    The “Don-Roe Doctrine” Has Already Set The Tone For 2026

    Trump is now Pimp Daddy of the Western Hemisphere

    After killing dozens of Cuban officers kidnapping the elected head of another country, Pimp Daddy wants to attack Iran because HIS Pimp Daddy Bibi ordered him to do so.

    The Don Trump is nothing if not Israel First!

    “Trump reiterated tough threats directed at Tehran leaders. He told reporters aboard Air Force One that Iran will get “hit very hard” by the United States if further protesters were killed.”

    What a Co-inky dink!

    BREAKING: UNITED STATES SEIZES VENEZUELA’S $1 TRILLION IN PRECIOUS METALS

    Less than 24 hours after the invasion of Venezuela, the US government quietly secured a MASSIVE smelter deal to process Venezuela’s $1 TRILLION worth of precious metals.

    Cost of the new facility? $8 Billion.

    The Financier? J.P. Morgan…

    Connect the Dots:
    1. J.P. Morgan is underwater on massive physical silver short position.
    2. Venezuela sits on the “Arco Minero” (Trillions in unmined gold/silver).
    3. The US Military removes the one guy standing in the way of the mines.

    Coincidence?

    This wasn’t a drug bust. It was a Hostile Takeover of a sovereign nation’s resource sheet.

    They built the smelter facility before they even invaded. They knew…

    Make it legal.
    Venezuela’s oil storage is nearly full — with an estimated 25 million barrels of crude and residual fuel stuck in tanks and floating storage — but U.S. sanctions and a blockade mean American oil companies cannot legally take or ship this oil to the United States.

    To this day most Ah…mericans are thick as a brick about the “Cuban Missile Crisis”

    JFK got fucked by his own CIA=MIC Maggots said said he was going to “scatter the CIA to the four winds” after this clusterfuck.

    Too bad they whacked him first

    The U.S. placing Jupiter nuclear missiles in Turkey in 1961 was a significant contributing factor to the Soviet Union’s decision to place its own missiles in Cuba, and their removal was part of the secret agreement that resolved the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    The sequence of events was as follows:

    U.S. Missiles in Turkey:

    The United States deployed nuclear-armed Jupiter missiles to Turkey and Italy in 1961, which were capable of striking Moscow and other Soviet cities with little warning time. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev viewed this as a direct and existential threat to the Soviet Union.

    Soviet Response in Cuba:

    In response to the U.S. missiles in Turkey and the failed U.S. Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, Khrushchev decided to place Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba in mid-1962 to create a balance of deterrence and protect the Castro regime. He wanted to give the U.S. “a little of their own medicine”.

    The Crisis and Resolution:

    When U.S. intelligence discovered the Soviet missile sites in October 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis erupted. The confrontation was eventually resolved through a public agreement in which the Soviets would remove their missiles from Cuba in exchange for a U.S. public pledge not to invade Cuba.

    Secret Deal:

    A crucial, secret part of the agreement was that the U.S. would also quietly remove its Jupiter nuclear missiles from Turkey (and Italy) within a few months. This part of the deal was kept secret from the public and even some high-ranking U.S. officials for decades to avoid political fallout and maintain a strong public image for President Kennedy.

    So, while multiple factors contributed to the crisis, the U.S. missiles in Turkey were a primary motivation for the Soviet’s actions in Cuba.

    What do any of you guys suppose are the odds that in an operation that was confrontationally violent enough to have killed between 40 and 80 Cuban and Venezuelan soldiers and civilians that there were zero U.S. causalities?

    And how does the US justify the “arrest” of an officially “innocent until proven guilty” suspect that was PRECEDED by the surprise-attack with lethal weapons causing multiple deaths? That would be like aerial bombing a bank (and everyone in it) to stop the suspected robbers before they were able to rob it.

    So what happens if the New York Jury finds Maduro innocent of the drug charges? Does that bring the 80 dead people back to life, or does it turn their killing into premeditated first degree extrajudicial homicide?

    From Tina Brown’s Substack:

    Maduro vs. the Donroe Doctrine

    “The “Don-roe” Doctrine: chin-jutting hubris, flailing testosterone, and greed, greed, greed.

    America has the right to intervene, assault, abduct any government it doesn’t like in the Western Hemisphere and plunder the spoils.

    At least now we can forget about the last few months of fentanyl feint, when the U.S. military kept blowing up fishing boats allegedly loaded with Venezuelan narcotics.

    Trump said the quiet part out loud in his Saturday press conference: [It’s ALL mine mine mine!!!!]

    “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, and that wealth is going to the people of Venezuela and people from outside of Venezuela that used to be in Venezuela, and it goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused by that country.”

    I.e., it’s all a big fat gracias to the oil and gas companies that donated nearly $500 million dollars to get Trump reelected and who have already been rewarded with billions in tax breaks and neutered environmental rules.”

    The “Don-Roe” Doctrine is based on bribing the corrupt Latin and South American ‘government and military officials’ into betraying their countries instead of invading with troops.

    Since the stereotype of corrupt Latin and South American officials seems to be as true as ever, that’s the new “Don-Roe” Doctrine from here on out.

    Except that’s exactly what the earlier days in Vietnam looked liked starting in 1955

    Same playbook

    “In the mid-1950s, South Vietnam was led by President Ngô Đình Diệm, who took power in 1955 after deposing Emperor Bảo Đại, establishing an authoritarian regime with strong U.S. support heavily criticized for corruption and nepotism.”

    Maduro’s ‘replacement’ by Pimp Daddy Don will be the South American equivalent of Diệm.

    Trump has no ‘strategy’, no game, just theft and greasing the palms of oil, mining and banking oligarchs.

    The USSA public won’t see a penny, they are not at the High Table

    TRENDS…

    ‘The Trillionaire Club’ – After the fabricated Covid virtual pandemic, we witnessed the billionaire class take advantage of that crisis in order grow the wealth gap exponentially. The next step is to establish a new ‘trillionaire’ class—which experts predict will happen in the next 5 years. Two charter members will be tech oligarchs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Larry Ellison. Club membership is based on extreme wealth concentration, monopolistic power, inherited fortunes (over 36% of present billionaire wealth), cronyism, and tax avoidance, private islands, private armies, whilst creating an immense, unelected global influence operation to promulgate themselves—all of which ultimately destabilizes the economic system and exacerbates poverty on a scale never seen before in human history. These trillionaires will also be buying governments and pushing for a digital technocracy.

    Ozemic epidemic – 2025 saw the parabolic rise of anti-obesity pharmaceutical drugs like Ozempic which mimic GLP-1 satiation signals in the body. However, it classic American style, people are being price-gouged by Big Pharma and the USA’s predatory insurance industry, leaving many people unable to afford their over-priced, high-tech “slimming tablets”. Another typically modern American problem: which some are getting skinny on Ozempic, they are still eating junk and processed food, and consuming sugar, carbs, and alcohol, along with gallons high fructose corn syrup in Sprite and Coca Cola. They are simply displacing and relocating an underlying problem of the modern American diet.

    I can find no “Ventura Village Daycare” in Hennepin county. The closest thing the ad’s “map” indicates is a “Somali Youth and Family Center”, which gives an address of 2400 Park Ave., which means it is actually located in a Lutheran Social Services center (no daycares listed at this large complex.)

    Which brings us to 2023 and “mutiny” by criminal Prigozhin, his Wagner and media empire he built on lies and whose supporters are still around. This is US Army MO in “operations”: 2-3 weeks of hurling whatever the US can muster in terms of stand-off weapons at usually third world “opponents”, then fifth column curated by CIA and CIA paras, does the mutiny thing and voila’–the regime changed. Well, they tried to do so with Prigozhin and his Wagner, thinking that NATO “counter-offensive” will do the trick. Poor, poor kids from CIA and Pentagon, with their level of warfare “knowledge” they failed to reach even the first line of Russian defense, killed 200,000 of VSU and failed miserably, while their “fifth column” has been exposed. Not all of it–some still hide behind Russian Constitution and much greater freedom of speech than in increasingly totalitarian Europe. But the situation with Venezuela is … helpful–in a sense of removing any illusions about capacity of Latin and Central America of getting out from under the US influence, reason being that building powerful, independent nations requires a removal of old “elites”, often as a result of violent revolutions and brutal purging in order of the removal of opposition on the way to massive industrial expansion, with all that it entails. Exhibits A of that are Russia and China. To a certain degree–Iran, but it requires help. India too, but she has to overcome a number of serious issues, related also to being a main jewel in British Crown. So, is kidnapping of Maduro a crime? Hell, yes! But in a long run, it is a net positive for a world which was fooled for far too long with the idea that somehow “international law” can exist on its own. It cannot–laws of history and of human nature cannot be altered without CAPABILITY to do so. And that means, in the medium to long run that what is known as the Global South faces the choice, yes, if they choose the Dark Side or if they decide to stand up and fight. Will know soon enough.

    Let it begin. Saying we should impeach the President directly with meaningful action means I’m an apologist and puppet who also never said that.

    One thing’s for sure: should Reality ever exist, everyone will just ignore it all and carry on unaffected. Shouldn’t bother with your online reputation, everyone will just make it up for you, randomly, out of whole cloth.

    Of course we now have to put up with this crap from the other side too:
    “Trump’s snatching of Maduro shows a new level of unrestrained global power Expressions of unbridled power don’t come blunter than abducting a sitting president from his capital in the dead of night. CNN

    Really? So after Noriega A LIFETIME AGO, then Saddam, and “We Came, We Saw, He Died” and Obama striking US children on coffee shops, NOW this “A new level”?

    Every hear of “Milosevic”? Yeah, 25 years ago, and not even close to our first, with 100 democratic leaders overthrown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overthrow_of_Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87

    I was against that one too. It’s an international embarrassment all these same crew loved and adored and thought was perfectly legal.

    “For a year leading up to the elections, the United States-funded consultants played a crucial role in the anti-Milošević campaign….Material was channeled by the U.S. Department of State through QUANGOs.[8][9][10] In the months leading up to the election, the National Endowment for Democracy provided funding to opposition parties and media, unions and student groups,…Madeleine Albright said at a June 2000 meeting in Berlin that she wanted to see Milošević removed from power.[44] Milošević was personal for Madeleine Albright, a very high priority.” – Wiki

    Soooo…nuttin’ like this ever-ever happened before. Totally unprecedented Escalation, OMB. Only to goldfish and squirrels. French pearl-clutching begins.

    “FACT FOCUS: Trump repeats false claims as he discusses US raid” AP

    Really AP? No human alive can remember a time you haven’t had to sneak-edit and retract your articles. But you’re the authority on “False Claims”. Right. I remember when you said “I was wiretapped” was a false claim. Meuller is coming. Trump was using Morse code on servers to Russia. Skripals.

    “40% Of All Babies Born In Vienna Do Not Have An Austrian Passport

    Well thank God for free nationalized health care then.

    We see this in Somali, Minnesota. So…why do we have an IRS? $9 Billion perhaps was got in fraud, and there were ZERO IRS flags or suspicions? This is after hundreds and decades more, like the Clinton Foundation. And no one knewd? Uh, no. Now that they’re looking, EVERYONE reported it. It was reported back 10+ years there. In the MN nightly news. And the people who voted against it, ie, Medicare for Illegal Somalis, got shot on their own from porch. Bc if you shut off their Medicare fraud, the entire DNC of Minnesota collapses. One for the cash, yes, but without the cash, they all get investigated. And have committed a $9B robbery, so there’s a lot of motivation.

    My point being, the IRS is auditing Joe’s Car Shop in Passamoquadi, because they can’t see $9 Billion appearing on a ledger, with 100 child cares opening same legal date, each taking a million dollars? And then the IRS, DoJ, State Level all exist to PROTECT the fraud. Government exists to PROTECT crime.

    Okay, next level, well, I mean, it’s all on the books: if they get Medicaid, pay taxes, donate to Act Blue, it’s all just normal action on the books, right? Uh, no. There are State DayCare inspectors. That’s right. So they go in, make sure there are staff, not prison conditions, all that good stuff, like Health/Food inspectors. That’s why they’re “Licensed” as Daycares: very Progressive! And so that crew – and every child in all Minnesota was signed up on the take – that ENORMOUS staff because there were maybe 3,000 facilities, went in, saw every daycare was empty, no child had ever passed through the doors, and nothing happened. Just like the IRS.

    Well at least those kids weren’t being abused! No, we the taxpayers were. We were the ones being raped.

    “State regulators confirmed that all but two of the centers had active licenses and had been inspected within the past six months, with no recorded evidence of fraud,

    Alright, I’ll take you at your word. So if any of them were frauds, you’re an accessory to felony, right?

    And we’re not talking about the 100,000 children signed up for autistic therapy, who were all seen by licensed, certified AMA doctors. Meanwhile doctors who were somewhat reluctant to vaccinate unneedfully and perhaps wanted to try HCQ as a safe experiment were fired out of Clinic or arrested. Make up kids who aren’t sick or don’t even exist: good, safe, medicine. Do no harm at all: Bad, illegal doctor.

    So much goes over the transom, and so much of it is all the same like this, same as yesterday, that we forget to put in all the details.

    If government weren’t handing our free money at one end they wouldn’t have to investigate and arrest themselves at the other. …Which they don’t. So: Small, limited government. If it were small-time cons, between two private grifters, the government, police would be elated to investigate and prosecute it. You could even argue it’s the same fraud level, (it isn’t, only the government can print and lose $9B) but at least in a small-government state you can refer it to someone.

    May or may not be true, but is very funny.

    “Trump is a Dangerous Rogue (CLIP)- Paul Craig Roberts and Gary Heavin” Michael Farris (Coffee and a Mike)•2.2K views•12 hours ago

    Trump is unprecedented, a dangerous rogue because he did what all other Presidents did. “Rogue” means you are different. Pick one. I’m not saying this should have happened, I’m saying everyone’s logic makes no sense.

    “Venezuela is no longer a free state!” Venezuela NEVER WAS a free state. They were controlled by China, the CIA, cartels, or whoever. All we’ve changed is WHICH puppeter they are working for. Apparently everyone prefers China, the Derp State, and the Drug Cartels. Same with Ukraine: “Ukraine was invaded!” No, Ukraine was invaded and overthrown in 2014. By Us. Now we’re deciding WHICH major power will rule them: Russia, or “The West”. They had no sovereignty to begin with and perhaps never have.

    All that matters is What Happens. Like, is life better for the people under A’s mafia or B’s mafia. Those are your only choices, barring a lifetime’s work you have no start on right now.

    “We are stealing the oil!!”

    That depends: WHO is getting the revenue? Venezuelans who have fled here are overjoyed because their country – you know their HOME, the one they have a passport for? — had all this oil but because they kept stealing the maintenance to buy off the people (and themselves) none of that oil was flowing. To Venezuela, China, or anyone. What good is it to “The People” of a “Socialist State” (they’re not one, obviously), to have all that wealth if no one can use it? If Exxon drills the pipelines, moves the oil and only takes a percentage, then is that not what the Venezuelans themselves would do? I mean, no one can move oil for nothing, so SOMEONE gets paid in any case, even domestically. But Ven chased out every engineer decades ago, so they don’t have the tools they need unless you want to wait 20 more years. Their oil is down 80%? GDP down 60%?

    So here’s a question, regardless of the outside factors: Do you want that oil or don’t you? Do you want that “tax” revenue or don’t you? And “You” is again the People here. If it’s taken by Exxon, that’s bad. Yeah, well if it’s just taken by Maduro that’s bad too! Nothing is fixed picking between them. It’s only if the wealth is moving to the People that it matters for anyone.

    Trump is saying we can get the oil. Okay, fine. And? And that’s the part he needs to show me and everyone, especially as I consider most of the actions so far – including sanctions going back decades – to be illegal.

    Suppose we do. Then what? Suppose we go in, pump the oil and Exxon gets a minimum, a 5%. Then what?

    Well then they can’t be there without security for it, they need assurances they don’t just buy it, build it, move it, and Venezuela just steals all their work again the minute it’s operational. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. And why Trump says “It’s ours”. They broke contract, and the contract says if you break it we get compensation. And Venezuela stole not just from Exxon, they robbed the Venezuelan people too. Oh so we send an army? Or have one reliably on call? Sir?

    …Yeah, and if we DON’T, then NO ONE gets any oil, INCLUDING the Venezuelan people, understand? Back to question one: Do you want the oil or don’t you? IF you want it, these are the engineering requirements. That’s a negotiation with God, with reality itself, you don’t get to have ponies and rainbows. WHAT do you want, and WHAT are you willing to agree to to have it?

    If you want any oil pumped, to China, to buy plastic junk China makes for Amazon, THEN they need billions of dollars and huge long-term security assurances. OR you can be like Germany and live in caves in the dark.

    The rest is contract fine print, and that matters. A lot! A 5% or 50% take matters a lot! But we’re still only negotiating terms at that point. In the big sense it’s only: is this what we need? and IF we need it, how do I get everyone to sit down and get it done.

    Since I’m the sort of person who would prefer living in a cave – or under a bridge – no I don’t like it. Never have. But what I like LESS is people wanting it all done for them while they can deny it’s happening in their name and complain about having nice warm houses and infinity shopping all day. Pick one. Don’t clutch your pearls like a Karen and say “We can’t have nice things because then there’s a dishwasher behind the dumpster making minimum wage somewhere.” You want it or you don’t. This is what it takes.

    Pics

    “The Kremlin has already blasted the blatant ‘double standard’ – given Washington has spent years berating Moscow for the Ukraine ‘special military operation – yet now effortlessly invades a country in its own backyard.”

    Here’s why words have meaning. Why words matter. We didn’t “Invade” the country. Not in any normal use of that term. We also aren’t “Occupying” or “Running” it. Immediately everyone, PCR, etc say we have a million men in heir jungles today, which is what I’ve been saying for weeks. No we don’t. And we won’t.

    Is this legal? They say yes under very longstanding U.S. precedent, I say no. So that’s a problem as well. But it’s not a military battle and it’s not an invasion. It’s also not an overthrow, the same government is there, under their VP. The government who SOLD HIM OUT. We ONLY landed, were there 6 minutes, no resistance? No way. In that case the whole staff and whole army were stand-down. It’s not us at all, it’s merely “American Airlines”, passenger class. Now Those things MIGHT happen, and I believe he does intend to alter Venezuela’s governance in some way which is none of our business. But that just leads back to power-politics. It’s none of our business, so CHINA can set up shop and make it THEIR business instead? And that’s okay when they do it but not us? Etc.? Uh-huh.

    We’ve also ALREADY attacked and invaded Iran AGAIN, and have a million men on the ground there, which is weird since don’t we have a million men in the jungles of Venezuela, so wouldn’t we be very busy? Nope. The last Iran attack never happened now. We’re going to – nay, ALREADY land-invaded there. Sigh. What’s ACTUALLY happened? They’re losing and out of time, so They (who is “they’?) are activating every remaining asset in Iran with protests there, hoping to make “something” happen. That’s it. No we did not land-invade Tehran, we have no men in theatre, we have no ships to send them, it would take a year, and we actually didn’t bomb Iran last time either, which was only a month ago, Goldfish. Reality = I made some stuff up that I could chimp out about.

    Next thing that comes up on all the podcasts is “Monroe Doctrine”. They keep saying “Well the Monroe Doctrine is old and it says we can do A B C.” No. The Monroe Doctrine was not passed as an article of International Law, signed by King George and the Kaiser. It means NOTHING. THERE IS NO LAW. In that sense, there is no Monroe Doctrine. It’s an INTENT. It’s an APPROACH.

    It doesn’t ALLOW you to do anything at all. AND – even so – it’s CLEARLY been badly misused for at LEAST 100 years, so it’s embarrassing to cite in the first place. These are the same people against this action, anti-involvement, then a minute later cite the Monroe as a legitimate baseline.

    Again, here’s what it says: “Hey guys (Lookin’ at you, Europe) quit trying to set up bases of operation in the Western Hemisphere to topple and re-colonize the United States. (Aaron Burr, London viz Florida) We are going to stop that, OBVIOUSLY, as a long-term policy approach. You lay off here, and we won’t get involved in your stupid wars over THERE, by backing Sardinia or something. Capisce?”

    Now a bunch of those parts ARE operational: other nations are constantly setting up bases to attack the U.S., as did the USSR, famously in Cuba for example. Right now China is doing that in Ven, and possibly Europe is involved all over. Right. So yes, we’re using it.

    Problem: AGAINST the Monroe Doctrine, we have long since been meddling EVERYWHERE in their backyards. That’s Quid Pro Quo, and we haven’t held up our end since the Spanish-American war. So No. You don’t get to say We can meddle and they can’t.

    Third, Trump IS trying to remove troops home and not meddle, which would – might – re-establish this part of Monroe under it’s fair and proper form. But that hasn’t happened and the Next Guy, RINO or Dem, will reverse it with bombs.

    Four, NOBODY is allowed to control and topple governments in South America, which BOTH we and other nations are doing constantly. And always have. (Both of us. That’s why Guyana is called BRITISH Guyana, and DUTCH Guiana, etc.)

    They’re referring to something Monroe is not. And then Monroe (almost) never operated the way James Monroe declared it in the first place. Then acting like it has any rules-bound reality, which it doesn’t.

    Five, NONE of these international laws are rules bound. “The UN says”, yes, and “The UN” does whatever the U.S. tells and pays it to do, as Russia complains constantly, and how many tank divisions does the UN have? So it’s neither a real body anyone recognizes AND there is no enforcement at all, which means THERE IS NO LAW. It’s the law of POWER. That’s why only big guys, China, Russia (London) and us, they go trample international law with POWER – In Ukraine – and say “Make Me.” The end. It’s always been this way, as the great quote “The Strong do what they will, and the small suffer what they must” which was like 200BC. It was also a complaint about that issue, not a Machiavellan edict as is often portrayed.

    So IF China, London, etc, look to topple the U.S. by drug-running, money-laundering, organizational, smuggling HQ there, then claim like Switzerland “But WE don’t run the drugs HERE. …We just LIVE here and run the drugs from the corporate office and factory floor in Columbia, Mexico, etc.” Sure pal. So you just want a safe zone, call “Sanctuary” and we’re supposed to be hands off while you run your Mob operation from the St. Mary’s Church office? And St. Mary’s Father knows it’s all going on there and brings you calamari? No. We’re not idiots, you know.

    That’s what’s happening in Venezuela right now, my read. But it’s really complicated, subtle, and hidden, and very hard to unwind.

    Your 1-Dimensional, legal view is: “It’s okay if the whole rest of the world works up infinity armies on our border, sends waves of armies north, takes all the national wealth, turns it into hypersonic missiles and biolabs, because we play by Queensbury Rules and can’t lay a hand on them if they cheat, I guess we lose then.” No.

    And this is what JB kept saying. Oh so NOW you care about law, constitution, “being mean” n’ stuff. No. At some point you do to them what they do to you. And when Alinsky says “That’s mean, you’re a racist antisemite” you say, “Couldn’t care less. So what if I am? I’m going to stop YOU though.” Like Fuentes. We move BACK from Female, fake, lying, appealing-to-your better-nature rules, and back to MALE, “I’m-not-taking-s—t”, Why-don’t-you-make-me, your crying and whining is funny to me, let’s have a punching contest” Rules.

    And once you go “Male” on that, you win. The End. Their side wins if they appeal to our better nature, and we let them. Where WE follow all the laws with honor and they don’t. Nope. Not an idiot either, as I said. And it really pisses me off that you make me have to not become the monsters we fight. Don’t like that at all. Therefore, we crush you utterly and deal with it on the other side. Oh is that mean of me now? Don’t care.

    What did FDR say? “We didn’t fight this damn war just to hand it all back to you, Winston.” A few months later FDR was dead.

    “BREAKING: UNITED STATES SEIZES VENEZUELA’S $1 TRILLION IN PRECIOUS METALS

    Now THERE is a thing that is not just words. What does it mean though? And HOW? The 3rd army is in Caracas and walked into America National Bank?

    “They built the smelter facility before they even invaded. They knew”

    Are you high? Because I need your supply. Look: prices have risen since 2001. Two-Thousand ONE. They doubled this year. You think they weren’t going to recognize the need for a smelter, as there are none, all shut down, years ago, Venezuela or not? Cmon. The real story is why did they NOT think they needed one in 2005, 2010, 2020, when this was obviously the case?

    (A: Because “they” still thought they would have Western/Banking control, and are not going to a fair, non-Empire BRIICS gold standard. The smelter means they’ve conceded. And suppose you say this indicates Empire. Okay, well the empire will still end, but be eroded instead of rejected. Do I care either way?)

    So disgusted, didn’t think I could write that much. Your loss, I guess.

    Homo neanderthalensis

    Neanderthals were around for a very long time.

    Evolving about 400,000 years ago in Europe and Asia and disappearing around 40,000 years ago, meaning they thrived as a distinct group for roughly 350,000 to 360,000 years……

    BEFORE modern humans (Homo sapiens)

    Under Homo neanderthalensisNO EMPIRES

    Gee, I wonder why?

    Only modern humans (Homo sapiens) brought Empires, kingdoms, nation states into existence.

    Homo neanderthalensis thrived for 350,000 years – No Empires.

    They didn’t Fuckup the ecology of the planet with strip mines or clear cutting entire continents of their forests.

    The entire Italian Peninsula up to the time of the Etruscans was so heavily forested the ancient Greeks thought of it as the Black Forest it was so dense and dark.

    Fucking Romans chopped it down in a couple centuries.

    The Neanderthals didn’t.

    Homo sapien sapien did.

    The ‘wise’ ape that thought so much of itself it named itself ‘wise’ TWICE out of megalomaniacal hubris and narcissistic conceit.

    Homo sapien sapien suck, in the evolution of human species they have brought the planet to the brink.

    Homo sapien sapien have spin off a cancerous syphilitic offshoot called: Homo globilous satanicus

    Homo globilous satanicus will push us over the brink primarily with advanced weaponized AI in the hands of globohomo gangsters.

    Murmurs of killer micro drones filled with poison and explosives hunting down the ‘useless eaters’.

    Look at the battlefield drone videos of individual soldier being methodically hunted down and blown to bits in front of the camera.

    Imagine that process being automated with AI data centers operating from orbit.

    Pretty hard for the peasants to storm the castle with pitch forks and hammers to smash The Machine.

    Gangsterism and Homo sapien sapian are joined at the hip like Siamese Twin.

    And now it’s Globohomo gangsterisum covering the planet with it’s Funk.

    Good luck on smashing the Machine
