    “The so-called border security provisions codify amnesty and would force future presidents to allow illegals across our border.”

    The person who wrote the above is either one of the greatest morons on the stage or a lying son-of-a-bitch.

    Laws can be repealed, Constitutional Amendments can be reversed – Eighteenth and Twenty-First Amendments-, bureaucratic regulations have a specific gravity of zero, a hydrogen atom being the reference material, and are and can be changed at will. (consider your local school board)

    The majority of the unlawful immigrants have been lied to and promised a future that will remain non-existant. Every citizen of the United States has been lied to their entire life and are being lied to at this very instant.

    The greatest tragedy in the history of the United States is the willingness of the citizens to lie to themselves. The belief that this group or that group is justified in ignoring the basic tenets of The Declaration of Independance and The Constitution of the United States of America whenever it is personally “profitable” runs deep. A cult of superiority runs at an even greater depth in The United States. This cult of superiority pulls one thread after another from the fabric of the nation. The fabric of my nation is becoming threadbare at the hands of the citizenry, one personal lie at a time.

    “There is nothing I can do, my credit rating and the property values in my neighborhood would suffer.” NIMBY
    I once thought it hard to be that hateful, I was wrong. Stop for a moment and consider a Moral Majority and a Tea Party. Mono-gamete bovine pasture enrichment is money from the penny on your dresser to the security of any bank account or financial security you “believe” you own.

    and the rallying cry of the lying citizens of deceit?

    “It’s Their Fault”.

    has anyone asked the immigrants living in airports, police stations, schools or on the street if what they have at the moment is what they were promised? Have they been asked if they still have hope? Gift cards can be emptied, debit cards cancelled or refused and cell phones disconnected from the network, do you think all of the pissin and moanin is gonna help when those become reality?
    Why not organize and tell the immigrants they, just like the citzens of the United States will be abandoned. Tell them, “You were brought here to be a slave”. Tell the unlawful immigrants, “You will insure your slavery and then be abandoned if you vote in the next federal election”.
    Have each church and civic organization set up polling stations where the immigrants have the opportunity to express their hopes and their position.

    Yes this is Humanism, a sign that a person has left the cave and returned. A person that was blinded when they left the cave and blinded when they returned. Now that their eyes have reacclimated to the dim light they are “Enlightened”.
    Why didn’t the person leave the cave after they went back in?
    Obviously you are a hate filled proponent of communism or socialism. You are just another ignorant dark ages oaf still believing in transparency in matters of trade and markets. You must still believe in the human social contract.

    What If?

    What if the first president of the United States of America warned the nation of the danger of foreign entanglements?

    What if Adams, a Federalist, introduced corruption by means of the press into the second selection of the president of The United States of America?

    What if 620,000 citizens of The United States of America died to ensure the industrial and financial sector eminence of The Federalist’s and the emerging racket?

    What if the racket murdered sitting presidents of The United States of America?

    What if a man named Smedley Butler wrote and spoke war is a racket?

    What if the man that ran the racket for the United States of America in World War II warned the nation of the danger of the racket?

    What if the racket murdered the two most courageous proponents of peace, human rights and equal opportunity of the twentieth century in the United States of America?

    What if it were common knowledge the racket lied it’s way into every foreign entanglement since World War II?

    What if the Supreme Court of The United States of America stopped the count of ballots in a presidential election and awarded the seat in a grotesque display of disregard for the Constitution of The United States of America?

    What if a sitting president of The United States of America bragged about his ability to murder innocent human beings in north Africa?

    What a sitting president of The United States of America murdered a human being that was a gift to humanity from One Truth Most High and braggs about it to this day?

    What if a sitting president initiated a Warp Speed project to poison the populace of The United States of America?

    What if a sitting president used an executive order and a national emergency to insure the populace of The United States of America were forced to be poisoned?

    What if a sitting president of The United States of America initiated and oversaw a “mostly peaceful” destruction of the nation?

    The usual suspects will show up day after day on comment sections on the internet across the imaginary political divide to tell each other how noble they are. They will tell of their thirty years of ass kissing duplicity to further the racket in a self serving effort to gain personal profit. These “noblemen” will slander and bear false witness against the just and least among us. These ubermenschen will refuse introspection or examination of conscience and point their fingers at the poor and the innocent as a salve for their wicked souls. Then in a final act of nobility they will deny any responsibility for the state of their nation.

    “There is an enormous thrust in our time to have a simple answer. And that simple answer is that all depends on Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve. And Alan, who is an old acquaintance of mine, is a marvelous performer in the impression he gives of enormously great perception.” ~
    John Kenneth Galbraith

    “Under capitalism, man exploits man.
    Under communism, it’s just the opposite.” ~ John Kenneth Galbraith

    “Among all the world’s races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong.” ~ John Kenneth Galbraith

    there is some thought in the United States, perhaps more prevalent than not, that the US military should strike Moscow and Tehran with a barrage of missles and see what happens. There is plain evidence that the United States reserves to the right to annihilate any life deemed objectionable. A test of the practicallity of this position seem appropriate.
    in the recent past i opposed this train of thought as unproductive, now in a perverse manner of thought i am warming to the idea such action would be highly productive.

    do you find it entertaining that much of the video background for the Assange piece above features scenes from the Bourne movies? In real estate it is Location, Location, Location in video it is frame rate, subliminal input, frame rate, preconditioning and frame rate.

Producing a personal sense of empathy for one’s own predicament must be quite profitable.

    all of the negative talk about “managed economies” as the brilliant capitalists whistle past the Federal Reserve Bank. The entire western global economy managed by central banks. The elite SDWBs gorging on the starving, poisoning, maiming and murder of children and the “educated wannabe” clamoring at the gate for a place at the table.

    V. Arnold how would you consider the thought that prediction has replaced measurement in management? The immediacy of Rent seeking and the narrowing of the planning window to hours from years is plain to see and even applauded. Looking at western culture from business to physics prediction appears to have replaced measurement and the outcome is visible across the board. The observation problem, The Uncertainty Principle, and entropy are completely ignored, and as you observe, have been replaced with greed driven by prediction. A connection to The Bloomberg High Speed Terminal is all that is needed in the most sophisticated Rent seeking. The ability to skim from every transaction at the small broker level. The ability to see a transaction and respond before the transaction reaches the trading desk. Greed.

    Copernicus as part of his observation of helio centricity maintained the “stars are fixed in the heavens”. The mindset of western thought remains at that state as the verse and information expands away at a frightening speed. The astrophyisicists used to maintain “there is no center to the Universe” i see this is not accurate, almost everyone i know is the center of the verse.

    I still have faith in the deplorables, the under educated, and my heart will not allow me to throw in the towel. A little styptic pencil and a wipe of vaseline and back into the ring.

    at the top of today’s page your immediate impression was-

    1. This only applies to blue collar workers and below.
    2. This applies only to the bachelors level of attainment and below.
    3. This applies to all education below the doctorate level.
    4. The statements within the image are taken out of context.
    5. This applies to all western education systems.

    Define insanity:
    Insanity is the belief that there is more than there is.

    There was a contract to develop a residential structure in Seagrove Beach, Florida. The contract originated from a single investor’s plans to utilize single family residences as commercial rental properties. During the time of the first draft a real estate agent partnered with the original investor. The real estate partner convinced the investor that the structure should reflect features of all of the most popular and most valuable properties moving westward from from Grayton Beach.

    The residence was to be four floors placed on one of the originally platted lots in the Seagrove subdivision. A mansion on a postage stamp. Light frame construction was the chosen structural medium.

    Moving forward from the first draft the real estate agent relayed the design intent to the person doing the (can’t use the correct word here without getting in trouble with the Florida Department of Business Regulation). The plans for the structure were being developed in a BIM program. When the design intent for the third floor was received there was an immediate question sent to the real estate agent. The question was, “What is going to hold this up?” The investor was copied in all communications. The response was immediate, a phone call which of course cannot be copied without a conference call. The voice on the phone said, “Don’t worry the engineers will figure it out.” The returned reply, “This is light frame construction”. The voice on the phone once again said, “Don’t worry the engineers will figure it out.”

    Structural engineers work from the top down. Mass, environmental forces, load path, foundation. We don’t know what it is but we have a name for it, Gravity. You know, that thing the Alchemist brought forth a formula for.

    The model was completed. All of the features of the ornamental facade were modeled so the engineers would be able to quickly and easily begin their calculations. The cantilevered elements were modeled as place holders for the engineers structural elements. Like the man falling from the top floor exclaimed, “all good so far”. The completed model was sent to a wooden truss vendor and a few days later, “You Have Mail”. “Hey cracker, there’s no load path”. Rhu Rho. “I will send another structural layout next week”. Have you ever heard fingers laughing as they touched the keyboard. Two weeks later, “Load path present, light frame will not carry the load”. You know, fiber bending and all that.

    A few days later seated around a nice table looking out at the mountain of Mountain Drive were gathered the investor, the real estate agent, a contractor, two structural engineers and the modeler. Just a coincindence, but the modeler was selected on the recommendation of the engineers. The mathematician of the engineers looked at the modeler and asked this question, “Did anyone say -“This is a bad idea”?
    The real estate agent responded, “Yes”. The mathematician replied, “You should have listened”.

    At this point the investor asks, “Can it be built?” The mathematician replies, “Yes with steel super structure”. Investor, “how much?” Mathematician engineer, “Thumbnail, 2 mil plus the cost of the designed facade”. Have you ever been in room where several people stopped breathing simultaneously? Try to get the last draw of your contract at that point. (The Art of the Deal – who doesn’t get paid)

    The 3d renderings of the model were beautiful. The dreams of profit were, well, beautiful dreams of profit. Every person seated at the table with the exception of the mathematician and the modeler lived in a fantasy. All of the digital information remains, the postage stamp was incorporated in the lot immediately to the north and a portion of another structures is in place. In Seagrove Beach the fantasy continues to grow and is as vibrant and surreal as it was when the first subdivision of that government block occured.

    The entire project from inception to collapse is an example of how the most beautiful model can exist in mental and digital space and where there is no load path or foundation there is no reality.

    Start with whichever economic school you wish, and you will find the same human weakness. That weakness is insanity as defined above. The most beautiful model of a dream is a beautiful model of a dream. To believe at this point in the twenty first century that the global economy is profit based is to have a model of a dream as your reality.

    The flow of money is the sole driver of the global economy. Derivatives are the fantasy reservoir of money imagined, that will flow through human endeavor and require the building of another fantasy reservoir of imagined money. A few went apoplectic, including all standard definitions, the last time this was written. The skim of the flow of money is the global economy.

    What has been the worry of some realists since October 2, 2024? The fear the flow of money would slow and the derivatives securties chain of calls would collapse the entire global economy right down to the ATM in the parking lot of your bank, is the terror at hand. When the velocity of the flow falls below the volume of skim – collapse. Be completely assured, profit has nothing to do with any of it, it is insanity.

    Just for fun let us imagine that the song Teach Your Children was first released in 1949. In 1969 the song Teach Your Children was brought back from cultural obscurity on the album DeJa Vu. The Album Deja Vu was re-released in 1989, to great fanfare, as a wave of missed the point swept across the cultural abyss.

    “Teach your children well
    Their father’s hell did slowly go by
    And feed them on your dreams
    The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by” Graham Nash

    “And feed them on your dreams
    The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by”

    I see that is true and that vision is debilitating.

    Kevin Roberts and Melei – fool me once, fool me again, fool me again, fool me again
    “The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by”

    paraphrase: we will use the remaining power and strength of the citizens of the United States to crush the People’s Republic of China and put and end to raising humanity from poverty once and for all. By century’s end we will have driven the huddled masses to our desired outcome. The common man will be debt based chattel.
    “The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by”
    ahh – but you got your’s didn’t you
    boy howdy!!!!!

    another paraphrase:
    “Don’t you ever ask them why
    If they told you, you would cry
    So just look at them and sigh”
    And – – hope – – they love you
    more than you hate yourself

    Red would you participate in a thought experiment concerning off grid energy?
    A hypothetical situation: Your daughter and her husband have two young children. The couple come to you with the purpose to take their family offline. The necessary infrastructure of home and sustenance are either in place or within reach. The understanding of conservation of energy required to gain success is in place. With the knowledge you have harvested what is the investment required?

    1. The bounds of geographical latitude that your experience would be applicable to.
    2. The scope of technology required, not to enter into trial and error, to insure a modicum of success.
    3. The cost of putting the required infrastructure, including backup(mechanical generators and stored energy), into operational readiness.
    4. The amount of resources to be put aside to create a fund for maintenance and replacement. The time that it would take to have these funds in place before necessity emerges.

    Looking as empathetic and compassionate human beings:
    What slice of the economic sector is capable of these investments?
    Within this sector how many are able to understand the necessity and to create the additional maintenance and replacement fund.

    With this information in hand, what value does the pursuit of this objective have for humanity as a whole. Does achieving the goal bring one closer to engagement with the affairs of men or leave one estranged, a clod washed away by the sea?

    Please don’t forget Westinghouse.

    Over the last twenty four years the most ignorant humans i have met all were in possesion of a masters degree in education. Within the next sub-unit were those with bachelor of arts in, you guessed it, education. Even made a short foray into the corporate world to appease a b.a. in education. You all know, only those of lesser intellect actually work as an artisan, can’t afford to damage the public image. Self-employed and choose the job, choose the day, choose the tools and choose independence, not a good look among the salaried ass kissers. Twenty years to reach the threshold between journeyman and master in multiple mediums – no value.

This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

    #1 – The first and most successful press psyop within the United States is the Federalist Papers
    #2 – The War Between the States, The United States Civil War, NEVER ended.
    #3 – The majority of information contained within the elementary school history
    during my youth is a half truth, the most damnable of lies.
    #4 – There is NO such thing as Neo-Nazism, there is Nazism. The scourge of Nazism
    has it’s roots in and has been fueled and nurtured by Western “Capitalism”
    to this very moment.
    The “Space Race” was the extremely thin veneer used to obfuscate the race for accurate intercontinental ballistic missiles. As the director of the Marshall Space Flight Center Mr. V2’s history is not a mystery. One might have thought Ole Blighty might have raised some objections to the elevation of Mr. V2 to the pinnacle of United States rocketry. Crickets. The common man is under the impression that Mohammed Ali invented “Rope a Dope”. The common man may have been knocked down as Western “Capitalism” leaned against the ropes, covered up and sporadically lashed out. The outcome will be, just as in the case of Mohammed Ali, nazism and it’s promoter headed for a death from septic shock.

    I am asking as a states rights populist. When will the preaching against bureaucratically managed Federalism appear in the daily discourse? That “ism”. (surely a rhetorical question) Although many confuse The Jungle Book with The Jungle, some have actually read The Jungle and are familiar with the Muckrackers and the history of the Noble “ism”.

    and for the Trump aficionados, The Murder of Qasem Soleimani, should history be written, will be noted as the Supreme Blunder, and the harbinger of the complete demise of western colonialism.

    another couple of rhetorical questions: How did that dollar get into your pocket? From making physical objects by assembling raw materials?
    Shirley, you jest.

    before Nelson and David Rockefeller and thier New World Order there was very little talk about democracy. Now that The New World Order has become The Rules Based Order democracy is on the lips of, well, almost everyone.

    how about a little more Kant for after lunch desert?

    Democracy is necessarily despotism, as it establishes
    an executive power contrary to the general will;
    all being able to decide against one whose opinion may differ,
    the will of all is therefore not that of all:
    which is contradictory and opposite to liberty.~Immanuel Kant

    what part of Rickards was selected is not obvious? Did i mis-hear the man say he was selected because of his expertise? Did the man painstakingly state his lofty credentials?

    Did the man speak only in terms of the past?
    Did Bannon, with only a short commercial break, leave a wide berth around the one important question?

    Did Rickards say that those who selected him did not make use of his “Victory”?

    BS, unlike the finest cognac, does not improve with age. The fact that someone besides Bannon and Rickards are footing the bill and paying them to provide answers to questions that are not being asked seems obvious. Mr. Bannon and Mr. Rickards are both advising that everyone look at and cherish the BS they were selected to promulgate. One does not enter into those prestigious halls of academia without an invitation, an invitation borne upon a selection process.

    Here are the questions:
    What is being gamed today?
    Who controls the selection process?

    Mr. Rickards and Mr. Bannon appear to have profited nicely for being selected AND ignored. Selling second hand information that informs of what is NOT being done.

    in an attempt to reconcile personally divergent responses to current events took a look in the rear view mirror yesterday in this order:
    Marshall McCluhan, Konrad Lorenz, Immanuel Kant, David Hume and Rene’ Descartes. First a moment of levity,

    “When I hear that a man is religious, I conclude he is a rascal!” ~ David Hume

    and then a reminder of why empiricism is so detestable from the same pen:

    “Justice is a moral virtue, merely because it has that tendency to the good of mankind,
    and indeed is nothing but an artificial invention to that purpose…….Hume”

    follow this thread of thought and it will lead to an unravelling cuff of Boris Johnson’s trousers. This morning’s highlight of thoughts on obesity is right in line with Hume’s celebration of Caeser’s affinity for fat men.
    Lorenz’ view of learning more and more about less to the point of knowing everything about nothing stands solid and intact. Descartes understanding that all paths lead to mathematics remains unassailed. What was looked for was found in the thoughts of Immanuel Kant. The following quote does not bring peace but a sword.

    “Even if a civil society were to be dissolved by the consent of all its members
    (e.g., if a people inhabiting an island decided to separate and disperse throughout the world),
    the last murderer remaining in prison would first have to be executed,
    so that each has done to him what his deeds deserve and blood guilt does not cling to the people
    for not having insisted upon this punishment; for otherwise the people can be regarded
    as collaborators in his public violation of justice.” ~ Immanuel Kant

    and now for the Jew haters

    the total world population identifying as Jewish is 15.2 million persons.
    the combined population of western Europe and the United States is 546 million persons.

    if 546 million persons are getting their ass whipped by 15.2 million persons, the 546 million deserve a Major Ass Whippin. openly receiving and accepting an ass whippin and crying about it in public is just not a good look. I have an acronymn for this type of person SDWB. (Short Dick White Boy)

    and from this vantage point it appears that 561 million persons are in line for a Major Ass Whippin. i will take my share of the ass whipping as the cost of association with my society of SDWBs.

    now back to the regularly scheduled programming

    Aspnaz until you include the Great Schism and the resulting centuries of brutality in your equations they will be falsifiable. Go inside any Roman Catholic parish today and you will find western culture among the parishoners. Look a little deeper and you will find those who Know the Good Shepherd and are Known by the Good Shepherd. I say this to you as a heretic, excommunicado. My abhorence for the Vatican has nothing at all to do with the Words Writ in Red or the human beings who live under the Easy Yoke and the Light Burden.

    Western Culture has not fully entered into adolescence and that is readily apparent to all of the societies within the ancient cultures. The Vatican is a State. The Vatican is and remains the purpose of the Great Schism. The Vatican, donning a Harry Potter’s magic cloak and proceeding under the illusion of truth, allied itself with the Monarchies of Western Europe. Among the dumb you deride are those who still believe in the Enlightenment. Take a moment and look at the dates of the Spanish Inquisition and the terror inflicited on the populace of Southern and Western Europe and then look to the dates of the Enlightenment. Explain how one of the greatest of heresies fully blossomed in the midst of the Terror of the Inquistion. The modern managerial class for the continuance of empire was being created. Look at the palace intriques and the murders and assasinations of clerics in the lead up to and during the Reformation. The enlightened got a Get Out of Jail Free Card and $200.00 as they passed Go. There has never been a free press and history has been written by those who control the press. Those who continue to believe the cockamammy history presented as the true story of Western Europe have to be among the dumbest in history.

    Those who cannot do, those who have no concept of the struggle to be humane beings, have always resorted to violence. Throughout human history violence has always failed, locally. The time has come where violence in pursuit of petty gains will fail globally. Those who cannot or will not do, will not be fully human and humane, will be swept aside. The fools, the ignorant, the dumb group are not to be found in the pews inside the Christian churches. The dumbest group are the ones who believe there will never be A Day or An Hour and that the most base of human characteristics will win the day eternally. Empires fall. That is a historically accurate statement that cannot be falsified. The dumbest group are the ones who cannont and WILL not see this current empire is falling and will destroy itself.

    Those who cannot see that symbiotic cooperation is the foundation of life on our home planet are willfully blind. Those who continue to follow the shallow thinking of those who might be represented by Machiavelli and Darwin, both products and proponents of empire, will continue on their path to destruction.

    There were no pro-Israeli conservative warmongers in 1861-1865 and +-620000 human beings lost their life so a handful of industrialists could maintain their grip on the economic engine of the United States.

    In the last two years a similar number have been dispatched into the unknown so a small group might maintain a similar position. To paraphrase Joe Tzu “You can’t be a blood thirsty thieving bastard and pro human dignity and value”

    “Out damned spot” did not work for the Lady and it wll not work any of the apologists for 500 years of rape and pillage. Ignoble is as ignoble does.

    There are 50 non-Jewish citizens in the United States for every Jewish citizen. There is not a “Jewish” problem there is a problem with pleonexia driven human trash, globally. Those who might exclaim “The one who dies with the most toys wins” or “I got mine” are among the human flotsam and jetsam that plaque all life on the third rock from the sun. All of this moral posturing is truly respulsive.

    of course participation trophies abound

    “That’s how you have to be about the two parties; stop thinking about them as two separate, competing entities and start looking at them as two weapons on the same enemy. Stop staring at one hand and start watching your actual opponent. Start watching their movements, start making some reads, and start figuring out ways to put some leather in that fucker’s face.” Caitlin Johnstone
