Kunstler, brilliant as most of the time, itching for some revolution.
Revolution in such divided society of “lone individuals focused of outrunning fellow countryman and becoming rich” is a pipe dream.
Interesting, first long batch of comments was nothing but the “wet dreams” as what they would loved to do to perpetrators of our misery, followed by the various excuses as why not to participate in revolt. Crown takes an asshole who claims that it would not be fair to his kids to leave them without inheritance that he worked hard for all his life and that would be lost if he had been a “revolutionary”.
Never forget builder of Levittown homes who once famously said that “if everybody bought his home there would not be any communists (read revolutionaries) in the USA”. Mortgage, car payments and generally still comfy life is great deterrence from the no-no behavior. I may add that there is also a general distrust that fellow neighbor would follow through.
Two years ago I had a thought that our 2nd amendment is the last chance to save the world. Not sure any longer, given what I have written just now.More than 66% of U.S. at risk of power outages due to Biden’s green transition: Regulators
And, yet, the Bitcoin is the lifeline and the way of the future?
Speaking of war planes, whatever happened to “stealth” F-117 Nighthawk?
Downed by Serbs during the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia.
Kill-missile was lunched from 4-ramp Russian beauty that papa-kultsommer was manning with his air defense battery just the decade before during the compulsory military service.Superb early Mondrian today. Long way from this to, three decades later, paintings of straight line grids and colored fields in three primary colors.
Just like “Hitler’s rant in the bunker”, “missing chapter” of Art of war can be easily employed and can go forever.
I used it in my early comments on zerohedge which did not win me many friends from the “gong-ho-America-first” patriotic audience at the time.
Follow up to “WTF happened in 1971” from day or so ago:https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2023/06/06/the-atlantic-magazine-feds-use-migration-to-cut-wages/
Easily explained, by some, that Lenin’s tactic was used to impoverish population as to bring in “bellowed system” to the country.
Comey in spanky designer outfit from head to toe, leg crossed high and self assured.
Life of a grifter.WTF happened in 1971?
Communism took over the USA,.
(According to some)Superb painting by an artist whom I did not know makes my day.
I newer thought that Mel was crazy. His drunk Jew-rant incident was “quietly settled” and not elaborated further – as what it is that bothered him. It was obvious that it did not come as “sour grapes rumble” from a Hollywood waiter=wanna-be-actor but from the top earner, thus with the benefit of merit behind it.
In the light of many recent mentioning the “importance of religion”.
Therefore you never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion.
He has proven to be a man of great insight. Now what?
Titanic story is bit of stretch. “Lucky strike” nevertheless.
In everybody’s mind at the time, boat was unsinkable.CONSENT FACTORY, INC. – C. J.Hopkins
Excerpt from the article link that brings memories of dealing with Dr D and jb-hb and few others in the comment section:A lot of these folks don’t see it that way, because they do not want to face the fact that what they are resisting is global capitalism, so they call it other names like “crony capitalism,” “corporatism,” or “cultural Marxism.” I don’t really care what they call it, except when they call it “communism,” which just makes them sounds extremely silly.
I could not have said it better, especially that last sentence.
One more think to add. Have “those two” ever notice that China in regular talk is simply China, however when the country is to put into really negative connotation it is always referred as communist China.
All coming from a “would-be friendly associate” apparently overtook by the commies?John Rubino interview
Financiers are the only ones that deliver grave news with ear to ear smile.Kosovo – 43 years old saga:
Right after the Tito’s death in May of 1980, Kosovar Albanians “discovered” that they’ve been oppressed and decided to express that with numerous massive strikes and disobedience of all sorts. Break-up of Yugoslavia was their moment when they did armed provocations against the Serbs knowing that there will be a response and used that as an excuse to call “literal uncle” Sam for help. Serbian ally Russia, at the time of NATO overtake was weak and on life support itself to intervene other than short and symbolic hold of Pristina airport. The rest was, as saying goes, a history.@Dora
I checked on wikipedia for a further explanation. That and Graeber’s “Bullshit jobs” keeps me baffled, given that system requires efficiency for maximum profit. I guess only the working bees, blue and white collar, are exempt from such a luxury.
No wonder that movie “Office space” struck a cord with many who worked in such environment and being familiar with every minute scene featured, produces weird sense of Déjà vu.@jb-hb
One of the reasons that I immigrated to the US was my young and stupid belief that system would simply not allow “incompetent person to be employed” and that I would be in the company of close to semi-gods as my coworkers. That and expecting that “fair market forces” are governing and determining merits and rewards for each individual – something that Dr D would still not stop blabbering about.
True, I had an opportunity to work with some really great professionals, however midwit managers contributing to more than half a dozen two week notices made me go on my own as a freelancer that, miraculously, made the following managerial bunch timid and nice to cooperate with. Go figure.Even though I agree with his stance when it comes to NATO and the West in general, Republika Srbska’s prez Dodik climbed to highest level of power from humble beginning as a war profiteer, mainly cigarettes smuggler, thus earning the nickname “Ronhill”. Just as in US, he’d stolen the election last year. Aside from old fashion staffing of bags and bags of fraudulent voting ballots, there are videos of him visiting job sites and handing 50 KM ($25) notes to workers prior to election. Cash money was from the State budget and driven in the trunk of the car during the “campaigns” – which is to say that Balkan politicians are more blunt, or “honest” if you will, compared to “civilized white-glowed” in the West.
His dream is separation from Bosnia’s federation where, aside from ridiculous shape of his new kingdom as shown as dark orange fields on the map, border at some places would literally run at streets of the Sarajevo.You live in capitalism. Encapsulated in a matrix pod of lies, invalidating your judgement, worldview, even your very consciousness.
From my comment above:
Damn every aspect and manifestation of human nature, especially the one that leads to over the top financial success (measured by the US metrics) and power hold.
So much for the price discovery there. They will allow it?
I think when Dr. D worships at the altar of “price discovery”
Dr D is submerged in hot tub of some fair game system that exists only in his head. Damn every aspect and manifestation of human nature, especially the one that leads to over the top financial success (measured by the US metrics) and power hold.
End of blog with animal photos and video clips offers brief moment of sanity.
Every time!Medicare (and S.S.) bar graph. Scary!
After 65 of age entire population jumps to fix medical problems that were accumulated prior.
My mother in law had a “house visit service” by some, I assume, “non profit” shit business. Twice a month temperature and blood pressure measurement by the “nurse” and thumbs up assurance by her that old bird is in good shape. She’s driving large Lexus electrical, so once she had to cancel the visit because her battery was low..
Ask for anything on Earth that you feel like having: diapers, cane, walker, vitamins….all promptly delivered to the door. Insurance had to pay $4,000 monthly for what I had seen as a scam and told my wife right away to cancel the crap, which she did.
Just in case if one wonders where the money goes.I love dogs as any guy next door, however some owners are deeply offended if you do not see their dog as their child. Entire homes were designed to accommodate Fido.
Mundane as i is, every bit counts and trickles to the madness that were in.Peter Schweizer talks Durham report on 77WABC radio.
I found troubling that blow-fish-face Alan Dershowitz is legitimate commentator, here and elsewhere, on the issues of equal application of law. The guy who exonerated himself by claiming that he had his underwear on while given the massage on Epstein’s premises, thus not a “real client”, like others I presume, for the service rendered. Talking about backstabbing partners in crime, that 2% is famous for.
As for the Soros being top evil, he’s got the formidable competition in the likes of Larry Silverstein.State of the Union (from today’s Unz review):
The city of Baltimore has filed a federal lawsuit against car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai, joining a number of cities who say the companies created a public nuisance by making cars that can be easily stolen.
I was almost to use similar to Germ’s sign-off.
Other than quality, Picasso’s work has a pristine provenance, thus allows for comfortable hike in bidding race. Usually bought by the people as investment rather than love of art. Such art “donated” to a local museum shields the owner from myriad of tax liabilities that may arose from other “fun adventures” that moneyed engage and are allowed by the system that many on this site call as a “glitch” or “bad apple” in otherwise great contraption.

Building technology and trades of the past are not available now days or, more likely, they are cost prohibitive – unless one is in favor of “pastiche architecture” .That “Media lies about Covid” video clip seems like distant nightmare.
Not so fast with the sigh of relief.
I think that, at this moment, we are subjected to “Good cop” treatment to ease build-up tension that arose from the fact that more people realized absurd contradictions and danger in the narrative promoted.
Rest assured that “they” are diligently working on the next step in this “time of calm”.
Complete societal break-down is their “full proof ace in the sleeve” if softer method does not work.From Dr D’s post yesterday:
“False Claims About
RussiaEverything. Continue To Cloud The ‘West’s’ Vision (MoA)And here I am, my face turning blue arguing in the comment section. People back in Europe had a quite a chuckle when I told them as what was a “theme” of my back-and-fourth with some TAE regulars. Mind boggling for them too.

Last week, Wednesday, in Serbia:
First was school shooting where 13 y/o killed eight students and security guard. Six wounded.
Second mass shooting, eight killed and fourteen injured.Event in Chicago celebrated by the Entire World. For uppity American worker, “soon-to-be-millionaire”, is way too “red” to even acknowledge 8 hour work day won and enjoyed, let alone celebrated.
Talking about good splash of Ajax self-.rinse through the skull.Six days a week Serbian cable channel “happy” features one and a half hour long program where three knowledgeable guests discuss and share their opinion about current geo-political issues of today. Evening, eight PM, it covers mainly war in Ukraine, then new alliances, digital currency, vaxx, all of interest from countries in the world especially the US – in
another word all that we at TAE are interested in, Commercial free, no stone is left unturned. What a concept and what a treat with the real cold cuts,cheese, home made brandy and good company.There is an idea that the public is to blame for the products being sold, because the public is purchasing the products — if the public didn’t desire them, the corporations wouldn’t produce them.
I remember the push back against an onslaught of telemarketing. In defense of the practice their “key man” described the business model as: Potential buyer does not know that he/she may need the product (long pause) yet!
Most of those products purchased went straight to the dumpster, never fulfilling the promise.
Most people want the quality appliance or device that lasts longer but it is not offered for the most part.
Most people would love cheap car with bare bone basics. Again not offered. I suspect that myriad of gadgets that new cars are equipped with (and buyer forced purchase in the package) is to keep the expansion of jobs for the jobs sake – which are entering the realm of “bullshit jobs”.
Anybody remembers the “Music club” from the three decades ago? Club that kept one’s mailbox staffed with unwanted cassettes and close to impossible to unsubscribe from.
I could go on….Biden Energy Secretary Wants All US Military Vehicles To Be Electric By 2030
No wonder. It is amazing as how many people think that by turning on the heat in the car one is actually using the “excess” energy that is above 100% that they think gas is utilized – thus “free”.
Those guys are my idea of the “Left”.
