Kunstler: Is Our Jacobin/Bolshevik Freakshow About to Meet the Counter-Revolution?

A History Lesson from James H. Kunstler at The Daily Reckoning:
 
The florid carbuncle of Woke-Maoist lawfare weeps its vile effluvium across the social landscape, poisoning whatever it touches, and nothing in the armory of reason, principle or good faith avails to heal it.

Sickness rages through the body politic. You have lost faith in all the doctors, and they have lost faith in themselves. The fever intensifies. The crisis is upon us. Which way will fate turn us? Toward death or recovery?

The poison killing our country is pervasive untruth. Every institution we have relied on to run the public interest has become a factory churning out lies, evasions and misdirection — not unlike the way mRNA “vaccines” turned the cells in your bodies into tiny generators of spike proteins destroying your organs.

Likewise, half the population, apparently, thinks this is a good thing, that we need more lawfare — the perversion of law by attorney perverts — and that we need ever more lies, evasions and misdirection (just as the degenerates who run Harvard declare their student body needs more mRNA boosters to remain in school).

Since the doctors have all failed — miserably and dishonorably — America needs an exorcism.

The poisons in our system are actual persons carrying out their programmed assignments, just as the spike proteins in the bodies of millions act as individual agents of destruction in your body.

Why Do They Do It?

What explains these people’s devotion to untruth? What motivates them? Can it possibly be the mere perqs and comforts of their positions? Are they answering a call? And who is issuing that call?

Or are they just trapped by their many years of lying continually, fearful of getting cast into prison? Are you asking yourselves: What will satisfy these maniacs? Anything short of the ruin of our country? What will their coveted power be worth in a ruined country?

It’s almost like they’re trying to foment a revolution. Speaking of revolution, let’s talk about revolution for a bit.

What’s most amazing about the fiasco that was the French Revolution is that it happened at exactly the same time that the United States successfully organized themselves into an orderly and effective government following the American Revolution.

George Washington was elected and sworn in by April of 1789, with the backing of an exemplary constitution assembled by the best minds in the land.

The Bastille fell in July that same year. France then fell into a years’ long orgy of beheading and chaos that went nowhere until 1799 when an artillery officer named Bonaparte put an end to it by sheer force of personality.

France Didn’t Follow America’s Example

Of course, France had assisted America in concluding our revolt against King George — surely you remember the Marquis de Lafayette from your high school history class (or has he been replaced by George Floyd?).

There were plenty of Frenchmen still on the American scene during the years following the British surrender at Yorktown in the fall of 1781. Some of them must have kept tabs on the Constitutional Convention, May to September 1787, out of which came our blueprint for managing national affairs, and not a few of these Frenchmen were active in their own revolution which kicked off two years later.

By the way, Thomas Jefferson was in Paris from 1784 until autumn of 1789, months after the Bastille fell. He succeeded Ben Franklin as minister there to negotiate trade agreements (Ben went to London as ambassador). John Adams was also on the scene in Paris as our ambassador there when Jefferson arrived.

These Americans met daily and chatted endlessly with France’s political players. The American Articles of Confederation were in effect then, to be replaced by the improved U.S. Constitution in 1787.

The people of France, including the various elites involved in public life, royal, haut bourgeoise, lawyers and generals, might have taken a lesson from the American experience of how to successfully come out of a political tribulation. Alas, they simply could not get their act together.
The Rise of the Jacobins

Rewind a little to 1793 in Paris, the revolution in full swing: King Louis XVI went to the guillotine in January. The National Convention had replaced the National Assembly as the furnace of political action.

The radical Jacobin faction, led by Robespierre and Saint-Just, coalesced into a power-seizing majority there. They took their name from a political club founded by anti-royalists, but their platform became increasingly extreme as the revolution lurched toward pandemonium.

During their year in power, the Jacobins turned the life of the nation upside down in their zealous quest to create a perfectly equitable society. They abolished the church (and replaced it with their own “Cult of the Supreme Being”).

They changed the week from seven days to 10 days, they changed the names of all the months of the calendar. (1792 was denoted “the Year One.”) They put in price and wage controls while churning out money (paper assignats) which triggered (voila) monetary inflation!

They confiscated grain from farmers all over the country. They condemned thousands (estimate: 20,000 to 40,000) of political enemies to the guillotine in their “Reign of Terror.” In short, the Jacobins made a bloody mess of things and ticked off a lot of their countrymen.

By the summer of 1794 (in their renamed month of Thermidor), everybody else finally had enough of the Jacobin nightmare. On July 27, Robespierre was at the rostrum once again denouncing his enemies and crying for blood when the out-group members present started throwing food at him and shouting him down.

America’s Looming “Thermidorian Reaction”

That was the magic moment when everything flipped — the shock of recognition that the Jacobins had lost power. Just like that! The chamber fell into a melee, a lot of shoving and shouting. . . Robespierre and his cronies were chased across town to the city hall (Hotel de Ville) and barricaded themselves inside.

The mob broke through and arrested them. Somewhere in the confusion a policeman shot Robespierre in the face, shattering his jaw (no more speeches for you!)… and the very next day, Robespierre, Saint-Just and twenty of their associates had their appointment with “the national razor.”

This event became known as the Thermidorian Reaction. The insane Jacobin program of terror and social derangement was swiftly abolished. Nothing like it was seen again until the Bolsheviks, the Maoists and the Khmer Rouge came along in the 20th century.

And now, in our time, we have the cultural Maoists, with their open border, their lust for another world war, their drive for censorship, their sadistic lawfare, their race and sex hustles, their compulsive lying, and their sick destruction of every norm and boundary in daily life.

America is headed for its own Thermidorian Reaction. It’ll end up being called something else, of course, because it is a different time, place, and set of circumstances. But it feels close, doesn’t it?

Everybody I know or correspond with mentions this feeling that something is going to blow in our country, and pretty soon. The air is alive with it, just as the air is alive with portents of spring.

Are you waiting for it?

RFK Jr.'s Response to the SOTU Hits it Out of the Park

From The Vigilant Fox on Substack:

“Neither my uncle nor my father would recognize the version of America that we have today,” independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. said in his State of the Union response. Here’s his full 9 minute speech and it’s a masterpeice:

He firmly declared, “Enough is enough,” to the government’s lack of interest in addressing these 21 disturbing realities:

#1 - “We’ve become a nation of chronic illness, of violence, of loneliness, depression, and division and poverty.”

#2 - “Our great cities are becoming tent encampments.”

#3 - “Modern-day Hooverville is filled with undocumented immigrants and dispossessed Americans and people living in their cars, plagued by mental illness and addiction and despair.”

#4 - “Our border has come under the control of criminal drug cartels that traffic in desolation and fentanyl — and in busloads of desperate human beings.”

#5 - “Our children are drowning in a crisis of alienation, of dispossession, and complete disconnection from their communities.”

#6 - “We’ve lost far more of our young people to drugs in the last decade than in the 20-year Vietnam war.”

#7 - “We’ve printed nine centuries’ worth of money in a little over a decade and spent $8 trillion on regime change wars. Those wars have made America less safe, our country less strong, and the world far less stable, while sending prices through the roof.”

#8 - “As our infrastructure falls apart, tens of millions of young Americans no longer even dream of owning their own home.”

#9 - “All the new wealth of the last generation has gone to the billionaires and to transnational corporations while our tattered middle class, our infrastructure, our industry, have been hollowed out from the inside.”

#10 - “The public debt has gone from about $5 trillion under President George W. Bush to $34 trillion today.”

#11 - “US household debt is at a record high of $17.3 trillion.”

#12 - “Our true unemployment rate is 23%.”

#13 - “Young parents face housing, grocery and childcare costs that are unaffordable.”

#14 - “Too many Americans are living bleak and hopeless lives.”

#15 - “We rank 40th globally in our people’s health and wellness.”

#16 - “Out of the richest countries in the world, the United States is 35th in child poverty rates.”

#17 - "We rank 36th in literacy and 45th in press freedom."

#18 - “We have one of the highest cancer rates in the world, and our life expectancy now ranks 59th, according to the World Bank.”

#19 - “We now have the worst health outcomes in the rich world, the highest maternal mortality rates, the highest number of gun deaths per capita, and the highest number of teen pregnancies.”

#20 - “According to CDC, 60% of Americans have at least one chronic condition. When my uncle was president, only 6% of Americans had chronic disease.”

#21 - “And all of these plights fall heaviest on our young people:

• Four in ten of them suffer from depression.

• Half of them have considered suicide.

• One in ten has anxiety.

• One in ten has ADHD.

• One in five is obese.

“I want to tell you right now that we can still restore that America, the America that almost was and yet may be,” KennFromedy said. “But we have to start by being honest with ourselves.”

Trump Tells Crooked Joe and his Insane, Lying Band of Traitors and Bolsheviks: "You're Fired!"

 Trump responds to braindead Biden's SOTU address.

Transcript from The Vigilant Fox at Substack:

Joe Biden is on the run from his record and lying like crazy to try and escape accountability for the horrific devastation he and his party have created. All the while, they continue the very policies that are causing this horror show to go. We cannot take it any longer as a country. Joe Biden’s sad excuse for a State of the Union address aside.

Here are the facts: When I left office, we gave Joe Biden the most secure border in US history. We gave him Remain in Mexico [policy]. Very tough to get, but I got it. Safe Third agreements, the asylum ban, Title 42, 571 miles of border wall, rapid deportations, and much more. We had the safest border in the history of our country. As soon as he got in, Crooked Joe and his radical left lunatics deliberately dismantled each and every one of those policies that were so good — that gave us this best border, according to Tom Holman, according to Brandon Judd, the top people, they said it was the single best border we’ve ever had in recorded history.

What’s happened now is a horror show. The country, our country, is being laughed at all over the world. Over the past three years, Biden has actively aided and abetted the importation of millions and millions of illegal alien migrants and resettled them into your communities at any time during the past three years.

Crooked Joe Biden, and he is crooked as you can be, and the most incompetent president we’ve ever had, could have called off the invasion. But to this day, he is keeping the hordes of illegal migrants and illegal aliens pouring into the country.

By the time his term is up, we could have close to 20 million people in our country. And we have no idea from where they come. We have no idea who they are. They have no identification. Many come from mental institutions. Many come from prisons. They’re terrorists. We have a calamity the likes of which we’ve never seen before.

The very first bill Joe Biden sent to Congress was a plan to turn illegal aliens into voting citizens. That’s just what we need. No matter what Crooked Joe says, his actions prove his priority is to import a colossal new illegal alien population and let them all stay. My priority is securing our border and sending crooked Joe’s illegals back home.

Likewise, the sight of a feeble Joe Biden talking about “shrinkflation,” the term he uses, is one of the most ridiculous things this country has ever seen. Shrinkflation is just another way of saying inflation. It means that you’re losing a lot of money because these people don’t know what they’re doing.

It was all caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the people that surround him. And they are radical left Marxists and fascists and communists and socialists. We have people running our country, the likes of which we have never seen before. He and the communists and his party looted trillions of dollars from you and spent it on illegal aliens and the green news scam, triggering the highest inflation in many, many decades. If your packages are getting smaller, that’s the reason why.

Under my leadership, there was no inflation. We had the greatest economy in the history of the world. It’s time to tell Crooked Joe Biden, “You’re fired!”

 

Armstrong: The Democrats are Destroying our Country, our Society, and the World

From Martin Armstrong “NY and the End of the American Way of Life”:


Once upon a time, in the United States, we, the people, began our classroom day with the Pledge of Allegiance:

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,”

Those days are gone, and we can no longer depend on the Courts and the legal systems for Truth, Fairness, and Justice for all, which we were told was the American Way of Life! How many millions went off to war and died to defend that principle they have torn to shreds in New York City? The American Way of Life is dead. The Democrats have allowed our nation to be flooded with people who do not share our culture, our philosophies, or our history solely to ensure they win at all costs.

There is no longer any difference we have with Russia and China and how they treat the people. The United States now has more people in prison than China, which has 1.5 billion people compared to our 300 million. We still have more people in prison than they do. Are Americans just the most corrupt people in the world? Or is it that our government is becoming the most corrupt in the world? You have a 500% greater chance of going to prison in America because there is no more liberty and justice for all.

The Courts have turned into Totalitarian Dictatorships devoid of any accountability, and the proof of that is the mere conviction rate proving that we are the enemy of those in power. Data published by the Pew Research Center in 2019 highlighted how federal prosecutors have a 99.6% conviction rate. To put those numbers in perspective, U.S. Attorneys filed 79,704 cases in 2018. Of those, only 320 resulted in acquittals. As Pew Research wrote: “Nearly 80,000 people were defendants in federal criminal cases in fiscal 2018, but just 2% of them went to trial. “ Any criminal lawyer in New York will tell you to plead guilty and take a deal because you CANNOT win in New York, and when you lose in trial, you will get 3 times as much time in prison. You and your family are routinely threatened to force you to plead to crimes you never committed so prosecutor can further their personal careers.

Rakoff Judge

The system is so bad that Judge Rakoof was thoroughly disgusted and wrote a book on his experience on the bench in New York City. The title is “Why the innocent plead guilty and the guilty of free.” I cannot express strongly enough that you have virtually no chance of a fair trial EVER in the United States. Julian Assange will never survive the false imprisonment the USA will impose to ensure he will die before ever seeing daylight.

[Doug Here: Here’s a reviewer comment on the book at Amazon. From ‘William’:

The criminal justice system is almost exclusively a system of plea bargaining. The outcome is largely determined by prosecutors alone. Fewer than 3% of Federal criminal cases went to trial. In the states, it is approximately 5% of state criminal cases that go to trial. It is the prosecutor, not the judge, who effectively exercises the sentencing power. Today, as many as two-thirds of all individual civil litigants in state trial courts are representing themselves without a lawyer. Individuals not represented by lawyers lose cases at considerably higher rates than similar individuals who are represented by lawyers. In the most serious criminal cases, eyewitness identifications appear to be the single greatest contributor to wrongful convictions. Most legal disputes are rarely decided by judges]

And if they cannot put you on trial, they will kill you and swear it was suicide. Investigations are always cover-ups like Epstein. Nothing but nothing someone is charged with should EVER be taken as truth. Even Madoff quickly pled guilty to save his family, yet his son still committed suicide. There, too, the banks claimed they had no idea. That was a lie and ABSOLUTELY impossible. He was asked if the banks knew before he died – he said yes!

The legal system is so corrupt that even the court-appointed lawyers are only there to ensure you take a plea. Afterall, they have a virtual perfect track record of 99.6% losses. How can you beat that? The wins are typically the people they have killed in prison and call suicide, like Epstein. Look closely, and they always just happen to be the cases that would expose the government. Julian Assange will most likely be their next victim. Judge Rakoff bucked the system, and they did not like him for that.

I was interviewed by a journalist when they saw the bank was illegally trading in my accounts, like MF Global. They asked me if they were laundering money for the Russian Mafia “AS THEY WERE DOING IN MADOFF!” I said I had no idea. I only saw all the bogus trades that were then backed out as errors when I assumed they were parking things in my accounts. Yet, of course, if the “error” came from one account and was taken out to another, then it was money laundering. The newspaper would not allow her to publish it. The forensic accountant told the court they never saw so many “canceled trades,” but the court also covered that up. I refused to invest $10 billion in their Russia scheme, so they were using my accounts for money laundering involving the oligarchs and the attempt to seize Russia.

The Elections are rigged, the Courts are corrupt, and the government is rapidly becoming the enemy of the people. All of these male illegal immigrants of military age will be compelled to sign up for the military to get citizenship and be sent off to fight in World War III.

Trump’s civil fraud trial in New York will expose how corrupt this prosecution has been and the entire legal system. It’s an international disgrace. In a 92-page decision, this morally void Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay a massive $355 million fine, plus more than $98 million in prejudgment interest no less. Engoron’s extraordinary ruling strategically prohibited Trump from serving as an officer or director of any business in the state for three years, giving the judge the power to appoint a prosecutor to run his company and destroy it in no time. Even George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley took issue with this, saying that “[e]ven the New York Times agreed that it could not find a single case in history where this statute was used against an individual or a company that did not commit a criminal offense, go bankrupt, or leave financial victims.”

Engoron found Trump was liable for overstating the values of his assets on bank loan applications. That is a common negotiating practice, like haggling in a biazare in Iran. It’s expected and an insult if you do not. Considering that New York City is the world’s financial capital, the city’s bankers walk on water and are among the most sophisticated on the planet. Developers always inflate property valuations, and banks have their own appraisers who simply adjust them down. According to Turley, during the trial, “witnesses [loan officers] testified that they wanted to do more business with Trump, who was described as a ‘whale’ client with high yield business opportunities.”

It is the same when trading. The banks try to guess if you will buy or sell and will move the quotes in the direction they anticipate you will trade. It is always a negotiation. That is how high-stakes finance deals are done.

The reason I recommend that Trump file for bankruptcy IMMEDIATELY in Florida is because NY law is also rigged, and this is why the Judge did what he did. Under New York law, Trump is not allowed to even appeal his ruling without depositing the full amount in a court account, and he has only 30 days to raise that money, which is CASH! If he cannot, they may accept a bond, but then they will determine what his property is worth, which will always be well below market value. The Courts are far more corrupt than the people they pretend to judge.

The court is itching to seize his property and sell it for pennies on the dollar to their best friends, who are already licking their lips and rubbing their hands at the thought of buying Trump Tower for pennies on the dollar. Judge Engoron has just denied former Trump’s request for a 30-day stay of judgment after defense attorneys protested the attorney general’s “rush” for enforcement.

Now, they want to prevent Trump from leaving NYC so they can imprison him to stop the election. New York City is out of control. They are so full of themselves, and judges think that they are gods, and once they make a decree, everyone bows down and says – yes, my lord and master.

If Congress does not intervene – we are screwed as a nation.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James is an elected Democrat. She made it clear from the outset that her goal was to destroy Trump. She actually said:

“This illegitimate president [Trump] — I look forward to going into the office of the attorney general every day, suing him, and then going home.”

This has been a biased prosecution with the sole intent of prosecuting Trump to interfere in the 2024 election – plain and simple. Because Biden controls the Justice Department, they will never prosecute anyone for doing this.

She has turned this law upside down. It was intended to protect consumers. In fact, no one was defrauded. All of the loans were fully repaid. Still, this judge and prosecutor conspired to violate everyone’s right to vote in the 2024 election. Any business can now be torn apart using this. They claim that you overvalued your assets on a loan the bank never used in its decision anyway.

I have not heard from one institutional client inside or outside the United States who thought this was reasonable. The overwhelming view is that this was a deliberate political hit job, just the latest blow in the Democrats’ relentless campaign against Trump to ensure their insane agenda continues, and the Republicans on Capitol Hill are not defending the Constitution or the people.

This judgment sent a shock wave around the world, and the rigged system that allows them to seize Trump’s assets in 30 days is a warning you better get the HELL OUT OF NYC ASAP! This was the last straw. Get out of all stocks with a New York address and sell NY state and city bonds ASAP. This judgment is so outrageous, and they intend to confiscate Trump’s properties NOW just to destroy him completely to interfere in the 2024 election.

Governor Hochul was so stupid during an interview on a radio talk show with John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM that she tried to reassure business owners that it’s safe to do business in the state. Her remarks made the case that this was political and that Trump was targeted because he was the Republican candidate. She said :

“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior.”

Hochul admits that this was political, or every New York developer who has ever overstated the value of a property on a loan application is now at risk of being bankrupted and all their assets seized by making the fine so large it cannot be paid in 30 days.

The Democrats have weaponized the legal system everywhere against Trump, and their idiot base is cheering for the demise of the nation. The New York Post said it best:

“Democratic elites will chuckle into their martinis this weekend at the verdict, but your victory is pyrrhic. You’ve made Donald Trump a political martyr.”

My family has fought in every war since the American Revolution. Everything they fought for has been torn to shreds. I am surprised that anyone would now fight and die for a country that no longer respects the rule of law, the Constitution, or civilization. The clock is ticking. It will be time to turn out the lights by 2032.


I can now see why the computer is projecting a landslide for Trump. The Democrats have gone way too far. They are no longer supporters of the American Way of Life, and the computer projections for 2028 look even worse.

The Democrats are Destroying our Country, our Society, and the World.

The UK Going Full Orwell- As Police Arrest 3300 Citizens for Internet 'Thought Crimes'

The brilliant Russian, Konstantin Kisin, who lives the UK, exposes the tyranny and hypocracy accelerating in the UK. A kind of Nazism is emerging in all of Europe and in the Anglo world. It’s unbelievable to hear his 5 minute talk.

Listen to this 5 minute shocking expose:


I hope you subscribe to Konstantine’s YouTube channel called Triggernometry. It’s time that we start listening to extremely intelligent Russians and even Vlad Putin as they’ve seen in their history the same march to tyranny and disaster.

As I wrote in my post The West Is Collapsing As Russia is Rising:

The US and Europe appear to be entering a period of tyranny and economic collapse while Russia is liberalising and rebuilding their culture after the catastrophic collapse of communism. Russia is rising while The West is entering their collapse. 

Ironically, it is Putin who has been recently commenting that Russia saw the same type of hysteria, tyranny and conflict that we're seeing in The West during their 1917 Bolshevik revolution.  In my post: Putin Warns the West of Our Creeping Bolshevism and Ultimate Suicide, Putin make note of the similarities of the Russian Revolution with the gathering political and hysteria sweeping the West today:

Russia’s president Vladimir Putin was recently making a case that western civilization is on the brink of collapse during a discussion at the recent Valdai Club meeting. Putin likened the Woke situation and the gender fluidity nonsense in America to what happened when the Bolcheviks took over Russia in 1917.

Putin said: “After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones — all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today.”

The West ignores Putin's comments and insights -- because 'Hitler.'  Also see my post Putin's Historic Role In Rebuilding Russia and Russian Culture for the most contrary take on the Russian leader.

My New Lifestyle: Digital Nomad

As a retiree, I’m adopting this new lifestyle (starting last year where I posted a series of “Travel Logs” from my travel to Thailand #1, Bangkok Thailand #2, Angkor Wat and Siem Reap in Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Phuket, Thailand, KL in Malaysia and two posts from Nepal: Pictures from Kathmandu and Pokhara and one on the culture of Nepal)

Here’s a very done video by a so-called digital nomad named Joose. He specializes in informative videos of his stays as a working digital nomad. Here’s one that is extremely well done; beautiful, colorful, exciting, informative and interesting. It’s worth a look at just 12 minutes:


Soon I will be traveling back to SE Asia for up to about 6 months. My plan is to go to Vietnam now that they offer a 3 month tourist visa and hang out in Da Nang, Hanoi, Dalat and maybe visit and stay at Nha Trang — featured in another post from Joose (just 10 minutes):


 Stay tuned, you don’t know where Doug will go next!

A Jim Quinn Twofer! Why They Are Creating $1 TRILLION of Debt Every 100 Days AND Why “They” Are Still Running Nikki Haley

 [Doug here: If you aren't yet a conspiracy theorist, you're not paying attention!]

“There has been abundant evidence of great evil at work in the world, throughout time and in our present time. Do you really wish to be ignorant of its existence and operation?” – The Great Taking – Daniel Webb

From Jim Quinn at Burning Platform Blog:

From 2000 through 2007, while waging two wars in the Middle East, the U.S. ANNUAL Federal deficit averaged $220 billion PER YEAR. And many fiscal conservatives thought that was outrageously out of control. Well, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, the despicable scum in Congress, and the rest of the Deep State calling the shots in this military empire of delusion and debt said, HOLD MY BEER.

Just as the wheels were starting to come off in late 2019, the convenient arrival of the Covid plandemic provided the cover for these purveyors of propaganda and panic to run $3 trillion deficits and establish a new baseline of $1 trillion per year. The house of cards, built upon a crumbling foundation of debt comes crashing down when deficits are allowed to drop below $1 trillion. Running in place gets more expensive by the day.

Now it requires $1 trillion of new debt every 100 days to achieve nothing but remaining static economically. The regime media pundits and the cabal on Wall Street tell us the economy is doing great. No recession in sight. All is well. The dumbed down and distracted ignorant masses don’t realize all the reported “economic growth” is “created” by the government, enabled by The Fed, spending billions on their wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, funneling the money into the Military Industrial Complex corporations; paying for the transportation, feeding, and housing of the illegal invading hordes; hiring more government drones to harass the citizenry, and desperately trying to prop up a corrupt tottering empire in its final death throes.


Anyone with even the slightest mathematical acumen knows increasing the national debt at a rate of $1 trillion every 100 days is a death wish. Why would those pulling the strings behind the scenes of this acceleration towards the cliff of national suicide be doing so at this point in time? It’s almost as if the November elections are a deadline for them to complete their exit strategy plan.

I believe we are entering the Great Taking phase of this clown show. They are purposely creating a global financial disaster in order to take everything you and I have. It sounds crazy, but so is adding $1 trillion of debt every 100 days. Remember, the psychopaths running this world do not care about you. In their warped view of the world, you are nothing more than a parasite to be extinguished at their whim.

WHY “THEY” ARE STILL RUNNING NIKKI HALEY

“She’s so transparently weak and sort of ridiculous and doesn’t know anything, and just thinks that jumping up and down and making these absurd blanket statements, and repeating bumper stickers, is just like leadership. A self-confident advanced society would never allow Nikki Haley to advance.” – Tucker Carlson


Also from Jim Quinn’s Burning Platform blog:

The most highly educated people in this world are often the most willfully ignorant of what is really happening. The college credentialed crowd, especially those who “earned” them within the last twenty years, are more likely than not far less intelligent than the supposed “conspiracy theorists” who have questioned every narrative spun by the masters of the universe and their regime media propagandists over the last two decades [Doug here: book learning versus common sense and wisdom. See my post “They Don’t Even Know From Where Their Food Comes.”].

The skeptics among us who assess every Deep State engineered event, designed to create outrage, fear, anger, and obedience, with the necessary suspicion and doubt, are conscious of how the real world operates and are taking precautions to navigate through the coming storms.

Among the dozens of false narratives spun by the black widow spider psychopaths, which include the Ukraine war, Gaza genocide, safe & secure border, safe and effective vaccines, safe and secure elections, the armed insurrection where no one was armed, Russiagate, declining inflation, and strong growing economy, the continuation of Nikki Haley’s ridiculously pathetic campaign for the Republican nomination. If you haven’t noticed, Trump has trounced this warmongering RINO, Liz Cheney wannabe in every primary/caucus thus far. All the other candidates dropped out, as instructed, leaving only Nimarata as the chosen option of the Deep State and their deep pocketed billionaire donors.

When something makes no sense and the behavior of a feckless politician seems irrational, there is something wicked going on behind the curtain and will not be revealed until those running the show decide it will benefit them financially, politically and increase their power over the masses. As Haley continues to pretend to be a viable candidate, with her coffers being filled by shadowy figures meeting in smokey backrooms, I was reminded of another pitiful excuse for a candidate in 2020.

A senile, old, corrupt, child sniffing coot, who was nothing more than a laughingstock on the national scene as Obama’s token establishment white guy, making a living as the Big Guy in his crackhead son’s worldwide shakedown operations in Ukraine, China and wherever he could make a buck. In case you didn’t remember, he wasn’t even an afterthought in the 2020 Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary. Bernie the commie and mayor buttplug crushed slow Joe.  He was even losing to Pocahontas.

 

Anyone with some self-respect and self awareness would have dropped out, but for some unexplainable reason he stayed in the race and miraculously “won” the nomination with his inspirational speeches and glorious vision for the country. Or was he selected by those who knew they could rig the election while the basement dummy spent his days shitting his pants and taking naps? Biden was a Trojan horse installed by the Deep State controllers of this farce of an empire. Now this drooling dementia ridden pedophile is barely functional and would clearly get trounced by Trump in the general election, even with the Democrat election rigging machine in full steal mode.

Nikki will be trounced on Super Tuesday. If she does not drop out, you know something evil is being planned. I see only two possibilities for the Deep State funding of Haley’s continued national embarrassment. They either plan to assassinate Trump or imprison him, therefore needing a useful idiot on par with Bush to continue their wars, destruction of our civil society, ultimate demise of our country, and transfer of power to a totalitarian global regime. Nikki is just the neo-con, low IQ, diversity stooge for the job. Their efforts to imprison Trump seem to be failing, so the CIA, FBI, and rest of the Surveillance State traitors are likely planning a false flag assassination of Trump they can pin on a patsy who furthers one of their other false narratives.

They need Nikki, because Biden’s VP is an honest to God moron, seen as a cackling joke by 95% of Americans. Biden is finished. They will not run him in November. He will step down at the convention and be replaced by Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Gavin Newsom. All I know for sure is the next nine months will be an epic shitstorm, with potential assassinations, civil war, global war, financial chaos and collapse, and possibly the end of our nation as we know it. Buckle up, the ride is about to get bumpy.

The Africanization of America: Destroyers of Civilization and Our Ghetto Idiocracy

From Donald Jeffries at Substack

I’ve watched far too many clips of Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis’s testimony lately. It’s like the proverbial train wreck. You won't learn anything from it, you won’t feel good about it. It is gratuitous stupidity on display. Too many drivers gawk at traffic accidents. I have been gawking at this obscenity.

DESTROYERS OF OUR CIVILIZATION; PROVING THAT THERE IS NO RACIAL MONOPOLY ON IDIOCY AND DESTRUCTION

Affirmative Action may have once served some kind of purpose. Perhaps to be implemented for a very brief time, until the playing field was leveled. But that time has long passed. Fani Willis is absolutely the most ignorant, ill-educated, and unqualified person for someone with her position that I have ever seen. As a radical blue-collar worker in the late 1970s and 1980s, I toiled alongside and socialized with literally hundreds of Blacks. None of them went to college, let alone law school. All of them were more articulate than Fani Willis. She sounds just like the average woman working in housekeeping did back than. Except that those housekeepers weren’t generally dishonest, or virulent racists.

OUR ABYSMAL PUBLIC "SERVANTS" OF COLOR: FUCK-UP LLOYD AUSTIN, BEETLEJUICE, LETICIA JAMES, LA TOYA THE DESTROYA (THE WORSE MAYOR IN AMERICA), AFFIRMATIVE ACTION APPOINTEE KETANJI, FANI WILLIS, SQUAD MEMBERS, RACIST HENRY KENDI, DISGRACED CLAUDINE GAY

Willis represents the next step in what is the ghettoization of America. Public officials didn’t used to sound like Fani Willis. People scrubbing toilets for a living did. There was a Black man in the Senate back in the day named Ed Brooke. He spoke English as correctly as any other dishonest “representative.” Look at Colin Powell. Or the much demonized Clarence Thomas. I think the main objection to them, on the part of depraved Social Justice Warriors, is that they don’t speak ebonics. They don’t “keep it real.” A young Black conservative who has built a big following, Candace Owens, is looked at in the same way. Not just because she speaks correct English, but because of what she says. She calls out ghetto culture. Which has become U.S. culture.

I would be all in favor of an Affirmative Action that gives those from impoverished backgrounds- of all races- a chance at upward mobility. But they’d still have to be qualified. What we’re seeing is an exclusively Black phenomenon. Can you picture some “White trash” from a trailer park, with similar English proficiency and impulse control as Fani Willis, being admitted to any law school in the country, let alone becoming district attorney? You don’t see any White talking heads, on the news or even in sports, who butcher the language the way so many Black talking heads do. What we are seeing is only slightly less ridiculous than when the federal government installed illiterate slaves into the U.S. Congress during Reconstruction.

Decades of capitulation to ghetto culture have helped to build the mess that is America 2.0. I guess I’m the only White American who doesn’t find life in the “hood” fascinating. I’m not interested in “gang bangers.” I’m repulsed by them, as all decent people should be. A century ago, the media began glamorizing gangsters like Al Capone. Tough guys portraying gangsters onscreen were the toast of Hollywood. While millions of Americans enjoyed gangster movies, they didn’t mimic the lifestyle. They didn’t pretend to be “gangstas,” throwing up ridiculous hand signs that are often Satanic in nature as well. They didn’t ostracize those in their community who read, and wanted to be educated. Fox News can dutifully say “African-American” all they want. It’s a stupid, divisive term, and serves to notify others of one’s cuck status.

During the first few decades of Affirmative Action, the scores of Black talking heads on local and national news all spoke flawless English. There was the sense that, even though their Blackness had vaulted them to the top of the heap, there were minimal requirements to be met. How much skill, really, does it take to read a teleprompter? But you were at least expected to read it in proficient English. Ebonics, for instance, would have been unthinkable. I don’t know if White Americans, already starting to cuck out at that time, would have objected, but I guess maybe it was thought that they might. I never watch local news, and only rarely watch national news, but my sense is that, generally speaking, this is still largely the case.

The early Black talking heads in the world of sports, like Irv Cross, again spoke perfectly fine English. But then multiple ex-players, all too fluent in ebonics, like Michael Irvin and Shannon Sharpe, were handed “analyst” or commentator jobs, in which they simply “kept it real,” “analyzing” football and basketball they way they do in Black barber shops. The louder the better. The way they did back when I was a Blue collar worker, discussing the sports we all loved. Except that those Black co-workers of mine were earning an unimpressive wage. They were certainly more receptive to my belief that sports were fixed. They were just as knowledgeable and entertaining, but no one would have suggested they were ESPN-worthy. Just as no one would have promoted the average Black housekeeper back then as a potential district attorney.

In 1996, America crossed a huge racial line in the sand with the Oakland Ebonics Resolution. The school board, which presumably wasn’t comprised of gangstas or old school rappers, announced a goal of “maintaining the legitimacy and richness of such language.” Think about this; a group of alleged educators gave its stamp of approval to the loudest slang, the most offensive pidgin English, the world has ever seen. But this was 1996. The resolution was soundly condemned by the likes of Jesse Jackson, Maya Angelou, and the Clinton administration. Gradualism. By 2007, the Linguistic Society of America, the preeminent group of professional linguists, passed a unanimous resolution declaring that the Oakland school board was correct in their decision and lent their support as language professionals.

Once “ebonics” became an accepted thing, it was essentially over for the King’s English. Films, television shows, and the music world promoted ebonics nonstop. It was a celebration of incorrect English. And inevitably, it was decreed that proper English, and basic grammar, were “racist.” Just like mathematics. I guess they’re still working on an ebonics form of arithmetic. Common Core math comes close. We all grew up- at least I did- with teachers and parents politely correcting you if you made a grammatical error. Mixed up your plurals and singulars. Now virtually all Black public figures mix them up constantly. It’s part of “keeping it real.” I’ve seen Black graduates of Yale and Harvard speak like those housekeepers of yore. As a mere community college dropout, I shouldn’t sound more articulate than Ivy Leaguers.

Blacks are only about thirteen percent of the U.S. population. This would be an incomprehensible statistic to an alien from another world watching American television. Blacks utterly dominate in the worlds of sports and entertainment. And network “news.” Watch the Grammys. Tell me what the racial breakdown is there. Just a bit disproportionate to the numbers in the population. Blacks have been gifted positions of prominence in all the fields everyone out there in the hinterland fantasizes about. Music stars. Movie stars. Comedians. College and pro athletes. Local and national TV anchors. There are as many Blacks in these desirable roles now as there were working menial jobs at the hospital where I was employed, more than forty years ago. But the Black public figures actually appear to be less educated.

In politics, you have ebonics queens like Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee. Again, I could take two random Black laundry workers from back in the day, insert them in Congress in their place, and no one would know the difference. And they’d be a lot less corrupt. Our esteemed vice president, Kamala Harris, is Black. Well, about half-Black. They don’t mention the Indian part. But the point is that, there has never been a White female vice president. What are the odds that the first one would be a “person of color?” As distinguished from a colored person. Which is a racist label. It’s a ghetto thing, you wouldn’t understand. I think we all can agree that Harris didn’t beat out all the White women on merit. She is a laughingstock, a national embarrassment. She has the maturity and intellect of a teenage valley girl. We’ve never had a meritocracy. We now have a ghettoized Idiocracy.

[Doug here: from my much less ‘refined’ post “Destructive Minorities and Democrat’s Hall of Shame” here’s some horrible and stupid people given important jobs and screwing-up horribly:]

The VAST Majority of Black Politicians Are Stupid and Corrupt: From top left: Sorry Ass "Prosecutor" Kim Gardner, Dumb and Dumber: Liars Smollett & Kim Foxx, Brandon Johnson, Alvin Bragg, Various Criminal Baltimore politicians and finally Cheater, Liar and Kook Marilyn Mosby

Looking at the political landscape, is there any question that the first female president will also be a “person of color?” Sorry, White women, Hillary was apparently your last chance. How can any White woman compete with the likes of Michelle Obama? Stacy Abrams? Even Nikki Haley is not White, as she regularly reminds us. That’s sound political strategy. Who wants to be White now? It’s not like those “White Supremacists” who remain the “greatest threat to democracy” are helping anybody. That’s a strange aspect of their all-encompassing power. They run everything, we are told, and yet publicly promote the idea that Whites should be subservient, not “supreme.” I hope someday to actually meet one.

There are millions of hard-working Black Americans, who are living paycheck to paycheck, and have less than $1000 in savings, which is the case for over seventy percent of all workers in this country. I don’t like generalizations, but it’s indisputable that every Black public figure now is above the law. Not held to the same standards or expectations. Black athletes you’ve never heard of- fourth string NFL special teamers- routinely have serious criminal charges just dismissed against them. Our over crowded prisons are full of Black people, many of them railroaded and innocent of the crimes they were convicted for. But they aren’t full of Black public figures. The ones who’ve been “selected,” as Black journalist and podcaster Jason Whitlock contends.

Whitlock’s show “Fearless” is one of the best podcasts out there. Because he’s Black, he’s confident enough to criticize Black pathology. He ridicules and makes fun of ghetto culture, which would be prime fodder for any comedian, if politically incorrect humor were allowed. It isn’t. I don’t know how Whitlock gets away with what he does. His work exposing ESPN talking head Stephen A. Smith’s imaginary college basketball career was a rare piece of investigative journalism. He went so far down the rabbit hole that he apparently discovered that Smith recruited a bunch of short crisis actors to play the part of his supposed college teammates. Smith reacted predictably, with vicious name-calling, and as always, playing that magical race card.

Recently, the mayor of Kansas City spoke out against those referring to the “youth” who killed one person and wounded others during a Super Bowl victory parade as a “thug.” He literally cared more about “disrespecting” a murderer than the murder itself. The “youths” will be tried as juveniles, even thought they are both legal adults. I’m sure the same thing would happen if they were Whites wearing MAGA hats. We’ve seen plenty examples of this. It is entirely possible now for a Black to be caught killing someone, and blame it on being called a racial slur. In such cases, the racial slur is considered the greater offense by the lunatics in charge of this crumbling country. So “thug” is now a “racist” term? Do these social justice warriors not believe it’s possible for a Black to be a thug? But other races can? Well, Whites can. Is the word just going to be banned now, unless it is directed at a lowly White?

The term the Kansas City mayor (who shockingly enough was Black) used in criticizing the use of the word “thug” was “dog whistle.” This is an increasingly popular way of preventing any criticism of nonwhite behavior. Kind of like the equally Orwellian term “mansplaining,” which diminishes any male opinion women don’t like. The ADL used to infer that referring to “international bankers” or “globalists” was “code” for “the Jews.” Dog whistles, code, mansplaining; it’s all about restricting speech, discrediting certain views. You have to be careful when you open your mouth in America 2.0, if you’re White. And sane. Don’t refer to any Black criminality. Don’t “misgender” a “marginalized group.” Blacks are the most “historically marginalized” of all groups. They are the Beatles in the victimhood sweepstakes.

Am I being disrespectful? After all, it is Black History Month. This ghetto culture is certainly not the biggest problem in America 2.0. The counterfeit banking system. The massive disparity of wealth. The Third World infrastructure. The systemic corruption at every level of the system. But it is the most noticeable. The loudest, if you will. And the Fani Willis types are part of that systemic corruption. Affirmative Action assures corruption. Part of the role prominent Blacks play is to claim to be “victims,” even when they are wealthier than ninety nine percent of all Whites. And it’s becoming more dangerous. United Airlines and others are now using “DEI” as their primary recruiting mechanism. They specifically declare that there must be fewer White male pilots. And they’ve apparently covered up a few crashes already, which featured new “DEI” pilots doing their thing. Keeping it real.

What kind of person would support a program where airplane pilots- who quite literally have the lives of all those onboard in their hands- would be beneficiaries of Affirmative Action hiring? Fani Willis may railroad innocent people, but the White prosecutors have been doing that for a long time. As objectionable as she is, her “DEI” status doesn’t put the lives of every spectator in the court in jeopardy. The same thing goes for surgeons. Do you really want an Affirmative Action surgeon to operate on you? And again, no one has criticized the White doctors more than I have. But surely those chosen for “DEI” reasons cannot possibly be any better.

Looking at the Fani Willis case, this monstrously unqualified woman has admitted to keeping some $8,500 of her campaign money. She also described keeping large amounts of cash in her home. She called the attorney questioning her a “liar” over and over again. She threw papers, and generally acted like a woman in a hairweave pulling contest. Judge Scott McAfee has been the poster child for White cuckiness, never reprimanding her, or citing her with contempt of court, which judges are normally very eager to do. This may be because McAfee contributed to Willis’s campaign. And his wife gave Willis at least two contributions. On her purported $100,000 salary, Willis has somehow built a fortune of $8 million. As Don King- two time convicted murderer turned boxing promoter- was wont to say, “What a country!”

A fellow Black Affirmative Action district attorney prosecuting Donald Trump on another of his endless politicized “crimes,” is Letitia James, who to be fair at least speaks better English than the lovely Fani. On about the same salary as Willis, she’s done even better, amassing a net worth of $15 million. Maybe she keeps a lot of cash around the house, too, like Fani Willis, drug dealers, and human traffickers. That’s how the Mafia worked, when it was a thing. Now organized crime is just out in the open. They don’t need to send out enforcers to shake down businesses. The government does that for them. Affirmative Action Goodfellas. Or Goodladies. Goodnonbinaries. Just make sure you don’t misgender them. Get their pronouns right.

It bears repeating that Black people aren’t responsible for any of this. Well, they are the ones who kept speaking ebonics, and shaming those in the “hood” that wanted to learn and rise up in society. But it was White America that “built” this, as our first half-Black president might have said. After finally letting them frequent the same business establishments as anyone else, they skipped right past the whole equality phase, and implemented Affirmative Action. From unfavored to favoritism. We never tried to hold everyone to the same standards, or make them follow the same rules. First, you had the exceptions for the wealthy, and beneficiaries of nepotism. Now you have the Black exception. If you hold them accountable as you would any non-Black, they might get loud. And angry. And cry “racism.” Whitey scared.

It’s shameful that it’s come to this. That an utter moron, and a cartoonish, corrupt, compromised moron at that, can be artificially elevated to a position of such prominence and respect. But Fani’s hardly alone. As noted, there are alleged Ivy Leaguers proudly speaking ebonics as well, although it’s unknown if they stash large amounts of cash in their homes and/or distribute it to the employees they’re sleeping with. But it’s not just ebonics. Kamala Harris, for instance, is more of a cackling, giggling Affirmative Action case. The most important qualification for any of them is loyalty to the overall narrative. For Black public figures, this means consistently stressing the reality of “racism,” even as you are paid more money in a year than all the brothers and sisters in your old “hood” will earn collectively in their lifetimes.

As comedian Katt Williams recently stated, the Blacks that are “installed” must play this role. They must be utterly obsessed about race, to the exclusion of all else. They must constantly promote Black racial idolatry, to use Jason Whitlock’s phrase. Stephen A. Smith recently said, with a straight face, that he and his Black colleagues are held to a higher standard than their White counterparts. It was if he was describing the America of 1924, not 2024. The puppet masters who are manipulating this racial division purposefully select the most arrogant and unreasonable Blacks they can for success. They are essentially crisis actors. The scripts are as predictable as celebrity tweets after a mass shooting. That’s what makes Whitlock so refreshing.

The hostility towards Whites is transparent in virtually every prominent Black person. The ones who were chosen for just such a purpose. Fani Willis, for instance, declared that “I am not going to emasculate a Black man!” from the witness stand. Now, it might have been understandable if she left out the “Black” qualifier. Clearly, she’d have no problem emasculating a White man. The racial solidarity among the Black community, which has historically resulted in them voting over 90 percent for the Democratic Party, is promoted by these Black public figures, who don’t even try to hide their own anti-White racism any longer. How many of them don’t support the ridiculous, logistically impossible idea of Reparations? Yet, knowing of this racism, almost all Whites pander to, fawn over, and often literally worship Black people.

Recently, Black comedian David Lucas joked about George Floyd. After angrily heckling him, the entire audience walked out of the show. Lucas, whose specialty is controversial, cutting-edge humor, nevertheless wound up apologizing. Just like any White in America 2.0 would do. Joke about Jesus Christ all you want (remember when the hysterical Sarah Silverman said that she hoped the Jews did kill Christ, and that “I’d fucking do it again!”) Lovely. But that’s okay. She was only blaspheming the savior of many millions. But George Floyd- a troubled drug addict with a long criminal record? That gets you “cancelled.” What does it say about a society where a George Floyd is a more revered figure than Jesus Christ?

Are any of our leaders, especially the White ones, not on board with the program, with this odious narrative? I can’t think of any. If any of them “misspeak,” and how can you do that in a land where we supposedly have free speech, they apologize on cue. They all follow a strict anti-White agenda, especially anti-White male. But most of them remain White, despite their best efforts. I don’t make predictions, but I imagine Fani Willis will be exonerated. Despite admitting to behavior that would get any non-Black public figure prosecuted, she will emerge victorious. Can we really picture that pathetic, weak cuck of a judge holding her accountable? The one who donated to her political campaign? I hope I’m wrong. She has more of a chance of losing than the Washington Generals had of winning I guess.

While White America has learned to fear “real” Blacks, “real” Blacks have learned to relish ghetto culture. Remember how Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry became more popular than ever after being caught using crack cocaine. “The bitch set me up!” almost became his new campaign slogan. Marion Barry kept it real. Sure, he led a city where lots of other, less fortunate Blacks were serving long prison sentences for using that same crack cocaine, but he showed them he could make the same stupid choices they could. He just wasn’t punished for it. As they say in the “hood,” it ain’t nothing but a thing. Just as they have conditioned White people to expect less from Blacks, they have conditioned Blacks to celebrate pathological behavior. Stick it to the man! From your prison cell.

Violence is so bad at one Massachusetts high school (which you can be certain is predominantly Black) that school officials are calling for the national guard. You know you have built quite the “culture” when not even armed police in schools are enough to handle it. And it was all enabled by White leaders, and a complacent White public. Denying reality with laughable White skinhead criminals in films and on television doesn’t solve the problem. Batman and Spiderman need to finally encounter a few Bloods and Crips in those dark Gotham alleys, and beat them up. Psychologically that might help. Black “thugs,” if I may be so indelicate, have developed a sense of invulnerability because of this preposterous media pandering.

Maybe I’m too much a stickler about language. One of the few positive things I learned from my alcoholic father was a respect for proper English. He really, really hated the word “ain’t,” for instance. I won’t even use it in jest. It’s unfair to place all of the dumbing down on ebonics and ghetto culture. We were already getting dumber without any of that. The unfortunate tendency now for many Whites to write “would of” instead of “would have,” for example. And now Whites mimic ghetto culture, sometimes speaking ebonics, flashing the idiotic gangsta hand signs. “Ima” has now effectively replaced “I’m going to” for young Whites. If you can’t beat them, join them. All those White ‘80s kids that listened to early rap music, with its celebration of things foreign to them, are now middle-aged. Some are in positions of power.

Harvard- seemingly the crown jewel of our university system- now has Hip-Hop Fellows and courses in rap music. Ivy League students studying the most primitive form of pop music ever devised. Does Harvard feature classes in the lyrics of Cole Porter? The whole “African-American Studies” programs, which are only slightly more absurd than the “Gender Studies” programs designed to instill misandry, produce the kinds of conceited, mistaken at the top of their lungs decision makers that are dominating our increasingly remedial public discourse. In the 1980s, the deadly message was he who dies with the most toys wins. In the 2020s, the reality has become he/she/it who yells the loudest wins. As long as they’re not White.

America is a unique country. Still somewhat of an empire, with our propensity for occupying smaller nations, and our troops nonsensically stationed in over 150 countries around the world. But a Banana Republic at home, with potholes littering the streets that congressmen and the One Percent travel on. Ghetto culture just makes it all that more unattractive. At least to me. I never learned to love Whoopi Goldberg. I don’t find cornrows attractive. I don’t think Blacks are natural athletes or entertainers. I actually think we’re all equal. Or at least should be treated equal. In a land that worships St. George Floyd (as Jason Whitlock calls him), and allows a Fani Willis to rise to power, I know that’s a novel concept.

Putin was Correct: NYT Confirms CIA Built "12 Secret Spy Bases" In Ukraine & Waged Shadow War For Last Decade

From ZeroHedge:

On Sunday The New York Times published an explosive and very belated full admission that US intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the CIA program to modernize Ukraine's intelligence services has "transformed" the former Soviet state and its capabilities into "Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today."

This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the 2014 Maidan coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders' communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory. 

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime "closely guarded secret" the world just got a big step closer to WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure. 

"Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it's trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them," according to Ivan Bakanov, former head of the SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream 'official' narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, Kiev and Washington now want the world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to Moscow at a moment Ukraine's forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what President Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

While the lengthy NYT report is full of fresh revelations and confirmation of just how deeply the CIA has always been involved in Ukraine, below are seven of the biggest contained in the story...

Description of secret spy bunker

The report contains a surprisingly detailed description of one of the 'secret' underground command centers established by the CIA near the Russian border... location undisclosed of course:

Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov.

The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military.

There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the CIA.

Elite commando force

Within two years after the 2014 West-backed coup in Ukraine, the CIA had set up a training program for elite Ukrainian operatives:

Around 2016, the CIA began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that CIA technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. (One officer in the unit was Kyrylo Budanov, now the general leading Ukraine’s military intelligence.)

And the CIA also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence.

Ukraine transformed into an "intelligence-gathering hub"

The US intelligence network in Ukraine (which is tantamount to NATO intelligence network too) has in reality been more extensive than pretty much all prior media speculation has envisioned. Ukraine has long been a massive "intelligence gathering hub" for Washington and its partners:

In more than 200 interviews, current and former officials in Ukraine, the United States and Europe described a partnership that nearly foundered from mutual distrust before it steadily expanded, turning Ukraine into an intelligence-gathering hub that intercepted more Russian communications than the CIA station in Kyiv, Ukraine, could initially handle. Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence and matters of sensitive diplomacy.

Now these intelligence networks are more important than ever, as Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is more dependent on sabotage and long-range missile strikes that require spies far behind enemy lines. And they are increasingly at risk: If Republicans in Congress end military funding to Kyiv, the CIA may have to scale back.

Huge NYT admission that Putin was basically right

Below is a hugely ironic excerpt from the Times report. The section begins by noting that Putin has repeatedly blamed the US-NATO for expanding its military and intelligence infrastructure into Ukraine. Not only had this precisely been going on for the past decade, as is now being admitted, but was presented by the Kremlin as a key cause of the Russian invasion of Feb.24, 2022. Putin and his officials were adamant on the eve of the invasion that NATO was militarizing Ukraine. The Times appears to now fully admit that, yes - this was actually the case: 

Putin has long blamed Western intelligence agencies for manipulating Kyiv and sowing anti-Russia sentiment in Ukraine.

Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the CIA, together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow.

...U.S. officials were often reluctant to fully engage, fearing that Ukrainian officials could not be trusted, and worrying about provoking the Kremlin.Yet a tight circle of Ukrainian intelligence officials assiduously courted the CIA and gradually made themselves vital to the Americans. In 2015, Gen. Valeriy Kondratiuk, then Ukraine’s head of military intelligence, arrived at a meeting with the CIA’s deputy station chief and without warning handed over a stack of top-secret files.

2014 Coup... and Crimea

The report indirectly references this very critical period which set Ukraine and Russian on their tragic collision course: 

With violence escalating, an unmarked U.S. government plane touched down at an airport in Kyiv carrying John Brennan, then the director of the CIA. He told Nalyvaichenko that the CIA was interested in developing a relationship but only at a pace the agency was comfortable with, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.

To the CIA, the unknown question was how long Nalyvaichenko and the pro-Western government would be around. The CIA had been burned before in Ukraine.

...The result was a delicate balancing act. The CIA was supposed to strengthen Ukraine’s intelligence agencies without provoking the Russians. The red lines were never precisely clear, which created a persistent tension in the partnership.

Operation Goldfish

Money and advanced tech given by the CIA has allowed the Ukrainians to establish eavesdropping operations far beyond what they would otherwise be capable of. All the while, elite commando teams were being trained by the CIA in European cities as part of a program called 'Operation Goldfish'. The NYT reporting includes a bit of a 'boast' of the Ukrainians now being able to hack into Russian military networks: 

In the bunker, Dvoretskiy pointed to communications equipment and large computer servers, some of which were financed by the CIA. He said his teams were using the base to hack into the Russian military’s secure communications networks.

“This is the thing that breaks into satellites and decodes secret conversations,” Dvoretskiy told a Times journalist on a tour, adding that they were hacking into spy satellites from China and Belarus, too.

...The CIA began sending equipment in 2016, after the pivotal meeting at Scattergood, Dvoretskiy said, providing encrypted radios and devices for intercepting secret enemy communications.

A stunning admission: "Tiptoeing Around Trump"

Among the most interesting and curious moments of the NYT report is a description of the CIA program's expanse under the Trump administration. The report suggests that the true scope may have even been hidden from Trump. The Russian hawks in his administration quietly did the 'dirty work', we are told: 

The election of Trump in November 2016 put the Ukrainians and their CIA partners on edge.

Trump praised Putin and dismissed Russia’s role in election interference. He was suspicious of Ukraine and later tried to pressure its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to investigate his Democratic rival, Biden, resulting in Trump’s first impeachment.

The report then emphasizes, "But whatever Trump said and did, his administration often went in the other direction. This is because Trump had put Russia hawks in key positions, including Mike Pompeo as CIA director and John Bolton as national security adviser. And further, "They visited Kyiv to underline their full support for the secret partnership, which expanded to include more specialized training programs and the building of additional secret bases." Given the attempt to place Trump in a negative light (he had to be 'tiptoed around'...), it will be interesting to see how he and his campaign respond to

the report. But more consequential will be the reaction of Putin and the Kremlin in the coming days.
