Way back in the old days, politicians in trouble with their voters would often be described as “tone deaf” by their less harsh critics. They were in trouble because they no longer had the ability to hear how they sounded to their voters. They would say things that were maybe acceptable behind closed doors in Washington but should never be said in public. Maybe they were prone to saying true things that were best left unsaid or that confirmed things people suspected about the guy.
That is not an expression you hear these days. No one care about how one sounds to the Dirt People, as that no longer matters. What really matters is how you sound to the Cloud People, a lesson Donald Trump learned. The media no longer talks about this either, as they are just as self-absorbed as the rest of them. The result is our politics is now constructed behind soundproof glass. On one side are the politics actors, performing their routines to piped-in cheers from the crowd.
On the other side of the glass is the rest of us, watching an increasingly bizarre political theater performed by increasingly grotesque actors. One performance this week was the arrest of Douglass Mackey, the pro-Trump on-line personality who played the role of Ricky Vaughn on Twitter back in 2016. He was arrested and charged with the crime of disrespecting the regime. The weirdos on the other side of the glass now think it is a good idea to arrest people who hurt their feelings.
The other show was the collusion between the Biden White House and some hedge fund pirates to prevent retail investors from making money at their expense. Instead of letting a few of these guys sink to teach the rest a lesson, the regime swept in and forced the trading platforms to manipulate the market so the bog players could get out from under their bad bets. We literally saw the head of NASDAQ say that they had to manipulate the market so big players could be protected.
This is what the old guys used to call tone deaf. Of course, in our new woke society, “tone deaf” is probably the name of the new Secretary of Housing. Putting that aside, for no reason other than spite the regime convinced millions of people that they no longer have first amendment rights, and the financial markets are every bit as crooked as their elections. They are doing this at the same time they are babbling about the need for unity after they rigged the last election.
It really is an amazing time to be alive. Most people reading this are over forty, so you remember when it was radicals on the college campus claiming that America was a lie and that a cabal of sinister players really ran the country. The people saying this never ventured off the college campus and were happy to live off the system, but they were sure the system was a lie. Now, those people are in charge and not only were they right about the system being a lie, it is normal people saying it now.

Watching my normie friends and relatives become radicalized has been shocking. Our leaders screwing the little guy over in plain view has been eye opening for everyone and I really don’t think they understand the forces they are unleashing. It seems like the speed of acceleration is ramping up continuously now. I really do believe that anything is possible.
That “anything was possible” thought came to me after the knee on the neck nogger released the summer of love. So the election didn’t phase me at all.
Nuclear war? Camps for dissidents? Roving gangs of food looters? Really, what could someone say is off the table in the year zero!?
Yeah, a lot of things are going to blow up in the regime’s face
Insert an obvious joke about Kamala
This. I’ve witnessed it among my normie friends too, and it’s all happened within the last 3-4 months.
Meanwhile in my neck of clown world the neighborhood old hen busybody society is readying a recall petition to cancel a newly elected local politician because someone with way too much time on their hands and an overestimation of their own virtue found some of his old tweets objectionable (“racist!! xenophobic!”). I really hope I’m home when they come knocking petition in one hand pearls firmly clutched in the other. Stupid insufferable bitches.
You nailed it: “someone with way too much time on their hands” –
Think that’s where a lot of this insidious nonsense comes from. If we were still an agrarian society nobody would have the time for all this BS.
I had similar optimism about people waking up during the 2008/2009 bailouts.
Point taken, but it can’t be denied that we’re on a whole other playing field now.
Yep. Some formerly milquetoast people around me are even advocating dissolution. For the first time in my life, I realistically could see some form or variation of revolution/secession. Obviously those usually don’t work out well for anyone, but the raw stupidity slithering out of D.C. may make it inevitable. This first manifested with long-time military families telling their children and grandchildren that they would be disinherited if they joined the service of the D.C. government. Now it is rampant throughout the civilian population. Turning D.C. into Tiananmen Square, to borrow a wise analogy from Z, has not produced the expected… Read more »
Yes. This isn’t about just economics anymore. It’s about the potential attempted genocide of whites in AINO.
That world was a little bit different wherein the system basically said that they would maintain the status quo in exchange for people allowing themselves to be screwed over in trillions of invisible little ways (Bush’s line of destroying capitalism to save it, etc.). Now the system is just a prison guard tormenting the prisoners in exchange for maybe not being tormented quite so much, or maybe not. The math doesn’t work quite so well this time around.
Back then it was just hatred of the banks and maybe a smattering of politicians, mostly on the right, as the Dems were not yet on the side of global capital. Now everyone and everything is fair game, and even Republican voters are seeing how everything is crooked, including sainted capitalism.
The Republican voting base has seemed to change since then.
It’s like an AA meeting: “Hi, my name is _______ and I used to be a civ-nat.”
“Watching my normie friends and relatives become radicalized has been shocking.”
Watching my normie friends and relatives REFUSE to become radicalized has been shocking. N.o.t.h.i.n.g. will stop them from loving Big Brother.
This is also true. Boomer dad, who is a good man, thinks the senator from West Virginia is for some reason going to hold down the fort until the cav arrives in two years. I would be lying if I said it does not make me sad, despite its predictability.
He is stuck in the same political theatre drama he has known all his life. It’s a tough pill to swallow that all the talk radio and voting were pointless wastes of mental energy.
I absolutely wrote the same thing before seeing it was already posted. Its shocking to me. Then again, while I knowingly had been headed this direction, the past year clarified lots of things for lots of people.
Edit: I also want to add as an edit for emphasis, a clarifying event for lots of folks I know was the “Fiery but peaceful protest” caption in front of a burning building on CNN. That was pure dystopian fiction for all to see, distilled in a single screen.
[…] ZMan’s weekly podcast. […]
One of the reasons it is an amazing time to be alive is that our rulers have insured that they no longer need to care what the masses think. This has made them more blunt, transparent and deranged.
All those who are same can do is watch the show and throw monkey wrenches into the gears and profit whenever possible. The investment rebels have done a good job of all three
Kind of refreshing in a left-handed way – you can’t pretend they’re talking out the sides of their mouths anymore. With all the boldness these people go forth with now, it’s still amazing just how goddamn dumb they are; on almost every level.
Why worry about sounding a little “tone deaf” to Norman Normie when every day american life is a pageant of absurdities and perversions? His cherished institutions are maligned and his ancestors made cheap villains in a Tarantino white-murder film fest. His daughters are to be hailed for their slutiness and bitchiness while his sons are to be reviled and shamed unless they wear dresses. His vote doesn’t count and he’d better keep his mouth closed to uttering any truths if he wants to keep his job. On the TV he is the baddie and the butt of every joke. His… Read more »
I’m glad I was the first to upvote this. A pitch-perfect summation of life on 1/29/21.
I’m glad to be the 14th to give this an enthusiastic thumbs up. Post of the Day, perhaps.
A black pill coated with vinegar – and so true. Normie must be made to hate. It’s the only way out of here.
Even better, Normine is being forced to hate.
Because whoever heard of rulers playing the divide and conquer game and winning?
Save this one for archival. That is some nuclear grade RealTalk™ condensed and distilled.
Brilliantly done, Penitent Man. God bless you and yours.
Wow. There needs to be some super upvote mechanism.
^^^ the opposite of tone deaf
The insularity is happening all over. The media shut down comments and now they are shutting down decent on their favorite platforms. Silicon Valley and Wall Street are insulating themselves from the marketplace. Sports leagues have been trying to insulate themselves from their fans.
Corporations have spent a lot of money and research on advertising trying to gain customers. It’s developed into a science. Now they’re turning all of that on its head by giving the customer the finger. Is it that important to them to become woke? Apparently it is, and they’re willing to pay the price.
They’ve made the calculation that white consumers aren’t the future so they are aiming toward a new customer base. That sense of things really hits home when I see new arrivals all jazzed up for the future. For these new arrivals, America is still a thing and something they are going to immerse themselves in. I wonder if this is how it was for the WASPs and Protestants when the Ellis island crowd came over, they saw their America being taken from them and turned on its head. But for the immigrants America was still this thing of amazing future… Read more »
I agree. They’re pushing us aside to make way for the new customers. I saw that a couple of years ago when I attended an NFL game and then an NBA game. During breaks in the action, hip hop type of music was played very loud, trying to rev up the excitement, which seemed like an attempt to appeal to a third world audience. Even popular music itself has moved more toward rap/hip hop. Increasingly in sports and entertainment it’s becoming apparent that it’s not our culture any more.
Over the past 15 years I’ve been taking in a couple of Idaho State University football games every year (trivia: Holt Arena on ISU campus is second oldest indoor stadium after the Astrodome). Up until a couple of years ago the music played was country and classic rock. Now it’s all hip hop. I recently saw a white guy in a lifted mud splattered pickup driving down the road blasting rap. This is still a pretty rural area. In my day it would have been Hank Williams Jr. blaring.
I’ve seen the young small town Whites in their trucks blasting Negromusic. Whites are doomed.
AINO has been Africanized in virtually every way. We’ve traded Western civilization, the unquestionable apex of human achievement, for Neolithic squalor and primitivity. If this fact doesn’t prove that the country has gone sailing around the bend and into the abyss, nothing will.
It’s the exact same story at Texas Tech University in “conservative,” white West Texas.
Good point. The comments sections to newspaper articles first started to disappear seven or eight years ago. That was a real harbinger. Apparently avoidance of dissent instills the belief dissent does not exist.
It’s like breaking your leg and then overdosing on portion pills to stop the pain instead of healing it. Once you cut off feedback from an injured extremity, you begin a course that ends in calamity.
“This has made them more blunt, transparent and deranged.”
See” Pelousy, Nancy.”
Except they do have to care. One news item that’s come up recently is how the big ad players for the super bowl are pulling out this year. The NFL backing BLM and other degeneracy is in the early stages of self destruction. As this trend continues, ad space sells at lower prices and distributors (TV channels) find their contracts unprofitable and try to renege. Revenue for the league drops, players’ salaries decline, and bad teams start going under. Now, not all industries are as susceptible to angry masses as sports entertainment, but the notion that elites can rule for… Read more »
The one that gets me is baseball. This is a sport that practically begs white people to show up for it, and yet… I think Z had mentioned that the monetary feedback loop just does not exist for sports right now. They get most of their money from broadcast deals, and there’s nothing to replace it so he broadcasters will keep paying. Likewise ad budgets haven’t been hit so that money has to go somewhere. I don’t know though, it may be an instance of death by a thousand cuts instead of a sudden loss. First the bars by the… Read more »
There’s more to share price than trading volume, and there’s more to the recent market moves than Reddit. Something evil is in the air. Perhaps the catalyst for a financial pandemic?
Is it time for the game to stop?
Gosh I hope so.
I saw two things in the past few days, that I’ve never seen before..
At one point, when GME was halted, the bid was $250 & the ask was $9,999
The other data point is that a single company, AMC, traded over a BILLION SHARES in one day, certainly some sort of record. (Geez, I remember days when the entirety of trading in every stock on the NYSE was only 7 million shares).
I cashed out. Transferred my money out and everything. I have a feeling this won’t end well for the dirts. But perhaps that will be to our advantage.
Too much to lose is what got us here. The younger set don’t have that problem, in fact, have been frustrated by those clinging to their stuff rather than their freedom. It’s an explosive mix.
Meanwhile, tptb are trying to run the Great Reset, which will do little to put down the yearning for freedom, probably intensify it, really. It makes you wonder. Do they not realize the rules will change in the coming years, or are they afflicted with the same fear of losing their stuff?
Who are these people “yearning for freedom?”. Are they the same people Jorge Bush and the NeoCons told us about? Asking for a friend. …
I’m convinced the Great Reset will ultimately implode due to a lack of infrastructure and cheap energy availability to support what those lunatics are proposing.
The people who saw what happened at the Capitol and thought, ‘Hey, somebody finally did something.’
My 401Z sits in moderate risk as an inflation hedge. There will be no big market correction down since that would require large portions of debt to be wiped out which the Fed can no longer allow without having the wheels come off the system completely.
I’m using my savings to buy some land and a small home. I plan to do it a lot.
Cheating, stealing, crime, and lying are all on the rise and are signs of a low trust society and a casualty of ethnic heterogeneity. Government replacing words and persuasion with the whip. We have used up almost all of our good will, our trust in things, our social capital. How can we build back trust without destroying and replacing the whole corrupt system? A more ethnically homogeneous society would help. We used to be able to close a deal with a handshake. Today even marriages requires lawyers and contracts.
Great points.
> Today even marriages requires lawyers and contracts.
And not just family law attorneys. These days any man seriously considering getting married needs to put all of his assets in a trust before hand.
“How can we build back trust without destroying and replacing the whole corrupt system?”
In a nutshell? You can’t. So build. Community, individual resilience and personal networks. Build what you can while you can and realize that eventually you will have to defend it. You will not be left in peace. And when they come, your defense must mean smashing them and all their works.
Z, because you’re a good lay historian and sometimes it’s nice to get away from the topical and current (especially now) it’d be interesting to see you do a post or a podcast on the “Great Man Theory of History.” No doubt certain things would have happened without the larger than life men who supposedly helmed them (the Vormarz Revolution in Germany didn’t need a central figure). But Trump, for all his faults (and maybe in part because of his faults) was able to make the battle lines crystal clear in a way that Buchanan or Perot never could. It’s… Read more »

I clicked on this link to read the thread and it was from 2018. What do you know, a GameStop reference in the thread. Spooky.
That’s a good post. This is also a good time to read Witness by Whittaker Chambers not just for all the information about the ideological rot in positions of power but how they were able to communicate under the radar. I feel like that’s going to be relevant
It really is like campus. The few people I still keep up with in academia are baffled, utterly baffled, as to why enrollments are dropping and schools are cutting programs. The idea that college is a positional good has never occurred to them, nor the related idea that one can simply choose not to participate. They will be begging in the streets and *still* mystified. Our Rulers, of course, feel they can MAKE us participate… and the only way they’ll find out otherwise gets awfully sporty, awful fast.
There’s a good case to be made that “diversity” is about bringing in unqualified students and their sweet, sweet federal student loans.
Then they figured out that they could do the same to unqualified whites too. Just like they did with mortgages leading up to the ’08 crash, but with better PR.
That academics now have to huddle in fear of their students and mind their mouths (for fear of not being up to date on the latest woke proclamations) …after decades of spewing leftist filth to our youths unfettered… warms my soul.
Yeah, it’s hysterical. I’ve written a lot on the joys of teaching the #Woke. And I got out long before the current madness, which in turn is just the tip of the iceberg now that the Bidenreich is installed. They have no idea of the planet-sized asteroid that’s about to crash on their heads… it’s awesome.
upvoted for “BidenReich”
You like that? I got a million of ’em. The tones clash a little bit, because these were of course Soviet, not that other thing, but I refer to the Bidenreich’s enforcers in BLM as the “Negro Kangs Vengeance Department” (NKVD), and the Just-An-Idea shock troops rioting in Portland as the “Sodomites, Pedos, Trannies, Ergotists, Sociopaths, Neurotics, and Associated Zoomorphs” (SPETSNAZ).
College is basically useless other than those institutions that guarantee a pathway into the ruling class.
That’s what, two or three dozen out of tens of thousands of institutions out there?
hmm the evidence though still shows attendance and debt at record levels . As long as college provides a significant wage premium over no-college. I do not expect much to change.
That’s the thing, though – it doesn’t, and it hasn’t, for a long time. I’d be interested in seeing the numbers. I suspect they’re cooked in all kinds of ways (e.g. lumping attendance at trade schools, getting AA degrees from JuCos, people “attending” online college, etc. getting lumped in). I have never once, in my entire academic career (decades), heard administrators do anything other than bewail declining enrollments. New PhDs can only dream of even adjunct jobs, and as for the tenured faculty… I have a friend at a “teacher training college” whose department just got lumped together with about… Read more »
I’ve been wondering when social media accounts become mandatory for citizenship “rights” because unity.
When it comes to the subject of the way people talk about politicians. I feel it occurred somewhere in the early 2000s. I would also say that social media has played phenomenal part in pushing this attitude among the people. Now, one can observe a politician/celebrity as readily as they’d observe a colleague – so naturally, the language used to speak about and to them changes.
Mind you, I’m only mid 30s, so perhaps this was just the time I became aware of it. No more ‘Mr Johnson’, but rather ‘BoJo’ or ‘BloJo’ or ‘Boris’ or whatever you fancy.
Interesting point about how people refer to politicians. Not sure how much of a part social media has played vs. the influence of a general degradation of the moral fiber of society. How many times in a day do you hear someone addressed with sir or ma’am or Mr. or Mrs. _________? I am certain it is not as frequent now as it would have been 30 or 50 years ago. Of course, folks also used to bother with actual clothing rather than pajamas to go to a store. In general, people were ashamed of receiving assistance for housing and… Read more »

I like Doris.
Where I used to live I went to watch a suburban parade of some sort and who was walking down the path waving at the crowd but Dennis f’n Kucinich with no (visible) security detail. He’s his own kind of fruit-loopy, but it struck me that I hadn’t seen anything like that before or since.
Back in the seventies, Danish PM Anker Jørgensen took the bus to work every day and I’ve seen him alone in the streets several times myself, shopping or taking air or whatever.
And the queen of Denmark, Margrethe II, used to shop at the local market near her summer residence in Graasten without a security detail at all. (Except, of course, all the locals who all knew her and who’d flay and eat alive anyone who laid hand on her.)
ahh, the good ol’ days when templars(swiss bankers are their descendents) competed with the israelites to see who is better at sowing the seeds of european revolutions, makes sense considering it was in Israel where templars learned their craft.
Nice. Hail, and well met fellow crusader! It is funny watching the paper pushers hoard the gleaming gold in various crypts, init? All the while telling the peasants how obsolete the metal is…
they were doing the same thing wrt land
“Oh you don’t want or need acreage anymore, we are no longer an agrarian society, there is no wealth potential in owning land, we are an information society”
And people bought it hook line and sinker and decided becoming a renter in the city working in the information and tech fields was the future
People like Gates and Ted Turner meanwhile are buying up land like no tomorrow
the successful reformer always has support from the elites An excellent point, one needs elite buy-in to even begin to start reforming anything. However, the right, let alone the dissident right, has no buy-in from elites or ‘legitimate’ institutions. In fact, as you point out in the second segment, there is a sort of absorbing state, where those that become elites never cash out; even the purged (say, the old paleos) seem to always be looking to rejoin, or at least stay in the orbit of ‘legitimates’. This is what concerns mean about the new regime: yes, they are increasing… Read more »
Heh. You’re right about the pronouns thing. I was just thinking today, having occasion to browse StackOverflow/StackExchange. The number of contributors that list their pronouns is actually quite large, there do seem to be quite a large number of people in the IT world in that Elite bubble, spiritually and morally if not physically.
It is totally bizarre:
Mike Jones
System Administrator – here to help!

I’ve been in tech for decades. Back in the 20th century, most of my colleagues were nerdy “leave me alone” libertarian-ish types who mocked political correctness.
I see all the changes Mr. OrangeFrog reports and all I can conclude is that the media/schools are very good at molding people.
It’s so sad to see an effeminate young man who wouldn’t have been that way in a different time.
Don’t assume they drank the kool aid. Lots of that stuff happens by default. This nonsense got started in academia, and they used to fill in default pronouns for people (until the act of such assumption became, inevitably, problematic). Corporate America usually lags a decade or so behind the ivory tower, so it might be happening without this guy’s knowing. (Alas, I got out of the ivory tower before that brief glorious moment where they let you input your own bespoke pronouns; I was going to set mine to “Elvis Presley” and “The King of Rock n Roll,” then frame… Read more »
You’re more modest than me. I want to list my pronoun as “Sex God” or “Smartest Guy in the Room,” although I must concede that “King of Rock and Roll” is pretty cool. (I’ve got great memories of my Dad playing Elvis.)
I think it started way before that with the androgyny in pop music, say Jagger or Bowie. I also suspect that fake boobs had some kind of altering effect on the male psyche. I remember in the early 90s that a lot of guys were into chicks with “bolt ons” I remember Playboy going from only natural boobs then over to fake boobs all the time; for me, it was a bit disturbing actually. It was actually the time I found myself feeling increasingly detached from the culture. But then the tranny thing started. Almost as if the fake boobs… Read more »
It’s odd for me to like the a lot of the music of Jagger, Bowie, and even Elvis, but find myself agreeing with all the “uptight,” “judgmental” Christians who denounced them at the time for the effect these artists would have on our society. Those critics were unheeded prophets.
As well, insightful thoughts on fake boobs and ironic tranny shows (a few of which I attended back in the day) laying the groundwork for our current sexual dystopia.
Caught a minute of CBS news last night after dinner. I really wanted to see how they covered the GameStop story. They got to it around 20 minutes into the broadcast, which is extremely telling in its own right, and treated it almost as an amusing human interest story. The “head financial correspondent” who filed the story, of course a woman, managed to do a Skype interview with what we were told was a typical reddit/gamer-type. He was right out of central casting for a laundry commercial, a dust mop-haired mystery meat who looked as if he hadn’t bathed in… Read more »
It’s almost like the same exact people who control the media also control wall street. It’s very eerie. So similar. Almost like they are members of the same “tribe”…
Yes they can.
Sesame Street for adults or what passes for adults, then.
it is an amazing time to be alive
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’
I’m a-stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
ah ah aaaaahhhhhhh
I have to say that as someone who was a leftist all through college and who used to complain that Bush The First was the director of the CIA and all of that, it was definitely in the context of the US government being THE global superpower in my mind, where the leaders were all reliably chamber of commerce types, i.e. The Man. So I never felt endangered by going to the WTO protests or Protesting against the Republican National Convention because it was all mostly a Chomsky-ist fantasy where we were going to make things fair for everyone. But… Read more »
Do you see many of the well meaning “Chomsky-ist”s coming our way? What changed your perspective?
Ref the Robinhood debacle, and further proof we live in bizaro world – Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is set to become chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, announced that he will hold a hearing on the GameStop situation. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., also announced a hearing in the House Financial Services Committee.
With those two driving their Klown Krazy Kars through Kongress – there really is no tellng what kind of krack up ensues (I am not optimistic).
Hey, Noggers are known to handle money real well.
AOC and Rashida Tlaib have called for congressional hearings into market manipulation. I support them in their cause, but with caveats.
Since I believe their deepest motivations are anti-white, it will be interesting to see how they steer an investigation into market manipulation into anti-white, pro-plutocrat conclusions.
If this spectacle occurs, I hope that it will wake some of our people up.
they are gong to steer it into some kind of gibs for dark people, perhaps by framing it early on as an online retail trading world that minorities are excluded from because they don’t have free internet — or something of the nature.
They will “circle it back” to something to do with race.
Go long on anti white bias
Short many people waking up
Ugh. Mitt Romney vs Ted Kennedy? That’s not something you brag about. Faced with that chit sammich, I’d wouldnt vote at all.
I voted for the old drunk with a song in my heart. Ted was a degenerate. Mitt Romney is evil.
Both are / were utterly evil. Romney is just better at it.
How so?
Ted Kennedy, a good Senator but a bad date
that is a good one !!!
Not mine, Denis Leary said it first
Romney is a rank sociopath with especially vicious tendencies. Like other sociopaths, he tends toward self-destruction, which is his Achilles Heel. I assume he isn’t on drugs or alcoholic due to his religion, so something else is making him dangerous and prone to self-immolation. Evil? Probably.
” Something else? ” Just say it. Preferably to his face: “White Upper Class Privilege.”
I think he is a closet case on top of it
I don’t know if you saw the video of him in the airport being approached by an angry voter and Romney’s first response was “put on your mask” but said as a passive aggressive threat that if you didn’t he would scream for security. It was a total woman move.
Go back and look at Romney blowing out the candles on his birthday cake. The video is out there somewhere. He blows them out one at a time. I think he is some kind of nut job. Like he tortured those working class people whose jobs he wiped out at Bain Capital while himself getting rich. No heart, just eliminate those peons. Romney belongs in DC. He is as cold as an iceberg and not self aware. The goofy Mormons gave us this shit. I hope they have the capability to see what a complete nut job they gave the… Read more »
I recall Lawrence O’Donnel (sp?) on the McLaughlin Group just saying something like “ugh, no, not Romney” back when he was running for governor. It stuck with me since it didn’t seem to be a policy or partisan issue for him but actually a character issue (amazingly enough), like hearing that his drunk brother-in-law would be showing up for a get together. How bad were the leftist candidates that Romney beat them.
Ted Kennedy was the worst kind of corpulent machine-political POS and he killed someone, so if murder is the worse than being a neoliberal shill, I’ll have to give TK the edge on worst person.
He also helped shepherd through Hart-Celler and was the cretin who lied on the senate floor about it not changing the demographic make-up of the U.S. Eff him.
To this day, I get angry all over again when I remember what you bring up.
I do laugh when I remember him, during the W-era amnesty push, singing some song in Spanish and being spectacularly out of key.
As the poet said, “Like a drunk in an old midnight choir.”
A lot of this started with him – “the elite” being above the law.
fyi – just heard Kevin Clinesmith – the guy who physically altered emails to make it look like Trump “colluded with the Russians” just got 12 months PROBATION.
Justice is dead folks. Irretrievably dead.
Yup. Dead.
Who’s to say you’re wrong, Z. I thought you were nuts for wanting to vote for Kanye West and look how that turned out…!😂👍
Maybe we should have compromised and JFK’d both of them…
Rules are for you, not for them. The minute the rules stop serving them, they change the rules.
It must get worse before it can get better. Ancient wisdom. Step #4 Waking Up To Reality First & foremost, you must become aware that you are being relentlessly bombarded with insidious misinformation and memetic indoctrination on a daily basis from many communication vectors. This is being conducted as an intentional mental infection and manipulation of group behaviors. The goal is to reprogram most everyone into hive-minded sheeple that innately conform to a manufactured mindset and then surrender free will as a mandate for ongoing citizenship. This assault is a slow, relentless cancer of the mind and it kills robustness.… Read more »
During the presidential nomination process the media made it a point to ignore Tulsi Gabbard. Now she’s no longer in office and some statement or warning from her is almost a daily occurrence. What’s up with that?
Gabbard is truly scared, I think, and it probably isn’t political opportunism. She and her family opposed gay marriage in Hawaii after their state supreme court imposed it. They forced the issue onto the ballot, where voters overwhelmingly decided to retain the traditional definition. Interestingly, her father was a prominent Democratic state senator. Nonetheless, the same left-wing tactics we see today were employed against Gabbard and her family in the aftermath: they were threatened, harassed and eventually the business they owned was forced closed after relentless mostly peaceful protests. She briefly became a Republican more or less as a protest… Read more »
damn..gamestop keeps going up. seems we finally hit peak late stage capitalism. Look like we found the source of infinite wealth. may as well use that for stimulus
The Reddit hive codon has been activated. They are bankrupting as many hedge funds as they can. Chairman Biden’s regulators are strafing the dissidents with illegal regs, but the Reddit hive is gathering momentum. The communist crime cartel has momentarily lost a battle, but this war will rage on.
Godspeed, little Reddit trolls! You make me wish that I could be autistic, too.
The gamers finally rose up
Heh. Ton Def as Secretary of Housing. I like it. And, yes, the radical nuts are now in charge. They rioted and destroyed on behalf of free speech, which was nothing more than a ploy to gain power so they could eliminate free speech. They condemned capitalism tout court, but now that they are in charge, make the robber barons of the late 19th century look like Elie Weisel. They spent decades shrieking about McCarthyism, but ol’ Joe never did to the commies one one thousandth of what the AWR archons are doing to whites and anybody of consequence who… Read more »
Asking them the question: ‘have you no shame’ would be the acme of futility.
VD seems to think the WSB tards may be able to use arbitration lawfare against Robinhood:

Interested in thoughts from those with far more legal experience.
Reference the statement that reform needs the support of some segment of the elites — I do think something different is going on here in the USA due to a peculiarity of our mythology: This is the the fact that we believed that “We the People …” held the reins of power in this ” …new order of being…”. Whereas in most revolutionary situations, this holds true, in this looming crisis, we enter into it believing that WE stood on an equally elevated level as those we held to be elites. Now, yes, I understand all the rejoinders to that… Read more »
Re: “this holds true” above — to clarify, this here refers to the statement that real reform requires some slice of elite support.
Reform is shorthand for a non-violent form of change that utilizes elements of a functioning political system and self-interested cultural biases. Z is largely pursuing a grassroots avenue of reform, and I hope he succeeds, because the alternates generally involve significant pain. In the event that reform falls, the most common historical contingency is a form of a revolution via popular revolt, citizen militias, or secession. I suspect that there are now tens of thousands of men chomping at the bit to sign onto to a militia today, and these numbers will only grow over the next year. Now remember… Read more »

Any thoughts from those with legal experience?
The bidenreich is the Bourbon restoration without the buzz.
“Would it surprise you if our leaders became talking in their own political Esperanto?”
Next segment:
“I’m not sure that is English…”
I don’t know if you mispronounce names as a subtle dig or if you really don’t know how to pronounce them, but the P in Psaki and the final “s” in Jacques are silent. It makes my ears hurt, it’s a sharp contrast to how intelligent and learned you are, and is not a good look.
Good show Z. All your talk of the French Revolution reminds me of what Tallyrand said of the restored Bourbons after Napoleon.
“They have learned nothing and they have forgotten nothing”
Seems to ring true today as well.
Z — the argument I hear from people in Silicon Valley that I assume is what the ruling class says generally is … “We can use total corporate control to punish everyone we don’t like, even 100 million. No banking, internet, cell phone, power, water, or housing for them. We can use Special Forces to steadily eliminate those we really don’t like, and put the rest in virtual camps i.e. homeless on the street. In the meantime we can import 100 million Chinese to run things for us.” And that is what is different: A. total integrated corporate control, B.… Read more »
Not sure what the point of the Philby business is. Of course he’s a scumbag, he’s a spy. Swap out “Americanism” for Communism and he’s one of our spies. Arguably the Russians were better at this kind of humint that the West, but only because they’re Russians, not Communists or any other mere ideology. It’s in their blood. Bond was always insistent that he was a secret agent (on her Majesty’s Secret Service) not a crummy little spy selling secrets in an alley. (The “spion” part of SMERSH is a mistranslation, it means something like “wrecker” not spy; the woman… Read more »
Let me add, I don’t think that combo will scale. Even pozzed military leaders will revolt with the importation of Chinese as it threatens them. We are already seeing with Gamestop sand in the gears — its about hurting hedge funds as much as making money. Massive food inflation and hunger during the Great Reset means possibly an army of 5 or 6 million besieging Washington DC and the crack up of the nation. Swalwell promised to nuke Nebraska to implement gun bans. So that’s the indication among these people as to what they want — a fight to the… Read more »
The climate change people are the nuttiest. They almost universally have a big single home in environments where heat and air conditioning are needed 8 or 9 months of the year. They think Tesla is going to save the world. It never even occurs to these people that if you gave a Tesla for free I couldn’t keep it nor could any of my neighbors. There’s no place to charge the thing! People who live in big suburban houses have a garage and a driveway. California has both outlawed gasoline cars and mandated that their last nuclear power plant be… Read more »
I don’t know if these rulers of ours really believe their own “unify the country, attack on democracy, etc.” bs (I certainly hope they don’t, at least not most of them). It seems more like:
1. gaslighting, and they may be insulated enough to think it works; and/or
2.they don’t need to care what we think, and this is their way of rubbing it in our noses to show how much power they have, and how little we have.
