RSSThose two are the top of my do-not-read list, but Google news got nuttin’; casualties in Afghanistan, Oregon Shootings, the Pope, migrants, blah, etc. It’s like they don’t want to focus there, right now, until someone can get some talking-points circulating.
He really de-panced the lot of them, it would appear. We’ll have to wait for the Sunday talk-shows to tell us what to think.
I was hoping they’d do a mock debate with Larry David as Bernie Sanders, but since the writers obviously got nuttin’, they might as well go full Pynchon, and have an unscripted mock debate with Trump acting the Trump part and Sanders playing Larry David. I would hook up my vhs for that! or wait for it on utube, like many do. There has to be a tremendous backup of comedic material behind the PC dam; the stuff is coming down in buckets, but when that dam cracks, it’ll be like Katrina, only funnier, although it would be hard to top fat ladies rowing plastic tubs to the Superdome.
I don’t know if Trump can “do” anyone but himself, but I’d like to see the Trump character do the honeymooners with an east European Alicia, preferably in east Berlin, but 1950s Brooklyn would work. a Pollock joke works anywhere, ask the Borat character.
sorry to hijack your column, steve but its the probably the best place to stovepipe some ideas to hackdom.

Today's news tells of a proposal for increased US troop deployment to Eastern Europe to counter (non-existent) Russian aggression. This follows the completion of agreement to counter Iran's (non-existent) nuclear threat. Pundits continue to cite Assad's use of chemical weapons, long after that's been debunked. But they keep repeating it, and no doubt many believe it.

Great insight, musings. It works the other way, as well I think, right wing is most afraid of helplessness, but we know we’re not going to just run and scream. The bear might eat us but were going to (in our minds, at least) put at least five .44 hollow points into center mass first. This mindset, however unrealistic, is very calming. These chicks are afraid of everyday life, but its the primal fear of helplessness that makes them so wacky, dare I say hysterical.

None of the non-Trumps can beat Hillary, but whoever gets the nomination should flood the airwaves with the “Sick and Tired” video and meme:

This is probably going to come off as retarded, but I have been playing Destiny for hours almost every night for over a year and I can no longer stand any movies or TV. I hate the linearity – certain characters (why these particular handful of “stars”, mostly annoying [re- Hanks, above], doing certain things, usually for unclear or preposterous reasons, following popular conventions of plotting, action, dialogue, message, and generally based on previous films and stories while hinting at more of the same in future episodes.
Everything seems derivative and overdone. I want to at least have the illusion of control over the characters and story, even if I know it’s all programmed and not truely infinite. I want there to be interactive drama, and I don’t want to ever see Keanu or Morgan or Matt or Will Smith, etc. ever again, except maybe to blow them away with my fusion rifle and pulse grenades. Done with ” entertainment “. Movies are boring and TV is an overflowing toilet. I liked breaking bad though; the exception that proves the rule.

A sense of modesty and proper comportment may be keeping Ilana from stating the obvious. Since I have neither, I’ll go ahead and say it; Mercer for Sec. of State! Her African Grey would do a better job as Press Secretary than anyone in recent memory, so it’s a twofer, like Bill and Hill without the speaker fees!
Seriously, I seem to recall that she was an informal advisor to the last Ron Paul campaign and has a good outsider’s eye for the absurdities of the current political situation and actors; she knows the neocons cold and isn’t afraid to call them out. Donald needs to get her on the horn, stat.
Partial apologies for the SecState recommendation; it was given “tongue-in-cheek” as some say. I thought the parrot remark was telling, but I keep forgetting that the Internet doesn’t do irony very well. Entirely my fault.
Although I don’t know either woman at all, and certainly not their real motivations, I think your comparison to Ms Nudelman is very inapt, in fact, the two seem to be polar opposites; Mercer cares about justice, the Kagans obviously do not, in fact, it’s their greatest fear, soon to be realized, one hopes.
Trump is doing fine on his own, but the long and sharp knives will come out when he wins the nomination. My guess is he will need at least one clever writer/propagandist on board. Ron Paul tried to do it straight and true and got hosed for his efforts. The neocons need about 40 years wandering in the desert for worshiping the golden calf. It’s all in the book, people!
Nice catch! Pretty creepy “coincidence” if not an outright threat. I wonder what kind of “payback” this worm would say he meant besides that which just happened to take place. In any case, message received…

I think I found Trevor Lyman, the guy that did the money bombs for Ron Paul.
https://www.upwork.com/mobile/freelancers/~01f7fb0a5aaa83b164
I didn’t contact him because I know I lack the follow-through to develop and promote anything, but his contract rate of $25 per hour sounds pretty reasonable, especially if he owns the original code. Money bombs are very effective because they credit and bring the donor right into the process, but they can’t really be effective if done directly by the campaign, and if they are very successful they create their own publicity. Can you imagine collecting millions in small donations for a billionaire candidate, with no connection to the official campaign, especially if the GOP is seen to be dragging it’s feet?
I have a lot of ideas, but no moxie; I guess I’ll just send a few digits to the official site, win or lose. I certainly don’t regret the 99 electrobux I sent to the Unz campaign. Some windmills just need tilting!

The neocons, the Harvard boys, the CIA and soros hurt the Russians badly in the 90’s, and they would like to finish the job before Russia gets completely back on its feet, and they know time is tight, hence the desperation and panic to get Trump on side, neutralized, or eliminated. IMO, it is already too late, as Russia and china know what the deal is. The saker has a very good explanation of the scam up, by William Engdahl

Somebody help out an old guy, please. I was an avid reader of the original eXile, and the story of the ending made me a big Putin fan. I followed the eXiled until it imploded, and then… What? Did Omydar hire Ames just to put him on the shelf? I don’t see anything by Ames, Levine, Dolan or brecher after about nine months ago, except Ames is active on Twitter (which is somewhat surprising considering that he came up with the term “Twitter twats”, but whatevers). I did see a link to an interview with our Gustavo Arellano, (wth?)

Also check out the stock market at an all-time high. No coincidence.
The deficit is roughly one trillion per year. The budget of the MICC is roughly the same, and is almost entirely wasted, indeed damaging to America’s actual interests. If we weren’t borrowing the money to shower on the financial, defense and bogus “security” sectors of the economy, the remainder of equities (the real economy) would be a small fraction of what we have now, and the corporations would have to provide real services to voluntary consumers.
The entirety of the war on terror is to provide an excuse to lock taxpayers into permanent, involuntary debt servitude and divert resources to the financial elite, who either (to be charitable) don’t care about the resulting death and destruction, or more likely are quite pleased with it. The twin signatures of the neocon project are that the real goals are never stated, and all the expenses fall on someone else. Hillary summed it up nicely in her remarks about public and private truths; she spilled the Straussian beans. They are liars, thieves and murderers. God willing, Trump will Andrew Jackson their fat asses.
I always loved Jackie Mason (Rabbi Krustovsky), and was quite dismayed when he unfairly hung the anti-Semite rag on Ron Paul a few years back, but I’m glad to see him jumping on the dump-the-UN wagon now. Better late than never.

One benefit of growing up reading the Washington Post is a considerable skill in “reading between the lines”. A particular example is from when the Post dropped racial descriptions from its accounts; a body found by the side of the Suitland Parkway was described as wearing a blond wig, purple sweatshirt, and yellow pants, leaving it to the reader to do the math.

I really miss the eXile and even the eXiled. Maybe Ames simply burned out, but it seems that getting kicked out of Russia broke his spirit and Omydar bought them to put on his shelf like star wars figures in their unopened boxes. If you look hard you can still find them or their ghosts online but the synergy is missing. Sure they were leftists, but coherent and reasonable compared to the cucoobananas of the current year.

Nice to posit two guys with no record. In reality, this is rare. The purpose of police with respect to “youth” is to paper them, make them known to the system.

Tariffs = good when a nascent industry needs protection in order to take-off. Tariffs = bad when a nations industry are monopoly pricing. Low prices are the goal.Libertarian economic theorizing doesn't comport with actual history. Industrial Capitalism of Fredrick List in Germany, and Peshine Smith of America, both induced a dramatic increase in economic well being for their respective countries. Japan watched Germany and America closely and adopted industrial capitalism "External Tariffs low Internal Tariff" ideas,. Japan went from being a feudal economy to being an industrial economy in one generation..
Yes, libertarians ought to oppose tax increases, which is what tariffs are. We hold that voluntary exchanges are by definition advantageous to their participants.
Keynes understood defects of corporate banker credit/debt driven economies. Keynes even noted during WW2 that if private debts declined, that would be proof of efficacy of government stimulation. The great depression was due to private debt buildup during 20's, especially due to bank credit creation (upon new debts) funneling toward the stock market. In run up to war, and during the war, U.S. spent exogenous treasury money (created outside of the banking system) to fund new industry. This went on to pay wages, to then pay off private debts. This is how U.S. emerged from war with low private debt levels.So, it is a perversion of Keynsian theory to suggest he would have been for high debt levels, especially when he was concerned about reducing build up. Keynes main idea was to save money during heady economic times, and stimulate during depressions/recessions. Finance Capitalism (not List's Industrial Capitalism) business model is to make debt instruments in order to make profits. Finance Capitalists harvest industry, patents, land and other real assets with swaps in order to cancel debts formerly created from nothing. Swapping depressed real assets for debts is part of the magick of (( Finance Capitalism)) which is nothing more than a sophisticated usury system. Industrial Capitalism by contrast uses a countries own sovereign credit to build industry and improve its commons, making citizens more efficient. Libertarians are apologists for "free trade" when instead a real free market is one free from rents and unearned income. Oh the horrors, a government that intervenes to drive prices lower!To get rid of rentiers, usury, and to squash unearned income sometimes REQUIRES TARIFFS. Proper tariff application in turn require a government manned by people with economic IQ's of more than two digits. It is beyond question that a national economy like that of U.S., requires both national steel and aluminum producers.

I can’t find the cite, but I read in an early discussion of tariffs, c.1800, someone proposed that they were fine for revenue, and the proper level was up to the point where it started to restrict trade, and beyond would bring in less revenue. It impressed me when I read it as an early expression of (then famous) Laffer Curve.

I find the whole concept of magnet schools incoherant:
Are the physical plants, admistrations, faculties libraries, etc, significantly better than other public high schools in the same jurisdictions, or is it some kind of magic linoleum that makes them superior? Obviously not.
It is the quality of the students themselves that make the difference; the opportunity to study and learn with serious peers, without the slackers, bullies and other nose-pickers that make learning unnecessarily difficult for everyone.
Add in the boobs of whatever race, color or Creed, and you defeat the purpose entirely.
The solution would seem to be to filter these boobs out of the regular schools, and give the serious students of average abilities a fighting chance.
“These 100 M whites would have been about 1 billion whites today, and whites would have been a world majority today, had it not been for WW2.”
I’ve been trying to put a number on the dysgenic effect of regularly killing off huge numbers of our best young men, starting with the truely horrific slaughter in our own “civil” war, through WW1 and 2, estimating the number of generations of children never born, multiplied by average family sizes, and considering that the offspring of the survivers would be increasingly weighted against the traits we regard as positive (bravery, patriotism, selflessness, fitness, etc.)
I think we can generally see the results in our stock today, characterized in the term “soy boys”. Mental and physical problems seem historically high, so your estimate of one billion might even be low, but plausible; but as importantly, the quality of our people resulting from this systematic filtering seems undeniable e.g. compare the Wehrmact to today’s German army, where the effect of also murdering so many young women negates the possible benefits that would have accrued from their possession of these warrior genes.

Thanks for the link. I’ve been turning it over in my mind for some time, but there are a lot of variables (estimates of dead, especially civilians, average family sizes over time in many different societies, unpredictable results of population growth, persistence of genetic continuity through surviving females, and “unknown unknowns”). I think a smart and diligent researcher could come up with an reasonable number; that’s not me though, I can only speculate.
Saw some pictures of row upon row of graves on memorial day and thought each one represented a family that never started. The trend is positive since we entered the forever war, but could reverse massively at any time. Not optimistic…

Thanks for the reply. To be clear, I don’t believe any one group is responsible. Europeans, like everyone else, have been slaughtering each other with gusto throughout history, and the smart fraction have always taken advantage and encouraged this. The process is eugenic for them, to be sure. As for the Jews, I want us to have the same regard for our young people as investments and not commodities.

I didn’t know Jew from schmoo, and wish I still didn’t. They took me to the edge of the universe. Thanks, guys (and “Andre Norton”). I didn’t need any stinkin’ context.
Marijuana, ouch. Maybe that’s why I thought Steve was going to talk about Lou Grant. But then I realized I had Ed mixed up with the hefty bag guy/Richie Cunningham’s dad.
The seventys were awesome! If I recall correctly…
“Fact is, if the elites and corporate defense establishment of the US would become diplomatic, imagine the cooperation between us and Russia that could take place. Imagine the prosperity! Even the elites could share in it!”
Exactly so. This was the basis for my immediate initial support for Trump; his calling bullshit on the entire rationale behind the empire, and the potential benefits of a new detente. (Even if we were evil geni, it would make more sense to at least pretend to be non-threatening.) This is the root of the hostility to Trump, IMO.
Incidentally, this piece and it’s commentary is greatly supportive of Ron’s argument that heavy users should step up and financially support the UR. I haven’t seen this sort of thing anywhere else easily available on the web. I don’t comment much here (feeling somewhat too short for this ride 😬) but I do spend hours everyday, reading most of the articles and many comments. Would definitely donate.
Thanks, all!
Indeed. I would instinctively believe anything said by the Chinese communists over the new York Times, and the pronouncements of Cthulhu himself over the CFR/ FP. Not even kidding.
Thanks, Pepe, (and several commenters) for mentioning the Ft. Derrick shutdown. I’ve only seen it referenced by Lew Rockwell, and almost nothing on Google. Until I see a convincing explanation of the closure, it will be for me the smoking gun that the virus was produced and released, possibly accidentally, from there. The fact that the Anthrax scare originated from that facility, and that the likely culprit was allowed to escape while two patsies were hounded in his stead, as well as the memory-holing of that entire affair, lends further credence to my suspicion that there were serious long-standing security problems at the lab.
But those guys are our “duly-elected representatives”, so by definition (according to Corvinious), whatever they do is up and up legitimate.
Speaking of tests, can we audit all the congressmen to determine how they got to be multimillionaires on their only slightly more than average salaries?
David Cole at Taki’s nailed this down last year:
“that same weekend: Clint Eastwood’s Richard Jewell, a film tailor-made for the right. And even though Jewell was drubbed by leftist critics, you might be surprised to learn that it was also the subject of a boycott by conservatives. Yes, conservatives tried to sink a conservative-friendly film, and not for the first time this year. Back in August, a bunch of low-IQ Fox News ’tards bullied Universal into shelving a pro-“deplorables” action film called The Hunt because they misunderstood the trailer and failed to research the conservative bona fides of the producer. As a result, moron conservatives “canceled” one of the most ballsy pro-rightist films ever released by a studio.”

I have a bet with myself (but no wager; I don’t have anything that I’d want) –
When the Masters have their bailout, and the stock market recovers, we’ll see the same lack of attention, and a weighting-to-the-positive by the media that was apparent during Obama’s swine flu epidemic. We’ve been flim-flammed. Again.
Thanks, Ob, I agree: shutting down Ft. detrick last fall is just too suspicious. I’ll bet it’s been non-stop destruction of evidence ever since, against the very remote possibility that anyone would ever audit or investigate what was going on there.
Recall vividly the official who sent the Anthrax spores being allowed to flee to Israel while Hatfill was being scapegoated.
“Show’s over folks, nothing to see, move along…”
As a long-time Buchanan supporter, even working for one of his campaigns, I’m certainly sad to see him completely losing the thread, but here’s the deal for me; I don’t see Americans as my fellows. Approximately three quarters are socialists and/ or neocon saps hell-bent on destroying what’s left of our traditional way of life. Even if he’s right about Russia (he’s not), I see Russia, China, and Iran as the enemies of my enemies, doing right by patiently waiting for our “leaders” to finish their idiotic March through our institutions.

Excellent comment, but I'd quibble a bit with the part I quoted. Maybe it wouldn't have been possible anyway, but I don't think Trump made more than the feeblest of token efforts to pursue such policies. I want to think he's smart enough to have realized that action (beyond sending out those oh-so forceful tweets) was required. As an example of such actions, there would be firing cabinet secretaries and national-security apparatchiks until he'd found replacements who'd take direction. Assuming he was sufficiently smart, I'm left with an unhappier diagnosis than stupidity. The alternative is that he simply wasn't serious. Either way, no big loss.Replies: @Jeff Albertson

Better late than never, I suppose, but would have been nice about four years ago, along with firing all the US attorneys, ( like Clinton and Obama did). Would love to hear Phil’s take on this.
Trump clearing the deck for second term?
Biden bringing the CFR back (if they ever indeed went away) – guaranteed catastrophe.
Spot on about postal votes; it’s my only slight disagreement with Ron’s take on the affair.
These votes were being received for days, if not weeks before the deadline and could have been (and probably were) counted as they came in. The gross imbalance between Trump and Biden votes in these after-hours counts, along with the sudden spikes obvious on many graphs, is proof, imo, of the cheat. In order to get ahead of the narrative, the ‘rats said it would happen, and, lo, it did.
If the regime can’t provide for trustworthy elections, it can’t expect to be regarded as legitimate. Probably by design; they don’t need us.
I’ve always had a soft spot for n.o.i due to my (possibly erroneous) belief that what they were promoting was responsibility for black’s own prosperity was on themselves; solidarity, sobriety, self-control, industriousness. That the devil(s) had never and would never raise them up, and the implication that many of their own were dragging them down. Here, Farrakhan seems to be saying that goodwhites must act against the evilwhites in order for the blacks to finally thrive, i.e. the boilerplate NAACP view, that has never worked, and arguably, has been counter productive. In many ways they are worse off than before the civil Rights era.

And whom was he influencing? Who were his Twitter followers? And theirs? He was propagating jokes/falsehoods to people on the Right, yet the asshole prosecutors have the chutzpah to pretend this was a threat to left-wing voters -- since they're the only ones who matter.
One of his Twitter accounts, @Ricky_Vaughn99, had about 58,000 followers at the time it was suspended by Twitter in October 2016. he account was rated the 107th most influential with respect to the that year’s election, according to an analysis done by the MIT Media Lab — ahead of accounts belonging to former House speaker Newt Gingrich, “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert and NBC News, according to the criminal complaint.

Yeah, and then waiting 3-5 years to see how many keel over.

This is not a new idea; the excerable Cass Sunstein was advocating for pro-regime propaganda in 2008. I wonder why we haven’t been hearing much from the guy. Maybe ditching his wife for Samantha Power proved to be too much for even our most degenerate betters.
Wikispooks:
“Sunstein co-authored a now infamous 2008 paper, entitled “Conspiracy Theories” which tried to link questioning governments’ official narratives with violence, and suggested that “the best response [to “conspiracy theorists”] consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups”.[5] Various commentators have roundly criticized this intellectual stance.[6][7] who argue that it would violate prohibitions on government propaganda aimed at domestic citizens”
This in the 3rd paragraph is the writer forming his premise for his essay.
but the narrative promoted by Trump about a stolen election lacked substantial legal backing and was for the most part, a cope.
That was pretty much my reaction, but the rest of the essay was more nebulous than false. I’ve been concerned by so many variations on the idea that “we’ll be back in ’22 and ’24” but what if the (obviously) stolen election is not just a figment of Trump’s imagination? I’ve seen plenty of denials of fraud, but no widespread evidence that that it was all on the level. Are we to assume that it can’t or won’t reoccur? That the cheaters won’t, in fact, improve their methods and practices in the face of zero pushback or reform?
I’ve been trying to imagine how we can deal with the end of electoral integrity, including down-ballot elections. I believe tamed Republicans will be allowed to continue as fake opposition in order to maintain the illusion that we are not a one-party system.
Stark has some vague ideas, but my crystal ball is very cloudy. I see indistinct images of Putin and Pooh-bear…
The massive fraud of 2020 is making it clear that it's not even close to the first time: it's been going on for many previous elections, but the Trump wave of voting support broke their fraud model and forced them to reveal.
Are we to assume that it can’t or won’t reoccur?
Why put up with that at all? Aren't the solutions completely obvious? Paper ballots only, hand counted in front of the public just after poll closing, then results posted in front of the polling station and on the internet and local newspapers immediately, coupled by voter ID. If you have to show ID to buy liquor? You have to show ID to vote. And as far as mail-in ballots? Ban ballot harvesting and put every absentee ballot through a rigorous verification regimen that can be challenged by observers of every party, and then discarded immediately.If any impropriety is revealed in this process, the entire vote for that locale should be discarded and a new vote held. That, in my view, is the only way to reestablish voter integrity, and democracy in the United States.

Did anyone see the latest photo of Biden climbing the stairs to his plane, carrying his umbrella and briefcase and NOT using the handrail? Is he trying to show that he can do it. I’ve seen pics of someone holding the umbrella for the President in the rain. Can’t someone carry his briefcase, too? It appears that they’re literally setting him up for a fall.
Mustaches, bell-bottoms, jewfros, and disco went out of style. Gabe Kaplan got old…

I’m beginning to increasingly suspect that everything I think I know is wrong, but my distinct recollection is that Soleimani and Iran saved Assad’s bacon from the head-chopper’s ball and bought enough time for the Russians to finish them off (for which Trump claimed credit after many years of American ineffective foot-dragging against ISIS). Makes me very skeptical of Zarif’s claims and overall agenda.
Likely he was bought by the imperialists. One more.

I’ve noticed a strange situation locally, northern Virginia: I drive about twelve miles daily between Fairfax and Arlington and see about eight new construction sites, mostly teardowns and one development on the site of a previous church, that have the foundation walls poured but no framing. Not sure if the builders are waiting for lumber prices to come down or there is an actual shortage. Usually the demo, foundation, framing and roof are done quickly and in this hot market it makes sense to build quickly and move on. I’m leaning towards an actual shortage, imo purposeful to keep prices high.
I saw that they just doubled tariffs on Canadian lumber, which makes no sense if there is an actual shortage. Conclusion – fukkahs once again triumph over fukkees.
