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.

    Thanks for the link Jeff, but it seems Phil isn't free to write about our own Deep State in the NY Times. He writes, "In both countries real democracy has been the first victim. Both Turkey and Egypt are now ruled by autocrats who have among their first steps eliminated an independent press and freedom of speech."

    But is there "an independent press and freedom of speech" anywhere? Not here, for sure, with Zionists controlling the prevailing narrative. An informed electorate being essential for real democracy, where does that leave our propagandized population (what Rurik calls "dumbed down" - which may be more accurate because we're not only misinformed, we're continually distracted with trivia and debauchery).

    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.

    Strangely enough, this scene reenacted the death of Timothy Treadwell and his female companion in Alaska where they were mauled by a grizzly bear, as seen in Herzog's movie "Grizzly Man". There too, the wild predator first killed the male and apparently, after having eaten part of him, left the body whilst hiding a little ways away. The woman, thinking the danger had passed, ran out to assist Treadwell and was in turn attacked and eaten by the bear.

    Is there a broader lesson to be learned here? Could it be that SJW's are afraid of things that are just part of life? Using the bear or neanderthal man as metaphors for that which is elemental, unconquerable, ineradicable in our experience, then it may be that someone complaining about these types of events and things is just railing against the limitations inherent in the human condition i.e. pain, death, the threat of meaninglessness etc.

    Behind their fears lies a deeper anxiety that can't be legislated away because it's just part of the human condition. That's why their efforts to extirpate the source of their discomfort come across as so totalitarian. To comply with their demands means altering environmental circumstances so as to make the world completely tame and non-threatening, which is another way of saying complete dominance of all contingencies, which implies total control.

    At least made it a little sense to fear monger about the Russians when they were Communists and controlled the Eastern Bloc, and, at least on paper, were committed to taking over other territories for Communism. But what is the fear here?

    I mean, is it really anything more than that the Russians won't support gay marriage? Are they conspiring to make American gays feel rather bad about themselves, because someone somewhere doesn't entirely approve of them, and that's very hurtful of the Russians?

    Despite useful details in the recent spate of 'leaks', Ilana Mercer has been quite fooled by a CIA-Mossad intelligence operation with her praise for "Wonderful Wikileaks", Julian Assange & Edward Snowden (& Glenn Greenwald too), who are in fact CIA & Mossad hoaxers & fakers, every major government knows this, V. Putin hints at it too ... As has been appearing on Daily Bell & ZeroHedge, & long publicised via Veterans Today

    Years ago, both Zbigniew Brzezinski & Benjamin Netanyahu, both blurted out that 'Wikileaks' were 'selected' by US-Israeli intel agencies & have quite been Israel-protecting ... The pro-Trump 'leaks' of Assange this year, are part of a package to prop up Assange's crumbling credibility

    It seems Assange is not even 'living at the London Ecuador embassy' as claimed, but rather moved in & out by UK intel, with Assange just there for photos & meetings

    The report at Europe's intel agencies devastating the Snowden - Greenwald frauds & also touching on Assange, is online:
    http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/09/21/russia-govt-report-snowden-greenwald-are-cia-frauds/

    Amongst items to note:
    - Laughably, the official story is that Snowden first 'leaked' to Dick Cheney's friend & biographer at the Washington Post, anti-9-11-truth Bart Gellman ... no real 'dissident' would 'leak' to Dick Cheney's friend at a flagship CIA newspaper
    - Ex-gay-p-rnographer & Rothschild & Bill Gates employee Greenwald, received US $50 million from CIA-tied billionaire & war criminal of Ukraine Pierre Omidyar, who is certainly NOT interested in real 'dissidents' ... and one can see Greenwald produces very little with his $50 million 'brave great journalism' operation at 'The Intercept'
    - Snowden, Assange, & Greenwald are all anti-9-11-truth
    - Assange has had Rothschild lawyers & Snowden & family CIA-tied lawyers, who never represent real dissidents
    - Snowden's revelations were not 'new', just more details on what was fairly fully on 'conspiracy' websites from 5+ previous NSA whistle-blowers & even in a 2008 book
    - Snowden & Assange were both creations pumped by CIA newspapers New York Times & UK Guardian, who both have criminal charge complaints against them in Europe, for taking bribes to engage in libellous attacks & defamations against real US dissidents
    - Snowden & Assange have likely helped identify, silence, maybe even murder real dissidents, who were duped into contacting NY Times / UK Guardian / the oily Greenwald
    - And much more at the link above

    There is zero legitimacy to Snowden, Assange or Greenwald ... Very funny that people trust 'dissidents' who were all served up by the CIA's own media conduits as 'limited hang-out' Trojan horses to deflect from & de-legitimise more important truths

    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.

    Terrific point, Jeff A.

    Today I read Richard Cohen's column "LBJ haunts Trump" published January 16, 2017, in The Washington Post. In the column, he stated that "an air of legitimacy clung to him (LBJ) like an odor." ( Eleven years old during that awful day in Dallas, I could smell it)

    Regarding our era's Corporate Media and its clever admiration & manipulation of Fake News, the following is what Richard Cohen wrote about the shady dealing Texan: " (the odor) thickened as opposition to the Vietnam War became more and more furious and it peaked, in my estimation with a HOAX (1967) by Paul Krassner in the counterculture magazine "The Realist." Tongue in cheek, it reported that LBJ had climbed into Kennedy's casket and there did unspeakable things (necrophilia). The story was abominable, tasteless and destroyed any other insult you could throw at it , but some people believed it. I know. I heard it."

    A secular Jewish Yuppie at the time, Paul Krassner wrote his "abominable" article, titled "The Part That Were Left Out" in reaction to William Manchester's approved biography of JFK. With a higher purpose in mind, Krassner believed "the satire broke through the notion that war in Vietnam was being fought by SANE men." Below is Truthmove.org (Forum) "information" which posits that members of the late-1960s press actually believed Krassner's story... and allegedly, so did Daniel Ellsberg!

Probably the high purchase cost is in part due to low volume production - a very basic fridge that would cost $500 as an electric unit goes for $1,500 as a gas unit:

    The current hysteria (and that is exactly what it is - hysteria is derived from the Greek word for "uterus") has everything to do with Trump and nothing to do with the Id vs. Superego per se. The reason so many prominent men are being implicated is that "pussy grabbing" is EXACTLY what most (if not all) high-T, alpha males do and have done since we were silver back gorillas. And women have never complained about this, in fact they encourage it and when they are at their most fertile they do everything they can to attract the attention of the alpha.

    In the past, when prominent men were revealed to be pussy grabbers, their treatment by the Left was completely dependent on whether the men did or did not have the right set of Leftist beliefs. If they were not Leftist, then any pussy grabbing behavior was said to make them "hypocrites" - publicly they espoused bible thumping, privately they pursued 14 year old girls. And so they had to go on grounds of hypocrisy (since Biblical morality itself no longer exists - it's no problem if men lie with men, etc.).

    But, if their beliefs were in line with the Left, they were immune. Some feminists said of Bill Clinton that they would themselves be willing to pleasure him it that is what it took to keep someone of his correct belief system in office. Harvey Weinstein was widely known to be a pussy grabber but his political contributions and correct beliefs gave him immunity up until recently. Even at the moment when his bubble burst, his first statement was that he was going to devote himself to hunting down fascists so everyone please back off and let me continue working for the Cause.

    AND the fact that the men in question were no longer peak alphas and that the women who are attacking them are also past their own sell-by dates, was not an issue. Bill Clinton doddered around the Hillary campaign and was seen (sometimes) by her side and it was no problem. The only reason he did not feature even more prominently was due to Hillary's ego and not because he was a persona non-grata pussy grabber.

    So what has changed - first of all, it is no longer necessary to protect the Clintons. But more importantly, Trump is still in office. He appeared to have gotten away with his pussy grabbing despite not being a Leftist. The Russia thing appears not to be a sure bet - maybe they will get close to Trump and take down Jr. or Kushner, but the man himself will probably be unreachable. Trump himself had not done anything new to put pussy grabbing back in the news, so it was necessary to start a fire elsewhere, even if elsewhere meant throwing a few of your icons into the fire. That these were somewhat over the hill icons made them expendable anyway so it was not so much a bug but a feature.

    Here's the truth of the American Revolution:

    Population 13 Colonies: Approx 2.5 million

    Population Great Britain: Approx 8 million

    By the 1770s, the 13 Colonies were too large for Parliament to "Big-Foot." Some kind of solution had to be reached: independence, dominion status ( avant la lettre), or representation in London (cf Benjamin Franklin's notions about some kind of Imperial Parliament).

    Washington would have been happy to claim it for the crown were a General Washington or a Chancellor Washington a possibility. That possibility being foreclosed by short-sighted prejudice, he chose instead revolution/founding a nation of his own.

  • @Mefobills

    Yes, libertarians ought to oppose tax increases, which is what tariffs are. We hold that voluntary exchanges are by definition advantageous to their participants.
     
    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..


    Contra the Keynesians who control the economy
     
    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.

Sure teachers make a difference, but they are small in number compared to the students. It is the students who overwhelmingly determine the quality of a school.

    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.

    I feel most people (in Russia) will now support team England for the semi-finals, so I wonder if there could be some slight feeling "home team advantage" atmosphere developing for England in the match by Wednesday.

    Of all teams entering the World Cup, the most expensive teams (in player valuations) were England (1), France (2), and team Belgium were also not so far below (5).

    So at least in this World Cup, the free-market of player valuations has been maybe one of the most accurate predictor of reaching semi-finals.

    Russia has achieved as I imagined before - reaching about quarter-finals with emotional support of being World Cup home team. Penalty shootout is a lottery - lucky against Spain, and bad luck now. (Not sure we can call this emotional rollercoaster "entertaining").

    Hopefully there will now be some restructuring of the football culture, preferably studying the Belgium youth model which has produced many players with skill.

    In other words, Ashkenazi Jews are about 53% European and 47% Middle Eastern by ancestry.
     
    Remember, kids: Scandinavians, the Irish, Spaniards, Russians, Balts, Italians and Scots are genetically and culturally similar enough that they should be thought of as a unitary race who naturally treat each other as members of the in-group. Indeed, according to various luminaries, ranging from Dr. David Duke* to Richard Spencer to Andrew Anglin, Alawite Syrians and Shia Persians should be included in this Aryan in-group.

    But Ashkenazic Jews? Pshaw! They're a totally separate Semitic/Mongoloid/Demonic race that has absolutely nothing in common whatsoever with Aryans, which is why they don't intermarry with them, because they're Jewish supremacists who look down on the filthy goyim. (Oh, wait, a supermajority of diaspora Jews do marry the Gentiles that they allegedly look at as a separate and inferior race? Uh...let me get back to you on that....oh ok, Kevin MacDonald reassures me that this is actually part of a devious plot to appear as if they're not actually practicing a group evolutionary strategy by seeming to not do so. Nice try, Jews!)

    To drop the sarcasm for a bit: to be clear, I emphatically think that the best interests of Jews lie in identifying with other peoples of European descent, and perhaps even with East Asians in a global Ice People bloc. And furthermore that, in the absence of criticism, many Jews have adopted foolish notions about their/our history and some have attempted to join the Flight From White. (Rather unsuccessfully it seems, judging by how ardent anti-Zionists are about identifying Ashkenazic Jews as white and Israel as a racist/white supremacist state, and how New York lawyer Aaron Schlossberg was the first person to be the target of this new media phenomenon of Smite the Random White.) But some white nationalists ludicrously exaggerate the differences between Jews and the manifold other European and part-European groups that they casually allow under the whiteness umbrella.

    In a quasi sport that is primarily of interest to white men, F1 has rocketed to unimaginable technical heights. F1 proves that immigration is unnecessary if you want peak civilization. The British men and maybe ladies, who design and manufacture Mercedes F1 engines have reached 50% thermal efficiency in their modern F1 engines. This is staggering. Every few years the rules keep getting more strict but the engineering in the sport reaches higher levels. American Gene Haas who makes advanced machine tools and started an F1 team said that he simply cannot believe the level of technology (and he is buying everything not running a true team). The aerodynamics in F1 must surely be the most advanced in the entire world (google F1 front wing). This is all done with nearly 100% native populations or with mixed white populations and only a small fraction of non-European stock. Many of these teams are surely well beyond companies like SpaceX in terms of pushing the envelope. Where are the Julie Ioffe's on F1 and Le Mans prototype racing: activities that interested men who love both physics and sport; i.e smart dudes? Red Bull and Aston Martin are building a road car that will have 1,000 hp and weigh 2,000 pounds and corner at 3.5gs. Surely they are zero Congolese in this monumental tribute to physics; maybe a MENA, but few. These are all fun activities that meld adventure and tech. Ioffe says the world is better because the lowest barrier to entry game is dominated by the immigrant stock. What does it say then when zero of the target immigrants are found in F1?

    Fair enough, Serg, Jeez. But 'beating' our elites means those crazy fuckers will nuke the world before they relinquish. This will be slow, like the transition between the Soviets and Putin. My elites suck cock. And they corrupted Gorbachev, Yeltsin which led to the demise of your "deplorables" by the millions just like ours, yours with booze and despair, ours with Chinese-supplied Fentanyl. They hate our White men even more than yours, trust me. Your 'deplorables were just like ours later, which are the guys that only worked their asses all their lives to see the elites run off with all of it. Putin stopped that there, we'd hoped Trump would stop it here, to no avail so far, our elites are stronger. Putin, however, threw a lot of his elites in jail, the oligarchs. He stopped the bleed. Jury is out whether our crooked elites will pay. ADL and SPLC put more into the election of 2016 than anyone, and THAT was foreign influence. Thinking people and grown-ass men see Putin as more a friend than Hillary, Obama, or Bill Clinton. We here are flat out of heroes, Serg. NFL and NBA and their African American ballet dancers don't count.

    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! Build the New Silk Road! Supply Europe with gas, the US could supply gasoline, lube oil, we could harness refineries to produce product from shitty Iranian oil and sell it back into terminals on The Road. Airbus could sell us more airliners because no one will ever fly on a Maxx, but if Boeing got their shit together, maybe a NEW 747 or some such. The US could have a shared connection from the Med to China, sharing our products, buying shit from everywhere, but through the road, injecting gasoline, lube oils, finished product, cars, cigarettes, clothes, we have lots of things people want and the road could be a conduit for the entire world including clean coal, throughout The Road There's plenty for everyone! We could all be rich in our trading! My Gawd, what we could all do together, the things we could make, the space travel we could devise, our engineers and yours, the Germans, Brits, (Fuck the French until they're solidly on board with Nordstream). Man, I hate to think the last White folks, yours and ours, have to fight one last war and destroy everything first. Because, Honey Babe, if our people finish off the last of us, the Barbarians win. Imagine their joy.

    We can do better. And hope Putin is grooming a successor to stand up like he has. Peace, brothah! The A6 with bombs was a joke, 'Bombing' means a comedic act has failed. I was kidding, like Andrei. Remember always with me and most American's, honestly, I'm ugly, but I do mean well.

    I have a theory about the reason that the Chinese have treated a non disaster as a disaster, have impounded their people, stopped export, trade and denied their business owners dealings outside of China and denied outsiders access inside of China.

    I think it possible that the Chinese may have decided to retrench their economy, to deny trade of Chinese made goods to the west maybe even to everyone not inside of China. Mind you this is a theory, but like all theories it has a hypothesis that needs to be disproved. My version of the hypothesis derives from the observation that China is preparing for war is as follows:

    Hypothesis: China will exploit its own economy, use only its own currency, ignore external import or export trade with the outside world, and deny outsiders entry into China.

    I have little doubt that there have been massive "irregularities", particularly in the so-called battleground states, that are at play in "stealing" the election.
    That said, it is important to understand the weasel words used by the media. Think back to Bill Clinton's blowjob. In strict terms, he "did not have sexual intercourse with that woman." Blowjobs are neither sexual intercourse, nor "sex" they were unnatural acts/sodomy.
    The favourite phrase these days is "no evidence of wide spread voter fraud". Let's break that down. Only 6 states have been challenged for vote fraud. In the big scheme of things, 6 states is not wide spread, even if there is massive vote fraud within those 6 states. That the vote fraud is not widespread, implies that some vote fraud is acceptable, and that the listener should ignore it. Last and most importantly, in the narrowest of legalistic terms, testimony or affidavits are not evidence. Testimony and affidavits become evidence when supported by physical evidence. An affidavit with a photograph demonstrating the statement would be evidence.
    Another phrase is something like "election officials say they have seen no evidence of voter fraud". I have yet to hear a reporter challenge the "seen no evidence of ..." part of the statement, regardless of the subject, by asking if the speaker had looked for any evidence. They won't, because they know damn well no one has.

    but the narrative promoted by Trump about a stolen election lacked substantial legal backing and was for the most part, a cope.
     
    This in the 3rd paragraph is the writer forming his premise for his essay.

    Since this premise is 100 percent false, his essay is false.

    No point at all in reading this nonsense.

    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.

    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.

    Wrt Biden climbing stairs, he did it successfully because he's done nothing but practice climbing stairs for the last three weeks.

    So Biden can spend the remainder of his presidency carrying out the duties of his office, or he can spend the time practicing his stair climbing, but he can't do both.

  • 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.

    This could have been titled "Escape from New York". Between the increase in violence from reduced policing, other policies of the Communist Mayor, the normal screwage from Albany, and, yes, that increase ability to work remotely, the big-money people are bailing.

    I see this where I live. Once you see a Dunkin' Donuts, beware. These people bring their stupid ideas with them.

    BTW, on the huge increase in lumber prices, one of the handymen working on the neighbor's house thinks that the lumber men are controlling the market. He doesn't think it'll stay this high, but you won't find those $.89 or $1.29 2x4's of the 1990s ever again.* There's a lot of inflation, which itself is part of this housing/building boom. People know what's a real asset.

    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.
