DBS – Norwegian, French, Irish Catholic in the other corner. Pahdner you did not mention the Catholic part in the region in which i came up. Some of the boys had special come to the cross ceremonies you know.
Germ are you a person of the Book or do you use another metric to define your identity?Germ, one more and i will retire. Do you think all goyim are ignorant of the Talmud?
what do you think someone might have on Sean Penn or perhaps who has coerced Mr. Penn?
being a citizen of the US access to the purported budgets for the federal agencies and departments is available. Should one follow the growth of the national security state some idea of the amount of dollars spent over the course of time for the associated agencies can be deduced. Take the period from 1961 thru 2021 and the dollar amount the citizens of the US were willing to pay to not know what the foreign policy of their nation was can be estimated. One of the growth industries in the US is self storage facilities. Self Storage of excess consumption, many items of questionable value. Considering the dollar amount spent not to know, a state of questionable value, and expecting the population to abandon the bullshit they have paid for seems a little naive and quite at odds with observable behavior.
Germ and Dr. D – We’re all Jews now. Perhaps: Some of the Jews are more Jew than the other Jews. Irony is not dead.

most simple interpretation – “throw another virgin in the volcano”there is one thought that seems to escape attention rather easily, “and then they came for me”.
“Nothing is public because everything is a scam.” Dr. D
Everything is public because everything is a scam.curious why people think the most greedy and simple minded to be found have a greater capacity to control than the current crop of greedy simple minded humans.
Have you ever been in a crowd where chaos or panic ruled the moment? Your view of humanity will certainly change after such an experience. Telling someone else to “know thyself” is the chaf, seeking to “Know Thyself” is the wheat. The greatest threat to the United States and the West is the truth. Those who refuse to accept the truth about their own humanity are only a danger to themselves and no threat to the western status quo.
“whether we like it or not it takes five to ten years to build a fab and get it online for chips and such, never mind other areas of manufacturing.” Denninger
Five to ten years when the supply chain is in place, and all of the technical ability and resources are in place. There has to be a financial structure prepared for thirty years of in place investment with minimal returns. Or more bluntly, The west will offshore the failed economic system and import it into the west.aspnaz – “What proportion of the people in the west supports them? The governments do, but the people don’t, this is western democracy after all, there is no correlation between what the people want and what happens.”
“there is no correlation between what the people want and what happens.” bovine pasture enrichment, the candidate of the status quo has been supported and elected in the west without reserve. Let anyone gain a public platform and suggest even a “belt tightening” and see how the people in the west respond. “Do what has to be done, just don’t tell me and we can continue the nobility charade together”. I am amazed there are not more shoulder injuries from people patting themselves on the back. Tell the people of the west, “we must bankrupt ourselves,(increase our military budget), to preserve the current order” and see how the people of the west respond. Have a nation drain their strategic petroleum reserve to gain a fleeting political advantage and find the voices objecting on any grounds not political in nature. Murder children for profit, find the outrage. ‘We Think the Price Is Worth It’.
People can believe anything they want to and for the most part that is exactly what is done. People believe what they want, what is desired, is real. Perhaps Dr. John will remind us of the Eight Fold Path.
phoenix for your daughter:
the job of boys at your age is to ask to ask for carnal knowlege
the job of young ladies is to say “No!”point out that her friend is seen as the one in the cat bird seat and all of the others know they have no chance. Your daughter holds the gem in her hand and the value will only increase as she matures into the woman she will be. You cannot harass someone who is above reproach. Tell her there is someone she has never met who loves her and knows her value as a human being because she is my sister.
“The American way of life is not negotiable.” George H.W. Bush
How much clarification is needed to place this thought into current context?Formerly T-Bear i am yet to find anything on this plane that a human being cannot corrupt. When i was a teen my social statum used the pejorative WASP – White Anglo Saxon Protestant- as shorthand for hypocrite. i find that deciding where there is truth based solely on the text is more advantageous than discarding something solely on the location of the text.
Formerly T-Bear the following seems appropriate at this hour – ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
Dr. D: “The people are not galvanized to action. We’re just going to take it,”
The population, the vast majority of the population including corporate, are using the same metric. “is this action profitable for me personally?”. “Not profitable for me? Their problem, should have planned better”. My only duty is to the share holder – me!
Which term do you prefer?
Corporate Raider

U.S. patrons – Were you pro-labor in 1992? Pro-labor in 1993? Did you mock Ross Perot and his idiomatic phrase “Giant Sucking Sound”? Did you ever pontificate on creative destruction?
by his own admission Dr. D tires of clarifying the obvious
not being flippant, an earnest interrogative from an old man
What did you think when the Reagan foreign policy included hostilities with Grenada and Thatcher had the Faulkland Islands adventure? What era found their entrance onto the stage and what did you think the exit of the era would bring?
What is your opinion of unbridled deregulation at this hour compared to your view in 1985?
consider these rhetorical, the daily conversation should continue without disruptionIntrospection: Examination of one’s own thoughts and feelings. Introspection is the key that opens the door to discernment. “Man know thyself”
Discernment: The act of perceptive insight. To measure information and assign value. Discernment is the key that opens the door to logic and reason.
Judgement: The capricious abandonment of information, utterance of an opinion. Ignorance wrapped in arrogance.

The cultural bias is strong this morning. Opposite land – We’re the worst, We’re the greatest. It’s them what done it.
A bioweapon was released, pointing a finger at this point is pure conjecture. Dating the weapon to the January 2020 date of notification is ignoring evidence of infection around the globe prior to that date. The Islamic Republic of Iran has no problem identifying a culprit. Crickets? Doesn’t fit the narrative?A Chinese spy balloon, a Chinese meteorological research vehicle. Pivot East, War with China in two years. We’re the worst, We’re the greatest.

“But how to create such a hidden government? ” – Bardi
The government is not hidden WYSIWYG. The answer to Fermi’s Paradox is greed, call it Baphomet if you wish. Greed driven systems collapse as seeking an “edge” supersedes seeking value. Once again call it Baphomet or call it corruption. Describe the level of baksheesh accurately and look at the culture and how it is limited. There one might find a limit to growth.Dr. D a little thought for today. Government employment by state and district ranges from a low of 10% to the high in D.C of 25%. Did not derive a mean by calculation i will just use 17.5% for example. Each employee in the government sector has a ripple in the environment. Statista has a daily interaction per connected individual of 4785 per day by 2025. I admit i roll my eyes at that number but that would suffice for an upper bound in the ripple. In each case the standard of living of communities with a larger percentage of government employment will have more incentive to maintain the status quo. Upton Sinclair was pretty forward in his assessment of men keeping their job.
Friends, go back to the first comment and read through as far as you are comfortable. An important piece of the puzzle my mother imparted to her children is “Measure the pond first”
The thought creeping up from deep within is: What are we missing? – boilingfrog
Why have we been looking the other way for so long? seems a more pertinent question. What do most think rules based order or full spectrum dominance means? for somebody else?
Oroboros, residential and light commercial planning is my mainstay. One of my clients, a residential builder, has three foundations complete and ready for construction and no incentive to begin construction. The combination of high material costs, industry driven pricing increases and interest rate increases has brought this boom in the cycle to a lethargic pace. Custom homes, my niche, has stopped except for the few for whom price is no object.
A friend, who does steel detailing for engineering, and i speak almost every Friday. The commercial construction world is slowing to a snails pace. The company he sub-contracts from is centered from Pensacola, Florida. The arc of their business is from Biloxi, Missippi to Tallahassee, Florida.
Dr. D.s perspective that the investment bankers led by the FED are pursuing a plotted course has much appeal. The rub is all of the tools in hand create a fraudulent environment. Fraud to heal fraud and the result is as your posted graph shows.
When the pen was first put to paper in the delineation of the Declaration of Independence, put aside for a moment any class based perspectives, the conviction that self-governing men could bond themselves together as a self-governing nation was a radical concept that ran counter to a millenia of modern history. A radical concept. The concept that men are equals in pursuit of a just nation was and is a radical concept. I am a radical.
Are you a radical?
Do you wish to be a radical?
Do you long for Animal Farm?One perspective to press disinformation might be found by having a look at the Continental Congress of the not yet United States. All we hear today is Federalist and Anti Federalist, and this was and has been the story line. There were states rights populists and federalists in attendance. Who owned and controlled the press? The answer to this question may be found in the first contest between Mr. Jefferson and the Federalist Mr. Adams. In support of Mr. Adams Mr. Jefferson was smeared in the press. “All the news that’s fit to print” appeared above the New York Times on an illuminated sign in 1896. Fit to a purpose and that purpose has not changed. Myths die hard and the romance with a fair and open press is born of a myth. Please remember the alleged words of William Casey in 1981. What was your reaction after reading “Killing Hope” by William Blum? What was and is the narrative in the press concerning Mr. Blum’s pamphet? ……”everything the American public believes is false”, how long have you believed in a fair and open press? Gulf of Tonkin?, Weapons of Mass Destruction?, unprovoked Russian Agression? Manifest Destiny?
“He who controls the spice controls the universe” Herbert
Dr. D: “You cannot have two different justice systems.”
Sure you can. We have since the 70sPlease allow me, a certified red clay road trailer trash southern redneck, to draw your attention to the post Civil War Reconstruction.
Dr. D there has been measureable sea level rise. Using the years 1901-2010 and data from tide guages, accepting the upper bound, sea level rose 0.07 inches (1.8 mm) per annum. When the lower bound is examined the rise is calculated to be 0.013 inches (0.337 mm) per annum or about 1.4 inches(3.5 cm) per century. Some of the variation is due to land subsidence in some of the regions where the gauges are located. The rate of increase is estimated to be 0.007mm per annum at the lower bound and 0.12 inches (3 mm) per annum at the higher bound.
We are on the same page, the brush stroke was just a little broad. As noted earlier i am comfortable with anecdotal evidence of 0.1 inches per annum.
Bosco, one of my favorite Twain quips: “I was pleased that I could answer promptly and I did, I said I did not know”.
V. Arnold, the Christopher’s motto is : “It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness”. Guard the flame brother.
DBS and upstate, scaling the abyss is indeed more terrifying than scaling the heights of virtue. Experience over the years indicates that fortunately the darkness has not come particularly close to the lives of the majority of human beings. Mercy is one of the cornerstones of this reality.

US federal deficit 2022 -$1.84 trillion or 30% of the 6 trillion dollar budget. Are you receiving a monthly remuneration from the US Treasury? $1.50 of every fiver is debt. Looking for a little hope and change? Me either.
Consumer Debt – 2022 $4.76 trillion – 2.6 times higher than the US deficit. Maybe some cannabalism here? The TV says you deserve it though i’m not sure about that.
Mortagage Debt – 2022 $11.5 trillion. Buy high sell low, interest rates are rising.
Corporate Debt – Do those guys have any cash or securities beside collarteral debt obligation funds? Oh yes i remember now Fractional Reserve Banking, wink-wink, nod-nod.I don’t have Laffer and Roberts napkin, how about some demand side economics. The US is starting the year 2023 with combined US deficit and private debt of $18.1 trillion dollars with a gig economy. The exceptional and indispensible. “Don’t need a weatherman” On second thought maybe we do deserve it.
Tao
ThirteenAccept disgrace willingly.
Accept misfortune as the human condition.What do you mean by “Accept disgrace willingly”?
Accept being unimportant.
Do not be concerned with loss or gain.
This is called “accepting disgrace willingly.What do you mean by “Accept misfortune as the human condition”?
Misfortune comes from having a body.
Without a body, how could there be misfortune?Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.having long considered myself “gone to the dogs” thankyou for todays artwork.
Perhaps the most important task for us at this time is to speak with one another. We have an over abundance ot talking to, talking past, talking over. Some thought has been given to the possibility that human speech is an extension of touch, a means to extend the personal bond across space. Yesterday, January 13, there was some thought given to the Tao. Would you humor a stranger and an old man? A point of history first. My Jefferson first wrote “inalienable rights” these words were edited in the Constitutional Congress to “unalienable rights” to pave the way to the three fifths abomination in the Constitution of the United States.
Please read verse thirteen of the Tao and then ask your four closest acquaintenances to read the verse also. Pose this question to yourself and to your friends.
Have i steeled myself to the necessity to secure my inalienable human rights, have i steeled my self to the need for mercy, empathy and compassion that our future holds?
Could we have some anecdotal comments of hope?
love, crackerkultsommer, let me real in my brashness and be a little more civil. Within 75 miles each side of my residence and indeed centered around my residence there resides all branches of the US armed forces. There is also a large contingent of civil service. The revolving door starts at light bird in the service and at upper mid level in the civil service. Selling how the procurement system works is a quite a lucrative trade. All of the services under the executive branch engage in this system. This is not speculation, i played ball with some of these fellows for over 25 years. The congress is not the only culprit in non-functional overpriced trash.
The US armed services have an up or out policy. Those who advance, remember Lindman, are selected for reasons other than national defense. As one of my acquaintances says, “I thought full birds were special and then they made me one”. Living with the armed services for 60 years takes the shine off the romance. The colonel may be speaking how he “feels”, however he did not get where he is by putting the constitution, the nation and her people first. Not one of those i know in the revolving door serve the nation, they serve someone but not the nation.
kultsommer, los tres amigos are selling entertainment. Considering their stated backgrounds my guess is they are hoping to muddy the water in addition to the P.T. Barnum motif. Give the impression the adversary is stronger than can be justified. Do think any of those mentioned would give you an even break?
good to speak with you
A word about los tres amigos Americanos del Norte, Johnson, Macgregor and Ritter. All of these honorable gentleman have taken a National Security Oath in order to access confidential information. In the event they wish to ever gain a security clearance as consultant they will not break their pledge now. In their world that is honorable.
it is curious that the Western War Alliance spent eight years building the Ukraine armed forces and delivered no NATO arms to said nation. What could be in the salt mines, what could be in the salt mines? How about the NATO armaments that were supposed to be used in the siege of Donbas and Luhansk? The siege Merkel and Hollande tried to stop with the Minsk Accords.
lets go out on a limb and imagine that those repair depots the RF kept destroying were actually assembly points for armaments that were not there and had not been delivered yet. Have you seen any cell phone videos of NATO armaments being moved by rail? Have you seen any videos of RF armaments being moved by rail? Just a coincidence, fer sure.
Martyanov considers himself western. Proof? Everyone is stupid but himself. Exceptional!
