    Two Paul Craig Roberts articles on the same post. Ole Paul is a great confidence builder.

    dedicated to exceptional and irreplaceable
    The Way We Were
    Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Marvin Hamlisch

    Memories
    Light the corners of my mind
    Misty watercolor memories
    Of the way we were

    Scattered pictures
    Of the smiles we left behind
    Smiles we gave to one another
    For the way we were

    Can it be that it was all so simple then?
    Or has time re-written every line?
    If we had the chance to do it all again
    Tell me, would we?
    Could we?

    Memories
    May be beautiful and yet
    What’s too painful to remember
    We simply to choose to forget

    So it’s the laughter
    We will remember
    Whenever we remember
    The way we were
    The way we were

      Pavel Durov – Freedom To Play Fool, Stock Speculator, Fraudster (Helmer)

    Is Helmer right?
    What do I mean?
    The opposite of wrong perhaps?
    Could Helmer be foisting satire on his readership?

    I understood Pavlov Durov, or whatever the f*ck his and JD Hamel’s names are today, was boybrainbillionaire arch-advocate of Free Speech and Freedom of International Travel, but Helmers is telling us Durov is now feigning ignorance of finance law while practicing pyramid scheme fraud. Well, at least Helmer suggests bigbrain Lavrov threw the cloak of stupidity Pavel’s way like an iron life preserver…maybe

    Seems like that feigning of ignorance is spreading like, well. COVID.

    Another ode to D and Durov and my favorite song of all time, The Main Ingredient

      Everybody plays the fool sometime
      There’s no exception to the rule
      Listen, baby
      It may be factual, may be cruel
      I ain’t lying
      Everybody plays the fool

    “A Trump Victory Means”

    Well that’s odd because he didn’t do any of that stuff last time. Time exists. Explain?

    Again, TRUMP isn’t going to fix anything. He’s a jackass. WE are.

    Leah Hoopes. “Closed investigations without talking to anyone. Then started a case against all the people who presented allegations.”

    Yup, sounds about right. Every day of every year. See the problem? EVERY DA, every prosecution, every Judge, at every level, Town, County, State, Federal, ALL act like this, in collection with each other. Sooo….your plan is to fire literally everyone and have no government at all? Or no “competent” one, that knows what it’s doing, but you know what I mean. They are technically minimum competent but corrupt and evil as hell. If you know any honest lawyers ask them. Ask them about the other lawyers and state of law in their county, the odds of getting a fair trial, which aren’t zero but are 10:1 against? If the Governor calls it’s 1,000:1 against?

    Yeah, for decades, lifetimes. You tell me how to un-f—k this. Maybe with morality at OUR level, not theirs?

    “most of the agents at the Trump rally the day of the assassination attempt were Homeland Security”

    What Assassination? Yes, they were air-dropped in that day only, all the guys who used to shoot with Crookes on the range. But I am a coincidence theorist and that is not suspicious at all.

    “VIVEK: THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE GOVERNMENT AREN’T THE PEOPLE WE ELECTED”

    Always glad to have amazing speakers like Vivek around, even if I don’t trust him. Just heard this with nuclear war: they said, “Oh yeah, we don’t make those decisions about updated China nuclear policy, etc, the executive council (sorry I forget) does.” What? WTF are they? They’re like the 7th floor Trump cleared out. They’re the overseers salted into the process who mostly do nothing but can ruin and overrule everyone… soooooooo….they’re Communist Party members, you know like the Soviet Union, where a representative from “The Party” was on every ship and in every base. Yes. Like that. But I am a coincidence theorist and that is not suspicious at all, it means nothing, and the similarities are all completly accidental.

    THOSE GUYS, this tiny club, who used other club members to appoint and install themselves, are running things. Soooo…a Secret Cabal, then, by actual definition? Yes. And an Evil Secret Cabal, accountable to no one, by their actions. Right.

    No! What? But if that were true then when Trump gave direct orders to end the war they would just ignore him! IF that were true, when Trump got into office, they would just counter, undermine, and remove him! Then use their own internal Party members of the Secret Club to defend each other and in fact pay their members inconveniences, $2 Million dollars in Federal money! Yes. They did, they did, and they did. And they’re still there, their enemies are gone. Sleep Tight!

    Nordstream: Trump’s been campaigning too long now (8 years) and where he has to imply things while dumbing them down. This leads to seat-of-the-pants thinking that ends up here, so off the mark we say “WTF are you talking about?” I know I do. This is different from his former dumbed down statements, “Sad. Very sad.” I wouldn’t worry about it but it shows Trump isn’t going to save us. We are. Or else it won’t happen.

    If not, why would you even deserve to be saved?

    “Will they try to lock him up for a year, 6 weeks before the election?
    • Tyranny Is Closer Than You Realize (Paul Craig Roberts)

    This is very interesting as I don’t know and neither does my attention move to it at all, I don’t care/it no longer matters. WHY it no longer matters, I don’t know. Because what “He” set in motion is far larger and moving behind him? You can never have a war where it depends on one man. That’s not a war and you’d lose. It always has to be a movement where no matter who you shoot, it just carries on.

    But here we are talking about the election again. And not WWIII of NATO’s land invasion of Russia to blow up their nuclear power plant. And the subsequent LOSING there, and Lavrov specifically saying “You will pay for this.”

    But today’s argument is, “I don’t like Scott Ritter. Therefore Nuclear war is impossible.” That’s it boys! We’re all saved!

    Carry on with this Punch and Judy Puppet show where neither candidate will be around at voting day year.

    Voting year? Yeah someone popped up with this: Voting is public record, they make sure, so as the day goes on, any names not voted in the book, you go get an empty ballot, walk in, pretend you’re them with no ID, and vote on their behalf to make sure they’re “Doin’ it right.” Yup! Most perfect election ever!

    “Tenet Media, received nearly $10 million from employees of Russian state-backed media company, Russia Today (RT), [to] create and distribute content to U.S. audiences

    Um, yeah that’s what “Media Companies” do? Red Scare! McCarthy! RussiaRussiaRussia!! What did Mueller find out the last time they tried this, where one private company bought some ads? Oh yeah, he didn’t show up in court and abandoned the case in shame and infamy. Nope! Never happened! That’s the Past so it doesn’t exist yet.

    Meanwhile ACTUAL CHINESE SPIES are in Swawell’s office for years, and Feintein’s, and Hunter plays golf with the Chinese CIA head, and nothing. Riiiight. Okay which case seems more like the person involved knew about it?

    “• Biden To Take ‘Law Enforcement Action’ Against RT – CNN (RT)

    They’re going to take law enforcement action, but haven’t actually discovered the crime yet. Because they didn’t name it, which means they don’t know. Riiiiight. Doesn’t law enforcement usually start with a Crime, and not a person-we-don’t-like? Not any more! That’s the old tired, white male neanderthal way. We’re Progressing to the Stahrs.

    “Democrats like Biden have accused Russia of interfering in the last two presidential elections. During the 2016 and 2020 campaigns,”

    In that case, we need to remove the President elected in 2020 to be sure, and have a re-election with Photo IDs. Right?

    Actually the real crime is being a news agency of any other country. We can’t tolerate any alternative views, nor suffer that “Other nations” actually think they are independent and exist. RT gets the press, but it was no different from the Biden administration telling all the African reporters to get to the back of the bus. For years. Stay classy!

    “Harris-Walz: The Ticket Of COVID Tyranny (Rich)

    Again, this is America. Can’t we talk about a country that actually matters? That anyone gives a s–t about?

    Germany got monkey-hammered in the elections, and more convoluted French-style lockouts (That Macron my be impeached for) are the only sliver holding back the AfD. More, because of peculiar German setup – possibly invented that way, but certainly discovered and capitalized on for decades – the Green Party which was a sliver minority was RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT in effect out of this same area. Okay, so? So 1) Note that the WEF/CIA or whoever was running them as agent proxies – ‘cause they sure weren’t Green!!! — is now out of power, they don’t have that tool of useful idiots to ring-nose Germany. 2) the Obvious, the minute AfD collects themselves, they will do to Germany what the Greens did, and run it, and they’re not even an minority.

    So…AfD turns the EU effectively “Republican” in translation, because they SURE aren’t “Far-Right” (they would probably be Democrats and Center-Left here, their platform is not “far” anything) the the Whole EU is then “Far Right” and their Soviet Socialist plan, of running the entire continent as an unaccountable Socialist (oligarchic) bureaucracy fails. …And their Bonds fail?

    Tell me why a nation with no economy, on a Continent with no economy infinity debt, and a world war, has rates at 1% again? Where a zillion-billion dollars leant to Ukraine was just written down to 13c on the dollar? A: ‘Coz “no free markets”. We just make s—t up.

    Since that’s all hinging over there, they keep the attention OFF the most important things, anyone noticing this entire continent has imploded, and literally nothing there makes sense. But Walz is a cad. News at 11. NOT that $20 TRILLION dollar is worthless and a 500 year old colonial culture has been cut off, ended, and collapsed.

    How can it be? These prices and sale for their bonds, are listed right here! On this London Stock Exchange! They wouldn’t lie to me!

    The scale is so large it’s like the rise of Islam, like multi-century scale in their collapse, almost I can’t pull back far enough to see it. They make the United States seem like placid, earnest accounting, and our culture seem like a Church picnic. Thus: no camera. “Never mind that man behind the curtain over there…!”

    Btw, Macron cut a deal to lock out the ACTUAL most powerful Party. LePen won all, so therefore she gets no seats! Just like England! Literally in Germany they were making news stories that “Just because Sahra won the election doesn’t mean she just gets power.” Ohhhhh! Right! In a democracy it’s whoever LOSES gets power. I just made that up just now! Backsies! Anyway, Macron, AFTER shutting out the popular vote THEN double crosses the antidemocratic double-crossers and REFUSES TO SEAT THEIR LEADER. Stopping the government. Which is why they’re moving to Impeach him, and have to. Yup. Sounds like a Democracy to me! When you win, we just cancel all “Peaceful transition of power” to anyone. For any reason. It’s the new “Zelensky Plan” and there’s no greater democracy than that.

    “Former US President Donald Trump will enter a not guilty plea to criminal charges in a revised indictment accusing him of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.”

    Four years later. For filing paperwork. Uh-huh. Anyway, Who? From what country? Why do I care?

    • Zelensky Vows To ‘Hold’ Occupied Russian Territory (RT)

    Who is this guy? Shouldn’t we be talking to the President of Ukraine or something? I don’t care what random citizens say or think. How can this guy think he’s President? He doesn’t even have a Cabinet or nothin’.

    “Moscow will eventually “deal with the Ukrainian bandits”

    They’ve killed 6,000, and all the armor, as unlike the men in the Forests of Maine, Russian aerial can see them. I would love to know what’s going on on the ground with a salient, though. Yes, they’re racing up roads and planting flags for the cameras, but is that really all? If not, wtf could it possibly be? They’re dropping in fresh men from Mars using a Stargate? I got nothing, and even the facts are shifty.

    Adding to that, even at 5:1, 10:1 kill ratio, RUSSIA HAS LOST 200,000 MEN. …That’s more than the U.S. lost in WWII, on a nation about the same size. You know, that we whine and cry and heroize about how we saved the whole planet? (I was the star Quarterback in High School! 1956!) …But I’m sure Russia ain’t mad or nothin’.

    “• ‘Looming Threat’ From Russia Sparks ‘Major Rethink’ Of EU Defense Policy

    I mean yes, but I was thinking more of their Defense CAPACITY. They have none, and still haven’t TRIED to open new factories, anywhere, 3 years in. Can ANY one tell me why? They say they’re attacking and invading Russia proper in 2030 or something, with a mandatory conscription everywhere. AND NO FACTORIES? What?

    I mean, I know your plan is to kill every white person on the continent, Greta’s been clear on that, but isn’t the OTHER part of the plan to WIN something?

    “Not even one value of Western civilization remains.” — PCR.

    Yes they do. They live in me. And all of us. Stop thinking “THEY” are going to save you. There is no “they”. There is YOU. YOU are going to save you. So get off your butt and stop whining like Eeyore. “We already lost. Why bother??” YOU…have not even been SHOT at yet. STFU and pull that plow.

    “How is protecting free speech “flying above the law?” What law is above the First Amendment?”

    “We Make S—t Up!” Well, there are Laws I like, and Laws I don’t like! So obviously we do the laws I personally like. That’s it. That’s the whole Leftist way. “I Am God.” …And yes, that’s what happens when there is nothing but laws in the first place, and we selectively enforce them since 1910. WHY would anyone even think there was a theory of law? That laws are made to be followed and not broken? “Law” is the mean girls’ table in school. That’s the best example they’ve gotten this far in life…because “Adults” like PCR made it that way in the Boomer Years. So now for four generations. And you expect him to know better why?

    So…What’s the deal with Gaza’s polio vaccination campaign?

    The deal is that the Jews and their supporters, Musk, Trump, RFK Jr and their supporters/excuse makers, Dr D, BentontheJew, want to get the credit for killing the Palestinians, they want the money, they don’t want their resources – the Palestinians – to die of natural causes. Musk is obviously financed by the Jews, so is Trump, so is RFK Jr. hence the “New Team” to MAGA? MAGA is really MIGA, get a brain and look at it rationally.

    Political Interference is only when it’s done to the US by RT

    ————

    Back in 2017, the Department of Justice forced RT America to register as a foreign agent, after a host of US intelligence agencies claimed that RT had helped to elect Trump by publishing “negative coverage” of Clinton and criticizing the US’ “corrupt political establishment.” RT America ceased operations in 2022 after the network was dropped by its US distributors in response to the Ukraine conflict.

    The Washington Post is delighted that free speech is to be regulated. In my opinion the entire rationale for the existence of the Washington Post is to control narratives for the CIA. As even insouciant Americans should know after enduring eight years of the system violating all ethics and all laws in its effort to deep-six Donald Trump, throughout the Western world law is nothing but a weapon to protect the lies fed to insouciant people as official narratives, the doubting of which is rapidly becoming a criminal action. In the name of official narratives, truth is being removed from the Western world. In my lifetime I have watched the transformation of the free Western world, a product of centuries of struggle, into a Gestapo Police State.

    Hey guys, remember about a week ago Mexico cut diplomatic ties with the US and Canada? ( I think “suspended” is the euphemism employed). The bullshit narrative is that the argument was over Canada and the United States objecting to Mexico’s judicial system and appointment of judges or something.

    Anyhow, I thought it was a super-big news event, with enormous potential repercussions, and yet no one seems to be talking about it at all. Like it never happened and had no consequences.

    What’s that all about, anyway? All that silence. Does it have anything to do with NAFTA and/or cessation of large scale trade with Mexico?

    As the general population of Earth we are confronted with a choice between THREE things, not two.

    It is not a simple choice between Good and Evil, because there is a THIRD choice. One can choose to BALANCE the two instead of going 100% all-in on either one or the other. Entire religions with billions of adherents ascribe to that basic strategy as being the only one possible in the real world.

    In a very real sense this is virtually identical to the classic problem in physics known as “The Three Body Problem”.

    The three-body problem in physics refers to the challenge of predicting the motion of three celestial bodies (like stars or planets) that are interacting with each other through gravity. Unlike the simpler two-body problem, where the motion can be precisely calculated, the three-body problem is notoriously difficult because the gravitational forces between the three bodies create complex and often chaotic trajectories. In essence, it’s about understanding how three objects will move over time under their mutual gravitational pull, and finding a general solution to this problem has proven to be impossible.

    Move that physics problem into the geopolitical/moral sphere and you get what we now have, a choice between a) Becoming Devils, b) Becoming Saints, or c) trying to strike a balance and living as God intended us to, in a harmonious world as He designed and intends. Not as devils or saints, but as humans. We can achieve that by living as the Creator has directed. Love others as you love yourself, and treat them as you would like them to treat you under the same circumstances. His gift to you is the myriad of miraculous things that He has provided to you absolutely free of charge. These include such inexplicable things as awareness of your own existence in a real world, and the agency of free will to cause effects in that real world and experience them.

    The only thing he requests (and it is a REQUEST that leaves the decision up to you) ) in return is your unalloyed acknowledgment of His benevolence, and humble reverence for His truth.

    Why would anyone turn down a deal that sweet? Although I must admit, it is not a task for the timid.

    The Threat To Mr. Global https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/the-threat-to-mr-global
    What if all the cattle simply won’t move?

    Testimony of Former Israeli PM Adds Urgency to Debate on Foreknowledge of October 7 Attack
    Yair Lapid stated before the Commission,
    “It is not true that the political system was not alerted to the October 7 disaster. For months the Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) and Cabinet Ministers received a series of severe and unprecedented warnings, and did nothing.”
    He further stated,
    “From the middle of 2023 there were more and more voices within the terrorist organizations who said that the moment they had been waiting for has arrived, and these voices appeared in the intelligence assessments, and in discussions in the IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad.”
    Of course this important information was also taken to the higher levels, to the PM and others.
    The Israeli PM’s office has denied these allegations, as is understandable.
    A little earlier Yair Lapid had told The Times of Israel in an interview—“all the signs, all the red flags, all the warnings” were there but Netanyahu “ignored them all”. (see report by Sam Sokol titled “Lapid says Netanyahu knew for months before that a violent eruption was looming’ , The Times of Israel, August 31).
    This is certainly of great significance.
    Commenting on this testimony of the former Prime Minister and present opposition leader, Yossi Vertner wrote in the Haaretz dated August 31, 2024 (see article titled ‘Netanyahu’s lies laid bare: How Israel ignored the roadmap to the October 7 disaster), “It is hard to overstate the importance of opposition leader Lapid’s statement before the civil commission of inquiry investigating the state’s failures on October 7. He lists briefing after briefing he received, piece after piece of intelligence he saw, warning after warning he heard, conversations he had with relevant ‘sources’, all in the relatively brief period of the summer of 2023.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/former-israeli-pm-foreknowledge-october-7-attack/5866890

    Nicaragua Takes Germany to the World Court for Facilitating Israel’s Genocide, Germany is second only to the US as the largest supplier of weapons to Israel. On October 12, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated,
    “At this moment, there is only one place for Germany: the place at the side of Israel. This is what we mean when we say that Israel’s security is a German raison d’État. Our own history, our responsibility arising from the Holocaust, makes it our perpetual duty to stand up for the existence and security of the State of Israel. This responsibility guides us.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/nicaragua-germany-world-court-israel-genocide/5867054

    ‘Jenin Is Just the Beginning’: Israel Planning More Escalations in West Bank
    Israeli security officials told the outlet that while the directive for the West Bank is in its initial stages and that changes on the ground will take time, a new series of operations across the territory are imminent. Last week, Israel launched its largest attack on the West Bank since 2002, with raids focused on Jenin and Tulkarm in the north. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/09/03/jenin-is-just-the-beginning-israel-planning-more-escalations-in-west-bank/

    Trump’s Israel Advisor: We’re Gonna Annex the West Bank and Make America Pay For It
    From The Jewish Daily Forward:
    Trump’s Israel adviser suggests diverting $1 billion from Palestinian aid to fund West Bank annexation.
    Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman writes in new book that U.S. support for Israeli sovereignty is ‘based first and foremost on biblical prophecies and values’. https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64627

    100 million pounds of weapons? What does an M-16 weigh? How many 500# bombs? How much ammo?
    Israeli Official: Without US Aid, Israel Couldn’t Sustain Gaza Operations for More Than a Few Months
    The US has sent over 50,000 tons of weapons to Israel since the genocidal war began and increased shipments over the past month. The support is especially crucial for the Israeli Air Force. The report said the US provides the IAF with “all of its fighter planes and some of its bombs, missiles and intelligence equipment.” The US also helps Israel develop “joint weapons systems for all three layers of air defense.” https://news.antiwar.com/2024/09/03/israeli-official-without-us-aid-israel-couldnt-sustain-gaza-operations-for-more-than-a-few-months/

    Columbia students kick-start fall semester with pro-Palestine protest
    This presents a fresh challenge for school officials after the last school year’s protests turned violent following police crackdowns and punitive measures against protesters.
    Students at Columbia University kick-started their fall semester with a pro-Palestine protest against the university’s continued support for “Israel’s” genocidal war on Gaza and the repression of pro-Palestine student voices.
    About 50 people protested in front of Columbia’s main gates Tuesday holding Palestinian flags and shouting “Free Palestine!” Most protesters were wearing masks over their mouths and a black-and-white scarf on their heads known as a Koufiyyeh, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
    Columbia closed some entrances and limited campus access to students, staff, and guests with authorization, according to the university’s website. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/columbia-students-kick-start-fall-semester-with-pro-palestin

    ‘Israel’ detained 98 Palestinian journalists since Oct. 7: PPS
    The Palestinian Prisoners Society says that 52 of these journalists remain in Israeli prisons and detention centers across the occupied Palestinian territories.
    UN experts have previously expressed concern over “the extraordinarily high numbers of journalists and media workers who have been killed, attacked, injured and detained in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
    Since October 7, “Israel” has killed at least 170 journalists in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to conceal its broadcast massacres against the Palestinian people before the world. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel–detained-98-palestinian-journalists-since-oct–7–p

    Namibia Blocks Vessel Carrying Explosives to Israel. Ruling SWAPO party says it is upholding international law
    During late August the Republic of Namibia drew the attention of the international community by publicly announcing it would not allow a vessel carrying explosive materials to the State of Israel to dock at one of its ports.
    The ruling South-West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) stated that its actions were in line with international law where Tel Aviv has been found guilty of violating the Genocide Convention of 1948.
    Namibia’s neighbor and longtime ally, the Republic of South Africa and its Government of National Unity (GNU) leading party, the African National Congress (ANC), has initiated a legal fight against the genocide being committed by the Israeli state since October 7. In December, South Africa took the Zionist entity before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest legal authority within the United Nations, demanding immediate action.
    Both the ANC and SWAPO have been allies of the Palestinian liberation struggle for decades as all of them have a shared history of being dominated by settler-colonial regimes. The organized anti-colonial movements in South Africa, Namibia and Occupied Palestine have utilized mass demonstrations, general strikes and armed attacks in efforts to win their freedom from national oppression. Namibia gained its national independence in 1990 and four year later South Africa defeated the apartheid regime in 1994. However, the Palestinians are still fighting to break free from the Israeli state…
    ..The entire population of Gaza, 2.3 million people, are imperiled by the U.S.-backed Netanyahu administration. No one living in Gaza can be considered safe from the atrocities being committed by the Occupation Forces. Since late August, the IDF has launched deadly raids into the West Bank under the same guise of combating “terrorism.”
    Although the White House under President Joe Biden says it does not support the aggression in the West Bank, they have not halted the supply of arms to Tel Aviv. Just recently, Washington was reported to have approved the supply of an additional $20 billion in military assistance to the Zionist state…
    Imperialism Defies International Solidarity and Public Opinion
    Despite the outrage exemplified by millions around the world against the genocide being perpetuated by the Israeli state and its supporters, the Zionist regime continues to operate with impunity. John Kirby, the National Security Advisor for the U.S., dismissed the legal actions taken by South Africa as being devoid of merit.
    Biden along with Vice-President Kamala Harris have repeatedly said that they believe the Apartheid Israeli state has the right to exist. How can any government carrying out genocide within a settler-colonial state have any right to be accepted among the global community of nations and peoples?
    The U.S. ruling class maintains that not only does this racist state have the right to exist they must be armed to defend themselves against the liberation movements seeking their overthrow. These liberation organizations such as Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in south Lebanon have been labeled as “terrorist” in efforts to justify the mass slaughter taking place within the communities in which they have emerged. https://www.globalresearch.ca/namibia-blocks-vessel-explosives-israel/5867066
