The Battle for Influence: Why Some Figures and Ideas Succeed and Others Don’t
A good sunday read into who is controlling your mind!

Got to laugh, so close to the truth.
From this week, Trump was in Iran, Venezuela, first term, then called them both in and said “Nah, I’m bored. No bombs today.” Bolton was mad as a wet hen, and Wolff, MacGregor, Ritter, AOC I guess, madder than that on Bolton’s behalf.
Striiiiiiippppping it back, what happened? Trump got the dumbest guys in all Washington…And you REALLY have to dig to find dumber guys than that! And found…Bolton. Rubio. Some Random Guido. The Bay of Piglets, where what was it FOUR? Men were going to take Caracas? Let them waste INFINITY time on it. Put it allllll in the the news. Any time they wanted. “We’re comin’ for ya!” Then, last minute: NOPE! False alarm, ya know I’d just LOVE to, Johnny boy, but I got this golf game comin’ up, and you’re due in Outer Mongolia on Friday, right old pal?
Same with Iran this time. No air defense lit. We hit nothing. They hit nothing back. All good, we sure showed em! (And then shut off all 5 Eyes including Israel. Bye. )
What now? Garland Nixon says they’re making the same noises now. Ya don’t say! So tricky-tricky. Except Garland STILL thinks it’s Trump backing down, having cold feet. JHC. Yes, and that ASSUMES he ever wanted it in the first place. But SINCE it’s impossible, AND we have almost no motive, WHY would you think that?
How about: He never wanted it in the first place, that’s why he sent only 100 men and 5 boats who had to be floating somewhere costing money bc they’re “The Navy”. Might as well waste money there as anywhere.
Now that it’s set up, Trump can “Be a dummy” and “TACO” and never get into the war he never wanted – nor said he wanted – in the first place. All MEDIA projection. YOUR projection. Without evidence. Then you go “Ha ha ha! I’m so smart! Trump lost!” Whatever lets you sleep at night I guess. 10,000th time in a row.

Why not 2, Two, to, Too
2 are more than 1 and maybe even better.my apologies, doc d.
nonetheless, ¿since whenso does the u.s. government care about (arresting etcing!) drug traffickers?
P.S. up front. Listening to Luongo, now he TOO is losing his mind. By leaning too far into oppositional defiance disorder, and where EVERYTHING has to be London now. Not that his statement didn’t work well, but it was Collum, Kunstler, and they’re like, “Who’s London tho? The King? Why don’t we have the names, even a clue who the real puppeteers are? That seems unsupportable at this point.” Yes. I agree. Not that he’s not seeing a pivotal power nexus, but not the ONLY power nexus, AND they may not be strictly 1:1 like a feudal lord. — Heck, even REAL Mafias are not 1:1 controlled, directed, not really. If a guy’s down on the streets, he’s running things, he doesn’t and can’t, and will often try to hustle on the side and “forget” to vig, and also could be crossing the larger strategy, because he doesn’t know what that is and shouldn’t, up at the Don level. And the Dons also know it. So they don’t act to smash heads and get them in line unless they have to, they know they’re cheaters because they’re all Criminals! Surprise!
Same with geopolitics. There’s a lot of “Ima hustle some million on the side” that’s not “intentional” planned, directed, and throws up a lot of chaff. Like look at all Ukraine. You think EUROPE, LONDON, wants 1,000 Ukrainian oligarchs embezzle 2/3rd of what’s sent and lose the war? Probably not.
Same with “London” altogether. Also, you focus too much on these guys, you start to lose tracking the Dragons in China, the Yukuza, African Arms. Who knows what. ARE they involved, and the US? Yes, bc we’re aware of these geopolitics and are there at all to meddle. But that doesn’t mean London CAUSES Nigeria, or that China did. Just that bc they exist there, they meddle there. It may or may not be 51% responsible.
“D.C. Mayor Imposes Juvenile Curfew After Mobs Of Kids Wreak Halloween Night Havoc
Why does this never happen in Red areas?
Online, concept: Cities don’t fall because the nation falls; Nations fall because their cities fall. Excellent point, although we may ask why. They are the export/currency/trade centers. So not if you were fully self-sufficient? It helps, but probably not, would still be true but less so.
What does it even MEAN for a “Nation to fall”? WHO falls? I’m still here in my house. You mean the GOVERNMENT falls, which IDGAF about. The People are not the Government. This is why they talk about a “Civilizational culture” which is very ill-defined, meaning just “I’m better than you are, the U.S. sucks, ha ha.” Very helpful. But that’s what it means that can be measured. IF there is no government, will the people just go on as they are?
And if the “Government falls” it almost always means a worse, weaker one gets in. All your enemies will make sure of it. So, not a fan there either. And we are NOT able to move without government now that they’ve made it 40% of the country, against all our shouting and opposition. Guess what? It has exactly the bad outcomes that us and Ayn Rand said! Stop making Ayn Rand right! Nobody likes that. Tell me if gov’t were only 20% we wouldn’t be safer. As gov’t grew, did our lives constantly improve? I think not.
Phoenix: Same all around. They HAVE the money. …For anything they want or need. Just not anything WE want or need. There is also plenty of food, but it’s always about distribution. Also most people WANT jobs instead. And so that’s the first thing that’s attacked, as small business is the major if not only job creator.
But this is not new.
“TARIFFS on imports OF GOODS to USA. Good thing that it’s not called “AUSTERITY”
It depends if you want those jobs or not. And whether you want to be completely helpless, unable to make ships and 777 shells. Btw, Trump at least trying to sign things: signed KOREA to build ships in the U.S., in Philly. And? That’s the only way to get any expertise to re-claim the ability to do that, sorry. And they are, or better be, American jobs in that district.
I’m sure everyone will protest: How DARE he take the measures that create jobs! Well I say Sir! He’s positively unhinged to get black people jobs! Didn’t we have to suffer the “Black people are employed” epidemic in Trump I? This must be stopped!
Again, since it’s popped up for me, it’s totally inappropriate, for so many reasons, just to go sink boats in international waters. Like even IF you do that, you’re going to have to make a detailed case for me, and even then I’ll say it’s wrong, but it won’t make it a priority to act on it. However, we’re just making up some mythical moral standard no one is adhering to, and only us, and our side has to obey it so that we can lose more fully, completely, and publicly. Uh, no. Also not that. That’s impractical, which is even worse.
ALLLLL behaviour for like
2050 years now is this, just psychopathic narcissists abusing ANY good will and good faith we give them. Then laughing. No.In reality IF drug cartels, of any kind, operate in the size they do in Ven, — and it’s more than a few! — THEN they are in collusion with the national government, which is allied and cutting a deal, protecting them, essentially. Same as Mexico. And I know it’s super funny to sell drugs to idiot Americans who wave money in your face, and send every rapist and felon to America who lets them in and pays $5k for the privilege you can remit for billions back home, but that’s still wrong, and when someone whacks you with a 9-iron for it, don’t cry to me. What do you THINK will stop it, or make Caracas take their cartels seriously? Asking nicely? And this administration didn’t MAKE this problem — allegedly. It was dumped on them all the way back to Poppa Bush. You can’t unring the bell, so how do you get their full attention?
You ALSO know I consider all these guys to be essentially the CIA, off-ranch, and self-funding. They are essentially a rogue nation unto themselves. AND? What do you want me to do about it? Yes it’s “Us” – the CIA – but that’s why WHEN WE’RE TRYING TO STOP THEM, you should help us, yes? Also lets us bomb rogue CIA bases in the jungle to ashes and then we can all hold hands and cheer together, right?
I don’t even care if YOU, Caracas, bomb them to ashes for us, or Russia, or Wagner. I’ll help. No reason for us to do it, you’re a sovereign nation. But SOMEBODY has to, and if this is the way to motivate you, so be it.
Kultsummer: you can take equal abuse for being pro Israel. That’s why it’s a no-win. It’s not really fair to just post one side of the news. That’s why it’s all about principle and our principle is non-intervention and free speech.
Get your AI to do it for you.
Imports of goods to the USA.(Answer by Copilot)
Let’s break down exactly how importers get squeezed under the 2025 U.S. tariff regime—following the money from shipment to sale:Step-by-Step: How Margin Compression Happens
In 2025, U.S. importers are facing severe margin compression due to a combination of elevated tariffs, customs bond requirements, and financing costs. For example, a $1 million shipment from China now incurs a 20% tariff, adding $200,000 in direct costs. Importers must also post a customs bond worth 10% of the duties—$20,000 in this case—which remains tied up for nearly 300 days due to bond stacking. Financing this locked capital adds another $15,000 to $30,000 in interest expenses. Logistics costs, including shipping, insurance, and port fees, typically add $50,000, while warehousing and domestic distribution tack on another $35,000. Even if the goods are sold for $1.5 million, the importer’s net margin after all costs is only about $150,000, or 10%.
Before the tariff hikes importers could expect margins of 25–30%, but now they’re often reduced to 10–12%. This squeeze occurs because tariffs are non-recoverable, bonds restrict liquidity, and financing costs compound over time. Retailers resist passing these costs to consumers, forcing importers to absorb the impact. In a real-world case, an electronics importer bringing in $10 million worth of goods from China pays $2 million in tariffs, posts $200,000 in bonds, and incurs $60,000 in financing costs. Even with a $13 million retail value, the net profit is just $700,000—only 5.4%.
Importers can survive on a 5.4% net margin—but only under specific conditions. That margin is thin, especially in a high-risk, high-capital environment like 2025’s tariff-heavy trade landscape. Here’s how survival hinges on operational discipline:
When 5.4% Is Viable
– High volume: If the importer moves large quantities consistently, even small margins can yield meaningful profits.
– Low overhead: Lean operations with minimal fixed costs (e.g., outsourced logistics, no warehousing) can stay afloat.
– Strong cash flow: If inventory turns quickly and receivables are tight, the business can remain liquid.
– Stable financing: Access to low-cost credit or internal capital reduces the drag from customs bonds and tariff float.
– Strategic sourcing: Importers who diversify away from high-tariff countries or secure exemptions can restore margins.When It’s Unsustainable
– Bond stacking: If multiple shipments are in customs simultaneously, liquidity dries up.
– Retail resistance: If downstream buyers won’t absorb price hikes, importers eat the cost.
– Volatile tariffs: Sudden changes in trade policy can wipe out margin forecasts.
– High financing costs: If capital is expensive or delayed, the 5.4% margin erodes fast.
– Low inventory turnover: If goods sit unsold, carrying costs and interest eat into profits.Survival Math
– On $13M in sales, $700K profit is workable if:
– Fixed costs are <$500K/year
– Inventory turns >4x/year
– Financing costs <2% of capital tied up
– But if any of those shift—say, bond stacking locks $2M for 300 days—then survival depends on external capital or restructuring.Parliamentarians from 14 nations in Caracas demand end to U.S. military operations

November 2, 2025“That Guy”
I killed in the markets, I won at the tables, my bets in the gaming pools rock.
I’ve got all the intel, I calculate odds well, I’m smarter than most of the flock.
But the truth is I’m lucky: God loves me so much he
Makes all of my ventures succeed.
Of course, I’ll not mention the losses, the tension-
I’m just a superior breed!We have reached Trump’s “Let them eat cake” moment. Will he fund the food stamps or will he ignore the plight of the poort? My guess is that he will do something that appears to help, but does nothing to really help.
The Zionists are stripping the USA bare, stealing the whole thing as best they can, while the poor suffer and watch their country turn into a shit hole. Israel is still getting what it wants, it’s healthcare is still free and funded by the US taxpayer, weapons are still being provided to kill the Palestinians. The oligarchs need to keep their rabid Jew dogs – their mental case Jewish descendants – primed for more self destruction in the middle east.
What a filthy world these trust fund kids have created; what useless people they are, having contributed nothing to this world, they are fortunate enough to have inherited the power to destroy the world, a power they end up using through incompetence. We have Trump doing the Zionist agenda by squeezing the US business environment through tariffs, we have the Zionists murdering left right and center, no limit to their deranged activities. All driven by spoilt trust fund kids unable to work out how to use their massive wealth for good rather than evil; the lowest common denominator. Now they are trying to shut up their critics, plebs who criticise the Zionists.
They remind me of beer yeast; you can only reuse beer yeast a certain number of times – about 10 to 12 fermentations – after that they start to produce off flavours, so have to be discarded. Our trust fund kid leaders are the same, after a few generations of inherited wealth, their humanity and common sense disappears and they become a liability. As a result they will be discarded and a new bunch will emerge, to start their 10 generation journey of destruction. Just shows you, whatever Darwin was saying about survival of the fittest, that theory does not work in the beer yeast world and does not appear to work in the human world.
