Yeah, I agree. But, I must disagree on a point of order only. Malignant narcissism as he says is not quite a defined thing. It is a description of a set of weirdnesses that has been seen before.

I prefer the simple one – demented – in both the senses of that word. Dementia as we see in some aged, a loss of function, a neurocognitive decline, or just demented, as it covers a multitude of sins.

Yup .. he had a good night!

Geez .. I think it has been too many years for me … It’s been donkey years since Brian blogged under Tony Cartalucci at the old Land Destroyer Blog. He was the only one, excepting Pepe at the time to give us any decent info on that area of the world.

In 2020, Brian went public and changed his pen name to his real name.

He explained his reason that it would be better to defend himself against ad hominem attacks by the Western press. His pen name no longer offered any protection, but had become more of an obstacle for him.

He always seemed straight to me or at least, any correspondence has always been straight. Anyway … he works hard, is a family man and generally keeps himself to the straight and narrow and does his research well. If he is Mr Agent, well – wow, that feels strange. He has never asked me for any information that I did not give. And believe me, I’ve had a few that angled for being handlers.

I’ve just been through Mr Lavrov discussion with Russian press that was posted.  This becomes very clear.

I loved Lavrov’s one statement:  Back then, not only was faith alive, but there was also a lingering hope that we were dealing with honourable counterparts.

The Demented Donald is not helping anyone!  He has no grasp of historical accuracy.  The French escaped France because they were religiously persecuted and killed minorities.  They were not settlers but they fled.  This man .. oh boy .. he is dangerous.  And then there is this one aunt who married an Italian concentration camp survivor, and builder of roads .. Brit concentration camps and war legacy.

Thing is though ..

G20 as we’ve said and observed for the past two G20’s is now a BRICS shop.   So, let the US stay away.  Let them lose their influence.

He also says South Africa should not be in BRICS, or should be kicked out.  The Dumb Donald has no idea that the G20 was specifically designed for countries like South Africa.  Heavens, that man is a boorish and dumb.   The G20 was established to create a space for countries that could not have a seat at the G8, as it was then constituted.  Now, the G7 is irrelevant, and multilateral institutions such as the G20 are where it is at.

‘Killed and slaughtered’ .. These are the farm murders, a specific type of crime that is different from the normal crime-ridden society.  All that the social, civil and societal groups and people that advocated wanted, is for this specific crime to be legislated as different from the normal crimes in order for it to get higher police attention.  Because it is different.

So, these people in South Africa have to take his comments while he himself is shooting little boats in the Caribean.  Total Disgrace!

I’ve been posting him for months Mr P .. just not too much.

BTW, could you or anyone else in the Big Babylon let us know on two things.  There was a court decision that the current administration has to start paying the SNAP .,.

And

There is a pending decision … The Supreme Court has begun hearings on the legality of President Donald Trump’s use of tariffs as a bargaining tool in international negotiations. During oral arguments, justices expressed skepticism about invoking national emergency powers to justify these trade measures. The case challenges whether Trump overstepped presidential authority, with potential implications for future executive power in trade policy. Protesters gathered outside the courthouse as the debate unfolded. A ruling is pending.
