In discussing these and related matters this morning about how everybody on Earth right now seems to be choosing sides, drawing battle lines and rallying around various flags and causes which go by a wild variety of colorful and emotionally charged names and labels, my genius daughter commented, “Yeah. Well life does tend to be a group activity.”
The way to answer the accusation that one is an antisemite is to say that it is indeed a very serious charge and therefore needs to be talked about to see if the accusation is true or not because in either case (whether the charge is true or not true) then someone needs to be corrected!
Who it happens to be who buys the 3.5 $Billion (or more) in weapons given to Israel as a “Foreign Aid”: subsidy is of little importance other than in identifying who is robbing us. What matters the most is that WE are the ones forking over the money to those weapon sellers. They get the weapons (and much of the profit from the sales), and WE get to pay the bill. Excess profits after all the graft skimming is finished is rolled back into the business of using the weapons and sale profits to pay for the henchmen who force us to pay that bill. A truly slick operation.
Episode #3 in the exciting new Daytime Television Hit Series, “Ivanka & Jerry’s Adventures on Daddy’s Fantasy Island”
More about the Fantasy Island gig that Jared and Ivanka have going there on the Albania Island they just bought. (I posted a video about it a couple days ago if you need to catch up [ #241998 ].
Here, listen to what Ivanka thinks and feels about the acquisition and remodeling project. WARNING: be sure to freshly re-take your strongest anti-nausea medications before listening. You’ll need them.
By the way, and completely disrelated to everything else on the world geopolitical, military and financial stage, that little (2.2 Square Miles) Sazan Island that Jared and Ivanka just bought commands the maritime choke point (45 miles wide at its narrowest) of the entire Adriatic Sea and AND entry to Albania’s most important port (and third largest city) of Vlore.
Just a resort mind, you, with 3,500 nuclear hardened bunkers and a nice little port of it’s own, with government built mansion. Nothing to see here, folks, a mere trinket for Jared to park his yacht off season.
Of course Zionists and Nazis aren’t the only assholes out there. The MAGA American Empire guys are just as bad, possibly worse, and are just always playing footsies with the other ones whenever they can engineer a chance to control more slaves.
Same ducks (walking and quacking and genociding wise), just with slightly reworded labels.
I gather, @citizenx , from what you write and the abusively critical words that you use to describe us, that you think that most of us here on TAE (with the exception of two or three of your friends) are hopelessly and irredeemably stupid or bad or both.
As statistically unlikely as that is (it’s highly unlikely that 95%… nearly all… of those involved with this TAE forum are hopelessly and irredeemably stupid or bad or both,) it is still within the realm of physical possibility that you are right.
There are, after all, groups large and small (Democrats, Republicans, Nazi’s, Zionists, The United States Congress, etc. in which 95% (or more!) of their membership is, indeed, hopelessly and irredeemably stupid or bad or both.
In case that’s the case here at TAE wherein most of us are mutton headed criminals and only you and your three “friends” (you do know that they are not really your friends, don’t you?) than that situation raises a VERY big question.
The question is about why, under those circumstances, you would waste your valuable time and effort to come here and talk down to us so frequently. That would be a hopeless and irredeemably stupid thing to do, wouldn’t it?
Are you trying to show and tell us that you’re as dumb as we are?
Hey there, citizenx! Where are you a citizen from, citizen?
I would really like to know, but I have roughly ZERO expectation that you will fess that up to the rest of us. Some kind of Jew, I reckon. Or Nazi.
Hard to tell the difference much of the time.
James Howard Kunstler is a big fan of GEO Group (the guys who run the 1,120 “bed” ICE detention Center there is New Jersey). The place must be a real country club resort with those guys in charge.
That makes perfect sense, because GEO Group is just the latest rename of the company G4S Security company that ran Israel’s imprisonment system that enabled the force-based elimination of Palestinians from Palestine. Without G4S the Genocide would have been impossible. It was a KEY and INSTRUMENTAL player in the operation of the Apartheid Jewish State of Israel.
But don’t think of GEO Group as mere opportunistically corrupt and brutal “Dirty Cops”. Think of them as the most savagely perverted killers the world has seen since the methamphetamine fueled Gestapo of the good old Death Camp Days of WW2.
Bad guys don’t get much worse. They are so bad that they have changed their name at least THREE times to avoid recognition. They are MONSTERS, and that’s putting it nicely.
Of course Kunstler loves them. They torture, rape, beat and sado-murder the people that Howard doesn’t like.
Before G4S Security renamed themselves as GEO Group , the outfit went by the name Wackenhut (for their founder, George Wackenhut, multi-billionaire ex-FBI agent and all around demonic nightmare made famous by being the guy whose company PERSONALLY and PHYSICALLY delivered the totally ILLEGAL Chemical and Biological Weapons equipment and materials to Saddam Hussein as a well paid favor to the CIA back in the day when Saddam Hussein worked for them too. Before he got uppity and HANGED.
You remember those weapons don’t you? They’re the ones Saddam used to kill about a million Irani’s as a favor to Uncle Sam and ISRAEL.
Where do you find these guys, Ilargi? Has Satan himself opened a store-front where you can just waltz in and rent a psychopath like Kunstler for an afternoon of care-free genocide promotion?
Here is the kind of Law Enforcement and Security Services that Wackenhut/G4S/GEO Group/Israel provide.
I hope they provide such services to you and James one day soon. I think you might both become wiser from the experience.
US government prepares to print $250 note featuring Trump’s face
Make that a $3 bill and I’m all for it.
To the best of my knowledge of the historical record (and I’ve sure studied heaps of that) there is no case, ever, in which making something illegal eliminated or even reduced the amount of that type of behavior being “haved”.
But it sure has created a lot of jobs in the Cops & Robbers sector of the economy, ALL paid for by the people who (ultimately) NOT protected by those legal laws in any way whatsoever. Quite the contrary, in fact, historically speaking.
Basically, the more cops, prisons, laws and courts a society has then the more crime and criminal consequences that society suffers.
Maybe that should give us pause to think about what REALLY needs to be fixed, and it ain’t more and more laws, spy-cops and enforcement.
Forgive me for asking, but was the AJ Christopher piece included in today’s Debt Rattles as satire?
Sorrowfully, no. It was farce.
Go for it. Write it all out into a long form book. The premise of the story is so amazingly logical that it may very well be literally actually true! If it doesn’t generate instant conspiracy theories (that are mostly true!) then I’m a monkey’s Uncle. You’ll sell a million copies. I want a signed, original, first edition.
@Dr_D
Every time you get into a tussle with that straw many you create in your mind you just kick the shit out of him. I guess that explains why you do it so much. It feels good to win and that’s the only way you can win (in your mind).
I don’t mean to be overly enigmatic in making such a statement (just entertainingly funny) and would be completely happy to expand on it and explain how and why it is true. Absolutely true.
In order to improve “something” (in other words, make it “better” in the opinion of the one wanting the improvement) one has to make it different than it is now, and that difference is called change. That might sound insultingly self-obvious simple, and perhaps it is, but the amazing evidence of its veracity is that even when someone gets exactly what asked for the very first thing they do is express angry and ungrateful outrage at all of damage that had to be done in order bring that “improvement” about and make it actually happen.
In other words, to get the change that they wanted they had to make changes that they didn’t want, and now they have to change all of those things back to the way that they previously were. That causal chain reaction just never ends.
By the time all is said and done they’ve had to change practically everything and it STILLL ain’t over yet! They are more adamant than ever that all sorts of stuff has to change practically overnight in order for them to get the changes they now want.
It just drives them absolutely crazy.
I think that what drives Control Freaks (Greedy Bastards and Blobsters in general) the craziest is the immutable Law of Nature (and physics!) that in order for anything to get better first everything has to change.
Peace must be close
Nice thought, but not quite yet. First there must come the realignments, and those are usually messy and not especially peaceful.
Just in case you have ever deeply wondered why the English Crown has so deeply involved itself with Jews and Judaism.
I just heard that Larry Fink came out in public recently and said something to the effect of, “Please don’t bomb my Data Centers because I need them to control vital industries and make the money to pay for them.”
That’s hilarious!
It’s like a mugger in a dark alley asking his victim, “Please don’t disarm me while I’m in the process of robbing you at gunpoint or shooting you dead if you try to resist or obstruct the crime.”
As for the data centers themselves I say Bomb Away! We’ve got more than enough of them already and have all of the so-called Artificial Intelligence that we could ever possibly need, and then some.
We don’t need robots. We need a decent life with enough food to eat and electricity to keep the lights on. We don’t need to spend 100 billion dollars per head to send humans to Mars! What possible thing could a human being on Mars produce to justify send him to Mars (on a multi-trillion dollar mission, for which each mars-o-nut would have a productive lifespan of a very few years before becoming a net liability cost/benefit wise)
Here’s an idea: Send Fink and Elon to Mars.
Now that the world is teetering on the brink of nuclear war, and it’s likely that Israel will be the first to launch its nukes, it might benefit us somewhat to answer the question of where did they get their atomic bombs in th first place.
Better to answer that important question late than never, I am forced to suppose.
My guess is that Zionist elements within both countries conspired to bribe, blackmail, and criminally enlist the various military, scientific, intelligence, political and financial institutions of the United States to GIVE them those nuclear weapons by means of extremely convoluted skullduggery, and keep all of the dirty details of that skullduggery secret and legally immunized against opposition or exposure by BOTH camps (Israeli and Anglo/American based) to this very day.
The Zionist Faction that just “Primaried” Massie out of the Congress shot themselves in the head by demonstrating beyond all shadow of doubt that the Zionist State of Israel does, indeed, run the United States Empire. Had they chosen almost anyone other than Thomas Massie they might have gotten away with it, too, but they didn’t.
They just gave one of their most dangerous adversaries an enormously powerful weapon to use against them, and Thomas Massie knows how to use that weapon to greatest effect. He was already quite good at it, and now he has the ammunition to do it even better.
Making one’s enemy stronger is such a dumb move that I just gotta say that the ZioNazi Empire is just too stupid to live much longer.
Here’s one just for the fun of showing to our local die-hard Capitalist Patriots how steadfastly patriotic our Government and Corporations ACTUALLY are (at least for the last century or so), and their longstanding romantic attachment to the Nazis.
Anybody in an executive position ( which if you think small enough would mean “anybody at all”) who willfully chooses to NOT HEAR AND NOT KNOW a piece of true information that is mission critical to the success of their own operations, is a fool (to be sure), but they are something far worse than a mere fool to everyone counting on the “success” of the operation effected.
He is a TRAITOR. He is knowingly and purposefully acting in direct and detrimental opposition to the interests of the people he has sworn allegiance to.
The Trump and Israel situation springs immediately to mind. What do you think, is there a War Crime level of genocide being illegally executed against the Palestinians in Gaza by the United States of America and Israel? Yes or no? Well, what would Trump say to that question? Do you think he has been told and has accepted the true information regarding that genocide?
So, he has awarely and purposefully chosen to not know a true fact that he knows to be a true fact in order to help Israel at everyone else’ expense, and despite the fact that he has sworn an oath before God to the people who put him in office that he would NEVER betray them.
That’s straight up treason, and the punishment for treason is typically not a few years in prison and a harsh fine. They usually hang them.
They execute them for the good reason that such a traitor can never be trusted for anything every again and can be depended upon to attempt to repeat the crime if there is any humanly possible way to do so, ever. Not safe to keep alive, even in a prison cell. The pages of History are chock full of successful traitors and revolutionaries who spent a few years in the slammer prior to their big day on the world stage. It’s way safer to just kill ’em.
I don’t mean anything in particular about all of this. Just sayin’.
There is a red-flag identifier for persons who are loyal only to themselves. And it is almost impossible to hide that salient feature completely. It is the manifested necessity for them to never expend energy on anything that doesn’t provide them with a profit that justifies the expense. In other words, they are very very selfish, and often quite skilled at hiding how selfish they really are and how brilliantly camouflaged.
Just imagine the implications and consequences. https://youtu.be/SRQTnUExlA8?si=B6h3zmOPvNZcDRrP
In exposing and protesting the myriad horrible crimes attributed to Jews please stop even using the word Jew except to extol its virtues. Use the word Zionist instead, because that’s what they are. A Zionist is merely a FAKE Jew. They say they’re Jews but they really aren’t, and I say that with great specificity of the word that they really are not. They really are the exact opposite.
Don’t get overly hung up on the language and words. Pay attention to the difference in existential characteristics such as true and false or good and bad. Bad is Bad and good is good no matter what word you choose to represent them.
Jesus (who self admittedly was an actual Jew) had the same problem with them. When He called them out as FAKES they killed Him. Which was their undoing. It is what causes their fall. They’re fakes. Imitations. It’s been said that nothing succeeds like success. Well, the same goes for failure.
Being FAKERS is what causes them to fall, and by killing Jesus for the crime of calling them out as fakers who only pretended to be loyal to God when in fact they were not loyal to anyone other than themselves they set the ball rolling toward that inevitable conclusion. The truth is coming out.
Norway, a country with just over 5 million people, manages the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — worth nearly $2 trillion. This translates to around $340,000 for every citizen, making it one of the richest countries per capita.
The fund was built from oil revenues, but… pic.twitter.com/agPuKMrlBG

Don’t forget to also pump up those noble Norwegians and piously place them atop the pedestal of Virtue Incarnate for having performed so well in WW2. Norway was the finest bastion of jack booted killers and thieves in the entirety of Nazidom.
And still are.
The Jews were a BIG deal in pre-war Norway. They owned all the cool stuff like factories and banks. You might even say (with some accuracy) Jews owned a controlling interest in the whole operation (ditto for all of Europe). The Nazi’s STOLE ALL OF IT, and either expelled or murdered any Jews who either resisted or who failed to see what was happening and run away.
It’s completely understandable why they would want it back. Which they have now fully accomplished. Norway is ZIONIST now, and all of that stolen stuff is now back in possession of the creeps who owned it before the big war (WW2). It took a lot of money and clever infiltration and blackmail to pull it off, but it is now done.
I shudder to think where that two trillion dollar slush fund they manage came from, or goes to now.
Just search out the widest deepest pools of blood. That’s where.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Iran:
They’ve been raping, killing and murdering for 47 years. The Western world allowed proxy wars.

I can scarcely believe that you would trot out a despicable piece of shit like Jamie fucking Diamond to extoll of the alleged sins of Iran “raping, killing and murdering” [the redundant language is Jamie’s, not mine] over the past 47 years, when it was ZIONIST Jamie fucking Diamond and his ZIONIST pals in the transnational ZIONIST Military Industrial Complex who were doing 99% of the raping and murdering (and much worse) in Iran over the past 80 years.
Give me a break Ilargi! Are you literally brain damaged?
ZIONIST Jamie fucking Diamond is a monster of the worst kind, playing a CEO role in the lying, cheating, stealing and killing of tens of millions of innocent men. women and children throughout his entire adult life, and you damned well know it.
What gives, Raul? This kind of shit goes far beyond merely letting evil have its say. Promoting Jamie Diamond to any platform except the gallows is a capital offense of the soul.
The basic finance model is to acquire stuff (by buying it with money) when the stuff is cheap, and then selling the stuff off (for money) when the stuff is expensive. It’s pretty much fail-safe for as long as money has value and stuff exists. You’ll “make money” every time you do it, so the more often you do it then the faster you get rich.
The richer you get then the more likely you are to get the idea that “making money” sure beats working, and that it’s okay to do it because, lets face it, you really are so much better than the people you’re stealing from.
Eventually it is highly likely that with the continuation of that profiteering attitude the money maker will observe that there are just too damned many useless and annoying people around to suit their taste, and at that point they start getting rid of them, and they use money making to do it.
@JohnDay
Which view is more realistic?
Which view applies to elites in power?
What perspective might apply to elites out of power?
How badly will it all break before it is worth trying to rebuild?
I’ve lived a good life. I still have projects, and I hope to be of use to kids and grandkids, but I can’t be of any real use to our “owners”, my “betters”.
They may get rid of me, but I’m watching for it…I’ve got a pretty actively vivid imagination but even with the pedal to the metal I can’t imagine our masters taking enough interest in my doin’s to bother with getting rid of me (except as just another name on the unwritten casualties list of collateral damage.)
Since that’s the case I figure that I can do the most beneficially disruptive (to their nefarious plans) thing that I can possibly imagine.
It’s the same thing you’re doing, I’m pretty sure, which is to dig up as much truth that I can get my hands on and then telling everybody else about them, as best I can.
Iran (or a consortium of dependable partners operating within the guardrails of a REAL treaty) SHALL control the Strait of Hormuz for the very good reason that they are the only ones materially capable of the task. Every time somebody else decides to control the Strait they blow up and blockade other people’s ships, and if NO ONE keeps the peace then free-lance pirates will rampage up and down both sides of the entire waterway.
If one reserves for oneself the final and decisive say and decision about what the other guy’s rights are, then one does not actually believe in the other guy having any rights at all, except perhaps the “might makes right” law of the jungle …. and not even that, actually, if one secretly reserves for themself the decision of whether the jungle itself has the right to exist if it pleases us to decide otherwise and just OWN whatever we choose.
That stance is a sort of free will on steroids, kind of like the one that got Satan into so much trouble.
@JohnDay
The system does not require any of its participants to act corruptly. It requires them only to act in their own clear, documented, mutually reinforcing interests.
But of course to “act in their own clear, documented, mutually reinforcing interests” when they have been hired, paid, granted authority and have promised to act in the interests of the civilian population who granted them that power (and cash payment) based on that contract to serve the best interests of that civilian population, then that IS corruption, de facto.
@DBS
Re: “ People have been fighting over this real estate for AT LEAST 10,000 years, so I’m not very surprised that Netanyahu and the rest of the ZioNazis are fighting over it now.”I think this is Zionist propaganda. It is partially true, but very misleading. For most of the last 2000 years the people living in the Holy Land lived in peace.
If you re-read what I wrote in comment #240780 you will find that your first reading missed the main points of what I actually wrote. 20th Century “Zionists” are late comers to the game, but their older brethren and predecessors (since 9,500 BC, to be exact) have been have been up to their ears in archeologically provenly violent contest for those lands for as far back as we are able to see, and the virtually incessant violent clashes didn’t start anywhere even remotely close to 1948 (or even 1917 when the British Empire put a violent end to the 2000 year long peace that had reigned there for centuries under the Ottoman Turks…. with a few mostly peaceful interludes for the Turks to slaughter a few million Armenians and Kurds who were unfortunately in the wrong place (their HOMES) at the wrong time (when the Ottoman’s wanted the real estate).
In point of fact the only times that there has been prolonged peace , was when somebody’s hegemonic EMPIRE owned it so decisively that no one within 500 miles of Jerusalem had the military power strong enough to evict the current owners.
Just skim the Old Testament. It’s literally full of folks smiting each other over land disputes, conquest and attempted genocide, and it didn’t start or end with them either (Abraham, Noah or David, etc.) Those birds were late comers, predated by a LONG line of would-be landlords going back through Babylon, Assyria, the Hittites, whoever built Gobekli Tepi in the late Stone Age. Natufians, more than likely, or some other nameless equivalent following the last Ice Age (the Younger Dryas period was roughly 14,000 years ago. ). Like I said, More than 10,000 years. 12,500 years, to be as exact as we’re able to reasonably determine with currently state-of-the-art methodology.
In short, the people of the Middle East ain’t NEVER lived in peace for very long, because everybody else wants to own the place. It’s the Middle of the World, so to speak, so in addition to the people who just want to live normal lives there and be left alone to peacefully raise their families keep getting attacked and conquered by greedy bastards who want to control the while world all at once, like I outlined in comment 240780.
Thinking back to the hellishly doomed choice between Trump or Biden I am reminded of the old trick of getting people to accept a bad choice without complaint by giving them the chance to free themselves from one that is even worse. People chained to a post in the cargo hold of a sinking slave ship will typically accept a shitty seat on an overcrowded leaking lifeboat without complaint. To a man whose daily diet is hot steaming moose turd, maggoty roadkill can look like a banquet.
People have been fighting over this real estate for AT LEAST 10,000 years, so I’m not very surprised that Netanyahu and the rest of the ZioNazis are fighting over it now.
Do not be so distracted by the explosions and mass killing that you lose sight of the fact that it is the SAME real estate that all of their adversaries are fighting for AGAINST them. Takes two to Tango, ya know?
There’s a reason for the never-ending bloody contest, and it is a compelling reason.
That region of the world is the MIDDLE of the world.
If you drew a scatter chart of the best places to live, survive and perhaps even thrive in the world, and combined it with it’s twin chart of the fastest, cheapest, easiest & most efficient (i.e. “best”) trade routes between those best places, you would be looking at the greatest concentration of dots and lines smack dab in THAT region. The “middle” of the world.
This is so long term and absolutely real that it has shaped the very genome of the human species.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to control the world without controlling that region, so when that middle zone flares up yet again, for the millionth time, you can be assured, with the most incontrovertible certainty, that SOMEBODY is making a play for controlling the Whole World At Once, Entire.
If you have any bright ideas about persuading those assholes to stop doing that, please do let me know.
For starters, you’ll notice that the assholes doing it are obsessed with control, because at the end of the day they know that they will never have total control, and the desire for it has driven them crazy. Satanically crazy.
But yeah, guilty, I think Trump is better than Biden. Chastise me. Spank me.
Thinking that Trump is better than Biden is 100% equivalent to thinking that Ted Bundy was better than Jack the Ripper.
I’m just deeply relieved that Ilargi is openly confessing to deliberately seasoning and stirring the TAE Potpourri based on his own thinking (as humanly mistaken and foolish as that might be) rather than being captured by the nefarious “THEY!” (which possibility terrified us all.)
Fear not! Stand down. Relax. He’s just the same well intentioned mistaken fool that he has always been, for which we love him because we’re all just like that our own selves.
Whew.
