This week the Power Hour makes its triumphant return just in time to celebrate one of the newest, but most solemn festivals, Insurrection Day. Given the way they have been carrying on for the last year, it is surprising that a congressional idiot has not suggested making it a federal holiday. Then again, that would make it more difficult to brainwash school children into thinking that this is the time when orange Nazis tried to burn down the Reichstag Capitol and seize power with Big Lies!
The absurdity of this ridiculous drama conceals something interesting about the psychology of the political class. They seem to require an Alamo-type event to rally their minds around as they lash out at their enemies. Charlottesville, another trivial affair, has been a rallying point for them. They got three years out of that one, so January 6th will probably be with us through the next presidential election unless some new political tragedy is engineered by our good friends at the FBI.
Part of it is the fact that the ideology of liberal democracy does not provide the sense of struggle required to keep everyone engaged. Like communism, liberal democracy has evolved into a revolutionary mindset without a defined end. It is just a process that goes on until something magical happens and we reach utopia. The commies came up with perpetual revolution to solve this problem. Liberal democracy is evolving a culture of permanent crisis to keep the believers engaged.
Charlottesville and now January 6 are legends that can be told around the campfires as reminders of the struggle. They both have the same elements. The cause was the good people were not vigilant, which allowed the bad guys to form up. Both stories have a point where things could go either way. Both have the point when the righteous swept the villains from the field and triumphed over evil. Both have their martyrs, although the January 6 martyrs are imaginary.
Of course, the more you examine it the more you see that the overlap between ideological zeal and insanity is quite large. These people cannot exist in the world as it is, so they have created a fantasy world. This world of imaginary villains is one where they can pretend to be on the side of angels in the great struggle. By itself it would be harmless, but this madness comes with a fanatical drive to control society. These people are crazy and highly motivated to take over society.
Communism eventually sidelined the fanatics. That is largely what happened when the Brezhnev faction deposed Khrushchev. The more sober minded saw that rule by true believer would get everyone killed. They were still left with an unworkable system full of logical contradictions, but they were able to stabilize it for a generation. It remains to be seen if liberal democracy can pull it off. Biden is the closest analog to Brezhnev and he is a doddering old fool incapable of doing anything.

Didn’t think it was possible, but the Jan. 6 performances were even faker and gayer than I anticipated.
7
it seems to be that in a world where satire is the shape of things to come, the logical end is something like a clown college exploding. Tragic and funny at the same time.
10
I inadvertently suffered through 2-3 minutes of NBC coverage at dinner time. It was like peering into the mind of someone on a bad acid trip. These people should be wearing robes and sipping cocoa inside an institution.
8
The headlines Apple pushed onto my phone about JanSix had me laughing out loud several times yesterday,
2
Once it is seen it cannot be unseen. The Regime has two options: kill those who “incorrectly” saw it or surrender. They can do neither.
1
Kamala’s dramatic reading was the winner. Just the right amount of tearing and lip biting. Like high school children forced to read their MLK day essays.
5
i was disappointed she wasn’t in costume.
maybe a nice Snow White outfit?
1
The only thing that skank is fit for is a new set of knee pads every now and then, and maybe a pack of wet wipes to freshen up afterwards.
1
She had practice, faking orgasms for ol’ Willie
1
She actually compared January 6th to Pearl Harbor. She needs to be slapped.
1
Liz Cheney should’ve added in a video clip of dancing Israelis.
Hope this is a good one. This will be my first Power Hour listened to with headphones while putting around on my Gravely zero turn mowing the yard.
This is exciting !
3
That’s a ton of takes on a fake tragedy today. I look forward to listening this afternoon as I sip some tequila.
1
Kids will be learning about the Jan 6 Insurrection in schools for as long as the empire will exist. Museums will be built and school trips will be regularly made to them.
2
AOC’s moistened panties, inside a temperature controlled glass case, will be a favorite stop during the tour.
5
AOC’s rage is she didn’t get what she’s wanted from her boyfriend for ages, a strong man storming in and ravishing her.
3
if you put a quarter in, you can get a whiff of them.
1
One of these days the most favorite thing will be a picture of AOC or any of them for that manner ending up like hanging around a gas station just like Mussolini did on April 29, 1945.
3
with a big cucumber stuffed in her ass.

” Kids will be learning about the Jan 6 Insurrection in schools for as long as the empire will exist.”
When HALF of the people come right out and say ” The January 6 Insurrection” is a Government pysop fake-flag lie, the empire is finished. There won’t be any kiddies being brainwashed much longer because that edifice of rot will be gone too. There won’t be any museums built because every Democrat Sh@thole city where they have those will look like Beirut, and their constituents will have long since looted anything of value they had there.
The only question left is this: Does it all fall apart like the Soviet Union without a shot being fired, or do they actually start something leading to shooting. Right there is a question whose outcome determines if no one dies, or we lose 10 to 30 million in a final blaze.
Scarry, isn’t it?
1
when the shooting starts, the regime will have whatever man power it can muster, pinned down in the cities. and that’s when their people in the field are wiped out. followed by sieges on the cities. no one is going to fight and die for this crew, no one.
most likely the biden admin personnel will be gunned down immediately (by a counter faction of the inner party) once shooting starts.
1
Well I figure the first thing to happen is the South cuts off all energy to Commie Land, and disconnects their power grid from them. I don’t think they even have one oil refinery up there
Another thing is, they can’t even make guns like they did in 1861 to 1865. Most of those companies moved South of the Ohio awhile back. Had something to do with making those evil black rifles that honkies like to buy.
2
oh yeah, they will be shut down very quickly, then killed in place.
Compare and contrast how the Soviet Union left Afghanistan with how the United States did. The same difference will hold when the United States collapses.
1
Kids will be learning about the Jan 6 Insurrection in schools for as long as the empire will exist.
Britain had the gunpowder plot.
AINO has the graybeard flop.
Perhaps a few centuries on cool kids will wear masks of Trump as protest against the regime.
3
As Severian say: faker and gayer, or FNG. Even with full control of all information inputs it’s a hard sell to get people to believe that they’re the Chinese guy stopping the column of tanks when all the pictures are of them driving people over with their tanks.
2
The irony of JanSix as the democrats’ Reichstag fire is completely lost on them.
1
Supposedly there are 14,000 hours of video from the area/festivities.
Anyone care to make a guess as to how much will be released, if any?
7
You’d think that with 14,000 hours of material to work with they could edit it down to a few minute long clips to push their agenda.
Apparently not. Which is pretty amazing.
6
They are so incompetent that I knew they screwed up when the video we did see entailed their black n’ tans police pulling back the barricades and waving those people in. I was going like, “Are you kidding me?”
4
Just reading the headlines of the links provided are white-pilling me (and making me chuckle lol):
“◾Salon: Republican voters don’t actually “believe” the Big Lie about January 6 — they’re in on the con”
People THIS insane cannot stay in power. God, logic, whatever, will not allow that. They are too ridiculous to remain scary. There is no way in sweet hell this regime will not fall. No one will put up with Goofy in charge. They are toast, they must be.
6
Democratic Communists just can’t fathom that no one cares about anything they have to say. That leads me to asking them question: When are you puss#es actually going to try to do something to us?
5
The trauma still resides in me, triggered by that photo of the grandma serenely marching inside the velvet ropes taking it all in like the one last Capitol tour before she goes home. Wrinkled nazi.
10
That haughty air!
Like a conquering queen, admiring that mountain of skulls!
How could she?
HOW COULD SHE!!
1
Considering the left has been crying for a revolution for over a century, you have to laugh at their sanctimonious patriotism now that they’re actually getting one. Maybe it’s because they’ve realized that if there’s any revolution, they’ll be on the business end of it.
6
The Left has won a revolution, or at least thinks it has, so now the pivot is to force all the unclean to be patriotic to “Our Democracy” because dissent is now evil. Of course, the dumpster fire neither can be ignored nor extinguished.
“Liberal democracy is evolving a culture of permanent crisis to keep the believers engaged.”
Which is also why they will push the Branch Covidian cult to the max.
3
Let me cite the First Rule of Clown World: no matter how fake and gay you think something’s going to be, it will always end up being so much faker and gayer. I figured the Insurrection Day memorial would be so fake and gay, Perez Hilton himself would beg them to tone it down… but even I couldn’t imagine that they’d break out a song and dance number. Like Africa, Clown World always wins. Well played, you crazy diamonds… well played.
9
Clown World A Wins – CWAW.

“….it will always end up being so much faker and gayer”
Because they are ALL fake and often very gay…..
1
Dis Is Clownworld, Kangs –
(With apologies to “Blood Diamonds”)
Caught the first few minutes of the local FM news radio – the “conservative” one with the Sean Hannity show on in the afternoon – and the hosts were getting voice messages on their “open line” by normiecons saying the Capitol riot wasn’t all that it was made up to be. The cuck-twink who hosts the morning drive, and his brain-dead co-host, were replying to them to the tune of “If that’s not an insurrection, I don’t know what is”. Then a “Mmh-hmm, dictionary definition!” from his co-host. THIS was a dictionary definition of propaganda as laid down by their corporate masters. But nice to see a little pushback by the unwashed normiecon.

You know, all of this January 6 stuff is really entertaining. Everywhere you read commie agitprop press it’s everywhere.
I was reading about the real Brandon the other day- the NASCAR driver who got dragged into something he didn’t even do. Someone was going to sponsor his car and actually paint a “LBG” on it. NASCAR, or course, pooped out 10 litters of puppies and said we ain’t having that around here.
The commentaries were worth a 12 pack and a fifth of 100 proof. ALL of them were wailing about evil Republicans and their insurrection, and they were telling the few dissidents how that’s the way free enterprise works, and hurray for NASCAR stiffing all of those white-supremacist crackers down there. That’ll teach them!!
I was so amused that no one actually talked about how free enterprise works for NASCAR nowadays. I think their attendance is down over 75% before they went all in for cunnilingus for the woke. These people are so lame and ineffective. I still figure its about time for a new false flag. Those people are getting ready for something.
6
The reason Brandon Brown was pursuing that sponsorship from an obscure cryptocurrency is that traditional NASCAR sponsors are shunning him because of the “Let’s Go Brandon” line. His only contribution to it has been winning the race and standing there while the brain dead NBC reporter told him they were shouting “let’s go Brandon.” A competent organization would help him line up other sponsors so he wouldn’t be in that situation. That’s not the Kwanzaa lovers at NASCAR. They would rather run a driver out of the sport than even meekly push back at their corporate sponsors.

In regards to Jason Stanley, he got dragged by Beattie in a legendary twitter thread when Jason posted his lackluster SAT score proudly.
And this guy is in Yale, which shows sociopathy is more important than brains in the elites.
Still don’t know what to make of Ted Cruz and his use of the word terrorist to describe the Jan 6th actors. Is there anybody in the senate who can be trusted? Tucker couldn’t get him to admit the truth, which is that he is something other than what a lot of us had hoped he was. Not sure what that is, but it sickened me to see it.
4
Ted Cruz, Gaetz, Hawley, Gosar, etc. all swore an oath to uphold muh constitution. The regime thinks that the J-6ers were trying to defy the constitution.
Cruz is the weathervane. His function is to discern if Joe Normie will line up to restore “Normalcy” or if distrust is so high that other methods will be required.
It will be interesting to see the level of support for primarying the bastard prior to his 2024 re-election bid.
pretty sure that jason stanley guy is a tribe member, liberal juuz consider the word nazi to mean enemy of juish interests. Anyone who opposes official public policies is a nazi, if you don’t buy into juuish scams you’re a nazi, plain & simple.
if there are people within the republican party who oppose mainstream liberal ideas then that must mean they are nazis, they can’t publicly call them enemy of the juuz so they call them nazis.
Nazi party might be gone, but the nazi spirit is still alive, that’s what the tribe believes, a present day badwhite is a white who would have approved of hitler back in the day, opposition to liberalism is how a tribe person figures out if you’re a bad white or not.
Everything that’s going on today stems from WW2, first it was the nazis who were bad, then it was the racists, then it was the nationalists, now all whites are guilty until proven otherwise.
