Between vanishing livelihoods, car-jackings gone wild, fears of stroking out or infarcting from their mRNA boosters, threats of nuclear annihilation over Ukraine, and remorseless waves of mindfuckery emanating from the evil machine fronted by "Joe Biden," is it any wonder that Americans struggle to understand what is happening to our country?
Last week, the "president" blurted out "we beat Big Pharma!" That was a shocker. He didn't elaborate. Did the White House staff and the Pfizer C-suite meet for a volleyball game at Rehoboth beach? Karine Jean-Pierre didn't say. Nor did anyone mention the government-purchased 171-million doses of the new bivalent Covid "vaccines" the FDA is rolling out. Do you wonder what the price-per-dose was? Go suck an egg... you're not allowed to know. The compliant search engines will not tell you. Not even the one that goes quack. That was some "beat," though, huh? Wait for the news about who actually steps up to take this new, virtually untested shot. Hint: people who live under a rock.
This week, the "commander-in-chief" declared that his Inflation Reduction Act quashed inflation. Roger that, sir! You are the King Canute of economics! They had a party on the White House lawn to celebrate. James Taylor came down to fluff the crowd with song, leaving his brain behind in the Berkshires. Then, "Joe Biden" flew into his now-customary 'roid rage, huffing and puffing and blowing smoke up America's ass. The stock markets were not fooled. The very hour "JB" was dialing up the gaslight, the DOW landed 1,200-plus points below its morning open. Thud....
They are working this old dog hard as all their narratives shred, the economy heads south, and a karma train chugs down the tracks with a cargo of retribution aimed at the Party of Chaos and all its wicked, seditious, tyrannical flunkies. "Joe Biden" knows that he's in its headlight. Joshua Philip at The Epoch Times's CrossroadsET podcast had an elegant theory about the backstage doings concerning the fate of The Big Guy. (Check out shows for Sept 12 and 13.)
What "JB" fears, Mr. Philip says, is that his nemesis, Mr. Trump, following a decisive Red win in the 2022 midyears, will manage to get a few key states to de-certify their 2020 electoral college votes — based on proven ballot fraud — thus triggering a "contingency election" in the US House of Representatives, with one vote for each state, which Mr. Trump would likely win. Far out as it sounds, the machinery for all this is embedded deep in the constitution and federal statutory law.
The so-called Deep State — yes, that one... the administrative Moloch that ate Washington — fears for its existence in such a seemingly far-out case. As it should. Because Mr. Trump would replace the sniveling tool Merrick Garland with an Attorney General interested in restoring the rule of law, which will necessarily require the imposition of said law on a large cast of sinister characters in the federal bureaucracy, plus not a few elected officials, who have engaged in systematic seditious treachery lo these many years.
Among these are the upper ranks of the FBI, whose multi-year illegal antics have climaxed in the August raid on Mar-a-Lago, and the September blitz of late-night, SWAT-team subpoena servings and phone-grabbings on Mr. Trump's associates and lawyers. Seems the FBI might have been rope-a-doped on the Mar-a-Lago caper. What the FBI confiscated were reams of evidence of the agency's own misconduct dating back through the RussiaGate op. Then they attempted to hide the list of all that material by redacting the affidavit that accompanied the search warrant. Their aim: to designate all that evidence inadmissible in future proceedings against them due to it being tagged to an "ongoing investigation" that will never end. This has been FBI Chief Chris Wray's ploy every time he's been faced with serious questioning in Congress. I can't speak about ongoing investigations....
Late Thursday, however, Federal Judge Aileen Cannon blocked the FBI's use of the seized material in any criminal probe against Mr. Trump, and, at his request, appointed a "Special Master" to sort out the true ownership and privilege status of the docs. The Special Master is one retired federal judge Raymond J. Dearie. Mr. Dearie has until November 30 to complete his review of the material. By then, of course, the midterm election will be over; the FBI and its parent agency, the DOJ, will be making plans to do some 'splainin' to the new Congress come January. Game, set... Mr. Trump. Match to-be-determined.
Two more miscellaneous items du jour:
Is Special Counsel John Durham preparing to fold up his tent? Some observers think so. He disbanded his grand jury. The trial of Igor Danchenko awaits, a subsidiary character in the RussiaGate saga. If it is so that Mr. Durham's inquiry ends with this minnow, then it will be the most astounding cover-up of an official crime spree in US history. What is the net result of Mr. Durham's work to date? Conviction of FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith for falsifying documents in a FISA Court proceeding — with no punishment. Presiding over the Clinesmith trial was Judge James Boasberg, a FISA court judge himself, who was repeatedly snookered by the FBI in issuing FISA warrants against Trump associates. The mills of the federal judiciary grind mysteriously.
So, after Mr. Danchenko's case is disposed of, will that be all? Mr. Durham is obliged to supply a final report. But AG Merrick Garland is not obliged to make it public. One sees the sphincter of a cosmic black hole closing.
Last, is the comedy of Governor Ron DeSantis flying fifty illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, summer playground of America's Woke-ocracy. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Duke County officials labeled it "a humanitarian situation." MV Homeless Coordinator Lisa Belcastro complained that the posh little island lacked "resources" to accommodate the new arrivals. Surely Barack Obama, or some other celebrity property-owner out there, could throw a benefit party to support the brave little band of travelers. Pass the arugula crostini! Massachusetts has eight "sanctuary cities," but the state as a whole hasn't claimed that honorific. State Senator Julian Cyr of Cape Cod remarked, "This is deeply disgusting...a cruel ruse that manipulates families that are seeking a better life." Uh-huh.... Odd, nobody said that about the countless federal flights of border-jumpers from Texas and elsewhere to blue states all over the land the past two years. Note: pertinent observation by Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin down on the US-Mexico border.

I now read Kunstler nearly every week, like that other American tw@t Karl Denninger -tickerman [Link]
whilst, I in England think most Americans are evil bastards
now trying to destroy Europe (where I live in England (don't mention our Dead Queen -we haven't buried her yet)
Kunstler, Denniger McGowan and Hanson convinced me that the USA is not Dead yet..
Do you guys know how The Germans feel..?
You Americans are trying to Crucify them.
Just as well The Germans haven't got any Nuclear Bombs, because they dislike you, even more than us English do.
We have no plans to nuke Moscow
We actually like Russians
It is you Arseholes in The USA we can't stand.
Love & Peace, Preparing for Winter in England.
If you Americans try and destroy Europe..we will first tell you to Fuck Off Our Lands
Fuck Off Back to America
You are not wanted here in our Green and Pleasant Lands
It is not that difficult to change the codes.
Don't fuck with our friends in Europe and Russia
We all know The Neocons who control the USA are Mad.
Can you please get rid of them, before they kill us all

There is no need for the nuclear option, they are in the process of strangulation of the population.. Take that as you will. Healthcare, food prices, fuel and energy costs through the roof in the West. And let us not forget the cost to provide a roof over our heads. Rents, a great new deal. .
A whole plethora and this is not a recent past. Not to mention that the value of life has been diminished, with families, given the choice, of how a senior member dies, because they are no longer able to keep them in a facility (otherwise know as a warehouse of the elderly) through government programs. The nameless and faceless, useless eaters, stuck in a government prison, pushed with drugs, because they have to comply. those that remember the past and are no longer given a voice, die in captivity.
Coming to a neighbored to you soon.
But I have done my best trying every subtle technique, I could think of with minimal training but interest in psychological techniques in Behaviour Analysis, and Behaviour Modification to plant the thought in my wife's mind and my son's mind not to get jabbed, whilst both of them from totally different perspectives under emormous social pressures from their peers and friends to get jabbed, like they had.
I succedeed with them. The two most important people in my life have not been jabbed and are still healthy and alive.
I failed with my sister and some of our friends, who are now dead, but I was never that good at changing people's minds. The harder you try, the faster you fail. The more you argue, the bigger the resistance from their point of view. Getting in to a mind battle, doesn't work well, but a few subtle hints does, like all these athletes and soldiers, keeling over and dropping dead, when on parade. These things never happened, when we were kids - well maybe occasionally, but it was extremely unusual, and they recognise that, if you don't push the point. You can't force anyone to change their minds, no matter how much you love them, but you can try a little bit with a hint, just occasionally.
The important thing as you get older, is to eat good fresh food, do a bit of exercise, and try and keep fit. No one is going to do it for you. I am rubbish at it, but the theory is good.
I am amazed I am still here, but I do have a lovely wife, who tells me off most of the time, for being a lazy sod.
Such is life and death, if you don't get off your arse and do something hopefully useful.
Nowadays, the imperialist baton has been passed over to the US, and likewise, it is not the American people, the workers, labourers, farmers, doctors, teachers, etc, who are 'the problem', but the same elites who have inculcated the American nation to become the bully of the world... some are still convinced of their supposed superiority, but I think that many are genuinely ashamed of the trick that they have been fooled with.
I agree, it would be for the best to get all US international influence uprooted and sent back home with its tail between its legs... However, that imperialist baton has also been passed on... Now, it is the UN empire that is invading everywhere and everything.
So, from a fellow Englishman, let's bear in mind that this 'hatred for America' IS a part of the international pantomime that has been orchestrated for us.
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster..."
That aside... really Joan? You took me as some google-bot?! I don't know whether to take that as an offense or a compliment... is my intelligence really that artificial?!
Mine is based on a christian foundation, going back thousands of years
Personal beliefs and the way we relate to the reality represented to us, called mind space.
I think all religions have something to give to the human being, and also in my heart-felt view, it is the teachings of the Christ that is the Sun of the entire system... if one only focuses on the teachings of Christ, that is enough to give light to all the other spheres.
I consider that something similar is happening now... only it is not Osiris, the masculine, that is being torn apart by Set, but it is the female that is being torn to shreds by Satan... Coincidentally, there is the myth of the Amazonas in South America (which is where I live), and the story is that the fierce warrior women cut off their breast and they it into the river which now bears their name... Is it not a complete reflection of the Osiris-male myth with his phallus being thrown into the Nile?
I think 'modern' Christianity has completely overlooked the adoration to the Divine Feminine, and that is what this world needs now more than ever... as much as adoring Mother Earth, as the Divine Mother Mary, but also for a man to adore his woman, in order to save her from the satanic plan to destroy humankind... by destroying the woman.
(Another $4.50... ker-ching!)
My question for you: what is 'mind space'? It's the first time I've heard it being used.
That was not the focus of my comment.
Men have always in ancient mythology been represented as the protector of the divine feminine, the Creator of life.
$4.50 another ka ching or a demerit point, for pointing out that men have value in the cosmic battle of life, but have lost their balls and are now neutered in this reality.
There is a very good and little known Argentine author, Jorge Adoum, who states that the energy of creation is split between ATTRACTIVE and PROJECTIVE, the two magnetic poles which we sometimes call 'positive and negative' (which is often misleading)... For instance, a woman is physically attractive, whilst emotionally she is projective. A man on the other hand is emotionally attractive, whilst physically projective. If a man learns how to balance these two forces within himself, to project his superior emotions into the world, to attract vital energies into his physical body, he can bring a lot of balance back to society.
It is said that the path to enlightenment must begin with imagination... and in that sense, the Book of Revelations is an initiatic book that one can use to provoke the imagination... but, one should not read it with fear or anxiety, because all of it is related to internal processes... rather, one should read the Revelations with an artistic sense, as if one is observing a painting or reading a poem, to allow the living symbols of Revelations to become alive in the imagination.
Will power and Desire are two aspects of the same function... desire is fragmented will, because it is always plural. To strengthen will, one has to combat desire... but not all desires at once, but instead, overcoming one desire at a time... thus one begins to ride the first apocalyptic horse of 'conquering'. There are so many spiritual practices, that one can get overwhelmed... one sets out to radically change overnight, with a sudden regime of various exercises, and when one or two elements begin to slacken, the whole enterprise comes crashing on its head, and one is left feeling despondent and hopeless. No change is achieved overnight, but like a baby growing, little by little, atom by atom.
Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to overlook illusions. This is how you learn that you must be forgiven too. There can be no appearance that can not be overlooked. For if there were, it would be necessary first there be some sin that stands beyond forgiveness. There would be an error that is more than a mistake; a special form of error that remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond correction or escape. There would be one mistake that had the power to undo creation, and to make a world that could replace it and destroy the Will of God. Only if this were possible could there be some appearances that could withstand the miracle, and not be healed by it.
Interesting man that Jorge Elías Francisco Adoum, alias Mago Jefa. His 365 day curriculum reminds me of other non-dualistic curriculum's like A Course In Miracles, ACIM. It also has a 'workbook' that has 365 lessons, and is a useful guide to thought control, your own. Like Mssr. Adoum in Yo Soy, Jesus points out in the ACIM text, "...the real world's purpose gently brought into awareness, to replace the goal of sin and guilt. And all that stood between your image of yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not create His Son again, that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your brother and yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew in creation he must know again.
When brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look back, and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set away from idols toward reality. For when they joined their hands it was Christ's hand they took, and they will look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon before the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the Love of God. Yet is the Love of Christ accepted first. And then will come the knowledge They are One..." -ACIM Chapter 30 – V. The Only Purpose [Link]
I like the idea of looking at all people I encounter, on line as well, and attempting to see the face in all my brothers and sisters and see the face of God. This is what Jesus did while he was in corporeal form. What a beautiful way to see the world as God 'sees it.'
Peace to you!
45% of the election campaign of Hitler in 1930, and was under the control of Rockefeller’s “Standard oil”.
In addition, they owned a 30% stake in the aircraft manufacturing company “Focke-Wulf”.“
General Motors”, belonging to the DuPont family, established control over “Opel”.
Henry Ford controlled 100% of the shares of “Volkswagen”.
American cooperation with the German military-industrial complex was so intense and pervasive that by 1933 the key sectors of German industry and large banks such as Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Danat-Bank (Darmstädter und Nationalbank), etc. were under the control of American financial capital.
1932 Secret Agreement: Wall Street Finances Hitler’s Nazi Party
In the summer of 1934, Britain signed the Anglo-German transfer agreement, which became one of the foundations of British policy towards the Third Reich, and at the end of the 1930’s, Germany became the main trading partner of England.
,Germany secretly took delivery of the most modern equipment for aircraft factories from the United States, which would begin the production of German planes.
Today, the world’s financial elites have implemented the Great Depression 2.o [2008], with a followup transition towards a “New World Order“.
honestly, the US mongrel government are doing and have done the same now, 2014 beginning this Ukraine crisis, if it wasnt for our Russian friends, the west would be speaking German now.
looks like the world can and well live without the thought process of the US GOV, IT SEEMS SINCE ITS EXISTENCE ITS DONE NOTHING BUT SPONSOR EVIL, BREED EVIL AND BE A PART, MAIN PLAYER OF EVIL.

But since the good old days in Rome, the people were easily kept complacent with "bread and games".
I am afraid, that the "bread and games" number has made it all the way into the 21st century. And it has been upgraded several times:
Bread and soccer.
Bread and celebrities.
Bread and fashion.
Bread and mass shootings.
Bread and war.
Bread and popular mechanics.
Bread and racism.
Bread and racing.
Bread and nail polish.
Bread and Ferraris.
Bread and TV.
This shit has a long tradition and those are not that easy to overcome.
Especially with the most recent additions:
Bread and FicFoc.
Bread and Fuckbook.
Bread and Twatter.
These versions are soon updated to:
Bread andFicFoc.Bread andFuckbook.Bread andTwatter...
