Pablo Picasso Woman Sitting Near a Window (Marie-Therese) 1932 (sold 2 years ago for $103.4 million) • Russia Case Against Trump: A Shocking Co
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 17 2023]Ha ha ha ha!
According to the report, virtually none of the officials interviewed by Durham knew about the Clinton Plan intelligence or the referral memo. Former FBI general counsel James Baker “stated that he had neither seen nor heard of the Clinton Plan intelligence or the resulting Referral Memo prior to his interview” with Durham. Same with Supervisory Special Agent-1, reportedly FBI agent Joe Pientka. According to the report, when Durham showed Pientka the information, he became “visibly upset and emotional, left the interview room with his counsel, and subsequently returned to state emphatically that he had never been apprised of the Clinton Plan intelligence and had never seen the aforementioned Referral Memo. Supervisory Special Agent-1 expressed a sense of betrayal that no one had informed him of the intelligence.”
The reason so few FBI officials knew of the Clinton Plan information is because it was buried
Visibly upset and emotional….sure as the more socially acceptable and functionally admirable “invisibly upset and unemotional” as we witnessed recently with TikTokking RNs not protesting their vulnerable patients placed on murderously needless ventilators during the “stacked like cordwood COVID crisis”. However, 98 percent of co-opted MDs participated too. So there’s that.
However you gotta love the adjacent article posted by our host that states in its title CIAs John Brennan “DOCTOR[ed]” the memorandum.
Doctor as in change something in order to deceive people or pretend something works like mRNA vaccines and ventilators when they don’t simply because we can’t handle the blow to our self-esteem or the banking bottom line
What “they” under estimate is the fact that a large portion of their citizens don’t buy the shit they’re selling. Decades of falsehoods and outright lies that are being exposed daily now and the bureaucracy is wondering how it lost its flock! Reflection doesn’t seem to be their strong suit.
“In Slovakia, more than 50% of the population believe in conspiracy theories, including those about the Russian war of aggression. To this day, we underestimate the influence of Russian propaganda.”
We need a lot more of this:
“His lawyer, Pierre-Olivier Sur, told AFP that the summons had been sent too close to the day and was therefore “invalid”.
A Lebanese legal source told AFP this week that the authorities there had failed to serve Salameh with the summons, despite four attempts by police to deliver it to the central bank.
After Salameh failed to show Tuesday, the magistrate in charge of the case had the option of issuing a fresh summons, but instead decided to issue an international warrant for his arrest.”
The following sounds like a fair description of most western .govs at this point.
“[The Tories’] solution to potholes is not shovels and tarmac but more regulations and fines. And, collectively, the result is dysfunction in our national executive: an anxious, purposeless, neurotic cycling and re-cycling of thought, chronically un-translated into action — because those who thought of them lack the moral confidence to propagate their vision among more practical members of the polity.”

I, along with a small number of good, kind & loving MEN, became aware of a rising tide of liars, cheats, thieves & murderers growing like a cancer within the.gov over 30 years ago, and with each passing week We were continually bewildered & *shocked* by obvious lack of integrity, morals & ethics insidiously resident across an ever growing aggregate of political spheres within the U$ofA…
These “people” are in reality a psychopathic breed of parasite feeding off of the once Greatness of America, quickly surrounding themselves with toadies, sycophants & lackeys (operatives), infiltrating bureaucratic, .MIL & .GOV positions just as quickly as they achieved the *power* to do so…
And all the while the electorate seemed to either not notice, or vocally supported this “transition” as the norm 🙄

This *now* established CULTure of perfidious character despises everything/everyone good, decent & life affirming in that Made America Great, want it eradicated even if it means the end of the United States of America…
And the gate keepers are *now* mostly cut from this malignant ideology, who believe that not only are they Above The Law, THEY ARE THE LAW.
And they are laughing at any normal, law/tax abiding Americans that believe they can do *anything* about the CULTure of tyrannical insanity unfurling from Sea-To-Shining-Sea.
They can’t be reasoned with, they can’t be shown the light of *truth*, they crave nothing less than the *total* destruction of The American Dream & the subjugation of all producers into the communal trough of shared equity, utter debasement of the middle class, rule-of-law, the *normal* family unit, the very fabric of society itself 😐
Did you notice that disingenuous grin on the January 6th Lead Prosecutor’s face?
THEY are laughing at you America, don’t you get the joke yet?

Copper is at the heart of everything electric. It is no exaggeration to say, that our entire “renewable, clean, green” future hinges upon its uninterrupted supply. In fact, according to a recently released report, we would need to mine more of it than what we did during the course of our entire written history, in order to transform the world economy to using electricity alone. This is not to mention the fact that this amount of material would only cover the build-out of the first generation of wind and solar power plants (together with the many electric engines, batteries, inverters, transformers etc) needed for the change. Where do we get all that copper from? A riddle? To some, maybe, but not for those who dare to look into the eye of the monster standing in between achieving our net zero dreams and the actual reality.
———————————————-Here comes the study I linked above into the picture. Let me list some tell tale facts and figures here to illustrate the task at hand. Our global reserves of copper amounts to some 880 million tons, however, a transition to an energy system powered by a combination of “renewables”, nuclear and hydro would require us to mine 4575 million tons — some five times the amount we have located so far. Considering 2019 production levels, and presuming we would magically discover the missing amount, we would still need 189 years to mine the needed amount for the first — I repeat: the first — generation, then run out of copper. Globally and completely.

The slant of their article converges with a theme now sweeping over Europe and the entire Ukrainian-supporting Western structure. It is that slow-gnawing realization that has been dawning on these Euro-apparatchiks like a cold sweat over the past several weeks: that Ukraine’s coming offensives will not prove decisive in any way; that Ukraine has no real chance in the present or short-term future. That the only way to move forward without sustaining an historically humiliating loss is to ‘kick the can down the road’ and focus on building a pro-war coalition for the future, one that can hope to match Russia’s long term military-economic sustainment potential.
And this is the general arc of Kofman-Lee’s desperate plea here. Couched in carefully mindful tones—so as not to cause too much panic or alarm amongst their decidedly fragile NAFO supporters—Kofman-Lee slowly build the case for why any sort of dramatic or decisive success should not be expected, and why instead the narrative needs to shift towards building long term sustainment infrastructure for Ukraine to be able to fight what is now likely to be a very long, drawn out conflict.
Ukraine is also eager to demonstrate that, despite months of brutal fighting, its military is not exhausted and remains able to break through Russian lines.
Indeed, what follows this operation could be another period of indeterminate fighting and attrition, but with reduced ammunition deliveries to Ukraine. This is already a long war, and it is likely to become protracted. History is an imperfect guide, but it suggests wars that endure for more than a year are likely to go on for at least several more and are exceedingly difficult to end. A Western theory of success must therefore prevent a situation in which the war drags on, but where Western countries are unable to provide Ukraine with a decisive advantage.

The Copper Conundrum“Obviously, we have a very serious math problem here. Amounts of copper in the ground notwithstanding, and to make matters worse, peak oil supply will also play a major role here, as we are still mining using diesel power.”
———-So in the Max Keiser/Tucker Carlson interview the other day, Max repeated something I heard him say over the decades, that pension fund managers and the dumbest of the dumb on Wall St and as useful over paid idiots they will buy bottomless amounts of financial junk and garbage and put that crap into your pension funds
This has been going on for decades with the most toxic trash in the Financial Empire of Lies being stuffed into the pension funds
This chart from above showing bad banking losses from bonds and debt securities MIRRORS what has happened in pension funds
Actually pension funds are even worse than banking debt
So imagine when the bank debt explodes and millions turn to their ‘pensions’ as a fall back and they find out there is no fall back.
Do you really think the Feds are capable of baling out the all the pension funds in the Empire of Lies?
Do you actually think the FDIC can bailout ALL the bank deposits?
Same deal
I still think the Sheeple, having lost all their money in the banks AND all their pension funds will still just sit their with their collective thumbs up their collective asses and literally close to nothing of substance.
There is no fight left in the Sheeple People of the Empire of Lies, they will take any amount of abuse and ask for more please master.

Don’t agree at all with Kofman-Lee rant
I’m with Col Macgregor’s assessment that Russia has 750,000 trained and very well equipped troops with more reserves building and that once Bakhmut falls and the Ukronazis have to fall back on a very thinly defensible third line, the Russians will roll over them like a cheap whore.
The Russians have blown up the bridges connecting Romanian supply line to Odessa and they will cross the Dneiper to it’s west side and take Odessa from the north, Kharkov in the North and then straight at Kiev
MacGregor just said that the Russians have destroyed over 10,000 armored personnel carriers to date. So how are the Ukronazis going to bring their poorly trained, exhausted, demoralized men to the front?
Datsun pickup trucks and Uber rides?
The two ammo dumps just blown up by the Russian looked like tactical nuclear explosions they were so big and one had the DU shells in it and the radioactive dust is all over the town and countryside where the ammo dump was located.
The Ukronazis were low on ammo to begin with, now they are really low.
Offensive need at least a three to one advantage to work.
You mean the Ukronazis have 2 million trained and equipped troops to go at the Russians 700,000 troops with?

This includes the Katie Hobbs case that moved forward this week. Media reports “Everything was dismissed!” (except the stuff that wasn’t.) “There’s nothing to see!” (because we won’t look) and “it’s an impossible case”: she has to prove signatures were inaccurate. Um…guys? That’s all she’s been TRYING to prove. She spent the whole year just trying to GET to court. So I suspect she has evidence. Lower court tried to say “She waited too long.” Too long? Like the day after the election? Yup, can’t check before, no crime was committed, can’t check after because it’s too late. AZ SC said, “Um no, if that’s all you’ve got, that’s not logical. Proceed.” Which is the accurate decision for a change.

Great idea! Speaking of, I hear the U.S. Treasury is down to $50B. That’s like 7 days or something? So…we should go ask Ukraine for a little loan, right?

“• Aide Reveals Zelensky’s F-16 Wish List – Politico (RT)
They can’t go because they’ll be blown out of the sky, de-frocking the entire U.S. military for 40 years. All our war sales are useless as a paper boat. Here’s the other problem: they shot those Patriot missiles yesterday and failed instantly. Like 30 went off in 5 minutes at $5M/per? And hit nothing? As I say, if it can stop 10, send 12, Problem solved. But the Patriot like other hardware – and hardware all over the world actually – it fits into a SYSTEM that readers at home don’t understand. That’s not just Money and logistics system — though that’s a problem — but it’s not operational WITHOUT F-16s or other air support they were designed for. And something else, I forget, maybe battlefield-level ground coverage too. Patriots do their thing. Aside from failing everywhere they’ve been used, Israel, Saudi, even failing to stop a slow-moving homemade kid’s drone in Yemen, they still wouldn’t work WITHOUT the F-16s.
Which Russia will blow out of the sky.
Speaking of, how are they hitting planes all of a sudden? I suspect Britain is in there with something, targeting them, until Russia can compensate for “it”, whatever “it” is.
On the front, Ukraine is supposed to be attacking. Nada. Then no weapons depot. Ka-bloowie. So what’s happening is there are 100 small stories on the front and 99 of them are “Russia wins, takes territory.” Not fast, but you can’t shift the tide of war by losing every day.
On F-16s, note they are trying for a slow escalation to prevent nuclear exchange, just like expanding NATO. Only to have the ENTIRE WEST attacking one nation: Russia, every day. Bleeding them for 20 years. Why should Russia agree?
“It’s the women…

This is a foundational element of Feminism, that women can’t be women but must become men. More men than men, actually. (Because we hate men? And the patriarchy is bad so we have to do it harder? Unclear) That’s the only way to “prove”, to ‘succeed’ and to be ‘independent’. Prove to who, succeed at what and be independent from whom is undefined. Prove themselves to men, which means they remain subservient to them forever, is my conclusion. Succeed in making the “male” system worse and harder than even when men run it, and “independent,” finally free from heart, family, and all emotions. Love is really what was holding them back. If they expunge all love forever, I’m sure they’ll finally be real women. Especially if they use command, force, and violence. Nothing says “filling all female potential” like that.
That is, being a worse man than a man every could.
Well you tell me. This ties into their freedom for women to be whatever they want…so long as that is never, EVER mothers, wives, or support community and family at home.

To be honest, I have never been able to grasp the essence of Gnostic “Sophia” in the slightest. Nor Mithras for that matter. I consider that quite a blind spot as I can’t believe it is that difficult. We have heard the names of Adam’s and Eve’s other children, should be more advertised. Same problems as before: a minute after born Abel “Did agriculture”? Um, that’s a really, really complex system, it already existed at your birth? How? By animal instinct? Similarly that Cain went off “To the cities” whoa, whoa: he’s the third human born but there are “cities” somewhere we have to worry about ten-thousands of men harassing him to make the Mark? Explain? In this case, Gen 2 was already still around for Noah which happened like a year later, I guess. None of these fit together, not even metaphorically.

“Core Hypothesis” is up https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/core-hypothesis
I spent about 4 hours yesterday afternoon carefully reading and considering this extensively researched and annotated hypothesis by The Ethical Skeptic. He observes that the amount of oceanic heating taking place is more than the atmospheric heating, and his physics-based thermal analysis indicates that it is not physically possible that the air heated the oceans that much. Additionally, the oceans have hot spots at the deepest trenches, volcanic trenches, and flows of hot water through the cold depths, to the surface, conveying heat to the surface, and speeding up the thermohaline flows, like the Gulf stream. Additionally, a couple of these hot spots, deep heat transfer areas, are under polar ice sheets, and cause local melting from the bottom of the ice, which has been hard to explain.
The heat rising from the mantle, through conductive zones in the crust, also heats deep deposits of oil and other hydrocarbons, releasing CO2 and methane. This adds to the greenhouse gasses created by humans, and caused the CO2 to peak during the (northern) fall equinox, during COVID lockdowns in 2020, a time when human burning of fossil fuels was at a minimum.
The Ethical Skeptic summarizes that most greenhouse gasses are coming from this process and China, and that the planetary surface-heat accumulation, mainly in the oceans, is more than can be explained from the gain and loss from the solar energy entering and leaving the Earth’s atmosphere, which he als analyzes in detail.
He describes a mechanism for transfer of heat from the nickel-iron core of the earth, through the molten-lava mantle layer, and through the more-conductive zones of the crust. This process also concurs with changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, which is lessening, and with slowing of the rate of rotation, as the more dense and massive metal conveys outward away from the rotational center. This is a reversible process over time. The directional-driver of this process in forward or reverse is not described here. This appears to be a fleshing out or fleshing in of processes within the earth which have been black-boxes until now.
From my viewpoint this does not contradict anthropogenic global warming or the space-weather analysis and catastrophic cycle, which Ben Davidson propounds. I am not able to build that particular theoretical bridge, but I am not the first to see that link, either. The Skeptic is somewhat aware of Davidson’s hypotheses, but has not explored them in any detail. I am interested to see if these analytical models might find common-ground over time.
The Climate Change Alternative We Ignore (to Our Peril) , The Ethical Skeptic
Recent climate change may originate from structural and exothermic phase changes in the nickel-iron core of the Earth, and not primarily from man’s activity alone. Lattice structure (phase) changes in sloughed (shed) core material releases latent kinetic energy (heat) which flows to the asthenosphere and abyssal ocean depths, thereby becoming genesis of the majority of observed climate change and its long-associated geomagnetic dipole phenomena.

Russia’s military may have taken out a US-supplied Patriot anti-air battery in Ukraine, which if true would be a very significant first since the advanced Raytheon-made defense weapon was deployed there.
This came as Ukrainian officials have cited an exceptionally dense attack on Kyiv overnight, which included cruise missiles and drones, and even allegedly Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Ukraine was hit by at least 18 missiles and nine drones were sent, with media reports saying some six ballistic missiles (including Kinzhal) were launched.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-says-it-took-out-us-supplied-patriot-missile-unit-hypersonic-strike-kievMoon of Alabama (Germany) has this story also, with confirmatory details, but this comment is more detailed. Thanks Zerosum.
The main target was the US Patriot anti-aircraft missile system itself. As well as some military-industrial facilities and command posts, ammunition depots and fuel bases.
The main thing is that the “Patriot” could not shoot down our Kinzhal, which eventually destroyed the American battery. As for our other means of attack, the Ukrainian air defense system managed to shoot down only about 10% of our Kalibr missiles and Geran drones. 90% of them reached the goal.
So far, there is information that the sky over Kiev was covered by 1 Patriot battery with 16 missiles. Other batteries are only put into combat by the Americans. It is expected that there will be at least 4 such batteries.
It took one “Kinzhal”. The auxiliary vehicles and units included in the American battery finished off by Calibers.
This tactic was “prompted” to us by the Americans themselves. First wave were Geranium drones. They were spotted by American radars and thus gave away their positions. Next came anti-radar missiles that destroyed enemy radars. And after that, Caliber and Dagger flew over the already blind Patriot and other objects.
About the cost of the Kinzhal – there is information that it can cost from 30 to 70 million rubles, depending on the modification. But one Patriot missile is estimated at about $ 4 million – 4-8 times more expensive than our hypersonic ammunition. And the Ukrainians (or Americans?) fired from 16 to 30 missiles at targets. Well, the destroyed Patriot battery itself costs from $ 0.5 to 1 billion – this also depends on its modification.
Yes, our air defense specialists did not immediately manage to find an antidote for the British Storm Shadow, which in recent days have been hitting Lugansk. As is the case with the American Himars. Now, on some days, we shoot dozens of Himars from the sky. The same thing happened with Storm Shadow. We hit these 7 missiles with the help of Buk-3M, Tor, Pantsir-S and an electronic warfare system that forced foreign missiles to go far from the target.
By the way, Storm Shadow is a very expensive ammunition. The cost of 1 rocket – Storm $ 1.3 million.

“He was named a World Economic Forum (WEF) Young Global Leader in 2020.”Who’s On Board
Apeel Technology was founded in 2012 by James Rogers, a Ph.D. scientist out of U.C. Santa Barbara, who began searching for a solution to the perishability of the produce he noticed growing abundantly on his drive through the central coast of California; on the way to his Berkeley lab. He was named a World Economic Forum (WEF) Young Global Leader in 2020.To date, Apeel has received 719 million dollars in funding from multiple sources, including Anne Wojcicki (23andMe), Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, GIC (the sovereign wealth fund of the government of Singapore), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, as well as a number of other investment firms and venture capitalists.
Among their board members you will find Walter Robb; former co-CEO of Whole Foods and Senior Executive Partner at S2G Ventures (an Apeel investor), Yves Sisteron; Founding Partner at Upfront Ventures, (an Apeel investor) and Vijay Pande; an Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford, serves on the board of Scribe Therapeutics (a CRISPR company), founded Globavir Biosciences (an infectious disease start-up), and is General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (an APEEL investor).
Apeel has already secured the following partnerships:
Nature’s Pride (large importer of Europe’s avocados)
Sage Fruit Co. (Washington State organic apple producer)
Del Monte (avocados)
Eco Farms (avocados)
Del Rey (avocados)
Horton Fruit Company (avocados)
RV Aguacates (avocados)
Alpine Fresh (asparagus)
Beta (asparagus)
Farm Direct Supply (asparagus)
La Venta (asparagus)
SiCar Farms (limes)
Many other fruits and vegetables including tomatoes, leafy greens, cucumbers, raspberries, as well as citrus can use the Edipeel coating, with undoubtedly more produce being added in the future. Apeel’s website even offers a store locator to find where their products are carried near you.How Safe Is Safe? You Decide
In October 2019, Apeel Sciences sent a notice of submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) notification for their use of “a mixture of monoacylglycerides derived from grape seed.” The notice states:“Apeel Sciences has determined that a mixture of monoacylglycerides (i.e., monoglycerides or fatty acid monoesters of glycerol) derived from grape seed is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), consistent with Section 201{s) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This determination is based on scientific procedures as described in the following sections, under the conditions of its intended use in selected food. Therefore, the use of a mixture of monoacylglycerides derived from grape seed is exempt from the requirement of premarket approval.
It should be noted that although the substance is referred to as ‘a mixture of monoacylglycerides’ throughout this document (which is consistent with the nomenclature used in GRN 648), the substance may also be identified as ‘mono- and diglycerides’ in the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and international regulatory bodies such as the Codex Alimentarius.
Grapeseed oil, a mixture of triglycerides containing common dietary fatty acids, is extruded from grape seeds by mechanical pressing. The oil is processed to generate monoacylglycerides containing exclusively the same naturally occurring fatty acids in the grape seed oil in their saturated forms. Common dietary fatty acids that naturally occur in grapeseed oil (Kamel et al., 1985)—linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and palmitoleic acids—are processed to generate the saturated forms…”
This may sound innocuous or even healthy, but according to leading health experts, grapeseed oil is composed of polyunsaturated fats (PUFA’s), especially Omega-6 fatty acids and Omega-9 fatty acids, that when consumed in high quantities, or have a higher-than-ideal ratio to Omega-3 fatty acids, increased inflammation, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, and obesity.
The notice continued:
“The catalyst used to generate the monoacylglycerides and the neutralizing agent subsequently used to quench the catalyst are both safe and suitable for use in food. A liquid–liquid extraction with water and heptane or ethyl acetate4 is performed to remove unreacted glycerol, residual catalyst, and the residual neutralizing agent. The saturated forms of the naturally occurring fatty acids are then formed in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst (20% w/w palladium hydroxide supported on carbon).”@Red: Let’s not get the asparagus with that special coating for a few years,and see what more we learn, huh?
@Mr. House: I had to think before I realized you meant “Dr. Tim Morgan” at Surplus Energy Economics.
I don’t think he is a “gatekeeper”, per se, but he does confine discussion to his area of expertise as an academic defense, which is customary in academics. He is following academic conventions in that regard.
He is a clearly identified public figure, unlike The Ethical Skeptic, who is an anonymous public figure, and A Midwestern Doctor, who is the same.
One should respect the welfare of others in maintaining their ability to carry on in their professions.“One should respect the welfare of others in maintaining their ability to carry on in their professions.”
Indeed, and one wonders if he was for excluding people from grocery stores and society in general if they didn’t do what they were told? I find his lack of curiosity concerning, and he essentially writes the same thing every week. We’ve known what he’s saying for a few years now so its not ground breaking. Most of what happened in 2020 was economic, so i find his defense of not discussing it lacking in credibility.
The situation in the Bakhmut meat grinder is complicated, but everyone understands that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have actually lost control over
the city.FORTIFICATIONS BUILT SINCE 2014.boscohorowitz- we’re on some kind of wavelength. I was thinking about the Freddie Mercury Farewell/Tribute concert this morning as I was making coffee. This isn’t TO you, just the rant I was thinking about this morning. interesting we were both thinking of that concert.
Brian May has, in his classy, restrained way, explained in multiple interviews how Queen “Lost America.” (the Bud Light moment of Queen, so to speak) This of course has to do with the Hot Space album and Freddie being gay, but Queen clearly do not understand what actually happened to this day… or they DO but don’t dare articulate it?
What a crock of #%@@# the Queen movie was. A schlocky afterschool special of a movie full of fiction. Queen didn’t come off an estranged hiatus to perform a miracle at Live Aid. They’d just come off touring for The Works (7 months together), sharp as razor blades, rehearsed as #%&#. Of COURSE they blew all the other bands off the stage. (I cheered and clapped in the movie theatre anyway. Queen is a bit silly, we get that, we love you guys anyway)
According to the movie, the media and public, in the EIGHTIES was so so concerned… is Freddie GAY???? O RLY? Uh, watch Live At The Rainbow 1974. Is there ANY QUESTION in ANYONE’S mind, apart from the most naive and retarded? Is that not a 2 hour long coming-out party, but only an aside, incidental to performing totally #%#&ing awesome rock? And this was what, after Queen II? Maybe Sheer Heart Attack? Very early on.
The problem was not Freddie being gay. It was that, with Hot Space, Queen tried to be a synth based gay club music band, despite being fantastic at rock and horrible at synthesizer music and even worse at dance music. Plus, rock fans aren’t up for an album or concert of formulaic, shallow, stereotypical gay club music. The Kings had a HORRIBLE time opening for Jeff Beck, and they were still a kind of rock band and Switchin to Glide is an awesome song. But the Beck fans were there for straight-up ROCK god@%$# it, so they booed and thew beer bottles, and The Kings weren’t #%#&ing gay.
ANY person who wasn’t up for a gay rocker was ALREADY out years ago, as far as Queen customers were concerned. There was ZERO crossover between homophobes and Queen fans making their albums go platinum and stadiums sell out year after year. But just like when Hillary lost, the flop of Hot Space was “Geez, this country is CHOCK FULL OF BIGOTS!!! It is the ONLY explanation!!!!”
And Queen kept trying to make synth work for them EVERY subsequent album. Like they just couldn’t take the failure. The Works, It’s a Kind of Magic, The Miracle, Innuendo. This time it will work. (I bought them all, love Queen, but I’m not #$%&ing blind)
Guys. GUYS. Freddie. YOU are the keyboardist of the band. Are you going to woodshed your keyboard chops back up to the piano and harpsichord awesomeness you showed us on Queen I and Queen II? No??? You guys going to do what U2 did before Zooropa, a #%#%ton of homework, a deep dive on current music to educate yourselves? No? You going to throw out the synths and do what you do best? No? Hire Trevor Horn to save you, make it work? No? Just be synth amateur dilletantes, do what your vague impression of “cool” is on a 10 year pop culture awareness lag? Like when GenX rockers in the 2000’s speak of now grey-haired Trent Reznor, sincerely awestruck at newness – “He plays the computer like it is an instrument” You’re missing a decade or two there, buddy.
Queen “lost america” when Freddie decided to adopt the persona of a shallow one-note dude who goes to euro gay clubs. The particular jeans, belt, sleeveless shirt, haircut, mustache, behavior patterns, music infused with all that. The thing you identify with and adore, taken over, murdered, skinned, donned as a meatsuit, the murderer coming towards you arms outstreched saying “I am That Thing You Love, come give us a kiss.”
It is so, so dissapointing when interesting, unique, edgy, fringe people just wanted to live a stereotype from an 80’s John Hughes movie. Like, you WANTED to be a prep, jock, cheerleader, but couldn’t hack it? Wanted to not only be it, but be the stereotype OF it? Becoming Borg was somehow more desirable than being an iconoclastic individual?!!1??! You were unique and absolutely %#$ing ROCKED. YES, Queen fans rejected all things anti-queen. Obviously. Of course. Therefore we will never come to America again. Decades on, Green Day regularly plays a recording of Queen to the Americans waiting in the stands before the concert and everybody sings along, belts out every word of the song, but you LOST america, did you? Idiots, we love you.
One of the reasons I turned Atheist:
God allows evil and suffering in the world because he values our free will as a higher good OVER Good itself. Punishment, accountability can only exist with free choice, so does Hell make sense then? Maybe?
But you don’t look up in the sky and see EVERY SINGLE GOOSE flying NORTH for the winter! You don’t see 100% fail rate. They fly South because of the damn cold every winter every year. Duh.
What if I set 2 bowls in front of you. One filled with cereal, the other filled with broken glass. I pour in some milk, hand you a spoon. Which one do you eat from? Which one do 99.999999% of humanity eat from?
But isn’t sin objectively BAD? Isn’t sin worse than eating broken glass? Isn’t a lacerated esophagous not as bad as eternal suffering and damnation, gnashing of teeth? But EVERYONE can recognize the bowl of glass and avoid it and “all men have sinned in the eyes of god” 100% fail rate. And objectively, sin is worse than glass.
Who WOULD eat the broken glass? Someone with defective faculties. 100% match between people who cannot discern good from bad and defective faculties.
How would choosing the objectively good thing over the objectively bad thing be deterinism, not free will? Obviously, anyone wants BETTER instead of WORSE. Why not make use of FUNCTIONING, NOT BROKEN faculties in your creation?
But turn this around – instead of people at the bottom, look at people at the top. Because people CAN choose, and choose correctly EVERY TIME betwen cereal and broken glass.
What if everyone keeps telling you you suck, your plan sucks, proportionally increasing to the extent you reveal your plan?
If your plan was a GOOD one, all you’d have to do is TELL everyone. They’ll choose the cereal every time. Zooropa #%#&ing WORKED and Hot Space bombed. Not because idiot bigots didn’t understand Queen’s Genius Plan. If you have to obfuscate, lie (to yourself), cheat, steal, do every dirty trick in the book and people STILL detect what your plan is and STILL tell you it sucks, maybe you should be working on not sucking, not on making the sucky plan go through no matter what.
So an open letter to TPTSNB (The Powers That Should Not Be) Stop trying to make Fetch a thing. Stop your damn dilletante synthesizing. Learn the instrument or throw it out. Do what DOESN’T suck and you can TELL everyone about it and get a gagillion people HELPING YOU, solving problems without your input, identifying problems you didn’t even know about and solving them without you ever knowing or needing to know. Your grandiose feelings do NOT equate to grand plans. People will AUTOMATICALLY side with what rocks and doesn’t suck. Geese DO fly south for the winter.
Incidentally, I watched that Freddie farewell concert from start to finish live. It was a disappointment in a way. Robert Plant gasped and staggered across the stage in an inglorious fashion. Axl Rose/Elton John was rough and felt extremely awkward. Annie Lennox/David Bowie was a perfect match yet was milquetoast. The only truly good acts were Extreme, George Micheal, and Seal. Seal couldn’t hit the notes for Who Wants To Live Forever even with the song transposed, but there was something special about his performance that transcended his limitations. I figure the concert was more of an irish wake for the performers and fans, the party backstage throughout the concert must have been epic. I and the crowd I was watching it with loved it anyway.
I just wish there’d been a similar event in America for all us Americans. Damn Yankees doing Gimme The Prize with Ted Nugent doing all the Kurgan bits. Styx, Queensrÿche, Kansas, Metallica, Rush… I’m sure there were QUITE a lot of North American bands that would have lined up begging to do homage. They could have brought in North American divas like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston to sing songs like Who Wants To Live Forever or Somebody To Love. I suspect even the new guys like Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains would not have been too cool, would have wanted to pay homage too. We would have showed you just how “lost” America was.
TPTB, why do you like things that suck, bro? Why not #%&#$ing rock? Why pretend we don’t like it when you Brang Teh Quote Unquote Rawk? Stop trying to make Fetch a thing. Look at an interesting city like New York or Paris. Like it was made by some greater intelligence, no? Convoluted, fascinating, interesting, etc? That was EVERYONE bringing their bit to the table. Just stop stopping people, stop doing lame uncool s#!@%, and freely enjoy the resulting awesomeness. Like Master Suzuki says – “I manage by not managing” Stop being pissed that Jordan Peterson or Carl Benjamin rock too. Instead, simply recognize what rocks and then get the glorious screaming applause and lighters held aloft treatment as a result. Pretty please.

It’s been a month since I last posted on the theme of disenchantment, and a lively month at that. The cracks in America’s global empire have become increasingly visible around the world. Here at home the mentally challenged resident of the White House continues to blunder through a vague approximation of his constitutional duties while the coterie of neoconservative zealots that hand him his talking (or rather mumbling) points is busy trying to start more wars the United States no longer has the resources or the national unity to win. Donald Trump is basking in the success of his recent CNN town hall, Robert Kennedy Jr. is rising steadily in the polls as he campaigns to unseat Biden for the Democratic nomination—well, let’s just sum things up by saying that it’s a good time to go long on popcorn futures.
”Other than quality, Picasso’s work has a pristine provenance, thus allows for comfortable hike in bidding race. Usually bought by the people as investment rather than love of art. Such art “donated” to a local museum shields the owner from myriad of tax liabilities that may arose from other “fun adventures” that moneyed engage and are allowed by the system that many on this site call as a “glitch” or “bad apple” in otherwise great contraption.
State of the Union (from today’s Unz review):
The city of Baltimore has filed a federal lawsuit against car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai, joining a number of cities who say the companies created a public nuisance by making cars that can be easily stolen.
I was almost to use similar to Germ’s sign-off.
City full of car theft
Baltimore: something sucks about these CARS!

I guess the mayonnaise is critical in holding things together and providing a satisfying taste experience!Allow me to provide a solution that will theft-proof your car AND make the car cost less. This even works on Kia and Hyundai
