Seconded. That first paragraph, in particular, is an all-time great! Sad to think that I once voted for the idiot Kerry back when he opposed the Shrub and Darth Cheney. Oh well, live and learn, I guess.
Meh, I get so tired of these JHK analyses and proclamations that most of us here on CFN already know. Sure, they're exquisitely worded and expounded upon per usual, but there are just blogs like this one, where there's just SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.
That said, I appreciate out host for letting us vent our spleens anyway. Cheers.
First it must be said that Mr. Kunstler is an exceptional writer, with a marvelous turn of phrase. However, as per your critique, his columns represent the mindset of conservatism. Conservatism itself is no better than some vague platitudes that hang on the wall ('lower taxes', 'smaller government', 'free market').
For the past 70 years conservatives have done nothing but whine and complain. The best they can offer is a laundry list of the latest leftist outrages, then sit back and say "It's obvious this is wrong", without ever analyzing how and why it's wrong, nor any clue about how to effectively confront it. No wonder conservatives have conserved nothing, not even women's bathrooms.
Meanwhile the masses of traditional people keep listening to and voting for conservatives, then wonder why nothing ever changes as the wokusts keep implementing their agenda. If the masses really want change, they should vote for the so-called 'far right', but they've been groomed by wokusts to think the far right are all racist nazis who engage in 'hate speech'. Such false caricatures keep them voting for weak patsies whom the left can easily control. What a perfect setup for the wokusts... both traditional voters and conservative leaders are thus proven to be oblivious morons.
Well, the Left is right you know. America was founded by Whites for Whites, racists in other words. But they think this is a bad thing - as if people build nations for other peoples. Did the Chinese build up China for the Blacks? Or the Whites?
No, the original Americans built lives for themselves, it was individualism against collectivism. They built lives in the wilderness and then had the audacity to tell the King of England he and his army couldn’t just take it away.
The aristocratic minded southerners were able to continue on for another half century, but the individualistic North eventually won again.
Now it’s another battle. The Democrats are, as always, on the side of collectivism and the abolition of freedom. We must muster the strength to fight for freedom and liberty once again.
I think I linked to a video he didn't like, or something. But we had been dueling somewhat before that. I try to be gracious, but apparently not enough sometimes. Stuff happens. What are ya gonna do?
SWIM can tell you what YOU can do. Start smuggling some of that good stuff being held hostage in Bomb City and give it Iran. They know exactly what to do with it. Evidence immediately destroyed. And, you know, "plausible deniability."
10/01/24: At the risk of causing offense, I've have to say that I never discuss my "sources/references." The only thing that counts is results. As for infighting, I'll rate that as an unlikely ingredient.
“It’s really hard to govern today. . . . The First Amendment stands as a major block.” Once in awhile the veil is lifted, and they bare their objectives for all the world to see. It doesn't happen very often - in fact it occurs very rarely. But when it does, it underscores all that their actions tell us about them. Absolute, unchallengeable power. Apart from the constructive abolition of the 1st Amendment, they must dilute the 2nd Amendment to the point where it's little more than words scratched on centuries old parchment. Then comes the liquidation of the undesirables a la the Khmer Rouge, Stalin, etc. etc. etc. This story is old, but each time it happens it is as though it had never happened before.
They've been whittling away at the 2nd amendment for years, a bump stock here, a large capacity magazine there, until now the government outguns the citizenry (and Joe sneeringly reminded us that they have F-16s).
1) To form a means of self-defense for the country and each state. A militia will be formed for protection and the people will be armed with weapons to do that protection. Even in the Civil war, states sent their militias to fight for the North and South, remember Chamberlain’s 20th Maine? Arms were guaranteed to each individual for use in the militia. One difference then is demonstrated in Williamsburg, the Armory where all weapons were stored that could not be stored at home. People needed arms for self-protection in those days just as today.
2) The main reason that Dem socialists want those guns, to enable Jefferson’s proclamation in the Declaration that it is the responsibility of a people to overthrow a bad overbearing government. Today’s Leftist Deep State IS a bad overbearing government. They want our guns and they do not give a shit about the Constitution.
course it matters you wake up!! People have to know information to defend themselves.
The government loves ignorant people who don’t pay attention to patterns. They love to blame people who are blameless. Blame the people who are actually shooting. Stop with the propaganda. The TV, media and government are fooling you.
I have several black powered pistols and long rifles.
Used at the range for fun.
The weapons the founding fathers had in mind in promulgating 2A.
I also have a Glock 17 in my gun case.
Ask my doctor daughter who is an Emergency Room Doctor in Madison, WI what she thinks of 2A as she has two teenagers die of gunshot wounds on her shift?
Yes, I agree that the number of gun homicides per capita in the US is horrible information.
We've always had the 2nd amendment but we haven't always had a crime problem. It's corruption of the culture, not the guns per se. And of course, Blacks.
Dennis: if you remove the "inner city" (oops….a dog whistle according to Libs) statistics of violent assaults and homicides the USA is one of the LEAST violent countries in the world. Thank Diversity & Cultural Enrichment for the high firearm misuse.
Bullshit. John and Abigail Adams had the most romantic relationship and send each other beautiful letters. I don’t believe it about the misogyny. You are listening to a bunch of crappy propaganda from the government. Why would you trust them?
The founders were men of their times. The USA is where Blacks became free, and women got the vote and inhabit many governmental offices today. You America haters, especially from overseas can kiss my butt.
True. Of what use are fighter and bomber aircraft in a Civil War fought in your country on territory you must preserve in order to prosper? Will a military of volunteers from your own citizens violently suppress the rebels who may be family & friends?
If the Progressive Elites want a violent confrontation with the Citizens, let them be first to arms and out front in battle.
Then they probably still won't understand or appreciate guerrilla warfare, with internal being the worst.
The planes have to land and pilots eat eventually and to know and interact with others, like on the ground.
That's in large part why civs collapse probably. Because they have the worst of a relatively small set of people slippy-sloping progressively upward on high horses-- apparently like that 'haircut-in-search-of-a-conscience/brain'-- who seem to think that it's their rules (AKA, 'The Law', as if it's immutable like the laws of physics) or the highway.
No it's not the law. It never was and never will be, not for long, anyway.
The last time I checked, Joe Biden doesn’t know how to fly and F-16, doubtful he knows how to fly a kite for that matter, besides living on a beach where kite flying is fun. I digress, he doesn’t know that Dr. Jill doesn’t know that the septic truck that pumps human waste from Air Force One is NOT the Jet A fuel truck, and imagine Hunter pulling the flags and pins out of the 500 pound ordinance under the wings…exactly not going to happen. (Can you see ole Hunter on the CVN Gerald Ford heaving deck trying to pull the pins? Hmmm, that might be worth some money spent to witness.) No they don’t get that Charlie is out here in the bush, we starve but squat and get stronger, insurgents work that way, they get hungry and more determined, ever meet an angry insurgent, likely you won’t, but try torturing one. You won’t get far. That is what all these midwits miss, all around them are insurgents, they don’t see it, the same way the brass in Saigon, Baghdad and Kabul didn’t see it, but they are there, living and biding their time. John Forbes “Live shot” Kerry likely has an IQ of around 100, just smart enough to be identified as not hopelessly dumb, but really dumb. Prep school, Yale, a path parted for him by wealth, never challenged and allowed to run untethered from reality his whole life and especially as Secretary of State, he got away with it. He reminds one of the kid in your class at (name the prep school) who is still angry he was not voted student head of the school, lost by a whisker if you ask him, but actually because he was a brown nosing snitch the student body hated his ass and didn’t vote for him…go figure 80 years old and still angry, not a good way to be, thieving everyone’s oxygen with his prattle. All revolutions end the same, not with a bang but whimper. One can ask what happens with the USA and its revolution, it was a divorce so doesn’t count…unless it continues and those pressing the dialectic prevail. My money is on the insurgents. May take a while, but it worked in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as example….
In a different way, Macron lifted the veil in 2022 when he cited '... the end of abundance'.
That's the very same issue that JHK referred to in his book 'The Long Emergency' (2005).
Clearly at least one person in France who's advising Macron understands that 1) fossil fuels are the lifeblood of industrial society 2) they're not infinite and 3) 'Limits to Growth' was broadly correct. Some in the US deep state realise too, read 'The Last Oil Shock' (2007).
If we look at the WEF, UN, etc, policies, we see a common thread - a response to over-population and financial collapse in the context of depleting and degraded resources, principally oil,coal and gas, but also all ores and minerals.
It's all about the rationing of energy and resources. And of life itself.
Exactly. They are right about many things. But their response is to try and power down the World while staying at the top - at the expense of all humanity. Thus they must be destroyed. Alas those that fight them deny the truths they believe in because they believe in them.
Figures in an Oxfam report suggested that if billionaires and multi-millionaires could live more modestly - maybe more like 'mere' millionaires - global GHG emissions could fall 30-40%.
I'm not holding my breath because most billonaires seem to think differently from 'normal' people. Warren Buffett was considered unusual in the past because he lived in a typical suburban house, not in a mansion.
George Bush 41 laughingly referred to Bill Clinton and Al Gore as "Bozo and Ozone" (they had the last laugh on him, though, as the election turned out), but "The Inconvenient Truth" about Gore is that he a 24 karat phony when it comes to environmentalism and "decarbonizing" the economy, living in a 50,000 sq ft mansion and crisscrossing the nation in his ozone-depleting private jet.
It would help, for a start to select candidates who were known for operating successful businesses but lived modestly, such as Ron Paul, or Sam Walton (even the big city Chicago boss Richard Daley was known to have lived in a modest home.) This would also exclude gluttons like New Jersey's Chris ("Crisco") Christy.
Yes, Lugh, add on the fact that those PTB want to change things so that you and I take the hit and not them. That is why they need to be torn down from their perches. Now who is the better candidate to tear them down?
Xavier, very good. One thing though is that change of how mankind does its business HAS to happen, the whole debate depends on how it will be done, the hard way (war etc.) or an easy way (adaptation). So far, economic and physical war seems to be the sole way.
It's probably a good idea to vote for Trump to buy us time, but to see him as your lord and savior is just ludicrous. At the end of the day he is just another Jew tool in the ZOG.
What percent of the general population have a clue about the 2030 Agenda, and "Joe Biden" being "committed to the full implementation of 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, at home and abroad"?
What percent of the US population view and believe anything that is promoted on the RT site?
Therefore Corporate Capitalists cannot be allowed to rule. Resources must be carefully marshalled, not squandered for profit or in frivolous pursuits. How did this jibe with Americanism? It doesn't.
There is an American way to handle a transition to a less energy intensive society though, and that's a return to the society of the founders with yeoman family farms, and more local craft oriented enterprises making high quality items that can be maintained and even passed down the generations. My hope would be we can at least maintain some benefits of modernity like CNC machines, but the future is local.
I am all for the yeoman farms and small business/craft-oriented society you describe, but I fear this is a pipe dream. We are no longer Hobbits, isolated from those around us in The Shire. Even when Tolkien was writing about that idyllic world, it was already over, something he tacitly acknowledged. Supporting ourselves on our own parcel of farmland sounds very appealing, but it takes but one bad crop year, one summer of drought or torrential spring rain to annihilate any hopes of succeeding in that endeavor. To be honest, we need abundant available energy to survive. Without energy to power our society, we are doomed to live in a Hobbesian world. With sufficient energy, everyone benefits. We don't have to burn our forests to stay warm as before, nor do we need to mine coal, as alternative sources like natural gas are so abundant. Advances in safe nuclear power generation are already available and, unless the luddites among us prevail, will be coming on line soon enough. Our problem is not too much energy; it is not enough. Oh, and also too many politicians whose goal is to gather as much power as we allow them to have unto themselves at our expense.
The entire national- and world- manufacturing order is thrown into disarray by the imposition of different sets of rules. One reason that natural gas currently trades for one quarter of its former high (under $3/mcf vs $13+) is, even though it is massively cleaner burning than coal, that it is being demonized in the U.S. as "contributing to global warming," even as massively polluted(the joke is that their national bird is the looney) China continues to ADD coal-burning plants- and is accorded Most Favorable Nation status when it comes to exporting its products more cheaply, costing jobs elsewhere. Yet, ironically, their efforts to reduce pollution in their major cities is the driving reason for their emphasis on EV's, which are helping destroy both European and American car makers(See today's Stellantis news) who cannot compete except with big tariffs
"[China's] efforts to reduce pollution in their major cities is the driving reason for their emphasis on EV's"
No.
China makes EVs because they believe the rest of the world will buy EVs instead of ICE vehicles, due to the Globalist policies which outsourced manufacturing to China. China discovered they can make EVs cheaply, and the trend was born.
Caveat Emptor if you buy a Chinese made vehicle or a vehicle with extensive China-manufactured parts.
Well I living in a homestead myself, so like Johnson kicking the rock as evidence of its real existence, I refute you thus. Clearly you haven't recovered enough from being a lawyer.
I admire and envy your independence. However, you are availing yourself of the internet to respond to me only because there is sufficient energy to power its myriad servers, etc. And unless you are Amish, I assume you use gasoline/diesel-powered equipment like chainsaws, tractors, etc. and have electricity to power your lights as well as your computer and an internet connection. (If you are Amish, a population with which I am intimately familiar, that is a different situation. And shame on you for using the internet like the English!) That was my point; we do not live in Eighteenth Century Colonial Williamsburg. Nor, for that matter, do most of us even live like Sean James, whose "My Self Reliance" podcast I enjoy immensely, but who still is reliant on "civilization" for much of his substance. I am glad we still have pockets of such pre-industrial lifestyles with their tried and true means of existence and perhaps things may unravel to the point where we all are compelled to live like that again, but I pray not. (Should that become necessary, you certainly have a leg up on the likes of me.) However, I prefer that life be not poor, nasty, brutish and short. I like painless dentistry, anesthesia for surgery and antibiotics to treat infections that, in those halcyon days of our yeoman farmer ancestors frequently killed their victims. Not to mention the ability to travel to the dentist, hospital or pharmacy to obtain such goods and services. Nonetheless, best of luck with your homesteading life; may you live long and happily.
Aha, you are thinking of Williamsburg again. That is what society was in colonial America. The guild system with masters and apprentices is still practiced in Williamsburg and products are manufactured one at a time and there was no mass production or assembly lines. Each rifle was an individual.
I agree with both of you, I think that is where we are heading which makes the skills base of Williamsburg vital for it skills base for the future.
In old England, it was considered gauche for a business to advertise. But then the you know whos got back in with the ascent of William of Orange. Then England began to sicken and die.
No one should be allowed to rule, except the people by and for themselves, under Mother Nature.
Representatives? Maybe sometimes, if legitimate and with the freedom to opt-out. Once you have absolute rulers, you're back to square one and the kinds of problems you may have been trying to get out of in the first place.
Why are we the people allowing the politicians and MSM to tell us what we can and cannot see and hear? This is the covid mode of operation. Hiding under a rock, or down in the basement, is not a qualification for leadership; but more likely a setup for a bunch of unelected globalists to run the affairs of state, while hiding behind the curtain.
2) Leadership that does not stand for scrutiny, or offers word salads as an explanation and does not cooperate, should be immediately dismissed.
3) Our representatives in government need to treat everyone with dignity and respect. No lining of pockets with donor or NGO funds, and no gaming the system to gain an advantage. Just focus on doing the job they are being paid to do. Represent us, the whole population.
I would suggest that this would disqualify many members in DC at this point in time. It would wipe the slate clean, and provide for a new mode of operation, since they have demonstrated that they are unfit to rule US.
A voice like Sidney Powell needs to be heard, not silenced.
What is the status of the first Trump assassination attempt? Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us if the claim that audio of the event, that suggests that there was more than one initial shooter, is legit?
Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us about the backroom deals that the likes of John Kerry have made with foreign governments on our behalf?
Well, 2025 or 2030, which shall it be? We will see who gets the driver’s seat soon. What do you believe about the state of understanding of the problems of the USA right now? Does anyone know for sure who is right or wrong? IMO, Nope.
Macgregor claims that the US encouraged the invasion of Lebanon, and is on autopilot in support of their military actions.
My read is that "Joe Biden's" mode of operation has been to try and bribe leadership throughout the world to embrace peace and the 2030 Agenda, which seems to be at odds with Macgregor's claim.
Could it be that the majority of US politicians, and possibly others like the King of Jordan, are bought and paid for by Israel, and essentially being blackmailed?
It appears that only a small percent comprehend the problems that the US is currently confronted with, and perhaps only a small percent of those are able to comprehend an unbiased objective assessment.
Thinking that Israel is solely to blame is not a sign of smarts. Definitely involved, trying to get the best deals, but not everything.
Who is Iran armed by? Russia. Who is Iran's historical enemy? Sunni Muslims, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. What organization does Iran belong to? BRICS+. How often has Iran attacked Israel directly with boots on the ground? Never. Nor Iraq. Always missiles. BFD. They are cowards like the USA, always looking for a way to shed the other guys blood. Always proxies. When are the proxies going to figure out that they are being used? I will include the Arabs and the UKES in that statement.
Yo Jarek, you still haven't figured out that capitalism and "corporate personhood" AKA crony capitalists, or "Corporate Capitalists" as you like to call them, are completely different?
Greed drives the small to become medium sized, and the medium big, and the big into corporate giants. What could be simpler to understand? Men won't control themselves so someone else must do it.
What is your problem, woman? You want a simple answer. And the answer is simple but too close to home, i.e, human nature itself.
Uh huh, you just destroyed your own argument, Lugh.
Men won’t control themselves, so someone must do it. Right?
Your answer is some form of government. But one problem, government is comprised of men, just as subject to corruption as the corporate leaders.
The answer was and is, open markets where new business is being generated constantly to expand and put the older businesses out of business, continuous recycling. Second, ban lobbying of the government, consider it a bribe. Both are very much hard to do, but much better than government control.
So the answer is the Law of the Jungle, big eating small. That's what the market is, when left to itself. As the Alchemists said, Nature unaided, fails.
09/30/24: It's the same old pattern A) Feigning shock --- "How DARE you accuse of this!" Then, after their aberrant behavior through repetition has been normalized, B) "Yeah, that's who we are / what we did. UP YOURS!"
"Once in awhile the veil is lifted, and they bare their objectives for all the world to see." ~ Thomas

What 'veil'? Just look around and/or talk to any anarchist.
Cripes, they even spell it out in our art:

“Morpheus: 'The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: 'What truth?'
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison, for your mind.”

"Someone has written a book about the children and their need for their, just simply, emotional and mental development to have contact with the mountains, with the air, the sea, with the dawn, the sunset, the trees, the birds, the song of the birds. Children that don't have these experiences have no real idea of the world they live in. They live in a house, in a school, in a city that's all manufactured. And they begin to be progressively isolated from the basic dynamics of what human life is all about." ~ Thomas Berry
There is a shift in power happening and the blob doesn't like it. For one, few pay attention to the mockingbird press anymore. Because of this, the blob works feverishly playing whack-a-mole trying to limit online free speech but are not having a lot of luck. 12-year old girls on TikTok have viewership that Rachel Maddow would kill for and could never ever hope to have.
Force multipliers are now in the hands of the public as well. First off are the drones that Congress desperately wants to ban. Something like Waco is a lot harder to have when your opponent can see what you are up to. The public also has advanced optics, communications, night vision goggles, access to these a.i. like programs, etc. Coming after the public is going to be a lot harder when the agents are met with flamethrowing robot dogs. Naturally, they want to ban all of these things too but it is far too late.
Many have decided to go Galt and John Galt is a lot harder to deal with now.
Fox News and CNN are both killing the goose that lays the golden eggs by running so many commercials. If you want to a good source of international news, try DW (as in Deutsche Welle) which you can stream for free on either Amazon Firestick or Roku. The channel broadcasts in English.
Fox suppresses key stories. Most importantly, the widespread covid-vax one. They are traitors to liberal democracy's commitment to openness. Search in my stack for my writings on suppression, and esp. https://substack.com/home/post/p-145834457
The blob will settle for controlling the monetary system, and right now they are all slaving 24/7 to eliminate cash and impose an all-digital klepto (as you were) cryptocurrency regime on the world, complete with Wack-a-Mole hammers for everyone they do not like. "And they can try to buy ham and eggs with their Mercury dimes," is what they tell each other over brandy.
One can only hope Trump uses the DOJ to go after his political opponents…but he won’t.
When I was a Bostonian, I knew J Kerry. He was the second dumbest guy I had met there. The dumbest was the late Ted Kennedy. When Kerry ran against Bush in 04, it was truly Dumb and Dumber.
I was introduced to him at a wedding once. He was pretending to be Irish American. Kerry isn't a real Irish name. It's like calling someone John New York.
Yes he is. Many European Jews converted to Christianity in the 19th and early 20th century. He picked the name Kerry (as in County Kerry, Ireland) when he spun a globe around and his finger landed on Ireland.
09/30/24: A lot of those guys and ladies are fine people. Kerry is the inevitable stinker who ruins it for everyone else, continuing a fine American tradition since Benedict Arnold (sarcasm).
Don't you think their greater "fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason" will be a result of AG Garland and his cohorts being stripped of power, and no longer able to defend them from litigation by the general population?
We'll come out of this one way or other. Just a question of where rock bottom actually is, whether we've hit it yet, and how much worse for the wear we intend to be before we sober up.
Yep, the one thing I can say for absolute certain is get the hell out of cities. If someone offered me a free 2 million dollar "co-op" apartment in New York City but with the stipulation that I couldn't sell it and had to live there, I would pass and stay in my hermit cottage in the woods.
NYC, “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.” Right?
Except what about the folks that do not make it, to get sick, or get old? Cities become cesspools, crime centers, targets for illegals, and financial nightmares.
It is now or never to save the county. Certainly just electing DT is merely buying us more time. It’s what WE do with that time that counts. If KH somehow gets in there we will come out of it I agree, but it will simply be too late. The left is going to do everything that people like Clinton and Kerry are suggesting. Honestly I thought we were toast when JB was sworn in. It looked like they were going to seal our nation’s fate during 2021 and part of 2022.
Musk grabbing the reins of Twitter played a very large role in that. Some people accuse Musk of having a hidden agenda I am aware. However I have a theory on why TPTB let him acquire Twitter. At the time his politics were still pretty well a secret. I honestly think they let the sell go thru to torpedo Trump’s Truth Social.
“Now or never” was like, 40 years ago. Or 110, depending on how you see it and what version of “the country” you wanted to keep. Either way we’re way past that.
We’re in full “what comes after” mode now. But their answer is “totalitarian kakistocratic dystopia, forever”. Thing is that’s a retarded idea and always ends poorly and swiftly. So it’s not really an option, just a delusion. Thus my confidence that we’ll be fine in the longrun.
I guess I mean more along the lines of potentially preserving sanity. It may only be for a decade. 40 years ago there wasn’t enough deadwood to start the fire. There’s plenty of it now. This place is ripe for a forest fire of epic proportions. We really are at the breaking point though. And if the system isn’t reined in I don’t see how it ever will be. If KH wins we will all be on the train headed for the virtual gulag. Those that don’t want to get on board will be dealt with I have little doubt. The others probably won’t even notice it. I on an optimistic front there are a lot of people coming around. At least more than there was. Kennedy supporting a R is a microcosm of it. I just don’t know if it’s enough. The anger is palpable tho. Imagine being a black voter your whole life. The constant pandering during election times. Then watching the party that supposedly loved you importing illegals and filling up their EBT cards with more money than they give you. That’s gotta piss them off I would think. Plenty of other examples out there that must enrage the average citizen.
Well, just think it through. What happens *after* the hard-working, rational, honest people they hate so much are all fired, evicted, shipped off to gulag, killed, or whatever. Then they run things just fine without us? Yeah, right. That's how you get a Holodomor.
And then go a step further and ask how the assclowns are actually going to pull that off in the first place, without the help of anyone who can so much as follow step-by-step instructions without fucking it up, or put down the booze/pot long enough to finish a simple task. In a war of them against us, even their own idiots say they'll lose.
They're asking for a fight we don't want and they can't win. In the absolute worst case scenario they kill a bunch of us, then they die to their own incompetence, chaos ensues, and only people like us make it - our children and grandchildren who survive.
No matter how you play out the scenarios in your mind, the end result is: better people than they are end up inheriting whatever is left. Sucks, but history isn't dead and these things happen.
The useful, intelligent, skilled people will not all be killed: they will conform, be grateful to be still living, and the system will thereby keep running: see the Soviet Union, where engineers sent to the gulag on nonsense charges worked as prisoners in their professional capacity, and then happily stayed on once their sentence was completed, to work as 'free' professionals (with better living conditions).
We are going to replace you all with robots and AI, and kill you, is just a distraction from what they really plan.
Sure. But notice the soviet union is not around any longer. It collapsed under the weight of its own incompetence and growing resistance to the unlivable conditions created thereby. Because filtering for other-than-competence as a primary focus puts downward pressure on competence over time. We're already deep into this cycle. Planes are literally falling out of the sky. And unlike the early-to-middle period of the soviet dystopia, we are destroying infrastructure faster than we're building it (even if in a stupid, inefficient way), and our population is shrinking.
This is why the boot on your neck forever is a hyperbolic call to action, not a prediction. It doesn't work.
Here, I think we're already halfway through. It'll get worse before it'll get better. But I'd put money on my kids living to see the other side of it, if not myself.
You are right on the mark, what exactly is the future going to be, what is going to happen to the USA and all of us with the evil direction the people and government have taken.
" In a war of them against us, even their own idiots say they'll lose.
They're asking for a fight we don't want and they can't win."
Really? Here's a scenario;
Disrupt the electrical grid to all areas west of the Mississippi river. Heavily control governmental assistance to all areas west of the Mississippi. Use the military to patrol the entire river to prevent squirters, using disease and crime as a pretext. Allow movement across the river based on loyalty and utility.
After 60 days, begin the assimilation of the few remaining, grateful citizens. 60 days should do it, and the remains of the population would not be your "better" people.
And the guys who botched every unnecessary war in the past 60 years, then botched the withdrawal; who can't keep track of their own budget; who desperately point fingers at everyone other than themselves every time things go wrong; who have overseen the intentional dismantling of the manufacturing, infrastructure, manpower, competence and morale that supports their own monopoly on force; the people who can't keep drugs out of prisons; the ones who are reduced to helpless whining about counter-narratives because they can't even produce good propaganda; the guys who have wrecked two nuclear submarines, billions of dollars worth of aircraft, and lost a nuclear warhead, among many other things, in just the past couple decades...
Those guys are going to be the ones to pull off this brilliant plan with no hitches, no resistance, and no just telling them to go fuck themselves?
Or a lower middle class White voter. Once they got Trump in, he never mentioned them again, though he would routinely rave about Black and Hispanic job numbers.
Given the climate there are some things better left unsaid. I remember after GW Busch (Hurricane Katrina) and 8 years of the Boy King when Trump said “Build the Wall” I thought he was a goner. He has most definitely been a thorn in the media’s side as they have not been able to bully him. At the very least I am confident that DT doesn’t want to see this place wrecked.
If you want to let perfect be the enemy of the good or you want to fall for the “my vote doesn’t count” psyop knock yourself out. I will tell you that your vote does matter and that’s complete bullshit. In fact, that psyop is a big goddamn reason we are in this bucket of shit. To many people sat on their fat asses over the years bitching but not doing anything including voting. It allowed for the left to sneak in and become more entrenched.
Example: Take what is happening in North Carolina with the hurricane. That would NOT happen in Florida with DeSantis in there I can assure you 100%. That’s not to say he’s perfect but he’s a helluva lot better than what NC is dealing with.
We are much better served by people that call themselves conservatives. The further left a place seems to be the more fucked up it is. Conservatives and/or Repubs did help keep firearms in our hands FWIW.
Vote Constitution Party in the deeps where it doesn't matter as a way of building up the Party and chastising Trump and the Republicans for playing games with MAGA. Vote Trump in the swings to buy us some time.
Over the cliff is over the cliff. The Democrats at a screaming 120 mph. Trump at a staid 35. The speed limit! Mass "legal" immigration of non White, non-Christians.
Lugh, remember that elections today are won by small groups, by two or three states, by 10000 votes. Minorities are critical, the Dems found this out fifty years ago and have been working it since. Kudos to Trump to realize that getting more of these votes is critical to win.
Another positive that Trump is pointing out is when an economic ocean rises, all boats float higher, something the Dems forget about with their DEI politics.
Yes seriously, the republic fell when when we abandoned defending the borders only with the Monroe doctrine, and with the rise of the centralized executive POTUS in Andrew Jackson (who ironically called himself a populist) and the rise of Wall St. and the cities crowding out the craftspeople and farmers in the economy. All of this took place between roughly 1820 to 1840, a fateful generation for America.
The question is how much of that independent spirit can we bring back after the empire falls?
I am sure a lot of people in Russia thought the Soviet Union would last forever. Guess what in some ways conditions are worse here than the USSR, the USSR really never had the anrcho tyranny of letting "protected groups" loot and riot, and shoplift without consequence. USSR may not have had good housing, but it didn't have the massive homeless problem the U.S. has. I say all this not as a defense of Soviet tyranny, but to show how bad the U.S. gotten heavily propagandized guy.
Yes, Gary is in denial. JHK wrote about America’s tendency to deny the existence of on-coming problems and what a problem that is. If the domestic issues are denied, and especially the foreign issues, history says there will ALWAYS be a reaction, mostly negative. BTW, Dem political philosophy is based on this, “everything is fine, no problem”, betting on the ambivalence of the American public and the resultant appearance of stupidity.
“What me worry” is a very adequate slogan for MAD magazine.
I have read Musk’s bio by Isaacson. He is driven by good intentions in all his endeavors. he has taken many major back-breaking risks to develop the companies he has done and works his butt off in everything he does. He developed tesla and all its subsidiaries because he believes that we are going to have to electrify as oil RINOs down, he does Space-X because he believes Mankind needs to not totally depend on Earth as their only home. He bought Twitter and fired 95% of its people because he hated their censorship that they practiced openly and obnoxiously. He wants a forum that is untouched by bias, which does not exist now. Since then, Zuck has even admitted that the government has encouraged censorship throughout social media, the government being the White House. Keep looking for evil agendas with Musk, you will not find it. Suggest you read his bio.
That’s kind of what my gut tells me about him too. Have seen enough evidence that supports it. Like Trump, Elon doesn’t seem hellbent on destroying the nation or the people in it. The same cannot be said about the ruling elites and Neoliberal govt.
my opinion. If the country shits on Musk, like the FAA is currently trying to do, Musk will go elsewhere with his money and talent. He is here because he believes in America's openness and freedom. Just think, we can trade Musk for Kamala, what a deal.
His primary goal with Neuralink is to get spinal or stroke injured folks a way to bypass their injury.
BTW, he has stated that the uncontrolled advance of AI is more dangerous than nuclear war. All his work with AI has been under the guise of controlling its advancement. Unlike, Newsom who just vetoed a bill that was created to control AI.
Nothing wrong with Neuralink imo as long as we are told the truth about it. That’s the problem with those running things now. They have lied to us so much it’s impossible to believe anything. They could have our best interests at heart (they don’t lol) but no one would ever know. That being said, I guess they kind of had to lie to us. The shit that they’re wanting to pull on humanity most people would not be in favor of accepting.
Not any more. Seriously, his memories of SA are not good, alot of mental abuse. However, IMHO, let the USA go socialistic under the Leftists, Musk will be out of here with a lot of company. He has invested billions in this country, he has lots left to start over somewhere else.
While I have great admiration for Elon Musk (who but the richest man in the world could get his 74-year-old mother placed on the cover of the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue), I think part of the price for throwing his support behind Trump is the hope and expectation he will get continued favored treatment for Tesla, even as more and more people decide they do not want an EV after all, and this in the name of environmental protection even as the environmental issues of producing battery metals are becoming more and more apparent- and while Spacex is a refreshing alternative to cost-overrun, bureaucratic NASA, the behemoths he is hurling into space are punching the biggest holes imaginable in the ozone layer, generating huge volumes of CO2, and contributing to the pollution of the waters around Boca Chica.
Two things, one, we have to electrify and it has nothing to do with climate change. The world is already starting to run out of oil, and JHK says no more affordable by 2100. Nuclear power plants, if that is the decision, take 30 years to build. Tesla is Musk’s attempt to get humanity off of oil, a good cause. We actually ned to conserve what we have left rather than burning it up in cars.
Two, the space-x claims are conjectures by federal agencies trying to shut him down, probably financed by the MIC and Boeing. The federal government hates private success and competence and will try to destroy it. I do not believe any of their claims. Try comparing what comes out of 3000 airplanes to one rocket, and those 3000 airplanes are in the air all the time. Like climate change, someone better prove something instead of blah-blah-blah.
Also, the internet companies do not like Star link and want it shut down, they will not compete well with it. I heard Trump today in Georgia saying they are trying to get Star link into the affected areas because the ground based infrastructure has been damaged.
In his bio, Musk tried to open up X as a totally free wheeling operation with No censorship or AI guidance, It was called X blue. It was a total failure and was closed off in weeks because of the trolls and assholes that used it to air their crazy rotten opinions. Lots of porn and bad news language showed up. They are still working on this problem.
Substack fosters, for the time being, the comforting illusion that a freedom-loving 'community' actually exists, and that it can change thing and even win.
Very convenient to the puppet masters.
It is as fake as Russell Brand's 'community', or 'tribe', as he likes to put it.
It will all go nowhere, and evaporate in the next stage of the imposition of the Tyranny.
Each individual by blocking, muting or ignoring. Otherwise it's free speech and protected. Except of course for harassment and threats of violence, then off to court you go
While I heartily agree JHKs assessment of the political Left, I am not convinced that Donald Trump and his cohort will return lost Liberty to this benighted land. Trump is a fanatical supporter of Zionist-Israel and the MIC war machine. Donald Trump is the one who approved the COVID19 lockdown lunacy and payouts, last time Trump filled his Cabinet with the very Swamp creatures he railed against, HRC did not get charged with any of her many crimes, etc. etc. Of course, it's easy to vote against Harris / Walz and I like JD Vance but I do not think anything significant is going to change under another Trump presidency.
He won’t get it all right for sure and didn’t his first time, but I’d say he understands just how dire it is in 2024 vs when he first stepped into office in 2016.
Trump is unique among US politicians in that he can change. He is reachable by fact and by popular opinion. He is not anyone's captive, and I include Zionism among the supposed captors, which will find out they have been deluded by their arrogance into thinking they own him.
Popular opinion? I think you're right and that's really bad. The people are usually wrong about everything, simply believing the media. The Zionists own the media and they own Trump too. You can't take hundreds of millions and then not deliver. Not unless you control the military like Putin did. He pretended to be with the Oligarchs and then betrayed them. Alas Trump is no Putin.
You know, the big question is, How the hell did the Ult-left gain control of the information industry in the USA. And the universities and public education, Everything being taught to the public is Ult-Left. How exactly did that happen?
We will be. Israel will be overrun by Arab overpopulation, the Second Israel project in Ukraine/Khazaria by the Pale of Settlement grandkids will only win an influential patch on the Belt, not a whole, so the Americas- North, South, and Central- are being prepared. Note the depravity and despair of the natives, we're being buck-broken to the yoke.
Europe will be given to their Ishmaelite brothers with iewes as administrators, as were the Caliphates. Israel will likely remain as a rump of itself under Mizrahi rule, a Belt gateway statelet like Kosovo, but Eretz Ysrael will remain a dream. The Israelis will emigrate here in a third diaspora.
India and China are as equally fierce as ethnic competitors, and can't be blended into as easily as european and mestizo populations. Those Horses won't ride as well as we; China threw off her traces under Xi, and both have historic grievance against, HSBC opium and Mao in one case, the Sassoon Raj and Pakistan partition in the other.
Not for nothing was the UN headquartered at Rockefeller Center in NYC. But then, most don't realize that Nathan Rockefeller was the same ethnicity Keir Starmer is. NR wasn't French, just as KS isn't English.
With Emhoff in the US, Stein in Mexico, and the son of the Sephardi Castro in Canada, (and Sephardi Mayorkas bringing in the occupation troops), I'd say our rulers will consolidate, and soon, as they did in the land of milk and honey. You believe this to be the new Covenant nation, yes?
Putin has three things going for him, guts, common sense and love of country.
Sorta like Trump. You understand that the Deep State hate Russia, Putin, because they hate their own country and Putin’s nationalism and patriotism for Russia. Trump America First, Putin Russia First.
I wish Trump was a Putin but it just ain't so. Trump is too easily conned by sycophants who flatter his vast ego. That's how deep state goons were able to worm their way into his first administration to sabotage his agenda, I have an essay about that too.
Do you think the aim of the socialists is to create a Uniparty oligarchy that formalizes the governmental process of doing nothing for years, just going to parties every week? Is that the aim of the Mob?
Well the Adelsons made a 100 million dollar down payment on owning him. Don't get me wrong I will probably vote for him to save the 1st and 2nd Amendment and to stop WWIII against Russia, but my expectations are pretty low and I think we could easily see a Jew instigated war against Iran that we will fight under Trump.
Good question, I always found Chuck Baldwin to be a reasonable man. OTH, our rigged two party system means they are unlikely to win above the county level.
Disagree, Israel and Iran will never fight each other directly. Like the USA, the Iranians are content to let proxies fight their wars for them. Israel is about to destroy both of those two groups actually three with Yemen. Iran is a bipolar society like the USA, 50% of Iran is secular and would like nothing better than to get rid of the Fundamentalists. The Ayatollah has to be careful not to get too cute relative to Israel, or he will get his ass handed to him. Just look around, who will support Iran in the Middle East.
Meh Israel has been trying to get us to fight a war against Iran on their behalf since the Bush I era, if not since 1967. This kind of thing is why I am now an "anti-Semite," not that all Jews are bad people, many like JHK are intelligent and well intentioned, but their tribalism of placing being Jewish above being American and using AIPAC to buy our pols, has had very bad consequences.
The US gets nothing in return for the economic and military support that it provides to the ethno-supremacist apartheid nation of Israel. In fact, the U.S. suffers internationally on account of its close relationship with Israel Because of its constant vetoing of UN Resolutions intended to punish Israel for its human rights violations.
There is no alliance, and Israel is not our ally. Its government does not behave as an ally does, it has never fought alongside US forces in any of our foreign wars. Its interests are not aligned with ours as an ally’s should be. There is no formal treaty and no binding obligations that require our governments to do anything for the other.
Pundits always grossly exaggerates the extent of the ties between our governments. Israel is routinely called our “most important ally” in the region, or even our “most cherished ally” in all the world. These are ideological assertions that are not grounded in reality. Dozens of other states all over the world are better allies to the United States than the “most cherished ally” is. And they don’t preside over an illegal occupation and decades of abuses and crimes against the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Now being ethnically cleansed in a genocide with US supplied bombs dropped on refugee camps and hospitals.
The effect of this constant repetition is to make the US/Israel relationship to be extremely important to U.S. interests when it is not. It promotes an illusion of a common interest where no real common interest exists ~ and has now suckered the US into being complicit in a genocide.
The US taxpayers are having billions of their taxes stolen and given to apartheid Israel. Americans do not have Universal healthcare. But pay for Israel to have Universal healthcare. And the US is $35-trillion in Debt. The US and Israel have made themselves pariahs in the eyes of the World. This is not going to end well for the US or Israel. The US will survive. The same cannot be said for Israel.
Wow, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. What a poseur! Iran and Israel were on friendly terms in 1967. It wasn’t until the Ayatollah took over in ‘79 that Iran turned against Israel with all the fervor of the madman lying, blaspheming, usurper Muhammad. And the first country he attacked was the US. Like Harry Truman said during his campaign speeches of ‘48, “How many times does someone have to hit you upside the head before you know who’s hitting you?!”
Why, if he is not a complete puppet did he meet last week with Zelensky who basically told him to FO when as President he was urging prosecution of those who had helped stuff Biden's son with cash in Ukraine? If Zelensky's getting to stand up in front of Congress any time he wants (and get wild applause such as never seen since Stalin's days) It seems as likely Zelensky said,, "BTW, Donald, I'll be needing longer range missiles and improved drones," and Trump probably said, "I'll see what can do for you." This, after all is the man who hung Andrew Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office(a man who balanced i8 straight budgets and left the U.S. $0.00 in debt when he left office), promised to balance the budget himself... and then signed off on- did. not once veto- four consecutive TRILLION dollar deficit budgets.
Get this, Trump will never veto a budget. Budget balancers or debt hawks are folks, there is no way the USA can ever balance its budget again. Trump knows this and will not burn political capital trying to fight this FACT.
IMO, if we could even think about it, and started reducing spending now, it will take a hundred years to accomplish anything. We do not have a hundred years before the SHTF!!!!
IF he gets a co-operative congress for the first two years, he will rip the guts out of Biden’s fiasco of a presidency. The Leftist drift will take decades to undo, so the long term “cure” for America will only be accomplished by the follow-ons to Trump, think Tulsi, (the first female president?), Vance, RFK,Jr.. Musk would be excellent but does no qualify, being South African The first day, half of Biden’s stupidity. Will be gone as his ridiculous EOs will be voided. That will be a day to cheer. Very quickly, the military will be put on the border to stop the invasion and Army engineers will finish the wall. Then all the technical aids will be installed and the number of border patrol and all the legalistic such as immigration judges will be reduced. A new immigration structure will be installed to determine yearly needs for immigrants and they will be controlled at ports of entry. The criminal elements will not have free access to Un patrolled border points as they have. The Ult-Left will go nuts as their drug flow will be drastically cut down. People will stop coming here when the criminal opportunity no longer presents itself.
Yearly need for immigrants? Wow, as if we don't have enough cheap labor for generations already. You didn't mention the mass deportation. I don't believe it either.
He actually has said that the Mass Deportations will be the criminals, 15000 announced today, first and the illegal crossers second.
Lugh, a You Tube report has surfaced that says that 7.5 million young adult males in this country are firmly on the federal tit, not even looking for a job, not even included on the unemployment report. The immigrants are motivated to work and they are taking the “dirty” physical jobs because Americans won’t. Thank you Deep State and Covid for the change. BTW, our discussion on the changes due to the “Williamsburg conversion” in the future. Lots of those 7.5 million are going to starve as they will not work.
I say the first two years as sitting presidents typically get hit on the congressional election on the off-year. If Trump proves himself, and things get better, the off-years election goes his way, we might have a chance of throwing off the Leftist yoke choking the country.
There are too many minions and indoctrinated people that literally infest government at all levels, even down to the county clerks, to ever fully throw off the marxist yolk. The best we could hope for is a muzzling like that of a rabid dog.
Yes, the same could be asked of a parent teaching their child to ride a bike. I enjoy the logic, but it misses the point that life is a school. The parent could plan to avoid giving the child pain, but then the child would never learn to ride a bike. Or do much of anything else.
Easy, when He created man in his image, he gave humans the ability to reason, to be able to tell right from wrong. That is a waste of effort if man did not have free choice. So-o-o, God gave man free choice, to choose between good and evil and promised to not interfere with man’s choosing.
A much better question to ask might be: where did evil come from? Did God create evil? Or is there a second power equal to God?
While I will probably vote for him as a "lesser evil," your fan boism is nothing but a mirror of shitlib fan boism, stop worshipping corrupt venal pols. How hard is that?
Read my posts please, I hate the Deep State, the federal government as it now is.
Remember “Government of the people, by the people and for the people”?
Now it has become People of the government, by the government and for the government. It is the government at federal level that has destroyed the basic goodness of America and its promise to be the Light on the hill. The world has noticed. My definition of any politician is that they are failures at everything else they tried and are motivated solely by power. I do not believe Trump fits that description. He had more power as a New York developer than as president and he certainly has not been a failure in that rotten NYC environment.
Actually he failed us a lot in the 1st term he kept on Faucci and rushed the vax through, didn’t build the wall and cozied up to the genocidal maniacs in Israel, and didn’t drain the swamp. He also didn’t pardon the J6 protestors, leaving them out to dry.
In fact he basically kept none of his campaign promises. Is he better than the overtly evil empty vessel Kamala? Yes, but that is a low bar and nothing to get excited about. Being a fan boi of a pol is a low info fool move, do better.
One of your very best, James. Monday is definitely better because of you.
Seconded. That first paragraph, in particular, is an all-time great! Sad to think that I once voted for the idiot Kerry back when he opposed the Shrub and Darth Cheney. Oh well, live and learn, I guess.
TGIF, especially when JHK blogs.
Today's Monday not Friday. Worse living through acronyms.
Oh, my, Lugh not reading intent again. Barbara stating Mondays are better because of JHK, I just added Friday to that.
The road to hell is paved with good intent.
You two are too cute. ^u^
Meh, I get so tired of these JHK analyses and proclamations that most of us here on CFN already know. Sure, they're exquisitely worded and expounded upon per usual, but there are just blogs like this one, where there's just SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.
That said, I appreciate out host for letting us vent our spleens anyway. Cheers.
First it must be said that Mr. Kunstler is an exceptional writer, with a marvelous turn of phrase. However, as per your critique, his columns represent the mindset of conservatism. Conservatism itself is no better than some vague platitudes that hang on the wall ('lower taxes', 'smaller government', 'free market').
For the past 70 years conservatives have done nothing but whine and complain. The best they can offer is a laundry list of the latest leftist outrages, then sit back and say "It's obvious this is wrong", without ever analyzing how and why it's wrong, nor any clue about how to effectively confront it. No wonder conservatives have conserved nothing, not even women's bathrooms.
Meanwhile the masses of traditional people keep listening to and voting for conservatives, then wonder why nothing ever changes as the wokusts keep implementing their agenda. If the masses really want change, they should vote for the so-called 'far right', but they've been groomed by wokusts to think the far right are all racist nazis who engage in 'hate speech'. Such false caricatures keep them voting for weak patsies whom the left can easily control. What a perfect setup for the wokusts... both traditional voters and conservative leaders are thus proven to be oblivious morons.
Well, the Left is right you know. America was founded by Whites for Whites, racists in other words. But they think this is a bad thing - as if people build nations for other peoples. Did the Chinese build up China for the Blacks? Or the Whites?
No, the original Americans built lives for themselves, it was individualism against collectivism. They built lives in the wilderness and then had the audacity to tell the King of England he and his army couldn’t just take it away.
The aristocratic minded southerners were able to continue on for another half century, but the individualistic North eventually won again.
Now it’s another battle. The Democrats are, as always, on the side of collectivism and the abolition of freedom. We must muster the strength to fight for freedom and liberty once again.
I view it as talk therapy, if nothing else. "Water cooler" talk, if you will. And that's not a bad thing either.
What did you write as Disaffected at Jim's homesite that ostensibly pissed him off, BTW? I missed it, it had been deleted apparently.
Asking for Zaz.
I think I linked to a video he didn't like, or something. But we had been dueling somewhat before that. I try to be gracious, but apparently not enough sometimes. Stuff happens. What are ya gonna do?
Got it. Thanks for the elaboration.
I got booted from here and still don't even know why. Neither does our host. Or so it is said.
SWIM can tell you what YOU can do. Start smuggling some of that good stuff being held hostage in Bomb City and give it Iran. They know exactly what to do with it. Evidence immediately destroyed. And, you know, "plausible deniability."
09/30/24: The "October Surprise" will hit between October 7-11th, and it has H. Clinton and M. Garland dead-center in its sights.
Sources/references? And might it have to do with in-fighting?
I read some time ago that one knows when the end is nigh when the so-called 'elites' start in-fighting-- I mean, beyond the norm.
10/01/24: At the risk of causing offense, I've have to say that I never discuss my "sources/references." The only thing that counts is results. As for infighting, I'll rate that as an unlikely ingredient.
Agree. Still stunned that with Evil Google I actually have to type the word "substack" to get here.
Anyhow, your readers would enjoy my recent series on the concept of Suppression, the coordinated media and political-class refusal to admit that a story is a story. The most recent is "What Suppression Is Not," https://pomocon.substack.com/p/what-suppression-is-not but the most popular and important is "The Rationales of the Knowing Suppressors, Pt. I" https://pomocon.substack.com/p/what-suppression-is-not
agreed!
“It’s really hard to govern today. . . . The First Amendment stands as a major block.” Once in awhile the veil is lifted, and they bare their objectives for all the world to see. It doesn't happen very often - in fact it occurs very rarely. But when it does, it underscores all that their actions tell us about them. Absolute, unchallengeable power. Apart from the constructive abolition of the 1st Amendment, they must dilute the 2nd Amendment to the point where it's little more than words scratched on centuries old parchment. Then comes the liquidation of the undesirables a la the Khmer Rouge, Stalin, etc. etc. etc. This story is old, but each time it happens it is as though it had never happened before.
They mean rule, they dont want to govern, they want to be iron fisted rulers, to that i say they need an iron fisted smack to the head, literally
I would have said "upside" the head.
Would you be content useing copper & lead instead of iron?
That's going to hurt us more than them. I'd suggest our very own Ron Anselmo's throat-punch instead. Ron?
They've been whittling away at the 2nd amendment for years, a bump stock here, a large capacity magazine there, until now the government outguns the citizenry (and Joe sneeringly reminded us that they have F-16s).
The founders did #2 for two reasons:
1) To form a means of self-defense for the country and each state. A militia will be formed for protection and the people will be armed with weapons to do that protection. Even in the Civil war, states sent their militias to fight for the North and South, remember Chamberlain’s 20th Maine? Arms were guaranteed to each individual for use in the militia. One difference then is demonstrated in Williamsburg, the Armory where all weapons were stored that could not be stored at home. People needed arms for self-protection in those days just as today.
2) The main reason that Dem socialists want those guns, to enable Jefferson’s proclamation in the Declaration that it is the responsibility of a people to overthrow a bad overbearing government. Today’s Leftist Deep State IS a bad overbearing government. They want our guns and they do not give a shit about the Constitution.
2A was the dumbest Amendment the slave holding misogynist founding fathers dreamed up.
400 million guns. Many in the hands of the insane and folk who should not be anywhere near firearms.
Why the US has one of the highest rate of gun homicides per capita in the free World.
Too easy to get drunk and kill your girlfriend.
Is that you kamellla?
Hey guess what, you can stuff that BULLschiTT
I WILL KEEP THEM FOREVER
I'm voting for Donald Trump.
I know that Murica is stuck with its horrendous fun violence FOREVER.
That horse escaped the barn long ago.
Because of people like with your gun fetish's ~ all future generations are burdened with it.
Having to arm themselves to the teeth to protect themselves from whack jobs like you breaking into their house at night.
Why? Go look at the FBI statistics on who is shooting the most people. Wake up.
Does it matter who is doing the shooting, Sharon?
Wake up! They are all Americans.
course it matters you wake up!! People have to know information to defend themselves.
The government loves ignorant people who don’t pay attention to patterns. They love to blame people who are blameless. Blame the people who are actually shooting. Stop with the propaganda. The TV, media and government are fooling you.
dear Lord that's horrible information, Dennis! You don't own one, do you?
I have several black powered pistols and long rifles.
Used at the range for fun.
The weapons the founding fathers had in mind in promulgating 2A.
I also have a Glock 17 in my gun case.
Ask my doctor daughter who is an Emergency Room Doctor in Madison, WI what she thinks of 2A as she has two teenagers die of gunshot wounds on her shift?
Yes, I agree that the number of gun homicides per capita in the US is horrible information.
Google it. and weep.
We've always had the 2nd amendment but we haven't always had a crime problem. It's corruption of the culture, not the guns per se. And of course, Blacks.
Wrong on all fronts as far as 2a goes typical Socialist idiot.
You shouldnt even own letter openers as you are too slow to comprehend actual statistics.
Dennis: if you remove the "inner city" (oops….a dog whistle according to Libs) statistics of violent assaults and homicides the USA is one of the LEAST violent countries in the world. Thank Diversity & Cultural Enrichment for the high firearm misuse.
I have news for you Grumpy.
THE INNER CITY IS ALSO AMERICA.
Good try though! LOL
*Founding Fathers
Founders is a feminist government word that cuts the balls off men it was men who made the declaration of independence, It was all men
All white men. All slave owners. And all misogynist's! Women haters.
Bullshit. John and Abigail Adams had the most romantic relationship and send each other beautiful letters. I don’t believe it about the misogyny. You are listening to a bunch of crappy propaganda from the government. Why would you trust them?
The founders were men of their times. The USA is where Blacks became free, and women got the vote and inhabit many governmental offices today. You America haters, especially from overseas can kiss my butt.
You hate men. You hate Whites. You hate White men most of all.
True. Of what use are fighter and bomber aircraft in a Civil War fought in your country on territory you must preserve in order to prosper? Will a military of volunteers from your own citizens violently suppress the rebels who may be family & friends?
If the Progressive Elites want a violent confrontation with the Citizens, let them be first to arms and out front in battle.
There are other ways to pizz in their cheerios that will be more effective
Then they probably still won't understand or appreciate guerrilla warfare, with internal being the worst.
The planes have to land and pilots eat eventually and to know and interact with others, like on the ground.
That's in large part why civs collapse probably. Because they have the worst of a relatively small set of people slippy-sloping progressively upward on high horses-- apparently like that 'haircut-in-search-of-a-conscience/brain'-- who seem to think that it's their rules (AKA, 'The Law', as if it's immutable like the laws of physics) or the highway.
No it's not the law. It never was and never will be, not for long, anyway.
The only law that matters is Mother Nature's.
The last time I checked, Joe Biden doesn’t know how to fly and F-16, doubtful he knows how to fly a kite for that matter, besides living on a beach where kite flying is fun. I digress, he doesn’t know that Dr. Jill doesn’t know that the septic truck that pumps human waste from Air Force One is NOT the Jet A fuel truck, and imagine Hunter pulling the flags and pins out of the 500 pound ordinance under the wings…exactly not going to happen. (Can you see ole Hunter on the CVN Gerald Ford heaving deck trying to pull the pins? Hmmm, that might be worth some money spent to witness.) No they don’t get that Charlie is out here in the bush, we starve but squat and get stronger, insurgents work that way, they get hungry and more determined, ever meet an angry insurgent, likely you won’t, but try torturing one. You won’t get far. That is what all these midwits miss, all around them are insurgents, they don’t see it, the same way the brass in Saigon, Baghdad and Kabul didn’t see it, but they are there, living and biding their time. John Forbes “Live shot” Kerry likely has an IQ of around 100, just smart enough to be identified as not hopelessly dumb, but really dumb. Prep school, Yale, a path parted for him by wealth, never challenged and allowed to run untethered from reality his whole life and especially as Secretary of State, he got away with it. He reminds one of the kid in your class at (name the prep school) who is still angry he was not voted student head of the school, lost by a whisker if you ask him, but actually because he was a brown nosing snitch the student body hated his ass and didn’t vote for him…go figure 80 years old and still angry, not a good way to be, thieving everyone’s oxygen with his prattle. All revolutions end the same, not with a bang but whimper. One can ask what happens with the USA and its revolution, it was a divorce so doesn’t count…unless it continues and those pressing the dialectic prevail. My money is on the insurgents. May take a while, but it worked in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as example….
Thomas, I’d say they’ve been very open about what’s in store for us since 2020, almost mocking us to be able to do anything about it
There's a school of thought that the dark cult telegraphs its intentions. If nothing is done about it, they earn a karmic 'get-out-of-jail-free' card.
Exactly. That is a Satanist thing.
In a different way, Macron lifted the veil in 2022 when he cited '... the end of abundance'.
That's the very same issue that JHK referred to in his book 'The Long Emergency' (2005).
Clearly at least one person in France who's advising Macron understands that 1) fossil fuels are the lifeblood of industrial society 2) they're not infinite and 3) 'Limits to Growth' was broadly correct. Some in the US deep state realise too, read 'The Last Oil Shock' (2007).
A very perceptive observation!
If we look at the WEF, UN, etc, policies, we see a common thread - a response to over-population and financial collapse in the context of depleting and degraded resources, principally oil,coal and gas, but also all ores and minerals.
It's all about the rationing of energy and resources. And of life itself.
Exactly. They are right about many things. But their response is to try and power down the World while staying at the top - at the expense of all humanity. Thus they must be destroyed. Alas those that fight them deny the truths they believe in because they believe in them.
Figures in an Oxfam report suggested that if billionaires and multi-millionaires could live more modestly - maybe more like 'mere' millionaires - global GHG emissions could fall 30-40%.
See: https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/carbon-emissions-richest-1-percent-more-double-emissions-poorest-half-humanity
I'm not holding my breath because most billonaires seem to think differently from 'normal' people. Warren Buffett was considered unusual in the past because he lived in a typical suburban house, not in a mansion.
George Bush 41 laughingly referred to Bill Clinton and Al Gore as "Bozo and Ozone" (they had the last laugh on him, though, as the election turned out), but "The Inconvenient Truth" about Gore is that he a 24 karat phony when it comes to environmentalism and "decarbonizing" the economy, living in a 50,000 sq ft mansion and crisscrossing the nation in his ozone-depleting private jet.
It would help, for a start to select candidates who were known for operating successful businesses but lived modestly, such as Ron Paul, or Sam Walton (even the big city Chicago boss Richard Daley was known to have lived in a modest home.) This would also exclude gluttons like New Jersey's Chris ("Crisco") Christy.
A very perceptive thread, thanks.
Yes, Lugh, add on the fact that those PTB want to change things so that you and I take the hit and not them. That is why they need to be torn down from their perches. Now who is the better candidate to tear them down?
Xavier, very good. One thing though is that change of how mankind does its business HAS to happen, the whole debate depends on how it will be done, the hard way (war etc.) or an easy way (adaptation). So far, economic and physical war seems to be the sole way.
It's probably a good idea to vote for Trump to buy us time, but to see him as your lord and savior is just ludicrous. At the end of the day he is just another Jew tool in the ZOG.
Why isn't there a (inter)national discussion about this?
If you go on the site RT you will find people from every country
What percent of the general population have a clue about the 2030 Agenda, and "Joe Biden" being "committed to the full implementation of 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, at home and abroad"?
What percent of the US population view and believe anything that is promoted on the RT site?
Good questions! I hope more and more every day. that’s why I come on Substack to find out what’s going on and let people know , as many as possible
Therefore Corporate Capitalists cannot be allowed to rule. Resources must be carefully marshalled, not squandered for profit or in frivolous pursuits. How did this jibe with Americanism? It doesn't.
There is an American way to handle a transition to a less energy intensive society though, and that's a return to the society of the founders with yeoman family farms, and more local craft oriented enterprises making high quality items that can be maintained and even passed down the generations. My hope would be we can at least maintain some benefits of modernity like CNC machines, but the future is local.
I am all for the yeoman farms and small business/craft-oriented society you describe, but I fear this is a pipe dream. We are no longer Hobbits, isolated from those around us in The Shire. Even when Tolkien was writing about that idyllic world, it was already over, something he tacitly acknowledged. Supporting ourselves on our own parcel of farmland sounds very appealing, but it takes but one bad crop year, one summer of drought or torrential spring rain to annihilate any hopes of succeeding in that endeavor. To be honest, we need abundant available energy to survive. Without energy to power our society, we are doomed to live in a Hobbesian world. With sufficient energy, everyone benefits. We don't have to burn our forests to stay warm as before, nor do we need to mine coal, as alternative sources like natural gas are so abundant. Advances in safe nuclear power generation are already available and, unless the luddites among us prevail, will be coming on line soon enough. Our problem is not too much energy; it is not enough. Oh, and also too many politicians whose goal is to gather as much power as we allow them to have unto themselves at our expense.
The entire national- and world- manufacturing order is thrown into disarray by the imposition of different sets of rules. One reason that natural gas currently trades for one quarter of its former high (under $3/mcf vs $13+) is, even though it is massively cleaner burning than coal, that it is being demonized in the U.S. as "contributing to global warming," even as massively polluted(the joke is that their national bird is the looney) China continues to ADD coal-burning plants- and is accorded Most Favorable Nation status when it comes to exporting its products more cheaply, costing jobs elsewhere. Yet, ironically, their efforts to reduce pollution in their major cities is the driving reason for their emphasis on EV's, which are helping destroy both European and American car makers(See today's Stellantis news) who cannot compete except with big tariffs
"[China's] efforts to reduce pollution in their major cities is the driving reason for their emphasis on EV's"
No.
China makes EVs because they believe the rest of the world will buy EVs instead of ICE vehicles, due to the Globalist policies which outsourced manufacturing to China. China discovered they can make EVs cheaply, and the trend was born.
Caveat Emptor if you buy a Chinese made vehicle or a vehicle with extensive China-manufactured parts.
Well I living in a homestead myself, so like Johnson kicking the rock as evidence of its real existence, I refute you thus. Clearly you haven't recovered enough from being a lawyer.
I admire and envy your independence. However, you are availing yourself of the internet to respond to me only because there is sufficient energy to power its myriad servers, etc. And unless you are Amish, I assume you use gasoline/diesel-powered equipment like chainsaws, tractors, etc. and have electricity to power your lights as well as your computer and an internet connection. (If you are Amish, a population with which I am intimately familiar, that is a different situation. And shame on you for using the internet like the English!) That was my point; we do not live in Eighteenth Century Colonial Williamsburg. Nor, for that matter, do most of us even live like Sean James, whose "My Self Reliance" podcast I enjoy immensely, but who still is reliant on "civilization" for much of his substance. I am glad we still have pockets of such pre-industrial lifestyles with their tried and true means of existence and perhaps things may unravel to the point where we all are compelled to live like that again, but I pray not. (Should that become necessary, you certainly have a leg up on the likes of me.) However, I prefer that life be not poor, nasty, brutish and short. I like painless dentistry, anesthesia for surgery and antibiotics to treat infections that, in those halcyon days of our yeoman farmer ancestors frequently killed their victims. Not to mention the ability to travel to the dentist, hospital or pharmacy to obtain such goods and services. Nonetheless, best of luck with your homesteading life; may you live long and happily.
Aha, you are thinking of Williamsburg again. That is what society was in colonial America. The guild system with masters and apprentices is still practiced in Williamsburg and products are manufactured one at a time and there was no mass production or assembly lines. Each rifle was an individual.
I agree with both of you, I think that is where we are heading which makes the skills base of Williamsburg vital for it skills base for the future.
In old England, it was considered gauche for a business to advertise. But then the you know whos got back in with the ascent of William of Orange. Then England began to sicken and die.
I have an essay on that.

My thoughts are that "the future is local" doesn't take into consideration an international perspective.
Do you anticipate the international horde will be respectful this time?
They will have a tough time getting here when the gas runs out.
I anticipate there will be gas for their tank, but not for ours.
No one should be allowed to rule, except the people by and for themselves, under Mother Nature.
Representatives? Maybe sometimes, if legitimate and with the freedom to opt-out. Once you have absolute rulers, you're back to square one and the kinds of problems you may have been trying to get out of in the first place.
In the present case of America, how do you see this functioning with a polarized population?
What should be the qualifications to rule? Does any part of the 2030 Agenda qualify? Would Putin or Xi qualify? How would bad leadership be removed?
Who would be in charge of dealing with a nation that squandered resources for profit or in frivolous pursuits?
The following are a few proposals:
1) Leadership should stand for scrutiny.
Why are we the people allowing the politicians and MSM to tell us what we can and cannot see and hear? This is the covid mode of operation. Hiding under a rock, or down in the basement, is not a qualification for leadership; but more likely a setup for a bunch of unelected globalists to run the affairs of state, while hiding behind the curtain.
2) Leadership that does not stand for scrutiny, or offers word salads as an explanation and does not cooperate, should be immediately dismissed.
3) Our representatives in government need to treat everyone with dignity and respect. No lining of pockets with donor or NGO funds, and no gaming the system to gain an advantage. Just focus on doing the job they are being paid to do. Represent us, the whole population.
I would suggest that this would disqualify many members in DC at this point in time. It would wipe the slate clean, and provide for a new mode of operation, since they have demonstrated that they are unfit to rule US.
A voice like Sidney Powell needs to be heard, not silenced.
What is the status of the first Trump assassination attempt? Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us if the claim that audio of the event, that suggests that there was more than one initial shooter, is legit?
Who will stand for scrutiny, and tell us about the backroom deals that the likes of John Kerry have made with foreign governments on our behalf?
Well, 2025 or 2030, which shall it be? We will see who gets the driver’s seat soon. What do you believe about the state of understanding of the problems of the USA right now? Does anyone know for sure who is right or wrong? IMO, Nope.
Macgregor claims that the US encouraged the invasion of Lebanon, and is on autopilot in support of their military actions.
My read is that "Joe Biden's" mode of operation has been to try and bribe leadership throughout the world to embrace peace and the 2030 Agenda, which seems to be at odds with Macgregor's claim.
Could it be that the majority of US politicians, and possibly others like the King of Jordan, are bought and paid for by Israel, and essentially being blackmailed?
It appears that only a small percent comprehend the problems that the US is currently confronted with, and perhaps only a small percent of those are able to comprehend an unbiased objective assessment.
Thinking that Israel is solely to blame is not a sign of smarts. Definitely involved, trying to get the best deals, but not everything.
Who is Iran armed by? Russia. Who is Iran's historical enemy? Sunni Muslims, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. What organization does Iran belong to? BRICS+. How often has Iran attacked Israel directly with boots on the ground? Never. Nor Iraq. Always missiles. BFD. They are cowards like the USA, always looking for a way to shed the other guys blood. Always proxies. When are the proxies going to figure out that they are being used? I will include the Arabs and the UKES in that statement.
Yo Jarek, you still haven't figured out that capitalism and "corporate personhood" AKA crony capitalists, or "Corporate Capitalists" as you like to call them, are completely different?
When will you learn?
Greed drives the small to become medium sized, and the medium big, and the big into corporate giants. What could be simpler to understand? Men won't control themselves so someone else must do it.
What is your problem, woman? You want a simple answer. And the answer is simple but too close to home, i.e, human nature itself.
Uh huh, you just destroyed your own argument, Lugh.
Men won’t control themselves, so someone must do it. Right?
Your answer is some form of government. But one problem, government is comprised of men, just as subject to corruption as the corporate leaders.
The answer was and is, open markets where new business is being generated constantly to expand and put the older businesses out of business, continuous recycling. Second, ban lobbying of the government, consider it a bribe. Both are very much hard to do, but much better than government control.
So the answer is the Law of the Jungle, big eating small. That's what the market is, when left to itself. As the Alchemists said, Nature unaided, fails.
09/30/24: It's the same old pattern A) Feigning shock --- "How DARE you accuse of this!" Then, after their aberrant behavior through repetition has been normalized, B) "Yeah, that's who we are / what we did. UP YOURS!"
I know you're totally full of shit, and you just like hearing yourself. No account loser.

Monkman's The Scream
https://i.cbc.ca/1.3950592.1485294885!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_1180/the-scream-by-kent-monkman.jpg
There is a shift in power happening and the blob doesn't like it. For one, few pay attention to the mockingbird press anymore. Because of this, the blob works feverishly playing whack-a-mole trying to limit online free speech but are not having a lot of luck. 12-year old girls on TikTok have viewership that Rachel Maddow would kill for and could never ever hope to have.
Force multipliers are now in the hands of the public as well. First off are the drones that Congress desperately wants to ban. Something like Waco is a lot harder to have when your opponent can see what you are up to. The public also has advanced optics, communications, night vision goggles, access to these a.i. like programs, etc. Coming after the public is going to be a lot harder when the agents are met with flamethrowing robot dogs. Naturally, they want to ban all of these things too but it is far too late.
Many have decided to go Galt and John Galt is a lot harder to deal with now.
Bill O’Reilly stated he has much more access to the public on You Tube than Fox News. Changing times!
Fox News and CNN are both killing the goose that lays the golden eggs by running so many commercials. If you want to a good source of international news, try DW (as in Deutsche Welle) which you can stream for free on either Amazon Firestick or Roku. The channel broadcasts in English.
Fox suppresses key stories. Most importantly, the widespread covid-vax one. They are traitors to liberal democracy's commitment to openness. Search in my stack for my writings on suppression, and esp. https://substack.com/home/post/p-145834457
The blob will settle for controlling the monetary system, and right now they are all slaving 24/7 to eliminate cash and impose an all-digital klepto (as you were) cryptocurrency regime on the world, complete with Wack-a-Mole hammers for everyone they do not like. "And they can try to buy ham and eggs with their Mercury dimes," is what they tell each other over brandy.
Right. As long as highly reliable telecommunications systems, much more reliable than what we have in place now are implemented.
Ask people in Western North Carolina/Eastern Tennessee what works; cash or card? No comms, no purchasing of necessities.
Yes this is the hope not our corrupt venal political system.
One can only hope Trump uses the DOJ to go after his political opponents…but he won’t.
When I was a Bostonian, I knew J Kerry. He was the second dumbest guy I had met there. The dumbest was the late Ted Kennedy. When Kerry ran against Bush in 04, it was truly Dumb and Dumber.
Both of them Skull and Bones at Yale, with very subpar SAT scores....Coincidence?!
I was introduced to him at a wedding once. He was pretending to be Irish American. Kerry isn't a real Irish name. It's like calling someone John New York.
He's Czech/Ashkenazi, I believe.
Yes he is. Many European Jews converted to Christianity in the 19th and early 20th century. He picked the name Kerry (as in County Kerry, Ireland) when he spun a globe around and his finger landed on Ireland.
09/30/24: A lot of those guys and ladies are fine people. Kerry is the inevitable stinker who ruins it for everyone else, continuing a fine American tradition since Benedict Arnold (sarcasm).
John Kerry's favorite sport is soccer. That's about all you need to know.
You're full of shite, Jarek.
Now what?
Don't you think their greater "fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason" will be a result of AG Garland and his cohorts being stripped of power, and no longer able to defend them from litigation by the general population?
Wrong Mark. He will get them all and some will hurt so bad they will drop off a cliff - literally - and I will celebrate!
We'll come out of this one way or other. Just a question of where rock bottom actually is, whether we've hit it yet, and how much worse for the wear we intend to be before we sober up.
I love that handle! It strikes me as the perfect pharma name for the red pill.
Ex: Don't try that duplicitous shit on me, amigo! I take my daily dose of Fukitol religiously and I can see right through it.
You just might have something there- a pharmaceutical-type name for the Red Pill. I like it!
Or a new brand of booze?
Vodka, Gin, Scotch, Irish whisky, Bourbon and
Fukitol.
Fukitol is good peeps. Stay tuned to what he says, it's always interesting.
What about the black pill, dis? Burnitalldownetal?
Yep, the one thing I can say for absolute certain is get the hell out of cities. If someone offered me a free 2 million dollar "co-op" apartment in New York City but with the stipulation that I couldn't sell it and had to live there, I would pass and stay in my hermit cottage in the woods.
Yes, everyone says get out of the cities now. Sharpen your blades for Halloween.
Absolutely agree.
NYC, “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.” Right?
Except what about the folks that do not make it, to get sick, or get old? Cities become cesspools, crime centers, targets for illegals, and financial nightmares.
And tent cities.
It is now or never to save the county. Certainly just electing DT is merely buying us more time. It’s what WE do with that time that counts. If KH somehow gets in there we will come out of it I agree, but it will simply be too late. The left is going to do everything that people like Clinton and Kerry are suggesting. Honestly I thought we were toast when JB was sworn in. It looked like they were going to seal our nation’s fate during 2021 and part of 2022.
Musk grabbing the reins of Twitter played a very large role in that. Some people accuse Musk of having a hidden agenda I am aware. However I have a theory on why TPTB let him acquire Twitter. At the time his politics were still pretty well a secret. I honestly think they let the sell go thru to torpedo Trump’s Truth Social.
“Now or never” was like, 40 years ago. Or 110, depending on how you see it and what version of “the country” you wanted to keep. Either way we’re way past that.
We’re in full “what comes after” mode now. But their answer is “totalitarian kakistocratic dystopia, forever”. Thing is that’s a retarded idea and always ends poorly and swiftly. So it’s not really an option, just a delusion. Thus my confidence that we’ll be fine in the longrun.
I guess I mean more along the lines of potentially preserving sanity. It may only be for a decade. 40 years ago there wasn’t enough deadwood to start the fire. There’s plenty of it now. This place is ripe for a forest fire of epic proportions. We really are at the breaking point though. And if the system isn’t reined in I don’t see how it ever will be. If KH wins we will all be on the train headed for the virtual gulag. Those that don’t want to get on board will be dealt with I have little doubt. The others probably won’t even notice it. I on an optimistic front there are a lot of people coming around. At least more than there was. Kennedy supporting a R is a microcosm of it. I just don’t know if it’s enough. The anger is palpable tho. Imagine being a black voter your whole life. The constant pandering during election times. Then watching the party that supposedly loved you importing illegals and filling up their EBT cards with more money than they give you. That’s gotta piss them off I would think. Plenty of other examples out there that must enrage the average citizen.
Well, just think it through. What happens *after* the hard-working, rational, honest people they hate so much are all fired, evicted, shipped off to gulag, killed, or whatever. Then they run things just fine without us? Yeah, right. That's how you get a Holodomor.
And then go a step further and ask how the assclowns are actually going to pull that off in the first place, without the help of anyone who can so much as follow step-by-step instructions without fucking it up, or put down the booze/pot long enough to finish a simple task. In a war of them against us, even their own idiots say they'll lose.
They're asking for a fight we don't want and they can't win. In the absolute worst case scenario they kill a bunch of us, then they die to their own incompetence, chaos ensues, and only people like us make it - our children and grandchildren who survive.
No matter how you play out the scenarios in your mind, the end result is: better people than they are end up inheriting whatever is left. Sucks, but history isn't dead and these things happen.
The useful, intelligent, skilled people will not all be killed: they will conform, be grateful to be still living, and the system will thereby keep running: see the Soviet Union, where engineers sent to the gulag on nonsense charges worked as prisoners in their professional capacity, and then happily stayed on once their sentence was completed, to work as 'free' professionals (with better living conditions).
We are going to replace you all with robots and AI, and kill you, is just a distraction from what they really plan.
Sure. But notice the soviet union is not around any longer. It collapsed under the weight of its own incompetence and growing resistance to the unlivable conditions created thereby. Because filtering for other-than-competence as a primary focus puts downward pressure on competence over time. We're already deep into this cycle. Planes are literally falling out of the sky. And unlike the early-to-middle period of the soviet dystopia, we are destroying infrastructure faster than we're building it (even if in a stupid, inefficient way), and our population is shrinking.
This is why the boot on your neck forever is a hyperbolic call to action, not a prediction. It doesn't work.
Here, I think we're already halfway through. It'll get worse before it'll get better. But I'd put money on my kids living to see the other side of it, if not myself.
You are right on the mark, what exactly is the future going to be, what is going to happen to the USA and all of us with the evil direction the people and government have taken.
" In a war of them against us, even their own idiots say they'll lose.
They're asking for a fight we don't want and they can't win."
Really? Here's a scenario;
Disrupt the electrical grid to all areas west of the Mississippi river. Heavily control governmental assistance to all areas west of the Mississippi. Use the military to patrol the entire river to prevent squirters, using disease and crime as a pretext. Allow movement across the river based on loyalty and utility.
After 60 days, begin the assimilation of the few remaining, grateful citizens. 60 days should do it, and the remains of the population would not be your "better" people.
And the guys who botched every unnecessary war in the past 60 years, then botched the withdrawal; who can't keep track of their own budget; who desperately point fingers at everyone other than themselves every time things go wrong; who have overseen the intentional dismantling of the manufacturing, infrastructure, manpower, competence and morale that supports their own monopoly on force; the people who can't keep drugs out of prisons; the ones who are reduced to helpless whining about counter-narratives because they can't even produce good propaganda; the guys who have wrecked two nuclear submarines, billions of dollars worth of aircraft, and lost a nuclear warhead, among many other things, in just the past couple decades...
Those guys are going to be the ones to pull off this brilliant plan with no hitches, no resistance, and no just telling them to go fuck themselves?
Good luck with that.
WHY in the actual fuck are you posting this? You HAVE to be a gubbermint shill. Shame.
Or a lower middle class White voter. Once they got Trump in, he never mentioned them again, though he would routinely rave about Black and Hispanic job numbers.
Given the climate there are some things better left unsaid. I remember after GW Busch (Hurricane Katrina) and 8 years of the Boy King when Trump said “Build the Wall” I thought he was a goner. He has most definitely been a thorn in the media’s side as they have not been able to bully him. At the very least I am confident that DT doesn’t want to see this place wrecked.
If you want to let perfect be the enemy of the good or you want to fall for the “my vote doesn’t count” psyop knock yourself out. I will tell you that your vote does matter and that’s complete bullshit. In fact, that psyop is a big goddamn reason we are in this bucket of shit. To many people sat on their fat asses over the years bitching but not doing anything including voting. It allowed for the left to sneak in and become more entrenched.
Example: Take what is happening in North Carolina with the hurricane. That would NOT happen in Florida with DeSantis in there I can assure you 100%. That’s not to say he’s perfect but he’s a helluva lot better than what NC is dealing with.
We are much better served by people that call themselves conservatives. The further left a place seems to be the more fucked up it is. Conservatives and/or Repubs did help keep firearms in our hands FWIW.
Vote Constitution Party in the deeps where it doesn't matter as a way of building up the Party and chastising Trump and the Republicans for playing games with MAGA. Vote Trump in the swings to buy us some time.
Over the cliff is over the cliff. The Democrats at a screaming 120 mph. Trump at a staid 35. The speed limit! Mass "legal" immigration of non White, non-Christians.
Lugh, remember that elections today are won by small groups, by two or three states, by 10000 votes. Minorities are critical, the Dems found this out fifty years ago and have been working it since. Kudos to Trump to realize that getting more of these votes is critical to win.
Another positive that Trump is pointing out is when an economic ocean rises, all boats float higher, something the Dems forget about with their DEI politics.
We are headed into Karma is a Bi t Ch portion of the story
This. Exactly.
More like 225 years ago. The “moment” has been lost.
Yes seriously, the republic fell when when we abandoned defending the borders only with the Monroe doctrine, and with the rise of the centralized executive POTUS in Andrew Jackson (who ironically called himself a populist) and the rise of Wall St. and the cities crowding out the craftspeople and farmers in the economy. All of this took place between roughly 1820 to 1840, a fateful generation for America.
The question is how much of that independent spirit can we bring back after the empire falls?
You folks are all mentally ill. The US will go on. Things will not change that much.
Yes normality continues on until it doesn't.
I am sure a lot of people in Russia thought the Soviet Union would last forever. Guess what in some ways conditions are worse here than the USSR, the USSR really never had the anrcho tyranny of letting "protected groups" loot and riot, and shoplift without consequence. USSR may not have had good housing, but it didn't have the massive homeless problem the U.S. has. I say all this not as a defense of Soviet tyranny, but to show how bad the U.S. gotten heavily propagandized guy.
Yes, Gary is in denial. JHK wrote about America’s tendency to deny the existence of on-coming problems and what a problem that is. If the domestic issues are denied, and especially the foreign issues, history says there will ALWAYS be a reaction, mostly negative. BTW, Dem political philosophy is based on this, “everything is fine, no problem”, betting on the ambivalence of the American public and the resultant appearance of stupidity.
“What me worry” is a very adequate slogan for MAD magazine.
I have read Musk’s bio by Isaacson. He is driven by good intentions in all his endeavors. he has taken many major back-breaking risks to develop the companies he has done and works his butt off in everything he does. He developed tesla and all its subsidiaries because he believes that we are going to have to electrify as oil RINOs down, he does Space-X because he believes Mankind needs to not totally depend on Earth as their only home. He bought Twitter and fired 95% of its people because he hated their censorship that they practiced openly and obnoxiously. He wants a forum that is untouched by bias, which does not exist now. Since then, Zuck has even admitted that the government has encouraged censorship throughout social media, the government being the White House. Keep looking for evil agendas with Musk, you will not find it. Suggest you read his bio.
That’s kind of what my gut tells me about him too. Have seen enough evidence that supports it. Like Trump, Elon doesn’t seem hellbent on destroying the nation or the people in it. The same cannot be said about the ruling elites and Neoliberal govt.
my opinion. If the country shits on Musk, like the FAA is currently trying to do, Musk will go elsewhere with his money and talent. He is here because he believes in America's openness and freedom. Just think, we can trade Musk for Kamala, what a deal.
Neuralink?
His primary goal with Neuralink is to get spinal or stroke injured folks a way to bypass their injury.
BTW, he has stated that the uncontrolled advance of AI is more dangerous than nuclear war. All his work with AI has been under the guise of controlling its advancement. Unlike, Newsom who just vetoed a bill that was created to control AI.
Nothing wrong with Neuralink imo as long as we are told the truth about it. That’s the problem with those running things now. They have lied to us so much it’s impossible to believe anything. They could have our best interests at heart (they don’t lol) but no one would ever know. That being said, I guess they kind of had to lie to us. The shit that they’re wanting to pull on humanity most people would not be in favor of accepting.
I've got some "evil" for ya. He's South African. 'nuff said.
Not any more. Seriously, his memories of SA are not good, alot of mental abuse. However, IMHO, let the USA go socialistic under the Leftists, Musk will be out of here with a lot of company. He has invested billions in this country, he has lots left to start over somewhere else.
While I have great admiration for Elon Musk (who but the richest man in the world could get his 74-year-old mother placed on the cover of the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue), I think part of the price for throwing his support behind Trump is the hope and expectation he will get continued favored treatment for Tesla, even as more and more people decide they do not want an EV after all, and this in the name of environmental protection even as the environmental issues of producing battery metals are becoming more and more apparent- and while Spacex is a refreshing alternative to cost-overrun, bureaucratic NASA, the behemoths he is hurling into space are punching the biggest holes imaginable in the ozone layer, generating huge volumes of CO2, and contributing to the pollution of the waters around Boca Chica.
Two things, one, we have to electrify and it has nothing to do with climate change. The world is already starting to run out of oil, and JHK says no more affordable by 2100. Nuclear power plants, if that is the decision, take 30 years to build. Tesla is Musk’s attempt to get humanity off of oil, a good cause. We actually ned to conserve what we have left rather than burning it up in cars.
Two, the space-x claims are conjectures by federal agencies trying to shut him down, probably financed by the MIC and Boeing. The federal government hates private success and competence and will try to destroy it. I do not believe any of their claims. Try comparing what comes out of 3000 airplanes to one rocket, and those 3000 airplanes are in the air all the time. Like climate change, someone better prove something instead of blah-blah-blah.
Also, the internet companies do not like Star link and want it shut down, they will not compete well with it. I heard Trump today in Georgia saying they are trying to get Star link into the affected areas because the ground based infrastructure has been damaged.
Star link is active now in the South east, thank you Elon.
Twitter had been so heavily censored that it had become almost useless to the Deep State, as people were moving away from it in droves.
Now, under 'freedom and free-speech -loving' Musk, the 'nice' technocrat, they've all come back.
Rather clever.
And X is still censoring very important things, by the way.
Substack similarly has its uses for them: a safety valve, a way to influence thought - quite subtle. I hand it to them.
In his bio, Musk tried to open up X as a totally free wheeling operation with No censorship or AI guidance, It was called X blue. It was a total failure and was closed off in weeks because of the trolls and assholes that used it to air their crazy rotten opinions. Lots of porn and bad news language showed up. They are still working on this problem.
You will notice that really obnoxious posters on CFN are eventually dumped by JHK.
Oh absolutely. Substack is not to be trusted either. They cancel and ban you if they don't like what you have to say
Substack fosters, for the time being, the comforting illusion that a freedom-loving 'community' actually exists, and that it can change thing and even win.
Very convenient to the puppet masters.
It is as fake as Russell Brand's 'community', or 'tribe', as he likes to put it.
It will all go nowhere, and evaporate in the next stage of the imposition of the Tyranny.
Regardless of the outlet, there are some really evil people out there that love posting their evil in public. Who draws the line?
Each individual by blocking, muting or ignoring. Otherwise it's free speech and protected. Except of course for harassment and threats of violence, then off to court you go
While I heartily agree JHKs assessment of the political Left, I am not convinced that Donald Trump and his cohort will return lost Liberty to this benighted land. Trump is a fanatical supporter of Zionist-Israel and the MIC war machine. Donald Trump is the one who approved the COVID19 lockdown lunacy and payouts, last time Trump filled his Cabinet with the very Swamp creatures he railed against, HRC did not get charged with any of her many crimes, etc. etc. Of course, it's easy to vote against Harris / Walz and I like JD Vance but I do not think anything significant is going to change under another Trump presidency.
He won’t get it all right for sure and didn’t his first time, but I’d say he understands just how dire it is in 2024 vs when he first stepped into office in 2016.
Trump is unique among US politicians in that he can change. He is reachable by fact and by popular opinion. He is not anyone's captive, and I include Zionism among the supposed captors, which will find out they have been deluded by their arrogance into thinking they own him.
Popular opinion? I think you're right and that's really bad. The people are usually wrong about everything, simply believing the media. The Zionists own the media and they own Trump too. You can't take hundreds of millions and then not deliver. Not unless you control the military like Putin did. He pretended to be with the Oligarchs and then betrayed them. Alas Trump is no Putin.
You know, the big question is, How the hell did the Ult-left gain control of the information industry in the USA. And the universities and public education, Everything being taught to the public is Ult-Left. How exactly did that happen?
Jews. Hey you asked.
Ha. A question for you. If the Jews are so prevalent and powerful in the USA, why aren’t we Israel? Much better than Madagascar.
We will be. Israel will be overrun by Arab overpopulation, the Second Israel project in Ukraine/Khazaria by the Pale of Settlement grandkids will only win an influential patch on the Belt, not a whole, so the Americas- North, South, and Central- are being prepared. Note the depravity and despair of the natives, we're being buck-broken to the yoke.
Europe will be given to their Ishmaelite brothers with iewes as administrators, as were the Caliphates. Israel will likely remain as a rump of itself under Mizrahi rule, a Belt gateway statelet like Kosovo, but Eretz Ysrael will remain a dream. The Israelis will emigrate here in a third diaspora.
India and China are as equally fierce as ethnic competitors, and can't be blended into as easily as european and mestizo populations. Those Horses won't ride as well as we; China threw off her traces under Xi, and both have historic grievance against, HSBC opium and Mao in one case, the Sassoon Raj and Pakistan partition in the other.
Not for nothing was the UN headquartered at Rockefeller Center in NYC. But then, most don't realize that Nathan Rockefeller was the same ethnicity Keir Starmer is. NR wasn't French, just as KS isn't English.
With Emhoff in the US, Stein in Mexico, and the son of the Sephardi Castro in Canada, (and Sephardi Mayorkas bringing in the occupation troops), I'd say our rulers will consolidate, and soon, as they did in the land of milk and honey. You believe this to be the new Covenant nation, yes?
That's for sure. Putin is brilliant. Did you see his interview with Tucker?
Putin has three things going for him, guts, common sense and love of country.
Sorta like Trump. You understand that the Deep State hate Russia, Putin, because they hate their own country and Putin’s nationalism and patriotism for Russia. Trump America First, Putin Russia First.
I wish Trump was a Putin but it just ain't so. Trump is too easily conned by sycophants who flatter his vast ego. That's how deep state goons were able to worm their way into his first administration to sabotage his agenda, I have an essay about that too.

Please do take a moment to read my longer essays, as it's where I am able to express my worldview in a more polished and considered form.
You sparked something.
Do you think the aim of the socialists is to create a Uniparty oligarchy that formalizes the governmental process of doing nothing for years, just going to parties every week? Is that the aim of the Mob?
Well the Adelsons made a 100 million dollar down payment on owning him. Don't get me wrong I will probably vote for him to save the 1st and 2nd Amendment and to stop WWIII against Russia, but my expectations are pretty low and I think we could easily see a Jew instigated war against Iran that we will fight under Trump.
What do you think of the Constitution Party?
Current "Constitutional" Party Randall Terry is a piece of shit that should be boiled in oil.
Good question, I always found Chuck Baldwin to be a reasonable man. OTH, our rigged two party system means they are unlikely to win above the county level.
Disagree, Israel and Iran will never fight each other directly. Like the USA, the Iranians are content to let proxies fight their wars for them. Israel is about to destroy both of those two groups actually three with Yemen. Iran is a bipolar society like the USA, 50% of Iran is secular and would like nothing better than to get rid of the Fundamentalists. The Ayatollah has to be careful not to get too cute relative to Israel, or he will get his ass handed to him. Just look around, who will support Iran in the Middle East.
Meh Israel has been trying to get us to fight a war against Iran on their behalf since the Bush I era, if not since 1967. This kind of thing is why I am now an "anti-Semite," not that all Jews are bad people, many like JHK are intelligent and well intentioned, but their tribalism of placing being Jewish above being American and using AIPAC to buy our pols, has had very bad consequences.
The US gets nothing in return for the economic and military support that it provides to the ethno-supremacist apartheid nation of Israel. In fact, the U.S. suffers internationally on account of its close relationship with Israel Because of its constant vetoing of UN Resolutions intended to punish Israel for its human rights violations.
There is no alliance, and Israel is not our ally. Its government does not behave as an ally does, it has never fought alongside US forces in any of our foreign wars. Its interests are not aligned with ours as an ally’s should be. There is no formal treaty and no binding obligations that require our governments to do anything for the other.
Pundits always grossly exaggerates the extent of the ties between our governments. Israel is routinely called our “most important ally” in the region, or even our “most cherished ally” in all the world. These are ideological assertions that are not grounded in reality. Dozens of other states all over the world are better allies to the United States than the “most cherished ally” is. And they don’t preside over an illegal occupation and decades of abuses and crimes against the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Now being ethnically cleansed in a genocide with US supplied bombs dropped on refugee camps and hospitals.
The effect of this constant repetition is to make the US/Israel relationship to be extremely important to U.S. interests when it is not. It promotes an illusion of a common interest where no real common interest exists ~ and has now suckered the US into being complicit in a genocide.
The US taxpayers are having billions of their taxes stolen and given to apartheid Israel. Americans do not have Universal healthcare. But pay for Israel to have Universal healthcare. And the US is $35-trillion in Debt. The US and Israel have made themselves pariahs in the eyes of the World. This is not going to end well for the US or Israel. The US will survive. The same cannot be said for Israel.
Wow, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. What a poseur! Iran and Israel were on friendly terms in 1967. It wasn’t until the Ayatollah took over in ‘79 that Iran turned against Israel with all the fervor of the madman lying, blaspheming, usurper Muhammad. And the first country he attacked was the US. Like Harry Truman said during his campaign speeches of ‘48, “How many times does someone have to hit you upside the head before you know who’s hitting you?!”
No country can ever truly be on "friendly terms" with Israel. They don't recognize silly notions like loyalty or friendship.
I think I’m ready to listen to Bob Dylan’s Neighborhood Bully for some peace.
Shut up Jew.
Why, if he is not a complete puppet did he meet last week with Zelensky who basically told him to FO when as President he was urging prosecution of those who had helped stuff Biden's son with cash in Ukraine? If Zelensky's getting to stand up in front of Congress any time he wants (and get wild applause such as never seen since Stalin's days) It seems as likely Zelensky said,, "BTW, Donald, I'll be needing longer range missiles and improved drones," and Trump probably said, "I'll see what can do for you." This, after all is the man who hung Andrew Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office(a man who balanced i8 straight budgets and left the U.S. $0.00 in debt when he left office), promised to balance the budget himself... and then signed off on- did. not once veto- four consecutive TRILLION dollar deficit budgets.
Get this, Trump will never veto a budget. Budget balancers or debt hawks are folks, there is no way the USA can ever balance its budget again. Trump knows this and will not burn political capital trying to fight this FACT.
IMO, if we could even think about it, and started reducing spending now, it will take a hundred years to accomplish anything. We do not have a hundred years before the SHTF!!!!
All the bullshit we hear every six months about increasing the debt limit is just that bullshit. The government will never be shut down. It can’t.
IF he gets a co-operative congress for the first two years, he will rip the guts out of Biden’s fiasco of a presidency. The Leftist drift will take decades to undo, so the long term “cure” for America will only be accomplished by the follow-ons to Trump, think Tulsi, (the first female president?), Vance, RFK,Jr.. Musk would be excellent but does no qualify, being South African The first day, half of Biden’s stupidity. Will be gone as his ridiculous EOs will be voided. That will be a day to cheer. Very quickly, the military will be put on the border to stop the invasion and Army engineers will finish the wall. Then all the technical aids will be installed and the number of border patrol and all the legalistic such as immigration judges will be reduced. A new immigration structure will be installed to determine yearly needs for immigrants and they will be controlled at ports of entry. The criminal elements will not have free access to Un patrolled border points as they have. The Ult-Left will go nuts as their drug flow will be drastically cut down. People will stop coming here when the criminal opportunity no longer presents itself.
Yearly need for immigrants? Wow, as if we don't have enough cheap labor for generations already. You didn't mention the mass deportation. I don't believe it either.
He actually has said that the Mass Deportations will be the criminals, 15000 announced today, first and the illegal crossers second.
Lugh, a You Tube report has surfaced that says that 7.5 million young adult males in this country are firmly on the federal tit, not even looking for a job, not even included on the unemployment report. The immigrants are motivated to work and they are taking the “dirty” physical jobs because Americans won’t. Thank you Deep State and Covid for the change. BTW, our discussion on the changes due to the “Williamsburg conversion” in the future. Lots of those 7.5 million are going to starve as they will not work.
I say the first two years as sitting presidents typically get hit on the congressional election on the off-year. If Trump proves himself, and things get better, the off-years election goes his way, we might have a chance of throwing off the Leftist yoke choking the country.
There are too many minions and indoctrinated people that literally infest government at all levels, even down to the county clerks, to ever fully throw off the marxist yolk. The best we could hope for is a muzzling like that of a rabid dog.
Agreed.
Remember that is God’s plan, in his surveillance of Mankind, He may have had enough of this evil country and is off creating a new world order.
If God is willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
If he is able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
If he is both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
If he is neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Yes, the same could be asked of a parent teaching their child to ride a bike. I enjoy the logic, but it misses the point that life is a school. The parent could plan to avoid giving the child pain, but then the child would never learn to ride a bike. Or do much of anything else.
What are we going to do with you Denny?
Easy, when He created man in his image, he gave humans the ability to reason, to be able to tell right from wrong. That is a waste of effort if man did not have free choice. So-o-o, God gave man free choice, to choose between good and evil and promised to not interfere with man’s choosing.
A much better question to ask might be: where did evil come from? Did God create evil? Or is there a second power equal to God?
While I will probably vote for him as a "lesser evil," your fan boism is nothing but a mirror of shitlib fan boism, stop worshipping corrupt venal pols. How hard is that?
Read my posts please, I hate the Deep State, the federal government as it now is.
Remember “Government of the people, by the people and for the people”?
Now it has become People of the government, by the government and for the government. It is the government at federal level that has destroyed the basic goodness of America and its promise to be the Light on the hill. The world has noticed. My definition of any politician is that they are failures at everything else they tried and are motivated solely by power. I do not believe Trump fits that description. He had more power as a New York developer than as president and he certainly has not been a failure in that rotten NYC environment.
Actually he failed us a lot in the 1st term he kept on Faucci and rushed the vax through, didn’t build the wall and cozied up to the genocidal maniacs in Israel, and didn’t drain the swamp. He also didn’t pardon the J6 protestors, leaving them out to dry.
In fact he basically kept none of his campaign promises. Is he better than the overtly evil empty vessel Kamala? Yes, but that is a low bar and nothing to get excited about. Being a fan boi of a pol is a low info fool move, do better.
Trump didn't jail Hillary, either. I was counting on that.
He couldn't legally free them till they were charged or indicted or some other legality. By then he was out of office.
