leftist for decades. The 2020’s were like aversion therapy – when your mom catches you smoking, forces you to smoke the whole carton. Ugh. Anytime I see a leftist “intellectual” and PARTICULARLY A PSYCHOLOGIST OR PSYCHIATRIST dabbling in degeneracy, I’m getting to the point of just tossing it aside offhand. As I continue to roto-root my soul. Angry leftist liberal here.

    Orientation. Means more than they think. They are oriented toward ORDER, or they are oriented in Rebellion to God.

    People ask “For the love of all things holy, HOW can they POSSIBLY still being going trans, amputation, anti-women, such to bankrupt the state of Maine on this hill, while giggling maniacally if some woman athlete gets a permanent brain injury?”

    How? Rebellion to God. God is what is REAL. What is the most, highest rebellion to all logic, reason, order, common sense, truth, honesty, the witness of your very eyes and senses? You see, they WANT the lie. They’re not lying to fool you. No. They want you to KNOW it’s a lie. What is the highest lie and rebellion their little Emo minds can fabricate? To gender itself, a fundamental polarity of the universe. WHY is it so “degenerate”? Because they’re like children, stunted. A mafia king might have vices, but they would be fine dinners, beautiful women, and so on. Emo Kidz, they have the mind of 10 year olds, not understanding adults, gender, or sex. So that’s where their minds go: wouldn’t it be super cool and edgy if I put my penis there? Boy, that’s crazy, that’s like the craziest, edgiest, newest thing any of us have ever thought. Bet no human ever thought THAT before! We’re practically revolutionary!

    No. You are not. You’re small and embarrassing. Even your evil sucks. But what is it? A childish rebellion to God, and this is the biggest disorder their tiny shriveled minds can fit.
