That’s quite a shot; I wonder how she got it…I just can’t give a shit about the rest; I’ve already kissed off the U.S. government as corrupt, incompetent, and irrelevant…

Minus the U.S., the future is potentially very interesting…“I just can’t give a shit about the rest; I’ve already kissed off the U.S. government as corrupt, incompetent, and irrelevant…

“China Risks Losing Its Financial Window On The World (G.)”China fooled itself thinking it could use markets, which work, and graft Western-style central banking (i.e. fiat fiscal fantasy) on one side and central command economy capitalism (i.e. fascism) on the other. But then, China has been a copycat nation for several centuries after exhausting itself on history’s longest and most exhilarating run among the race of civilizations.
I suspect that, just about the time China is set to become the new global dominatrix, it will collapse into internal squabbling yet again, leaving Russia and whomever to take over management of things like the Silk Road to some extent while China beats itself purple and red.

USA? Don’t be surprised if we get HiroNagasaki’d. A preemptive strike that our radars totally fail to detect. Combined with equally deft surgical removal of critical USA grid sectors. America can’t even get its airliners and space rocket engines to work, while Russia is doing that old Cold War space/arms-race things as well today as it did back in the Bad Old Days of Khrushchev and Brezhnev of the forested eyebrows.
I don’t think anyone wants much to do with us other than gently deflate our economy so as not to deflate their exposure to our economy too fast, while making sure that whatever military madness we unleash (how can we not? we’re homo saps) remains domestic or at least continental. Altho I suspect Canada and Russia will be making nicey-nicey real soon, since they share a common bonanza: the thawing tundra and Arctic Ocean.
USA? We’ll be left to suffer the worst we have to offer, to ourselves, by ourselves. If we’re lucky. Otherwise we’ll suffer that and the worst others have to offer us also.
One thing is obvious: we ain’t gonna win. We ain’t gonna win much of nothing. Hell, we can’t even convict a notorious crook (Trump) and serial rapist (Trump) from the White House cuz everyone who would impeach him is also a crook and serial rapist.
Plan: I’m starting a new business with no taxes, no labor costs, and a multi-million dollar AA credit line. If it goes badly, I have no risk and don’t lose anything. Think I can compete vs. Joe Publix?
Already hearing Bloomberg’s ads. He says he’s going to raise taxes on himself and all his friends and he’s a sharp businessman because he sells news coverage favors to fellow insiders and has run a protected monopoly for 40 years. Sounds legit. Do I exaggerate? Although he already has a policy Bloomberg Co. cannot investigate and expose fellow news organizations – on par with industry collusion and anti-trust violation – his first act as a candidate was to outlaw all investigations into himself. …But I’m sure he’s super-clean and did that ahead of time as his first official act for no reason whatsoever.
Here’s an idea: should Pelosi even call for a mock impeachment vote at this point, every single House Republican should vote FOR it. …Then they can have a real, legal trial in the Senate and get some of this on record, under oath, and finally settled. Since they started and wanted this, it would be hilarious. What would they say? No, DON’T impeach him? We don’t WANT a trial to remove him?
…Sooooooo, no vote will be allowed then? (A: no. Another fail. It may also end their obstruction into legitimate investigations of all of them.)
“The One Terrific Impeachment Defense The White House Is Not Making (DW)”
He’s not making this argument because it would undermine his case when he brings Biden and Co. up on Quid pro Quo bribery charges concerning the worldwide video of him firing the special prosecutor. Committing a felony is not protected speech by the way. You can’t attempt to bribe, incite to riot, or say, issue orders for a murder and claim innocent free speech. This is very, very old law.
“Is Macron Right? Is NATO, 70, Brain Dead? (Buchanan)”
Beyond that I would never agree with Macron, NATO is not brain dead at all. It’s doing exactly what it’s designed to do: cut apart and conquer Russia, and following by pieces, the world. And put it under whose control? And when that clear, everyday, desire is accomplished, would we not have a world unified under NATO, the West, and a few billionaires with access to the control levers? Is that not a one-world government, with a one-world taxing and surveillance structure, as written of in their papers? And since they are doing these attacks with vicious efficiency, both economically and militarily, do we not have a government that is in the middle of a world war trying to take over the planet, say, in Hong Kong, and that government, that system, that army, is us? NATO is in 28 nations and their live-fire military invasions span half the planet. We’ve helped kill 30,000 civilians in just the last few years. What other conclusion could you come to? It’s doing what it’s supposed to, what they’ve written about for 100 years, if only you’d read their biographies and hundreds of PAC filings. And from how the billionaire lever-pullers treat their own people in Paris or Flint, you know what their plans are once they succeed: total destruction and complete peasantry and penury for their own people.
But hey, let’s fund them while the kids of Flint drink out of a pond.
“Questions Cloud Story Behind Browder, Magnitsky (Spiegel)”
That was decades ago, what brings this up? Somebody up to something?
“Narrative Managers Faceplant in Hilarious OPCW Scandal Spin Job (CJ)”
Don’t worry: Phillip Cross will have edited Wikipedia 500x a day over the holiday break to make sure the official OPCW reality is ‘just right.’ Bellingcat, living in his basement in Scotland, is an “on the ground expert” in the whole thing, and his tweets set national policy by which we missile-strike empty airbases 100x. Cue the circus music.
“A Tale of Prince Andrew and Julian Assange (George Galloway)”
I guess we should have seen this coming, when Britain’s greatest known pedophile (and that’s saying something!) Jimmy Seville, was a great guest of the palace and best friends with the royals. To bring it up to today, he was to be the Godfather of William and Harry and be nice and close to them, every day. After his 50-year reign of terror on British children was exposed, well, THEN … the Royal family did nothing. Didn’t even apologize or distance themselves from it. And why would they? Andrew was right there, just like Sir Edward Heath, and well-rumored Prince Phillip before him. It’s a tradition, a national institution, even. Droight de Signeur, only over the whole nation, any time, place, gender, or age, much worse than just wedding nights. …But not to pick on the Royals, since the person at the center of only-this-latest-scandal-and-outing was by citizenship an American with endless American customers that include most of our mayors, governors, and Presidents. People’s reaction? Yawn. “What else is new?” Well, since my daughter is already selling herself on “SugarDaddies.com” to pay for college, what’s the harm? What’s really right or wrong?” As the (non)Pope would say, “Who am I to say?” There’s no right or wrong, and no heaven or hell, it’s just a thing humans make up, so Party On, Andy!
But don’t worry, Andrew of Jeffie will take a fancy to you in the men’s bathroom at the Carleton-Ritz, and then You’re Next. You didn’t mind when it was someone else, why cry now?
As with Assange. You didn’t care when it was him in prison, so who do you think will cry when it’s you they pick up and hold indefinitely on
faketotal lack of current charges?Ah but we space-age people are so much more morally advanced and progressive than our medieval ancestors. We do rape, slavery, murder, with 21st century efficiency. Ah for the old days when they had to actually send down one of only a few knights on horseback that would take 6 weeks before he’d bully, imprison you, and rape your daughter for no good reason. Now like Dominoes, they can do it in 30 minutes or less. True progress.
Oh noes! The Russians are trying to make us happy:

“Narrative Managers Faceplant In Hilarious OPCW Scandal Spin Job (CJ)”
I have considerable overlap today, but I’ve gotta’ run with “Barkie Hates Bernie”. Thanks Ilargi et.al.

Today, almost every Democratic presidential campaign starts with what one close adviser to Barack Obama calls “The Pilgrimage”: the journey to the West End to meet the former president.
It’s like kissing The Pope’s Ring. Barkie never had Tulsi over for a luau. Where’s the Aloha?

Word is out that Obama would have come out to publicly detest Sanders, if he got too high in early primary polling.

Progressive journalist Michael Tracey claimed Tuesday that MSNBC is has dropped all pretenses for their “contempt” towards Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii).
The political news contributor said the left-leaning network has treated her fellow 2020 Democratic candidates, including businessman Andrew Yang and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) unfairly, but he argued that with Gabbard it, “crosses a certain threshold.”
“Fundamentally they’re beholden to whatever the market incentives are and right now it’s within their market interests to depict Tulsi as an infiltrator, as a Trojan horse in the Democratic Party and not deal on the substance with what she’s saying which is why over and over again they tar her as a Russian plant essentially.”

Professional journalists are losing touch with the moral code that once galvanized the profession, a new study shows. But what truth-slinger wouldn’t be having an existential crisis in an industry where facts no longer matter? …
Punishing good work while reporting bad has drained journalism not just of morality but credibility. While some might be tempted to blame the industry’s fall from ethical grace on President Donald Trump’s voluble scorn for the press as the “enemy of the people,” the disintegration of the profession’s moral center has been underway for years. The constant “disruption” of the journalism industry over just the last 13 years saw online media kill off newspapers, the 24-hour news cycle take over TV, and ad sales vanish, sucked up by the Google-Facebook industrial complex.
To survive this shifting landscape, as the morality study explains, journalists have had to adapt, leaving their identities in flux. A well-developed sense of professional ethics can be a liability in a newsroom where writers are pressured to deliver clicks by any means necessary. In upside-down-world “news” where speed, novelty and ideological fealty are more important than truth, morality all but disqualifies one to be a journalist.https://www.rt.com/op-ed/474033-journalists-moral-compass-fake-news/Except that’s not the reason: reporters like Tim Pool and others can raise millions without too much trouble. Clearly there’s a market for actual news, and Fox, for instance, makes money by leaning Right; Right-leaning YouTube is exploding in popularity: there’s mega-money there too. So all these journalists, these supposed grifters-for-hire refuse to click what WOULD make them money while HuffPo closes and their industry literally dies? No, they are political agitators and religous zealots, as has been said for almost 200 years now, Socialism, but also it’s brothers Humanism, Atheism, Secular-Materialism, are essentially a replacement religion, for humans must have a god. God as the State. But no one wants you hear your personal religious evangelizing in a news article. Give us the facts.
As for this mythical “Journalism”, I turn you to the Pulitzer Prize, where Mr. Pulitzer said of lying to trick the U.S. into an unjust war of empire and aggression “Give me the photos and I’ll give you the war.” “Remember the Maine!” (Plymouth Rock, and the Golden Rule!) He delivered.
In a college journalism lecture from the 80’s, a professor ALREADY lamented that he’d been driven out by the “What’s right is to print the news that gets the POLITICAL results I want” crowd, and such lying was already enshrined as good journalism in the textbooks years before 1990 and CNN. That and that the AP wire in the late 80s had no standards, anybody with a buck could tap in, PR firms, The Pentagon, and post any news article they wanted as literal, published “fact.” That wasn’t the bad part. The bad part was the stories were below 6th-grade level and you couldn’t tell, without calling the source and asking all over again (which they did back then), “What the heck happened? In paragraph 4, who did what to whom? Do you mean he died or his car died? By ‘Him’ do you mean person A or person B?” and so on. Mostly they didn’t call, or you assumed incorrectly with the best intentions. Oh, and there was already a lack or failing of whiskey-swilling hard-boiled copy editors that would smack you silly if you tried to print that garbage.
That was 30 years ago, and I THINK perhaps things have gotten less accurate since then. So there was no “Golden Age.” It was the golden age of us starting illegal wars because everyone incorrectly thought having no morals but to get your way was the Highest Good™, that the other guy was doing his job, and so believed the most astounding nonsense, even after reading the Church Report among many other scandals, like when Dateline? 60 Minutes? put explosives into that car to make sure the gas tanks blew up? When CNN was caught on the Green Screen in Iraq I? When Rockefeller went before a room of NY journalists and said, “I’d like to thank you for covering for us, we couldn’t’ve done it without you”? Nope, no clues were had.
It was never true. So look out for all the embedded knowledge you’ve inherited before 2010, every New York Times, Reader’s Digest, Newsweek, the textbooks you read since 1964, all total bulls–t. Yet that is how the structure of our mind were created to integrate the information we are receiving today. No wonder we’re going insane. The answer is super-simple: They’re LYING to you. Say it again until you finally believe it.
