Posted by b on November 21, 2025@ Dr. D,
Many of the things your government has taught you is a lie.Once you recover from the shock you will develop a new worldview.
Sorry for the long silence, but like many others, I’ve had my own fish to fry. Plus, everyone else has been doing well in keeping TAE on life support. I’ve certainly missed Raul, and wonder how it is he disappeared without any backup to either wrap things up or put us in standby mode. The way things have been going the past few years, losing TAE feels like just one more of the many supports that have been kicked out from underneath. There have been many, my friend, leaving some of us to feel like we are completely on our own. That is not true, of course, but it sure feels like it sometimes.
I’ve come to realize that being aware of things that the people around us are unaware of is a heavy burden to bear, because one bears it alone, and it has the effect of creating a feeling of isolation. When you try to share it, which is natural, it usually backfires. So, you learn to keep it to yourself and try to fit in as best you can. The alternative is to mount a soapbox and play the lunatic. At least Neo had Trinity and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar to commiserate with. When I feel like cracking under the pressure, I try to remember that this knowledge is a valuable treasure that took blood, sweat, and tears to earn. I wanted it, or was compelled to seek it out. But being weak, I sometimes find it difficult to carry.
On the Homefront, I still rely on Herr Docktor, Alex Krainer, and Tom Luongo as touchstones that resonate strongly with my own thinking. When times look dark I try to keep in mind that no matter what setbacks we may experience today, Truth will eventually prevail in all things, because it is part of the unstoppable central driving force of the Universe.

I also want to point out that the SMO serves multiple purposes.It is bleeding the West economically
It is demilitarizing NATO
It is helping Russia diversify its economy
It is giving the Russians a superior testbed for new technologies
With the territory and population gained, the SMO has essentially paid for itself thus far. A virtuous cycle
It is consuming time that the West can ill afford to squander, as its AI mania and compounding debts are hydraulically strangulating its societies.

Putin responds to US Ukraine peace proposal.
The plan for conflict resolution could serve as the foundation for a final peace settlement, the Russian president has saidhttp://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/78524
Vladimir Putin: Yes, of course, there is no secret here. We have had almost no public discussion of it, only in the most general terms, but it is not a secret. President Trump’s peace plan to resolve the situation in Ukraine was discussed before the meeting in Alaska, and during this preliminary discussion, the American side asked us to make certain compromises, to show, as they said, flexibility.
The main point of the meeting in Alaska, the main purpose of the meeting in Alaska, was that during the talks in Anchorage, we confirmed that despite certain complicated issues and difficulties, we nevertheless agree with those proposals and are ready to show the flexibility they asked for.
We have informed all our friends and partners of the Global South in detail on all these issues, including the People’s Republic of China, India, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, South Africa, Brazil, and many other countries, and the CSTO countries, of course. All our friends and partners, and I want to emphasise this, every single one of them supported these possible agreements.
However, we can see that there is a certain pause from the American side following the talks in Alaska, and we understand that this is connected with Ukraine’s de facto rejection of the peace plan proposed by President Trump. I believe this is precisely why a new version has emerged, essentially an updated plan consisting of 28 points.
We have received this text through the existing communication channels with the US administration. I believe it could also serve as a foundation for a final peace settlement. However, it is not being discussed in detail with us. And I can guess why.
The reason, in my opinion, is the same: the US administration has so far been unable to secure consent from the Ukrainian side, as Ukraine is opposed to it. Apparently, Ukraine and its European allies continue to entertain the illusion that they can inflict a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield. I believe this position is not so much the result of insufficient competence – I will not go into that now – but rather stems from an absence of objective information about the actual situation on the ground.
And it appears that neither Ukraine nor Europe realises what this could ultimately lead to. A very recent example is the situation in Kupyansk. As we recall, on November 4 – just two weeks ago – Kiev publicly stated that no more than sixty Russian service members were deployed in the city, and that Ukrainian forces would allegedly completely unblock it within the next few days.
However, I would like to inform you that even at that time – on November 4 – the city of Kupyansk was almost entirely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Our guys were, as they say, finishing off, clearing out individual blocks and streets. The fate of the city had already been determined.
What does this indicate? Either Kiev’s leadership lacks objective reporting about the developments on the front, or, even if they receive such information, they are unable to assess it objectively. If Kiev refuses to discuss President Trump’s proposals and declines to engage in dialogue, then both they and their European instigators must understand that what happened in Kupyansk will inevitably occur in other key areas of the front. Perhaps not as quickly as we would prefer, but inevitably.
And overall, this development suits us, as it leads to achieving the goals of the special military operation by force, through armed confrontation. However, as I have repeatedly stated, we remain ready for peace negotiations and for resolving issues through peaceful means. However, this, of course, requires substantive and meaningful discussion of all aspects of the proposed plan. We are prepared for this.
Let us now get down to the topics proposed for discussion at today’s Security Council meeting.

She sits among her things-
The pieces of her past.
They clip her hidden wings
And promises she cast
Among the useless things.Thank you, John, and Topcat, your comments gave me a needed smile.
I took the occasion to go back to some old books for reassurance, as I often do during times that feel like a rope-a-dope beating. I was looking for a particular chapter that describes the refinement process which gets initiated whenever some earthly aspirant (the poor sap) draws the attention of those who occupy a higher plane.
What follows is the development that normally occurs gradually, almost imperceptibly over numerous lifetimes is kicked into high gear and compressed into a mere few. What from their perspective is a wise and merciful acceleration of the evolutionary process, feels like all hell has broken loose from ours. Energies are put in motion that you never dreamed existed, like living in a microwave oven. Every system that composes the body is affected, especially those systems outside the reach of current medical science.
Anyway, I’ve already said too much for what constitutes a mostly political blog, and close this segment by reminding myself that even though the world appears to be run by dark forces today, and we are tempted to despair, this world rests in wiser and more powerful hands than those who think they are in charge here below. Just as does each of us.
I have been seeing trailers for the new movie Nuremburg and it makes me wonder if Israeli soldiers will ever hang for war crimes?
In case anyone was wondering who’s killing Christians in Africa. The usual suspects, of course.

I like The Optimists, too, Maxwell Quest.
In westerns, the good guy often comes off as pretty bad. He uses trickery and lies; he waits to catch the bad guys in the act (and people die!) and shoots them without trial. But in the end he cleans up the town and they make him the sheriff. He doesn’t make a very good sheriff, though, because he tends to shoot people without a trial.

G20 Research Group G20 Information CentreNovember 22, 2025, 2:59 PM G20 Summit Resolution: EU Countries
Reject US Peace Plan At today’s G20 meeting in South Africa, participating EU states announced that Germany and other leading supporters of Ukraine reject the US plan for a proposed end to the war in Ukraine in its current form.The initial content of the current draft would provide a basis, “however, further work on the plan is necessary,” according to a statement released after an emergency meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
The “coalition of the willing” adheres to the “principle that borders must not be changed by force,” several European states, as well as Canada and Japan, declared on Saturday on the sidelines of the summit.
The statement continues: “We are also concerned about the proposed restrictions on the Ukrainian armed forces, which would make Ukraine vulnerable to future attacks.”

The corruption and the lies of the Western narrative are falling out like bodies from a rotten sack.
“Two hypotheses I’ve been holding back on….
Would “they” resurrect Charlie Kirk and turn him into an “antichrist”? Are dispensationalism and other apocalyptic beliefs that popular?
And-
The Netherlands didn’t do the digital services act until feb 2025. What if RIM headed back to Amsterdam and was detained for comments on his blog? And we are left here to “draw the attention of those who occupy a higher plane?”Speculation fills the void of not knowing what’s up.
A little closure would be nice-
A bit of some assurance.
The void we have does not suffice-
It’s taxing our endurance.Although, not so much, as indicated by the life support we are providing for ourselves.
: )Army men and baby dolls;
Loyal dogs and fickle cats
I shall rule, or I shall nurture-
Boys and girls wear different hats.When women come to love the reins of power,
And men love comfort more than self-control,
The faster humans near the final hour,
Where we are shattered, and bereft of soul.I have gone from believing that governmental charity removes the shame of begging, to despising mandated charity. That’s a hard right, I guess.
I used to figure there would be about a 10% overhead of fraud and grift in such programs, and that legitimate users would eagerly find and bounce the cheats.
Boy, was I wrong.Right now the States have arranged structural fraud to bilk the Federales out of all possible money. This probably started honestly, drifting, and is now a complex mix of mere slack, immigration fraud, double-booking, employment, and in the last stages make up entire cities, billions of fake people which fund whole departments and political careers. I believe it is so large as to be possible to prove with just outside numbers at this time. Like, eg, Clinton Haiti fund, CA is getting $100B and $2B are reaching the ground, you can tell from orbit. I don’t know what the numbers will be but my instinct is it’s large enough now.
One is that SNAP rose 40% in 2 years under Biden. FORTY. Even immigrants can’t do that, it’s funding their failed party. But the bigger the fraud the bigger the churn you need to hide it.
“Ukraine & Europe Reject Trump’s Russia Peace Plan, Prepare Emergency Call
Hahahahaha! That was quick! Took about 1 hour, same as when Trump fwd the notes to Europe on Alaska. Yup! Everyone expected this. But this WILL be the terms of your surrender, so get comfy.
Is it our surrender? Were we trying to do something there? Who says? Officially NEITHER us nor Europe has anything to do with Ukraine. They are totally, totally autonomous and completely democratic, not flipped in a $6B illegal coup at all.
Note Putin’s speech now confirms every single thing I said. And also why Budapest? Nobody’s going if there’s nothing to sign, and France would also nuke the whole city if the signers went there. BUt the point is, despite 100 days of Duran navel-gazing about the “Perfidious Americahn” it was EUROPE, just like we all said. Trump had nothing to do with it, Putin knew every minute and was not miffed.
“FAA Reports 400% Surge Of In-Flight Outbursts, DoT Launches Civility Campaign
The FAA is the cause and everybody knows it. Or the TSA, etc, plus government outlawing competition and thereby being a public-private partnership which they have to guide, control, and regulate, and don’t. So…compare to 1999, and now. So adding this government was better? Worked great? Americans all happy now?
“Treasury To Block Tax Credits For Illegal Immigrants Under New Trump Administration Rule
10 more levels: Still after SNAP reform, asking for reapplication 32 states have provided records so they can stop payments to foreign citizens and dead people using DOGE databases to cross-reference. Also DoJ is after some other things such as CA providing citizen/state tuition to foreign nationals, which is against CA law. …But who will enforce that law, when CA goes lawless? Does whatever they want? Etc. As each layer goes, a few more fly home without trouble, and housing prices drop…which means housing prices, consumption, and stock values drop. “Liquidity”…drop.
You can’t have housing drop for GenZ and also NOT drop. It’s one or the other. So you see why $2k free starter check is critical.
Luongo is following the plumbing in FHA, where they have used every illegal trick to keep the company from returning to Private, out of Government takeover. Yes, for almost 10 years. They are a cash machine right now. Investors want that cash flow. But if it’s gummed up, it screws the kids raw, so the kids will dutifully be morons and will burn down NYC for Global Communism, etc. There are layers of other things, like terms of jumping between any FHA homes, carrying your same terms with you. Probably we’ll find more fraud and houses that never existed, or with people that don’t, than DOGE found in Congress.
All of this fixed means housing and America is fixed, kids can live, get jobs, work, save up, and not have to burn the nation down, as was the plan. Remember: Socialism has to make everyone MISERABLE. On purpose. Otherwise they won’t riot and kill and gov’t stays the same. They are very, very open about this. Russian Rev 2.0 can’t happen if business, election, inflation, all work.
“Half Of US Homes Lost Value Over Past Year: Zillow
Fed can backstop this crash and has the power. ECB does not.
Also, they are probably sunsetting the Fed and moving it all to Treasury, where it should be. Both bc that term is used up, but also bc we are dismantling all the evil structures put in place to capture and cripple us in the first place. Think “Jackson, Bank, 1832”
On that change, we are almost certainly going Gold-Backed Treasuries, and Russian, Chinese, etc bonds are all “interchangable”. How? Partially by plan, but more because they all have the same issues, and must all lean in this same direction to solve it. Eg. I think Russia just started issuing Yuan-denominated bonds? But in the base sense, “UST” is remaining the “World standard”, but with open competition. As it should be. We get transition, and also reform.
