Salvador Dali Punta es Baluard de la Riba d’en Pitxot 1918-19 US Democrats and MSM are running down a blind alley, telling themselves there’s light at the end. It has become a mass delusion. For the largest part, it has been for some four years now. You would think they’d learn something along the way, but there are very few if any signs of that. Someone comes up with a rumor, a snippet of something, and the entire crowd

Pavel Filonov The Kolkhoznik (Member of a Collective Farm) 1931 Those winds just keep on shifting, no matter that the western press either doesn’t see them shift, doesn’t recognize them for what they are, or chooses to ignore them. But these winds bring tidings of a tectonic plate-shaking shift in the global political climate.

But
