Having more or less failed (so far!) to drum up violent resistance to their brigandage aimed at civilian persons, the Sicherheitsdienst einsatz gruppen try provoking the sheriffs… https://x.com/thewarmonitor/status/2014497454662598829?s=61  Sooner or later they’ll get people to shoot…and then presto! The Great Pizzmaker can decree “Martial Law” and with, no doubt, geat regret he’ll postpone sine die any more elections… WarMonitor on X: “Maine: Cumberland County sheriff says ICE [violently and illegally arrested] detained one of his corrections recruits, a U.S. citizen, even after he identified himself and said where his ID was.

Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: This Could Break NATO: Trump, Rutte, and Europe’s Last Stand (Must Watch with Attention)

this is must watch.

However I must quibble with the good Prof Wolff. He noted today would see held the Minneapolis AFL-CIO strike (first since Truman regime!). 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

The Minneapolis AFL-CIO has issued the nation's first citywide general strike call since 1946 in response to ICE abuses in the city.

For those living in Minnesota, there will be a general strike in Minnesota on Friday January 23rd.

This is a union backed strike because of the heinous actions and continual trampling of constitutional rights by ice.

I wonder though. This may be misplaced hopes of pushback. CONUS has since been deindustrialized. Complete eugenicist satanists are in charge, wholly intent on mass jobs layoffs, impoverization, and depopulation. They will use this, like a judo martial artist the momentum of his enemy, to their advantage. And after generations of sellout by labor leaders and the Democratic Party, how can morale and discipline hold in the coming attrition? And in addition to deindustrialization, many of the existing jobs are industrial butchers, farms – who are either shutting down or already replaced with H1A/illegals. Labor is in very bad shape, top to bottom

History of propaganda…nazi excercise “Steadfast Defender” practices for war between “Krautland and the Russian Dictator Putin“. I think this video is from 2024…U-Boot der Bundeswehr: Sturmfahrt in Deutschlands Super-Waffe U 36 …  (my bold)  Nice boat… 10 minutes of glorious propaganda about the brave wolves of the seas…an all that stuff…

A longer video of a transit in very rought weather…mostly surfaced! about an hour, similar boat, from 2025 … essentially more propaganda… nice boat though… (Do I hear a faint “Geewhiz, if only we had those in the old days…”)

[Mr P]

I see no dilemma….”trust”? Sure, you can be sure their promises mean nothing… 

Putin’s Dilemma: Can Russia Afford to Trust Trump and America?

Here Larry Johnson speaks with General Buzhinsky and Prof. Dmitry Suslov about the internal power struggle shaping U.S. policy toward Russia. The conversation looks at how competing factions inside Washington influence decisions on Ukraine, why escalation and negotiations coexist, and what these contradictions mean for the future of U.S.–Russia relations — and the possibility of a deal.

“This is not a collection of random crises, but a unified process of the synchronized collapse of the old world order and the painful transition to a new, as yet unformed reality. All events—from the price of silver to the Davos speech—are interconnected symptoms of this global bifurcation.
The gist of what is happening:
We are witnessing the collapse of a system based on three pillars: unconditional trust in the US dollar as a reserve currency, the hegemony of the “united West” under American leadership, and the belief in endless growth based on fiat (unbacked) money and debt. This system has reached its mathematical and political limits…

[Mr P]

The say that another person has been shot dead by the ICE men, er, thugs, zone Minneapolis… that makes 3, so far. They claim the dead fella had a gun, and there’s a picture that looks to me like a toy gun…but a fancy toy. Sooner or later…oh well, you know…

[amarynth]

There are a bunch of videos – I cannot easily figure out what happened, but what is clear, is that there are six of them piled on the guy before shot or shots.

Seems the border patrol is taking this as their shot. “‘Our agents’ used ‘justifiable force in eliminating the threat’

[Mr P]

Yeah… Looked to me as though they beat the guy up, then pulled back and shot him as he lay on the ground. If so, another first degree murder. Whether or not he had a gun does not seem relevant. He was a threat to no one.  Even if he was, the second shot makes it defined as murder, since the shooter was in no danger from the guy on the ground.

[Mr P]

Evidently the dead guy had a gun and a permit to carry it…and after assaulting him the ICE thugs took the guy’s gun out of his waistband – he never pulled the gun — and After That the thugs shot the helpless unarmed guy several times…

thursday’s nima with michael & richard offers some insight into the complexities of putin & the other members of primakov’s select cadre.  michael’s family, its history & its impact upon him as well as on minneapolis was riveting, however, michael’s revelation of stalin’s agreement with roosevelt to refrain from supporting or promoting labour strikes during the war is singular.  therein, we may find some glimmer of comprehending russia’s pragmatism.   mao’s disenchantment with stalin.   it’s possible all russian generals must be capable of burning moscow to secure victory.    mao understood this, & made several decisions similar, but never (to my knowledge) against an ally.  in the west we are suckled upon the myths arising from plunder, its right to rule & own, so much so we erect museums to showcase plunder.    russia & china are suckled upon the realities of being vanquished & plundered & appear reconciled, bonded in a desire to attain security.  perhaps to serve this they endeavour to avoid empire’s distractions & pitfalls.

[Mr P]

The general principle is that when a few people gain great wealth they as a class take over the state and run it to benefit themselves and exploit and impoverish everyone else…as Carlin put it, “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.” The remedy being Jubilee…confiscation of wealth or simple destruction of it. Capitalism, whether State run or as it exists in westzone is a threat to the stability of the state and to the people… This seems to vary according to culture and history, and maybe by “races”… but withal it is always a danger to the state.  The Russian class of super wealthy people is clearly a danger and skews the principled actions of the State with “factional” powers. Putin must be aware of this…and I wonder how he intends to deal with it, if at all. This mechanism was operative and causal in the destruction of USSR.

[amarynth]

The man killed by federal agents in Minneapolis today has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old American citizen and former US Air Force veteran who worked as a nurse.

And they say the protestors are now biting off the fingers of ICE agents.

 

[Mr P]

Caligula was killed by his guards January 24th, 41 A.D. Sometimes coincidences happen.

………….

But moving on to the Great Orange Plan…one may ask about lies, and especially obvious absurd lies, why? The Great Man announced that Jeffrey Pretti was an assassin. Stumpy remarked that the Plan is to so rouse and alarm the populace that some few rash people will, as he so colorfully put it : “Get naked in a tower with a few heavy rifles…”   And thus the Leader will be “authorized” or obliged to decree “Martial Law” and with deep regret “postpone” the November elections sine die. The use of the word assassin gives away the Plan, which the script obviously calls for… We recall the Maidan “revolution”…and the assassins there provided.

[cronetoo]

[amarynth]

Also, to tie in with MrP – the word domestic terrorist. That poor guy was shot to death for no reason. But the machine of lies is active now …

I wonder if people are already putting wagers on .. will there be a midterm election?

[Mr P]

There’s chatter about “funding” the ICE gang...Jake Sherman on X: “This ICE situation is a nightmare for the Senate. Cannot see a scenario in which Senate Dems can vote for this 6-bill package which includes DHS funding. Govt shuts down Friday. First Senate procedural vote likely not until Wednesday, giving them limited room to maneuver. House”….https://x.com/jakesherman/status/2015172731583476075?s=61 and ….https://x.com/punchbowlnews   Some say another “shut-down” is in offing…

Totally unrelated 😉 ! ………. ahemtink about how violence and injustice and murder makes for a long train of vengeance, every father’s murder makes a “rebel” son… (sometimes several!)…and so movie for to-night BEHOLD A PALE HORSE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsj6gyxz8DM

Quote for Recital.……”And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and he who is sitting on him—his name is Death, and Hades follows with him, and there was given to them authority to kill over the fourth part of the earth with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth.”

Catchy, eh?

[amarynth]

The border Barbie writes letters:

Pam Bondi did send a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, tying ICE cooperation to broader federal demands, including access to Minnesota’s voter rolls.

“Third, allow the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice to access voter rolls to confirm that Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal law as authorized by the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Fulfilling this common sense request will better guarantee free and fair elections and boost confidence in the rule of law.

I am confident that these simple steps will help bring back law and order to Minnesota and improve the lives of Americans.”

of secret police and gangs and stuff…longtimeago I worked with a Cuban guy who explained how his middle class family supported Castro…the Batista gang acted like the ICE gang…later when Castro disappointed his family, he was back in Cuba, with explosives and a gun for the Bay of Pigs fiasco…supposed to blow a bridge someplace…anyway he described Cuba under Batista… Some of his attitudes toward the poor people, and the poor girls especially, in Havana I found rather disagreeable… and I thought him naive, classist, but courageous.

[Mr P]

Well, he poses the question, and talks, but never gives an answer…

[amarynth]

That is typical of Greenwald.  He is a rightwinger and has done serious harm in Brazil.  And where are the children that he and his husband adopted in Brazil before the husband died?  Boy kids?

He will never answer a question.  He will just allude to stuff.

I mean, we can make a list of the possible why issues – pick one.

No Epstein files and no mid-term elections.  There is not a wager on Polymarket on this as yet.  I think it is not necessary in the eyes of Trump and Co .. as they are using their BoP (Board of Peace) to replace rules and laws within the US.
