Welcome to the USSA, Where Fascism Now Rules

The latest Twitter revelations show how compromised Big Tech and Big Media corporations have become. They are just tools for the Big Government monopoly.  Also telling is that the US media, long-infiltrated and influenced by US government (CIA) or compliant with big government and the lies of the day, is ignoring all of the revelations of the Twitter files being released. That's just standard operating procedures now. 

It turns out that Twitter was infiltrated by government agents or people aligned with our illegitimate Bolsheviks and our sick, demented, mentally ill leaders (liars) who are only in power due to election theft.  For sure, Google, Facebook, Apple (and countless others) are also doing the government's bidding too.  Nearly all the big Wall Street banks and Big Corporations are aligned with "The Party." It's beyond pathetic and they are all doing it for money.

The US government and nearly all Big Corporations are now a Mafia of sorts. They are basically aligned as criminal enterprises. That's called Fascism. Nearly all major media outlets are also substantially compliant with the "government." Welcome to the new Pravda. Welcome to the USSA, where Fascism now rules.

All the lies and propaganda have been designed to grossly mistreat and demoralize conservatives, silence their opinions and screw Trump himself and his supporters. But that's ok isn't it?  They are just White Nationalists, White Supremacists, Far Right Wing hillbillies, Nazis, Christian nationalists, deplorables. Oh, I forgot Racist, Xenophobic, Islamophobic!! That denigration of one-half of our population is coordinated propaganda that is designed to make preparation for "them" to be rounded-up, charged with made-up crimes and jailed. (J6 Anybody?) Surely, they'll try to arrest Trump?  But the people doing this "name-calling" are just common criminals like Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).

Notice how fraudster Samuel Bankman-Fried, a thief and con artist of monstrous proportions, is being given fawning attention at CNBC, Maxine Waters and other Dems/Republicans. It's because he showered anybody he met with funds from client accounts. His company, FTX, was supposedly a custodian of accounts like Fidelity or Charles Schwab.  But he stole all the customer money!  He's Bernie Madoff times 20.  But he's not under arrest.  If he's never arrested, then you REALLY know we're finished as a legitimate country. All the people that took his "donations" are complicit in his fraud ---- meaning the entire US government. He going around acting like he's a dumb country boy and didn't know how it all got away from him and that "he didn't mean any harm."  He's a pathological liar and criminal. And those sympathetic with him are liars and criminals, ie., the entire US government.

 

The US government is the new Soviet Union. (Ironically, as the schlerotic USSA is collapsing, it is Russia who is now in a renewal of it's economy and culture.)

 

Like the Soviet Union at it's end, the US is now led by creaky, old, and mentally ill (demented?) criminal apparchniks (Democrats).  Biden and Pelosi and countless old farts are 80 yo or nearly so.  It's pathetic and telling that they can't just go off and enjoy their grandchildren and their ill-gotten wealth in their golden years. Instead, they are compelled to continue to "play the game" and accumulate even more money and power.  It's evil because the love of money and power is evil. (Geez, these people can't even follow the Ten Commandments.) And it almost seems like they know they are going to die soon, so they might as well just destroy everything and take down everyone and everything else with them:  "If we have to die, we're taking everyone with us!"

 

At the end of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s their situation looked like ours; old, decrepit, corrupt leadership were sick and dying like flies.  Remember that Breshnev died in 1982, Andropov succeeded him in 1983 but he died in 1984 to be succeed by the feeble Chernenko, who already terminally ill, he died in March 1985.

 

Like today in the USSA, The Soviet population was completely demoralized and was afflicted with widespread mental illnesses including alcohol and drug abuse. Today it's opiod overdoses and suicide. Then, despair ruled the land as the extremes of central planning ruined the economy, the society, the people and their work ethic -- exactly like we're seeing.  They also had government and medical tyranny where the government used mental institutions to imprison dissidents and they had to endure total government control of the media as propaganda and tyranny. Their legal system was subverted to serve The Party and government. 

If we survive the next few years, and that is questionable, the solution is that the US government has to die (like the USSR?).  But you know as well as I that the government is the last to die --- by design.  The bureaucracy must survive above anyone else!  The government-types will have dedicated bunkers and survival supplies if the shit really hits the fan.

The America that you thought existed is gone now. Our country has been hijacked. Real Democracy is collapsing now with widespread election fraud. Nothing will happen because Democrats control everything. They ARE the Deep State and are at the head of most corporations, the schools and "universities". They are an occupying force in our nation. Our political opposition is a side-show, a joke that is also in it for the money. And yes, the opposition is Black propaganda, which means it's only meant to only appear to be an opposition--- all to control your mind. As Alex Jones says, "there's a war for your mind."

Worse, these illegitimate Bolsheviks who stole power, are ginning-up war with Russia, China and probably Iran. Our "enemies" might not take the bait (if we're lucky).  They can see that our country, our economy and our society is in freefall.  Our "enemies" don't have to do anything but watch. Our military is shrinking. Recruitment is falling. Our workforce is declining. People are opting out of the workforce in droves due to dissatisfaction. Many are taking early retirement. Productivity is in a shocking decline. Our "economy" will soon be in shocking decline now that zero interest rates are gone.  The stock markets are likely going to crash hard in the next 4 months. Vast amounts of phantom wealth will evaporate like the various and numerous crypto "currencies" ---which, like so much of our stock, bond and derivative markets -- are full of fraud and scams.

The way that this is likely to play out is that there is a deep recession, markets seize-up and crash, Europe collapses, and maybe war erupts. It may be world war.  The Federal Reserve then cranks-up the "printing presses" to bailout, well, everybody, and the winds of hyperinflation begin to blow REALLY hard.  Our criminal government will invent a reason for seizing YOUR ACCOUNTS, ie., steal your money just like SBF.  They ARE SBF!  At that point it's all over. There will be nothing left except ruin and poverty for most like the Weimar Republic.

It's all over. It's just that most aren't seeing it yet. 

The US is Steeped in Government-Sponsored Evil

From James Howard Kunstler at Clusterfuck Nation blog:

Startling fact of the week: Twitter’s senior ranks of content moderators included over a dozen former FBI and CIA agents and analysts who let child porn run loose all over the app while surgically removing any utterance contradicting the government’s claim that mRNA “vaccines” are “safe and effective” — not to mention the effort this elite crew expended against anyone objecting to the Woke-Left’s race and gender hustles. Wouldn’t you like to know how much they were paid? Probably more than government work.

Here’s another awful reality (better fasten your seatbelts): What also emerged in the tweet record of Yoel Roth, the company’s chief censor (former “Head of Trust and Safety”), begins to look like a gay [Doug here: Jewish?] mafia assault on the collective American psyche. Having gained official federal government sanction and protection, a statistically tiny homosexual demographic left in charge of the country’s main public forum has been out for revenge against their perceived enemy, political conservatives — Americans disinclined to join the cheerleading for drag queen story hours, “minor-attracted persons,” transsexuals in the military, and other LBGTQ cultural pranks.

In the process, that gay mafia running the public dialogue supported every lie that the government, its protector, put out, to keep it happy and well-fed. Shocking, I’m sure… but there it is. 

That means they also promoted the most-deadly psy-op in world history: the Covid-19 scare and the mass “vaccination” crusade that will end up killing many millions world-wide, after destroying the economies of the Western Civ nations. The whole package looks like an attempt to turn the world upside down and inside out. Is it any wonder that so many feel the USA has gone crazy?

Of course, that aroused the widespread suspicion that these now-exposed nefarious operators in social media were merely tools for some murky plutocrat elite led by the likes of the WEF, Bill Gates, and George Soros. Could that be the greatest “conspiracy theory’ of all? More likely, I hesitate to suggest, all these characters in one way or another are merely tools of history itself, as the world enters the darkest days of a Fourth Turning secular winter. As TS Eliot observed: “Humankind cannot bear too much reality.”

Thus, so many sense we live in dangerous times. Everything appears to veer out-of-control, including thought itself. Disorder incites more disorder. While all this madness is going on in-country, the US government, led by the phantom president “Joe Biden,” continues to prosecute its insane proxy war in Ukraine in order to antagonize Russia. Lately the US has sent drones hundreds of miles inside Russia to blow up military airfields. How is that not an escalation of hostilities, and exactly how far do the American people want their government to take this crazy project?

Not a goshdarn inch further, the opinion polls indicate. We are apparently not quite so insane as to welcome nuclear annihilation, and we seem to recognize what might bring it on. And so, the dreadful realities of time still stand before us, unmoved by all the mental illness they provoke, uninterested in our excuses for behaving so badly. Is there any way to face them? To incorporate them into a truth-based narrative that Western Civ can use to rescue itself from something that looks like suicide?

Elon Musk, alone, apart from, and in defiance of all the cowards running things in America —the corporate sell-outs, the craven college presidents, the bought-off politicians, the bad-faith media fabulists, the vindictive denizens of Hollywood — is moving to inject some therapeutic truth into the American lunatic asylum. He came out pretty hot over the weekend, branding Dr. Anthony Fauci as a criminal, calling for his prosecution, and promising the release of Twitter files that will demonstrate just how deceitful and untrustworthy the old Twitter acted in all the medical melodrama surrounding Covid-19 and the “vaccines.” On Sunday, Elon tweeted, “Now things get spicy.” Will the reveal of all that wickedness make any impression on half the people of this country still deranged by the many previous salvos of official propaganda? Maybe not all of them. Maybe only twenty percent. But that would be enough to tip the consensus of opinion in the right direction: a recognition of the harm that has been done… and the will to quit doing more of it.

Beyond that, even, Elon has put the basic question to America: Are you in favor of free speech or not? Especially now that you know that “moderating” free speech is an invitation to live in lies. And lying all the time really does bend that old arc of history toward evil.

Armstrong: The Left is Consumed with Hate and Intolerance

From Martin Armstrong at Armstrong Economics

Elon Musk is exposing the corruption of the LEFT by releasing Twitter docs that prove beyond question what I have been saying that the LEFT is always EVIL for they cannot sleep at night worrying about what others are doing. They were creating secret blacklists. 

Make no mistake about it – the LEFT absolutely hates you and would much rather see you dead than coexist. History stands as a witness to that statement.

Twitter was started “to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.” The LEFT is pure evil and they will destroy the United States because they do not believe in any of our freedoms. We need to be controlled and that is what they see as the answer to all their theories.

The Berlin Wall During Soviet Times

I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. I saw what these people always do. I went with a friend to visit his family who was trapped there. His cousin gave us a tour and when anyone was remotely close, she would do the typical Communist routine how wonder what the government was and took such great care. As soon as nobody was near, she would curse them out. One of the film crew on the Forecaster grew up in East Germany. The day the Wall fell, his father was able to get his Stasi file. He saw everyone he thought were his friend was ratting on him. He came home and began punching holes in the walls. He thought his father was insane. Then he was pulling out microphones. From then on, he would never speak to anyone again except for his family.

Let’s get honest here. The LEFT trusts no one. They collected evidence on everyone for they were the notorious Stasi of East Germany. When the wall came down, the extent of the secret police operations targeted against their own people was mind-blowing. What surfaced was their “smelling jars” collection. Yes, the Stasi used odor recognition to keep tabs on anyone they suspected. The Stasi often collected the samples covertly by breaking into homes to steal a suspect’s used underwear. They then kept them in jars in case they turned up missing to hunt them down.

Ministry for State Security (Stasi) smelling jars

This is what the LEFT has achieved here in the United States. Censoring everything and creating this cancel culture. I am so glad I am not 18, yet sad for my grandchildren will have to endure this horrible rise of the LEFT. I will celebrate the day when America splits.  Those who are LEFT should go to California and those who disagree should move South and NEVER the two shall meet. But that is not how things will work. The LEFT will then wage war against what they see as their hated opposition.

They will never be satisfied just separating. They must oppress and crush all freedom – just pick up a history book and you will see – there has NEVER been an exception to their end goal. They will never allow their opponent to just live in peace. They have no problem surrendering all their own rights as long as nobody is allowed to have the freedom to oppose their beliefs.

Kunstler: The West's Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex and Psy-Op Wars

From James Howard Kunstler at Clusterfuck Blog:

Have Americans grokked that virtually all of the mis-and-dis-information bombarding them lo these many years actually comes from the government and the news media channels that serve it? What we’ve got now in this country is a Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex waging a psy-ops war on the people of this land. Why is that?

Essentially, to cover-up crimes against the country by public officials that have already occurred. Twitter, pre-Musk, was a major accomplice and enabler of all that, and suddenly it’s not — to the horror of everyone in charge at our nation’s seat of government. The main crimes revolve around selling-out America’s future one way or another — “Joe Biden” and Company being only the most blatant perps in the big picture.

Before them was Hillary Clinton, with her purchase of the Democratic National Committee and previous lucrative ops during her turn as Secretary of State, like the Uranium One deal, the Skolkovo military tech transfer op, and then the Russia Collusion op to insure none of that would ever come to light. The whole Intel Community behemoth was neck deep in it, too, amping up the Russia prank into a four-year coup d’état. Remember, The New York Times won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that Hillary’s little hoax was for-real. It’s all just gotten more grotesque since Mr. Trump was ejected in the souped-up 2020 election, with sideshows such as the ongoing race-and-gender hustles, the climate con, and the Green New Deal bullshit.

Covid-19, surely released on-purpose, was, as Ed Dowd avers, a cover for global bankruptcy. Nothing else explains the astounding coordination of so many governments acting the same way against their own citizens: lockdowns, vaxx mandates, vaxx passports, and all. The icing on that poison cake, of course, is that everything the public health officialdom told you about Covid-19 was patently untrue, and dishonestly so, not via omission or plain incompetence. In fact, the virus was made in a Chinese lab with the help of Dr. Fauci and colleagues. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine did work effectively against it. The “vaccines” were not tested properly and turned out to be harmful. And now the Covid-19 melodrama is ending in a discernable death-of-the-vaxxed and the reveal of all those aforesaid lies, while, anyway, the global bankruptcy approaches its nauseating climax.

Watching the post-election political vaudeville during the lame-duck Christmas intermezzo, one can’t escape perceiving that just about everything in the USA is now heading south toward breakdown and ruin. The on-the-ground economy craters, inflation rages at the supermarket, supply lines break, the oil and gas industries get strangled, health care goes down smoking and burning, public education folds in disgrace and failure, Wall Street ends with a bang and a whimper, and John Fetterman prepares for his place in history.

Our government’s Ukraine op is ending in disaster for that sad-sack former Russian province and, surprise-surprise, for the European Union, NATO, and us, too. We finally played the Russia card like we’re the proverbial patsy at the poker table. Our hand turns out to be a pair of deuces with the five-of-diamonds high. Russia rakes in the chips with its massive natural resources and the world’s most stable currency, soon to be backed by gold. How’d that turn out, Victoria Nuland?

The EU was already functionally bankrupt. Now it has lost its entire industrial base for a lack of fuel to run it — self-Epsteined, shall we say, on the national scale — and faces not just a return to the medieval standard-of-living but also to the competitive savagery of many small nations soon to be fighting among themselves, making bad conditions worse. So sad. Euroland was a nice place to visit at the turn of the millennium and now the lights will blink out, like seeing a fond relative expire, eyes going vacant, on her deathbed.

Western Civ is, after all, a kind of family. And now the family is disintegrating — as old families will — in a malodorous fog of receivership, vice, and imbecility. Here in the USA, it’s hard to have faith in the supposed political opposition, the Republican Party. Not with Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy still riding herd. They preside over their own coterie of extravagant grift and disgusting privilege. Don’t be shocked… shocked… if they just stand by while America collapses at the hands of “Joe Biden.” If there is any saving of this nation these two must be defenestrated, and, anyway, saving the nation from penury, depravity, and senility looks increasingly improbable, at least in the form of our old federal republic.

The macro trend is quite clear, as laid out in The Long Emergency: what’s coming is the opposite of global government; rather, national governments become increasingly impotent and illegitimate, and smaller regions by necessity must retreat into autarky to keep anything going. For us that means Washington DC sinks into irrelevance while the states, or perhaps mere parts of the states, have to take charge of their own affairs.

That process might have been jump-started by the Elon Musk revolution at Twitter. It will be a lot harder for the Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex to operate with this key player in revolt. Lies will be contested now on the grand scale in ways that were formerly subverted. Things blurry will come into focus. Fresh air will blow in on chill winter winds. New ops against the people, such as the threatened central bank digital dollar, will be laughed off the stage. Some lights go out, but others get turned on.

MSN: Gender-fluid US Nuclear "Official" Charged with Felony Theft of a Designer $2.3K Suitcase

First, some background.  From energy dot gov website:

Sam's Gov't Portrait: Loud and Proud

"Sam Brinton serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition (Nuclear Energy Dept-8). In this role, Sam leads NE-8 and oversees its programs including the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology and the Office of Integrated Waste Management."

[Doug here: He's (She's?) yet another creature entirely immersed in Academia and Government and that usually spells trouble. Two graduate degrees, stints at "Think Tanks for Clean Air and "Third Way" (whatever that is).  She was the first employee of a nuclear waste company, but apparently that didn't last as it was back to government service. Was she the LAST employee of that company?  Enquiring minds want to know.  Also note also that he is the DEPUTY, ASSISTANT, SECRETARY.  But I guess you have to start somewhere in government work.]

The government site goes on to say:  "He led a team  one of the first major national consensus reports on the topic of consent-based siting at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Sam has also worked for think tanks such as the Breakthrough Institute, Clean Air Task Force, and Third Way. Sam holds dual graduate degrees in nuclear science and engineering as well as the Technology Policy Program from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering with a nuclear engineering focus and vocal music performance from Kansas State University."  

Hmm..."Think Tanks," "Institutes," a "Task Force," "Reports," multiple graduate degrees -- all academia and gov't.  I don't see any real world experience, which is typical of "government types" and shows why the government is so incompetent. 

The government is a joke  because only in the "real world" of work, for example, actual engineering projects in the real world with real budgets and constraints is where the real knowledge and value lie. It's where wisdom comes from. Without "real world" experience, you're probably more dangerous than helpful and that applies to anybody but ESPECIALLY those in government with coercive government POWER.

Trouble in Tranny Paradise

From MSN, 

"At the airport, Brinton was on surveillance taking a Vera Bradley suitcase valued at $2,325 from the luggage return at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on September 16th.

According to the criminal complaint, Brinton was seen on surveillance video grabbing the suitcase, removing the ID tag, and then quickly leaving the area.

Police said Brinton was observed using the bag during at least two other trips, on September 18th and October 9th.

"If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don't have any clothes for another individual," Brinton told law enforcement. "That was my clothes when I opened the bag."

Brinton called police two hours later and confessed to not being “completely honest” [Doug here: OK, I can appreciate a little 'mea culpa,' however oblique.]

“DEFENDANT said when they opened the bag at the hotel, they realized it was not theirs,” the court filings stated. “DEFENDANT got nervous people would think they stole the bag and did not know what to do. DEFENDANT stated they left the clothes from the bag inside the drawers in the hotel room,” the probable cause statement reads.

Brinton was charged with felony theft of moveable property without consent. If convicted, Brinton could face up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine."

Nothing Wrong With a Little Harmless Puppy Play

I don't have a problem with harmless fun between consenting adults, but when there are numerous pictures all over the internet that fly in the face of our predominantly center-right conservative culture, it's asking for controversy.  That's really what the incredibly unserious Democrats are ALL ABOUT. The Democrats and the "Biden" administration are ALL ABOUT shoving outrageous affronts to mom's and pop's sensibilities across the nation. They LIKE this kind of controversy! 

 

The Democrats are always ALL ABOUT ticking boxes for virture signaling: the 1st Lesbian (✅),  Black (✅), Haitian (✅) press secretary who is an embarassing diversity hire, a black (✅)woman (✅)Supreme Court nominee who is obviously a diversity hire and who likely coasted through "college" with the lowered standards of "affirmative action",  and now a gay(✅), "non-binary" cross-dressing (✅),  deputy, assistant secretary in the nuclear energy dept.  I don't think the "Biden" junta cares one iota about real qualifications, just pick someone or something non-standard to piss people off.   

 

THESE ARE THE MOST UNSERIOUS AND STUPID PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.  IT'S WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME: A FUCKING CLOWN SHOW FUNDED BY EXCESSIVE TAXPAYER MONEY.

This looks like fun

More fun in Academia or at a government think tank??

The "Joe Biden" Bolsheviks really want to piss people off and use the Marxist tactic of "agitate, agitate, agitate" to create discord and controversy that they can gain even more power. They are intent to turn our long-standing culture upside down, just for fun. Just because they can.

One Additional Objection

When you do drag and dress up like a girl, shave your moustache!  And a nice wig would be nice.

Is that too much to ask? 

Col. Douglas MacGregor: Ukraine is About to be Annihilated

From UNZ Review :

 “This entire conflict could have been avoided had we simply recognized Moscow’s legitimate interests in what happens in Ukraine…. What happens in Ukraine is important to Russians…. So, we could have intervened early on and said, ‘Let’s have a ceasefire and talk’, in fact, we could have listened to the Russians for the last 10 or 20 years about their concerns about what was happening inside Ukraine. And, I think now we see with the Zelensky regime– a very dangerous government that is incurably hostile to Russia (and) that responds exclusively to instructions from Washington– that has decided that it wants to fatally weaken Russia in any way possible… The solution to this is –not to join this futile and pointlessly destructive war with Moscow– (but) to get some sense into peoples’ minds in the government in Kiev.” Colonel Douglas MacGregor, “Ukraine is about to be Annihilated”, You Tube; 2:10 minute-mark

Why Isn't the WEF (and Soros) Considered a Subversive National Security Threat??

 A brave Australian Senator asks this very important question:

 

Remember that  Biden has quoted the WEF phrase "Build Back Better" many times.  It's DIRECTLY from the communist WEF Agenda.  Arrest him for his China ties, colluding with a subversive foreign organization!

Subverted:  Some of the WEF and Klaus Schwab Accolytes

Subverted:  Some of the WEF and Klaus Schwab Accolytes

The Communist / Anti-Freedom Agenda of the WEF Organization

More Bullshit Spread Far and Wide

And Why Isn't George Soros Considered a Subversive Traitor, Put on Trial and Hung from the Neck??

FTX Exposes the Bullshit "Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG), Stakeholder Capital" Virtue Signaling

From the Wall Street Journal:

Crypto dark knight Sam Bankman-Fried may have deceived investors, customers and various journalists and politicians. But now the FTX founder is at least telling the truth about a few things. Lo, he says that environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing is a fraud, and so was his progressive public posturing.

Mr. Bankman-Fried on Wednesday tweeted a rambling account attempting to explain how he managed to lose billions of dollars in FTX customer funds. “I was on the cover of every magazine, and FTX was the darling of Silicon Valley,” he noted. As a result, “we got overconfident and careless.” There’s an understatement for the digital ages.

Mr. Bankman-Fried virtue-signaled by committing to make FTX “carbon neutral” and donating generously to fashionable progressive causes such as a foundation working to provide solar energy in the Amazon River basin. “We’re giving millions each year to launch sustainability related initiatives,” he said in an April Forbes magazine interview with—you can’t make this up—Brazilian super-model Gisele Bündchen.

Meanwhile, he was leveraging FTX customer funds to make risky, ill-timed bets. “Problems were brewing. Larger than I realized,” he tweeted. “In the future, I’m going to care less about the dumb, contentless, ‘good actor’ framework,” he added. “What matters is what you do—is *actually* doing good or bad, not just *talking* about doing good or *using ESG language*.”

Mr. Bankman-Fried is also acknowledging that he genuflected to regulators and Democratic lawmakers to win political protection. ESG ratings company Truvalue Labs even gave FTX a higher score on “leadership and governance” than Exxon Mobil, though the crypto exchange had only three directors on its board. The directors were Mr. Bankman-Fried, another FTX executive and an outside attorney. Truvalue Labs says FTX was given an overall “laggard” score.

“ESG has been perverted beyond recognition,” Mr. Bankman-Fried confessed in an interview this week with Vox in which he also acknowledged that his advocacy for strong crypto regulations was “just PR.”

He said he feels “bad for those who get” harmed by “this dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shiboleths [sic] and so everyone likes us.” Ah, yes, the poor saps who invest in companies because they claim to be sustainable.

Charles Hughes Smith: FTX and the Corruption of America

From OfTwoMinds Blog by Charles Hughes Smith

What all the entrenched insiders in America's parasitic, predatory elites and institutions don't dare admit is that to protect themselves from consequence, we've had to sacrifice everything else.

Thanks to the FTX swindle, we now know the cost of a get out of jail free card in America: $40 million, paid to political elites. It seems even get out of jail free cards have suffered from inflation.

With hefty "donations" (heh) to elites, all wrong-doing is swept under a very capacious carpet. Jeffrey Epstein sprinkled a few million on the elites of Harvard, and he was ushered into this elite circle as an intimate pal. The fact that he was a rapacious predator of children was of no concern. A few million showered on the right people and causes makes evil and criminality disappear.

If a financier looter showers $40 million on "the right people," mouths the "correct" phrases and issues empty promises to give away his looted billions, he becomes an instant golden boy of the right elites who have the power to protect him from consequences.

This is how America works now: in-your-face corruption is not just accepted, it's glorified. Let's score America's wealth and power elites, regardless of party or political persuasion:

Integrity: zero.

Austerity: zero.

Restraint: zero.

Humility: zero.

Responsibility: zero.

Accountability: zero.

Sacrifice for the common good: zero.

Thrift: zero.

A society whose elites are so self-serving, corrupt, unaccountable and devoid of any sense of good and evil is doomed. Consider the bleatings of America's power elite on the FTX swindle. Let's have congressional hearings on this remarkable "financial event" that caught everyone by surprise, etc.

Translation: let's stage some political theater to cloak the fact that the looters are being protected from consequences. We all know what happens if you're caught selling a nickel bag on the street: you get a tenner in a hellhole prison.

But if you bribed the right people, you can swindle billions of dollars and walk free as an insincerely apologetic victim of your own success. Golly gee, I don't understand what happened to all that money, even though I'm not exactly shy about declaring my own genius.

For reasons lost on the rest of us, investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) always come up empty. Gee, the looting was complicated and we can't figure out who might have broken the laws against fraud, collusion, embezzlement, malfeasance, etc., so we're letting everyone off the hook.

Or some sleazy, unaccountable intelligence agency is referenced in whispers that the looters are "assets" and therefore untouchable. Where exactly is the rule of law in a society where bribes, political pressure and having knowledge of elites' skeletons in the closet melt away accountability and consequences?

The rule of law in America is an illusion, a useful myth promoted by PR hacks to cover the tracks of their employers. Corporate wrong-doing--swindles, collusion, fraud, embezzlement, malfeasance--is off the charts, but nobody is responsible. The criminal corporations are duly fined, a tiny clawback of their looting that's written off as a cost of doing business.

Consider this data base of 6,300 major corporate fines and settlements from the early 1990s to 2015 compiled by Jon Morse. Nobody paid any personal fines or served any prison time for any of these thousands of violations.

There are two systems of "justice" in America: one which grants elites freedom from consequences of their toxic criminality and another one for the rest of us that imprisons hundreds of thousands in the War on Drugs Gulag.

What all the entrenched insiders in America's parasitic, predatory elites and institutions don't dare admit is that to protect themselves from consequence, we've had to sacrifice everything else. Having stripped the nation of the essential foundation of a just, enduring social order--accountability, consequence, rule of law and a grasp of the difference between good and evil--there's nothing left but sound and fury, as if they're hoping the endless political circuses and trails of bread crumbs will forever distract us from their plunder and the injustices of the irredeemably corrupt America they've fashioned to protect their wealth and power.

To paraphrase Lao Tzu, if one insists on an extreme of corruption and injustice, that extreme will not dwell long.

Disney Had to Remove a Black (Woke) Cancer to Save the Company

I woke up this morning to news that the new CEO at Disney, Bob Iger, had fired Kareem Daniel after having re-taken the role of CEO at Disney.  Here's what Fox Business news said:

On Sunday, Iger returned to his CEO position of the company, replacing Bob Chapek. On Monday, Iger announced that Kareem Daniel, the head of media and entertainment, will be leaving the company.

Daniel, who worked closely with Chapek over the last two years, was a longtime employee of Disney, starting when he was an intern working toward his MBA at Stanford.

Bob Igor was brought back to Disney this past Sunday to halt the stunning decline in Disney profits and fix the company's clash of culture with mainstream America.  Disney stock immediately jumped 10% and closed up 6% on Monday.

While Chapek was CEO, he bent a knee to the LGBT+ mob and criticized Florida's law to keep any discussion of sex, including gay sex and sexual orientations, out of school classrooms. This of course caused a big problem with Ron DeSantis and the public. Boycotts of Disney and Disney World erupted.

Cutting Out The Black "Cancer"

As soon as I heard the name Kareem, I knew they were talking about a black dude. I looked him up, and of course I was correct. In fact, Kareem is an Islamic Quranic name meaning 'kind and compassionate'. 

 

Kareem Daniel, former Disney Executive

Oh boy.

 

See my post  ESPN Shows How Black Racism Ruins Everything, to see where letting blacks run amok brings ratings disaster and destruction of the business --- really any business.  Like Disney, the owners of ESPN also had to clean house to rid themselves of the racist, woke (ie., stupid) commentary on a sports channel that was driving away viewers.  ESPN was failing because it's black "talent" failed. 

 

My problem is that that's nearly always true, but I guess people have to give it a try to see for themselves.  

It is widely understood NOW that BLM was just a sick race hustle based on lies that Leftists and Blacks believed but weren't true.  But how many fans did the NFL, MLB and other sports leagues lose when black athletes took a knee to "honor" the corrupt and dishonest farce of Black Lives Matter?  Many! The US black community bought into lies, reached an erroneous conclusions and ended up harming their leagues, their companies, their communities and their nation.

In my post Destructive Minorities and Democrat's Hall of Shame, I mention that nearly every black in Congress or elected as mayor of any major city or promoted to District Attorneys or other high levels, routinely fail, mismange, cheat, lie, and/or screw-up.  They are rarely capable.  Just look around. Marilyn Mosby, Kim Foxx, Kim Gardner-- the radical Missouri DA, Eric Adams, Lori Lightfoot, "the Squad," D.A. Alvin Bragg in NYC, Eric Holder, Barack (Barry Soweto).  Or how about Vincent Gray, Kwalme Kilpatrick, Charlie Rangel and Jesse Jackson Jr.?  How many mayors of Detroit stood trial for stealing and corruption? Washington DC re-elected Marion Barry even after he was entrapped by the FBI buying crack cocaine. LaToya Cantrell is actively destroying New Orleans -- typical of Black "officials."

The black "culture" in the US continues to be a trainwreck of stupidity, corruption, sexual depravity, immorality, violence and criminality. But that's not keeping them from being elevated to many important offices across the land where they routinely fail, mismanage, cheat, lie, steal and screw-up.

It's a trainwreck that envelopes the entire country; responsible black citizens included. And our lying media suppresses horrifying news of the widespread criminality of these people. Because of that subtle propaganda, the black American trainwreck is reaching to the highest offices in the land.

Blacks and even some Hispanics have a solid Third World mentality that begets Third World reality --even in America.  As a goup, blacks have little self-insight as to their shocking inability to create or live peacefully in a liberal democracy. They just don't get it. They don't understand it. All they are capable of is UN-CULTURE, MOB RULE with little due process. 

  

It's Our Genetic Heritage, Stupid

 

We're all are born with a genetic heritage; good or bad or mixed, that accurately predicts, within probabilities, your physical appearance, height and weight and your intelligence. Your genetic heritage also predicts your chances of academic success (IQ), your fundamental interests and abilities and even logical capability. It even probabilistically predicts your behavior and even personality traits including manners.

But the genetic heritage of non-European Africans is a very different heritage from the White European heritage. This is the reason that US Black tend not to understand "western" (Euro-centric) values that we take for granted. 

 

Christianity passed them by (but Islam and Islamic-led slavery didn't, thus the name Kareem). The Greek and Roman civilizations, and their cultural contributions, passed them by.  The Magna Carta passed them by.  European Rennaissance passed them by. European classical art, architecture and music passed them by.  The 18th century Enlightenment passed them by.  All the history political philosphies that ended-up in the US Constitution passed them by.  

 

But Marxism DIDN'T pass them by.  And it's still a cancer on African and African American "culture." They, and others, have that cancer within them. Now, it's morphed into cultural marxism termed "Woke."

 

Woke Bullshit and Lies

 

Woke is a black thing (and word).  "Woke" basically means aligned with the black mob and their fictitious beliefs, also meaning you're glorifying the stupid and the illogical.  It's a huge loser everywhere.  Systemic racism, Critical Race Theory, Hands up, don't shoot, BLM are all lies and bullshit invented by Cultural Marxists and Leftists in slavish devotion to, or denial of, Black stupidity.  It's really black "cultural Marxism." 

 

Disney fell into this disastrous "woke" quagmire of bullshit---thanks in part to Kareem Daniel and his supervisor Mr. Chapek.  "Woke" crap drove away Disney customers. Woke = Black = Destruction of Civilization.

This story is a perfect example of: 

1) promoting people, who are not that well-enough qualified to prestigious universities (affirmative action) and then given high positions in government or corporations (more affirmative action), 

2) not recognizing that US black culture is largely incompatible with mainstream, Eurocentric US culture.  

3) failing to see that it is overwhelmingly true that promoting US Blacks, regardless of background, to high positions in government, academia or the corporate world routinely brings mostly destruction, culture clash and/or corruption.  

And as a group, US blacks have little self-insight as to their rather shocking inability to live peacefully in a liberal democracy. They often just don't get it. They largely don't understand it. All they are capable of is UN-CULTURE, MOB RULE with little due process. It continues even TODAY. Go to Haiti, US ghettos or Africa and you'll see what I mean.  Sorry to be so blunt.

"What would Muhammad Do?"

Some Christians, in a fun way, will respond to a problem or dilemma by asking "what would Jesus do?"     Let's play that game below by asking "what would Muhammad do?"  See the chart below.

Compare the behavior and 'values' of the "savior" of Muslims in comparison to the peace-loving, justice-seeking, "turn-the-other-cheek" savior of the Christians.

Let's see, why do we even consider Islam a religion??
