"Most people do not get a clear opportunity to vote against Communism and prevent a historical evil from taking hold. We have that opportunity. Vote Trump." — James Lindsay
Concerning possible upcoming riots. As the Antifa rioters of 2020 attempted to expand into less Antifa friendly territory, in June they moved into Coeur D'Alene, Idaho after a festive night of mostly peaceful burning and looting in Spokane, Washington. Being notified by the Spokane police, the civilian population of Coeur D'Alene and the surrounding countryside responded by showing up en mass and armed. Coeur D'Alene escaped the type of destruction that was common in Washington State.
Warriors in Gardens all over the Nation ready and willing to fight...
The reason the Gardeners in the East Coast Sewers and Interior States having Gardener populations surrounded by Warriors are kept in check.
As all the Imperialists now known as Communists, Socialists, Nazi's...They continue to be TERRIFIED of the armed population of the U.S. impossible of being brainwashed as they desire.
Hmmm, American CITIES. The Leftist, and I will add Black here, governments of the major American cities have just about run out of money, of capital. Project what will happen when Adams, for example, runs out of funds to pay off the illegals. The Party of Chaos will indeed have chaos on their hands with no tools to offset it. What happens when the rest of the country finally tells the cities “NO”? It will not be pretty.
They're not going to stick around where the pickings are slim. This has already been seen with the smash-and-grabs in upscale shopping centers/neighborhoods. Because what's actually going to happen is a constantly churning evolution of opportunity seeking. Remember that *no* state/city/town is fully red (or blue), and that means saboteurs will be everywhere.
Yea, but the effect from unloading a full mag from a semi auto 8+1 12 gauge is priceless, even better with a wide open tube and 00buck , kinda hard to miss,
Yes, they tried that twice. Showed up in the local Winco parking lot in new Mercedes sprinter vans. About 50 of us were waiting for them. One of them got out with a crowbar innhis hand, and he was gently relieved of it. No shots fired, and a good time was had by all. Except them, of course. As for downtown CDA on Sherman Avenue, it was packed with us heavily armed locals.
Of course, in the deep blue states anyone preventing arson or felonious assault is charged. A big problem. Say thanks on my behalf to your brother-in-law.
Don't underestimate Antifa. Fat chicks and skinny-fat-chix-w-dix (the anglerfish couple): ANGRY, HATEFUL, parents' basement-dwelling HATERS OF THEIR PARENTS,
TRAINED TO GOUGE EYES, crack skulls, use flame-throwers (drano-in-the-eyes).
NOBODY FIGHTS DIRTIER THAN WEAK, delusional LOSERS OVERFLOWING WITH SELF-LOATHING, with adrenaline coursing through their skinny masturbation- and gaming-"strengthened" arms.
Never. America stands for decay, imbecility, and tastelessness. And it’s not all on “the Party of Chaos” either. The “official” pretend-opposition party pachyderms is part of the awful gaming and hoaxing of America, too. It’s all pretense: theater (of the absurd). “Saving Democracy” . . . “Make America Great Again” . . . “Drain the Swamp”—a sick joke; all of it.
In the words of Col. Douglas Machregor, “We need to understand how we got where we are today. [And] I don’t see anybody talking about that.” The country is schizophrenic, hopelessly broken, and can’t go on any longer. Soon, the big banks that resell government IOUs (the “primary dealers” of government notes) will not be able to sell any of it, and then the music will stop . . .
You are right! But how? The blog is a legitimate Bitching channel for lots of people, observations of the failing of the USA are plentiful.
BUT, other than this very compromised election, there are no solutions. Hollywood made a solution named “Designated Survivor”. The laugher, if you watched it to the end, was Sutherland’s realization that after personally rebuilding the government after it was blown up, and winning the next presidential election, the country was right back where it was. Power corrupts absolutely and big government is the source of evil corruption.
“How?” will take something that’s never been done before, a political activity with absolutely no precedent. The solution is for the “people of the United States,” collectively the absolute, supreme Sovereign power in American. There is no legislative body or any court (not even the U.S. Supreme Court) above the “people.” The citizens of the United States together, the states united, are (in the quaint language of our 18th century forefathers) “the fount of all power.”
This means that the “people” can at any time, whenever they please, alter, amend or abolish their system of government. (Article V of the Constitution does not apply, as it by terms applies only to government-driven constitutional amendments.). At a minimum, this would require a convention of the states, called by the “people.” It’s not at all clear to me, though, how such a process, which government (as merely the people’s agent) has no lawful power to oppose or prevent, would work. First and foremost, it would take a statesman, a bird about as rare as a black swan today, and true patriots
The beauty of the American system, on paper, is that the Constitution legalized “revolution.” See the Preamble; see also the Declaration of Independence. That’s the best I can come up with, in terms of a lawful solution.
The Constitution has nothing that would legalize or imply the right to revolution. The preamble just states the intent.
The Declaration of Independence does but that isn't the governing document. The Declaration of Independence is a quaint historical document that is ignored by the government busy ignoring the constitution.
The Constitution "legalized" it, but the federal government has passed laws against it. The military and the police should refuse to obey unconstitutional orders. Do they, ever? Would they?
I'm impressed that Trump was disgusted with the generals and wanted to talk to some of the lower ranked people. It's slightly promising.
As Solzhenitsyn said, Live not by lies. He condemned both the Capitalists and Communists, knowing that they are ultimately one system vehemently opposed to free nations and peoples. As for us, Americans fought for the global slave masters in WW2, allied with the Communists in Russia. Until we repent of that, we will continue to stumble and fall.
FFS, she's in Texas! I read somewhere that she did this because she believed Peanut was being "exploited." What exactly does that even mean? Should we abolish all "cat memes" now? What about Mister Ed? Lassie? Benjie? That little Yorkie in "As Good As It Gets?" SMFH.
This harpy has well and truly fucked up the rest of her natural life.
Yr right. Both parties are part of the theater for fools to rise to the bait.
After big Jim’s discovering that being “a life-long Democrat” was a not what he thought - now he’s simply switched attention to the other side of stage.
Some people (especially those who are so determined to prove themselves right (and bitter when shown to be wrong) -
never learn.
This column is an ongoing demonstration of such a case.
One party is more vehement in its support of Israel. That is one difference. The Democrats even allow anti-Semites to hold office as long as they're not White.
I notified them that I had withdrawn my consent July 4th 2008. Actually had opted out after 911. Dropped the SSN, got off grid, cancelled my bank account and went to cash and barter.
It wasn't always convenient at first Nancylee, but there comes a time when you have to make a stand. It doesn't take violence or angry outbursts, just a real determination not to any longer support and give your consent to what they are doing. They haven't had a dollar of support from me now for 22 years. You have to take a stand at sometime, there is a line you won't cross if you are a moral and sane person even if you are the only one doing it. Don't wait too long to take that stand.
So true Sedgwick. So much of the stuff I used to think I had to have to be happy was just a distraction for my personal emptiness. I had to take a look at that. These days I am happy with pretty simple things. When you find you are smart to pay cash for things that actually profit you and spend less than you make many would be surprised at how much more secure and abundant your life gradually becomes. The best part is that it frees you more and more from worry, insecurity and suppressed anxiety. We really don't need a lot of the things that people think they must have to be happy and content. You become more confident, self satisfied and build honest self esteem, and there is no wealth than can compensate for being without this inner wealth. You are going to get there, you will be a Xandari Prince. https://substack.com/home/post/p-151072802
Thank you for the encouragement! Possibly thanks to my prohibitive browser settings, on following your link, I saw nothing besides the caption. Is there something else there?
Once we see The Far Shore, a fancy house fulla crap no longer satisfies.
Yet, in many ways, I remain that chimpanzee, unable to let go of that large orange, whose hand remains stuck in the narrow-necked jar.

Again, I love reading your posts. We still live in a magical world.
Yep, that's why I keep as little of it on hand as necessary and save silver, gold and bitcoin. Own tools, five acres, a home I built myself off grid, a small garden. And it isn't really money in my opinion, just something a lot of people think is money, don't save it, or you are just holding onto a melting ice cube.
Yes, but when the SHTF do you really think hordes of hungry people who didn’t think ahead of time, which is going to be most people, won’t come to your door, trying to take your stuff? Fast, Eddie did few articles about this on Substack. To protect 5 acres you know how many men would need? And he goes onto explain even if you had a lot of men to protect everything you wouldn’t be able to feed them all. He was completely sensible in his article And he laid out why even the best preppers have a lot of weaknesses to their plans.
I picked my community carefully. We are in a location far from major urban centers, hungry people would have to cross a wide harsh desert to get to us here, and we have a gmrs radio among trusted like minded people who a small number of whom check on each other daily. These are others who are able and believe in self sufficiency. We are not defenseless. You may not go this route, that's up to you, but I would choose carefully where you choose to be and to take your stand with what is around the pike Sharon. There is a Higher Power which has been a protection and guide enough in the past since I learned that I can trust this Divine Presence is with me always.
We are in a representative democracy. The problem is that money and political influence of the parties have destroyed the connection between the people and their representatives. The corrupted government spends its time in attending parties and figuring out how to get money for the next election, rather than connecting with the people. In this country, now, that has been turned into a Deep State that believes the people are the enemy.
“Just exactly who do you people think you are telling me what to think, vote and challenging my job with elections?”
“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
At one point old Bob started railing against the border with Mexico. Borders get in the way of free trade and individualism (making money). Libertarianism is mind virus. It ends up with fat guys in a state of undress dancing on stage as at the Libertarian convention. Or becoming a "swinger". See Bob's later books as to his sexual obsessions. More serious people become corporations and oppress smaller entities as per the Law of the Jungle. This is the height of morality for Libertarians!
If you don't want to participate in a civilized society, you can opt out and live in the woods, or on a boat on the ocean. But if you consent to do most things in regular society, then you have to abide by the rules/laws. Those laws are mostly good, based on mutual respect, and generally keep people who would otherwise disrupt everything from doing so. But of course there are also oppressive laws, and that's why we have to be diligent in saying no to those. Which we have not done well enough.
Me? I like living in a country of laws. How else can you address a grievance if there are no laws? What if someone robs your home? Kills your dog? Mugs you on the street? You want no redress for that? What about food safety, etc.? You want be all chancy with that? Me, I prefer not to buy salmonella laced produce, but to each his own.
Well, now, all that largely depends on your race. Since white people have been made the new niggers in America, they now occupy the place black people had during the segregation days, and by federal decree, no less.
There are real laws and not necessarily the ones some corrupt congress passes. Having a centralized "authority" to whom everyone passes there power up to the top of the hierarchy is not the answer. There are other ways to deal with these things, but decentralized networks are one way. Look up Christopher Cook on substack.
Keeping the power down at the local level is important if you want to remain free, and the most local is within reach of your own two hands. There is the concept of common law courts and elected and paid sheriffs, Supporting honest competition instead of giving a monopoly on force to some of the most unaccountable and unreliable people who are drawn to coercive power and control over other people, because they have none over themselves.
Mr. Samuel Colt also empowered a lot of individuals with his invention that leveled the playing field between the physically large and brutal and the smaller and weaker. Those with some backbone stand up and take responsibility for their own security as well as looking out for their neighbors. That still happens in some places in Texas.
Don't buy food from the industrial highly processed corps(e) get friends with a farmer or grow your own or buy from someone reputable and do your own due diligence. Sue anyone who gives you a dangerous product and provide a disincentive for others to do that. Lastly, you create the reality you are going to have to live in unless you are just willing to let someone else, or a lot of someone elses do it for you, and not all of them are sane. That's my rant for the day.
I'm aware of all the libertarian stuff. I'm just not interested. I like my life and modern conveniences, thank you very much. If they go, I'll adjust. I also won't be growing my own food, as I don't have the land or the house for it, so that's sort of elitist thinking right there. I also work for a living, so I don't have 24/7 to farm. You should be lucky you can.
Most people can't afford to or don't know how to do most of that stuff and to believe we will is fairy dust thinking.
I'm happy for you if you are living life your way. God bless!
To each his own. Like you I have needed to work formy living. I am not a farmer, I don't raise all my own food, but I keep some stored and try to buy mostly organic. I like modern conveniences too, but would never trade my primary values for them. They are what the controllers use to provide the path that leads to dependency and then slavery. That is selling your soul for a bowl of pottage. I have many of those modern conveniences, the ones I most enjoy and that add to my comfort and good health. I wish you well Mary Rose.
Hmmm. What's living more like a slave - having to do EVERYTHING for yourself, and living in the woods with a dirt floor? Or taking part in a thriving community, complete with modern conveniences and food being provided for you? We will never be self-sufficient. It's a lie that we are told by the "sovereign citizen" crew. Speaking of work? I work from home most of the time, and 8 hours a day is not much considering how many hours of the day self-sufficient people have to spend working (at hard labor too, not cushy stuff like what I do) every day, including weekends. I've done the research. I go to a naturopath, I don't take any big pharma garbage, but my naturopath is paid. I don't do the research and pick the herbs myself. I'm happy with this setup. You can call it slavery if it makes you feel good. In which case, I'm a very happy slave.
+1 "Supporting honest competition instead of giving a monopoly on force to some of the most unaccountable and unreliable people who are drawn to coercive power and control over other people, because they have none over themselves."
A man can aim to control everything else as far as they eye can see, OR, he can aim to control himself, profoundly, in every way.
Both goals are infinite. One leads to misery and evil. The other leads to peace.
Buyer beware is superior to Government 3-letter agency interference. Mugging? Stay off your phone and carry concealed. Robs my home? If I am home and the robber enters, I defend. Etc. Easy. Don't be an insousciant American.
Nice perspective Real Mary. The horrors you describe are pretty much how things were in the late 19th century, when the Robber Barons ran the show. This is what the Tech-Bro Billionaires (Musk et al) want to return to, and are using the 'MAGA' as their useful idiots. If Trump somehow flukes the election (again, as in 2016), he'd be 26th Amendment'd out in a couple of months, and we would have President JD Vance, as run by Musk & Peter Thiel - not a pretty future for sure. The end of any environmental regulations and any sort of constraints on corporations ripping you off, while prices go up 20% (or more) because of the tariffs which are needed to give the billionaires a tax-free lifestyle. Vote rump? Are you kidding?
And what are you doing? Bitching on Clusterfuck nation? Why are you using a computer? Doesn't that make money for Bill Gates? Why aren't you out growing your own food and staying off grid? Because you're a big-ass hypocrite and would be the first person loaded on to a boxcar. I won't be, because I know how to get by - the smart way. Peace!
Big Tech's electricity consumption for AI data centers exceeds that of ENTIRE NATIONS and is anticipated to grow exponentially. Google and Microsoft are opting to build nuclear reactors purely to develop Large Language Models.
Note that it's "totally OK" for Big Tech to eschew windmills and passive solar power for "shit that matters" xD
As soon as you ate the fruits of the conquest you did. The Laws of Nature are very strict. Obey or die. Thus man's laws must be strict too.
The apple might say to itself that it will fly away from its mother, the tree. But it ends up obeying the law of gravity despite itself. Then it becomes food for worms. More law! if it is lucky it is picked and eaten by a higher being.
Every particle of the universe is under law. But you, Gwyneth, are not? Oh folly. Unlike the particle, you have some choice in who or what you surrender too. That is all but it is much.
Is it con-science or with knowledge of God and His Natural Law? Or is that just a fancy way of doing what you want? You don't have to answer. I'm just making a general point, not attacking you. Btw, I know that some agnostics and atheists are moral people. But as George Washington said: Only high educated people, strangely formed, can be good without a belief in God.
Gwyneth. If a birth certificate was issued when you were born, by default you became a defacto citizen of the governed. No action necessary. You CAN reverse that and become a free citizen but it's a costly and dangerous procedure.
The covid debacle revealed a lot. When the govt. put covid $ into my account, without my permission, it told me they would remove $ from my account also, w/o permission. So I did it first, only leaving enough to process usual monthly checks.
Do not forget the IRS that has the ability to destroy your life. It is the seat of the Deep States power. That is why Biden gave them more money and thus more power.
Oh so taxes don’t apply to you. That’s quite a different issue than making the kind of money one wants and needs to have their desired standard of living and choosing not to pay taxes on said income. Completely different than your situation. An excellent life is subjective, no?
Excellent points Jim! The hypocrisy exhibited is astounding. And yet by repeating it over and over they succeed in their mass formation psychosis to brainwash huge swaths of American population.
The unraveling of a legitimate, trustworthy election system will be the downfall of the nation. When nobody can trust the results there is no outcome possible besides conflict, hatred and maybe much worse. Pray for our nation to restore freedom.
Please allow our overwhelming apprehension for tomorrow’s election results to pause for a silent moment… and recall the late afternoon of July 13th in Butler, PA where most agreed that it was Hand of God that caused Donald Trump to turn his head at the exact moment where an assassin’s bullet would have otherwise killed him. The reason God turned Donald Trump’s head was to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
My husband commented the other day that he’ll just be glad when it’s over meaning the election. My reply was “it’ll never be over.” I really mean that. Until one side rids the country of the other, warring in some form or fashion will go on and on.
Yes, it IS the elite class against the puppets. They MUCH prefer Kamala Harris, but don't kid yourselves, they also largely control Trump.
On the big issues of defense spending, militarism, and cartel capitalism which determine how things are, both Trump and Harris are pretty similar.
Thus, events in the Mid East will escalate. If/when the US/Israel hit Iran's nuclear facilities, the SWHTF, and fallout will hit the US like the tidal wave, maybe even like a few bombs. That "wave" will wash over anything Trump planned.
Who was President during the lock-downs in 2020 for the plandemic?
While Mr. Kunstler assiduously ignores (or deliberately conceals) the great war crime of the US, in our day, TODAY, that crime being the enabling and supporting of the attempted Israeli extermination of the Palestinians, as this Israeli "Final Solution" has metastasized into something bigger, and it will further metastasize into a war that will wreck the US, it will be interesting to see what Mr. Kunstler has to say then. If he is allowed to have a say or an interet.
History rhymes. The outcome of WW3 (the Middle East) will rhyme with the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. In summary, this was the first time a European nation was defeated by an Asian nation. While not a total defeat (like Japan 40 years later), it was a huge defeat for Russia in terms of territory, influence and prestige. The war, and loss, accelerated internal socio-economic issues in Russia, helping nurture extremists who would later take over--the Bolsheviks (Communists) America's defeat in the Middle East will be leveraged by the "Woke-sheviks" here. You'll see. Oh, and Israel--well, without Uncle Sugar's "dominance" and bottomless aid, Israel will be compelled to choose between suicide or giving very bitter and angry, Palestinians, equal rights. Like South Africa. And that will be the end of the "Jewish State", regardless of what name it goes by.
I've said before and will repeat: The Israelis are defending their small nation against an array of many more Jihadists surrounding them. The Palestinians should have thought (and acted) better than to commit decades of rocket attacks, intifadas, and, finally, a rape-and-murder orgy. Hamas should not have used its own people as human shields. They have got exactly what they bargained for.
How many Israelis were there in Gaza and the West Bank in 1967? Tell us.
The fact is, the Israelis occupied both in 1967. In the West Bank, they've taken most of the land, and have set up an apartheid regime, as you well know.
In Gaza, they put some settlements, then pulled them out, but have blockaded the place since 2006, keeping them on "near starvation diet".
If you look at the numbers of people killed during the 20 years (or 30, you can pick whatever you want) by "terrorism", you'll see the numbers of dead and injured Palestinians are magnitudes higher.
You trot out the tired cliches about "rape and murder". Hell, your beloved IDF is sodomizing Palestinian prisoners.
You don't talk about the fact that Israel, before Oct 07, can stop, detain, or arrest a Palestinian no cause.
What exactly is the source for all the claims you make, Al-Jazeera or the Tehran Times? You have stated one extreme, others have stated the opposite. Usually the true story is half way in between
Bottom line, much to your chagrin, is that whatever the viewpoint, Israel is going to kick the hell out of anyone tying to destroy it. Any thing else is a pipe dream.
The buildings and cars of Sderot and Ashkelon are peppered with tiny holes. Holes, from the bb's packed into makeshift rockets fired at random. Ashkelon, by the way, is where Gaza gets its free electricity from.
Anybody who names a street after some savage who bashed a 4-year old little girl's head on a rock at the beach... they also tell me the teens they murdered blowing up a pizza parlor were oppressing them.
It appears that the 2M Israeli Arabs already enjoy their equal rights and choose to remain in your so called apartheid state rather to emigrate to any of the Judenfrei neighboring Muslim shit holes. Take your bullshit elsewhere.
And here we are again with the ignoring of history.
I suggest pulling head out of ass and looking up the rape of nanking or nanjing.
The Japanese were absolute assholes to anyone unlucky enough to fall into their clutches.
Odd considering the first world war Japan was an ally of England.
Or a nice little air raid by Germany called the Blitz on the Civilian population of England starting 9-7-1940 which crushed or incinerated 435,000 people in Britian.
Your history is missing huge gaps of data seems like all you ever want to do is ignore one side of the equation.
At best your'e an idiot at worst you are a propagandist of the lowest sort.
And therefore? Nothing is wrong, all is permitted! Israel is taking us back to Total War as practiced by the Ancient Assyrians and commanded by Jehovah in the Old Testament.
Two can play that game, Ben. Don't come crying to us when it's your turn. If human suffering doesn't matter, neither does yours. And the Holocaust, to the extent it was real, is rendered moot and meaningless by your own hands.
So the civilians in Japanese cities perpetrated the Rape of Nanking/Nanjing?
And the civilians in Hamburg, Dresden, etc, were the ones running roughshod over occupied Europe and burning villages and executing civilians?
Who knew!
Given the figures for Germans roasted in US/RAF raids in WW2, I highly doubt the Luftwaffe killed 435,000 Britons.
But if they did, by your convoluted logic, so what? "The Sun Never Set on the British Empire" during WW2. How do you think all these Africans, Indians, and Arabs were controlled? Britain gassed the Baghhdad in the 1920s.
One side of the equation is always ignored. It's not trivial side, or inconsequential side. For a variety of reasons, the Middle East of great import to the REST of the world, much more so than Rwanda or the Sudan.
Actions have consequences. People need to know the rest of the story.
The British Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Largest Empire in History and its Impact on the Age of Discovery, Transatlantic Slave Trade, the Americas, ... War 1 and more (Exploring England's Past) 435,000 number pulled from this book take umbrage with the source.
Aren't you exaggerating a little, Ben? Per HistoryHit, approx. 52,000 English civilians were killed in the Blitz, but at least half of them were actually killed by British artillery, which vainly tried to shoot down the German planes, only to have their shells often land on civilians.
"greatest crime the US government has engaged in since the incendiary and nuclear bombing of German and Japanese civilians in WW2,"
You lost me right there. One can argue about a lot of things, but I'm old enough to have talked to many WW2 vets, including my father. Never heard one, not one, complain about that. It's easy to judge the past from the comfort of the present. Wait till you're forced into situations you didn't ask for and then see how you'd react.
He is one of the nouveau folks that think war has to be conducted Nicely and civilians should never be involved.
War is to be won, period, with whatever means possible. If a people enable a government to war against others, the civilians are going to pay the price, and rightfully so.
War creates hatred and the feelings against an enemy that makes them unfeeling toward how they are dispatched. Ask any GI that was near Japan in WW2 or heading there if they thought the two bombs were a bad thing. In one word, Nope.
"....it's easy to judge". In hindsight, I think many people would agree with my point. I will say, I don't lose sleep over all the German civilians who were roasted. My parents where children in German-occupied Greece. They were lucky to survive. 5% of the population did not. What THEY, like every other occupied country needed, was to remove the Germans with guns. Killing the German civilians in cities really didn't help make life safer for my civilian parents and grandparents.
What DID help with that is the Soviets killing lots of German soldiers, and later, much later, the Americans landing in Normandy and killing German soldiers, which forced the Germans to leave Greece so they could fight the Soviets.
However, the Germans did have an Air Force, the Luftwaffe. They had anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns. If I recall correctly, I read somewhere most hazardous military occupation in WW2 was being part of a bomber crew over Germany in 1942-43, something like 20% killed. VERY HIGH. Hollywood even made a movie, "Twelve O'Clock High" that the USAF made airmen watch as part of our training...forty years later.
So the Germans could, and did, fight back, though with time their ability diminished. Dresden in FEBRUARY 1945 was defenseless. But the Allies bombed it anyway. It made Churchill feel good--maybe he was impotent and needed that?
Dresden was a manufacturing center supporting the remnants of Germany’s war effort. Yes, it was also a message from the allies to the people of Germany, from the Allies who did not give one damn by then how many German civilians got killed. If Germany had not gone down in April 1945, they would have gotten the bombs, not Japan.
They will likely have to do it from outside the govt they formerly held the levers of power in. The levers will be applied to them if they make mischief.
We heard this here in 2020 as I recall, with the DOJ investigations that went... nowhere really. The FBI agents who tried to undermine Trump. No one was punished then.
Sorry. The cabal controls the levers, and will continue to do so.
But it's not all bad--they will do whatever Israel wants. And that is America's top priority--both Kamala and the Donald are in full agreement on that, as are Mitch McConnell and Chuck Shumer. Cheers!
Kamala's party, with the blessing of the ultrahawk Cheneys, promises to continue BOTH the Ukraine aggression as well as Netanyahu's fight for Greater Israel. Trump, OTOH, at least promises to end the Ukraine war. I'll gladly vote for a flawed candidate who promises to end at least ONE war, instead of a know-nothing who wants the broke US taxpayers to keep funding TWO wars until we totally run out of bombs.
A rational point. Just in terms of strategy, the Ukraine thing is a boondoggle. Focus on winning in the Middle East for God's sake. Fight Russia indirectly, not directly. The current bunch is both stupid and crazy as well as evil.
Do you even remember in 1980 what happened when Reagan came into power with Iran. The nuts there had our hostages for months in a feckless Democratic administration. One look at Reagan, Iran sent them home.
The Idiotic war between Iran and Israel will be over very quickly with a Trump victory. Why? In Trump’s plan for tearing down the Deep State, that war in an obstacle.
Ridiculous. He's a dog on a leash that the Zionists hold. Netanyahu was the first leader to recognize Biden after the steal. They have no regard for us. Why would they? The slave is only noble when he rebels.
JAZ, you left something out here. Reagan's campaign made a deal with Iran to DELIBERATELY DELAY the release of the hostages until he was elected and definitely sworn in.
Oh my, I have to agree with Sd on this one. Trump winning:
Without a GOP Congress, he will be watching his back constantly
With a GOP Congress, do not forget the RINOS who want to cut his throat.
Even with a big win in the Congress, agency heads and lobbyists are going to continue trying to whittle him down. As far as the bureaucracy, it will take as many years to punch it down as it took to form it. Trump must do one thing, no matter what in his four years, enable his next in line, Vance, Haley, Gabbard, ???, to take the reins in four years and continue the fight.
Pretty sure Haley, Bolton, Pompeo and their ilk will NOT be part of a new Trump administration.
I think it was Robert Barnes who was discussing this on The Duran.
Trump already has a transition team working and there are no Neocons on those short lists.
One of Trump’s first moves will be to revoke all the security clearances of these type “folks”, including the 50 plus liars who signed the Intel letter saying Hunter Biden’s laptop was not authenticated and was probably just “Russian disinformation”.
Even though they ALL knew the FBI had authenticated it a year earlier.
This lying deliberate disinformation by supposedly “respected” top Intel officials, according to many analysts, was enough to throw the election to Biden. Had the voters believed what a fraudulent, lying, corrupt candidate Biden was, he never would have “won” in 2020.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cuz when the goin' gets tough ... the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's goooo ...
Here's my election prediction, it will be many more JHK columns before there is any "official" results to next Tuesday's election. In the meantime I look forward to the wit Mr. Kunstler displays twice a week. Thanks Jim.
There are two major issues at play: either half of our electorate are deluded fools or the people who run the media and the people behind the curtain running this shadow government are pure evil. Both of these can be true at the same time.
However, sometimes you have to reach rock bottom before you can rebuild a nation. it is clear that the deep state needs to be destroyed or they will destroy us. However, how can a country that is so divided become a melting pot again when we were edging closer to Balkanization.? All signs point to a Trump victory. Yet we saw similar signs in 2020. Buckle up.
The glue that bound the US together was the almighty dollar.
The chance to make money, and keep enough to enjoy a comfortable life, or at least much more comfortable than that offered in the land of one's origins for the poor and working and middle class, and the chance to make millions and millions for the very rich and powerful.
When engaging in activities that produce goods or services of real value (appliances, laundromats, medical, factories, hospitals) is replaced with financialization and services of dubious or no value (complicated tax preparation and accounting), the ability to create the wealth I referenced is eroded. That's America since the mid-1960s.
When debt becomes unmanageable, money becomes worth less and less, the system breaks down. That's American since Vietnam and going off the gold standard (Nixon, 1971).
America reached "peak assimilation", when people living here considered themselves "American", even those with heavily accented English, 1945-65. That is as "united" as Americans ever were, the result of putting a lid on immigrants in 1924, PLUS (very important) the crucible of WW2, where young male WASPS and males of Irish, Italian, German, Polish, Greek, Jewish, Russian, Scandinavian extraction spent a few years overseas being shot at and returned happy to be alive and with many of their old biases "erased". In 1945-65, America had only white vs black, and even then, no one questioned that African Americans were American, and society was "working on it".
Starting in 1965, and really accelerating after 1985, today, we have way more foreign born "non-Americans" than society, and soon the economy, can absorb. One more factor in the impending unraveling.
Hilarious. The Blacks questioned it - backed up by the Jews who created and funded the NAACP. Get a clue for Christmas. It might help if you put down the pipe.
Addendum: The Mexicans may have questioned it too. In any case, we questioned their presence and Eisenhower deported a million of them. One of the few good things he ever did.
No, all signs(polls) in 2020 showed Biden with a 4-5% bigger lead than he got. The polls are products of the MSM and supporters and are very biased Left. Watch Rasmussen for a little more neutral polling. Or You Tube’s polling averaging sites. In both, Trump is way ahead. Remember too that a polling tie, because of the Left bias, is bad news for the Leftists.
Empires try to be melting pots and it usually fails badly as it is failing with us. Are we an empire or trying to become one? Depends on the definition. In any case, the United States was created by Christian Whites for Christian Whites - with tolerance for free thinkers and Masons. Anything else is historic revisionism. They never considered Blacks and Indians to be potential citizens. A very few like Jefferson admired the Indians and considered them our equals. But that was rare and I don't know if he thought they could become citizens. He thought much the contrary as to Blacks.
Well that was the crux of the argument. Nations are ethnocentric and that ends when they become empires, conquered by the conquered, typically. By denying that, you are both wrong and outside the conversation. Anyway, since it happens so often, I guess it's hard not to let it happen. You see a fetching brown skinned girl and you forget about sweet Mary waiting for you back in the Motherland. She has your kids. You return home to Mary but you miss your dusky beauty. Years pass, she wants to send the boys to the Nation to be educated. You can't resist. They are your blood. They are smart and good looking. They intend to get with White girls and they do. Slowly, in this way and other ways, the Motherland becomes the Mudderland.
As a native of MD I offer apologies for the painful imbecility of Rat Face Raskin. MD seems to spawn moronic democrats (redundant, no?) as badly as Massachusetts.
That said pulling for DJT to wrap it up tomorrow night in a blowout, as late polls seem to suggest.
BB - no! A thousand times no! That is decidedly un-Christian. We have been saved by Christ’s grace & mercy & - according to The Bible - it is our duty to pass that grace & mercy onto others, especially those we disagree with. Praying for someone’s demise or a return of sickness is an affront to God. Please don’t do that. I know it’s difficult- I couldn’t hold Raskin/Pelosi/Schumer et al in any lower regard than I already do. But if I can pray for them to see The Light & turn from their wickedness then that is Christ working thru me. We need to all be conduits for Christ because- in The End - He is THE ONLY thing that matters & He is all we have. My “rat face” comment is really borderline anyway, see? I’m not perfect either.
I suspect Raskin is, at best, non-practicing, and at worst an active follower of Kabbala, which I'm told is the Jewish version of Satan worship. Regardless, I rather doubt he'll change his ways for any reason. I don't wish death upon him, but I also have no feeling of charity for such a vicious, evil bastard, either.
Suggest everyone watch MSDNC tomorrow night to see multiple heads exploding on the teevee, gnashing of teeth and tears!
Also The Young Turks in 2016 was great! All cocky when the polls closed with champagne flowing, but as the night wore on and the Javitz Center went all quiet (except for the wailing and sobbing), it was entertaining to hear all the F-bombs flying with Cenk and Ana.
10,000 North Koreans fighting in Ukraine. There really is no substitute for on the job training. Our current rainbow warriors have zero experience in a real shooting war against a real enemy.
"This is my rifle, this is my gun, this one's for fighting, this one's for fun" takes on new meaning in the modern US military, where patriotic troops and leaders were eliminated during the stand-down under Biden and a man pretending to be a woman gets to flounce around in an admiral's uniform because he's a deputy surgeon general (and a psychiatrist).
I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like the fix is in. Prepare to be disappointed as America shows the rest of the World that it has become completely corrupt, spineless, and gutless. The new "American Dream" might involve actually leaving America.
Think of what the quest t to stop price gouging will turn into. Any profitable business will be in their crosshairs. Especially a conservative firm like Goya.
Economic refugees will move to red areas to salvage themselves and their businesses if they can, which in turn drives up the cost of living for everyone. Happened here during the scamdemic and the end result is distorted property valuations, all thanks to The Fed and the FOMO retards.
Physical secession if not actual? The divide is becoming more and more obvious. Sides are being drawn and I can envision a “country” so divided that either side is isolated from the other and wanting absolutely nothing to do with the other.
It is not bipolar either. The world wants to tear down the police state the USA represents since WW2. How to do it without violence and nukes? Infiltrate and Balkanize politically. Non-assimilated ethnicity is going to divide this country without a shot fired. Think about the Deep State as just another ethnicity here, how can they stop the SW from seceding at the same time as the Rust Belt and the West Coast.
How? Non-White refugees/immigrants are being poured into Red America to stop this from happening. No organic change will be possible unless this is stopped - but how?
Wrong, it is exactly the non-White immigrants that are going to cause the schism when America's "ties that bind" are gone. My point is that it is not Red vs. Blue, it is Muslim, vs. Black, vs. Hispanic, vs. Chinese, vs. Philipino, vs. Russian, as each adds on more, the ability to hold it together vanishes.
Think about this, if the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor this December 7, how many of our new immigrants would sign up? America is no longer a country.
You're looking at a lot less grocery stores and a lot less in the stores that remain. Well, for us, of course. In Washington, they'll be doing just fine.
Biden and Secretary Pete made a deal with the longshoremen to delay their strike until after the election. I believe they gave them a 70 percent pay hike.
They think they are going to buy them off with a pay raise. Typical Dem thinking, union thinking. The number one issue is automation, and the impact on the workers. The Luddites are running wild here, not only for the dock workers but for all types of manual labor jobs.
I like to take thing to extremes to explore impacts. Think what will happen to this country if AI and automation are allowed to take over. THAT is what the Longshoremen are fighting for. They will not stand for a contract that does not include job guarantees. If Trump wins, we will definitely see his deal making skills. If KAmala, just another inflationary uptick.
I was thinking yesterday that the election will end up going to the supreme court, like it did with baby Bush and Gore in 2000, was it? And for the sake of "peace and safety" the court this time will give it to Harris, especially since they won't want antifa and BLM camping out on their lawns, given that the cops will once again be ordered to stand down in the face of the rioting, and, of course, they will.
If the recognized election result is again fraudulent the rallying cry will have to change from "Make America Great Again" to "Give Me Freedom or Give Me Death."
The democrat party would have no problem killing every Trump voter in the country. No problem at all. They're murderous evil people that have been given over to reprobate thinking, and there's no remedy for that.
The judge who issued the search warrant that resulted in two dead animals and an enraged world is a Democrat. I have no idea how the hell a Democrat won a countywide seat in Chemung County, NY, but he's apparently as bloodthirsty as the rest of their cult.
When are YOU people going to stop putting everyone in the same box? The KHAZARIAN MAFIA ARE NOT JEWS and not everyone w a Hebraic sounding last name is Jewish. As if the entire DemonRATic party is comprised of Jews, duh. Biden, Harris, Ovomit, Cheney, Pelosi, Bush, Clinton, Walz, Newsome, Holder, etc. And you sickos that constantly spout off about "that tribe" too cowardly to use the J word bc you know it's a lie.
Thailand, Ireland, Scotland... the list goes on and on. Many fallen countries after the covid hoax. New Zealand, another. I tend to just list the really big ones, but there are many.
Russia's also on its way to WEF glory, according to people who actually live there. Why should I know of every country that hasn't fallen? Why don't you do the research yourself, smart guy?
Israel. See Psalm 83, and New Testament verses telling us Christ returns to His Jerusalem landing pad... Islam started their own collective countdown clock to oblivion when October 7 Muslim freedom fighters circulated videos of Israeli mothers undergoing abortions with garden shovels. Many US elected officials have seen these and other Hamas videos of the events of October 7 2024.
This writer patiently reminds all hands of necessity for comprehensive
rebuild of pre WWII US railway matrix, branch lines linking agriculture with urban food processing and distribution infrastructure. Old Hat parallel bar therapy withstanding EMP disabled AI trucking. Old timer hers recalls all urban and rural locations benefited from 2 particular locations with repair facilities: the fire department, and local railway maintenance shops. (Many) massive rail shops of renown like Altoona and Sacramento and Schenectady and Houston and Montreal were supplemented by thousands of local repair facilities with dozens or hundreds of welders, machinists, pipefitters (plumbers), wood milling, etc. Fire departments had nmachine shops. How do I know these things are key elements in American recovery?
The Bible and our Web meister (see THE LONG EMERGENCY) tell me so...
Trump will win. She will not certify. They have plans. But this time Trump is not alone. Trump, Vance, Kennedy, Musk are too powerful in a decent way, and I believe they will be our leaders in a war. Raskin called it.
TDS explained- Decades ago DJT did something to HRC to get her panties in a twist; today, Hillary and her supporters feel that retaliation is justified, even if it is at my expense.
Like cockroaches, those with TDS contend that they will leave the country if Trump is elected.
I say "Good riddance to bad rubbish".
If Trump is elected, he should confiscate and liquidate their US holdings, use the funds to complete the border wall and secure both borders, and add them and their relatives to the terrorist watch list and see to it that they never set foot in America again.
I don't think she's high anything, she's as low as anyone can go. I'm not too bothered bc I believe she's gone on with her own kind. Notice you never see the OG anymore, they're all doubles.

Democrat party...not "democraTIC" party. Even Republican party is "democratic". We need to correct this improper language which intends to confuse the people.
Concerning possible upcoming riots. As the Antifa rioters of 2020 attempted to expand into less Antifa friendly territory, in June they moved into Coeur D'Alene, Idaho after a festive night of mostly peaceful burning and looting in Spokane, Washington. Being notified by the Spokane police, the civilian population of Coeur D'Alene and the surrounding countryside responded by showing up en mass and armed. Coeur D'Alene escaped the type of destruction that was common in Washington State.

And this is what must happen everywhere. Until the price ANTIFA/BLM must pay becomes too great to continue, the destruction of America will continue.

Hmmm, American CITIES. The Leftist, and I will add Black here, governments of the major American cities have just about run out of money, of capital. Project what will happen when Adams, for example, runs out of funds to pay off the illegals. The Party of Chaos will indeed have chaos on their hands with no tools to offset it. What happens when the rest of the country finally tells the cities “NO”? It will not be pretty.
Why else do you think they want a digital currency, easier for them to steal it from you,
And make no mistake, the ONLY thing government does IS STEAL FROM THE PEOPLE

They're not going to stick around where the pickings are slim. This has already been seen with the smash-and-grabs in upscale shopping centers/neighborhoods. Because what's actually going to happen is a constantly churning evolution of opportunity seeking. Remember that *no* state/city/town is fully red (or blue), and that means saboteurs will be everywhere.
One thing to remember, along with there will always be spies, fence sitters and informants.
Its no coincidence its actually hunting season,
Laser slingshots. Just sayin'.
I prefer my new Beretta Ultima Patrol 12ga auto... 7+1 capacity... with luck, 10-15 dead antifa before reloading.
Slingshots are silent.
Yea, but the effect from unloading a full mag from a semi auto 8+1 12 gauge is priceless, even better with a wide open tube and 00buck , kinda hard to miss,

Similar happened when the wokies tried to surround the Boise capitol. NOPE.
Bravo!
Yes, they tried that twice. Showed up in the local Winco parking lot in new Mercedes sprinter vans. About 50 of us were waiting for them. One of them got out with a crowbar innhis hand, and he was gently relieved of it. No shots fired, and a good time was had by all. Except them, of course. As for downtown CDA on Sherman Avenue, it was packed with us heavily armed locals.
That's hilarious! Well done.
I knew there was a reason why i really want to move to your northern area besides the cool air and trees.
Yeah, so my brother-in-law went to that. This is how it is done.
Of course, in the deep blue states anyone preventing arson or felonious assault is charged. A big problem. Say thanks on my behalf to your brother-in-law.
This is the Way.
Hmmmm, ANTIFA. With their black umbrellas they are well suited as targets for an LM-42. Smoke 'em if you got'em. The smoking lamp is lit.
They wear black so you can’t tell which one started the fire, or whatever. Paint ball guns could be used to mark perpetrators.
Sorry, XM-42!
Don't underestimate Antifa. Fat chicks and skinny-fat-chix-w-dix (the anglerfish couple): ANGRY, HATEFUL, parents' basement-dwelling HATERS OF THEIR PARENTS,

your consent to be governed. And when exactly are we going to grow up and refuse to consent to be governed?
Never. America stands for decay, imbecility, and tastelessness. And it’s not all on “the Party of Chaos” either. The “official” pretend-opposition party pachyderms is part of the awful gaming and hoaxing of America, too. It’s all pretense: theater (of the absurd). “Saving Democracy” . . . “Make America Great Again” . . . “Drain the Swamp”—a sick joke; all of it.
In the words of Col. Douglas Machregor, “We need to understand how we got where we are today. [And] I don’t see anybody talking about that.” The country is schizophrenic, hopelessly broken, and can’t go on any longer. Soon, the big banks that resell government IOUs (the “primary dealers” of government notes) will not be able to sell any of it, and then the music will stop . . .
Thats why the whole of DC and any associated bureaucracies need to be purged
Absolutely. All of it, every office and it’s holder goes.
You are right! But how? The blog is a legitimate Bitching channel for lots of people, observations of the failing of the USA are plentiful.
BUT, other than this very compromised election, there are no solutions. Hollywood made a solution named “Designated Survivor”. The laugher, if you watched it to the end, was Sutherland’s realization that after personally rebuilding the government after it was blown up, and winning the next presidential election, the country was right back where it was. Power corrupts absolutely and big government is the source of evil corruption.
“How?” will take something that’s never been done before, a political activity with absolutely no precedent. The solution is for the “people of the United States,” collectively the absolute, supreme Sovereign power in American. There is no legislative body or any court (not even the U.S. Supreme Court) above the “people.” The citizens of the United States together, the states united, are (in the quaint language of our 18th century forefathers) “the fount of all power.”
This means that the “people” can at any time, whenever they please, alter, amend or abolish their system of government. (Article V of the Constitution does not apply, as it by terms applies only to government-driven constitutional amendments.). At a minimum, this would require a convention of the states, called by the “people.” It’s not at all clear to me, though, how such a process, which government (as merely the people’s agent) has no lawful power to oppose or prevent, would work. First and foremost, it would take a statesman, a bird about as rare as a black swan today, and true patriots
The beauty of the American system, on paper, is that the Constitution legalized “revolution.” See the Preamble; see also the Declaration of Independence. That’s the best I can come up with, in terms of a lawful solution.
The Constitution has nothing that would legalize or imply the right to revolution. The preamble just states the intent.
The Declaration of Independence does but that isn't the governing document. The Declaration of Independence is a quaint historical document that is ignored by the government busy ignoring the constitution.
The Constitution "legalized" it, but the federal government has passed laws against it. The military and the police should refuse to obey unconstitutional orders. Do they, ever? Would they?
I'm impressed that Trump was disgusted with the generals and wanted to talk to some of the lower ranked people. It's slightly promising.
Thats why im glad im gettin old,

That would certainly simplify stuff
You mean S.M.O.D. ? Not so good if you are young and full of hope for the future.
As Solzhenitsyn said, Live not by lies. He condemned both the Capitalists and Communists, knowing that they are ultimately one system vehemently opposed to free nations and peoples. As for us, Americans fought for the global slave masters in WW2, allied with the Communists in Russia. Until we repent of that, we will continue to stumble and fall.
Solzhenitsyn had many lessons for us, which too many have failed to heed.

Yr right. Both parties are part of the theater for fools to rise to the bait.
After big Jim’s discovering that being “a life-long Democrat” was a not what he thought - now he’s simply switched attention to the other side of stage.
Some people (especially those who are so determined to prove themselves right (and bitter when shown to be wrong) -
never learn.
This column is an ongoing demonstration of such a case.
One party is more vehement in its support of Israel. That is one difference. The Democrats even allow anti-Semites to hold office as long as they're not White.
I notified them that I had withdrawn my consent July 4th 2008. Actually had opted out after 911. Dropped the SSN, got off grid, cancelled my bank account and went to cash and barter.
and that my friends is the action of an adult taking full responsibility for how he lives his life.
It wasn't always convenient at first Nancylee, but there comes a time when you have to make a stand. It doesn't take violence or angry outbursts, just a real determination not to any longer support and give your consent to what they are doing. They haven't had a dollar of support from me now for 22 years. You have to take a stand at sometime, there is a line you won't cross if you are a moral and sane person even if you are the only one doing it. Don't wait too long to take that stand.
HB, thats kinda where im at, depending outcome of the next monthish i plan on just dropping out.
Good on you and all who are reading the writing on the wall, see what is coming, and working on their plan B
Thanks for your inspiration, @Hat Bailey!
I'm not nearly where you are, but have developed the habit of choosing the less convenient option whenever possible.
The less you need, the more powerful you are.
So true Sedgwick. So much of the stuff I used to think I had to have to be happy was just a distraction for my personal emptiness. I had to take a look at that. These days I am happy with pretty simple things. When you find you are smart to pay cash for things that actually profit you and spend less than you make many would be surprised at how much more secure and abundant your life gradually becomes. The best part is that it frees you more and more from worry, insecurity and suppressed anxiety. We really don't need a lot of the things that people think they must have to be happy and content. You become more confident, self satisfied and build honest self esteem, and there is no wealth than can compensate for being without this inner wealth. You are going to get there, you will be a Xandari Prince. https://substack.com/home/post/p-151072802

Again, I love reading your posts. We still live in a magical world.
Amen. I’m impressed. I’ve stopped the corporate professionalism bs, raising food on the hooves, living simply and edging toward where you are.
There you go. A smart one.
Look on the top of that cash, "Federal Reserve Note". The government creates money.
Money, fiat currency, IS debt.
The reality of fiat currency is such a massive swindle that it took me MONTHS to comprehend.
Yep, that's why I keep as little of it on hand as necessary and save silver, gold and bitcoin. Own tools, five acres, a home I built myself off grid, a small garden. And it isn't really money in my opinion, just something a lot of people think is money, don't save it, or you are just holding onto a melting ice cube.
Yes, but when the SHTF do you really think hordes of hungry people who didn’t think ahead of time, which is going to be most people, won’t come to your door, trying to take your stuff? Fast, Eddie did few articles about this on Substack. To protect 5 acres you know how many men would need? And he goes onto explain even if you had a lot of men to protect everything you wouldn’t be able to feed them all. He was completely sensible in his article And he laid out why even the best preppers have a lot of weaknesses to their plans.
I picked my community carefully. We are in a location far from major urban centers, hungry people would have to cross a wide harsh desert to get to us here, and we have a gmrs radio among trusted like minded people who a small number of whom check on each other daily. These are others who are able and believe in self sufficiency. We are not defenseless. You may not go this route, that's up to you, but I would choose carefully where you choose to be and to take your stand with what is around the pike Sharon. There is a Higher Power which has been a protection and guide enough in the past since I learned that I can trust this Divine Presence is with me always.
Good for you. You make it sound easy. (which I suspect it isn't...)
@Hat Bailey, NICE!!!
Who is John Galt!
I think a lot of folks will be "going Galt" in more ways than one, depending on what's in store for us.
Yup, sometimes its in degrees too, lots o grey areas and anything is better than just blindly following into the abyss.
I have never given my consent to be governed.
Correct. They're supposed to be representing us and protecting the Constitution, not ruling over us or "improving" the Constitution.
and why exactly do you need to be represented? why dont you speak and act for yourself?
We are in a representative democracy. The problem is that money and political influence of the parties have destroyed the connection between the people and their representatives. The corrupted government spends its time in attending parties and figuring out how to get money for the next election, rather than connecting with the people. In this country, now, that has been turned into a Deep State that believes the people are the enemy.
“Just exactly who do you people think you are telling me what to think, vote and challenging my job with elections?”
No, it is a Constitutional Republic.
for the commons. In theory that which you have no control over and need.
Spot on,
Consent not given
“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
- Robert Heinlein
At one point old Bob started railing against the border with Mexico. Borders get in the way of free trade and individualism (making money). Libertarianism is mind virus. It ends up with fat guys in a state of undress dancing on stage as at the Libertarian convention. Or becoming a "swinger". See Bob's later books as to his sexual obsessions. More serious people become corporations and oppress smaller entities as per the Law of the Jungle. This is the height of morality for Libertarians!
Great quote. Pretty much how I live my life.
God, do I miss that guy. Need to start re-reading.
If you don't want to participate in a civilized society, you can opt out and live in the woods, or on a boat on the ocean. But if you consent to do most things in regular society, then you have to abide by the rules/laws. Those laws are mostly good, based on mutual respect, and generally keep people who would otherwise disrupt everything from doing so. But of course there are also oppressive laws, and that's why we have to be diligent in saying no to those. Which we have not done well enough.
Me? I like living in a country of laws. How else can you address a grievance if there are no laws? What if someone robs your home? Kills your dog? Mugs you on the street? You want no redress for that? What about food safety, etc.? You want be all chancy with that? Me, I prefer not to buy salmonella laced produce, but to each his own.
Well, now, all that largely depends on your race. Since white people have been made the new niggers in America, they now occupy the place black people had during the segregation days, and by federal decree, no less.
Well, only if you let them. I'm doing fine because I don't put up with the bullshit.
There are real laws and not necessarily the ones some corrupt congress passes. Having a centralized "authority" to whom everyone passes there power up to the top of the hierarchy is not the answer. There are other ways to deal with these things, but decentralized networks are one way. Look up Christopher Cook on substack.
Keeping the power down at the local level is important if you want to remain free, and the most local is within reach of your own two hands. There is the concept of common law courts and elected and paid sheriffs, Supporting honest competition instead of giving a monopoly on force to some of the most unaccountable and unreliable people who are drawn to coercive power and control over other people, because they have none over themselves.
Mr. Samuel Colt also empowered a lot of individuals with his invention that leveled the playing field between the physically large and brutal and the smaller and weaker. Those with some backbone stand up and take responsibility for their own security as well as looking out for their neighbors. That still happens in some places in Texas.
Don't buy food from the industrial highly processed corps(e) get friends with a farmer or grow your own or buy from someone reputable and do your own due diligence. Sue anyone who gives you a dangerous product and provide a disincentive for others to do that. Lastly, you create the reality you are going to have to live in unless you are just willing to let someone else, or a lot of someone elses do it for you, and not all of them are sane. That's my rant for the day.
I'm aware of all the libertarian stuff. I'm just not interested. I like my life and modern conveniences, thank you very much. If they go, I'll adjust. I also won't be growing my own food, as I don't have the land or the house for it, so that's sort of elitist thinking right there. I also work for a living, so I don't have 24/7 to farm. You should be lucky you can.
Most people can't afford to or don't know how to do most of that stuff and to believe we will is fairy dust thinking.
I'm happy for you if you are living life your way. God bless!
Do you drive an Escalade?
Gawd no. I'd hit other vehicles in one of those monstrosities.
To each his own. Like you I have needed to work formy living. I am not a farmer, I don't raise all my own food, but I keep some stored and try to buy mostly organic. I like modern conveniences too, but would never trade my primary values for them. They are what the controllers use to provide the path that leads to dependency and then slavery. That is selling your soul for a bowl of pottage. I have many of those modern conveniences, the ones I most enjoy and that add to my comfort and good health. I wish you well Mary Rose.
Hmmm. What's living more like a slave - having to do EVERYTHING for yourself, and living in the woods with a dirt floor? Or taking part in a thriving community, complete with modern conveniences and food being provided for you? We will never be self-sufficient. It's a lie that we are told by the "sovereign citizen" crew. Speaking of work? I work from home most of the time, and 8 hours a day is not much considering how many hours of the day self-sufficient people have to spend working (at hard labor too, not cushy stuff like what I do) every day, including weekends. I've done the research. I go to a naturopath, I don't take any big pharma garbage, but my naturopath is paid. I don't do the research and pick the herbs myself. I'm happy with this setup. You can call it slavery if it makes you feel good. In which case, I'm a very happy slave.
The less you need, the more powerful you are.
Right on, man.
+1 "Supporting honest competition instead of giving a monopoly on force to some of the most unaccountable and unreliable people who are drawn to coercive power and control over other people, because they have none over themselves."
A man can aim to control everything else as far as they eye can see, OR, he can aim to control himself, profoundly, in every way.
Both goals are infinite. One leads to misery and evil. The other leads to peace.
Buyer beware is superior to Government 3-letter agency interference. Mugging? Stay off your phone and carry concealed. Robs my home? If I am home and the robber enters, I defend. Etc. Easy. Don't be an insousciant American.
Nice perspective Real Mary. The horrors you describe are pretty much how things were in the late 19th century, when the Robber Barons ran the show. This is what the Tech-Bro Billionaires (Musk et al) want to return to, and are using the 'MAGA' as their useful idiots. If Trump somehow flukes the election (again, as in 2016), he'd be 26th Amendment'd out in a couple of months, and we would have President JD Vance, as run by Musk & Peter Thiel - not a pretty future for sure. The end of any environmental regulations and any sort of constraints on corporations ripping you off, while prices go up 20% (or more) because of the tariffs which are needed to give the billionaires a tax-free lifestyle. Vote rump? Are you kidding?
The 26th amendment says you have to be 18 to vote. How will that be used to remove anyone?
Yea you clearly prefer the party of the potato. What a meathead.
I don't vote - so you're barking up the wrong tree, Maria.
Curious how many of your grievances have been addressed lately?
Your position, is why most folks will just sit on their duffs and do nothing right up to when they get loaded in the box car,
Just sayin is all,
Enjoy
And what are you doing? Bitching on Clusterfuck nation? Why are you using a computer? Doesn't that make money for Bill Gates? Why aren't you out growing your own food and staying off grid? Because you're a big-ass hypocrite and would be the first person loaded on to a boxcar. I won't be, because I know how to get by - the smart way. Peace!
Wow, you seem like a treat, NOT

@Thomas Rice, the Dried Oyster could be a bot.
Big Tech's electricity consumption for AI data centers exceeds that of ENTIRE NATIONS and is anticipated to grow exponentially. Google and Microsoft are opting to build nuclear reactors purely to develop Large Language Models.
Note that it's "totally OK" for Big Tech to eschew windmills and passive solar power for "shit that matters" xD
Dished it out but couldn't take it. Do you need a band-aid?
No SSA card? No Driver's license? No W4 form? No 1040s?
You got it.
As soon as you ate the fruits of the conquest you did. The Laws of Nature are very strict. Obey or die. Thus man's laws must be strict too.
The apple might say to itself that it will fly away from its mother, the tree. But it ends up obeying the law of gravity despite itself. Then it becomes food for worms. More law! if it is lucky it is picked and eaten by a higher being.
Every particle of the universe is under law. But you, Gwyneth, are not? Oh folly. Unlike the particle, you have some choice in who or what you surrender too. That is all but it is much.

And whose law is it?
I surrender to my conscience.
Is it con-science or with knowledge of God and His Natural Law? Or is that just a fancy way of doing what you want? You don't have to answer. I'm just making a general point, not attacking you. Btw, I know that some agnostics and atheists are moral people. But as George Washington said: Only high educated people, strangely formed, can be good without a belief in God.
+1 "just a fancy way of doing what you want"
Humans excel at nothing if not rationalizing their bullshit.
It's fun meeting "classy" rich people. I love thinking to myself, "Lady, in a lifeboat, how long 'til you kill and eat a baby?".
We are all headed to the Land Where We Find Out Who We Really Are.
Gwyneth. If a birth certificate was issued when you were born, by default you became a defacto citizen of the governed. No action necessary. You CAN reverse that and become a free citizen but it's a costly and dangerous procedure.
When we all stop paying taxes…?
They’ll seize your bank accounts. Don’t think they won’t either.
The covid debacle revealed a lot. When the govt. put covid $ into my account, without my permission, it told me they would remove $ from my account also, w/o permission. So I did it first, only leaving enough to process usual monthly checks.
They'll do more than that.
Ha, they can have it, theres nothing in it anyway one week after payday, give me another reason to just stop playing the game
then get out of the banks.
Do not forget the IRS that has the ability to destroy your life. It is the seat of the Deep States power. That is why Biden gave them more money and thus more power.
Trump want to eliminate the income tax, eliminating that source of power.
If you actually believe that, David, I have a bridge I can sell you for cheap.
Don’t forget, he also gave them the right to carry guns and shoot us.

If enough of us did this…
its starts with one. you.
You go first
When did you stop paying your taxes?
I stopped having enough taxable income before I ever started. and have lived an excellent life for 72 years.
Oh so taxes don’t apply to you. That’s quite a different issue than making the kind of money one wants and needs to have their desired standard of living and choosing not to pay taxes on said income. Completely different than your situation. An excellent life is subjective, no?
Excellent points Jim! The hypocrisy exhibited is astounding. And yet by repeating it over and over they succeed in their mass formation psychosis to brainwash huge swaths of American population.
The unraveling of a legitimate, trustworthy election system will be the downfall of the nation. When nobody can trust the results there is no outcome possible besides conflict, hatred and maybe much worse. Pray for our nation to restore freedom.
And, DEFEATED they will be!
Please allow our overwhelming apprehension for tomorrow’s election results to pause for a silent moment… and recall the late afternoon of July 13th in Butler, PA where most agreed that it was Hand of God that caused Donald Trump to turn his head at the exact moment where an assassin’s bullet would have otherwise killed him. The reason God turned Donald Trump’s head was to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
We Got This! We are in God’s Hands Now!
My husband commented the other day that he’ll just be glad when it’s over meaning the election. My reply was “it’ll never be over.” I really mean that. Until one side rids the country of the other, warring in some form or fashion will go on and on.
I believe it’s both sides against We The People.
I think it’s the elite ruling class against the pheasants. Oops! I mean peasants.
I think the elite hate the pheasants too.
They obviously hate squirrels and raccoons.
They certainly hate squirrels & raccoons so why not pheasants!
😁
Think feudalism.
BTW, think about the Old South with slavery as a form of feudalism, and the post war South with share cropping as just an updated form of feudalism.
Yes, it IS the elite class against the puppets. They MUCH prefer Kamala Harris, but don't kid yourselves, they also largely control Trump.
On the big issues of defense spending, militarism, and cartel capitalism which determine how things are, both Trump and Harris are pretty similar.
Thus, events in the Mid East will escalate. If/when the US/Israel hit Iran's nuclear facilities, the SWHTF, and fallout will hit the US like the tidal wave, maybe even like a few bombs. That "wave" will wash over anything Trump planned.
Who was President during the lock-downs in 2020 for the plandemic?
While Mr. Kunstler assiduously ignores (or deliberately conceals) the great war crime of the US, in our day, TODAY, that crime being the enabling and supporting of the attempted Israeli extermination of the Palestinians, as this Israeli "Final Solution" has metastasized into something bigger, and it will further metastasize into a war that will wreck the US, it will be interesting to see what Mr. Kunstler has to say then. If he is allowed to have a say or an interet.
History rhymes. The outcome of WW3 (the Middle East) will rhyme with the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. In summary, this was the first time a European nation was defeated by an Asian nation. While not a total defeat (like Japan 40 years later), it was a huge defeat for Russia in terms of territory, influence and prestige. The war, and loss, accelerated internal socio-economic issues in Russia, helping nurture extremists who would later take over--the Bolsheviks (Communists) America's defeat in the Middle East will be leveraged by the "Woke-sheviks" here. You'll see. Oh, and Israel--well, without Uncle Sugar's "dominance" and bottomless aid, Israel will be compelled to choose between suicide or giving very bitter and angry, Palestinians, equal rights. Like South Africa. And that will be the end of the "Jewish State", regardless of what name it goes by.
I've said before and will repeat: The Israelis are defending their small nation against an array of many more Jihadists surrounding them. The Palestinians should have thought (and acted) better than to commit decades of rocket attacks, intifadas, and, finally, a rape-and-murder orgy. Hamas should not have used its own people as human shields. They have got exactly what they bargained for.
Thank you for that unaccepted truth JHK!
So why isn't Israel within the 1967 borders?
How many Israelis were there in Gaza and the West Bank in 1967? Tell us.
The fact is, the Israelis occupied both in 1967. In the West Bank, they've taken most of the land, and have set up an apartheid regime, as you well know.
In Gaza, they put some settlements, then pulled them out, but have blockaded the place since 2006, keeping them on "near starvation diet".
If you look at the numbers of people killed during the 20 years (or 30, you can pick whatever you want) by "terrorism", you'll see the numbers of dead and injured Palestinians are magnitudes higher.
You trot out the tired cliches about "rape and murder". Hell, your beloved IDF is sodomizing Palestinian prisoners.
You don't talk about the fact that Israel, before Oct 07, can stop, detain, or arrest a Palestinian no cause.
It's all the Palestinians fault, yeah right.
I'm not sympathetic. Like I said: rockets, intifada, rape, murder. . . fuck off.
What exactly is the source for all the claims you make, Al-Jazeera or the Tehran Times? You have stated one extreme, others have stated the opposite. Usually the true story is half way in between
Bottom line, much to your chagrin, is that whatever the viewpoint, Israel is going to kick the hell out of anyone tying to destroy it. Any thing else is a pipe dream.
Amen
I’ve said the same thing here and elsewhere Palestinians FAAFO
The buildings and cars of Sderot and Ashkelon are peppered with tiny holes. Holes, from the bb's packed into makeshift rockets fired at random. Ashkelon, by the way, is where Gaza gets its free electricity from.
Anybody who names a street after some savage who bashed a 4-year old little girl's head on a rock at the beach... they also tell me the teens they murdered blowing up a pizza parlor were oppressing them.
It appears that the 2M Israeli Arabs already enjoy their equal rights and choose to remain in your so called apartheid state rather to emigrate to any of the Judenfrei neighboring Muslim shit holes. Take your bullshit elsewhere.
Good thinking. Only Jewish suffering matters. They're free to attack UN soldiers and aid workers too.
@SD
And here we are again with the ignoring of history.
I suggest pulling head out of ass and looking up the rape of nanking or nanjing.
The Japanese were absolute assholes to anyone unlucky enough to fall into their clutches.
Odd considering the first world war Japan was an ally of England.
Or a nice little air raid by Germany called the Blitz on the Civilian population of England starting 9-7-1940 which crushed or incinerated 435,000 people in Britian.
Your history is missing huge gaps of data seems like all you ever want to do is ignore one side of the equation.
At best your'e an idiot at worst you are a propagandist of the lowest sort.
And therefore? Nothing is wrong, all is permitted! Israel is taking us back to Total War as practiced by the Ancient Assyrians and commanded by Jehovah in the Old Testament.
Two can play that game, Ben. Don't come crying to us when it's your turn. If human suffering doesn't matter, neither does yours. And the Holocaust, to the extent it was real, is rendered moot and meaningless by your own hands.
Come crying to you?
That is rich nor is the holocausts up for discussion I'm not Jewish.
A fact you can't seem to work around and something I have told you more than once.
So the civilians in Japanese cities perpetrated the Rape of Nanking/Nanjing?
And the civilians in Hamburg, Dresden, etc, were the ones running roughshod over occupied Europe and burning villages and executing civilians?
Who knew!
Given the figures for Germans roasted in US/RAF raids in WW2, I highly doubt the Luftwaffe killed 435,000 Britons.
But if they did, by your convoluted logic, so what? "The Sun Never Set on the British Empire" during WW2. How do you think all these Africans, Indians, and Arabs were controlled? Britain gassed the Baghhdad in the 1920s.
One side of the equation is always ignored. It's not trivial side, or inconsequential side. For a variety of reasons, the Middle East of great import to the REST of the world, much more so than Rwanda or the Sudan.
Actions have consequences. People need to know the rest of the story.
The British Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Largest Empire in History and its Impact on the Age of Discovery, Transatlantic Slave Trade, the Americas, ... War 1 and more (Exploring England's Past) 435,000 number pulled from this book take umbrage with the source.
Aren't you exaggerating a little, Ben? Per HistoryHit, approx. 52,000 English civilians were killed in the Blitz, but at least half of them were actually killed by British artillery, which vainly tried to shoot down the German planes, only to have their shells often land on civilians.
The Blitz came after months of firebombing German cities by the RAF.
"greatest crime the US government has engaged in since the incendiary and nuclear bombing of German and Japanese civilians in WW2,"
You lost me right there. One can argue about a lot of things, but I'm old enough to have talked to many WW2 vets, including my father. Never heard one, not one, complain about that. It's easy to judge the past from the comfort of the present. Wait till you're forced into situations you didn't ask for and then see how you'd react.
He is one of the nouveau folks that think war has to be conducted Nicely and civilians should never be involved.
War is to be won, period, with whatever means possible. If a people enable a government to war against others, the civilians are going to pay the price, and rightfully so.
War creates hatred and the feelings against an enemy that makes them unfeeling toward how they are dispatched. Ask any GI that was near Japan in WW2 or heading there if they thought the two bombs were a bad thing. In one word, Nope.
"....it's easy to judge". In hindsight, I think many people would agree with my point. I will say, I don't lose sleep over all the German civilians who were roasted. My parents where children in German-occupied Greece. They were lucky to survive. 5% of the population did not. What THEY, like every other occupied country needed, was to remove the Germans with guns. Killing the German civilians in cities really didn't help make life safer for my civilian parents and grandparents.
What DID help with that is the Soviets killing lots of German soldiers, and later, much later, the Americans landing in Normandy and killing German soldiers, which forced the Germans to leave Greece so they could fight the Soviets.
However, the Germans did have an Air Force, the Luftwaffe. They had anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns. If I recall correctly, I read somewhere most hazardous military occupation in WW2 was being part of a bomber crew over Germany in 1942-43, something like 20% killed. VERY HIGH. Hollywood even made a movie, "Twelve O'Clock High" that the USAF made airmen watch as part of our training...forty years later.
So the Germans could, and did, fight back, though with time their ability diminished. Dresden in FEBRUARY 1945 was defenseless. But the Allies bombed it anyway. It made Churchill feel good--maybe he was impotent and needed that?
Dresden was a manufacturing center supporting the remnants of Germany’s war effort. Yes, it was also a message from the allies to the people of Germany, from the Allies who did not give one damn by then how many German civilians got killed. If Germany had not gone down in April 1945, they would have gotten the bombs, not Japan.
Yesterday I watched a podcast with Prof. Marandi from Tehran University.
Apparently Trump recently said he would go to Iran if elected to negotiate peace.
Mind you this is since the U.S. and Israel discovered Iran’s excellent defensive capabilities, thanks in part to Russian technological prowess.
Marandi smiled and said, “After Trump orchestrated the assassination of Soleimani, he will not be welcomed in Iran.”
As we await the election results from tomorrow, the world is also waiting to see what Iran’s military response to Israel’s last strike will be.
We are all on the knifes edge now.
Do you realize what a joke the Iran-Israel "war" is. Let's see , whose turn is it this week. A civilized war, uh huh.
The purpose of the Fourth Turning is the destruction of one side. It is imminent.
Precedent? The rise of the Radical Republicans after the Civil War and the consequent destruction of the “Old South”.
Add on, we do not know which side will prevail.
If the lose, they'll work tirelessly to undermine Trump's presidency.
They will likely have to do it from outside the govt they formerly held the levers of power in. The levers will be applied to them if they make mischief.
We heard this here in 2020 as I recall, with the DOJ investigations that went... nowhere really. The FBI agents who tried to undermine Trump. No one was punished then.
Sorry. The cabal controls the levers, and will continue to do so.
But it's not all bad--they will do whatever Israel wants. And that is America's top priority--both Kamala and the Donald are in full agreement on that, as are Mitch McConnell and Chuck Shumer. Cheers!
Kamala's party, with the blessing of the ultrahawk Cheneys, promises to continue BOTH the Ukraine aggression as well as Netanyahu's fight for Greater Israel. Trump, OTOH, at least promises to end the Ukraine war. I'll gladly vote for a flawed candidate who promises to end at least ONE war, instead of a know-nothing who wants the broke US taxpayers to keep funding TWO wars until we totally run out of bombs.
Draft here we come if Harris gets in. The faithful just don't know it yet.
A rational point. Just in terms of strategy, the Ukraine thing is a boondoggle. Focus on winning in the Middle East for God's sake. Fight Russia indirectly, not directly. The current bunch is both stupid and crazy as well as evil.
My question is: why are we fighting Russia at all?
SCOTUS were cowards.
Do you even remember in 1980 what happened when Reagan came into power with Iran. The nuts there had our hostages for months in a feckless Democratic administration. One look at Reagan, Iran sent them home.
The Idiotic war between Iran and Israel will be over very quickly with a Trump victory. Why? In Trump’s plan for tearing down the Deep State, that war in an obstacle.
Ridiculous. He's a dog on a leash that the Zionists hold. Netanyahu was the first leader to recognize Biden after the steal. They have no regard for us. Why would they? The slave is only noble when he rebels.
JAZ, you left something out here. Reagan's campaign made a deal with Iran to DELIBERATELY DELAY the release of the hostages until he was elected and definitely sworn in.
Worse, the criminal strategist that put Khomeini in power- H.W. Bush- was appointed Reagan's handler.
Yeah, it was like "How soon do you want them?"
Oh my, I have to agree with Sd on this one. Trump winning:
Without a GOP Congress, he will be watching his back constantly
With a GOP Congress, do not forget the RINOS who want to cut his throat.
Even with a big win in the Congress, agency heads and lobbyists are going to continue trying to whittle him down. As far as the bureaucracy, it will take as many years to punch it down as it took to form it. Trump must do one thing, no matter what in his four years, enable his next in line, Vance, Haley, Gabbard, ???, to take the reins in four years and continue the fight.
Pretty sure Haley, Bolton, Pompeo and their ilk will NOT be part of a new Trump administration.
I think it was Robert Barnes who was discussing this on The Duran.
Trump already has a transition team working and there are no Neocons on those short lists.
One of Trump’s first moves will be to revoke all the security clearances of these type “folks”, including the 50 plus liars who signed the Intel letter saying Hunter Biden’s laptop was not authenticated and was probably just “Russian disinformation”.
Even though they ALL knew the FBI had authenticated it a year earlier.
This lying deliberate disinformation by supposedly “respected” top Intel officials, according to many analysts, was enough to throw the election to Biden. Had the voters believed what a fraudulent, lying, corrupt candidate Biden was, he never would have “won” in 2020.
Yo JAZ, what's with your delusion that Haley is MAGA and not the neocon that she is?
Haley is the American Rishi Sunak.
I wouldst pray that James is correct.
He’s not alone this time. Kennedy, Musk, Vance. But the Dems and globalists paying them, want civil war and bloodshed.
Yep.
Was it over in 2016? 2008? 2000? No, it just got worse and worse.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cuz when the goin' gets tough ... the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's goooo ...
-- John Blutarsky
Was it over after the Civil War? No.
It'll never be over with h. sapiens. What the hell would we do for an encore?
Here's my election prediction, it will be many more JHK columns before there is any "official" results to next Tuesday's election. In the meantime I look forward to the wit Mr. Kunstler displays twice a week. Thanks Jim.
There are two major issues at play: either half of our electorate are deluded fools or the people who run the media and the people behind the curtain running this shadow government are pure evil. Both of these can be true at the same time.
However, sometimes you have to reach rock bottom before you can rebuild a nation. it is clear that the deep state needs to be destroyed or they will destroy us. However, how can a country that is so divided become a melting pot again when we were edging closer to Balkanization.? All signs point to a Trump victory. Yet we saw similar signs in 2020. Buckle up.
The glue that bound the US together was the almighty dollar.
The chance to make money, and keep enough to enjoy a comfortable life, or at least much more comfortable than that offered in the land of one's origins for the poor and working and middle class, and the chance to make millions and millions for the very rich and powerful.
When engaging in activities that produce goods or services of real value (appliances, laundromats, medical, factories, hospitals) is replaced with financialization and services of dubious or no value (complicated tax preparation and accounting), the ability to create the wealth I referenced is eroded. That's America since the mid-1960s.
When debt becomes unmanageable, money becomes worth less and less, the system breaks down. That's American since Vietnam and going off the gold standard (Nixon, 1971).
America reached "peak assimilation", when people living here considered themselves "American", even those with heavily accented English, 1945-65. That is as "united" as Americans ever were, the result of putting a lid on immigrants in 1924, PLUS (very important) the crucible of WW2, where young male WASPS and males of Irish, Italian, German, Polish, Greek, Jewish, Russian, Scandinavian extraction spent a few years overseas being shot at and returned happy to be alive and with many of their old biases "erased". In 1945-65, America had only white vs black, and even then, no one questioned that African Americans were American, and society was "working on it".
Starting in 1965, and really accelerating after 1985, today, we have way more foreign born "non-Americans" than society, and soon the economy, can absorb. One more factor in the impending unraveling.
Hilarious. The Blacks questioned it - backed up by the Jews who created and funded the NAACP. Get a clue for Christmas. It might help if you put down the pipe.
Addendum: The Mexicans may have questioned it too. In any case, we questioned their presence and Eisenhower deported a million of them. One of the few good things he ever did.
Jews are .002% of the military.
Someone really needs to ship you a Star of David for Christmas, Jarek.
Double yup.
Yup!
No, all signs(polls) in 2020 showed Biden with a 4-5% bigger lead than he got. The polls are products of the MSM and supporters and are very biased Left. Watch Rasmussen for a little more neutral polling. Or You Tube’s polling averaging sites. In both, Trump is way ahead. Remember too that a polling tie, because of the Left bias, is bad news for the Leftists.
Polling outfits — like journalistic outlets — are businesses too.
It's doubtful that the US was ever a melting pot.
And as an empire, it is almost by definition not a melting pot.
This is why the dissolution of empires is often so violent and bloody.
Empires try to be melting pots and it usually fails badly as it is failing with us. Are we an empire or trying to become one? Depends on the definition. In any case, the United States was created by Christian Whites for Christian Whites - with tolerance for free thinkers and Masons. Anything else is historic revisionism. They never considered Blacks and Indians to be potential citizens. A very few like Jefferson admired the Indians and considered them our equals. But that was rare and I don't know if he thought they could become citizens. He thought much the contrary as to Blacks.
That thinking wasn't exclusive to the United States.
We're not trying to become an empire. We're an empire that's very close to its expiration date.
Also, Empires are ethnocentritic, " do it my way or you die". They plant the seeds of their own destruction by forcing conquests to "Do it My Way".
Well that was the crux of the argument. Nations are ethnocentric and that ends when they become empires, conquered by the conquered, typically. By denying that, you are both wrong and outside the conversation. Anyway, since it happens so often, I guess it's hard not to let it happen. You see a fetching brown skinned girl and you forget about sweet Mary waiting for you back in the Motherland. She has your kids. You return home to Mary but you miss your dusky beauty. Years pass, she wants to send the boys to the Nation to be educated. You can't resist. They are your blood. They are smart and good looking. They intend to get with White girls and they do. Slowly, in this way and other ways, the Motherland becomes the Mudderland.
As a native of MD I offer apologies for the painful imbecility of Rat Face Raskin. MD seems to spawn moronic democrats (redundant, no?) as badly as Massachusetts.
That said pulling for DJT to wrap it up tomorrow night in a blowout, as late polls seem to suggest.
ALL conservatives should pray for Raskin's cancer to return, ultra turbo, and for his death within two weeks.
Sound harsh? He and his ilk are far greater enemies to America than Russia or China ever were.
Two weeks of misery is not enough for that cretin. Don't be so easy on him.
I'd rather see Raskin in front of a military tribunal
I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
BB - no! A thousand times no! That is decidedly un-Christian. We have been saved by Christ’s grace & mercy & - according to The Bible - it is our duty to pass that grace & mercy onto others, especially those we disagree with. Praying for someone’s demise or a return of sickness is an affront to God. Please don’t do that. I know it’s difficult- I couldn’t hold Raskin/Pelosi/Schumer et al in any lower regard than I already do. But if I can pray for them to see The Light & turn from their wickedness then that is Christ working thru me. We need to all be conduits for Christ because- in The End - He is THE ONLY thing that matters & He is all we have. My “rat face” comment is really borderline anyway, see? I’m not perfect either.
Please reconsider. God bless you.
I suspect Raskin is, at best, non-practicing, and at worst an active follower of Kabbala, which I'm told is the Jewish version of Satan worship. Regardless, I rather doubt he'll change his ways for any reason. I don't wish death upon him, but I also have no feeling of charity for such a vicious, evil bastard, either.
Trust me - I get it ;<)
No, save him for the demon locusts. A far more terrifying, exquisitely painful, but not deadly, punishment.
Suggest everyone watch MSDNC tomorrow night to see multiple heads exploding on the teevee, gnashing of teeth and tears!
Also The Young Turks in 2016 was great! All cocky when the polls closed with champagne flowing, but as the night wore on and the Javitz Center went all quiet (except for the wailing and sobbing), it was entertaining to hear all the F-bombs flying with Cenk and Ana.
If there's no blood, I don't want to watch.
Apologies accepted.
A vote for Harris is a vote for World War 3. It is not Joy that cometh in the morning , but bombs & bullets.
Anyone in Biden's military is fodder for the slaughter. Our present military is no match for Russian and Chinese and North Korean troops.
Pentagon is weak and woke.
10,000 North Koreans fighting in Ukraine. There really is no substitute for on the job training. Our current rainbow warriors have zero experience in a real shooting war against a real enemy.
The US military has to check what pronouns to use first.
Or, they are busy rooting out "white supremacy" and replacing it with drag queens and transgender surgeries.
Nothing like giving a weapon to a person who is confused what gender they are...
"This is my rifle, this is my gun, this one's for fighting, this one's for fun" takes on new meaning in the modern US military, where patriotic troops and leaders were eliminated during the stand-down under Biden and a man pretending to be a woman gets to flounce around in an admiral's uniform because he's a deputy surgeon general (and a psychiatrist).
I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like the fix is in. Prepare to be disappointed as America shows the rest of the World that it has become completely corrupt, spineless, and gutless. The new "American Dream" might involve actually leaving America.
Think of what the quest t to stop price gouging will turn into. Any profitable business will be in their crosshairs. Especially a conservative firm like Goya.
Economic refugees will move to red areas to salvage themselves and their businesses if they can, which in turn drives up the cost of living for everyone. Happened here during the scamdemic and the end result is distorted property valuations, all thanks to The Fed and the FOMO retards.
Yep. And, in my experience, they don't leave the politics behind... the same politics they claim to be running from... they bring with them
Physical secession if not actual? The divide is becoming more and more obvious. Sides are being drawn and I can envision a “country” so divided that either side is isolated from the other and wanting absolutely nothing to do with the other.
It is not bipolar either. The world wants to tear down the police state the USA represents since WW2. How to do it without violence and nukes? Infiltrate and Balkanize politically. Non-assimilated ethnicity is going to divide this country without a shot fired. Think about the Deep State as just another ethnicity here, how can they stop the SW from seceding at the same time as the Rust Belt and the West Coast.
How? Non-White refugees/immigrants are being poured into Red America to stop this from happening. No organic change will be possible unless this is stopped - but how?
Wrong, it is exactly the non-White immigrants that are going to cause the schism when America's "ties that bind" are gone. My point is that it is not Red vs. Blue, it is Muslim, vs. Black, vs. Hispanic, vs. Chinese, vs. Philipino, vs. Russian, as each adds on more, the ability to hold it together vanishes.
Think about this, if the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor this December 7, how many of our new immigrants would sign up? America is no longer a country.
You're looking at a lot less grocery stores and a lot less in the stores that remain. Well, for us, of course. In Washington, they'll be doing just fine.
Do not forget who fills those shelves in DC, truckers will be one of the first to tell them to go to hell along with the longshoremen.
Biden and Secretary Pete made a deal with the longshoremen to delay their strike until after the election. I believe they gave them a 70 percent pay hike.
Kathy
They think they are going to buy them off with a pay raise. Typical Dem thinking, union thinking. The number one issue is automation, and the impact on the workers. The Luddites are running wild here, not only for the dock workers but for all types of manual labor jobs.
I like to take thing to extremes to explore impacts. Think what will happen to this country if AI and automation are allowed to take over. THAT is what the Longshoremen are fighting for. They will not stand for a contract that does not include job guarantees. If Trump wins, we will definitely see his deal making skills. If KAmala, just another inflationary uptick.
They gave them a pay raise contract that lasts long enough until the automated port is built. Take it now, boys, this will be the last deal you get.
I was thinking yesterday that the election will end up going to the supreme court, like it did with baby Bush and Gore in 2000, was it? And for the sake of "peace and safety" the court this time will give it to Harris, especially since they won't want antifa and BLM camping out on their lawns, given that the cops will once again be ordered to stand down in the face of the rioting, and, of course, they will.
Me too
If the recognized election result is again fraudulent the rallying cry will have to change from "Make America Great Again" to "Give Me Freedom or Give Me Death."
The democrat party would have no problem killing every Trump voter in the country. No problem at all. They're murderous evil people that have been given over to reprobate thinking, and there's no remedy for that.
Jen Rubin tweeted (and quickly deleted):
“MAGA squirrel deserved to die.”
That’s who these people are: soulless and murderous.
She is very typical of her toxic tribe. Just like Raskin, Schiff, Goldman, Wasserman-Shitz, Blumenthal, Schumer, Nadler, Sanders, etc.
Starting to see a connection here?
That’s total insanity. Animals are political now?
Just try, if it’s even possible, to imagine the mind that would say such a thing.
That can only come from a place of the deepest darkness.
Yes, labeling a squirrel a MAGA Republican and then killing it says all you need to know.
Worse than that: she’s literally advocating that it’s OK to Murder MAGA.
Not a giant leap from there to there.
They used to call a frog or toad Christ and crucify it. The folks you support that is.
The judge who issued the search warrant that resulted in two dead animals and an enraged world is a Democrat. I have no idea how the hell a Democrat won a countywide seat in Chemung County, NY, but he's apparently as bloodthirsty as the rest of their cult.
The left also was fine with killing zoo animals because they had "covid" which of course does not exist and never killed any animals.
...and the rest were killed with the covid "vaxxines."
No but the scumbags that killed them and held the property owners hostage for 5 hours are.
And here WaPo likes to pass her off as a conservative.
When are YOU people going to stop putting everyone in the same box? The KHAZARIAN MAFIA ARE NOT JEWS and not everyone w a Hebraic sounding last name is Jewish. As if the entire DemonRATic party is comprised of Jews, duh. Biden, Harris, Ovomit, Cheney, Pelosi, Bush, Clinton, Walz, Newsome, Holder, etc. And you sickos that constantly spout off about "that tribe" too cowardly to use the J word bc you know it's a lie.
I didn’t even remotely reference her as a Jew - don’t even know or care what the hell she is.
Except for the fact that she is an awful excuse for even a human being.
Amen!
There in fact IS a major problem... Trump voters are generally very well armed.
Telling it like it is, JHK.
The sun will rise on November 6.
Darkness will follow.
I will be watching from my Equatorial living hangout in northeast Brasil.
Tipping point, USA.
Wish I was with you there.
I don't think you do. Brasil is one of the fallen countries, like Canada, Germany and Australia.
What about Thailand? Just heard yesterday that Thailand has become a BRICS partner.
Thailand, Ireland, Scotland... the list goes on and on. Many fallen countries after the covid hoax. New Zealand, another. I tend to just list the really big ones, but there are many.
New Zealand turned into a prison planet with their draconian covid policies.
And that's where so many billionaire bunkers have been constructed, so it's no accident. I wonder what REALLY happened to Jacinda horse-face?
So, besides Russia, what countries are NOT fallen? Tell us please.
Russia's also on its way to WEF glory, according to people who actually live there. Why should I know of every country that hasn't fallen? Why don't you do the research yourself, smart guy?
Israel. See Psalm 83, and New Testament verses telling us Christ returns to His Jerusalem landing pad... Islam started their own collective countdown clock to oblivion when October 7 Muslim freedom fighters circulated videos of Israeli mothers undergoing abortions with garden shovels. Many US elected officials have seen these and other Hamas videos of the events of October 7 2024.
This writer patiently reminds all hands of necessity for comprehensive
rebuild of pre WWII US railway matrix, branch lines linking agriculture with urban food processing and distribution infrastructure. Old Hat parallel bar therapy withstanding EMP disabled AI trucking. Old timer hers recalls all urban and rural locations benefited from 2 particular locations with repair facilities: the fire department, and local railway maintenance shops. (Many) massive rail shops of renown like Altoona and Sacramento and Schenectady and Houston and Montreal were supplemented by thousands of local repair facilities with dozens or hundreds of welders, machinists, pipefitters (plumbers), wood milling, etc. Fire departments had nmachine shops. How do I know these things are key elements in American recovery?
The Bible and our Web meister (see THE LONG EMERGENCY) tell me so...
Trump will win. She will not certify. They have plans. But this time Trump is not alone. Trump, Vance, Kennedy, Musk are too powerful in a decent way, and I believe they will be our leaders in a war. Raskin called it.
Concede and Certify should not exist as a duty in the same individual.
The Left is bold and Conservatives are timid, always on defense. Trump backed down but they will not.
TDS explained- Decades ago DJT did something to HRC to get her panties in a twist; today, Hillary and her supporters feel that retaliation is justified, even if it is at my expense.
Like cockroaches, those with TDS contend that they will leave the country if Trump is elected.
I say "Good riddance to bad rubbish".
If Trump is elected, he should confiscate and liquidate their US holdings, use the funds to complete the border wall and secure both borders, and add them and their relatives to the terrorist watch list and see to it that they never set foot in America again.
IMO HRC is dirt napping.
Its been said she's a high priestess of Satan. Why is that not outside the realm of possibility?
I don't think she's high anything, she's as low as anyone can go. I'm not too bothered bc I believe she's gone on with her own kind. Notice you never see the OG anymore, they're all doubles.
allow me to expand. part of growing up and becoming an adult is to quit saying: o, they'll do this or that to me. figure it out. they'll shut down my bank account. then get out of the mother fracking banks. whatever your excuse is: the answer is quit playing their game.
Democrat party...not "democraTIC" party. Even Republican party is "democratic". We need to correct this improper language which intends to confuse the people.
