What makes the world so psaki? Why does it make us want to harf? Well, let's start with the people who inspire the words. What can we say about Jen Psaki and Marie Harf? They're both perfect poster children for the banal psychopathology upon which the USA, and by extension the rest of the world, is built. They're oh, so 'normal' with their cute smiles, propensity to humor and the ease with which they handle difficult situations. They're not just living the American dream, they are the American dream. But closely study these people, what they say and the way they say it, and you realise that those charming traits are used to mask a cold-blooded and ruthless ability to tell bare-faced lies to the world. And not just any old lies, but lies that obscure the fact that the US government is responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians on a daily basis. When you realise that, the smile and lighthearted manner isn't so 'cute' any more. Then again, they are the official State Department media liaisons, and therefore are tasked with white-washing the crimes of the massive planetary boil that is the US government and all of its institutions.
Having said that, we took the announcement that Psaki would no longer be gracing the State Dept. stage with her question-dodging and lie-spewing with a bit of disappointment. Harf was a decent replacement, but Psaki was such an easy target for us to highlight US government duplicity, and her regular 'endearing' blunders and non sequiturs and seeming inability to distinguish truth from falsehood, provided morbid entertainment to those who could see behind the veil of cuteness. As an example, here's what Psaki had to say on February 23rd about American stooge and president of Yemen, Hadi, who was recently deposed in the coup which sparked the Saudi and US bombardment of Yemen.
Unbelievable. If anyone's 'revising history' it's Psaki. Newsflash, Jen: the Maidan coup in Ukraine was unconstitutional. We would recommend you to actually read the Ukrainian constitution and see for yourself.
Here she is defending Ukrainian PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk calling Russians 'subhumans', and their Foreign Minister calling Putin a "f***er", from June of last year:
As for Mini-Psaki, Marie Harf, here she is giving what she gleefully considers a 'straight answer' to a yes or no question, in which she refuses to answer yes or no. It appears she has graduated from the same school of governmental bullshit as Psaki:
Psaki must have been proud. Nothing is psakier and more harf-worthy than being deliberately obscure, smug, insulting, and presenting black as white. Then again, that's the US government for ya!
Psaki and Harf are just two relatively minor and worthless humans in the grand scheme of things. But their positions make them perfect examples of pretty much everything that is wrong with this uni-polar, US-led global society that is soon to go the way of the dinosaurs: they lie, they're arrogant, they're smug and self-certain, they're insulting, they're so wrong they're 'not even wrong' about anything of importance, they're apologists for terrorism, torture, murder, and rape. This is the face of empire: all that is contemptible in human affairs, covered up with expensive clothing, expensive hair-dos, and forced smiles.
In fact, everything is backwards. Chances are, if it's common knowledge - if you hear it coming from the mouthpieces of Western governments, media, and institutions - it's a load of psaki harf. And it's astounding that lies are so consistently and so strongly peddled and defended, when they're obvious nonsense. Let's look at just a few examples from fields other than politics that are, nonetheless, intrinsically connected to it.
Sinkholes
Twenty years ago, practically no one knew what a sinkhole was. Now there are reports of them swallowing up sections of roads, vehicles, homes, and even people on a daily basis. The official explanations of 'burst pipes' and 'subsidence' are ludicrous. Obviously something has changed in a pretty fundamental way over the last couple of decades, but no one seems to notice. Even the earth can't seem to 'keep it together' any longer. The planet is 'opening up', and has begun to 'swallow' people, cars and homes. If that doesn't make people sit up and take notice, we don't know what will...then again, people, in a general sense, are complete idiots. So let's not hold our breaths. We feel compassion for them, but in the way that you feel compassion for a drowning person who won't allow you to come near them because they won't stop freaking out and threatening to drown both of you. You just have to keep your distance and shake your head in dismay at the tragedy of it all.
Fireballs
Either human life spans have become remarkably short, or something is up in the skies too. Because 'once in a lifetime' fireball/meteor sightings are now extremely frequent. As usual, there is no official explanation, just the repetition of "extremely rare" or "once in a lifetime". Now and again some NASA fool pops up to explain that there are millions of space rocks circling our planet all the time, so it's not so unusual that we would see them in our atmosphere from time to time...like once in a lifetime, or every day. It's all in the complicated science, so don't think too hard about it, until one lands in your neighborhood. Even then, don't think too much about it. It was probably a gas explosion or a fertilizer plant exploding for some banal reason. Check out the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians instead.
Comets
It's not that surprising that no one seems to be noticing the fireballs, seeing how ridiculous comet science has been for the last century. Comets are not dirty snowballs. That's been obvious for generations, but it doesn't stop so-called scientists from continually being baffled when the obvious smacks them in the face, or when a dirty snowball beats the odds of a snowball's chance in hell and flies through the Sun's atmosphere intact and they still call it a 'dirty snowball'. NASA scientists are like an educationally challenged infant that just can't seem to figure out that fire burns and keep sticking their hand on the hot plate.
Global Warming
Speaking of shoddy science, you'd think that these idiots would be able to realize that global warming is a fraud for the simple reason that there has been no global warming for the last 18 years. But facts mean little to government scientists and their lay lackeys, especially when they can be covertly skewed or the declining temperature data 'hidden' in exchange for a fat pay check.
Ukraine
Just take everything Psaki says about Ukraine, turn it into its opposite, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what's really going on. The Maidan coup was illegal, violent, fascist, sponsored by the U.S., and aimed at making Russia angry. There hasn't been any Russian invasion, the rebels in the east are not terrorists, and the current regime in Kiev is founded on rape, murder, and torture.
Crimea
Crimea democratically chose to return to Russia. Russia didn't 'invade and occupy'. Crimeans are now happy to be part of Russia, much happier than they would have been suffering the "glory of Ukraine" in the form of psychopathic low-life Right Sector terrorists 'cleansing' the region of all things Russian. Remember that the next time you hear some brain-dead moron bemoaning the 'loss' of Crimea from Ukraine, and Ukraine's 'glorious' ambition to take it back.
Russia
Russia is not an aggressive state. NATO has been the aggressor, and Russia has been responding as reasonably as possible given the psakiness of the morons with which it has to deal (e.g., Dr. Breedlove, or how he learned to stop thinking and love the bomb). Putin is not the next Hitler; in fact, he's probably the sanest, smartest, most insightful and capable leader on the world stage today, leagues ahead of ineffectual puppets and intellectual minnows like Obama, Hollande, Merkel, Poroshenko, Harper and other harf-inducing excuses for human beings.
Yemen
Hadi was and is a U.S./Saudi puppet. The people didn't want him in power any longer. Rather than take the example of so-called Russian aggression in Crimea as their model - peacefully protecting the civilian population and allowing them to express their will - Saudi Arabia and the rest of the corrupt pseudo-Muslim royal family freaks in the Gulf went with the so-called democratic option: bombing the hell out of the place.
ISIS
ISIS is not the greatest threat to countries like the United States. It is a collection of psychopathic mercenaries created, trained, funded, and armed by Western and Gulf states for the purpose of 'asymmetric' warfare against nations it wishes to destabilize and to prevent from becoming self-sustaining, stable powers in their own right. The so-called coalition fighting against ISIS is a joke. The airstrikes are ineffective. The U.S. and UK regularly air-drop supplies to ISIS and provide military advisers. It's theater, and very poor theater at that.
Syria
Assad runs a secular, moderate government. He didn't gas his own people. He is doing a better job fighting ISIS than the almost unimaginable might of the 60 nations allegedly 'fighting ISIS'. That's because ISIS's purpose just happens to be exactly the same as the U.S., Israel's and Saudi Arabia's purpose: to destabilize the region and effect regime change to ensure the status quo is upheld.
Iran
Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program. The 'negotiations' are a joke: they are negotiating about a non-existent issue. Iran is shackled with sanctions because Israel and the U.S. want to punish the country, keep it isolated, and make the Middle East 'safe' for Israeli dominance. Israel, in the form of Netanyahu, has been claiming Iran is "about to get the bomb" for 20 years! Why does anyone take this person seriously? He's obviously not a serious person.
Democracy
Democracy is a hollow word. No, scratch that, it's actually a complete bullshit word devoid of any meaning. Calling the system of government in the 'freedom-loving' West 'democracy' is like saying that inmates of a mental asylum enjoy all the benefits of democracy. They are free to run around and bang their heads off walls and smear food on their faces all they want. On the other hand, any semblance of real democracy in the world is labelled 'authoritarianism' (as in Russia), or 'illegal' (as in Crimea), by the West, while gross violations of democratic principles and practices are lauded as perfectly all right: illegal invasions, murderous predator drone strikes, systematic torture, stifling of dissent, mass surveillance, rigged elections, false-flag terrorism. But we suppose that 'rule by the people' still makes sense, if the only 'people' are the 1% and the others are only 'subhumans', as Yats sees Russians.
Police
The police force in the U.S. is no different than an organized crime mob. Actually, scratch that, they're worse. They lie, cheat, steal, rape, and murder without consequence. They kill more civilians in a month than the UK police force does in a century. They are not here to 'serve and protect'. Most of the people who want to become cops are people who enjoy power for its own sake, who enjoy violence, and who don't have much going on in the region of the head that usually contains the brain. But they do have a serious inferiority complex. These people should be knocking each other senseless in a boxing ring, not charged with a position of any social responsibility.
Materialism
Modern western culture is shallow, crude, hedonistic. It disparages real thought, values, and spirit. Western philosophy is even worse. Truth is confined to an abstract realm that ignores the facts of human experience, or confined to a narrow category of things that can make money. When matter is the be-all-end-all, there is no room for values, and anything is permitted: for example, making up test results, silencing authors of unpopular or inconvenient truths, and letting science essentially become a 'propaganda catapult' in service of business interests and profits, not truth and actual social usefulness.
Diet
Have you noticed that almost all the food that 'they' said would kill you in no time at all 20 years ago is now sort of essential for optimal health? And conversely, all that you were meant to stuff down your gullet with wild abandon is now being described as possibly deadly? Who are these jackasses that pass themselves off as doctors and scientists? The fact of the matter is that pretty much everything you think is true in the realm of medicine and health is probably completely wrong. We wonder how that happened? Saturated fat bad for you? Nope. Cigarettes the biggest killer? Not even close. Carbs are good for you? Fat chance. We eat the wrong foods, swallow pills we don't need, suffer and die, all to feed an industry more interested in making a buck than making us better.
So there you have it. Anyone who has any issue with any of the above, please feel free to write to your local, state or federal politician so he or she can have a good laugh at your letter and carry on wasting/stealing your tax dollars; covering up the evidence that they and their ilk enjoy sexually abusing your children and teaching you to do the same, until your children are old enough to be conned (and encouraged by you) into joining the military (or a bank) and thereby contributing to the murder of innocents in "far off lands" for the profit of the same kind of psychopaths to whom you sent your complaint letter.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Because it ain't gonna.

Reader Comments
That was the most lucid summation of the truth I have read in a long time.
The situation would be hilarious if it wasn't so pitiful.
Well, it's still hilarious! Whenever the God's bother to notice what's happening on Earth at all their laughter probably shakes the Heavens.
What a round up of truth all given to us in the minutes it takes to read this article, thanks to blood sweat and possibly tears of the Sott team and it's network.
This must be broadcast to every news outlet, every news service, every TV screen in the nation (or so it goes in the movie 1984) to show the people "Why we don't need them".
Thanks
You guys are hilarious! Makes me wonder why the US hasn't been swallowed up by some massive sink hole - yet.
On the up side, as for Psaki and Harf. They have nice hair. Kudos to their hairdressers for trying to make something so meaningless and empty on the inside, look good and positive on the outside. I think it's good to have a laugh at the awful stupidity of their existence.
Many thanks Joe and Harrison, for such a superb summation of the world at this time - a "dystopian freak show" is such a truthful and painfully accurate description.
"Nothing is psakier and more harf-worthy than being deliberately obscure, smug, insulting, and presenting black as white. Then again, that's the US government for ya!"
Oh so true! "psakier" and "harf-worthy" are euphemisms par excellence for such insidious, psychopathic individuals!
Back when I was a kid, and Star Trek and Captain Kirk were on tv, and it was supposed to represent the future, I took it all as bogus crap, crummy stuff and poor acting you watched for an hour and then did something else that had more of a pertinent and authentic ring to it.. In other words, you got the hell out of the house and did something fun with your youthful, healthy and energetic body/mind and usually with other kids.
But a lot of people (I guess) believed it was real, believed it was a MUST, that it was spell-binding and important beyond anything else imaginable, and now here we are and it is real:
We're all playing Star Trek!
Piles of bogus crap, mountains of crummy stuff and really really poor (evil) acting by everybody, everywhere.
Message from Hollywood and government: 'Guess what? If you're not a star (a shitty actor) and you're not happy being a star (a shitty actor), and you don't want to be a star (a shitty actor) we're going to kill you.'
How's that for space travel, exciting, liberating and mind-blowing technology and cosmic adventure?
Fuck you trekkies.
ned, out
@Kent:
Art and poetry are most trustworthy (dependable) when they are beyond (mind) 'control'.
Same too (actually), with science.
thanks (for the links),
ned
Joe and Harrison calling things what they are.
Sad to see Psaki go, but it looks like Harf might be even more entertaining. I guess the White House has an unlimited supply of ridiculous morons. I would like to see the training these girls get. Completely unprofessional, but apparently they're taught well how to muddy the waters and lie their way out of anything.
Well, I'm just gonna sit back and harf at how the whole world goes psaki.
Great summary Guys, but whats next, where do we go from here? It looks like all we can do is wait for the XXXX's to fall. Contrary to Neds ragging on Star Trek, I think for many it was a window into what could be but will never be in this world with the psychopathic control structure. Beam me up Scotty
You knocked it out of the park guys! I could hear the crack of the bat from where I'm sitting at my computer!
Great article guys. Can't wait for the next episode of "Starski and Barf"
Feeling really sane after reading this!
Just add some Big Pharma and Big Agro to finish off the recipe with poisonous injections that create autism in the population and glyphosate that gives a very short life span ... weaponized food and so called healthcare
Looks like we are living in a madhouse which is run by psychopathic entities?! Since our birth, we have been gradually programmed to rationalise and follow the psychopathic ideologies and more or less, exhibit psychopathic activities in the madhouse. The only natural thing which some psychopathised inmates may have retained, would be the FEELING od humanness, however, humanness without a sufficient awareness, does not make somebody normal. At the same time, it is hard to gain an awareness in a controlled environment.
As John Keel said (The Cosmic Question of the Eighth Tower):
“Visualize a mad scientist who needs someone to clean out his secret laboratory in his castle on a forbidding mountaintop.
He constructs a mechanical robot for the job and programs it so it can move freely within the lab, but if it should open the door and try to move out of the laboratory, it is programmed to self-destruct.
The robot calls it slavery. We call it free will. We are free to pursue our life in our own way so long as we conform to the hidden master plan. If we try to circumvent that plan by zigging instead of zagging, we self-destruct.”
(…)
We are caught up in a poker game being played with marked cards. Yet, in the closing years of this century, we are like the inveterate gambler who, when informed that the game is crooked, shrugs and says, ”I know... but it's the only game in town!”
End of quote
At the end, the theory that our reality is in fact a - virtual reality, may provide some comfort to us, as something can not be virtual and objective at the same time!? [B. Whitwhort, The Physical World as a Virtual Reality: [Link] ]
So, Keel’s “poker game” would be just a virtual reality game, where we would only be programmed, self aware, virtual characters, like those in our SIMS games, doing something in a programmed environment, where, as Barbara Bartholic would say, “the same forces stay behind the Mothers Theresas and the serial killers”.
If true, this would mean that the same forces stay behind the most of what we would regard as “positive” and “negative”, in this “crooked game” (including us), where pain and suffering are pretty real to those who experience it. What can we do about it?! Should we look for the gnostic “third force” and get out of here by riding on it, or should we try to change the virtual game from inside, by reprogramming it, somehow?! [Eg. some people say that a hologram or a visualised virtual reality, when done properly (on the basis of all three components of the human being, the soul, the mind and the spirit, and not the mind/personality only, as promoted through so called “new age visualisation techniques”), may lead into translating the visualised or internal holographic reality, into the external one!? Anyway, this concept is still in an “experimental phase”.]
At this stage, what we are more and more able to see is - the problem, but not - the solution, which may be a bit frustrating.
Reading the news nowadays, in a world that has gone totally insane, is exhausting and depressing. The announcements of "Acts in the Psychopathic Theater" are getting old pretty fast. We need to travel back in time, fetch Wallace, Krushchev and Kennedy, introduce them to Putin and watch them form the A-Team with John Lennon as Spokesman.
