    “What do you call someone who had a comfortable life on a beautiful horse farm, surrounded by family and friends, and then leaves it all behind to barnstorm the planet with a call to arms? Working long days, running from one event to the next, maybe getting 4 hours sleep per night in strange hotels, receiving death threats, enduring attacks, losing long-time associates and friends?”

    Don’t be silly. He’s a grifter. He’s doing it for the money and the high life on easy street. Chad on Twitter said!

    United Nations’ refugee agency says 3.5 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion.”

    Um, aren’t there only 40M people in Ukraine? So you’re saying 1 in 10 are out of country? And therefore are IN a country, like Poland or France, that imports food from a nation that’s now closed to them.

    “Why are many on TAE so obsessed with those that wear masks?”

    Meh, it’s just a coarse measure of who’s still afraid of Covid. I don’t think there’s a lot of painting dust in the grocery. I don’t care if they wear them, just know they’re anti-science. Masks have provably no effect and their own lockdown + masks had a 1.5% effect. And that’s fine, most people have been anti-science, whether Christian or Progressive, most of my life. No change, just tracking the local winds now that we have a visible yarmulke or hajib to check.

    RaboBank: “Yes, I’m talking about price controls, rationing, and barter, countertrade, and offsetting. Yes, I’m serious. No, traditional balance-sheet analysts are not considering this.”
    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rabobank-we-are-seeing-struggle-new-world-order

    Price controls = endless shortages. No Capitalism.

    “Yet if we are seeing a struggle for a new world order,”– RaboBank. He means in currency. However, Biden just re-iterated he’s trying to start WWIII for the New World Order. “…we are at an inflection point… there’s gonna be a new world order out there and we’ve got to lead it…” Of course no one believes him, because: I dunno. Denial when he tells you directly? Because everything else he says is a lie? So when he tells you, it’s not true. When he doesn’t tell you, it is true. So we just make things up here, project whatever we want? A: Yes. Reality doesn’t matter, has no effect on anything? A: Yes.

    Rabobank ends with “But not if the world order is being restructured. We are talking about sanctions, tariffs, price controls, rationing, and of barter, countertrade, and offsetting: don’t tell me capital controls can’t be part of that hypothetical package if that is what is required to maintain leadership of the free world.”

    Who would want to be “Leader of the Free World”? And why? Isn’t that an Empire, and against everything America stands for?

    “GOP-Led Maryland and Georgia Suspend Gas Taxes as Democrats Ironically Embrace Similar Federal Cuts”

    Does that mean low gas prices are good for people and Democrats now? Low TAXES are a good thing now? Not gloating here, my question is, “Okay, now what do you do about the enormous REVENUE hole?” You weren’t bankrupt 100x over already, ye states?

    Reality optional: Nothing we do has cause and effect. No consequences! It’s all just random where nothing is my fault!

    “Bill Barr: Joe Biden “Lied to the American People” about Hunter’s Laptop”

    And Barr was in charge for the whole year the FBI had the laptop, and during the time Congress was impeaching for Ukraine while not presenting the material evidence on the laptop. Cheeky monkey. Shouldn’t you go arrest yourself now?

    NATO to Draft Statement Warning China against Aiding Moscow”

    These guys seem to have a weird delusion they’re in charge of something.

    “Biden Meets with CEOs to Discuss Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Price Increases”

    Joe meets with his real owners, who are now corporations but prosecuting a foreign war at the expense of their business, profits, and shareholders. #Capitalism! Yes, that is a legally removable action; no one will remove the Directors involved. They also make up an interlocking 80% of the US market cap.

    Fox: What is this nonsense? We’re talking about Ukraine and they want to discuss emotional, pejorative non-words like “Hero”? JHC, we can’t define “Hero” on a normal day. If a girl goes into a burning house to save her cat, is she a hero? Or an idiot? If a cop makes a traffic stop and gets shot at, is he then a hero? Or a victim? Do people not know how stupid and useless they sound? What’s the progress in bringing up unactionable navel-gazing irrelevancies like this when there’s a war on?

    This is why Lavrov and Putin refuse to meet until the other side can be made to be serious people. That could take lifetimes.

    So heroes stash billions of their desperately-poor nation’s money in Panama now?

    But Nawaz has a point: the original Nazis, that is Hitler and his party, were fighting for “Democracy” as well. Al was democratically elected. The people supported his platform.

    Ukraine’s Propaganda War: Int’l PR Firms, DC Lobbyists and CIA Cutouts (MPN)”

    How are we not at war with Russia? Congressmen said – breathless – there are Russians, RUSSIANS I tells ya! In Ukraine! Yes the Wagner private security group. So we should kill them there, and worldwide. When you say “We”, Congressman, you mean “The United States, officially” needs to enter Ukraine and kill Russian citizens? Again, how are we not at war? Because #OppositeLand. And people both believe we are Ukraine, and we are different from them, it’s our war but their war, and we are at war on behalf of Ukraine, and we are not at war at all, but Ukraine is going it alone.

    All things are true! But also false! This is what you can expect from a nation that can’t tell men from women. There are no rules, no definitions, no order. The law is power. Power is the only reality.

    Oh and P.S. as above, they’re all private corporations. So A) Private corporations can blow billions of shareholder money and not be sued now? And B) Private corporations can make decisions and incidents of international scale, enter war zones, support war materials, traffic arms, on behalf of the U.S., and the government says nothing? Okay then, I’m sending Goya to throw their whole fortune supporting Syria. Think that would stop? In a 20-nation bloc that is so anti-free-speech you can be de-banked and arrested for donating $50 to a legal protest? Uh-huh.

    “Newsweek: “Heartbreaking [fake] images, [from video games, Australian firefighters, Beirut, and Georgia] make it easy to focus on the war’s damage…”

    Maybe real footage, honest and not fabricated would be less heartbreaking. I guess we’ll never know.

    “Biden Team: More Russia Sanctions Will Be Announced this Week (DM)”

    Yay! Russia gets stronger. The US$ dies. Thanks, Joe! Oh, along with all the poor people. I’d say Democrat voters, but that’s no longer true. Democrats are now PMCs, the party of the poor has shifted to Republicans.

    “National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan” Wasn’t he just in trouble for subverting all elections and all democracy? Here in the U.S.? But he’s spreading the same love of rigged, protected class, anti-democracy abroad as well.

    The president will also unveil additional help for refugees and for civilians inside Ukraine, many of whom are trapped in besieged cities,”

    Maybe you missed this in weasel-speak, but he’s saying we are transporting direct aid to Ukraine, within the borders of Ukraine. How are we not at war with Russia? And how do you plan to do this without being blown to smithereens?

    “starve funding from his war machine.” Shows the water they’re swimming in: does he think Russia is funding their war machine with loans from abroad? Like we do? How are you going to starve a completely domestic operation with [illegal] sanctions [that are an act of war]?

    P.S., why would Russia rule out using nukes? Why would the reporter ask such a dumb question? Does she think what they say to her is legally binding? These guys live in a fantasy world I don’t understand.

    “the one million people killed — 400,000 of whom were noncombatants — by our invasions, occupations and aerial assaults in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan.”

    Actually, I’d be surprised if it weren’t well over 6 million, but sounds like the world war has started! The U.S. under George Bush started it. So Ukraine is a battle that is a RESPONSE to an aggressive world war of total conquest by the United States. And we’ve said so. And we’ve said it’s a “New World Order” like 100 times, with Bush, but including Biden only yesterday. McCain for instance said the U.S. was going to prosecute war for 100 years. Was he kidding? Why would you not believe him when he tells you this, openly on camera?

    “Pfizer received 42,086 adverse event reports that included 1,223 deaths. The first really large tranche of Pfizer documents — some 10,000 pages — was released by the FDA March 1, 2022.”

    Yes, but like the politicians above, if they tell you, directly, using official documents and channels, it’s NOT true, whereas if they DON’T tell you, it IS true. That’s just common sense. Twitter Sense™.

    So doctors, VAERS, Vps of Pfizer, official documents of Israel, Ireland, UK? All liars. Pfizer’s own documents and discoveries? Also all lies. Chad at Twitter is the only truth. We will have no gods before Chad. Anyone like to explain this otherwise?

    “Just because Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the new Fauci, it doesn’t mean COVID is over.”

    No but I guess I feel it’s too late to save anyone now. They’re already dosed, for whatever that does, and already been communicated with. If at this point, they continue, should I stop them? They will die. I will tell them if they ask, and we need food.

    “And Poland’s tale might not carry much weight if he weren’t Dr. Gregory Poland — a globally respected physician who has dedicated his career to vaccine study”

    So you’re saying if there were thousands, hundreds of thousands of other such complaints, no one would look into them, no one would care, they’d say all 200,000 of them were liars? Yeah, we know.

    As a physician who’s taken an oath to first do no harm, I think about these things,”

    However, he is very, very slow on the uptake and believes everything multi-billion dollar corporations, convicted felons, for mass-murder, tell him. When the VP of the same company tells him he’s right.

    “You have all these rights if you are vaccinated,” an interviewer asked. “That is what it is. Yep,” Ardern stated,”

    Yes, I’m saying half of New Zealanders no longer have any rights or humanhood. Suck it, morans!

    And when she says this, openly and on camera? Apparently we do NOT believe her? Otherwise what is with our reaction?

    The post-Cold War spread of e-commerce allowed companies to treat the world as both toxic waste dump factory floor and marketplace slave market.”

    “and has also led nations to rethink their approach to national stockpiling.”

    Stockpiling? Leave it to governments to die before realizing what “Productive” is, compared to “Parasitical”. You can’t “stockpile” your way out of a 20-100 year cycle, dummies. They will die rather than help support Workers of the World, productive people who create things. Because #AntiLogos, #AntiLife. Why would they care? No consequences fall on them, maskless at 5-star restaurants, while the valet fuels up the car.

    “not the first time in Harris’s political career that she had fallen short of sky-high expectations.”

    A politician who openly slept her way to the top? Who knew she wouldn’t be strong, capable, and meet expectations? A lady who rounded up innocent black kids for for-profit prison companies? Who knew she would have no morals? Shocking, I tell you.

    More’s the problem, Joe needs to have an accident to get Hunter’s corruption in A) China and B) Ukraine out of the news. But they can’t since Kamala is so hated, and so incapable they would shoot their own cause in the face by allowing her anywhere near the public. They already reportedly tried killing her a few times, and as they said of Quayle, “She’s the President’s bullet-proof vest.” However, that leaves problems as it’s not just succession, they THEN need to get Pelosi in, THEN need to vote in Hillary or Michelle, (you can tell because the DNC have PR-puffed no other talent) and THEN solve the Speaker of the House problem. It’s a nightmare.

    But that’s what happens when you choose even MORE psychopathic personalities than ever before, who EVERY VOTER hated passionately, even the “black” and “Asian” ones – ostensibly the whole reason she was there. She couldn’t even be a DNC token minority down on the plantation correctly.

    I don’t mind. I’m glad they’re in a bind and waste all their time on this.

    “SCOTUS Nominee: Lighter Sentences Pedophiles b/c Internet Makes It Easy (ZH)”

    They all are. But when they tell you directly, the people say “No they’re not: you’re crazy (because I haven’t looked).” Essentially saying: “There’s no such thing as pedos. No such thing as blackmail. And certainly never in Congress, in the history of all America.” …While the NYC sex trial implicates judges and congressmen on the very same day, three years after Epstein and Nexium. RBG was worse than this. In her book it says she A) Wanted sex work to be legal. Fine, a progressive principle, right? Why is it illegal to sell what you can give away for free? But she also wanted B) the age of consent to be lowered to 14. What does that tell you? Sex trafficking for 14 year olds. RBG was for it. What can I say? I didn’t make her do that; she did it on her own.

    Since all this USED to be illegal – for 200 years – and then the USSC suddenly said “[Slap] What are we thinking? Obviously Jefferson and Hamilton MEANT to say all this pornography, and its creation ought to be LEGAL!” in 1970, they just made it up. They were for it. So they can go ahead and UN-make it up, if they wish. Somehow…hmmm…it seems, maybe, sorta, cultures have noticed this has bad, harmful, decaying, corrupting, undermining effects before? Which is why it’s illegal everywhere? Always has been? And sex is highly regulated by social custom? Everywhere? Over all time and space? No? Nobody’s ever noticed that before? Must be just me.

    And here I thought we had CONGRESS to make the laws, and AMENDMENTS to pass if we wanted to change things, not federal judges. My bad. A misunderstanding. It’s the people we DON’T vote for that make laws. That’s Democracy!

    The kind of “No-vote” “Official coup” “all opposition is illegal” “arm the Nazis” democracy we fight, die, and pay for overseas. And here at home!

    Exactly one month since Ukraine.

    “Ukraine Can Hold out as Long as West Keeps Supplying Weapons: Former UK Intelligence Chief”

    It’s not the weapons, it’s the will to fight. They have to believe in something. Do they?

    “Tesla Megapack Gets Massive Price Hike Amid Soaring Inflation”

    We’ve warned this back when. It depends on a cheap, universal, globalized commerce. What was it, they move 22,000 tonnes of ore to make one electric car? Yeah, that sounds sustainable.

    Is it REALLY so hard to just make do with less? Conserve and produce local? No, it makes more sense and is more efficient. But then you wouldn’t have financial middle men collecting tolls worldwide for doing nothing. Hugh Smith comments on this and their outsized gains, gradually increasing over many years.

    It is a shame Malone has to move on from the local question he is qualified for in Covid, to the large question of government, intent, and totalitarianism, but here we are. Without adding those factors, we are blind. And he is qualified for them. He is a citizen, as we all are.

    “Kremlin Rejects Proposed Zelensky-Putin Meeting (ZH)”

    Lavrov was clear on Putin’s position: Ukraine calls all kinds of meeting with all kinds of new ideas, new formats, to endlessly delay and waste everybody’s valuable time and talent. Act to prove consent to at least the Minsk accord and they’ll probably meet with you shortly. Until then, I agree: we keep the low-level people talking with open channels, and the big guys can go get real work done. Instead, Ze says “Fight to the last Ukrainian” in Maripol.

    All it takes is the most cursory read of the top people to know that. The West is incapable of it.

    The United States rejects efforts by (Chinese) officials to harass, intimidate, surveil, and abduct members of ethnic and religious minority groups,”

    …While harassing and oppressing religious minorities at home (Christians and Jews). And keeping some groups in solitary for a year pending trial. And hosts active war criminals in the country, applauding them on The View, such as Bush, Cheney, Albright, and more.

    If they have such strong views, boycott Chinese goods and remove their Most Favored Nation status. Oh wait: that would be Trump’s platform, again.

    ““western representative democracy” collapsed under the weight of COVID-19 and was replaced with unilateral authoritarian emergency power.”

    It didn’t collapse, It was murdered. Over all our objections. And the only alternative we had to that was open rebellion and civil war which the people aren’t taking yet.

    Of course “Democracy” we must pay EXTRA donations above all our taxes of a billion dollar there to are for a nation that outlaws all opposition parties, grabs and nationalizes the media, and starts a citizen-crushing war. While installing nationwide panopticon of IT tracking with virus ID cards, etc. So yes, exactly what we want here. Ukr is ourbeta test of tolerance and love.

    “The U.S. has no one capable of sailing its ship of state, no one in a position of influence”

    This is what they said of the failing Soviet Union. No idea who was in charge or what they were doing, so there was an industry in “Kremlinology”, figuring what was happening by who visited and what ties they were wearing. So as Orlov says, we’re “Closing the Collapse Gap” in mirroring the Soviet failure. Of State Socialism.

    “The powerful nation has no need of diplomacy.”

    In a way, yes. But we never used to do this. They’re all useless inbreds. Remember only a few years ago, Baker and the old guard put out a warning to the young kids that they were failing and misbehaving? That it wouldn’t work and their 100 year plan would be ruined? And were summarily ignored. Also there are plenty of diplomats and others with good ideas hanging around. They’re just ignored and expelled.

    Reminds me of today’s chilling article on law schools, “The Takeover Of America’s Legal System (Sibarium)” who now graduate people who don’t believe in law, equality, or right to legal defense. If a person is a “bad man” then we don’t go represent them and find out. We telepathically know it, as a statement of mass faith, with no need to find out. It’s the same here: we don’t talk, we tell you. This is the universal approach of all PMCs. Administrators. Apparatchiks. Submit or Die. We don’t have peace talks, because there’s nothing to negotiate. Submit or Die. Or since you rebelled, just: Die.

    A Vietnam pilot was on radio yesterday, saying from then, if you go into war, you should be able to describe what winning is. So he asked to his fellow men back then, what’s “winning” in Vietnam, what does it look like? When do we go home? A: “I don’t know.” And so it turned out there although the point was making money and cracking the U.S. currency. We left still not knowing and Vietnam is capitalist today. No Dominoes.

    So what is “Winning” in Ukraine and Russia? When do we know we’ve done it? When do we go home? See last week’s 30-point plan of complete, eternal annihilation of Russia, nationally, militarily, culturally, personally. I’m sure they’ll agree to this. Why not? See how great the Western system is to our own poor, workers, and minorities?

    “three gymnasiums to accommodate 600 people,” With numbers like this, there must be a serious war indeed. How will they cope?

    And why would they care, I ask for the 500th time, if Germans are vaccinated, they’re all safe. If the refugees don’t want to, are you going to put them in solitary, tie them and their kids down and make them? A: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! They need to be saved from themselves!!! Mommy knows best.

    Or as from Fascism yesterday, its essence is Groupthink. That we’re all one people with the UniIdea™ of the UniParty™. But these sad refugees spurn our offer to be part of the High School Girls Clique. This cannot be tolerated. Hell hath no fury as a Jr. High School girl scorned.

    However, they are “allowed” to be apprehensive. If you’re black, for instance, or whatever, then the rules are different and it’s okay. If you’re White, but abused by the system, tested on, your whole county erased with that open coal mine, you’re not allowed. “Because I said so.” –Mommy. Btw, “Learn to Code.”

    More VAERS-Reported Vaccine Deaths In Our Military Than COVID Deaths (Blaze)”

    Discuss? Or do we want to comment on drugs that are entirely safe with near-zero recorded deaths?

    “As another guy killed himself after he was told ‘he would not receive a fair trial in this town’.”

    He was murdered. No one was arrested. What part of “Speedy Trial”, with “access to prosecutorial evidence”, and lacking “Cruel and unusual punishment” i.e. torture, do they not understand? Those are all VERY SERIOUS crimes. Felonies, of Civil Rights level. That is, some of the most serious violations possible. Ones that end the very contract between people and state. As said, the people, being incredibly tolerant, are not up to starting an open Civil War over it. Yet.

    “By 2024, the US may be a complete disaster. You want to inherit that?”

    Yes, it’s very easy to solve. Stop being stupid and trying to kill and oppress everyone. Let’s see, last time with no power, nobody following orders of any kind, best minority employment in decades, low gas prices, energy independent, reviving manufacturing, no wars.

    “Barr: Biden ‘Lied To The American People’ About His Son Hunter’s Emails (NYP)”

    …And I did nothing about the hundreds or thousands of felonies involved. Plus a bunch of other known crimes! And still not doing them today. Or ever!

    Hey would that be cause for asking Ukraine to maybe look into it?

    I apologize for my outburst.

    I think we’ve been at this two years, three months. You say, “I have a study”. I say I have a study. You say, “My study has a doctor.” My study has a doctor. “My study was published in a respectable outlet.” My study was published in a prestigious outlet.

    So what’s the difference? “But mine was posted on Twitter.”

    Yes, and mine was posted on Twitter.

    With so many differences between us, I can see why you’re so certain of your case. I finally got frustrated and lost my cool. 27 months of “are we there yet?” can do that. It’s a lesson to me to be kinder and find new ways.

    “Vaccine Effectiveness Hits as Low as Minus 300% – as UKHSA Announces it Will No Longer Publish the Data”

    Were this true, your same studies and same scientists are killing everyone. The Twitter Army, upvoting and censoring, is helping them. Comments?

    End of aircraft carriers is why I refer to them as floating tin cans. The jets on them are 50 years old, developed in the 70s, with technology of the 30s. The best thing to do is to float them to port and scrap them now while you can get something for the metal. But they need to sink them and kill all the men as a rallying cry for war. Or were going to.

    Now it’s “War for…?” They can’t win even if they mobilize and get buy-in. Or not with anything we’ve seen. Not even the Aurora flying delta wings, rumored to be in space.

    Cheney was right, we should have nuked them in the 90s. Hillary was right, we had a last chance for a deadly, planet-leveling conventional war in 2015. Now it’s too late. Good men encircled them both and stopped them. Remember the US diplomat to Saudi who put down her career to stop Cheney months before W left? That happens with regularity. Good men do not do nothing; they do what they can.

    Amazing. 10,000 pages of records from Pfizer that they knew the non-vaccine product had piles of hazards, pages of evidence they hid it all, months of data with hundred thousand injuries, 40% increase in under-40 deaths, and nothing. Yet this is just what we morons all said and predicted, appears to being substantiated now. Not worth a a single comment.

    IVM, which is at the worst harmless, and sides keep posting studies with problems — you know, like the completely, totally, embarrassingly fabricated-by-adult actors, IN THE LANCET — but also after where that they give it on the death bed and can’t figure why it has a low Lazarus rate, or this one one with the opposite, where a study has details that need follow up. LIKE 100% of all studies ever.

    So when WE post a study that needs follow up, it’s meh, but YOU post an identical study that has similar issues and PARK THE HORSES!!! It’s PROOF. Forever and ever!

    Now do you really not understand the concepts of logic, justice, equanimity and parallelism? No, you do. Humans are born with that. For some reason you have to come to my house, and talk to me about a subject I don’t care about, no one was talking about, and no one will change their mind about.

    Why? If you’re lonely shouldn’t you pick a better way, and say hey, friend, would you like to talk? Would you like the build a snowman? What do you think of the big beautiful world? No. You drop into my house to say, “Hi. You’re all still morons. And I’m super, thanks for asking.”

    Why? Not information. Not changing minds. Thanks for giving us no information though. ‘Cause I’d have to follow your post down the Twitter rabbit hole post, down the science study post, down the science-argument boards, to get any idea if that “You’re a dummy” is right or wrong. If that’s what’s provided, I don’t have time.

    The new Pepe Escobar article delineated some of the “stolen” gold. That is, transferred to London in the last few months and sold (to fill the fact London has no gold). Russians will now have something to point to that the West is trying to rob them, the Russian Central Bank is the key culprit and run by the IMF/West, and therefore hardship is welcome in service of expelling them. This has also been communicated worldwide, specifically to the Global South, that your reserves are worthless as they will be stolen/frozen by the U.S. the instant they are needed. So why bother booking and saving them? Shouldn’t bother. Same plan as here. Get them to over-extend and reveal themselves so public opinion is irreversible. Hurts though, but life always hurts if you’re stupid.

    What does this tell the world? Buy gold. Dump the untrustworthy, non-rules-based dollar.

    However, prices can’t rise until London falls. We already have shortages in the metals supply constantly and the prices never change. They even go DOWN when supply stops. Capitalism! No supply, infinite demand, and no price changes, no markets.

    “Chinese Amb. to U.S. @AmbQinGang, 9 mins, 23 interruptions”

    Now that’s respect. When I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you. #OppositeLand, where we listen and learn by talking!

    “Zelensky Nationalizes TV News and Restricts Opposition Parties (Week)”

    Now that’s the “Democracy” we’ve been hearing so much about! We banned the major opposition! Just like Democrats are banning Republicans right now in many candidates in many places. I guess support for Azovs was falling, perhaps by banning every party except them they can gin up a little more support for the NeoNazis and keep those war crimes rollin’.

    Zelensky Warns of WWIII If Negotiations with Russia Fail (Hill)”

    Hahaha. Not if we do absolutely nothing about the invasion. Which is exactly what we’re going to do. Joe and McCain told you they had your back? Yeah they say that to everyone before they stab you in it. How you didn’t notice over the last 50 years, starting with the Hungarians and yesterday with the Kurds just shows how dumb you are. This is like being surprise that you jump in the water and get wet.

    The peace dividend of the Cold War has been squandered.”

    Yes but We the People get the peace dividend. “They” get a war dividend. Any questions about what happened?

    “Russia’s GDP is no larger than the combined economies of Belgium and the Netherlands. That makes it all but impossible for Russia to sustain a major conventional war,”

    Wow Roach is as dumb as all the other economists. Does he need a helmet and a social worker? I could ask, if mothers take care of their children instead of Day Care, no GDP is recorded. Does the work not happen? Which process happens better? But let’s put it another way: is Roach claiming that – since GDP is power – Russia couldn’t conquer Belgium and the Netherlands? Or is it that Belgium can so easily conquer Russia? Use your head Stephan. That’s what it’s there for.

    Why is the yuan only used in 2.7% of global transaction despite being 14% of the world’s GDP?”

    Because China has said they don’t WANT to be the reserve currency? And commenters are either illiterate or demand that that China use it, plan it, promote it, and China is a big, stupid nobody you can interrupt 23 times if they don’t do what we say?

    “Reserve Currency” leads to “Triffin’s Paradox”. –Which is not a paradox at all, but nevermind. Since trying to make your domestic currency the world currency destroys your nation, why would China want that? Are they completely dumb and part of decades-long death cult on a tireless suicide march like we are?

    Anyway, the point is NOT the Yuan, but that we have a multi-polar world. If it’s not ONLY the dollar, then there is no “Petrodollar.” That’s past tense but the system is large and takes time.

    And why would they? The dollar just showed they are untrustworthy, so you can’t invest in in UST’s. In a currency that’s losing 8% – 25% a year. The “Petro” didn’t matter that much. It was what you INVESTED in, which used to be the US Treasuries. That’s the other more important leg.

    “mentioning that the conservative news outlet is “one of the oldest newspapers in the country.”

    Yes, it was founded by Alexander Hamilton. However, the NY Post is “conservative”? Uh, whut? Like the way NY City is “Conservative”? That is to say, not at all? Not a little bit. Never has been. Is not now, never likely to be in any future? And everybody knows it? That kind of totally, 100% complete #Opposite coming out of your hole?

    Yes! That’s because “Conservative” means “somebody I don’t like (and want to smear).” That’s it. That’s what words mean. Like “Racist”, or “Nazi.”

    When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone,it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ The question is,' said Alice,whether you CAN make words mean so many different things.’ The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty,which is to be master – – that’s all.’”

    The only purpose of speaking is to LIE. Why bother otherwise? The point of speaking is to GET ME POWER. Over you. And take your power away. So it’s easy and a given that words mean whatever I feel like at any given moment, in any given sentence. Then they change, reverse again next sentence, next moment. Like the word “woman”, who we protect because: victim, until we don’t protect and oppress them and methodically remove their spaces and safety because “No such thing as ‘woman’.” Both. And Neither. These are contradictions, and if you disagree with either – as you must according to the law of reality – we will attack and kill you. Because: power. Attacking is power. Erasing you is power. Obedience is power. Fear is power. Stealing your words and power is power.

    The Point of Power is Power. The goal is MY boot grinding the human face forever. ME. Because: Power. It’s its own reward.

    “Still haven’t seen one government promoting vit. D. Criminal.”

    To the contrary: they OUTLAWED Vitamin D. With the universal house-arrests. And covering every inch of skin if you could go out.

    “Hi Pierre Kory, your account has been locked out of Twitter…”

    So they’re going to lock Biden’s account now? Psaki’s? The NY Times’? CNN? Politico? How about Clapper, Brennan, Fauci? They are all the top purveyors of disinformation lo these many years. Yet the provably false misinformation is not only not locked, IT’S STILL POSTED AS FACT on their sites and articles.

    The article “Easily verifiable” NY Times. Yes. The laptop – wherever it was from or whoever made it available – was instantly verifiable as real emails using child-level cryptographic email keys. I mean like you take the emails, you paste them into a website, and Google tells you “Yes, this is a real email from Hunter Biden.” Then could care less where the laptop came from or why.

    Even glue-sniffing crayon-munchers from Columbia could do it. If they didn’t, it was as completely on-purpose, political calculation, as actively voluntary as claiming they don’t know how to use a telephone. …Which they also claim, every day. Experts!

    No one cares. Reality is optional! Reality a la carte, whatever I say it is, whatever I want it to be, from sentence to sentence. Power. Which is to be Master. That is all.

    Following Armstrong here, Europe is collapsing of economic mismanagement, they are stealing the pension funds to pay for an army. That’s how we get peace! Of COURSE they steal the pension funds. 100% of the time in history. And for some reason, the old people, who have nothing left to lose, let them get away with it.

    “Germany to Begin Confiscating Guns” –Armstrong

    This is breathtaking considering they are doing this after watching Ukraine. …Showing they don’t’ care about the people, or even about winning, only about killing the people and keeping their own fortunes. …Didn’t Vlad just have a statement on this to his own countrymen?

    Now why would any peace-loving citizen need to defend himself?

    “Will programmable central bank digital currencies be successful?
    ANSWER: Reliable sources are saying that they intend to (1) cancel all paper currency, (2) confiscate all cryptocurrency, (3) impose rationing, (4) wage World War III. Will CB digital currency be successful? Yes and No.”

    So we’ve heard. They’ll try three different attempts before something sticks. It won’t be from government as nobody trusts them. Outlook on corporations not good either.

    “They will do everything in their power to attack black markets. They will fail in this endeavor for everything relies upon the power grid. If an adversary takes out less than 10 strategic power stations, the grid will fail and so will all money transactions.”

    Well, yeah, but that’s true under our present system. They’ll look at you slack-jawed to either pay or to make change and no surprise since the IRS would come down on you like a hammer if you dared sell anything and survive that sales day. Conclusion: Oligarchs, Governments and PMCs are trying to kill everyone. Including themselves. Because they are a death cult. The Death Cult is born in the pathology to control everything and unseat God. Leave it alone. Stop helping.

    Rationing brings up something else. Clearly they have no intention of letting the market exist, i.e. “Capitalism”, ever again. And especially the bankruptcy part, except for you. But if you don’t permit markets, that is, price signals, you must therefore have the opposite: shortages. So that’s where we are now, shortages. Things are not on the shelf. The price is $1, not $10 but you can’t buy any, and we’ll never have any again. So enjoy starving with those $1 steaks! (that we don’t stock)

    Weird contradiction here: ain’t nobody going to ration, they are going to blackmarket the crap out of that puppy. At the some time, they are going to be FURIOUS that anyone else is cheating and blackmarketing and will turn them in for even the SUSPICION of getting one over on…someone…and even just falsely saying so for some reason, ‘cause, lies. So the worst of both worlds, as we saw in Covid. I don’t follow any rules for me – I’m clean and good! – but that small business down the street, I’ll DIE if he doesn’t go bankrupt and lose his life savings, by god. I want the full force fo the world government and the Army too on that strip-mall gym. This is the only good and right response of good and right people to support whatever is good and right today.

    That’s what happens with a whole society of people with no charity and no morals. So here we are.

    Anyway: rationing. Price controls. A given, since then they can “give” to their Very Important Friends, and take from the rest of us. Yes, again, like Covid. Everyone loved it, so I don’t see why not.

    “Exclusive-Ukraine has started using Clearview AI’s facial recognition during war.”

    Yes, and so did Russia. They simply use Ukraine’s records to prove who everyone is and murder them according to their record and social media posts. Thanks, boys! And so glad you’re trying to bring it here and worldwide so every other human is equally at risk for tracking and death. By anyone who has the records. Which thanks to hackers + government, is everyone. Remember the National Health losing every medical record of every child in Britain, with all their addresses and phone numbers a few years ago? I can probably buy that data for a nickel.

    This is a very good article this week: https://tomluongo.me/2022/03/18/putin-destined-to-hang-or-drown/

    There’s a lot in it, but one thing is that Putin is gaining popularity and Biden isn’t. That was the gambit right? A war to make Americans rally ‘round? (’round the midterms?) If there’s no pop, then it’s not “ominous” so to speak, but it demonstrates the ground underneath them has altered. The old rules aren’t applying. This is mild, but relevant.

    While we’re doing odds and ends, they pointed out that the reason they have to lie, lie, lie about being bogged down – aside from “Putin Bad” – is to set the premise for NATO’s false flag chemical attack. The one they said they’d use back in 2/22, and about a dozen times a day now with NPR and all the caring, helpful people at the head. So it’s not that they’re wrong, hopeful, misleading in order to keep those donations coming(donations bc they’re so totally broke AND their money-laundering is stopped), although those things are true. So long as they support this story they’re on target to do a fake chemical attack. Hopefully just with some cameras and garden hoses and CNN reporters sniffing the Sarin weapons for evidence.

    But that also they’re broke, thus the unprecedented ask of donations, and they’re broke in their own blackmail, the payoffs that control the whole DERP system.

    Somewhat alarmingly, and I know Putin knows this, is “Lindsey Graham’s job is to build up the propaganda war to justify NATO’s entrance into Ukraine in the next few weeks.” Gosh I hope not, but that’s not what 100,000 men means. However, they won’t arrive in time.

    But Luango agrees that there is no surrender. It’s WWIII or nothing. Putin either dies with all of Russia, or the West fails and treats for peace, that is surrenders. I know that seems impossible, but that’s what wars are. Somebody fails and leaves.

    “I think a global memetic collapse is in process as I type this. We can’t see it here in the West because we aren’t allowed to. But in parliaments and politburos around the that part that Davos just sees as ‘the help,’ it’s happening. The headlines are coming in almost too fast for anyone to keep up with.

    This is what happens when fearful men become cornered. Davos is cornered. The drowning man will do everything to keep from drowning, including drowning his rescuer.” –Luongo

    “Clip of Biden Boasting He Proposed NATO’s 78-Day Airstrikes On Belgrade Goes Viral in China”

    Speaking of “War Criminals.” Is the statute of limitations still open on this one? I’ll nominate him. Better than the Nobel Prize.

    Joe Biden united the world? You mean against America and the West?

    “That headline is still online today, even though the letter clearly says they don’t know if it’s Russian disinformation. That headline was tweeted out by legions of Democrats, including current White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, as proof that it was all a con. That tweet also is still up despite being proven false.”

    And until the people stop buying this crap that clearly says right in the body of their paper “THIS IS FALSE”, the agencies can get away with it. Of course it doesn’t help that voting does nothing. First, because we see widespread fraud; second, Princeton demonstrated that democracy vote had no effect on policy; third, because if you get someone different in there they refuse to enact any orders from the people and Executive orders given by the last guy are sacrosanct and can’t be un-executive ordered by the new guy. ‘Cause we don’t wanna and we say so.

    But if the media, the propaganda, were as discredited as they should be, the character of the system would be substantially different: it would be a lot more openly violent and oppressive, as we’ve just seen.

    I don’t think they’re going after Hunter until something terrible happens in Ukraine, like they escalate a WWIII or they collapse and lose. Then the people will be out for random blood and accept it. That’s why the timing.

    I wouldn’t pick those items for Fascism but the simple historical ones I’ve posted already:

    A Fasces is a bundle of sticks, used as a caning rod, but representing that we are stronger together. So Fascism seeks complete social adhesion and unity. And often on principle, preferring social means such as opinion and peer pressure. This has a single unified vision for the country that enfolds private enterprise and government into one body, focused in one direct, and either by, or after, pressuring the people to join. All three as one, including media, church, sports, and everyone else. This is one reason it’s so powerful and why it appears first in the mass-media age.

    Because of the dependence on propaganda and persuasion, it tends to have a charismatic leader to point to, but this is no kingship, it is a group of idealists, progressives, looking to make a utopia for their unified people. Because of peer pressure, the oppression is logical, merely for minorities, dissidents, troublemakers, people who aren’t “Us.” Self-selecting often. And the dissidents are stopping the Great Vision, stopping ME, harming my SAFETY, so quite sensibly they must be dealt with as all nations deal with traitors. If you adhere however, you are richly rewarded for cooperation, helping out your people and country which is a people’s collective.

    Now a feature of the past fascisms were that they Nationalists, and because of belief in nation and people, essentially racists. Not necessarily to kill everyone, but if you are the “best people,” the pinnacle of Progress, or at least self-promoting your people’s interests, then naturally other people’s interests must take a back seat as is well-demonstrated in history, and is a survival of the fittest. As propaganda, they create or refer to their own mythology that tends to be “New Age”, or let’s say non-Christian, but have/had no trouble joining with Christians as they are compliant, and have charity, work, and self-sacrifice that merges well with the same collectivist principles.

    What kills them is the same thing that forms them: Infinite us-versus-them, lack of creativity and dissent, central control, unrelenting self-interest that leads to war, and the realization from surrounding peoples that it’s impossible to live in peace with them. But it is a powerful form of organization that we illustrate all the elements of today. Certainly racism, but even “Nationalism” which expresses for us in our “Western Exceptionalism.” We are the “Developed” nations, the moral pinnacle, and all we do is right. All human progress is culminated in us, and we are the only way it is good, logical, and right to be. We are the UniParty™ headed into the UniFuture™. Anyone who doesn’t think, believe, or sacrifice themselves, their people, their country, and all their resources freely, joyfully to the West™ is a selfish, backward troll, a Race and Belief to which the laws of UniDiversity™ doesn’t apply. There are many colors but only one possible mind and only one thing to believe: “Whatever it is we believe today”.

    TheThing
    https://images.wavetshirt.com/2022/03/elon-musk-i-support-the-current-thing-t-shirt-hoodied.jpg

    The “collectivism” is why Fascism is Socialism, and why it’s “National Socialism” as opposed to the International Socialism attempted by the original Soviet Union: “Workers of the WORLD, unite.”

    However, with the long-admitted merger of corporation and state and the Social Media and voluntary, unprompted peer pressure, this is why WE are a Fascist state, and why we are still resisting them. “We” being America which has the crossed signals of being the head of Western fascism but also the home of most resistance to that head and their principles.

    Obviously I therefore disagree with Dimitrov, but also disagree with Eco. Fascists are “anti-communist” only in the sense that they are “not-us”, a rival, which can never be tolerated. In Ego, no one that isn’t “Us” can be tolerated. And because it is by definition a centralized system, being run generally by the propaganda wing. Therefore you can’t have two heads, and you can’t have centralization if you actually believe in something as ridiculous as actually distributing power to the people. People exist to serve the state, not the other way around, so such idealists must be eliminated. Communists and anyone promoting Enlightenment and the “Rights of Man” are both sworn deadly enemies to centralization and the power of the State over Man.

    Imperialism is also emphatically NOT the opposite of nationalism. That’s why we call it the “Roman” Empire. If you join, wherever you are worldwide you become “Us”, (e.g. ‘Roman’) and part of the nation, and Our people deserve all the things and must historically take them, as history dictates men do. However you can be 10 generations Saxon descended from Wagner and Woden and not be “German” if you’re not “For Us.” You’re not a “True” German but a traitor. Simple. Which is exactly how we in the West behave. If you misgender someone today or oppress women except in sports where you’re required to.

    “Data Scientist Files Internal Appeal of Bank of Canada Vaccination Policy (OCLA)”

    Don’t be silly. There is no “You”, there is only “Us” and what we tell you to do. If you don’t obey the “Us” you are a traitor to be killed. The End. Why are we still discussing this? Submit. Or Die. It’s a free choice. Not coercive at all under the Nuremberg Code.

    whether you’ll be granted a loan, what scholastic curriculum you will follow and even who you will marry.”

    Yes, and all the decisions made by robots on those things are hilariously bad and constantly backfire to complete and utter ruin. The only interesting part is how long people can keep from noticing because they are insulated from consequences and have unlimited energy to burn. Humans are bad at these things it is true, however, computers are far, FAR worse. At nearly everything. I’d say that’s a certain positive, but when they fail they’ll take the rest of us with them.

    So leave the system. Collapse early and beat the rush.

    Was thinking on IVM; where what’s the beef? So it doesn’t work, so what? If so, it’s a harmless placebo. So why get up in the morning and argue against something harmless? Every day for years? And at the same time, no comment on the 6-sigma, 40% increase in non-Covid deaths under 40, starting in Sept 2021. Clearly that is NOT harmless. Amazing what is said and not said. So go on: anyone, anyone, Bueller?

    Every. Day. Addresses one and not the other. As if anyone cares. As if anyone changes their mind. And you wonder why people think you’re a paid bot.

    “Perceptions of War Crimes”[vs Covid]

    This is just a simple chart of literacy.

    “Jim Rickards discusses the ‘unintended consequences’”

    These are just “consequences” since it’s impossible not to be aware of and anticipate them. But as Sowell said, since they have no consequences personally, who cares? Can’t see it from my house. Let other people pay the costs. THis is what they’ve been doing to Flyover since at least NAFTA. One interest group prospers and offloads the political costs on another group. They’re very mad that the group they disadvantaged using political wealth transfer isn’t elated and enthusiastic about their fate. How Dare They.

    Vietnam: I guess those masks and distancing worked, right? I heard all about Asia for years and how they were proof.

    Kunstler has the same idea: we just use Stargates and Enterprise Transporters to teleport it in. Not that shipping trucks would be immediately vaporized from 500 miles away like just happened near Poland. But I just saw the old classic, works every time: They are transporting “Humanitarian Aid” and “Medical Supplies” to poor, sad Ukraine. And that very real medical aid is sitting right on top of that truckload of mostly rockets. And I pop a few kids inside! How Dare You!

    “The Dominance of the US Dollar Is Fading”

    I wonder if they reason Saudi won’t increase oil is because they can’t. That’s sensible, I heard they damaged Gawar etc pretty bad when they over-pumped to crash the USSR. And obviously this will take a long time and be messy. There are steps.

    They talk about “pricing” in Yuan. This must be some market arcana, as I could “price” my eggs in Canadian Dollars or Yuan and it would mean nothing to me or my costs. With Forex, I’m not sure how you wouldn’t “Price” then seconds later own Swiss Francs. This “Pricing” thing was more true in the past. I think it’s a bucket of behavior that means, or to stop losing % in transactions to friction, encourages purchases in US Treasury, the other leg of the business. And of course US Markets. But the “liquidity” is vital for such transactions, because you and I can sell a can of gas, but if you’re Norway and need to move a billion in a few days, you can’t do that in the currency and markets of Paraguay. So it’s not the “pricing”; that’s sloppy thinking. You can do it in Bitcoin, but that will have other scale issues right now.

    Since markets aren’t in “America” but on the “Internet”, maybe we’re multipolar and just sell each in our own, like India is doing.

    That includes the Yuan, which as they say is the size of Switzerland. I think the IDEA of currency is what’s going away, but I’m unclear as to how right now. Possibly instant cost-free conversion between all currencies? A stiff re-valuation would go a long way to unseating it. If the US$ is cut in half, do the others naturally increase?

    “• NATO Calls up 100s of 1000s of Troops”

    Okay, how do you feed those 100,000 men? And for how long? See the problem?

    “Well, we get what we deserve. America voted for Biden,”

    Actually we DIDN’T vote for Biden. Unless you believe 110% of registered Americans voted. And that’s beyond election-rigging using media lies, social media and so on as “Time” magazine gloated after the vote. “Yes, we, a small Cabal of Very Important People, got together and colluded to undermine the will of the people. Suck it.” The people said: “Okay!”

    “Ukraine produced 49.6% of global sunflower oil, 10% of global wheat, 12.6% of global barley, and 15.3% of global maize.”

    Despite what city-reporters write without asking, it’s not planting time yet. And they don’t use (much) fertilizer at planting. However, they have a second problem: I’m guessing a lot of that product leaves using the Ports Russia now controls.

    “• CDC Removes 24% of Child COVID-19 Deaths”

    “We create our own reality” but make up so much fakery it would quickly be over the horizon from reality and people would notice. So like inflation, employment numbers, we go back and “Adjust” them backward in time until they are somewhere more plausible. But never today. Today is a giant anaconda-lump of fakery saying…well whatever we feel like fabricating today, as directed by our Great Leaders. “A world of the eternal present where the Party is always right.” Today we are pretending child deaths fell when last month we were inflating and pretending they were rising. Whatever. If you don’t discredit and remove liars, this is inevitable as rain. They love liars more than life, so here we are.

    I do ask why though, as they’re still on selling the totally unnecessary, deadly vaccine to children to kill them the mostest. Probably for sterility and to Go Green. And you thought the Green-colored Horse of Armageddon was overreacting and didn’t kill people like war or famine. It does if the true believers try hard enough, in their religion of universal death. So what’s up with the change? All children haven’t been injured yet; don’t tell me you’re giving up already.

    From the Twitter above, they’re after all the remaining comedians, starting with Russell Brand. He says things like “war is bad” and “Politicians may be profiting by it; is that a conflict of interest?” We’ll see how long before they memory-hole him and de-bank his 5 million followers.

    There’s a movie about that: Kingsmen. Where they use the cell phone frequency to create a worldwide rage. Books about it: Sea of Glass. And it is rumored to have been used already, in African genocides in the 90’s. Now that was a different mechanism, because they didn’t have the nanotech side of it, but apparently used radio emitters like today’s microwave guns to create a generalized, violent malease. Proof of concept. And so thus moved forward with funding for a worldwide beta version. I’d be shocked if they didn’t. I don’t know what could stop them: the concept is clearly functional, the motive is clear, and they have the money and time. Really, the question is why they haven’t got it operational 15 years ago. Because they’re glue-sniffing morons, I assume. Certainly they are always far less smart than and capable they believe.

    Maybe they do have it now, but only for certain individuals carefully chosen and altered, with tuned equipment, but can’t yet be made generic to everyone without problems. But: all speculation. It’s not like we’ve had national news reports about doctors mistreating and experimenting on people in Quebec and America for just this sort of thing. If they did, I’m sure CNN would tell us and everyone would know.

    Maybe there’s a middle ground: Saudi is a modest oil producer like Chad, but the world still watches them closely. They are also hundred-billionaires, so they still maintain a lot of power. They own the power of the present depleting oil, and it is presumed by those in the know that they will take Yemen. The cost and extent of that war now suggests that they’re in it for more than sport, and that there’s something there. Also they aren’t in a hurry and aren’t bothered, so perhaps it’s an intentional planned genocide of every last Yemeni? The U.N. and Twitter applaud.

    Also “Saudi” is a blanket view for UAE, Omar, etc. who still have a lot of gas etc. So collectively they’re not finished. The CIA – heck, everyone – already tried to unseat Saudi with the MBS wrangle-killing that ultimately involved Kashogi(agent of Muslim Brotherhood), including it is said, the major assassination event in Vegas. If anything tells you the media can have an open, war-level firefight in the streets of a major U.S. city, cameras everywhere, and nothing happened and nobody was responsible, that tells you how complicit the media is and how locked-into the people are. And where’s my D.C. bomber? Just came up that apparently Congresses’ questions have caused the FBI to begin asking. They hadn’t been looking before now.

    “a clearly bullish trend is predicted over the next two weeks”

    Hearing that from my traders too. Seems impossible, but there it is in the charts. Pop answer is that the market already discounted Powell’s fake rate hike that will immediately reverse into stimulus to Infinity and Beyond. Maybe. Or maybe that’s a plan. When it’s like this you have to follow things one turn at a time.

    “NY Times Admits Laptop Is Real”

    Yes, everyone on earth already knows. The real question is “Why now?” And, since the NYT would rather die than tell the truth, how did they get them to print it? Who made that decision? And why on the 17th of March, 2022?

    “Sure Seems Joe Biden Knowingly Lied about the Hunter Biden Laptop Story (NR)”

    Among the many problems. Joe and Psaki both bare-faced lie they didn’t know anything, it wasn’t possible, while there were photos with Joe and the Ukrainians, the Rosemont negotiators every day.

    Usual lie count: About every other sentence. Also NY reporters must live each minute quaking in fear and cry under their beds at night. Every other word was “Fear” “fearsome” “terrifying”, “alarm” “concern” “vulnerable”. Look, I’m not here to read about your personal feelings. I’m sorry you’re afraid of everything in life, but not everyone is like you. Some of us are men, and adults. But in fact children of 10 would not be afraid if you described it to them, a war half the world away, barely going on. So you are more sissy than a child.

    cyberattacks, which have been strangely missing from the conflict so far.” –NYT

    Yes. About that. And the NYT also requests the chemical attacks, which NYT says Russia uses all the time! Daily almost. But this tells you two things: one they were counting on Russia to take down the financial system for them (specifically stated) and they are planning a chemical attack shortly to blame on Russia instead. Least surprising ever. Let’s see if Russia changes up their war approach before the West pulls one off.

    One thing the NY Times did NOT say: anything about the 30 Bioweapons labs Russia presented as verified documents to the UN Security Council. Nothing. No news. Never happened.

    Using their Putin telepathy: “Analysis: Putin’s chilling warning to ‘traitors’ and ‘scum’ is a sign things aren’t going to plan” –CNN

    Is that why The View called for arresting traitors and scum such as Congressmen and service veterans who are pro-peace?

    Who else is anti-peace? YouTube flags Tulsi for too much peace in her videos. It’s only a warning for now, but they’ve got their eye on her if this “peace” thing spreads.

    DemocracyNow has got the message and is presently Pro-War. You see, in order to have peace, you have to have a war FIRST. A BIG war. Like WWIII. Then you have peace. Amirite? War? That’s what “peace” is all about.

    So Putin would not have a monopoly on stupid, selfish, and oppressive. He’s losing the arms race for stupid. We’re the Exceptional Nation and we’re #1.

    Reality check, from Germ’s interview and some articles today, Russia is not cut off much at all. What happens is, WE in the West, U.S. Canada, Western Europe, South Korea and Japan, decide something. Then we say “The World” did it. In fact, China, India, South America, all of Africa, plus a bunch of other countries aren’t participating at all. Which is X GDP and X military depending how it’s calculated but is like 1/5th of global population. So if we had a vote, “the West” wouldn’t make the second run-off.

    That’s important because if you’re embargoing a nation, militarily, economically, you can’t let 2/3rds of the ships through. But then every breath from their pie-holes is a lie. I mean, unless the West is going to intercept and pirate ships headed to India. …Which they have already done.

    “World’s Top-Ranked Tennis Player May Need to Denounce Putin to Play at Wimbledon”

    But we’re sure winning the war on tennis.

    War we’re not winning? Joe is disarming us and leaving us helpless. Draining the oil reserve. I have mixed feelings on this, as that’s what it’s for – to supply during a crisis – but at the same time, what wold normally be a crisis like today’s prices, are not enough when you might be in a LIVE SHOOTING WAR as soon as tomorrow. Then it’s reckless bordering on treason to undermine the nation’s readiness to such a level.

    I had a terrible thought that may be coincidental while musing on the war. The reason Russia and the commodity producers can finally go on strike and regain some power is because if they stop, people won’t eat. Won’t have steel, aluminum, etc. That’s because supply-demand are always at a delicate balance, and we need an abnormal decay in supply — such as destroying and mothballing all of American production and labor — to reach such a point of leverage. So now with no supply, demand is outrageous and Russia can sit easy in the surety of their power.

    But what if there were no people? We can’t stop the war, we can’t get into Russia, but what if the population of the planet, i.e. the demand, dropped by 1/3 before we start the war? Then Russia loses their leverage and are unable to break free as they are trying today.

    So as a war gamer, a strategist, my recommendation is to have 1/3 of our own domestic or worldwide populations die before we start our techno drone-strike missile-war. The kind of war that needs no people. Then we win. What’s better, the population will be both alarmed and most amenable to authoritarianism –clearly – but also not having a large enough body to overthrow us. And as Xi said, “After all this [i.e. Covid] is over we’ll be far richer.” Yes, we take the houses of the 1/3 who die, and the State distributes them to our friends as a payoff, a pressure-relief for the economic pressure everyone is under right now. So really, murdering everyone on earth is logical, essential, and profitable. Because we need to do that before we murder the remainder in the war. What was that Deagle again? Or Alexa answering what Britain’s population will be in two years?

    Gonzalo Lira. This is exactly what I’ve been gathering from the war, and from what any normal, non-insane (that is, non-Western) army would do there, if you follow the very simple path of crediting what Russia has said, what their goals are, and what they need to accomplish. If you don’t believe what they write and just make up random stuff, isn’t that just a conspiracy theory? That I don’t care what the evidence is, what’s in my imagination is what’s actually real. I mean, when you ignore Russia’s official statements, isn’t that what you’re saying?

    Ukraine was massing an army to finish the genocide of ethnic Russians in Donbas. That’s why Joe was signaling the false flag that would kick that off. Russia was massing so they wouldn’t get invaded, would have a lot of refugees there. Instead, of course, Russia – having tracked the Nazi, murdering, ethnic-cleansing Azovs through the whole Ukrainian military over the last 8 years, even down to facial ID and fingerprints – invaded the day before Bandera Day and therefore bottled up most of Ze’s army in about an hour. They of course were dug into Donbass, but positioned for offense pointed south at the time, and not prepared to have half the Russian cavalry in their rear with rocket attacks.

    Same was true in other locations. Obviously Ukraine doesn’t need much army to stop Poland, so the army were all near the Russian border. And since Russia was invading to stop the total genocide anyway, they invaded at some of the other points and flat-footed the remaining army, surrounding it. All supplies cut off. Then? Why be in a hurry? We don’t want civilian casualties. We let them, encourage them, draw them, try to make them shoot off their besieged artillery, waste their bullets, and eat their rations. When those are gone, oh well: The war is over. Then Russia matches them against their 8-year database and shoot the bad guys in the head at a military review, which is standard practice, I think. This leaves the standard Ukrainian army, the usual dog-faces as well as some white hats, intact.
    And that’s exactly what has happened. So far at least.

    “German Chancellor Scholz: NATO Will Not “Intervene Militarily” In Ukraine (DW)”

    Because mouth: lie. Biden openly sent $800M to Ukraine. They are open about sending massive weaponry through Poland. The NYT article above is astonishing in their double-talk that we send weapons to POLAND – and they’d better not attack Poland, mister or I’ll drink another latte and harangue you again – and yet somehow Putin is a coo-coo Nazi to think that the weapons we openly sent, on camera, to Poland, for Ukraine…are somehow entering Ukraine and attacking Putin. Which is what they are for. What a maroon! Putin thinks that the $800M Joe sent for weapons in Ukraine, are somehow become weapons crossing the border to Ukraine! Can you believe that guy? The NYT instead thinks that the weapons arrive in Poland, but then using magic, do NOT cross the border illegally in NATO trucks as an involvement and escalation of war, but magically transmogrify into Kiev using teleportation and Stargate Wormholes.

    But: NY Times. What can I say? They haven’t written a truthful sentence since Sept 10th.
    Germany “Will not intervene”? You mean like those smuggled arms and the full and complete info intel the CIA is providing to the Azovs hosted on YOUR military bases? That kind of intervening? I mean aside from providing and transiting the weapons and money.

    Yes, the sentences are terrible. I have too much to say and not enough time this week to trim it down.

    The next questions are upcoming. The financial attack = zero. Huge chunk of the world is shut off, all profits bonds and flows stop, No substantial change in the West financial system. Russia delivers stunning evidence to the UN Security Council. Nothing. Hunter laptop confirmed real, confirmed involved Joe “The Big Guy” in Ukraine and China specifically. Nothing. 40% increase in youth death. De nada. 4-fold increase in gas prices? Who cares? Powell hikes and promises 7 more? Yawn.

    There is nothing that can happen – nothing – that can lift the hypnosis of our culture. As clearly death has not, I don’t see why hunger should. Does Russia need to nuke us to get our attention? Make us behave seriously? I simply do not know.

    We’re so childish, magical, and psychotic, we think we’re ready to attack China at the same time: “How the U.S. can take advantage of the Russia-Ukraine war to defang China” –MSNBC

    As to counter-moves, first, there is a rumor Russia discovered that the gold they had ready for this financial war WAS STOLEN, shipped overseas on lease-loans for couple extra bucks by their own Russian traders. And they are now in Upper Siberia. That would be a dangerous blow if true, but such is war.

    Next, yes, they are trapped as Turkey surprisingly is against Russia, blocking the straits or threatening to. Syria is somewhat far away. China is an ally, but are they trustworthy? Will they act when they must, when Russia needs?

    And I don’t know we will attack Saudi because Saudi Arabia has no oil. Gawar was at a +90% water cut even 10 years ago and their other fields are as old. That’s why they’re attacking Yemen, a war which is failing and so they can’t pump there either, not even hypothecate the drill holes they can’t make. But the point stands. As Ukraine and Syria had a sudden and miraculous uprising the minute they didn’t side slavishly FOR the West, who is looking for a new miraculous uprising today?

    I’m not sure, because I think they’re too busy. They also seem to have thought their plans would work and they have nothing to fear except to play long and maintain pressure. I wouldn’t want to give them a lot of time though. Their minds are turned to murder and starting new war every minute of every day, and as Biden just showed, think nothing of blowing $800M to start one while ever more citizens live in tents at home. And although poorly supplied right now, that won’t last long. Food can be shipped, leaving America hungry, and weapons can be made and multiplied. There’s a time window where the West must crack or they will wear out Russia’s initiative.

    But Russia cannot back down, even if they must start WWIII. The West and NATO will not let them.

    I can’t get into my email account and may need to create another. I structured this in article form, perhaps it’s worth posting separately:

    The West Is at War with Itself.

    Coverage of the war in Ukraine is very spotty and polarized. The news has been shut off, universally censored in the West, and expelled within Russia and Ukraine. Nevertheless there has been much commentary on it, from The Atlantic, “Foreign Affairs”, CNN, BBC, as well as Wall Street and London traders, geopolitical historians and commentators, and others, but like birds, all following a similar flock with a similar turn.

    Robert Gore is one such article, and better than most, covering Alistair MacLeod’s “Inside and Outside Money”, the mentally-ill childishness of the West, and that regardless of events right now, the outcome is certainly more chaos. https://straightlinelogic.com/2022/03/16/bonfire-of-the-governments-by-robert-gore/

    What’s interesting to me with even smart writers like Gore is that they can’t see the most fundamental background shift. To me, this takes some reading, but these authors have all done the reading and are better informed than myself. It’s not like they’re older or younger, and it’s not that they don’t know it. I’m sure in other articles they describe the fragility of Western Banking, debt-printing system. He does so to some extent within the article.

    Yet somehow Gore – and all the other articles I’ve read these last 4 weeks – miss the most basic item. They believe “Putin made a mistake” and this is not just knee-jerk propaganda, it’s “Our War”, “Ukraine is the 51st State” “Putin is bad M’kay” stuff. They really believe it. Either because of the West’s response, or because they see the West promising to Mujaheddin Ukraine with unlimited weapons and rubbing their fists in glee.

    That certainly is the plan, and a good one. It worked in Afghanistan 40 years ago, even as it never worked at all in Syria last year. These NeoCons behind Nuland and Kegan are now all so old they probably didn’t notice and are proceeding anyway. However, none of their plans in Ukraine will happen for very simple reasons. In addition, Putin knows that was their plan for 10-20 years, as well as to take Ukraine and use it to attack and crush Russia going back to the CARTER administration, i.e. Brzezinski. I mean, really? For the love of Christmas, here? That is to say, Putin and the Russian thinkers happily take the West’s open, public, transparent, unchanging plan and figure out what items must be in place to successfully and safely respond to it. And although they are winning in Ukraine (what else? They have an army 3x their size) that’s not the Russian true field of battle. Nor the tactics the West expected. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand.

    Normally, I’d say Russia thinks differently. They are half Eastern, half Western they say, and when interacting with Europe LOOK like a Europeans, but then respond softly and go around. This makes them appear weak to us even as they talk tough. Maybe that’s why we constantly think they’re bluffing, the way we would, when really Russia could hardly be more straightforward if they tried. Indeed Lavrov’s top complaint in Turkey last week, but going back years now is that he’s telling them directly how things are and what will happen and like goldfish the West, the media, forget a second later and cannot hear, reporting a different, unrelated thing they fabricated, writing what “he thinks” and “what he meant to do” using their Putin-telepathy.

    It’s like this: Russia is going to crush the whole West. But that’s not Russia’s fault: the entire West is so rotten it’s barely been standing for decades now, and certainly since ’08. If not; well, Russia dies. They know this. But Russia will not die because they have been patient and careful and picked a time where the West is badly over leveraged and incredibly past their time. So yes, the West spent billions, possibly trillions at this point to subvert Ukraine and Russia had to respond to them, the West’s armed invasion and takeover of Ukraine, and that’s fine. It’s a ship you can see coming a mile away.

    “Russia responds” means the West’s propaganda will kick in and they will want to start WWIII on them, a total war which Russia probably cannot survive the combined forces of all NATO countries worldwide. So that’s a consideration, and unlike the West, who wants war anyway? Like Britain, Russia essentially has one city, Moscow, and a war will erase it, so there is no reason to take that path.

    Russia is not fighting a “war” they are not “fighting” in Ukraine, it’s merely a minor police action, and that’s the first of things the West doesn’t understand. They think all Russian attention is on Kiev. They wanted all Russian attention and invasion locked in Kiev, and the West was depending on all the camera shots of destruction and dead civilians. I don’t think Russia even wants Kiev, or they would make at least some attempt to approach it. 500 civilians killed I’m hearing? THAT’S NOT A WAR. It’s hardly a police action. Maybe they don’t understand war material in the 21st century, but Russia could have leveled Kiev an the other cities in under 30 minutes including all their 5 million people if they wanted. Russia’s attention is on the real war.

    As the WHOLE WEST, that is, the Anglos running NATO, are fully engaged in attacking Russia and economically conquering it, as Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi say daily “Our War”, to safely stop the war Russia can only attack and disable the WHOLE WEST and NATO in return. Nothing else will do. It’s possible to detente at some point, freeze the conflict, but if the West does not fall, Russia is in danger and will be overrun. So they have to attack the West, a combined UK, Germany, Europe, and America. It appears they do not intend to do this using sabotage, attacks on rails and substations, EMPs. That would merely anger the U.S. for instance and galvanize a deeply reluctant population to support the war no one wants. It’s off the table. Instead, they are merely going around the whole West, in Eastern style.

    What is the West? As Gore says, it’s a CONSUMER. Of everything. They print debt and consume things, net producing nothing. So Russia is passively embargoing them. That’s it. And with some help from China, that’s the whole plan. And it’s worse than that, Russia isn’t even trying to embargo the West. There is no need; the West is using the war to embargo themselves. This is the highest moral good, as Russia can remain completely clean of the matter, being the good guys, offering and having tried everything they could. When wheat, fertilizer, oil, metals, electric, are all shut off across Europe, citizens will ask their governments what happened. Those governments will point to Russia, but it will be no use: it will be plain to see that Russia was selling these life-giving goods to Europeans, and is still trying to sell them to Europe now. It was the European LEADERS, the bankers, billionaires, who refused to BUY them. This will not wash with a cold, hungry public.

    The West is also LEVERAGED. In fact that is the key takeaway from the West, their power, and their Central Banks. They can win wars because they can produce more “gold”, that is, more “money” to throw at an ongoing conflict. But leverage goes both ways. On the way up, 10:1 gets you ten wins for a single ante, a golden goose. On the way down however, the removal of a single ante, one underlying asset, leads to a 10-fold loss. And the West is leveraged not 10:1 but 300:1 and more as Jeffrey Christian points out in a single market such as gold. But this is true as mortgages become MBS as in ‘08, in bond derivatives, in stock market margin levels, in credit cards, car loans, and everywhere else, right down to borrowing, that is, “leveraging,” to buy a cheeseburger and fries in Muncie, Indiana.

    What is leverage? To borrow more than the value of your collateral. What is collateral? Real Stuff. But the West doesn’t make Real Stuff. The Real Stuff comes from others, and to an outsized level, from Russia. To a great extent, Russia is the collateral for the West. The prosperity of Germany, France, BP, Tesla’s Gigafactories, rest on Russian oil, gas, and aluminum. No gas or aluminum, no Gigafactory. No Gigafactory, no $1 Trillion dollar market cap. No $1T market cap, no 36,000 Dow. Poof. And that’s true of Volkswagen, Bosch, Bayer, Jaguar, and the banks that rest on them: DeutscheBank, Credit Suisse, HSBC, Lloyd’s. And the loss of those markets, companies, banks, would not leave New York standing. Morgan can hardly prosper if London, Hamburg and the commodity exchanges fail and stop trading as the LME did this week. They cannot make margins on the Russian banks and Russian trade they are no longer facilitating. They too will fall into a spiral of counter-leverage.

    What is leverage? Let’s say the leverage at 300:1 makes NY and London appear 300x stronger than they actually are. So the end of that leverage makes them 300x weaker than they appear at present. And as we’ve said the bank leverage is what makes them able to field armies and pay for wars. So the end of leverage makes them UNable to field armies and pay for wars. Especially when they themselves refuse to receive all the raw commodity supplies that let them do so. In this structure they are planning to maintain a conflict with no coal, oil, gas, steel, aluminum, titanium, uranium, palladium, neon, and so on.

    So what is Russia doing? Like all colonies, they are the raw material producer to the Imperium; the Empire, and the Empire’s Army. If, like America, they wish to rebel against that Empire, they will shut off the raw materials to the Empire, who then cannot run an effective army.

    This is why they behave as they do. They must go to Ukraine as Biden said in 1994, and as Biden insured with arms, arranged with his policy, and permitted in his words, saying as they did in Kuwait, a small incursion would not be met with force. And should the world remain as it does today, indeed the West would keep the conflict running indefinitely, bleed all of Russia, and kill all the Slavs, of which there are already too few.

    But the world will NOT remain as it does today. In withdrawing, Russia has erased the collateral for the entire West and their banking system. As that echoes through the Western financial system there will be great disorder and disruptive bank and corporate failures. Likewise, they will not have commodities to re-build their own structure as they once did in 1930, or not for a long time. The West has positioned themselves to refuse to buy from Russia, come what may.

    For their part, and being a small country, Russia could not have withstood this lack of commerce, or at the least would have grown a lot weaker, too weak to resist more Western forays into their territory and sphere of influence. That is what took so long. But now, they will not have such a loss of commerce, as they merely sell all the same goods to China, weakening the West even more.

    You see, if Europe doesn’t want, won’t accept raw goods, they get weaker of course. And also the opposite, where if China DOES get them, and at an enormous discount to today’s disruptive prices, obviously China will grow far stronger. How can Europe compete with $3,000 aluminum – or having no aluminum – when aluminum in China is $2,000? They already couldn’t compete before. How can Germany fill their factories with employees eating $20 wheat when China is well-fed and eating wheat at $9?

    It’s the West that is going to bleed with the Mujaheddin, not Russia.

    Going back to Ukraine, if the West wins, all is lost, nothing matters. However, if the West weakens due to worldwide shortages, hardships, banking failures, corporate bankruptcies, currency collapses, then they cannot arm Ukraine as they believe. They won’t have the time, money, or attention to do so. American soldiers will have to return home on a city bus, and not from palatial airfields. In any case, the 100,000 men America has there will be of little use with no food, no supplies, and no supply chain to back them. And if this is so, Ukraine will become Russian, or at least solidly within the Russian sphere of influence again, because will Ukrainians wish to eat, grow crops, have aluminum? Yes, and Russia will look prosperous compared to London at that time, with access to all Chinese goods while the West will not.

    So why would you destroy Ukraine? Or even their people? It’s your own country, and your own people.

    This is what the West doesn’t understand, as we are required to have a blitzkrieg, a Schwarzkopf rush to the great capital, a surrounding army destroying radio, electric, roads, water. Why would Russia ever do that? To win, they will have to “own” Ukraine or be merged with them in some way and would simply have to rebuild it. Same with the people. You need Ukrainians to be for Russia, not against it. So killing civilians – or even the valuable army – is strictly counter-productive. If it were possible, they would be best to harm nothing and kill no one, “The Art of War” writ large, but of course in war that is not possible. However, 500 civilian deaths in 4 weeks of modern war is as close as possible to killing no one, and demonstrates their goals and values.

    This is the cause for the West to say Russia is “bogged down”, they’re losing. They’re not losing, they’re winning. They are saving the lives of fellow Russians, brother Slavs, while nevertheless gaining control of the country. And this without hardship, as the power is on in Kiev and elsewhere, and people are driving, shopping, and going to work. No unnecessary Ukrainians have been inconvenienced. The trains are running on time to Poland and elsewhere. Why would taking a fully intact country be considered a “loss”?

    This is the situation we find ourselves in, and the Russians have been very clear about it. About their needs, their goals, their approach.

    The West is being boycotted. They have embargoed themselves. They are a stark minority on planet earth, taking too much and making too little. The embargo they have placed on themselves will collapse their banking and financial system even as their manufacturers cannot function when lacking raw materials. They cannot rebuild for many years and will go hungry. They cannot prosecute a war in this state, and in any case the people are not in favor of it and will not let them. But there is good news! The West can behave honestly, buy from Russia again, and end their unnecessary war and their own hardship at any time. Both the realization, and the reversal may take some years however, and we’ve only just begun.

    This is what Russia is doing, and why they aren’t worried about Ukraine.

    Powell: well let’s see, we have 100% chance of recession (oil prices) and Powell is raising rates! How’s that your Keynesianism? Or is it anti-Keynesianism, like they’ve been since John Maynard died in ’46? So let’s review: we’ve had a raging, excellent, most perfect economy.

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Mega-monster, panic, Armageddon, emergency, TEOTWAWKI-level 100%, double-red line, smoke on the tires $100-bil-a-month stimulus. Through the re-open, inflation, mega job openings? Redline, smokin’ coke all night, eyes wide, pupils dilated stimulus.

    Inflation rises 800%? Meh. Maybe later we’ll raise. Let’s not be hasty.

    Oil doubles? Gas 4-fold? Guaranteed recession, worse than ‘08, perhaps worse than 1930?

    Man the towers! Raise the rates! We’ve got to crush this economy RIGHT NOW!!! (With .25 rate increase, only 28x more hikes to catch up. If inflation rises 3%/mo, only 160 rate hikes behind by next year.)

    Thanks Jerome. Thanks. What do I say? What did I say about Biden forcing Russia, Jerome calling a meeting a day before Russia? What to I say about lying, thieving, murdering weasels? “It’s not whether you win or lose, but where you place the blame.” 800% rise in prices, recorded LAST month, through February? Blame Putin. He had a time machine, and went BACK IN TIME, and raised those prices on us, in January. That’s what Joy Reid says, and I’m sticking to it.

    Since Brawdo has what plants crave, the people will 100% believe it. And all it took was the murder of everybody in Ukraine. So worth it! If only we had TWO Ukraines! We tried to get Poland, but they wouldn’t bite. And this is the world I’m born into.

IVM is used for a variety of things, did pharmacists refuse to cure scabies and rosacea? Probably.

    Similarly, and for the 1,000th time, doctors prescribe off-label all the time. Like daily. This is how they prescribe Benadryl for sleep for instance, and also how they learn to respond to new diseases. You think they had research for steroid use with Covid? Nope. They gave steroids exactly like IVM because of symptoms, exactly like IVM. There was no “100,000 man massive, funded, double-blind” study on either drug. Except being “off-label” mattered to Pfizer for one drug and not the other. They act like there’s gray area or complication here. They’re just openly breaking the law and don’t care. Then as they don’t care, we don’t care either I guess and let them. But roughly, this is all straight from the Houses of Legislature and the AMA. Like Paul yesterday, we are passing laws because they won’t follow the laws. Huh? And nobody goes to jail.

    Russia and China will also reveal their Unfriendly Nation Lists.”

    That is, “nations who will not eat”. You can eat or not eat. Europe is going to freeze and starve. Right. Now. We are on a international commodity standard, a “gold” standard. Trading where? Well not in Hamburg and New York! China. Shanghai. Singapore. And if Turkey still has a brain, Ankara and Istanbul(doubt it).

    “What does Russia produce for the global economy on a massive scale?
    You guessed it. Energy, Food, Fertilizer, and Timber. Russia’s input to the global economy only looks small because we have trained ourselves to economically undervalue the most valuable things in life.”–Honkey

    They are very simple: they are going to re-value these things. To their real, not fake value. The End. We all go home, have lunch, play golf. “I am the Alpha and the Omega. The Way and the Truth is the Light.”

    “World Economy Braces for Supply Chain Chaos as COVID Closes China”

    We embargo Russia; China embargoes us. Unless, I dunno, you think Omicron kills people which we haven’t seen yet, OR China has an Omega strain that does but somehow no one in the entire West reports on it or responds to it. Because: midterms? No: it’s an active embargo. Only Western people and media with the brain-stuffing of a muppet can’t see it. Unless somebody wants to get up in here with some Covid tests, listings, and DNA mapping.

    Covid”. It’s a magic word that means, “Now you believe everything I say after it.”

    Good point, Ukraine has ALREADY been hypothecated to float the West’s runaway debt wall. They already need a BIGGER country to hypothecate. Maybe that’s about the push to Mars.

    They never passed any laws in the first place. How can they un-pass them? “Let’s not worry about who did what to whom…”

    “Several States Mulling Lawsuit To End Biden Mask Mandate”

    Why do they need a lawsuit? There was never any mandate to begin with, because there was never any law. Don’t lawsuits generally deal with laws? If they were enforcing a non-law, shouldn’t they be sued to penury for civil rights?

    “Rand Paul Introducing ‘Fauci Amendment’ To Prevent “Health Dictatorship”: Senator says action will “ensure that ineffective, unscientific lockdowns and mandates are never foisted on the American people ever again.”

    What the actual…? It was totally, laughably, completely illegal in the first place. All you have to do is arrest them. Or even now, I’m sure the statute hasn’t run out. So you’re going to pass ANOTHER law no one will follow? One that’s not even as strong as the BILL OF RIGHTS that outlawed it already? EBD. You’re a fake and a tool. We saw this in some of the hearings. The only thing stopping me is that you, with this pathetic, childish show, are multiples better than the REST of Congress, and indeed the whole government, who don’t even see this much. I hope the dollar fails so you can all be completely defunded, lose your pensions, push a mop, and live like the rest of us, you useless, spineless milksop.

    “Painful” in the sense of “Completely fatal to us, the West, and all criminals therein”?

    Aaaaand the quickest way to cease to exist as a nation, as renewable energy does not fuel tanks and APCs.

    Without property rights, there is no Capitalism. Property Rights require a social juris and method, a government, of whatever sort. This is spontaneous in humans and would appear with the 3rd man on Crusoes’ island. So here we have the oldest possible crime: fraud, and no juris that will punish it. To the contrary: they defend it. If you go up to Lehman and toss someone out a window, or even rough them up, YOU will go to jail. If they twist Libor and make several trillion in fraud, they get a promotion, probably a ministership. Sooo, where we at here?

    It’s not Capitalism. It’s not a market. The government violently enforces the fraud, against you, which is open theft and extortion. So when you say, “Capitalism, Invisible Hand of the market” what are we saying? Or rather, what is the pre-requisites for it, or human life it seems? (Bonus, this is why and where it “reappeared” after being missing for 1,000 years.)

    “The difference is a surplus of energy. In this case wood…”

    This literally can’t be true. The coal was there, and in Ohio, falling out of the banks into the rivers. There was wood everywhere without end and without measure. Nor was this a mystery: the natives of every continent burned wood every minute of every day for every purpose. Yet they were “in balance” with the wood and the land. The energy was no temptation to them because, what are you going to do with it? Kill everything? Burn down the world like a moron? The Europeans since 0AD generally have said “YES.” Some other cultures too. But worldwide, Oz, NZ, Africa, South America, Asia, Mongolia, so many, many places, had all the same wood and energy, were all the same humans, and said, “NO.” So it’s not inevitable. There IS free will, despite what Cambridge and The Atlantic say. And millions upon millions DID choose it, for generations without name. You can choose it too, or at least push in that direction. Don’t give into fatalism, sciencism, a clockwork world where we don’t matter. It was never like this before and never needs to be like this again. All we same humans need do is choose like we did before.

    The wood, the energy, the gold or copper or tin, had nothing to do with it.

    Okay, so do you understand that a single fair market price appearing anywhere on earth, even as far away as Shanghai, will crash it? That sounds easy, inevitable even. Not hard. But as “The Big Short” all the insider hacks need to fake prices and position themselves first. Only then, they MIGHT admit reality with prices.

    Commentary was all over this, ahead of me:

    Two articles, Macleod and Luongo, both very complicated, very long, and I wouldn’t even try to reconstruct them here, even if I understand them myself.

    I’m describing this is a Rubicon, a Maginot line, they won’t let Putin come back from. They will not permit peace, only punishment. Therefore, as that NeoCon said, this is irreversible, the world must change forever. And unlike CNN’s telepathic musings, Putin also knows that.

    Since Putin cannot win and go home, NATO and the West must be halted and contained at this point, and permanently. The two articles point out that #1 This is a financial war. #2 Russia and China know this. #3 Sorry to say the bullets in Ukraine are therefore a harmless distraction to the real action.

    All the events we’ve seen in 20 years come into play now. China dumping Fannie Mae, changing their dollar accounts. China buying the LME and the direct gold vault under the NYC sidewalks at Morgan. Shanghai being setup as a second exchange, but choosing not to go active to steal bullion, even as it is real delivery and Chicago and London are entirely fake.

    We see it in the reserve balance set in China, Russia, India, Brazil, the BRICs, based in gold, as well as China’s stocking of goods and deceptive shutoff of exported goods. None of it mattered. None of it happened.

    Markets today are all over the place, signaling nothing. I seem to remember this initially in ‘08. Obviously Russian stocks have fallen, they were halted and stolen, but Chinese stocks are also crashing today. But crashing against what? Is their “fall” really the dollar rise? The Dollar “rose”, there is demand for US Bonds (expected) but rates also rise sharply? (the opposite?) With 7 rate hikes expected? How are all these in play? Is there still a safe haven or not? Not gold, apparently. So markets, prices, as all fictions, controlled, they are no help at the moment, most of the U.S. stocks ALREADY fell, crashed, indisputable Bear, All Russell 5000, only leaving the FAAAKE stocks, with Facebook, Tesla Pfizer, all crashing now, barely holding up a very rigged Index, where the instant something falls (Pfizer) it gets swapped off for something stronger in a Ptomkin simularcra. BTC neither up nor down but fairly low. So we don’t have the safe haven story, nor the move to Asia story, nor even a WW# story.

    What we have is “the old system is being retired and vanishing right now” story. That was supposed to be “BBB” but they were such mouth-breating, glue-sniffing, self-serving morons they had no buy in and no motion anywhere to save them. But it’s a big, big system. It has a lot of parts under a lot of pressure. Nickel demonstrated that “we have no markets.” A rich guy was on the losing end of a trade – yes, and therefore some other guys were winning – so they shut they exchange and did backsies for him. Publicly: they do not find this to be at all embarrassing or problematic. That Chinese billionaire then wants to CONTINUE to double-down on roulette. They do not have a problem with this. Why? The London LME was bought by China years ago. So Chinese cannot lose there anymore, I guess. And this is a market, where the traders will voluntarily go? What, to lose if they win? …No. That puts a dagger into LME even if it doesn’t die of it today. It shows London has no “confidence”, no rule of law. What took them so long…?

    Where would that go then, the setting of price for gold, Forex? Chicago was sacrificed on credibility to rig the markets back in ‘08. They refused delivery then, still hardly deliver today, and have been an openly-rigged paper side-bet for decades. Shanghai is the only deliver market on earth now.

    What about oil? Well Texas doesn’t have much. Brent is drying up and London is being discredited. Saudi refuses to talk to the U.S. and is hosting Xi instead, changed to Russian protection last year in that treaty, even if they’ll let us murder Yemeni kids for them. Who controls Africa? China. They have the upper hand there right now. Russia is the only producer, and they’ve been shut off. – By the West.– So where’s the market? Where’s the center, the control? Europe is dry now, Russian oil goes East. The oil market is now in…China.

    What about food? We know Chicago is discredited, sold off, not run by America. Food from Russia, one of the only exporters, shut off in Europe. Boycotted. Closed. –By the West.– Where is Wheat going and the wheat price being set? China.

    Ukraine? There is no Ukraine exports, which is what Europe depends on desperately, as they savage and abuse their servants like so many rich idiots. Ukraine food, gas is shut off for this year, and may not even plant next month. If Russia wins or loses, no Ukraine exports for now. Price is set in China, flows are set in China.

    So gold, oil, food, and manufacturing, are all set in China. So who controls the financial markets? Wouldn’t that be…China? Or a Russian force, Russian wealth, with the floor of the trading market in China?

    Blinken says if China helps Russia we’ll boycott and “respond” to them. Yes, let me try to stop laughing. Blinken is going to attack, invade, and conquer all of China now. Sure pal, you look like a 90-pound weakling, so shut up nerd.

    But this takes time, all the mooring lines in Saudi, Egypt, need to be cut and re-tied in Shanghai. There is newness and a lot of resistance. But as there is NO SUPPLY of food, oil, gold even, anywhere, — remember, the U.S. refuses to talk, to clear banking, refuses to deliver — the world will HAVE to find their own way there, voluntarily. Then it — prices of gold, oil, wheat, manufacturing — either rises because it’s been suppressed and controlled for 60 years, or because Russia and China profit by rigging it higher on purpose. But now Europe, London, become the outsiders, pimples on the nose of the markets, with no inside information and no more relevance than the Nigerian exchange.

    And that is the source of all the West’s power. Or mostly at this point anyway. So: no more NATO. They don’t have a nickel for their non-working, overpriced tanks and planes. That’s how Russia wins, or has to, and knows it. NATO, the wealth of the West, their leverage, ceases to be. England chucks BoJo the clown out because the British people need gas and bread far more than deceptive, losing, double-crossing Lords.

    So how will America fare? Well we have enormous mining, mothballed, unused. Massive agriculture, with low prices needing to 10x higher. We have amazing manufacturing, but all in garage-size, hobbled terribly with a deadly high dollar exchange rate. We can be independent shortly, as Trump oil showed, and especially in a recession. So although very difficult with a lot of hard work, we’ll be fine. We can be competitive. Germany, UK, not so much, or not for quite a while. They’re the ones who will be buying our $11 wheat right now, and for some time until they knock it off and come to heel for Russian reality. Remember “1/10 ounce of silver — a day’s wage — for a cup of wheat and you can’t afford the oil or wine?” How far are we?

    Looking for evidence of this change now. If this doesn’t happen, NATO will stand, and as they predict, they will make Ukraine the new Vietnam and eventually a larger European WWIII. Russia slowly buckles under and falls. If not, the Derp State will be disempowered and upturned, not winning, but giving merely an opportunity for us to act and our will to be heard and acted. But only the OPTION that must be enforced with our actions and WILL.

    I think they’ve lost. They can eat or they can not eat. Their choice. They can pay fair prices for that food, those commodities, or they can get nothing and no one will care if they starve. Those who do WORK, and PRODUCE are in the driver’s seat. The BRICs, as predicted. I have no idea what took so long. Everyone just loves bullies, weakness, and lies just that much I guess.

    Anticlimactic, this is the #Winning. It has to take down the West.Or the “West” as we know them now: a Clown world of lying self-enrichment PMCs who lack the brains to save themselves. Or really: the West is very, very strong, so to take us down a few pegs to our real level, absent the ego and lies. There’s half the West already wants this too, the White Hats, the “trolls” from yesterday who won’t buckle under to prodaganda, to “Do what they’re told,” which is to “You’ll Get Nothing and Like It.” The only ones who lose are this slice of Bezos Oligarchs that no one likes, nor their ways, and we’ll all cheer to remove them for you, and take a fair playing field.

    “Humans are not meant to be ecological stewards (their short lifespans prevent them to perform the adequate assessment of the consequences of their acts)” I can’t agree as all human societies worldwide DID do this, for about 50,000 years. Only a few weird ones lately have NOT done this. We’re talking about societies up to 1900, and not just here in the U.S., but Scotland, Norway, Africa, Asia, the edges and margins, worldwide until Babylon got into all these places too. You live in a very anomalous time and it’s warping your perception of being “Human”. Most humans probably would do this even now if the tax-man weren’t riding them, and Bezos’ monopolies bankrupting and sending the sheriff and Foster Care down to your house to steal your kids to the new Indian School, or else. Not only is that hated, not only do people not want to participate and obey, it takes a ton of energy and centralization to keep it. We will shortly have neither.

    Already whatever D.C. says is ignored. In drug, gun laws, etc. And what’s more, that’s not “balkanization” it’s how the U.S. was always designed to be.

    “No-Fly”, Tim Pool asks the simple question: “How are we NOT at war with Russia?” That is, if we’re shutting them off and embargoing them, providing direct weapons to their “enemy”, full communications, satellite intel and coordination, training; telling China and their allies they can’t participate, aren’t allowed to bank, can’t buy chips…isn’t that all part of a war? And wouldn’t Biden be impeached for such actions UNLESS there is such a declaration and admission of war?

    Blinken’s statement is funny though; I can’t stop thinking about it. AMERICA is going to shut off CHINA? O Rly? Because “We’ll pull our patents”??? WTF??? Yeah, first let’s pretend China ever followed our patents, but second, how do you plan to enforce anything? …Adding ominously, that Taiwan is the source of chips, so China can just take it. But that is very serious indeed.

    We’re going to shut off China.” Okay then! You go with that! Stop smokin’ the Crack! What I see instead is the whole planet boycotts our patent and IP rights, and does whatever they want while we can’t do much about it. And not just Russia and China. You think Africa wouldn’t like to stop paying us too?

    PMCs: “Well I wrote down this rule on a spreadsheet…” Uh-huh. And I’ve got your wife in the trunk of my car. Can these guys even spell the word “Power” anymore?

    “Putin Acting with Pure Terror” Yes, the terror of the Western PMCs. They might have to move from a yacht to a bass boat. The horror, the horror.

    A law was passed that would impose 15-year prison sentences for anyone spreading “fake news” about the Ukraine invasion;”

    Sounds like us.

    “France Lifts Covid-19 Rules on Unvaccinated, Mask Wearing (AP)”

    Don’t worry: as soon as the elections are over a new “Oppression Variant” will be found. Since there’s no Covid, the Yellow Vests can protest now, right? You as a free, non-Russia-like country will stop shooting French women in the eyes?

    “Cashless Society” That’s why it can never happen. They themselves must have cash for bribes, drugs, mistresses, crimes, and so on. But the point is the same. We want MORE privacy, more commerce, more freedoms, not less. If they even THOUGHT of trying this, we’d all sell gold dust in the streets and hold our garage sales with 1-gal cans of gasoline. You morons. Buy Bitcoin. it is coming as this solution. However, I suspect they may throw everything they’ve got at it first.

    “But western officials say anything short of a full Russian withdrawal would mean that crippling economic sanctions against Moscow were retained. “We keep tightening the noose,” said one. “Putin cannot hope for a fait accompli and for the world to go back to some kind of [normality]. There has been an irreversible change.” –FT

    Following yesterday’s too-long article on “all the things we a-gonna do to Russia.” Here’s another real situation: Putin can’t go back. Like the sanctions, the West decided and won’t let him. Anything other than a 30-point checklist of dismantling for Russia will mean sanctions are not removed. The other article said similarly: Removing sanctions is “hard.” ‘Cause we makes money and don’t feel like it.

    So what does that mean for peace? I mean really? The West won’t allow it, basically. They can’t de-Nazify and go away.

    That goes with the very next line from FT, above: “Russian retreat, Putin toppled” Who do they solely consult on how things are going there? Nuland and Blinken. Read the article. Completely objective observers, I’m sure.

    What’s the last line? “Putin wants less Nato, he’s getting more Nato,” [Nato’s] Stoltenberg said” So that’s it then. Do or die for all involved. Russia is conquered by Nato, or Nato fails and breaks. No other paths.

    In Saker: “in light of the sanctions which the EU has enacted on Russia – with prices of everything going up vertically. And as for the other lacuna, there’s no way Europe can find 200 billion cubic meters of gas anywhere else to replace Russia, be it in Algeria, Qatar or Turkmenistan – not to mention the EU’s lack of necessary LNG terminals.”

    Again, this is do or die. But the die is exclusively Europe. So what I’m saying is the West has targeted Russian oligarchs who can go home. Not great perhaps, but acceptable. Russia is cutting off German and European oligarchs. That is, they will live in a shrinking, dying nation, where their safety is not assured as it’s a cauldron of violent populist hardship. See what I mean, then? It takes time, and their denial is lifelong and mortal.

    Worse, IT’S NOT RUSSIA shutting of the German people and oligarchs. It’s the German oligarchs who are cutting off themselves.

    Can Germany keep this up on themselves as their yachts are confiscated (by payment default, not the governments)? Pretty strange world, no one has ever been driven this insane before, we have no precedents. Did the Tulip mania confiscate their own tulips to crash their own values?

    US Farmers Hit Hard by Price Increases, Fertilizer Costs (JTN)”

    True, but prices are way, WAY up and they are likely to regain all the costs and more. …From you, because there’s nowhere else to get them from, and no alternative for you except to eat.

    ”Buy a 2nd freezer, and stock it. Soon.”

    Not sure, may be too late and you’re now buying at the top. Should have had the pantry years before now, but you would have locked up your money for years in that case. Also electric grid will go down in some areas for some days. Do you have a generator too? Otherwise you will both stock the freezer, and lose everything in it. I think we posted Hugh Smith’s article on “Degrowth”, named decroissance. A quick plug into Google Translate says decroissance means “Decay.” You can’t get a freezer because “decay”. You would only make the delta on today’s meat prices vs tomorrow’s minus freezer and electric costs anyway.

    Put it this way: if food has quadrupled and there’s no car parts, what makes you think there are electric transformers and rolls of 660v wire lying around? Think yurt camping and tent stoves instead.

    “Siluanov said on Sunday that it would be “absolutely fair” for Russia to make sovereign debt payments in roubles until its foreign exchange reserves were unfrozen..”

    Embargoing themselves and giving Russia no choice about it.

    “It’s not weather you win or lose, but where you place the blame.” Frustratingly, Biden has successfully shifted the blame of the chart above, Congress and the fed, with Joe quadrupling costs on poor people, AWAY from Wall Street and over to Putin. By force, because he’s still happy to sell us all the grain and oil and pay all the debts with it.

    “Russia has the money to service its debt, but cannot access it.”

But the Russians are also now a distinct race — suddely not “all whitey” like Whoopie said — so we can go ahead and advance the cause of racism on them too! Hopefully, they can make Russians wear stars and herd them into ghettos the better to shoot them later. That’s love, diversity, and tolerance! All hail Facebook!

    Uh, if I’m not mistaken, trolls ARE the dissent. That’s what makes them trolls. The opposite of troll is “State Mouthpiece”. Which of these two was promoted and which was banned and censored? By Digital Media and recommendation – or worse – of the State?

    Xi’s herding of Uighur Muslims into concentration camps faced as little domestic challenge”

    No, it faces tremendous challenge in the U.S., but exclusively BY the trolls, us dissenters, who won’t quit and which really cheeses them off, and who are all banned for it, as directed at the highest level by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. So putting it in #OpposieLand: the trolls and dissenters are all over this like stink on s—t. Dissent was not impotent, we’re harassing them without end and won’t surrender. And the “Them” is the same oligarchs, slave owners he speaks of, who are controlling the government.

Oil is at all-time highs, and the Nasdaq is in bear territory. Nickel prices went vertical, and the ruble crashed by 50 percent. Wholesale energy prices in Europe have blown past historic records, and a European recession looks almost certain. Yesterday, the economist Mark Zandi put the odds of a U.S. recession this year at “one-in-three.”

    Wait, your “soft power” that shut Nike and therefore helped Russian shoe manufacturers has caused this problem for EUROPE? And also since oil prices have risen not 50% which causes a recession 100% of the time, but DOUBLED, the odds of a U.S. recession is still only 30%???

    Btw if you’re a Europeans you should be pissed if this is true. The U.S. caused a war that sank your economy and plans to make only you pay for it. (Actually “Subprime is not contained”.

    You mean like a higher than 30% chance of recession? Like 100%? Yes and the Dow fell 90% in real terms, numerically stagnant for 20 years? That kind of “Recession” that’s really a “Great Depression”?

    “China could become the counterpart of last resort for Russia. This would make Russia something like a giant North Korea.”

    Wow. If stupidity could kill… But wait! You ain’t seen nothing yet! To Infinity and Beyond!!!

    Ukraine and Russia feed the world. They account for about 30 percent of global wheat exports, along with 20 percent of global corn and 80 percent of global sunflower-oil”

    Wow. That’s chilling. What are we going to do, Derek???

    a global food fight won’t be bad news for all the world’s poor.”

    You mean like Psaki and inflation it’s a GOOD thing for food prices to rise 80% if you’re poor. Wot a relief! One thing tho: that’s not what the cashier at Publix told me when I went there and didn’t pay.

    Oh but wait. He has found a way to surpass infinity on stupid:

    “The 2011 popular uprisings that toppled the governments of Tunisia and Egypt during the so-called Arab Spring traced their origin to a spike in food prices…Imagine a social cascade powered not only by moral righteousness but also by hunger.”

    So inflation and food shortages don’t bother the poor but will also cause a worldwide Arab Spring that will topple most governments while killing the poor? And this is all voluntary as the WEST is the one boycotting? And that’s all a GOOD thing?

    Words. I have none. Please somebody get to this boy with a sippy cup and a plastic spoon. Surely he is too dumb to feed and burp himself.

    His cohort, Eliot A. Cohen, author of the book “I Adore All Military Force (as long as I don’t have to do any myself)” is not dumber, but has an exceedingly dumb laundry list of things-pearl-clutchers-simply-MUST-do-this-season.
    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/03/strategy-west-needs-beat-russia/626962/

    To Do: 1) Liberate all Ukraine. 2) Completely rebuild them. (Build Back Better) 3) Install their new government for them 4) Totally create their new Army. 5) Add them to the EU. 6) Make them part of NATO.

    But surely he doesn’t know what this would require, right? “Doing this will require defeating Russian forces,”

    7) Militarily invade and defeat all Russia, forever. Wait he does know? What else, Eliot? “the objectives vis-à-vis Russia have to go beyond this:” 8) Remove Vladimir Putin forever. 9) Have a coup. 10) Mass upheaval. 11) “leave Russia profoundly weakened and” 12) “militarily crippled,” and 13) “incapable of renewing such an onslaught, and” 14) “isolated” and 15) “internally divided”

    “Europe’s [lack of] remarkable response to the invasion is a long step in this direction, as is the [lack of] American leadership that has rallied so many to oppose Russia and [not] stand with Ukraine.” Unless a hearty “atta boy!” is “standing”. He’s not done, of course. He, personally is also going to:

    16) “vigorous and imaginative military support to Ukrainian regular and irregular forces”; 17) “sanctions that will hobble the Russian economy;” 18) “and construction of a militarily powerful European alliance” 19) “that can secure the border with Russia” (The only secure border permitted worldwide.)

    Um. Not to be a cad, but how do you plan to accomplish this? “The means at hand are obvious:

    Arming the Ukrainians, so all slavs kill each other in an orgy of blood while we Anglos, and all Europe don’t lift a finger to help them. “The conditions in Ukraine are, if anything, more favorable than in Afghanistan.” Um, what exactly do you mean by this statement that seems to have aged badly?

    Anything else, since that’s all going so well? 20) “The final pillar of Western strategy lies in building an impregnable eastern glacis for NATO. 21) “[Poland’s] determination to confront Russia is unlimited,” 22) “permanently station American armored forces in the Baltic states and Poland” 23) “turning the United States into an arsenal of democracy,” i.e. “Arm Everyone worldwide” 24) “construct hardened defenses (e.g., aircraft shelters), while expanding air and missile defense and acquiring long-range missiles to disable Russian air bases” 25) require the cooperation of “Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram,” ending the 1st Amendment and free speech. 26) Do not negotiate. 27) Wildly increase military spending. 28) “accept the primacy of national-security concerns” 29) Make a uniparty “The Republican Party’s political leadership in Congress has rallied” 30) Fear nothing.

    31) And finally, Take over the world. “the United States will have to be, as it was for most of the 20th century, an ambidextrous power, asserting its strength and managing coalitions in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific.”

    Righty-right then, my good fellow. And then what shall we do AFTER lunch?

    Well, we go home and not worry about it. Luckily The Atlantic also says there’s no such things as free will: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/06/theres-no-such-thing-as-free-will/480750/

    I’d say that as just a passing insult but it’s the same nihlistic anti-life religion that drives both things. And The Atlantic is “The Watchtower” of that weird, illogical religion of division, hate, violence, and self-interest and absorption.

    Levels of genius here? “the brain as a physical system like any other, and we no more will it to operate than we will our heart to beat.” Except I can easily will my heart to beat faster and slower. Proving there’s no free will? Yup! If things are physical, they’re Newtonian. QED. He says 100 years after Heisenberg and Schrodinger proved we are emphatically NOT in a Newtonian clockwork word. 100 years? Too soon?

    “we could, in theory, predict that individual’s response to any given stimulus with 100 percent accuracy. This research and its implications…” Are the same religion of scientific technocracy and totalitarianism that is the Pre-Crime of Minority Report. This is already in service, on the streets, but also where wrongthink is punished, even if we THINK you are thinking. BEFORE you think or act. He then argues that his own argument quickly makes people immoral. “In every regard, it seems, when we embrace determinism, we indulge our dark side.

    Solution? “[An Israeli professor] “came to a painful conclusion: “We cannot afford for people to internalize the truth” about free will.” You see, only us sooper-schmartz people can be allowed to know the REAL truth: there is no morality! “Do what thou wilt.” The Schmartz people, philospher-kings, the Technocrats, the PMC “Who-Know-Betters”. Therefore, we must defend lies at all costs! “it must be kept confined within the ivory tower. Only the initiated, behind those walls, should dare to, as he put it to me, “look the dark truth in the face.”

    So really, all the SMART people know there’s no morality, you have to lie to all the “lesser people” and have no choice but in invade Iraq and kill their children if they have oil! It’s just the way of the universe! “no one bears ultimate responsibility for who he is and what he does.”he says. I mean, “What difference does it make at this point?” who made a trillion dollars of your money in a counterproductive lockdown, the past is the past!

    Of course one thing The Atlantic knows for sure is that PUTIN had free will to invade Ukraine for no reason and we must use our free will to decide to attack him accordingly. Right?

    These are the “Thought Leaders” and moral heads of the West.

    “This [Biolab] work is funded and directly supervised by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the United States, i.a. in the interests of Pentagon’s National Center for Medical Intelligence”

    In #OppositeLand, “Threat Reduction” creates threats and there is no “Medical Intelligence” about it. Of course Europe is panicked by a paper fire but plague regularly released into the general population? With birds to insure it goes everywhere? Meh. Our heroes would never do that because: us! Vote Yellow and Blue!

    ““US sanctions once imposed are extraordinary difficult to lift.”

    I guess the U.S. has cut herself off from the world. Like N. Korea and other failed states. I don’t think Russia’s very worried about it. A state like that, well, who can uphold the patents of a national hermit? Sitting in a corner rocking himself with psychotic delusions about “germs”, and “Russkies”? I guess we’ll just have to ignore patent and copyright law and make all those parts ourselves and sell them worldwide.

    “If you have foreign exchange reserves, held in our system, they are no longer safe if we disagree with your politics.”

    Very ordinary. They beta test this, familiarize and inure people to this #illogic and #immorality, then roll it out nationally as if, for example, arresting, extraditing, and holding everyone — that is, foreigners — without trial is perfectly normal and ordinary. In this case, cancel culture, to go nuclear on people, outside of any law or review, outside of any process, outside even of any pre-set agreement, is normalized. Of course we cancel culture Russia faster than we do any democratic protest in Ottawa or D.C.

    Okaaaaay. And then the people respond by what? This is the same as Cancel Culture I, “GamerGate”. People respond and go around you. Because you’re a dick, and one of the bratty, foot-stomping rich kids who flip over the Monopoly board. And therefore no one will talk to you anymore. Ever. But it takes time and they won’t tell you first. As Lavrov showed, what’s the point?

    So as yesterday, the whole thing is gone already but they’re still sending Christmas cards. On a day of their choosing they will tell them to stop bothering with appearances, stop with the market rigging that holds all prices at false, disconnected levels, and see the back of the theatre.

    The frustrating part for me is since it’s all illusion to begin with, there’s no logic to when they choose to re-admit reality. As a person who tracks reality and not perception, it’s frustrating that they aren’t bothered by maintaining illusions – and positioning, and profiting by them no doubt – for a time, a long time, or more or less forever. When they’re already eating 5-stars on private islands they have a lot to lose and a lot to consider, and changing is less pleasant than just waiting. For me it’s the opposite. And everyone else run out of business, not getting paid, working for a living who just got hit with a 25% increase in costs.

    But I will add that – from some article or comment recently – the change comes from working guys getting poorer, but a little, in a recession. But with all the wealth wildly concentrated in stocks, bonds, real estate – concentrated at an unprecedented level never before seen in history – then they lose 90% and the wealth disparity closes fast. As it does historically, and it must. Wages “rise” maybe not numerically but in purchasing power, which we already see with the Great Resignation. House prices fall out of speculation and back to incomes. Who takes the loss on that $500k house going back to $80k? Well MBS, BlackRock, and people, but if the people are only 5 years in and still have age and income, then they simply abandon and make it up on the next purchase. It hurts but if you’re 25 and virtually zero equity at 5 years in, it’s different than being 55 and 18 years in.

    If these things go “down” (again, don’t worry about the numbers but purchasing power) what goes “up”? We already know: gas, food, everything you need to live. The same as always: there’s a financial bubble of unpayable promises, like Cisco promising to sell routers to a SECOND planet earth delivered in 2002. Then the paper promises are revealed to be fake and unpayable and default. This is why T-Bear’s gold standard doesn’t work. It can’t stop people from committing fraud and beleiving fake promises. But when fake promises fall out of fashion, real things are in fashion and commodities rise. Every 30-ish years, but at only 1/3 the time. That is, the Bull (stocks) runs 1940-1970 = 30 years, but the Bear (Commodities Bull) runs 1970-1980, only 10 years.

    I would say it’s pretty clear we’re in a Commodities Bull but not because of Russia. As paper lies were in such demand, and real work was hated, despised, liquidated by every possible means, and for 10 years longer than usual, we now have nothing in the real world. No warehouses, ports, ships, inventories, bridges, roads, factories, elevators, railroads, operating mines. No rare earths, no refiners, no steel mills, no electric grid, no power plants, nothing that makes the real world go. So Russia or no, the whole system is in decay and disruption and it takes 10 years to rebuild it. …Which is tremendously fast if you think about it, but not 10 years you’ll like.

    There is one additional downside: although nothing works in a Bear market (Commodities Bull) we are more likely than ever to have market halts, delistings, force majeures, and currency collapses, so you can’t just click a stock and go to sleep rich. Robin Hood vanishes, and in ‘08 several houses went down, MF Global stole your account, and even Etrade looked like it was toast. It’s no fun even if you buy right and do get rich in the maze.

    Looking at Ukee, I still feel like I have no battlefield or progress data that I can believe or makes any sense. An unprecedented information blackout, although that may be common in a World War — I’ve never been in one. Still hard to comment on much when we have no idea what’s happened, what the losses are, what the gains are, and how Ukee feels about Russian arrival. Obviously if there is the real resistance physically and psychologically, that would be bad or even fatal to Russia. But although widely said, there have been no specifics of it anywhere, which are the incidents propagandists use to make their case. If they had happened, we certainly would have heard them, as the West would jump off a building into a tank of sharks to report them and they’ve reported “Ghost of Kiev” instead.

    This is seen in Lavrov’s statements in Turkey (John Day) where he laboriously re-states the public Russian statement about the hospital and incubator babies. So that’s twice at a big waste of time and effort. Next question: “Why did you kill all the incubator babies?” “If you’re the sort of country that kills incubator babies, how are we supposed to believe you?” “Don’t you want to stop killing incubator babies?” It surpasses “Idiocracy” by a wide margin.

    Suppose it was totally true. Is Russia and Lavrov going to say – like Victoria Nuland did – “Yes, well, we certainly shot up all THOSE incubator babies on purpose because we’re evilly-evil and every Russian worldwide watches it on loop rubbing their fists together in glee…Wait! What am I saying???” And the sooper-reporter says, “Aha! I got you!!!” “Who did it turn out to be, Scoob? Farmer Brown?!?” “And I would have got away with it too if not for you pesky kids!”

    It’s unbelievable what a fantasy they inhabit, and I simply cannot comprehend how food ends up in their mouths each day and they can put their pants on not backward and inside out like Dumb and Dumber, dumberest with every passing hour. But they do. And live in palatial wealth while people – or countries – that do real work DON’T get food in their mouths. #Oppositeland, build by morons, for morons. …I’m having a low opinion of men lately but a high opinion of Lavrov and Russia for not nuking everybody from picque when enduring this interminable situation year after year. I don’t know that I would have similar restraint, but probably one does what one must.

    We are all looking at Russia, and still a fair bit of Covid. So what are we not looking at? There are missiles hitting worldwide since the perpetrators know they have news eclipse on it. Israel for one; any excuse. Africa. We see the election counting still. But these are known stories. Where are the unreported ones?

    “Biden: NATO-Russia Conflict Would Be “World War 3”, Warns Kremlin of “Severe Price” If Chemical Weapons Used”

    So that’s your plan? Gosh these guys are easy. I mean since they’re the ones bringing CW in AND the UN OPCW will assure the world that Russia did it, it’s not easy. But imagine if they didn’t tell you their next move every morning at 4am, then broadcast it to every major outlet worldwide.

    Reminding: Incubator babies! Chemical Weapons! Gas Attack! Yeah how did that go in Syria for you?

    Looking at it another way, RAND listed the weaknesses of Russia. …As a personal favor to Russia I presume, since they’re publishing their attack vectors. But let’s look deeper: what are the weaknesses and imbalances of the United States and W?

    Also adding that Germany had two options: it could join Russia with fair market prices, buy their nuclear electricity, gas, and aluminum and get enormously rich together, OR Germany could stick with their Anglo conquerors still occupying them 70 years later, refuse to pay fair prices, and go to war, or be on the front lines of the war AGAINST Russia. There was a lot of manouvering, but atm we know which one they picked. Doesn’t make sense to me: killing vs not killing, paying fair money vs having to oppress and occupy for the next 100 years, but some people like that sort of thing. If they believe/choose that, they’re certainly no longer Saxons.

    Without the commodities, Germany isn’t the only one to fall. They locked up to steal Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, NoKo later. If they can’t, there is no “western consumerism.” With no illusion of sales, there cannot be 10x hypothecated services parasite perched on top. Like the truckers, all they have to do to stop them is say “no” and stay home. Don’t ship. So this is mortal and fatal to them.

    Biden is of course helping all he can. Russia refused to cut off oil even during a war, so Joe and Nancy did it for him. Merely for the blame, killin’ some (poor) folks.

    Democratic spending bill: “A blatant attempt to restrict the Second Amendment and override sanctuary state laws…”

    Continuing to start that civil war. At least we can’t say they only start them for everybody else. Fair is fair, we have the CIA start them at home too. “Party of Chaos” as Kunstler says. The other one is the “Party of Dumas” …Wait for it…

    “American Police Have so Much Gear that They’re Sending It to Ukraine”

    This is like a joke. “What schools had all the funded they needed and they had to hold bake sales for bombs?” They are so broke the US is holding bake sales to fund the Nazis in Ukraine. There are couple levels of crazy here. So…shipping guns overseas to a war zone isn’t a crime now? Not if we can help genocide all Russians? And if you do, you’re only increasing the crime rate in Europe. Duh: the weapons aren’t in the supply and support chain unless they are AK bullets and standards. Your AR-15, etc are all NATO rounds and will be sold for cash in the black market to buy the REAL military arms they need. Not toy pop guns like your .38 or .22lr either. But this is good for Hillary’s arms sales, like the ones from Tripoli to Idlib. Arms flying around the planet (but not for you!) is our motto.

    But with a nation of thought-stoppers, who haven’t asked an intelligent question in decades since they were beaten senseless for it at the age of 5, none of this matters. We “signaled” we were going to help the weak and oppressed by putting guns into the hands of Euro mafia (ironically mostly Ukrainians) who attack the weak and oppressed. Learning things is hard. You have to shut up and listen for 10 seconds.

    “UN Warns Ukraine War Could Spark 20% Surge in Global Food Prices”

You can’t rebuild those towns and elevators overnight. There are no parts for combines and tractors. And you can’t unpave New Jersey ever. Congratulations, morons, you bought a one-way trip to hardship and oppression. And your kids ride for free.

    “To my eyes, the most striking feature of the sanctions against Russia is the way that Western corporations have gone well beyond the letter of government requirements.”

    Yes, there is no better indicator of “Fascism” and the perfect merger of corporation and state than this fact. Thanks for proving all my accusations for me. GE, BP, CNN, they no longer like money. They will destroy their shareholders for the cause. Voluntarily, without being asked. Because they are all Group-think, of one mind and national body, and voluntarily, using propaganda and peer pressure, the definition of “Fascio.”

    “It is teetering on the brink of a financial crisis that will see bank runs, soaring inflation and default” “a 35% quarterly decline in gross domestic product”

    Does he mean the United States? Same with “Those who courageously protest the war are being arrested and harassed in the usual fashion” “the repressive apparatus of state security seems to be in full working order” He means US, UK, and Canada, right? See where having a moral standing – at all – starts to matter in life and war?

    “Conversely, if there is justice in the world … disaster befalls the architect of this war” Yes indeed. Let it be so, though he knows not what he asks.

    Is that the mark of a rich, peaceful, free nation?

    “Inflation while money doesn’t move?”

    What these MMT geniuses don’t get is: it moves all at once. Like Weimar, they say, “We’re geniuses! We printed a million-billion dollars and nothing happened! Let’s print 30 trillion.” (Literally) And nothing happens. Until FAITH is lost, and then velocity goes to infinity, all the money comes out of hiding in just 3 months. The key to inflation is PERCEPTION, which cannot be predicted. This is true of gold and dollar replacements. We had inflation from 1980-2000 but gold went down because “confidence”. It’s confidence that makes it.

    Right now this is Inflation (printing) smashing into deflation (debt). But they keep increasing the forces involved. Infinitely.

    Why would we be worried about “Whataboutism”? If I answer Biden’s war Crimes with Bush’s war crimes, we can happily arrest and hang them both. Doesn’t bother me a bit. Wrong is wrong. And I don’t have a team. So there’s no stress, no bother. I only follow law and morality, and it only irritates and stops those who don’t follow law and have no morality. Also, I expect they’re in the Very Important World of Twitter and the New Yorker. Back in the real world, ngaf, and we hear it less.

    The main “Whataboutisms” are when people point out their breathtaking hypocrisy solely in pursuit of power. That’s why we “Whataboutism” for 14,000 killed Russian genocide by their open Bandera “hero” government in Ukraine. It shows who they are, they have no moral high ground, but the moral low ground, and they don’t like it. Hahahaha. Which means I do it more.

    “ICANN on Wednesday rebuffed a request from Mykhailo Fedorov, First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, to revoke all Russian web domains,”

    Anything to start WWIII. Remember the Pentagon pulling off their shirt and showing they owned like 100 million potential IP addresses and could DNS if required? Yeah, they’ve thought of this. They’re just playing around. Apparently this is the thing though and they’re probing the attack now. A few sites have gone down in the test last few days. I say “they” as the Derp State, tryin’ to kill some folks again. Why would Russia bother? The West will do it to hide the (next) banking crash, like the one Canada ran into last month. But they couldn’t do that without a Russia to blame it on.

    This goes with yesterday’s discussion in who’s controlling things? Biden SotU delineated TRUMP’s platform and agenda. No one noticed of course. Biden is HELPING Russia. No one notices. Biden is both destroying the currency faster than ever and the DNC party forever. He’s airing live from a stage studio across from the real White House, while Kamala has yet to visit the VP residence. How much more of coincidences can you take?

    I’m fine with it if it’s an accident caused by bad DNC/CIA/DERP strategy, but it beggars belief. So we have a “tangle” of responses because the minions have beliefs and marching orders from their weirdo religion in the past. But the Top – who should most know better – are doing the weirdo death-eater thing but 99% of the time always TOO FAR. So they both reveal their intent to murder all life on earth which no one cares about, but also to murder YOU personally, which people sorta slowly sinks in a leeeetle bit. So I have to say that my impression is that somewhere, somehow, the White Hats have the blackmail files and the phone books of the baddies. And they’re calling the minons with “the usual orders.” Now if they called and said, “Trumper is the bestest and we want you to vote for gun rights and abortion” then they’d know something was up and stop. So you tell them to have Beto say “we’re coming for you” and call VA to say “We want post-birth abortions”. (Both literally happened.)

    The people then go “Whaaaaaaaaaatt????”

    Or as today, Nuland to say, “Yes, we do have 29 very dangerous labs, actually.” And “inflation is +8%” (Psaki) and “we’re no longer the reserve currency” (Powell). You see if the Black Hats can run the world with blackmail files + fat bribes and pensions, then all you need to do is get that same phone # and checkbooks, then in a sorta-gray area like you have in wars and rebellions, use it cuz IDGAF. Screw them and their mothers. It’d be the funniest thing ever to do this and send Bolton to Mongolia too. I could keep it up all day just for entertainment.

    This is literally the only POSSIBLE way to stop them since the system rests 99% on lies and propaganda, so the only solution is for people to realize they have been lied to, it’s all fake, and these specific people are the liars to be discredited, then because discredited, no shield and arrested. That way the next generation doesn’t just believe it again and we go right back to being a slave plantation. They need to have the hardships of war and rebellion without anyone getting killed. Pretty big ask but this would do it. Find me another explanation if you can.

    One Ukrainian Billionaire Funded Hunter Biden, Zelensky, Azov Battalion (Koa)”

    Just like here, the oligarch that funded Ze’s TV show, simply moved the reality TV show from the fake presidential office to the real presidential office. Of course here it’s the opposite: we moved from the real White House to the stage one. Obviously faker than Ukraine. Clue? The oligarch also took the other actors to be the other cabinet.

    “They don’t just desire to be exonerated; they don’t want to be judged at all. They want to be unaccountable. The best path toward that end is to foster public amnesia.”

    “What difference does it make at this point?” “Let’s not worry about who did what to whom…” That is ME, attacking and killing you and the whole United States and stealing a trillion of your money in just 6 months. So much money that ONE oligarch, Bezos made enough ADDITIONAL money to pay every Amazon employee $200,000 bonus in just a few months. The other 100 oligarchs made the same. From you. Now paying 15% inflation with no raises. Your kids will starve shortly like we all used to.

    But let’s not ask why 12-year-olds are dying of heart failure and you’re broke and still have 80% of the oppressive police state they installed using that leverage to go from mostly information blackout to total media blackout of wrongthink.

    Did I say blackout? No. We now both permit and promote open genocide against Russians worldwide.

    It’s the civic duty of all loving, caring, peaceful world citizens to murder the poor and all Russians wherever they are found. Signal your virtue and Kristallnacht them today!

    Is the Security Council, with all the usual names, and CRISPR DNA that includes Covid, presented to the UN in a subpoena, under-oath way, the 311 surprise?

    If it is, remember the market and dollar are already dead and have been floating on nothing longer than I remember, like year? So if it changes it’s just a few hackers and a few traders making a few phone calls to make what already existed appear. That is as Frank Zappa said, lifting the curtain so you see the brick back wall of the theatre. The show is over.

    If so, we’ll know with a weekend bank holiday. They’re already calling force Majeure in Italy, and no doubt in Nickel. So trades of all pals get backsies so the traders who were right, honest, and correct don’t get paid, but our friends do. Waiting.

    Ol’ Joe, in the pocket of Putin. Howso? Well he stopped 2% of Russian oil sales but raised the price of their oil $20. Ka-Ching! No one helps Russia and China more than Joe and da boyz. Food? Gas? Bye-bye Europe, hope you brushed up on living like Romanians. Hello Shenjing, warm houses, yummy noodles. All the sanctions? Shut off aluminum to GE, no nickel for Tesla. If you want aluminum, better call Wuhan! Russia becomes more independent, more employed, more “Russian”, culturally, than ever.

Whatever shall I do? You win, I guess. P.S. these gas prices and 8% inflation were long before the invasion. The release numbers are by definition LAST month’s. This is the highest inflation probably ever, and certainly the largest rate spread (TIPS, Inflation vs bond rates) ever, by multiples.

    Yes, and as energy is a REAL thing, it spikes when the CURRENCY fails. That was the 1970 petrodollar transition and this is the same thing again. Why not? A Transition like this 10-bagger for the rich. – 10x the poor. That’s a no-brainer.

    Dore follows Colbert saying we can’t get oil from Russia. To have a clear conscience, we need to buy it from cluster-bomb, Yemeni-killing, journalist-butchers like Saudis. Wild applause! Yaaaay, butchers in tolerant human rights democracies like Saudi!!! We so Woke! Pure Love. Think I’m kidding, watch the clip. There’s nothing Americans like better than dead Yemeni children.

    Non-stop articles about Putin losing because he didn’t blitzkreig Kiev and got “bogged down.” I didn’t know you were all war experts and also telepathic as to his plan! That’s an amazing combination! Did you notice he also locked up only the Azovs and are waiting for them to sally forth from their kettles, while holding the rivers, ports, and coast?

    “Russian red line that was guaranteed to trigger a military response.”

    The next genius these war professors cite is how NATO is so much bigger than Russia. Yes. And all of the U.S.’s hardware is somewhere else. All of France’s is somewhere else. All of Britain’s is somewhere else AND doesn’t work. Germany’s NATO power exists in the “somewhere else” of pure theory as they need parts. The only “Power” that matters is the power “In Theatre”. That can be supported with supply lines by the way. Russia has a ZERO supply distance from Crimea. But let’s say 600km. The U.S. has a trans-ocean distance of 6,000km with ZERO assets in theatre. We also own no merchant ships and almost no shipyards. Even our planes in Poland are 1200km away. Don’t worry: none of this matters when you’re sitting on your couch, ‘coz we beat them on Twitter.

    “We beat them to it by a week or two,”

    Yes, so we’ve heard the reason Azov is so fully kettled and completely f’d is because they were planning a “final solution” and invasion of Donesk that Biden – the real director of the war – was warning about, complete with bio-lab false flag. So the whole army was sitting there, pants down their ankles, shoelaces tied together. Russia picked Yanukovich Day, 22222, to send a message, cutting off the WHOLE ARMY, which isn’t much by the way, they’d been struggling with Donesk before Pelosi started chucking $13B a pop of Flint, MI’s money to them. Now the whole army is stuck where they shouldn’t have been, and the whole nation is nearly defenseless. …In national terms, of course. Otherwise, how could Russia just sit around the Samovar on the side of the road, no smoke or explosions anywhere? Because the ordinary Ukrainian doesn’t care. Most don’t like the Azov Nazis either.

    “Russia to Ban Fertilizer Exports to ‘Not Friendly’ Countries (ZH)”

    There is some small relief as I said last year with soybeans. If China gets their food from Russia now, Egypt can get the food Russia would have sent them from Kansas, as China isn’t buying it. There are X people, and X acres. Too bad about the prices and disruptions though. “I Did That!” – Joe Biden

    “Russia Denies Bombing Maternity Hospital”

    As your own lyin’ eyes told you yesterday, this was a scam and fake. Apparently they had removed the patients and took over the hospital as a military HQ. Then Russia hit the building which was no longer a hospital, having no doctors and no patients.

    Mayor of Mariupol, Vadym Boichenko, called for a no-fly zone to be imposed over Ukraine. “Today I am asking the global community for help. Please start WWIII and cause a thermonuclear death that will end life as we know it on earth. Please, we beg you. If you don’t, some of us may survive, even in Mariupol.” Fixed it.

    Well played Poland. Now Kamala’s there.” Cackling maniacally when asked about refugees and rubbing her fists together when she hears about “Burning chemical pits.” Poland says “Please! We’ll do anything you want. Just don’t send Kamala again.”

    Warren: She has the same solution as Global Warming / Green New Deal / Carbon Credits: if prices are high on poor people, add taxes and make them higher! I hear the Yellow Vests love that. Pete says if you have a problem with that just buy a new car! Simple! Takei says it’s your patriotic duty to buy $7/gal gas from civilian-strafing Saudi Arabia on a $15 minimum wage. If you don’t like it, you should have bought a $10M house in L.A. like he did. Then you could stay home like he does. Gawd! You’re all so stupid!

    “Given the totality of scientific evidence for ivermectin,” …Including Dr. Fauci’s paper specifically citing it as a cure.

    Smollett in the news today. Must be worried about Kamala and da boyz who put him up to it. Dr. Evil doesn’t like embarrassing national failures that draw non-stop attention to them. No mafia ever does.

    “Facebook, Instagram to Allow Calls for Violence Ethnic Cleansing against Russians over Ukraine Invasion”

    Fixed it. All my friends have no rulez. Everything my enemies do is stupid and illegal and I murder them. Simple! As yesterday, this is why you cannot “comply”. It’s literally impossible. If you COULD comply, psychos change the rules so you can’t so they can beat you.

    “US State Department Denies Russian Allegations of Biological Weapons in Ukraine”

    They should have a talk with Mrs. Nuland who said otherwise in very stark terms. And the WHO who told them to destroy the records and the evidence in the vials. And the actual lab samples and records Russia and China are going through right now.

    WHO: Funny how they didn’t care about the Yemeni cholera bio-attack or the Syrian refugees in Greek internment camps. Maybe they’ve all died right now, every last one of them, like the boy on the beach: it’s not reported and never will be. But they are not real people. Only people that MAKE US MONEY are real people. Only diseases that make us money are diseases. And the people applaud like trained seals.

    Yes, an RN told me VAERS data is useless, doesn’t exist, and can’t be deciphered. Really? Why do you keep it then? And a 10,000x increase? That data variation and anomaly can be seen from Mars. The data could BE almost entirely useless and that would still tell you something.

    Conclusion: RNs do not believe in data. They lack all scientific and medical curiosity. They have no interest in improving data collection to standards that might be useful, and do not consider that lack to be scandalous at all. They hate and look down on anyone who does try to collect or read such data. And believe everything they’re told on TiKTok, or by a known-corrupt medical administration, while reading nothing. Apparently, anyway. No surprise: same as all other adults in the West.

When you’ve got a bunch of players, doing different tasks worldwide, you need to coordinate them in some high-level way, like pivot points. 311 and 911 are two of those. 911? Yes, the last financial crash was started on that date. Others usually follow the moon calendar.

    Sure would be a shame if some of our 1st strike battlefield nukes got mixed in with them. And then Russia had to battlefield nuke that base. Stop f—-g around. Can’t we all just agree? On nuking John Bolton or something?

    And speaking of stray missiles: They’re running ye olde “Incubator Babies!” Again! Yes that Children’s Hospital photo-op. Hey, might be real. You never know. But you’ve got all that juicy equipment in a room, but it wasn’t being used because no humans have disturbed it since the poof, no blood or glove-marks, nothing? So the bomb went off, the Nurses said, “Wait! Stop! We’ve got to get Channel 4 in here before I can remove this NICU baby from this glass case with no power.” Didn’t walk in there, throw open the lid, nothing? Right.

    “Oil Market Chaos Deepens as Sen Warren Pushes Windfall Profits Tax for ‘Big Oil’”

    Senator Warren sets price controls, ‘cause that always works, AND dissuades oil companies from increasing capacity using…you know, money. And therefore kills a whole bunch of poor people, which I’m sorry to say is probably a 50-50 not Democrats, and certainly not from a tiny, irrelevant state like MA. Biden follows saying “Why ain’t there no shale oil?!? It’s been 10 whole minutes! I need me a million barrels of shale oil up in here!” Because: Time, Space, Reality? Physics, Investment? Blank, goat-like stare.

    “Ukraine Bans Wheat & Grain Exports” Let’s go Brandon. Killin’ some folks.

    “IEA Ready To Release Additional Oil from Reserves as Prices Surge: “We are ready to release as much oil as is needed.”

    Hahahahahahaha! I don’t have to worry about the food if I die laughing. Last time they released about a day’s worth. Let’s go Shiba! Wow. So laughter. Very genius. One pipeline hack knocked out the SouthEast coast to NJ, as not only does America not have any gas inventory, the people don’t have any money. It’s for EMERGENCIES, genius. Not lowering prices for the midterms. To them that IS an emergency. Same Brandon who released all our oil for a 50c drop BEFORE the war.

    “The bombardment on Mariupol comes as 200,000 civilians attempt to evacuate the city without success” Yes, we already saw Azov was not letting them leave. There must have been a dozen stories by now forgetting to mention this in new ways.

    Repeating Greenwald. Rundown of everyone lying, everywhere, every time.

    “Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), hoping to debunk growing claims that there are chemical weapons labs in Ukraine, smugly asked Nuland: “Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?”

    Rubio undoubtedly expected a flat denial by Nuland, thus providing further “proof” that such speculation is dastardly Fake News emanating from the Kremlin, the CCP and QAnon. Instead, Nuland did something completely uncharacteristic for her, for neocons, and for senior U.S. foreign policy officials: for some reason, she told a version of the truth. Her answer visibly stunned Rubio, who — as soon as he realized the damage she was doing to the U.S. messaging campaign by telling the truth — interrupted her and demanded that she instead affirm that if a biological attack were to occur, everyone should be “100% sure” that it was Russia who did it. Grateful for the life raft, Nuland told Rubio he was right.”

    Gooooo Rubio! Known to be a child fluffer, and keepin’ those standards up. Presidential material.

    Need I ask the question why Russia would bio-attack THEMSELVES? After having such labs for 100 YEARS? And this was the “False Flags” that Biden said was going to (make) happen, that even the REPORTERS mocked as ridiculous.

    Now I still need proof but this is the media/narrative release on Ukee I’ve been looking for. It’ll knock the wind out of their sails. No one cares if it’s airborne ebola or zombie black death. But if it’s Covid buster, they’re gonna be mad.

    What did Nuland tell us? “The only reason to be “quite concerned” about these “biological research facilities” falling into Russian hands is if they contain sophisticated materials that Russian scientists have not yet developed on their own and which could be used for nefarious purposes — i.e., either advanced biological weapons or dual-use “research” that has the potential to be weaponized.”

    Russia and China didn’t tell us that, NULAND of the United States just told us that.

    And of course, after Nuland ADMITS that, ON CAMERA, in CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY, the fact checkers go and PROVE A NEGATIVE. With no access to data or location, not that that would matter.

    “All of this took place as the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid $50,000 per month not to the son of a Ukrainian official but to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter: a reflection of who wielded real power inside Ukraine.”

    This is a great Greenwald point: not who got paid, but it’s also a reflection of who DIDN’T get paid: the usual suspects. So if Hunter got paid INSTEAD of the idiot crack-smoking, laptop-losing son of a Ukrainian Oligarch, there was a specific reason for it. Reason above: Joe was running Ukraine. Joe is therefore arming Azov, and making Nazis the literal secret police, with their new national Nazi salute. Russia knows it.

    Greenwald makes the strong point that Nuland and her husband Kagan are PAC members (“If only there were a Pearl Harbor event so we could steal Iraqi oil!”), and run Ukee policy through all RNC/DNC administrations for decades. He then neglects to mention they only got booted once, and squealed like a stuck pig about it and threw an irrational tantrum for 3 straight years: Under Cheeto they were shut down, with the wars. Orange Man Bad.

    Well, much as Glenn tells the truth, if he told that one, people would stop reading. All orange things are now, and forever will be, bad. War, however, is very very very very very very good. Ask Jimmy Dore and Lee Camp, the whole left-right uniparty is all war, all the time, now openly under “Democracy Now” “Mother Jones” and other suspects. They’re now pro war crime! Yaaaaay! And all you have to do is be ethnically Russian.

    There was one other time they got booted. Under Reagan. He called them the “Crazies in the Basement” and after humoring them, eventually expelled them for their antics. However, yet again, no arrests, no trials, no hangings. Just like FDR’s “Businessman’s Coup” and the Bushes. And without arrests and consequences, evil goes on and on and on forever, making new trouble and killing new people every day.

    “Just because Ukraine is full of neo-Nazis, and recent members of its government were neo-Nazis, and its military has neo-Nazi units (e.g., the notorious Azov Battalion), and it has a national holiday celebrating a Nazi, and government officials hang his portrait in their offices, and the military and neo-Nazi militias have been terrorizing and murdering ethnic Russians since the USA and the Forces of Goodness supported and stage-managed a “revolution” (i.e., a coup) back in 2014 with the assistance of a lot of neo-Nazis … that doesn’t mean Ukraine has a “Nazi problem.” After all, its current president is Jewish!” CJ Hopkins

    Just repeating again, for emphasis.

    He forgot the Nazi Militias were specifically rolled into the police to harass and enforce Russian ethnic cleansing.

    “Populations don’t like wars…and have to be fooled into war”

    Nah, if they didn’t passionately love war, death, murder, and killing, they couldn’t be so easily fooled. VERY easily. There’s nothing they like better than somebody else dying. Nothing.

    “The House approved a massive spending bill Wednesday night that would rush $13.6 billion in U.S. aid”

    That’s $50 a person, or maybe $200 per worker. I’m sure we don’t need that money in Flint. Anything, ANYTHING but to help their own people, their own citizens, their own Americans. Any-thing.

    That’s also $330 per Ukrainian, or geez I don’t know, $1,000 per Ukrainian worker? A fortune there. If you’re going to pay somebody’s rent for 6 months, why not pay ours?

    A: We don’t care about either of you. If the infinite debt doesn’t rise at an ever-increasing and infinite rate, the whole system implodes.

    Other highlights: that’s no money for nurses as it’s been re-directed. Health system is still failing, as by design since 1992, just as we warned then and every day since. Every day we point it out, and every day more “helping” makes fewer beds, worse health, and more type II diabetes. If only Coke banned here, we’d probably same more lives than everyone killed in Ukraine so far.

    “We’ve got a war going on in Ukraine,” Pelosi told reporters.”

    “We”, Nancy? I thought “we” had nothing to do with Ukraine. It was just a random, baseless invasion. If “We” had something to do with it, with arming, funding and causing the war, then Putin would be justified in a response. “We?” “Our” war? Not Ukraine’s war, not even mentioning Ukraine, leaders, allies, but “Our” war? Soup to nuts is “Us”?

    “Escape” pic. Yeah, they sure have U-Haul, printed in English, in Ukraine. Along with the short shirts and sundresses in March. No one notices. I guess the zombie apocalypse already happened. No brains.

    Professor useless writes: “Instagram posts from plush locations are a major strategic asset for anyone seeking to impose accountability…” Because…the NSA and IRS just can’t figure out where their FAA registered jet is without Instragram? How do these people get their shoes on in the morning?

    “[Russian Oligarchs] are behaving exactly as sociologists would expect when status is threatened among a group accustomed to impunity: They’re angry, and they’re anxious. Their discomfort has not yet persuaded Putin to stop his aggression in Ukraine, but it’s a reminder that the U.S., U.K., and EU can and should confront a kleptocratic system that allowed Russia’s president to amass so much power in the first place.”

    Not like the kleptocractic, oligarchic system of pointless ego and ostentation like we have here in the U.S. U.K. and E.U. No, we’re totally different and exceptional. Boycott Dartmouth.

    “Biden Sells Alaska Back to Russia so We Can Start Drilling for Oil There Again” –BBee

    But oil can’t be sustained at $200, so time to take profits and look somewhere else. The problem with that statement is it’s a Oil-USD pair, and the USD is going to come unglued as well.

    “Nuland Warns Russia May Seize Ukraine Biolabs, Could Stage False Flag Using Bioweapons”

    So you admit there are dangerous bioweapons there. Was that intentional? Considering it was very dangerous and the most corrupt state on earth, was having the labs in Ukraine control a safe idea before? ‘Cause we have Russia’s safety history, we know it. But yours?

    [Putin’s] power inside Russia is surging.”

    Yes, they have no choice. So the oligarchs, a little purged and put in line by Vlad, but mostly the same selfish dummies worldwide, didn’t care that much about Russia, as they are running their ‘business’, or rather themselves, their ‘interests’. Kind of like a castle, a household, but a very varied and flexible one. But they don’t care about the mother ship all that much, they have things to do and Russia is poor and cold. Result: spent a bunch of time in London, Zurich, Monaco, NY, and so on, talking to businesspeople and enjoying things. To get their kids a leg up, they were in private school in Geneva and went to Oxford after. Now? For nothing you’ve done or had anything to do with, all Europe just stole your houses, your yachts, probably your business, attacked your kids, in danger of pulling passports and arresting you personally, and you have to flee back to HQ in St. Pete. The only safe place on planet earth – not just for your money, not just for oligarchs BUT FOR RUSSIANS IN GENERAL, AS A RACIAL GROUP – is Russia. So Europe is ETHNICALLY CLEANSING private Russian citizens now. Do they wear stars, or is stopping their credit cards in Cadiz and Miami enough? WTF do you think you’re doing?

    YOU ARE THE RACISTS, you complete, drooling morons. You don’t attack an ETHNIC group. You don’t attack a LANGUAGE group. You don’t attack a NATIONAL group, not outside their own borders. They’re insane. “Are we the baddies?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JOpPNra4bw

    But yes, in that situation, every Russian on earth, everywhere they are found MUST support Putin and Russia, or be purged and die. I know many won’t feel that, many were never pro-invasion and aren’t now, but this is going to be sinking in. Storytime, from a restaurant in Ottawa: It’s called the “Russian Tea Room” and now that they’re opening up, some people went, hung out, hot tea and also bar cocktails. Sitting there, a lady comes in with her family agitated, and grabs the Canadian next to her, “What is your position on the War??? What is it???” Wtf? Do you always collar perfect strangers like that? What’s wrong with you? Do you need to go to the hospital? “Well we’re in the Russian Tea Room.” Yes you idiots. BUT IT’S NOT OWNED BY RUSSIA. It’s not even owned by ethnic Russians. It’s a theme restaurant owned by a middle eastern cook who’s never BEEN to Russia. And you’re so agitated by false propaganda you’re ready to burn it down with all patrons inside.

    Next weird part? An hour later they’re all drunk and happy on vodka together. In the Tea Room. Because: “Reality”. She got past the mind-hacking and was talked down into the simple act of being Canadian, in a Canadian restaurant, with other Canadians. Wtf?

    Point being, this is the level of racism and raw hostility, for no reason but a ceaseless fire-hose of raw lies. If that’s true, what are ACTUAL Russians elsewhere up to? It tells them, they’re not safe. The West is insane. And everything Putin said was true, and therefore proof the war was justified. They’re now like the Jewish state, have to flee there to the homeland for their own defense. “I did that!” – Joe Biden.

    If we ethnically cleanse a whole national people, are we the good guys? Yup! Ask any American, left or right. Couldn’t be gooderer!

    “The U.S. strategy effectively requires the destruction of Ukraine in the service of America’s imperial ambitions.”

    ‘Ambitions’, that is, ‘the destruction of Russia.’ So BOTH are to be killed, Ukraine and Russia alike, finishing up the 1990 invasion. So the U.S. is requiring the death of all Slavs and has taken every action to accomplish it. I’d say more but the U.S. strategy also requires the destruction of Americans. That is, the Red flyover ones, as well as all black people in every blue city. So if it’s killing everyone, me AND you, Slav AND Anglo, who then is it enriching?

    No. No you’re not. Even if you’re TRYING to be obedient, it’s impossible to adhere, or to keep up, while the system itself can break or be corrupted against you, which exclusively leads to harm and not to good. “You’re Next”. There is no “obeying’. There is no running away. Eventually being normal will put you in the crosshairs too, as we see everywhere today. If you say “women exist” for example. You’ll be purged, hated, fired, and die in a box, your kids in foster care.

    “Saudi, Emirati Leaders Decline Calls with Biden During Ukraine Crisis (WSJ)”

    Yes, but it kills poor people so who cares? Their PMC class is safe in pajamas, and the rich didn’t notice, not even Takei.

Anyway, shows they are extremely happy, gleeful even, that prices are high and more poor folks die. Greta is no doubt sleeping well knowing all her dreams have come true. Yachts and private jets are exempt, doncha know?

    In the meantime, China is under enormous pressure, and guess what? Problem solved! Cheap, abundant food, cheap, endless energy, while Europe and Pittsburgh starve. Thanks guys! You couldn’t have done better if you were on the Chinese payroll. …Oh, wait…Harvard, Pelosi, Feinstein, McConnell, Biden…

    “Our sanctions have taken countless lives around the world, a form of bloodshed we pretend isn’t warfare.”

    Sanctions, embargoes, ARE warfare. Just like with so many things we pretend it’s not, and the laws already written about it don’t apply. “Some laws are more equal than others.” Now about stealing the Oligarchs – that is to say “Private Citizens’ ” – money, just shows you’re dead-broke and without a leg to stand on. The shut-off of drugs and humans is working, in Afghanistan, in Ukraine. Without that money, they’d collapse, so they’re stealing more. Since all U.S. citizens are broke, and the U.S. oligarchs are the ones doing the stealing, that leaves Russia. Oh and Germany of course. We get them by making them buy arms they don’t need, won’t work, and can’t pay for. Poland too, but Greece was a good example, buying submarines in the ‘08 crisis, while selling their ports to China. The spice must flow.

    Looked at this way, the Derp State is desperately weak and on the edge of collapse, but more dangerous than ever because of it.

    Yes, but to be honest, who doesn’t, really?

Same jurisdiction as Assange, that “We’re an empire now, and we create reality.” But that goes with “Biden boycotts Russian oil”. Impeach. On what basis can Biden do this BEFORE Congress passes a law? The “Executive” “Executes” the will of CONGRESS. Not the other way around. “I have but one Dictator, and will have no other dictators before thee”. Doesn’t create even a puff of doubt, questioning, or curiosity in reporters, to say nothing of the American people. I guess the President has ALWAYS been the sole decider, like “W” said. And he has always been at war with Estasia. Well, have fun obeying your dictator, I guess. I prefer a rule of laws instead.

    Trojan horse legislation just offered by Sen. Amy Klobuchar”

    Well, “Klobuchar”, so of course. 100% certain it’s as evil as she is. And there is only “Information”; there is no “mis-information.” Why? Because it’s the Logical Fallacy of “Appeal to Authority”. History shows every minute of every day for centuries that “authorities” have no idea what the true, accurate information is, and if anything, oppose truth almost all the time. That’s why it “Shall not be infringed”, but they also refuse to enforce that other Constitutional Law, that you can’t pass a law that exempts special people and friends. Which is Section 230. Laws written applies to everyone equally for exactly this reason. So? Tell the truth and obey the law. Simple! If not, we’re coming up there and you won’t like it.

    “And for what? We still haven’t yet received an answer”

    For “RussiaRussiaRussia”. Because nobody would prosecute and jail the 10,000 crimes up to now. Or enforce the Constitution, the social contract between people and government. Is that contract void yet? Or should we go enforce it?

    No bank run yet, so good job Brownie. More are taken out every minute though, as with the Nickel margin calls.

    Yes, DON’T DO ANYTHING!!! Quiver in fear, masked in your basement, but for God’s sake, DON’T DO ANYTHING! Only institutions are allowed to do anything, mister. And the “Individuals” that make up the “Institution”? Yeah, they GOT the memo, Buster, so they are NOT going to do “anything” either. That is a job for somebody else, not me, Mr. Chair-warmer, in the “Insititution”.

    “As the [death-free] Omicron surge recedes, millions of the country’s thrice-vaccinated find themselves wondering if now, finally, is their moment to enjoy life and stop worrying as much about COVID.”

    Um, yes? It’s time? Unless vaccines, totally, completely, strictly, diabolically, don’t work? And Omicron has killed no one we can find?

    Next sentence: “shouldn’t everybody—including vaccinated adults—continue to do their part, observing stringent measures to reduce the chance that they’ll get COVID”

    So the vaccine means you’ll get Covid. That’s a “vaccine”. Got it. That is, I’VE got it, apparently Doctors from Columbia, journalists from NY, and editors of major magazines have lost their d—n minds.

    We always get the disease we’re vaccinated against. Totally normal. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten polio, mumps, measles, rubella, tetanus…. I’d forward the dictionary definition of “Vaccine” but you’re illiterate so why bother.

    Not satisfied with being an embarrassing moron, shaming his family and school, he adds: “What individuals can do to fight the pandemic is simple: Get vaccinated.” YOU JUST SAID THE VACCINATED GET THE DISEASE! How would I fight the spread with something that doesn’t fight the spread?

    boosted adults are still far less likely to require hospitalization and 41 times less likely to die from COVID.”

    Embarrassing himself by lying against all data in the UK and Ireland, Israel… Embarrassing himself, but KILLING OTHERS with his data-opposite advice.

    “In a population with near-universal vaccine uptake and boosting, COVID would never overwhelm the health-care system,”

    Except in Ireland, UK, Israel… where every data is the OPPOSITE. Rather than look, they stopped publishing the truth and data. Scienz!

    Many may choose to continue masking … and they should do what makes them feel most comfortable.”

    …And not instead do what the Science says. Me, I don’t oppose this, it’s a free country. However YOU’RE the one promoting #Science. So promote it now for once: All masks PLUS lockdowns had 1.5% efficacy according to modern studies. Tell the truth. Therefore, masking is not #Science.

    “Others might want to use rapid testing before a large family gathering.” Why would they do this? Because they’re all vaccinated and immune? Because you have a cure?

    “the future of the pandemic does not depend on vaccinated people like me avoiding getting COVID forever.”

    …Because “the vaccinated get Covid,” Pancake-head. The vaccine does not prevent Covid, nor its spread. Therefore: NOT A VACCINE. So the future of the pandemic means: You’re going to get it. This is official CDC data and guidance. Therefore, why bother? Do not avoid it = we need no measures now. But you want continuing measures because we’re NOT going to avoid it and we’re going to get it?

    “we should look to institutions—both public and private—to do three things: increase vaccinations, reduce spread, and improve treatment”

    YOU JUST SAID THE VACCINES DON’T STOP THE SPREAD!!! At all. Why would we increase them? And you JUST SAID EVERYBODY’S GOING TO GET IT. So why/how would we stop it? ‘Cause masks worked so well so far?

    You know, I knew Columbia was dumb, but I didn’t expect them to be IQ=50 either. Any Fetal-Alcohol NASCAR trailer trash who lost his last tooth to Meth is smart enough to know these several argument make no d—n sense, but this guy merrily proceeds on, killing all his patients in his Very-Important-Hospital, I can only assume.

    He goes on to complain about 80% vaccination rates in nursing homes, etc, while he also says the vaccine does not stop the disease. And lauds England, where the vaccine has INCREASED the disease.

    “getting the rest of the world vaccinated is the best way to prevent new variants from emerging.” Not if it doesn’t stop the spread and every vaccinated person gets it. Then it INCREASES the variants.

    Next bizarre promotion, from Deep-Blue “Atlantic”: Monoclonal antibodies. Yes, that’s right, the treatment that kills everyone, doesn’t work, and they both attack and cut off DeSantis for. “It works when WE say it!” So today, MCA works/doesn’t work so therefore we have a treatment that allows/doesn’t allow Emergency Use Authorization.

    He wants permanent masks for stores, as with 2 years and 6 billion people in the test study, they’ve worked so perfectly by not stopping the spread, anywhere, at any time they’ve been tried. And “The pandemic isn’t over, even for the boosted.” Er, whut? Then why would you get vaxxed or boosted then? The whole point of vaxxing according to all of you, to a man, was to “end the pandemic”. Which you said it doesn’t do, and everybody’s going to get it.

    by virtue of getting boosted in the first place, [This group, ] is among public health’s best allies. If we level with them now, they will be more willing to listen when the message and guidance change. Failing to do so risks losing their trust and attention completely.”

    HuhWhat? The people who get and transmit Covid can go on vacation and be normal humans, but the OTHER people who get and transmit the same Covid can’t? …You mean the Covid, Omicron, that kills no one? And we need to “Level with them”? Because if it gets what you want, you were about to and totally consider it a viable option to lie to them instead? And your message and rules are going to change AGAIN? You know this already? Before it’s happened yet? And “failing will lose their trust”? Someday, in the future? But not already for 24 months running, in the past?

    And you wonder why I say they eat glue. WigginOuthttps://i.imgflip.com/2amewh.jpg What else could explain such mind-bendingly illogical behavior, with deep pride and no awareness?

    Homicide in Ukraine is 2,000/ year so let’s say 166 of those 400 murders are “normal.” And we know a number of them are friendly fire, civilians fleeing Azov districts, etc.

    We’re all going to be gleaners soon. The only thing worse than that would be, without combine parts, we have to go into the fields by hand again not as gleaners but harvesters. We have no tools, no sickles, no scythes, no skill, no sheaves, no barns, no threshers, no granaries, no pantries, and most likely in that case, no trucks to move all the people and sheaves. That places the planet on the apex of one machine that has massive parts disruption: a $500,000 harvester combine. I’m sure after the Dark Ages, the new Renaissance will use this as the reason the new Rome fell.

    Video: Or rather Biden saying the way to GET Russia to attack, in order to solve our own problems, is to expand. And then also have no diplomacy or response. Laugh in their face and 100 walk out of the room.

    “ The Biggest Global Food Crisis that Any of Us Have Ever Seen (Snyder)”

    Now you see why they wanted to kill all those people, that is, all of us. As I often say, there was still food in 1933. There is still too much food now. Do you see anyone re-tooling the supply chain to stop the waste, produce more, and stop these inevitable deaths? No you do not. That means they like it, want it, are happy about it. Rubbing their fists in glee.

    “The 1992 Doctrine is elaborated in an infamous RAND study on how to overextend and, in Kissinger’s words, “break Russia.”

    Since we openly publish everything, I guess Russia’s just too dumb to read us, plan, and respond? It’s hard for them, being small, but I don’t think they’re illiterate. We just think they are because we are.

    “US Secretary of Defense Orders 500 Additional US Troops Deploy to Europe (CNN)”

    500 whole troops? Will it take more than one Happy Meal to support them? And as far from the front as possible. Anglos always start the wars and run away. Let other people die for our cause instead. We’re not stupid.

    “the Biden administration into supporting the transfer of [MIG-29] Russian-made fighter jets to Ukraine”

    You mean sitting ducks that will be shot down without the slightest effort, killing a priceless pilot? Yeah, great idea. I mean, maybe you want to take a F-4 Phantom there too. We can crank start its propellers and use its AIM-Sparrow missiles. I’d say I hope somebody has more brains than politicians, but EVERYBODY has more brains than politicians. And reporters, apparently.

The Azovs were (Backed by the CIA/MI6 same as Maidan, with the same paid murders). So without de-Nazification, they can’t hand it back to you with any assurity. And they’ll pinkie-promise not to NATO for five whole years? While they just has 12 bioweapons labs there? Uh-huh. Pass. And last: they will uphold Minsk. Nope, still won’t, will never recognize Crimea. Sure pal, and I recognize that we claim Canada from the Revolutionary days, but that don’t make it so. Canada, you’d better surrender right now, buster. ‘Cause air came out my mouth. You can die first rather than recognize Crimea, that’s an option for sure that the generals have planned for.

    Australia Targets Hardcore Putin Extremists Spreading Hate about Ukraine (DM)”

    “The CDC claims that since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus has become “one of the top 10 causes of death” for young unvaccinated children.” Holy #$&@ just when you think you can’t be shocked by any new breathtaking lie. At least nobody’s listening now. Except fringe cult members of course; they’ll believe anything.

    Benton, you did hear about Solari who had a similar case, right? She got booted from Ass’t Housing Dept for discovering half the houses we sell mortgage bonds for in Fannie Mae, to, say, Norway and China, DON’T EXIST. More hypothecation fraud, which we are the undisputed leaders in the solar system on. Retiring, she started to look into houses vs zip code for spending…fairly innocuous, right? Again, world’s biggest hammer hit her, for no reason, from no location, essentially with the goal to imprison and/or murder her immediately. Those same docs would demonstrate all housing, all bonds, all banks, all collateral, and therefore the entire US/Anglo financial system was garbage, an unmitigated fraud. …But she didn’t know that. She only knew she was collecting data of houses vs zip codes, the most boring, public, non-descript, non-specific data imaginable. Sort of like a couple misbehaving doctors in one hospital of the forgotten, Nowheresville, US.

    Thanks to them being unimaginative glue-snorting wonders though, we have all cottoned on to their ways. Now whatever they ban or suddenly promote, and precisely by the measure involved, proves exactly where their weakness is. Thanks boys! You’re the bestest ever! Not every day your enemy is so arrogant, so narcissistic, so self-absorbed, and so retarded they daily publish their war plans and strategies, not just years ahead, but daily in real time. Should be a cinch to clobber them. All you gotta to is believe your lyin’ eyes and do it. We don’t.

    Yup, that’s Pancake and his fearless leader CNN. Where are the WMD and ties to Al-Qeada, as Jon Stewart said? Where’s that mushroom cloud? Is Manhattan underwater and are there more or fewer polar bears? Did those 15 days flatten the curve? How did those masks and distancing do for ya? Did the vaccine prevent Covid, the one and only thing it was supposed to do? Were the 99% compliant countries safer, or less healthy? How’s the daily death rate now that everybody has one; going up or down? I’m sure despite all that, now they’re telling the perfect, unvarnished truth in Ukraine. Feel free to watch the garden rake in the face video on loop until the answers come to you.

    Visa, still helping Russia every way they can by stopping credit card debt. Ah, if only they would do that in Kansas. But they have! If you voted the wrong way and your cell phone seen was at 1-6. Outcome? No debt or reckless spending for you, no profits or data tracking for them. Everyone goes back to cash. Sounds like a win-win. Is there any possible way I can MAKE this happen here? Please, please PLEASE Visa, PLEASE embargo America. Please. It would solve just so many problems. If only Coke were banned, we might stay out of the hospital with Type II as well, saving more lives every year than every man killed for far in Ukraine.

    “The war was supposed to end quickly, with a lightning strike that would decapitate the Ukrainian government”

    Uh, what you crayon munchers? Russia hasn’t shown the slightest indication of either a full artillery attack OR of taking Kiev in the slightest. This is one of the dumbest sentences this week, which it a high bar to clear right now.

    “Putin will be unable to win this war on his preferred terms.”

    You mean locking up all of Ukraine, taking no casualties, kettling all of Ukraine’s armies, and blackmailing all Europe with the control of rivers instead of capturing 2 broken TV towers downtown? Gee, you’re right, kettling up Ukraine’s armies and owning the right side of Europe are terrible terms. He really should have wasted a bunch of rockets on the Kiev shopping district instead.

    “Putin seems to be trying to reestablish some form of Russian imperialism.” Yes, someday he might have 400 foreign military bases, 15 illegal wars, and steal the whole world’s gold and currency reserves whenever he’s broke.

    “Putin is unlikely to lose the war in Ukraine on the battlefield.” But you just said he was losing and lost. So losing the war, losing the planet, that’s not losing now? …And the open advertisement of their strategy by these fart-sniffing narcissists that they’re going for “a new Vietnam.” Why don’t you take out a Front-Page in the London Times? Adding later: “Trumpet Alert here!!! We are going to attack – checking notes – North, that is the NORTH Caucus now! North Caucus, C-A-U-C…take notes.” (Putin took out the south Caucus with Kazakhstan just last month before this started bc Britain wanted a two-front war as usual.) Oh and P.S. “We are hereby now going after China too! China, start your engines! We hereby declare.” –Foreign Affairs, Atlantic Council DERP State, C.O.D.

    “Belarus is an example of a country that runs on autocratic rule, police repression, and the backing of the … military.”

    Like Canada! Except in Belarus and Russia you can legally protest. CNN is reporting on the Russian protests daily. …But not the Canadian ones, ’cause horse-trample.

    “Zelensky has been pitch-perfect in his appeals to Ukrainian nationalism.” As the whole Azov battalion tells him to “STFU geek,” on camera or they’ll stuff him in a blender, and is so confident in his country he calls BIDEN when there’s a paper fire and demands NATO do the fighting, to send men and shut down the skies. Pitch perfect to Ukraine in saying: “We’re weak. AND, I’m not in charge.” Yay us!

    Here’s a stunning lack of self awareness, he writes: “The long-term effect of these transitions [I.e. wars] is predictable. As the historian Paul Kennedy argued in The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, such countries have a tendency to fight the wrong wars, to undertake financial burdens and thus to deprive themselves of economic growth”

    Wars have predictable outcomes? That’s news to me. Russia is a great power? That’s new too. You just said yesterday they weren’t. Today they are again? Neither? Both? But the United States on the other hand… “have a tendency to fight [stupid, unnecessary] wars, to undertake financial burdens [and owe trillions in unpayable debt] and thus to deprive themselves of economic growth [leading to decades of negative GDP and ultimately crushing inflation.]”

    As if that weren’t the month’s highlight on non-self-awareness:
    “Information about what is happening … will pour in through social media and other channels, disproving the propaganda and discrediting the propagandists. This is an ethical dilemma that cannot be resolved through repression alone. Repression can also backfire in its own right. [Does it work?] just ask the Soviets.”

    “Assuming Russia will be forced to withdraw one day, [really? We’re not even proposing that as a given?] rebuilding Ukraine will be a task of Herculean proportions. And the West must not fail Ukraine again.” The way you failed them by goading them into trouble, claimed you had their back, then running away like usual? Like you did with the Hungarian uprising, the Kurds (3x), etc.? That kind of total fail? “Again” as you say?

    Okay, and don’t forget Mr. China, Foreign Affairs promises they’re coming for you. Not like you’d want therefore to protect Russia’s back, clear their Visa cards, buy their oil, eat their wheat and lock out Europe to cold and starvation they so richly deserve both for the opium wars, the Asian Crisis, and for their steady behavior and unceasing slander every day since then. …To say nothing of us across the pond.

    So we got that goin’ for us. But America was slated to lose this time around. Only right now the rats ain’t got no ship they’re in charge of, or even to flee to. So. Sad.

    “One Bank Sees 10% Chance of “Civilization-Ending Global Nuclear War”, Says Buy Stocks”

    That pretty much sums up the last 40 years. Question is: is it different this time?

    New source for lies information: expected Presidential Candidate DeSantis. His governor press conferences have questions about national affairs, without comment. I’m not sure how common that is for governors, but if I were one, I’d point out this is off-the clock musing. He says Russia has “made a mistake” – the GOP UniParty line – and is going to bleed by a thousand cuts in a ceaseless new Vietnam. That’s their play then. Or they think it is. I think I’ve heard similar words from UniParty HRC, Rubio, etc. Even Trump I think, though it’s not coming to my brain right now.

    This morning’s news, “Volunteers” flood into Ukraine. Uh-huh. Suuuure there are 100k of them, and I’m sure nobody’s helping them, nobody’s paying them, it’s always true that UK, etc stamp your passport into a war zone with a rifle under your arm, etc. Well, having no imagination, at least they learned from Russia inventing this – or more reviving it – in Donbass. Great, boys! Now can you describe to me how this is not WWIII? Russia is going to shoot the s–t out of every one of those Canadians, Britons, etc., and blow up every one of their army trucks, arms-laden Fiats, etc. Don’t get all butt-hurt on me now.

    And if that’s true, why should Russia not send some “Volunteers” to East Jersey? Dumber than a bag of hammers, I tell you, and we have seen this regularly. We do something in Syria or something, next thing you know, there’s a major train derailment or chemical plant fire in Arkansas. At the moment, since the West is determined to cause WWIII, they are matching us via the financial route, shutting off oil, wheat, and fertilizer. Other news, palladium, gasses used for lasers mostly come from Ukraine, and other goodies.

    But it’s important to realize the point isn’t to WIN this war. These people are religious zealots, bringing their new Maitreya or Madhi. They have no plans to “WIN”; the plan is ONLY to smash. The “Three World Wars” plan specifically is CAUSING as much hardship as can be wrought, by every means possible, as CNN with every dollar you have, down to bankruptcy, so as to have a war of all against all, the decrediting of all institutions, the fight of the world against some constantly shifting, well-funded extremists,

    We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose [innate] deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, [presently making the state their religion] will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.”

    We can see this now clearly in the actions of this club or cult which is also clearly led directly from the top with associations like the WEF and IMF, NATO and the gang. Biden, even Germany says universally, we must embargo Russian oil. – Okay, normal war, you d–ks. BUT THEY ALSO SHUT OFF ALL OIL AT HOME. No pumping or pipelines here, provably. No nuke plants not any alternatives in Germany, provably. No war rationing or positioning, provably. Therefore, the only POSSIBLE outcome, is the sudden death of a few million (poor) people. Their own citizens, specifically killed on “accident”. Oopsie! Did I do thaaaaaat?

    You want to explain this to me some other way? THEY claim it’s war, but we don’t mobilize? They know the food is cut off, prices double last year BEFORE the war, and will 10x now, but they do nothing? Uh-huh.

    Remember this line? “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” Matt 24:21 Yes, but it doesn’t HAVE to happen, it’s not “Prophesized”. They — the WEF, the IMF, Basel, NATO — are specifically MAKING it happen, FORCING it to happen, on purpose, knowing this is their express goal. They’ll still be eating 5-Star, maskless at their 5,000sq ft house at sea-level. It’s only YOUR kids who will starve and they don’t care. How do I know? British kids were white with hunger last YEAR as reported and they ALREADY didn’t care. They were giving golden promises to refugees then sinking them in boats on camera LAST YEAR And those Syrian camps in Greece are still open and still deadly. Athens still has soup kitchens in the streets. …So they won’t care, as they didn’t care, and haven’t cared, and I’m only predicting the present, not the future.

    Or in Islam:

    “The Holy Prophet (S) said: “There will come a time for my Ummah when their rulers will be cruel, their scholars will be greedy and have little piety, their worshippers (will act) hypocritically, their merchants will commit usury and conceal the defects of their buyings and sellings and their women will be busy with the ornaments of the world. Hence, at this time, the most vicious of them will dominate over them, and their good doers will invocate but they will not be answered.” Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 22

    “The Holy Prophet (S) said: “There will come a time for my Ummah when they will love five things while neglecting five others: They will love this world and neglect the next world. They will love wealth and forget (the Day of) Reckoning. They (their men) will love (corruptive) women and forget the houries. They will love buildings and forget the graves. And, they will love (their) selves and forget the Lord. Those (such people) dislike me and I, too, dislike them.” Al-Ithna ‘Ashariyyah, p. 202

    Now don’t look to them to SOLVE it, they are making choices such as shutting off YOUR food, and YOUR oil, on purpose, right in front of you. Don’t be in denial; they clearly WANT this. They want fewer humans, it’s a planetary imperative to them, and they’ve been saying so for 30 years. Please believe them.

    From out perspective, plan accordingly. Clearly telling anyone won’t get through although I’m at a loss to know what more Biden or Merkel could say to make it any clearer besides sending policemen to your house to shut off the gas and clear out your cupboards by burning your corn flakes in a barrel out back. Thousands, millions, will rather die than believe, than tell the truth for even ONE minute. Johnstone and Niomi Wolf published on this it this week. And that’s not just to others, which might be scary, but to themselves.

    If you don’t tell the truth even to yourself, you won’t have means to cover the doubling of gas and 10x in food this year. Won’t recognize medicine is being intentionally denied to you by any premise than can fabricate. Was 10x in insulin 10 years ago not warning enough? And a 50% rise in crude oil is followed by what, 100% of the time? That’s right, a bank run and stock crash from a liquidity crunch.

    “ Putin’s Last Warning Before Beginning Of The 2nd Phase (Saker)”

    Yes, and we already saw their answer: please PLEASE kill our people, Mr. Putin. We beg you: kill them all. Kill every German, every American, every Slav. Please do our work for us while we eat at the French Laundry and fly to Florida on the private jet during quarantine. Or rather, Putin will do nothing; he’ll just be the excuse. BIDEN will shut off your oil this winter and kill your OTHER grandma. Already has. Don’t think the food embargo nor the bank run can be stopped at this point. London trader Alistair MacLeod says Europe is the weakest due to the Euro/ECB not being real – a thing Armstrong told them in 1998 – and cannot draw on money-printing from member, i.e. national banks. Who are all totally, totally broke. Therefore they will collapse first, in about two weeks. Since one tiny bank could bring it all down in the 90s, or in 2008, OR a Russian bond collapse in 2000, then certainly London, the U.S. will not survive the lock-up and bankruptcy of every bank in Europe.

    Seem extreme? The BIS, etc, just told, oh, say, French banks, that their $15B in Russian bonds, corporate and national, are to be marked to zero. Russia didn’t do that. They might be arguably worth 30%. Basil did that. ON purpose, for no reason and to no end EXCEPT to attack Russia and collapse Europe, unnecessarily, and in fact, incorrectly according to accounting rules. And THEN they told 100% of these banks, “You can’t make your weekly profits on banking for oil shipments, palladium transfers, not in Russia, nor in Belarus, nor Khazakstan, etc.” So what’s that? Another $15B bullet in the head? For no reason but an intentional international suicide pact? A religious death cult of unnecessary smashing? You explain it to me then.

    I guess Nelson Mandela isn’t black anymore. Biden is the arbiter of blackness, so he would know.

    “the US response came in 2014 as a Western backed bloody Maidan uprising (Putin would call this a coup) led to a change of regime. This uprising was backed and funded by the US”

    Putin CALLS it a coup? That IS an illegal, foreign-backed, election-meddling coup. Definition.

    “Zelensky is a puppet & he is putting huge numbers of his own population at unnecessary risk”

    I think he’s not even in control and mostly never was. But it’s a heck of a tough neighborhood. If you don’t want to tango with and wipe out the whole Azov battalion and a few oligarchs you might want to stay home.

    “fire at the administrative building” Nailed it. How did I know? Every word of every adult in the West is always a lie. If they said it, it’s a lie. You just need to figure out WHICH lie.

    Rub my eyes I’m seeing things:

    “the U.S. erred in its efforts to prevent the breakout of war by refusing to offer to retract support for Ukraine to one day join NATO or substantially reconsider its terms of entry. And they argue that Russia’s willingness to go to war over Ukraine’s NATO status, which it perceived as an existential national security threat and listed as a fundamental part of its rationale for the invasion, was so clear for so long that dropping support for its eventual entry could have averted the invasion.” –Zeeshan Aleem, Vox, HuffPo, Atlantic

    https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/russia-s-ukraine-invasion-may-have-been-preventable-n1290831

    Read the whole thing. Short.

    Biden surrendered before the war even began, if it’s being printed does that mean the glue-sniffing Derp State and their illiterate lackeys are surrendering too?

    Of course they have to add “Recognizing this possibility does not excuse Moscow’s actions, which are heinous.” If it’s an existential threat that Biden could have easily avoided, how is it heinous and inexcusable for Russia? Pick one.

    “what’s more cruel is that Ukrainians might be paying with their lives for the United States’ reckless flirtation with Ukraine as a future NATO member without ever committing to its defense.” .

    He also admits the U.S. was always bluffing Russia by doing this. (Duh, we have no men) The rest is a similarly cautious mea culpa that like Great Barrington, admits everything everybody knows and we say here.

    “George Beebe, a former director of Russia analysis at the CIA and special adviser on Russia to former Vice President Dick Cheney. “And we elected to make sure that the veto was exercised on the battlefield, hoping that either Putin would stay his hand or that the military operation would fail.”

    Adding: “ overlooked, forgotten warnings”, “I’m using the past tense there intentionally” “What’s happened has happened, and there’s no going back”

    They’re saying: “We FORGOT that goading Russia into WWIII would be a mistake and backfire on us and Ukraine. But let’s not worry about who did what to whom in the past. We all thought this same (stupid, failing) thing, amirite?”

    “The U.S. must do everything it can do to end this war … as swiftly as possible.”

    Does that include surrendering, and also cutting Ukraine and Poland into pieces, or what?

    “Expanding NATO was always hugely controversial” –MSNBC

    Really? That’s not what you said last week before catastrophically losing.

    George Kennan, the living legend who had fathered America’s policy of containment against the Soviet Union, called NATO expansion “a strategic blunder of potentially epic proportions.” Thomas Friedman, America’s most prominent foreign policy columnist, declared it the “most ill-conceived project of the post-Cold War era.” Daniel Patrick Moynihan, widely considered the most erudite member of the US Senate, warned, “We have no idea what we’re getting into.” John Lewis Gaddis, the dean of America’s Cold War historians, noted that, “historians—normally so contentious—are in uncharacteristic agreement: with remarkably few exceptions, they see NATO enlargement as ill-conceived, ill-timed, and above all ill-suited to the realities of the post-Cold War world.”

    No kidding! Where did you dredge this up from and how did all you brainiacs “Forget” it?

    “The major concern was that expansion would backfire” Huh. And five administrations and 30 years did it every day anyway. Every day, every way. Weird to do a well-known, ill-conceived thing so reliably for so long. I guess it was a big, durn “accident”.

    “After the end of the Cold War, NATO’s raison d’être no longer existed, but instead of disbanding, its mission shifted to democracy promotion.”

    What does that mean? Were there kings in Romania and if so why was it our job to change them? Did they have two administratives of the same oligarchic families with the promise of three more by 2024?? (Examples excluding Jeb; Megan, Chelsea, and Jr.) Other political families: Cuomos, Kennedys, Pauls, Pelosis, Cheneys, McCains… Maybe they needed us to show them how to really do it.

    The Russians were shocked by NATO’s bombing campaign in Yugoslavia, where NATO not only intervened in the affairs of a non-NATO country, but took sides against the Serbs, allies of the Russians, and did so without United Nations Security Council approval. NATO has also been involved in regime change and nation-building projects in places like Libya and Afghanistan. “NATO is a defensive organization; I don’t think it had any plans on Russia,” Thomas Graham said”

    O Rly? Since NATO bombs everything they find, everywhere on earth, with no UN approval, what exactly are they “Defensive” about? Their unrelenting war crimes? NATO member Lindsey Graham says we should assassinate and regime change Russia immediately. Is that defensive?

    we should have made a deal” Bebee said. “Graham, the former NSC official, also said the U.S. made a mistake in its approach.” Could we be more specific? WHO made this mistake, and WHEN will they lose their job or at least be thrown the Ukrainian mob? No? “Mistakes were made” passive tense, not by any person specifically, and certainly –I– didn’t make them, but made somewhere by some amorphous weird alien groupthink hive-mind we all inhabit here.

    “Ukraine’s Formidable, not-so-secret Weapon: Women” –MSNBC

    Apparently a weapon that loses faster than anything Russia could dream of. Brilliant insights such as “Women have also been central to Ukrainian society” ou mean YUkrainians families weren’t made of just men before now? As the Left here dreams of?

    “the front page on the New York Times of Ukrainian women volunteers, weeping, rifles in hand, as they headed to the front lines” Yes, nothing scares me more than weak, tiny humans crying in fear. This is what I said about handing 15 and 60 year old civilians their first rifle: stay at home if you want to live.

    Ukraine is about many things but certainly protecting democracy in the face of tyranny is most important” Except Ukraine was openly under a coup and Putin was legitimately elected.

    And including a full hour of the late great “Now THAT’S What I Call Propaganda, 2022 Edition”: the Sunflower seed lady, the Nazi grandma, Ms. Ukraine with an airsoft, and much, much more!

    Back to back: “Vindman on ‘Russia’s lack of strategy & tactics’” and “Zelenskyy pleas for more aid from U.S. lawmakers”Including completely entering the war with airplanes and nukes.

    If Russia is so stupid and sloppy, why does Ze need help from us? Because it’s a LIE? Pick one.

    Sen. Leahy: Putin Has Miscalculated the United States” –MSNBC

    In the sense that we surrendered even FASTER than expected, before it began? And officially Putin invaded UKRAINE, which, Senator, I believe is some small distance from the United States. So what do we have to do with “miscalculating” if we’re not involved? Directing the whole thing? As an open de-facto war on Russia, just as Russia says.

    And Hillary admits they’ve lost and surrendering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcWq0lv7g8g

    It’s subtle, but it’s there. She says “We can only do…” economic sanctions basically, which have no effect. And double back on them years or decades later, which the NBC article proposed. And she’s aware of it. On TV. So clearly they are also surrendering.

    That Alabama has interesting stuff, that Ze was under attack long before yesterdays “I’m not weak” video. But pointedly, Russia is taking Ukee to denazify, so they will kill everyone in Azov or on certain lists. So…aren’t they all hiding among the civilian evacuations like usual cowards and opportunists? So then what? The CIA hides them on our base in Poland with our other 20,000 men, trains them better, and send them back tomorrow? Or Russia takes Poland to remove them? In fact, since the US loves them so much, do they have to go all the way to Fairfax to remove them all? I mean, the entire (official) West has declared they are all Ukrainians now, in full support and alliance with Azov. Canada is carrying Azov banners. So what’s the plan?

    “high-ranking Ukrainian Nazis and their families are currently fleeing the Ukraine and filtering out to the surrounding countries while simultaneously trying to organize terrorist attacks within Russia” – Orlov

    You see, if they can merely withdraw to Prague and Paris, nothing’s being accomplished in Ukraine at all. In fact, they’ve helped the CIA get hold of an train them, Euro-wide. When they say they want a longer resistance to bleed Russia over time, that’s what they’re revealing. Only the loss of money in the West will stop this, keep them too busy and too broke. That’s coming shortly, we thinks.

    Come to think of it, this is 100% identical to WWII. Back then, the oligarchs, England, Ford Motors, everyone picked up a useless bundle of weirdos and their little Austrian leader, and funded them into a party that would attack Russia and execute MacKinder. …That he first them attacked EUROPE, — Western Europe of course, who cares about Eastern Europe whose people aren’t human — is history’s little joke.

    But those 1933 Nazis did eventually attack Russia as the Anglos arranged and planned. And it DID destroy them both as hoped. With 60M? Casualties? Yay!!!!

    So here we is again, the Anglos, CIA/MI6 funding some basement weirdos, turning them into a party that can then control a state, a state that has 3000 anti-air missiles and eventually nukes, and specifically point them at Russia, to support MacKinder… Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

    Now why would Russia, who took 2/3rds of the casualties of WWII while the U.S. sat home got rich, and was barely involved, be alarmed by that? I can’t understand Putin’s just an unhinged madman I guess.

    “Johnstone: Defending Freedom And Democracy Sure Requires an Awful Lot of Censorship: …almost like this has nothing to do with freedom, or truth, or democracy.”

    I can’t add anything to that.

    They hate us for our freedoms? While they protest Putin, while we arrest Ottawa and ring-fence D.C. with the National Guard? Pull your licenses, demand a mental health review, give protestors a year in solitary for trespassing? Sure takes a lot of police state to be as free as we are.

    “Italian Authorities Seize $70 Million Yacht Belonging to Russian Billionaire”

    There’s a lot of this going on. What I don’t understand is how the assets of private individuals suddenly become repossessions of the National State. Like, if I go to France will they steal my phone and sell it because of the Iraq war? What did I have to do with any of this? I was against it.

    Of course we are doing the same thing, or expressly, exclusively NEVER attacking the Russian military, but ONLY attacking the Russian civilians. Like we did to the million Iraqi children and said “It was worth it.” Shut off movies, iPhones, PlayStations, credit cards, shopping. …Of PRIVATE citizens. I think if you hate Russia, moved to NYC, but aren’t yet a citizen, THEY ATTACKED AND DEPERSONED YOU. An ordinary Sacha, just driving a cab and watching Disney at home. I mean seriously, WTF? Not only had a Red Scare, literal McCarthy purges, but now literally attacking Russian citizens – expats – and ONLY the citizens, everywhere in the world. While not ONE man is sent to the Russian front.

    And this helps how? It’s a cult. Because it’s mindless hate that has no methods and no goals, no review, only adherence. Well if there’s a Black List, I want to be on it. And I’ll use the other drinking fountain too.

    In the practical world what do Russian STOCKS have to do with anything? So the Greenapple KY 4H Sheep Club scholarship fund that happens to own a few shares gets robbed? You forced them to zero: That’s what happens when you allow only sells and no buys. But waitaminit here!!! There can BE no sales without a buy! There is always one buyer and one seller! Oh so SACHS was the only AUTHORIZED buyer. BlackRock was the only one PERMITTED to buy. After every other market participant was disallowed, and – SURPRISE!!! – prices fell. So BLACKROCK is the one that stole the stock FROM the Greenapple 4H Scholarship fund, that is to say: YOU. Aaaaaaan Russia was where in this? Russia didn’t steal nothin’ in these stocks: THEY did. Russia got robbed along WITH us.

    Wot a lot of Bastards. Lying, thieving, ruining bastards. Oh and honest price discovery in free markets there too, pal.

    Where did Fauci go? Same place as Cuomo, the hero, “presidential material.” February 17th? 2/17?

    Food, fertilizer: this is what Hugh Smith said, that since we have only one tool, we will keep winning until we find a situation printing money doesn’t solve. …And if the world plays along, sadly that’s most. But what situation is that? Shortages, skyrocketing prices. Money doesn’t solve that.

    Money is the REPRESENTATION of goods, it doesn’t CREATE the actual goods. Work does that. YOUR work. …You know, the work they are STEALING with the money printing.

    Maybe they will at last learn that, but I don’t think so. The reality will just go around them, leaving them behind. #Science progresses one funeral at a time. The #”Science” of #”Economics”.

    “”China is facing a complete food cycle collapse…”

    Uh, whut? China is the only place NOT facing a food cycle collapse. Since thanks to Europe, China is the only place Russia can legally sell wheat to. EUROPE is facing a complete food cycle collapse then. You idiots. I swear to God. What is it plants crave?

    “ Ukraine’s NATO Membership ‘Will Not Take Place’: German Chancellor (ET)”

    Hahahaahahhahahaaha! Except Germany has proven themselves “Not Agreement Capable.” I wouldn’t believe a word they’ve said after 30 years of chances! Certainly Russia won’t. They are taking matters in hand instead, as you have to if all your neighbors are murderers, thieves, and liars.

    Zelensky on Friday slammed NATO”

    I thought NATO wasn’t involved in Ukraine? Or – I think I got distracted yesterday – D.C., when the first and only person Ze calls about a house fire in Ukraine is Biden. I thought the United States wasn’t IN Ukraine, over there interfering? We have nothing to do with it, innocent as babes. If so, why does he have a direct line to the President as his only response?

    Thoughts: since the U.S. Military is against all this even with the latest ethnic/religious purges, Biden can’t send the Army there or they’d JOIN UP WITH RUSSIA, clean up Ukraine’s corruption, and go home. Clearly Hunter NEEDS the corruption, and how is the CIA going to run their drugs and launder their money without Ukee? F-Stan was suddenly shut off, and with it, all da money. Remember the U.N. report saying “Drug money flows are the only thing holding up the world banking system”?

    Chart: 45% of Americans are idiots who would immediately start WWIII if they could. Then wonder what happened.

    “How Ukraine’s Jewish President Zelensky Made Peace with Neo-Nazis (GZ)”

    We heard he didn’t. They told him to go f– himself, they’d do whatever they wanted, and like Justin, he put his tail between his legs and let them. Translation then: THEY are running the country, since Ze is not in control of them, has no power over them, won’t enforce laws over them, or bring them to heel. And not much surprise since Azov is funded directly by the CIA/U.S. and they only use the normal government of Ukee to cover it up and hide their Nazi support, dreams, and tactics. It’s no different: I’m sure there was a normal resistance government in Syria meeting with the U.N. while ISIS was controlling the ground.

    “I’m not a loser.” Zelensky said. Spoken like a true winner. I kinda like Zelensky. But that cannot stand. Resign if that’s the situation. Hand it suddenly to a Ukrainian Putin hiding in the shadows who will do what’s right for the country, and crack some heads.

    P.S. Hitler was “Jewish” too. …According to the rather strict rules used by the Reich to determine these things. So wtf nonsense is coming out of y’all pie-hole? The Reich wasn’t really anti-Jewish, like ol’ Whoopie I-stole-your-racist-jewish-name Goldberg said? But they’re all white!

    Kaleniuk is not just a journalist, but a member of the WEF”

    Armstrong warned be careful with this. Some were nominated for maybe going. Others actually went, completed, and approved. Obviously Klaus would be most happy with 100% of all leaders worldwide going, so everybody is nominated if they could be. Same as “Nominated” for a Nobel Prize. Virtually anyone can nominate for any reason. Only a few win.

    I don’t know which he is but isn’t this the modern version of “cannot accept titles of nobility” in the Constitution? That is, because you have divided loyalties.

    “ Bill Clinton Relaunching Clinton Global Initiative (Fox)”

    Is that their charity that was totally illegal and outside their mandate, has no open books as required by law, and has only built like 5 houses in Haiti, once? Wait, hold that: the houses were all “CGI”. Har.

    The existential threat of climate change grows every day as Obama buys yet another beach house. Democracy is under assault around the world, but especially in D.C. and Ottawa, who neither allow discussion nor protest. Meanwhile, provoking the invasion has put millions of NATO lives in danger, but mostly through food prices that will kill you later this year. Donate today!”

    “The Soviet Union ended in 1991.” –Roger Waters.

    …The fact that he even has to SAY this. Or I have to say it, every day. And STILL nothing gets through. 60 seconds later: Goldfish! It’s StalinPutinHitler, restarting the Soviet Communism…that we all support and love as Democratic Socialists? Or something? As Stalin, Putin, and Hitler are all #Opposites, roughly? Or we hate them because they’re NeoLibs oligarchic corporatists like we are, instead? And need to fight them so…they are…aren’t…like we are? So they will become more…less…like we are instead? Or something?

    And they wonder why I can’t stop making fun of them. If I kept saying FDRWilsonReagan, would it make sense then? And referring to the whole area west of the Mississippi as a “monarchy” owned by France?

    But Waters, trying to have brains, still walks right into “Required Propaganda II”: “Russia is an unadulterated neoliberal capitalist gangster’s paradise.” You mean like your own country, the U.K. is? Or the U.S. is? It’s CLEARLY “adulterated” at this point, as it’s CLEARLY 1,000 miles from what it was when Hermitage was looting it and murdering all ordinary Russians under Clinton. Life expectancy fell 10 YEARS. That’s unprecedented in the world outside a war zone so far. So…that’s a lie, plus a lie.

    “I would have voted … condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine”

    Okay great. And probably he would have voted not to put 1st strike nukes in the hands of Nazis, 10min from Moscow too. BUT HE DOESN’T SAY THAT. He holds to the propaganda even at his great age, attention, and insight. That’s all the Warmongers need from him. Good men do nothing. They “Forget to mention”. Like Wolf said yesterday, “I Ain’t Brave, You’re Just a P—-y” (P.S. the article was stuffed with the required gendering and dividing that cripples all resistance and thus supports with bad strategy all the Cheney-loving warmongers)

    stand shoulder to shoulder with all our brothers and sisters all over the world, irrespective of race, religion, or nationality,”

    Unless they’re RUSSIAN. And have been illegally embargoed as an open act of war for 20 years now. Because they won’t allow Clinton, Biden, BoJo, in to loot their yummy oil. Then we don’t stand with them. We attack the Russian citizens and ONLY the Russian common men and citizens, and nobody else. Attack Raytheon and Rolls Royce jet division for a change, will ya? Ya bore me.

    …And he’s the GOOD guy. Image how f’d up the uncaring and rotten thinkers are. Another constant agitator of best intent, Russell Brand, says the same things: “We (unequivocally) stand with the people of Ukraine.” But. But what? And not with the people of Russia? What does that mean “stand with”, when you’re going to actually DO f-all? Is that the citizen’s version of “Good job Brownie”? And because he adheres to the violent, erroneous propaganda, or feels he has to in order to say anything without being arrested (probably true), he then lines up shoulder to shoulder pro-war, pro BoJo, anti-Russia, even by default, by omission, and how is that peace? If we blot out how we got here, we blot out 10 years of Putin/Lavrov speeches, blot out NATO, blot out Iraq, Syria, Libya, THEN start talking, you’re doing 99% of MI6’s and HSBC’s job for them.

    Not great. Both trying to do right and resist, but with tactics certain to lose and permit all atrocities required. Just tell the truth. That’s all.

    “Commodity fetishism” Wtf is this but just framing normal processes in pejorative words? “Consumers drive production”? Congratulations, genius, you just said, “Hey, if I want to OWN stuff, I have to make it first! Now where’s my Nobel Prize?” Then this guy comes along behind and says, “Oooooh, but MAKING stuff is baaaaad. Us bougie writer folks don’t MAKE stuff. That’s for the underclass not the schmarty-schmartz like we is.”

    “delusional expression of collective utopian fantasies and longings.”

    Yes, things like “Not dying”. “Getting chickens in a pot.” “Wearing clothes.” “Affording a doctor.” Damn them!!! Damn them all to heck-fire with a spoon for their longings for clean clothes and warm houses!!! We hates it forever and ever!!!”

    You know WHY people live in cities, work in factories, and make packaged goods, and not on a scratch farm killing their own chickens on a stump with a hammer? BECAUSE IT’S MORE EFFICIENT. More gets done. More gets saved. More gets shared. More gets made. Now that’s not one-way, efficiency is the enemy of resiliency, but Dorothy left the farm in Kansas because working in a factory she can have heat in the house and afford a new dress. There are a lot of downsides, but how much up is there if it’s STILL more worth it to leave town and family and leave the dirt-ranch behind?

    Desires are infinite, that’s why free stuff doesn’t work. But what that means is, they don’t HAVE to make artificial need and planned obsolescence, they CHOOSE to. That is, they make your 2008 Chrysler break early rather than creating a hoverboard and a maglev train. Because they are in the CAR business and not the new-invented hoverboard business that would disrupt them. That is to say, they’re a protected monopoly, using illegal means to stop all competition. And is Pfizer, his example ALSO known for that?

    Capitalism! Yay, only when there are violently protected government monopolies and no price discovery, no free markets, and universal subsidies, where they legally require you to make certain products only a certain way, then are legally required to buy them! Identical to the Socialist and Soviet systems. Freedom!!!

    What I haven’t heard, but didn’t dig into is, WHAT building is on fire at the nuclear plant? The lawn mower shed? I think this might matter. Ze just got on TV immediately and said “There would be no Europe” the whole thing would have to be evacuated if Europe didn’t start WWIII THAT MINUTE.

    …Me thinkee that might be reckless. Me also thinkee that’s the world’s best motive to shell your own nuke plant, as we’ve seen throughout Ukee.

    Russia goes total gold-backed. IF there is no gold VAT tax, AND gold is convertible, they are essentially in that direction. Since Europe can either buy Russian gas or die, THEY now need Rubles, gold, green bananas, or whatever it is Russia tells the red-a$$ed d–k-nosed European proboscis monkeys to get them.

    So…the West is proudly saying they are flooding Ukraine with thousands of anti-tank missiles. Excuse me, sir: how is that not NATO and the West entering the war? “US Sharing Real-Time Intelligence With Kiev” We already are 100% of their training, intel, satellites, and strategizing, just like we were for ISIS? But we’re not in the war.

    Things like Sweden scrambling from Russian airspace makes me think they’re communicating. See “Six Days in May” MacNamara points to the Cuba warboard and says to the general: “This is Mr. Kennedy COMMUNICATING to Mr. Kruchev!”

    Russia is saying “Lay off and stop f’ing around, this is SERIOUS!” But he is talking to children incapable of comprehending WWIII. And as they said, a world without Russia ME, what do I care? Let it burn then.

    Ballsy. Since it was the Azov battalion and the government that supported them as the present one does that caused it.

    But don’t worry: every day the #Opposite, no one notices.

    Tim Pool has lost his mind. Apparently the conflict started yesterday when Russian OnlyFriends got involved. Nothing that happened between the sides matters before then. As demonstrating perfect propaganda: “I don’t need to look, I don’t need to ask, I don’t need to know because, telepathically, I know already!” The essential point here is: “Is Russia attacking Ukraine? Or is it COUNTER-attacking ‘Ukraine’?” Since the U.S. was entirely open about illegally toppling an elected government, “F the EU”, installing “our boy Yats”, supporting neo-Nazis, and filling it with weapons, you know my perspective. That arming NeoNazis with AK’s, tank weapons, making them regional police heads, and giving a blank check on the population doesn’t bother him is disturbing. …Disturbingly common.

    We support mass-arming literal Nazis ethnic cleansing based on no more than a person’s accent now and don’t care? How low can we go? “We” are all in support! “We” are winning! Nazis winning hearts and minds! Who is this “we” stuff?

    Gosh if only they would embargo that stuff here maybe America could get something done for a change.

    A ship sunk on the Black Sea. Isn’t that what insurance is for? A ship of cars just sunk off America, do they stop insuring cars? Besides that, Russia will self-insure if you don’t want to. It’s solvable, the crayon-munching toddlers in the West won’t solve it.

    “vaguely eastern European female child about the horrors of war.”

    They already did the (non)Reporter (WEF activist) crying, and the “incubator babies” on TV. But nobody cares what we think or if we believe them. What did I say about the new “Event 201” wargame, “Cyber Polygon”, where a virus takes down the (collapsing) financial system, just in time after it’s mostly fallen already (Russell 2000, most of NASDAQ listings)? They don’t need Russia for that, but they do need headline cover.

Where 110% of all registered voters voted in 2020, but specifically in only 12 U.S. cities and nowhere else. And is a “Puppet” who is “Not democratic”. Sounds like here.

    potholes and tax rates matter more than geopolitics” Yes, because WE’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. As General Washington told us. And don’t we have a government to help WE the People and not wander the globe for some other reason? To any peaceful nation geopolitics is a spectator sport for inside baseball because you’re just staying home anyway.

    “Russia will be able to exchange the withdrawal of its forces from Belarus and Ukraine in return for its demands regarding NATO’s return to the 1997 boundaries.”

    Yes, he’ll have an exchange of prisoners. The West doesn’t understand anything else. Or even this, yet.

    “How would you like it if Russia put missiles between the U.S. and Canada?” The West is incapable of thought. This statement will, and has, no effect on them. Just as it did in Iraq. If Russia nuked us, it would still have no effect. We would sit in our burned out cars and look at our turned off phones, clicking the melted buttons.

    Jimmy Dore has not lost his mind and needs to #TimPool.

    Direct quote from Ukraine, NeoNazis “We did the whole Maidan…if not for us it would have been a gay parade.” “The West gives us so much weaponry not because they’re helping us…but because we perform the tasks [they want]. We have fun, we have fun killing.” “WE have started a war that has not been seen for 60 years.” “Our armed forces immediately become a problem for all who oppose us.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfaAyiP8Wuc

    Hey remember McCain kissing and having gay sex with ISIS? Yeah, not the sex part, but everything else. On camera. Then he loved up gay sex with the NeoNazis in Ukraine. Anyone surprised? Biden and the Left Loooooove these guys and their Roma-killing, gay-killing pogroms. Unfortunately Fox and the Right are loving them too. When in doubt, RussiaRussiaRussia! I’m understating the interview. It’s far worse.

    Max Blumenthal: “Azov attacking civilians trying to leave the fighting, and … organizing average citizens and handing out lots and lots of weapons and small arms.” (if you don’t know military warfare, carrying a rifle you don’t know how to use makes you a target of certain death. It would take weeks or months to train someone to be a poor fighter, and when you’re conscripting 15 and 60 year olds, they still don’t stand a chance and will be certain death.) “…So it’s totally cynical, [the U.S.] is trying to use these fascistic forces to lead some kind of civil war that would cause SO many more deaths, so many more migrants, and so much more disaster

    “But the U.S. regime is willing to do anything it seems, ANYTHING, and [not] to spare, and at any cost, and [cause] ANY amount of bloodshed, to take on Putin, and that’s where we’re at today.”

    …As long as only Ukrainians die and not a single NATO soldier, I guess. We’ll fight to the last Slav and Ukrainian.

    So a thousand anti-tank missiles to the Nazis who “Really get things done” that is, “murder 13,000 citizens”? Three thousand anti-air missiles then sold to Afghanistan and Syria?

    “ Ukraine & Nukes (Starr)” Back to Tim Pool he says it’s ridiculous that Ukraine would have nuclear weapons. What? They did, and can, and have nuclear material and have the power plants to get more. “It was insane for Ukraine to give their nukes to their enemy.” What? Ukraine was broke, they need to be maintained at phenomenal, highly technical cost, and Duuuuuh! Russia was not their enemy in 1995. Ukraine WAS Russia. And we were already putting biolabs and pre-nukes like the missile launchers in Ukraine, last week. Run by the NeoNazis, who “Really get things done” because “Murder is fun.”Killing the Roma is fun. And we hand them nukes. Why would Putin be antsy?

    “Cheer them on
    Cause America can, and America can’t say no
    And America does, if America says it’s so

    And the anchorperson on TV goes…
    La de da de da de-dadedade-da”

    When Russia stuffs a tsunami up NY’s fjord geography will they take it seriously?

    Babylon oh Babylon, you have fallen in an hour! ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury. He gave a mighty shout: “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen!”

    Whatever. La de da de da de-dadedade-da

    “The people of Europe are expected to sacrifice themselves in order to support NATO.”

    It’s just the usual #OppositeLand. NATO is supposed to protect Europeans, therefore it sacrifices them.

    From article: “I believe that these chronically low oil prices ultimately brought down the top layer of the government of the Soviet Union.”

    Yes. J o’Seven said he was top-level involved in that and it’s SPECIFICALLY what they did and it worked perfectly. Reagan didn’t want to WIN the Cold War, he wanted to END the Cold War, and the MIC never forgave him. They wanted to nuke, murder, and conquer, which you see we would have nothing in the way of the oligarch world government. This was done openly: Rus had only a few exports for currency: gold, wheat, oil. We ordered Saudi to pump and leveled all of Texas. We ordered Canada to sell every last ounce who are still broke today, and we dropped wheat. At the same time, flooded USSR with U.S. dollars. Nobody cared how. They’d send a truckload of US$ for the worst inside leak about paper clip production, because that wasn’t the point. Once we had all the generals with a kitty of US$ to fall back on, they attacked the Ruble. Kondratieff told Stalin the Ruble was subject to attack if it was in a free-trade system, a thing they learned with E. Germany sucking 100% of Soviet production out of the country until they built a wall. So London suddenly dumped all the rubles the West had been slowly hoarding for 20 years, while increasing the US$, dropping all possible export funding. Worked like a charm. Soviet had no support, collapsed, and then we were supposed to reap our dividend of brotherhood and world peace. Instead, Poppa Bush got in charge and started saying “NWO” like 165 times. Clinton doubled down and bombed the smallest Slav, Serbia to see if they’d react. Then they looted for 20 years. The rest is history.

    They just tried this again in Ukraine, using it as an economic back door but the Ruble has no debt and is backed with gold, no dollars. Failing that, just started weapons hoarding and bio-lab creating for Operation Barbarossa Part Deux.

    So chronically low (or high) prices? Yes, of course. But we have the very same weaknesses. Now we’re the ones hollowed out with a collapsing currency. And it’s called the PETRO dollar. Russia now owns the “Petro” part, so we won’t long own the “dollar”.

    From the Article: “Russia realized that the rest of the world is utterly dependent upon its fossil fuel exports.”

    “The world economy should have known about the importance of fossil fuels”

    They did, that’s why they attacked, leveled, and invaded Russia. That’s why they have been relentless in attacking them now. Without conquering Russia and getting the oil, their whole world plan collapses. Cheney wasn’t wrong when he demanded we nuke them in 1995 when they were still weak. Evil, soulless, calculating, and murderous, yes, but not wrong. It’s also why they need to both bottle up and attack Iran. But that what was formerly a huge issue now barely registers against the problem of Russia.

    “Few people in America and Europe realize that the world economy is entirely dependent upon Russia’s exports of oil, coal and natural gas.”

    Yes, this is on purpose or we’d all say “Heeeeeyyyy…I smell a rat.” How did OUR oil get under THEIR country? And why is Russia the most important nation in the world?” Yes, better not to admit and fire anyone who does.

    “North America has historically played only a very small role in natural gas exports; it is questionable whether North America can ramp up its total natural gas production”

    Duh, we can’t; we never could. We were supposed to overturn and conquer Russia. That’s why no LNG ships or ports were built. We built one or two to have SOMETHING to point at, but nobody’s really that stupid. The only plan was ever to attack, kill, and sell Russia. Like all failing dictators entering the graveyard of dreams.

    “Why do warmongers always say “Nobody wants a war”?”

    Some reason police with guns and psych wardens say “Nobody’s going to hurt you.” Because they’re thinking of nothing but hurting you.

    “Nobody in authority is asking how to deescalate this.”

    Wow, you are totally right. I took that for granted, but it’s important.

    Just thinking further. They need a reset. That takes extremes. The are being picked off steadily, and need to burn the casino to hide the robbery. Where is the casino? New York. So if NYC were to vanish, all the stocks they’ve hypothecated 50:1, which we can see in the naked short positions for years? 20 years? Like there’s twice as many shares worldwide than were issued? Ten times? 100 times? And how many bonds? The Treasury gave the magic pen to the insider broker-dealers. You’re saying they didn’t accidentally create or pretend they have 10%, 50%, 100% more? We’ve seen this in Failures to Deliver and other market arcana. So we have $30T debt? Why not $60T or $300Trillion if you add the broker-dealer hypothecating, counterfeiting if that is true? That’s why they locked up all books with FASB, and refuse all FOIA requests. …Or was it because they’re totally honest and the books are solvent and good?

    How do you hide this? The bribery, the records? Like Ukraine, well, with a war. A war there? Sure. But you need to take out NY. Like they did in hurricane Sandy when they all went home AND accidentally left the door of the Fed bank vault open, AND let it flood, AND didn’t notice, AND had all the Bond records there, AND then lost them, AND when they tried to clean it up, it all caught on fire, AND while it was soaking wet. AND the guy who did it was airlifted in a month before, then got a promotion.

    …You know, something that doesn’t send up any red flags, that isn’t suspicious, so no major papers in NYC report on it, like that. Because bank guards always leave the doors open, go home, and don’t call anyone. That’s just common sense.

    Anyway, nobody’s talking about diplomacy, settling down, peace? Why? Because they all like it. It’s a plan they want and need to go forward, not backward. They need it to flare up, not down. If the war was annoying and disturbing them, they’d get on the phone and stop it. Remember when Syria was winning and Israel or the U.S. wanted a truce, with backsies? They don’t want a ceasefire yet, therefore they are perfectly happy and want it moving forward. Gleeful, in fact. I’ve never seen Ms. Rice so happy in her life.

    Bloomberg map showing they’re not interested in Kiev, keeping the idiots busy reporting on the stalled convoy, out of gas from a nation the same people call “a gas station masquerading as a country.” Uh-huh. My bet was they’re waiting for something. Like Kiev to foray out of the city walls to get an injured, flapping bird.

    Guess what? They’re locking in the Black Sea as a European embargo, just as suggested here.

    Luongo, usually smart, posts this: “MacLeod: Both sides probably do not know how fragile the Eurozone banking system…” Well it would be a world’s biggest coincidence if they didn’t. I mean Kondratieff told Stalin this 70 years ago. Europe knows how bad their books are – it’s their books! And if we all know here, as outside commenters, same as said “Nasdaq is a bubble” and “Subprime is not contained” then I’m preeeeeety sure the FSS and Putin know.

    If the US/NATO respond with some kind of guerrilla war here to hang Ukraine like an albatross around Putin’s neck, as we should expect, then Europe is in big trouble financially. Because the financial war will keep escalating as Putin responds militarily. …There is no more War for Ukraine.

    I still believe that. This isn’t a war for Ukraine, it’s a war for the future of the entire world. Ukraine represents the hill both Davos and Russia have chosen to live or die on.”

    My apologies for making fun of Brzezinski. Ukraine was the flashpoint. Although he still lost it and it only was because NATO made this happen, just like MacKinder.

    “Davos has refused to let President Zelensky surrender because if he does then legally there is no more war to sanction Russia with.”

    Yes, and at the same time, REFUSED TO HELP. We knew the Anglos surrendered last month, when Biden “slipped” in saying he’d allow it and then our troops withdrew. They’re so d–n broke they’re trying to run the war funding on TikTok donations.

    Worse. Leaving the non-coal, embargo-helpless, troublemaking West STILL on the welfare bleeding NATO and the banks. Remember, Russia just sold that Ukrainian coal in a new contract to China last month.

    “Why has Putin not shut off the gas to a Europe that is rapidly running out of it?
    Because to do so would target civilian populations. If he’s not targeting civilians in Ukraine to minimize their anger at being invaded, then why would he use that weapon now against civilians in Germany”?

    Also he wouldn’t get paid. As an article yesterday pointed out that Can you imagine anyone dumb enough to start a war against their own energy, food, and commodity supplier? Europe can. So if Europe wants to fight in Ukraine, they are paying the cost of both sides of the war. …Which I –think– maybe was part of what Trump told Germany about Nordstream vs NATO spending?

    This isn’t rocket surgery, but the West is riddled with brain holes from all the crack they’ve been smoking all these years, it takes a wagonload of clue-by-fours to make them realize up is not down, and the sky is blue, and symbols and signals are not reality, but representations of reality …Which is amazing, and amazing when you think of it that you WOULDN’T press your advantage and take over the whole taco stand when everyone from sea to sea is dumber than Idiocracy, and literally doesn’t know what plants crave. (Fertilizer).

    West’s answer: you can’t buy an iPhone in Russia with a Visa card. Um, doesn’t that reduce YOUR sales and profits, Mr. Apple-VISA?

    Speaking of bankruptcy: “..over 800,000 people living in Ukraine have left the country to seek shelter from Russian aggression, either permanently or temporarily.”

    No people are illegal! Adding a million people with no houses and food won’t cause any trouble at all. They make the United States do it every year and we’ve never been richer, happier, or more approving of a President.

    Jan. 6 Panel Accuses Trump of Engaging in ‘Criminal Conspiracy’ (JTN)”

    Claim of a conspiracy no one can pin down while literally a conspiracy occurs in plain sight. The conspiracy by several layers of government to withhold evidence, slow trials more or less indefinitely, and publicly smear the accused while refusing a trial and resolution.

    “Translation: “the unreal is real, and the real you see with your own eyes, it not real.”
    Every. Day.

    Dr. Eastman’s emails may show that he helped Donald Trump advance a corrupt scheme to obstruct the counting of electoral college ballots and a conspiracy to impede the transfer of power,”

    As an example. This is the LEGAL PROCESS if someone thinks something improper was done. That’s why the process [Constitutionally] exists. Asking questions is treason. Having open Congressional investigations and debates is insurgency.

    How is this “corrupt”, “Obstruction” and “Conspiracy” to request the formal Constitutional review process? A: You used the word “Constitution”. That alone is treason.

    “New Zealand Reckons With Aftermath As Smoke Clears On Violent Protests (G.)”

    They burned a $40 WalMart tent in a public park? Sedition indeed! Call the Gulags! Apparently Arden and the people in government were never the cool kids and were never invited to New Zealand keg parties.

    “ with time I find more and more evidence that all “revolutions” were scripted and staged with big money and foreign government and non-government involved.”

    What the…? You only JUST noticed this??? Being a cynic, a progressive skeptical of government? Put down the crack pipe, man.
