Nah, the fix is in. Nothing as messy as kinetic action. While rigging real national elections are difficult as GC pointed out, primaries are a different story. Kennedy may win some initial primaries but establishment will put a stop to it. Gruesome is waiting in the wings too. Trump just won't be on the ballot in enough states to matter.
Without any push back whatsoever, why would they slow down?
I am tired of the threat of “civil war” and what the DOJ might do to any of us so bold. Fuck ‘em. I no longer am content to inhabit this sewer. Either we clean it up, or they can shoot me dead. I no longer care which. But I refuse to comply with another fucking thing that comes out the stinking DC imperial city.
Same. They picked a tough one this past week, the guy in the wheelchair. They will eventually come for us, but we are ready, waiting, and not in wheelchairs. And I totally agree with you. I'm old, I don't give a mad fuck, get off my lawn.
“The last elected President”……rrriiiggghhht (pinky finger to corner of mouth).
Absolute nonsense. Trump courted evangelicals and led them like a pied Piper. His “presidency” was predictively programmed, as many people have noted.
We have at least 3 options being constructed - naked, but updated communism from the left, it’s pendulum swing of fascism to the right, and the alien narrative. The alien thing has been in construction from HG Wells, perhaps a bit before, and they have a lot invested in it, so I think they intend on using it. And I think they would have already - probably in 2021 - had not The Flat Earth thrown a gigantic wrench in the plan. I don’t think they saw that coming, if their response to it is any indication.
They then had to regroup and figure how to deal with it, always having at least a couple of options, the first of which was marginalization - which poured gasoline on that fire - but they also co-opted it, very subtlety, attempting to steer it away from the only actual document that solidly tells it - The Bible.
And lo and behold, one of the preeminent Flat Earthers who is at the tip of that spear - well, he also is one from the fake tribe. Imagine that. We might begin to think there is a great conspiracy going on.
I can't get a third scenario out of my mind. What if they let Trump win in 2024? What if a *literal criminal* and *known racist* assumes power again after the peaceful and enlightened presidency of Biden? Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue? That would be a pretty effective way to complete the destruction of the social order.
Interesting scenario FRI. Thought that might be the agenda for 2016 to set up everything we've seen so far, but I don't know if I can wrap my head around that with 2030 fast approaching. Just thinking out loud now...Trump would reverse all of Biden's executive orders - namely energy and economic destruction. The entire UN climate scam gets pushed back again. And what if Trump appoints one of his own lawyers to head up the DOJ and goes for revenge against all the Obama/Hillary goons? They'd have to orchestrate a military coup under the pretense of saving the country and then all of the prepared illusions and delusions of a "nation" would evaporate overnight. They already have the total police state they need with the pretense of all the old institutions and ideals still in place. Though I'm open to that possibility as well. Who knows what these psychos are capable of, and what if Trump is playing along with them? What if the plea deal has already been arranged (Trump won't do time) and all he has to do is act and golf for 18 months? After all he signed off on the DoD's operation warp iatrogenocide and was still celebrating it two years later. Doesn't seem like a noble character who cares much about the health and well being of the American people.
Trump as a symbol is great--a well-deserved middle finger thrust into the faces of the Oligarchy. Trump, the man, is just a narcissistic oaf. Why people put so much faith in a man whose first and only thought is himself, is beyond me.
His time to act was after the fortified election. People rallied against the fraud, and Trump...went golfing. Then he led his supporters into the J6 trap. As far as I know, he has not lifted a finger to support them. Craven and loathesome behavior in the election's aftermath is what he should be remembered for. That and the poison shot that has killed and maimed tens of thousands...for now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who could see what was plain to see.
And backing up to the obviously orchestrated “stolen election”, where allegedly his VP could have not certified it - and “turned against him”. You then see Pence after all that, show up at the Liberty University Convocation - aka MAGA central - and Trump’s idiocracy supporters are silent.
They got all these sheep, both left and right, frantically running around the pasture, smashing their heads into the gates, stumbling back bewildered, with not a clue as to which way is up.
It’s amazing to see, but also very disheartening. Of course that is how you get them ready for the slaughter - complete disillusionment and demoralization. The sheep will do anything to make it stop, and they will be given that solution.
Problem, reaction, solution. Order out of chaos. And that is the hook - making Plato’s just society - imagining themselves to be God.
And when all trust is lost, daiva ... what will you do? Sometimes when your back is to the wall, you can look behind you and see the writing on that wall ...
The Great Experiment has run its course and is ready for the fork. Henceforth all "elections" (classic distractions) are to be ignored with all due vigor as they now run diametrically counter to any quivering bit of residual freedom.
Instead of trying to determine Their next move, why not focus all energy on Our next move ... away from this roaring dumpster fire called the US government.
Just imagine ... Once the states start to leave and take their billions with them, the increasingly defunded monster can wither and crumble into a festering pile of putrid iniquity ... or something like that ;-) It will not be easy but the cost of staying is much higher than the cost of leaving.
Great thanks to GC for yet another Spot On Analysis! ~~ j ~~
I think he was allowed to be in office in 2016 for the sole purpose of Warp Speed. It fits his personality too perfectly. Could Hillary -- the scheming, cautious, experienced politician -- really have pulled that off? No, only an arrogant oaf with no respect for The Way Things Are Done could swing it. He needed to be in place to persuade the Ben Shapiro type people to follow covid protocols.
Correct. And also to neutralize the Right so they wouldn’t effectively resist the scamdemic lockdowns. The Right would have reacted very differently when the scamdemic lockdowns began in March 2020 if Hillary had been president at the time. I think there is a good chance they intend to select him again in 2024 to ensure the Right complies just as readily with the inevitable climate lockdowns coming up as they did with the scamdemic lockdowns.
"And what if Trump appoints one of his own lawyers to head up the DOJ"
There is NO WAY we can ever get an honest, pro-American people person in as AG, or in charge of DoD, HHS, CDC, FDA, NIH, CIA, FBI, etc. because all of those Presidential nominations have to be approved by the corrupt Senate. Although we are told that the President gets to nominate his cabinet, that's now really how it works.. All of the power is with the Senate. During Trump's term, I spent a lot of time reading over at conservativetreehouse and listening to Robert Barnes. Barnes and "Sundance" at Conservativetreehouse explained that it was Mitch McConnell who had all of the power. So, if Trump nominated someone like Catherine Austin Fitts for Sec of Treasury, then McConnell would simply say, nope, no way I can get her approved through the Senate, but here is a list of deep state swamp rats who I can get approved. This is why Trump was always surrounded by snakes in his administration (except for Ben Carson)--it's because those are the only people McConnell would allow to be approved. McConnell had much more power than people realized. Barnes even said this extended to the Justices that Trump put in the Supreme Court--Barnes said their loyalty was to McConnell because they knew he was the person responsible for getting them approved.
IMO, the only way to take the US govt back would be to get a person in as President who is pro the American people and at the same time take back the Senate, so we can get honest people in charge of these corrupt agencies (FBI, DOJ, NIH, CIA, DHS, CDC, FDA, HHS, etc). But given the rigged elections, I don't see us ever taking back the Senate--they only let a few better-than-the rest guys in there, but not enough to ever make things change. There is NO WAY that the current Senate would ever approve anyone for HHS, NIH, CDC, FDA, who is NOT controlled by pharma. And there's no way they would ever approve of anyone for DoD, who is not controlled by the MIC.
Yet with most positions he didn’t even try to expose McConnell and the other frauds. Never even tried to drain the bath tub. Now he's paying the price for going along and playing his role. John Bolton was his chief of neocon thuggery for a time. Mike Pence was his VP 😆 not a good judge of people or maybe a different kind of puppet...the wrestling heel puppet.
McConnell is married to long-time CFR member Elaine Chao, Trump's secretary of Transportation. Bolton, like most of the PNAC neocons, was a CFR member. Kayfabe! or Covfefe! or something...
I would say Albert Pike's Third World War might fit in with this scenario, GC. It's wild to think there's been a general plan for well over a century but the hydra didn't just form overnight. Basically "Conservatives" will start a world war that will exhaust the West and leave "Conservatives" reviled. Now Pike said it would be religious in nature against Islam but I could see a Traditionalist narrative created out of Russia and China. Trump is forced to respond to some provocation or even drone strikes someone like Kashoggi again but this time, the Mullahs try to nuke Tel Aviv. Again this is all highly unlikely but plausible.
Note that "liberal" demagogues Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were in office during WW1 and WW2. The stepwise approach to consolidated world government continues, and the oligarchy will install whichever actor is needed for the next episode. To quote FDR, "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way".
I agree with most of what you've written. However, I don't think that Beck is for Trump. I also don't think that the Ultra-Maga crowd is very smart. They tend to be measured on emotions only, lacking logic at times and that's the main reason they love(d) Trump. He gets them riled, but I believe he's playing them like a fiddle (as you stated).
Why else would you (Trump) allow yourself to go to trial in NY? You live in FL with a governor who already said that he would not force your indictment and would protect you. You could've given your opposition the middle finger and played a couple of rounds of golf. You wouldn't have even needed to hire a lawyer! However, Trump flies there willingly because he knew he could grift the money from Ultra-maggars. And he did so beautifully. And the press pscyop continues. Up until that point, he was actually losing in donations to Nikki Hayley and Vivek of all people.
When he had the chance to make a true difference in the RINO party and back his OWN attorney Harmeet Dhillon he went full RINO and back McDaniel instead. Just like he backs Mitch "the Bitch" McDonnel and friends. He's keeping the swamp alive while being eaten by it at the same time and continuing to claim he's going to drain it. I don't get how most are not seeing this. However, he was just in PA and it looked like his rally was barely attended so maybe people are seeing him for the true narcissist that he is and that this is all about vindication and not about the country. He does deserve vindication no doubt.
Without question he is being screwed, but he is to blame for a lot of that. Had he actually ran the country in 2020 instead of letting go of the reins and handing the country over to the unelected evil demons of Fauci and Birx, I don't believe that we would be in this situation and the steal could not have happened.
I hope like crazy that people see past this nonsense in Iowa and NH to make a statement to both Trump and his allies in the R/DNC and vote for any candidate besides Trump. I personally think DeSantis would give us an opportunity to if not stop this catastrophe from continuing to, like Trump did for 3 years, at least slow it down a bit.
Forgot about the Rino McDaniel leadership endorsement. Well said:

Carlin was great. However, he used the wrong adjective there. Relative to the population, it is a very small club. Instead he should have said, " ... exclusive club..."
Ha! Maybe but not any higher than Trump thinking he's going to win the election. He will either be in jail (which is unjust) or he will sign an agreement to not be on the ballet, leaving all of us hung out to dry. He's about himself more than he's about this country and those that love him. However, it's not my job to try and convince you and I'm not worried about what you think of my "pick". I've seen what DeSantis has done in Florida and the how well that state is doing compared to the rest of the 49 states and I'll stick with that.
I do not idolize my politicians, I'm not impressed with words. Do the deeds I ask of you and then you'll have respect from me. Fight for morality and truth and don't cower or obfuscate your duties to somebody who I didn't vote for. Stand up and say you are wrong when you're wrong and admit that fault. Then once you've done that give us a new direction to go and if it's wise then I'll follow you.
Trump can't do that. He's still touting saving millions of lives with the clot shot for heaven's sake. He had a whole year to fire Fauci and didn't do it. Chickened out when we Americans needed him most. He's hired a CHINESE LOBBYIST on his current staff. WTF is that about?
Follow him blindly if you'd like but that ain't for me if I have a choice. And, right now I have a choice, so no matter how much you'd like to denigrate me choosing DeSantis it will not make me move to Trump. Thanks! BTW I voted for Trump twice.
DeSantis is controlled by corporate money and is the puppet of the oligarchy and GOPe.
He’s shown his true colors, and actually has done a shitty job in FL; he punted on forcing a fix to the out of control insurance costs that are putting people into the poorhouse unnecessarily. He called a special legislative session in December 2022, a month after the voters of FL gave him a ringing 15 point victory, and got absolutely nothing accomplished, except to give insurance companies a break on “frivolous lawsuits” and insurance fraud. Nothing for the people. Now the FL Dems are going to be running on that issue because people are seriously being fleeced and the Dems are promising to “fix” it. Don’t be surprised to see FL turn blue soon, if not in 2024, then in 2026 when shit head’s term as governor is up.
Then, he goes against his word and immediately runs for president, after promising to focus on being FL’s governor and helping to solve FL’s problems.
You have your head stuck way up your ass and have no fucking clue. Wake up.
In my opinion, there is only one way the people of this country can regain control over the unelected state. It's in the declaration of 1776---withdraw all consent to be governed by this mob. When the next election rolls around just don't vote in any national (or state wide if necessary) election. Don't bother with 3rd parties or whatever--just don't vote. Imagine the panic in DC if no registered republican or independent gave their consent---the deep state loses all legitimacy, and the people can go about the business of re-arranging the country . If you vote, you are just endorsing the con job, so just don't vote.
A nice idea, but not one based in reality. Every human on Earth is a special interest group, and those special interests are so easily manipulated to keep hold of their special interests. Given that you are here on this substack, you likely have a tacit understanding of the mass mind control programs that have been developed, tested, refined, and weaponized.
“The goal is clear—keep Trump off the ballot and CIA election meddling can stay in the realm where it’s easier to control—perception management and manipulation of the electorate through propaganda in the media. Smear campaigns, psyops, and information wars are more effortless to wage and have been the preferred tools for election meddling for decades. It preserves the illusion of democracy, so the globalist agenda for national destruction and demoralization can continue.”
Trump will never accept a plea deal. He'll let them keep "indicting" him.
He made a lot of very stupid mistakes, such as appointing and surrounding himself with the wrong people and not knowing when to keep his mouth shut. But the most stupid mistake he ever made was holding that damn rally in DC on Jan 6, instead of holding it in FL or TX, as far away from DC as possible.
He drew all those people to DC, and anyone with 3 brain cells could see it was a trap. It was obvious that it would be infiltrated with federally-paid agents provocateur, who would cause trouble and bait the actual Trump supporters - many of whom, quite honestly, aren't the brightest bulbs in the chandelier - to follow them into the Capitol building and cause the stoppage of the electoral college certification proceeding. This could then be blamed on Trump and his supporters.
The "insurance policy" if they couldn't get the necessary riots going to stop the certification proceeding were the pipe bombs the FBI planted in front of RNC and DNC HQs.
Probably, yes. The whodunnit pipe bombs. Almost forgot about those. The culprits have been eating lunch daily for two years at the J. Edgar Hoover cafeteria.
The 3 letter agencies are the police arm of the global banking cartel. The FBI is crooked inside the states and the CIA is starting conflicts around the world. The bankers love wars. They bankroll both sides and win win.
“Trump supporters - many of whom, quite honestly, aren’t the brightest bulbs in the chandelier”
You are being too kind. Most people who still supported Trump as late as January 6, 2021 are dumber than dirt. It was painfully obvious as early as mid-2018 that Trump had no intention of keeping any of his campaign promises, and was just another swamp creature himself. Anyone who still supports him or thinks that he will accomplish anything good if he is (s)elected again in 2024 is a special kind of stupid. Of course the idiots on the Left, most of whom have TDS, are just as stupid. They hate Trump for reasons that are just as fictional as the reasons that the Trumptards worship him. But the fact that I despise both the Trump worshipers and the Trump haters is what I think allows me to objectively evaluate what is happening because I don’t have the emotional biases that most people have.
What bothers me is seeing him falsely charged with made-up crimes, while the Democrats/Left commit real, provable crimes and get away with it. I would be bothered by anyone being falsely charged, Trump or anyone else. And they level the false indictments to distract from Biden’s real crimes.
Trump’s indictments are just theater, largely to keep the sheeple distracted, but also to ensure that he is the Republican candidate in 2024. His poll numbers and donations increase every time he is indicted or raided. I’m not sure why they want to make sure he is the Republican candidate. It could just be to maximize the distraction, because Trump is extremely polarizing. DeSantis is more like a typical Republican candidate, despised by the Left because he has an “R” after his name, but he doesn’t induce the total insanity displayed by those with TDS. But it also could be that they intend to select him as president again, as they did in 2016. With the inevitable climate lockdowns coming, they could want Trump back to ensure the Right complies just as readily as they did during the scamdemic lockdowns.
Well, you could be right. We will eventually find out. If he is on the ballot, which I think is a near-certainty, and if he wins the presidential (s)election again, which I think is highly likely, then we will know I was right.
They’ll never allow him onto the ballot. If the indictments, the RNC changing to proportional delegate awards in state GOP primaries, cheating in the primaries with “ballots” doesn’t work, a bullet will be next on their to do list.
A better option would have been to invoke the Insurrection Act, muster the militia, and make J6 an open-carry event. Given Team Chaos's M.O. of accusing the other side of that which they're doing, the Washington Generals would do well to go ahead and do the things they will sure to be accused of anyway.
It’s all theater folks. Remember the civil war was between the Confederacy of the North supported by a Protestant King and the confederacy of the South supported by the Pope. Ever think about that? What exactly were the Confederate States? These were incorporated businesses folks. We know that because they were bankrupted and only corporations qualify for bankruptcy protection. So fast forward to today: Just like they mounted a war between themselves back then, to take back the salves they created through the slave trade, they are doing the same today. You have employees of a British Municipal corporation (Military/DOJ) versus employees of a Papal Municipal corporation out of the District of Columbia engaged in a phony war among themselves where you are the real target people. The goal is to confuse you, manipulate your decisions, and make you think someone is fighting for your rights so they can get you back as a customer and continue their racket. The federal government is not your government. Their officers do not work for you. They are employees of foreign corporations stationed in the District of Columbia created by the Residency Act of 1790 so that these foreign employees can fulfill the service contracts that resulted from the peace negotiations after the War of Independence. Please understand this little fact or you will be doomed to repeat the same mistake and remain trapped in their holy war which has nothing to do with you. They are all putting up an act.
Or put another way, you have The Beast and you have The Harlot that Rides the Beast. But today they are one, for the beast has killed the harlot and possessed her corpse.
If it's any consolation the corruption has been ongoing for a century, it's just now so brazen and out in the open for the world to see, which will accelerate the collapse of a destructive empire, and that's not a bad thing. We can find humor in anything if we try.
Thanks for your response. This thread is blowing my mind with cognitive dissonance. Sadly I am a kinda doomsday prepper these days, just working on being self-sufficient with no debt, a minimal self-emplloyed income stream, an vegie patch and chickens, solar panels and e-bike for transport. I want to care for other people, not just my own but I gotta prioritise the survival of my own
Outstanding post, thank you. In a few days, I might have a complementary one. In truth, and as I am sure you know well, the USA has developed a fairly comprehensive toolkit for ensuring that elections held overseas produce the right results. The blowback from one such rigging is what put Putin in power.
Prior to the 1996 Russian election, the USA knew that the Yeltsin government was deeply corrupt. The scholar ME Sarotte summarizes as follows:
`` A small tier of oligarchs had enriched themselves impressively while the average Russian was struggling with unemployment, poverty, and pensions of vanishing value. In the course of 1995, it became clear to Talbott [USA Deputy Secretary of State] that Yeltsin had engaged in a series of Faustian bargains with those oligarchs. In exchange for siphoning their wealth into the Russian president’s “campaign war chest,” [Talbott wrote in a 1995 memo] the Kremlin “paid the oligarchs back with vast opportunities for insider trading,” including the infamous loans-for-shares deal, which was essentially a corrupt auction of state assets. ``
But the oligarch money was NOT enough. Yeltsin was in trouble heading into the election, so Bill Clinton put the screws on the IMF. The result? A "$10 billion loan program" over three years . The World Bank and the USA's largest missile base and aircraft carrier, Japan, also chipped in -- bringing the total to roughly $22.6 billion. But as Sarotte notes:
"Whatever the exact amount, it did little good. Since the IMF funding was not accompanied by sufficiently credible fiscal measures, the funds quickly floated out of Russia."
Yeltsin did, however, freely distribute the money to promote his chances in the 1996 and to cling to power for a short while afterwards. But to ensure Yeltsin's re-election in 1996, these campaign donations were not enough. Wait for it, please.
Russia was at this at war with the break-away province/region of Chechnya. This led to a displaced persons / refugee crisis. International observers estimated that fewer that 500K (1/2 million) adults remained in Chechnya. Well, come election time, over 1 million Chechens voted!
And who do you think 70% of these over 1 million Chechens voted for? You guessed right : the Russian president who was waging war against them, Yeltsin! As Sarotte again notes:
`` a member of the OSCE election-observation team claimed that he was pressured not to reveal the “widespread voter fraud” he had witnessed. A US diplomat serving in the Moscow embassy at the time of the election, Thomas Graham, asserted that the Clinton administration knew the election was not truly fair, but it was a case of “‘the ends justifying the means.’" ``
Widespread voter fraud to keep the right corrupt kleptocrat in power, but "the end justifies the means." Sound familiar?
Let's fast forward. Russia became so vastly dysfunction under the international gang-rape of its assets (including IP) --a gang-rape endorsed by Yeltsin -- that Yeltsin finally had to go. But to ensure his safety, Yeltsin appointed Putin as his successor -- to finish out Yeltsin's term, to grant Yeltsin immunity, to and clean up some of the mess. Putin did win re-election, btw. How free or fair that election was is up for debate. What is NOT up for debate: that the election which keep Yeltsin in power was neither free nor fair.
Putin is very much the monster the USA created by rigging the Russian election, and by organizing the international rape of Russian assets (including IP) by key American and EU based globalized corporations. Putin does not trust the West. Why do we wonder at this?
Finally, who is this ME Sarotte? person I have quoted? Some QAnon crazy? No. Mary Elise Sarotte i is the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Distinguished Professor of Historical Studies at John Hopkins University. The primary source I cite from Sarotte -- Not One Inch More: America, Russia, and the Making of a Post-Coldwar Stalemate -- was published by Yale University Press in 2021.
We are just two years later, and one wonders if the same book could be published. Instead, all her scholarship -- and that of Stephen Cohen, JJ Mearsheimer, and more -- has already gone down the memory hole. Thanks again for this post.
Fascinating history thanks DH. They really are burying the work of Russian scholars to rewrite history. It's embarrassing what's taken place by the west re: Russia the past few years. I do hope future historians do not treat them kindly. Look forward to your piece.
Footnote: Mary Sarotte is a member of the liberal-fascist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), along with Rhodes Scholars Bill Clinton, Strobe Talbott, and long-time CFR president Richard Haass. These three are/were also members of the Trilateral Commission.
True. MS Sarotte is unquestionably part of the establishment. She also wrote an outstanding and detailed analysis which helps explain the USA and Nato enlargement helped bring about the current crisis. As a general rule, I prefer establishment sources when it comes to USA government activities. Our experts and elites do a very good of documenting their own crimes. We in turn do a very good of not paying attention.
Likewise, Strobe Talbott, for all his considerable faults, was good enough to put some damning things on paper -- on official memos -- about the USA efforts in Russia during the Yeltsin era. I'm not going side with Strobe Talbott on nearly any issue, but I will use the documents he produced as sources. Etc.
On a similar note, I have some posts on the BioLabs in Ukraine. Yes, the Biolabs are real. Yes, also confirmed by multiple Pentagon statements -- all of which require careful parsing. Read them thoroughly enough, do some background research, and the results are mind-boggling. Just damning. So I don't ignore the DOD, either.
If MS Sarotte will document for us -- will admit -- how corrupt things were and how the election was rigged, how bad and how much deeper does it go? That's a question worth asking and answering, but IMO we start with what can be reasonably proven -- which is horrific enough. Then go down the rabbit hole from there.

Yes, good read. I agree with all except I didn't think Glenn Beck or Dan Bongino were complete sellouts, but I don't waste much time watching corporate mouthpieces.
I'm 80 years old and sort of enjoy watching the downfall, facilitated largely by a decadent and ignorant population, still all in for public schools, social security, warfare and welfare.

I think rabbi trump wants to get in to save satanyahoo and israel cause in 4 years he NEVER once mentioned the white working class who put him in the white house. he kissed black and jew ass and I am glad jew feds and black DA's in the states are going after him. pardoning rappers and releasing 1000's of blacks out of jail got him nowhere. he did not keep his main promises and hired the worst of the worst deep staters. the fake right wing show hosts will never name the jew cause all they care about is money and fame
I am sick of hearing oh they are not real jews. they follow the talmud and the OT like deuteronomy a manual on how to slaughter rape loot murder and enslave gentiles. exactly what the "fake" jews are doing in israel. ISIS israels private army used OT methods to crucify burn drown behead torture and rape 100's of thousand of syrians
"Behold, I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan". Humanist/materialists like Yuval "Homo Deus" Harari of the WEF also qualify for membership.
You are ignorant of The Bible and it’s context. The nation’s in and around ancient Palestine you have to look at through the lens of Gen 6:4. As to the Talmudic Jews, they are not the Torah Jews, and even the Torah Jews cannot be themselves without Temple, Ark of the Covenant, Sacraficial system, etc.
You atheists are the most convoluted of all - thinking we come from nothing, have no meaning, and then whine about all that is going on.
take the buybull and shove it. the OT is a bunch of fairy tales. there was no exodus solomon and king david never existed. the wailing wall was a fort for the Roman Tenth Legion the army under Titus that destroyed jewrusalem and the temple. the jews god in the OT was the devil. Jesus told the jews their father was the devil
Ah, here we go with context again. At least you admit to the existence of Jesus. Whoops! The Jews by that time were as America is today, infested with the devils seed - See Gen 6:4 for context. You might be right about the so-called wailing wall, a Disney prop to dupe Jews and Christians. So what.
More textual evidence to the Bible than any other text out there. One could make a better argument that Plato is a fiction, such little evidence is there to support him. His “works” could be Masonic works from a much later (more present) time.
you say so what about the wailing wall . meanwhile nobody running for office in the west will get anywhere unless they pay homage to a fictious wall. while the jews hump the wall to have sex with some satanic goddess. jews best story tellers and that is why they ended up in hollywood. I notice you did not say nothing about the made up exodus soloman and david. shlomo sand a jew exposed the fairy tales the jews made up
DJT is the first digitally and legally assassinated president. The 3 letter agencies did JFK the old fashioned way.
Sadly true
And they'll wind up doing Trump and RFK, Jr. the old-fashioned way, too, if they don't back off and withdraw from the election.
Nah, the fix is in. Nothing as messy as kinetic action. While rigging real national elections are difficult as GC pointed out, primaries are a different story. Kennedy may win some initial primaries but establishment will put a stop to it. Gruesome is waiting in the wings too. Trump just won't be on the ballot in enough states to matter.
Our governments "can do no wrong" attitude will be their downfall later.
💬 We have a big, beautiful country and a small, ugly swamp.
How come the deranged small doesn't seem to slow down in piling up a win after menacing win? 😢
Without any push back whatsoever, why would they slow down?
I am tired of the threat of “civil war” and what the DOJ might do to any of us so bold. Fuck ‘em. I no longer am content to inhabit this sewer. Either we clean it up, or they can shoot me dead. I no longer care which. But I refuse to comply with another fucking thing that comes out the stinking DC imperial city.
Same. They picked a tough one this past week, the guy in the wheelchair. They will eventually come for us, but we are ready, waiting, and not in wheelchairs. And I totally agree with you. I'm old, I don't give a mad fuck, get off my lawn.
Because they are empowered to do so from behind the veil.

If it were just that simple. But it is not.
“The last elected President”……rrriiiggghhht (pinky finger to corner of mouth).
Absolute nonsense. Trump courted evangelicals and led them like a pied Piper. His “presidency” was predictively programmed, as many people have noted.
We have at least 3 options being constructed - naked, but updated communism from the left, it’s pendulum swing of fascism to the right, and the alien narrative. The alien thing has been in construction from HG Wells, perhaps a bit before, and they have a lot invested in it, so I think they intend on using it. And I think they would have already - probably in 2021 - had not The Flat Earth thrown a gigantic wrench in the plan. I don’t think they saw that coming, if their response to it is any indication.
They then had to regroup and figure how to deal with it, always having at least a couple of options, the first of which was marginalization - which poured gasoline on that fire - but they also co-opted it, very subtlety, attempting to steer it away from the only actual document that solidly tells it - The Bible.
And lo and behold, one of the preeminent Flat Earthers who is at the tip of that spear - well, he also is one from the fake tribe. Imagine that. We might begin to think there is a great conspiracy going on.
But was Kennedy actually killed? I think you have to seriously consider that that too was a big theater production.
When was Trump legally assassinated?
I can't get a third scenario out of my mind. What if they let Trump win in 2024? What if a *literal criminal* and *known racist* assumes power again after the peaceful and enlightened presidency of Biden? Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue? That would be a pretty effective way to complete the destruction of the social order.
Interesting scenario FRI. Thought that might be the agenda for 2016 to set up everything we've seen so far, but I don't know if I can wrap my head around that with 2030 fast approaching. Just thinking out loud now...Trump would reverse all of Biden's executive orders - namely energy and economic destruction. The entire UN climate scam gets pushed back again. And what if Trump appoints one of his own lawyers to head up the DOJ and goes for revenge against all the Obama/Hillary goons? They'd have to orchestrate a military coup under the pretense of saving the country and then all of the prepared illusions and delusions of a "nation" would evaporate overnight. They already have the total police state they need with the pretense of all the old institutions and ideals still in place. Though I'm open to that possibility as well. Who knows what these psychos are capable of, and what if Trump is playing along with them? What if the plea deal has already been arranged (Trump won't do time) and all he has to do is act and golf for 18 months? After all he signed off on the DoD's operation warp iatrogenocide and was still celebrating it two years later. Doesn't seem like a noble character who cares much about the health and well being of the American people.
Trump as a symbol is great--a well-deserved middle finger thrust into the faces of the Oligarchy. Trump, the man, is just a narcissistic oaf. Why people put so much faith in a man whose first and only thought is himself, is beyond me.
His time to act was after the fortified election. People rallied against the fraud, and Trump...went golfing. Then he led his supporters into the J6 trap. As far as I know, he has not lifted a finger to support them. Craven and loathesome behavior in the election's aftermath is what he should be remembered for. That and the poison shot that has killed and maimed tens of thousands...for now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who could see what was plain to see.
And backing up to the obviously orchestrated “stolen election”, where allegedly his VP could have not certified it - and “turned against him”. You then see Pence after all that, show up at the Liberty University Convocation - aka MAGA central - and Trump’s idiocracy supporters are silent.
They got all these sheep, both left and right, frantically running around the pasture, smashing their heads into the gates, stumbling back bewildered, with not a clue as to which way is up.
It’s amazing to see, but also very disheartening. Of course that is how you get them ready for the slaughter - complete disillusionment and demoralization. The sheep will do anything to make it stop, and they will be given that solution.
Problem, reaction, solution. Order out of chaos. And that is the hook - making Plato’s just society - imagining themselves to be God.

Instead of trying to determine Their next move, why not focus all energy on Our next move ... away from this roaring dumpster fire called the US government.
Just imagine ... Once the states start to leave and take their billions with them, the increasingly defunded monster can wither and crumble into a festering pile of putrid iniquity ... or something like that ;-) It will not be easy but the cost of staying is much higher than the cost of leaving.
Great thanks to GC for yet another Spot On Analysis! ~~ j ~~

I think he was allowed to be in office in 2016 for the sole purpose of Warp Speed. It fits his personality too perfectly. Could Hillary -- the scheming, cautious, experienced politician -- really have pulled that off? No, only an arrogant oaf with no respect for The Way Things Are Done could swing it. He needed to be in place to persuade the Ben Shapiro type people to follow covid protocols.
Correct. And also to neutralize the Right so they wouldn’t effectively resist the scamdemic lockdowns. The Right would have reacted very differently when the scamdemic lockdowns began in March 2020 if Hillary had been president at the time. I think there is a good chance they intend to select him again in 2024 to ensure the Right complies just as readily with the inevitable climate lockdowns coming up as they did with the scamdemic lockdowns.
"And what if Trump appoints one of his own lawyers to head up the DOJ"
There is NO WAY we can ever get an honest, pro-American people person in as AG, or in charge of DoD, HHS, CDC, FDA, NIH, CIA, FBI, etc. because all of those Presidential nominations have to be approved by the corrupt Senate. Although we are told that the President gets to nominate his cabinet, that's now really how it works.. All of the power is with the Senate. During Trump's term, I spent a lot of time reading over at conservativetreehouse and listening to Robert Barnes. Barnes and "Sundance" at Conservativetreehouse explained that it was Mitch McConnell who had all of the power. So, if Trump nominated someone like Catherine Austin Fitts for Sec of Treasury, then McConnell would simply say, nope, no way I can get her approved through the Senate, but here is a list of deep state swamp rats who I can get approved. This is why Trump was always surrounded by snakes in his administration (except for Ben Carson)--it's because those are the only people McConnell would allow to be approved. McConnell had much more power than people realized. Barnes even said this extended to the Justices that Trump put in the Supreme Court--Barnes said their loyalty was to McConnell because they knew he was the person responsible for getting them approved.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_positions_filled_by_presidential_appointment_with_Senate_confirmation
IMO, the only way to take the US govt back would be to get a person in as President who is pro the American people and at the same time take back the Senate, so we can get honest people in charge of these corrupt agencies (FBI, DOJ, NIH, CIA, DHS, CDC, FDA, HHS, etc). But given the rigged elections, I don't see us ever taking back the Senate--they only let a few better-than-the rest guys in there, but not enough to ever make things change. There is NO WAY that the current Senate would ever approve anyone for HHS, NIH, CDC, FDA, who is NOT controlled by pharma. And there's no way they would ever approve of anyone for DoD, who is not controlled by the MIC.
Yet with most positions he didn’t even try to expose McConnell and the other frauds. Never even tried to drain the bath tub. Now he's paying the price for going along and playing his role. John Bolton was his chief of neocon thuggery for a time. Mike Pence was his VP 😆 not a good judge of people or maybe a different kind of puppet...the wrestling heel puppet.
McConnell is married to long-time CFR member Elaine Chao, Trump's secretary of Transportation. Bolton, like most of the PNAC neocons, was a CFR member. Kayfabe! or Covfefe! or something...
I would say Albert Pike's Third World War might fit in with this scenario, GC. It's wild to think there's been a general plan for well over a century but the hydra didn't just form overnight. Basically "Conservatives" will start a world war that will exhaust the West and leave "Conservatives" reviled. Now Pike said it would be religious in nature against Islam but I could see a Traditionalist narrative created out of Russia and China. Trump is forced to respond to some provocation or even drone strikes someone like Kashoggi again but this time, the Mullahs try to nuke Tel Aviv. Again this is all highly unlikely but plausible.
Note that "liberal" demagogues Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were in office during WW1 and WW2. The stepwise approach to consolidated world government continues, and the oligarchy will install whichever actor is needed for the next episode. To quote FDR, "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way".
That is why I am voting for him. Even if he was pretty ineffective during his first term, I would love to see what happens when he goes revenge mode.
I agree with most of what you've written. However, I don't think that Beck is for Trump. I also don't think that the Ultra-Maga crowd is very smart. They tend to be measured on emotions only, lacking logic at times and that's the main reason they love(d) Trump. He gets them riled, but I believe he's playing them like a fiddle (as you stated).
Why else would you (Trump) allow yourself to go to trial in NY? You live in FL with a governor who already said that he would not force your indictment and would protect you. You could've given your opposition the middle finger and played a couple of rounds of golf. You wouldn't have even needed to hire a lawyer! However, Trump flies there willingly because he knew he could grift the money from Ultra-maggars. And he did so beautifully. And the press pscyop continues. Up until that point, he was actually losing in donations to Nikki Hayley and Vivek of all people.
When he had the chance to make a true difference in the RINO party and back his OWN attorney Harmeet Dhillon he went full RINO and back McDaniel instead. Just like he backs Mitch "the Bitch" McDonnel and friends. He's keeping the swamp alive while being eaten by it at the same time and continuing to claim he's going to drain it. I don't get how most are not seeing this. However, he was just in PA and it looked like his rally was barely attended so maybe people are seeing him for the true narcissist that he is and that this is all about vindication and not about the country. He does deserve vindication no doubt.
Without question he is being screwed, but he is to blame for a lot of that. Had he actually ran the country in 2020 instead of letting go of the reins and handing the country over to the unelected evil demons of Fauci and Birx, I don't believe that we would be in this situation and the steal could not have happened.
I hope like crazy that people see past this nonsense in Iowa and NH to make a statement to both Trump and his allies in the R/DNC and vote for any candidate besides Trump. I personally think DeSantis would give us an opportunity to if not stop this catastrophe from continuing to, like Trump did for 3 years, at least slow it down a bit.
Forgot about the Rino McDaniel leadership endorsement. Well said:

Carlin was great. However, he used the wrong adjective there. Relative to the population, it is a very small club. Instead he should have said, " ... exclusive club..."
Excellent comment. Trump is who he always was...a self-aggrandizing grifter.
DeSantis? Are you high?
Ha! Maybe but not any higher than Trump thinking he's going to win the election. He will either be in jail (which is unjust) or he will sign an agreement to not be on the ballet, leaving all of us hung out to dry. He's about himself more than he's about this country and those that love him. However, it's not my job to try and convince you and I'm not worried about what you think of my "pick". I've seen what DeSantis has done in Florida and the how well that state is doing compared to the rest of the 49 states and I'll stick with that.
I do not idolize my politicians, I'm not impressed with words. Do the deeds I ask of you and then you'll have respect from me. Fight for morality and truth and don't cower or obfuscate your duties to somebody who I didn't vote for. Stand up and say you are wrong when you're wrong and admit that fault. Then once you've done that give us a new direction to go and if it's wise then I'll follow you.
Trump can't do that. He's still touting saving millions of lives with the clot shot for heaven's sake. He had a whole year to fire Fauci and didn't do it. Chickened out when we Americans needed him most. He's hired a CHINESE LOBBYIST on his current staff. WTF is that about?
Follow him blindly if you'd like but that ain't for me if I have a choice. And, right now I have a choice, so no matter how much you'd like to denigrate me choosing DeSantis it will not make me move to Trump. Thanks! BTW I voted for Trump twice.
DeSantis is controlled by corporate money and is the puppet of the oligarchy and GOPe.
He’s shown his true colors, and actually has done a shitty job in FL; he punted on forcing a fix to the out of control insurance costs that are putting people into the poorhouse unnecessarily. He called a special legislative session in December 2022, a month after the voters of FL gave him a ringing 15 point victory, and got absolutely nothing accomplished, except to give insurance companies a break on “frivolous lawsuits” and insurance fraud. Nothing for the people. Now the FL Dems are going to be running on that issue because people are seriously being fleeced and the Dems are promising to “fix” it. Don’t be surprised to see FL turn blue soon, if not in 2024, then in 2026 when shit head’s term as governor is up.
Then, he goes against his word and immediately runs for president, after promising to focus on being FL’s governor and helping to solve FL’s problems.
You have your head stuck way up your ass and have no fucking clue. Wake up.
Thanks for the input. All this proves is that nobody is perfect so either way we're fucked.
In my opinion, there is only one way the people of this country can regain control over the unelected state. It's in the declaration of 1776---withdraw all consent to be governed by this mob. When the next election rolls around just don't vote in any national (or state wide if necessary) election. Don't bother with 3rd parties or whatever--just don't vote. Imagine the panic in DC if no registered republican or independent gave their consent---the deep state loses all legitimacy, and the people can go about the business of re-arranging the country . If you vote, you are just endorsing the con job, so just don't vote.
Voting is violence.

The American people like their government—both the Democrats and Republicans. I told someone the other day that our "taxes don't pay for 💩."
They then said their state's healthcare program (Medicaid) was good.
So it is never going to happen. Both sides like their government.
A nice idea, but not one based in reality. Every human on Earth is a special interest group, and those special interests are so easily manipulated to keep hold of their special interests. Given that you are here on this substack, you likely have a tacit understanding of the mass mind control programs that have been developed, tested, refined, and weaponized.
“The goal is clear—keep Trump off the ballot and CIA election meddling can stay in the realm where it’s easier to control—perception management and manipulation of the electorate through propaganda in the media. Smear campaigns, psyops, and information wars are more effortless to wage and have been the preferred tools for election meddling for decades. It preserves the illusion of democracy, so the globalist agenda for national destruction and demoralization can continue.”
Nailed it.
Trump will never accept a plea deal. He'll let them keep "indicting" him.
He made a lot of very stupid mistakes, such as appointing and surrounding himself with the wrong people and not knowing when to keep his mouth shut. But the most stupid mistake he ever made was holding that damn rally in DC on Jan 6, instead of holding it in FL or TX, as far away from DC as possible.
He drew all those people to DC, and anyone with 3 brain cells could see it was a trap. It was obvious that it would be infiltrated with federally-paid agents provocateur, who would cause trouble and bait the actual Trump supporters - many of whom, quite honestly, aren't the brightest bulbs in the chandelier - to follow them into the Capitol building and cause the stoppage of the electoral college certification proceeding. This could then be blamed on Trump and his supporters.
The "insurance policy" if they couldn't get the necessary riots going to stop the certification proceeding were the pipe bombs the FBI planted in front of RNC and DNC HQs.
Probably, yes. The whodunnit pipe bombs. Almost forgot about those. The culprits have been eating lunch daily for two years at the J. Edgar Hoover cafeteria.
The 3 letter agencies are the police arm of the global banking cartel. The FBI is crooked inside the states and the CIA is starting conflicts around the world. The bankers love wars. They bankroll both sides and win win.
“Trump supporters - many of whom, quite honestly, aren’t the brightest bulbs in the chandelier”
You are being too kind. Most people who still supported Trump as late as January 6, 2021 are dumber than dirt. It was painfully obvious as early as mid-2018 that Trump had no intention of keeping any of his campaign promises, and was just another swamp creature himself. Anyone who still supports him or thinks that he will accomplish anything good if he is (s)elected again in 2024 is a special kind of stupid. Of course the idiots on the Left, most of whom have TDS, are just as stupid. They hate Trump for reasons that are just as fictional as the reasons that the Trumptards worship him. But the fact that I despise both the Trump worshipers and the Trump haters is what I think allows me to objectively evaluate what is happening because I don’t have the emotional biases that most people have.
TDS
On the left it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome
On the right it’s Trump Delusion Syndrome
What bothers me is seeing him falsely charged with made-up crimes, while the Democrats/Left commit real, provable crimes and get away with it. I would be bothered by anyone being falsely charged, Trump or anyone else. And they level the false indictments to distract from Biden’s real crimes.
Trump’s indictments are just theater, largely to keep the sheeple distracted, but also to ensure that he is the Republican candidate in 2024. His poll numbers and donations increase every time he is indicted or raided. I’m not sure why they want to make sure he is the Republican candidate. It could just be to maximize the distraction, because Trump is extremely polarizing. DeSantis is more like a typical Republican candidate, despised by the Left because he has an “R” after his name, but he doesn’t induce the total insanity displayed by those with TDS. But it also could be that they intend to select him as president again, as they did in 2016. With the inevitable climate lockdowns coming, they could want Trump back to ensure the Right complies just as readily as they did during the scamdemic lockdowns.
They’re not theater, they’re real indictments for made up “crimes.” And their purpose is to keep him off the ballot, not make him the nominee.
Well, you could be right. We will eventually find out. If he is on the ballot, which I think is a near-certainty, and if he wins the presidential (s)election again, which I think is highly likely, then we will know I was right.
They’ll never allow him onto the ballot. If the indictments, the RNC changing to proportional delegate awards in state GOP primaries, cheating in the primaries with “ballots” doesn’t work, a bullet will be next on their to do list.
My hero.
A better option would have been to invoke the Insurrection Act, muster the militia, and make J6 an open-carry event. Given Team Chaos's M.O. of accusing the other side of that which they're doing, the Washington Generals would do well to go ahead and do the things they will sure to be accused of anyway.

What exactly were the Confederate States? These were incorporated businesses folks. We know that because they were bankrupted and only corporations qualify for bankruptcy protection. So fast forward to today: Just like they mounted a war between themselves back then, to take back the salves they created through the slave trade, they are doing the same today. You have employees of a British Municipal corporation (Military/DOJ) versus employees of a Papal Municipal corporation out of the District of Columbia engaged in a phony war among themselves where you are the real target people. The goal is to confuse you, manipulate your decisions, and make you think someone is fighting for your rights so they can get you back as a customer and continue their racket. The federal government is not your government. Their officers do not work for you. They are employees of foreign corporations stationed in the District of Columbia created by the Residency Act of 1790 so that these foreign employees can fulfill the service contracts that resulted from the peace negotiations after the War of Independence. Please understand this little fact or you will be doomed to repeat the same mistake and remain trapped in their holy war which has nothing to do with you. They are all putting up an act.
Or put another way, you have The Beast and you have The Harlot that Rides the Beast. But today they are one, for the beast has killed the harlot and possessed her corpse.

Grow up, Ruth.
Outstanding post, thank you. In a few days, I might have a complementary one. In truth, and as I am sure you know well, the USA has developed a fairly comprehensive toolkit for ensuring that elections held overseas produce the right results. The blowback from one such rigging is what put Putin in power.
Prior to the 1996 Russian election, the USA knew that the Yeltsin government was deeply corrupt. The scholar ME Sarotte summarizes as follows:
`` A small tier of oligarchs had enriched themselves impressively while the average Russian was struggling with unemployment, poverty, and pensions of vanishing value. In the course of 1995, it became clear to Talbott [USA Deputy Secretary of State] that Yeltsin had engaged in a series of Faustian bargains with those oligarchs. In exchange for siphoning their wealth into the Russian president’s “campaign war chest,” [Talbott wrote in a 1995 memo] the Kremlin “paid the oligarchs back with vast opportunities for insider trading,” including the infamous loans-for-shares deal, which was essentially a corrupt auction of state assets. ``
But the oligarch money was NOT enough. Yeltsin was in trouble heading into the election, so Bill Clinton put the screws on the IMF. The result? A "$10 billion loan program" over three years . The World Bank and the USA's largest missile base and aircraft carrier, Japan, also chipped in -- bringing the total to roughly $22.6 billion. But as Sarotte notes:
"Whatever the exact amount, it did little good. Since the IMF funding was not accompanied by sufficiently credible fiscal measures, the funds quickly floated out of Russia."
Yeltsin did, however, freely distribute the money to promote his chances in the 1996 and to cling to power for a short while afterwards. But to ensure Yeltsin's re-election in 1996, these campaign donations were not enough. Wait for it, please.
Russia was at this at war with the break-away province/region of Chechnya. This led to a displaced persons / refugee crisis. International observers estimated that fewer that 500K (1/2 million) adults remained in Chechnya. Well, come election time, over 1 million Chechens voted!
And who do you think 70% of these over 1 million Chechens voted for? You guessed right : the Russian president who was waging war against them, Yeltsin! As Sarotte again notes:
`` a member of the OSCE election-observation team claimed that he was pressured not to reveal the “widespread voter fraud” he had witnessed. A US diplomat serving in the Moscow embassy at the time of the election, Thomas Graham, asserted that the Clinton administration knew the election was not truly fair, but it was a case of “‘the ends justifying the means.’" ``
Widespread voter fraud to keep the right corrupt kleptocrat in power, but "the end justifies the means." Sound familiar?
Let's fast forward. Russia became so vastly dysfunction under the international gang-rape of its assets (including IP) --a gang-rape endorsed by Yeltsin -- that Yeltsin finally had to go. But to ensure his safety, Yeltsin appointed Putin as his successor -- to finish out Yeltsin's term, to grant Yeltsin immunity, to and clean up some of the mess. Putin did win re-election, btw. How free or fair that election was is up for debate. What is NOT up for debate: that the election which keep Yeltsin in power was neither free nor fair.
Putin is very much the monster the USA created by rigging the Russian election, and by organizing the international rape of Russian assets (including IP) by key American and EU based globalized corporations. Putin does not trust the West. Why do we wonder at this?
Finally, who is this ME Sarotte? person I have quoted? Some QAnon crazy? No. Mary Elise Sarotte i is the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Distinguished Professor of Historical Studies at John Hopkins University. The primary source I cite from Sarotte -- Not One Inch More: America, Russia, and the Making of a Post-Coldwar Stalemate -- was published by Yale University Press in 2021.
We are just two years later, and one wonders if the same book could be published. Instead, all her scholarship -- and that of Stephen Cohen, JJ Mearsheimer, and more -- has already gone down the memory hole. Thanks again for this post.
Fascinating history thanks DH. They really are burying the work of Russian scholars to rewrite history. It's embarrassing what's taken place by the west re: Russia the past few years. I do hope future historians do not treat them kindly. Look forward to your piece.

True. MS Sarotte is unquestionably part of the establishment. She also wrote an outstanding and detailed analysis which helps explain the USA and Nato enlargement helped bring about the current crisis. As a general rule, I prefer establishment sources when it comes to USA government activities. Our experts and elites do a very good of documenting their own crimes. We in turn do a very good of not paying attention.
Likewise, Strobe Talbott, for all his considerable faults, was good enough to put some damning things on paper -- on official memos -- about the USA efforts in Russia during the Yeltsin era. I'm not going side with Strobe Talbott on nearly any issue, but I will use the documents he produced as sources. Etc.
On a similar note, I have some posts on the BioLabs in Ukraine. Yes, the Biolabs are real. Yes, also confirmed by multiple Pentagon statements -- all of which require careful parsing. Read them thoroughly enough, do some background research, and the results are mind-boggling. Just damning. So I don't ignore the DOD, either.
If MS Sarotte will document for us -- will admit -- how corrupt things were and how the election was rigged, how bad and how much deeper does it go? That's a question worth asking and answering, but IMO we start with what can be reasonably proven -- which is horrific enough. Then go down the rabbit hole from there.

I think rabbi trump wants to get in to save satanyahoo and israel cause in 4 years he NEVER once mentioned the white working class who put him in the white house. he kissed black and jew ass and I am glad jew feds and black DA's in the states are going after him. pardoning rappers and releasing 1000's of blacks out of jail got him nowhere. he did not keep his main promises and hired the worst of the worst deep staters. the fake right wing show hosts will never name the jew cause all they care about is money and fame
And most right wing show hosts are of the fake tribe.
I am sick of hearing oh they are not real jews. they follow the talmud and the OT like deuteronomy a manual on how to slaughter rape loot murder and enslave gentiles. exactly what the "fake" jews are doing in israel. ISIS israels private army used OT methods to crucify burn drown behead torture and rape 100's of thousand of syrians
"Behold, I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan". Humanist/materialists like Yuval "Homo Deus" Harari of the WEF also qualify for membership.
You are ignorant of The Bible and it’s context. The nation’s in and around ancient Palestine you have to look at through the lens of Gen 6:4. As to the Talmudic Jews, they are not the Torah Jews, and even the Torah Jews cannot be themselves without Temple, Ark of the Covenant, Sacraficial system, etc.
You atheists are the most convoluted of all - thinking we come from nothing, have no meaning, and then whine about all that is going on.
take the buybull and shove it. the OT is a bunch of fairy tales. there was no exodus solomon and king david never existed. the wailing wall was a fort for the Roman Tenth Legion the army under Titus that destroyed jewrusalem and the temple. the jews god in the OT was the devil. Jesus told the jews their father was the devil
Ah, here we go with context again. At least you admit to the existence of Jesus. Whoops! The Jews by that time were as America is today, infested with the devils seed - See Gen 6:4 for context. You might be right about the so-called wailing wall, a Disney prop to dupe Jews and Christians. So what.
More textual evidence to the Bible than any other text out there. One could make a better argument that Plato is a fiction, such little evidence is there to support him. His “works” could be Masonic works from a much later (more present) time.
you say so what about the wailing wall . meanwhile nobody running for office in the west will get anywhere unless they pay homage to a fictious wall. while the jews hump the wall to have sex with some satanic goddess. jews best story tellers and that is why they ended up in hollywood. I notice you did not say nothing about the made up exodus soloman and david. shlomo sand a jew exposed the fairy tales the jews made up
Dear Good Citizen, great posting! Excellent summary. Cathartic to read.
