You are appreciated dear A! Pl pace yourself, although you know the drill by now, lol. Burnout is real… esp. in these exceptionally stressful times 🙏🏼🤲🏼

Ok I yield Mr P!!! You know I don’t have the legal mind. In fact, Father periodically chided me for cutting corners and not strictly observing the due and spirit of the Law. He was trained in it, knew its particulars, and the import of respecting it, whether or not elites did so or it had fallen into wider disrepair.. he slept better at night knowing the crooks had nothing on him. And he’d been hunted over three continents.

And my mixed metaphors entangled. The process I was trying to describe is not precisely as understood in mens rea but how men lie to themselves into adulthood, participating in wider war on others (what Russians call as part of the collective West). Most in west fundamentally understand there is a permanent state of war, and acquiesce. Ramifications???

All the old civilizations collapsed. None escaped corruption. On a long enough timeline, it will happen to even the current Knights of Zone B or multipolarity.. Time is the Bane of all Men.

What I getting at with the phrase “all men deserve their leaders” points to the end phase of all cities/states/civilizations, which must go to dust before the next renewal. Yes, as all cities are led by fallible men, they must in the passage of time fall prone to error and unsurvivable vice.

And perhaps, looking at the big view, such crazies must come to power during end phases, precisely to remove restraining Mercy for the Nemesis to be leveled? It is astounding the near uniform parallels of fanaticism, fatalism, parasitism and oppression of others and the basic lack of self-preservation of elites during phases of disintegration. They themselves urge on Collapse!

There is also the difference between divine law and human law. The latter has ever been shaped to corrupt oligarchic will, increasingly diverging from the original until it is a risible parody. So we see today the astounding spectacle of US Supreme Court justices using the constitution like toilet paper! Like how Bush II was elected. Such is the contempt even the highest courts have for their simulacra during the end phase. So argumentation based on extant human law can lead to surprises, as often seen throughout history, when divine will was reimposed to wipe the slate clean of wretches seeking to deceive even the creator using lawfare, legalism and legerdemain.

All this may be moot. The issue is the criminal few hide amongst the sea of the Golden Billion, using them as human shields, like Azov in Mariupol. The fight will need to be brought to them, they leave no option. Can the cancer be excised without cost to the entire body???

And I really wonder at the nerve of Russians to calmly process the ongoing ungodly provocations. Open moves are made to set up a first strike or significant sucker punch against them. The easily-sunk blocking mechanisms for the counter strike leisurely sail to their coasts. The tremendous changed and positive geopolitical position, potential and bright realizable plans of the Russians are being used against them! They are in zugzwang too. (1) If they preemptively strike or counter strike, they lose out on the bright future, being set back even further than in 1945. (2) The only other option they’re being given is to kneel to western Hegemony, even more unacceptable with the open satanism on display. What a choice! And the mindwashing and practicing evil of western top military cadre remains so thorough, augmented by continuous purges of the intelligent and honorable, they cannot coopt with entreaty to reason…. so unless there is an asymmetric Hail Mary, the die appears cast

“Thus perhaps morality is unrelated to the natural development of fascist institutional stupidity – not the responsibility of the people at all, but ruining them without heart… Ethics is at least a dual input “crunch”, so to say. Reality-perception-character in a tirade?”

As you intimate at the end Mr P, it’s a mixed bag… I may not be a lawyer, but logic says its not categorical either way, even accounting for elite subterfuge. There is the ineluctable process of two-way seduction, of both sides preferring the show on the wall of their Plato’s Cave, and working to shape it to mutual satisfaction. Elites do not operate in a vacuum. A saying exists in all old civilizations – “a people get the leaders they deserve…”

Even before the current suffocating PR (the 4th estate becoming open stenographers of Oligarchy) there was a process of gradual immersion, greased by the trauma of war, privation, and periodic lessons such as Dealey Plaza and Kent State atrocities. Does not a dope addict take the first hit consciously and voluntarily? So decades of abuse later, even though he is on autopilot and a helpless victim in society’s eyes, isn’t there nevertheless a portion of blame??

This is the stuff of entire libraries.. in every era in every civilization.. do the silent majority have agency when they invariably participate in high crimes? Is not silence acquiescence and in essence participation and thus complicity in Law?

More pertinent, what does moral Law hold? What happened to entire societies in biblical narration, when the unopposed course of a few elite families, condemned the whole city? If we agree the same Lord continues to sit above all earthly petty lords and still has Sovereignty, and Justice means impartiality and consistency, what does it imply today for the silent majority??

We live in a sad age, marinated in deliberate ahistorical and amoral emotion which mock these as “trite old stories…” The secular modern Liberal Man holds that each is responsible for the square meter around his feet, and that the obviously criminal overlords neither speak nor can condemn us innocent individuals.

Is that so???? What stories are westerners raised in from birth, helping set the current stage? To believe in Santa Clause, the Tooth fairy and other ludicrosity, permitting instillation of doublethink from preschool. And this proceeds through every age. So adults are embalmed in cultivated – and widely accepted – ignorance, free of undue and burdensome complicity! (so they think)

The martial nation with unending parades, homages, reminders and sundry rites of War — and most jobs in entire lower classes of many states funneled to the MIC and Five Points, a perverse public dole of Death — this is not a problem??? How is there not accountability for this willfully chosen national state of dissociative identity disorder? Can they cheat retribution and deceive the Lord himself??? Who pays for one million suicided Ukies? Do the millions who cheered the killing of Russians and put Ukie flags on their social media and by their gate have carte blanche?

Even if the process was greased with dishonesty and delusion, the base reality is obvious by now within the inner heart of hearts of even the illiterate. “We commit unspeakable crimes over there to live this way here, and we acknowledge it not, and apportion sole blame to slick politicians and fat cats.” Has this ever washed in moral Law?

I think we have the same problem. We both love the people and seek to forgive their excesses – like the merciful Patriarch sought such forgiveness, even for the condemned sodomite cities of Lot. But this is not our prerogative. And I greatly fear we will be denied as was the Patriarch. The list, length and nature of crimes is simply too long and horrid. And they remain intent on the same singular course. Posterity simply needs closure so healing and rebirth can take root.

Looking at it from another perspective, western regimes held complicit any among the entire population who funded, paid taxes to, verbally or otherwise supported the targeted “terrorists and terrorist-supporting enemy nations” — even mere tweets or putting a Z on a car landed some in jail! And levy genocidal sanctions at slightest infringement, with calculated harm. Albright proudly said 0.5M Iraqi kids killed this way was worth it.

So for now, let’s put aside moral Law as so contentious, and really above our pay grade, except for those with copious documentation in front of Nuremberg trials. Just by symmetric response, can western regimes be held to same standard as they treat all others worldwide?

Btw, southern prepper knows the score, like my southern vet patient with shame in his eyes.. They know the overlords are rank criminals without shame or even regard for their own. And that “their service” was largely crime. He works furiously preparing for self sufficiency in the face of imminent society wide political and economic collapse and resultant lawlessness.

I surmise he chooses to speak as he does for several reasons — to escape YT algorithms, perhaps Overton windows, perhaps the understated southern way of speaking, and basically so he can continue to live in USA. If he publically admitted the depths of the depravity, that his paradigm serves Globohomonazidom, and of what was done to Others worldwide by the Army he served and to his own servicemen when they returned… it’s just too bitter. And he is like me a hopeless optimist. Even as he has thinly-veiled contempt for his gauleiters, he chooses to focus on the good and redeemable and assist others to prepare and to remain hopeful.

Yes Sudhi, I very much agree the Junta is a large part of the problem. Professionalism has been lost across the board. It is precisely their corrupt system that permitted IK to float to the surface, like current “leaders” in the West. The same neoliberal template. It is their entire paradigm which no longer works. And blaming it on IK won’t solve their immediate problems. I don’t have solutions…

I think MKB represents the old cadre, like our Pakistani Prof. They maintain, “better the devils we know….” But I do agree with you and Amarynth that this kicking of cans down the road no longer works. Pakistan’s about to erupt and fully fall apart. They need profound change.

btw, note even though official western MSM support the Junta, their social media and NGOs (like Amnesty) support IK. They’re two-faced, playing geopolitical games. Fueling the flames, inciting both sides…. and this is consistent with what we expect of an Empire in retreat leaving scorched earth throughout the World Island, especially its key Indian subcontinent and connectivity to it.

For Siljan, Sudhi, Mr P and friends: from the melancholia archives – “Dark is the Night – Soviet WW2 Song”

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “Reality vs. Narrative” 

(1) BRI vs Western Narrative. The tally so far… “Half the world’s ship cargo now uses China’s BRI”

(2) Mercouris is concerned these spate of lyin’ stories in UK and west about Ukies shooting down 7 Kinzals, wounding the signals ship guarding the Turk Stream, hiding loss of Artyomovsk, etc….  is bravado to maintain morale.
I am more concerned this is shaping the Narrative for Air Barbarossa (AKA Pearl Harbor II) — that “Ruskies are inferior and we can handle them.” To bolster the mindwashed men being sent to their group suicide. Then when the F16s and other hardware starts dropping en masse outta sky like copious fairy dust… feign skullduggery was cause, cry havoc and let loose the nukes. A whole bunch of men (at least 10k in the Air Defender exercise) may be sacrificed to generate the desired outrage, just as on Dec 07, 1941.

(3) on the other hand, a distressing report says “the United States INISISTS the [F16] planes be a specially-modified model capable of carrying the U.S.  “B-61″ free-fall nuclear bomb.”  Incendiary stuff from Hal, if true. These are times he has value. UK, Germany, Poland in favor. Türkiye, Hungary, Greece against. France no where to be seen as usual. Please those listening to broadcast, let us know what he says at 9pm EST… this may explain Medvedev’s stridency of late.

A: I couldn’t find the RT article after a search! Maybe I read it solely on Pepe’s TG?
Lt General Andreas Marlow’s story does seem credible though… maybe the last sentence in your post is questionable though.

Additional: Source of this? : “Bundeswehr General Marlov: soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not interested in training, but in ways to intimidate the enemy”

ZZzzzzzzzz……………

The coming mid-June Air Defender 23 NATO Charge of the Light Brigades moment has several pregnant points, reinforcing it is actually part of the Ukie Offensive, as childishly messaged yesterday by Vice-Roy Vicky. (1) It is the largest multinational air operations exercise in NATO history. Has 10,000 (stated) participants from 25 nations with 220 aircraft. (2) Almost all of its three areas of operations take place over Germany. Finnish Air Force will join.

Quite symbolic, to launch an Air Barbarossa, no? So even if, as is likely, it has little impact on Russia, it allows USA to (1) suicide German-Russian relations for next 10 generations, and (2) in case they choose not to escalate to nukes, to wipe their hands of the Ukrainian front, withdraw from defeated Europa, leaving the smelly doggie bag in Europe’s hands.. that is one scenario anyhow, unless they go full retard and detonate all fronts simultaneous to achieve their longed-for nirvana

Mine was the first generation going through graduate school in the internet age.. how relevant the words of a professor then: ‘your task will be information management.’ More than ever than in the past, when some scholars had to trudge to another country for a single book’s knowledge or to consult an old living library. Now it is like having a fire hydrant to the mouth! What to swallow and what to spit, and on the fly before it chokes you, or worse, wastes your time?! So much, elation intermixed with dread.

These days of quickening, I wish had 36 hours per day or I didn’t need sleep… A paradigm arguably built since Babylon and perpetuated by a continuous Parasite since then is being dismantled in front of our eyes! The news of Ukie deputy GUR spook threatening to kill Putin is not coincidental. They need to stop momentum any which way, and they needed it stopped yesterday. It’s going down Mr P. Russia made its move, ball’s in their court – whether they desire “a world without Russia” and all that entails. Bully’s up to bat. No amount of bleating by Mearsheimer or Kissinger or any other living gargoyle will change a thing or slow time
