about minute 56

 

 

[AHH]

It may not yet rise to level of provocation.. many crimeans and novorossiyans continue to be maimed and killed, but in such dribs and drabs as not to trigger any major retaliation. As in Gaza, it is timed and calculated precisely, with A.I. killing algorithms. The demons slice it well. Most of it appears to bolster the black energy of their side, and to still appear relevant and undefeated.. in other words, “Rules-based Terrorism.” And just enough to keep narratives pinned for their captive populations to prevent a mass exodus, of both Plato’s Cave and physically of their digital gulags

Doesn’t he have the faux-innocence of a blinking Stan Laurel??

I reckunz that following this escapade the ‘spensive nazi robot flying machines, oft see aloft sobre the mer noir are going to be brought down. Hines only set fire to the low rider’s automobile. He might have done much more, much worse. His was a measured response.

There may be action in reprisal of some subtle nature in zone west, served cold.

Sunday summer at the beach with the kids… diabolical!

[Mr P]

I forgot to mention, listening with one ear, Nixon, probably Joti B spoke of Russian policies being very nearly the same as Stalin’s. I agree. This provides a modicum of predictability, ahbetcha. However since their august masters of nazi strategy believe their own lies… it’s going to be amusing when they get their bigbig ‘sprise.

Yes, I thought Joti knocked it out of the park with this one…the first 25 minutes or so left me open-mouthed with admiration for how well she was explaining the big things that matter so much right now.

I meant to post it here, but it can take a village sometimes..many thanks 🙂

[AHH]

Joti Brar and Nixon discuss the extraordinary care the Koreans took in preparing for this seismic visit by Prez Putin. Putin was so overcome he additionally thanked them several times afterwards, including today:

💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕️ 🇷🇺🇰🇵 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin sent a message to Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un.

✉️ I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful reception and warm hospitality the Russian delegation and I received during our stay in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

This state visit has special significance because it has elevated relations between Moscow and Pyongyang to an unprecedentedly high level of comprehensive strategic partnership. From now on, new horizons for fruitful cooperation in the most diverse areas are opening up before our countries.

I will be happy to continue our constructive dialogue and close joint work. Please be sure that you are always a welcome guest on Russian soil.

Korea spent three months setting it up. They last feted a visiting dignitary in such grand scale before the current Korean leader was born — in 1978 with Romania’s Ceaușescu. And yes dear Amarynth, Korea is a civilizational-state, and a glorious one at that! Like Gaza, they do their part to bury the Last Satanic Empire

[AHH]

This is bizarre – as with Crocus City terror event, Trump is intimatedly connected! In the Crocus event in Moscow, the owners were his close Azeri friends. Here, for the Dagestan event, he just met in June with the famous UFC fighter Khabib from Dagestan. The perps yesterday were largely MMA fighters from Dagestan. Wonder who is using the unwitting Last American Prez as his “trumpet” and calling card, like a sly serial murderer? And note they aim these rituals inside Russia around the solstices

💠 @DDGeopolitics:
(June 6) 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Donald Trump confessed to former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov that the Russian is his favorite fighter and that he always rooted for him, according ti the athlete’s manager Rizvan Magomedov.

He confirmed that during a conversation in the U.S. at Islam Makhachev’s fight, Trump and Nurmagomedov also briefly discussed the situation in Palestine.

💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕ (June 14) US former President Donald Trump said that he got along with Russian President Vladimir Putin because it’s better to deal with the strong. Trump said that he discussed the settlement of the Ukraine crisis with Russian UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov and promised him to stop the conflict immediately after the US elections;

Trump claims he was tortured in jail

“I want you to remember what they did to me,” Trump said in the fundraising pitch. “They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail and took my mugshot.”

The politician spent just half an hour in a Georgia penitentiary last August; he was photographed and released on bail.

After a jury’s guilty verdict in another case, Trump declared himself a political prisoner.

[Mr P]

The esthetic is exquisite. Let us recall Leo Szilard in Voice of Dolphin, that in America it is understood that two idiots are better than a genius and an idiot, let alone two geniuses. In the eye of the “other” the marine mammal, glints two images, both idiots, the flatuant Bye-donski and the windy Trunpski.

[Mr P]

About “leaks”. Collateral Murder and just about all “leaks” report crimes, felonies, and criminal conspiracies to commit and to conceal crimes.

From CIA, er “wiki”>

Misprision of felony remains an offense under United States federal law having been enacted in 1790 and codified in 1909 under 18 U.S.C. § 4:

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
U.S. courts have held that misprision of felony requires active concealment of a known felony rather than simple failure to report it.[6]

Under the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, it is illegal for anyone who is aware of being a target of a federal investigation to intentionally erase browser history on a computer. Khairullozhan Matanov was prosecuted for erasing computer records about his friends, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev; he pleaded guilty to a lesser included offense in 2015.[7][8]

The federal misprision of felony statute is usually used only in prosecutions against defendants who have a special duty to report a crime, such as a government official.

I note that in general Assange and many so called “leakers” are accused of failing to conceal material evidence of felonies, while US Code requires them to make their evidence known.

Then, of course there the Ellsberg case, decide by the USSC long ago. … and the First amendment USC

Two illuminating views of Operation Pike

https://www.kp.ru/daily/26632.3/3649743/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Pike

excerpt>

The theoretical possibility of an air strike on Soviet oil fields in the Caucasus was first considered at the very beginning of World War II. In September 1939. This was done by the liaison officer between the General Staff and the French Foreign Ministry, Lieutenant Colonel Paul de Villelume. And in October, French Finance Minister Paul Reynaud asked him a specific question: is the French Air Force, together with the British, able to “bomb oil refineries and refineries in the Caucasus from Syria”? The answer was yes.

Here is one of the archival documents of that time. General Secretary of the French Foreign Ministry Leger wrote to the American Ambassador Bullitt on January 11, 1940: “France will not break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union or declare war on it, it will simply destroy the USSR.”

No doubt many persons and businesses will be inspired to avoid doing business in or maintaining assets subject to the “democracy” and or “Laws” of the EU

EU APPLIES NEW LEGAL RULE TO ALL RUSSIANS – WHAT’S MINE IS MINE, WHAT’S YOURS IS MINE

excerpt>

Buried in the small print and legalese of the new European Union (EU) sanctions announced on June 24 is the re-establishment of the old European and American empires’ operation of privateering. That’s piracy on the high seas licensed by the monarch or the head of state on condition that the proceeds are shared with court and state officials.

In short, state war for private profit — grand larceny by the Great Powers if they can get away with it.

To make sure of that, the EU has issued “Council Decision (CSFP) 2024/1738”  which allows the thieving to be done in secret. In Article 1 of Monday’s document, the EU authorizes “the release of certain frozen funds [Russian], after having determined that the transfer of such funds is: (a) between two natural or legal persons, entities or bodies that are not listed in the Annex to this Decision”. That’s the stealing.  

And here is the cover-up: Article 4a is amended to read that the operation: “shall be subject to professional secrecy and shall enjoy the protection afforded by the rules applicable to the Union institutions. That protection shall apply to the proposals from the High Representative for the amendment of this Decision and to any preparatory documents related to them.”

OK don’t shoot Amarynth. I know this channel ain’t your BFF.. but nice wrap up. The signs were there earlier this year that expansion was on hold. After Argentina, KSA no shows, and India’s waffling, and Egypt and Emirati love for Zionist  Genocide…

the new term to be unveiled in Kazan in October is “BRICS Partner Countries.” It’s a soft entrance or the hors d’oeuvres before the main course resumes in 2025….

PS – I know and love Bolivia. I meant most others. As she said in video, “every BRICK must count.” And even Bolivia needs to safeguard itself from at minimum the internal coup. This they did beautifully  — mobilizing the people, the UNIONS (bless them!), the majority army, neighboring countries did their part too. This was so good to see. They’ve got a spine unlike most. And Borrell’s sad squealing was the icing on the cake

The eternal story of two which destroyed all empires: usury and insatiable elites…

A serendipitous segue from the preceding Tang / USUK Dynasties! And historically logical and proper, no?? Note, after imminent European Dark Winters and unusual wars, they may be on the move again. The 200,000,000 to replace the expunged zionazis in the Holy Land??

[Mr P]

A defect for programming at RT, and generally, in the implied “writers style guide” that the Russians have followed for a long time, is that they never speak of the mythic “9-11” story. The story is of course, absurd, and obviously so. And that’s long been forensically proven beyond any rational challenge.

That myth, that bald lie, laid the foundation for the cryptonazi factions’ Ermächtigungsgesetz, the so-called “Patriot Act”, which had been prepared long in advance, as were the demolition charges, and so forth. Obviously this was treason by some factions, and also obviously an attack by a foreign power ostensibly “allied”. That the act is baldly unconstitutional goes without saying.

This “defective style guide” has been observed, obeyed, very generally, by many journalists and legal professionals – for reasons too obvious to bear mention.

It is therefore astonishing, and brave, that Napolitano, if my ears heard correctly, plans to address, and presumably deconstruct this foundational lie with Richard Gage. I expect this to-day.

It may be that Napolitano intends to ravel out the truth, with his interview forming the thin edge of the wedge, a beginning.

If so, he intends to “dynamite the a-priory assumption” of the western myth, and the “authorization” or consent of the people.

It’s time.

for decades city has planted stupid people in every country it owns.  stupidity connects the wiring throughout empire’s network.  keep the population focused on the inconsequential, the inane & absurd thereby enabling empire to continue its plunder unimpeded.  a drugged, dull, distracted people are incapable of coalescing or becoming a mob.  revolution takes decades & requires a group supremely patient,  covert, wise, intelligent, resourceful & silently telepathically connected to escape detection whilst steadfastly undermining, infiltrating to enliven, awaken empire’s methodically indoctrinated somnolent zombies.

Crime is crime, I object to adding “terrorism” when it usually is just crime and often conspiracy, that said…

A little bird told me a story about the (not very red) Red Indian Tribe Casinos and the many ladies with fists full of cash… somebody said that these ladies gamble with narco racket cash, and naturally the house takes the percentage. Just like a bank, only they can ah, “deposit” all they want to without signing or opening an account or answering silly questions. Recalling that if you gamble long enough you will only lose the house percentage. 😉  Since the narco racketeers often shoot cops when the cops can’t be bribed, or don’t stay bribed, I guess we can accurately say they are “terrusts”.

(Maybe it’s just me, I have never been in a casino nor have I ever gambled, except with my friend Stumpy)

 

[K]

Well said and i notice that even many of  the smart people are also yakking about this tragic and  stupid match as if it  means anything. Can’t help themselves.
Empire must be the centre of attention at all times even if its crap,   i just wonder what would happen if we all forgot about it, ignored it and put our attention elsewhere while the grownups in the room deal with it “politically and technically”.

Mr P,

Ray McGovern is 84 years old …

[Mr P]

Yes, thanks. And 84 is an achievement! I was considering what seem to be recent fairly rapid changes in his apparent age, wondering about why, stress (I am sure) and possibly disease progression. Ray’s about a decade ahead of me. Going over the last 6 months of Napolitano’s Friday confabs, he seems to be aging rapidly. Larry’s younger, but he too seems to be advancing rapidly. Both men must be under a heavy stress. I find both fellows highly avunclear and agreeable.

[Grieved]

I’ve seen them all look older and then younger at different times. It seems to come and go in waves, but always of two steps forward (to aging) and one step back (to youth)…aging must always continue, and there is that qualitative progression.

As we age, I think the minds wants to expand and reflect but these interviews require the addition of contraction and crunching. It must take some personal wisdom to stay balanced and healthy.

Giving interviews is hard work and tiring, but I guess also that all these professional people are excited to be in a time when they need to stay abreast of things and form judgments that they’ll be asked about. They’re in demand, getting famous within certain circles  – and all this at a stage in life that they must have thought would become a sedate time.

I don’t know if there’s any money in this for them, I hope so, just as a bit of extra income to supplement retirement. It must be fun. Surely they will die happy that they were busily involved in the shaping of a new world that they previously had thought was doomed, and the teaching of younger minds thirsty for true knowledge.

Bless ’em all.

[cronetoo]

Replying to Mr P  at 34684 above …

Ray and I are the same age … I have followed him for decades … he has been hounded by the Deep State … was arrested in 2011 (  https://www.justiceonline.org/news/important-victory-in-case-of-ray-mcgoverns-brutal-arrest/  ).. and again at confirmation hearing for Gina Haspel … I would not be surprised if his gov’t pension has been cancelled! He has been a strong supporter of Palestine for a very long time, as well as a peace activist … he is labeled Pro-Russia.  (I’m sure he is stressed – he has a fantastic memory and keen wit… imho)

 RIA Novosti for the first time publishes a video of the internal structure of the ATACMS rocket.

Russian specialists are studying the guidance and flight correction system of the American operational-tactical missile; they have at their disposal a block of laser gyroscopes and a GPS module.

Pretty soon magic rockets will fly to incorrect destinations 😉

 

[Mr P]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

https://archive.org/details/DTIC_ADA090643/page/2/mode/2up

both are descriptive.

decrypting the encrypted GPS correcting input and discovery of ways to feed incorrect error correction, so as to cause Nth missile to go to incorrect destination, is obviously the goal of Ruskie boffins. Just a matter of time and mathematics. They say the nazis no longer make these missiles. Old stock is being used. Quite soon, imho, they will be useless. Each time a missile, even a cannon ball, flies, the “ballistic” is affected by position unique factors of gravity and tidal forces, and the gyros (there are also accelerometers and clocks that make errors)  have intrinsic error. Especially on a long flight this stuff adds up to missing the target, the correction is essential. Misinforming the GPS receiver with false data is the way to defeat these machines. Well, also shooting at them… 😉

Seems to rule, as 1948 does not.

excerpt of explanation of text>

The political agreement between Finland and the RSFSR was signed in Helsinki on January 20, 1992 by the first Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, G. E. Burbulis, and the Prime Minister of Finland, E. Aho. At the same time, the parties stated the termination of the 1948 treaty. On May 14, 1992, the treaty was ratified by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, approved by the Finnish Parliament on May 22, and ratified by the President of Finland M. Koivisto on June 26 of the same year. It entered into force in Russia and Finland on July 11, 1992, after the exchange of instruments of ratification, during the visit of Russian President Boris Yeltsin to Finland on July 10-11.

The Treaty consists of a preamble and 12 articles. Russia and Finland have committed themselves to refrain from using force against each other and not allow third countries to use their territory for armed aggression against the other side. They confirmed their readiness to develop business contacts primarily between Finland and the Murmansk Region, as well as between Karelia, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. The parties expressed their mutual desire to cooperate in environmental issues, in solving environmental problems, to develop cultural, scientific and other contacts, especially among young people. According to the agreement, the identity of Finns and related peoples and nationalities in Russia and, accordingly, natives of Russia in Finland should be preserved, which implies mutual preservation of languages and culture.

Hey! What can go wrong eventually does.

This could be part of the impotents’ verbal escalation, to keep war-war-war percolating, as we also see in the Holy Land theatre. They threaten, they bark, they howl, even as they circle faster and deeper in the drain.

Iirc, we even discussed this back then, and Smoothie had a sardonic comment, based on Putin’s comment that the Leningrad armored fist had been recreated for Finland and suffices. Indeed, having the formerly “neutral” Scandinavians come out of the closet and proudly thrust their hairless nazi chests out simplifies a lot for Russkie military planning. This ain’t 1941 and for sure they won’t be ganged on inside their own land again, nor endure another Leningrad Siege. Hell will travel to the demented.

We have to keep in mind Finns are a tiny people. About 5-6M, all of whom could fit inside St. Petersburg or a New York slum. They’re irrelevant in Armageddon calculations, save as quick targets. 90% or more of their land is uninhabited, of pristine lakes and woods and frozen. And they have delicious reindeer, which I tasted on nightless midsummer’s eve at the Arctic Circle in mid 1980s, in the tents of the nomadic Suomi Laplander natives!

I can’t find his video on this but remember the recreation of the formerly disbanded dedicated armies protecting Leningrad and Moscow (started at latest in 2022), were linked to anticipation of spread of NATO war to the toxic nazi domains of Scandinavia.

Mr. P,

Finland broke that agreement recently… as well as closing the border between Russia and Finland…

(iirc, I read of both these events on ‘Chronicles of the Acop….’ )

[Mr P]

Thanks, to both of you. I remember that we discussed this. So, one might then take the view that the status quo anti obtains.  If so, legalistically speaking, maybe, NATO has a member in a condition of war with Russia, though I am unclear precisely what the SQA was – recalling the the Finnish nazi army was allied with the others. Maybe there was an armistice or cease fire agreement. As said, or implied, why now emphasize? Not everything is part of a conspiracy, but yes, wierd.  Perhaps the matter is another lure to entice Russia to make a fuss. Rattle cage. Provoke.

Speaking of conspiracy… RT

OK I never shared this guy before. Even I have my limits. Let’s delve into the kind of Numerology Ms. Lagarde never discussed..

He is an Armenian brother in California (a deadly combination, like MEK Persians in California, or Republicans at Bohemian Grove or Nazis at Stanford…. i tell ya, there’s something in the water and soil of southern CA) that has two fetishes: Elvis and Trump. And for years, he’s insisted that Trump gets his head nearly blown off on Obama’s birthday (Aug 04). He’s been wrong the last half dozen years.. is it his year??

He’s a case study what happens in the indulgence and obsession with math. iirc certain medieval mystics or saints cautioned against the deep study of math — it can lead to madness.

Pursuant to our discussions on Finland and asymmetrical responses to intermediate range missiles pushed by West in 404, here are several interesting considerations.

1. Similar (formerly prohibited by INF treaty) missiles placed in Yakutia or Russian furthest east can easily target Alaska, and west coast military installations. Aren’t most US early warning land radars on Alaska? LOL. Was it another case of projection when Russkie OTH land radars were struck?! When Eyes in the Sky are blinded, WHO will be most dependent on those reachable land radars??
2. Finland joining NATO is actually a huge liability! If 20M total population Ukies with a warrior ethic cannot hold the current 800 km front, how can 5M geeky metrosexual Finns hold a similar 800 km front?? And Russia, ostensibly to promote trade to Europe, just built a superhighway (autobahn) leading directly to the Finnish border…. 😅😂
3. Last, the fate of Ceaușescu is forecast for Le Petit Roi…..

“And Russia, ostensibly to promote trade to Europe, just built a superhighway (autobahn) leading directly to the Finnish border” The abrogated Treaty included increased trade and friendly relations, iirc. Also iirc the Dutch built a nice big fat road to the German border in the run up to WW2, much criticised at the time. And iirc there were plenty of nazi  Dutch… (memory of a discussion as we drove the highway with Dutch student friends, in, naturally, a volkswagen…I wonder too if the Finns bothered to follow the treaty provisions for ending the treaty, or just ignored these. I think it says a year notice.

[Mr P]

Alas! The usually accurate Comrade follows the canonical false history>

“Dmitry Medvedev
On July 4, Americans are going to celebrate. On this very day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence formally separating the US from Great Britain was accepted. The usual set of events is planned, accompanied by barbeque smoke, colourful fireworks, and pompously dull speeches.
Today in America they speak quieter and far less about that very Civil War that lasted from 1861 till 1865, even though it is an outstanding event in history, and its outcomes are quite important for an average person overseas.
Why? One of the reasons is that gloomy parallels with today become more obvious, including the “premonition of civil war.” It is enough to watch their recent film, Civil War.

However, there are other very unpleasant associations.
It has become clear to many that the experience of long-term confrontation between the Union and the slave-owning Confederacygreatly resembles the Ukrainian conflict.

In terms of industrial potential and human resources, the difference between the North and the South was comparable to that betweentoday’s Russia and the f. Ukraine. And with that, the ideals of the adversaries greatly differed. For the North, it was equality, liberty, same law for all, while the South propagated inhumane, inveterate racism. The foreign bastards – same as today, England and France – brazenly intervened, wishing for the South to win. They supported slave-owners then in the same way they support nazi Kiev today, together with the present-day US.

The parallels are more than obvious – and all the more unpleasant for the left-liberal establishment that runs the US mass-media. In American press, the President of Russia is sometimes even likened to Abraham Lincoln. Take, for example, this telling headline: Vladimir Lincoln Invaded Ukraine to Preserve the Cohesion of the Union.

For Washington, there are many unpleasant allusions within the political and diplomatic aspects of the special military operation and the Civil War of the 19th century, including its outcomes.
As is well known, Lincoln, the Republican president, eventually won the war; unlike their demented leader, Biden’s Democratic party comrades haven’t completely lost their memory. They know that Lincoln’s victory became part of world history; his name is revered in Europe, Latin America and Africa for real accomplishments, and absolutely not because his portrait adorns banknotes. Yet, the White House buffoons of today, like some mediocre Blinken, as well as the sullen elderly of the Senate, would not even dream of that.

The senseless and impotent propaganda of the White House of today is also desperately looking for an epiphany in history books. They bring in the narrative that Ukraine is kinda acting like Britain in 1940-41. They proclaimthe little man with red, shifty eyes wearing a shabby khaki T-shirt the “new Churchill.” They demand that an old geezer with his mouth half-open, who can hardly stand upright became the “new Roosevelt”, probably hinting that the future US president would likely rule from a wheelchair due to poor health. However, the demented old man is no FDR; which is why the public winces in disbelief.

America is a country with short history –however hurtful this might be for Americans – but there are some bright pages in it. One of them is precisely the Civil War, which marked victory over slavery. This is the angle for overseas public to look at what is happening here: in essence, a civil war among the same people, in which the majority are forced to defend their independence with weapons,fighting against the new nazis who are once again supported by corrupt Europe and American military industrial complex.
And just like in the 19th century, the outcome of this war should be the unification of our country. The revival of Great Russia!

P.S. Hey you, Americans! To paraphrase that Trump of yours, Make Russia Great Again!”

That’s a pity… Of course Lincoln “freed” only the slaves he could not free, those in the Confederacy. And was in direct violation of law throughout his tenure.
 

[AHH]

It is as you said – the raving are so deep into their own narratives, they are unreachable. Contrived Perception became Reality in Zone A — and before Medvedev was born.

I think this is why the civilizational-states do not bother trying to expose Pearl Harbor or 911 as well, far more relevant and dangerous myths. They will simply be unreachable. The Narratives become Canon. It is like hollering at Zionists to not be messianic or to stop believing in their merciless version of God.

So Medvedev mocks and uses their own contrived history to distress them — highlighting losses to come in 404, as it did for the Confederacy.

Ultimately success in fighting them will need to come from the outside, the old fashioned way. To at least corral them and hamstring them and deny them force projection and the means to continue inflicting Chaos on the Rest of us. Deprived of loot, plunder, new resources, and after a period of stewing in their own juices, and necessarily kept deindustrialized and with low tech, a modicum of sanity will hopefully return. If not, the problem is theirs, affecting solely their own QoL. A messy painful but overdue divorce

[Mr P]

Having (finally!) completed examination of the 4 hour video on Liberty and the treasons, I note the dog that does not say “woof”. Dallas. It’s obvious that the short hair in the nazi grasp was the murder of Kennedy in Dallas. Johnson the crook and traitor was not only a willing conspirator, he was also mouse-trapped by that treason. Just at the very end of the film I do take note that the inside-job demolitions of “911” and the current subornation of Trumpoffski have a brief flashing moment. Let us then consider the present state of conflict with respect to the probable course of near term history with respect to Palestine and the business with Russia, China, and the free world. Yes, let’s see who is free, and who is not. 😉  Pretty soon we’ll probably know all about it.

My fellow Americans are today ‘celebrating’ the 4th of July …

I’m NOT …

I’m remembering all the women and children, elderly, young men America has killed …

for profit …

for power …

for no reason…

other than “Hey, we can do this … anytime, anywhere we choose, just to remind you not to mess with us” (Hiroshima and Nagasaki for instance – nuked on the orders of a little short guy who had ‘issues’ I’m sure)

I’ve spent most of my 84 years grieving, praying over … these deeds … beginning with the zionist project, then my late brother’s tales of Viet Nam (and witnessing his drug addiction (introduced in the military, carried over to civilian life until he switched to the Bible and “Israel”) … and on and on … it never stops!

And to use Amarynth’s lament … ‘and the world does nothing’ …

and while I have fought feeling ‘hate’ all my life …

today I find I lack the energy to continue that battle …

Not celebrating today, that’s for darn sure …

Crone, you’ll appreciate this review of Todd. This screenshot is among the conclusions of his book.

The raison d’être of end-stage mad Empire is the endless cycle and orgy of violence. To inflict mass Punishment, both to regain lost respect and deterrence, and as balm to feed despair and dark energy. It is identical to what we see in Gaza today. So it has always been.

It is psychic pain for us, since it is ostentatiously beamed live in high definition, and we assumed such deeds only occurred in demented medieval and biblical times. But there is at the End, truly little new, nor much advancement in our sorry state.

To Mr. P #35064

We American school children were taught that the civil War was about ending slavery.   as an adult I wondered, since so few Southerners owned slaves, why this issue couldn’t have been settled without killing half a million young  men.

Now I know that slavery was a minor  issue in the Civil War.  Wars are fought with borrowed money.  The North was not about to let all those Southern tax payers stop paying back the bondholders who funded the recent Mexican War.  Tariffs were imposed to stimulate Northern industries and were a major issue.  Most of the port were in the South.  Southerners would get more imports if they didn’t have to pay the tariffs which went for Northern infrastructure.   Like most wars the Civil War was also about money.

The current Special Military Operation is also about money.  There is a definite uptick in the  MIC stocks.  Plus lining lots of private pockets. The empire is hoping for another twenty year revenue stream. For Russia it is an existential threat. No military weaponry and biological weapons labs on their border.

For those still hanging to the Civil War folklore here are a couple of good reads:

“The Real Lincoln by Thomas J DiLorenzo.  2002

“When in the Course of Human Events”  Charles Adams. 2000

The dissolution of a nation does not have to be a shooting war like the Civil War.Could be more and more refusing to cooperate with the desired narrative.  Recently I learned that the Attorneys General of twenty two U.S. states have announced that they will not enforce the WHO treaty.   Its starting!

 

[Mr P]

You may have seen/read a related GS article and associated video>

What Really Happened to the USSR

 

[Mr P]

Thanks, Theodora. I will check those volumes out.

Dissolution is rarely by mutual consent, I think, if ever. I suppose that it takes place due to the growth of latent internal contradictions. Although of course such contradictions are generally exploited by outside agencies. In the instance of the US dissolution, European forces, primarily the English. It’s plain that this continues with the so-called “special relationship”. Because one faction desires to exploit the other, not only denial of consent, but violence is almost always part of the process. In the dissolution of USSR, let us recall that there was indeed violence, and not only shooting, with tanks firing cannon in Red Square, but the violence of a vast wave of murders and criminal events, poverty, suicides, looting, and so on. That dissolution was attended by treason and was, well argued to have been, illegal. The American event was, in my opinion, lawful on the part of the South, and baldly illegal on the part of the North. I note that to-day the South remains overtly occupied, with myriad military bases .

I spoke previously of Dr Roberts. see> https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/understanding-the-civil-war/ for a good discussion.

I am myself descended from a relation that joined the Ohio Volunteers at 15, was a POW at Libby Prison, escaped in an exchange (under the name of a dead man) and fought in, I am told, every major battle, finishing the war with Sherman. His issue was slavery, and slavery alone, so I have been told. The family, Quakers, had run a station on the Ohio River in the “Underground Railroad”, risking lynching on a regular basis. From the perspective we understand to-day, he was duped by his own passions, experience, and those enthusiasms of boy-hood, as a “true believer”, if we use Erik Hoffer’s concept, or even Bill Burroughs’, or W.C. Fields’ “Old Army Game”.. bluntly, deception, cozening. I note that these deceptions have become the canonical false “truth”… and thus maintained the thin edge of the wedge of internal contradiction, latent, but rumbling yet, and ready to spring out.

As you say, States begin to passively object. I note, however, that Federal subornation of essentially every local police and sheriff department exists, with deep ties not only to the Federal power agencies, but also to the zionists, both foreign and domestic, indistinguishable from nazis. Thus we see the contradictions between the people and power at even the smallest places and at every provincial level. In a blunt way of saying, all the settlements of America are occupied. Every person held in the iron grip of lies, belief, and force.

As imperial power, based on plunder of foreign spaces and peoples inevitably retreats, the looting of domestic wealth rises, thus concentrating focus on fissures of contradiction. At some point, here and there, and then everywhere, the occupying agencies will fail to pay their “soldiers”. Dissolution follows apace, inevitably, and we assume, with episodes of bitter violence.

At some point along that process pathway, we are sure, inho, so see “invasion” by invitation. I expect Russia and China will send forces to execute humanitarian necessity, and also because it is strategically necessary to secure the very dangerous things, atomic plants, weapons, chemical plants, as well as to bring the arrest of the major criminals. The Country will become, with luck, regionalized, and entirely changed. No longer an imperial state, at best a confederacy, and of course, with a smaller population. Deagel predicted a great reduction in population. Starvation and violence will have taken a terrible toll.

Thanks agin for the historical titles, Theodora. I will check those out! Best! P

Posting this video  … first 8 mins might be new info for you …

[Mr P]

The rules pertaining to 501c3 are highly droll. We had to study them in an unrelated matter. Functionally they require regular corporate filings, and an office staff…probably with a manager and secretary and a lawyer, such that it is essentially impractical to run a local non-profit book club, but highly “advantageous” to run a business, that’s to say a racket, under their cover, especially when the regulating agencies have a “no look no see” policy.  The penalties for errors are heavy, iirc personal prosecution and/or fines, but we note many see the enforcement policies as political favoritism, or political persecution, depending on which 501c3 it is… (he wrote with sarcasm) I saw the Napolitano title, but had not listened to it. Thanks, I am so doing now.

[Mr P]

Speaking of slavery, and of the free world…which phrase now has most clearly a double wry meaning. Where is the free world now? 

Good film, like good literature, tells several stories simultaneously, as, for example, we see in Mortimer’s Rumpole TV series. These also serve, often, as political commentary. Speaking of this multitudinous quality, Sally of the Sawdust, touted past the film censors of 1920’s (my great grandmother was a film censor in Kansas, btw) – touted as a romantic comedy, serves also, and more interestingly, as a brutal political commentary of the foundational character of classism, capitalism, and the basic nature of the western swindle – revealing it to be merely a vast racket based on deceit and the manufacture of delusional belief, as the primary driver of what might be politely called “western, or American, culture”. Thus Salley of the Sawdust. 1925  Paramount Pictures  Carrol Dempster, our heroine, by the way, sleuthed out for herself a wealthy stock-broker, married him, and never again made a film. She joined the lesiure class, just as Sally does. We may see Fields as her pimp, if you take one view, both literally and figuratively.  And he caged out a fine price for her virtue, and to his own long-sought wealth and leisure as well.

https://archive.org/details/SallyOfTheSawdust

We note usage too, the old army game, a game of skill, and science. The film is all about the old army game, played by the rich on one another, and upon the poor and working class, and sometimes by the downtrodden poor upon the rich.  Discover the morality of the west, and the US imperial ambitions. And we catch a glimpse of how the Country longed for a socialist or communist leveling. No wonder FDR said he saved the ruling class! They tossed us a toasted roll, and kept the bakery. Note the oven scene 😉
