    3) Funding those endless wars, throwing billions at that poisonous dwarf Zelensky and his proxy war, funding Apartheid Israel and its ongoing slaughter of Palestinians.

    That's why no Socialist, no advocate of Centralised Authoritarian control through Big Gubmint has ever had a nice word to say for the Gold Standard.
    And by so doing they're aiding and abetting the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel (aka ZOG) - either wittingly or unwittingly.

    The core of ZOG's power is their ability to print/digitally conjure endless amounts of fiat currency through its ownership of the U.S Federal Reserve, which they dole out to themselves or their Talmudic cronies.
    Ending the Fed and simultaneously returning to a Gold Standard would result in ZOG withering on the vine. But the Socialists will never tell you that.

    This is proof that they're either knowingly in cahoots with ZOG (like these Marxist morons Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff - who constantly smear the Gold Standard), or they're just garden variety dupes.

    There is no question that the left leaning systems always end in misery and impoverishment (if not mass murder).
    You see, Communism and Socialism (and Fascism to a lesser degree), depend on an All Powerful Centralised Authoritarian Big Gubmint.
    They depend on COERCION, on threats and intimidation if the citizens don't go along with the agenda of the faceless bureaucrats.
    That's why they're doomed to fail. Gubmint grows and grows like a fast metastasising cancer, and soon chokes off the productive wealth creating private sector under Fascism.
    (Under Communism/Socialism there is no private sector to begin with - so nations subjected to that system die off faster).

    Meanwhile Brad, some people claim they want Socialism as it exists in the Scandinavian countries.
    But the reality is they are NOT Socialist - because the private sector owns the overwhelming bulk of the means of production in those nations.
    What they are is Cradle to Grave welfare states (ie: medicare for all and other benefits).
    But, as the 5 min video below will demonstrate, those benefits don't come cheap. They are paid largely through crushing taxes on the lower and middle classes, and not so much by big business:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lxD-gikpMs
    Libertarianism and Capitalism are, at least from an economic standpoint, essentially the same thing.
    After all, libertarianism is all about unfettered Free Market Capitalism.
    Capitalism/libertarianism are the only ideologies that are self sustaining.
    They are based on VOLUNTARY EXCHANGE and FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
    In other words, properly monitored so that no (or minimal) corruption infests it, Capitalism can continue delivering prosperity in perpetuity.

    But, as a wise man once said: 'The price of freedom is eternal vigilance'.
    And the near perfect system the Founding Fathers endowed America with, has been corrupted.
    The U.S is where it is today because there is NO Capitalism of substance being practised in the big end of town. The U.S today is a Socialist shit-hole.

    What he had planned was that Penguin Books should withdraw Lipstadt's book (which had only sold a couple thousand copies) from circulation, putting himself in the role of the censor and making Lipstadt the champion of a free press. It was dumb all around. As an independent publisher he could have remained successful even Penguin chose to never publish him again. A smart salesman would have turned Lipstadt's book into a marketing gimmick for his own books in a way that would have got lots of new readers interested.

    I write: “David Irving had never planned to contest the so-called Holocaust at his trial” and you respond: “What he had planned was that Penguin Books should withdraw Lipstadt’s book (which had only sold a couple thousand copies) from circulation, putting himself in the role of the censor and making Lipstadt the champion of a free press.”

    My response: I doubt if this was David Irving’s motive. Do you have any evidence that Irving ever said this was his motive?

    David Irving in his opening address at the trial claimed that his career had been torpedoed by the defendants. Irving said: “By virtue of the activities of the Defendants, in particular of the second Defendant, and of those who funded her and guided her hand, I have since 1996 seen one fearful publisher after another falling away from me, declining to reprint my works, refusing to accept new commissions and turning their back on me when I approach.” Irving claimed this had been done as “part of an organized international endeavor.” (Source: Lipstadt, Deborah E., History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving, New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc., 2005, p. 80).

    As I stated in a previous comment regarding David Irving, the harassment campaign against him continued after he lost his libel suit. For example, Irving spent over a year in jail in Austria from 2005-2006 for publicly expressing his views on the so-called Holocaust. Publishers and bookstore owners are still afraid to publish and sell his books for fear of the backlash from Jewish organizations. Of course, some people will still call you an anti-Semite for mentioning these facts; they claim that Jewish groups and organizations could not possibly have such power. Unfortunately, as David Irving made clear in his lawsuit, Jewish groups and organizations do have such power.

    Critics of David Irving sometimes emphasize that Irving’s libel suit against Deborah Lipstadt put Lipstadt in great financial peril. However, Deborah Lipstadt’s book History on Trial reveals how easy it was for her to raise money for her defense.

    The president of Emory University and the Board of Trustees allocated $25,000 for Deborah Lipstadt’s defense. Leslie Wexner, a wealthy Jewish retailer, told Deborah Lipstadt that he would give whatever it takes for her defense. Wexner’s only prerequisite was that Lipstadt must hire the best defense counsel possible. Wexner committed $200,000 to Lipstadt’s defense after determining she was hiring top-notch attorneys who would mount an aggressive defense. (Source: Lipstadt, Deborah E., History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving, New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc., 2005, p. 38).

    Deborah Lipstadt writes that a massive outpouring of funds was contributed by wealthy Jewish donors:

    “Soon a collaboration developed between Wexner and Steven Spielberg, whose own Shoah Foundation was deeply engaged in taking survivors’ testimonies. This collaboration resulted in the effective solicitation of a number of $100,000 dollar contributors. Bill Lowenberg, a survivor who lived in San Francisco, whose daughter—a participant in the Wexner programs—had briefed him on the case, called [Rabbi Herbert] Friedman. He said he would raise 20% of the costs and began to contact members of the Bay Area Jewish community. Ernie Michel, a survivor who lived in New York, took out his Rolodex and began to call other survivors. Other people pitched in to help. All of this was done quietly and without any publicity or fanfare…” (Source: Ibid.).

    Lipstadt writes that Friedman asked David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), to house a defense fund. The committee’s board agreed and then voted to make a major contribution to the fund. The Anti-Defamation League and the Simon Wiesenthal Center stepped forward to contribute. The AJC’s Harris assigned Ken Stern—the organization’s specialist on antisemitism and extremism—to assist me in any way he could. Ken, a lawyer, immediately established contact with Anthony and James. In an unprecedented display of organizational restraint, none of these organizations publicized what they were doing. Within weeks other contributions began to arrive. One person quietly called another. Some of the donations were substantial; many were quite small. Most came from Jews. Some came from non-Jews. I did not solicit funds. Wexner had stressed in no uncertain terms, “Our job is to ensure that you have the means to fight. Your job is to fight.” When someone called the Wexners to suggest that I follow a particular strategy, they were told in no uncertain terms, “It’s between Deborah and her lawyers. She has the best. Let them do their job.” (Source: Ibid., p. 39).

    So, within a few weeks, without publicity or any significant work on her part, Deborah Lipstadt had the millions of dollars needed to hire a top-notch defense team. Lipstadt adds the names Michael Berenbaum, Phyllis Cook, Robert Goodkind, Miles Lehrman and Bruce Soll as additional people who helped in the drive to create a fund for her defense. (Source: Ibid., p. 308.).

    Even if Irving had somehow won his lawsuit, Lipstadt was never in financial danger. Any financial damages awarded to Irving by the trial judge could have been easily paid by Lipstadt’s numerous wealthy financial donors.

    What? You mean doubt that Irving demanded that the book be withdrawn? That is how the whole case started.

    -----
    He wrote to Lipstadt's English publisher Penguin Books in November 1995 demanding the withdrawal of Lipstadt's book from circulation, alleging defamation and threatening to sue. Lipstadt responded, pointing out that her book mentioned Irving only on six out of more than three hundred pages. The publisher refused to withdraw; and Irving issued his defamation writ in September 1996.

    That much at least has an easy answer. Demographic estimates have always pointed to between 9 and 10 million European Jews in 1939. Postwar attempts to count the European Jewish population came up with about 3.5 million. One can argue that the postwar conditions were such that would discourage any effective demographic count and that this 3.5 million may be an underestimate, perhaps even by a wide margin. But there's no point in pretending that it doesn't have the appearance of prima facie evidence.

    Pick up any book on the genocide of the Jews. Hitler himself admitted his genocidal intentions in one of his speeches, when he said that in the event of a war in Europe, the Jewish race in Europe would be exterminated.

    Regardless of the fact that even if your arguments had some real basis, they do not in any way refute that the genocide of the Jews took place, including the mass killing of Jews in gas chambers. Then it is only about the number of victims of the genocide. Nothing more.

    , @Patrick McNally
    @Brad Anbro

    Whatever one makes of the gas chamber stories, the point stands that it was demographic counting which caused the number range of 5-6 million to be initially accepted by most historians. You can argue that a large number of Jews were still alive in 1945 yet scattered across the continent in ways that made it hard to count. That has some general plausibility to it.

    Keep in mind that questions about crematoria and bones only apply when one is considering the alleged numbers of dead in specific camps. All of Europe saw tens of millions of abnormal deaths during just a few years. Yet most people wouldn't be able to trace the vast bulk of those deaths. If someone wishes to claim that a set number of deaths occurred at Auschwitz specifically, then it can make some sense to debate how bodies would have been disposed of there. But with things like the Einsatzgruppen, it is bound to be more difficult to account for bodies which would have been the result of killings taking place behind moving battlelines.

    “ Phillip Tourney President, USS Liberty Veterans Association

    I am a survivor of the unprovoked and deliberate 1967 attack on the USS Liberty by the Zionist state of Israel that killed 34 and wounded 174 of the 294 crewmen onboard. The US government covered up the truth and conspired with Israel to falsely claim the Zionist state mistook the USS Liberty for an Egyptian ship. The attack was intended to be a false flag to justify the US siding with Israel in the Six Day War against Arab states.
    The failure to sink the ship miraculously thwarted their plans.

    This attack and cover up are absolutely relevant today. This is when AIPAC took control of US foreign policy. And now the neocons want a war with Iran. Today the threat of WWIll and nuclear war is a frightening reality for you, me, our children and grandchildren. The US continues to pursue a foreign policy dictated by the neocons instead of America First non-interventionism that would bring peace and prosperity to our nation.
    The US sends billions to Israel to fund the bombs and weapons that have murdered, according to the Lancet Medical Journal, 189,000 civilians in Gaza, territory Israel stole from Egypt during the Six Day War.

    I am appealing to you to do whatever you can to get the truth out on this attack. If more Americans understood this, they would rise up to lobby their government to stop funding the genocide in Gaza and to oppose sending their sons and daughters to be killed in a war with Iran.

    If our ship had gone down as planned, WWiII was only minutes away. The failure of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to sink the USS Liberty saved the world from a nuclear holocaust caused by the US government and Israel. This is a fact we can prove to the American people.

    On June 8, 1967, when the gallant crew of the USS Liberty was savagely attacked by Israel, our American flag was proudly flying on our ship in the Mediterranean Sea. The designation AGTR- 5 was clearly painted on the bow, port and starboard sides. “USS Liberty” was written in English on her stern.

    When we arrived on June 7, we were overflown by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft, and the same activity was repeated on the morning of June 8. We were positively identified as American and friendly by the IDF.
    We requested a destroyer escort long before we entered the Mediterranean but were denied twice Our captain assured us we were clearly marked as American and we had nothing to fear. We were alone, 12.5 miles off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula, always in international waters.
    The Israeli reconnaissance aircraft were clearly marked with the Star of David. We felt secure seeing a flying box car and other smaller recon propeller aircraft taking good care of us.

    The attack began at two o’clock on a beautiful bright sunny day by French-made Mirage and Mystere jets painted black with no markings. We had no clue who was attacking us but assumed it was an Arab state. During the first pass by, the jets took out all but one of our transmitting antennas as well as every watertight door above the water line. The air attack lasted about 25 minutes, killing and maiming our fire fighters and any sailor who moved

    Our radioman took one antenna off line, so it wasn’t transmitting and wasn’t hit. He ran a long wire to it and the SOS went out to the sixth fleet. It was even picked up as far away as Vietnam: “Rock Star Rock Star under attack by unknown jet aircraft help us help us.”

    Captain Tully, skipper of the USS Saratoga, sent jets to come to our aid. Before the jets hit the horizon, they were recalled by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
    Captain Engen of the USS America and Tully relaunched more aircraft to aid us; they were also recalled by LBJ himself. He said, “I don’t care about a few dead sailors….I will not embarrass my ally, Israel. Return to base immediately.”
    How did he know who was attacking us if we didn’t?
    We were set up by our own government to let a foreign government have their way with us. The IDF even dropped napalm on the bridge of our ship.
    How low they would go we would soon find out. Three motor torpedo boats headed our way and one torpedo hit our starboard side. We saw the star of David on the boats. They were there to sink us. The attack continued for another hour and a half.

    Attacking jet aircraft destroyed all but three of our life rafts, which we put overboard. We were going to place our most seriously wounded in them so they would have a chance at life. The IDF would have none They continued shooting and killing my mates.
    They left and we thought it was over, but it wasn’t. IDF helicopters were sent with troops armed and ready to board our ship and finish us off. Then they just left. I guess the gig was up when the mighty IDF could not sink our defenseless ship.

    When it was all done there were over 821 rocket and cannon holes and over 5,000 armor-piercing bullets riddling the ship. Napalm was burning us up and a 40×40 foot torpedo hole was in her side, causing the ship to list badly to our starboard side.
    We waited 17 hours for help. I guess they hoped we would sink that night. Help was only forty minutes away from us but they left us all out alone to die.

    When the USS America and USS Davis arrived to help us, they took our wounded to care for them. Their wounds were so horrific, words cannot explain.
    Admiral Kidd boarded our ship a few days later and the cover up began.

    We were ordered to never speak of the attack to anyone, not even with each other. Penalties were fines, imprisonment or worse, and we all knew worse meant death.
    We have been treated like garbage for the last 57 years. Congress has been bought and paid for with the exception over the years of a few brave lawmakers-Reps. Pete McCloskey, Paul Findley and Jim Traficant. As the courageous Rep. We can assume this is also true of nearly all Democrats.

    We are the most decorated ship in naval history for a single engagement.
    God saved us that day to allow us to communicate the truth of this attack to leaders like you. We give all power to Jesus Christ. We are just his servants, that horrible day and now.
    The USS Liberty survivors are the biggest whistleblowers this country has ever seen. We have been smeared as anti-Semitic, Jew haters and Nazis. Our only sin is we stayed alive to tell the truth. We didn’t kill anyone. Israel did all the murdering and the US government covered it up.

    I’m asking you to help us save America by telling others the facts about the slaughter of my mates. We are begging you to support us.

But there's no point in pretending that it doesn't have the appearance of prima facie evidence.

    Reagan was suckered into sending manufacturing jobs abroad by short-term “thinkers” and converting America into a Service (and Rentier, Zero Sum) Economy. The FIRE Economy (finance, insurance, and real estate) went from 3% of the US economy to ~30%. The American companies who went Global, saved pennies on the dollar for Labor costs, but avoided high corporate taxes in the US by moving their companies abroad. The business leaders argued that Management not industrial production was the key to business success, and many golden parachutes deployed in the process before the inevitable fallout.

    The Clintons sold out to the Chinese for trivial campaign donations (Chinagate). While high end technologies and important and military industrial secrets had been protected from off-shoring, Clinton gave China permanent free trade status and dropped most barriers against offshoring high tech manufacturing and jobs, throwing away innovation and American ingenuity. Clinton claimed China was a bulwark against Russia (that aged well). All the US needed was the managerial class (the people who donated to political campaigns). Lots of money was made under Clinton (and Reagan) at the cost of the US’s future.

Of course because they didn’t want Americans to realize Laos and Cambodia were helping North Vietnam and the Vietcong because they saw Americans as imperialists.

    Also the Soviets did the OVERWHELMING majority of the fight against the Nazis. Yes the US supplied the Soviets with lots of equipment through Lend lease – but the VAST MAJORITY of the fighting was done by the Soviets.

  • Phil, Thanks for this post. Pretty much a ‘roll call’ of the usual complaints we might level at our ‘Hebrew’ brethren for their wicked, wicked ways. However given the reluctance of the vast majority of people to embrace these reality checks and respond in kind, so they must be repeated ad nauseum. What will it take? Can’t say for sure, but I’ll pick up on this theme shortly.

    As for the USS Liberty, this is a story that’s been dear to my heart as a writer and researcher for some time, being amongst other things one of America’s worst best kept dirty secrets, so many of which it needs be said ‘coincidentally’ involve a certain Middle Eastern country which touts itself as the former’s most loyal, trusted, useful ally blah, blah, blah.

    Worth noting is that even one of Australia’s former Prime Ministers Malcolm Fraser—who was our defence minister at that time (1967), and would’ve been in the know—revealed in his dotage about ten years ago his personal belief that Israel deliberately attacked the Liberty, and that it was covered up at the highest levels. This type of admission—belated as it may have been, and coming from a former leader of a nation which itself could with far more credibility claim bragging rights (albeit somewhat dubious) to being America’s “most loyal, trusted, useful ally” was itself shocking. (Not unexpectedly, Fraser’s true confessions mo inevitably attracted the ire and righteous indignation of Australia’s Jewish lobby; yes sadly we have ‘em too. As I’m wont to say, “hell hath no fury like an infuriated Jewry”.)

    On a slightly different note, for what it is worth, my interest in this story was sparked by author Phil Nelson’s (now sadly deceased) work in exposing this war crime. Prior to Phil publishing his excellent book on the Liberty in 2017, I learned about this criminally tragic, and shame-filled episode via his earlier work exposing the lies and crimes of one Lyndon B Johnson (LBJ), America’s 36th president. LBJ—‘bar mitzvahed’ as America’s “first Jewish POTUS” by the way—had as you’ve indicated his grubby prints all over the Liberty crime scene, including the coverup. When time came to publishing his Liberty book, I worked with Phil in the lead up to its release to produce for posterity my own take on the attack. In any event, the resulting two parter (see links below) represents the results of that collaboration.

    And now with Israel’s reputation (such as it be) seemingly collapsing faster than the Twin Towers on 9/11 in the wake of the latest iteration of its decades long Gaza Genocide Project, there’s no better time than the present to once again revisit the story of the fate of the Liberty. If in the current climate it brings a few more Americans to at least question their country’s fatal attraction to the Jewish state and the consequences of maintaining it—an “attraction” so described perhaps never being more evident nor portentous—then that can only be a good thing.

    All of which is to say, for those who’ve yet to fully appreciate them, the Liberty narrative (the unofficial one that is) is another text book case study in the much touted ‘benefits’ to America of its one-sided affair with the Middle East’s “only democracy”. Not unlike might we say the JFK Thing and the 9/11 Thing, to name a couple of the big ones. A fatal attraction of sorts that given present events may well come complete with dire consequences for not just the US but the West and humanity as a whole.

    If in this current milieu Americans can’t bring themselves to that all important critical mass awareness that this toxic relationship has facilitated the unmaking of America more than any other factor in its history, then I fear it will be too late. If it isn’t already that is. With incumbent POTUS Donald Trump arguably being the best “Jewish president” thus far, the signs are far from hopeful.

    Can I gets me an “amen” from the choir pilgrims?

    Maybe worth mentioning that Fraser had a Jewish grandfather and appointed a Jew (Zelman Cowen) as Govenor General.
    Maybe I should also add that Fraser was also responsible for allowing large scale Muslim immigration into Australia (It started with Muslim Lebanese. Christian Lebanese and Middle East Christians generally had been allowed in, but Muslim immigration was severely limited until Fraser who took that the view that if Christians from a country were acceptable immigrants, then so were non-Christians from that country)

    –One holocaust museum is allowed to remain open with explanations on the massive fraud that jews have perpetrated against the world.

    Impossible : Judaism is the founding cult of the USA. The founding fathers asked for some branch of it (mixed with Calvinism and first degree Masonry) to become the official religion but the higher Jewish authorities, like they had done in England, called for freedom of religion with the exception of Catholicism (but with sub-exceptions made for some Catholic orders) and other forms of paganism. What was namely asked to any religion to be admitted as a capitalist enterprise exempt from taxation was conformity to the Noachide Laws. The Jewish entity went underground after the South, which they had supported to its fag end as they were then Sephardic and concentrated around the plantation economy in the import-export sector, had lost the Civil War, as the North was supported by the new-coming Ashkenazi Jewish community. From then on, the Jewish tactic was to pretend not to be very powerful and rather the champions of the downtrodden. But that never was : The Bnai Brith could not have been founded elsewhere than in NYC and NYC was all Jewish-owned since it had spoken Dutch. Israel is not a foreign country. It is an offshore gated resort of the Jewish US elite like the Bahamas. Moreover when the USA became a world empire it essentially inherited the privilege to host the headquarters of the former European Jewish colonial companies.

    Hating people who hate you is healthy.
     
    I wonder if hatred inspired you and the idiots who agreed with you to just make that shit up.

    It certainly wasn’t Christianity.


    Hate can breed more negative emotions. It can affect personal and professional relationships. Hatred changes the chemistry in the brain. It stimulates the area in the brain responsible for planning and execution of motion. This part triggers aggression while feeling hateful to either defend or attack. This also creates “fight or flight” responses and increases the levels of two hormones: cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can cause weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness. Hatred also triggers the mind to try to predict what the person being hated may do as a defense mechanism. This leads to further anxiety, restlessness, obsessive thinking, and paranoia, which affects overall mental health.
     
    Hatred destroys you from within.

    Jews are the biggest haters of all.

    When I attended UC Berkeley back in the 70s, I lived in a student co-op. It was a communistic situation where everybody had to put in a certain number of hours a week to cook food and clean etc. No adults

    Of course it was filled with The children of rich Jewish families from New York and Hollywood.

    We ate communally and at least two or three times a week the jewish students would start in on the Greeks, that is fraternities and sororities. It was clear that they absolutely despised and at the same time envied all the goyim in the Greek system. They would always be complaining about how some rich fucking fraternity guy stared at them or bumped them or was arrogant or something like that. But it was all in their head — Greeks were oblivious to Jews. It wasn’t on their radar.

    I used to go to some of the Greek parties because I studied or did sports with some of the frat guys in my classes. It was interesting that I never heard a single word about Jews when with fraternity and sorority students. They knew about the holocaust and they thought it was horrible. But there was absolutely no animosity towards Jews. But the Jews absolutely hated the blonde athletic healthy Greek kids, and complained about their privilege.

    Now this is weird because a lot of the fraternity guys came from fairly poor blue-collar families I’m talking construction trucking farming, On the other hand most of the Jewish kids fathers were doctors lawyers, bankers, professors, stock market guys or big Hollywood execs. I thought it was really strange that all these rich privileged Jewish kids who were by the way mostly socialist or communist, were absolutely obsessed with the fraternity system. They hated them and One Jewish girl even told me that she despised and hated Germans and hoped that they would all die horrible deaths.

    Jews are full of hate it’s their culture and their nature. It consumes them. Jews NEVER STOP COMPLAINING. And they have long memories they’re taught about all of their enemies going back 3000 years they obsess about the vengeance they will have upon all of their enemies, which apparently is anyone who is not Jewish.

    I think the Jewish culture is particularly susceptible to corruption. Their “chosen people” sense of entitlement and Kol Nidre plan to lie place them in position to be in conflict with everyone else. They have been throughout history and they are today.

    Culture is a choice, and Jewish leaders long ago decided to take that choice away by dictating that religion, beliefs, choices are passed from parent to offspring. Couple that with a deluge of the same Jewish propaganda we’ve all been brainwashed with and you have our current situation.

    Just because people are brainwashed to defend it doesn’t mean they necessarily recognize that it is a conspiracy.

    The brainwashing comes from propaganda. The propaganda comes from lying.

    "The alleged hijacking by passengers was surely just a fabricated patriotic legend (“Let’s Roll“) that necessitated a Hollywood produced movie to entrench in some people’s minds."

    It is not a good patriotic legend when men cannot save women and all die after the heroic attempt. If they wanted a patriotic story, they could have made more use of rescue workers climbing so many steps and managing to rescue so many people.

    I think the real story is like this. When people started asking questions of the strange collapse of WTC7 and even NIST could not explain how the symmetric collapse might have happened from unsymmetric fire damage, the perpetrators decided to create lots of false theories just to confuse this issue to endless discussions (of the type that take place in this false opposition site UR).

    The Shanksville plane was one issue to confuse, because when the passengers hijacked the plane from the hijackers, the perpetrators could not possibly let it land safely: the hijackers would have told too much of who actually was behind this attack. Maybe they would have denied the role of Osama Bin Laden and that would not be good. Therefore, with passengers in control, the plane was told to turn towards Washington DC to supposedly land there, and it was shot down with a missile. Then the perpetrators spread a fake story that the whole recapturing of the plane by passengers was false because an "expert" told that mobile calls from the plane were impossible. I am an expert on that area and I think a mobile call may well have succeeded in country side from that altitude, not every time but some times it would.

    When they had this false story of the mobile call being impossible, they managed to imprint to peoples minds that the calls from passengers could not have been made from the plane. So, these people were taken by the evil government to some remote site and persuaded, maybe even tortured, to make these fake calls. Later their throats were split open and the bodies were dropped to sharks. OK, that is a patriotic legend of the all evil US government. The perpetrators like to weaken the trust on all national authorities, but all of US authorities are not in any conspiracy. The plane was real and it was shot down because the vice president told so, he had the authority to make the risk evaluation and to make the decision. The military would obey, naturally.

    Then they had to explain why the perpetrators made the fake recapture by the passengers at all, as it makes no sense. Somebody invented that it was for creating a patriotic legend of heroic American men trying to save the plane and failing. But for a legend, you should succeed. Even Alamo defenders were later told to have achieved something with their failed defense. Total failure is not a good legend. In a Hollywood story they would have saved the people with everybody cheering.

    It may be unpatriotic to say so, but it's interesting to realize we've actually fought very few clearly defensive wars: I'd call the War of 1812 defensive, but since then?

    The Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War? Clearly not. World War One? Well, maybe. Germany was sinking American ships. World War Two? We really could have avoided war with Japan. Korea? Viet Nam? Iraq?

    Curiously, Afghanistan might qualify. The Taliban were giving sanctuary to Osama bin Laden, and yes, he had attacked us. But we toppled the Taliban in a matter of weeks; the next twenty years were about...something. What, never was clear.

    But then, who fights defensive wars? If we haven't, it's only because between geography and rapidly swelling strength, we've simply been too formidable a proposition to make it worthwhile. I believe Napoleon thought about it around 1800; gave up and just sold us some real estate instead. France again (!) seems to have contemplated taking advantage of the Civil War -- but she wanted Britain to go in with her, and Britain wouldn't, so that was that.

    The Taliban were giving sanctuary to Osama bin Laden, and yes, he had attacked us.

    There is NO PROOF that a single one of those alleged 19 Arabs armed with box cutters boarded any of the four planes that were claimed to have been hijacked on 9/11, let alone that they were acting on the instructions of OBL.
    9/11 was totally a Mossad orchestrated False Flag and no Arabs participated in its execution (although clues were purposely left to make it appear as though the Saudis and Pakistan’s ISI were implicated).

    But rabid neocon that he his, Colon Wrong continues peddling the lie that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were just wars, fought in the defence of America.
    UR readers, don’t be misled by Colon Wrong’s statements about the slaughter in Gaza and his fake sincerity, he doesn’t mean a word of it.

    He is ‘All-In’ in his support for the Anglo-Zionist empire and ZOG’s endless wars.

  • Wow! Another great article gifted to us by Mr. Guyenot. Thank you sir.

    As a fast-growing number of people discover that the government, media and financial world in the U.S. are controlled by Zionists, who has an interest in making as much noise as possible with the alternative message: “The government, media and financial world in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation”? Who has benefited from that operation? Has Donald Trump, by the way, dismantled the Satan-worshipping elite pedophile ring? Is John Podesta in prison? No, but Netanyahu is a regular guest at the White House, and he is allowed to commit the biggest child-sacrifice in history, with Trump’s blessing. QAnon and its SWP mythology has created a smokescreen to conceal from the view of religious-minded patriots Israel’s takeover of the American government.

    This is why we can say that Satanism is the false flag of Yahwism, just as Islamic terrorism was in the case of 9/11.

    What they aim to do is make Gentiles sick. But they are masters of cultural dialectical engineering, and they know that they also need to control the vaccine against their virus. They feed satanism and control anti-satanism, in the same way they finance radical Islamism and control anti-Islamism. They drive the Wokes insane, and they manipulate the Awakes. They pull both strings. They create satanism, but they are not Satan-worshippers; Satan is only their boogeyman. They control the anti-Satan crusaders, but they are not God-worshippers. They are the sons of Yahweh the Devil.

    Don’t let yourself be distracted.

    “The government, media and financial world in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation”?

  • Mary Magdalene knew Jesus was the Real Deal, because He had cast seven demons out of her. When most of His other disciples had run away frightened, Mary Magdalene stayed near Jesus while in His agony on the Cross, He was fighting the demons that had enslaved humanity. Standing near His tomb for an opportunity to add embalming spices to His Body, she was he first person to whom the Risen Christ was revealed. She wasn’t believed at first when she told others that she’d seen Jesus alive, but she loved Him, and knew He loved her, and her belief was not shaken. Neither am I shaken by articles like these.

    Before this encounter with Mary Magdalene, Jesus visited a place where there were the souls of people who had followed God, according to such lights they had– people from all times and places, some who had never heard of the name Yahweh. Jesus opened the doors of Paradise for these blessed souls. I speak of Jesus to people because — it’s like giving a product you really like a positive review on Amazon — I want them to know God in His fullness, the way those souls in Paradise were introduced to Jesus on that first Easter weekend, NOT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IF I DONT GET TO THEM BEFORE THEY DIE, WITH MY SUPER-POLISHED GOSPEL PRESENTATION, JESUS IS GOING TO WRING HIS HANDS AND GO, “DANG, IF IRENEATHENA HAD ONLY GOT THERE IN TIME I WOULDN’T HAVE HAD TO SEND THAT GOOD LOVING PERSON TO HELL.”

    Oh, but there is a Hell. Many people are directly on their way there, but some of those may respond to God’s voice and turn toward Him. It used to bother me to think about such a place existing, but I now know that folks like the most vicious commenters on Unz wouldn’t truly be at home in any other eternal dwelling. What about those seven demons who were cast out of Mary Magdalene? Pshaw, you say? Well, a lot of people end up believing in Jesus because they came, through horrifying personal witness, to believe in the existence of Satan first. https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/a34226478/dr-richard-gallagher-demonic-possession-expert-isnt-trying-to-convince-you/

    Whether the story of Adam and Eve is true or not is debatable. The principle holds. Man is responsible for his environment, whether good or evil.

    The question you should be asking is not why God doesn't do something about this, but why do you tolerate it?

    Well? Why do you?

    If, if, man has been given dominion over creation, then it is correct to conclude that man is responsible for the condition of creation as it now stands. It is not God's fault, but man's. If the devil is running wild on earth, then it is not God's irresponsibility, but man's. Including you and I.

    If you take exception to some innocent child being abducted and sold into a pedophile ring, then what are you doing to put a stop to it? Prayer changes things, right? That's what we hear all the time, but as James tells us, " Faith without works is dead."

Like mixing live yeast into a bread mix.

    The worst thing to do is to blame someone else for the ills which infect our world as that takes away from our own sense of responsibility. If I had to explain this in only two words, I would probably phrase it like this: "No excuse." The problem, as I see it, is that most people are more inclined to point fingers rather than to 'fess up' to their own failings.

    We are not called to change the world for the better. We are only required to change ourselves. The paradox in that is that, as we transform ourselves, we somehow transform our world.

    "I ask you: What explosives are capable of making a high grade structural steel member lose its load bearing integrity in that manner and crumble away?
    No amount of conventional explosives (eg: RDX or PETN) has been demonstrated as being capable of doing that."

    The dust clouds that you see are not caused by any explosion. They are caused by gravitational collapse: concrete structure hits a concrete structure and concrete breaks into small pieces. The dust cloud escapes where it can. If there is no building above it, it does also escape up and a dust cloud shoots up. This shooting up looks more impressive as the impact point falls down, so actually it does not shoot up as much as in the photo.

    In controlled demolition, just like in spontaneous collapse, the dust cloud is not caused by any explosives, it is a gravitational collapse. In controlled demolition the gravitational collapse is created by removing the structure by explosives, but these explosives are small and they are not the cause of the large dust cloud.

    You can see that there is no large explosion that pulverizes concrete in mid air. Just look at the video. The collapse proceeds rather continuously for some ten seconds. Consider what it would look like if there were enough explosives (nuclear or other) to create such a large explosion as the photo seems to show. You would notice the moment, a very short moment, when the large explosive goes off. It would be immediately recognizable in the video: now the explosive went off. You do not see such a moment. That is, there was no large explosive.

    "I have also seen videos of legitimate controlled demolitions and in NO video of any legitimate controlled demolition have I ever seen the kinds of “dust clouds” that were present on 9/11."

    Yes, you are correct. 9/11 was not a legitimate controlled demolition. Without first removing asbestos the building could not be demolished in a legitimate way. The building was collapsed in a way that looks like it collapsed because a plane hit the building and started fires in some floors. Then, supposedly, these fires weakened the steel structure of the building and caused floor to collapse. If one middle floor of such a high building collapses, then the collapse continues until the whole building collapses.

    So, this was the way if was to be explained to the public and to the construction engineering community. Therefore we should assume that what in reality happened must look very much what this official explanation claims happened.

    Construction engineers, which you are not and I am not, have accepted the claims:
    1) if one floor collapses, the whole building does collapse,
    2) the speed of the collapse of WTC1 and WTC2 is quite correctly what the speed how the building would collapse if support of one floor is removed. This speed is not the free-fall speed and these buildings (unlike WTC7) do not fall with the free-fall speed.

    What many (I think most or all) construction engineers have not accepted is:
    1) That an unsymmetric damage to a building (by the plane and fires) could cause a symmetric collapse. They are right, it would cause an unsymmetric collapse by basic physics, the collapse would happen by the way of smallest work.
    2) Office fires and airplane fuel cannot weaken the structures of one floor enough to cause a collapse of a floor. This is correct, the plane should rip off fire protection and that is very unlikely to happen in the whole floor to make a symmetric collapse of the floor.
    Additionally there are too many oddities, like that the collapse of WTC7 does look like a controlled demolition, and all other strange things. Therefore the collapses of WTC1 and WTC2 were not caused by the planes and fires. The buildings were destroyed by illegitimate controlled demolitions. The demolitions were controlled as the buildings did not fall to the side and destroy more than they did.

    But the demolitions of these buildings was not legitimate and did not follow the methods of legitimate controlled demolitions. Therefore you cannot find photos or videos of legitimate controlled demolitions producing similar dust clouds. In a legitimate controlled demolition of so high steel frame buildings the method used would not be taking one floor out from the middle. They would weaken the structure from all floors of the building as it gives much better control of the collapse. But in 9/11 this legitimate method could not be used as the preparations had to be made secretly: there was no way to wire the building for demolition in the normal legitimate way.

    The collapse of WTC1 and 2 must look different from any legitimate controlled demolition because of two reasons: 1) the collapse was intended to look like coming from damage by a plane and fire, 2) there was no possibility to wire the buildings to a controlled demolition in a normal way.

    "There are images that show of building structural members weighing hundreds of pounds which were hurled, laterally, hundreds of feet, and being lodged in nearby buildings."

    The structural members of the building that you are talking about was steel pillars. Steel pillars weighing hundreds of pounds were hurled laterally hundreds of feet, or at least to the other side of the street and they hit another building and stuck there. You think this means that only an explosion could give these steel beams such a lateral speed. This is false. You especially see that concrete blocks did not fly laterally so far. They would have flown also if there was an explosion. What is different between steel and concrete is that concrete is not elastic while steel is. Those steel beams buckled: they were standing in upright position in the outer wall of the building holding up the upper floors. Then these upper floors came down with enormous force when the gravitational collapse reached this floor. The steel beams bent, as steel is elastic, and as springs that are pressed they jumped out immediately when the weight above was decreased when the collapse proceeded further. This is what is called buckling. The steel pillars buckled: they were bent, stored lots of energy, and jumped up when the pressure was released. Some of them flew laterally, some to some other direction.

    "As I said before, I think that your entire post is absolute nonsense. "

    Think again. It is not nonsense. Do not start thinking of how strange the photo looks like and if you have ever seen a controlled demolition look like that, this was a highly unusual controlled demolition. Think what would it look like if some large explosive caused the effects in the photo. Let us say, a nuclear bomb. A nuclear explosion is extremely fast. Would you not see any difference before the explosion happens versus after it happens? Go check some videos of explosions and see if you notice any difference of how things look like before the explosion versus after the explosion. I am fairly sure you will easily see the moment when a large explosive fired.

    I have also seen videos of controlled demolitions and never seen a collapse of the kind that was in 9/11, but there is one but.

    I have seem only one video where a building was collapsed by taking a middle floor out. It was not a very high building, thus the force the falling mass created was not especially large. It did not have a steel frame, so there were no buckling steel pillars. The top part did not completely get disintegrated before the building reached the ground level, so there were no dust could shooting up before the ground level. In all of these senses this controlled demolition did not resemble the collapses of WTC1 and WTC2.

    In WTC1&2 the building was very tall and consequently it had to be steel frame. Taking one floor away in some method would cause a very large mass of the floors above to fall for one floor. The force by which this mass would hit the underlying floor would be large enough to pulverize concrete. Both the highest lower and the lowest upper floor would be destroyed and turn to dust, which would have to escape somewhere. When all of the upper floors are destroyed, dust cloud could (and would) escape up. Because of the released very large energy, the dust clouds would be very impressive. The destruction zone would fall down with almost the speed of free fall, so in a photo the dust clouds would look like they are shooting very high up, while in reality they do not shoot so high up - the destruction zone moves down. You would see buckling of the steel beams keeping the outer walls standing. They would have to buckle since the middle part falls faster than the outer sides and the steel pillars would not stand straight up but be bent to the inside of the building.

    I thought about how this could have happened and came up with yet another proposal:
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365433732_Yet_another_solution_to_the_911_attack

    The collapse starts by the central steel core going down, this is seen by the antenna going down. The central core would go down if its basis is destroyed in the basement by thermite and explosives. Then there is the question of how to get the collapse to start at a chosen floor. This can be made by cutting or leaving uncut trusses that connect the floors to the central pillar. But probably there is needed some thermite as there seems to be molten iron falling down from one floor. I explain in the paper how this possibly might have been done.

    About large explosives above the ground, the problem is that the fall seems continuous for some ten seconds, no clear moments when explosives go off. If the explosives were large, then they had to be very far apart because otherwise, when explosives in one floor go off, they cause explosives in all other floors also to go off very fast, faster than the building falls. We do not see this. In controlled demolition the charges in each floor have to be small to prevent this from happening, but because of this, the charges are too small to create the large dust clouds. The large dust clouds come from gravitational collapse: concrete hits concrete and turns to dust.

Sadly, it's an emperor's new clothes scenario. They sheep are only getting shorn, and I confess, as a non-Christian, that I resent also getting shorn as part of the arrangment.

    With all this theological discussion, I think it’s important to remember that religion affects people at all stages of their lives, from infancy to the grave at least. Religionists who insist on a fortress mentality for their belief system have no idea what some people go through to have any conception of God at all. For this reason, I thought I’d share my own “journey,” perhaps to put things into perspective for someone.

    In the late 1940’s, my father was a talented oil painter and guitarist with only a second-grade education. As a result, he had many difficulties supporting a family. When I was still in the crib, my father lost his job, and, frustrated and intoxicated, picked me up from the crib and threw me through a window, whether open or closed I don’t know. Luckily, I landed in a rose bush and was not serious injured. I was rescued by a Daughter of the Eastern Star. This was my first contact with a Masonic organization.

    Several years later, my dad eventually went into a mental hospital to treat delirium tremens (DTs) from alcoholism. When he was released I was about five years old. I remember approaching his knee as he was sitting in the living room trying to read a newspaper. “Dad,” I asked, “Is there a God?” He leaned over and carefully replied, “Son, believe nothing of what you hear, AND ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE.” At the time, I didn’t understand anything about the hallucinations associated with delirium tremens, but the reply stuck with me.

    When I was ten, my dad died from an alcohol-related rupture of the esophagus. There was a bucket of blood next to his bed when the ambulance took him to the hospital. That Sunday, I went to Sunday school in the neighborhood and listened to the Sunday school teacher explain that people who didn’t believe in God would go to Hell after death. I loved my dad; he was violent, but he always encouraged creativity and I was convinced he loved me. So, I floated the question, “What about all those people in Africa who have never heard of Jesus?” The teacher gravely replied, “Unless our missionaries can get to them in time, there’s no hope.”

    I didn’t go back to Sunday school. Instead, I developed a habit of cussing and took morning and evening newspaper jobs around rather shady people in the hopes of helping support our poor family. At eleven, I breathed in a lot of leaded gasoline from idling cars as I worked a busy corner paper stand. Probably lost a couple of IQ points at least from the pollution..

    I was then an atheist, then an agnostic for a number of years, but took science very serious. I decided that I would research the aging process. Perhaps, if people had more years to live, they could figure out whether God was real or not. My aging-related research which I carried out on scholarship at a well known research institute, was accepted in a peer-reviewed medical journal while I was in high school, so I then won a full academic scholarship to an East-Coast university in the US.

    Within in a week of attending the university, I found the writings of Henri Bergson in the library, and I was transfixed. I spent much of my time at the university wandering through the woods behind the university wondering about eternity and time. To my horror, I discovered that I was a mystic with a science major during the Vietnam war. Who could I talk to about this? I was practically an orphan and I did not trust the humanity faculty members who wrote or talked eloquently about mysticism, including the Jesuit Renee Girard, although I noticed he was one of only two faculty members I ever saw in the library. At least, he didn’t believe that he knew everything…

    I concluded I was on my own and had to find some internal power to discover the truth, so one day I entered that library of over a million volumes and just decided to trust my finger tips. I ran them over the elevator buttons until there was a light feeling in my fingers. I pushed the basemen level, exited the elevator, held my left hand over my head and turned right because of that light feeling in my finger tips. I proceeded down the hall past many rows of books until that light feeling returned. I turned left, went halfway down a row of books until I felt that feeling again as I past my hand over a book high over my head, a book I could only reach on tip-toes. It was “The Life Divine” by the Indian sage Aurobindo. I took it home, but could not understand it at all; the philosophical terms and considerations were so outside my science background.

    I slept with the book under my pillow in the desperate hope of absorbing something through osmosis. I went back to the library and dowsed several times more, bringing back “Being and Time” by Heidegger and a book by Berdyaev. Being a science major, I could not understand any of these but I was convinced they contained some important truths. I slept with one or another of these books under my pillow over several years. So, basically I was operating at the level of a cargo cult with only one member.

    The spiritual urgency began to sink in when I graduated from the university while 1-A for the draft. Disillusioned with higher education, I hitchhiked around the country, sleeping under bridges or on beaches around the Great Lakes. I read an interview with General Hersey, head of Selective Service for the Vietnam draft. Concerning conscientious objectors, he declared, “We like to find out if the applicant is really religious or just philosophical.” If you were really religious, if you believed in A SUPREME BEING who prohibited you from killing anyone in the war, then perhaps you could serve your country in some other fashion. But you had to believe in A SUPREME BEING. What about BEING ITSELF? Heidegger at least got that part right - the West forgot about BEING a long time ago and was only interested in using the idea of God/Being to control people. A blasphemy?

    I eventually showed up an the Canadian consulate in Denver for an interview. A very self-satisfied bureaucrat behind a very large, expensive desk interviewed me. “So, you want to come to Canada,” he exclaimed. “Pray, tell me what is your profession?” I didn’t like the way he said “pray;” it sounded like “prey,” so instead of B.S.ing my way through the interview with reference to the science research I had done to vindicate the Canadian physiologist Hans Selye, I merely said, “I’m a philosopher.”

    He opened a large book and pretended to move his finger down the listings. “Pharmacist, Plumber…Ah! Canada has not need for philosophers!” he announced. I thanked him and added that I now understood the I had no need for Canada.

    I left the Denver office a little after 5 PM, when the downtown stdewalks were crowded with hundreds of people leaving office buildings. Across the street, an old black preacher was standing on an oil drum and called out to me through the crowds and across a very busy four-lane street, “Young man! You don’t have to go to Canada.” I looked past the sea of people to the preacher on the oid drum. Then, he yelled out,“You can talk to God face to face; just don’t put on that uniform.”

    That fired me up. I continued to roam in search of something. When I was down to my last ten bucks, I “accidentally” met the co-owner of the dance studio where Michael Jackson trained. I had a job for a week at a gas station when he drove up. He understood my situation and made a dangerous move just a few days later - he briefly took me out of the physical body to another plane of existence. I’ll never forget that generosity, regardless of how dangerous it might have been for him or for me. This extraordinary individual, Pedro Dupuis, must have helped Michael Jackson at some point also; Pedro Dupuis lived in another state of consciousness, had almost no need for sleep, was laser focused on helping people undergoing a spiritual crisis. I saw him only 3 times, but can to understand that he was intimate with the Divine, but was not a member of a religion and did not build a cult around himself. Laurent, I mention this because you have written about Michael Jackson and have wondered about his milieu. Some things are secrets, of course.

    I was “saved” in a Pentecostal church on Feb. 6, 1972 and previous to that, I had attended both Lutheran and Methodist churches. Going to a Methodist church as a teen, I went through their “Confirmation” class.

    A short time after being “saved,” I gave up the Holy Roller thing and condemning everyone’s beliefs except my own. When my (then) wife and I had just moved into a new house that we had built for us, I was out in the garage, trying to get a junker garden tractor to run, as our house was on a 2-1/2 acre piece of land and I needed something to mow with.

    While in the garage, a Cadillac pulled up in our gravel driveway and two men got out of the car. They introduced themselves as members of a nearby Baptist church, one of them being the pastor. They invited us to attend their church and after myself telling them about being “saved” and my former Holy Roller days, I did not go along with their narrow-minded beliefs. I told them that I cannot understand how a loving and just God would condemn a person who had lived along the Amazon River in South America or in the “bush country” of Africa for his or her entire life and had never even HEARD of Jesus, to an eternity of torment and suffering. Upon hearing that, they offered NO explanation and left.

    Speaking only for myself, I do not need ANY pastor, Father or Rabbi to tell me what my sins are. I KNOW what they are (and my ex-wives also know). Every night before I go to sleep, I ask God to forgive me of my many sins. I HOPE that at the end of my days, God will have mercy on me, a sinner.

    In closing, I’d like to share a couple of my favorite Bible verses with you and anyone else who cares to read them. These are Jesus’ own words:

    “As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

    John 10:15-16

    Exactly WHO is to say that God, at the End of Days, is not going to gather up all righteous people, whether they be Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Lutherans, Native Americans, etc., and “bring them into the fold?”

    I believe that at the End of Days, there are going to be a LOT of people who will be in for a rude awakening – evangelistic pastors who fly around in their private jets & living in their mansions; lawyers & judges; doctors, politicians, bankers and others.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for reminding us that this is basic common sense: most people know the difference between plural and singular, so when Larry “Zion” Silverstein said “Pull it” in his infamous interview, he clearly meant “Demolish the WTC7 Building”, not “Pull the firefighters”.

    In any case, the point is moot: from early that morning, WTC7 was entirely emptied. Two Port Authority employees who went back inside were extracted from the windows, and the building was then abandoned.

    There never were any firefighters inside WTC7 to pull out, so Silverstein could only have given the order for controlled demolition,

    If building number 7 was wired with explosives for demolition, the perpetrators could not just leave it standing. That would have left loads of evidence. Therefore they could NOT not "pull it", even if a plane intended to strike it for cover never arrived. But it makes little sense that Silverstein or whoever would openly talk about it when it must have been a done deal.

    Grok,
    1. What was the context of when Larry Silverstein said of Building 7 to "pull it" on September 11, 2001? In building demolition that phrase is jargon for igniting the explosives. Could that have been his intention, or are there any better explanations?

    2. List all of Larry Silverstein's close friends who were victims of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Can you identify any pattern of absenteeism of Silverstein's close associates on 911 that might indicate foreknowledge? If so, explain.

    2. Scan all the Israeli news services for any mention of Ehud Barack in the month prior to the 911 mass murders. Compile a one page list of all Ehud Barack's activities during that period. And, specifically, can you determine why he was at BBC in London on the day of the attack?

    The sector of American Christianity who thinks Jews and Israel are great is Big Religion. They have television shows and glamorous clergy and marketing departments and they do A/B testing on growing their membership.

    There is one topic they avoid for the most part as near as I can tell: sin. The concept seems to have been scrubbed from their version. I once had a short fascination with Joel Osteen (it is the same fascination others seem to have with splatter movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and watched about ten or fifteen hours of his schtick.

    He did not mention sin one time that I could recall although it took me a couple of hours to pay close enough attention to make sure I noticed if it came up. He might have snuck it in there those first couple of hours but I am pretty sure he did not.

    Have you seen the Michael Franzese Son of Sam interview? Now Franzese is a man who is not a professional trained Christian and he is in mortal need of a large quantity of forgiveness. Even that man knows what the top priority item is.

    Replies: @anarchyst

    True Christianity went off the rails when it did not divorce the Old Testament from the “new covenant” in the New Testament.
    Even Martin Luther spoke out on the jews as being Christianity’s mortal enemy who would do anything to suborn Christianity.

    [MORE]

    “Sola Scriptura” is a flawed concept claiming that the Bible is the “inspired word of God” despite being written by MEN with their own political and social agendas. A good example is the “rights of kings and nobles” in which Christians are commanded to follow the dictates of their leaders. Ever hear of “prima noctus”? Under the King James Version of the Bible, Christians would be commanded to follow such a vile practice.
    It is Roman Catholicism that established the world’s modern-day universities, hospitals, and human care organizations, NOT Protestants.
    You see, Protestants differ from Catholics as they do not believe that temporal “good works” have any bearing on salvation–a major fault. Even if “good works” do not have spiritual necessity, they can’t hurt and can make the world a better place.
    Since “good works”are not necessary for salvation, a Protestant can be a ne-er-do-well person who has grievously sinned and abused others all of his life, and then on his deathbed profess his belief in Jesus Christ and will automatically be “saved”. I have a problem with that…
    Let’s move on to usury. Banned by the Catholic Church, Protestants cheerfully accepted usury as it was a vehicle for commerce which enabled the success of the jews as well.
    In the days of the “robber barons”, the united States of America was largely successful due to the Protestant (lack of) ethics, most builders of industry raking in millions in profits while ignoring the basic needs of those who made their success possible by their hard work. It was common to see these Protestant “captains of industry” do their damnedest to pay their employees as little as possible while raking in massive profits benefiting only themselves.
    Protestants still consider anyone who cannot be successful in business as suffering from a moral failing of their own doing, not due to outside circumstances.
    Catholic doctrine requires business owners to pay their workers fairly–not below subsistence wages. It is a sin not to do so. There is no comparable demand in Protestantism.
    These Protestant “captains of industry” attempted to redeem themselves by establishing “foundations” (which guarded their wealth, making it tax exempt) and indirectly countering their own Protestant belief that “good works” were not necessary for salvation.
    They always pleaded poverty to their employees while living grand lives themselves.
    This contributed to the rise of labor unions, which at first, were brutally suppressed.
    There were exceptions, such as Henry Ford, who almost single-handedly created the middle class by paying his employees well above “market wages” of the day. His $5.00 per day wage was not entirely altruistic as it was also instituted to stem “turnover” as assembly line work was monotonous, but his writings have stated that one of his objectives was to make it possible for workers to “enjoy the fruits of their labor”.
    The Protestant Reformation resulted in the legalization of usury, the establishment of the debt based financial system and central banks which has enabled the usurers to accumulate so much wealth and power that they can impose their NWO.
    The Reformation resulted in cartel capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism, two world wars which resulted in the decimation of the European (white) peoples by the jews and WASPS acting as muscle for the bankers, and various genocides and the dystopian difficulties that are a part of modern civilization.
    That being said, Catholics are not “off the hook” either. The sale of indulgences (a supposed “fast track” to salvation) was an egregious disgusting abuse of power. A sad fact is that “indulgences” in the Catholic Church still exist today. As divorce is prohibited by the Catholic Church, indulgences are used by Catholic clergy to declare annulment, that “a valid marriage never existed” between a Catholic couple, even if those who seek annulment have been married for decades. The larger the “contribution”, the faster the decision on annulment.
    The “Vatican II Ecumenical Council” was a power grab by jews and Protestants which was largely successful in crippling the Catholic Church. Fortunately, there are Catholic sects that subscribe to pre-Vatican II principles, despite attempts by the “Novus Ordo” Church to wipe them out.
    Protestants are good people who have brought much good to civilization. However, Protestant acceptance of and deference to jewish control has done much to damage our civilization.
    I welcome intelligent discourse on this subject. Many thanks.

  • @Priss Factor

    What the Catholics who listened to Father Coughlin and Joe McCarthy understood is that the Reds wanted to kill and enslave them.
     
    It was perhaps a bit more complicated. In a way, communism was totally anti-religion. In another way, it was a secular extension of Christianity. Just like the founders of Christianity were Jewish, the founders of Marxist brand of communism were Jewish. It was a modern Jewish prophecy to come up with a formula that could finally bring about heaven on earth and finally brings Jews and Christians together as 'comrades'. Jews, who'd never warmed up to Christianity, found in communism a new and better means by which Jews and Gentiles could meld into one.

    Also, there was a long leftist strain in Catholicism, as well as a rightwing conservative one. The leftist strain was critical of worldly power and the compromises & hypocrisies of the church. The rightist strain emphasized hierarchy, tradition, and power. There's a new book out called AMERICA AMERICA by Greg Grandin and it begins with the Spanish conquest of the Americas and how the members of the Catholic Church were divided between those justifying Spanish power & exploitation(as civilizing mission) and those who harshly condemned Spanish brutality and the Church's virtual silence about the horrors. Prominently featured is a man called Las Casas.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartolom%C3%A9_de_las_Casas

    It seems Coughlin embodied both the leftist and rightist strains of Catholicism. He was anti-communist but he was also anti-capitalist, or at least anti-finance-capitalist, and his view of financiers wasn't all that different from those of Marxists. They were seen as parasitic.

    While Coughlin was staunchly anti-communist, there were strains of Catholicism that was sympathetic to Marxism or fused with Marxist philosophy, emerging as Liberation Theology in Latin America. And in post-war Italy, certain prominent figures like Pier Paolo Pasolini were both Marxist and Catholic. Marxist-Catholicism was kinda vogue in some circles. I recall Nightline debate in the 1980s between Pat Buchanan(representing rightwing Catholicism) and a Catholic priest who was for nuclear disarmament(or anti-Reagan). Some regarded this as leftist-communist infiltration of the Church. Others regarded as the Church finally living up to its true mission, which is social justice and equal dignity for all mankind. In THE GODFATHER PART III, the corrupt and greedy members of the Church(led by one who looks like Fauci), poison a warm-hearted newly elected pope. Stone's SALVADOR implies the Church and the communists are on the same side: that of the people. Roberto Rossellini, the most important neo-realist director, made the explosive OPEN CITY where a Catholic priest works together with a communist against the Nazi occupation.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC7-UmFThQg

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmHCB1QVQA

    To better appreciate Coughlin's history, we need to remember that Catholicism then wasn't what it became later. Even up to 1960, there were plenty of people who thought Kennedy was hopeless as candidate because of his religion. Since then, Catholics have reached the highest ranks in all walks of life, but there was a time when Catholics, as important as they were as a demographic and cultural force, was still regarded with suspicion, even loathing, by the ruling elites. American Catholicism has pretty come to define conservatism intellectually. Catholic conservatives became prominent in the Supreme Court. When Mainline churches were all turning fey, Catholicism seemed relatively grounded and based. However, leftists also made big inroads into the church, and today Catholics today are about evenly divided between GOP and the Democrats. But because rightwing Catholics tend to keep up with the practices and rituals whereas liberal Catholics are CINO(catholics in name only), Catholicism is still associated with the Right. This may have changed with the recently deceased Devil Pope. The hope of the globalists is to alter the character of the church from within. Not that these globalists want a truly leftist church as it will denounce the rich and powerful, as well as the Zionists doing mass murder in Gaza. What they want is someone like the Devil Pope, a crypto-homo agent. A Soros-ized church that does the bidding of the CIA and globohomo Zion.

    Anyway, it certainly didn't help that, in the first half of the 20th century, the center of Catholicism was in Italy, or more precisely fascist Italy until the defeat of Mussolini. Even though the Lateran Pact ensured Church autonomy from the state, there was a de facto alliance between secular fascist Mussolini and the Church, especially as Mussolini allowed the Church to have a major role in certain areas of cultural life.
    Also, this was time when many Christians believed fascism, for all its problems, was a useful bulwark against communism. After all, fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany backed the Catholics in the Spanish Civil War. When Russia was taken over by Bolsheviks and when leftist agitators and the working class were creating strife with strikes and street violence, it seemed fascists were the lesser evil in Christian, especially Catholic, eyes. Hitler himself was of Catholic origin, and historians say he drew elements from Catholicism in his use of pageantry. And some historians say the Vatican was in cahoots with the Nazis during World War II. There's even a book HITLER'S POPE.
    Young Catholics like Pat Buchanan grew up being told that the fascists, though far from ideal, were standing up for Western Civilization and Christianity against godless communism(and their agents in the West, not least in the US itself).

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08rt_-6ldgo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3McA3KDI_M

    But Coughlin's problem was he was half-leftist all his life. Had he been fully rightist, he would have just taken orders from higher above, done his duty, stuck with hierarchy. But the leftist-populist side of him agitated for the masses against the elites. It was this defiant leftist side of him in combination of his rightist anti-communism that made him such a volatile figure. Even though the 'leftist' FDR administration did him in, it's likely that rightist Catholic hierarchy was relieved to be rid of him as his leftist-populism was a challenge to Church authority.
    It's like the GOP was happy to work with Democrats to sideline Trump in 2020. His populism had leftist anti-elitist element that didn't sit with well the Establishment GOP types.

    And Jews and Liberals feared hierarchical rightism far less than populist rightism. The right that's all about the rich and the privileged can easily be sidelined. In 2012, Romney's hope was dashed because he was Mr. Bane, the man representing the corporate elite. Even though Democrats also cater to the rich and powerful, they could always characterize the GOP as even bigger whores to corporate interests. But Trump upended that by pandering to the working class and talking about America First and defending US workers, taking a page from Michael Moore. Pat Buchanan was also most hated when he tried to make the GOP attentive to the needs of the US working class in small towns. FDR's three victories owe to the successful portrayal of the Republicans as the rich man's party(during the Great Depression). Whether the New Deal worked or not, the idea was that the Democrats were trying to do something whereas the Republicans only cared about the rich.

    Catholic doctrine requires employers to pay their employees fairly, something that unbridled capitalism does not always promote.
    The rbber barons always looked for ways to reduce labor costs while living extravagant lives themselves. Always pleading poverty, unfairly reducing wages, even when they could easily pay their workers more.
    This one aspect of Father Coughlin’s message is one that most people miss.
    One exception was Henry Ford, who DID pay his employees well above the average wages of the day.
    Father Coughlin rallied against the “robber barons” who were already seeing their power diminished.

    Another brilliant essay. I would seriously like to see Ron Unz dedicate an entire American Pravda article to Donald Trump. I've been reading David Cay Johnston's 2016 biography of the man as well as well as David Enrich's 2020 book "Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction," and I've been dumfounded by Trump's corruption.

    Trump has been a documented amoral grifter for decades. If Ron Unz won't write about him I think Hua Bin should.

    The glaring missing biography would have been an Unauthorized Biography of Donald J. Trump which Webster G. Tarpley Phd. did not write, though having been a co-author of the historically important Unauthorized Biography of George W. Bush and followed later by the Unauthorized Biography of Barack Hussein Obama, books which serious researchers should read as there are historical items and connections made, of the type that Mr. Unz is doing with the Pravda Series, which
    are worth for review.

    Likely it was a lawsuit by Melania Trump against Mr. Tarpley , that he settled, in a questionable capitulation that reeks of intimidation against independent thinkers that is a probable cause the cause of his mad switch from being the first important figure seeking to stop a forecast war with Russia should Obama become elected, which did come true as was warning expressed in the Unauhorized Biography of Obama and Obama: The Postmodern Coup, a stance against the doctrine of carving Russia into little pieces, to now the utter insanity of supporting the war against Russia.

  • The problem in America is that people don’t know the truth about history because they are focused on things like superficial entertainment, in fact, people have dedicated most of their lives to be entertained. This obsession with entertainment falls right into the hands of the Jewish power structure, since they are the ones who create most of this entertainment. This is why Jews dominate the entertainment industry, because they know if they can keep the gentiles entertained. They can also manipulate them into believing superficial entertainment is more important than truth or reality. And this is why people don’t seek out the truth, because they just don’t have the time, they are to busy seeking out entertainment instead.

    1. It's interesting that Coughlin came under pressure in 1939, the year when World War II supposedly began. (1941 is the proper year because, had Germany not invaded Russia followed by Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the war would have remained a local European affair, mainly between Germany vs UK.)
    Anyway, it's interesting because the International Left was anti-war during those two years. Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact made Germany and the USSR partners-in-crime, and the Moscow Line was neutrality for communists around the world. Don't side with Germany but don't side with the capitalists against Germany either.
    This led to a rift within the American Left. The American communist party followed the Moscow Line and often attacked FDR as a warmonger for ramping up tensions with Germany. The famous folk singer Woody Guthrie at this time excoriated FDR. Granted, some American leftists were outraged by Stalin's betrayal, and some left the movement altogether.

    https://www.johnjdwyer.com/post/woody-hero

    https://fascinatingpolitics.com/2023/05/16/american-radicals-1-woody-guthrie/

    Guthrie also wrote a song in support of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact (which convinced many American communists to abandon the party) as well as the Soviet invasion of Poland. Guthrie also opposed FDR granting loans to Finland to counter Soviet aggression as well as American involvement in World War II right up until Operation Barbarossa, a stance that perfectly aligned with that of Stalin and the CPUSA. Indeed, Guthrie was supportive of Stalin and never renounced him.

    So, from 1939 to 1941 when Germany invaded Russia, FDR would have been opposed by anti-war voices from both the Right and the Left. 'Nazi-sympathizers' didn't want US to cause harm to Germany, and the 'Commie-sympathizers' didn't want US to cause harm to Russia.

    During those years at least, men like Coughlin and men like Guthrie, for all their ideological differences, would have been on the same page on matters of foreign policy.

    But then, the German invasion of Russia once again united the Left, Stalinists and anti-Stalinists against Nazi Germany, and then the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor united the American Right with the American Left in the Good War, perhaps 'good' in that there was something in it for everyone. For the leftists, it was a way to destroy those evil fascists. For the rightists, it was a way to punish the 'Japs'. 'Commies' and 'racists' united in the 'good' cause.

    2. While Jews were disproportionately represented(vastly) in the Soviet leadership, the greatest crimes of Bolshevism happened under Stalin who was not Jewish. And even though Yuri Slezkine convincingly argues that the Great Purge wasn't really anti-Jewish(as individuals of all ethnic backgrounds were eliminated), the end-result was that the uppermost ranks were no longer decisively Jewish. Kaganovich was the only Jew at the very top. While Stalin appreciated Jewish ability and talent at lower levels, perhaps he found them too competitive within the inner circle.

    Soviet death rates might have been much lower without Stalin at the helm. Lenin, ruthless as he was, lacked the stone cold heart of Stalin. When the economic policies failed, Lenin turned to NEP or New Economic Policy based on moderation and pragmatism. Had Lenin not grown ill and lived, had he ruled for 20 or 30 more years, Bolshevism might still have been repressive and bloody but not a 'mass murder' operation that it became under Stalin. Stalin's greatest crime was the forced collectivization of agriculture that led to the highest death toll, mostly by famine, estimated to be around 7 million, with half happening in Ukraine.
    Or, had Lenin died and was succeeded by Jews instead of Stalin, things might have been different. Trotsky was a firebrand but there were others who were less radical, more humane. During the Gorbachev era, one of the canonized figures was Bukharin(not Jewish to be sure) as a reminder of what the USSR might have been had it not gone the Stalinist route.

    https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1960/1980s/1988/article/chapter-eight-economic-policy-and-development/no-1004-april-1988/rehabilitation-bukharin/

    https://www.wsws.org/en/special/library/fi-15-2/02.html

    Of course, we'll never know for sure. There's the possibility that Trotsky and other Jews might have been even bloodier than Stalin. Some say Stalin, instead of removing the moderates, got rid of the most radical and subversive elements in order to build the Soviet Union with less internecine ideological struggles, a big problem when the party was split in endless bickering and court intrigue between Stalinists and Trotskyites. In that sense, Stalinism did provide stability.
    There's also an indication that Trotsky might have also have pushed for forced collectivization. In exile, he supported the program and, if anything, complained that Stalin didn't go far enough.

    Still, most of the mass killings happened under Stalin, and he bears the most responsibility. Though a collectivist ideology, individual whim came to matter a great deal in communist systems.
    It's almost certain that the mass deaths wouldn't have happened in Communist China had Mao died in 1958. Men like Zhou Enlai and Liu Shao Chi would not have brought about the Great Leap Forward, during which 95% of all the deaths during the communist period. Had China skipped that disaster, CCP would be guilty of a lot of things but not mass deaths. Also, without Mao, there certainly wouldn't have been the mad Cultural Revolution. So, it was not inevitable that communism would be so murderous. It was so because of Mao in China.
    And the same may have been true of the USSR. Had the Soviet Union opted for someone other than Stalin, there might have been no mass deaths. Communist systems were repressive and brutal everywhere but most communist countries didn't experience mass deaths.
    But then Eric Hobsbawn rationalized Stalin's rapid industrialization(at huge human cost) as having won the war against Nazi Germany. (But if there hadn't been mass deaths under communism, there might have been less fear in the West that led to support for fascist movements as bulwark against the red menace.)

    Had Jewish Bolsheviks ruled instead of Stalin, would things have been socially fairer? Stalin, for all his faults, did rule a more or less colorblind empire. While certain ethnic groups were targeted for relocation and special persecution, it had more to do with political fears/paranoia than ethnic hatred. Stalin moved Koreans in Northeast Asia to Uzbekistan because he feared they might collaborate with the Japanese. He moved the Volga Germans out of fear of Germany(and it's true enough that Ost-Germans happily worked with the invading Germans). Otherwise, Stalin's Russia was an equal-opportunity empire for most groups and, in time, ethnic Russians of humble backgrounds rose up the ranks.

    Would things have been the same with Jewish leadership? Or would Jews have rigged the system to favor their own kind? It seems that the early Jewish Bolsheviks, ruthless and cruel as many of them were, were genuinely invested in the revolution. This may be true of Jewish leftists well into the 60s around the world. David Horowitz who died recently was a red diaper baby. He later turned rightwing and Zionist, but he seems to have been a genuine egalitarian universalist communist in his youth, championing blacks and opposing the Vietnam War out of genuine idealism, misplaced though it might have been.
    Also, there seems to have been a good deal of intermarriage in the Soviet Union, far more so among Jews than in the US during the same period. (It was after the 60s that American Jewish intermarriage rates shot up sky high.)
    Perhaps, had it not been for Jewish success and power in the capitalist West, the Soviet Jews might have been less disillusioned with communism. But with Jews gaining such wealth and power in the West, esp the US, Soviet Jews could only feel 'oppressed' as communism offered them equality than privilege. Even though Soviet Jews did better than most groups, there was a strict ceiling to how far they could rise, not so much because of 'antisemitism' but because of the nature of communism itself.

    Well UR readers, who are we to believe?
    Lets start with this tidbit Mulga posted in her last comment:

    In any case, as we can see from South Australia, in the grip of the deepest drought and rain deficiency recorded, with algal blooms devastating the marine ecosystems, farmers suiciding and crops dying, the end is drawing nigh.

    For the benefit of U.S readers, South Australia is one of Australia’s six states (we additionally have two territories).
    The overwhelming land mass of this state is dry and parched, with very little rain fall even in the ‘good’ years. And it has been thus my entire life (I’m a boomer).

    Mulga claims S.A is in ‘the grip of the Deepest Drought’, so it’s quite the coincidence that the article in the link below titled ‘Rare flooding event creates striking oasis in outback South Australia’ should show up today:

    UR readers, you’re not looking at a photo of a tropical island in the South Pacific.
    That’s a photo from the dry [verging on lifeless] outback of Australia.

    Summary: Mulga gets all manner of information from her rabid Green Zealotry sources (like the Extinction Rebellion lunatics), and she swallows whatever they tell her without doing the due diligence.
    Mulga is too lazy to read what the honest Not-Beholden-to-ZOG actual scientists are saying.
    She relies totally on the output of the few hundred* pseudo-scientists that peddle the Global Warming alarmism.

    (*Silly girl that she is, Mulga keeps trotting out the debunked assertion that there are tens of thousands of ‘scientists’ that are propagating the Climate armageddon B.S).
    We KNOW this is not true. We know the exact opposite is the truth.
    ie: that tens of thousands of credentialled scientists with integrity have called out the Climate Fraud being perpetrated – the fraud I refer to is the claim that man-made CO2 emissions are having a substantive effect on the Earth’s average temperature.

    If Mulga had even a smidgen of a moral compass, she’d concede that the Anthropogenic Global Warming fable is untenable. All reliable data refutes it emphatically.
    But Mulga is not a principled individual. She’ll keep peddling this lie to the bitter end.
    (And with that mindset of hers, the end will be bitter indeed, as she goes to her grave knowing that everything she believed and had faith in, was just a monstrous lie).

It grows crops only on a southern section where winter rains are generally reliable. Its rainfall, over that southern section, and the State as a whole, has NEVER been lower than in the last fifteen months, and markedly deficient for a couple of years, hence a calamity for farmers and graziers, whose desperate plight worries the libertarian psychopath not one iota.

    I am a Scientist, who worked in industry most of my career in many different areas, in product development. What is described in this article has been going on for a very long time. For a time, I worked at Alcoa. Visiting the Knoxville, TN plant I was surprised that the old rolling mills were built by a company called 'United States ... something (can't remember)', while all the new, computer controlled, automated mills were built by Toshiba. These are colossal machines. That worried me, and it was in 1990.

    Replies: @Brad Anbro

    Steve,

    For a time (8-1/2 years) I also worked for Alcoa. It was at a factory in Beloit, Wisconsin. Beloit is just across the state line from the Rockford, Illinois (90 miles west of Chicago) area. The Alcoa factory manufactured aluminum wheels for GM, Ford, Chrysler and Honda cars & light trucks. I worked many years in the foundry, which had 30 low-pressure die-casting machines, made by Plume, in England.

    Shortly before the factory closed up permanently, the company removed 2 of the die-casting machines. This was when they could not keep up with production requirements. We suspected that the machines were moved to China, where the Chinese would use these machines as “patterns,” for copying the designs and building new die-casting machines.

    I was an electrician there and the ONLY reason why I worked there was because I couldn’t find any other job as an electrician at any of the local factories. I absolutely hated every minute, but stayed there, because the job paid well and had good benefits. It was a union factory – United Auto Workers representation.

    I had heard “horror stories” about that place before I had even applied for a job there. The plant used to be called Reynolds, but now it was Alcoa. I had “hoped” that with the new name, things might be better. WRONG!

    [MORE]

    When being interviewed for the job, the plant “automation guru” was sitting in on the interview. I had known him, as we had both started at my previous employer’s (A.O. Smith Automotive Products) at the same time and, in fact, had attended an Allen-Bradley PLC (programmable logic controllers) school at the same time.

    Anyway, the supervisor asked me if I had worked with PLCs at my previous employer. I told him that I had worked with them, as A.O. Smith had three production lines; two were fully automated, using Allen-Bradley PLCs and the third was partially automated. My former co-worker nodded his head in agreement.

    The supervisor then asked me if I did mechanical work there. I knew EXACTLY what he was getting at, because I had “heard” that Alcoa expected their maintenance workers to do BOTH electrical AND mechanical work. I told him that the ONLY time I ever did mechanical work was when I couldn’t get a mechanic to take care of a problem and if it was a simple one, I’d do the w3ork myself, just to get production going again. My former co-worker again nodded his head.

    The supervisor then went on to explain to me how they had a 60-cent or an 80-cent per hour “bonus” for employees who could perform both kinds of work. I looked the supervisor in the eye and told him that I HAD NO INTEREST IN COLLECTING ANY BONUS for performing mechanical work, that I was an electrician and an electrician’s job was what I was being interviewed for. The supervisor then said “OK.”

    The first day on the job, guess what I found out? That I WAS EXPECTED to do BOTH electrical and mechanical work! I let it be known that I was hired as an electrician and that I was NOT going to p0erform ANY mechanical work. Of course, that put me on the company’s “shit list” right away. They did not fire me, but they did their best to make working there unpleasant for me.

    My previous employer, A.O. Smith Automotive Products Company had a plant electrical engineer’ who was the Maintenance Supervisor’s son. He was much younger than me, but was a very likeable guy. He had obtained a college degree and worked at A.O. Smith in the summer, while going to college. I learned much from him, as he was well versed in PLCs, in hydraulics and in robotic welding. He was easily the most valuable person in the place!

    The company (A.O. Smith) sent him over TO CHINA, to oversee the construction of a new frame plant in China. I know this for a fact, because I received letters from China, informing me as to the progress of the new plant there in China.

    A.O. Smith was scheduled to close in the future, as the company had lost General Motors’ new contract for the “next generation” of frames to another company. So I decided to quit there and got a job at a Rockford factory that made chewing gum. The people there were very nice, but I didn’t like the work. I was used to being in the middle of action and noise, and having my services in high demand. So I quit and went back to A.O. Smith.

    After I left the chewing gum factory and came back to A.O. Smith, it was no longer A.O. Smith and there was a sign in front of the building which read “Tower Automotive.” After being re-hired, the head electrician asked me if I knew that the place was under new management and I told him that I had seen the new sign in front of the building. He asked me what I though of that and I simply replied, “Not much.”

    He asked me why I was dismayed at the new ownership and I told him, “Think about it, Mike. You have a company that had been manufacturing frames since Henry Ford’s Model T and if ANY company knew how to manufacture frames and make money at it, it was A.O. Smith and now A.O. Smith has sold their Automotive Products division to a new company. What does that tell you? That there is no money to be made in being a “Tier One” supplier to the automotive industry.”

    Tower Automotive was a start-up company formed by some “hot-shot” investors (using DEBT) and they were going to “make a killing” as a Tier One automotive supplier. Shortly after the Rockford plant closed up permanently, Tower Automotive FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY.” So much for them “making a killing” being a World Class Tier One automotive supplier.

    A.O. Smith had spent MILLIONS OF DOLLARS equipping the Rockford plant to manufacture truck frames. All of the equipment was “top notch” – the Allen-Bradley PLCs; the Vickers hydraulics controls; the Oil Gear hydraulic units; the Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) robotic welding equipment and the Miller welding power supplies.

    I worked there until the last day of production. It was like going to my own funeral, as it was the best job that I’d ever had. The work was interesting, they kept needed parts in stock with which to facilitate repairs and the management really appreciated the dedication and expertise of their electricians.

    After the facility closed, the hydraulic power units went back to the company from which they were leased. General Motors SCRAPPED all of the production fixtures and since the building had been rented, they just walked away from it. WHAT A WASTE!

    Right before the Tower plant closed up, I was working 2nd shift and had gone into the office, to use the telephone and let my (then) fiancé know that I’d made it to work OK. After my call, I was walking back out to the production area. I was stopped by my boss and was asked to follow him. We went into the plant manager’s office and I thought, “What the hell? Are they going to fire me for making a phone call? For God’s sake, the plant is scheduled to close up!”

    Anyway, we went in there and the plant manager was in there, as well as the liaison for the GM plants, and my boss. They told me to sit down and then closed the door. The plant manager asked me if I knew why I was there and I said, “To get yelled at for using the phone?” They all laughed and the plant manager said that I could leave a quarter on his desk when I left.

    I was presented a check for $1,000 (less tax deductions) as recognition of my service to the company during my employment. They told me that the check was their way of thanking me for my dedication to production and my talents of being a skilled electrician. They all took turns saying nice things about me. I asked them if I could say something and was told to say whatever I wanted. I told them that I didn’t deserve that money, that the company had paid me very well and that there were times when I could’ve done more than I did. They told me that I was being too modest and then asked me to keep the check, which I did.

    I’m sorry for making this reply so long, but I just wanted to let you in on a couple of experiences that I had while being employed as an electrician IN INDUSTRY. Being an electrician for 40+ years and seeing all of the plant closings and downsizings that I have witnessed, I feel that things are absolutely HOPELESS for our country.

    It is also my opinion that everything going on here in the United States IS PLANNED. (((They))) want to remove ALL production from the USA and turn the country into a “playground” for the rich. (((They))) are intent on creating a One World fascist government, with a few at the top, owning and controlling everything. And the ones remaining, that is, the ones who are ALLOWED TO LIVE, will live in abject SLAVERY.

    “enetered” – you mean ENTERED? “befit” – you mean BENEFIT?

    Apparently you are so busy typing that you can’t be bothered with correct spelling.

    Insofar as your statement about a central banking system is concerned, perhaps you should devote some time and effort to some historical research. The ONLY “system” that central banking has normalized is the system of THEFT from the American people and the people in the rest of the so-called “civilized” world, whose countries are infected with the same fraudulent banking system.

    I will be 74 years old next month and after relocating here to NE Tennessee 7 years ago, I obtained a mortgage for my residence. I “could” have paid cash for the residence, except that I would have incurred a huge income tax liability had I redeemed my IRAs to do so.

    The purchase price of my residence was $295,000 and I made a down payment of $150,000 – that was CASH; money that I had EARNED by working as an industrial electrician, engaging in HONEST WORK. Where did the $145,000 that I borrowed come from? It came from NOWHERE it was just a number on someone’s computer screen – borrowed “money” (debt).

    My next month’s payment will be $278.89 towards the principal and $481.14 IN INTEREST. That interest money is basically THEFT – money that was not earned by the mortgage company from doing honest work.

    If, during the life of the mortgage, I miss a few payments, the mortgage company can foreclose on the house, take possession of it AND my $150,000 down payment. When they started out with NOTHING (except debt) to begin with. All legal. And what gives them the right to legally steal my money? The Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

    If you do decide to do some REAL historical research on our country’s banking system, you will find that the banking system which you admire so much has been responsible for EVERY depression, every recession, every financial “bubble and the inflation that has taken place since the creation of the Federal Reserve.

    Since entering the work force on a full-time basis in 1969, I have WITNESSED the purchasing power of the dollar fall 90% – thanks to a banking system which you admire so much.

    Thank you.

    I appreciate you reminding me to pay close attention to the technical aspects of writimng. No issues.


    What I said goes to standards across boundaries that are the same. That is what standardized means. That a set of rules are constant for the systems in place. And that helps maintain some stability across those same boundaries. Your comment about theft is generic, what it does not do is indicate how the standardization of the monetary system aides in the theft you claim. It is more likely the opposite. That when those standards are bent, ignored, appied to special intersts that malfiecient behavior becomes more likely. So in response, I would contend, less bending of the standards to suit players, special interests.

    Fraud is an indication that the standards you denounce have not been adhered. It's not the standards, it's that corrupt conduct. Two very different animals. Seems reductive to blame the standards as opposed to the violation of the same. It's akin to blaming the law against theft for theft ---

    But it does explain the libertarian rational, "people are breaking the law" "laws are corrupt" libertarian solution "get rid of the law".


    -----

    No. the money that was lent to cover the difference was actually derived from the funds of other in the bank. It's not made up. It's someone else's hard earned money and when they loan that to you they are charging a fee for the lent money a return on their investment to you. And several times in history those loan payments went unpaid and the result well --- 2007/8 are the most recent examples. Of course there was the overvalued stock properties that were a major source of the problems.

    So your comment that you could have paid the house note in full cash makes no sense. If in fact you wanted to save money --- just pay the whole note. And for the record, I bet you could have negotiated that price down signigfigantly by offering a cash out full all in --- and not saved the loan fees, actually lowered the price of the entire property, thereby lowering property taxes, if you have property tax.

    Now I agree, there are fees that are tacked on as service fees that don't make sense save to serve the cost of business into someone else's pocket.


    ---

    "My next month’s payment will be $278.89 towards the principal and $481.14 IN INTEREST. That interest money is basically THEFT – money that was not earned by the mortgage company from doing honest work."


    Well if you are a capitalist them you should know the product owner -- gets to set the price. You can agree, disagree, bargain . . . or simply reject the sale. Frankly, I don't get it --- why take out a mortgage if you don't have to -- makes no sense. The answer to your complaint was inyour hands and you chose that which you object to --- pretty weak case. No one was forcing the matter. There was no judge manuipulating on behalf the other party. No realtor, was standing before the bank telling falsehoods and misleading the players . . .


    It makes no sense for someone who can pay out a home to take a needless mortgage -- even to build credit. With alittle effort, someone in the bracket you suggest could have found a home for the price of tax or mortgage lien in any state in the US or perhaps any country. Which is even a better saving tactic.

    There is BIG MONEY behind the problems that now face Sweden and, in my opinion, it is NOT because of their socialist form of government.
     
    Brad, I agree with you that Sweden's problems cannot be blamed on Socialism.
    And the reason for that is simple:
    SWEDEN AND THE OTHER SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES ARE NOT SOCIALIST.
    The literal definition of a Socialist system is one where GUBMINT OWNS THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION.

    In other words, countries like the Soviet Union, East Germany, Mozambique, North Korea, Albania (under the dictator Enver Hoxha) etc, these were Socialist systems.
    And they had one thing in common - they were all FAILURES.

    In Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries, the Private Sector owns the near entirety of the Means of Production.
    And the private entities in those countries are FILTHY RICH and pay LOWER CORPORATE TAX RATES THAN THE RICH DO IN AMERICA.
     
    Sweden has some Big Mother Multi-National corporations (like Atlas Copco, Saab-Scania, Volvo, Ericsson etc).
    Make no mistake, the top 1% in Sweden are raking in the bucks and businesses pay nowhere near the rates of tax that the Swedish middle classes do.
    Ask your Swedish friend about that Brad, and you'll see that this is indeed the case.
    Click on the following link and see for yourself:
    https://taxfoundation.org/blog/swedens-corporate-rate-13-points-lower-ours-and-going-lower/

    As you can see, that lower corporate tax rate is not just one or two percentage points lower.
    Sweden's corporate tax rate is THIRTEEN PERCENTAGE POINTS LOWER than in America.
    What Sweden (and the other countries in that region) have is a CRADLE TO GRAVE WELFARE SYSTEM that includes Medicare for All and various other welfare largesse.

    Now, many leftists believe that Sweden and countries like it are STICKING IT TO THE RICH and making them fund all these generous welfare entitlements.
    But THAT IS NOT TRUE (as I've shown you with the evidence above).
    What Sweden does is TAX* THE HELL OUT OF THE MIDDLE CLASS to pay for this welfare state and Big Gubmint.

    (*Did you buy any alcoholic beverages while you were in Sweden Brad?
    Did you put some petrol in the rented car you drove?
    If you did you would've been stung with the high prices relative to what you pay in the U.S).

    Summary: Many people will bring up the NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) of Hitler's Germany as an example of alleged 'Socialist success'.
    And, seeing as the 'S' in that acronym stands for 'Socialist', they will say that Germany's economic miracle in the 1930's was due to Socialism.
    THAT IS INCORRECT.

    The only reason Hitler included the word Socialist in the acronym to describe his party, is because he knew there were many Socialist/Communist sympathisers amongst the German electorate.
    (FFS, Germany has very nearly fallen to a Communist uprising in the immediate post WWI years).
    It was nothing more than a shrewd political manoeuvre - to attract those voters and give them the impression that his parry would 'Stick it to the Oligarchs'.

    In Hitler's Germany the state did not own the means of production. Mega corporation like Krupp (today trading as ThyssenKrupp on the German DAX), Siemens, Bayer, Lufthansa and countless others, were private sector industrial giants that Hitler schmoozed up to.
    The means of production in Hitler's Germany was owned overwhelmingly by the Private Sector.

    That is why Germany was as successful as it was ONCE IT HAD EXTRICATED ITSELF FROM THE ORBIT OF ZOG USURY
     
    .
    Once the German financial system was no longer being asphyxiated by the tentacles of the Vampire Squid (aka the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel - operating out of the Square Mile in the City of London), Germany was unshackled from Talmudic exploitation.
    Soon thereafter Germany was firing on all cylinders.

    So Brad, despite Sweden slipping down the rankings post WWII (in per capita GDP terms) once it adopted the high taxing Big Gubmint Welfare State mentality, it nevertheless was MORE CAPITALISTIC THAN THE U.S from a business perspective - hence the reason why Sweden still enjoys a pretty good standard of living and you don't see hordes of tent cities and homeless sleeping under bridges like you do in the Socialist trending U.S.

    The system in Sweden allows the private sector to GENERATE WEALTH and CREATE JOBS by not subjecting it to the taxes/regulatory impediments that American businesses are subjected to.

    That is the reality Brad. Be careful when listening to those rabid leftists that claim Sweden and neighbouring countries are Socialist. They most assuredly ARE NOT.

    I am going back to Sweden at the end of June and will again be there for 3 weeks, staying with my very wise ham friend and his wife. I will be doing very little of the “tourist” things, but will concentrate on meeting many of my Swedish ham friends, learning about their beautiful country and of course, enjoying their EXCELLENT food.

    Their food, unlike the food here in the USA, is NOT adulterated and they all know how to cook! I will also be operating my friend’s excellent ham radio station and since Europe is in their “back yard,” there will be no shortage of other hams with whom to make contact – using Morse code, as I almost always do.

    Tell it to the Danes, Swedes, and Finns.
     
    No need to tell them - they already know that excess Gubmint is failing them.

    Take Sweden for example. Prior to the middle of the 20th century it was a nation pursuing Capitalism and had minimal Gubmint. And needless to say it always figured amongst the top handful of nations in GDP per capita terms.
    But in the decades subsequent to WWII, Gubmint grew and Sweden experimented with the cradle to grave welfare state model.

    Needless to say, Sweden started slipping down the tables in terms of per capita GDP, and is well down from its former heights.
    To the extent that Sweden has not completely hit the skids is due to the fact that Swedan accumulated quite a reservoir of wealth/educational infrastructure etc from the days of yore (when Gubmint was squandering far less of that nation's wealth).

    And bear in mind also that Sweden has a relatively small population (10.5 million) covering a pretty large land mass (with bountiful resources and commodities for export).
    So that bumps up the bottom line and makes them appear better than they otherwise would had they not been blessed with those natural resources.

    Same goes for Norway (whom the Big Gubmint worshippers like you choose to reference).
    They were always one of the poorer nations of that region.
    But then they discovered North Sea oil in the late 1970's/early 80's - and their fortunes took a radical turn as that River of Riches they discovered more than made up for the squandering of Gubmint.

    T-V,

    I feel that I am somewhat knowledgeable concerning the “goings-on” in Sverige (Sweden). My father’s parents came to the USA from Sweden in the 1920s. Since becoming an amateur radio (ham radio) operator in 1981, I have had hundreds of contacts with Swedish ham radio operators. I have one Swedish ham friend that I have known for over 30 years. In the fall of 2019, I took a trip to Sweden and stayed with him and his wife for 3 weeks. He is slightly older than me and knows EXACTLY what has been and is going on in Sweden. He is a retired professional person, fluent in Swedish, English and German.

    I have an older lady friend back in Illinois, whose deceased male friend was a ham radio operator. Both were fluent in the Swedish language. She also knows EXACTLY what has been and is going on in Sweden. She keeps up on the news there via mainstream and alternative news websites, as well as by staying in contact with her relatives there (she was born in Sweden).

    Up until the “new age” politicians (mostly female) came into office there, Sweden’s socialist form of government worked very well for the majority of Swedish citizens. But in the last few years, Sweden has let into the country a large amount of Africans and Arabs and these groups are literally trashing the country. All because they were allowed to emigrate into Sweden by the politicians.

    In my 3 weeks there, I travelled throughout central and southern Sweden. The people there are nothing but astonishing. Absolutely no “road rage” – everyone uses their turn signals, there is no “tail-gating” and ALL of the drivers are courteous to their fellow motorists, unlike here in the United States.

    To say that I was impressed with the people of Sweden and their country would be an understatement. When it came time to come back to the United States, I did not want to come back. Sweden is infected with the same fraudulent and corrupt banking system as what we have here in the USA and in the rest of the so-called “civilized” world. There is BIG MONEY behind the problems that now face Seeden and, in my opinion, it is NOT because of their socialist form of government. It is because of the Big Money that has corrupted Swedish politics.

    Tack så mycket!

    I detest the privatization of American prisons.
     
    No doubt both you (and I) can come up with similar privatisations that went pear shaped and resulted in higher prices/worse service for customers and taxpayers, than when they were Gubmint owned it.

    And Mr/Ms Fatty, why do you suppose that is?
    It's because in every case where this occurred, the new owner of the publicly owned institution or utility was bestowed with a MONOPOLY.
    (And often sold for cents on the dollar of what it was really worth).

    Public assets should never be sold to anyone if it entails that the new owner has no competitors and can charge like a wounded bull.
    Capitalism, by definition, is all about FIERCE COMPETITION in a market without barriers and impediments to new entrants.
    Competitors must always be offered a level playing field, whereby they have the capacity to take away market share from the established players by offering a better product for less.

    If there is no customer choice, if customers are unable to choose another provider if the previous one overcharges/delivers poor service etc, then this is no longer Capitalism.
    Privatisation only works in the context of a market with few if any impediments (be they regulatory or otherwise).
     
    Understandably, in the case of a small town that has a single utility company providing electricity (for example) where it is not commercially viable for a second utility company to set up shop and compete, in a situation like that a privatisation can still be done if contractual agreements are made that ensures that the private electricity supplier meets certain benchmarks like:

    1) Electricity rates per kWh to be in line with that of other utility companies in adjoining counties or based on a state wide average.

    2) Penalties for prolonged blackouts and service disruptions (in the case of slow responses to put the power back on in the aftermath of a natural disaster like a tornado/storm etc).

    If the private company cannot provide these assurances, then the privatisation should not proceed.
    What we have in the U.S is corrupt politicians that are ripping off their constituents by selling public assets in bad deals that end up impoverishing the citizenry in the final analysis.

    As for the American National Park system you speak of, it may well be delivering a product that you're satisfied with. But at what cost?
    Let's put a dollar figure on how much it costs state and Federal Gubmints to keep the parks running at the present levels of efficiency/cleanliness etc.
    (And then divide it by the number of visits that park has in any particular year)
    How much is it costing EACH user of the parks and then each taxpayer?

    What if turned out it was costing each taxpayer $150 per year. (ie: $15 billion per year to maintain, divided by 100 million visitations* per year).
    (*Notice how wrote 'visitations' and not visitors? That's because there may only be perhaps 20-30 million individual visitors, most of whom may only visit the park once or twice per year. Meanwhile there are other that visit it 5-10 times per year and are thus the ones responsible for the bulk of the visitations).

    But, by comparison, once privatised it may only cost $10 per visit/per day to enter the National Park.
    And, if the average park user only visited it say five times per year, that's a yearly total of $50.
    In other words, assuming the Gubmint sent each taxpayer a $100 payment each year (for money saved), that would still mean that the average park user was $50 ahead.
    Meanwhile, those that never used the park would be $100 ahead.

    My contention is that the private sector could look after park visitors for less (and deliver an equivalent or even better product).
    Even after factoring in some fees that visitors would have to pay when entering a privately run National Park, it would still be less money paid out by park visitors than the Gubmint spends of taxpayers money to keep the National Parks in good order.

    More importantly, many taxpayers that don't use the services of the National Park are subsidising those that do.
    ie: they pay taxes, and a portion of their taxes go towards maintaining that National Park.
    Let's assume I'm a beach and water sport type of guy that never goes to a National Park, that never goes hiking in the park trails.
    Why should some of my taxes be going towards the upkeep of a land mass which I will never use in my lifetime?

    Hello V-T,

    Here is where we agree to disagree. I also detest the privatization of prisons. If I were “in charge,” the gov’t would be about 75% smaller. But I am vehemently against the privatization of “the commons,” such as lakes, rivers and parks. Speaking of parks, I just checked the cost of admission at the Sequoia National Park, in California – $20 for a carload of persons. Anyone who says that they can’t “afford” this might consider forgoing one a new tattoo, a piercing, a “nail treatment” or a wild hair coloring. The Sequoia trees are not found anywhere else in the world. So much for the “competition” argument.

    I don’t know what their exact status is today, but in the past, the privatization of the Chicago Skyway and the Indiana toll road have been disasters – shoddy maintenance and higher than necessary tolls.

    Again, I don’t know how things are today, but in years gone by, I have driven to California and back from northern Illinois – twice. The ONLY roads as bad or worse than Illinois roads were the roads in Oklahoma – Oklahoma also had toll roads. Having worked my entire life in northern Illinois, there was always intense “rivalry” between the citizens of Illinois and the citizens of Wisconsin.

    The citizens of Wisconsin would rightly (in my opinion) “thumb their noses” at the citizens of Illinois. As soon as one crossed the border from Illinois into Wisconsin, the roads miraculously improved, and Wisconsin had NO toll roads. Taxes in Wisconsin are admittedly higher than in Illinois, but the quality of life was (and is) much better. Unlike in Illinois, the people of Wisconsin get rid of the politicians who turn out to be bad ones.

    Two of the successes in the “government vs. privatization department” are the Tennessee Valley Authority and the city-owned cable TV & internet franchise in one of the larger cities here in Tennessee. I don’t know which city has the publicly owned utility, but the residents enjoy much more inexpensive cable TV and internet services than those provided by the for-profit supplier(s).

    I agree with you on many things, but as I have stated here on Unz before, I believe that ALL roads lead to tyranny – capitalism, communism, fascism libertarianism and socialism. That is, in my opinion, because of man’s inherent greed and lust for power. “All” types of government “could” work in theory, except that greed and lust for power have been the ruination of each of them. Here in the USA, we have had the most perfect (yet) political system, but greed and lust for power have ruined it. That is my opinion, anyway.

    Also, as I have stated here many times before, I believe that the best “system” is capitalism with government not being any larger than necessary, and with the proper safeguards in place to protect the people from the predator financial interests and the corporations. If anyone thinks that the “states” have the ability to look out for the people, he or she had better think again, as most all states are as corrupt as the federal government, in my opinion.

    Thank you.

If you mean, taking money out of, say, your local plumbing contractor's pocket, then I am inclined to agree; but how much poorer does it make society when one takes money out of, for instance, Paul Singer's pocket? Or Harvey Weinstein's? Or Bill Ackman's? (I would be glad to add gentiles to the list, for this comment was not particularly meant to be about Jews. However, at the moment, no gentiles come to mind.)

    I cannot prove it but tend to agree with Ron Unz: the top tiers of the American wealth pyramid seem to include many manipulative extractors that we'd all be better off without.

    Great point, with several quibbles:

    The great majority of Americans do NOT pay the very high excise taxes on tobacco and marijuana because they never consume those things.

    The great majority of Americans do NOT pay gift or estate tax either. The lifetime unified gift and estate tax exemption more than covers most of us.

    As for excise taxes on gasoline, how do you propose to pay for highways/roads that are not tolled? Should we have tolls on every road and render them unaffordable for many lower-income and hard for some middle-class people?

    As for social security tax, it might be alright if it went into an account legally belonging to the taxpayer and not to be stolen for another purpose.

    As for a tax to maintain the fund for unemployment insurance, disability, and in some States thankfully paid parental or caregiver leave, how is that unfair or unwise? We should have such insurances, and the tax to fund them is primarily just a premium for your own coverage.

    Still, despite the exaggeration, there are too many taxes and too high an overall burden for many of us in the 40th through about 95th percentile of household income.

    And a big chunk of those taxes go to pay for constant US wars, invasions, and occupations, and not one major war in our lifetimes has been legitimately defensive, retaliatory, or preemptively necessary. And to pay for the fourth of the federal government debt that is attributable to borrowing to bloat the war machine to absurd levels.

    I assume that you actively oppose all the empire’s wars, demand the closure of 700 of their military bases thousands of miles from our borders, and advocate for a 50-60% or greater reduction in military spending (saving $500 to $600 billion per year, reckoning from Fiscal Year 2026-27).

    Otherwise don’t complain about high taxes and high federal debt.

    As a person who lived in northern Illinois (Rockford area) my entire working life, I can assure you that the state of Illinois DOES NOT use the taxes collected on gasoline for maintenance purposes on their roads. All one has to do is to travel to Wisconsin and the roads miraculously improve. Illinois DOES HAVE toll roads and throughout the life of these toll roads, many lawyers have been disbarred, judges have been removed from the bench and individuals have been convicted and jailed for fraudulent business practices in conjunction with Illinois’ toll road system.

    I am now a resident of northeast Tennessee and no longer have to deal with the endemic corruption that continues to take place in Illinois.

  • Ellen Brown speaks of:

    … the unprecedented federal debt will continue to loom. Currently standing at $36.21 trillion

    Click on the link below and see the real time U.S debt clock:
    https://usdebtclock.org/

    It stands at around $36.83 trillion.
    So Ellen, it appears that you’re about 6 months (and more than half a trillion), behind the times.
    Not that Americans should be totally focused on this figure alone.
    For example, U.S taxpayers are on the hook for student debt (which stands at almost $1.8 trillion).
    But that figure is NOT INCLUDED in the $36.83 trillion National Debt.
    And that’s because the Student Debt is classified as an ‘Off Budget’ item – as are trillions of dollars of other Federal obligations on which interest is still payable.

    I noticed also on the Debt Clock that the debt per U.S citizen is about $107K.
    But the debt per taxpayer is MORE THAN TRIPLE at $323K.
    That tells me straight away that MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF AMERICANS PAY NO TAX*.
    (*And there’s no way that over two-thirds of Americans are school age children, retirees and those with disabilities etc).
    Clearly there are scores of millions of able bodied Americans who are parasites that are living off the largesse of the taxpayers.

    Interesting also, and something I’ve not seen appear before in the Debt Clock figures, is the DOGE Clock. And it appears to be going up – suggesting to the gullible that DOGE is constantly finding more fraud, waste and abuse to cut.
    But most of the purported DOGE cuts will not take place. And to the extent that some token cuts are indeed made, they will be offset one hundred times over by SPENDING INCREASES in other sectors (not least of which is the MISSS – Military Industrial Security Surveillance State).

    Only fools believe that DOGE was anything other than a publicity stunt.
    Donald Chump has been a big spending profligate Democrat his entire life.
    The only reason he ran on the GOP ticket was because the ZOG elders instructed him to do so.
    That’s what the ZOG dictated script said – and the Orang-U-tan always follows the script.

    Funny how this article pretends to be serious, yet ignores half our expenditures, the Military.

    Cut the military budget by 500 billion, how? Shut down all the bases in West Asia and China sea.

    Another, way to help the American working class is to convert their home equity, real dormant wealth, into US Treasury Bonds. The home owner promises to keep their home for the Treasury bond's term to maturity in exchange for a coupon payment every month. This should help increase income and reduce SS payments by means testing. When the Bond matures the homeowners can do as they please. This also helps the America's financial statements.

    As a people we need to realize, the rot from relentless vandalism by European Bankers is multifaceted and one silver bullet can't be the solution. What is required for a multifaceted problem, is a multifaceted solution.

    The United States can be adequately defended on a budget of 100 billion per year but since it's a tool of Israel and used to enforce $$ hegemony it endures. The solution is to be honest and pass a constitutional amendment whereas the Air Force is required to launch ballistic nuclear weapons at any country that refuses to use the $$ (excluding China, Russia, the Norks of course) and then cut 900 billion from the military and close all overseas bases

    The muh Israel crowd can have their churches and social media doxxed and once vetted as ZioCons, Evangelicals, etc can be drafted into an American-Israeli Judeo-Christian division and be stationed in Israel. This includes all Congressmen as well.

    The government and military are still too bloated ..... the government needs to be reduced by 90%
     
    Joe, you have a history of sensible commentary.
    And unsurprisingly you pinpoint the problem precisely - ie: Big Bloated Gubmint.

    With that in mind, let me share a story relating to something I read the other day.
    I was reading David Ray Griffin's book '9/11 Unmasked', and in Chapter 33 Griffin mentions a guy called Robert Andrews, who held the following position in Gubmint:.
    He was the:

    Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict.
     
    I kid you not. Imagine fitting that title on his office door.
    UR readers, I ask you to study that job description once more.
    ONLY in Big Gubmint could such a job title exist.
    Notice that this guy was the:

    i) Deputy Assistant ...... for LOW Intensity conflict.
    Which suggests to me that there is someone employed in Gubmint that handles HIGH Intensity conflict.
    (And for all we know there may well be someone tasked with the job of MEDIUM Intensity conflict).

    ii) Deputy Assistant .... for SPECIAL Operations.
    This would suggest that perhaps a similar job existed for 'GARDEN VARIETY' Operations. (ie: those operation that were not so special - just the typical operations you encounter every day).

    iii) PRINCIPAL Deputy Assistant ..... for high intensity conflict.
    I mean, why not just write 'Deputy Assistant' without the need for the word Principal preceding it?
    Obviously there are MORE THAN ONE Deputy Assistants.
    And this guy Robert Andrews was the PRINCIPAL one.
    Meaning he was the most important among them, the one with seniority.
    So obviously there must have been one or more SUBORDINATE Deputy Assistants as well.

    SUMMARY: Only in Big Gubmint do we have countless numbers of parasites like this earning salaries WELL INTO THE SIX FIGURES (coupled to substantial taxpayer funded retirement packages).
    Is it any wonder why the U.S is going broke?

    And the reason so many unproductive parasites are employed in Big Gubmint is because NO ONE HAS ANY SKIN IN THE GAME. (ie: the Department heads that hire them).
    If their particular department has cost overruns, no biggie.
    The Gubmint can just tax the citizens more billions next year, or they can take MoFo-Bill's suggestion and just print/digitally conjure trillions more in the coming years.
     
    Not so in the private sector. A private employer has a finite reservoir of money at his disposal.
    If he overspends on overheads then the product or service he offers will be more expensive than that offered by his competitors.
    Soon enough he'll go bust if he doesn't run his business more efficiently.

    The fact is that GUBMINT EVERYWHERE IS INEFFICIENT - there are no exceptions from ANY nation in ANY era of world history.
    Yes, I have no doubt that Gubmint in China is more efficient than it is in the U.S (not a particularly high hurdle to eclipse).
    But whilst the Chinese Gubmint may be more efficient in relative terms, in absolute terms it will NEVER be remotely close to being as efficient as the Chinese private sector.

    Moral of the Story: The more of the citizens money that Gubmint confiscates from its citizenry in the way of taxes/tariffs etc, the more money that will be squandered on boondoggles.

    As the Jeffersonian maxim states:
    That Government is best which governs least.
     
    Simply put, Gubmint must be kept on a leash and remain as small as possible.

    Turd Moron forgets that fossil fuels will run out, or be restricted by war or disaster, or even labour disputes. The Sun is there for five billion years, bozo.

    Like his Net Zero Nitwit ilk, Mulga has been instructed by his Climate Guru Klaus Schwab and his hero Yuval Harari, to ALWAYS use the term ‘fossil’ fuel – to imply that it took millions of years to generate in the Earth’s surface.
    It’s meant to cause alarm and give the impression that once we’ve used it all up, we’re done for.
    Since I was a kid I’ve been bombarded with propaganda (accompanied by graphs extrapolating the ever growing gap between demand and supply of oil), telling us that we’ve reached peak oil or that future oil output will keep diminishing.

    [MORE]

    And it’s all been B.S. The oil keeps coming. And the explanation for that is simple enough:
    The reality is that oil is Abiotic and being constantly replenished – likely faster than it’s being used up.
    And, in relation to the endless energy from the Sun and the wind, what good is it if:

    1) It costs MULTIPLES more to extract energy from these sources than through cheap and reliable Coal fired power and derivatives of oil.

    2) The manufacture of solar panels and those bird chopping wind turbines is extremely energy intensive. And their projected service life (like the claimed range of those EV lemons), is always exaggerated.

    3) Battery technology (for use in the EV lemons), is nowhere even remotely close to being commercially viable for vehicles.
    It is accompanied by enormous environmental damage (in the case of extraction of Lithium, cobalt and the rare earth elements that are utilised in these batteries).

    The fact is that Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and nitrogen comprises 78% of the air we breathe. And, just as with Mulga’s hysterics about using the Sun for energy, I too could apply the same logic and say:
    ‘Look how much nitrogen is out there. Why the eff aren’t we using more of it, rather than just for inflating the tyres of commercial aircraft?

    Perhaps one day a technology will be developed whereby Nitrogen can be used to generate power with no environmental downside (technology for using hydrogen in the combustion process already exists).
    But until that day comes, it’s foolish [for Gubmint] to waste colossal sums in an attempt to develop a technology that may or may not be viable in 200 years , 500 years or perhaps never.

    That’s where the private sector comes in.
    They are much more careful about how they spend their money and are far more likely to do a rigorous analysis into the viability of a particular technology.

    Simply put, if the private sector are not investing their money in some new fangled technology, it’s because IT’S A LOSER.

    The all important question that needs to be asked before squandering gazillions of taxpayers dollars is: ‘AT WHAT COST?’.
    If we can use the sun to generate power, that’s well and good.
    But is it COMMERCIALLY VIABLE? And the answer is an emphatic NO.

    Summary: The Climate Loons NEVER ask the all important questions.
    They never conduct Cost/Benefit analyses.
    It’s all about their ‘feelings’. It’s all about what appears to be enviro friendly on the surface.

    The Climate Cultists, to a man and woman, are all SCIENTIFICALLY ILLITERATE.
    They are not capable of discerning what ‘science’ is fake and what is real – hence the reason they were sucked in by the easily disprovable Climate hoax.
    This is no word of an exaggeration, they’re as dumb as a bunch of rocks.

    The manner in which this pos LIES and lies and lies again, is almost, if not admirable, then 'remarkable'.
    1) Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, but it lies that they are 'multiples' more expensive-its habitual recourse to the BIGGEST LIE his festering psyche can concoct. 2)Solar PV is getting ever cheaper, its life-span increasing, its efficiency increasing (it's called 'technology' brain-death) and as I've told you innumerable times, wind turbines kill vastly fewer birds than cats, domestic and feral, collisions with buildings and vehicles and diseases spread by climate destabilisation. As if a dead soul like you gives a flying fuck about birds! 3) Here the commentary is quite deranged, as Turd's 'brain' attempts to chew its way out. Where DO you start? Renewables are sufficient to power the world, NOW, (and are doing so more and more)NOT in 500 years-the insanity grows ever more lurid. Hydrogen will not be usable until the leakage and distribution problems are solved, while solar PV can sit on every roof. And hydrogen IS a greenhouse gas facilitator, as it destroys hydroxyl, allowing methane, destroyed by hydroxyl, longer residence time in the atmosphere. And the nitrogen slobbering is embarrassing.
    This all would simply be the standard melange of evil, stupidity and viciousness that Rightists have inflicted on humanity forever, but this time they get to 'finish the job', and wipe out their great enemy, humanity, FOREVER.

    Previous to Ford’s actions, most ordinary workers were paid as little as possible, almost always being subject to frequent wage cuts with business owners (robber barons) pleading poverty while themselves living grand lives.
    Henry Ford broke the Adam Smith “invisible hand” mold by paying his workers a decent wage, recognizing that a decently-paid workforce would pay him back in spades. Ford recognized that well-paid workers would not only be able to afford his products, but would boost the national economic engine to levels never seen before. Ford’s motives were not entirely altruistic as assembly line work was monotonous; a way had to be adopted that would reduce employee turnover. However, Ford did want his employees to “enjoy the fruits of their labor”, something that no JEW business owner ever advocated.
    Ford’s actions forestalled advocacy for communism which was thought to be a way to reign in the “robber barons”.
    Of course the wall street fat cats howled that Ford’s “excessive wages” would destroy capitalism–the opposite occurred.
    When the “Austrian painter” came on the scene, his monetization of labor was seen as a threat that had to be crushed, world jewry declaring “war” on Germany in 1933, hence WW2 commenced, the destruction of the “German economic miracle” was necessary to make the world safe for jewish communism and crony capitalism, which exists to this day.

In 1948, European colonists formed the nation of Israel and have imposed their will to defeat their neighbors and the indigenous people so that the colonists can control the and and thrive. The US could have done in Vietnam everything that Israel has done. The US lacks the moral character and focus that we see in Israel.

    What didn’t the US do: (1) invade the north (2) round up people in the North, put them in camps, and kill them (3) cut off all supplies to the north from other countries (4) impose “victory conditions” on a village by village basis similar to what Athens imposed on Melos. In other words, there was no commitment to victory by the US.

    Looking back on Vietnam we need to admit the US lost, surrendered, and lacked the moral character as a nation to win. Today the US still lacks that moral character. For example, we have allowed Wall Street to outsource US manufacturing to China. The US is being gutted daily by its materialism and greed. Other nations see this and we can expect in the next 50 years someone with greater will will impose defeat on the US.

    Renewable energy is now the cheapest form

    You keep repeating this blatant falsehood (because the Climate Guru you worship at your Ashram handed out pamphlets that alleged this).
    But REAL WORLD electricity prices demonstrate that everywhere that those inefficient solar panels and bird chopping wind turbines contribute a significant proportion of the total energy for a region, we have SKY HIGH PRICES.

    Click on the the link below to an article titled ‘The shocking graphic that shows …. out of control electricity prices are in Australia – consumers are paying an extra $538 a year to subsidise solar panels’:
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5944919/Shocking-graph-shows-power-prices-soared-Australia-past-decade-highest-world.html

    WHY is that Mulga? If solar and wind are cheaper than Coal fired electricity generation, WHY THE EFF DO WE NEED TO SUBSIDISE THEM??
    If what you say has even a scintilla of truth to it, then solar/wind should be sustainable and able to stand on its own feet without taxpayers billions in subsidies.
    (Of course sensible UR readers know that’s a rhetorical question. We all know that wind and solar generated electricity is not just unreliable and incapable of supplying base load power – resulting in blackouts – but they’re FAR MORE EXPENSIVE,

    Look closely at the graph contained in that article (which I’ll post again below), and see how the rise in electricity prices pretty much tracks the rate if inflation up until late 2007:

    And what happened in November 2007? That’s right, the Climate Evangelist (and all-around nitwit) Kevin Rudd becomes Prime Minister – followed by that frumpy whore Julia Gillard (accompanied by her stupid Carbon Tax).
    And not coincidentally the electricity price immediately goes up parabolically under the incompetent Labour Gubmints of these two idiots.

    Tony Abbott and his right-of-centre party come to power in 2013 and the price levels off (as they’re elected on the platform of abolishing the asinine Carbon Tax).
    You see Mulga, most Aussies are not as stupid as you and the Climate Evangelists.
    They KNOW that the leftist parties are PUNISHING THOSE THAT CAN LEAST AFFORD THE CRUSHING ENERGY BILLS – hence the reason they cast an emphatic NO VOTE to the Carbon Tax and Climate Lunacy.

    Summary: Mulga, just for once in your life STOP EFF’N LYING.
    The way you spoke to Brad Anbro in an earlier comment didn’t go unnoticed.
    Brad is light years more knowledgeable than you – you eff’n moron.
    That someone as idiotic and ignorant as yourself should be calling others ‘dumb’ (esp. someone as well researched and bursting with life experience as Brad), really takes the cake.
    I have learnt much from Brad over the years and thank him for his great contributions in UR.

    The numbers don’t lie. Whenever the scientifically illiterate leftists come to power, the ones that pander to the Net Zero Nitwits like you for votes, the electricity prices go through the roof.
    Because these leftist politicians were all abject failures in the private sector – hence the reason they always gravitate towards Gubmint jobs (because the private sector would pay them what they’re worth. ie: minimum wage).

    Steve, Great article, but your statement, "Population Control might be a tempting solution to many public ills. But the facts simply don’t bear that out." is absolutely wrong.

    Take 1-sq mi of uninhabited wilderness. How much human-caused environmental damage? NONE.

    Put 1 million people in that same space. CATASTROPIC ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE! It's simple math, simple physics.

    Now triple that population by importing another 2 million immigrants. UNBELIVEABLE misery, horror, stress and environmental damage, despite all inhabitants owning Teslas, living in 10 sq ft apts, using no fossil fuels, wearing hemp clothing, eating algae and bugs, and recycling their urine to drink.

    Recycling cans and bottles, avoiding meat, foregoing fossil fuels, tearing down highways, outlawing airplanes, using solar panels, ethanol and bicycles do nothing in the long run because those things just address symptoms, not the underlying cause. In fact they greatly harm environmental efforts because they distract us and give us false security that "we are heling to save the planet".

    If you want to save the planet address the underlying cause, not the secondary symptoms.

    The underlying cause is too many people. People cause pollution, not dolphins.

    An example that disproves your statement is the Galapagos Islands, which are relatively pristine because they allow few people to live there. The small amount of environmental damage they have is caused by the small population there, and all the tourists. According to your statement, we can move a million people to the Galapagos Islands, and it would have no effect on the environment.

Do some REAL RESEARCH on “abiotic crude” and you will find out about a scientific theory which states that crude oil & natural gas are generated inside the earth by geological processes. If one stops and thinks about it, most of the crude oil and gas are found in areas where there has NEVER been any appreciable amounts of plants and animals that would decompose into the so-called fossil fuels.

    Some time ago, a group of “eco-warriors” was attempting to travel to Antarctica, to see first-hand how the ice was disappearing from that continent.

Also, some time ago, a group of (rich) eco-warriors had flown into Bali, in the Soth Pacific, to commiserate about the world’s “ecological problems.” It didn’t matter (to them) that their gathering had generated TONS of plastic from their bottled water consumption. Nor did it matter how much fuel was wasted in their private jet aircraft that they had used for their personal transportation.

    Denying chemtrails is another litmus test for identifying leftists, who are desperate to keep IQ-lowering fluoride in our kids’s drinking water, protein out of their diets, and sunlight from reaching their skin with chemtrails.

    In brief, contrails dissipate shortly upon reversion to atmospheric conditions while chemtrails propagate against the prevailing atmospheric conditions. Where I live in Florida, with perfectly clear skies overhead and without an apparent cloud-containing front moving in, the sky overhead will fill with stratus clouds propagating from those characteristic parallel and crisscrossing lines.

    In many instances the crisscrossing lines appear to interfere with each other, which if true, makes me wonder how high-speed aircraft are allowed to fly crossing patterns with no vertical separation, and this in highly congested commercial and military airspace.

    Chemtrails are straightforward eco-terrorism and economic warfare against the people of Florida for leaning conservative, and no doubt against Texas and other red states resisting the annihilation of America, just as surely as if it were conquered by an invading army and our cities bombed into dust. The tragedy is that it’s apparently the Pentagon’s DARPA responsible for chemtrails and, therefore, by definition at war with America.

    Replies: @Brad Anbro

    Thank you very much for the reply. A little perspective from my county, Sullivan County, here in NE Tennessee…

    I had been aware of chemtrails for a long time, but I had never seen them in real life until 10 April 2023. That day I had come back to my house from a trip to the grocery store in Carter County. I got home, parked my truck and just happened to look up into the sky. I saw a few chemtrails and was very surprised by this. I went into the house, got my digital camera, went back outside and took some pictures, which I have on my computer.

    A couple of months ago, I went to a nearby city for a medical test. On the way there, I passed through the County Seat of Sullivan County, Blountville. I took my laptop computer with me and planned on stopping in Blountville on the way home, to talk with the sheriff about chemtrails. I did stop at the sheriff’s office on the way back, but he was “unavailable,” and I talked with a couple of young female sheriff’s deputies.

    I was sitting in the waiting area when they came out to see me. One of them asked me what the purpose of my visit was and I told her that I had some pictures on my computer that I wanted the sheriff to look at. She asked me what the pictures were of and I simply said, “the sky.” She immediately said to me, “Oh, you mean the CHEMTRAILS?” I said that yes, those were the pictures that I was going to show to the sheriff.

    The sheriff’s deputy took the word “chemtrails” right out of my mouth. I had not mentioned the word. I asked them what they could tell me about it and was told that “it was under investigation” and that “it was a federal matter.” I asked them WHO was doing the investigating and I was told that they were not at liberty to discuss the subject any further. They said that “it was above their pay grade.” As it turned out, the battery in my laptop was run down, making the computer unusable. But the deputies knew exactly what I was talking about.

    A few weeks ago, I went to the next town over, Elizabethton, in Carter County. A Carter County Constable was sitting in his county car, in uniform, and I went up to his window to talk to him. He rolled down his window and after saying “hello” to him, I asked him if he was familiar with chemtrails. He told me that he certainly was familiar with them and proceeded to tell me of an acquaintance of his who lived in another part of the state, who told him that the chemtrails in his area were so abundant that they practically darkened the sky at times.

    Yesterday (30 April) I was outside and looked up into the sky and saw a jet at very high altitude, creating a very thin trail. There was another jet directly behind that one, flying slightly adjacent to the trail. This second jet was not creating any trail. Both jets appeared to be at exactly the same altitude. At first, I thought that I was imagining things, until the sun started being reflected off of the second jet. So I knew that I was not imagining things.

    Something that I see in the sky practically all the time is that these chemtrails “criss-cross.” Commercial passenger jets at cruising altitude follow defined “corridors” and there seems to be no rhyme nor reason as to the paths that the jets producing the chemtrails follow. Also, most, but not all, of the jets producing the chemtrails are at much lower altitudes than the normal cruising altitudes of commercial jet aircraft.

    Here in the state of Tennessee, at least “some” of the state legislators take the subject of chemtrails seriously, as the state has recently passed legislation prohibiting the aerial spraying of anything, except for agricultural purposes. Obviously, the federal government does not give a damn about laws which the state of Tennessee has enacted. The spraying continues. Unabated.

    ANYONE who says that chemtrails are some wild conspiracy theory does NOT know what they are talking about. Jet pilots have publicly stated that they have piloted planes that WERE SPRAYING chemicals.

    Thank you.

  • First of all, let’s get rid of the term “fossil fuels”.
    Naturally-occurring hydrocarbons are “abiotic”.
    Hydrocarbon products are constantly being created deep within the earth by yet-unknown processes well below the layers that contain fossils. Keep in mind that hydrocarbons migrate upward and pass through “fossil layers” picking up remnants of “fossil” material; hence, the present-day scientists’ stupid, ignorant mistaken assumption that hydrocarbons are derived from “fossils”.
    Oil interests are drilling wells at 5,000 feet, 10,000 feet, and 15,000 feet and deeper, and coming up with oil deposits well below the layers and levels where “fossils” were known to exist.
    As Russia gained much expertise in deep-well drilling and coming up with oil deposits far deeper than that of the level of “fossils”, abiotic oil at extreme depths was actually a Russian “state secret” for a long time.
    “Peak oil” and “fossil fuels” are discredited dishonest concepts that environmentalists and others are latching on to, in order to display their stupidity, their hatred of oil being a renewable resource as well as to push prices up.
    Follow the money.
    Naturally-occurring hydrocarbons have done more to advance civilization than any other influence. It is the discovery, creation and utilization of ENERGY that propels civilizations upward and onward.
    We have more oil underneath our feet than the rest of the world. In fact, we became energy independent under Trump. That trend was reversed with the Biden regime.
    In fact, one of Saturn’s moons (Titan) is primarily composed of hydrocarbons (without “fossils”).

    The history of distributing nat gas around the US is interesting - and tells you a lot about the government and the almighty buck.

I was always baffled by the fact that our house in Detroit from 1947 - 1952 had to use coal, when my grandmother's house 2 miles away same city, built in 1925 had gas heat 20 years ago already.
    It gets interesting. In about 1975 or so, some guy who was calling attention to the abundance of natural gas (he had studied it to the hilt) and asked why it wasn't distributed let alone, obtained. He was found dead with a bullet through his head on a rural road in Iowa.
    While looking at a far-suburban home 12 years ago which had propane, the owner mentioned that a gas line had been proposed years ago, to be run down along that highway, but the locals (somehow?) forbid it. How stupid! How suspicious!

    How many of you have heard and bought into the cow fart stuff - big time Dutch propaganda? And more recently, even stupider, there's Joey B's drive to outlaw gas stoves. The Earth is at least as much a "gaseous planet" as Saturn, far as we know. But for some reason it's a "Shhh!" topic.

Like Forrestal, Patton planned to very much be in the public eye, saying inconvenient things, when he returned from Europe and surely readers are familiar with his outspoken opinions about the Jewish Bolsheviks, the Jewish media back home, and his assertion that Stalin and the Soviets should have been taken out when they were at their weakest and most vulnerable.

    I find it extremely disturbing that Roosevelt (Venona Decrypts), Truman and Johnson were terribly compromised, whereas Patton, Forrestal, McCarthy, and both Kennedy’s seem to have been assassinated by Communists and/or Zionists, with the media running cover in all cases. We were already an occupied government in World War 2 it seems.

  • RE: the FRAUD known as “climate change” – I have told this posted this many times before on this website and I will tell it again. Back when I was in high school in the late 1960s, I spent a lot of time in the school’s library. One day, I was thumbing through the weekly news magazines and I came across one that had a depiction of the earth on the front cover of the magazine. The depiction of the earth showed it half covered in ICE and the caption accompanying the picture stated, “Ice Age Coming!” Inside the magazine was an article stating how the earth was COOLING.

    Back then, the supposed “problem” was COOLING; now the problem is WARMING. I do NOT trust ANYTHING that the mainstream media says about ANYTHING. Nor do I trust what “my” government says about ANYTHING. Today, Sunday, 27 April, I just came back into my house here in NE Tennessee and while I was outside, I noticed that the sky was partially filled with CHEMTRAILS. This is a subject that Mr. Unz continues to deny, just like the proverbial ostrich with his head in the sand.

    RE: the arguing about world population and how all of the world’s population would fit into the state of Texas – I made some calculations myself awhile back and I calculated that if the entire population of the world were grouped into “families” of six persons and given an average sized lot on which to live, the entire population of the world would fit into the state of Texas, WITH LAND LEFT OVER.

    RE: so-called “fossil fuels” – I am completely in agreement with Anarchyst and Truth Vigilante, insofar as to the origin of “fossil fuels” (abiotic formation). Here in NE Tennessee, gasoline is currently selling for around $2.79 per gallon. Adjusted for inflation, that equates to prices of the late 1960s. When I worked at a gas station in the late 1960s, regular was selling for 28.9¢ a gallon and ETHYL was selling for 32.9¢ per gallon. That was for “major-brand” gasoline. The “cut rate” gas stations were selling gasoline for less but hardly anyone put that junk into their vehicles. Back then, the cheapest, most inferior gasoline was BETTER than the best gasoline today. Back then, “100 octane” gasoline WAS 100 octane gasoline. None of this “R+M÷2” crap that we see today.

    RE: the earth’s population starving – people are starving because the (rich) want them to starve, so that (they) can get control of the Third World countries that have desirable natural resources. Here in the USA, they need to get rid of the gov’t subsidized ethanol business, they need to get rid of corporate control & money in farming and let the farmers become farmers again. Do away with the completely RIGGED “markets” and the corporate stranglehold on the farmers’ means of production.

    Denying chemtrails is another litmus test for identifying leftists, who are desperate to keep IQ-lowering fluoride in our kids’s drinking water, protein out of their diets, and sunlight from reaching their skin with chemtrails.

    In brief, contrails dissipate shortly upon reversion to atmospheric conditions while chemtrails propagate against the prevailing atmospheric conditions. Where I live in Florida, with perfectly clear skies overhead and without an apparent cloud-containing front moving in, the sky overhead will fill with stratus clouds propagating from those characteristic parallel and crisscrossing lines.

    In many instances the crisscrossing lines appear to interfere with each other, which if true, makes me wonder how high-speed aircraft are allowed to fly crossing patterns with no vertical separation, and this in highly congested commercial and military airspace.

    Chemtrails are straightforward eco-terrorism and economic warfare against the people of Florida for leaning conservative, and no doubt against Texas and other red states resisting the annihilation of America, just as surely as if it were conquered by an invading army and our cities bombed into dust. The tragedy is that it’s apparently the Pentagon’s DARPA responsible for chemtrails and, therefore, by definition at war with America.

    Absolutely. I noticed in the spreadsheet above that 6 out of 10 (3A-8) of those listed were titled "Subsidized Farming". If this is true, then the way to eliminate the problem (if it can be done) would be to stop the subsidies. Stop funding the polluters, solve the pollution problem.

    However, this MIGHT also cause another more serious problem: mass starvation, as the great majority of people, especially those who are crammed into high-density population centers, cannot produce the food they need on their own. They will go hungry if or when the subsidized food producers are forced to compete on their own merits.

    Will we, as a society, revert back to an agrarian community? In and of itself, this might mean a rapid decline in population until the means of production (small scale farming) once again meets the demands of consumers.

    There are no easy answers.

    Now, Brad, you've been told lots of times that the 'Ice Age' scare in the 70s was a media beat-up, NOT the opinion of climate scientists. They (including fossil fuel corporate scientists, from the 50s) already overwhelmingly expected warming, which has happened. And the world WAS cooling from c. 1940-80, almost certainly because of particulate smogs that raised the planet's albedo and reflected more Solar radiation into space.
    Now, Brad, how can you tell a 'chem-trail' from an ordinary 'con-trail'? And you've been 'calculating' have you. The Horror!! Not so much Genghis Khan with a telephone, but the Khan with a calculator! We are lost!

    Ain’t that the truth.
    Congratulations Steve Penfield for calling out the Net Zero Nitwits.
    For a fraction of the money wasted on ‘Green Ebergy’ boondoggles like:

    1) Those inefficient and energy intensive to manufacture solar panels
    2) Even more energy intensive to build bird chopping wind turbines (which, like the solar panels will NEVER generate anywhere near enough electricity during their service lives to cover the cost to build, maintain and dispose of)
    3) The countless hundreds of billions of subsidies thrown at the EV industry etc,

    ALL of the other environmental issues on the planet could’ve been tackled and satisfactorily remedied, with money left over to feed/cloth/provide healthcare for the world’s poor.
    But no rabid Climate Loon (NOT A SINGLE ONE), has the guts to admit that all this money was squandered for nothing.

    Worse still, it was all wasted for the sake of a NON PROBLEM – since we know with certainty that CO2 levels in the atmosphere are a negligible determinant at best in whether or not the planet warms or cools.
    (More importantly, in relation to the rise in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere from around 280 ppm 150 years ago to just over 400 ppm today, the Net Zero nitwits will never tell you that Mother Nature is responsible for around 96% of that increase in CO2).
    In other words this is confirmation that this is NOT Anthropogenic (ie: man-made) climate change.
    It is all due to natural phenomena over which humans have no control – not that there is ANY catastrophic change* occurring anyway.

    (*Coming out of the Little Ice Age that ended in around the mid 19th century, of course the temp would be EXPECTED to rise somewhat, and that’s what we’ve observed).
    The planet has warmed just over one (1) degree Celsius during that period – and that has been an unambiguously good thing.

    Some time ago I attended a seminar given by one of the experts in Canada on greenhouse grow operations. These are increasing by leaps and bounds so as to provide Canadian grown fruits and vegetables during the off season.

    One of the profound revelations was that greenhouse growers increase the carbon dioxide level in their buildings to about 800 or so ppm, because their plants thrive on this. The atmospheric content is about 1/2 of this or 420 ppm (parts per million).

    Yes, the author summarizes the planet-wide damage to the natural resource base. And yes, plenty of climate crazed alarmists and other eco-radicals are making it worse. But it was the US financial class, not eco-zealots, who shut down US heavy industry, by shipping it to Asia.

    The deindustrialization of the US has been going on for forty years. The rust belt in the heartland alone extends from the Great Lakes to Pittsburg and down to the Gulf. The latest presidential administrations of both parties knowledge it implicitly in their slogans. It takes enormous financial power to move the core industries of the last remaining superpower to another continent. Yet, few of us ask, “Who did this?” Instead, we want to believe that it was just an accident of history. Rarely do either conservatives or liberals acknowledge this.

Yes, deep sea vents spew a cocktail of minerals and hydrocarbons, but they are hardly creating new fossil fuel deposits on a scale, and in such concentrated form (in area) as to be useful for the next few million years. Fossil hydrocarbons are 'naturally occurring', starting hundreds of millions of years ago, requiring the correct geology to trap them in useful deposits, and right length of time (considerable)to undergo the required metamorphosis. Re-filling from deep, one assumes mantle, hydrocarbons, appears not to occur, and, in any case, the hydrocarbons would be too diffusely distributed to be of use. Have you thought of THAT, Brains?

    Well, although there are subsidies, I think the US government is actually leading both fossil energy enterprises and renewable energy power generation into a dead end simultaneously.
    It seems that officials of the US government did not conduct market research in advance.
    If you look at it from the perspective of renewable energy, the existence of fossil energy is committing a crime. But in fact, the bosses of fossil energy simply do business, and the oil is far from being used up. Who cares about the narrative related to the survival of the Earth?
    The more subsidies are given to renewable energy, the more fossil energy companies will feel that their survival is threatened.
    The reason why we need to develop renewable energy here in China is simply that the oil reserves are too small. We need to find more energy sources all over the country.
    So we don't pay attention to such narratives. Whoever can provide energy, we will use them.


    As for the issue of education, actually, I simply think that there are problems with basic education in the United States, rather than criticizing vocational education.
    When I was in high school before, I unexpectedly learned that American high schools were learning what we taught in primary school... In fact, many Chinese high schools have already started learning calculus.
    Education in China requires that most students understand all the basic knowledge of history, geography, politics, biology and music.
    Later, when I grew up and was watching American TV series, I found that the campus culture of American high schools was completely different from ours.
    When I was in high school, I was the top student in the whole school. Most of the other students had to be centered around me and please me.
    Being the top student gives me the right to do whatever I want. The teacher won't care what those with excellent grades do. Moreover, I often bully those who don't perform well academically. They don't study hard because of reasons like dating or playing games.
    Here's an example for me. There was a hooligan who didn't perform well academically and often made noises to disturb others' studies. Once when we were queuing up to buy food, he even cut in line with me. The next day, my friends took him to the corner and gave him a beating.

    Thank you for your reply. My perspective is from being an industrial electrician, who worked in that capacity in industry for over 40 years. I will probably be repeating myself in this post, but I feel that what I am about to say is important and everything is based on FACTS, not what the mainstream media here in the USA would have one believe.

    I worked my entire adult life in the Rockford, Illinois area, about 90 miles (144 km) west of Chicago. Rockford was formerly known as “the screw capital of the world,” as there were so many factories there which manufactured fasteners of all kinds, from the simplest machine screws and bolts to the most specialized fasteners for automotive and aerospace applications. Rockford is now an industrial ghost town, as so many factories have either closed up completely or have downsized to being a small shadow of their former greatness. I do not know how many MILLIONS of square feet of industrial space sits vacant or underutilized in Rockford, but I know that it is a LOT. One can drive down any street and see vacant factories; others with employee parking lots having very few vehicles parked in them.

    [MORE]

    In between jobs, I applied at a Rockford factory for an electrician position, for which they had ONE opening. This factory has been in Rockford for over 100 years and made very high-quality hand tools. I was told that I was one of TWENTY QUALIFIED PERSONS who had applied for the job, and one of the six that they had interviewed. I did not get the job, as my robotics skills were weak. But I thanked them for their honesty.

    Previous to that, I had worked at a factory that produced aluminum wheels for passenger cars and light trucks. The factory was operated by the USA’s largest aluminum company. I had heard “horror stories” about that place before I had even applied for the job. But I applied anyway, because I had lost a job at a company that made truck frames for one of the “Big Three” American automobile companies. The company was not given a new contract for the auto company’s “next generation” of truck frames.

    I left that company for another job, as the facility was scheduled to permanently close some time in the future. I did not like my new job, so I went back my old job, even though I had lost all of my seniority and knew full well that the company was going to close. When I got back there, I found out that this company’s automotive product division had been sold. The frame manufacturer had been producing frames since the days of Henry Ford’s Model T and if any company knew how to manufacture frames profitably, it was them. But the parent corporation had decided that there was little opportunity for being a “Tier-One” supplier for the automotive industry and got out of the business completely.

    The new company consisted of a group of investors, who formed the new company with the use of DEBT and figured that they were going to “make a killing” as a Tier-One auto supplier. This new company eventually filed for bankruptcy. Millions of dollars had been spent at the facility that had manufactured the truck frames – fixtures for production; power supplies for manual welders; robotics welding equipment, hydraulic units for the industrial processes and PLC (programmable logic controllers) electrical controls equipment.

    I worked there until the last day of production and it was like I was attending my own funeral, as it was the best job that I had ever had. The hydraulic units, which were leased, went back to the company that leased them, the fixtures were scrapped and the robotics welding equipment & manual welders were sold. Everything else was disposed of and the company simply walked away from the building, as it had been rented. Millions of dollars down the drain!

    Getting back to the company that manufactured aluminum wheels – I worked there for 8-1/2 years and I HATED every minute of it. The company treated their workers WITH CONTEMPT and they had a propensity for firing their workers, many times for the most lame reasons. The ONLY reason why I stayed there as long as I did was because there were NO OTHER JOBS available in the area in my line of work.

    One day, they conducted a plant meeting in the cafeteria. The plant manager told the employees that if they didn’t like it there, they could “go across the street and make chips” (there was a potato chip factory across the street). And management could not figure out why morale was so low! My last few years there were spent working in the foundry. The company made absolutely NO ATTEMPT to supply the workers with fresh air or hospitable working conditions. Temperatures in the foundry were routinely above 100° F (43° C) – even in winter! Before the place closed up, they removed 2 of the 30 low-pressure die casting machines. This was when they could not keep up with production. My guess is that the machines were shipped to China, where the machines would be used as patterns for building new die-casting machines.

    My reason for writing of my experiences is because of the fact that this “scenario” has played out tens of thousands of times here in the USA. – tens of thousands of factories closed, millions of GOOD WORKERS thrown out of work and millions of square feet of industrial space either vacant or under-utilized.

    The United States has become the laughingstock of the world. We have record numbers of millionaires, record numbers of billionaires, record numbers of homeless persons, record numbers of bankruptcies, both corporate and personal, and record numbers of drug addicts. We have infrastructure that is falling apart and we spend record amounts on ARMAMENTS.

    At the end of World War II, the USA had EVERYTHING going for it. Practically everything of any consequence was manufactured here in the USA and with unions gaining power, living standards for ALL Americans was rising. The USA was the world’s largest creditor nation; now it is the world’s largest DEBTOR nation. But GREED got in the way – greed of the bankers & financial “industry,” greed of the armaments manufacturers and greed of the politicians – of BOTH political parties.

    You mention the state of “education here in the USA. I believe that “education” is one of the biggest SCAMS here in the USA now. Exactly what is the purpose of getting a college degree? Most of the factories have moved overseas and EVERYTHING is being offshored. Besides the armaments industry and a very few specialized manufacturers, for the most part, practically everything has been moved out of the USA.

    You mention the drug addicts. I firmly believe that most all of the illicit drugs are ALLOWED into the USA, so that banks can launder billions of dollars annually, tax-free. Also, the drugs are being used to keep the population “dumbed down” and forcing people to turn to the government for “help.”

    I will be 74 years old this coming June and I do not see anything improving in my future. Things will only get worse. And all of this is PLANNED.

    Thank you.

    In Kevin's own words from his recent interview with Sterling Harwood:


    But anyway, so now once the first tower has been hit and there's a huge hole in it and there's smoke pouring out and there was a fireball initially and stuff, And the noise, just everybody in New York heard that noise of the plane screaming across the sky at super high speed and low altitude. A lot of them looked up. Many did see the plane. I'm sorry, no planers, but I can bring on my friends who know the people, including who saw these planes.
     
    From Christopher Bollyn's website:

    Examination of the videos of the planes striking the twin towers in slow motion suggests that the kamikaze attacks were a military operation. Careful analysis of the video footage indicates that the planes appear to be military aircraft with missile pods attached to their undersides from which incendiary missiles were fired immediately before plunging into the buildings. The video evidence is readily available to most Americans and is found in the images broadcast by the news networks on 9-11. Although the mainstream media has had these images since 9-11, it has failed to discuss their significance.

    That is why these events are noncomparable. The Twin Towers were not concrete structures. They were steel-framed with a lattice form and big glass windows. This is very different from hitting a concrete building. The plane parts could easily force their way through the available openings that appear when the windows shatter under impact.

    Oh, dear, and the most savage genocide seen since Rwanda, is ‘collateral damage’ is it, you race-hating monster?
     
    Well, yes. And it's not a genocide, as Israel doesn't deliberately target civilians. Blame Hamas for deliberately using them as human shields.

    The war on the Palestinians began, in earnest, in late 1947, NOT October 7, 2023, when most civilians killed were murdered by the IDF in ‘friendly fire’ and the ‘Hannibal Procedure’.
     
    Y'know, when Israel gave the Palestinians autonomy in Gaza, they had high hopes. The Palestinians could've built up the place and created their own paradise, right on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Instead, they chose Hamas as their government, which then focused on committing terrorist actions against the Israelis instead of helping the Palestinians. It's a shame, really.

    I am 73 years old and worked as an industrial electrician my entire adult life. I used to think that Jews were God’s “chosen people,” but I no longer think that way. I now feel that as a group, they are one of the most despicable groups in the world.

    Some time ago, I went to the website that I love to hate – Wickedpedia – and went through their entire lists of American Jews of the 20th and 21st centuries. I made up documents separating the prominent ones into various groups: business; crime; entertainment; financial; medicine & science and journalism & politics.

    Alongside their names, I made note of the SOURCE OF THEIR MONEY. I found that there were very many in entertainment – the nonsense and filth that comes out of Hollywood and also the pornography industry. Many others were in the financial industry – the fraudulent banking system of the USA and the rest of the so-called civilized world. And, of course, there were many in the casino known as the stock market and also businesses dealing with various financial “instruments” – ripping people off.

    Of the ones that were in the medical field, a great many were working in the development of DRUGS AND VACCINES. Many others were in the very questionable areas of psychology and psychiatry. Many were heavily into law and politics – ambassadors, diplomats, holders of elected political office & political appointees and also lawyers & judges.

    I noticed very few in the hard sciences – chemistry & physics and fewer in the manufacture of quality, needed products with which to make peoples’ lives better.

  • Retarded nazi cunts just get even more retarded the more I read them, if that’s even possible.

    Hey, geniuses, if explosives had absolutely anything to do with the fall of the World Trade Center, or any of the other buildings that suffered destruction on 9/11, why, oh why, did absolutely no one, among the thousands of firefighters, forensics analysts, and other trained experts who looked all throughout every cubic centimeter of the rubble find even a single trace of any explosives whatsoever, on the day of the attack (no one had time to remove anything), and years and years after? Because explosives leave traces, and not-so-subtle ones at that. To believe anything as profoundly retarded as this, and not think to yourself, even once, “hey, people checked the rubble, did anyone speak up and say they found anything?” demonstrates something beyond mere retardation. This is complete, and abject brainlessness; unthinking. That’s what the author of this article is, and yet, by the comments in this thread, there are people somehow even dumber than that, people who even call this “intelligent”.

    I take it back. Calling you all “retarded nazi cunts” doesn’t do you justice for just how retarded you all are.

    They did, dumb-ass. They found evidence of thermite reactions, pools of molten steel that could not have happened with burning jet fuel. First responders recounted a series of explosions within the towers that occurred before they collapsed. You're obviously a shill.

    Sam, you make a good point, but you make it with so much overloaded emotional and vitriolic language that you lose me a little. Does the phrase, which I am not going to repeat, have a more serene expression that would capture the same basic meaning? So, by Nazi, you obviously mean something like "fascist." So could we call your discursive opponents "dimwitted fascists." The use of the slur that you used which describes the female body part--- this is a usage that kind of dials up misogyny, which I do not think plays any role in what you are really trying to say.

    What is surprising to me about 9/11 is that the hijackers were able to get through NORAD. Maybe, this is not ultimately so very surprising. It just surprised me that they were able to hit both the towers. The Building 7 material--- I have not really been able to look into that.

    Using the most skeptical form of reflection about 9/11 that is available to me, I can say that something definitely brought down those buildings. The speed with which the towers collapsed is notable, since there have been many steel building fires in which collapse did not happen. So, it is simply strange to me that the hijackers got through Logan Airport Security and our air defenses, and that burning jets were enough to bring down the buildings. That is all it is for me, just strange and uncanny. I do not think "Israel is responsible for 9/11," and I would never call the people whom you refer to as "dimwitted fascist [name of female body part]" the name you called them. Are they Russian trolls? Deranged lunatics? Or just people who have been alienated (permanently, I'd say) from the public information apparatus of the U.S. circa 2002? It's hard to say. Best to you , Sam Levine.

  • @Eustace Tilley (not)
    Kevin: Thank you for your intelligent pursuit of this great matter. Ever since 9/11, our national political life has been based upon The Monstrous Lie of 9/11. Everything since has been an imposture.

    The "Official Narrative" was an absurd whitewash used to cover an unspeakable crime. Perceptive scientists, in particular Dr. Steven E. Jones, Professor of Engineering at Brigham Young University, were hounded out of their positions and ignored by the presstitute media.

    The "airplane crashes" were eye-candy for the mass of uncritical people who don't know science and don't know how to think. But why did they demolish Building 7, which had no razzle-dazzle airplane crash to provide a faux explanation? They even announced it on BBC Television before it happened! To me, that is the chief remaining mystery of 9/11.

    For an answer, I think we must go beyond the rational and enter the realm of the spiritual. Satan loves mockery: whatever is good, true, and beautiful is a target for his plan of destruction, but he loves to mock his victims as he slips in the knife. Having Building 7 fall when and as it did is saying: F*** YOU to humanity.

    It's like IDF troops posing in the lingerie of the Palestinian women they had displaced or killed: F*** YOU.

    All that is necessary to vanquish Satan is to submit to God's Will and to go beyond fear, particularly fear of death.

    Kevin: Thank you for your intelligent pursuit of this great matter.

    I agree, in the context of 9/11, Mr. Barrett has been persistent and laudable.

    They even announced it on BBC Television before it happened! To me, that is the chief remaining mystery of 9/11.

    Fox news also reported it before it fell, even explaining why it fell, “incredibly structurally damaged”,

    Video Link

    so they knew Building 7 was ‘incredibly structurally damaged’, even before it collapsed.

    How? How would anyone know that, when the building hadn’t yet fallen?

    Anyways, the thinking is, that it may have been Flight 93 that was intended for Building 7, but then was shot out of the sky, (the Shanksville “crash site” is bogus), and when it never arrived, they had to ‘wing it’, and have the building ‘pulled’, because they couldn’t leave it there, all wired for a demolition.

    Or, it could be it was supposed to come down during the giant pyroclastic clouds, that engulfed the site right after the towers collapsed, and no one would have been the wiser. But something fucked up, and it didn’t go down when it was supposed to.

    In any case, it could be, that it’s just as bad as your theory, because in either case, no one in authority seems to have the slightest interest in finding out what actually did happen. And we all know why. Because of the USS Liberty syndrome, whereby if it’s Israel that commits the crime, they get a pass.

    Which I think is why we all know we’ll never get to the actual truth about JFK or the Epstein files, or the Russian gate, or even the attempted assassinations of Trump, even when Trump is now president, because they all know there are certain questions you don’t ask, if you want to stay healthy.

    listen to this Jewish piece of shit, saying people he doesn’t like, should be destroyed and put in prison – for saying things he doesn’t want said. And what’s notable about this, is that of course these maggots say such things in private, but now they’re saying them out loud, unafraid of any consequences.

    so I wonder, even if it became widely known, that Israel did 9/11, (they did ; ),

    what would happen?

    Anything?

    We all know the Trump, (or Harris or whomever) administration will always circle the wagons, and rally around our bestest buddy ever.

    And of course, the Evangelicals will do the same, led by their preachers, (with shekels clinking under the frock).

    Congress is a no-brainer, ((corrupt to the core)).

    The courts, ((ditto)).

    The universities, will toe the ((line))

    But what of the average Joe on the street, I wonder..

    He’s been fucked over by ZOG and Wall Street bailouts and Washington DC corruption with Covid and Climate Justice and BLM and endless wars for Israel and every last vestige of his life or hope for his children, being dashed at every turn by a government that openly hates his guts, and does everything in its power (like immigration) to destroy him.

    And then he finds out his government colluded with Israel to murder three thousand Americans, so it could force people like him to send his sons to die in more wars for Israel.

    What is he going to do? I wonder..

    Alone, nothing. But if ever 9/11 truth gets off the ground, in any appreciable way, then I think we’ll get the draconian crack-downs, which will only inflame the people more.

    Who knows where it all might lead..

    And it’s not just Americans, the whole world is catching on to things like 9/11, and ((who’s)) behind all the wars.

    Even as, like you point out, they’re mocking the world, by wearing that underwear you’re talking about, and basically saying, ‘ha ha, look at what we’re doing, and there’s nothing you can do about it, because Woodrow Wilson gave us Jews the key$ to your kingdom. So get down on your knees, and beg for shekels, goyim!

    and beg for shekels they will, as they’re feverishly seeking a new pope that will please the Jews

    There is no need for a national ID card, period.  The initial congressional Real ID act was part and parcel with the Orwellian-named “Patriot Act” of the Bush administration.  Like the Patriot Act it was advertised as a protection against terrorists, and likewise it will be turned inward towards Americans.

    Forget about migrants, “Real ID” is about controlling and tracking Americans.
